[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanker Bob:
My battery experience has been very positive on the MXPE. My usage on idle is less than 1%/hour. After a whole day of normal use yesterday, including occasional phone calls, bluetooth, low-power location on, and about an hour reading on it, the MXPE averaged 1.9%/hour. This is the best battery life I've ever had on a phone.

The biggest battery drains are the WiFi network notification, WiFi scanning always available, both under the Advance WiFi settings, WiFi always left on, using high accuracy GPS all the time, and the myriad of push notifications in apps these days - gmail, yahoo mail, facebook, google+, twitter, google settings, etc. I disable all push notifications in all apps except my work email, and that's on an hourly polling rate, and weather bug, which updates every 30 minutes. It takes a while to drill down through all the various app settings, but the result is well worth it in terms of battery life. Of course, it you want constant push notifications and high accuracy GPS 24/7, then you get what you get.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frashed:
If you're rooted an app like LeanDroid can really help manage connections when idle.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew149:
So I disabled WiFi while phone sleeps and the wakelocks are gone also wiped cache in recovery.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticGenius:
Another tip. GPS to device only. And turn off the Google app location BS. The Google stuff drains excessively and device only actually drains less than battery saver lol. Battery saver seems to keep GPS on all the time while device only seems to to only activate GPS when an app pulls it.

P.S. disable the discover card app from polling location cause it does so way to often. Otherwise... Good luck.

Hello everyone, I am a holder of the brand LG G4 and I could use an information:

after the root, you can replace boot animation?

Has anyone done this procedure?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
Replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip with the one you like, set permissions, reboot :good:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamond12:
You can also replace shutdownanimation.zip and /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg

I tried to replace the bootanimation vodafone with the LG but not working. Unzipping the file images are identical (all LG).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amartolos:
Are you unzipping the bootanimation? You have to keep it as a zip for it to work.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianfrinico:
I extracted the two files to compare images. Vodafone store and archive no brand have identical images. I do not understand where it comes from taking the bootanimation Vodafone.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrade.wolfie:
I think I found something useful - there's a file in system/bin called "bootanimation" - I renamed that to "bootanimation_bak" and the 'phone now starts up without any animation.
[Galaxy S6 General] Starcore54:
So i just want to provide you guys an information which i came last week. My power button on my 920f just suddenly stopped working and i'v had a warranty from official samsung store. I tripped knox at 1st day i bought device because i never used a warranty on any of my devices before (ye im lucky) and i cant leave without root. I was afraid that they will tell me that my warranty is voided but it didnt go that way!! I just flashed via odin latest stock firmware on my country and but official status back. The guy at desk didnt even ask if i rooted devices or something just accepted warranty after he clearly saw that the power button is not working. They called me 3 days after, picked up my phone everything worked perfectly and when i wanted to flash TWRP again i saw knox waranty void 0x0! But the interesting thing was that it had older firmware version on it then the version i did flash via odin before i sent it to repair! I'v got the same IMEI so i think motherboard isnt replaced. I tripped my knox again because i dont care for it but i just think that there is a firmware or something they have for resetting the flag and that it isnt a efuse or something!
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
They replaced your motherboard. Imei is specified one imei for one phone only
[Galaxy S6 General] Starcore54:
How can you be so sure? The broken power button is not the reason to replace the motherboard fully..
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
Yes it is, they don't replace components like that. the Power button is on the main board, so they replaced it. Then made changed to the EFS that was device specific such as imei.

[Verizon LG G3] 28cliff:
The LG G3 is a wonderful phone but when it comes to updates I give it a grade of D-. It took months for the sync problem with WiFi to be fixed. Updates to 5 is behind schedule. Verizon blames LG for the problem.

As a consumer, I do not care who is to blame, I need a solution!

My next phone will be a Nexus phone. If Verizon cannot get me a clean version of the Nexus I dump Verizon and try Google Fi.

What's your feeling on the subject?

[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
Agreed.
[Verizon LG G3] thanassi44:
If you have grandfathered unlimited, I wouldn't dump that for a virgin carrier.
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
I have VZW unlimited, and just bought a G3 to replace my shattered Galaxy S4.

Was this a mistake to jump into the G3? I had root, open, generic wifi tether, and a pretty good overall situation with the SGS4, but wanted slightly more modern HW, better resolution and 3GB RAM.

If I go to CM 12.1, will that resolve some of OPs complaints?
[Verizon LG G3] DeanGibson:
Since you asked ...

Well, since you asked:

The updates to the G3 (including to v5.0) are underwhelming.

As a software developer for over 40 years, I'd like to see more testing before release, not less. Or would we like to be in the shoes of Apple users, who can't boot after an update?

Yes, I look forward to updates, but mostly out of curiosity.

Updates almost never include what I'd like to see added (or removed).

I don't worship my computing devices. I'm interested in what they can do, not the latest UI look (not that it's what you are looking for, but many are).
[Verizon LG G3] tmord1:
i also have verizon unlimited, I have been on skydragon 5.0/4.2 kernel for a while now. The wifi has been fixed, I love the phone, the camera is not an iphone camera (sadly, I think they win hands down on the camera), but it is still a great camera. I would recommend you install the hotspot mod from xdabbeb and look into the xcam lg 6.24 app (camera app, for stock roms though, personally, I like it over stock on the lg). I've never used cm, I sort of like stock roms (was on jasmine a long time before skydragon), but I think that you'll like the phone, I also have xposed installed. I haven't had ram issues at all, but I am not a gamer so not sure what your needs are. The 24b modem has been great for me once it was updated. On updates, yes, it has been slow coming from verizon (or lg), but mostly that is a stagefright type fix, and since lgg4 has launched, I just don't think that we are high priority on getting out those updates. I have hear "rumors" that our next update will not be until marsmallow, but they are just that...rumors. Hope you like the g3, personally, I love it.
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Thanks, tmord1, that's very helpful information.

All I really want is a nice platform with minimal bloat, high performance and reliability, and the ability to wireless tether on LTE. I am an infrastructure systems and network administrator, so my concerns are along those lines: what makes a device fast, robust and capable, and if possible bypassing the cages that the vendors mandate.

I get my device delivered tomorrow, so I will look into the methods for root and TWRP install. I have unlocked and rooted many devices, going back to the Galaxy Nexus 1 and original Galaxy Tab. So, Odin and ADB don't' bother me.

:good:
[Verizon LG G3] sunNsnow:
If the camera is important to you, updating / patching to CM 12.1 will affect the camera. Apparently, LG camera driver is proprietary (for the laser focus, etc) and not available on ASOP roms.

I loved CM 12.1 on the G3, but I was unhappy with third party camera apps. I had to go back to stock for the camera.

It's a good phone, though.

[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
The latest update 35b and especially the roms based on it like Jasmine 9.1 really improved the phone. I don't feel any need to upgrade devices and feel like the software is much improved even over the kitkat stock rom that I thought was a great start. Lollipop before 5.1.1 was problematic itself and you can blame Google for that.
[Verizon LG G3] megalosdog:
Agreed 100% the 35 b update made a world of difference as far as speed. The phone is much faster than its ever been on any ROM imho. Btw, has any other carrier updated to 5.1.1?
[Verizon LG G3] a2597:
I switched to liquidsmooth for a more up to date system.

Didn't know that about the camera, that explains why it's taking longer to focus now than when I was on JasmineRom.

Still a great phone. :)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you haven't tried JasmineROM 9.1 or SkyDragon 6.x, you might want to give them a try. Both based on the new 5.1.1 stock and it runs really well!
[Verizon LG G3] megalosdog:
Oh yeah, the 35b update made this feel like a different phone. Plus I don't see any other carrier updating the phone
[Verizon LG G3] 28cliff:
I see....

There's Google Nexus phones. There's Google Fi
[Verizon LG G3] megalosdog:
We are talking the LG G3, not nexus phones and google fi, at least I am.
[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
LG is still ahead of Motorola and HTC and only slightly below Samsung who is the fastest updating carrier after the nexus devices for having timely updates. I'm grateful I bought this phone after having the S3, as Samsung isn't messing around with allowing any more unlocked devices. Even the new nexus devices have efuses to check for phone modification to affect warranty and pay apps that are not reversible. Also you won't be getting a removable battery and sd card with another manufacturer on a new phone. The LG G3 is a pretty darn good device still to own in my book.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i believe you are a bit incorrect with your efuse analogy, its actually a Qfuse (on the 6p anyways).

post 1 and 2 here, should clear things up a bit for you.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

just a heads up, google fi has nothing to do with nexus phones or updates, other than the fi carrier service can only be used on a nexus at this time, and possibly will never be expanded to non google devices.
[Verizon LG G3] clapper66:
I think software updates are a problem for any carrier android devices. Most have to wait a month to a couple for a update that an international device gets. This is so annoying. But something that's even more annoying is how most carrier devices come with bootloaders that cannot be unlocked or so locked up it takes month to find a way to bypass them. I had Galax s4 and I bought it once I knew TWRP could be installed. Then when the g3 was released I wanted it but waited until developers got TWRP working then bought my g3. I'm probably gonna keep my G3 until Cyanogenmod stops supporting it or it dies. What ever comes 1st. :p
[LG Optimus G Pro] Alezzander_:
Hi, guys!

I need to know who use LG Optimus G Pro E980. What custom ROM do you use?

Do your phones Deepsleep on custom ROMs?

My friend tried to use many custom ROMs. But his phone didn't Deepsleep.

His phone sleeps only on Stock based ROMs.

Thanks!!!

http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/general/flashaholics-recipe-success-att-e980-t2854320

despite what all ppl here on forums say i never flashed madmacks modem cuz i dont think its for my device.

always start with your models (e980,e988,e986 ORIGINAL firmware kdz and dont flash madmacks modem cuz custom roms dont touch modem partition) then root,recovery,custom rom....

try to avoid installing all apps that have background scanning or syncing (avp or facebook ) that apps will hold phone awake...

open gapps is also good choice (tested) and deleting nfc app :)

TWRP 2.8.7.0 + Wild kernel + Blisspop here running great! cheers :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Alezzander_:
I have E988 model and have not problem with Deepsleep. I wrote about my friend. He has E980 and his phone did not Deepsleep on all custom ROMs. Suspend_backoff wakelock did not allow Deepsleep.

Madmacks modem only for E980 models not for E988. He did not use Gapps and NFC deletted.

But his E980 Deepsleep on Stock based ROMs.

Thanks for link. I will show this thread to my friend.
[LG Optimus G Pro] g0at1:
One thing to mention. It is crucial to start on stock jelly bean. This is where Madmacks modem is from.

I don't know why but there's a problem with kit kat's modem that will prevent deepsleeping in custom roms.

An observation, Madmacks modem is e980 specific or AT&T specific.

For any other model, for flashing a modem you first need to learn how to extract it, then zip it.

There's a sticky thread by [MENTION=4861746]aryan1312[/MENTION] under android development, where he teaches how to do this.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Alezzander_:
Do you use E980 model? What custom ROM do you use?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lion Man:
So my wife broke her phone. (A car ran over it) .

As you can imagine the phone is pretty messed up. Originaly the phone still worked(for a few weeks) and then she bought a new phone and left that one.

Now a few weeks later i try to turn it on to take the pictures off and it boots into the bootloader and thats where i am in need of your help. If there a way for me to get the pictures off of this phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You're most likely out of luck. Without booting into the OS, the only alternate way you would have a chance is if had a custom recovery. You don't, unfortunately, as the bootloader is obviously locked. It would have to be unlocked before you could install the recovery, but on HTCs, that process wipes the phone. Only thing you could try would be to boot to the stock recovery and wipe cache. Works in some cases, but if you wipe anything else via factory data reset, it'd wipe everything as well. Sorry. It'd basically take some NSA level stuff to be able to extract anything else in this state, if at all.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corwin111:
Ok guys, I am pretty spent in terms of ideas here, I hope somebody can help. I'm not sure if this is a cyanogen thing or a Oneplus thing but here goes:

So I just got the Oneplus One and it's pretty damn nice, save for the twitchy Wi-Fi and BT, but they work fine most of the time so I'm fine with that.

However I am having a really strange issue. I have been using ExDialer on my old Galaxy Nexus because its stock dialer was crap. At this point I am married to exDialer. I've been using it for so long and it is so good and don't feel comfortable using anything else.

Problem is that the Oneplus never asks me about changing the default dialer after I install it. And once I try to call a number from it, it jumps to the stock dialer, with the phone number typed in instead of ringing the contact directly. And apparently there are no defaults. Neither the stock dialer nor the ExDialer are set as default, according to their app info.

So far easy, peasy, right? I downloaded a 3rd party app and forced ExDialer to be come default. And no joy. Still the same thing. When I try to call a number, it goes to the stock dialer and I have to click the dial button there as well in order to call.

I tried disabling the stock dialer entirely and when I try to make a call from EX, it apparently still wants to do the same thing as before and tells me the dialer has stopped working and to go ** myself.

And apparently it's not just ExDialer. I get the same issue when I try to call a number from Google Now, by voice command or by typing, as well as the Google voice dialer app - again, it does its thing says "calling X"" and then goes to the stock dialer where I am required to press the call button again. This one is pretty annoying too because it pretty much precludes me from being able to dial numbers by voice commands from my BT headset. Each time, I have to get the phone out of my pocket and press "call" on the stock dialer to finish the dialing.

I never got any of those issues with the Galaxy Nexus... both ExDialer and Google Now dial numbers directly and don't do this. So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Probably should have mentioned that this is Cyanogen 11.0. I am holding off on upgradingt to Lollipop for the time being. So this is the stock Android dialer in Kitkat that we are talking about.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corwin111:
The issue persists after updating to CM12.1 . Does anyone have any ideas? :)

I should mention that after my initial post I found out that if I dial numbers with +359 (I am in Bulgaria) the issue doesn't happen and they are dialed directly, however if I try to dial the same numbers, starting with 0, which should be the normal way to do it, when dialing numbers in my own country, it always happens. If I use 0 the stock dialer pops up and I have to press "call" again and the calls go out. And if I use +country code, instead of 0, they are dialed directly from EXdialer or GoogleNow as they should be.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslats99:
I have a Z3 dual, and I seem to have no recovery (or even a partition). The phone has no data saved so it is safe to reinstall firmware and start over. But I am trying to get the phone going for use. I currently have 5.0.2 (rooted)installed, and want to boot to recovery to flash a zip file. I have tried a million times to do this in kitkat as well as the current upgrade. In all cases there is no recovery. TWRP cannot create a custom one and there is no recovery to boot into. I installed goomanager and tried to create a custom recovery and got the message "No recovery can be found on your device". Now, I have read that some xperia models actually did not come with any stock recovery (but I cannot verify this). I believe this might the problem from the very start. So, how do I create a custom recovery, where there seems to never have been a stock recovery to begin with. It seems like an endless loop of trying to create a custom recovery, only to be told by TWRP or goomanager that you cannot boot into recovery because there isn't any. I hope this makes sense what I am describing. I have tried many times to create a custom recovery, did re-installs of the firmware (downgraded, upgraded -- ALWAYS ROOTED), tried with bootloader locked and unlocked -- no luck in all permutations and combinations. In the end I cannot boot into the TWRP recovery screen (or any recovery screen for that matter). It simply just hangs for a bit then simply boots normally. Sometimes it gives a message telling me there is no recovery to be found. I know I am missing something, so any help is greatly appreciated.
