[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Hossie2k:
I also have never seen such a huge battery drain on any samsung or android device. For once, if you dont need it, go into settings and location services. Just disable it completly with that switch. This reduces the drain a lot, but is still way to high...

For me, it drains about 20% overnight with location on (completly offline) and about 10% without location services.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] JAIMEREYES:
I have the same problem as well. It will continuously drain from 90-50 in minutes and then 50-15 and so on. 1% sometimes lasts for 30 minutes+ and when I restart it will be 15+% again. I thought it might be because of custom roms so I reset it back to stock many times and same problem. The only apps I have installed are adobe reader and es file manager.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] f_ries:
boy, you're digging out a two year old thread!!

if you have such a battery drain you have different (unsatisfying) choices:

1. try battery calibration or other roms

2. throw you tab away + buy a new one

3. buy a new battery

4. accept it (like me)

5. wait until someone brings an awesome new rom which will give an awesome battery life

(sorry for hidden sarcasm but this tablet is just a big disappointment (for me))
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sicron:
I don't think you should throw away devices or buy new batteries without first analyzing what the problem could be. If you are rooted, download an app such as Wakelock Detector and BetterBatteryStats first, make sure there isn't some rogue app or process that is constantly running in the background. Also, if you are running the 8.4 (or perhaps it also works with the 10.1 / 12.1), check out the link in my signature on how to reseat your battery. Many people have found success with all kinds of battery problems.

You may already have heard about the icons that Google may or may not announce : Project MOONSHINE. The new icons seem to take design hints from some popular custom icon packs in the Google Play store.

The leaked images show that they added shadows to the icons and they are very minimalist design. Today Brian Roberts announced a new icon pack and launcher theme based around project Hera, with the leaked icons in it. With the launcher theme we get a glimpse of what the final product from Google could look like. I have to say it looks fantastic from what I’ve seen so far.

​

This new launcher theme by Brian Roberts launched today with about 60 icons as it’s early right now, and I’m sure he will update it when more are released. They’re very high quality icons and he says more will be added daily, and a handful of wallpapers are included as well.

As of writing, you can get it in the Play Store for $1 for the launch sale, if you’re interested in how it will look on your device. Go try it out! I installed it and like it so far, it looks good and I think it’s worth the $1 to support the developer.

The icon pack is pretty solid from what I've seen so far, I look forward to seeing more icons come out, then seeing Google’s new design aspects make their way into other things throughout android. The new icons have a much cleaner and more minimal look to them. Hopefully Google releases the new icons soon, so we can get the full look and feel of them.

[Xperia Z2 General] mushtafa:
Right I know it's too early to guess regarding the development of the Z2, but I checked out the Z1 subforum, and I'm unimpressed to be honest.

The Z1 was released September 2013. The HTC M8 was released April this year. The M8 is fast approaching the number of threads/kernels/ROMS.

Why are the Sony devices being left behind? I'm still waiting for my Z2, but I have something in the back of mind telling me the M8 will excel with development and stay updated/refreshed longer.

Any thoughts?
[Xperia Z2 General] stargate1000:
I have an M8 and a Z1 - awaiting my preorder of the Z2.

I'm actually selling the m8 as I actually prefer the Z1 over it. For me I much prefer look and feel and to be fair the only thing that I feel I will miss will be the gestures etc. However I believe some of those will be on the Z2 so no biggie.

The other is the screen as the z1 is inferior in that dept. But most important for me the Z1 pisses all over the M8 camera everyday.

So for me development or not I'm happy with stock and the far superior camera (like I said that is very important to me).

Can't wait to get my Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
This is something I am worried about too. Doesnt look like many developers / cooks are going for sony devices. M8 and S5 forums are already brimming with kernels / mods / roms (I know z2 is yet to be released worldwide) but there is only a very limited amount available even for z1.
[Xperia Z2 General] solwretep:
Part fun of being in this community is the development. To be honest, I find it more interesting to follow a device that's an underdog from the beginning. I went and looked in the Z1 development part of XDA and I saw CM11 ,paranoidandroid... Thats enough for me by far. It will be fun to study how Z2 develops.

I have no fear, only joy.
[Xperia Z2 General] vicedens2002:
This also bugs me a lot. I currently have HTC desire HD which came with 2.2. So far I have flashed 2.3 4.0.4 4.1 4.2 4.3 and 4.4. Till 4.1 I have flashed both sense and asop roms. Does Z2 will keep up like this?
[Xperia Z2 General] mushtafa:
The good old Desire HD :) one of the best phones I've had. I'm still using a sensation at the moment because of the brilliant devs on this site.

[Xperia Z2 General] brouwerchris:
Lack of need for "development" was one of the reasons why I ordered a Z2.After four years of Samsung on my i9000 and i9300 and the need to root it to remove the bloat,wherafter "enjoying " the "development of CM / PA/ Slimrom etc ,and the frustration of the poor results of this development,

I decided to go for the best phone available atm because Sony stays very close to "stock "android the way I enjoy it on my N7.

Maybe from now on I can only enjoy this beautifull phone without ending up running around in circles as a "flash.a.holic" again.

For those who wish to persist in their "flashing" habits : good luck with it....
[Xperia Z2 General] MadManMark:
Sony plan on releasing a new flagship every 6 months so they will quickly leave you behind in official updates, so really one would hope that they can benefit from ROMs.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Meant to quote you in post above
[Xperia Z2 General] brouwerchris:
Samsung S3 ownwers are left behind on 4.3,their choice : stay on 4.3 or use any of the CM/PA/Slimrom 4.4.2 Roms.

This leads to a phone with the latest android version,the price you have to pay for it: camera malfunction,bluetooth sound stutters and sound issues for heavy gamers are only a few of the problems.I went up and down between 4.3 and 4.4.2 many times and learned my lesson ;better stay on the version thats working properly ( Samsungs Rom )

Sony updates all Z phones to Kitkat in may,so even with a Z of one year old you are not left behind.

Even if Sony leaves me behind at any time in future I will remember the lessons learned....
[Xperia Z2 General] krabappel2548:
I'll release an early cm build next week if all goes well :)
[Xperia Z2 General] MadManMark:
Samsung S3 has the exynos chipset, that makes it harder to develop for, but the kitkat roms on there aren't as buggy as you say, they will most likely be stable by the time Sony finally rolls out their kitkat update to the Z (possibly it's last update ever knowing Sony). I personally hate the idea of buying a Smartphone and in a year it feels ancient and like a thing from the past, I am not rich enough to update my phone so often and most contracts are lasting 2 years. The aftercare you get from Sony is too poor for me personally
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Any idea of rooting this phone with locked bootloader? so we all can happily back up the TA partition. :) :o
[Xperia Z2 General] mushtafa:
While we're on the subject, is there a guide I can read explaining this Sony stuff? Mainly regarding the root process/DRM keys etc etc?

I'm new to Sony :)

[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION]: Might be too early to ask you this question, but doesn't do any harm to ask I guess.

I really can't wait to replace the stock ROM with CM, but on the other hand I wouldn't want to loose functionality that is ROM specific, most importantly camera functions. As far as I understand it is not possible to install the Sony stock camera in another ROM because it comes with a whole framework (which I guess can't be ported?!). In addition to that I'm under the impression that previous versions of the xperia Z shot better pictures in low light with the stock ROM.

Do you know if we're gonna loose the camera app and it's features or is it possible to port it over to CM?

If you could shed some light onto this issue, I would appreciate that.

No, stock camera app won't work on cm, but you can always use 3rd party apps :)

I'm almost finished with device tree for Z2 ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] hillbicks:
Well, it seems like the Sony camera is way better than any 3rd party camera out there, that's why I asked. I'll open up a new thread and see where that takes us.

btw. do you think we will be able to backup the TA partition on the Z2? I still haven't rooted my device
[Xperia Z2 General] Sentinel196:
I think as Android improves with every iteration, OEMs are slowly learning that simple is good. The stock feature set on the Z2 is fantastic, as in the camera. Less and less people are going to be willing to sacrifice things like the native camera app when the perceived benefit of switching to a custom ROM diminishes.

Personally, the first thing I did when I got my Z2 was install Google Now Launcher for a vanilla Android look and feel, but I wouldn't even consider doing a build of my ROM for this phone at this point in time because the stock features are brilliant a they are.

I don't think lack of development is an indicator of an unsuccessful phone anymore, but rather the opposite.

HTC devices are inherently going to have a lot of development as long as they continue with Sense, because Sense is such a user polarizer.
[Xperia Z2 General] AirSupply:
I think the current state of the factory ROM after .55 update is quite stable with some small issues. I am content with the current ROM. It is snappy, no lag and smooth. No carton-ish icons or effects like the Samsung phones :D
[Xperia Z2 General] krabappel2548:

[Xperia Z2 General] DooMLoRD:
Sony devices generally dont have the huge number of ROMs/Kernels/etc... but they do have some really well maintained ROMs?kernels..

P.S.: i also plan to get the Z2 and actively develop for it!
[Xperia Z2 General] niaboc79:
Personally I am thinking the opposite...

Samsung & HTC forums have too much roms, kernel and threads!

What the point to have 200 differents roms containing the same mods, the same apps, where the only change is the name!

What's the point to have 50 differents buggy kernels, beta CM builds, etc

Quantity doesn't make quality ;)

The Sony forums are well organized, there are specific developers for each style, like stock based rom, CM roms, AOSP, etc

We have a few kernels builders and that's enough.
[Xperia Z2 General] kurtisnet:

I have moved from the Z to Z2 a few weeks ago, and I really miss EXISTENZ on my previous Z!

Z2 has some weird kernel/fastboot issues. So development isn't easy. First cm build had a black screen, second one didn't booted at all, red LED keeps on flashing. But kernel is built with the same mkbootimg and same command.

Me and Doomlord are both facing issues like this, so let's hope we find a solution soon.

How many of you are still using a Rezound?

I still am and it's my first and only smartphone I've ever owned. Still working great! Of course I wish some things were better (like the battery and lag) or that I had a better phone, but the Rezound has been good for me. I may get an S5 or might wait it out a little longer until the 64-bit chips come.
[HTC Rezound] swilbert80:
Still rockin' the Rezzy

I'm in about the same boat. The Rezound is my third smartphone. I had a Touch Diamond and an Ozone before, both HTC. I really like the build quality of HTC, but I'm hesitant to get another one because of the update timing questionability and the nonremovable battery trend. I am happy they added the external SD card option back with the M8, though. I don't want to risk my unlimited data and I can't afford to buy a new phone at full price right now, so I'll be sticking with the Rezound for a good time (probably at least until the end of the year) longer. Mine i is working fine still, so no worries here.

We have two Rezounds that are about 2 years old and we still love them. These are our first smartphones and with the developer community doing such fine work to keep them up-to-date I can see no reason to change. The battery life has been decent enough and switching to larger screen phones isn't something we want to do. I like the extra screen real estate, but don't want the larger form factor when lugging it around.

[HTC Rezound] dejahboi:
Still using the rezound here. I too is trying to stick with this phone as long as I could with my unlimited data. But at the same time I'm long over due for a new phone.
[HTC Rezound] jasonmerc:
I still use the Rezound. Not for calling+texting+data-ing like I did for a while not so long ago, but just as my game phone for games that are too laggy on my Rugby Smart (my current actual phone for calling, texting, etc.). On a good day I can get about 1.5 hrs of battery in game play, but It's plugged into either the wall or the computer most of the time anyway so that doesn't really bother me. If my Rugby were to ever break (HIGHLY UNLIKELY, it was designed to do QUITE THE OPPOSITE), the Rezound would be my next option for a backup until I would either fix the Rugby or replace it with a device that has better battery life compared to the Rez (everyone else has nicknames for it, this is mine).

I could just get an extended battery for it, but that's like 10 whole dollars. That is 2/3 of what I paid for this phone, so it's not even worth it to me to replace anything that still works (the camera glass was a different story, i just HAD to replace that). I originally got the thing as a see-if-I-can-fix-it phone from a friend who thought it was broken forever and was able to fix the darn thing with the help of XDA. And of course, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out GSM was a hidden feature on it. Anyway, if I got an extended battery my rubber case I got with it would be too small and I'd hate to see such a nice case go to waste.

I am happy with tmobile. I got the unlimited everything plan for 45/month and coverage is great. They even let you tether to other devices! Tmobile says you only get like 500mb of tether data, but if you root your phone and use an app like Barnacle Wifi Tether you can get around that limit.

I just upgraded to the S5 (keeping unlimited plan). I'm not holding my breath on getting a root for it - seems like the guys over there are panicking already.

I just really feel like my ReZound is still up and running because I was able to swap out the battery - the original isn't lasting much more than 8 hours on minimal use today. I feel the next phone I get needed to have a battery I could swap out as well - and the only one that currently meets that need is Samsung (unfortunately). Here's hoping that in two years, when I'm eligible for upgrade again - that HTC brings back a phone with an interchangeable battery and expandable memory or maybe even whatever Google ARA comes out as.
