Hi, i m using Z1 (C6903) for more than 2 years and recently after updating my phone to 14.6.A.1.236 (OTA) i see mobile battery drains so fast and tried reinstalling same version by downloading from XperiFirm and flashed but still by battery drains so fast not even 5 hrs. Is it a bug in this version ? and my keyboard (Xperia chinese keyboard) stopped responding and phone restarted and from that time Learn words and quick fixes (Text input settings) not working. Tried to uninstall keyboard update and rolled back but still the same problem tried to clear App data but didnt work out. How to fix all these problems. Tell me the solution ASAP as i m not able to use my phone as battery drains faster and not able to text easily.
I'm running that version on my unrooted Z1 with no such problems.
Make a backup of anything you want keeping, then try a factory reset, or do a full wipe and reflash the firmware.
I replaced the battery on my Z1 after 18 months or so as it was going bad.

Hi! I am starting this discussion / poll in the hope that people will think twice before upgrading (unofficially) to Nougat. So far, what I see is 3 outcomes: 1) Device gets bricked 2) Unofficial Nougat has major bugs and people decide to downgrade back to Marshmallow 3) Upgrade is successful and user is pleased. I think that the latter scenario is actually quite rare and I feel for inexperienced people who brick their device. My question, before you try to upgrade unofficially: is it worth it?
People who brick their device doesn't follow the steps as there are written.
for example t hey flash the b370 version without the additional package and they reply 'bluetooth isnt working'
i encourage people upgrading to nougat because of the new ui, the better battery/ram management and the appearance of drawer
i rollbacked too many times to marshmallow, upgraded to nougat without any problem or brick, just follow the steps and the installation is successful.

I have two p9 lites,and they are both running on b370,updated trough hicare (1.99gb),and it works perfectly.Battery life,camera,bluetooth,everthing works amazingly compared to older nougat betas.
L-31 P9, Battery life is much better used to get only 4 hours on screen time watching videos now i get 6 with 25% left so easily 7 (my screen is always at 60% brightness) I'm not rooted because i didn't flash it after but i will root soon using a PC (I'm new to rooting (came from IPhone) yet i can easily do it probably because I'm a very techy person) anyway it seems faster my camera and everything works fine i used to get 1.8gb 4am max now i get 2.2 (with no apps running) also split screen works very well and is not laggy at all, one complain i have is the live wallpaper i used for some reason stoped working after i updated (black hole stock love wallpaper) i went into settings to re apply it as it's happened once before on MM but i said there was no wallpapers at all not even still ones, if someone could give me a link to the live wallpaper I'd really appreciate that but other than that no complaints at all it's much better than MM it even has a F.LUX like function built in to reduce blue light levels to help late at night so you're not wide awake , the pull down menu has Many and i mean Many more functions not just 5-10 there's probably 20+ and you can have more than 5 at one time, notifications are good and work well, everything seems overly big to me but thats probably because i used to have my phone on a 300 DPI before de-rooting and updating, like i was saying it has almost no drawbacks it's very polished If you install it correctly (one package before the other and it only takes 20 mins max and you data is not deleted i used tarp not the one from this forum but it works the same i got logged out of apps and that's all that's happend when i updated)

I agree 100%.
Upgrade to newer version of OS, official or unofficial, is one of the best thing of Android. But people need to be careful with their device, if it's not an OTA update obviously there are some steps to follow.. every device is different and just flashing whatever without attention may cause problem. Reading the steps to follow takes only 1 minute.
I'm on B132, is there a quick way to upgrade to B370? I've tried hi-care app but says no updates
Thanks

I take your points but looking at the answers and questions forum again today, I still think the number of people bricking or downgrading is quite high. I love Nougat too, but I am warning newbies that it might be worth waiting for an official update or if not, concentrating on what you're doing. My penny's worth...

I updated to B370 but had to downgrade to mm because my camera wasn't working, but overall it was a great experience. Can't wait to get an update where my camera works.

I see a lot of people have camera issue on l31 but for l21 everything seems to be OK. I have B370 on my l21 and I don't even think about rolling back to MM. Newest firmware is (at least in my opinion) stable and for now it runs flawlessly

I have not managed to update my phone to Nougat. Everytime i try to use firmware finder or Hi suite , it keeps downloading the 1,24GB package and not the 1,99GB so i end up with a generic a15 Test Key phone

I think that you must be bootloader unlock and rooted to use TWRP method . Too complicated for me :/
I have L21C900B170 after the fifth or sixth failure to go to 370 .
Whatever I try through Firmware Finder or HiSuite it keeps downloading the 1,24GB file and not the 1,99 Gb upgrade so I always and up with ND90 test key .
Something is blocking it but no one knows what

It's really not all that difficult and there are several guides around here. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting MM is pretty much without risks. I'd say go for it.

Then this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932
Looks like there is a majority of successful upgrades after all!
Well I did an upgrade and although at first I thought I 'borked it' - the build I have is 'NRD90M test-keys'
But I have to say after manually installing google keyboard and getting a few play store updates installed, it feels like an absolute rocket compared to the old EE B132 version

Hi there,
My mother in law has a Doogee X5 for a couple of years now. I noticed there was aan OTA update available dating september 2015. So I decided to update the device (better late than never). Everything went OK, but now there is a battery drain from 100 - 0% in less then ten minutes.
Does anyone experienced this also? Furthermore: What can I do about this. Settings > Battery does not show any info so it seems....
I am thinking about rooting it and try one or more custom roms using SP_Flashtools, but that can take a while before I am able to do this.
Help is much appreciated.
1) I would suggest flashing Official ROM,
2) I would even more reccomend TWRP (custom recovery), and when you have TWRP you could put custom ROM on sd card, and install it via TWRP
There are a lot of custom ROMs for that smartphone, I would surely go with that (if you have the knowledge how to do it), and not with Doogee Official ROMs.
Doogee has tendency to put shady stuff on their smartphones (or just not optimized), without user knowing it.
But.. If you dont wont to do something like that..., then, I would try factory reset
MIUI 8 for Doogee X5

Friend, I recommend that you install a Custom ROM, I have MIUI 8 installed and I am doing wonders, it saves me a lot of battery.
Search on miui.es no XIAOMI devices

Do you have a copy of the ROM zip still? I've been having a hard time finding it. Also, which TWRP did you install? None I've found will flash.
Hi guys,
Which method is better? OTA update or Odin update? If I do OTA I'd do a factory reset but I still think there'd be 'remnants' of previous OTA especially in this case moving from Nougat to Oreo.
Because I did the OTA update, factory reset but now I'm facing battery draining faster than normal.
Battery draining.........
For one, I prefer a full wipe, none of the update stuff, so Odin would be my method.
Second, Battery draining after recently flashing is normal, You need to allow time for the device to settle. The kernel needs to do alot processes after a flash and normally you dont see decent battery until 24 hours.

Yeah, I'm flashing the firmware via Odin now. Hopefully that resolves it.
That could be it too, as it was factory reset so it was still 'setting up'.
Thanks
Hi all,
Has anyone updated their S10 5G to Android 11 with the EE firmware that's now available even though they are using a different carrier?
I'm currently on 3 UK as my provider but interested in updating via the mentioned method as now the update has been pulled by Samsung, it could be a while before we get it
Cheers
did you try it?
Mine is vodafone,I did factory reset and updated EE android 11 rom via odin, battery drain is an issue but since latest update yesterday its seems to be fixed,super fast
I recommend to go for it ✌check for latest update soon after you flashed the rom.
Yeah I went ahead last weekend as my battery was draining badly and needed a factory reset anyway. All went fine and removed the bundled apps without issue. No had any battery drain issues like ramy. Anyone else curious about it should go ahead too. Not a huge amount of difference in OneUI 3 and Android 11 but it's just a bit more refined and smooth
