[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NekoMichi:
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 that has some battery oddities, I suspect it's a hardware issue but would like a second (or maybe third, fourth, and fifth) opinion about it. The model number is:

SM-A5000

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2015), China/Hong Kong region variant

It used to be my dad's, and he's used it for a couple of years so the lithium cell may have aged. Initially he charged it to >80%, then powered it off and took it on a 12-hour flight. By the time he landed and tried to power it on, the battery was dead. Initially it was running stock 4.4.4 KitKat (Chinese ROM), I first tried to charge it through a PC USB port, and it charged very slowly as expected. The battery level would reach about 30-something and fluctuate. The charging port seems fine, no loose connections or anything.

I next used Samsung Smart Switch to update it to stock 6.0.1 (still mainland Chinese ROM), then connected it to a 2A wall adaptor. The battery would charge up to 82%, then fail to go any further. I noticed that the battery level would often decrease while on the charger, both when idle and locked, or even when powered off and charging.

After flashing TWRP, I did a factory reset and wiped the cache but it didn't seem to do anything for the battery. At one point, the percentage jumped from 82% to 100%, but after a few minutes idle at the home screen, it immediately dropped back from 100% to 80-something%.

At the same time, I was trying to figure out how to install the Google Play Services framework since it's not included in the mainland Chinese ROMs (Open Gapps wouldn't work) and eventually I decided to flash the stock Hong Kong version of 5.0.2, which had all the Google apps. This seemed to somewhat alleviate the battery drops a little, but it still won't charge past 82%. At this point, I replaced TWRP with Carliv Touch Recovery (since it seems to work better) and used it to clear the battery stats. This made CTR detect the battery as 100%, but the OS still won't go past 82%.

I then rooted it and killed off any bloatware and prevented a bunch of stuff from backgrounding or wakelocking, but the battery still seems to drop 1% every 2 minutes or so while idle (and connected to a 2A charger). The battery may also occasionally drop even when powered off and connected to the same charger.

So, does this sound like a dying battery, or could it be a problem with the ROM? I've flashed custom ROMs to it before but that didn't seem to do anything for the battery. The next step would be to fully drain and recharge a few times, but since it's an old device I'm not expecting any miracles. The battery is also non-removable so it won't be easy to replace. My dad's got a new phone already and has pretty much given me this one to experiment with, I don't plan on using it as a daily driver so it's not much of an issue if it's an unrecoverable hardware failure. Just wanted your opinions.

Thanks :)

tl;dr version:

- Galaxy A5 (2015) SM-A5000

- rooted 5.0.2

- Battery won't go past 82%

- Percentage drops while on charge, even when powered off

Hello guys,

I want to download torrent files using BitTorrent app in my sd card. But when I try to change location then it gives me error like "This Android version restricts file saving beyond the folder "

So guys can you tell me how to fix it?? My device is rooted via magisk.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] DyWN:
Apps can have permission to internal storage but I believe sd permissions changed again in oreo and apps can't really access it but you can still link sd folder to bittorrent folder with app2sd

In folder mount set source to bittorrent folder and destination to sd folder

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Matce:
Hey guys,

little issue here, hopefully somebody can advice.

Phone is S9 F-Version (XSG CSC) rooted with SuperSU.

I download the latest firmware update via sammobile and have AP/BL/CP/HOME_CSC files. I download for XEF but from what I understand XSG/XEF/and certain others are OXM (multi CSC)-files, so the CSC doesn't matter, right?

I flash them with ODIN but my user-data is always gone. Not a big deal since I backup everything before, so a quick restore user-data partition and I'm all good, but its annoying.

Also everything that is NOT stored on this partition is gone as well and since I can't restore the system partition without going back "pre-update" this is more of an issue.

Is there any way to flash the new firmware without having those issues and without having to restore stuff after?

thanks

Sorry to make another Whitestone dome thread but I remember reading on XDA months ago about people trying other glass screen protectors with the adhesive/UV light and jig from a Whitestone dome kit.

Essentially I broke my Whitestone dome and I don't really feel like paying them another 35USD just for the glass. Does anybody have any experience trying this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iHypnos:
Hi!

I'm glad you responded. I'm currently debating this exact issue with your customer service team.

They are saying my warranty is only through the distributer (MobileZapp) and it is impossible to register the product on whitestone's website. Meanwhile, other distributers (Mobilefun UK) can be registered on the website and receive a warranty replacement.

Would you like to see my conversation with your customer service representative?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dr.memo1o:
I'm buying from Amazon USA but I'm currently living outside the USA.So I will use third-party parcel.

is it covered under ur limited warranty if god forbids it broke?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iHypnos:
I think you're going to have a tough time of it. You can see my interaction with whitestone's customer service attached;

Now customer service and the XDA whitestone rep are eerily silent.

For me it is the second time that after a small fall breaks in a corner, I'm looking for a valid alternative, but I do not know which one.

I can not ask for the replacement every time I fall.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iHypnos:
Unfortunately after my last email exchange with Whitestone they have decided to ignore me. Great customer service guys. Pretend you don't have a lifetime warranty and then ignore me when I prove it to you.

I'll give the aliexpress one a go.

Hello,

i would like to share some stuff from the Mate 10 Pro Porsche with you. The zip folder contains the notification and ringtones, the wallpapers, boot sound and the bootanimation. To change the boot stuff you need to be root and you have to use a root explorer. You can usually find the bootanimation in this path:

/product/etc/media

on some phones in

/cust

and on chinese phones in

/data/hw_init

Please make a backup of the original ones to be safe. If you ever need the originals please pm me, i got everything.

Hi there,

i'd Like to flash the Ressurection Remix Oreo Rom, but i don't get it to unlock the bootloader. I'm on Stock A2017GV1.2.0B10 Nougat. TWRP and Backups are done, but when i try to unlock the Bootloader i geht this message in cmd:

adb: error: connect failed: no devices/emulators found

Are there still some drivers missing or what am I doing wrong there???

Uninstall all drivers you see relating to your phone (adb, usb...)

Try install : http://adbdriver.com/downloads/

And https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905723896

And see if you can perform with the EDL Tool again or adb
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HeikoNote3:
Installed the ADB Drivers but in EDL tool the Phone is not recognised. Dont know what could the Problem...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] raystef66:
First boot into twrp, connect your phone, run the EDL Tool. Normaly the tool should reboot itself into EDL mode

Or try : run EDL tool, instead of power off phone, hold vol down+power, connect usb, just do the same by holding the 3 buttons ( i did that once when my phone was in a state of 'shock' and the 2 button way didn't work)

Btw, did you install the 2 drivers i gave you ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HeikoNote3:
Yes they're installed. I'm wondering that edl tool shows first ZTE ADB handset etc. And after boot into edl mode it shows no ADB interface... With axon7tool I can choose unlock Bootloader, then MI flash starts and then I don't know the files to flash for an unlock...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
MiFlash? Where did you read that you had to use MiFlash? ?

You need to use EDL Tool

Edit: Okay, I think I got it. You thought "EDL Tool" was actually axon7toolkit. Well, it isn't. Axon7toolkit, axon7tool, and EDL Tool are 3 different things
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HeikoNote3:
OK, then which tool should I prefer now? In EDL tool I was on a good way to unlock the Bootloader, but when I choose Yes, the unlock begins with load programmer something and stucks until I reboot EDL mode. Then it gives me an error message with: your device could be in Sahara mode. I don't understand anything anymore. Tried every driver, every tool but nothing will work. That drives me crazy...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Did you enable OEM unlock and USB debugging?

If you did and it still does that error, just use the manual method and follow Controllerboy's guide. That one uses axon7tool, which is much more finicky and ran by commands, but it works
