how much battery backup in new 2700 mah battery?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ondrasouk:
I did that mod only two hours ago, but my N5 on USB charger just give me 8 red blinks and 0.5 s pause and again 8 red blinks in endless loop. To/from battery there is almost no current. When I disconnect battery N5 just show battery icon and shut down and after 2 s again battery icon...voltage in battery is very low(2.9 V-2.8 V) and when i disconnect battery it show 4.8V and when i connect the battery multimetr show 0.5V(I checked polarity 10 000 times)...what is wrong? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 234herobrine432:
which battery board? I'm sure you did a short somewhere

can you upload some pictures how you connected everything?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kingkhan2843:
can anyone tell me how to calibrate nexus 5 battery. I installed lg g2 battery mod 3000mah and my phone is still showing 2300mah battery.please help me.Sorry for my bad english.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ondrasouk:
Yes, I have an short(my bad)...thanks.

I have another problem-phone is stuck in bootloop even when recharged battery(I also tested original baterry). TWRP recovery is working, but it is not charging battery. TWRP report battery is about 20% and no error in kernel log. I try disconnecting the middle wire, but no effect. When the phone si booting up with pluged USB, the current is about 500 mA to baterry, but in less then two seconds drops to 0 mA and phone is living only from USB power. In TWRP recovery the phone is only powering from battery(no current from charger).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 234herobrine432:
I think you didn't correctly connect the middle wire. Try to connect it to the left of the 3 golden connectors on the mexus 5 mainboard
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matthewclso:
Tried this mod a while ago. Tip for anyone looking to try this mod - heat the LCD itself and remove it from the metal frame before grinding off the metal, that way you don't have to be careful at all. My first attempt I cut away the metal correctly but the LCD broke, so I just continued cutting away the metal left and just replaced the LCD. Much easier if you remove first and then re-attach, that way there is no worry of damaging the screen.

Also, I wasn't able to continue with the mod because the gold contacts broke off. Any tips on how to solder directly to the copper contacts underneath? Kind of hard for me to solder there.

hello sir. I have installed nexus 5x battery in my nexus 5 and also calibrated but my phone is still showing me a 2300 mah battery.Help me.Sorry for my bad english.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 234herobrine432:
Just ignore that, that's like a 'label'

like you got a pc with an i5 sticker on it, but swap the cpu with an i7, the sticker still says it's an i5

the battery works as long as it has capacity, it has no controller which tests the real capacity, it just simply lasts longer
[Nexus 5 Accessories] themakersmarketandroid:
Just received a 2300 replacement ordered from Walmart.com. Shows manufacture date of October of 2017. Replaced 2013 battery. The old battery was very deformed (expanding).

Will let you all know about battery life once I put a few cycles through it. Running rooted stock 6.01 with a whole bunch of framework. No access to WiFi, connected at home to a Sprint Magic Box. Never more than 3 hours SOT.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kuppenhorst:
Anyone who tried a bigger battery with a higher capacity. Did you edit the capacity or recalibrate the battery? Did your device show the real/new capacity? I modded a lenovo zuk z2 pro from a 3090mah to a 4100mah but have some issues. I soldered the circuit board of an original oem battery to a xiaomi battery. My device seemingly doesn't understand or know that it has a bigger battery. It reboots when it thinks it's out of capacity. But that doesn't happen in recovery mode. Any advice?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lucaterpirla:
Did you swap the 2 battery boards or did you leave them in place? Do I have to desolder them and swap the BL-T9 board with the BL-T19 board?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 234herobrine432:
The 5x board has 4 connectors, the t9 only 3, so I swapped them
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lucaterpirla:
Great! I will buy a battery and try out this mod, hopefully without mistakes and see. Thanks a lot !

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nolfer:
My Nexus 5x BL-T19 battery just arrived, but even after dremeling away the higher aluminum line (I was using a G2 mod before) it is still too big for my chassis. Dunno what to do, might just buy another phone haha

Now I have to resolder the g2 :|
[Nexus 5 Accessories] supaticky:
i just bought a 3rd party battery straight from their official seller, here it is called SHOPEE.com: LOG-ON battery, claims to have 3500mah, which i doubt. but the good thing is, i found a manufactured stickered on physical battery 04/2018. so yea, might as well buy third party one. it is newer, less hassle. and in dollar, its about $4 shipped.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChongoDroid:
Just picked up a 5x battery thats oem and manufactured in 2017! Hopefully that's an improvement over the somewhat crappy experience I had with the newpower99 battery.

I'm familiar with customizing things with a dremel I'm just not too familiar with lithium ion batteries.

Do I remove the skin and then remove the small board connected to the battery then swap them with the factory battery board? Sorry if this has been answered before I'm just a little out of my element. Is this the same method as the g2 battery swap? If so I'll just watch a how to video on that
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ondrasouk:
You need to replace the small board with the one from Nexus 5 battery. Nexus 5X battery is a little thicker than original so you need very flat wires or copper sheet (of course you need to properly isolate it with tape).

It needs to be a little cautious with the dremmel and the aluminium dust will be everywhere, so remove all the boards and tape over every hole in the frame (mainly for camera and proximity sensor).

The small board is very fragile and heat sensitive (there is a fuse). Solder the wire from battery at the farther side as last thing (when you heat the black SMD board when under voltage from battery the board set permanent fail flag and blows fuse and even replacing the fuse will not work). Solder it with soldering iron for SMD and not with transformer soldering iron (very strong magnetic field around the tip can damage the board).

You need to boot it up and try if it charges, the sense wire to the board reports temperature and when it is not connected the battery temp is showing something like -190°C and the phone can not charge.

After verifying that battery works glue it or stick it with double-sided tape. Battery can damage the flat flex cable from motherboard to the bottom board when you for example drop your phone (it happened to me).

PS: Sorry for my bad english.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChongoDroid:
OoOoo maybe I'd be better off getting a 2016 G2 battery? I didn't know I needed a special soldering iron.

I have a very basic cheap 15 dollar soldering iron

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Looks like it's time to learn SMD soldering lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ondrasouk:
No need for special soldering iron (as long as it can melt the solder...). I mean, that soldering gun (transformer soldering iron) is not perfect for this work, because of the big currents (about 100A) creates strong magnetic fields. You have probably soldering iron with some kind of heating coil inside that heats the tip, so no big currents and strong magnetic fields that can destroy electronics.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChongoDroid:
Yeah I just did some research and it seems totally doable. Thanks for the replies.

According to a news post on Msmobiles.com the mda compact 4 could very well feature the specs that paul over at modaco suggested a while back at mwc! the vga screen, 4 gb of memory, 3 megapixel camera, and a 3D INTERFACE!!! surely this can't be an HTC device, specs like this rarely come from a Compact HTC device!. HTC can't even get 2D working properly in there current range let alone 3D, and a VGA screen in a compact, nah not HTC. So what is this, or is it gonna be another HTC that claims, and then only half delivers!

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
Well, I have owned my XT1625 for one year and four months. After countless runs with both custom Nougat and Oreo ROMs I am back on rooted stock (December -13 version) with ElementalX kernel. To put it simply, everything just works. Period. No issues with the camera or GPS. Performance is great and battery life is as good or better than any custom ROM I have tried bar none.

Guess the grass isn't always greener. ;)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I've had a similar experience with the June, September and December 2017 stock Motorola ROMs. I've found the rooted stock ROM to be quick, and with the ElementalX kernel/EX Kernel Manager, I can tune the CPU down to not run as hot (1344 MHz or 1094 MHz/1209 MHz ) :) magisk 15.3 runs invisibly and stably too.

Whilst it would be nice for ElementalX to be updated to the Sept 2017 kernel code, it still runs well, and the only thing I miss - themes - is hopefully coming in the Oreo update with Substratum/Andromeda support :)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ____Mdd:
Still you can use with substratum legacy support, it makes no difference than installing in system. Right?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
True that echo92! There are several other little tweaks to the UI and bars that I miss (advanced boot for one). But I enjoy being able to use my GPS or take a pic/video without it crashing. I truly hope we do see an stock Oreo update. But even if we don't I am content to stay on my current setup until I replace my phone.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
I had my time with CM and Lineage ROMs but if someone wants stability and functionality the only option is the stock.

Root as noted above.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fede79:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] imonkeys:
Could you please link me how you rooted and installed Magisk? I've tried few times but magisk was a major issue... and I had to install a different "su" app, otherwise bootlooplooplooploop...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DECHTECH:
To flash magisk on stock I think you need a custom kernel like ElementalX. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] halifage:
Yup. only "stable" way to root is by flashing a different kernel.

Also came back full circle and agree that it's sadly the only way to get a fully functional phone. Additional features can be added through xposed but it breaks some vital apps for me. So it's #Stock+Root all the way for me.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
As DECHTECH and halifage have mentioned, you need a custom kernel or a reliable way to disable DM verity on the stock kernel to flash magisk. Else, if you try to flash magisk onto an unmodified stock Motorola kernel, you'll trip the anti rooting protections and cause a bootloop.

The straightforward way is to flash ElementalX v 1.04 kernel in TWRP (or the vegito kernel) before flashing magisk or SuperSU. Here's a general procedure if you want a guide https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72496111&postcount=270. It is a bit old, but the general steps have worked on stock ROMs up to December 2017 in my experience. Of course, if you've already unlocked, no need to do it again :)

I don't know if you could use magisk (at least v14/15) to patch the stock boot kernel to remove DM verity, and so be able to root on a modified stock kernel, something to try. However, ElementalX and vegito give you plenty of options to tune your device if you do wish to, which the stock kernel may not provide. As always before flashing anything, make a backup in TWRP.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] imonkeys:
Ok, thanks a lot.

I've unlocked, but when the update stock come out in December I put everything back to stock wit locked bootloader.

Now I suppose I would loose all my data... :(
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hc803:
I think this thread is answering my question, but I just got an XT1625 (non-Amazon) with Marshmallow on it. As soon as I fired it up, I had the OTA update notification for Nougat. Rather than upgrading, I just went ahead and unlocked and rooted because it seemed much easier on 6 than 7. Sounds like this may have been the right call, but am I missing out on anything by keeping MM?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DECHTECH:
For everyone who is reverting to stock due to issues on custom ROMs: I'm currently running AICP Nougat paired with the Vegito Kernel and rooted, but I have ZERO bugs, the ROM is super smooth and battery life is awesome. Everything seems to just work.

I ponder as to what issues people have on custom roms. Oreo has some issues but most nougat LOS and AOSP based ROMS work fine without small issues, at least for me on my XT1642.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
My main issue with the custom ROMS is battery life. I ran AICP for a couple of months and it was one of the most stable. But stock still provides me better battery life. The issues I have had with various Nougat Custom ROMs are related to performance when gaming, cameras not working 100%, losing access to some of the apps I run, and, as mentioned, battery life. Not all of them have all of these issues but they all have at least one. Since I can get the access to all of my apps and what I want to customize and modify through my current setup as well as the best battery life I will stick to it.

As I said in my initial post, it is not a decision I made lightly. Only after trying almost every custom Nougat ROM and 3 different Oreo ROMs did I come back to Stock. It was a 16 month journey. In all fairness, in the beginning I got better battery life on the custom ROMs. But that is not the case with the latest available stock.

In comparison, on my Samsung T813 Galaxy S2 Tablet, the custom ROM I use blows stock out of the water with all features.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
CM14.1 builds had better battery life compared to LineageOS and Oreo based custom roms. That's what I observed over more then one year.

Proof: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4Zy8uoEfFKLLXF4VkVJNHlOdTQ that was cm-14.1-20161224-NIGHTLY-athene.zip
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
Which makes no sense because Lineage was based on CM wasn't it? And CM is no more.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
Sure I know that lineage was based on cm, but why could be cm not be better in terms of battery life? Only why cm is dead?

I only posted this to make clear that not every evolution of software is good(here in terms of battery life).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
It could be better than Lineage and Oreo based ROMs. I just don't think it is better than the current setup I am now running. What is the latest version of CM currently available? Late 2016. In my book that makes it dead for newer devices. The code in Lineage is essentially CM and any pure CM is outdated as far as security and features.

True. But I have seen no proof that CM battery life is better than what I am now getting now with the latest stock/ElementalX setup. In fact I do not recall ever getting better than about 1.8% drain per hour overall with CM. I am currently getting 1.1% drain per hour overall.

Also, I can't access your link because I don't have the permissions.

Sorry: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4Zy8uoEfFKLLXF4VkVJNHlOdTQ

Latest version is the one I posted above. I know your setup and usage behavior is different. But for my setup and usage behavior good old cm14.1 was better then everything today and also stock nougat for example. That it's outdated is known and i don't advertise to install cm14.1 anymore :good:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vinkho:
OP's story might as well be my own. I've not even tried any of the Oreo ROMs because the same devs pushing Oreo ROMs left many 7.1 roms buggy, so can't expect miracles.

My guess is that the main issue many of the devs are facing is driver support? Moto hasn't released 7.1, so no source code. I'm hopeful we see an official Oreo as promised... Maybe things will be better after that.

Thank you. I just went 72 hours with moderate usage and I still had 44% battery left. I never came close to that kind of life on any custom ROM, of any version.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mikwit:
Battery life, yes! I've got a Moto G4 - XT1625 that I've been running on stock 7.0 Nougat rooted for over a year. I usually get about 3-4 days between recharges. Only downside has been this annoying upgrade notification from Motorola! The OTA update would download, then reboot to install, and fail. I assume the failure due to having TWRP recovery instead of stock recovery? I've been trying the different 7.1 and 8.0 ROMs, and really like the customization, but ouch the battery drain! Some days I haven't made it through a 12 hour day before the battery is dead.

So I'll probably update to the latest stock ROM to get rid of the interrupting upgrade notification, and hopefully still have acceptable battery life.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Shankay.htc:
I have a kinda complex problem with this device.

Someone called me last night scared because she (kinda) deleted an entire messages thread from the phone ( SMS ) and it was an accident.

Now, she really need those messages because of a juridic case. Is there any way to recover old messages that were deleted from that thread ?

I tried to recover with EaseUS mobile Data Recovery, which (for desktop version) i used in the past for other laptops and Desktops to recover deleted files or formatted disks, but with phones, it requires me Root. I recently Rooted my HTC device and this process "wipe" whole data from your phone. As i know, Windows Kernel and Linux Kernel (the one used in Android OS too) have the same file management system, so the point is, this "Wipe" what actually does with MBR ? It hard format the disk, or it just modify MRB's File Table by deleting it's references pointers to files ? A hard format (switching every single bit to 0 from where MBR ends, all the way to the end of the partition) takes a lot of time, especially in these smartphones, because they have a lot slower storage speeds, and on my HTC device, this process took like 1-2 seconds so i hardly can imagine that actually it deletes the data, so with the MBR's mechanism in mind, i really take this in consideration to root the phone and use that software to recover that thread.

My main concern is that, i don't really know what file shall i restore. If these SMSes are stored into a database, when a thread is deleted, the phone can simply "drop records"... i mean, it can simply delete records from the tables, and tables being stored in a database as a single file, ell, and they are gone... for good in this case scenario....

The only way i think i will act if someone confirm that this is the way to recover it, i will restore every single file of the phone that was deleted before accident happen and i will look for SMS database to be modified a day after the thread was deleted. Is this the good way, i'm about to do a pointless action by rooting this device?

I have to mention, the thread is now created again, have 3 new mesages with that person, but there were like 1k+ in that thread before... so, how to recover them?

Thank you in advance for any information.
