[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Stefan thanks for new nersion. Can you do something with the rapid discharge of the battery to 10% capacity? I know it's a difficult problem, This would help us a lot.
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
I realized when the battery drains down from 15 to 0%, and i charge it back to 14, then i last much longer and discharges normally. so i think it really should some voltage miscalculation bug...

edit: or maybe not... because when it drains down, it's really on zero, it only runs for a few more minutes in preloader. ...or maybe that's why it is still a miscalculation... or not...

sorry i don't know what i'm saying but i hope you understand it :D
[Elephone P8000] walter79:
The battery meter table file could be the problem because voltage/percent and resistent/voltage not matching well.

Lol maybe you are right. Wtf file Haha!

[Elephone P8000] walter79:
we can make our own file. Use battery monitor widget for voltage and percent log
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
True, we could try that - [MENTION=5895603]dr_root[/MENTION] suggested something similar some pages back

I haven't tried yet though
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Should be totally possible since we have other voltage tables from ZOPO. Once my CM camera works, I'll pick the battery correction up.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Looks like the ZOPO guys invest more time in bug-fixing than the Elephone guys:

http://www.zopomobile.com/forum/for...&tid=232&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=77 (it's from speed 7, not 7 plus, but you get the idea)

Similar problems still exist in our Elephone ROMs, while the guys over at ZOPO fixed them months ago.

Also, they seem to have used the same software / drivers foundation (P8000 - Z7Plus). Maybe we should try installing a ZOPO stock ROM :laugh: Kidding :silly: But there really isn't that much difference (in hardware), maybe one could build a hybrid ROM, with ZOPO base and Elephone Kernel and some replaced ROM parts. Would be a funny experiment.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
I will . :D hahahahah

[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
You mean more time than zero? Well, that's quite easy :D Kidding, you're right! I also thought about flashing the self-compiled ZOPO ROM to my P8000 but that would be useless since CM is nearly fully working now ;)

Cheers!
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Oh, those are good news (about CM)! As soon as it is completely working, I will give it a try as well! I've always liked CM.

New kernel v2.1.0 is out

v2.1.0

upgraded linux base from 3.10.98 to 3.10.99 - Changelog

upgraded linux base from 3.10.97 to 3.10.98 - Changelog

switched to a different toolchain (latest sabermod gcc 5.3)

You can find the download where you would expect it: attached to the first posting of this thread. Enjoy!

Please remember: After you flashed the kernel in Recovery, perform the following steps:

go to menu "Wipe and Format Options"

perform "Wipe Dalvik/ART Cache"

perform "Wipe Cache"

Please do not report any problems or bugs, if you did not perform these steps along with the installation of the new kernel.
[Elephone P8000] valascus:
Good to know ur still alive Stefan! :D

Btw, something new about the battery fix?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
I'm always watching :D not from the high castle, but from the interwebz :victory:

not yet, unfortunately (well, due to lack of time I didn't spend any time on further investigation either)

though I have to say the bug doesn't really bother me (personally) that much - it's nasty, but I'm just charging my phone when it reaches 20 % (sometimes earlier), so I never run into the problem
[Elephone P8000] valascus:
I see. It's ok then xD

Just asking kkk

Firmware Stock ROM Elephone P8000_20151105, guestekrnl 2.1.0 (Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache and Wipe Cache done, Double-tap 2 wake works), viber and whatsapp messages do not arrive in the sleep mode, the router shows that the phone is working wifi. If the phone is to wake, all messages are coming.

I revert to stock kernel all ok! All messages come in sleep mode.

Fix please work wi-fi in the sleep mode.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
That's odd - are you sure, that WIFI was active on your phone during sleep? Because, sometimes, if connection is lost (or wasn't established when turning off the screen), the pone won't re-connect or establish a new WIFI connection during sleep (which then causes your messages to arrive as soon as you turn on your screen the next time). This should be the usual behavior, so far I can't reproduce "no messages at all while screen is off".
[Elephone P8000] Snul9:
Telegram work perfect for my with guestekrnl 2.1.0.

Testing 2.2 kernel in my P8000 with Eragon v9.5

So far running really good!

Charged overnight to 100% full, now running normal.

Will get to 15%, but probably have to wait till this evening to test the battery-drop-fix.

Question: can I use the blackscreenfixer apk with this kernel too?

Anyway, many thanks for all your work!

Un saludo,

Satbeginner
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
You are right, my good sir! :highfive:

I hereby confirm, that the latest guestekrnl zip (v2.2.0) can be used for the latest Cyanogenmod ROM as well - I don't need to change a line :)

You can just flash the kernel as usual.

I planned on disabling dt2wake per default for CM, but I'll just leave it enabled for now.

I will update the descriptions and release notes of the latest kernel, so people know that they can use it for CM as well.

The blackscreenfixer apk compatible with this kernel is attached to the second posting of this thread, in case you need it ;)
[Elephone P8000] Trashware:
Okay, here are the results of my first discharge history after having flashed 2.2.0. My system: Eragon 9.5 w/o the Skeleton1911 framework.

A little bit weird looks the development between 35% and 20%. The only thing I did during this time was to configure my new W2.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Seems to work! Great.

In a few days my new.v9.8 is available.

Then this fix will be included.

Thank you Stefan and blueflame and all involved in this!

[Elephone P8000] Trashware:
Yes, I think you guys are on the right track. But have look at the statistics. The drop was lifted up to 35%. From there it went down out of a sudden to 20%
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Thank you, this is quite interesting!

Look at the battery fix: https://github.com/gueste/android_k...mmit/5d921a054b564f6a66b95f7140f8ce1968d32e0b

Without the fix, the battery went from 15 to 0. Now it seems to drop from 35 to 20 - exactly the "20" set in the patch (and exactly a drop of 15% again).

I wonder, what will happen, if we set the CUST_TRACKING_POINT to 100 ??? Will we "lift" the battery drop above the 100%? I'm so curious, I have to try right now :laugh:

Will make a new test build and share with you guys.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
I've made a new test release, with the tracking point set to 100: <removed>

Can you please try it and report again, if you can spot a drop at any percentage?

If it is still there, I would expect it to happen shortly after the full charge, which should be much more comfortable than it happening later.

Attention: this is only a Snapshot release and might not be identical to the final kernel release of v2.2.1.
[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
Downloading now, will charge overnight and report back tomorrow.

Same idea here. ☺☺☺
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
maybe now a fullcharge is only 85%

or it drops from 100% to 85% right after you plug off the charger :D:D
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
well, better an early drop than a late drop :silly:

here in Austria we have a saying: "The early drop catches the battery!"

but, if it drops to 20 with the tracking point set to 20, I should hope that it "drops" to 100 (= never drops) with the tracking point set to 100 :laugh:

this whole matter is so silly :silly:
[Elephone P8000] Trashware:
Maybe silly, but what about a drop at zero?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
the tracking point of the original stock kernel was already at zero (-> it was dropping from 15 to zero), I don't think we can set a negative value. To be honest, I don't even really know what this value is supposed to do under normal circumstances anyway.
[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
Installed the new 2.2.1 snapshot kernel.

After 'optimizing the apps' my 2 sim's were not seen.

A reboot fixed this.

Now charging, will report about battery behaviour tomorrow.

Thanks for all your efforts,

Un saludo,

Satbeginner
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
thats true its so silly.

i flashed the 2.2.1 snapshot kernel too .

lets see if this one will have a drop too.

in your 2.2.1 tracking code is set to 100 . so it should drops from 115%to 100%

so i think this should do the trick . because we cant reach 115% .

Tracking point at 120?? Silly suggestion. ......

Begin of discharge looking good. :)
[Elephone P8000] wit.cz:
among 99 - 91 almost the same voltage... that does't correspond to percentages, does it?
[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
No, it doesn't. But that behaviour is causing the 'drop' problem.

Somewhere must this 'translation' take place between voltage <> percentage.

It seems there is a big step somewhere, and this step is also influenced by this 'tracking variable'.

A real, nice correlation between voltage and percentage would be nice, but anyway, if a full charge ends in 100% and 4,2xVolt, with step-up like we have now, and a discharge goes to 1-2% with the normal warnings at 15% and the exclamation mark at 5%, I am happy.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Looks like we managed to shift from a drop during discharging to a jump during charging - if this is true, I like this much more than the drop.
[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
Agree, 'weird' behaviour during charge (in my case almost always overnight) does not bother me at all.

Having a full 100% charge available during use makes me really happy. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukyew:
Hello,

I am not sure what is causing my issues. Once in a while, the top left screen corner (about 0.5" x 0.5") is not registering my touch and there's no sound from the device. The phone is a N920I rooted with arter97 11.0 kernel. My temporary solution is to clear all background apps. Try googling the issues but to no avail. I also tried opening all apps and I could not replicate the issues. The phone has to sit idle for a little bit before it happens.

Anyone with similar problem?

Whilst replacing the screen on my m700 i managed to utterly nadge the main board by breaking off the clip that holds the screen ribbon in place. To make matters worse I completely fubarred the socket by pushing the ribbon in and bending all the pins over. Not only that I then managed to get the battery in backwards and fried a power component. So in short totally assed the main board up. Does anyone knoe how I can get hold of a replacement main board or the longest shot on the planet a place that could repair the stupid damage I have done?

Try to find ot from HTC's European web site....they must have a number or a telephone somwhere....now If you have messed around with the mainboard, to replace it, outside the guarantee it might be a costly process...maybe you will be better off with buying a second hand one and use yours for spare parts, when and if needed....better ask them for the cost before you send it

You can use standard (non quick charge enabled) phones on a quick charge adapter, there should be no issue. Quick chargers will lower the voltage down to what the phone can handle so presumable it should charge at the same rate as the stock charger.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendywen0322:
Very much like any other Android device, the Xperia phones also have a few common problems to be aware of. We will list common problems and show you how to fix them.

Problem: Wi-Fi dropping

A lot of Xperia Z owners have been complaining about a weak Wi-Fi signal. Some people have had trouble connecting to specific routers, but most people are finding that the signal drops frequently.

As for it, you need to go into Settings and turn off Stamina mode: that’s been known to mess with Wi-Fi on occasion. Then restart the router and the phone.

Problem: Poor battery life

This is the most common complaint with everyone. That’s particularly likely if your phone is draining dramatically overnight when you aren’t using it.

You should start by going to Setting > Battery and reviewing what is eating your power, if there is an obvious app, then you can tackle it.

Problem: Sudden death

A sudden death bug is reported with Xperia Z. The problem is that the handset goes to sleep and will not wake up no matter how hard you shake it, even with a power button and volume up hard reset.

Sony released a software update with a fix in it which you should get OTA automatically.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VJCR:
I am considering this device for my next phone but had a couple of questions about the camera. It is important to me to be able to take pictures in quick succession (like taking multiple photographs of moving objects etc.).

1. On some of the other competing phones, I've noticed the ability to take a bunch of photos in quick succession, with no lag (the phone is ready to take the next picture immediately after taking a picture). I have read on a couple of sites that after a picture is taken, the Z5/Z5C takes a second or two to save it, so that the camera is not immediately available for the next photo. For those who have experience with this phone, what has been your experience?

2. Is the camera experience on the Compact similar to that on the Z5 or are there any differences?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
You can't take pictures in quick succession like that sadly. It takes a while :/
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VJCR:
Thanks. Is the lag true of all modes (superior auto and manual) and all resolutions (8 my and 23 mp)?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VJCR:
Also, I read in a different post that by turning something called the 'Photo Analyzer' off, the lag between photos can be eliminated. Has any Z5C owner tried this out, and does this do as described in that post?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langeveld024:
You can use timeshift burst for Sony. It's an app in playstore.

It shoots 60 pics in 2 seconds, a bit lower quality but still good enough.

Edit: I made a quick video, so u can check it out while not having this device (yet?)

https://youtu.be/aP8dBfkU6QA
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
I think Photo Analyzer created lagging in older and slower xperia but I don't found any different yet on Z5c before or after disabled it. I never use stock album(even disabled it...lol) probably Photo Analyzer won't mess me.

23MP is slower than expected but 8MP is fast(still slightly slower than my S6 but close to it). You'll need to switch to Sport Mode to shoot moving objects, so only 8MP available to you because scene mode limited to 8MP.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VJCR:
Thanks for the reply! Two questions:

1. When you talk about 8MP being slightly slower than the S6 - in practice, let's say to photograph my dog, is this sufficiently fast enough? Is there a clear wait time after a photo is taken before I take the next one?

2. In Sport mode, is the lag negligible enough that I can shoot multiple back-to-back photos?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
1. 8MP enough no clear wait time, 23MP a bit harder

2. sport mode only 8MP
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VJCR:
Thank you!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng3:
In SuperAuto or Manual, you can take fast photos. sort of. If it has to do an autofocus, you have to wait. However if you take successive photos without the focus needing to change much, it is fairly fast. Like less half a second. However, if I tap as fast as I can, it can't keep up. Maybe 1 photo for every three taps.

Timeshift burst cant take photos very fast (8MP). However its a little annoying. You have to switch to that "mode" (basically start that app) if you want to do a timeshift photo. When you are in that mode, I think you are constantly taking photos. Once you hit the "shutter" it gives you -15 +15 photos or so. You can select which one you want, but when I goto the gallery, they're all still in there. It's not as convenient as on the iphone for example. On there, you just hold down the shutter and it takes photos for however long you hold it down. Then you choose what you want and the rest are deleted.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
In older xperia like Z1/Z2, Timeshift burst only takes 1920x1080 photo resolution(2MP). Is that increase to 8MP now on Z5c?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HypeZ85:
coming from a Lumia 930.. this z5c camera is.. terrible.

- Really slow shot burst (1 photo takes more than 1 second to save)

- When shooting at 23 mpx do yourself a favor and never, NEVER zoom it to 100%. Its only TERRIBLE.

- Low light and you can't use any flash? Don't try to take any photo at all. its just crap.

- Camera app "manual mode" is not manual at all. Changing the SCN (scene mode, night, portrait, food) is NOT manual by any mean

- Apps like Manual Camera (with all the real manual controls) just crash when you try to set iso, shutter time or manual focus (i read somewhere its caused by sony camera firmware, i don't know if its the real reason)

- When Camera is on the phone gets hot REALLY quickly, otherwise is always cold as ice.

- Timeshift video app is awesome :D

so.. yeah, decent camera, but i still cry when i see my old Lumia930's photos :(
