hi guys !I have installed "android desire" ROM and when I tried to make my first pictures to testing the camera ,I saw that my flashlight is not working and the message: "unable use flash due to cold weather"!
..I have tested this ,and when outside are less than 0' celsius,the phone update the weather and don't let me to use it,even if I am at home when are 22' celsius!
Please help me....is a general problem or it is a way to solve it?
sorry for my bad english!
no one knows?
Move to a tropical climate. J/K
yes but I need to stop google location because if I let him active,doesn't work even if I change climate....and in all cases,if I change climate,the weather widget will be unusuable!...sorry for bad english....any sugestions?
Funniest bug I've read about in a long time. I think you're using the old ROM cotulla released together with Magldr, and I don't think it has been updated ever since which means bugs like those couldn't have gotten ironed out.
Just try another one and it should be fixed, if not, follow mattfmartin's advice. Every excuse is a valid one to move to an exotic climate!
In case the language barrier is too high, here is a
Short version:
Try another ROM.
no!I use "[20 JAN][ZIP] RAFDROID HD 2.3 [DATA2EXT][Kern:MDJ 10.3][RMNET][FASTEST FULL DESHD!] " ,and every week I update my rom,because I didn't find yet the best nand android!I get crazy when I go to a party with a phone of 300 euro and I can't make a picture because outside is cold and I am in t-shirt inside!I feel like slam it all the walls! And theese days I realized that it have moment's that even if outside are -7 ' celsius,it works!sometimes work,sometimes not!I wait desperate the summer ,to escape from this problem!Anyone know about this problem?I am the only one who have this bug?thank you for your answers!
This really leaves me puzzled....
Change your phone language to English, and then write down the exact error message. If you use the native English text, you have more chance of having success with Google.
I'm really sorry, but that's all the help I can give you.
The phone is set to native english,and the message is exactly:"unable to use flash due to cold weather"... even if I use camera flash to make a picture or torch to use flashlight!I tried to make a google search but I've find a single post with a few answers but not on subject!thank you very much for your interest !! I have such a sensible phone... idiot...
Weird stuff. Have you had this issue in WinMo too?
no!only with android!
I guess with -20 It will be very hard to have that phone out in the open.
(Brasov this time of year, will hit that temp for sure).
Be aware that you are using something that depends on a certain safe 'usage' temperature.
I'd rather keep that phone in my pocket when it gets THAT cold
Sorry buddy, I have no solution for this, as this is something i've never heard of.
If disabling "my location" makes it work, what's wrong with just turning that off for good?
Settings, Location & security, and turn off "Use wireless networks" and "Use GSP satellites".
I personally never have either of them enabled because of the fact they're such big battery drains.
I will try when I will see next time the message and I will tell you if my problem is solved!thank you very much again and I hope that this will solve the problem!
hello again!after days and weeks of hard work(try all android versions,radio,hspl and others),I finally found the issue: A few monts ago,I bought 2 battery from ebay(chineeze),and I have charged them with an external charger (not connected to phone),and thoose battery were the problem!Yesterday it passed in my mind,and I tried to change the chineze battery with the original and with every try,I saw that the problemm was solved!Thank you again and a tip for you: do not buy Chinese batteries on ebay!
change the battery .. its not getting enough power
I solved the problem by uninstalling "quick settings" app. I used flash battery from quick settings once and that probably caused the problem.

The 'problem' isn't caused by any apps or bugs, its a fail-safe feature. Cold weather affects battery performance, and using flash is battery intensive. Once the phone gets to a certain temp (zero degrees celsius I believe) the phone will disable flash. Confirmed for desire builds.

I got this problem since yesterday and the reason for the message is indeed because the center battery pin was bent.
Check that if you get the Unable to use flash due to cold weather message!

As unusual as that solution sounds, it actually was exactly my problem. Flash working 100% fine now.
Thanks so much, Katalin! :laugh:
I had a question regarding calibrating the compass. I've read the threads and seen the video about the compass calibration, but I did have 2 questions that I haven't been able to find the answer to yet:
1) How often does the compass need to be recalibrated? Is there anything that affects it - meaning, any actions or anything that may require the compass to be recalibrated more or less frequently?
2) GPS Status has a Compass Calibration option, and I've seen similar options in other apps. Do these options do anything like put the phone in a recalibrating-the-compass mode? Or can the compass calibration be done at any time? Does the screen need to be on? Does the phone even need to be on (don't know why I'd calibrate then - just curious since I don't understand what the calibration does)?
Does anyone know?

You would probably get a fast response if you posted your question in the correct section (Q & A) thank you will in general, jus sayin.
Personally I recalibrate (via the figure 8 method) any time I notice the compass is off. I leave my screen on (usually in Maps) and wave the phone around and it gets pretty accurate after recalibrating.

Pretty much anytime you haven't used the compass for a while, you will need to recalibrate. I use a combination of holding the phone straight out and waving it vertically (referenced to the ground) in a figure 8, then just holding it arm straight out and turn my body 360 degrees so that the phone has gone thru all the points of the compass.
Note, this is not the same thing as fixing the upside down calibration which only needs to be done once.

Oops, sorry about that...I should have posted there, but I can't move the thread now
When using Google maps, I have to "figure 8" my phone 90% of the time. Sometimes to get it to point the right direction or to just get the "pointer" to unfreeze.

Hey guys, I've noticed that my smg900h battery life is terrible, I hardly get 3 hours screen on and disappointing deep sleep, any way, I used "BetterBatteryStats" to spot the cause and I found that Proximity sensor is draining my battery for no reason, when going to settings-battery, "Voice calls" using the most part of the battey (barely 1 hour of voice calls) abd BBS told me exactly what part of voice calls causes the problem..
Hope for a solution, thank in advance guys! ?
*tomorrow I'll add a picture from BBS
Use XtreStoLite ROM. It is extremely lite firmware.. May that'll solve your problem..

There is nothing in your screen shots that suggests the proximity sensor is as you put it a HUGE Batter drain. In my experience, the proximity sensor is not a huge drain even when frequently used.
Your battery life is low, but that could be caused by numerous badly behaved apps, Google or various settings. You should run a detailed battery app, e.g. Gsam, avail yourself of the obvious tweaks e.g. restricting Google Now from accessing the net frequently and post a list of installed apps to get a lot better advice.

Hey, thank you first of all.
I wrote that "better battery stats" suggested thar the proximity sensor causes the problem, and ill add a picture later.. anyway, I've done a research and found that maybe my glass screen protector have an impact on the proximity sensor (even that it completely transparent)..and what I did it moving the protector from the sensor, and I'm actually seeing a change.. (it was physically on the sensor)..
Im waiting my vattery do drain to see if it helped and I'll update soon..

Lately I have been struggling with some very bad battery drain. I'm a very light user. Before the Oreo update by the end of the day I would have 80% battery left. Now I'd be happy to have 40% left. I tried everything including greenify to no avail. Something keeps my phone awake. I found that a partial wakelock caused by LgeGnssLocationProvider is the culprit.
The fun part is when you google it.
Any ideas what the hell I'm supposed to do? I'm considering rooting my phone to get rid of all the bloatware. Would that also allow me to get a better insight of what is causing this wakelock?
I'm also have notice this, but the wakelock seems to be related with some LG bloatware. I have disabled multiple GNSS LG apps running in background, and that solve the issue. (i have root)

Which applications did you disable? I listed all the packages that contained gnss and disabled those without any luck. Worst part is, it does not always happen. Sometimes I can go the entire day without the wakelock.
I can not believe I am the only one who is experiencing this issue.
You are not the only one, I am having the same problem on my V30. Any ideas how to solve that problem??
I'm still working on figuring out what is causing the wakelock. Can't seem to find it though
I'm going to bump this again in the hope that someone sees it and know's what is going on.
Is there a way to find what triggered a wakelock?

I've come across this many many times but it doesn't help me. The wakelock is caused by Android System, but I want to know what exactly triggered it. Because it does not occur all the time.

it's not system itself it's always some app using system interface...
posibly even some LG bloatware that uses location...
weather and so on...
Has anyone managed to solve this absurd wakelock?
Hey all,
Recently got my S10+ replaced under insurance (dropped it about 10 stories), and have since rooted it (magisk).
I get a crazy amount of battery drain, up to 35% an hour when using spotify (and Viper4Android). I get high CPU alerts constantly from google play services, even overnight when charging and not touching at all. Device runs very very hot too.
Just want to ask whether anyone else has had this problem before taking it back and asking for a new phone. Seems like a faulty phone but don't want to rule out a bad flash
Cheerio
I suppose bthat you are rooted, since using viper... Use battery stats to se exactly what is the problem, is it kernel or app related... Either ways, good quick start would be cash clear from recovery and network reset... If still draining, force stop than delete data for gplay, services and google framework this will log you out

I'd feel pretty stupid if I rooted a phone and then considered taking it back because of battery drain. I don't know how anyone could say it seems like a faulty phone when they apparently immediately rooted it without testing the battery life. I'd suggest learning how to use a phone before rooting it and then claiming the sky is falling. Unbelievable.

I've had rooted Android phones for the better part of 10 years. I also had the same problem BEFORE rooting, and flashed a custom OS to ensure the battery drain wasn't due to bloatware. In addition, if you read my post properly you would have noted that this is only an issue with a replaced S10, and was never a problem with the original S10, which means I am completely aware of battery usage life.
Keep your useless and misinformed comments to yourself.

Yeah this problem is old as Android itself the way i dealt with it in the past is i used betterbatterystats app overnight let it record who and what is sucking the battery dry. In your case it seems google services framework is the problem (surprise surprise)
If i was in your shoes i would try what @Sparkynis suggested first, clear cache and data it will delete your google account restart the phone wipe cache in recovery and add your account again if the problem is still there then you might have an app that refuses to go to sleep
and it will show up in betterbatterystats. If that fails i would wipe everything start from scratch only adding your google account not installing any apps besides the betterbatterystats to see if it's the google services framework messed up or an app you have installed that is forcing a wakelock somehow.

Thanks mate, did the battery stat's and it's the location alarm triggering a couple of times a second. Have reformatted and flashed multiple times and yet to fix the problem. Leaving location services off, however, does solve the problem.
This workaround works fine until I get my s20 but unfortunately I was not able to find the root cause. Faulty gps chip maybe? No idea.

Try looking into Google Maps that app triggers location services ALOT even when not running, i have the Unlocked s10+ U1 and even i notice the same thing with Location off i lose 2% of battery overnight with it left on i lose about 9%
Do uninstall google maps and let me know if it's the same. Also i used to have an app called wakelock detector full i haven't used it since my gf bought me the s10+ last version i have is 2.0.4 last updated in 2017 lol but it helped me find apps and system services that are awake and using cpu alot maybe that will help you find the cause
