Hi all

How much time does it take for you to fully charge your xperia zl from 0 to 100. Mine takes more than 5 hours. This is unusual. Dining send it for replacement.
[Sony Xperia ZL] alltubetone:
Are you using the wall charger or just through USB on the computer?
[Sony Xperia ZL] einfachgaer:
I use the charger+cable which came with the phone, and it takes like 3-4 hours to charge it completely.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hem.acharya:
I use wall charger I even got a fast charger with 1500mA rating still it takes more than 5 hrs
[Sony Xperia ZL] alltubetone:
Are you using it while it is charging, or do you leave it with the screen off to charge?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hem.acharya:
I have left it without using still it takes 5 plus hours. Tried multiple such combinations
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
After market cable can cause this because it has low amp output, I also faced the same issue if I use 3rd party cable, using original or cable that rated atleast 1amp output will shorten charging time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ijaz90:
I am using Sony ep880 charger and ec450 cable.mine takes 2.5 hrs max.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hem.acharya:
I am using ep850 charger. The cable doesn't specify the rating how do u guys know the rating of cable. However the cable came with y ep850 1500mA charger
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Might be value in testing charging while the phone's actually powered off... (might be some significant power drain from a running app...)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gustavo RD78:
Hello everyone

I also noticed that my device takes a while to load

However I noticed my charger shows the model EP-880 1500mA

I believe that may be a firmware issue

I was using another cable that originally came on my Xperia Mini which are both different models (using was to be longer)

So I started to use the original (Cable Model EC801) and now loads faster

I noticed that the cable Xperia Mini has two boxes (which would be a resistor or something?) In the middle of the cable, and ZQ does not have any of them
[Sony Xperia ZL] mackien95:
What are the specifications of the official Xperia ZL charger as I bought my phone without the charger and I had to buy another Sony charger separately and I don't know if it is the official one or not, if any one can post a picture of the charger, that would be very helpful.
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
ZL charger has 1.5amp output, just search for any charger that has this output or more. You can charge with 1amp charger also but it will take a longer time and ur charger will become too hot once it charge in a longer period. It will shorthen ur charger lifespan.

Other than that, ur cable output capability also play important role, search for atleast 1amp output cable, more amp more good but a bit expensive. Just google the spec of the cable or ask the seller.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hem.acharya:
Guys I confirm that mine was also because of the cable. I took Samsung cable and put it in my charger head. Now the charging is ok

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxwarp79:
I personally believe that the main weakness of the Nexus 5 is battery life. After trying for about a week the official app of Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru (

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app

) without becoming satisfied (I have not found significant improvements, may have only a placebo effect), I switched to Greenify (

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify

) with the Donation Package.

Do some of you use it? Users comments on Play Store seem excited (so I decided to try the paid version).

The paid version also allows you to hibernate the system apps, but I have not enabled this function (and would therefore be excluded almost all Google Apps), according to you should enable this option? Or rather, what are the apps that should hibernate / greenify?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stremax:
I use it, and I'm pretty satisfied, you can theoretically hibernate all the apps you want, but is not good with apps need too synching like emails, chat, messenger and apps wich you have widgets, otherwise they will not work properly
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Han Solo 1:
I'm not sure what the point of Greenify is then. If you can't greenify the apps you need, like Gmail, texts, etc., then how is battery life saved?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
geenify all the other crappily written apps that you install. if you greenify apps like gmail, you wont get your email in a timely manor. there are plenty of other apps that start up without you opening them that can be greenified.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Have you tested that? I haven't but push notifications should wake up Gmail.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxwarp79:
I agree that it's not good with apps with widgets on the home screen because the author of Greenify specify it, but I not agree for apps that need synchronization/notifications like emails, chat, messenger because it they use GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) they can be hibernated without lose push notifications!

I doubt only with system apps...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] td32:
I have greenified quite everything that does not provide notification.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STi_Fanatic:
I use it for Facebook and Netflix, that helped my battery tremendously.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyler.durden:
I used to use Greenify on my HTC One. I'd hibernate everything that wasn't 'system' and thought it was doing some good. Then I discovered that I was actually getting better battery life WITHOUT using it, so I don't really believe that it does any good.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b.spec:
To reiterate what others have said, I use to Greenify to hibernate any apps that aren't pushing me notifications. I'm honestly not sure if I see a huge difference in battery because it could be a number of things from changing ROMs or updating kernels, etc. But one thing for sure is that I'm actually pretty satisfied with the battery life on my N5. With the N4 I would be lucky to last me to dinner, but now I have plenty of battery to spare by the time I'm passing out in bed.

So I guess Greenify can potentially help battery life, but it's definitely not the answer to a magically longer lasting battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Greenify is excellent. But using Greenify without knowing the cause of the problem isn't going to fix anything. Think of it as a bandaid. A bandaid for poorly written (usually intentionally) apps. Facebook comes to mind.

It won't greenify system apps without using Xposed (which doesn't work with ART). These system apps, Gmail, Chrome, Keep (I froze all the other junk Google apps), are actually pretty well behaved these days (they had huge issues in the past).

I think that with KitKat, Greenify has lost some of it's usefulness, with how aggressive KK is in killing off unused apps.

The app you should be downloading is BetterBatteryStats. Upload some logs for us, and most likely we can fix the problem for you. When the cause of the problem is determined, you can then choose the best course of action yourself.

The battery on the N5 is fine. I ran a BBS log while I was sleeping. After 6ish hours, the usage was 0.1% per hour. I would say anywhere between 0.1-0.4 is good. Wifi and mobile network, doesn't matter much if connection is solid.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
anyways, greenify is not there to help battery, its there to have more free ram. but it can potentially help battery if you are running apps that open themselves and drain battery, like that aweful facebook app.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
Had my XDA Exec for a week now and its great until I try and do any thing computer related.....

only managed to get it to sync once and that was just luck, sometimes even when active sync says not connected I can still explore but wont sync but this happened only a couple of times?

the message says:

CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVIES HAVE FAIL TO START, TRY RESETTING THE MOBILE DEVICE, AND CONNET AGAIN.

which i have done loads of time including hard resets!

I had none of these troubles with my ipaq!

Tried:

uninstalling active sync (NOW 4.1)

turning off firewall

soft resets

hard resets

rom update (luckly done it the one time it did sync)

Calling O2 - dead loss tried to get me to call a premium rate number!!

Tried Microsoft’s sync 4 help page - this is when i got it to work the once, i opened properties in networks and checked and uncheck the box's and just seamed to come to life didn’t change any thing??

Tried it since and nothing happens?? Must have some thing to do with this but no luck so far..............

The second problem is TomTom 5 put on sd card put in xda and and it fires up for one second then nothing? Does the same when I open from PDA?

Ahhhhhhhh! its driving me crazy!!!!

sorry to go on but I desperately need help as don’t want to send it back?

Sorry also am I correct in saying you get a 2 week cooling of period with o2 so could send back with in this time and cancel contract?

:(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@glen

did you try to install the latest 4.1 with the firewall switched-off?

What firewall s/w are you using?

(remember to uninstall all previous versions)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
yes already had it running and used with ipaq 2210 and worked spot on!

and as mentioned fire wall is turned off
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
What firewall(s) are you running? I take it that when you say you switched your firewall off you also mean the WIndows firewall as well? What messages do you get when you plug it in? USB device not recognised or something, or does it not react at all?Have you tried trying to connect through Bluetooth, or by using a different USB port on your PC? If so and it still isn't working, there might be a fault in which case return it!

Fin
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
Also, sorry if its a silly question, but you have got at least Outlook 2002 on your PC?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
pretty sure i have willcheck later? whys that?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
It's just that if your device is connected (you can explore it etc) there doesn't appear to be a connection problem, the problem seems to be with synchronization, for which Outlook 2002 (or later) is needed. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I had a similar problem when i tried to sync my Exec to my laptop (which only runs Office 2K) I had to install 2K2 from the disc which came with the Exec and all was fine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ninja12innotts:
At work I get a similar problem.

When I sync with the PC I need to start outlook first before connecting via usb, or else it comes up with an error and only allows me to explore the device.

At home it seems to work ok.

For me at work I think its down to activesync trying to do its thing before outlook has properly loaded.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
i dont think this is the problem as i sure i have the xp pro version but will check when i get home...

but saying that the exec connets fine at work?

but thats windows 2k
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
On mine here are my observations and what I did:

1) I deleted poutlook.ink from the start up folder. This seem to help and at the same time reduces any notification errors after a soft reset which I noticed occurs if I have either sadaemon.ink and poutlook.ink on the start up folder. As of now I only have handymenu.ink in there, a program that I use to launch some system applications.

2) I also noticed that for my computer to recognize my EXEC, I need to plug it in when it is OFF. If I plug it in when it is ON, I get the message device not recognize. If I forgot and plug my EXEC while it is ON, definitely, the message device not recognize appears, so I just disconnect my EXEC from the USB cable. Then turn my device OFF by pressing the power button and plug it back to the USB cable after 10 seconds.

3) Remember not to connect your EXEC immediately via USB cable if you just closed the screen and assume it is already OFF. You have to make sure your EXEC is OFF by turning it OFF using the power button or at least you have exceeded your set time for device activity while on battery power.

4) If however after all these precautions and I still get that message device not recognize, which I seem to experience 1 in 50 tries. I just disconnect my EXEC from the USB cable, make sure I turn it OFF using the power button and plug it back in.

5) I also ONLY experienced this problem to have occured after I upgraded my radio version to 1.06.00. BUT this is a small price to pay for the added benefit of that upgarde.

With these in mind, I always connect without any problems. The message device not connected, I only experience 1 in 50 tries, so I am happy with that.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
checked outlook and i have 2002 sp3, going to try the over thing mentioned
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
tried all those tips and i still get the same message:

CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVIES HAVE FAIL TO START, TRY RESETTING THE MOBILE DEVICE, AND CONNET AGAIN.

which i have done loads of time including hard resets!

I had none of these troubles with my ipaq!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
Is your USB cable plugged directly into your PC? I have had problems syncing before when my device was plugged in through my monitor instead of directly.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glen.C:
Thanks chaps i sorted it at last!!! only took 2 weeks!!!

I am using the same port and I can connect to my pc with no problem. What computer you have? Windows 7 or Win 8? Or Mac? 32bit or 64bit? Did you install Nexus 4 drivers?

Also try enabling debugging mode. Settings > developer options > check USB debugging mode. Then reconnect to your computer.

Use Wug's toolkit and uninstall all the previous drivers as stated in the toolkit's driver installation tab then do a fresh install as the recommended method in it while your phone connected to a different port then you used earlier. This shuld certainly work.

It's possible to write an email or something to HTC to relase the 3D camera drivers for the Evo 3D?

the old HD2 gets the new KitKat and they don't give up.I should we can do something together.I don't know who is capable to relase them drivers but I wanna ask they to do it.Maybe if we letter they it's possible to get the drivers :D
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
There is no polite way to say it, but if you email them, they will very politely say go f*ck yourself, we will not give you anything :D :D

With a big enough petition we MIGHT get them, but that has been tried before and none of them has gotten enough votes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonymuszymus:
so sad :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] VIRGIN KLM:
Actually, there is a way to have alot of chances to archive it or making HTC really pi$$ed off with developer scene.

My idea was to start up a petition that is written in a way that will make HTC feel massive discomfort to the point they will be forced to give an effective answer to the issue, a good one or a really bad one

.

You need to break down the issues and the reason of this petition as this:

1. This petition is done because, while in vague theory they do, technicaly the company does not provide the full sources that can lead to proper builds and this is effectively a GPL violation. (Rough explanation but you get the point)

2. You need to make it clear that your demands have nothing to do with asking the company to bring out a software update to the device and that any such claim or excuse is out of topic.

3. You need to point out that if so many other companies did the right move and released to the public such stuff, even companies that released them after they got defunct, you don't see why HTC wouldn't do it, especialy at a period that their integrity in the market is on trial and their feedback, support and marketing are the key factors that will have the first and the last word if they will survive the pressure.

4. Also emphasize on the fact that since you don't ask actually for a software update which could take hours and money to develop, you don't see the reason why they wouldn't release the drivers for 3D features which is a thing that could take as much as 5 seconds to do so on their dev site.

I want to start a petition for it but people on XDA are really better on these stuff so I wait for someone else with more reputation and experience to do such thing, or atleast a person that I could work on it together. I hope also XDA would spread out the word after the petition is done such it would be a pretty intresting thing to see (apart from the results) in the Android ecosystem.

So anyone with me?
[HTC EVO 3D] paolo-red1:
We tried for our desire to write to HTC (flooding in the end) to release camera drivers to have it properly working with ion, but they answered that they couldn't give US them because they are proprietary (not HTC)

That's a cheap excuse if that's true. They could give you info with who's is responsible for them. It was a tricky answer and to be honest, it wouldn't be the first time they lie about stuff like that, and unfortunately it seems like it wasn't and won't be the last, we are seeing a trend here that needs to end asap.

Even if I press 'Yes - install untrusted zip', I just get a few messages that I can't read, and then "Installation aborted" and phone restarts.

I did some googling and the only thing I found was something about it being unable due to the phone being rooted. And to manually update with signature verification off, but then it didn't really explain how to go about that.
