More info.

Battery in and out holding the power button had no effect. Phone runs fine while plugged in. Plug it in and after 5 seconds the amber LED turns to red. While plugged in the red led will flash amber every so often.

I measured the battery voltage as I turned the phone on, it dropped to ~ 3.98v, then came back to 4.1v as the phone turned itself off. It gets all the way to my Today screen before going off. Just sitting in the phone with it off is 4.1v. Hook up the charger and the battery sees 4.18 and rising after 20 seconds. These are direct measurements at the battery terminals while in the phone.

So this looks like a software issue to me. The phone is charging the battery and there is plenty of power to run the phone, the phone somehow doesn't see it that way. It sees a dead battery. Well, I guess it could be a voltage sensor gone bad , somewhere somehow. Next step is to hard reset and see if it makes any difference.

edit: While plugged in and the screen on, the led stays amber. When the screen goes off(set for 2 minutes) the led turns red. Screen back on, led amber. I just set the screen not to go off while plugged in(charging), we'll see. The power is showing 7% now and says charging, too early to tell if it's rising or not.

edit 2: It stayed on the charger for several hours and never moved past 7%. Tried a hard reset with no luck. Next step is to send it to a repair shop(I bought it used) and hopefully spend only the $95-$125 they quoted.

Will keep you apprised.

Att Tilt Power/Battery Issues.

I am having somewhat similar issues with my Tilt, with the power/battery problems as described previously. I woke up this morning, and attempted to turn my phone on, and it wouldnt come on at all. I then plugged it into the ac adapter, and the LED comes on, and goes green. I waited a few moments, then powered the phone on to take a look at the battery life, and the phone boots up, then reboots during the splash screen. After it reboots itself, I check the battery indicator and it shows 1%. If I exit the battery screen, and re-enter it, it will say 100%. Now, as soon as I remove the charger from the system, it automatically powers down. I played with it for about 15 minutes, but needed to head to work, so I took the phone with me, and attempted to use my car charger. Same problem. Now, I figured, fine, I'll see how it behaves while I am at work, so I brought my charger to work, and have it plugged in at my desk, and if I leave it plugged in and on, it stays on for about 5 minutes, then automatically reboots. LED stays green, but phone will not stay on, if unplugged, or plugged in for longer than 5 minutes. I have never dropped it, and have babied the phone like no other, concidering I paid $400 for it. I'm a little bummed out, but cant determine if its a battery or hardware problem. Any advice/input for me from any of you guys? before I head to the ATT store, and cry for a new phone? Thanks a bunch for any responses to this.

*UPDATE* After I got off work, I went into my local ATT store, explained the situation, and was given a brand new replacement phone in like 10 minutes. I was under 30 days owning it, so he just swapped it out, barley any questions asked. (altho i explained my situation in detail as it was). So.... hopefully it doesnt happen again, or else I'll have to use the warranty. Anyways, Any insight on what may cause this would always be helpful for both myself and the community. =)

EDIT: They got it Monday and I got it back Friday. Good turnaround! They fixed the problem, it works perfectly now. I recommend these people.

Sent it off to Cell Phone Repair(CPR) in Chicago that gave me an estimate of $95 (inc. ship. back) based on my description. They just called and told me it was corrosion around and in the power/usb port. They got it yesterday and will send it back repaired tomorrow with a 90 day warranty. No more saunas for this phone(it was only one! :o )

I'll let you know if they work out well or not.

So I just updated to the official release of Android Pie and I am trying to get the PitchBlack theme to work. I am using Substratum V. 999 and newest version of PitchBlack. Has anyone gotten this to work? My phone is rooted and it grants permissions but I get the error "substratum cannot connect to andromeda backend". Is Andromeda still needed? I tried uninstalling and re-installing (all 3), rebooting, following the instructions and using Substratum CI. Nothing seems to work. I can build and enable the overlays but when I reboot, there is nothing in the overlay manager to enable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Well known issue my friend. First, clear substratum app cache/data and uninstall it. After you reboot use this version. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S_2XmrGn8l5-zjnE24fvwPt8FiKnnt-b/view?usp=drivesdk

It's the 998 version. When you build your overlays, select "build and update" Then reboot, go to substratum manage and enable them :good:

And since your rooted, get rid of Andromeda :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kj13569:
That worked! Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
This workaround isn't working for me. I'm using version 998 and I keep getting the "please compile this overlay before applying"

Steps:

1) I was previously using 999. Killed app, cleared cache, uninstall.

2) I installed 998 as mentioned here.

3) Restarted, "build and update" on PitchBlack. Restart

4) Tried change overlay states for that theme. I get the message that you need to compile first.

5 )Cleared cache and killed app once again.

6) Uninstalled all substratum themes.

7) Reinstall pitchblack and restart.

8) Perform build and update step for pitchblack

9) Restart and again tried applying it . Same compilation message

I noticed when I perform "build and update," it zooms through the steps super fast (takes like a second and a half) and gives compilation errors.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
I had problems with pitchblack using the latest updated substratum. I went back to 998 and that version worked for me. Not sure what's going on with yours.

Are you on a clean install of Android pie or did you dirty flash?

I am on a clean flash and pitchblack works fine with 998.

I've tried to get pitch black to work but to no success. I have 998 subsrtatum from previous poster. If I select all and pick the settings I want, it compiles but with errors.

I have an issue with a game called Gear.Club on Android Pie and Pixel 2 XL. The game works fine on Android Oreo 8.1.

The issue is that with Android Pie, the game loads and detects a gamepad connected to my device and switches the control mode to game pad and disables tilt controls, but I don't have a gamepad connected. I've tried a factory reset, starting the game with bluetooth disabled, nothing seems to work. The only solution I've found is to revert my system back to Android 8.1.

Does anyone else have this issue?

The game was installed via the Google Play Store: "Gear.Club - True Racing", and the device is stock not rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dragonsoul777:
So I was just doing some hardware tuning using Kernel Adiutor to save battery, restarted, and it booted up (I was using apply on boot obviously) and was running very slowly. I tried to change the settings, but the phone froze. "No problem", I thought as I rebooted via adb command. It reboots and I cancel the apply on boot, and it freezes after five minutes. I reboot again, freezes again. Reboot, freeze. This happens about 6 or 7 times , each time freezing sooner than the last. Then, it freezes one last time, then the screen goes black. I try reboot and reboot to bootloader/recovery with hardware buttons with no success. So I assume it powered off, but I should check adb first. I ran the devices command and it showed up as active. I ran all basic reboot commands and those just sit there and never complete (I sat here for 20 minutes waiting for it).

I also thought it may be stuck in Android with no display, which I've had happen before on another S7, but it doesn't respond to touch or hardware buttons, and doesn't show up in file explorer (I have screen lock off so it shows up even when off normally).

So then I thought it may be stuck in bootloader with no display. I open up Odin and it recognizes the device, but won't flash anything at all.

Also, this device has never been dropped to my knowledge, and has no cracks, so I doubt it's hardware damage.

I've tried everything I can think of, and Google yielded no results thus far

TL;DR

Messed up with Kernel Adiutor and the screen went black after multiple reboots and freezes

Tried hardware reboots and adb reboots

The device shows up in adb and Odin, but not in file explorer (no screen lock, usually shows up even with screen off)

Odin cannot flash anything, so it's not in bootloader

Other Info:

It's obviously a Galaxy S7

It was originally a Sprint phone (G930P)

It now has Unlocked firmware (G930U)

It is also running engboot for root permissions

I have some previous experience with engboot with my other S7 and have had no problems after 2 years rooted

Any help at all is appreciated

Edit:I'm an actual idiot and didn't know about force reboot (power and vol. down for 10 sec.) and that worked :/

Re: Kernel Default values

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] acefr:
Recently, my screen starts to have some narrow trapezoid dark marks along the left and right sides when the screen brightness drops below 40% (like 28% set by Auto Brightness). Sometimes there is also some color bleeding (from the icons and background below) at the top edge when the dark marks appear. When the brightness is 40% or above, they disappear. I suspect it has something to do with the PWM that controls the brightness. Does anyone has similar experience and any suggested ways to fix it? I am considering to send it to LG warranty repair. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] zacharias.maladroit:
It's unrooted and on stock ROM, right ?

you could try a factory reset and see if it changes anything ...

Was the phone particularly hot at the point in time ?

Are you gaming ... like a lot ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] acefr:
It is a T-Mobile, so no root and stock rom.

I may try a factory reset and see how it goes.

No, it was not very hot when it happened. It was at normal operating temperature.

No gaming. I don't even have any games installed. Those are not burn-in, as they are not in a fixed position. If I adjust the brightness, the dark marks will shift their location with the brightness %, so I suspect it is the PWM that causes it.

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Gentatsu:
I made a standalone navigation app for Wear OS! Here's the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.onibaku.standalonewearmap

Here's the full description on the app so you can get a glance at the features:

Users can type in a location, or long press on the map to input a destination. They can choose to travel via walking, cycling or car.

The app will navigate the user from their current location to the destination using turn-by-turn navigation. Each step is highlighted on the path, with text to show you what action to take, and how long until you reach that step. The map rotates along with the device, so will follow the forward-facing direction of the watch.

The app only needs an internet connection for the initial retrieval of the directions. After that, it solely relies on GPS until the user arrives at the destination.

This (obviously) only works on watches that have GPS.

If you have any suggestions at all, I'd love to know them.

The next feature I plan to implement is importing a GPX file in from Google Drive, so you can navigate a more unorthodox/scenic route, which would suits cyclists. I initially developed this for when I go cycling, as we don't usually want to take the fastest route somewhere.

Let me know if there any burning features that are needed in this, and I'll do my best to deliver. This is a small side-project, so I don't have too much time to work on it, but I find it quite useful personally, and I hope others will, too.

Someone suggested I release a demo version so people can try it and see if they wish to buy it. I have released one here

It only has the dropped pin functionality, and only allows walking as a navigation mode. The zoom is also locked.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] ruggs1234:
This is looking really good. I want true standalone navigation on my Huawei Watch 2 4G. It has a sim so loads the route standalone and seems to be able to do everything expected...i'm trying the demo version now.

One question though...unless i'm missing something..how do you exit the app? I'm currently having to force close it.

(And as a side note have you checked out the Wear OS app Ghostracer? You can import a gpx file and follow your progress on a map on the watch. Maps are downloadable to the watch, although ive never tried that. My watch has a sim so updates the map as im riding using the watches data. Heavy on the battery though.)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Gentatsu:
I had not realised that the app does not cease to use GPS whilst it is in sleep mode, so I have added a button to exit the app properly when you drag down. I've just released it now.

I have had a look at it, but it doesn't seem to work unless you have an android phone. I am currently looking into offline maps and importing GPX files. Do you know if it does that via the android app, and how it imports it? I was looking to use Google drive, as that seems to be the only viable storage solution supported on Wear atm.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] ruggs1234:
Thankyou for the exit button, works great. Having tested the demo app i'm happy, and I will purchase. One further comment, the battery drain is heavy, as expected. Any chance of an ambient mode while the map is running to save battery? I may be pushing my luck, but I can only ask!

Ghostracer does indeed need a companion Android app on the phone. The gpx file is loaded into the app on the phone (using a file manager) then passed to the Ghostracer app on the watch. Maps are treated the same, but I just use the data from my sim in the watch to load maps as I ride when needed. You can follow a gpx route standalone on the watch in a similar way to following the route on your app. I am not connected to Ghostracer in any way, I just think its a wonderful app for cyclists and runners (within the watches battery limitations). And the free version allows you to test all its features. It might not be right for you, but it was worth a mention based on what you said earlier. (And the map screen has an ambient mode....:D )
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Gentatsu:
Great :). I did play around with the ambient mode, but it was just the same as the standard google maps ambient mode. It takes away the turn-by-turn, location, and path. If I could persist these, and set the GPS to update every 30 secs - 1 minute, I'd probably keep it, but I'm not sure how. I'd like to stick in options to set the GPS update frequency, or have the screen turn back on only for upcoming turns.

That's really cool! That's essentially what I would have liked on my watch but standalone. I really don't like the idea that you HAVE to use a companion app, especially when it's not available for iOS. I know they're competing watches, but I love the price point of android watches compared to Apple's, and their features shouldn't pale in comparison by way of hardware.

How does their ambient map work, if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to look into it. What does their paid version allow you to do? I only had a paid version before someone mentioned to put the free one on, just to give people a flavour of it. I tried to emphasise the main bit, which was the turn-by-turn navigation. The search and other transportation modes were secondary.

Cheers for the feedback and suggestions, though! I really do appreciate it! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] ruggs1234:
Ghostracers ambient map is black background with white markings until you lift your wrist...but that might not work when using your app while driving (watch off the wrist?).

I've now purchased your app (Google made that hard work!)...all still good. One question...when I zoom the map in the map un-zooms straight back. Any way to make the zoom stick?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Gentatsu:
Do the markings include the path/trail? I've used the black background one before, and the building outlines are (kinda) white. Yeah, I do have my watch affixed to my handlebars on my bicycle.

Great - Thanks! It's much appreciated! How come it was hard work, if you don't mind me asking? Ah, yep. That was one of the first things I forgot to change! I completely forgot about it! I've made it so that if you zoom/pan, it'll stick unless you press the "my location" button again.

Huawei watch 2 built-in GPS not working anymore

Hi ruggs1234, it was a long time since you wrote your experience with this app. I downloaded the demo today and I tested it. Looks like since last Google's update, the huawei watch 2 doesn't use its built-in standalone GPS. Please, would you mind to check whether you are having this problem now? The only way I got it work was by connecting the watch to a phone through Bluetooth.

Kind regards, Angel
