[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] heross:
Yes LED green at 90% is normal. My P6 drops to 99% after 1-2minutes screen on or after a boot without charger.

12% to 0% in seconds is definitely not normal. Normal it goes down very slowly to 3% then it comes a Info and after 30sec it power off.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Hi

Finished charging.

I've turned the phone on and it has been sitting at 100% for about 25 minutes at 4,348V with the screen on. (I even played a video with full brightess). After that it droped to 99% and 4,079V[/B]. That can't be normal.

I saw that the P6 battery is rated 4,35 volts, so i'm not too worried anymore abut that voltage and everyone else seems to have the same values, but this quick drop with 12% and the fact that it stays for so long at 100% does worries me.

The screenshots were taken 2 or 3 seconds apart. It doesn't give me a low battery warning at 15% like most phones, but at 8%
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
I'm still having this extremely annoying problem. The goddamn battery goes from 12-13% to 0% in a blink of an eye. I just plugged the charger at 8% and it show 0% right after and started charging from there. Voltages are strange too, it shows ~3,6 volts when it started dropping quickly. It has charged ~20% in less than ten minutes. Look at this behavior: sudden voltage drops, never went below 3,3V and dies at 3,6V (almost nominal voltage)

I've tried calibrating several with several methods a few times, I'd prefer to stop doing that since I know it stresses the battery.

Has anyone had this issue? Can someone please shed some light on WTH is wrong with this troublesome phone?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mcgyani:
Saw this post now. I have the same problem but it is from 9% to 0% . I don't think it is the battery, i think it is how android reads your battery info. I managed to calibrate mine by charging it when off from 0% to 100%-didn't last for long, the problem appeared once again.

It stays to much at 100% after charging, so we have the same battery life. Might be the kernel, don't know. I home when emui 3.0 is relased comes with a new kernel as well.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
I also managed to fix it once, I don't remember exactly what I did (I've tried so many things) but it didn't last long either, it discharged normally one time, but the next time dropped from 12% to 0% again in seconds. When will EMUI 3.0 be released?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mcgyani:
They said emui 3.0 will be released in the middle of november for p6 but they also said that it will be available for p7 since october -they kept their word and it is available but only for the chinese versions of p7. So i would expect emui 3.0 for p6 in december for the international version.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Ok, I think I managed to calibrate it, I'm not sure yet, I will update once the battery is drained so I can see how it behaves at low charge, but there are indications that it's working.

If you're experiencing the same problem as me, then you've probably noticed that after your phone drops quickly from 9% (in your case) to 0% and you plug the charger,

the battery will charge up to 9% also very quickly

. If this happens, then Android is not reading the battery info right and you'll get a 100% reading before it's actually fully charged, and will keep on charging past that point (which I believe is why it stays at 100% for such a long time). It'll obviously drain from 9% to 0% again once it's discharged - because it's not really at 9%, it's much lower.

So, if we can manage to get Android to display normal charging speeds at low charge, then the battery should be calibrated. This is what I've managed to do.

Here's how:

1. Get a Battery Monitoring App (I use Battery Monitor Widget) and set the update intervals to 1 minute

2. Let your battery drain and your phone turn irself off until you can't turn it on

3. Plug the charger and turn the phone on. Watch how the charge increases in this process, it'll most likely charge too quickly (See graph screenshot - blue arrow: a steep slope indicates quick, abnormal charging speed readings)

4. Wait 5 minutes or until it reaches 10-12%

5. Unplug the charger and let the battery drain again. Watch how it discharges, if it charged too quickly in step 3, it'll most likely discharge quickly too here (You can see in the graph screenshot that the discharging slope in this process is also very steep)

6. When it says it's going to turn itself off in 30 seconds, plug in the charger (don't let it turn off).

7. If the 'turning off' message appeared, say, at 2%, your phone will probably display 0% after you plug the charger (i know this makes no sense, but it happens like that)

8. Let it charge and watch how it's charging.

After doing this my battery charged at a normal rate (Graph screenshot - red arrow) and it behaved normally approaching full charge (current started decreasing approaching 100% - green arrow). It didn't stay for ages in 100% after unplugging the charger either, just 1 hour in deep sleep (2nd and 3rd screenshots), which I think is fine because I used to unplugg the charger at night and wake up to a 100% battery, so it seems Android is reading battery info correctly now.

I hope this works for you too, mate (And that it will last more than one charge cycle).

I'll update tonight with low charge behaviour, but I'm pretty sure it'll discharge normally.

EDIT: It didn't actually eliminate the problem, but it got a little better, it now drops from 7% to 4% (instead of 12-13%) and stays at 4 for a while.
[Samsung Gear Live] william58:
The home Time Screen doesn't stay on long enough... just a few seconds.

How can I get it to stay on longer, like say a minute?

Kind of pointless to not have it on long enough to look at it, especially when I'm trying to show the watch to someone.
[Samsung Gear Live] AstroDigital:
You can select like I do screen always on.

Really there is little development on this device so it pretty much is what it is.
[Samsung Gear Live] william58:
Screen always on is dimmed. I'm talking about when it is no dimmed, which is only for few seconds.

I want it on for at least one minute, before dimming.

OK, my daughter has an Ideapad S6000, completely stock. It was running low on charge one day, so she plugged it into my Moonstone external battery. It would not charge at all. She plugged in her power adapter, and it wouldn't charge on that either. Tried turning it off, and it would charge while off. But it will not charge at all when booted up. Anybody have a suggestion? Many thanks in advance.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] IgiK:
Check if USB port isn't damaged. Can you connect it to PC?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cmerlyn:
Haven't tried yet, since it charges normally when off I have been presuming that the port is OK.

Thanks for the quick response. XDA people are the best.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cmerlyn:
Ok, we connected it to my computer, my computer did not see the tablet. Tablet did not charge, no USB icon appeared in the upper left-hand corner. No indication that a connection was ever seen by the tablet or the computer.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] cmerlyn:
Re-flash?

Thinking about the issue, it seems the the operating system has lost the ability to recognize the USB port, but the system can see it when the tablet is turned off. That would perhaps indicate that the solution would be to either re-flash the stock ROM to regain the capability or to root and flash a different ROM (CWM, AOSP?).

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] adrian.aitken:
No alternative ROMs out there that I know of. And I don't know where you'd get a stock ROM unless someone here has one and can post it online.

Probably what you'll have to do anyway is open the case (carefully) and check the USB port is still soldered onto the motherboard. I've attached the official hardware maintenance manual for your pleasure - it's a PDF inside a zip to follow xda's file upload limits. :D

Many thanks

[Thinkpad Tablet General] cmerlyn:
I am pretty sure the USB port works, since it does charge when turned off. If the USB port were not soldered to the motherboard, it wouldn't charge at all.

Thanks for the information though, that is much appreciated.

Update through samba share corrupted the installation

After putting the tar file in the update folder through samba (double checking the file was not corrupt). I rebooted the MX. It started loading the Kernel and system files and checked the MD5. All okay. But during update it reported some strange numbers (cannot recall at the moment). And dropped to a command line. I think it was write the files but failed. It did mention something about failing some mount. I had to reboot in recovery mode and update that way. I was wondering if this is a known issue and how to prevent it in the future.

[BUG] 4.2.1 Enabling Wifi on Clean install

Hi

There seems to be an issue with v4.2.1 on a clean install from matricom's v1.1.6. If you enable wifi, the device crashes. If you upgrade from a previous version it's fine. Anyone else experience this or not? On that note, the new driver is working great. Fixes an issue I had with intermittent signal
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcla:
when choosing the new power off from the system menu, the device appears to shut down, however stays on the blue led. using the power button on the remote then makes it switch to the red led (=really off). this also means that if i only shut down through the menu, next time i want to use the device i would have to push the power button twice.

does the device really shut down through the menu (with low/no power consumption) or is it a kind of sleeping state?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesnake:
Unfortunately MX2 cannot be completely powered off programmatically. Powering the box off from the shutdown menu, puts it into sleep (suspend) state. But again, unfortunately you cannot wake it up from that state, you need to power off/power on it again.

Wifi Bug? 4.2.1

Hi Codesnake,

Firstly - Thanks! I cant believe how professional this is, even things I didn't think would ever work (usb audio, certain video formats etc) are now working perfectly.

I had a couple of issues with one of the boxes I was running it on, so I decided to factory reset and install 4.2.1 clean. I found I was unable to connect to my wireless network (invalid arguments). Everything worked fine on Beta 6.

So, I downgraded to Beta 6 and sure enough was able to connect. Then I upgraded to 4.2.1 and wireless continued to work.

Not a problem unless you install fresh, but thought you may like to know.

OpenElec on Amlogic S805

Hi Codesnake,

I'm interested on how it's going in getting the OpenElec firmware compatible with the S805. I have just bought an MXQ box which I haven't found to be particularly stable with the Android build with the addons I use. I use the same addons on an MX with OpenElec and they on-the-whole it works fine with the latest Gotham 13.2 / Openelec 4.2.1 release.

I would be happy to lend a hand in any beta testing if this can help you out at all. I have a dev/test/support background, so should be pretty competent in reporting back any issues that may arise.

Some issues with 4.2.1

Although it works great on my (clone) MX2. (It is this box from geekbuying), I ran into a few small issues.

I have the occasional total freezup (although not seen so often the last couple of days) which I did not see on previous versions. Now sometimes it has turned itself off (blue led), maybe this freezup has something to do with it, I do not know (power safe mode maybe?). But more important I cannot get the device to turn back on after it is in the blue led state (either by me powering it off and then powering on by remote or when it got there itself).

MX2 fails to update openelec 5.0.3 (4.2.1 ok)

Hi

I have MX2 clone box with g18ref board.

I'm currently using openelec 4.2.1 and it's great. I wanted to update to 5.0.3, first I tried the update procedure, but it failed, the system

halted in the middle of the process, with this error :

"Error in check_update : mount_common : Could not mount /flash/SYSTEM ****" (image attached)

I used SD card, formatted to FAT32, same one I used to install version 4.2.1

Rebooting the system after the update fail, it gets stuck during boot, "can't access tty : job control turned off"

So I reverted back to matricom FW 1.1.6, and the tried to install the fresh installation zip file - but it also failed with 'installation aborted'

after verify package stage.

On the same trial I selected version 4.2.1 from the SD card - and it installed correctly.

So what am I missing here ?

(and thanks a lot for the great work and support!)

Recovery help needed

I have a ENY EM8 square 2gb (It is a standalone XMBC ENY EM8 2GB running MX_Linux_k200_update.) I have tried to flash many ROMs onto my M8 , but everytime, inside of stock recovery I keep getting E: footer is wrong E: signature verification failed. Instead of trying to update a .zip I then tried extracting the .zip and the .zip had two files inside: recovery.img and Factory_update_param.aml. I now have those two files on the SD Card BUT in factory recovery where do I apply the update, especially since it is not an update, now? I had a red screen pop up once while entering stock recovery (holding reset A/V) but nothing else. So, when I apply the update from EXT the files are hidden now since this time it isn't in .zip format. If it is in .zip format I get the error message. Is my only option now the Amlogic Recovery Tool? Everytime I try to apply any update (OpenELEC, Linux, Android) I am getting the footer/signature verification error. I am now using MX_Linuxk200_update.zip, this is the only ROM I can get to apply without the footer/signature error, but I am having some strange problems and wanting to change to a different ROM. Any recommendations?
