htc recalled all units to replace the mechanical hard drives with flash memory BEFORE they shipped (thats why it was delayed).

unless you got hold of one before they shipped and didnt have it recalled yours will be a flash memory drive.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] c0mput0r:
Is there a part number for this "flash memory micro drive" ? I think i have one that has a hdd in it that spins because i can hear it if i access something on the microdrive and have the phone up to my ear. I wouldn't mind buying a replacement flash drive in case the current one breaks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
no, all microdrives have platters, however, the replacement drives are intended to be more power efficient.

http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/menuitem.7ac4c50322419b5daa67bca4bac4f0a0/

that's the drive, it also has a sensor to tell when you're dropping the device to brace itself for impact.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] leoni1980:
Why didn't they just use flash memory?

No need for a "sensor to tell when you're dropping the device to brace itself for impact"

It also apparently doesn't **** up as readily as anything with moveable parts does.

Maybe they should have screwed the Microdrive altogether and supplied us with an 8gb MINI SDHC card.

All hypothetical anyway.

I've had my Ameo next to my Firelite 80gb on many occasions as it didn't cross my mind until I read this forum. It hasn't broke yet, though I suspect 2.5" HDDs are made to be a little more resilent.

I'll be keeping them a safe distance apart from now on!

I have ordered this phone plus case from Amazon. As a Belgian, the total cost of the phone, tax and duty included, is almost the cost of a S6 Edge. But I like the being a bit more original so I have chosen this phone. The specs are nice and so are most reviews. Really looking forward and I hope having it by the end of the week.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androsesp:
Hi everybody,

I want to know if we can overclock our Snapdragon 808 to 2GHz (ARM A72 cores) with a modified kernel.

Also, If somebody is going to work on this challenge.

Thanks!!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
A57 cluster, probably yes. I'm also working on a kernel, but I intensely dislike Overclocking because it isn't all that useful. The key to performance is with optimisation, not with raw power. So I'm most likely not going to include it, sorry.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knowbody42:
What about underclocking and/or undervolting?

I think performance is good enough as it is, but would like to get better battery life.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
I would like to be able to undervolt in order to relieve the bugging high temp warning. This phone rarely uses max performance. So, overclocking is not really a priority. Maybe a custom hotplug.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambervals6:
Crappy cpu. No point messing with it.

Sent from my A0001
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Hotplugging has been dropped not long ago. You'd basically need to reinvent it. Plus it costs more power than it would save
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oile:
And what about undervolting to prevent excessive heat, [MENTION=6398395]mythos234[/MENTION]?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
yea i guess undervolting is the only benefit here coz 2 ghz wont be hard to achieve but getting that overheating msg sooner aint worth it...

next thing u know is accessory back plates with mini fans to keep the phone cool...

seriously tho what good is the extra power for ? the phone is already fast with the correct setup (not that i saw any lag when it was stock)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NEtik:
anyone knows how to see the cpu binning in this phone?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Excessive Heat?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
A number of people have gotten over-temperature messages, sometimes with the phones even shutting down.

This has been reported with using navigation, I believe, and I know people have reported it when shooting video. High screen brightness is likely a contributor. But there are examples of the phones running too warm.

Personally, I'd be more interested in cooler running, and longer battery life, rather than increased peak performance. So underclocking, if anything.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androsesp:
Well, the overclocking is not necessary, but is an opportunity to know the limits of the chipset. Moreover, with it we could know if we can make undervolting to our phones and make it more battery efficient with an underclocking kernel, when we need it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Happens to me too when gaming. The problem I observe is that Indeed, it is not excessive heat. But LG thinks otherwise.

You can actually underclock using Kernel Auditor and disable cores. Unless you meant Undervolting.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
Wanna check out periscope and comment back ? Atleast I know that app will push the phone to its limits.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyelm:
Currently using Kernel Adiutor to disable both A57 cores and the phone screen does not heat up like before... Battery life has improved from what i saw yersterday. Continuing testing today. Only problem i have is the damn phone will enable one of the A57 cores after a while which i dont like. I need my settings to stick.

Any Kernel Dev know which files are causing this? Tab 3 had something like this but a couple of files changed solved the non sticking settings on cpu.

Overclocking/underclocking sure but just disabling cores would work for most.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
lol, you're funny.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
I haven't had any popups or heat related reboots, so I was wondering what the matter is here.

On every phone I see complaints over heat so I wondered if something is to it here or if it's the usual. And if there are overheating warnings and shutdowns, then there might be indeed something in the bush.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Try charging your phone in the car whilst using google maps to get to an important meeting, and then take a call just for good measure............and boom, there you have your own little meltdown.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
That happens on every phone I ever had though. It's advised to not use a device while charging at all, so if you stress it to 120% while charging, of course it heats up..

[MENTION=6398395]mythos234[/MENTION] is a pleasure to have you here (speaking as xiaomi mi2s owner too xD)

What Temps do you reach using cpu intensive apps?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Yeah, it might well happen on every phone. But seriously it heats up a lot more than any other phone I've owned and I've had more that a few. Every single one of them has been used in exactly the same circumstances I describe, but the only one that's ever displayed a temp warning and shut down is the G4. So the processor is a pile of crap, and in my opinion they also borked the kernel. When it starts getting hot the CPU needs to throttled, or maybe disable a couple of cores. I'd rather have reduced performance than have to pull over and cool the phone with my cars AC.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Every kernel throttles. If they didn't phones would turn to flames all day. Take a look at the attached screenshot, you can see throttling in progress ;)

No idea whats up with this message people keep having, I'll investigate it when I'm back from vacation.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanynatorBG:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDotNY:
I have a t-mobile G4 and have been using qi pretty much as soon as I received the phone back in the beginning of June. I have the AliExpress sticker and another from Amazon, one on the brown leather back and another on the red leather back. About a week ago I noticed my phone wasn't charging over night so I thought maybe I just didn't place it properly but I found it just totally stopped working. I have 2 TYLT chargers and 2 Nokia puck chargers I've tried and no luck. My wife has a G4 as well so I swapped backs with hers and they work just fine.

Any ideas on a fix or anyone else with the same issue? I tried doing a hard reset already thinking maybe something set it off but that didn't help. NFC is working fine thankfully.

Any helps appreciated! Thanks
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milimbar:
Her back works on your phone, your back dont work on your phone.

Sounds like your sticker died, they are like $3 now, just get another from amazon or ebay.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
That or the alignment is off.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDotNY:
Appreciate it, thank you both. I tried the alignment first and that didn't work at all. I have another qi sticker coming tomorrow so hopefully that works for me. I just don't think thats the issue, I guess I didn't make my self totally clear in the beginning. I have 2 different backs for the G4 (brown and red both with qi stickers) neither work for my phone but both work on the wifes.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unseeablething:
Huh... how do the contacts look on the back of your device?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDotNY:
Ok so I ordered 2 Qi stickers from Amazon and put them on a replacements. Neither work for my G4 but both work for my wifes. Im just guessing but doesn't that pretty much mean somehow my Qi is dead? I know if I get tech support from Tmo they probably won't deal with my issue or know much about it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Does Tmobile sell the Qi case? If so, I would go there and have them install it and test it, play dumb, and ask for a replacement.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDotNY:
Good idea player, I saw they have the quick circle case so maybe I'll give that a shot!

http://www.t-mobile.com/accessories/lg-g4-quick-circle-case-gray.html

The TYLT charger and the Motorola puck charger both have indicator lights. They both light up and show that Qi is activated but the phone simply doesn't receive the charge. I throw the same cover on the wifes phone and it's fine. Drives me nuts :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
Don't bother. I've got the exact same problem as you, except for the fact that my charger lights don't indicate that there is anything there to charge. It's like there isn't a sticker there. With the QI case, and also with my 3rd party sticker. The QI case, which I already owned, doesn't work. It does however work on my girlfriends G4 (and her working QI case, doesn't work on my phone) As far as I'm concerned, the wireless charging circuitry has died. I don't know why. But I did have a 3rd party sticker, but frankly, why should that be the cause? The wired charging circuitry has this sort of protection built in and wouldn't blow because you're using a charger from amazon, so these issues wouldn't occur.

I looked at the G4 teardown on Ifixit, and there is a separate chip on the main PCB of the G4, which controls the QI wireless charging. It is of my belief that this chip has failed, and to fix will require a main PCB replacement. IE a new PCB which contains the SOC/RAM, the chip for the nand flash, the modem, etc etc. I think that sort of repair is generally considered beyond economical repair, and a replacement device will typically be issued, although sometimes if this issue was happening on a larger scale, they might literally just swap out the main PCB for a new one to save a lot of money from wasted housings/screens etc. But on a smaller scale, the man hours to replace the PCB, typically costs more that it's considered worth to just give you a new device. I did do a factory reset as well, just to be sure there wasn't some weird glitch in the firmware that made it appear as if it wasn't charging. But right now, I'm satisfied that the QI chip is dead, and at least a replacement main PCB is needed to resolve.

I'm going to be sending my device in for repair at some point in the near future, I'll post back once I've done that and it's completed, and let you know what happened. However with this touch screen grounding issue becoming uncovered, I am considering waiting for a bit longer, and maybe once the problem has been officially addressed, then I'll send my phone in for repair or replacement..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
Similar thing happened to me, I described this in many of the threads several weeks ago. Was very wary that the charging circuitry was fried somehow, and with your post describing the teardown, I'm convinced. What a pos!

I described my initial thought process here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62234065&postcount=27

Sad to say hardware failure is a realistic possibility.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
And just like that, my second G4's charging circuitry is dead! Unbelievable. Poor showing, LG. This is literally 3 weeks since getting the brand new replacement through my carrier. The first one died within half a week of starting wireless charging.

BTW, the touchscreen issues are much improved with my 10n update on T-Mobile. I may just switch over to wired charging and turn it in for a warranty replacement later. My first had a pink hue on some photos and this one is not so bad.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R10T14:
Having the same issue here... What have people been doing to have this resolved? Going through LG support channels for replacement?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
I went through my carrier for the first onebecause I'm on lease and was in the first 2 weeks with free return. If you own it, LG support channel will probably have you do a warranty return.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budkow:
Glad I found this thread. I replaced my original G4 due to the wireless charging stop working. Now my replacement one has the same problem. Just messaged with Verizon and they're sending me out yet another replacement. Sort of a pain to swap everything over, but glad I can get working hardware.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
:good:

Do you know when each of your phones was manufactured? My first was 5/2015, my second was 6/2015. It's on the label underneath the battery on my T-Mob version.

Not sure how they intend on preventing this from happening again and again. If the circuitry design is just bad and susceptible to this happening, I'm afraid it will happen yet again.

Maybe if LG or the carriers keep hearing about this they might actually investigate. But an actual fix to a hardware issue? I'm sorry to suggest they probably won't ever admit to it, much less fix it. It took a ridiculous amount of press for Apple to admit to Antennagate, and their fix was a stupid TPU bumper.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabulaer:
I've been using LG wireless charger with the G4 and a wireless sticker for 2 month. and now it stop charging wirelessly . I would think that the Qi chip is fried , but how come when I switch off the phone and put it on the wireless charger doc , the phone will startup ? if chip is fired then it should not work . if the phone switchs on by the wireless charger then it does receiver the power. I suspect this problem is software based.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
Well, very odd then. If it is a software issue, I'm not sure how a system setting could be affected if you are not rooted.

My brief experimentation with my second G4 with broken qi charging was similar. It booted if I put it on the qi charger, but it never took charge after that, and the Qi charger LED cut out as soon as it booted, indicating it was not providing any more charge.

tmo gave me a replacement today and of course it's working perfectly. Lets see how long this one lasts.

They initially tried telling me the backs or the stickers I had were bad but I had my wifes phone on hand and they all work just fine on hers so that handled that.

Yeah, I had to PROVE that it wasn't the back, by sticking it on their manager's G4 phone. They love jumping to blame the customer for something stupid like that. 90% of the time, they're probably right!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
Not to be a conspiracy theorist (okay, maybe a little), but it's "interesting" to see that the IDT P9025A Qi charging chip is no longer being recommended by the manufacturer, which has an updated chip, called the P9025AC.
