[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyoretsu:
Since yesterday my phone (Moto G5 rooted and with substratum themes on latest stock oreo) started not charging a significant amount overnight, as in I think it's actually lower than when I left it charging. There are A LOT of kworker processes under Android System, and GSam battery says its gonna take 47h to go from 20% to 100%. Here's the link for the Android OS Usage on GSam.

EDIT: It's shorter now, but still unusually long, 3h for 60%

EDIT2: at 49% now, it charged 10% in 35min, still 1h42 left for 100%

I wanted to start a new thread on a new piece of programming software that I recently purchased. I was looking for a programming language that was easy to use for beginners and experts. I own a Sprint HTC Touch and I wanted to make my own software to run on WM6. I have not completely messed with it but it sort of reminds me of MS Visual Basic with drag and drop and also code. If you want more info please follow this link: http://www.arianesoft.ca/page.php?1 . This software combines some of the most well known programming languages. I was hoping that there were other people who had and were also working with the same software and who had tips,tricks,source code and software using this programming software. I also forgot to mention that this software not only installs on you pc but also installs on you pocket pc so you can create software on the go. If there are any other languages out there like this please post. I hope this fits in this category. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Yes..this is a good language..i am familiar with it..it also lets you make Games....Visit their forums for sample apps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ~J~:
Been using PPL for a while now. Very good application and can actually produce some fast running apps.

Certainly wouldn't use it for a professional application, but for graphics/games, it's one of the best I've used.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Leechoonhwee:
Visual Studio have better compatibilities than PPL I think....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
But, PPL is very easy to use and costs a lot less.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
its funny but i even saw A_C's Post in their forum :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I have a copy of one of A_Cs S2U2 source code from the PPL forums!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ltf308:
The one thing I like about PPL over Visual Basic (although I like VB)is that the software installs on my HTC Touch so I can program on the go. VB unfortunately does not. But with the drag and drop it looks just like VB

I haven't found much on here about the BLU VIVO xi+, so I thought I’d start a discussion thread about it.

The BLU VIVO xi+

Basic specs from BLU's site:

MediaTek helio P60

2.0 GHz Octo-core

Gorilla Glass 3

19:9 Aspect ratio

1080x2246 resolution

128 GB storage

6GB RAM

Micro SD up to 128GB

Dual Cameras 16 mp + 5 mp

16 mp selfie cam

Face and Finger unlock

3050 mAh battery

Wireless Charging

Android 8.1 Oreo

Dual SIM US, Carriers

I love this phone. It's my first venture into the non carrier locked, non pay as you go phone. After spending nearly a week with it, I can honestly say I've have never had a better phone. Yes, I've owned some very crappy phones by comparison, so we'll get the disparaging remarks out of the way. I've read the reviews and people's negative comments, but I've also seen some very positive reviews and positive user reviews on YouTube. Those reviews and a promotional email from Amazon helped me pull the trigger on this phone.

I'll post again as I gain more experience with this phone.

BTW I checked for updates the day I got it and a 500+ MB file downloaded and installed. I kind of wish I had waited, it'd be nice to know what issues might have been fixed
[General Topics] polar2792:
Seems like a nice phone. I've been thinking hard about getting a couple of these for me and the wife. But, I've got a couple concerns/questions.

Can the bootloader be unlocked? Is this even going to help, I don't expect development to be a huge scene on this phone.

Is the screens scaling really as bad as the reviews seem? The icons on the launcher are huge!! As well as most other display elements.

Does it freeze-up? Seen one video on YouTube where it just freezes up and does nothing. Went on to say he's seen several others with this problem, I can't find anything.

Besides these above points it seems like an awesome device Blu support notwithstanding. Thanks in advance for reading. Hope you enjoy your device!

I'm happy with my purchase. I paid 300 at best buy. I'm using with att. It's runs smoothly in day to day operations including gaming. Wireless charging, facial recognition, 6.2 hd + screen, and fast charging is what sold me. No NFC though.
[General Topics] KingKelley:
worth every penny.....,have not found anything on projects on XI+ yet

I also have the 64GB from Best Buy. I havent had any real issues with the XI+, just remember to reboot every other day. It runs really smooth and quick. I saw the video on youtube about the glich and thats about the only negivative i have seen. Lets look it at this......

$300-350 phone v.s. $900-1000 phone

Vivo XI+ stayed up with the Samsung S9 loading and use of the same apps.

i have 130 different personal apps on this phone. From browsers to art pads to launchers to photo editors to TerrariumTV. NO GLICHING. But with all of that the battery could have been a lil stronger but it has a quick charging system and all of that going it still last bout 10 hrs!

I'm really enjoying the phone. I recently purchased it and had a question.

Test @ Xmas

I will attempt to flash Amazon version Firmware on best buy version Phone.

Ill try to post my results here if this thread is still alive after Christmas (or on another forum that is active and share the link).

My hopes are that it will help someone wanting to do the same.

Flashing an untested method is always a bad idea just before or during travels. Lets hope this does not brick my phone.

There is still a week to go to Xmas so I hope someone sees this before I try it and can offer some advice if it is a proven failed method. Thanks.
[General Topics] fcohen:
I would love to know if you succeeded or not!
[General Topics] Handymanpro:
cool, stay with me on this.

Thanks for the reply fcohen

Yes I will post here since there is activity now.

Im sure it will work since the hardware is the same on both devices. My only concern is the authentication file working universal on both devices.

Im currently overseas and will return the day before or on Christmas, so if it does work we can have an extra present on XDA for X-mas. I want pie update but not this Beta version (as too many features are missing), I want the full OTA release. I dont know if it is by build or per:serial number. I hope its easy. Either way its only after I rip a full backup.

rookie mistake

I've been lurking around here for a bit looking for a V0310WW root method, although nothing really popped up.

I goofed and flashed a different build number's recovery and boot onto my device, bricking it. I'm fixing it with the stock firmware and I'll be looking over a few methods over the holidays.

I'm pretty interested in rooting devices and the android kernel but I can't find any sources about how one can go about patching a the firmware themselves, generating binaries, etc. I'm sure it's an arduous process and I don't expect to learn everything overnight but would anyone able to point me in the right direction to learn more about the topic?

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Have you downloaded the corresponding download agent and authentication file for your build? If not I would look it up on google along with your build number. Look up 'hovatek thread-439' on google and look for the error codes you get.
[General Topics] bigbertha248:
STOP. IF YOU DONT KNOW EXACTLY THE RESULT BEFORE YOU DO IT, AND YOU NEED THE FONE, JUST STOP. don't risk bricking it for "experiments" if you need the fone. this stuff should at minimum be tested just on "extra" hardware... really folks
[General Topics] Handymanpro:
I've probably flashed about 100+ phones in my time (dont bother keeping count when repairing phones or swapping screens and touches).

With and without boxes and dongles / Odin / sp flash / from Samsung to LG to Blu to Korean Klones.

If I thought I would Hard brick it then surely I wouldn't even try unless I have another with same model, I also want a v0311ww but that will be after the price drops drastically as extra funware or I buy one soft bricked or with a cracked screen. All im worried about is if the DA+AuthFile work for both the v0311 and v0310. /// as far as root goes currently there is a root im aware of - but haven't done it to this particular phone *yet* ;) (Thank mrmazak *when* you have time) mrmazak has the DA+Author for the XL4 and XI+ with TWRP and some other stuff on the same page, when I download it ill surely hit thanks :good: :highfive: .

So yes I know exactly what im doing, just dont want to waste the time if someone already has done it. Ill post results when I finish, success or fail ill let ya all know. . At the airport now so ill edit this post with his post# *not digging to find it just yet, around Xmas vacation ill find some time to get to this project.

I do appreciate the concern. Though bigbertha. :good:

Extra note: as a phone repair man keep in mind I got this phone mint in the box unused for $100/ it is extra hardware, along with all the other Blu phones i have just sitting around.

If I recall its for the v0311ww (and only oreo but i could be wrong about that), should be the same, please read his entire post before doing anything. Remember Back It Up First!

*EDIT: before I forget as im about to flash when this file transfer and backup is done, ...

★Attention V0310ww with pie update has 2 sim card slots working properly and assigns the second IMEI to sim 2 that was removed from BestBuy version software. So sim hardware is there for using 2 Sims simultaneously on (cheaper) Best Buy version with the simple pie update.zip run from stock recovery.

V0311ww firmware.

I guess the files I have for stock firmware are corrupted. Does anyone have A Clean stock v0311ww firmware or source for that firmware? Thanks in advance.

* I'll dig a little deeper into this again tonight i think.

I may hop over to mrmazak's forum and see what I can read up on. If anyone has time to dig for a clean

Downloadable stock v0311ww original factoy version 8 Oreo before update release that would be awesome.

*Edit: Ok , I found a v0311ww firmware and flashed everything including preloader, except modem (md1rom.img) because of past experience with that , however it's still coming up with v0310ww firmware after flash and erase. It's possible the person who uploaded that v0311ww mistook the model number or firmware was confused on upload by that party.

*Edit: Still in need of a V0311ww stock firmware I think. Thanks in advance.

[General Topics] Handymanpro:
Is the phone off when you plug it in ?

*** "THIS IS NOT A GUIDE" ***

- nor am I even a smart person :

I suggest not flashing the modem (md1rom.img), I have an extra sim back in there and the signal and tower switching is much better on AT&T.

The phone should be off : press the download button on SP flash tool on your PC ~ then hold only the Volume down button on your phone and plug in the USB cable. The bottom of spflash should flash red, and your phone screen will be all Black no wording. let go of the volume down button and don't touch anything until u get a big happy check mark saying done.

Use mrmazak's forum page to get the mt6771 scatter for xi+ and the authorization file (i compared this scatter with 2 other scatter files and other than a single size difference in the preloader 4 vs 8, there wasn't any difference except the file names are in place on mrmazak's vs the broken scatter in the actual firmware folder , also a couple true vs false on the Isdownload)

I downloaded my own spflash tool (same version of spflash spflash tool on mrmazak's forum only his zip file was broken) I couldn't get my updated version of SP flashtool to work the same so I got the version he was using and it went smoothly.

I extracted the DA and Auth file directly into spflash folder and scatter directly into the firmware folder.

*Make sure u select the mt6771 android scatter file and select the patched DA (Download Agent) for mtk

I also used the authorization file (didn't even try without it).

Before you flash just look over to the file names for the partitions and verify you are in the correct folder for the firmware and verify the check marks on the left to see what partitions you actually want to flash.

I always have multiple firmware folders all over so I always triple check that 100% I'm in the correct folder.

If your returning from Pie 9 I'm almost 100% positive you need to flash preloader to avoid bootloops, but don't take my word for it ,

just sharing my experience, follow the Proven Guides and read them 3+ times if you need to.

anybody who has blu vivo xi+ on stock rom interested on acquiring root access via magisk??
[General Topics] Handymanpro:
I don't know really, it could be that you lost your message center number, just Google SMSC Number for your service carriers like Sprint, AT&T and Verizon have their own Central Message numbers., It's easy to do and at least worth a shot. I know mine takes about 2 or 3 min to start working after I set the SMSC., So give it a few moments to sync or verify or whatever.

Question back to you, ChiknWhispr, are you on Android 8 or upgraded to Pie 9?

Have you backed up your firmware yet? Can I get a copy of the Amazon version Firmware either 8 or 9 from you? Thanks either way.

After returning to stock v0310ww ~ 8.1.04.04

Ive noticed high battery drain on this device after roll back to Orig Stock Firmware,

im curious if the verizon update also has mods for the battery drain,

i did notice feeling much faster battery drain than with the pie update as well.

With Pie 9 on a normal day with very minimal use it would drain about 5% To 10% over 6 or 8 hours.

with stock Oreo 8 im getting better signal and faster switching over, still minimal use - but with about 11% or 12% over about 4 hours.

Will install Verizon update most likely , then see if it helps after that update. I didnt ever notice the drain that high with the verizon update either.

*same battery drain with verizon update.

*going back to pie beta update but will

push adb permissions

for

system ui tuner

and see what i can break. Its for whatever reason blocked on the XI+ but still has minimal adjustments like remove battery icon or remove clock. I also want to see if i can get the screen notch switchable on pie as well because its missing in beta.

***Comparing Panasonic Eluga X1 Pro Firmware Oreo (obviously larger file at 1.88gb),, to v0310ww firmware
[General Topics] elcio.jr:
I think the only way to us will be wait for someone post the final version of the PIE.

The BLU support is terrible, they dont answer nothing correct. And since you return to 8 with no sucess to upgrade via OTA to 9 I will not do that either.

I like the device (I use as a second phone) but the support and updates are terrible. Ok, I know it is a cheap device, but even cheap devices, like the Xiaomi Note 7, has better support.
[General Topics] Handymanpro:
I agree, but xiaomi i think used a different modem and cameras and possibly an alt digitizer, its also possible they used other hardware for other things in the phones too.

I compared most of the MT6771 chipped phones and the panasonic was the closest inside, pretty sure its the same phone just branded Panasonic and has panasonic modded firmware (with that panasonic AI-widget thing they included). Mostly curious what was disabled or left enabled in the panasonic version of Oreo., it is an India region phone and talking with those university guys and girls , they sure do play a lot with ROMS and Kernels and find some cool Bugs - so it could be locked down tighter than the Blu XI+.

I spoke to Blu about 3days ago, Official Pie 9 release is out already for v0311ww. ,, the 64GB version is (as the rep said) on the way for v0310ww but not released yet - but its coming so kindly wait.

"Like what? First quarter of 2019?"

Or when everyone has already put the XI+ away in a drawer for retirement

If i can

just get my hands on an authentic v0311ww firmware Oreo or Pie at this pont (not one that just says v0311ww on the zip file and when you dig inside its actually a v0310ww wwr-mtk rip)

Would not be the first mediatek or Blu phone to get firmware from another model.

****update : Panasonic has same scatter only partition sizes and addresses are not the same for SYS39 through SYS42, also almost everything is an Image (.img) file and paired with a -verified file Except those partitions ( 39=userdata 40=otp 41=flashinfo 42=sgpt ) , installed-files.txt and vendor files there too. *ill dig and extract more when I have time. Seems to be more hassle than its worth - it is Panasonic's version of the XI+
[General Topics] elcio.jr:
But the Panasonic "version" still in Android 8 too....

You think still worth trying it?
[General Topics] Handymanpro:
I was thinking a variety of things, flashing Panasonic's full firmware over blu firmware is not part of that variety.

when im ready to trash this phone then maybe do it just out of curiosity. But I want to make it a gift to a friend when I travel back overseas ( if I can get full pie on it.)

Pie 9 *04.04 (v0310ww) OTA update

I guess it was released before the last time I called, don't know why they wouldn't just tell me that on the last call.

Spoke to blu again, they said since the end of 2019 pie 9 (not beta) for V0310WW is available for pre Verizon update phones. (8.1.04.04) , you MUST call to contact the software team and register your phone for pie update -before the Verizon update-, you should then receive the pie OTA update notification.

I'll flash back to 8 stock again when I've got free time then call again.

Hopefully its all correct information the blu representative gave me, he sounded more knowledgeable then the last rep I spoke to.
