[Amazon Fire Phone] Viperise152:
I have had the unrooted unlocked 3.6.8 version for a few months now. I had no issues side loading any of the Google products to the phone. I did have install older android 4.2 versions of the 4 files and that worked on the AT&T version. Google Maps have the double texted which is annoying but i have been using either the chrome version or Here app for navigation. Weird thing i could be wrong but my Zillow app has a map feature that does not have that issue. Not sure if it using GMaps but I thought it did. Someone smarter than me might want to see what the Zillow app does differently. My home screen is the Google Launcher with Zooper Widgets. IT runs and fells like a normal android device. Not having a back but does cause issues with some apps that have their own back button. If you press the home button once it takes you to the main screen you set in the launcher just like normal Android devices. If you double tap the home button it opens the FireOS recent app/app killer menu which I like MUCH better then the Lolliop way. The camera is great it takes wonderfulphotos much better then my Nexus 4.

For me this phone was a no brainer at the price

I have installed a back button apk, which works well

I have also installed lightning launcher, i wasnt after the pure android look, but i never went back to the main screen always stayed in the app drawer, so thought why not

Nova didnt work, the wallpapers didnt.
[Amazon Fire Phone] RRRRico:
1. Actually, you can wipe from bottom to up to perform a BACK operation.

2. I tried google now launcher. No widget and no wallpaper.

3. Not yet..

4. Google play actually works for most of the apps. I'm trying to figure out how to back up photo to google photos, as google+ can't be installed.

I think fire phone has a great camera. And if you're a heavy amazon prime user , I mean things like instant video and prime music, maybe getting one is pretty good.

this is the google plus you need. hope i'm sharing it right.... http://1drv.ms/19usj1W

I dont regret getting it. My prime was up soon so at a hundred bucks i say its an awesome phone. I did use google now launcher for a couple weeks but then decided to give the amazon launcher a try and i'm still using it two months later. The swipe up to go back isnt perfect but you do get used to it. I have a pretty thick case on my phone so the only time i have a hard time is in landscape cuz my finger hits the case. For notifications I use heads-up and it works really well. You really just need it for for apps you load through google play. If you use facebook messenger you can use the bubble thing. I dont use it but i have. You just have to mess with the messenger app settings. As far as sideloading... what do you want to sideload? I gave the link of google plus that works so that fixes that... hangouts notifications is fixed by heads up cuz the regular notifications disappear in one sec. Maps doesnt work cuz of the text but nokia here works really well and i've come to really enjoy it and dont miss maps at all. Other than that everything I loaded through google play works very well... clash of clans, pebble watch app. youtube, drive,google play music, keep, gmail. The only app I havent had the opportunity to use is wallet but i did install it and it loads fine. Just not sure if the nfc side of it works. If anybody has info on that it would be appreciated.

Oh and the firefly app is awesome plus the amazon prime music app has gotten really really good. Maybe theres room for improvement but I love it now. You dont have to add each song to your library to listen. You can just search and play and there's a lot of music included and new stuff is added all the time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Viperise152:
Which widgets are you referring to that don't work with the Google launcher? My Zooper, Hangouts, CNN, and Google Music widgets work for me.

Buzz launcher is awesome, nova worked but no wallpaper or widgets, I tried like 30 launchers but because we're stuck on 4.2 we can't do much for now.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeshan94:
hello,

I'm on xt1022 stock 4.4.4 rooted and want to upgrade to 5.0.2.

in 5.0.2 network settings there is only option of

preferred networks (2g or 3g).

i want to have 3g only, 2g only (wcdma

only,gsm only) options on both my sim

cards.

by dialing *#*#4636#*#* I'm able to set

only sim1 as wcdma only but i require

this functionality for both the sim cards.

on 4.4.4 i installed gravity box and overcame this restriction, but gravity box still doesn't support this feature on lollipop.

1) is there any other work around in lollipop ?

2) users of cm12 or any other custom rom of lollipop, please tell me whether you guys have this feature in your respective roms ?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Adarsh-:
disable 3g(set 2g) on one sim which u dont use for internet and then see the other sim setting...there u can now set it to be 3g
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeshan94:
bro i want 'force 3g' options. what you're saying is 'preferred 3g' option. in 'preferred 3g' if 3g network is low phone switches back to 2g but that's not the case in 'force 3g'.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeshan94:
okay so with the latest version of gravity box (14/03/2015) i can set 3g only on both the sim cards.

OK - having become a bit of a serial flasher, I am now trying to reduce my reinstall times by using various cabs to set up my M3100.

I have searched and by cribbing various cabs etc am making some progress. But, I have hit a few problems I cannot find solutions to currently.

I do have occassional access to both CabManager and Visual Studio 2005, but don't really know much so would need step by step help especially with the latter.

Particular questions:

Owner Name - I have cribbed a cab to install this in the registry, but all it seems to do is clear the entry, not put in the name. I have combined this with the rabdo cab i use for network set up.

I understand from other posts that I cannot embed the serial numbers in the cabs for my applications, and so will have to live with that.

SPB Weather - I use the BBC template and two specific city codes for work and Home. Whilst I have got the template to copy onto the device with SPB Weather, I cannot work out how to embed the two city options and also install the template as a weather source as part of the install.

O2plus. I only use the shortcuts menu, battery meter and running programs options on this. I want to remove the rest which I should be able to manage on my own. What I would like to do is set up the tabs and list of programmes etc as part of the install? Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to set up a cab to install my exchange certificate and then my exchange setup details as well - If anyone could give me some pointers re the setup then I can go away and try and work it out after that.

I have tried to search for answers/examples and apologise for stupid questions, but a few pointers would really help to kickstart me again.

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIPNobie:
Hi. 2 weeks ago, I updated my i9295 to the official 5.0.1 update. Upon checking the internal storage, I notice something strange with the amount of space used. Thinking that there are some files from CM12 that have not been deleted yet, I decided to factory restore my phone. However, after restoring all my apps and data, the issue still persists.

From the screenshots attached below, it says that the Used Space takes 4.60 GB. Clicking on that, I'm presented with a more specific breakdown. However, if I were to add everything, it only amounts to 1.28 GB. Same thing applies to the Miscellaneous Files; it says that it takes 4.39 GB but adding the size of every file, it totals to just 2.52 GB. How can I know what files are in the unaccounted 5.19 GB?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tfpHumorBlog:
Never had a non-rooted Android until now (Note 2, 3, 4) and the lag is insane for me. I use Greenify and have it killing nearly everything that is non-essential. I only have GPS, WiFi, basic SPan, and Sync enabled, none of the other stuff. I'll reboot every day or two. I close out apps when I'm done using them, etc. There isn't anything super obvious I'm doing to increase lag. But it's there. Even Contacts force closes every few days. Hangouts does not play nice with Swype. Just to pull up the phone log takes a long time. Any advice or should I just reflash stock to see if that helps?

Thanks, and if you haven't pledged to the root bounty, please do! Let's get this thing solved! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tfpHumorBlog:
I use Nova Prime for the launcher which hopefully doesn't add to the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
I use Nova as well and my Note is fairly snappy. I have found that every so often an app will either kill battery or slow the UI down.

There are lots of things that can be causing it so I'm on sure if there's a quick fix without really k owing more of your setup. (what's installed, art/davlik, developer settings, etc.)

I personally don't use greenify on a no rooted device cause I couldn't get it to automatically work. What I did do, and it seems to have helped greatly is to block/disable a bunch of bloat with the program at the following link:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadave:
I want a rom that includes the following:

1. way to clear all the recent task list with a click, like the pre lollipop stock did.

2. An intermediate option on the volume rocker between vibrate and normal volume with a "meeting mode." where the phone just rings a single beep. Similar to the old nokia phones did.

3. Tethering.

4. Stable and fast and lite.

5. Data defaults to wifi. I have issues getting the wifi webpage to sign in to hot spots unless I turn off cell data.

Anyone have any suggestions

If you're doing this just so it looks tidy, in case you're unaware this is a bad idea if you do it regularly. Unless of course you're unhappy with how much battery lasts and want to make it last less.

Looking through a hundred open apps is a lot more of a pain than plugging my phone in to get charged. I appreciate your concern for my battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
Most ROMs have #1, the lightest is probably Clean ROM. They all have #3. None have #2. No ROM will do better at #5 than stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I agree that I think Google made a mistake with recents. It should just reflect cached apps. Hopefully custom ROMs will implement a modified version. But many people don't understand then associated drain caused by always clearing recents so on the off-chance that you didn't, I thought I'd let you know about it.

You never have to go more than a few apps back to find your recently cached apps so you shouldnt ever have to look through a hundred apps. They're just in the background
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadave:
How do you even know it causes more drain? Have you taken multiple nexus 6 and controlled for all variables such as apps, age of device etc and compared them with statistical analysis for significance?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not sure if its an internet language barrier but your post reads as if you're being confrontational.

Its common sense. Android is designed to cache apps for quick retrieval. If you open an app cold, it uses significantly more CPU cycles to open up than a cached app. More CPU cycles = More power uses = shorter batter life. If you're constantly clearing recents and always starting your regularly used apps up from cold, you will take a battery hit. I don't need to do a statistical analysis for this fact, in the same way I don't need statistics to prove that one day, we'll be dead.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadave:
It's an assumption. I can make the same argument right back at you. Pulling up the task list and displaying 20 items and scrolling use plenty cpu cycles.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Actually it is not an assumption. Its a fact. And science! I can't believe you could even think it was an assumption, unless you don't understand CPU cycles, energy use or the principles of caching..

And no, the argument you're presenting does not use extra CPU cycles. I've come to the understanding that you are indeed being intentionally confrontational. I was just trying to help in case you didn't understand this concept - as a warning. To be honest I dont care if you waste CPU. I just wanted to let you know in case you were.

Let's not have this turn into you being an anti-vaccer that doesn't believe in measles.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadave:
I'm an inquisitive not confrontational, and you have not proven your point. Though if you actually worked on the android OS team I'd take your word for it. I don't take most people's words for anything. The media is full of lies, the government are all thieves and liars. Trust no one. Many published publications have been redacted and falsified.

However, suppose you are correct.

So how many items do you have on your recently used list? You don't find it the least bit inefficient searching through all the clutter on your recently used list.

-Dead
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
OK if you're simply being inquisitive, then I apologise for that assumption.

Well the beauty of it is you don't need to take my word for it. You can research the subject yourself. Whether you believe me or not though, it is a fact that android caches apps and that cached apps take fewer CPU cycles to open than an uncached app. You can even find some statements from the Greenify developer stating this if you're so inclined.

As for my recent a list, I have 122 items. I only use recents to switch between open and cached apps. I'd say I probably never go more than 10 apps back in that list so anything in there over that amount is irrelevant to me. Yes it is quicker to find an app in my app drawer or from my pie / glovebox shortcuts than way back in my recents list since the recent list is only sorted in order of when I last used it. Recents is only really for quick task switching. I did already agree that anything that isn't cached is pretty pointless appearing on recents and I have no idea why they decided to design it like this but it doesn't bother me much because of the way I use recents. Also, since I would much rather use a cached app than start cold, I'd also rather not clear recents. You don't even need to use the recents interface anyway. Whether you call an app from the recents list or the drawer, if its cached, it will load it quicker and more efficiently. As long as its not cleared from recents..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadave:
I found some vague reference that if you clear an app from the recent list it doesn't even close the app process it just goes away from the list depending on the specific app.

In the end I don't really care if it uses more cpu cycles, I just want it not cluttered. I don't need to show my phone to a significant other and have them see every recent app I went to. I favor privacy and less clutter over cpu cycles. It was a mistake on google's part not to leave it up to the user.

I'm also not sure why it's such a pain in the butt to find a way to have a setting to have a single ring without it repeating. I made my own ring tone with a single beep and 30 seconds of silence but it still sucks because I can't easily switch back and forth without installing another app for profiles and such making it a lot more complicated...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If the app is coded against googles guidelines, that could be the case though I've never found one that does that. Its quite an easy test to do too.

Open an app that's in recents then minimise it. Clear from recents again and if it opens fresh, its working as Google intended

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im always closing/clearing my recents. whatever battery drain that it causes me is so very minimal that it really doesnt matter.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The more you do it and the more you use the apps you're clearing, the worse it is. More so of you're just blanket clearing them all. Regardless of whether you perceive a difference or not, its a real thing. Efficiency, battery and performance all take a hit and that's what its there for. Oh and convenience of course. Its awful if you're in a thread on tapa talk and then check something really quick then you have to load the app up again and find the thread.

I wouldn't use Tapatalk if the forum theme was better. I know you use an older one but on a computer the newer one is better but in a mobile browser it kills too much space.

That said when I installed Firefox, I changed the theme and it didn't change in chromium so maybe the theme is tracked in cookies? If so I'd happily change it on my phone. Though I do like the "participated" tags on the latest theme.

Hello All,

I just baught a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and within a usage of a day i felt that it is heating up, this is my third day of usage and i can still sometimes feel it heating up, especially after gaming. My phone's running on Kitkat V 4.4.4

My questions are:

1. Is it normal for a phone to be this hot, because it certainly isn't

2. If it is not normal(which im sure) then is there any certain app running in the background that's making it hot?

3. Also my AnTuTu benchmark score is 48616. is is good enough compared to other Note 4 phones?

Also please suggest some setting which i can make to make my phone work even better as i'm new to this phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..!

Thanks alot everyone! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LTE-X:
As you are aware, gaming activates all 8 cores in the Galaxy Note 4, therefore you will feel noticeable heat after or during gaming. If your phone heats up regularly, I would check if you have any opened applications using the soft key and close them when you are not using them. If it still heats up, I recommend a factory reset.

3) Benchmark is not a good representation of the performance. Galaxy Note 4 AnTuTu benchmark scores vary from 47000-50000, so your device rating is just about right. Not too good, not too bad.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujikhalid:
Thanks for the reply! I usually am most of the time clearing up apps.. Even then the phone sometimes feel hot, it's better I should do a factory reset, but would resetting it make its warranty void? Sorry for such silly questions... I'm just a noob ?
