Hey guys,

This is my first post but i have been doing a ton of reading since i got my fuze and have flashed many different OS's and have had a great time doing it. I have stumbled upon a little blip though. I flashed to NATF's v3.1 and ran removehiddenproxy.cab i was prompted to soft reset so i did. Now i keep getting a popup saying my device is going to power off every minute or so!!! this is still happening even after i flashed to a few other roms to see if it would get rid of it! i've dug through some info but so far havent come up with anything. Any ideas on where to go now? the exact prompt is "Power will be turned off, and you may loose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?"

It's not a rom problem that I can tell.

My stock rom does the same thing from time to time.

I installed Energy rom to see if that would help but it still did it.

I put the newest rom from htc back in in case I have to take it in for repair, and it's still doing it.

I have no clue why it does it. The first time it did it, draining the battery seamed to have stopped it. The next time it stopped after 6-8 hrs on its own. This time who knows..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdwrrzmm:
Something like this appears to be happening to me as well, though I just can't use my power button at all for 8ish hours. I am using energy rom.
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
I have my device rooted and with twrp.

I want to delete some files that belong to the /system partition, but it is set to read-only. I have tried many different things but nothing has changed his condition.

Looking at the twrp options I realized that from the file manager I can delete things, but the partition is still in read mode.

I don't understand what's happening, or what I can do so that what twrp does, it can be done normally from a normal file manager.

Greetings and thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Twrp mounts system partition so it can read&write data

if Ur android version is 7.0+ so dm-verity will block any user changes to system "partitions" -- I meant to say partitions here, but any changes u do to every partition using twrp is applied, whatever mounting/system is easy using adb
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
My phone has Android 6.0.1.

I suppose there is some way to achieve what you say.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Okay

There is no Dm-verity then ;)

But stiiiillllll have to mount system as rw ( read&write) using adb and pc :)

Just get adb and fastboot tool and drivers and then tell me
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
I tried to convert the partition to rw, but it still doesn't change its status.

mount -o rw,remount /system

Do I have to do any more steps? Restarting the device does not update the status
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Restarting undo changes bruuuuuuuuuuuh
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
I didn't restart it, and the status still doesn't change.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Try modifing using another file explorer and mount as rw
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
It's very strange to be honest, I tried to delete a file with the adb shell, but it still gives me an error saying that the partition is read only.

[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Remount as rw then try

I think there is an app that mounts system as rw , try zarchiver, when u go to system folder, a button that says R/W will appear, click on it and it will mount system as r/w , btw try also to remove the file using that file explorer (zarchiever)
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
I tried this, but no, it still doesn't work, zarchiver doesn't even give me the option to delete.

I don't understand why from the twrp recovery I could delete some files, but it is very complicated.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Go to zarchiever settings and enable root options and settings related to root and developers

Dm-verity / system of phone allows modifications from recovery:)
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
Even with root permissions, the rw button still doesn't work, there must be some way from twrp I guess.

[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Bro

RW button is NOT here 😒

It is a floating green circular button on the bottom right corner
[General Questions and Answers] RenzoMag:
The problem is solved by flashing a custom rom, the partition was still read only, but with the corresponding commands it let me do what I wanted.

I suppose it is some problem with ext4, I read that in stock ROM it is impossible to mount the partition in rw mode.

Hi everyone!

I'd like to change an app icon. I have both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business installed on my device. Since the icons look similar, I'd like to change one of them to avoid confusion. I would prefer not to change the launcher, and I don't want to root my device. Is it possible?

Thank you!

[Xiaomi Pad 6] Martin William:
Hi

I got the tablet and I see sites in the net say Xiaomi Pad 6 has GPS and others say there is no GPS . Which is correct and how this tablet able to see my location correctly in google maps ?

I have 33W charger for this tablet, Can I use higher wattage charger ? what the spec of this charger should be ?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Resync:
it has no GPS, its just trying to get your location via wifi. (or something... you can try without wifi it wont work)

the non pro cant do more than 33W
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Martin William:
Thanks @Resync Yes I think google location service using the internet . Not bad.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] dominiksr:
You can use larger charger. In theory, this does not affect the device and it charges at the fastest indicated maximum speed. I usually charge with a lower wattage charger to extend battery life.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] mr_fatman:
Devs, do not enable fast charging on Crdroid:

To all those who're complaining about fast charging, consider not flashing Gaaps as it makes the battery life 1.5x ( Because of absence of Google tracking and spying). Any custom rom retains 90% of it's functionality without Gapps. For the remaining 10% use another phone( considering all tablet owners must be having a phone) Also the smartphone brands in the rat race of fast charging but it's better to slow charge the device as it prolongs the battery health.

BTW just installed crDroid and I'm loving it! During initial setup I choose not to share telemetry but now had a change of heart but couldn't find option to enable telemetry.

[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
I have my XPERIA for one week now and I am really impressed though I am kinda worried by its battery autonomy. Truth is that I play with it all the time and I had not the chance to understand how well it will perform on standby. Unfortunately all this week I am charging my unit at least once per day and hearing at reviews that on rigorous testing it lasted at around 2 days, got me worried (maybe I have a faulty unit).

Yesterday I was playing with AE Button Plus, (wonderful app) until I saw one option to bind a key to "Uptime information". In this screen you can find various information about battery status, voltage, when it was fully charged last time, total uptime, uptime forecast, etc.

The most surprising reading was "Current" in mA (milliAmperes). As soon as I saw it I started taking measurements on various occasions.

My results are as follow (all measurements in GSM and not 3G):

Idle with screen off ~50mA (not in standby just the screen turned off)

Idle with screen at lowest brightness ~80-100mA

Idle with screen at full brightness ~175-225mA

WiFi enabled +200mA

GPS enabled +150mA

GPS + WiFi + Full Brightness + CPU processing ~600mA

My device gets quite hot (not uncomfortably though) with WiFi and/or GPS and cpu usage, should I be worried?

Of course I can't possible know if the readings are correct but they seem weird, e.g SonyEricsson claims about 833 hours which is about 1.8mA per hour but in my readings it is nowhere near that. On the other hand 50mA in idling will last only 30 hours which again seems wrong.

In any case even if the measurements are skewed we can have a comparison between XPERIA devices and usage patterns. So what's your Current readings and/or battery autonomy?
[XPERIA X1 General] spr33:
Could you possibly do a test with GPRS/3G/HSDPA enabled by themselves? It'll be interesting to see what the measurement is compared to WiFi.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
good job u doing here.. it will be good...

my X1 last at most 24hours on moderate usage.. this is bad
[XPERIA X1 General] scar45:
Hey Xavier,

I would say that your consumption readings are quite consistent with my X1. I used to have HORRIBLE battery life with it, however after many days of tweaking, I found 2 culprits that were causing my battery life to drop substantially, not letting me even get a full day out of it.

The 2 culprits are: S2U2 and FlexMail

- S2U2 used a fair bit of power, so I enabled SafeMode (set to "1") and that helped out big time. I don't think that SafeMode is a bad thing per say, as the only downside is that the clock will update once you turn the phone back on (i.e. it will 'jump' from the previous time to the current time, takes 2 seconds, no biggie at all)

- FlexMail was enabled to use IMAP IDLE. I'm sure this is the case with any IMAP IDLE e-mail client, as I've heard the same issue amoung iPhone users. It is also important to note that if you use FlexMail, each folder that you enable IDLE for will open and maintain it's OWN connection. Therefore, you should only enable IDLE on the folders that you REALLY need (I only have it on Inbox + Junk Mail). Again, this could be the case with every IMAP IDLE client.

To fix the FlexMail issue, I wrote a MortScript that runs all of the time and checks the current battery level, and whether or not FlexMail is running. If my battery is above 80%, FlexMail will run, however if the battery drops below 70%, the script will kill FlexMail, or not let it start until the battery reaches 80% again.

If anyone is interested, I can most likely release the script for download, as it can be tweaked to support any program/process.

Now my X1 will last about 2 days on standby, and my AEButton + Uptime counter actually shows that the device enters true standby. With FlexMail/S2U2 SafeMode = 0 running, it would never let the device sleep, and my Uptime was the same as when my phone was last soft reset (the counter just above).

If the phone is truly entering Standby (and not just turning off the screen), you'll notice that your Uptime counter is lower than when you last soft reset, proving that the phone really did enter standby.

Hope this info helps you guys out. Took me about 4 days of trial and tribulation to figure this out!
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
Thanks, at least this is reassuring for me that I don't have a faulty unit. Does your unit get warm to the hand whenever you use WiFi or GPS?

At some point I want to write my own application which will measure voltage and current and make a complete log of usage patterns, something like a battery benchmark utility (ala Rockbox).

I want to add that AE Button Plus Uptime information is a good way to monitor the charging current on the X1, many members report poor charging times with PC USB ports, with this utility you can be sure how much juice your X1 is receiving. The official charger from SE is rated at 750mA which is on par with AEB's measurements (around ~680mA for me). I also used a USB charger rated at 1000mA but I didn't got more current out of it compared to the official charger.
[XPERIA X1 General] voydac:
I have X1 from few day's.

Information about current power usage is great think in HTC powered devices (my previous device don't have it). I make little search for more effective use of it, and most usefull app's i found are:

BattLog 0.2.3.130 - homepage

Worse look, but win as most usefull witch great loggin feature. Log example -> View attachment 139857

View attachment 139852

acbPowerMeter - homepage

Do what is visible on picture, simple nice app.

View attachment 139851

PowerGuard v1.2 - homepage

Look most interesning, but crash when my device go sleep, i don't know is it don't like X1, or installed on my X1 as .cab .NET_CF3 - worth to mention, but as last position - UPDATE: after hard reset or on .NET CF3 cooked inside (not instaled as cab) work fine.

There are other tools for read power usage (like HomeScreen++ or mentioned before AE Button Plus), but this on the list monitor battery usage as they main function, and all are free.
[XPERIA X1 General] tsourisg:
You can try out also the program called: battery status. It has an option for powerdrain shown in the today screen. By the way the power consumption of my X1 in mA is similar to yours. See you at myphone.gr
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
~50mA at idling is strange. here is my readings with the same app:

94mAh with bright screen. Gps, wifi and bluetooth off and with full 3G reception

80mAh half bright screen

47mAh when I wake it up from standby directly after it has entered it

after a while in standby it will go down to ~18mAh

right now my battery is at 50% and the phone was fully charged 2 days and 3hours ago

wifi +200mAh seems to be correct though.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
Thanks for the recommendations, these can be quite helpful and accurate, they will save me a lot of work.

Thank you for your input, see you there indeed! :)

Hmm your readings are low. But lets clarify a bit:

94 mA with full brightness or moderate? (it would help to be specific) If in full brightness then I have quite a difference, maybe it has to do with you using 3G instead.

I get 80mA with lowest brightness.

We agree on ~47mA after standby. I must clarify that I got ~50mA just by turning the backlight, not by going completely on standby because I thought that in standby AEB stops monitoring correctly.

I must test more and see if I can get such a low reading

Thanks for sharing your measurements.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
bah sorry for double posting...

Yup you are right indeed, AEB will still get readings and momentarily (just before the backlight skews the measurements) I got a reading of 20mA after standby.
[XPERIA X1 General] shotif:
I'm pretty concerned about my X1's battery life, comparing to what I read on forums and blogs about the X1, I have very poor battery life.

My phone lasts hardly a whole day after being charged on the wall charger the whole night, with only moderate use: ~10 mins of talking, 10-15 SMS-es, ~30 mins of wifi internet access, ~10 mins of BT, 20-30 mins of pics/videos and no GPS usage. When I used GPS, my battery went down from 100% to 50% after only 35-40 mins of usage... I'm afraid to even try listening to music cause my phone is probably gonna die extremely fast...

I have SPB Pocket Plus and Pocket Digital Clock installed and running on my today screen. I am also using the Yota phone dialer and contacts. For BT I have the hc4 ObexInbox addon.

In fdcSoft TaskMgr i noticed shell32.exe constantly using 0.8-2% CPU.

162 mA with backlight set to minimum

170 mA with backlight set to 20% (no auto-adjust) - all readings below are in combination with this setting

193 mA with wifi on and connected to AP

175 mA with BT on and not connected to anything

202 mA with BT+wifi

263 mA with GPS in use

90 mA just after waking the device from standby before the reading gets refreshed (this seems extremely high).

I hope someone has an idea why power consumption is so high and battery life so low, because currently my phone shut itself down before 20:00 every day, after disconnecting it from the charger at 06:00, and that is extremely bad (only 14 hours usage).
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
Does your unit gets warm to the hand if you leave it at idle and do nothing with it after some time? I had the exact same problem once. I would fully charge it just before I sleep and when I woke up it was down to 50%. When I touched it, it was warm and not metal cold like other times.

It was very hard for me to find the culprit, in the end I saw that G-Alarm was causing it (after setting an alarm). When I finally gave up using this program I never experienced the "warm after idle" effect. Other people will comment the same for other programs such as S2U and AEBplus (I haven't used the first and I am using AEBPlus since I bought my XPERIA and haven't seen this effect).

About battery readings, while on idle (power button) you can get readings as low as 18mAh. You have to start the AEBplus uptime screen then push the power button. Wait some minutes and the press the power button again. It should show momentarily a very low current usage.
[XPERIA X1 General] shotif:
I decided I'm gonna hard-reset my X1 today and then constantly monitor power consumption while restoring all the applications I am using currently, hoping I'll find the cause of the fast battery drain. If I don't find the cause and I've got a faulty unit I can screw myself cause I live in Croatia where consumer rights and warranty (especially for cell phones) practically don't exist... :(
[XPERIA X1 General] dingolino:
Hi Guys,

I also had battery uptime problems.

For me on my X1 I can see the following:

- AE button plus is using a lot of battery on the X1 (I love this application and on my privious Kaiser no problems at all)

- Quick Menue

- Wktask

both have also a negative impact on the battery lifetime.

I am using now X1 Button (from this forum) to assign buttons.

With sk Tools I was changing the boot sequenze in the autostart folder and it was making a difference for me on my X1. At the moment I am making sure that the panelmanager is startin 1st and X1 Button is one of the last things I am starting.

In the beginnin I had only 20-40% battery left at the end of the day

At the moment I have 70-80% left at the end of the day for my avarage usage and of course this is different how much I am using the phone.

From my signature you can see the what rom I am using at the moment.

Maybe this is giving you some thoughts in what directions you have a look.

Best regards,

dingolino
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
For those that are worried about battery drain and are using AEButton and/or S2U2...

I used to get huge drain problems with both these apps installed with my battery only lasting about 13 hours with light to moderate usage, I uninstalled them and then could use my phone for about 4 days with mod to heavy moderate usage... I re installed AEButton but this time using 2.6.6 (was using 2.6.5 previously) and could still use the phone for about the same length of time similar usage... I then re installed S2U2 but used 1.45 (was previously using 1.37) and the battery still lasts considerably longer than previously, I have noticed no drop in the time it last actually... so if your battery seems to discharge quickly this could be a reason...
[XPERIA X1 General] shotif:
After hard-reset I finally get the expected battery life and I'm very happy :)

The only things I did not install this time are Yota Phone and G-Alarm, do one of those 2 is to blame for the high battery consumption. The phone lasted a day of moderate use and a day of little use (10 mins of talking, 6-7 SMS and 20 mins of wifi internet) and the battery is now at 70% which is great.

So, anyone having battery problems and using Yota and/or G-Alarm, one of the first steps is to remove those, it will probably fix the issue.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions :)
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
When I had the problem I was using YotaPhone too. It was a new program and I was very suspicious of it. After many tests I saw that this was not to blame. Even to this day I use YotaPhone with no battery problems. For me the culprit seems to be G-Alarm.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] davidsson:
Trying to get an app to not shut down (want it to be able to send data when it needs to)

I have removed battery optimization set it to auto start allows notifications data via wifi and mobile data. in security locked the app (have two locked) this can work for a day tuyp then the transmitted data ends as frequently as before then when I check the app again the autostart has been turned off how do you prevent this? Is it because there is too little frame? In my second redmi note 10 pro with 6 ram I don't have this problem.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Are you on an MIUI ROM? The MIUI Optimization setting in Developer Tools might be the culprit.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] npeo:
Also check out https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
The problem with just disabling MIUI Optimization means you intentionally lose all the things it does in your MIUI ROM. I got off MIUI ROM's partly because of that thing.
