[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] play2lose:
I've had the Xperia Z Ultra for 2 days now...and I was a bit scared about the battery life after reading some professional reviews online, it didn't seem to measure up even to smaller phones like the Galaxy S4 or HTC One etc, let alone the Note 2.

I can say without a doubt that this is the best battery life I've had with a phone ASIDE from the Note 2...but it's almost as good. I'm getting 4+ hours screen on time (Which I never hit with my GS4, HTC One, HTC One X, GS3, Note 1) and I'm guessing the battery life will get even better because I've been benchmarking and gaming a lot more than often, also I have the brightness pretty high (60-80%) where I would keep it much lower on all those other phones.

I've posted this a few times on here before already...but I really just can't get over the fact they have this huge premium high end device and put an old crappy 8MP camera in. It's still worth it for everything else the phone offers, but I just don't understand why they did it when surely it couldn't have been too much more to put the Xperia Z's 13mp sensor in...plus a flash ;)

This is the only reason I'm already looking forward to the Xperia Z Ultra1 lol. Keep the phone exactly how it is, add an awesome camera + flash, and whatever high end processor is out at the time...and I'll be buying the Xperia Z Ultra1 next year if that's a thing. :victory:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hpdroid:
Been using nova for 3 days now.

And i can confirm that it still got same battery life when using stock launcher.

So, i'm back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xtraviolent:
Posted this in another thread but I see now that this is the battery thread ;)

I managed to nail down getting the phone to enter deep sleep without being interrupted.

Went to sleep last night at 99% unplugged and when I almost 8 hours later, it stayed at 99%. (0.1% / hour)

I'm also a fairly heavy user browsing throughout the day and I get over 6 hours of screen on time consistently.

- Non-LTE version

- Wifi GPS on

- Apex Launcher

- I don't use any SNS so I've disabled every SNS related process (Twitter, Facebook mainly) and also disabled Chrome since I heard that they drain battery quite a lot (I use Boat browser).

- Disabled Sony bloatwares such as the Sony Lounge, Sony Select etc but rest were untouched.

For the first 4 days of using the phone I charged overnight to 100% till right down at least 5% before going to sleep and I think that helped calibrating the battery life as I've noticed my screen on time increased by around 30 minutes each day. I only used to get 4 hours of screen on time at first now I get 6.

1000% AGREE.... :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
After trying a bit with the new 526, I just decided to do a total facelift inside my zu.

So I installed nova (and tried action, but prefer nova), uccw, and xposed+modules as the main tools. And omg tablet ui on chrome is gorgeous.. Won't be going back to stock launcher, too. Forever.

So.. Those exhausting process (my first time using all those apps) depleted my battery twice in a day. Screen on time on each cycle is around 4-5 hours, mostly fiddling w/ uccw and browsing in chrome. Many reboot, which depleted the batteries very quickly, and I dare say my battery life gets better.

Problem is, I don't know whether it's because of nova or the new 526's kernel :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
Does anyone have a rough estimate for battery life when watching 1080p high bitrate videos in airplane mode on say 50% brightness?

I travel on planes a lot and watching films on long flights is the main reason for getting this phone but seeing sonys video runtime estimate of 5 hrs isn't great. Just wondered whether it's likely to be more than that with the new firmware and after the battery is run in?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
GSM Arena's review said they got very close to 9 hours before it dropped to 10%. Brightness may not have been quite 50%, though.

Edit: Turns out they do set brightness at 50%: http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p6.php

Video rundown time was 8 hours 45 minutes: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z_ultra-review-975p3.php
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
Thanks for that link. Seems like they felt battery life was disappointing aside from standby time. I primarily want to be able to use the web and watch movies on long commutes and flights so I guess this is not really the phone for me despite the awesome screen! Will go for my second choice of the lg g2.

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Shouldn't you really go with a device with a replaceable battery and get a high capasity battery? (like Mugen)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
Probably! Just don't like carrying around extra parts and just wanted the best balance between native battery life and screen size. The Z ultra is very tempting but having just read around a bit and seen figures of 5 hours for web browsing and around the same for HD video playback is probably too much of a compromise. The G2 does much better and still has a reasonable screen size so is better for what I need I think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Obviously, get whatever phone you want, I am in no way trying to influence your decision, but I don't see how 8 hours and 45 minutes is "about the same" as 5 hours. It's 75% longer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
It was more that I'm guessing that's what I'd get with 1080p high bitrate video. The video gsmarena used was standard def and their rating of 11 hours for the s4 which I have is more like 7 or 8 hours in the real world using very high quality videos.

Anyway you don't need to get defensive - I went to town today and played with a z ultra and it's awesome!! So I'm getting one and will just take a portable battery backpack on flights!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
I'm not being defensive, I just didn't understand your logic. I do now.

Poking a needle in would only peirce the diaphram which in turn would only muffle it

The only true way to disable it would be to open your nook and cut the wires if there is no wires then you could desolder the mic

Also if you are worried that the nsa are tracking you then disable all external access including internet, sell your phone and your car and anything else you need to put a name or address to

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mr_JacobClutch:
I am using Carbon ROM 4.3 with Chronic kernal. The settings were at a min of ~1700mhz and a max of ~2200mhz. Before i set this I let the cpu temp cool to about 23 degrees Celsius. I then set the cpu governor to performance. Then I started running AnTuTu benchmark ver4. After the cpu integer test the cpu froze up. I was cooling my phone using a freezer with the phone on a paper towel which was on a bag of ice. The CPU crashed at the CPU float point test.

After another test I found that my CPU becomes unstable after 2160mhz.

The settings for the posted benchmark were CPU Min at 1674mhz and CPU Max at 2160mhz with the governor set at performance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cloaker:
The minimum freq is mute when the gov is performance. Performance just keeps the cpu at the MAX freq.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
What he said. :)

Also you can just put the phone in the freezer for a while and let it cool way way down and then run the test while leaving it in the freezer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mr_JacobClutch:
I am aware of this. I did have it in the freezer until it cooled down enough. The problem was not overheating, it was the CPU becoming unstable at full load with the processor being overclocked. The phone was still cold but it went to a reboot or just turned off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Gotcha. I missed that part. I wasn't fully awake yet at 4:30am. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxys3man30:
Ok buddy here is your issue buddy its all about volts and throttle limits ive been fine tuning oc steps on antutu, cf bench, geekbench2 and geekbench3. Im stable all the way up to 2106 so far I use ktoonzs kernel cuz it has more options in his app the control alot of the throttling and volts. Ok understanding what it means what the phone just shuts off or reboots when the phone shuts off and wont cut back on you either have to do pull the battery out or plug the charger in to get the phone to boot up that means you had a power overload it drawed to much power on the battery which means you neesd to drop volts on your max step. Now if the phone is just rebooting or if the app FC back to the home screen that means that you dont have enough volts for your max step you only have to add or substract volts on that one step not on the whole board the best way to do this is just by finding your volts for that max step first yes scores will be low but once you find the volts then you start adjusting the throttle limits that way you can control the heat of the cpu but once you find the sweet spot of that oc step move to the next one and start over again for the next oc step doing the steps I listed above I will post pics of what I gotten so far. On a further note I have found that the freezer trick hurts you more then gaining anything cuz if you cool the cpu and battery to much it will make the cpu run sluggish cuz its to cold to run and if the battery is to cold it makes the phone think it dont have enough power to run on that oc step and makes the phone reboot so bare in mine the freezer isnt always the best way to do this I found that if the battery is below 28c it will reboot the phone during benching and if the cpu is below 25c it sluggish as hell the best app to use is cool tool on the app store if you use kt kernel I can give you the direct path to monitor cpu temp like his app does hope this helps you understand alil better of whats going on if you need anymore info just pm me

Hi

Anyone any ideas as to whether tomtom3 which I have running happily on my 2i using 2003se will work when loaded onto the new o2 Exec using windows mobile 2005? Need to know before I decide to upgrade or stick with 2i........also any ideas if the port connector and the bottom of the 2i is different to the exec, again that changes the car kit connector too!! ahhhhhh!

Thanks all

Also, does anyone know if there are any ROMS or apps for the a500 that support side-by-side window placements?
