Battery is perfect, everyone saying something different: please post screenshots, usage behaviour (surfing, 3d games?) and betterbatterystats for wakeloks etc...

I would say that crappy battery life is mostly (98 percent) due to creepy/greedy software. Root your phones, get something like greenify and a permission manager for apps (disable internet for apps when not needed, ...). Cloned nearly my old lg g2 (apps, app rights, same usage), there I got 5-7 g SOT with its 3000 mAh, so 9-10 for my thl 5000 is quite accurate

I don't recommend discharge to 1% in first cycles as this is a lithium ion battery with partly silicon anode material, which is even MORE sensitive than normally used "only" carbon/graphite intercalation anode material because volume changes are bigger while charging/discharging...

Ps: Working @ some battery lab.

Gps can be fixed a bit with apps. (Use gps/ntp fixer) AND better antenna, a wire without soldering is enough to double nearly gps reception for most users who did this... found this on a German forum, android-hilfe.de. Didn't have time for running myself, will do it and report.
[Device Reviews and Information] stingrey123:
OK then count me to these 2% who have different problem then battery hungry apps... Although these stats may look a bit crazy as I have downloaded these 2 games today and played them a while which also resulted in higher data and battery usage it is just today... Normally there would be almost zero traffic and battery usage smaller according to usage of these two games... There are no constantly running app in the background and only one updating app is Facebook and then viber which I used atm. And do ur magic and tell me where is my lost screen on time when u can see that max what I got was 6 and half hour! My standard percentage division consists of approximately 60% signal 30% display and the rest apps!

Sorry forgot to add these images... Here they are
[Device Reviews and Information] Grimmy1st:
Don't know this app... where is display consumption in 2nd-4th picture? What is jadro (dict won't help me)? without display listing determining of relative consumption not visible... next time just take a screenshot of android accu management, seems more appropriate to me, no offense!

Seems your apps are one culprit here, but your gaming in general too.

First, you are gaming, so SOT will be drastically decreased, because of using graphical und cpu heavily (SimCity seems very high).

This is a mediatek chipset with relatively high nm architecture (28 nm) and

OC (t=turbo version of chipset) and

no big.little technology, which can more easily scale (part of) the cpu and not like 8 cores @ 2 Ghz.

Well known for a mediatek device.

2nd if you realized for yourself there's a data leak, restrict apps! Root your phone, remove permissions and greenify apps (u don't see open/background apps that easily).

3rd Facebook is a known culprit for bad behavior, keeping phone awake. Search for Facebook browser mobile on xda and try it. I don't miss anything...

Try just surf behaviour AFTER realized tips (restrictions, greenify automation), sot should be drastically higher. If not, there's something really going wrong.

How this helps, shouldn't offend tout in any way!
[Device Reviews and Information] stingrey123:
U have missed the last image which is most important and fact that the last value showing 6:46 (6:28) - max time I could get before shutdown and max that I really got before charging it with some % left and this value is since 2.1.15

Edit: as I said high download was caused by downloading these games but I did that with screen on + I played those games emediatelly after... I would like to show u the standard usage but still even for gaming this is too short time when in benchmark (antutu I think) it could hold even six and half hour and that is my maximum...
[Device Reviews and Information] Grimmy1st:
Edited some of my last post btw...

I Didn't miss that point. Power consumption in relation not visible (only sot, but not % display).

6-7 h sot with some (?) Gaming seems to be okay (depends strongly on how much gaming and game itself).

Antatu as benchmark for sot? Tell me if there's a benchmark for both using cpu and gpu (3D) together, not independent. I can't remember there is one, but don't know for sure. You can track usage of cpu & gpu as overlay with something like cool tool and check your cpu/usage while gaming/benchmarking. If all maxed frequencies, battery drain will be extreme with our little friend ;)

Hope something helps you/someone else a bit (gps(ntp file/epo file/ antenna mid)/app restrictions and greenifying). But can't help with gaming. Maybe I will try heavy gaming sometime to check drain.

Good luck anyway! :)

Maybe I will post screenshots after this circle, atm 1:15 sot with 12% battery consumption, pure tapatalk and surfing.
[Device Reviews and Information] stingrey123:
I have read it in a review that they tested the device and it lasted six and half hour in a burn in test not sure if it used both CPU and GPU.. I have managed to kill the phone to its shutdown level in 5 hours and 17 minutes when gaming

thl 5000

Hey all,

2 days ago, i got my New phone. A thl 5000. Since then i tried to Connect my gear 2 neo to it.

It wont work. I tried with to pair with the gearmanager. It load and load but wont connect.

The thl 5000 has Android 4.4.2 and Bluetooth 4.0. Why do it not work.

Before the thl 5000, i had the HTC one x.

The gear 2 worked great with it. ( i used a Rom to get Android 4.4)

Sorry for my Bad englisch. Im From germany.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] stingrey123:
Edit.: deleted what I have written this battery stats counting app is useless but according to better battery stats ať least screen on time is correct.... I have played just 9 mins the SimCity other then that just Firefox and viber/messenger chatting and I couldn't get more then 6:37 (with some percents left)

Thank you for that tip.

I googled and found it: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thl-5000-forum/611449-thl-5000-gps-5.html

I used a wire of an old Ethernet cable. GPS is a lot better.
[Device Reviews and Information] enzo-ita:
Would you mind to post some pictures of the mod for the gps?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] wooley4766:
if you have a mobile device with a MT6577/MT6589(T)/MT6592 chipset, you probably noticed the GPS functionality is pretty bad. Most notably, it can be quite difficult to get a 'fix'. This can be resolved by saving recent EPO files, which are used for Assisted GPS. These EPO files can be downloaded manually (which takes some time), or you could just use MT GPS!

This application retrieves the latest EPO files and saves them to the right location. The files should be updated daily to make sure you can always get a GPS fix quickly. The usage is pretty straightforward, but here is a set of instructions:

- Make sure your phone is rooted

- Run MT GPS

- Download the EPO files

- Go to Location in Settings and enable everything

- Turn on your Wi-Fi

- Reboot

- Start the app requiring GPS!

This should be sufficient to get GPS working on most of the devices with a MT chipset. However, if it still is not working after following the steps above, try this:

- Update EPO files as stated above and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on

- Go to Location in Settings and enable everything

- Download MobileUncle from the store

- Run MobileUncle

- Choose 'Engineer Mode'

- Choose 'Engineer Mode (MTK)'

- Go to the tab 'Location', and choose 'YGPS'

- Go to the tab 'Information', and choose 'hot', then 'full', then 'AGPS RESTART'

- Start the app requiring GPS!

If it still is not working, chances are you have a mobile phone with a faulty GPS chip. Some phones have poor antennae, which means you can't fix the GPS issues with an application. This application has been tested on a variety of phones with various MT chipsets, but we can't test all the phones available on the market. Thank you for your understanding. Download

You can get MT GPS EPO Fix for free from the Play Store by clicking here. The app provides all the instructions as well.

please help!

this is my last chance in getting help in my problem..

i'll keep it brief.. i lost the otg capability of my thl 5000.. :(

also when i connect it to the pc using a cable, i have to either turn on or off usb debugging mode for the pc recognize my mass storage.. but the otg is the most important thing for me.

i believe it has something to do with the kernel that supports otg or something like that..

i have been trying to fix my thl 5000 for a week now.. please help me.. thanks.. :fingers-crossed:
[Device Reviews and Information] Baumhouse:
Here you are.
[Device Reviews and Information] enzo-ita:
Thanks.

Sorry to bother you, but are the pictures from a THL 5000?

Mine is totally different.

The place were you have conntected the wire, correspond to the wifi antenna on my thl 5000.

I also notice that the wire is twisted. Why? Is this something required?

Ciao ciao

enzo
[Device Reviews and Information] Baumhouse:
It is actually the THL 5000 and facing the display to the table. So you are looking at the opened backside. When you open the cover you will notice that the antennas are labeled. After replacing the GPS antenna you need to cover the contact from the original one with some scotch tape.

The wire is twisted because that's how I fixed it to the spring clip.

Usb otg issue

Unfortunately i no longer use this device that's why i haven't posted in a while.

My brothers USB port and charger got damaged while he was using a generator to charge the phone.

He took the phone to a repair shop here and they changed the port. Everything seems to work fine

and the phone now charges when the charger is connected but the only problem now is that the

uSB OTG no longer works and He can no longer use his phone as powerbank to charge other devices.

Anyways i have looked into the matter and discovered that his phone is missing the android.hardware.usbhost.xml

file. Can anyone help with the file or a link? It's located in system/etc/permissions.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Try to change the USB mode, it can be mass storage mode, MTP or something like that.

I have, I'm using classic ROM v2.
[Device Reviews and Information] enzo-ita:
Hi.

I did it and the result is outstanding , fix indoor i 40 seconds but, as soon as the back cover is placed in place, the satellites signal disappears.

Also simply bending the wire toward the battery instead of having it free to move and stay may be at 90° with the phone body, makes the signal disappear.

I am probably doing someting wrong, but in thia way the mod is of not use.

Do you have any further suggestion?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I had to tape the NFC antenna, too.
[Device Reviews and Information] xaracz:
I wonder as I'm not using NFC, to connect GPS antenna to pins from Nfc and back cover will works as GPS antenna?
[Device Reviews and Information] dfs_:
The antenna has to be as thin as possible(copper) and either lambda/2 or lambda /4 long with lambda = 19.03 cm
[Device Reviews and Information] enzo-ita:
I do not think this can solve teh problem.

The NFC antenna is in the back cover but, even if I do not place the cover, and I place the wire close to the battery, the signal disappears.

ciao
[Device Reviews and Information] Baumhouse:
I had the same issue,but after taping the contacts the GPS worked still pretty good when placing the cover back. Try it out.
[Device Reviews and Information] enzo-ita:
Hummm, I do not think that at the end the signal will be much different from the original antenna.

If just bendind the copper wire to the battery reduces the signal to about zero...

I just wet the original antenna contact with CRC 6-66 and the satellites signal improved with the original antenna to the point were, even if not enough to get a fix, I got three satellite red bars indoor, while before I had nothing.

This is quite logical because the original antenna contact is not gold made but zinc or something else pleated and this may create oxidation which would corrupt the satellite signal introducing noise.

Let stay in contact and keep studying about this.

Anybody here using Dimid's ROM, I love the stock launcher that comes with that ROM, very smooth, fast, but how do you delete icons and widgets? There doesn't seem to be any function for that.

EDIT: Never mind, I found it, it just wasn't visible.
[Device Reviews and Information] Grimmy1st:
Finally did the antenna wire mod. With v3 classic Rom and ntp fix BEFORE new antenna Gps signal around 190-220 on my balcony (with balcony above), WITH additional antenna around 270-300 / 1-3 additional fixed satellites (measured With gps checker), outdoor 290-3xx. That's not perfect (for exact tracking), but okay for navigation.

Although I know the "lambda laws" a longer wire, diameter 0.3 mm, was better. reaches straight till bottom of phone.

Taping the wire not onto battery, but next to it improved around 20-30 points.

So everyone with bad gps: get ntp fix, some say get epo files (I don't, cause crashed my phone once), and contact a copper wire to the gps antenna contact. Be aware of removing "invisible" plastic mantle of ordinary copper wires!

Works

1. wifi

2. touch screen

3. storage

4. BT? Not tested

Not works or buggy

1. MIUI Camera

2. FM radio

3. SystemUI FC.

But this is my first port. Porting is possible.

Recompiled Kernel and Ramdisk

Changed updater script (removed recovery script and writing logo )

Changed build.prop for THL 5000.

For now is MIUI V6 for Xiaomi Note 3G under testing. Next step waiting for Stable ROM with langague translations

I got 34782 on mine after I was finished cleaning out the bloat and optimizing it.

I'm just running NEXT Launcher in front of KK.

Thats the beauty of this phone, pretty much pure KK and no bloated UI.

Just the way I like it, and of course my favourite launcher.

Maybe someday I'll try Themer,,,,

BTW, whats up with this?
[Device Reviews and Information] Sonic1SVK:

I got the camera apk and it wont install to the THL, does someone else want to try and see if there is a fix, maybe in the permissions or something...

The 1st error I get when trying to change the permissions is:

Changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes.

hi guys,

today i plugged my phone onto the charger and somehow the touchscreen was laggy or not responsive. I thought it was wet or something and didn't care, now later the day it occurred again and i was like WTF - and sensed a small enhancement on the back of the phone. When i took off the silicon cover and the backplate i saw the battery beeing blown a bit near the power on button :(

Now when i attach a charger the touch acts weird like a jumping mouse on a PC and when disconnecting everything is back to normal. I immediately ordered a replacement battery at banggood and hope it arrives soon. Has anyone else experienced a blown up battery yet?
