Out Of The Blue ZE551ML Internal Storage No Longer Accessible In Windows 7 - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I only connect my ZE551ML to my Windows 7 x64 when I've got to do firmware updates or transfer music, and I haven't done either in a while.
On my "MTP USB Device" driver I'm now getting: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The ASUS Android Composite ADB and PC Link Interface drivers are loaded and fine.
Things that I've tried:
- the Asus android drivers
- the Intel android drivers
- the universal ADB drivers.
- different USB cables
- different USB slots
The perplexing thing is that the image that allows you to install "ASUS ZenUI PC Suite" is available as a CD drive, "PC Link" works when mirroring my phone onto my computer and using ADB from a command prompt can see my device.
I don't know what I've installed between the last time it worked to now, and I'm at wit's end with what I can do.
Anyone have a suggestion at a possible next step?

Do you by any chance have Windows 7N (one without media player)?

Mine did the same when i connected the missus MTK device.
Unfortunately i need hers to stay for future updates and for using MTK flashtools too.
Great news is the( share link ) built in asus app in M - never used it before until this , click asus share link app on phone whilst connect to PC (for the first installation) and then you can transfer to an from pc to sd (either sd) in share link settings.
Then after - uses your network for transfer ,no cables , saves charge port i guess and its -- Fast !
USBdeview can be used if you want to see/want/remove if old/new drivers might be causing conflicts but am quite happy with the share link app now,ps i`m on windows 10 and too also not sure whether an update came whilst installing MTK destroyed it too

I'm still on Lollipop... Though it does have a sharelink app as well. I've tried setting it up, and on my phone it can't see my microSD card.
I'll give USBdeview a go and see if uninstalling all the Samsung/Asus/Intel drivers does anything.
It's the strangest thing... why would I be able to see it in ADB, be able to install the PC Link programs from the ROM and yet not be able to see internal storage?

Share link app - 3 dots -settings - storage location - click on /sdcard -- opens up to show internal sd and whatever your ext sd is called --select your choice -- click OK , you may have to allow rights to it in file manager :good:
Usbdeview should be ok
Why it happens ? conflicts with drivers i suspect

That's the issue, when I get to that point it only shows "Internal Storage." As an aside, my phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted.
*EDIT* - When I get to the part where I choose the directory, the file manager comes up with the "Recent" page. if I press the menu button, I get the option to hide SD card and file size, but in the list to the left it only lists "Internal Storage"

I just removed all the drivers that I could tell were related and am about to reboot.

phone settings - storage -- eject sd -- remount , set up sd for ext storage ? Never used this before so am at a loss , my ext sd was there when i clicked on /sdcard along side internal and after OK i followed on screen commands to allow it . Again , this is in M and never used it before on LP.
When you open file manager , your sd is there alongside internal or blanked out ?
Good luck hope you get it sorted , keep us posted BBFN

Still run into the same issue after remounting. It lets me select my internal, but not my SD. I guess it'll have to do for the time being - use it to move from computer to internal, then move it from internal to external.
And Removing selective ones in USBdeview still gave me the same issue:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so I went ahead and uninstalled all the ones that were for the specific USB slot, and am about to reset. Fingers crossed...

Ok try the info in ASUS file manager
open file manger , 3 dots , about , help and feedback , 2nd box down
ps , the time you spent trying to fix this
upgrade to M latest , better battery etc etc

I can't upgrade to M without being able to transfer files to my phone :laugh::crying:
And more importantly, I don't know if upgrading would change anything when it comes to the Windows 7 drivers. I keep trying to update driver to the Asus ones, but it keeps reverting to the generic "MTP USB Device" one. I've even tried to go into the windows inf files and remove that generic driver, but then windows won't accept the Asus ones at all.
When I go into the "feedback and help" section I get an error:
I've just about had it up to here with this phone. At the beginning it was giving me similar issues but I managed to sort it out... and now we're back to the issues that occurred back near the phone's launch. Full goddamn circle.

What build /date in settings ?
We gonna get you updated v soon .
First you need to unroot it.
Then fastboot flash stock recovery which corresponds with your build..
Then adb sideload a fresh copy of the build your on .You know how to perform these tasks above ???
If not , we do it soon
last but least don't smash it up
Have a read thru here to get general idea what needs doing

Haha, thank you. I'll try to stay calm.
I'm sitting at 194 right now and the security patch level was last updated July 1, 2016.
This phone is my daily driver and I need to go to bed, but I'll Titanium Backup the apps and make a nandroid backup tomorrow as soon as I get home from work so I can start flashing.
It's been awhile... should I flash back the stock recovery before I unroot? And it's been giving me issues with the micro SD card occasionally unmounting on it's own as well as Google Play services crashing at random times (I've tried all the tricks & tips up to uninstalling it to get rid of corrupted installation, but it still persists)... Should I do a factory reset after flashing the stock image just to try to clear everything up? I'd have to move everything to my microSD card first though...

First - transfer your stuff to pc off internal thru sharelink
unroot , flash back stock recovery .194 - reboot to recovery , update over adb , adb sideload .196 stock firmware , which should be renamed to MOFD_SDUPDATE and put in your fastboot/adb folder previously
adb cmd >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
set up not connecting to wifi - skip everything you can-- factory reset .
Set up correctly this time . Run for 3 days without any modifications . Make sure everything is running correctly :good:

Already running into issues with the first step. Share Link gets to about 100mb transferred, then my phone's screen blacks out and is non-responsive, though it shows touchscreen presses (I have that turned on in developer settings). The transfer hits around 200mb and then the transfer gets cancelled. It's also rebooted twice.
This is getting to ludicrous levels.
*EDIT* - I tried uninstalling all the USB controllers in Windows Device manager in case they were corrupted, but I'm still getting the same failure with the generic "MTP USB Device" being installed instead of the Asus one and still getting that yellow exclamation mark. When I try to update it to the Asus one, it fails and disappears when I unplug and replug the phone. This is maddening because it was working in October...
*EDIT 2* - I'm thinking of testing it on another windows installation... I've got some spare HD space that i could partition and install another copy of my Win 7 on to see if it's my Windows or phone that's corrupted. If it's not my phone, I'll be able to transfer everything out...

Hey some news , after reading what you are experiencing - I remembered i have another lappy with windows 10 on in bedroom wardrobe - Not been used for nearly a yr , fired it up with wifi off and both my drives are visible
So , mine IS either MTK driver conflict or a windows update or both
Whatever , i will update it today and test further.
This does`nt explain your sharelink probs tho, mine transferred 443mbs of CM14.1 in 3 mins just now with the same prob you have.
Use file manager instead to transfer to ext SD. Instead of sharelink
And go about sorting it out , with whats already mentioned and with the fresh copy of 7 - hopefully it is windows and not the phone you said you had probs with from new

So it failed to install the driver in the new Windows 7 install, but somehow booting into recovery allowed me to access and copy everything off of internal storage. But of course, booting back into normal mode breaks it again.
I'm just going through backing up my SMS and using Titanium backup for the apps and I'll be ready to take the next step.

Are you familiar with flashtools ?
It's just another method to flash a raw file in fastboot boot loader state .and boots you into system by itself after about 10 mins..but I'm a bit unsure you should use it with the probs re screen blanking earlier with share app.
Maybe we keep that as a last resort
good luck

My usual method of Flashing OTAs and ROMS was using this guide. I'm not familiar with flashtools, but I've used Odin before and I'm a quick study.
Now, I've got a few things that I would normally take back to stock/remove before unrooting and updating:
- Adaway hosts files
- busybox
- Viper4android sound.conf mod
- build.prop modification for permissive SELinux
- might be more but I can't remember.
I also recall flashing a new kernel at some point, but it was a while ago and I don't remember how to find out if what I have now is stock or not. I think it was this one.
Do I need to worry about taking all that back to stock before reflashing .194?
I usually edit the OTAs so I could flash them with TWRP, so I never had to flash stock recovery back in the past... what's the ADB name for the recovery partition?
*EDIT* - I'm also not familiar with all this new stuff like Magisk 8 and seamless root. Is this the go-to method for rooting 6.0? I like the sound of being able to root and unroot on the fly to bypass root detection by apps. I think I want to flash CleanSTOCK rather than just stock MM if it's less bloated.

Lets just get you up and running stock for a few days -- No mods ok ?
I think its best we flash raw at bootloader state , refresh here i will add files to download ready and info how to:good:
Flashtools - http://www.mediafire.com/file/sm76jyyz8t1axmz/AsusFlashToolInstaller_1.0.0.17.rar install and run as admin
Raw collection of and thanks go to Realyoti there - choose .196, bottom one last of the LP
https://yadi.sk/d/FijRoAVJtvRiG
Video
Ignore the first 2:17 mins - fast forward to 2:18 mins for flashtool flash and adding raw and general settings > choose wipe data to prevent any bugs from previous state
Note -- you just let it complete on its own , the video goes to show how to correct serial number , you dont need to -- once it starts flashing - let it finish

Haha, sorry for putting the cart before the donkey at the end there...
But I was asking if I need to remove any/all of these mods before flashing the raw file? And does the raw file also include the recovery partition? That's why I was asking where to flash "recovery.img" to go from TWRP to stock recovery...
Just 19% into transferring all my Titanium backups to Google Drive right now.

"r2: Superboot" not working

Tried to post this in the developers forum in the correct thread but I'm restricted - sorry mods but if you could move this post, that would be ace?
I've tried following the instructions for using the r2: Superboot process to root my phone, but having trouble with it.
I've installed the drivers that came in the zip - with the phone switched on as normal, Windows recognises it no problem, as does ADB. When I put the phone into the bootloader, Windows doesn't recognise it - showing in device manager as "Android 1.0" and making a funny beep as the USB is plugged in. Neither ADB or Fastboot recognise the phone as being attatched.
Just bought the phone today, sim free, in the UK, so possibly a different hardware or software version to those who've got it working?
When running normally, "About Phone" shows as Android version 4.0.1, Kernel 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected] #1 and Build number ITL41D.
In the bootloader it shows Fastboot Mode, Product Name - tuna, Varient - magura, HW Version 9, Bootloader Version - PRIMEKJ10, Signing - production, Lock State - locked.
Anyone got any ideas where to go from here?
Thanks
Make sure you turn on ADB Debugging from the settings menu and plug it into your pc.
Then run:
adb devices
See if its there. If so, continue
You need to force the drivers to install in fastboot mode first. Download the 'drivers' files from *THIS* forum and try them it worked for me (make sure you are in fastboot mode when you install them). You will also need to unlock the bootloader first which will wipe your phone including sdcard so make sure you have any files you need backed up first.
Mark.
Ah, fella, you're a superstar!
Done it now, can tweak my phone just how I want it now.
Thanks so much for your help

I have been assuming that 'wipe your phone' means wipe it of anything the user has put on it, but that the OS remains; is that correct?
Yeh, it resets it to the same state as when you first get the phone, wiping any personal data and any changes you've made to the system
Have to say I'm impressed though, it remembered by Wifi password and downloaded all my apps again without me doing anything! I'm liking ICS so far!

Your passwords and all your list of apps from the market are stored under your google account so when you sign back in on a new phone (or wiped one) and synch with your phone all your market apps under that account are re-downloaded and certain information is restored.
Mark.
I don't remember that happening on my old Desire.. that just something I've missed or new to ICS?
I've noticed ICS brings up my bookmarks from Chrome on my PC, that's deffinately a new trick!

Could be you didn't enable personal data backup, or Sense doesn't do that (my guess)
And the Chrome bookmark sync is one of the things I'm definitely looking forward to with ICS I know I can do it with some apps right now but having features be native is always nice

cant find any solution with 'media scanning"

hi2all
before post this thread i cheked all xda but anyone method did not help me
my problem is "scanning media files"
one day when i serfing inet my E975 has been rebooted
after load i got a first time boot start message
all data lost and phone ask me to set all setting from beginning
now i see alltime 'scanning media files'
I have tried the following: steps:
made hard resets - no effect
flashed using KDZ updater (E97510C_00, E97510a_00 E97510f_00) - no effect
used LGtool (selected recovery..inserted my IMEI and load) - no effect
and followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2010624
but problem haven't solved
always media scanning
cant try any ways like fleshing kernel, becose need fastboot mode
cant unlock fastboot, cos cant make root... anyone way to install root not work, cos no access to phone storage
someone told me i can try to do root with adb shell... but cant find how i can use this in my sutuation
I would be very thanksfull any help
i rly dont know what should i do next....
In the past I have a problem with media scanner message, always running in the background, although I had no problems about rebooting or soft-resets, it was only a message running in the background always. The way I solve it was to go into "almacenador de medios" (dont know in english, maybe something like "media store") in app manager, and then force stop, clean data and clean cache, reboot and after a first past again, all went ok. I suppose you continue with the message after reseting maybe because cache or dalvik cache is not clean.
Hope that help.

have you tried the lg pc suite?go to lg's site and download it and the connect your phone to pc in "pc suite" mode.then from there you can do an update or press the "emergency firmware recovery" under device menu.This will propably recover your phone.

anyone knows how i can made root without access rights to sd card?
ways like "frameroot.apk" and via bat file "currentroot.bat" - not worked (all those methods need access to sd card)
or maybe there are any commands on ADB to reset or fix sd card?

Zenfone 2 Z00AD (Japan) doesnt connect to PC

I'm on a Japanese new phone which was never rooted (but sent to repair twice for bad front speaker/earpiece and motherboard)
It currently on Android version 5.0
Japanese version 2.15.40.13
The Phone doesnt connect to the PC, I've tried normal connection with windows explorer, tried the Asus application.
The phone either appears as empty or appears and then suddenly disappears, on and off. I can't even view the contents let alone copy/move/delete. (from the computer that is)
Is there another option to move files to the computer beside dropbox? which takes up my bandwidth and is kinda slow.
I've seen on ASUS site that there are 3 official 2.20.xxx versions yet my phone doesnt recognize anything when I press the CHECK FOR UPDATE.
Is there a way to update it without rooting ? and without doing a factory reset ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've tried this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtQeVbKT6Zc
But I dont get the Update pop-up.
Also, Do I need to put the next available version, and update in order or just the newest/latest one ?
EDIT 2:
After a while I noticed that it didnt even copy the file to the phone.
When I connect the phone to my PC (windows 10) via USB 2.0 and/or 3.0 a folder called z00ad shows for a few sec. then disappeared.
I tried to several cables and ports.
sometimes it shows as an empty folder and sometimes I can see the folders inside but then it disappears and I get an error message.
I've got developer rights or access by tapping the kernel version.
I've enable the install by third parties option.
I've disabled the lock
disabled the screen off timer
Is it a Windows 10 thingy ? (I got the new Intel Driver for android)
EDIT 3:
Uploaded the file to Dropbox and downloaded on my phone, saved with ES File explorer to main directory, reset the phone, and now its updating. (UL-Z00A-JP-2.20.40.174-user)
When its done I will update for the next update (UL-Z00A-JP-2.20.40.183-user), and then the latest one (UL-Z00A-JP-2.20.40.185-user).
Hope Android 6 will arrive soon and that all of the problems are software related and not hardware...
Only trouble with this phone
EDIT 4:
Stuck on the INSTALLINg sYSTEM UPDATE... screen.
Its been like that for over 10 min. now, the blue progress line is stuck somewhere between the G and S (installinG System)
How long should I wait for it to finish? I saved the update file to the built-in memory, not the SD so speed shouldn't be an issue right ?
If its stuck what should I do ? Turn the phone off? Reset ? will I lose all of my files/photos?!
For this guy the problem solved itself after almost an hour...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/stuck-installing-update-t3151529
I will try to give it 2 and see how it goes
EDIT 5:
After almost 2 hours my phone was updated.
Yet still connection problems to the PC.
I'm trying the next Update, maybe it will fix this issue.
I've read online and I can't seem to find a solution.
I've tried different cables and connected to different USB slots but still, either I get no detection, or a detection with empty drive, or detection with external and internal memory but then it quickly disappears. The phone itself still keeps charging so it must be connected properly.
Has anyone else had this problem ? (I also had it while I was on Win 8.1, now win 10)
EDIT 6:
After doing the 3 available updates, manually... for around 6 hours ... I still cant connect the phone to the computer

But I already have 24GB out of 32GB , but still have storage issues when using the phone. APps and services randomly crash unable to fully use phone.
I guess I do not need this then, must be some other issue?

This issue is only for those who are missing storage.
If you have another storage problem, look for another solution.
Storage Problem LeEco Le Pro 3 X720 - 4 GB/32 GB
I followed instructions but it didn't work.
What can I do in order to increase storage to 24 GB?
qfil mode error
Is it for restoring the original storge capacity for Le Pro 3? The reason why I'm asking this is becuase I am currently stuck on qufil rom because it keeps making error everytime I tried to go to the launcher. Will it work on my circumstance?

How to guide (9.0 Android) LVM Chinese Unification Storage Method

In this guide, I will show how to how to change from LVM to Chinese unification storage method. Windows OS Only.
This guide is specifically for Oppo Find 7(A/S).
The idea of changing to chinese unification storage method is to have access to 8.1 Android operating system and future Android OS builds.
Please follow these following steps in order be able to run 8.1 Android on your OPPO Find 7.
1) Back up only your internal storage because after you flash the following tools, the internal storage will be wiped completely.
2) Download this file (for OPPO Find 7s) and this file (for OPPO Find 7a) then run the following steps:
Extract the files, and locate the QcomMtk_Driver_Setup.exe (*install this driver*) and reboot your computer system.
After rebooting, take off the battery off the Oppo find 7 and press the volume up button and connect to the PC using a micro USB cable. Go to the device manager, open the ports tab and there should be something like qualcomm etc. If there is no warning sign then you are fine and you should proceed along the steps. If there is a warning sign, just right click on the driver and update by letting windows finding the appropriate drivers.

}
Then go back to the folder where you extract the zip file and locate (X9077_Android5.0_32G_20150520.exe) or X9007 respectively and run as administrator. rights only.
Agree with the licence. As shown in the image.
Now, again, make sure your battery is removed, hold volume up button and connect to the pc.
Click the first top left button as indicated in the image below.
Now, the software should do the rest so please be patient and wait until the green line has finished and the timeclock down on the bottom right as come to a halt.
After the green line has finished, please remove your device and plug back your battery. Let the device fully boot up before moving on the following steps.
After you get to the setup screen. Press and hold the power off button and shutdown fully before going back to the fast boot mode by pressing volume up and power button at the same time, the battery needs to be installed this time.
-
Now, flash the twrp modded image using fast boot flash and download the two files fastboot and twrp-modded img :
1) Have your phone in bootloader mode. (Turn off your phone, press volume up button and power button together and connect usb).
2) Navigate to the folder and click on the top left of the folder and copy that. e.g C:\Users\samgi\Desktop\platform-tools
3) Open cmd and type in: cd C:\Users\samgi\Desktop\platform-tools
4) In cmd type in: fastboot flash recovery image-modded.img
4) Remove USB and press power button and volume down button simultaneously.
-After you have flashed the recovery, boot into recovery and store the ROM, GAPPS and cm13 unified patch in the external sd card using your USB.
Download your favourite 9.0 ROM:
crDroid for example: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=262369
Install GAPPS (only pico):
http://opengapps.org/
After you have downloaded all the files rom gapps cm13 patch etc. Make sure to flash each of the zip files one by one:
1) Flash ROM
2)Flash Pico Gapps
3)Flash CM13 Patch here
So basically, just head over to https://download.lineageos.org/find7 and download the latest Lineage OS 16 ROM. Then download the MindTheGapps (since pico OpenGapps can't work) from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=170282 make sure to get 9.0.0arm.
Reboot to recovery, wipe the dalvik, system and cache. Then proceed with installing the the LOS 16 ROM. After that, you can flash the CM 13 patch and the gapps (MindTheGapps). It's ok to do gapps first before the CM 13 patch. I noticed that it makes no difference. Works the same every time.
Well, that's about it, reboot and enjoy. OTA should work after this. I think.
Good luck.
Then, simply clear cache and boot to your 9.0 OS. P.S don't forget to restore your data that you deleted in step one.
Optional: If you want to go back to Color OS or you have hard-bricked your OPPO Find 7(A/S) this tool will help you get back to stock firmware.
STOCK FIRMWARE (LVM)
Here are the instructions to unbrick your phone:
This is going to be a step by step guide on how to unbrick your OPPO FIND 7 (A/S)
Before attempting this guide, Windows is needed to be in "Test Mode".
To do this:
1) Open CMD with admin rights, and type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" without the colons.
2) Restart your computer.
End result:
This will check if this guide is applicable.
Note: Make sure your device has at least 70% battery. Charge it for an hour or so if you are not sure about the amount of battery left.
Note 2: I'll assume you are an admin of the computer you are using.
1) Disconnect your device from your charger/computer, etc.
2) Take out the battery and wait for 5 seconds.
3) Put the battery back in, hold the Power+Volume Up buttons and plug it into the computer.
4) Release your hands, and go to Device Manager. (How to go to device manager below)
1. Click the start menu
2. Right click Computer (Right hand side)
3. Click Properties
4. On the left hand side, click on Device Manager
5) Under Ports, you'll see either QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm *blah blah blah* 9006/9008
If you don't see any of the three, you're doing it wrong (Probably).
If you're not seeing it, try connecting your device without the battery.
Next, we uninstall the drivers. Simple enough.
WARNING: This part is only for people seeing Qualcomm 9006/9008 in Device Manager.
1) Uninstall the driver. (Right click your device, then click Uninstall. If prompted, delete driver software too)
2) Unplug your device.
3) Take out the battery and wait for 5 seconds.
4) Put the battery back in, hold the Power+Volume Up buttons and plug it into the computer.
5) Release your hands, and go to Device Manager.
You should see QHSUSB_BULK, if not, you might be doing it wrong.
Now we install the proper drivers.
NOTE: You should be seeing QHSUSB_BULK in your Device Manager, if not you're doing it wrong.
1) Download the Find 5 Drivers and unzip the file anywhere.
2) Right click on your device showing QHSUSB_BULK and click on Update Driver Software.
3) Click on "Browse my computer for driver software", and select the folder in which you extracted the drivers to.
4) It will install automagically. If prompted, click on Install the driver anyway.
After installing, your device should say Qualcomm *blah blah blah* 9006/9008.
The moment all of you have been waiting for. Unbrick!
NOTE: Your device should be connected at all times.
1) Download the tool that will save you below.
2) Extract the contents from the zip file.
3) Open the .exe file with admin rights.
4) There should be a line that is visibly different from others.
5) If there is, click start and wait till that line turns green. (It takes a few minutes. Generally nothing should go wrong at this stage.) If there isn't, you're doing it wrong.
6) After the line turns green, unplug your device and hold the power button until you see the Oppo logo.
7) If all goes well, you should be booted to ColourOS v1.2.5i.
If everything went through smoothly, you should be unbricked and ready to brick your device again.

Sorry for the late reply,
Don't worry, I will upload the tool also that I managed to download when oppo forums was running and luckily saved that on my hard drive :') so if you do brick your phone, the software will put you back to default X9076 color OS software mode so you're safe.
1. This guide is for Oppo Find 7s. The 8.1 android OS does not recognise X9076 (LVM) and shows "encryption unsuccessful" whenever you boot into the OS. However, when your phone shows X9077 (Chinese unified method) the 8.1 recognises and lets you boot successfully. I'm not quite sure why OPPO had to make this sooooo confusing. Lol.
2. I am running the latest Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
3. I'm not sure what you're asking ? It does not matter 32-bit or 64 bit
4. I'm literally running CrDroid and its amazing, the latest update just got out online check it out.
Let me know if you need further help.

The first problem I'm not sure lol ?
The second problem is maybe most likely of background apps turn off any background apps that might be running i.e apps that run constantly Facebook Instagram others. One recommendation to turn off Wifi and mobile data so there is no data incoming/outgoing when you go bed.

That,s weird battery usage. When I leave a 100% battery at night, next morning ( about 8 hours) I have about 90+% left, and I leave WiFi and mobile data on all night. Though I use Servicely and Project Skynet Raising.

Best advice would be to reflash the ROM with pico gapps or at last change to another 8.1 ROM i.e lineage rom or omni 8.0
