Cell signal and battery life

After over a week, I have a few observations about cell signal and battery life. I am on T-Mobile.

- Cell service has not been doing what I would expect.

- A few minutes ago, I was on GPRS (?!) in my home where we have HSPA+/AWS (with a CellFi booster). Never seen that before.

- Earlier this morning, I was on Edge. Need to airplane on/off to get back to 3G to make a decent call.

- Around town, I have seen 3G/H+ in areas where I previously had 4 bars of LTE. Other TMO customers see LTE.

- Battery life is lower, but I still easily get a full day with about 40% left. Previously, the same day would have 60+% left.

- When I was in Chicago earlier this week, I had no such issues. It stayed on LTE everywhere I expected and battery life was amazing.

It is possible that this is related to network issues in my city (Madison, WI) - which would explain network connectivity changes and battery life. But, it is hard to believe that is going on for more than a week.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
after 2 weeks with it:

Battery almost the same or even better (do a factory reset if you didnt guys!!)

lots of free ram (doesnt mean anything in android)

camera night fotos are worse.

like new thinga that sony added, hated that they removed others

rest pretty much the same...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Ram is same, now android show running services completely excluding cached memory, click on cached memory it will show 500MB free same as KK. Free memory is wasted memory

confused battery drain

After lollipop update and everything is awesome but only I realize one confused thing

Pls if you check my attached image Cell Standby consume much more batterry than screen

Pls advice.

Anyone has this issue? And how to fix it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] HooLIMAN87:
You probably don't use phone so much that's why is "Cell standby" so high.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:
mine still prompts when i connect to an aptX device. i did a clean install.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ADiddy88:
Oddly, my "transfer data to SD card" notification bug has almost gone away completely, and the "No Service" bug has disappeared as well after using the phone for a little while now! Also! I finally found the shortcut to Vibrate mode, you press one of the volume buttons to bring up the sound slider, and then just tap on the bell and it will switch to Vibrate mode!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hunhool:
Just uodated to LP, so far soo good. There is only 1problem: dialer and contacts get FC's when I want to use them to make a call.... Anyobody knows how to resolve it?

made a clean flash and works now :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
Yeah. Try force stop/deleting data of these apps and maybe delete and re enter your Gmail account. If none of these works try a clean Lollipop installation.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rjkmadison:
Thank you for the tip on vibrate mode!!!

As far as "No Service", I am hoping mine gets better. It's not the same as yours, but jumps to Edge in HSPA/LTE areas. In addition, HSPA/LTE signal is often (much) lower than KK. In my home, with a CellFi booster, is sometimes shows 2-3 bars while all other phones in the house are at 4 (or 5) bars.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] goeland86:
Is anyone having a wifi problem? For me I've tried rebooting many times, but phone consistently cannot connect to Wifi at work (WPA2 Enterprise with MSCHAPv2 auth)...

After it fails to connect, wifi disables itself, and I can't re-enable it. Reminds me of a bug I saw when using CM12 nightly a while back. Battery life suffers because of this, any easy fixes? I've got root and TWRP pre-installed on this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
Try to delete the old wireless profile (long tap on the profile) and then re-create it.

D5503 Lollipop 5.0 USB on the go

Hello developers

Couple days ago i flashed russian version of android 5.0.2 - 14.5.A.0.242 and for now i saw one major problem which from threat title you see what is.. so USB on the go doesnt work at all.. I tried with 2 USB sticks and with my other phone E1 , which worked perfectly in both ways on 4.4.4, so if somebody know something i, or have desire to make a rom about it be free to answer.

Thanks. At least I know it's a problem with my phone alone. Will try a clean wipe soon. And if that fails, I'll install a non pre-rooted image of Lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] twilliams08:
I had a similar problem, my wifi only occassionally connected to my home network and quite frequently didn't list it in the available networks (despite my Nexus 7 and partners iPhone being connected to it). Ended up doing a full wipe and re-install which (so far) appears to have solved the issue.

Only around 50% of the variants seem to have received the update so far.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Antiversum:
Hi,

I accidently (pushed wrong button) updated without having further notice of the changes. And just at the beginning I really dislike that update. It is uncomfortable for my usage of the phone, and it is ugly (for example fonts). Is there a way without rooting to uninstall lollipoo? Or at least is there a way to get the exact UI of the phone before lollipop back?

I am completely new to eg. rooting since I found the UI of the compact absolutely beautiful before I updated.

You dont need to root your phone to flash a Sony stock Rom. You just need flashtool ( here are all the infos you need http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343 ) and a KitKat Sony Rom ( for example this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2931318 ).

60FPS

Hi guys,

I was reading the Sony Support Forum and one user related that is possible record at 60FPS if we push the button to take a photo during the record. I tried here and seems to work really, but i can't test on pc right now to prove if is real or only an impression.

If someone can try it, please post here the result!

Here was the original mesage from Sony Forum:

"I want to add one thing more about 60fps issue, I was making video at 60fps (which is not ofcourse 60fps), then it was recording at 30 fps But as I had captured a photo when recording I could see it had started recording video at 60fps. The motion was much better recording and moreover the light was also got dim which are the signs of 60fps video.. I did not know if anyone had try it. But the video was not smooth.."

Tnks all, and sorry my english.

The first sentence said z3/z2 is finished testing and the second sentence said they are still optimising other(entire) xperia phones.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] marsx1984:
What first sentence ? All I see is this http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/03/04/sonymwc-your-questions-answered/

1. Obviously a lot of people have been asking about the Z-series-wide Android Lollipop update, its timings and rollout plans.

Jun Makino, Product Marketing Manager for the Xperia Z Series – “The over-riding priority at the moment is to deliver a strong, stable update. We’re in the last stages of testing that, working with Google and operator partners and we’ll begin rolling out soon. Stay tuned to the blog and [MENTION=5448027]SonyMobile[/MENTION]News for the latest info when that starts.”
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheEndHK:
This does not guaranteed anythings because he didn't promise anythings. According to the history, every time you asked Sony they will just told you the same story as above, periods.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] uchihakurtz:
Something more to get excited about, apparently Sony Mobile Indonesia said that Lollipop should come next week (no device mentioned though) and the great news is, that is support App2SD! Woohoo!

Source
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rekoil:
Apps2SD is really not required anymore. Apps already share partition with appdata these days and storing them on an SD-card is just really slow. You really shouldn't need more than 16GB for apps to be honest.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
They said only for Z2 and Z3 family. I think Z1 will come in april...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fridlack:
For me the most important thing that could bring lollipop is the new camera api, and looking to the other brands it will not come....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tonio78r:
Well, Sony France has just confirmed that only Lollipop for Z3 should be released next week and other devices will have to wait a little more...

Yeah I also got 36fps (I am the same user who posted at Sony forum) but at first I thought it was a 60fps because I was making a video of a moving fan and as I clicked a photo, I could see the blades of the fan partially and I have a dslr which makes video at 50 fps and when I tested both the video they looking somewhat similar. But the technical details shows that it was 36fps and had of 19.5 mb bitrate which was the only difference between 30fps video and 60fps video.

To get real 60fps just flash the 4k+Slow Motion mod. Some libs are missing in the stock update, so that's why it's not working "out the box"

Camera app(?) failed today

I ran into the first item that really failed today with LP - the camera. Snapchat updated and I launched the new version (no idea why, since I rarely use it) to find a black screen. Everything else seem to work fine in the app, but the camera is blank. So, I launch the Sony camera app to find the same results - blank screen, like the camera sensor didn't activate or something like that. I rebooted and the camera seems to be fine now. I don't know if it was a base OS issue or related to the Snapchat update or what.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] trewelu:
It was showing May for getting the update from Sony and June for expected rolling date. I forgot whether it was saying platform 5.0 or 5.1.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Epipsychidion:
The may update was 5.0.2 but apparently there was a major bug.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gikey1:
Has Sony stopped releasing LP for Z1C because of bugs founded in firmware or something? I haven't seen any new releases for last couple of days, even almost last two weeks. It started about month ago and still no update for Central Europe and a few other customizations. Pretty annoying.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
Today they released it for Customized Switzerland. So far looking good here :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dazzerfong:
Is it just me, or is USB audio out dead on the Z1 Compact? It worked in KitKat, but when I tried using it in Lollipop, I got nothing. Using Customised HK .242 if that helps (re-flashed to make sure).

In russian release, there was no USB OTG at all, yesterday i flashed bulgarian, which was later released and everything works for now, so try to flash other one, like Switzerland, the previous guy says 3 hours ago, that it was released so for now is the newest

You mean the 60fps that we arent suppost to have? yes, on sony forum they said it wikk be corrected (option 60fps removed)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] trewelu:
Are you sure that 4.3 FW ..114 is the best? With the lack of RAW camera API and comparable battery life, I am considering not to stay at 4.3 longer.

AU region haven't even got 5.0 (and Telstra variant even on older KK FW), I thought there is no way Telstra AU got 5.1 from sony on May. But As someone posted the pcrtb link, I guess there is really a chance to skip 5.0 and goes to 5.1 directly. August is way too long though compared to when the other region got it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I've heard the same thing from other mouths but since 4.3 lacks of 4K recording and battery real bad, not for a chance to stay in old firmware. In terms of details and quality, it might be better in 4.3 but I believe 4.4.4 got better focus and color reproduction. Not sure about 5.0.2, I'm still running 4.4.4 bcoz I'm messing around with my Galaxy S6 but may give .270 a try.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Then it is possible. I never use 60fps because it lost sharpness and details to a level I don't accept it.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jokamaciek:
camera on lollipop is worse, much worse than KK. In superior auto mode it gives too much value of ISO when using LED and in manual mode it cannot set EV and white balance correctly with auto EV and white balance. Dunno how it worked on 4.3 but on 4.4 it was almost perfect, now it's rubbish
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:
Does anyone else have a battery problem after the update? My battery drops from 60% to 6% instantly. Repair through pc companion didn't fix it(did it twice). Factory reset doesn't help either. Any ideas? My phone is 15 months old so bringing it to service for warranty is out if the picture.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eumanoid:

1. Do you recommend i do it myself(battery replacement) or send it to sony center?

2. If i send it to service center, will they give me a warranty for waterproofness?

3. I have a custom skin on the back, will the replace the back too?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] maninder singh bali:
reinstall the firmware then after setting up the device let the battery discharge( till 2% 0r 3%). then fully charge it and reboot several times. u'll see the difference ;) . Do not use stamina mod it drains battery much faster.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] maninder singh bali:
yes i m sure as after trying and using every rom for my phone at last i prefer 4.3. As far as camera is concerned (see the attachment) the camera is best after CM11 ROM's camera.

now as far as battery backup in jelly bean 4.3 (see the attachment) when i use the phone very extremely i get 5h30min of screen on time and the battery usage is 13hrs. and all this with no battery saving scripts or mods, my device is rooted and i use doomkernel and no camera mods too.
