[Battery] Strange Battery extending tip or just a placebo?

Right, this is s strange one. Over the past few years of installing ROM's I have noticed that if I say clean install a ROM, set it up, back it up using TWRP or CWM, fully wipe the device and restore that back-up, I get quite noticeably better battery vs staying on the first installation of the ROM. In case you don't get what I mean:

1) Clean install ROM and back-up that install, use original install for a few days, weeks, months whatever.
2) Wipe device and restore the previously created back-up.
3) Notice a large boost in battery.

This may seem insane, but I have noticed it on multiple occasions and I have no idea why it happens or how it makes any sense haha!

I never thought of it when using my G3, but with my Galaxy Note and One Plus One, it is a thing. I was only getting 3 odd hours of SOT on my OPO on COS12.1. Now after full wipe and restoring that exact same ROM (back-up made 3 days ago) I am at 2 odd hours SOT with 73% battery left...definitely a difference. I have dropped the brightness a bit vs before, but any other time I did this is made little to no change in battery.

Anyway, that is my odd theory, any input is welcome, call me insane, agree with me I don't know, but hey, it's worth a try!
:)

tried 5 roms all of them working fine just no audio during call any fix ?

i cant relize what i did wrong ... hope to find solution really need my phone multilang

[APP][4.1+][0.0.9 - 10/15/2015] Just Track It!

wireless charging just stopped working...

So, I've been using wireless charging on my VZW G4 since I got it (using the LG charging back). Working like a champ.

All of a sudden it stopped. Have rebooted the device (and charger) and replace the cover. No luck.

The charging pad shows it is charging, but the device it not charging.

Any ideas??

Soft-bricked D820n a51_ul after upgrading just firmware from OTA

Hello,
i have single sim d820 (europe)

Code:

---

***************************
Software status: Modified
A51_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
hboot-3.19.0.0000
radio-01.01.010_U10305041_08.01.50512
os-2.10.401.2
***************************

---

Before i messed it up it was unlocked and rooted and S-ON, then i wanted to install OTA and i flashed firmware.zip extracted from OTA zip file (bad idea). Now i'm unable to get my phone working...
What i can do:
-enter bootloader
-fastboot commands
-enter recovery

What I've tried and didn't work:
-flash stock recovery, lock, flash RUUk44.zip via fastboot (signature verify fail)
-flash stock recovery, lock, flash lollipop OTA (signature verify fail)
-flash TWRP, restore k44 backup (bootloop after reboot from recovery)

The question is, if I would somehow obtain firmware from k44 stock, is it possible to downgrade on S-ON using "fastboot flash zip" and then restore backup or flash RUU?
I cannot find magical RUU.exe for this model there are only zip files...
Guys maybe someone can dump kitkat firmware i would be grateful...
I appreciate any idea, please help me solve it :(

Going from stock to stock (basically just wiping) while on CWM recovery

I'm already on the stock KK ROM (E98020g)., but with the CWM recovery. I just want to wipe everything while keeping the stock ROM, but I've seen that factory resetting or flashing stock ROMs while on a custom recovery will probably cause a some sort of brick...

I've already briefly seen the pinned stock ROM tutorial already. Before I try that (assuming it still works), can anyone tell me if there's a simpler way? It's going to take me a long time to go through that entire thread so it would be an immense help if someone could just tell me.

XDA, just thank you

So hey, what should I say, hum...
I'm a little bit drunk, but I'll say these things in the fastest way.
The only thing I have to say to the XDA community is: Thank you.
I say thank you because you have always been there for every single trouble I had, with roms or kernels or whatever.
Thank you because I repaired so many phones that I lost the count, just thanks to you.
Thank you because I found a wonderful community, full of people willing to help and full of wonderful developers who work the **** out of their a***s to bring us perfect roms.
Just thank you, I just donated to this site because it is the only way I can help, since I'm studying computer science at university but nothing about Android etc.
Thank you XDA, thank you for making my heart beat slower when I bootlooped a rom or when I softbricked my S3. Just thank you.
I hope you will be here forever.
Best regards, gicifix.

Just bought a fresh (unopened) Fire TV from November 2014 - how to approach?

Hey guys,

I never thought it could happen but I got my hands on an unboxed Fire TV from November 2014. (as the seller said it was preordered.. so it should have a very old firmware on it).

I'd like to root, bootloader unlock and put custom recovery on it, anything I have to avoid except not allowing the thing to OTA update?

And how can I get root the fastest and the most risk-free way? Block ota through router and then put towelroot on it asap I guess?

Help!!! I just bricked my tmobile lg h811 trying to root it! Please help me fix it!

SO I JUST TRIED TO ROOT MY DEVICE AND I DID EVERYTHING THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE ROOT TUTORIAL PROVIDED BY THE PEOPLE OF XDA DEVELOPERS.

THREAD NAME IS .. [ROOT] TMO/VZW/ATT/SPRINT/INTL Root your LG G4 with Low Effort Root!

MY DEVICE IS HARD BRICKED AND WHEN I TRY TURNING IT ON, A SECURITY ERROR SHOWS UP AND IT SAYS AUTHENTICATION FAIL #11 ..AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS..PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEE! ANY KIND OF HELP WOULD BE REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.

still no upgrade for SM P905, Samsung just lie to their customers who paid big money

still no upgrade for SM P905, Samsung just lie to their customers who paid big money for the so called FLAGSHIP tablet


Lamentable, aucune mise a jour depuis la version Android 4.4.2, pour la SM-P905 version P905XXUANA7; (3G/Wifi) un produit PRO c'est pas sérieux.
Produit payé a sa sortie à plus de 900 euro. je pense que SAMSUNG de fout de la gueule du monde. idem pour la tablette Galaxy Note 10.1 edition 2012 n'a jamais eu de mise à jour. un vraie scandale.

Nexus 5 just broke - need stable Nexus 4 ROM asap, suggestions?

I dropped my N5 a bit too many times, and the last drop this morning was the last straw I guess. The screen no longer works. I need to revert back to my N4.

I'm going on a 3 week trip in a few days, and need a responsive, stable ROM with a long battery life. Tweaks and features are not important to me. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I go M or stick to L, or even K?

now i still have an icon that says shield software upgrade select to upgrade shield but when i do i get the message "this can't be opened right now"

I just can't seem to install a ROM no matter what. (Or google services) HELP PLEASE!

So, I have been using the P780 for some time now and, after I started having some problems with it and having to reboot too often, I decided to root it to uninstall the bloatware and give root access to some programs.
Well, I started looking into it and noticed a thread tutorial just for that. It just happened to be for KitKat and I was still running Jelly Bean.
I decided to first update to KitKat using the Official Lenovo software from their support site.
I know I should have taken a backup before, but I guess I foolishly thought nothing would go wrong with an official updater.
...Nothing did, BUT: It updated to the 4.4.2 based VibeUI2.0 and as it happens it doesn't have google services....
So I tried installing them. I tried seemingly everything, but I just couldn't get them to work.
Eventually I just started looking for another ROM.
I tried installing a couple different ones, but none of them worked.
(Including both of the current working links for the ROW ROMs in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/leno...stock-t2656441)
I tried multiple methods:
I used TWRP and tried to use the zip flash - no luck (One error I can't remember right now. error corrupted zip once. once there was no errors, but after booting it was just the same old VibeUI ROM so nothing had happened)
I tried using SP Flash Tool - It didn't find my phone (Yes, I did have my drivers installed)
I tried adb sideloading - didn't work (Can't remember the errors right now, but it did download the ROMs to the phone, they just didn't seem to install)


If anyone can offer any advice either on how to get the Google services working on the VibeUI ROM or how to install another ROM that has the google services, please do.
I might update this with the specific errors at some point, but I've been fighting with this damn phone for about 6 hours now and I'm about to collapse from stress, so I'll give up FOR NOW.
