I'm not very active here but I believe all of your questions can be answered within existing threads and/or a few Google searches. You probably haven't gotten a response because of that. There are even forums for each model of the phone.

I bet if you do a bit of research and come back with a more specific question that is posted within a related thread, you will see a response.

The folks here are really helpful but it's a lot to ask them to rewrite/repost information that is already posted and can easily be found.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
It may be the structure of your post. No one knows where to start.

If maybe you'd thrown a couple of questions out, you would have gotten answers. I read it three times and it's still WTF.

And the post above mine is correct. Goggling for the phone differences on your own, eliminates cluttering up the forum with answers you could have already found, and may already have.

Basically the N7100 and N7105 are the international versions of the Note 2. Each carrier, Sprint, TMO, Verizon, ATT has their own version of the software basically to load all their own crapware on it.

So there are different versions of ROMS supporting those carriers, with radio files to support their networks.

I installed the apk and it seems to have (at least partially) fixed the battery drain with location.
[Xperia Z General] zarg404:
I confirm that the battery drain related to "google play service" is fixed with "Google Play Services 5"
[Xperia Z General] unix72:
How did you do?

I also had installed the new apk, but then it's only fixed a little bit. I still have battery drain :(

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] Cenobite_:
I installed the apk, cleared the cache, rebooted and Bob's your uncle!
[Xperia Z General] fernando823:
It does not fix the issue for the majority of the people, certainly not for me.

I am really pissed of with all of these.
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
Installed it, fixed the issue for me as it seems. Also updated Google Search with the latest APK.
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
Still got the other bugs but so far my Xperia Z has no Drain with everything switched back on, but I'm giving it longer to be sure.
[Xperia Z General] unix72:
It doesn't work for me.

But if I turn off all the position (GPS) in Setting, then it seem helped with battery drain.

I don't know why?!?!
[Xperia Z General] navin2max:
Fix has solved all problems

The fix has seriously solved all problems regarding battery drain, and the usage of Xperia Z2 apps (Eg: Live on Youtube).

This makes the Xperia Z compatible for usage of the Kit Kat Operating system:angel:
[Xperia Z General] warface:
It certainly worked for me, up to now anyway.

Full location services on, Google Now on with transport, weather and travel times on.
[Xperia Z General] deerhurst:
Seems to have fixed it for me too. Just turned on high accuracy location so we shall see any difference.
[Xperia Z General] luala:
I tried the version .58, still have the battery drain problem in google play service. Not working for me.

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Sorry, the version i tried is 5.0.81.
[Xperia Z General] jerryhou85:
I've installed the apk from OP and put Location back to ON. Will report status on battery drain issue, if any...
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
sorry wrong thread!
[Xperia Z General] warface:
Root what?
[Xperia Z General] DerHerrStefan:
Manually updated to 5.0.81, switched on all location services and no battery drain. For me no problems any more...
[Xperia Z General] jerryhou85:
After using these for a day, it seems the battery usage has been improved a lot but still not comparable to previous 4.3 ROM. Will see how it goes in the following week.
[Xperia Z General] Tuckycv:
I'm getting Google play services battery drain. The funny part is, I wasn't suffering much in previous Google play services version. Now on 5 I'm getting the drain plus heating cellphone while sitting on my desk. What gives.
[Xperia Z General] amar92:
I flashed Cyanogenmod 11 (latest nightly) last night and installed the Google Services 5.0 apk and got the same problem as you, it really drained the battery fast, so I uninstalled the update and its back to normal now (version 4.4.52) - Try installing that version it might help you :)
[Xperia Z General] Tuckycv:
Can't revert update don't know why. Also sadly my bootloader is unlock able so no Cm. I don't know when I was updated to 5.x so I'll see if in a couple of days I get better results.
[Xperia Z General] amar92:
You should try to turn of Android Device Manager (or something like that) as an administrator, and then you should be able to revert the update. Anyway, hope you'll resolve that problem.
[Xperia Z General] Tuckycv:
Right now I'll try everything. It is ridiculous the drain. I'll let you know.
[Xperia Z General] Mobe1969:
Very odd but my gps is showing version 5.0.82
[Xperia Z General] warface:
My drain is back after about 3 days on this new Play Services :mad:
[Xperia Z General] jerryhou85:
seems the new version only improves a little, not a fix...
[Xperia Z General] Kamy-R:
this is my drain....

I've never seen like this :(
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
Suffered this for over a week now trying all different suggestions including new Play Services Apk's.

Finally....

Went to Settings/Apps/All/Google Play Services/Wipe Cache/Manage Space and clear all in there too.

Reboot, charge to 100% and after nearly three days, all seems stable now.

Wifi - On

LTE - On

Gps - On

Location - On

Backup - On
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
My phone lasts 7h in standby... Play Services 5.0 and still not fixed, it's been almost a year... hopeless.
[Xperia Z General] skylinrcr01:
I'm getting the drain issues now too, in addition to stamina rebooting by phone at random. The kitkat update seems to be super buggy. :(
[Xperia Z General] zviki:
It works nice for me. At least for now. Much better than before.
[Xperia Z General] warface:
Its a fault of Google and the play service, not Sony.

Other handsets are suffering the same drain.
[Xperia Z General] Gio_ital:
I'm not suffering from battery drain, it may be because I removed things like Google+, Google search etc. and I greenify Google play and Google play services.

See that :
[Xperia Z General] Cenobite_:
It seems that the .77 update is the only one that fixes the battery drain. .81 and .82 suffer from battery drain again. I unstalled .82 and installed .77. Hopefully this time it will stay fixed. Not gonna update for a while now.
[Xperia Z General] fernando823:
True for me as well, .77 partially fix it but .81 and .82 are same as before.
[Xperia Z General] doclloyd:
There's another update that came out last night .84. It seems my phone already downloaded it.

My ZL (I know wrong forum) was really good yesterday, but woke up with it constant awake today. All I turned back on was travel time between home and work in Google Now. We'll see.
[Xperia Z General] Cenobite_:
I downgraded to .77 yesterday but this morning I found .84 installed on my phone. Even though I have disabled automatic updates in Google Play. How can I prevent updating Google Play Services? Just in case I downgrade to 77 again.
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
The same thing happened to me, but 84 doesn't seem to be keeping the phone awake so I'm leaving it.

I think the whole idea is that Google can update Play services without having to go through anyone, which is good when it fixes things but not good when it breaks them!
[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
I've been able to safely disable/uninstall GMS core / Google play services apk on 101 firmware (JB 4.3). I've noticed that the app becomes essential for logging into Google play store on KitKat 4.2+. This app is the primary reason for wake locks, battery drain and general poor performance in all KitKat versions. Can anyone suggest a method in KitKat wherein Google play store can be made too work without this app? My Google account login is only for accessing play store & downloading free apps, no gmail, music, talk, hangouts, G+, games, magazines, movies, contacts sync, calendar sync, settings & app sync newsstand, nothing else other than a login for using the play store.

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Xperia Z General] lonixlon:
Hope this gets fixed once and for all soon, really quite sick of it tbh.
[Xperia Z General] Gio_ital:
If you uninstall all those apps that you don't need (especially g+) you will have no battery drain.

Oh, and I also greenify google play services and Google play store and I have a battery life as I never had before 4.4

I'm using Uninstall App Master from the play store to uninstall unnecessary apps ;)

You may try disable service from play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice

Application allready show which services running. You can disable whatever you want.

I've disabled location services of google play services. Still all applications work properly. Maps etc.

Ps. Also can disable silly push services of user app, that force them to run alltime.
[Xperia Z General] Sossa_A4:
Tried it and like it.

Only one question, what do the blue lines mean within the systemapps ? Does that mean it Is safe to disable that? Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z General] eryen:
Blue ones means, they are running now. So you can see which service is running.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baubbelayponge:
Hello,

This night I left my phone plugged in to charge it.

When I woke up 6h30 later, it was boiling hot and not just hot like the times I play games on it. It was hot all over, front and back!

I unplugged it and the phone switched off by itself.

I waited 15 minutes for it to cool and then switched it back on.

It's working fine but I'm afraid it's lifespan has been dramatically reduced.

I've attache the battery settings screen after the incident.

Apparently, the phone charge blocked something like half an hour after being plugged in and the overheat lasted 6 hours...

And the security system activated only after unplugging.

My questions :

Do you think the phone could be badly damaged?

Is there a way to check the battery temp history?

If the phone still works fine, should I still give google a call?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electrospaz:
I've been experiencing hear issues lately as well. I looked into weekdays running in the background and what is keeping my phone awake. Tweaked a few songs here and there. So far it hasn't been getting quite as hot, but it's just my first day results.

A while ago I was using a third party charger overnight from 10% or so. After roughly 6 hours it was only at 49%and screaming hot. Changed up chargers since and haven't had that issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk0108:
Use the charger provided along with the device or one with a similar ampere rating for best results.

and for your above battery issue try to switch off the device and charge, see if that helps. If it's just a calibration issue then it'll be fixed. Otherwise you'll have to get the battery replaced.

Hello Guys,I searched for Lewa Os 5 for MT6572 but I didn't find any.So,I thought to download MT6582 as these chips are in combination like MT6589 to MT6577.I downloaded Wiko darkmoon . [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] created or ported it.I want it for my use,If got successful then I will take permission from him.I patched the rom with my stock files.The updater-script was just fine with exactly same mount points as in my Xolo A500s.I unpacked boot.img with michfood's packing and unpacking tools ,but the thing that I am worried is the boot.img of 6 mb shrinked to 4 mb!I just edited init.rc and added bootclasspath of lewa.

But,it didn't boot.I think I need to replace my ram disk in my boot with wiko dark moon's boot ram disk.Could I port this way?

Is it possible to port MT6582 to MT6572?It's my first time of cross-porting.

Please,I need some help on this!
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
Hi

A: Rom was built from scratch ( not an port ), i used LeWa patchroom ( just like MIUI's patchroom).

LeWa patchroom is Closed Source (proprietary) so i can't help you with that

B: You should be able to "port" it to your device, concerning kernel:

- Use ( mandatory) LeWa's ramdisk

- If your kernel after repack is smaller, thats rather normal , its just an question of compression %.

Also since we are talking about port of diff SoC's there are other things that you'll need to fix:

- SoC ID on updater-script; ramdisk: build.prop; etc.

- Also keep in mind that LeWa itself its an themed rom, so its uses an 2nd framework ( lewa-res) that works under the main one, you may need to patch other things in the process.

--> For this, check the MT65xx porting thread, its very usefull.

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] nightwalker:
Thanks for your infomative reply.Ok,I done most the things.Rather than replacing ram disk,I added bootclasspath in init.rc

How can I make lewa from scratch?I haven't heard it before.
[General Questions and Answers] navneetasnavi:
Give a try to This

Anyone know how to unlock these devices. I have a line on a TMobile version but I am moving to Cingular and will need to unlock it.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] lvlolvlo:
you can request the unlock code from t-mobile.
[HTC Excalibur] Zionerd:
yea i'm in the same boat...the only thing is you have to be with tmobile for 3 months plus before you can request an unlock code
[HTC Excalibur] love2digg:
Hopefully, after the phone is out for a couple of weeks people will start coming up with customizations.

This phone has a lot of potential
[HTC Excalibur] monakh:
This is unlike any T-Mo device that I have unlocked in the past (and I have unlocked several in my 6+ years with them).

I put in a request for a SIM unlock on 10/26 and they sent me an email yesterday saying that the unlock code must be requested directly from the manufacturer (HTC) and can take up to TWO weeks. And they said they cannot guarantee that it will be received at ALL!

This is weird. Right now I am abroad and the Dash is useless to me. Here's to hoping that HTC comes through and I can unlock this. If not, it's time to donate some more money to Buzz :)
[HTC Excalibur] Zionerd:
the folk over at imei check have just released and unlock for the dash. Try it out and let us know how it works...good luck
[HTC Excalibur] motin:
a link

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php
[HTC Excalibur] monakh:
No way in heck am I paying for an unlock. If I wanted an unlocked device I would have gotten a S620. This is an issue for T-Mo to sort out and they will.

Barring that, I would rather give my money in a donation to either xda-dev or Buzz. That's just me though. Not everyone has my patience...or thinking.
[HTC Excalibur] Zionerd:
Just spoke to tmobile customer rep...they said 72hrs approx to find the code based on imei to unlock...however if the time period extends 72hrs its because they have to contact the manufacture to request the code...something tells me it will be the latter instead of the former...errrr
[HTC Excalibur] DanITman:
This comment makes absolutly no sense. Your willing to pay an extra $200 to have a device that is just SIM unlocked. The S620 isn't even CID unlocked yet. But you are unwilling to pay $40.00 to get a T-Mobile version both CID and SIM unlocked. Are you crazy? The T-Mobile code isn't going to CID unlock the phone for you.
[HTC Excalibur] slocko:
one more thing. tmo told me that if you buy the phone from the tmo store, you have to wait 14 days for the return period to expire, before they can even address your unlock request.

maybe the rep was misinformed, but she looked into it.
[HTC Excalibur] RazrV3:
This is true, I've done a search on t-mobile's support website for SIM Unlock. And the restrictions and policy says you have to at a minimum wait 14 days, It also mentions that your account must be active for longer than a 90 day period. And you have to wait a minimum of 90 between each unlock request.
[HTC Excalibur] monakh:
It makes sense to me, dude :)

Dan, it's not about the money at all. I was referring to spending money on an unlocked phone in general, whether it was through imei-check or through HTC. Granted, it's less money to get it CID-unlocked but for me it's a matter of principle. I would rather spend my hard earned money on a community effort that helps all Excalibur users. I would gladly give $100 or more to Buzz if he can come up with a solution to help the entire Excal community. I don't even own a Universal, yet I donated to Buzz's cause in that effort.

You probably don't understand, but you don't have to. Like I said, it just needs to make sense to me.
[HTC Excalibur] DanITman:
I understand what you are talking about. I misunderstood you before....my bad.

I too would pony up money to have someone come up with an unlocker for Excalibur. The more popular the device is the more likely an unlocker will be developed.
