[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
I just found another painful bug....this one is related to charging (battery). I normally put my qtek on charge all through the night when I go to bed. For the last 4-5 days I have been unplugging the device when it showed 100% charge, put it on standby (no wifi,btooth,gsm etc.) and made sure there were no applications running. I usually leave it in the standby state for 2 hours while I finish my morning exercise.

whenever I return, I see a power loss of 20%!! I was shocked to see how I could loose 20% in 2 hours ith my device on standby mode. this time, I even made sure I pressed the power button before I closed the lid, and still...no luck :-( I still lost 19%

I guess the problem is, when the charger is connected and the battery gets completely charged, it stops charging further. I guess it reaches a fully charged state within 2 hours, and the battery starts to drain all through the night...and wm5/htc don't start charging once again when the levels go down....i'll have to do a cuple more tests until I can totally confirm that this is the bug...until then, are anyone of you guys experiencing the same problems?

Another thing I forgot to mention, once again I charge my battery from 80% to 100%, and it lasts through the entire day(12 hrs) and drops to only 40% with highhh usage (bluetooth ON throughout, gsm on with 3hrs talktime, and some light gprs usage). so it really is not a problem of my battery as I see it!

Cheers,

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DaleReeck:
Hmmm. I hate to say, but I don't see that problem. But I do have the unlocked JasJar Universal from HTC, not the qtek. If this happens with other qtecs, maybe they load a custom software that is acting up. In fact, I could leave the device on for two straight hours off a 100% charge and I don't think I'd lose 20% unless the phone was on too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
have you tried charging your device for well over two hours before unplugging? (around 8-9 hours of charging for instance?)

I don't really think it has anything to do with the qtek rom/device. the qtek rom has the least ammt of customisations on it...

I still suspect that the charging process halts and it starts to drain the battery....but the os doesn't reinitiate the charging process once again....hmm

I'll have to wait till tomm before I can do another round of checking....tomm, I want to charge it....and before I unplug, I'd remove the battery and put it back and see what it indicates...I suspect that the power would have already dropped to ~80% by then...that's the only explanation I can think of at the moment....

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hdubli:
Hi Dreamtheater!!!

I exactly follow you as far as charging is concerned and I hv a Jasjar....just to inform you...I started charging yesterday at 11.30 PM and just got up to see the charge..it is 100%...no power loss...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
it shows 100% for me too...but in just 2 hrs, it drops to 80% which is weird! from then on, it drains normally...

I still need some time to nail the exact cause for the problem...hmm!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CL55:
Hey dreamtheater, I charge my Exec overnite everynite just like you. Usually at least 7 to 8 hrs everynite, but I have yet to experience what you mentioned here. My Exec always start fresh from 100% and by the time I get home at nite, it will drop to about 70% so no, I'm not getting the batt drain issue like you do..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alese:
I did not experience any such behaviour with my Qtek. It charged fine over night and had 100% battery when unpluged.

Are you sure your's does not wake up for some reason after you suspend it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Dreamtheatre, I charged my XDA Exec overnight (7 hrs) and after 2 hrs with GSM/UMTS radio on the unit lost 5% battery charge.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
@DT,

You need to set the device to switch off after a specified time interval. This can be done by going to start>settings>battery>advanced and check the device timeout box. I usually set it to 1 minute.

Last night i was browsing on my JJ and fell asleep while doing so, IE and notes and inbox applications were still open. When i started, the battery level was 93%, i browsed for about 10 minutes over Wifi before i fell asleep. The device shut itself off and when i woke up the battery level was 82% which is prportionate to my 10 min WiFi use and probably 1 minute standby time before it shut itself off.

Try it out, i'm sure you will stop seeing the massive battery drain :)

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Another thing. Contraty to what people think, keeping the universal's battery topped off improves battery life. Prevent it from dropping all the way to say 30% or so. You will notice the difference in battery life in just about a week or so :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Another source of battery drainage i've found is when i'm charging my Exec from the USB connection on my PC - If I leave my Exec connected and put my PC into standby, it will literally suck the life out of the battery over the course of a few hours!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
I think some of you have got me wrong...let me restate the problem...

I charge all night

Wake up with 100% charge

Pull off the charger

Leave it on standby for ~2 hrs (no apps running, gsm, wifi, all off)

Come back, and find a ~20% drop

Back to my findings now.......

Another morning, no luck :-(

It had 100% charge...I pulled off the battery, put it back in and restarted....still showed 100%, so I guess it really was fully charged after all. This time I turned off receive incoming beams as well....left it for a couple hours, and was disappointed to see 82% when I got back :-(

However, through the day I get excellent battery life....all day's use ends up consuming roughly 30-40% charge which is excellent compared to my prev xda2 which would comparitively loose all of it by eod. I guess if I park my device in flight mode it tends to start draining quickly....now that's my only available reason or cause that I can think of....

tomm I guess I won't put the device on flight mode and leave it just On instead. This is weird because its just me having this problem :-(

San

PS: I'm using the regular ac charger itself for charging...hmm
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
DT, I disabled PowerSave and switched off the GSM/UMTS radio on my Exec. After about 8 hours I had lost about 30% charge. So your 20% does seem high. It could just be the battery as loss of charge is not linear. Why not let it drop to say 60% and then do your test again. By the way there spare batteries seem to be available now for the Universal.

I'm signed-up with NET10 wireless. Their APN settings website does not have setup instructions for kitkat yet. So I'm going by the instructions they have for 4.1. The instructions ask to enter a value for MMS_APN. but there is no field in APN Settings for that. Any ideas?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbuff123:
Hi guys.. I searched around and couldn't get find a solution.. hence the post.. apologies in advance if I'm asking a stupid question/already answered question. I'm visiting xda after a couple of years so haven't really kept up with the happenings...

Anyways.. here is my predicament.

1. I originally had an iphone 4s on AT&T.. which means LTE wasn't "activated" on the data plan.

2. I bought a sony xperia Z1 C6906.. which from what I understand is compatible with AT&T LTE bands

3. I called AT&T and they registered the xperia's IMEI and the new sim I put into it. However, they said it only showed up a generic gsm phone.. and they weren't sure if the new IMEI for a "non-ATT phone" would actually kick me into "LTE allowed" plan. For those who don't know, when you buy a phone from AT&T.. they automatically allocate a "type" of data plan and it is non-LTE if the phone you get is a non-LTE device.. (like the iphone 4s I had).

4. Anyway.. so I'm getting HSPA+.. I have the default apn settings that the phone automatically downloaded. Not getting LTE at all.

5. I put the sim from my friend's ATT LTE phone.. and LTE popped up on the status bar.. no issues.. so I know the hardware is good.

6. Are there any apn settings that is customized for the xperia z1 C6906 that'll get me LTE? What are my solutions here?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmlee915:
I'm was in a similar boat as you here. Here's what I had to do to get LTE provisioned on my account.

1. Get an IMEI number for an at&t LTE phone (I used a note 2 from an at&t store)

2. Call at&t and switch your IMEI

3. They should now be able to provision your account with LTE

Funny thing is when I called at&t with my C6906 Z1's IMEI, they said it was coming up as a blackberry without LTE. I told him to leave the old Note 2 IMEI in there.

You can find apn settings by doing a quick search, but you need to have it provisioned first.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbuff123:
Thank you for your response. I have a few more questions..

1. say if I use my friend's IMEI ..of a phone that is currently ON AT&T.. will that affect his line in any bad way? Are IMEIs tied to an account? can there be 2 different lines with the same IMEI on them?

2. Also.. does the phone whose IMEI I would be using.. have to be physically with me? (meaning will it only get "accepted" into the AT&T system after I've put my sim into it and rebooted the phone or something?)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksoze:
I feel sorry for all you AT&T folks - that is the most convoluted and time consuming method I've seen to get LTE working...

I thought Rogers up in Canada is bad, but after reading your solution, I guess we Canadians should be thankful. For us, as long as both the SIM and Phone support LTE, it should work. Rogers used to charge extra for LTE service - not sure if they still do. (I am with Telus)

Canadian carriers don't really care about the phone at all - unless its been stolen of course. And carrier locking...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbuff123:
got it to work finally!.. yea.. had to get an original AT&T sanctioned LTE phone's IMEI number.. and then the sim could be used into sony xperia with LTE... whew!

this obviously is not a situation someone who already has AT&T LTE will face.. only applicable to those who are going from non-LTE phones to Sony Xperia.

Thanks y'all.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] mjs2011:
I'm assuming this will work on Sprint. If not there's a fix in both flashable zip form and a commit devs can use to get it working.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Carbajal3009:
I don't understand what the problem is with sprint. The nexus 5 is an unlocked phone. But why are we having issues with some ROMs? :confused: is it APN related?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mjs2011:
Yeah on AOSP based Roms, there's an extra commit that the devs need to include to get data to work on Sprint. I'm guessing in a couple weeks this won't be an issue as most of if not all Roms will have the fix included.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
No ART right? Yep.. only kernel that'll work with CM-based ROMs are stock or bricked kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Constrabus:
Make sure you are doing wipe BEFORE and not AFTER the flash (Wipe, flash, boot. NOT wipe, flash, wipe, boot). Check to make sure your IMEI is in place. If it is, confirm your APN settings. If it's not, that's a different story.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Michealtbh:
Just tried with Faux kernel, endless boot animation

You have the same problem? Also a factory reset, does not fix it... The wizard in first cm-configuration seems also to be brocken! Is this setting a rom- or gapps-problem (using pa-mini-modular package)?

EDIT: Dont uncheck first option! This will delete all data stored on the servers (as said in the message box) and on other devices, that are connected to the same account! Grmpfl.. Yes i know.. Im stupid, but i wanted to check if this would fix it.

Then you aren't using PA full gapps. I flash the rom and that's it and don't have any Google apps when it boots. What's weird is that when I boot recovery and flash gapps, they reappear...... Do you wipe cache and dalvik before and after a flash? Like I said I'm not too worried about it. The so called fix doesn't work properly so I just flash ROM and gapps and have no issues. I just hope the real issue gets ironed out in the near future. You can't expect perfect in a nightly right?

Copied the name of the file from my internal storage, and tested again to be sure. I don't wipe anything unless I flash a new ROM. There must be something going wrong if this is an issue for you. Are you sure you have the most recent full version and the most recent version of whatever recovery you use? Maybe it was just a bad download or something. But the feature definitely works now.

AOSP Keyboard

When will the AOSP Keyboard Gesture typing be fixed? It force closes every time I try to use it in a gesture/swype type mode.

I LOATHE the Google Keyboard from the market, because it doesn't have the quick access special characters. For instance, to type an ! on the AOSP keyboard, I can long-press z. To do the same with the nearly identical Google Keyboard, I have to long press . and move my finger to the !, which is slightly less convenient, but I don't think "Use the Google Keyboard" is an adequate solution, when there's clearly just a bug in the AOSP keyboard in this build of Android.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fleischbanane:
I use pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126-signed.zip and have no problems with gesture typing.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] itzdarc:
Yeah -- the full PA gapps package notes on its thread that it REPLACES the AOSP keyboard with Google Keyboard from the market that I noted I dislike in my previous post. To see which one you have, can you long-press z to get an exclamation point?

AOSP Keyboard, where gesture-typing crashes (notice the long-press key shortcuts): http://i.imgur.com/4xH91EK.png

Google Keyboard, where gesture-typing is fine (notice the lack of long-press key shortcuts): http://i.imgur.com/g5yyIIc.png

Side-by-Side Comparison: http://i.imgur.com/c0yukNy.png

Switcher: http://i.imgur.com/PkKEmNf.png

I got these by NOT using the "full" PA package - I used the modular mini one that doesn't replace the AOSP keyboard, which means the built-in AOSP keyboard has a bug that needs to be fixed in the base ROM that most people that use the full PA gapps aren't seeing - because it is being replaced.
