[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
so it's a rom issue apparently. just flashed screw'd latest build and i am getting charging rapidly. couldn't be happier
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 510jungleboy:
I don't want to blame ROMs for giving phone issues , but the official OEM software that are built for the phone works. Once you modify builds, kernals , etc...the phone will turn out different, thus will have issues. I have been using bone stock 6p since day one. The only issue i had was the 7.1.2 beta lol ...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
Try a different kernel if there is one.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
already moved to Screw'd and all perfect there. no charging issues. just elementalX kernel and top notch.thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I'm on latest stable DU 7.1.2 and haven't noticed a slow charging issue. As for the early shutdown bug someone in this section posted a solution a week or two ago that he claimed worked for him and allowed the battery to go back to draining below 20%. It should be easy enough to find if you look for it. I don't know if it actually works because I haven't experienced that issue either but most people report that the issue does go away if you change the battery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
I have had this problem since 7.1.1 on pure Nexus. I clean flashed to 7.1.2 on pure Nexus yesterday and still not receiving rapid charging. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 510jungleboy:
So you are on OEM stock android OS ? Even using OEM charger ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
As mentioned I'm on pure Nexus Rom. I'm using stock charger. Have tried my spare charger and backup cables too. Could it be a port issue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
I went back to stock and had the same problem. It's detecting my max USB output at 1500 which is weird. I've tried 2 official chargers and cables.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
In the example above, your device was at 99% charge level where ANY charger will be trickle charging. The charging circuitry only allows max current between ~0-20%, so drain your phone and try Ampere again. See the charging curve graphic here under "Charge Time". I can get 2.7 or 2.8A using the stock charger when completely discharged. Also noted in the article is that your battery will continue to take current for up to an hour after reporting 100% because the 6P is notorious for mis-reporting it's actual state. So you take your phone off the charger thinking it is full when it is far from it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
I am aware of the high percentage. The issue is that nexus 6p should show usb charging current of 1800mah but mine is showing 1500
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
mAh is a measure of capacity, not current which is a rate. The 6P will show widely varying current (amps) depending on what percentage the battery is full, per the charging curve I linked. I just said you should be expecting much more than 1.8A (1800 mA) when fully discharged. If you are using the stock wall charger C-to-C you should expect to see 2.7 to 2.8A current only when fully discharged, and less than 1A after 80%. You will always be disappointed if you are expecting a constant charging rate. See the curve, and take your measurements again when your battery is fully discharged. If you still have an issue, then use Accubattery to test your battery's capacity (mAh) against the design capacity.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
I am aware of all of this and appreciate your help. I know from my phone when discharged I will get no more than 1100mAh shown in Ampere. My observation pertains to the USB current section in ampere which shows 1800 on a fully working 6p no matter the charge. For some reason mine is now only showing 1500, no matter the charger or cable I use, even if I clean flash back to stock android.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Get another app. If (as you say) Ampere is showing a constant charge rate at 0, 25, 50, 75, 95% then it is misleading and wrong. Accubattery will test your battery's capacity for degradation as a possible charging deficiency. It will also give you a constant readout of charging amps to compare with Ampere, and it (Accubattery) varies similarly to the charging curve. Battery degradation is probably the number one issue with the N6P, next to BLOD. Check your battery capacity and report back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
Thanks will do.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
This is from last night. FYI I don't get "charging rapidly" anymore even when using stock charger and cables.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropical cactus:
I think there's a problem with fast charging on 7.1.2. Using accubattery, you sometimes see fast and at times slow charging with original charger. On stock rom.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
Here's from 0%
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
What is your battery capacity shown on the "health" tab? Accubattery gives a constant readout of charge rate in the notification bar, so you would need to check that while it is charging from empty, not the summary page after it is full.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manalicream:
Attached.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Your battery is in very good shape. Get a couple of "real time" current readings while your device is close to discharged by looking at Accubattery in the notification bar. With the stock charger and C-to-C cable, if you don't see over 2.5A going into the phone, then yes there is something wrong with the charger, the cable, or possibly the device. You could also try inspecting and cleaning the USB port. Despite the thread title, it is has nothing to do with the Android build version.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sefyron:
i have the same problem, did u fixe it guys ??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
Which rom? Which version?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sefyron:

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Tom--:
After switching service provider, and of course change from SIM card, I noticed a huge battery drain, sometimes over 10% per hour when the phone is almost idle. Battery life WAS very good, but now it's quite bad.

I cannot find anything about this, except for some old articles suggesting a faulty SIM card. I don't have other problems. Any suggestions? Anyone who recognizes this problem?

Battery stats is showing Android System (26%) and Phone Idle (20%) as most important battery draining apps.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Halftrack:
It could be the SIM card or it could be the provider. Do you have less bars/signal with the new provider? The only thing that generally causes an idle phone to drain like that is if it's constantly searching to try and pick up a signal. Since the phone was fine before the switch I am willing to bet it's the SIM card. Years ago (LTE was still fairly new) when getting a new phone I had to go through three of them before life was good again. The one that came with the phone was old and outdated so it couldn't pick up a 4G LTE signal. I then went to a store location and they swapped out the SIM card but as luck would have it the ones they had on hand were outdated too. It wasn't until the main office mailed me one that life was all good again.

So yeah try a new SIM card, may want to just call and have them mail you one. Hopefully that helps. If not check what radio bands your new provider uses and compare that to the ones supported on the phone.
[HTC Tornado] highmighty:
hi there, what is the best (free) pdf viewer on sp5m/wm6 smartphone?

thanks

highmighty
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Adobe Reader of course!!!! :D
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
agree! ;)
[HTC Tornado] bukhariwaheed111:
Well i used Adobe LE 2.0 on my sp5m but found it too heavy and difficult to use i believe for viewing text with pictures Adobe is best however for serious text readin i have found Old orneta reader the best.
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
Of course the Foxit Reader with mini-map feature :). Adobe Reader LE is slower.
[HTC Tornado] highmighty:
thanks all!
[HTC Tornado] luchino san:
go for foxit reader ;)
[HTC Tornado] Lokosis:
Glad I found this thread. I can safely say that PocketXpdf is the best one, even though its quite aged. As Foxit costs $, and Adobe doesn't have a 'true' fullscreen mode.
[HTC Tornado] jclampy:
MobileXpdf better than PocketXpdf

Hey that PocketXpdf is getting old now.

Try MobileXpdf instead, supports WM6.x as well! ;)

Installed Nougat 7.0 with Odin after download through SAMFIRM. No problem whatsoever encountered yet, everything works flawlessly. Phone seems little faster. After 4 hours of use also battery use seems little better compared to MM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] geeshiet:
No, everything's working fine. I didn't fresh install. But I did have some battery issues. Device idle and cell stand by are the main battery drainer.

---------- Post added at 22:06 ---------- Previous post was at 21:58 ----------

It's A LOT better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] rekman:
Maybe you already know, but I wanted to mention in case you didn't. After months of looking into cell standby battery drain, the ONLY way I can minimize it down to basically nothing is to be in airplane mode and using wifi/wifi calling. Sad to see that cell standby drain is still an issue with 7.0 though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] geeshiet:
Thanks for the info, I've tried mostly everything but I still couldn't fix the issue.... As of right now I'm on 25% with device idle by being 8% drained about 225 mAh and cell standby being 5% drained 149 mAh.

It might be that I didn't do a fresh install... Since I haven't heard anyone having issues with battery. So I might factory reset in a bit.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenH83:
Hey all, What a great resource this place is..

So, I have a Verizon Galaxy S6 and paid it off completely right before the S8 came out.

I go the S8 and did a factory reset on the S6 to give it to my son to use without service and only use it on WiFi connections.

The phone work 100% fine yesterday prior to the factory reset (Volume Up + Home + Power method).

Now after doing three factory resets, along with clearing the cache twice, I can't seem to get the back button and recent apps buttons to work.

Any thoughts? Also, the SIM card has been removed from the phone if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
Sim card being removed shouldn't make a difference. Seeing as you've hard reset/factory reset the device, the next step is to clean flash the firmware for your phone, so you need to download the Verizon firmware for the s6 and use a software called odin to flash. If you haven't used it before there are many tutorials you can find.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenH83:
Thanks for the reply. I will look into it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
No probs, if you're not sure about using odin or getting the right firmware you can try the emergency restore within samsung smartswitch software.

Hi all

is there any possible way to downgrade ZUK Z2 2.5.334 ST (Chinese) to "M" version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Ned483765:
I am trying to find out how to lower to volume of the phone with using "Ok Google" voice search over Bluetooth. Currently when I click the button on my headset to use "Ok Google" the sound goes BADING!!! It's so loud it blows out my ear drum, now I have to pull it out of my ear due to the sound. I have tried every way I know of to lower the volume. After OK Google completes the voice search and starts a phone call, only then can I use the volume control. As of Nougat 7.0 there was an option added into the Developer Options to Disable Absolute Volume, this seemed to work when I was using custom Roms based on Lineage OS. Enabling that option on my S7-G930W8 seems to have no bearing on the volume of my Bluetooth headset.

Can anyone tell me if they experience the same issue when using the voice search with their Bluetooth headset?

Thank you,

HI GYz AFTER A BIG EXPERIENCE ABOUT PORTING I GOING TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE ABOUT PORTING ANY CUSTOM ROM

BEFORE PORTING YOU NEED SOME TOOLS

or

(needed or any other text editing software )

THATS IT

Now start porting

At fist make two folder take name as port-rom and another folder as stock-rom

Extract the port rom into port-rom folder

now make a folder for Mtk dorid tool or if you are using kitchen then learn how to use kitchen from another thread

Now extract the stock boot,img using kitchen or Mtk droid tool cut every thing extracted into the stock-rom folder

Now extract the port boot.img

copy the stock kernel or zimage into the extracted port boot.img

Now copy the init/uventd.so file from stock boot.img and copy it to port init/ folder and replace it .......

now repack the port boot.img and pest it to port-rom folder and replace it

now boot.img is ported now time too look into meta-inf folder

Open META-INF/com/google/android

And look for updater-script

open it using notepad++

and look for two line format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6", "/system",

"max_batch_time=0,commit=1,data=ordered,barrier=1,errors=panic,nodelalloc");

Change the red marked line according to your device mount point or else use this line

If you are using "/emmc@android" this line then flashing process is

wipe every thing and format dara

reboot to revory and install the zip

Now all doen zip the port rom and install the zip

TADA the Rom ported for your device

Hi Guys,

I have an LG G4 which had a couple of issues, the mobile data would stop working after about one minute and the ringtone doesn't work, even when selecting one. Sounds like a software issue I thought to myself, I'll put a custom ROM on it and all will be well. However I must have missed a step flashing TWRP recovery because when i try and boot into recovery I get an error 1002 message and it boots normally, this means I cant change the recovery or the ROM. The phone is already unlocked.

Any tips for what to trywould be much appreciated.
