[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] afogot:
I have researched a lot and found that as long as the input voltage is same i.e. 3.7~3.8 volts (which is the normal case nowadays), we can replace original battery with higher maH battery.

The only problem is the exact battery size.

Guys help me find a perfect size battery for Android one.

It may be of any model or manufacturer.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travillion:
I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that might be interested in building a "stock" ROM for the Nexus 5 that uses the BlueZ bluetooth stack instead of the default Bluedroid stack. It should be very simple, as the BlueZ for Android project has done most of the work, including building the kernel. It looks to be as simple as downloading the various source files and compiling. I was attempting to do it myself but I couldn't ever get Linux installed on my PC. Well, I got it installed but could never boot into it. I feel bad asking someone else to build it, but like I said, my PC setup seems to be Linux-averse and my understanding is that this is a simple build.

The impetus for this is that I recently upgraded my car stereo to a bluetooth-enabled unit but I can't transmit the track metadata. Even though the head unit supports AVRCP 1.3, and the Nexus 5 should also support AVRCP 1.3. I'm unlikely to get a firmware update from the stereo manufacturer. All my reading on the issue suggests that bad things happened for Android bluetooth when Google switched from the BlueZ to Bluedroid stack. I'm hoping that incorporating BlueZ in my phone might just increase compatibility between my phone and head unit.

The relevant links for making the build are here:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryuvann:
Hi everyone,

I've always used iPhone but we switched to the Galaxy S6 a few weeks ago as I wanted to try android. The phone is fine but man it gets SO slow to the point I can barely use it. I'll be just doing normal things on it, or it will be sitting unused for awhile and I'll press the app switcher button and nothing happens. Wait 3 seconds and then it appears. Pick an app same thing nothing happens, then it appears. Or you swipe and it's laggy and slow. A friend said use clean master which when I run it always says freed 600MB of memory and then the problem seems to go away for another hour or so, but I'm constantly having to do this. My iPhone's were never slow at all and you never had to close programs. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it's driving me crazy to the point I might return it.

The other issue is lots of times when I swipe to unlock, the phone unlocks but then will be running Spotify or Amazon, neither of which are on my homescreen or were running before. Clean master always says Amazon keeps restarting over and over giving my device a fever, but not sure what I can do about that.

Is there anything I should be doing or could do differently? I'm on the Samsung launcher, was on Google's for awhile but prefer Samsung's since it shows notification count, and I have the Google keyboard as well. It's not all the time, and it's not always debilitating like where it's full on frozen, it's more it just feels really slow. I had the Nexus 5 last year for maybe 2 months before switching back to iPhone but I never had this issue with it. I feel like the S6 is even slower than the Nexus 5 was to the point I'd almost rather use that phone, but I feel like this is ridiculous since I paid $250 for the Nexus 5 and the S6 was $750 so you'd expect it would run better!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Don't know what to tell you but to try a factory reset. I've had my phone for two months now and it's been blazing fast the whole time.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
My S6 is damn fast, real you should try factory reset.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro

Buy this app and disable all unused or unwanted things to free up memory. It should help you a lot.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryuvann:
Does it back up all my info when I do that or is it like starting over? Not a huge deal I guess but yeah maybe I'll try it. Like for example sometimes I'll press home to turn on the screen, but I'll I guess accidentally press it twice so it goes to the camera. That's fine, but then I'll press home again, or back, and like nothing happens it just stays on the camera, not frozen like the image is updating live, then a second or two later it will go back to the home screen. Or I'll swipe to unlock on the lock screen, it does the bubble effect and nothing happens. I wait a sec swipe again, does the bubble as well, except it unlocks before I fully finish swiping, as in it was in the process of unlocking and I was just doing it twice.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryuvann:
One quick thing also, do you guys use Clean Master? It seems like it's required as it clears lots of ram and then the phone immediately speeds up. Then I read somewhere that it's better to let the phone manage ram and not this app, but I feel like the phone doesn't do a good job of it, unless having the app installed is preventing the phone from doing it itself? Maybe I'll try without it when I reset it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninolina:
Well, that might be a key to solving your problem. Before Reset try first just to uninstall that "garbage" of app. It may solve your problem right away. I had some friends that also have that app installed and also problem with slow phone. Just uninstall of Clean Master solve that.

Let us know what happened. :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Well that's the trade off between android and iPhone at the moment probably. iPhone may require less tweaking and trail and testing and how a phone can work.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro

Clean Master is real good to clean junk files or temp files but for the memory part, plz buy the Package Disabler Pro as this is the only one real works now on S6.

I believe Samsung got PC software to backup your data on Windows.

If you do factory reset and no use then it's safe to guess your phone got hardware problem and you should ask for a replacement.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sol_671:
Question though, where did you buy the phone? Are you 100% sure its an authentic galaxy s6? I came across a similar thing but its with the iPhone, a friend of mine was complaining about having drop calls with his iphone 6, I decided to play around with his iPhone 6 and was wondering why it was hella slow and lags a lot, I use iOS a lot(iPad, iPod Touch, and previous iPhones) and i know it should't lag especially a new version of the iphone, and also noticed somethings are off like the apple logo, screen resoluton, etc. After 2 min, I realized its a fake iPhone6 than runs an iOS skinned android, I was actually amazed how well it was made for a clone. If factory reset didn't help, then it's probably hardware defective or its fake.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Depending how long you've had it can you take it into the shop you got it from, show them the problems and get a replacement?

Mine is pretty much super quick, although I do use Nova Launcher Prime as my launcher, and Tesla Unread to show unread notifications for apps, and it is much quicker than the Samsung Launcher and a lot more customisable.

Also I have noticed some themes can slow the phone down immensely so unless you really want to customise the phone leave it on the default theme. (Nova Launcher Icons and different wallpapers don't slow anything down).

Also the Smart Manager on the phone, helps to keep the recent apps menu working nice and quick as it can slow down to the point that pressing it takes .5 of a second for the recent apps to show up.

Lastly, the S6 is notorious for faulty home buttons, so weird home button behaviour could be a slightly faulty button.

Thanks everyone, it should be authentic I bought it from Rogers directly, not a dealer store but actual corporate one and we bought 2 at the same time. I did a factory reset last night and it's WAY faster now. I didn't put Clean Master on it yet just been using it as is but been great so far. I didn't put all my apps back on, just the ones I use, where as last time I'd just put on everything even if I seldom use it, so will try to add them slowly. CM was always saying before that Amazon was giving my phone a fever, restarting 50 times in the past 15 minutes type thing, even though I use that app constantly. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgfjd:
There is something wrong with your software. I have been using my phone for about a month. No issues here.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] openmatrix:
Yep there is something wrong with your device. I always try to do speed test whenever I gets a chance to have my friend's i6 on my hand. With 250+ apps and 3gigs out of 32 free I can say that s6 opens apps a second faster than i6. There's some scroll lag on chrome but I fixed it with tweaking flags on chrome.If any app lags on this on this device then it's the result of poor coding.

How is the phone so far?
[General Questions and Answers] Jon-G:
I have a galaxy S4 (GT-I9505G) running CM 11.0.

About once a week, whatsapp stops receiving messages. The next time I open the app, it complains:

If you "skip restore", you start with a new db. If you "restore", it probably restores from the whatsapp backups in /sdcard/Whatsapp/... (I actually never tried that because I have titanium which is just faster and more reliable)

Searching some of the strings in this message online (i.e "something went wrong with your chat history") yielded *nothing*.

This has been happening *way* too often lately, so it's really annoying. My current solution is 4 scheduled titanium backups a day, which is just an ugly patch - I want to solve this.

Did anyone encounter this? Any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] AiAS61:
Do you have random reboots? Or did your battery die while you are using whatsapp? As far as I know, that's the way whatsapp db gets corrupted.
[General Questions and Answers] Tyaginator:
Yup u r right
[General Questions and Answers] Jon-G:
I've had some (due to the stupid power button getting stuck...)

But still, *far* more corrupted DBs than random reboots.

Besides that, the only "abnormal" habit I can think of is moving in and out of airplane mode a few times a day (to save battery)

Do you think it might be of a problem? Anyway some of the corruptions happen *really* at random times, not directly after airplane mode switching, so I don't think that's the sole reason (if it's the reason at all)

What?
[General Questions and Answers] Tyaginator:
I was saying he is right, whatsapp db gets corrupted when there is an abnormal power off, and airplane mode has nothing to do with it. Please check if have any task killer installed like battery saver or clean master coz whatsapp does not support any task killers.
[General Questions and Answers] Jon-G:
No, I have no task killers, battery savers, etc. None. Nothing stops WhatsApp, it just crashes.

I will investigate it further and post here if I find anything as a future reference for others.
[General Questions and Answers] Lausie007:
I also have this problem, at least for more than a year now.

I have a Fairphone (first edition) with Android version 4.2.2.

I have a corrupted Whatsapp messages database at least one time every week.

I used a task killer in the past but I am not using it any more for at least a few months.

I must admit that my phone does sometimes crash unexpectedly, but this does not necessarily correlates with the db corruption. Most of the time its like I'm using Whatsapp and everything is fine and when I check again for example, an hour later, it says that the message db is corrupted...

Also I factory reset my phone a few weeks ago and after setting everything up the phenomena still existed.

I also used an other Phone (Samsung Galaxy Core 2 with Android 4.4) for a full week and I didn't experience this database corruption with Whatsapp.

So I wondered if you have found a solution by now? or maybe what can be a possible reason (or reasons) for this corruption?
[General Questions and Answers] ali262883:
I think I found a solution, chat gets corrupted only after u restart ur phone, just force stop WhatsApp then reboot your phone.. Hope this fixes ur problem too
[General Questions and Answers] mansii:
"something gone wrong with your chat history"

go to "whatsapp" installation folder (in phone or card)

open Folder "whatsapp"

open Folder " Database"

In this folder named (Database) , except file name " msgstore.db.crypt" and 2nd last back file, Delete all.

For example, if you have in your phone like below.

1-msgstore.db.crypt

2-msgstore-16-12-2016.db.crypt

3-msgstore-17-12-2016.db.crypt

4-msgstore-18-12-2016.db.crypt

5-msgstore-19-12-2016.db.crypt

except 1st and "4th. delete all.

problem solved, also you will find more space in your "SD CARD" or "Phone memory"
[General Questions and Answers] ManSamVampire:
Problem not yet solved

No, it doesn't work. I already had a habit of deleting older databases from that folder. But still I got this issue. Whenever, I click the 'search' and type something, WhatsApp closes immediately and when I open it, it asks me to restore last backup.

You see the problem that WhatsApp encounters is not in the backup database(s) in the SD card. The problem is in WhatsApp private-folder database. To be precise, the problem is in this file exactly:-

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db

However, to access this file, you need root access. And if someone is smart enough and has ample amount of time, he/she can also find the error in the database manually in the different sections. All you need is an SQL database editor to view the file. I guess the problem should be in 'messages_fts' and/or 'messages_fts_content' tables in the database.
[General Questions and Answers] Oki:
Well, same issue here. I have 4 backups, but all of them seem to be corrupted since Whatsapp crashes after restoring the database. It is curious, if I disable wifi and data the restore process ends properly. But Whatsapp crashes no matter what after a few minutes.

Is there any way to fix the *.db.crypt12 database? That would fix the problem.
[General Questions and Answers] gubbe:
I have no crashes, but on my rooted S6 the DB gets corrupted quite frequently. At this stage I don't really see any other way out than to start over - completely. Any tips?
[General Questions and Answers] ManSamVampire:
Actually, you can fix the DB crypt12 database manually, but to find the error and fix it will be a time taking task.
[General Questions and Answers] Oki:
The DB file is fine. I already decrypted it and checked with SQLite. The problem must be in the data, and only WhatsApp can identify the issue. They already have the file but I do not expect any answer. WhatsApp has failed to me. A $19,000,000,000 company unable to fix the problems they create.

I've never seen a message that indicates that the db file is corrupted but I don't know how to solve this
[General Questions and Answers] Oki:
They answered but only for letting me know there is no solution but delete the DB and start a new one. I did a backup of the DB file and started a new DB.
[General Questions and Answers] joestyle:
But by starting a new db from scratch how can you put the backup messages there?
[General Questions and Answers] Oki:
There is no way.
[General Questions and Answers] saeedravat17:
Hi mate. I had the same issue. Not sure if the WhatsApp database was corrupted or not . I still had WhatsApp installed on my old phone. I deleted all manual backups and Google drive back up. Allowed for a fresh manual back up and a fresh Google drive back up WITHOUT media (you might find a lot of corrupt images in your WhatsApp image folder btw like I did. Delete them). Then copied over the new manual backup onto the new phone. Then did a restore from Google drive which stopped at 31% and said if I wanted to restore from local backup. For "preparing WhatsApp messages" it reached 100% then said "restoring messages". I left the phone like this overnight. I have 400,000 messages and my file is 120mb. Woke up in the morning and still said "restoring messages" with no status of how much was restored or restoring. Endless loop. Did a restart of the phone and went back onto WhatsApp and all my messages were there! Though not sure if the data is still corrupt as when I scroll all the way to the top of a chat it shows my messages from April 2013 but when I do a "search" in the chat and then remove the word from the search and scroll back up it'll only go up to like September 2013. I have to click "back" and go back onto the chat to see messages right from April 2013 - Strange! Not sure it it's data corrupted or a glitch that needs fixing.
[General Questions and Answers] ManSamVampire:
It seems the restoration process was incomplete. In the actual database file where messages are stored,

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db

there is a table messages_fts_content, which, according to my observation, is responsible for maintaining a search index.

You say that the search results only in newer messages appear and the older ones are not visible, which means that the messages_fts_content table was not restored completely.

P.S. I don't know if the WhatsApp backup dbcrypt files have the messages_fts_content table or not. It is also possible that the dbcrypt files have only the messages and WhatsApp generates the messages_fts_content table automatically after restoring the messages.

If someone has been able to open the dbcrypt backup files, please post a list of tables in that database.

I have been facing this issue alot lately. Whatsapp randomly throws an error saying "Something went wrong with your chat history". When i restore, it goes into an endless loop.

Same issue, no solution!

Hi all,

I have been facing this issue since I bought my latest phone "Huawei Mate 10" about 6 months ago. The thing is, apart from this issue, the phone is flaw-free! Everything is working seamlessly, no glitches or hiccups to mention in the phone. ONLY this "An error has occurred, please restore your messages... etc" thing - and it's really disturbing!

The only temporary solution I have is that my phone now auto backs up my WhatsApp history every day, which is not ideal AND still, I lose the messages that are from that day after the backup...

ANY SOLUTION?!
[General Questions and Answers] theenlightened1:
Same problem.. Whatsapp randomly crashes.. even when phone is running fine and I'm doing something else.. I would take my phone out to reply to a message someone I was having a conversation with a few seconds ago and get the message about restoring chat history..
[General Questions and Answers] tarekahf:
I have the same problem which is very close to the details in this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78077489&postcount=24

Also, I reported this problem to Huawei Canada here:

https://twitter.com/TarekAHF/status/1135088840887214080?s=09

I have Huawei P10 and the problem started in Dec 2018, as I noticed that after every backup, WhatsApp reports error when it starts. It looked as if the backup wasn't successful. When I open whatsapp it will ask me to restore from Backup because there is something wrong with the chat history. Then the restore is successful. However, I realized now that this meant that the backup DB was corrupted. After Huawei Android OS Update on May 26, 2019, WhatsApp couldn't restore the chat history, and I ended up with chat history without any chat details. Then I tried to restore and it didn't work. Now, I lost all chat history. I tried to restore from all the backup files I have, none of them worked.

If anyone has any idea how to recover this, then please let me know.

Lessons Learned: If you get error after WhatsApp backup or backup doesn't complete successfully, this means that the backup is corrupted. In this case, take manual backup of the WhatsApp folder and another backup using external professional program, and remove/delete WhatsApp and reinstall from scratch, and try to recover using the older backups you have or using the external program backup/restore.

Then, ensure to run another backup from WhatsApp and ensure that the backup that it is successful, and that you can open WhatsApp without any issue.

[General Questions and Answers] Albert83BCN:
Probably too late to the party but for whom might encounter issues restoring the backups in the future, I had the same issues and finally succeed to restore all the chats. I'm suspecting this is not so much of a database corruption in reality (man I did lots of fresh backups to try the process) but rather a sluggish process that times out or really susceptible to aborting. I left in this thread the steps I followed the last time I did the restore and got all the chats back, just in case it can help someone.
