My apologies for the delayed reply! you should consider removing the SD card fully and check if the isssue persists. Also try decreasing your SD card content or use a blank SD card/one that contains other data than that of yours. monitor the temp & then report
[LG Optimus L90] sorabh.v6:
Sure, i'll
[LG Optimus L90] sorabh.v6:
Sorry for replying too late, i tried to run this phone without memory card but condition is still same. Battery backup not improved,
[LG Optimus L90] crosswire:
i also have a 32gb class 10 memory card and a 16gb class 10, and it seems my battery life has reduced ever since (i got the cards about a week ago)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Hello all.

After several requests I finally decided to make this topic.

I'm not a developer, not even a phone specialist, but just a general technician that loves to tweak to get the best out of all things I get my hands on.

I have my V since about 20 months and I've tried all sorts of roms, mods, settings and apps.

Please share your experiences here, and if you use the things proposed here, post some feedback to give something back to this community in return.

Also l politely ask people that have more knowledge than me, to correct me if I'm wrong and to help me add precisions.

I devided the information over the following posts.

The second post talks about apps, the third post is all about kernel settings, the fourth post is about android settings.

I reserved some posts underneath for possible expansions.

Of course I don't take any responsibility for what happens to your phone after using any of the tips below if it makes you unhappy, and I take all credit if you do like it..... :angel:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Applications

These apps will do good to almost every rom.

I don't add general apps to prevent needless discussions, only apps that solve problems or raise the phone's quality.

Please tell if you know apps that you think are better, or that should also be listed here, and tell us why.

*************************************************************************************/

SoundAbout

If you have a non-Sony headphone there is a big chance that you have troubles getting them to work.

SoundAbout can force output to the headphone if the phone doesn't recognise it automatically, amongst a lot of other sound output related options.

*************************************************************************************/

Viper4android

Gives your phone an enormous boost in sound quality.

It can also force the sound enhancements for headphone to work on the loudspeaker and to headphones that are enabled with the abovementioned SoundAbout app.

*************************************************************************************/

Faster GPS

Lets you set the GPS server to your locality, giving a big speed up and better precision.

Also it lets you force A-GPS and much more.

*************************************************************************************/

Greenify

Get better battery life by stopping needless background processes.

*************************************************************************************/

Seeder

Makes the dalvik runtime work much smoother when multitasking and in demanding apps.

*************************************************************************************/

Xposed framework

Can change almost every single aspect of the phone with seperate dowloadable modules.

A must have if you're on dalvik.

*************************************************************************************/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Android Settings

As options and settings differ on all roms, I won't precise how to reach these.

Some might be available on the rom you use, some won't.

Please share your setting that helps make performance, user experience or battery life better, and supply some feedback on the settings proposed here.

Automatic Display Brightness

Most new roms have this setting, where we can adjust the steps of the automatic brightness levels.

For some reason, this never corresponds to the sensor of my V.

Check it out by opening the settings popup, and keeping the sensor in a bright light.

The sensor on my phone measures a little bit over 9100 lux as maximum value.

The maximum brightness in the settings at default is 2000 lux.

This makes the auto setting unusable for battery stamina and your eyes.

If you adapt the settings to your personal taste, using the whole 0-9000 range, it is comfortable for the eyes and it gives an enormous boost in battery stamina.

I post my settings here, but i repeat that the best way is to take the time to adapt the settings to your personal taste.

Lower brightness is always better for the battery but you should at least be able to read what is on the screen in all circumstances.

The way I use to find the right settings is by finding primarily the two extremes, and set them.

So, into a total dark place and set the 0 lux and go in maximum sun for the brightest setting.

Note that to change the maximum setting, you need to alter the before-last setting, for instance if you want the maximum lux reading to be 9000, change the lux of the second brightest to 8999 lux, the last will automatically be 1 more, thus 9000 lux.

The min and max set, go to some intermediate places, with different light conditions and in each one set the setting so that you can still read comfortably.

The sensor value goes down in quite a non linear way so think about how to divide the steps.

These are my settings:

0 lux = 10

50 lux = 30

100 lux = 40

200 lux = 50

500 lux = 75

1001 lux = 100

8800 lux = 175

8950 lux = 220

9100+ lux = 255

(can someone confirm the default max lux value please)

*************************************************************************************/

Runtime

I use ART instead of Dalvik, and I'm really satisfied.

It means no xposed for the moment, but with the right rom you won't miss that :p

*************************************************************************************/

Notification LED

I found my notification LED to stop the charge indicator LED from working after changing ROM.

Each time I received a notification during charge, my charge led would not turn on again, untill I restarted my phone.

Reflashing the same and other roms did not help, very weird.

The solution I found was in the notification LED settings.

It was set to "custom", while there was no custom setting available.

Just setting the "custom" to any other setting solved the problem for me.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Hardware

Some hardware tips:

-Don't touch the black rubber seals of the ports with your fingers, the natural acid of your body deteriorates them much quicker.

-If you change the port covers, use a very small screwdriver (or a paperclip that you flattened with a hammer) and push it carefully in the hole where the lid is attached to guide it out, thus preventing the small hook to keep it in place.

-Don't take off the "Sony" labeled screen protection, it really makes the screen very sensible to cracks (*sic*)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
There, I finally had some time to add stuff.

I received a brand new battery yesterday, so I will be able to give results that should correspond to a "new" phone.

I will add my famous voltages soon, in the kernel settings post, but I'm taking the time to search reliable info and test results.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Thanks for your thread, I also recommend to put thread link in your signature.

By the way, beside those apps I also use Seeder with all three options checked and light RNG service profile.

It has no effect on battery life but kills almost every lag when multitasking and also in some games.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I wanted to try seeder lately but apparently it doesn't work on ART.

I will add it to the list.

The voltages are underway, I'm trying to find a reliable way to benchmark different settings, battery wise.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Voltages added.

I'm letting my new battery settle for a while before benching the different voltages as it seems to get better at every charge for the moment.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Thank you for the time and effort of writing this thread..i wanted to ask you, whatever ROM i am on except stock based gives me SoD..no matter what i do i just cant get a day without a custom rom dying on me..i ordered a new battery and replaced it successfully but it still dies on me..Do you think it has something to do with the voltage from the battery? if so what do you suggest i should do??? i have the XPERIA T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Well, I'm surely not an expert on the sleep of death matter and never had my hands on a T, but maybe I can help anyway.

Let's try ;)

As I'm a technician, I'm used to find the source of problems by eliminating possibilities.

You say you've changed the battery and that hasn't solved the problem so changing it again shouldn't help.

Sleep of death logically happens when the phone is idle (doing nothing).

When the phone is idle, it runs at low clock speed.

You never have freezes or reboots when you're using the phone?

In that case I would try to get the phone run a little bit faster in idle state, just to see if it still happens.

Assuming there is a unlocked kernel available for the T, I would flash that, and use an app like system tuner to set minimum speed @ screen off one or two steps higher and see if it survives the night.

You could even set min and max speeds to the same to find the clockspeed(s) that are not stable.

Once you've found the unstable speed(s), you can

- Just keep the setting that disables that clock, but assuming it is the lowest clockspeed, your phone will use more battery in idle state.

or

- Raise the voltage with 1 step (12.5mV) for the clockspeeds that are instable amd see if it helps.

Attention be careful, don't raise too much! If it isn't better with 25mV more, then more volts are not likely to do better and raising too much will cause heat problems (on low clockspeeds it is quite safe as the voltages are much lower than at full speed)

I joined some screens of system tuner so that you can see what I mean with "settings for screen off", the first are my own actual settings and the second is what I would try on your phone (assuming that the T has the same clockspeeds as the V of course)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Ok thank you very much!! i will begin my testing and let you know :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Good luck!

Be patient and try one setting at a time ;)

I've added some text on clockspeeds under the kernel section, more will come.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Kureiji:
For automatic brightness I suggest Lux Lite app (or its full version). It has some more features than rom's brightness setting. And actually I used this app all the time just because I don't know how to set hightest lux value, but now I know it. Thank you!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Ok here is an update! i have been testing since we last spoke and all i did was set the lowest frequency of the cpu to one notch higher than the lowest available and also applied the settings you suggested..i flashed neowave..and where other times i would always see a SoD within a couple of hours or overnight...I have not seen one yet so im guessing (and hoping) that was the problem..thank you so much for your help! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
That is great news!

I had a much worse experience, my screen has broken.

The phone is useless now, image is ok but it doesn't react to touch any more.

So i'm in doubt, get it repaired or get another phone.

And i just installed a new battery :cry:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Sorry to hear that mate! to be honest if someone manages to port a working version of lollipop for the T then trust me i would not even consider changing it for anything, im sure a genius will make it work so in my opinion get it fixed because it will be worth it :D :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I ordered a brand new Z2.

At €340 it has an unbeatable value/quality that I couldn't resist.

The repair costs for the V are almost the same as a new one, and if I buy a new phone anyway, it might as well be a bit better.

I hope that the info i posted so far can help others in the future.

I will take some time to "finalise" this topic and add all I know, if it isn't already there, but as y'all can understand, I won't add info after that.

With very mixed feelings I say goodbye to my beloved V and it's community.

Special thanks and goodbye to [MENTION=5566313]Aria.A97[/MENTION], [MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Sorry to hear that, thanks for every byte of info you shared :) You were one best owners of Xperia V.

I planned to get a Z3 or Z3 compact, but I decided to wait for next x64 generation of phones, something like Z4 or Galaxy S 6 :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks for your support and everything. Hope to see you again in some device's forum one day. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowoak:
So I have a nexus 4 laying around. And recently Amazon just announced Amazon Echo, basically speakers with amazon's try on Google Now/Siri called Alexa.

It seems the voice commands are a little bit more powerful than google now's, for ex. Echo can stop music when you tell it to, Now can only start music and can't stop it.

I have a decent home entertainment system in my room, that I usually plug in my phone or tablet into to play music. Now I was thinking I could leave my nexus 4 plugged in permanently and have it act as my own little amazon echo. I just need a solution like an app(s).

I messed around with utter!. It's very powerful compared to google now, but it you can't tell it to stop playing music too(unless I'm missing something), which is my main use for it.

Ill be using Play Music all access to stream my music.

any help would be greatly appreciated
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ricorico:
Hello to all members,

First of all, I have to say that I'm a new user of softbank and a new member of xda-developer,

As I tryied to unlock the WM5 rom in my HTC Softbank Japanese version by using HTweakC for Hermes / HTweakC Version 2, but didn't success.

I've checked the SPL is 1.04, and then I test the CID with mtty.exe,

found it is not fully unlocked, because the code is not a formal type as the sources which downloaded from the web,

I know there were only three formal code for SuperCID.

So the questions are:

1. Does it need fully unlock before deleting files in HTC WM5 rom files.

2. SPL1.04 equal to fully unlocked ?

Hope I can have reply soon, thanks

Dear XDA members and developers, in case all of your apps need to be tested, and tested correctly, I would like to introduce my google+ beta community here:

Betaapps

As many of you know, Google implemented beta testing options to the Google Play Market and this option based on google+ communities, where you can invite your testers.

These way have a huge advantage:

1) Users can install your beta application directly from Play Market (they can trust your app more, and they don't need to move *.apk files on the device).

2) You will have a simple bugtracker with crash reports, it should increase quality of received feedbacks.

My community should help developers to share their beta programs and invite testers to their communities. If you have a post on XDA forums with your application beta promo, you also can just share the link to our community to the "Request feedback" section with no worry that it will be removed (even if you don't have any community). There are not so much places where you can find a list of beta testing programs, like in our "apps" section, and I also would like to invite all XDA members who want to be notified about new android apps in beta to join our Betaapps community as a tester.

For now, Betaapps community is growing and it will be very helpful if you will share this community with your google+ circles and other social networks. This forum section could be more effective for developers if they will know how to get more testers.

Actually I have a big plans in beta testing field and my community and I hope that XDA members will enjoy my activities and our work will be help testers and developers meet each other. Welcome for your comments.

* for moderators: It would be great to pin this post in this forum section. I also

can place a link to this post in our community description to help people visit XDA. Thanks!

Welcome - Betaapps community is a part of crowd testing. It's mean that everyone can become a tester and of course you can be invited privately for more interesting projects, if your testing skills are good.

There are a lot of free testing programs there and you can join any of them, by the way I will share some information about other beta platforms where you can find paid projects in "crowd" section. Stay tuned and you will become a part of a big crowd testing project with paid opportunities and other awesome features.

You can also introduce yourselves there, and share that community with your friends. We are looking for active QA professionals there :highfive:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pino Fundez:
Hello, my situation is this: S3 Mini running Carbon Rom 4.4.4 , flashed with TWRP. After running great for a few weeks, suddenly after charging all night the phone froze ( was on FB on CM Browser). It was totally unresponsive to any attempts so I pulled the battery ( this did happen a couple times before) and when I tried to restart, nothing. The phone responds to nothing, no download, no recovery, no charger.... battery is charged and I did try a different battery to no avail. The only response I get is if it is connected to a PC before I install the battery then when I install it (the battery) the PC tries to install u8500 usb rom drivers, which of course it never finds. Samsung device drivers are installed on the PC. Odin also fails to see it.

Is it dead? Is it salvageable? Can I recover any data off it?

Sorry for the new thread but it seemed I could not find a case exactly like mine.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theov3rc0mer:
I had the same issue after flashing a wrong bootloader. I gave the phone back where I bought it telling that I doesn't know why he didn't started anymore. They replaced my telephone motherboard and now it works.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pino Fundez:
There's no warranty on my device so taking it back is not an option. The phone was working fine for while so I suppose it's not the bootloader... what suprised me is that it happened outta the blue, not during start up... thanks for the advice though mate.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theov3rc0mer:
I think you can try with an usb jig or you can find someone with a jtag (there are millions of guides about those solutions, just google it). :good:

Could you please link me to anything? Absolutely anything? i really need this phone alive :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pino Fundez:
basically from what I've read, the jig you either buy off Ebay for 3$ or solder 300kΩ across pins 4 and 5 of a micro usb connector, But look it up before cause a nuclear holocaust :p
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4v3r1cX:
Today i bought the usb jib and... no, it didn't work. God damn :(

I guess i'll just let the phone die and i'll buy a new one... it was a good phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pino Fundez:
Honestly, I didnt think the jig would work, which is why Im not in much haste to do it, before you dump it though mate, try and find someone close to you with a JTAG setup.... I havent had much luck with that.

It was an ok phone... either I had high expectations or it was below the hype but that is just my 2 cents... at the end of the day it was a useful tool....
