Hi there.

Over the past month i have made a few very interesting and surprising observations with my phone that led me to a couple of theories. I'd like to share these and get opinions as i cant find anything that proves or disproves them online but the implications are interesting if i'm correct.

The quality of a charge is just as important as quantity. Is this correct? If what ive observed is accurate, the quality of a charge not only effects charging time but how long that charge lasts out for. Ie how quickly the battery drains.

How did i come to this conclusion?

I've been using my faithful galaxy s4 for a good while now. When i first got this phone, it would charge fully in just over an hour from its bundled charging block and that charge would last all day with heavy use.

That was until last month.

The data cable partially broke. The part that jacks into the phone. The pins got worn and that connection decayed and became dodgy. The qualty of the connection dropped significantly. When connected to pc it would cut in and out if it was moved about and charging time via the charging block had increased from 1 hour to over 6 hours. I also noticed the battery drained from full charge significantly faster. I was reduced to charging 4 times a day for my normal use. I actually thought my battery was done at one point.

Then i ordered a new data cable from amazon. An official samsung galaxy s4 cable. That changed everything.

The phone whent back to taking 1 hour to charge from the charging block and its back to lasting a full day of heavy use from one single charge.

That really surprised me. Its rather interesting is it not that wear and tear of a data cable can effect not only charge time but how quickly that charge drains? I'm guessing here the poor connection drastically reduced not only the strength of charge but the quality of it as well. That would at least suggest that quality of the charge is just as important as quantity.

What do the gurus on here think of that one? Does that sound about right?

At work, I sometimes used a flaky USB cable to charge my old Huawei G330 with CM11.

I also noticed that sometimes afterwards, the battery lasted much shorter, because it lost around 5-10% per hour, even when not using the phone.

Turned out, the phone has a software bug in the USB-OTG area, that was triggered by the USB cable making bad contacts.

It caused a permanent wakelock, and the CPU couldn't go to sleep anymore until next reboot.
[XDA Assist] h4mm3r0g0d:
My buddy gave me a tablet to look at. It is the Asus Memo Pad 10 Model K00F (ME102A). The problem is it is stuck at the Asus logo on start up. I got into the recovery menu through the Power and Vol+ button and tried to wipe data/factory reset. That does its thing but still wont boot. I have gone through Asus' site and downloaded the latest update and with ADB tried to "apply update from ADB" from the recovery console using the sideload command. On the latest files (3.11 from the Asus support site) it sends to the tablet but then fails after "verifying update package... Installation aborted." I have tried with both the US and the WW versions of the firmware. I managed to find the 3.9 firmware from an older Asus site. I tried both the US and WW versions and it gets to installing update but then fails with this error. :"assert failed: !less+than_int(1381952086, getprop("ro.build.date.utc")) installation aborted." Now my best guess is that the update that broke it was the update between 3.9 and 3.11 hence the 3.9 has problems with dates while 3.11 doesn't have something correct for it to verify.

Any suggestions on what we can do with this? Asus does provide source code for the Kernels at all revision numbers so if there was a way to compile and flash something we can go from there. Please help or point me in the correct direction. Thank you,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Hey guys. It's been a while since I've poked around the Note 2 sub-forum. A year or so ago I picked up a pair of 2013 Moto X's for my wife and I to make my life a little easier. I had a note 2, she had a s3. Playing admin for two devices, and keeping up with their individual quirks was proving to take up too much of my time, so, we decided to stream line. I wouldn't say the Motos are better by any standard, but, making the switch has made my life easier.

Recently, we've decided to move. We started going through our drawers cleaning things out and found these devices and thought we should sell them. They're both bootloader unlocked, so, they can run the latest and greatest CM builds. The thing is though, I've pretty much forgot what I'm doing with them.

I don't want to odin the device back to 4.1 and re-unlock it all, but I do want to clean up the device so none of our information is on it before shipping it off to it's new owner.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to wipe on the Note 2? Any changes that I should be made aware of that's happened with the device in the last year or so? I was gonna flash the unofficial CM12 build with gapps but if there's any other recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance.
[HD Mini General] orbitalschool:
Hoping someone reads this, seeing this is an old phone. I know how to use the HD mini, and change just frustrates me.

The micro usb port on the phone broke, I ordered a new usb port and managed to damage the motherboard trying to change it.

Anyhow I found a new motherboard on ebay for a fiver, the new motherboard is branded O2. I tried to flash the ROM with OEM HTC ROM, say vendor protected.

Do I need to pay to unlock the phone to install the HTC ROM?
[Xperia Z2 General] guimar4es:
I decided to share this with you since it took me several hours to find it.

I bought some NFC tags to configure some tasks.

For example, I have 1 in my car that when i swipe my phone over it, it connects bluetooth, mobile data, gps signal, set screen bright to maximum and open GPS app.

Problem was, I could not use it with the phone still locked or with screen off making mandatory to be manually unlocked 1st, which takes a bit of the automation of the process (yes, I am very picky :D )

This post bellow, allows you to detect NFC tags with your screen still locked or off as long your phone has the smart lock feature!

I have a Sony Z2 and a LG G3 and this guide worked for both, thing is, the screen needs to be on, but can still be locked.

This solution worked like a charm for me since to turn on both screens i just need to double tap the screen.

Guide:

http://howto.highonandroid.com/andr...android-smartphone-with-nfc-android-lollipop/

Will work on:

– Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Nexus 9, Nexus 10.

– Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S5/S4/Note4/Note3/Tab S.

– Sony Xperia Z3/Z3 Dual/Z Ultra/Z2/Z1/Z.

– All other Android phones/tablets that SUPPORT “Smat Lock” feature and running on stock Android Lollipop.

As the title says "Allowing nfc to work even with screen locked " It didn't work for me.!

Followed everything.. It just made my phone to disable lock[just swiping without pattern or pin] whenever I pair it to a nfc device. :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] indIvide:
Got a used S4 with "custom unlocked" boot screen. Is it limited to SafeStrap?

As mentioned in the title, I just got a used S4. It has AT&T software loaded on it (NC1). I can load SafeStrap *but* my provider is T-Mobile.

The first screen shown when I turn on the phone has an unlocked padlock icon with the text "custom". Does that mean I can use a recovery other than SafeStrap? I ask because I want to run T-Mobile ROMs (or Cyanogenmod preferably) which aren't always TWRP compatible.

If I am stuck, are the AT&T ROMs going to work well with T-Mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xymic:
As long as you have AT&T S4, you'll be limited to using Safestrap recovery only. The problem is AT&T's choice of locking the bootloader that prevents you from flashing any other recovery or any non-Samsung ROM. You can't flash a T-Mobile ROM for this reason, either.

Someone successfully got WiFi calling working on AT&T phone, though. If you're interested, check it out.

Almost all AT&T Samsung ROMs work perfectly with T-Mobile service. You can even flash some i9505 ROMs, too. Again, Samsung ROMs only ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] indIvide:
Is the "unlocked custom" boot screen normal for these phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] merlise:
This seems like a pretty interesting phone! Haha, so if I understand you correctly, the phone is the T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy S4 with an AT&T Rom loaded onto it with the Safe Strap Recovery? OR is it the AT&T variant of the S4, with a fancy padlock boot screen and you're a T-Mobile customer?

As [MENTION=2820392]xymic[/MENTION] posted, there is a way to get a T-Mobile rom on the phone!

I have two AT&T S4's and both are being used on the T-Mobile network. One is running a Lollipop AT&T rom and it works great with my T-Mobile sim! No problems. Another is running the Kitkat T-Mobile rom and it's working flawlessly as well!

I'm not too sure about the unlocked custom boot screen however. It appeared once for me but it didn't come back after I started flashing different roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] indIvide:
I don't know what carrier the phone used to have. I assume AT&T because it has an AT&T ROM loaded. If that "unlocked custom" icon is something you've seen then this is probably a very normal carrier phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
That custom unlocked thing is normal for anyone on here at least. Means there's either root or modified system files, or there were either of those and the status hasn't reset yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RAID Xero:
False. If you're on the AMDL bootloader or older, you can use Loki. The chances of finding a used Loki'd phone are slim and you're are better off with the international version with the correct bands, if buying a used S4. MUCH better access to ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:

Can anyone offer any advice on how to wipe on the s3 in this way? Any changes that I should be made aware of that's happened with the device in the last year or so?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
If you obtained the SGS3 at launch and it has had no updates that would put you on the the 4.0.4 bootloader and modem. Checking the CM 12.1 thread for the i535 indicates you need the MF1 bootloader and the NE1 baseband (modem). MF1 was the second of two 4.3 bootloader released. The NE1 modem is from the 4.4.2 release.

Above all do not upgrade the bootloader past where you need it, the NE1 bootloader is locked very tight. IIRC the NC1, second 4.3 release, bootloader is not locked, but you can not downgrade bootloaders once it is installed. I don't recall the status of the first 4.3 bootloader, ML1. There is a link to the MF1 bootloader / NE1baseband combo flie in the OP of the CM 12.1 thread.

I haven't checked for the i535, I received mine used after it was on the NE1 bootloader, but for other US/Canadian SGS3 variants there is a viable free sim unlock for devices that are not beyond the 4.1.1 modem.

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't remove the sim lock

Rooting the phone doesn't remove sim lock neither.

If the cim unlock code method didn't worked, I would try another sim unlock code from another company and if its still a no-go then you'll first need to S-OFF the phone using Sunshine S-OFF so you can sim-unlock using the sieempi website.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russslannn:
For this method Sunshine I must pay 25$ .I think that a lot of money for old phone model 2013.I see there are other not paid methods ( Firewater, Revone ) . Please help
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
7.19.401.2 which mean you have hboot 1.61. Only Sunshine can S-OFF hboot version 1.57 and higher.

Firewater is discontinued and will not work because this method requires an online server that is not available anymore.

Revone is for hboot 1.44 only

Moonshine is for hboot 1.44 only

Rumrunner will only work up to 1.55 and sometime 1.56 hboot.

So you have no other choices than trying another code or paying 25$ for s-off so you can use the sieempi method. Otherwise you'll have to keep it sim-locked. What is really strange is that phone equipped with x.xx.401.x versions are Europe unlocked versions so they shouldn't be sim-locked, they are normally sold as "carrier unlocked" phones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russslannn:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeykong1:
This is a first... I can't agree with [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]. .401.x are indeed European versions, but they are only free from carrier bloatware. They are not sim unlocked. Both my phones were on .401.x and both of them were sim locked when I bought them
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
That's funny, my first htc device, the One X, was on a .401 version with Cid htc__203 and was sim unlocked, also recently bought a m7 from eBay for a friend. It was sold as "unlocked" and it was a . 401 with Cid htc__001. Maybe it depends the Cid or maybe both sellers unlocked the phones before.... But the boxes were sealed... So idk I might be wrong ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeykong1:
Well, all 3 of my Desire Bravos and my Evo were sim unlocked with CID HTC__032 , but both my M7s were sim locked on same CID. I guess carriers lock their phones separately here, but firmware doesn't mean you will get sim unlocked phone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russslannn:
From what I understand is the only chance is Sunshine method.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If the unlock code method doesn't work then yes, Sunshine + Sieempi is probably the only solution

You guys do realize that it does not matter if it's verizon, at&t, or whatever carrier. As long as root can be found for 5.1 that does not require bootloader unlock it will work for ALL variants. You don't need to seperate money for each variant.
