OP (and others), some credit cards provide phone insurance. [1,2]

Not necessarily worth getting a credit card for unless you are using it for something else, or taking advantage of any available sign-up bonus, but thought I'd chime in with 'passive' insurance. I believe all of these consist on charging your monthly bill on the card, and have slightly different coverage/limitations/stipulations.

I've been using the Worth Ave Group insurance for the past few years for my wife and I and I love them. Inexpensive coverage and absolutely stress free customer service and processing. I've had 2 screens replaced without issue at a repair center of my choosing. You go get the estimate and they send you a check minus the $75 deductible, no questions asked.

Solution:

This was first fixed by LOS 16 with their stock kernel. The fix is also in Derp 3.0 kernel ("Rebased over CAF Pie kernel (LA.UM.7.2.r1)"), which can be used with custom ROMs like RR and PE. This kernel can not be used with MIUI, but MIUI did not have this problem, so that does not matter.

So it looks like it was changes/fixes to the WiFi driver in CAF that had to be merged into the kernel. Other custom kernels which also include those fixes would very likely also fix the problem.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the continuation of the discussion from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/rom-aosip-8-1-t3804473/page85

I have a problem, together with a few other guys (discussed at LOS, RR and AOSiP threads) and that is WiFi idle drain on custom ROMs.

I tried various Oreo ROMs (LOS, AospEx, AOSiP, PE) and various kernels (stock, NoName, Derp) and various firmwares (9.5.6.0, 9.5.11.0, 9.5.17.0, 8.7.5 and even 8.8.16 non-arb) and always have 3%/hour battery drain on WiFi, while I have only 0.5%/hour on LTE.

There was no problem during my 2 weeks on MIUI global stable 9.5.13.0 and 9.5.17.0.

There are apparently 2 settings that can affect WiFi power saving on clients: DTIM and UAPSD. On my Unifi APs, DTIM was at 1 (default) und UAPSD is off. I tried with 3 and on, but it did not change anything.

This is all while the device is in deep sleep.

Until now, I only had the drain at home (5 GHz, only tested once with 2.4 GHz). At work or in a hotel, everything was OK. But all other devices do not have that problem on my home WiFi and neither did this phone running MIUI.

For example, LOS 15.1 with same apps and same WiFi causes no such drain on Note 4/Mido.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sidamos77:
After some searching in the MIUI forums, I also found some guys with WiFi idle drain there. But it seems, this started after MIUI 9.5.6.0 for them.

So, I flashed firmware 9.5.6.0 on my PE 8.1 installation. Still 20% drain over night on idle WiFi. So, this firmware does not help either and it's the oldest Oreo firmware I found.

Answering a question from the other thread:

Normally, I am on airplane mode over night, not charging. This causes only 1% drain total. In the morning, I am charging the device. This is generally enough time to get to 100%. I am not charging over night because this is not so good for the battery.

So, I am experiencing the idle drain during the evening at home and during the weekend at home. On LTE at work, everything is fine, even great.

The only thing left that I can do is to go back to LOS and create a bug report in their Jira. They are the only ones to have a proper bug tracker and also I think the LOS maintainers are the same guys that brought treble support to the device in the first place. I will do that probably on Wednesday, with the new LOS version from this week.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] phiexz:
i'm on AOSiP now and i think dont have wifi idle drain (ss from BBS attached).

this device almost always in wifi, and it could easily reach 10h of SOT with 2days + usage

for info, my phone in miui China V9.5.16.0.OEICNFA while waiting 360 hours to unlock. and after unlock i just flash it with:

AOSiP + opengapps pico 20180812 + Magisk V16.0 without flashing any firmware / Miui Global rom before.

and im using LEDE 17.01.4 for router (2.4 Ghz band) if that matters

so many users have wifi idle drain (even on AOSP based rom) and this made me a lil bit curious too, maybe i'll try flash Lineage OS / RR tonight and let it idle until morning.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] peter-k:
Aosip here, too. No wifi idle drain observed.

I flashed Havoc today to see if I have any on LOS based ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kingsizex:
Sometimes the drain linked with Wifi Location Scanning.

On Oreo go to: Settings > Security & Location > Location > Scanning.

Also this will be affected by what kind of apps you have installed as it will influence how many times this mechanism is used.

Try to disable wifi/bluetooth scanning and see if there is a change in the behaviour.

Hope it helps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] biswassumit25:
You guys can remember me posting some screenshot about my battery drain overnight, it the aosip thread. Well, here is the day 2 result.

Well I think it isn't much for me, I can live with it. But ofcouse 3% per hour like someone said is not acceptable.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VincentJoshuaET:
Seems like I also experienced this on the latest Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM on stock kernel with Magisk. I have flashed Derp 2.2., still haven't tested yet.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] peter-k:
6 h on Havoc, Wifi on all the time = 0 % Wifi draw.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sidamos77:
It certainly has to do with the WiFi router somehow. I have 2 Unifi APs at home, which are being considered as semi-pro. But others have the same problem for example with TP-Link.

I added info about my WiFi to the 1st post.

For me:

Note 4 on Unifi AP, 5 GHz: 3%/hour

Note 4 on Unifi AP, 2.4 GHz: 3%/hour (<- not 100% sure, tested only one time)

Note 4 on Hotel WiFi, 2.4 GHz: 0.2%/hour

Note 4 on Work WiFi, 2.4 GHz: 0.2%/hour

Note 5 on Unifi AP, 5 GHz: 0.2%/hour

Mi Mix on Unifi AP, 5 GHz: 0.7%/hour

I will try switching off WiFi location scanning this evening.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sidamos77:
This is very good. You only lost 15% and you used the phone for more than an hour actively.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sidamos77:
Interesting would be the drain on WiFi in deep sleep. But I guess, you do not have the problem.

[MENTION=5802237]Desmanto[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for putting together this comprehensive analysis!

I can add: Pico GApps is not the solution, I always use those (when I need GApps).

Did you ever have a day with fully installed RR, where it did not drain on your WiFi? Because I had this once or twice. At least one time on AOSiP.

Today I tested the 2.4 GHz WiFi at work. No drain.

On the way home, I disabled WiFi location scanning (as suggested above), although I know that you already tried it. I also uninstalled a few apps that I do not need often. Some of them have been installed with Titanium Backup.

Now at home, I have a drain of only 1% in 3 hours! Also, my WiFi AP software shows that the phone is using WiFi power saving mode for the very first time. I did not even see that for the Note 4, although I suspect you have to leave the phone untouched for a longer time for that to happen. BTW, I have WiFi location scanning ON for all my Android devices usually.

I will later switch WiFi off and on and see what happens over night. Last night, I lost 20%.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] likhon02:
Hello I am planning to get a phone today around 200$ both mi a2 and lg G6 is under 200$ in my country.. which one should I get ?? I will use it mostly to watch YouTube, browsing and some lite GPS usage ..
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] apatrahil:
I believe G6's camera is far superior. Plus I've come to much appreciate the wide angle camera on the same device. If camera matters to you go for G6. I also think sooner or later, LG will provide update to Android P, too
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sun_is_shinning:
well, considering Mi A2 didnt have headphone jack, the camera is worse than G6, have less features, have Android One (wich personaly i didnt like, is boring) i think if you find G6 at same price or less, then you should go for G6 without thinkin...G6 at 200 is a damn of a deal. specialy with SD821, QHD display, great cameras, manual camera etc etc...i dont need to say anymore, i own it and is amazing you will like it better than Mi A2 for sure, i already play with A2 and is really a boring and the screen to body ratio is bigger in G6, A2 have too much bezels.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AsItLies:
Worse Camera? One has to wonder what criteria one is using...

The Mi A2 is getting fantastic reviews for it's advances in camera ability. It has pixel binning and a wide aperture on *both* rear lenses, which make for more light getting through to the sensor, which makes for better pictures in low light. It has portrait mode on both the rear and front cameras, but it's main feature is ability in low light.

I have a G6, like it. But have a Mi A2 arriving soon. The G6, unless you get one of the few versions that are unlockable, will not get updates in a timely manner or fairly soon, never.

The A2 on the other hand is just released, 2 yrs of promised OS updates, and 3 yrs of security updates (my G6 is on May security - the August security is already available for the A2).

The A2 is project treble enabled and unlockable (no questions asked, no code needed). And while some find Android One "boring", others of us find it fantastic; I'm a minimalist, I want to get the most out of the hardware as possible; that means running as little bloatware as I can.

Don't get me wrong, I like the G6. And will decide after some time which one I sell. But the Mi A2 is being hailed as a great phone for the price range.

Much depends on what your needs are of course. I prefer the aluminum unibody phones, with the 2.5D glass, they are more 'rounded' and easier to hold. And cameras with good low light are a very big plus... Where are most of the pics you take with your phone? Indoors with friends, maybe at night, that type of a thing. I don't walk around during daylight looking to take pictures with my phone, for that I have a sony mirroless camera with a lot of interchangeable lenses.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Melissakis:
The G6 is a higher tier phone. Much smaller yet with bigger screen, better display, better camera, faster, always on display. And if we are talking about the dual sim version, then there's also the quad DAC, for someone who wants to listen to music from a mobile device in the best possible quality.

Mi A1 is a great phone, I like it, but I don't think that it's a match for the G6. I like the Android One thing, but it was made with cost being one of the first priorities, G6 wasn't that much.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sun_is_shinning:
we are talking about Mi A2 here, not A1.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Melissakis:
My mistake, but things are even worse for the A2. Much bigger, no card slot, no FM radio (for someone who needs it),

A2 is the phone to get if the only priority is the pure Android and the updates.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AsItLies:

and the 2.5D glass

and the aluminum unibody rounded edges

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
$200 is a bargain for the LG.

Go for it, although you have to be aware that you are buying a model that is almost a year and a half old and therefore towards the end of support by LG

This doesn't take away from the enjoyment that you get from the phone, but you have to adjust your expectations.

As you can see from these forums there are many people "kvetching" (whining) about the delay or lack of updates.

For most people this isn't important but you have to decide for yourself.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sun_is_shinning:
Sure, this doesnt mean if the support ends for G6 the phone will be trash, it doesnt mean that...i dont why people bother so much for updates since you always waste time searching for it and then dont enjoy the true value of the phone, simple because you are obcessed with updates...

For the price you pay for G6 is a true value phone, you know what a high end looks like, even tho is from last year but high end will be high end forever because of the looks of it, and a midrange with stock will always be mid range with stock android.

And...i know for almost sure, G6 will have Android Pie next year, of course A2 will have it sooner or already have it (IDK) but for G6 is a must welcome update, SD821 with Pie will last at least for more one year or so, like you can go out with your phone until ends of 2019 or more.

Thats what im gonna to do with my G6, wait for Pie and use it for more 1 or 2 years...as for Mi A2 from today until 2 years will keep receiving updates but i dont see your Mi A2 last more than 2 years, Xiaomi always make new models and maybe Mi A2 will be out of updates sooner than people will expect.

I am not convincing anyone to buy this or that phone, they have the pros and cons like every phone, but the weight here is more to the G6 than to Mi A2.

G6 Pros vs Mi A2:

- Better camera

- Wide Angle camera

- Better video camera

- Headphone jack

- Look like a flagship

- Better screen to body ratio

- Better outdoor visibility

- Better SoC

- A little more battery

- IP68 Water and Dust resistant

Mi A2 Pros vs G6:

- IR Blaster

- Stock Android

- Thinner than G6

- Better loudspeaker quality

... i have G6, but i already put my hands on A2, bezels is too much and the top bezel makes the phone ugly, too light weight like you holding a paper not a phone, screen is nothing special, stock android (at least for me) didnt have taste, is like a salted water biccuit. But people chose what they gonna want, i only give my feedback upon my experience in both.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
I too am very happy with my G6.

The only open question at this point is reliability, given the bootloop problem that many LG manufactured phones have had.

Both my sons had Nexus 5x's and both died from bootloops within 2 years.

Hopefully the G6 won't suffer the same fate.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sun_is_shinning:
LG after beign sued because bootloops i think they already fix it since G5/V20 all phones since those is no more bootloop aware and if they do is people fault of flashing wrong things and do what they dont know what they doing, and even that way the bootloop by accident is easy fixed with Uppercut or LG UP.

LG fame of bootloops keep going i know but LG phones dont bootloop anymore i can guarantee you.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
Yes, that's what I read too, but it had definitely hurt LG's reputation and their competition with Samsung (even with the exploding Galaxy s7 LOL)

Hopefully I will retire it when the Lg G7 becomes a bargain!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Botivagyok:
I just bought A2 and sold the G6 after 1,5 year. If you are not a fashion phone user choose the A2 and be advanced user
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AsItLies:
I've had both phones, both are good, but you have to ask; What's most important for you? I like the G6 better because of the size. Ideally I'd have a Pixel 3, but not until the price comes down for me. I like the wide angle lens' on the G6 also. There are so many factors re phones, unlockable, roms, development, updates, etc etc.

what matters to you? that's the tough question.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pipos78:

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] jerronchua55:
Hi all, can anyone who owns the tablet check if your set has this issue as well? I'm using the Mediapad M5 Pro.

Basically on my set there is a problem with the touchscreen whereby when making small adjustments, changing directions with small movement will cause the touchscreen to hang and cause the touch input to jump a few pixels.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to figure if this is a hardware issue with my set or if its a software issue that affects all M5 Pro.

I have an inkling that this could be caused by palm rejection configuration of the tablet that is overly aggressive, causing the touchscreen to bug out as such.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] ronald_loulan:
My M5 Pro is having this issue too...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] lolmensch:
Afaik there is a threshold level when to recognize an input as a "tap" and when as a "swipe/movement"

We humans are too inaccurate so that one tap often contains a movement by accident. To cancel that out minor movements are still considered taps.

Would be interesting to see if it is the same on lineage OS. If it is,then the reason is probably palm rejection or some weird thing. If it's not the reason is most likely how Huawei calibrated it.

At least that's what I think without any proof
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] jerronchua55:
Good point, but the thing is the jitters still occur after I start to scroll the pages. Afaik, upon the very first contact against the digitizer the system should identify if its a tap or scroll input. Once a scroll input is identified, the consideration for tap input should be nullified.

In that case if we were to refer to the videos I shown, as soon as my finger taps the screen and starts scrolling, the digitizer should be relaying information to the phone that it is a scroll, there is no reason for the phone to think that I am still performing a tap after I have been scrolling around without lifting my finger off the screen.

Of course, I am no coding expert and what I am stating here is based on logic and my limited understanding of computer language. So my point is I still think it's a software bug that Huawei needs to address and as evident on their past phones (P20 Pro, Honor 9), it is not the first time bad touch firmware has been heard of on a Huawei device.

**Another point is that if you were to perform the same test but instead with the M-pen, the touch screen would work just fine. But stylus touch input runs differently from finger touch input, so I am not too sure about how to comment on this.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] lolmensch:
I agree with you. They managed to fix the emui touch bug though where two simultaneous inputs were denied after a short time. (also was / is on the p10 and other emui devices)

And that's why I was curious about lineage OS.

The pen works with a different digitizer though. So different production, drivers etc
