[LG G6 Questions and Answers] :
Hi,

I'm running fulmics rom 3.5 on my LG G6 and while the battery life overall is pretty satisfying, it seems to drain it like crazy when listening to music. It's around 20 to 30% per hour.

According to Gsam the 4 biggest battery draining sources today are :

-Android system

-System (*wakelock*)

-retro music (my music player)

-System (*wakelock*) yes there are 2 system wakelocks

This is with my phone basically sitting with the always on display the entire day doing nothing except for 60min of music listening to get those stats.

When checking Wakelock detector the number one wakelock by far is retro music with "android.media.mediaplayer" being the one that's active the longest.

I installed fulmics with viper so I tried uninstalling the driver to see if it changed anything but it didn't.

I installed naptime but again it didn't change anything.

I tried playing music from the SD card and from the internal memory with no difference between the 2.

I wanted to give amplify a shot since I have xposed installed but for some reason it just refuses to work (every tab is just blank without a single wakelock or service displayed)

I tried several music players but all gave the same result.

So I'm kinda out of ideas. The only thing I can think of is to wipe and reinstall from scratch but that's a bit of a pain given all my two factor authorization apps would need to be reconfigured so if anyone has any other idea, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:
I'm using fulmics with stock music player. I get 0-2% drain an hour with viper installed.

Might be your music player app
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] siggey:
Confirmed, change your player
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] :
Just re-enabled the stock player and left it to run for an hour with music and again 20% loss over an hour...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:
No idea then. I get great battery with music player.

Having the exact same issue on my g6, even after factory reset. Did you find a solution?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
The app 'ForceDoze' fixed my battery drain music playing issues, and battery drain in general. No negative effects observed and it's been nearly 2 weeks! I use Amazon Music btw.

Edit: forgot to mention that the fingerprint scanner is less responsive for unlocking the phone from standby (often takes 2 taps or a long tap), but it's an easy tradeoff for me.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mikes:
About 0.5% per hour. I'm on Fulmics 4.2 (I debloated about 100 useless apps and services) + Poweramp + V4A + ARISE Sound Systems with DIRAC installed. I'm listening only to Hi-res FLAC8 (yes, it matters too).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] oxstardust421xo:
Hello,

I just bought 2 days ago the Samsung galaxy tab A 8.0 (2017_ SM-T380 model.

It didn't come with any type of stylus and I read that it being the T series that the S-Pen wont work with it.

Does anyone know of a stylus I can use for it that's in some what of a comparison to the S-Pen?

I know they make these stylus I saw in Best Buy called the Bamboo stylus. I don't know much about them or if they even work with this model of tablet. I had found them in the section with all the iPad accessories.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] jimjam503:
the 3m stylus seem to be pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] CaptainChris2018:
I am using a pretty cheap fenix stylus being stored on a tragus 8 inch cover case I bought at target on I believe I bought black Friday 2019 it was pretty cheap. I am using the cilp on the stylus to keep it on the case. The tablet wont go to sleep if you close It and I had to cut one of the corners of the Gray part to make the Power and Volume buttons accessible. And the gray parts would pop off every once in a while.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mr_yellow:
Hi Guys,

I currently own a HTC Prophet and pretty much use it to the max. I have the latest WM6 ROM flashed and find that it's generally a good device when it works but when it's bogged down and slow, it can be a very annoying device.

I'm considering getting an Atom Life since the cost is low and it has a really fast processor but everywhere I search on the net, I see tonnes of complaints about stability and battery life and what not... It's weird cause spec wise, this device seems really good! Fm tuner, fast processor, tonnes of ROM... the only bad things I can see is that it doesn't support GSM 850 which is used in my area and it doesn't have the best battery life.

1) Is the Atom Life really that bad?

2) Are most of the issues resolved by flashing to WM6?

3) Are there any good extended batteries that fit in the standard case?

Just looking for some reassurance before I buy another WM device that doesn't live up to my expectations...

Thanks.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] alipi2007:
i don't want say its bad, yes battery issue is there. coz of fast prosessor. others r realy nice to me with WM6.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] testdasi:
Nope. Usually those who complain about the Atom Life are

a. have too much expectation -> when some should-have-been-expected problems appear, they complain

b. know nothing about Windows Mobile phones -> someone actually told me "matter-of-factly" that WM6 is not more stable than WM5

c. just have bad luck

Yes. I got mine pre-flashed to WM6 and have not seen any problems.

No. There are extended batteries but they come with a bigger case to fit the larger size. There are many tricks to save battery though. Like I set mine to automatically use the lowest CPU profile at night, even set it to flight mode (cuz I receive no business call at night) and set everything back automatically in the morning.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Mastiff:
The main poblems are related to the battery. Get a battery on eBay, and you'll be fine. I bought a 1600 mAh battery there, and that hasn't got the restrat on incoming call problem I had with the original battery. And another thing: After a few months the Atom Life may start giving you trouble, like locking up and not turning on when a call is coming in. Then you do a full hard reset, and everything will be OK again. I used a backup program to make a full backup when I had set it up the first time, and now I just restore that backup, and I have another couple of months of no problems.

And of course, most of the complainers think a phone should be problem free and without bugs. Yeah, sure. That happens the same day Windows, Mac and Linux are bug free. Of course you can make a bugfree phone, but then you're back a functionality level of an old analogue phone! ;)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mr_yellow:
Thanks for all the advice guys!

I'd have to disagree with you here. I've gone through my own set of issues with the HTC prophet and I have a pretty high tolerance for "buggy gadgets". It's not too much to expect a phone to not crash when you do stuff like take a call. It does sound like the Atom Life does have some fundamental Hardware issues which is very disappointing.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] trjons:
just ordered one on ebay to play around with since I'm down a phone now.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] maevro:
I am happy with this phone, I really am. I wish it had 850 on it, but what can you do? The fact that it has 1900 for 3G makes up for it.

Too be honest, my battery life really isnt all that bad, not any worse then any other WM6 Professional phone I own.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mr December:
I'm not well versed in this realm of rooting, but I've rooted my V20 (H918) and I'd like to update to the latest version possible and not lose root. I think it involves using some kdz file or something and flashing that, is that right? Let me know, thank you.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jreed3786:
Wrong, you have to use this [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] tutorial to go back to root...but so far, even if you are on H91010T, you can roll back and root. ARB has not yet been implemented on this phone, so you're good to use any rooting method you see fit in this forum. Enjoy!

https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mr December:
I think you may be responding to the wrong thread? I wasn't asking how to root, I've already rooted my phone. Also, I said I have a H918, not a H91010T. :p
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jreed3786:
Oops!!!! LOL! That darn 8 looked like a 0! My bad, bro! LOL. Late night!!! :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] shomi1417:
You can use kdz writter to upgrade to kdz with new security updates. You will not lose root.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Sadistic_Loser:
Wait i thought ARB was implemented on the lg v20 already, does that mean if i am on H91810Q, (T-Mobile) i don't have ARB yet?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Haha, it's alright, man. :)

Thank you, I'll research this and see how to go about this.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
do not use anything kdz to flash... you will lose root! you need to flash a TWRP flashable zip to update and keep root
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Thank you! That would've been atrocious. Can you point me to a guide that explains this? I'd hate to make a rookie mistake like I would've made and accidentally update the firmware past 10J.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
I don't know what version of H918 you're on now, but if I'm not mistaken 10k is the last one that you can still mess up and still get root back by downgrading to an earlier version, root and then upgrade. any version after 10k will increment ARB to 1 whereby you will not be able to get root if you lose it. that said, the latest version out now is 10s and if you have root then you should also have TWRP. here's my guide for updating to the latest versions while keep root https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312. looking at this now, I haven't posted the 10s update file, which I will do now... keep in mind that if you update to 10s that if you lose TWRP you'll be fscked and stuck without root, which at this point could be permanently.

EDIT: 10s is a go! original post updated with link. also removing the older versions from Google Drive to free up space... if they're still needed, PM
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Man that is awesome news! Thank you for linking me to your guide. I will do it tonight when I have the time! :) My current version is 10J, btw.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
if you're willing to take on the risk then go ahead... I did and am still rooted. just ask questions if you have any doubts
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] b_superman1:
Will this work for the Verizon model?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Hey, I followed the instructions per your thread and successfully installed 10s and kept root! The bad news is that I did a factory reset immediately after and now it keeps bootlooping into TWRP. Any idea how to fix this? Sadly I didn't make a backup because my microsd card was too small and I didn't have the patience to wait til tomorrow and go out and buy one, really hope I didn't kick myself in the ass and brick my phone. :crying:

Edit:

I was able to find a fix by following these instructions:

"I had this happen to me after installing TWRP for the first time. It would keep rebooting to TWRP. This was after making sure I flashed SuperSU as well. Eventually in a moment of "might as well see what will happen" I rebooted then held down the power button and volume down. Got to the option if I wanted to factory reset my phone which I did which booted into TWRP. Rebooted to system from there which got me out of the TWRP Bootloop."

I also set my phone up again and can confirm that 10s is still good with root! Thanks for the guide and work, man. Much appreciated!

LG G4 stuck and freezing. Bootloop with "Bootloader state : Bootloader unlocked!"

Hi

I unlocked my bootloader via the official LG method, using the unlock.bin over adb. And after i flashed TWRP but i erased system and now i dont now why i have a bootloop and device now gets as far as the LG screen and a little message up the top left saying "Bootloader State: Unlocked!". The LED on the top left is flashing blue.

And adding on this , adb and fastboot don't work , device not found...

What should I do ? Did I break my phone ?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stef_zii:
Basicly there is no the best rom for something. As far as I know, people had a great expirience with imperium rom and gaming. You can test any ROM, and tweak ones with sTweaks or any similar program coming with kernel. Test yourself, and post expirience, or check other posts, I am sure there are ones answering your question.

Already have mine up for sale on ebay
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] erojas388:
I really like the case. It offers much better grip than the rhinoshield, which I found to be way too slippery. It doesn't add much more bulk than the rhinoshield and I believe it offers better protection as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dubt17:
How come? Too bulky?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dubt17:
For sure a case only a mother could love, but I still haven't found the perfect case. I want an all wrap around leather case, but it seems only etsy has some.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dubt17:
Let's go with initial impressions review if you'd like, as I do a bit more than just taking the case out of the box ;)

Also, professional audio engineer here; no. The jumper is literally just a 4 wire passive extender. There is no special 3 pin TRS ("regular") to 4 pin TRRS circuitry or summing of signals to bypass the mic connector or short the mic.

Research before posting fake news.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] simsing:
Been using this almost a month. Really like the way the phone shows off the back. I'm using a Note 8. So with this case, my phone just became much larger... And the "grip" is very grippy, to the point that when I want to slip the phone into my pocket, it is not easy to do that. The grip is actually gripping onto my pants pocket! Same thing coming out of the pocket. Because of this, I will only rate it as 3.8/5 stars. It's awesome as a protective case though, dropped it once on a flat surface, my phone survived. Just that it's a bit too grippy :)

Notes and other orthodontia -

Don't try to flash this in TWRP until data decryption is working. FlashFire definitely doesn't work.

Magisk Manager only.

Magisk v16 or better required.

I had the following problems on my hv10 -

My external DAC/amp wouldn't work reliably.

Music players would hang in the background, regardless of how I protected them.

I have a lot of apps - I couldn't fling to the bottom in the EMUI app drawer and what I could was always interrupted by a lag spike.

I would have to reboot my phone every few days to get it to run faster again.

Swap Torpedo fixed all of that for me.

You don't need swap/zram on a phone with this amount of RAM.

Have it running, but don't notice any difference right now.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] EarlyMon:
It issues a single command at the end of the boot initialization - in the case of a Huawei or honor -

swapoff /dev/block/zram0

Just to clarify that nothing is running - in fact, if your rom was using swap, now it's running fewer processes.

Are you on EMUI or a custom rom? If custom, did you verify if it had swap implemented first using RAM Truth or equivalent?
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
I'm on EMUI

I will be keeping an eye on the RAM and how good multitasking is. for now it is a little bit better than before, but nothing special. but I gonna try and play few games and see how it is
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] EarlyMon:
I wouldn't expect multitasking improvements in terms of running more apps but I would expect better stability multitasking.

I would expect better stability and less lag overall.

Others have consistently reported gaming improvements in performance with this mod over the years.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
gaming is the same without and with that mod. actually I tried asphalt 8 again and it's still so super bad optimized, that even the kirin doesn't run on full speed with this game... also some other, really "light" games are lagging here and there... very strange. and this mod sadly didn't help :(

Either re install 15.4 or even install v16.x I often had this issue with modules too, magisk was running fine but the modules couldn't detect it, a re-install or update fixes that

When did he say that? I have v16.1/2 on my mate 10 pro running fine
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] EarlyMon:
I wasn't thinking, I have a test release of 8.1.

I'd set the minimum Magisk to version 16.

Nothing in the module ought to have any trouble with your version of Magisk.

Why can't I boot to SafeStrap recovery? If I try I just get a dead Android logo until I hard-reset. The only way to access recovery is by running SafeStrap and selecting "Reboot to recovery." That only works if I've got a working OS. If any install goes bad, I have to SBF and rebuild everything from scratch. Is this normal with Droid 4 and SafeStrap 3.75 because of the locked bootloader or is there a fix?

Hi,

Is there a way to lock-stop access to the swipe down function that allows access to the various functions such as: Location, WiFi, network carrier, Bluetooth Airplane mode etc? If the phone is lost or stolen all one has to do is swipe down and turn off location and either WIFI or your network carried and it can’t be located-well from what I know.
