[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
OEM updates usual ruin the performance. That's my experience.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmulli:
I've tried numerous 7.1.2 custom Nougat roms and have recently gone back to stock 5.2 and have to say that the device works a lot better.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
70% of statistics are made up. ;)

After the 5.2 update, my K1 is running a bit smoother/faster than before. Particularly screen rotation, opening keyboard, opening apps & going back to home screen.

Battery life is as it was before the update.

One of the previous updates (5.1?) similarly improved performance a bit.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Experiences will vary. But that goes with just about any software change, be it an OEM update, custom ROM, kernel, etc. For every person that says the performance, battery, etc. is better; there will be another that says it's worse.

There are lots of variables in how you use the device, what apps, etc.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
That is the placebo effect. ;)

I can only speak for my own experience. Why fix something that isn't broken?

Oh yeah! Newer version number. And there must be something better about it then. Maybe more ads, or more data tracking.. who knows? Well, the devs know.^^
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Security updates, for one thing.

As for ads and data tracking, you're making up problems that don't even exist.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
So the device wasn't secure to begin with?

In essence, I could blame the OEM when I got hacked? Really?

Quite frankly, that's yet another excuse to make people more gullible. 1984 all the way..

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Royk14:
Hello,

I have an Oppo Find 7 for a while and I always thought that the Color OS is not very good, and specially, it comes with a very limiting partition division.

So, when I could no longer decide on which Apps to keep and which to uninstall, since I had no longer space left on my phone due to the stupid small partition for applications, I decided to format my phone, reconfigure the partitions and install a new ROM (CM 13).

I had done it often on my lapton, how difficult could it be to do it on the phone?

It all seemed to work fine, but when I started my "new" phone with CM I noticed that something was wrong. I tried to use the camera and it showed an error saying I did't have a storage device.

Well, I was sure I had left enough space for photos in the other (not OS) partition, and I had also the SD card.

I went to Settings->Storage and I saw that my phone was recognising the OS partition only (about half of all internal storage) and had a portable storage device called "sdcard0" (not the actual SD card) reading "Damaged" below.

I've tried to erase and format that partition, but it shows an error reading "command '41 volume partition disk: 179_0 public' failed with '400 41 Command failed'".

I've tried to rearrange the partitions again, to reinstall CM13, but nothing worked, so I just accepted that my phone could not take pictures. Everything that did't require to have a file system worked fine (well, I cannot see the naked ladies pictures my friends share on whatsapp). This was a few months ago, so I don't remember precisely what I did.

Recently I decided that I actually need a phone that takes pictures, so I went back to trying to fix it.

Unfortunately, I can't. At least without some custom help. I've read plenty of tutorials, forum pages, but there's always something that doesn't work in my case.

Here's what I can do with my phone:

- It boots

- It works

- Computer recognises it

- adb recognises

Here's what I can't do:

- Have any files (the file system is broken)

- Take photos

- Restart with bootloader - when I tried, the screen just shows a sitting penguin for a few seconds and then turns off. I do remember to be able to do so, but I can't now.

I've tried to load bootloader though the phone's interface, through the power+volume down button combination and through adb. They all had the same result. The stupid penguin and then darkness.

Can someone help me?

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] kayncz:
Hey all,

there is probably nothing new for you that the long-running application consuming some bigger amount of power are killed after some time on Huawei P10 (and on other Huawei/Honor phones using EMUI). I use Runkeeper for example and it's always killed after some time (1-3 hours). I tried those:

Settings > Battery > "gear icon" > "Close excessively power-intensive apps" > Off

Settings > Battery > Lock screen cleanup > "Don't close Runkeeper app"

Apps > Settings > Special access > Ignore battery optimization > "Allow Runkeeper app"

I tried to kill "Power Genius" system app. I tried to kill "imonitor" system app but it's started again in a while

I tried to open the recent applications and lock the application by a padlock.

There is nothing more I could try. Still the same issue. So my question is if there is some workaround for that even when I would have to root my phone.

Thanks!!
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Try to Open the recent application and click the lock icon to keep the application from being killed.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] altimemi:
Same probleam with me cant fix
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] kayncz:
It seems that the only workaround for that is to buy a big powerbank and keep a phone charging all the time you are running a power-instensive app. Then the app is not killed.

I hate Huawei. They do not reply to my mails and a support does not work. This bug should be fixed for a phone like P10.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] M1chiel:
I had a similar problem with Strava. After an hour or so it was killed. Hopefully the issue gets solved in the B164 version.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] kayncz:
I hope that also. The option to turn off this aggressive behavior is in the settings but it obviously doesn't work. I'm pretty sad that I didn't find any way how to report this bug to Huawei. I just got an anwser from Czech 1st level support that I can complain about it to a seller. I hope that they know about this bug and they are going to fix it. It's already 3rd update and this bug is still there.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Mavser:
Did it get fixed?

I’m currently looking into buying a new phone, and I came across the P10 and fairly quickly this issue caught my attention - I’m not going to buy a phone that automatically kills the programs I want to have running, so does anyone know if this got fixed? :)

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapfunk:
Hi,

I have an HTC M9 with firmware version 1.32.15 , unlocked bootloader, S-OFF.

Can I go straight to 3.xx or 4.xx ? (Or only to 3.xx because 3->4 is only possible via OTA?)

Or is this risky? I tried to read all the ReadMes, but still not sure about this :confused:

And I want to flash LineageOS 14 after upgrading the firmware - do I have to do it at the same time?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
The answer depends on the method with which you want to update your firmware. RUUs contain the full firmware that belongs to their corresponding version so that you can skip older ones. OTAs and the official firmware packs that get extracted from them on the other hand are incremental so that it's not safe to skip one of them. And with S-OFF (like in your case) you can directly use one of the custom made full firmware packs (which unlike a RUU don't contain a rom/system) for firmware 4.x since they're not encrypted.

The new encryption keys prevent you from flashing a 4.x RUU on a 3.x (or lower) firmware and vice versa. Flashing a non-encrypted file (OTAs or custom made firmware packs) isn't a problem, though.

Unless you use a custom firmware pack (the pack is custom made not the firmware - that one is official) you can flash Lineage whenever you want. However, if you use a custom firmware pack then you need to directly flash a rom via TWRP or the phone won't boot since (as mentioned above) those packs don't contain a system/rom.

Nevertheless, you should never flash GSM files on a CDMA device or vice versa. The partition layouts differ between those two technologies and you'll damage your phone (if you're unlucky unrecoverably) by doing so.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapfunk:
Hi Flippy,

thanks for your answer.

I forgot to specify, my phone is GSM (SKU 771).

If I understand right from Sneakyghosts' firmware flashing guide, RUUs are not an option because they only get released for US models.

And the OTA approach seems very painful as I'm coming from 1.xx and want to go all the way to 4.xx .

So I guess I would go with one of the custom full firmware packs linked in Sneakyghost's post.

Some more questions so I can understand the risks better:

Does that mean the phone would be bricked? Or still be able to boot into the bootloader, recovery and/or download mode?

Could I also go with a NoWipe ZIP instead of a FullWipe ZIP and then flash Lineage?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Did you take a look at the ReadMe thread? If I'm not mistaken then you'll find some 771 RUUs there. I don't think that Sneakyghost provides 771 packs so that you would need to change your CID and flash a pack for a different SKU if you choose this method.

Yes, that would mean that the device is soft bricked. But a soft brick is recoverable since bootloader, download mode, etc are still accessible. You just aren't able to boot the system since there is none. Only hard bricks are bricks that you need to worry about.

Of course you can use a NoWipe pack but there's no benefit in doing so. You'll loose all data anyway since you need make a full wipe in twrp before you flash lineage since the stock rom you're currently using is sense-based and lineage isn't. The exact difference between the two types of firmware packs (full wipe vs. no wipe) is explained somewhere in Sneakyghost's thread.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapfunk:
Thank you for clarifying. Yes there is one 771 RUU in the ReadMe Thread, but it's a 3.xx .

So changing the CID to get a newer firmware version seems worth it :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Of course you can change your SKU if you want to.

However, you don't need to change it for getting android 7. Since OTAs are independent from RUUs the fact that there is no 4.x RUU for 771 doesn't mean that there is no OTA, yet. And even if there was a 4.x RUU you wouldn't be able to flash it due to the new encryption keys. You would still need to flash the 3.x RUU and then to install the 4.x OTA.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapfunk:
right, got confused with RUU vs. custom firmware packs (where it would be possible to go straight to 4).

I will report what I end up doing and maybe ask for more advice... thank you!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapfunk:
I flashed a NoWipe package (4.14.401.7 from Sneakyghost download section), then Lineage 14.1 and OpenGapps 7.1

NoWipe RUU

Hi Lucy,

I used the M9_4.28.401.3_NoWipe_TWRP3100.zip file with GREAT SUCCESS!

I had to change the android-info text first as I was using SKU 502.

I notice that after the install it still showed the old version number in download mode but I continued on to install ViperOneM9 6.2.0

I'm now a proud user of ViperOneM9 6.2.0 !!! Ya-a-a

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
You don't need to change sku, your phone is AT&T which is a GSM one, so you can flash the international firmware.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
If the download mode still shows the old firmware then the flash wasn't successful.

And the SKU gets changed automatically if you flash the international firmware on an AT&T phone since they don't use the same SKU.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lexamundo:
Has Samsung debloating been quantified or are we operating on an 'action bias'? 'I took action so it MUST be effective. I even perceive more battery life !' This happens when we buy cars, golf clubs, computers and maybe when we debloat?

Has anyone compared two identical phones with identical software and shown before and after performance numbers over a significant time-frame? If not, we may be operating on assumption and action bias. This would be an outstanding XDA study and article.

FWIW I use a non-rooted S6, Nougat, and disabled stock apps and processes I don't need via BK Disabler 3 days ago. Can't perceive any improvement in battery. Had no performance issues before debloating and perceive no improvement post-debloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Revontheus:
There are many guides on XDA that advertise the wonders of debloating your device, it's not rocket science really, less apps running in the background and less apps waking up the device from sleep equals more battery life out of your device.

Since you've disabled your apps, you can take it to the next step by reading this Well-known guide on getting the most out of your battery.

Good luck :)
