Update:

1. Batt drain

Remains without an explanation. My daily use profile is basically the same as before the update. 3PM and I am at 28%, with stamina on. I can´t recall a day, running kitkat, that I would hit the charger at night with 28% of batt remaining (and I still have 4h to go). It was always on 40% ish. GSAM is reporting that 47% of the batt drain is caused by apps and, from that, 30% is represented by android core apps + android system + kernel. I might be wrong, but I think it is related to reindexing, contact + agenda sync etc and it will probably get lower eventually (I hope!)

2. Phone App giving errors

I think I have isolated the problem. It seems to be caused by TrueCaller.

3. Lock screen

Regarding the drop down menu, It is clear now that what I think is a problem is, in fact, by design and there is no way around it without rooting. But regarding the notifications, I just removed both activesync accounts and I started getting notifications in the lock screen again. So, my guess is that there is a policy of some sort that is being interpreted by the phone as it should hide all notifications from the lock screen.

In fact, there are lots of things that got blocked / disabled because of those policies. Here is a list of things that were disabled and now appear to be working again, after the removal of the activesync accounts:

. notifications are showing again in the lock screen;

. smart lock;

. screen lock options (none, swipe, pattern);

note: I thought that I would be able to enable services in Accessibility, like LastPass or App Advisor by Norton, but it still does not work (I try to enable any of them, but pressing "ok" on the warning dialog does nothing and the only option working is "cancel").

Thinking about resetting it again...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brik20:
Hi, if problems are persistant you can always downgrad software at KitKat by using FlashTool and wait Lollipop 5.1 (5.1 will probably solve many problems).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy lion:
A new firmware version has dropped for the Z3 which I think fixes your issues with notifications.

I received it OTA yesterday, I'm running the Balkans customisation.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StealthNet:
Thank you for the tip! I hope it does! Will keep it posted here just for the reference. I am starting to feel other "symptoms" as well, like bluetooth instability (you pair a device and it stops working, have to pair again).

Just hit another weird thing.

I am not being able to create a new vpn connection. I am trying to use the PureVPN and IPVanish client software, but when I try to setup the conection, I receive a disclaimer, saying that my traffic might be monitored, with a "CANCEL" and "OK" options. The OK doesn´t work, only "CANCEL".

My device is encrypted and I have also noticed that I am not able to decrypt it.

Also, If I go to Accessibility and try to enable a service, the same thing happens: a disclaimer appears, saying that the service might observe my actions, with a "CANCEL" and "OK" options. The OK doesn´t work, only "CANCEL".

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StealthNet:
Ok, just a quick fup: the ability to create VPNs from apps is disabled if you encrypt the phone. It seems that if you create if before encrypting, it won´t be disabled; but you wont be able to create a new vpn from an app downloaded, after encryption.

Regarding the Accessibility > Services, after a *lot* of research, I have found that Twilight was the culprit. For the reference:

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I looked and didn't see any battery related threads on the Sprint HTC One M9 forum, so please correct me if I am mistaken and should be posting elsewhere.

When the applications were timing out (an LTE issue that appears to have been resolved or being resolved by Sprint), I noticed my battery draining. I thought it was related to those applications, but I am noticing the following:

1) Excellent battery use when phone is on standby (screen not on)

2) Battery drains at about 1% every two minutes when browsing the web, which would give about 3.33 hours of usage. I'm trying to determine if that is normal for this phone, as with the same settings the M8 was much better. It does appear to be what is being measured: http://www.trustedreviews.com/htc-one-m9-review-battery-life-call-quality-and-verdict-page-6

I am curious what others are noticing with battery usage when the phone is on and being used, for example web browsing for about ten minutes (that would appear to drain the battery by 5%)?

This is with no power saving options enabled, but I am using auto screen dim.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
Screen on time of 3 hours is pretty normal. That's about all I can add. Only phones like the note and the one max got more.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Is anyone else getting better than about 3.5 hours of actual screen on time (SOT)?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Sim-X:
Mine seems pretty good. I do run greenify and my phone is connected to wifi a lot. I also keep my brightness down. I have no problem getting through the day with moderate use. LTE certainly drains more batter which when connected to wifi I sometimes will set my phone to CDMA only since LTE is a waste to only get texts over. Comparable to my m8, running bad Boyz.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
I usually can go a whole day on one charge, this is from today and I watched 2 movies and ran slacker and YouTube quite a bit today. You can also see how often the signal crapped out.

Edit: I only use data on sprint network and don't use Wi-Fi
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ccs86:
I have noticed a dive in battery life recently. I wonder if an update is to blame.

Usage stats shows peel remote using like 17% during screen off and I never use that app. No settings go to turn it off and can't uninstall.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] P_M_G:
I'm not at all impressed or even pleased with the battery life. From off charge and sitting in my car unused for 55 minutes + 1 text and 5 minutes of browsing I dropped 7%.

I am hoping that part of it is the phone's radio problems in B41 areas causing it to work harder thus burning battery. However, I shouldn't have to disable LTE. In the general M9 forums there's a thread where it seems like 6+ hours SOT should be the acheivable, in which case it's really a bummer. I also think there's still a leak somewhere in Lollipop. My M7 on BadBoys KK would run like a champ all day and then some (like getting home with 65% after being in a crap signal area but still on wifi), but when updated to Lollipop I noticed an immediate drop in battery life, similar to what I'm seeing now. I'm lucky to get home with 30% remaining.

[MENTION=4342677]ccs86[/MENTION] Not sure why you can't uninstall peel - I just did.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ccs86:

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I've yet to get more than 3.5 SOT hours, while the standby time is great.

I'd love to hear feedback of ideas from anyone on Sprint that has more than 3.5 SOT hours.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
3 hours is average for a phone 3.5 is pretty good actually.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] racingmatt1:
brightness on auto,3g/lte on for two hours and Wi-Fi on for rest of time. I only played fallout shelter for 10 minutes. Power saver on the whole time. Can anyone help me ?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] graycorgi:
That's about what I'm getting on mine... 3-3.5hrs SOT max. 60% battery remaining with 1:38 SOT looks good to me. I see people who have the M9 that are not on Sprint posting about 5+ hours SOT. I don't know if that means there is a Sprint-specific problem, or if they are just getting really lucky.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ccs86:
My biggest issue is from sporadic wake lock from AudioIn / Googlequicksearchbox

I am not using a Google widget. The voice detection doesn't work with screen off, so it obviously shouldn't wakelock the phone.

Install wakelock detector o betterbatterystats.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krishna Eyunni:
The Best thing is first calibrate you're battery and see if it works or you just charge you're phone to 100 present and just keep you device a side and see if you're battery is draining again just go and see which app is draining you're battery and delete that app or do a factory reset ..!! Make sure to calibrate you're battery first

Calibrating : download and app called advance battery calibrate and follow the instructions given by that app and shut down you're device and charge you're device offline and after charging it 100 present then reboot and see it should work

If no : might be problem in you battery...!!?

Note : start calibration when you phone is about to die i.e when you're phone is at 5 to 6 present of battery left
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bromoxitos:
wow!!!!!

that was great i will test it for sure mate to see if really works and if i can make the battery works normally again.

Thanks a lot again for all this infos.

my best regards again:good:
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
Battery calibration apps just wipes batterystats.bin which is also wiped when 100% is reached, then they are just placebo, they won't hurt the battery.

Offline charge might help if there's an app draining and heating the phone during charge, it might take longer to charge if you have an app draining battery.

Best you can do is to not let battery runs under 15% and try to not completely depleat the battery.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] aeromach10:
Hi all,

This is my first post on the forum!

I have a XT910 bought in Nov 2011. The phone is from Asia Region. I faced the well known SMS issue on this device on Asia Retail 4.0.4. Initially there was no problem but later it just randomly started. Fed up I rooted the device and flashed the EU JB Official ROM from this forum. Later on I have since installed Cyanogenmod (using Safestrap and done a dual boot with my stock ROM intact). The problem I face these days is that the phone is too slow / sluggish / unresponsive at times and it really drives me crazy. The problem occurs usually when I open some heavy app like Chrome or do some "new" activity .. like a new app installed and configured etc. The thing is this slowness is visible in both the stock / cyanogen mod. I have been on CM10.2 to 12.1 now but the problem exists always. I have done multiple reflashes / formats for CM as well as factory resets for the stock ROM but the issue does eventually crop up after a few days. I have observed the following though using various tools:

1. RAM usage is almost touching 85%+ but rarely do I have less than 50MB of RAM left.

2. Processor also seems to be okay

3. The I/O on the disk is too high tough. Sometimes I have seen GB of data "written" just when opening a blank chrome window (using System Monitor Lite). I wonder if my on board flash memory is to blame? I also have an external class 10 16GB SD card, though removing this doesn't seem to give any performance boosts.

I have been facing this problem almost since I moved to the EU JB ROM about 1.5 yrs back, though I must say the Asia Retail ICS wasn't really fast either.

What are your opinions / troubleshooting hints that I can follow or do you think the phone is plain simple too old and really needs to be replaced?

Thanks.

Hello again guys..

100+ views but no replies!!! :eek:

Any help will be appreciated :) Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] angrist:
Installed the monitor. That monitor app reports estimated transfer speed not amount data transferred. I.e. installing chrome is done at about 790kb/s. Since I don't have the paid version I cannot see how much it takes to open chrome. At least you know that it is not heat forcing your processor to throttle.

Doing RSD can be a better approach. And then factory reset WITH internal sdcard deletion. Just in case you have bad file system.

You explain in the post that first rooted then installed EU ROM over an asian phone. I don't think it would have worked but if it did, maybe rom is not working well with your kernel. Do a Rsd or flash the corresponding kernel. Second choice have gave me troubles before, so be ready to rsd.

Minimal installation of gapps. Avoiding heavy launchers like aviate. Using .nomedia files to disable media search in certain folders.

Not messing with ad blockers or location services or permissions for a while. Also ohmster had an interesting post in cm11 thread about what he does to get a better experience.

I've been using Jeyo Mobile Companion for a while now: http://www.jeyo.com/companion.asp

It's great, you can SMS from your PC with it, manage your contacts (SIM or memory), use it as a task-manager, device screenshots, etc... Very useful program, but, doesn't work with Vista/WM6. Emails to support go unanswered (for months now) and they don't respond to users in their forums.

Does anyone know of something similar that works with WM6/Vista...? Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] monakh:
JMC works with WM6/Vista.

There is a work-around to make it work though. You have to go into the menu that says 'Install cab file', and then it opens up the browse window. Once in that window, click the network icon on the bottom in the left hand frame. You will see a message at the bottom saying 'Starting Device Agent' and as long as you are connected to your device via Windows Mobile Center, you will see stuff like you used to.

Edit: I see you have already registered and posted on their forums about v2.0. Does this workaround not work for you? It works OK for me.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
It worked for WM5/Vista, but doesn't work for WM6/Vista.

Dude, chill out. I was trying to help and not say that 'it works for me so screw you'. My point was that since it's working for me, perhaps you could look into your non-working config a bit more to see if you can fix it. That's all. You said it doesn't work with WM6 & Vista and I corrected you. That's all.

Sheesh. Can't even help anyone these days without being dumped on.
[HTC Excalibur] PhoenixAG:
I think its better to try and contact the developers. If the Network workaround doesn't work, then I am not sure anything will.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Really, I was (am) happy for you. It's just one of a few Dash-frustrations I've encountered since upgrading to WM6. Not sure why mine won't work. At one point, I was able to get it working by manually copying the file over that JMC uses on the device, and then manually running it on the device. Jeyo support doesn't respond, and I think they've all but abandoned their spam-ridden forums. Have given up for now, hope they come out with an update, it's a great product.
[HTC Excalibur] monakh:
As mentioned already, the Jeyo team is incredibly unresponsive. They are possibly the worst software development team that develops great software. It's almost like the engineers are also the CSRs who have no regard for customer service.

There forums are being spammed constantly by spambots advertising p0rn. It's ridiculous.

its such a "work-around" solution though. Surely there has to be a way to do this directly through recovery/when flashing the rom?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I don't see how you find that a workaround solution. They're files, the universal standard for deleting files is via file management software. There's no way to do it via recovery, you could create a flashable script but that's the true workaround solution.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twacrs:
yea, I guess so. Not as satisfying though...

So I just delete the apks in /system/app ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yep. Or Titanium can remove system apps, it's a bit easier that way because they're all in one list. In the /system/app directory they're in sub-folders on Lollipop.

it fastboots, gets into recovery, but there is no option to install from zip.

options in recovery i have are:

reboot system now

apply update from adb

wipe data factory reset

wipe cache partition

reboot to bootloader

power down

view recovery logs

Any ideas?

That sounds like stock recovery now I think about it. I recently was looking at the commit that Intel added for viewing the recovery log.
[Dell Venue] nickshertzer:
Is there any update on getting root on the new Venue 10 5050? Perhaps there is something I can pull from the firmware of the device that would aid in getting a proper exploit working to use the tethered CWM...

I honestly thought I could deal without root as it is so close to stock Android. But like the OP mentions, Dell loaded so much crap into /system. McAffee? Really Dell?

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Success!

Here is how I managed to root the Dell Venue 10 5050 32GB running 5.0.2:

Install Intel ADB drivers from here: IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.9.0.zip

Use the beta tethered CWM release from Feb: IntelAndroid-FBRL 05-16-2015 Public Trail Release

The 2nd method "T2" is what worked. There was an OEM Command Not Found when it tried to reboot to Recovery. I just hit VOL UP button and it kicked off the tethered recovery!!

Now I was in CWM, but I did not have access to /sdcard. So, I grabbed a micro SD, copied "SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and installed ZIP from external SD. Hit reboot and fix root. ART had to rebuild the cache, so I waited past the "Android is Upgrading" screen for about 10 minutes.

Voila! Now I have working root on the Dell Venue 10 5050 build SOC101A203400DEL Android 5.0.2 :cool:
[Dell Venue] bobtroy:
awesome job!

question, when I do this root am I going to have to reroot it everytime Dell updates? I notice they update this tablet a lot since its newish. Out of curiosity, what did you remove as far as bloatware?
