CM10 29/12 & 30/12 MB526 charging and signal problems - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I update my phone's CM10 every time a new release comes out. I've experienced abnormal battery draws and signal faults, but this time, something really disturbing happened.
After I've updated to Quarx's CM10 29/12 build my battery was instantly showing 100% charge. Funny thing is, it never changes. I thought to my self 'Oh well, better wait for it to discharge completely and then it'll reset itslef', and boy was I surprised.
Not only can I not unplug it from the charger without the phone shutting down, I cannot also plug to the computer.
Now, I've managed to take the SD card out and copy the 30/12 and the 22/12 release onto it, hoping that at least one of them would work.
The 30/12 release did not solve the problem, the 22/12 however, fixed everything.
So any of you guys encountering this same problem is advised to revert back to the 22/12 release and have his Defy plus operational again.
P.S. I won a Defy Plus and cannot vouch for the same solution working for any other phone. Please accept my apologies for that.

thinks its charging....

so i've noticed multiple times today (just got it yesterday, rooted) that the charging indicator flashes on and off. this keeps bringing it out of standby. although sometimes the screen turns on without it saying charging but that seems to be a known issue.
but whats up with the charging flashing
full reset and its still doing it
actually i think it has to do something with rooting
i used this http://androidflip.com/how-to-root-acer-iconia-a500-with-stock-honeycomb-3-1/
but i unrooted and uninstalled and its not doing it now....
any other root method for 3.1?
Strange
Never had this issue on my a500 - but have the exact same issue on my Samsung Intercept with a slightly damaged charging port - after unplugging the system will still show as charging and offer to mount as an external storage device - even though it's not plugged into anything.
Had the random screen on when I was still on a 3.0 based rom - have you registered your tablet with Acer and upgraded ota to 3.1? Can also manually flash 3.1 update.
best of luck!
i just updated my last post,
but yeah im on the latest ota 3.1 in the US and registered

(Edit: the method you linked to looks like the same method described here at XDA. May not solve your problem)
well cancel my happiness. did a reboot and now it fully thinks its charging. no flickering.
even plugged it in and unplugged and still says charging.
this time i plugged it in and rebooted. at least the notification went away
edit: and its back.
really strange....
May want to just return it and snag a new one if that is easy/possible.
After your full reset did you do any Modding/install any apps? May be possible something you are running is causing the issue, but I am really stumped on this one.
Could always get cwm running and reset the battery cache, but I am pretty doubtful that is gonna do anything.
same problem for me here.though I did not root my device yet.it shows charging with no charger plugged in.also recognized that my battery indicator sometimes remains on a certain percentage and hangs.after a restart it shows the actual battery level.I am on stock rom 3.0.1...maybe I send it back tomorrow.because this is really enoying...
yup. mine just started doing the hanging at one percentage til reboot
don´t know if it´s software or even hardware related
the fact that we have identical problems makes me think software

[Q] Little issue. [Batery]

Hello there guys, i just got my MS2 a week ago.
I got the latest MIUI 1.10.8 installed on it, altho, i got a little issue.
Sometimes, within no apparent reason, my phone stops showing the battery %, temperature and CPU clock.
Does someone knows what it can be? I know thats not software, since everytime i turn off the phone>remove battery>plug any usb powered>put battery on>turn on, it goes back working normally.Any help would be awesome.
And, i saw many brazillians here. As well. Hello everyone, i'm from there too .
I had similar problem on this rom. I had to go back to previous version.
Thanks ncc for the feedback but, i found out what it is.
Is not the phone or w/e, its the battery, i got a "free" damaged battery xD
Almost bought another one, its coming on the next days.

[Q] Help! L5 keeps rebooting unless it's pn usb or charger

Hi folks, I have followed the forum for a long time, read countless threads and posts regarding all kinds of things, but recently I have come across a problem which I couldn't find any solution and then decided to post this.
A couple of days ago I was using my L5 E612 regularly and then it rebooted. I didn't pay it much thought, cause we all know android does that once in a while. The problem was when it kept rebooting. The phone reached the lockscreen, was on for like 1,2 seconds and then rebooting again.
I tried everything you can think of on different roms, kernel, hard reset, stock rom, and last try was replacing the battery, which didn't work as well. The phone only works when I plug it on the charger or the usb. If I leave it charging for hours, at night I can use it until battery reaches around 70%, when it reboots again and I have to charge it.
Hope you can help me!!
Thx
Probably should've mentioned, I am currently on cm11 with non-nfc oc kernel. Phone is rooted, cwm 6.0.4.8. The problem keeps happening despite the rom, gapps or apps installed.
Hey. It seems that you have hardware problem. Looks like a shortfuse to me, maybe some dust/water on the usb connector or mainboard? I would give it to service to check.
My E610 reboots sometimes when it is heated or when I keep it in tight pockets...

---------------------------
Sorry for my english.
That's my current thought on the subject, already searching for a place to get it fixed. I don't believe it's on the usb, cause that's the only time it actually works. I'd guess the mainboard is the problem

Battery drains like whatever...

I've tried two different ROMs but the problem with battery seems to be in two of the latest Roms one is near 2.5.4 (the latest one if I quoted wrong) and second one is X-note v4 and now v7 these are ones that happen to have battery draining problem.
It happens whenever i use camera and then close or get out of it and after an hour or so whenever i check all ic is my battery is dead. Is there some fix for this problem or are we stuck with it forever?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bump
It's a 4.4.2 firmware problem. This qq camera daemon makes phone hot and drains battery like hell. Sonetimes i have same problem: the only temporaly fix for me is to pull the battery out of phone for a few mins
I'm looking for proper fix is there any fix that can take care of this forever? You need not to take battery just restart your phone or max shutdown that will do the job till next time.. wonder what is causing all this and how can it be few of us only? Whilst the firmware is out in millions of phones in various varieties of phones...
We really need this fix if anyone has fixed this issue please share so others like us can benefit...
Thanks
Still looking for fix...

leeco pro 3 x727 shuts down after few minutes

This happens only when I install any custom rom...the phone works fine with x720 5.8.018s version...anything apart from that device will shut down every 2-3 minutes ...very strange behaviour ...any one has any idea ?
any custom rom , android 6 or 7 , AOSP or stock based, it will boot fine and after initial setup , it will work for 3-4 minutes and then suddenly device shuts down. .. when i boot it up again , same thing happens, in one minute shuts down.
if i flash 5.8.018s stock rom , everything works fine....and it doesnt shut down...
After device bugs, my phone finally was restored into x720 stock ROM (i have x720). On boot it worked below 1 minute and reboots. I had to do clean data. Also booting x720 ROM into x727 is not too good idea. Maybe you should try to do more wipes?

I did all the wipes i could , cleaned all kinds of data... it was US version 5.8.018s originally and i tried to flash Omni ROm first , and other ROMS , all had same issues, so i thought going back to the stock US rom , but since US version of 018s is not available anywhere, i went to chinese version , and it works perfectly , no reboot/shutdown...... I have used number of phones and installed 100s of ROMS , i have never faced soemthing like this...i hve even used leeco pro 3 before, with all custom roms and no problems.

Ok update...i downloaded x720 021S and 023S and updated using in build update option..(local update) , and it worked, 23S is working without any shut down...so i guess, it is problem only with roms flashed thru TWRP

Usefull information, thank you very much.
Nearly the same problem here: My X720 is only rebooting sometimes, but more often switching off directly (vibrates one time and switches off). While the phone is in that status, the battery is discharging. I can only reboot the phone by holding the power button for about 10sec or to TWRP. Two times I was rebooting the phone and some (not all) settings were restored to default - reflashed the rom... Another time rebooting the phone it hangs in the booting display, did not get it booted completely again - reflashed the rom.... Very strange behaviour and don't know why this happens.
But for about the last month, the phone is only switching off and I can reboot and use it for an unspecific time.
That all happens with several ROMs - currently I'm on ResurrectionRemix 5.8.5. This is the most stable custom rom I have tested, but anyways the phone switches off in irregular periods. Sometimes the phone is about a day alive, sometimes only a few hours, sometimes below an hour. When I'm playing HQ games I think the phones switches off much faster, but not sure.
I'm also not sure - I do not have used the stock rom really long after I get this phone (was CN 5.8.018s I think) - but my feeling is, that the phone was definetely more stable with the stock rom.
Now after finding this thread, I will give the stock rom another try. Would you be so kind as to describe the process of going to the stock 023S a bit more in detail? First flashing the 5.9.021S for the x720 ROM throught TWRP and after that using the build in update option (rename file to update.zip into root folder)?
Thanks!

You do not flash a 21s update twrp that may brick you.
You have to go stock and flash with stock recovery.
Their threads already on this.

Does anyone completely solved the shutting down issue on x720? I remember the same issue with the stock rom when i was getting the phone (5.8.018). but this rom could have been a shop rom, cant remember.
For me it seems that the issue happens more often whenever the phone uses more performance. Playing HQ games let the phone shut down after about 1-3min. doing nothing on the phone, it remains for about a day. Weird behaviour... will try to flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then a stock rom (no shop rom). hopefully it will improve the behaviour or even better solving the issue.
Sounds like a hardware issue. As for me, I have a couple of screen issues--I usually have my LeEco Pro3 Elite connected to a charger, and I sometimes don't use it for long stretches of time (say, 8 hours) because I have another phone as well. Once in a while, during those times the screen refuses to turn on. Sometimes the fingerprint scanner wakes it up, other times I have to straight up reboot the phone using the power button (I have to keep it pressed for two whole minutes for it to wake up the phone). Pretty annoying, dunno why it's happening. Could be a loose screen cable.
Now, if your phone is shutting down every few minutes no matter what, it could be a battery issue. I say this because I had a similar issue with an old iPod Color from 2005. The iPod would shut off every few minutes even when plugged into a charger. I changed the battery and it stopped shutting down.
Hopefully it's not a motherboard issue because replacing a phone's motherboard is never easy.

I don't think gameplay should affect the phone negatively at all. Especially a phone with a Snapdragon 821, a 14nm processor with efficient cores, for crying out loud. I play Fate Grand Order, a pretty intense 2D online game with 1080p graphics for 5 hours straight on my LeEco Pro3 Elite (Snapdragon 820) without it heating up at all.
Again, seems like a hardware issue because no phone with a Snapdragon 821 or 820 should be doing that. Especially while gaming.

Thanks for the information.
Could be possible... If I'm shaking the phone like a cocktail-mixer, it feels something loose inside it and this could be the battery of course which could be not fixed correctly. But I am sure, that this issue has also something to do what is happening on the phone currently. Sometimes I am going to bed and the phone does not move for 8hrs, it simply lays on the table. In the morning, it is shutted down. Need to hold the power button for about 10sec to restart the phone (usually hold 2sec to power on). Sometimes (not really often) it warm-starts automatically.
I think this could be also a memory issue or internal storage. Yesterday I was playing a game (Bowling by Jason Belmonte) and after 3min, the phone hung up, display remains on, no reaction on pressing the hardware buttons, waiting 5min... nothing happens. So I pressed the power button 10sec, phone seems to reboot normally, but it take a bit more time in my oppinion. Now after entering the pin, some phone configurations were resetted to default, but not all. Playing this came, it sometimes happened, that the phone switches off (with one vibration). Rebooting with a 10sec press and it runs again normally. This time phone hung up and some configurations were resetted to default. WTF?
Today I have played Hmmsim 2. Phone hung up again, pressing the power button 10sec, phone begins to reboot, but rebooting never finished (waiting for about 1-2hrs). Long Press power button (10sec) to try to reboot again - same behaviour, never ending ROM loading screen. Wiped to factory via TWRP and the phone reboots again, but all configurations lost, like freshly installed rom. OK, whatever, using the google backup for apps and so on... when installing the apps in the background, the phone reboots about 3-4 times, app installations not finished. Cancelled and shutting the phone down to TWRP, where I am now...
What I will try to say is, that whenever the storage or memory is used to much or something like that, the phone begins with that behaviour.
And now I am thining about what to try next. I think I will try to flash the stock recovery via TOOL ALL IN ONE then flashing a stock rom like 5.9.023S.
I am still not sure of a hardware issue...

The easiest way to tell is if the issues were occurring before you flashed TWRP. Were they? This is why you always wait a couple of months before modding your device. Otherwise you'll be stuck in a loop of doubts. By this I mean you'll be convinced that the issue has to do with your custom ROM or kernel rather than your device's hardware, but you have no way of knowing for sure because you never used the phone enough on stock firmware.
I was like you... my unmodified Zenfone 3 had a screen flicker issue and a headphone jack issue that I was convinced was a Nougat problem. I upgraded from Marshmallow to Nougat immediately after getting the phone. After a lot of research and posting threads on the Zenfone forums, I realized I had a hardware issue on my hands. The screen had to be replaced for the flickering to stop, and the headphone jack had been gimped to 0.3v by ASUS for some reason. I quickly sold the phone and got my LeEco.
Here's a thread I made on XDA about my screen flickering issue. It's a hardware issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/ze552kl-screen-flickering-lowest-t3660643
I've learned some important things from that experience: it's easy for your brain to trick you into thinking you've got an easy-to-solve software issue on your hands, when in reality you've got a hardware issue. You need to start making arrangements for a replacement device and get video evidence of your problems to show to the seller ASAP. Because that behaviour isn't normal. Now I hope you do have a software issue on your hands that the stock firmware will solve, but who knows. Be prepared for anything.

Thank you very much!
I am sure that the phone was doing the same on stock rom, but maybe fewer times. I have flashed a stock based rom now (Turbos mini 5.9.023s) and the issue still exists, but now the phone reboots normally more often than going into edl mode (emergency mode). I have found an old thread here on XDA and the issues described there sounds nearly the same. Finally the user in this thread also had hardware issue.
I believe also in a hardware issue, but I am still not sure. If I am looking to other threads regarding similar problems, there is always some regularity in the behaviour or the reported issues. In my case these rebootings (usual reboot or reboot to EDL mode) are definetely very unregular. On the TURBO Rom, these reboots happen definetely more often when the display is off and the phone sleeps. On the TURBO Rom, playing games seems to be helping lasting the phone a bit longer, the completely differnce to ResurrectionRemix Rom, where the phone was lasting longer when doing preferabely nothing. The issues are so inconsistant and this is making it hard to believe, that this is a hardware issue. Why the hell is the phone behaving different on every ROM - if it's a hardware issue, the occurred problems should have some regularity.
As I didn't have an OTA update option on the stock rom, I'd found out that this could be a "shop rom" (5.8.018), which is not the best choice nor for the first month(s).
I'm from Germany and I do not really want to return the phone to china or east asia for repairing (bought at banggood). This could take a very very long time. Changing to a new one could be also difficult because there are hardly any more devices out on the market and I need to return it for the change too.
But I am slowly at my wit's end and before these issues are making me more and more crazy, I will accept a problem with the hardware.

If your issues were occurring from the moment you got the phone, you know it's a hardware problem. Your seller sent you a defective phone and you should at least try fighting for a partial refund. If you paid through PayPal, open a dispute. If you paid with a credit card, ask for a chargeback. Now, the shop you bought it from might ban you for initiating a chargeback, but it's probably worth it. Or you could just cut your losses and move on. Maybe donate your phone to a dev who wants to try something crazy. :good:

Oh snap, it's a Banggood phone? I bought my x722 from Banggood. No glaring issues other than the screen one so far, but this does worry me for the future. How long have you had it?
This is the problem with Chinaphones. They're cheap, they've got good specs, but you can't guarantee quality. Especially with now close-to-defunct brands like LeEco. If you're still okay with Chinaphones, get a Xiaomi next. Probably the most reliable Chinaphone brand out there, next to Huawei. And try to buy from an official source. I heard The Solution Shop in Europe sells Xiaomi phones for cheap (?). And always remember to record your unboxings and document all issues from now on.

Admittedly I'm not sure at all if this issue was already present after starting the phone for the first time. One of the first things I have done during the initial setup wizard was using the integrated data transfer app by LeEco (scanning a QR code with the old Xperia Z, downloading app to transfer data to the x720). This app establishes a Wifi direct connection between both phones to transfer the data like apps and other stuff. This transfer process takes at least 6-7 hours and during that process I am sure that the phone was not rebooting a single time. Maybe a specific app or background process of an app causes this irregular rebootings. I have not testet this. I have installed the most common of my apps also using different custom ROMs later.
On the current ROM (Turbos mini 5.19.023s) I have now looked into the last_kmsg.log file severel times after the phone was hard-rebooting (not to emergency mode - the phone is switching down to emergence mode really rarely since I have flashed the stock based ROM) to debug for a kernel problem and the power off reason seems to be ""Triggered from PS_HOLD (PS_HOLD/MSM controlled shutdown)". In the log file I could also find some "kernel panic" entries. So I have a little gleam of hope that the issue is not a hardware problem. I have to test a bit more with the stock recovery/ROMto gain a better knowledge of the issue. I think I will post this into the ROM topic to ask a developer.

Now, the shop you bought it from might ban you for initiating a chargeback, but it's probably worth it. Or you could just cut your losses and move on. Maybe donate your phone to a dev who wants to try something crazy. :good:
Oh snap, it's a Banggood phone? I bought my x722 from Banggood. No glaring issues other than the screen one so far, but this does worry me for the future. How long have you had it?
This is the problem with Chinaphones. They're cheap, they've got good specs, but you can't guarantee quality. Especially with now close-to-defunct brands like LeEco. If you're still okay with Chinaphones, get a Xiaomi next. Probably the most reliable Chinaphone brand out there, next to Huawei. And try to buy from an official source. I heard The Solution Shop in Europe sells Xiaomi phones for cheap (?). And always remember to record your unboxings and document all issues from now on.

Finally - I got it working without any problems now!
Happily it seems to be not a hardware issue. I have flashed the Grossoshop ROM and Recovery via a provided .bat file. This .bat file has flashed the recovery first via fastboot, then the ROM via fastboot. This Grossoshop ROM was based on 5.8.018s I think. Then I have updated TWRP Recovery to the latest version via TWRP itself (flashed the new image). Then I have flashed Mauro's 2.2 (which is based on 5.9.023s) and it is running great! Super performance, no extrem battery drain, no reboots, all is working (except the chinese design downloads as I cannot create a Leeco account from Germany). But now I'm satisfied. :good::laugh:

Usefull information, thank you very much.
Nearly the same problem here: My X720 is only rebooting sometimes, but more often switching off directly (vibrates one time and switches off). While the phone is in that status, the battery is discharging. I can only reboot the phone by holding the power button for about 10sec or to TWRP. Two times I was rebooting the phone and some (not all) settings were restored to default - reflashed the rom... Another time rebooting the phone it hangs in the booting display, did not get it booted completely again - reflashed the rom.... Very strange behaviour and don't know why this happens.
But for about the last month, the phone is only switching off and I can reboot and use it for an unspecific time.
Thanks!

My x720 has done the same to me a couple of times now, Vibrates once and turns off and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds longer to turn it back on again which is odd.
The battery was charged over 50% % 70% at the times it happened and I wasn't even using the phone, It was just sat on the table in front of me.
I didn't have any problems at all until a few days ago when it first shut down.
I'm using Oreo - AICP 13.1 from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/rom-aicp-13-0-pro3-aka-zl1-x727-x720-t3698058
The problem now is I don't know where to start troubleshooting When I get time I am planning on a clean wipe and fresh install of AICP again to see if that solves the problem
When using this ROM does your phone heat up a lot.

Did you manage to fix the problem somehow?
