[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You'll find numerous battery complaints for every update on every device ever.

Empirical yes, but its just a single data point. I'm not saying you are wrong. But there are far too many variables to say your particular battery drain problem is due to one specific issue; or can be fixed by one specific feature. Your main question/title is simply not answerable.

Case in point, I stopped reading the "battery life" discussion thread in the General M8 section long ago; due to the fact it devolved into 300+ pages of otherwise seemingly intelligent folks arguing endlessly (and pointlessly) about this tweak or that boosting battery life, and containing some very sad comments about how one person using their M8 for "only" web browsing and video streaming made them an "old person" and apparently not "cool enough" for the discussion.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeogle:
Yes and no. Doze works when your device is not moving. If you are carrying it around in your pocket, like I do, Doze won't do anything. But if you forget to plug it in to charge and leave it laying somewhere, you should loose almost no battery due to Doze.

Overall, I think M will bring overall battery improvements as it, apparently, optimizes Lollipop. It wont breathe new battery life into an increasingly ageing device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badelhas:
I understand how doze works and it's nevertheless a good add up from Google. My hope is that htc can somehow squash the bugs and make it more battery friendly since I think the Lollipop update was a bit rushed by HTC. Maybe not kitkat like but better.

[XDA Assist] BigRay88:
I recently bought a "new" Unlocked LG D800 on eBay which came from China. I anticipated updating to Lollipop but it's stuck on 20k. Every time I try to update it via OTA it has a error code about being rooted and reboots. I've tried downloading SuperSU to unroot but it says there's no SU Binary installed. I tried the PC Suite and it says it's currently up to date. Can anyone lead me in the right direction so I can at least get to 20y? I'd like to stay away from root cause it's a new phone and I'm an amateur to rooting and afraid I'll brick. Any suggestions?

As far as I remember once u update OTA to kitkat 4.4.4 u cannot go back to ur 4.3 Rom without rooting bcoz it will update ur bootloader nd system partitions.. nut I think u will never feel the need to go back to 4.3 Jelly bean..

although not much has changed in kitkat in terms of User Interface but still its better to update..

P.S: I waited for few months last year hoping that Samsung will update the device in our country too but it was useless..

I will suggest u go ahead and root your device nd enjoy some amazing Roms on this forum

I recently bought S3 battery from Amazon.com. When i opened silver seal, I saw " SAMSUNG" marked logo on metal case. Whereas in your case I see "EASTON". I would say, it should say "SAMSUNG".

In my case, both old and OEM battery has "SAMSUNG" mark

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shwingeoge:
So, recently this problem occurred a few weeks ago, i took it to a nearby repair shop, they said it was some battery problem and repaired it. but today, the exact same problem happened again, i was just charging the phone and when i looked at it, it won't switch on!!! after removing it from the charger the led wont die, and it gets really hot after some time.

I changed the rom a few months back, so it cant be that because the rom was quite stable

is it the charger??

has this happened to anybody else?

is there a solution???

Also, i dont have windows, so there's no use in telling me a remedy that requires windows, also the phone is quite old, maybe 2 years.

Please help!!!

P.S: forgive my bad spelling and my grammar mistakes, i wrote this in a hurry!

[Samsung Gear S2] joetomcat:
Hi there,

I got mine Gear S2 yesterday and this is pretty nice piece of stuff (of course with some cons). And for beginning I started from customization. I like World Time face, but strangely time zones are fixed and I couldn't change them. So in option with three clocks I have London and Beijing time zones (currently I'm in Poland). There is any way to chose different ones?
[Samsung Gear S2] taurean_marcus:
Yes. Long press the world clock watch face and click Stylize. Then rotate the bezel / swipe the screen to the right. You will now have option to change the cities.
[Samsung Gear S2] Cryps:
If you're still stuck, there's a few videos on the tubes of you which demonstrate customisation well. Search gear s2 watch faces.

any one recommend good pocket lock app for more 5

I've tried many... but they only seem to turn off screen not on...???
[Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps] nickname_marco:
gravity screen, that's all what you need.

depending on how you set it, it might work well, not so well, etc.

you do need to spend some time with each setting, take screen shots of battery usage (screen on time, awake status etc) and see what's the best setting for you.
[Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps] edwardob:
thanks..... turns off screen.... but not on screen...

found an old app beings using for years on wife's s3

might give gravity another go.....

because you installed it?????????

put your hand over proximity meter. screen off

remove hand and screen on!!!!!!!

for those with wallet type cover it means that no need to go near buttons... it's automatic

Proximity smart cover. is free. no ads.... working a treat on my not 5

even if you don't use a cover type case.... put it I in you pocket... turn it upside down....===screen off...... take it out=screen on

TCL, also known as Alcatel, has released their new phone, the TCL 3S M3G for $160. Check out the specs below and click on the link for more info and to purchase it.

5" Sharp Display, 1920x1080

Snapdragon 615 Processor

2GB RAM, 16GB Storage

8MP Front camera, 13MP Back Camera

Android 5.0 Lollipop

3000mAh battery

Dual SIM, MicroSD

Fingerprint Sensor

I'm expecting decent battery life, a great screen since Sharp's Triluminos displays look amazing. I'm a little worried about the Snapdragon 615 though, knowing it's issues with performance and overheating, hopefully TCL can deal with that. Has anyone got this phone? Let me know what you think about it!

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nccsa186:
I got Carbon successfully installed and love it! But one thing I miss is how easy it is to stop users from browsing my private data when I hand my phone over to them (Emui Privacy Protection, google (in quotes) Hide Your Contact, Album and App)

I figure with Carbon the closest equivalent is the guest account?

If it isn't, please clue me in, but if it is, my phone is limited to one user account when I can't force fw.max_users=4 to stick.

pm get-max-users keeps going back to 1 after every reboot.

Does anyone know of an alternative locking functionality to that emui awesomeness I had before? Or is there a way to make guest work?

Sorry to make y'all google above, I'm a newbie and am not allowed to add url's to this post :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Can you try posting urls like:

www dot Google dot com

or

wwwXgoogleXcom

:) ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nccsa186:
The URL that comes up when you google "Hide Your Contact, Album and App" is too long to do that, but it comes up instantly with the exact results that I'd paste anyway.

I just wanted to illustrate the feature that I am missing and wish I could make work in Carbon. Thinking about reverting to emui just for that feature, but if I did that I'd feel so inadequate, having worked so hard to get twrp and carbon installed.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Dual Boot:

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/themes-apps/patcher-multi-boot-t3222899

You can have multiple ROMs at once. Highly recommended by me :) .
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nccsa186:
Yeah, what I need though is more like what's available in the emui stock os, where you can lock your phone, unlock it with an alternate pin, and the temporary user can't open any but the apps you specify.

Rebooting to a separate rom is too much trouble for handing the phone off for 30 secs.

Have you seen the emui privacy protection feature? Pretty cool.

I'll probably just use screen pinning; not quite as good, but it works.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
You could use stock ROM most of the time when you know you might have to share the phone, and make Carbon your secondary to use only when you won't be likely to need to share phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nccsa186:
That would be one solution.

Since I posted this two days ago, I've experiment with the screen pinning tool, and also I DID successfully add another user account, so switching users should be a good solution.

You'll have to forgive me; I work in IT Security. One just doesn't hand over one's information to another user!!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Isn't there a Carbon thread. Maybe ask Carbon questions in there.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
There are app lockers out there like this. What you do is choose an app you want to lock (for example, Gallery) and then you choose when to lock it and how to unlock it.
[Google Chromecast] daddy2k:
This rom is based on the latest stock firmware 1.16.44433 for first gen devices. It is meant for already rooted chromecasts with the latest Eureka-ROM installed.

This rom has working Spotify support

Some informations:

googles update_engine is removed

there is no auto update in this ROM

telnetd is enabled to allow easier manual updates and root access

Spotify is working

wipes all data, you must setup the chromecast again

Easy install method:

connect to the chromecast by ssh or telnet

paste the following line:

remove eureka_image.zip from cache folder to prevent reflashing (login by telnet):

manual method:

download ROM from http://wooot.de/chromecast/eureka_image.zip (md5sum: 35790cfb52f5c638f751fa789a521d72)

copy to a flashcast usb-stick

boot to recovery
[Google Chromecast] djnaff:
Updated fine Thanks Spotify working well
[Google Chromecast] Johan1976:
This firmware seems very unstable. Specially one of my chromecasts seems to crash at least a day ending up reboot to team eureka chromecast is updated screen with red LED. This means I need to unplug and reboot. Quite annoying. Anyone else with this problem?

Weird enough the other chromecast is a lot more stable. Same firmware different behaviour on exactly the same hardware :(

Skickat från min GT-I9505 via Tapatalk
[Google Chromecast] daddy2k:
the "normal" reboot to recovery after some days has to do with the "crashcounter.android". I forgot to include fts binaries in this ROM, which resets this counter after a complete system boot. As the chromecast reboots ones daily this happens after around 5 days.

But this does not explain why one chromecast has worse behavior than that. Nevertheless did you know that you can connect to the chromecast in recovery by ssh:

hostname: flashcast

user: root

password: letmein

you can trigger a reboot remotely.
[Google Chromecast] Johan1976:
No. Its really strange. I might flash original eureka to see if this behaviour stops. What is even more strange is that the unit who suddenly reboots(crash?) is the unit who always have been running cooler according to Eureka status page. Guess Google just has ****ed something up :)

hey johan, you the same johan on the plex forum? i guess this is thread you were talking about? just curious whether you are still having this stability issue. Otherwise I think I might give this firmware a try. :D
[Google Chromecast] Johan1976:
Yup. Same Johan :) and yes, It restarts everynow and then. Not a biggie but since some things are missing it ends up in flashcast recovery and requires reboot either from ssh or just a power cycle. For me its worth it to get spotify.

How is this chromecast powered? Via TV USB port or via wall outlet? I just thought that it could be underpowered if it's being plugged differently than your others ccs.

[General Questions and Answers] andy_from_ireland:
is it technically/physically/electronically possible that the LED camera Flash on the back on the Android phones be run at lower brightness intensity by software? - I mean as I understand it the 'flash' is not a xenon flash, its just an ordinary light emitting diode (LED) but just a very high brightness LED - but all the same like any other LED it should technically therefore support different brightness settings (even if only down to 10% of its full brightness) should it not? maybe by the software applying different lower voltages to the LED in the particular app?

The reason I ask is that I prefer to use flash call alert apps and these tend to use the rear camera flash (some use front screen display as well but I prefer to divert the alert to flash the camera flash light instead of the screen) so in all of these flash alert (for ringing/missed call/ unread SMS) that I have ever tried from Google Play not one of them has ever featured a way to lower the brightness of the LED Flash to a lower percentage of brightness - is this because there is no way technically to lower the brightness of the camera LED and that there is only 2 operational modes of Totally off or Totally on, full brightness of the LED state only or have app developers not realised that it would be a useful feature of their app? - I have my mobile phone in my shirt pocket most of the time, its a large 5.5" phone and the LED flash sits above the pocket and when the flash alert call goes off the LED flash 'blinds' the person standing across me because it flashes at full 100% brightness!

So does any technical person on XDA know if its technically possible to adjust the brightness of a rear camera flash LED? - or has anyone seen a flash alert app on Google Play where one of the features is that you can lower the brightness intensity of the flash? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] good.m.:
Yes

I have seen flashlight apps that allow the user to reduce the intensity of the flash LED. In fact, I used one for a while. But I'm not sure if this capability has been put into any notification apps. It also might depend on your phones hardware. My old phone was able to get that flashlight app from Google Play, but because it customizes the appstore to your phone's compatibilities, an app might not show up for you because of your phone's hardware's limitations. I'll keep my eye out for such an app though.

As long as you have updated to WMDC 6.1, flashing with Vista is a breeze. Just plug in the USB cable and flash like XP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] millercentral:
I can confirm that as well, as long as you update to Device Center version 6.1, the vista flashing guide is not needed. The RUU tools (including auto detect) will work fine when the device is plugged in and synced.

That is the rub...

... I've followed MrVanx's instructions but, the issue for me is syncing. I can connect just fine but getting my 8525 to Sync is a no go.

It seems that my Vista machine consistently renames my device from *******_PC to HTCXX (Usually a number).

Weird.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HunterST:
I followed the instructions and successfully upgraded my ROM, but every time I installed SplashID, I could no longer Sync.

So I just downgraded WMDC to 6.0 (found here), and all my problems appear to be gone - I can sync with no problems.

UPDATE

I still get the strange TCP/IP errors - bringing up Vista's task manager, killing WMDC and restarting it makes it go away. Gotta love Microsoft.
