Well I Recently Bought A Laza ZCell Extended Battery For My Phone And I Ran Through The Calibration But I Noticed That The Battery Life Was Really Bad. I Wiped Phone And Flashed Embryo 6-11 And Charged It To 100. Turned It Off And 8 Hours Later Turned It Back On And It Was At 20%. I Then Decided To Test The Battery Alone So I Charged To 100 And Then Took It Out Of Phone And Waited For 7 Hours And Put It Back In And It Was At 98% So It Cant Be The Battery Going Bad. What Could Be Wrong With The Phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
Please, get gsam from the play store and post some screen shots.

The main screen, app screen, and click drop down in app screen...and do time held awake.

For starters. Otherwise anyone trying to help is just taking wild guesses.

Also, was it on WiFi or data? Weak signal? That's a battery killer big time on data.

Good luck! ;)

Oh...sorry. Dying with power off?

I'm going to say defective battery....or a phone hardware issue.

Off is off. The phone isn't draining battery when its off...at all. Tho battery will drop in slight steps....cause than just how it works.

But it cannot be software related anyway.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

It can be the battery. It could be shorted out. And just by being in the phone (contacts in use) it could be draining itself. Or the phone has an issue similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spirodave:
When you say Turned it off do you mean Turned the screen off ..? Or did you power it off .. If you powered it off and the battery drained , then its a bad battery ... Either way I have had problems with extended batteries ... If the battery is the same size as the stock battery and its supposed to be an extended battery then most likely it is just labeled as extended ... The weight of the battery will tell the truth...I have bought batteries that were bigger in size and required a over size cover on the back of the phone and it performed worse than the stock battery.. If the price is too good to be true it probably is .. I AM NOT SAYING THIS TRUE FOR ALL BATTERIES..But it sounds like this is the case with yours ... Hopefully something else caused this and it was a one time thing... If the phone was just sleeping and not powered off then it was draining at 10 percent an hour which is really high.. Mine drains at about 1.5 percent an hour to 2% an hour with wifi on and data on ...If it was powered off and drained like that maybe wipe your battery stats ..You could have been getting a bad reading of the battery which especially if you just flashed a new ROM...Good luck let me know if you fix it and how the battery performs over time I might buy one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Polarity_:
Well i charged it and took the battery out to test if the battery itslef is just draining when its out of the phone but it didnt drain when the battery was out of the phone but when i put it in again and left the phone off it started draining by itself. ill get the gsam battery monitor right now and post some screenshots
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
If your phone is powered off, screen shots done have anything because obviously they aren't running.

Or are you talking standby when you say "off"? Like screen off. Not completely powered off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Polarity_:
i mean completely powered off. the battery has gotten a bit better after some charge cycles. but its still dying pretty quickly regardless if its on or completely off. this is all while on airplane mode and having only wifi on

Also is there a way to check what the mAh of the battery is within the phone like an app ? .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
If the phone is off, no app or widget will help, or tell you anything....cause the phone is off....so the app is off. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Polarity_:
i know i just want to check if the extended battery is the intended mAh
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] yahyae:
My internal speaker that is on the LCD has no sound. When I try to call somebody using the LCD facing up, there is no sound in the internal speaker, but the 2 piece of the external speaker is no problem, and the internal speaker when the LCD face down also no problem, so I just have the problem with the internal speaker that is on the LCD (LCD facing up as PDA).

Some people said that this problem exist because of the radio roms, but I have upgraded my radio roms for 2 months, and I do not have problems for the past 2 months until last week. Can somebody please give me solutions, is the problem because of the hardware or the software.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] oxident:
I had the same problem. It suddenly appeared one morning and lasts a few days until I've started to "press" slightly on the housing of the display (especially where the speaker is).

Then the speaker started to produce some noisy sound and ... tadaa ... it worked again. In my case, the touchscreen started to have serious problems at the same time and it *also* started to work perfectly again after the speaker was fine.

It looks like there's a connector not sitting tight enough (either on the display or the main body) :?

[Moto X Q&A] timc01:
Moto X - T-Mobile

Added a new Exchange email account on the phone last week and all of a sudden I'm finding that emails are getting hung up in the outbox (using stock email app). Seems worse when on WiFi which could be an ISP issue, but also happening when on 4G LTE.

Happening on multiple accounts so not just limited to new account.

Any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] spjetrovic:
First off would like to say hello to the M8 community.

Just come from the S4

Here's a quick explanation, I rooted and installed SU 1.94, got root. Read and watched videos on how to s-off and unlock boot loader.

Set up phone for debugging . Installed drivers on Windows 7 and ADB during first attempt got to step two phone waiting on fire wire never got passed that. Deleted every thing and started over. Now ADB will not run looks Like the cmd isn't see the path. I really need some help, sent a good day trying this with no luck ?

I've have attached a screen of base band info. Help help plz.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
It would help if you were a little more descriptive. Do you have the ADB path set up in your Windows Environment Variables? If not you can just put everything where you have ADB "installed" and just run the command line prompt from within that folder to start. I'm not sure exactly what your problem is though...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] spjetrovic:
Thanks for the help!

I didn't think that I needed to record the issues, as I didn't expect to run into any. But I do see that I should have.

I will try your recommendation to run adb (Windows +right click, open command window) from the folder. This way no need to insert the path ,correct?

Xperia ZR • Pre-Rooted Stock 10.5.A.0.230

​

Hi everyone! :D

Today, the first 4.4 build of Sony for the Xperia ZR rolled out.

So, I've use DIY Guide by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] to build an pre-rooted version for you. (Me, I'll go back on custom ROM after testing that for you. ^^)

It's available for LB and UB.

Let's go! :)

Features :

Based on the firmware 10.5.A.0.230 (4.4.2) (Taiwan location for C5502, Nordic location for C5503)

Pre-Rooted

Built-in Dual Recovery [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] 's"XZDR"

Needed files :

For both (C5502/03) :

UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip (→ Paste it on sdcard)

ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip (→ Paste it on sdcard as well)

For C5502 (3G) :

Xperia ZR C5502 • Pre-Rooted 10.5.A.0.230 by Thibou.zip (→ Place on sdcard)

C5502_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf

For C5503 (4G/LTE) :

Xperia ZR C5503 • Pre-Rooted 10.5.A.0.230 by Thibou.zip (→ Place on sdcard)

C5503_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf

Installation :

If you coming from on 4.3 :

Flash 4.2.2 FTF or 4.1.2 FTF

Root your firmware with VRoot/Kingo etc (for 4.2.2) or with Doomlord's one (for 4.1.2)

Install Recovery

Boot to Recovery

Wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache and wipe Data/Factory reset

Flash Pre-Rooted Rom .zip file from Recovery

Flash "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from Recovery

Flash "ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip" from Recovery

Switch off your phone

Flash Stripped FTF with flashtool

Reboot your phone

First boot will take longer than usual boot.

You're done!

If you have LB with 4.2/4.3 and Recovery or UB :

Go to Recovery

Wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache and wipe Data/Factory reset

Flash Pre-Rooted Rom .zip file from Recovery

Flash "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from Recovery

Flash "ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip" from Recovery

Switch off your phone

Flash Stripped FTF with flashtool

Reboot your phone

First boot will take longer than usual boot.

You're done!

If you have trouble with recovery, delete the folder "XZDualRecovery" and reboot to recovery with the app "NDR Utils".

Please... Backup your data before starting.

And don't try dirty install. Make clean install to avoid lot of bugs. So, make all wipes.

​

That's great! Merci beaucoup.

Waiting you :)

i hope that you'll do it for both version C5502/C5503 :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] Thibou:
For now I have just made it for C5502, but yes, sure I will make it for C5503 ! ;) (I have a C5503. ^^)
[Sony Xperia ZR] hans3103:
How you did it, I want to try to do it myself also is there a thread about it?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Bry335:
Wow Pre-rooted 4.4, can't wait :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
I'm also on Carbon but ill flash this on my phone once uploaded to see what the changes are between JB and KK..

Great work tho to get it rooted so quickly!

Thanks button hit...
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Hmm.. that's great cuz my device is C5502 :D ,, Can't wait for it.. upload it quickly :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] AdX9170:
Can u make one for C5502 LB as well?
[Sony Xperia ZR] SZRUSer:
stupid question

Hey guys i have a stupid question cuz iam new to this

Pre-rooted Stock rom means its rooted?

Is there any risk in doing this?

and will the warranty be void?

will the bravia engine 2 disappear?

will i be able to use folder mount after this rom?

please someone answers these questions :):):D:cool:

and iam from egypt so France firmware will affect anything?
[Sony Xperia ZR] micheldjerzinski:
1.yes, it is rooted after flashing this.

2. If you mean your phone may become a brick, I can say that is very very unlikely. In case things go wrong, u should still be able to recover it to original condition. So the risk is really really small.

3.To do this, you must have your phone's bootloader unlocked, and that means a good bye to your warranty, of course. But if u use Backup TA (search in this forum) and a recovery tool, u can recover your phone and even relock the bootloader and warranty comes back ;)

4. Bravia Engine remains with you. This is an update, it can only be better than before, no way disappeared.

5. Honestly I don't know. But since Folder Mount supports 4.4, it should work here as well.

6. You should check your model if it is C5502 or C5503. If it is 5502, then no problem. If 5503 (in other words Egypt has LTE) I think you can't no longer use LTE :D in that case you should wait for someone making a prerooted version for C5503.
[Sony Xperia ZR] a7medsaif79:
No.. Egypt dosn't has lte

but why not for locked bootloader, i don't want to unlock mine

I have 4.3 prerooted installed and my bootloader is locked
[Sony Xperia ZR] micheldjerzinski:
Then you have to wait, or learn to DIY. Because it's harder to make it prerooted in locked bootloader, and also not many people out there worry about unlocking, so

LB versions always come later than their UB counterparts.
[Sony Xperia ZR] a7medsaif79:
So.. Do you think if i used TA backup it will be just like LB
[Sony Xperia ZR] shorty66:
So where is the download?
[Sony Xperia ZR] SZRUSer:
another question

Ok cool so how do i flash it do i need a custom recovery like samsung or what?

another question

is there any thing bad will happen if i unlocked bootloader ?? and btw iam c5502:cool:
[Sony Xperia ZR] Thibou:
Ok guys, I had connection problems. It's uploading now.

I've build the pre-rooted version for C5003 too.

Concerning locked bootloader (LB), actually it's possible to install this pre-rooted version but it's complex. I'll tell you what to do for LB.

As I said in OP, you will have the links today or tomorrow. Be a little bit patient. ;) It's a question of hours. I study during the day...
[Sony Xperia ZR] SZRUSer:
thanks

ok and thx for pre-rooting :):)
[Sony Xperia ZR] ming0070913:
My C5503 is locked and I installed a pre rooted 4.3. I downgraded to 4.1.2, rooted with doomlord rooting kit, installed dual recovery, then flash a pre rooted 4.3.

Will test the 4.4 once it is uploaded :D

[Sony Xperia ZR] mgdsukkar:

i have a c5502

excuse me for the bad English

this post is a root only or rom and root..????

and me ZR is 4.3 ... How to Refer to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ?( I did not understand this step)

thank for all
[Sony Xperia ZR] Thibou:
Did you try to plug the official Sony headphones with microphone then unplug it?

Or delete data of the app Liveware (in settings/apps).

It's the 4.4 ROM already rooted when you install it.

Concerning 4.3, do you know how to use Flashtool? You have to flash a 4.1.2 or a 4.2.2 firmware with Flashtool (you will find it on others XDA thread of the section. You have to do that because with locked bootloader (LB) on 4.3 you can't root and install any Recovery.

So, go on previous Android version, root it, install recovery, install my zip, and the 2 others zip, then flash the stripped ftf (firmware) on your phone.
[Sony Xperia ZR] akshay999:
Absolutely bro ;) its also unfair to think like that :D i just am awaiting the official release in india .. :P yesterday had emailed them got a response saying country region and all crap as usual lol :D Theres this music app which comes in indian release named Jive.. amazing stuff ;) thats why waiting either for indian ota or an ftf ..

Flashed it....all good. No problems with sound or bluetooth......as was mentioned do full wipe include cache before installing....big thanx to the developer :cool:

I did full wipe but it has the same effect bluetooth not working. Files for C5502 must be damaged

It's strange.

If another C5502 user can tell us if he has the same problem he will be cool. ;)

[Sony Xperia ZR] Tommylee567:
I am from Bangalore I don't want to flash the Indian regional one as there will be loads of crappy stuff. I love the generic version and it is good with the stock stuff. That is enough. Already we have to live with the bloatware (until Titanium Backup came) :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] akshay999:
[MENTION=4407903]pajoneer[/MENTION]

C5502 - All good. No sound related issues. Bluetooth works and scans fine..

As the OT says do a complete clean . Use the option New Rom Clean.. I guess that will clear all data. Install SuperSu fix.. Dual Recovery Zip.. Restart FLash Kernel ftf.. restart..

This was what i did .. If you did the same once try to factory reset .. see if that solves issues..

I have doubt regarding a TW app its in taiwanese i suppose.. What is that app in English? i use system app uninstaller and i could not find any taiwanese text named app in it :P Please help [MENTION=4616493]Thibou[/MENTION] i would like to remove it .. could not find it myself..

I love the Jive app from our region..Love the way it allows us to download all the sony music songs ( The problem with using the App from another device is i can access the songs but it does not give login option and the one for our device has the login thing..maybe device specific.... they do have many contests going on.. )... :victory:

flashed the pre-rooted C5502, it's working smooth so far, no problems at all

everything is working fine (Sound, Bluetooth, Screen Rotate, Vibration, Camera, Flash..etc)

i was not able to go into recovery first, but i just followed the instructions.. deleted the "XZDualRecovery" folder, and entered recovery using "NDR Utils" only for the first time, after that i'm able to enter recovery while booting by pressing Volume Up

The only issue i've noticed is the scrolling lag in settings menu, and it's easily FIXED by going to Developer Options and enable "Force GPU rendering"

just give me 2-3 days guys and i'll full review the ROM, but i think that it's Perfect for now :)

Test on locked bootloader C5503

upgrade from rooted 4.3

This ROM is working perfectly
[Sony Xperia ZR] Thibou:
Did you try to press "Vol -" key or "Vol +" key when you see "SONY"?
[Sony Xperia ZR] moolash:
LB+4.2.2

Just to make sure, if already on rooted 4.2.2 with CWM Recovery, it does not matter that my bootloader is locked, does it?

OP says "If you are on 4.2/4.3 with Recovery or UB " which was not obvious at first.

And by the way, what is the region or version of the Prerooted 4.4? (TW? Nordic? )

Thanks and I appreciate your work.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Thibou:
You have on 4.2 with working recovery so you have to fallow the instructions for "If you are on 4.2/4.3 with Recovery or UB " :)

Concerning location it depend of your model. For C5502 it's TW, for C5503 it's Nordic.
[Sony Xperia ZR] moolash:
That is magnifique :D Thanks, buddy.

I think I will flash this over the weekend. I have already done stock, but without root it is not worth the trouble and effort. I have managed to do a great CWM backup, so I can always come back to 4.2.2

People say even Folder Mount works, so I will give it a try. I just hate reinstalling everything - Titanium Backup cannot always restore anything, especially when it is a newer FW.
