[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It doesn't use much battery compared to Adaptive Brightness off unless you keep your screen at something low like 10% or less the whole time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cd993:
I've always, even with previous phones, used manual brightness. Partly because I am usually happy with brightness to be kept at, for this device, at 15% and if I need to adjust Ill use Brightness Control. I also feel that battery life must surely be better as the sensor isn't constantly being used to gauge how bright the screen should be and lastly always found autobrightness to increase/decrease the screen brightness randomly, e.g. Say in my living room and it'll just increase/decrease slightly.

So ultimately I'm very happy just to manually adjust
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dieselhazza:
Mine is set to.20% with auto brightness enabled. At most times it hovers very close to 20%. I guess if i disabled auto brightness i will get better battery life. At the moment i average 7 hrs SOT.

So what do you achieve in terms of SOT at 15% brightness
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cd993:
I've been averaging around 6hrs (just need to stay on one rom long enough haha)

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] len.asdf:
Dear XDA,

I screwed up... I think my device is now soft bricked.... :crying:

It all started good on a sunny saturday. I thought this was a good day to try another custom rom. Namely Codename Phoenix.

My device was already rooted so i started with upgrading my TWRP to the latest Blu_Spark TWRP 3.2.1. After flashing the recovery i continued with the ROM. It all went downhill from there....

The install finished and i booted my device. Knowing this could take a while i got into the shower thinking it would finish when i got back. But when i got back it was still booting. Knowing the first boot can take a while so I let it be. After an hour or so it was still stuck on the google logo and the weather and my mood changed for the worse.

I figured something in the process went wrong and tried to boot into recovery. That worked so I thought 'Cool, let's fix it there'. But the recovery was encrypted so i couldn't get to my data. Normally you put in your pincode and it decrypts your phone. This was not the case.... I couldn't put in my pincode so decrypting was out of the question.

Luckily ADB was still working so I downloaded the original Oxygen OS rom and tried to side-load it... This got stuck on 47% for no reason at all. Phone had 100% battery and didn't time-out..

I was really confused, but I let the device do it's thing and maybe things would work out... I was wrong. Everything was worse. Because i tried installing the original firmware it removed the custom recovery....

So now i have a device with no OS and I can't get into recovery. Luckily there is a unbrick tool for OnePlus 5. Following those steps i got stuck on the part that it does not show in my device-manager.

Currently i'm really grumpy and have no idea how to fix this.

I humbly ask for advice. Is this solvable or do i have a wasted OnePlus 5?

Thanks in advance,

Lennard

can you reboot to bootloader?

if yes, you can flash original or custom recovery...

Don't worry! Your device is safe. At most, you'll be required to wipe your data.

Try using the official twrp recovery here:

https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html

If this doesn't work, let me know.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] len.asdf:
I can go into fastboot and managed to install TWRP with the comment below!

Thanks for these words! That's a big relieve :)

With your link I managed to install TWRP through fastboot. So now i have a custom recovery. The current problem is that my data is encrypted and I cannot decrypt it. There is no option to fill in a password since there is no OS that requires a password. So it's sort of a neverending cycle :). Although fastboot, recovery and sideload should work now.

The thing is, previously I tried installing the original firmware and that failed at 47%. So i'm not sure what to do now.

I tried installing 'codeworkx universal twrp 3.2.1-0 recovery' since he seems to have fixed the encrypt issue. But when I tried sideloading the file it says "Zip file is corrupt!". So no succes there yet.

To be precise, this is the threat for Codeworkx Universal TWRP : https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723

And i downloaded and tried installing: twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img

I was thinking about downloading the latest Codename Phoenix ROM, but when I try to download the latest release the file is name "Codename-Phoenix-NOS-8.1-oneplus5t-20180303.zip". That implies it's only for the 5t and not for the 5. So that could be my original problem? That i downloaded the wrong ROM?

That aside.

Should I try to get the download link for CNP and download the latest release for the OP5 and install that.

Or

Should i try to install the original firmware. Reset everything and start over from the beginning (unlocking, rooting, etc..)

Thanks again for all the help :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Zohair.ul.hasan:
Nice to hear that!

To be clear, does the TWRP decrypt you data? When you click install in TWRP, is it a bunch of randomly named files?

I think you should go ahead with installing CNP, you shouldn't have any problems with it now that you've got the correct version.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] len.asdf:
Yeah it's a bunch of random file names. Like "2TAjnCI8CpHDL38Oh684DuTSgaO".

Alright, i'll let you know if I succeed. Thanks for the help :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Zohair.ul.hasan:
Wait! Staying encrypted is a bunch of trouble. I recommend u to follow these steps:

Go to recovery

Select wipe

Select advanced wipe

Clear dalvik and cache

Go back

Select wipe

Click "Format Data"

Type in yes

Go back

Select wipe

Swipe to factory reset

Reboot recovery

Transfer the ROM from PC to phone

Install it
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] len.asdf:
Haha thanks! Just in time. Was still downloading the latest CNP :).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Zohair.ul.hasan:
Whew! Update me after flashing.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] len.asdf:
Hmm, the installation should be a succes. But when i tried to reboot and start up the OS / System it just reboots into TWRP.... ? It's sort of boot looping into recovery.

I tried installing a couple of times with and without wiping dalvik/cache/system.

Could the install file not be complete?

On a side note, my data is not encrypted :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Zohair.ul.hasan:
Did you factory reset by going into wipe>swipe to factory reset?

If not then do that and flash it
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] len.asdf:
YES! It work. Many thanks :D

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sleze:
My last two phones (S4 Active and S5) had micro USB ports that eventually wore out so much that I was constantly angling the power cords so that they would charge. Because of that experience, I am tempted to just get a qi adapter for my moto so that I never have to worry about it (in addition to the niceties of wireless charging). Of course, that is actually a considerable investment since I would need to add chargers at my bed, at my desk at work, in my car and then have a portable one for travel.

So my question is this: Are USB-C ports on phones susceptible to wear over time similarly to the Micro USB?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] phenomenalblaze:
Yes, they are so much better.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Jizzylax:
Sure, every electronic is subject to wear and tear.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sleze:
Well, I made this observation as my work IPhones with their (annoyingly) proprietary lightning ports have not exhibited this wear and tear. The cables and the ports are not what wear out.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] MeltingSnowman:
I've used my phones for many years and never ever had issues with it. My Moto G still plugs in strong just as much as my Galaxy Ace. I've been charging those phones at least once a day for three years each. I don't know how it's possible to wear out the connector even more. I guess plugging and unplugging constantly. Anyway the USB C it's a much stronger connector and even the metal tip it's beefier than the micro USB one. I don't think a charging pad is needed but it's up to you to decide if it's worth or not.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] thetolsonator:
This is my 2nd USB C device and I've had the same cable from when I had my LG G5 and it's still just as solid as day one. USB C is a FAR superior connector to micro/mini USB
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] pietpietersen:
they also feel stronger to me,

but if you're really worried then you could also use those tiny magnetic microusb adapters

(not sure if they already exist for the USB type-C, but I figure they do)

ps. the most likely reason ppl mess up micro-usb ports is because they try to force them in upside down repeatedly.

with USB type-C you can't do that ;)

USB type-C was something i specifically wanted on my new phone just for this reason.

Recently I've been getting a wakelock called NETLINK that quickly drains my battery. What is NETLINK and what causes it? How can I stop this wakelock?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I'm not sure what netlink is but I'm assuming it has to do with wifi being active. Two things to check, and will help battery if it is related to WiFi. In settings, wifi, go to the gear in the upper right hand corner, settings menu. I think the "use open WiFi automatically" is what's related to netlink. See if that's turned on and if it is then turn it off. Also, if you see " keep WiFi on during sleep" set to something other than never set it to never and you'll save a lot of battery.

For those repeatedly saying to just buy an aftermarket charger, that doesn't work if you want to use the cable to connect to a PC to transfer files or flash the phone.
