Develop Bugs

Let's start looking at battery differently?

Hello friends,
As you may or may not notice depending on your frequency here on xda, we have many people with wide results in the battery department, especially with leaks.
The problem is, these reports are simply not consistant. Posting "I lost 6% in 1" min does nothing for anyone. This post is not to make fun or to bash but to awaken potential ways to help each other.
If you are suffering from poor battery, grab this app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Its called better battery stats and the dev is nice enough to allow it for free to xda members. One of its primary features in our case is tracking down wake locks and kernel wake locks. Instead of posting "my battery life is horrible" do some investigating. Try to find out why. Help out yourself, or hell, if Samsung or sprint are here, maybe you'll help them too.
Just a thought, but srzly, "battery life sucks" is no gud.
So as the leaks progress, feel free to share experiences. Help users help you with locks because I can assure some of your poor battery is not experienced by everyone. And if it is, then we can all determine why.
If you need help understanding the app or how to use it, and you can't figure it out from the apps in app help section then ask.

I've got to say, coming from the Evo 3D, this phone has way better battery life for me. I'm not one to pay close attention to battery stats, screen on time, etc. because I'm usually near a charger every where and hardly ever let it go below 40%. I completely understand what you're saying about the user reports though. My favorite is when a rom gets released, 1 hr later you get the "How is battery life?!" Hopefully members will take you're advice and start looking more closely at it and give better info

Bolded has always been one of those things that made me get a good chuckle.
Good post OP, thanks for the link.

You can also check the "Show CPU Usage" in Developer setting" if you are on an ICS leak and want real time feedback...

+1 I would have to agree with that one myself but it also make me wonder what the heck is wrong with people...LOL
Also as stated previously when coming from a HTC device this is like almost having an extended battery but I will make reference in here of battery life in the future... thx

Yeah, I just came from the OG EVO 4G and it's like having an extra battery. I was looking at posts about bad battery life and chuckling to myself.
But I will install that app and track mine, if we/I can improve it then I'm all for it. Be nice if we can get a number of people on board so we have a good pool of stats to work with, might find something.

I installed BBS but what exactly do I look for? How do I know what's killing my battery? This app just looks like a bunch of numbers and colored lines to me, lol.

When can we get CM12 on Zenfone 2 ? ;)

Hi Folks,
Everyone is eager to know "when can we get CM12 on Zenfone 2?".
We all are fed-up of the official ASUS builds .... (fast charging & fast draining technology together :laugh.
Are people working on building CM12 for ZF2 & when can we expect the first drop ?
Just a hint would also bring new hopes to most of us
I'm really excited to know about this

https://github.com/CM-zenfone2 ?

i guess everyone is wating for the same...

please..first rule of CM or XDA, never ask for ETA, and never ask or push developers to speed up their work or we will never get any of it..
just keep waiting and when the time has come, they will share it with us..just dont keep asking for ETA please.. and i hope that xda newcomer on zf2 forum must learn this word, NEVER ASK FOR ETA for any development..its a taboo here..

I'm not. Something I learned some time back is that unless the kernel and device tree of the aftermarket ROM (like AOSP, or a derivative like CM) is developed by someone that knows every last nook can cranny of the device (as in the OEM, and I don't imagine that happening), the device won't be optimized out of the gate to provide better battery life than stock.
Hacking a device tree from scratch, rather than building on what the OEM has provided (albeit not knowing what route they are going with this one) spells problems. Of my two devices that I had custom ROMs for, neither worked fully (no matter which ROM you chose) or engaged more hardware (something was always missing or broken) , and the battery life was worse than stock (even with modest OS jump, from stock GB to ICS/CM9).
You can see how I voted, although I am not reserved to stock forever. CM13 or CM14 would be the time I would be interested in something other than stock, when the kernel and device tree becomes mature enough to prove myself wrong regarding the above.

The only thing I like in official FW is "double-tap to wake".
But it's actually not "double-tap to wake" because the phone never sleep.
When I watched CPU state with CPU Spy and found out Deep Sleep state never be used.
The reason why it's drain about 1%/hour even not connecting to anything.

I have DT2W active and I have deepsleep..try wiping everything, maybe you have some problem on the phone.

Everyone that wants CM, feel free to devote some time and help build it.

Please dont forget about ze550ml model
(Even if the roms look like they are pratically the same, except for DPI setting)

yeayyy cynogenmod for our zenfone 2 yeHaaaa

You could follow here if you wanted. I believe the only thing you will get here with regards to CyanogenMod for the ZF2 will be the ROM post/thread when it is ready. I understand what you are getting at. My point was this particular thread should not have been made in the first place. A simple search would have yielded info the OP was looking for (with the exception of an ETA).

Shame on me but never saw any CM rom, not even from distance. Can someone link me some good source of picture/video so I can see some good/cool stuff about CM and decide if it is worth more than ASUS stock rom (which is pretty good by me)?

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to take a look at the following thread and, if needed, post your question within it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3631737
I do see some posts regarding other members trying to get an Unofficial LineageOS developed but, nothing has been released yet. Just be patient... Remember that, the greater the need/want, the greater the chances for someone to release it.
Good Luck!

ZTE Blade V8 Pro Update Servers Unavailable

I have recently purchased the ZTE Blade V8 Pro since my old phone died and I needed a powerful, budget phone. I bought it to only find out that the phone is still on Android 6.0.1 but can be upgraded to Android 7.1.1. According to the internet ZTE's update servers are down right now because they are about to roll out a new update or google took away their ability. I am also under the impression that the raw update files for my phone are floating around the internet and I can put them on my SD card and do the update that way. I was wondering if anyone has the most recent update and security patch for my phone and if so can they send me said files. Even if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Edit: The internet has made it clear that this is the most recent update: Z978V1.0.0B19

Dear LineageOS Family,
Hope you are fine. I am using LineageOS 7.1 on I9300. Current baseband is I9300XXUGNA8. I read some topics about this issue and they are saying "make sure baseband is up to date". I don't know this is true or not. I really don't know what is the latest baseband of my phone. Charge is %70 and suddenly downs to %40.
Could you please help me about this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Have a happy day.

Although they are not "supposed to," you might try a few deep discharge cycles to see if there is some charge memory at work here. Probably not, but what do you have to lose? Let it DIE to ZERO (if you can) before recharging it to 100%. Repeat a couple of times (3?, 5?) and see if you notice any appreciable difference in how it holds a charge after that. You might also consider an app like AccuBattery to monitor how your battery performs over time, and if it tells you your battery is done for, well, you have your answer. I also suspect that there is some truth to the line of "hold charging to an upper limit of roughly 80% to maximize battery life" thinking. And as for replacement batteries, many of the 3rd party ones are, to say this discretely, not quite as advertised, so I personally would pick up an OEM issue if you can. Heck, an original is about ten dollars on eBay, so what is you time worth in the hunt? Since it has a replaceable battery, get two and keep a spare. However, it is not exactly the highest capacity battery to begin with, so don't expect miracles.
