Well A/B is the new partitioning scheme where all firmware partition exist twice, and the bootloader switches from one to the other when updating. This is also called seamless updates.

To revert back to stock... Well flash stock? :p
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] haky 86:
interesting project, I've a question..are there any chance to run this project on device like P8 Lite 2015 (Kirin620) and P8 Lite 2017 (kirin655) since both are arm64? and also System A/B must be enabled on that device? thanks in advance
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] PresidentMcCain:
Unless they are officially updated to Oreo and supports Treble (very unlikely), then no.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] haky 86:
Only P8 Lite 2017 will get Android Oreo soon reported by many websites, but not sure if can handle Treble project.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rbadh91:
hey guys...with all the talks bout gps going on...i thot bout checking on how much battery gps chipset consumes vs having it off. I know few people wanted to have it ON all the time to use program like sprite terminator track the position of the phone if its lost or stolen.

I have used acbpowermeter and it shows gps uses more than twice the power. This test does not include running a gps program like tomtom or iguidance...just astrogpslauncher to turn the chipset on.

attached are 2 gif images showing the power consumption overall;

One w/ GPS off and the other w GPS ON

In both test i had to have the screen ON with brightness in the Exact middle in settings.

Test Results

W/O GPS

Avg consumption: 80mA

5 Min consumption: 6mAh

W/GPS

Avg consumption: 197mA

5 Min consumption: 17mAh
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] CromDubh:
though I know the gps would consume more power...for me its wanting to know what is the more power efficient...running the internal gps...or having to have bluetooth on so I can use my bluetooth gps
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] aph:
Can you test one with just GPS Today running? It's supposed to consume a lot less battery
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] vetvito:
^ Don't see how as it is still running GPS.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rbadh91:
ok guys...i wasnt running a gps software...but i had primed the gps (gave power to the gps chipset) using astrogpslauncher...i just wanted to know how much more power is the chispset using than not having it on at all.

@aph - i doubt it will use less battery...as it would still b accessing the chispet (using same power that astrogpslauncher is).

@CromDubh - i dont have a bt gps unit...but you can use acbpowermeter and find out...and please post results for others.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] scoobdude:
i would assume the power consumption would be different due to the bluetooth being a lower power radio (max 30 feet) and also depends on the program (google maps will d/l map pieces while other will read them off the card requiring one less wireless data transfer).

So if you were going to test BT vs AGPS can i recommend using one of the programs read from card AND then another set using google maps or something similiar?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] defaultdotxbe:
well the thing about GPSToday is its supposed to use less battery because its not constantly running the gps, it just powers it on every few minutes to get a fix on your location, so its not always running like with astrolauncher
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
i donwloaded acbpowermeter and it working fine, i just wanna understand how to use it and what it means...any clarification?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rbadh91:
ok...some things you want to know...thers a RESET button...and theres the pause/resume button

if u want to do a comparison; i wud recommend some things

1 - have a stopwatch on you...there is no timer on the program itself except for the graph

2 - i would recommend u disable power saving like "Turn of screen after xx Seconds" in backlight settings; and "turn of ppc after xx mins" under power (otherwise you will be pressing the buttons which can interfer with true data

start the program; get the stopwatch ready; run whatever program you want to run and hit the reset button on the acbmeter

try it few times and u'll know exactly what to do

i use a program called dotpocket to take snapshot its pretty kool proggy
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
but what do the two lines mean?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rbadh91:
the dark one is the average the other one is current at that point; if u run the program and while its going, you press a button; that will make it spike a bit, launch a program; it will spike higher, close the program it will go lower
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Asphyx:
I still say your not going to get a real sense of how much power the GPS Chipset itself consumes until you test it in the following way....

Test 1 (Control) - Turn location setting to 911 Only (disabling the GPS chipset from listening to the radio, collecting data and reporting it.)

Test 2 (Chipset enabled) turn on Location without running any primer program to see if the location on setting actually consumes more power... There should be a difference but a minimal one. The Chipset itself does not require a lot of power. In fact you might find that the chipset was always on it's just that there was no software to communicate with it until now. (you would have to find a rom that support both new and old radio to prove it though) Location would in that case only control communication to and from, not the chipset itself.

The problem with the method being used so far is you can not tell how much of the power is being used by the chipset and how much is increased proc load of the program due to the fact it now has data to process. Just the power to update the screen alone with the incoming data will make the power usage spike and that spike has nothing to do with what the chipset is eating on you The Data has to go through the Proc eating power. your also driving the serial ports with the program on as well so it can receive data...All of these drains make up this 87mA difference. It's not all chipset.

When the final official radio is released I bet you won't need this primer program to enable the chipset. And then you'll have a more accurate test of just how much power the chipset uses without clouding it with processor, serial and screen refresh cycles adding their two cents to the number.

I think the chipset has always been on and it's just that there was never the programming to talk to it under the old radio driver. the new radio has issues opening up a communication port to the chipset properly under 3.27 radio and that is the only reason why the primer is needed to see that the chip is working. Under normal circumstances (and at some point official radio driver) turning the location on would automatically open that port for communication to any program who polled it. My guess is that just isn't happening in the beta. Should happen whenever it is finally stable and official.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharktm:
does it work to downgrade the stock firmware directly from marshmallow to kitkat using odin on SM-G900F ? or should i downgrade it first to lollipop and then to kitkat ? i heard there is some "trouble" with the last 6.0.1 firmware version that prevents you to downgrade to kitkat anymore.

i want to downgrade it bechause as far i've heard the kitkat stock rom had the best possible battery life on this device.

and from where can i get the official download links for odin and samsung usb drivers for galaxy S5, since google search is full of bait links with malware...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pro Cal:
yes you can do that, there is no order o respect

you can install any version you would like even if it sa downgrade

as longer you gonna do it with odin correctly, there s nothing to worry abt

PS : only an advice, if you are looking for good battery life + performance and new UI and all, i strongly suggest a CUSTOM ROM such as NEMESIS REBORN is perfect

Good luck

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Then get to work and try installing various different ROMs for your device until you find the one that you like best or that serves your purposes the best. What I like, you might not like, what you like, I might not like, no two people are the same.

We don't make ROM suggestions, you have to figure that out for yourself because the results vary for everyone even when using the same ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

No, they just need to be directed to get to work trying ROMs for their device instead of wasting time and thread space. It is better to do that than direct them to another thread to waste more time and space with another useless post.
[General Questions and Answers] Blaccko:
Hi,

I use Nine app (9Folders) for my emails with Exchange. With Nine contact's syncing enabled (Nine settings/My account/Contacts/Contacts sync/Enable), I only see 1 contact (always the same) of my Nine contacts on my phone's native contacts app. The others don't show up.

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S7. In my phone's native contacts app, the settings are to show all my contacts (from all accounts). What do I need to do?

Thanks,

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] respider:
I noticed that when I have Always On display at maximum brightness, the device turns on many random white pixels in the area that was supposed to be black, kind of simulating a LCD backlight.

It is noticeable by exposing the sleeping phone to a bright light so it will go to maximum brightness while Always On, then turning off the lights while the brightness is at maximum you can see the "backlight" (white pixels in the black area). As soon the phone adjusts the brightness you can't see it any more.

Here are some pictures, comparing maximum brightness, low brightness and also comparing to a S8.

https://imgur.com/a/pZgzT

Please note that by taking a picture makes it more evident, in reality it looks just like a LCD backlight, not a star constellation like in the picture. Even though it is not bad in reality I am concerned because this should not happen in a black screen in an OLED display right?

I tried replicating this with a regular image and I cannot, I can only see it while in Always On display.

Anyone else having similar issues with the regular Pixel 2? Or even in the 2 XL? I did not notice this happening when I had the 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
My blacks have always had that LCD type backlight look. I was wondering the same thing but I've seen others with it so I just assume it's the design. Not keen on it but it's not the end of the world for me
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] respider:
To me it only happens in always on display. If I have a black picture on my screen it doesn't show this "backlight"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ariesb2b:
I recently brought Galaxy S8 SM-G950F (international unlocked) version and use Ultra mobile which in turn uses T-Mobile network in US. I have following queries:

1. Currently Wifi calling is not working nor can I see any options to enable/disable it. Does international unlocked phone do not have this feature? I tried the call setting menu and more connection settings but it does not appear in both of them.

2. After the call connects, my data switches to H or H+ (3G) but otherwise it remains on LTE/LTE+. Is this an issue with my phone or the carrier? My friend uses the same ultra mobile network with IPhone 6s and LTE works while on call so I think its not a carrier issue but not sure. I have heard LTE works on carrier provided galaxy s8 models.

I also have any option to exchange my phone for North America unlocked version S8 SM-G950U. Does this model supports above features? Should I go for this exchange?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Thor2j:
You will not get wifi calling or volte on any of the unlocked phones while they are stock. Each carrier is slightly different on what u need to do. Tmobile only need a firmware flash with a carrier that has the option. Att is the hardest, many more steps.

I was looking at a friends Palm 750w and on the today screen it has a box that you can start typing names or numbers in and as you type it works like the contacts works (reducing the list of contacts down). The only difference is it's on the Today screen which is nice. Does anyone have a plugin for this? Thanks for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jimmyy:
PocketBreese 5.4 from sbsh.net allows you to add a tab with contacts on your today screen. There are 8 abc buttons at the bottom of the tab, and when you press a series of blocks it reduces the list to the people with that sequence of letters (sort of like on the HTC Dialer with the on screen number pad). You can try it for free for 14 days, check it out. It Doesn't work with the built in keyboard though.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunshine.n.r.d:
Hello,

I am new to this forum and android tweaking. My device Asus Zenfone 2 ze551ml, is currently not rooted.

As I am a novice at this I will be getting someone else to root my device. The only reason I want to do this is to reduce the minimum brightness of the screen.

While searching for available methods on Google, I realized that most of the available apps just add an overlay or mask on the screen instead of actually dimming the hardware light intensity.

I came across an old article for another phone that mentioned changing the variable ro.lcd_min_brightness in the buil.prop file to lower the brightness at the hardware level.

Will this method work for Zenfone 2 ze551ml?

If not, is there any other method to reduce the actual light intensity of the device (and not just add a dark overlay)? Please help.
