Guys

I dont know about all of you but I have spent the best part of a few days trying to be tolerant with the appalling battery life.

to set the scene: -

- it is a native orange build (upgrade from them) it has exchange activesync emaill and I have tried it with and without push activated (10 minute polling when not constant)

- It has one other e mail account - Hotmail, which is connected to sync every 2 hours

- it has NO other applications of any kind, it is not used for GPS, browsing etc (a deliberate ploy for me to see if the basics work) and the battery life is a complete joke, if anything it is worse than my previous WM devices. a full charge which is disconnected from the mains at 10am in the morning means I am down to a single bar by around 6-30pm. in this time I have checked mails on occasion, had about 30 min worth of calls and thats it basically

I, like many people on this forum am a seasoned user, but I would expect a minimum of 1 working days use (say 12 - 14 hours) and this is just not the case.

I will be returing this phone under my 14 day policy, but as one last try, I just wondered if anyone had something really obvious I was missing? all of the settings are 'out of the box' and i have used tweakHD but I must confess I do not want to have to mess about with the settings too much and quite frankly I dont see why I should, unless this type of performance is considered normal these days!

any thoughts guys?

regards

Kerry

I'd do the same too if I were you. A complete rundown of the battery on not so heavy usage in 8 hours is definitely not standard. Might be defective. Your battery should last you at least 14-16 hours on that type of usage. Oh and one other thing as an after thought, you mentioned the phone was new. Did you run the battery in a couple of cycles yet? A complete charge and a discharge of about 4-5 cycles sets the battery in its paces. Fyi.

It has had three full charge / discharge cycles in the last 5 days, it wasnt difficult given how fast the battery ran out!

[Android Head-Units] _Stormy:
I have had WireGuard, as sourced directly from Google Play, installed on a Mekede M400 Android Head Unit.

Originally it worked perfectly, until after an upgrade/update when I noticed that the WireGuard GUI won't fire up anymore.

After uninstalling and reinstalling, I found that the Mekede Head Unit only allows the

- Camera and

- Storage

permission to be toggled either on or off for WireGuard.

Being WireGuard, like packets & network related, it would surely require the following permissions at a minimum which seems to have "disappeared" ...

- Network Access

- VPN Connection

- Run in the Background

- Modify System Settings (Optional)

- Access Device Storage (Optional)

Any advise on how to get into the Android GEARS to make it work again would be greatly appreciated.

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] BenjyTec:
I recently was suprised to read that the Google Pixel 4a (non 5G) will not be receiving Android 14, because its update period seems to have expired just one month too early.

I was away from the Custom-ROM scene for some time, and heard about project treble. Now my questions are:

- Is it realistic to get a stock Android 14 image running on the Google Pixel 4a?

- Are there any experiences how much effort it might going to take?

- Can you summarize what the steps would be to achieve that?

Thanks for your comments and answers!
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] gentle_giant:
check this link for future reference: tada..

As for your questions respectively: no, don't know, it's complicated. Sorry but can't help you there.

GSI seem to be the way to go. In theory this should work but in reality it's not that simple.

Anyway, with A14 just released it will take at least half a year before one of the devs will come up with a solution.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] icantlogin:
Pixel 4a is officially supported by LineageOS. Once LineageOS moves to Android 14 (probably in half a year or so), the 4a will also get it. You can move to LineageOS or any other supported ROM right now to still get monthly AOSP security updates.

I created this account cuz i stumbled upon issue that I haven'y been able to find the solution in this forum or anywhere. Which is why evertime I play games on android 10, the minimize it, open other app e.g gmail and switchback to the games I played it restart from the beginning. This issue never happen in the previois device I owned despite having fewer RAM, meanwhile my poco X3 NFC has the biggest RAM, 6GB than any other previos device I owned.

Welcome to XDA world of developers 👨‍💻🌎

I suggest you clean ram usage before opening apps , try to enable app task lock ( that lock when you press a nav. bar button that shows the recently opened apps , select app icon or long press on it and press "lock"

I suggest also to put the games you use in the Game Turbo app !
[Introductions] newtype.00:
Thank you for the warm welcome! Oh yeah regarding your suggestion, i tried that already. Clean ram usage has 2685 MB of ram available, isn't that enough to just play casual games like amongus, minimize to twitter and comeback to amongus just to know that the game restart and I have to reconnect. And regarding app lock somehow in my device and android version it doesn't have that padlock symbol, only split window, kill and you can see in the images i attached

Don't worry about the ramdisk, it has absolutely nothing to do with whether you'll be able to root or not. It just determines HOW Magisk roots your phone.

Very sorry, my old Note 10+5G (1st Oct 21 Security Patch / Android 11 / One UI 3.1) that had all normal functions of root/magisk/TWRP recovery broke, and I'm now back trying to root a refurb (1st August 23 Security Patch / Android 12 / One UI 4.1) and I cannot get root to stick at all or behave like my old phone, I've followed several different guides and am not getting it...

Could you please elaborate on this method? I've spent 3 days going around in circles and just want permanant root as I used to have with this device. Cheers (y)

See the Magisk Installation Instructions most notably the "Unlocking the Bootloader" section and if you have problems report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sub Atomic Specialist:
Legend, cheers. I been out of the loop for almost 2 years and my brain is struggling to absorb all the info again lol, thank you!

edit:

OK, read everything over clearly, double checked I was doing things correctly and yep; a reboot wipes root...

I have bootloader unlocked, warranty tripped, am following setup exactly. I get root on first boot, can modify and grant root all good. As soon as I reboot, root is gone.

If I reflash the patched AP Magisk along with the other files, the system/data is intact and root is regranted, but I can't do that when I'm not at my computer.

Canot gain permanent root. Am going round in circles now. I don't remember messing about like this last time and don't recall Ramdisk making things more complicated, has this Ramdisk thing changed with new vewrsion of Android 12 or Samsungs launcher? I'm stumped...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] bassam.nabil:
This can be done in 2 ways

First way u can install custom kernel . Most of them support that

Second way is to install lsposed then install firefds app (choose version according to ur os) Inside of it in system section u will find an option called"Set Default Reboot Behavior to Recovery" , turn it on then restart from magisk . After the phone restarts u can use the regular ppwer menu and it will restart keeping the root.

I am running n975f note 10 plus android 12 latest update and everything is ok

As I don't live near him, it has to be very stable and without bugs. I don't want to have to install different cameras or updates every few days, weeks.

I want to install the rom and it just works with good performance and at least 1 day of battery life.

Handed down my Redmi Note 8 to my dad and running stable for the past year:

- European Firmware from 12/22 - I have the international/global version but its running fine w/ TMobile US. The European firmware is newer which is why I went with it. Posted about it here

- TWRP 3.7

- CrDroid 9 (now at 9.9)

- NikGapps (Core) for Google Apps

- Rooted w/ Magisk (now at 26.3)

One quirk i notice with Magisk root is that if I update CrDroid every month, it will bootloop after the required update reboot and I would have to boot into TWRP, clear the cache and restart then it boots back into to OS fine.

[Off-topic] Random Android User:
And you know what's even worse. CAR BATTERIES. They really gotta improve battery tech otherwise your car battery will last only 5-10 years which is atrocious.
[Off-topic] V0latyle:
Well...It's not that simple.

Starter batteries have to provide a lot of power for a short period until the engine's alternator takes over. Lead-acid is currently the most economical chemistry for this due to power density, even though it's a very old technology, and has some drawbacks. There aren't many battery types that could provide such a high current load while taking up the same amount of space.

There are a few reasons why lead acid batteries don't last long in cars:

Charging periods - They generally don't get enough time to recharge if your commute is less than 30 minutes. An idle battery self discharges at around 5-7% per month; to prefent sulfation (buildup of lead sulfites on the plates) the batteries must be maintained on a "float" charge

Parasitic draw - Starter batteries are made with thin plates for maximum surface area to increase that battery's current capacity, as starter motors can draw 600+ amps. They're specifically designed to provide high current over a short amount of time. Small currents over extended periods cause the thin plates to disentigrate, reducing the surface area available.

Temperature - Batteries can freeze, causing physical damage, but they don't like to overheat, either, and the charging voltage needs to compensate for temperature. The ideal float voltage is 2.25v per cell at 25 degrees C; this should be reduced by 3 mV per degree in temperature rise, and the charging rate should be reduced in cold temperatures. Automotive applications are harsh - the battery is under the hood with the engine and is subjected to high temperatures, 65°C or more. The charging system doesn't adjust for this, so your battery is being charged at 13.8-14 volts when it should probably be less than 12.7.

Despite all this, they're still the most economical solution; other types would be too large or too expensive. Lithium starter batteries cost 5-7x more than lead acid.
