Battery drawing less current

Hello,

I have bought a new battery. I tried changing chargers and wires. However, I installed a widget and got to know my battery draws only 233ma current from the mains as well as USB charging.

Is it the normal stats considering genuine charger comes with 0.7~1 A O/P ? I believe this is definitely less than the normal current flow.

How could I reinstate the normal flow?

Is there a way to reconfigure the circuit as pointed out in above reply?

Could please point out the hardware failure? How can I be certain of it?

Please help. I'm in deep need of it. :(

Symptoms:

Area near the camera gets damn hot. (Temp: 70~80 deg cel)

Battery does show progressive charging. It takes more than 15 mins to increase the charge by 1%. This is definitely due to low current flowing.

Above of all, this is degrading my battery life. Thanks in advance :)

In Oak Ridge, TN I was getting 4G LTE with my EVO 4 LTE, but with the M8, only 3G. 4G has been here since last summer, although it is not on Sprint's map (what good is an inaccurate map?).

The local Sprint store said this would happen, but I do not understand why. Doesn't the new phone have all the bands of the old one?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jxr94:
Is the M8 a sprint spark device? If so, the newer sprint spark(tri-band LTE) devices rely on the surrounding towers to have a technology called Circuit Switch Fallback (CSFB) to quickly fall to 3G for text and calls. If your towers do not have this, the phone will stay in 3G only to make sure you can still receive those. To test if this is your problem, try enabling LTE-only mode on your device (not sure how to do this, do not own the M8) and see if it connects. If it does connect to LTE, this is your problem, and the solution is to just wait it out.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
I feel your pain man. I'm in Maryville and the same thing has happened to me. Been spoiled on 4G for almost a year now. Is your 3g a little spotty too since getting the m8? Mine randomly loses signal altogether.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
Mine randomly loses 3g. Solution is to actually put the phone in cdma only mode. My phone wants to connect to lte and when it can't it disconnects and goes to 3g. I'm in sevierville
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bachatu:
Strange, I've had a totally different experience in Orlando. I've received similiar or better 4G service and even connected to Spark in some areas of town. Could it be something with the network in your area?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
So crazy that they've not fixed the towers with the circuit fallback yet. I remember when the g2 came out this area was experiencing this, but i figured it'd be fixed by now.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
My contact at the store said mid April for sevier. Oak ridge surprises me though
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jarome1:
No LTE only mode

Just LTE/CDMA or automatic
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jarome1:
The Oak Ridge store said the same thing, but I disbelieve it. Sprint should not charge extra for high-speed data if they cannot deliver it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
I'm not charged extra. I pay for unlimited and I can still use it lol...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jarome1:
Oh yes you do. There is $10 a month added if you have a high-speed smart phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Ascertion:
$10 fee is a smartphone fee, not a data fee.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jarome1:
It is a fee

I did not pay it on my HTC Hero, which was a smart phone, but not LTE. The store told me it was for phones with LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
I also have a framily plan. I have no fees added to my bill. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JimSmith94:
I asked about this in the One Max forum but this one seems more active. Is there a way/setting to allow this phone to use LTE for now, like my Note 3 does, until Spark is fully implemented, or has Sprint in their infinite wisdom decided that it can only do Spark or 3G?

I can sort of understand why they didn't include the 4G WiMax and LTE antennas in phones when that switchover was made, but Spark is just the capability of using three LTE radios together. Since the LTE radios are there, I would think/hope that it's possible. Or am I missing something?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cincyelite22:
Spark phones do not have svlte radios which is simultaneous voice and LTE. This means it can run LTE and 3g at the same time. Phones that aren't spark do this. Spark phones rely on towers that csfb since this tells the phone when to switch back to 3g to get a call or text. If its not there it stays on 3g so you don't miss your calls
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
In a way this is retrogressing. I dont see why Sprint doesnt just pass the CDMA stuff onto the LTE network.. It wouldnt be that hard....
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drigout:
I have the same problem in the twin cities I either get Spark or 3G but never regular LTE. Spark is not even close to being fully deployed here so it sucks. Spark is awesome though 30+ mbps
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cincyelite22:
Voice over LTE is planned in the future for them but it requires upgrades to towers to support it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
If you happen to never get 4G in areas you previously did, Sprint may have f_cked up on activation. More specifically, they may have an incorrect UCID (SIM number) I had this problem and after a while, it dawned on me, it was possible that they messed up. Maybe that'll help someone out!? (:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] allynsky:
I remember the "good ol' days" when I could talk on my Evo 4G lte and still have a 3G or 4G connection. Why are they going backwards on their phones capabilities??!!!??? It's getting frustrating!!!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jordan4320:
I am in the Twin cities and I have LTE from forest lake to Brooklyn Park. What area you not getting LTE? I have the M8 as well and have no issues with LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drigout:
I work at the U of M and I get spark there but 3G from St Anthony Main too Columbia Heights then Spark Again I use to have LTE All the way home.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jordan4320:
OK good to know, I will run an app to see if I stay connected to LTE on my drive like o used to
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Epix4G:
Try a app named advanced signal status. .. it allows you to only use lte on note 3 .... it may work on HTC don't know

That allows lte. Heads up though that blocks calls and texts

Edit

Bottom is lte at first. 2nd is dual band lte according to the app. 3rd is evdo. This is in an area not yet ready for spark devices.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Raech:
When you connect to Spark does the sun looking Spark thing spin? Or does that mean it's trying not meaning its definitely working? I also am getting better 4G LTE signal than I did before with my Evo 4G LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bachatu:
Well, I believe the Spark Sunburst only spins when the data connection is actively transferring data. If not it means you have a signal.

I'm curious if the Sunburst only shows up with Spark or if it shows with a regular LTE connection too.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Raech:
Me too. Anyone sure?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
It shows up for any type of lte. The spinning means data is active.

Sent from my HTC M8WHL
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Raech:
Hmmm at work I see it spin some but I still see LTE too.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bachatu:
Oh OK, I thought it was Spark because I've been connecting at higher speeds. Then again it could just be the phone just has better reception.

[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
Anyway, I have been using Flashtool today, and I used that flashtool drivers installation wizard to install those drivers, but i checked all of them(i should have only checked flashmode and fastboot), so now I would like to uninstall those that I don't need. I tried to look in device manager, I even checked it with show hidden devices option, but I haven't found any of those(except sony so0104 adb interface driver, I'm not sure should I uninstall that one). Where can I find them and how can I remove them?
[Sony Xperia M] arnabJ:
Why do you want to remove them anyway?

And you need to install atleast one of them according to your phone model else your device won't get recognized.
[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
I won't remove xperia m drivers, I want to remove those for other devices...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
Twice now since updating to official .199 UK unbranded i've been hit by a bug where my phone won't recognise charger unless its turned off. It's fine for a couple of days then gets very random about whether it will charge when turned on. Usually this followed by the next day it won't charge at all. This time i've noticed my laptop won't recognise Xperia T internal storage either and ADB/USB debugging don't work either.

I've hard rebooted, booted in safe mode and factory reset from within the phone and it makes no difference. Sony no doubt would tell me charger or port is broken and use returns process but when turned off phone will always charge... It also has no problems with the laptop flashing it or fastboot mode from turned off so this is no hardware fault with my lead, ports or charger. I've reflashed kernel on its own with flashtool, also fully without wiping and fully with wiping NO DIFFERENCE.

So the only thing that will fix this is SUS repair function, every couple of days? Very stupid bug worse than the 100% charge with .295. You can no longer rely on the Xperia as a main phone in my opinion unless your prepared to carry a laptop and internet connection with you everywhere. What a disappointment.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
Further to this I have just repaired and even that hasn't done anything. Just used flashtool to revert back to ICS software and my charger is immediately recognised on first boot. I will now update using SUS again to .199 and I bet it will still work for a couple of days and then start to trip out again. Where the hell can this bug be lingering though if it can avoid factory resets and full SUS software repair?? What can downgrading reset that nothing else can... Very confused and disgruntled now. I suspect you could also revert to 4.1 with same effect but I just had ICS firmware handy so used that. I will test 4.1 next time
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
ICS only works. It gave me a update to 9.1.A.1.141 over the air so I did it and it broke my port again. I flashed 9.1.A.1.141 manually and its still broke - that was the software I was using before 4.3 and it worked fine. Is it seriously possible that these 4.3 updates have done something so bad to my phone that only the software it originally came with will work properly because thats how it appears to me now. I can't charge while turned on or have my laptop recognise the Xperia T internal storage unless using 7.0.A.1.303. Phone about to get thrown against a wall I think.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Maybe your battery power control is ruined.

Have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688272
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
Thanks for suggestion but i'm not so sure. I mean it charges fine turned off, it charges fine on 7.1.A.303. And another symptom is not being able to connect my PC to phone. Surely if it was just battery/power control it wouldn't charge from PC but would still connect and allow me to transfer files. I also don't have any of the random reboots the OP had. I'm so worried to send this in for repair. Last time they did a software update and sent it back with original problem. Then they fixed 2nd attempt but caused some cosmetic damage and it didn't last long. Then my operator replaced it as I said I lost trust in the repair centre. I only got this one Nov last year and already it's having problems... I'm either unluckyist T owner going or they have some serious issues.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Very unlucky... my T is one year old, I installed every kind of rom/upgrade/downgrade and still works flawlessly.

Could they have replaced your old phone with a regenerated unit?

Your USB port is ok, that's for sure.

Like any other electronic component, a fried power control could behave in many different ways.

Yours could have problem when it has to work with a firmware that manage the power in a certain way.

Even when you connect to your PC, the power control of the battery is called to manage the power coming from the computer: in fact the phone usually charges during any operation with the PC.

And this explains why the phone charges fine when turned off.

Now the question is: which is the power control ruined? The one of the battery or are there other power controls?

Let's make it clear: this is just my hypothesis ;)

If you don't trust in reparing service, why don't you try to repair by yourself?

You need a screwdriver (for only one screw) and a guitar plectrum to open up the back cover.

That's all, it's very easy... on internet there are some video guides... but remember that this way you loose your warranty!

Why don't you try to select the network manually, here we choose 2G or 3G network manually. Settings >> More settings >> Mobile networks >> Network operators - Search network. If 3G available in your area you may select one. Have you checked that, if your service provider has 3G or LTE in your area.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crslaytor:
yes i have checked, it does provide 3G in my area, i can select it , but then i got no service at all

hello all

i dont even know how to ask…

but this is the project i would like to start:

develop an that will be able to track another phone or gps device based on phone number or some sort of imei or sn

the both devices know about each other… its not something that will run without the knowledge of this devices.

is there a way to do this?

would i need a separate server witch will receive the gps info an pass on to the other device?

Sent from my SGS2 on SB4.4.2
[Java for Android App Development] danelab:
I think yes, you need some communication node here.

One device should send id(imei) and position to server, and second will request last position(or all previous positions) by id.

I don't know any other way that can help to archive your goal(direct connection between devices also possible, but you need server anyway )

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
I'm having trouble tracking down the source of a suspend_backoff wakelock. I was seeing it on houstonn's AOSP ROM, then recently switched to the supposedly official PA Beta ROM posted in houstonn's AOSPA thread. Getting the wakelock here too.

It doesn't matter if WiFi is on or off, I'm not sure where else to look.

Edit: I now see that, even with WiFi turned off, BBS reports that WiFi is running. Is this a radio issue?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Check your location settings and ensure google location via Wi-Fi is disabled. The wakelock may be an app hanging up. Reboot usually fixes that for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Thanks for the reply. Tried all that, and it didn't fix it. I didn't feel like systematically freezing all apps, so decided to try a new ROM instead. That seems to have taken care of the wakelock.

Your visual voice-mail isn't activating properly. That should only happen once during a reboot.

[T-Mobile LG G2] rebar71:
I don't think that means a whole lot. You link a thread from another forum for another phone. I don't know what ROM OP is running, but I would say that would be more significant than saying it's incompatible with KitKat. Because saying that is just untrue. Maybe it's just not compatible with AOSP based ROMs. And that wouldn't surprise me since its built for the stock ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
I'm only linking the op, since this gives the exact example that the op sees. Do you have a suggestion for the op, and perhaps a reason for his phone's behavior?
