[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubble0123:
Hello,

my new Galaxy S 5 LTE+ (SM-G901F) cellphone is not using HD-Voice. How can I check wheater the HD-Voice function is enabled in my phone and if it is disabled: how can I enable it wthout rooting my phone?

I have Android KitKat V 4.4.4 on my phone and I'm using Telekom Germany (former T-Mobile Germany), which is supporting HD-Voice since any years.

P.S. My old Galaxy S2 don't have any Problems with HD-Voice.

thx

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divvykev:
Hi

Just got my G3 after updating from a Nexus 4.

Impressed so far and happily rooted the beast.

It's the lockscreen I am trying to get sorted. IS there any way of removing the swipe to camera option off the lockscreen? Had a bad experience previously and would just like the knock code. (Ideally would also like the emergency call option gone too)

Have searched but couldn't see anything.

Thanks guys

K
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeslice976:
As far as lockscreen shortcuts - Go to Settings/General/Security/Lock Screen/Shortcuts - now tap the one you want to get rid of, then select Delete Shortcut

As far as the emergency call option - after some quick Googling some users are reporting and option to remove it with Gravitybox or G3 Tweakbox through XPosed, but others report it doesn't work
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divvykev:
Thanks for the reply.

No shortcuts option come up for me in the lock screen tab. I am fully updated to the latest OS LRX21R and V20h

Never been a fan of Xposed for some reason. May try it and give it a go on the LG

Superb phone though. Pleased with it :)

[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
I'm guessing a lot of people on here know this already but I recently discovered how to massively increase my Moto X's battery duration. Namely by switching off Mobile Data, I can then go a full 14 hours only dropping down to around 75% by the end. So now as soon as I get into work or any place where I'm on Wifi I switch off mobile data.

Makes me wonder why having mobile data switched on is expending so much battery power?
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
If you wanna increase that even further, just turn the whole thing off. The battery will last for weeks.
[X 2014 General] rogeriorp:
He actually has a point, there's no point on being sarcastic over a good advice that should be logical by now.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
Yes, turning off (necessary) features saves battery. This is not shocking.
[X 2014 General] rogeriorp:
It is not shocking but somehow people tend to forget the basics. And it is also unnecessary while on wifi, which is the case and the advice he spoke of.

And I'd go even further and set 3G only with wifi, lollipop tends to switch from wifi to LTE by itself very often.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
I've heard of people suggesting switching off wifi when your not using it, but never mobile data. So i just thought it might be a suggestion some people might appreciate. Take it or leave it.

Plus wifi is doing the exact same funtion as mobile data when your connected to it, so your not losing any functionality.

If your rooted you can even get Tasker to do the switch automatically.
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
This actually doesn't work. The data radio goes I to sleep mode when WiFi is on. Its not just doing its own thing while wood is on.
[X 2014 General] kkhadr:
Definitely working on WiFi enhances battery life enormously but didn't try switching off mobile data
[X 2014 General] floepie:
How is this possible? When your wifi radio is connected, the data side is completely disconnected. This is even reported in your 'status'.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
I see your point, but all I know is that it definitely is making a large difference for me.

One theory I attributed it with was that with Wifi and Mobile Data switched on the phone is getting a lot more Wake Locks (perhaps doubling up), which in turn could also possibly be preventing the phone going into a Deep Sleep. But as the Wakelock detector app doesn't work any more (unless your rooted), I can't verify this.
[X 2014 General] instigator008:
Gonna test this out!
[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
The issue with turning off mobile data is that it will cause problems with sending and receiving MMS, you may also have problems with SMS as well.

My HTC Sensation was really good at basically putting the radio to sleep when on Wifi and only waking when needing to send or receive data that will only work over the cell network.
[X 2014 General] lizaSB:
I don't disable mobile data, but I do use tasker to switch to 3G when I'm connected to wifi. The LTE radio uses a lot more battery in poor signal areas (like my apartment) and I have noticed it helps me go from about 3 hours of screen time to 4.5. I think the MMS issues are a good point and I feel like this solution is slightly more elegant because even with mobile data disabled, the phone is still holding an LTE signal. Ymmv, obviously :)
[X 2014 General] unk3:
Hi can you explain whats the settings on tasker to do such a thing? Ive never used it but I have heard good things and just bought the app!
[X 2014 General] lizaSB:
First you'll need root and this plugin (make sure to enable external access in the plugin app)

Basically, create a profile that runs whenever you connect to a network (you can leave it blank for all networks or press the search button to choose just your home network).

The entry task would basically wait 10 seconds and then run the plugin choosing wcdma/gsm (auto) as the network mode. Choose then to add an exit task which simply recalls the plugin and chooses the network mode as LTE, wcdma, gsm. You can even add an extra step to each task at the end which has tasker display a toast that you can have say LTE enabled or 3g mode only
[X 2014 General] floepie:
SMS/MMS are sent via voice channels, not data.
[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
SMS is sent over Voice channels. MMS still requires data.

I double checked and tested this on my Pure Edition on T-Mobile.

Disabled Wifi and Cellular Data

Sent a standard text message, it was received by the other party. Attempted to send a photo message, it was not able to send from my phone as well as the other party did not receive it. Though it did resend when data was enabled.
[X 2014 General] Cabeção-Flu:
Tasker can't turn off mobile data since Lollipop update....

Any sugestions?
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
No one sends MMS messages now (apart from old people), since the advent of Whats app and the like, so its hardly a deal breaker.
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
Troll alert
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
How is that trolling? I am simply pointing out that MMS is dead as a dodo. I must have literally recieved 3 in the last few years and never sent any, I simply refuse as they cannot be used as part of my bundled free messages. People dont send them because networks sting you big time for sending them. Hense why most people use instant messaging apps instead.
[X 2014 General] rogeriorp:
MMS on times of Whatsapp, Facebook messenger and such are way beyond dead; the US is pretty much the only place I see people still using it.

I am only keeping data on while on the street, in case I need to be found.
[X 2014 General] teh_lorax:
Your experience is everyone's experience.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
Anyway back on topic my phone has been on since 05:00 this morning its now 18:00 and my phone is at 66% with moderate use. This is with mobile data switched off. I'm pretty certain with it switched on I'd be on around 30%.

But I'll l test it out the battery duration with it switched on tomorrow.
[X 2014 General] chrisrozon:
MMS is still king in the US, since it's generally offered as unlimited and free on most carrier plans, and doesn't require both users to join and install a third party app.
[X 2014 General] brian10161:
Same in Canada, SMS/MMS is still a big thing. Very few people I speak with use anything else. I am interested in trying this on mine though, but I'm very rarely on WiFi unless its the weekend. Ah well.

Thanks for the heads up.
[X 2014 General] Spiffington:
Data uses a lot of battery because the radio draws a lot of power maintaining a connection - especially in situations where signal is low. If you're in an area with good reception, your standby time should be better than somewhere with poor connection. If you're somewhere with a single bar of connectivity, your phone will work harder to try to maintain an active connection which draws more power.

As you allude to, having a wifi connection that can access the internet will disable the radio connection and generally consume a lot less power since wifi connectivity tends to be no problem for the phone.

So yeah, if you disable data you will generally save a lot of power. This is acknowledged by Google themselves in android 5.0+ with the "battery saver" mode which will by default disable data while the screen is off, and enable it again when the screen is on. The downside is of course that without a wifi or data connection, your apps wont receive push notifications, you'll just be limited to SMS and calls.
[X 2014 General] h3x.ori0n:
*GASP* Gosh darn, that sure is some mighty fine advice. Who ever would have guessed that?:)

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

But seriously, just turn off WiFi, or Bluetooth when you don't need it. There's no point in having a phone if you don't use its data. Or just root it and lower the clock speed to 1.7 GHz. Saves a lot of battery, and still plenty fast.
[X 2014 General] FooBazza:
My battery life increased by just factory resetting, rooting, installing the apps that I actually use, and Greenify'ing apps when not in use
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
This isn't the case for me as I'm still receiving emails, What's app updates and the like.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
Basically your turning your phone into a feature phone.

BTW just to back this up I had mobile data switched on this morning for my commute to work which is approx an hour and 15 mins, my phone went from 100% to 82% with barely any use. My commute is on the underground so I'm guessing my phone was continually trying to connect to 4G. Since I got into work I connected to WiFi and switched mobile data off. I've been here from 07:15 to 12:00 and the battery is at 72%. So in that 4 hours 45 minutes it's dropped 10%. As opposed to 18% in 1 hour 15 minutes with mobile data on.
[X 2014 General] Spiffington:
I dont know what to tell you beyond your phone cant receive data without a data connection. If your cellular data was disabled then you must be connected to wifi otherwise theres no way these apps could function.

You must have a connection to the internet to receieve push notifications - your phone can do this by either cellular connectivity or wifi.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
Ignore that post and read the next post. I edited that post but for some reason it created another reply instead of changing the original. Stupid phone!
[X 2014 General] JohNNyum:
For what I understood on the past years is even when on a WiFi network, your phone keep the track of which Data connection it does have with your carrier...

Lets say you're at your place, where you have a very good WiFi signal, with the Data ON, you'll notice the data icon turn gray but will keep informing you which quality/ signal it does have, if 4G, 3G, Edge, etc.... I understand that even not using it to transfer any data, the mobile still catching it's signal, in order to quickly switch from WiFi to your Data network.

It is been 2 years already that I switch on and off both WiFi and Data when I arrive at home/office.

When at home/office WiFi on Data off

When on the street, Data on and WiFi off. I switch WiFi on only when I'm going to make use of any app that requires GPS precision. But I guess there is something on Kitkat that make it no longer necessary, but I'm unsure...

Battery life is so far so good, on my Moto X 2014 it is lasting more than usual 15 hours, I do charge my phone once per day, from 18% to 95% or something, I don't push 100% frequently neither let it drop down 20%, 10% is the maximum....
[X 2014 General] Pyrazol:
I recently tried turning off data while at work (and in Wi-Fi range) and have not noticed any increased battery life whatsoever.
[X 2014 General] Bl4ckX:
This is correct but even with mobile data off it will still switch between networks just to give you the best call quality possible. As long as your mobile data isn't used it should actually stay the same. However if you turn flight mode on and then activate WiFi afterwards your battery will last quite a bit longer. But as long as you are connected to a mobile network and WiFi data on or off should make no difference.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
Correct! Turning flight mode on and then Wi-Fi is the way to go!:good: That will certainly save a fair bit of battery!
[X 2014 General] Pyrazol:
Has anyone ever turned off some of the Moto features (Moto Display and Attentive Display) and noticed increased battery life?

I started to get a little frustrated with the battery life. Didn't want to turn off Google Now or location services (GPS is off though). So I turned off Moto Display and Attentive Display yesterday and suddenly, my battery life seems to improve. I used to get 2h of SoT max, now I'm at 1,5h SoT and still at 50%. If it continues this way, that should equate to 3h of SoT instead of 2h. An increase of 30% is quite a lot IMHO. Has anyone else tried this and seen similar results? I'm unsure if I'm missing something and this is just a placebo effect... :confused:

I'll continue like this for a few days and then turn the two features back on to see if the battery life drops again.

Would be quite "funny" if Attentive Display was at fault here, since that feature is primarily supposed to help save battery life by turning the display off faster if you're not looking. :D

Maybe the energy needed to have the camera continuously look for your face while the display is on doesn't offset the amount of energy saved by turning the display off faster...

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Check your EFS data.

IMEI # should not read 0

NV data could also be corrupt.

In that case you have to research how to get it back to normal or pay a shop to repair it back for you.

Back to stock .tot or .kdz flash wont fix this problem.

Neither will a factory reset.

Always backup your EFS data especially when your phone is healthy and everything's working normally!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
Actually I was not expecting that the values would be affected by using the hidden menu to fix my network to LTE only. I later changed it to sort of GLOBAL (GSM/WCDMA/LTE) but that didnot fix it.

I then backup my EFS and tinkered with hidden menu and i was successful in bringing back LTE, however, I am stuck with no 3g. I guess I will need to work with QPST and QXDM now. I am now making a second backup with EFS tool.

I just thought it wouldnot go too far that I will need to JTAG it.

Imei is fine. Just need to see NV values and would update!

UPDATE :

Strangely all the NV values are right. I restored my EFS to old state (I have two backups). The LTE is gone again. (this was immediately after LTE and 3g were gone) while flashing other EFS does enable back LTE. So it is all in the hidden menu!

I tinkered with LTE again in hidden menu and it is working again.

1. go in backup tab

3. Select 3 partitions

backup modem, modemst1 and modemst2 and upload it for me so I can try to restore the settings to see if that works.

You will need root and busybox installed.

Thats awesome!

Glad you got it working quickly.

Took me a week with my G2 trying to figure it out since most of the guides didn't fix my problem 100%

It would fix then 3 minutes later I'd lose 3G & 4G again

I had to find a QCN file load that and then work with both QPST and EFS Pro to get it working.

Needed all #s to correct it.

Mine finally fixed when the MEID was corrected as well.

That was weird bc I dont ever remember changing it the first
