[Sony Xperia ZL] schnidex:
I've just got a replacement C6503 after my first didn't arrive sealed, and I thought it'd been switched on at least once before I had it..

..but I have to say, the battery life on that was pretty good. The estimated standby was two days, when battery was at 100%. I got just over two days actual usage out of it.

The replacement one, however, only says 22 hours estimated standby when fully charged. On the first use, I got just over a day from it - same settings as the other one. Is this estimate reliable going forward, or does it change after the first few charges and increase?

Because if it's going to stay that way and doesn't get better over time, I might just keep the original C6503 and send the replacement back!

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
In my case, the battery got worse after the upgrade to 4.2.2
[Sony Xperia ZL] kickthefreak:
thats why i revert to 434 - 4.1.2 old stock hahaha :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] schnidex:
I'm not talking about the 4.2.2 upgrade guys, I'm talking about the estimated battery life that the power management screen gives you, compared to real life performance and how it changes after the first couple of charges/uses.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
The estimated time is always wrong.... It should be a self-learning system, but in ny case it didn't learn anything. Everytime I charge it shows about 4 days left, although my batery always lasts just 1 to 2 days.

On 4.1 it was more precise than now on 4.2.2.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutilicious:
Hi Guys,

Ive got a rooted (Easy Rooting Toolkit) Xperia Z 4.2.2 Stock firmware. After deinstalling some Apps I restarted my phone, and now it stucks at the waves animation right after the Xperia logo. I have TWRP (XZrecovery) installed and got backups but I cant find a way to boot into that recovery without using the app.

Is there any way to get my phone back working? Is there any shortcut starting TWRP without using the app?

Help would be much appreciated..

Greetz,

hutilicious

Push volume up while booting should boot you into recovery.

You can also use Sony Update Service to restore your phone.

I pressed and hold like 1000 times volume up without any effect.

anyways..I got something to work.

For anyone with a similar problem:

my phone suddenly started again, but without the homescreen, i had a black screen and the soft keys.

I was able to start the small app browser. Then i navigated to google play and opened Titanium Backup via Google Play Store.

Then I was able to recover the Apps Ive deleted. After that I had my home screen back and was able to boot into recovery via XZRecovery. Then I restored my backup and phone is fine now.

Thanks for your replies. This Thread may be closed.

Just bought a second hand XDA2 and the guy threw in a folding keyboard.

(It looks the same as the one at the bottom of the "connectors"section page.The driver has installed fine and the XDA beeps when connected.

When I select the keyboard activation screen the "infrared & serial" is checked but when I try to select the keyboard option it appears to try but then beeps and defaults to infrared/serial.

I can see some kind of input connection on the left hand side but as it came with no cables or manuals I'm clueless.

I visited their site http://www.darfon.com/ but could only find the drivers which came with the keyboard when I got it.

Help Please before it goes out the bedroom window.

Seems like Lg will be the leader on full HD displays. They've just announced the worlds slimmest Full HD display. Its flexible also. It uses true RGB pixels and not pentile. Its contrast ratio, quality, and brightness surpasses anything on the market now. It has already been officially certfied on all this by Intertek. Its speculated this display will be on new LG G2. I'd figure on the next G pro also. Q3 will be very interesting for LG phones. I'm so amazed with display on G pro now. How much better can these things get? Lol

Sorting them based on post count might work, as the most active rom threads will have tons of posts but sorting them based on last post (default) is better imo.

Yes, I got the unlock code from them yesterday and the first thing I did was to pop my TMO sim in. Only 3G for me. So then I check my apn settings and configure it for fast.tmo but that doesn't even connect up, had to us EPC.tmo for the 3g to connect.

Did you have to mess with your APN settings?

It took about 3 minutes after putting the SIM in for it to auto configure. Then rebooted and data came online all bands. APN is epc.

MY phone works, I got a text and asked tech support if my phone could get LTE, he checked and said yes, and that my phone was able to so we did the connection steps and that's all I give a $hit about!

Haha I noticed that too maybe he's thinking because it says LTE/GSM/WCDMA he has lte
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
UMTS is 2G/3G. If you're getting LTE it will say LTE not UMTS. I'd bet that if you start a download, and check again, it will say HSPAP. Also 10mbps is way low for LTE speeds. In another thread there are reports of 17-20mbps on a very weak signal. Strong signal should net you close to a 30mbps average.

HSPA+21 will get you around that 10mbps you posted the screenshot. HSPA+42 will average around 17-25mbps.

Anyway, if you really want to know for sure, check that again while a download is in progress. We'd love to see the screenshot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
Sorry, cannot help that as where I live, I don't get LTE and on the road I do. I took the screenshot while at home.

I again called T-Mobile Technical Support to verify the ability to receive LTE and the IMEI# number that is on my phone

IS CAPABILE TO RECEIVE LTE. Sorry if you don't get it, as it's faster than the 4G, but I don't care if anyone believes me or not, I do get it and bottom line, It's faster than I used to get.

Granted, some of the older GSII phones will not EVER get the LTE as it was not in the hardware of the phone, but the later devices even with the same model numbers WILL receive the LTE. You can easily check with T-Mobile on the availability of LTE With YOUR IMEI#

Some of you will, and some of you won't that's just how it is. All the Knowitalls can argue all they want, but fact is fact and no problem, believe whatever you want, but my phone gets lte, and no matter what anyone says, it still does. Ha ha ha so that's all.

This will end my responses to this thread. If anyone wants to check their ability to get LTE, Just Call T-Mo and get the Tech support to check you IMEI # for the possibility of LTE reception. BTW, if it's not able to now, it still MIGHT in the near future, as this LTE rollout is for certain IMEI groups, and there will be one more later to include more IMEI number groups.

Another screenshot would show this when you get LTE enabled:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skyhook322:
this is painful
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Lol. Dude, 90% of what you just said makes no sense!

And STILL you refuse to post correct screenshots! If you followed my instructions, and LTE was not in your area, you'd show HSPAP, not UMTS! And if you only get it on the road, take the screenshot somewhere you get it.

But I'm curious, why would they send you a message saying LTE is available in your area, when you just told us its not? And in your op you said you are in Seattle, which does have lte. And ill bet no one has ever heard of this imei stuff you are now using.... nobody else has haf to wait for certain imei groups. Everyone who has an lte capable device is already getting lte.

And just some friendly advice, if you had started this out differently, we wouldn't be arguing with you this way. Opening the thread calling people knowitall naysayers, then telling us to go suck our thumbs while you laugh, does not encourage civil discussion.

Finally, and this should be the final nail in this debate:

The FCC never cleared the T999 for LTE, so even if it were possible, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN! T-Mobile would face fines galore!

If that's not enough, why bother with a brand new model, with different hardware, and go through the cost of FCC testing and clearance for it, if all you need to do is "activate the imei", or update the software? That would just be poor business sense if nothing else.

For you own sake, test your access like I told you before. I don't even care if you post screenshots, as I know that when you see what is true, you wouldn't anyway because you seem the type that cant admit they were wrong.

If you are able to prove me wrong however, I will gladly conceed the argument and will be the first to try to jump on lte!

Yet you're thinking about fooling us by saying yours is getting LTE.. I tell you what.. You're not getting lte but possible that since they turned on lte in your area you're getting better speed.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jelly419:
I agree. At my house, I get terrible network speed. But down the street, literally 2 minutes down the street, I get 25 Mb/s download. I got the text from T-Mobile also, but it says the service is available, it doesn't say that I get it. It also has a link that takes you to their website to buy an LTE phone. I get great speed down the street from my home, which is a lot faster than a couple months ago, doesn't mean I'm on LTE. The only thing that has changed between now and a couple months ago is that I updated my modem to MD5.

+Cool story, bro!

+The "Thanks" you get from me is not just thanks, but can be laughing, props, +1, and so on
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naturesretard:
LTE divvies up bandwidth differently I'd I'm not mistaken compared to hspa +. But all you t999 owners will see better speeds as LTE becomes the new standard. Less people on the network. The main difference between the two is LTE has deeper penetration (generally speaking) and you get MUCH faster upload speeds. Those in hspa42 areas will see speeds comparable to LTE.
