I have installed Street Fighter IV on my device. Want to download game data on device itself. problem is that it needs to keep screen awake for doing so. I am afraid I will get a burn in, keeping it awake overnight. Any solution. ?
ELSE
Suppose I download game data on torrent and just copy it to my device in appropriate folder, will it work ? I saw a description which used Titanium Backup. Mine is not rooted. do I need to use Titanium App?

No your screen will not get burned if you let it awake but it'll drain your battery so you'll have to connect to a power source.

Why don't you just turn your screen off or download the data from computer??

I have got my screen replaced once (during warranty period). Is quite a common issue in forums. Was a similar reason earlier also. Trying to know any alternative as download will NOT occur with screen off.

If you copy it to the correct destination, it should work... They might mentioned the TB mod, cause it's much easier just to tap restore, and you dont have to google for the destination, it takes it to the correct place
Don't do that.
Use torrent or something else.
Coz one I was on YouTube in portrait mode for at least 1/2 hour... half of my screen got burnt with a blue shade. Thankfully it has gone now after a week (it ideally can't go... but I might have reversed burned it without knowing). Try your best not to burn it, it will look ugly and might need to be replaced.

Screen burn occurs when you take a photo of the sun at a specific angle. According to my knowledge. Correct me if I am wrong.
Couldn't you just use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby it puts the display off and keeps the phone on. Also i have done this loads of times and no sign of burn in. Oops sorry just read you're not rooted it may not work

Wifi Sleep
Go to the following:
"System Settings" -> "Wi-Fi" -> Menu (three dots or button etc) -> "advanced" -> "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and change to something like "Only when plugged in"
(if this option is available on your ROM)

Just a reminder for anyone having an issue with games / applications not being full screen. I have heard this can cause an issue with older software but have yet to run into an issue. Download spare parts from the market (free) and run the app. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck compatibility mode. Reboot the phone and your applications should now be full screen.

XiiaLive Lite was the only app that was giving me that issue and your suggestion worked. Thanks!!!
Hmm I downloaded spare parts and the app just Fcs over and over..
I'm trying to hold off on doing the OTAs but I may not have a choice .
the reason why some of the apps dont fill up the screen is because the 3D's screen resolution higher than normal
Yeah I needed it for the sirius app, surprised side since this isn't the first qhd display

I have not taken any of the OTAs so that should not be related. Maybe try menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select spare parts and force stop and clear data. Also check to make sure its installed to the phone not SD card.

I was using magic gem on my hero, looked great, now it is too small on the screen with my 3vo and after installing spare parts and unchecking compatibility mode and rebooting, it is even smaller. No biggy, I am sure they will have one out for the 3vo soon with the right resolution.
worked for me
Settlers HD did not take up the whole screen on my EVO 3D, spare parts and now it looks perfect, thanks
when i turn my phone on, i want to use it straight away. the sgs2 takes an age to become usable due to media scanning which is pointless unless it's just been connected to a PC, then there's all the apps loading in the background which makes the phone unusable until that's all finished.
when i turn it on, it's slow to respond to even the pin entering part. the unlock pattern screen doesn't register at all for 30 seconds sometimes and registers an error meaning you have to wait another 30 seconds to do it again.
short of forcably uninstalling every single app on the phone and not having an sd card in there, how the hell can i make it usable as soon as i unlock it? meaning no scanning, no app loading etc etc etc?
Do you expect to be able to use your pc as soon as you press the power button?
Just have patience...
I kind of understand your problem with the media scanner. It does seem to run unnecessarily a lot of the time. The app problem though is just part of android. You could download an app i think it is called autostarts and you can disable a lot of apps from starting up straight away.

booting, not long really. it's the delay in the phone being usable once booted that's the prob. best rom? everyone'll have a diff opinion. we do have CM but i've never got on with their roms. oxygen also was laggy so went back ti criskelo
Rescan media Root, this app can disable media scanning, but I think this phone has pretty fast boot.
it does, it's what happens once it's booted to the homescreen thats the problem.
will try that, ta.
as far as i've heard, the scan disabling only affects the stock player which i don't use.
Up to 30 seconds? ****ing hell. For me boot time takes no longer than 10 seconds from pressing the power button to getting onto my homescreen, from there I can do whatever I want, weather the media scanner is running or not. Just root your device and freeze the media scanner.
i have rooted. i'm guessing it's all the apps being loaded in the background more than anything else.
when i connect via usb, then disconnect - the scanning doesn't impact usability
Can't u disable media scanner?

Maybe there are fixes for my issues. As I am new to android I'm not sure how to get them corrected. Here's a list. Maybe someone can land a hand.
How to keep screen on while on a charger.
How to make the GPS turn on and off when app starts and finishes.
How to set so it can detect a known wifi source, then activate wifi.
How to get the long lasting battery results everyone seems to be getting.
How to set the email app to open to the emails versus the screen to select which account to view as I have multiple accounts set up.
How to keep the lockscreen front turning off 3 seconds after I hit the wake button but not swiping to unlock.
That's about it for now. I come from an iphone ecosystem and am used to a few features my JB iphone provides. I'm sure ill have more "how to" questions.

There's an amazing app called Tasker that will do a lot of your wish list. It's all about contexts - e.g. "on external power" "App {x} is in the foreground." It's the best ~$6 you'll ever spend, and never want to have another phone with out it. Almost all of it's awesome functions work without root, too.

Thanks for the support. If I came from a walled garden, then why would I expect these functions that should be so easy to do. I have gone through the settings and came to the conclusion I needed help. Hence this post. If you can't help, I understand. Not everyone has that type of intelligence.

You can then clear many unnecessary tasks that may be running in the background. If you don't see the obvious culprit there, you may have to dig deeper...

>This is a funny question if you think about it, because how could it detect a known wifi source without wifi on? I use Tasker, too. You can easily make a profile while connected to your wifi check for "state: wifi near (toggle wifi), turn wifi on. You can set it to run when you unlock your screen, for instance. You can also set it up to turn on your screen based on location, but remember that if you use GPS too much...
Tasker is fun to play with anyway.

As to you wanting the lockscreen to stay on longer, there are several lockscreen replacements you could use. I'm not sure which ones have the option besides widgetlocker though. With widgetlocker, you can set the lockscreen timeout to various durations. I know it worked on my infuse, not sure about the note though.
The downside is that it costs a couple bucks and it will drain your battery a bit if I remember correctly because it keeps the device in a wakelock and does not allow deep sleep. Its not a huge battery drain, but it does some. However, if the timeout is more important than a tiny amount of battery drain, I suggest doing that.

I have noticed an improvement using JD and that's actual not placebo. I get your point though on an app that runs to save battery. But whatever its doing, its working better than whatever I'm doing without it.

Hi...
It's been a week, I experience severe battery drain...
At the night I have 100 % battery, then in the morning it's dead because no power left... I have to recharge it again.. I didn't use it... I just left it with wifi active...
When I check the usage... It show that 80 % consumed by "Media"..
What the hell is this application /services?
Other time, I tried to turn off that services.. But it turn on again automatically...
I did try factory reset, but I still have this issue...
And, a quarter part of the screen (top) is very hot while other part isn't...
Does anyone know what is going on with my XZU?
Thanks in advance...

Would be great to have a screenshot. Also can you check you wifi data details? Media app is use for media storage, DRM content, downloads and download manager. So to make it simple, it downloaded from night to morning and drained your battery. Do you see apps from the market you didn't download manually installed on your phone? Like a game with over 1gb of data or anything else (if you choices option to auto backup it restore all the apps you use from the market on your previous devices). Or did you put any file to download on any browser reboot our phone before the download is finish (Dolphin browser keep the link in memory and resume or restart download at boot).
First of all I would advise you to put your phone on stamina mod, and set it up if you use some apps like Viber, whatsapp, Facebook and etc... It really improve battery drain while you are not using your phone.

After that, I tried factory reset...and my last factory reset is last night... and this time, I havent activated my Google account and everything.. just to make sure that no account is activated...
Regarding stamina mod, I have tried it... even used Green Power Premium app (they are very useful)...but only after that issue occurred, then I try to leave it as factory default (I didnt install anything or activate any apps)... and as I said, it still drains the battery severly... and this so called "Media" remains there...
As you can see in the attached pics (sorry for the orientation)..
Thanks ...

Look at this screen shot. On data usage you can show wifi usage as well. Then look if media is listed and how many kb or mb it used. Don't get confuse by the dual panel, my XZU is rooted and I use xposed framework.

download 'betterbattery stats'
Its on the playstore. It will tell you what the wakelocks are. 'media' may be something totally unreleated, and its just what your system thinks is hogging the battery...
do you have LightFlow installed? someone mentioned in another forum that it was killing his battery with that app installed

Since it has just been factory reset, the historical data usage is gone.. I will check tommorrow if the issue is still there

No, I didnt...in fact, I didnt install any app nor activate any account (gmail, twitter, etc)
Currently, I m recharging it and will be 100% capacity...and will see if it will get drained ...
How about you guys, is this "Media" service also running in the background of your device?
Thanks...

PS. My device has been 'up' for 2 days... 'media' isn't on my list of apps drawing current.

Media is not draining anything for me as well. Also just few kb on my data usage, but I remember I got it on my Nexus 7 as well, after a full wipe and flashing a new ROM at morning it was empty. But the day after it wasn't anymore.
You said you didn't registered any gmail account yet. Did it happen as well when you had a Gmail account registered? Just wonder if there is not a bug with the phone connect to Internet and the lack of an account link to playstore.

Before factory reset, yes, my Gmail is activated... now, not yet activated..
BTW, it's been around 15 minutes since I unplugged the charger.. now battery capacity is down to 91%...
It s just standby with wifi active...."Media" consumption 72%
Data service is only around 150 Kb
I just dont understand what is happening...
Maybe battery is damaged?
Do what I suggested. It will tell you exactly what the problem is. Link you to a site explaining what to do for that particular Wake lock.
You can also run an app called 'cool tool'
It will run in real time and tell you what CPU frequency you are running
Here is a video I made about the heat issues of the S4.. It will help you too

Hi, I think the reason of battery drains is not related with downloading data..
I dont know how it happens, but it seems that my device always active even if the screen is off.
I installed app called "wakelock detector"..
The media is the service that keep my device "awake"... it prevents/blocks the system from sleeping...
My question is what is the cause? is my device get infected by virus or malware?
Any suggestion to solve this issue? or is it hardware defect?
EDIT:
I have solved the problem.
I reformatted the sd card and factory reset.
Now, it's back to normal again.
It seems that the system keep on trying to scan the media file in the sd card.
There must be something wrong with my sd card (may be bad sector/cluster).
After reformatted it, everything seems normal.
Cheers

I'm not familiar with that app. Did you try betterbattery stats? It should have told you what it was, and linked you to a site explaining what the app or service is. Then you can freeze that service or uninstall it if its not a system app.
I have a tremendous problem. Everything is OK until I put the phone on charge.. Then weird things tend to happen.
1. The brightness goes to the maximal level even though I've set it at a lower level.
2. While charging, the screen is constantly ON, rolling some ****ty videos advertisements.
3. My home screen tab changes to the central one.
4. MY PICTURES AND VIDEOS DISAPPEAR!!! That applies to ALL THE PICTURES AND VIDEOS THAT I'VE TAKEN. The only ones that stay are the pics send me from WhatsApp and the screenshots of my screen.
The phone is with basic settings. Any help will be appreciated.

First of all thanks for the quick answer!
The brightness isn't on Auto, but that's the least of the 4 problems that I have.
When it comes to the screen the "Stay awake" it turned off and the screen is still ON while charging. The ads are about the phone itself "Sony Xperia Z2 the best phone bla bla bla"
My biggest problem is the loss of pics/videos.

Oh.... Problem is serious than I thought.... I think somehow displaymode has turned on and it resets all your data or hiding your data. I am not sure how it happened, but I think if you haven't root or unlock the bootloader you are better to take it to shop and ask?
Also before take it to shop try to connect to Z2 to your PC, there might be some photo left in internal storage?
P.S I found that enter the "*#*#73556673#*#*" to dialer turns off demo mode. I am not sure if it works for you but it worse try it.
Still looking for how to get back your photos and videos. I will share the solution as soon as I find it

Man.. I can't express how thankful I'm. I typed the code you gave me in the dialer and it worked. All the problems are fixed.
Is your vid and pics back also?

No, they aren't. But since the pics/videos that I'll make from now on will be saved, It's all cool.
