Actually, you just need play store and services as you can download almost all Google apps from play store.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avishai1b:
I've used many ROMs on my nexus 5 but always had troubles fighting with the battery, (ofc used battery stats properly), fighting bugs (ive tried many betas also..)

and backing up and reinstalling.. you know the stories..

but soon I won't have my PC and I should choose 1 stable ROM and kernel that works together properly... I know its FAQ but it changes everyday, and i would like to hear your recommendations:

the only special feature I use: Call recording (doesn't work on stock)

-Battery stable

-least amount of bugs (stable rom)

Would love to get your offers for stable ROM and Kernel that worked for you.

I will also get STOCK for an answer, tho im using it now and having troubles updating properly without PC have some minor bugs and shutdowns and not completely stable.

and how to FULL BACKUP nexus properly?

thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
1. My favourites: stock 4.4.4 with Xposed, stock 5.0.2 with Xposed and now Cataclysm 5.1.

2. Battery life doesn't depend on kernel, but on your habits and your battery hog apps.

3. I recommend full nandroid backup in TWRP.

4. There isn't such thing like thanks in advance. It is a nonsence. You can't be thankful for something you even didn't get yet. If you are realy thankful for something, say it after, will sound much more honest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 32BitWhore:
Can we take a minute and just appreciate having this ability built-in? Being able to keep my phone topped up by literally just setting it down on my desk is pretty awesome.

Mods please remove if my fanboy is leaking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] theresin:
I ended up getting a Sony battery pack + wireless charger device from Verizon when I got my Edge (no doubt some will know what I'm talking about).

It's definitely chunkier than your typical wireless charging pad, but I get 3+ full phone charges from it before it has to be recharged itself (also has pass-through, so you can still use it to charge your phone while it's plugged in).

Build in wireless charging is definitely a great feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] heffe2001:
This thing?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] theresin:
That's the one (or at least I think it is, there's always the possibility there's a newer model that I have - but it looks/functions the same).

Don't let the negative reviews sway you, a lot of people complain that it's hard to get it to work but I believe that's only because they didn't read the instructions. It states that once you hit the button (to active wireless charging on the pack) you have to place the phone on it pretty quickly - if you don't, it'll start charging and stop after a few seconds. It works just fine through my incipio case and as I mentioned in my above comment I get 3+ charges from it when it's fully charged itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cbdudek:
This is my first time with wireless charging, and I have to say, what a great feature. I now don't charge with the traditional cable unless I am in my car. I have a four 3 coil chargers from RAVPower and CHOE and they are nice. No issues charging at all. I have a friend who has an Incipio Ghost 120 wireless charger and my phone charges without an issue on that as well. Yea, I don't think I am going to go back anytime soon to regular wired charging unless I have to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] theresin:
That's one way to keep the charging port pristine!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] blindside2171:
Just curious to see what the battery life is for everyone who has upgraded to lollipop either by VZW OTA or through JASMINEROM stock 5.0/5.0.1 rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] moin786:
Battery Life is terrible for me on the lollipop 5.0, hardly comes for about 10 hours.

I think we need the next update immediately...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] blindside2171:
1.5 hours off the charger. On the phone for an hour, battery says I only have 7 hours left
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ncsuwolfs:
maybe your issue too?

so im new to the note 3, my boss gave me one which is a huge upgrade over my old razr hd (i do miss unlocked bootloader though). anyways i noticed the phone sucked the battery dead pretty quickly but assumed it was bc of the big screen. one thing annoyed me, it constantly said searching using gps in the notification panel. after doing some searching i found that if i turned off the weather widget on the lockscreen (setting->lockscreen->additional information-> uncheck weather) that it stopped searching for gps all the time, giving me annoying notifications about it every 3 secs and my battery life was greatly improved. hope this helps someone
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Logan3824:
Don't forget to use the app greenify. It can really help with battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] 9646gt:
I personally did a factory restore after the update. I have had over three hours screen on time with little mods like disabling apps/bloat and also disabling things like quick glance and such. I am even using bluetooth with my pebble watch. coming from an LG G2 with a 3000mah battery and smaller screen this is awesome. The lollipop update was terrible on the G2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Banggugyangu:
I went from being 8 hours off charge to completely dead regardless of use pre-LP to ~20 hours with typical use post-LP. Stock battery and no changes made.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] CovXX:
I think i had 12 hours with 8 hours screen on time the other day
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TheCoCo3133:
About the same, 2 days of use with ~8 hours screen time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] danktle:
No problems here

I *was* initially having problems since I kept leaving certain settings on unnecessarily. I like to crank up the brightness when I'm near a charger at home or in the car so that I can easily see the screen and basically ooh-and-ahh myself with a showroom look. Leaving it all the way up all day was curtains for the battery life obviously, and that's just me. People truly mindful of getting mileage out of the battery are no doubt more careful.

What has helped is that I try to be mindful of what settings I have enabled, and have gotten stellar performance after a day or two of receiving the update. I find that it's a matter of making sure WiFi is off if you're not on a network. I keep my screen brightness on "Auto," and can live with the slower performance when in power saving mode. Sucks not having root and UPSM anymore, but I can live since I rarely made it down to 20% battery life before anyway.

Your mileage may vary with the Sync setting since if it has trouble getting signal, it may get stuck in a loop and chew up battery. I don't know if there are any radio issues caused by 5.0, but I haven't noticed a difference in signal - I get as good of coverage as one can ask for in Central Ohio, and this still seems to be true so far. Anyhow, signal "hunting" has always caused the most trouble for battery life for me on several different devices.

Hope this helps...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hobox10:
Battery life on my mom's Note 3 is pathetic on the Lollipop update. She would go a whole day with about 40% left and now it goes from full to dead in 45 minutes. It's GPS causing the issue. She used to leave GPS on at all times on 4.4.4 back when it lasted a whole day to 40%. Now leaving it on causes the sub-1-hour battery life and with it off it still drains faster, the end of the day leaves her with a mere 20%. The 5.1 update definitely needs to be pushed ASAP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ncsuwolfs:
i had same problem, did you try turning off the weather widget on lockscreen off? ( i have a post about it a little bit back in this thread), it fixed my gps battery draining issue
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hobox10:
She wants her weather updates though, it tries to update GPS info literally nonstop so it absolutely kills the battery. I'm going to downgrade her phone back to 4.4.4 for her next time I'm home.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ncsuwolfs:
im 90% sure its the weather widget on the lock screen pinging gps, at least it was for me. i even checked my routers log and it was pinging the weather server nonstop too. i would just deactivate it and download another weather lockscreen widget from the playstore. 5.0 is too smooth to downgrade in my opinion
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hobox10:
Alright I'm having her try that out to see if she can leave GPS on now, however she's told me about her phone saying she has no signal randomly and that phone calls randomly drop. Sounds like the update has a poor radio firmware too. Anyone else have this problem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ncsuwolfs:
i have heard other people complain about those issues,(http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/help/lolipop-dropped-calls-t3095754) but for me my radio seems better, in places were co workers have 3g i have 4g. some people say a factory reset fixes those issues but i cant confirm or deny ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] letsgophillyingeneral:
Noticing poor battery life after upgrading to the Jasmine 5.0 ROM. Upgraded to Jasmine 5.02 and now I'm just deciding on when to wipe data and start from scratch.

The highest battery users were all applications, the Android OS and finally the Screen. I believe this clearly suggests that there's a battery drain bug with some of the app restores that were done after upgrading.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YayNote:
Factory reset..my battery life was considerably better on Lollipop, but I reset immediately after doing the update. Good practice
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
It sucks. .by evening have to charge with light use. .ahhhh
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lieffring:
My battery life is great on jasmine 5.0.2 I'll let at least 5 hours screen time GPS on all day with Med to heavy use
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DLCPhoto:
I was a little reluctant to update my Stock, non-rooted Note 3, but finally gave in.

Before the update, I had a problem with Media consuming the battery disproportionately - my 64gb SD Card had over 20,000 photos from my home collection, and that seemed to create problems. I ended up unmounting the SD Card every morning, and doing that provided exemplary battery life. I hated to give that up.

But I gave in a couple of days ago, and did the update. No factory reset, no cache wipe, no nothing afterwards. I was pleased to find that the Media problem went away completely, and I no longer have to unmount the SD Card. First full day yesterday shows 15 hours since full charge, with 2 hours of screen-time, and about 50% remaining on the battery. And I leave WiFi and BT on all the time, have Google Syncing, GPS on, etc. - no real steps to sacrifice usability to increase battery life. So I'm pretty happy with the latest update.

The cosmetics, to me, leaves something to be desired, but that's something I can overlook.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cappysw10:
Shouldn't have to factory reset to fix battery/radio issues

Bad practice in my opinion, you shouldn't have to as the update should have done this for you.

In my case, it's the radio switching from 1x to 3G to 4G when it used to be solid on the 4.4.4 KitKat. I'm downgrading until there is an update, not 5.0.1 but 5.1. I'm almost done with contract anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dylancam90:
Barely noticeable for me we really need that next update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cappysw10:
Hope may be on the way

Just saw this online so maybe we can expect one in say a few months?

Hi guys, after a whole month of digging here and there I found that we can boot a custom recovery without flashing it provided that we have our kernel's command line.

It can be obtained by typing this command with root access:

[Other Tools & General Discussion] developerno1:
Hi guys.. first of all i'm new to android dev and this forum. so excuse me for any mistake.. The reason im posting here is i had an idea for an app i always felt need about and couldnt find on play store. I call it irevise.

Its a simple notes making app for students(yes there are many) but with a change. A homescreen widget with additional features to make it easy and convenient to revise/memorise the study material. am studying myself and so had started this project.. have got it into a decent app as of now for my use but there are many additional features to be added, and due to lack of time/expertise/funds i may never complete them all.. so came up with the idea of opensource. Ive released it under Apache license 2.0 on sourceforge. sourceforge.net/projects/irevise/

Invite you all to come and develop together to make this into a cool app :)

Am providing brief info below for anyone intrested..

Description

Well we all sweat trying to learn those nasty chemical formulae, or the weird biological names or maybe some antonyms and synonyms.Whatever it is anything which can make us learn our books better is just a boon. And when it happens automatically, its just amazing. This little appdoes exactly that. Now quickly make your own small notes for things you feel are difficult to learn.Save in the tiny I revise app,and add the widget. And it makes the notes available on your home screen so they cross your eyes every time you unlock your phone. And they get changed automatically so you get them all... Simple huh? Yes but very effective!! And with so many exciting features lined up it could end up as a really awesum tool.. So why waiting, lets code it !!

Features

Quick Revision Tool For students

Supports android 2.3+

Homescreen Widget (Auto Updating)

Backup/Restore Notes (to be added )

Share Notes (to be added)

Study Circle (to Be added)

Inviting everyone to work on the features mentioned and any extras which may be useful.. Also haven't been able to publish on play store as my old account was suspended by google(dunno why) and i dont have an additional card.. so apk also available there only...
[Other Tools & General Discussion] developerno1:
its a nice oppurtunity especially for newbies like me to improve our sills, work as a team and get a useful app built in the process.. the biggies can always practice and show off their skills too :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] whodatfever:
I called HTC USA to ask about replacing the screen and was given a price for the work (pretty fair price). I then asked about removing cosmetic blemishes on the unit and was told that they do not really do that. I was willing to pay for it. I find it hard to believe that they don't clean up your unit as I would assume they would want to send it back in tip-top condition and what's to keep the customer from accusing them of damaging it further while in their possession. This sounded wrong. Anyone have any experience with HTC USA or recommendations for cosmetic touch-ups on your Hermes?:confused:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] ShermCraig:
Hi all. I purchased this from Amazon and it arrived yesterday. So far, it's just awesome. Small footprint, feels very sturdy, holds phone securely and allows you to adjust the angle it sits for optimal viewing. I did not notice my S6 Edge getting unusually warm like others have said about other chargers. For the money, I think it's great. Any questions, let me know.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LJKIOSU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] mbarcus:
A few questions for you:

** Are you using a case with your S6 Edge while charging?

** Do you have to move the phone around to find the sweet spot to get it to start charging?

** Does it hold the phone well if you have the charger angled a lot?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] ShermCraig:
Hi. Thus far, I only have a thin plastic screen protector-ish thing on the back of the phone, but I am guessing it won't work with a case on very well - if at all. I imagine it depends on the case in question though. I have not had an issue where I had to find the sweet spot at all. I place it around the middle of the back and it just works!

I do have a case arriving today though, so I will test it out with the case on and report back.

For $25, I am very pleased so far. So many others were upwards of two to three times the cost (although some were cheaper too). Hope this helps.

EDIT: Okay, so my new Kavaj Tokyo case arrived and to my surprise, not only does the charger still hold my phone, it charges it through the case! Now I really love this case!!

[Samsung Gear S] Deusdies:
I got Moto 360 last Friday and I'm already "meh" about it. All it really does is show the notifications and give you the default actions. Gear S looks really sexy and after watching some videos, it seems it can do a lot more. However, there are a few things I can do with my Moto 360 that are very useful to me:

1. While driving/in a meeting, I can text/reply to e.g. my girlfriend. I can say simply "Ok Google, text my girlfriend I'm on my way". Can I do that with Gear S (don't care if it's S Voice)?

2. Can I retain the same functionality from Android wear in terms of notifications? I.e. reply to a text message, dismiss a Hangout message, etc?

2. I use Google Keep for note taking - does tha work on Tizen/Gear S? If not, what are some good Note taking apps?

Thanks a ton!
[Samsung Gear S] SaintCrispin:
1. You can use S Voice and say "Hi Gear" to get it going.

2. If you get the app Gear Notification Extender (GNE) from the Play Store you can reply to and dismiss Hangout messages. GNE also lets Google Maps update to your watch and vibrate every time there is an update. Like when I'm driving and using Maps every time the directions update my Gear S will vibrate and display the new directions on the watch. I find this useful when I'm using my phone to stream music and don't have the maps on the screen at the time. So it's like having a second screen for your phone while your using it.

3. Don't know about note taking as I don't take notes on the Gear S. I saw some note taking apps in the Samsung store tho. It sucks we have to use a separate Samsung store. None of my Google Play credits transfer over.
[Samsung Gear S] Deusdies:
Thanks for the answers. How is S Voice? I've used it only a few times on my Note 4, it seems to take much longer to recognize what I'm saying (e.g. I'd say "weather tomorrow", then wait 3-4 seconds for it to recognize my voice vs. Google that seems to recognize it immediately).

I've heard of this GNE app, hope it works fine. Anyway, I just ordered the Gear S from Amazon and it'll be here tomorrow.
