[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Battery drain has nothing to do with the version of Android you are using. A classic symptom of a dying battery is a sudden drop from let's say 50% to near 0 followed by a shutdown. When I had this symptom, I went back to kitkat and had that too. If your battery is new, the drain is related to the way you use your rom and the apps you have. Number one culprits are rogue apps such as Gapps and social apps (facebook et al). They persist in ram, prevent your phone from sleeping and do their malware/spying activities virtually 24/7. Gapps record everything that is going on with your phone and regularly transmit data to Google. Facebook does the same+ and communicates with facebook servers. Also, any other app that includes Google analytics does the same (communicates with Google and the respective developer).

Lollipop may seem to cause more drain, because these apps are integrated more into Android. It is even worse in Marshmallows. But if you get rid of Gapps/Social Apps and others, your Z1 should last for 2 days with moderate usage: in my case: 2 hours of screen, mail syncing and wifi/data 24/7. If you can't live without facebook and Google, you can still use them the way you do it on your laptop...

Just think about this: do you want this person to have your private life and sell it to everybody? https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.timeinc.net%2Ftime%2F2010%2Fpoy_2010%2Fmark_zuckerberg%2Fmark_zuckerberg_01.jpg&f=1 . In my view, there are similar faces and versions of sociopaths at Google too.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HollyZ1:
So you mean it's ok to stay lollipop ? i'll disable the Gapps and fb
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Lollipop is OK as of September-November 2015. If you are on stock, you need to debloat it. Another problem with Gapps is that they are in System and have root rights. But generally, if you freeze Gapps and FB, your battery life will significantly improve. Every app that has Android native variant is bad (gmail, fb, hangouts and other garbage). You can use K9mail to access gmail or any other e-mail service and you can use web browser to access social sites.. Turn off location services and set them on only when you need them. Turn off system wide syncing: a good app (like K9mail) has its own syncing. Get Afwall and allow internet to apps you use like mail, browser etc. Why do you need Settings or Camera or Gallery or Keyboard or virtually any System app to have access to the internet? You don't and they all waste data and battery communicating with "home" (google)...

Thanks a lot bro
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
I'm facing a weird issue with the Z5P touchscreen (tapping) action on the top left side of the screen panel, the usual location for the (back arrow <-) or the (Menu Icon).

1- after reboot everything works fine

2- after an hour or so, sliding (for example the facebook chat head) is detected over this area, but leaving it then tap to open is not detected, same happens with any application back arrow or menu icon, even the (back) of the settings for example.

3- in landscape mode the same area (the top left side) is not detected when tapping over, although the touchscreen panel location is changed now its at the top right, as i rotated the device clock wise

4- after reboot every thing works fine for an hour or so, then the issue is back.

tried the services test, the sliding touch is detected allover the screen, but at the (tap test) tap is not detected at box no# 1. this is weird for me as if there was a problem in the touch sensor, the problem should exist at the same location, even if i rotate the device, but it stays at the (back) arrow when the device rotates.

tried PCC software repair with no luck so far.

The Fix:

Facebook Messenger was the cause for this issue, by removing it the issue is gone immediately without even a reboot
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fancymans:
Did you try disabling chat heads to see if it was only a chat heads problem? Because I have messenger installed and I don't have this problem.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
unfortunately, the issue occurred again even the chat heads was disabled :(
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TamSE3P:
Just delete the facebook messenger app. Must be a bug. That's the only way I got my problem to go away.
[LG G Flex 2] crystybz2010:
Hi. I got this 'super-smartphone' last week.. I was so excited about the curved O-LED, the beast hardware and I never had an LG before. I used iPhone 6, 5s, and Note Edge.

I was curious about the result ofAnTutu 6.0 benchmark. The result was 68.000!! But it was overheated and I decided to make it again, but the result was 52.000. Battery is

not so good for those 3000mAh

. I expected more from this phone. I installed my favourite games, CarX Drift Racing and MMX Racing, both were

lagging

. It has Adreno 430, right? Where is it? Thermal throttling, sorry? I paid a lot for this! Even the Galaxy S4 is better...

I think that it wasn't thoroughly tested prior to release. I am so dissapointed. Hope that it will get 6.0 faster and solve those major problems. If not, I'm going back to iPhone.

How are yours? :confused:

[LG G Flex 2] crystybz2010:
I got the 15D .kdz for Switzerland. It was for H955 but also works on H955A. I flashed it with LG Flash Tool. I don't notice any difference. Maybe the battery lasts more than before. I think it doesn't overheat so much like before, but it is still warm. I heard that all Snapdragon 810 have this problem. For me it's not a problem, but I am worried about my phone, I don't want to damage it's hardware..
[LG G Flex 2] Isolameteo_Sardegna:
Ok, my device not overheat, since the first update to 5.1.1, maybe is a problem related to service in background... Make root and Uninstall bloatware....

It seems that 15D solved the overheating. Now it's just a bit warm.. Thank you for helping.
[LG G Flex 2] pejko79:
Is safe to flash kdz from Swicerland to Taiwan model,because H955a is from Taiwan, not europe model.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
if you want higher performance you need at first to root and debloat it. regardless of firmware release.

try custom thermal also. At first give your phone some time to settle if it is brand new. Run some benchmarks ,make a couple of reboots etc..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art_tech:
Message "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device."

I have got a Samsung S6 SM-G920P Sprint with FRP Lock.

I thought that I smart enough to unlock it using few very simple guides online.

The method is very simple - using OTG connecting a flash drive with downloaded app to a phone and then file manager will pop up, then just run app. The app basically just letting you get to phone settings where it will let to reset the phone and remove FRP Lock

Problem is that file manager wont automatically launch when i plug it in and so as far I understand the method doesn't work for most or all owners of Galaxy S6 and Note 5. I wonder if the file manager wont pop up after latest update or it was that way originaly? If it happened after update is there any way to flash earlier version? I tried ODIN to flash stock ROM but it fails and I am getting message SW REW. CHECK FAIL DEVICE: 3 BINARY: 2

I did restore to factory few times, last time - using Smart Switch. The phone has official Rom, not rooted

Am I screwed? Or is there any other way to bypass activation to get to settings, other way remove FRP Lock?

Thank you!

[HTC One SV] Totonka:
Hi everybody,

It's soft-bricked. After a very long boot-time, I always end up in FASTBOOT.

Now, here is the challenge:

The bootloader is locked, and I cannot unlock it! (after flashing with "Unlock_code.bin", it simply stays locked)

I also cannot root it!

Everytime I try to flash rom or recovery or RUU I get a signature verify fail

Trying to flash superCID (11111111) causes severals errors, probably because it's still locked and unrooted. The phone then freezes and I have to remove battery.

If curious: It probably was caused by a damaged mini-usb plug. The plug was a little bit to loosely, which caused it to connect-disconnect at the slightest moving/touching of cable. I didn't care much, I just had to fumble every time until it kept charging. But one day it suddenly started like above. I didn't do anything android- or rom-related to the phone. It just happend out of the blue.

Good luck and may the force be with you :cyclops:

Upgraded to Marshmallow. Anyway to get permanent root and/or to get TWRP?

I got temporary root using Kingroot APK and I changed DPI when I restart I have no root.

Can I install TWRP using the TWRP manager then install super su to give me permenant root?

The only way I can think of is using lg flash and flashing the KitKat TOT then upgrade back to marshmallow using TWRP as posted a couple of days ago.

My friend has done this however he is having modem issues (he is using D855 as well, upgraded from Lollipop ) even when flashing 21c Lollipop modem. I didn't want to risk it so I flashed the KDZ file.

Does anyone have any other way as to getting permanent root and TWRP on Marshmallow other than the risky way i thought of?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsabatino:
Hi tallman43. I agree. And believe me when I say I have been reading the forums trying to search for the answer.

My predicament, as maybe with others, is that I seem to be in a catch 22. If I don't have root, I can't install TWRP, and to install TWRP, I seem to need root.

I will admit that I am against Kingroot. What I was hoping for was to maybe push TWRP via download mode. I don't know or have found if this is even possible.

Either way I will continue reading, searching and learning. Any help if it is not too imposing would be great.

As with original poster, I have wiped and freshly installed MM, so I don't have root, or recovery. If I could only get this started I'll self help and contribute to the community from there.
