[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzo ferraro:
I have two extra batteries that I bought somewhere on the net, and both are Chinese counterfeits (not Korean) and don't hold much of a charge.

I wanted to get a new battery, and looked all around the net, and it appears that new charging cradles and new batteries are primarily coming out of China, and I think their qualities may be dubious by comparison with the real stuff. So it finally dawned on me today to check the LG website, and when I did I found new cradles and new batteries for only $20 each, which is cheaper than most of the stuff hawked on eBay & Amazon.

I just ordered a battery and a cradle, and LG automatically knocked down the price to $10 each (plus California sales tax), and they're on the way to me. I presume these items are the "real thing" and they're cheaper than anyplace I've been able to locate on the net.

Just wanted to let folks know in case you want to pick up either of these for backup or replacement.

You're welcome. Enzo
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ybregeon2016:
Hi guys,

I have a note 3 with latest Miui Beta (Marshmallow) and I usually use a program called Snappea to install or backup apk's on my PC. But there is an issue bothering me and I am searching for a solution to solve it, hoping someone on this forum will be able to help me. Everytime I install an Apk using a usb connexion, I have to give a permission to it then to finish the installation manually on the phone, issue that I dont have with other phone, like my Nexus 6. Is there a way to deactivate this option and to have all my apk's installed automaticaly without giving permission to each of them?

Thank you for any help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] goofball2k:
It used to be in settings -> Permissions -> click 3 dots in upper right corner and deselect Install from USB but that apparently is not in the MM Beta. It was in MIUI 8.0.1.0 stable which is what I was running and had to do to get it to stop prompting all the time when doing Titanium Backup.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] strk3r:
I have used MIUI 7 and 8 and CM13 ROMs. In all of this I have a major issue - after locking screen by pushing power button, mobile data working normal - I have notification, can search my device in android device manager, etc. But 5 minutes after - mobile data have stucked, but 3G icon is present. No notifications, no location. If I have pushed power button to have a lockscreen - all notifications and location got working immediately.

I have trying flash custom kernels, several radios from different versions of MIUI - no luck.

BTW, incoming phone calls working normally.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brbbX:
Hello all,

I've had my 6P since launch, and I've tried everything lately but my SOT has been poor (1h-1h30).

I've tried MM unrooted, Nougat unrooted, MM with Greenify, MM with Greenify and Amplify.

Basically the phone is rarely awake with screen off, but when the screen is on the battery just drains very quickly. I'm sure there's nothing keeping it awake, it just seems that the battery is "wasted" when I'm using it.

I installed ElementalX kernel to test, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkswind1:
That is really low for sure. Is your screen brightness cranked up? Playing a lot of games or cpu intensive apps?

Install betterbatterystats or gsam battery monitor to see what is draining the battery. If using gsam, ignore high usage of mediaserver unless it also shows high usage in your stock battery stats as well.

I believe ElementalX kernel is basically the stock kernel, but allows you to make more changes than stock with it's companion app, Ex Kernel Manager. I'd try Ninja kernel or Franco kernel instead.

If no apps show abnormally high usage with battery monitors it could be time for a battery replacement. They are only about $25 if you're comfortable opening it up.

That's odd I had same issue my thoughts are possible virus something that would turn off encryption.

Everytime I turned off my phone when it powered on it wouldn't ask for password after clean install it would for a few days but now with naugut and on a new wifi that haven't seen me before was able to get factory reset and be fine and my battery has gone from lasting barley 12 hrs with screen mostly off to having around 55 left at 10 hrs

right now I'm at 69% for 9 hrs have 22 hrs left.

Also check your top apps for use Microsoft office for Android was really killing my battery also.

Hello @ all

I just rooted the tablet just like it was described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/x98-air/development/x98plusandroid5-1mirek190v1-0-rom-t3342466/page1

Everything works fine and I'm happy to have a rooted Teclast X98 plus 3G model A6C9.

So far, so good. I have some problems with figuring it out how to install TWRP, because there is one for this tablet but I'm not sure, if it would work for my specific model A6C9. If I had a working recovery, I would install several things like Viper4Android or XposedFramework....I'm not even sure, if it works with 64bit x86, but it should , because there is already a ROM from Mirek with XposedFramework and Viper4Android...

Also I would like to know, how the software is working on this tablet, because there is a normal UEFI BIOS and a Bootloader which let us to pick an OS...but there is no recovery or something else. Would be very interesting to know something new about this piece of fascinating electronics...

What should I do to install my favorite applications on this tablet?

I'm very used to Viper4Android and the XposedFramework on my old HP Touchpad which has excellent speakers and even a newer Android (Marshmallow)

I would be very happy if anyone could explain it to me how it is done and tell my something more about the Teclast X98, I would really appreciate it ????

Thanks in advance !

[Touch GSM General] Haggar:
First - thank you to Carlos for his hard work on the original version and now for taking the time to update it for those of us using Sprint's touch. I'm starting this as a separate thread since the new beta version will have many issues unrelated to the original versions.

And, unfortunately, I get to start off with my first issue which occurs upon execution of the program.

A few moments after starting the program I get the follow error message...

And then the error message scrolls off the screen without scroll bar for me to see what else it says... :(

Upon clicking the "OK" button, the program continues to load to the App Launcher screen.

Upon load, the App Launcher screen is empty. The screenshot, icons, path and program title are not populated.

When I click on the empty box where the screenshot should be located I get the same as as before and the program exits.

I can populate the App name and path fields and can also ad an Icon -- but only for one program. When I save and reset however, the app name, path and icons are not retained.

When returning to the program after the first entry, I continue to receive the same error and the App Launcher screen is again blank.

In Media Hub:

First - the screenshot displayed is from the other version of the Touch screens...with the bluegreen icons -- not yellow. I assume you know that, but just wanted to mention it.

The "Sprint Music" fields default to the ATC Audio Manager which, to my understanding, does not come on the Touch. I've already installed AudioManager so the link worked fine -- but I'd suggest defaulting it to Sprint's Java-based Music ap just like the stock set up (less confusion for noobs)

Sprint TV seems to work as expected.

On Demand also worked as expected.

I changed the settings for On Demand to point to \windows\HTCAlbum.exe, however, and upon re-boot I received the following error when trying to run it from the cube:

(and that single quotation mark after the words "The file" is exactly what displays)

Weather appears to display properly. I haven't had a chance to test the auto update feature yet.

On the bright side - the About screen works perfectly. It's just as easy to send Carlos a beer as it was before!

Given that we'll soon have a Vogue forum started I also assume you'll probably want to update the Support Thread to include a link for "Sprint Support"??

Whew. That's all for the first 10 minutes. :)

THANK YOU CARLOS! Your hard work is appreciated!

ok well i made custom PNG's for Slingplayer mobile and opera, if anyone needs custom images let me know im makin em. BUt i need the sprint program to implement the images!
[Touch GSM General] utexascg:
the original "Touch Settings" program that you're referring to will work with the Sprint Touch without any problems. You just have to know what you're doing....

Step 1: Download TaskMgr and copy to your phone. Place TaskMgr in the \windows\start menu\programs\ folder of your device.

Step 2: Run the TaskMgr program you just put on your device. Upon opening TaskMgr, a list of running processes will be displayed. You want to terminate the following processes; biotouch.exe, quickdial.exe, mediahubmini.exe and aplauncher.exe. To do this, select each one individually and then tap the "Close" button on the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Download and install the TouchFlo Alpha cab below.

- 3a: upon successful completion of the installation you will be prompted to "Reset" your device. Click "NO".

4. navigate to the \windows\startup folder and delete any new links that were created.

5. navigate to the \windows\start menu\programs folder and delete "touchflo"

6. Download and install the Touch Settings Cab below. Again, at the completion of the installation it will prompt you to restart your device. SELECT NO!. You are not ready to reset your device just yet.

7. Now that you've killed the 4 processes, installed the touchflo alpha cab and the touch settings cab, we're almost done. Navigate to the \windows\startup folder and delete the mediahubmini link.

8. Soft Reset Device.

9. Launch "Touch Settings" program from the Start Menu.

10. BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE CUBE CLICK "SAVE". WAIT APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AND THEN SOFT RESET AGAIN.

11. Run Touch Settings again and start customizing.

Hope this helps.

Later
[Touch GSM General] abeery:
Not sure what and where to get these cabs... can you provide links? (especially first one)

TouchFlo Alpha cab? Touch Settings Cab (is ths 1.22 or 1.29?)
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Hi guys and thx Haggar and others for bug reports - I think I may have some theories as to what's going wrong.

I made a new test build for you to try out - the CAB is attached below. (REMOVED, SEE LATER POST FOR UPDATED VERSION) Please install and let me know how you get on. It should create a log file called log.txt in the app directory which you can attach to your post in case of any problems:

QUESTIONS:

1. Does it now work?

2. If not, what happens?

3. If not, please attach the log file.

4. When you go to the "About" screen, it says "Detected Device:" at the top - what is the detected device?

@utexas - I'm not sure what your instructions are referring to, but please ignore these peeps, as it would be best for us to try to get the app working properly with the Sprint without resorting to loading older versions of the TOuchFLO software onto your devices.

Finally, does anybody have a Sprint that they HAVENT yet installed Touch Settings onto? If so, please could somebody zip up a copy of \Windows\MediaHubMini.exe for me from your Sprint device and send it to me? This should be BEFORE installing any Touch Settings software, as this patches over the executable, and I'd like a copy of the NEW MediaHubMini.exe that comes with your device, so I can see if I need to release a new patch. If anyone has recently hard reset their device, then the file will be on your device unaltered.

Thanks for the nice comments peeps.

[Touch GSM General] mark1581:
Here you go Carlos. I have never installed Touch Settings on my Sprint Touch.

What exactly is Touch Settings? Could someone tell me, or point me to the original thread? Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] abeery:
Thanks Carlos... I've attached the log.txt file... still generating errors... looking for bitmaps (brns) that it cannot load... example... looking for \windows\AL_03.brn... this file is indeed located in the indicated location so not sure what the problem is...I tried to make and save a change to the launcher and now I get no images in the 3x2 launcher.
[Touch GSM General] Haggar:
Other than the time of day, his log file looks identical to mine...so I won't bother uploading...
[Touch GSM General] handlez:
same here. but what i figured out about "no images in the launcher" is the path are all set to "\\" instead of just one "\". so i use memmaid to fix it in the registry and the cube is fine again.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
OK everyone

Thanks for all the log files etc. It's now very clear what the issue is - simply that the newer version of the touch uses BRN files instead of PNG files for its icons! BRN is a proprietary format, basically a BMP with header information removed and some other changes; there's information elsewhere on this site about it.

So... ...to get Touch Settings working on the Sprint, I'll have to build BRN support into the program, which is going to involve:

1. Studying the file format and finding out more info. ([HREF="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=325424"]this thread[/HREF] is a good starting point)

2. OR approaching the author of the BMP2BRN program to ask if he'd allow me to use his source code inside Touch Settings.

....if anyone can help with either of these, please do! Touch Settings is written in vb.net CF.

Until then, might I suggest you go about trying to use .PNG files instead for the time being, and report back to the forum to let us know if they work instead of BRN files! I will release a new build of Touch Settings asap which side-steps the error messages and displays blank icons for the time being, just so as you can use the program.. ..it will work fine, it just won't display the icons for you!

Carlos

[Touch GSM General] ambush276:
lol i had a post earlier about PNG and BRN files. Basically i want to be able to just chang the icons text and path. I dont care about the BG color, how how the cube rotates. I made my own CUstom PNG's for the 3X2 launcher, and i made a custom one for the media hub. I made them all the same size on accident, but for the sprint touch do i need to convert the PNG's to BRN files then where do i save them in my phones directory?

anyone have the dimensions for the 3X2 and the media hub. I made them all

119 by 105. ?? Is there an easy way to change the size to the size for the media hub because i believe that is the size for the 3X2. Any help is appreciated!
[Touch GSM General] abeery:
Carlos,

I see from reading another thread you've already got the source code for "BrnConvert"... does this meet your needs or do you need anything else?

Let us know what we can do to aid your efforts... 1.29c was close but I had to clean up my registry to remove all the double slashes in the image and program paths and obviously the brn issue you noted...

Again thanks for you great work on this...

[Touch GSM General] KOTULCN:

[Touch GSM General] ojmbrooklyn:
Is version 1.29c worth installing at this point? Any recommendations??
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Hello everyone - I think I may be nearly there!

I've certainly got BRN support working on my original touch, anyway, so let's see if this new build works for you.

CAB file attached below, usual installation instructions apply. (see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=324556)

Please let me know if the icons are displaying correctly, and any other feedback re: usage. Should be the correct colour mediahub logo too!

Carlos

PS: Sprint owners, for completeness, you may want to copy the newer mediahubmini.exe into your \Windows\ directory (attached) as my prog overwrites it with a slightly older version. My tests have shown this shouldn't be a problem, but it's up to you. Note to older Touch users: do NOT use this newer version of mediahubmini.exe you will run into problems with your touch screen.
[Touch GSM General] ambush276:
so we install the cab then just replace the EXE file after.

also carlos, if i want to make my own icons

1. can they be the same size for the media hub and 3X2

2. Do they need to be BRN style, i made them PNG (but i can convert to BMP then to BRN.)

3. Where do i save them on my phone.

4. i have the sprint touch!

thanks carlos

installation unsuccessful

so i'm having trouble installing this program...i'm using memmaid to try and shut down mediahub, but it doesn't show up in memmaid...i can't delete it either, cause it says it may be write-protected...so i try just running the touch settings cab, and that doesn't work (installation unsuccessful)...I was able to load the old version manually previously (3x1 working, 3x2 not), but it seems I can't use the cab file directly...is there a manual way to install the new version? Anyone else having this problem?
[Touch GSM General] retrobits:
I used Task Manager 2.7 @ http://buzzdev.net/file.php?27,file=228

to kill mediahubmini.exe, then the cab file installed perfectly.

And... the program works great too! (beer has been bought)

thanks so much for this Carlos!
[Touch GSM General] ambush276:
what about the task manager already built into the touch the X button, or is that only on the sprint version? would that work for the prog?

also can someone answer my earlier post

Reinstalled original mediahubmini.exe

After successful Touch Settings 1.29d cab install, I reinstalled the newer mediahubmini.exe in the \Windows\ directory with the following results on my Sprint Touch...

Touchflo seems to have restored it's original touch sensitivity as it didn't seem to be the same (less sensitive) after Touch Settings install (maybe only a perception).

The screens and fonts on the Mediahub screen have been restored to their original state with slightly smaller fonts. The font on the lowest (#3) button ran off the screen prior to the reinstall.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Ambush

Glad it's working for you. In terms of icons for the 3x1 media hub, I'm not entirely sure about changing these, as the functionality isn't currently built into the 'Touch Settings' program to do this. I need to look into which bitmap files they're stored in and how the HTC apps display them, i.e. on top of the animation bitmaps? B0.BRN, A0.BRN and C0.BRN.... ....or not at all. I know from experience that the HTC apps don't always behave as you imagine they will.

What you also need to bear in mind is that, even if you change these, the animations of the cube rotating will still display the old icons, unless you change the individual animation files too. (\Windows\A0.BRN, A3.BRN, B0, C0, etc...)

One day, when I have time, I hope to develop Touch Settings further so that it automatically generates the BRN animation files. This has now come a step closer to reality with my integration of the brn file format into the code.

I'd actually like to know this myself! I know that you CAN'T use BRN icons on an older touch, but can you use PNG icons on the Sprint Touch? Try loading one in using the newest version of "Touch Settings", reset, see if it displays on the 3x2 APLauncher, and let me know.

In general, everything seems to go in the \Windows dir, but for icons you can probably put them anywhere on the device (pref. not storage card) and point "Touch Settings" to the right place.

Good. I wish I did. Or a Touch Dual. Now that'd be nice. Mmmmm ;-)

[Touch GSM General] abeery:
In MemMaid you need to show "processes" in order to stop mediahub

[Touch GSM General] ambush276:
ok i c what you are saying about the animations still displaying the old style. I guess my next question is..

if i install BRN files into my windows directory, like icon BRNS, will it still animate with the old Icons. What about if i copy the old icons to my desktop as a backup copy, and rename my new icons to the old icons? Will it then use those as the animations?? or if i just select the icons in touch settings and they are BRN's will the animations be ok?? just a question. Ive been using my friends touch to mod, because mine is in the mail... he is out of town right now, so i cant try it out?Anyone ?

BRN files not showing

On the Launcher page of Touch Settings, I have successfully changed the Application on the cube for Program 1, and the first icon can choose a brn file, however, when changing the highlighted icon (2nd icon from the left on the launcher page), only png files are selectable and brn files can't be previewed.

Am I missing something or is this an issue as the icon is viewable on the cube, but it does not highlight when selected.

Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] mza4:
I agree it appears that BRN support was only added for the default icon, the selected icon is still expecting a PNG file. Besides that it looks great. Thanks
[Touch GSM General] ambush276:
ok wait wait... Let me get this straight...

when i scroll onto the icon, its still PNG... But when i click on it or flip the cube, it ends up being a BRN file? What if i just make a icon and an icon_HL a BRN file. It will it pop up normal and animate well?
[Touch GSM General] pp18:
may i know whether the cube in Sprint Touch is same as Touch Dual? here's the version numbers i got from my Touch Dual (the Biotouch registry key):

APLauncher: 2.0.29038

BioTouch: 2.0.28597

MediaHubMini: 2.0.28927

MHubMiniWMPPlugInDLL: 2.0.28308

QuickDial: 2.5.28927

although i've manually set up my custom cube (in particular the applauncher targets and all images), i can't deny that it's a painful process which i don't want to do it manually again. it'll be great if the new Touch Settings runs on Touch Dual as well.

carlos if you're interested, i'm more than happy to tell the detailed manual steps so that you can code it into the program.
