[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Thib_12:
Hi

i just recieved a brand new xiaomi mi5 yesterday and he is running on a FAKE rom 7.2.8.0.0 chinese stable. I just want to change this ****ty rom to the global stable rom but my phone is bootloader lock.

I try the updater but the phone show a running circle and then reboot to the wrong rom.

Then i try the mipc suite in English and Chinese but i have a read warning showing something like "unable to discover your device".

I make my demand to unlock my phone but i receive no confirmation message.

I'm tired to read all this topic with no real solution.

I read a tuto about fastboot recovery but i don't know if i can use it with my lock phone. I m not a geek and i don't want to break my new phone just to change a rom.

Somebody have an EASY way to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Thibault

Have you followed this manual on installing developer version?

http://en.miui.com/a-232.html

That should work.

You cannot flash from recovery if the phone is still locked.

About unlocking:

Did you request the unlock permission and got an SMS with code?

Or did you request the code, but never got the SMS with the code?

If you got the code, i assume that you did not receive an SMS with the text that you have permission to unlock?

Did you fill the form in with the SMS code that you got? Only the you get the SMS with permissions.

If you did not get any code in your SMS, then it might be a account problem (that was with me the case).

Make a new MIUI.com account.

Log this account in on you phone via developer options.

Then request again the code on the site. If that does not work, wait 24 hours and try again. Maybe you have to repeat this 2 or 3 days after each other. I had to try 2 times and the second time (after 24 hours) i got the SMS.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Thib_12:
I try to install developer version but the phone shut down and then reboot on the previous version so the vendor hacky 7.2.8.0.0.

I submit for the unlock permission this morning and i recieved the first sms code so the verification one. So i was able to send my request but i haven't got any answer yet.

Do you know any way to bypass this bootable lock and install the global international rom?

Maybe i can install the global via EDL mode but i need help for the steps to follow.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] etoy:
if you've got a spare cheap usb type c cable you can cut and solder it to make and EDL cable (look for guides online) to put locked phone in EDL mode then safely flash official miui with MiFlash and just then unlock it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] elot01:
If you have submitted the code to the website to request permissions, then you will get the permissions within 24 hours in most cases ( i got it in 3 hours).

After that, you can unlock the normal way as described on the MIUI.com forum.

There was also a thread somewhere (miui.com i think) about a tool that should work, but after several people trying it was a hoax. You still had to unlock.

Also there is a way to change an USB cable, to put the phone in a special mode, but i did not have to use that.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Thib_12:
ok thanks for your help... I waited for the unlock permission and then i use the fastboot method to flash the latest global rom.

If you are in the same situation and you don't recieve the permission i find a tuto who can help some of you, put i can't post the link so just google androidbrick mi5 and you will find the page.

Having read a few reviews, it looks like we can expect some good battery life and SOT with the 3T compared to the 3.

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Chipaton:
That is why a 1080p doesn't bother me at all. I'll take that extra performance and battery life at the expense of a worse VR experience.

I always wonder how they make these tests, when i play a video on lowest brightness with no apps installed it doesn't lasts longer than 7 hours lol
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] matrixzone:
Is this better than OnePlus 3?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelhealy:
OP2 owner here, I jumped to a Moto G4 Play for size and battery reasons, its working quite well once I bought a better quality 64GB SD card.

The OP3 wasnt enough of a benefit to me to upgrade, but the battery life of the OP3T looks interesting. Looking for more real world battery tests.

Given the SD821 is so similar to the SD820 and 3400mah is only 13% more than the 3000mah, sure most of this much better battery life is software changes?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] someone0:
From what I understand, there is a few key different from SD820 to SD821. and not just speed but power/thermal efficiency as well. Many people look at benchmark to see how well the CPU/GPU are under the same condition. But that's not a full story. Sure Benchmark do stress the CPU and GPU, but imagine you are running a game. Even if the game is not as stressful as a benchmark software, but benchmarking only run for a few minutes but you maybe running game for half an hour to an hour. What happened then? For the SD820, many of the power get transfer into heat, while on SD821 because it's more efficient and also in the case of OP3T, it has slightly larger battery capacity, this lead to the phone running cooler and last longer. You can see on Engadget that it can run loop of video six hours longer than OP3 even though it only has 13% more battery capacity. I would also speculate that this means playing game over a period of time, it would be less jumpy compared to OP3 as well.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelhealy:
So are you claiming that as real-world load doesn't stress the hardware to its maximum, if you make the hardware faster it runs slower so more efficient?

The benchmarks coming out seem unbelievably better. Wondering why and also looking for more benchmarks.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] someone0:
Not exactly, Benchmark only tell what the CPU/GPU is capable off at peak, but it's not a real world scenario. What matter to us is what would the phone do in the real world. Even what Engadget did for doing a video marathon test is not a real world scenario, but I wouldn't be surprise if a parent lent their child a phone to watch YouTube/cartoon for half a day on a long commute . Combining all these test result would point us to the right direction as to what would happened in the situation that suit us best.

In my opinion, if you are not stressing your phone all the time, in term of battery life it probably not matter between OP3 and OP3T. Seriously, at the end of the day you would have like half the battery left, most of you can plug it in the car or at home. If all you do is web surfing all day, then battery different will not be much, as most of the power will be consumed largely by screen and wifi/cell. But for some something that do stress the phone quite a bit to a lot, like watching video and playing games for a period of time, then the difference in battery life would be more significant, and that would be due to both the difference in battery and SoC (not just battery alone).
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
In my first two battery cycles with OP3T (from 100% to 8% (1st run) / 11% (2nd run) I got 6-6,5 hours of SOT. Love it. The only thing that could be better is the speed in which the home button reacts when tapping home button to get out of an application to home screen (before I had iphone 7 from which I upgraded to OP3T (definitely an upgrade :)..android in general is just way more enjoyable!!!), I had xiaomi mi5 which had way more responsive capacitive home button in regard of how fast it reacts..here its a little bit slow, but I am probably just too picky).

Mostly these apps throughout the whole day for random period of time:

1. Whatsapp;

2. Chrome;

3. Youtube;

4. Gmail;

5. Spotify (streaming to car audio system through BT for ~1 hour in each cycle)

Throughout those 2 cycles I was constantly on moble data (4G) (never on WIFI), Sync: ON, location - OFF, Bluetooth - on (no wifi). Very impressed with OxygenOS 3.5.1. and OP3T so far.

My last 4 phones -> nexus 5x, galaxy s6, xiaomi mi5, iphone 7..
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
Do you have anything setup for home button double press shortcut? In general, setting a short cut for home button double press slows down home button response....
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
Thanks man. You were right. I changed double tap action to none and it's as responsive as it needs be. :good: It actually makes so much sense - in order to enable double tap function on the same button which was a set action on single tap you have include a time gap in order to allow the 2nd tap to occur! Considering that there are still 2 more capacitive buttons which include double tap/long press actions I don't see it as a major flaw.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
Yes, software has to wait to see if it is single tap or double tap..but if you disable it, it always going to perform single tap action without waiting
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
Right, that makes sense.

Btw, (1) do you know if its possible to remove vibration when double tapping to wake the device and (2) what app if any do you use to edit led notifications ? Whatsapp and textra allows you to chose the color of led notificaton, but for instance, Gmail app, Default Dialer app does not have the option to change color of led notification.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
Light flow is probably going to be the best app to change the color of the led.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] weroliera:
How do you know it runs cooler?

According to technobuffalo it gets more warm than the 3
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] someone0:
According to XDA article here,
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
On previous posts is mentioned that setting the home button to launch a shortcut or to open an app make it laggy......is this correct?....

I'm planning to order op3t but this makes me worrying a little bit.....
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] 93drago:
Setting an action for double tap will make it a little less responsive because after first tap it will have a short time gate in which it will wait for that possible second tap.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
It is with every phone...if you setup some short cut for home button double press, home button response will be little delayed...
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
3rd cycle (from 11-100%) was pretty much the same. 6hours of sot easy maybe even more. Today no car audio (spotify through bt).

I think there might be something wrong with the wakelocks.. in that case phone doesn't go to idle/deepsleep when screen off.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nhshah7:
I probably should have posted here instead of in the Q&A... Ever since the OOS 4.0 update, I've had pretty crappy idle battery life, in that it drains 1-3%/hr even overnight, which gets pretty infuriating as it didn't used to do this. I'm trying to figure out what's draining my battery so much. Someone earlier in this thread linked to an article that says to turn off Google Backup as that could be constantly draining battery trying to sync. I just did that, so we'll see what happens. The other thought I have is that one of my IMAP or exchange accounts is causing trouble, but this wasn't an issue in December. Here's a link to my other post (sorry, didn't mean to cross-post...) and here are my screenshots from yesterday or the day before:

Afterall 8hr SOT frome my side too.....its the power of Naugat....Previously on stock 3.5.3 and RR 7.1.1, I reached 5hr SOT not now i m at official android N with root and unlock bootloader

My usage.. Alot of what'sap... Google Chrome... Youtube for few videos... Calling... I m happy now...what I changed is I fresh installed the N and removed unwanted apps which I don't use

Every single phone has some users complaining of battery issues and some users are perfectly fine. It's not the phones it's the users settings and apps that is the problem. No coincidence its the same phone and the same users complaining of battery issues. You guys with bad battery should really stop blaming the phone and manufacturer for the problem.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nhshah7:
I hooked up my phone to ADB and looked at my CPU use. Turns out textra and swiftkey were constantly eating up CPU time. Uninstalled and battery life is instantly better. Went from 6-8% drain in 5 hours to 2% last night. #winning

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Isus <3:
Its not vague, i would give more info if I had any, i have no idea whats causing the drain.. I lose around 10% of battery during night and on my S6 which has 30% less battery capacity loses 2%

I lose around 40% of battery while phone is idle if it had normal drain like s6 i would lose 25% and would extend my SOT from 5 hours to atleast 6
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] dazed1:
What kind of BS is this? i only got google apps, and viber, and i still got 15% android system and phone idle, i tried,

Turning off pocket mode

Disable apps automatically with higher battery usage

Bluetooth off

Data off

NFC off

Wi-Fi scanning off

Location off

Off screen gestures off

Ceared google services cache/data

Cleared cache from recovery

Did 3 factory resets

And you want em to tell is user error? how about NO!?

How can it be user error, when i used the exact same apps on 6.0 and battery life was fantastic!?

and for the end, eat your words

I am also facing the battery drain problem after upgrade to 4.0.1.

I have great battery performance before (~7hr SOT), but now only got 5-6 hr SOT.

I check the battery usage in system, it shows chrome, android OS, clash royale use the most of the battery. But i only use not more than 5 min of chrome to browsing. In 3.5.4, normally the screen spend most of the battery. I dont know what is happened, will try to wipe cache to check it again.

And in 3.5.4, it did 0% drain during sleep (no wifi and 4g), and now it got around 3% drain. So sad about that.

Although, 5-6 hr SOT is still OK, but i know something go wrong with my phone, so i want to fix it.

Answered in G4P forum.

However time has moved on. The G4P advantage was cheap reliable with good battery life and replaceable battery for a compact answer to a long day and it got downy to $99 so add battery for $17 and 64GB for $20 for a good package.

The SD835 now being shipped is what I expect to be in the OnePlus4 (or 5 for superstitious Chinese reasons) which I expect now in a few months.

The SD835 being more power efficient and smaller will extend battery life and allow a bigger battery in the same size phone.

My concern is simple profit taking by OnePlus. It will be a $529 type price the way each handset went up from the $349 Opo.

Can it be because of ambient notifications are on? Is it draining much battery?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
How is that bad? :D on its way to get ~6,5hours of SOT, which is fine if not great with normal usage.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nhshah7:

My battery life is not very constant, today after 20min SOT (on chrome mostly in the bus) it went down to 92% and I took if directly from charger [MENTION=1412615]100%[/MENTION]

I will try to monitor somehow what is draining my battery. I have WiFi/4G always on but 4G is only when I am out of work or home so not really much. Scanning/smart switcher is all OFF. GPS is on but based on battery graph it is not used much, just for bus timetable checkup and weather every now and then. So sometimes for first 10% I have more than 1h SOT and sometimes like now 30min.

Do you have aggressive doze turned on?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
?

Unfortunately, I am starting to get to the same conclusion in respect of battery life on Nougat based Oxygen OS -

inconsistent.

I would say that after great battery life on OOS 3.5.3., I am getting very inconsistent and sometimes even awful battery life results (bellow 4hours of sot) on OOS 4.0.0-4.0.2..

I have tested all of the official OOS versions (from OOS 3.5.1. to 3.5.4, + OOS 4.0.0. - 4.0.2.) with almost identical usage pattern, even in similar physical locations :D, so that the results and my conclusions would be objectively comparable).

My SOT results with following usage pattern -> a lot of (1) Chrome, (2) WhatsApp, (3) Spotify (+in car bluetooth when driving), (4) never ever on WiFi, (5) google sync (always on)) are :

1. with OOS 3.5.1.,3.5.2. and 3.5.3. --> ~ SOT of 6.5-8h;

2. with OOS 3.5.4. - SOT of 4,5-5h of SOT;

3. with OOS 4.0.0., 4.0.1. and 4.0.2. --> SOT of 3.5-6.5h of SOT

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
I've been testing the aggressive doze mode the last couple of days and am getting really weird results. Aggressive doze on, less than 3 and a half hours of sot and no more than 10 hours total on battery. Drains at about 8% an hour. Aggressive doze off, drain is at less than 1% an hour, I get up at 4 am, and go to bed at 10 pm, and usually have 50% or above on battery, and 4 hours or more sot. Just don't understand it.

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nhshah7:
That's really odd. I haven't had aggressive doze off for a few weeks now but I think I get worse battery life with it off. Maybe something is draining your battery with it on and that app needs to be excluded from aggressive doze. Try hooking up to ADB and running the top command (see the link in my signature). That may help figure out what's causing the issue.

Anyone here use gsam battery stats WITHOUT root? I don't know why, but yesterday, for no reason whatsoever, my Gsam lost access to the battery_stats permission I granted via ADB.

I tried yesterday morning, unsuccessfully, to re-grant the permission. It didn't work. I uninstalled and going to reinstall, will try again when I get home and update the post if it works.
