I dont see any differences

i rooted my device last night, and today when i downloaded the .62 update OTA ,and let the phone do it's magic it went well...but coming back to the home screen after the restart (of the update process) it displayed update failed...
i've seen that in many places the update doesn't do any cosmetic updates or changes..but some say it's a tad faster than earlier..guess i'll skip this update

[Q] My LG Nitro HD AT&T with ICS turn off and gets really hot!!!

Hi, i have a Lg Nitro HD p930 AT&T with ICS.
I only have the phone for a few days i bought it used on mint condition on ebay.
The problem is that my phone turn off itself and the only way i can turn it on is taking off the battery and then put it back again, also i notice that the battery discharge really fast when i do that, for example if that happens with 90% of the battery when i do the process to turn the phone on, the battery is in 73%.
Another thing is that my phone sometimes gets extremely hot.
Obviously im not an expert but i think maybe its the battery because i only get 4-6 hours with simple use, just chat a little in whatsapp and view a few post on facebook.
I hope you can help me, thanks in advance.

Random reset is an issue on official ics
U can hold power button for 10sec or takeout the battery.
This phone battery usage is high and I think its because of the ips screen.
If you wanna check your battery ,turn off wifi and data and leave your phone for about 5 hours and check battery percentage it should not be more than 5%.but it depend on signal strength of your 3G/4G network
when I play high graphic games or browsing web for long time with high brightness phone gets hot in up sides and its normal
If your phone gets very hot it might be a problem

Yeah, common issue with this phone and ICS and there is no easy fix. You will also sometimes see a red halo on the screen if it turns off by itself and gets hot.
Try to root it and install HoNo's Full Throttle. I heard it doesn't have that issue.

Afriend told me something similar happen to him a he download from de market the App Wake Lock, i download it and the phone hasnt reset since i install it but steal get hot when i use the GPS or chat in multiples APPs and the battery sucks even instaling juice defender.
i just finish rooting my phone a few minutes ago, i would like to instal cyanogen 10, im going to research how to cuz im new i never had install a ROM BUY maybe it work better

can someone send me the link or a tutorial of how to intall a ROM i had my NITRO rooted but i never install a ROM.
wich ROM YOU RECOMMEND i would like a rom that as stable as an official version and dont get my phone hot
thanks

Did you try doing a factory reset? (Hold volume down + power when turning the phone on)

Yes, you can unbrick if you're using official ICS; in fact, that's the only way you'd be able to install a custom ROM in the 1st place coming from official ICS. If you just want stock ICS you can use the LG Mobile Update software to restore your device to the stock LG firmware; but if you want a custom ROM you will need to follow one of the 3 unbrick guides located here in the general forum.

There is no conceivable way to brick an unmodified phone by doing a factory reset, but given the other symptoms that you are describing it might suggest that your phone has a hardware problem. Did you get a warranty with it? It has been my experience that people that have stability issues with this phone and it is 100% stock ICS points to one of two possibilities: software, that a factory reset would resolve or hardware. Good luck.

You did root your phone on stock ics but bootloader is locked , so you can't flash any rom via cwm and your phone is bricked.
The only way to unlock bootloader is following unbrick method instructions and back to android 2.3 which has unlocked boot loader and then install rom manager and cwm, then you can flash your favarite rom
If you wana flash stock ics ,use HoNo at&t official ics cmw flashable nor flash what ever you like

Major Battery problem Basic Android apps is taking 48% of battery!!!

I got my HOX back last Friday from service which replaced after a dropp my mainboard and battery.
Since then battery only lasts 4-5 hour max with no heavy usage(NOT EVEN MODERATE USAGE!!!!).
Sense 5 android 4.2.2 installed in Service.
As you can see in my screen shots Basic Android Apps is responsible for 49% of power loss.
Is there anything I can do?

I would try and update the firmware. I had horrible battery life with Sense 5 before updating my firmware as well. The battery never lasted longer than 12 hours. Now it's more like 20-24 hours.

If your phone runs on stock ROM, you should get the update OTA.
If you are enjoying the benefits of a custom ROM, you should go back to stock, and wait for OTA.
Also, you can find your CID specific firmware, and flash it manually through the fastboot.

Check your hboot version (that's also the firmware version).
If you are at 1.7x, you have the most recent firmware, and no need to update.

If you make the factory reset will the OTA appear or you will have to flash it manually?
Remember that my new mainboard that service used to replace the old damaged one was already on sense 5 android 4.2.2.
Did I also mentioned that they said they replaced the battery with a new one?(could that play a part in this?)

just make factory reset ...normally ota should be keeping there...if not you will get it and you can download again...but normally it should be still there it just resets everything so that things like that can be fixed...or look at first in accounts etc and at google if there is some problem with auto sync or so...if yes turn off whole auto sync and restart device and see if the problem with contacts etc is still there...if yes? then make factory reset

[Q] Downgrade from 4.4.2 KitKat to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean

Hi guys,
Now that we have KitKat available for our Note 8 tablets, I've taken the plunge to upgrade but immediately ran into a fairly significant issue that makes me want to go back to 4.1.2 Jelly Beam.
Is it possible for me to downgrade this tablet through Odin or any other methods?
Thanks.

From what I read, the only way is to have upgraded to 4.4.2 using Mobil Odin, as it leaves your boot loader as 4.2.2 or 4.1.2.
You may be stuck until someone patches a ROM update to force older bootloader for use on Odin.

I just read that we cant flash stock 4.2 if we updated to 4.4. I might sell this tablet now. Any help is greatly appreciated. I was in love with this tablet. Now my spen is way off. Battery life is much worse. And I cant disable the service app that puts the recommended spen apps in the notification bar. The handwriting recognjtion is backwards and doesnt work nearly as well. I am reading that m stuck and cant express my frustration.

You can downgrade, but can't use ODIN to install.
If you have a custom recovery already installed, then you can just install any 4.2.2 custom ROM from recovery.

I took the plunge and used Odin to flash back to stock 4.1.2. The bootloader stayed upgraded to 4.4.2, but the ROM did flash back to 4.1.2 without any apparent and immediate issues.
I've been using the tablet for a couple days now and haven't had any problems other than the occasional sleep of death. Some people have reported charging issues with the new bootloader in combination with the old rom, especially with the device turned off. I'll try to confirm or deny that over the next few days.

what's up!

My Note 8 is doing great after downgrading. No problems at all.
At a high level, basically grab the proper 4.1.2 firmware for your device from Sammobile and a version of Odin 3.09. Put your device into download mode, and flash the firmware. I would suggest doing a factory reset before flashing your firmware through Odin. That's all there is to it.

I honestly haven't noticed much difference in battery life after the upgrade. I find that depending on what you are running and what your settings are makes more if a difference, at least to me, or in my case. I've learned to reduce my screen brightness and not run over clocked all the time unless the app calls for it. Stuff like that. Also use Clean sweep app and Battery doctor, they both do a nice job managing my ram and battery ussage usage.

If you did a factory reset after updating to KitKat would it have KitKat or Jellybean when it is finished.

I am the one having problem with charging with the device turned off after downgrading form 4.4.2 to stock 4.1.2.
I can charge the device only when it is turned on.
When it is turned off it still charges but the display is never dimmed/turned off… and the device hangs… so hard reset is needed.
If anyone knows how to fix it please help!

I also have this issue after downgrading, but compared to dealing with an inaccurate S-Pen after upgrading to 4.4.2, I would consider this a minor issue.
Avoid turning off your device or draining your battery so much that it shuts off (it's not really good for the battery to drain it frequently anyway). If you do have to charge from power-off state, let it charge for a few minutes until you can turn on the device, do a power off when it appears to hang, and then turn it back on, and then charge with the tablet booted into Android.

Sure. If I like 4.4.2 I would never downgrade to 4.1.2. Also I will not install 4.4.2 any more at note 8.0. However it is somekind heartening that I am not the only one with the same problem.
But I am interested in the real fix (eg. getting back to the previous bootloader version).
Samsung by blocking owners the possibility to officially downgrade their devices to STOCK firmwares and by doing so voiding the warranty is just violating my ownership rights to have the device the same quality of functionalities that I have bought! As 4.4.2 in my humble opinion is functional disaster in comparison to 4.1.2.

Sanctrum, I agree with you that I'd like to see a method to revert to the previous bootloader version, but as far as I'm aware (and I admittingly have not dug very deep into this) there are no ways to revert back to a previous version of a bootloader. Once you upgrade that, you're kind of stuck.
Still, it's a relatively minor bug to put up with in the grand scheme of things, so it doesn't really bother me all that much.
Good luck on your search, and please do post back if you find a solution!
Thanks,
S.

Am i right?
Can we downgrade from 4.4.2 Official to 4.1.2 Official?
How? What about knox?
Tell me step by stem.. Thank u..

Yes, flash with Odin. Knox will stay because 4.4.2 bootloader won't be downgraded with flashing 4.1.2

I just downgraded from kitkat today and boy does my tablet feel good! It is back to bug free and super fast. The only downside now is that I also have the charging issue when devices is off. Glad my second note 8 is still on 4.2.2 boot loader.

[Q] LG G3 D855: Should i root? (below are my reasons)

Hey everyone, first time android user here.
Got the LG G3 3 weeks ago... I had kitkat at first, but immediately and i mean IMMEDIATELY updated to 5.0 Lollipop. Anyway, ive looked at some rom videos and they seem cool and much smoother than the current stock.
My major reasons for wanting to root are:
-Battery life is honestly dismal for me (i was a nokia qwerty phone user for 5 years haha), and ive looked around and i know that 3000mAh is a great capacity but the QHD screen is obviously killing the battery. Sooo i want to get a resolution changer to reduce the resolution when i find myself needing more battery than pixels. Will changing the resoultion frequently (like maybe once or twice a day?) be bad for the phone?
-Adaway obviously... Does adaway work for ALL apps? Including games n fb? I tried adblock plus but i couldnt get the port numbers running on my university wifi (where i spend all my time)
-I got the 3gb ram over the 2gb ram one to eliminate any and i mean ANY lag... And while its reasonably lag free, ive had a few stutters and; this is fairly disappointing; entering homescreen from any app, i will always be greeted by a black screen for a second and loading widgets (especially the default accuweather). I would very much like to solve that problem. Same goes for the app tray
-I still want some of the Lg default apps n features.. Will i lose them if i get a rom? eg gesture selfie, knock code
Sorry for the looong post guys, but any help is much appreciated.
Also, if i do decide to root, can i still use towelroot? I saw it in the "root info" tab for LG G3 but he said it might not work or something. I also have purpledrake downloaded and ready to go, just waiting for feedback from u guys.
LG G3 D855. Software: V20h-TWN-XXX
P.S. After update to lollipop, i dindt get the new buttons (triangle, circle, square). I was using a russian vpn (hideman) to play some online game, and i suddenly got software update notification (to the above mentioned). After that i got the triangle, circle, square. I'm in Malaysia btw.
Thanks in advance

Changing the resolution won't improve battery life but it might improve your performance.
With my g3 I always get around 4 hrs screen on and I thing it's enough. Just disable location and sync if you want to save battery.
For rooting towelroot didn't work form me so I used purpledrake (after downgrading to kitkat) but ymmv.

Yes you need to downgrade using a kitkat KDZ, but after rooting you can flash a bumped lollipop ROM and get lollipop with root
Maybe using 1080p you could gain some mins of battery, but don't expect a big change

ohhh... huh, it made perfect sense that reducing pixels would increase battery life. Ah well, at least there's a significant performance increase, i still think it would be worth a shot. Does changing the resolution harm the phone, u think?

May i ask why its necessary to downgrade b4 rooting if we're just gonna lollipop it back up?
Also, do these 1 touch root apps such as purple drake also get me a custom recovery tool, nandroid backup etc that ive been reading a lot about?

You need to downgrade since lollipop can't be rooted with purple deake or other root tools, the custom ROMs are "bumped " because they have a little modification that allows to root.
No' they don't get you a custom recovery (twrp) but after you are rooted you can easily flash a custom recovery with Flashify from playstore.
Reducing the resolution won't give you more battery life because you are not using less pixels (there are always 2560x1440 pixels) you are only telling the gpu to render at a smaller resolution.

ok... think i get most of it.
Well then if i dont use a one touch root tool and instead do the thingies with the adb, fastboot (im not really sure what im saying here, i just remember this stuff from the root video provide by xda), do i get a custom recovery etc? And can i then install roms? And how do i do... ALL of this exactly?
Also, is there anyway then to get the phone to put out less pixels then? FullHD seems fine to me

Pixels are physical so you can't just remove some of them. Downgrading to kitkat is the olnly way to root

Rooting with purpledrake lite won't give you custom recovery.. It's easy just flash using Flashify from playstore. But i suggest that after downgrading to KK and rooting, download supersu first then everything follows..oh btw there's already twrp that works on our phone. Just download then flash it. Good luck!

OK
First you downgrade to KitKat, then you install flashify (after rooting with purpledrake) from the playstore so that you can flash a custom recovery like TWRP. After installing the recovery you can flash a lollipop bumped rom. Finally after you are in the lollipop rom you can install superSU (if your rom doesn't already have it).

Flashify enables you to have a custom recovery wherein you can wipe, or install a different rom. You can get it via playstore. Of course you have to grant flashify SuperSU access then select flash recovery image then select the file that you have downloaded and viola! You now have custom recovery. For recovery, go with TWRP.
