[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] hcd43:
Hi guys, I'm new here so please bear with me. Also, I know this is mainly Android website, so sorry in advance.

I have Nokia Lumia 520 for 3 years straight, not yet unlocked, modded or anything. And I know I should buy more powerful Android phone, but this phone is dear to my heart and I don't want to replace it. But here is the deal there are no new apps, old ones don't get new updates (lately even Facebook apps don't work, iE is shutting down by itself). So I was thinking that I should "upgrade" it somehow (read a bunch of posts about my Lumia running on latest Android OS, not yet stable, but if it is capable of doing this, it can do more than this ****ty 8.1)?

Any advice is welcome! Tutorial links for unloking, modding and everything else are welcome too!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] MantisTheJunkrat:
Hi, first time posting here, so tell me if I miss anything out. After a few weeks of using my phone I've ran into a problem that it can't make or receive calls and neither sends nor receives sms messages, but mobile data works just fine. The only momentary solution I've found so far is placing my sim card into a different slot and not setting it to 3g/4g, then the calls and sms work properly, but it automatically sets to 3g/4g some time later. Have sent the phone to warranty repairs and they just reinstalled my android, which didn't help any. Also the sim card is not the problem since it works in other devices and no card works in the honor I have. Any ideas what might be wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] delsuppr:
Hello,

With the new interface we have 3 screens

AOD

Lock Screen

Dock screen

Ok when we want to change wallpapers we have

Wallpapers

Infinity live paper

Yes why not, but the infinity are both for the dock and lock screen. If i want a picture for the lock and a live wallpaper for the dock. How can i do that.

Impossible. The only way is to have a live wallpaper that u can open in the drawer and go to the list !!! fantastic no !! (see my screenshot)

Same for the lock screen

Before we can add widget on it like sahk widget and shortcuts. effects on the lock was ripple effects and firefly. Now we can't. No widget, no effect, if someone have an idea. It will be cool because the lock screen on th market seems not to be fine
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
Live wallpapers are fun but my experience has always been that they degrade the overall performance of the phone. I installed Google Wallpapers and it automatically cycles wallpapers once a day. I may try the live wallpapers again but in my opinion they aren't worth the performance hit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] H_L:
I have a HD live wallpaper on my galaxy s8 and I see no degration in performance and it sucks very little battery to the point I can't really notice it. The issue I have is I can't seem to have a live wallpaper on my lock screen as I can't see an option in the settings. On my galaxy s5 I could have both a live wallpaper on my home screen and a different live wallpaper on my lock screen but on the s8 I can't seem to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrjoy:
From where i can change 3rd party live wallpaper?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] prodigyX:
I use "Hologram Background" to set my homescreen with a 3D live wallpaper, and I leave my lockscreen with a static wallpaper. No performance or noticeable battery degradation whatsoever when used with Nova Launcher. You can also set a live wallpaper for the lockscreen only, and static for home if you want.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardana:
My girlfriend accidentally dropped her idol on the floor (the 4.7 inch version) and the screen broke immediately. This was the first time ever she dropped her phone, and the screen immediately burst. So it must be really vulnerable to dropping.

Anyway, the phone still starts up fine, it's just the touch screen doesn't work now...

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Preferably the cheapest way (which is not sending it back to Alcatel for repair).

Please include links to what I have to buy in order to repair it. Thanks!

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
Just a general comment, coming from my own personal experience (Electronics Engineering degree, and years of hands-on assembly and repair work on all kinds of devices)... If you can buy a screen/frame assembly, it's always a better option in terms of overall cost, time and a quality of work. Anything involving a heatgun, glue, hand soldering of SMT components, etc., is a lottery for a non-experienced person. You may very well do it perfectly, but don't bet on it. I have repaired screens on more than a dozen of different phones, from older HTCs to Galaxy S2, to some LGs and Sony Xperias. Went through replacing just a screen, as well as swapping the entire screen/frame assemblies, depending on what I could find on the market, and for how much. Unless you really know what you are doing (but then you wouldn't ask for an advice :)), I recommend taking an easier route. By spending a bit more on assembly, you'll save yourself time and a lot of work that may or may not yield a good result...

Just my personal opinion, which some people may disagree with... :) As always, YMMV. Good luck with your repair!

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Lennis01:
I'm thinking about unlocking and rooting my P2 because I want to change the off screen cpu speed and cores activated. Is it possible with the stock kernel? I've been using kernel audior on my LG G4 and there was a setting to limit the amount of active cores when the screen was off. I cannot check it myself on the P2 because kernel auditor won't start without root.

The reason why I want to change this is that I listen a lot to Spotify and audio books and looking at cpu monitor applications the all say that all 8 cores are running att 600mhz all the time. It drains my battery a lot faster than I think is needed. On my LG G4 I forced only max 2 cores to be active when screen is of and i hade no trouble att all. No stuttering etc. Is it possible to fix this with root or do I need a custom kernel? I know no custom kernel exists.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] dannejanne:
I think we will need a custom kernel for this, unfortunately. I want a custom kernel for color correction

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Marko5:
Hi guys,

Recently I cleared data on Updater appliaction and I have no idea if the reason is exactly this or not, but I have no received OTA update for Nougat. My model is VNS-L21C432B161 and live in Macedonia.

I would appreciate if some expert point me out if this is the reason why I don't get the OTA or clearing data on Updater is not serious problem?

Aslo, I would like to ask someone with root on his P9 Lite to extract updater.apk, version should be 17.4.17 and upload, so I can reinstal. On Google can't be found.

Thanks to all of you. You doing great job helping ppl.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] paulo_andre:
I recently upgraded my wizard from a wm6 rom to another and started to notice the battery indicator dropping much faster if I'm on EDGE networks (but maybe also with GPRS, I'm not sure). Since I didn't flash to the official rom before, I thought I had the common battery drain, so I did this: full backup using spb backup, remove hardspl, flash to original qtek rom, hard reset, flash updated radio rom, softspl, flash to wm6 rom, hard reset, restore previous full backup.

The problem is that I'm still noticing the battery going down faster than before. I'm not sure about it, because with this new rom I have a more reliable way to measure the battery, but before flashing all over again and reinstalling every single program (lots of time) I wanted to ask if my method of flashing does solve the battery drain problem (and therefore this is normal for this rom) or if this method does not solve the problem and I have to do everything without the full backup.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
- check if processor speed is always high. Latest BatteryStatus allows variable speeds according to the needs of the OS - calls it CPU scaler;

- check if bluetooth or infra-red are turned ON as they drain some energy;

- check the backlight. Mine is always at the minimum and works fine in almost all occasions (except under bright sun light)

- disable Today timeout

- check power drain with a new battery (if you can get one)

that's all i can think of. maybe others can think of other reasons.

good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] paulo_andre:
maybe I didn't explain all... I know what can cause greater battery usage, and I try to avoid it, but comparing the previous rom with the new one it seems the new one uses more battery. I also know this can be a "feature" of the new rom and I don't mind about it, because it's really much better. What I want to make sure is that the battery drain is not caused by improper flashing, because that's just wasting battery for nothing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
ah, right.

I don't think there's such a thing as 'improper flashing' when the new ROM works ok. Except for not performing a hard-reset afterwards i guess nothing can cause that kind of power draining, although some have mentioned corrupted extended-rom but i can't vouch for that
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] edsub:
Currently I DO think there is something like 'improper flashing'.

I've read about it in another topic as well.

Since I upgraded to WM5SE rev4 I suffer from a severe battery drain.

For some time I suspected my dual sim adapter (did change to that one about the same time as upgrade), but even without adapter the drains stays wel above 100ma!

Until now i have eliminated all other possibilities.

The best way to upgrade to any custom rom appears to be:

- Flash to an official ROM

- Flash the custom ROM.

I seems to have something to do with the ExtROM that sometimes get 'a bit' corupted causing tha battery drain. Flashing an official ROM makes sure youre device is all fresh before getting the custom things on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] paulo_andre:
ok, but I already did that. The problem is that I'm still seeing some battery drain, especially if I'm on an EDGE network. I just wanted to know if restoring from a full backup using spbbackup after flashing properly could be the reason or if I must find another cause.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Sometimes can be a Today plugin that is performing some task all the time and that might cause battery drain.

there used to be old topics on that matter so i guess you must dig and raise some dust to get it clear :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] paulo_andre:
now that you mention it... there is a new plugin in this rom, I'll disable and test. But I still find strange that when I'm on gprs the battery drain is almost inexistent, but on edge is really big
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] arp:
Did you solve your problem?

I can't!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] + Que PPC:
I have experience some issues

When I started trying PDA VIET Roms i feel like I got a new device cause it has superior speed but its caused by An app called OmapClock PLUS that enables an overclock, thats why the speed but it has too many batt drain... so i leave the PDA Viet Roms... I always first downgrade to an original ROM Wm5 then upgrade to a Custom and then hardreset... of course sometimes with a batt at 55% (enough to flash) but Mr SVI on his first release BrightRom has too much Batt monitor... it causes too a batt drain cause the reload constantly by itself to show batt drain... disable all. and no more problems jeje even on his Hornet v1.1 it has drain for me.

Somebody tolds me that I need to reflash my device with a batt at 100% but i didn't prof that solution so if you like to check that. tell us how is it going.

Hope it was usefull.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Hi everyone.

Today I have a brand-new issue with titanium (and even other backup apps, coz I tried).

ROM B360, rooted, BusyBox installed.

Till yesterday I could restore and backup apps.

This morning, I don't know why, titanium is opening normally but restoring app is impossible. The process starts and it gets stuck on the restoring window. I have to force stop the app.

If I back up something, it says ok, but the size of the app inside the backup folder is very small, as if it was not properly backed up.

I tried both with the internal storage and the ext card backup folder, just to see if the problem was the SD card. Same issue. (I fixed the permissions to write even in ext card and it worked till yesterday...)

Anyone with a possible solution?

For example if I try to uninstall from titanium, it says that the app is uninstalled but it is still visible on the drawer app and on the launcher.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
I substitute teach in our local school district and as a retired electrical engineer, my favorite subject to teach is High School Math. I find myself shaking my head at the students who will ask me for help on a problem, and in the textbook is a step by step explanation with an example problem almost identical to the one about which they have asked. The only differences are the values of the variables. But even in the other subjects I teach, whether it be World History or Agriculture Sciences, kids will come to me for help expecting me to give them the answers rather than taking time to do the required reading. It never works but they keep trying (The often quoted cliché about insanity comes to mind here). I just point them to the correct page(s) in the book and send them back to their seats.

I see the same approach by many users in these forums. Jump into flashing a custom ROM without reading all of the instructions then ask for help to correct the mess they have made without giving all of the required information. What is even worse is they compound the offense by showing attitude when asked to follow procedures. I don't get it. I understand that we all need a helping hand at times but it seems that many people are not willing to put any work or effort into anything. They want everything spoon fed to them and more often than not without giving a full picture of the problem they are having.

I guess it is a snapshot of the world in which we live.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] RaidenHUN:
Hi guys!

I have an issue here with the Huawei P8. I wanted to go back to stock from ARROW ROM, so

-I used Huawei Extractor to get the stock recovery and flashed it via fastboot adb

-Updated my phone with the 3 button method and put the DLOAD folder into my SD card

-I used B394 to get the recovery img and to update as well (it was ~1,6Gb)

The update started and everything worked fine, the phone said everything is fine but my phone stuck in bootloop. I mean it doesn't restart or anything but all I can see is the Huawei logo.

What should I do? Any tips how to fix this?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] GaT7:
First try getting into Recovery mode & doing a factory reset & cache wipe.

If that doesn't work, try with a stock rom that's one prior to what you had before installing Arrow - like in this thread & follow the steps there (i.e. you first need to flash boot, system & recovery .img files extracted from the prior rom): [GUIDE] How to unbrick HUAWEI P8 when failed to update and ends in bootloop

If you cannot find where to download the prior stock rom, ask for help - someone may be able to provide a link that works. Tell us your phone's full, original model number (GRA-????), the region rom you need (e.g. C432 would be European) & the version B???.

Did you unlock the bootloader yourself? If so, you know enough about fastboot to relock the bootloader.

Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number) we can see the CID, and determine what RUU (if that CID has one).

Or the other option to go back to Sense Marshmallow, is to restore a stock TWRP backup as suggested. Here is another thread of such stock TWRP backups, and this one has better instructions:

EDIT: Fixed the link above, which was clearly not the right one (intended for a reply to a different thread).

While the post was not particularly polite (nor is he required to be so), I do agree with the main point: if you are flashing custom ROMs, you really should have researched how to return to stock. I see that a lot of folks skip this (you aren't the only one, by far), but I also don't see why they do. Would you take apart your car's engine without knowing how to put it back together? Probably not.

Along those basic lines (good rules of thumb for phone modding), if you had simply made your own backup of the stock ROM

before

flashing a custom ROM; you could simply just restore that backup in order to revert to stock. It's a basic good practice:

never

do any mods (root, custom ROM) without first making a TWRP backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasinsamara1273:
Thank you and yes. I should have known better before flashing an RR ROM I didn't search for it because i thought it was simple
