Hi all

Someone can recommend me a rom (eventually and kernel) for have more battery autonomy?

With my use i get 2h screen and not ever arrive at the end of day. Spent charge 2 times a day.

I not interested for gaming, performance, various customizations or benchmark.

I use only whatsapp, sometimes facebook, camera, some calls and sms. Conection data always on (3G/4G), sometimes wifi.

I tried various roms, all are fantastic but i search a rom for have maximum autonomy.

Thanks all and sorry for my english. :)

2h screen time is terrible. Have you tried any common battery saving methods?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeisenbergBB:
[MENTION=6129619][NUMINIT][/MENTION] i have tired some tools (greenify, for example), brightness auto and at minimum. Always closed all applications in background.

i have tired some roms ( including stock rom with stamina mode on), only with miui v6 i have 3h/3.3h screen with my use but for me isn't smooth, i have so much lags.

Can you recommend some applications? or rom kernel etc.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gundal:
Have you ever noticed that your people edge.. isnt ALWAYS there? even get frustrated and not able to get it back? makes it kind of a useless feature when it seems like it's randomly available or not..

Here is a step by step on how to reproduce the bug and cause your people edge to disappear until you toggle the screen on and off. (also found a better workaround)

To reproduce bug:

1. Enable People edge so you can see the grey line on the edge that lets you pull out your 5 contacts.

2. Open Messenging app

3. Pull down your notification drop down (people edge is gone)

4. Flick your notifications back up (oops thats the bug, it didnt come back)

5. Thats it! Your People edge is gone, hit home or go to any other app, and there is no more edge..

To bring it back:

Either turn your toggle your screen power, or

when NOT in the messaging app, pull down the notification drop down.

So far i've only noticed this in messaging, I can see how it would be a feature when its open to hide those, but as soon as you exit out it should bring it back..

Please test this on your rom so we can tell if its S6 Edge wide, or just limited to my carriers release

Hi,

I'm interested in doing a little kernel development in my spare time on the M9. However, the fact that it doesn't have a removable battery is a bit of a concern. Will the unresponsive reboot (power + vol up for 10+ seconds) work even if the kernel is halted/panic'd/dead?

Thanks,

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:
My phone has some issues, it is not bricked or anything. But ever since i rooted and was messing around with different ROMS, my texting has been messed up. Cant send MMS, trouble receiving and sending texts. Receiving texts days later etc. Have tried different ROMS and tried different APN settings, different sms apps. Seems like this happened ever since i went from KitKat to Lollipop. Anyways, i backup my stock ROM which is sense 6 4.4.4 rooted. Once i was on my stock ROM it wanted my phone to update to lollipop. I could not update because i had TWRP recovery. I saw a video online that said i had to switch out TWRP recovery with stock recovery, reflash the update, and then i could switch back to TWRP. Something went wrong and i got a red triangle, so the stock recovery was not the right version or something. I'm real annoyed and tired of this and i would rather just pay someone to fix this for me. I have been working on this for a while and i'm not even that smart when it comes to this stuff like a lot of you guys are. So as of now i do not have a recovery. Phone can boot up and reboot and works fine except for texting. Does anyone know of a place, website that offers a service like this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssantos132:
On the m8, when you boot into the stock recovery, it just shows a little m8 with a red triangle at first. You have to press vol down and power (or vol up and power, I can't remember) for it to show the menu. If it shows that rectangle, you did it right

This is website is a community full of people who can help you for free, don't pay :good:

Redpoint is a great help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
I agree. Redpoint really knows his stuff.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Thanks for the kind words, gents!

To the OP, it looks like you haven't bothered following (or possibly even fully reading) any of the advice I gave you in your other thread (as Mr Hofs linked above).

You don't need a website where you can pay to fix your phone. We'll help you do it for free. You just need to be willing to gain some actual knowledge of how to mod the phone (as opposed to YouTube videos, which just teach you enough to get you into trouble); and be able to follow instructions.

Not only is paying someone to fix your phone completely unnecessary. But its also pretty clear you have (at least a previous) interest in rooting and flashing ROMs. Part of modding these phones, is knowing how to get out of jams and fix issues when they arise (and they inevitably will, no matter how careful or knowledgeable you are). So paying someone to "fix" your phone is just cheating your self of a valuable learning experience, and puts you in no better a situation than you are now, knowledge-wise.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitephlight:
well spoken. paying for services like that on xda goes against everything xda stands for, but no doubt someone will take advantage where there's advantage to be had.

i borked my droid bionic several years ago flashing an ICS preview build- the kind of bork so new that no one had a clear answer. i skipped work 3 days in a row, beasted through Linux boot sequence, partitions, a bit of scripting and surely countless other rabbit holes that im proud to *still* be a tenant of. IMADROID :D

(btw i fixed it) ive never bricked a device again after that experience. TLDR: its not the dev's fault, the phone's fault or bad luck.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Agreed. Some XDA users accept donations. But many of us have provided help to countless folks without asking for a penny. I've even seen a guy on here offer to JTAG phones for free for XDA users.

The OP doesn't even have anything that is really "broken". Just hasn't executed the steps 100% correctly. Easy to fix, and not worth (and not necessary) spending money on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:
Hey guys i'm not trying to offend any of you. When i first got into rooting phones and modding and stuff like that about 3 years ago, it interested me. I wasn't as smart and experienced as any of you guys are, but i knew some of the basics. I thought i was really into computer science and technology and that kind of stuff. So in my first semester of college i decided to major in computer science. I had no idea what i got myself into. That class was so hard and i realized that maybe this type of thing just isn't for me. I got overwhelmed, way beyond stressed, i failed the class, dropped out of college and now i really am not interested in this stuff as much as i used to be. And that's fine. I mean you can't really dislike someone just because they aren't interested in something. I decided to root my phone just because i know rooting and playing with different ROMS isn't too difficult to do. So i rooted my phone and my phone has been messed up ever since. I have no idea what could have happened. I try to end MMS pics and they don't get delivered until 5 hours later, people get duplicate texts i never sent, texts get sent out of order. One time i received 6 texts at once all from different people that i was supposed to receive 2 days before. I cannot have this. If i were to get an important text from work or family and i were to not receive until days later, that would not be good. I am very rusty and i am just not really into this stuff as i used to be. I was never really good with this stuff like you guys. I just liked to customize my phone. And i get so frustrated with this stuff because something always goes wrong. Thats why i just wanted to pay someone to do this for me. I honestly would probably mess something up due to my lack of knowledge and brick my phone. And i'm sure you guys trying to explain this to me would get frustrated too because i'm the definition of a noob and don;t know anything. So sorry again if i offended anyone, i just want my phone fixed, and once it gets fixed (if it gets fixed) i will not be rooting my phone again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Nobody is offended. We are just saying you should post your problem, and someone will help you. Hook your phone up to your PC and get into ADB/fastboot. Issue the command fastboot getvar all and post the readout here. Delete the serial# and IMEI from it as that is personal information.

From your getvar I, or someone else here, should be able to direct you to an RUU that will get you back to stock and wipe your device, enabling you to start over.

I'm not familiar with RUU, i have seen the term thrown around a lot, but i am not familiar with it. Telling you guys i'm a noob lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Here.

That's the RUU and instructions from HTC's US website. You'll want the manual update instructions. The download is at the bottom of the page.

Basically, you download it, hook up your phone to pc, double click the download, and follow the prompts.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:
Do i need S-Off to do this?

Do you know if RUU is potentially dangerous like is there a big risk of bricking my device?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
As mentioned, you didn't offend anyone. We just don't want you wasting money on something we can help you with for free. And a lot of these mods, processes and concepts really aren't that hard. Once you spend some time learning how to get your phone back up and running; you can apply that same knowledge moving forward, and even (to some extent) to future Android devices. So I really do feel that the best way forward is for you to fix the phone yourself with our help; rather than paying someone to do it for you.

You'd be amazed at some of the noobery we put up with. lol, just kidding. :p

Seriously, as long as you are wiling to learn and put in the time, and can follow instructions, we're always willing to help. Its really the main point behind this Q&A, Help forum section.

I personally don't know jack about software development or computer science. Everything I know about smartphones and tablets was gained from XDA, and I don't mind trying to give something back to this community by helping others. And there are plenty of folks here who feel the same way.

This device is pretty hard to brick, especially with s-on. Just be careful about following instructions carefully, and only apply mods that you have been instructed to flash. Don't "experiment' or try to make up your own solutions; and don't try to flash mods intended for another device (and that includes the "CDMA" Sprint and Verizon versions of the M8); and you will almost certainly not brick the phone.

Things go wrong sometimes, that is simply unavoidable and practically inevitable, no matter how much you know. There are simply lots of variables, and lots of things that can go wrong, no matter how well you prepare. But with the proper knowledge, its typically not hard to work your way out of those jams. At most, it just causes some frustration and burns some time. You'll run into the same type of thing if you start tinkering with a PC, its just the nature of the game. But just be patient and diligent, and practically anything can be fixed.

xunholyx has you on the right track. But let us know how it goes, and if you need any more help at all.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

No, you do not need to have s-off to run an RUU intended for your version of the M8. The bootloader does need to be LOCKED or RELOCKED.

The risk of bricking your device with the proper RUU is low. Anything that flashes hboot and the radio has

some

tiny risk of bricking the device; is something goes wrong while writing those partitions. But the risk I'd say is very low.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:
I am willing to learn, so if i do this RUU, this will un-root my phone and my phone will be completely stock? Also i do not have a recovery as of now, will this affect anything?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes, it will return you to stock. And yes you have a recovery. Probably the stock one I would guess. That won't affect anything.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Some do, some just double click the download.

Put your phone into your bootloader first before running the RUU.

It seems to help with some. It says something about that in the instructions on the website.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:
On the website it doesn't tell me to put my phone into bootloafer, i should still do this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Copied and pasted from the link I gave you:

Note : If the ROM update wizard fails to recognize the device, close the wizard and then follow the steps below:

· From a powered off state, hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the device.

· Use the volume buttons to scroll to FASTBOOT and then press the POWER button to select it.

· Connect the device to the PC while in this state and attempt the ROM update again.

To exit FASTBOOT manually, use the volume keys to navigate to REBOOT and press the POWER button to select it.

You don't have to scroll to fastboot, it enters it by default when going to your bootloader. It isn't necessary, but it might save you a step.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:
I got an error message.

I got into fastboot, connected my phone. Started following the prompts, it started updating and i got error message.

I think it means that it's the wrong RUU file. How could that be??

I rebooted my phone and its back on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You must be S-On. You'll need to relock your bootloader.

Hook up to your PC and get into adb/fastboot

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot bootloader

Then try running the RUU again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfreshh330:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes you need to be in fastboot.

adb reboot fastboot

then fastboot devices to make sure you are connected.

If the bootloader already said RELOCKED, that is what you want in order to run RUU. If you were trying to run the command fastboot oem lock when it already said RELOCKED, than it failed due to it already being relocked.

[NFC Hacking] MathewBrack:
Please take a moment to read through this before posting, not only is a brief description of NFC and some of its uses included but also you will find a few of the more commonly asked questions. Over time these will be added to accommodate new or recurring queries that are being seen in this thread. If you have come to the thread to ask about emulating, copying or bypassing your Mifare card head down to the FAQs below .

What Is NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that was built upon Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). It allows for the storage of data without the need for a direct power supply. When a reader such as a NFC enabled phone comes within range (usually an inch or less) data can be read/written from/to the tag.

Objects containing NFC can be found in two varieties, active or passive. Passive devices are ones that contains data but do not read and generally will not have their own power supply. These are found in NFC tags such as those in Credit/Debit cards, Student or ID cards, Library books and passports among many. For a much larger of scannable objects see here. Their are also active devices, these can read information stored on other NFC devices and for the majority of us here these will be our phones. These active devices can also usually alter the data found on tags or transmit/exchange data with other active devices.

Uses for NFC

NFC has many uses both commercial and on a development/hobby level, here are just a few:

Contactless payment

Transfer of data from phone to phone

Share and log on to WI-FI

Sharing contact information

Automating tasks

Storing bitcoin wallets

Disabling alarms

Send Wake-On-Lan commands

FAQs

How can I emulate, copy, edit or bypass my Mifare card (student ID, work ID, Bus pass etc)?

How can I hack my Bus pass, Oyster card etc to add more credit or extend its expiration date?

How can I unlock my Android phone using NFC

How can I make Android trigger an event when I scan an NFC tag?
