[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adetogni:
Well, apart from GSAM I have no "battery monitor crap". I am a fairly experienced user: generally I root phones and used do install custom roms (but not - yet - on the note 4), I use Greenify, LLama and Tasker, Titanium with remote load of files...I am a computer programmer so I can say that I know this stuff. No bloatware should impact as I see stock rom phones with DOUBLE my SOT.

Your SCREAMED suggestion of reading the thread is accepted, but we're talking about 154 pages of the thread. Some people have been more useful suggesting to wipe cache (done,didn't help), to logoff/logon from Google (done, does not seem to have helped) and to wipe phone and start from scratch (NOT yet done, as I consider it as a last resource given the time it takes to reinstall everything, reconfigure stuff and so on).

I am now at 10h 27m 35s with battery with 52% (estimated 11 hours). SOT of 1h 44m. If we double that 1h 44 since we are at 52% of battery, I am still at 3h 30m. I've done mostly ordinary stuff with the phone (for example I have not used games or things like Waze who sucks battery a lot).

I think I'm going to make a call to the service center as seeing people with UP TO 11 hours make me think I have a defective unit or, worse, a defective battery.

thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrymr:
Pretty much same problems here. Screen off at night for like 10 hours lost 12% of battery (wifi, sync, bluetooth or) And when I get things to do... I can't get more than 3 hours on screen... I tried everything possible without root and outside using battery saver, but at best 3 hours 30 minutes screen time.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
so you just wasted all your time writing that newspaper but u didnt read the thread i suggested you? great brother, do w.e u want with ur life, return ur phone and just get a Iphone 6+ or something else, you do not belong to this community, i tried to help you and watch ur comeback, the do it by yourself, im happy with my phone and results over a day of usage and 5 to 6 hrs SOT. You have a nice day sir.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
i lost 3% in 9.5 hrs on standby, and if u asked me how im getting this results read 2 or 3 post above, ive suggested a thread that is very useful, but alot of users dont want to read, they just want the magic to happen, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
if you analyze i could had more than just 5hrs SOT, but i was at work i just used my phone to text, i played Racing rivals, fb, ig, just the regular apps, instead of 1.5 day i could had 1 day and about 6+hr SOT, this phone is capable of this and much more, its just the software, but like i stated before i had done a couple of changes and these are the results, cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adetogni:
Wow.

First, an apology, I have not read that thread, my fault in thinking you were referring to another one, so my sincere apologies.

Secondarily, that thread talks about disabling services, and it can be done on rooted phones only. My phone is not rooted, and I see not rooted phones lasting twice my sot. So it's not mainly am issue with services (albeit I understand it may give you some extra juice).

However you can save the sarcasm for someone else: "get an iphone", "you don't belong to this community". Seriously, go and be this aggressive in real life, behind the screen is too easy, "bro".

Hi all,

As to this stock lollipop firmware from Sony, have they allowed apps to write to sd card without root?

If not, I will stick to stock android 4.3.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] theinspector:
Just went ahead and tested for you, I tried moving files to external SD card and I have two apps installed on the external SD card. Works fine.

Because we cant moving apps to sdcard.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackD3ath:
I had no problems moving apps to sd... You are doing it wrong... No root necessary
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] manigma:
I am still on 4.4.4 with root and LB as I dont want to upgrade to lollipop and lose root+x reality. The update detail says "move apps to sd card" so I guess we can only move apps. :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
Yes, I believe you can move some apps to SD card ? . I believe it mentions this on Sony Xperia™ support site.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jayarajsea:
You can move apps to SD cards. But they don't support to write access to SD cards for files . Using third party apps.

example :DuKto, Share it , etc
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kyr0x:
So it still has the same problem as 4.4, damn it, why would they do that... I guess I'll wait for an easy and tested root method before upgrading then.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eumanoid:
this is true. although some apps have workarounds (ex. x-plore), a lot of apps still can't write to sd with lollipop 5.0.2 on xperia.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] KostasK9:
Hello,

A friend gave me a retail Samsung Galaxy A5 from a shop and i wanted to know if there is any possible way to make it a regular phone.

Everything's working actually except from the fact that it doesnt recognise any Sim Card and the Call app "that Green Phone image" that any android has it's missing.

So ita can be used as a "tablet" but not as a phone.

I tried routing the phone but it didnt worked.

Any ideas?

Will flashing a custom ROM solve the issue?

If so can you please give me the steps in doing so.....

Thank you.

Hello everyone. My friend ask me to reset her phone because she forgot the pattern lock, after a few tries the phone reboot (wasn't is suppose to ask gmail acc?).

So i tried to factory reset, clear cache, clear eMMC. But nothing succeed. The thing is after I factory reset, the phone boot up the same pattern lock and the same background image seems like the factory reset doesn't work. I tries SP flash tool to flash to original firmware but the SP flash tool come up with some error.

Anyone got same problem with me? Please kindly solve my problem. Thanks. Sorry for my bad english.
[Lenovo A850] irfanadli97:
Ever tried removing the SD card while factory reset? Honestly, there is something that prevents phone from factory reset, and I assume it is a system level (I don't know, maybe the ROM itself). I suggest factory reset via ADB and get it flashed stock ROM, anywhere possible.

hello,

i've done a nandroid backup of my phone, copied it to my pc and did a factory reset and installed a new rom.

went all fine ..

the backup was like 4gb big, but now its like 23gb big and i dont know how the hell that happened ?!?

i can't copy it back to my phone .. what happened?

i mean, the logfile is 2gb big .. what the hell :( .. seems my backup is like gone.. ohman :(

[IMG="twrp_corrupt_backup"]http://www.pichost.de/images/2015/04/14/CcfkZ.jpg[/IMG]

damn it seems i've lost my backup.

i even did a adb backup .. which is only 1gb. didnt know it wasnt a full backup allthough it was stated in that guide.

(i can't remember if i've used the full command line (adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all) or not. i hope i've copied/pasted it completly)

[IMG="titan_adb_guide"]http://www.pichost.de/images/2015/04/14/GImf1.jpg[/IMG]

the data files of that twrp backup is still intact, the system files aren't. seems ive lost all that.

great.. and i dont know how it happened .. just copied it to my pc .. great :(

update1: i do have alot of important files like contacts, sms/mms, whatsapp, and all that. how do i migrate it from the old twrp backup "data" file to my phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Is where it all went wrong, if it's that important then verify the md5 after copying.

Try titanium backup, which can extract data from nandroid -don't know about corrupt files though.

i've managed to restore some stuff from the .ab file ..

i can't get whatsapp to run again. it won't load the old db/pref files.

besides that, copying the db files f rom mms/sms and contacts crashes the phone.

anyone knows why?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuraigu:
ok, i've managed to get my contacts and mms and stuff back..

i can't get whatsapp running again. probably due to a different android_id ?? ..

i've got my old id back, the one i had for ages. but i dont know if whatsapp also registers the imei and mac stuff

to/with a phone.

my problem is that the cellphone number is gone. whatsapp did still work cuz it was registered to the phone.

i can't register it anymore to the old number. does anyone know a workaround or something, or does anyone

know what whatsapp is binded to?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koocha:
HI all

So I downloaded the OTA, flashed it with TWRP which was fine, then it rebooted.

Because it was encrypted it asked me to enter the password. Then it asked me again...

"Decryption unsuccessful - the password yo entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you setup your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore and data that was backed up to your Google account"

One button - RESET PHONE

I press it and it tried to go into TWRP but appears to be in some kind of bootloop.

I can get into Fastboot but ADB DEVICES doesn't show a phone.

I can get into recovery (vol down + power) and the data appears to decrypt properly - all my files are there.

I'm trying a restore now. I'll update the thread when It's done.

Any suggestions on how to install the OTA? (assuming this works properly)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Adb devices will never return anything in fastboot because adb doesn't work in fastboot, only fastboot commands work in fastboot mode. Report back with any further information.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koocha:
Ah right, that makes sense!

Backup restore failed. I can mount data via TWRP so I can pull the files off my phone to my computer, so I guess I'll do that then wipe it and flash it all again
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Sounds like a good idea to me.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendodge:
I am experiencing exactly the same thing. I can see the device in fastboot, but was unable to get the device into recovery until just now. It seems that holding Power+Volume Down during the TWRP bootloop will shut the phone off after several loops. Then I held Power+Volume Up to get into fastboot, but I can't seem to repeat it. After rebooting via fastboot command, I got back to the "Data corrupt" message. Holding the power button on that screen instead of touching Reset gave me a power menu. It properly shut down, and then I was able to Power+Volume Down into recovery.

Does anyone think I have a realistic chance of installing the previous CM11 over top of the botched CM12 to get back to a working phone without having to re-install all my apps? I don't know enough about Android upgrade processes to know if this is even a little bit feasable.

I registered my index (right hand) with the fingerprint sensor .. So now i can unlock the device with my right hand ..

But what if i wanted to unlock it with my left hand ? so i registered my index (left hand).. Couldnt unlock the device !

I tried another finger from my right hand (the middle one).. after the registration, it worked like charm .. My right index and middle finger can simultaneously unlock the fone but not my left index.. even though the fingerprint is registered..

Am i missing something in the settings ? Does the unlock feature work on 1 hand? for security issues ?

Because I cross the US-Mexico border mostly everyday, I have to manually select the network from T-Mobile, to the Mexican carrier Movistar several times per day (and viceversa).

The process of manually registering is a PAIN. I have to follow these steps: Apps > Settings > More networks > Mobile Netwoks > Network Operators > Default setup > Manual, then wait 40+ seconds to get the list of available carriers, and then select the one I need.

Is there a way to have the T-Mobile and Movistar network profiles saved so that I can manually register without having to search for networks first?
