[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyYou:
Hi,

I have lots of movies in my 1 TB external HDD, and I usually watch 2 movies a day.

My question is if it harms the HDD if I unplug it when I'm done with it and then plug it again hours later? Is it better if I just leave it plugged? Won't it shorten the HDD's life?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectvomit:
Depending on the HDD. Most external are made to be plugged in and unplugged. It will be the connection that could break. I had a three year old 4tb Seagate attached Andi died in about 3 months.

I made the switch to a 8tb WD Mycloud ex2 and couldn't be happier. I also run Plex media server of of it to save space on the 16gb shield.

I would recommend at least swapping out the HDD for Nas hdd. They are made to run constantly and hotter without damage. Dont be like me and loose movies and music. Do it before it's to late. And backup, backup, backup!

As the titles states, my phone doens't want to charge the first time I plug it to the original charger. It can stay for hours without charging 1%. I have to reboot and then it'll charge fine. I called google support and they told me it will be fixed in the next updates. Anyone else is having those problems? I just return it if it's just me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ozzyager:
I've had weirdness with charging for sure. Seemingly mostly with the charger that came with it. Mine will say "5 minutes until charged," but I'll be at like 86%. If I unplug and let it settle for a second, it will go back to 84% or whatever, then seems fine when I plug it back in again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ksd316:
I've been using this Magqi charging dock and magnetic pad and it's been hit or miss. Sometimes just fine, other times won't charge at all. Wife is having the same problem. We both have a Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abogrhen:
ok it happened to me before (you clicked something by mistake )

just go to settings -system- developer options -select usb configuration- charging

if this doesn't work

maybe it is something else
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Balino:
I didn't turn on nothing by mistake, it's just not charging. I did a factory reset and seems to work fine until now ( charged just one time ). I'll update the thread if it happens again. I think something was messed up during the November update. I hope it's just a software bug because it's really annoying to reboot the phone Everytime
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Balino:
It happened again after factory reset. It's quite annoying
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Baz8755:
I've had mine 4 days and it happened to me the first time this morning.

To fix it I turned the phone off, started charging whilst off and then turned back on. Luckily it was back to charging correctly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Baz8755:
I today I now have the slow charging issue (on the supplied charger)

I ran the battery down fully last night and put it on charge at 2 am.

When I left for work at 6:30 am the battery had only charged to 67%, that's 4.5 hours.

Given all the other posts concerning this subject it does not seem uncommon :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] flexlev3l:
Yeah just got my phone last night and its happening for me too. Will charge for a minute or two then stops. Going to try the charge while off deal mentioned above and see what happens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Balino:
It's quite annoying for me... I hope Google is going to fix this soon. Seems like a software bug
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
Here is what happens with me.

I have the stock charger with a 6.5' Cable Creations C to C cable.

Any charges that happen with my battery lower than 30%, I have to constantly watch it to make sure it's charging.

If not, I have to unplug and replug. This happens several times between 0-30%

After 30, it seems to pick up fine..

Edit: Forgot to mention, when below 30%, it stops charging because, I take the power off it and all the sudden, it loses 2-3%

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SpaceGooner:
Not sure I've seen a situation where the supplied charger didn't charge the phone at all like some have mentioned, but it definitely seems a lot slower than the charging time for the Pixel XL. It's offset in a big way by the much improved battery life I guess, but it certainly doesn't feel like quick charge, at least by 2017 standards.

However when I use the charger that came with my Pixel C, It charges noticeably quicker. I know the Pixel C never sold in huge numbers, and I haven't run any comparison tests here, but has anyone else that owns one noticed better performance with its charger compared to the one that was bundled with their Pixel 2 XL?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] an21281:
​

Tried Nexus 5x stock charger and it didnt do anything. Not sure whats wrong with our chargers, my Pixel 2 XL always goes to 98%max maybe 99%. Another weird thing that happend. I decided to fully discharge my phone until it shut off for the first cycle(first day I got it to calibrate battery). When I plugged the OEM charger in it showed the symbol that it doesnt have enough power to turn on(needs to charge to 5% or whatever it is), waited 1 hr, 2 hrs same thing. Unplugged, plugged back in, hard reset, bootloader and nothing. Same symbol. Only way to get it back charging was to use a cheap USB A to C cable I got from walmart, plug that into my Nexus 6 charger base and it finally started charging...??? WTF
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Murdoc13:
Same issue

Looks like this is an issue with the November security patch.

Same thing has happened to me on my Pixel 2 XL and i have three different official Type C wall chargers from google (6p, XL (1st gen) and they will not work, however it will work with the quick charge connector in my car (Type A to Type C).

Reviewing the internet other people have the same issue and all seem post November update. I did a factory reset etc to troubleshoot with no luck.

Only thing i have yet to attempt is enroll for the android beta program and force update to 8.1 to see if it resolves the issue.

i live in Dubai and i don't have official support from google nor am i able to contact them, if some one could kindly post an update if they have tried contacting google and got a confirmation that its a S/W issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Bump.

Sooo, I woke up last night and saw a message on my phone that said something like, your device is corrupt, etc. Now my phone will not charge... The phone seems fine otherwise, everything seems to work, no more errors or anything, but, two stock pixel 2 chargers and neither charge the phone. However, if I plug it into a computer, it charges. Anyone have any idea of what is going on? I've rebooted, cleared cache from apps (not from twrp though), nothing seems to help.

About my phone: April update, unlocked, rooted stock. The only things I'm running are substratum with the swift dark theme, pixel launcher mods for Virus icon pack, viper audio mod, adaway, greenify, things like that. Nothing major with the exception of the theme. I even disabled/uninstalled the theme and rebooted. The problem is still there. Unless I get this fixed ASAP, I guess I'm calling Google for a replacement...

Please help!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Almost sounds like a hardware/port issue. About the only 2 things I could suggest is...1. Fastboot the factory image again with the -w flag removed. 2. Factory reset, which, as you know, bites because you have to set everything up again. :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Ugh, I thought I might need to try one of those. I'll see what fastbooting the image does. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jaspreet84:
Your description exactly matches my issue with a week old Pixel 2. It won't charge using OEM charger below 30% battery. I have to reset the phone, sometimes reboot works but not all the time. Even safe mode won't work done times. It's frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nullness:
I'm having charging issues that started when I installed Android P. At times when the phone is plugged in either to wall charger or car charger it indicates it's charging but actually isn't. Only solution I found was to reboot. I should note this only an Android P issue for me, Oreo didn't exhibit this problem. Battery percentage doesn't matter, it could be at 25% or 95% so I'm thinking my issue is just a P beta bug.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jaspreet84:
Anyone got a solution to this issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Balino:
Check battery temp... It charges fine for me when it's over 23 degree... I usually warm up the device by putting It in my pocket. It should not happen at all on devices like this, but it's the only workaround I found
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abogrhen:
ok this is happening for me now

my phone won't charge at all using oem and any 3rd party charger

the only one working is my old QC2 charger using usb A to c

and when i plug in the phone it restarts itself

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abogrhen:
they said ok the will replace it under warranty

BUT i imported the phone from USA to my country

and they told me to send to them from within the country
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:

Questions

Q: Will this work on newer bootloaders?

A: It should. The kernel is based on the most recent of LG sources.

Q: What control app do you suggest using?

A: I suggest using SmartPack, or EX Kernel Manager.

Q: Where can I donate? I want to donate!!

A: I don't accept donations because of two reasons. One: I don't really need it. Two: I like the idea of this being totally free, it adds to the enjoyability of the kernel.

Q: I'm having some problems with kernel not working or booting?

A: If you have downgraded your bootloader (i.e by flashing Asgard kernel first) then that is likely why. My kernel works on new firmware, not exactly sure how far back the compatibility goes.

Q: I flashed this zip in recovery, but it didn't seem to work, I'm still on my old kernel. What can I do?

A: With AnyKernel you shouldn't need to re-flash ROOT after flashing kernel (if already installed, if not, do it before flashing kernel). SuperSu has been known to revert the kernel install if you do so.

Q: OK so I just rooted my phone and installed this, and OMGOSH! so excited, now what do I do - do I tweake-dy freak out huh huh? How do I do it??

A: Put simply, don't do anything. I don't know how things where in the past, but now you don't need to do anything. Not with this kernel anyhow. Such thing are better discussed in a separate thread anyway.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mkpcxxl:
Thanks for your work. Tested your kernel with H850 and Fulmics 4.5. Works well but bluetooth isn't working, it's not possible to activate.

Returned with backup to stock.

Best regards

mkpcxxl
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
Thank you for your report. How silly of me, I forgot to test bluetooth since I never use that.

I'll see about uploading a fixed version soon.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
Version 0.8 is up.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mkpcxxl:

Thanks again for your work.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dadittoz:
I am sorry, but where can I find the source code for this kernel? If it is one of github links, which of them is the one?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
I'm sorry too, but when I started this project, I did it in the only way I know (and what seemed simplest to me) and that is to do stuff manually. I don't have experience with github or any elaborate development tools, heck I hardly know how to do this stuff, but I'm learning more and more.

I can upload the latest source in zip if that is satisfactory.

Sorry if this breaks xda rules, but I'm sure I've seen other projects not having their full, direct sources posted.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dadittoz:
Well, as far as I know GPL requires sources to be published. But it's not that I brag about complying to licenses. I am genuinely interested in changes made. I enjoy reading [MENTION=3520901]eoghan2t7[/MENTION] commits on his kernel tree every few days. As for me, I am not really interested in a single zip :) Version control systems are awesome and it would be great if your kernel tree could use it.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
Yes, as I got further into this project I figured it would be better to open a qithub account next time.

So I'll probably do that with the next major source drop from LG.

Temps are alot more stable right now, but battery life is still horrible for me.

Asgard did indeed have overheating in versions 5.x, but since then it had been fixed
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
Version 1.0

Super excited about this one :)

Compiled with gnu11, graphite, O3 and other optimizations. Most of them was borrowed from [MENTION=1657835]jahlex[/MENTION] D.O.T.S Kernel (Thanks!) - but gnu11 was my idea. I really don't know if is good to do or not, but hey... :D

It's been tested "adequately" I'd say. But that probably means inadequate in most tongues, however, I like to take few risks and gamble every now and then :cool:

Performance seems very much increased, battery as well.

Added Maple i/o

Alucard and Zzmoove (bLE) governors

Fixed small omissions here and there

Maple is default IO (was initially going for FIOPS), since that hooks into "display_state" making it aware of screen on/off.

Zzmoove is default cpu governor. Alucard could not be set as default at build time - kernel would not boot :(

I've added a zip to fix lg bootup script in /system/etc - it, amongs other things, sets *interactive* governor as default :p

Hotplugging characteristics can be customized.

May it serve you all well! :)

Fortunately I rarely use it...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
What?

Google assistant not working now...

I fixed it with the 1.5 release. I have confirmed it myself on my H850, as well multiple users on the V20 forum.

Are you sure you ppl are not using beta16 ?

Edit: you need to clear the app, and retrain the voice after updating to 1.5 (or at least that's the only thing I can think of right now)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
I'm using "official release" of v1.5, not any beta.

Kernel is awsome. I am on 1.5 and have not encountered any issues.

I am using it without any tweaks or config changes (ie governor, other tunable parameters). I would be interested if anybody would care to share recommendations for further improvements to battery life.

I am running Fulmics 5.5 on an H830.

Thank you in advance.

Test build H850

Ok

I have here a test build for the H850, for testing Quick Charging.

I have only a QC2 adapter (which came with the phone) and I can't remember having the qc issue before, and reportedly the problem is sporadic (or maybe dependent on circumstances).

So I'm uploading the build here for those that are bothered with this problem, to see if my changes made a difference.

About "OK Google", I still don't understand how this could still be a bug in 1.5 (unless I somehow packed the wrong kernel in the 1.5 zip). Anyway, I did not do anything with regards to that in this test build.

Works fine for me here, both 1.5 and test version…

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ilyadan:
With test version QC drops out.

How to reproduce:

1. Discharge your phone to less then 35%.

2. Connect to quick charger.

3. Verify phone switches to quick charge.

4. Leave it charging for 10 minutes.

5. Check that it is still quick charging or dropped to regular charging mode.

Acceptance criteria:

Should remain on quick charging until unplugged.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] vkeza057:
Tried 1.5 test version and failed twice. It does not work. Tried with and without the wq_power_saving. :(
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pphish20:
It can be changed via kernel adiutor. My H850 running fulmics 5.5 and latest stable 1.5 mk2000 and debloated via fluenceHD 30s. Had Google Assistant working perfectly, even with latest update. No issues with fast charging, no issues with Bluetooth, no issues with battery drain.

1.5 stable works perfectly for me. Google Assistant was broken on last three 1.5 beta builds I tried.

Try cleaning everything in latest TWRP. Format data, the whole bit. Then flash 20s compete zip and reboot recovery again, wipe cache,dalvik,data.

Flash fulmics 5.5, mk2000 1.5 and reboot to system.profit

Make sure you clean everything, and have latest official firmware that fulmics doesn't include in builds!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] vkeza057:

As much as I would like to spend 2 whole days to restore my phone to "may be working better but probably not" condition, it's still easyer for me to flash MK1.4.

In case you didn't know, you can back up the current kernel in TWRP via a 'BOOT' backup.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] vkeza057:
Actually, I wanted to go to stock and install mk2000 fresh so I could test if upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 breaks the QC.
