[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varxx:
My bl is unlocked, but my phone is no longer rooted since I used Flash tool to flash a stock FTF (23.4.A.1.264).

Will my phone accept OTAs when the next release comes along, or is the unlocked bl a deal-breaker for OTAs?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istux:
As long as the bootloader is unlocked, your device can't update via OTA.

For relocking you need to restore the TA-backup you did the first time you rooted, in order to restore the DRM keys lost with the unlocking process.

If you don't want to (or just if you can't) restore them, you can relock via Flashtool pressing the "BLU" button.

;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varxx:
O.K., thank you, istux. Your information, as always, is invaluable.

I am really excited for upgrading my x play to marshmallow 6.0 from lollipop but after using it a while i am facing very less battery backup on marshmallow as compared to lollipop I merely get 3 hours of Screen On time and the battery last for 15-16 hours on normal usage.Is anyone else facing this problem !!
[X Play General] bablu048:
if you are rooted , try amplify and greenify, it helps a lot. you could also try to edit doze settings to make the device sleep faster than google intended.

mine Sot was reduced after MM, so i started tweaking doze and installed Greenify+Amlipfy. Now i get approx 50min-1hr SOT per 10%. i am not a heavy user, i do lots of browsing and whatsapp on data and i get around 6 hours SOT from 100-40%..never have drained the whole battery ..i guess it'll go beyond 10hour.[as battery saver kicks in at 15%].
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Let the phone go through a few charging and discharging cycles to let phone stabilise.
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
using it for more than a month:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
that was awsome thinking to root now.
[X Play General] bablu048:
could you post a screenshot of your current battery when its around 40-50%
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
:o

right now it is 73% and sot is 50 min !
[X Play General] bablu048:
disable auto sync from accounts settings and locations....limit background data for Google play services..see if it helps. don't root now first try the existing optimizations.
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
done ! now waiting for the results.
[X Play General] bablu048:
if you need good battery then you have to cut down core functions according to your use.

I need the phone for whatapp and browsing so I turned off pretty much everything else like app auto-update I don't need Google to search every 30min if a new version is available, turned off NFC when I am not using.
[X Play General] dev>null:
[MENTION=6108881]Himalaya saxena[/MENTION] are you on stock rom or which one ? Check battery usage in System / Battery menu and report it. If you want people trying to help you please be more accurate and provide some detailed information and evidence. ;)
[X Play General] pijes:
NFC only uses little power. I keep it on all the time and still manage to get 6-7 hours SOT for every full charge
[X Play General] pajo985:
bluetooth is using extremely small amount of battery, too

it has LE profiles, so no need to turn it off, if someone is wondering about that :)
[X Play General] Phobos.87:
It seems there are quite few people with battery issues around... My phone lasts around 16hrs too, with everything pretty much turned off and very moderate use. No games, no videos, no music, no Facebook, no IMs. Just some Chrome, phone calls etc. My 2 year old Nexus 5 would last just as much, which is kinda laughable, given battery, SoC and age difference...
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Please upload the screenshot of your battery stats.
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
here is the screenshot .Ps: screen brightness is 40% all time
[X Play General] AhmedFaiz:
My friend is also having the same issue.People with this battery issue after update, Have anyone tried factory reset yet?

Did it help?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
by going into

settings > battery and then clicking the three dots on top right > battery optimisation

Check that are apps getting optimised.

Also one more thing, By going to

Security > apps with usage access (at bottom) > Turn off the usage access of the apps there (would be play store and play services)

Do click the three dots on top right and touch the show system and another app named "motocareint" would show up. Turn it's usage access off also.

After doing all this, charge your device to 100 percent and then use normally till it hits 10 percent. Then share your battery stats.
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
thanks for the tweak will report it back
[X Play General] Phobos.87:
Here's another issue: Roughly one hour after unplugging, used it at home, within WiFi range. Only Chrome and Tapatalk, 45mins SOT. 9% battery missing, but only 3% showing up here.

Edit: With time, the gap between actual battery status, and per-app usage stats gets bigger and bigger. Here's @ 70%, with app usage only giving 19% altogether.
[X Play General] love@hate:
Ah Man ,,what a terrific battery life this device has

Unplugged at 9 in morning , till bed its at 50%,5 hrs SOT already with:

1. 3g on all time and pretty bad signal most of time

2. Fb , WhatsApp

3. Moto display , Auto brightness at 50%,Auto rotation on

4. Google now on , location off
[X Play General] Phobos.87:
That's pretty insane, but kinda exactly what it should be on battery this size. Unfortunately I'm not getting anywhere near that. Like literally miles away.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Marshmallux rom and squid r14 kernel. Watching movies and browsing most of the time.I only use wifi and don't use mobile data.Screen brightness around 10/20% and adaptive brightness switched off. I like it.
[X Play General] bablu048:
yeah I saw your battery stats its bad, I sometimes miss 3-4% in my battery stats .. if nothing helps why don't you try for replacement.

with a battery this size you should get 8-9-10 hour SOT.
[X Play General] pijes:
Heavy usage, on wifi watching videos and clash of clans
[X Play General] pijes:
SOT
[X Play General] bablu048:
me too same SOT around 10 hr, with dual sim and too much browsing on data. no games.
[X Play General] love@hate:
Till Morning I had 7 hrs 25 min SOT with 37% battery left

May I know what is yur usage sceanrio ,, like what apps u have ,,r u up for tons of streaming ,,or u games a lot ,,ru facing wifi battery draining bug,,as u can see my wifi is off all the time,3g on all time with below average signal,,, mines pretty basic usage in full day routine ,but it includes very high phone use but not gaming . Also I try to use browser instead of going apps for most part ,,, apps are nothing but battery/ram hog and pretty much render the same pages as browser. I wil suggest u hard reset
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
How you guys getting this much of SOT i can't even touch half of it !!
[X Play General] bablu048:
disabling WiFi and Bluetooth scanning from location settings improves the battery a lot. settings>>location >>right corner 3dots.

and also disable auto sync from accounts
[X Play General] pijes:
Moderate usage I only get around 5 hours SOT, battery loss from standby because Doze never kicks in since phone always in my pocket
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Same problem when I bought my phone.Something was wrong with moto services constantly waking my device when not using the phone.After I did a factory reset everything was fine again. So people with battery problems do a FACTORY RESET first and disable all settings you don't use.Worked for me.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

5 hours sot ain't that bad. It also makes a big difference how you set your screen brightness.Keeping this around 10/20% with adaptive display switched of can give you a few hours more.
[X Play General] Phobos.87:
I wouldn't go as far as few hours, but definately some.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Setting the display to adaptive will drain much greater amount of battery as it will constantly try to reduce or increase it according to the shifting conditions. Keep brightness at the lowest or a notch higher.

Remember higher brightness takes a lot of toll on battery. You would think it's just at 30% but it drains huge amount of battery.

Lower battery stats after MM

Hello guys, happy to see there are ppl getting SOT above 7hrs as it shud b what we cud expect from MXP. I was happily getting good SOT (ie 6hrs + easily) while i was using LP. But after the update to MM, my battery stats went so poor (btn 4-5hrs SOT). So i thought of doing a factory reset. Aftr that the stats imprvd and now am getting arnd 5:30 - 5:45hrs SOT which is fine with me, eve though i wished my MXP cud deliver more. I do moderate usage with my phone, and all the stats stated above are with respect to similar usage scenario (ie no Data, only wifi, no games, whatsapp,twitter and all those sort, and largely into browsing).

But now i see that my device is capable of going above 7hrs SOT, and so guys help me out on what more i can do to get a better battery stat. Btb, i stats mentioned above is what i get between 100%-19% battery.
[X Play General] bablu048:
disable WiFi scanning settings from location.. disable auto sync from accounts and limit background data for the applications you don't use specially Google play services. also disable WiFi auto scanning off. that should do it.
[X Play General] Himalaya saxena:
Did it till same results !
[X Play General] ToninhoTavares:
I'm using the ROM Stock Marshmallow with Squid Kernel r14, with the Governor Lionfish, Amplify, Greenify, Doze Settings Editor. I am very satisfied with these settings... Very different from the customs I used that barely reached 4 hours the screen.

PS: I made this battery life test yesterday, was still using the r14 version of Squid Kernel... today I made the upgrade to the new version, r14b, but the settings remain the same. ;)
[X Play General] jairamr:
No change! but wifi draining too much.

Tried all things mentioned above and waited for about 10 cycles. I still get btn 5:30-5:45hrs of SOT. Also this is when am using wifi thru out. Also i was able to see that often wifi takes much of the battery! This is certainly a bug wch im incurring after 2-3 cycles of charging. After rebooting the phone, this large draining due to wifi just simply reduces. Pls check the screenshot attached.For just 8hrs of wifi usage it has consumed almst half of my battery! If anyone else has exprncd this as well, pls letme kno.

Also regarding Doze settings, can smone guide me whtr we can do any in-app settings?
[X Play General] Castore:
Sorry but, if you turn off google play services, don't you lose sync? Even gmail and calendar sync?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
That's not turning off Google play services but they continuously keep an eye on our usage. Don't worry. I myself has these things done that I mentioned in the OP and my device is working totally ok.
[X Play General] macarv:
Same problem here... I had already disabled all configs you suggested, but I noticed no improvements so far. Also, I think cell standby is draining more battery than it should be.

It's frustrating to get only 4h SOT with that huge battery :(
[X Play General] Tom.K:
After upgrading to Marshmallow, I don't have any issues about battery drain as far I've noticed. I've left WiFi on for 5-6 hours along with running YouTube for 4-5 hours, SOT was 10 hours, along with 1-2 days being idle.
[X Play General] wazbits:
WiFi battery drain report

After testing & observing the battery drain from WiFi since Marshmallow update & a factory reset I can tell you that all was fine for a couple of days then the WiFi started to top out on battery use so I turned WiFi off completely & the percentage & mAH used still keep increasing, this is happening on my old Nexus 5 as well as my MXP. All very strange.
[X Play General] jairamr:
very true!

I too tried factory reset, then after 2 - 3 days the wifi topped out for my phone as well! Today also after charging fully, the wifi simply keeps on draining!

The attached screenshot is from yday's cycle. For 9hrs wifi it has drained 2000mah! If anyone know anything regarding this, pls let us know bcz its so irritating ! :\..
[X Play General] wazbits:
Solved --work around wifi battery drain

This is not really solving the bug but I went to>

Settings>Location>Mode> device only ( just use GPS) & now Battery stats look normal ie, no WiFi at top drawing lots of current. Tried every other suggestion to no avail. Also worked on my Nexus 5.

I can live with this.:good::good:
[X Play General] pijes:
Have you guys tried disabling the wifi scanning option? It's hidden under Location menu, press the 3 dot link and disable it from there
[X Play General] jairamr:
Yes ofcourse. Tried that too. Still this issue stands. And the weird thing is that,once we reboot,the problm just vanishes! During yday's btry cycle, i was initially having the wifi drain,then once i rebooted, the wifi drain just stopped and continued to be normal accrding to the usage, unlike this mammoth drain!

No real WiFi drain, just a reporting issue

Hi

Ever since I loaded Marshmallow on my two Nexus 5 I've been looking into the WiFi drain issue. I've been trying all reported solutions that are out there with no success. Problem is less or not visible for a while but it always reappears. Now that I've upgraded the Moto X as well and I see the same WiFi drain reporting I decided to use all three phones (2 N5 + 1 Moto X) to see if there where any differences. Here is what I found:

WiFi only shows up in "battery list" once WiFi has been connected to a network, after that point it remains in the list and it looks like it's consuming power even if Wifi is turned off. E.g. Reboot your phone have Wifi on but not connected and there will be no drain.

Different settings of Wifi (Sleep profile, location profile) does effect the reported number but WiFi will always be in top of the "battery list" as soon as you have connected to a network.

Finally I ran one more test in which I did a factory reset on one of the N5 and cleared all Google sync, so there is no data usage going on in the background, except Play services. I fully charged the phone (2300 mAh) rebooted and connected to a WiFi network (to get the drain started).

After 36 hours, I still had 90 % of the battery capacity left but when you look at the reported WiFi power consumption, it reports that it has consumed ~2100 mAH, E.g. nearly the entire battery capacity.

So my conclusion is that there is no real WiFi drain issue in Marshmallow as reported by many. It's a reporting error on how much power the WiFi is consuming.

With this finding, I'm giving up on trying different "solutions" to the problem.
[X Play General] jairamr:
Yes, maybe its just a reporting issue rather than an actual drain. But during the condtn when there is this WIFI drain, the phone actually drains a lot more than it shud. Like for eg: for me, usually over 1hr SOT, my phn drains from 100% to 90%. But in those cycles whn wifi shows up the top of the list, i get around 30-40mins SOT, wch shud clearly give an idea that smthn else is draining the battery more than usual. Whn i hav weird drop in battery with minimal SOT this wifi shows up the top of the battery cnsmption table. So this is the reason I feel like wifi is in actual draining the battery rather than just a reporting issue. Its jst my thought tho. Lets see how others are reporting regarding this.. hm .
[X Play General] suzpel:
Hi,

I haven't investigated if the WiFi in Marshmallow is consuming more battery than in Lollypop. That might still be the case. My conclusion from my test is simply that the calculated battery consumption reported for WiFi in Marshmallow is not correct.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
I'm still wondering if people with only 4 sot have factory reset after an upgrade and how they use their brightness. If I put my brightness to the max I also get only around 4 hours sot and when I play games constantly its even shorter.Motorola also adviced to factory reset your phone after an upgrade because of some bug.I have a sot around 8 hours with brightness set to 20% and only surfing the internet using wifi and watching videos.
[X Play General] wazbits:
Yes, as I said I've been at this for a while, done a lot of searching & reading & the only thing I've found to stop this happening on the MXP & nexus 5 is to use only GPS for location.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

>>>>>>Try Location >Mode>Device only......... This works on my MXP & Nexus 5 now under normal use one & a half days with 5 to 6 hours SOT. That will do ;)
[X Play General] jairamr:
Yup. Will try today by changing the location settings. but i wonder whtr this really changes even if i keep the location services OFF during most of the day.. Anyway wil let u know after doing 2-3 cycles with this new settings :). Thanks anyway mate..

Hi Under Battery Optimisation, I notice DMService isn't optimised, is it safe to disable this service? Cheers
[X Play General] Ausraster:
My problem is that some apps, Bluetooth, phone and some other things keep my phone always awake. It's not going into deep sleep that's what causes the battery drain in MM for me.
[X Play General] brian10161:
Rooted stock Canadian Telus firmware with xposed running. Really haven't messed with it much.

Bluetooth on all day with a headset connected.

WiFi on all day (scanning off)

Location set to GPS only

Two emails syncing, one Gmail and one Exchange

No internet messaging, just regular SMS.

No Facebook

No twitter

1 hour voice call over BT

30 mins SOT

This is good battery life in my opinion.
[X Play General] saintsimon:
I don't get it. I'm using a converted dual sim MXP with stock MM and latest Squid kernel. For the night or when I wish so, I usually switch off both SIMs but leave on Bluetooth for my LG GWatch or Headsets, NFC and WiFi for continued service. So, no real Airplane mode to keep on the non-mobile radios seamlessly.

But still, the mobile radio shows up as the largest consumer of all, no signal but still running and draining permanently, visible both in GSAM battery monitor and the internal stats.

:confused::mad:
[X Play General] LaurenceGough:
I'm getting no where near the battery life of some of you guys, I am wondering if my new Moto X Play battery is faulty! I have disabled all the unnecessary services and apps, but my battery lasts a day at best when using it a fair bit, around 4.30hrs SOT. WiFi/Bluetooth turned off. My phone arrived totally flat out of the box so I was wondering if it was faulty from day one.
[X Play General] nybor:
I turned on Greenify's Aggressive Doze, charged the phone to 100%, and went to bed. Eight hours later it looked like this.

Please note this is just for interest. I do actually use the phone during the day. I do actually know that the battery isn't going to last 7 days. But I have no complaints about the standby time!
[X Play General] saintsimon:
If you can replace it with another unit, try that. A flat battery out of the box is not normal.
[X Play General] LaurenceGough:
Well I did phone up Motorla but they said this was normal. However my knowledge is that these batteries are damaged from over discharge from storage loss etc. Also my battery life appeared to be longer on Lollipop, even though I had the mobile radio active bug. Maybe I should push for a replacement... Dunno if the battery is easily replaced.
[X Play General] nybor:
Before I buy a phone with a fixed battery I make sure I watch a teardown and decide whether I'll be able to replace the battery myself. Here is the X Play teardown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ-vIvqB0-I and it's less daunting than on many other phones.
[X Play General] Saanus1:
Hv any one tried a full clean rom installation. I mean does this wifi bug issue exist after mm rom installation through rsd lite or anything
[X Play General] varunadi:
Having lesser screen-on time than before

So, thanks for this post, because after updating my Moto X Play XT1562 (Indian version) to Marshmallow back in the last week of December, I noticed a considerable drop in SOT from 6-7 hrs to 4h 30 min. Mostly have the WiFi on, but keep the phone in flight mode when I am sleeping. Standby time is brilliant (doze does a very good job and I'm impressed, so with mild usage of apps I can comfortably use the phone for a good 2 days on full battery). So my only annoyance is the fall in screen on time, otherwise I have no problems with the Marshmallow update; I actually like some features in it.

Later on, after reading a lot about rooting and the benefits of it, and how it would improve the battery life of the phone, I decided to root the phone and rooted it successfully (about 3 weeks back). As suggested I tried to use Amplify, however that doesn't seem to work for me (gives me issues because it says the Xposed Framework is not installed on my phone for some reason, even though I have installed it. I am attaching screenshots which show this)

This forum has been greatly helpful for me to understand more about android and I hope this time it can be useful again to resolve this issue. I would really want to have 6-7 hrs of screen on time (10 hrs is too much :laugh: )

Sorry if there is a red haze in any of the screenshots, it's because of the blue light filter app on my phone.

[X Play General] K.khiladi:
As the phone is not in airplane mode and there is no signal,the phone keeps searching for a signal in turn using a lot of battery. That might be the case why it's at top.

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

SOT is also dependent on how much you rest your phone. If you use your phone continuously, you can easily get 8 hrs on wifi with 2g as preferred network.
[X Play General] varunadi:
Okay, I will keep that in mind. But do I need to do a factory reset to improve my SOT? Because I feel many with Marshmallow updates are having this issue and nothing else (I have disabled all the battery draining features and my screen brightness is always at the lowest).

Plus, is anyone else having an issue with Xposed running on the MXP like in my case?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
It is generally recommended to factory reset once after a big update.

Many users are using xposed flawlessly on their x play. Just make sure you install correct version.
[X Play General] pijes:
with rooted MM I think we no longer need amplify and greenify. install naptime to tweak Doze settings and it will take care of the wakelocks and background apps. at least that what I thought.
[X Play General] saintsimon:
I figured finally I have to use Airplane mode, but I had to uncouple the other radios from mobile radio. I believe with Secure Settings I managed to uncouple the radios, but Secure Settings has become less and less reliable since KitKat.

Anyway, if I switch off the last SIM slot, I logically expect the radio to stop running uselessly, but it obviously doesn't stop, which makes no sense to me. One can still make emergency calls with the SIMs switched off, says the tile display, but wtf?
[X Play General] RafaelOliveira:
My Moto X Play the cell standby is in the top of the list too. Mine is the dual SIM version, but I use only one SIM. I turn off all the connections before going to sleep, leaving only the 3G signal on, in case someone calls me (mobile data off). Even setting it to 3G instead of 4G, it's spending too much battery.
[X Play General] varunadi:
Okay so I am planning to factory reset it now. However it is a rooted phone, sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question but I hope I won't lose any of the root permissions if I factory reset it?
