Hi,
Yesterday I came across strange issue. In WinMo, when the phone was off it was charging normally untill the battery was fully charged...
After Flashing Android to NAND I can not do that. It seems to be charging (orange LED is on) for about 10 sec. and than the Display blinks with white light and the phone dies completely.
The only thing you can do after that is to pull out the battery and put it back. Than you can turn the phone on and charge as usually.
What is that issues origin? Battery driver? Or another thingie in Firmware? It seems to be quite strange, that it lights the display even with the phone being off...

My Kaiser does the exact same thing, and what it is, is for some reason the phone is booting back up. I came across this the other day, and my phone did the exact same thing described, and not sure what I did, but I managed to turn on the screen and Android was booted up to the lock screen.
It's even done it when I plug the phone into A/C power without the battery even connected.
so here is why it happens, basicly what would happen is in WinMo when the phone would turn off and boot into a charge loop and it would charge and shut off when finished our kernel doesnt have this built into it so it just boots like normal when power is applied

yup... happens to all of us, its not a big deal... there are a lot of worse problems devs are trying to solve... maybe whn they reach a point where the kernel is more stable they should pay attention to the details like this (and the camera driver, camcoder... etc)

Well that answers my question... Yah knew it was something inside the kernel, just didn't know if it was a bug, or something that wasn't implemented yet.
Of course this is low priority task but I just wanted to have that confirmed to know, that my oldie holdie is not broken or what
Quick question:
How old is your kaiser and/or battery ?
About 5 years with original battery
Sent from my Full Android on Kaiser using XDA App
It used to be that if Linux NBH was flashed, the phone wouldn't charge at all when off. Then somebody (dzo I believe) added code to the kernel so that the phone turns on when it is plugged in, so that it will charge. That used to work, with a full complete boot. Now, as you say, the phone tries to wake up but doesn't really make it. Maybe we should look into that, we should be able to fix that, maybe by looking carefully at the git logs for the past six months or so.
There are bigger problems, like data reliability, but if somebody wants a problem in the kernel that they can study and perhaps fix, this is a good one to start with.
To correctly charge the battery system need to be on so i can do this:
start kernel
in initrd:
if it found the power connected then the phone wait for power button (trying the sleep mode)
else
start the system
i need some testing to do it.
Windows do quite the same thing.

If only the real code was as easy as the pseudocode =)
Well being I can't post on the development board I guess I will have to post my rom bugs here.
So I hope that thegreatergood will see it here.
RootBox-JB-i927-Nightly-20130212
BUGS
1) Either the new hardware keyboard lights fix by scottbot95 doesn't work or it wasn't included in this rom. I can see the hardware keyboard lights still come on while the keyboard is closed when the capacitive buttons are used. This leads me to believe that the new patch wasn't applied to rom.
2) Bluetooth still not working in regards to audio in, but audio out works and voice dialer no longer screams in your ear.
Confirmed Fixes
LiteKernel-4.2-20130212
1) Battery life... I have no app but the default battery app.
If the use by the kernel would be measured under Android System, then I think there is an issue.
Android System is at 27% after 45 minutes of use while screen is only at 23%.
This correlates unscientifically to what I witnessed in CM10.1 with LiteKernel-4.2-20130211 after 5 hours of pretty regular use playing games, backing up, downloading, and etc. Android System was almost equal with screen on battery usage.
I believe this to be a bug because before I upgraded while using LiteKernel-4.2-20130120, the screen usage was easily double the usage of Android System, under similar use patterns.
I am flashing back to CM10.1 and will test this more under daily driver.
2) The WIFI power manager, am I just missing where to turn it off? I am sorry and the work you do is amazing thegreatergood but it has to be one of the most annoying things I have ever encountered.

1) I had the same issue... But i checked and some times there is a process that tries to turn on the screen, and keeps doing it forever, until you reboot the phone... I use pop up notifications from whatsapp and this happens alot... but sometimes you realize to late.. and the battery is already gone....
2) The same with you... It is really annoying... I already read in a post from dmans.. that he will put an option to disable that...
Hi guys, I don't know if this is supposed to be either a feature or a bug, but since I replaced the battery cover from the original Quick Cover folio case (CCF-210) to the non-folio one, everytime I charge the phone the Notifications LED becomes dim as if brightness setting was set to zero. I have the unlocked AT&T E980 model immediately flashed with Panama ROM (full stock, non rooted) since I bought it a month ago. I made a few tests to check if this is a hardware or software issue (if it's an issue at all) and so I did the following:
* Using the non-folio case, when phone is NOT charging, the LED brightness is NORMAL (i set it to 80% brightness)
* Using the non-folio case, when phone is charging, the LED brightness is DIM (as if 0% brightness). I check the settings it's still set at 80%
* Using the Quick Cover case (auto screen off is turned ON), when phone is either charging or not, the LED brightness is NORMAL
Is anybody else experiencing this? Is the phone supposed to do this or not? I'm thinking of hard resetting the phone, but I wanna make sure I'm the only one experiencing this before I do.
No response from anyone? I guess I'm alone on this one...

I do know that when charging your phone there is a setting for the LED to change the colors or disable it, on certain roms. that's the only thing I can say about it.. sorry I wasn't more help

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I tried changing the settings and then testing it again, but the LED keeps on dimming out (dropping to 0% brightness) when I connect the charger. LED works fine & normal when the charger isn't connected. It's nothing that affects performance though, it's just a really weird and annoying behavior.
Since it looks like I'm the only one experiencing this, I'd probably try to hard rest one of these days (when I'm not lazy anymore hehe) and hope it fixes the weird behavior.
how to make it brighter in general
i was gonna ask a similar question, are you saying the notification LED in home button right? Mine is so dim when charging, i can hardly see it, I have seen it much brighter when powering off phone and turning on phone, how can I make it brighter at all?
I am on ROOT E988 version by the way, stock ROM

Yes, that's exactly it. So it's not specific to just the E980 Panama ROM since your experiencing the same on your E988. Same here, I can hardly see the green notification or the red breathing light when the charger is plugged in, especially during daytime. So is this supposed to happen or is it a bug? Do anyone else notice this on your LG OGP?

Cool!!! Thanks. Saved me from the hassle of doing a factory reset. :good:
Ive had a G4 for about 3 weeks now, and would greatly appreciate a little help as a few of the other forums seemed to not offer much advise.
1. When the phone is at rest and charging, the LED flashes/beeps on and off a red color. When it's fully charged the LED flashes Green. Aren;t these lights supposed to be solid? Could my unit be defective? Ive heard yes and no answers.
2. With auto dim set to off and screen brightness at 65%, almost everytime i unlock the phone it auto dims by itself. Ive never experienced this with any other phone except the G3 a year ago. it this normal?
3. On standby the battery does not deplete. Like ever. It was at 88%, and 3 hours later was at 88%. But 5 minutes of simply chrome browsing brought it down to 81%. 5 minutes.
im not rooted, and use only stock, AT&T software. I really like this phone, but want to make sure they aren't all like mine.
Thanks
I have 815 UK version (or international as some people say, or European... or Korean...lol) Anyway, when charging I am shown solid red, when fully charged, solid green. Not sure about the brightness thing, I have mine on auto all the time as I'm afraid of losing too much battery lol. Depletion of battery at rest sounds about right, if it's not doing anything why would the battery go down? However yes, chrome is very resource heavy and I suggest using the stock browser (if you have it, for example on the 815).
IMO.
yeah the charging flashing light was very disturbing, maybe it's defective? but other people say theirs also flash

There is a known issue with the LED light no clearing properly on the G4, here, try this.
Notification LED issues
The notification LED issues have been reported on some G4 handsets, wherein the phone's notification LED keeps flashing randomly even when no notification has been received. In some rare cases, it is ascertained that the LED continues to blink even after dismissing the notification.
Potential solutions
This is a relatively common issue found in Android 5.0 Lollipop, which can be fixed using the Clock application that can be downloaded here. Although this is not an issue with the Clock app itself, it is a means to fix the Notification LED issue.
The issue seems to occur on some devices after receiving notifications from third-party messaging apps like Whatsapp. Such faulty apps could be removed to check if the problem persists. If the issue is gone after the removal of the app, you may need to install the latest app update from the developer to resolve the issue permanently.
If everything else fails, just turn off the LED completely, by going to Settings > Sound & Notification > Notification LED.

It doesn't apply to notifications. I use a LED color app and that works fine...it's when the phone is charging.
Which model have you got?
standard, USA AT&T Model...H810

Mine also very slow to full red light and slow to no light while charging.
Full green when is fully charged.
I was thinking it was a feature....

Yes, the LED orange light will "breathe" like you see on Macbooks or other charging devices, it gets brighter/dimmer gradually/smoothly. So if your LED is "blinking" ON/OFF then that is not normal. It should gradually and smoothly pulse brighter and dimmer.
Mine blinks, on and off. Like a notification but with a 1 second interval. When charged does the same thing but is Green.
You say yours pulses. Others say it's a solid color.
Why is this device so buggy across the board? I feel it truly does everything, and is beautiful, yet I feel theres very little consistency in performance.
I'm going to write an email to LG, and try to find out exactly whats supposed to be happening when this phone is charging.
From my limited time with this puppy, I've noted that mine's blue (for notifications and full charge) and red (charging). And no, I'm not color-blind. Yet.
Afternoon Gents,
Elephone have posted another 7.1.1 stock rom for this unit dated the 14.08.17
http://www.elephone.hk/downloads
Fixes?
* This one looks like it fixes the severe battery drain as the unit now correctly powers the screen down when in standby.
* Time for first GPS fix is greatly improved.
* 5th July Android Security Patch.
Basically we're back to the stability of the late 6.0 builds with faster GPS.
Here's the annoying part
I've been in discussions with Elephone via FB and email to their Engineers. They are insistant that this update has been released OTA on Mon 21st, BUT my phone never got it. I've done repeated checks on multiple fibre, VDSL and VPN connections and it either returns no connection or Device up to date I've had to manually flash the scatter file from their website then flash the phone, which obviously completely resets everything.
Hi, on Monday 21, i have receive this update.
Before this, no problem for me with my S7 4/64 on Android 7.1.1...
Now, after update : very big battery drain, and zero notification , exept SMS ( no notification of games, app ....)
So there is a big problem
Have you done a factory reset. I have had similar issues after an OTA, especially with the fingerprint scanner. A full reset fixed it.
Factory reset done , so :
- Battery drain : the same after reset
- Notification : sometimes it work, sometime no ????
- LED notification : OK
- Charging : return of the sound when connect / disconnect charger OK now

Hmmm. Interesting. I have an S7 64/4 and on the latest update:
* Battery drain is significantly reducced. Previously this was caused by the screen not turning off when going into standby leading to rapid battery drain. My screen now goes completely off after 30 seconds and I get about 36-48 hours on a charge.
* LED notification is fixed, although the colours marked in the menu are wrong. I think there are 7 colours in the menu but only 3 work.
* Charging sound functions normally.
Did you use the OTA? What happens when you use the upgrade on the website? I wonder if they may be differennt somehow.

Ok so some news :
I've been back to 7.1.1 2017.05.17 that is working very good for me ... And BINGO, no problem with this version ... and NO BATTERY DRAIN

Oh well. If it works for you, that's the main thing. Mine was horrible on the May release.
Are you using the Elephone cover with the window in the front?
I'm using the silicone cover sold with the phone.
Why this question .

The extra cover you can buy with the window in it works with the Hall sensor in the phone to turn the display to the clock then off. In the May/June firmware, this process wasn't working, the screen always stayed on leading to terrible battery drain

It's not only that the screen is always on but the CPU scheduler for the device is badly optimized.
It won't properly shut down the performance cores or multimedia cores when using phone only for simple stuff like reading web, watching youtube or sms.
Plus when the phone goes to sleep, all cores are on at 1GHz randomly.

Hi Guys. Has anyone encountered something like this ever.
My Elephone s/ is dead, n response whatsoever. It heets up on charger but does nothing. No response at all.
