So I suppose it won't do in miui 10

Has anyone tested ?

Hi

I have some problem with my ks01lte. I want to ask someone who use any version of S4. Does HCE paying from Google Pay works on all terminals for you? I have problem that Google Pay doesn't work on Ingenico group terminals which are very popular in my country? NFC works good and on other terminals I can pay without problems. On Ingenico when I held phone near terminal nothing happened.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_dueda:
Hello,

I have 2 HTC M7 with slim rom 7.1.2. build.2.0 and GAPPS pico. One of them is S-OFF with GPE firmware (6.04.1700.19). Clean install via TWRP, no further apps installed, so far. Both phones lose about 1.5%/h battery in stand-by - thus more than twofold compared to stock firmware+rom, before.

Can anyone tell me, what are the reasons for this higher battery consumption? Forums on custom roms mostly give information that battery consumption will be improved with custom rom.

I think of installing a custom kernel to improve battery life. Where can I find a compatible kernel to my custom rom and different firmwares? Or would it be sufficient to install a kernel tweaking tool (eg. kernel toolkit) to adjust settings for the current kernel? In Slim Rom, kernel information is 3.4.113-g9776217(jenkins@bacon) (gcc version 4.9 20150123) prerelease).

Thank you very much.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saturday_night:
There is only one custom kernel for N Roms and this one doesnt have any improvment for battery or kernel tweaks, there is no way to extend the battery life except for dont use gapps. You will get the best battery life with gpe rom and elementalx kernel, but this is android 5.1, but this is the only way to underclock the cpu/gpu with all adroid versions higher like 6.x undervolting allways caused system instability. If you want to have a bettter battery life with android 6.x or higher the only way is to use nanomod microg (or the new name of this magisk module "nanodroid") instead of gapps. It will replace everything what google services do for you with opensource programms, you will be able to use your google account as usuall and being able to use the play store but without the high battery drain gapps are causing. If you want to know more about this you can read everything here https://xdaforums.com/htc-one/help/tips-standby-time-t3661814
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_dueda:
Thank you, I will try it. As I have seen this should still allow for using paid apps from play store if needed.

Though I don't understand why battery consumption with custom rom nougat is that higher than with stock rom lollipop. I also tried clean installing custom rom without any GAPPS, but battery drain in standby and with flight mode was still considerably higher (0.9%/h) than in stock rom incl. Google services and no flight mode (0.5%/h)?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_dueda:
Hm, now I have

- 1 M7 S-off, GPE firmware, Slim rom 7.1.2 build 2.0 + microG

- 1 M7 S-on, HTC firmware, Slim rom 7.1.2 build 2.0 + Gapps pico,

- 1 M7 S-on, HTC firmware, HTC stock rom.

So far, no further apps running, GPS, NFC and bluetooth deactivated. Hourly battery drain in stand-by is almost identical on phones with slim rom (1.5% per hour) - and more than twofold compared to stock rom (0.6% per hour). Since I have tried several custom roms before, I noticed that other Android M+N roms (lineage, AICP, xenon, tesla) all have battery drain comparable to slim rom.

Seems to me that there is no way to get low standby battery consumption with a custom rom Android M/N. Within a 16 hour day I loose about 15 percent battery more than with stock rom Android L only due to standby. Am I the only one with this issue (or the only one interested in this)?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saturday_night:
If you have identical battery drain on both devices with slim rom (one with gapps one with microG) there is definitivly something wrong on your side. Every user i have ever read from using microG said the same about better battery (about 10% more at the end of a day compared to same rom with gapps). And for me it was the same, with aicp and gapps i had only 15% at the end of a day, with aicp and microG i had about 25% left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Erumeru:
I installed the official OTA today... And come to find out an app I use crashes once I launch. Only this app, no matter what I do. It has been confirmed incompatible with the S9 as well.

The s8+ runs it though. So what can I do, to downgrade? (Fool proof way.) Also will it compromised the fact that I got it sim unlocked from At&t already?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] neopolotin75:
You can just wait until the developer of the app updates it to be compatible with 8.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Erumeru:
Normally, I'd wait but this is developed by a Japanese team.they use international versions of the phone and currently only s9/note8 have this issue. I'm not sure why the S8+ on Oreo isn't impacted but what can I do besides roll back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] neopolotin75:
Honestly I don't know why the S8+ Oreo runs it and the Note 8 and S9 don't other than they haven't had their app certified for the S9 and Note. I'm not sure you can roll back once updated. If the bootloader version changed then you Def can't go back.

Hi all,

I've noticed the Alfawise Tab tablet on Gearbest Mod Edit: Selling site link removed.

As reviewed by some, this tablet seems great at a very low cost. It has the screen, the sounds, the battery, the form factor etc...

Mod Edit: Video link removed for promoting selling site.

Sadly, searching for at least a "support" or "download firmware" doesn't return any results.

It only has Android 6 with security patches from March 2016.

I'm a bit concerned about security, but not that much, since I only use my current tablet for reading and browsing (so... a pdf reader and Chrome is enough).

I've seen in some other review that an anti-malware check returned

nothing

(minute 5m 24s, in the view below). So, this tablet may be clean, just the software outdated.

Mod Edit: Video link removed for promoting commercial selling.

So, I'm just interested in BUGS right now, if any. The iFive tablet seems to also have an outdated Android 6 version and it has some pretty annoying issues mentioned HERE, on XDA forums

If you have this tablet, please tell me: what bugs did you find? Force crashes of apps, deadlocks, SoD, etc... ?

Kind regards
[Device Reviews and Information] w1nst0n sm1th:
I have the tablet since last week now...

i have to say I have several Android tablet Teclast x98Air, x98Air2, Cube i7, iFive 4S... I have rooted all my tablet, some by mounting a factory system partition on my computer and manually adding su binaries. I switched also to iPad mini 4 for 1 year and half or so... In short, I know what kind of issue you can meet and what is a good tablet according to chinese standard and can compare with other kind of devices...

The Alfawise Tab is an amazing piece of hardware AND software for the bucks :

Hardware :

- Good Audio

- Slim. Not as much as an iPad mini but slimmer then iFive 4s (which is a ****ing piece of crap).

- Great screen : it's 1536 x 2048. Clear, bright... You get it.

- USB-C charge.

- Storage seems fast enough.

- Decent battery life.

- It's metal. Not ****ty plastic like iFive.

- Good build according to chinese standard. Not as good as Xiaomi but still pretty good. Better than Teclast.

Software :

- No bloatware, crapware, ****ware of any kind... It's stock Android. Period.

- Fully loaded with google suite : Appstore and the whole google ecosystem (map, book, film, chatting stuffs, music, assistant, youtube).

- NO SoD, NO crash, no infamous shutdown... Nothing. The thing is as stable and smooth as swiss clock.

- It's fast. NO lags. (But i idn't test any game. And I'm more like puzzle game than car or fight).

Only downside : I couldn't find any factory rom on the web, neither boot image. There is no "su" binary in the system partition (???), the rom is a production one and adb root is disabled so there is no way to make a dump of boot and system partition as a backup or material to root or custom rom (as far as I know). Couldn't find a way to contact Alfawise. There is no contact form or any information on that matter on their website to ask them to release the factory rom for public consumption.
[Device Reviews and Information] veverone:
Great reply, @w1nst0n sm1th, and I totally agree with you about the downsides!

First of all, thank you very much for replying with such useful information. I too noticed the PROs of this and I'm glad you confirmed them.

As for the downsides, yes!, those quoted concern me the most. No support, no contact, no "download firmware" section.

However, this is not really that bad, given that other popular brands in China will make you almost flash a new ROM when they release an update (no OTA or not working).

For example, the iFive is backed by a s***ty website with updates and support. Each update is tagged with a hardware version. In their case, you have to update the right tablet with the corresponding ROM, otherwise you are probably screwed. (please correct me if I'm wrong regarding the updating process in the case of iFive)

I prefer a stable OS with no updates and no support page :good: rather than an unstable OS :eek:, with updates that patch the issues reported on an official support page.

Thank you again for your opinion.

I hope others will join this thread with hands-on experiences.

It's definitelly a good upgrade. Quality is clearly above iFive 4s, as well for hardware than software.

---------- Post added at 01:10 ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 ----------

I don't really measure it. But since i had the occasion to compare with iFive 4s I bought 2 months earlier, it seemed to me the battery life lasted longer, as long as you don't leave the tablet in a state of heavy duty without putting it in deep sleep (screen switched off), like screen on with a game started on the foreground or background.

Once on heavy duty, the battery will soon decrease rapidly, but that's the case with every tablet.

firmware

The tablet is a rebranded JDtab 01. In order to find firmware for this one google "needrom jdtab" (i can't post a link), but it needs a premium account, i also found it and downloaded from another site, google "panuso.com52949643", i uploaded it to my google drive (i can email the link to anyone that need it). I think it's possible to use the scatter file from the JDtab's rom to take a backup for the rom and create CWM recovery, in order to root, or even flash the entire rom to the tablet (there is a post at androidiani.com, you can google "androidiani. alfawise tab root" in order to find it. Also you can google "rom development for Mediatek MT8173 & MT8176 " , maybe you find something useful.

Bugs?

Has anyone managed to root the device , take a backup or flash Jdtab's rom? I have a problem with many apps that want to draw over other and I can't give them the permission to do it. Also there isn't a reboot selection (strange for Android 6). Another major problem is that there isn't Wi-Fi hot-spot setting and there isn't any way to activate it, (unable to use shareit or midrop). Lastly, when you power off the device and boot it again, it takes a very long time to boot.

ROOT for JDTAB

Here is a tutorial that i found, explaining hot to root JDTAB: Google "baidu5615963852"

Maybe appliable to our tablet by only flashing boot.img (if the boot.img is compatible with ours).

I also found that MTK8173 can be generally rooted with magidisk, but we can only use JDTAB'S boot.img.

So if someone is risky enough, can give it a try.

Hi All... Not sure if someone is experiencing the same: I'm having a big issue with wifi that is continuously disconnecting and it's having extremely poor performances (where other devices are connecting perfectly), especially for downloading, rather than uploading.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tashcz:
Hi guys and girls,

I've got my A5 a few days back, and at start it worked great. I've messed up with a lot of software, tried everything out, and instead of uninstalling everything I thought it'd be best to do a factory reset. That's where my problems started.

While I set up the phone and installed all the apps (updated) that came with the phone, connected to a 100Mbps optical internet via AC wifi, I lost about 15% of battery. Okay, who knows what the phone needed to do, lets move on.

Next day I was just using Whatsapp, messaging with my gf, and the phone was a bit warm with 20-25% brightness (auto-off). The battery temperature was 32-33C, and I used an infrared thermometer and measured 33.5C on the back of the phone at the Samsung logo. Then I just browsed the settings, setting up my phone a bit more, and it was still getting warm, getting anywhere between 31 to 33C on the battery and around 33C with an IR thermometer. I still can't say much about battery drainage but the phone is getting pretty warm even while browsing the web or doing non-intensive tasks.

Does the A5 2017 get warm or is it just me? Should I RMA it?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Bryan48765:
Have a520f, 33C is near average. But it's also dependent on the weather. Fast charging or charging with the screen off will raise it. If it wasn't always like that, maybe something in the background is using the CPU, checking for updates or notifications. The CPU/GPU is like a car engine, running at various 'speeds' and 'weights it is carrying', and it does get warm. Only if it gets hot, then it's a problem. Many apps could do those checks once the screen is turned on. Uninstalling/changing settings will only help with battery life (percent drain), the temperature is ok. The a520f (and a510f) also has touchboost, temporarily raising the CPU clock when the screen is touched. Might be noticeable with background tasks while using a keyboard.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tashcz:
Thanks friend. Didn't know about "Touchboost", you opened it up for me a bit there.

While the screen is off, It's perfectly fine. Once I take it in my hands, it starts to get warm around the Samsung logo. It's probably screen + apps + nowhere to dissipate heat, but I wasn't noticing it at start. I've only had it for a couple of days now. I don't know about the battery drainage, with a charge lasting me ~40hrs with 7h SOT I wouldn't say it's draining at all - though my screen is at low brightness, 1/4 max.

Just wanted to see what you other guys are getting as I thought it was high. My ambient is around 24-25C all year long. I've seen tests where people weren't getting more than 30C at all, but as you said, it's the ambient that dictates that.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nubry:
Idk if this is only with mine but sometimes I turn the phone off completely and put it to charge and it happens that it can reach like 35°C without touching it. Now the phone is plugged, I only browse with chrome facebook.. and it is like 37°c. That can happen when it is not plugged too. Using wifi seems to be better though.

I dont think I have an important battery drain because it can last about 6-8h SOT normal usage.

Onr other thing, when I turn on the mobile hotspot, the battery drains way more than usually and heats up too.
