[q] a few questions (battery, missing market, fc youtube)

sorry if some of these questions have already been asked and answered. unfortunantely, my computer crashed due to a manufacturing flaw so I can only access google and this forum via my epic (which can be a pain sometimes). also, since heros threads are always deleted, I cannot ask these questions there. please, any feedback and help would greatly appreciated.
okay so I reflashed backed snack 1.6 w/ ultimate after testing some of the newest froyo builds. id rather wat until I get the official ota upgrade.
after reflashing 1.6 for some reason, android market doesn't appear to be installed. where can I download the application? I even tried reflashing 1.6 over itself but that didn't work.
also, I'm using the new gingerbread youtube but I signed in and now I get a constant fc when I try to open it. how can I fix this? if I can't, where can I download an earlier version of youtube?
another question. this time about battery. using 1.6 w/ ultimate, I get fairly decent battery. only problem is, my battery stats say that my display and standby are what is killing my battery the most. nothing ever runs in the background, every so often I unlock my phone to either check the time or texts or facebook real quick, brightness is on its lowest setting, silent mode, juicedefender running correctly (battery life: x1.56), no data running in the background, drm killed, battery calibrated and battery stats wiped, and everything else possible to to save battery.
and something I'm noticing now that the phone is charging, the battery is quite hot and I'm not even using the phone. it only overheats when its charging and I've also noticed that its only hot when I use certain roms/kernels. any insight on this issue? any way to monitor and regulate temperature?
once again, any help would be appreciated!

Ill take a stab at these. Reason for you market not showing, can't say? Did you wipe 3 times before flashing bs 1.6?
Also never sign in on gingerbread youtube on 2.1 build. I don't think anyone has got that working yet. Simply clear the cache for youtube and you should be set.
Lastly, I don't know what to say about your bettery.. what do you have setcpu running at? Do you have profiles to lower your phones speed when in standby? Couldn't hurt to give it a shot.
Sorry about your computer, all my info is based on personal experience don't really have a "dev" type answer for ya. But hope some of this helps.
Goodluck!

thank you for your reply.
yes I did wipe both data, cache, and davlik 3 times. I guess I will do that now and report back.
how would I go about clearing the cache for one specific app? I know I can do that when I open up my settings and go to app development but youtube doesn't show up in that list.
setpcu is oc at 1300 and uc at 200 conservative. profiles are as follows:
charging/full - 1000 and 200 conservative
battery < 15% - 800 and 400 conservative
screen off - 600 and 400 conservative
yeah, brand new computer too. all of a sudden it couldn't recognize the hard drive. and yes, most of my info is based on personal experience and creeping on forums.
edit: wiped everything 3 times and reflashed. market till not appear.

For youtube I just open it up without a data connection and step through the process of signing out only enabling data when needed.
If you're missing market then you need to flash back stock with odin then start fresh. Baked doesn't remove market at all. If anything it's the fastest responding market I've used.
Heat from the battery is usually caused by programs requesting cycles or data. Just restart the phone before bed after your initial battery calibration.

as I stated, I have no computer at the moment. so using odin to go back to stock is out of the question as of now. hopefully there's got to be another way without using odin. if not then I suppose I'm stuck in this predicament until I get my computer back from geek squad. and yes, I've never had a problem with heroes work before. but for some reason, this is happening.
and as I've stated before, no programs or data run in the background on my phone. after initial calibration I rebooted it. and after every boot, I toggle airplane mode on and then off. ill continue to moniter battery temps and see if the problem persists.

Sorry bout that, I did read over that you hadn't had a computer. I overlooked it though. It just sounds like you might have somehow of gotten a corrupt install somehow.
Maybe you can try reinstalling 1.6 over top of itself. I don't really see anything wrong with that, but as stated before though. Make sure you wipe cache and dalvichk 3 times each before you do so.

[Q] Android system drain after factory reset.

I'm starting to think the goodness of the Note 3 battery is becoming a joke. What I did was clear my cache partition and did a factory reset after from the recovery menu. I have not installed any other apps yet. I just set up dropbox, play books, email, etc. Normal things for normal use.
I did a reset because my battery was draining before and I thought a reset could resolve it. I need to ask for solutions as this is really giving me a headache.
Don't ask if I have turned off this or that, most probably I did as I read from multiple threads. Those threads are only guessing or otherwise throwing the OP in a loop for the search of answers.
Xda, I need your help to figure out how to SOLVE this stupid drain.
Note on the screenshot: I took that screen after 30 mins after plugging it out. It drained 2% while I was doing absolutely nothing but stare at the Android System bar graph go higher. Its like a plague for the damn phone.
---
Edit:
I installed BBS and here are screenshots of the partial and kernel wakelock. Is this normal though? This happened while I was sleeping overnight and I have not installed any apps other than BBS. This is how my stats were before and my battery is draining fast especially when I'm using my phone.
Thing is, I have set all measures possible to extend battery life non rooted and it goes down by the minute of light use.

at least should mentioned ur model n900 or n9005!?
anyway i did this for my N900 after i got battery draining once and it solve problem;
when it discharge to ~15% turn it off and connect it to charger and let it charging 100%
it can help battery to charge without using it at same time
i mentioned it before several times (in another threads) it s like re-gauging battery.
another thing u can do is flashing another stock firmware
but search for the more stable firmware.
:good:

Sorry! I have the SM-N9005. Bought from the Philippines (Smart carrier)

The joys of Android!
Wakelock detector and BetterBatteryStats are your best friend in regards to stuff like that. - Usually it's Alarmmanager or something similar that causes it. What generally fixed it for me was switching ROMS

Do you also have a microSD or a large amount of custom files in your (internal or external) memory? Since when you do factory-reset you also clear all the preliminary indexes and caches that the system created, and it will work pretty hard to re-index all that after first reboot!

Ahh wise not messing if out of your comfort zone then, sensible guy.
However, have a good read around, you'll find after some heavy duty reading you'll probably feel alright in maybe trying rooting and debloating some apps etc. But then again, you might not. That is one of the best things about Android, you can play around to suit your needs whether novice or pro.
Also, if you do fancy rooting and need help you can post here, or you can just shoot me a PM I'll help you over the first hurdle at least if you want :good:

nexus 4 shutdown inmediately after turning on

I have a total headache due to an issue with my nexus 4. From time to time it started to shutdown randomly, but now when I turn on the phone the shutdown screen appears as soon as the phone asks me for the pin code. I have wiped all types of memory from the recovery, and I have installed different roms. The problem seems to be random, it can shutdown in a few minutes, in hours or in the pin code screen. Now my problem is that it always turn off in the pin code screen. I do not know what else to do, I am not sure if it is a software issue, a hardware issue or a combination of these two possible reasons. I would apreciate any type of help. Thanks!

Hi,
Have you tried reverting to latest factory image?

Sounds like a battery issue to me. Luckily for you , it's cheap nowadays and easy enough to install. Now , you said you can boot the device. I want you to install 3c toolbox , give it root , open up battery manager and check the voltage of your battery. Leave maH retrieval method as automatic. Depending on the percentage , it should be between 3.4 and 4.2. If your battery is full it should be around 4.2. Watch for sudden drops in voltage , that might be the cause of your issue. If the voltage drops below 3.2 , it's dead. You gotta replace it.

Hi, thanks. The battery replacement was the first solution I have tried, and it was useless . I did what you said and the battery voltage is ok.

Okay , have you ever opened the device ? If so the power button is quite fragile and has a tendency to break , i was wondering if that might have malfunctioned. That requires some advanced tinkering though. Or alternatively you could buy one and replace the original since it's very cheap. Otherwise i would have you solder a switch on the board.

GApps on Rooted LG V20

Does anybody know if we are able to flash any other versions of GApps on the rooted LG V20?
My V20 is from AT&T and since day one it has had terrible battery life. Where I was able to use my Note7 or Droid Turbo all day and still have battery left, the V20 eats the battery charge like Sally Struthers in a See's Candy warehouse. I mean, I have to charge this thing at least 2 times a day when I use it to search the web or any battery intensive purposes. I never had this problem on any other phone. I have been trying to find ways to improve my battery. I used Rom Toolbox Pro to disable all kinds of stuff, and it worked great, until my phone started Grand Mal seizing giving me the Google Play Services has to close notifications, which I then had to factory reset just to get my phone working properly again.
I would like to try flashing a minimal version of GApps that pretty much just has the play store and play store services. Are we able to do this on our V20's without having any issues? If you have any input at all I would really appreciate it.

IMHO it must be an app or two you have installed draining your battery like that. On a full charge I can a whole day and a little in to the next. I am a heavy user too. Are you blasting the brightness at 100% all the time? If so auto brightness will help a little. Go in to setting and see what is using that much drain

I was thinking it might be something I installed, as well. But I can't seem to pinpoint any apps that might be causing the battery drain. I keep the screen on auto brightness like you mentioned so it shouldn't be the screen. GSam almost always shows the Android System and Kernel (Android OS) at the top of the list of battery-draining apps. I love the phone, I just cannot figure out what is going on. I mean, I am not doing anything different than I have on my previous phones, and the V20 seems to be working fine. I thought maybe it is something with Nougat. I will gladly post some pics of app usage or data if it might help figure this problem out.

What rom are you on? Are you on stock white theme? I'm running a dark theme, which can help save a little juice. I'm also running as many team blackout apps as I can (many Google apps) to avoid all the whiteness. Just throwing out some ideas.

Interesting! I have never heard of Team Blackout Apps, they look pretty nice! Yes, I am on the stock ROM just the way it comes. I haven't changed anything at all. I have barely installed any apps just to see if I can find what is causing the battery to drain. Are there any other ROMs that work with the AT&T variant of the LG V20? It seems like they haven't made any yet for the AT&T V20. I am still waiting for Xposed to be released that is compatible with nougat so I can use Amplify.

I don't think there are any roms for AT&T variant atm. I did see an AT&T user flashed the stock deodexed rom by tilde88 in rom section. Not sure of all the details though. I'm assuming you would lose some functionality...would need to flash stock kernel as well.

What is your leading source of battery drain under system usage?

Yeah definitely, I think it is a little bit too early, for me at least, to expetiment with a deodexed ROM. But I know there will be some awesome developments coming out soon. I was so happy to see that a root was figured out for the V20 so quickly after it was released. Until then, I will keep experimenting with the stock ROM.

Hi Swizzle82, thank you for the reply. It is kind of difficult for me to pinpoint what the leading source of battery drain is because the apps seem to bunch all detected processes and wakelocks together. I know that Call Services & Android System show up on top a lot of the time, but since I factory reset the phone today, the stats are minimal compared to what I previously had. WeChat also uses resources, but I used that app all the time on my Note7 and previous phones, even more than I do now, and it never caused a problem. I attached some screenshots from GSam, BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and CPU Spy Reloaded., I don't know if they will help, but just switching between those few apps and taking some screenshots over the span of 6 minutes, my battery percentage dropped from 79% to 76%.

I had android system for a while killing me.. I factory reset and setup every app one by one with no data transfer or anything. Installed every app like it's first install. I charged it til it reached 100 percent, with the phone plugged in, I went to data/system/batterystars.bin and deleted that file and rebooted. It was a long process but it hasn't been an issue since. This was when the phone first came out last month. Never knew which apps data it was but it is gone now.

That sounds like a good idea to try. I will do this today since I already factory reset it yesterday. I would rather do it now before I get further into using it again. I have not heard about this until you mentioned it so maybe there is an issue with app transfers with the V20 causing it. The battery does seem to drain less than before, but it seems like there are still some issues. Thank you for the suggestion!

If you followed did the dirtysanta method, make sure you flash the Konverged kernel for the H918. Or Tilde88's 5.1 kernel for the H918. It worked wonders on improving battery life. Also make sure you disable Lookout - that drains a lot of battery it seemed to me at least. I usually get about a day and a half of battery life when I use my normal amount (which is honestly quite a bit).

Okay, thanks for letting me know! I have not even looked at those kernels thinking they weren't cross compatible with H910. I am going to try it right now with the dirtysanta method. I will disable Lookout, as well. There are a ton of apps that I never use that drain the battery. I will let you know how it goes :good:

No, I had the Note7 before getting the LG V20. Before that I had a Note 4 and a Droid Turbo. This is my first LG phone and I really do love it. I actually like it more than the Note7, the only problem I have is the battery. I do think that factory resetting and manually installing the apps instead of restoring them will help, and using the Konverged kernel seems promising, from what I am reading.

Yup I always start fresh and install apps manually anytime I reset my phone. I think it's always nice to start fresh - even if it is sometimes a bit inconvenient to go through all the apps you've installed and choosing which ones to install. Hopefully you get it all sorted out!

Okay, I just factory reset the phone, rooted it with DirtySanta, and flashed the Konverged kernel and the phone is NOTICEABLY faster and smoother! This is great! Each time I reset the phone, it had noticeable lag. I just figured it would go away over time, which it did, and that it was because it had to load and download everything since it was fresh. But with the Konverged kernel, it has none of the lag and is silky smooth! Time to manually install the apps I want and disable some stuff I don't need. I will update you guys after I see how the battery is with the new setup Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate all the input!:good:

I need your help! I changed the screen cover sensor to off not realizing that I would not be able to turn off the static after rebooting my phone since the sensor is off. Would somebody please post a few screenshots showing how to navigate to the screen sensor settings so I can tap my way there and turn it back on? I am trying but there is no way to tell where to tap with all the static. Thank you!
Nevermind, I fixed it! I finally navigated to the second screen settings and turned it off when the screen is off and that got rid of the static after I turned the screen off then on again. Note to self, never do that again LOL.

Wow I'm fairly impressed you managed to do all that with the static screen haha - glad to hear it worked out for you in the end.

Get me your stock system.img and boot.img, and I'll make you a modded ROM with a custom kernel!

Haha yeah, I never knew something like that could cause such a huge problem. Now I can't seem to find what I did to cause that in the first place. I have been looking through all of the settings and can't seem to find anything that affects the proximity sensor. On top of that, the screen rotation stopped working, it will not rotate when I turn the phone to the side to type. I have toggled all of the motion and second screen settings, calibrated the motion sensor, and nothing is affecting it. When I turn the main screen off, the sensor does not shut off the second screen when I cover it with my finger, and the phone does not recognize when I rotate the screen. I am kind of at a loss on how to fix it.

Heavy N4 problems, any suggestions?

So, my phone have been having a lot of heavy problems. This has been going on for a while and i'm not sure what to do. The problems include:
- Extreme laggyness
- Heavy battery drain (2-3 SOT)
- Random reboots
- Random freezes
- Not rebooting
- Only rebooting in recovery
- Dying at 30-40% batt, and bootlooping until I put a new battery (a fully charged one) or charge it
I have tried full wipes, custom ROM's and stock ROM's but nothing seems to work. Atm I'm running stock android 6.0.1.
Is there anyone having the same problems (or have had the same problems) and has any ideas on how to fix it? I have to 3.5 more months until i can get a new phone so it's pretty necessary.

same(ish) issues...
I have the same issues... And I'we also tried "everything" .
I am starting to belive that this has to be some kind of hardware failure... it seems like some use in a way eats up all the memory... I have also tried to stop all background processes, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. The problems happen on all ROMs I'we tried, so it cant be software... But I'm no expert...
One thing that seems to help is not using some google apps, like chrome, and hangouts... When I launched this app it just died right away, but after uninstalling them, it "lives" a bit longer...
glad for any help I can get...

Disable app optimising in battery settings.
Use wake lock from app store and set to level 4.
☆Try a new battery☆
I had every issue you have listed... I replaced the battery with a new official samsung battery and it's been perfect since, not even a single reboot.

Had some ideas about the problem being the battery (I use an external charger) but to me it didn't make sense because I don't see how the battery could influence the software. You only had the problems with the battery or also the other ones (bootloops, lagginess, freezes, strange messages like 'sim card was removed')?
Thanks for your response.

Had all the same issues as you guys. The freezing, lagging, apps crashing and restarting at like 90% then boot looping until plugged on to charge. I tried all solutions, different roms, downgrading, completely stock. Bit it was the battery replacement that solved it finally.

No problem man, I honestly didn't think it would work at first. But I was suprised when It did. It's like a new phone

great!
edit: My most notable change was actually to remove the memcard.... As I'we read about the memcard issues...
It sounds so strange...
I actually tried some stuff for my self... Let debugging run and when it seems to get worked up, I'd just let it lie, I aslo tried tweaking the kernel, so that not so many background processes run at the same time. I'we had it running for about 18 hours straight! Last night I was browsing, installing apps and changing icons and fooling around with settings on 13% battery. Alarm worked this morning, and I'we been using it for more or less as I would use my s6, but a bit more patiently. At about 48% while running Instagram and play music it suddenly crashed. Now its up and running again.
Its still very clear that something isn't right and I will look into your battery solution...
Thax alot for you contribution! :good:

Here what I have done !
Hi dear !
I were facing this problem a month ago as my
phone gets reboot randomly as well as
shutting down by it self at 60 % !!!
Can you imagine that !
What I have done dear that I changed my
' class 4 ' microSD card to a new ' class 10 ' one as well
as I have changed the battery !
And you know what dear !
I have no longer facing this problem !
It had been resolved !
Now my phone is working fine since the last month !!
Hope it helps ??

Hi folks! I was having the same issues too apart from the battery drain. My phone was lagging, restarting, getting stuck on the 'Note 4' bootup screen. I reflashed and reset. Cleared Cache etc etc. But I also got a mmc_read error. Apparently it was an internal memory error. So I sent it back to be repaired as it's just under warranty. Looking on the repair status I *think* they've ordered a replacement mainboard and will be installing it. I'll also order a new battery when it comes back.

Can anyone recommend place or web site to buy genuine Samsung battery as 99% there is counterfeit ones?
Yes, bad battery makes your phone unstable. Had same issues on Note 1. When bought new battery all gone.
Thanks

Not all the problems are gone, but it definitely helped. Problem is that i bricked my phone now lol.

I think Samsung is to blame for battery problems,i use
Samsung Pro+ microSDXC 64gb class 10 UHS,after upgrade to Marshmallow battery went crazy,tried all 6.0.1 custom roms with BL and CP mentioned there,nothing the same fast battery discharging,went back to 5.0.1 perfect,next i went to 5.1.1 perfect ,back to Marshmallow same problem,now i use SimpLite v5 5.1.1 N910F....
Thank You Samsung !!
