[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pevire:
Hello, I've got a Nexus 4. From a time to this part, I've noticed that the battery doesn't last as much as when I bought it. It could be completely normal having in account that the phone has about 3 years and a half.

The problem comes with the fact that I've replaced the battery by another new and the new battery lasts according the same pattern than the old one. So if the new battery and the old one last the same, I'm starting to think that is a behaviour of the phone, I mean, a kind of planned obsolescence.

Even, when I ask for the old battery info to the phone (*#*#4636#*#*), it shows that it is fine.

I've noticed that the drainage of the battery is greater when I'm connected to mobile network (in this case, I have to charge the phone after 8-10 hours) and significantly lower whe I'm on WiFi.

Two days ago, I flashed Pure Nexus Project ROM and Hellspawn Kernel (to have dt2w and dt2s) and the battery lasts just the same (even less).

I though that it could be a problem with gravity screen on off but since I have dt2w and dt2s, I don't this such app and the battery duration is the same.

Could anybody help me? It is very frustating to have a phone highly dependent of the charger when the rest of the functions are completely normal and it works perfectly.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Is the replacement battery a genuine Nexus 4 oem battery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pevire:
Supposedly it is genuine but even if not, the new (genuine or not) and the old battery last the same.

When I replaced the old one was bloated. So I guess that the new one should have a little more duration than a three years old and deteriorated battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, that sounds logical.

However I also have the exact same observation. I get the same backup with the 3 years old and new (from LG service center, with manufacturing date as Jan 2016) :confused:

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pevire:
So, although it could sound like a kind of conspiracy theory, it's logical to think that the phone is "wasting" the battery. Do anybody think that is a "normal" behaviour? I mean, due to the use of the components they could need more power to work. I'm an electronic engineer and up to I know that isn't normal (at least in a period of three years).

I really don't find a logical explanation but it is very annoying.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youssefkr:
hello everyone, my D855 have been running cm13 fo a couple of months now. I usually update nightlies every couple of weeks or so.

Today, my phone just rebooted ( which happens sometimes) but this time it's stuck in the LG logo..

So, I went to recovery ( 2.8.6.0) and wiped everything except SD card, then when I tried to flash the rom the phone just rebooted as soon as the installation began... I tried again with different roms (I even tried fulmics) but the same problem persists; the phone reboots as soon as the flashing process begins ( exactly after the line "patching system image unconditionnaly" )

I even tried updating recovery to 3.0.0.2 and again the same problem.

Here is what strange, I tried to move the rom zip from the SD card to internal storage with the twrp file manager , but as soon as the copy starts the phone reboots and hang in the LG logo...

I was thinking maybe my internal storage is damaged ( is that a thing on smartphones ? )

will installing the v30B kdz solve the problem ?

Please I need an answer. THANKS

note : recovery and download mode are accessible

You may try flashing a KDZ or TOT.

If it doesn't work it may be that your phone is damaged.

I just ordered the new Samsung Gear 360 camera. Although it can be used without a phone, having a compatible phone is very useful for it. The Gear 360 Manager app for it is only compatible with the Note 5, S7, S7 Edge (newer phones).

I've downloaded the Gear 360 Manager apk but it won't let me install on my Note 4. Surely there must be a way.

Can anyone help or know of a way to do it?

Ok I have it installed on my Note 4 Marshmallow. I think the parsing error people may get is from an incomplete download from that link.

Once installed and connected, I can view settings and files on the Gear 360.

I cannot get a Live View though, the app crashes when I attempt to connect for a Live View and control.

This is excellent though!

Yeah still doing it wrong I'm sure. Sorry. I'm pure stock unrooted if that matters.

I open alogcat, then try to open live view on the 360 Manager and after it crashes I go back into alogcat and export the text file. Was hoping it's as simple as that, instead of trying to adb it.

I have successfully installed the APK Gear360Manager-mod.apk in my Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337M). But this application depends on another call "Samsung Accessory Service".

I found it at:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory&hl=es_419 < "Samsung Accessory Service"

But, no optión to install it in my Galaxy S4. So, I got it from:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd-3/samsung-accessory-service/ <- Download original app from here

The app is "successfully installed". But when I open Gear360Manager app told me: "You must install Sansung Accessory Service. Install now?" and send me to samsung page on browser.

I did a reboot of my phone... same thing.

Is it possible to mod this app?

Thank you!

Note: I will be owner of "Samsung Galaxy Gear 360" Camera in the next few days.

Update Install on Galaxy S4(i337M)

[MENTION=1346722]Bin4ry[/MENTION]

Samsung Accessory Service, "solved"

Starting from scratch:

1) Installed "Galaxy Apps 4.1.04-10 " from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...e/galaxy-apps-4-1-04-10-android-apk-download/

2) Installed your Gear360Manager-mod.apk . Open it, and tell me it need "Samsung Accessory Service", press "OK" and open "Galaxy Apps" app and install newer version of "Samsung Accessory Service". Finish ok.

3) Open Gear360Manager, and crash immediately!!!

I'm attaching the logcat of crashing:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8I5Ow-gLRsWTDBNbG1WZkc0U3VwVmhSLW1OMzg3ZGg2MjJV/view?usp=sharing

Note: I'm on Android 6.0, from JDCTeam.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
Thanks for the feedback,

the crash is due to your customrom. There is a function which checks for a propietary value looking like this:

boolean bool = false;
if (Build.MANUFACTURER.toLowerCase().equals("samsung"))
{
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 22) {
bool = isMobileKeyBoardCoveredSamsung(paramContext);
}
return bool;
}
return isMobileKeyBoardCoveredNonSamsung(paramContext);

so your custom rom does not have this value, but still says in its build config that build.manufacurer is samsung, as a workaround you could edit your build.prop and change the value from samsung to JDCTeam-samsung or such thing, so it differs from stock samsung.

[MENTION=515513]ThaiM[/MENTION]:

I will take a look at the streaming issue as soon as my camera gets here, i think it is much easier for me to get the correct logs then :D Because your log does not seem to be the full log, it always stops after a few lines. See the post of joseccnet how a full log looks :D

It is working! I did the change as you suggest:

1) from ro.build.manufacurer=samsung to ro.build.manufacurer=JDCTeam-samsung

2) Reboot the phone

3) Open " Gear 360 Manager App" and bingo!. It ask me to power on the "Samsung Gear 360". I will wait to arrive my camera as you and test.

Don't worry, my cam arrived! :)

According to the reddit group this message is "normal", even with a compatible phone, so i assume a generic bug.

I've tested your mod on note 4, 5.0.1 and noticed the following bugs:

- live preview works until i mess around with the camera settings. there after it keep crashing. If you reset your camera settings to default before you enter live preview it should work.

- I am unable to save photos from camera to phone, however I can save videos to phone.

- Sharing doesn't seem to be working either

- Stitching doesn't seem to be working either

This version works now very good with my Xperia Z5 and also has now readable logos (quality of settings icons is not so good, but personally i don't care about that :D )

Known problems:

1.) If you have strange issues after updating the version please uninstall and then reinstall to start fresh!

2.) If livepreview does not work please check if the phone connects to the camera wifi while the "loading..." appears, i noticed that sometimes it does not, then you can manually connect to it and livepreview works!

Kind of almost there for me...

Gear360Manager-15062016v3.apk

It takes several attempts to open the app (complete clean install). Most of the time the app freezes on open. Sometimes it crashes on open.

I'm still trying to figure out this ADB logcat thing...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
The viewing of the files is done through bluetooth as far as i can say at the moment ;) So please go into settings of your android and check if you are really connected to the WIFI, i think you are not :D Because livepreview is going through wifi ;)

Best Regards
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
I see, i would really need to see the logcat of your device. You should not need root for that you only need a pc with adb working, then type

adb logcat > mylog.txt

and let it run some time. This should throw out a nice mylog.txt in your current folder.

Also try restarting your phone and please check if your phone connects to the cameras wifi in your android settings -> wifi! For me this was the "main" problem of black background and sometimes only a "loading...." screen.

Thanks for this, I will be keeping a close eye on this thread for when my Gear 360 arrives.

However it looks like I may still be able to use my Note 3 in the meantime, thanks!

Does it need to be adb installed, or will the apk install from file explorer? And does it work with older Kit Kat ROMs? (I kinda expect not) I'm still on 4.4.2 at present - mainly because it works fine and it would be something of a pain to do a full clean upgrade now, and anyway it doesn't have all of that naff Material Design crap.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
LOL, you posted that while I was running the test that come to the same conclusion. :)

I seem to recall the main issue I had with Lollipop on this device is that I'm running a kernel which enables Touch2Wake, but it has not been updated for anything beyond KitKat as the dev (Yank555) moved on to newer devices. I never did find a solution to make Touch2Wake work with newer Android versions on the Note 3 (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/help/touch2wake-similar-option-lollipop-note-t3245471).
