[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] childoftheworld:
Mate 8, L29C636B585. Noticing a larger than normal battery drain on the Nougat version of Huawei's EMUI. Not sure if this is and issue for Google or Huawei. I already uninstalled apps that I have constantly monitored to be BIG drainers. and I also tried to tweak mobile data access and many more to see which app is really killing my phone. Been at it for 3 weeks now, still on the hunt.

Anyone have a similar experience on their Mate 8? L29C636B858 variant.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachletter:
On B585 now, I only get about 5-6 hours screen on time and barely get through one day with medium-high usage.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] childoftheworld:
B858?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachletter:
typo. you typed it wrong too.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] childoftheworld:
K. my bad. I see it to be as L29C636B585?

I'm retesting.

I got mine from FF because I noticed that L29C636B563 was experiencing the same issue I am having today 4-5 weeks after the update (Official OTA from Huawei) arrived on my phone.

My issues probably started the week of 10 June to 18 June, well after I've had L29C636B563...

The following apps may or will rise up to the top of the list of battery suckers and they happen at random most of the time, mostly too just after taking the phone out from the charging state:

Google Play Services

Calendar

Chrome

Gmail

And other essential apps....

I'll have good battery and see that I still have 30% left, then after 30 minutes at the dinner table... I'd be surprised that my phone suddenly died. This is around 11pm at night.

Anyway, I decided to install L29C636B585 (v84268 FullOTA-MF). I think something went wrong with this firmware update because I did not experience the 9 or 10 MFs that was more apparent in (v84265 OTA-MF).

This was just last Monday I think. First install, my battery was still draining crazily. After the first update to L29C636B585 (v84268 FullOTA-MF). I just restored everything from my Google Account. I did this twice.

A few days ago, I decided to do a full clean install so I processed my third wipe but this time, I started clean. Nope. Something is wrong here! Battery is still draining like CRAZY!

So. around Wednesday this week. I wonder what L29C636B585 (v84265 OTA-MF) is all about. Each package downloaded is less tha 600MB, and after the 9th or 10th prompt, the total MF package size came to 4.5GB and it installed.

After that, I just rebooted.

I noticed that a lot of times (just a 2 day period here), the battery usage would start to steady itself after an initial drain my Google Play Services or some crazy system app. No, it is not an app I installed. Maybe an app that Google Updated like Google Play Service or the Google App (with the Google Assistant).

Prior to updating to Nougat 7.0, I was happy at L29C636B321, the best most stable EMUI for my Mate 8 yet.

Why does Google release Beta Software to unknowing Beta Testers??!?

Yesterday from 4pm to 10:20pm, my battery went from 77% to 62%, that's pretty low usage??! I was also up and about that time. What happened? That's 15% drain in 6 hrs and 20 mins. The battery drain is still not consistent. Not as consistent as my L29C636B321.

That one would have a steady drain, averaging between 3% to 4% on moderate use.

So now... what?? I just installed Doze (for android) again and maybe it will force Google Play Services to doze once in a while since that essential service is exempt from any battery power saving mode.

Uhm :cyclops: :confused:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachletter:
Yes, mine is L29C636B585. While the 5-6 hours screen on time I get seemed low for this phone (could be normal battery wear?), I did not experience the crazy screen-off drain you reported. My battery usage list seem normal with android system being the biggest juice sucker.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] childoftheworld:
:( Very unhappy with Nougat 7.0 (EMUI 5.0) L29C636B563 and L29C636B585, both are BUGGED to death. The biggest being the BATTERY DRAIN

I wonder if these 2 posts have any bearing at all:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh21H3qTbx4&feature=youtu.be

Basically remove (make Not Allowed):

GeofenceService

HwLBSService

In "Ignore Battery Optimization".

Wonder what these 2 services are for? What happens if you remove them from Battery Optimization, i.e., allow them to be optimized.

My Samsung Galaxy Tablet running Android 4.4.2 seems to be a far better version of Android than whats on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. Because at least I don't also, have to carry around with me a note book and pen, so I can store, all extra contact details I need for my contacts. And not just the one lousy phone number the stupid Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, allows me to have. Like. All of my contacts have residential street addresses. And some have more more than one contact phone number. And a lot also have email addresses, ad even web addresses. But the not so smart stupid Samsung Galaxy S4 doesn't permit me to anything other than just one lousy contact phone number per contact.

My Samsung Galaxy Tablet's operating system also came with a built in Note app. I'm still searching for one on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. No wonder people prefer to buy and use Iphones
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] coincoinlapin:
Righto, so just a quick word for those who can switch from edge to 3G+, do it asap! The speed is just unbelievable. My phone provider is just testing the hsdpa network over Paris (and other large French cities) and it feels even faster than my 28gb adsl connexion! I guess this is because mobile webpages are optimized for small dl and that only few of us have access to the technology yet so it's not yet a cluttered network :p

Now I obviously need an unlimited data plan with such speed! My 50MB a month for 20€ just don't cut it anymore...but unlimited for 70€ is a lot too much for me :D

Later dudes, WooooSh (hsdpa sound effect)

Eng: By the way for those interested, Bouygues Telecom doesn't list all their data plans on the net, you have to CALL them :)

FR: Au fait, tous les forfaits data de Bouygues ne sont pas sur le site, il faut les APPELLER (ça s'appelle Data pocket, et y'a 15mo / mois, 50, 100mo ou illimité mais ça douille) :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:
I've had the opposite experience.

I can only get 1.2 mbit/s out of the tytn ii.

Sure, surfing mobiles websites is fast. Surfing real websites or downloading files ain't fast though.

It's also slow when used as a modem for my laptop (same issue, stuck at 1.2 mbps).

(And oh yeah, I've tried other hdspa sollutions here, I can usually max out at 5 mbps but the tytn ii maxxed out at 1.2 mbps)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drdingo21:
Because 1.2 mpbs is so slow.

UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS

If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jay_h_jacob:
I recently purchased the S8 Plus [SM-955FD], because I got tired of waiting for root. I am selling my SM-G955U T-Mobile. I flashed the TWRP file for SM-G955F and the phone went into a bootloop (stuck at Samsung Logo and wasn't turning off). It kept saying the phone could not be verified and keep looping.

At this point, I had nothing to lose so I downloaded this file from CF-Auto-Root website: samsung SM-G950F dreamltexx dreamlte universal8895 exynos5	NRD90M.G950FXXU1AQDG	7.0Download 32f539743cd2959c42120ab4cf34a870. The zipped file had another version of Odin [Odin3-v3.10.6.exe] than the one I used to flash the TWRP. I flashed the CF-Auto-Root file using the Odin version [Odin3-v3.10.6.exe] it came with. I was pleasantly surprised that it fixed the bootloop and rooted the phone. Using the same Odin version, I flashed TWRP again and it worked. So, I have a rooted S8 Plus and life is good. It will be better when I sell the T-Mobile version.

The SM-G955FD is working well with the T-mobile network - LTE speed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] robbinh00d:
You may be able to do that trick where you install the earlier BL from AQFL or something like that which allows you to get Odin to flash the full stock firmware again. I had a similar issue. Search around for how to fix the Odin Flash Fail. I posted a link to download the BL file. Then you have to do some trickery while booting to Download Mode on the phone and simultaneously spamming the start button in Odin. Sorry, i'm at work so cant spend too much time here. lol.

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Empzurg:
My p9000 is currently on 20160810 and I'm unable to do the OTA update to 20170112, every time it downloads and starts to install it just stays on "rebooting" but does nothing.

On top of that I've tried to connect it up to a PC to flash it instead (was looking to try Nougart), I've managed to succesfully install the drivers but whatever PC I plug it into when powered off the PC recognises it for a few seconds and then disconnect again. So I have no device in device manager to try to play with the drivers, although as I mentioned I have already installed them sucessfully.

Should also mention I can't hard reset it with the power and voulume+ option either, as unable to enter recovery.

I've tried with Windows 7/8.1/10 all with the same result. The only difference is on the windows 7 machine it recognises it as the mtx65preloader device for a split second.

But to confuse things now more, on my windows 8.1 device the elephone is no longer recognised as a storage device, it shows as a connected device but there is no access to the drive.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Hexyl:
The only way to go to the newer 2017 versions of the stock roms (nougat or marshmallow) is to use spflashtools. It is because elephone broke the recovery in 2016810. So when you try to update it will fail because the stock recovery is broken.

Have you disabled the driver signature in windows 10/ 8/ 7 before installing the mtk drivers? Else the installation will fail and you won't have the drivers installed​ at all.

I used this tutorial and it works for me on windows 10.

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Empzurg:
Drivers were all installed fine, but the strangness continued today but for the good. On the Windows 7 machine I managed to flash the Nougart rom and now all is working great. So after days of nothing working it just suddenly decide to co-operate.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Fabioamd87:
with a "broken" recovery, isn't dangerous to do any update operations? if something get corrupted how can you resolve?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Hexyl:
You simply can't do an ota update if the phone has a broken recovery. It won't install because it fails booting in the recovery. So nothing goes corrupted.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Fabioamd87:
no I mean if the flash fails how you can recover without a working recovery mode?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Empzurg:
Well mines been working without a problem for the past week, quite impressed with it.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Hexyl:
Then try to Flash again. As far as I know the stock recovery can't restore backups. It is for installing ota updates and etc, I think. If you want to backup your ROM then flash a custom recovery with sp flashtools.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Fabioamd87:
Can I flash again if the first flash fails? from where I do it , there is some kind of "download mode/fastboot"? Do I need to root the phone to flash a custom recovery?

thanks
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Hexyl:
I assume you have never installed a ROM/recovery before on your phone (with a mediatek soc). In that case, you flash your phone with a PC. You flash the phone with a program called "sp flashtools".

So the very first time you want to install a CUSTOM ROM/recovery. ---> use sp flashtools.

If you already have a custom recovery installed ----> boot the phone up in recovery (holding power button and volume +. If elephone logo appears, release power button but keep pressing volume +) and install custom ROM from there.

If you want to flash a STOCK rom ( nougat or marshmallow) -----> use sp flashtools.

You do not need a rooted phone for flashing a custom recovery.

For sp flashtools tutorials etc, look it up on XDA or just Google some spflashtool tutorials. The steps are the same for most mtk phones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r&xp:
Hello... I quoted you there because I wanted to ask... What do you mean there? You were unable to install a stock rom? If yes then it is very possible that your file structure may by corrupt.

Also... By which method did you try to install the "clean" rom? If you just tried to flash a clean rom, say from recovery, chances are the installation would fail. You must either use SP flashtool, Odin or other similar programs to get a clean installation and correct filesystem structure...

Don't really know what else to say for the moment, please share a little more info if you wish.

(ps. how about other application installations, not originating from google store? Do they install, or are they giving you a hard time also???)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3nSter:
Hi.LOS 14.1 ROM stock kernel. It was installed through TWRP after wiping everything.Firstly I thought that since F2FS is a log based file system,my cache may be full but that was not the case . It's odd that on the first boot,I have no problems installing from the store but after 1 reboot, the bug occurs. And the applications that are not originating from the store,I have no problems installing them.I have Adaway and this time I thought if I install it and modify my hosts file,it will cause the problem but that wasn't the case either.
