[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnb10:
Hi,

Could you please advise how to ring a switched off S4 i9505?

Also, how do I lock this device on boot up, similar like on a PC where you require a boot password.

Thanks

fnb10
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If the S4 is completely off, which given the context of your question I assume is the case, you cannot ring the device at all. An equivalent in the PC world would be trying to access the hard drive while the computer is off. A smartphone must be in sleep mode for it to receive calls.

To set a lock on the device varies depending on the ROM, but in general, Settings > Lock Screen > Screen Lock. From there you can select from the following.

Swipe (no lock)

Pattern (draw a diagram you create on a 3x3 grid that appears on screen)

Pin (4-digit numeric password)

Password (alphanumeric password)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zhaoyun:
Hello, I have just a got an XT1254 for around a week so I am still testing the device. Battery is always my biggest concern for every phone I had and therefore I like droid turbo's big battery.

After I have got the device, I tried to debloat most of the moto/verizon/amazon apps and managed to get only 1%-2% drain during sleep overnight. I haven't installed many apps at this moment, as I am testing how long I can get with minimal usage for one charge. It is now more than 2.5 days after charge and I have 62% left, and I disabled almost all censors. and only turn on data/wireless only when necessary.

My problem is, I still get a, I think, quite fast battery drain when screen on. I am not watching video or playing games, I just use whatsapp or test camera, not even facebook, and I get 1% drain in 2-3 minutes. What I want to ask is, is this normal? Or is there anything I can do to reduce further? I think the screen eats most of the battery, and I used auto brightness, or manually to 10% brightness indoor, with dark wallpaper in launcher already.

I have no plan to root at this moment, but I think the processor speed can be lowered. Is there anything I can tweak about the processor?

Thank you very much for answering! :)

Besides, you should know that KitKat stand by time is horrible. I passed from around 10% battery drain overnight to around 2% with Lollipop. You need root to tweak the processor.

:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zhaoyun:
Thank you and I have tried to read the posts. The google play service doesn't seem to be the problem of my device. The drain during sleep is somewhat acceptable, and anyway I need to keep background data on for play service. My problem is, when screen on, it drains 1% in 2-3 minutes doing simple tasks like whatsapp and camera, and the brightness is already either auto or minimum. And my point is, given the huge battery and nothing serious being done, it still drains more than my previous phone (sony m2 also running kitkat 4.4.4)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Galaxo60:
You should take a look at the apps you have installed, besides this, I think the drain is pretty normal for a QHD screen. Remember there are great number of pixels to move in this screen, so the battery also suffers from this.

;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zhaoyun:
I attach a screen capture of my battery screen.

My phone is new and I haven't installed many things. Just nova launcher plus some widgets. BTW, may I ask whether phone idle contribute 25% of power is normal. Yes I mostly leave the phone standby and actually do not have real use except phone, sms and whatsapp.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Galaxo60:
I don't see anything wrong with the drain, all is perfectly normal. Phone idle is on top when you don't use the phone, so I think you have no problems at all.

I am sorry for posting this, coz I've failed in finding a way how to change font after flashing my X01HT in this forum. I am using LVSW 16/6 right now. It seems just fine now.

However, just after installing LetJapan font for, of course Japanese font, I saw my start menu font is bigger than before. I couldn't change it in screen menu. I searched it and it seems the only way is by tweaking it. The problem is, default tweak, at earlier version of LVSW (AFAIR, coz I flashed it many times :) ) and tweak from other (Tweaks2k2) doesn't work. There is an error message, but I don't understand it.

Is there any friend here facing the same problem? how to solve it?

Sorry if I repost this question, since I cannot find the thread. Thank you very much.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
have you tried the font size settings for the phone which can be found in the settings just look hard for it. if that won't work its probably hard coded into the app you installed for japan lettering and your screwed
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jarotbudiono:
I did try, but only the font for today screen that changed. My problem is font at start menu. It did not change even I scroll the font size at setting-system-screen-text size to minimum. :(

Good day developers

My nexus 4(16 GB) got update 5.0.1 and then onwards nexus 4 dose not showing network bar (LTE), after then I updated 5.1.1 but no use of it, so I checked all XDA forum and I rooted it, changed ROM , tried to update LTE and all other changes that the developers posted, there is no use, so I stop trying and then I found anther problem that nexus 4 only showing 7 GB free space but my nexus 4 has 16 GB ,I reset the mobile that is no use then I tried from recovery mode and wiped the data , that make all the data including my OS wiped and I can't run my mobile when every I am rebooting it showing only Google logo.

please developers suggest me what to do know how i can install new OS with out DEBUGGING .
[General Topics] Sammy_052:
Nice

Wow, this is a totally put together review. AmoLED screens save a lot of power on black, unlike LCD backed by light from LED where the entire screen needs to be on at all times when the screen is displaying anything. LED screens do not have a back light to support them in producing light. The individual pixels themselves produce the light. Hence if part of the screen is black, it means that, that part of the screen is off.

I had thought this through when making the rom in the first place and hence was the need in keeping all the elements either complete black or white. But samsung as a company decided to go away from this beautifying and practical aspect and the later phones have begun shipping with rather different set of colors.
[General Topics] beeshyams:
Thanks for your view. It is fitting that you as ROM developer, included this aspect in your ROM and that is what triggered me thinking.

The test above is representative of a small portion of SOT, maybe around 10%. Real life usage is what needs to be measured and am searching for an app that can run fair amount of real life use cases. Only Antutu does something similar but requires user intervention to run. Ideal is auto play so that it can be automated through MacroDroid. Your thoughts around this are welcome
[General Topics] beeshyams:
Updated test results

So, i was stuck for long to do real life testing and it is done now !!!

A few major changes from the previous set up

1. ROM changed to wesam.othman v8 by [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION]

2. Better Battery Statistics (BBS) used in place of 3C Tool Box mainly because of ease of setting up and being more popular, eliminating process described in OP. But IMO, 3C Tool Box is far more versatile and powerful in studying battery usage

3. Most importantly, discovered Battery HD app (free) by Small Tech (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.smalltech.battery.free&hl=en). Very hand app and well designed. This app has on line calibration features using wifi browsing, streamning music and video. I wanted to extract these modules and incorporate in the macrodroid macro (part aim of this test is automation as mentioned in OP). Requested the developers and amazingly, they jumped in to help and created separate links for each of these modules so that i could call them in the macro to execute without any manual intervention. Extremely thankful to Santiago and Vadim of the team who made it possible :good:. Without their help, automation of this test could not have been possible. Thanks again !!!

Coming to the test , real life usage to the extent possible has been simulated except for gaming, calling , texts and social media apps. Test consits of 30 minutes of browsing, 15 minutes each of streaming music and video. Screen was kept on during the test duration and darker (screen filter) when used was set to 50%. Pics attached

Results

Case 1: Bright wall paper- Batterydrain was

10 %

Case 2: Bright wall paper with screen filter - Batterydrain was

9%

Case 3: Solid black wall paper - Batterydrain was

8%

So, this may be interpreted as- if you get 5 hours SOT for instance using a bright wall paper , you would have drained 50% of battery. But with using a screen filter on the bright wall paper, after 5 hours you would have used only 45% and the extra 5 % (over usage not using screen filter) would give you additonal 30 minutes of SOT !!!

And if you were using a solid balck wall paper instead, that would have given you an additional hour , making it 6 hours of SOT !!! ( Of course, this is assuming same usage and linear battery drain)

So, it is your choice, you can test it yourself

Happy battery life...cheers

Is the any build.prop edits we can do to add some more notification toggles? I know on my note 3 there are a few that could be added.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hopesrequiem:
You could always use the app called power toggles to add some more. It's a great app I used to use on my moto x that had no toggles at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
I like the toggles samsung use. Just wondering if I could add any. I remember on the note 3 that they didn't have the WiFi toggle but we were able to add it in by editing build.prop along with a few others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Tulsadiver:
This app is really for sprint users but it will enable all available toggles except for flashlight.

You will lose the flashlight toggle. You can delete the app after enabling the toggles if you wish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
Thanks but u think I use the flash light toggle the most. I guess I could install it then add flash light back in build prop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Tulsadiver:
You could try this. I enabled all the toggles with the app. Edited the provider settings database in system/data/data and got the flashlight back. Here is mine if you want to copy it into yours. Just take the folder out of the zip and copy it over.

Oh, I also changed the scroll limit from 10 to 31 for all toggles
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
Awesome thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Tulsadiver:
If mine doesn't work for you, use the app to enable all, then use a SQL editor and open the system/data/data/ com.android providers settings folder, databases, settings.db ,then system folder, and go all the way to the bottom. Add TorchLight; to the end of all the others. No need to do anything else. I copied my folder to the internal SD card, edited it, then copied and replaced the one on the root drive and rebooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
It worked perfectly. Torchlight toggle was there. It played with some of my sound settings so I had to change it back in settings. Guess I'll have to go through my settings and make sure things are how I like it but that's no biggie. Thanks again!

Edit: I first copied the hole com.android.providers settings in cause I don't know how to follow directions lol. Once I copy just the database and rebooted I was good to go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murdakah:
Hi guys

Using ADB copied all the individual partitions (boot, aboot, system, recovery, etc) from my device to my sd card and then to my pc (Linux). Device is a Hisense Infinity H6 (HS-U800).

I am unable to mount any of the files, and have tried gdisk, fdisk, mount. I get a mount error or wring filesystem type.

Also trying to dd the entire block directly makes a single image that i am unable to read. I tried using gdisk to repair the gpt or recreate an mbr but to no avail.

I would prefer to work with the individual partitions as it appears that they have different filesystems for each. But when I specify the filesystem using mount i get a wring filesystem error.

Would appreciate any help, thanks.

PS

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

EDIT

Never mind, it turns out that if you dd directly from phone memory to pc android corrupts the files. Fixed it by using the sdcard as an intermediary step.

Okay, here is how to do it:

Make sure your machine is running Windows XP (if it isn't, consider Dual-Booting, running a Virtual Machine or completely getting rid of the c***p that is Vista and just using XP

Grab the picture you like (I tried googling 'i-mate splash screen' and 'i-mate boot screen' but couldn't find the original...)

Follow These instructions VERY carefully

Enjoy!

(btw. Why do you want the original I-Mate Splashscreen? The custom ones (eg Leo's) look a lot better and you really shouldn't see that screen more than a couple times if you have a good ROM. If it is because you are selling the device, then you have a resposibility to inform the potential buyers that it is using a custom ROM. Either way.... hope this helps!)

Hello, and welcome to XDA! This could of course be a hardware problem. You say you did a full wipe but you don't say if you have a rom installed. It could indeed be rom related. What you could try to do is flash stock firmware back on your phone: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/quark-stock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470.

2) The next thing is that i do not know in which way i have to flash this stock recovery because i cannot enter the recovery mode.

3) Is it possible to flash the stock recovery with adb in mac/ windows (e.g. all in one toolkit and stock recovery)?

4) Or would you do the factory reset in another way or is there at least a possiblity to e.g. update

twrp in anyway to get comfortable with the encryption?

5) i read about RUU to reset to stock recovery, but als fot the RUU method i need my version-main, right?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
From you hboot version its either 5.11.161.2, 6.12.161.5 or 6.12.161.9 anyway they should all work fine to perform a factory reset.

to flash the stock recovery, proceed like you did to flash the custom recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then factory reset

Using an RUU will also work buts its a little overkill just to remove encryption mostly if you are going to flash another custom rom just after.
