PowerIQ is a marketing term for Anker products and it's just a technology to know at which amperage to charge the device plugged in to it. So instead of supplying an equal amperage for all devices (which can shorten battery life, not be enough to charge, or cause battery to overheat), it determines what device it is, what amperage it needs, and provides just that. As far as I know, it is NOT Quick Charge 2 compatible. I have used many Anker products over the years and they are great products, but I've not seen any of their produces be quick charge 2 compliant.

Got a Anker Quick charger here and compared to the stock LG G4 theres not much of a difference. Both charge at round about 1.7A
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
actually, after writing that, I realized that is was the anger quick charge that I bought. I was thinking about charging bank and a car charger. Both anger doesn't have. I had to get aukey car charger. Haven't really had the chance to test it out.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

My anger charges quite fast. I haven't used the charger in the box yet. It fast charges up to 50% and then slows down to normal for the last 50%.

Hi XDA,

I have a Canadian Note 2 SGH-i317m from Telus (Canadian carrier). Baseband = I317MVLALJ2. The phone has stock 4.1.1 and is unlocked. I'm thinking of upgrading the phone first to Kitkat (OTA) and then applying the custom AWS modem because I don't want to take a chance with a custom rom. I know you dial *#0808# instead of *#7284# for Kitkat, but my concerns are as follows:

I'm assuming version QPST 2.7 build 323 is compatible with kitkat......

1) Is the custom modem compatible with Kitkat (OTA)? The reason I ask this is because I heard the further the upgrade with Android, the greater the chance of the custom modem losing compatibility/function.

2) Is it possible to do a factory reset with a custom modem once it's installed? Will I lose the custom modem and gain the old one?

3) Is the QPST backup of original modem qcn enough to restore a lost IMEI (just in case), as compared to a Nandroid backup?

4) Will my baseband name be changed after procedure?

5) Is it true that you can't downgrade from official kitkat or is it just a rumor?

My apologies for the many questions but little info is found for kitkat. Too many conflicting responses.

Many thanks in Advance :)

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeifAlbor:
Hi guys – hoping you can help me following an issue with my M9 I bought a couple of days ago. Last night I unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev, rooted with TWRP/SuperSU, S-OFF’ed with SunShine, updated firmware to 1.40.401.5 per matanlevanon‘s thread, then flashed MaximusHD.

Up until the last step, everything went well – but I’m now stuck in boot loops. I can currently access both Download Mode and bootloader; but trying to launch recovery gets as far as the TWRP splash screen before my phone reboots again.

I've reflashed TWRP.img using fastboot; but when rebooting into recovery I still have the same result (TWRP splash screen before my phone reboots again)

I've also lost ABD - in Download Mode/bootloader, Windows Device Manager see’s my phone without issue and correct drivers – but ADB server doesn’t recognise my phone.

I’ve tried everything from HTC Sync bundled drivers, PdaNet drivers to generic ADB drivers – but ADB seems to refuse to see my phone regardless of what I try.

Seemingly if I can get a working recovery image / TWRP on and working I can wipe and try to flash again, but current images don't seem to be helping. Any suggestions / help please?

Got it, cache partition was corrupted! fastboot erase cache let me get back into TWRP and reflash my ROM.

Pretty much any app that doesn't use widgets or is one of the "google family" of apps can be moved to sd...it's built into the os....make sure it's apps you can re-install however as some folks have had issues with the phone being unable to read the sdcard upon a reboot and all those apps vanishing as if they were never installed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] (24ZyL0ko:
I recently read a post, I don't know where now, but it had to do with a hidden Trojan/malware. That was started in 2013... After reading, thinking back to when this really started affecting me Feb,26, 2015. I noticed some strange things mentioned in my service log from around that date. The post mentioned how it places a high tracker in some obscure app. Unfortunately I got the bug, BAD!!! So not knowing about this until I made it worse by plugging my phone into my computer... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. My everything is screwed now. My HTC one m7, is the only device I can use period, now. I tried to root, and couldn't. Then downloaded another root checker, and it said my device was already rooted. Is there anything I can do(on my knees begging). This has to be the worst inter-web experience ever. Any and all ideas, advice, similar problems, links, and time are greatly appreciated. Thank you

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
for the phone, i recommend an ruu. in case that bug is somewhere on the phone waiting for another PC victim. It sucks that you will lose everything but its hard to figure out what file is infected and if you restore any file after format you run the chance of it happening again

as for the pc. if you can reboot to safe mode you can use a tool called Combofix. it will sometimes fix problems due to worms or viruses. I've used it many of times i cant fix it manually.

I would like to send an email to Alcatel with the various issues we have with the Idol 3. I would like the meail to be detailed and have all the info in said email. So below I have a list of the things I have seen personally and from some of the posts here.

Issues

- Tap to wake performance is bad

- Tap to wake works better when Gestures "Turn over to mute" and "Turn over to activate" are disabled and Func is disabled. Needs to be resolved.

- Cellular signal disappears periodically, possibly only when wifi is enabled.

- Performance is not ideal and phone lags when doing basic tasks.

- Gesture mode not working on installed stock keyboard

- No Idol 3 support page

If I missed something please reply to the post. Please do not post about missing features as I won't include features.

Thanks.

Also, while you're at it, please add:

This is an Amazing phone at a very amazing price.

- Display is very nice and bright. Something the Nexus 6 could not pull off.

- They kept modifications to OS to a minimum. Thank You!!

- Good T-Mobile support :D

- Unlocked bootloader

- Nice size at 5.5, nice slim design.

- Thank you for including decent headphones!

- $250 ... Less than half the price of the flagships.

I can't praise companies like this enough, who will pretty soon make people realize there is no need to spend 600+ for a phone. I have absolutely no complaints.

Nice thoughts however for many of us the bootloader was not unlocked by default...it was rather easy to unlock but mine was locked originally. They have however done a killer job for the price. I just have to hope T-mobile doesn't randomly start to block the idol 3 from my grandfathered tether plan like they did my nexus 5...currently works fine but they could change that tomorrow if they decided to....one reason I picked a phone I knew t-mobile would NOT be selling.

One thing I'd like is for the FUNC options not to require the PIN to be entered. In the same way that you can swipe instantly into Camera/Dialer without a PIN, users should also be able to double-tap into all FUNC options, especially since users can select what they want to display via FUNC.

Just a suggestion. Not a deal breaker by any means. I am very happy with my phone.

[MENTION=372245]Shodan5150[/MENTION]: I'd be thankful if you could modify your description of the cellular signal loss by adding in a few more details. I have the "extreme" intermittent cell signal issue (occurs every 5-20 seconds randomly), but unlike what others have reported, turning off Wi-Fi does not help the issue.

LG G4 is experiencing touch screen issues, Windows 8 experienced tons of issues, OPO experienced touch screen issues, iPhones crash if they get a certain text string sent, etc. Part of the drawback of being an early adopter is that they often find kinks that went unnoticed in the testing stage. I am not saying that it isn't frustrating at times, but lets not act like Alcatel is in the minority when it comes to companies finding bugs and working to resolve them.

Testing is a lot like anti-terrorism in that no-one congratulates you for the negative things you prevent, they only admonish you for the things that you did not stop.

I also wrote them couple a days ago with the problems mentioned. I have added camera performance to the list as there are phones with same sensor who deliver better pictures in darker settings.

Biggest annoyance has been the random music dropouts and when connecting to bluetooth the music stops playing, needs to be played again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
As far as the camera goes , while it is true that the phone has a sensor comparable to other higher end phones ( and they have been advertising that a lot ) , it is not only about the sensor, but also the lens in front of it. And in that department, I think the Idol 3 is slightly inferior to the higher end phones. Some of the picture quality issues will hopefully be resolved by software updates, and some by usage tricks ( such as proper focusing, ISO and shutter speed selections ) but as far as the lens goes, we are stuck with it.

I just tested this - and for me the music continues to play even if I connect my Bluetooth headphones in the middle of the playback. So this may have something to do with the specific music player app.
