I updated my XZ Premium via OTA official update to 8.0 oreo and before the update my SOT was around 5 and half hours now its even near to 6 and half hours. I did not perform hard reset or clean install just did it via ota . I like the features in the new upadte and they are better - the settings from oreo are brand new and better, new camera features including burst mode and camera lens distortion correction option in the app. Just the phone idle process shows higher usage percent its like 18 percent of the total battery usage and the screen is like 22 persent - but the overall battery life is better - i was thinking to do a full hard reset or software repair thru pc but i read people done that and the usage of the phone idle process reamins the same

Root without unlocking your bootloader is a thing of the past mate, since Z5 at least.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Sensination:
I'd definitely recommend doing "software repair" via PC Companion. I did a clean install without any settings moved over and had a crazy battery drain. After I did a software repair it works like charm!

I think you should always do software repair after such major update.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dv011:
Nice. Any other weird quirks with WiFi or Bluetooth or Camera after Software Repair to newest .51 Oreo version? I've been sticking with 7.1.1 (.137 Nougat) thus far.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dv011:
My settings and SOT so far atm
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Sensination:
It's not the best update to be honest... The battery still isn't as good as on nougat and the battery stats are completely useless. It looks like Phone Idle is either draining battery or some activities are being shoved there as none of my games or MX Player video watching show as using battery. On Nougat they were showing as separate like Spotify on the screenshot but not here... Bugs, bugs, bugs...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
After 24 hrs of usage

After 24 of usage and approx 2 hrs of whatsapp chatting and calling
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dv011:
Finally made it to 10 hrs SOT with the lightest Stamina Mode kicking in automatically at 95%

I watch a lot of YouTube and stream videos on Chrome
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
Were you using LTE all the time or no?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:
yes lte prefered and wifi on [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION] and in the office
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] kanej2006:
I get around 5 hours SOT, no Stamina mode, brightness around 50% but battery lasts for 2 days before needing a charge. I charge around 3 times a week, not a power user, mid use mostly.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] kiritoxda:
Does the battery stop charging when full? On my Z5P the charge indicator turns off after the phone reach 100%, on my XZ The charge light indicator stays on even after its fully charged which i assume means its always charging. If so then I don't recommend leaving the phone plugged in over night since it'll wear the battery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Is this running Android Oreo or nougat?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dv011:
Nougat. Oreo sounds horribad so far even on Pixel
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] alexs784:
Hi guys, I think that I have Issues with my battery. During the night (I mean while I am sleeping, when the smartphone is in standby with just wifi on) battery drain is about 10-15% (!). With about two hours of screen time it reaches about 20% after about 24h. Using GSam Battery first and second entries are Kernel and Android System. I also noticed that in the WakeLock section, Doze Time Light is high (around 20h) while Doze Time Deep is zero. Is that normal? Have any ideas or tips to improve my situation?

By The way my configuration is: Android O 8.0.0 with November security patch. I bought the phone a week ago, arrived with Nougat, configured my Google account, downloaded automatically all apps from the Google backup, then I installed Oreo update. Stamina mode is automatic at 15%, no apps in background or at least no particular one noticed from GSam battery, just normal stuff like Whatsapp, Facebook, etc with small usage (1% or less)

EDIT:

Formatted, reinstalled all apps, situation seems to be improved but in a really small percent, now after 24h I am on about 30% (1h of SOT with whatsapp, facebook and 1h runtastic session). There is something wrong in standby, especially during night, about 25% of drain from 00:00 to 07:40!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Either you have weak signal or maybe same wakelock, an app keeping your phone awake all the time
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] alexs784:
No signal problem, I though the some, that some app is keeping phone awake, bust I do not notice anything relevant from Battery Stats, GSamBatteryMonitor and AccuBattery now... BTW things seems to be a little improved now, I put Wifi connection mode to "Only when connected" and from AccuBattery I notice 1,8%/h of battery drain while the screen is off. During night is still a lot (about 2%/h means about 16% if you sleep, for example, 8 hours) but before was around 20%...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
How much % of deep sleep you have in 8h of sleep/standby ? ( With wifi off and everything off )
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] alexs784:
AccuBattery state 8h of "Hibernation", while GSamBattery talks about 8h of "Light sleep" and 0 of "Deep Sleep" (This one is always zero)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I stopped using those apps to be honest, GSAM is so inaccurate it gave me false stats many times. About accubattery it's really good but the battery "health" was fake, i used to believe it for many months but after i tried it on my brand new S7 and it showed 93-95% health i knew those apps are useless.

I personally use cpu spy if i want to track my deep sleep, before you sleep open it and reset stats then quickly lock your phone, when you wake up refresh and see how much % of deep sleep you got, it's the only app that gave me accurate stats about deep sleep and cpu usage, and it works without root too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] kevinhecox99:
For your information I usually started my day with my phone unplugged from 5:40 AM and through out the day, with wifi, location(high accuracy), 4G, bluetooth On all the time (for my wireless headset) and maximum brightness, I streamed music for like 2h (spotify, deezer) and play games for like 2hrs total (Modern Combat 5 and Dead Trigger 2), some Youtube videos (around 45 minutes-1hr 6 minutes), and that's just my "light usage" and yet the battery still holds up till like 8:20PM until I charge it again (which is around 5%). Still happy with the performance and battery life though my usage may be heavy and power-intensified to some others.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Arthur Hucksake:
The only thing that bothers me about this phone is the idle drain. Took the phone off charge at 2am. By 8am it had dropped 2 percent doing nothing. Happens a lot during the day. Even while using the battery goes down a bit faster than I'd expect for a 3200mah
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Preacher_at:
Since Oreo my pjone drains the battery over night from 50% to off (zero) and 100% to 0% with moderate usage within one day of 13 hours. No idea why.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Strungout01:
Before the latest update with the December security patch I got around 7-8 hours of SoT. Now I barely manage to get through the day with 3-4 hours of SoT with no major changes made besides the new update. Might have to do a factory reset when I have extra time to do so... Has anybody else experienced this?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Arthur Hucksake:
I jumped a couple of patches but the battery doesn't seem great.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dv011:
I'm going to be staying on 7.1.1 for as long as I can
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
I'm getting decent results on oreo. I upgraded to oreo like a week ago and average 7 hours screen on time. This was about the same with nougat. Seems like everyone has mixed results
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SNOOPLAYAN:
My battery also improved after upgrading to Oreo.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Arthur Hucksake:
Are you using Stamina mode to hit those numbers?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SNOOPLAYAN:
Spot on bro, but only when I'm not really using the phone.

I set stamina mode to:

- Always On (instead of "Auto-start at 15% battery)

- Stamina Level is set to "Battery time preferred"

Again I mostly activate this when I know I won't be using the phone for at least an hour. And I keep it on throughout the night while I'm asleep.

If you set Stamina mode and airplane mode before bed, you won't lose a single percent of battery overnight.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
I have stamina mode enabled at all times but never achieved what you achieved. Must be more to it
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] SNOOPLAYAN:
Charge your battery to 100% and once it reaches 5% take screenshot similar to the ones I took so that we can see where the majority of your power is going.

My brightness is usually between 30% to 50%
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Ok i will give that a shot and see end results
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] alexs784:
That's exactly what I am talking about!!! :angel:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Preacher_at:
Same here, drops from 100% to 33% during the night just laying beside my bed.

As Flashtool now supports XZP I flashed	47.1.A.8.49 Germany Generic and this seems to be much better than my operator's supported version 47.1.A.3.254
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jazee:
I have an LG G6, Android version 7.0 Kernel 3.18.31 Build H87110c

When I'm connected to my Hands Free Bluetooth System in my car listening to music, if I try to use the OK Google command, or press the microphone in my SMS to reply to a text by voice, the music is not paused. It does pause when I'm not connected to Bluetooth hands free (which is when I need to use voice to text!!)

I suspect there's nothing I can do about except wait for an update. Anyone else on Nougat Android 7.0 or G6 having this issues?

Hello :) ,The trick works on the galaxy s8 and s8 +, with any official youtube version.

To be able to do the youtube trick in the background without root, do the following:

● Open the application in the normal way.

● Select the video of your choice.

● leave the video playback.

● Go to the beginning, without closing the multitasking.

□ Here are two options to activate youtube in the background:

1-Through the play button of the headphones that we have connected to the phone.

● Close the default music player on your phone, since it is activated; When you press the play button on the headphones, the music player will be activated and youtube will not be activated.

2-Lock the screen and move the clock widget to the left, the youtube widget appears on the play button and ready; This option works without headphones or headphones.

◇Important never close youtube in multitasking.

□Luck ^-^.

Ive tried entering the fabled password 5444 but it comes up as incorrect. I believe this unit has a fairly updated retail mode application. Before any trigger happy forum moderators try claiming I must have stolen this phone, no, I bought it off eBay for $300. I just wanna turn it into a working phone, it's a project. I know it has 4G capabilities so all I need is to remove the retail app and I can proceed from there. Any help? I just need the new passwords if anyone knows them.

You not steal it but possible the seller stealing it. Ask the seller given you the code. If can't then better return.

It is same crime even though you not steal it but you purchase it from unknown source where high possible that person stealing it or selling it without proper way.

You can contact the seller for the unlock code or else you can return the device. Theres absolutely no point to make such threads as it is obvious that demo units arent sold by any OEM.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FoggyGardenFarts:
Hello everybody!

So I have had my phone for about 2-3 months now.

I have mixed opinions about this phone from the software side but that is not the main problem.

For a few weeks now I am noticing a yellowish tint at right side of the screen, near the bezel. I have not dropped this phone even once, have a case and a tempered glass on it, yet this still managed to happen. I am wondering if some of you have the same problem, since i have not heard about this happening to any other Honoor 8 owner.

And even more important question. Does warranty even cover this type of damage?

Thank you for reading.

P.S. No picture of it now because I do not have anything to take it with.

I had a Moto Z when they first came out and had then lost(through an update) the trick to refresh the data connection to enable the hotspot. I recently got a Z Play and am on 6.0.1 and have the ability now to do that trick. I want to keep the ability to do that but am getting an annoying popup wanting me to install an update to 7.0. So I have 3 questions...

1- Can I update my phone and still be able to refresh my data conn. and enable the hotspot?

2- If NO to ? 1 can I block that popup wanting me to install an update?

3- If NO to ? 1&2 can I root and add/change something in the files to enable tethering?

FYI I have the old Unlimited plan.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ev713:
I've been doing tons of research on this whole battery draining issue on the 6p. I cant seem to find a simple solution around this tired issue that plenty of people seem to be having. My battery has about 3 Hrs of screen on time before it dies. I've tried shutting down all kinds of connection settings, clearing the cache and even factory reseting my phone. I just recently tired the android O beta and that didn't help either. All I want is to figure out if my battery needs to be replaced or is it the software that's killing my battery. I've even called google and they cant help, Huawei wants to charge me $165 for a replacement battery and thats way too much. Has anybody found a fix that doesn't involve rooting the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
It is NOT the software. There is no fix for a badly degraded battery. Replace your battery. Buy the battery online and then shop around for a local shop to install it if you're not able to.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denis_c:
Are you dying at 60% or lower? Does it happen when you open the camera? Does the phone shut off when a random loud sound plays or something of sorts? I ask cause that is what is happening to me. Random reboots? I don't think that is "battery" related per-say.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizza_pablo:
Have you tried installing a battery stats app that can help narrow down the culprit?

More details would probably help others help you.

Does it fully charge?

How long does the battery last, not just screen on time?

3 hours SOT doesn't sound terrible. I've heard worse.

How old is the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
Had the same problem...I bought a new original battery from ebay and replaced the old battery by myself. To be honest, there was not much improvement...now with a medium usage (whatsapp, wifi or 4g always on, some clash of clans/clash royale gaming) I get 3hrs30min SOT at the late evening, never more. And also I'm on francokernel so I should easily get 4hrs but nothing.

Anyway, unless you are an expert, I don't recommend you to replace the battery for yourself because, sadly, the N6P is a phone impossible to open up without damaging it especially the rear glass...surprisingly, on my case it didn't break but it's all scratched and I should buy a new one.

Furthermore, now my battery doesn't charge anymore up to 100%...it's stuck at 93% and only if i unplug and plug again the phone it gets to 98%...to get 100% i have to plug and unplg it several times and wait something like 30min to get from 98% to 100%. I don't know what caused this problem but it looks like there's no solution...software and hardware battery calibration didn't do anything. Maybe the battery I bought was faulty...

In conclusion, buy the new battery but ask someone expert to replace it if you aren't.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkswind1:
The first replacement battery I tried acted like that and it was quite frustrating. It wouldn't charge to 100% and had about the capacity of my degraded OEM battery. I ended up ordering this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-82V-3...wei-Google-Nexus-6P-H1511-H1512-/351786248092 It charges to 100% and has like new capacity, but no internal battery temperature sensor. I installed it in January and have been happy with it. Others have opted for the Cameron Sino brand replacement. more expensive but with working battery temperature sensor.

You can order a replacement back cover with glass and bottom strip for around $25 if you're worrried about scratches. That's under $40 for new battery, aluminum back, camera glass, and bottom strip.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
I think I'll go for the Cameron Sino battery...a little more expensive, yes, but more reliable...I've also heard of people complaining that after 2 months their batteries (ordered from ebay, false OEM) died...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldybill:
So, is that the answer to our fast draining battery issues? To get a replacement battery? The Cameron Sino?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Yes.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 400ixl:
Unless it came from the play store where you can RMA it and let Google have the problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldybill:
But if Google replaces it, it may have the same issues, right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 400ixl:
It could I guess if the battery in the replacement device is a dud. Just got my replacement and the battery is showing 106% capacity compared to 30% capacity on the old one. Back to how it was when I first got it so happy with that service seeing as it was nearly 2 years old.

If the new one does not have a full capacity, then just reject it before you swap over to it and get Google to send out another.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
How are you checking the capacity?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 400ixl:
Accubattery is one way. Do a couple of decent charges with the screen off and then look at the health report.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aubree_s:
