Hello everbody, I am a proud owner of a P20 Pro since a week.

I want to know what is the thing in the notch, left to the camera, I guess it is a speaker. It got some white dirt so I wanted to know the best method to clear it coz it just looks uggly now :(

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Horayken:
Since is a waterproof phone u can use a drop of water and try to clean using a small brush ( not a harden one) then use a bit more of water to finish. but don't push too hard to avoid damage the speaker. Do not use air compressed or vacuum, that will harm the speaker.

Any help pls !?

TnkU.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sp_Ark:
It's because for eu countries is set to 72 at the mixerpath.xml file in system folder. There is no way to edit it and save it with root. After reboot it reverts back to stock values. But there is a working magisk module that sets the values to 88. It's working great but of course you'll need magisk. You will find it under themes apps mods section

Hi, there are also other modules in different posts in this thread? We need only that in first post?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sp_Ark:
Don't know I just used the op one. If I remember correctly the others are for the video recording audio. Just ask@the thread and wait for op to reply. Also for those who need BT volume increase, you can kindly request that at the same thread. Generally it's pretty easy to edit values of you have root. The file is located under system vendor etc and it's called mixerpaths. But on mi A2 for some strange reason every edit can't be saved. Read somewhere about changing selinux to permissive can fix that but even when I tried selinux was automatically reverting back to enforcing after a while. So magisk is the only way for now. BTW I just installed PE today and of course I can easily edit the audio values. And compared to stock pie, it's miles ahead. Very smooth no lags, as stock should have been

Can someone please open an issue on the Google issue tracker for headphones volume so we can support it

The bug exists since November update still not fixed in January update
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Conundrum68:
This is what actually worked...

I tried changing the AVRCD version to 1.6, 1.3, etc. and went into developer options and Disabled absolute volume.

Neither of these helped me (Galaxy Note 8 on Pie).

What DID help was this:

Go into Audio options, then Advanced sound settings, and Sound Quality and Effects.

There you will find the Equalizer (hopefully you can find this on AOSP).

Bump all the sliders to the top (+10dB)

(10dB is 2x volume).

EDIT: Came across this video:

https://youtu.be/PL8Ci-SpACQ

This guy figured it out. I confirmed this works.

I did do the above steps as well but I don't know if they are necessary. The items in the video are what finally did the trick.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] testwe4:
Hi, will installing TWRP or rooting stop my phone from receiving OTA Updates ? Answer would be very appreciated :D

My device : Moto X4 (XT1900-7 reteu)
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Comby_sk:
Yes. But there is way to install OTA from adb sideload.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] testwe4:
If that's true I prefer staying on stock, since that phone has a lot of power into it. Thanks for your answer though ! :)
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] oz42:
I used TWRP to install Magisk, but I did not flash TWRP and got one OTA update for my reteu 8.0 device.
[G3 General] mgw2015:
Since for quiet some time I've tried several methods described here in the forums and elsewhere, I though it is worthwhile to log the one that really worked:

First of all you need to follow the installation instructions.

Second, I'd recommend to refrain from all the Windows-based tools or most of the Android apps (for the exception used here see below). You should also be aware that it is not necessary to flash a new KDZ as several people are suggesting here in the forums, nor is it necessary to update the firmware on your stock device upfront.

Third, it's always a good idea to backup the device (in case something goes wrong) and foremost your data (to be reused on the updated device, since the update will destroy all your data).

You'll need to perform the following steps:

A fix for the radio/modem can be obtained on XDA. I used version 21C which is the latest version that works from Android 5.X upwards.

Install/flash TWRP using Autorec from [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION]. I recommend to follow this instruction. All other variants/suggestions did not work for me.

Copy the necessary files to your device using adb (radio fix, latest LineageOS, GApps nano in my case)

First install RADIO_D855_21C... then follow the steps starting at "Installing LineageOS from recovery" in the official installation instructions.
​

Hope this helps -mgw

My device was originally with Malaysia firmware, installed the latest Indian Firmware so Jio Volte could be used.

I am getting volte symbol on the status bar however there is no volte related settings in the settings menu.

Also I notice the Internet is very slow most the time, if I enable flight mode and disable then the Internet will get a boost for a minute then back to slow connection.

Checked the sim in other phones, no issues. Anyone else has this problem? Any solutions....

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shumilica:
Hello to everyone in this great and very very very big forum.

I just bought (1 week ago) a tytn from somebody. It looked very ok, the software was good when i tested it when i bought it but...

The phone went off in no time (I didn't noticed this when i bought it) like 3-5 hours.

I installed acbPowerMeter and BatteryStatus and something VERY STRANGE happens:

with wi-fi OFF it consumes something like 350mAh (not 35, but 350!!)

with wi-fi ON it consumes something like 150mAh (I have to be connected to a network to consume like this)

When i put it in stand-by it consumes something like 100mAh (but it can consume even 300mAh in stand-by).

This consumption i told you is with the phone OFF! with it on it consumes something like the same or less.

I want to ask you: is there anything that i could do (software change...) or is a hardware issue? Because it is obvious this was the reason he sold it and i think he tried many things too... (now he doesn't answer his phone, of course)

Details for my tytn:

ROM version: Schap's 4.31 (WM 6.1 I think)

ROM date: 10/03/2007

Radio version: 1.47.30.10

Protocol version: 32.80.7020.20W

ModelNo: HERM200

Clue:

He said he sails it because he wants tytn II and that the wireless connection drops now and then (he said 1 time in 2-3 hours) and i said ok no problem for me (he used it like a wi-fi card for his laptop)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shumilica:
No reply from you too? :p

Oh well... I think I have a curse for second hand things...

Ontopic:

The phone heats very very strong and after a call it consumes much memory even with wi-fi on. Turnin the phone off doesn't resolve the problem.

I'm thinking on hard-reseting the device to see if it is from the ROM (it will be back with win mobile 5, no?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bensat:
Hahahha. Welcome to the TyTn club.....

The power consumption is the problem with all the Windows Mobile phones I have tested. I have tested about 15 different phones for my work.

HTC is probably the best for power consumption. Why, I think because you can disable WiFi, HSDPA and BT and IR. Then you can work for more than 50 hours with you're same phone!

Have FUN with you're phone.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shumilica:
Thanks for the reply but read carrefully:

When Wi-fi is TURNED ON it consumes LESS!!

This is very unusual. And the power consumption for 300-to 400 mAh when i don't do nothing... the word huge is little word for the comparison.

if i have at least 20 hours of stand by i would be very pleased about this ppc... but i don't go more than 5 hours...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pvs:
Hi shumilica, and welcome to the world of winmo.

Power consumption has always been incredible on my Hermes, which I've owned for about a year and a half. Of course, my device is on an unlimited plan, and it checks 5 email boxes, 4 of them every 30 minutes, and the other on push. It also updates weather in 4 cities every 30 minutes, and downloads newsgroups once a day.

Left on its own, my battery will die in about 3 hours. That is why I have 2 batteries, a docking/charging station at each of my desktops at work and at home, a charger on my nightstand, and one in my car. :) These things need a lot of fuel to run.

I can't comment on your strange findings with wifi ... are you sure you trust the numbers being reported? Does your battery life REALLY improve when wifi is on? Or is it just that the numbers being reported are higher? I'd question the software you're using to generate these reports.

As for hard-resetting ... no, it will NOT return you to a previous ROM. That's not how it works.

Hope this helps,

-pvs
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dk2019:
wow my tytn saves me a whole lot of power compared to yours mine uses between 30 and 52mA with wifi off with wifi on it uses 150 to 400mA but before i updated the rom to wm6.1 it was useing a whole lot more try updating the rom but save all your files
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
To the OP, FIRST backup all your stuff then try flashing a STANDARD WM6 ROM to the device...such as the HTC official WM6 ROM.

Do a test with the power meter app and see what happens.

Come back to us with your findings. Im doing some tests of my own at the moment to see if the battery status is updating correctly in my ROM (i use the one that displays the battery % in the graphic).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alkizmo:
also use a taskmanager to see if there's anything using a LOT of processing power all the time (CPU)

My phone is only GSM only, with specified bands(so, not in auto mode), and uses less than 90mAh with the backlight turned on, on the today screen.

WM6.0 & Radio 1.47.30 by the way, best in my experience for battery consumption and stability of voice calls. My apartment gets this really crappy antenna and it's a REALLY good stress test for radio versions. A GOOD radio will be able to hold an understandable voice call. An average radio and sub-par radio will have a lot of hiccups :p

hey guys,

i wantet to post the same problem! its my second tytn (first went swimming ...) and this new one (buyed second hand too) has the same problem but i just noticed it is runnig very hot and empty within 3 hours(just in standby). Now i checked with acbmeter (without anything runnig any apps) avg. 350 mAh, with wifi on 84mAh and its quied cooler. My last tytn runs a whole weekend, without charging. I am new with this whole flashing thing where i can get this radio 1.47.30?

regards

FFKangoroo
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] camelush:
hy guys,

i have the same problem...

WiFI ---> ON consumption 25-50 mA

WiFI ---> OFF consumption 280-320 mA

no mather if GSM is on or off

ROM : Schap's 3.54b

Radio : 1.41.00.10

Protocol : 32.74.7020.18H
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sh500:
Did you ever get around to doing tests on this? I have a feeling that my battery meter is actually reading incorrectly (as opposed to the battery loosing that much power). I say this as I have seen a number of times, as an example, battery at 60% would drop to about 20-30% after only a 15-20min voice call. Also, after soft-resetting the device the battery meter would increase to about 20% more than before the soft-reset.

I'm definitely a converted user of WM devices- been about 4 years and love them but this Hermes is really testing my patience with battery life!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shumilica:
I have to tell you what happened with my tytn:

I changed the ROM but still no change, the back cover was heating and the battery was out in something like 5-6 hours top. But one time, i don't know why, after it drained, i kept it off and wihout battery a week or something and I puted the battery back and NO MORE battery draining... two days of stand-by (without sim) and was at 90%. I shut it down and reopened (or putet in the charge, I don't remember very well) and again it started again... After that I tried a lot of different combination: drained the battery, pulled out the battery for 1-2 days, charged it with the tytn closed etc. etc. And after some more drainings... IT STOPPED... so after this my tytn didn't drain the battery anymore so quickly, no more heat in the back cover (from the battery)... and i tested it: i closed it, reopened, charge it for a momement, put a sim in it, speak with it etc.

I think it helped that i had bluetooth always on... but i don't know for sure... so... try keeping bluetooth on (put it always on from the settings), the tytn will drain the battery, charge it with it closed, open it and the bluetooth will be still opened and maybe it will work... or maybe it was from the fact that i trow it many times in my bed :D So...

I tested it for 3 days with no problem and after that i sold it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] camelush:
i my cause not function...another solutions?...recomands?....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
After having a think I bought a new battery and it WAS a dodgy battery. The new battery isnt an extended one (it is 1500mAh instead of 1350mAh but thats the only difference).

The device will sit there nicely for days before needing a charge, depending on if i use it alot or not, push email is on and i tend to get atleast 10 emails a day, several calls etc...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sh500:
Perhaps something I may have to try too- I've have to turn off direct push and schedule emails (exchange and personal) to two hours and the battery life is still poor.

Will look into a new battery to see if that helps. I've had my device coming up to two years now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Yes mine is almost 2 years old, I bought it around July/August 2006 when they first came out.

The battery I bought on ebay is HERE. The guy delivered it VERY quick (im in the UK).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] camelush:
i've charged it completely, it obviously got really hot. usually at this point, i would take out the battery and let it cool off before turning the phone on, otherwise it would get even hotter and eat 300+ mA and drain the battery fast. this time i opened the wi-fi connection and immediately the battery status dropped from 332 mA to 130, and stayed down there. the phone even cooled down a bit. after i've turned off the wi-fi, it started draining and heating again. what can i do? is it a software or hardware problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] galaxys:
U can try flashing one of the more current cooked roms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] camelush:
yep i flashing all the coocked roms found this huge forum and....same problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sh500:
Oh I was actually going to ask if the auction site ones were ok to go with. I'm also in the UK so will probably get one. Will report back on consumption.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] armedmetallica:
I wanted to make sure -- is this exactly as description says -- equivalent to regular battery. That is -- no extra bulge? I need to be able to use my current case.

thanks!!
