[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andromoid911:
"Battery usage data isn't available" /data/system/batterystats.bin -daily.xml etc

Got a "new" left over stock Nexus 6 through Ebay, installed lineageos 15.1 nightly, MindTheGApps, root, radio, bootloader. Everything seems to be working nicely, except the Nexus 6 runs pretty warm rather quickly after using it, and I find that the battery is draining pretty quickly. In standby mode it doesn't drain quickly.

But I get no access to battery stats in the settings, because under Battery, it says "Battery usage data isn't available".

There has been talk about this before, but it's all pretty wishy washy. Some people apparently had success by using recovery to clear the cache. Others deleted the /data/system/batterystats.bin file using the battery calibration app from the play store (I know I know, there is no such thing as "calibrating" a battery, but it's just used a tool to delete that file in this case), the one that happens to mention batterystats.bin in its description. Others simply waited a while, and others ended up reflashing. Short of reflashing, nothing has worked. I've tried to manually delete that bin file using Termux and then rebooting. I can see that the file gets regenerated upon boot. What is the reason why the Settings/Battery feature can not show any of its details?

Aside from batterystats.bin, I also see batterystats-checkin.bin and batterystats-daily.xml. Does anyone know anything about those files, and could I perhaps delete them all (or rather, move them into a backup folder so I can place them them if needed), without bricking my phone?

Try using acubattery for some days and see what condition the battery is in. Even if the device is new, left over stock, the battery might really be damaged.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andromoid911:
I'm installing that now, thanks.

I just found this: (I'm not yet allowed to post links), youtube: v=dZL2LDAg5cs

So, in developer mode, Android can produce a bug report zip file that you can upload to a special website, that is able to pluck detailed battery usage data from. I wonder if there is an app that can do that instead. I suppose that app would not be able to directly show this kind of detailed information, but would have to be pointed to a zip file that the built-in bug report developer feature stored, eg, in the Downloads directory.

All this is only needed to troubleshoot what the cause of the battery drain is. But yeah, it may well be that the battery is old and stale or whatnot, even though it has not been used for like what, 4 years since it was manufactured. Interesting to find a "new" unopened sealed Nexus 6 on Ebay in 2018 though...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
In your first post, you indicated you installed bootloader amongst other things. Did you mean boot? As in a third party kernel? If you really meant bootloader, would you go into more detail on that.

When you first turned on the device, what version of Android was it?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andromoid911:
I followed the official instructions on how to install LineageOS 15.1. Part of that was flashing the bootloader using fastboot.

I just checked my phone again. It still says "Battery usage data isn't available.".

Accubattery was showing many details on how different apps were using power, but now it's only showing 2 entries. One for settings, and the other "Trebuchet" which I think is the camera app that comes with LOS. Oh, AccuBattery itself spontaneously joined in the list.

Anyway, I don't expect Android to work all perfect, because it's clearly one big pile of make shift goo. Nothing ever works right on it. You have to literally babysit the damn thing fighting problem after problem after problem.

Trebuchet is the LineageOS stock launcher.

i have this same problem with my Alldocube x, it drains pretty quickly and heats up enough I had the urgency to shove it into the freezer, sometimes I stick a block of ice cube on the back metal to counter the heat, I am only using youtube.

Along with this annoying heating problem is the battery drain and no battery usage problem.

I also tried resetting, reformatting, clearing cache etc.

im loving the Tab S4 screen on this and I cant go back to petty LCD tablets.

G-NetFace uses neural network for face recognition. You can compare two faces or select face and search folder with images for face match.

App on Google Playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gyokovsolutions.gnetface

COMPARE FACES:

Load two images and calculate similarity between faces. If an image contains several faces you can select which one to use for comparison.

How to use:

1. Load face 1 image.

2. Load face 2 image.

3. Press COMPARE FACES - similarity between faces is calculated. You can also see chart of the 128 face embeddings that neural network produces.

FOLDER SEARCH:

Load face image and search matching face in a folder of images.

How to use:

1. Load face image.

2. Select folder with images to be searched.

3. Press START - the selected face is compared with faces in images in selected folder and the results with similarity bigger than defined threshold in settings are shown.

Settings:

- Folder search threshold - defines threshold which results to appear in FOLDER SEARCH. Faces with similarity bigger than this threshold will be shown.

- Face detection area shrink percentage - control the size of the area around the face. Setting positive values will shrink the area and negative values will expand it.

- Face detection area lowering percentage - control the height of the area around the face. Setting positive values will lower the area around face and negative values will lift the area.

- Always align faces - when this is checked the faces will be automatically aligned. This will improve the results, but will slow the process.

By adjusting Face detection area shrink and lowering percentage you can control what part of the image is matched.

Hi,

Checking if LGL 157BL ( LG Rebel 3) can be rooted. Tried KingRoot with no luck.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clcombs262:
Try others, but have little hope

The LG Rebel 3 has a low success rate being rooted with these:

Kingoroot (Android/Windows)

Framaroot (Android)

One Click Root (PC)

Manually using adb and fastboot

Lower end devices like this one usually can't be rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] RiTCHiE007:
Hi,

Does anyone know how many grams a official galaxy s7 g930 battery weights?

I bought a new battery directly from amazon and not a 3rd party seller but its hard to find out if its a real or fake 1 so i was hoping i could check if the total gram weight is the same so i hope someone can help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Hai Karate:
I have three official S7 batteries and they're all 41 grams.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] RiTCHiE007:
Thanks bro, thats what i wanted to know!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Hai Karate:
No problem. Just as an update and for the benefit of anyone looking for more info on fake batteries, I actually have four original Samsung S7 batteries from a mix of suppliers (SDI, Amperex, maybe one other?) and they all weigh 41 grams on my scale. I had a fake that weighed 39 grams.

Another thing you can check is to use a barcode scanner app and check the barcode to make sure it matches what's printed on the battery *and* that it decodes to something in the proper format. The genuine battery's barcode should decode to a Samsung part number (which should be correct for the model of the battery) plus the text printed to the left of the barcode, plus some numbers. The barcode on the fake S7 battery decoded to the string "GH43-04575A+DL1H217HS+009488". GH43-04575A is the part number for an S7 Edge battery (obviously wrong) and the text printed on the battery was "DL1H226C5" which didn't match the barcode either.

For a third check, all of the ink on the battery label could be rubbed off with a finger.

The fake battery worked great at first but after two or three weeks it would barely last 12 hours with moderate usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] RiTCHiE007:
Thanks for all the other pointers and it seems that my battery is a real one :)

I bought this directly from amazon for 12 euro while samsung guided me to a official parts seller that sold the battery for 45 euro so i thought it was worth the risk and glad that it turned out alright.

Only problem i have with the battery is that it looks like it came from a phone because i can see little damages and still see some glue on the back on front from the removed white sticker.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xsever:
So my S7 Flat, which I bought in October 2016, had started suffering from relatively more poor battery life during the past couple of months. Getting an OEM replacement at the local Samsung Service Center was going to cost me $70.

I tried my luck with a $12 Moxom battery and it's been 2 weeks now where I'm using it and the results have been tremendous. My Screen-on-time is now back to 5+ hours.

Flash back to original SPL

Thanks to Olipro, Cmonex, Pawel062 and Abbsta

Note: use restore spl only in warranty situation. Hard-spl is much more safe than original spl!

So:

I advice first flash your original rom. (step manually to bootloader, after start the RomUpdateUtiliy from the downloaded original rom)

Restore original SPL:

Download the attached originalspl.zip (these are from the offical 1.25.405.1 WWE, 1.28.405.1 Test WWE and 3.13.405.0 WWE HTC rom)

Unpack it to a folder.

Connect your PDA to PC, and be sure Active Sync can connect to it.

Start the RomUpdate Utility from the folder.

You will see the tricolor screen on you pda, and device will ask you to Replug USB cable. DO IT!

After a few seconds original spl is restored. (this will restore only spl, not flash the full rom)

You can check it to enter manually to bootloader.

You have to see this in tricolor:

POLA100 (or POLA200)

SPL-1.25.0000 (or SPL-1.28.0000 or SPL-3.13.0000)

CPLD-2

Do it on your own risk!

If you are stucked in bootloader or in windows screen, this will not work!

With Hard-SPL v2 I see a EnterBooloader.exe file, do we need to run this to enter Bootloader rather than the manual step?

Update 1: You don't need to get into Booloader mode manually.

Update 2: Please add this, "You must always do a HARD RESET after a successful custom ROM flash." Follow this guide on how-to SOFT RESET & HARD RESET a Polaris (http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_cruise_polaris_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html)
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Hard reset is a good idea!

With Hard-spl DO NOT use Manually Bootloader. I did not write to use it...

With Rom and Radio Rom flash USE Manually Bootloader. (becuse it will use the hard-spl on pda, not the jump-spl in Enterbootloader.exe)

To enter Bootloader, you only need Camera, and Reset button!

Hi I have a question, I have done the first part Hard-SPL evething is fine, but know:

How to install cooked rom.

Download the cooked rom, and unpack it to a folder.
STEP MANUALLY to bootloader. (Press and hold camera button and press reset)
You will see a tricolor screen on you PDA, and you have to see SPL-2.20.Olinex string.
Now connect your PDA to PC.
From the Hard-spl folder, run RomUpdateUtility.exe, or Rom.exe, (Next, Next….)
The screen will be grey, and a few minutes later the new rom will be installed.
(After rom flash Hard Reset is strongly recommended)

I have the rom from bepe in one folder and the Hard-spl in another folder how can choose the rom from bepe ? I must use the rom.exe from the folder of the bepe rom ?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Yes, Bepe use Rom.exe...Hard-spl use Romupdateutiliy.exe.
