First of all, i have lurked in several threads but am still a novice in the xda community - so allow me to apologize in advance for posting a question that may very well be asked in the wrong thread. I know this community has an abundance of knowledgeble members, so this was my first destination to find the answer I was looking for.

Q:

Is there a way (without root preferably?) anyone is aware of to create a user defined system for placing newly downloaded app icons on my desktop?

I am very anal about aesthetics when it comes to my phone, and i absolutely hate icons being placed in what seens to be an almost random pattern.

I want to be able to choose a user defined placement system that chooses the page, column, and row in which the next icon will be automatically placed after it is downloaded. Ideally there would be an order of importance that i could set so my device knows that if x spot is taken then the icon instead goes y.

I hope this made sense.

I generally use Nova Prime, and my device is running 4.4.2 and is not currently rooted (rooting is an option if thats the only way to make it happen).

Thanks in advance for any help i may receive.

I have just got the Note 4 n910g Australian version and i am on stock rom lollipop 5.0.1 LRX22C N910GDTU1BOC5

I have rooted it and and removed a lot of bloatware and froze a lot of app to help increase battery life and speed it up,

but I am having major battery drain issues from Android System and Kernel (Android OS)

I have installed GSAM Battery monitor root and it is giving me the following info

Screen 13% (to be expected)

Android System 25% !!!

Kernel (Android OS) 20% !!

Android System is showing 2635 wake locks which seems excessive

of those wake locks the highest ones are as follows:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsworkshop:
Hi guys,

I got my XSP 17 days ago and it's already giving me this weird problem. I bought it brand new (well, I got it from a possibly shady reseller in Russia, but it looked new and un-tampered, I checked it carefully :p).

It worked perfectly as my main phone for about two weeks (with the official stable CM 11) when suddenly, it started switching off by itself. When it first started doing this a couple of days ago, it would shut off randomly twice or thrice a day, but today it switches off about every 5 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't even complete the boot sequence before it turns off.

The effect is just about the same as pulling the battery out. One moment you're using the phone, the next moment the screen is blank. No vibrations, no errors, no lights, nothing. It can be turned on normally and works for a short while before turning off again.

I haven't been able to isolate the problem to any single use case - it turns off with and without the SIM, with/without the SD card, on airplane mode and off, with the screen on or off.

It turns off with every combination of CM11, CM12 and stock that I tried, with stock kernel, default CM kernel, William's kernel and Tangerine kernel.

Although I don't want to admit it, it looks like it's a battery problem. Perhaps the battery lost capacity sitting around in a warehouse for two years? Either that or I was duped by the place I got it from, which seems unlikely as it was spotless in its original packing with all the plastic bits covering the screen, camera and microphone, and a warranty sticker over a screw on the back. Besides, they've given me a one-year service guarantee (it's not the official Sony warranty, though).

Mine is the C5303 model.

Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone suggest what I could do about it? It's a great phone except for this problem :(

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention that this does not happen when connected to a charger or a computer. Only when running on battery.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
you should try to flash a stock ftf ROM with flash-tool :) ....if the problem still happen with you then i'm afraid it's a hardware problem :rolleyes:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsworkshop:
Thank you for your response, but I've already tried that, to no avail. This makes me think it's definitely a hardware problem that's related to either the battery or the charging circuit.

However, a recent experiment I tried seems to contradict this. I left the phone on CWM recovery for about 40 minutes and it didn't switch off! I even ran a backup to add strain to the battery, but no, it stayed on. :eek:

This indicates that it might not be a battery problem - a battery problem should affect the phone in recovery as well as inside the Android OS.

One major difference between CWM and Android is that Android runs the radios, while a recovery has no need to. Could it be a chance bug in the radio firmware? Is there any way to reflash the radio firmware? :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash-:
actually i never saw a radio firmware to flash :( ......but it's not a battery problem for sure ....maybe cpu can't handle the ROM running or like you said radio don't run in cmw then it mite be the cause of the problem

but anyway it's a hardware ...since you are flashing a stock ftf via flashtool then the radio shouldn't have any problems at all !

so you need to go to service center i think to repair it ...sorry for not finding an answer or a direct solution for your problem :)

good luck man :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsworkshop:
Thanks for your help. I think I was cheated and they deliberately sold me a faulty phone. I'm thinking of having my phone checked by an independent service center (for a price :()

I have another question, if anybody can answer: what does the original guarantee sticker look like? Mine is the one in the attachment, stuck over the central screw.

I'm beginning to think that it's a fake sticker stuck by the shop that sold it to me :(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
I don"t have this Sticker. The Sony Ericson Joint-Venture was ended Yeats before the SP came out... Looks like it is from another phone...

Anyway:

Cwm doesn't use a high current.

Because of stuff I can't explain in English, it could be possible the battery delivers enough Voltage but not enough current for booting up.

Although, it seems more likely to be a RAM error. Yeah, that can happen on phones too.

That would explain the very random behavior.

Cwm doesn't change anything in the RAM when it does nothing. That's why the error doesn't occur then.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsworkshop:
You have a point. Looks like it's definitely a refurbished phone, then :mad:

AHA! Now this got me thinking. I flashed a fresh ROM without gapps, set the maximum processor clock to 384 MHz, turned down the brightness, switched off WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, etc., and now it works perfectly fine without switching off! Looks like you're right, the battery can't produce enough current.

I can now reproduce the problem reliably by setting governor to performance @1.7GHz, turning up the brightness, switching on all the devices mentioned above and recording video. The moment I touch the button to stop recording, the extra strain caused by flushing the buffer to the memory causes the phone to switch off. Bingo! :good:

What does this mean? That the battery is weak? Or the charging circuit is wrongly cutting off the battery?

Thanks a lot for the info! Finally this thing is beginning to make sense. :highfive:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
It means the battery is weak. I guess the phone itself should be fine.

When a bettery gets old, it can get a higher resistance. Yeah, batteries have a resistance too. In German it's called Innenwiderstand. Literally translated "inner resistance". It's the same effect like when your car's battery is old. Your stereo still gets its 12V, but trying to start the car will let the curcuit "die" for a few seconds.

The battery in the SP can be replaced, it's not that hard. There are some great videos on YouTube. Please don't buy a battery that is sold as original! Sony doesn't sell spare batteries for the SP. If it says original, it's used or fake.

Buy a battery from a seller who admits it is not from Sony. He is honest to you. Make sure it's a spare battery with good cells in it. Like Varta etc.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsworkshop:
Thanks for the heads-up! I've called multiple repair centers and they've all told me they can give me original batteries. I'd better be careful, then!

Do you have any idea where I can order a good battery, or how I can identify which ones are good?

I will be in Eastern Europe next week, where it's easier to get deliveries from eBay, etc. I might even visit Germany! Any suggestions on how to find a battery are welcome. :)

www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00VWDWINQ/re...ia+SP+Akku&dpPl=1&dpID=41vGGV60ByL&ref=plSrch

That's the one I would buy. You see that this not-original battery is more expensive than the "fauxriginals"? There's a reason :D

You can buy elsewhere too. Make sure the seller has got many good ratings over a long period of time.

A few terrible ratings aren't a problem. There are always some noobs who break their spare parts and blame the seller.

E.g. on Amazon, look for many 4-star and 3 star ratings. They are real. Bought ratings are almost always 5 star ratings.

Don't buy where all ratings are 1 or 5 stars.

The capacity may differ from the original 2300mAh. 2100mAh to 2500mAh is fine. More than 2500mAh should be fake.

You can also buy on eBay where the seller admits it's a used battery in good condition.

I don't think you can buy this battery "" offline". If you do, make absolutely sure the connectors look like in the pictures in Amazon!

In Germany, there are lot Mobile Phone Shops with an Internet Café. Mostly, they are owned by Turks.

Usually, they have a good service. They can replace the battery for you for a few bucks. If you can't be served in one shop, they'll sometimes tell you where a shop is where they can help you.

Hope these information are useful :)

Do you think there's a chance that my problem might be due to some other component other than the battery? :confused:

It's possible that it is caused by another component. We can't know. Buying a New battery is the cheapest option. I don't see another way to find out.

There are bad third party batteries too. But I trust someone who admits it's third party more. Just rely on the ratings...

Hi guys, I'm back from Europe.

I know it's been a really long time, but I just wanted to update the thread in case anyone else has the same problem and finds this thread.

Before leaving, I purchased a new "original" battery at a local shop (a pretty large scale distributor).

It looks identical to the battery that was already in the phone, and also identical to the batteries in all the videos I've seen on youtube. The SONY branding is covered by a thin plate of copper, but it's there, so I assume it's not fake.

It cost me 1300 RUB (~20 USD). There was a "Craftmann" branded battery also available, but it was 3x more expensive, so I didn't buy it.

Well, the phone works fine. In the past ~2 months, it hasn't turned off even once, and the battery lasts a day with decent use (~3h GPS guidance, ~1h FM transmitter, always connected to LTE, messaging and email, occasional calls), so I consider the issue solved.

Thanks to all who helped me!

Nice. One question xposed is working with this rom?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] denishome:
At first I was satisfied with this rom, but after few hours I've come across few problems with it.

1. TOO many unnecessary apps mostly due to t-mobile origin

2. NDR Utils did not work for me

3. Recovery option does not work any more - had to flash it again

4. SU did not work since the beginning.

I start to think that KitKat is the best choice for me right now.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bodrovics:
As it was already rooted, I removed the unnecessary apps.

NDR Utils, Recovery, SU all worked for me.

I had problems with the wifi connection: it always dropped the connection even with good reception.

I couldn't charge the phone with a USB2.0 port, only with a USB3.0 port.

Now back to KitKat and no problem at all.....waiting for 5.1 ...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] szturchen_pl:
[MENTION=5313362]denishome[/MENTION] Additional apps are there, but can be disabled, I wrote about it in the first post. NDR Utils, Recovery, SU all should be working. Looks like something went wrong while you were flashing this ROM. Re-flashing should help.

[MENTION=2246903]bodrovics[/MENTION] I didn't notice any problems with WiFi, as for charging issue - I've had some problems while charging via docking station, but that's not specific to this ROM, also earlier when using .270 it was the same. It charges but slower than straight via USB and not always to full 100%. Have to look a bit more into it, possible that it's a fault of my docking station.

The only real problem for me is battery drain in Lollipop 5.0 in general. After I updated to this ROM battery life improved over .270, possible that it was due to the fact that I have made full wipe. I didn't do full wipe while upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0 for the first time, firmware .270 and battery life was tragic. Now I can reach 24 hours, but it's more or less 60%-70% of what I was getting with 4.4.4 (I do use Stamina Mode).

[MENTION=2382929]oiseau[/MENTION] Xposed works, I'm using it. Seems Amplify helps with battery life while we're at Xposed modules ;)
