[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] tvdg7:
Hi all,

Yesterday my Jiayu S3 crashed and rebooted, after setting an alarm clock and using the Spotify app. However, it did not reboot into the OS as usual. It did not even show the Jiayu logo, but the phone vibrated (sign that it's booting), screen turned on, phone turned off again, repeating this cycle over and over (not the traditional bootloop as I know it). I was running a rom based on the original rom, with some slight modifications. This rom was running stable for more than a week. I know my way around Android, and am used to switching roms, flashing etc.

Right away, I checked the following things:

- Battery removal didn't help (I did not forget to put it in again ofcourse ;) )

- Phone doesn't go into it's charging cycle when charger is connected

- I do NOT have access to recovery

- I can, however, access the boot menu (Volume up + power key, options: Normal boot, recovery, fastboot)

- I can get into fastboot mode (haven't tested ADB yet), that's the only thing that's still working

I tried to flash the original firmware using SP flashtool, and I am still able to upload firmware on the phone! I am sure that I'm using the correct ROM, and tried different PC's and drivers. Got a few succesful flashes, but still bootlooping.

I also had the idea that my battery was empty (didn't charge it overnight), and measured the battery at 3.52 V. So it was pretty empty but not that empty that it doesn't boot. In an effort to charge the phone, I left it bootlooping for an hour or so, and later on it turned out that it only drained the battery further, 2.99 V.

I didn't want to kill this battery so I did use 2 other batteries from an old Jiayu G4, which appear to work if you turn them around and hold them against the pins (note: I knew what I was doing here ;) ). After a lot of Googling, and seeing a lot of generic "how to fix any brick" stuff I was not able to revive my phone again.

I still believe (and hope) that the error is on the software side of the phone. All the partitions should be ok and in working order according to SP flashtool.

Now this is where my knowledge stops and where (hopefully) your help comes in. What can be corrupted that I haven't checked yet? Do you guys have any suggestions to revive this "high-end" phone again? Once again, it did not happen because of bad flashing or something like that, it happened randomly when I was using the phone normally. I tried to be as accurate as possible (long story), but if there are any questions I'm happy to answer them.

Any suggestion is welcome!

Thanks in advance.

HI there,

I know nothing about this stuff but i got a rooted phone. I followed the instruction on a YouTube video (never again) but for some reason the RUU gets stuck at 5%. Now I cant go back and its stuck on bootloader. What should i do?

When i go on recover or factory reset the bootloader just comes back up

I tried the uk 02 RUU

The phone is htc one M7

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have tried searching for this problem but the solution i can find needs access to the phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedz:
I'm not familiar with the Window GUI tools but it is possible that your RUU is not compatible with your HBOOT version. Try using an old RUU, possibly a JB (4.2) version.

What's the RUU version you are trying to use anyway?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
His phone is S-ON so he can't use a 4.2 ruu (its a downgrade). He must flash same or higher version ruu as his current firmware. We can't know his firmware version because twrp wiped the os version form the bootloader (blank os-).

If he remember what the firmware version was then he could flash a ruu of the same or higher version (if any) or he could restore same version nandroid backup. I know there is a lollipop RUU for O2 in the general section but not sure if it can be flashed on s-on phone cause it doesn't seem to be an official RUU (combined).

Otherwise he can flash custom roms or even flash custom rom, achieve s-off and then he can use any RUU he wants.

There's nothing in that article that mentions the Developer Edition. That's pretty misleading.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Under the App Power Consumption menu within the Power Management Settings, you can view a list of "consuming apps" that supposedly use data and processing power in the background while the screen is off. I've currently got the following apps listed:

- Groupon

- Facebook Messenger

- Caller ID

- Weather

- Textra

- SnapLock (lockscreen replacement)

- Lux (auto brightness)

- GroupMe (messenger service)

They are listed in what appears to be a random order and none of my searches through the owners manual, xda, or google have told me exactly why these apps are listed OR what to really do about them. When I click on them, my only option is to uninstall them. NONE of them show up in the top 7 items of the battery usage statistics, so are they really "consuming power"?.

What is this list of apps really telling me and what can I do about it without deleting the apps completely? :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] difto:
I can tell you for example that FB messenger often wakes the phone to communicate with Facebook, even if you don't open it. Apps in battery usage are mostly apps you use, which consume even more power. These apps don't consume A LOT of power but they waste power mostly, what you can do is:

- Enable stanima which will prevent those apps from waking up the phone

- Go in data usage and disable "backgroud data" for those apps (which prevent them from connecting the CELLULAR network in the background

- Root and get Greenify and greenify them (which more radical than stanima)

- Uninstall them
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Thank you so much for your response. I think I see what you're saying, but the following example is what causes me so much confusion:

I have Stamina mode enabled and Groupon (like most of the apps I listed in the OP) is NOT included in the white-list, so, it should be restricted from waking the phone or sending any background data while the phone is asleep. Yet, it shows up in the "consuming apps" list just like the two that are white-listed (FB Messenger & Textra). But maybe you're right - since they appear to use so little battery/data, its probably not worth changing anything. I just thought it was weird for them to show up in this list as if they are huge offenders.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
Strange... I use Messenger and LUX, doesn't show up in the list.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Yeah, the list seems really random. I haven't even used groupon since I got this phone! And the apps listed don't really consume much power at all. So what does this list really mean?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyt_Wolf:
Hi everyone.

So as to not create a new thread and seeing this is the most appropriate one related to my question:

My app power consumption lists are empty. Sounds like a good thing right? but I'm running the generic French 5.1.1 firmware on my phone (nit picky since my phone came from France :p) and there should be some apps there regardless.

When I flashed the South African firmware my app power consumption list filled up with stuff that made sense which could drain battery.

To me this seems like a bug (small but still annoying lol). Does anyone else have this issue?

I've already tried a factory reset and I used Flashtool to flash the Firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Yeah, I started this thread and couldn't get the apps in that list to go away until I deleted the data for stamina mode from the app manager. This basically acts like as full wipe but just for stamina mode. Now the list is empty and has remained empty for months.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrakill101:
Hello everyone,

Is it possible to remove ads on an app? (Like editing the app and removing the "ads" part?)

My phone is not rooted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Without the use of an app that was made for just such a thing. The easiest way I can imagine to do something like that, would be to add [the offending] addresses to your /etc/hosts file. But w/o root access, I'm afraid that's about impossible.

Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear. But in truth, [almost] all the apps that are created for ad removal, pretty implement what I've described, above.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allanfd:
Has anyone experienced any security issues with the fingertouch sensor on the new Samsung Galaxy S6?

Any other issues?

Ive read a review where they had experienced a security issue once, and after googled it i found another incident and a guy asking for advice at a android forum regarding both the S6 and edge model.

I am curios because my sensor have problems - to say it nicely - even tough ive tried reset and adding fingerprints differently. I am gonna be testing security this weekend with some friends. Any inputs here would be nice, thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-Sweaty-Wombat:
I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Galaxy S6 fingerprint sensor. I am not having any such issues and I have been on and off my phone all night and all day. You should return your device as soon as possible if you have an issue as it is likely you have a defective model... It happens.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wright_ac:
As much as this might be a really broad topic, I'm new to flashing and trying out new ROM's so some suggestions would be nice for the Nexus 6? Just looking for some honest alternatives to Stock 5.1, wanting to stay on Stock Kernel if possible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Stock kernel is pretty much the worst of them. Or should i say, least improved. If you're not interested in trying custom kernels just yet, use the one that comes with the custom ROMs you try

As for recommendations, what's everyone likes is different. Look in the development forums, read the features and try them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
What [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] said and;

As long as you have a custom recovery and do a nandroid backup of your stable stock build, just try as many roms as you feel like. You don't like it, just restore your backup and bam, 5 minutes your back to exactly where you were. You can even use multirom and boot into different roms. Grab one of the roms from the N6 dev forum and give it a spin, you will never go back! And for what its worth, Benzo is dang good.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
rootSU and jackpollard have already covered the basics. However, I will make a recommendation because I know that's what you want - if you want to try a ROM that comes with a very nice kernel so you will not need to flash a custom kernel, I recommend trying Dirty Unicorns. It is my personal favorite ROM to run with the inline kernel (XDA speak for the kernel that comes with the ROM). As these guys said, when you flash a ROM, it generally comes with a kernel. When you hear people on a particular ROM talk about "stock kernel", they really mean the inline kernel that comes with the ROM, not the stock MTV whatever Google kernel. To get technical, I'm not using "inline kernel" correctly either - that actually means a kernel that's built with a ROM, but I'm not even gonna get into all that. I would recommend Dirty Unicorns if you wish to find a ROM that comes with a stock kernel installed that is absolutely awesome. If you prefer a lighter ROM with a more stock-like kernel, I recommend Chroma. Both are excellent ROMs with great kernels that come with them, and both provide kernels that are easy for a new user to learn to configure. It just depends on what you are looking for - you may end up hating both of those ROMs. Also, any ROM that uses leanKernel as its kernel is a good place to start - find one that has a feature list you like, leanKernel is the best starter kernel there is in my opinion. The best thing about it is it is built well enough to still suit the needs of way more advanced users while not intimidating even the newest of noobs in the slighest. So, play around and find what suits you, bu those are a few recommendations to get you started based on the kernels that come with the ROMs and what you are asking for. I hope it helps you out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wright_ac:
Took the plunge and installed the latest Chroma ROM build, safe to say I'm happier with it than stock!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npjohnson:
Heres a fun note. Most ROMs have yet to make major kernel changes, this means that, as of now, CM, PA, Omni, and most if not all AOSP ROMs boot on the stock kernel.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethk1:
Firstly I've already hard bricked my lg phone twice trying to install a rom on it luckily I was able to get back into stock by writing laf I think it was and enter download mode.

What am I doing wrong? I used the brute force method to install root then I had to launch twrp via file manager which is what I'm thinking caused it to go into fastboot mode.

I'd really like lollipop on my g2 but doesn't look like it'll happen unless theres a for sure to install twrp properly on my phone.

[LG G Watch] boysrkool:
i found this watch for around 80 euro online. i am wondering how it has held up this long for everyone else as the guy i am buying it from said he bought it near the release date or is it worth it to add the extra money and get the g watch r
[LG G Watch] Icefeldt:
Check the hardware specs.

G Watch and G Watch R are nearly identical.

(G Watch R has the Round Display, 10mAh more battery and also a pulse sensor.)

I orderd a G Watch R from Amazon, but sent it back after 2 days.

Was not worth the money (180€).

Now I bought a "used" Lg G Watch for 55€ in excellent condition.

Totally happy with it.
[LG G Watch] Social Studies Wizard:
One thing you left out is the display. The G Watch R has an P OLED display which , IMO, is better for a watch and one reason I would upgrade to it if the dang thing weren't so expensive. (Got my G Watch for $89 at Best Buy with free $50 Play Store credit)
[LG G Watch] randpost:
I bought my G watch for 50USD used. Excellent watch. I like it better than my 360 overall. I wear my 360 to church and thats it. Only thing I miss from the 360 is the ambient light sensor while wearing my G watch. I won't be getting the G Watch R or the the Urbane since the only thing I find useful is the screen upgrade ( brighter, sharper, and better on power consumption). Not worth 300+ IMHO. I will stay with the G Watch till a worthy successor comes out that justifies it's price tag.
[LG G Watch] Meuuks13:
I got my G Watch at $100. I find it totally worth it... It also helps me cheat in exams :P
[LG G Watch] 1001000100100101010010101:
Yes!

Got my LG G Watch for $90 on Swappa. Totally loving it, and it looks really Geeky. I keep a simple Watch-face and people think it's an ordinary watch, but when I tap the screen, people's mind=blown. With the 5.1W update, the battery lasts me 4 days on moderate use, and this is good, since it used to lasts me only for 1 day on 4.4W. I even put a metal strap on it, so it looks really classy. The fact that it has LCD makes outdoor viewing easy, and there is a very little to no chance of screen burn-in. I don't mind charging it because it takes only 45 min. to completely charge. But the part replacement is really costly.

BOTTOM LINE:Yes, totally worth it.
[LG G Watch] jacknicholson:
Just got one last week as an impulse buy. I figured the price was too good not to give Android Wear a shot, and I'm absolutely impressed. Although I did hesitate and nearly purchased the G Watch R, considering both the strengths and limitations of AW at the moment, I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much at all. It buzzes when my messages come in, handles all my voice commands like a champ and the battery sits idle for days when I don't need it. That's pretty much all I expect from the platform, and consider this a pretty good placeholder until some newer generation flies in and actually blows me away.

[LG G Watch] scottx .:
I wish I had gotten a moto 360. Don't waste your money.
[LG G Watch] Vandam500:
Why if you don't mind me asking? AFAIK, the G Watch has better specs then the 360 which relates to faster performance and longer battery life. Aesthetics go, I believe the 360 definitely looks better, has the ambient light sensor and WiFi.
