Lol people use your heads. Battery life has nothing to do with the date of manufacture, actually nothing has anything to do with your date of manufacture. You can safely forget that piece of information as it's never going to be needed and you can certainly stop trying to associate every problem with a mythical "bad batch". That's what people do when they don't understand something, and means you won't keep looking for the real solution if you think it's a problem out of your control.

Note: Each battery does have a tiny difference in total capacity but it's negligible.

Battery life is in your control as it's mostly determined by usage, settings, and signal. Random Android hiccups can happen and are more likely to happen on custom software that you've modified than they are on Google's stock images, not less.

Lower SoT than you hoped or you saw someone else achieve is not a sign of bad battery life. SoT alone can not be used as a mesurement for battery life. If you think you have a problem with battery life and have tried the basics than post screenshots in our battery thread and I will take a look. If you haven't posted there with proper screen shots than I can safely say you have not tried everything, installing a custom ROM and kernel is not trying everything.
[Nexus 5X General] crazyates:
That's all true, to a certain extent. We know for a fact that LG did ship out bad batches of logic boards, where the CPUs crap out. It's all over the bootloop threads. My sister-in-law has had 2 different 5x bootloop, and had to be returned for replacements. Yes, she was on stock ROM, stock kernel, locked bootloader, the whole stock shebang.

I did everything I possibly could, and was not able to get lower than 20%/hour (screen on) drain. Then I noticed that I get HUGE battery savings by turning off my BIG cores. I went from 25%/hour drain to 15%/hour. I don't know if every phone is really that bad, but I do think my phone was part of a "bad batch" of BIG cores that require a higher voltage to run.

I recently noticed that my battery drains twice as fast when I'm using LTE instead of 3G. With roughly same daily usage today I was able to reach 4h SOT (3G). In comparison on LTE I was able to reach 2h at max. Any idea how to fix this? My APN settings are fine, made clean update to 7.1.2, rooted.
[Nexus 5X General] CreasingMass Dev:
Easy dude

Flash latest official DirtyUnicorns RC build with SuperSU and some light gapps

Then once booted and synced your Google account go to location settings, go to the top right menu, select scanning and disabled both options there

And enjoy anwesome battery life.

Trust me, this works

[Nexus 5X General] AlienTeck:
What I did was buy a LTE 4G dongle which I use for internet and set the phone to 2G only mode and use wifi and I get 5-6 hours of SOT or 4 days of standby when I dont use the phone but often check for messages. Using LTE 4G mode drops that standby to a day.

Accubattery says the capacity has dropped from 2700mAh to less than 2200mAh.. So even with a new battery it would have not made much difference. 4h 15mins for screen on time, 94h standby and 22H mixed use..
[Nexus 5X General] AlienTeck:
Accubattery now says th ebattery capacity has dropped to under 1000mAh since the last time I posted. So I ordered a Chinese one which says its 3600mAh.. We shall see.. The 4 years should bring about advantages in capacity but being Chinese I dont know.. But currently I get less than 2 hr SOT so I have to plug in a power bank all the time. Standby still seems like 6 hours or so.. And still seems to work for most everything.. But its age is showing with only 2GB ram..

I have just replaced/exchanged the old battery in my partners 5x with one we had in my old bootlooped 5x and her phone has now gone from 3-5 hours to lasting all day again ;) It's like a totally new phone!

If you have doubts about your 5x battery then simply buy a new battery from a reputable seller :) It's such a simple fix I can not believe I didn't change it sooner :(
[Nexus 5X General] siealex:
I had the same battery problem. The only solution is... to switch off 4G! It draws 150..200 mA constantly regardless of phone calls and data usage. I had 7..8 hours total with 1:15 screen on, now I have 16..20 hours total with 2 hours screen on...
[Android General] nimirooyn:
Hi guys and gals,

I have a bit of a problem...

A tablet someone gave me have an old OS that is giving me some grief...

It's a Quadcore-a31Series Mercury Mini M100

Firmware 3.3_20140220

It's 'stuck' with Jelly bean 4.2.2 and won't update... or download apps from the market(which is the grief I was talking about)

I want to find a better faster and especially newer OS to put on it.

Anyone tried a Rom on this tablet and knows to recommend it?

I don't want to put a Rom that doesn't work on it and there are a lot of them around.

So... recommendations anyone?
[Android General] nimirooyn:
Anyone?...

Rom? firmware? something?...
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
If Amazon won't let us root, how about letting us unlock the bootloader for tablets withOUT special offers? There's a $50 version of this tablet with ads, and a $65 version of this tablet without ads. IIRC, you can buy an upgrade to remove the ads, no? What if purchasing the $15 upgrade (hell, make it $25 if it's not at the time of purchase) to disable the ads also gave you the option of unlocking the bootloader? Rather than just demanding that Amazon allow us access to the hardware they sold us with the intent of getting us to use their services/ecosystem, we are paying a "fee" to not use their services and unlock the device. It's essentially the same thought as not using their ads, but taking it one step farther.

There are a number of mutually beneficial perks:

1) Income for Amazon. How many people would right now pay $15-25 to unlock their device? Considering the amount of people on here waiting for a root exploit for 5.3.2.1, I would say it's not insignificant. So rather than demanding something from Amazon that represents a capital loss on their end (time to develop software changes, loss of customers seeing ads, etc), we are proposing a capital gain, as the people who want to root/rom/etc are probably not going to be purchasing those services anyways.

2) Better ROMs. Even if we got root working on 5.3.2.1, it's still a locked-down device. With an unlocked bootloader, we can flash a TWRP recovery, wipe everything, and install custom ROMs. custom kernels. No more locked down to 5.1 LP. This opens up the XDA community by giving them a wide-open field of anything-they-want. Amazon already provides the source for their kernels, IIRC.

Thoughts?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Wishful thinking. Let's say 10K owners choose to unlock the bootloader at $25 USD a pop. So $250K "income" for Amazon. Woohoo!! Amazon's 4Q16 revenue was $43.75 BILLION. Hello?

Improved custom ROMs? Why is that a motivation for Amazon? I would argue Amazon would rather not see independent development that could pull future customers away from their closed ecosystem.

Bottom line: if you want an easily rooted/unlocked device it would be best to shop elsewhere. There is zero business case for Amazon to move in a different direction.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonedpsycho:
Personally I can't see it happening. The tablet is a bargain for the price and I feel Amazon sold it at such a cheap price in an attempt to gain revenue through their 'system'

I do not use any Amazon service (tablet was brought for me) so I have not registered it, although it was with special offers I do not get the annoying adds on the lock screen.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
I never said it was going to made/break the companies profitability. Right now, there's no incentive for Amazon to unlock the bootloader. Zero. If there was a business model and reason for them to do so, maybe they would.

These things are popular because they're $50. Would buying it for $75 but having a custom ROM still maintain its attractiveness? Not sure.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
I'm not using any of the Amazon services either. I have mine using the Fire Nexus ROM, and I use it to Chromecast Netflix to my TV, something I can't do on the stock firmware. And Amazon wants me to use a Fire Stick, which doesn't work with my Nexus and laptops running Chrome.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Sure. Let's make the unlock fee $250 USD. Still no economic insensitive for Amazon to unlock the bootloader given the small numbers involved and potential damage to their model if unlocked devices suddenly took off. Take a look at reviews on Amazon's site. Some folks have a hard time figuring out how to perform the most basic functions. The target audience is not those who hang out on XDA.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake1702_:
People might as well start taking the tablets apart and modifying the motherboard itself to see if something can be done to unlock it. Or maybe just create custom motherboards for it. Not sure how ideal that would be, but at least it's something to combat Amazon's ridiculousness.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Or just purchase another device that can be rooted/unlocked ...
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake1702_:
Hmmm... that may actually convince Amazon to start allowing it. If there's a dramatic drop in sales because of this, it may be a good idea.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
A "dramatic drop in sales" is hard to envision under any scenario.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake1702_:
Not if we purposely try to cause a dramatic drop in sales.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
The weather on a particular day is far more likely to impact overall sales than if the entire XDA community vowed to never purchase another Amazon device again. Neither would likey show up on Amazon's radar unless some junior data miner (let's call him Skippy) went for a deep dive.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake1702_:
Just saying, you'd be surprised as to what even a small group of people can accomplish as long as they continuously GAIN supporters.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanb85:
Not to be a Debbie downer for anyone looking for an uprising against Amazon devices, but not only would a boycott by the XDA community not likely change anything, but it's likely you'd only get a small fraction of this actual community to do it. For the money, it's really hard to complain about Amazon Fire tablets. You get a cheap tablet with decent specs that's customizable or at least semi-customizable for those willing to put in at least a minimal amount of effort. I just recently purchased a new one with the understanding that I probably wouldn't be able to root the device, since 5.3.2.1 isn't rootable at this time. I happened to luck out and get a device that shipped with 5.3.1. But even without that, it was worth it to me to get the cheap tablet, customize it to the extent that I could without root and just sit and cross my fingers hoping for a future exploit that would give me that access.

That brings me to my second point. This is a community of amateur to professional tinkerers. Part of the appeal of this device is taking it and doing with it exactly what they don't want you to do with it. People actually enjoy the challenge of it. Why pay Amazon money to do something that we can eventually figure out how to do ourselves? I mean, unlocking the bootloader may not be within reach right now, but what's life without the occasional holy grail?

My point is that not only is it not in Amazon's financial interest to unlock the bootloader, but it's also not going to be worth it to most people here to even bother begging Amazon for the opportunity to pay to do that. The Fire tablet is what it is in part due to the low price that we're paying for it. If it were more than what it is, we'd all be paying a lot more money for it. And if that were the case, it probably wouldn't be worth buying in the first place.

Hi!

I have been searching for a LineageOS build for my Huawei Y625 device for many weeks now.

But I didn't found any builds for it. :(

The last days i tried to compile my own build from the source code, but I failed, because my device isn't official supported.

I also tried to install builds for Huawei Y635, but it didn't work.

So, I'd like to ask: Is it possible to suggest a new device OR is there a way to compile a working build from source? I realy would like to use LineageOS. :)

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

since Battery "Problems" are popping up left and right, and i found myself putting out Information mostly based on "observations and gut feelings", i thought it's time to make this scientific.

I plan on making detailed measurements in varying states and with various Apps installed. I want to kick this thread off to get some input on what methodology you'd use, want you want tested and what you think in general about this idea.

The current plan is the following:

establish a Baseline for both, Screen on and Screen off

This would be OOS, latest stable, right after Setup without google signed in. No Wifi, no other settings changed. Screen on with a 100% white background to compare for AMOLED Black screen saving.

Those Baselines would be a 100% Score. Every change would be normalized to this percentage.

Varying Settings for SoT:

All Black Screen

Video Playing

Ebook Reading

Varying Setting for Standby drain

Wifi On/Off

Bluetooth Connected

4G/2G difference

For measuring drain, two tools are used: BBS and Battery Historian. Any physical, direct measurements are out of the question, because it would render my phone unusable ;) Using the same tools for all variations should make them comparable.

Since Standby drain can be sub .5% per hour, getting accurate measurements takes time. So, i suggest taking a sample of close to 4 hours for standby drain and 1 hour for Screen on drain. Everything gets then normalized to %/hr. I'll start making a excel chart for all those values.

I'll take a Nandroid of the Baseline setting. After every Test, the phone gets recharged to 100%, then restored from Nandroid Backup. After that, the necessary changes are made and measurements take place. This should give every change a equal starting ground.

I started with some testing today, but, as stated above, those things take time. So, expect the first results close to the weekend. Until then, every input on methodology or variables for testing would be greatly appreciated.

The goal is, to make a comprehensive list on what you can expect certain settings to drain. That way, we can all determine wether the values we are seeing are normal or not. This would also help verify new Software versions for improvements.

Please note, that i'd rather leave the testing to myself. I do encourage you do check the values i find and report them here, but for my spreadsheet, i won't include them. A phone has to many Variables to make sure you're running the exact same setup i do (network connectivity, wireless, BT, Accounts set up, Sync Settings, Apps Installed). Since i expect differences between some variables to be close to or under .1%, it's crucial to have a perfectly controlled environment.

That's it for now. I'll report back with the first Baseline Readings as soon as they're done. Until then, Hit me with your ideas :good:
