[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] KoalaGremlin:
Same here as I texted this. I've getting SOT like less than 4 hours per day even I've restricted battery on some apps and restricting background data. However the issue still persists.

Kinda agree with the Google Service Update thingy since after some play store or updates installed and the battery drainage is just absurd.

Also throttling the CPU a lot and temperature is higher than usual, almost achieving 40°C in just usual social media, browsing and working.

Worst is that I've reboot in safe mode, and multiple restarts and is still draining battery vigorously.

Hope some software or google updates can solve this issue quickly.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] arturiu:
From my experience (see my previous post) i had the problem for about 1 week and then it went away.

And lately, I'm getting the best-ever deep sleep battery consumption during night: ~3% .

I did not tweak any app battery policy in settings and I'm using stock A12 latest update.

You may have some rogue app update that is not in tune with the correct power management posture.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] weecious:
I have the same issue. It seems to have been triggered by poor network connectivity or something. The first time I had this issue, I had to solve it via software repair. I'm not keen to go through the process for the second time. I have shut down and restarted my phone several times.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
There have been a number of posts on Reddit recently about massive battery drain with Sony phones.

Here and here and here and here

Seems like it's a Sony Vs Google problem

I have had the same huge battery drain, with my phone going from lasting two days between charges, to now getting hot and lasting just 15 hours

When I look at running apps, I see Gooogle Play Services has 2 or 3 instancnces. Some with 13 services. In the last two weeks Play Services has used 825Mb of data. Feels like my phone has become an AV transmitter.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Shilddop22:
Hello guys, today I noticed that the battery is finally back to normal. I turned on auto-update for everything and let it update whatever it needs to at the very first place.

Hope this kind of **** don't happen ever again.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] arturiu:
I don't have auto-update and that issue only lasted a few days
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] tree13key:
i use usc rom and cell phone can not work
[General Questions and Answers] ChriMo:
I'm a fan of Google-free Custom ROM and use mainly crDroid on Xiaomi and Motorola devices.

However because some Apps (not needed daily) require a locked device and Google Android system with all security features I am looking for a secondary smartphone which can be used for such Apps at home over WLAN, no mobile phone monthly payment plan is planned so just the cheapest possible SIM to receive SMS and maybe have a little 4G-Traffic, because some Apps require that for security functions. Other features are reliable battery and not too small screen (6.2"+)

Because buying a new Pixel for over 300$ is not a good option for this use case (even my main phone did not cost much more) I am looking for the currently good devices which have Stock bloat-free Android, foreseeable updates and do not cost a lot. So either low-mid-range new smartphones or used ones.

While there are some helpful sites about such new and also expensive devices (Pixel 7, ASUS ROG 6D/Zenfone 9, Moto Edge 30 Fusion, ) https://www.androidauthority.com/best-smartphones-stock-android-844672/ I have not found a lot comparing affordable devices like Pixel 6a, Nokia X30, Nothing Phone 1 or even cheaper used options.

Is there a list of which brands have stock android devices?

Thanks for any alternative mention.
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
I was going to suggest running a GSI but that would require unlocking the bootloader. Are you aware that most apps can still be used on unlocked + rooted devices? You aren't going to find anything at a fairly low price that is going to continue to get updates for the forseeable future. Pixel 6a will no longer receive updates beyond July 2025.

If you run a GSI on a Treble compliant device you can potentially continue to get updates far into the future, especially if you pair it with a Generic Kernel Image. But, again, this would require using Magisk + mods in order to pass Play Integrity so you can use GMS dependent apps, as well as possibly other solutions such as Shamiko if the apps you use specifically detect root
[General Questions and Answers] ChriMo:
Thanks. While not deeply I tried the Magisk/Mods route but would like to avoid it because it gave constant update problems from the "security" checks of the Apps I would use (Banking, OTA generation, public ID services). Meaning the troubleshooting is nagging. It is a shame that for common citizen services both public and by private firms you need a smartphone completely tied into the Google or Apple ecosystem. An alternative is often not anymore provided!

I am ok if the device has no more updates in 18-24 months. So maybe a cheap Moto like E40, G22, G31 would suffice. They all have A11 preinstalled, not sure if A12/13 upgrades or only security updates are provided. Since the Cam, 5G, RAM, Memory, etc. are all not so relavant just the system + Apps and usage (maybe including fingerprint option) is relevant.

I will even try if an old Moto G5 Plus Android 8.1 (via Update) works - unfortunately the battery is damaged/unreliable on that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] stayupthetree:
Down from the power button on the phone there is what I can best describe as a cutout? It is bugging me not know WTF it is.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
I do not have such thing at all... Maybe it is region depended.... I'm from europe and i do not have this mmWave antenna cutout.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lexcyn:
mmWave is only available in the US region.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mrxyzl:
Hmm weird, so other region model has less function compare to US.

Nice one Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
This is not Samsung's fault. DIfferent regions use different kinds of 5G frequencies, so there is no use to put the hardware in the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lexcyn:
Exactly. The only other country to implement mmWave 5G is Spain. Canada will be following in 2025, but until then, it's useless unless you frequently travel to a country with mmWave (and even then mid-low band 5G is way more prevalent anyways).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lil_kujo:
Yes I can confirm I'm in the USA and I do have that same cutout. Which I noticed yesterday after almost two.weeks.of having the devices 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Talderon:
I noticed it right away and according to teardown vids, it's the mmWave for 5G here in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
This is the 5G mmwave antenna in USA & Canadian models , not on the rest of the world device
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Canadian model doesn't have it.
[General Questions and Answers] Black Antitoon:
I swear I have used the Search tool, but lots of topics have HSPL in their title, and I weren't able to find any FAQ topic talking about that.

Everybody here talks about SSPL, HSPL, how to use them and so on. The only think I understood is that to flash custom roms you need HSPL, and for official roms SSPL is "enough". Could anybody tell me something more and explain me why do we need this stuff to flash a rom and not just run a .exe on the device which could do everything automatically?

I also didn't understand what the Radio is. I thought a part of the rom which manages the GSM/3G antenna, but I think I am wrong.

Thank you in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] RizwanKhan:
okay

spl = Secondary Program Loader. Think of this in the same sense as bios on a pc. (it sets where your system boots from, intialises sub system process etc)

sspl = soft spl (this allows you to flash another spl or hardspl).

hardspl = hard spl .. basically it allows flashing of any rom. It protects you from bricking your device. If you have a bad flash it just forces the phone to load into bootloader, from where you can flash another rom using pc or storage card to get your phone working again. Using a hardspl you can flash any carrier rom without cid unlocking your device first.

Radio = you are correct about your assumption as to what a radio does :).

Now if you are flashing your carriers official rom than you don't need any of this stuff but different carriers set their cid in their roms so only phones that have their cid can flash those roms ... now if you like the wwe htc rom and want to flash it onto the tilt you will first need to hardspl your device or otherwise you won't be able to flash the rom ... it will time out with an error telling you invalid vendor id.
[General Questions and Answers] Black Antitoon:
Many thanks! :) Now it is much clearer! Just one more question: why do people care so much for the radio and post their radio version to their signature? Is the radio revision so important? Why is it not just part of the rom?

Thanks again! :)
[General Questions and Answers] RizwanKhan:
well radio is definitely important ... i mean if you have a uncompatible radio you will loose sound, camera, connection etc on your phone. Reason people list the radio they are using is basically to let others know what radio is working for them on the rom they have. This way if someone else doesn't know which radio to use with the rom than can use the radio they have listed. Radios are location dependant. Some radios give better reception here in states while others give better reception somewhere else in the world.

Most of the time chefs will include a radio with their rom, but some leave it out so you can choose the one that works best for you. Just a keynote to keep in mind when selecting radios is that wm6.1 roms need wm6.1 radios and wm6 roms need wm6 radios. Also DO NOT flash a radio that is intended for another device i.e a rapheal radio onto a kaiser (this will brick your device). There are exceptions to this rule. Also you should get your phone security unlocked before proceeding with flashing various kinds of radios. This will save you from getting stuck with a radio that locks itself to the device (thus rendering itself unchangeable; no matter how many times you flash another radio you will be stuck with that radio) an example of this is "the radio from hell" which alot of people in the kaiser forum got stuck with and weren't able to get rid of it until "FrankenKaiser" came along.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, it does.:)

Another term I read is Jump SPL. What's that?:confused:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] rprussell:
I'd been using Pixel Experience for a while, but in the past week or so my 4G signal strength has gone in the crapper.

I live in the USA and I'm using "Mint Mobile" for my carrier - seriously everything seemed fine until very recently.

I reflashed with PixelExtended 5.5 but it doesn't seem much better.

Thoughts? Insights? Am I missing a firmware?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
OS should not affect modem performance whatsoever, although some builds may have different values for signal strength as displayed in the UI.

What I mean by this is that your connectivity chipset reports a signal strength value - let's say, -85dBm - which is translated to however many bars on the signal strength meter. So, one build might have zero bars at ∞ to -120dBm, one bar at -119 to -110, two bars at -109 to -100, etc, etc...while another might be different: zero is ∞ to -115, one bar is -114 to -100, two bars at -99 to -85. This means that even though the signal strength doesn't change, what the UI shows might change.

You can use *#*#4636#*#* to access the testing menu, which should show you the signal strength in dBm. If you compare this from one ROM to another, you'll probably see that it's the same, even if you don't have the same number of bars.
[OnePlus 11] Jpierznik02:
I just recently bought the OnePlus 11 on Preorder and received it the 16th of Feburary, I have been using it in the Quad HD resolution with the 120hz for reference. It seems to lose a battery percentage about every 7-8 minutes while using it which seemed normal to me, but I lost about 8% battery overnight and I want to know if that is normal or if I have something going on that needs to be addressed. I've only had the phone for about a week and I don't know if it's background apps that are doing this or if I'm just freaking out to much about it, but I just want to make sure my new phone is performing as it should. Any help with this would be fantastic thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] gossipninja:
Have an a32 5g and it was working fine, it recieved the android 13 update OTA via tmobile and once rebooted the screen wouldn't respond.

I could plug in a mouse and use that, but no touch response.

Factory reset (using mouse) didn't fix, so I tried "repair apps" in recovery mode and it worked, but once you restart the phone, it goes through "app optimization" and the screen once again stop responding to touches.

I have used odin to reflash the update, and same behavior (good for initial boot, then stops)

Even If i reflash and see the welcome screen while it is in a working state and restart, once restarted it doesn't register touches so it isn't likely a third party app.

I even downgraded to android 12 via odin and same behavior.

I'm at a loss as to what is going on, clearly something software wise is goofed up from the update and is "fixed" by "repair apps" in recovery, but then gets "optimized" on the next boot and breaks again.

Any help would be appreciated.

AICP

Android Ice Cold Project

AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago (2012) and since then has evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community that you can find!!!

Until Android Lollipop, the ROM has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM.

With the re-brand of CM to LineageOS (LOS), we became LineageOS based with some tweaks from AOSP and then changed to be based on the "Ground Zero Open Source Project" (GZOSP) for Android Pie.

We changed again for Android Q-S with a base of AOSP repositories and some additions from LineageOS for device-specific repositories.

If there are any bugs we will sort them out if it concerns our codebase. This ROM isn't LineageOS supported, so there is no need to report errors/bugs to them!!

After 1 month with with AiCP and Lawnchair 12.1 dev alpha everything works fine with my Redmi 7A. Only GPS doesn't work properly! ...and it's pretty strange.

GPS test apps (e.g. GNSSLogger) do work.

But e.g. Google Maps doesn't. It would find a GPS location initially and then loose track after 30 seconds, eventhough it seems to be accessing GPS location (green indicator up in the nav bar) all the time.

Other location based apps can't find GPS at all and dont seem to be using the devices GPS either (no green indicator).

All apps have permission to use GPS.

Any idea what's wrong?

Well. I can't tell without proper logs. Also, which gapps package are you using?
[Redmi 7A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tetrasync:
I'm using NikGapps 13 ARM64 core ver. 20230311. Clean flash right after AiCP.

A dirty flash with the most recent version didn't help.

Seems like a problem with fused location provider and therefore with Gapps, That's because apps using GNSS work flawlessly. Other apps which are relying on other location providers fail to get or sustain gps location. GPS Fix app can get a gps location fix for 'Andoird GPS Provider'. For 'Andoid Network Provider' and 'Google Play Services' there's no fix

I'll try another Gapps package. Let's see...

What kind of log would you need? Sorry, no experience with logs so far, just very little...
