Hello i have a leeco le s3 x622 (LEX622)

My problem arises when my phones i fully charged (tethered USB). as the battery reaches 100% it deactivates the charging but at the same time it disables the tethered internet sharing.

After that the phone just starts and stops charging every time the battery charge falls below 100%.

is there something a can do to stop it disabling my internet connection and stop it from starting/stopping recharging (other than taking it off the cable haha)?.

plz help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] uglyfatandalive:
Hey there.

Since I've upgraded myself and my redmi note 4x/snapdragon to MIUI 9 I'm experiencing strange battery life. I can't get more than 3 to 4 hours on SOT. It was the same with MIUI 8.5.

Is this normal because I've red about 7+ SOT on this phone?

Im attaching two screenshots.

btw I'm on battery for 2 days or so if that matters. Many phone calls and almost no screen usage.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] lawong:
thats abnormal , i get 8+ SOT on miui 9 for normal usage before, and now im on resurrection remix i always get 10+ SOT on the same usage.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] uglyfatandalive:
Any suggestions then?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] uglyfatandalive:
With latest MIUI i am getting around 5 hours of SOT and 3 days usage with normal conditions. Any suggestions to improve that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Sachin:
Flash a custom kernel?

Or switch to custom Roms?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] uglyfatandalive:
I thought so also.. already rooted with TWRP. What rom will u suggest as good development? Lineage?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Sachin:
Yeah. And also Android Oreo Roms are stable enough already.

If you want more customizations and stable Rom then flash RR or viperOS, PA etc.. Otherwise LineageOS, slim etc..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] uglyfatandalive:
Thanks a lot. I will do that and report just for further info if someone experiences the same problem. cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Sachin:
OK. Currently I'm on LineageOS 15 and I've got 5hrs SOT with 40% batt left.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Dadovvv:
Here is mine on LinageOS 15

everything stock and for me great battery life.

Probably in this 30 percent left i will get 3 hours sot more
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] uglyfatandalive:
Well that's great I get around 5 SOT with heavy usage and my battery lasts 2 full days. My best is 4 SOT 4 days but I guess idle uses alot..

What about 5 hours SOT, 4 hours talk time and 3 days uptime with AOSP extended and stormguard. Is it normal? I talk alot
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
Hi all,

I ask because there seem to be differences between the features offered. For example, my carrier, Sprint, doesn't support WiFi calling or simultaneous talk/surf on the Pixel 2. They just rolled out "Calling Plus", which supposedly does these things but only very few Sprint locked phones are supported yet. Worse still, I've heard that they'll never support the Pixels that way. This makes me want to switch but I like my cheap unlimited plan.

I've been trying Project Fi. I like it so far (it has those features I mentioned above) but I'm afraid it isn't very cost effective for my wife and I at 9.3gb/month average combined usage on Sprint. Fi isn't too far out of line for us and I like it's features but can we do better?

Do the other carriers support these features? Thanks for any insight on this as I would like to keep my Pixel and not have to switch to a Samsung.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
I just switched to tmobile today from Verizon, $80 USD a month for 10gb tether, unlimited text, talk, and data.

I mainly wanted to switch to them for calls and texts over WiFi
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
Cool, this is exactly what I want to know. Is Sprint the only one that won't support WiFi calling on the Pixel? I'd like to know what T mobile charges for two phones with 10 gb. I'll check it out. Did you get the $325 cash card for bringing your Pixel?

Can I assume you can simultaneously talk/surf? That is supported at Fi but interestingly only when connected to T mobile, not Sprint.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Unlimited TMobile has been my go to for years! Including free international roaming, text & data...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vapehooka:
I use total wireless at 60 bucks a month for 2 phones with 8 gig data .. on Verizon antennas.. no calling features, but I've read some people can get the tethering to work.. also FYI my pixel xl2 gets a more consistent signal and data through put than my XL ever dreamed about.. htc dropped the ball with the pixel XL radios. My main reason for this purchase
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
Thx all. Looks like Project Fi is about the same price as the current T-Mobile deal at our level of usage. The advantage with Fi is that you can choose carrier networks on the fly if one or the other isn't working at the moment. But if we use more data any particular month, it could get expensive. It works the other way too though as you pay for exactly what you use. With T-Mobile, in flight internet and Netflix are solid advantages.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
Nope, I got hosed on that deal and was pretty pissed about it. Do the deal was, you had till Nov 2nd to get up the line. I ordered my device on the 6th and received it on the 31st. So I had what? Two days to get in and switch my carrier? And some people that have ordered still havent even gotten theirs because of color choices.

Then again the associate didn't even know they had a promo for the new pixels, and took her twenty minutes to find any information about it. So I'm actually going to do some looking around on the **** I saw online to see if they have end dates.

Verizon has a terrible app that can allow texts over WiFi, it always worked like garbage for me, and like two samjunks and all the iPhones offer wifi calling on vzw. But to me, this might as well mean they don't offer it.

I also wanted to get away from having to use a device that can use cdma, cdma is old, and very much outdated, which only vzw and Sprint use.

So now, even if I descided to get a different phone, it opens up more device choices that I normally wouldn't have since all phones offer gsm support, but not always cdma

Also, if you have two lines on the unlimited all plan that I got, apparently you get a free Netflix account too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dberthia:
If you're an old fogie like me, you can get 2 lines of unlimited everything on T-Mobile for $60/mo if one of you is 55+. If you know someone 55+ who you could share the plan with, it's a great deal.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
Wifi calling and textimg works great for me on Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TiltedAz:
That's decent. Wonder if it includes tethering.

I just checked, tethering is at 3G speeds.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
No, think it's $10/month add-on for 10GB 4g, then throttled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dberthia:
Tethering is included, but at 3G speeds. You can pay additional for 4G.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Deuces:
Do you happen to have access to one of the Sprint supported phones? With Verizon, I had to setup the WiFi calling on a Verizon branded phone first, set e911 address, and then when I switched my sim back into the pixel XL (og), the WiFi calling options showed up and worked fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bsweetness:
Same here. I'm not sure what Lawlrus is talking about in regards to wifi calling & texting on Verizon. What he's saying was true a couple years ago, but isn't with any recent phones on Verizon. Seems like his info is out of date. I've been using wifi calling & texting on Verizon for a while now through several phones, including the Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL. Works great. I'm often in areas with weak signal, and being able to call and text over wifi allows me to put my phone in airplane mode to save on battery life. I've used it while traveling overseas as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Ask yourself this though. Is WiFi calling and simultaneously talking and having data really that necessary for you that it would be worth a possible price jump to another carrier? I'm with Sprint an hard actually talk on the phone enough to want or need either of those features.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
I was on Verizon for 6 years. I bought the Pixel 2 XL from Google so I decided to try Project Fi. It's ok, but there are too many issues with it that I just can't deal with. Wifi calling on speaker phone echos back the person on the other line to them, Google knows this is an issue with project fi, but can't seem to fix it. Sometime the call doesn't answer when you try and answer the phone, you can't hear the person on the other end. The tower switching just flat out sucks. In places where I get full bars on TMobile (which is like everywhere for me) some times it switches to Sprint which will have little to no service and I will need to force the phone back to TMobile. On my wife's phone which I also put on fi, she would be right next to me and she would be on a different tower. Made no sense. Even restarting the phone it wouldn't switch so we would need to force switch whichever phone was stuck on Sprint. I wanted so much to like project fi, but unfortunately it's just too much of a hassle. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I send an mms to someone it compresses the image to just a terrible image the size of a thumbnail. Again this is a known issue on Project fi that other people just deal with. I'm not interested in having a half ass phone carrier just to save some money. I would rather pay a little more for good consistent service.

I am switching to TMobile. I have 2 SIM cards coming. $120 (that includes taxes) per month for 2 lines, unlimited talk text data. Plus you get Netflix for free, so I can cancel my Netflix so I will save there too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
I have asked myself that time and time again. I now do work on a cruise ship and have no cell service but do have blazing wifi. With Sprint, not using an S8 or one of the 3 or so of their other phones that support Calling Plus, I'm completely in the dark for texts and calls for days at a time. These features are semi standard nowadays and are a requirement for me whereas before they we're a convenience. Believe me, I would much rather stay with Sprint.

I am interested in hearing this feedback on TMobile! Thanks everyone, please keep it coming.

One final question I have posed, though it is a little unusual, but I'd like to know if my wife's as yet unactivated, Android One (Project Fi) Moto X4 will work on TMobile as well as my Pixel 2 xl...and have all of the features. ??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
This is extremely interesting as both carriers are cdma. I don't have one of those phones. I've been told though, that a phone needs a specific software update to enable calling plus, which makes me doubtful of success.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
What about simultaneous talk/surf, [MENTION=1812777]Deuces[/MENTION]?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
Bummer about your experience with Fi. I don't think I've experienced those things yet. But I'm considering TMobile straight away based on our recent average data usage. We've been on unlimited for years with Sprint so for us to reprogram our habits into the hassle of finding and registering for (sometimes suspect) free WiFi networks feels like too much.

I agree, we just want good consistent service. The only downgrade I can see for us at TMobile with ONE plan would be streaming capped at 480p. Am I right?

Curious, why didn't you go back to Verizon, [MENTION=332904]tacopimp[/MENTION]?

In any case, please let me/us know how it is when you activate your Tmobile SIMS!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
Verizon is expensive, and it's actually not too great for voice service around my house. The internet was always very good when I wasn't at my house though... I just can't see paying that much for such a small amount of data. Also I travel outside of the US a lot and having to use a burner phone outside the states was also inconvenient.

Project Fi was just too all over the place for me. It was never trying to connect to open wifi like it was supposed to... So not sure if that would be an issue for you. Overall it just became a hassle for me with little things always bugging me.

I don't stream Netflix on my phone ever so it doesn't matter to me if it's only 480, but just an FYI, you can pay an extra $10 a month to get full streaming capabilities.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zathus:
I've had pretty great quality on T-Mobile. My company phone is in a Verizon iPhone 8. And often I have to grab my phone to make a call because I can't get a signal on my iPhone 8.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wyelkins:
Project Fi works great for me. But I am on WiFi at home and work. 2 miles between. Less then a GB of LTE but over 10GB of Wifi per month. Used to have an hour commute and I had to pay about $60/month on another carrier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
If wifi calling worked well it would be good for me, but it's intermittent. I have excellent wifi in my house and my home office. Unfortunately the fi service was extremely lacking.
[T-Mobile LG G4] freeradical426:
Should have verified being on 20o firmware

Upon further reading, quite obvious, at the top of this thread, I definitely should have followed the Prerequisite steps. I did NOT verify that I was on 20o firmware. "OR RISK BRICKING YOUR DEVICE" is right.

So I bricked my device, in exactly the way I was warned not to do, it seems.

Still, what's the next step? Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:

Re: searching for unbrick solutions

Thanks, I have been looking around for solutions, but can't seem to find anything aside from the unbrick-guides that I've already listed / already attempted.

Will hope for help from [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] ! Or some other knowledgeable / benevolent party.
[T-Mobile LG G4] steadfasterX:
Ok what was the last KDZ file you flashed which had worked? 20o?

As you have hard bricked your device you can try the sdcard method again if it works flash 20o again (of it it was 20o).

If you flash a lower version you will hard brick again.

If the sdcard doesn't work anymore for you you can try to flash with QFIL but beware to use the right one. If you use the wrong one it will convert your device and believe me that's not what you want. I can share the good ones but unfortunately maybe on next week first.

Otherwise search on your own for 9008 unbrick but check the md5sum of the programmer!! Compare it with the Evil one mentioned in my ARB list here: http://tinyurl.com/antirollg4 and DO NOT USE THE EVIL one..
[T-Mobile LG G4] freeradical426:
Thanks very much for the guidance! The post that you linked to REALLY helps. Until now I really was not sure what 10n, 20i, 20o, etc. referred to, aside from just various software versions. Having a definition for anti-rollback and further links to explain, really helps! This gives me more information and I might be able to self-resolve from here. I will give it a shot.

As for your question ... unfortunately there was NO instance where I flashed a working KDZ file, and I didn't know (due to my past experience with my Nexus) that I needed to check the STOCK software version of my phone before beginning to play with ROMs. In other words, I have no idea if I was on 20i, 20o, 20p, etc. From what I understand, this makes things a lot more difficult :(

Having looked at the linked thread just a little bit, it appears that using a 20o KDZ is the best bet -- because I bricked my device using a 20i ROM so I expect it was due to violating the anti-rollback restriction.

I will look into it more closely and come back if I hit another brick wall. Thanks so much!
[T-Mobile LG G4] freeradical426:
If anyone cares, here are the ending results of all this ...

#1 Be wary of anti-rollback restrictions before you flash anything to your G4. You WILL brick your phone! :)

I tried multiple rounds and multiple variations of all the MicroSD card methods that I could find. I could NOT succeed in unbricking my phone.

#2 Luckily ... I was able to convince LG that I was still technically under warranty!

Because I had the stock bootloop issue in May 2017, LG did an in-warranty repair for me, and replaced the motherboard. So last week, I simply told them "my phone is AGAIN unable to charge and will not power on, just like in May". Since it had only been 5-6 months since the first issue, they agreed to replace the motherboard again.

Moral of the story: you can definitely unbrick your phone by having LG replace the mobo XD XD

From here, I think I will just totally avoid doing any rooting or custom ROMs on my totally-stock G4 coming today in the mail. I will cross my fingers and hope we get OEM Nougat in the USA sometime in the next couple of months.

Thanks again for the help everyone!

I still have not received the update. Am I the only one? Is there any way to force the OTA?

Due to using as a work device, I can't root or unlock bootloader so unable to install manually.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] gaabrysz:
The update should be out soon. This week or next. Just don't expect all the MIUI 9 features in the first update. Some might come later. Also there was a small MIUI 9 update last week, it really had not much in it so no loss there if you didn't receive it.

Another thing is that you can install a Dev (beta) version without unlocking bootloader. Just download it and use the updater on the phone to flash it. Beta version receives updates weekly. I'm sure you know that beta can be buggy sometimes. And you can also go back to stable without any problems using miflash, just google about it.

This is really good. I'm trying to mount a portable studio of sorts. My only grip with the Pixel 2 XL is the lack of a headphone jack, and to make things worse... the USB C port is blocked by the Gimbal (I've got a Zhiyun Smooth Q) so I'm not able to plug my mic in that scenario. I've been looking around and it seems some users were able to get a nice setup like the one I'm trying to put together using a USB C to USB C angled connector (wich I lack and I'm not able to find just yet).

On the software side, I'm having some trouble with the camera app OP suggested (it crashes a lot and has some annoying bugs like a stutter when first opened), I'd love to hear what else you recommend guys. I'll give Open Camera a shot this weekend.
