Hi

Been looking around for battery saving tips, pref tips that don't require heavy tinkering with services. Been using greenify, I'm not rooted (haven't really had a reason for it) Have limited mail/ sync. but I seem to be loosing on average 0.7 % per hour (mostly on standby). ( and mostly on on the infamous "misc") Checked GSam battery monitor, and it's telling me that it's android OS and android system eat the biggest chunks... :(

I'm suspecting that the nvidia controller related services are at least partly to blame, but it's a pain in the a** to keep "forgetting the controller" and killing the service. IT seems to be checking for the controller even when it's off/ out of range.

So I'm looking for any and all tips, specially tips for standby time

cheers lads

Hey , I want to customize my system apps but whenever i open .xml files Like AndroidManifest , layouts etc it didn't open in simple language .

So my question is can anyone tell me how to edit the .xml files...

Any help is really appreciated

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] M@khan #:
First decompile a android app with apktool,after that u can easily edit any .xml file with notepad++ without any language problem.

If u extract an app.apk with winrar,7zip...etc or any android app like esfile explorer,zarchiver....etc then u can't edit .XML file & u face language problem.

So, decompile apk with apktool & then edit .XML files.

How to decompile apk, just Google it.

I recently dropped my XZ and broke the display near the proximity sensor,and now it always thinks that there is something within its range,as a result I can't use the phone while calling.

I googled it and found two solutions of "Hardware Disabler" and "Screen off proximity" or something.but none of them worked.The first one caused bootloop.

now what can I do to disable the proximity?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paduretu Ionut:
Root your phone, install Xposed Framework then install the Disable Proximity Sensor module. Activate it and reboot. I had the same problem, the phone's display would just stay off during call, but it seems the problem resolved itself...

Hello everyone!

Good day!

I'm from the Philippines and I just recently bought a brand new galaxy note 4 SM-910C About a day ago. I was so excited that I did not notice the OS was already 5.0.1. Is this normal? I thought that stock brand new note 4 was in 4.4.4 kitkat version. And on top of that, the antutu benchmark score was between 38000-42000 And a friend of mine has a 52000 rating. I thought that maybe this was a preused phone, rooted, and then returned. And the store sold it back to me as a brand new model.

I need help cause if this phone is ok, I'm not gonna return it since it works fine for me but I'm just bothered that my antutu score is low and that it came with 5.0.1 already.

Thanks and I appreciate all your help.

So you need help because you bough a phone with the latest firmware and in top of that you want to return it cuz it has lower BENCHMARK SCORE...my god... i cant believe what benchmark are doing to people these days and i feel sorry for them...good luck my friend...cheers:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanathos88:
Thanks for the reply... but what I meant to say is that maybe my phone was tampered before I bought it. So I was asking if there is actually a brand new note 4 with preinstalled 5.0.1. Since as far as I know, it initially comes with kitkat and then you'll have to wait for an available update for 5.0.1 or you use a custom rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdomadia:
U.A.E has 5.0.1 so no worries, if you want to check about root or refurbished, install phone info app from Google play store to verify.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanathos88:
Thanks! I downloaded a phone info app and its original and brand new. Now I'm just perplexed why my antutu score is low. But I giuess that does not really matter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladefrost:
Try to rest the phone for a while. Needs to be cooled down before running benchmark to avoid cpu throttling due to heat.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanathos88:
Did that already and I got about 42000 from 38000. I also did a phone info and it said it was original. But how can I really know if it isnt refurbished?

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwoiisc0tty:
first off, thanks for your time and reading this!

I have the Z2 LTE Tablet. it was on a carrier network, EE. I paid sim-unlock £17 so I could get it to all networks.

here's my problem, it's on all networks but the bootloader says "allowed: no" is there nothing I can do??????

I have tried flashing different firmwares etc and different regions (do I always set them up as UK?!) and I've had no luck!

what should I do?!?!?!?!!?!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbojugend:
There is nothing you can do, some you cannot unlock the boot loader, which has nothing to do with getting unlocked.

Mine is the same way, unless someone figures out how to do it unofficially, your boot loader will remain locked.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
I think you're mixing up "unlocking" with "unlocking bootloader"? They're two completely different things, mind you!

Unlocking the bootloader is for installing custom ROMs, such as "Cyanogen Mod".

"unlocking" is to be able to use your phone with other carriers.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] gomek111222:
Hello friends. I have z3 and my wife has note 4 and i have also asus transformer book and a lg optimus g charger which belongs my old phone. I have tested all chargers with ampere software from playstore and my results are:

With note 4 charger (Adaptive fast charger 2,0 A): it gets 1520 mA instantly and constantly from beginning to end.

With asus transformer book charger (2,0 A): it gets 1270 mA instantly and constantly from beginning to end.

With lg optimus g charger (1,2 A): form 900 to 1130 mA ascending

With original sony Z3 charger (1,5 A): 830 to 850 mA ascending

What is the reason of that despite sony has 1,5 A charger, it gives 850 mA? Do you have any charger that is faster than note 4 charger? Please type here your comments about this issue.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Entropy512:
Actual charge rate is:

USB input power - system power consumption

So if the system power consumption is high, the battery current will be reduced.

This is why even though the Z3 has a battery current limit of only 1.5A (0.5C), Quick Charge 2.0 chargers are still beneficial - they'll continue charging the battery even when system power consumption is high. They are also more forgiving of high-loss (long or thin) USB cables due to supplying 9V to the device.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] gomek111222:
thank you for your answer. But which one is the best do you think? which charger should i use.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Entropy512:
Any QC2.0 charger. Any one of them are good. I've got a Tenergy wall charger and a Powermod car charger.

I'd skip the LG G2 and wait until after Google IO. I've used the G2 for the past seven months and then broke the screen. The problem with this is not the replacement it's the digitizer has factory defects which causes the digitizer's to only last so long. The replacement screens are not up to OEM quality. The G2 is a fine device as long as you can find one that is in good condition and not had the screen replaced. In terms of dev, things are going "okay" over in the dev forums. They are working on roms and such but it seems to have slowed down here recently. I'm personally looking forward to the G4 to be released.

Hi guys, is not usual to me write post in this forum by two reasons:

1. Im Spanish and the English is not a language that I use normally and I write like a 3 years old boy...

2. Before start a new post, first i look about the case, but this case is a **** for me.

I installed, Cinema fv5, L camera, and a lot of apps of playstore (and apptoide) and no ones are able to record in slow motion.

The L camera has te option to record, but in nexus 6 cant choose it because is disabled (i think in other model like nexus 5 it works)

Where is the problem?

In build.prop?

In kernel?

Some developer can answer me?

If they are no way to enable the slow motion, I will sell it on ebay..

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriker1:
I have a Samsung Captivate i897 and just put 4.4.4 KitKat on it. Running a bit slow. Not horrible but noticeable. How does OS version 5 work on the Captivate? Guessing slower than KitKat as OS versions usually get more enhanced?

If people had to recommend a particular OS that was the most current you could get without any real loss in performance what would it be? Found 2.3.5 was fine the few minutes I was on it. But that's pretty old. Was originally going to go for 4.2.2 but found an article on 4.4.4 so went straight to it. Curious other's opinions.

Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriker1:
Thanks for the help. Excuse my naiveté with this process, first time upgrading an old Android phone last night. Actually got me more interested in Android devices than I ever was. I installed CM11 nightly and as mentioned with 4.4.4 it was a bit slower than I'd like. What OS gets installed as part of 10.1.3? Is that 4.3? Also as far as "stable", is it very responsive if that's the case?

Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriker1:
Sweet appreciate your input. Is there a good way to backup the contacts and stuff? This is a relatives phone and I think they are getting tired of having to re-enter the contacts every time I try a new OS version. I did have the contacts entered this time as "google sync" contacts, but not sure if that will be accessible in 4.2.2 and a few I entered as local contacts before I knew I couldn't change it to google synced contacts later.

Thanks.

JR
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
The 'google sync' contacts should be accessible from 4.2.2. As a precaution you could also open the contacts app and export contacts to your external sdcard. Then, if 'google sync' does not replace your contacts you could import them from the external card after flashing the replacement ROM.

BTW, I am using GamerzRom 4.0 Legend Edition on my Captivate. It is based on CM 10.1 which is android 4.2.2. It runs well for me. I saw it recommended several times by [MENTION=3856950]BWolf56[/MENTION]. I maintain my Captivate as a backup device to my SGS3. While I do not use it as a phone, I do use it constantly as an mp3player, sports tracking device, etc. I am still able to load new apps and update current apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriker1:
Thanks for the tips and reference to GamerzRom 4.0 Legend Edition. One question unrelated to the nature of the thread. Captivate currently has 4.4.4 installed. When a text message comes in, and has pictures included, which is all that came in so far, it fails to return the message. I can't recall the message as at work now but says it couldn't connect or something. I just know it's a picture as the person who sent it told me they would be texting me with some pictures. Is this something broken in 4.4.4 that may work in 4.2.2? Otherwise may have to go to Samsung default 2.3.5.

Thanks.

JR
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
It could be a couple of things, a few things to check before flashing anything are:

1) Check in settings to ensure that the APN settings are recognized.

2) Make sure your modem is recognized.

3) Check the settings of the messaging app you are using.

4) Make sure data is turned on. On one of my devices I routinely keep data turned off. I will get notified of an incoming MMS with pictures, video, group messages, etc, with a icon to click to download the message. If I try to download the message before turning data on I will get an error message. After that I am unable to download even after turning data on.

On the Captivate you can reflash your modem separate from flashing the entire stock ROM, which I would do before flashing back to stock Gingerbread. If flashing the modem only doesn't work that's when I would flash stock GB 2.3.5.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriker1:
I'm now at 4.2.2. Texting working but sometimes pictures are a bit laggy coming in. Sometimes come in out f order if I send a text then a picture then another text, I'll get two texts and then the picture. But it shows up. I do have one thing that concerns me. When I first upgraded Mobile Network State was Connected, now it's disconnected. Not sure if that's something that happens once you switch from 3G to being connected also to wifi.

JR
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
Some of that may be related to the modem version. I guess you could try another and see if it works better.

As of one of the Jellybean releases, I don't recall which, the network data connection is automatically disabled when you are connected to wifi (IIRC).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriker1:
Been running since last post now. Been working good. Only issue I have is the soft buttons. When unplugged it turns off in the odd setting of 1.6 seconds but when I plug in the charger the soft buttons stay lit up all the time. Can't get them to turn off as long as plugged into the USB port and charging. Thoughts?

Thanks.

JR
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
Mine is turning off after the set time (1.6 sec) when plugged into a wall charger, and when not plugged in. I may have other things on/off different from you that is affecting this; such as notification lights turned off. Also, I haven't tried with the USB cable set into a computer port.
