Update:

Interesting update:

Powered the phone off to pull the battery and check it out as I am looking for a new battery on ebay.

When I power the phone up, it now says battery is at 67%

- this makes me concerned that there is a hardware problem with the power management system in the phone...

thoughts?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonathanrobertbolton:
"bump"

Any help, all. I would really appreciate your insight.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kegobeer:
I'd start by buying a new battery. 1.5 years is a long time for a rechargable battery.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kagudesu:
I am having the EXACT same problem.

I even bought an OEM Sanyo on eBay. No change. Then, I complained to Cingular and they replaced the phone (it took a LOT of complaining).

I put the new battery in the new phone, totally vanilla install. It worked great for a couple of hours, then the problems started happening again.

WTF? New phone, new battery and it's still happening.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonathanrobertbolton:
Yeah - probably no way any level of complaining is going to score me a new phone from Cingular because of the age. I have a new battery on the way, but I am worried that it might be something with the charging circuit or something. Wish somebody with some expertise would speak up on this...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Junner2003:
If you are lucky: they sell extended batteries on eBay. I bought me one for my TMO USA VARIO. The stand-by times are really amazing!

In case you consider to buy an extended one make sure that it comes with the battery door as pictured at the link below!

In general the prices on eBay are very low, so, if you are planning to keep your phone a bit longer you might want to buy 2 or 3 batteries at once? (Saves shipping and I really expect that the batteries will soon not be available any longer since the WIZ is discontinued.)

I had this problem. Looping reboots, might work for 5 minutes but then a constant cycle of reboots. Mine is a years and 2 months old.

I though it was the phone and was ready to ditch it. The battery showed a good charge.

I bought a OEM battery off of eBay for 10 bucks and the phone has not had one issue since.

No question it was the battery in my case.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonathanrobertbolton:
Excellent. Thanks for the response. New battery was purchased last week and should be here soon, so I'll let you know how that turns out.

Might also take a look at the extended battery - seems like a neat feature, although it looks like it would keep the phone from fitting in my car stand (I use tomtom with it).

I'll post a reply when I find out if it is indeed the battery.

Thanks again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ray_jai:
Its a battery issue.

I had this problem before.

I would charge my phone using some 3rd party cradle and some how it screws my battery up.

for exmaple. The phone would say the battery is fully charged. but when i use it. the phone only lasts 5 mins.

after awhile. not matter how i charge the battery the battery never went to it's full charge. and like you, it keeps looping.

this was an OEM battery that i had for less then a year.

i got a random cheap battery off ebay to test it. and now it works fine.

i threw out the old battery.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonathanrobertbolton:
UPSATE

UPDATE: It was..... the battery. Easy OEM replacement off ebay for less than 5 bucks. Running like a champ again. Thanks for the insight. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.

Cheers!

Ever since I got lollipop my messages notification doesn't show up. Anyone know how to fix this I have tried to find answers but to no avail and I have tried settings any help would be much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
I ran into the same problem, using Textra for messaging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] superp32:
Using textra fixed it or using textra has the same issue ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
Textra has the same issue. GF almost went ballistic when I missed a couple of texts. Got that straightened out, but not the notifications.

Edit: Just sent myself a text. No sound, no vibration; but I did get a notification on my lock screen. Using Hi Locker for lock screen.

[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Need solution for these problems...

1) Tried almost 3-4 Lollipop ROMS...But in all ROMS,after installing RAM consuming apps like FB , Messenger , Whatsapp etc..the phone is too much laggy...When an incoming call comes, the ringtone starts ringing,but the dialer opens only after 5-10 seconds..this is too much irritating..I have to wait till the name of the caller comes but the ringtone starts ringing before itself.....I know this problem is due to over consumption of RAM,but looking for an way to get away from this problem

2) Next important one is audio... In all the lollipop roms, the sound of the loudspeaker sounds like a third class chinese phone..too much noise and no clarity at all..Need an immediate solution for this audio problem. (already tried the sound settings in kernel adiutor like u said in the main post but still too much of noise)
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
1- like i said in the op the greenify app will help to reduce the consumption of RAM (try to greenify FB and messenger) and put cpu settings to smartassv2 that will be good ....and by the way i only had this problem when i installed RRM2 ..just in the first day but after greenify and kernel auditor nothing happened to me (on vanir and cm12.1 i didn't face like this problem) :D

2- this is the only way i think to make the volume up ....but i really didn't get noise on my phone ...you put it between 4-6 right? cuz higher that than that music will be noisy for sure :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP General] itsjustbob:
Or alternatively install Viper4Android and adjust from there. I think you can add that
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
that's right but faux sound is more safe than the viper4android cuz you can't make sure it won't give you a bootloop on all the ROMs but faux sound can run on all of them cuz it's a kernel customization ;)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
This doubt is not regarding Lollipop..This is a general doubt...

During over RAM usage,some apps are automatically closed right..? But still however less the Free RAM is,some system apps are never closed.

I want messenger to never be closed at any situation. What should I do..?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
that's right :good:

then you can just hibernate all other apps expect messenger and you will be good to go :)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Yes...but every time I lock my phone and unlock it after some time and open messenger app,it starts to reconnect although my internet was always on...

And if I lock my phone, my "online" status gets into "offline"...In messenger, I want my status to be "online" all the time.. (My phone's internet is always on)
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
what ROM are you using?....are you sure you didn't hibernate the messenger? do you have any apps to boost you RAM or something ?what cpu governor are you using
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Using VanirAOSP..

I didn't hibernate the messenger

No,no such apps..

Smartass governor
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
that's weird my friend...i don't face like this problems ...but the idea is i don't think you can stay online when your screen is off :confused:

did you stay online like this on stock based ROM ?
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
No bro...never stayed online when the screen is off..

But asking whether there is a way to do that by keeping messenger always open in background..(like how the phone services are always on)
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
no,, there is nothing like that i think it's about phone managing your apps and the management of RAM..so there is no way to do that as far as i know :)

Hi,

[Xperia SP General] Andreus94:
And about headphones? I have traditional samsung headphones and the music and volume don't change with the buttons, when the screen is on, the button works like a "mouse left button" to select an icon....

some suggestions?
[Xperia SP General] OsGhaly:
I found that CM12.1.1 by Marcelo is the only ROM -so far- that headphone's buttons are working as they should with it
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
it's not something that you can solve with an app it think my friend (it's from the ROMs ) but like [MENTION=5690812]OsGhaly[/MENTION] said you can flash cm12.1 if you need this thing too work so much :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP General] Andreus94:
thanks ... I guess then I will sacrifice this function;)

your headphones work with other ROMs or this is an Lollopop ROM's issue :confused:
[Xperia SP General] eduardo_rl29:
jajaja sorry my friend, I have the last build (20151216), i wrote wrong the build D:, but I have the same problem in the last build.

the headset button not working (play/puase music)

-----Key Test App-----

Keycode:0

KeyCode=KEYCODE_UNKNOWN

Thanks
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
ok so u can try this please ....go to (root/system/usr/keylayout/msm8960-snd-card_Button_Jack.kl) open and edit the line like in this link and please report back ..good luck :)

p.s: ADRIAN DC told me this so if it did work then the credits go to him ;)
[Xperia SP General] eduardo_rl29:
The headset button, It is now working.

Thanks for all :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::good::highfive:

Hello Guys

i need help i have Xsperia SP C5303

AICP is upgrading 82 itens BUT is does not finish is alwas on loop what happen?

Cyangen Recover how to add files??
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
you need to flash t-kernel v2.2 twrp with fastboot then go into recovery and flash t-kernel v3.0 and then wipe cache and dalvickcache and then reboot to system :)
[Xperia SP General] RiccardoSpampi:
[MENTION=5651106]flash-[/MENTION]

Could you post the steps to flash t-kernel with fastboot mode? Thank you
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
first please download the drivers of the sony xperia sp,,,,or you can do that in second way: when you connect your xperia sp in fastboot mode the pc will automatically download the needed drivers :)

to get in fastboot mode (turn off your phone....keep pressing on the volume+ button then connect your phone with the original usb cable to the pc)

2-download this...and then extract it to C:\fastboot then extract form t-kernel .zip the tangerine.elf to c:/fastboot....then open the command terminal and type this two lines :

fastboot flash boot tangerine.elf

(after it finishes type the second line)

fastboot reboot

hope this helps you and you get out of your problem real quick (if you have any problems in this process please searh in Google to learn ...if you didn't find post here and i'll try to help you :) )

good luck :good:

if the first .zip didn't work ...wipe everything in C:\fastboot and extract this to it and then try again

battery?

Hi everyone i just need to know which ROM has the most battery because right know im on aicp and im experiencing some battery drain for example i charge my phone at night 100% when i wake up its about 82%. Is there anything i can do. One more thing yes i have applied the aicp battery saving technique and i m a normal user who just calls or just watches YouTube for a little while.:confused::confused:
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
that's weird my friend cuz i'm on AICP and i didn't even apply the settings for battery saving and i sleep with 100% and wake with 98% maybe :p ......first of all charge your phone to 100% and let go all the way down to 0% and then charge it to 100% again >>>>make sure you put your cpu governor to smartassv2 and to greenify the apps by (greenify app )like fb and viber or google play services and stuff.....turn off the auto sync for your accounts and the auto backup of google account .....turn off your gps if you are using it :)

hope this helps my friend....need anything else tell me ;) ....good luck :good:

[Xperia SP General] sarbjot1:
thanks for the advice

i just wanted to ask do i drain the battery by just standby (not use it) or i use it until it gets to 0% then charge it to 100%:confused:
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
no my friend ...use it until it reaches 0% then give it a full charge to 100% :)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Gonna flash the AICP Rom...Just need to know which kernel should I flash...
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
no kernel for now ...wait until tomoms release the t-kernel v4.0 :)

but you can flash it anyway and wait two days until he release it and then flash t-kernel with it ;)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Ok bro...I'm confused to choose between AICP and CM 12.1....Can u plz list out the major differences of those two..? in terms of performance,battery...

I was using Omni 4.4 until now..Now again willing to come back to 5.1....
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
1-actually my friend in AICP there are a lot of customizations which cm12.1 barely have them

2-now almost of the users know that the AICP ROM is the best maybe in performance in 5.1 ROMs

3-for me i hate to flash cm12.1 cuz a lot of changes are happening right now and every two days there is a update for it.... and AICP still better in everything i think :)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
thanks bro...another question..

sorry if its noobish,,

AICP is entirely different from CM right..? or AICP is based on CM?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
no my friend AICP is built on top of cm sources with some customization included :p

and don't worry we all want learn,, so if i know the answer of your (q) i'll be glad to answer you :)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Kind of u bro..!!!

I have stopped using Facebook app and messenger app due to the heavy RAM consumption...

Is the apps are still laggy in AICP latest build..?

And I think there is another bug in 5.1 ROMS..When a call comes,the phone starts ringing but the caller name appears only after few seconds..Is the bug still there..?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
Is the apps are still laggy in AICP latest build..?

for now yes cuz there is no t-kernel included which mean you can't modify the cpu and i/o settings :p

Is the bug still there ?

for me i don't have this problem in AICP latest build (i have it on RRM3) but now no :D
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
Hmm..Thanks bro..

According to you..Is the Lollipop ROMS better than Kitkat ROMs ( Considering Xperia SP)...In terms of everything..stabilty,performance,battery,RAM Management...
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
i'm afraid i can't answer that ... i jumped from 4.3 to 5.1 ROMs (|but according to some users there is a kitkat ROM called pa beta 4 they say it's very fast and smooth ) :)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
kk bro.. ;) :p

I have been using pa for many days,,Yes,It's stable..but it lacks customization...
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
so i think it back to you to decide what ROM you want to use :p
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
haaa...ok bro...

Which is the best way to increase the Loudspeaker volume of the phone..? V4A or Kernel Adiutor?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
two are good actually (i prefer faux sound with kernel Adiutor) :)
[Xperia SP General] vgowtham97:
flashed AICP...Expecting some lagginess...Wiped data,cache,internal storage before flashing,,...

Whether flashing older versions of Tangerine help me?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
t-kernel isn't compatible now with the updated ROMs so you have to wait two days until tomoms release the v4.0

or if there too much lags and you can't handle it flash back to kk or to some other lollipop ROM :)

Hi, i am using xperia performance max ultra rom 4.3 .207, can i flash aicp 5.1.1 on this ?? Just being cautious before starting the flash...

and to have twrp recovery cuz it's recommended :)

and then flash the AICP ;)
[Xperia SP General] digory007:
Thank you for the information.... i forgot to ask about the kernel ... the kernel tat comes with the rom is fine or do i need to flash tangerine ?? Please suggest which will be better on battery life and performance.... Thank you once more

thx ,..and battery life ? :) adjustment Kernel Adiutor? ;):o
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
battery life is good//in kernel auditor i put these settings :

more battery less performance for sure :cowboy:

so you can modify things your to make it suit you

search on google about i/o...cpu governors...gpu too....that could be helpful

if you want to know what other people do (for me i do this ) :

cpu 1.8//smartassv2

gpu 200mhz//ondeamnd

i/o zen //read ahead 128

i wanna ask something, (i hope this is the correct place, lol)

i'm in cm12.1, the rom itself is fluid, and performance issues, only thing that might be a problem is battery, but it's not a big deal for me.

now i flash the t-kernel and, there's a lot of cpu governor, and etc.

what i wanna ask is, i wanna know, what cpu governor or another setting combination in kernel adiutor that great for battery life but did not decrease it's performance? ( maybe decrease a little performance but still acceptable is ok)

maybe u can told me what combination that u use (to increase performance, for gaming, for super battery saving, etc)

many thanks:good:
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
for battery put smartassv2 with 1.7 ghz and GPU ondemand 200mhz

for performance and battery(the thing i use for my self)

CPU>>lagfree>>1.8ghz

GPU>>ondemand>>200mhz

for gaming just change from the above the GPU to performance and set it to 0mhz(0=480 mhz ) :)
