[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note3userr:
Accounts are all synced good. I have wifi and Bluetooth scanning off. Location is on battery saving. And I'm on latest vendor 7.1.1 and usually it's when I'm using the phone. Idle drains some too but not that much of a difference.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
Did you wipe the system cache? The only obvious thing that might drain your phone when in use is having the screen brightness set very high, but that shouldn't make a huge difference. You said the problem began when you were on a custom ROM but now you are fully stock? That's odd. Poor network connection can also cause high battery drain. I think if you reset your network settings it will force your phone to look for the closest available cell tower. Do you have GSM or CDMA service?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
When battery is run down, what is displayed under battery>>android system>>use details? Please paste those details here. Are you in an area of extremely poor LTE signal? Have you ever used Better Battery Stats? Install it and run it for a full battery cycle. Your problem will likely be solved by a factory reset from the stock recovery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note3userr:
Wouldn't high screen brightness go under the screen category and not Android system? I will reset my network settings and see if it makes a difference. I would assume flashing back to stop and erasing all data on the phone would do that and wipe all system cache as well.

I have BBS installed but without root I don't think it's much help? I will post screenshots when my battery goes down to about 15%
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
Some people have reported that the following works, although I don't understand why it would. Go into settings/battery/battery optimization/all apps/reset app preferences.

A factory reset shouldn't be necessary if you did a completely clean stock install but it also couldn't hurt.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Again, your problem will likely be solved by a factory reset from the stock recovery.

Weren't you running BBS when you were rooted and running multiple custom roms? Why not re-root now and use BBS or GSam?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note3userr:
I never use root even with custom Roms. I feel like I have no need for it. I did what was mentioned earlier and reset my network settings and also I disabled chrome and started using a different browser and so far Android system is the same percentage as screen. Not good but way better than before. BSS is also showing 2 hours "awake (screen off)" which is kinda alarming
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
You didn't see anything odd when you went into accounts and looked at syncing? For Google you clicked on the account and looked at each individual thing that gets synced under Google? If you were rooted you could try the Naptime app. I hated it but it has many fans. Basically it puts your phone in an extreme Doze state when you aren't using it, which might fix your problem. But if you want anything to work with the screen off you have to exempt it from Doze. Screen off in Naptime kills pretty much everything.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yzT:
Same here. Everything stock. Just checked accounts settings and everything is good.

right now my top 5 is:

Screen 13% (2h:52min SOT)

Android System 10%

Android OS 9%

Facebook 8%

WhatsApp 5%

and in overall I've been around 40 min on Facebook, and you know that this **** consumes a lot, so go figure out how the hell is Android System and OS above it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
They are components shared by applications so that's rather normal to have them high.

I don't care about Android architecture much so only look at my SOT (which is nominal).

Those interested in why system and OS are high, should read the battery stats source code to see what's grouped under these and how it's being calculated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note3userr:
I locked my bootloader last night and did a factory reset from settings. Right now Android system is at 5% and screen at 4%

I'm about to completely just give up
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Android System tally is the sum total of a number of components. That it is "high" is not necessarily a big deal. The real question is: what are each of those components using? When your battery is run down, what is displayed under battery>>android system>>use details? Those usage details may help you find a problem if you even have one. Short of rooting and running a dedicated battery usage/wakelock app, these details may be the best you will get.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note3userr:
Decided to run purenexus and exkernel with root to get better stats. Battery is a little better but still not even close to how it used to be. Here are screenshots of everything . Woke up with 100% around 5:30 am. Went to work and the gym and wat he'd some YouTube.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashim71:
The only way I found to fix this issue was to implement aggressive doze as soon as screen is off.

If you're on MM this can be done using apps like ForceDoze

And on Nougat using NapTime

Furthermore , I also implemented ElementalX kernel with Hawktail governor.

Since these changes my Screen is on top of the list in battery and maximizes my screen on time. Nothing else works for me.

The phone tends to stay awake needlessly without all these tweaks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I think the 2 hours awake screen off is normal unless you use an App like Naptime to put your phone in Doze as soon as the screen is off. If you are really concerned with idle battery life you might want to try Naptime, but you may need to play with the settings so the phone works like you want, Naptime by default turns off everything that isn't excluded from Doze when the screen goes off. That includes music players and the fingerprint sensor.

Hi I bought this variant in exchanging my Galaxy S7 flat model. The phone variant is now available in India from 31 of December 2016 in all Samsung stores.

Two main reasons which made me to turn to this model:

1. Storage ( which was less in flat model)

2. The stunning complete black colour in all surfaces and more shining than the normal black onyx.

It has to be prebooked first then only it can be made to purchase.

In India it cost at 56900 rupees.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] violin.siva:
Yes exactly it's completely black and more shiny than the normal black one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Mind posting some pictures of it, if possible?

I'm contemplating on whether or not to trade in my Black Onyx 32GB S7e, the extra storage would certainly be appreciated lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] krumbs:
I am tempted by this. Have a S7 Edge which I picked up in November (was a Note 7 prebooker). Have already run out of space thanks to VR apps. How much of a price reduction can you expect if you trade in the 32GB version and buy the 128GB one?

Also, with the S8 out in a few months, wondering if it even makes sense to buy the 128GB version, especially if you already have the 32GB one. I am pretty sure S8 will be a radical departure and something that may even need you to buy a new VR headset.

Currently, a bit confused about what to do!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] violin.siva:
My S7 flat was exchanged for just 28000 INR. It was only Samsung showroom who accepted this amount whereas other sellers were highly disappointing me in the exchange value. As I said earlier I was dying out of storage since I use mobile more in both official and personal than my PC. Hence I need storage. Also dual sim support where carriers like Reliance jio are giving VoLTE services.

You can wait for S8 if you need but remember S8 mostly will not support the current VR glass and many changes and more luxury ( costlier than note 7)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Edgrr000:
Is this the Exynos variant?

I know the SM-G9350 is also a dual sim Snapdragon variant that can come in 128gb and black pearl color.

But is this the SM-G935FD Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EMF:
G935FD is Exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] violin.siva:
Yes

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] waleed794:
I've been using s7 exynos variant for quite some time and it's a very nice phone but there's one huge problem with it, when I start playing some games like modern combat 5, Hit etc at first I get 60 fps then after some time the performance drops. It's probably due to aggressive gpu throttle as the device barely gets warm. Is there any way to disable the gpu throttle?

My phone is rooted with xposed installed so I'm ready to make some modifications to the system
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] waleed794:
BUMP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] richhaynes:
Firstly, i have no idea what modifications you could make as i dont have any issues like what you report.

Secondly, modifying any throttling is inherently dangerous. A slight tweak and your phone could overheat and batteries tend to explode when overheated! You've been warned!

I would suggest you look at whether its an app issue before doing something that could brick, damage or destroy you phone. Its also kinda jumping the gun a little to say straight away its GPU throttling as it could be CPU doing work of the GPU due to a dev error (and thats seriously slow!) or even a delay due to loading graphics from an SD card etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] smknutson:
Also, it could very well be root related...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DaReDeViL:
Try uninstalling xposed and be happy with a phone which works as it should (and gain the ~25% performance lost because of xposed...)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] waleed794:
Thanks but I have had this problem before installing xposed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Szighy:
It's not root related, i know exactly what you're talking about. I sold my S6, got an S7 just because of this problem. Exact same problem. Now i have the S7 edge, still the same. I dont know what's the problem, but it's very annoying.

Works fine on my shield tablet though :p

All i can suggest now is to wait for Modern Combat Versus, hopefully it will be better optimised, with Vulkan support
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] waleed794:
Update : So I recently updated my phone with Nougat and the problem still exists BUT I have noticed something weird, As I said before the game loses fps in less than a minute (it's still quite playable but it's definitely not 60fps), when I press the recent button/key and jump out of the game and press it again and get right into it again I start getting 60fps, then again after a minute I lose the frames.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sincaust:
This is exactly what happened to me,and weird thing you mentioned has been there since marshmallow,this is very weird,some games that isn't even gpu extensive also experience fps drops here and there on both my snapdragon s7 edge and exynos s7

Also weird such a beast machine couldn't run psp emulator without fps drop

Been waiting for more than half year for the fix or solution without rooting :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] twiggyash:
Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem with my S7 Edge and I'm getting crazy trying to develop my little 3D game.

Did you find any solution to this yet? Did you try to contact Samsung?

Thanks for help!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] waleed794:
I think I've found a solution but it requires root. if your device is rooted then install any kernel manager that supports your rom (I use EX Kernel Manager) and choose the "high performance" profile for both the cpu and gpu. no overclocking is required. now I get full fps all the time. Actually the device throttles the cpu after some time when a resource heavy app is launched (I've done my own testing with on-screen cpu monitor app) so selecting a high performance profile disables the throttling but keep in mind, the device tends to get hotter than usual but not too much. hope this helps

marshmallow contacts app won't start, "require this permission" message displayed

Hi all, hoping some kind soul can help me. My girlfriend has a ZTE Zmax running Android 6.0.1, not rooted.

She can't get into her Contacts app (stock android contacts app). When she taps the Contacts app icon on the home screen, the message "Require this permission" appears. is displayed and the Contacts app does not open. I've searched but haven't found a fix yet.

Things I have tried, didn't help:

- checked permissions for the contacts app. all the following permissions are granted Calendar, Contacts, Location, Phone, SMS, Storage.

- checked permissions for the launcher app.

- tried launching Contacts from the App Drawer instead of Home Screen

- tried a different launcher (Google Now launcher)

- cleared data and cache for the Contacts app

- Force Close and Reboot

- wiped the Cache partition from Recovery

- Disable button for Contacts app is greyed out.

Any ideas? The "Require this Permission" message is strange. Maybe the intended meaning is "This requires permission", but I can't figure out where to grant the permission.

I think it would be a good idea for people to talk about some tricks and tips to basic repairs. I always hear about people who have to shell out a couple hundred for a PDA/PPC repair. Most of the time it can be fixed with spending as little as 5 dollars.

first tip... don't be afraid to open it, i once kinda ruined (gradually) a sony ericsson w800 so i was iffy, but the hermes is very solid and sturdy. however, don't open if you're under warranty, i had orange replace a faulty m3100 once in less than a day.

money-saving... i've saved loads, probably £50 at least because that's what people seem to be charging for just postage and labour, let alone parts; which you can get cheap from ebay even!

there's videos or links to them on here, on how how to open etc.

basically all you'll ever need is on xda-developers, all you gotta do is search.

I have tried to update to nougat but the camera didn't work even after restoring product_v3 on my l31. I tried to downgrade using the suggested oeminfo and b151 rom.

Now i just get the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted screen". At the bottom it says "Your device is booting now..." but it never boots.

I can't install anything via dload method as three button combo just boots to this screen. Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen... Can't boot to fastboot but thinking maybe that's because the phone won't actually switch off.

I've left it for ages and it's still stuck on the same screen.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Chisetdel31260:
vns-l31 ? l21?

Disconnect the usb cable from the pc, turn off hisuite.

Reconnect the usb cable to the pc to see if it starts.

If it starts not to turn off.

Reset bootloader with fastboot or toolkit 0.0.0.8.

Started fastboot or toolkit0.0.0.8, plugged the usb cable and hold depressed volume - and power. He should go.

Code bootloader and twrp meticulus

Have you tried volume down pressed whilst connecting to pc?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ephumuris:
Yes of course but it just reboots to the same screen not the fastboot screen.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] m1keyb:
Sorry if it was a silly question to ask...went through all this myself earlier (except mine would power off...) but you said "Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen..." that's pretty much what mine did and I thought myself "why can't I get into fastboot", but power off and then [*without pressing power* vol down whilst connecting usb] worked.

If I restart my phone from the power menu and then immediately press vol down and connect to pc it boots to fastboot so it doesn't need to be powered off :good: but it does need to be connected to pc with the required drivers installed.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ephumuris:
Finally got fastboot working and bootloader is unlocked but can't get anything to boot. Neither MM TWRP or Revolution TWRP will boot up.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JaccaPL:
Try to boot one more time to bootloader holding vol down and plugging usb without powering up phone. Then you need to flash twrp for nougat and flash oeminfo trough adb sideload. Do not reboot your phone after this, it won't start. Go back to and copy any app file (for example b160) then try to boot to bootloader and flash boot, recovery and system from nougat app file. Reboot phone holding all 3 buttons, it gonna take a while to boot and it should flash the system properly.

Well after a long few days i think i've finally got it back on and down to Marshmallow. A few strange points to note.

At times the phone would not do anything other than stick on Your phone is booting now... No matter what button combination.

If i let the battery fully drain and phone switched off...occasionally fastboot would come on.

Manually flashing files extracted from b151, b161 or nougat would not let the phone boot still.

After flashing some bits and the oeminfo all of a sudden my bootloader unlock code wouldn't work anymore!

What finally worked...unfortunately involved paying for DC Phoenix software. Note not the unlocker software...this will be a waste of credits as i found out...doh.

Boot to fastboot.

Flash b161 update.app (Even with locked bootloader it will flash through backdoor method)

First time failed on flashing cust and system images.

Fastboot reboot.

Flash b161 update.app and it said successful.

Phone still won't boot but goes automatically to Huawwei recovery. (This wouldn't let me recover with HiSuite or anything)

Tried to flash b161 again through dload method and it fails after a few percent.

Left to charge on Huawei Recovery.

Powered off flashed b161 using dload 3 button combo method.

Failed at 99% so rebooted into dload method again this time it completed 100%.

Phone booted up!
