[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmittelstaedt:
Holy cow what a lot of misinformation on batteries in this thread! For starters this chickenchoking thing - if it even works at all - is only going to work on a NEW or nearly new battery. It's been 4 years since this phone was released. You ARE NOT going to "resurrect" a 4 year old phone battery and make it work "like new" no matter how many buttons you press.

Batteries fall in a fairly predictable bell curve. 1-10% will die early - like within 6 months of manufacture - that's why we have warranties. 1-10% will last longer than your grandpa's rawhide rubber. But the rest of them fall in the middle. 4 years is decent life for a nicely treated battery. That means a battery that isn't in a phone that's left on the car dashboard in Arizona and heated up to 150 degrees every day. Or one that's operated in Antartica. The battery electronics in the battery works fine in these middle-of-the-curve batteries. Over time they lose capacity. The electronics in the battery cannot measure capacity loss. It can measure battery voltage and supplied current and voltage drop when the battery is supplying current and refer to it's table of these things to guess what the battery state of charge is. If the battery is mostly working the tables in the chip are accurate and this calibration nonsense does nothing. If the battery is worn out the chip cannot deal with that and reports garbage.

If you have a new or a 4 year old battery that acts crazy like displaying 100% of charge then 5 minutes later it's dead - then the battery is shot. Simple as that. Buy a new battery and replace it. And be aware that most new batteries are never going to last as long as the original did. That's because the manufacturers are buying these batteries in bulk and have the purchasing muscle to get the top-grade batteries from the battery makers. But when you buy a single battery you get the 2nd tier stuff that is probably going to be better than a worn out battery but it won't be the best. If you want a better battery then go to a chain like (in the US) Batteries Plus that buys these things from China in bulk and also has the purchasing muscle to get the top tier batteries - and all you have to do is hope that the battery you get from them wasn't sitting in their warehouse a year.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I agree that the top post is poorly worded. It seeks to correct battery

meter

problems, is what it should say. Its a semantic error I see often "calibrate the battery" which makes no sense. You are simply calibrating how the battery charge is metered and displayed. "Fix battery problems" and "calibrate the battery" makes it sounds like pressing buttons is going to somehow change the battery chemistry. Which is obviously false.

As for the OP's statement that the fix supposedly "coordinates and normalizes charging", I can't say whether it is true or not. As the battery charging is somewhat dependent on the metering, I suppose its possible to some extent. But it also sounds a little too good to be true.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmittelstaedt:
You are correct in that, I should have pointed that out. My experience in these things is that a bad battery will start handing out bad data to the phone, and when you replace the battery with a good one, you have good data from the new battery that gets averaged in with the bad data from the old battery and for a few charge cycles the phone will report strange states of charge even though the battery will last a decent amount of time - but after a few charge cycles things settle down and the phone will start reporting an accurate charge.

From a design standpoint the battery chip on the phone MUST have an adaptive feedback loop otherwise on even a good battery over multiple charge cycles the chip in the phone is going to get further and further off what the battery is actually doing. Unless something is really cocked up it's better to depend on that loop settling things down over time rather than to try to "reset" it.

I think the problem specifically with the m8 is that changing the battery is such a PIA that people get desperate to believe that there's some magic thing that will cure battery problems without opening the case. If this was a model with a battery door you could just pop the battery out and replace it, I doubt this thread would even exist.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiAmaze:
Thanks for the useful thread.

I am on HTC 10.

Wanna try your way to reset battery stats. But nowhere is there an option to turn off or on Fast Boot. What should I do? Can you kindly help me?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the "Fast Boot" option doesn't exist in power settings, you don't need to turn it off. So this step can be disregarded in cases where the option does not exist. HTC removed this option from the M8 fairly early on (since the move from KitKat to Lollipop) so it didn't even exist on the M8 for the most part. All this step does (turning of "Fast Boot" ) is to ensure the phone is truly powered off. Since button combos only work when powered off or full reboot. "Fast Boot" was not a true power off, but merely a deep sleep trick used to make the phone "boot up" faster. For you (HTC 10) powered off is powered off.

That being said, I don't know of the same button combo will reset the battery meter, as it does on the M8. You might want to research that, as the button combo may or may not be device specific (might not work on your device).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiAmaze:
Please do tell me what the combination is if ever you find it anywhere. Thanks again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 05tolik:
I'm rly sorry for my dumbness, but where is Fast boot setting? Looked for it in every catalogue of phone settings and didn't find.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
HTC removed the "Fast boot" option (not to be confused with adb/fastboot) after KitKat or somewhere thereabouts. Since you don't see it, you don't need to turn it off. All that setting did was put the phone in a deep sleep state (not really powered off) and therefore the described button combo would not work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawmyhead:
Hello guys, just stumbled upon this thread looking for my hTC 10's problem.

So my phone is almost 4 y.o and I can't afford another phone, will reseting the battery stats or the calibration method stop the phone from sudden shutdowns when the battery is below 40 percent?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuLEoF2:
Obviously, this is an old thread for a really old phone, but I'm bored and just feel like chiming in. Perhaps like me, others are still hanging onto their M8/M9 as long as possible and this post will help them out a bit.

I've been experiencing crappy battery life lately too. No doubt partially due to using a cheap portable charger which only compounded the problem. My M9 battery was draining faster, at least 10% per hour in standby and about 1% per minute with screen on using nothing but my SMS app. It was also shutting down at higher remaining percentages than ever. Most recently shutting down without warning at roughly 20%.

I tried the method recommended by the OP and I think it actually made it worse. Not having the ability to "turn off" fastboot mode may have something to do with it. Before that, it was shutting down at 10-15%. When it shutdown yesterday, the phone just went black. No bootdown screen or anything. With the phone off, I hooked up the factory charger and it said that it was at 22%. I unplugged it and tried to reboot. It wouldn't get past the splash screen. I then booted into recovery and it said that the battery was at 5%, clearly indicating a huge discrepancy.

So, I tried using the bootloader screen, with it's white background, to drain the battery as much as possible. It would shutdown and I would just reboot back into the bootloader. I did that until it wouldn't reboot anymore and I just got the "recharge" icon at 0%. When I hooked up the charger again, it showed 3%. I waited about 5 minutes and booted the phone normally. It now showed 7%. I let it fully charge, uninterrupted which took about 90 minutes. Unplugged around 3:00pm, put it in my pocket and an hour later it was still at 100%. Normally, it would be down to about 90%. I used it for about 5 minutes and it dropped only 1%.

It's a bit early to tell how much of a difference my technique has made but so far, I've seen a significant improvement in standby time. I'm going on 18 hours without a top-off and I'm at 70%. Of coarse, the real test is how the charge holds with normal use.

If anyone is interested, I'll report back with results after a few days. Otherwise, have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

LG G2 D802 (no brand) KK 4.4.2 - Kernel 3.4.0 - SW D80220b-EUR-XX

Hi guys,

Some time ago I read this thread, (very old and related to 4.2.2... I know!) promising to implement it as soon as I rooted G2. - I rooted today, but unfortunately in the path /persist (hidden directory) there is no trace of files is empty.

So the procedure is not applicable. I could however copy files rct and rct.cfg in the directory, but I want to avoid getting a device not bootable or not functioning. there is another alternative way to restore the file. tot, then the kdz? I have read that if you connect the G2 to LG PC Suite and it makes the update error correction root is removed from the phone. Is so ???

[General Accessories] darren.wlsn1:
the unit was shipped on time and comes with very nice box (nice gift for techi) and the unit even has a very nice soft cloth carrying case. also in the box is a nice/easy to read and understand owners manual and a usb charging cable. This power bank has a capacity of 8000mAh which took me 6 hours to charge to full and using it to fill my GS5 from 6% to full was very simple and i got 3 full charges with the unit still having power left over. the powerbank is slim and compact (14.5cm x 7cm x 1cm) and light for a unit of this capacity at 170g (6oz) and that was nice for carrying around or just on the go. unit has a single output ports 2.1A and charges most any device with usb cable given or you can use your devices cable.unit also has 4 small LEDs to indicate charge level (each led means 25% of the battery's capacity) that are easy to read in daylight and another factor i liked about this powerbank. i gave this unit a 5 star rating for many reason, the look and feel of the unit is very slim and compact and the ease of use was also very simple.build quality was very sturdy yet very low weight making it easy to even fit in your pocket if needed and best feature in my opinion was the price, under $30 for such a "must have" product is very low and i highly recommend this powerbank.

This is weird, and I've seen sporadic mentions of it all over the internet, but nothing definitive.

I was recently visiting VA and ran into issues with MMS--since I had some free time, I went back to stock and updated profile et al. Went back to AOSP (C-ROm specifically) and my MMS is still not working over 3G. Then, I took more extreme measures--added custom APNs that I could find, but nothing worked. Unless I am on LTE, it will not download MMS (txts et al work fine).

Is this a known issue with AOSP ROMs? Is there a simple APN fix? I'm on NAE w/ C-ROM 6.6, which is in itself using the Cyanogen kernel.

Thanks for your help!

[General Questions and Answers] SkiTECHsp:
My First Post on XDA!

Does anybody know of any cases that are designed to KEEP HEAT IN? Funny question I know, but let me explain....

I work as a Systems Admin at a ski area and we currently use "Motion Computing F5t" windows 7 tablets to validate passes and lift tickets in our lift lines. These are what are considered "Rugged" tablets, as they are shockproof and work in more extreme weather conditions. Being a specialty product, they are very expensive and really have not been all that impressive, as we have had quite a few hardware failures with these models.

I have been exploring using android based tablets as an alternative; nothing too powerful as they will only need to use Microsofts RDP app to remote to virtual machines running the necessary software (the validation software only runs on windows). The galaxy Tab 3 10.1 is looking like the device to use because of the cheap price, large screen, and available warranties for accidental handling damage. This brings me to my point:

Understandably, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 user manual says to avoid temps below freezing. I am sure that a sealed case (lifeproof, otterbox, etc) will keep the tablet a little bit warmer, but I am wondering how much. I contacted one company about their model of case (Griffin Survivor Extreme-Duty) and they informed me that their sealed cases were designed to dissipate heat, not keep it in, which of course makes sense in normal everyday applications, but I am wondering if anybody knows of any cases that would keep the tablet operational when the outside temperatures reach as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit? Or does anybody have experience with regular sealed cases and how they work in colder temperatures? Thank you all for your time and any input you can provide. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again XDA!

I Finally fixed the problem!

I had to give full permissions to the folder FactoryApp inside /efs/ in order for the 2nd method to work!

Thanks to everyone anyway and sorry for opening a new post! Hopefully it will help someone!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there. I have a problem with my Galaxy Note 2 (N7100).

First I was in Factory Mode, but after I flashed new 4.4.2 Stock Rom with Odin, I could get rid of it.

Then, I lost my IMEI, and I had the default 00049... one. So I could fix it by restoring my EFS backup (.tar.gz format) but now, after recovering my EFS and IMEI, I got into factory mode again (you know, when you start the phone and after booting up completely, get a window with yellow letters telling you about the phone, and a message in red letter saying "Phone in Factory Mode, some of the features might be disabled)

After reading uncountable forums, and trying this methods:

1.-Open the file “factorymode” in /efs/FactoryApp directory, it probably says OFF. Change it to ON then reboot your phone.

2.- using the command for adb shell - su - echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

3.- using terminal emulator -

su

echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr

echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1001:1001 /efs/imei/keystr

reboot

4.-su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

And after trying all this methods, still when I reboot, i am stuck in factry mode. There must be a way to get rid of it and go back to user mode, right? Is there someone that can help me?

I am rooted and currently on Dr. Ketan Stock 4.4.2 rom.

Thank you very much in advance!!!
