[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
Hi guys! If you're like me who is forever frustrated with the occasional lags of this supposedly fast device (especially during wake up after long sleep scenario) and also afraid to change their settings during firmware updates, maybe you'd like to consider what I did:

Setup: US LTE device using RoW LTE ROM 5.1, unrooted, TWRP Recovery

History: would just passively update or restore old settings every firmware updates/flashing of mods since lollipop days. Antutu performance is between 60k-92k, with around 80k average in latest firmware (which is absurd). Occasional lags after using the device for a while

Methods:

Factory reset/DO NOT restore old settings and apps, literally start from scratch (you may back up your old data if that's important)

No Google now

No antivirus/malware apps

No Google keyboard

So far, didn't install Facebook and Messenger

Effects (after 2 days observation):

tablet is smooth, AND VERY stable (lagged only once, during initial setup, while updating Google apps)

Apps open quickly, chrome doesn't lag ESP when keyboard is activated

Battery life and management considerably improved

CPU use seems to have been more effective than before (used to be always at around 90-100%, and very hot). Antutu averages at 93k now

Gaming experience is much better

Connectivity is also improved, my controller no longer occasionally disconnects

Background and active App processes no longer crashes (I've always been hassled by app crashes ever since I was on nougat)

Post Analysis:

I suspect that I may have unwittingly installed malicious apps or used faulty settings in the past which persisted throughout my updates and that could have caused severe lagging and very poor user experience on this device. I'm just a regular customer with little background on computer processes, and my claims may be baseless in the eyes of hardcore developers, but my aim is to just provide alternative approach to other frustrated customers.

Ive always thought Nvidia native apps and processes might be causing these annoying lags, since everytime I use custom ROMs (which don't have these apps), the device would operate like a Nexus machine - smooth, snappy, and stable. But I'm a huge fan of the controller, video output, and the dabbler, so I'm stuck with stock (pun intended).

I've never been ON MY SHIELD TABLET for more than 20 hours straight until now. I've never enjoyed using it before. I hope this awesome experience continues longer and more permanently. For those who are interested, let me know if you've tried this and what happened? Maybe this can help rule out hardware issues or manufacturing-related defects. :)
[Shield Tablet General] thirdzcee:
Pretty sure removing Facebook would be enough, atleast for me... :p
[Shield Tablet General] Bryandu13:
The best way to remove lags is flash recovery images : https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload

5.0 images are available just flash it using fastboot adb flash.
[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
I used to think that way as well. But since I played around with this tablet from its KitKat days, I noticed that it becomes laggy over a period of time. Everytime I convert this device to it's fresh state again (using recovery rom) and then restore my apps and settings using Google backup, same issues happen. The only time I was able to really achieve a stable and amazing experience was this time. Fresh from recovery, factory reset, and then installation of apps from scratch. Never had any lags or crashes ever since I posted this. Some faulty bugs must have been wiped out a long the way. I don't know. Lol

To conclude, congrats to Nvidia developers team! They nailed it this time! :) hope this tablet will reach android o. :P

Running latest Stock with root access I disabled some bloatware including official launcher and replaced it with Nova.

Things are smooth now.

[Shield Tablet General] psychic99:
I just clean flashed to 5.1 and all is well. How did you root it?

I want to change readahead which was most of the problem in the past, not to mention ad blocker! I love Nova.

I can't really confirm but I think the lags on this model are due to it using ghetto-slow nvram, and thermal throttling. Maybe readahead too and Nvidia "enhancements" or all 4. I can tell for sure the nvram is butt slow on this device, but I'll bench N once it settles down. Readahead has dramatically cleared up lags on my older devices, such that why buy new ones. 2Mb on Nexus 6 and that thing now flies and is buttery smooth. This tablet is an enigma, there seem to be many engineering issues with it.

BTW - I had some stuff left over from lineage (cyano), so if you guys are flashing to stock, I recommend that you get twrp (latest), boot to recovery and WIPE everything including userdata. I normally wipe everything first, then userdata. Once I did that (and wiped SD) everything came up like a champ.

Also I had a heck of a time w/ the drivers on Windows 10, but I installed the shield USB drivers, and then I used miniadb. I was concerned on sparse w/ system but it worked just fine. The Nvidia instructions are dated, you can just run the flash-all.bat rather than typing all of the fastboot commands. They also recommend you get fastboot from Google. Don't bother as they have removed adb/fastboot from the command line tools and you will need to download the entire SDK or install it via CLI.

Nvidia should really spend 10 minuted updating their documentation...
[Shield Tablet General] just lou:
The lag was fixed in the 5.2 update. It disables Doze by default now. Some even suggest that turning Doze back on works fine.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] thefunkaygibbon:
Hey everyone,

I have been having issues lately with the handsfree in my car, but this has only happened with the Moto. My previous phone, a Blackberry Priv, worked flawlessly.

Basically, when I make or receive a phone call in the car, the ringer will work, but as soon as I am in the call I cannot hear the other person. They apparently can't hear me either.

Strangely, if I make the call, it sends the instruction to my phone to make the call, then the radio goes silent for the duration of the call, but I have to pick up my phone and use it normally, defeating the purpose of 'hands free'

I have no idea what's going on, or how to get this working again. Any ideas?

J have this rom : [ROM][STABLE][N][7.0][DQBO][02.03.2017][SM-G930F/FD/K/L/S/W8] SuperMan-Rom V2.3

Already flashed Magisk 11.5 and phone booted fine.. But lost root after reboot.

Is the easiest way (without flash the whole rom) to restore the root?

[General Questions and Answers] StereoSteo:
I don't know why 11.5 isn't working but I had to boot into recovery and reflash the superstock kernel then magisk 11.1 again to fix it. Reflashing 11.5 again still says no root. You just have to download your kernel and magisk 11.1 somewhere.

Hey, I just discovered that there is no more ad playback before the video. I have tried a lot of ad heavy videos and none of the ads appeared. Is this because I toggled off the whitelist in the adaway setting or there is some good update done by adaway team? I also have the ipv6 host blocking enabled in the setting but not sure if this is the reason behind it. Anyway just want to share this interesting discovery with anyone out there who might also super annoyed by the youtube ads. If it always working like this, let me know and I will delete my post. :victory:

"Individual flash memory cells have a limited lifespan. That's the bad news. The good news is that their lifespan is usually measured in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of erase/write cycles."

Meaning you will never be able to kill your memory as I don't think anyone will be flashing their devices millions of times. :) You have many many good years before that will happen but by then you'll probably have moved on to the next newer/better device.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] trongnghia2411:
Friends,

I'm currently using H990DS from Taiwan, normally the phone lasts until 5pm (about 2h30 - 3h screen on). This happened with all my previous devices with promised good battery life like Note 4 or G2. I only installed standard apps like facebook (i know it drained battery), instagram, flipboard...

So yesterday, I did something that today, the battery improved greatly. It's currently at 49% battery with 3h15min screen on, of which over 2h45min of Clash Royale (over wifi)!

So you can try this and maybe it will improve your battery life. I know it work for me, not sure about everyone else.

Step 1: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard

Step 2: On Audio, may be you see the Audio history is Enable. Please disable it. What it does I believe is to turn off Ok Google detection.

Let's report if you have better battery after.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Syystole:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
Day 1: No obvious change, at 50% with about 2 hrs of screen on time, just like before. Although my use case may be odd, since no matter what I've done by the end of the day my phone idle takes anywhere between 10-20% in the battery usage menu. Anyone else seeing this?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] trongnghia2411:
I don't use google assistant so I disabled this, the battery gets better. So don't do this if you rely on Google Now or Google Assistant...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] trongnghia2411:
Maybe some app is constantly refresh in the background?

My phone drop 1% per hour in idle.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
I use gsam battery monitor but it just says that the Android system takes up the most battery, and it also shows less than 20 alarms and less than maybe 30 wakelocks per day so it's weird.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] trongnghia2411:
I suggest you update all the apps, clear the cache in Smart Cleaning. Then restart the phone.

If you it doesn't get better, I think you should remove the battery for 2 mins. plug it back, charge to 100%, use the phone till 0% then charge to 100% again to see if it gets better
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:

So it's been over a week I think since the last post, I find that under my usage (medium to heavy) I get around 4 hours screen on time consistently. In the picture shown, I had around 55% battery with about 2 hours screen on time. However, what I don't get is the phone idle time battery usage. Just look in the picture and you will see what I mean. Furthermore, for half of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, which makes it even stranger. If anyone else is getting something like this or has any suggestions/requires further info, please let me/us know.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] RdT21:
You have been using the phone for 15 hrs or more. Yes you used it for 2 hours SOT but for 13 hrs it was idle, that is why phone idle is the biggest battery drain imho. Anyway try using the mart cleaner, it may help reduce idle time battery usages.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swizzle82:
Sot is a horrible reference point. You could be using maps in with the screen off, streaming music with the screen off. There's all kinds of things while the screen is off that can consume battery. If your phone can get you through most of the day without a charge you're good. Stop putting so much emphasis on sot..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
My point was that Android 7.0 nougat and updated doze have been giving people great standby times, like 1 or two percent gone overnight, without airplane mode too. Compared to my experience, that seems massively different. I was simply wondering if what I had was normal for my LG V20.

Also, for most of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, just sitting in my pocket(I would say about 8 hours of the day or maybe a bit more or less), and the pictures show are similar to what I do every day, and I also use airplane mode the same way every day.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swizzle82:
Do you have volte enabled? Lg ims is volte. If you have greenify and see lg ims waking your phone 400 times then that is your issue.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
Don't have greenify, but I do have gsam battery monitor, which also tells me wakelocks and things like that. I do see a lot of wake locks during the day, but nothing specifically pointing to LG IMS. Still, I don't have anything else to try so I will download greenify and hibernate LG IMS, I think that is what you are trying to say. If I should be doing something else, please let me know. Thanks.

Edit: Should I just turn off volte instead?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swizzle82:
If you don't need it turn it off. I use it so I leave it be and deal with it. I might go stop.it from time to time but that's it. I just rebooted so I only have 10 wake ups, but after a full day it gets up there..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] RdT21:
Maybe the volte is what's eating up your battery. SorryI don't have that on my asian h990ds phone. Some do. Will check mine since i use sim2 for data rather than sim1.

Also, have you done factory reset?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
Yep, have done the reset twice, once with LG backup and once by manual reinstalling apps afterwards.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
It's been a day without volte, and there is exactly no change. So that rules out LG IMS. Seems very odd.

Bring it to an authorized service center and update us. Bring it to people who has the most knowledge about your phone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] p_pal2000:
I bought it off of Swappa, would there be any issues?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] RdT21:
No, especially if it's within warranty. Nevertheless the only problem is it may not be covered by warranty so you have to pay for any repairs/diagnostics or replacement parts. But at least the repair will now be "officially" done by LG and there will be some sort of warranty for their "official service".

Good news for all of us!! Now mi 4c long exposure tweaks available up to 16s.

This tweak can only be used in manual mode, and make the auto mode can not be used. So the range of the camera application can not be in use. So you guys can only use manual mode only.

This tweak only works on MIUI ROM.

And for the current tweaks can only be used on a sensor imx258_sunny instead of imx258. To find out the check in the hardware info by pressing the kernel version several times and then select check version info then you will find some information like this.

​

TUTORIAL
