[LG V20 Accessories] Merazomo:
Before the MAXXXJUICE website temporarily closed because of the pandemic, I was able to order 2 batteries from them along with 1 Perfine battery from Amazon, and 1 Perfine battery from eBay. I can honestly tell you that I was constantly getting more than 6 hours of on-screen time with either battery. I would forget to disconnect my phone overnight when charging sometimes, and I never had any accidents. The way I could tell that the batteries I was buying were probably the last good batteries available for the V20, is that both brands claimed 4100mah and that seemed to be accurate when testing with the AccuBattery and GSam Battery apps while being rooted; that's the capacity that I tested would "just barely" lay flush on the back of the phone without popping-off the battery cover. The batteries that claimed to have 4100mah but would fit perfectly without any force back would only give me 4-5 hours at best. I see a lot of 3300mah, 4420mah, 4390mah, and 4380mah batteries now which I'm sure work fine, but I'm sure it's a trial and error situation since they might be only switching labels; 4380mah vs 4390mah? That seems like a marketing stunt.

As of May 2021 though I finally moved on to a galaxy Note 10 plus; seeing how "good reliable batteries" were starting to get harder to find. The performance of the V20 has "a lot" to do with the battery, and it might even reboot or slow down the phone if something is wrong with the battery. After 4 years of using the V20 (rooted, debloated, and with a custom kernel) I used to think the phone used up too much battery running tasks in the background; I lose almost 6% with the Note 10 plus on Wi-Fi overnight not doing anything so it's not just the V20. I think it's just the nature of newer apps, they require internet more and more everyday, so the old outdated operating system of the V20 just doesn't do as well as before. I would replace the thermal paste on my V20 every year, and it is still night and day compared to how "cool" the Note 10 plus runs. LG's "Official" Android 9 or 10 would've given me another year with my V20, but unfortunately LineageOS is all there is; voLTE isn't available for the V20 on LineageOS.
[LG V20 Accessories] ssnova:
Thanks for sharing your experience on aftermarket batteries with the V20.

I hear you on the lack of VOLTE in aftermarket support for the V20, it's a shame LG never unlocked it. It's still an excellent device to me. Even without using it as a phone, it's a great music player and universal remote (glad it has an IR blaster, I actually use it). I'm also very grateful that you can easily swap out batteries, despite it being hard to find a decent battery replacement, still something I'm thankful for... I used to call it, "one of the last greatest smartphones ever made" ... despite it's shortcomings, they just don't make devices with such features these days.
[LG V20 Accessories] Merazomo:
It's a great device; AT&T's variant will still support voLTE on AT&T's network even after 2022 when 3G goes away; however, T-Mobile's variant will be dropped in 2022 even though the phone is more than capable. You will be finding a lot of cheap T-Mobile media devices in a few months on eBay; IR blaster, removable battery, and Hi-Fi Quad DAC headphone jack.
[LG V20 Accessories] baldybill:
Do these fit with the standard back panel?
[LG V20 Accessories] Mysticblaze347:
Yeah...they r original slim size
[LG V20 Accessories] ssnova:
Just an update, I ended picking up a Shenmz 4390 Mah off of Amazon due to convenience. I'm still testing it out and will need a few runs to see what the real mah is, but so far I'm impressed, noticeably longer lasting than the OEM rated batteries, in addition, the v20 seems more responsive-less laggy, I'm guessing because it's maintaining the proper voltage throughout useage.

Also wanted to mention that it's a few slivers thicker than stock but I did not have problems snapping the back plate securely.

I'll try and give an update after a couple weeks or so.
[LG V20 Accessories] andruyd:
I have a Shenmz from over a year ago and there's no noticeable degradation.
[LG V20 Accessories] ssnova:
That's encouraging to hear. I got mine from Amazon, the 3rd party seller was Conqto with a claimed capacity of 4390 Mah's, I didn't see such a Shenmz battery else where, but I picked it up anyways since it was more convenient than ebay.

I've only charged the battery twice so far, thus I was hesitant to give an update, but thus far it's holding up much better than any other battery I've experienced. It will only lose about 5% an evening on idle, if that. Though it's too early to tell what the actual capacity is right now(I need more cycles) Accubattery estimates 3947.7 mah's for now (that's with only 2 charge cycles, 1st I plugged it in at 9%, 2nd time I ran the phone until it powered off before plugging it in to charge).
[LG V20 Accessories] ssnova:
Another update, after my 3rd drain and recharge from shutdown, Accubattery gauges the battery at: 3,896.6 mah's. Accubattery started counting when repowered about 2%.

So I guess, at this point at least, seems like the Shenmz battery I got from Amazon isn't the real deal. Though I will say it's still better than any other battery OEM battery I've tried (other than the one it came with, I think the other OEM's I received from ebay were grey market). This "Shenmz" battery is longer lasting and more stable at least, although it doesn't gauge to around 4200mah's like a real one should.
[LG V20 Accessories] mirrin:
Shenmz 4380mAh from 2021 here Battery here is year old at this point it has swollen to the point the back will not stay on.
[LG V20 Accessories] ssnova:
That's the frustrating thing... From what I understand that shouldn't be happening with a true Lion Polymer battery.

I'm still using my Shenmz battery... however, it does seem the capacity has diminished and it drains on idle noticeably faster.

It seems rather difficult to find an decent battery for the V20... I wish I picked up a "Zero Lemon" extended battery when I had the chance, I believe those were of decent quality(though only a long term owner could verify).

There still seems to be a ton of refurbished V20's coming out of China on ebay(sold as "new"... I got one but clearly it was refurbished, hack job assembled parts, decent overall, but still noticeable that the pieces were not perfectly aligned). What I'm getting at is.. there seems to still be a market plenty of these phones out there so the demand for accessories is still there.

Hopefully someone decides to make a decent battery. For what it's worth, I purchased a 2022 Shemnz "4600 mah" battery, it'll come in a few weeks, so we'll see...

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Henkiestyle:
Ever since I have this phone, I have been unable to sign-in to open Wi-Fi services that require it (like in some fast-food chains for example).

Usually when you make use of seach a service you are directed to a sign-in page in your webbrowser, after which you enter some details and/or accept some conditions. However, whenever I am directed to such a page it will not load. I have tried this in multiple places, all resulting in the same error. The error tells me it couldn't connect to the server by the way, the same you get when you try to browse without having a connection. My default browser is FireFox, but I have also tried switching default to stock browser and chrome so the page would be opened there, and they garner the same result. Coincidentally I have been perfectly fine signing in on FireFox with a different device. I think this pretty much excludes the browser as the culprit, so it seems like a device problem. Possibly a setting somewhere?

In any case, if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] NJ72:
I had a similar issue, I realised that it was because I was using adguard DNS. Turned that off and it now works 100% of the time.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] mightywhites29111971:
I'm having this problem with the WiFi at the gym. I don't have adguard either. Not sure what causes this. I'm also using Firefox, but I didn't have any problems with my HTC.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] chistery:
I usually find it's because most sites use https and the sign in pages are using http.

Try going to a site that still uses http, my site of choice, as it's easy to remember is:

http://neverssl.com
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Henkiestyle:
I did indeed have Blokada installed with adguard DNS enabled. But even uninstalling it didn't solve the issue for me. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks for the suggestion! Just visisted a couple of http only sites, and they loaded just fine. So I suppose my issue is elsewhere.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] chistery:
Http://neverssl.com is useful for when you are trying to sign on to a wifi portal and need to go to a page that won't redirect to https and fail.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Henkiestyle:
So I found a setting in the device settings for a DNS server. Switching it to 'automatic' allowed me to access the login site for the WiFi service, so yesterday I was able to use the connection. Unfortunately, after a device reboot, it failed to allow me to sign in again. Every time this happens, it tries to direct me to connectivitycheck.platform.hicloud.com and then fails to connect. Luckily due to my success earlier, I had the link to the sign-in page in my history and that allowed me to visit the sign-in page directly. Visiting neverssl did nothing for me in any of the cases, by the way. All in all I suppose it has something to do with the DNS settings of the device, even though changing them to the settings that worked for me before didn't do anything for me this time.
[Huawei Watch 2] shaunydub:
After nearly 2 years I have had enough and will change.

The whole time I had the watch with Huawei P9 > Nokia 8 > Honor View 10 > P30 Pro there have been issues with the bluetooth constantly disconnecting and removing from trusted device unlock.

To happen with all these phones is clearly something wrong with how it connects to Android / bluetooth stack.

I love the watch so put up with constantly going into Wear app and "reconnecting" but now the battery is draining at an insane amount.

At the start I could manage 2 days without charge, now I am charging it before sleep and waking up with 23% left.
[Huawei Watch 2] Kianush:
you know i guess there might be something wrong with your device because my hw2 always stays connected to my phone and in the past year I have only noticed one or two times of disconnection, and i wear it at least 8 hrs a day.
[Huawei Watch 2] Headroom:
It most be your watch

I agree with Kianush, must a problem with your watch. I have a Huawei Watch 2 Classic and I've never had those issues. I do charge before going to sleep, but even doing sleep monitoring in the morning I have usually 75% and it lasts thru the day.
[Huawei Watch 2] shaunydub:
As I say battery was very good until recently so maybe it is on it's way out.

The bluetooth has always had disconnection issues for me at random points in the day.

Also seems it can't handle other BT devices connecting to the phone - i.e. earphones or car head unit will make it disconnect and then it will not reconnect and I need to go into Wear app on phone and reconnect which of course means Smart Lock needs to be added again.
[Huawei Watch 2] mr-mauro:
I had always the problem of it disconnecting randomly as well (and I changed a bunch of phones in the meanwhile as well). But, after all, it is still good looking :)

I bought a fossil gen 5 the other week and I sent it back... It was slightly faster (I recently installed on the HW2 the janjan ROM+KERNEL) but, I couldn't stand how it was looking with a part of the screen that actually was bazel (at least the HW2 fake a big crown :P) So, waiting for next-gen or I'll buy a Ticwatch pro LTE that has 1gb of ram as well (processor wise, won't change anything in term of speed) but it has a bigger full screen :)
[Huawei Watch 2] shaunydub:
Yes, I like the watch very much but the disconnection issue is just annoying, somedays it never disconnects and other days its every 10 minutes even under the same circumstances.

I decided to try Galaxy Active 2 for now, doesn't look like Huawei will make a HW3 with Wear anytime soon.
[Huawei Watch 2] mr-mauro:
Galaxy Active 2 is nice and it has faster processor than the snapdragon400-2100-3100 :) My only concern is the fact that it doesn't run WearOS :( Let us know how will it work out with Tizen :)
[Huawei Watch 2] shaunydub:
Yes, I am also slightly nervous about Tizen but watched a Youtube video of Tizen vs Wear vs Android on several devices and it seems to be very similar in use + I found an app that synchronises data to Google Fit.

However I do use several Android apps on my HW2 such as Keep Notes and Fotmob, plus I like the media controls so I will need to fully test this with my P30 Pro before deciding to keep the Active 2.
[Huawei Watch 2] shaunydub:
So I have had the Galaxy Watch Active 2 for a week now and all I can saw is WOW.

This feels like huge upgrade from Huawei Watch 2 in nearly all areas.

The watch itself feels premium, feels more like a real watch on the arm.

The colours are bright and vivid, the speed the watch operates at puts Wear OS to shame, the speaker is great and so many more options with sound and notifications and pretty much everything.

My initial concern was about the lack of Wear OS store and while I do not have Outlook or Fotmob apps everything works., the main app I miss is Google Keep Notes.

I can control my music on my P30 Pro, I can respond to messages in Whatsapp or SMS with voice or type.

Ok it has Bixby instead of Google Assistant but I never used it and I can achieve some similar results such as "set alarm" etc.

It is the first time I tried a non Wear OS watch and I am pretty surprised by it and can't see how Wear can catch up, it is just too slow and dull in comparison.

Plus it has wireless charging and you can backup the watch ready for if you need to wipe or transfer to new phone.

I loved my HW2 for a long time but now GA2 is the new king (although nothing still has the UV sensor I had on my MS Band 2)
[Huawei Watch 2] mightywhites29111971:
Does anyone have any other idea's about what to upgrade to? I'm not a fan of Tizan, but do we wait for the never appearing Pixel watch? Has anyone else updated since this thread started? If so, what to and how is it?
[Huawei Watch 2] shaunydub:
Apart from Fossil there were no real options hence my semi forced move to Samsung.

I like it and it performs much better but I miss some apps like Keep Notes.

And Bixby is useless.

While working on my wm6.0 rom project (see the rom forum) I found this:

I didn't test it yet but seams you can reject a call using the "wheel" on the shadow.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] lolezz08:
Hello XDA family!

I bought a secondhand Sony Xperia XZ Premium recently and it is locked to Vodafone UK which is okay as I can get NUC if I use a vodafone simcard with this device for 30day, but the "bootloader allowed unlock: no" I suspect that it is locked because of Vodafone...but I came across something what wasn't possible before. I opened the developer options in the phone settings menu and there was the OEM Unlock greyed out a week ago I tried on the very first day...but yesterday I decided to try again and it was only pure boredom. And guess what...OEM Unlock toggled and still it is. So now I really have no clue what is going on.

Do you guys think that If I would generate a password on the sony site and try to fastboot oem unlock still wouldn't work properly or simply it would make a soft brick of it, or the other issue with drm and camera and etc.?

So again my question, anybody has any idea what we are looking at right now? :D anyways this device about 3 years old and I just don't get that if the carriers and also the manufacturer doesn't give a damn about their devices older than 1,5 yrs old, no more software upgrades and nothing in general, why is that hard thing to give the permission to the end user to do whatever they want with their fully paid device.

Thanks for stopping by!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Vendors usually prohibit bootloader unlock because they don't want the warranty hassle. "wahhh, I unlocked my phone and now it's broke"

I don’t think the OEM unlock will make any difference, but there is no harm in trying. You’ll just get an error with ADB if you try to unlock it and it’s no possible. It won’t brick your phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Sygnomi:
Earlier today after rebooting this message popped instead of my homescreen:

"Encryption unsuccessful

Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.

To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account.

"

Is there a way for me to retrieve the files on my internal storage before doing the factory reset? Or is there a fix that I can use so that I don't have to go through the setting up process again?

And just to make things worst, I can't boot into the bootloader by pressing Vol Up+Power simultaneously.

I also tried using adb but, my computer does not seem to recognized my phone is plugged in and is in fastboot mode already.

To those who would be kind enough to reply, I will greatly appreciate your help :good: :o

First of all, fastboot mode key combo is vol down + power not vol up + power. And to fix decryption issues, use official twrp 3.2.3-1 and do format data as 3.3.1-0 is based on pie tree which causes issues with decryption and is unstable.

DO you use an cocked or the Stock Rom?

If you use the Stock Rom it can be an problem with the SD Card.

Install Pocket Plus and put out the SD when it starts up normal then you know it is an problem with the SD.

There are many Threads of what to do, in the Forums.

Edit: You can try this: for the Reboot Problem, use an Fileexplorer as TC or Resco and rename the File omap850_sdhc.dll in Windows Folder to omap850_sdhc.old and softreset. For me once this slovt the Problem of Bootloop.
