On my first full charge i have 6hrs screen on time and 40% left still cycling the battery for maximum performance. It would be interesting to see what apps can be disabled safely and any other battery saving tips people have here.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Although that's decent battery life, it CAN and SHOULD be better. I'm using greenify too btw
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
Not many with the phone yet lol lets wait and see i got almost 9hrs screen on time first charge.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
I tested by watching youtube videos with bluetooth connected sometimes and this was my screen on time

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] miguel.jackass:
i had 8.30h of screen time with the huawei p30 pro 4200mah battery, a little disappointing for a 6000mah battery
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
That's not bad bud, although android system is definitely draining battery judging by many screenshots
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Only 8 hours???? I got 11 hours with mixed usage, mainly on WiFi, over 2 days, with 9% left. No Bluetooth usage tho. Your battery is concerning
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
That's a good result for the p30. I get around 10 hours on my p40 pro plus. The rog 5 has issues
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Dont know whether this is happening only for me. I also tried manual battery calibration by draining the battery and charging till 100 after that i even deleted batterystats.bin file manually. Still 8 or 9 hours max.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Should i change to any other modes in specific? Like i am currently in dynamic mode. Should i tweak into advanced and reduce anything? Or you guys are having a sot of 11 hours in dynamic mode only?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Where's this battery.bin file ? From YouTube you should get way more SOT. Look on gsmarena, YouTube test is north of 13 hours

I use dynamic, auto Refresh rate, GPS, Bluetooth, auto brightness all OFF unless I need them. I use durable mode from 20%
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Battery stats.bin file will be in root/system folder.

Ok bro i will try with location and bluetooth off. I use have them turned on all day
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
How do I access the root folder?

Also in location settings make sure you have WiFi scannibg off (it will say 'search for WiFi networks, even when WiFi is turned off') you'll find that in location menu. And if you go to developer options you'll come across something which says "Mobile data always active" turn that off too as it wastes battery for no reason.

Last but not least, go to Zentalk forum, Google it, it's Asus help forum and create a thread on there explaining you have high battery drain from Android System. They will fix it if we all report it
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my my phone. With Root explorer or any other explorer with root permission you can access the folder.

I will disable that mobile data in developer options.

Thank you
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
I fully charged to 100% left overnight unplugged network standby took 2.5% and Android system was 0.2% and lost all together a total of 3% battery overnight. I think it needs to sleep better than that.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
I updated to latest ww global firmware but mine is tincent version if i factory reset will it still stay on ww firmware? i think i need to do a reset. Also how do you do a hard reset via recovery on this is it safe?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
It should lose 0% overnight. Android system is the culprit. No you won't lose WW after hard reset and regarding factory reset, I did it through settings as don't know how to enter recovery
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
Well unless someone reports it they wont fix it so best people report in as stated above ASAP.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Ah okay thx

I've already done it. I urge everyone else here too, go to Zentalk and create a thread about rog 5 battery drain and any other tissues you might have. I've mentioned battery life, volte not working and I've asked for a option for 90hz refresh rate.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
I have done as you told and now i can get a screen on time of over 10 hours with mixed usage. Thanks for helping me. Now i am noticing that Android system is consuming battery a lot. Will support you guys in zentalk as mentioned.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Wow that's great 🙏 glad I was able to help!! Feel free to donate to me of you like 🙂

Android System bug will have to be fixed with a Ota update so yes go to zentalk and create a thread :) if I find a way to further increase battery life I'll post on this thread
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
For me mobile network is the highest battery drain I use 4g
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
I found my network drain issue it was the aluminium case band I had on the phone a word of warning they may look nice but they block huge signal and in my case my network usage was my highest battery drain. Since the case if off now i have huge signal improvement now its a shame as the case was really nice and offered great protection for the phone but that signal battery usage was crazy lol hope this helps others who dived for the metal case and having a similar issue. I have also noticed if you drop down to 3g signal its much better than 4g for some people its best to check the signal dB your getting with 3g and 4g for me 3g is less draining on battery and better signal than 4g. You can switch back to 5g as and when you need it :) The photo below was taken with the Asus Rog 5 :)
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Wow good find 😎😎 I have a rubber case so don't have the signal battery drain :) but seriously good find!!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jutley:
Still I would say the best way to use this phone is without a sim card use a backup phone for calls then use the rog5 just as a gaming device for the best battery life out in aeroplane mode battery saving mode etc when not in use
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Thanos88:
Rather just sell it off then and get a black shark 4 which is cooler, has better speakers and next to no software bugs. Asus screwed up with the Rog 5
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] gouen1995:
try checking your battery life with BatteryGuru, i've a post here. Bad battery on arrival
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] sama631:
You guys are getting 10+ hours screen on time, I'm barely getting 14-16 hours on total usage and only 3-4 hours screen on time, I'll write on Zentalk also.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Unfortunately, only a handful of the magnetic and aluminum cases actually warn about that. Some have added special holes in the case to offset it, but you're not likely to see them on "specialty" devices.

As long as you know about the warning that it may discolor or even damage the body of the phone.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
How / why should the Black Shark discolour itself or hurt itself? Could you please explain that?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Not itself. The phone. I believe it's because it uses one of the blocks similar to the DIY heaters / coolers placed very close to the phone.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
What other phone? He was talking about replacing the rog with a black shark 4... I'm confused
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I misread it as the Black Shark 4 cooler. Eh, it'll be useful info for someone

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] thieftime1980:
Hello Maybe someone write a link to the thread where it was described what and how to turn off to extend battery life I know it's on the forum somewhere but I can't find it right now, thank you

Hi folks,

I bought a SM-N975F device and after checking the serial number and both IMEI numbers with *#06# ....

I get the information by online check that the device behind all numbers will be an Apple iPhone 🤦

Well, the label on the back of the device shows different IMEI's and after checking this online I get the response that this IMEI are Samsung numbers.

Has anyone an idea what I can do now?

Cheers,

[General Questions and Answers] teabot33:
Hi there,

I did a recent reinstall of LineageOS (Lineage 18.1 - 20210501) on Xiaomi's Poco F1. I chose to encrypt the device after the installation.

Now, I am faced with a strange error, when I reboot the phone it will come to the interface where I can enter the decryption passcode, but immediately shut down. (A white overlay appears with "Powering off" or similar.) This happens, when the phone is running on battery or connected to power. Only, when the phone is connected to my computer (with ADB running in the background, but no idea if that is the cause) will it power on. The phone decrypts fine in TWRP in any case. (TWRP shows me a pattern input field instead of a passcode field, but I can use the shell to decrypt it.)

My question is: What should I do from here? Should I do a full backup, flash the device with a different nightly build and hope for the best? Or is there a way to troubleshoot this?

In principle I could also carry my PC with me at all times to be sure, but I would like to avoid that ;).

This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??

Thank You
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Applepear:
I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.

Adb shell

Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>

Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>

Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.

Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.

But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Hi All!!:)

I have a little problem.

I don´t want my sim contact showing in phonebook.

( I get double post of contacts in phonebook becuse I allready have phonecontacts showing).

How do I disable sim contacts from showing in phonebook??

Have tryed Advanced config to disable sim contacts, but after it resets the phone the task have not been saved. I dont know why.

There must be a way to disable them throu windows.

Thanks for all your help

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] seijicastell:
Im planning to use a 18W charger to lessen the heat from the phone and to increase the life of the battery from using the 33W brick. Is it okay to use a different charger brick?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] jeryll:
yes, I got this phone less than a week ago and charged it two or three times, and didn't use original charger yet, so no worries, it'll work ok
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ZainBilq:
Same here. I also use other charger and did not use 33 w charger yet. It charges fine without issues but a bit slower. It is up to you to decide to use 33 w or lesser w charger.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
It won't effect anything except if you want fast charging.

If you can software disable fast charging it doesn't matter which brick you use.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] william tanaya:
really? how? afaik there's no such setting in miui
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:

I think I would rather have your dilemma.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Rohan651:
My phone doesn't charge with 33W even with original charger,

So many users also complaining the same that it isn't charging fast enough

I use "battery charge limit" magisk module to limit charge limit

Or

You can use accubattery app to set alarm at specific battery charge limit
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] viettoanhp:
I use zmi charger 18w with pixel rom. Still recognized as fast charging!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Make sure the battery temp is at least 82°F before you start charging. I get best results with a start temperature of 85-95 F.

Keep the temperature under 100F while charging. Use cooling if needed. Fast charging will warm up the phone fast especially in high ambient temperatures... if will need cooling. A fan and/or damp microfiber cloth helps. Keep it of direct sunlight🤣

Keep the screen off when charging as it will completely skew the charge curve.

A quick 2 second look doesn't seem to hurt though. Likewise I use bt and Poweramp to listen to music while charging with no perceivable impact on my Note 10+.

Play with it and see how it behaves...

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Vaizen:
Hello fellas I'm really pondering about purchasing the Poco x3 pro. I'm currently a proud and happy user of a galaxy note 9. I bought it in 2019 when it wasn't Samsung's flagship anymore, but my good old one plus 3 was giving me bad battery life so I went for a note 9 because at the time it had everything I wanted (high end processor, big screen without notch, headphone jack, good cameras) and the price was right after one year of its release.

Right now my note 9 is still in good condition, even the battery is still at 85% of its capacity, but I'm thinking about the future. Probably this year the battery will degrade more and the poco is at an amazing price and it can carry me on for the next few years given that the hardware is newer than the n9.

So what do you think I should do? What would you do if you were me?

I'm concerned about the x3 pro cameras if they are am upgrade or a downgrade and maybe it's longevity.

And of course the screen is going to be a downgrade from de note 9 amoled display, but in the long run although amoled displays look amazing I'm always worried about the degradation and screen burn in, so I would be less concerned about using black wallpapers and using brightness with care.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Abdullah.Csit:
Reasons to consider the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro:

Higher display refresh rate – 120 Hz

Comes with 1160 mAh larger battery capacity: 5160 vs 4000 mAh

Shows 15% longer battery life (112 vs 97 hours)

42% better performance in AnTuTu Benchmark (485K versus 341K)

The phone is 2-years and 7-months newer

Has an ultra-wide angle camera lens

More recent OS version: Android 11 versus 10

Has a built-in infrared port

Reasons to consider the Samsung Galaxy Note 9:

The rear camera has a 2x optical zoom

30% higher pixel density (514 vs 395 PPI)

Supports Qi/PMA wireless charging up to 15W

Optical image stabilization

Waterproof body (IP68 classification)

Delivers 23% higher maximum brightness (660 against 537 nits)

Super AMOLED display (versus competitor's IPS LCD)

Supports Dolby Atmos sound technology

The front-facing camera can record video at 1440p

I don't think it's would be an upgrade! it's just an moving :)

I think it's better to go for Poco F3 that's would be upgrade.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] saudahmedbass:
F3. But cameras would be a downgrade just of that ois and 2x
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ChriMo:
If headphone jack (and microSD like for me) are of high importance the choices are not wide. Most premium models ditch those features. However I would not consider PX3P an upgrade if not any of the reasons listed by @Abdullah.Csit are of primary importance. PX3P is a cheap SoC power house, but the cameras are average but nothing more. Redmi Note 10 Pro is viceversa: good camera (and Amoled) but slow processor.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] michael-ellis:
Hi together,

just as a disclaimer, I don't really have knowledge in this field (custom roms etc), but I'm willing to learn and understand what is going on.

I have the Moto G5 as my daily phone with the unofficial lineage 17 from the xda-forum. It's not rooted. Now i saw that the g5 got official support for LOS18, so I wanted to upgrade. However, I had some important files on my phone, so I wanted to do a backup (with twrp), which i did on a different sd-card than the one I was using as storage. Or so i thought. The upgrade itself wasn't really a problem, at first i forgot to wipe the phone, but i realized right after the installation, wiped it accordingly to the instructions and did the installation again. The phone booted without a problem and everything seemed fine. I encrypted the phone accidently, i thought it was the lockscreen pin. But it wouldnt recognize the sd i used as storage on the previous version. Because i had pictures, music etc on the card, i wanted to restore my backup to use the phone as before. Well... to my surprise, on the sd i used to back up i couldn't find it, but strangely there were now two versions of a backup i made some months ago, only different in the timestamp (not the date) in their filename. I didn' know if one of them was the one i made, or if i had made two backups back in the days. I was confused, but i chose on of them at random and restored it. It seemed to have worked, it booted to the familiar lockscreen i set up a while ago. But then: it wouldnt accept the pin, even though i knew it was the right one - at least for the system i have used the same morning. I had to delete the lockpin.db (or how it was called) via twrp to acces the phone again. The former uncompatible storage sd now got recognized and worked, the phone showed all the apps i had before, i was still logged in in all of them etc. But: i made a photo, wanted to look at it in my gallery app, and i briefly saw my albums - then they vanished and only the photo i had taken was there. So now all the pictures, music are gone from the sd. Some funky things are different, the swipe directions for the "recent apps" and "back" buttons on the fingerprint sensor are switched and i cannot find the menu to change them. That's the story.

Here are my questions:

The backup i made - why wasn't it called with the proper date and time? Or have i deleted it somehow due to my wiping mistake? but it was on the sd... ?

I now assume i restored the old backup with a different lockscreen pin, and thats why the pin i thought was correct didn't work. But some apps which i hadn't installed at the time i made the backup where there and with all the recent data. Doesn't that mean the sd has some kind of image of the system or rather the apps themselves stored? but why are the pictures and the music gone? Is there any chancce to get it back? Can I upgrade to LOS18 and use the same sd as storage without the need to format it?

I'd like to learn what the mechanisms behind all these happenings are and would be glad if someone could explain it! Thanks in advance!
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Twrp backups do no backup personal files - This includes music pictures and documents. These must be backuped up yourself to a pc, external device or the cloud.

TWRP backups do backup the following for example

System - your current rom

Data - apps and their data of your current rom, phone settings

Boot - Kernel

Never restore data on a different rom. The data contains apps and settings for your current rom and restoring this on a different rom will likely lead to a bootloop or an unstable device. This is why you had issues with passwords.

In regards to personal files - if you have formatted data of an encrypted device then it removes encryption and thus formats internal storage. Anything on this will be lost.

If you are changing roms you need to format data and then install everything again via the playstore (or manually via apk)

You can use 3rd party apps that backup apps and data but I advise against this as what it restore may be unstable on a different OS

As with the twrp date I assume twrp assigns the correct date. The file would be lost if you backup up to internal storage and your formatted data. I don't know what happened to it if you backed up to an external device.
