I think so! Google maps doesn't work properly by months, no fix update, nothing! On my Htc u12+ Cid Europe Maps is impossible to update to the last version, the only version is working is 10.18.2.
We'll never see Android 10!

I did a lot of testing with this and came to the conclusion that Google Maps 10.x only works well when you are running Pie.
I downgraded to Oreo and Google Maps was lagging and nonresponsive. I started installing each version previous and none of the 10.x versions worked. However, all of the 9.x versions works flawlessly.
I'm running Oreo, stock rooted, with Google Maps 9.88.2 and have no issues.
You can download older versions from here: https://google-maps.en.uptodown.com/android/versions
Hope this helps as this was very frustrating

Default (Pie) version of Maps (10.18.2) works fine for me

Something new with freezing new Google Maps??

I have this. I uninstalled updates and then uninstalled the app. Reinstalled, updated but not luck. As soon as phone temp hits 41/42 deg C Maps starts freezing again. Really strange.
It's prob not related, but that same day and has continued till now, my phone gets very hot. Did all the usual things (reboot, check apps, running services, used BOOST+ to clear caches etc.)...no change. Apps are fine and running as normal. I don't use any ram or batt apps. Back of the phone, bottom is very hot. Resting temp use to be 26-28 Deg C. Now it is 35 Deg C. Max usage temp was 35 Deg C, now after just 10-15m of general use it shoots up to 42 Deg C! WTF?
I am a light user: I don't game or play videos.
Been with HTC for as long as I can remember. Hopefully, I can get this sorted. Only had it for a few months
I contacted HTC and they said I will have to pay for a repair because bootloader is unlocked. Even if I re-lock, they will still charge. It has to go to Poland. If I can't afford the repair, they ask for £27 to return device to me.
They told me to boot into 'safe made' and see if that's causing temp to rise. No change. I am running Android Pie with leedroid Rom (loaded via Magisk) and no recovery. UI tweaks 'add on' from LEEDROID had 2 options in the advanced menu:
'Wipe Cache'
'Wipe Dalvik Cache'
Tried that but temp is still in 40s and Batt is draining fast ;(, compared to last few months when resting temp was 25-28 Deg C

Just did full wipe, google maps after update still laggy

I am in 2.55.401.1 with the last version of Google maps and no lag. Actualy i never had a problem with Google Maps with the phone.
Make sure you have the last version and maybe try to install it manually some version.

Update: Woke up and phone was at 26 Deg C. Using the phone very little at the moment, which is a good thing because I can do more important things! Batt is okay on standby: in 15 hours gone from 95% to 70%. This includes overnight with no use and just checking few emails in the morning and typing this post. > Gone to 34 Deg C now.
I will continue to monitor it. Worst case scenario: I have to use the phone a lot less, which is not a bad thing.
I volunteer for a charity and in an hour I will be delivering meals to the elderly. So, a lot of maps, GPS, network + screen brightness on high. This will be a good test.

Just got back from the meal deliveries. Some good news: Much better than the other day. No glitches and although I was turning the screen off a bit, the max temp was 42 Deg C.
Behaving itself a bit more, but still warmer than usual and battery drain is extra 10-15% worse off. Fingers crossed it gets better.
Tonight I will let batt run down to zero and then charge to 100 *if* that will help/reset?

V10K OTA UK Update available NOW!!!

Ok, apologies if this is old news, but didn't see. But I've just updated my O3D OTA in South London, UK. Not that it would make a difference but I'm T-Mobile in case anyone intereted.
Im having random restarts since update. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes some people complain about restarts like I. I install bootlog uptime and i discover that phone restart every few days, mostly when i'm not watching
I had that problem in the beginning but after a factory reset it stopped doing that.

Mobile Phone Support: We are expecting the Gingerbread version of Android to be available no later than November. The faults that you have experienced isn't a known issue unfortunately, I can only suggest that you continue to check the support tool for upcoming updates.
from lg phone support
I've not noticed any restarts as yet, though only been few hours. Not sure if it makes any difference but the only people I've seen reporting this prob are those who updated manually.
Would be nice if LG listed a change log, obviously there is the 3D converter, which is cool but I'm not sure it's as good as the native stuff as people suggest, though need to play with more. I was actually getting happy with my battery on V10D, so will see how this compares over a few days,. Other than Flash Player settings not sure if anything else has been added/changed....?

Yes i am having the same problem,i have reinstalled sw twice and its still doing it.
Sent a message to LG about it and they dont want to know about it and blame the problem on the carriers..
I have to say my initial impression of the battery life is negative.
I went to bed with the phone almost fully charged, and as I do every night I disabled internet, wifi, GPS and refreshing and and waking up this morning my battery is 67%, that's really poor considering I was getting about %5 drop before.
Guess I will see what it does during the day, though I'm now worrying it won't last till the work day!

This firmware has problems with Wifi. On an 'n' network, the phone keeps rebooting. On a 'g' network I get some reboots. Turning Wifi off solves the problem, but sometimes it's impossible to turn it back on unless you reboot...
It's a shame because the battery life with this firmware is finally 'normal' for a smartphone: 24 hours vs 7 hours before that.
My wifi is on all the time but is set to switch off when the screen is locked.
I'm not having problem at all with the phone and to be honest it's much better than before.
It seems to be running more smoothly and I can see that the battery management has improved a lot!
I'd say that I'm having the same number of hours that I had with my iPhone 4 doing the same stuff that I usually do before a recharge. So, at least for me the update has been a good thing.
Hopefully will get GB sooner than later.
I also must add that right after flashing 10k the battery was pretty bad and with the rebot problem.
After a factory reset the reboot problem was solved and the battery became super.
cheers for the tip.
What sort of data gets lost/reset on a factory default?
I presume everything gets wiped with a factory reset. So my question is if its possible to backup application settings WITHOUT rooting my phone?
Everyone seems to recommend Titanium to backup settings but I do not want to run the risk of problems with the Gingerbread update by rooting my phone, but I also do not want to lose my game progress either.
Its a shame there is no option to sync all application settings to Google servers, considering one of the huge advantages to me is that the contacts and calendar do exactly that.
I've downloaded 4 times now over wifi and every time I get an invalid software package notification and it will not proceed.
I'm on stock rom (rooted) with no Rom manager gubbins.
Strange, anyone else have this please?
I'm looking but my phone says i'm upto date on V10D??

Open LG's Mobile Support and go to "Customer support > Support Model" check for Orange and you will see the version that i available for you.
The last time I saw, Orange was stuck with v10D and T-Mobile with F.
UK and Carphone are on K version.

Yeah you can do it using the KDZ file or rooting and flashing with clockwork recovery.
Sorry for being a Noob I've looked but can't find a guide thats for a real noob. Only been running Android for 6 days? but the 3D convert was the main selling point so if someone could help or link I would say a big thanks.

Atrix 2 - Official ICS - running very very slow these days - Help!

Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.
It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.
You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.
I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:
Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.
Start here and read and read again:

If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.

Battery Drain

Using my new Mi4c for a few days and I am getting terrible battery drain.
Android and Android System are accounting for 19% and 18% in my list as well as the Gallery app showing 10%.
With not much use my phone goes down from 100% to 53% in only 6 hours. And when I say not much use I mean sitting on my work desk with the screen off from 9 to 2pm with my picking it up maybe three times for a few seconds each to send or read a text.
Just came from a Sony Z3 Compact which would still be in the 80% range with the same use.
Any ideas?

I had similar problems as you, but not as severe. I ended up fixing it by flashing the weekly International ROM from Xiaomi . eu, which is a ROM that cuts out all the Chinese apps and all the bloat. Now I'm back down to 0.5% battery/hour idle drain. Another way would be to factory reset and try install your apps one at a time while monitoring your usage. I highly recommend BetterBatteryStats to help track exactly what processes were active in your phone, and any excessive wakelocks that might be eating into your battery. Lemme know how it goes, and I'll try help out if I have the time.
You can root your phone and freeze all the apps that useless to you. This is what I did and battery usage works great.

I am downloading the Official Stable ROM fro Mi as I type this and have also already downloaded the International Unofficial ROM from Xiaomi .eu.
I am going to try the Official one first then re-load in all my G Apps. I am a bit worried about installing the International ROM as I would need to install TWRP and root the phone etc..
I worry I may brick it in the process. I have given my previous phone away and do not have a backup.
If you know of anywhere with good step by step instructions on installing the International ROM could you point me to them?
Thanks again.

You can install the developer rom from en.miui.com , it already has root. It's in the security app, under permissions. And with an app like flashify from play store you can install twrp recovery. A twrp image is available on en.miui.com.

Same problem here...
The people who get 6h sot stay on wifi mostly, barely use 3g or lte, some only on 2g. And they probably dont use many apps, have syncs disabled, no mi account, no localisation, undeclocked, undervolted, etc.

No, only no localisation, no chinese apps, no mi account.
Maybe the people with battery drain should look what causes it, e.g. double tap to wake or such things. Through the last years, there also where problems with "scanning always available" (Network Location Provider Wakelock) in WiFi settings, Emergency Broadcasts, Google Sync and Location Services which caused battery drain. Those things would be the first i would check.

Already checked all settings. Its just because of the different use, thats why people get such SoT. Also if using wifi or not and the cell coverage.
and whether they are using Dual Sim or not

I am testing smiui right now. But I hate the notification bug, notifications never arrive in real time, even if I have apps locked in memory, manage apps disabled(or enabled and set apps to custom and work in background) and apps set in autostart. Its annoying,

I am testing smiui right now. But I hate the notification bug, notifications never arrive in real time, even if I have apps locked in memory, manage apps disabled(or enabled and set apps to custom and work in background) and apps set in autostart. Its annoying,

Yeah CM and Mokee are better for battery life. MIUI to date is not very well optimized altough I think it's very convenient that's why I keep using it.

Do NOT update latest software! 32.2.A.0.224 Marshmallow 6.0.1

I did the latest software update OTA for my Xperia z5 E6653 Build 32.2.A.0.224 and it has a bug that will affect your daily lives.
- Contacts App force closes when selecting a contact and repoen.
- When dialing out a number, after 2 numbers the APP closes out.
Contacted Sony Mobile a number of times. There is no fix at the moment. I requested for them to re-release the previous software update because the bugs I am having now are not present. They will not release previous software update.
Used Sony PC Companion's Repair feature 3x, still with the same issue.
My phone is no longer a working phone. It is an android tablet that cannot make calls. How very disappointing.
Not seeing those issues??
Updated, rooted, installed xposed.. no problem at all.. try to do a factory reset.
Stock, updated, no issues.
no issues here, a factory reset should fix it
Do a clean install bro..

Thanks for the quick replies and insight. I forgot to mention I use Sony PC Companion's Repair feature 3 times and still go the same issues. I am in USA, maybe it is an American thing?

Well I don't think so but I suggest u to flash your update manually using flashtool ..

Did factory reset, no go. Guess I will have to do what shehabskjull recommends. Flash older firmware. That would solve issue since didn't have an issue in the past.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but I did a clean install 32.2.A.0.224 (UK generic) and I'm getting awful battery life. I always do a clean install. The phone is very fast now but the battery drainage rate is concerning me...

That's weird as after the update my battery improved significantly. I can easily get 5h SOT now.

Don't have any problems with a dialer or phonebook. I'm on international UK software so could be US specific however I think you might be the only person affected otherwise we would see other posts from US users here.

Mine has improved too... wouldn't say 5h SOT but def around 20% better than it was!!
battery life is better now, and the phone runs smooth and flawless. no fc with contacts or what so ever.

My friend is experiencing the exact same issues. He tried doing a factory reset and it still happens. He has the dual SIM E6683 model though. Did you end up trying to use flashtool to reinstall 6.0.1?
Edit: He also has never tried rooting and only uses the stock firmware
I had the same issue too with stock firmware (.224 customized MY) flash via flashtool. Flashed custom rom problem solved.

I did a factory reset and I get about 4 hours SOT. I've disabled loads of apps as well (probably most notably, Google). I have quite a lot of pictures on my SD card, how do you manage to get 5 hours SOT? I usually use max brightness (no auto brightness) during the day and lowest brightness at night.

The battery of My OnePlus 6 is draining drastically like a years old phone

I am facing issues with OnePlus 6 mobile. Last night I have charged the phone to 100% and to my shock when I woke up in the morning the battery left is just 6%. This is definitely not normal. Yesterday I got a feeling that battery is draining fast and so I have removed all the cache, tried deep clear/clean.
Note: I haven't updated my phone from oxygen5.1.0
I want my issue to be resolved as soon as possible.

Do a full wipe and update your phone. You have some rogue app draining battery.
Why don't you update? Oh man you make life complicated

Update to 5.1.9
I love how they demand "I want my issue to be resolved as soon as possible." like we do not have other jobs or things to do but to serve him!
Anyway update to 5.1.9 do a full factory reset and see how it goes.
Got 3 a 5 hours sot with always on display. Without it I get around 5 a 6 hours. Battery is a bit to small in my experience.

Are you a member or admin of this ??
If you are an admin, I think you have started this with the intension of helping people with possible solutions. So why do you take it as a demand and why don't you think it as asking for help in a less polite way
If you are just a member, why did you login into this site if you have some other work or job. No one asked you to solve their problems as a priority. It's your decision to help people or not. By the way I didn't write that line with intension of demand. Why would I demand something from a total stranger without any valid reason. Don't simply misunderstand people.

The above is demanding that your problem be resolved as soon as possible, maybe next time leave lines like that out you’ll get answers quick enough regardless.
How I solve my battery drain issues, inside battery stats menu the process (system Android) was consuming most of the battery juice, I upgrade from oxygen os 5.1.8 to 5.1.9 using the app " oxygen updater " but then oneplus publish the update on the website and I notice the file names aren't the same so
My steps
1 download the oxygen os 5.1.9 full zip from oneplus website
2 without wiping dirty flash the zip
3 wipe dalvic cache
4 flash twrp zip to keep twrp recovery
5 boot system
6 reboot to twrp
7 flash magisk 16.4 (to avoid "vendor miss match message" )
8 boot system
9 using magisk app upgrade magisk to 16.7 using direct install
So far "system Android" is using just 2% before was at the top even over screen consumption.
