Obviously some people have this problem and some not?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Apparently. Can someone confirm with a screenshot that they're able to charge while using turn by turn navigation, streaming music/video, and have the screen on? I actually lose charge slowly with that scenario especially if it's video like YouTube or Hulu.
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
I confirm the slow charge while using phone. It literally crawls. 5% in 20 minutes or so. While screen is off, it charges pretty fast.

Hopefully it is a software restriction google can remove with newer updates.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I'm about the same when streaming YouTube. Turn off the screen and it shoots up.
[Nexus 5X General] mflow:
Happens with the Stock Australian Charger as well. When the screen in on, Ampere only shows 80-300mA of charge rate. However, once you turn the screen off, the Ampere notification immediately shows 2650mA.

Hopefully this is just an Software Limitation. My old N6 charges at 2.2A while screen on (albeit it is very very hot)
[Nexus 5X General] Darke5tShad0w:
No problems here in NZ
[Nexus 5X General] mflow:
Might be because of ambient temp? lol. It's pretty hot day today in Melb (34++ or so).
[Nexus 5X General] Darke5tShad0w:
Could be true, But i haven't had an issue all summer and we have had 30+ days
[Nexus 5X General] mflow:
Well, might be something to do with my ROM. Will try flashing other ROMs :D
[Nexus 5X General] Darke5tShad0w:
There is a fault with the stock LG chargers. Does your touch screen lag when plugged in?

You could try getting another one.
[Nexus 5X General] mflow:
Nope, there is no noticeable lag while plugged in to the charger.

"getting another one" means? Getting a replacement phone or getting a replacement charger?
[Nexus 5X General] Darke5tShad0w:
Another charger, or atleast another one you can try to see if its the same if you have not already?
[Nexus 5X General] mflow:
well. i got no other charger. but there is no problem with mine :)
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Got a screenshot of no problems with charging with the screen on?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Well that's somewhat what I meant. I meant like the battery graph with it charging and the screen on for something like 30 minutes. This is commonly something we see when using the phone in a car with GPS.
[Nexus 5X General] xsasuke:
I have the same problem too, recently got a Nexus 5X, my last phone was a Galaxy S5 and it always charged fast when screen was on. Here in N5X its 1-2% in 15 minutes... Just with screen off it charges fast.

[Nexus 5X General] kdh2834:
Its just the thermal throttling. When you use your phone and charge simultaneously its bound to get more hot, so its throttled to a level where it won't be damaged or not felt too hot in your hands I guess..

But you can always set your throttling temperature to what you want if your device is rooted. A little increase in the temperature wont harm your device.

So I increased 6 degrees Celsius and here is the result. Red part is prior to increasing the temperature ie. stock profile and green part is after increasing the throttling temperature.

This is little bit more of my usage, played a game while charging

And if I play a high graphics game then it doesn't charge nor discharge
[Nexus 5X General] Mueckel:
have with jolla kernel faster charging times with display on, GPS logging on, bluetooth spotify streaming on. At about 45 ° C battery temperature I get overheat message.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/jolla-kernelbullhead-t3271530
[Nexus 5X General] mflow:
so Jolla kernel solves the slow charging problem?

===

Tried charging with screen on (for few seconds). Ambient Temp is somewhere around 16-17C, Battery temp is 23C.

at 23C phone charges at 2520mA

at 27C phone charges at 2210mA

iin my case, temp increase means reduced charging rate (which is normal) and might be the safeguard from Google.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
It is but this is the first phone for me with a low enough setting (Stock) to get zero or slow discharge with the screen on and moderate use.
[Nexus 5X General] vikastanwar:
I've seen the same thing. Battery was down to 15% when I got off work yesterday. I cleared out the screen on, connected it to my auto (which ought to be a fast charge), and spilled some youtube recordings by means of Bluetooth.

Returned home 45 mins later and the telephone had charged to 18%
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Curious but what car charger are you using or by "auto" do you mean your car's USB port?
[Nexus 5X General] dwang:
How did you change the throttling temperature?
[Nexus 5X General] kdh2834:
/system/etc/thermal-engine-8992.conf

edit with a file manager. I use es file manager

Change the thresholds
[Nexus 5X General] Abaddon:
could you share your thermal-engine-8992.conf? or the exact ones you changed please :)
[Nexus 5X General] kdh2834:
Unzip the file and replace with the original one.

Ive also increased throttling temperature for the cpu. This is currently my setup. Phone gets hot fast though.

Edit : battery is likely to drain a bit more because cpu is not throttled early and will stay at higher clock for a longer duration.
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
So how high does your battery temperature go now?
[Nexus 5X General] kdh2834:
45-48°C while charging + youtube
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
That doesn't seem too bad. What's your ambient temperature like?
[Nexus 5X General] kdh2834:
Around 27°C
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Just don't be surprised if you notice faster degradation after increasing the thermal tolerances. Faster charging will already degrade faster than slow charging, adding extra heat in the mix can only speed it up further.

Most will say they only user their phone for a year so they don't care I guess, and that's why I don't buy used lol.
[Nexus 5X General] jody2k:
More heat wont degrade anything unless you want to use your phone 5+ years and your temperature is 80+ degrees. Even fast charging won't matter really much because battery is designed to handle it. There is no proof of your statements

How long your battery lasts is hard to say. It can vary alot without a real cause its just matter of luck or bad luck
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
45-48° Celsius is pretty up there. I'd say too hot for my liking.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
My N5 battery went about 1.5 years before the random battery degradation issues were bad enough that I wanted to swap it out. I only charged it about once every 2 days and never charge my devices while hot such as playing games. Every laptop I've owned had its battery dead within about 12 months though admittedly those conditions are much worse for battery health.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say. I have all the evidence I need of how quickly these batteries can degrade from personal experience, and while I do appreciate a healthy dose of skepticism, this is actually common knowledge in the battery industry though they would much prefer us to believe as you do and remain ignorant of the subject.

Did you know that most batteries are only rated for about 500 charge cycles? You'd have to last almost 4 days per charge to get near 5 year longevity.
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
Without increasing any threshold, mine already hits 45-46° C at times while charging.
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
Have made only the battery and LCD related changes, lets see how this goes. Will report back with the behavior at my end.

Edit: It appears to have fixes the issue for me.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
So I pointed both of my vents at my phone while charging and having YouTube playing during my drive home. It looks like it kept the phone cool enough to charge at a decent rate. 22 minute drive got me 15 percent which would usually only be around 5 percent. Battery temp was 81.5°F according to my widget.
[Nexus 5X General] aniel300:
Does anybody here know how to change throttling temperatures ?
[Nexus 5X General] clcdev:
I believe you need a custom kernel to do that. I use elementalX and it is set by default 46 (I think stock is 36?).
[Nexus 5X General] aniel300:
I do have that very same one how to you change it, i don't might the phone getting hot i prefer no lag or frame drops. And thank you for replying
[Nexus 5X General] clcdev:
For ElementalX, you need the EX Kernel Manager paid app (available from the play store). Once you have that, there is a "Thermal throttling" option under the CPU settings that you can change and then select the little power button next to it to apply the change on reboot. I'm not sure if there is a way to set this option for the elementalx kernel outside of the app.
[Nexus 5X General] aniel300:
Ok send me a screenshot please, i do have the app
[Nexus 5X General] clcdev:
Screenshot attached. I would think there wouldn't be any difference between the 5X and 6P version.
[Nexus 5X General] aniel300:
Im using android n and i do not have that option, wth is going on
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Just a guess but they have MSM_thermal disabled, does that open up the option to set it manually?
[Nexus 5X General] aniel300:
Nat really
[Nexus 5X General] kdh2834:
You need a kernel that allows you to change that value. For N you can use jolla or racer kernel
[Nexus 5X General] kicksilver:
People really wanna explode their batteries, huh?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Now this is the kind of charging I'd like fast charging USB type C to have.

[Nexus 5X General] user822:
Mine even discharges when plugged in and navigation is running. What the hell LG, get it together
[Nexus 5X General] asc366:
Same issue here for me still. This ain't due to temperature as mine is cool enough (sub 30 celsius) to not be considered "hot". But, I don't believe every model has this as this thread hasn't "exploded" enough for it to be considered a general malfunction for every n5x. Perhaps we can find a batch with some serial numbers which has the issues while others don't?
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Does anyone really care that the thread hasn't exploded? This sounds so silly. You're not really serious are you?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climent:
Hi

I am having a small problem with my G3. Every so often (every other minute, maybe) the screen refreshes really quickly, kind of goes black for a fraction of a second and gets back to normal. When I am reading a book with kindle it does not affect my reading, but with some apps like The Economist, the article jumps to line 1 and I have to scroll down to get to the section I was reading.

This is a deal breaker for me, ever since I moved my Economist subscription from the Kindle store to a direct subscription with The Economist.

Does anyone have the same problem?

I am considering a reflash of the phone with CM13 or CM12 in order to see if the problem persists, but I am not convinced since at some point I might want to go back to the original FW and I have not figured out yet how to do that.

FTR, I have a OnePlus One and a Nexus5 but I rather use the G3 since I can have a 128GB SD card with all my music (subway commuting without signal is also a bummer in NYC).

Hello,

My Universal died after a drop on one of the corners from about 1.5m high. There is no visual damage on the outside, nor on the inside.

Unit is completele non responsive. Connecting mini-usb gives a short red flash. nothing else. PC says USB-device not recognized.

I disassambled the unit to check all the connectors. Nothing abnormal found.

Question: does the Universal has only soldered components, or are there also components places in sockets? I did not dare to take off all the metal covers yet, and I am hoping that a component got out of its socket.

Please advise.

Roelof
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] roelof999:
No sockets

Yesterday I disssambled my Universal and took off all the metal covers: NO SOCKETS (as I expected a little already). Also I could not see anything strange.

So if no one has a good idea this Universal is realy dead.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rnzk8:
maybe the lcd is the problem... have you checked?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] roelof999:
Well, I do not see anything on the LCD. Also the USB is not recognized by my PC and no activity at all is shown at the leds of the Universal. So my first concern is the mainboard, not the LCD.

Anywhy thanks for your reaction.

Roelof
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stefanb:
well i had the same problem with my universal (1.5 -> down, short red light when connected to power). even had it checked by an asic designer afterwards. no obvious problems. (except i didnt work)

bought a new one with broken display and merged the devices.

im afraid your mainboard is broken (or some non exchangable component on it).

No ftf with root. An ftf is pure Sony release. Just flash a rootable version, root and update.

I have purchased a galaxy s5 plus 3months ago. And for a week now, it started doing this weird thing! Almost everytime I try to unlock the phone, the screen flickers a yellowish tint. Sometimes it takes 2 or three tries to get the device to display correctly. there are times when it flickers and goes blank, then I'd have to lock and try again a couple of times, and other times it just flickers and displays correctly right after. The problem never occurs while using the device, only on unlocking.

I wonder what the cause might be. And if anybody had a similar experience and has a fix, please help!

I am wondering if the 128gb of the S6 (non-edge) from AT&T (without contract) is easily unlockable to be used in Europe.

Are there any issues with unlocking?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] timde9:
All the requirements for unlocking a device at att.com/deviceunlock. You also submit the request from that same site. However if you plan on rooting the phone and can afford to just pay full price I would reccomend you get a international g920f instead of the at&t g920a so that you have more options for rooting and modding as the at&t is tightly locked down and cannot be rooted on the latest updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sd_dracula:
Hmm. On that page it says this:

Prepaid / GoPhone®

The device must be active for at least six months of paid service.

So I guess you can't just buy it and unlock it right away?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] timde9:
Exactly but again if you can afford to pay full price for go phone you'd be much better off getting the international g9020f and its unlocked by default
