[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Frankiefaithful:
I think a lot of 2015 phones batteries were really bad because the SD808 and SD810 chips. Didn't they have some serious issue with destroying battery life? I owned the 6p for about 5 months, but finally got rid of it because I couldn't take the battery life anymore. It was just horrendous for the battery size. Turned me off of Google and Android for a bit. There's no reason why it should have been that bad, unless of course the 810 chips were just bad. I'm in the same boat as you. The Pixel XL is really my last hope in Google and Android.

I'm very particular about battery life, and I'm hoping the battery life on the Pixel XL is not just good, but great. I see no reason why it shouldn't be. I mean come on, you're running the latest software, on a device made specifically for it, which they keep barking about everything being "built in". They're using an under clocked 821. The only reason I can see it for eating battery is if they keep data collection services running 24/7, which I imagine they might want to do, since it's their first real Google phone, and they'll want to collect as much information as possible. Or perhaps the assistant will eat away at the battery for some reason. To be honest, I'm sceptical about the Pixel XL battery life ever since I got burned by the 6p.

It frustrates me that I have to install a custom rom to get a battery life the phone is capable of. My latest phone is the S7 Edge, which was getting me about 4 hours of SOT. I threw a custom rom on there that not only improves function and performance, but also provides me with 8.5 hours of SOT with the same usage patterns. Why? It's just not right. Why can't the multibillion dollar companies, employing the best engineers and software developers in the world provide a better OS and battery out of the box than 90% of the roms posted on this site?

Now we wait on benchmarks and reviews.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] infamousjax:
I, too, am concerned about the battery life. I'm coming from a Nexus 6 which I've always gotten decent battery with -- around 4.5 hours SOT. I'm really hoping the Pixel can push that to 5.5 or even 6.

I was recently gifted an LG v10 and the battery life on that thing was horrid. About 2 hours SOT. Here's hoping Google works some magic!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Had Nexus 6, Note 7, the Pixel will have phenomenal battery life.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Sources? Or are you just speculating?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Hoodeddeathman:
As Frankiefaithful said the 821 is clocked no higher than the 820 and I'd like to think that is in the name of improving battery efficiency by lowering the voltage and thermal throttle. I hope there are many other software optimisations since they've spent most of their time and effort on software, I understand that Google worked closely with Qualcomm on the pixel so there may very well be many improvements in the OS to run the processor efficiently. Furthermore given that the battery is the same size as the 6P, the screen slightly smaller and all the above specualtions I would hope the battery is going to be Incredible.

The guy on reddit who had all his posts deleted said he was at 5hrs SOT with 53% left after a heap of benchmarks. I take this with a pinch of salt but it could be a good sign.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Buddyfunlove:
Pretty good article chronicalling what has been found so far.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DarkRhinon:
[whops, wrong thread, sry]
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Frankiefaithful:
Good find. Thanks.

It does look promising. All I know is, right now I'm averaging 8 hours of SOT on the S7 Edge (with my usage). That's 8 hours of just browsing on chrome using LTE, nothing else except a bit ( about 1 hour a day) of music playback using Google Play Music on LTE with the screen off. Also location is set on high and Bluetooth is on, and screen brightness between a quarter and half through out the day.

The Pixel XL should be able to accomplish at least that. I don't see why it shouldn't. The Pixel XL has 150mah less battery than the S7 Edge, so maybe a tiny bit less battery life would make sense. Another difference is the Snapdragon vs the Exynos. Either way, you're talking about Google's first phone, I hope they impress.

I'll have my hands on one this week, and I'll start posting all kinds of stuff regarding battery life. It what I'm most passionate about when it comes to smartphones. You'll get the real deal benchmarks and real usage tests when I'm through with it.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
the XL has a pretty meaty battery unless something is off it should have good battery life. I was getting a day of normal use and ending on about 50% on my note 7 (dropped to about 45% if I forgot to put it on charge overnight) Note was 3500 and Pixel XL is 3450 so if google has made it properly it should have a strong battery life. (altho my Note was an Exynos chip and they generally use less power than SD)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] chazall1:
It will have after EX puts out a kernel.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tri0xinn:
D801 bricked... I know I could spend days and nights and possilby get it figured out but I think it's pretty bad this time and I'd like to send it for service, I googled it and found a few places at around $40 for jtag service. I know the LG G2 isn't worth a great deal these days but I like to keep my old phones for sentimental value for some reason. ANYWAY.. if anyone can recommend a good place to send it in the US .. or if anyone is an lG G2 pro I'll likely be spending $40 ish plus shipping. I'd like it just back to stock 5.0 preferably rooted, ideally a nice reliable marshmallow though. >>>>>>> So the details on what I did. Rooted back in '14 .. installed pacman rom(5.0).. used for 2 years as my office phone without issue.. a few days ago I thought I'd get Marshmallow on it .. downloaded a MM rom and a bootstack(which I think was the problem).. after it rebooted it showed the LG boot screen then goes to a black screen and sits indefinitely. I can boot into recovery but it's stock recovery not twrp... just a white screen that says it's gonna delete everything if I continue.. when I do continue it just goes back to that black screen. Also it will boot into download mode but just for a few seconds then proceeds back to that black screen. Computer recognizes it as a bunch of hard drives and wants me to format them. Thats about it.

If anyones interested in trying to repair or can recommend somewhere to send let me know... I'll only send to someone on XDA that's been a member for a while.

thanks

Hi Guys,

as always I want to share with you my italian review of the Xiaomi Mi5S Plus.

[YOUTUBE]A01GI5wLfZs[/YOUTUBE]

PROs:

stunning display 5.7 inch

amazing performance

very good battery life

CONs:

Desing

Sharp edges

No optical stabilization

I bought the sample from the iBuyGou Shop. The transparent case included in the box sucks. But I can't find any good cover at the moment. I don't like the original one.

I update this post with some interesting screenshots ;).

P.S. My sample is the MI5S Plus with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory.

I hope that some users can uploads some benchmarks of the 6GB of RAM version.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Hi All!

I have been looking around these forums for a few days now and can't find anything concrete on rooting my S6 EDGE 6.01 BUILD: G925IDVU3EPGG.

I have found plenty for the previous builds, and am unsure whether they still apply to my build.

Can someone out there provide the info relevant to gaining root on this build please?

Thanks in advance, David.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu

This will root your phone. Doesn't matter about the build it works for g925i 6.0.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Thanks for your quick response.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Knox

I have my credit card stored using a banking app.

I read this method will trip Knox, how will this affect my credit card use?

...and is there a rooting method that does not trip knox?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
You won't be able to use any banking apps. This is the only root available for s6 edge 6.0.1..

Is there a specific reason you want to root?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Mostly to install Adaway and remove some apps I don't want.

I also read I will lose the fingerprint function, which I also use.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Ahh i see.

I dint think you lose fingerprint with cf auto root. My fingerprint scanner works perfect
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Okay, I am at your mercy, I read in a forum elsewhere that a user lost the fingerprint function.

However, you say that yours still works... that's good to hear.

If I decide to go ahead with root, would it be advisable to uninstall the banking app?

Or will the other functions of the Banking app still work?

Do you know of any developer working on root without tripping knox?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Yeah mine works perfect, ive rooted an unrooted many times and never had a problem with it.

It doesnt really matter if you uninstall the app chances are it just wont work after root.

And im not really sure now... there are developers for s6 edge still but ita mainly about custom ROMS. Im not sure if theres any devs still working on root. Have a good luck on here.

One thing to ask.. on settings > about device > software info.. what does it say for android security patch level?

Btw i would have a look at custom ROMS too. CarHD is an excellent rom. Comes with root and loads of extras
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Was 1 August 2016, but my phone has just been updated to 1 September 2016, Build: G925iDVS3EPIF. So I can assume the CF Auto Root will still work?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
I havnt heard of any times it doesn't work. You can always flash unikernel through twrp and install supersu. Theres 2 ways to do it

Have a read on here. Not sure if the september security patch affects anything.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
CF Auto Root looks a lot easier to install than the TWRP method. There are so many threads here about howto install, yet am confused which way to go.

Looks like no matter which I choose, Knox will be tripped even with a custom ROM installed.

All I really want to do is edit the hosts file to circumvent ads.

I have downloaded CarHDRom_V.24.7_4DPGW.zip and will eventually install it. I have read the procedure, but I don't understand why I would flash a stock firmware over my current stock firmware before flashing CarHDRom on to the phone, and the author's grammar is a little hard to comprehend... ergo if you have a link that spells it out in plain english for an old man, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Cf autoroot is the easiest just flash through odin.

Do you need step by step instructions?

For CarHD rom all you do is flash through twrp it is very easy.

You must root first before flashing.

Do you want instructions?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
I find the CF Auto Root option easy as I have used Odin before with an S2 & S4. I am just paranoid with this phone, as to remove the battery from the Edge isn't easy.

I figure I will go the CF Auto Root method first, then CarHD.

My problem with TWRP is I have read some people have had issues when it came to swipe to load, (or words to that affect).

So a clear cut procedure of TWRP and CarHD install, will be greatly appreciated if you have the time.

Thanks again. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Right so first thing, download the autoroot for your g925i

https://autoroot.chainfire.eu

Download TWRP

https://dl.twrp.me/zerolte/

Make sure CarHD 24.7 is saved to your device.

1st thing to do back up your stuff.

Open odin. V3.10.6 works best.

Boot to download mode.

Flash TWRP through odin in AP. Make sure auto reboot and f reset time are checked. Repartition unchecked. Same options for cf autoroot.

Once complete boot into twrp recovery and swipe to make modifications.

Once done you can click back up and backup your stuff, or you can make a full nandroid backup, this will backup absolutely everything including the current rom your using, data, settings. I reccomend this.

Boot back into download mode.

Now flash cf autoroot through AP in odin. Unzip the zip before placing in odin.

Once complete and you have the pass screen phone will reboot. 1st boot can take a few minutes and can bootloop a few times this is normal. Once phone back on, download root checker from playstore just to verify root is done.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck

If root is succesful i would 100% reccomend backing up your efs partition. This will backup your IMEI. Loss of imei is the worst thing and can rarely be revived.

Use partitions backup app to back it up.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions

Once efs is backed up transfer it to a safe place not on the phone, on a memory stick or pc or somewhere safe. If its on the phone you may not be able to get it should you need it. Chances are you wont ever need it but its just to be safe. I see people always on here trying to fix there phone because efs has corrupted.

If all this is fine so far power off phone. Boot back into recovery.

In TWRP click install, navigate to the saved CarHD rom and swipe ro flash.

Once the installer comes on make sure to choose full wipe. 1st time you have to start from fresh. Once prompted choose arter97 kernel for your phone model. Then the installer will do the rest.

Again once its done select reboot device. The 1st boot can take a while, like up to 20-30 minutes as it has a lot to install to the phone. If it sticks on the samsung logo just leave it a while.

After all this you will have CarHD and rooted phone.

Once again make sure you are 100% before trying anything! Everything you do is at your own risk.

Any problems or anything you want to know let me know
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Awsome Thankyou very much!

I don't like the sound of this, what causes corruption of the EFS partition?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
A few things can cause it. Even updating software OTA officially can cause it. Just back it up to be safe mate. I always do but ive never had to use it.

2 years on and I eventually took the plunge with TWRP and Magisk.

Everything works except the credit card stuff... As expected.

I tried Lineage as well, yet to my chagrin every person that called me would get echoes. An intrinsic problem with the S6 Edge running a non standard OS.

Anyway running a debloated factory version of Nougat rooted using Magisk and Ultimate Kernel... The phone now has a battery life that lasts for more than a week if left untouched.

Thanks for your help so long ago.

It's been a long day... Let me start by saying that i had my device rooted for a month without any issues. Last night, i noticed some apps were killing themselves for some reason but i didnt give it much thought. This morning while i was working, i noticed the phone app was crashing and not responding, so i decided to restart it. It ended up getting stuck on the T-Mobile boot screen. I tried to boot it into recovery mode, but it wasn't the normal recovery mode. It didnt give me option to scroll up and down with the volume keys. It's just a black screen with:

RECOVERY BOOTING......

ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

FRP LOCK: OFF

WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

HP SWREV: B3(2,1,1,1,1) K1 S2

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE

It just stays on this screen until i power the device off, and it goes right back into a bootloop. Also, i can't boot into safe mode either.

So, I figured I would try to flash the stock firmware with Odin. I downloaded the firmware and tried to flash it and got this error:

I did some searching and found that i might need to flash a .pit file, so i found the one for my device and put in in Odin. I tried to flash it and got this error:
