[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zofferrr:
Hi

First of all I'm back on Android and back on the forum after four years of iOS, really enjoying Android and the forum again!

I just got my Z3 for about 2 weeks now and I'm not getting the 2days out of my single charge, when I take the charger out at about 7 in the morning, I'm left with about 30-40% at 11 a'clock at night. I'm just wonderring if these 2 days should be able to reach with heavy whatsapp usage (groups, really almost receiving a couple of messages a minute ) and moderate Facebook, Snapchat, browsing, and maybe some app downloads? Are there some settings you guys recommend to increase battery life? (already using stamina, doesn't really make a big difference).

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
You can follow the battery life thread.

I have autosync, location and WiFi calling enabled and I still get 6-9 hours of screen time out of a 24 hr period with heavy usage with or without WiFi calling. At first I got no more than 5-6 Hrs screen time but as I used it and it settled/calibrated it got better.

Whats your signal strength like? It can have a big impact.

As for battery saving tips:

Try turning off or reducing the nunber of apps syncing. Facebook can also be a killer at times, I disabled, I barely use it and when I do need to I just use the mobile site.

Also turn off background WiFi scanning and set the following option -> WiFi off when screen off or on w/screen off only when connected to power.

Lastly try calibrating the battery as even Apple as you probably know reccomends for their devices:

1. Full drain

2. Full uninteruppted charge

3. Discharge with regular use to 0-1%

4. Full charge and use normally

As for stamina its not done anything for me either so I disabled it. More like placebo effect lol, I think they will fix it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zofferrr:
Thank you for quick response!

I've searched for a battery life thread but I couldn't find one, where can I find it?

My signal strength most of the time has all the bars, except at my house I have only one or two bars in various rooms, I didn't know about its big impact so this might indeed be a reason for my battery drain. Turned off almost all the syncing for my apps, and did the WiFi settings you mentioned, if the setting 'WiFi off when screen off" is enabled should my WiFi be of when I light up the screen without unlocking my phone or just really when the screen is off? Thanks for the tips, I hope I can get more hours out of it now!

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] gpux:
Greetings all Z7 users.

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in battery performance? When I first got the Z7 max it had the international ROM which was dreadful (lasted only a day without any use whatsoever). When I updated to 1.41 the battery would last close to 7 days with minimal usage. But now with minimal usage it only lasts 3.5 days.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Alex_GP:
On 1.41 en/cn rom I get about 2 days of normal usage (BT on all the time), 1 day of almost continuous mobile data during the day, and 4 days of standby, so I think that's ok?

I guess so, thanks for the feedback.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mlsvcbbn:
Hi.

One Hand UI is not a part of stock (official) ROM. It's facility for Huawei Ascend Mate (because it's big). You can add one hand ui only if you have rooted phone.

How to enable one hand ui in rooted phone: download build.prop editor from Google Play ...open it and add new row: "ro.config.hw_singlehand=1" (without quotes)....then save it..after that reboot your phone and you will have one hand option.

But it was present in stock B512.Anyway thanks for guide,It's now working.
[Android General] viper2097:
Hello xda-guys, devs, user and everyone else.

Since I got an Android phone, i startet to love it and still up today I can't imagine to have another mobile OS. When I swapped a few years ago to a MVNO, the pain begun:

When using your Android phone with a MVNO, it is saying that you are roaming. So you have to activate "data usage while roaming", get a lot of annoying warnings and if you live near a border, you can look forward to a very high phone bill.

This issue is only on Android, no Windows phone, no iOS, not even and unbelievable old Nokia does have this problems!

The problem is (well?) known at google since 2009 (!!!) and all over the world, but google is ignoring it:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3499

Unfortunately, most people around the world don't even know that this is a problem! Even the manuals from the MVNO's are saying that you just have to activate data usage while roaming, altough they know that this can rise your bill when you live near a boarder... (Or do they want exactley that?!)

I love my Android, but without any hacks or rooting to solve this problem, it is useless!

I don't want anymore to be forced to root my phones and search for a hack, patch or anything else when there is a new version.

Only Samsung implementet it in their firmware which solves this problem. But it can't be that I need to use only Samsung phones in the future?

With upcoming root "problems" of Lollipop and also ART it is getting more difficult to find solutions for that problem.

Maybe here on XDA, there are more people haveing the same annoying problem and are maybe also as fed up as I am about that problem.

So there is my question, what can we all together do, that this problem will be solved once and forever directly by google?!

I can't imagine that this is taking more time then two days of coding by one person sitting on the right place...

Sorry for my bad english and I hope that there are many other people like me sitting there and are also as fed up as I am about that problem. If i start to think about it, I would like to throw my phone away and start useing my brick old Nokias again.... I just can't understand why this problem isn't fixed since years...

PS: If I posted this in the wrong section, I'm sorry. Please move it then to the right section.
[Android General] viper2097:
Seems that the national roaming issue isn't annoying anyone other?
[Android General] gijs46:
This is definitely annoying me. My Xperia T had support for my MVNO built in, but my Huawei didn't until the last update (EMUI 3 beta). Xposed framework stopped working after an update, so I couldn't use the National Roaming plugin anymore. I was forced to enable roaming and download an app called network status notification. That way I could at least see if I was using 2g or 3g.

I have no idea how we can ask Google to do something about it, but if someone here on XDA can fix it, why can't Google fix it?

PS: EU roaming option would come in handy too

it works great for me!

it is open source but i don´t know how build apps... if somebody knows how to do the app is more then 1 year old but it works on lollipop and kitkat!

you only need root! no xposed!

Thank you for this tip! I've searched a lot and found only script based solutions or the way via the xposed framework -which I actually do not need!

My very late, in rush butt started running without realizing that my phone fell out. I got the phone back from a stranger after multiple attempts to unlock my phone and keep it. Anyways, my friends and I, we came to conclusion that my phone was ran over by a car, face down on the asphalt. Tech21 screen protector on it has multiple holes and dents from the surface of the asphalt. Luckily enough, everything is fine but the screen, of course. It cracked every where. Every tallest bumps of the road left a crack on the screen. I can barely read but actual screen is FINE. THANK GOD!!

SOOO end of story. I ordered repair kit on eBay but I was wondering if anyone went through changing the glass on Note 4 yet? am i the first one?? T.T

Edit: it's my first time replacing the glass but I've dealt with similar stuff before. If anyone would like a video of it, I could try to record it. If I crack my screen, people could cry with me or laugh at me.

Dropped my phone while riding my motorcycle. Glass cracked but the lcd and digitizer works fine. I ordered new glass online and called all the cell phone repair shops in my city. 1 person said that they have done it before so will be taking my phone this weekend to see if it can be fixed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendonsh:
It would work better if you had the machine to separate the glass from the screen. I will say if the screen is badly cracked up you might have a really low success rate.

why not just buy a whole screen? they are under $200 the last time i checked on ebay. less risk and less headache.

you can even try just the glass after you replace the screen just to do it and if it works you have a back up, if not no loss.

i have a machine and hardly use it cuz how bad people break their screens today, whole screen is the safe bet.

i don't know if its the same in your area but most places charge $100-150 to replace the glass and most places don't reapply new adhesive to the digitizer and glass . so the glass is being held onto the phone by the frame only.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kndchaos:
Like your signature says, it's a badass Note 4. I've been handling android phones since MotoDroid and I can guarantee you that there's no internal damage to Note 4. Im still a flashaholic and my phones battery life and performance hasn't been effected at all. Yay me :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parags1982:
I agree completely. I dropped the phone on the road while riding and except the top right corner crack on screen there is no damage. Somewhat surprising because i must be atleast 30 mph and the force with which it fell, should have broken into pieces. Not even the back cover came off the phone.

My screen cracked while snowboarding and Repairs Universe offers a new glass/digitizer assembly for $189. I contacted Samsung and they offered to repair it for $197.77, so for an additional $8 someone will do it for you. The only downside is you'll be without a phone for about 1.5-2 weeks.

I was worried about the stuff from Repairs Universe being genuine Samsung parts (wanna make sure I get a real 1440p screen and not Chinese knock off crap that's only 720p), so I contacted them. They assured me that it is a genuine Samsung screen, but they could have been lying to me just to get a sale. For that extra $8 I'll get genuine Samsung parts and it'll be getting done properly by someone that know what they're doing.

So for anyone that needs a new screen those are two options for you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxaarraa:
That's good to know, thanks for sharing. Yes, I agree, I'd go directly to Samsung as well, considering price is roughly the same.

Any chance you can share the phone/email of the department at Samsung you contacted? Would be good to have that handy.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
I went to their website on my phone, clicked on contact us, and did a live chat with one of their customer service people. It'll ask you to choose which product you're contacting them about (phones, TVs, appliances, etc) then what kind of phone. They'll ask for your IMEI number and all that jazz. I found them to be quite polite and helpful.

The only down side is you'll be without a phone for about 2 weeks, so make sure you have a backup phone to use or prepare yourself for terriblewithdrawal from not having your Note...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holycow1:
Yes, that's the price they charge. I was letting everyone know that these are the guys that Samsung uses. They use genuine OEM parts and are the only repair center in the United States authorized to do Samsung repairs. If you look earlier in the thread, someone said that Samsung charges $197.77 with a 1.5-2 week turn around. As you just said yourself, this method would be $5 cheaper and 2x faster than going through Samsung to get the same place to repair your phone. Just was putting it out there if someone wanted 100% assurance that they were getting genuine OEM parts but didn't want to wait 1.5-2 weeks that Samsung quoted them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxaarraa:
Yup same reason I haven't cancelled the tmo 'jump' subscription. You do have to factor in the $10 per month subscription price though, so if you break your phone in 10 months, it's $275.

Hello All,

About a month ago i have updated my Phone's frimware to 3.X.X speficied by Rom Devs like Viper ROM, Following Viper Rom's Steps i had to S-OFF My phone in the process as well as SUPER CID it.

Ever since Updating to the new firmware, my phone has emitted these symptoms listed bellow (Note, this is a generalization on all Android 4.4 ROMS and Lillipop ROMs i have used)

-Battery Life has been significantly reduced and phone heats up to warm tempretures.

-Phone radio continues to drop off and Data connectivity continues to become unreliable. (Both on 3g and LTE) *ive been using Optus (Australian Carrier) and now i am in Malaysia for the next few months i am now with Celcom)

-Random Reboots and Freezing

-Major Lag, reboot of phone SOMETIMES refreshes the speed *Diagnosis steps ive attempted was via dev settings limitting processes, Rom tweaking and kernals
