[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nascar48:
How is 6-8 hours sot possible over 48 hours? I've tried different kernels, lineage/CyanogenMod, Pure Nexus, greenify, and even tried down clocking the CPU to 1.2 GHz or less at all times (shockingly, in normal use I couldn't tell the difference lol). Never got that much screen on time. I'm not even sure airplane mode would do that. My best was around 45 hours, but with about 3 hours of screen on time. And that was with the phone being less than 3 months old.

Currently I'm on stock Android, and getting 20 hours at best with 3 hours sot. At this point, I will say my battery is shot since it is a year old. But I'd love to see your settings and see if I could get close.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
Here are screenshots of my battery use from March. 3 days with 6.5 hours SOT. I keep my screen at a relative 20% or so (lower at night). I have very strong signal (major city) And I use wifi about 65-70% of the time. I also actively moderate my screen touches (yes, they do indeed matter). I turn off NFC and I don't use BT. I also actively purge misbehaving apps (I refuse to install some, like Facebook) Other than this, I can't really say. Perhaps, I just lucked out and got a cherry of a system (with the exception of my headphone jack not working with mics...Grrr... and my camera's image stabilization Causing blur at certain shutter speeds)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] JoRocker:
I'm confused about what update is out and for which phone model? My device has been acting a bit finicky at times...

I have build NPN25.137-33

Please provide link to update if ones available to flash manually (non rooted).

BTW anyone notice that retailers are already discontinuing carrying this phone?

I think the G5S is literally about to be released. Seems a bit odd. Also kind of sucks that this phone will be outdated so quickly...

I'm on day 7 of owning this... Should I return it?

Yes...saw all that. Nothing about an actual release date yet though. All still rumors and leaks. I was more focused on something available now, which was what the tangent discussion was about. Sorry for any confusion on my part.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] JoRocker:
No worries. I do think it'll be released soon. None of the best buys in my city are carrying any version. That's over 10 best buys. So if put money on it releasing this month.

I decided to go ahead and return this though. Kind of frustrated that it only has a January security patch, and still 7.0, despite it being released in February....

Got a cool deal on Swappa for $280 on a mint Axon 7 today. They've been getting regular updates, and have a great dev community!

Specs are much better too. I do love the fingerprint navigation on this Moto though. I'll miss that!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] markm75:
I have an edge that is unlocked by tmobile.. in the app, permanent unlock (tmobile unlock app), it says.. "unlock failed" but below says permanently unlocked, unlock approved.. my understanding is this is a normal message.

When i went to the ATT store to test a sim.. they use their live sim, put it in, try to make a phone call but simply said it didnt work, isnt unlocked, which i dont think is right.. issue is i didnt see what if any error message there was.

Is there some step that the att rep should have done to get this on the att network besides putting it in the phone?

Thanks in advance for any info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] markm75:
edit: appears a special sim is needed, at least according to an online rep.. i was told to have them look up the IMEI with the MyCSP tool in the store to determine which sim.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twinikita:
Been at this all day.

I managed to root the device when it was running Android 6.0. Updating to 7.0 (B378) removed root, as expected I guess.

My two main problems now are

1) Camera, keyboard and pretty much all other huawei apps are gone. I've desperately been flashing update files through dload but nothing helps.

2) TWRP only worked on 6.0. When I flash it with fastboot on 7.0, then try to reboot into recovery either via adb or by holding the phone buttons down, it just says "Your device is booting now" forever.

My goal is this: Stock android 7.0 (stock as in official from huawei, with emui), and working TWRP so I can install viper4android.

Speaking of viper, I've noticed that (coming from a now broken nexus 6p), the bluetooth headset audio quality on the p9 is extremely poor compared to the nexus. I'm hoping viper can help with that.

I'm sorry as I'm sure there's a guide out there somewhere that will help me with this, but I've been at this for 10+hrs and I can't take it anymore! :(

Also, I'm on a Mac with no access to Windows, making this a tad more difficult as well.

Any and all suggestions are highly appreciated, thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power Ranger:
Hi,I wonder if anyone can help me out - I factory reset my GT-I9505 (stock rom -Android 5.01 Lollipop - never rooted).

The problem is that I would like to recover my sms messages - and I didn't use an app from the Play Store to backup first.

I did though make a copy of my 'Phone' folder onto my Linux desktop. I thought this would give me a complete copy of the phone's internal memory including hopefully the sms messages that I need - and that I could copy the files back to the phone.

I can't see any sms / mms database in this copy - I can't even see any sms database in the phone currently when connected to the computer - probably because phone is not rooted.

I was able to recover a lot of other files and photos from this 'backup' - perhaps the sms database was not permitted to be copied to the PC.

Is there any way that I could restore the messages do you think?

I would be happy to root the phone or use adb or other software - I suppose it all depends on whether I actually have a copy on the computer ( not sure if I have or if it is hidden in some way - I thought Linux would see all the files.

Grateful for any advice you can offer.

Power Ranger
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Your "backup" consisted of copying files from the internal storage and/or microSD card to your computer. However, text messages are not saved on any of those. They are saved on the /data partition of your device, in an XML file, which you have wiped during your factory reset.

Long story short, your SMS are forever lost. Next time use an app for this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power Ranger:
Thank you

Pwnycorn,

thanks for replying to my query.

I know I messed up but just wondered if there was still a way to recover the sms.

No-one would want a phone that left personal data still on the phone after a factory reset, so I think I knew the answer all along - but sometimes it's worth asking someone with expert knowledge of these things, just in case there is something that can be done.

Anyhow I appreciate you taking the time to reply and advise.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DaddyWhale:
I would like to find a good note taking app for the S3. One that takes advantage of the stylus.

So far, I've tried Microsoft OneNote and an app called LectureNotes. I've not liked OneNote because of poor palm rejection. LectureNotes is pretty good. But it's a bit unintuitive. Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] desperate:
Squid is very good for writing but poor text input feature.

but I think Squid is the best one out there.

You can write with S pen and delete with finger
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] undrwater:
I'm using OneNote because it seems to be the only note taking app that will allow me to create forms I can write on.

It's true, the palm rejection on this app is not the greatest. I've trained myself to dip the tip of the pen toward the screen first, which will tell OneNote to begin palm rejection. Using that methodology, the annoyances are reduced.

I'm still on a hunt for something though, so I'll post here if I find something that works, or will visit to see if someone else has a good solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ckelly33:
I use both squid and OneNote. I think squid is my general go-to but I like that OneNote is sync'd across all of my devices (multiple platforms).

As opposed to the post above, I have my squid settings a little different. I use the side button for erasing and my finger for navigating.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DaddyWhale:
Thank you for the suggestions. I've now had a chance to play around with Squid, OneNote and LectureNotes. For my needs, LectureNotes is best. Here are some comparisons.

1. I like OneNote for its integration with OneDrive and the MS Office Suite. But poor palm rejection makes it unusable for me.

2. Squid is very easy and intuitive to use. Compared to it, LectureNotes has almost too many features and setting. What I don't like about Squid is the pricing model: to unlock customizability features you need to buy a monthly/yearly subscription. If they had a one-time pay option, I would have bought it.

3. LectureNotes has a steep learning curve (for a note taking app). When I first tried to create a new notebook and just start using my S pen, I was not able. Could not figure out what I had done wrong. But then I more carefully created a new notebook. Everything started working fine.

You may want to check out MyScript Nebo preview. It can convert your handwritten notes to text if you want or need. Something to check out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leojab:
You can also try out app "HandWrite Pro Note & Draw". It seems quite good as well..

I have tried MyScript Nebo in other platforms and can assure you it is a wonderful note taking app. Just waiting for it to get more stable.

In squid I use my finger to erase not the side button, but I don't think you can change the button.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Eike81:
I do highly recommend "NEBO Preview". I have used OneNote and a few others but NEBO lets you export to MS Word and has an incredible writing recognision in various languages that you can download. Additionally you can note math and it recognises those as math and is able to solve those for you.

Onenote seems to have been updated and works much better for palm rejection in my limited testing. Can someone confirm from their side?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sphere314:
Even if I've always appreciated the high level of customization of LectureNotes, I think that Onenote should be the preferred way for me to go for writing handwritten notes during my Math lessons, sharing them with my students and storing them in some cloud (Onedrive).

Last year Onenote worked ok with a Windows 10 Microsoft Surface tablet on which I've installed the full version of Onenote (I think Onenote 2013).

But, unless I'm missing something, writing notes in the Galaxy Tab S3 with the free but rather limited Android version of Onenote is not good enough for the lack of some basic tool as "select some ink" (lasso select) and move/copy/cut/delete it or a tool like "insert space".

I can't understand why these two very basic tools aren't offered in the Android version (it seems they are available in the iPad version, at least the lasso selection).

Hopefully they will be added in future upgrades of the app.

But for now I'm afraid I'll have to do with my (much heavier and cumbersome) Surface for writing notes in the classroom giving up using the much more lighter and agile Tab S3.

I'm really enjoying the features of Squid but just learned that it will not sync across devices. Very disappointed. Wondering if s pen features will be as easy in Evernote...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] starbuckk:
This is a bit of an old thread. Did the OP make a choice? I'm using a combo of ported S-Note and Lecturenotes just like I had on my 10.1 and have on Note 4. S-note is overall nicer and syncs with Evernote but won't allow making a widget out of a note unless you use Touchwiz. Lecturenotes does do that and has a lot of customization power but needs something like foldersync to synchronize with my Note 4 and can only be viewed on pc or Evernote by creating a PDF.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jsalatas:
I use S Note https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.snote for two main reasons

1) It supports handwriting recognition and so I can search for my notes

2) I can sync my notes between my Tab S3 tablet and Note 8 phones through owncloud (I don't use any other 3rd party cloud storage providers as I prefer to have my files saved in my own hard disks)

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] seal:
I tried them all and ended up with Onenote because I can access it anywhere including my note 8 phone. I like that Snote can Convert to text although when I do so the formating, text size and spaceing is for me so out of wack. With OneNote I can select and convert to text on computer if I need to do so for say meeting notes. I Just wish it would work on the screen off Memo.

I got the Tab S3 specifically for note taking. I've been using Samsung Note app which came installed. I've sat through days of meetings with a a number of clients and have had no issues taking handwritten notes. I can then convert them to PDF and transfer them to my laptop over Bluetooth.

I'm really like S Notes and all the backgrounds available. Can't believe how bad Samsung Notes is by comparison. I see I also got the latest version of Samsung Notes but I can't see what new, if any, functionality it has. Seems to be the same poorly written app.

I tried to get Inkredible Pro to work from the Secure Folder but it kept complaining about not being purchased even though I purchased it from the Play store. Anyone know how to get it to work from the Secure Folder? For now I refunded it until I can figure out how to get it to work from the Secure Folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] corb06:
I also went over to S Note instead of Samsung Notes. S Note looks like its much higher resolution? I think the askew lines look much better in S Note than in Samsung notes where they look more jagged. Installed the S Note with apk files downloaded from apkmirror. Latest versions didnt work, think its because they are made for Oreo, but S Note_5.2.05.1. works just fine.

But I still have Samsung Notes installed to be able to do Screen-Off memo quickly. I hope when Oreo arrives S Notes will be standard app on the Tab S3. Or that they make Samsung Notes better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sjrixon:
I've a Note 8, but been having the same battle. What to use!

My plan was OneNote. But, it's not as nice to write in as either Samsung Notes or S Notes. And you don't have the erase feature on the button, which is a huge miss for me.

Samsung Notes is very nice, I love screen off Memo features, the sorting and general feel of the app. But now my notes are 'stuck' on the Note and I have to manually transfer them should I want to do anything further.

S-Note is pretty good. Doesn't support screen off. But I've just been able to install the samsung app on my laptop, so I can now review my notes on the laptop, which for me is a huge step forward.

This wasn't the nice coherent note taking experience that I was expecting with such a premium device.
