Heya!
So i just got this Nvidia tablet with blisspop/lollipop or whatever it's called already installed.
Now i've been trying to read through some of the threads on this page but it honestly feels like im reading a different language.
I've noticed the Nvidia power options is gone from the tablet and since im lagging pretty bad often when playing games although not all the time, i'd like to fix this.
I thought the best option would be to increase my cpu usage, do you guys have any guides or tips for me on how i could do that?
Thanks in advance!
honestly, the kernel included in blisspop is plagued with odd behavior.. hangs, audio skips, and weird lag that comes and goes without reason...
some say it works fine for them, but myself and many others have had this issue... so, that is probably your problem.

I understand, is there anything i can install which works better? or am i stuck with the current "kernel" as it's called?
Sorry, i'm not familiar with the contents of blisspop and such.
you can try the official firmware, but if you bought the tablet with blisspop installed on it already... it is probably killswitched... so you need to follow the instructions here or risk breaking your tablet for good.

I'll check it out!
One last question; if i just use it regularly as i've been doing, will it actually just not work after some time?
Edit: i checked my serial number and it said "Next OTA: ST - yy (urgent)" so im guessing it's killswitched

yes, just be sure to remove the ota app as instructed in that post to ensure it won't get delivered.

I assumed the Killswitch is something that deactivates my tablet if i dont do anything to fix it, hence why i asked if it wouldn't work after a while if i didn't do anything about it.
I'll try to follow what the thread says. Thanks for the replies!
the killswitch could kill your tablet the instant it connects to the internet.
make sure you remove it BEFORE you do and you won't have any issues from that point on with anything.

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder
which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...
Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.
Since there are individual threads going on regarding diff. issues that some Sensations suffer from, i thought i would start this thread to have all these issues in one place. And more importantly, we can suggest some tests that could be performed right out of the box to figure out whether or not the device should be sent for replacement.
I'll keep the first post updated based on your recommendations in this thread.
-The first thing i can think of is the issue with the device being loose in its back cover, which is something that should be kept in mind and also can be easily tested
-Then comes the problem of "separate" layers under the screen which is accompanied by a sound resembling "a sticker being peeled of a surface".
Touchscreen not working properly.
Except you can't test for that when you first get it because it takes a few days to appear.

FWIW, I had that issue but once I installed ADW launcher it hasn't happened again...it's been two days now. It's probably just a coincidence, but never the less figured I'd pass it on.
Is the second issue on the OP is relevant to this video?

I couldn't see any thing wrong on that video though.

Don't know. Don't have the phone yet. Just tought it was something relevant
The display stopped working 2-3 days ago. On booting i can see the google logo for 2-3 seconds before the screen goes dark. The phone works and i can hear dings of messages, but i cant access any of it. Once i kept shut it for a day i was able to see the screen for 10-15 seconds( i used this window to remove the screen lock so that i can use the usb transfer ). Now keeping the phone shut for long duration has no effect.
I can see the fastboot screen but not the recovery screen throught it.
I also bought a slimport so that i could see the screen on my pc. It works (not for the fastboot or recovery), however the touch doesn't work and the volume and power buttons response is too sluggish. I can connect the mouse but it is of no use as i can't see the screen on PC and use the mouse at the same time. I tried adb ( i have no experience of it ) but i cant touch the allow pernmissions key on the screen for the above reasons. Also what advantage would adb be in this case?.
Any advice ?
PS: i have cyanogenmod
I think ram is your only option. It definitely sounds like it's hardware and not software related.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Sorry, i don't follow. U mean a ram replacement is needed ?

Oh, you mean sending it to LG for servicing? I am a bit hesitant since i have cyanogenmod and also am in india and i doubt they will give a replacement. I think going back to stock rom and then sending it for repairs might help but i have no idea how to go about doing that in this situation.

Its all done via fastboot or lg flash tool. Probably the latter is best for you. Have a read of the guides in my signature
How can i do it using fastboot ?

Same issue I had pretty much, it died about 2 months ago. I was still able to copy all of my files, phone worked perfectly but the screen was black. Had it replaced it no time. Is that by any mean a 311k? I've seen another thread like that pop up lately.

I don't know yet, I'm just trying to figure out whether it's a particular batch that started failing or it's completely random, just curious. The two replacements I was sent were 403K. Build is perfect, but they both had some light bleed issues. Looks like every batch comes with some good and some bad, QC definitely hasn't been too great on this phone.

They're not really built in batches. Manufacturing was continuous. They just changed the serial number every time the month changes so I dont think this would actually mean anything
I know but I'd still use it as a milestone more than anything, I mean there have been some differences in the units (eg bigger speaker holes), this way it's easier to track them along the timeline, because they definitely do change something in the manufacturing process from time to time if they have to make up for issues or something. They also did it with the N4 if I remember well.

Speaker holes is a bad example because even the latest built devices it was still a lottery whether you got bigger or smaller holes. That's down to what you mentioned earlier, QC

I was able to unroot and flash the stock image. The problem still exists though, so it has to be a hardware issue. Fortunately the phone is still in warranty.
Thanks for all the support.
I'm beyond confused on what to do right now. The tablet is having problems left and right and Im just so confused, and no answers from Google are helping me.
Basically, I have three problems. First, the tablet cannot boot past the Nvidia logo. Second, the battery charges EXTREMELY SLOWLY. It took ten hours to get to 35%, and I fell asleep waiting for it to get one percent. And third, it discharges rapidly while on with the charger.
To note what I did, I installed TWRP, did numerous factory resets, and installed LineageOS. However, it just won't boot. Sp I am now here. Please help, I have no more options.
Why didn't you leave it on stock?

I can revert it to stock. Will that work?
It's best to not update the OS ever. As long as it works. Also, Google auto update should be deactivated. In general, updates are bad. They take storage and eat performance in 80% of the case.

Regardless, this means nothig for the battery. I've also never seen updates ruin a device. For example, updates actually saved my phone out of brick.If not for Cyanogen, this phone would've stayed bricked.
OEM updates usual ruin the performance. That's my experience.
I've tried numerous 7.1.2 custom Nougat roms and have recently gone back to stock 5.2 and have to say that the device works a lot better.

70% of statistics are made up.
After the 5.2 update, my K1 is running a bit smoother/faster than before. Particularly screen rotation, opening keyboard, opening apps & going back to home screen.
Battery life is as it was before the update.
One of the previous updates (5.1?) similarly improved performance a bit.

Experiences will vary. But that goes with just about any software change, be it an OEM update, custom ROM, kernel, etc. For every person that says the performance, battery, etc. is better; there will be another that says it's worse.
There are lots of variables in how you use the device, what apps, etc.

That is the placebo effect.
I can only speak for my own experience. Why fix something that isn't broken?
Oh yeah! Newer version number. And there must be something better about it then. Maybe more ads, or more data tracking.. who knows? Well, the devs know.^^

Security updates, for one thing.
As for ads and data tracking, you're making up problems that don't even exist.

Yes, the comments by this user are over-generalized, hyperbolic, and nonsensical. They add little value to this forum. Just sounds like a guy that had a bad experience once or twice, and now has an axe to grind with every update on every device. Ever.

What if you're using an Android tablet, nah... google doesn't track anything, does it?
I recently got myself a free Galaxy S6 in topaz blue 32GB version. It was missing a battery so I put one in and it surprisingly seemed to work, well until some stuff started showing on the screen.
Unfortunately, the phone seems it can't mount any partitions whatsoever. Upon booting I get various messages about not being to able open or mount partitions, which unfortunately means I can't access the recovery menu. Have tried installing many different original softwares from various carriers but nothing seems to work. One thing which I did get working is TWRP, I managed to install it via odin, but now all the different storages show up as 0MB, tried various tips from youtube but none seem to work. I can push files to it via ADB but none can install due to no partitions being able to be mounted. I can't even wipe any partitions via odin. I'm starting to suspect the device probably had the storage encrypted somehow.
I've given up all hopes now , can someone please help me? Is there even any help for my device?
First off you should never have even rooted this device. When u root a device it voids all warranty. Second have you tried buying a different battery.

To my knowledge, the device wasn't rooted as stated by the previous owner when I went to pick it up, and right now it is using a 1 year old battery so I don't think that's an issue.
