[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tanwg:
Hi, I was on stock unrooted OB3 and today updated to 8.1. But since OB3 I have an app called "Files". I can't open it as it keep closing itself. Clearing data does not help too. And I cannot Uninstall it.

Anyone faced this before?

I can't attach my screenshot from my phone as XDA app keep trying to open from this Files app.

I will try to attach from my computer when I get the chance.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
I just updated mine ota from ob3 to 8.1 b1 and that Files app works fine. Did you sideload the update?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tanwg:
No I didn't. I did OTA. I did however revert back to OB3 from LOS and relock my bootloader.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
Try factory data reset to see if that helps and I believe it will.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tanwg:
I tried factory reset and was happy that Files worked. But after I restored all my apps, it stopped working again. In the end I had to uninstall my apps one by one to find the conflicting app. It is working properly without the problem app.

Thanks for the help!

Not substratum. I don't have that. It was an app called "Active SG"..
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Crake:
After searched everything online i couldn't find any help, so here it is:

My honor 8 suddenly has stopped searching the contacts by T9 on the stock dialer.

Have already searched every item on the definitions, but i simply couldn't found anything related to this, so is there any clever soul who can help me??

Any suggestion will be very appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Just to comment to you.

This anomaly only happened after one year, then i solved it with this tip, but now, after 4 or 5 days i have to do it again in order to have this working normally!

Maybe it is due to the 1100 contacts i have on the phone...not sure.

Same here as well. I'm on the new Oreo that now has been pulled. Lots of errors, battery drain when using phone big time, missing picture in picture, but biggest mistake is that all files are allowed to be installed without consent!. How to now go easy back to Nougat?

Are you also having the same problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BuBbLeFIZzY:
Go to device maintenance click on battery. Click on MID choose customize option at the top before you apply. I just leave the limit cpu speed on. I get over an hour sot every 18% YouTube alot and music. Only thing is apps start to lag when you switch really fast. But it probably won't if you don't close it. I have a habit of closing all apps before I turn my phone off. Whatever govener Samsung is using always max out the cup when you click something which drains the crap out of the battery. I use to charge my phone every half of the day until I did this. Closing and disabling apps didn't help at the beginning. This was the most effective way for me to see a big difference. Btw using auto brightness at 45%
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nagdy:
I am on Nougat, no problems at all except the battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nagdy:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Install a data monitoring apps, maybe you have some apps working in the background and draining the battery at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jostian:
having data on chows battery, phone is excessively pinging towers, if you are on WiFi disable data in settings, make sure your location is set to battery saving (if using GPS yr battery will suffer, plus one only needs GPS for navigation), there are a bunch of bloatware apps and processes that run continually so install a package disabler or use a debloater to remove the 'junk'.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nagdy:
I am on data 24/7 I am only allowing 3G/2G to work, maybe that's the problem?

This time I tried something new, I entered *#0228# code when the mobile was at 15%, turned on Airplane mode and let the phone charge till 100%

I also turned location off and thing started getting better
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jostian:
Havng data on 24/7 will hurt, even just 2g/3g as phone is pinging towers for 3G, if you are i wifi area switch of Data, that'll be worth 20%
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dehkun:
After Oreo update, I'm having the best battery saving of all time.

0.8%/h on stand-by (using dual Sim cards). 6-7h SOT. On Nougat, it was 3%/h on stand-by and only 4-5h SOT.

I did 4 things to achieve it (without root):

1. I followed this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/help/guide-hunting-wakelocks-battery-drain-t3697324

Note: "Service Disabler" functionality was removed due to Google Play policies. Fortunately, the developers provided the previous apk with this functionality at their website: https://kunkunsoft.wordpress.com/news_2/

2. Switched to 3G when 4G signal was weak (2-3 bars).

3. Used Brevent app (must use adb commands every reboot, unfortunately): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.piebridge.brevent

4. Used Tasker to: disable WiFi when Screen-off (except when Spotify is playing); disable Auto-Sync when Screen-off and enable it every 20 minutes; put Location Services to Battery Saving when Screen-Off (except when Waze or GMaps is running) and High Precision when Screen-On.

AutoTools (Tasker plugin) will let you modify some of those adjustments even without root (must enable it once via adb commands).

BBS and GSam are great tools to find out what's draining your juice. For me, it was mainly wlan_wakelocks (due to bad WiFi configuration), nlp_wakelocks (apps and Google apps draining when High-Precision is on), and Auto-Sync. Sometimes it's harder to identify the culprit because many apps wakelocks are hidden in Kernel wakelocks, so the first step above helped me significantly reduce Kernel wakelocks.

Why is your WhatsApp icon blue and why is it using so much battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sp1312:
You have used your S8 continuously within 6-7hrs.. S8 does not have bigger battery plus the apps like facebook, other social media apps drain battery like hell... getting 3-4 hours of Screen on Time is quite OK not Bad...

try using other app for facebook.. like FRIENDLY.. it almost same as facebook and battery friendly also...

[MTCD Software Development] tvladan:
So i have a px3 2g unit with malaysk rom installed on it to wich i attached a 500g laptop hdd using a y cable for 5v from acc. On the hdd i have about 12000 mp3's. The hdd is mounted on the usb1 as media storage. My problem here is as follows:

I turn the ignition on.

The head unit starts up and mounts the hdd as otg

All the files are available via file explorer almost instantly but

On the music player ( the default one ) and several others from the store it takes forever (almost 5 minutes) to index the files. I suppose it's the media scanner that sees the newly mounted storage and rebuilds the media library.

As you might imagine this is kinda annoying cause evreytime i turn the ignition off and than on again i have to wait 5-10 minutes in order to resume playback. Some players like powerplayer give an error saying invalid media. the stock music player tryies to resume play back from where it left but just can't because the media scanner it's not done rebuilding the media library. So is there a workaround? Can i disable media library rebuilding at every mount of the otg? I will not midify the contents of the mp3's folders on the hdd and i do not need it to rebuild it every time i turn the ignition on. Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] naplesbill:
I use Media Monkey as it only has to build the index once.
[MTCD Software Development] sirleeofroy:
PowerAmp works for me, only scans the first time or when I force it due to adding content.
[MTCD Software Development] dussy81:
I'm using a 32GB Samsung pendrive, and I have a problem with it.

It does not start the music just it is a second time in the music player app. ( is Factory and Poweramp player )
[MTCD Software Development] tvladan:
After trying media monkey, poweramp, playerpro and of course the stock player I arrived at Gone Mad Media Player.

This one seems to be the most promising so far. It creates it's own media library, can do this automatically or manually, it has a highly customizable interface, pretty decent sound quality and in my case it is only limited in resuming playback by the time needed for the system to remount the hdd(otg). Wich in my case it's pretty big ("checking for errors" before mount takes 10-20 seconds because of the 500g hdd i'm using) but still it's a great improvement compared with the stock player that needs 10 minutes to reindex all the folders when the ignition is turned on.

Also GMMP has a Tasker integration setting that i hope could be used to resume playback triggered by usb masstorage being mounted event. So i have high hopes for this setup. I did not have much time to test since today i wiped the unit clean and updated to malaysk 3.0.

Also i found a usb mount apk by chainfire that seemd to mount the otg faster. I'll do some testing and post back. But still i greatly recommend gonemad media player for ppl who have a large mp3's collection on usb sticks or on usb otg hdds.

Poweramp also works pretty good, only i could not find a way to auto resume playback from where it left when the ignition is turned back on.
[MTCD Software Development] korekore1:
Hi i m in the same situation,just bought the unit,can you provide your latest feedback on your setup?
[MTCD Software Development] tvladan:
yup ... for now I bougt a 128g micro sd which remains mounted during car start - key turn (opposed to the usb that for some reason gets power cutoff). Also after trying gmmp for a while I switched to playerpro. I now have a 70G music library that player pro recognizes instantly after one initial 5 minutes scan that the app auto took after install.

The trick was to use the micro sd (that remains mounted in the system) or to try and find a direct +12v wire (that doesn't cuts off power during ignition) to power the Y cable (the cable also has a phone charger that makes 12v to 5v needed to power up the hdd) I used for the hdd. The second option required more work and unfortunately I didn't had the time to unmount (again) the head unit and fiddle with the cables ... for now the 128g sd card works well.

For the resume play part I use tasker and that works pretty good even with playerpro.
[MTCD Software Development] korekore1:
thanks for the feedback!

So the hard disk setup didnt work out?Were there issues you couldnt resolve?

i will use a 5400 laptop hd that gets power from the usb cable.I have the android unit on the continuous 12v cable from the battery.

The thing i care about is not having to wait 5 minutes for the default player app to rescan all files (400gb).

I m also worried about it draining the battery when android sleeps,but thats another issue..
[MTCD Software Development] tvladan:
the issue is that you need continuous power (5v) to the hdd, even during ignition event so the hdd won't unmount ever ... basically you need a y cable wiht the 2 data wires comming form the head unit and other 2 wires (+/-) coming from the battery. The power cables must be always on during key turn to start the car so the hdd won't unmount -that should be the first thing for you to test. (A better and more sure ideea would be that the hdd never gets powered down even with key off - out of the ignition not sure about this setup cause I haven't tested it) The power consumption during sleep should be minimal because most modern hdd's have a power saving / idle function and the head unit has a very good sleep mode.
[MTCD Software Development] korekore1:
thanks for the info!i hope the 12v continuous from the battery to be enough.I can see the led from the hd's external case light up even if the car is turned off so i think it gets power
[MTCD Software Development] tvladan:
I also had a continuous +12v from the battery to the head unit. The unit itself didn't turn off during engine start (key turn) but the usb +5v that came from the head unit's usb socket got cut off. Also the +5v that came from the back of the head unit had a low amperage (0.2) and could not keep the hdd spinning ... so, that's why I made the Y cable(for greater amperage) ... but my mistake was that the +12v from the car I used to power the phone charger that powerd the hdd came from a wire that got cut off during engine start ... I never tested the setup enough before putting the head unit back in it's place ... so basically what happened in my case was:

- insert and turn key to on position: android waked up, mounted hdd, all was good

- turn key to start engine: android remained awake, hdd got disconnected and unmounted

- engine started: hdd starts, android starts to remount the hdd ... checks for errors (about 10 to 30 seconds)

the media scanner problem got solved (even with mount/unmount/remount because of the engine start) once I used gmmp and latter playerpro.

than I just got bored and bought the micro-sd ... I have no ideea how things are in the dashboard behind your unit but in my case on my santa fe it's a real mess of cables that require lots and lots of patience to be mounted back on the car ... so taking the head unit off the car and putting it back it's a real struggle for me :)

Explain your problem clearly. Did you mean, Phone is not booting??? If it is so, try reflashing Stock ROM using Flash tool. If your phone bootloader is unlocked, you should not turn on "My Xperia" secrurity feature, else it will be in boot loop.

If you don't know anything, visit your nearest Sony Service Centre.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] egandt:
I just got the phone, so I have nothing installed and nothing to loss at this time, luckily.

I have unlocked and installed Codeworkx TWRP and Magisk for root.

The phone was fine, I configured some settings then rebooted to TWRP and made a backup, before installing anything.

This is when I encountered the issue:

Upon rebooting the phone is stuck at "Android is Starting..."

Now I can unlock (pin or fingerprint) and access settings, but only settings as I have no launcher.

I tried rebooting and wiping the cache and Dalvik without any change

Since I'd restarted more than once without issues I can only assume the cause was performing a backup via TWRP.

Now as stated I have nothing installed I can wipe anything and begin again, but if this happened in a normal situation, I'd be in real trouble. Any Ideas why this happened?, as it seems very odd that I can access the phone and setting, but can not get a launcher to start.

More over any suggestions on how to fix it short of reinstalling?

I'm very worried as this would make the phone unusable if it happened in a normal situation.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] wvthoog:
can someone point me towards a persist.img, or make a backup on their own Moto G4 Plus and sent it to me please.

i've backed up mine, but it seems to be corrupted and prevents me from using the cellular part of the phone.

thanks !
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] wvthoog:
Little bump on this thread

After some more reading i figured that i appearantly whiped my EFS (NV) items from my phone by moving the persist directory. Came accros a few post specifying Qualcomm's QPST software in order to restore the EFS items. I've booted the phone in diag mode and can make a backup up my EFS (NV) items using the Backup option in QPST Software Download.

But since my IMEI is now 0 (on both SIM slots) i can't seem to find the position of the IMEI number in a HEX editor.

I'm following this tutuorial which seems (in my opinion) the most viable one for succes.

So what i need is a QCN backup of a working Motorola G4 Plus with the IMEI numbers replaced. (say 0X1A1111111111 and 0X2A222222222)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Jerome-X:
Hi, i am sure noone would like to share his NV-Backup to any other user. This IMEI is uniqe like a MAC-Address. Never saw a replacement of an IMEI in this way. You can try to download an app, which gives you a fake IMEI, use IMEI Analyser (for ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzZ0yhkxX0). I also tried this on my MOTO G and it works perfectly. Root is needed.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] DgnrtnX:
If you have retail box then copy paste that emei no and try using it, may work for you
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] wvthoog:
I've got both my IMEI numbers (which i grabbed from the sticker behind the back cover)

Problem is, i don't know where to insert them in Qualcomms QCN file since (according to tutorials) i have to search for 08xA (where x is the first number of my IMEI). Which in my case is reset to 0. Searching for 080A doesn't yield any results
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] wvthoog:
Tried several of those apps, don't seem to work on my phone (which is rooted) Als tried some IMEI rewrite apps offered by the Xposed framework. No dice.

NV-Backup would be best, i just need to figure out where to insert my own IMEI in that file. So if someone could remove both of their IMEI's from the NV-Backup and replace them with (lets say) 08 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 and 08 22 22 22 22 22 22 that would be great.

The tutorial which I mentioned doesnt need persist partition. You should be on your own persist and not of someone elses, thats the criteria.
