[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Well I went to Oxford Street branch of the experience store and all I can say is what a poor experience it was. No replacement stock available even though they were actively selling them to new customers and after I rang yesterday asking if they could exchange it.

Apple wannabees that's all Samsung are.

Phone still not exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Lee82UK:
I feel your pain mate. Disgraceful customer service.

Its thursday, so I should have had the emails from UPS informing me of a collection/delivery tomorrow but guess what!? Nothing. So Samsung lied, AGAIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I kinda understand that they want to sell phones they have but customer loyalty is how Apple got to where they are. Still a big difference between Samsung and Apple.

Why would they expect stock to come in then fail to deliver? Very poor approach.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
So now it transpires that there is stock, but only for new business. Therefore I've ordered a new device and will return the faulty one under the 30 day return policy. Stupid.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
Hello guys, and girls, I tried to search for this issue I'm facing, but no luck at all and it's getting quite annoying:

At night when I go sleep I leave my phone turned on while disabling wifi and 4g connection to avoid WhatsApp notifications at night.

After installing latest B182 version in my MHA-L29 Mate9 I'm facing weird battery drains as you can see in screenshots. At first I didn't notice, but looks like WhatsApp is consuming like hell when no connection is available.

Right now I have the dual application option turned on because of 2 sim cards and had until this morning the "ignore battery opt." granted to avoid (even if it seems ok after B182) the clone app issue not making receive notifications.

Attached pictures show a massive battery drain after I went sleep and then a normal battery consumption while I turned it on.

From 21:47 till 22:47 WhatsApp is using 22mAh (normal use while connected to wifi), instead from 2:17 till 3:17 (display off and no connection) it shows a 352mAh usage!!

Any ideas? It's getting really annoying because I want leave it turned on in case of emergency but afraid I won't be able to get morning alarm ring.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] indy1369:
Do you have a wifi search turned on even if the wifi is turned off? Same as 4G data .
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
Hello, I have wifi turned off and default settings, looking at screenshots it says that Wifi is on and that's strange indeed. But I see no wifi search and it doesn't make sense if it's turned off. Also it used to work fine until B182 update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Search in settings for wifi and Bluetooth scanning and turn them off,they are in location settings.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
Done, still I don't get why is causing issues when it used to be working fine. I'll let you know if it works, only thing left is understanding why whatsapp is draining battery like that.

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
2 whatsapp is known to drain battery and if you disable data or wifi, whatsapp still scan to get data and that drain more battery,so better to keep data on and maybe force whatsapp to close when screen is off?just try not sure.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Alta1r:
You could enable 'do not disturb mode (manually or automatically) so you can leave data and Wi-Fi on and not be disturbed by notifications. It's in the settings menu.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mR.fR34ky:
Turn wifi scanning off, leave your data on overnight and put the phone into do not disturn mode. You can close whats app manually before your go to bed. Also wifi scanning will turn on if you click ok for the propt which says google will needto use your location or what. (ofc gps is turned on) some app require it like tinder on 4g...... LOL
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
Yeah I know about that, but that's not an option. As I said it always used to work fine. So to me it's a strange behaviour as it is right now and it doesn't make sense at all that an app using a connection keeps draining like that when no connection is available and uses quite no battery at all when screen on and connection available.

What I mean is that I want undersand why it's not working anymore rather than looking for workarounds.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
No luck, I did another hard reset + cache partition wipe and disabled wifi/bluetooth ocnnection for apps and indeed it didn't show wifi as connected when it wasn't but still getting battery drain from whatsapp, don't really get what's wrong now and why it was ok before B182
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Sho-Bud:
I agree, I use the automatic 'Do not disturb' setting and it works great. Highly recommended. You can whitelist some important contacts, so they can still call you.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
So you agree that there is a bug. Do notizie disturb IS non an option to me
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Sho-Bud:
I just received a newer version of WhatsApp, it might fix some bugs. I haven't noticed a problem with WhatsApp, because I always have a dataconnection, but I trust you that there is a bug. I don't know if that bug is in the Huawei firmware or in WhatsApp. You can try to get support from WhatsApp.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
Tried everything but no results, it looks like it's happening only with whatsapp, but just after installing B182, I'll install viber to check how it works with no connections to be sure to make whatsapp the culprit as not compatible with last firmware release. Kinda frustrating to be honest, I'm thinking about taking a flight and not be able to watch a movie because of battery drain
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Sho-Bud:
As a workaround for your flight, you may try to use the ultra battery saving mode, and add your video player as an available app in this mode. It should kill all other apps. I never tried it myself, but it may work until there is a better solution.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] UnderXP:
Hi, I have this problem too. Whatsapp is draining batt at night.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
Which version? B182?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] UnderXP:

I have 2 sims, activated Whatsapp twins app. I use airplane mode at night.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
I'm on B182 dual sim. I only disable WiFi and 4g at night. Viber and hangout are working properly. Whatsapp is draining battery. I already sent a couple mails to whatsapp support but no answer yet. I guess it's whatsapp issue right now
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Lukko_83:
Ciao, I'm using same phone Mate 9 (italian) / dual sim / B182 / double app for whatsapp and getting exactly same issue.

Never noticed until went abroad and kept phone for a while without any connection, when a connecton /wi-fi or mobile is always available the battery drain is normal, but when it has no connection available, in flight mode as well, it's getting very hot in back/upper side and draining battery superfast.

I tried to disable several things such as automatic updates for Android system or wi-fi search but no results, and I have found too that the cause is whatsapp, clearly a bug.

Only workaround working so far is going in the battery menu and stop manually whatsapp by the high battery consumption list. After this manual disable, battery consumption goes fine. In facts, although I have disabled in the whatsapp app the possibility to keep the app running in background and selected to close at screen lock, it's staying there and draining battery like hell. I also tried to cancel the whole whatsapp data and re-login but nothing changed, I still haven't tried to re-install but I guess it's pointless as well.

However this is just a workaround, I'll try to write to whatsapp support and get their comment. I tried alreasy with Huawei technical support before having so much details and their help was very general, just recommended to do battery test (battery is perfect, in normal conditions I can get 2 days duration with heavy usage) and to reset the phone (I can't see how this would help).

Keep you posted as soon as I have some news.

The battery problem is a result of another problem. Can you check if you also suffer from this memory problem? Check settings - App - Whatsapp - storage

Have exactly the same symptom, storage consumption raises as hell and battery drains. I will try to contact Huawei support (if able)

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] nthorst:
Thats too bad... Will you send your phone?

I emailed them today with problem description.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] moscatomarco:
No way. I would have to reset it and don't have another mobile. Also it's something they can perfectly replicate with a brand new phone. It's just a mistery how it's not a reknown problem
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Jinx:
I think I have the same problem. Using a Huawei P9 dual sim.

Both sims are active and Whatsapp is using twin app.

Everything works fine until I put the phone in flight mode (before the flight).

At that moment I can see the whatapp notification on the top of the screen flashing rapidly, which doesn't look normal.

The phone gets real hot and uses a lot of battery power.

I also tried to turn off flight mode, and just disable both sims and disable WiFi. Same effect, whatsapp goes crazy.

When I disabled the twin app mode, it worked fine again. There is a problem with Whatsapp using twin app in flight mode.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] lucas_abc:
Solved!

For me the situation is solved!

I have a Huawei P10 dual sim with dual WhatsApp. I noticed a very poor battery life (with minimal usage a standby-time of half a day), and when entering flight mode my phone would heat up and empty a full battery within three hours. When disabling Twin App the problem would fully disappear.

Yesterday I got an OTA software update (VTR-L29C432B171), which didn't mention anything about twin app or battery life in the release notes. After the update I got a notification for a few seconds saying "Updating Twin app...", and now the problem seems to be gone! Entering flight mode now gives me a horizontal line in the battery stats instead of a vertical line :)

I'll have to wait a while to see what my standby-time does with usage of course. I do actively notice that the phone is cooler now if I just pick it up from the table when it's not in use.

Hello.

I would like to re-flash an Irulu tablet with the correct firmware, and I cannot see the screen. :(

I purchased an 9 inch Irulu Tablet, S/N: JX944FT1703171E#0135, running Kitkat .4.something.

I tried to update the firmware, but something has gone wrong (I may not have the correct file), and now I cannot see the screen well enough to be able to use it. I have tiny bars of colours and lines on either side of the screen, but the centre is black. :o

The device is unrooted (I was getting to that), does not have an HDMI port, and only has a microUSB port. My Win7 machine detects the device via USB as a media device.

I have tried to “factory reset” from the recovery screen, and “update via USB”, but I can’t see what the error messages are.

I cannot enable USB debugging. Pheonix Suit Flash Tool cannot find the device. From “CMD->Platform Tools->ADB devices”, I am getting the “adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (36)”. :confused:

I have contacted Irulu, and asked them to point me in the direction of the correct firmware file for my tablet, but I do not know how I will be able to flash it with being able to see the screen.

To anyone that replies to this:

Thank you for your time.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Hello, everyone!

I watched few reviews about the phone...And really sorry to say it but I'm not much impressed, but I definitely will upgrade to from htc one m8. Big htc fan here :D . I like the style, screen, colours ..Can't really say about the camera probably will be good.The new sound should be awesome + the headphones... But when come to the software..... For one year they didn't touch the sense? Really ? Even TouchWiz is changing, can't understand why htc decided to stay at sense 8, or like is now just "HTC Sense UI" . In the whole review, I generally see - The colours, squeeze (I think they too much depending on this new feature which we still didn't know how it will work after month or two of using it), How google OK works :D that was fun tho , wasn't working the first few times :D:D and the 3d sound...And exactly how they said - simple. And I wasn't disappointed like this from quite long time .I expected something more "brilliant". They just made a review on software app - the edge stuff, htc companion and OK Google :D They even didn't mention htc sense, which didn't move much from 2015. Isn't this little bit pathetic to you? I want to hear your thoughts on that. Did you expect more, like me? Anyway, I'm still considering buying it when the sales start in my region.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Well having been able to hold it in my hands and play with it for a few hours I can say the following:

First of I really like the Edge Sense feature as it worked really well on my review unit. In combination with a deeply integrated Goggle Assistant and Amazon Alexa it will be a well done upgrade if new ways of using your phone. Sense has made a large step in the last year and continues in debloating with regard to reducing HTC Apps that are redundant to Google Apps, as well as tweaks regarding performance done under the hood, and last but not least integration of the above mentioned Edge Sense.

Camera is top notch, achieving highest DxOMark - 90 Points - rating of a Smartphone thus far.

Audio has come one step further as well. Only thing to name here, as it will already suffice, is the implementation of Active Noise Cancellation with the In-Ear Headphones coming in the box, and USB-C-to-3.5mm-adapter that brings an integrated Amplifier as well an an 24bit DAC.

The display, though some might dislike the design of the front, has really deep blacks and good colours - especially if compared to an AMOLED.

Ah and IP67 of course is a great step forward.

Those are just my 2 cent of a first impression coming from a personal hands on. Mire will follow once I receive the U11 myself and go to some more time to play.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] jpmiv:

anyone listened to the headphones is it the same loudness of of htc 10 ?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Huge ugly bezels and only 71.4% screen to body ratio.

Looks very much like a pixel from the front which had a very "dated" look from the front and that was months ago in 2016. This being 2017 now this large bezeled design looks even more outdated.

HTC failed in this aspect and really should have shrunk the bezels and made the screen larger as 5.5" is just too small and large bezels are an eyesore.

Other than that the phone seems really great on paper to me and has some very desriable specs.

Which colour did you pick. I went for black. Thought of ordering the Amazing Silver but they didn't have it at my carried in Germany. Those two colours are the most gorgeous ones in my eyes. Maybe black is better as on silver you can see fingerprints a lot better than on the black one. Guess this would get me on my nerves by the time anyway.

And the glas, as well as the metal edge are feeling really good in hands. Was a warm day when I used it this first time, and it had a good grip even with my sweaty hands. There was no time it felt slippery to me.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] SOCOM-HERO:
I'm excited to see how the device does irl, I never pre-order. The echo dots are cool, but I don't think I will use them much. Also concerned about charging and using headphones at the same time. I do that at work and on flights. I might wait for the note 8, but that is a long way off and will probably be a huge phone.

For the money, I think the U11 is the best bang/buck combo, especially because it is unlocked, will have custom roms and all kinds of tweaks that this great community will use.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] tkoreaper:
Get out of here Sammy fanboy. My current HTC 10 is 5.2" and it's not small by any means. I couldn't care less about the bezels on this device or mine... I'll take them over the gimmicky curved edges that cause a slew of annoyances and functionality issues. I had the S8 for a week and I took that crap back and gladly paid the $50 restock fee.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yeah im honestly not a huge fan of the edge screens either ..gotten used to it but would prefer a flat screen for sure.

And just because 5.2 isnt small to you automatically means that everyone should think the same?
