Successfully installed MIUI-109160 but issues

The radio is ED05
The kernel is the one that came with it.
However the phone randomly reboots when I am talking on the phone and sometimes when I answer the phone (happened once) it kept ringing on my end but I could still here the person on the other end.
Also the battery is constantly draining fast.
I can get through most of the work day, but it will be about 20%
I've fully charged it and let it run dead.
I rooted and used the MIUI Rom on my wife's and mine fascinate.
Any suggestions?

Did you mean 1.9.16. If so that version had the same kind of bugs and ran odd on my phone too while it ran fine on a friends phone. Don't know why it runs so differently on phones but try the latest 10.28.1.1. It has been running the best out of any one the last month for me. You can find it on miui.us in the fascinate forum. The original port had a broken flash on the camera and weblexa fixed in the 10.28.1.1 version. I've been on it all week no reboots or phantom rings yet.

Do I just boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Cache Partition and install zip from SDCard?
Would you advise to delete battery stats?

Yes just boot to recovery through the power menu. The recovery associated with the 3 button method doesn't work you have to use the one you boot into from the power menu. For best results wipe data/ factory reset too. Sometimes if you just wipe the caches it will act funny. You can wipe battery stats too if you want. I don't do it every time but if it seems it's reading wrong I will go back and clear it later. Since it seems it drains fast you may want to clear the battery stats. I get about 17hrs out of mine with moderate use.

I think I downloaded 10.28.1.0. from the website miui.us. I will download the one from the forum and go from there.

Good luck hope it works well for you. It's a great rom on this phone.

MIUI + Fascinate + this forum = lolwatwhichthreadagain

I installed the new update 10.28.1.0 and it seems to work pretty well.
I have a few issues however. I cannot install new programs from the Android Market, it says there is no room available, when there is, and the File Explorer crashes all the time now.

[Q] battery issue

I did a search and looked through the threads, some were similar but none were exactly like mine... which has me worried. also google didn't help... which has me worried
My battery charges, and discharges ( i think) normally. I don't see any problem with the actual usage. But, the battery indicator only updates when it is plugged in or unplugged, or i restart it. while it's running it doesn't update, so i have to guess at the level of battery.
I just bought a "re-certified" one from newegg. it did the latest ICS OTA update immediately after turning it on. It had this problem on stock OTA, but i have since rooted it with ViperMOD (still stock ROM), and the issue is still there.
I have read about battery calibration, deleting battery stats, etc - would these be applicable? how do I actually go about doing it?
Thanks for any info!

I would backup all my data (Using Titanium Backup), backup your ROM then either flash to something new or delete all your data. Obviously you can restore everything once your done but just to see if this is a software or hardware issue.

Have you tried any other battery widget? Does it update in settings -> about tablet -> status and/or settings -> battery?
If not, you should try reflashing like mike suggested.

I have tried "Beautiful Widgets" battery widget, as well as stats - and they all show the same level.
ty, will do. do you have a recommendation for rom? stock like with stability and battery life? no dock...
Android Revolution HD look ok?
thanks again

yeah didn't help. i did a wipe from within CWM, and installed Android Revolution.
Is there anything i can do to wipe to wipe it further, safely? before i go through the process of trying to RMA it.
I am fully charging it and then will reset the battery stats and discharge it, as that's said to be good anyway once in awhile and i don't have anything better to do...
if it comes down to it, how might i unroot before sending this back? i have the image from before flashing, but that was after rooting and installing CWM.

Deleting battery stats won't improve your battery life. It's a MYTH.

The correct way to calibrate your battery is to discharge it 2-3 times after flashing a new rom/kernel.

[Q] Extremely slow overclocked phone

First off thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this. I have also posted on the Cyanogen forums but got nothing back.
I’m running Cyanogen 7.1.0 on my Glacier and overclocked/underclock my phone base off of battery levels. However my phone is running extremely slow even with a 100% battery running at 1401 MHz ondemand. I have already done a factory reset but the phone continues to run extremely slow. I have had to turn off the underclocking (so no battery life) cause any time I am not running at 1401MHz it is all but useless. So I was wandering if anyone know what may be causing this to continue even after a factory reset.
Ever grateful Noob.

Try flashing tdj's kernel. Not sure if it will help, but it sure won't hurt to give it a shot. I've noticed that 1.2ghz is the best maximum clock speed I've found, any faster and it gets buggy and actually makes the phone slower. Not every processor can handle a lot of overclocking.

I have slowed down the over clock and it gets to the point where its to slow to use.
Should I may be whipe the whiping dalvik cache? and can I do that with out a reset first?

wipe everything that isn't the sd card. Be sure you wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and if possible boot (why not?). That will give you a clean slate.
Then flash CM7, and GAPPS.

GAPPS? sorry I got my phone on day one and have not been on the forums in over a year.
NM I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks, I was hoping I didn't have to do another restore but looks like thats going to be it.

Restore? What are you restoring? Sometimes restoring apps and settings causes issues.
GAPPS are the google applications like, play store, gmail, that annoying setup that runs the first time you boot a rom or when adding a google account, etc.

If I were you, I would look more at the ROM your running before trying to overclock/underclock your processor. Like was suggested, your first step should be to re-flash after wiping all but your SD card. Second, to try another kernel. Third, to just try another ROM and see if that helps.
I've had issues with ROMs similar to yours for unknown reasons. I just simply don't use them, as nobody else seems to have reported those issues.

moto g5 plus is draining battery fast

Hi all,
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp on my G5 plus. Before I unlocked my bootloader I had amazing battery life. 8 hours and 15 minutes of sot at the most. Now I'm getting terrible battery life. I can't even last half a day. Does the phone understand how you use it and optimize the Snapdragon 625 or is it something else.
Edit: It also drains battery on standby

You have an app that is not allowing the phone to sleep... Install GSAM or other similar battery usage monitoring app and see what the offender is.

What about the general battery drain. Before I flashed twrp and unlocked my bootloader I used to be able to make it from 6 a.m to 8 p.m. Today is my first day using my phone after unlocking my bootloader and flashing TWRP. After I set up my phone again (the bootloader erased all my data) I set up my phone and charged it over night. By this time of the day I should be at around 70% but I am at 49%. How do I fix this battery drain issue.

It drains 1% every minute to minute and a half.

I'm planning to revert back to stock. How do I relock my bootloader and remove twrp. Can someone please provide instructions and the links for the files to be download

Unlocking, installing TWRP, and rooting are NOT the cause of your battery drain... you should determine that first.
"Relocking" and returning to pure stock can be easy, or difficult, depending on your software version. If you were on the latest stock version then you will have to wait, because to relock the bootloader you must have a complete, digitally signed, factory firmware image that is flashed via fastboot... the process is well documented, but you cannot downgrade to do it, you must flash the same or a newer version than what is installed in your device currently.
See the problem yet? Yup, exactly... we don't have a full factory image of the latest version. We might get one tomorrow, might get one in 3 months, a year, or never, we don't know as all of them are leaks because Moto does not officially support that level of user self-repair on non-developer models.
So we go back to what I said at the beginning... Unlocking, installing TWRP, and rooting are NOT the cause of your battery drain... Work on that first, what have you tried?
Have you installed GSAM and looked at the monitors to see exactly WHAT is draining battery? Have you wiped the cache partition(s) in TWRP? Have you done a full factory reset?
You have decided to root... unfortunately this is not a Nexus device, you can't just stick your toe in and if the water is too cold you have can pull it out and forget going in the pool, for better or worse, now you have to jump in and just get used to it.

I got gsam and I fully recharged my battery with the included wall adapter. I'm getting slightly better battery life but I'll see what app is the culprit after a full days use tommorow

I was at 92% and now I'm suddenly at 89%. Did it really drain 3% or is my battery not calibrated

Let it go to at least 70% or lower, then post a screenshot of GSAM
Did you do the cache wipes?
And "battery calibration" isn't a thing anymore, it's automatic every charge cycle.

I'm not rooted so I have to enable the extra stats thing through adb when I get home. Is it clearing the cache?

Sorry I'm kind to new to this but what are cache wipes

Wait... You are not rooted, all you did was unlock and flash TWRP and nothing else?
Ok, power off and start TWRP, go to Wipes and Advanced, tick Cache and Dalvik Cache (verify nothing else is selected), and swipe to confirm and perform the action. Press Home - Reboot - System and let it reboot, if prompted about no SuperSU or Root, DON'T DO IT! Skip, ignore, not now, or whatever so it doesn't do anything but reboot. It will take more time than a normal reboot, so he patient. This does not harm your data or files in any way.

Ok I tried it. It surprisingly took under a minute.

I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks

I tried to root but it didn't work. I first tried super su. I flashed it by twrp and it was successful. But when I went to twrp and I opened super su I could see the root check app in the background but super su kept on telling me that the super su binary wasn't installed. So I had root access but I had no control over it. Even cpu z told me that I was rooted. So I decided to uninstall super su and I re flashed it but the same thing happened again. One of my friends the told me to try out Magisk(apparently you could hide you have root access from apps). I tried to flash Magisk for the first time but it give me two errors while flashing it. When I opened the app it asked me to get the Magisk manager but for some reason they removed the Magisk manager from the play store. I did the same thing again but this time I got the apk for Magisk Manager 14.0 from apk mirror and it didn't work for me. So I uninstalled Magisk. So then I went to Snapchat and it didn't let me login because apparently Snapchat doesn't let rooted users use it. So then I decided to do a factory reset yesterday. (Before all this my battery life was normal about my usual 7 hours of sot). Then yesterday evening I noticed that it was draining a lot of battery. So someone said there was a fix only for the standby mode using minimal adb which basically forces the device to doze. So I have force dozed enabled and my standby battery life is really good. I slept with 62% and I woke up this morning with 62%(so that made a huge difference). I just cleared the dalvik cache and normal cache towards twrp and it seems like it's really helping. I'll change it fully again and hopefully things get better.

Clearing the cache and dalvik cache didn't help me

Did you try just installing the SuperSU app from the Play Store?

Is this really real?

What are you asking about?

Yes it is. I'm giving an overview of what I did in case if I did something wrong while flashing super su. I found what's draining the battery. It's the cell standby

Cleared my cache and Dalvik and my battery life went down the toilet!

The title says it all. I was having issues with errors and apps not responding or force closing, So I thought in would wipe the cache and Dalvik cache in TWRP, just in case there was something corrupted. Upon reboot, my battery life stayed at 65% when full charged, but would eventually charge to 100% when it was being used while charging. Now the batter dies in a very short amount of time! It happened, like that! No slow degradation, just boom! And it was done. Anyone have any ideas, or seen something similar with their Tab A 10.1?

I always wipe cache/dalvik when dirty flashing my rom updates and never had that problem.
I'm guessing you have a bad battery, otherwise it wouldn't have behaved as you described. If you're lucky it's just a glitch - try a few charge cycles :fingers-crossed:

It could be that something other than cache is corrupted. I'd try a factory reset after making sure OEM is enable in dev mode. In my experience, batteries don't go bad all of a sudden. Or, better yet, restore from TWRP backup. You do have a backup, don't you?

Never had a back up. All I did was root the tablet when root was first achieved a couple years ago. Should I try a system reset through TWRP or through the tablet itself? I ran it through the system, and lost root, and supposedly shouldn't have. Would I just be better off loading a new ROM through TWRP off the SD card? I'm sure I could find a stock OEM ROM on here somewhere, now at least. When I rooted the tablet, there was no aftermarket anything... Just the ability to root the device.

Rule of thumb, flash stock ROMs via odin and custom ROMs via TWRP. My choice would be a custom ROM and then BACKUP!!!:laugh:
edit: If you rooted the device a long time ago, that means you haven't been getting any updates. You may well be clear back on Android 6 while the latest custom ROMs are 10 and the latest stock is 8.1. You can get the latest stock with Frija, which is a free download.

I'll have to take a look on my SD card, I recall using Titanium backup, so I'll have to check. Do you have any recommendations? Warranty is gone, so I'll likely install a new ROM, I usually do once it's up anyway
I only browse Reddit, Facebook, a couple other social media apps and I'll play the odd game.
