[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] R55770:
Hi all,

I've been getting less than 3 hours of screen on time on Open Beta 9. No root, fully stock. I've got Bluetooth on for my Moto 360 and location on battery saving, but I still get horrible battery life. I've tried resetting many times. I get around 3 hours SOT on custom roms, but not much improvement in general.

I have attached screenshots.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nine5raptor:
Click on the battery graph and see if it ever sleeping. Also try wake lock detector to see what's causing the drain.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Android System seems to be topping the list with 30%. Normally the screen should be on top or some other app. Install BetterBatteryStats and check what is actually draining the battery. Go through the BBS thread here on XDA for possible solutions.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] R55770:
Hey,

Thanks for the quick replies. I'll root with Freedom OS and get back to you.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Battery drain seems to be fixed with OB10. Thanks for the help.

I downloaded and installed this from this site, ran the cab on the phone and installed okay,

HOWEVER,

I can't find it. Anywhere. Or figure out what to do to backup! I just want to give someone the ability to restore the phone back up from a backup (I'm selling it soon).

Anyone help? Greg.

Thanks for that. I don't really want to pay for a 2nd software, just to sell it. I have the htc one installed but I don't know how it works as it didn't install a program icon - perhaps I should uninstall it and go looking for something else that is availabe/freeware?

Thanks I'll give that a try. I guess also with SPB, I have been thinking if I install it and then use it to do a backup to an .exe file, it doesn't matter if the next person doesn't subscribe to spb as the original backup file with the .exe is available to restore the device to the state I sold it in, right?

Hi,

I recently used HTC Backup to backup all my contacts, files etc. But when restoring this is what happens.

For 10 seconds it begins to restore, then it switches to the Today Screen, and then there is nothing on the today screen, and on the "Tools" menu there is nothing. Also on start menu half items are missing

Why do you want to get off EU rom?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Thorin78:
If I can get gapps working on the stable rom, the bloatware I can remove mostly, I would prefer to be on the stable rom. I've got a few things that are not working for me on the eu rom that I thought was working for me on the stable rom.

I can't share contacts via hangouts when I use the share option in contacts. Hangouts does work on share for everything else.

Bluetooth trusted device unlock isn't working for me and I can't figure it out. It also may have something to do w/ my company's apps that create more restrictive security. I should probably uninstall my company's apps and see if that's true.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] yakuzlin:
Thanks for the response. Makes sense, question for you/all: What is the best method to get rid of bloatware/Chinese apps from stable ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] omniphil:
The Google Play Store throttling issue was fixed by flashing this (8.0.12) over my existing 8.0.11, so that right there is worth the trouble of flashing!

navigation bar color

Does anyone know how to change the navigation bar color from annoyingly bright/white to dark/black?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] KOLIOSIS:
I'm using the app EmojiColor NavBar from the Google Play Store.

Pick your nav bar of choice (I use the 1st one).

Then,adjust the color to black,or, whatever you want.

Once you're done,make sure to lock it in your recents, otherwise, Xiaomi's aggressive RAM management will kill it.

You're not gonna see the color selected (Black) in every single application,but, it's a lot better than seeing a white nav bar throughout.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Apo11on:
Thanks for the tip, but I wasn't actually looking for an app to replace the existing nav bar with a diffrent one - I already have an app like that. I'm interested in modifying the color of the existing, stock nav bar. There is gotta be a settings file, some xml schema or another config file that control it. I was hoping a MIUI Rom dev or a themes creator might know.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kamenrider:
If you have xposed installed you can use xblast tools module. Under the Navigation Bar tweaks there's an option to change the background color.

Hope that helps.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] KOLIOSIS:
THX,this is what I've been looking for,just wanted a black navigation bar, nothing fancy.

IDK what Xiaomi was thinking,going with a white navigation bar, they'll probably go with a black nav bar on the white MIX,LOL....
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Apo11on:
thanks a bunch - this is exactly what I was looking for. Great module, and it has plenty of other useful tweaks as well
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kamenrider:
Glad you guys found this module useful...

I was lucky enough to stumble upon it while looking for xposed modules that play nicely with MIUI...and xblast is thankfully one of them! :good:

Thank you guys was looking for something like this too!!!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dannejanne:
Anyone else get occasionall touchscreen sensitivity issues? Sometimes a swipe is registered as tap, though not often. Other times presses get registered while my finger hardly even touches the screen. Seen this behaviour on other phones and it's been hardware issue on one phone (Lumia 1520) and software on another (S7 Edge). It doesn't happen so frequently that it really bothers me thankfully.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] omniphil:
I have certainly noticed this as well. I notice it mostly with the notifications and trying to swipe them to the right and it takes me several tries..

It's the same on every rom i've tried so far.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dannejanne:
Interesting. Might be hardware then. Luckily it does not happen too frequently. But still a bit annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] omniphil:
It happens pretty often for me, but it seems its only in the same spots that I notice it anyways.

Notification swiping is always a problem and the first time I use Word with Friends I will drag a letter up from the bottom of the screen and it will drop itself half way up the screen when I didn't lift my finger.

The screen in general does feel overly sensitive.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dannejanne:
Yes I have noticed that behaviour too sometimes. But also that taps don't get registered at all untill the third tap. So sometimes the touch is too sensitive and other times completely the opposite. Not a good sign it's on different ROM's. Unless they all need an official software fix. Hoping for future firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Apo11on:
I share those exact observations. Hopefully, there will be a software fix for it in the upcoming Nougat official rom.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dannejanne:
Considering how rare this unit is I guess this is a normal issue then.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ruffnexx_uk:
Yes...I thought it was in my head, sometimes, albeit infrequently taps dont register.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] omniphil:
I've seen that new kernel with "Touch Boost" is that designed to help this situation?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dannejanne:
No. I think Touch Boost is a kernel setting for ramping up the frequency of the processor quickly to an applied value so it gets more responsive upon touch.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] omniphil:
Ah, maybe that will help, lol...

I was this answered.Can I just flash the stable ROM via twrp
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] morgs640:
Either should work, fastboot will return to complete stock, locked bootloader and all. In my experience you need to re-lock bootloader before using miflash with fastboot oem lock command. Eu rom is better though imo.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Apo11on:
Last night damn phone downloaded and installed MIUI 8.2.* update without my permission. It f*cked up everything - unrooted, most apps dont work and half won't even open. That automatic update wiped TWRP as well. I woke up with annoying bright colors I disabled, to the sounds of wirless charger connecting/disconnecting in an infinite loop, which I also disabled using Xposed module. Xposed framework was broken as well.

After assessing the damages I booted into bootloader, launched fastboot, reflashed twrp, restored latest nandroid, booted into system and disabled automatic updates. Don't let this happen to you - if Xiaomi hasn't screwed you over like it did to me - disable automatic updates in settings ASAP.

Also, hoping someone can create a flashable zip of rooted version of this update, which is debloated from all the Mi crapware and doesnt break Xposed framework.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Youssefmans:
Hey Everyone,

So Guys , I'm about to buy the Axon 7 A2017 the Chinese variant (Since I'm outside the US) with 4gb RAM and 128gb of storage as an upgrade of my old LG G4, that's why I'm asking you guys to answer me honestly what was your personal experience with this device ? what are the bad sides that have made you frustrated or made you regretting making this purchase ??

I've heard many downsides but I cannot really believe them since many reputable reviewers on Youtube have said the opposite ?? :confused: :confused:

Some Cons I heard :

1-The sound output from Headphones are not really great same for the dual front facing speakers.(Which is a bit shocking as the main promoted feature of this smartphone was the audio capabilities ).

2-The Screen is not clearly visible at direct sunlight

3-The Camera is awful , in other words a piece of crap (I dont really care about Photography or low light stills , but I also hate a smartphone that cannot take some sharp stills at daylight ,such as portait of myself for social media)

4-The capacitive buttons are not back lit , but I think I could get used to them.

5-The UI is buggy and bloated , the phone doesn't have any support from devs and the Company didn't fix many issues and bugs.

6-The fingerprint is not that fast or accurate (I've heard from a review that it works 60-70% of time)

7-Multi tasking and app launching is not good either comparing to smartphones that have the same cpu/gpu like Oneplus 3 , LG G5 ,..

8-Gaming experience is worse , as the 1440p leads to fps drops.

9-Notification are not received , bad sync

10-bad signal reception , bad GPS reception , Wi-fi range ??

Yes I know this is so long because after reading many opinions and seeing many reviews that's what came out !!

I still hear that all this can be fixed by an update but till now (after 6 months of releasing) nothing to be confirmed.

I'm a casual user , I don't root my phones , or install custom roms I can bear the Stock Rom if it's doing well , no bugs or lags.

Guys Please be honest , I know that almost every opinion will be biased , I don't want to buy a whortless smartphone because I also consider buying Oneplus 3 since my brother got it and it's an amazing smartphone blazing fast , takes some good images at good light , charging really so quick , everything is good with it except the battery drain when playing heavy games , the standby drain , and some heat issues.

The reasons that pushes me to consider buying Axon 7 over OP3 is it's great 1440p screen VR ready and the front facing speakers even if the Oneplus 3 have a good display despite it's FHD only and also a decent loudspeakers .

Yeahhh this thing is damnn long, but You know I don't wanna spend 400$ for useless features !!

Best Regards , Youssef
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yamils:
1- Not true, the sound is great with both speakers and headphones, although you may have problems with some apps and compatibility.

2- I use the phone a lot outside and never had any problems reading the screen

3- the camera is awful in low light, but its a really good camera in good light. REALLY good.

4- Yes, this is a con, but you get use to it.

5- False and true. The ui is not bloated and it works really good. I actually like it more than pure stock. But regarding bugs and dev support, its really, really bad.

6- It could be faster.... and yes, you get a couple of misreads, but its not as bad as you make it sound.

7- Really don't know what are you referring to. Apps launch fast and multitasking work great (when the phone doesn't kill you app, though)

8- I don't do gaming on my phone, can't comment.

9- This is a mayor problem that should have been fix a long time ago. This is pretty much a killer point.

10- Except for some minor GPS issue indoors, my WIFI and phone receptions have been really great.

As I said in other threads, get the OnePlus 3T. Save yourself some headaches.

This phone is great in paper, and the hardware is excellent, but its pretty much dead. You are going to be really disappointed if you want to change ROMs or get community support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Youssefmans:
I really appreciate your answer it's really helping , as I don't really care about updates or custom roms I think it's bearable since you said it's not bloated . I mean overall this smartphone is great !! But I'm afraid that what you said is only applicable for A2017U (US variant) and not the chinese variant A2017 becuz as I stated before I'm not from The US , so I need to import the device from China.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
The only one I agree with is the unlit capacitive buttons. This phone is pretty solid otherwise.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] trasheris:
I have EU variant A2017G

1- Havent heard anything better yet on mobile phones (havent tried LG V10 or V20, which I believe should have better headphone output)

2- No problems

3- Photos depend on situations actually, daylight are quite good. Software needs to be fixed, manual mode is not that much manual ;)

4- Got used.

5- I use Nova on top of MiFavor and it's almost like anything else.

6- It's fast, reads fingerprint in any direction also, sure sometimes it doesnt get it, but works fine.

7- Dont have OP3 or G5 to compare to.

8- Tried some games, and except for heating and huge battery drain I didnt notice anything. Heats up to 40C, when usually it sits at ~30C.

9- This. Waiting for fix.

10- GPS seems to work good, WiFi good. Signal - not really. on 2G it's great, on 4G - it's there, but drains battery as it's always very low, and it seems that is a problem with A2017G's only, not all, but there is a problem for some people who reported it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
Why *****ing about the capacitive buttons not lit? I mean, it's not like you didn't know before you bought the Axon, right? It would be like complaining about the size of the display...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Harmtan2:
I haven't had any issues whatsoever with this phone. I'm coming from A LG-G4 as well.

1) Sound is phenomenal! You'll have nothing to worry about.

2) It's not as bright as some other phones like the gs7 or IPhone 7, but it's better visibility than the G4 which is every you're coming from.

3) Camera is mediocre compared to today's phones, but it's similar to G4 performance. So it's slightly behind, but I don't take issue with it for such a good price. Daytime shots are really good, night time are meh, hdr makes them look pretty good but you have to stay really still. Manual mode is great if you know what you're doing.

4) Chinese variant uses on screen keys from my understanding. So the issue of non-backlit isn't relevant in your case.

5) UI is not stock Android, but waaaay closer & smoother than LG's UI. You'll have no issues with bloat coming from a G4 imo. Company has taken care of the major concerns like the notification bell on the lock screen and other things of the like. They was my biggest one, do I'm good now.

6) Fingerprint doesn't always get it perfect, but it's good like 85% of the time for me.

7) I haven't done any speed tests against any other phones, but from what I've seen on YouTube, it is slightly slower than competitors. For me, this isn't an issue cuz we're talking an incomprehensible real world difference. That's my opinion however. Its still faster than the G4.

8) No lag issues with gaming here. It on lagged on me once while I had Need for speed open in the background, a photo backup uploading my 32gb worth of photos going, while playing NBA live. It was only a slight stutter though. Other than that one incident, it's really smooth.

9) No issues with notifications or sync here. Could have been an early problem. I got the phone after they released the latest marshmallow build.

10) I get slightly worse reception than my G4. To me it was expected due to it being a metal phone vs a plastic one. I compared it to the G5 at a Tmo store and it wasn't to far off. Like 3dbm lower signal (higher number). Wifi is great though! Faster speeds, more stable signal, & prefers the 5ghz band when available. I always felt like the G4 sucked with wifi.

Overall, you cant go wrong with this purchase. One plus 3 is also a great option. I picked this phone over the OP3 because I'm a sucker for its design. I think it's sexier. I have been thrilled with my purchase so far and have no regrets. It's got all some quirks, but nothing that is a deal breaker for me. I also have the US variant so obviously this is my experience with that model and your mileage my vary if you are shooting for a Chinese unit. But there is my 2¢, hope it helps with your decision! Best of luck.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Youssefmans:
Thanks Guys I really appreciate your answers , I was about to switch to the OP3 , but I guess I may get The Axon 7 , cuz I'm a regular user and I'm not seeking for a fast responsive smartphone if this is doing the job well , I was also considering the Xiaomi Mi5s Plus 6gb ram version due to the better camera onfiguration and the latest snapdragon but Yeah , a 2k and Front facing speakers worth it !!
