Hmm, I have a (mostly) similar problem to this:

My 8525 (WM6 flashed) wouldn't recognize my battery (when plugged in, status light still just flashes green) but the battery still seems to hold a charge (I've run it for a day with outlook sync enabled, which usually drains the battery completely). Battery status is Unknown.

I bought another battery and the same thing happens. Tried it on USB, tried it on AC power. The battery indicator always indicates "charging" which makes me think that my year+ of owning this phone has knocked one of the wire connections out of place. Any thoughts?

(edit: I should add that I tried Mike's suggestion above a few times and the result was always that immediately after inserting the battery, the red charging light went off)
[General Questions and Answers] Vedral:
Hello all

Until now I've lurked these forums but I made this account today in hope someone might know a solution to this.

I'm using a Haier Pad 971 running near stock android 5.1.1 with launcher3, it's has a Rockchip RK 3288(says ARMv7 in hardware info) and a Mali T760. Everything works fine aside that in some games I get a weird bug where the sound of the games is all noise, pops and other glitchy sounds so far I've had this in games such as DomiNations, Dungeon Link, Shop Heroes, Card King: Dragon Wars (this game also had some graphics bug where the ground showed black boxes in battle). In other games and applications I've tried the sound works just fine so it seems to happen at random with some games

I've tried to use AwesomePlayer in developer options, turned off Force GPU rendering and I've tried to plug in headphones with no success.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to what might cause this please let me know.

Thank you

I have a Nexus 6, stock, not rooted. it is my main phone, and i use it with project Fi.

BUT, i'm looking for a backup phone to replace one i just recently lost.

i still also have my old grandfathered ATT unlimited data plan from back when the iphone first came out, and i was using that sim in my old galaxy note 2, rooted, with various AOSP roms on it. now trouble is, i've lost my old note 2.

So what I'm looking for is:

easily rootable without a buggy hack like a patched kernel

5.5" screen size if possible, preferably bigger

current enough to run a Marshmallow AOSP rom, but does not have to be blazing fast

it's beginning to look like the note 2 is still the way to go...

I made a full wipe(with os too) with twrp on my p8max.

my device isn't recognized by my pc and by huawei hisuite.

To fix the problem i unistalled the twrp and tried to install the stock one with no results.

Now i am able to enter the fastboot mode and the huawei eRecovery (emui).

I downloaded the stock firmware for my device (UPDATA.APP) and used huawei update extractor. Suddenly i put the extracted files in my adb folder and tried to flash via fastboot after opening the command prompt as admin.

When i try to flash files ".img" i always get the error: "FAILED (remote : Command not allowed)"

P.s. My bootloader is unlocked and i checked that.

fastboot recognizes my device

HOW TO SOLVE THIS ERROR ? HOW TO FLASH MY FILES ?

Try it on a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu.

Otherwise i think you still have done something wrong or forget something...

[Zuk Z1 General] thtieig:
Hello,

I'm quite new to this forum and I've recently bought a ZUK Z1.

I had BlackBerry devices (BB10 ones) for long time and going back to Android is a sort of excitement and little disappointment as well from one side.

I've installed Cyanogenmod 13 on my ZUK Z1, but I can't find any way to proper set Sound Profiles like I was used to do with my BlackBerry.

- Normal (calls/notification... etc)

- Phone Calls only (no notifications except calls)

- Silent (no sounds in general)

Plus, I badly miss the 'Bedside mode', where the phone disables mobile network and wifi, all notifications (led/sounds etc) and shows a big black screen with only the clock.

I had a check in the forum and around the web and I found that Sound Profiles seems probably what could solve the first need.

About the second one, there are few apps that are able to display the clock... but that's it - no ability to change the sound profile settings.

So, I was trying to set a profile called "Night" in Sound Profiles to at least be able to get the same setup, using the "enable airplane mode" feature, and have this profile set to launch one of these big clocks apps afterwards.

What I've noticed is that Marshmallow doesn't seem to allow apps to set automatically 'airplane mode'. I'm a bit lost about the reasons, but it seems that I need to have this Xposed installed.

Now, my questions.

1) It seems that the current default procedure to install Xposed Installer and run the Framework install does not work and we need to use this procedure

2) On that guide, the link for Xposed arm v78 sdk 22 is broken, and in the original link I find multiple zips and I'm not sure which one is the correct one I should use.

3) Do I need Gravitybox for my specific purpose of having Sound Profiles able to set this airport mode?

4) Do I really need to do all of this to simply achieve my goals?

Sorry for the long questionnaire but I do really appreciate your help in this :)

Thanks!
[Zuk Z1 General] thtieig:
Just to help others that might face the same... here some answers to my questions :)

Yes, the instructions in "Sound Profiles" app need to be ignored and follow that thread.

The file to install via TWRP (or any other recovery mode) for ZUK Z1 with Marshmallow is xposed-vXX-sdk23-arm.zip. My understanding is that the architecture of this phone is ARM, and the Marshmallow sdk is the 23.

Then I've installed XposedInstaller_XXXX_.apk (latest available) and I can see that all seems installed.

Last bit, is downloading and installing the module that allows apps to access Airplane mode. Found the apk on here. I've used the most recent.

Once all is installed, I opened Xposed Installer, got into 'Modules' an ENABLED "Airplane Mode Helper". This must be enabled in the modules' list AND within its own options.

A nice reboot and all seems working :)

About Gravitybox, I had a look to this video and I've realised that I don't need this. This is an app for who has stock roms. Mine is the Cyanogenmod (v 13) and it's already heavily customisable.

There is still the pending question... is this the right/best app to use to achieve my goals? Until further suggestions, I believe it is :)

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Black Hawk90:
I use Tasker for that.

Just create a scene with a dark transparent background and let tasker show this scene between some hours :D
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Thanks I'm looking for an easier, more automatic application. They have some that use GPS, there has to be one that works.

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Black Hawk90:
Tasker is the most automatacly APP i know :D

You can make everything possible with that APP ;) Also the position and time aumatic you want.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
The thing is it gets dark at different times at different times of the year. Its 5pm in winter and 9pm in summer so this would be problematic w/ a hard and fasat time.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Blankstar85:
look at the tasker plugin Locale/Tasker Twilight Plug-in

Here is the description. should do exactly what your looking to do

Have different day and night situations or have a situation for morning twilight. Or have a situation start 10 minutes before sunrise and end 20 minutest after sunrise.

This app knows when the sun rises and sets.

With Twilight situations can start and end at the following times:

- Astronomical dawn

- Nautical dawn

- Civil dawn

- Sunrise

- Sunset

- Civil dusk

- Nautical dusk

- Astronomical dusk

Or a number of minutes before or after them.

The place for where the times are calculated can either be a fixed, by the user chosen location, or the current location of the device.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Thanks much, I'm going to have to research what commands actually initiate the screen dimming/brightness level.

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Blankstar, could you help me out a bit. I have the plugin installed but i'm a bit confused on the task. I selected action display | display | brightness but this is where I get lost. I did set an action to disable auto brightness as the app suggests then created another action to set brightness to 0 for sunset to sunrise (Actually not that dim). I then thiink I set another task from sunrise to sunset w/ 255 screen brightness correct? Do I need to turn auto brightness back on? The help files don't help me much here. Is there a way to gradually taper down the screen brightness over the last hour of light so the screen just doesn't go from full bright to full dark or is there no linear setting w/o setting up 20 or 30 tasks to adjust brightness over that last hour?

**Update**

I did get it working but oddly the time before/after sunset/sunrise appears to be ignored. It just runs at the time displayed for sunset/dusk/etc. Not sure why. I would set the time before a minute before the current time and wait and it just wouldn't do anything. Then sure enough at the sunset display time it worked. Anyone ever experience this? Maybe it doesn't use the same clock as the phones displayed time?

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tylast:
You can use Tasker (State Plugin) with the Twilight Plugin & Screen Filter (Action Plugin).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] staticx1:

http://imgur.com/a/SWidl
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Thanks I'll try your lux settings. my lux settings never worked. You have confirmed it does auto dim? Is it gradual or does it just go to a predefined dimness at a certain point in time relative to sunrise/sunset?

Thanks

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Tried your settings w/o luck. I can manually enable the night setting but it won't auto set it. It is daylight here now so as a test If i set the sunset to 2pm (It is 3:19PM here) and it will not activate the night setting. If I manually enable night mode and then switch the location from my sunset time of 2pm back to GPS it then puts the bightness to full light (100%) it should but it does not enable night mode or dim the screen.

**UPDATE**

Well I guess I stand corrected. While I could not set a sunset/sunrise time manually to get it to do its thing If i set GPS sunrise/sunset it did in fact dim so who knows? It is working so I'll take it.

wrong toolchain mate.. you need to use the 4.9 arm64-linux-android as suggested in the readme for kernel in the sources

for example or any other but minimum 4.9.. if you want to use a 5.0 you'll need to make some edits to the make file..

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavius99:
Okay let's get to this clear First of all XDA is successful open community that hides no secrets and doesn't present hoax

(note I won't release names in order of respect)

1 : the member that lately released rooted tot files isn't really the one that made the method he just processed it

2: there is a hidden tool that is really useful and helped him and he got it from someone that's how he worked through it

3 : of course editing some system partitions to add the root scripts such as sudo nautilus commands in Ubuntu .

4: The tool is created in a Chinese website and it is called LG professional tools Usually they were three separate versions.

5: With this tool you can cook everything with KDZ TOT (I mean extract repack edit etc.)

6: isn't it weird to find out the guy who used that method was asking how can i get that tool to use it for own business.

7: That's not all there are also things like Hardware Toolboxes such as Octoplus that support LG and Samsung as well for other GSM purposes.

8: After looking into several posts through that guy by saying "send me the KDZ link and I will add the root to it" I realized that he is friendly and is going to unleash root for all the models but then he started to take a back step in PM by saying my tool doesn't work I have to bypass tot to inject root to it and it's price is high (100USD per file) and my request was to unleash for H960 Int EUR model.

Conclusion : this guy is running into a real business of tot files some of them actually by the help of that tool that isn't his so what I want to say is to save your money and your enthusiasm for the real support that doesn't ask for money but you by yourself will send to him which is called donation or somehow an appreciation for what you did .

thanks >>

Here is a picture presenting the tool

Edit

He made a facebook post mentioning the tool costs 2000USD OMG what on earth is that ,even tho it's not his tool!!!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetbeen:
But if he's the only/first one that was able to get his hands on the "tool" and then was also the only/first one to use it to create these files, what's the scandal?

Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavius99:
That's not true he isn't the first one to get his hands on it the creator and some others did as well. it's the matter of how you master it in your own use some prefer it for nasty business some for their own use.

if this tool is leaked there is no way to stop any new LG models from being edited or rooted even if the bootloader is locked the scripts of it some are leaked but missing he's aware of being double crossed by someone
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Some of the senior devs are aware of this unicorn or software. The problem is the people that have access to these unicorns but don't want to share.

The fact that he's charging for some tots and not others is not good practice and I understand your frustration. There was a bounty for root and if ppl pay there pledge there isn't a problem with that had he did get us root.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavius99:
That's true until he realized that the bounty number is about hundreds of dollars so that's why its friendly for some variants but even thou that's not my point it's about the price he asks for and even the author that made that tool mentioned to use for own use. and what drives me crazy is that he's not getting to the straight point (I mean by saying some lame excuses )
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indicious Flow:
Sometimes you have to think of it the other way, what will happen if the tools are actually leaked out to everyone of us, and doesn't that allow LG to patch such things up easily and hence providing better security but lose the access of root? I'm not encouraging this type of doing, but at least this puts such things into control and allow us to have root at the same time.

Some people out there are willing to take the risk, spend their money to get the tools to produce for us, and I known people who spend (a lot) just trying to grab such tools and provide root for the community. You may think that they are "earning" from this kind of business, and providing everyone with root. But you need to think about those people willing to risk their money to actually do such things for us and provided us with what we actually wanted in this community. Some of them merely asked to cover up their cost of spending for the TOT/KDZ and providing it for everyone, others are asking for donations so that they could cover up the cost for the tools itself.

Let's think of this as a win/win situation for the community. You get root, the person gets to cover his losses, everyone is happy. :)

And to be honest, for a junior member, you are complaining too much. You haven't seen the worse of the xda community yet.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavius99:
That doesn't make sense because If LG was aware of security concerns they could've patched security into the download mode in order to accept only official updates from it's servers and that's it , Like Samsung ODIN method the csc files are extracted and repacked easily even for custom roms to be used .

he did not spent money on that tool as much as he gained from the back of it , I mean You are exageratting alot this tool is not a hack and it is a generator there isn't a counter for it to produce for limited time and if you were right then LG kdz extractor should've not been leaked

That's how the meaning of community is, unless you are talking about forum ouh and by the way the word junior member is just to pretend to be noob but you don't know what's behind that profile

Cheers

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavius99:
Well that's great Now I have an advice for you

If you know how to use this tool ..and you want to get credits but even not requested donations then wee all will be glad

If you don't know how to use it then.. then I know if you want me to use it and give you the link of tot uploads to be under your credits you are welcome as well you can pm me if you need

that's how we make community we are not competitors for money we are always available for help as members.

or else you can use it for your own use like the others and zip it then no need for this comment and you can just ignore it.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
To me, all of what you're discussing is mainly speculation. Why and how he did what he did, is pretty much irrelevant. He was able to provide a viable root solution for a number of devices. Regardless of whether the "tool" used was widely distributed or not, he provided the solution. Unless he broke some of XDA's rules, there really isn't much to talk about. And unfortunately if something about it drives you crazy, that's kind of a personal issue.
