For those M8 users who would like to milk every drop of performance out of their phone. There is a secret High Performance Mode you can enable. It's made my M8 seem a lot quicker. But it does kill the battery life. How to enable High Performance Mode on the HTC One (M8), and why you may not really want to
I just put my my m8 for fun on high performance mode and the difference is so big I'm leaving it here. Its fantastic.
Smooth with no pauses or lag. Does not even seem to get hot. Can any damage be done?
I also turned off the animations as well which could also contribute to the speed feeling really fast. My battery does not appear to be draining much faster.
Last night I put my galaxy 6s into battery save mode, charged it to 99% and put it on the nightstand. This morning (8 hours later) my phone is at 48% charge. Do I have a bad battery or is there a setting or application on that is draining the battery? Battery shows 46% battery usage by cell phone.
For the past week I've been running in high accuracy location mode because, for one I wanted to see if battery saving mode really saved much battery, and, also when I do need gps it's already on. I found that any difference in battery drain is negligible because gps is almost never on unless I'm specifically using it. Also if I have a phone with certain capabilities I want to utilize those capabilities. And what you've found as far as battery drain.
I have not been able to use any tracking apps with my phone. I have the GPS on and set to high accuracy mode. The maps app pre-installed on the phone sometimes show the location several streets away. Which tracking apps are you using?
Just got a nexus 5. I switched the location settings to battery saver but if I turn off location it defaults back to high accuracy mode when I turn it back on which drains my battery quickly.
I've had my Moto X for a couple of weeks and have noticed that it seems to drain battery strangely quickly when in Airplane mode and with the screen turned off. I leave my phone in this state while at work.
This morning, I put my phone away for over 3.5 hours in this state. After this 3.5 hours with screen off and airplane mode on, the battery had drained from 100% to 92%. The only 2 entries in the battery use screen were Phone Idle (1%) and Google Services (1% with a couple minutes of GPS and CPU usage which probably accounts for the amount of time it took for me to walk from my car to the office). See attached screenshots for details.
It seems like 8% of battery use over 3.5 hours in airplane mode with almost 0 screen on time is kind of excessive, particularly as no app or service reports using much battery use at all. How to fix or diagnose this? I've used wakelock detecting apps in the past but they've been kind of neutered since Kit Kat and I don't want to root my X to get proper stats.
Which phone has best performance (CPU speed, RAM) ? (Nokia 5800xpress music or Nokia N97)KUDOS ME IF YOU FIND MY POST HELPFUL BY CLICKING GREEN STAR!!!
Recently i downloaded some themes from ovistore.it got automatically installed to memorycard.But now when i take gallery,photos and videos on my phone with new theme appllied it takes more time,especially when the screen rotates.Why this happens?this problem doesn't occur with preintalled theme.
I use some bluetooth headphones for gym and commuting use and was surpirsed to see a very obviuos decrease in performace of my Z5 when audio was streaming to them.
does rooting and unrooting affect phone's performance ? what if I root my S6 and unroot it (let's assume that I repeat this 4-5 times ) will it affect?
My quite new (3 weeks) S6 did a factory data reset on its own. It happened while I was driving for 2hrs on a highway, with the phone resting on the empty passenger seat, not touching the phone. Lost all data, all apps, all pics. Very frustrating. After 3 days of research (visiting Verizon store, calling Verizon, calling Samsung, internet research), the possible cause may the following:
About 2-3 hours before driving, the phone did a scheduled automatic update, which took more than 30 min to complete. This all happened in a signal-weak area. Tech support said, although the update completed, it may have had some flaws, and when the phone detects that, it may resort to a factory data reset to avoid greater functionality problems.
Unfortunately, the end result included functionality problems, most notably that the phone calendar only synched partially (!!) with my desktop Outlook calendar, and promptly I missed two important appointments.
When a scheduled update comes your way, make sure you backup all contacts, photos, data etc, before allowing an update to perform.
I have a plan with Singtel in Singapore for my Blackberry curve 9300 (Unlimited data roam overseas) and I got a message saying I had 15 MB usage and they explained applications could be running? I just want to receive emails as normal
I am a Sony Xperia Z5 user. I have problem while i am talking in phone the incmoming voice are too high. There is any shortcut available that could reduce the volume?. I know one option that volume botton can reduce while talking.
I'm looking for a suitable Motorola handset with GPS to deploy on a high altitude photography experiment.It needs to be able to send a regular stream of sms with GPS coordinates. This part may require an app or modding of some kind.It needs to operate on UMTS850Mhz.Can anyone think of a handset that would be suitable?
I'm a E72 user together with a Parrot CK3000EVO Bluetooth Car Handsfree attached to my VW Stereo.I earlier used this setup with a HTC Diamond. Back then I didn't receive phone sounds (like SMS, reminders etc) through the Handsfree. Only Phone calls were transmitted. However, with my E72 every single sound is transmitted to the BT Handsfree including Maps voice guidance. The later is OK, but it is way louder then for example Phone Call Volume.It also interrupts ongoing phone calls which is highly irritating.So I've got two questions in hope for help:Anyone knows how to tune the sound from Maps? Lower the Volume?Is there a way to stop sound like alerts, reminders, bleeps etc on the E72 to be delivered to BT Handsfree?Is there a way to stop Maps interrupting Phone Calls?
Okay, the video problem only happens when I use High resolution Video Mode( Tv and Widescreen Mode).It always lags when I play it. What happened? Is my phone capable to play High Res Video?
Can any one tell me how can I make my K800i phones sound more high and is there any software that can password my file for example: my music folder or camera folder my software info: R8BF003 prgCXC1250210_Generic_WI R8BF003 Erom: R3A022 Customization is T-Mobile Uk
I want another high end feature phone from SE. Satio is the only 12MP phone out there.Can we not have one with a good flash, more memory, 8MP camera and better video? slider?The W995 is not sitting 2nd in the phones4 u chart for nothing. The iphone is top and the satio is no where to be seen as it's a brick and useless. Touch screen phones should always be an oiption but not the standard!..oh and no Symbian either!
Just upgraded, recently, to a flash new 1520 and I absolutely love it! So big, clear and brilliant to use. However I have just discovered, this morning, that I cannot fix or set the camera function in one particular area.
I noticed that a 5mp photo gets saved along with a high-def photo when I use the Pro Cam - which I don't want to stop using because I love it - but when I went into the settings of it, I found that I cannot only keep the high-def photo alone, it is either the small res photo alone or the small and high def together and that's it, I cannot just save the high-def photo alone and if I delete the photo, they both delete.
Is there any way I can just save the high-def photo alone, by downloading an app of some sort? Would a photo file manager work? I just don't see the point in putting such a fabulous camera on a phone and having it automatically set with such odd options.
I bought Sony Xperia Z3 Dual 4 days ago and update it . I have one big problem in camera because when i want to record video , after some minutes i receive this message :
"Camera is temporarily unavailable due to high temperature. Please wait for your device to cool down before you can use the camera"
even for rear camera images are noisy in bad quality ||||
I still have not figured out what is the most efficient way to transfer the highly resoluted pictures taken with my Lumia 1520 to my Surface Pro.
Inarguably, I've adjusted the settings on my Lumia 1520 to save both a 5MP and a highly resoluted picture. Also, the automatic OneDrive upload is enabled. However, the pictures on OneDrive seem not to be the highly resoluted ones. There are files to be found with something like "_high" on my Lumia 1520 but transferring them manually is painstaking as they are among many other different files (e.g. thumbnails).
So I know with 1020, if I simply share photos on to facebook, it will use the less quality 5MP photos, so I have to download the photos manually on my laptop via usb cord with the phone or from onedrive.. But would I have to download the videos from my phone or onedrive first before uploading on to facebook too, for the highest quality *with the smallest size possible? My videos are easily half a GB!
I tried to upgrade the iphone to ios 5.1.1 when the download was complete, phone went to recovery mode and the upgrade process failed, the phone never came back to normal mode.
I am running stock 5.1.1 on my Nexus 5, and have recently noticed reduced battery life. When running Quick System Info PRO, I see that "system_server - BluetoothPhoneService" is constantly consuming anywhere from 15-60% cpu, usually 20-30%. I have tried restoring all the Google factory ROMs one by one, starting with 5.0 (LRX21O) up to 5.1.1 (LMY48I), yet the issue persists. Toggling Bluetooth doesn't work and Bluetooth functions normally when needed, but is usually kept off.
I'm rather dissapointed with the E72 when it comes to GPS usage. It seems to have low sensitivity and loses the signal quite often (in the car). My benchmark is a stand-alone antenna (Holux) but even using a 6220 Classic with the internal GPS I seem to get a more solid GPS reception. Right now I'm still using my old Holux since the E72 doesn't seem to be reliable enough to do in-car navigation. While on the outside it appears to work slightly better but still takes ages for a first fix (with AGPS or without).
