[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] nForce:
I've read a lot of topics from people wishing to downgrade their SPL because they wan't to go back to the original ROM to send their device to service! (especially o2 Neo owners ;))

If they tried to install the original ROM it stucked at 95% because of the SPL. Most time the users had a newer SPL (because of installing a ROM including a newer SPL) than shipped in the original ROM, and so the upgrade fails. (for example o2 Germany ROM got SPL 2.15, and with install of NVID you get 2.20). I've had the same problem ;) if i cut of the SPL from the o2 ROM i could flash it, so it's definatively bacause of the SPL. "Higher SPL always wins" somebody in the forum already said ;)

BUT NOW you can downgrade SPL!

Just flash HardSPL http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=350033 and after that you can flash ANY SPL you want!

I've already tried it and could flash back to original o2 WM5 including SPL flawlessly!!! :D

If somebody could confirm this for G3 i'll change the topic title!

Maybe this could be a sticky, cause there are so often people asking for downgrading SPL!

Anleitung auf Deutsch!

Um einen o2 Neo wieder mit dem originalen o2 ROM bespielen zu könne ist es nötig den SPL Bootloader zu ändernm, da sonst der Updatevorgang bei 95% stehen bleibt und abbricht!

Dies ist nun möglich!

Man lädt sich aus oben genanntem Thread die Datei "Update_Package.zip" und entpackt diese. Dann geht man in den Ordner "\HardSPL\HardSPL G4" und startet (wenn der Neo am PC angeschlossen ist!!!) die Datei "HardSPL.bat".

ACHTUNG: Das ist nur für G4 Geräte (beim booten bei IPL und SPL mit der Endung .0001)

Der Bildschirm bleibt bei dem Flashvorgang weiss (war zumindest bei mir so!) also keine Panik!

Danach sieht man beim booten vom Neo bei SPL die Version "2.G4.4PDA"

Diese Version lässt sich nun mit JEDER beliebigen SPL flashen ("überschreiben"). Man kann danach also das Originale o2 ROM flashen und erhält den darin befindlichen Bootloader SPL 2.15.0001.

Der positive Nebeneffekt des 2.G4.4PDA Bootloaders ist, das man WM6 ROMS direkt wie Originale ROMS flashen kann.

Ich kann die Installation des HardSPL daher nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Mfg

I have say "Higher Version number wins" this was to a time ... HardSPL wasnt Developed for Prophet.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] John-Wu:
hi nForce,

could you please give a "step to step" advice in German for all German newbies? it would be great.

Thanks

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
first ... CID Unlock ... Secound ... Flash SPL!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] zeroed:
dude,you have found the hot water,nothing new,allready discussed in other threads,no need to start a new one.

netrunnerat,if prophet is G4,how you will CID unlock it? :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] varanusvincent:
I have found this way as a knew for around a week,since there is hard SPL at this Forum for the first time..

anyway just to inform you.. You can install XDA NEO BMW RACE Edition ROM too , if you HARD SPL your device..

:D:D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] duato:
that rom sound cool:) is it any unique or special features/function bout the rom?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] John-Wu:
one question:

do i get it right, that we only have to do a HardSPL once? Or do we have to make a HardSPL each time after update to a newer SPL an want to have a lower SPL again?

thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] nForce:
if you overwrite SPL you have to do it again
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] nForce:
I know that but I wanted to make a "clear" topic for people searching for "downgrade SPL"!!! cause many people are searching for or asking always the same question.

I didn't wanted to show something new. Just give some people a CLEAR hint!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] ufriendxda:
I've tried to flash IPL/SPL 2.20 after flashed HardSpl on my G3 XDA Neo, but failed, the Spl 2.20 G3 4PDA not changed to Spl 2.20.0000. Then I flashed PRO_DT_WWE_220734_2207114_026121_Ship, and this was succeeded: the Spl 2.20 G3 4PDA changed to Spl 2.20.0000.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] elFahd:
excuse me i have a g3 ipl and spl 3.08

will downgrade to 2.20 (the newly posted one) wont brick my phone?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] John-Wu:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sukumar Ballavolu:
Hi,

This is Sukumar. I have been using custom roms on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2(N7100) and there are times when I missed few important things while flashing roms(ex: missed few contacts as I forgot to take a backup). I thought it would be better if the roms can be tested on emulators which helps in building confidence about the stability of the rom.

I need a way to test the roms to make sure that the rom can be a daily driver so that can be flashed on my physical device.

Can you please suggest me if there is a way to test roms with an emulator on windows pc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkyway3:
Nox is the best android emulator on pc according to my knowledge

You can download it from the official website and try it out

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just_magikkal:
Nox is by far the best. Imma list the ones I tried on a Windows 8 with 2GB RAM that didn't work:

Windroy

Andy-roid

i might've tried droid4x, I forgot

don't use those, they either are incredibly slow or flat out do not work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sukumar Ballavolu:
I just want to go through the features of the rom..

Anyway, I came to a conclusion that I need to use my physical device to test the rom which can give me better idea of where the rom can be broken.

[Samsung Gear S3] blackspp:
Let's investigate the hourly battery drain!

To start it, mine after 5 days of usage is close to 3% per hour.
[Samsung Gear S3] ScottyKnox:
Your results will be varied. You really need a lot of information to compare usage and battery drain.

1. LTE vs no LTE

2. If LTE what is your signal strength (can be negligible or a huge battery drainer)

2. BT state

3. Wifi State

4. Location Setting On/Off

5. AOD state (the number 1 battery drainer)

6. Tilt to wake state

7. Amount of notifications/calls/text

8. Screen Brightness

This is a tough are to analyze unless you have everyone state what their setup is like. You will have people that use minimum settings and report 4 days. The people that use all features and get 1 day will wonder why they are not getting 4 days use. Until you compare similar setups and usage don't get overly concerned with what others are getting.

My setup:

1. Version LTE (T-Mobile)

2. Mobile Network set to Auto (I am in a strong coverage area) ( I leave my phone on my desk and go into stand alone mode several times a day)

3. Call Forwarding On

4. AOD On

5. Tilt to wake Off

6. Location On

7. Wifi Off

8. emails~25, text~15, calls answered on watch~2 (1 minute calls)

With those setting I get 3 - 3.5% battery drain per hour. Full day use 7am - 11pm I put it on the charger with about 50% battery remaining.
[Samsung Gear S3] blackspp:
Frontier BT version

Aod off

Brightness 2

Dark watchface

Wifi off

Location on

BT always on

~50 messages/d

~10 phone calls/d

1 hour/d playing with new apps and stuff

1 hour/d running or exercising
[Samsung Gear S3] retnuh730:
GS3 Classic BT

1. no LTE

2. N/A

2. BT connected

3. Wifi when BT disconnects (never)

4. Location Setting Off

5. AOD on

6. Tilt to wake state enabled

7. Amount of notifications/calls/text - 30 notifications/hour

8. Screen Brightness - level 3

Close to about 4%/hour with the AOD. I wish we had a way to disable seconds display in AOD because that would probably save some power.

Really kinda roughly the same energy drain of my Moto 360, Huawei watch, and Gear S2. I expected better. Still a sweet watch tho.
[Samsung Gear S3] Outbreak444:
1. T-Mobile LTE

2. If LTE is on I use about 10% battery/hr because of crap signal

2. BT auto (primary method of connection)

3. Wifi auto

4. Location On

5. AOD off

6. Tilt to wake on

7. Notifications from phone only if not using the phone

8. Screen Brightness at 8

With that I get about 3 to 4 days of battery life on average (excluding using any LTE).

With LTE enabled I would expect a lot less, where I intended it to be on, at my place of work, it's constantly searching for a signal or has a horrible connection possibly helping to drain the battery. Not sure how it would perform where I have a good signal strength though.

**Edit**

Also, now that I don't use LTE while at work, I use airplane mode and I lose about 1% max every 3 hours.
[Samsung Gear S3] the_scotsman:
I get around 3.5 - 4% per hour. But I have EVERYTHING maxed.

max brightness

max volume

AOD

vibration

location on

wifi auto

bluetooth connection to phone

All s health tracking (steps, HR etc)

weather sync every hour

all notifications (email, SMS, Whatsapp, Google, Facebook, Instagram etc)

[Samsung Gear S3] blackspp:
Another observation, at night, lying on the table, it consumed 5% in 11 hours giving 0.45% drain.
[Samsung Gear S3] kierro:
My first week with the S3. Came of charge at 7am on Monday and lasted until Saturday 7am. This represent a drain of less than 1% per hour.

AOD and tilt wake-up off

Brightness at 7 with dark watch face

Bluetooth on for notifications and weather

Wi-Fi off

Tracking sleep at night

Not tracking anything else

Location off

Amazing watch. I love the size. I miss the s2 classic impeccable build quality but battery and GPS tracking are too good to skip.

My main issue with the s2 battery was the drain when listening to mp3 on Bluetooth headset. The s3 still drains quickly but not as fast.
[Samsung Gear S3] reglaspv:
From 100% to 84% - 24h so, less than 1%

Non-LTE

AOD off

tilt wake-up on

Brightness at 6 with relatively dark watch face (Alpha Dark)

Bluetooth on for notifications and weather

Wi-Fi off (on if BR disconnect)

Tracking sleep at night

S-health - tracking steps, floors, etc

HR on

Location off

S-Voice off
[Samsung Gear S3] Ismo:
It consumes about 1% / hour whilst I'm wearing it during sleep, so about double that.
[Samsung Gear S3] blackspp:
I have to say this watch is totally not consistent with a lot of things. I can live with it for now but for example I walked about 20 floors today (12x3 meter + 5 or 6 times 4 meter at work plus just now 2x4 meter at home) and the stuoid watch counts 3 floors. What a mess. It also keeps insisting I live eiher 18 meters below sealevel or 20 above and hilariously I did a run yesterday showing an elevation of -112 meters.
[Samsung Gear S3] SirBindy:
Just got my S3, so I'm not goin to chime in yet. The first week or two will be brutal for the battery because I'll be in "ooooh new toy" mode. Once my usage settles down to casual, I'll have a good idea of battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachineZZ:
Hello, I wanted clean flash stock rom on my Galaxy S5 G901F so I did that using Nand Erase All and I did it 2 - 3 times to try different Regions. After the flash was done I was getting "device memory error: the data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory defaults. This will erase all your data." After I pressed the button everything was erased and it was working fine. Did I do any harm to my device ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AptLogic:
If it was just a partition corruption you should be fine. This is usually just a problem in the partition tables that the phone can't fix without wiping everything and rebuilding all the partitions on the device.

After you run a NAND Erase All, it is usually a good idea to import a PIT using Odin so it can rebuild the partitions correctly.

I don't know exactly what I did, my on forums of LG G3 a man posted 2 lines of comand that you can write on ADB. I think that these commands fixed my problem. But I tried lot of methods, so i can't say with conviction.

Couple of issues I've been having since running the CM14.1 rom:

Call/voice issues with a caller ringing me, I can hear them, they can't hear me. I hang up, call them back then both can hear fine.

Some slowdown/lag issues, random times when the phone just slows to a crawl.

[Oppo R7 Plus] kishd:
No apps on SD. Though the way they disappear is reminiscent of a broken SD. Just updated to the 13 nightly and all seems fine. Will wait and see.

So in a disorganised, unscientific way I narrowed the problem down to having used an icon pack. Without the icons everything seems fine.
[Oppo R7 Plus] rch.aj34:

Until it eventually gets fixed in the coming days.
[Oppo R7 Plus] PassiTheApe:
I´m still using the 31/10 build but my apps keep disappearing as well. I think the phone sometimes thinks the SD card is out, so all apps that are stored on it are removed from their folders and I can find them only in the app drawer. Don´t know if its fixed in newer builds.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Jarno666:
