[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tool Belt:
I am just using the XHIFI with (I think) xA8 with neon. I copied it to /system/app, I did boot to recovery and wiped cache, but the little android dude looked dead and I am not sure it worked. With root explorer I changed the permission to owner read, write execute, then opened the app, update the driver, enabled it under sound.

I did this a bit ago, and I think this is what I did. But given the difficulty people are having I am not interested in uninstalling and trying to document how I re-install. Keep at it, it does make a big difference.

Don't do it, unless you have insurance on the phone. I did this way back when I had a Blackberry for work. Let me just say it did not end well for the phone. Not worth the risk to me. If you find you must do it, keep the phone in your pocket. Don't use a holster either.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcsuser:
I charge the tablet like 3hrs ago, around 5 and 6pm, and its still in 40% ang then suddenly it drops to 39% (still plugged in and charging).

Im just surfing the web and some facebook, most of the time surfing the web. And i keep on killing task (manual kill).

Is my battery already broken?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin_ko:
while charging does the notification light glow ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rozamar:
What do you use to charge?

Big screens need a lot of juice and XTZ is bigger than most.

A PC USB port supplies usually 0.5A, while Sony's charger is 2A... Both can be insufficient to charge the device while in use, but the wall charger might manage it if you only use WiFi + display...but not really sure.

For comparision some tablets even refuse to charge at all from weak sources, like phone charger or PC - the iPad.

Unfortunate Sony doesn't tell if the juice is enough.

I can see you used it most of the time you charged it and the WiFi - is it Facebook the app that's using it so much?

FYI car charger is weak as well usually - 1, 1.5 amps
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasadm:
The Sony charger I have is 1.5 A (UK version). There were lot of comments about slow charging etc and about how a 2A charger charges the XTZ quicker. I installed an app from the play store called "Battery Monitor Widget". I used it to record just the current drawn. I used the Sony Charger and also another 2A charger at various times, the current drawn does not show any higher than 1.1 Amps with either one even while it is in use. So I don't know if the 2A charger really makes a difference. I only charged from 70% to 100% and back. I will check lower values a bit later and post results. However what I did notice was if I use a long cable (to test - longer than 1.5m), then the charging current drops. Use a short cable, or Sony's own cable, the current goes back up suggesting the XTZ port really monitor the charge port.. The Charging current almost always started off with 500 mA +, which is probably why the PC USB port could not charge it; I say probably because the PC I have is quite old and has only USB 2. Anyways, maybe installing the app and keep it running in the background may give you some indications of the charging current drawn..It actually creates a timestamped log file which you can analyse later as well..

In the tool there are options for calibrating the battery etc, but I have not used it, and I do not know how it works and if it works in XTZ. I just monitored the charging current.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasadm:
I did a test by draining the battery to 26%. Then when I start charging, the charging current is shown as ~850 mA. This is with Wifi on, and screen brightness set to Auto.Then when I increase the screen brightness to max, guess what, the charging current is either 0 or shown as discharging, which means the battery won't charge. Brightness set to Auto or low, causes the charging current to go upto 850 and the % charge also increases. Given that the charger is capable of 1.5A and I have seen on occasion 1.1 A being recorded, I am not sure why it charges at constant ~850mA. Possibly due to differences in voltages. This is with Sony Charger (1.5A)

I tried it with a 2A charger, and when the screen brightness is set to max, the charging still takes place although at a very low 100mA. And normal charging shows a current of ~950mA. Which is probably why some people noticed faster charging with a 2A charger as opposed to the Sony supplied one.

In short, if you want to get the tablet to charge properly using Sony Charger, try keeping the screen brightness to low or screen off.

I must qualify the above by saying I am not an expert in chargers.. Just putting down something I noticed..
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcsuser:
Yup its orange that time..

Well, i charge it with the one that came with the XTZ so its the normal charger.

Usually i charge it overnight before i sleep and turned off it just happened that i charged it early and screen is the one eating so much for about 55% next is android os and others are below 10%.

Actually im thinking before it happened i installed some games but as i said others are below 10% so im fine with it

Also im thinking about the current, because when i got my XTZ im in my aunts home and whether i charge it turned off or on it charges fast and when i got back on my apartment then charging becomes slow..
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rozamar:
For all charge you use simply the Sony cable (quite short idd) and their own cable?

I haven't monitored with the app, but I belive the 2a charger I used charges faster. Mind you I,ve never used the XTZ while charging, I spoke from expirience with other tablets.

PS: If you use the cradle you might want to check my other topic - I had issues XTZ refusing to charge when low batt and 2A charger...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GretaLewd:
Charged mine for a while this morning in the Sony dock with power on, wifi on, screen off. Like others, I use an iPad charger (2.1A).

The battery went from 11% to 55% in about 2 hours, so about 22% per hour - though I think it slows down as the % gets higher.

I did search this forum but couldn't find any answers. So after I install CWM using Freegee, how do I boot into CWM using hard key combos? Or it can only be done using an app?
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
With the power off, hold the volume down, home, and power button and when the LG symbol shows up, just let go of home, keep holding vol and power.

Or, DL goo manager or rom toolbox lite, both can boot you into recovery.

I guess that markino would like to know how easily remove a large amount of appointments from the device...and deleting them manually as u suggest it just take AGES :!: :?

Markino, you have to use outlook and click on the Option TAB (is a scrolling menu) > ADVANCED research > then click FIND

and outlook will show all your past and future appoitements that u can easily remove (after a sync obviously)

that's what I call SIMPLE things Jimmy :wink:

[MENTION=3595983]themw[/MENTION]

What were your screen settings? Auto or manual? What level of brightness?

With that type of screen time and usage it looks like 30% longer battery life than my XZ. With similar usage I'd most probably be at 10% or even lower.

[Xperia Z1 General] Wishmaster89:
That's really low. I keep my XZ on auto with almost 50% max brightness, I use such low values only when I'm putting my XZ in work mode when I'm at office.

After reading gsmarena's review of Z1 I'm trying to find proofs that their battery test was either flawed or their test unit was faulty (well it surely was considering that the lens was decentered on their unit) cause it is impossible for Z1 with 30% bigger battery to have lower scores than Z.
[Xperia Z1 General] CLARiiON:
I think the battery results are expected.

Sony itself says 6.6 hours of movie playback.

Results in gsmarena are consistent with what Sony mentioned.
[Xperia Z1 General] theindievisual:
Can someone explain to me how they got the same battery to perform the same on the Z1 as the ZU, when the screen is that much smaller? And why is the G2 SO FAR ahead of the Z1 in web browsing and video playback?

It's the same battery, and the screen is .2in smaller than the G2.

What's sapping the battery so hard in this machine?
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
Yeah it has me confused as well. Doesn't make sense for it to have worse batterylife than the G2.
[Xperia Z1 General] Tizza:
It's the screen technology, methinks. I don't think Sony has found a way to deliver a power-efficient quality screen. I mean, look at the standby times compared to the G2. It's when the screen is on that the Z1 fails miserably.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
it takes at least 2 weeks to condition the battery, it will gradually improve
[Xperia Z1 General] zohaib0001:
As we know xperia Z1 have great backup of battery upto 3000 mah

The battery drains quickly in Xperia Z1 because of its software, Sony needs to improve its software for good battery life.

Or you can wait for custom Roms from other developers who work on it and removed those things that are using more battery......

[Xperia Z1 General] VonPickle:
My first day with the Z1 was pretty good.

13 hours off charge with 3 hours of screen time left me with 10% before I reached for the charger.

That is with 50% brightness.

45 minutes streaming music over 4G.

2 YouTube videos.

30 minutes of gaming (Punch Quest)

The rest of the time taken up with browsing, texts, a few photos and installing the rest of my apps.

I've turned off the optimised backlight option too.

Overall not as good as what people are reporting with the G2 but still better than my old N4.

[Xperia Z1 General] marc_ecko28:
I agree G2 battery life are far better than Z1, I used G2 for 10 days and switch to Z1 because there is no sd slot and only 16gb are released here in ME. Installed 2 games, asphalt 8 and modern combat and a few mp3 albums and only 4gb left on my 10.50gb storage.

I learned that G2 used 2590mah battery and 410mah battery on top of it so that makes it 3000.

I also missed that knock to wake that sometimes I tap my z1 to open the screen :eek: and the volume and power button is very easy to access plus the customization.

Where I live the g2 is 200€ cheaper than the Z1, but I would never buy one because no SD card slot and non premium build quality is a deal-breaker for me, not to mention the touchwiz looking UI. It's nice that it works out for you but for a lot of people there's more than just battery life, besides the Z1 easily manages to get more than 1 day. Each to their own I guess.

Im using Z1 now but hands down to G2 for battey life. G2 plastic is not comparable to Samsung galaxy series. G2 also looks premium and very solid in plastic.

If the korean version with sd slot will be available here I will surely switch again to G2 as smartphone with beast hardware and LTE connectivity should have expandable storage to maximize the use of it.

BTW...

This is not a thread for comparing G2 and Z1 battery life as it stated in the title that its Z1 battery life.

:D
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Not battery related, but how do you rate the G2 camera compared to the Z1? Still wanting to try a G2 as well, but hear it kinda sucks (unless having great light)... Other main points after switching?

Btw, as long as last at least 1 day easily with proper usage and 2 days with light usage I'm fine, and the Z1 does that for me. Sure, it's nice if the G2 lasts for 4 days or something, but that;s more the exception then the rule and certainly not something I'd expect in a smartphone (or demand).
