[Sony Xperia L] adil089:
I don't experience any unusual overheating or battery drain. The battery backup could be better but to me seems fine. What kernel are you using?

Its just stock, m talking about day to day operations just normal, device getting heated resulting in quick battery drainage

Privacy Guard Issue

I am facing an issue with privacy guard. I observed that after reboot many apps for which i enabled privacy guard gets disabled. It happens after every reboot. It does not happen with all the apps for which i enabled it, many apps have privacy guard enabled after reboot but many apps privacy guard are disabled after every reboot.

Anyone with any solution?
[Sony Xperia L] nishuksd:
Thank You David for the Reply!!

I was asking about the bug in lockscreen, sometimes we have to press power more than 10 times to turn the display on. Is that fixed?

And also there was a bug in network selection, if we try to select the network Manually, it used to give error.

i have problems no HDR in google camera
[Sony Xperia L] DecentM:
Both the front and back facing camera is fine for me, and it seems to autofocus after a while.

However, I too have some (insignificant) problems, which possibly lead to the same source.

While using the latest (LS-KK-v3.2-2014-09-02-taoshan) build as my daily driver, I noticed that the stock headset's button is incorrectly binded. It is currently functioning as an enter key (if I open an app, and there is a selection outline, pressing the headset button results in launching said selection), and not as the media key.

I tried factory resetting, clearing everything and then installing to no avail.

AFAIK, you can't do that by default, but there is an Xposed module called "ScreenOffAnimation", with which you can achieve it by setting both the screen off, and screen on animation to off.

How to update ROM to latest Nightlies with our losing Data??

Hi Friends....

I am on Liquid smooth LS-KKv3.2-2014-08-25

I am in love with this ROM.Previously i used CM11 but found this more useful.

Very Stable,More functionality,Good Battery Backup,Smooth Interface ..

Now i am downloading LS-KKv3.2-2014-09-07 to my computer.

Could please tell me how to update to this with out losing data???

What is the difference between flashing ROM downloaded from COMputer & download via Update in Phone?( I mean any loss of Apps+Data & settings etc..Anyway i don't want to loose those ones..)

Whether after Flashing of ROM,cleaning of CACHE(System & Dalvik) is necessary???( I have not done so far after flashing of any ROM)

Kindly suggest the right procedure.

Waiting for Help...
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
No difference if you downloaded from PC or liquid updater

You can easily flash without lose your data

There is 2 methods to upgrade

1.download latest zip and place it in liquidupdater folder in internal SD then open liquid updater under about phone option under settings and you will see the zip you downloaded just click on it and then press install button it will automatically reboot into recovery and flash it

The above if you download the zip from PC or any download manager on your phone

2.download the zip via liquid updater directly and click install or download the zip and flash it manually WITHOUT wipe your data or doing factory reset and don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache

That's all :)

I'm actually working on making it in the most common resolutions, and they will probably be done this weekend.

Then, we hope the team accepts it ;)

Great ROM

[MENTION=5800449]david makarove[/MENTION]

Greetings friends, I apologize if my question had already mentioned. What a great ROM, I am amazed at its speed and stability. Just find a negative point, the quality of the photos. Is possible to improve them, a patch or something. The truth is all that keeps giving me the final step to make this my everyday ROM. Let's say that is the only positive thing I see in the stock ROM, which takes very good pictures. If they could make Liquid improve the quality of the photos would be the perfect ROM.
[Sony Xperia L] DecentM:
Camera quality mostly depends on the app you use to take your photos with. I like to use "kitkat camera", which is available on Google play for free. I didn't compare it to stock, but it does me justice.

[Sony Xperia L] nishuksd:
Dear David,

Thank you very much for this ROM. As the name implies it is indeed very smooth and stable. No lockscreen problems.

But I wanna share somethings with you.

1. Through the inbuilt updater i had downloaded the new nightly but after downloading the entire file, it is showing MD5 error.

2. Location is working only with GPS Chip(DEVICE ONLY MODE), when I select Battery Saving mode, it keeps on searching.

And also a request, if it is possible, please add Quick Unlock feature for unlocking with PIN or Passoword.

Thank you very much for this charming ROM.
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
1-actually it is not a bug

i can make it working but you will lose KernelTweaker and dashclock because they will FC

You can download the zip from nightly folder and flash it directly without wipe anything or you can place the zip in liquid updater folder in internal SD , then go to the updater and click install now on the zip you downloaded (which is the nightly zip)

2-is it happen with other kk roms ?

3-check attachment :)

[Sony Xperia L] rodrigorgomes:
GPS

I confirm.

The GPS works only in "DEVICE ONLY MODE".

Battery Saving mode is not finding my location.
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
Guys google has changed the way how android manages location in kitkat.

-Device Only -> gps on, network location off

-Battery Saving -> gps off, network location on

-High Accuracy -> gps on, network location on

So gps won't find your location in battery saving mode and it's not a bug. However you can still get course location if you have internet connection (data/WiFi)
[Sony Xperia L] nishuksd:
Thanks for your Quick Reply David!!

1.So is it means that OTA will not come to Liquid Smooth? I mean incremental updates?

2. Previously i was on CM11 and i didnt face that problem in that. In fact until GPS was fixed for our device by DEVIOUS FUSION, we were using gps in BATTERY SAVING MODE and it was working fine.

3. Yes i know that PIN and Password unlock methods are there, but i was asking about QUICK UNLOCK, by which you don't have to press enter key after typing PIN. Once you type the correct unlock PIN, it will automatically unlock without pressing ENTER.

And one more concern, As you had instructed i have disabled the Location access and Keep Awake access for GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES. But now GOOGLE SERVICES is draining my battery by keep awake. And I cant really find the GOOGLE SERVICES app in APPS>ALL to modify permissions. Please give a solution(Screenshot attached)

Thank you very much.
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
Okay

Today will be nightly and you can update it using liquid updater (possible kerneltweaker will FC ) :)

And about Google play service

Go to settings>apps>all>Google play service > scroll down and you will see "Modify" word, click it and then disable keep awake

That's all :)

sent from unknown place using unknown app
[Sony Xperia L] DecentM:
I ran into that problem as well, and after some searching, I found out that Google Play Services wakelocks the cpu for 15 seconds every minute!

I went into wakelock blocker in settings-Liquid smooth, and checked 'nlpwakelock'.

Be aware that this will disable location history in google maps as far as I know.
[Sony Xperia L] nishuksd:
Great David, I was asking for Quick Unlock and i got it in latest nightly. And yes,as you said Kernel Tweaker is FC now.

Google Play drain was not fixed by editing permissions as you said. I had to install Wakelock terminator for that.

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DISABLE HEADS UP NOTIFICATIONS. SOMETIMES IT'S ANNOYING.

[Sony Xperia L] ileeba7:
This is not true, I can get my GPS to determine my location it takes some time. But I can't get my location using only my networks (data or wifi). And that is really annoying me
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
If the device can't find your location in battery saving mode, then it's a problem with googleplay services.
[Sony Xperia L] ileeba7:
Okay, and how to fix that? Network location works for me in older versions of CM ( in version 0723). And after that in non roms CM, Carbon rom, or even LiquidSmooth. I always flash the newest PA GAPPS and always get waiting for your location in applications :mad:

go to > settings>themes>theme packs>

and uncheck the icons options in the theme pack n apply...U R DONE...!!!:good:

I just flashed this rom again after stock, and checked it. You are right, network location doesn't work, what's more if you use any settings, other then device only, you will get wakelock. :(

I tried to disable the keep awake permission of Googleplay services, but it still doesn't let the phone sleep if network location is enabled.

[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
This bug is more than strange. I've also tried to disable keep awake for play services and g service framework. In privacy guard it seemed to be good but it still didn't let the phone sleep.

So to get rid of this annoying bug, you have to set location to device only. Then download disable service and unthick every running(blue) location related service of play services. Reboot when done.

(only GPS positioning will work)
[Sony Xperia L] nishuksd:
Dear Friends,

Me too had similar kind of problems. I did everything to get rid of WakeLock issues but nothing helped. And also as the developers say i dont believe that it is a googleplayservice bug. Because it doesnt happen in stock ROMS. Anyway I'm back to stock now, i will change to Liquidsmooth for sure, but only after fixing the Wakelock and Network Location bugs. I loved the features in this ROM.
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
I dont think stock fw is free from wakelock issue cause by google service..check again your battery option tab if is there any google service is in used..if it shows than yes..even in stock its cause wakelock..

You can try install gservice fix and nipunbounce via xposed module..reboot than after a while check again..there are no google service shows in battery tab..

I know that it is available from the app settings, but did wakelock blocker get removed, or just moved to a different place where I can't find it? I found it particularly useful, since it listed wakelocks by name instead by it's app.
[Sony Xperia L] maynihc:
I'm having the wakelock issue too, and none of the solutions seem to be working for me.

This is what I tried:

Disabling "Keep Awake" and/or "Location" permissions for Play Services

Disabling location reporting services as directed here http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1zxri4/google_play_services_battery_drain_the_real/

When I disable some services, the Nlpwakelock goes away and is replaced by "Event log Handoff" wakelock which again keeps the phone awake all the time.

The only thing that partially worked is use Per App Hacking for Xposed to disable wakelocks for Play services. But this causes Play Services to FC every 5-10 seconds atleast when screen is on. I got rid of the annoyance of the message by disabling FC messages, but that is hardly a solution!
