I was wondering if anyone has found a good portable wireless charge?

I might just take the risk and get either...

Wireless Portable Charger, Hokonui 10000mAh 10W

--OR--

No Branded - Wireless Portable Charger

Criteria

Battery Indicator

10W fast charge

Optional - flash light

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pntless:
FWIW, these will not charge the Pixel 3 at 10w. The Pixel 3 does not support qi fast charge; it uses a proprietary technology.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sieber101:
So just so you all know, slow wireless charging is like 300-500mah... The pixel charger is like 400-600. It's not that much of a difference other than what the phone says fast or slow.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
slow charging is actually better in this case: Less heat from induction.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoliosis:
Question for anyone using wireless charging. Those magnetic car phone holders need a metal plate on the back of the phone. Does that plate interfere with wireless charging for you guys?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sieber101:
I've read it does.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoliosis:
Just for data point purposes. I tried it in a BMW F80 M3 and the wireless charging works even with a Scosche metal plate in the back of the phone. It's the smaller plate.

Of course it charges "slowly" because it's not a Google charger. When are they releasing the patch to allow fast charging for other chargers? This plate chargers an iPhone X quickly, so it should have enough juice.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RagedElimanator:
I picked up the Hokonui wireless portable charger works great for wireless charging is honestly fine right now, I have a thick Pixel 2XL case which in turn means both my Pixel Stand and that portable power bank charge slow, I can update on that when I get a new case this month.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trident10:
aideaz 10k. wireless and PD.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Taomyn:
Only if the plate sits right over the charging coils - I have the Nillkin Magnetic Wireless In-Car Charger https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07CHKW7Q2 and it has a thin U-shaped metal plate that I have stuck to the inside of my Pixel 3 case. It holds pretty well and charges fast enough for my needs.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lionheartk:
Hello,

I have a T95N/T95X S905X P212 1GB/8GB Chinese box.

The newest stock firmware for it is "T95X Amlogic S905X 4K KODI 16.1 Preinstaled Android 6.0 TV BOX Firmware 20160921"

The "P212 MXQ Pro S905X T95X 1G Android TV Stripped" also work, and that's the one I'm currently using.

I've tried all LibreElec and CoreElec builds available for the S905X with all the DTB variants, putting them on the root of the stick and renaming to dtb.img as instructed, and they all have the same behavior: The boot logo (S905X logo) appears, then fades to black, then nothing.

I've left the box on for hours and nothing happens. The box doesn't connect itself to the network (Ethernet) so I can't ssh to it. I've tried to boot using 4 different SD cards and 5 different USB pendrives.

I did a cat /proc/device-tree/amlogic-dt-id to confirm which DTB the Android build was using and the result was:

gxl_p212_1g

But the corresponding dtb file from the repos doesn't work.

I dumped my dtb.img from the android firmware in the box using dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz and tested the extracted dtb.img, and when I put it on the USB stick it freezes on the boot logo, it doesn't even fades to black.

I've tried splitting it, since it's a multi DTB. Using the individual ones I still get the frozen boot logo, doesn't even progress to the black screen like the others. I'm attaching the original dumped file and the split ones.

The latest ARMBian, "Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_icewm_20171226.img", works ok but it gives me a lot of emmc errors on boot. I'm attaching the DMESG log as well.

I've tried all the DTB's included on the ARMBian image on LibreELEC and Core but they all go the black screen route.

Thanks for the help!

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sonic1675:
On 9.0.5 was getting around 8-9hrs SOT now it's down to around 6. Have erased cache in recovery and restarted. I shouldn't have to do a hard reset after every update so I don't know what the issue is. I haven't installed anything else and have the same settings on as I did before the update. I'm unrooted add well.I just curious if anyone else is experiencing a decrease in battery life quality after the 9.0.6 OTA?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] suzook:
I'm experiencing the same thing
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] omerbagi10:
Same, checked what is draining the battery but everything seems fine.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dbaric:
Same for me: after update SOT 6.5-7h, before around 9h. No root
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] STRUZZIN:
Mine was worse on 9.0.6 unlocked bl with magisk.

After that I used the MSM tool just to use it so I can learn.

After the MSM tool full restore battery was life was better.

I was also stock kernel and after the restore I put ElementalX.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sonic1675:
That's one of my points though, we shouldn't have to do a full restore every single time when taking an update
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] vulkhead:
Have anyone found solution to this problem? This thread is holding me back from purchase.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] felixrao:
9.0.6, drains fast...just wait for update
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sonic1675:
Honestly, the battery life is still ridiculous, still a no brainier to get this phone, even with this update, but no doubt they'll fix it in the next one, it's just a pain, I'm really wondering if anyone's found a fix, and waiting for the next update is going to be anoying, but patience is a virtue lol
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sruel3216:
Very true. I'm experiencing worse battery like but I'm still going 6+ hours sot and 30+ hours on a charge. It's like a Moto z play but flagship speed.

My idle drain is amazing still. Drops 2-3% in 8 hours if deep sleep. It's just seems to drain faster while screen is on.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Puddies:
Has this issue been fixed with 9.0.7?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hoevito:
There are no battery drain issues with this device.

If you're expereincing bad battery life, tweak your settings or put your brain to work and figure out why. Stop blaming it on the OS, as it should be common knowledge by now to understand that battery life is completely subjective to the user and their location and usage habits, so it will vary widely from user to user...it is what it is. This device is capable of astounding battery life, period.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] vhc:
I agree.

I have not experienced worse battery on 9.0.6 at all. What I have noticed is my usage has changed over time (honey moon period)

Perhaps your usages /locations have changed?

Switching from WiFi to celullars (especially outdoors when your removing about) make a big difference.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] STRUZZIN:
I agree the battery is great.

After being on 9.0.7 since release I feel its slightly better so far.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sonic1675:
See that's what I initially thought, but even with the 9.0.7 update, the fact is there is no usage difference at all on my part, no change of location, no change of settings, literally not a single thing different from the day before apart from the cache wipe. I have the exact same app usage and no major apps have been updated. For me personally I don't change my habits at all, and whether I or anyone else use any app 10 min more or less than the day before shouldn't make this big of a difference, especially such a drop. I'm not saying the battery life is bad after the update, don't get me wrong 6-7 hrs of SOT is amazing on any phone, i'm just pointing out that clearly then at this point it does in fact have something to do with a change in the OS right, especially if these minor differences in less then what I would give everyone's 5 most used apps they use daily are causing a 1-2hr drop in average SOT...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] vhc:
Fair point I guess.

I've never gotten 8 hrs SOT, 6 hrs at most and it's always been like that since day 1.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cmloo:
Does anyone have this problem ?

Connect IE via yr mobile EDGE service..for my case is Digi in Malaysia. The first few mins or pages..it works fine..Right after that IE cannot reach any pages and time out.. All the while the "E" for data services is still connected. Brought it back to HTC service centre...they tested 1 week , change 2 mother boards and swap one new unit...still the same issue..Its not sim issue as my connection does not break in other phones. Issue prevails in Google Maps, MSN Messenger and Shape Service IM+. If anyone knows a fix...pls help as I dunno what to do with an expensive phone that cannot sustain connection over EDGE or GPRS

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pdtp:
Have you flashed your rom to a different one other than stock? what about the radio, which version are you using, is it stock?

I would lean towards a radio issue or the edge service sucks.

i do know that on my older 8125 (wizard) that after about 3 days of being in constant connection i would get the same problem, but all i would have to do is disconnect form it and reconnect and it would be fine again for a long wile.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cmloo:
Hi pdpt,

Yes I have flashed to many ROM's and Radio including, Stock, Dutty's, Sleuth, Vega, No thrills, SNE, Alex while RADIO ROMS for WM6 and 6.1 including Nikki's , Polaris etc etc. Unfortunately all results the same. Have also tried manual connection setup, Kaiser Tweak (Edge always on) disabling the 3G portion, diabling HSDPA but those only saves batt drainag.

My previous Dopod 838Pro and the HTC Touch doesnt have this issue. Its only confined to Tytn II.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
You state you've flashed to many ROM's. Have you flashed back to a stock ROM from ATT or HTC? Can make all the difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cmloo:
yes of course i did flashed back to original. the new unit i got back was also stock
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pdtp:
well i dont know much about the edge service in Malaysia but before i say its borked try getting a new sim card. if that doesnt work im going to say that there might be something wrong with the unit itself esp if the sim card works in another phone and you can surf the internet with no problem.

What's up everyone. I have a SM-G9GOU1, Galaxy S9 US unlocked. I recently installed the beta update to 9.0 Pie with the new One UI by following the instructions here at XDA. Yesterday, I got the official stable update by downloading it at SamFirm application. I entered the properly CSC of my device which is XAA and installed the new firmware by Odin. The device is so much more smooth and stable now. So, my doubt is, will I continue receiving posterior OTA updates, or I need to flash the stock ROM which is a Oreo version? The firmware is official and the CSC matches. Thanks everyone for your attention. Every answer is helpful.
[General Questions and Answers] EEngineer:
I've got a nice new Android tablet, the Pro12 Marshmallow v6.0. Really enjoy this, but it shocks me that the device can be easily reset from Settings. Someone malicious (my brother?) might decide it would be "fun" to reset my tablet so I lose everything.

Is there a way I can password-protect the setting to reset my tablet? Or maybe a way to disable reset from settings (so if needed I'd reset my tablet from the recovery menu).

Thanks!!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raul77:
Hi Guys,

I am looking to use my Android Tablet to initiate phone calls on my phone. is there any app that does this?

For example, on my car, my car stereo links with my phone via BlueTooth and i can browse contacts and dial them from the car stereo where the call initiates from my phone. (so my own number is displayed when making the call)

I am looking for similar experience via tablet, I launch the app, see my contacts and click on a contact, phone dials their number !

The closest one i found was Mightytext which does this only on PC not on Tablet! I understand I can use hangout to dial from tablet, the issue with that is, I dont get my number.

Any help is appreciated.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] xanda-escuyer:
Our XT1762 (dual SIM) has a bug with Bluetooth connectivity to an in-car head unit/stereo system

The bug occurs with phone book/contact sharing. Here is the problem:-

i) When the device is initially paired or subsequently connected to the head unit, the address book/contacts are not automatically transferred even though this has been set in the phone.

ii) It becomes necessary to initiate the sync/transfer from the car head unit. When this happens, the whole process takes in excess of four minutes with the connection being lost several times during the process.

iii) When the sync/transfer is complete, the head unit shows every contact twice i.e. they are duplicated.

Also, when the head unit and phone reconnect e.g. when starting the car up, there is no sync/updated initiated. This has to be done again, but always from the car head unit.

This issue was not present when the device was new - it has only occurred in subsequent system updates.

The device has been reset to factory and rebooted several times but is 100% persistent.

Head unit is a CD450 in a Vauxhall Mokka.

Does anybody else have this issue? Thanks.

I have the two IMEI numbers that were original to my phone saved. After I flashed the crDrioid ROM the IMEI numbers got cleared from the phone.

Is there any way to add the IMEI numbers again permanently? It seems the Xposed method is the temporarily masking the number. Is there a way to write the IMEI numbers, so that it is not depending on an app/mod, and will still be there even after a factory reset.

Thanks.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Dhanu:
Just an update if anyone has suggestions. When I restored the backup of the stock ROM using TWRP, I got the IMEI numbers back. But as soon as I flash a custom ROM I lose the IMEIs.

The steps I followed.

Restored the backup of original stock ROM

verified the IMEIs

Booted to TWRP and did a wipe (system/data/cache)

Installed the Custom ROM (crDroid, ArrowOS)

Installed OpenGApps Pico

Rebooted into the system

Went through the config dialogs

Opened About Phone -> IMEI to verify the IMEIs
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] CYoung234:
Hi. Yes, if you can restore your original stock ROM and verify the IMEI numbers, you can then install TWRP, boot into it and make a Nandroid of the EFS partition. Then, after you install CRDroid, you can restore the Nndroid of the EFS partition, and you should be good to go. When you go into Backup on TWRP, you will need to scroll down a bit to find the EFS partition.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Yes, if you can restore your backup again and verify that the IMEI numbers are there, just install TWRP and take a backup of the EFS partition. You will need to scroll down a bit in the TWRP Backup screen, but it is there. Then, install CRDroid and restore the EFS partition. You should be good to go. Hang onto the EFS nandroid for the future...
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Dhanu:
Just wanted to make sure I got this correctly.

Backup (System/Data/Cache) of the current crDroid installation, using TWRP

Wipe

Restore the Stock ROM using TWRP

Back up EFS directory using TWRP

Wipe

Restore the crDroid backup and then restore the EFS backup

Is that it?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Dhanu:
I tried the above steps. Tooks a backup of EFS on stock ROM and restored it after flashing the custom ROM. Still no luck. IMEIs are still empty.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] CYoung234:
Did you verify that the IMEI's were there before you made the nandroid of the EFS partition? My understanding was that they are stored in that partition.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Dhanu:
Yes, I did verify that the IMEIs are shown in the Stock ROM before taking the backup. Do you know of anything else I could try?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] CYoung234:
No, not so far. I have been trying various things with my wifes phone after your reply. But I have not found anything that works yet. If you google it, you will find a bunch of stuff. I have tried a couple of them. So far, I have no problem with using my wifes phone without IMEI numbers, so I hesitate to try anything that might brick it. These Honor phones are a bit temperamental... My own Nexus 6p has a lot more tools available to deal with stuff like this.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Martinezio:

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Dhanu:

I'm not too familiar with the term unofficial build. If you don't mind can you please explain it?

Is it similar to a dev or beta build of an open source software? Latest features, but not fully tested?
