Stock Pie here, latest security, just rooted with TWRP.

Get about 2.5 with mixed media and gaming and little gaming I can get about 3.5 hours SOT. Just got the phone about two weeks ago, coming from a 6P. Accubattery shows 71 battery health.

It's not too bad but not that great either. Personally it gets me through work and back home and it charges very fast using the 6P charger even when gaming.

I wish the battery was better, other than that I LOVE my Pixel XL!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ylapas:
Stock Pie, not touched, not modified, not rooted. Perfectly happy with battery life so far, up to 8 h. SOT, up to 1 day of moderate usage.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wazza1991:
Can you share some more details regarding what apps you have used, was it on WiFi full time and the brightness of the display?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] LeMoise:
8h SOT seems pretty crazy for a 2 year old device but I can see it. Mine usually gets upwards of 5-6 depending on what games I'm playing on it etc. Mind you I'm rooted with a custom kernel installed. Either way I am still very much impressed with the Pixels battery life.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ylapas:
Well, in my case is totally possible as the one in my hands is only two months old :D
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] snappycg1996:
Sorry to say, but are you sure you didn't charge your phone to 90 percent and unplug it a few times? That doesn't reset SOT.

Hard to believe that my phone is still bate minimun, stock Pie and can barely squeeze 3.5 hours SOT out of it at 72 percent battery health.

There are legit nothing keeping my phone awake either. I use gsam and BetterBatteryStats.

There is no way you're getting 8 hours SOT on a two year old devices, when even the Note 9 isn't getting anywhere near that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ylapas:
As I have mentioned before, the one in my hands is brand new, born from Pie. So I am holding barely 2 months old device, far away from two years and it easily last from morning till next morning. 8 hours of SOT is possible depending on usage, double checked. Even GSM arena test says it's holding 11 hours of video playback. Moderate usage, dark themes in every possible app, some YouTube, Facebook, Google Play Music, browsing, on WiFi almost 24 /7, up to 30 min calling per day. But no gaming at all.

My first screen shot may be a bit confusing one as I unplugged my device from charger while taking it and posting. 5 h SOT, half juice left, but it will go a bit faster now, never exceed 8 hours here. If you are using if for processor intensive task I agree 4-5 hours will be most what you'll get.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ylapas:
Stats at this moment.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lachiefish:
How do you guys get such crazy battery life?! I'm lucky to scrape in an hour of screen on time! And that's just using it to look at Facebook and Snapchat here and there.

AccuBattery Pro stats
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kinfolk248:
Custom pie rom here. I usually average about 5 hrs sot. Sometimes if im just texting and light browsing I'll get to 3 hrs at 50% but no matter what else i do it magically ends at about 5 hrs even when Im on track for 6. Now if I start using snapchat, youtube, camera the battery drops like a rock and I'll show only 3.5 maybe 4 hours. this is with LTE, not much wifi, but that doesnt seem to alter the outcome much one way or another.

Oh and share, Im getting 1 less with pie compared to oreo. Someone in another thread tried to tell me it was just me and my phone but looks like thread everywhere show pie is a battery bogger.

What's a good app to measure battery health
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Maskucing:
hi I'm actually xda passive user from 2011, since then I always using sony devices (xperia arc, xperia SP, xperia Z2 xperia XA2 Ultra, XZ Premium) but this is my first time to have an account and be active user. My pixel XL using custom pie rom (liquid remix) and kingkernel by KingBri, Blu_Schedutil gov can least up to 4.5-5hours SOT in 30% LTE and 70% wifi moderate use (WA,IG,Youtube,Chrome) but it can drop to 3-4hours SoT when I'm gaming PUBGM for total 1hour. I think thats good remind I bought second hand Pixel XL in Indonesia just about less than 2 weeks ago. sorry no screenshot because I forgot to capture it when still in liwuid remix and now I'm in BootLeggerROM 3.5 Pie and wanna test the differences. Thank you :good::good:

Yeah. I charge once a day, my battery normally ends up about 20% by end of day. Usually like 3 hours 25 minutes or so on average SOT

The phone keeps changing its name to judyln every 2 days after i rename it. Any fix?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterlight:
Hey there. I found a bit old phone in my house, Huawei G730-U10 with MTK6582. Here's problem:

Phone won't turn on at all (no reaction) with battery in and USB out.

With battery in and USB in (connected to charger or PC, no matter what), at first it turns on red led that stays still, and after some time it starts vibrating with interval of about 10 seconds and PC sees it for 2 secs (it connects and after 2 secs - disconnects), then everything repeats. I assume it's bootlooping, but there's no anything on screen (it doesn't even turn on, full darkness). This continues even after taking out USB, only way to stop it - take out battery and place it back.

With battery out and USB in, red led starts blinking with very quiet beeping (very very very quiet).

As you could guess - recovery, fastboot and other things aren't working.

I've checked main board, everything is ok, connected and working fine.

I think there's problem in ROM (not firmware ROM, but ROM that's read-only memory). Something's wrong, maybe there's wrong preloader (or there's no preloader at all), maybe boot partition is damaged, I don't know.

Service center tried to fool me on buying new board for 100$ (althrough it costs 40 on aliexpress), I think they didn't even look at it, so I can't trust them.

I don't need suggestions like "try to flash new rom", you think I didn't try? How is this possible if I can't make PC to see phone for more than 2 secs? Flashtool isn't working even without battery mode.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lenknermj:
Hi all,

I have a 8125 (Wizard) that I bought used with a broken LCD - I replaced the LCD with hopes of having a functional phone, but I'm not quite there...

It WAS working as a nice little PDA for a while, with the newest Cingular ROM (2.25 I believe). HOwever, I received absolutely NO signal on the radio - the little animation just constantly went like it was forever searching.

So, in my newfound expertise in flashing HTC devices, I decided to flash this to a different ROM. First, I tried the one they call Button 1.05. No bones - it'd drop connection before even going to the tri-color.

Next, I tried the SlimEdition 2.2b of WM6 (I wanted to put WM6 on it anyway, and with this old of a phone, I'm keeping away from excessive gadgets). Same deal as the Button 1.05.

On to the Faria WM6 I found in another forum. This one didn't even find my phone.

Before suggesting I try doing the flashes more than 1 time, I did.. I've been trying to flash this thing for over a month...

Additionally (and probably part of the problem), when I connect the phone to my mini-USB (no, not HTC OEM) it establishes connection about 1/3 of the time....the rest of the time I get a "USB Device not Recognized" warning from XP - I then disconnect it and reconnect it until AS4.5 sees it.

Most recently, I tried putting the Button 1.05 on again, and actually made progress...sorta...

Once I got the RUU running, I actually got it to progress to 2% before the RUU declared a connection failure. Stuck in the RUU screen, I tried all the ROM's I have on this thing, and none get past 2%.

So, NOW, I have an 8125 that's stuck in the RUU screen. I dont know what I can try next, or what might be the problem - however, if anyone knows or has spare parts they're willing to donate to science (I can afford to pay the shipping - that's about it) then I would be most grateful. My initial thoughts are bad USB port or mainboard, but I haven't a clue where to get them.

Alternatively, if I dont hear from anyone soon with good news, I will be offereing for sale 1 hardly used LCD/Digitizer combo for what I paid for it. (approx $45 USD).

Summary (long post, eh?):

1> Can I get out of the tri-color RUU screen, or did it getting to 2% and then dying effectively brick this phone?

2> Anyone have suggestions on what to replace to prevent AS4.5 (or even Windows) from misdetecting the phone when connected via USB?

3> Anyone have parts for above-mentioned repairs/replacements? I'd be most grateful....

TIA!

Follow up - next day (yes, next day)....

Apparently, the Forum Gods were watching over me as I spewed about my flashing issues......

I tried flashing it one more time, using the Slim v2 WM6 ROM....wouldn't ya know, the sunnovabatch worked....

Dunno why or what I did differently, but I dont want anyone pounding their heads trying to find an answer for this....

(I'll still take any donor phones, though...this one is 'better', but still not 'great')

Well, I've never replaced one myself, but it looks like it's just a few solder joints....

Can anyone confirm this? I dont want to mislead you by saying it's easy, in case it just looks easy, and really isn't.....

Also, I think I saw a thread elsewhere where someone had a bunch of the USB connectors that (s)he was selling....search here first - I'm pretty sure it'll be a better deal than you'll find on fleabay....

I forgot to do the Frankenstein method.

So do the Frankenstein method.

Hello there, this is my first thread on this site. So if anything is wrong with this thread, please let me know.

So, I recently got a LG V30 US996 from Verizon.

I was looking to root it and found this thread here and was following the steps.

I would like to say that this is my first time rooting a phone. So please pardon my ignorance on this subject.

At the point where you go into the developer options and turn on "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging", I went to go turn them on and found "USB Debugging" but not "OEM Unlock".

Does anyone know if I did something wrong?

Is this because of Verizon?

If anyone has information on this problem or about rooting my device, please comment below.

Here is some information about the phone (Not sure if this is helpful but might as well add it):

Model Number: VS996.

Hardware Version: Rev.1.0

Android Version: 8.0.0

Android Security Patch Level: September 1, 2018

Kernel Version: 4.4.78-pref+ lge@android-build

I have the Pixel 3 XL, and I have a frustrating issue. When the screen is on the lockscreen, using Google Assistant to call someone, read emails, or read messages doesn't seem to work properly. It will try to call, but nothing happens, and it will display my messages but not read them. If I go to the homescreen and repeat, everything works. This also happens on the lockscreen with smart lock enabled. I verified that voice match and lock screen personal results are both enabled.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
After flashing the latest global stable miui 10 ROM on mi max 3, I can't flash tarp without bootloop or stuck on mi logo. My device is Chinese version and before installing global stable miui 10, I flashed twrp successfully. Now I can't even flash eu ROM, it just sticks on mi logo. I tried with magisk, but unlucky. Anyone have the same experience? At last my decision is, this version of miui is the culprit, though I m not sure!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] mierlo420:
Can you give a bit more information?

What steps did you take and in which order?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
Every possible order.

1st, flashed twrp/s

2. Formatted data, because it asked for password to decrypt

3. Mount every possible partition

4. Wipe all without 'system'

5. Flash eu ROM

6. And it stucks on boot.

And only possible sollution after this stuck for me is, to flash again a fastboot ROM. No recovery ROM at this stage gains a successful boot.

Note: I have to flash several times my phone fastboot ROM to recover phone and try again again. No success. Every time I try it starts from decrypt data option and stuck on boot. Even I tried with flashing magisk also, after flashing eu ROM. But no luck.

At a point I found 'reset phone' option and gboard has stopped bug, but whenever I try to reset, it goes to twrp.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Because global stable and TWRP don't work together. Have you seen anyone root global stable? I haven't. This is why global is not as versatile compared to xiaomi.eu roms.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
But, am i now stuck with no option for twrp or even no option to flash any custom rom like eu roms?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Did you try twrp app? Just as a test. Also try magisk app to install magisk to see if it helps. When we were testing Resurrected kernel, magisk was needed to get past boot screen. None if this is proven to work, but just trying to see if it helps.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
Yes, tried official twrp. Even tried official twrp with magisk. In both case it stuck with booting screen/mi logo. No luck.

Edit: my all tries are: twrp+reboot / twrp+eu rom+magisk+reboot / twrp+lagzyflasher+reboot..

All the combinations resulted in a bootloop/ stuck in mi logo. In every time the only work around to past the boot screen is to flash again a fastboot rom. Only that time it successfully boots.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
When you flash TWRP, you can boot to twrp or no? If you can, then it's when you flash an eu rom where you get stuck? Are you factory resetting before flashing eu rom?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
Yes, i can boot to twrp. And always reset to factory/wipe everything before and after flashing eu rom. As i edited my comment above, with just twrp+magisk+reset+reboot / twrp+reset+eurom+magisk+reset+boot every times it gets stuck on reboot after flash.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Who told you to reset after flashing? That's why you're having issues. Don't reset after eu or magisk.

Twrp - factory reset - eu rom - reboot. That's it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
Oh, no. After Flashing just wiped delvic and cache. It was adviced somewhere.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
But, sure, i m trying again with this plain instruction. Thanks a lot. Though i m sure, i did this plain combination before with no luck. Before flashing global stayble i have flashed eu roms and twrp several times with no trouble.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Wiping cache and dalvik cache are not the same as reset. They shouldn't cause any problems. Regardless, try without wiping them.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] :
just tried with your plain instruction. it again stuck with mi logo. :)

edit: i can reboot to recovery easily.

Thats not normal

Install chinese rom via fastboot.

Then boot activare debuging usb and oem unlock with your mi account setup

Flash twrp

Format data on wipe section

Reboot twrp

Go wipes and wipe all and factory reset

Install eu rom

Reboot system

And if you want install magisk install it after reboot original rom with no root because if not. dont boot

I've actually read that this will be an option moving forward. From the lockscreen without unlocking the phone. If you've been able to use assistant without unlocking the phone, this is news to me.

Ok my wife just got home and I tried it on her Pixel with the same result. Guess it is a feature now...which I think sucks.

Why would the assistant show me my messages but not read them aloud from the lockscreen? That makes no sense.

Yeah. Doesn't make sense that it shows your notifications, but won't read them. I would not mind it if was enabled with Smart Lock. Like if my watch is paired, then it will read everything like before.

Google Assistant still won't let me do calls, nor will it open apps from the lockscreen.

It recognizes the command just fine saying "calling person xy" but it won't do anything at all. Same with opening apps. For example if I ask it to open Spotify it says "opening Spotify" but nothing happens.

If it's by design, why wouldn't it tell me that a proper unlock is required?

It seems to me that this is more likely a bug than by design?!
