Not sure if it will be any good but I have ordered on to see

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Type-C-...986680?hash=item4d44193db8:g:g2UAAOSwt7pXNIHp

There only seems to be one type ATM

and it supposedly charges at DC 5V/1000mA (depending obviously on the transmitting charger)

It's available from Amazon as well but they all link back to China

Early days, here's hoping I don't blow up my 5X

Yes it blocks the USB port but I always SMB stuff from my nas box so that's not a problem.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] colorado_al:
You're lucky if you ever get even 500mA out of it. Every Chinese Qi pad vendor overstates the power on their product. Still, nice to have the option. Let us know how it goes
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
Iiinteresting, ordered one of those through Amazon. Even if it's only 500mA it'll be nice to have, I just hope it doesn't mess with NFC stuff. Looks like it shouldn't given that the antenna for that is near the camera according to the manual.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bexwhitt:
The receiver coil looks bigger than the ones I've seen before so maybe 1 amp is a possibility, i'll let report when it eventually gets here.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bexwhitt:
Quick review

Got the pad now and here is my initial review

Clearly the photo on the advert is a bit of a lie as the coil is about half the size as you can see in the photo below.

The pad is situated to far too the top on the Nexus 5X and sticks out where the fingerprint reader is. This can be easily fixed by cutting a bit off the top, as the coil does not come right to the edge this can be done without ruining the receiver.

THe bit that plugs into the USB socket sticks out which is a bit annoying but not the end of the world.

On my Zens dual Qi charger it took just less than 4 hours to charge from 36% to full so it's not super fast but not that bad over night. The phone indicated slow charging and was AC charging by the battery usage page.

It seems to have no problem staying connected as long as you are aware where the coil is on the pad (towards the top) and has no problem charging through my case

It does not appear to interfere with the radio antenna at all so thats ok.

Also it's super slim so should not interfere with most cases

So in conclusion its fine for me as I rarely need to charge the phone except for overnight, and I have not been using the faster charger anyway.

In case anyone is wondering the case is a Nillkin Matte Super Shield Hard Shell Case which is super nice though the black was a mistake
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
Nice, thanks for the update. I'm still waiting on mine, it'll be nice to have wireless charging again.

edit: I did get mine today... it's a bit flaky at best, currently i'm blaming the qi charger, i've got a different one on the way.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] whyonearth:
Good to know it fits under a Nillkin case, as that's what I have for my Nexus 6P. I ordered a receiver on the 25th, hope I get it soon.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bexwhitt:
The charging on mine seems rock solid but the zens dual does have a pretty big target area to put the coil in.

See the screenshot below the charge looks pretty rock solid
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
While fiddling with it the qi pad I have it only really works when the thing is outside my case in one exact spot. So... given that it worked fine for someone else I went hunting on Amazon and found a better looking unit.

We'll see Saturday when it gets here if I chose the right one.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
Woot, got a full charge overnight with the new qi pad so that old pad is basically crap.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] AABatteries:
How thick is the pad? I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove as many unnecessary part from it and try to fit it under the back cover of the phone. And also solder it directly to the charging board so that the USB would be still usable
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bexwhitt:
it's not very thick at all and any generic Qi receiver would probably do as a few people already have.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WimH8g-H2lE

There is padding over the battery on the back case you can remove if it's too thick
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
Has anyone else been having problems with theirs?

For a couple days now it's charged to full and then the next morning it'll be less than 100%. Yesterday it was at 89%, today it was at 93%. I did verify it was at 100% yesterday before I went to bed.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Voicebox:
I don't have one of these, but I might have a possible explanation. I used to use a 0.7 amp or 1.0 amp charger for charging the 5X overnight. Seemed to work at first, but then it started showing less than 100% in the morning. What seemed to happen from the battery graph is it would charge to full, then start draining (slowly) and not top up again. So I think the low power just didn't trigger it to start charging again once the battery drained a little.

I put it on a 2 amp charger and it now is 100% in the morning. If your phone acts like mine, it might be due to the lower power from wireless charging.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Fnord12:
Yeah.. I was kinda thinking that a little, good to see it confirmed. Not sure how much the pad was getting but the sending unit was only drawing ~1A so that's the issue there...

Oh well, it was a nice experiment, would have been better had it actually worked though. Back to the included charger it is then.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] geolemon:
Just a note from years of experience with these Qi chargers:

There's some inherent loss in efficiency. Essentially, your wall charger is working to spin current around in a coil, which then by magnetic induction causes current to spin around another coil (in your phone), that then feeds into the battery. It's indirect, there's no contact, and some phone materials can even impede it (just one reason these stupid metal wannabe-iphones luddites keep demanding are a terrible idea ).

Bottom line is - you need a charger that's over an amp, closer to 2a if possible, to spin some of these Qi chargers up enough that it makes a large enough field to get to the Qi coil in your phone and charge it efficiently. Ones that come with tablets seem to work fine - I have my Nexus 7 charger on my office Qi (which is angled and serves dual duty of holding my phone for easy reading and viewing).

I'm actually more interested personally in an internal Qi option - solder it in, invisible.

True story - I did that with my S3 before I got an S5, and it worked great. Didn't have to bother when I got an S5, since they sold an optional Qi battery door for the S5. ...don't get me started on my hatred of the design philosophy that excludes removable battery doors.

Anyway - I just picked up a 5x, reluctantly ditching many of the features I had on my S5, to try Google Fi service out.

Wireless charging is something that I'm very interested in - I have wireless chargers literally installed (meaning: hidden, routed wires) in my car, office, and house, specifically to avoid that dorm-room spaghetti-everywhere aesthetic. "Wireless... it's not just for convenience anymore." :D

Hopefully there's a thread with step by step instructions on a good Qi pad and identified soldering points to install internally?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] PiousInquisitor:
Such a thread exists. Someone also offers a service doing the soldering for you. I might be able to find it...

Here is the mod:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3231461

EDIT: why did you mod your S3 when you could have dropped this in?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] geolemon:
That may exist today, but certainly didn't exist when the S3 was the current flagship phone.

Back in those years, the popular (and nearly 'only', here on XDA) modification was to buy the Palm Pre battery door and charger (non-Qi) and use those parts.

Since Palm had recently gone bust, $20 would get you all the parts you need - including Palm's proprietary charger base, a receiver sticker, even a charger.

And honestly, I have to say the Qi charger gets much hotter than the Palm system, so there might be an argument there for it being technically 'better than' the Qi systems. Qi is simply the standard today.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] desirus:
So now with the news that there are some accessories(chargers and cables) that are not compliant with the USB type C specifications, I wonder if these wireless pads are compliant with the specification?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJPrish:
Hi there,

Please help me. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505.

It was rooted and had custom rom installed with Kitkat 4.4. The custom rom was Echoe S5 Port.

I did a full backup of the system and rom before trying to install a different rom.

I attempted to install Albe95 LolliRom version 9.0. I followed all instructions and installed the Modems and bootloader.

Installed the rom, however after rebooting it hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" screen. (not the Samsung logo screen)

So I decided to go back to my backup. Wiped data, cache etc and restored through TWRP. - Successful

Reboots fine, able to use the phone as normal, however the second reboot hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" screen.

I even tried a fresh install of the Echoe S5 port rom and it does the same thing on the second reboot.

I can get into TWRP recovery fine.

All roms were used from this forum.

Let me know if there is any further information required.

Please advise a way forward to recover my phone, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Try a different bootloader would be my first suggestion.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJPrish:
Thanks, I will give that a try and provide feedback later.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJPrish:
No luck, tried various different bootloaders for my model.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I suggest flashing back to a completely stock ROM from sammobile.com and set up the phone to ensure that all functions are working. If everything is fine on a stock ROM, then I would flash TWRP and try to restore the backup.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJPrish:
Just flashed back to stock ROM.

Still stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" screen.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabK22:
I'm almost in same situation and it made me to ask you: Did you try to use Odin to flash the ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
After flashing a stock ROM with Odin, did you perform a factory wipe in stock recovery before booting the phone for the first time?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myotai:
Hi,

All other apps that require root seem to request it - NoFrills CPU doesn't and consequently offers me no option other than to close the app. Just says "...Root access requires..." - without the usual dialogue affording me the chance to grant it.

Anyone else seen this?

Trying to get a little more life out of my Galaxy S6 by trying a few tweaks.

Thanks...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rhoban:
Go into the super user app and see if it shows up there. If it does, grant it root from there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myotai:
I can't see an option to manually add any apps in the SU App...??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rhoban:
I did not say there was any.

I only asked to go inside the app and see if no frills is there with a root denied entry.

Maybe you can set default access to granted. This means that any app will get root access without asking you for permission.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myotai:
thanks, but tried that too - so all apps requiring root are granted it automatically....still asks for root when I start it up.

I did try another app that required root access (can't recall what it was though) and it said that SU wasn't in the expected directory???

Is that any help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rhoban:
It may cause the problem. How did you root?

By the way, why don't you simply try another app. Kernel adiutor for example. It does the same stuff as no frills, maybe it does it even better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myotai:
Flashed CF-Root

Yeah you're right, using CPU Tuner, seems to do the job. Also installed Xposed and using Amplify with Greenify and I have to say I have noticed a MASSIVE difference already today

Thanks for your feedback as ever!

Hello!

Since i got my G2m not to long ago i`m still testing the battery, the Stock Lollipop vs CM 12/13 (especially 13) battery.

I`m already into it, i got a fresh install of Stock Lollipop (had CM13 untill now) but it`ll take much more time to find out, so...

Is there anybody who can tell me his observations regarding the Stock vs CM 12/13 battery?

Much love.

How is HTC with rom updates?

What do you want to see fixed in the ROM Update (if there is going to come one)

I really want the following fixed:

1. Camera choppyness when it does not have sufficient light.

2. Handsfree speaker duplexity
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] odyseus:
Agreed - plus they can sort out the GPS - my Trinity was miles better for signal, time of lock etc & I didn't have to keep running GPSviewer to get other programs (eg Googlemaps & TomTom) correctly using the GPS????- maybe we'll have to wait for a better Radio ROM update??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Imperium:
But will it come? i dont know HTC. so how are they with updates?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nadavi:
1. Faster Loading time (recovering from SR)

2. Faster Device

3. Faster Screen rotation

4. Better BT Headset volume in calls

5. Better Battery life

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
For those of you who are new to these devices... the historical situation has been that Microsoft release updates for OS bugs to the Manufacturers and Networks who customised their own roms. It is then up to them as to whether they wish to release rom updates that have been personalised. It would usually be one major update about a year after a device first hits the streets...

However, with Wm6 we have Windows Updates built in - so it may well be that updates will be available directly to the devices.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanya:
Hey Folks,

I am using Stock with manually removed Bloatware. Root and Xposed are installed. My problem is the high current consumption of my Z5c. I get an average idle consumption between 200-450 ma. On my Z3c the consumption is between 50-150ma in idle state.

I tried several kernel. Stock kernel and androplus v20 - v27, in all kernel i get the same high comsumpition with interactive as governor. Brightness at the lowest and WIFI/DATA off. I use Amplify and in WLD i dont see any Problems. I dont use Facebook, only Whatsapp and GMail. Is somebody have the same problem?

Do you get same values?

Sry for my bad english :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel_loft:
You should also check what apps are using CPU power. I had a somehow similar problem and found that some apps were pretty hungry.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanya:
I checked it already with a process monitor and the biggest cpu user is always system ui. In the battery usage stats of android, the highest usage come from display and android system.

I reflashed the .163 tft three days ago to start with a fresh installation, but the high consumption has remained.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel_loft:
Then maybe there's a setting that you are always making after flashing the system... Live wallpaper?

I have no other idea at the moment...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanya:
No live wallpaper or sth like that. Do anybody know the average ma consumption of Z5c?

Or is it the 810?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
It's some of the system components or pre-shipped apps,

CM13 e.g. is able to achieve 1% per 4-8 hours or even less in idle (Airplane mode), but Stock ROM seemingly always keeps something in the phone busy,

my current suspicion is the fingerprint scanner, adaptive brightness, tap2wake, etc. - so system-side is keeping kernel-side awake, but wakelock detectors hardly show any wakelocks when most is blocked (e.g. via Amplify)

all of those work without hardly increasing battery consumption in AOSP and CM13;

so the only things left are apps and system services - or proprietary "****" that is hidden behind app-name, services and others

the Snapdragon 810 is a kind of hothead, it consumes quite a lot energy under close to full load but that doesn't explain the idle drain ...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
Mine is regularly around 350 give or take a few, that might explain why I only get 4 hours of battery life ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superrman:
my widget pro(same app) says -12ma worst case while screen locked

maybe something running at the background

this phone got lot of problems

but battery is the only thing is pretty okay even without stamina

on average usage its about 2 days for me (heavy 1day)

only calls and sms (with data and wifi off even 4-10 days) android 6.0( build.185)

if the battery was li-poly it was abit better
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanya:
i could solve the problem. It was the xposed module "flat style colored bars" in the current version ( from 2 May 2016; Version 2.1.0), which caused this high idle current consumption. I deinstalled also the latest "goolge play services" update. It was hard to find the guilty.

Now it is back to 100-150ma in idle state. This Thread can be closed.

Thank you for all your help.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
How did you narrow it down to that app? I don't have that module installed but use xstana. That could be my problem.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanya:
First i listed the running cpu process per adb shell (root, with command top). The Sony Photo Analyzer used up to 20% of the cpu every time, so i removed it. After that, the System UI used the most of the cpu all time. I disabled all xposed modules for testing and voila the consumption was back at 100ma. So i go through the list and enabled the modules one by one and restarted it.

I am using XStana in the latest version, so it could be not the problem in your Phone.

My List of Xposed Modules:

Amplify, AppOpsXposed, Battery Home Icon, Blurred System UI (LP), BootManager, Flat Style Colored Bars (Version 2.0.1), GravityBOX (MM), Navbar music Visualizer, Prevent Running, XLED, XStana, XUIMod, YoutubeAdAway, Youtube Background Playback

So you see, i am using lot of modules, but the perfomance and battery consumption is as normal.

Hope i could help you with this information. It was very time-consuming to find the problem. You should also checkout google play services, revert back for testing to the last version if you dont find any other problem.
[Android Auto General] error23:
Hi all !

Does anyone of you also have issues when connecting a Dual SIM phone to AA and trying to place & receive calls ?

In my case - when i connect my OnePlus X (CM13 Custom ROM), AA and the Phone crashes if i do not set a default SIM for outgoing calls in the Phones SIM settings (Option "ask before each call").

I couldn´t try with Stock ROM because this caused Bluetooth Errors with the Cars Media System (no Contact Sync)

Headunit is a SEAT Media System Plus (Alhambra 7N 2016)

:confused:
[Android Auto General] scrads:
Hello fellow OpX user.

I've not got a secondary SIM so can't answer your question. However we are both using the same phone and head unit so I was wondering what your experience with AA is like?

I'm on stock and although it works well I do seem to get constant disconnects, especially if I'm travelling on a specific section of road I can guarantee it'll disconnect there.

Do you have issues this issue on cm13?

Oh and I fixed the Bluetooth contacts issue with an app called Bluetooth Phonebook. Just the HU can't read text messages
[Android Auto General] ljo13:
I think it is because of your ROM. I also use a custom CM13 Rom (Mokee, on a nubia z7 mini) and for me it works. The disadvantage however, is that I have to select which sim to use on the phone. So it does not offer me a choice on the headunit but only on the phone itself. If I do not select a sim on the phone, the call simply does not go trough.
[Android Auto General] error23:
Hi !

I'm running Sultans CM13 Rom for almost 3 months now and it's working perfectly well.

I have nearly no disconnects in AA and Bluetooth is also stable (phonebook, messages...)

The Problem i described in my first post was caused by my flip cover - when it's closed while connected to Bluetooth handsfree and i place a call the phone APP crashes - seems to be a common bug caused by proximity Sensor.

-> not ROM related..

At least for me switching to a custom Rom was the best decision....
[Android Auto General] scrads:
Cheers [MENTION=1102788]error23[/MENTION] that's interesting that you have no issues on Sultan's ROM. I'm beginning to suspect my issues lie with either GPS signal (but I think that'd be more random) or when switching between certain types of Cell Masts as it's always in particular locations or routes.

Out of interest, which country are you in and do you know which bands your network uses for LTE? I'm in the UK on o2 which only uses band 20 for LTE.

At the moment I'm running the OnePlus marshmallow community build.

Thanks
