Why I root

I personally root for Xposed and ability to remove any system app I don't want. I also like the ability to run root for add blocking app. I like to back up apps with titanium backup when changing devices. Plus many more like twrp bckp, advanced power menu, color/themed icons etc. Just to name a few.

Thanks I sure appreciate your work I was about to resale when I couldn't get root. Now I am content with the device and that's thanks to you and the Russian Lenovo Forums. Thanks again!!!
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vespino75:
Can i ask you what system apps did you remove? I removed with success (no root i disabled for user zero from adb) "user experience" app, but i want to remove all the ****.

Thank you!

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] SAMVREMIX:
Sorry if the question has been answered before but does anyone else get a lot of battery drain due to 'phone idle'. I'm unsure whether if deep sleep not working or what but have never had this problem with any other phones I have had.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] palkia171993:
Yes, I'm definitely experiencing the same problem. I left the phone overnight and it lost almost 7% which is a lot compared to my old Z1 (only 1-2%). Other time is also similar. Sometimes, it feels like it as if actively using the phone actually uses less power than leaving it idle. Looking at the battery chart seems normal but the phone actually discharges fast on standby (sometimes I lost 25% after just 4-5 hours standby) :confused: I'm really want to know if others experience this as well and how to fix.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Darni187:
Yes I'm having the same problem.. Phone idle taking more drain than screen right now..

It's deffo a bug with this 7.0 update.. Hopefully it gets fixed in next update..
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Phat-T:
My battery sucks now after the Nougat update! Drains really quickly on standby. I even turned WiFi scanning off but it didn't seem to help
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6476447:
I am facing the same issue too

Phone idle appears at the top of the list, claiming 135 mah

While my screen states its using 49 mah
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] dillalade:
Similarly and annoyingly. Since Nougat my phone barely deep sleeps.

My phone was deep sleeping amazingly on mm. But now it barely deep sleeps. Ridiculous update which now requires me to perform a clean full wipe install of Nougat. Which currently I have no time for, hence my battery dies ridiculously fast. Annoying and not what I was expecting, this removed my excitement away from receiving the new Nougat update and instead am left with work to do to get this one back to par.

This has happened to me before on previous Sony phones when installing new ota updates. Clearly something Sony is good at.

For the OP - this is one of the best apps to determine CPU behaviour, simple and to the point. Particularly scroll to the bottom to obtain how well or not the phone deep sleeps.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy

Since upgrading via OTA to Nougat my device barely deep sleeps, rather it sits at 307mhz when idle. Battery gone to sh!t. Forced to do a factory reset fresh installation (when I get enough time to.)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6476447:
To save everybody's time, I have performed a clean install of nougat and the issue still persists
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Darni187:
Thanks,

It's seems the idle just stays on all the time even if the phone is being used..

Sony needs to release a patch for this asap..
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] dillalade:
Clean install, locked and unrooted, DRM in tact?

Still unfavourable deep sleep?

Then that surely is pointing to a inherent issue with Sony Nougat.

However why isn't everyone here with XZ Nougat complaining the same?

We need more input.

In the meantime I will need to bite the bullet and reset my phone as well and report back.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] SAMVREMIX:
Been using kernel auditor to check usage. Will reset it and will use the phone as normal tomorrow and report any findings.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6476447:
Yup, mine is stock, unrooted, drm intact
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] angelanh:
I got the same problem with you too, 7% after night, my old phone was Z1 to compare too. After update to 7.0 then back to 6.0.1 battery drain is less, but still more than normal.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] hinsleymcgraw:
I also Started to get huge Phone Idol drain (top of battery usage) after OTA update to Android 7 on Stock unrooted, Ive done a complete fresh start through xperia companion and still getting big drain from Phone Idol.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] realfelix:
Got the same problems you guys are facing.

My phone did drain from 100% to 88% in just 2 hours (Display on: 35 minutes half brightness, phone calls 10 minutes) and its on WiFi not even mobile data. My girlfriends phone did drain about the same with 35 mins display on BUT calls of 45 minutes.

Oh and idle yeah on WiFi about 1% every hour and on Mobile Data 3%/hour.

This is really bad imho and it's been 2 times I've repaired the device via Xperia Companion. Funny about this is, that always on the first run I get a message "Firmware could not be repaired". Then I restart the whole process and it does just fine. Same with restoring images/videos.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] b.ike:
I've started to notice my phone idle is near the top of battery usage. Initially after installing Nougat, battery life was great. Now I narrowly get 5hours of SOT. Currently at 70% and phone idle has used 19% of battery at 196mAh and SOT 1.5hrs with 182mAh. Not sure why the phone is not sleeping.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] angelanh:
I upgrade to 7.0 again recently, and it only cost 1% per night, it's quite good :D. But battery consume while using is not much improvement like idle.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Facing the same problem, though i dont think its actually draining in my case, the phone deep sleeps fine but the drain with screen on is just appaling, since I got it I only got 4 hrs Max SoT thats with MM and N. It just seems that the battery generally sucks.

As of now, i have 84%: sot 23% 48 min - phone idle 20% (time on 4 h 35 min). By this it means i'll get about 3.5 hrs SoT which is normal in my case (though not good in my opinion)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] palkia171993:
I've just updated to the lastest .374 from .327. From what I experienced, the standby battery life have improved. I left it overnight and it only lost 2% (unlike 7% like before) which is probably ok for now.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] herasymcuk:
Do you want to say.....that leaving the phone all the night....it lose 2% only???? I can't belive....normally it goes down by step of 2/3% for hours....so in 7/8 night you have to lose at least a 20%....minimum....
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] palkia171993:
Well my battery result probably need more testing but it has never lost up to 20% per night. It would be outrageous if that happens. Are you sure there isn't anything that continuously running in the background of your phone? You could try a factory reset? Usually losing that much of battery per hour is only when the phone is actively being used, I think.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] deepershades:
one fix apparently is to reset your app preferences in the settings menu.......
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] racelaj:
Also you can check Running services in Developer Options to see what apps are running and therefore may be draining...
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] dinohunter117:
Had this issue for a while too on Nougat. I am rooted, and fixed it by switching the CPU governor to Conservative for both big and little cores. Now i get great deep sleep and like 3-4 hrs SOT. Give it a try
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] webwude:
I get 3-4 hours of SOT without any optimization or root. With root you can try things like Greenify or Amplify to reduce unwanted wakelocks. Then you should get 5 hours +.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] knudsen81:
Is it normal android os is about 17%
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] kioshi:
Good to know and this explains why DoCoMo hasn't pushed Nougat out to the Japanese XZ model that I have.

Throw the phone on airplane mode with wifi on and see if it drains the same as with your modem on.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] tempurastyle:
My phone is the X compact and I am on stock, locked bootloader, Nougat, and I am also experiencing the Phone Idle battery drain. Seems the issue is a Nougat problem across different devices. Greenify with Aggresive Doze enabled doesn't reduce the Phone idle drain.

Interestingly, Gsam Battery doesn't register the Phone Idle drain at all.

Battery Stats Comparison after 7 hours unplugged and 1h 50min SOT:

Gsam Battery Monitor: 1) Screen 47% 2) App Usage 32.4% 3) Wifi Active 13% - I have to mention that Gsam can't register individual App Battery consumption without root

X Compact Battery Stat: 1) Phone Idle 23% 2) Screen 18% 3) Android OS 11%

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia...1186556/page/9

i removed my sd card in the morning

did a full load and after 3 hours i am on 98 %. seems to be a problem combined with sd card and content of sd card. this is not special for xperia xz, it also happens on x and xa with newest android 7 rom from sony

update : i changed my sd card 2 days ago, copied my pictures and music back ( which is all i thought , i have on my sd card) and since 2 days no drain any more.

Check that you havent got "always keep wifi on during sleep" setting on, in network settings.

This was my cause of phone idle.

My phone is also in factory condition. After a hard reset and tweaked some settings suggested by other users (such as wifi scanning). Issue still persists. Its almost always higher than %10.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankabir:
Hi

I just bought a ZenFone2 yesterday. It's a China/India variant

[B][U]551ML Z00_ADB[/U][/B]

- (4GB RAM + 16 GB Internal + 1.8Ghz CPU).

Because it's a "grey import" there's no manufacturor's warranty with it (unless I fly to China) - so I'm gonna get to modding this. Now I've been doing it for years with my previous HTC One and Galaxy S3..

However, this Asus Zen seems to be "too commonly named"... the variants, the different versions.. many of them ZE551ML - yet specs different. In fact it took me 5 minutes just to find this one I bought on any website at all (cuz usually the 1.8Ghz version is supposed to carry 2GB RAM)..

Anyway- sorry to drift off topic - I need a quick/easy link to the right files to turn this into a WW version with all 4G channels open hopefully.

It's currently on Android 5.0 and baseband 2.something...

I don't really want to experiment too much because it's my first upgrade in 4 yrs...

So ideally - I'd be asking anyone familiar with this specific variant to point me in the right direction..

Bootloader/Root

FW Upgrade

WWE Variant

Kernel

MM/Noug (I'd go with AICP but ZenUI does offer some cool stuff)

Very familiar with adb commands and stuff - I've been modding apps and kernels for a long time. *Not*Coder* though.

TIA

WW version do not opens all Bands of 4G. tell me which particular band you want to use or u need?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankabir:
Okay - But this variant has only one Chinese band. I travel a lot (and live in UK) so I'd need EU + North America + India/Bangladesh -

-- Would be able to answer the rest of my question please? -- (the official asus site has only Lollipop in CN variant SKU, WW has Android M but Japan variant is even newer (Dec 2016) - Shall I grab those or....? I need to fully unlock/crack this open as I will be modding into Nougat soon from Cyano/AiCP
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
as i mentioned earlier none of the firmware will open all the frequencies.

TW version will open band 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,18,19,28

WW version will use 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20

US version 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,17,20

CN version 1,20 on FDD and 38,39,40,41 on TDD

and you can choose any of above version of firmware. to change the firmware you must get RAW firmware of your desired version and flash it via Fastboot commands. there are other ways to do so like flashing ifwi and boot files then updating via zip.. but raw is the most safe method. as there are lot of chances you may brick your device..
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankabir:
Thanks - No info about Europe/EMEA then... What bout Japan? - They have the latest (Dec 2016) FW
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
buddy either you are unable to understand or i am not getting it.... being on latest firmware will not change anything in Band configuration. whatever firmware you are on. either it is very first release or the latest one band configuration will be the same. you have choose firmware according to your required Band Config. don't look at latest release. look at your requirement..
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankabir:
-Then you did not understand. Please let me repeat it again.

Your msg quote " choose firmware according to your required Band Config. don't look at latest release. look at your requirement. "

My question in my reply " What bout Japan? - They have the latest (Dec 2016) FW "

=

There was no information about the JP SKU FW

- so if I do not know what bands are availabe in THAT FW, then how will I know if it matches requirement?

Choose FW based on Requirement

Don't look at Release FW, look at your requirement. - That's a paradox BUDDY.

Someone has to look at the Released FW (bands + other features) AND then check if it matches their requirement. YES?

Also (separate question)

isn't it possible to merge the various radio_xx.img from different FWs into one CFW so all are open? I've done it previously for HTC One long time ago. I'm wondering if it is different for this device or OS.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
unfortunately i tried to activate different bands but no success till now.. as per concern with JP firmware.. download it and look for active 4G bands in tlv file..... i don't have JP firmware on my PC. and not willing to download too. data is too costly Buddy. so check it yourself
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankabir:
Solved it, it was easier than other phones actually sys/intel has the right files that need merging from different variants.
