I want to be able to continue to use the stock messaging app and still be able to use group messaging. When a group message gets long this stupid message always shows when reentering the message thread. I have searched forever and can't figure out how to disable these kinds of messages. I would be eternally grateful for help. Thanks!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygev35:
In your messaging app's settings there should be an option under multimedia for MMS Alert. Uncheck that option.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrek4224:
It is unchecked but it still shows. Again only in group messages.

Hello All,

I'm curious, is there a way to monitor links that are being ran through the mobile apps that I use on my Galaxy s4? I would imagine anytime you send a command it should be pulling some link and was just curious if there was a way to track it?

Thanks,

Is there a way to manually change the icon size on different launchers without xposed as i wanted to go back over to ART and change the icon percentage size on google now launcher without xposed as its not compatible.

Any info would be appreciated
[Xposed General] Mjuksel:
I'm guessing, decompiling the APK and checking out various xml files which contains sizes would do the trick.

You don't have to. Just launch it on your device. And the weather should show up on the watch like one of the Google cards.
[Moto 360] qualitymove13:
I guess I mis-wrote. The weather card shows up looks exactly like the google now card. Is that what its supposed to look like or do I have to disable google now weather first?
[Moto 360] kpjimmy:
That's it. You don't have to disable the Google now card. It shows up in a different card. The 1 weather card has an icon on the card.
[Moto 360] qualitymove13:
Well then! Haha. Thanks!.
[Moto 360] kandelai:
I use this this weather app now. I got it because it was compatible with the 360. I love it is on my phone. It is probably one of the best weather apps out there. However, I had to disable the 360 notifications on the phone's app. They were always on my watch. I changed the interval times, but every time you would open the weather app on the phone, it would send a card to the watch. It was annoying. I hope they fix this.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
If you just turn the phone on and watch videos for 10 hours, I'm sure you could do that. You can't look at reviews and think that their battery tests (which don't mimic real use) are gospel. I just had my first day with the Z3C with AT&T service. Long story short, I'm getting the same battery life on my Z3C that I had on my Razr Maxx HD. And that's with location reporting on and brightness at 75 or 80%. On my RMHD location reporting was off and brightness was around 50%. I took it off the charger at 6am, it's 8pm now and I'm at 63%. 2 hours SoT.

If this was my Moto X I'd be at 15% or less.

"We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage."
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
Yeah, I know that's where you got the 10 hours number from. However, typical "real life usage" doesn't mean having the screen on for 10 hours. For example, I listen to a lot of podcasts and music. If I didn't I could probably double my screen on time. Stuff runs in the background and uses power as well. Battery life isn't just screen on time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
did you have a SIM card inserted? I noticed they didn't have a SIM card in theirs. This may turn off the cellular antennas

The problem with these synthetic tests is its repeating the same thing over and over again. Things like caching start coming into play
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
They didnt have a sim in? Thats pretty much invalidates the 10 hours number for sure. Cell service always drains more battery than wifi.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
K

He has the phone in ultra stamina mode. If you wanna turn your smartphone into a dumbphone and have it last a week go ahead. Im gonna get two days out of one charge. Probably around 4 or 5 hours SoT, along with 6 or 7 hours of listening to podcasts and/or music. 10 to 12 hours of actual usage over two days is pretty pimp in my book. Im plenty happy with that. Dont know what to tell you.

Nowhere in the page does he say he has ultra Stamina mode on. Only Stamina moden is on

Battery life won't be consistent for the first couple of times

You'll be configuring the phone (installing new apps, blahblahblah, more CPU usage)

I see the guys status bar and it looks like he's on 2g...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
Well. I'm basing this off of the screenshot they posted (I don't even know what that screenshot is trying to show). They really didn't say in their article. You can see the "no SIM" icon at the top and they're on WiFi.

I doubt they ran the test with a SIM card and 4g/LTE, and then went through the trouble of taking the SIM out and enabling WiFi before taking the screenshot.

Regardless, the battery life is good enough for me. Best from a phone I've ever had.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
Sony says you can get 1-2 days on a charge with no battery saving modes on, 3-4 days with stamina mode, and up to a week with ultra stamina mode. Dude is on day 6 in that screen shot, so draw your own conclusions there. Plus, like another poster said, he's not on 4G or HSPA. Of course he'll have crazy battery life. My old flip phones used to last 3-4 days easily as well.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. If you think that the battery in the Z3C sucks, fair enough. I, however, am more than happy with a phone that gets the same battery life as my Razr Maxx HD. The Z3C has brightness turned up higher, and EVERYTHING on (except bluetooth), whereas the RMHD didn't. After one full day and 5 hours of actual use (2 hours SoT and 3 hours of audio listening with Pocket Casts) I'm at exactly 50%. Didn't charge the phone overnight. Gonna use it like normal today, see if I can get 2 full days with no battery saving mode turned on, 10 hours actual use.

Oh, sorry. The first time I clicked the link it took me to a different post and screenshot.

Well again, the guy doesn't have 4G or HSPA on and is on wifi. Those are not 'real world conditions'. Maybe he doesn't have 4G or HSPA where he lives, but I do and I'm gonna use it. Good for him. I like smartphones better than dumbphones though :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacocats:
That is the only difference I'm finding between his settings and mine but I'm doubtful it would double my screen on time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
What do you want, unlimited screen on time for 2 days no matter what? Thats now how batteries work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rv1458:
I've only had mine 2 days, but so far I've been very pleased with the battery life. Even with very heavy usage during the first two days setting things up and testing things I've gotten through a whole day with 30%+ battery remaining. That's without Stamina mode or disabling Google Now, etc. My Moto X would have died several hours before the end of the day with that level of usage.

I fully intend to charge my phone every night as I always have, but not completely draining the battery every day should help extend the life of the battery (reduce battery degradation) and I don't think I'll have to worry about trying to conserve battery or topping off part way through the day anymore.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
Your battery life will get significantly better after 5 or so charge cycles. A new lithium ion battery needs to "get in shape" before it performs optimally.

That's weird OP, I've had screen brightness on 70% to max with no stamina modes whatsoever and have gotten at least 7 hours on screen time everyday since getting my phone. That's with heavy use too, lots of picture and video taking. I haven't even begun optimizing with apps like Greenify or restricting certain apps from draining my battery and keeping my phone awake.

I haven't unlocked the bootloader, I'm guessing you have since you're using Gravitybox which requires root, so I'm wondering if that's yet another surprise in addition to the already discovered compromise to camera performance?

Battery life hasn't blown me away either. It lasts all day but not much longer. Starting yesterday, my battery life estimate started getting worse. No apps are using unusual amounts of power. I hope things settle down and improve over the next few days.

Update: It looks like the battery life estimate uses the previous 24-48 hours to estimate the next day. I used it heavily 2 days ago, but only lightly the day after yesterday and today.. The estimate just changed over from 6 hours to 2 days; it just popped instantly to the new estimate instead of a gradual change.

Hi, I recently got a Z3 compact from clove uk. And I haven't seen the 6+ hours of screen on times that other people are reporting. I've had Battery Monitoring Widget on the the phone since the beginning, and while the system files say the battery has 2663mAh of capacity, the app only records me using up to 2300mAh of battery from full to dead.

What kind of real world capacity are other people seeing?

I am here to learn more about Z3 C before I buy one

and I thought that the battery tests were more realistic than

they are for real world use.

I am learning , lol.

To the OP- I am a Novice compared to these Guys but I do wonder about that 2300 Mah number .

I suggest a totally different battery App and check again.

I am a little concerned since this will be my first fixed battery phone.

Meanwhile, a few things that I normally do is :

Background Process Limit try 4, 3 , even 2 background processes .

Turn SYNC off and check in periodically for emails etc.

Location.- OFF unless you navigating .

20% brightness - you according to Reviews be able to play

Videos 10 hours - lol. Now I get it only Wifi.

Still at 30 to 40 % brightness on 4 G with above Options - how many hours of Web Browsing would you Guys estimate ?

4 to 6 ? 6 to 8 ?

Thanks.

Also do magnetic Chargers charge more quickly ?

Does it kill battery to leave on charger all night instead of the required time to 100% ?

Do aftermarket higher current chargers charge more quickly or should ONLY Sony charger be used again to prolong l ife

Just looked at my wife's Z3C. She took it off the charger around 9am. At 11 pm, it was at 82% still haha.

I've had mine off the charger 15.5 hours. 4 hours SoT, 2 hours Pocket Casts, lots of pics and about 45 minutes of navigation. I'm at 26%. My Moto X would have dies hours ago with that kind of usage. Never got more than 2 hours SoT out of it.

I'm sure I've read elsewhere that pocket casts is notorious for sneaky battery drain. Stamina mode does much of what you suggested, if you don't have an app active that's using GPS then having Location on doesn't drain your battery. My Sony magnetic dock charges from 0 -100% in around 3 hours (1.5 amp charger)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
I'm also easily getting the claimed 2 days on a charge with no battery saving modes on. Nothing to complain at all.

What I noticed, however, is that setting the phone to "3G preferred" eats about 1%/hour, no matter you use (or move around with) it or not. Left my phone in the livingroom at say 23:00 with 50% charge left and found it at 40% charge at around 9:00 the next morning. Now, after setting it to GSM/2G only, drain got reduced to below 1% within the same period (10 hours)! I've seen similar behaviour with my Xperia M, yet not this much. Guess there's some room for improvement in the FW (tested on .98).

if you have battery issues, factory reset, and this time dont install all this ****ty stuff that claims to help with battery life or measure battery. Unless you have always a terrible cell signal you'll get the same battery life as everyone else (without turning on stamina mode or whatever, just stock usage).

if you start installing apps check which ones use too much battery using the power management menu of the phone. Don't uncheck stuff like push queuing etc. Keep defaults. Magic.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:
Yeah, if I use no Stamina Mode or anything, then I usually get enough for 1.5-2 days (example: wake up Monday and take phone off charger, don't put it back on until I go to bed Tuesday). I listen to lots of podcasts as well. I usually get about 10 hours mixed use on one charge, usually around 5 hours screen on time, and another 5 hours of Pocket Casts. And I usually keep my screen brightness around 70-75%.

This is my first Sony phone, and I'm very pleased with it. It gets similar battery to my old Razr Maxx HD, and the battery on that phone was 7oo mAh bigger.
