Make sure your infra red is also off, receive all beams is unticked.

Presumably you're not using any over clocking software? They disable the idle mode detection so make the battery less efficient, even at slow clocked speeds.

I think That's the Radio or Hard device error.

If other Rom have not This issue. I think that's this rom make it .
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] weasel:
There are a number of threads regarding batteries and new ROM versions and I think the concensus is that its the battery and it is just coincidence about the new ROM.

I have had my device for about 8 months and it has behaved well until a few weeks ago when it started to shut-down at 70-80% battery. The shutdown only occured when I had a heavy drain on the device e.g. when using GPRS or phone and I started to think that the battery was dying and the heavy current drawn by the radio caused the battery voltage to drop below a sustainable threshold for powering the device - hence the shutdown. £20 later I have a new battery (from eBay) and can go 1-2 days without charging. I am leaving the old battery on charge for several days to see if it can be salvaged
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Lawman:
Thank you help, But I return to the old version ROM. the batteries is OK. I don't know how to explain them

Try measuring the power consumption with acbPowerMeter and post your results so that we can see your device indeed has problems or not. See my related articles for more info (cross-posted to the General forum in here).

My Universal power consumption

With BT on and Wifi off power is at 642 mA...

Is it bad or good?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Lawman:
What that's mean?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] durius:
it means that the device has bt turned of, and also wifi turned of and acbmeter indicates a power consumption of 642
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simon_darley:
I also seem to have started incurring a problem with battery, it is shutting down the device at 50%, and yes there was a slight draing GPRS and Push Email running, and trying to make a phone call.

It only really happened today, and am at a loss as to the cause. I would guess, the battery is 1 year old and probably needs replacing.

i have been using two different 3.2 roms ltcmdr, then jw's for a while now and no problems until today.

I suspect its the age of the battery. I am in the process of trying to suck the battery down as far as I can, then recharge it.

It appears to do a complete shutdown every 2% from 50% to 40%, I am now trying to get it to less than 40%.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] srmz:
My original battery lasted me for about 8 months when I started experiencing the shutdown / hanging problem whenever the charge would drop to 35%. I replaced the battery with a new original battery and all went okay. Unfortunately my second battery is only 5 months old and I have started experiencing the same problem again although this time the problem is occurring at a charge level of 15%. When the battery reaches this level and I try to connect GPRs or make or receive a call the unit hangs. If I try to soft reset I cannot do so till I connect the external charger.

I think such a low battery life is simply unacceptable.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] EXEC/JASJAR:
Ever wonder how a battery tells the system that it is full and to stop charging?

If you get a new battery, take the old one down to somewhere below 100% -then install a new ROM and see what the battery meter reads after the hard reset.

The system must recognize a point which would be monitored and recognized as "full battery". When installing new ROM's, the system takes the battery power at the time of the install as 100%. This is why it is reiterated in almost all ROM upgrade instructions:

"Your device battery must be fully charged before installing this ROM".

However, I'm not so keen as to have a fix; but I've noticed that when the battery is fully charged and the device is then unplugged, turned on and then off, then plugged back in...it seems to charge alot longer than what I would expect necessary to reach 100% once again.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarhsredda15:
Maybe some one can help me out here....recently purchased a Z2 and everything is running wonderfully on it, BUT I have struggled to get get good quality out of the earpiece. I can not pinpoint what the problem is, and my service provider and local Sony Centre refuse to help me out because the phone is imported. Almost every single call I have made has a terrible static, tinny sound. At times its better, other times I cannot even hear the other person on the other line. I have changed sim cards which didn't really help, tried other service provider sim cards which helped only a little. The strange thing is that when I run the diagnostics app on the phone, my ringtone playing through the earpiece is crystal clear and sounds really good. Also if I plug headphones in, the call quality improves immensely. I have read that the .314 firmware upgrade is supposed to enhance the call quality of the Z2 but I'm not sure if its addressing the specific issue I am having, also the firmware update is not available yet in my country. I don't want to send the phone back to Europe even though I have a warranty through the retailer that sold me the phone because who knows how long it will take for them to sort this out?! Has anyone experienced what I am experiencing? Do all Z2's have crappy, static, tinny call quality?:(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirby76:
Hey there, sadly i experienced the same. I came from SGSIII, and the difference of call quaility is not compareable. I've heard and read that this is a Sony illness and there's been long time ago. Recently i flashed .314 ROM however that hasn't been released in my country either. I don't want to depress you but the quality hasn't changed at all. Tried every f....ing Sound Settings, but not a step forward.

I'm desperately waiting for the next release of firmware, maybe there'll be some improvement.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarhsredda15:
Thanks for the feedback. Today I started using a different service provider and I must say that the calls have improved a lot. Will be testing more networks through out the week, but i think the call quality issues may be network related! The calls still have a fuzzy quality to them but not as bad.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirby76:
Interesting. My provider(T-mobile) says they provides HD call quality. Honestly: i believe them. Ridiculous, the first Ericsson phone i had gave me better sound. I think it's all software related, c'mon Sony, don't ruin this great phone with this annoying incident.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarhsredda15:
I must say its a really confusing issue. I am getting mixed results on the other sim so far, when the calls are good then they are GREAT! I have reverted back to my old sim and am now getting OK call quality, still fuzzy but bearable. It just confuses me that the diagnostics tests gives me a lovely rich sound out of the earpiece, but then an actual call is absolute rubbish! Maybe its an antennae issue???

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] d0ug:
Make sure you are also paired as handsfree and not just headset. I know my Jabra BT250v defaults to headset, which means the button is inactive. You have to hold the volume up button while powering up, and continue holding untill the headset is ready for pairing in order to pair as hands free.

Instructions will vary depending on headset, check your user manual.

Im not so sure if this is what you want , But I would recommend MTK droid tools ,

The tool was built for chinese MTK based phones but can almost read every android phone basic board and software information like hardware , board , android version , kernel version and IMEI's ( I have used it to read some spreadtrum , samsung phones etc )

And if your phone has an MTK hardware then you can use the tool to back up your phone before you decide to flash another rom so as to be on the safe side if anything goes wrong .

You can get it here Deposit files or 4shared and Mediafire

and in addition if it is MTK , be sure to visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730031 and if its a spreadtrum phone then visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2165554

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dece870717:
Had regular galaxy s4 from att since it came out, never did any rooting or anything, updating to kitkat Ota when it was released and had no issues until about a week ago. I did a factory data reset because of too much junk on the phone and wanted to reorganize a bit, backed up everything using kies 3 and ever since then my data/signal cuts out randomly everyday, all day long. The more I text I noticed the more it drops, and then goes from LTE to 4g and it'll stay that way until some random amount of time, disconnect again, back to LTE once in a while but mostly be 4G. I heard of some issues with the kitkat update causing various issues like this but don't understand how a simple factory reset and restore screwed it all up or if it's even that. Tried full format, reflashing entire stock firmware and has done absolutely nothing for remedying the problem. Is it possible it's a sim card issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] No1sadvocate:
I have been having the same problems since I took an OTA update. LTE is very intermittent in places I know it is available and I randomly lose my cell connection for brief periods, which is a huge pain for SMS. I just flashed NB1 with ODIN and everything worked for the brief time before I updated to NC1 (LTE, no connection drop). When I updated to NC1 I started experiencing problems again. I subsequently tried flashing back to the NB1 modem to no avail :(

I tried ATT support at one point and they reset some stuff on their end (a while ago so I don't remember what) but that did nothing.

Anyone with any insight here would be my hero. This has been plaguing me since december.

Update: Tried re-flashing NC1 modem twice via ODIN with manual reboot. Still no LTE, not sure about connection drops yet.

+2 to this issue. My wife and I both have the same problem as you've described, and it's gotten progressively worse with time. The worst part is that the phone seems to think that cellular connectivity is still there as I still have bars. However, data, phone and text capabilities are all dead. The only fix is a reboot, and it's short lived.

I've read on another forum that disabling 3G and 4G eliminates the problem, but then you're stuck with basically no mobile data...
