Weird App Notification Problems anyone? topic

So am I the only person experiencing that most of my game apps arnt sending me push notifications such as CoC, Boom Beach, Fun Run 2, and etc. I'm not getting any notifications even though in settings, apps manager, all my apps have the check in the show notification box but I still don't receive any. In all such apps I have settings in the app to send me notifications yet still nothing comes through. I'm running on the 12b update. I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing this weird thing or if someone could help me fix this

Testing a weird kernel tweak. It's working and I don't know why ! topic

ROM: NEAT ROM 4.4.4
KERNEL: gustavo_s' kernel for AOSP version 04 Feb 2015 with Synapse.
So one day when drinking beer I thought to myself: if Ondemand is so sensitive in jumping to higher frequencies, why bother setting the threshold low? So I just simply went to Synapse and set the up-threshold to 99%. Naively I just thought it was to make sure the CPU was full until it needed a faster frequency. To my surprise, a few days later was fantastic: the time my GS spent on high frequencies was so good it looked like I was using conservative, the least time was on 1200MHz and goes up along with lower frequencies. And the performance was intact :silly::silly::silly:
:silly::silly::silly: can anyone confirm you had tried this before?

One last thing: I just enable GPU rendering, I read that GPU used more power so it is not efficient but on this kernel I am able to use 54MHz and 66MHz which only drain 800Mah which is less than the voltage of 200MHz. My first feelinng is that scrolling through Manga app no longer lags. Will this work as I expected, guys? :silly:

P/S: sorrry for my broken English.

[Q] Really weird problem with Redmi 1s - MIUI Camera Vanished topic

I've got a Redmi 1s with stock ROM. (v36.0) 4.3 JLS36C with root. Everything was working fine and I was taking some pictures. All of a sudden Camera shortcut got deleted from the Launcher. I checked the presence of Camera.apk and .odex file at /system/app and is still present there. Tried the following steps, but could not get the Camera launcher back online.

Details:
Rooted stock (version 36.0) CWM installed
Steps tried so far:
Cleared Cache
Cleared Dalvik Cache
Checked the permissions and ownership of the camera.apk.
Tried copying the camera.apk to the sdcard folder and tried installing. It prompted with a warning that the installed app will replace a system app, and on clicking install, the installation failed with an error message "installation failed"
Nothing worked.

Links2SD is installed and none of the apps are frozen.
Tried activity launcher to see if there any camera activity that can be launched, but again in vain.

Please help to get the camera back. I really like the MIUI Camera app. (For the time being, I'm using Camera ICS, Instagram and Fast Burst camera to capture some of the moments with my little one! :( )

Thanks in advance!

[Q] Heartrate sensor works weird after lollipop upgrade topic

I recently upgraded galaxy S5's OS to lollipop.

After that the red led of heart rate sensor turns on every time when I place my finger (in device wake-up status) upon it even if I'm not using S-health application to check my heart rate.

Is it a bug or something about background recording heart rate?

Now I'm worrying about the battery consumption of it.

Weird network and data issue after replacing my screen and digitizer. Help! topic

I'll try to keep this post as simple and well typed out as possible...

I cracked my screen and essentially damaged the digitizer as touches couldn't be registered at all, so I ordered a newbie off Aliexpress and using the guide on iFixit, I repaired it myself. It booted perfectly and everything works fine EXCEPT for a weird issue I'm having with my cellular data and the network itself not registering properly or something.

I've a SIM card and plan with Vodafone Australia and basically the phone:

- sometimes registers 4G/LTE, but never 3G and 2G didn't seem to want to work
- can sometimes send/receive texts (at random)
- can't make or receive calls
- cellular data absolutely doesn't work at all, nothing will load. I think there was only 1 occasion where half a web page loaded, but that could have been cached
- when the network 'disappears' either I just have a blank network bar in the status bar or sometimes I also get a triangle in the status bar and in the notification pull down area it reads "NO SERVICE - selected network (Vodafone AU) unavailable"

Prior to doing the repair I was using a Telstra 4G SIM and everything worked flawlessly right out of the box. Never an issue. I'm pretty sure both providers even run on the same bands.

I have tried the following to solve the problem, to no avail:

- different ROM and kernel (stock CM11S, Temasek CM12 w/ AK kernel)
- fastboot erase modemst1 and modemst2
- different modems (44S, 05Q)
- changing settings in *#*#4636#*#* menu (LTE/GSM auto, and the rest)

All I have left to try is to go see my provider and request a new SIM.

I'm thinking maybe something happened when I disassembled the device, like I may have damaged the part of the main board where the SIM registers. Could this be the cause? Surely not,as I do get that temporary LTE registration...

Also note that I'm 99.99% sure it's an international device, not a Chinese one, as it came with CM11S and the Aliexpress seller told me so.

Any advice? HELP!!!

- I also occasionally get a warning that says "Restricted access changed - Data service is blocked" - I called Vodafone and they said there is no blocking or barring service in place on my SIM/service and that the SIM should work with any device it's in
- the device even shows details like signal strength -95 dBm and 43 asu, shows Vodafone AU as my network and even automatically loads the correct APN settings
- I tried an OPTUS Australia SIM and the same thing happened, registers network, shows signal strength, APN etc, but nothing works!

Weird battery life; battery not charging fully topic

Hello, this is how my battery life looks like.

So, battery, when it charges, goes up smoothly up to about 50 percentage mark. Then, the rate of charge slows dramatically, followed by a huge surge at the end. As soon as I unplugged my phone, however, the battery drops significantly, and I end up losing battery even as the battery is charged.

Any idea what has happened? I see no significant wake lock (I have no idea what the application says it's active), signal is high and sync is turned off. Is it a hardware issue? Corrupted battery stat?

I am running CM 11 Milstone 12, and the battery is a ZeroLemon extended battery.

[Q] Weird back button behavior topic

Just got a tab pro 10.1, and the back key doesn't have any effect in most apps.

Eg in chrome when I click the back key I expect in to go back to previous page, but all it does is flash and do nothing. On other phones back key goes back. in Samsung own Internet app back does go back.

Other apps that back doesn't work in include play store & mx player

Is this normal?

Cheers, Baz

[Q] Razr Maxx weird issue with stock ROM--no display. Please advise. topic

Hi, all . . .

Quick version in bold below.

I've enjoyed my rooted Razr Maxx for many months now, but recently I did some tinkering of the kind that involved the warnings we're all familiar with, i.e., you might mess up your device. And, well, I did--but not in a way that was completely beyond redemption. I don't know what actually happened, but what I know is that after the Safestrap menu disappeared my phone no longer displayed anything, and it would hang during the boot sequence. I'd hear the Drooooid, see nothing, and then the phone would just remain in that non-displaying, unresponsive state until the battery was drained.

I have Safestrap 3.11 installed, thankfully, and I have a backup from several months ago I've been working with. I began hunting around for advice on how to rectify the problem. I tried wiping the cache, then restoring the system and data, then just the system, and each time I got the same problem. Finally, I created a new ROM slot and restored my backup to it--just the system. (System and data didn't work--I don't really know why.) Interestingly, this booted up just fine. Everything was as normal, except that I had to rebuild my profile/data/etc. from scratch.

So I thought, if that worked, then maybe I could wipe the stock ROM and restore just the system to it after the wipe. I tried it, and then had the same issue: no display after Safestrap, and then a hang.

So my question is, is there some way to get that stock ROM straightened out so I can use it as normal? Can I delete and recreate the stock ROM in Safestrap? Is there an obvious explanation for what is happening here?

I really do appreciate any advice you can give, because I'm a dabbler and not a developer, and that's probably a good part of the reason why I'm in this situation to begin with. Thanks!

Quick Version: I'm using Safestrap 3.11 and I messed up my stock ROM in such a way that I have no display after the Safestrap menu, and the phone hangs during boot. I managed to restore just the system to a different ROM slot and was able to start from scratch there, but I want to find out if there is a way to make my stock ROM whole again.

Thanks!

[Q] Weird periodic battery drain issue topic

Hi,

Since about December (a while after updating to Lollipop), I have a weird battery drain issue, once in a while.

The battery drains very quickly – about 15% per hour. Phone gets warm (obviously) and sluggish. Killing apps doesn't help. Battery stats don't show a culprit.
A weirder symptom: if the notification bar shows I have new Gmail messages and I open Gmail (from an icon in the quick launch area, not through the notification), the Gmail icon doesn't disappear from the notification bar (as it normally does).
Also, my clock widget (HD Widgets) stops updating (I think this doesn't always happen).

A reboot helps briefly, but usually within a few hours, it starts draining again.

Then, after anywhere between ½ and 2 days, the problem disappears, only to come back 2-3 weeks later.

Any thoughts? I'm on stock, not rooted, not even unlocked. (So I can't use BetterBatteryStats or tools like that without a factory reset, and I don't have the time to deal with that right now.)

Here are my battery stats from last night:



I took my phone off the charger at about 2:40, it was draining at the time, it looks like. Rebooted at about 3:00, briefly did some reading, then went to sleep.
At about 6:00, when my phone was quietly lying on my nightstand, the drain starts again. At 7:30 I woke up, rebooted, and made those screenshots.

The first screenshot shows no obvious “offenders”. The second screenshot tells us that something is keeping the phone awake, but it's not just being awake that's the problem, because the battery drains faster, with screen off, than in a normal situation during light use (reading) with the screen on.

Any thought? Thanks in advance!
