[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjdandy:
yes IMEIs are correct sir

I am on the latest marshmellow build (WW_ZE551ML_4.21.40.352_20170623)

IFWI version: 0094.0183

serial number-0123456789ABCDEF ( dunno why asus flash tool doesn't detect the correct SN!)

ok i will put it on charge overnight, +3:30 time zone iran

phone was on a CN z00ADA version and was rooted and had no recovery when i got it back from the repair center and was ok (used it like that for two days). using your Guide (https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785) , i directly flashed WW_ZE551ML_4.21.40.352_20170623.raw

there was no APD.img, ifwi-prod.bin, token MFG_BOM_Full.bin, in the extracted raw file so i skipped flashing APD.IMG and flashed R60_BOM_FULL.bin, ifwi.bin. then i noticed this line "make sure to install latest lollipop firmware before flashing Marshmallow" and though i had killed my phone, but luckily phone booted up and i sighed in relief. phone was still OK except for the "unfortunately the process com.android phone has stopped" error which i wiped the cache for but didn't go away , so thought heck who cares it a minor error and i am gonna use it as it is, used the phone like that for almost a week, then one morning out of the blue when i tapped restart the phone the phone didn't load the zenui. and was shuting down, booted to recovery reseted to factory settings and now i ran out of battery, got back home plugged it in and phone booted up normally, the "unfortunately the process com.android phone has stopped" was still there and sometimes as i was playing games it would pop up and make the phone shut down, flashed the raw this time using asus flash tool no error message bu phone started this shutting down pattern.

trying to fix it i bricked my phone and using your guide and xfstk-downloader, phone was alive again and i was on your mentioned WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.194_20160713 rom. and even i was getting ota updates , and phone was not shutting down but when i downloaded the ota update the phone did not restart and when i switched it on no update installing process was shown and phone booted up but was shutting down so flashed the rom using asus flash tool again and was OK used for a whole day to test if it is not shutting down and it was OK , updated to marhmellow and phone started shutting down automatically again, and even sometimes the touch screen acts up and press things on its own and starts programs and whatnot's

I am counting on your help to solve it, thanks a lot man
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:

could you please help me

Edit: i rooted the phone and using this guide https://xdaforums.com/sho...6&postcount=28 i was able to restore my SN but my BT address and mac remained unchanged, and i noticed there is also a config folder that contains this information and in its locale config it is stated that my phone model is 550ml when its 551ml, can you please share the contents of the config and factory folder , change your SN and mac address to zero so i can replace them with mine, i would really much appreciate your help

I have a 2gb micro sd card, so naturally i thought "ill put a movie on it" however when trying to play the movie it skips unbareably, the audio skips the video stops etc.

is this a common problem / is it easy to fix?

i am using tcpmp

herm 100

crc 9.1

thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrpiggae:
I had horrible luck with TCPMP. For movies now I use a converter to put them into MP4 with XVid and play them back with WMP. No issues and crystal clear.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Did you set it to raw frame buffer?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Deleted member 804010:
I have mine set to raw frame buffer, and have no issues with the picture. Only issue is if I fast forward - the sound skips horribly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kingsizeriz:
okay i kinda sorted it..

basically the scroll wheel on the side plays a huge part.. when i rotate it it starts to play at full speed :S and no skips but then some weird lag in video/ pixelisation.. trying to sort it

Raw frame buffer causes major slowdowns in video playback for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jez83uk:
I regulary watch movies or tv episodes on my hermes.

First, have you got the movie in the right resolution? Pocketdivxencoder will convert it down to 320*240 so your phone can handle it easily. I then had the problem that the hermes couldn't support playing the video and outputing the sound over A2DP, and solved this with coreplayer, which unfortunately isnt free, (about £15), but works perfectly for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kingsizeriz:
converting it now :) will post results - thanks for the input guys.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcdw:
[MENTION=9267303]Shlong7[/MENTION], people sometimes use memory when referring to RAM or storage. For me it means RAM. If that's what you meant then no, no G3 phones with 8GB. 3GB was the max for the main line of phones (D85x/LS990/VS985).

The D72x series (S, Beat, Vigor) have only 8GB of storage. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Reading this https://dontkillmyapp.com/oneplus I'm left wondering if some strange behaviour I'm seeing could be motivated by this.

For instance, I've been using for several years this app, Stay Alive: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive

It gives you the option of having the screen not turning itself off when charging. It's crucial in the car, where I have a dock mounted and use the phone for navigation, music playback, etc.

On my previous Nexus 6P the app worked flawlessly. With 6T sometimes the screen turns off and then it turn itself on once more, as if the process got killed and then restarted.

I have the "don't optimize" option activated for Stay Alive.

There are other strange behaviours I'm seeing, with Tasker for instance. And the nagging feeling that they might depend on background process handling at the OS level.

I recently did turn off Battery/Battery Optimisation/Advanced Optimisation/Deep Optimisation and Sleep standby optimisation, hoping to get better results. I still haven't reached a conclusion about it.

I have to say that it's pretty annoying to have the phone decide for you what should be happening for apps. For instance, I had Firefox in the "Don't optimize" category but it still had problems with opening new pages after a while. Turning off the above two options seems to have cured the problem but if that is needed I wonder what the heck "Don't optimise" mean for OnePlus.

I hope to get to the bottom of this as, quite frankly, not having the phone "act on his own" behind the scenes is exactly why I chose Android as my OS.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] indian84:
Thank you for this.

I've been feeling stupid having all these issues of pass getting killed in the background.

For me proper working phone is more important than battery life. I can easily get one whole day 6AM-11PM with around 30% battery left.

I would be ok if the apps won't get killed and I have say, 10% battery left at the end of the day.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmaathuis:
I also don't understand this, it's what I really dislike about the OnePlus phones. In earlier Android versions it was always adviced not to use app killers because the Android OS knows best when to kill an app. Now OnePlus is doing exactly this, and then call it an optimization... [emoji848]

But [MENTION=6030333]gorman42[/MENTION] are you aware of the option System - Developer Options - Stay Awake?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Megadoug13:
I want to say you're right but it's not only OnePlus that has too aggressive background killing. Google put optimization into Android a couple of years ago and they can't seem to hit a perfect medium between both. I'm sick of switching apps and then going back into an app a couple of minutes later to just have to start at the top of the feed again. It's annoying and it's happened with my 6t, Moto z, Droid turbo, lg g4, and my Galaxy s6 when they were all in their "prime". I think it boils down to Google ultimately
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Aridon:
Turn off adaptive battery and on your apps you absolutely want untouched selectDon't optimize under battery > battery optimizations. After doing that I have what is consider a normal experience.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Yes, I am. But the screen dims. It doesn't turn off but it dims. For in car navigation that is clearly undesired.

I wonder whether rooting would give me back the control I need through some third party modification...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
But if you read my post... I do have "Don't optimize" selected for relevant apps. It still doesn't seem to solve the problems I'm having.

Now I've turned off Adaptive Battery too. Let's see if it makes any difference.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmaathuis:
What most of the times work for for me is open the app, then go to recent app management, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner above the app and choose lock.

And thanks for the tip of this app, because of company policy "stay awake" was disabled on my device and this app overrides it (Earlier I tried 2 or 3 similar apps but they didn't work, this one does).
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
You really shouldn't have to modify your phone to, by chance, fix what OnePlus did (same could be said about other OEMs too, but that's besides the point right now). OnePlus needs to fix this issue, which has been an ongoing thing in their ROMs for over two years.

It's a shame that it takes a few app devs getting bad reviews on their apps to come up with a website pointing out the offenders of aggressive app management, with OnePlus being number 2 on the list for this issue to pick up traction, despite numerous users reporting about it on their forum and via in-app feedback for so long.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Compared to OxygenOS on the 3T, OxygenOS nowadays has become so nice to use on the 6T that I don't have a need to root anymore. It's just this issue that really hampers it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GnaXi:
I fell in love with OnePlus when I bought my very first OnePlus phone, the OnePlus 3T. I've since then owned the OnePlus 5T and 6T. Unfortunately I've been disappointed with both because of this specific issue. If they don't resolve this issue within the lifetime of my 6T I feel obligated to start looking for something other than a OnePlus phone next :( Such a shame, as I love everything else about OnePlus and OxygenOS.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
While investigating this I stumbled upon a setting in Developer Options.

Here’s the description and explanation: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-use-android-pie-standby-apps/

Problem is, with 6T all apps are stuck to ACTIVE status, you can’t modify their status. I guess this could point to OnePlus messing with regular Android power management.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] wilpang:
Are you sure you can't modify the settings, I've tried it and let's me change as per the link you posted?

I agree with you guys the app management is pretty aggressive.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Yeah, I tried before writing here.

It happens when you disable Adaptive Battery. If Adaptive Battery is enabled, those settings are active.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] popy2006:
I have the same issues with several apps (Tasker, Gravity Screen, Whatsapo (Web)...). The apps was running perfectly on my old lg g4 but on the OPO 6T they gets killed too often. Also disabled adaptive Battery and set those apps to dont optimize. But this doesnt helps....

In previous OOS on the 5T there was an setting for background apps count in developer options, this is sadly gone on our 6T. Is there a way to use this option also when removed from dev options?

(maybe editing some files).

Thx

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gregwee:
There are 3 settings under Settings > Battery:

1. Battery Saver

2. Battery optimization

3. Adaptive Battery

I have been able to get a somewhat 'normal' experience after turning all 3 options off for Whatsapp, Tasker, etc... For some programs, it seems that it needs to be started, and left running without closing the program in 'Recentd's..

I am rooted and use Greenify to close programs that I want killed when in the background..

[MENTION=6030333]gorman42[/MENTION]

Why do you need this staying-alive app?

Google Maps and Waze already make the device's screen stay awake while navigating...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Because I don't always use navigation in the car and always listen to music. And I want it to be always on *only* when power is connected.

In any case, obviously there are tons of workarounds. But I don't understand why I should have to "fight" *my* phone in order to have it behave how I want it.

Blokada falters, Firefox has tabs "dying" (I need to close the new tab it opens to and open a new one, otherwise it simply doesn't load websites; and it only happens when I've not been using it for a while), Tasker has erratic behaviour... The list goes on.

It's irritating enough that I've considered selling the device, to be honest.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Swimguy14:
I'm just counting the days until s10 is here
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
For the moment I've disabled Stay Alive and I've started using Tasker to set Display Timeout when connected to a power source.

What remains unclear to me is if OP is doing something "behind the scenes" on top of the regular Pie Adaptive Battery functionality.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jhpdroid:
There's a developer option for this:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
I've already replied to this.

That option stops the screen from turning off but doesn't stop it from dimming.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] indian84:
Yes. OP is messing with battery optimization.

I never had any issues on Essential phone running Pie or any custom ROMs on 6T. It's OOS that has all the issues.

I pray everyday that FP is sorted out soon on custom ROMs. Then I give middle finger to OOS..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Sorry, but I still don't understand.

Once you start navigation on Google Maps or Waze, the screen stays turned on anyway, whether it's connected to power or not.

I did it countless of times.

BTW, if all you want is for the screen to be turned on as long as the device is connected via USB, you can do it in the developer-options : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78809628&postcount=28
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidDeveloperLB:
If all you want is to let the screen turned on while the device is connected via USB, you can already do it without any app, in developer options. Check the attached image.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GnaXi:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Guys, I've replied to the developer options thing. It stops the screen from turning off but not from dimming. The point of the discussion wasn't necessarily about finding workarounds for specific cases. It's about the phone not behaving according to Pie rules for battery optimization.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GnaXi:
Exactly! This has been an issue even before Pie and I really hope that this thread doesn't just die, as this seems to be a serious issue for a bunch of people, myself included.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] indian84:
Either few users like us are having issues or Fanboys won't accept that there is a problem.

Is it possible for the fingerprint to work in custom roms without google adding support for inscreen readers into the source code?

For me the fingerprint issue is the only reason I havent left OOS also. I had the og pixel before this phone and I just prefer the Pie experience the way Aosp delivers it.

Also can anyone tell me if there is a way i can enable smart text selection and photo sharing from the recents menu?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
Yeah, I'm seeing this as well. I use the VPN application Adguard. Even with all battery optimizations disabled for this app, it will still disable it after a period time, forcing me to turn it back on if I do anything on the web.

Don't remember it doing that in the x.07 firmware, just the x.11 version.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] indian84:
Not as of now. But Omni guys have cracked the code (not literally), and have FP working. They haven't released it for public use yet, but I have spoken to one of the Omni team, and he has confirmed it.

I feel it's not long before we have FP working on custom ROMs..

Awesome news! ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Laz35:
I have the same annoying issue where the background apps are killed way too aggressively despite all forms of battery optimization being turned off. However I might have had a small breakthrough by increasing the dalvik.vm.heapsize

It was set to only 36m so I increased that to 64 and already I feel like apps are staying in the background longer without reloading after a few mins of inactivity. I suggest you play with this setting too!

I used Kernel Auditor to edit build.prop. After a change reboot.

Has anyone tried disabling smart boost to see if the processes keep running in the background?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
I have smartboost enabled and I never run into applications getting killed.

That's what smartboost is supposed to do for you.

It's supposed to leave the applications in the large memory footprint that device has.

Right now I have 24 recent apps with memory utilization of 84% of the 8GB in my phone.

I don't have any issues that people are seeing.

I just killed all recents and the memory immediately dropped.

Did any of you go into developer option and play with background process limits or keep activities? Don't do that.

Anyway, I haven't done anything special and my background apps aren't being killed.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
smartboost enabled on my phone, but still killing adguard.

I still believe it might be the x.11 version. Never happened with the x.07 version of pie
