Nothing was running. I was checking the running apps in the settings before I went to bed. That's why I think it's strange :/

This is maybe a off topic but: Sometimes when I look at the battery tab in "CPU-Z", it says: "Health: Overheat" even if the temperature is normal (around 30* celsius). And other times when the temperature is like 40*c it says "Health: Good". I don't understand that. Does anybody else get the battery health status "Overheat" in CPU-Z, and should I be worried? The phone isn't even warm to the touch when it says "Overheat". Wow, my English sucks sometimes. Hope you can understand.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
you need to look after your battery has been used up not before, it should then be obvious

you know guys I'll bet that the people who don't have any issues are the ones like me that don't install all this stuff that tries to take control of the functions that are best left to the OS - let it do it's job instead of doubling up were it's not needed and will actually work against the OS - get rid of all the utility apps that you think are better controlling you phone

my phone was on 14hrs and used 23% of the battery - tell me I'm doing something wrong
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
I don't understand what you mean with: "you need to look after your battery has been used up not before, it should then be obvious" ?

CPU-Z is not an app that runs in the background and tries to control the functions? I no longer use any task killers or "battery saving" software. At all. I understand that they are bad. Look at my screenshots I posted above, there are only 3 things in the list:

1. 54% Cell standby

2. 41% Phone idle

3. 5% Screen

If there would have been an other app running in the background and draining my battery, it would be in the list(?).
[Xperia Z1 General] Shrugz:
Tried Opera Beta, and wow! Much has happened with this one since my last Android phone. It was utterly **** back on HTC One, laggy and what not. Now its smooth, simple and clean. Will take a look at Boat browser and FF again, did not like them before. But hey, much might have happened over the last 1.5 years :)
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
Amazing! :highfive: I like Opera too.

Tell me what you think about FF and Boat later when you have tried them=)
[Xperia Z1 General] Tizza:
Consistently getting close to six hours on-screen time per charge. (Had the phone for six days now, and I think only once did it fall below five hours.)

Today's usage was almost entirely on minimum brightness, with moderate Facebook usage and light browsing, gaming and video playback (with audio played through the speaker). I think these screenshots show the best stats I've had thus far.

Have to say, it's quite an improvement over my S2. Today, I was out for nine hours and the battery was still at 79%. Granted, I didn't touch it much as I was working, but my S2 would probably have been at around 40% - and that's with the official Samsung extended battery (2,000mAh, Jellybean 4.1.2 stock firmware).

Yesterday, my Z1 was unplugged for 10.5 hours, and only drained to 58%. In comparison, my S2 would've likely only have had 10-15% charge.

(Sadly, I cannot say that I am entirely happy with this phone and that I will keep it, but I am enjoying the battery life, and it will be a shame if indeed I find it not worth the money I forked out for it!)
[Xperia Z1 General] chesterr:
Well Sony always has this problem and specially when it comes to video playback and web browsing.

And I don't think that GSMarena would fake those results, and you need to use the phone calibrate the battery and then eventually you'll get used to the phone and will stop complaining about the battery life :p:p
[Xperia Z1 General] nycdoody:
Initial charge

Hello guys,

I'm getting the phone in the mail tomorrow and I'm super excited.

Before using it for the first time, did you guys charge it all the way up before turning it on? Or did you guys drain out the battery first and then fully charge it?

Please let me know, thanks!! :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
Yes GSM Arena does not fake results, but you have to consider the conditions... when they say 6 hours video playback and 6 hours of web browsing, it is done with brightness at Max... Xperia Z1 at max brightness is really bright almost unusable indoors (its perfect outdoors) and uses a lot of battery... meanwhile other phones like Samsung max brightness is not as bright as sony's so it doesn't use as much battery...

I have no doubt that if the brightness is at 25-40% (normal usable %) battery life will increase 20-30%
[Xperia Z1 General] chesterr:
Yea most probably, I gotta check that out and it's been always a problem to me, and I need to compare with the Galaxy S4 too, :highfive:
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
usually I was advised to drain it first, then over charge it... at least leave it charged for 12 -18 hours.
[Xperia Z1 General] Michealtbh:
It's not necessary with modern batteries, just go ahead and use it.
[Xperia Z1 General] Gitaroo:
I read that from many users of sony phones or other gadgets, the sony battery takes several charge cycle before it reach its peak performance unlike other brand. Thats why sometime you see ppl with experiance of battery turn from bad to good over night. I notice that with their most recent device like the Vita myself.
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
It's no good to charge the battery to 100% and then drain it to zero. The best method for the battery health is to charge it to around 85% and then let it drain to 20% and then charge it again.
[Xperia Z1 General] bartsjunior:
First day battery performance:

89% drained in 4 hrs of constant use gaming (GTA).

Brightness = 50%

Stamina mode on.

Not great. It does charge rapidly though!
[Xperia Z1 General] simonwela:
I would say that's good.

My battery is still "overheating" quite often even though the battery temperature is low (~25-30 degrees celcius) and the phone itself doesn't even feel slightly warm to the touch. I am starting to get worried, and it all doesn't make any sense to me.

If you want to check your battery status and maybe share it with me: Just click on the Call icon on your phone and dial in: *#*#4636#*#* . Then click on Battery information and you will find the rest.. =)
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
gaming are you kidding - your lucky to get 3hrs

gaming is something you do plugged into mains charger and even then the charger may not 100% keep up - very very heavy on battery and the screen will not be the biggest user
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
So far I'm very pleased with the battery, it's about 30% better than my acro s.

I watched a 2 hour movie, then browsed the Web with dolphin for about 3.5 hours, and I had music playing on the background the whole time, then went to bed and still had 23% left which would give me another hour of screen time.

I always got more than 5 hours screen time and my usage are wifi at home/lte outside, browsing, facebook, some hd games, some vid streaming, calls and text.
[Xperia Z1 General] vittogn:

I can't resist to ask!! How can you watch a movie with background music??

no.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nickdroid86:
Is there an app or a way to get Facebook and Dropbox to sync into my built in gallery. I have the apps synced in my accounts, but doesn't seem there's an option to do what I'm looking for?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nickdroid86:
Nobody?????
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Username invalid:
Do you mean something like this? Where it can automatically sync everything in any folder to your Dropbox account.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nickdroid86:
I can't figure out how to use that, but what I'm trying to do is get my drop box and fb photos, in my nexus 7 photo gallery.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nickdroid86:
Anything? I know about the "my album" app, but I want something that Synch's as I go.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bla_laber:
I'm using FolderSync for a similar purpose.

With that App, I can schedule the synchronisation of selected folders from my phone's storage to (in my case) a shared folder in my home network. The same is set up for my Nexus 4. By that, the photo albums on both devices are synced. I guess it should provide the options to sync also your Dropbox files. Give it a try!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nickdroid86:
That sounds awesome, I will try that, thank you!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nickdroid86:
It's kind of confusing.. I set up my drop box account and I can't get it to sync to my gallery..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SimpIe:
I was rooted with an i337M S4 stock, but I reset my flash counter using triangle away then flashed back to stock ROM (therefore removing root) via ODIN, would my flash counter go up again if I flashed a stock ROM via ODIN? I need to return the phone to Samsung for warranty purposes/ There's no real way to check again on the S4 because the flash counter doesn't show in download mode for the S4's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
The flash counter should not go up. Your not doing anything different than Samsung would do to return to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Paulb787:
Hey guys,

I am having a hard time rooting this new s4. Its on vruame7 and I can get it rooted with the exploit following the guide however when i go to goomanger and try to install recovery it does install sucsessfully but when i reboot into recovery it boots into download mode? I have no idea what to do here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
You can't install a custom recovery on me7. The root exploit is all you have right now. Safestrap is in development. Not ready yet. When is ready that is your only option right now on the horizon for a custom recovery and a different rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Paulb787:
Wow!! thats what i needed to know. I have a s4 and it was bought early . this one was for my dad. What happened? the ota? Thats depressing.

thanx 4 the quick response
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Yeah, the OTA. Started rolling out the first of July. Defeated the loki exploit that Can be used on the mdk version. Unfortunate to be sure.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Markino:
Is possible to remove the vibration for the alarms?

Is posible to use mp3 file for the alarms?

Alarms and calendar's notification use the same ring settings?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MegaBaz:
i think vibration can be set in the notification settings, its a simple checkbox.

no about the mp3 alarms, but just play the mp3 on your computer and record it to a wav file using sound recorder, (about 21kbps works well for desent size / quality) its almost as good.

the song that plays for alarms can be set when setting the alarm just click on the little bell icon,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Ok so im on the most current moar rom, and on ktoonsez 5-31 version, and out of no where, my phone shuts down, and when i try to start it, i get the samsung screen, and then the ktoonsez boot screen, and then it shuts off again. My phone was at 80% when this happened. After that i tried plugging it in and it still says 80% but after around 10 seconds, it shuts down again. It also did it in recovery. The second time i tried i was able to delete dalvik and cache just for hells sake and then i was able to full boot, for 1 minute and then it went off again. I tried to reflash my kernel but the recovery will only seem to highlight the zips i press on. Im trying again now. PLEASE HELP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Ok so, weirdest thing is, if i keep pressing the power button over and over my phone will boot but then die 5 seconds after i stop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Someone else will need to confirm this but it sounds like sds. (Sudden Death Syndrom) it has something to do with a bad power button. You may have to flash back to stock then have Sprint fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
If i open up my phone and play with my power button a little think it will fix it?

Edit: Sudden death syndrome on the s3 is when it dies and wont even start to boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Sudden death syndrome is when the phone continuously powers itself off due to a sunken power button. This sounds a lot like that too me, maybe a partially sunken or otherwise faulty power button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Blah.. its not even slightly sunked in but ill open it up and check.. hopfully you guys can stay online >_<
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
yup looks like the defect.. does ANYONE have a suggestion of how to get all my data? i have so many vacation photos etc on my phone. the idiot phone refuses to save half my pictures on my external.. so now im dead in the water D=
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Jiggle the power button, tap it and try blowing some compressed air into the power button area. Some people have had luck with that and have been able to get it running until they got it fixed.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Nothing.. how do i get this returned for a new one if im rooted and on moar? =/ its a triple lose..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Only thing I can say is keep messing with it until maybe you can get it to stay in DL mode and odin stock.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
well i got it up and going for now.. had to open it up and play with it but the power button is the source and its edgy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Unroot and revert to stock if you can't manage to fix it yourself. I'm pretty sure Sprint won't cover it and replace your phone so you'll have to send it to Samsung. I just had a problem with my GS3 where it lost service and could not pass hands free activation regardless of everything I tried, so I brought it in and since it wasn't a hardware issue or manufacturer defect, they were able to replace it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
[MENTION=4372941]ReapersDeath[/MENTION] hey yes you have the power button issue and it is a recall on the s3 cuz samsung that it is a issue and has issued recall on the newest s3's if my memory serves me correct I habe read a news article on this but like everyone esle said flash back to stock unrooted MF9 and return to the sprint they should order you a new one

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatonegirlt:
I am having this EXACT same problem. I am on the same rom and kernal, and this all of a sudden happened yesterday. Can that really be a coincidence?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes absolutely. It has nothing to do with rom or kernel. This is a manufacturer defect with all S3 phones world wide. It's a defective power button. Commonly known as SDS (SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME)

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatonegirlt:
I took apart my phone and the power button didn't appear to be pushed in or anything else. Also, I can get to download mode and it stays on however as long as I leave it. But recovery won't boot and the phone will just bootloop until I take out the battery if I try to turn it on. Is that common with SDS?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes, the power button failure is at the board itself not on the moving button itself. It gets to the boot image and then shuts off and starts again correct?

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatonegirlt:
Yes. I was going to do my usual revert to stock with odin and reflash but then I saw this thread and how it might be a hardware issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Well i find a nice temporary fix, just open it up, and then figit with the power button area after you pop the plastic button off, and then once you get your phone back on, just use the home button to turn the screen off, and then the lock screen toggle in the toggle bar to turn it off. working for now but occasionally get a shut down =/

And i got my s3 in September of last year. Would i qualify for the recall?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
Yea I would think you would buddy my s2 did the samething and had it for a couple of years and they replaced it no questions asked

I have root my E988 using root method described here.

Then I wandering around the hidden menu 3845#*988#,

And I found in LG RCT menu (near bottom of the list)

there is notifications that my phone has rooted.

What's interesting, this status is persistent even when I unroot the phone.

Not sure if it will be gone if I do factory reset or even reflash the original LG ROM.

Does your phone shows similar effect too?

Hope it happens soon. I got 2 Chromecasts still unopened in their boxes sitting inside a Best Buy bag. Don't watch Netflix so they are pretty useless at the moment without local content streaming.
[Google Chromecast] heathroi:
can't happen soon enough.
[Google Chromecast] madsquabbles:
having plex would make this dongle have a use. until then it's sitting in it's box, rooted already of course.

if it wasn't for the netflix credit and the fact i had to use up $5 bb reward, i don't think i'd have gotten the chromcast since i already have a google tv, roku, segate live tv, and wdtv. the only one i really use is the sony google tv on my projector.
[Google Chromecast] PhotoMaster:
I am in total agreement! I also wish it could handle peer to peer, so when I'm in the camper I could go from phone to ChromeCast without using an unknown, unsafe WiFi.
[Google Chromecast] SalTNutz:
Just buy a cheap-o N wireless access point or router and stream that way. Don't have to have internet.
[Google Chromecast] PhotoMaster:
How exactly do you do that?
[Google Chromecast] SalTNutz:
Assuming you are talking about streaming from plex, not the internet, the content is on your laptop right? So get a N WAP or an N router, plug it in in your camper and join its wireless network with both your chromecast and laptop. You won't be able to get to the internet, obviously, but they can then see each other which is the goal, right?
[Google Chromecast] PhotoMaster:
I think, for security sake, I'd want a VPN to protect myself if I'm using their Wi-Fi. Will that work with a VPN?

Scratch my last post. I reread your post.
[Google Chromecast] Shieze:
Why would you need a VPN? Basically you would be setting up your own wireless network which you can use normal security settings and the only devices on it would be yours. The only downside is you will not have access to the internet.
[Google Chromecast] r3dlink13:
I too would love to see Plex support asap, though It appears the original article was a little generous with their "fall" estimate. Still no official word. But the Plex devs usually keep a pretty tight lid on things until they're ready (or able, if Google has them holding it) to release new features.

Release could be hours away, it could be months away. I just know I'll be thrilled when it does arrive.

Thankfully, I can be pretty patient. And having some free Netflix in the meantime doesn't hurt.

Has anyone heard any more intell on a Plex upgrade? It's been a few months and I was just wondering.

Thank you Kisrita,

It sounds good, but the Plex account requirement (and monthly fee) makes it a little less appealing.
[Google Chromecast] PhotoMaster:
Just found an app called Localcast and decided to give it a try. It's available on the Pay Store and it's free. No invasive permissions and it works quite well. Larger photos take a few extra seconds and some videos have some stutter, but over all it's working nicely. I'm sharing this on a couple of sites because I think it's great for getting better use out of our ChromeCast.
