[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
To the extent that flickering and low charging is related to Sony thermanager, here is the permanent fix for AOSP/CM based roms. While the idea of thermal manager is good and we should credit Sony for doing it, the implementation kind of s*cks. For example, the manager kicks in when CPU/GPU temperature rises to 44 degrees. Also, several triggers are set between 54-56 degrees. This is plain wrong, because 44, 50 and 55-56 are all perfect numbers for an active device and at these temperatures, thermal manager should not be active. I have adjusted trigger numbers so that there will be no mitigation until at least 60 and surprise surprise, all screen flickering is gone away....

Attached is thermanager.xml which should be put in /system/etc/ with 644 permissions. Reboot is required. UNZIP FIRST. Also, backup your current file just in case.

A word of caution on undervolting: keep in mind that when you undervolt on high frequencies, you make your CPU work harder, as it requires more cycles to do the same task. As a result, you have overheating. So, undervolting is counter-intuitive..
[Xperia Z1 General] sgspluss:
Does it also will solve the touch freeze problem on cm12.1?

Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
Any touch issues related to thermanager kicking in early could be resolved. But lollipop has overheating issues related to art, which can't be solved by thermal management. That's why strictly speaking, lollipop has to be recalled. In my view it can't be fixed.
[Xperia Z1 General] kainlondono:
A little question

Hello optimumpro

I only need put the thermanager in the path system/etc to make it work? or need something else?. Sorry by the queastion I noob an recently I repair de display and touchscreen for my xperia z1 C6902 and a have the flickering problem.

Thanks for your help.
[Xperia Z1 General] zhuoyang:
I think you have a misconception about undervolting , undervolting does not make your CPU work harder , instead it makes your CPU unstable .

so no, undervolting does not makes your cpu overheat , only overvolting does.

This works for me!

before flash this file, my Phone only receives 90ma from any changer, and now reciving 1080ma. Thanks a lot!

Hi

My phone in stock rom recieves 800ma

Does it normal??

I think it charges late,from 0 to 100 it takes about 3 hours 45 mins

Do i need flash this file??

Does my charger or battery have any problem?!

Thank you so much

Here is my screen shot

I don't think that app is accurate tbh with the fix it says no higher than 300ma for me and my phone is charging pretty well I'm using 2100ma charger as well
[Xperia Z1 General] ninjasoft:
Sorry bro but i don't have this file in system /etc??? Wtf???
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
You are probably on kitkat. If that's the case, you don't need thermanager. If you are on lollipop, look again, the files are not necessarily in alphabetical order...

And remember, this one is for custom roms: CM and/or AOSP based. I just looked at your signature, you have stock...
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
You are wrong. When cpu is unstable, it can't do the job. When it can't do the job it jumps to higher frequencies and then plugs in additional cores, which causes overheating.
[Xperia Z1 General] zhuoyang:
Explain why that a phone reboots automatically when you underclock too much, if your concept is correct then it should just run at higher frequencies instead of just reboot.

And also what's the purpose of overvolting?

What's the purpose of per frequency voltage table?
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
Easy: when you under volt over a certain level, the cpu just shuts down, because it does not have enough energy to jump to higher frequencies. So, in that case, instead of jumping and overheating, it just dies. However, when you under volt to a lesser degree and cpu has just enough (not to die), then you will have jumping and overheating.

There is no purpose in overvolting, other than returning to your prior levels or correcting wrong default values if you don't want to fix those in kernel source.

What's the purpose of per frequency voltage table? If you adjust, you want to do it on global level, because cpu has different frequencies. There is no other way...

However, if you put your phone on performance governor, you won't need per frequency voltage. By the way, in my experience, performance governor causes less noise and overheating, because it does not spend time and energy on jumping, and it could go to idle immediately.

[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
Maybe or maybe not. Blogs, especially by those who don't know what they are talking about (isn't it the purpose of blogs anyway? :) ) is not proof of anything.

However, you asked me to explain myself and I did. Why don't you put cpu info on the screen and experiment (so you can see live frequencies and temperature). You'll be surprised...

The point stands: when your cpu does not have enough juice, it spends more efforts to accomplish the task. If it manages not to shutdown, then it spends more cycles to do the job, thus causing overheating and excessive battery drain. And it does not matter how you call that state: unstable or whatever...

The reason I said it was counterintuitive is that people think if you provide less energy to cpu, there will be less noise and heat. The most energy is spent when cpu jumps back and force or plugs in/out cores and that's exactly what cpu does when you reduce voltage. If it is locked at the highest frequency, you eliminate jumping and extra plugging. When your phone is active, it accomplishes tasks faster. When it is done, it rushes to idle immediately and in idle state it virtually does not make any difference which frequency you are on, especially it does not matter when your phone is in deep sleep. Also, at higher frequencies cpu is often able to do the task using one core, again resulting in battery savings.
[Xperia Z1 General] zhuoyang:
You're the one who don't know what you yourself is talking about.

Someone need to prove your concept right, I can't find anything about saying under clocking makes your cpu overheat.

Try find someone who agree with your concept or at least prove yourself right.

If you're able to prove yourself right I'll do you a favor and submit it to the news portal.
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
"You're the one who don't know what you yourself is talking about"

No need to get personal. And I certainly don't need any "favors" from you. :)

If you need proof, just do a search anywhere including XDA where it would tell you that there is growing evidence that performance governor where your cpu is set at the highest frequency reduces "race to idle" and therefore causes less noise (jumping) and therefore better on performance and battery.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/development/guide-android-governors-explained-t2017715 That's just one example.

You won't find much more for several reasons: linux does not care about smart phones and only they know enough about kernels, but in the context of PCs they are not concerned about governors. They only have performance and ondemand (for laptops). Google does not deal with kernels (except for nexus) and they have no qualified engineers. Manufacturers do, but they have no incentives to invest more millions in research and development so that you can keep your device longer.

But as I have already said, do it yourself. Set cpu data on screen and experiment with performance vs other governors while watching the temperature. My experience has been that there is obviously no jumping and very little core plugging/unplugging, because 2.2-2.4 core can do a lot alone without extra efforts...

If you can't behave and maintain an intelligent conversation without resorting to personal attacks, then there is no point for me to talk to you. :).
[Xperia Z1 General] zhuoyang:
I am not attacking you tbh.

Governors doesn't do anything besides controlling the frequencies of cpu. CPU uses correct amount of voltage according to the voltage table.

If what you're saying is correct, doesn't overvoltage makes your phone cooler? It has more energy to process things and doesn't need to jump to higher frequency right?

Kernel developers implement features for reasons. If your theory is correct, why does voltage control exist? Does kernel developers write a thousand lines of code just to do nothing?
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
"I am not attacking you" Yes you were, I said that some bloggers don't know what they are talking about and you replied that I didn't know what I was talking about. Anyway, I accept your veiled apology. :)

Neither overvoltage nor undervoltage makes the phone cooler. There is an optimal regime for each cpu and if you go outside of it (in either direction), you are inviting trouble. You are not going to destroy your cpu by either under or over voltage, as there is protection in kernel. The phone runs cooler when cpu works less and the optimal regime causes the cpu work less. If you are reducing juice (voltage), you make cpu work longer, which results in overheating.

I gave you an example of performance governor to make a point that this is counterintuitive: while cpu is set at the higher frequencies, it actually performs the tasks and rushes to idle faster, which results in cooler condition. When the same cpu is set lower (and especially if it is under volted), it works longer, jumps to different frequencies, plugs/unplugs cores, which all contributes to overheating....
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
What is normal values for this phone ? I have diferent chargers, Samnsung - around 600mA, one HTC - around 400mA and another one with 200mA according to that app. Wich one should i use ? So far i used samsung one because it charges fast...2 hours or less, but the battery dies also fast :(....so it may be because of the charger ?

Im trying to port a ROM from the Moto G 2nd Gen 3g to 4g variant, but I guess it is a general question :

I just want to make a patch, not to rebuild the whole ROM.

I really think it isn't device specific... Is it ?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] karlmf:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
If you want to take the OTA, you need to unroot. Easier way is to Odin to the new update. See the restore to stock thread for instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Shawn haz root:
Plug the phone into your computer, run the verizon installation. Open the app and update your device. Download load the ping pong root apk and side load it. Install and root, reboot. Upgrade and root done without losing any data or apps. I did this 2 days ago successfully. Took maybe 20 minutes. Make sure you have a charge much higher than 50%, say 75% as if you get less than 50% during the upgrade, you soft brick your phone. Charging it while the blue logo saying you need to repair is slow, quick charge doesn't seem to work but leave it plugged a for a while. A repair fixes the install. I actually had to go through this not thinking it falling under 50% would make a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] funkybside:
So to make sure my dumb ass is clear, this process can be followed using a currently rooted device, without needing to do any special prep work such as uninstalling supersu or otherwise explicitly unrooting the phone prior to using the verizon update service on a PC to get the new OTA loaded?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
I totally didn't want to thank you. Seriously you don't need to be at 75% or you'll soft brick. WTF are you smoking?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Shawn haz root:
When my battery fell below 50% my upgrade failed. I had a blue screen that told me it failed and I needed to repair the install. Maybe the term "soft brick" was not correct but it was in an unusable state.

I would back up your data just incase but you don't need to do anything prior. I didn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nick281051:
Unless that happened to you more than once you can't really definitively say that that was the reason it didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NumberTwoinQQ:
I did shawn haz root's way to update my device and did so successfully (i was rooted before update), but now when I try to root again with pingpong beta6, it says my device is not supported. Update at your own risk!

EDIT: with the new update my s6 feels a lot quicker and snappier like the other user mentioned. I haven't had the time to test out battery life yet, but the speed increase is significant and noticeable. Opening apps, clicking the home button is all very smooth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Shawn haz root:
Try to reboot your phone. Click on "Download Data" under the "Get Root" button, then try to get root. Did you install the Super SU when it popped up after you installed Ping Pong Root? It worked no problem for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NumberTwoinQQ:
Thank you!!!!

You have to click download data first before you get root. That solved the problem for me. Many thanks :)

Hi guys. Just lost my 2-year old Xperia ZL. I loved that phone even though it gets overshadowed by its twin, the Z. Now I'm looking for a good upgrade, hence the title. I've read comparisons and reviews and both phones seem to be on equal footing, regardless of the size. Would you guys recommend the Z3C or the Z2? And additional question: Are the after-sales products(cases, screen protectors, accesories) accessible? With the ZL, I had to resort to international sites just to get a hold of the cases. No accessories are sold here in the Philippines. Anyway, thank you for your time. I'm hoping to be part of the Z3C/Z2 family :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
They're both great phones, same fast Snapdragon 801 chipset, both will be updated to at least Android 5.1. The Z2 has a larger screen if you would prefer that, but unlike the Z3C, it has no stereo front-facing speakers and the top and bottom bezels on the Z2 are very large.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinySarabia:
Thanks for the input bro. I'm really leaning towards the Z3C now. That white version is a plus. Would you recommend the white color?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodrigoOgasawara:
Other than size,they're pretty much the same,Z2 also have stereo speakers,and a better screen i believe.There is minors improvements on Z3C like Hi-res Audio,or higher ISO for camera and slight faster CPU,but,like i said,really minor,not a deal breaker.In the end,i think you should consider more the size of Z2,its a lot bigger than Z3C,if thats ok for you,go for it
