Yes. I tried that... However, I get back the error saying that my password is not valid.

I tried using both Google account password and Application Specific password. No luck.

The moment I disable 2 step authentication, my usual google password is accepted on my phone with out any issues.

For some reason, both my google account password / application specific password do NOT seem to work using gapps.

Hmm... not sure why! but that does not seem to be the behavior in my case.

Do you think flashing the gapps again could help?

Just want to be sure that reflashing gapps doesn't mess anything with the current phone setup! i.e., loss of data or something or some loss of settings causing apps to fc.. or any such?

I just reflashed gapps again and 2 step auth is now working for google.

Guys i have a problem, i got my nexus 4 yesterday and first thing i did was to unlock it install a recovery image, etc. Then i installed AOKP ROM and suddenly alla the sensors are not recognized any more by the phone. Then i restore my phone through adb/fastboot with an full img from google and again all the sensors work fine. Is it the radio of the phone, the kernel? I tried franco kernel and again nothing. What should i do? P.S. i have some experience so i don't think i have done something stupid.

Thank you, Ion

You shouldve read around a bit.

You propably had 4.2.2 on your N4 and flashed the 4.2.1 AOKP Rom, that messed up your Sensors.

If you take a look inside the AOKP thread there should be a build posted by Sethyx its 4.2.2 this one works.

A good italian reviewer said that the battery life lasts only 10-11 hours under heavy usage WITH Stamina mode on, LTE and HSPA+ turned off and push notifications on via 3G from mail, Whatsapp and a couple more apps (you can decide which app has the permission to keep on running even in Stamina Mode). He also says that the LTE module kinda warm the device under stress, the viewing angles kinda suck and that there are mini lags in the UI (problem solved using Nova Launcher).

Battery is replaceable, just give it to Sony within the 2 years and they will change it for you if seomthing goes wrong, failing that i am sure guides will pop up how to remove the back cover

terrible phone quality, DO NOt judge a phone when you have never used it,

HTC M7 HAD to be clocked higher with the SAME processor as Sense is laggy and slows the phone down,

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Using the Z yesterday I had over 9 hrs of use with 3.5 hours with the screen on (about 20 minutes of that with full brightness, rest of the time I had it about half brightness), 4g data, wifi and bluetooth on all day, facebook and twitter syncing every hour, email every 30 minutes plus a gmail account for push email, gtalk running full time, about 6 accounts syncing also used the camera a little bit for burst shots before I plugged it in to charge when I went to bed. Still had around 20% left. That is without the stamina mode on or any other battery saving features.

This phone last so much longer than my ion or TL. I don't think there is an issue with battery life here.

Im getting terrible battery performance on my xperia z.

I've turned everything off except wifi and cell reception (data is disabled), no apps running except chrome, there are no apps running in the background, stamina enabled, brightness turned to 0, I am finding that I can browse a couple webpages on wikipedia and see the battery drop 1-2% a minute.

With the same setup as before and playing a mp3 - the battery drops by approximately 1% per minute whilst playing a mp3.

I'm coming from the iphone world and have found that battery life ok. I was willing to accept some shortened battery life coming to this phone with a bigger screen - but 1% per minute seems crazy.

I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with my phone - should I take it back?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:

There must be something wrong, losing 1-2 % a minute while browsing is a lot, 1 % while playing music is bad too. Are you rooted? If yes install better battery stats and see what is causing your phone to drain quickly.

This is strange maybe a background app is running and sipping juice. For me playing 30 minutes of mp3 on sd card on 80% volume and a one minute call (all with out the screen turned on) resulted in no % loss. I have to say that the first 2 charges they battery lost its charge much quicker than now

Re: Xperia Z battery life

Mine says 4 Days 21 hours at 100%
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegost:
I haven't gotten mine yet so I can't give you a hands-on review of it, but from what I've read in various forums and reviews, the Stamina mode (which is supposed to give ten times the battery limit) is not as impressive as advertised. With average use you're going to charge it every night. Although I find that with all my phones, battery life is individual. I can get three days out of my S3s battery although everyone else seems to only get one day out of it, it depends on how many tasks you have going, the screen brightness, and the biggest battery-killer of all, the data connection. I usually leave it off while in my pocket, which saves a huge amount of battery-life.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnthedon:
just searched it.

I just searched it and quite a few other people have this problem , its nothing to do with the battery I think its just a fault in the gauge level

and stamina mode only works if your not using the phone, if you use it constantly, it will have almost the same affect without it on (saving maybe 10% max).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bythebeardofchabal:
Not great, not awful. I've so far been unable to leave it to drain and charge to full for a couple of cycles, so I don't think it's very representative at the moment,

Ever since I got my first smartphone (almost 3 years) I've become used to charging every night, so that doesn't bother me.

Coming from a Lumia 920 it's a little disappointing, but compared to my old iPhone 4, the battery is good.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
Re: Xperia Z battery life

It's a phone, Stamina Mode just means if you leave home in the morning, and use it a little, when you come home it's still a phone, all those processes that ran when your phone screen wasn't even On made that not even possible with my previous phones!

Even not using the phone a Galaxy nexus could lose 20% on a 40 minute train journey with poor coverage.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
In addition to Sony's own power mangement tools, I also run 'Battery Widget? Reborn' and that gives its own estimation of battery life remaining, just like Juice Defender and many others.

I've only had my XZ for five days, and at first Stamina Mode was happily suggesting I'd get more than double the time (not sure where anyone got the idea about 10 times the standby, as I was told it's nearer 2-4 times) but as I've been using the phone more, it clearly learns and adjusts accordingly. The battery widget was a lot more realistic from the off, with the time estimated at 14 hours when the phone was still thinking 2 days... (and, no, it didn't last anywhere near as long).

Stamina mode is only effective at cutting power consumption when in standby, but if you are always using it (just as anyone with a new phone is likely to be) then it can't really do anything and will have to adjust rapidly down in its estimation.

In due course, as the 'new phone' feeling wears off, I am sure it will work again. Let's be honest, if you put the phone into flight mode and turned off all data communication and kept the screen off, it would likely last a week or more! But, in reality nobody is really going to do that.

All signs are pointing to the battery doing better on my XZ than my Nexus 4, although neither are going to be spectacular - as is the case with all modern smartphones packing such immense power and users wanting to use their devices for everything.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
I had the same thing actually.

My phone was @ 86% and it said that I had 12h of standby time left.

Now 8h later I have like 40% left:P and now it's saying 8h remaining.

That's without Stamina mode, when I activate it, it gives me 1d 21h^^
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
Re: Xperia Z battery life

Yup the total time of Stamina Mode is how long it would take for the battery to run out if you took it on a trip and only looked at the screen when you got a text or when one of your permitted apps notified you. No one is going to test that with a shiny New phone lol

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
Media server is responsible for many things, so it could be normal use depending on what you did with your phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renzo4000:
Be aware that Android will scan your media files for the first time (also on your sdcard). So every time you kill this process, or reboot your phone, it will start all over again. Don't worry, just let it go and within a day this process will not use as much resources anymore. Also give android some time to calibrate your battery (it needs at least one of two weeks to get the right figures and you battery will be at its max. capacity).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
For those with media server battery drain issues use an app to exclude most of the directories from the scanner, PowerAMP can do that for you and is what a friend used to solve vicious battery drain due to the media server on his Moto Razr.

I usually get just above 3 hrs of screen on time but because Stamina works so well I charge my battery every 16-17hrs.
