[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bandit_knight:
Hey fellow Xda-ers,

I am experiencing a pretty poor battery life with my brand new Galaxy S8. I am not able to reach 1.5h SOT over a working day (7-19) with very few calls. I started to wonder if that maybe is because of the device being recovered from a backup. Is that possible? The backup had been taken from the same device before I debranded it. It was originally an operator branded device than then has been debranded to XEO CSC (EU/Poland).

GSAM shows that the biggest drainers are as follows:

Kernel - 32%

Samsung Dex Home - 31% (that I believe is android OS that is misinterpreted by GSAM)

System (com.samsung.android...) - 10%

Any suggested troubleshooting? Or shall go for another factory reset with a fresh setup this time?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
I did the opposite, took backup on the same factory unlocked S8 while it ran its factory unbranded firmware. Then I flashed it with a branded T-Mobile firmware and restored. I don't see any issues with battery life at all. It is the same as it was before. I used Samsung's backup and not Google's.

Instead of GSAM, what do the general battery stats look like?

1) Sometimes after flashing firmware it is good to wipe cache in recovery menu. - don't know if you have done that.

2) If the #1 didn't help, then you can do factory reset in settings or in recovery menu - turn off any lock screen pin codes before you do it, just in case.

3) If 2 above didn't help, then you can re-flash the firmware again.

These are only suggestions, as I did not encounter this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bandit_knight:
I did clear the cache after flashing. That did not have any effect on improving battery life.

Just in case I went for a factory reset but that that again did not improve on battery performance. I am still struggling to get 1.5h SOT over a work day. Also my device loses around 15 % staying idle over night.

My stats:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cricketgirl90:
Could be because of poor cell reception
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bandit_knight:
I live in an area with pretty ok signal. It is 2-3/4 bars inside buildings and outside it's usually full bars. Also in office which is located in a city center reception is great and still idle drain is significant.

Though my S8's idle battery drain is clearly related to mobile network. I do not experience it at all while I am on WiFi. And while I am at home my phone uses VoWIFi I instead of mobile network. And battery life is pretty great.

But once I leave WiFi coverage the juice goes down at a similar pace no matter of my screen is on or off. Today I went shopping and without any use my phone lost 15% within less than an hour. I looked at Gsam's battery Vs signal graph and actually in a shopping centre I was in a better coverage area that around home.

On my morning commute that is usually about 30mins it loses 5-10%. Again phone being idle.

A theory that I am now investigating is that it drains due to VoLTE being enabled. I was comparing how my S8 switches radios Vs my work phone - a OnePlus 5 with a simcard of exactly the same network operator (TMobile PL). What I noticed is that the OP5 more aggressively switches between 4G and HSDPA signals. While the OP5 is usually already connected to HSDPA with full bars my S8 is still trying to be connected to 4G of much lower signal strength.

I have now temporarily disabled VoLTE. I will see if there's any improvement.

[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
When I first installed the Xposed it booted right up no problem. Another user had a bootloop and eventually got it to boot by using an init.d script to set selinux permissive. I realized I had an Arise audio mod installed which had an selinux permissive script installed to su.d. Selinux being set permissive should solve the bootloop without modifying the Xposed files.

Edit: if you have a bootloop that is showing the bootanimation, you should be able to get a log with adb. I've done it plenty of times when building roms to diagnose a bootloop.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHitMan:

i already modified my device ramdisk and set selinux to permissive. insecure ramdisk. insecure adb. less secure security preferences.

SuperSU still not working with Moto E4 mediatek variant.

During *creating paths* Supersu failed to mount root directory and unable to extract necessary files.

How do i use supersu ?

only phh's supersu and magisk v14 working for now.

and i can't get xposed working with my device doesn't matter which version of xposed i used to install.

i can take logcat but only in meta mode but theirs no xposed related logs. Also how to take logcat during boot. i am not talking about Meta mode.

if you really want to help than make Supersu(systemless) workable with E4 (mtk variant). i still can't find a way to fix this problem. it will be appreciable if you make it working :)

only this port working for me without any problem. no bootloop, no lag. everything works well.

Any plans (or maybe it's been posted somewhere) to edit the 88.2 version so it works in nougat? I tried to upgrade through the xposed installer and got a boot loop, so I had to use the uninstaller.zip and reflash 88.1
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
88.2 works fine. Just get the latest installer from rovo89's main Xposed thread.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] domenci:
so no need for specialized e4 version at all, I could have installed 88.1 with the stock installer too?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
I did. Just make sure you have the newest Xposed installer APK (3.1.4 I think).
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] domenci:
Hmm, no luck installing 88.2 official. Moto/Lenovo logo keeps going forever on boot.

I tried installing over 88.1 through the Xposed installer app, flashing over 88.1 through twrp, and after running the uninstaller, rebooting, and flashing fresh in twrp.

Not sure what I could be doing incorrectly.:(
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Did you wipe caches? It worked fine for me. Never tried 88.1, just 88.2. wiped cache and dalvik/art cache, let it sit for awhile, and all good.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] domenci:
Yeah wiped as standard practice. Oh well the Francisco Franz 88.1 version is working great for gravity box.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
As long as its working. Do You have mediatek version?

Also remove the previous version completely first if you're moving to 88.2. That Franz version is a pretty hacky workaround (Rovo89 himself advised against it).

Also 88.2 optimizes more, so first boot takes a long time. Like 20 minutes sometimes (maybe 25).
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] domenci:
No I'm on qualcomm, xt1768 retail. I'm going to give it another go here in a bit, going to let it boot for 30 min before I decide it failed. Just not making much sense to me how 88.2 takes exponentially longer than stock and 88.1 to boot, never ran into this on older phones but I'm seeing that it takes quite a while on other threads, too. Thanks
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Older Android used to say "optimizing apps" or "building dalvik caches", nougat does not. It just sits there while generating new art caches. Make sure to uninstall old versions of Xposed first with uninstaller zip. And boot up. Then back to recovery to flash new version. And clean installer APK.

If the xposed setup you have is working, make a backup first. That way if something else is keeping it from booting you have a working backup without a bunch of hassle. If you're happy with the one you have (no major battery drain or lag) then hey, if it ain't broke ya know. Lol. And remember, have fun. Isn't that why we do this?

Oh yeah, when it sits too long for me, I force a couple reboots (just holding power) and sometimes it will hook and boot up.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] domenci:
well I'll be ***! Waited just over 10 minutes and it booted up. Guess I just didn't wait long enough before. cheers. as an added bonus, the only thing that didn't seem to work while I was on that unofficial 88.1, the navigation key highlight color, now works too!

Hi

I'm currently doing a bit of personal IT project and my friend has given me their old motorola defy for me to use.

I have rooted the device, I'm just very unsure on how to do this next part. I was originally going to use CyanogenMod but I'm aware of the fact it has now been taken over by Lineage OS instead.

Would it be possible if someone could tell me which would be the best rom to flash to this device or give me a step by step guide that will tell me how to do it? Or is this device so unsupported that it's no longer possible for me to this?
