[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djtanay:
I have S4 i9500, right now on Halycon ROM v9.0(Rooted my phone on 4.4.2)

My brother too have same Model Phone.

I rooted his phone from 4.2.2, applied Halycon ROM,then Ozcan ROM(4.4.2). Right now again on Halycon ROM.

His phone is facing many issues likes Wifi is not turning ON,Bluetooth not turning ON.

Biggest issues are, phone gets too much heated and phone doesn't starts from shutdown until you power phone with charging.

Switch off and charging doesn't takes places,result into start of phone.

If phone is 100% charged and switched off, in morning phone doesn't starts,need charger and battery is shown 0%.

Everytime i flashed the new ROM i did

Full Wipe

Clean Dalvik cahe

Wipe Cache

I have never faced such issue from the day i have rooted my phone.

Help !!!!!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slosrtnick:
I just read the XDA article for the Z5 Premium and how it switches automatically between 1080p and 4k resolution when it sees fit. I think this is an excellent idea for developers to implement into their ROMs. Why don't we have such a feature? Or even a simple toggle that we can select that would change the build.prop or something to switch between QHD and 1080p? Would it be too hard to included or something?

Just wondering, its a really neat feature.

Nick
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Because there's little to no benefit for dropping down to 1080 on this device
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Probably no one has thought of it. By the way, turning pixels off to produce lower resolution on an AMOLED screen will make the screen much less bright. Perhaps not ideal on our already not bright screen.

Not sure what the build.prop has to do with this though?

If it's done right, saving power for each pixel turned off and GPU working less to render images. I reckon it would make a bit of difference.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
It's been thought of, it's been done, and it's been shown to provide little to no benefit. If simply changing this isn't what you're referring to then it's not possible without reverse engineering display drivers.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slosrtnick:
I saw that thread a while back, but i'm talking about auto switching when the gpu demands for it and switching it back when you don't need it. I assume Sony is doing this because they saw an increase in battery life, so it may be worth it for us as well. Just another cool feature for ROM devs to add to their ROM. Or if they figure out a script or algorithm to make it automatic, then at least have a toggle or something in the quick settings. Or if we don't see any difference going to 1080p, then how about 720p? That has to do something, as it only would run half of the screen's pixels. Sony's screen is IPS, i believe, so we should benefit more than them because we also don't have to power a backlight as well as the pixels.

I thought changing the native resolution had something to do with changing a setting in the build.prop. Maybe I misunderstood, as I didn't look too much into it at the time. Definitely didn't watch the youtube vid posted on that thread.

Nick
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
Changing the native resolution to 720p wouldn't result in pixels being turned off. The phone would just render images in blocks of 4 pixels. It would look like ass, but hey, battery life or something.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm not sure about how that works, but it isn't turning off the pixels. As I said...

If the GPU thinks it is rendering to a HD display and the other pixels are turned off, then yes, it would make a bit of difference - but you would need to do both for any difference to be even slightly noticeable I bet.

Ok let me kick this off with the first question.

Coming from a Nexus 5 when I wanted to ignore a contact, even with multiple numbers, I could simply edit the contact and select send to voicemail from a drop down menu.

how can this be done in LG's phone dialer?

Oh and don't mention the "call reject" feature, it is per number, stupidest thing, and is limited to 200 numbers.

Please tell me this will be my first phone ever that I have to install a call blocker app.....

hi,

Before anything, im sorry for posting as i searched and couldnt find anything and i found that this may be the appropriate place to post.

i have an HTC m8 (Android) and my screen is broken, it also has a pass code and for me to connect with usb ill have to accept the data transfer (which i cant).

is there any program i can install to an Sd card that will force download all data to it? or is there a way that i can see and control my phone through pc? anything to recover my data.

i tried taking it to support but no garantee and i was charged 200Euros for a new screen... so no go lol

appreciate any help i can get.

Thanks in Advance

Hey two things

[Android Software Development] jpierson:
For those who are looking for a good emulator for their PC and genymotion/andy doesn't quite cut it for you, check out Amiduos from http://amiduos.com/ I am working on some tutorials on how to root/debloat/xposed the emulator, I have them posted up on my blog: http://talesfromtheandroid.blogspot.com/2015/09/amiduos.html I am almost finished with the 2.0 part, but it is not hard to manually root.

Happy rooting!
[Android Software Development] GTab10.1:
Amazing! Great job, and thanks a lot for this. I was using bluestacks, but ya, that's a piece of crap compared to this. Amiduos is a lot faster. Everything went well following the instructions on your blog for the 2.0 version. I only have one problem, and I know that it's because snapchat is the most piece of crap app ever created in the existence of mankind. Seriously, I have never seen a more problematic app across so many devices. Anyway, ya, it crashes on Amiduos 2.0 .. It seems like it does the exact same thing as what happens on my old-school Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510). You can install it and open it to the login/signup screen just fine, but once you login and it attempts to go the main snapchat UI (where it shows the camera open), it crashes to home screen. I can understand it happening on the Tab 10.1 because it's such an old tablet with old architecture, and I've actually confirmed that it is just the Tab's capabilities itself because I've confirmed with a few other users with the exact same Tab that they have the same issue with snapchat, but you would think it would work fine with Amiduos. This doesn't happen on bluestacks, but my issues with bluestacks were a whole other deal. First off, it's slow compared to Amiduos, but aside from that, I was able to root and get Xposed installed on the latest version. Snapchat actually opens and runs fine on it, but when attempting to use snapprefs (xposed module), it basically doesn't work. It's strange because it was actually working on the first try on the 0.8.11.3116 version of Bluestacks, but snapchat had an issue where if I logged out and then tried logging back in, it gave me some BS login error, and I had to essentially just create a new account. I ended up screwing a few things up in my attempt to solve the issue by clearing data and cache on a number of apps including the xposed framework, and ya, I basically had to reinstall bluestacks, root, install xposed, etc. At that point it wasn't working anymore lol. Snapchat will just crash when attempting to share a photo into snapprefs (that's how you get a photo from gallery into the snapchat editing UI), or it would just show a black screen in the snapchat UI. I'm not sure if I want to try genymotion/andy for my snapchat/snapprefs needs. I might just have to use my old-school jailbroken iPhone 4 to run a tweak that basically does the same thing as snapprefs. The only reason I liked snapprefs better (when it was working on bluestacks) is because it didn't affect the quality of videos that I shared from gallery to send through snapchat. Phantom for snapchat (jailbroken iPhone tweak) seems to do that. Would you happen to know what the issue might be, and how to get snapchat working on Amiduos?
