[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCopyright:
Hi there, I have some questions for you all... I hope that you can help me in a way or another because I don't really know what to do else.

I was looking for a way to maximise the battery life of my Note 3 LTE, so I found a good ROM and I thought it would get better at least a bit, but it didn't. It has only worsened. So I reinstalled the original firmware (Lollipop 5.0) and I rooted it, installing some apps like Greenify, Wakelock Director, Titanium Backup, Kernel Auditor, trying to configure them all in a good way, but the battery didn't get better, but it's like it was before (or maybe a bit worse).

So I found a tutorial here, on XDA (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579075) but it is for Note 3 N9000 and it doesn't advise me a good kernel to use. I used the arter97 kernel using the original firmare with Nova Launcher but I got some issues (since the first time I turn on the phone, an error message appears saying "Phone is not working") so I wasn't able to use the phone with it and I didn't know how to solve that problem so I put back the stock kernel and now here we are.

Now:

-I can change the kernel, using another one, but I don't know which one. Can you advise me a good kernel for Lollipop 5.0 which improves battery and performance?

-Does anyone know how to solve that problem with the arter97 kernel?

-I saw a lot of tests with CAF Kernel and CM12.1 with other phones and the battery life is really amazing. Is it possible to install CAF Kernel with CM12.1 on my Note 3? It would solve all my problems, I guess...

I'll wait for your answers, thank you in advance... and sorry for my English, I'm italian, after all... >.<
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
try Lean Kernel 6.3

Try Lean Kernel 6.3.

But before flashing it, make sure you flash Kernel cleaner via Recovery (you can find Kernel cleaner zip file in Kernel threads)

Also make sure to Wipe (cache and dalvik) after installing Kernel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCopyright:
Ok I got the second and the third steps, but not the first one. Where do I find Kernel Cleaner? I got multiple results so I don't know which one is good/better :/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
you can use the one here.

Use the Kernel Cleaning script from the below thread.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCopyright:
Ok I installed it and it's working fine. I'll try the phone now, thank you so much. Can you advise me a good app for reviewing the kernel's settings? :p :p

EDIT: Oh and another question: do you think I'd save more energy with the CM12.1 and this kernel (if you ever tried it) or with the stock operative system?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
Based on my usage, I prefer Stock ROM when it comes to Battery Life. Its always better than CM. (but I haven't tried different Kernels in CM).

And I am not using any Kernel tweaking apps. Stock setting in Lean Kernel is the best.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCopyright:
Perfect thanks! Umh... even the GPU clock speed? 200MHz looks so lower than the 450MHz (hope I'm not getting wrong) of the stock kernel :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
yeah I left it unchanged and I get 6 to 7 hours SOT
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCopyright:
I apparently solved my problem by half, the battery life is okay when I'm on Wi-Fi and it lasts even 2 days (4h SOT), not that good when I use 3G/4G though. Do you have any advice for improve even more battery life? I still use Greenify and I unistalled some applications that I don't use (ChatOn, S Voice, S Note etc.).

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredwck:
Hi, I want to find out whether D6683 have a hardware radio for the LTE 800Mhz band. I think other models (e.g. D6633) have it. I read that flashing D6633 firmware onto D6683 were buggy but can't tell if this is because of the differences in firmware or hardware.

If the D6683 have the radio hardware then it should just be a matter of software tweaking within the D6683 firmware, what procedures can I refer to for activating this LTE frequency? Thanks.

I just got my Z5 a few days ago, and the battery life is downright AWFUL. With stamina mode on, my phone drains about 1% every minute or two, just while browsing the web. What is going on here?

Me too, it's a total letdown. Had 3 hours SOC and around 9-10 hours overall before it conked out on me yesterday
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Looks like your device is spending a lot of time switching networks which is battery intensive. Are you in a poor signal area?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Occasionally, but not all the time. The battery drain was still this bad even when I was connected to my WiFi signal at home
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Try airplane mode and see if it improves. This will allow you to use WIFI but halt network search and switching. Check battery stats after a while to see if that helps. Of course, you will get no network dependent communications while in airplane mode so take that into consideration prior to testing. Battery performance will settle down after a few weeks as well but you certainly seem to have a major drain problem and testing will help you locate the cause.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
All right, thanks. I'm gonna try that and report back here later today.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Okay, airplane mode hasn't helped much at all. I'm still draining 1% every minute or two.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
That is truly strange. Any running apps killing it? I just streamed a two hour movie and lost 22%. I read somewhere that the pre-installed AVG was a battery hog. I couldn't tell you because I uninstalled it as soon as I booted for the first time. Are you still running it? That may be the next test.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Nope, I uninstalled it immediately too.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Only other suggestion is factory reset or repair firmware both if which are a PIA.

Have you looked at your Google account settings to see if everything is syncing properly? I have seen this before when someone had an error while trying to sync photos to their Google account, demolished their battery until they went into account settings and unchecked whatever it was that was syncing constantly.

Also make sure you have opted out of Google's location history thing in Google maps where it tells you everywhere you've been on any given day, that can wipe your battery as well. Lastly try turning off the xperia protection that allows you to remotely deactivate the phone, just make sure you don't lose it in the meantime !
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghfatw:
I got a Z5 the day it came out and it has done pretty well on battery life, at least until I installed Facebook and Messenger. When I uninstalled the two of them, the battery life returned to pretty good. With Facebook and Messenger the battery was draining extremely quickly. I unlocked the bootloader the day I got the phone and am waiting for TWRP as root will sort a lot of this out.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freestaler:
After 3 Days, i looks like a normale Day use by me around 50% battery. I have allthetime Bluetooth and Wlan on. Whatsapp and Gmail sync. I use my Phone usually for streamming musik over bluetooth around 2h hours, read news and message (Whatsapp) around 2h hours, play some games around 30minutes and some Calls around the same time. My "old" Z1 i had usually to charge ones during the day and of course during the night. So im happy with the battery time @ z5.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Okay, I just turned off automatic Google photos backup, and Google's location history setting was already off. I also turned off my Xperia (the thing that lets me remotely deactivate the phone). Let's see if it works.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Yeah, its still draining fast. In case you're wondering, I keep my screen at half brightness. You can look at the photo I attached.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benblb:
Update?

Did you ever resolve the issue? I'm getting similar battery life and am not happy about it.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizenyasuya:
This may be a noob-ish suggestion and one that the phone industry claims isn't necessary anymore, but have you tried "calibrating" the battery by charging it to 100 and completely draining it to the point where the phone won't turn on 2 times and then fully charging it a 3rd time? It may be an old, unnecessary habit, but I've done this every time I get a new battery (or phone) and I usually have really good battery life for the first year - year and a half. The one device I failed to do this on was my Xperia z2 tablet and it suffered for it (i think) although that could just be my prejudice and confirmation bias speaking.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilifida:
- others suggest NOT to fully drain your phone's battery because you might have troubles turning it on.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3005899:
Did you by any chance have "Glove Mode" enabled in Settings < Display? It seems that your screen is the culprit. Try disabling "Smart backlight" if you have it enabled and "Tap to wake up".

From the screenshot you posted earlier (History details) we can see that even when the screen is off the wifi is on and the phone isn't actually sleeping. So you got a wakelock on your hands that uses WiFi and doesn't let the phone sleep.

In WiFi settings under advanced (Wifi< Three dots, top right< Advanced) do you have wifi as always on? Change it to "Only when plugged in", also disable "Scanning always available" in the same menu.

Any chance we can get a list of apps you have installed yourself on your phone?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Glove Mode isn't on. 'Tap to wake up' is also off. I'll try turning off 'smart backlight'. I just changed 'Keep wifi on during sleep' to 'only when plugged in', and I disabled 'Scanning always available'. I'll report back tomorrow on how my battery is.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Is there an easy way of getting my list of installed apps, rather than typing them all out? If so, I'll do it. Anyway, I went to bed with about 95%, and woke up with 65%. My phone wasn't plugged in, and location was off.

I don't understand why some people have comolains about battery life for the Z5. I bought mine last week and calibrated the battery on day 2. I generally get about 40-45 min of screen on time every 10%. Maybe it's an app in the background that's the culprit?

Срок службы аккумулятора

У меня была такая же проблема что батарея садилась 1% за 1 минуту.

Сделал общий сброс

Отключил уведомления всех программ кроме нужных

Удалил все программы ненужные.

И когда телефон заряжу до 100% я его выключаю и оставляю еще минут 5 на зарядке потом включаю и зарядка держится нормально.

Еще я заметил что когда lte работает батарею быстрее разряжает.

Вот такие вот мои наблюдения.

I had the same problem that the battery is receiving 1% for 1 minute.

He made a full reset.

Disable notifications on all programs except I needed

Remove all unnecessary programs.

And when the phone is charged to 100%, I reboot it and leave for another 5 minutes, azaryad keeps excellent.

I also noticed that when enabled LTE mode the battery is quickly discharged.

Here are my observations.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
[MENTION=7299953]Gusen87[/MENTION]

if your phone is rooted and the bootloader unlocked,

make sure you use kernels with the new DRM fix included (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605)

that way the idle battery drain should be reduced to a minimum.

Hi,

I am trying to connect my LG G4 815 to my notebook. But with every app I tried (f.g. SambaDroid, SambaServer or even the FTP variants) my phone is unreachable from notebooks. The device is rooted.

Furthermore I am not able to ping the device from different notebooks, nonetheless they are all connected to the same wifi and the notebooks are able to ping each other. And the other way round I am not able to ping any notebook from phone with terminal emulator, while ping to router or websites works well.

If anyone has an idea or solution I'd appreciate. :)

Thanks!

Mike
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquavalanche:
this has nothing to do with the phone itself. I'm guessing that the AP isolation on the router is turned on, or your notebooks firewall are blocking local access.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rick09:
I suggest you try WiFi File Transfer from the playstore. I used to use Samba but found this app works much better, for my needs anyway, and never gives me any problems connecting. Pro version that allows unlimited file size up and downloads is like $1.50. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimroder:
Really? I am thankful for every post, but as far as I can guess you did not even read my starting post?

If your guess would be correct, I would not be able to ping *each* device among *each* other (no matter if Windows, Mac OS, Ubuntu or Windows Phone, ok the last is one-way only because of OS-Limitations)...

So there is no local access prohibited. The only device which is not able to be pinged or ping itself is the phone.

Even if I deleted everything from the router/ phone and reconnected afterwards with a new IP it was exactly the same behavior. For me this looks like this is all about the phone.

Thanks.. I am going to give this a try. :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquavalanche:
whoops, I read the "furthermore I am not able to ping..." and misread the next part as "... and the notebooks aren't able to ping each other". sorry about that!

but as far as I know, default android phones do not have firewall that blocks ping. I assumed that you didn't modify the phone, so the problem should be located on the router (or laptop) itself.

I'm going to try some ftp servers on my phone and I'll notify you the result.

I have tried this FTP server and it works

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserver

And I also tried SambaDroid and it works as well.

oh, and have you tried giving the phone static IP?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimroder:
Thanks for your support :)

I am still not able to get any of the apps - even the one you mentioned - to run on my home network.

A static ip doesn't change a thing, but I tried it today on a different network with my notebook and phone and it worked like a charm.

Some kind of funny and unexpected, because every other device works without any problem in my home network. Also tried to reset my router to factory but still the same.

So I guess I have to change the hardware of my network. But you're absolutely right in your first post -

It is NOT about the phone, sorry for that :)

Hello

Can you guys weigh in as to how is the Android on xperia Z5 phones in comparison to stock, is it really close like the Motorola phones, or far apart like Samsung ? I love my stock android experience but am a bit underwhelmed by the specs on the nexus 5x. I'm considering canceling my N5x order in favour of the Z5. Any opinions will be much h appreciated. Both on Android on Z5 as well as the phone it self. Many thanks! neopl666
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
It's a lightly skinned Android experience in my opinion. Sony's UI is a nice touch without being overwhelming. They have been testing a very stock Android build on the Z3 with select users in Sweden but not sure what the next steps are. Plenty of You Tube videos out there if you want to take a look prior to deciding.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwayne01:
I am also in th exact same position. Im slightly leaning towards the Nexus as from initial reviews it seems that the Z5 may not be what it is cracked up to be. It seems the battery life is worse and the camera falls behind its competitors. Plus I fear for XDA support on it, I know it wont be anywhere near as substantial as the amount the 5x will get.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quickfire:
My Nexus 5 is showing some pretty disturbing vertical screen shaking... look at the video below to have an idea.

[YOUTUBE]IiyyA4VEyrk[/YOUTUBE]

Any idea what may be causing it? I did not drop the phone recently. It just started happening out of the blue. I notice it gets worse the more you use it (maybe related to heat? But the phone is no hotter than usual). For example, leave it for a few hours, and the screen works fine... until about 5-10 minutes later when the problem comes back. And if I continue using it, the shaking becomes worse to the point it's impossible to type/see anything anymore.

I did some searching and it looks like it could be the dock flex cable giving the issue. Can someone link me to a reputable seller who sells proper flex cables for the Nexus 5? I saw a few on Amazon but most of them have rather dissuading reviews.
