[Samsung Gear S] krumbs:
My Gear S was bought in India, but is currently running the BOC1 UK version without any issues. Can I install the BOF2 Korea update, listed in another thread on this subforum? Will everything - especially the phone part of the watch - continue working?
[Samsung Gear S] aljo00:
I also asked the same question 2 weeks ago....no reply so far.... :(
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
I wouldn't risk installing the Korean update. I read a lot about this watch when it first launched in Korea and people were eager to get them, so imported them - only to find some stuff didn't work properly with their SIM cards/carriers and GPS. Reports of what's new in these updates is sketchy too, so as tempting as it is, do you really want to risk having more issues?
[Samsung Gear S] dragon1022:
Does anyone have the last firmware for Sprint version? I need to reflash.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
After having run 'Better Battery Stats' for several days and after several recharges, these were the following apps causing battery drain. This includes partial wakeups, Alarms, network use and processes.

The top apps for biggest battery loss were:

Whatsapp

Beautiful Widgets

Firefox

Swiftkey Keyboard

Gmail

Life 360

Other apps causing slight to moderate battery drain:

Google Play Store/Services

Album

Battery Doctor

Devices

DS Battery Saver

Handset SMS

Power Amp

Surf Easy

Talkray

Despite force closing the apps, they keep re-opening even though the internet is not running and the phone is supposed to be asleep...

Greenify is even running 24/7 but doesn't seem to help with the above apps. Hibernating all the above apps seem to make little to no difference and high battery usage is still an issue...

On screen time is just 2 hours 36 minutes and battery is at 23% and draining very fast with no use at all.

Any other way to stop the above apps from draining so much battery?

I've tried many different roms, kernals and apps but battery drain is an issue regardless...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Just come back from lunch. Battery is now 17%

Why has it dropped from 23% to 17% over a 2 hour period? The phone has not even been touched since I left it in the office...

Is it possible I have a defective battery or would it be due to bad apps?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andre Verissimo:
Hi.

I'm using Stock ROM (4.4.4). I have more than a hundred of apps installed and my battery time is more than 5 hours with heavy use (screen on). I can't even imagine how many days the battery could work with the screen off.

Is the weak battery mode activated? Is Stamina on? Have you checked your battery details on the config panel? And what about the internet use? Is auto-synch off or at least are you scheduling when the apps can download background data? What about the system statistics about background data?

Are the GPS and bluetooth off when you're not using them? Please also remember wifi use way less battery than other mobile connections; that battery goes away faster with more brightness on the screen; and that you can get some more minutes if you let the auto-rotate off.

Have you checked if some app is preventing the "deep sleep" state?

If I was on your shoes, I'd uninstall all the 3rd-party battery utilities (even Greenify!) and I'd restart my Z Ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
^ Thanks for the reply Andre Verissimo. I too have 4.4.4 stock rom and only around 25 apps installed...

Stamina mode (power saving mode) is on 24/7 and brightness is set to around 50%.

I never use GPS/Satellite, bluetooth or data/mobile connection...

Auto sync and backround data are disabled...

I did track apps causing high usage. They were whatsApp, Firefox, Google Play, Battery Doctor & DS Battery Saver.

I'll try uninstalling several apps and see if it helps...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Seems I finally solved the battery leak issue.

I prevented bad apps from auto starting as well as to close once the phone has been put to sleep.

In other words, the battery will only be drained when in use. However, the phone appears to be in deep sleep since I manually set 'Battery Doctor' to kill/close apps when not in use as well as stop them from auto starting...

Only the battery draining apps have been selected to do so...

My phone has been on for 24 hours hours and my battery is still 85%

I will monitor battery usage over the next couple of days and report back with any update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Regarding Beautiful Widgets: Are you talking about the free version or the paid one?

I am on the paid one (Pro) and it shows up as 0.3% on GSAM Battery Monitor. If you have experienced drain on that version, I will look for a different clock widget then (i.e. that it actually drains noticeably but in such a way that it doesn't show up as such).

I have the impression that the free version of Beautiful Widgets could be a drainer since it seems to be very happy to push a lot of ads and stuff.

Will try Battery Doctor and compare with Greenify.

Edit: I think Greenify is working properly on my device, i.e. it hibernates the apps properly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
your network signal greatly affects your battery and that will not show up on your battery usage stats
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
I'm on the paid version of Beautiful Widgets. The app has only affected my Processes. Usage is 9% . However, there are no alarms or wakeups from the app since I disabled them both using per app hacking...

I will search for an alternative to Greenify to hibernate apps. Only 3-4 apps are opening despite force closing and even preventing startup, alarms and wakeups...

Regardless of what I do, the following apps continue to run and launch even when not opened:

Photo Analyzer software

Mirror Link System

Devices

WhatsApp

Xperia extension for throw

Sweep Panorama

Creative effects

Camera

Albums

Screen Mirroring

How can I prevent the above apps from automatically launching and running? I blocked all listed programs from launching using both Battery Doctor & per app hacking yet they still re-open and run...

Very true. Where I work, reception is VERY poor since I'm in a large factory high up...

Hi All,

For anyone else having the same problem as me with WM6 and Hands Free Profile on their expensive car kit, i've dug around and found this works a treat.

http://www.jetwaremobile.com/

Now I can get caller info, initiate hands free voice calling and handle the calls from my car kit rather than having to look at my phone while driving

Unfortunately not free, but at $14.99 its cheaper and easier than buying another handset that does have HFP.

I did see that WM6 Business edt may have HFP enabled by default, but every rom i've tried so far didn't, so this is a good stop gap.

[Android Apps and Games] SergioGames:
It's nice. I like NES games and all that looks like NES games. But, it seems to me, I noticed one problem. When "Mario" dropped to monster, monster sometimes could kill him. May need to modify the collision detection region? For example, if it a circle, then better use the rectangle?
[Android Apps and Games] FirstForFun:
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. It's a rectangle at the moment, the thing is the player has to be completely above the enemy in order to kill it. For example, it can't be 3/4 above the enemy, if that makes sense. Otherwise it'll be too easy lol. Thanks for your feedback!

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] roettger:
Hi all,

this is about getting Cyanogenmod 11 installed on a LG L7II (P710).

Why should I do so?

* If you upgraded your phone to the stock 4.4.2 roms, then GPS is severly broken.

* If you use the stock rom, the google apps do use a lot of memory so that system performance is just awful.

I've been loosely following some other threads here on XDA how to solve the above problems. As a result I have written up a precise summary specifically taylored to the LG L7II and CM11.

The summary is currently on my external site. Since I am a newbie to this forum, I cannot yet post external links. So here is how to navigate to it: Goto open-terrain.org and enter "CM11" in the search box. First hit is the summary.

I hope it will be useful for others struggling with the stock 4.4.2 roms.

Cheers,

Stefan

PS: When I have time I will put the external description here.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
In stock 4.4.2 check system/etc/gps.conf...
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] roettger:
Yes, I would have loved to fix the system gps setup, but to do so a rooted device is necessry. On my LG L7II 4.4.2, however, I did not find any exploit that was acutally working as proposed.

So the only option I found was to use the LGFlashTool and flash a completely new rom. When flashing a new rom anyway, it is best to not flash a modified stock 4.1.2 or 4.4.2 rom, since those do not play well with memory and make the system awfully slow - at least compared to the CM11 system I choose to flash.

The main reason is the number of google services and non-removable gapps installed, so that the free memory is very low - in the low 200 MBs. This leads to a complete wipe of the launcher when a new app is started. Switching forth and back between the launcher and gmaps, for example, took an endless minute on my system at the end (I remember that is was much faster with the initial versions of the google apps, which came shipped with the stock rom).

So to sum up: Do not upgrade your LG L7II to the stock 4.4.2 roms. Stay with 4.1.2 or flash CM11 for a much better experience.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
Since I have tried almost everything you could to try to P710 (published, unpublished, from different sources, including my own efforts/mods), I agree that for now the fastest fw for our device is stock JB 4.1.2.

But, CM11 and KK4.4.2 is by performances equal. You must don't look on that performances on fresh install, you must try them in real world, with all added software you use every day. Of course, I didn't talk about stock 4.4.2 out of the box, you must uninstall bloatware, and fine tune it. I don't see problem with installing prepared rootable kdz, it is easy for every noob. So CM11, imo is not significantly better experience, but it is different, and that is nice.

And if you have time, you can try Christi's CM10 ( http://xdaforums.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-10-l7-ii-t3048672 ). This is early release, with some problems, but this is also rom we all waiting for, try and see.

For the end, 4.4.2 is not so desperatly bad, if you like KK features, but need some workaround to get what you need. I use it half year...

BR
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Digdis:
I can say that when I upgraded my P714 to CM11, GPS could hardly get a fix. Installing FasterGPS helped a bit, but I still couldn't get fixes most of the time. Very frustrating when you use Waze for instance. I don't recall having such problems with Stock 4.4.2. Anyway when reverting to Stock (Purified) 4.1.2, GPS came back to normal (and many other problems were solved, mainly the device performance and stability).
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] roettger:
I did a quick test: I've got a new untouched stock 4.4.2 LGL7II and an old one with CM11 (former 4.1.2). I put those two onto the sill and let GPS run for a quite a while. They both had trouble to get a fix in the first place. Eventually the CM11 found a fix with 7 satellites and about 12m resolution which is about what I would expect for the conditions. The stock 4.4.2 found a fix with even 8 satellites but still reported an accuracy of no more than 70meters no matter how many satellites it found.

I mean, the GPS module of the LG L7II is not one of the most renowned ones, but showing 70m accuracy while the other one reports 10m under the same conditions is not what I expected. There must be a software or setup problem with 4.4.2. The actual position was identical to the CM11, but the accuracy appears to be bogus. Could it be that the hardware is working well in principle, just the accuracy is reported wrong due to a software bug?

In comparison to 4.1.2 the CM11 may appear to find a fix slower, but in my experience the accuracy is about the same as with 4.1.2. And I occasionally had the 4.1.2 search for 15 minutes to get a fix. It also had a "bad-hair-day" in Sardinia, when it searched for more than half an hour under pretty good conditions. Afterwards it reported an altitude of -3000m. If you really are into outdoors there are better options, but it is still a nice cheap device to play around.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Digdis:
What can I say, what I experienced was the opposite. Same device, same conditions, only difference was the ROM.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] roettger:
After quite some testing with my two devices, I conclude that the GPS module of the LG L7II in general is flawed, at least on my older one and to some extent on my newer one. With CM11 the problems persist and unfortunately I cannot tell whether or not they are caused by the GPS module, a particular rom or model number/age. Probably the entire package. The GPS module occasionally is experiencing severe startup problems even under optimal conditions both with CM11 and with 4.4.2. My older device with CM11 sometimes sits there for 15 minutes doing nothing other than reporting 10 satellites but not getting a single fix. Next day it gets a fix on the same location in a couple of seconds. My newer device with 4.4.2 does not behave much different, but on average it shows 1 or 2 satellites more. Whatever reason there might be for it.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Digdis:
Right. Your experience with CM11 (showing many satellites, but not getting a fix) is exactly what I had in this ROM. Right now with 4.1.2, I have momentary losses of satellite reception when driving, but overall experience is OK. I agree that there are other devices with better GPS modules.

please any one can help me or can give me advice on xposed framework for my low end android that's spice mi510 armv7 quadcore mtk6589 there is no cwm or twrp for or any custom rom but after seeing that it can cause boot loop then scared if someone can post a custom recovery for it and how to flash it for a nandroid backup through it for next step that's xpoosed i would be greatly helpful for him
[Xposed General] makgun:
I am NOT a developer but if you are using mtk devices you can root ur device any root method like KINGO and then you can back up your phone's EFS and boot and recovery files from /dev/block or /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name(recommended backup all imgs). After install xposed you can stuck on bootloop but is not important if you have offical firmware. (BackUp your all data). İf you dont have any offical firmware for your phone you can try custom recovery for mtk devices

Short tutorial:

1)install any terminal emulator from play or any site.

2)get root (typing "su" without quotes)

3)flash new recovery img ("dd if=/sdcard/DOWLOADED_recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" again without quotes)

4)test your img if worked. If not, reboot your system and use stock (backedup_recovery.img) (dd if=/sdcard/BACKEDUP_recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery)

Search on google for mtk recovery imgs. My sister has mtk devices so I know that mtk has custom recovery. (at least gionee elife e3 or in our country it is called Discovery has TWRP)

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------

look at this for some imgs.
[Xposed General] makgun:
I forgot to write backup command.

You can again use dd. Like dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p21.img

Great ROM!

Beautiful ROM man, I'll be following the development. I'll test out a couple of fixes I found from beta testing my ancient Optimus S.

I posted directly to the blog, but I like following on the forums better :D

Quickest install I've ever seen.

No problems on NOOP. No lag that I notice.

One question, for the masses or developer. Any thoughts on how to root this sucker? I did the "sustain root" on CWM, I switched the root access on the settings to ADB and app.

Can't figure out how to get root though. Thrown various APKs at it, everyone gets a blocked install (third party apps is enabled too).

Easy root? and minimal Gapps working

Greetings all,

I tested this app package, it's much smaller than the primary app package. Store is working, no errors thrown up. Yet, I've been running for about 30 minutes now, and installed root checker, again, no errors. 5.0 is tested.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330

Just don't like all the goole news, games, and music crap that comes with a full GAPPS package.

Comes from working on the LG Optimus project.

Also, am I going crazy, or did I just switch a toggle and get root access?

Seriously? No ADB, no chinese programming? Just handed me root access like it was nothing?

Friggin awesome.

Camera Fix

I got the camera to work better.

I had to use

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en

In case this blog block the link, it’s Open Camera by Mark in the play store.

I have working video and pic on the rear camera, and the “selfie” front camera works for picture only. In video mode, It duplicates/tiles video. That’s the only thing.

Other than that, very few problems. Pretty zippy in terms of speed. Course I came from the LG Optimus S, so anything is zippy to me. Noop works good.

Annoying though that it seems to only save nandroid backups to some mysterious "secure" folder. I've looked for it, can't find it. Maybe it's just ROM Manager being a jerk though.
