[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] sainantha:
Hi guys just bought the ROG phone 2 a week ago, just would like to know about the Battery life? I've done all the settings recommended by the battery optimization module suchs screen brightness and screen timeout etc. I also turned off my GPS but I noticed after sleeping for 9hours or so after leaving my phone idle the battery which was initially 90% dropped to 83%. Is that normal? Cause I've seen youtube claim u can game for 3 hours and the battery will only drop by 5%. Or is that only when u turn on xmode? Also I do leave my mobile data turned on but is that enough to drain the battery to this extend?

Thanks for the exposition but not really what I'm looking for
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Good word! :exposition

Can't shed any light on your query, but can add, if have data/reception switched on, it will consume more or less depending on your signal strength as it searches for the strongest source. So it'll vary user to user.

If not informative... Oh well, at least, I had some input lol
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] sainantha:
Thanks any input is better than none at all. So it's relatively normal that my battery drains 8 - 10 percent when idle? It's because of the signal strength? It doesn't really bother me much but I would just like to make sure that's it's within the norm and not faulty battery or something
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Doubt its a faulty battery. And no doubt there are more factors involved than only signal strength, but yeah,signal strength does play a part in it. It might not make too much difference while your at home ie in one place, but you're on the move as the phone goes in and out of stronger or weaker signal areas, the phone has to keep scanning for the best possible connection, which consumes more battery.

I haven't noticed a great deal of difference running latest A10 update (2004.60) compared to A9, but others favour A9 for better battery. Which version are you on? Some say latest A10 is on par with A9, others disagree. Each to their own!

Personally I don't monitor it religiously, so not sure what my percentage drop per hour or over a given time frame is, so I can't advise you on that.

Battery for me lasts about 2 days with some to spare and a fair amount of usage. I only play Bike Race, I'm not a hardcore gamer. That's good enough for me and similar to what it was on A9. Not too sure of screen on time

Edit: actually, just noticed my battery is at 11 percent, the screenshot should give you a fair idea of what to expect... Obviously, I varies on apps installed /in use too. There's probably more factors, not too sure
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Here you go
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] sainantha:
Thanks it does clear up some things and also I'm on A9 but u've mentioned battery lasts for 2days? Is your mobile data turned on? Frankly I've noticed my battery does tend to drop faster when mobile data is turned on so it might be as u've mentioned about mobile data and the signal strength. Although I don't really get out much since the entirety of the outside world looks straight outta fallout 4. But find it hard to believe the phone just drop 5 percent of battery after 3 hours of intensive gaming( according to youtube anyway ) considering it drops way below that point even when idle.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] oberio28:
Yes, the signal strength from your mobile network operator does affect the battery consumption.. I've noticed this when I am at remote areas.. It's plausible for the 5% drop in battery during gaming if you have turned on the airplane mode..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] HermesHidayat:
I have been using the ROGPHONE 2 since January 2020. Only way the battery is draining faster than it should are 2 reasons.

1st is there is a defect.

2nd is weak cellular signal.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Yep, data, wifi and bluetooth all switched on with 120Hz screen and X-mode always on
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] sainantha:
Owhh right, they nvrn mention it in the videos though. But makes sense
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] sainantha:
Hopefully not the first point but the second makes sense since I am living in quite the rural area currently. May need to check back the signal strength once I'm back in the city.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] TikiThePug:
Another useless, repeated, off-topic XDA member :rolleyes:

Your issue is most likely one (or more) of a few things:

If you're on Android 10, which in my experience has battery drain and heating issues (that's why I downgraded to Android 9)

You have some frequent wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake and draining your battery (if you have root, or don't mind rooting, flash Kirisakura kernel and install EX Kernel Manager to see the top wakelocks)

You have apps in the background that are auto-starting and taking up network bandwidth, even when your phone is idle (check under Settings > Battery > PowerMaster > Auto-start manager and disable the apps which you don't rely on for constant notifications)

Hope that helps you.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] sainantha:
Thanks for the input but I'm on Android 9 and I've also heard bout the links with Android 10. I am curious bout rooting it though
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] HermesHidayat:
Rural area... City outskirts? Sounds fun. Stop playing with the phone. Enjoy life.

Only phone i have used before and doesn't seem to drain because of weak cellular signal is the Huawei P30 Pro. Then my current ROGPHONE 2... Owh wait you want to see weak cellular signal kill a phone really fast? Get a Note 10+.... Gets killed in 3 hours. Lmao.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] falonsoperal:
Hey guys, how are you doing.

I need your help, because i have a samsung s9 (SM-G960F) which is in a bootloop. I am trying to install a stock rom, but with all the ones that i have tried, odin has either got stuck on keystorage.img or, it has given me a secure check fail. As this occured inexpectedly, i don't know my csc code, so if any of you could find it, i will pay well.

Also, i have tried different odin version, all with the same result. And i tried all of the spanish softwares (because i am spanish)

my imei is 353467/10/733728/3

in download mode it says that FRP LOCK is on, Also OEM LOCK is too.

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
where did you get your firmware from? try a fresh download of the firmware, the most current version of Odin, maybe try a different cable (this isnt a likely culprit) and finally a different computer. Those are basically the only things you can do in situations like these. if it was me, i would absolutely download a fresh firmware from sammobile and flash it as a first step. The sammobile link brings you to a page where you can select your country. You should be able to flash whatever countries firmware you want, but its best to flash the one that it was originally built with. You can look that up with the IMEI if you still have the box or the sticker on the back of the phone itself. Also, im thinking it could easily be the version of Odin youre using as they can be very finicky.

i littered an entire box of links in that reply for some odd reason. im bored :D

Edit:

also, i see this is your first post, so WELCOME to the forum!

Edit 2: i promise im gonna stop editing this post... eventually :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] falonsoperal:
Thx

thank you man, i will try that. quick question, is SAMFW.COM reliable? because i have been downloading the firmware from there

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
Hello all, recently got an essential phone and want to flash a custom rom to keep it up to date. I've noticed on the official LineageOS website there is a build of 17.1 available https://download.lineageos.org/mata

Is there anything wrong with this build? I see it hasn't been updated since 5/01. Was it abandoned? There doesn't seem to be any talk about it here...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chanh2018:
Their server has been hacked few weeks ago. They're rebuiding it. Just wait.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
Ah ok. That's good to know. I was afraid maybe they abandoned it or there were some kind of issues with the build. I'll probably flash then or just wait for the next one to flash.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] novice70:
Can anybody confirm if OpenGAPPs Nano will work with latest 17.1 2020-06-01 release? I had an issue with previous 17.1 2020-05-01 - no Google Apps working after following official guide and was forced to revert to Lineage 16, which works perfectly fine for me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
That's because the LOS 17.1 recovery wasn't making system writable before flashing. It was discussed on Reddit. You'd flash a zip, but because system was read only, nothing got written.

That's been fixed, supposedly. Honestly, I've been updating since 4/29 build and can't say for sure. I found another way to flash gapps back then.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lynnux:
This weekend I did a clean flash of the 5/30 build. Flashing nano gapps led to trebuchet continually force closing, rom was unusable. I went back and flashed pico gapps and it worked. I recall someone else had the same experience. YMMV.

Mmm it's weird, I just have the 05/29

Ps: Is there a way to install the update from LOS recovery having the .Zip or forcing LOS updater? I don't want to get any risk trying to do from twrp.

PS2: try to update manually, go to other slot with twrp, then change slot back, install los17.1 06/01, then bootloop u,u

PS3: Got tired of trying from twrp, and sideload from los recovery ADB. And didnt work... Any ideas how to recover my phone without factory reset? thanks

PS4: Trying to install los on both slot now I can't even go into twrp, flash twrp again but just boot to bootloader D: this phone gonna kill me. Thanks to all for any help
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lynnux:
I did what you did, a couple days ago, and ended up factory resetting. I'd be interested in a solution to this, too, for future.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
Delete currently downloaded update, exit settings, then check for update again. It will show up. I've had this issue for the past 2 updates and deleting the existing update that's downloaded seemed to work.

Does someone experience battery drain? How do you see full detailed list of battery usage? Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] warwagon19792:
I've used a lot of phones with Lineage OS over the years. The Essentials phone with 17.1 is the most fluid and stable exeperence I've ever had, expesially when installing OS updates. It installs, and just simply needs to be rebooted. The battery is origonal and I usually end the day at 50% ...

If I had list one thing I miss, it would have to be Volte. I'm unable to use the internet and be on a phone call at the same time. The only time this becomes an issue, is when i'm tethering my laptop to my phone to do remote assistance, and I have to be on a call at the same time. I don't use that very often, usually only when I go camping, so for that I go back to my stock LG V20.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rophiroth:
Maybe my phone goes nuts and maybe must start from scratch... But I'm not seeing the point of using any custom rom instead of just the original,looks like it was fine and there are no many features on any custom rom, or I'm wrong?

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] philsner:
If you have magisk installed you should check out VoEnabler module. It makes volte and wifi calls available and works like a charm for months now. Look it up and use the the version edgd1er provides.

This module made me overthinking getting a new phone. With official lineage support I'm 100% satisfied again. Will change display and battery so i can continue to use it. Just a great device!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
That exact module did not work for me using AT&T. I ended up switching to Paranoid Android, everything works there.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
getting monthly security updates would be a worthwhile reason. There a are also some new features for Android 11, search for articles on new features. These days custom ROMs are normally much more stable & your phone is unlikely to go "nuts", but it's always possible & flashing does carry sombre risk.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chanh2018:
Actually, that module worked for me (Evolution X + AT&T), it's not perfect but it does the job and no memory issue. I had another module made by some Chinese ppl, but dare not try yet.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
Oh you have installed already.

Doesn't sound lake battery damage if suddenly happening at same time this app using lots of battery. Where are you seeing this system app called "-5"? Using an app or looking in developer option/running services? It could be some legitimate app but don't think that "name" follows android rules, which might mean it's a malware. I don't have Lineage installed on my essential right now, maybe someone else can check, but I don't have this on my other phone running Lineage 16. Assume you downloaded Linage from official website. Did you also root or other mod like Magisk modules? (possible a conflict with old app not updated to Android 10). Can you give more detail on this -5?

Edit: official build here for Essential PH-1

Updates has fix a lot of problems of battery draining. Build is getting better. Still have some weird bugs like Google drive going crazy re downloading offline file all days, and video calls of whatsapp not working my microphone.

Problems I got with earphone adapter I'm pretty sure it was hardware problem, my adapter works for audio some days, then work for microphone and audio and that very same day stop working forever.

Hope we keep getting good updates until fully stable version.

Did anyone noticed there are delay in notification response in Android 10 Custom rom. I tried almost all Android 10 custom rom and all of them having this issue.

For example, when connecting to vpn, after successfully connected, notification for authenticating still there for about 3-4 second before dismiss.

Same like any other notification. Another example is when downloading a file, after finished downloaded with download completed notification, the notification for downloading is still there for few seconds.

Anyone having the same issue? Is this going to be fixed anytime soon?

This is the only reason why I stay with Android 9 even though Android 10 mostly stable now.

Hey guys

Im in a bit of a trouble.

Sitting in front of my dads phone trying to unlock it.

Cant ask my dad anymore. He died few days ago. To get access to his password safe i really need to unlock the phone. He stored all of his onlinebanking accounts, insurance data and stuff there. Need to pays all his debts but i have no clue about what to pay and what is paid.

Already found his secret note about the master password of keepass but not the unlock pattern.

Factory reset is of course not an option.

Any chance that i can skip the pattern and unlock it with the PIN?

Its also still connected to his google account if this would help.

Bootloader locked, no root, no twrp.

Found a thread from 2013 that says i can boot to twrp without flashing to delete the pin data but im not sure if it works on this one.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] xsam123:
Can you access your dad Google account from a computer? if so, you can use Google Device Manager to remove the PIN/password of the device, but I'm not sure if doing this will erase the data. Also, you should contact Google for a solution, considering that isn't unauthorized access, and have a good reason behind. There is a form to contact them. Sorry for your loss.

Hi,

Thank you for your condolences.

I tried to lock the phone but it wont let me change the password.

There is a message. You already have a screenlock on the phone so it wont be changed.

The link you gave me also only let me get access to the account but not the phone.

Any other ideas how to get access?
