[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsGF2MX:
I have an android app that basically loses its connection while running in the background. However if the phone is kept on with screen on it keeps working.

Is there any app to keep the app in the foreground with screen off?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shashank1320:
you may try to add that under ignore optimization list
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsGF2MX:
I have tried that but it didn't yield any results. When the phone goes to sleep for around 10 mins or so, the app doesn't receive any alerts. If I had an option to ditch the app I would but I'm stuck with it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shashank1320:
Which app, phone and rom details?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsGF2MX:
The phone is a J6 2018 with the stock 8.0 rom. The app in question is Salesforce.

A wire shark capture from the wifi ap shows the phone basically doesn't keep the connection alive and downloads all Salesforce push alerts when the phone is switched on.

Strangely other apps including chat apps like whatsapp works fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shashank1320:
May be thats the app causing this. Sime apps cause such things like MDM, mobile pass, Symantec VIP etc. Kinda all corporate apps.

Whats was the behaviour on any of your other phones?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsGF2MX:
I had an iOS device which is working fine but an S7 device had the same issue. A friend of mine said the same on a V20 with 7.0.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shashank1320:
Yes because iOS and Android handles the applications in totally different way. as all of your Android devices and your friends's have the same behavior, its application causing this and not OS specific. Corporate apps behaves like this, even boxer email (VM ware owned) act differently on Android and works just fine on iOS as if they were developed for iOS only.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsGF2MX:
Agreed on app behavior and OS. At the moment I am collecting info before I pass it on and at the same time trying desperately not to look like I'm ignoring folks when I check the phone every 10 mins. Sadly the app was rolled out and has to be used.

At this point I would settle for something that would wake the phone up every 10 mins or something just because of this.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] VeerAmrit:
Did you solve the problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] talhosvi:
I have 100% the same problem:

if you try flashing any rom, even latest beta rom you get the message "Can not read from port COM{portnum}".

I followed every possible tutorial on this forum, nothing works.

Phone is refusing to flash with any rom.

There is a workaround: you can replace inside the images/ directory prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf file with a custom file.

( http://www.mediafire.com/file/mxugl93nf4675k9/prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf/file )

Then you can flash, you will not get the message "Can not read from port COM{portnum}" anymore.

However after flashing your phone will not boot.

There is no solution at the moment, you can throw away your phone.

[Amazfit] Sadegh:
(The problem is solved, you can find the solutions in first 2 pages)

I saw some pictures of the Amazfit watches that had been teardown.

I tried to do it, but the watch is glued and fitted hard, so I couldn't open it even with a heater.

Therefore I started this thread to ask for help, for me and people who need opening the watch because of battery drain issues or ...

And secondly, asking developers: is it possible to disable the watch's microphone by software operations, so that it stop using battery?

Thanks in advance:)

Sadegh
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
In the following I gathered all posts about opening the watch. I hope they help.

Unfortunately they did not said how exactly they opened the watch without damage.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
And this is the damage after I tried to open it.

I afraid to continue and totally break it.
[Amazfit] mikas2:
if you warm the smartwatch well with the hair dryer the glue becomes soft and the device opens easily not damaging anything, to glue again you should have indicated glue to be appropriately isolated and later take off again if necessary.
[Amazfit] passosk58:
I open my with cuter and help with hair dresser...simple..
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Thanks for your answers my friend

I'll try to open again.

And can somebody, a developer or ... help us to disable the microphone by software operations?

If this be possible I think it stop battery drain problem.
[Amazfit] lfom:
The problem isn't the mic, it's not active all the time... The problem is most probably due to a corroded barometer, that it will drain energy either being active or not. The only solution it to remove or replace the whole module.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Thanks for your clarification.

But what if the barometer be disabled? could it stop battery draining? or is it possible to disable it buy software or ROM measurement?
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I warmed it up for more than 10 mins.

But no luck its too fitted and I couldn't open it.
[Amazfit] mikas2:
For me it work like that, i think all devices are the same.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I used a better hair dryer and warmed it up.

That worked :D thank you and all friends who helped.

Now I have opened it and have this on the image:

how to reach the mic and barometer? and how to cut them?

and is it possible to only remove the barometer?

Thanks again
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Here is the pic:
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Ok I found it

there is no need to open the screws just insert some sharp thing like a needle in the hole of mic and take it out slowly.

Now I removed the mic and barometer, I am testing the battery life.

I hope it back to normal 5 good days :)
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
It seems removing mic and barometer worked.

In airplane mode, after 24 hour the battery from 98% is now 92%.

only 6 percent a day.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I removed the barometer from the board and now only the mic is on it.

Then I inserted the board again to the watch.

The battery is OK.

The mic is working. so I only lost the barometer.

Thats very satisfying :) .
[Amazfit] nizzamms:
mine still 86% after 24 hours, maybe i will try open the watch, hope someone can make a tutorial video how to remove mic and barometer
[Amazfit] nizzamms:
Sadegh, do u glue back the watch to retain at least waterproofing this watch ?
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Yes I did it today :)

But I dont dare to test its water-resistance (not proof) capability now :)
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Your battery seems OK.

But anyway after opening the watch

The only problem of battery draining is barometer that fortunately can be removed :)

you easily can take out the mic and barometer.

Then remove the barometer from the board and turn back the mic to the watch.

your mic works again and the battery will be OK hopefully.
[Amazfit] casper709394:
Hi sadegh,

could you show us the picture where to remove the mic and to remove the barometer?

also, when you glued back the watch, what kind of glue did you use?

appreciate to hear from you soon so i can used my watch as regular as i could. thank you in advance.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Hi casper

The mic and barometer board is located exactly beside the watch hole.

it is shown in this pic:

https://img.xda-cdn.com/sh08X4N59Jnbo4JInQ218OSdzko=/https://preview.ibb.co/ej1Hiy/photo2.jpg

I offer you totally remove the board from the watch. because it is better to cover the hole with glue that prevent water from more damages, so the mic cant record the voices anymore.

it easily can be removed and back to the watch.
[Amazfit] casper709394:
Good day Sadegh,

Thanks for your reply. As the picture shown, is the mic and barometer stick on the same board (sharing same board). Of I would like to remove the barometer means the mic will be remove as well. Sorry for my silly question because i cant still imagine it.

Another question, how do you glued the watch after finish? What kind of glue do you use.

Thank you in advance.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Your welcome Casper

Yes, as it can be seen mic is the higher one and barometer is the lower one.

https://img.xda-cdn.com/sh08X4N59Jnbo4JInQ218OSdzko=/https://preview.ibb.co/ej1Hiy/photo2.jpg

You can desolder the barometer and only remove it from the board (you may need the help of an expert, because the wires are very tiny)

the mic will continue its work and the battery drain will be solve too.

But I offer you to totally remove the board, both of mic and barometer.

because you have to close the mic hole for preventing further water problems.

And for the glue, it is silicon glue that is used for all mobile phones after opening them for reparing. you can ask a repair center to do it for you (for free :) )
[Amazfit] darrc:
So for new watches, can we just glue the barometer hole? Don't need the measurement, GPS is fine.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Yes, there is no problem. the watch become more resistible against water.

you just may lose the mic and barometer accuracy.

Still fast unloading despite mic removal

Hello, everybody,

I've been swimming with the clock since I got a quick discharge of the battery. It lasts a maximum of 24 hours in flight mode.

Then I opened the clock with a hairdryer and a carpet meter and removed the mic and barometer circuit board. Nevertheless the clock still discharges as fast as before.

Does anyone have a hint what I can still do myself?
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I think by swimming with it, you damaged the watch more than mic and barometer.

Did you find any water effect on the other parts of the watch board?

And do you close the mic hole after removing them?
[Amazfit] known.net:
HI,

Optically, I only saw some water damage on the contact plug next to the mic, otherwise I didn't notice anything.

What do you mean, close the hole? After removing the mic board, I only closed the clock provisionally, then loaded it and switched it on. To see how long the battery lasts.

BYE
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I mean to close the mic hole with glue or something to prevent water from entering the watch again.

And I suggest you read the treads about battery drain of amazfit, such as sync and Rom managements and ....

If it be a software problem it would be solved.

Good luck
[Amazfit] known.net:
Hi Sadegh,

First of all, thank you for your help.

I'm actually ruling out a software problem.

Can you tell me what is attached to the connector I have highlighted in red?

Bye

How do you know the water made the problem? Do you have fast battery draining?

I suggest you before continuing, first warm it slowly with a hair dryer and see if the problem will be solved or not.

battery is draining fast, touch running alone and heart rate reader has stopped working

after heating, you will remove the lcd and after that you can remove the inside of the housing of the watch with a thin spatula
[Amazfit] ahsim:
Can anybody explain why we need mic in our watches if it is not work?

But if it is damaged by water you have to remove it to stop battery leakage.

Did you check it on stratos? I tried voice record apps but no one work correctly, empty file created.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I had voice recode on pace.

But I think Zogaib, that opened the Stratos, can tell us if there is a mic in it or not.

to much heat

Hi all.

Couple of days, my Pace starts to insanely drain battery.

I have it for almost a year. And in this few day I made 2 mistakes.

First I left it on charger for day and a half. After that it discharges quickly. After factory reset problem remains. Then I let it discharge until it shuts down and charges to 100%. This helped and battery lasted for 4 day (previously was 5.5 days but I was happy).

Then goes mistake n 2. I wash hands in heavy flow and then it shuts down completely. After that, battery lasts for 12h. So I try opening and removing mic and barometer.

I tried to open it couple of times with no success. Last time I overdue heating and it pops up. But down plastic is deformed and display is defected (bright on the edges). So when you applying heat, be extra careful. I will post pictures when I figure it out.

But on the bright side, removing mic, battery now looks fine. Be back with more data.

If someone has any advice of corona on display or where can I find plastic bottom, please let me know.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS4181:
Got myself a Z00X(ZX551ML) as a spare unit to test things while I continue to use my current Z00A(ZE551ML) for daily usage, as I could not get myself another Z00A for the purpose. I'm posting it here because the Z00X forum is completely inactive and the device is mainly different in the amount of SIM slots and the camera, plus that some of the stuffs in this forum already have support for Z00X (like BORETS, and maybe TWRP).

So far I've been successful in unlocking the bootloader and flashing a raw MM firmware (to upgrade everything to MM level from LP), but I'm not sure how much a Z00A nougat custom ROM would work on it. To me it doesn't seem that cellular data and camera are going to work without issues and might require some porting...

Had anyone tried getting things worked on Z00A working on Z00X?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS4181:
Some progress.

First of all, after unlocking the BL from Lollipop then flashing the raw firmware (4.21.40.314, found here) I'm able to flash the latest TWRP for Z00A on Z00X and it works without any issues.

Tried flashing Z00A DotOS from this post on the Z00X target. The ROM boots, with some issues:

- The target, after flashing the MM firmware, has an Ifwi version of 0096.0123 whereas Z00A has 0094.0183. This prevents the ROM from being flashed as the update scripts have assertions on it, though it can be worked around.

- Camera works, maybe partially... I don't really know how the laser focus works though, but it does seem to function to a limited extent. The laser focus does blink and the camera could actually adjust the focus a bit, but zooming doesn't seem to work, it stays at 1x despite trying to zoom it in or out.

- The SIM part seems to differ a bit more than camera part, compared to Z00A. It's completely non-functional, as IMEI does not show (from Phone Status).

EDIT: Kernels meant for Z00A will work for Z00X, as this is true in official kernel source code, whose "fhd" target is meant for both devices.

Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the capacitors or how to upgrade them that control the RCA pre-out voltage please

The stock pre-out voltage is incredibly low when connecting to an amplifier via RCA, I know a line driver could be used but if I can accomplish the same thing by modifying the unit would make it easier and neater than adding more components to my system

Get the cheapest one. You can install the play store manual easily. Take a look at http://en.miui.com/thread-724110-1-1.html and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izlSUCbQ63o

I'll wait for the international version. This has more than one reason:

- the hope for widevine certification (which isn't present on the Chinese model -> no Netflix support for example)

- the price should drop a bit until they release the international version)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] dopefish1337:
- official language support (German is not supported in the Chinese ROM) -> you can still flash the global ROM one the chinese model. Beside this i dont care about german (and im from germany).

- the hope for widevine certification (which isn't present on the Chinese model -> no Netflix support for example) -> i dont think this will ever happen. Take a look at other Xiaomi global rom devices...
