Can i use this http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/stock-kernel-4-3-xzkernel-17-beta-t2409003 kernel on z1 due to tap to wake and voltage control features??? Because any of z1 kernels not having these features.

If no what happened If i flash it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
No no no no! You can NEVER flash a kernel from a different device! The kernel is what tells the hardware and software how to talk to each other. How could it possibly work on a device with completely different hardware?

Go ahead and try if you don't mind bricking your device, because a brick is what will happen.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobangill99:
Hmmm

Hope someone would port these features to z1 kernel

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ifti786:
Hello

Yesterday I installed alien rom 5.0 onto my xperia J which was running cm10. It installed and worked very well until I realised I forgot to flash the root fix so I needed to reboot to recovery which I was unable to do because it wouldn't work. I decided to go ahead and install a cwm I found on a website and I could now boot into cwm however it kept flashing a charging symbol the the screen was pink whilst showing double and switching off. After a while it started working again but then crashed as soon as I hit the power button to restore my backup. Now my phone shows a black screen and when switched on flashes the led green twice and shows the sony logo then powers back off. I need help, I'm un experienced in this field of phones...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
So, you hard reset your device, you do the softreset to avoid all the branding rubbish and .... your phone won't work because you don't know the password to the internet connection settings and so on. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Question is: where can I find the t-mobile settings, web and walk included?

TIA!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
There is a website I found recently called Google.com . It's some kind of search engine. If you enter "t-mobile uk gprs" and hit search it comes up with loads of links. not sure if the first one helps. Try it out.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Ah-ha. You must feel like a big man now.

Plus, you're wrong, they are not that easy to find. Looking at the first links on the search string you gave, they all list the username for the t-mob connection as being 'user', whereas mine is 't-mobile'.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phsnake:
here it is - but they dont work on some (ch) roms,works fine on my rom with web n walk

How do I install from this cab file?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
Vijay, maybe you want to rename the file to GPRSsettings ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Hi guys, thanks very much for all the replies!

Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB did the trick. I didn't seem to need the other file (MMS settings). The only other file I had to fish out of the extended rom is the long_dtmf one. If you don't put that on and try to dial a number, the phone hangs on keypresses :lol:

I'll let you know if I see any other required cab I might have missed. So far the phone is behaving slightly faster - not as big of a difference as I've seen on the O2 branded ones (which hurt from all the crap 02 leaves on them).

Cheers!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Would also like to add, without all the tmobile stuff from the extended rom, my battery life has doubled. Brilliant!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nice_xtremely:
Excuse my innocence, but how can you do that? Thank you
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phsnake:
if U want to not install branding rubbish, after calibrating touch screen, ppc starts installig. U've got some 3seconds to softreset(small black hole below usb connector) press it and trick is done. Other way use ext_rom unlocker (www.buzzdev.net) remove or move (move is better, there are gprs,mms and other settings in .cab files, U'll figure it out which of them U need) all **** from ext_rom and hard reset

Any news? Thanx!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] glennexpert:
I've just released an initial version of what I'm trying to accomplish. However some settings and other screens may result in SystemUI crash or other malfunctions, once configured to your needs it should be stable for operational use.

Please feel free to comment but don't expect any wonders, as stated in the first post, I'm only experimenting with this device to adapt it to my personal outdoor needs:

Eg:

- Less power consumption by disabling sensor apps and indicators that rely on calculation

- Big buttons (mountainbike mode) in the quick launch

- OK google voice integration

- etc...

Any other suggestions are welcome, especially looking for skydiving features and mountain biking features.

Todo's:

- Extend quick launch

- Cleanup SecSettings.apk

- Cleanup systemui.apk

- Update Lidroid Buttons to work with this device

Cheers!

Nevermind installed !

Im testing....;)

Sorry for late reply, been on a holiday. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you got it installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] alex_Rsa:
Finally! Something other then the stock rom that works and has a network signal! Thank you!

The only thing apart from the already known bugs that i found out until now is that the icon for bluetooth headset connected doesn't show up on the notification bar (only a dot shows up) but the bluetooth works fine.

I'm gonna try it as a daily driver a few days, see how it fairs. It still needs some improvemets to the interface and especially the notification UI. The most annoying is the toggle switch not working the first time and not being able to choose default slide down screen. I like the direction you are going in with the oversized shortcuts! keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] glennexpert:
TY,

As [MENTION=5343811]maurensen[/MENTION] already mentioned, not much to customize yet.

I'm working on some live tiles right now and hope to finish them by the end of the week.

For your "issue" with the notification slider, you can either slide down touching left or right on the screen.

This allows you to choose between notification and short-cuts.

Thanks for your input,
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] alex_Rsa:
Ok, i'm officially dumb :)) thx for clearing that up and the ultra quick reply! I'll be looking forward for the updates!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] alex_Rsa:
Found out a couple more bugs. Pressing the edit button in gallery causes it to crash. Gallery option is missing from Lock screen wallpaper selection (i can only choose from the default WPs).

LE: found another one: Can't assign contact picture from the contact edit screen (when clicking on image the message: "Application not found" is displayed). You can set it as contact photo from the gallery though.

THIS THREAD IS DEDICATED TO YOUR AND REVIEW BATTERY RESULTS

Smartphone Bulgaria posted it's S5 review and battery stats, and it's VERY promising.

Source of these images: http://news.smartphone.bg/review/revyu-na-samsung-galaxy-s5-noviyat-vodach-na-smartfon-pazara/

Talk time on 3G is topping smartphone.bg's charts at 25 hours

Internet browsing (10,5hrs) is a tad behind the efficient iPhone 5S, but FAR ahead even the Note 3

3D gaming is also topping the charts (4,6hrs)

The Galaxy S5 is now smartphone.bg's endurance champion
[Galaxy S 5 General] CLARiiON:
Damn, impressed!

Specially considering that amount of browsing time on an AMOLED screen. I think movie playback will be even higher due to AMOLED advantages.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SkoreK89:
The same was with note 2 on 4.1.1. Great battery life with 7-8h screen time and now with new updates i have 4h screen max with the same apps. So don't be so optimistic.

[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Under my experience on the Nexus 4, KitKat is great for consistent battery performance.
[Galaxy S 5 General] sohebq:
How can it be better than Note 3, I am confused.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Could be many things, the better screen : battery ratio, fresher SoC, Android / TouchWiz version, improved radios, heat management, screen tech... but wait and see for other results.

[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Some comments on battery life here:

[YOUTUBE]j0uXnOrkXKA[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S 5 General] hung2900:
So true. 4.1.1 gave the best battery life, 4.1.2 a litterateur le bit worse but still very good, but 4.3 is disaster. Battery drains so hard even no wakelock! So I had to rollback to 4.1.2 with my lovely Perseus kernel. Hope a change in Kitkat update.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
I watched this video but I can't take his findings seriously as all the battery stats he showed weren't accurate representations. He didnt charge the device to 100% and then he re-charged it as some random time not allowing the stats to reset.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
I'll try to get better, but don't worry, the phone is released soon, and the [MENTION=2855202]community[/MENTION] will contribute. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Im confused, Is that your YouTube channel?
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
No.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
oh i thought larger screens use more battery because larger pixels takes more power to turn on? :S
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Phone definitely has worse signal at home than my m7 did but better data speeds all around regardless of signal strength.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Its reports like these that worry me, I can't find an accurate source stating the S5 has good signal strength or bad. There is plenty of mixed reports regarding signal strength and combined with all the different carriers and CDMA/GSM its impossible to know for sure.

Have you compared the actual signal strength values or just the amount of bars shown on the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Just bars for now...which I'm pretty sure have been proven to be just BS at the end of the day.
[Galaxy S 5 General] villainous:
My battery life is phenomenal. I use my phone quite a bit, streaming Pandora 5 hours a day, airdroid and wifi are connected 90% of the day. Clash of clans, lots of news apps, some Web browsing and a ton of Facebook. 13 hours and still at 41%
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
What kind of screen on time did you get with this charge?
[Galaxy S 5 General] villainous:
5 hours screen time on.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
This is a sht battery life, samsung needs to push an update to fix this android OS drain. 7

How can it be down 6% after just 13 mn of screen on time? My s4 has better battery. With BBS it shows the cpu gets stuck at 300 for 7 minutes from some reason
[Galaxy S 5 General] CLARiiON:
My guess - wakelocks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
Yes wakelocks that I haven't seen before

No idea what the first one is, a lot of people are having it bit no body can explain it
[Galaxy S 5 General] tehgyb:
Not bad. Nfc on, smart stay and smart pause on, sync on, brightness at about 20% or so...
[Galaxy S 5 General] cloudyphiz:
This is exactly what I'm getting with my AT&T S5. Way worse battery life than my 2 year old S3 with a stock battery.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
I found out that samsung link was uploading the **** out of my phone I restricted all background data now idle is much better
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Samsung link?
[Galaxy S 5 General] cloudyphiz:
I just changed that setting, and now there is a persistent notification in the top bar telling me that background data is off and should be turned back on? Unreal. Coming from a GS3 running pwncakes 4.4.2 I forgot how much it absolutely sucks to use a stock TW rom.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Apoxx:
I completely removed my Samsung account on the device now. I'll see if it helps.
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
I have noticed that my battery drops pretty quick from a full charge down to about 90%, then lasts for ages.
[Galaxy S 5 General] el7145:
how do you remove your samsung account...in the "accounts" settings there doesnt seem to be an option to remove the account
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ave666:
Root and freeze I believe
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
Not so much of a complaint than an observation tbh. I won't root until there is a way of keeping warranty.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Apoxx:
There is, you have to enter one screen further, then the 3 dots in top corner will show "Remove Account" in addition to "Sync".

It doesn't matter though, I'm still unable to pass System and OS in batterydrain, even with screen constantly on. Ridiculous.
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
The OS and System usage dont seem any higher than they did on my m7. Using GSam on both phones, OS and System are always at the top of usage.

Install better battery stats, let it run for a day and see if your phone is going into deep sleep. Thats very important. If it never is, or your sleep % is super low, youve got a wake lock issue.

edit - the phone seems to do real good with idle use but the moment you start using it again, it starts to eat through battery pretty quick it seems.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
I just wanted to post this video, this guy has insane battery life on his S5, probably the best battery life I have seen so far assuming his stats are real.

http://youtu.be/B7pjbuv2jkY
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Man, dont know how these guys are doing it. Thats insane.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
It seems crazy right, almost to the point where I dont believe it but I doubt someone with 40k subscribers would forge battery results.
[Galaxy S 5 General] paul118:
I got just over a day of usage out of my phone on its first charge... I used ultra power saving mode when I went to bed and it was on 86% when I turned it on and when I woke up the next morning it was on 86% still.
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
I mean Im seeing guys on here with 8 hours of screen time. They must ONLY text or something cause I cant see how youre getting that playing games, listening to music, etc etc.

The phone lasts me a full day so I mean thats all I care about but I still wouldnt mind seeing that kind of life.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Has anyone tested at or near 100% brightness for a whole day or so? I'm in a lot of bright environments, so my brightness is always really high. Because AMOLEDs tend to have power usage scale exponentially with higher brightness, I'd like to see what you guys have seen out of it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bjc112:
I'll go 100% brightness next cycle.
[Galaxy S 5 General] villainous:
I always leave my brightness at 100%, streaming pandora, playing clash of clans, using news apps all day and constantly connected to airdroid and I get about 6 hours of on screen time and 16 hours of battery life
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Dang! That's impressive :D

I really hope there's a GPE of this phone...
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
I fixed my battery drain by removing some samsung accounts now after 8 hours sleep I lost 1%
[Galaxy S 5 General] jntdroid:
Sorry for the lazy post (i.e. no screens), I'm getting, on average, 3.5+ hours of screen time with almost 24 hours of battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RS050377:
Which ones have you removed? Please details.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
Just go to data usage check both wifi and mobile I had a lot of background data
[Galaxy S 5 General] philliplavelle:
I'd be interested in knowing this too please. I sync the Samsung browser with my account because I prefer it to chrome and can run it between my phone and tablet but if it is draining, I'd happily laser that
[Galaxy S 5 General] jntdroid:
That seems about right (and is awesome). I'm getting 3.5-4 hours of screen time on 24 hours of use with auto brightness enabled.
[Galaxy S 5 General] EnricoIT:
Galaxy Charging Current app shows 1200mA while connected to the wall charger....is it an error or do I have an issue with my phone?
[Galaxy S 5 General] jagrave:
Someone earlier said max with screen on was 1200mA, but screen off was 1800mA.
[Galaxy S 5 General] EnricoIT:
I remember there was an app to track the mA while in standby....do you know of any?
[Galaxy S 5 General] perovero:
Is anyone experiencing huge PowerManagerService.WakeLocks drain ? It's even higher than the wlan_rx_wake that most of you are having.. I'm not rooted so can't see the partial wakelocks and idk what's causing it.. Maybe it's connected to the high android system usage ?? :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] jagrave:
Honestly, I do not. I didn't even think about tracking charging until I saw it in this thread. Lol.
[Galaxy S 5 General] EnricoIT:
Maybe Battery Monitor Widget...I'm giving a try :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] philliplavelle:
Has anybody here tried enabling ART? I'm seeing posts elsewhere that it should make the battery life a bit better and the phone snappier in general and that it is fully compatible. Haven't done it myself yet but wonder if anybody else did and if so, what it did to your battery life? Some argue it makes a big difference, others say that it's just placebo. Would be interested to hear your thoughts
[Galaxy S 5 General] jagrave:
Let us know how it goes. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] 92drls:
Thanks for this, totally forgot that was an option. I have killer battery life IMO, about 1% an hour but this can only help by un-checking.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
Getting better
[Galaxy S 5 General] philliplavelle:
How did you get that Skivnit?
[Galaxy S 5 General] erasat:
Still adjusting here and there but after a week I've been getting constant stats, only if we could fix/solve or know why after Kit Kat Android System and Android OS are getting that much higher battery usage, I'd be happy, I've always monitored my battery stats very closely, and Screen has been always 50-60% of the stats, but since Kit Kat, the same day I updated my S4 I noticed that is the second most of the time behind Android System and even third with Android OS swapping places. I mention this because it immediately affected my Screen On Time, I was getting 4 hours constantly on my S4 and after the update I began getting barely 3.5 hours.

Since day 1 (last week) I'm getting mostly the below stats, I assume that if Screen goes back to be the number one usage it can add almost an hour more to this:
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
2 hours off the charger....literally 3 minutes of screen time. Already down 3%. You guys must be blessed by the Samsung gods.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
By using wifi and removing samsung account .I'm gonna see if I get same thing on 3g only
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
Was going to pick one of these up but sounds like the battery life isn't as good as the M8. Got on to pick up in Argos to try but they don't take hardware back so I'd be stuck with it.

Battery life is huge for me and m8 goes all day with around 6/7 hours screen on (WiFi)
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Removing samsung account? You mean just having it not sync?
[Galaxy S 5 General] philliplavelle:
Keep us informed. Will be watching closely. I'm removing my Samsung account now
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Anyone care to explain "removing samsung account"? Is that a root only thing?
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
Even when I had it not synced for some reason it was doing something in the background so I disabled background data
