[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
if from your pc you type:

adb reboot bootloader

does it go to the bootloader?

If so, while the bootloader is displayed, from the pc if you type:

fastboot devices

Are you saying it responds with nothing?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
So I'm confused.

If I type "adb reboot bootloader" with my phone connected; it boots into fast boot mode and will accept fastboot commands.

it shows the "Fastboot" screen with the option to start the device if the power buttoned is pressed.

What are you trying to do?

Are you saying you don't get the screen?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] minhas4all:

it does nothing just go to next prompt

i want to unlock bootloader and root

Thanks once again

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
Google has rolled out Assistant support for tablet devices with the latest update. However there are certain RAM(>1.5 gb) and screen resolution (> 720p) constraints for enabling it.

Has anyone been able to run the assistant with lower screen resolutions ?I have a 1024x600 resolution device. I have been able to change the resolution with adb shell wm size to 1024x720 when connected to the device shell over wifi. This however, reduces the width of the screen and squeezes everything up even though Google Assistant starts working magically.

There must be a way to bypass the screen resolution check (WITH ROOT) or just fake it without actually changing the display . Have heard about Assistant Enabler on XPOSED but I'm scared I might brick my device with that unless someone has tested it already on it. Is there a better way ?

PS: Device is a Joying car entertainment unit (Intel Sofia) on android 6.0.1 .

Google assistant on low res devices

Hi I'm Paul,

I AM DISABLED IN A WHEEL CHAIR I did have this running on a z80 full lollipop android watch and it worked great, for a whole year then the low res issue was installed on updates. This no longer works so I am also looking for a solution, for my new q1 pro watch running marshmallow.

My phone have 3 hours SOT on performance mode, and 3.5 hours SOT on smart battery mode.

I am on stock (7.1) with greentify and jovoc battery tweak.

Lately, I do a battery check using USB capacity tester (KEWEISI).

Charging my phone from 0% to 100%.

And the result is 1580 mhA :((

This explains two facts:

1. While so many people confirm that Axon 7 have good battery, and somes complain about terrible battery recently.

2. Accu​Battery is not really "accurate" tool to check your battery (the app report that the phone have 2700 mhA left).

Still, I wonder what had toasted my battery so much - quick charging ? overnight charging?

Beside, I notice shadow on navigation bar area (on full white screen, the navigation bar area is more white, the rest is little yellow

______

Edited: After replaced the battery, SOT is 6 hours
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzarectha:
My two previous HTC phones had huge battery issues after the first year. I treated them bad in this regard, charging very often (rarely let them go under 50%), and I let them charge over night.

I am doing a better job with my Axon now, I never let it charge over night, I always keep it between 20% - 80%, and I avoid using quick charge if possible (I prefer charging it at my PC, slow and steady) quick charge is causing the battery to heat a bit and that is causing a lot of damage over time.

Indeed 3H SOT is very bad, even with my HTC One M9 that was abused pretty badly in this regard I had 5 - 6 hours SOT, and the battery on it was lower capacity to begin with.

And about the yellow spot on screen, my M9 had that too, just a bit under the notification bar on the right side. I assume that there's something in that area that heats up during charging? I noticed that if the phone was cool that spot on the screen was barely noticeable, and when the phone was charging and hot, the spot would become very dark and noticeable.

[MENTION=4850732]tamahouse[/MENTION], today, after your first post, I've tested my phone by a complete discharge/charge round with Accubattery and I can confirm you that the results are not reliable. The estimated capacity of the battery is completely wrong.

[MENTION=4850732]tamahouse[/MENTION] [MENTION=555635]JLLE[/MENTION] May I ask how you guys are using Accubattery? I tested with someone else w/ an USB thingy and it reported about 50 mA less which is much better than what you're saying.

To get a good reading from Accubattery you have to make at least 3 readings with the phone on standby. If you use it while it's charging, the phone will use current, so the current that gets to the battery is way less, and you get weird readings.

I've used it thrice and I got 2400 twice and 2350 the last time. You can see clear outliers on the graph when you charge it with the screen on
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLLE:

I've used Quickcharge 3.0 ever since I got this phone over a year ago. Still get about a day of battery life. Charging overnight. YMMV, but I don't think QC causes battery degradation to a significant degree.

Edit: Installing the cancer that is Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat seem to drain my battery like mad.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzarectha:
I can't tell for sure that this will cause noticeable damage. I just noticed that quick-charge makes my battery heat a bit, and it is known that heat will cause damage over time. I assumed that it's safer to keep the phone as cool as possible while charging it. it was also mentioned in an article about how to properly care for your battery.

Regarding facebook, instagram, etc. I fully agree, those apps are absolutely horrendous. My policy is: if I can open it in a browser without any major inconvenience, I will not install the app for it. It keeps my phone clean and tidy and I like to believe that it will prolong its lifetime if it's not kept under pressure from abusive apps like the above.

I do an USB test again from 0% to 100% without turning on the phone. It report 1680mhA.

Accubattery reports the capacity is 1990mhA with the phone turn on

I think the main difference is that, accubattery does the calculate while the phone is consuming battery. [MENTION=4744366]patio54[/MENTION]

I often take the phone to the bathroom - it is not water resistant, but it can handle the steam in the bathroom. Not sure if after teardown the phone would be the same.

Still, axon 7 is a great phone, I may use it for more time, I aready order battery from China, it is dirt cheap: 4 dollars bonus with some 3M tape.

Oh no doubt. In theory it causes damage, but I don't know pragmatically how bad it is for it. I figure by the time it actually accumulates enough damage to make a difference, we'll be on a different phone anyway.

Try charging it with the screen off a couple more times (Not necessarily from 0 to 100, you could do it from 30 for example) and see if it gets closer to the actual value reported by the usb thingamajig

Battery degradation just happens. If you guys with now low SOT used the hell out of your A7s, quick charging with 3amps and everything for 2 years, well, it's about the time the battery starts to go.

And +1000 to never using apps if there's a website for any service, especially FB/msgr when using desktop mode in any browser lets you avoid msgr nightmare.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
It actually depends on how your ROM is set up. If you have it all proper, it should drain less than 100 ma/hr (about 1% on a new batt) which would be negligible when you measure.

And you can't deny that it's way closer than what you said before. The whole point of using Accubattery is to know whether the problem is your battery or your phone. If you were able to read 1600, then you're pretty sure it's the battery
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SantiHurtado:
Welp, I already ordered the battery and the necessary tools. I'll update once I do it, but it'll get here next week as I don't live in the US.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Battery wear is something that can be reduced to almost nothing with proper charging habits. Do NEVER charge it over 90%. The battery wears a lot when charging the last 10%. Charging it to 100% wears it 1 charging cycle, while charging it to only 90% wears it about 0.1% so only this trick can reduce the wear of your battery to 1/10. There are some kernel tweaks and some apps that take care of that and stop charging at a given percentage. As you can see, leaving your phone plugged at night will kill your battery very quickly. Just don't do it!

On the other hand, making your battery drain less than 10% is also a problem. The high current required to pull the energy stored in the battery when the level is so low wears the battery. So taking care of that will save your battery too.

It is also important to know that Quick charge is NOT bad for batteries, It is actually a lot healthier since the battery is not heated for a long time. Heat is a problem too for the battery. So, try to avoid old charging units as possible and use only wall outlet or car QC 3.0 chargers as much as possible. A lot of small charging sessions is healthy as long as the battery is within the range 20-80%. I have been doing this and my Axon 7 retains the same energy storage as new after 18 months of healthy charging habits.

These advises are also applicable to laptops and any other device using a Li-ion battery.
