[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuclearBastard:
But dude, nothing of what you said answers my question at all -

I was asking Why it happens (what causes it to make such huge changes? faulty battery, faulty motherboard?), and What do I do to prevent it?

I didn't ask how does the % estimation system works, mainly because it's obvious?

And as I already said, I don't really have a problem with this happening while the phone is idle on the table let's say, the real problem is with real-time constant use (like surfing a lot, doing work stuff, playing) when I use it for a long time and the phone just turns off since it didn't have the time to re-evaluate its real battery status.

To make it simple, the phone doesn't realize it has more juice to give before it turns off on a non stop usage.

Back to my main question then -

How do I fix that?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I did answer your question: "When it detects it has been calculated incorrectly, it readjusts itself slowly, so it looks like it's going up."

It simply calculated it wrong, so it's adjusting itself. There is nothing wrong with any of your hardware nor software.

It is not a problem, and therefore it requires no fix.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
It's good news. You can forget about where you put your wallcharger. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuclearBastard:
Oh man. you're totally not catching my drift.

I realize WHY the percentage is going up, what I don't understand is WHAT causes it to eventually misread the actual mA that's left.

And again I say - ofcourse it's a problem. and OFCOURSE that something is going wrong.

Take it to a more extreme scenario - I could use the phone non stop from 100% to 0, only to truly figure out eventually that the battery has atleast 30-60 minutes left in it.

The phone misreads the actual amount of power it still has. even if it only corrects itself by +1% it's still a problem.

Clearly that's not the case, when you see I got a +~11% in about an hour. it's a much worse problem. An easy ~20 minutes of use before the phone shuts itself down, WASTED.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
What causes it to misread/recalculate could be one of many things.

For example:

Lets say the defined average battery usage calculation for when data is on is a value of "10 per minute" (for explanation purposes).

If you had a terrible data signal, it would use more battery, and if you had a perfect signal, it would use a bit less.

Lets say you had an absolutely perfect signal, that actually really only used 5 per minute. The calculation would then be incorrect as the device realistically used up less battery than calculated, possibly causing it to readjust itself after a while.

Of course the above is just an example, and it could apply to many other things together (screen, CPU, GPU, signal, WiFi, usage, GPS, etc). This happens on every single device and there is no way around it. If anything, it is causing you to get MORE usage out of your battery, not less, since it is increasing the percentage value as per recalculation. If it did not recalculate, and your device realistically used less battery than the calculation thinks, then your device would shut off earlier, no?

This also applies vice versa: if your device used MORE battery than calculated, it will drop the percentage when recalculating to make sure it shuts off before the battery would be damaged or even completely dead/unusable/un-rechargeable by being physically drained to 0%. Your device is also purposefully shutting itself off a slight bit prematurely to prevent this (this is also why you should not constantly attempt to turn on the phone when it shuts off at "0%").

I have a Galaxy Note SGh-I717 AT&T. I have it rooted and running CWM and Candy5. I recently put twrp on my recently acquired Gaalaxy Tab 2. I would like to put twrp on my Note. I have searched and have read for hours.

I need a twrp tar.md5 file for to install on my Note with Odin3. I have looked and can find tar files. The more I read about zip or img file conversion to tar.md5 conversion, the more confused I get. I am not a programmer but have experience as UNIX admin. I have been searcgubg for a while. What I find is all a couple years old.

Can anyone direct me to a current twrp tar.md5 for my AT&T Galaxy Note?

Just flash the twrp zip with your existing cwm recovery.

Now to do a backup and update to the latest Candy5 on my SGH-i717.
[Asus ZenWatch] shaolin95:
Hello!

I was wondering if the Zenwatch sports tracking stuff is as bad as some reviews I read or if that has been fixed. I like the style so I will appreciate any comments from users that owned it for a while now.

Thanks!
[Asus ZenWatch] CSX321:
The only sports-type things it has are heart rate and step counting. I'm not sure if the step counter even uses the watch, actually. I think it uses Google Fit on the phone. I don't really use the step counter, but use the activity timer from Fit instead. The heart rate sensor is finicky, and you're unlikely to get an accurate reading unless your fingers are just the right dampness. Although the heart rate sensors on a lot of devices are not very accurate, either. I have a difficult time getting a good reading from the one on my treadmill, for instance.

I think none of the available smartwatches are as good at fitness functions as some of the more dedicated devices. But for an Android Wear device, the ZenWatch is very nice, and I like it a lot.
[Asus ZenWatch] hecksagon:
The step counter uses the accelerator in the watch and works independently from a phone. It works about as well as any arm mounted pedometer. If you don't move your arms much when you walk it may not record all your steps. It may also record some arm movements as steps, but not often. The heart rate monitor is useless, but so is every other Android Wear watch heart rate monitor. This definitely isn't a fitness band.

Because I swear if Samsung didn't do a major overhaul for the emojis, I'm going to have issues

Samsung's emojis are probably the most cartoonish and weirdest-looking compared to all the emojis from Apple, LG, and HTC.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyjkl:
If anything you can install a custom system font that changes emojis into better ones. This might require root but it will definitely be worth it. Or you can install a 3rd party keyboard. That might get the job done.

I found this review:

See this page, somewhere in the middle of this review you can see screenshots of the emojis. This is a Russian review, but Google can translate the page for you. So it look like the emoji's are the same as always.. I don't see any difference.

P.S wht should be done if i want to flash soak test ota.? Should i need to get back to stock recovery..? If yes then how..?

[Moto X Q&A] adity:
Well you have to be completely stock in order to flash ota.

But here is the thing...

If you face any problem you won't be able to downgrade or expect to resolve your issue until the Indian firmware is actually released which could take some weeks
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
It could be a refererence to -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202

You need to be as close to stock as possible. The OTA's have a pre-flash validation check in them. If anything on your phone varies from what the pre-check wants to see (missing or wrong files, wrong build.prop values, etc), the OTA install will fail.

Also, you must have stock recovery, or you'll get stuck in a bootloop trying to install the OTA.

There are a few threads around on taking an OTA. And I collected some info at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-OTA.html

Its likely due to contracts between Moto and those carriers.

It is possible!!

I just did it earlier today, google "sunshine moto x" I had trouble initially but went on the site talked to the dec and he fixed the app for me, I am now unlocked deciding which 5.0 rom I want to go with. (sucks no moto apps until they relase the official )
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
I tried sunshine 3.0.3 on a VZW 4.4.4 non-dev phone and it couldn't achieve temp root. You are saying that it worked for you on a VZW locked non-dev 4.4.4 phone?

Edited: Just tried it on 3.0.4 as well. No joy.
[Moto X Q&A] mh0520:
I think it depends on how you got to 4.4.4. If you took the official OTA, like I did, you're out of luck.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
Yeah, that is what I suspect. I am pretty sure if JCase had added support for the moto x in sunshine, he would've announced it by now. Lots of money to be had.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Sunshine relies on your phone being rooted, or the tool being able to obtain temp root.

4.4.4 on the 2013 Verizon Moto X, or most/all 2013 Moto X on locked bootloader, hasn't been rooted, and the tool can't temp root the phone.

So if you have 4.4.4 on the 2013 Moto X, do not expect Sunshine to work.

If you have never updated the 2013 Moto X to 4.4.4, then Sunshine will likely work just fine.
[Moto X Q&A] BADDINOROX99:
I took the soak test leak and pushed it to my phone and I can't unlock my boot loader either I don't think it has anything to do with that :/
[Moto X Q&A] mh0520:
Did you update everything or did you individually update components? I think it came down to whether or not people updated the bootloader when they updated to 4.4.4. There was a way to update without updating the bootloader and I think it's those phones that sunshine works for. I'm far from an expert though; I could definitely be wrong.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
I'm well aware of this. But he claimed it worked for him.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
But gchase23 did NOT say what rom was on his phone BEFORE using Sunshine.. only that he was now unlocked and trying to decide on which 5.0 rom to run.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

People were being "cute" and manual flashing SBF's but skipping GPT.BIN and Motoboot.img (two parts that can't be downgraded).

However, as I understand it, this doesn't change the fact that 4.4.4 can't be rooted or temp rooted by Sunshine, which prevents it from working. It does mean that if done this way, they could likely downgrade to their previous SBF which matches the GPT.Bin/Motoboot (probably 4.4.2), and still use sunshine.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
Dude, did you read what I quoted? He said sunshine unlocked his moto x. The OP specifies 4.4.4 and he said "I just did it", implying he was on 444.

I think you are skipping over a bit and replying only to parts of what I asked. I am well aware that sunshine won't work on 444. He stated he unlocked his with sunshine... Using only the words " I did it". I asked if he was on 444.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Its implied, but I've been on these boards enough to question when its not explicitly stated. ;)

I was hoping he'd come back and provide confirmation that he was on 4.4.4, and what bootloader was on his phone
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
And that is exactly what I was getting at. :)

When asked about the future of sunshine for the 2013 moto x, JCase said "not anytime soon." :(

Notice he says "XT1060 4.4.3 VZW - Rooted" Um, XT1060 never had 4.4.3, only 4.4.2 and 4.4.4. So I'm not sure we'll get a straight answer, because I replied asking for clarification, and didn't get a response.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
Oh wow. Yeah, something is a bit off there.

JCase said something a while ago about a bunch of exploits he would be releasing. I was/am really hoping there would be something that we could use to gain root on the 2013 Moto X, but with his last comment on twitter, I'm not so sure that is going to happen.

If I were in any other situation, I would be looking for a new phone, but two things are preventing it. First, I love the Moto X and haven't found another phone I like better. Second, MY moto x is already unlocked (I held on to 4.4 until Sunshine came out). Its my wifes and my fathers that are not. Somehow they ended up on 4.4.4 without knowing it. They claim it just happened while they were sleeping. I more quickly suspect they tapped on it thinking it was an app update from the app store. But in any event, their phones are still locked.

For the past two days the notification light hasn't turned off no matter what I do. I used the Light Flow app to figure out the problem, I turned of the led notification light in settings, I've been installed a new ROM and bootloader with a clean install but nothing has worked.

Not only is this a problem but also downloading apps, updates and files in general don't even work without resetting the phone, and ironically notifications now don't even vibrate or make any noise, which I think has to do with the constant light blinking. On a side note Google Play Services doesn't function or sync properly.
