[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You'll miss not having a notch that's for sure. As far as battery life goes, who knows until you try it out :confused:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
Some of these threads are ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lightfire:
And, please explain what is ridiculous about wanting to know, from ANYONE who knows, of the practical battery life of the 3XL versus 4xl? Anyone with common sense would understand that a person who used a 3XL and then upgraded to a 4xl would have approximately the same usage patterns, and therefore would KNOW the answer.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
Cause everyone has different usage, signal strength, apps etc. That's why. Battery life depends on many different factors.

Get a Moto G7 Power if you want crazy battery life
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lightfire:
And so someone who had established usage patterns on a 3XL then moved to a 4xl wouldnt have an extremely similar if not identical average usage pattern? Huh., I think otherwise.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
Okay. So far today I have 6 hours and 7 minutes of SOT with 29% battery left. I'll easily hit 8 hrs. So why aren't you getting the same as me? Is 8 hours good enough for you? If so, keep the P4XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lightfire:
WOW...I am not getting anything close to that. 20% drain in 1.5 hrs while idle. Yes, I have options enabled but to me, why have a full featured ph if one can’t use the features. I may try disabling motion. I did turn off most notifications.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
I disabled AOD cause it's pointless for me and Reach to wake and lift to wake. I use tap to wake only. Everything else is on.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] suzook:
I don't understand everyone's issue with batt life. Getting 5 hrs sot with 100% brightness. Its such bs. I almost passed on this phone because of of it. Thank god I bought one.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bigmatt503:
I have everything turned on including forced 90hz refresh. I easily get 6.5-7.5 sot.

Everyone's usage is different and that's why you're getting roasted for a question nobody can answer.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mobgod:
Amen
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] itiskonrad:
I upgraded from the 3XL to the 4XL with virtually no change in how I use it, and from my experience, I get roughly 30%-40% more screen on time with the 4XL than I did with the 3XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lightfire:
Finally! A real answer! Thank you!

I really don’t understand those that simply repeat themselves about usage is different. A FACT is, especially for enthusiasts that upgrade frequently, once we establish ph usage habits they are unlikely to drastically change just because we change phones.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
Delete
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
So with that one answer it looks like you'll get worse battery with the 3XL?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
And what if someone posts they had better battery life on the P3XL? Then what?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lightfire:
Well, Did you?

One of my points pertaining to the non-helpful answers is that anyone that really examines enthusiasts/business owners/other users who upgrade every year, they will find that usage patterns are extremely similar. If a person had a Pixel 3XL last year and purchases a 4 xl this year, there has been plenty of time to look at an average and arrive at a conclusion. But instead of direct answers (only one so far), I get this “every user battery experience is different” without an answer to the original post; this is useless as tits on a boar hog. Everyone should know that all users are different in battery usage - that is a given and should not even need to be said.. But it defies logic to think that usage patterns, in an average, are drastically different from say last year.

I would love to hear from more actual users who have something to contribute..

For me, things are looking up a bit. I did something I never usually do. Instead of turning off the charger when the phone hits 100%, I left it on a Qi charger overnight. Today, I have 3hrs 20 min of screen on time with multiple email and message check-ins. And one 30 min call and another 10 min call. And I was at 49% at 5 PM.. This is MUCH better. I did turn off the AOD as well. But my opinion is I should not have had to turn off anything to still have this much usage with reserve to finish the evening.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfeyes30:
This thread is useless as tits on a hog too. Good luck.

Battery life on the 3XL is horrible. WORST than the 4XL. I am happy with the 4 XL over my 3 XL just because it last a lot longer for me!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] manueltimz:
How do i resteict apps
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
My batt was about the same on the 3XL, slightly better standby there but slightly worse in usage. That's with everything on in both cases except for AOD which was disabled in both cases. My usage hasn't changed much in years and both faced a similar day of usage. In my experience with this phone AOD is far and away the worst offender for battery usage, much worse than 90 forced, soli, etc. I'd also note that something is seriously wrong if your getting that kind of idle drain, you gotta have a cpu lock or similar issue because even with everything on there is no scenario where you kill that much juice on idle.

Going back to screen on time I usually go a little less than 5 hours, no chance I'd get 8 or anything close to it and didn't with the OP6 either. In fairness though I'm always below the glowing numbers posted on here with every device.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bigmatt503:
Titties!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I don't think it was your battery life vs theirs. I think it's your battery life on the Pixel 3 XL vs your battery life on the Pixel 4 XL since your usage would be similar on both phones. It might not much their usage patters but it could be used for a baseline of how each phone does under similar conditions.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
I don't see the reason for the ire either, I can get a good idea of how much batt I'm going to get before I buy a phone just based on what people post here about it because I pretty much know where I'm going to stand compared to an average XDA'er. A comparison with the same user on different devices can be very instructive across just enough users to see a trend if one exists. It's just an idea but forum surfers could opt to answer the question and help instead of trying to derail the thread because it doesn't meet their own personal conventional wisdom or forum trend.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Gustav Karlsson:
Same. Full brightness, many social medias and 5h SOT.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarpspeedSCP:
I think the title speaks for itself...

Basically I have no display.

adb debugging is enabled in my rom but needs the usb connection mode to be mtp or it recognises the devices but has no permissions.

I have spent an infuriatingly long time trying to fumble with a keyboard on otg to change the usb mode from charging to mtp with no feedback and failing.

I can boot to recovery, mess around with adb and stuff.

I set the following line in build.prop and default.prop:

persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

(mounted system rw when doing it so it sticks)

This doesn't work, I still have no permissions. Is there some property I can change in some file somewhere that'll set the right setting for this?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] André-1902:
Hello everyone,

I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.

I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.

I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.

So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.

My first question is which Android version you suggest?

Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?

Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?

Thank you in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geotux:
Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed :) The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).

I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.

There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?

BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saphta:
Hi,

First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:

More info here:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-2/10-inch-development/final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779

It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.

See this one as well:

https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/

You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.

After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.

To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Ev3rything:
Ok, so I bought the ROG Phone 2 on AliExpress a few weeks ago on Black Friday because I really needed a new phone. After reviewing the page details I found out that the seller puts the global rom on himself because it comes by default with the Chinese rom. Will this still work for banking apps and OTA updates? Can I make it work somehow? Had I known in advance that it wouldn't be the Real global version I wouldn't have bought it, but since I've waited so long to get it, I'd just assume make it work myself, rather than go through the whole hassle to return it. I don't know much about custom rom's and what is / isn't possible, so I am at a loss as to what to do, or how I can check what kind of phone it is when I get it. Any help would be much appreciated so thanks in advance!

Here is the page where i bought it, because it has some more information on specifics: "aliexpress.com/item/4000106113494.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.5fd61d0e5SUkH5"

Also side question, since the seller changed the rom himself should I be possibly concerned with keylogger or anything?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
1. I shouldn't worry too much about keyloggers etc. but if you are, just run a good virus scanner when you get the device...

2. With regard to banking apps, they mainly have issues with being rooted... which you won't be.

3. Regarding OTA's, assuming the fingerprint has been changed, you can see this thread for an app that allows updates to be enabled, providing you aren't rooted or anything.

But, if they haven't changed the fingerprint (you can check using device info HW under 'system') then you'll need to follow one of the guides on the forum to change it yourself... here's one... change fingerprint

My phone is Samsung S9+ android 9
[Huawei Watch] Andrastronaut:
Hi, I had one from new, bought it in 2017 I think, used it until September 2019, the only issue I had was the original black leather strap broke. I sold it as fancied something different but after using a non android watch for a week I sent it back and bought a used W1 from ebay. It has less surface marks on the casing than mine had, the battery seems very slightly better (finish the day around 65% instead of 40-45 with the same watch face) but this has a screen burn-in which I was not aware was an issue until I received the watch. Not a big problem as it would only be disturbing on white or very light backgrounds and my usual faces are dark. The other issue is the charging pins on the back plate of the watch are very worn, have to fiddle with the charger to work so I'm looking to replace the back plate (circa £5-10 from China). So this is it. If I could buy mine back which I originally had I would as that was still great, much better than this newer but less looked after one.

Hi,

This is my first time trying to root an android phone

I'v flashed with Magisk from the github, Used ODIN to do so,

Had OEM unlocked Grey out (already unlocked) in the settings before doing so, and USB debugging etc,

After i successfully flashed with ODIN

I was watching a video and was told to finalise the steps you have to boot into Recovery mode to wipe the phone

Now i followed the button process the person in the video did Vol down + Power to Restart the device from Download Mode

Then Volume up + bixby + power and he said to release the power and bixby after the bootloader warning but i did this and i'v not been able to reach Recovery mode

My samsung is just constantly stuck on the boot Logo after the bootloader warning

but i can restart the phone and reach Download mode again

Would anyone be able to assist thanks

Nothing comes to mind. I've disabled all other Magisk modules for the sake of it, no difference. The maximum still appears to be 5.

This is the stock clock. I've tried disabled Nova Launcher, disabling all my modules (including Active Edge) and even looked at what was using superuser access for clues and nothing is really doing much. I've changed my locale back to English from French just in case.

I'm afraid I've never seen an h between the hours and minutes before....if you are using french that might be the problem. I've heard of things that would not work with anything other than English.
