[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Michaelandhistab:
Hi guys, my OnePlus 3's battery indicator is stuck on 50%. I think I must have broken the temperature sensor on it when I replaced the screen. The reason I think that is because in TWRP, the CPU temperature reads something like 1648375974799 degrees. I think because the phone thinks my its temperature is too high, so it won't charge my battery. When I unplugged my phone, it will run for a minute and it would run out of battery.

The funny thing is, I've just replaced the battery. When I switched it on, it read 90% and a few seconds later, it went back to 50% again. I just wiped my whole phone and it still reads 50% in TWRP.

I've tried looking at the parts list to see where the temperature sensor is but I couldn't find it. Is it on the mainboard or the sub board on the bottom of the phone?

Cheers!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] morphvale:
I've had similar issues with the Nexus 5 not charging, which was caused by a fake battery (temperature sensor was always reading -30).

Given you've just replaced the battery, it might be the same case. I would first try restoring the original battery, just to rule the new battery out.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Michaelandhistab:
Hey there, thanks for the reply.

My original battery had this problem, so I thought I would be able to fix it by replacing the battery which was not the case. So I'm pretty convinced that I messed up the temperature sensor. Was looking for a way to disable or spoof the temperature sensor, or replacing the component instead of the main logic board which could be quite costly.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] netman911plus:
I'm having the same problem, I was told it is from damaging a super small capacitor that's really easy to knock off. Located right beside the battery connection plug on the main board. only problem is I can't find what the cap size is, to try and replace it. I located the damaged cap no problem and mine is diffently damaged, cracked right in the middle, leading me to believe the info about it being the problem was correct, but the article never gave the replacement info. Anyone possibly know the info for the cap located right beside the battery plug under the screen connection, bottom right corner on the one plus 3 main board?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Macjars:
There are 3 possible solutions for this issue.

1: replace battery.

2: change the ROM for one that changes the Kernel for a version without this temperature protection.

3: fix or replace the main board.

To fix the main board you need to check 2 things on it.

On the left side of the battery connector (under a double sided glue tape foam), there are some SMD. The lowest two are related with this problem. I fix my board resoldering the one on the right (nearest to the connector). Be aware that the SMD is small and when are desoldered, it gets sticked on the double sided glue tape foam. I took a picture of it, but i don't know how to insert here.

Hello,

Does anyone know why some devices have an option to block an incoming number matching some criteria (starts with, ends with, includes) and some don't have this criteria menu? Is it CSC dependant?

firmware version WW_14.2020.1708.56_20170719
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] wang1chung:
I updated to that firmware version when it came out and haven't had any issues like that.

Maybe some lint in the charge port? Or corrosion? Are you using the ASUS charger that came with the phone?

If it happened the very first time you updated to nougat and plugged in your charger, back it up and then downgrade to an earlier nougat release and see if it corrects the issue. Or just try flashing the same firmware on top, maybe it was a bad flash.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] wang1chung:
download the latest N firmware here, edit the update script in the firmware, see this

thread, part 1, step 2-4.

Then copy the firmware to your sdcard and flash it through twrp.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] rsuyogya:
Sorry, but I did the thang the way you mentioned in that thread and above but my device's stuck in bootloop. What's the problem that caused this and will you mind to help me out of this?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] wang1chung:
factory reset after flashing, along with wiping cache and dalvik. You should always wipe cache/dalvik after flashing, it doesn't delete your data, not factory reset and wiping data does.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] rsuyogya:
I did exactly everything like you mentioned above and as well as in the thread. I did cleared the cache after flashing as well but it's still stuck in bootloop. Any solutions to it?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] wang1chung:
try everything I mentioned above except with the first release of nougat here. After you can successfully boot up, flash the second one.

Also, did everything flash ok with no errors? I had a bad download where it would flash the zip no problem but not boot. I re-downloaded it and problem solved. Might want to test the archive first.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] ihacki:
Well, I just got my phone back from ASUS service center. It was a hardware failure for sure and they had to replace some chip(s). I had them downgrade to Android M for me as well.

I've had this phone since Jan 2017 and it failed in Sep 2017, shortly right after upgrading to Android N. Some people had the same hardware issue with Android M as well. Let's give it a few months and see if this will pop-up again - hopefully, still under warranty.

FYI, this is my first and only USB-C device I have. Having read about nightmares about USB-C cables, I don't dare to use any other charger or cable other than the one came with the phone. My Nillkin case has a cover on the charging port - so we can rule out lint and corrosion as well.

Hi,

last week I bought phone Oukitel K6000 Plus and I noticed big issues with autofocus. Every photo is blurred on back camera, on front camera things seems little better with auto-focus. Also I updeatad system to the newest one.

I just want to report bug to Your softwere developers. I'm pretty sure K6000 Plus camera quality is much better but this auto-focus issue makes all photos of near objects look out of focus. Also a lot of customers of K6000 plus around the android forums said same kind of problem.

Have a nice rest of day

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Am I understanding correct that as of yet, the snapdragon version of the note 8 cannot be rooted?

Also, if I am planning on rooting, should I NOT take the current ota update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] imatts:
There may eventually be an engineer-kernel related root maybe 6 months down the road, but it will be super limited and slow.

Also, OTA won't affect root, since an engineer kernel can be flashed over anything (since its for developers to test hardware).

I have the Snapdragon variant as well here in Canada, and I'm selling the phone for full value and will be ordering the F model on Swiftronics when its available (as of now only the FD is up). I'm currently selling it on Kijiji, but if I don't sell it in 5 days, I'm going to drive to Mississuaga to refund it at the Samsung store, and then I'll pop by the Swiftronic retail store which is also conveniently in Mississuaga as well.

Lastly, as you are most likely aware, rooting any Samsung phone will void full warranty 99% of the time, and is NOT covered by any imported variant (anything outside your country regardless of the method of purchase). This includes Swiftronics retail outlet (just got off the phone with them).

So if you really want to keep your warranty, I would suggest waiting for the Snapdragon root, which will most likely keep the warranty and risk having to wait up to a year and have super limited abilities, or sell the phone, get the F variant and lose warranty completely and obtain 100% root access with full kernel/ROM support. I'm personally choosing this option, as I thought I could live without root, but the small things add up and make it impossible for me to live without lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Not so worried about warranty but will this phone never get a full and proper root like every other android phone I've owned?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] douger1957:
You may want to track the history of rooting previous Samsung phones. The short answer is that an unlocked bootloader has been very difficult to achieve on Snapdragon SOCs. Without that, root is a hit or miss.

What are you trying to do that your stock phone can't?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
I didn't get a chance to mess root on the s8 but using the ENG kernel on the s7 edge to get root was horrible. wasn't really worth the trade off IMO. it slowed down the phone, lagged like crazy. even after messing with kernel settings to make it stable it still was slower then stock. I know how important root is to some people but anymore stock with some ADB mods is OK with me. I wish I had root to debloat my phone some on the stock TMO firmware(unlocked firmware loses to many features) but it is what it is for now.

My friends worship me better when i have root, since we all have the same phone, and they see what i can do after root, i charge $50 for root and $75 to install rom, $150 w/root/rom/complete debloatation!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
Every phone that I have owned that had a locked bootloader has gotten root. Every one of them. Now you might not be able to flash kernels. But I never do that anyway. So don't worry about it the Snapdragon will get root. Remember the phone just came out on the 15th. I guarantee someone is working on root as we speak.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
I did too in the past but not on the S8+ or the Note 8. There is now Substratum for Samsung without root and SytemUI Tuner from the Play Store that you only need several adb commands to give it permissions where you can really make it yours. Also a thread on the S8+ site for layers and most of those work on the Note 8 too.

Right now I'm using Swift Dark for the S8, and I'm using the nav bar from here, Parapaer. Using the carrier hider from here. Got rid of the battery charging icon from here, with several adb commands for permissions. Haven't had a single issue but if you do just boot into safe mode and uninstall the offending layer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BADDINOROX99:
Honestly I was looking at this question and it made me think because I've also rooted every single phone I've had for the past seven years this is the first Samsung device I bought I usually stuck to Motorola and the Nexus lineup and all of those phones I rooted them to do everything the Galaxy Note 8 does by default already customisation and performance

Up until yesterday the only real reason I had to root my Note 8 was to disable Bixby but Samsung did the right thing and gave me that already

Now I honestly don't even care about rooting

And the Note 4 for Verizon got it 18 months after it was released. By that time, most developers had moved on.

Buying a high end Samsung phone with the expectation of rooting it is probably not smart.

Can we get more instructions? I downloaded substratum installed Swift black where do I go from here I have an applied any layers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
You have to download substratum and the samsung add on. Once that's done use whatever one you've bought and open substratum, select all the ones you want, at the bottom right tap the substratum icon and select install. It will install them and then you will have to tap unknown sources for every one you selected and do another install. Once done reboot and you're finished.

I didn't do nav bar because I'm using one from here, other than that you should be okay. You'll need to know the version of Chrome, Messenger and Google if you're using Swift Dark. If you have any issues, which I don't, you just need to boot into safe mode and uninstall the overlays.

Verizon's did, but it was a crappy 20+ step process that only worked if you sacrificed a chicken on step 17. I got it once, did something stupid to lose it, and then never could get it back again.

The only reason I root is to get rid of ads and work out wakelocks. Hopefully Nougat on Note 8 is better with wakelocks than Lollipop and Marshmallow were. My stock Note 4 with six or seven non-stock apps drops battery at a ridiculous rate because of some stupid kernel wakelock that I can't solve. I can leave it sitting on my desk all day with no SOT and it will be at 55% by the time I leave. The phone stays awake > 90% of the time.

Anyway to get notifications blacked out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Okay, I have been away from here for a few years. I tend to find a ROM I like and stick with it. This Substratum sounds REALLY exciting and I think I have the gist, but all my searching seems to assume I already know a little about it.

1. It looks to me like this is a tool that will allow modifying both apps and the OS. So rather than find and install ROMs, I can install Substratum and install themes that do what people had done in ROMs?

2. Does this include things like turning off features like camera sounds or adding things like "charging stopped" sounds?

3. Can it also do things like adding the number line to a keyboard?

4. can someone point me to a staring point for someone who knows nothing yet?

This sounds REALLY exciting, especially if I can do it on a non rooted phone.
