[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] albel:
The theory behind this apparently is that how battery likes to be in certain battery levels based on the voltage.

Based on what I understand, the phone/battery likes it better if battery is not less than 20 and not more than 80.

This means that if you charge between 20 - 80, you can have a lot more charge cycles as compared to 0 - 100. This could also mean that the battery can last longer in terms of longevity.

But as mentioned, not many people does that unless they are looking to keep their phone for more than 3 years.

These are based on my limited understanding and my own experiences.

You can google battery university if you need more info.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Most of the information here is correct I have an am always doing battery tests research and such

80% and 20% are the magic number for maximum overall life of a battery...

Also no on mentions heat and cold also degrades the cells inside

I also recomend if you make it through the day shutting off fast charge......

If you think about it it is simmilar to any other battery,

Take a car for example I know i know lead battery vs lith ion but slow charging is the best method for any types of battery life in the long run.... it does not excite any of the ions as much as fast charging......

Fast charging on auto batteries is what we call a surface charge it quickly excites the electrons for a quick zap of juice but then over all that spreads out among all of the rest of the electrons quickly draining and shortning over life....

Slow charge generates less heat as well as does what we call a deep charge....Which is better of coarse I have had automotive batteries say like in my eclipse its 9 years old and it was a 800 amp battery and even after 9 years now

It retains over 650 amps on battery tests because i slow charge it once a month for a couple days be it need it or not..

Also if you guys are over worried and snap dragon try part cyborg rom the engineering kernel used by samdung only allow for a 80% charge.....I get more screen on time than stock on less charge because it is optimized so well....any where from 6 to 8.5+ hours and that is more than enough more my needs....

Also wireless chargers generate heat which degrade life on batts cells.....

I can get way more into detail on any of these if any one wishes
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] c-pimp:
Have just started reading about s8 stuff and have not rooted yet. Does the kernel allow you to set maximum charge? I remember back on sgs1 specific kernels allowed this but haven't seen it much since then
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
no samsung preset it at 80% and since the bootloaders locked no way to modify it

Ok I'm losing my mind. I don't like auto rotate, I rarely want my screen in landscape. I keep turning it off but it keeps turning itself back on? Anybody else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] wegiwegi:
I'm having the same situation, I am using nougat, literally I did install it 2 weeks ago, I was on MM all this time, I said to myself, before getting into Oreo, better try Nougat for a while.

I have got an S7 and this auto rotate come on all the time, even If I clicked.not to, but after a while it come on again, it's making me nuts too.

I hope someone has a solution
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] zen8t8:
Had the same thing going on on my S9+. This morning it was so bad that I would turn off auto-rotate, and every time I unlocked the phone, it was back on again. Turned off the checkbox for RotationControl (Allow reverse portrait mode) in SamTweaks, and that appears to have fixed the issue...

If you're using SamTweaks, or anything that messes with allowing full rotation, that might be your issue?

Hey Folks,

I've read a lot of specs on the LGV30 and they say it comes with a compass...where is it :) cause I cant find it, LOL :o:o
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SHosp:
The compass is hardware based. You can access it using a tool like GPS Test.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] n2bowling:
What the heck is that?? So are the misleading us then by not having a compass?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
It does have a compass. But you need a "compass" app to use it. Or GPS app or some similar software that needs it.

Like the FM radio. You need an app with GUI to access the radio.

Go to the Google Play store and choose any compass app you wish and it will work. They're many. Search "compass". Or

click this link.

Has the new version of Game Launcher removed this option in Settings? It would basically auto hide any games from the App List automatically when a new game was downloaded. I found it very convenient and now being on OREO this option appears to have been removed. Yes, you have the option to manually hide any App you choose but the game launcher setting was automatic. Did the option move possibly?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dalebaxter01:
Hey XDA I have been having an issue opening my camera in the morning as it continues to shut down with the message in the attached image. I was trying to get the Google camera port to work last night by installing 2 versions of the port (one at a time) and then read that I needed to change (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled to 1) to see that it was already set as such I rebooted and nothing worked. I didn't think to check the regular camera before getting to bed.

Other camera apps fail to start and I have started a backup this morning in case I do need to wipe my phone and install the latest build for RR by Nfound .

Details on ROM are in my signature.

Thank you
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcdw:
In general it's best to flash cameras as part of the ROM. May be some problems when done after the fact.

Otherwise, not too sure as cameras are really low on my usage list (as in rarely).

Maybe use an app like MatLog to record a log and have a look see through it.

I'm looking for an app that can download videos from the Peeks Social app without using URLs that can maybe run in the background and download the videos straight from the app I'm using. I tried a couple screen recording apps but all they record is the audio with a black screen and the video I need isnt live its been on the app fo a while so I figured there might be a way to download it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js2shanks:
I recently upgraded from a Note 8 to a Pixel 2 XL unlocked verizon model.

Unfortunately I cannot root the phone so I can't use xposed for the ad blocking capabilities.

I was told that there was a virtural exposed that does similar things yet I used it and I cannot use it on youtube to block ads.

Without rooting is there any way I can block youtube ads and app ads similar to exposed?

I am using firefox with ublock so that helps but I would very much enjoy blocking youtube and other ads?

Also is there something similar to Air android for Pixel 2? I cannot use Air android for pixel 2 it keeps force closing. Not sure if its because of the phone or Android P?

Phone other wise is extremely great and I am using it on Android P

Would love suggestions for good cases and tempered glass

Thanks!

A small search using uncle google reveal the answer
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
I'm curious, is your phone an unlocked model or a verizon model?

Where did you purchase your phone; Google Store? Did you purchase specifically the Verizon model from the Google Store?

Just checking, because if you did purchase an unlocked model and simply have a Verizon SIM in it, you

are

and

would be able to

root your phone...

Then, if you would be able to unlock the bootloader, many of your concerns could be addressed better having root access...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:
I'm assuming he means carrier unlocked not bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
aaahhh...thank you for the clarification...

wait.....unless it's a verizon model, wouldn't they all be "carrier unlocked"? And, if so, it's only bootloader unlocked if it's a Verizon model, right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Supposedly even the Verizon model is carrier unlocked. It however also has a locked bootloader. A device purchased direct from Google won't have a locked bootloader.

Funny story. I went into a Verizon store to get a case for my P2XL because Amazon couldn't tell the difference between a P2 and P2XL: they sent the wrong product. The Verizon rep asked me why I didn't buy my P2XL from them. Reply? "You lock your bootloaders." Without missing a beat the rep tried to say that they supposedly stopped doing that, to which I countered that I know more than a few people who would disagree with you. The "deer in the headlights" look and the mumbling about having to look into that [locked bootloader] was priceless.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Good story! Most Verizon emp's don't know what a bootloader is! ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ammo90:
Youtube Vanced. Get the unrooted version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
So, trying to understand this all correctly, you could purchase a "Verizon model", and bring over to another US carrier (let's say AT&T) and it would work? Or even an EU carrier (although I've heard that there is a carrier lock for the first number of months [I think 9 months] before you can activate your US Pixel 2 in another country)?

And so, the

only

thing different between Verizon model and any other is only the bootloader? As you can supposedly activate the VZ model in other networks (not exclusively the use of Google's model) and/or it's not like you can't use/activate Google's model on Verizon's network?

...Outside of Verizon's exclusive deal with Google, I wonder why Google didn't just advertise is as Locked-Bootloader version and Unlocked-Bootloader version -- other than Verizon pulling the bait-and-switch locking the bootloader of a phone that's initially and naturally unlocked and/or didn't want it advertised that way due to negative connotation...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Verizon may also have it carrier locked. I don't have one and I'm not about to find out either since I steer far clear of Verizon. However, the only difference I can recall between the Google and Verizon P2XL is the bootloader. So if Verizon doesn't also SIM lock the P2XL, then you could buy a Verizon P2XL and use it on AT&T, T-Mobile, or any of their MVNOs like Straight Talk or Cricket just by swapping SIM cards.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the fact Verizon locks the bootloader at all means you're better off with buying direct from Google, even though the deals are not nearly as significant as with Verizon/Best Buy.

You can get Verizon Motorola devices direct from Motorola. Unlike Motorola, Google doesn't offer the Verizon models in their store. Therefore Google doesn't have to advertise something that only appeals to a select group of owners. As for Verizon, there is no bait and switch here. Bait and switch involves substituting a product for a product the merchant has no intention of selling. Verizon isn't doing that, as all their devices are bootloader locked.

I have 2 HDX 7". One of them shows a black screen and won't boot. When plugged into my computer (Windows 10 64-bit) it comes up under my Device Manager as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

I have read and read and read until I think my brain will explode! :eek: Does ANYONE have any suggestions on what I could do to restore this HDX please, I am getting desperate here. :P

Again I have read and just haven't found more than people saying keep it the way it is. Problem is I want to sell it and found someone to sell it but they want FireOS on it not Android.

Please ANYONE, I am really needing some help here. Don't mean to sound desperate but I am getting that way. :D Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
- Unresponsive device may be recoverable but it will take a lot of trial/failure going through the various approaches/solutions mentioned in other unbrick threads. There is no universal 'fix' for these fussy devices when they go belly up. Your only hope is coaxing it into "bulk mode" which is tough w/o a USB connection. I'd set it aside (or sell it) for spare parts should something happen to your primary.

- Restoring FireOS v4 along with essential companion environments (recovery, bootloader) is a rough ride that should not be attempted by the inexperienced. Good chance you'll brick the little fella or end up with a FrankenKindle that does noting well. Convince the buyer AEX (or any of the Nougat based ROMs) is a much better option. Not being a nerd here; I generally prefer/run the stock ROM on all my handheld gizmo's. Amazon devices are the notable exception with 3rd gen HDX being especially hard to restore once unlocked/rooted.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] alias4ever:
I get that recovering a bricked HDX is not going to be easy. I have read so much I am on overload. I am a mother of 5 kids (one of them is 3 years old) and I have spent every little extra minute (which has been hard I'll admit) reading as much as I possibly can for the last several weeks. I am not totally stupid when it comes to doing things with a computer and I don't mind trying things over and over again. I am trying to get it fixed for my kids to have something to play with. :)

I am just hoping SOMEONE can just help me out in what specifically to try or suggestions or where to start. Someone that has had the same problems I've got. [emoji39] I would be so very eternally grateful. Again I know it isn't easy I already knew that and don't need to be told that again and again.

The brickled kindle just stopped working alone? noone try to do something weird or install some strange app?

If the answer its yes,probably its a hardware issue, there nothing to do with physical hardware to make a diagnostic.

For the other case, you can install a FireOS modded version to run with TWRP

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/twrp-flashable-stock-images-t3194914

unfortunately the only image available is 4.5.5 ,almost the same as 4.5.5.3 but in my experience , had some minor bugs

For the bricked kindle, its almost impossible to recover without ADB access a.k.a USB Conectivity for run some programs to get access to the file system and procede to repair it (not apply in all cases), sadly Amazon Fire's isnt user friendly for homemade repairs, best choice is replace the motherboard or get another one.

I dont know if amazon keep provide support for our old fire hdx's, in the case she wanna repair( paying for it), ,probably not.

After you unlock the bootloader, open the ADB fastboot folder and run the following command via CMD:
