[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] saeba:
Given a moderate level of success with faria's WM6 ROM Kitchen, I decided to take the next step and take advantage of the extended ROM so that I could put some .cab files there to install for some apps that didn't work well as ROM packages. And using the detailed document faria put together, I've got this working pretty well.

However, I use a group of programs from SBSH (PocketWeather, PocketBreeze and iLauncher) and all of them run their settings program at the end of the install prompting for changes. This means I can't put these .cab files into the extended ROM (.cab files in the extended ROM must run silently to completion).

I've taken a look at the cabinet file using WinCE Cab Manager and I can't figure out what causes the settings app to run at the end of the install so that I could turn it off. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

You would be looking for a file called setup.dll, get rid of that and try it again!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] saeba:
That did the trick!! Thanks so much :-)!

Being able to build applications as packages into the ROM and put other ones to install automatically via the extended ROM has really cut down the time to go from a hard-reset to a fully working system. I'd guess from 90mins or so to 30mins now. Very useful!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just swapped my moto g for an s3 running 4.3 jellybean. I have no pc to flash recovery. I tried some of those root apks like towelroot and framaroot, no joy though.

I assume with 4.3 a few holes were fixed. I do not know how firmware update goes with samsung, but I was hoping I could downgrade with maybe 4.1.2 firmware which may be rootable with apps like towelroot. Is that possible, to downgrade with firmware on sd card, applying update from stock recovery ? Or only possible wih odin from pc ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No, you need a pc to do any of that -you can't downgrade before firmware EMG4, even with a pc.

Hey Everyone,

I've downloaded Tmo's latest RUU for the M7. I'm only wanting to update the radio. Anyone know how to extract the radio img? I can't believe that noone else is wanting this. I figured it would be up in the radio/bootloader threads but didn't see it. Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
it's not as easy as you think, the RUU extracts to your %temp% folder and theirs is a ROM.zip in it. This ROM.zip holds all the files you need, only problem is it's Encrypted by HTC and you can't open it without installing it. Their a way to decrypt the RUU but I don't know how. I know it's done in Linux

[Galaxy Note 4 General] hajyihia:
hey guys, i have a galaxy s4 for about one and a half year, and i plan to buy a new phone, the thing is, i really like the NOTE 4 design, battery, big screen, but it has some lags, and i like the S6 fresh ui, its smoother than all samsungs, and the style is really nice, i dont know what to get, i know that when the NOTE 5 comes out it will have the S6 ui and the NOTE 4 battery and screen, but i dont know if i should wait or get something now, because if i wanna get the NOTE 5 i have to wait for more than half a year.....i appreciate your advice....THANKS

Ya if you don't mind not having a removable battery or expanding memory cause there is no sd card slot. Don't listen to this guy. Go with the note 4 if you don't wanna wait also lg g3 is a great phone. Depending on what carrier you are on will depend on The development for the phone

I've had all 4 and I cant see myself stopping at the 4 :P
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Note 5

Wait for the Note 5. I had a GS4 from launch day in April 2013 up until the Note 4's launch day where I then got the Note 4, I skipped the S5 and waited the extra months and when I got the Note 4 the wait was worth it:

The battery life

Design

Build quality

SPen

Incredible camera

The best display on a mobile

Etc...

I am now happy with my Note 4, the S6 looks like a super downgrade from it,and will get the Note 5 later this year when I open another contract package for my 2nd line.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hajyihia:
THANKS guys, i dont mind lack of sd-card as long as i get the 64gb version, but the thing that killing the S6 for me is the screen size, its not small but i have a 5 inch screen now so its not much of an upgrade, and the glass at the back is not the best solution if you drop you device once...maybe i'll check the lg G4 when it comes out....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] burnin:
I have a Note 4 (930F) and i would trade for a S6 edge if someone wants! S6 its the most beautiful phonne ever made
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Personally I don't see a major difference between the S6 and Note 4 when it comes to usability other than the fact that the former lacks many of the functions of the latter. Doubt you'd be disappointed with either one. If you prefer VR however I'd suggest waiting for the Note 5 in case it ships with a 4K/UHD screen as the current one isn't sharp enough to eliminate the screen door effect. Highly recommend getting a Gear VR regardless of whichever phone you end up picking.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GTCC:
How is the battery holding up on it? I didn't know they were on sale yet or do you have one from Samsung?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hajyihia:
i do not care about the VR, i want a big screen with smooth ui and good battery, all the time i thought that HTC will come with something special but i was wrong, they used the same device from last year but with a better camera...and lg flex 2 lags a lot with lollipop, its like this year there is no choice but to pick the NOTE 4 if you want a big screen, but i know that samsung is lazy, they wont update the NOTE 4 ui to look like the S6 before the NOTE 5 comes out, and thats an issue...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] theapex:
Note 5, because of design...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hajyihia:
yeah but its too far...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Wally93:
i've had an S2 and wanted to buy the S5 when it got out, i wasnt really amazed by it. Compared to the S4 it had ip67 waterproof, better camera, bit better screen but nothing extraordinary , and its still made of plastic.

I decided to wait it out then i realised the note series existed and i was sold immediatly when i saw the amazing note 4 :) it feels so nice, battery is awesome, screen is awesome, just everything is awesome about it.

If i were you, i'd wait for the note 5 if you can, like you said the nice UI from the s6 will come to N5 too + small upgrades like camera etc and maybe/probably even a note5 dualedge, so why not wait?

I had to buy a new one as my S5 was nearly at the end of it's life, i couldn't trust it anymore but if your s4 works fine, wait it out ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slit:
Okay, so I'm in the same boat. I'm using my gf S3 because my S4 jumped from the shelf (literally) and commited seppuku, thus needing a new phone badly. Can anybody point the pros and cons of the Note 4 vs S6? Thinking of getting the S6 64GB but the lack of SD card and removable battery (as well as glass backpanel) are negatives in my book. Is the performance/no lag and screen quality really improved? Also, Wolfson DAC in exynos is a plus for me, being a musician and listening TONS of music on the go with headphones. Getting the Note 4 exynos isn't an option for me.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] starbuckk:
It's the usual tech dilemma. Buy now or wait for the next big thing. There will always be a "next big thing" just around the corner. Buy now then kick yourself down the road when the presumed and currently unknown N5 comes out. Or suffer phone envy until it comes out. I passed off my S4 for a Note 4 because I wanted an S-pen. Not sorry I did and don't expect I'll be mad at myself for not waiting.

Hi all,

I had been on CM12 for a while and at some point, not sure exactly when, my accelerometer stopped working, it would not autorotate landscape when holding the phone that way, all my photos were saved in the wrong direction etc. I also noticed that autobrightness completely stopped working.

I recently flashed the new stock based rom that is on the android development section thinking it was a AOSP or CM based bug, but I still am unable to get those things to work. It is very frustrating.

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
I just got the OTA update from KitKat to Lollipop (5.0.2) yesterday and I've noticed terrible battery life and very slow charging since then. My phone is always in its charger overnight and when I remove it from the charger in the morning it usually easily lasts until I put it in the charger at night again. During the daytime I do a lot of stuff on it (whatching youtube videos, listen to internet radio, whatsapp, internet browsing, making phonecalls etc).

This morning I removed it from the charger and hardly didn't do anything on it for the first two hours. When I wanted to send a whatsapp, I noticed battery had already fallen to 70% in only 4 hours or so - 4 hours of doing nothing while the phone was in energy savings mode! Half way through the day, with only some whatsapping, battery had fallen to 20%. When I connected it to the charger, it instantly dropped to 8%. After about an hour of charging, it was at 17% and said it would last another 6 hours before the phone would be fully charged. Usually I charge my phone in 1.5 - 2 hours!

When I did the update, I didn't do a factory reset and I would like to only do that as a last resort.

If I look at te battery statistics, I don't see any app using an obscene amount of battery life - the highest being Google Play services with 15%. But what I do notice is that "Cell standby" is responsible for 29% of the battery drainage.

Before I do a factory reset, anyone any tips?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
This is directly from HTC tech support. To recalibrate battery and HTC charger when battery rapidly or erratically discharges, this procedure clears all battery stats, coordinates and normalizes charging.

Turn off Fast Boot in settings. Power off phone.

Plug phone into HTC wall charger and charge for two minutes or more

While charging, hold down volume up+volume down+power button and continue holding

Phone will turn on and off repeatedly every 15 seconds or so while continuing to hold all three buttons

Keep this going for 2 minutes, then release buttons WHEN THE PHONE IS ON

Now, let phone charge fully normally (with phone either on or off--doesn't matter) and battery level reporting, charging and battery life should be normalized.

Do this every month or so to keep power system healthy--even if everything seems fine. Also, don't leave phone on charger overnight for best long term battery life (according to HTC tech support: "The first thing they tell us." This is true even though charging is supposed to turn off when battery is at 100%)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeemenshater:
Battery recalibration ... Many techs say it's a placebo. But, I will follow this manual, just in case.

I do confirm, though, that with L 5.0.2 charging takes longer, phone drains faster with the same as before apps and usage, phone is often hot, and I've started to get regular 'can't charge, your phone uses more power than available from charger'.

Re phone uses more power than available, it happens with all three original HTC chargers I have, so I have to use the charger from an Asus tablet (1.5A output).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
I haven't done the recalibration thing but I did some measurements and I now know why it's charging so slowly, just not what is causing it. The phone isn't switching to high charging mode and keeps charging at around 400mA. This means that when using the phone, it's draining faster than it can charge. I also think it's not switching to standby mode causing the high drain. Often the phone gets hot when it's in my pocket (when it is supposed to be in standby mode) meaning something is still draining the battery fast.

I will do the calibration thing and see if that helps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
I just did the reset thing (holding power + vol up + vol down) for two minutes. It's now charging but I can see it's still not charging in high mode. It's still charging at only 400mA.

Edit: Phone says it wil take 10 hours to charge (it's at 30% now).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Annoying, I know, but I'd factory reset the phone just to make sure the update has 'taken' correctly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeemenshater:
Sounds logical. How did you find it out? Instrumental, or through a phone menu?

I have checked Setings/Power. Mine says Charging on AC, which supposedly means high charging mode.

PS. Again, whatever it might mean, when I get a 'phone uses more power than..' error, I connect the phone to a 1.5A charger (compared to original HTC 1.0A) and it solves the problem. I'm not happy with this solution, though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
There are a few ways I can measure this. I have a "Charger Doctor", one of those inline USB voltage/current meters and I have an "Energy Meter" which measures wattage going out of a 110/220V socket. Both confirm each others measurements. The Charger Doctor says my phone is being charged at 5.1V at 0.4A, and the energy meter says the charger consumes about 2.5W which is about right (the charger looses some energy through heat and the Charger Doctor consumes a bit of energy as well).

But...

To be sure, I tested a few different (but identical) chargers and changing the charger made no difference. But - and here comes the strange part - I tested about 20 different USB cables and with only two my phone charged at 1.0A (which I assume is the M7's max charging current). With all the others it charged with 0.3A-0.5A. Only with those two cables it charges in high charging mode. So apparently something changed in the charger detection. Before the update I was able to charge the phone in high charging mode with other cables as well.

Also, it seems like it's now discharging not as fast as before, but I will be sure tomorrow after it has fully charged and after I've used it all day.

Edit: Yep, charging is at it's normal speed now. It's at 60% and the phone says it will be 1 hour and 1 minute until it's fully charged.

Edit2: Of the two cables it charges at 1.0A with, one is the original charger cable that came with the HTC, and the other is a cable that came with a Duracell Power Bank.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeemenshater:
Well, after the three finger calibration, charging seems faster, and I think battery holds longer (or maybe I want to think it does, because still not sure).

One additional observation is in about 20% cases my phone is stuck during boot until I connect or disconnect the charger for a second. By connecting or disconnecting the charger, something triggers the power state and the phone boots normally.

So yes, you may be right about new power management in Android 5.

(I'm now on IC7.0.0 + ElementalX 20.0, HTC M7 Int'l))
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
Well, even though charging times seem normal now, it is slightly erratic. I can see the percentage making jumps up and sometimes down while charging.

Also, battery life still is very poor. Battery now lasts until halfway through the day while before it would easily last all day...

Is there a way to revert to KitKat? Other than a lot of annoyances I haven't noticed a single advantage using Lollipop.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carinfex:
that wouldn't work for me i don't have fastboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
lol :silly: you cant rule out that it wont work just because HTC decided to remove the software switch in the power options in its later updates, do the rest of it and skip that part, I dont have the option for fastboot either anymore.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlaurence 1234:
Factory reset

I had terrible battery problems after T-Mobile upgraded my HTC One (M7) to Lollipop. The phone was constantly awake and churning with the GPS probing for a signal every few seconds. I'd lose 50% of my battery in a couple of hours. I went through the battery recalibration suggested by HTC support, but it didn't work well. Finally I did the factory reset. It worked perfectly! Now my battery life is better than ever and the phone will go well over 24 hours on a single charge with normal usage. Recovering from the factory reset was easier than I anticipated. Google Play Store remembered and reloaded all my apps automatically. The only headache was having to log in to everything again. Well worth the effort.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
I did a factory reset as well and it looks like it has improved battery life. I'm still on my first day after the reset so I won't be able to really tell after I've used it for a couple of days. But like I said, the hard reset seems to have made a difference.

It has been 15 hours now since I unplugged the phone from the charger and it still has 43% left. But I just noticed a few minutes ago that two energy settings were set different than before the hard reset. Screen brightness was set to auto (when before I had set it to it's first dim setting), and data connection was set to switch off after a long period of inactivity. (while before it was set to always on). I've changed those settings and see if that makes a (big) difference.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
I have Wifi always on.

Tested it for another day and battery life has definitely improved quite a bit but it's still nowhere near what it used to be with KitKat.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carinfex:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_fer:
I'm getting exactly the same problem. :mad:

HTC support said they never heard about such a problem and their conclusion is to send the phone to be repaired

I don't know how to rollback to previous version and it doesn't looks like to be a new fixed version on the way. :(

Or at list I haven't heard about it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy1970:
I also noticed it doesn't make much of a difference if I turn on energy savings mode.

With KitKat, my phone would easily last the whole day without energy savings mode. Now with lollipop I have to hook it up to a charger in the evening - even with energy savings mode enabled.

The thing that sucks the most is that my phone drains in alarming rate when playing a game, or listening to online radio or watching youtube videos. 30 minutes and battery drops from 100% to 50%. And the phone gets really, really hot. Before lollipop, it would drain perhaps from 100% to 85% and the phone would not heat up at all.

There are so many annoying bugs/features with lollipop, I'm considering an iPhone for the very first time ever as my next phone. Mind you, I've never been a fan of Apple stuff. But Android is just getting ridiculously bloated and simply doesn't work very well anymore. It looks like every update makes my phone less usable. And I hate the fact Google thinks it's perfectly fine to disable/remove stuff that people have come to depend on. Like my notes (amongst man other things). Google in all its wisdom has removed the Notes app making all my notes inaccessible. The only way to get my notes back is to install some third party app from the Play Store and have it transfer my notes to the cloud. First of all, I don't want a third party app handling my notes. And I most certainly don't want my notes stored in the cloud. I travel quite a bit and I don't have internet access everywhere I go, making my notes inaccessible again.
