[Samsung Gear S] Mexico:
The battery gets charged to 100% using the original power supply and charging cradle. And like I said before, the watch lasts forever when connected via 3G, so it can't be a battery issue. I was thinking it was a bad Gear Manager update, but then a lot of people would be having the same issue.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
There are many reports of BT battery drain after recent Gear Manager update (a month or two ago). Some solved it by re-install the Gear Manager. Not everyone is affected.
[Samsung Gear S] Mexico:
I guess you can count me as one of the affected ones. Reinstalling Gear Manager is not doing diddly squat. :( I ran another test: no apps whatsoever, the only variable being the connection to the phone via Bluetooth. 45% over 5.5 hours during the night, with Do Not Disturb on. Balls...
[Samsung Gear S] BarryH_GEG:
Here's what I've found being with a Gear since V1 was first released. Gear Manager is a PIA and when updates to it or the device occur flaky things can happen. Whenever I update either I always do the following in the order shown:

Unpair the Gear in BT settings so it's no longer a connectable BT device

Hard reset the Gear by long pressing the power button and doing a recovery

In application manager on my phone I go through each Gear-related Samsung and/or third party app installed and delete it making sure the core Gear Manager app is the last uninstalled. Some of the secondary Gear apps come back after they're are installed but get removed with the removal of the core Gear App at the end

Reinstall Gear Manager from Samsung Apps on my phone and go through the whole pairing process again with the Gear being seen by the phone and the phone being seen by the Gear as "virgin."

Even though my G-S was virgin, I set it up enough to take the AT&T update and once it was updated went through all the steps above.

I've had no issues like call forwarding not working, connections are fantastic, and battery life seems reasonable (I've had the G-S less than a week so don't have anything to compare it to). I never had some of the other issues people reported on the Gear I either.
[Samsung Gear S] nktwister:
The main difference I would think between connecting via BT and 3G would be the sync of the notifications - on BT it would be synchronous and trying to get all notifications and on 3G the phone just pushes notifications and possibly the watch is not waiting for them.. maybe check the application list in Gear manager to see if any app could be sending a lot of notifications or continuously running..
[Samsung Gear S] SaintCrispin:
I recently just did a factory reset on both the Gear S and the Note 4. I used to have around 300 apps that would auto download every time I logged into my Google account. I deleted my Google back up so those apps wouldn't download again. I don't have nearly as many apps on both devices and my battery life has improved dramatically. The more apps you have, the more your battery drains. It doesn't matter if its a smartwatch or a phone.
[Samsung Gear S] Mexico:
Thanks for all your suggestions. I had no apps installed on the watch at all, and I only had notifications turned on for texts. Since I had just factory reset the Note Edge, it was also a fresh installation of Gear Manager, and only one Google account set up on the phone - no other apps. So, empty phone, empty watch, and the battery was still draining like crazy when connected via Bluetooth. Then all of a sudden, it fixed itself, without me doing anything. No new version of the Manager, no changing of settings, nothing.

I'm glad it's fixed, but it's bugging me that I have no clue how it got fixed. I've been installing apps on the phone, and everything is still OK. Now I'm going to install apps on the watch, and I have a feeling it'll all be OK with that too. :)
[Samsung Gear S] Ncassam:
I have had the same issue and in fact the battery drains fast if gear s bluetooth is on even without it being connected, I have factory reset it and reinstalled gear manager with almost zero apps connected and still get fast drainage, battery dies in less than 3 hours, no idea what to do next apart from Samsung warranty
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circolocodc10:
Hey Guys

I got my Nexus 6 back of the repair center yesterday.

Then I installed Chroma (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-chroma-01-11-2015-t3000003) on it and everything works like a charm.

BUT: Charging over the Qi Wireless Charging Station does not work anymore.

Is it possible, that a ROM or a Kernel "disables" the Wireless Charging function or is this an issue of the repair center? Probably they "broke" something?

Cheers

Thomas

I just opened it up and unplugged and replugged the charging coil and it works now.. but now I screwed up about 6 of the 22 screws, and it doesn't work again. hmmmmm

Opened it back up, the coil has a pad that connects to the mainboard via a pogo pin style connector, they look like SIM card connector, 4 of them, I pulled them up for more reach, and re aligned the pad to make sure it touches the pins correctly.

Looks all good now!

I have a D6653 bought from HK, but I live in Philippines so I am going to flash it with Philippines market since they are both D6653 so I downloaded this via XperiFirm (see attachment #2)

I am following this guide: xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool

However I am lost in the part of FlashTool and I have to put a branding:(see attachment #1)

in the guide they put "Generic Nordic", what should I put in mine? Also I only intend to flash since I want to change the region to where I currently live, can I still get future updates via OTA/PC Companion for my flashed region (PH) after flashing mine?

[Xposed General] coom:
Volley is an HTTP library that makes networking for Android apps easier and faster.

We need to set the context before sending requests, according to nameless-technology.blogspot.com /2013/11/custom-system-service-using-xposedbridge.html, my testing code was:

public void handleLoadPackage(XC_LoadPackage.LoadPackageParam lpparam) throws Throwable {
...
protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws
Throwable {
...
Context context = (Context) param.getResult();
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
new Response.Listener<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
msgs_g = response;
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
msgs_g = "That didn't work!";
}
});
queue.add(stringRequest);

However, when the module was loading, there's an exception:

[Xposed General] C3C076:
From code you provided it's not clear what method exactly you are hooking. But some remarks, anyway:

- are you sure original method returns context?

- I'm not sure whether using getResult() in before hook is a good practice, as you are basically asking for a return value when method was not executed, yet.

You should try after hook instead
[Xposed General] coom:
[MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION] Thanks for your reply.

I just modified the code from `beforeHookedMethod` to `afterHookedMethod`, at this time, I got nothing in my log.

What I want to hook is the function `dispatchSensorEvent` in the `android.hardware.SystemSensorManager$SensorEventQueue` class. Actually I don't whether this method returns context, thanks for reminding me.

Finally I used `AsyncTask` with `DefaultHttpClient` to get the data from the web site, I still use `beforeHookedMethod`.

Hi guys,

My phone started to give me problem with the headphone jack. I've tested it with different headphones and all have problems. The device basically gives a static background noise when listening to something. It goes away when I move the headphone randomly.

Im rooted with Locked bootloader, Should I flash an official fw before sending it over?

Another question is, what if I get a nandroid backup before. Flash official fw. When I get the phone back can I just re-root again put custom recovery and restore from that backup? In theory it should work right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MightySashiman:
I would advise you do reflash an untempered stock rom.

Technical support, even if they know perfectly well rooting has nothing to do with HW issues, will play dumb and may send it back to you (at your cost) without repair, and may even register a void warranty for your phone's serial number. No point in giving them this opportunity.

I have a canvas a1 with android 5.1 stock rom, build number LMY47O, rooted, unlocked bootloader.. The other day I decided to make a backup of my rom in case my device got bricked or something and I was unable to access recovery..(note: I am not talking about a nandroid backup, I am talking about a mtk droid tools backup...) so I hooked up my device to my pc and started mtk droid tools.. First thing I noticed was that instead of a green box near the device name at lower left corner, it was showing a yellow box, indicating that the program wasn't able to communicate via root shell.. So I clicked the ROOT button(first button on lower right corner), and after some seconds I got a prompt "loss of communication with device. Program will now close".. Also as the program is not able to communicate via root shell, the backup option is greyed out and I am unable to make a backup... My device is properly rooted.. I am able to use apps such as titanium Backup and root checker also shows that it is rooted... Usb debugging is also enabled.. Also adb drivers are also installed(checked with adb devices command)...So I really have no idea why mtk droid tools is unable to gain root access... Plz someone help me out..

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] mayank06199:
Actually I have a 8 gig sd card and about 5 gb is free.. So I think what is happening here is that mtk droid tools is trying to save backup to internal memory because it doesn't detect sd card(only 800 MB free on internal).. Does link2sd partition have anything to do with the card not being detected? Also is there any option in mtk droid tools using which I can choose whether or not backup should be saved on phone? And the backup isn't even created on the pc..

i would say you should install twrp recovery. Then try and install from your sd. Also make sure tou have htc drivers if your wanting to sideload.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
As said above, you should use latest TWRP for the M7. If you want to use adb siedeload make sure you have latest android sdk installed. (adb 1.0.32) but with the latest twrp installed on your phone, you'll not need to sideload. You'll be able to see your phone storage on your computer (like a removable drive) when booted in twrp. Just drag and drop the zip on your phone storage, then in twrp select "install" from the main menu, browse your device memory and find your rom.

1) Determine the package name of the app, e.g. "com.example.someapp". Skip this step if you already know the package name.

adb shell pm list packages

Look through the list of package names on your system and try something with "camera" name

2) Get the full path name of the APK file for the desired package.

adb shell pm path com.example.someapp

The output will look something like this: package:/data/app/com.example.someapp-2.apk
