[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
Running Cyanogenmod latest nightly.

So, I wanted to use another Dialer. I didn't particularly like the built in one. I installed one and it seemed to be competing with the original. As in, I'd still see screens from the built in dialer appear. I disabled that one and tried another. Same result.

In my wisdom, I decided to disable the built in. OOPS

Now I cannot answer calls. I hear it ring but there is no answer/cancel screen. if I open a 3rd party dialer, still no way to answer, Eventually the call is missed and I can dial messagebank to retrieve a message if one was left. However also, once I dial out, I do not get the usual 'dialling' screen. just the initial dialer/log screen with keypad. I have very little control.

I must have also uninstalled it because I cannot find it to re-enable it. Have downloaded another 2 dialer apps which changes nothing.

I downloaded the latest nightly hoping that would reinstate the dialer. Did not help.

How do I fix this?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
Hi guys,

I have been here a while, tried few ROMs but I can't decide and that's why I am asking for an advice. Which ROM is better in a battery life? I am using stock 4.4.4 right now with stamina on, and I hardly get 3,5-4hrs of onscreen time. I am using a smartband which is connected all the time via bluetooth and I am aware that it may use some battery, but still it is very disappointing. I've checked my wakelocks many times and nothing suspicious was found so I am seeking a different solution.

The question is:

Is GPe better? How much of onscreen time do you have without using any batter savers like DS Battery, or 2x Battery? I tried to use GPe ROM once but I was paranoid and thought that I have kind of a battery drain.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
Usually the Sony rom has better battery life. For me at least. I get an average of 5 hours screen time or more, without stamina mode. I don't use a smartband though so i can't say anything about that. GPe rom had worse battery for me, anyway. Especially the standby time is far better on stock Sony. 4-5% drain overnight vs barely 1% drain overnight. I pick stock Sony for better battery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
Thanks for your input. I have an 4-5% overnight drop on stock, so I assume that smartband with its advertised BT 4.0 LE isn't as easy on battery as I thought.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It all depends on what you're doing with your Ultra, and what type of apps you're using.

I can squeeze out around 6 hours of screen time if I feel like it, but I normally get around 5 hours on a regular day. I don't really play games (maybe a couple of minutes of Threes), but I use Hangouts, read a lot of news (using Press) and reading some more using Pocket and Google Books.

I don't know what type of smartband you're using, but KitKat supports BLE (Low Energy Bluetooth), so be sure that your smartband also supports it, so it doesn't run on "regular" full powered Bluetooth. BLE uses very little battery and you shouldn't really notice any major shifts in battery usage by using it.

Are you using an IM app like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or Snapchat? These types of apps are known to drain batteries like crazy.

I'm running the GPe ROM BTW. Keep in mind that your battery life won't be good after flashing a new ROM. It'll need a couple of charges again, so be sure to completely drain your battery to 0% after flashing, and charge it up to 100% before removing it from the charger (to calibrate the internal battery monitor).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
I am not a big gamer also, I very rarely play games. Mainly I am reading xda and news on the internet like you.

I use Sony Smartband and it supports LE, but after reading your post I realized that the app which downloads and process the data from it may be a battery hogger (Lifelog app).

Yeah, I have WhatsApp installed but use it rather occasionaly and when it comes to battery calibration, I try to recalibrate it by draining it to 0% almost everytime.

What brightness settings guys are you using?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Try not to drain the battery completely every day. Put it on the charger before it turns itself off, or else you risk damaging the battery cells down the road. It's fine to do it a couple of times a month though. I use auto-brightness, so I guess it's around 50-60% most of the time. I have it at 100% when i'm out in the sun though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
Oh and there's no point in using battery savers. They tend to decrease battery life for me :P i usually keep the brightness fixed at 70% and i constantly use Viber and Whatsapp. Yet a 1% drain overnight without Stamina mode. So i guess the problem lies with your Lifelog app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
Thanks for all advices guys.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I am on the GPe 4.4.4 ROM with DoomKernel v20, DS Battery Saver and Greenify. The drain with WiFi on is around 0.9% per hour in standby, screen on time lies somewhere between 5-6 hours.

As a reference, I recently flashed my Xperia Z with Ultimate PureX stock based ROM (I use that device mostly as a camera with QX10 and for experiments). When I compare those two, I prefer GPe.

I feel that the combination of Google/Sony vanilla and Sony apps together with Xposed Framework gives a better experience, especially with the Ultra 240 DPI phablet mode. The Sony ROMs based on 4.4.x break the notification bar on 240 DPI, unfortunately (at least Monxdified based on .757).

It is worth to mention that the GPe ROM can be equipped with Sony Album, Clock, Movies, Notes, Sketch and Walkman etc - even Sony launchers are available for it. So it is possible to get a vanilla experience with great Sony apps on the side, without having to go back to a Sony based ROM.

On the other hand: If there's confirmation that the "240 DPI breaks the notification bar" problem has been solved in .108 - it would be great. To me, the Ultra needs 240 DPI phablet mode in order to be really enjoyable.

Same Problem

Hi all,

I also have tried flashing my q3000 (kitkat out of the box) with MIUI custom Rom. Everything works fine but the camera app wont work. Tried installing lenovo super camera but no luck. I was told by Dr. Avi that these roms are Build on android 4.2, may be thats why the problem. Flashing the stock deodexed ROM also didnt help. I am going try to firmware update my phone to 4.2, then get a recovery img for JB and try flashing the custom ROMs. May be it will help. Will post my experience soon.

Meanwhile Devs please come up with custom ROMs for KK users. :D

Argg!

I was playing a game on my G3 (UK 16GB) and it got SUPER hot!

It turned off and now will not turn back on. It's stuck on the LG initial splash screen.

I've done all the usual (remove battery, power + volume down, recharge battery etc) but I'm stuck.

Any suggestions before I return it today?

I'm sad ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
I would say return it man.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Has the phone called back down yet?

Don't try to turn it on until its cooled down.

Take the battery out and leave the back door off for half hour then try again.

Just so we know, did you turn Thermal Throttling off in the hidden menu? If so, this is a prime example of why I have been telling people not to do this.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
This thought did cross my mind as well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShiroEd:
Hey Lenny,

I didn't turn Thermal Throttling off. And I would also advise people to not do that.

I've just returned from CPW with a brand new handset! FYI the 28 day replacement policy starts from the day you receive the phone so I was still covered. Just!

I did all the things you suggest. It was stone cold and it still wouldn't get past the LG boot screen. Also the little sparkly animation on the LG letters wasn't playing which suggests it borks out very early on in the boot sequence.

I really hope we don't start to see this more.

Fingers crossed!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Good luck with the new phone then.

However, when I try to screencast and play a video from Chrome browser or play a video file from Drive and try to screencast it picture is perfect but audio is totally distorted. When I try the same video on my Nexus it just sounds fine.

[Sprint LG G3] geetee360:
So figured I'd go ahead and add a thread about this here for us Sprint users that are experiencing the problem with the Aux cable. Its a known issue and I'd link to a couple other posts, but I'm still a "noob"

I was a little upset to find that I wasn't able to use my phone to Pandora in the car.

However....

Today I got it to work, and here is how: I had the stereo set to the CD player when i plugged the AUX cable in and the icon stayed in the notification bar. Then I launched Pandora and let it start playing. THEN I switched the stereo to AUX mode, and it played fine my entire trip to work. Still experienced the "hot plug" sound between tracks, but I think I can deal with it.
[Sprint LG G3] Killa357:
I recall having an issue with my samsung headphones. They didn't work at one point, I rebooted and they were fine. The phone didn't even detect them for some reason. I've had no issues with aux in my car (aside from needing a new cable), however I thought it would be worth mentioning that my Note 2 had an issue with aux when it is on any AOSP ROMs. Selecting any app, even swiping the notification window down, sometimes even just leaving the music app and going back will stop the music from playing. The only solution for this was to go to the home screen unplug the aux start music playing and plug the cable back in and touch no other app. Again, it never did this with stock. I even went back to stock briefly because of this. AOSP seems to throw a fit with the aux cables.
[Sprint LG G3] infernosoft:
I had issues with AUX today as well. Thought it was my specific phone but I'm relieved to know it's common....and perhaps a software issue.
[Sprint LG G3] gorillaz1:
Yeah I have it as well...I've found if I start Spotify, then plug in the AUX cord from my car, it works fine.
[Sprint LG G3] wolfhelm:
So I think I know the answer to this one.

It seems to have to do with how cars and some other devices treat aux inputs. For the most part it appears (at least in the case of my Prius) that with the input switched to aux the phone would not consistantly stay aux mode. What it seems like was happening is that the car doesnt actually 'activate' the aux port unless it senses a completed circuit (ie: audio playing). I have to believe this has to do with preventing feedback.

Unfortunately it seems the phone does the exact same thing. The headphone or aux symbol appears on insert of the cable because the phone senses the initial connection but then finds no load on the circuit thus assuming it is not connected and disables the port. You end up with basically an electronic stalemate. Neither one engaging cause they sense nothing from the other side. No load on the circuit.

Bear in mind this is completely dependent on the device you are connecting to your phone, as to whether it does what I'm talking about. Likewise, those experiencing popping or similar during song or track changes would basically be experiencing the same issue as during the song change the phone stops playing audio and your car kills the port. When the car kills the port, the phone kills the port, or is in the process of it when the next song starts.

To counteract this I bought an audio cable with a ground loop circuit built in. It is designed to remove the buzz from car aux audio due to the phone or other device being charged through the car's power system. But the added benefit is that it creates an artificial load on the line that the phone senses. Same idea as plugging in headphones as the earphone on the headphones creates a load on the line in the same way.

This is the audio cable I bought. Works like a charm every time, although one warning. I did experience one case of very loud static when unplugging it through the speakers in my car because of the fact that the car and the phone believe the circuit constantly is active and thus do not kill the connection to save your hearing. So be careful to only plug or unplug it when the input is not active or the car is off.

http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Reducing-SmartPhone-including-iPhone/dp/B0031U1ATQ/

It does appear that Amazon has put the item under review for now, though I'm not sure why as mine works flawlessly, but any similar car aux noise reducing cable would work, assuming its decent quality.

An aux cable with an in-line volume control should peform similarly due to the load created by the potentiometer, although it wouldnt remove the charger buzz.

Something like this:
