Because there is no stock gallery app I have tried several gallery apps on the priv.

But sometimes pictures get corrupt.

Does any one else has this issue?

And what gallery apk do you use on the priv?

Cheers Christian

Last month I got this 2 year old phone. It has 32 GB sd card. I would like to use it as daily driver. My usage mostly is calls, whats app and few other apps. I am looking for a ROM which will be smooth and will provide a Good battery backup.

I have tried several ROMs either they hang too much or provide poor battery life.

Please suggest me a ROM which you have used/using and suitable for my requirement.

Thank you.

I know most of the things to improve battery but I want to know if anyone knows of other ways to improve battery. I have a s7 edge now on G935U. I know rooting can improve battery life but I can't find a root method for my phone on 6.0.1 and I don't want to risk bricking it unless I know for sure it would work.

What I do to Improve battery

Disabled auto sync

Disabled auto update

Disabled all bloatware with package disabler

AOD is off

Never keep WiFi on during sleep

I know about black screen or dark themes

Adjusting brightness

Turning off location

Turning off Bluetooth

Turning off WiFi

But really what else can I really do? I feel like my battery life on my s7 edge sucks. Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
I always logout of facebook, no matter what phone I have, seems to help keep that battery muncher of an app under control. Auto display brightness, pocket detection and dark themes. I get about 22 hours out of my phone on a charge with medium use. 3 to 4 hours screen on.

I always use AoD, have never noticed much of a difference in battery with or without it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Download Package Disabler Pro from the play store.

Use it to disable any system apps you don't use. Focus on the ones that are in "pink text" Also Don't ever use any Facebook apps. (Facebook, FB messenger, FB Page Manager, FB contacts etc) I delete the data from all of them force stop them and disable them first thing. They do a ton of shady stuff in the background that eats your battery and disguises itself as "Android System" on your battery usage page.

I wish Samsung would stop including them in the Firmware all together. If you have to use Facebook just go to the website usering the Samsung browser app with Crystal ad blocking on and block the cookies. Facebook is a shady company even just going to the website from your phone can drastically impact its performance from all of the trackers they install on your device. IMO the entire Facebook app suite should be flagged as spyware by Google.

Next look for AT&T software. There is a tone of it. You can just search for att in the search bar and it will pull it all up. AT&T like to gather a TON of your information and usage stats in the background as well. This too is disguised as "Android System" battery drain even though it is not. Any apps branded AT&T that you don't use get rid of them.

Also in the case of this device, there is No REAL root process. There is an ENG BOOT root, but its super buggy and generally terrible for battery life.

My biggest tip for improving battery life is staying off of large Wifi networks (i.e. school, airports, work) . The constant LAN wakeups will kill your battery.

-Turn off location when not in use (I use tasker to auto turn on/off locstion when bluetooth connects/disconnects in my car)

- i disabled carrierIQ using System Tuner, which seems to have helped (requires root). The EZ Package Disabler Rootless method did not disable carrierIQ for me.

Disabling "bloat" apps didnt really help much with battery life IMHO

I get about 4.5-6hrs SOT. The eng_boot root method is really not as bad as everyone says it is after you apply all the fixes that are floating around. (V15 fix zip, L speed, govtuner)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Poor cell reception or there is an app constantly pinging your location.

If you have Facebook installed and allow it Location access that could be it.

Also sometimes Google Play services gets hung up for the same reason. A reboot will fix the Google issue.

Lastly it could be at&t. If they are working on towers near you it can cause this drain, or if you have not disabled the AT&T apps that track your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Krazie99:
I deleted Facebook and pretty sure turned off location on everything. I unlocked my phone so I don't att apps. I get 2 or 3 bars now I unlocked my phone so it's not terrible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] C0derbear:
FWIW, you can use the Edge "My Places" panel to automatically manage wifi on/off based upon geolocation or bluetooth, and some other ways. I use it to automatically force wifi off whenever in my car (because of bluetooth connect) or at work (via gofence, no wifi available), and that helps. It's also standard on the GS7edge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] disturbd1:
The battery life has very little to do with Facebook or Messenger if you have the settings for the apps tweaked to not notify on every little thing. Also, you can limit background data inherently in Android, thus using less power to get real-time updates from either app. You can limit Messenger's notifications, including eliminating chat heads, etc. If Facebook were solely responsible for poor battery life on this device, it'd be the same on very device. That just isn't the case. It definitely is a resource hog as-is, but not if you contain it.

That said, I'm a big advocate for limiting background data for any social networking apps: FB, Snapchat, etc. I would rather have to open an app to see what I've missed than have dozens of notifications throughout my day. I save real-time updates for things like email, Amazon, and the like. You can also set wifi settings to not be so aggressive (I believe mentioned earlier in the thread). Beyond that....root the device and set up custom power settings and profiles for CPU, etc. Your performance will potentially suffer for it, and the eng kernel has the worst battery life of any I've ever used, but there are ways to fine tune it that you simply can't achieve without root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Have you actually done any research into what the Facebook app does? It's a system app, doing the thing you mention above without root will not effect its ability to use your data and drain your battery. It's not about the core features of the app its about all the spying it does. FB Messenger keeps a log of every messenger you send whether or not it's sent through the APP or not.

Facebook installs trackers on your phone that read your credit card and banking apps data to track purchases. It also pings your location to know where you shop and what you eat. Then feeds you ads related to it and tells the companies you bought something because you saw the ad. All of that data is bundled up and sent out to be resold to any company that wants it.

Any phone iPhone or Android that comes with the Facebook apps pre installed on it the apps are the main culprit of battery drain and random data usage. There is even a lawsuit filed in California against Facebook saying it is illegally using both data and power and disguising it as normal system usage so end users don't know that it is their apps to blame.

If you know anyone who works in advertising at a fortune 500 company that has bought ads for Facebook they will tell you the same. And if you do any real research into Facebook apps programing you will see it is true. Their are MANY people who have tore apart the apks to find exactly what I am talking about and shared it all over the Internet. Facebook spends millions with PR companies to keep it quiet, because the only way for them to monetize their app is to offer highly targeted ads and purchase tracking.

As for rooting the S7E its garbage, not what I consider REAL root and a waste of time. Also it kills the performance of the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Particularly this app.

Trust me if you like your battery life and/or your privacy disabling Facebook is the most important thing to do to any device you get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] disturbd1:
Facebook is not a system app when it's obtained through the Play Store. Here's a screen shot illustrating that; I have a backup of the system app, but it is not currently installed. I've installed from the Play Store, and it is not installed as a system app. Permissions are in my full control, and even if I weren't rooted, I could disable the default Facebook app and install anew from the Play Store.

You made quite a few claims with zero citations, criticizing me for not knowing the depth of the Facebook advertising conspiracy. Facebook is pretty transparent about what it does with your data and who it is allowed to share that with. It's all accessible for the curious minds of conspiracy theorists. All of which derails the topic of this thread, which is battery life.

Clearly, you don't use Facebook in the form of an app, and I do. That said, I can attest to having considerably better battery life when I tweak the permissions, data consumption allowance, and notification settings.

Let's keep this thread on topic :svetius:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] C0derbear:
On some GS7E variants it comes as a pre-installed system app (AT&T for example) and you can't undo that w/o root.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] drawn2magik:
Disable Facebook. That alone gives the biggest savings. It is amazing how much more FB app, whether preinstalled or playstore app, drains when compared to other social apps such as Snapchat, Instagram, FB Messenger, MeetMe, Tagged, etc. Also the hit on data is very noticeable. Almost twice the data vs each of the other Social Apps. Another thing that helps greatly is a good unbloated launcher such as Smart Launcher 3 or Arrow or any other if its mature and not full of feature bloat. Email is the other big one. Forward other accounts to one such as Outlook using stock client and still retain push. Also Adguard to be the sweet cherry on top. Browsing is flawless now with browser or in apps since ads and their background retrieval are seriously minimized to the point where I can almost forget I'm not rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Krazie99:
How can I fix these draining? I disabled all bloatware with package disabler and even PC. What should I do to save more battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MWTTRON:
I turned off Notifications and that made major improvements in battery life!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rbedell:
Maybe disabled something you shouldn't have. It's not the most advanced feature. You should only disable stuff you know. I used the bloat ware feature once and it disabled something related to MMS.

Also you could have a corrupt file on your filesystem SD card or internal storage.

Hi,

My Samsung phone got a little bit of water through the charging port. Initially it was not getting charged, but after a day it started to charge. It was working normally, but now after 2 days there are no signals in the phone. While making any calls it shows the "Mobile network not available error" and Diagnostic codes are not working as well. The phone's IMEI number is not lost because it is still showing the IMEI in the "About phone" menu. It just shows the SIM card status as "out of service".

How can I check which part has been damaged so I can get it repaired. Or could the radio be damaged? How can I test the radio?

Could it be a software issue, can rooting and installing a custom rom fix the issue?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,

I did a little bit of a search and followed most of the instructions. I just can't seem to get any audio player (Win Media, CorePlayer, Audio Manager) to play through my bt620s headphones. They work fine with my mac and all the controls work with my tilt. It's pretty frustrating. I've re-paired the phones and tried just selecting stereo headphones in the bluetooth settings panel.

I haven't installed the audio-switch cab yet.

Hi everyone. I have a Hipstreet Spectrum that currently will not boot.

At one point last year, I attempted to install google play onto what is essentially a Chinese tablet (hipstreet) and messed something up. I can't recall what, but I do know it was just a matter of installing apks - I didn't try to flash the device - was surprised I was able to soft-brick it

The tablet will attempt to boot several times, and then auto-enter the recovery menu. Boot does not make it past the Hipstreet Spectrum splash screen

From the recovery menu, I have options to reboot, apply update from adb, apply update from sdcard, wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe media.

I'm asked to select an option using the volume keys, of which this particular tablet has none.

Using adb, I do not have access to /system or /data (then are listed as empty).

Using adb, I do not have access to shell as /system/bin does not exist

Using adb, I am unable to mount /system as I get error code 0 ("remount failed: Success")

I can't send volume input event codes from adb as I do not has access to the shell

The tablet has a reset button you can press with a paperclip - doesn't fix the boot issue

adb reboot bootloader seems to turn the device in a charging state

adb reboot-bootloader seems to turn the device in a charging state

adb reboot fastboot seems to turn the device in a charging state

When the device is in this "charging state" I need to hold the power button down to turn it off. When I press it again it will attempt to boot

My PC does not see the device when it is in this "charging state"

By "charging state" I mean that the device display turns off, then shows the "battery filling" animation.

I opened up the tablet and there are no hidden volume buttons

Was unable to find a way to read any sort of boot logs - no even sure where the device is in the boot process

Any ideas on what I can try next?

Hello to all,

I tried to reflash my P8 Lite to covert from single to double sim, but something went wrong. My device have always the screen black, also when I reboot in bootloader mode. The connection throught fastboot in bootloader mode is available.

I flashed several official rom downloaded from Huwei site, but or the device reboot continuously or the device start but the screen shows only some vertical line (like a vga screen out of frequency).

Via fastboot I tried to erase the partitions but I received always this error: "remote not allowed"

Is this a revertible condition?

I executed many research on google, is it possible that the boot logo and the boot animation have been deleted and not restored during the rom flash?

When I flash an Android Rom (system, boot, cust, recovery) all the file on the device are clean or there are other area that are not touched? I saw looking the content of the P8Lite stock image that there are other types of images inside, like (vendor.img, fastboot.img, ecc) but i cannot flash to the device via fastboot.

In these days I tried to restore many stock rom, via fastboot and also via the "local update" but my screen is always black or flickering. The phone is fully functional, the touch is working and I can see the screen making a print screen.
