Several problems :/ - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I purchase my LG G4 4 months ago, until last month everything was perfect - great battery life, maximum performance and my country language available.
I cant tell for sure, but either just before the update to 6.0 or a week before the phone started to slow down.
My current problems after updating to 6.0 are:
-My Hebrew language is no longer available, i needed to download the app "MoreLocal2" and flash it somehow and even so i need to choose throw the app my language(HEB) after every restart.
Before the update I used Smart Cleaning and in rarely use app the app "Change Language" was there, it was the option the company who sell the phone put inside the phone to make Heb language to work, and Smart Cleaning delete it.
-Battery (!) one of the serious problems, the battery just drain like crazy, Chrome take 1-3% every few minutes, i cant use the phone more then 3-4 hours in average. even less, use.
In addition to this, i charge the phone with the original charger and the percents keep going down, i cant use the phone and charge it in the same time, the battery just drain out, if i keep the phone plugged throw the night with Data off and all apps close its will charge about 30-50% in 6 hours. ??
-The performance are getting low, maybe its because the other problems or maybe its actually does i cant tell for sure.
-I want to delete some apps that comes with the phone(Docs and etc) what the best way to do it?
I thought to change Rom, adding root with Greenify and custom Kernel and hope its will solve most of the problems, but i have a warranty(I am solider in the army and if i send the phone to them i could pick it up after a few weeks) so i prefer to try other options before, BUT most likely change room will cut off the warranty and leave me to solve it alone.
TY a lot! I hope my English is good enough to understand most of it.

Win $5 today!

Hello EveryOne,
I have Imate PDA2K and any one who is going to solve my following two issues i will pay him $5 as a gift from me by PayPal.
The problems are:
1. When ever i remove the battery of my phone to change the sim card the time and date changes to the default time and date something like the manufature date. I try to upgrade the rom to wm5, then wm6 but nothing help. Even the backup battery is showing 100% full all the time.
2. When ever i try to call i press the answer button but the call don't connects. Some times connects and some time i have to try hundreds of time to connect my call. Same thing is for the recieving the call. Some time it connects and sometimes it hangs during answering the call.
I will really pay $5 who will help me to sort out these problems. I buy this device as pre-owned device that's why not able to get help at clubimate.com and hence plan to get help here and pay a part of pre-owned fee to someone here.
Thank you,
1.) it's a backup battery problem, change the backup battery.
eventhough it says 100% doesnt mean it's not failing.
the backup battery is charging from your main battery.
it may show 100% but easy recharged when you put the main battery.
if it is easily recharged... it will easily discharge... hence, flat batt.
2.) i dont know this but it maybe related to main battery failing to give power to the phone module. i had a BA with no service /and/ talks disconnection once but when i changed to a new battery it was gone.

Thanx for your response...
1. Can backup battery easily changable i mean is it like a big battery like we have in our pc motherboards or a special service center have to change it?
2. Let me change the baterry today and see what happens.
no prob... just add your reward to your battery procurement.
and i hope that works...
What else may be?

I have changed the battery today and it done the same call answering problem just one time in over 20 calls before this ratio was 99% of 100% times.
What else may be creating this problem of hanging mobile during recieving the call. And also please tell me which rom of wm6 is best you think i will use?
install 2003se rom back, if u hv 2005.
try xplode's latest cook. it's in the WM6 thread of BA
The rom does not matter (well mine is a lil quicker than others but)
1. Simple SIM change procedure - press power, wait 10-20 sec. , then remove the battery and change the sim. after powering on hit reset once (or you will get no radio) - this way the date will not reset
2. Phone LAG - this problem occures when a lot of memory and cpu power is used for the OS, then the phone starts to lag. Here is a simple tweak which will speed up the phone app - press Start => Settings => Sounds & Notifications , remove the check for Events (warnings, system events)
there are a lot of tweaks which will speed up overall performance of the phone, but you need to search the forums for them
And remember, the phone app is the same for all WM5/6 devices so the tweaks are the same, you can look in other devices forums for tweaks
Thnx Every One!

any replies please?
Provide some more details. What firmware are you on. What performance mode are you on. What did you do with your device. What exactly was 2hrs left ? If you go to power management, on the bottom there is an option for time left details for each specific function you use like calling and browsing. Also the standby time being so many hours does not mean you can actually use the device with the same amount of time. So endurance mode might give you hours of extra standby but using the device would drain the battery as usual.
The 2 hours are based on your average use. The phone doesn't know in advance how it will be used. If it is just laying on the desk it could work another 5 hours.If you are playing a heavy multi-player game, the battery will be enough just for 5-10 min.
I am on b111. Please look at my screenshot, Loon at the time left for movies. I can get 2.5 hours out of the phone, but it says 4 hours.
Also the average use you talked abought in previous post, my phone dies faster than the time left said on standby. What tweaks do you guys suggest? The battery life sucks!! Will b122 give alot of battery improvement? Thanx alot for the replys

B122 is more stable and bug free than b111.
Check if there are other apps draining your battery in the background like google apps sync or autoupdates or location service.
Gsmarena tested our device (most probably on earliest buggy firmware) and they got video playing time of 7hrs: http://blog.gsmarena.com/huawei-ascend-p6-completes-our-battery-tests-here-is-the-full-breakdown/
Set your display brightness to minimum, turn off WiFi, mobile data, synchronization, BT, GPS, screen rotation, background data and so on and test again.

Sorry I am new on this phone. I had an Galaxy Ace till a week ago, I flashed hundreds of roms, kernels, experiments. but on this phone I am afraid of brickin. Its an expensive phone. so I havent even rooted it. I cant seem to find an official B122 firmware. only leaked. so I am affraid to flash it. And I cant find an step for step guide.
Also, my mobile data is on and auto rotate. I have to keep this on otherwise there is no point for me to have this phone.

The bricking happens only with Chinese version roms and not interntional version. And only b111 is official international version. The rest are leaked.
The guides are available as pdf file, when you download the B111 from Huawei website or you can find them at huaweinews.com. And the method is same as how you upgraded to b111.
Yes sure, but it is matters like that which drain the battery more than what it says on the power manager.

In standby overnight, maybe 3-5% battery drain. A lot of things come in play though such as what apps you have installed, if your on LTE, or 3g, or wifi, or even go into airplane mode at night, etc.

first of all , I'd like to thank you for your reply ..
I've bought a new desire 816 two days ago and I can notice something wrong with the battery as it drains faster than normal
and it gives false percent as it increases after restarting the phone ..
I've tried to calibrate the battery by letting in turn off by itself then recharging it to 100% but then I realized It's still giving me false number
I don't know what to do ... It would be great if you can help

Have you tried a battery calibration app such as the one by NeMa in the PlayStore? It requires root but it basically asks you to charge your device to 100% which is done from empty to max in about 3 hours. At this point you go in the app while its still plugged in and "clear" the batterystats. This is the file that tells the device how much charge it can hold and on some devices this file gets buggy/glitched. It will wipe this file away and generate a new one based on the charge the battery holds at max. It then asks you to use the device as normal until it dies and recharge to full afterwards. This has worked for many and I hope it will work for you as well.
If you have excessive battery drain look at the Power settings and review the usage. If it shows a green line on awake and it doesn't show the same matching the screen on time then you have a background app sucking battery from the device. Facebook and its Messenger are known to be the culprits but if you download Greenify from the PlayStore. It will allow you to hibernate practically every app so there is no battery drain when your device screen is off. In combination with this app I am able to get an average day and a half of use with no charge and normal use with Videos, Music, Facebook, Messenger; etc. I average I use about 6-10 hours on this device with pure stock w/ root & Greenify with battery calibration via app done.

Yes, Greenify does require root in order to work but it does work flawlessly.

Unfortunately, the lack of rapid reaction because I was too busy
Pressing the power switch for exactly two minutes and the device will tell you Alglaq Do you want to or not agreed to the demand and calibration Congratulations to you
Thank you
I fixed my battery issue. the exposed software killed mine relating to the same issue i believe you had or have. reporting wrong percentage. once had 50 percent, took it back out of my pocket and within 5 mons i had 4%. wouldnt charge.
Power it off... hold all 3 buttons (power+volume up+volumedown) after 15 seconds it will boot back up. this calibrated my battery. hope this works for you.
Wrong battery percentage report is fixed by HTC on 1.58 rom update. it works fine on 1.58 Rom
My battery on my htc is draining fast I think it went from 100% to 83% percent in like 20 minutes is this normal? I have disabled everything that I'm able to disable on this phone but once it gets to 70% the drainage kinda slows down

Battery suddenly draining rapidly.

My battery suddenly started draining rapidly earlier today. I normally get through a full day after charging overnight, but today the battery was down to 15% after 8 hours with the same amount of use as I do normally.
I let it die out completely since I didn't have my charger with me, then did a full charge once I got home. I took it off the charger and within 3 hours it is back down to 15% again. I have barely even turned the screen on except to check a few incoming messages.
I have just done a cache wipe in the hopes that it will fix itself. Is there anything else I could try? I'm completely baffled.
Well, i was facing same thing untill i did few tweaking like-
1. Go in auto start manager and ****ing close every useless social app(FB) they will suck it up
2. Choose power saver mode u like or use customized one
3. Do not use live wallpapers, well i use to change my wallpaper randomly every 30 minutes
4. Delete useless apps and pray to god that ur battery works like it used to
5. If you wont mind using any custom rom, then install echoe rom its based on stock rom nothings changed much except better battery and performance , i have used it and its awesome i totally recommend it

Thanks for those tips. I have all of that set up already. Custom power saver profile, all unnecessary apps removed or disabled, including auto start manager.
I have not rooted my device, only had it a month so I want to preserve warranty status.
I waited a couple of days to see if the battery would sort itself out, and it did.
Battery life has actually now improved slightly from what it was before the random drain happened.

Hi! 7T T-mobile version. Is it worth to switch from T-mobile firmware to global?

Hi!
I have bought OnePlus 7T T-mobile locked. After some time of usage I've unlocked it (so I can use every network right now) but my phone still got T-mobile firmware on it. Hence my three question about this phone.
Is it worth to change T-mobile soft version to global one? Could someone point me some pros and cons please?
Next question is about battery life. I'm using it all the time in battery saving mode and I'd set screen to 60 Hz but still battery goes fast. Could You share what are you doing to improve battery life?
One more thing which irritates me is that screen turns off time always comes back to 30 sec (I think every charging) and I need to set it back to 2 mins manually. Is there any way to fix this?
I didn't install any tweaks or something like that. My phone is just like it was from the box but Android updated itself to version 10.0.13.HD63CB. Phone version: HD1907.
It is my first OnePlus so if someone have some advices or something about this car I will willingly read those ^_^.
Thanks for help in advance,
Tom.
Unlocked bootloader allows custom roms and more brick-proof. Custom roms and/or custom kernels can help prolong battery while improve performance
I think so I have the tmo version that I unlocked and switched if I could do it again I would I feel it runs better

Now that you have unlocked and switched to the global ROM, can you still use banking apps/GPay and HD Netflix, or does it fail security checks? That's the biggest question in my mind. I don't want to give that up just to have a non-T-Mobile ROM.
@bryantthesmith From what I've read everything should work fine just don't root Your phone and after You've installed global firmware You need to do OTA update and then lock bootloader again. It's important to do that OTA update before locking bootloader. BUT I'm just a noob so it would be better if someone smarter express his opinion on it.

Yes I have no issues with it I did use magisk hide as certain banking apps would not work because of root but not because of what version software.so yes if I root just use magisk hide and I may have to change the name of the app besides that no issues

Assuming you don't want to run custom software, or root your device, switching to global gives you faster and probably more frequent updates, and also if you are so inclined, to be able to run beta software. You lose the t-mobile bloat, you can get a dual sim tray and run 2 sim cards.
the only perceivable downside i've run into is the shelf page that you can switch with discover goes to shelf only.
Once switched over you can relock the bootloader and google pay works fine.
Battery life - what shows as the biggest drain? How often do you reboot? rebooting regularly(1-2 weeks) can fix a lot of little issues - like a pc, did you turn it off and on again.
Screen auto off may be affected by running in battery saver mode - try in regular mode.
Thanks for your reply @andycu . I didn't notice any app draining battery. Maybe it's running down normally but I'm coming from phone with 4500 mah so there must be a difference. Also maybe You are right with that screen auto off because I'm using this phone all the time in battery saver mode, because I don't need that much power lol. Phone seems super fast to me even in power saving mode. Is there a way to hide notification which says that my phone is in battery saving mode? I'm coming to android from iphone and I didn't find how to hide it.

I didn't see a notification, just an outline around the battery, possibly another difference with the t mobile software. what is your screen on time like? Normal use, not using battery saver, with no hardcore gaming i get close to 7 hrs, call of duty and other heavy games suck down the battery pretty quick, as will bad wifi or data connections. The people getting 9 plus hours are streaming wifi video, or downloaded content, not real world use.
By notification I mean when You take down your upper bar with wifi, data switch etc. there's always first notification (when in battery saver mode) that you are using battery saver mode and red caption to turn it off. I cannot tell You about usage without battery saver mode because I'm using it all the time and I don't have any data haha
Just for someones information.
1) Yesterday I moved from Tmobile to global. Short description:
Unlocked bootloader.
Flashed global.
Do OTA.
Locked bootloader again so I don't have any messege at start that device is unsafe etc.
(PLEASE IF U WANT TO DO THE SAME OTA IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL LOCK BOOTLOADER WITHOUT DOING OTA BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN. SO ONCE AGAIN FLASH FLOBAL -> DO OTA -> LOCK BOOTLOADER (IF U WANT)
2) I'm pretty happy with the results. Not much is change tho but battery life seems better and I don't have that ugly notification when I'm using battery saver mode.
If someone got any questions I will try to answer.
