I was trying to avoid installing/using a virtual machine with Windows 7 or Linux. But I know those options will work, however, I'm trying to use it within my current setup. I have already disabled the Driver Verification thing.

well if your PC CPU does not support vt-x like mine then install LXDE on a virtual drive and run it....you may even be able to run linux off a usb and do it from there....sony and microsoft are having issues and so sony software does not work on 8 here is a form about it http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/win-81-does-not-support-sony-pc-companion-as-well/62fdf4ee-1421-4e49-85ae-c2ee8a5dc6ec

If anyone is experiencing this problem, I hope the following steps may help.

I would like to express my appreciation to XDA members, who have commended and helped out with this. Credits go to [MENTION=655433]LordManhattan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4742570]abuihsan[/MENTION] . Many thanks for your help.

1/ Do a re-flash: I always thought my device was a c6802, after I flashed c6833, it helped.

2/ Do a factory reset/ Cache wipe/ Dalvik Wipe/ in recovery or in the phone settings.

3/ Install SD-Maid and clean the mess from the programs, also take a look at APPCONTROL to see which is running. You can freeze it here.

4/ Install Performance control to Underclock your CPU. Believe me, 1.7Ghz is far too enough for all the tasks you need.

5/ Use more pwerful tool, like Titanium Backup to stop all the backgound-running apps. You just need to leave the one which were in GREEN color.

6/ Use Wakelock Detector to see which apps get your phone out of deepsleep. Mostly they are Facebook and Messenger. My advice: Disable Facebook notice and if you don't use chat quite often, don't install facebook messenger.

Hope these help.

Personally I had tried a lot of methods, including checking the processes and re-insert the memory card but no such helps. Therefore, if you need any advice or any comments, feel free to send me an PM or reply here, I will gladly help you out, like what the community had helped me our of my situation.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fjevel:
Sounds like somethings has gone wrong in the update process.

Have you tried backing up all your data and doing a factory reset?

I do not think clearing Dalvik will help you here, sounds like something else is acting up. You could try to install one of the apps designed to detect what is causing the wakelock.

I'm not at my Android tablet at the moment, but I think I used this when I had this problems myself on my Galaxy Note: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
First of all, thanks for your reply and suggestion.

I had tried to flash the roms multiple times, but the problem still exists. Furthermore, I even flash back to 4.2.2 and the problem is still there. The phone heats up slowly and battery runs out pretty fast.

I had installed the Wakelock Detector on my device and I will update the situation tomorrow, I will leave it there for a night and see the status tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Did you wipe after updating? I had the same issue when i updated to 4.3.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fjevel:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as he's been downgraded to 4.2.2 again, he'd have to wipe. At least that is how it was on my Xperia Z.

-KJ
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
this might not be related, but I've been noticing much worse battery life today than normal! i normally only drop about 50% in 24 hours, but today I've dropped 30% in just a few hours. Android OS seems to be doing it...

no real heat issue tho, maybe slightly warmer from whatever the OS is doing, but nothing too major. running stock rooted 4.3
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lightbird:
had that on my Xperia Z on a 4.1 or 4.2 build (dunno which one). Sounds strange, but simply turning off the sync fixed the problem, give it a try :laugh:.

Hope it also helps on your XZU.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
At first I did not choose to wipe Data in Flashtool, then I flashed again, this time I checked everything.

the problem still exists.

UPDATE:

Yesterday after working hours, I had rooted and installed BetterBatteryStats, Performance Control to monitor the system. I also had WaveLockDetector and Titanium Backup installed.

It appeared that the CPU runs all the time, in the highest state (2.15 Ghz), the phone never goes to DeepSleep and Awake all the time.

On Performance control, I had underclocked the CPU to 1.5Ghz and the temperature seems to be cooler.

I had tried to freeze a lot of applications via Titanium backup but so such luck.

Still researching.

However, many thanks to your kind replies. At least I know that I'm not alone with this problem :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
I ever had no deep sleep problem with 4.3, even in stamina and airplane mode, and with location-off too, I checked with BBS and found the 'trigger' is a process under google now app. I use GREENIFY and get the google now hybernated. Everything fines now and I still can use google now as it only hybernated when not in use : )
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
hey, thanks for your reply. I did the same to you, even with Titanium backup to ensure this will never shows up again, but CPU keeps throtlling at 100%. I still can not find an answer to this 100% thing. now the phone is quite hot in my pocket, I decided to put in my bag and even turn off to keep it from heating.

I will try another rom and update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
do you use any cleaner/task killer app? before trying other rom or update, maybe you need to uninstall it, reboot recovery and wipe cache and see the result.

I don't know if this is relevance but while using greenify I also uninstall the previous cleaner app and replace with another one that I think is better.

now my c6833 has great deep sleep.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
Hi, Thanks again for your advice.

Would you please give me the name of the cleaner apps that you think are way better?

Are you running on 4.3 stock or on some modified roms?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
The thing is, you don't need a task killer/cleaner app. It was useful way back on Android 2.1/2.3, but you shouldn't use it at all on 4.0+. You're actually making things worse.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
mine has been heating up as well. the battery isn't draining like how yours is, but any kind of use will heat the top back side of the phone. I checked and after killing all apps, my cpu load was still around 65%. is that normal? no custom flash here. locked bootloader. updated through pcc normally. I'd imagine this is why 4.3 isn't running as buttery smooth like everyone else.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
No, that's not normal. Mine's around 20-30 degress celsius (depending on what i'm doing). Even streaming 1080p videos shouldn't make it hot or even mildly hot. When i had the heating problem, two cores would always be stuck at 2150 MHz. Now one core is active at 960 MHz when the screen is on. CPU load is around 20 and 60% (single core). Temperature is currently at 26 degrees. Also, stop killing apps and processes. Most of them are set to start automatically, so when you kill them over and over again, they'll start again and they'll use even more battery. Android is built to manage resources very well on its own, and it's not operating like Windows or any other computer OS. Just leave it alone unless something has gone rouge and you don't have a choice.

I'm on stock 290, rooted and extremely debloated.

- Current battery level: 88%

- Current uptime: 3 h 30 min

- Current screentime: 1 hour (browsing etc.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
hmm... yea that sounds like the problem i am having. im noticing two cores stuck at 2150mhz with a third kicking in here and there. how were you able to fix it? just a fresh install of .290?

so as far as the apps go, i have Du Battery Saver installed and the "optimize" button is supposed to clear up some of the background junk. are you saying that i should leave the optimize button alone and just let android figure itself out?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
What i'm saying is that you should uninstall that crappy app. Task killers were useful three years ago when Android devices had slow processors and low amount of RAM. What you're doing now is killing everything everytime you tap that button. WHY do you want to do that? What's the point of having 2GB of RAM when you don't want to use it? Are you always killing processes on your computer too? Would you do it if your computer had 32GB of RAM with 30GB available? Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Android is a modern OS that can handle this on its own. If you only have 300MB RAM left and you want to play Asphalt 8 which requires (i'm guessing) 500MB RAM, Android will find the oldest and less frequently used process and kill it. It's that easy.

You can read more about it here and here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
gotcha. I get what you're saying.

now that that is settled, what to do about the original problem? phone is still heating up. :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I think it'll be a little easier if you tell us what you've done till now. We have no idea what you've tried and not tried.

Sent from my Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
ok. so I haven't done anything at all to remedy the situation. I figured I'd ask about it before messing it up myself. I upgraded to .290 via pcc. it updated fine with no errors. once it was done updating, it was hot and battery was diminished. I had seen on another thread that most people had that happened so I didn't see it as an issue, just a side effect of the update process.

I have been checking back to see if anyone was having heating issues with 4.3 after the update and didn't hear about it until I had seen this thread. the OP stated he flashed .290 on his 6802 and is rooted. I am not, so I wasn't sure if the steps he was taking were the same given my 6833 being completely stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Alright. You should do a full wipe/factory reset. I did that when mine got hot. Not if if that solved it, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Sent from my Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
Hope these help, I had successfully get rid of the heating problem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
so i wiped the phone clean and reinstalled .290. heating issue is gone, but now my mobile data drops in and out every few minutes. i replaced the settings that i used before that didnt have a problem, and its still dropping. i thought maybe stamina mode is kicking it off so i turned that off, and nope. that didnt help. even though i did fresh install, phone is still running slow.

i love this phone, but after the update to 4.3, its made me want to snap it in half over my head. maybe ill try installing one more time and hopefully itll work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
hi, have you tried flash it with different (region) FTF? for example, previously I used singapore FTF and then replaced with EU, replaced again with singapore FTF as I feel it is better (to me).

if the problem persist maybe we just need to wait the next Sony build 14.2.A.1.114. if yours rooted and BL is unlocked, CM10.2 has great battery live to me (at least until latest Dec nightlies), maybe you can use it for the time being. Yes you will miss the mini app but with exposed installer + xhalofloatingwindow modul + slide launcher it get covered, the only one I missed when using CM10.2 is the mini-app screen capture which allow cropping and editing before it saved. Also I feel the external audio out in call-mode is better/louder than Sony stock.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
Just go to Mobile Network settings and add new APN to your default one. I manually added one myself on this phone and on my previous Z. apparently it will not configure itself.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
I did factory restore from the phone. then I opened up update service and restored from there as well just to be sure. no heating issues now. I got mobile data to work by just pressing Internet settings. when I first got my phone, that option didn't work. apparently now it works. I pressed it, it configured for att. now I don't have mobile data issues anymore either. Lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] justsomebody:
Very funny that the most appropriate solution is to re-flash your phone like ... 12296 times and every problems will be soled, LOL

BAREBACK MILESTONE 1 REVIEW:

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=QEZYcWJoeog&feature=youtu.be[/YOUTUBE]

This is a Optimus/Home free version of our d3rpG2 Rom that has been put on a serious diet. The goal of this was to strip down not only the "regular" bloat but also much of the extras that can be safely removed YET leaving the rom fully functional and d3rp Certified.

Yes, the rom really is only 559mb of d3rp!

:eek:

See the OP for the very long list of what makes this rom series THE ONE to be on. :D Then.... look down below here for a few additional notes about Bareback.

Rom includes Nova launcher (feel free to use any launcher you would like but Nova and Nova Prime are light weight and have tons of features and functionality) as the default, you can restore LG's Home with the zip below.

We have also include the Lucent Remix Icon pack (can be set in Nova settings) with custom walls and AppGetter application for requesting custom app icons by Team d3rp's lovely [MENTION=2634634]vanessaem[/MENTION] who makes all things pretty. If you like the Lucent Color Icons in the screenies, they can be found in the Play Store or you can follow V's pretty things in her thread located here >>>>>> [ICON SETS, UCCWs, and More] Themes by vanessaem

PLEASE thank [MENTION=2582200]youdug[/MENTION] for the guidance and patience needed to help me get this done. I worked on this in the shadows for the last couple months, hidden and he only spilled the beans once. Ha ha

Also thanks are in order for [MENTION=3901208]hockeyfamily737[/MENTION] who is the original d3rp with the idea to do a Bareback variant AND [MENTION=1979916]diestarbucks[/MENTION] who was the last maintainer of Bareback and the reason I got a chance to join this Merry band of d3rps! :p

Last but not least, our trusty testing crew, [MENTION=2799187]secret.animal[/MENTION], [MENTION=4078545]That_Guy0505[/MENTION], and [MENTION=533412]lowpro3210[/MENTION] as they made sure everything was in order for this little surprise for you all.

[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
You should have a green check mark on the folder. Do not proceed, I just updated my files to Rev 21, and green check mark is there. Tell me this how big is your d3rpG2 folder.

Mine with Rev 21, is sitting at 2.91 GB. Even before that Rev it was about that size. See if yours is close to that size.

Make sure you are only archiving what is inside the folder. So you choose all 4 folders and boot file. Add to archive, format of zip.

I did that, but it didn't update anything further-still is the same size as I posted and still, no green arrows :(

steps for SVN seem rather self explanatory (1st timer but still...) as to how I screwed something up, I HIGHLY doubt-

The green check mark will be on the svn folder itself not on any of those. Those are the files to be zipped up.
[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
The green arrows don't mean much. I had that issue before using svn on a d3rp rom for the EvoLTE. everything worked fine even without the arrows. If you want the arrows that bad then just reinstall the lastest copy of svn on your PC. I just reinstalled it the other day and now I have arrows.
