[SOLVED] NOTE 10.1 2014 edition - fake battery percentage / battery drain issue topic

hi guys,

I have learnt a lot from xda and had been using this site for all of my android issues and mods. This is just fabulous.

So, I have been using my Note 1 0.1 since a couple of weeks and it's battery was acting in a funny manner.

PROBLEM
Sometimes it played well down to 60% from a full charge , then down to 15% in a minute and then down to 4% in next 5 minutes. Then i would restart the tablet and watch the battery suddenly having around 35% battery. THIS WAS SO WEIRD.

I used many battery calibrators from play store but none of them worked.

SOLUTION
And then out of frustration, I pulled out the back cover, took out the battery connector, and then placed it firmly, back to its place. switched it on used it for couple of minutes, and noticed the battery percentage. restarted, YAYY! same battery percentage. used it again, restarted, checked again. did it more often and noticed that the issue was solved.

CONCLUSION
The connector of the battery on the main board gets loosen up with time (maybe) and there is interruption of current transfer.
therefore the battery gets it's funny character.

HOPE I SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM, CHEERS!

[SOLVED] General android Icon with SD topic

I hope this is the right place to put this if not please move to the right location. Feel free to edit this post to make it cleaner or clearer
Thank you

I have seen a lot of posts with "help default Android icon with SD Card" but not a lot of answers so here is my attempt to explain and solve this dilemma.
this icon has appear when I moved apps to my SD card and sometimes this happen with apps not on the SD card.
How this happens: the place where the app icon is stored is not mounted until the OS has booted so Android uses the stock icon.
I was screwing around installing all kinds of apps to see if anything worked and finally found an app that worked it is called
"Fast Reboot" by Great Bytes Software on the play store.
what it does: "Simulates a reboot by closing/restarting all core and user processes and thus frees up memory" ie your icons are "refreshed"

After I reboot my phone or tablet I open this app and bam my icons are back
As always you should support products that work.

How My Aux / Headphone Issue Got Solved topic

Just thought I'd let you guys know what happened in my case, as it may be helpful for others?

My initial LG G3 - purchased in early October from a local AT&T store in NYC - had all of the Aux issues possible, pretty much.

Often times the cord wouldn't be recognized. When it was, it would sometimes stop, especially during breaks / pauses between songs, and start playing out the internal speaker again. Very often it would trigger pause, skip track, volume change, and the LG voice command app when jostled - or even held still tbh. Loud clicks between songs. Etc.

When I updated to the latest firmware, it didn't help much; the symptoms seemed to be slightly less frequent, but were still there.

I eventually called up AT&T and they immediately agreed to ship out a warranty replacement.

I expressed my concern that a lot of LG G3 phones were exhibiting this, and they said that the one they'd ship out to me - like all of their replacement phones - has undergone rigorous testing to prevent repeated returns.

When the new phone came in, there were similar issues, although much less plentiful. Then I realized it was on the old firmware; I let it update, and since then it's been 100% perfect ^_^

As I believe that the serial number probably has to do with the batch it came from, I'll note partial serials of each:

Code:

---

407KPAE****** - Issues unresolved by firmware update
408KPRW****** - Issues resolved by firmware update

---

So I guess try to make sure that your S/N is from a 408 batch, and not a 407 batch?

If other people with AT&T LG G3's with and without aux port issues could comment in this thread with the first handful of characters from their S/N, it may be helpful in narrowing down which batches are able to have their issues resolved and which are perma-****ed
