That's funny, I saw the "real" car chargers, and not 1 has a "built-in" converter or step down transformer from 12V to 5V. All it has is a cigarrette lighter plug and the charging cable like the one I made. Is the converter in the cigarrette lighter plug? I use my homemade charger every day in my truck, and have had no problems. My phone would had fried when I first tested it. If anyone else decides to make their own charger, you're doing this at your own risk. I am not responsible for your stupidity or lack of mechanical skills. I'm just sharing my work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Junner2003:
So, what you are saying is that it was stupid of you to create your own? :rolleyes:

Yes, the original car charger has a down converter within the plug - sooner or later your device will either blow up or your battery will break.

I do not recommend this to anyone! You better keep your original USB data cable and buy you a real car charger for $5.00 (and up).

Going hotdog53's way is saving money on the wrong end ... your WIZ is a bit too expensive for that, isn't it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotdog53:
Come on now, how in the heck can a converter or step down transformer be made inside a plastic cigarrette lighter plug??? Visit Cingular's accessories website for car chargers for 8125 or8525, and click on the view details located at the bottom of the car charger pic. The home charger with the big black plug has a converter to step down 120V. I used the pistol type cigarrette lighter plug. Where can I get 1 for 5 bucks? I'll buy it for a spare.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sledwrecker:
Almost every vehicles electical system runs on a +12V DV Current. A standard cigarete lighter is 12volts. and does not have a transformer. By tying in the usb cable directly to the cars 12V system you are now stuffing massive amounts of electricity into your phone at an unregulated rate. It is highly likely you will burn out sensitive resisters and capaciters in the phone because they are very small and not designed to handle the current. Also charging a battery too fast is bad for it regardless of NmHi, Nicad or Lithiom. If you charge rate "amps" is too high you'll permanently damage battery cells "cook" them. One thing also is that it could actualy draw current from your phone. What I mean is that your phone may plug into the cable and show that it's charging but it's actually draining the battery.

I'd spend the $14 at walmart for the motorola "mini usb style" charger...

Option "b" is to buy a cheap power inverter that converts the current from dc to ac and you will be able to plug in your standard wall charger.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotdog53:
Thanks for this very informative reply. I've used my homemade charger for several days now, and my battery has no problem charging from the home charger. True, the cigarrette lighter is 12V, but the vehicle's voltage regulator controls the amount of voltage that is put into these 12V receptacles. For safety, a fuse would blow before anything drastic happened.

Yeah, but if my truck's Not running, what does the voltage regulator do? NOTHING! Hey everybody who replied and read this thread, I stand corrected and apologize for my sarcasm and knowing all! The protection IS in the plug, and fortunately the pistol plug I used was from another phone car charger. I agree with all the rest...DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN!SORRY EVERYONE!!Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1

Hi!

Does anybody know, if you can actually save energy and battery by using the reduce screen size feature?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BalajiSundar:
I guess u mean to say by adjusting DPI ? Or resolution ? AFAIK no matter what DPI u use the screen is gonna illuminate the same amount of pixels .. U can get better battery life with regards to screen by two ways

1. Black wallpaper/Black themes

2. "Pixel battery saver" an app which works good on amoled displays .

I personally turn off auto brightness , keep it at 50% and use pixel battery saver . I really have a difference of 30 mins to 1 hr of extra battery . cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
Are you talking about where you swipe from the middle edge to the middle and back, and the whole screen shrinks down? This does cover a large portion of the screen in black, efficetively turning it off, and might also reduce the resolution being put out by the GPU, so definitely a potential for battery savings. Who wants to keep their screen size reduced for a few days to test?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmobile:
^ Yep, thats exactly what I mean! Any experiences? Theoretically it should have an positive effect, don't you think?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmobile:
I didn't notice it myself over a short period of time though, I have to admit.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmobile:
Any statistics, how big the effect of a black wallpaper actually is?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
I think theoretically it should work, as it uses an OLED display and more of the screen would be blacked out.

However I'm not sure if anyone who buys a Note 4 would use this mode long enough for it to gain a advantage out of it.

Still sure it would be nice to see some statistics. ^^

Kind regards, Stefan.

Any idea how to fix this? I want my files back :mad:

I also found in recovery menu(volume down+power) under option apply update, where I can check through folders. Folder 0 is main system folder and I have also folder 11, which have same sub-folders as folder 0. Is it possible that this is my previous original folder 0? Is there any chance to rename it from 11 to 0 and 0 to 11?

Any news on the download?
[Xperia Z1 General] ImADev:
I still don't know why people post these. You can download the right one for your phone with XperiFirm.

If you flash the wrong firmware you can effect your baseband and each ROM also has different settings depending on your region. Like some might use "LTE" and some might use "4G". There's also other changes such as if fast dormancy is enabled or disabled, so you really should wait and install the correct ROM for your device.

When you flashed the update thru recovery did you just wipe cache/dalvik cache and then install?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Yeah, I noticed that as well on multiple S6s I looked at. In fact, some are already very scratched from the factory as soon as you take the protective film off (if you can get it off haha).

You use fingernails or some kind of adhesive tape when removed the protective film?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
fingernails but ofc with care, the scratch is on the other side of the removal process so if it were my fingernails it would be on the right side rather than left side scratch.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TransPrime201:
Hi everyone,

I recently have a problem on my (old) TF201. The touch screen works fine, except the right and left edge. When I turn on Developer options and enable 'Show touches' i clearly see that when I move my finger to the right or left it sort of 'snaps' to the edge. So there a small stroke (left and right) that doesn't respond to input. Very frustrating when trying to point out something on the very right or left of the screen

I've opened my TF201 to see it wasn't a loose cable; but everything is in place. No difference.

Anyone an idea?

I did replace the factory ROM with a custom recovery (TWRP) and used

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=6853 to install once a CROMBi-kk ROM for TF300t. Maybe this generates this screen edge fault? If so; how do I revert back to TF201? My TF201 thinks it's a TF300 now.

Thanks for reading this problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halol@free.fr:
Hi,

Same problem here. It looks like it started after installing KatKiss. I was previously using Cyanogenmod without any problem. I thought that this could be caused by the new bootloader, but the problem persisted even after reverting back to the stock BL and ROM.

I even tried to replace the touch screen, no luck.

Have you been able to fix the issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halol@free.fr:
In case somebody else with the same problem finds this post, here is how I fixed the problem

http://xdaforums.com/tran...2#post62361792

Unfortunately this apparently doesn't work for everybody...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] altya:
I tried ur method but may I know which Kernel did u reflash to? U mentioned default kernel so u mean grimlock lite 5.1?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halol@free.fr:
I am not sure exactly which kernel it was. But as I explained, I first installed Androwook AiryBean 2.31.

Then I used the "Androwook airyBean 2.31 Kernel Installer" to reinstall the default Androwook kernel, meaning the default kernel shipped with the kernel installer. That probably not Grimlock lite 5.1... See this page to download the kernel installer (and the Androwook ROM): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2407248

Maybe I should clarify a bit:

1. I completely wiped the tablet and did a clean installation of Androwook, following the instructions to the letter, including the 30 to 60 minutes wait "for the system to cache itself", followed by a restart. At that point, I still had the issue with the screen edges.

2. I then re-installed the kernel, again following the instructions to the letter. After the final reboot, the problem was gone.

3. And I finally re-installed KatKiss (v26). Since then I enjoyed my TF201 without any issues.

The reason why I tried to re-install the default kernel is because of the following quote:

I am not sure that this is what solved the problem, but this is definitely a software issue. And since wiping the tablet multiple time, downgrading to stock and trying various ROMs didn't do anything, this was my last hope. It worked for me, and I hope that it will work for you too...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jan3586:
I can confirm that this is a software issue. After installing the reverse axis kernel of Hairy bean, the unresponsive areas in the touch screen was also reversed! I tried the solution provided above, unfortunately without success. Is it right to assume that everyone got this issue after installing Katkiss version after V26?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halol@free.fr:
I don't think so. I got the problem with an earlier version of KatKiss, and I believe (but may be mistaken) from the research I did in the past that a few people ran into this problem with other custom ROMs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jan3586:
Thanks, are you using ver 2 of the kernel installer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halol@free.fr:
Yes, it was version 2 that I used.
[MX Player] mozillafi:
Step to reproduce the problem

1. Stop a film with power button to turn off the screen

2. Reopen the app

3. The sound is not in sync with picture

It happens only with bluetooth headset. Sometimes, fast backward or fast forward can make the sync problem too.

Work around : switch to hw codex for a moment (so no sound) then switch back to hw+.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rczrider:
I'm not new to rooting, bootloaders, and ROMs, but I am new to the G3. My current phone is a Nexus 4 on Cricket (AT&T), so of course everything ROM related couldn't be easier. I figure the G3 will be "harder" by virtue of it not being a Nexus device. My D850 will be here in a couple of days and I want to hit the ground running with a root and bootloader unlock. After poking around, I thought it would be easier to ask the community where to start and what steps to take.

1.) Root: I see that Stump is no longer supported; will it still work or is it because LG has patched the exploit? If the latter, is there an alternative root method you recommend?

2.) Unlocking the bootloader: I see Bump! Is this a "true" unlock (ie. I can install any AT&T ROM variant) or do I have to use specific Bump ROMs after installing TWRP? Is there any other (better) options?

3.) ROMs: I assume you can only use AT&T ROMs on an AT&T G3 variant (mine's the D850) due to the specific radios. Any known issues with using the D850 on Cricket?

4.) Any thing else I should know about ROMming for the G3? In terms of flexibility, I've been spoiled with the N4, but I'm looking forward to the hardware awesomeness that is the G3!

TIA for any and all responses! I love the XDA community :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrasuper:
1) If the phone comes with KK stump should work, otherwise there are several 1-click root methods like this. (see the AT&T specific forum)

2) Bump is a method to sign ROMs and other "bootable" sections of the phone; Yes they must be bumped. Bumping on L also requires a bit of a hybrid KK-L setup, but the steps are all well documented in the various threads.

3) True

4) Proly not quite as much as the N4 but there should be enough to keep u busy for a while :)

This guy probably saved my phone. I was thinking if flashing a custom rom, I would have ended up with black/white lines on my screen. Dead pixels because of overheating, because of no thermal control.

Someone has to do something about it.

Old LG G2 roms/recoveries need to be marked that they don't have thermal control or download links need to be removed. Since they will break your screen.
