[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcolorenzo:
From the look of the previous posts, it seems that it is a hardware issue (which means the LP update somehow caused a hardware malfunction) since reverting back to KK still doesn't fix it. Am I right in this assumption?

Also, I didn't read through all the previous 11 pages or so of this thread but it seems like most people managed to have the problem fixed by replacing the battery with the exception of Kik3san whose problem came back after a few days. Is this true? I just want to know before attempting to change the battery myself (I don't know of any Sony service centres around me) so that it was not all for nothing.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
You are correct. Problem was fixed by replacing the battery for most everyone. Doing it yourself is super easy, you just might lose the waterproofing.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkimmortal:
It's almost certainly not the fault of lollipop, just coincidence that the battery was well aged by the time most of us installed lollipop, and the overall dodgy rep of lollipop drew attention to battery life. I remember for a fact that one of the reasons I rushed to install a non-UK lollipop just after release was in the hope of better battery life

Also don't take the back off if your Z1C is bent by a tiny amount (hold it up and align it with something straight to check), it will not go back on properly ever again, will repeatedly peel off around the camera
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profyler:
I will disagree a little. For me LP immediatley damaged the battery just after the update. I havent see anyone with battery drop using kk and never updated to LP. For me LP did something
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kik3san:
Yes for me it came back after battery replace by Sony, now my carrier has sent it back to Sony because I still have the problem but I have to wait for one week or more until Sony told me what's going with my Z1C.

I'm very sad and concerned because I have the issue after battery replace so I'm afraid my issue is not related to battery but motherboard related.

EDIT: Also I started to have the problem with KitKat that's why I think is not related to my LP update.

Just got my battery from china today. I opened the phone and saw that the original battery was a little stuffed, not much, but visible.

I bought mine from Aliexpress and the vendor said its original. Honestly, it doesnt look original; the printing and the chip plug looks kinda different, but anyway, i changed it myself. Got a little trouble ripping NFC Tag, i cut a little of the filament, but did not damage after i tested it. But be careful with that guys. Im making some test rightnow, will report later, but im almost sure the drop is over :good:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Hey all

When I did a search for this topic, it seems alot of people are having this issue.. So I guess if Google cant track us using Google Maps (Remember that always on), theyre now using Google play itself...

Im using an Unbranded HTC One M8 LolliPop 501 (v4.16.401.10), unrooted...

Googe play is consuming 50% of my battery usage.. I have "Location Services" set to "Battery Saving" Mode and "Location History" OFF. Ive disabled/uninstalled apps I dont use.. Twitter, FaceBook, Foursquare, Google Play Music, Google Games, Kids Mode... Ive also noticed that one of the google updates is "Android System Web View". I have read around the web and the GP store itself.. that this webview is causing mixed issues, so... Do I need this installed if I dont use Chrome.. I use FireFox (Both on phone and on home pc with chrome plugin).

Can anyone advice me of ways around this battery drain with the Goggle Play Services

Cheers
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
You can, at a start, disable all location services and the GPS receiver. That will help enormously. Of course, you won't be able to use things like mapping services, but you can always re-enable the GPS if you need those. This doesn't require root, and has a noticeable benefit.

If you are willing to root, though, you can use a program like App Ops to disable wakelocks for your top offenders. I disabled wakelocks for Google Play Services on every device I own, and there are no visible issues other than improved battery life. I'm not sure why Google has that service wake the phone up so much, but it's absurd. You can't kill the service entirely, at least not without taking out a lot of Google functionality, but it DOES NOT need wakelocks to operate correctly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirreer:
I had the same problem with google services. From my observations, I concluded that google services and facebook's location polling are the culprits. My solution is as follows:

Go into Google Settings -> Security -> and disable all options here.

Also go into Location -> Google Location History -> disable location history.

Also, you can either disable facebook altogether, or at least disable location polling to reduce the battery drain.

Let us know if this helps, so other users can take advantage of it.

Cheers
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Thanks for the tips.. and I was actually coming online to share all my findings anyway :) Ive done all of what you suggested. I dont use "Life Intruder" (faceBook) on my mobiles anyway.

As well as what you suggested, I also .. Disabled/uninstalled the apps mention in my OP, then after some research Ive found that "Android System Webview" is only for Chrome, so Ive disabled it and changed to FireFox instead, cleared both Chrome and webview Cache in Apps, Rebooted my M8 and its on 80% after 19 hrs.

Another Massive battery drains which I found is keeping GPS Location in Camera turned on all the time. / Auto Sync turned ON and "Location" in Settiings set to High Accuracy. Turn asll these down / Off or Battery Saving Mode. When you install an App that uses Locations, such as Foursquare or HERE maps.. Goto Location and check the App is set to Battery Saving, Not High Accuracy

If your like me and a light to moderate user, who uses their phone mainly for Media ... Boomsound, Camera, BlinkFeed and gaming. Then I dont really need Google Location Services.

Also Turn Off GPS and WiFi when not in range. You can also Turn OFF mobile data, but I find 4G pretty efficient compared to 3G, so I leave it ON.

If you use Google Drive DroipBox or other Ckoud Apps, set them Download your Files over "Wifi Only"

Its just a shame HTC didnt create a Location Icon in the Notifications Panel, but its not too bad.

Hope this helps others :)

Hello,

i bought an app 'EasyCap Viewer' that should allow to connect an analog camera to an android tablet/smartphone

I installed it on my tablet Acer A500 (nvidia tegra 2, android 4.0.3)

When i start the app, the screen stays black for a few seconds, than the system window appears telling that the app is not responding.

Looking the logcat, sees that the last action done by the activity, is load the Gstreamer library : libgstreamer_android.so

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FerSch:
Hello,

I have an Android KitKat device (Samsung Galaxy Core 2) and I'm having very poor battery life.

I installed GSam battery monitor and Wakelock detector and found that there is a process called "mrvlgpshal" in kernel wakelocks which keeps my phone awake 98% of the time. I attach an image that shows this.

I have already tried a hard reset and the phone company has reinstalled the original software and the process is still there, so I deduce it is not a virus.

I have also tried what says here (with no results): http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/kitkat-battery-drain-fix-t2761570

Does anyone have an idea about what this process could be and how this issue could be fixed.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ferg8080:
I've had my Z Ultra for some time now and I'm thinking of getting a magetic charger. I did get a cheap one some time ago which wasn't embedded in a stand but just sat directly on the contacts on the side of the phone. Unfortunately it would fall off at the slightest movement. I've recently spotted chargers with stronger magnets which are a lot more robust for the Sony Zs but couldn't find one for the ZU. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one for the ZU without having to use the dock and with a decent charge rate.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
I think all of them are cross compatible across all Xperia phones, I have bought one of them from AliExpress and it was originally meant for Xperia Z2 but it fits my ZU perfectly. Just yeah, don't buy the cheapest ones, it should cost about 6-9 dollars, the best ones are these with the charging indicator led, they have really nice magnets. I will add a link tomorrow.

I was wondering if anybody knows of a battery case that doesn't plug into the phone itself and make the phone longer?

I'm looking for a battery case that not only has wireless charging capabilities but also just charges the phone wireless-ly when you switch it on. I mean it's already touching the back of the phone so why not just put the coil right there? Of course, this may be inefficient and there may be heat issues, but just wondering if anyone has seen a case out there that is like this?

I don't know if such thing exists or doesn't make sense with todays tech but I think it would be cool.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] btothec:
I haven't seen one and I have looked at everything on amazon trying to find something that I like. I generally do not use a case on my phone, but I have been looking for a battery case for conventions / traveling. Funny thing is I do not mind the section on the bottom that makes it longer. If I could get a small simple case that had that extended bottom that forced the speaker to face forward I would get it. I hate how the speaker faces down.
[General Questions and Answers] esmonik.7:
Hi, We´ve been using the DSRL controller on a Hewlett Packard slate 7 Tablet for a year now, we have a Canon 5D Mark ii and we were using the TP-LInk TL-MR3040. The last project we did with the equipment was in Febraury and we had no problem whatsoever to connect via the TP-LInk or plug-in the tablet via USB to the camera.

This week we are trying to work again with the same equipment but everytime we try to connect the tablet (via wi-fi) through the TP-link it says that it is not possible to athenticate the IP and when we try to do it by connecting the camera to the tablet (by USB) it says that it cannot find a compatible DSRL camera... We already tried to uninstall the DSRL controller software and installing it again, as well we have erased from the tablet the wifi DSRLCONTROLLER and search for it again and rewriting the password (dsrlcontroller) but nothing seems to work...

The HP tablet has the version of android 4.4.2 and we have the DSRL controller 0.99.6

What shall we do?

Should I try to reset all the equipment?

Do I have to reinstall the DSRL CONTROLLER custom firmware on the TP-LInk?

I received a brand new Galaxy Note 4 from Sprint a few months ago to replace a problematic LG G2, but didn't activate it until last week (it sat in it's box prior to that and wasn't even turned on). At first, it worked great, but recently it has been losing Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz (I think) WiFi connectivity every day or so (usually when I wake up in the morning), and the only way to get it back is to restart the phone.

Has anyone heard of this? Or have any suggestions on troubleshooting or resolutions?

Thanks very much!

Three things to mention:

1) I did the tap & go to transfer my data from my old LG G2 (running some version of Android 4.x - I can't remember which one specifically) to my Note 4, but that was a week or so ago and the problems only started in the last few days.

2) The Note 4 came with a version of Android 4.x, but I updated it to Android Lollipop - again, this was done a week or so ago and the device seemed to work with no issues after doing it.

3) I am using the Samsung Gear 2 watch with the phone via Bluetooth but it seems all BT connectivity dies when the above issue happens (such as no ability to connect it to my car BT, etc.)

Thanks for any assistance!
