Titanium Backup.

I actually don't think that battery saver apps are worth installing. When an app gets started the battery usage is higher than during the normal usage of the app. Therefore, keeping an app active and re-opening it needs less battery capacity than always killing the app (e.g. with greenify) and restarting it at a later point. In general android is capable enough to handle its ram and the battery on its own.

The best advice I can give you is uninstalling all apps that you don't need and stay away from YouTube, Facebook and all those other bad developed social media apps that drain your battery. That's why I mentioned TiBa at the beginning of the post.

On the other hand this device's release date lies more than 2 years in the past. You mustn't expect any great usage times per battery cycle, anymore, due to the age of the hardware. Batteries don't last forever.

I don't use any fancy apps. Only adaway, TiBa, solid explorer and the venom tweaks of ViperOne M9 require root.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tetragrammazoid:
Those are excellent apps.

:) I wish I could install hosts via adb or Adaway itself via that command on NOUGAT but I can't I don't think.

:( I use Adaway on my Moto G and it is brilliant.

I prefer an old version of ES File explorer as I'm just familiar with it, but that one you have is great too. Titanium Backup I've always found a little complex. :eek:

I'm going to give Naptime a go, I agree force closing apps that are restarted often uses a lot of resources but I'd like an option to turn the phone to a high sleep mode, but still recieve some push notifications I've installed Naptime (before I seen your response) and I gave it permissions with adb.

I'll see how it goes and perhaps report back here if anyone is interested. Also, there's quite a nice article about uninstalling bloat via adb without root that I'm reading here on XDA at the moment. I've already manually force closed apps like ZOE, perhaps I can squeeze a bit more out of the system here and there with that.

Google Services is really killing it, and I don't even have an option for uninstalling Chrome. lol Hello Google!! :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] shiftylock:
So for some reason my Note 8 isn't giving any notification sounds. It doesn't vibrate, either. What does work is device sounds and incoming phone calls, during which sound/vibrate are both working as expected.

This is a new issue as of ~3 days ago. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is that I recently encrypted my SD card. Has anybody else experienced this? I'd like to keep my sd encrypted, but if it means that I can't receive notifications, I'll just have to bite the bullet.

I've checked my sound settings, notification volume is turned up. I've confirmed that all apps are enabled for notifications, and that a sound is set for each notification type. Interestingly enough, when I try changing a notification sound, my phone doesn't play the notification, it just stays silent.

Let me know what you think I should do, I appreciate everyone who took the time to read through my rant. lol.

Hi

what are the best rom of TW & AOSP Clean roms and which Karnel are recommend ?

I'm about to take 2.5 weeks of trip out of of state and a must have the best and stable with great battrey life + Working GPS .

I'm with PhoeniX ROM V15.0 around 8 months and it's keep stuck...

I want to try aosp or great Tw rom ..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
In terms of battery, look at this:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/battery-life-screen-off-best-rom-test-t3476406

The above thread is a bit outdated. LOS 14.1 is a little more heavier on battery, but performance is slightly better. There are still bugs that need to be ironed out however (search if required).

GPS wise, anything past android M will give mixed results. Some report the same reliability as M, some have issues. Stock ROM has the best GPS reliability.

I have old P780 and I do not remember whether I was doing repartition to 3.5 Gb with tools on xda. But I am not able to flash twrp and stock rom I got error 8032 in SP flash tool 5. How can I flash twrp to restore original partitions? Or flash stock rom ?

Hi.

The original partitions are restored with SP Flash Tool.

Try with SP Flash Tool v. 3 and see what is going on.

Try to use one unmodified firmware first.

[Galaxy S6 Active] samsungdoesn'tcare:
Update on may 6, 2017 affected all three of our samsung s6 actives. Whenever you try to use camera zoom function the camera app crashes. Have tried all of the troubleshooting short of factory reset. This problem seems to be in most all their model updates. It makes me very suspicious that it is done so people think their phone needs to be replaced. Phones functioned flawlessly until update. Have gotten deaf ear from samsung. SAMSUNG CORPORATION will not admit there is an ongoing problem and does nothing to send a patch or new update to address this issue. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND SAMSUNG PRODUCTS UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS PERMANENTLY RECTIFIED.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lohtse:
Partners S6A has not had such issues.... Her S6A has VERY latest update installed and no issues, And same can be said with Our friend who got an S6A as a result of seeing my partners.... I am waiting for a replacement to arrive as mine has 4G/LTE issues but before returning I had no issues as you have described...

Sorry but just maybe it is an app that you have installed on all three of your devices that has caused it... I know on other devices in the past I have had issues with software/hardware not working correctly due to an app update....

I thought about going in to check one out. Then I decided not to torture myself like that. I gave up masochism years ago.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bkrickles:
I played with one today for about 2 minutes in a store by my house and I liked it. It was noticeably snappier than my 6p and felt great in my hand. Didn't have time to mess with camera but I'm now even more excited to get my 2 xl in 2 weeks (or less)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] imstill@g:
I must say, the speakers are very nice. The stupid tether that Verizon, and everyone else uses kills the true hands on experience. The phone is barely bigger than my v30, Sleek and sexy. I am sure you'll enjoy it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
Im thinking of getting the V30 instead. Which do you like more?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shuthefrontdoor:
As I walked into Verizon they were about to mount the pixel 2 xl so they let me play with it before they mounted and it felt really great in the hand, alot lighter than I anticipated, and the texture on the metal felt suprising premium, I thought it was going to feel like a cheap phone case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] imstill@g:
I'm an Android purist. I go through phones like nobody's business. Ive always kept a Nexus or Pixel, as phones get released, I pick one up. This year I've had the Pixel XL, all year, along with it I had iPhone 7+, G6, S8 plus, Note 8, V30, in that order, as they are released. Before that, rinse and repeat.

I say this to express that the V30 is by far the hardest to leave behind, I may not. It's sleek, fast and checks ALL of the boxes, except Pure Android, and dual speakers.

The pixel misses, the wireless charging, and expandable storage.

The killer feature I was going to pass on the Pixel for is the 71 band for TMobile, but sadly it a year and a half from being deployed in my area.

You will not go won't with the V30. It is awesome! Best phone I've used to date... And that's AALLLL of them worth checking out.

But the speakers man, the speakers. The pure Android experience... Ridiculously pleasant to use for me.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] droidguy22:
I played with it yesterday, phone is nice but doesn't feel like a premium hardware specially when compared to Note 8 or V30.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] imstill@g:
I didn't get that at all
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
I went to the store today and tried to enable developer options, the Verizon store sample did not allow me to do it. I went to about phone and clicked on everything 8+ times and nothing happened. I have used a stock phone in a while, so unless it was move I couldn't do it.

I spent a little more time with both phones. The 2xl feels very good in the hand imo. I also like the regular pixel 2. To me that felt more comfortable in the hand because it was smaller.

The screen on the 2xl is good. I liked the feel better than my S8+. Because the 2xl is a little wider and has a more solid feel on the sides it felt better than my Samsung. I have good size hands, I can palm a basketball, and on the 2xl my inner thumb or palm doesn't touch the curved screen. On my S8+ my inner hand meat can touch the screen when I reach across with my thumb.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
Here are some photos of the 2xl and side by side with a screen burned Pixel XL

I also made sure the brightness was a 50% for both phones. You can see the POLED screen looks brighter.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bkrickles:
I went back today and enabled developers options. And the bootloader is definitely locked. So glad I ordered mine from Google and completely unlocked. I spent more time with it today and it's a terrific phone. Snappy and the screen looked great. Brightness was all the way up and I didn't try to make any adjustments. Phone feels good and looks good. I understand why some people prefer the LG v30 and it's a great alternative but I think the 2 xl will make plenty of people happy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
I tested it out today as well and didn't get a "plastic-feeling" phone. The metal had a grainy texture to it and felt quite nice. I tested the XL since that's what I ordered. Didn't bother with the regular one. People said there was a "coating" on the metal, but I didn't seem to notice one like on the G5. That one felt like it had a clear rubber case on the metal.

Thanks for those pics [MENTION=2374321]Bxrider117[/MENTION]

Had to go the upsstore today and the verizon next door on Tyvola Rd on my side of Charlotte did not have them in. Told the nicer of the two guys I was interested in seeing the poled screen, explained how I'd heard on xda of the banding and not good quality in the other thread. One guy swooped in on me telling me how I could know or even say that for a phone that hasn't been released yet! I told him that the good verizon stores had demos. What a dummy, HIS store is supposed to have them but they said the google rep could not get any for them.

Yea right. "Believe half of what I see, and none of what I hear......Talkin' `bout my friend George" *Lou Reed

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
I can assure the screen looks really good. I don't like the Pixel wall papers. I always put a picture of my family on the home screen. I will say that I really like the regular Pixel, I'm just afraid of the difference in battery life.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
Saw phones at Vz today. Pixel 2 XL felt very light compared to my Pixel XL even with the magnetic charge thingie stuck on back. Not impressed with look and feel compared to original XL. Ran through display options on 2 XL & V30. Didn't notice anything offensive. Very difficult to test in store as phones on short leash and bright florescent lights above.

Comparing XL & 2 XL phone & screen size only thing really different is vertical display size. The 2 XL has additional screen display height about equal to XL nav bar height, so you get a bit more on screen.

After seeing in person I will keep my XL thank you very much. Having recently received XL in exchange for 6p think I'm ahead of the game.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Just came from Verizon store

A few observations. I was not underwhelmed by the display like some have mentioned. When placed side-by-side with my Galaxy S8 they both look great. The Pixel is cooler in terms of temperature than the S8, even when I switched to Cinema and photo mode on my S8 which is supposed to be closer to natural colors and not overly saturated. Bezels look good similar to bezel-less of the the S8. I compared with both displays at max brightness( auto off) and both at 50%.

It obviously felt bigger than my S8, but not something that would prevent me from getting used to it. I like the weight and feel of the exterior, although I got the Panda so not sure if it'll differ. It looks huge next to the smaller Pixel. I'm still excited for mine to arrive after seeing it in person.

I've had every "google" phone since the Nexus 4, save last years Pixel. Got the S8 in April when it launched(first Galaxy since the S2). Touchwiz has come a long way but I don't think anything can keep me from wanting pure android.

Went to a Verizon store today, and I gotta say, I am WAY more excited about this phone now! The screen looked great! I checked it out, out of demo mode, with and without vivid on, and the colors are NOT washed out or anything. It looked better than my S7 Edge to be serial. Stop cancelling your orders! Just wait until your brand new, never touched phone arrives and see for yourself. I think some of the demo phones have been messed with or something. I honestly cannot wait for mine to get here!

I really thought about getting the V30 instead, too. Then I thought about Google's promise of same day software updates on Verizon with the pixel, with the freedom of using a local sim when out of the country, and zero Verizon installed apps eventually put me squarely in the Pixel market.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ocbenji:
My son NEEDS the headphone jack so he gets the V30 and I get the Pixel XL! While in the Verizon store today I got to play with it and it must be using an older version of the software because I was unable to use portrait mode on the selfie camera. And portait mode on the rear camera was good but not as good as I had seen on some of the YouTube videos. There was no option to update the demo models in the store so I am going to guess that they are using an older version of the software or a "demo" version. Everything else having to do with the phone was AMAZING and I can't wait to get it! I have my preordered and it gets shipped on 10/22.
