my second battery is aging..screen on time is now max 5 hours, when battery was new it was able to reach 7 hours...battery is 8 months old..seems that huawei batteries have short lifetime, no more huawei devices for me

Battery in MP

It doesn't matter what ROM You use, the battery problem is with all roms, stock also. In my case

the battery drops from 30 to 0 and then after some time I can still switch on my MP.

I think that the problem is coulmeter firmware or bad quality of some Huawei batteries.

I was able to make custom build of MP S7-301x kernel from after_silence 's source

and I made change in battery power left readout function/e. g. newer drops to 0 anymore and that's prevent android from switch off /.

The difference was not so quite impressive, because the battery protection circuit board still switch off the device when voltage drops to 3400v.

And voltage drops to critical levels happens quite often after heavily usage...

PS. Sorry for my English.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tksla:
I think that I finally founded source of odd battery life in some MP's.

Try to go downgrade to Honeycomb firmware, in my case /very the same as Yours/ that was the solution.

After downgrade the battery seems towork perfectly fine :). The coulometer firmware was the main reason of strange battery readings. I took Honeycomb version(AD) and injected it to ICS firmware after D0 version. Then after update from HC to ICS coulometer firmware stays the same and battery behaves like new:) .
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
Can you share more how you do that? I'll be very interested to try out.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
So hard to find the Honeycomb firmware. Finally found one. Mounted the system.img.ext4 on a linux machine and manage to find the coulometer files in /etc/coulometer. I replaced the ones in the ICS firmware with these files. Hopefully this will bring back my Mediapad to its full battery life of 4 to 5 hours..... :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
can you upload that files?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
These 3 files are taken from the Mediapad Honeycomb firmware. They are located in the etc/coulometer directory when you mount the system.img.ext. Replace the ones on the ICS firmware that you want to use.

Note that in the update.zip file, you will also find the file bq27510_pro.bqfs. I also replaced it with the one from the Honeycomb firmware.

If you want to download the complete Honeycomb firmware, go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1730765. The first one listed "S7-301u V100R001C284B011 Honeycomb Android 3.2 General Version" is still working.

The coulometer firmware upgrade happen when you flash the Honeycomb or ICS firmware. I'm not sure how to upgrade it any other way. So in the end, what I did was that I download my Mediapad back to Honeycomb, then upgrade back to ICS again using the modified firmware as mentioned above.

P.S. My Mediapad battery life is back to normal now. I can play games for a long time without the battery level dropping suddenly to critical level. Right now, I am trying to run the battery out, then I'm doing a full charge before doing a battery calibration. :D :victory:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
thanks, can I use them on CM10.1?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
I did not try. I noticed that the same files in the CM 10.1 were even older. Maybe it will help.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tksla:
Hi guys, I'm happy that my suggestions where useful. In my opinion the coulometer firmware update could be triggered from ProjectActMenu.apk *only on stock huawei firmware like Android4.0_C232B005*.

After You put magic code (works only on stock roms) *#*#2846579#*#* in phone dialer, there You can find option for firmware update, check current version etc. Not sure that You can do downgrade, but for sure proper firmware files needs to be placed in /etc/coulometer/. A simple hack: after You put proper files (version AD) then edit the bq27510_vesion file, for example from AD, to D1, this trick should allow the update program to overwrite newer version with the old and good one. Other and in my opinion simpler and 100% working solution is to go back to Honeycomb, because there is no current version check, and firmware is simply overwritten.

And one more suggestion: don't go directly form Honeycomb to CyanogenMod, first update to ICS. If not, some strange problems occurs.

Other way to do update from HC to ICS, and save "the good" firmware is to mount system.img.ext4 from ICS firmware (update.zip) under linux (Ubuntu command: sudo mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /media/'somefoldername'), and simply remove files from /etc/coulometer. And don't forget to also remove bq27510_pro.bffs file from update.zip. Then ICS update function will be halted, and Honeycomb firmware will be saved. (not tested but should works too).

In my case the screen-on time is first time ever over 3 hours and goes even to 5 now ( all time on 3G - is more battery consuming than Wi-Fi ).

P.S. Sorry for delayed response, I was on road from Copenhagen to my home town in Poland :) Thank's to surfdday for his "know how" - I made it exactly the same way.

Maybe someone will make some good tutorial, about this fix. There is thread about extending battery on-screen time in "development" section, I think this is good place also.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
I replaced that files and wiped cache and dalvik, I will report if any changes happens
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
All thanks to you too. I was giving up hope on my mediapad and looking for alternative. This battery fix is all I need. I love my mediapad. Don't find anything bad about it, and the built - in mobile data and phone functions makes it better than other tablets without. I'll back to stock ICS ROM and it is still fast and responsive.

If anyone needs help on this, I'll be around. :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
does not work on cm10.1, battery life still the same
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] surfdday:
I guess you will have to downgrade the firmware back to Honeycomb or ICS. Confirm that you can get normal battery life out of the Mediapad, then upgrade back to CM 10.1. In the CM 10.1 zip file, replace the files in the /etc/coulometer/ directory from the Honeycomb firmware.

I may go back to CM 10.1. Still undecided.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tksla:
I think that this fix is not addressed to You, beacouse You posted somewhere before that Yours MP were like 7 hrs screen on time, and now is just 5. My MP sience i bought him was never able to get more than 3 hours. But straight from shop I updated from Honeycomb to ICS. And from Yours post I figured out that something is wrong with my MP's battery life...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
when my battery was new I was able to reach 7 hours of screen on time on cm10.1...seems that huawei batteries does not last many charge cycles before losing capacity
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] guayaquilander:
Thank you very it works

i can confirm that this is working on both stock rom 4.0.3 and in cm10.1. it's so simple this is what i did:

1) Downloaded the zip file from post #49

2) Extracted the 3 files

3) Used rootexplorer to make the directory /etc/coulometer writable

4)Pasted the 3 downloaded files to /etc/coulometer

5)Mount this directory as read only

6)Reboot device.

I'm obtaining 7 hours or so in cm 10.1 with a brand new battery.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] .dredd.:
Big thanks for this method.... my Mediapad looks to regained the initial 4-5 hours display time (continuous youtube and browsing mixed).

Now I will flash original latest ICS and replace the coulometer files, will make my settings and will see how it will work.

Thanks again.:good:

hello,

will be this battery for 12 USD good?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item338c6b7aa3

because the other link in older post here is for 99 USD battery - why so expensive?

or this one might be better? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4000mAh-bat...415?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item258a45d1a7

if i have issue with mediapad where battery lasts suddenly now only 10 minutes, it shows charging 90%, then suddenly it drops to 40% while still on charger - is this battery issue, or could be other hardware problem?

rom: 10.1-20130910-unofficial-hws7300u (android 4.2.2; kernel 3.0.95-aftersilence-g535027d)

do you know please if this rom has good coulometer firmware?

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lecorbusier:
Looks like some coulometer issue. And the battery should be fine, if someone's charging 100 bucks, he must be a crook, except it's with installation & shipping(of the tablet) .
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tksla:
It seems, that after two years finally my mediapad 7 works fine. Now I have got 14% of battery down,after more then 1hr of screen on time.

Now I think that something went wrong with this coulometer firmware upgrade procedure. I was using honeycomb firmware for some time and today upgraded to ice cream sandwitch but on first start it stucked much longer on "Coulometer firmware updating..." information.

In my opinion this update procedure sometimes fails to complete successfully and thats is the reason of battery problems...

There is update log file on SD card root. it shows that coulometer update procedure returned code 9.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrysonJack:
I have a rooted GT-P6210 that was working perfectly fine and last night I updated Busy Box Free from Google Play. Busy Box Free reported an error with the install and shortly after I noticed that my Wi-Fi would no longer connect. It just reports "Error" after trying to connect to Wi-Fi.

I tried re-rooting my device but that didn't fix my Wi-Fi issues. I researched everywhere I could think of to unroot my device but all the threads seem to refer to guides that I don't see and firmware links that no longer work. I managed to find a copy of Odin3-v3.04 but I still don't have instructions on how to do it nor do I have the firmware that I need.

I decided I would try going back to factory settings by powering off the device and booting into system recovery. I have done a wipe data/factory reset multiple times but Wi-Fi still doesn't work and I don't even know if that removed the root job I did.

When I plug my device into my PC and run Samsung Kies it reports that I have the latest firmware PDA:LA3 / CSC:LA3 (XAR)

So I am stuck and not sure what to do at this point. I have a pretty useless device that won't connect to Wi-Fi. I don't know if I wait around for ICS and install that if it will fix my problem.

Is there anyone that could help me restore my device to factory settings with actual guides, and provide working links to the firmware I would need?

Thanks for your help,

Bryson

Hi to everybody.

After soft bricking my sim-unlocked X8 due to install attempt of the lates tGingerbread v23 rom with alfadons and overclock-module, I had to use SEUS to flash an OEM rom and baseband.

Now I tried to re-root and unlock the bootloader several times but unfortunately the last string in cmd window is: not recognized simlock... or something similar.

After doing a lot of forum search there are plenty of hints telling that there's nothing to do. no possibility to install custom rom.

I tried it anyway and still soft brick (SE logo appears and nothing else..)..

So I decided to re-flash the OEM Rom and use the phone this way BUT......it works fine only WITHOUT a sim card inserted. If the sim card is inserter no icons appear, no button working. The only thing you see is the background immage...

Can anybody help me??????

I have Eclipse 1.1 (old I know) it was great when it first came out and I flashed it. But now I need something new bc its not working as good, and I know theres better versions and other ROMs that are possibly better.

Any suggestions on which ROM to flash and why?
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Depends on what you want. If you want a fully functional ROM I'd check out the latest edition of Eclipse.

Cyanogenmod 7.2 rc1 has a small amount of bugs, but is for the most part fully functional. HDMI mirroring doesn't work and that's the one and only downside to me. I still use CM7 as a "daily driver" so to speak. Lots of customization and with the hacks/mods found in this forum I get excellent signal strength, connection speeds and battery life. Wifi still sleeps when the screen's off, but with the v3 build.prop mashup it reconnects on waking within seconds every single time.

Cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 is somewhat buggy as it's in its early alpha stages. There's no camera yet, but DZK already said there will be a fix for alpha 4. Same with aces miui. It's real slick, being on ics. I like it, but won't stay until there's a working camera and more stability. When that happens this rom will be simply amazing. Overall it's pretty sweet and at the very least, worth checking out/playing around with.....

MIUI4 will be awesome too once the bugs are sorted and fixed. As stated before- the next release will also have a working camera. MIUI is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite but right now its way too buggy for me to use. More so than cm9. Couldn't deal with the bugs :( Ace is hard at work bringing us more updates and when he finally gets this where he wants it MIUI will more than likely replace cm7 as my daily rom. It's a great ROM in general but I couldn't stay on miui for more than like an hour, personally.

Definitely go into each roms topic and check out the screenshots and videos if there are any. Also look for the working features and known bugs/issues. Honestly I say give them ALL a try and see what best suits you. I only really posted about the newer ones. If I remember correctly molten isn't being updated anymore after 2.3 and I keep forgetting liberty even exists, lol.......

Cyanogenmod all day
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I started with Eclipse 1.3 and then went to 2.1 running scripts and about everything else with it. Then when CM9 alpha came out, I had to try it. CM9 alpha works great for me. I needed my camera, so I flashed back to CM7. When the beta version of CM9 rolls around, that's gonna be the ticket!

IMHO- CM7

I can't believe how smooth and FAST my phone is with CM7. The camera works great, very little to no lag at all with anything I have found. There's all kinds of customizations for it. I'm not running any scripts, only CM7 and SD Increase from the market. My phone is fun again and I'm not hesitant to show somebody up with a whyphone like I was before. Try it and see.

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Are you pretty good with computers, tech, etc.? If you want a fast update, just flash CM7 since it is on the same kernel as the version of Eclipse you are on. If you try to update to the latest Eclipse, you have to go through the process of using the SBF to get to stock, updating to 2.3.5 then flash the new version. Its up to you though. CM7 and Eclipse are the most stable ROMs we have at the moment until some bugs get worked out in CM9.
[Motorola Droid X2] xxbgjhn159xx:

I would use cm7. Just because its stable and has the best UI in my option and has pretty good performance. or you could wait for cm9 to get more stable with a working camera and better performance.

Liberty 3

Just Rooted and Flashed for the first time.

I went with Eclipse 2.2.1 - because the HDMI support was kind of a deal breaker for me. (Netflix, FPSE, SnesEX, etc. on a big screen!) But I was wondering why none of you mentioned Liberty 3? I haven't tried anything other than Eclipse 2.2.1 so I don't have an educated opinion to share, but other than CM7 it seemed like Liberty 3 and Eclipse were the two other "stable" ROMs in the DEV section.

Is Liberty "bad" or do you guys just not use it, and why?

Also, I flashed what I *thought* was the latest build of Eclipse 2.2.1 (from the official thread) but there are only 5 pull down toggles on my notification panel - I thought there were supposed to be 7? Did I miss something?
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
I haven't been on eclipse in a while so I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I thought there was an option in settings to set those.

I can't say for sure why nobody mentioned liberty though, it might be because it doesn't offer much compared to eclipse. Also, it was supported for maybe 2 months max while I'm pretty sure nitro is still pushing out updates for the x2(somebody correct me if I'm wrong).
[Motorola Droid X2] Strubie42:
I totally agree with this guy. It all depends on what you want out of your phone. If you can sacrifice the extra cool doohickies I say CM9 all the way cause alpha 4 just came out and it's pretty sweet, working camera too.
