[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Didn't know about that app. Such a shame since i was happy with the battery life of my xp BEFORE .238.

Ill look up 360. Im just not a fan of putting 3rd party apps to improve my smartphone (had some bad experiences).

Ill let it run as is for now. Ill update in a few days, maybe sun or mon.

But right now I'm very worried.

I have the EN, ZH version. Which i think is te better version since its the F8132. Dual sim and 64gb internal.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yeah I wish I HAD known about it way earlier. Had my Z3 for like 18 mos, first 15 suffered through having to constantly ask ppl to resend MMS group texts to me cuz I wasn't getting them. So embarrassing, and annoying. But those last few mos I FINALLY got to enjoy the phone as it was intended to be.

I dunno what's going on with your XP honestly. I too have the EN, ZH version of the F8132. Since I've already activated SM a couple times while out last week, IF it's once again faulty, the damage is already done. I will note that if at 100% it's telling me something much lower than 33 hours that there's prob an issue and I need to factory reset, or if I notice rapid battery drain. I hope it never comes to that though.

Well with 360.......... I had tried out some other apps before which were epic fails, but 360 DID the trick on the Z series. It was a Godsend really. lol It costs $1.95 (which you pay for in-app), but to me it was worth it. You could just try the free version and if you notice it actually making a difference, you could buy the full version too if you want. But I think if you just enable the middle and bottom parts (leave top part alone....... you'll know what I mean if u get it) then that MIGHT be enough? Not sure if you can w/o having full version though.

I mean, it's either you simply just have a defective phone, or SM WASN'T actually FULLY fixed. We don't know which it is, yet. My advice honestly would be to factory reset, and then either try 360 or just go w/o any power saver options for a couple weeks and see how things go on the Battery Life screen. It's hard to say right now if it's JUST YOUR phone or if SM is the real cause. I'm actually on my 2nd XP already. The first one was clearly defective as even after rebooting it, during calls, the phone screen would stay ON and my ear would like disconnect the call. lol That could be the case with your XP. I mean, it's mass production. These things happen. If it is SM, that would actually bother me more esp if 360 doesn't work (again if u try it, let us know results) b/c that means no way to extend the battery life of phone that works and doesn't cause issues. I'm actually hoping ur phone is defective now. LOL Because if not, then we're BOTH out of options. (Last possibility is maybe an app u have that I don't is causing this issue perhaps?? I dunno.)
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Well I highly doubt my phone is defective, I say this based on the fact I haven't had any troubles with it. Unlike some other people report. My only issue was the phone got really hot during camera and video use.

Other than that im very happy with my xp.

No contacts issue, lag during multitasking, no sudden power downs or double tap to open issues.

Phone has been good. Thats why I suspected the system update 35.0.a.1.238 as the cause for the poor batt life.

Im very an al about my batter life and noticed straight away it was affected and reduced from what I'm accustomed to with the old system number.

I'll let it run until sun or mon. If its still bad ill report it here.

Then I'll have to try a software repair via xperia companion, if still nothing, I'll do a full factory reset.

Other than that all i can do is read about other peoples feedback to make sure im not the only one.

---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

Slight update.

Phone at 83%

SM off 23hr 8mins

SM on 23hr 36mins

Now that alone is a red flag. Even at stock software turning SM yielded hours of extra battery life.

Something is seriously wrong with system update 35.0.a.1.238.

If I do a factory reset will it reset my system software too?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
I lose a maximum of 1 percent overnight. Yay..but my phone performs like ****

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

My phone shows almost 200 hours with stamina on and 77% battery remaining.

Stamina is just calculating on how you use it... Sometimes it will be more and sometimes not, if you leave the stamina on and check after an hour it should be more
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
I understand SM is an estimation, but I should be getting more than a few mins when turning on SM.

Before 35.0.a.1.238, i always got hours almost double when I turned on SM. Regardless of when and how often I use it.

What I'm saying is the new 35.0.a.1.238 system update has ruined SM for me. Battery drains alot faster too. Alot faster.

I haven't changed a thing, all I did was download the system update. No new apps, no over usage of the phone such as watching movies or playing graphic heavy games.

Its getting to me because the battery of xp is good, not great but good.

And I want to see who else has my issue.

I even posted on sony forums but every time I post about the system update screwing up SM it was deleted...
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
I forgot to mention that it was a problem for me on the z3 when I updated while having stamina enabled, i always disable and then update.

You should be getting more when activating stamina yes... I just find that deactivating data is better ?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Data is always off. I only use wifi.

Ill wait... But is there a way to revert back to my old build number? Reset to stock build?

Ruining my batter life and SM just so my phone doesnt heat up when I use the camera isnt worth it for me.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Well one issue could turn into more later. My ONLY issue on my Z3 was that buggy SM BS, but that later caused the 2 BIG issues I mentioned earlier with battery drain and not receiving random MMS messages.

No stock Contacts app issue? What carrier do you have?? I'm gonna assume not T-Mobile. lol

Yeah I have the same update you do. I just tested it again at 86% power....... the diff b/t SM projected battery time and no SM is huge on mine (60 vs 26 hours). I will continue to periodically check though. Something is definitely off if your variance is so small.

No I don't believe so. Once you factory reset, it simply will just delete the contents, preferences etc on your phone. But your firmware build # will stay the same. I just wish I knew what was causing it for sure. It may NOT be SM, but something else?? Anything's possible. The diff in projected battery time does remind me of the Z3 SM issue though b/c I remember it would give wrong projected times too. Still, nothing's 100%.

Ok, but a software repair on Xperia Companion from what I remember INCLUDES a factory reset anyway. I would just factory reset it w/o XC, but up to you. Then if it happens again and esp if you activate SM after the fact then it could be SM. If you wanna wait 'til Monday go for it, but I don't think it's gonna fix itself. Maybe, but I doubt it.

The reason I say not to wait on the factory reset is if you just bought the phone, it will be easier to return it if within 30 days. After that, not as easy perhaps? So up to you.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
I bought my phone, didn't get it through a carrier.

I hate havinga locked phone and i prefer pre paid over plans, since carriers love to scam you and put hidden charges knowing you'll pay regardless.

I just thought to wait and let the update normalise.

If it doesn't then yea I'll have to try factory reset etc.

I've had this longer than 30days. So cant return it now.

I also doubt they'd replace my phone because and update made it buggy.

I hope it levels out with time. But I get what you mean by waiting might not do anything.

Already backed up my phone. So I'm prepared.

Hate how there are no changelogs or any info on what was fixed. Wish it was law the updates had to provide this info.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yeah.......NO carriers are selling it anyway. Sony.......maker of excellent phones, but whose sales and marketing depts are run by

world-class

idiots. lol Oh, and their CEO........ I wouldn't let that guy run a McDonald's in Bumblef*ck, Ohio, much less Sony Mobile. lol

Yeah. I have T-Mobile but they don't do contracts and after 2 years phone is paid off and they don't keep charging you like other carriers might or still do. Or if you JUMP and upgrade early.

Ok cool. Let us know either way what happens. I'll report here if I notice anything too. Hopefully it's just a weird fluke and the factory reset (if need be) fixes the issue.

If it was within 30 days and you b*tched hard enough they would. lol

Yeah me too! WTF?! Don't know why Sony wouldn't offer that information up! I'd like to know what was fixed, so f'ing tell me jerks. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
I'm still on 227, haven't updated mine yet, and just like Hell, my stamina is set to auto at 15% and reaches about 200hrs, but I actuall get about 3.5 Days battery life, i don't install unneccessory apps, and I deleted or hid apps I don't use, use the phone for browsing, email and calls only.

May be some of you can try this, it helps to prolong standby time, and the battery life span, and I can confirm it works for me on my other phones.

Since many of you are having the problem, you may want to let the phone auto power off when it runs out of battery to remove any memory in the battery and fully charge to 100 %, do this about 2-3 times, it should takes days to complete.

After fully charged when you use the phone and your battery drops to about 10-15% start to charge the phone, once the charging reach about 90-95% unplug the charger, just continue with this process from now on.

And use a normal 2A charger, never use a fast charger, fast charger reduces the battery life span, and also you battery will drain faster during use.

I use my samsung 2A power adapter, and other like sony 1.5A and some chinese one's rated at 2A to 2.4A.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
200 hours?!!! lol That's crazy. I will leave my SM on for an hour and check again like HellRoot said.

I don't think I have that many apps really. I would say below the average most ppl do.

That's an interesting trick kms. I may try it. But I don't think I could avoid my QC 3.0 charger. Don't think I could go back to regular charging as I've gotten too used to QC. lol Oh well. Maybe that's why you're getting 200 hours. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
To be honest, it's not really a trick, it's a common procedure to prolong the lifespan of lithium battery, if you are going to use a QC charger, you don't need to try, QC charger will kill your battery, all batteries last long when slow charged.

Also I don't really trust those figures, I believe on the results I get, and it's over 3.5 days without charging the phone, and thats good enough for me.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
How heavily do you use your phone during the day?

Yeah I've read similar suggestions before. I'm not gonna keep my phone past 1 1/2 - 2 years anyway, so whatever I guess. If they'd only made the XP with a bigger battery I'd be more open to all this. But Sony had to be dumb there. Or if that 360 Hibernation Master app actually worked on the XP like it did on ALL the Z series phones, I'd be open to it too.

That's pretty amazing man, 3.5 days. That's like Z3 battery life. lol Last week I used my XP from like 11am to about 10pm very heavily while on SM throughout the day (by that I mean lots of internet and app usage, multiple phone calls, tons of pics, checking e-mail, etc). It basically died when I got home. Still, the fact that it made at least that long considering I use QC chargers (though I didn't charge it even once during the day) was still nice.

Update: I disabled a bunch of apps that I'll prob get forced to redownload again later cuz they're "one of those" lol, but even after doing so the projected time on Battery screen in Settings didn't change. Weird. I guess I'll wait an hour and see if it goes above 71 hrs with SM on.

Update again: 90 minutes later, nothing changed. Still same battery level projection as when I started. Oh well. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Good news, I waited all day and no change.

Was impatient so I did a factory reset.

SM FIXED! Or atleast my batt life if better now.

Back to 50 plus hours with SM.

About the charger that comes with the xp, you saying I shouldnt use it?

Use an older usb charger instead?

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

You havto wait overnight.

I remember freaking out after trying alot of graphic heavy games when I first got my xp. The est batt life went down alot. I thought i ruined by over playing it.

So I left it alone for a whole day. When I woke up the batt est was back to normal.

Need to give it more than an hour to recalibrate your est time.

Should do it faster but oh well.

And yes. Id love a 3000mAh batt, dont care if it makes the phone thicker.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
NICE on phone being fixed KYNG!

So I should leave it on SM overnight or no?? Let me know.

Yeah I wouldn't either. I don't know what Sony was thinking selling the phone for $699 with a 2700 mAh battery. Then again, the US XP doesn't have the fingerprint sensor software included. We're talking about SONY MOBILE here. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Its time it takes SM to recalibrate your est time remaining.

Its slow so leaving it overnight should give a new reading when you wake up.

I know it changed for me when I stopped playing games all day. The est batt life went back up.

So just let SM recalibrate. Like someonelse told me, its an est, not actual batt time left.

When you dont use your phone it est how long it will last with your curent activity, so the less you use it, the higher your est time should be.

Im not saying dont use your phone alot. But if you want to make sure SM isnt broken, try letting it recalibrate.

If not, like mine after the. 238 update you can try a factory reset
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Ok so LEAVE SM ON overnight for recalibration to take place effectively. Got it.

Yeah I know it's estimated, but still. lol

Yeah I C.

Ok I'll leave it on SM tonight unplugged and report back here tomorrow.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
KYNG,

So I left SM on and phone unplugged overnight. It's been charging and is now back at 95%. It's telling me right now that at 95% and SM off I only have like 7 hours of battery life left. LOL Yesterday at 100% it said I had 31 hours. Wow........ I'm not saying SM is still f'd up in terms of ACTUAL performance, but it looks like they STILL haven't fixed the battery projection time issue!!

I will not factory reset until I see an ACTUAL ISSUE occur aside from this one. But if it does, I will def factory reset. I wouldn't call this "Strike 1", for the XP. THAT would be Sony Mobile's IDIOTIC DECISION to only use a 2700 mAh battery for this phone. But it is def a small misstep for them. It will STAY small so long as no actual issues come about as a result of enabling SM.

Update: I went into Settings, Apps, Customize Apps, Battery Optimization.......... found Stamina Mode there and cleared its data & cache (an old trick I used on Z3 but it didn't really work back then either), closed it out, then reset the phone. I was hoping after all that when I checked Battery screen it would show the old results, but alas, it's still saying 7 hrs and some change with SM off, and about 22 with SM on. I'm gonna leave the phone unplugged for 7 hours when it reaches 100% in about 2 minutes and see how it is during the day. If it actually IS dead in 7-8 hours, I may just factory reset and reconsider not using SM. If not, I'll just let it go and continue IGNORING the projected battery time it displays. F'ing Sony Mobile dude. Get your SH*T together already.

Do you or anyone know what would happen if under that Battery Optimization screen I was to put SM on the "exemption list"? They let you choose apps you DON'T want battery optimization (aka SM) to affect. I put my texting app on there b/c I notice that when SM is on and I have phone on vibrate it STILL doesn't allow the app to vibrate the phone if I get a new text. Just tested it, and it STILL isn't vibrating, so that means Battery Optimization's exception list is BS and doesn't work. Now, what do you think would happen if I put SM on that list?? Would that do anything?? Please share your thoughts. My guess is since my texting app WASN'T affected by it, that it won't do sh*t. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Oh no. You werent suppose to charge it hehe.

Just leave it idle.

But you're right, those readings are messed up. Not sure about exempting SM, haven't tried.

But you might have to factory reset like I did.

I will say that .238 has messed up the battery drain on my phone. While SM is giving better readings, my phone when in use drains faster than before the system update 35.0.a.1.238.

Idle, the phone drains fine. But when in use drains quicker than I'm use to it draining.

Oh well, all we can do now is hope the next update fixes than it breaks...
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Well I didn't charge it until THIS morning though. Was I supposed to let the battery drain?? You said just overnight. lol

Update: Well this is weird.........so now several hours later...........the SM-off projected time at 100% went

down

from 31 hours and xx min to 29 hrs and 50 min, but the SM-on projected time went UP at 100% from 71 hrs and xx min to 90 hrs and 30 min. So in a way it got worse but also better. lol

Thoughts??
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Well this confirms it... .238 has screwed up SM and battery drain.

Atleast your SM time went up haha.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Haha yeah! It did.

I'm not gonna think too much about it. I will do another overnight test with SM on and next night with it off (or vice versa). If I still get a 7-8% drop with SM off and a 3-4% drop with it on, then it's fine as that's what I got a few weeks ago when I tested it that same way.

If the results are the same or better, then it's fine. But if not, I may consider the factory reset. Hopefully I won't have to though. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Ok new update:

The other night I left SM off overnight and phone unplugged....... and after about 7 hours (give or take 30 min), I lost about 5%, though it oddly "quickly" went down another 2 only a minute or so later. But initially at screen wake up it jumpied from 3-5%, so let's just say 5%. Which I guess is still an improvement since before it was 7%.

Last night I did all the same except left SM on.......... after about 7 hours, it only went down 2%!! Now, I HAD disabled or uninstalled some apps since a couple weeks ago, so that might be contributer, but still.......it was 4% before, now it's only 2. So maybe your idea worked after all KYNG? lol

Here's the weird part though...............at 68%, when I turn on SM, the Battery screen says 19 hrs and 14 min left, but when I turn it off it says 18 hrs and 19 min left! At 100% with SM off, it shows 26 hrs and 42 min (down from 29 hours), but with SM on, it says 28 hrs and 3 min. lol So basically, the Battery project time is STILL not fully fixed. But it seems the phone has improved with regards to battery drain times for both SM on & off, so I guess it was worth it to do this! lol

Thanks KYNG!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] XxKYNGxX:
Good to hear you didn't have to do a factory reset.

But its a shame to hear the .238 did screw up SM.

With the phone on idle the drain is nice and slow. But when doing simple things like browsing a forum website or using bbm by batt drains really fast.

Faster than it used to.

Im still looking forward to a new system update to fix SM and non idle batt drain.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Thanks! Well .238 only screwed up the projected time estimator, not SM itself apparently. lol

Yeah when I'm using the phone with SM off, I dunno........ even b4 I felt like it was draining a bit fast. But when you only have a 2700 mAh battery, I feel like that's to be expected.

This is hilarious. Dude's trying to sell a PROTOTYPE of the F833X for only $513. LOL What an idiot. lol How does he think he's NOT gonna get caught after posting it online?? lol
[Samsung Gear S2] thejdoe:
I've just started designing watch faces for the Gear S2. I am using the latest version of Samsung's Gear Watch Designer on my macbook pro.

I have designed a pretty decent digital watch face that I am very happy with, which includes shortcuts/buttons/icons to my favorite appse. As of now, the buttons are not customizable from the watch.

That being said, I would prefer to make them customizable. Anyone have any tips?

I am not really a true "programmer", so maybe that's going to be my problem... but can this be done using Gear Watch Designer, or will it take actual coding?
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
Need a little more info: Are you only using the button choices that are available on the Button dropdown menu, i.e Properties>Action>Action Detail dropdown?

When you say customize the button, in what way are you trying to customize it?
[XDA Assist] :
Hi everyone! I don't know if this is the right place to post but I've searched the internet with no solution.

Turns out that some years ago I flashed CM 7.2 ROM to my Dell Venue, then I gave it to my sister.

She went out one time with the phone and someone spilled his drink on the phone.

Since then it seems like the SD Card reader broke, cause I've tried different SD cards and the phone didn't recognize any of them.

The problem is that I can't do virtualy anything with the phone now, cause when I open the camera it says "Insert an SD card before using the camera", I can't even get an audio message or an image in whatsapp cause it asks for the SD card. I also wanted to flash the stock ROM but without an SD card I don't know how.

Is there a workaround for the device to use the internal storage? I know it's just 500MB but something is better than nothing. I know that the development for the Dell Venue is pretty much zero at this time, but maybe this is something that happens on other phones too. Thanks in advance and sorry if this isn't the right place to post
