[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carabus1206:
Hi everyone!

I got a Note 4 a few days ago and it has battery issues.

I got it second hand online from a guy I don't know. I'm from Romania, I think the phone is from the UK, it's Verizon branded. The model is SM-N910V and the Android version is 6.0.1. It's not rooted. I noticed this V version isn't very common.

The battery that came with it was pretty poor, it would drain in a few hours with minimal usage and the worst problem is the phone would suddenly shut down at about 30-35% battery life. Then it would go into a booting loop, without being able to actually boot until I plugged it in.

I bought a new genuine battery from a popular online store here (F64), battery life is better, but still with just wifi, it went to 50% in about 2 hours of browsing. Without wifi or data (very little), it lasted for a day and a half. But the phone suddenly shut down at 8% battery life, again going into a booting loop, without being able to actually boot until I plugged it in. I'd also like to mention, when the new battery came, it only had 4% battery life left (I heard they should come about half charged, is that true?) and also there were a few reviews from people who had to try multiple batteries from this store until they got lucky with a good one. Both the old and the new batteries look identical, I don't see any signs of counterfeit.

Should I return the battery and try a new one? Is there a chance there's something wrong with the device itself?

Thank you very much!

Common problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carabus1206:
I noticed that. Any solution?

My real fear is if there's something wrong with the device, because I can't return it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Return the battery.

The seller store the battery in a very poor way.

Lithium should be kept at around 40% charged if you store it for a long time (more than 1 month)

I have 5 batteries with me, 3 of them are considered broken (70 - 60% left)

The last 2 are still in very good condition, around 98 - 99%

About your device, you will need around a few days of charge cycle with a good battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carabus1206:
Thanks for your answer. I didn't know batteries for this phone are so problematic.

I just charged it to 100% slowly from my PC, will use it normally and see how much the battery lasts and if it shuts down again. As I went through forums, some people say I need to do battery calibration. If it's still bad, I'll return it.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
Try to get a battery direct from Samsung. Failing that buy a PowerBear or Anker. Do a factory reset and calibrate your battery by fully charging it, then running it down to 0% (if it shuts down, keep turning back on until it won't turn on). Then charge fully back to 100% again - DO NOT USE FAST CHARGE.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carabus1206:
I will look for a store somewhere. I don't think I can find those two brands here.

I did a factory reset when I bought it a few days ago, but that was with the old battery. Will do the factory reset after I drain it to 0% later today.

I don't have a 'fast charge' charger, and I have it disabled in settings.

Thank you for your response!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
What I said before is for all phone that uses Lithium Battery.

Lithium Battery must be kept in a storage at around 40 - 80% charged & must avoid hot places if you don't use it for a long time.

Draining Lithium Battery to 0% will deteriorate the battery faster so it's a big NO.

Calibration is done on the phone not the battery.

Delete "batterystats.bin" to calibrate the battery gauge.

Calibration is useless if the battery is bad (you received it at 0% it means that the storage condition is bad thus the battery is bad.

Charging from PC is a BIG NO as USB port on PC only provide around 500mAh & usually it's unstable.

The charging rate is too low & it could deteriorate the battery faster too.

And the last....I think factory reset doesn't necessary reset the batterystats.bin, so you have to delete it manually if you are rooted or follow this link if you are not rooted.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a602820922:
I had a similar problems, and I have received my new battery yesterday which has been charged in 51% so I drained it to 1%-0% without unexpected shutting downs, I have charged it again and so far it seems to be ok

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Can you tell me where it is? In which folder
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carabus1206:
Hi, I didn't return the new battery after all, I think it 'calibrated' itself after the first charge. Also it goes from 100% to 1% and shuts down properly now.

I did two tests on full battery:

- barely using it, no wifi, data etc, just a few short calls (probably 30 mins of OST) and it lasted almost 6 days

- stress test, wifi and data on, gps with maps and waze on, maximum brightness and and a very long youtube video playing constantly (screen on) and it lasted about 5 hours and 30 mins

In normal use it lasts me about 2 days, but it slightly worries me that if I keep mobile data on all the time it only lasts until the end of the first day.

Would this be considered a good battery life for the Note4?

Thanks to everyone for replying and helping!!

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] anirudhks:
Guys have you noticed internal storage on the phone has 11GB occupied by the firmware . any way we can clean this ? i think 11GB just for firmwre is a bit overkill
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] CptAwesomeTT:
For reference the Oneplus 3t has just about the same amount reserved for the system. Whether or not it's overkill is irrelevant. There's no way to easily adjust this. Don't forget that you have expandable storage so it's not a big deal.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
I have to agree. 11Gb still leaves a huge amount of storage available especially if you store all your media on a removable SD card.

I was using a Galaxy S7 Edge with 32Gb internal memory. With Gear VR apps and games, it was a challenge to keep free space above 2Gb! But I managed just fine.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minesbigr:
I sideloaded IPVanish on my Shield device and all was working well. However, I later had to do a hard reset. After setting everything up again, I now have a problem where although I connect to a vpn server I have no internet access. All is back to normall when I disconnect from the vpn server. Tried YouTube, Play Store, Kodi (which doesn't even load past the initial gray screen before showing the Kodi Krypton splash). None work!

When I connect to a server initially, my IP address stays the same until I change to a different menu, then it does reflect the new IP corresponding to the server. It does show that data is being uploaded and downloaded, but it's minimal kb.

I have tried multiple different versions of the APK but have found none of them work anymore. I have done and tried the exact methods I have seen online and on numerous YouTube videos, but clearly something is wrong with my settings that I can't seem to find.

Anyone have any ideas or previous experience? Thanks!

**Sidenote - I've also noticed that when I sideload any apps now through ES File Explorer the initial screen that loads up shows the app icon, the install/cancel buttons, but no details in the middle....
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichijoe:
Does this Provider impose limits on how many installs you can have running? Perhaps you need to log into your Account, and see about removing such Ghost Devices that are eating into that limit..

It's a problem I have recently ran into with KeepSafe's VPN Unlimited. Alas they will only allow you to remove only the One Device per Week though.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minesbigr:
Thanks for the reply! That's a great idea and I thought something similar. I went to IPVanish website a few days ago when this first happened, but there's nothing about the devices I use. Good news is that while it's one of the highest rated providers there's no number to call and it's been 4 days without a response to my first inquiry to them. So frustrating! Maybe on their end it has something like that and they clear out every few days hopefully if this is the case.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minesbigr:
***UPDATE***

Well, it's ridiculously quirky but I figured out how to get it to work! I have to pick a specific server, then leave the app, then go back to it and it finally changes IP address and gives me internet!

My only persistent problem now is Kodi, which loads properly with no VPN connected but gives me a gray screen otherwise. UGH!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichijoe:
Not sure what the problem is. But for the nSATV I would recommend KeepSafes' (VPN Unlimited), which is only 26€'s for a whole Year, or about 100€ (or so), for a lifetime. And unlike your solution... It hasn't really ever screwed with my Systems nearly as much as whatever your running has. Such issues, that I do have with it are with both Amazon, and Netflix, which don't overly care for an active VPN much.

I'm not here to drive up sales for KeepSafe. (Perhaps your Provider offers a better service. Which they should seeing as they cost over 3x as much! Over a year.), It's just the first Provider I came across in the PlayStore, and FWIW have been nothing but, happy with them.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GizmoGuy:
I may be overlooking something simple, but following the first steps in jcadduono's guide :

I have:

Enabled "OEM unlocking"

- Settings -> About phone -> Tap "Build number" 7 times

- Settings -> Advanced settings -> Developer options -> Enable "OEM unlocking"

- (Also enable USB Debugging)

Followed the steps with the FASTBOOT_UNLOCK package

- Installed the Qualcomm QUSB_BULK drivers

- D/Led, installed, opened MiFlash

- D/Led, unzipped, selected A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL

- Attached A2017U to PC and booted into EDL mode (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power)

- Flashed A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL using MiFlash (successful)

Go into fastboot mode and use the "fastboot oem unlock" command to unlock

When attempting to enter fastboot mode (Volume Up + Power) I'm returned to EDL mode instead. Attempting any other boot mode sticks at 'ZTE...powered by Android' screen.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GizmoGuy:
Update: I D/Led and flashed...

...using MiFlash, and can now enter fastboot (as well boot system). So that's great; I'm no longer 'bricked'. :)

However fastboot is still locked. :-/

Hello,

I just bought an AT&T Tilt a month ago and I know how everything works b/c my friends has one too. I installed the HTC home plugin and I love everything about it but I only have 5 icons at the bottom.

In order:

1. home, 2, weather (connection times out a lot) 3, quick launching apps, 4. music, and 5. Sound profile for putting phone on vibrate, etc.

The problem is that I really what the "Favorites, or icon to dial your friends or family". I've tried installing different versions of HTC home plugin but I can't get 6 icons on my screen. I have HTC Customizer and I told it to put 6 icons there but it won't.

I NEED HELP. IT WORKED ONCE BEFORE BUT IT DOESN'T NOW.

Does anyone else wish they had 6 icons on their htc home plugin?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] newbie2:
No. I already have 6 tabs on my HTC Home Screen. Which version are you using??

How can I get 6 icons on my HTC Home plugin? I need directions. I have a registry editor and I know how to navigate through my files. I just need some good instructios.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hans_olo:
Delete following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial

Softreset afterwards, and you should have back the 6 HTCHome tabs.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plevi1337:
Hi guys,

I have a z5 with E6653 Single, with the customization number 1298-8309(Taiwan, i live in Hungary), the nougat update hasn't rolled out yet to my phone, but i'd like to upgrade. I'm new to this, so i have a few questions about this.

1. If i understand correctly.First i have to unlock the bootloader then i'll have to use flashtool+xperifirm like in this guide:

[link removed] ( i can't post links yet,google xperiablog flash guide to find it) to flash the firmware then i'll have Nougat

2. I don't want to lose my app settings etc., so if i dont check the wipe userdata, i should be fine or it will be buggy as hell ?

3. I should make a backup just in case, what is the best tool for this?

3. Which firmware should i use? I was thinking about the Hungarian-Telenor one 1298-2997/32.3.A.376/R1D or would it be better if i used an other one or use the marshmallow and then upgrade through OTA ( if this is how it works)

4.What are the chances of me bricking my phone? Any other disadvantages/risks of doing this?

Thanks in advance, first time poster here, sorry if this is not the place for a question like this or too dumb questions :)

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBeans:
Hello,

So my mom owns a Xperia Z3, and each time she would turn it on, the System UI would keep crashing. I didn't know why, but I thought I would boot into recovery and clear the cache/dalvik and see if that fixes anything. I'm not sure if it would, but I'm putting that investigation on hold for now because I noticed a bigger problem - I can't even boot into recovery or the bootloader!

So here is what I did: I enabled USB debugging, connected the phone to my PC, accepted the RSA fingerprint and opened up to command prompt. Ensuring the device was there, I typed `adb devices` and it was successful. Then, I typed `adb reboot bootloader`. The phone just gave me a black screen. After about a minute I decided to turn the phone off, and so I did, and it rebooted into the ROM. Then, when the device restarted and it connected to the PC, I went through the steps to ensure the device was connected and I typed `adb reboot recovery`. The device simply rebooted into the ROM. I looked at a few articles on how to start either recovery or the bootloader using key combinations, but it was of no use.

I have never really messed with a Sony phone before; I use a Nexus 5X and the most I did was install LineageOS. Pardon my ignorance if I am missing something that only Sony phones have, but to my understanding, the partitions should be identical to that of my phone (the names, of course, not the images)

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me (and therefore my mom) with this issue.

[LG K8 Questions & Answers] Professor Woland:
Well, you shouldn't ever download anything from sites which have similar name to some ROM but it's not officiall site, in most cases that are sites who just want visits without actuall content. Also in ROM file name there is 64bit and AFAIK none of K8's have 64bit kernel. Next thing recovery they provided is over 16mb in size, that is a recipe for getting bricked in best case it will refuse to boot/flash, also kernel offset ramdisk offset are wrong according to my model (k350nds), that is also good recipe, I didn't check the kernel but I doubt it's right one, I'll unpack ROM just to see what is inside.

When you download ROM please use only trusted sites.
