[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackspyro123:
Thank you! thankfully I'm bit of a nerd so I went online and force updated the app store to the latest version and now I can get basic apps. Down side is that it keeps breaking and crashing every few minutes so I'm going to uninstall most of the unnecessary apps and see if that will help fix most of the issues with crashing. Also the fact that most of them are always running in the background doesn't help xD.

I also have planes to overclock using my sd card. like take some of the memory to boost my phones power :D

Is there any way to hide the nav bar while in split screen mode? I have my nav bar auto hide all of the time but when using two apps side by side, it reappears and there is no longer an option to hide it.

Am I missing the logic behind this? Surely when using two apps on the one screen, that extra space is even more important?

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ninokotur:
Hey guys,

I have recently purchased xiaomi mi 6 and this is my first quick charge phone so something got me worried. My battery charging speed seems to be too fast for me. Although I don't think temperatures are worrying however I'm conserned regarding long term effects.

I have xiaomi mi 6 6gb ram 128gb storage ceramic edition model.

These are pictures taken from battery app from playstore and image of my charger.

If anyone have some advise about this it would be great.

My greatest consern is that charging speed doesn't seem to diminish as charge is getting to 90% after it hits 90% it slows down dramatically. But from what I know it should change charging speed between 60 and 70 percent to little slower then from 0 to 60.

Is this damaging battery?

Screenshots below.

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] itsignas:
Totally fine. Its QC 3.0. Imagine this: QC4+ charges ~50-60% in under 15 minutes.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ninokotur:
Oh such a releaf. Thank for replying.

Anyone got idea if this has any at all negative effect to battery?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] flither:
No, higher battery voltage - slower charge, you would damage your battery in few weeks without this slow down.

Also avoid heavy load of phone when charging
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
Would they put a fast charger in the box if the phone couldn't handle it? Nah probably not. Maybe Apple would......

Should you worry if you use the stock charger or a certified QC 3.0 charger? Definitely not its fine.

Are you still worried?: use a non QC 3.0 charger like 1.5 amp.

I use my old Sony one and it works equally well.

I find a slower charger gives slightly longer SOT.

The fast charger is just useful if I need power quickly.

[G4 General] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great information! Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
oh well. first of all: it is bad practice to quote an OP or other posts which are like long a book. this makes this forum slow and unreadable.

back to your questions you should consider to read the dd manpage first: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/dd.1.html

of course you need a good understanding about filesystems as well.

so to sum up:

dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.LS991ZV5.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=557312 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

means:

skip the first 65536 * 8192 bytes of /dev/block/mmcblk0 and write system.rooted.LS991ZV5.img there

How does this comes together? To understand that above you must first understand how the REGULAR calculation would be:

EMMC devices (i.e. the LG G4) have a block size of 512 bytes and as you can see in the partition listing for the ls911 the start and end sectors are 1048576 and 9965567.

Calculate the block counts: 9965567−1048576 = 8916991 but that will not include the first sector itself as well so + 1 = 8916992

As you know that the block size is 512 bytes you can now calculate / verify the size as well: (8916992 * 512) / 1024 / 1024 = 4354 MB (i.e. 4.3 GB)

but you also got the block "count" so now you have all you need to create your own dd command depending on your specific partition table.

So in order to write at the start sector 1048576 you have to use the dd command like that:

dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.LS991ZV5.img bs=512 seek=1048576 count=8916992 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

bs: default bs for EMMC devices (can also be read from the device)
seek: start sector
count: calculates as described above

so why does this command differs in bs, seek and count ? bs defines how many bytes should be written at one bunch and you can use what you like as long as it fits into the block size of the partition table.

ok but why? the answer is simple: speed. if you write bigger chunks of data it will finish faster but choosing too big ones can cause trouble and at one stage you will not have performance benefits anymore.

a good practice is to use 10 times bigger then the block size. in this case it is 16 times (8192 / 512 = 16) but that is just fine tuning and ok as well.

so back to the above example. when you change the bs value you have to change everything else as well because it influences the others. A higher bs means you need to lower the rest and the other way around.

the calculation of that choosen factor 16 would be like that:

bs=512, increasing to 8192 (512 * 16)

seek=1048576,

decreasing

to 65536 (1048576 / 16)

count=8916992,

decreasing

to 557312 (8916992 / 16)

one warning: using wrong values can even HARD brick your device. so ensure you do it right and first of all get the partition listing (SALT -> advanced menu) of your device.

have fun ;)

[G4 General] AGABAJOSHUA:
Thank you. It now makes sense. I now get the math. :cool:

Am happily pushing system images.

Twrp however doesn't seem to like this route. As in always end up with stock rec.

Can i just be stubborn and USU my ls991 having arb=4 ? I know this is very stupid of me and certainly guarantees me a hard brick according to what i have read on the SALT thread and FAQs.

Would you please modify SALT to be able to safely Unlock my device :) or have i been living under the rock and salt already does this ? :D

Thanks once again for your time. I know this work is hecktic. I value your time sir.

As of recent, Can i USU my device having arb=4 ? Am attracted by the liberty it brings becaise my device doesnt do fastboot either.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
no UsU for ARB 4. it is IMPOSSIBLE.

the only tiny little chance you have (0.1%) is that you are lucky and having a non-fusing device (see http://bit.do/antirollg4 to check the ARB and if you see "nonfusing" in that menu you are one of these 0.1% and can even downgrade to lower ARB versions).

reg. TWRP: once flashed you HAVE to boot to it DIRECTLY as otherwise it will be overwritten by the system.

I have a rooted and unlocked N900V with metroPcs and LTE band 4 unlocked, but when I am on this network I can't get incoming calls!

In NETWORK MODE I have 3 choices: GLOBAL, LTE/CDMA and GSM/UMTS

When I set "GLOBAL" in "network mode" the phone go in 4G network but is not ringing and all incoming calls are directly forwarded to voicemail! I can call and internet data is working fine, the problem is just incoming calls! (I also checked call forwarding settings)

If I set LTE/CDMA no network.

If I set "GSM/WCDMA" the phone works fine and I get incoming calls but the data traffic is very slow because of EDGE coverage only! (no 4G/LTE network)

I also enable LTE band 4 in service mode already

Hello,

The last days I'm having problems to send long SMS text messages. Messages which contains 3 SMS messages ends up in a notification that the message cannot be send - and it's dropped in de concept folder. First I thought it could be the number of messages stored on my phone - so i cleared all folders. But the problem remained. Sometimes it works well and sometimes only after a few tries... my friends told me they received partly messages when it gives an error on my phone. Maybe it's a problem with my provider (Mobistar in Belgium) but before it seemed to work well with my Sony Ericson. Does someone have an idea what can cause this issue?

Thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] shadi.lahham:
I unlocked my Moto G5 Plus using instructions online and flashed a custom ROM and got root with Magisk 15. Everything works except for a strage issue which I haven't found a solution for even after weeks of searching:

The phone boots by default into Recovery and I have to manually go to bootloader to be able to boot the ROM.

I know this has to do with the phone trying to verify that the stock rom hasn't been modified, but how to I fix this and keep Viper (which I like).

I have looked into verity, safetyNet, ctsProfile, integrity check, etc however I did not find clear explanations to understand how to fix this issue.

Any help is appreciated. Ask if you need more info from me. If this is the wrong place to ask these questions please point me to the correct forum.

Hi guys

I don't know what to do anymore with these problem due to Google play services that consume my battery very fast.

So far I tried:

-uninstall updates and reinstall again Google play services via google play store

-freze some Google applications

-disable locations

-disable sync

-uninstall Google chrome and reinstall

-boot in the recovery and perform clear cache

-4 full resets of the phone

-flash again the stock firmware via Odin

After a few days this problem comes again and I Don t know what to do anymore.Is the first time when I have this problem,before note 8 I had S8 and the battery was awsome.

Sometimes if I restated the phone the problem goes away for a few hours...

What else should I try to fix this Google play services issue?

In the last 4 days I flashed another stock firmware via Odin with the same results..Google play services starts to consume the battery as soon as I start the Wi-Fi or mobile data.Right now I don't have installed any applications in my phone,just the stock ones and this **** Google play services is the first drain battery.I put my phone in Safe Mode and again,there is the first consumer,runs all the time and my phone is getting very hot due to this ****...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] piscabarka:
In setting>connection>data usage, find google play service and check if background data showing huge amount of mb. If so, maybe it's constantly running in background which draining the battery. Then in the same page, try to turn off 'allow background data usage'

This only effect when you're using mobile data. To make it effect when using wifi, check 'restrict network' and turn off the wifi network there. This should prevent google play service consume date in background.

Not sure if its work but worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cristy7610:
Thanks for this advice.Yesterday I flashed again another firmware with Odin and the problem is still here but only when I use Wi-Fi Google play services starts to run all the time and to stop it I have to power of Wi-Fi and restart the phone and use only data mobile.So far,this is my fix for this problem...will see in the next days

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IshtaNoob:
Ever since I got this device I've had issues with it being unable to correctly detect the battery level. Very often the phone discharges completely and shuts down, and upon a restart it shows 20% battery left.

I've tried calibrating the battery, but I'm either doing it wrong or it's not working... What else can be done to fix this discrepancy?
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isaks:
From my experience, if you use ROM based on Android 6.0 this can happen and in this case you must recalibrate the battery by draining it completely by few restarts and then charging it to 100% and leaving it on charger for 1h more. If you use 5.x Android this behavior is a sign of a battery loosing it's capacity. In which case you need new battery.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazakindjes:
This issue has been annoying me for quite some time, and after a lot of searching (and trying stuff) I've decided to make my own thread because nothing seems to help.

Let's say I'm at work and I turn on my phone's WiFi radio, this makes it connect to the work WiFi without problems. Now once I go back home, the network becomes out of range so it switches back to 3G/4G (so far so good). But when I actually get home, it takes 10-15 minutes before my phone finally decides it can connect to the WiFi there. I have certain appliances that rely on my phone making a timely WiFi connection so you can imagine this will trip a few of them because I'm long home before it finally connects. I already tried toggling various battery/power/app optimisations found across this forum, but as mentioned nothing works. Pretty sure it's because Android scans for nearby networks only once every X minutes.

Now, I can "force" it to connect by just knocking on the screen to turn it on, but I either forget this or have my hands full and am unable to knock (and shouldn't be necessary anyways). So in short: is there any way to force Android to check for networks every X seconds/minutes instead? I am rooted, if that helps in any way.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Figliodipartenope:
Hi everyone, guys.

I am an old owner of oneplus one and as such I have installed many different roms on it.

Yesterday I bought a mi6 in the 4gb version of ram and 64gb of internal memory.

My question is as follows:

The roms present in these topic can be installed only on the version of 6gb of ram or even on versions with 4gb ?

Thanks for any answers
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
Probably not much harm to try.

The question is: does Xiaomi list a separate firmware for the 4gb version or are you able to flash the same MIUI as the 6gb version?

If the same then yes should be fine to flash the ROMs here

If not then you need to work out what the difference is between the firmwares to find the difference you need for building ROMs for the 4gb variant.

Personally I think you'll find it's the same firmware and it just detects the amount of ram when booting. Like a PC
