Do you have Location mode on or off?

If it is on, have you ever used an app that uses location mode?

My testing is now almost conclusive that overheating is caused by slim_ap_daemon and that is a gps or location process. Once it starts, quitting apps, or disabling location mode does not stop the process, you must reboot the phone.

here is the write up for the cyanogenmod conversion if somebody could not manage with the google translate :)

View attachment 3505738 - all the usual crap applies (you will void your warranty/I am not responsible for your stupidity/you can seriously f**k up your phone)
[Android General] theblake7:
Thanks, I never tried a conversion but reading those previous instructions were impossible to follow unless one had past experience with the task.

As you are running CM, can you try enabling Location Mode and then use it, like with google maps or something. Then have a look at services and see if 'slim_ap_daemon" is running?

Signal but no data

Recently my phone lost data connection, I am still able to text and make calls but I can not connect to my data network. Upon further review, if i go into my sim card settings option a window pops up that say please wait switching data service and I left that up overnight and nothing happened, my data is still not working but it can make calls and text fine.

Could someone please help me and explain to me why this is happening

HELP PLEASE :)
[Android General] yourmate:
Do you mean in Settings/Apps/Running? Or in Battery?

I have it in battery but could not see it in Apps/Running.

BTW I had it fully charged then I planned a route and left it like that.

Will check it on the morning...
[Android General] theblake7:
Its not an App, so you will only see it in Battery, or any System tool that shows running processes.

But battery only resets the statistics at full charge so you dont get a good overview of whats happening right now, thats why I like GSam Battery Monitor. It has some useful graphs, and you can start the statistics from a specific moment which is handy.

Hi

I can only install supersu? I do not want install the CM 12.1..

I only need root my phone, I need to remove some applications

thanks
[Android General] ramping:
Guys mi phone is already at the mailpost, but there´s something I still ignore about it....what kind of screen protection does it have? I read all specs I could find, but says nothing about that.....
[Android General] zachlo:
just skip the step about installing cm12 on that website, and also skip the google apps install on that website
[Android General] darthvader313:
cause redmi isnt as pretty as this... and i got this on sale xD
[Android General] theblake7:
It comes with a cheap screen protector. Buy a better Tempered glass one and case from AliExpress.

Whatever you do, dont drop it. :rolleyes:
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Okay, did you try doing a factory reset?

Tbh if you're running the same stock ROM and I'm pretty sure you are I don't really know what else it could be.

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

I agree, his device is quite slippery. Luckily I bought the bundle 1 during the flash sale so I got the tempered glass protector which I applied almost straight away and it's perfect.

Now I'm just waiting for my case to get to me, which I bought from another seller.

Hello !

I am the author of this topic:

httpjeuxvideo.com/forums/42-1000005-41378686-1-0-1-0-tuto-zte-v5-pro-installer-twrp-et-cm-12-1.html

I thought sincerely help people , but hey, after installing CM 12.1 on two phones ZTE V5 Pro , I realize that it's not that good .

Two processes that eat up battery:

dex2oat

slim_ap_daemon ( httpnoelshack.com/2015-42-1444729087-screenshot-2015-10-13-11-33-48.png ( knowing he ascended to 13% a while ... )

I lost 15% in 10 minutes just by being on Google Music is not really normal , with my OPO I lost only 1% ...

I will test the ROM Post # 145 I believe
[Android General] yourmate:
On CM it used 32% _BUT_ I have planned a route and then jumped to the Desktop (so screen could go off) and Google Maps was running in the background.

Now I am charging it and will try with the same method except I will exit from Google Maps and will check how it goes.
[Android General] yourmate:
what ROM?
[Android General] F-35A:
Wow 32% ... This is huge !

I tried to install the ROM in the message 145 but it just via fastboot flash " boot.img " and " system.img " ? Because I have tried and would not work. I see juste the logo nubia.

Sorry for m'y english, i'm French ^^ Forgive me

EDIT : It's the ROM on the post 145 ( page 15 )
[Android General] yourmate:
mind though it was with running route planning...

will see it today
[Android General] theblake7:
Thanks, that is also what my testing proved. (read my reports last few pages)

Today with Location mode disabled, phone battery usage was 8% in 8 hours, and maximum temp 26C

Very low use of phone, just a few text and a phone call.

Yesterday, with location mode enabled, and exactly the same level of use, crazy high temperatures of up to 48C and about 50% battery. All this happening with the screen off and phone idle.

I need to root the phone and delete slim_ap_daemon, maybe I will try later

[Android General] yourmate:
To my surprise since the phone has been fully discharged I don't have this service running. Nor when Google Maps started, neither when route planned - not even after a reboot...

EDIT:

When I opened Settings/Location (even though I have NOT altered any settings!!) the above mentioned service started...

[Android General] Qasim123:
Yes slim ap daemon consumes a lot of battery and only way to stop is reboot, I like this gone got few days , battery still a big concern though
[Android General] tazmako:
They let use we location info for what?
[Android General] theblake7:
I dont know what process will be using Location. I have not got any app installed on my phone, its just stock, plus a battery monitor. Something will just start using location/gps by itself.

Could be anything!

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Would you mind rewriting that for just instructions to root the phone?

Thats all I need. :good:

Sorry, I am not family with custom rom and root terminology, so I am not 100% sure what bits to leave out

p.s. Also do I need Windows for this?. I only have Linux (or Mac at work)
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Report for what?
[Android General] yourmate:
Strange! Whatever I do now I cannot activate this service, no matter what...

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

You don't need Windows you can do it from a Linux terminal window or from OSX but then you need the relevant ADB...

For selling a lot of buggy and messy ZTE v5 pro
[Android General] theblake7:
I think you need to check your APN settings or call your phone company.

ALso check your SIM in another phone.

Failing that, try a factory reset. I cant think of anything else.
[Android General] zachlo:
I have tried all of those things even re-flashing the stock firmware, the sim works perfectly in other phones, but for some reason I can not get data on my v5 pro no matter what sim I use and like I stated when I go to settings, sim cards it gives me a please wait, switching data service screen and nothing happens. I have left that screen like that all night and in the morning everything was still the same with my no data issue
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Well, tbh I don't see anything wrong with them. I bought 3 phones and they all work fine.

Perhaps instead of reporting you can contact them and ask to sort it out?

Perhaps you need to ask your network if the phone should work?
[Android General] zachlo:
The phone did work on my network before data and all, and my other family members have the same phone on the same network and their phone also work data and all

Battery life; slim_ap_daemon

Hey guys, I've recently switched from iOS to Android (yeeey for me!) and joined this forum. I have read through multiple threads also in other languages, yet I fail to find a proper solution to my problem. Enough beating around the bush, here is my problem, which was also discussed a few pages back:

Process found in Battery, slim_ap_daemon, consumed 41% (!) of battery since the last full charge, and it would continue sucking the juice if I didn't stop it. I was trying to disable the process through DisableService app, however, I was unable to find anything even remotely close or similar. Is there any way to prevent this process from draining that much of battery life? It's just annoying to lose up to 40% during my 7 hours of sleep. The only way how I managed to stop this daemon from his activities was to stop Location services in the drop-down menu. Then, the usage of CPU has stopped. Unfortunately enough, it has started to work its magic again while I'm typing this message. I am a bit confused... no idea what that service even does (apart from pissing me off, of course).

Any ideas? I don't really feel like rooting the device yet. But if there's any other option, I'd be happy to try it out. Thank you guys for help.

Cheers

P.S. My phone also came after two weeks, plus I had to pay around €42 customs (€30 tax, €12 commission fee to DHL) So you're not alone guys.
[Android General] xKhaosx:
I have a doubt. When you leave a comment and calification about an item purchased in Aliexpress, It appears inmediatly or the seller must approve it or leave a reply? Its strange that with´more than 2.700 units selled by Etstar there are only 2 comments. And these 2 comments are possitives. Sorry for my english.
[Android General] F-35A:
I'm back , I forgot to tell you :

One of the guys who upload the links to CM 12.1 also upload this: www////mega.nz/#!6k5CiSJT!5R6-vG6aU8gJ-ih-Ysb2leXM02whPzUKMFC_9PT3Eck

This is the link of the " ROM stock " in a way, English / Chinese full withoutclean master and other bull****.
[Android General] tazmako:
Thank you.

i'm downloading after flash i'm coming to report.
[Android General] pazvanti:
Interesting find? Does this have Play Store? I am curious if we can actually use a clean ROM to fix the battery drain problems and also get updates from ZTE :)
[Android General] sensorex@gmail.com:
There is some very suspicious apps eg, dc share,go2search, stock search system (the CM says is virus), KK browser,neo share etc.

If you dont root your phone, try to hibernate , and banning that progs from clean master.

Ihave unistalled the next apps from mine after rooted.

DC share (that was very hard to remove, i have a root and system app remover, but i cant remove, im search in total commander, and delete it. I think and CM says thats malware)

Stock browser ( always collaapsed)

Go2reach service (its use more and more battery)

Search

KK browser (its generating more and more popup sh*ts)

Magic photo (bloatware)

Music (china music no need)

neoshare (chinesse)

nubia park (chinesse)

video (chinesse)

So, after im removed this bloat and malwares my phone working correctly. The battery is normal using 2 days.

Si if you dont have a root you cant remove, but u can banned from CM.

I mean the final solution is the global rom for this device, if the zte is planning the global sellings, if not, we need to porting other nubia firmware to this phone.
[Android General] F-35A:
I have not used this version because it is an English version and that I and the English ... ^^

From memory, I think there has Playstore but in doubt here is a link to download it :

lolololol://opengapps.org/

Select arm64 , 5.1 and pico

After I'm sure there are no CLEANMASTER and all
[Android General] sensorex@gmail.com:
Yes i think is APN. I have a vodafone hungary card, after reset and upgrade and something, the phone write back wrong APN everytime!

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Im flashed it, working fine. did you installed the ZTE usb drivers? Connect the phone in CD rom driver mode, and there find the drivers.

ps: Im using this fastboot mode to flashing twrp recovery and superuser too.
[Android General] F-35A:
Thank you very much for your help, I just uninstall everything .

But in the battery, I see process " com.cleanmaster.mguard " and " com.go2.reach.mayi " while in total control I removed both files

Do you have the same problem as me ?
[Android General] zachlo:
Original firmware files

http://www.ztehn.com/download.php

That link will take you to the two original firmware files for the V5 pro, these files come straight from ZTE so they don't have all the bull**** software from Etstar.

My computer keeps wanting to stop the downloads and they wont finish. I was wondering if someone could download the for the entire v5 community and upload them to another mirror server so others could download them

Thank you

Yes I do realize that but I was trying to get the very stock firmware with the radio and all, and i was hoping that someone could download the firmware and upload a mirror so I could be able to download it and hopefully get my no data problem fixed

[Android General] theblake7:
If you do a google search on "slim_ap_daemon" there are many people reporting overheating and excesssive battery use across a wide range of phones. BUT most of these reports are in foreign languages, that is curious.

So its very clear its not a fault of the ZTE phone itself.

Still there is no clear indication of whether this file is standard Android or from Vendors, or whether it is necessary for Location (GPS) services to work. I checked with a friend who has a Googe Nexus 5 and she said Slim_ap_daemon is not running on her phone.
[Android General] marcosius:
how do I flash my brand new phone with this rom?
[Android General] theblake7:
Full instructions to flash the phone are on the previous pages, only yesterday.
[Android General] CamoGeko:
No point flashing until someone can confirm Google account can be set up tbh.

This device without Google is just another handicapped Chinese device.
[Android General] theblake7:
I dont think there is any point flashing.. Just need to root and delete "/vendor/bin/slim_ap_daemon"

On my phone, 25 hours since last charge and battery is at 78%

I havent deleted/disabled any application since a factory reset, only disabled Location mode.
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Yeah that's an issue for me since I use a banking app that won't work when the device is rooted or has custom firmware on it like CM.

However my battery seems to be pretty good anyways. Kinda annoyed that I can update via OTA tho.

PS. I posted my battery screenshots before and I get just over 6 hours screen on time with medium - high usage which isn't bad at all tbh.
[Android General] tazmako:
I contract to etstar seller about rom.

She told me around 2-3days etstar have official rom out for everyone.
[Android General] theblake7:
I just disabled all the extra apps and services that didn't look important and battery use increased from 1% per hour to over 3% and temp increased from around 26C to 34C.

So I renabled all the apps and battery use reduced back to 1% per hour. Next job is to disable one at a time :)
[Android General] yourmate:
I have noticed - although I'm on CM currently - that you can choose many options in SIM/Preferred Network type.

I have at least 20(!) to choose from. If I use LTE (only) then data works but no phone calls/texts. You can play around...
[Android General] kalky:
So I just realized, that I am not able to stop the deamon from draining the battery without a root.

Is there any easy way to root my phone? I was not able to follow the manual posted a few pages back, so I tried Kingo Root. Unfortunately, it failed on 75%. Can anyone help me please? I'm desperate :D

thanks
[Android General] yourmate:
I should have read last night's posts :D

Find the ROM myself on ZTE's site, registered with baidu (pita) and downloaded the ROM in a VM...

So after a one hour work I am in the same situation as just clicking on a mega link somebody uploaded. Sh*t ;)

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

After I flashed the original ZTE rom I'll do a write up.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

and about the ET Star and other Chinese ROMs in general...

I might be an idiot but I wouldn't and I didn't put my own SIM - not to mention to log into my own google account - into a phone with all those bloat/mailware. I even deleted the VM I have downloaded the file from baidu as it installed a dl manager ;)

So I can see two options to use this phone

1) original ZTE ROM rooted and services checked/deleted/monitored

2) non-Chinese CM port
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Lol being a bit paranoid^ ?

I think I disabled dcshare, search and kkbrowser before I set my Google account up. Can't remember tbh

Pretty sure as long as you're not typing it into a fake login screen you'll be fine.
[Android General] yourmate:
Exactly my point! How do you know what's running in the background?

So yes, maybe I am but I am also old enough to remember the saying "Better safe than sorry" ;)
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Haha yeah, our age always gets the better of us. [emoji14]

All in all though I can't believe I got this device for around £100 which is just amazing. Plus I only had to pay import tax on 2 of them.
[Android General] yourmate:
You have a valid point - I've bought a Doogee DG550 for my son a year ago for a tenner more...

I had no risk as probably I just pass this on after I played around a bit but it's a shame that something looks this decent is filled with a loads of rubbish.

BTW I just finished flashing the ori ROM from ZTE. It feels a bit snappier than the ETstar one.

[Android General] Cristi_C:
Thanks!

Update after a few days of use. The battery is ok, it last for about one day of average use(some phone calls, sms, some web browsing, and youtube videos). I've not experienced any lag, crashes, or overheating. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase.
[Android General] kalky:
Thanks yourmate for taking your time to upload a solution.

My update on device: I wasn't really able to execute the cyanogenmod - always got some type of error. However I proceeded with gapps, which got rid of ****ty unnecessary apps and deamon (at least its battery consumption) is gone. There is one thing though. Battery life got way better, but android system is taking up to 50%? See screenshot. Plus nubia says there is an update available, is that supposed to happen?
