But is it advisable to use rubber cases or is it harmful? ??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] allanzzz:
In the pocket and heats up?

If it's in deep sleep, probably just your body heat warming it, don't worry too much about it

I am at the equator, my battery idle at 30 degrees in the day, 33 c while using, 38 to 40c while intensive gaming, around 25c in early morning

Still working great after more than a year

Even the battery still last around 4 hour screen time

Cases

I highly recommend getting a hybrid case to protect your phone (both rubber and plastic) ie: otterbox cases, or Seidio cases. if you want it to slide in and out of your pocket easily i have used and suggest otterbox commuter case. the defender case has a little bit more of an issue (though slight) but i like it. and for the heating up thing, the only time ive EVER felt mine heat up w/ case on is during heavy gaming. but if u take off the case to game you should be fine.

(for heavy gaming i played gba emulator and pokemon for 2 hours)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aljaz4life:
In my opinion the best cases are the hard one... I personaly use Nilkin hardcase for note 2 and it's amazing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nicktastique:
You definitely want something with rubberized corners. The corners are the most vulnerable to drops, so they should have the most shock absorption. Ideally the rest of the phone would be covered by a hard shell, like the one I use. The rubberized interior still offers shock absorption for the non-corner parts of the phone, and the front of the case is a few millimeters tall which prevents the screen from touching a surface when placed (or dropped) face-down. The holes on this particular case provide texture, making it less slippery, and possibly provide a bit of ventilation to keep the device cool (though heat has never been a problem with the Note 2 for me, even while playing Ingress in 100 degree weather).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bigdog901023:
I don't like using flip case as I usually use my phone one handed.

I'm just using a normal plastic case with rubberized-side.

Please be advised that Note 2's side is kinda fragile..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] toughmenot:
I used to use few hard cases for the last one yr but now I am off the cases. This makes the phone a lot more handier. Only thing is that it can cause many scratches. I have read somewhere that there are protectors like screen guards for the entire phone. I am in search of such a piece. Its too damn good to use this piece of art device without the bulk of a case. Please enlighten me if anyone knows/uses a protector like I mentioned.

Thanks

I am currently using the Otterbox Defender series case for the Note 2, it adds a decent amount of bulk but a LOT of protection, so im installing the FlyGrip right now, it has to sit for the adhesive to work for long term and constant use. so by tomorrow or monday ill let you know if and how much it helps. untill then, im using my year old commuter otterbox that i cracked in 6 different places, but the phone is damage free

pictures of my Otterbox Defender with the FlyGrip.

So far I am very pleased with the Defender case. it's no dust proof exactly because it gets dirty on the screen and if i want it perfect i need to open the case up to clean it, but other than that it's great. i havent dropped it yet, but that might be partially because of the FlyGrip. it added bulk but i can easily hold it 1 handed and it fits in my pocket just fine.

Hello, i recently updated my Sony Xperia Z1 Model No: C6902 with the latest kitkat update but after the update their is disturbances heard in the message notification tone....what shall i do? is there a problem with the update itself?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Maybe, to early to say if it is a bug, some users have to report it as well too. Try Factory Reset first, it will wipe your data but it will clean up after update.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Do you have any mods installed that may have restored with titanium when you reinstalled the rom?

Could be that something is not playing nice with the new base.

Attempt a clean install with no restores and test the audio, then restore and if it comes back after the restore you'll know if it's a rogue app / mod or not.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
Me too after update with NUT pre-rooted rom.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhimudaliar:
Its Pure stock and no mods installed...i even wrote a mail to sony customer care abt this...they said to factory reset the phone...i did that too but still the disturbance can be heard in the message notification tone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
I as well am having the same issue. The notification "skips" if you will at the beginning first 1-2 seconds of any notification. I have not noticed if this issue is present in a phone ring yet, only in notifications.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febrizzio:
So, no solution yet?... I have same issue... And this notification ringtone is annoyed...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahzaib.khan:

And this is very annoyed..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
Shahzaib.khan I don't believe your referencing the same bug we are discussing. If I'm not mistaken your discussing the sound through the internal earpiece instead of the loudspeaker. We are referring to a notification tone which skips when being played during an actual notification

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahzaib.khan:
Guys i guess i was right at the first place

I comeback to 4.4 from the start

I flashed xperia ultra firmware which is modified by nut then i put 156 of xperia z1 then i root it and flash recovery on it and then formated every thing except external card, i formated internal memory also. And yes till now received 5 calls there is no problem...

Try it every one
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahzaib.khan:
Sorry guys the above method also didnt work. In short kitkat from sony sucks. Sony developers need to learn something from the xda developers.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyk:
Hi,

Is this problem solved now for you after the update to .757?

It hasn't for me. I still get the annoying broken/disturbed notification tone many times even after a clean install of the FW .757.

I am on stock ROM, non rooted. I really do want to know which app is playing rogue, if it is an app. I thought after the few updates to the walkman app, it may solve the issue, but it didn't.

I find this solution for running ActiveSync connected thru BT via one click. I tried it on my MDA Compact and it works.

Hope it helps.

http://www.mtekk.com.au/Forums/tabid/56/postid/14926/view/topic/Default.aspx

On the Pocket PC...

1. ActiveSync / Tools / Options... / Options... (yes options twice)

2. "When cradled Enable PC sync using this connection" 'Bluetooth

3. Startup an ActiveSync connection as you normally would...

4. Now setup a shortcut to the program "windows\repllog.exe" into the Start menu. To do this

a. open up Explore in ActiveSync

b. Go into My Pocket PC

c. Go into Windows folder

d. Find repllog.exe and right click and select copy

e. Go into the Start Menu folder (within Windows folder)

f. Right click, paste shortcut - rename to something like ActiveSync Direct

Back on the Pocket PC

5. Gracefully disconnect ActiveSync.

6. Start / Settings / Buttons

7. Choose Button 4

8. Set the button assignment as ActiveSync Direct (or whatever you called it above) and click OK

9. Reset your Pocket PC and wait about 15 seconds for everything to get loaded (esp. Bluetooth which takes a little while).

10. Press the top left side button. Voila! Easy!

If you get the ActiveSync - "Port Not Available" message, it just means that Bluetooth hasn't loaded yet. Tap OK, check that Bluetooth is activated and if so, try again.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Novice Gadget Boy:
Thanks for the post. Ive been having trouble getting this to work however.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Tomy:
Try to use Resco File Explorer instead of M$ Explorer. When you 'right click' on Windows/repllog.exe, there is 'Send To...' -> 'Start Menu as Shortcut' option in menu.

Until now Doomlord,Androguide Fr and Faux made custom kernels for Xperia Z1 with this feature implemented.Doomlord has no plans to support Xperia Z1 Compact,as he don`t own this device, Faux and Androguide Fr said nothing about supporting this phone.So...we have to wait until someone ports the kernels from Z1 or creates one for this one.I`m also a big fan of DT2W function.I can`t wait for this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:

...so perhaps if a few more People made them aware this is a desired feature then they may change their mind.

Many android phone users don't even know about the existence of this feature.Last week I have asked some developers if they can try to make a kernel with this feature for Xperia Z1 Compact but the answer was, in less words "NO". Too bad because it`s a very good phone and the similarity with Xperia Z1 is very very big.So the porting,for someone who knowshow to do it,shouldn`t be so difficult.

I only had mine a week or so before the upgrade, but I would say it's definitely taken a hit. Now, screen is not always the biggest power consumer like it used to be. Android OS and Android System are taking a much bigger portion of the power than they used to. I always reboot the phone if something other than screen is monopolizing the battery.

Also, I heard there's a Qualcomm-specific bug related to powering the cameras, and that it's been a particular issue with the latest Skype builds.

I worry that they'll fix these issues quickly in the Android project but it'll take months for me to see the fix from Verizon, by which point my battery will have been subjected a lot of unnecessary heat and wear.
[Moto X General] Darth:
Tonnes of android os talk in this thread. Or try Googling it.

Basically, the more services you have on and apps syncing, the higher it gets. For experimentation .....disable sync, location, Google now and Amy other service you can find, and usually android os goes way down. Decide what's important to you and enable things again....but do like one change a day. And when your android os skyrockets again....you'll know the last thing you enabled is the main culprit.

Anyway.....a pile of battery tips in here, and android os talk. Take some time and read through some. Maybe start at last page and go back as far as you can. ;)

Thanks, but I didn't really have to add anything except 4.4.2. The increased battery draw was pretty obvious after I applied the OTA.

I actually had slightly better battery life on my Nexus5. I still haven't passed 7+ hours screen time on the MotoX. I did it multiple times with the Nexus5. Although I think the Nexus5 has some tech to save battery while reading or screen is still. It still wasn't enough to make me choose it over the awesomeness that is the MotoX. Although I do miss that raw power every so often.

I too have had the random drain issue. It's definitely app related and since I reset and have stopped installing outdated apps I've been fine.

Installed ds battery saver. And let discharge overnight. Gsam reported a 2%/hr discharge. I had some apps not be shutoff

Install a xposed module appopsx or find a app on the play store if you don't have xposed. 4.4.2 requires root.

It's the built in permissions management. You can disable location for what app for example. It shows you what app is using that permission and how long ago it used it.
[Moto X General] fury683:
I unlocked and finally upgraded to 4.4.2 on Tuesday the 18th. I had a four day weekend and was on my phone A LOT (because I wasn't at work), so I wouldn't consider it normal usage to compare with. I'm waiting patiently for my averages to level off now that I'm back at work and on normal patterns again.

Before I wiped I took a screenshot of my averages according to GSAM, and it was showing 15h7m (7h42m active) average battery life, with 5h3m (7h12m max) screen on time.

I am currently a little below that, 12h20m (7h33m active) average battery life, with 5h28m (5h17m max) SoT. I was on my phone basically all day Friday-Sunday and had it on and off the charger. I haven't really had a full cycle of waking up, using the phone all day, and going to bed yet.

The apps I am running now are almost all identical. I actually removed 2-3 of them after finding that Gravity Box could emulate the features of standalone apps that I was using.

I am not using Greenify (I didn't see any substantial gain from it), but I do have the Snapdragon Battery Guru.

Overall, I don't think it's worse.

This was my drain while I slept last night. That's even better than I thought it was. 4.4.2 BTW. I'm pretty sure I don't have any apps installed that haven't been updated since Kit Kat came out.
