[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
OneUI built-in Device Care app doesn't show full details of what is draining battery. It fortunately shows the Screen ON Time (SOT) though.

My phone's battery drains badly on standby. It drains anywhere between 1.5% to 2% per hour on standby if I leave all radios ON. If I turn OFF WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, Location, etc. then the battery drain reduces to 0.5% per hour. There is no unusual drain when I'm using the phone. If I'm continuously using the phone, I can get 6 to 7 hours SOT.

The built-in battery stats doesn't provide full information on what is draining battery, and how much. For example, it doesn't show system functions like Android System, Android OS, Display, Wakelocks, etc. It only shows 3rd party apps installed.

If I add the % consumption of each app shown in the list, it won't even add up to 50% of actual consumption. If you see the attachment, the sum of the individual consumption adds up to about 20% only. My battery is at 59%. So I have no idea about what used the remaining 21% (standby drain).

Assuming that all details are available in the system, is there an app that can simply read this info and show it on screen? I don't want battery 'monitor' apps that run in the background.

I'm interested to know if there is an app that would simply read this information and display it when launched, and won't run in the background when closed.​

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk_LA:
Gsam battery monitor, better battery stats or Battery guru. But i think that they all need to keep a background service, which doesn't cause any noticeable battery drain though
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
Yes, they do.

I seriously doubt this. It is just that they don't show up in the stats.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk_LA:
From my experience, there was no difference in idle drain battery usage with and without any of these apps. Checked for some days, not only a few hours.

I am from India. So the Motorola edge + 2022 that is sold in Brazil and India is same hardware version. But there might be changes in the software due to local carriers based on the country we are in. Just today received android 13 update and I have installed and updated the same. But since then I have been noticing severe screen flickering in dark parts of the screen based on content present on the screen . Please help me with fixing the issue. Is anyone facing the same issue or am I the only one ? Cant find or see any blogs or websites that are talking about this issue at all in the internet(if I am wrong , forgive my googling skills).

Only bug I've seen is the modem. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway, but the signal strength

isn't as good.

Oh, I did have another bug. The app bluemail was crashing when it opened it. Emailed the

failure report to google & the app developer. Less than 24 hours later the app developer

sent me a link with an updated beta app that fixed it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AngelNine:
It is the biggest bug party I have ever seen.

Couple bugs that happen to me currently:

- Online banking app no longer works.

- Home screen is just glitching and all apps disappear.

- a lot of Status Bar Symbols missing/ or glichting

- Screen can't be opened with fingerprint sensor, for whatever reason.

- And yes, many apps are not updated for Android 14 yet.

Probably I must be the lucky one that everything is going well! Battery for me seems longer and it doesn't warm anymore when watching videos or dimming my screen as during A13 Qpr... the only issue so far for me is the usb-c audio not working.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Maybe i'm lucky too, but i'm having no issues other than when i sometimes go to compose a new sms, the app (google messages) freezes and causes system wide freeze until i lock the screen with power button and then it's back. Hardly ever send sms these days anyway. no biggy

Since i have had my phone i never had got the file transfer to work between my pc and my phone which is so annoying since i have 1tb and I cant access it. I have even called support and they remote into my phone even they never got it to work said it was a compatibility issue can someone help me out here my current setup is windows 10 on my pc adb and pc drivers installed. lattes software update on my phone installed. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ggrant3876:
Do you have developer options enabled? Since I've enabled them the only way I can get usb transfer to work is with developer options enabled. If I turn it off, I can't connect to my PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jutley:
yes developer is on i cant even get the transfer option to show in status bar dev option on or off? do we need to install anything for win10?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Usually, it's plug-and-play, so you wouldn't need any dedicated drivers for this.

Have you double-checked if your cable and ports (on the PC) are OK?

Can you try enabling ADB Debug from the developers option and see if the PC recognizes it in ADB mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jutley:
Finally i changed to another usb cable got the option this time but then had to go to device manager and update the driver mtp choose from list and all set up working now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ShaboohShoobah:

Try deleting the old device from your Google Account.

Leave only the new phone in the profile.

Reboot and try logging into the S23 Ultra computer again.

That's how it worked for me.

Good luck !

Curious if anyone has any experience good or bad about rooting these two tablets, if you have I'd love the method!

I haven't seen any methods, conversations, twrp for the iPlay 50 or the Blackview Tab15.

I understand these are not mainstream tablets and won't receive mainstream attention however I can always hope. A tablet like this suits my wanted specs and budget.

Shame, hope the iplay 50 (not pro) gets some roms and root, it's such a good budget device. Got one with 4/64 and T618 at 82€ shipped. It's insane for this price is so good. Very good device for browsing, reading, watching movies, just not gaming but I don't want it for gaming either.
[General Questions and Answers] perez6991:
Did you read my reply? it doesn't work. I have tried many utilities without success. There are various threads of people experiencing the same result. The iplay50 uses a different (new) bootloader from all other iplay models, incompatible with available tools. Fastboot text displayed on the iplay50 is different compared to what is shown in other threads and devices. Fastboot isn't even accessible using hardware buttons, only via ADB. That is how locked down Alldocube has the iplay50.

I emailed Alldocube about a solution, they never replied. I give up on this tablet.

[Moto G40 / G60] luccee:
I got one Moto G40 Fusion, I thought it supports 5G when I purchased it. At that time I thought I'll get 5G support later through official updates.

But still we've not go any update for 5G support 😕.

In phone information I do see NR option but while selecting no 5G option.

So are we going to get update for 5G or not ??
[Moto G40 / G60] JustanAnonymousGuy:
There's no way we can get 5G on Snapdragon 732G chipset since it doesn't support 5G.

As far as I know, 5G is a functionality that should arrive with the hardware itself. If it is not present in the hardware, you cannot add it with an update. You should buy a device which has 5G functionality... For example, 865+ or 778G+.

Yes. Look for it in lock screen settings.

[MX Player] theking25:
HI,

I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra and i have very laggy videos on mxplayer with HW+ encoder.

When i change it to HW it works better but i can't increase the volume more than 15, it works only with HW+.

With my old S20+ it work without problem.

Is there anything i can do to make it work ?
[MX Player] puckhead89:
Got similar problem with Pixel 7 Pro.

I play videos on 2.5 speed. HW decoder is unplayable on that speed,

with hw+ the audio and video goes out of sync.
[MX Player] 小林 卍:
same here, Galaxy Z Fold 4
[MX Player] virtualdj:
Same issues, seems that sometimes the frames are going slower than normal... Probably not laggy, but not fluid neither.
[MX Player] 小林 卍:
update 1.63.6 didn't fix it... 😔
[MX Player] virtualdj:
I wrote their support an email but - apart from the automated message - I didn't get any answer.
[MX Player] 小林 卍:
any news on this?
[MX Player] virtualdj:
Still not fluid, unfortunately.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
@virtualdj @小林 卍

The maximum achievable speed depends on the hardware. So, this may vary from device to device.

For example, if your device is capable of decoding 1080p HEVC videos at 60fps, you can enjoy seamless playback of HEVC 1080p / 30fps videos at a maximum speed of 2x. Anything beyond that may result in such issues as the decoder built into the hardware/system may not be able to decode the frames at the required rate.

I hope this clarifies your questions.
[MX Player] virtualdj:
Well, I doubt that a Samsung S23 Ultra (with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) cannot decode a H264 1080P@6030fps video without stutter!

The same file plays perfectly on my previous Galaxy Note 9 in HW+ with the same version of MX Player.

Sounds like a software issue, to me.

The OP is saying the same and I can reproduce it... too bad that MX Player cannot handle it.
[MX Player] 小林 卍:
we are talking about fluid playback at 1x speed, which even my new Fold 5 (also Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) doesn't deliver with HW+ codec.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
@virtualdj @小林 卍

Could you please share more details about the video on which you have faced this issue along with a video recording with us at support@mxplayer.in? If possible, please collect a bug report quickly after noticing the issue by tapping the file icon at the top right corner of the contact us option in the app and share it with us while contacting us. This may help us investigate further.
[MX Player] virtualdj:
Actually I already shared the bug report about three months ago, but I didn't get any answer apart from the automated one. It was the support ticket #MX-2387830.

I've prepared a test video with the same characteristics of one of the video that had the issues (a 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, AVC/H.264 video, nothing special), you can download it from here:

https://mega.nz/file/GQ0XmDQa#nkYgsy7YPeGjU0Iuf32dANN77_2tLBucY7PPohERRGc

Maybe @小林 卍 could do the same test on his/her device.

I tested it in MX Player Pro v1.68.4 both via streaming it from SMB and locally on the device. It's the same! When using HW+ sometimes the video stutters and if you notice the red dots flying to the right part of the video they are not fluid. Sometimes also the frame counter stutters, but it's more sporadic and difficult to replicate.

The same file played with MX Player Pro with HW+ on an old Galaxy Note 9 plays perfectly.

I've tried to record a video of the screen but it is seems like the problem is not visible during the video recording... so I didn't send it to you.

Anyway I sent you the bug report with id #MX-2428390.
[MX Player] Pronabesh Stark:
Still no reply I guess.. we have to use a buggy useless video player which we paid for.
[MX Player] theking25:
I think it will not be fixed
[MX Player] virtualdj:
Yep, unfortunately.
[MX Player] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Some companies need to start realising that having a solution to customers (in this case, to play videos) it's not enough if there isn't a proper support. It's not only about their profit (yeah, because having to pay for the app on the smartphone and pay again to use on a Google Tv box, makes all the sense... 🤦🏼)
[MX Player] odkrys:
Is there any analysis being done on this issue?

I am experiencing this problem with the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, and this problem occurs when playing HW in a third-party video app. I reproduced the problem in mxplayer, nplayer, and VLC.

A hint of this problem is that the stuttering occurs periodically and appears to be related to the refresh rate. Here is a screenshot recording the frame drops using perfdog.

Frame drops occur every 33 seconds at 29.97fps+30hz and every 16 seconds at 59.94fps+60hz. I hope that if the developers see this, they will be able to get some clues.

I downloaded YouTube videos and experimented with various codecs and containers, and the h264 and av1 codecs seem to work only if they are in mp4 container.

hw+ always drops frames and so does the vp9 codec.

hw playback

h264 mp4 OK mkv frame drops

vp9 mp4 frame drops mkv frame drops

av1 mp4 OK mkv frame drops

hw+ playback

h264 mp4 frame drops mkv frame drops

vp9 mp4 frame drops mkv frame drops

av1 mp4 frame drops mkv frame drops

A workaround is to install Galaxy MaxHz and set the refresh rate of third-party video apps to 120hz. (Paid version)

Starting OneUI6.0, installing/updating the app requires doing it via ADB using this command:

Ensure file path matches the actual location and filename of the apk file.

I have installed it now, but i can't do anything with it.
[MX Player] odkrys:
You can change default refresh rates globally. If you change it to 60-120hz, you will hardly see any stuttering in the 29.97 frame video. For 59.94fps video, you need to set it to 120hz, which can be done in per-app settings and is a paid feature.
[MX Player] theking25:
When i set it to 60-120hz it is always 120hz.
[MX Player] odkrys:
It works fine on my tablet.

Anyway, check if there are any stutters in mxplayer and if it now plays smoothly, use the per-app settings function.
[MX Player] theking25:
No stuttering but always 96hz in 25fps videos.
[MX Player] theking25:
I have set it from 48-120hz and now i have 48 and 60 hz on videos.
[MX Player] odkrys:
Adaptive refresh rate is applied as a multiple of the video fps. That's not strange. When 23.976fps video is played at 48hz and 29.97fps video is played at 60hz, stuttering is not visible.

However, when watching a 59.94fps video, if 60hz is applied, stuttering occurs, so I am telling you to fix it at 120hz.

If you download a YouTube 60fps (59.94fps) video and play it, doesn't it play at 60hz? If it plays at 120hz you'll probably be fine. I don't have an s23u so I can't test it.
[MX Player] theking25:
I mean i'm fine with it now, 48hz on 30fps videos ways better than 120hz or 30hz.

Is the per-app setting a paid feature ?
[MX Player] odkrys:
Well, if it's okay with you, then it's okay. If you're worried about battery consumption at 120hz, there's no need to be. perfdog has a function to measure battery consumption and I concluded that there was no difference in battery consumption depending on refresh rate when playing video.

Per-app setting is a premium feature and I remember there was a trial period of a few days after the first installation. Premium can be purchased here.

[MX Player] theking25:
In videos there are no difference, but the phone would have always 120 hz when using, and that make a difference.
[MX Player] odkrys:
So I said to set only mxplayer to a fixed 120hz in per-app settings.
[MX Player] theking25:
To do this i must buy the app otherwise i have always 120hz or stuttering.
[MX Player] odkrys:
Yes, that's right.

If you want to set only mxplayer to a fixed 120hz for battery life, you will need to purchase the app.

Otherwise, if you want to use the app for free, you can set it to 48-120hz in the global option, but stuttering will occur in the 59.94fps video.

If you rarely watch 59.94fps videos, just use the free version.
[MX Player] theking25:
Already buyed it ;)

But when i set it from 48-120 in free version, sometimes it stocks at 120 for all the phone and thats a problem.
[MX Player] odkrys:
There may be bugs.

I don't touch the "default refresh rates" feature, I only use the video app at a fixed 120hz in the "per-app settings" feature and have never had any problems.

Anyway, if you don't have any stuttering in mxplayer anymore, use it well.
[MX Player] 小林 卍:
setting the app to 120 hz helped, thank you!

I wrote the devs a mail about this. Let's hope they fix it
