I got my 3500 Da do Xing battery today.

Battery apps say it's 2700 mah.

But as far as I remember those apps just "know" that the 5x has a 2700 mah battery. They do not measure it.

Is there a way to measure the real mah?

Just an update

My 4GB oudini logic board is still working after a few months. Phone is my gf daily driver.

However a friend purchased the same logic board and started failing within 5 hours. Apparently he is going to get a replacement.

But anyway...now with refurbished pixels in amazon.com at 200-240 USD...I think that's a better deal.

It's because it is 2700mAh battery, take it out and remove the custom warp they put on it, you should be looking at the original lg battery. Talking out of experience.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

So i saw the same idea on XDA before, and i gave it a try, this is my experience so far:

*Motherboard

-Got the mobo, everything worked fine except the charging port is a bit awkward, the phone won't charge in every position, I have to move it a bit until it gets a proper connection. This didn't bother me that much., and the phone is noticeably snappier.

*Battery

-Now this one is a different story. Again, I got the item, was supposed to be 3500mAh, on the sticker its said 3400mAh, hmm, then i carefully got rid of the sticker, and voila, the original 2700mAh LG battery came forth.

-After that I had a discussion with the seller and I was told not to open up a dispute and I was promised that a "brand new battery that definitely has a larger capacity than 2700mAh" will be send to me. So I said ok, this was about a week ago, but I will update you if something interesting happens.

-As for the heatsink mod, haven't done it yet. I would have included links and photos, but apparently to do so I need at lest 10 posts.
[Nexus 5X General] dinindourden:
Just to share my experience so far:

Ordered one for my mother in law. Came with defective charging port. Could not charge it properly. Contacted the seller, he changed it to a new one asap. New board is flaweless.

Ordered for myself too, but it started to bootloop after 2 days of use. Can not be unlocked, relocks itself after each reboot. I will try a 4 core mod to see if it helps, but this must be changed back again.

So far 2/3 was NOK.

I hope the next one is better.

Where did you order? I chose oudini seller in AliExpress and from 4 months I have no problem. The seller tests the motherboard before sending. At least that way he told me

PS - The phone arrived with MM

[Nexus 5X General] dinindourden:
Bought it directly from oudini via AliExpress.

I flashed a modified boot with 4 cores, so now it boots, but it still freezes and reboots under some load (taking a picture, opening browser while play store is updating)

I guess these boards are still prone to BLOD, and I just received a faulty model. Anyway, it sucks because after the 2 big cores theb4 little cores will fail for sure after some time.

Update: My mother in law's phone just died. After restart the red "Your device is corrupt" warning appeared, and it did not boot anymore. The device was always on stock rom since she received the mainboard.

Maybe there was a wrong batch and we were both unlucky.

So I got a 4gb motherboard and did the heatsink mod.

This board H790 4GB

16 days from order to arrival in Ontario, Canada using aliexpress standard shipping.

These shims 100 pcs 0.1mm to 2.0mm

16 days from order to arrival in Ontario, Canada using aliexpress standard shipping.

I ended up using a 0.8mm shim with arctic silver 5 once I cut out the fabric insulator off the soc.

Results in a slight spring to the pcb as you fit in place.

The board reads as 3.9gb in android, unlike some of the pictures on aliexpress for the H791.

Came with 8.0 installed and no left over data.

Everything is working well so far; I will say that it does run cooler.

I'd guess ~10-15% less...

[Nexus 5X General] moonlightdrive:
Nice thread.

I did the thread about experimental homemade mod in the heatsink and a kind of rustic heat pipe. And just wanted to clarify: it is not dangerous.

I have been using this on several devices since a few years ago (nexus 4, nexus 5, nexus 5x). There is no really any kind of perfect combination for a disaster as i readed.

The "grey/silver thermalpaste" as i used this time its just cheap and ordinary silicon thermalpaste and claims to contain micro pieces of silver. It does not react to the metal in the frame, and nothing else.

I sold the 5x It never bootlooped.

Now i changed to a Moto z2 play, using lineageos and gcam (imx362 sensor, same as píxel 2) its the best replacement device i think, i recommend this for these who want but can't let go the 5x.
[Nexus 5X General] pedrohmc:
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Does your 5X still work after all this time? I'm looking to buy one of these chinese modded Nexus 5X motherboards to revive my old 5X! I understand the heatsink mod is crucial to avoid further bootlooping, so I was about to order the copper pad until I saw your comment (and LeonF's) about it causing GPS issues. I'm glad you posted this because now I'm ordering Arctic thermal pads instead.

I was just waiting for a price decrease and this seems like a good time to buy the motherboard. I can't post links (new user) but there's one on AliExpress that has 4GB RAM/32GB ROM and currently costs 78 USD because of the winter sales!
[Nexus 5X General] octavioromo:
Unfortunately I couldn't recommend the 5x, had 2 both boot looped. Had one completely replace by LG to one that looked new, and that one started looping about 6 months later. I tried to make it work, it's a solid phone but not worth the time. I got a use pixel and it's super solid phone. Save up a bit and just go for a newer phone. I always buy used that are a bit dated. Hope this helps!
[Nexus 5X General] pedrohmc:
I ended up not buying the motherboard because the sale ended before I expected, so I guess that's fate lol

I've had the OnePlus 5 for about 8 months now and was actually thinking of keeping the 5X as a backup phone, but I guess I should just give up on it then. Thanks!

Initial feedback on Oudini "4GB RAM" motherboard for Nexus 5X

Hello everyone. Couple of weeks back my nexus 5X died. It did not come as a shock to me as I was kinda expecting it tbh. It showed signs over last 6 months, like freezing once / twice a week and in later days 3 times a DAY !

Finally after it died I found this thread and immediately ordered the Oudini motherboard. I had a screwdriver kit, so I decided to do the replacement myself.

I am from India and the shipment took exactly 2 weeks to reach my door. It was packaged really well.

Installed the board onto my device along with a new oem(LG) battery (Not the large capacity one mentioned in OP). I paid attention to the small proximity sensor gasket that was sitting on the dead motherboard. Placed it onto the frame of device before seating the new motherboard.

After everything was done I powered it up and was surprised to see it running android 7.1. It has 3.6GB total memory and around 29GB of usable storage. :good:

I decided not to waste time, so I unlocked the bootloader. Then flashed latest Oreo image (DEC 2018). Then followed it up with the 4-Core TWRP from this thread :-

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/tool-bootloop-death-blod-workaround-t3819497

Then booted into recovery and flashed LOS 15.1, Pico Gapps, ElementalX 6.12, Magisk and MOST IMPORTANTLY BLOD AK2 Zip (from thread mentioned above).

I want to run the 4-core mod on this device as I don't play pubg or do any CPU intensive work. So far so good. I tested a bunch of stuff like phone calls, mobile data, gps, camera etc. All work perfectly.

Also the bootloader stays unlocked even after multiple reboots.

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE THEIR FEEDBACK ON THIS MOTHERBOARD. Thanks to [MENTION=1870157]LeonF[/MENTION] for this thread. Cheers !!
[Nexus 5X General] :
Hey, im also interested in buying this.

But first, it seems that if the guy selling this replaced the ram he also had to replace the cpu... so i would like to know which CPU is there installed? Could you please fire up some free system info app and find out which exact model of cpu does it have? We know that the original motherboard included Qualcomm MSM8992 Snapdragon 808, aka bootlop CPU, so im interested if this one contains something else, maybe less prone to bootlop some time in the future.

I would be very grateful, thanks.
[Nexus 5X General] peterpv:
It is not the CPU itself that's causing the bootloop issue but the combination of the CPU + RAM in one package. The issue is caused by connections getting loose between the packaged chips and the phone's PCB and/or connections inside the CPU + RAM package.

I do not think you can change / upgrade the CPU either, it has to fit in the whole design of the phone PCB so the CPU will be the same model as before.

If the CPU + RAM chip package was made in a "better" way than the original that is in the Nexus 5X then maybe it could be immune to the bootloop issue. There is no way for us to be sure, only Samsung and / or LG know the details of who (which factory) packaged those CPU + RAM
[Nexus 5X General] Dininthedrider:
Just an update after almost a year sice I purchased an oudini 4gb mainboard.

In total I have bought 5 pcs among which 2 were faulty (bootloader locked itself, then died in two weeks). The seller send a replacement for free, and those boards are still working fine. The last one I bought is ok, but the camera stops working after half an hour, and reboots when I try to open it.

So out of 5, only 2 pcs are without issues, but it worth to mention that the seller is very helpful, and replaced the faulty boards free of charge.

For the 80 USD price, you are better off with anothere device, but if you like to live on the edge, try the oudini boards :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Trinaaa:
Hi.

I saw some similar threads but the reason, why it´s happening wasn´t clarified...

As the title says, my pixel xl shuts down at around 60 percent while it was on the charger. I took the phone, tried to get the screen on - nothing.

Pushed all buttons some seconds - nothing.

Phone wasn´t recognized by the pc but than i read that you have to push the power button more than 20 sec...and it works.

Nothing lost...but now i´m afraid that this will happen more often. Someone experienced this too? I have the 128 gb model and some people do have the same problem - but could not reactivate the phone. Any reasons for these kind of shutdowns discovered? HW / SW?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Trinaaa:
I'm on the latest stock rom, feb security patch. BL unlocked, no mods.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kmartburrito:
I've had this happen twice now - my last pixel started freezing back in October, and would randomly reboot, started to increase in frequency, and I did several hard resets after each monthly patch. Finally in January, it died for good in exactly the same manner. I plugged it in on my charger, and the screen turned off and nothing. The only way I could get it to do anything was to hold the power and vol down for about 30 seconds, and it would vibrate quickly, but no screen response. I got a replacement pixel XL 128gb on Jan 14th, and my new one died on February 13th, in a similar manner. The difference is that I never had any reboots or freezing, I literally put it on the charger before bed, and woke up to it dead, with the same behavior of power and vol down making it vibrate, but nothing else. I don't have it rooted or custom rom, literally bone stock, BL not even unlocked. Trying to get a replacement from google fi as we speak. I really hope I don't have to pay another hundred bucks for a warranty replacement since this one didn't even last a month.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1avash:
Hi Everyone

3 hour ago I chose a pattern for my phone ( I also checked requesting pin on startup:silly: ) and after some time i turned my phone off.... after a while when i wanted to Turn it on it just doesn't accept my pattern .

i tried TWRP, on start TWRP also wants my pattern which it accepts when i enter exact same thing !!!

Now i have wiped everything and flashed the same rom again ( GZR Tesla Nougat Rom ) but STILL it requests my pattern and it doesn't accept my own pattern . . .

What should I do ?!?!?

ps: i read about deleting some screen lock related filed in data/system Folder . . . and i have deleted them ( this was before wiping everything )

Please Help Asap because i have lost contact with everyone :crying::crying::crying:
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] KingJ50:
On my original pixel phone I was able to bind DCIM to my sdcard OTG adapter which was really useful when recording video as 4K content will fill up storage quick. I would set this up from running the following command after connecting the adapter.

mount -o bind /mnt/media_rw/*adapter name*/DCIM /data/media/0/DCIM

This no longer seems to work with the Pixel 2. Now if I run the above command I can see the mount working in /data/media but the /storage/emulated directory still shows the old DCIM setup and recording with the Google Camera app still writes to the phone's internal storage.

I have also tried the command pointing to

/storage/emulated/0/DCIM

and

/sdcard/DCIM

as well remounting /data, /data/media, /storage, /storage/emulated (which throws the error "mount: '/data/media'->'/storage/emulated': Invalid argument").

None of these things have worked. I figure something has changed with the way the Pixel 2 handles the filesystem.

Is there anything I'm missing or has anyone had any luck trying this?

Hoping there is still a way to achieve this since Google seems to vehemently hate sdcards now and as nice as the unlimited Photos backup is, it's useless if I run out of space before I can do a backup (which has happened to me quite a few times at concerts). I would like to not have to use another camera app to use the sdcard as none of them seem to keep the stabilization of the Google camera app, but I am aware that it is an option.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
Have you tried (in English, not Linuxese) mounting the OTG adapter's picture directory to /data/media/0/DCIM? If /data/media/0/DCIM is mounted, maybe you can't change it, but maybe you can mount a directory on it - like Camera or Stick? Then point the camera at that directory? (I'm guessing a bit here, because my 2 doesn't arrive for another 2 days, and I'll be busy TWRPing it, rooting it and backing it up before I play with Terminal [which probably won't even be installed until the day after - I have "a few" apps to install, and a Bluetooth car audio to get the phone working on first].)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pauldow:
Sorry for dragging this issue out again, but I got my phone messed up again.

Situation is that I use PagePlus (Verizon MVNO) It was sorta working, but I was only getting 1X data on my A2017U running version B35. If I restarted the phone, I would get an LTE signal until the phone went back to standby. I got tired of that, and I took some time to try to get it reinitialized per the messages here and on the ZTE forum site.

The result now is the phone starts up, says Verizon Wireless for about 4 to 15 seconds, then it goes to No Service / Emergency Calls Only. LTE never appears on the screen.

To get to this condition, I backed up my files cleared cache and did a factory reset.

I put in a T-Mobile SIM. When I start with that, the top of the screen shows HOME and two bars. I restarted the phone a couple of times, then put the PagePlus SIM.

I can put the PagePlus SIM into my old Galaxy S4 and I get LTE service

With the PP SIM in place, under the SIM Settings, I have:

Network Mode: LTE/WCDMA/GSM

Data Roaming : On

Access point settings:

Name: Verizon Internet

APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP

MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 311

MNC: 480

APN type: default,dun,mms,supl

APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6

APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6

APN enable/disable: APN enabled

Everything else Not Set or None

In the phone diagnostics, it does show my proper phone number. The IMEI displayed matches the sticker on the back.

Current Network: blank

Signal Strength: -1 dBm 99 ASU

Voice Service: Emergency Calls Only

Data Service: Disconnected

Voice Network Type: Unknown

Data Network Type: Unknown

Voice Call Status: Idle

Roaming: Not Roaming

Preferred Network Type: LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL)

Right now it shows me attached to a Verizon tower since the Cell Measurement Info shows MCC is 311 and MNC is 480. It has attached to GSM signals at other times.

I thought I followed all the right steps. Did I miss something?

Thanks,

Paul
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cyborgshogun:
I had the same issue. I had to have Verizon manually approve the device on their network. I still don't have VoLTE, but i have data (4G) and calls. Call them and explain what your trying to do. They should help you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pauldow:
Thanks.

I tried calling, but their system kept wanting me to enter a phone number to get through. It hung up on my a couple times. I went to a Verizon corporate store today, but they couldn't (or wouldn't) help.

I tried calling Page Plus again just now. I got up to 2nd level support this time, and he went through the IMEIs for my phones. He was saying I had a different number assigned to my account that I couldn't identify. We ended with him suggesting a contact a local dealer.

After our call concluded, I was about to give up, so I started looking at the plans AT&T MVNOs offer. I went to Cricket, and it wanted the IMEI. by using #*06#

I forgot this thing has two. What I noticed is that the IMEI that appears when I go to *#*#4636#* phone information is IMEI2. IMEI1 is what PP has in their system for me. I can't put the CDMA SIM in slot 2

Another weird thing is after I went to #*06#, looking back through *#*#4736#* changes the IMEI correctly to IMEI1. I still don't get a signal. Now I'm getting No Signal with the T-Mobile SIM installed. I think I need to go mountain climbing to get this set.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hey Paul,

ZTE does seem to have de-stabilized the radio for me as well on B35. Oddly enough though, the Verizon SIM I have in slot 1 seemed to work ok...it was the MintSIM in slot 2 that seemed to be an issue, as it was barred from LTE (and showed 'No Service' unless I manually switched to WCDMA/GSM in the network settings) when switching from SIM 1 to SIM 2 for data and also after reboots when it was the data SIM. EDGE service seemed to work, but only when data was on Verizon or if I disabled LTE on SIM 2 if MintSIM was the data SIM.

It seems that with two GSM SIMs there wasn't as much of a problem...so this does seem to be related to CDMA in slot 1.

I fixed it (I hope...fingers crossed...seems to work better at least for now) by restoring the modem partition from my B32 backup in TWRP but keeping all other partitions in place from the B35 update. So basically I'm on the B32 modem firmware with the B35 system and boot and stuff. Of course, I know that may not be an option for you if you're not rooted but if you do happen to have TWRP and a B32 backup it may be worth trying. Good luck...I definitely agree there's some issue with what ZTE did in B35...CDMA has been affected adversely it seems...and all the typical magic tricks (i.e., using a GSM SIM, booting with no SIM, etc.) didn't seem to bring about a lasting solution either, though I didn't spend too much time on it before I opted to just do a restore to B32...

I've been looking for some help with my phone. Ive had a perfectly working axon 7 on verizon (mvno total wireless) for like 2 years with full volte and all the rest. Works perfect. Now I had an issue ewith the display on that phone and got a replacement shipped out and now even after spending a solid week figuring out exacly how to copy my setup I cant get volte or any voice service at all. Here is what I did.

I'm on RR 6.0.0-20180511, hellsgate 3.18.109, ver 2.3 & baseband TH.2.0.c1.9-. This the old phone and the new one I copied everything over to it exactly as it is except a made a few minor changes. Those are: switching to f2fs data and cache partitions for speed, updating the bootstack to a new B10-B32 version i found and thats it. Modem, twrp version and everything else is the same. So the question is could the bootstack be the issue. Now I also noticed one very odd issue. My IMEI do not match the back of the phone after putting in the sim card but why? This is really odd, it seems that changes the IMEI but how? It still has 2 IMEI and they both start with a 990 number instead of the 861 for the first imei that they usually do. Is there something to that?
