[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Yes google play services is for some reason always searching for network location (not gps). I think that it's parsing it to google now (launcher) which is requesting the current location 24/7. I recommend disabling location access for gapps and on google now enable weather only for home (if you use google now)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Thanks. I don't use google now, but I use network location with eg. foursquare. But I will be fine without it for a few days unti it gets fixed I guess. :P

Btw. I saw multiple times here that app ops recommendation from play store. Does it mean that the built-in is not working? I tried it and it showed that it denied that permissions which I disabled. Is it a fake feedback then?

And I also wanted to ask 2 more little things for a long time ago:

1) What is that /boot partition in the recovery, what is it for? Does it contain the boot.img (kernel?) parts or what? And should/can we format it, when we format /system to make abs. sure about a clean start. :P I don't remember if I have seen it before CM11.

2) I always see that recovery flashes the boot.img when I flash a new CM zip. Does it mean that no more need to flash separately the boot.img (eg. via fastboot) before flashing a new ROM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
To 1: have the same question in my mind the whole time

To 2: yes, you dont need to flash it separately, its flashed with the Rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
AppOps: The app from the play store is only launching the built-in app ops, because on CM there is no way to access them unlike omni.

Boot partition: There are a few main partitions on your device: /system (ROM, the thing that gets overwritten when you flash a ROM from recovery), /data (where all your app and their data is stored. There are also some system settings and other stuff), /sdcard0 (your internal storage) and /boot which is the actual kernel (and on custom ROMs also contains the recovery). On newer devices CWM can back up that partition, so that you don't have to reflash a kernel manually each time you restore a backup.

kernel from zip: as rob already said, the ROM's zip is also flashing the boot.img (which is the kernel) to the /boot partition mentioned above. This way you don't have to use fastboot to flash the kernel, but only flash the zip in recovery. This wasn't possible on older phones, but some people are still used to the old way and might tell you to use fastboot, but I assure you that (almost) every custom ROM for the V will flash the kernel automatically.

PS. Denied in app ops means that it stopped the app from accessing that permission without the app crashing
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
AppOps: And what about Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard > Long tap on the app you want to modify OR > Menu - Advanced? I can access it from there for weeks/months already, without any 3rd party app. :P

Others: Just like I thought, Thanks for the detailed explanation. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dyfk3l:
[MENTION=4762739]banciii[/MENTION]: Exactly, no need for App Ops.

BTW: If you're looking for a good STAMINA replacement, check this simple & great app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743316

Exactly what we were used to: Disabling connections at locking display, re-enabling at unlocking display. Even with timed automatical wake-ups.

There might be apps in the store with the same functions (unfortunately my purchased DS Battery Saver can't handle mobile data on 4.4.3), but they're all overloaded with useless stuff, advertising and so on. Not this one - only one one UI-page with the essentials. A widget for one-klick is planned, too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Lol thank you very much, didn't even know you can do that :D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Just a little reminder:

Now that we have the 4.3 kernel and a much more stable cm nightly build. CM-team may push a Milestone build pretty soon :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:

Facebook messenger and Facebook is crashing every time I open a conversation. First I thought it's app related, but I tried reinstalling, wiping data, updating to latest nightly and then googled if anybody had the same problem, but didn't find anything. So I guess it's ROM related, so does anybody else have this problem?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Not here. Have you tried wiping data and reinstalling again?

Location / GPS

I made lots of tests arround Deep Sleep in the last couple of days. Only when disabling wakelock of the Google Play services the Deep Sleep will come - but then very reliable, making battery life much longer. Important - reboot is required (in the beginning I didn't reboot and was frustrated the settings didn't have an effect...). Also I now think that the edition of the Google Apps is not important (small, standard). I even changed to the latest version of Banks Google Apps, but still same behavior. Switching location services off (Settings -> Location) didn't help as well. I am on the latest nightly.

I also tried switching to Art - no effect on Deep Sleep (but besides of this running very nicely).

So in my opinion the only two points are now this:

- manual setting of 'not allowed' for wakelock of Google Play Services required for Deep Sleep

- it takes now ages (if working at all) until my devices gets a fixing for the location outside, sitting under clear sky. No matter if location via GPS or Network / WLAN. Am I the only one with this issue? A week ago location fixing worked fine - but then the Deep Sleep testing started on my side - I hope I did not change some well-hidden setting which I don't remember now...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
confirm this too gps not working since 20 june nightly...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
However, tweaking the gps.conf file and adding a ntp server for my geographic area did solve the problem, in my case.

I also enabled Intermediate location reporting (1 instead of 0) and changed from 5000 to 0 (pass all) to accuracy.

Now TTFF is back to <1min and accuracy is between 4-6meters.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
My GPS locating (in Device only mode) is working perfectly with the original gps.conf.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tulen_kobi:
I have disabled wakelock for Google play services and Google services using App ops and it helps, my phone is not loosing battery on standby anymore. ( I am on art, so I could not use xposed for this )

The battery life when the phone is on is certainly shorter, but not 4 hours.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] francescohtc:
I use the phone a lot mate, but i've disabled the 3g connection to save battery at 40% after 3 hours of use because i had necessity to use the gps with navigon later, after 1 hour without use the phone was at 8% total 4 hours it was an Odissey Yesterday.

Hope today it will work better, i noticed that in wi-fi i got 6-7 hours battery.

But under 3g it's too short for me...

i got 14% used by "Android System" and "13% by media server" and "10 by google services" after another voice "7% by Android System"

It's really strange.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tulen_kobi:
Google services causes lots of wakelocks, that is why I have disabled it. I am playing ingress, that is also very battery consuming but my battery life even with 3G enabled is not that bad. Aproxim 8 hours.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Hello all,

I have looked into the battery drain matter using Android Tuner.

The biggest hog is the bookmarks sync service.

I freezed the stock browser and uninstalled the sync service...the drain is completely gone.

I use Chrome as my browser so the bookmarks are always synchronized.

The test was done with permanent 3G on, using ART.

I hope this will help.

Best regards.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] francescohtc:
thanks mate what o you mean for sync service?

How i can uninstall it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Hello,

I am referring to com.google.android.syncadapters.bookmarks.apk

This was the main power consumer in my case so I simply uninstalled it using Android Tuner.

Titanium Backup will allow you to do this operation as well. Or simply use a file explorer to remove it manually from /system/app

Then I 'freezed' the stock browser - same as using the 'disable' option from settings - applications, now the problem is solved:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] francescohtc:
i've disabled android stock browser from APP in the settings menu, and in titanium i can't find that process, maybe it's related to stock browser.

Battery Drain now is more quiet, but is still here and in 3G the phone gets hot, yesterday in just one hour with normal use the phone went from 88% to 66%...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Earlier, I noticed only a very few blue reboot. Apart from that, it is quite stable, smooth and fast. And with ART, I got 0,1% battery drain in deep sleep, which is quite amazing. :)

[I changed back to 10.2, because cm11 is still missing a lot of very useful (cm) features and translations and also a lot of apps are not compatible with ART yet (which is absolutely understandable in this phase, so there is nothing to complain about).]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
When you flash this Rom the kernel gets installed automatically. Art isn't working for some apps. Tsubasa is the codename for the LT25i

ART

Btw. do you have less free space with ART? I have been using Dalvik since the kernel update and everything was fine. I installed quite a lot apps, about 60 and used donated Greenify with Xposed. I got ~2,5%/hour battery drain with connected WiFi. After a few weeks, I wanted to try ART, but after I changed, everything started to FC right after the start (trebuchet, gapps, core, phone) and I also got notified about low free space (which I guess related to the FCs). So I made a clean install, wiped everything and format /system then reinstall 0626 nightly with 0606 gapps (then removed a few (g)apps from /system/apps, about 15). Now I could not restore all of my apps because of low free space, so I had to assort my apps and I installed about 45 apps. (I also tried to move some bigger apps to the SD card with the system, but because of Trebuchet is still very buggy, my SD card apps' icons always disappeard after reboots, so I rather choosed sorting.) After a lot of restore, now it looks like everything works fine again with ~300MB free internal space. I did not reinstall Greenify, but now I have only a 0,8%/hour battery drain (with the same chat apps [messenger, viber, whatsupp, skype, facebook] and other stuff wich were running in the background before with Dalvik), so I am quite satisfied with ART so far. It doesn't feel faster or smoother, or maybe a very very little. GPS location is working (it finds the signal even inside the house - yes, slower and waker, but still finds it) and network location is not at all, just like before. The high accuracy/energy saving location mode is still "deep sleep killer", but we already know that this caused by google (play) services.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
Good news.next cm nightly solves google services wakelocks!!!yeaaaaa

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Not fixed. Awake 100%. Back to device only mode.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
I even did a factory reset and also installed the latest version of the simple GApps - but both big topics (at least for me) are still there: no location detection based on network / WLAN and the Deep Sleep. Besides that it is running really great on ART for me, with lots of free memory.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Yes, network location is still not working. Change the location settings to Device only (GPS only) and reboot. After this, your phone will go into deep sleep again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:

Will the kernel also be part oft cm (like here http://www.cmxlog.com/11/tsubasa/, available and installable as nightlies?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Yes kernels are integrated in the rom. There are currently no custom kernels so you don't have to worry about flashing it manually. Wakelocks regarding google play services 5 should be fixed from today on and network location has been working perfectly fine since the first nightly as far as I know.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
I have google PS 5 but my phone is still unable to go into deep sleep if Energy saving or High accuracy location mode is active. Map apps also can't find my location without GPS, so the network location is also not working for a few weeks now. :-\ But shortly we'll see what's the situatuion with the new kernel. It should give better perfomance, battery life and more stability. *crossed fingers* x1000
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
Thanks for the answer, really great to see all the efforts!

Some days ago i even did a fresh install to rule out wrong settings from me. But no network based location...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Google ps is still keeping a wakelock when you have network location active. That isn't fixed yet. There was, or better to say is on carbon, a bug where google ps would take a wakelock ignoring whatever you do to prevent it.

For the location bug, I have it too. I'm playing ingress and it wont find my location over gps unless network location is active, but once it has a fix on me it's quite accurate (even though I'm in between high buildings). I haven't tried disabling network location while I have a fix, but I will try.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
I feel as if I'm the only one experiencing this, but along with mobile location, my GPS doesn't pick anything up, maybe I've corrupted a file during a flash or something, went through a phase of flashing earlier builds of cm11 over later ones, due to the lack of mobile signal we had earlier on.
