Done that. Didn't work
Unfortunately, that's all I can think of concerning that... I hope you're able to fix it some other way or you should just try another controller if available.


That reminds me, don't you think the driver updating software (i.e scptool kit ) you're using might be responsible for the failed installation? Why not try and see whether you can get the driver for that controller online an install it manually?

Also i tried connecting my PS3 controller to my PC, didn't work.

Even after running Driver installer on ScpToolkit it says;
"A fatal error occurred. Consult the logs for details"


How can i fix that?

Ideally, your computer is expected to automatically install the necessary drivers (unless yours isn't plug and play). Since the problem you're facing is solely driver based, you can get this program called 'USB DEVIEW'. It shows you all drivers including hidden ones on your laptop. Search for similar drivers of the controller that are present and uninstall all of them. Restart the PC and try installing your driver again. Make sure you check properly as the problem you're having is most likely driver conflicts.

My laptop turns off when the battery gets to about 30%. I tried removing the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds and it turned on but went off before it finished booting. Do I need a new battery or is it something else?
Replace the battery first.

Am tire of wasting data updating, help pls incase it hardware,
Your problem is with your Graphic card. Seems to me that the Nvidia is the default graphic driver and it is faulty. So everytime you update the Intel HD driver, it works until the next restart. When you restart, the default option is activated.

Your solution is to permanently disable the Nvidia graphic because it is malfunctioning. Seek help online on how to permanently disable the dedicated card.

Tried that, just keeps on looping when I try these key combos, and yes I doubt it's an issue of RAM really... Maybe heating.

I'll try getting a new version of qfil.
Okay. I hope you're able to finally get it detected. Be sure of your drivers too. It's very important that they are installed.

He said "basic tasks" and tasks switching.

I doubt there's anything wrong with his motherboard. His phone seems to boot fine and restart which shows his software is functioning as it should, but it's processor is not powerful enough to clock through tasks. Even with a large enough RAM, SoCs may encounter bottlenecks whilst trying to process data. This is one of the major causes of freezing.

You also said his emmc? If I may ask, where is that component located?

As for his software, since his phone hasn't entered a bootloop or even a softbrick. It's working fine. If constant resets and factory resets doesn't solve the problem, then his hardware is dated and will struggle with modern app versions (note: I didn't say it won't, of course it'll work and it's still working). It is struggling currently.

As for his software, let him try updating them all and see if there's an improvement. But it won't halt the slide. The phone is dying.

My close friend uses the phone and it's frustrating her.

The short term panacea is to free RAM after every use and clear cache regularly.
You're right about some SoC struggling with tasks because they're underpowered/underclocked for the said task but that is not the case with this guy's phone. He said it 'HANGS TO THE POINT THAT HE HAD TO RESTART'. This can't be the SOC. Freeing RAM isn't the solution either as it is not a problem of insufficient ram. That SoC is capable of basic tasks such as downloading, browsing and switching between daily essential apps. Basic tasks isn't a problem with this SoC. Your friend definitely is facing similar issue or an entirely different problem that still has nothing to do with the SOC as far as 'basic' task is concerned.

The eMMC/nand is a separate chip (flash storage) on an android motherboard that houses the phone's data partition, system partition and cache as well as the bootloader. Popular brands include samsung and Kingston.

A corrupt NAND partition cause hanging issues and it is not only when a phone stops booting or bootlooping that it is nand problem.

I've handled the same phone owned by a friend and he is still using it now with no issue. The only thing he complained about was a boxing game God knows where he got it, that was not playing smoothly. The jagging movement was damn funny grin

So, tell your friend to also seek help too concerning the phone.

@ultraprime

You should also put the phone in download mode before it can be detected. You can achieve this by pressing and holding down the vol+/- button before plugging in the usb cable. Check online for the right button combination for that infinix model

I downloaded the firmware and all but the software don't seem to detect the phone on PC, bootloader seems locked too.

Carlcare would've been my best option but it's unavailable now.
As long as you're flashing the stock rom, you don't need to unlock the bootloader.

Have you installed the necessary Qualcom drivers? Download the latest version of QFIL and try again. You might be having driver issues

That's a bummer I thought the RAM would at least make up for that

Even at times just a simple download and switching between apps would trigger it... Only restarts recover the phone. It's that bad
Concerning your fingerprint, that's a software ish. You can fix that by doing a thorough backup and reset or reload the firmware. A situation where the fingerprint setting option mysteriously disappears isn't new and not a good thing.

As for the slugglish/ hanging problem, the description reveals that your problem is not the SoC. The RAM and SoC combination should be sufficient for normal daily use.

The problem you're facing can occur after a buggy update, corrupt data partition or even a motherboard failure (phone starts freezing when there is an issue with your emmc/nand chip]

Suggested solution:

Do full backup and format or flash the phone

Take a look at your SDcard if any is present.

Take it to carlcare if problem persist.

That phone is still very much functional in 2020 despite having a 2015 chipset. Yours have a problem that's all.

Fingerprint scanner may be a software ish quite alright but phone freezing up is definitely the SoC. The Hot S3X uses the Snapdragon 430 chipset made in 2015. Do you know how many upgrades the android OS, the XoS and the apps have undergone? The phone itself is a 2018 phone with a 2015 processor.

I'd say you should start saving for a new device as your S3X is outdated. It cannot keep up with modern day use.
Hian! Someone complained of freezing and the next thing you hastily concluded is ' definitely the SoC'.

You didn't even ask whether it was frequent for even the most basic task or only freezes when he plays certain games.

As far as I can tell, SD 430 isn't so bad that it can't effortlessly power even android 10 OS plus XOS for daily smooth use.

The guy even went ahead to explain that basic switching of tasks causes the phone to freeze to the point he had to restart. Is that a sign of a weak SoC?

Most times, being old does not mean being obsolete. SD430 is 2015 and I bet it with you that it has no problem powering a not so buggy XOS and android 10. Playing heavy games is different and using for basic daily use is another thing.

The guy simply has a problem with one of the following:
Motherboard, software ish or a corrupt data partition
HealthRe: Tunde Salako: Doctors Should Examine Patients Before Suggesting COVID-19 Tests by photon3106: 8:16pm On Apr 06, 2020
Joshuazedd:
did you read where "respiratory symptoms" was written? you don't really understand if you're not into something. if one presents with respiratory symptoms, how do you know he/she doesn't have corona to start with? you expose yourself with ppe and infect other staffs and patients who infect family and friends? You rule out the most critical by sending for tests and not unnecessary exposures. If ppe are available different case altogether
The only valid argument here is the unavailability of PPEs but saying every respiratory symptom is a supposed manifestation of the said virus is invalid. And yes, I do not speak of things I don't understand. Maybe you should do a little more research reading on respiratory tract symptoms then you'd discover that there are several symptoms associated with respiratory tract problems. The respiratory tract symptom induced by the presence of the virus isn't the same manifestation with one induced by cold or PT-cough. So someone dying due to exposure to cold should be left unattended to until he provides Covid 19 test because he has respiratory tract problem?

Well,
1.Covid is a retrospective diagnosis unless in advanced stages when its symptoms appear.
2.It's not a luminous virus and patients with it don't come with halos so the case of 'unrelated to covid' is unfathomable even for specialists in herbal medicine .The common sense thing for any healthcare professional to do is treat everyone as a potential carrier.
So oga should tell the people who received 10billion funds to make PPEs available.
We all understand 1. as being true but what is not acceptable/ideal is that doctors should treat EVERY patient as a carrier. Suppose evryone is a carrier, then nobody will receive treatment, not even medical examination because doctors and nurses can't risk their lives without PPEs (at least some people believe that occupational risks should be avoided by abandoning the occupation. I agree too]

P.S: May I remind you that victims of accidents requiring medical help won't be attended to as well because they are assumed to be carriers. A woman in labour wont't be attended to because she is too. How many more examples can be cited before people see the danger of not attending to ANY patient until they provide a COVID-19 test result?

Well yes but is possible.

Factors that could cause a phone to charge for long periods of time include:

1. Using an incompatible charger or a lowly rated charger. In this day and age, a lot of people don't know how to read charger output in terms of watts and ampere. It's a bit sad. I wanted to get my mom a case, the seller scammed another buyer who wanted a good charger by selling him a 5V/1A charger and assured him that it was a fast charger. Me I just weak.

2. The power source. Phones will charge poorly in low current, a bad generator that fluctuates will also charge phones poorly.

3. External temperature. Phones will not charge or charge very slowly in hot temperatures.

4. Using a phone while it is charging.

5. The type of charging technology used
Well said! Thumbs up grin
