i believe that you have to charge your battery all the way full then use all the power until it dies then you can charge it back again

but not sure

This is the exact opposite of what this article says.

conditioning the battery the first time you get a new phone also helps, alot of us just charge for a while them use it. all my phones i let them charge for a full 24 hours right after i get them

Ehh, doesn't the charger uncharge when the battery is full? Like a safety thing?
[General Topics] shadow7582:
Some articles say that one battery life cycle is used up everytime when a full charge is done. Other articles say that one battery life cycle is used each the battery is connected to the charger.

I have not seen one article that shows the truth with facts.

No offence but I always found this to be stupid reasoning.

What if you leave home with a quarter full battery and you get caught in the middle of a natural disaster (earthquake as an extreme example) and need to keep in contact with rescuers after being stuck in a building for 2 days?

Personally, I always charge my phone/laptop whenever convenient.
[General Topics] Austin112:
The only problem that your battery lasts only for 6 hours is due to too much charging...So when you will buy a new battery then make sure that only charge your battery when it will remain only 10%...And try to charge your battery with phone switched off..
[General Topics] xaccers:
Charge little and often, try to avoid deep discharge/charge cycles.

Back in the days of NiCd batteries there was the posibility of memory effect where if you didn't do a discharge/charge the battery wouldn't hold as much charge.

NiMH batteries do not suffer this, but discharge/charge cycles were required because when they started being used very few people had smart chargers so had to discharge to be able to time when to stop without overcharging, and also due to confused information pulled over from NiCds.

Top up charges are better for them too.

Lithium batteries also don't have memory effect, and are better off with top up charges.

Ask yourself this:

What would stress the battery more; running 1A through it for 10 minutes or 1 hour?

Also, as the battery discharges, its voltage drops so the current drain has to increase to compensate, discharging the battery even quicker (remember how capacity graphs drop off quickly?)

Say your phone needs 2W to run, with a 4v battery that's a drain of 500mA (P=VI)

When the battery has dropped to 3.5v then to produce 2W it takes approx 571mA.

batt problem

how to keep my batt good?
[General Topics] big_bake:
I've always just charged my phones overnight while I sleep. Never seen ill effects. If I don't make it home that night my phone still lasts through the next day.

It's not like that battery is irreplaceable. Go get a new one if your battery is nearing the end of it's life. By then you would have probably moved on to a new phone.
[General Topics] LivetheRiceLife:
skimmed a few parts, but thanks for the read mate, learned tons.
[General Topics] benson666:
as others allready mentioned, there are many different suggestions how to take care of the battery. I usualy reload the baterry only if the capacity is <= 5%, without unpluging it before it reaches 100%.

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jnadke:
Sprint just filed a refund of $400 for the 2 year contract price of our Note 7 and reset upgrade eligibility despite it being eligible.

I was hoping to hold out for S7 Edge price drop or the S8. I'd prefer not to downgrade to a year old phone at this point.

The $75 credit is enticing, but the S7 Edge is still $299 on 2-year contract so it's a token gesture. I'll just wait for the S8.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] konnector:
The text I got from Sprint today said beginning Jan 8 the Samsung death update will start being pushed out. The update will stop the ability to charge the phone and remove mobile functionality.

PROCESS A FULL REFUND FOR ANY SCREEN PROTECTORS $10.00 EACH AND PHONE CASES $25.00 EACH PHONE REFUND 849.99. THEY'LL SEND YOU A BOX THEN A CHECK FOR THE TOTAL.. DONE PAY SPRINT BACK THE DIFFERENCE OR KEEP THE MONEY IF PAID IT IN FULL... IM DONE.. I use my phone exclusively for my lively hood..

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] blawkhawk1w:
Confirmed, this appears to work. I just got off the phone with Samsung. I was told that they are sending a shipping box and I have to return the phone. 10 - 14 days after they receive it, I will get a check for the full amount plus $35 (case & screen protector). i still have my Note 5 so that should get me by until the S8 comes out.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berttheturt:
I flashed cyanogenmod onto my Fire tablet 7 gen 5 and it all worked fine. However I decided to remove the trebuchet launcher to save space and it caused random crashes so I tried to use flashfire to reflash cyanogenmod and my device will get stuck on the boot screen(I left it on for a solid 15-20 minutes). The method I used to flash doesn't use TWRP and I couldn't get supertool to install TWRP(it would fail everytime) so I linked the picture of the recovery my device is using. Is my device bricked or is there any way to fix my device?

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Obsolete guidance. And no - you can't install TWRP on this device.

Reinstall FireOS 5.3.1 following guidance in this thread/video. Then return to this forum for instructions on how to root 5.3.1 and properly prepare device for the installation of a custom ROM. Once you have CM 12.1 working again think twice about removing trebuchet (or any other system component) even if you prefer a different launcher. Those pesky system apps serve a purpose including fallbacks should something go wrong with user installed alternatives. If desired you can move just about any app (including most system apps) to a suitable SD card using Link2SD or similar tool that leverages symbolic links. The native Apps2SD functionally is a crap-shoot at best for reasons that are beyond the scope of this post.

As an aside, if you want GAaps don't go for anything larger than mini (nano recommended) due to limited free space in the system partition - regardless of ROM.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadches:
hi everybody

I wanna buy V10. In our country we have H960A model

Can I root this model?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyvr1:
And which country is that and what H960A are sold there? If it is France or a French H960A: those can't be rooted. If you country is UAE or you buy a UAE H960A there might be a possibility to root it by flashing the European V20 firmware.

European H960A can be rooted after flashing a V20 firmware (latest is V20c)
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadches:
I'm in Iran and we have middle east model here

so If I flash European H960A V20c,can I root?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consolevn:
I have LG V10 H960A, which appears to be European Version (no simlock). I rooted the phone running MM. Here are the steps:

- Request Bootloader Unlock key file from LG and unlock the bootloader by entering fastboot mode. Please be aware that your phone will be COMPLETELY WIPED.

- Install TWRP Unofficial version on this forum

- Install SuperSu right after

The detail steps and files please search in XDA.

However, I found no benefit of being root, an annoying message about phone security will appear every time the phone boots. In addition, rooted phone cannot use some direct payment softwares. There are not much bloatwares on the original firmwares, and you can disable them.

If you want to unroot and relock the bootloader, it is possible. The phone will be COMPLETELY WIPED again. And it will probably enter a bootloop mode (boot fails to verification, XXX missing). However, KDZ again the same version of Android before unlock will solve the problem.

The LG Backup function works very well, so Titanium backup makes less sense. Phone runs more stable without root.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android10d:
My honor 7 is stuck in bootloop I've tried to enter recovery mode but I can't turn the phone off as it keeps restarting and getting stuck at the same screen. The screen gets stuck on "Honor Powered By Android" and doesn't get past this. The phone is rooted but by an app from the play store as I didn't know how to root it through the computer. The screen has been stuck in bootloop before but after couple of restarts it has been getting past but this time I can't seem to turn it off or get past this. Only time i can get it to turn off is when the battery is dead but even then it will load right back to that same screen without me doing anything. Anyone that could help would appreciate it thanks.

Samsung confirms it will render the US Note 7 completely useless with next update

Samsung Excerpt:

"

To further increase participation, a software update will be released starting on December 19th that will prevent U.S. Galaxy Note7 devices from charging and will eliminate their ability to work as mobile devices.

"

Why is Samsung pushing so hard?

What else is motivating them?

It can't just be safety? Money perhaps?

Do they need to harvest Note 7's parts?

Are they trying to rush getting all N7's before MWC and the S8 (with rumored full screen) reveal?

Are they trying to prevent return trade ups to new 2017 devices (keeping the same installment)?

This push to gimp is insane! Apple would never do it. So, what is truly motivating Samsung?

This might be it unless a Root solution is found, yes?

Looks like this is not going to affect Verizon though:

However, Verizon Communications Inc said it would not take part in the update because of the added risk this could pose to Galaxy Note7 users that do not have another device to switch to. (Reporting by Laharee Chatterjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)

Even still this is pretty low of them. My thinking is they are using these for parts for the next version. They probably know exactly what caused it and it is such an easy cost effective fix, they simply just need to make a few adjustments.

I know no one that has had any issue... Are there any persons out there that have had a indication that there phone was going to overheat? Or something that suggested that it was not working properly at any time? Both I had seemed fine. I think it is a deal that they made with Apple, Inc. The news recently was that they did not infringe... my thoughts were this was because Sammy took a financial hit, which sent a lot of people to Apple. The new Apple phone came out just as the phone BS with the Note 7 got started.

I have all updates blocked until they possibly do an IMEI ban. I honestly feel this has less to do with a safety precaution now. Now just imagine all of us who have the phone and haven't had any problem keeping the phone for a full year with no problems. What will the other millions of Supporters feel who returned their phone for safety reasons? They would feel pissed off. I know I would be pissed off to see someone still using a phone that had zero overheating issues and nothing was done to them. I'm sure safety does play a small role, but it's more so not pissing off millions who had a phone that wasn't effected.

If I do give mines up I planned on waiting until the S8 comes out. Even though I hate Galaxy S devices. They're like the test mules for Samsung. Would rather have a Note.
