[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Josh98:
Hi all,

Having a strange issue with the accelerometer on my 2013 Nexus 7, wondering if anyone has experienced this.

I must admit I need to do one further test which is return to stock but I'm skeptical it'll make a difference.

Whilst running a custom ROM the accelerometer just cut out of its own accord. I assumed it was a software issue so I did a clean flash of the same ROM. It was working fine again. Great. Except a few hours later all of a sudden it stopped again.

I've since flashed another 2 entirely separate ROMs cleanly and the exact same thing has happened every time.

Can't think what it could be, I assumed it was software seeing as it works briefly but now I'm not sure at all. Will try stock as soon as I can but thought I'd ask while I wait until I have a chance.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboyofpersia:
I installed philz recovery. In it i went and selected delete data to install a new rom.

Didn't help.

Then i tried format system, format data and all those other format options.

Didn't help.

Then i tried

Clean dalvik cache and format phone and clean cache.

Didn't help.

By the way. I did not lock my bootloader as mentioned in those instructions above. Is it cause of that?

And yes. I had one country's rom before. So this is of another country, does that cause such a problem?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMak00:
Hope this the right place to post - please let me know if not.

I have the Sprint G3. I rooted (being a first time rooter at that time) within a few weeks of getting the phone. Frankly, I don't recall how I rooted it, but I think it was using Stump'd. In any case, root went fine, installed, SU, and been using some of the Framework apps like tweaksbox.

Okay, here's what I need some help with:

I think I need to unroot the phone, return it to factory stock, and then reroot before flashing a ROM to it. Is that correct?

I've seen a couple of threads here with instructions, but I don't follow/understand much of the terminology. Hence, is this page good to use to help me - http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root/how-t...nbrick-lg-g3/?

Secondly, once returned to factory srock ROM, will I have to OTA update to the most current version for Sprint before rerooting? I think I've read that the current stock ROM is not yet rootable?

Third, I really want to flash a ROM because I think it will result in a lighter weight ROM to conserve battery power and because I really want to theme the phone beyond what I can do now rotted with icon packs and tweaksbox. Is the CM ROM lighter weight and will I realize better battery performance?

Lastly, I'm hesitant to install a custom ROM because I'm afraid of losing phone, data, sms, gps services. I think this after reading the custome ROM threads and see complaints regarding users not having services available or connectivity issues. Is this a legit concern or am I overthinking this?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions, tips, and feedback.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
First lets start with returning to Stock ROM. No, no you definitely do not need to return to stock factory ROM to flash a new one. Since you already are rooted all you need is a TWRP recovery.

To flash TWRP recovery to your device (Sprint G3) use this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-sprint-t2900588

It's very easy for a begginer to achive this. If you don't want to use adb, fell free to download flashify and flash the downloaded TWRP image from thread above with it.

It's even easier with flashify.

Yes CM ROM is lighter, closer to stock android, not the LG one. If you really want better battery experience you should also look up different kernels, different governors, more adavanced stuff, nothing too much.

You don't need to be scared of flashing ROMs. It's a very basic task these days.

Losing data, calling ability or other thing is very unlikely. Of course mistakes happen so be careful. First thing to do before flashing anything on your device after instaling your TWRP recovery is to do a backup.

ALWAYS DO A BACKUP OF ALL IMPORTANT PARTITIONS ON YOUR DEVICE.

To get your custom ROMs, including CM look up these:

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/orig-development

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development

Also be careful to flash things made only for your device (Sprint LG G3).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMak00:
Very helpful and thanks.

To show off my noobness... Do custom ROMs have customer kernels or do I install a customer kernel as well as a custom ROM?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
Yes, they do come with custom kernels.

But you could change kernel for some other one if you wish for.

I personally use Blisspop 3.7 on my LG G3 D855 with kernel that came with it 777 by 777jon.

Short Story:

Is there a way to change what my HTC device thinks is program only RAM vs Storage only?

Long Story:

I have an HTC Titan, but thats not important as this is a standard question. I couldn't find a similar question or answer by searching the forums, but if someone has a better search keyword for me to use, post it here too.

Is there a way to expand what the device thinks is Program memory? I'm trying to install CoD to test the Mogul (even if you post that it doesnt work I still like to know my original question). I have about 20mb left of "program" memory, 130mb left of "storage", and a 512micro sd empty (minor IE cache and attachments on it). I'm of course assuming that the ROM just makes those setting in the RAM and its not two seperate chips.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
from wm5 ms changed the way memory is handled / works

pda's used to use flash for the rom

and ram devived between application and storage

but as batt death would delete peoples storage

and flash becomming dirt cheap

they changed it so ram was only! used

for application memory

and flash was used for storage

so the slider to devive oneself is no longer present

there are tools at least for some devices which make a ramdisk for

the pda which take some of the application memory and let one

install stuff on it you

can check buzzdev.net to see if that tool DiscOnChip is out for your devices
[General Topics] ldubin:
So they are fundamentally different memory types and chips?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
yes

you can compare it with pc memory vs. pc harddisk

hhmm is that a new spam tactics ?

to post spam inside threads to make deleting harder?
[General Topics] ldubin:
Fair enough...thanks...shame it turned out harder then I though

.....that is a very interesting spam tatic...never seen that...*wonders off to find an mod*
[General Topics] Rudegar:
yes it's harder after wm5 but with buzzdev.net's chipondisk program it handle it

not sure how many devices it support as it was mainly made for old devices

where they only have very limited storage space

and "alot" of memory because they were made for the old wm2003 and prev

memory deviding system
[General Topics] ldubin:
It just seems to me that, while yes I like storage but you give us a SD slot so why make only 47mb Program and 162mb Storage....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graviousity:
How the problem occurred

So a year or two ago I bought a Jiayu G4A/T/Whatever they're calling it and safely got it here. I've used the stock ROM for a bit but I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that was still on it, so I eventually ended up with a properly rooted phone with a ROM from Jiayu.es (Everything worked, have ClockworkMod as recovery, accessible via Mobileuncle Tools), which was essentially a stock Kitkat rom made to work for the phone. Now I got sick of the ROM and recently saw the new EMUI version on Huawei's P8 Lite, so I figured I'd look around for a tailored ROM running that, and ended up at "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" from Needrom.

What I did

1. I downloaded a ROM from Needrom with identifier "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" (I can't post external links)

2. Backed up my important files following a guide from androidcentral titled "[Guide] How to Backup and Restore Apps and Data when installing new ROMs" that I can't link,and did a full backup using CWM

3. Placed the ZIP on my internal SD card, went into recovery, wiped data/cache (not dalvik, since it wasn't described in the instructions, I think this might be a probable cause) and installed the new ROM from ZIP

4. Rebooted the phone and now it's stuck in the boot loop I mentioned.

What the problem is

Bootloops aren't that much of a problem usually, except this one is... I can't get into recovery mode. From there on it'd be cake, since I made the right preparations, but I can't get into it. While connected to my PC it keeps powering on, showing a splash screen from Jiayu.es briefly (which shouldn't be present anymore) and powering off after 10 seconds, only to come back to the splash screen.

What I've tried

I've unplugged it, removed the battery, waited to get a full power cycle and tried to hold my buttons in these combinations: [power button + volume up], [power button + volume down] - but neither work. It just keeps going with the boot loop. I can succesfully power it down, and when I plug it in from there it shows the low battery image. At the moment of seeing that I thought I could connect to it using ADB / Fastboot, but no luck there either. It keeps saying no devices found, and with fastboot it keeps on <waiting for device>.

My questions

What exactly can I do if there is no way for me to get into recovery mode? Are there any alternatives? How can I get my device to be recognized by ADB? Is that even possible? Why is this bootloop any different from others?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graviousity:
Update from the massive Q&A thread:

Thank you for the reply!

Yes, it does. I took the battery out and let it lay disassembled for a night, after which I cleaned it a little and re-inserted the battery. With the case back on, nothing happened, so the power button wasn't stuck for sure. When I powered it back on with the power button (no USB attached) it showed the emblem for ~8 seconds and powered off. It then buzzes to show it's powered on again and up comes the splash screen again. Could it be that the ROM was just a rebooting falsehood? Why would it disallow me getting into recovery mode? I really hope there is something that can still force the device into recovery mode / interact with it somehow while in this state.

Oh, I also tried to see if the volume down button was broken but all the contacts seem intact, plus, they worked an hour before I started switching roms.

Hi, For the past few days my XZ is heating up for what seems no reason at all reaching the 75º when using certain apps. I've been reading reviews to switch phone and I've read that most phones reach the 45º/50ºC when gaming and I got worried becaus that's really close to my normal temperature while using the phone.

So I was wondering if any of you suffers from the same problem or if maybe my nexus is somehow damaged and it's because of that that it gets so warm. So what is usualy your normal temperature on XZ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akinaro:
Welcome in the club :D

Tested with few apps and pirometr that i have in work(temp of back panel)

Normal usage: 40-50

Games: 65-79 pirometr show that back of my phone have 55-60

And now best part. When i plug MHL cable and set stream to fullHD i have max 84-86 and instantly after that phone reboot it self. Its one of reason why i have full backup of 4.3 system that i can set in recovery, because i have such teps only on LP(so dont tell me that i have wrong cable or something)

But thats not it! Actually after third time pluging MHL cable phone was so hot that back panel unglued it self -_-

So actually because of lack of proper testing from sony they literally destroy my phone, because as a user how could i know that they didnt check it? xD

As i said in other thread, i gather all logs, screens and info about that problem... And didnt had any respond from sony, nothing, just like before when i had problems with other phones( not temp related). I fixed it by my self, because i changed back panel 2 times before, but still its hilarious that i didnt got even simple respond like "we gonna check this" or "go f yourself"(sorry for that)

Now when im writing this using only opera and noozy music player my phone have 63°C :)

I tried lowering Mhz using cpu tuner, but beside better battery life in standby mode phone is still hot as hell

And for future questions:

yes I did clean installation

Yes, i tried different ftf

No, its not my phone hardware, dont have such problems in 4.3 or 4.4

No its not mhl cable

No, its not because it have iPhone syndrom(I dont hold it wrong)

Yes, i would like to say that 80°C was a joke but no, I plugged cable, start movie player and opened cpu temp, after jumping to 86 phone was dead and reboot it self after few sec

My 3 month-old Galaxy S6 (when it had Lollipop 5.0.2) bossed every benchmark I threw at it. But now for some weird reason I'm having performance issues. The fingerprint sensor feels sluggish and so does the general performance of the phone. I did a couple of benchmarks to get evidence and it scored ~37000 in the Antutu benchmark (latest version) when it has a 69000 score earlier and a 1800 (!!) multi-core score in Geekbench when it had around 4900 earlier.

Usually Lollipop early version that is 5.0.x had many issue of performance and memory leaks hence that is the reason of performance issues. its software bugs and nothing much can be done until samsung provides a update :)

Benchmarks scores are not accurate and at times benchmarks may show that device is powerful but in reality it may not be hence it varies a lot between a benchmark score and real performance of device :)
