I guess without root XDA members don't give a screw.
Fir this phone the other forum is much more active.

What are your thoughts and experiences on the update so far? WiFi seems much faster battery seems just as good.

Just got the update yesterday myself. was excited to see that it was 7.1.1 but got annoyed fast that it broke my admittedly already broken Bluetooth. (wouldn't turn on) But after backing everything up and a little bit of stumbling through the "restore" part of a full reset everything is running great as far as i can tell. I like the new launcher but i don't like that I can't do away with the "most recent" apps thing at the top. i just don't use it and don't wan't it there if I'm not going to use it.

The update broke my phone. Hooray.
**edit** Ok, so updated the phone. I got an error saying Recovery was unreadable, booted in bootloader mode... Rebooted, same thing. Shut off the phone. It recommended to use Software repair from Verizon... So plug in the USB-C, fire up the phone... It boots up to the splash screen and freeezes... Then 10 minutes later, REBOOTS TO RECOVERY?!
So I try and do what I can in recovery, but to no avail. So I reboot it again... And let it go. It bootloops 4-5 times and eventually boots up! So I thought, cool. It's fixed. Nope! I reboot, and I'm back in phone limbo. Stupid POS. :\

So I factory reset... And now the phone is even more broken than before. YAY!!!! This is the worst update ever.

Is this the one you used
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209216/
There is a old version for phones before 2013 and a newer that you can full erase and install fresh

It's not working with my Surface Book. I'll have to try it from another computer at home... I have a weird behavior when I leave my SIM card and SD card inside the phone on top of that: Once every 3 times I reboot, phone doesn't boot anymore. Getting annoyed with all of this.

Do you have a spare sd sounds like it's going bad or needs to be formatted. If you can I'd wipe everything internal external and fresh install

Remove your sim car tray before boot, guess the update doesn't like our CA network (had the same issue, but did it again when I plugged it to charge this after noon)

Other threads say it's an issue with Samsung SD cards (Which I have). Whenever I boot without it, everything is fine... Problem is I still can't restore from the Software assistant app, all I can do is factory reset from recovery.

Anyone here have a Moto Z force Droid and has 7.1.1 installed? Also will need knowledge of using adb shell and linux command to dump partitions (dd). My phone is in dire need of help. :\ Thanks!

After reading on Verizon website, I just realized that it takes up to a week after an update before you can use the assistant...
I also paid a premium for that samsung micro SD 128gb Evo... But also hope it can fix our z force droid Bluetooth issues...
Can't wait to see if the assistant can fix it (do you think a re-install without the SD card can change something ?)

Long trip to go across the border for Verizon... (I don't have a Verizon account) and Moto is a last resort if the software assistant can't fix my issue.

Anyone else noticing improved battery life after the update? I did a full factory reset after the update because it broke my Bluetooth but its been running great for me. Today might just be a fluke so ill keep a close eye over the next few days but so far it seems to be doing better with idle drain and drain with light usage.(web browsing, music, pictures, ect.)

I didn't get your luck, since the first small update in beginning of July, nothing but trouble, phone overheat (huge drain) reboots often (more drain) and weird unused app battery usage... Since August update, no improvement same thing...
I used to be able to make 2 days or a little more if I'm lucky... Now barely a day... ?

[Q] Problem after Android official update

Hi!
Yesterday my phone beeped telling me there was and Android update available, around 198MB
it came from this
dropbox.. com/s/kek0lyolyzdrjhj/2014-10-17%2020.16.39.png?dl=0
To this
dropbox.. com/s/zh92wxumigfe00e/2014-10-17%2020.38.32.png?dl=0
Everything was ok for some hours until hell broke loose
The screen will have a bad time turning on. I press the button several times with no response.
The phone is lagged as my grandpa in his grave. Apps close and even transition from one screen to the other is everything but impossible.
But, when I reboot it, it's ok for as long as I'm using it. If I lock the screen and let it aside for a while, the problems come back
No app updates in the meantime. It went from smooth to horrendous in the period of 4 or 5 hours. I didn't use it much in there, but I doubt it was malfunctioning like this
Special apps I have are Greenify pro, MinGuard (I think that's the name), SuperUser and I rooted it with Towelroot long ago
Any help will be appreciated

If it was a factory update I'm willing to bet you lost root along with busybox. If so, TowelRoot will probably not work this time. There's another root exploit available called PurpleDrake.

Thank you! I did it, re-rooted it following the instructions (indeed it looked like I'd lost my root) but the problem is not solved.
It's just a hunch, but seems to me that changing the Launcher smoothes things up. I was using Google Now Launcher and switched to both LG stock one and Solo Launcher and it seems to be ok.
I'll update the post in a few minutes to clarify it further. It could be that just those few minutes of usage after a reboot are smooth, as I stated in OP. Nevertheless, as soon as I change the launcher, the phone behaves better
Any hints? Google launcher version in Play Store is from August 1st here
Edit: bah, no luck. Same ****, regardless of the chosen launcher.
What do I do now? Try to downgrade it?

Wait a minute. I remember some issues changing from Quarx ROM back to stock. I walked someone else thru this once before. Lemme see if I can find that post. Otherwise I'll have to go back to stock, which isn't a problem but I'd rather not if I can avoid it. LOL.

There's a special place in Heaven for people like you.
It's probably clear by now, but I'm using stock rom here. I grabbed the phone in its early days, when this sub was crawling its way to glory, and we didn't even have a Recovery by that time. Since I was mostly ok with Stock, never minded doing anything special other than rooting it.

Haha I noticed that. Mine is 410 (LGD410HN, to be more precise, according to lg-firmware-rom.com).
I followed the instructions. This is what I saw: dropbox. com/s/6h721axufevchjw/2014-10-18%2019.42.10.png?dl=0
I'll update the post in a few minutes with the outcome. As far as I can see, though, things seem to be the same.
Just rebooted the phone, so it takes a few minutes for it to get sluggish.
Edit: Yeah, same thing.
It's another hunch, but every now and then pops up a message saying that a certain google process or app stopped working. Yesterday's update did have a pack of Google updates, IIRC.
Check greenified apps. Maybe it's trying greenify any system or normal app and Android it's trying wake it. Same problem here time ago

It makes sense if you take in account that the problem starts a few minutes after the phone sits idle.
I opened Greenify and there was this orange popup
dropbox. com/s/qkxeb850esfkxuo/2014-10-18%2020.40.57.png?dl=0
I disabled the auto-hibernate featuer now and unchecked the google apps that were on the list (Play Music; Play Books, Play Games, Remote Access - i think). But I didn't add any app since the update yesterday and the phone was running smooth since the last time I checked a few more, wich happened weeks ago.
I've got no clue about what may be causing the auto-hibernation problem that Greenify notes (the picture above).
I'll only be able to state for sure in a few minutes, but seems to me that the problem persists.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, the only other suggestion I have, mainly because of the app updates, is to wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then reboot the device.

That's what it's sounding like. I hate to say that because the only way to downgrade is to flash a KDZ. Unless someone has made a flashable zip of your stock ROM.

It's been ages since I last meddled with KDZ-ish things... I guess the "hate to say" part is because it will wipe all data from my phone, right?
I installed CWM and wiped cache and Dalvik. It asked to fix my root, I chose 'yes' and rebooted. After the phone took its sweet time to update apps, I was gifted with this popup message after normally unlocking the screen:
Code:
Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
It's the same error message I've been receiving constantly for a while now, as I stated before.
And, yes, things seem to be the same broken s**t as before.
Gosh, what a headache!

Unfortunately, you cannot just reflash GApps on stock like we can on custom ROMs. As for CWM asking to fix root, this generally isn't needed. So selecting "No" wouldn't hurt.
Well my friend, I'm fresh outta ideas. This may be the first issue that I've not had a fix for. LOL. Sorry. I really hate it when I can't help someone resolve an issue. It's the perfectionist in me, LOL.
Your help and almost instantaneous replies made it. I appreciate, trust me.
I'll search for that old post with LG tool and kdz files and do the deed in a few minutes. I'll update the topic and deem it Solved when I'm finished

Battery rapidly draining. Help!

Haven't yet found a solution to this online and hoping someone can help me out. Motorola Droid Turbo running 5.1. Phone was fine until just a couple days ago. The phone now gets really hot and the battery is rapidly draining, even if I'm not running anything and just have the phone on the table with the screen off. The only way to stop this I have found it to put it into airplane mode. When I look at the battery usage, it appears that "cellular network signal" is a solid red bar for the whole duration that the phone isn't in airplane mode. It's like there is an app that is constantly using cell service (this is whether or not I'm on wifi). Basically, the phone is behaving as if I'm on a phone call, nonstop. Tried killing apps, clearing cache, just did a factory reset, which I really didn't want to do, but even that didn't solve the problem. HELP!!!
TIA!!!
I had the same problem .
One day decided to downgrade to kitkat .
My problem was solved

Did you check to see if "Location Mode" somehow got changed and isn't on "Battery Saving" anymore?
Every once in a while mine gets changed from not paying attention to a prompt about locations. In fact, I just had to change mine back again.

It seems that your radio is creating the problem. I think the best way is to re flash the Radio of your phone.
It seems the reduced battery timing is the result of heating of the phone which is generated by the processor (probably the baseband processor which controls the radio functions ).

If you are unlocked then manually flash the radio using twrp.
If you are locked than Google for Rsdlite.

I think it's more that the radio is constantly at full power trying to establish a connection, and it's particularly inefficient in that state. I was in a very rural area the other day and while it was determined that I was connected, it was voice-only with no data; the phone got quite warm, and pretty much stayed that way until I got back within decent range of a tower. Battery life was pretty terrible as well. Not a good phone to go far off the beaten path with, it seems...
If your cell signal level is a solid red line with no yellow bits, that means it's completely disconnected because it can't find a signal, and outside of airplane mode will continually "search" for it. Like Nido said, if you're not unlocked, you're going to have to flash a full firmware package in rsdlite. This'll get your radio firmware up to date (if it isn't already) and clean your modem stats (which I would bet is where your problem actually lies).
If you are SunShine-unlocked, you can flash the clean_modem_stats zip in TWRP and that should hopefully fix it.

Just to respond, I haven't taken any action yet. I did previously change the battery, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. Then yesterday the battery lasted at least 12 hours with modest use. Today, it's been on for 4 hours so far and battery is at 86% and the back feels cool. Now I'm totally stumped and not sure I'll do anything to rock the boat. However, it is having trouble connecting to wifi for some reason, so there's that... Not sure the issues are related...

You must have use some battery app to analyze the behaviour of battery during charging and discharging cycle n it will assist you to caught the real source of problem....
As for as i know wifi is also the part of Radio package. If replacing the battery do not resolve the issue than there is another bugg which has to be caught...

Hey all - anybody able to help? All the instructions I can find for flashing a radio involve a radio.img file, and there's not one in the package I downloaded above. I really don't want to brick my phone by experimenting - would greatly appreciate any advice as to how to flash this!

If you are taking about the clean modem file, it's not a radio. It's like a cache cleaner for your radio/modem.
Boot into TWRP recovery and go to "install". Flash the zipped file in "install" .
Thank you Chazz!! Just flashed it and so far phone is running cool as a cucumber. Will be out of town for the next four days so if this has fixed the problem, I will be the happiest dude in the world! Also, occasionally the phone has been *really* sluggish, taking forever to respond to key input, etc. - I'm thinking this may all be related. Looking forward to finding out!
Hey all - quick update. The radio cleanout appears to have helped some, but still every day I'm having to leave my phone on a charger just to make it through until I get home. I think it starts to "obsess" about something and it gets super hot; often I'll restart it in hopes it will "forget" whatever it was thinking about so hard and often it does. This is really crippling me - is there any chance a custom ROM would be any help? I'll try anything!
Here's a screenshot from just now - 53% and just 3 hours left!
I would be deeply grateful for your help! Only when our phones don't do what they normally do do we really understand how dependent we have become on them...

BTW all I've done earlier today is 20 minutes of internet browsing/email, 30 minutes of phone calls, and 30 minutes of GPS/google maps navigation. Thank you!!
Did you try wiping cache and dalvik in twrp?

Nexus 6 WiFi stuck at turning on

So i've had this issue for a while now. It started off inconspicuously where my phone would hang and reboot everytime it wasn't plugged in to the charger and the wifi was turned on with charge less than 60%. This caused a ton of bootloops so I figured it was a battery issue and i've ordered a new battery. Also, i stopped receiving OTAs from google so i had to manually flash factory images to update my nexus. Now, i had this problem where the wifi would get stuck at turning on but after a few reboots it'd work. However since flashing the N8I11B update (i realized later that i should have been a little more thorough with my research as this was for Verizon users only) my wifi just wouldn't turn on. It's stuck at turning on and refuses to switch on at all. I flashed the MOB31T version of 6.0.1 and still no luck. I did notice duing setup that the MAC was set to 02:00:00:00:00:00. I tried resetting the network settings but no luck there as well. I'm getting my battery changed soon but i know that has nothing to do with it. I hope its a software issue and not a hardware one because that would mean changing the motherboard and i might as well just buy a new phone with that money. Oh, also data services work fine its only the wifi that isn't working. Also keep in mind that i know nothing about linux shell scripting but i'm willing to do whatever it takes to fix this issue myself.

My bluetooth works. Only wifi is giving problems. No, only stock android on my phone
This happened with my phone. It's an issue with a batch of the Nexus motherboards I believe. Some batch of motherboards made by Motorola have an issue where the wifi chip begins to die after 2-3 years.
If your issue is what I think it is: The only solution is getting a replacement motherboard.
Otherwise, you can try opening the Nexus and reflowing the wifi chip. It worked for a couple of days in my case, but only temporarily. Ended up having to get my mobo replaced.

My nexus is a little over 2 years old now. I'd rather buy a new phone. This one needs a lot of fixing....
Thanks for your input

Random reboot

Hey there!
This is a question for experienced ones. Lately my Xz1c restarted by itself 2 times. It would just freeze in the middle of me doing something ... black screen like i should unlock it with fingerprint. I'd try again and again... but nothing. And then, it would restart. Also, some triangle with exclamation point would appear on the screen right before Sony or Android splash screen. But to shortly (less than half a second) for me to see it properly.
First time that it happened, resolution of the screen was messed up after reboot. Left 1/4 of the on screen keyboard was out of the screen. Luckily, my password does not contain letters that were missing so I managed to log in. After I logged in everything was normal.
My question is: is there a way for me to find out what was happening? Can I somehow read some log file that would tell me more about what's going on? Maybe by using adb or something? Or any other way...
Other than that, phone has been working perfectly. But I got worried. Should I be worried?
Phone has original rom. Updated by OTA to the last Oreo (47.1.A.16.20) almost a year ago. Bootloader locked. I didn't touch/modify anything and it was flawless till now.
Any advice/idea is appreciated.
Sorry for the late reply. Have you figured it out?
I'm using the the same FW, and I got the same problem. Repair or Factory Reset doesn't seem to help. Could be possibly an Oreo Bug. Seems to happen mostly while charging. Wifi can cause the problem and "OK Google" Always On.
I disabled OK Google, if that doesn't help I'll try updating to Pie.

Nope. I didn't find out anything. I was thinking about factory reset but couldn't find time to do it. Lately it happened few more times, even while I was sleeping. Phone froze. I had to factory reset. I don't think it's Oreo bug because phone worked flawlessly for a year and then it started. Maybe some Google update that comes with Google play services or whatever updates in the background.
Another idea is, maybe my phone is just out of storage. Do you have a lot of free space on system partition?
When you update to Pie, let me know if problem disappears.
I tried disabling Wifi and "OK Google" both are not the cause for me.
After completely reflashing Android 8 I only had about 3 Months without these crashes/reboots. I nearly ran out of internal storage some days ago, so that really could be a cause of this.
Be sure to Backup your data often, my system broke, had to reflash, fortunately i did a backup of everything.
I have 2GB of free storage now. Let's see if I'll get more reboots.

I have around 1 gig. Should erase a lot of garbage. To many memes inside whatsapp and Signal folders.
Fingers crossed it will be okay .
My Storage filled up to 1GB again, had one reboot, now 3,6GB of free storage. Next try.
Still I'm pretty sure Pie does not have this problem, In the net I saw many people having this problem, but no real solution though, never seen someone with pie complaining. But I don't really want to install Pie :/

I was like that, until I installed it, set it up and themed it. With no official 10 coming, as a I prefer a modified stock experience, updating to Pie was only logical in the long run.

I decided that i don't wanna go to Pie for several reasons... of which I can remember only two
1. I don't like clock to be on the left side
2. TeslaUnread app is not supported in Pie.
There are few more reasons but i really can't remember which. I simply made a decision and forgot all about it.
And I don't remember a single PRO for installing Pie. Unless, of course, it fixes an issue from subject of this thread. But I'm not convinced it will fix the issue.
But thank you for your input! Maybe I change my mind at some point.
Oh yeah there are more cons, like features removed of Sony Apps, for example Album.
Anyway 3GBs of free Storage, no reboot so far. How about you?
6GB free in data partition
1GB free in system
... didn't have a reboot lately. It's unpredictable

So have you guys figured something out to anticipate this random reboot issue?
I just bought this phone month ago, SOV36 au japan, and it still had some sim restrictions.
I am considering to unlock the sim restrictions for around $30-36, and then i'm experiencing this random reboot issue
Do you think it's worth for me to unlock it? Or just gave up on this phone and sell it? ?

Oh yeah i'm running on Pie by the way, never touched the bootloader, nor the system since i bought it
Nope, reboot happened again few days ago. But I can't keep my storage clean. It fills up fast with my usage. Maybe it's storage issue, maybe not. Can't decide. I'm still on Oreo.
So I upgraded to Pie to test it out. I had 1.85GB of free storage, and the reboot/crash happend while I tried to delete an App.
I still have warranty left, should I send it in? I really have no clue what else could be causing this. I'm using the same Apps as always and my Xperia X Compact has never seen a crash or reboot.

@zeroichi what did you do in the end?
I had a japanese device before, long ago and it was a very pretty bad purchase I had the Sony Ericsson Xperia Acro HD, Docomo version, full of bloatware and no Android Update, while the Global Acro S received Android 4.1.2 this one is stuck on 4.0.4 with a locked Bootloader. The Xperia Ace would be interesting for me if it receives Android 10, it even rocks european/german LTE bands! However, without a German firmware.. no Wifi Calls or voLTE. Have you got that working on your japanese device?
I also upgraded my xz1c to Pie. Since then (that's cca month and a half) I didn't have a single restart or slowdown. (data partition 8.1GB free memory, system 720MB free).
I still prefer Oreo look and feel, but my phone is a bit more reliable (for) now.

S10 Random reboot problem.. :crying: hellllllp

hello guys
I have an issue on my S10 and thats just rebooting randomly, even sometimes when im not using it and its standby on the desk.
i search about it and saw someone elese have same problem, so i want to know what is the problem and how to fix it.
i found someone who fixed it with some solution at this topic but that is not my phone model :crying:
i just change my android version to 10 and its not fixed..
i tried home csc and csc files and even tried pit files too..
please hellllp
thanks
Did you try a data factory reset? It might be a hardware issue, I would take it to a local repair shop or contact Samsung on it.

get the factory firmware from sammobile.com and flash it in Odin. be sure to factory reset from within the settings first or the FRP might crop up. This is the nuclear bomb method that 99% of the time fixes any glitches caused by software. You might have a hardware issue, but this will help rule that out

I had this issue with rooted Android 9, too. But it it very strange you get this problem on Android 10 because the kernel panic problem is fixed there. When you are not rooted, you should not have this problem anyway. Try restore your software in Odin like the other users already suggested.

Please let me know if this has worked for you. I'm having a similar problem that only started when i updated to android 10.
I have a totally stock, Verizon S10. Never had a problem with it on 9. After updating i started noticing after about 8-12 hours phone starts getting very sluggish, gets hot, has trouble even doing processor intensive things like opening camera and taking a picture without it crashing back to the OneUI launcher. Launcher would show up blank and take 5-10 seconds to restore my icons and widgets. Lock Screen lags really bad and face rec hardly works if at all. Phone gets really hot and if i look at the CPUs (Antutu BM) they are usually all maxed out.
A reboot fixes everything and then it will be fine again for another 8-12 hours and then, like clockwork, it starts up again. I've done a factory reset with data restore. Didnt fix it. Did another one without data restore and it is still happening. Would an Odin flash be different than a factory reset from the settings menu?

I think I may be onto something. Do you have any battery monitoring apps? I had Accubattery, better battery stats, and gsam battery monitor installed. Gsam and BBS had battery_stats permissions granted via adb. I was beginning to wonder if they were causing some kind of memory drain so I wiped their data and uninstalled them. Immediately after that I rebooted and after 46 hours of uptime there was absolutely no problem. Phone flies and runs cool as ice.
I'm currently installing them one at a time and waiting 48 hours after each install to see if and when the problem comes back.

And I'd just like to add that when my phone starts acting up it gets worse and worse to the point it won't even unlock and go to the home screen. Then it will actually reboot itself. I assume it panicked because it just doesn't have enough ram to complete any tasks.
so maybe its about the battery for you? btw my problem still alive
Guys, I got the same problem, did you guys find a way to fix it? Just realised today that even the system data, i.e fingerprints have been corrupted, what exactly is happening and how to fix this, it has been driving me crazy for the past couple of months.
