Carbon Fibers FC

Hi, first of all, thx for the good work :good:

I have one problem with the latest version from 09/29: I always get a FC if I want to use Carbon Fibers (Carbon settings). It worked at the very beginning after flashing the ROM, but now I get FC everytime. I already did wipe cache etc. and tried to clear data for that app, but it's greyed out...

Any hints?

Thx yogi

---------------------------

found it, seems to be a general problem with Carbon using themes...

i use my dock to charge, the power comes from stock 1500mAh charger to the dock. i am frequently noticing very slow charging or it doenst seem to be charging.. following is the screenshot ..

so the last recent charge when i put the device on the dock last night was for 6-7 hours.. that should be sufficient for the device to charge 100% it can be seen that there was no awakes and the screen was off during this period.. what could be the problem?

Are you using the supplied cable with the charger?

I personally only get a decent charge rate with the supplied cable. I have tried other cables of decent enough quality, but they don't seem to supply enough power to charge the phone at the charger's full capacity.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
It's strange. I have a decent 24awg cable that charges other android phones/devices in the house just fine. When I use it with my Z, however, it charges very slowly.

I'm looking at ordering a few more cables to try out, as I need a slightly longer cable than the one supplied, due to socket/bedside table placement (I don't want extension cables trailing across the room!).

There is a Nokia Charger that has a very long cord. I love it. It is rated at 1200mAh but charges as fast as the bundled charger.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefnoob:
Im currently experiencing that problem. Before, USB is really fast...from close to empty to 100% in less than 2 hours...recently though, it sort of degrades.

Now, my dock charger is faster than my USB charger.

I tried other chargers and cables too(from SONY too and 1 LG) but it seems its not the charger.

It could be software bug or worse...the Micro USB socket is broken.

I'll try flashing clean fware first to eliminate software bug...I'll let you guys know.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethervagrant:
I thought this was just an xperia problem in general. With most.chargers I cant use the phone or it will still drain, and finding the right.combinationof cable and wallwart has been a matter of trial and error. I have an hp block with 2.5 amps output, that combined with a sturdy lg cable is the only mix that charges at a reasonable speed and lets me use the phone at all without continuing to decrease batttery. I had the same issue on several stock firmwares and 2 custom roms, so I donth think its an issue with monx rom.

Also: there is nothing special about the branded charger that came with it, it comes down to output and a quality cable. The stock.charger was **** for me as well, I took it apart and there is no chip or special hardware in it or anything, its just a cheap charger with staneard 1.5 amps out and a decent usb cable.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver_sentinel:
i used the charger from galaxy s4 ( 2A) to charge my xperia z ultra but it didn't charge it faster than the sony stock charger ( 1.5A). Weird. it seems that the phone doesn't allow more amps to be transfered. thats ashame cause if you use the phone while charging it doesn't charge almost at all. the consumption is higher than the charge rate
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinek0111:
I know this topic is old, but I'm experiencing the same problem and haven't found any way out, and I think there's no point in starting a new thread while this one hasn't been locked. Has anybody figured out the reason and/or any solution?

About midnight, I connected my Xperia to the charger. It still had about 15% of battery then. And at 7am I realized it had only 65%. So, it took 7 hours to charge it about 50%. Does it really have to last that long? More than a half a day to recharge the battery fully, providing I wouldn't use the phone at all?

Currently, I use a Nokia charger, which gives 5.0V/1200mA (at least they say so and I have no way to verify it), but using the original one, with the cord it was supplied with, changes nearly nothing. Using a USB port of my computer instead of any charger doesn't help at all.

I currently use CM 12.1, but I had used stock ROM and had experienced the same problem then.

Any ideas, please? This is really driving me insane.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aregedit:
I have the same problem. It's not problem of battery for sure. Battery drain normalny, just can't charge. Sometimes I can charge my phone in 2h but typically it's about 10 hours....

Edit: in accubattery app I can See that electric current when charging is jumping from - 700mA to +800mA :|
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerikwan:
for everybody who have problem with charging, I have some suggestion.

First, do a clean install of your desired ROM that have fast charge ability on the kernel (like RR or Linegae OS) and turn on the fast charge option. If your kernel doesn't have this ability, no problem. Just do a clean install to make sure everything is good.

Second, buy a high quality original Sony charger. Mine is UCH10 5.0V/1800mA.

Last, use high quality USB cable that has short and thick cable.

With this, my device took 1.5 hour charging time from 4% to 95%. But device get more heat during charge.

Hope this tips help you guys.

Sorry if my english is bad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lordviruz:
so basically what I have is USB OTG cable not the Y one . and a hub . what I wanna ask if what if I plug my charger into the usb hub will the phone charge? and if I plug a flash disk will it mount and charge the phone without breaking it? . if im too confusing I meant to use a M to M usb port from charger then to the hub to power it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swagstr:
Try it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] donbowman:
No.

It will only charge if the OTG cable has a 124K resistor from pin 4 to pin 5.

Your OTG cable has a short between ping 4 and pin 5, and as such the tablet will drive VCC out.

you would be plugging it into a host port on the hub anyway, which is not powered.

you will need a Y cable, and the SW on the N7 doesn't currently do both charging and OTG simultaneously, this is something I (and hopefully others) are trying to sort out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] babakmaham:
Hey guys what's this means?!

My battery is falling down automatically with no use!

See

I am wondering about this faulty behavior because i am in 510 firmware with no extra apps installed

I had this issue with. 475 too.

Help me please if this is a hardware issue send it back for second time in this week!

Instead of i charged this phone two time totally when i am bought it.first time faulty drainage happened yesterday when i played some game and battery went to 80% then i went to sleep for half an hour and when i turn the phone on again,noticed to battery is lost to 30%!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] luisarn:
I noticed a faulty battery usage indicator on mine.

It happened 2 or 3 times, when I plugged the USB cable to the phone (other end connected to a PC or charger) and the phone LED immediately turned green and the battery indicator jumped from 60% to 100%.

Nothing happens if I re-plug the charging cable, the phone keeps saying it's fully charged. Even powering off doesn't help.

The 100% power won't drain faster but I noticed that when it goes to 30% the phone will shutdown because no more juice is inside the battery and the indicator will go back to less than 10% after re-plugging the power cord.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] babakmaham:
Is this happened even after new update for you?

Anybody else has similar issue like me?

i am so confused ? !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] luisarn:
I'm using the build 14.1.B.0.471
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] babakmaham:
In your case i think that's better try it with latest firmware.maybe solved.

But for me,the story is different,unfortunately!

another Q has been busy in my mind. Why sony didn't used a better charger for this phone?! Charger has only 1.5 mA output power! For test, i am charging the phone now with s IV charger (2mA)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Higher mA output is not necessarily better.

Taking more time to charge is more gentler on your battery.

Pumping up the mAh to 2 or higher will improve the charging time, but the number of total cycle charges (i.e. life span of your battery) will go down and suffer.

Anyway, 3 hrs from empty to full is normal, right? Anything quicker is a quickcharger.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] babakmaham:
Ok.no problem dude.3 hours is good time charge for me,but i have another issue that is explained to you.my battery is falling down suddenly!i don't know what is caused for this behavior.see picture in this post!this is a normal drain after a couple of hours.but after one or more hours that is falling down suddenly to 40%! Without any usage.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Good thing you included screenshots from GSAM, so that we have something to go on now.

Remaining (Av.use) 18:51

This tells me that you once had a phone that was efficient, so from the day you realised this drop in performance, scrutinize what settings have changed (inc app installation)

Remaining (last 15 min usage) 5:47

IF u continue using your device in the way you have done in the last 15 mins, you have under 6 hours left of battery power.

In the 15% discharge since fully charged (and since when GSAM started taking this data on your screenshot), 62.9% of power was used by screen.

Some conclusions can be drawn here.

As you mention, you were probably playing some games during the 4hrs and 11min the phone was turned on(from when it was fully charged and then unplugged), very likely during the latter stages than earlier from when the phone was fully charged.

I see your screen is set on DIM, and that it has been active for nearly one hour. Your display was on for 25% of the time since full charge, and that has only used up 15% of battery.

Whether it is games or video playback, screen will be on, and looking at the data there is nothing faulty. In another words, set at dim, 7 hours or so of continuous display on sounds about right..(1 hr already used plus 5:47 expected left)

Now, if your complaint is that if you turned your phone screen off and left it that way for a few hours, came back, then found massive power drain, again, a few conclusions can be taken.

It is a shame there is no screenshot of the app usage form the exact same period. But, If you left the game app open in the background, it is possible that power is drawn still, possibly if your phone is not sleeping properly. In another words, CPU usage for game is there even when not used.

Do you have stamina mode on?

Conclusion... Form GSAM data, there is nothing wrong.

Looking at the first screen capture in OP, as you say, drain happened when phone was not awake, and screen off. I can only conclude that there was an app(s) open at the time which had been still running. If the app(s) is not closed or hibernated properly, it can happen.

If your phone felt hot at that time, it confirms CPU usage.In another words something was left open. If it was cold, even though the phone had been off for a while, then it could be faulty battery calibration.

And next time you see this big drop in charge, take screen shots of GSAM from apps and system. We would know then for sure.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] babakmaham:
Special thanks for your great comment

Fortunately,that horrible battery drainage don't happened from yesterday to now.

This means there is no faulty behavior after last full charge that i have been!

I don't know that reason but i done some actions after fully charged phone yestarday:

1.instilling Gsam battery pro as you have seen!

2.Charging with another charger(2mA galaxy s4 charger)

3.setting screen brightness to 30%

4.setting off "optimized backlight"

5.battery calibration with "battery calibration" app

This new informations from my battery behavior after 19 hours fully charged at last day from now and i hope that horrible drainage wouldn't happen in future else!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciurius:
Several people have mentioned that they have host mode connectivity problems. USB devices that are connected to the tablet, via an OTG cable or a USB host adapter, are not (or not always) seen by the tablet.

Some people mentioned that the problem started only after the upgrade to 4.1.2.

In my particular case -- stock rom but rooted -- it works immedeately after reboot but stops working sometime later, a strong clue that it is a software (driver) problem.

This has been going on for a while now. I'm wondering: what is the current status? Did anyone complain to Samsung and got a useful answer? Did anyone send the tablet back as defective?
[Microsoft Surface] comandospi:
Hi, i want to tell my experience about why i'm returning back to Microsoft my Surface RT.

Some days ago, my Surface started to show BSOD's while i was using it. It just frozen and i had to wait like 5 minutes to boot again. That was really annoying. Also, i bought 'Halo: Spartan Assault' (that was running at sooo low FPS on my Surface, 15 aprox, while in my PC is running perfectly), and while i was playing it showed a 'Drivers problem' about the Nvidia with a message on the desktop and the game crashed.

Also i want to say that apps like Twitter opened really slow (For example, Twitter took like one minute to open!), and Internet Explorer doesn't run smooth, it has a really sluggy scroll on complex webpages. This problems, and a blacklight bleeding problems with the screen took me to return the Surface RT to the technical service.

There is a photo of the backlight bleeding problem.

¿Somebody has also this kind of problems with his Surface RT?.

Thanks!
[Microsoft Surface] hotphil:
I have a small amount of light bleed in one corner. The same corner I dropped it on, so I just assumed it was due to that.

[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
By the way, you can vastly increase the browser performance by using the desktop-mode browser and using the Tracking Protection feature as an ad-blocker. The problem for RT's browsing is that the browser is fully capable like a desktop browser, meaning that it will show all the Flash ads and mouse-hover-pop-over ads and all that bullcrap, but the CPU powering it is way less powerful than any desktop CPU from the last five years or so. So yeah, really complex pages aimed at desktop browsers (and/or written brainless "developers" who don't give a damn about performance or test on anything except high-end hardware) will be slow.

Tracking Protection can massively improve this. To use it, go to desktop IE, click the Gear icon in the upper right, and then select Manage Add-ons. Go to Tracking Protection (on the left) and select "Get a tracking protection list online" (left side, low). Add whatever lists you like - try to keep the number reasonably low, I only have two and find that EasyList does a pretty good job - to the browser and subscribe to updates (should happen by default). Then, make sure Tracking Protection is enabled (it should be listed under gear -> safety -> tracking protection) and you should see ads go away and performance get much better. You can selectively disable blocking on specific pages by clicking the blue crossed-out-circle that appears in the address bar and turning off tracking protection for that page.

Note that this works on all recent versions of IE; it's nice to browse without ads on your laptop/desktop too.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Gonna say, x86_64 laptop here, useful hint thanks. I prefer chrome but do the odd bit of browsing in IE (got 1 site I visit which wont play nicely with chrome or safari and if there is a link posted on that site then I tend to remain in IE to watch it rather than firing up chrome seperately).
