[AT&T LG Optimus G] marayag001:
I've been trying to get my LGOG which is currently in 4.0.4 to update to 4.1.2. I already have everything ready. I've installed all the software needed (LG drivers, Components, GenericModules, LGNPST 1.2), I have the .bin, and I have the .dll.

The only thing standing in my way is: LGNPST won't let me choose the .dll! I can select the .bin file, but not the .dll. I've been trying to get this to work for hours; I even stayed up until 4am trying to figure it out.

I searched around, and I found that I had to register the .dll file first in order for it to be detected by LGNPST, but it does not want to be registered, no matter how many times I try it. This error comes up everytime I make an attempt:

The module "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.

I even went through attempting to register it through an escalated (Administrator-level) Command Prompt, to no avail. I don't know what to do; all I want is to update it to 4.1.2 but it's been so difficult for me. Would anyone please help? Any support will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

P.S.

I live in the Philippines, so calling AT&T to push the update to my phone is an absolute no-go. Thank you!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
That is a .DLL for use with another program called LGflashtool so it isn't compatible with lgnpst. If you use tStilenzio automated lgnpst it will register the DLL on install. Unzip it then right click on .bat file to run as administrator ( it will say LS970 DLL but it works fine).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] marayag001:
I've also tried his LGNPST, but it still doesn't want to work. When I use his, only one DLL is available: the one called LGNPST_Utility3.dll which is the last file found in the Components 3.0 folder, and not the one for the E970. When I tried to flash the stock ROM using the Utility3.dll, it errored immediately; I tried that about 3 or 4 times. :(

hello i got a similar problem the dll wont register an my at&t e970 is brick do you think it will work with the LS970 DLL?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Jesus you really need to go to the irc channel and be patient for someone knowledgeable to come along. If you got that far, your own lack of reading comprehension has posited that question in your brain. If you had read the instructions, you'd know that's the correct dll.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Only 3.30 hours?

I actually had 6 hours and 20 minutes yesterday but i forgot to take a screenshot before i charged the device. I will take one next time ;)

But yeah, i am usually hitting at least 5 hours per charge.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockmaster:
How could that be? I even turn off my gps via wifi and set screen brightness to minimum auto. My god...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
Very light usage
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mozzy:
Screen time???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
I recharged the phone, I no longer have that information, but since the last full charge here are the statistics, Screen time is 2 hours and 6 min:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Quick question do you take it off charge when light turns green and display reads 100%, my light goes green at about 97% charged, just curious if im doing it correctly
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
The light normally turns green when it is around 90 - 95% charged. It is just to let you know that it is almost charged.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
I am not sure.

I have brightness set to about 50 - 60%. Mixture of wifi and 3g, mostly wifi.

Gmail and auto sync on. Stamina mode ON.

I have been hitting 5 hours every time and sometimes more. I will say though, it took my battery a good 5 - 10 charges before the capacity improved a lot. To begin with, stamina mode would say around 1 day and 12 hours battery remaining. Now it says sometimes 11 days remaining. This shows me that you need to give the device a good few charges before the battery will work at its fullest capacity.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockmaster:
I'm on fourth one and see little improvements since first cycle. Thanks for the info. That's pretty much awesome battery. So i don't have to switch to butterfly s for bigger battery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Cheers for that, do you leave it charging after the 100% has been reached as ive been unplugging at 100%.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
How do you do the full cycles?, do you allow the phone to turn off by itself (1% battery left) and then fully charge to 100%?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Yeah, I just let it drain until it switches off and then charge it again.

I would do this for the first week then after that, just make sure i keep the battery topped up when im near a charger.

The charging is super fast though which is 1 thing i love. After owning an HTC One which was painfully slow to charge, the Z Ultra is a revelation haha
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Yes i do. I will let it hit 100% and then leave it for 20 minutes more just to make sure it is actually at 100%.

:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Yeah maybe give it a little time.

I have absolutely no complaints with the battery life. A minimum of 5 hours screen on time is a lot and more than enough to make it through a full day.

I can see a lot of people who currently own a nexus 4, Galaxy S3 etc, if they decide to switch to this will be blown away by the battery life.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brosenz:
After 1 day of Full Usage

After 13 hours since the phone was removed from the charger I still have 1% of battery left. I was able to get 9 hours of Screen Time, pretty impressive. :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avsquare:
That's impressive but.. there's no apps seen on the list which suggests you did nothing with it with screen on for 9hrs :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Im dead serious XD I was getting 5 nearly 6 hours screen on time and it dropped dramatically :/

J
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well, you only used your ZU for 3 hours, and it has been in standby for 1 day and 10 hours, so you haven't used it that much, and it will still use battery while it's in standby. You could've easily gotten better screen on time if you had actually used it more :p You could've gotten 6 hours screen time and around 18-20 hours of standby, but you chose to keep it in standby most of the time :p It's not rocket science :laugh: Also, don't expect amazing battery performance if you game a lot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
I do not game a lot, Ive got 1 game on there XD And i play about 10-20 mins per day, i noticed sometimes the stand by time can be amazing and sometimes itll drain like hell

Also, media sever only takes up 5% but its kept the phone on for more then an hour

J
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Media Server will be active when you listen to music and stuff like that.

Tip: Don't trust the battery monitor. It's pretty ****ty, and it's not as simple as it seems.

Battery technology or the lack of it appears to be the final barrier with our devices. We have all the bells and whistles but cant use them for long due to battery restrictions. Is got to an absurd situation. Such high tech with '

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mknewman:
I'm very pleased with both the battery capacity and the burn rate. I do use Stamina.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KeikiNYC011:
This is my battery usage now.

The first image states that I'd have a standby time of 1 Day and 8 hours

But estimated battery time is 20 hours

Second image states I've been currently using my device for little over more than three hours
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Screen on time helps

J
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KeikiNYC011:
Was going to post that after 3 to 4 hourd but seen you can't wait

There was 30% percent battery left. So from the time I'd turn on my phone with 84% percent at 6:20am to 1:30pm in the afternoon with 30%
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Was that 3 hours and 25 minutes?

Id turn off google now, all google accounts sync's you dont need, NFC, disable Google + and turn off GPS :)

If nothing works, try re flashing using PC C

J
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I believe that's the screen-on time. Google Now is indeed a battery sucking devil, but it's actually not bad on KitKat after Google added the option to use low-power localization (it only uses WiFi and the cellular nettwork). NFC doesn't really use that much battery, but there's no point of having it enabled if you're not using it. Google+ is satan itself, and is an expert at killing the battery, so i fully agree on that one. Same with GPS.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Yeah thats what i meant, 3 hours 25 mins of screen on time, thats pretty bad, although ive been getting around the same * sigh *

At one point I was getting 6 hours of screen on time, now a maximum of 4 -_- looking forward too 4.4 with ART and battery optimizations

J
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KeikiNYC011:
Jackhammer

You're. Not reading carefully. My post states that I still have 30% percent battery left so there for it would have been possible to have a display on~time of 4 hours and 32 minutes. Another is the phone has been on since as early as 6:20am with 84% percent battery life and it was about 1:30pm with 30% battery life left when that last post of the screen shot. With modern to little heavy usage the phone would have lasted until 4-5pm. But is the device was charge at 100% the device would have continue on until about 8pm evening time. That's over 12 hours of life in a day usage. Think about that one.

Note everything was off when not using. DATA, WIFI, NFC ETC

Only manually turn items on if I'd need them.

Brightness is at low at 85% percent of the time and on the go (when needed) it at 20% in order to view some content in sunlight conditions
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Remember that the longer you keep it in standby, the shorter screen-on time you'll get. It still uses battery while it's in standby. The times where i've gotten almost 8 hours of screen-on time, i've gotten around 15-16 hours in uptime, so that's expected. If i don't use it much one day, it can go for days without needing a charge. Solution? Use it more (note that games doesn't count since they suck battery).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sartre1314:
Here's mine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
for all you people getting the really crappy screen on times ( ie. 3 - 4 hours ) flash the gpe rom - my screen on time has doubled on this rom, last month i was running the 4.3 carbon rom and was getting around 4-5 hours - now i am getting 8 - 10 hours screen on time
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KeikiNYC011:
Just realize that my stamina mode was turn off as well. So this replies back to my last two replies here. Without stamina my screen on time is normal. If you look back you can see it disable. There getting 3 hours and 25 minutes out of 84% percent battery down to 30% percent battery life without stamina mode enable isn't bad. That's good by far.

hi all,

since moving to 290 my battery life has been awful.

i used wakelock detector and in the last 4 hours sonyericsson.android.wakeup woke my phone 4877 times

i found this but one of the notes mentions screwing up the device by editing build prop.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382680

i'm not averse to editing the prop (had to previously for lcd density) but is there a better way you're aware of to disable this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bellabee:
I don't know if these stats are any good, I've had a Samsung Mega with a 3200mAh battery and lasted slightly longer. I've only had this device for a week now and have gone through probably around 3 or 4 proper discharge cycles from 100% to dead. And has been on stamina since unboxing. Perhaps it could get better with more discharge cycles

I'd say I'm a heavy user- mostly browsing Facebook or doing snapchats or instagram.

A little over 5 hours. I didn't take a screen shot unfortunately. My phone rang shortly after I took the first screen shot and that conversation lasted about 20 min. Battery was down to 1% by then so I just plugged it up. Lol

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Narvarr:
Still getting better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] captain_fid:
Sorry, no screen shot....

... but while performing some battery tests on a new Ultra (stamina mode enabled), I was able to get almost 3.5 days of continuous music, audio books, etc. Obviously very little screen time, still --- Days.

Steaming video has been around 14%/ per hour.

I almost NEVER have to recharge every night like I have before. Most of the time, I get home from work with about 65 - 75 % of the battery remaining.

Games can suck the juice as you may expect.

Overall, I am very impressed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Some said Black background on LCD is useless but..

No Screenshot but i can attest that if you primarily use the device for reading white text on black background, Z Ultra can pull 6+ hours.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
as we dont have an led screen white on black will make very little difference
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
but my result tells me otherwise. So not to argue about it but sometimes a black background still help even though not as much as OLED.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
I have to agree with blueether. LCD has a constant backlight so setting a black background will change nothing. Savings will be visible only on AMOLED/OLED screens.

White on black may mean that the backlight is less bright, but it is still on.

Ive had near 7 hours of screen on in one charge, nothing fancy like all black background either

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
I have good feeling that even though the battery life is less than stellar compared to 2014 flagship, its age is going to be one of the longest though. Because the surface area is so large that the battery is hard to be overheated as a whole. The only usual hotspot is on the battery connector piece. Hope it's true :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] QQuie:
Dismal battery life for a brand new phone

Hi all,

I have been following this thread closely ever since I bought a brand new Xperia Z Ultra in mid-September 2014. It was manufactured in Aug 2013 and remained sealed until I opened it recently.

I've posted the battery life below as I find it really disappointing. The battery drains so quickly despite me trying everthing I could, including:

1) zero brightness, followed by Lux screen dimmer

2) minimum game usage of less than 1 hr

3) Stamina mode on

4) mostly wifi, some LTE.

My suspicion is that the battery was damaged after 1 year of storage. I tried DU battery saver n Lux screen dimmer but it doesn't help. My heart sinks seeing the battery percentage leak just on standby mode.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be contributing to the terrible battery performance?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bioan:
Do a factory reset and use it one day with no apps installed. If it's ok, then an app is causing you problems. If it is the same, you have a faulty unit.

Sent from my Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BlackOrder:
Hi, this is how I get 2 days easy:

enable Stamina.

disable auto for screen brightness. (auto eat a lot of battery )

keep brightness to bear minimum.

install 360 and clear ram after use.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
This. You have to narrow it down a bit. It could well be a rogue app that's sucking the life out of your battery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
clearing RAM will only use more battery. let android deal with the RAM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BlackOrder:
actually 360 doesn't just clear ram but close all non-System/"non-Foreground" background processes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
Which will kill your battery even faster. Android is not a typical desktop OS, like Windows or OSX. Let it do its job :cool: Task killers were a necessity on pre-Android 4.0. No need to use one after ICS. You can read more about it here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BlackOrder:
Thanks for sticking with your point. Now i learned something new. Thanks :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
14 month old battery. I'm impressed by the quality. I was on my second battery at this time when i had the Galaxy Note (holy shait that was a poor battery - quality wise), but it looks like Sony chose to use a high quality battery on the Ultra, which is good since you know.. it's sealed.

Running the 4.4.4 GPe ROM. No special tweaks or anything. I could probably have gotten a lot more out of it had I... well.. used it more.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
Almost 6 hours of screen-on-time and over 20 hours standby. I bet i can easily get 7+ hours if i shave off 10 hours of standby time. Usage this time around? Browsing the web with Chrome, browsing Reddit a lot with Reddit Sync, typing all day on Facebook Messenger, and playing some RETRY. Also bought Afterlight and played around with it for some time.
