[General Questions and Answers] scottayy:
I've came to the conclusion that my charging port is bad, or disconnected from the board inside. I've my reasons to believe so due to exhaustive testing and fix attempts trying every other means.

I'm a techy and I'm definitely in my element by repairing a phone.

I'd like some info or guides to follow along about cracking this phone open and checking the soldering connection from the port to the board, or, if necessary, to replace it. I'd hate to go into it blind.

I'd like to get the phone on and get the model number but no luck.

It's a blu energy xl and here's a picture:
[General Questions and Answers] scottayy:
After extensive googling, I can't even find out if it's possible to crack open this phone without breaking it. Is it possible?

It's not the pure xl, or studio, or anything else. As far as I'm aware it's just blu energy xl.

Hello,

Recent update says it aims battery use improvement. But I have no any. This is the same, I end up the day with 74-75% left after full charge in the morning. Everything stock, no installed apps, AOD off.
[Samsung Gear S3] fireattack7:
I'm the same way after the update. I see no improvement and I even reset the watch after the update. I have no apps installed and don't use SPay on the watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] MehStrongBadMeh:
I generally end the day with about 52%-57% (AOD on). No change between 3.0.0.1 and 3.0.0.2
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
I had no improvement either. I was charging every night so today I backed up and reset it. I did that after the Tizen 3 update but it didn't seem to help. Today was like I flipped a switch or something. That was 12 hours ago when the battery was at 70% and now 12 hours later it's at 56%.i have location and Bluetooth on, wifi set to Auto and NFC off. I'm also using Watchmaker for my faces.
[Samsung Gear S3] nighthawk29:
No improvement for me... I am actually seeing worse battery drain since the update. I then decided to do a reset and set it back up manually (not from a backup) to the exact same settings as before and I am losing about 5-10% more in the same 24 hour period compared to before the update. I don't know wtf Samsung is doing but this is ridiculous!
[Samsung Gear S3] storm81456:
It seemed like when it first updated I was doing great. Then I reset the watch and it's the same now, if not worse than before the update.
[Samsung Gear S3] florences26:
no different, and it worse for me. some time my watch wont charge (it too hot)
[Samsung Gear S3] Iradj:
I don't know what happened with my watch ima little bit surprised but im getting about 7 days with one full charge, I even resetted the watch after the new software update. I have NFC, GPS, AoD and Wlan off and most of S-Health features I turned off also. Before the Update i was getting like 4-5 days.

[Samsung Gear S3] mrja22:
I am finding it worse . If I have the phone with me then it is about the same, no different.

However if I leave the phone, say on my office table, and walk around the range on the bluetooth seems to have reduced. This results in the watch jumping on to the wifi and draining more battery.

Even when I am in bed with the phone on the bed side table I have noticed the watch disconnect from bluetooth if I put myself between the watch and phone. This never happened before the update.

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

For me most of my drain comes from S Health and notifications.

Weekends I get significantly more battery life as I get less notifications.

BUT, this is why I bought the watch. To get the features of S Health, to be able see notifications easily, to be able to connect remotely over wifi when I don't have my phone, to be able to use SPay etc.

It sucks that the only way to get decent battery life is to cripple the watch.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GuestK00143:
I know this reply is a bit late but you can disable the update. First you have to factory reset to remove the cache of the downloaded update, just clearing cache in recovery will not work. After you have reset and gone through the setup without setting up WiFi immediately turn off mobile data. Now for the tricky part. You will need to install a package disabler and disable com.wssyncmldm (Software Update) and com.samsung.sdm (System Updates). I use SABS and turn on data only to activate it and then turn off data until I get the updater disabled. The trick is to get the package disabler installed before the update starts downloading. Keeping data and WiFi off will stop this. I believe just removing your sim card when you reset will stop the updater also but I haven't tried that yet. It worked like this on all my previous phones and might make the process easier.

View attachment 4479714

Edit: When doing this on Oreo it will remove Software Update from the settings menu and Nougat it will only disable the service.

can phone owner please tell me why should i buy this phone instead of that phone, i want to buy new phone with great battery life, and those two were within my budget. thanks a lot guys
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] horsemenofbug:
Been using the Galaxy Note 8 since it came out,really like the phone with one nagging issue. When the battery reaches 15 percent it either drops to a flat 0 or a mere 5 or borders between 10% and 0%.

I have tried a factory reset and cache wipe and the issue seems to persist.

Is this common or an isolated problem??

Do I need to get my phone checked at the service Center?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I have seen this battery behaviour in many devices, when the batt gets very low, the charge reading is not very reliable, I would worry if the sudden drop happens at, normal levels, for example, 50% then suddenly droping to 30-35%, anyway it is not good to let the batt go below 20% it would be more interesting to know the overall behaviour of the batt along the entire cycle, that is, how long it lasts untill you reach the erratic level you talk about

I find that in the morning after a complete 100% charge overnight, my Touch Screen does not work and is very sporadic. I can get it to work and then all of a sudden, it will stop working. I will do a Soft Reset/Power Off and then it will work for a while. I have even did a Hard Reset and Restored my previous backup (SPB Backup) and that won't resolve the issue completely.

Trying to follow the guide in https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/how-to-unbrick-kindle-fire-hdx-firmware-t3277197 I couldn't archive anything, because I could retrieve the original files from ONYXis.

The kindle is stuck in bootloop, see picture attached.

It boots up with grey logo and then goes to stock bootloader, saying it couldn't boot up (most of you will recognize the problem)

What I have done so far:

bought a fastboot cable

installed linux mint

installed mi flash tool

pressed the on/off button several times for 5 minutes

What I have archived so far:

nothing

emergency mode Qdloader 9008 seems to work, but I showed only one time in windows device manager. after the installation of miflash it's only visible as unkown device. it doesn't show up in linux at all.

It's quite frustrating because I'm usually not new to fooling around with android devices, I unlocked several hdx devices of the years for friends and family but failed to even start with this one.

I would really appreciate any help.

You only need to press and hold the Power button and Volume down buttons together(you don't need to press the Bixby button at this point) till the screen goes blank, then let go. When the next screen come up, then use the Bixby button to select Restart normally(which should be already selexted).

Hi,

On <2.1.3.7, I got the keyboard backlight to work by creating an /etc/mce/20backlight.ini with:

[KeyPad]

BrightnessDirectory=/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight

Then doing 'pkcon install mce' and 'systemctl restart mce'.

Hope you get the OK to share your AD success!

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
dude you are a legend!

I would add that to the OP but you are first comment so anyone viewing the op will see this. I will definitely tell TheKit about this (then again, he gave you the 2.1.3.7 build so you can just tell them yourself)
[Motorola Droid 4] NIKKOS:
Greetings,

I've been playing around with SailfishOS on my Droid 4 in the past few days, and I have a few questions about the whole thing. TheKit publicly shared a 2.1.3.7 build for the Droid 4 on his thread at Maemo, is that the one you are talking about or is it a different build? As someone mentioned this specific build seems to have issues with wifi, and I have the same problem. I can't post links, but the download link to the build I mentioned is on page 12.

The 2.1.0.11 build seems to work fairly well, however I wasn't able to install Alien Dalvik. After the installation the "Android Support" button does show up in the settings app, however nothing happens when I click the start button. I also attempted installing an apk both via the GUI (by clicking on it in the downloads) and via the command line by using "apkd-install", but it doesn't seem to work. Full log of the installation process attached.
[Motorola Droid 4] NIKKOS:
I talked with TheKit, and the 2.1.3.7 build I mentioned (the one at page 12) is indeed outdated. He just updated the OP at Maemo and added the latest 2.1.3.7 build, which I just flashed and it's working great. Also installed Alien Dalvik following the instructions in the OP and it seems to be working fine as well! However I wasn't successful with the backlight fix method yet.

For anyone wondering how I flashed the latest build I went CM11 --> SailfishOS 2.1.0.11 --> SailfishOS 2.1.3.7 (rel2).
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi Nikkos,

Sorry - that was me that posted the backlight fix, and I agree that it doesn't work on 2.1.3.7-rel2. It'd worked on every other version I tried, and I've now edited my post above. Glad everything is working.

Sorry again
[Motorola Droid 4] NIKKOS:
No worries.

If anyone is wondering how to change the SailfishOS UI scale (I find the default one to be way too big) here's how I did it via the terminal:

devel-su
rm /etc/dconf/db/vendor.d/locks/silica-configs.txt
dconf write /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio value

I believe the default value should be around 1.1; you can also reset the value to stock with:

dconf reset /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio

or read the value with:

dconf read /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio

Not exactly droid 4 related, but thought I'd share.
[Motorola Droid 4] NIKKOS:
Okay, I got the backlight to turn on!

Type the following in the terminal:

devel-su
echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

It seems to properly react to some triggers like standby after being turned on but not to others like sliding the keyboard in and out (which means it will always stay on if the screen is on, regardless if it's been slided in or out). My assumption is that the keyboard sliding trigger got broken in some way, as I believe that's the way the backlight is being turned on. The events which trigger the backlight seem to be stored in the file /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/trigger, so I assume that would be a good starting point to attempt fixing this.

The keyboard backlight intensity can also be changed, just change the 255 to a different value (it goes from 0 to 255).

Note: this change is not permanent, it will need to be applied again at reboot. Writing a script which executes the above commands at boot should be trivial though, and I will include instructions when I get it done myself.

EDIT:

Here's how to make the change permanent. Following these instructions you will create a Systemd service which will turn the backlight on when active and off when inactive; it will automatically run at boot and it can also be controlled like any other Systemd service (i.e. using systemctl via the terminal)

Type the following commands through the terminal:

devel-su
cd /etc/systemd/system
touch keyboard-backlight.service
chmod 744 keyboard-backlight.service

You will now need to edit the keyboard-backlight.service file with a text editor (either vim or nano will do, vim comes preinstalled, nano does not). Depending on your preferred text editor, type the following:

vim keyboard-backlight.service

or

nano keyboard-backlight.service

Now write the following to the file and save it:

[Unit]
Description=XT894 keyboard backlight service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Now type the following to enable the service:

systemctl enable keyboard-backlight.service

That's it. You can now control the service by using the following:

systemctl start keyboard-backlight //This will turn the backlight on
systemctl stop keyboard-backlight //This will turn the backlight off
systemctl status keyboard-backlight //This will display the service status

[Motorola Droid 4] NeKit1000:
I've been trying to resurrect the builds recently. There is SailfishOS 4.5.24, but it's more of a demo for now, and the device is quite old to run well due to RAM limitations. However, feel free to try (installation method is the same as before, in a SafeStrap slot on top of CM11). Disabling sailjail (application sandboxing) may improve performance/RAM consumption a bit.
[Motorola Droid 4] Woolium:
i'll try it out! thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] Woolium:
How long does it take to boot?
[Motorola Droid 4] NeKit1000:
About one minute, but now I realized the current build had old droid-hal-device package and won't boot unfortunately. You can replace `/data/.stowaways/sailfishos/lib/udev/999-android-system.rules` with the file I attached if you know how, or I will trigger a newer build later.
