[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bANONYMOUS:
When I got the phone, it was "worked on" and the previous owner said the battery was replaced and the rear cover was broken during removal so a white one was supplied, I looked at the white one and the bluetooth/wifi antenna sticker is right beside the camera/flash but wifi works perfect, so I'm not sure if that's the issue. I flashed 4.4.4 last night and charged to 100%, it still seems to be draining fast, 5% in about 30 minutes so maybe the battery was replaced with a knock off? How do I tell if it's not official? Is there a larger capacity battery upgrade that'll fit in the stock housing/backing?

I spit out my coffee everywhere lmao! I guess it's not a huge deal if it's there, and if it's scaled out, the majority of the time is spent looking at the icon I don't like rather then the momentary one I would prefer not to have.

I just like my phone to "perfect"

Power Toggles didn't work, it does put a round icon with percent, but it will only display on the left side in notifications rather then on the right with the system icons.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'm going to try Bluetooth to see if it works on 4.4.4, if not then there's some hardware issue that had nothing to do with firmware so if that's the case then I'll rip it apart tonight and reflow the logicboard, check for any signs of water damage and toss it back together.

This device also has a lot of LED bleed on the bottom of the display but if I push on the bottom frame of the glass, it goes away, so I'm thinking the phone was completely rebuild with cheap or spare parts.. Which would explain why it was so cheap.

Either way, I'll report back in a few hours if bluetooth works or not, I'm kind of hoping it doesn't because then it'll really narrow it down to a hardware issue.

Thanks for the help so far.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bANONYMOUS:
Yeah, I can tell its a cheap phone, oh well, its still my personal favorite out of the other ones I've owned.

After more testing with 4.4.4, I got 10 hours of battery life with GPS and Bluetooth on, charged again, and then 12 hours of battery life with GPS and Bluetooth off.

So, its better, but I'm still went back to 5.0.1 this morning.

Bluetooth on the headunit lastnight did the exact same thing, tries to connect, waits a bit, says failed.

I did notice another weird issue with charging it this morning, phone was plugged from 3am when I went to bed till 8am when I got up for work and turned it on, that's a decent 5 hour charge and normally it only takes about a hour to charge. The battery icon displayed full with the lightning bolt meaning charged, turned the phone on, still plugged in, shows 70% and says charged, figured it needed a minute to recalibrate the battery so I restarted, still said 70% but it said it's charging now, left it while I made coffee, came back about 30 minutes later before heading out, still said 70% and says charging. I got to work and the battery was down to 9% so I figured it needs to recalibrate so I'll let it run dead till 0%, full charge to 100%, run down to 0%, and then after its charged to 100% again use the phone as normal, nope, it got to 0% before I got in the building, its "charged to 100%" so I turned it on, 68%..

Kinda thinking I'm going buy another battery, one I know is brand new (not what the previous owner said is new) and a new backcover to see if that fixes Bluetooth.

If you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery, you can flash one of these bootloader images that change how it looks. All this does is re-skin the bootloader. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2950482

As for the circle battery icon, AICP has that option along with a lot of other options. It may even fix your Bluetooth connectivity issues with your cars (can't confirm). In the screenshot you can see the battery icon.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I'm doing this as soon as I get home from work, and then root with no unlock icon, and then GravityBox LP for round battery!

As for the Bluetooth issue, I'm going to reflow the logic board, see how that goes, inspect the battery while I'm in there, maybe find an app that allows me to view battery cycle count.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bANONYMOUS:
Ripped the phone apart when I got home, reflowed the logic board, put it back together, tested Bluetooth, connected instantly, no hesitation.

So that's fixed, just gotta figure out a new battery, I found three replacements.

OEM LG 2300mah

X-Longer 2300mah

KBTEL 3830mah

Anyone use these or know which is best? I kinda want to try that KBTEL battery but I can't find any good info on it. I also can't find anything reiweing the LG vs X-Longer batteries either.

I just gotta figure out how to check the cycle count of this battery and if its old then I'll replace it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] procitysam:
Glad to see you got it fixed! As the circle battery icon, I find it easier to just flash a custom ROM because xposed is kinda buggy still and a ROM like AICP has a lot of really nice features that xposed can give and a lot it doesn't have.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bANONYMOUS:
I've noticed its buggy, it took me a few attempts just to Install, Gravitybox crashed and got the phone stuck in a bootloop, I just cleaned the cache and it started fine, haven't had any issues since it worked but the process of getting it working was something in its own.

I'll give AICP ROM a try when I get home from work, maybe it'll help with the battery issue.

I narrowed down the battery issue to WiFi. I charged to 100% yesterday, unplugged just before 1am, left everything off, battery was at 94% by 8am so it only had a 6% drain. Drove to work, had Bluetooth on and streaming google music, its all good, not a huge loss at all, actually going really well. I think I was around 85% around 11am when I realized I forgot WiFi off, turned it on, phone died just before 2pm,

So with everything off and idle, 6% battery loss over 7 hours, with wifi off it was a 9% battery loss over 3 hours, then I turned WiFi on and it was an 85% battery drain over 3 hours.

Now that that's solved, I dont think I need a new battery, I gotta find a fix for this insane WiFi battery drain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bANONYMOUS:
I flashed AICP 8.0 Release yesterday along with the latest GAPPS from Paranoid Android, I used the modular GAPPS because I prefer Gallery over the "Photos" alternative from Google. Anywho, I ran into a huge issue, Chrome won't search for anything without thinking I'm a robot if I'm on Data, if I switch to WiFi it works fine. The battery life I can't really say, but I think it has something disabled or modified with WiFi because from 10pm when it got to 100%, I had it unplugged and idle till about 2am checking it once an hour and it was 99% by 2am when I went to bed. By 8am it was 98%, so there was only a 2% battery loss over night and I left WiFi and Bluetooth on, but as soon as I started using the phone, it's not even 9am yet so it hasn't even had an hour use and it's down to 82% so again there's some huge WiFi drain, but at least with AICP there's no drain at idle so I can leave it on over night if absolutely necessary.

Only other issue with this ROM is every time I boot the phone, it tells me there are 6 updates but they're all Nightly updates, I was thinking of disabling the notification but then I won't be notified if there's an official release. I do like this ROM, but the chrome issue is huge for me and AICP doesn't have their own GAPPS to use so I went with the most reliable and well known PA GAPPS but I can't search for anything when I'm not around WiFi.

I'm going to flash back to stock 5.0.1 right meow mainly because of that Chrome + Data thing being a bigger issue then battery drain because I can at least use my phone over Data and save some battery when browsing and connect WiFi for streaming videos or downloading apps but with this bug not letting me use Chrome unless I have WiFi it's going to kill my phone battery in a few hours, so I'd rather have the battery loss over WiFi on stock then require WiFi and battery drain all day.

Thanks for the ROM suggestion, it's pretty good, I like the direction of it but it's not as stable as I would like, I'm going to test it on the Xperia Z though because I do really like it, I just need to use it on a secondary phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bANONYMOUS:
Chrome issue is fixed, I used ES File Manager to remove Chrome from the System App, rebooted to recovery, wiped cashe, rebooted, installed Chrome from PlayStore, everything works fine. So its a PA GAPPS issue, not AICP. Just felt like clarifing that.

Hi everybody.

Today I tried to update my TWRP to version 2.8.5.0 via Flashify (which worked good in the past). But today after rebooting the device I get the error "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify" and then the screen goes black. From here i cant do anything but holding down power to boot regularly without any problems. I tried to flash back to 2.8.4.0, but the same error occurs. Any ideas? Should I try Autorec?

I'm on CM12, btw...

Thanks...

Did you flashed the bumped one? If yes, you must use the KK bootloader. This error is because you probably use a JB bootloader.

Hi all,

Sorry for the noob question but I have tried most of the repair suggestions in this forum all still could not get back the IMEI, Baseband, and serial number of the handset. Is there a way to program the original IMEI and serial number back into my Galaxy S4 I9505?

The handset had Hong Kong firmware 4.4.2 but with null IMEI, null baseband and wierd serial number. The handset is not IMEI blocked in Australia which I am trying to get it to work.

Would Chimera or Z3x software do this? Kies could not detect the handset for firmware update.

Thanks.

You may have a defective modem, try installing new modem software and see if that works. good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildwind101:
Already tried that. Flashed with stock Hong Kong firmware, modem only, etc and did not fix it.

Is there a way to find out the which is the original firmware for the phone as the previous owner might have flashed it with the wrong firmware?

:crying::(:(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Go here and enter your IMEI. The result should pop up with a great deal of information about your device. Post the result, not including the IMEI itself, and we can figure this out for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If your IMEI just disappeared without you doing anything, then chances are you got a hardware failure and the your EMMC chip needs to be replaced.

Thank, I'm beginning to think this is the case.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildwind101:
Hi all,

I have re-flowed the MMC chip successfully. Is there a way to restore the IMEI and baseband without the nv-backup file?

Thanks :crying::crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Only if you used Wanam's EFS Backup tool to make a backup. It backs up not just the EFS partition, but the modem partitions and a few other hidden partitions as well. Otherwise you need to use methods we can't discuss on XDA to fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildwind101:
How do I find out the if the modem and IMEI info were still there and not completely erased or gone by the previous owner. I received it with null/null IMEI baseband fault.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You already replaced the modem as it was suggested by someone upthread. That would take care of the modem. There's no way to know whether the IMEI is present or not. It probably isn't present, in which case it needs to be rewritten.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildwind101:
I think the IMEI info is lost so I would need to rewritten as I don't an NV_backup copy :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The NV backup isn't present in the /efs folder on Android 4.4.2, at least from what I've witnessed on my own device. That's why I've switched to using Wanam's EFS Backup tool from Samsung Tool as it backs up the hidden modem and EFS partitions where the IMEI actually is stored.

If the IMEI is completely lost, you'll have to take the phone to Samsung for service. As mentioned upthread, there are other methods to fix this, but they can't be discussed here.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildwind101:
Thanks, in my case the modem and IMEI are already corrupted without an EFS backup so how can they be restored except for re-writting the IMEI ? I will look into Wanam's EFS Backup tool to see if I can salvage this mainboard.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Traysa:
Reflash your rom, that is the only thing I can think of.

I recommend NativeSD BTW, if your are already using NativeSD and getting this problem, it is definitely a bad sd card, so get a new one, preferably not a UHS card.

Also, could be bad NAND if you are using a nand rom, is so, use a NativeSD rom and NativeSD recovery, if you can get into MAGLDR, if you cannot get into magldr, reflash your HSPL and MAGLDR, you could get a problem where you have a bad micro usb port, if thats the case, you can get one cheaply prom alibaba(aliexpress) for about 2 Euros. hope this HILFS.

Hi

I'm running an unrooted HTC One (M8), recently upgraded to Android 5. At some point (Can't pinpoint, so not sure if it's related to the LP upgrade) Juice Defender began reverting to disabled after every attempt to manually enable it.

I run the balanced profile, so haven't done any tweaking. I have noticed a recurring log entry: "ROM is not compatible with AOSP helper (band switch control is unavailable). This sounds like it could be the culprit, but I don't have a clue what it means or how to fix it if that's the case.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamin13:
Background: I had my completely stock Nexus 5 on the charger for around an hour. When it got near 100%, it locked up for about 5 seconds and powered off. It wouldn't charge or power on again until 2 days later where it would power up but not charge. It could go to the bootloader/recovery but it would still shut down. The charger used won't charge anything anymore, it may have been a power surge that messed it up.

I replaced the battery and the system is still unable to maintain power but recovery and the bootloader are stable (just formatted the cache and the phone did not power off, took around 15 minutes). Now it won't power up again.

Any idea what the issue could be? Could it be corrupted data?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
First, try another cable and charger.

Also, make sure you have enough juice on the device first, reflash stock firmware with fastboot and see if the issue remains.

If you successfully flash your stock firmware and use another known working cable and charger and it's the same.... Then unfortunately it could be a hardware issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamin13:
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, that didn't bring my N5 back to life. I'm think a circuit may be fried on the motherboard but I don't have a real way of judging that at the moment.

Any chance you might be able to guess what the hardware issue could be? I'm mainly trying to save the data on my phone and I'm not against taking the phone apart to do that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamin13:
Update: I took the phone to a Sprint store and a technician looked at it. When the tech plugged it into the charger, the phone LED was flashing red with no charging screen. It eventually booted up and shut down. Later that day, I could see my notifications (Pushbullet is a wonderful app) and noticed the phone stayed on consistently. He said everything was fine and their formal report didn't mention any sort of damage to the phone that they could find. Later that same day, it died again. Today, I decided to completely wipe and load 5.1 to the phone. It stayed powered on through the whole flashing process (bootloader unlock and individual partition flashes) but shut off during "optimizing apps". Considering it powered off in the system, I'm thinking the issue is with the RAM or the CPU possibly being fried due to a power spike while on the charger. It seems like it only happens during heavy operations.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Something hardware it seems. Not sure what, but if a component on the mb is bad then it is a replacement.

I like the title though, doubt anyone has a device that stays charged while in system. Sorry about your phone, but made me chuckle. I really can't think of a better way to describe it, not trying to pick on you.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fingret:
When my regular moto G was at 4.4.4 I decided to "upgrade" my phone to 5.0.1 GPE. Then, for some reason, I did not want GPE 5.0.1 anymore, so I downgraded to stock 4.4.4 then installed cyanogenmod 5.0.2.

The result is the famous screen flickering - which can be solved by locking/unlocking the screen once.

Now I want to buy a new phone and sell my moto G. I'm wondering how I could get rid of the screen flickering. People will think that the moto G is somewhat damaged and will not buy. Will the screen flickering be gone if I downgrade to stock 4.4.4 again? Or do I have to wait for kernel fix?

Hi,

I was trying to flash STOCK ROM.

After flashing the stock rom, I found that I lost IMEI numbers and bluetooth address.

So, I went back to recovery to flash the rom again, Android Bot with red alert was coming.

So, I used SP tools to flash the ROM again but now with "Format option" including boot loader also.

After that, phone is stuck in Micromax logo and am not able to access anything including recovery.

:( :(

Pls help. </b>
[Micromax Canvas A1] GokulNC:
Use SP tools again to download (flash) complete stock ROM again. This time, use "Firmware Upgrade" option.

To fix IMEI issue, install Android CDC Gadget Drivers and use MAUI Meta 3G tool. Use this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-CokpIVGPBw
[Micromax Canvas A1] asantikari:
Hi GokulNC,

I tried flashing it but still its the same condition.

When I did a memory test from SP FLASH TOOL, it sayid NAND flash was not detected.
[Micromax Canvas A1] GokulNC:
So, if your phone is booting up, it means you can access boot loader menu. Press Volume up+power button and choose fastboot mode. Unlock the boot loader and flash any ROM or Nandroid backup from anyone. Otherwise format all the partitions from ADB and try reflashing the stock ROM using SP Tools
[Micromax Canvas A1] asantikari:
I dis flash it again after oem unlock. I fixed the IMEI also. Now stock recovery is not working so I installed CMW Recovey. When i checked the logs, it says cannot load volume/misc.

also I am not able to root using sideload.
[Micromax Canvas A1] GokulNC:
You cannot just say that stock recovery is not working.

To work with stock recovery, you need to hold power button and press volume up bottom top access the options. That's how it works. Moreover, you cannot do much with stock recovery. Its features are limited. In this case, custom recovery helps :)
