[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] shifuimam:
As anyone with a 630 or 635 (or other low-resolution phone) has discovered, the hacks to enable five action buttons and smaller text don't work. I found this information that explains why:

http://sysdev.microsoft.com/en-us/H..._apps_experience_for_medium_and_large_screens

Unless there's a way to trick the OS into thinking the phone has a higher resolution screen (at least 720 px wide), there's no way to use the UserPreferenceWidth or AllowedQuickSettingsElements keys to enable smaller text and an extra quick action toggle.

Anyone have any ideas on tricking WP 8.1 into believing the phone has a higher res than what's reported by the display's EDID?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:
once I read all the registry keys I found the key which contains the resolution of the display. Mine the value is 480x800.

I want that 5 buttons too but i don't think it will work if I fake it. I think that when I change it, the resolution will change to and my screen will have trouble displaying contents.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] surya467:
I can help you change it, but i can promise you that it will work, worth a try, or should i mess up my 525 first and see if it works??
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] rustybob:
I know this is an old thread, but I think I can say that this is 100% possible, I recently bought the Win Blu Jr LTE phone for my sister, and the resolution of the screen is 854x480. I did notice when looking in the "About" section, it did say that the screen resolution was 854x480, but there was a line below it that said it was rendering things as if the screen was actually 960x540.

I bought this phone for her as a replacement for the Lumia 635, and while updating the phone to Update 2 of 8.1, the way the OS looked was clearly different. And while both phones are 4.5", 854x480 resolution screens, the difference in clarity of the Win Blu Jr LTE was stunning.

Now that we have WPInternals and registry editing tools available, perhaps someone can figure out how to get other 854x480 phones to do this as well. Is it possible to get a registry editor on a phone like the Win Blu Jr LTE that can't be rooted or bootloader unlocked? If so, and someone had a rough idea of where in the registry the line with the resolution is, I could probably borrow the phone and take a look at it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was just a second registry key after the resolution one that enabled this upscaling.

UPDATE March 16th 2016

The new phone has been wireless charging fine. It has been over 2 months and still no "issues".

On my travel charger, about once an hour, it would freak out and stop charging. It was fine at home charging on my Nokia pucks.

However this warranty replacement has wireless network issues. It randomly just displays a message saying Network Disconnected... and when it's charging and reaches 100%, it starts to make this high pitched squeal. It wakes me up at night and I have to remove it, which defeats the purpose.

I have been super sensitive with QC 2.0 fast charging. I've used it a few times at home and in the car to give a quick boost, but never ever let it stay on a Fast charge for extended periods or overnight.

I think I am going to ask for a different phone from Verizon. Root and custom days are over for most carrier devices. I wanted to conclude this test.

UPDATE January 13th 2016

New replacement is fine. Called Verizon and found they are aware that Hardware Rev1 has a bad (abondoned) wireless charging chip and has been updated in Rev2.

Unforunately they cannot guarantee a Rev2 during a warranty replacement. So that sucks.

UPDATE January 11th 2016

The G4 is just screwed up. I am calling for another replacement. This time, NO Fast Charging at all. I think it has a bad chipset in them.

UPDATE January 9th 2016

My QI Charging completely died. Multiple batteries, Stickers, Chargers. Nothing. Qi puck wouldn't even turn on the charging LED at all. Absolutely dead. I have been using my QC 2.0 Fast charging at the house and in the car. Last night I charged off a 500mAh USB charger. And this morning it is Qi Charging just fine. I threw it on multiple pucks, multiple times throughout the day.

I think this concludes that it HAS to be a programming problem with the phone with QC 2.0 chargers and the power expectations of the input. I think it gets stuck in a rut after doing a QC 2.0 Fast charge and receiving the super fast charge. Afterward I think the Qi's lower power output, the phone thinks it is a bad connection and rejects it. It will either attempt to make a connection (cycles on, off, on, off, on forever) or just nothing at all.

I will continue testing this. At this point it is charging fine. I will refrain from using any fast chargers and see how long it lasts before freaking out again. After a week, I will fast charge and see if I can "break" it and "fix" it. Perhaps it just needs a good overnight of a 500mAh slow charge to "reset" it's database or something.

What I've noticed:

If I allow the phone to charge to 100% and use it for a bit but not allow charge to dip below 100%, then set it back on the puck (cuz i just wasn't done sleeping yet)... This is when I noticed a hot phone and it freaked out.

The following night, I cleared all apps before setting on the puck and never removed it. Woke up to a normal phone.

Following night I did NOT clear apps but left it on the puck all night. Woke up to a normal phone.

Have not been intentionally been able to duplicate a hot, freaked out phone.

Hope this helps.

[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
This sounds something like a voltage issues seen when using off branded (i.e., ebay) batteries or inferior charging cables. Both can be found to routinely cause phone freak out, lock up, jittering, etc. Just a piece of info to drop in to consider.
[G4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
T-Mobile user with a sticker from Aliexpress. No issues normally, but there was one occasion when I woke up and my phone was piping hot.
[G4 General] player911:
I thought you had problems with the nokia
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Nope. Tried 3 charges and still lockup.
[G4 General] AnteusFogg:
I think one parameter might be the way the charger is plugged. Even with a very good pad, if not using wall plug but some lower voltage source like usb plug on appliances (computer/TV/console/...) the charging often goes on and off, probably due to the non flat back of the phone. The type of back (leather or plastic) may play a role here too.

I'm wondering if the instability of the charging could make the phone go crazy?
[G4 General] player911:
Oh so all chargers lock up. I read your post as 3 chargers and no problems.

I have tried replicating the issue with no luck. Someone said they think it is when it reaches 100% and still charging. Perhaps the on/off behavior of the charger top off? One night I woke up at 3am and it was locked up, rebooted, threw it back on the charger, and woke up at 7am it was locked up again.

Hopefully now there is a root process we can get some more information.

For me, it typically locks up 3-5 days a week.
[G4 General] lawrence750:
Now this may help, I was at work, trying to charge my phone before I left to get the train home, to make sure I had plenty of charge to last the journey. It was charging, using a cable, for about half an hour, and was just quite hot, but the percentage wasn't increasing... (when I charge, I make it practice to just put on charge, and leave it alone, screen off, in order to get the quickest charge possible)

Never happened before, or after that. But maybe this isn't just related to the wireless charging, maybe there is a scenario with a particular app or something that is causing this to occur, rather than the fact its wireless charging?

I haven't had any issues with my QI charger though, although for now I'm not using it anymore, as I've gone back to the standard battery cover, and am awaiting a QI sticker in the post (couldn't get along with the quickcircle case, the flaps drive me mad)

Have experienced 3 times that the phone is set to charge at bed time and then is around 95% battery in the morning, still on the charger. Launcher has crashed and all I see is a black screen. Then some kind of reload and my wall paper is back to default, for some reason..

Edit: After changing charger, both NeWisdom sticker & QuickCircle CFR-100 case both works fine.
[G4 General] player911:
That is typical Konstigt

I used a different launcher last night, Acrion Launcher 2, and it was crashed this morning. Default wallpaper, black screen, same as above.

I am not sure it is a downloadable app, but a stock background app maybe. The reason I dont believe it is a 3rd party app is because it will lock up on a freshly rebooted phone with no apps running.

I installed the upgraded NeWisdom sticker a couple weeks ago, and I've been charging wirelessly each night since then. I have yet to experience any lockups.

Sticker or Official: fonesalesman Sticker from Amazon.de

Qi Charger: Nokia DT-900, LG WCD-110, EasyChee T900

Launcher: Stock / Nova

I've had several crashes during wireless charging from beginning on. I've ordered a qi-sticker from fonesalesman along with the phone and put in on since it arrived. It crashed on day one with stock launcher and nearly no settings made. And it still chrashes after I configured all apps and using nova as launcher. Also tried different chargers...

Today I could watch it crash in the office. The phone went up to 100% and the charger (EasyChee T900) stopped charging for a moment. After a while it changed from no charging to charging in an arbitrary rhythym. One moment it charged for 1-2 Minutes, then no charging for 30 seconds, then charging again for a couple of minutes. Sometimes in between it changed states several times within 30 seconds... As I wanted to check I had the same symptom you all got.
[G4 General] player911:
Yeah this is the problem. I guess we just wait for a custm rom to see if the problem can be fixed.

Anyone able to grab a logcat? Maybe there is some app that monitors the qi charge and freaks out.

Anyone running a custom rom able to test this? I saw an AOSP rom in development. Hopefully it isnt a kernel issue.
[G4 General] Konstigt:
Aha, my HTC chargers output was only 1.0A and my LG WCP-300 should have a 1.8A input. Changed to the stock LG G4 charger to feed my WCP-300 and now I have not seen the issue again. I have also changed to a CFR-100 QuickCircle case.

So good charger + QuickCircle = no problems.
[G4 General] player911:
I use a Nokia Puck which has a barrel plug. I am assuming the included adapter would run at the proper specs. I haven't tested amperage. But you have problems with the sticker but not with the CircleCase? I am curious if you believe it was the power problem or the sticker problem (or both)

Go in and change the HDMI profile for your Shield on the TV. I had mine set for 16x9, but there was an option called "variable" or "fit" or something like that. Once I changed to that? Shield TV displays perfectly.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
It's called overscan. This should allow you to fix the overscan issues of your TV, and the DPI issues to show more.

I though about that but I wasn't sure what dpi I should use plus my Shield TV won't flash SuperSU when I try in TWRP. Once I root it I'll give it a go
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
First you have to unlock the device with fastboot. It may erase all of your userdata when you do that. I suggest backing it up with TWRP before you unlock to an external SD or USB drive. I personally run anywhere between 160 and 200 depending on the application and screen size. I use an xposed module for per app dpi, though my global is 180 right now (the build.prop edit method). You can expariment with them depending on your screen. It's all up to you what you want.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohinipollob:
I mean you are asking how you can resize your screen .plz clear your demand.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
If you mean to make things display larger or smaller, like bigger or smaller text and icons, that's DPI settings.

If you mean things are shown off the screen, that's called overscan. Both were discussed here.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GotsOJ:
So I recently bought 2 Zenfones (exact same model), and was quite surprised to find they have different touch panels. They are both WW, as indicated by their boxes.

Anyone know what's going on here? And if so, which is the "original"/"better" screen?

Attached are some pictures (sorry for crappy old phone photos). Both are at 100%, no auto brightness, splendid profile = balanced.

The screen on the left is a bit redder, with deeper blacks. The panel to the right appears to be more greenish/neutral.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
It's not unusual for companies such as Asus to have the same parts manufactured by different companies, perhaps for supply or pricing reasons. As for the "better" screen, its up to the user's eyes to determine which one looks better. You said it yourself, it can be tweaked with Splendid :)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz07:
I like the reddish one easier on eyes. The LCD is probably a newer revision and a different batch like ansebovi said, e.g. v2. All eletronic companies work that way. How is battery consumption for both? I have the 0xb9. You can use CF.lumen to set display temperature (K) so they match together.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
My N4, which I'd used for well over two years, fried on a hot day last week. I was on a long drive and Google Maps was making it really hot. My wife used the navigation feature, which got it so hot it shut down altogether. But I rebooted once it cooled off and things seemed OK. But over the next couple of days, it was getting hot a lot and was behaving erratically. Finally, while playing mp3s via a cable into my car's aux input, it shut down and stayed that way. If I plug it into a power source with the usb cable, the LED light flashes red. Otherwise, there are no signs of life. It doesn't boot or show any other sign of power. This is not the end of the world. The phone was getting old and my data is almost completely backed up. Very little has been lost. The only thing I can really think of is call and SMS history since it was last backed up, which was only a few weeks earlier.

Still... I wonder if, even if the phone is toast, if there's a way to access the data on the phone's drive. Like taking a drive out of a computer and using it as an external drive. I'm not sure there's even any point. But is it possible?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
After much searching and Googling, I'm a bit stumped.

I'm currently running VP3G's 2.0.1h variant of the WM6 ROMs, and A2DP works beautifully. So does CoPilot / MSN Live Search / Google Earth with Bluetooth GPS. But together? Skip goes the audio.

Some playing with the BitPool setting got me more or less audio before the skips. The BlueTooth GPS is the one that comes with the CoPilot bundle, SirfSTAR III, running at 4800 baud. Fairly standard fare. The A2DP headset is the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 headphones. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use it for satnav - you've guessed it - via the bluetooth headphones.

I haven't tried installing the Widcomm stack yet, although that's next on my list. It'd just be nice to do it "natively" with the WM6 bluetooth drivers if possible.

Thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnburn:
The Hermes has a hard enough time just with A2DP, co-existing with a BT GPS receiver will be really pushing the device's capabilities. You can try installing Sleuth255's A2DPFix v1.0 which does a really good job of fixing A2DP issues in general, but I suspect that you may be asking too much from our poor little devices...

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, installing the Widcomm stack solved it hands down - whilst it seemed to use a little more CPU, it worked fine with the bluetooth GPS and the bluetooth audio, with the satnav application broadcasting audio via the headset.

I'll try the A2DP fix, and see if it does any good with the MS stack. Still, at least I've got a way around the problem now! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnburn:
Interesting! I have always considered the Widcomm stack to be miles better than the M$ one (even though M$ has made quite some improvement recently), but just never had enough time to really play around with it to get it working on my TyTN. There was an effort started late last year to raise $500 for the first person to release a working version of the stack, but unfortunately it fizzled.

This might be enough to get me to try again. I am going on vacation for two weeks starting Sunday, this would be a good project for a rainy day -- I am going camping, it always rains when you're camping!! ;)

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Oh, absolutely, it wouldn't be a camping trip if it wasn't pouring down ;)

After playing around with it some more (using the 0.3 version from the thread), it seems a bit flakey, sometimes failing to update properly, but I think that's more down to CoPilot than the stack - MSN Live Search and Google Maps seemed to work just fine when I was listening to my music. Nothing fancy on the music score either, just plain old Windows Media Player. A lower CPU usage program might help the satnav program - I'll try some alternatives shortly.

The A2DP fix made no difference at all, although I suspect that's mainly for the awful MS implementation on WM5. I haven't really noticed all that much difference in sound quality between the two stacks, although some people rave about the Widcomm, but maybe I'm just not as attuned as some people ;)

There's no doubt that the Widcomm stack is better than the MS one, although it's not without it's apparent issues of course. I tend to use the MS one for general usage and the Widcomm if I need to do more than one bluetooth thing at once. Seems to work for now, although I need to put it in more heavy testing.

Both stacks give the odd skip, but I tend to think that may well be down to how much CPU usage I'm pushing out of the poor little thing ;)

The problem with the Widcomm stack being ported properly was that it wasn't really organised all that well. If someone steps up to the podium, I'm pretty certain people will pay for the functionality. It's just finding someone with the skills and time to do it!

Give it a try, although beware of the potential caveats - reading up on the thread is recommended.
