[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theycallmerayj:
Yep, my battery life has been very poor. I'm getting a replacement for a different reason, but hoping that I can unlock and flash updated images and see if it helps at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveo17:
yes. same here. using Chrome Beta
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belloni:
Same, I hoped they would have fixed the mobile active radio bug, but apparently not.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveo17:
bumping this thread. seems like when i was web browsing on my commute this morning, chrome used more "energy" than my screen did
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaityr:
This is driving me slightly mad, because I am loving everything about the Nexus 6P but for this bug. Two days ago, Facebook was logged as using more battery than my screen. I uninstalled the app and switched to using it on Chrome. That day, Chrome used more battery than my screen. I disabled Chrome as well, and downloaded Dolphin yesterday. And now I have the same problem with Dolphin!

I think it's some form of the mobile radio active bug that destroyed my HTC One M8's battery life - the drain is noticeable mainly when I'm on mobile data, and my battery stats indicate that the apps in question are keeping my mobile radio active longer than necessary.

It frustrates me greatly because this doesn't seem to be a widespread problem - other people have been getting much better battery life without having to remove basic apps like Facebook and Chrome!! What did we do to trip it? Do we need to trade our sets in for new ones or is there something you all have done that has successfully fixed it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
Um.... this isnt unique to the Nexus 6P guys. Chrome is well known to chew battery on pretty much every phone out there. Blame google for bad coding. If its really a big problem, use Titanium to remove it and install Dolphin browser instead
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaityr:
I tried to fix the problem with Facebook and Chrome being battery drainers. I uninstalled FB and disabled Chrome, and switched to Dolphin. Same problem on Dolphin. Dolphin and Android OS now use more battery than my screen. I'm barely going to get 3h SOT on this charge.

There are users who are using Facebook and Chrome as per normal, and reporting SOT of over 5 hours. So there must be something up?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilkyJohnson:
Disable regular chrome and install chrome dev.

Zero issues and have done it on my last three phones.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveo17:
going to try this.

edit:

was anyone besides me using the data saver feature on Chrome? could that be draining the battery?
[Sprint LG G2] annerajb:
I am living overseas and my Sprint phone had a T-mobile sim card.

After arriving is not working decided to update to zvh since I believe it may have to do with roaming settings.

After flashing ZVH stock thru TOT I lost my international sim unlock.

Since the phone says I have a invalid SIM the activation is not working and I cannot do UICC unlock.

I tried using simfree and other unlock methods like copying the telephony.db from the unlock files but it does not appear to be working.

Any idea what are my options? Do I have to downgrade?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Yash129:
So last time my phone was stuck on the device name and model number screen. I solved that issue by flashing TWRP using Odin.

but now the phone would not go past the boot screen no matter what I do. I re-flashed CM11 4 times now, factory reseted and wipe cache and dalvik cache. What should I do?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] maultasche:
1. change your thread title please. Need help is not really helpful or directs to your issue.

2. what version of TWRP are you using? The official TWRP 2.8.7.0 does not work. Too long to explain why's that. To fix this issue there are some solutions if you flashed the faulty recovery:

- flash Stock ROM again and stay on TWRP 2.8.5.0

- some users fixed this issue by just flashing another recovery or just flashing a stock based custom rom to get their phone working. You still need to change recovery.

In my case I had to flash stock again and flash my preferred recovery again to get my phone working.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Yash129:
So I should flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 and flash CM11 again? (because I don't have stock rom for S3 LTE)

Where can I get stock rom fro S3 LTE I can't seem to find it all, I find is firmwares.

Also, a few questions

1) If I give it into my phone carrier (Optus) would they know that it is rooted?

2) If they know it is rooted and with a custom rom and don't fix it for free is it possible to get it fixed by paying money??
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] maultasche:
The firmware provided by Samsung is the stock ROM I'm talking about :)

No, since you tried to flash a ROM through the faulty recovery you need to flash either official firmware from Samsung or a custom ROM based on Samsung stock like AMCHA or N4 Elite. I'd recommend to go with official Samsung firmware. After that go to stock recovery (it will come when you flash official firmware), do a factory reset and let the phone boot once. After that you can flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 and flash any ROM you want.

The new recovery from TWRP is too big for the S3. The S3 recovery is a little over 8MB, the new one needs more and messes up partitions etc. You won't be able to mount /system, /data and the recovery can't read your internal partitions as it should. Go with the way I provided. It seems like a lot of work but it's done in a few minutes.

For your two questions: yes and yes. But you can fix that on your own and don't need your operator or Samsung to get your phone fixed.

Thanks a lot for helping. I was scared to death cause if something happened I would've had to start using a old brick Nokia phones :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Yash129:
Is it possible that after I flash the stock firmware, my phone still doesn't boot up?

I am basically a level above newbie, so I don't get what is happening. I see tutorials and do what they tell me to do. sometime I get what I am doing sometime I don't :p:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] maultasche:
as i said, after flashing stock, go into the recovery and do a factory reset. The phone will boot then
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Yash129:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
My M8 is being goofy and I need some advice. For some reason the thing keeps randomly kicking over to docking mode, playing my ringtone, and the diskette defaults to speaker which is getting real hard on my hearing.

I tried wiping and restoring to a NAND backup but the issues persist. I'm thinking firmware or radios are the issue.

If im wrong, can someone suggest a fix? If updating the firmware sounds wise, could some kind soul post a link to the latest firmware for the Verizon M8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You aren't going to like my answer but this problem can be solved by replacing the flex cable inside the phone. I have had to do this for a few phones already. It's a $15 part plus you would be wise to buy the $11 speaker grill stickers to replace the ones you take off as they won't be reasonably reusable.

There are very small ic and smd on this cable that can break loose and cause this exact symptom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
You're right. I don't like that answer a whole lot. Then again, I do like that it can be fixed for a somewhat reasonable price. The phone spends a lot of time on the dashboard of a big rig and the harsh vibration made me wonder if something like that might be the case. Is is the flex cable for the USB port? I'm probably going to take it to a shop and have it done rather than try it myself.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes that's exactly what it is. Make sure they get the 32g version as the other one is missing an antenna connector.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
Im thinking of doing it myself. Where would you recommend getting the parts?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Bought all of mine via eBay. I can look-up some links and send you them via pm when I'm not mobile.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
That would be awesome! Thank you, thank you very much for your help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
The vibration is easily fixed, carry the phone in your shirt pocket or ?? Your body is as good a vibration insulator as you can find anywhere!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
I keep my phone on my body as little as possible. Its real uncomfortable to have a phone this big stuffed in a pants pocket all day and I almost never wear shirts with pockets. Even when I do I don't put the phone in them because its fallen out too many times. I'll probably lay it on a towel up there or something.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
Mege-thanks!

I wanted to take a moment to give many thanks and utmost appreciation for the help on this problem. I got the board today and just finished installing it a few minutes ago. It's working like charm! I'm VERY happy!

Hi guys. My phone is overheating after 2-3 minutes of using whatever i do. Its not only when im playing games,its everytime i use the phone. The upper part of my phone , the parts near the camera and the upper screen are overheating very badly and the battery is always cold. If i'm not using the phone the battery will not decrease but after some minutes of using my battery my battery will decrease very fast . i had an another phone with battery problems and the battery was decreasing instead of using or not but with this phone the problem is because of the overheating when im using it and charging it. The phone was factory reseted but nothing changed. May i resoft it or reset it again or may i go to a service? Sorry for my bad english

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoAgVz:
hello I had the same problem and the only thing that worked for me is that I used a heat dissipator on the CPU it`s real easy to do you just need to have some experience tearing down the phone

things you need:

1.- tear down the phone and locate the CPU it`s on the back of the motherboard when you open the phone

2.- select on tipe of dissipator because there`s paste and pads and the one that i`ve used are the Pads

I hope it helps, i still have some heating up but it`s way better than before

I forgot to tell that the screen was replaced with the warranty before i bought the phone from somebody . Maybe this is the problem? maybe the screen wasn't replaced properly?

Should i send it back to the service to see if the screen is replaced properly?

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] deploypenguins:
Hi there! I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I have been having on my HAM 2. I have it upgraded to the last Lollipop release from Huawei.

I have wifi at work and a different wifi connection at home. When I go from one place to another, the HAM 2 will not reconnect automatically to the access point without me waking it up.

At work, we have multiple wifi access points throughout the building... it would be nice if I could get it to just reconnect despite the screen being off. I miss out on emails because of this since I don't have data.

Edit1: I forgot to mention, I made sure I have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" as always. It stays connected just fine after I wake it up. But if I leave the house and come back, it would re-establish the wifi connection unless I wake it. After that, it's fine until I leave again.

Any suggestions are totally welcome! Thanks so much.

Thanks for the info! I read some, but am afraid did not finish. Not sure if there was a resolution or not. Glad to hear I'm not the only one running into the issue.

I finally took the plunge and unlocked my bootloader then installed the latest CarbonROM release. Didn't like EMUI anyway. This one seems to reconnect to WIFI without screen-on just fine. Probably something to do with Huawei's built-in power management features? Just guessing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Davinci50:
short answer for others is A complete reinstall of b322 fixed all wifi issues.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
LMAO! :eek: That seems to become the default answer to all hard problems :) ...... if anyone tries it, and it works, keep us posted.

I don't run B322 (I run PACROM), so isn't there a way to adjust power management features to leave WiFi alone on B322? Or even tame down the power management or turn it off just to see how that affects WiFi connectivity.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] deploypenguins:
Thanks for your post! Unfortunately, I tried a complete reflash of B322 and fully reset my phone... had the same problems.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] deploypenguins:
It seemed like there were at least a couple different WIFI-related issues being discussed in the thread you linked. Reinstalling B322 did not fix the WIFI-roaming issue I was having (it sounds like you have this too?). I have not tried PAC-ROM, but so far the first November release of CarbonROM is working okay. 40+ hours of uptime thus far. I'll let you know if I try PAC-ROM and have the same issues, but I'm not sure I'll mess with it unless it breaks again.

Thanks again for all your help in pointing me towards discussion of this issue. I hope you find resolution to your particular problem!

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone may be able to help me out.

I have an HTC One that was imported from the US. It is a Verizon phone, and must be unlocked as I am able to use it where I live (NZ). The problem I am having is that my phone has not been updated at all (the software, android version, etc.). It is still running the same software it came with out of the box (android 4.2.2, HTC Sence 5.0, Software number 1.10.605.8). I am not able to receive OTA updates as I am not connected to the US carrier, and when I go to check for updates manually, the 'Check new' panel is greyed out and it says 'Software update only work in CDMA mode'. We use GSM in NZ.

I have been advised to look for the ROM downloads, but on the HTC One page (h t t p : / / w w w . htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html), it says that ROM downloads are not available for the Verizon phone and to use the HTC Sync manager (h t t p : / / w w w . verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/BPOD-H8432-HTC-Software-Update-V2.pdf). I have tried this several times, but during the upgrade process, the phone restarts and displays the htc logo. Because it restarts, it says it has been disconnected from the computer. The phone gets stuck like that and I have to restart the phone.

Is my phone actually unlocked and if so, would I be able to use the ROM download for the unlocked version? I read something about Verizon phones having a locked bootloader so am a bit apprehensive about trying this.

I have limited knowledge when it comes to all this stuff (flashing, rooting, s-on/s-off, etc). I have found some tutorials about this online, but am not sure if the device I have meets the requirements for them (e.g., the exact file to download).

The tutorials I thought might be most helpful were (sorry, I do not have enough points to post links, so had to add then like this):

h t t p : / / wikitechsolutions.com/6476/how-to-update-htc-one-m7-and-m8-android-5-0-lollipop

h t t p : / / w w w . ibtimes.co.uk/how-update-htc-one-m7-sense-6-official-firmware-1450776

I would be very appreciative of any help I can get with this. I am at wits-end with this. I have tried calling HTC and Verizon and each one says that the other is responsible for the updates and no one will give me a straight answer.

Thanks in advance!

This could be a great reference tool to make sure you get a properly working, up to spec cable.

I got a value priced USB-C <-> USB A cable, but fortunately I'm just using it for quick data syncs to a laptop. I think I'll hold off on getting another one that I'd use with a charger until more of his reviews come out.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] PhoenixTank:
Good info in there, spotted this doing the rounds earlier.

Also worth noting that he is essentially saying that USB A to C cables should never charge at 3A, but only from 0.5A to 2.4A via "Default USB Power".

So, people looking for A->C cables specifically for 3A could be risking the health of their charger&/device.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] DustinDep:
Its not the device thats in any danger just to clear this up, its only the charger and a ton of other fail safes would have to fail as well. The likely hood of anything happening is practically nill! You can also pretty much thank OnePlus for this as all the cables that aren't in compliance basically copied the OnePlus 2's USB-C cable as it was the first one out and unfortunately the OP cable doesn't meet the standard lol I have been using the Orzly multipack with my OnePlus 2 for months and since last week on my Nexus 6P no issues. Personally i think its all been blown out of the water!
