[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
The results might technically be correct, but the impact seems negligible. In both cases battery charge is still 100% according to your screenshots.

Would be interesting to see this test to cover say 24 hours at least, but I'm not sure you can stand not to touch your Z3C that long ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
It's not negligible though. The reason I did the test in the first place was because I noticed faster drain over the course of a day or two on HSPA versus LTE. The test revealed that my perception of faster drain was likely correct given that HSPA has 2x to 3x as much wakelock time.

So yes over 3 hours maybe no noticeable increase in battery drain, but over 24 or 48 hours it was noticeable in real life.

Probably due to this issue which plagues Sony phones. I've had the Z, Z1, Z2 and now Z3C and they all suffer from this. It can only be fixed if you have root access.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
I'll be interesting to get that a bit more quantified over a longer duration/period of time in order to really judge the impact. Anyhow, I do not see this behaviour on my Z3C and battery goes down by just about 1% in say 10 hours.

Conditions:

- connected to 3G/HSPA network with mobile data off,

- BT on (never turn it off),

- WiFi off,

- FW: .98 DE (what is yours, BTW?).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
I'm on the .93 firmware. I might flash UK .105 this weekend and compare.

Btw, if you turn mobile data off, doesn't that effectively disconnect you from HSPA? I think you need to leave it on.

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
No, not that I'm aware of. Why would it disconnect from the HSPA/3G network just because one turns mobile data off?! Further, you can check this on the status page of your phone, my one does not switch networks while turning on/off mobile data.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Because HSPA/3g IS mobile data.

I don't think the status page is very helpful either. It shows what network you are supposedly connected to even when you are on WiFi, even though on WiFi you are not really connected to mobile data, either.

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
Ok, we're going to mix things up now. Disabling mobile data does not mean you're not connected to a 2G or 3G network. So, even if you're using WiFi, the phone remains connected. How would you be able to place/receive calls otherwise?!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Calls are not placed placed over the HSPA/3g networks. They ate placed over the 1g networks I believe. (Until voLTE at least).

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
In other words, you can disable 3g/4g/LTE and whatever else and you can still make and receive calls and sms because they don't go over what we typically consider the data networks. That's also why calls work even when your APN settings are wrong.

But I'm no expert. That's just been my understanding for the last several years.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
No and no. Calls are placed over the 2G and the 3G networks, some providers even via LTE (VoLTE) now. There're are no more 1G (analogue) networks anymore since years. So today it all starts with 2G.

You're again mixing and confusing two things over here. A mobile network (no matter the generation) can (and is) used for a.) voice and b.) data. No such thing like an exclusive mobile "data network" anywhere. APN stands for Access Point Name which is the name of the Gateway between a Backbone of a mobile network (e.g. 2G, 3G, 4G) and an external packet-based data network, that is the Internet.

Please, make yourself a little bit more acquainted with mobile networks and the terminology first and then come back on the core problem, if there still really is one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
There is one. See screenshots above. Everything you said in your post is irrelevant to my original post, even if true. Hspa has higher wake locks than lte by 2x or 3x.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
I haven't found the required sources to port from source, so I don't know if that's possible. Neither am I experienced in any of that.

In basic porting I do, however so far it has been unsuccesful for the Z7 Mini.

I have tried to port CM11S from the OPO, but it didn't work out, the phone became stuck in a bootloop, and logcat wasn't working to find out what's the problem of not booting. Might be dual-sim related but that should more likely run into a non-working sim/ril or a lot of crashes, not making it not booting at all.

I do wonder how they got the CM11 / Mokee with eng/ch languages to work. Tried using those as base too but that didn't do the trick.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
To build completely from source you need to have the kernel source.

ZTE has not yet released it, but I'm hoping it will be released soon.

You can check here.

On Github there's a repo but it's apparently broken.

Anyway you can build cyanogenmod without having the kernel source (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro)

As soon as I get my own device I'll try that.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] rayures:
Nice, will follow this thread :)

I was trying to port the Z7 Max CM11 to the Z7 Mini, still work in progress because i'm new at this...
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pedrud:
So, do you have any idea how the existing ROM's were ported then? If they weren't from source, we should be able to port others without getting the boot loop error - in theory. Not finding the kernel source is the main reason (besides finding the time) why I haven't worked on porting others. I also cannot find the vendor tree for the phone - which incidentally, may well be part of the kernel source. If you can port CM without source the others should be equally possible. Personally, I'm not interested in a CM based ROM (although a couple I listed in the other thread that I tried porting were CM based); I'm more interested in an AOSP based ROM. I wonder why ZTE has been so slow to release the kernel? Especially since they've released all the others (albeit not the other Z7's) and they have been so popular.

Also, as I stated in the other thread, I was able to get a couple to boot, but they were stuck in boot loop issues. I forgot to use logcat to see what the issue was.

[MENTION=4423611]voetbalremco[/MENTION] I agree with you, how did they get MoKee and MIUI to work? I tried using MoKee as base too - though didn't try MIUI. Does anyone know if it's possible to extract the kernel from the current stock ROM?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
There are different ways to port a Rom...or you build it from scratch, so you compile everything. And for that you need source for every component.

Or you can use the various kitchens (this one for example) to repack and tweak an existent rom.

You can do it with the kitchen above or using one of the tools available (like this one for example.

Probably everything can be done with dd (as mentioned in the cyanogenmod guide).

Hopefully my device will be her soon, so I can also try these as well ;)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pedrud:
Thanks for the resources! I think combining those two, plus the info on the CM website, and what's on XDA-University; I should be able to get this figured out. Now all I need to do is find the time. :D

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
So I started to try to build something with CM-11.

I thought I could put my steps here, in case someone else needs them (or has a better way to do it):

1) Get the repo uility:

mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

2) Initialize the repository:

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0

3) Sync the repository:

repo sync

This will take a while (the repo is pretty big).

I've taken some infos from the phone (build.prop, partitioning, kernel, boot.img).

I'll continue as soon as the repo is sync'ed.

Repo sync'ed, now build the environment:

. build/envsetup.sh

At this point we have to build the structure as explained here

Make sure you have the boot.img extracted (see previous posts about a tool).

Make sure you have the utility "unpackbootimg" installed.

I downloaded from https://github.com/osm0sis/mkbootimg/blob/master/unpackbootimg.c and compiled with:

gcc -o unpackbootimg unpackbootimg.c

Put it in your $PATH.

Then run the commands to create the directory structure:

./build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh nubia NX507J ../original/boot.img

"nubia" and "NX507J" come from the build.prop, respectively

ro.product.manufacturer=nubia
ro.product.device=NX507J

The result from the mkvendor.sh is:

[...]
Use the following command to set up your build environment:
lunch cm_NX507J-eng
And use the follwowing command to build a recovery:
. build/tools/device/makerecoveries.sh cm_NX507J-eng

...to be continued

It activated with Ting.com without any problems, Voice and Data 4G/LTE is working fine; have not tried MMS yes, but SMS works.

(Did not have a chance to give it a full run, but will tonight.)

The wife absolutely loves it! (Her Epic 4G Touch was starting to bore her, and I will absolutely NOT buy her the "Fruit Phone").

Actually, I do like the phone's look and feel. The design is very eye catching. It does not feel too light or "plasticy" in the hand, the screen is a good size.

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] tweak42:
Does the Sprint prepaid version have the built-in tethering or a mobile hotspot app pre-loaded and does it work? From what I read on another site, those are missing in the Boost version.

Bought a sprint prepaid version (SH306SHASB) from Amazon.com during their $130 sale.

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] typolad:
No prior activation; took it right to Ting.

Doing a review of the phone right now.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ivanthec:
The way I understood it...is that for a newly released phone to be compatible with Ting... it must never be activated on Sprint Post Paid. Otherwise you are going to have to wait about 1 year until Sprint white lists the ESN for Ting/MVNO use.

Not 100% sure if that would apply if you had activated it on Sprint Pre Paid or Boost, but it is very possible. So if you want Ting, do not activate it anywhere else than Ting first.

Activated Boost Mobile Aquos in Ting.com, phone works, but the network provider shows Chameleon instead of sprint. Updated PRL and Voice setting, no change.

Anyone here has the same issue? How to solve it? It may not be an urgent problem, since I can still get voice, message and LTE connection.

As soon as we get root, that is.

Meanwhile I'm here to offer a few words of caution. The Sprint Prepaid/Boost versions of the Aquos Crystal don't seem to support off-network roaming. If you'll be in areas where you might need to fall back on Verizon for voice and text, you'll need to buy the postpaid model, which costs a bit more.
