After almost six months of waiting, here it is: the first stable release of Nougat for our Elephone P9000 European and Asian variant (there's no support for US model in this ROM)
Original thread: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-13393-1-1.html
Firmware Download (MEGA)
SPFlashTool (MEGA)
Elephone MTK drivers (Driver Test Signing required) (MEGA)
--- First Impressions ---
- Installation was OK. Did a dirty flash over the previous BETA without overwriting USERDATA.
- Had to reflash TWRP, even if I unchecked RECOVERY while flashing.
- Magisk 12 is working like a charm, with ROOT support.
- Laser focus is working, option is now in camera app instead of a global setting.
- Fingerprint reader is working, feels faster but still lacks a little precision.
- Users report that fast charging is working.
- SafetyNet still reports CTS profile mismatch.
- This version is not available as OTA, but next one should be OTA compatible.
Fast charge is not working. Everything else is really good
screen censor

20% in 16 minutes... looks like it's working fine for me. The screen just wasn't updated...
BTW, I'm using Elephone's original fast charger and cable...
---
2:31 an is fully charged. 75 minutes for 85%... I remember that before it did 100% in about 70 minutes. Good thing, even if it's a little slower, it didn't get insanely hot... so in the end they changed the fast charge function, or it's just charging really quick with the standard 5V2A mode... Maybe they just limited it to 9V fast charging instead of the full 12V? Any ideas?

Whats your definition of fast charging? For me fast charging is working:
from 20% to 80% about 45min with original Elephone fast charger and original Elephone cable
Usually i charge the battery only up to about 80%
Fast charging with pump express has not worked since the 20160608 ROM, if you really want to see how fast pump express plus is then flash 20160531 which charges a whole 100 in 67 minutes. On this ROM it takes me 2 hours to charge from 30 to 100. Before on pump express it would take 55 minutes and without it before this ROM it would take 90 minutes. This ROM charges even slower. And you can't check the voltage since the power is not present in this mtk app
What is the battery life?

Pump express never works until 100%! For me a full charge with nougat needs about 90 min (from 10 to 100%), for me and on my P9000, fast charging is working
Battery Life is like in marshmallow

It does not work. The phone doesnt even charge above 5v and 8w in this ROM. If you don't know how to check it then turn off your phone whilst charging and see if it has a 3d battery animation instead of the 2d one

I do not care about a missing animation. I see the reality on my p9000, as i have already said, charging time in real life from 20 to 80% is about 45min on my phone.
If you say fast charging is not working on your phone i do accept this, on my phone its working!

It's not about how quickly your phone charges, it's about the technology involved.
I think mine is not fully working, as it still is charging fast, but not as fast as before in last the Nougat beta (That's why I think it may be working at up to 9V). I'll try to get an USB power meter, but here in my country and city they're really scarce... and the few that I've found are for 5V operation only...

What is this animation like? Is it like waving blue water (I remember that in the latest beta)? Here at work, with normal charger I get calm blue water filling the battery. I'll check with the PE+ charger when I get home.

It's a 3d image of the battery rather than the flat 2d one which is perfectly rectangular

I think I've never seen it, even with the latest Nougat beta where PE+ was definitely working... as my phone charged full in about 70 minutes and got hot as hell in the oven. For my it always has been a rectangular battery with waving blue water inside.
---
Factory Mode reports charging voltage of 4.7 volts with the PE+ charger, almost the same as the standard 5.0V2A charger included with my P9000 or the P5000's charger... so at least in Factory Mode PE+ is not working. Also I got blue slooshing water in the OFF battery indicator with the 3 chargers tested. So I bet it's a systemwide issue unless PE+ doesn't activate itself in Factory mode.
BTW, a fun fact: I've never could get OTG to work with my phone, and in Factory Mode there is an OTG test marked in red instead of the green of all the other options... OTG Status: FAIL... I'll try Factory Mode later with something connected in OTG mode...
---
OTG Confirmed working
Check the mouse pointer just around the Whatsapp icon...

BTW, OTG only works with USB type C OTG adapters; I tried to use an microUSB OTG adapter (the one included with my P5000) with a microUSB to Type C adapter, and it didn't work and also prevented OTG from working until a reboot. With the Type C OTG adapter it even pass the Factory Mode OTG test
Does the cable make a difference while charging in order to fast charge or just the charger itself???

I understand that you need a good quality cable for PumpExpress+ to work. I remember that when PE+ was working for me, it didn't work with a generic cable and just worked with the original cable included with my phone and with another good quality cable that I bought...

I used a USB c cable with a 56k resistor. It worked fine on the ROMs that worked with pe+. The included one in the box shouldn't be plugged in the PC since it doesn't have the 56k resistor

I think it isn't compatible. Latest rom was 2016/06/21 I think... but as there is supposedly just minor differences between P9000 and Lite *wink*wink*build.prop*wink*wink, once the Nougat release goes gold you should have a Nougat rom too, official or not.
Hi guys,
I've also posted this question in Elephone Forum, but maybe here I'm getting more qualified informations:
I've updated my P9000 with this 7.0 nougat version and everything is working smooth except my GPS. It's really crap since the update, even more unstable than in 6.0 marshmallow.
I've flashed without userdata in "Download Only" mode.
Could a flash with overwriting the userdata fix the GPS problem?
And should I flash in mode "Firmware Upgrade" or is "Downlod Only" sufficient?

Hey, so i just received the android 10 update. I was already running the android 10 beta for some time now. After the update, my wall charger (Tronsmart, type C with PD) stopped working. I was able to rapid charge my pixel with the same charger earlier, but now it simply stopped charging. I used 3 different type C to type C cables with that power brick, but pixel doesnt get charged whatsoever. I tried using some cables that i had lying around, which are not really the top of the line kind of things but still usually get the job done. These are usb C to A cables that I have used previously with my pixel. However, after the update, the phone shuts down within a couple of minutes, if i connect any of those cables. I searched around and some people have had the same issue after android 9 beta update. Using an old toothbrush, i gently cleaned the charging port, but nothing changed. Right now, i am finally able to charge phone with my PC using an old type C to A cable that shipped with my old HTC 10. However, my computer says usb device not recognized and as you`d expect, its charging pretty slowly. I even tried resetting the phone but the problem
Any ideas as to what might have caused this? Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
TIA

My wife noticed the same thing on her 3a since the update
I also experienced the same problem since i upgraded to android 10. Been roaming google for possible solution, found nothing so far except rolling back to android 9 or wait for an update to fix this bug.
I charges my phone with a usb a to c cable using a power delivery compatible brick (18w, 3A), it is able to fast charge my pixel.

I had to RMA my first phone due to this issue. If you google search pixel 2 xl charging issues you'll find many people who have run into this issue. All of them pretty much end with "RMA phone".
It started out my third-party charger would reboot my phone the moment it was plugged in. My original charger stopped charging the phone soon after.
My computer would only sometimes (1 out of 15 - 20 tries) read my phone so I could unroot it. All of the other times it would pop up as unrecognized.
This is typically due to a hardware issue (loose/damaged port circuitry because of bad quality components or soldering). It gets worst and worst 'til nothing works and phone reboots when you connect the cable... and RMA is the only solution.
IMHO, mainstream usb-c operating amperage is too hard on the ports, specially due to heating. I would prefer to have a not so fast charging technology that would not damage the phones. And yes, this happens on many usb-c phones, not only Pixels.
But hey, maybe you have a different problem related to software
My phone is powering down sometimes,when i plug the charging cable.This happend after android Q update.

Rotating the USB-C cable helps. One orientation (no charging / or slow charging at best) the other orientation rapid charging.
Sadly it appears a number of our phones appear to be having charge port issues as they age...
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
Not sure if it's because I recently flashed the latest 10 factory image (2 days ago) but my device charges on all the cables, chargers and on the PC as it did prior to flashing the 10 factory image, I even get the charging rapidly notification...
Did this happen immediately to those who are experiencing it? Or did it happen after some time on 10?
Well, glad I came across this thread. I've been having troubles with charging in the last few days also.
TL;DR: Starting this past Sunday, my chargers would report "charging slowly" and not really charge the phone, whether in normal mode, safe mode, or off. Updated to 10 on release day. They all magically started working last night.
Story version: Woke up Sunday and pulled my Pixel 2 XL off the charger to find it at the same percentage battery was when I plugged it in. When I plugged it back in, it reported charging slowly. It's plugged into an Anker USB C to A, and the Anker IQ two port charger. My Wife's PIxel 2 was plugged into the other port, with another of the same cable. It was charging fine. I unplugged hers and plugged mine in, reported charging slowly. I grabbed my Anker battery pack, and used the included USB C to A cable that I've used before, got "charging slowly." I rebooted the phone and got the same results. I powered it down and left it charging, same results. I tried safe mode, same thing. All these chargers/cables/battery packs work perfectly fine on my Wife's Pixel 2.
I was in the car and tried my cable/adapter in there. That one worked. I have a CableMatters 2.0 amp lighter adapter and an Anker braided USB C to A cable. I brought the cable and phone in the house, and tried the cable with my existing Anker 2 port wall charger and it worked. Weird why it would work for my Wife's but not mine, but oh well, at least I could charge the phone. Later on, I took the car cable and connected to the battery pack, charging slowly. I brought it back to the Anker wall charger, charging slowly. Tried my laptop and PC USB 3.0 ports, charging slowly. I brought the car cable and the house cable back to the car, and both cables worked just fine in the car. So, at this point, it doesn't appear to be a cable issue, but something intermittent with my chargers.
I dug up a Monoprice USB A charger I had, that has a 2.0 amp port. Tried that last night, and every cable I have charged normally with it. Just to further test, I then took the cables back to the Anker wall charger, and it worked also. To make it more frustrating, the Anker battery pack also started playing nicely and charging. I feel like it's a software issue with the phone, but I have no viable proof of it. I upgraded to 10 on launch day and have had no issues since. The only other thing I did was install Accubattery after I had an idea to try and monitor charging rates.
I did the October 2019 update and noticed this morning zero charging over night. I use an Anker multi-port brick with 2-ports fast charging. Thanks for the Accubattery idea. It shows 1 Amp charging off the 2.4 amp port. I may have to roll back the October update if I can.
I have noticed over the last few months that the screen uses a huge amount of battery. I can see the percentage drop as I scroll through the news.
Guysss I found the solution ! I had the same problem but this easy fix helped me ! Hope it's gonna work for you.
First you have to drain your battery to 1 or 2 %
Second step, hard reboot your phone (long press lock for 10 s)
As it's without battery it won't reboot but it will show the low battery sign.
Plug in your fast charger and it will show the sign that it's charging, wait a few seconds, boot your phone without unplugging the cable. And that's it. It should work.
I can't believe in so happy it got fixed for me I was suffering for two weeks after the update and no response from Google. The firs time in long time I see 70%>>>
---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------
Update : if you don't want to wait for your battery to drain, you can do this instead.
Long press volume down and power for 10 sec.
It will take a screen shot (normal) but wait for the 10 sec.
You will have a menu, choose using the volume up and down to navigate "power off" ( by default it will be power on).
Plug your fast charger and it should start charging

ive tried doing the second option and i never get a menu, it just straight up reboots.
my problem seems to be similar to those stated here before. i cant use my original charger that came with my pixel.
i can use the usb c port on this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0778JNN4B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with any of the cables i have. none of the cables will allow me to use the original charge brick anymore. i can use the only usb c -> a cable that i have. (its the standard one that comes with the nintendo switch pro controller) i even tested with the nintendo switch dock cable and it seems to work fine. i am outside of warranty so i cant have google fix it any longer(literally started issues 20 days after my warranty ended...). im gonna try draining it down till it dies and try my original charger again to see if it will do it but i was wondering if anyone else has come up with any other solutions to this problem. im thinking about reflashing it to see if that will do it and if that doesnt maybe go to a custom rom to test that even just wondering if anyone else has tried these options so i can have an idea if its gonna possibly work for me or not
hi man.
So weird you couldn't get that menu, try holding for 20 seconds instead of 10 seconds. It should work keep doing it until the phone goes off completely.
Trust me I did it again and it worked. Every time fast charging stops working I do this trick and it works.

idk, i have tried holding it even past the point of it turning off and still no menu, but i finally got it to die completely and it still didnt seem to be working on the chargers i was having issues with, after going for a ride in my car and using AA oddly enough it seems to be working fine, no idea.
Try holding the UP volume button and power.
Mine just started doing this, I left it plugged into the plane the whole trip flying overseas. (Probably shouldn't have done that)
Hi ,
i'm facing charging issues on my s 20 plus it is only charging on the cable mode and the super fast charging mode is on and i'm using the original charger and cable. I've tried soft resetting and turining the phone on on the safe mode and still the problem is there. I started having problem after getting a moisture detected notification on my phone and it went away but the problem is still after a day. Does anyone have any fix for this problem?
Just started having exact same problem, no ideas yet?
I thought my charger was faulty, same issue with me, no chance for my s20 to get charged wirelessly, no matter fast or not. I think the last security update was buggy maybe
It's not you. I noticed that my wireless fast charging immediately broke after the last update. They all start to fast charge, then a few seconds later reverts to standard charging.
Thankfully, I can still fast and super fast charge with my USB C chargers.
I saw it on different Samsung forums, Reddit and the Samsung Members app. All reporting similar issues and the only thing they all had in common was the last update. I do believe it's software and Samsung needs to fix it. I know my chargers work fine as my work S7 still fast charges on all of them but it's on an old software version.
Hello,
since installing sep 1 security patch I have strange problem with wireless charging. It like recognizes the charging pad, starts charging and says "fast wireless charging" and says i.e. 45 minutes to full. Then a couple of seconds and it changes to "charging" and time changes to 3 hours. and then back to fast charging. And cycles this. And it doesn't charge much
Now I don't know if it's connected with sep 1 security patch but it started happening after that. I didn't drop it or anything. It charges through cable normally. The issue is not with charger, since I have 2 identical charging pads at home and at work, and the phone does the same with both...
Any ideas?
Thanx!
It is. I reported this to Samsung and it's all over Reddit as well that others on the latest update are having the exact same issue.
My other device still fast change on the same chargers and the only difference is that my S20+ was just updated. I don't plug my phone in, so I noticed it immediately as I just have wireless charging in the house for the most part. Thankfully USB C fast and super fast charging still work fine, but that's beside the point. I'm hoping this new update (when it's available) fixes this.

Wow, thanks mate, I was getting depressed because of this, good to hear it is a software thing. I'd hate to have to return it and get another phone took me ages to set it up and migrate everything from my old S8 plus
Hi everyone!
I'm investigating charging issue with A70 Europe version.
Bought used one with stock ROM, then unlocked and installed crDroid based on android 10.
Additional modules: Magisk, EdXposed, FakeGapps, MicroG
Apparently after ~1-2 years it started charging really slowly.
(Used orignal adapter and cable) So I thought it was broken and changed it.
It didn't help
I recently moved to LineageOS 20 straight from crDroid.
Issue persisted and I was annoyed with it so much that I checked charging parameters with Wattz app from f-droid.
With different cables and adapters I'm able to achieve Max 0.4 A with 2A charger.
Where in most cases it is 0.1A with 1.5A charger
I got it to the cell phone repair where I said I suspect that it may be the port as it stopped transferring any data.
They fixed port but charging issue persisted.
In that moment I decided to try fix it myself.
I opened the phone and changed battery as it was also discharging fast.
It didn't help.
I started reading some similar threads here.
So what is left:
- change the tape that connects main board with port (it is said to be a common issue on samsung device)
- reflash stock rom and see what happens there.
what do you think?
do you need any pictures of the phone or other details?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
Device is A705FN
Did both.
Changed ribbon cable that connects main board with port and flashed stock ROM based on android 11.
Disabled adaptive charging in settings.
But it didn't help.
This could mean that it is some other hardware issue but I'm run out of ideas...
Other observation:
Measuring Watts:
(Stock charger) When I power on the phone, drain is ~10W till it enters offline charging mode or system is on, then it stays exactly 0.5W ! I'm not sure if it is charging. When system is powered it says no.
To compare with my msm8998 based Sony Xperia ~10W till it enters offline charging mode, then it stays at something like 4.6W with 1.5A charger.
Both tested while charging above 90%
I'm totally pissed of. I put money to repair it but nothing seems to work.
I'm sure about one thing - I'll never ever buy any other samsung smartphone.
This sounds like a charging board issue from the very beginning. Charging problems do happen on this phone sometimes but usually just reseating the ribbon cable is enough to make it work again. Perhaps some chip has failed, though this happens much more rarely.
