Yeah I rooted it again for logcat access. I used an app called catlog to see the logs (in real time?) Will checking the logs via adb show me the stored logs and hopefully whats happening just before crash?

At what point after powering the phone on does it actually start logging?
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Logcat should start logging as soon as its service starts, which is early in the booting stage so it should be logging everything that the system spits out while the phone is booting up and while running.

If you know exactly what to look for and how to troubleshoot Android systems, then you can try to debug the issue yourself. If you don't, just post the log(s) and let someone experienced and helpful check it out. Logs should be the files stored in /dev/log.

SOLVED!

Here is what happened: When I first got this device in december, I rooted it the day after it arrived. A week or so later, the phone randomly got stuck in a boot loop. No amount of button presses and or holds helped. The only thing i could think to do was a battery pull. As I was pulling the battery, I tore the ribbon cable in half. Within an hour I had soldered in some kynar to patch the tear. It booted right up and charged no problem at all and didn't give me any trouble until these recent charging issues. Tonight I decided to open it up and check the connections again. Lo and behold, a solder joint had failed in the center (thinnest) part of the patch job. I de-soldered everything, cleaned up the old solder, split the cable up and was able to do a much better patch job this time around. Everything is up and running just like new again. Thank you folks for helping me troubleshoot.

For anyone wondering what the heck I am talking about, here is an image of a similar ribbon cable patch job. This ribbon has 6 tracks. The Pure XL battery only has 3.:

Something I've wondered about soldering on those flex cables, does the soldering iron melt the plastic, I've got a few things that could be fixed if I had the balls to try it
[Blu Pure XL] hexagonlux:
Of the admittedly few flex cables I have soldered on, I can't recall the plastic ever melting. I always use some kind of blade to scrape the top layer and expose the metal tracks underneath. If they are really small and or close together, carefully cutting the plastic between the tracks can make the job easier as you can individually lift and solder them one at a time.
[Blu Pure XL] TJ Green:
Hey. I'm having a similar issue with my phone. How do you get the cable out for the battery? I just purchased this phone with issues from someone and it looks like they tried to remove the battery and I'm having similar issue to you but I'm not able to get the battery out and I don't want to destroy the cable. Thanks.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] StoyanP:
I just got my M4 back from repairs, and it doesn't seem to know which way is up. If I turn on screen auto-rotate, it turns the screen to landscape when I'm holding the phone upwards (portrait). Is there any way to manually calibrate the phone's sensors so this doesn't happen?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Zak108:
Hi all,

I have found a way to change the dpi without root, just using adb and cmd and it worked like a charm...well, almost. There are a couple of UI glitches that appear when you reduce (or increase for that matter) the dpi.

Firstly, the icons on the home screen mess up, but that's not SUCH an issue as you can install another launcher or in my case, find an icon pack that doesn't show the mess up quite as much (my preferable choice because you see the icons set in different areas of the UI, such as the notifications shade and recents menu, settings, etc.)

Secondly, and the most annoying, is the crop function messes up in the weirdest way. Whether it be when changing wallpaper or trying to crop a picture in CamScanner, the image you choose appears zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out or even move the image around, only zoom in further.

Now, my question is, has anyone managed to find a suitable dpi that MIUI does not have a problem with, or are there some standard dpi's MIUI uses apart from 480? Or has anyone found a way around any of these issues (or any other issues they may have encountered when changing the dpi)? Last but not least, is there a custom version of MIUI out there, or a rom that has it's visuals (and camera app) but custom tailored to suit various dpi's and other modifications?

I really cannot live with the stock dpi of 480, it's like using a phone made for old people, waaaay too large EVERYTHING on a large screen, I want to see more on a large screen. But I also am not yet prepared to go off MIUI as I really like their UI, visually, and I know any other rom will lose a lot of camera quality amoungst some other things like battery life, etc.

Thanks guys in advance for any advice.

Use 400 DPI ..There is no issue ..I am using it from 1Month
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] xstrifey:
Which method?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Anands3:
Textdroider App from play store
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] GarbeVR:
If the original one is 386 I think 400 is kinda useless... Or did you mean 300?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] keenan316:
Original is 403dpi if I'm not mistaken. I set mine to 375 and it's absolutely perfect..

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] h4gH:
Is it possible to change the density using terminal emulator directly on phone? Or do I need to have PC?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Zak108:
No, the original is 480, which is too large...where did you get the number 386 from? perhaps it is another one of their phone's stock DPI, which means MIUI might not warp on this DPI value? Will check it out, but any information you have, please let me know
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Zak108:
Not sure about that, I only tried it from the pc, sorry.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] h4gH:
OK will try at home then.

Just to be sure - phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode to accept ADB commands from PC right?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Zak108:
used some of the suggested DPI's but...

so, thanks guys, used some of the suggested DPI values, 386 and 375, and mostly everything works fine....except still some small issues with the icons and the cropping. try and set a wallpaper for a whatsapp group for example, photo shows as zoomed in and cannot zoom out to choose a crop of the WHOLE image like I used to....have attached some screenshots of what happens to my icons....is this possibly because I am not rooted that the DPI value is not getting set in to the system correctly? Is anyone who is rooted facing the same issues or not?

might convince me to root, this is the first device i have managed to be happy without rooting lol
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Zak108:
No, no need....as long as you have ADB drivers installed and you are launching the CMD from within the ADB folder, it will work. Oh and of course USB debugging enabled and the first time it tried to access the phone for ADB details, you will need to allow it to by hitting remember and ok on the phone

The original isn't near 386. I went down to 380 and everything it far smaller than a 6 dpi difference. I'd say stock is closer to 430 - 450
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] GarbeVR:
Yes man, you was right :D the original DPI is 440, the app textdroiderDPI was showing me an incorrect value of 386 (maybe a little bug...).

Setting it on 440 with LeDpiChanger gave me a full stock MIUI size

There is a way to sinc your cookies through chrome on your phone then sinc it on the chrome browser for your computer as one way. Another way but not sure if it will work is to go into your "Android" file and into the "data" file and find the browser and open the folder. Navigate to the cookies folder and copy them to a USB or SD card that your computer can read and then place them into the browser cookie files on the computer by going through the AppData folder to the browser files, and eventually finding the cookie folder and copying the files over.

If your phone is rooted you can find your cookies in data->data->com.android.chrome->app_chrome->Default->Cookies

It is an sql file and I couldn't find an easy way to get it into chrome. In my case I was looking to specifically move facebook cookies, so I was able to query the database with:

select * from cookies where host_key = '.facebook.com' or host_key = 'm.facebook.com';

the results are in the order:

The host_key and the value are the important ones. I was able to copy them into chrome using a cookie manager chrome extension and copy paste

I'm sure there are much more elegant ways to do it, but this worked for me

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonatanc:
Hi,

I noticed that when connecting my phone to the car AUX there's a lot of hissing/static noise in the background, and it doesn't matter what app I use to play music.

I didn't have this problem with my previous phone (Oneplus One).

When using my Bluetooth headphone the noise is gone and the sound is clear.

Does anyone else experience this?

Also, I find the sound quality pretty flat and I'm looking for a good EQ, like the AudioFX I had on the Oneplus One. Tried many by now and all were crap...

Can anyone recommend a good EQ?

Thanks
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidzo80:
I experience similar thing when I use earphones during call. I hear some mix of hissing, rustle noise that is very annoying.

During call mostly I don't hear any sound from other side until he/she started to speak. Very weird. Like some kind of noise reduction or cancellation is turned on.

When I turn on wind noise reduction I can hear other side all the time but hissing noise is constant.

I thought it was earphones problem but it happens with several different earphones.

Currently I use Honor engine AM12 Plus earphones.

I would like to hear some suggestions.

Thanks.

Not to beat a dead horse hear but is anyone else having a hell of a time getting a tilt from our good ol reliable at&t stores? To first answer the obvious question; Why dont I just buy it online and shut the f_ _ k up about it? Answer- Because I have a hook up which will get me the device for next to nothing.

I am just wondering if anyone else is finding the shipments to actual stores as big of a ***** as me?

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fatalhazerd:
Yup

I went to an ATT store in downtown Brooklyn on Monday, they told me they had Tilts, but they were not selling them to anyone not renewing their contracts. I ended up ordering mine online that day (no commitment). I got it this morning XP
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zjchaser:
I too have an in store hookup. He finally gave me a call yesterday. None of my stores got them in until a week and a half after release.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] irablumberg:
In Silicon Valley, each of the local AT&T stores got a few on initial release and they were all sold in 1 day. My local store got a few more and called me since I had asked to be notified. By the time I called back, there was just one left and I was lucky to get it.

These things are hot at least in areas of high tech geek concentration ;-)

No offense of course since I am definitely one of those high tech geeks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jreed012:
Order online. I had mine in two days.

Of course after I received it, one of the buttons didn't work, so I had to return it to a store for a swapout. It took quite a few calls, but i finally found one about 45 minutes from me.

Tip - If you order online, put in on a credit card. If for some reason you need to return it to a store within the first 30 days, that's the only way you'll be able to. Luckily I put mine on a card. If you have it charged to your monthly bill, you'll have to ship it back in and pay for a replacement unit. The problem is it could take several bill cycles to get the credit.

Another Tip - When you call the stores, hit option 2. IF you're lucky, you'll get an instore sales rep. For me, that was very hit-or-miss.

After that , I tried to factory reset the phone but it got stucked at the logo , flashing every 5 seconds or so. I after that tried to take the battery out and switched on my phone , however it just went back to recovery mode on its own , and the process repeats. I tried to press the power button for a long time but it won't go away. Need my phone by next Wednesday , hopefully someone can help me fix this problem!!

It's a wonderful tablet! I just wish I didn't go for the wifi version, but LTE. I use it a lot away from home. Hotspot works from my S6 Edge, but it drains battery fast. And wifi version don't have vibration feedback, LTE does. Not a dealbreaker, but a nice touch. With the original book cover it's very thin. A friend of mine said "Wow! Is that a tablet? It's so thin!" Battery is average, but got a little better with 6.0.1.
