[MENTION=6476447]eddieleon7pc[/MENTION] , what beta google services have you installed ? this one? https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-11-9-51-release/

Nice to see true die hard engineering taking place, no tools no fancy measurements.. just trial and error!
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yup, the latest Google beta (11.9.51) + background activity limited
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
Ok, did the same methods as you and..

Removed location services

Disabled bluetooth and wireless triangulation

Removed almost all of the xperia services, that do not affect photography.

On airplane mode charging ok, device cold and charging ok.

Wifi and no data/voice, device hot, charging 20% charge in 2h on QC3.

Installed the latest beta GPServices again, device dischargint at normal rate but verry hot on mormal use.

Will try to 'recalibrate' battery, full discharge+ full charge on power off

My question is why is this happening only to a few devices if it's a GP services (mailnly) problem.

Mine was working fine since 2days ago when in just got too hot to handle and was discharging faster then it could charge.. I hope is just a battery calibration thing
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
Forgot to mention I'm on unlocked bootloader but no root, so it's almost stock experience.

So, I have charged to ? from 0, my battry has dropped 30% in 1.5h / 30m SOT.. will update on 10%
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I left my phone at 88% last night and woke up at around 11.55 in the morning ,

I checked the battery level and it is 53%

This is when I realise Sony does not optimise their software

They only want to make money and don't care about their customer

They never move on unlike other manufacturer
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
I don't think is a Sony problem.. in fact I'm pretty sure its a Oreo thing.. you cant have a 5 hour battery life phone and sell it like that.

My phone even on airplane mode is downloading updates to apps that are banned to update..

I'm going to investigate further..
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
See FW update to 41.3A.2.24.. it looks like my device is running cooler now..

Charging is cooler and about 1.5h from 30% to 90% cooler and more streamlined

Ok, over this latest update 41.3A.2.24, phone charges ok, ok rate of discharge, new problem.. random shutdowns :) thanks Sony, u da best!
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have some good news too

By

- updating Google play services

- turn off Google feed on Xperia home

- disable keep wifi always on during sleep

My battery drain has been fixed somewhat

Which is 4% drain overnight
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
Did you update to to the latest official GP services or still on beta 11.9.51 ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
As of now i am still on beta,
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
Yah, me too, so did you update your fw, To the latest one? And did you try to disable Google now altogether from Xperia Home?

Now it looks like the major battery draining problem is the constant web checking of background Android Services.. looks like Doze and Sleep are not working for important Google services and thus the device wont go to sleep.

The worst thing is that I don't think Sony has anything to do with it so it's only on Google, that's bad news, they never clean after them, they want google services allways active
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yup, i am on the latest oreo fw,

I disabled the google feed on xperia home but leave google now assistant / on tap enabled

- i disabled background activity for most Instant messaging app

- all of this Helps :)

- If sony increase battery capacity for its future premium flagships and adapt the bezel-less design, i will surely buy Sony
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
Hope they won't go Samsung/ LG way and stay in the RAZOR relam, with bezels but bigger speakers, 1080 screens, better battery life, lower heat and drainage
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
So, that didn't work, none of it, I had a wipe cache and everything went stock, all the problems back..

1.I'm going to try again, factory reset, disable all of the services and see if that's the problem.

2.If not working still, I'll try to keep only xperia apps and as little Google apps as possible.

In any case after Christmas I'll take my xz to the doctor, just in case, need another opinion
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Try disabling movie creator too

- disable Google feed on Xperia home

- go to wifi settings and select keep wifi on only when plugged in

- disable Facebook , messenger , Instagram , Twitter (anything other than the ones mentioned is safe to use)

- go to play store and download + use wakelock detector lite

- if you have any instant messaging / social media apps other than the ones stated , try disable their background activity

- disable background activity for Google play services

- update Google play services to latest beta

- make there are no recent apps running when phone is on sleep mode

- disable background activity for one drive and Google photos
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sign0ff:
Will try
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] snake218:
Getting 2% drain on 8hrs. In my case i don't use xperia services or most Google apps. Running latest Oreo fw, location services disabled, wifi on, even on sleep.

Debloated most gapps (hangouts, goggle movies, Google docs, sheets, etc), Debloated xperia trash like lounge, what is new, etc. disable most xperia services (backup, xperia actions, tips, support). Suggest you, find and delete all Facebook apps trash too (from what i recall, there are too Facebook apps, installed in no common locations, i mean, there aren't in system/app, or system/priv-app), i use Google services drain fix and disabled background data. All that gets you a 1% hour drain rate at night.

So how i get 2% in 8 hours? The biggest problem apps were "home network", (in my case "nfc" too, and since i don't use it...) and mostly "my xperia". You can freeze these apps and they continue to run in background, you had to delete them. It's been 2 days since I removed this, no problems so far. (to remove apps, use a root explorer and delete app folder or, use titanium backup, make a backup of the app if you wish, and remove it). TB is your friend..

Great tips. Using them too.

Just an observation, with the withelist file, you disable two needed apps, conversations (this is the sms app) and sound enchantment. You can add those to whielist or i suggest enabled them in battery saver exceptions.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] minolo88:
I have no drain battery issues Xperia XZ "patch may"

I bought my sony xperia xz in january 2018 and I have neveer had battery drain issues or overheating problems. I think the problems of battery drain have a Solution.

1. Put off "ok Google", remove widget Google in home and every Google service in background.

2.enable "data saving" mode in setting or toggle.

3.Disable "data backgroung" in every single app when is possible

4. Disable all notification in app setting when they're not necessary

5.Disable push mail (manual is better) and auto sync when is not necessary

6. Enable GPS in battery save mode or disable when it isn't necessary and don't give GPS autorization when is not necessary app for app.

7. Check in each internal setup's app the possibility in Save the battery.

excuse me For my band english

I ever do 5/6 hours in display time (SOT)!!

Battery procentage and draining

My device doesn't pass the 20 hour mark in idle. Fully charged. But yet I read people are getting 24 hours and some percentage to spare. How? I've turned off background use on many apps and restricted access to the same.

My Z3 could last almost 2 days, with regular use.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorinjin:
Let me start by saying I am a new user (and, trying to be a responsible one...). I have spent several hours reading threads, etc., but I think I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm not totally sure where to start. Hopefully, I can get a little guidance to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Here's my situation. My Nexus had become unusable, taking up to 30 seconds to respond to a touch. After considerable research, and realizing it was no longer supported, I decided root it and improve performance.

Recently, I added back one of the apps that I had purchased, only to find it was the free (restricted) version. After more searching, I decided to install a modded Google Play Store. It will not transfer to the sys partition. Apparently, because there is too little space there. Apps2Rom is reporting 7.04 MB free space. I have managed to get it to run, but it gives an error message saying "No internet connection", even though I am able to use my browser.

So, I am trying to delete unneeded apps from the sys partition, or move them to the SD partition. How do I know which ones can I safely move or delete? I have installed very few apps since I rooted it. Most of the ones listed came with the root installation. And, can I delete the odex files?

Here is my configuration:

Nexus 7 (2012) Wifi, Grouper.

Android 4.4.4

Kernel 3.1.10

Rooted A few weeks ago, I rooted my Nexus using TWRP.

Tools installed:

SuperSU

Root Explorer

ES File Explorer

Lucky Patcher

Freedom

Apps2Rom

I'd appreciate any leads or guidance. Thanks!

My issues is when the I first turn on the car the camera works however when you put it into reverse again you just get a black screen.

Any idea's? MTKNAVI tell me that the Head Unit has native can bus support so it could be a software bug? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I've been trying to root my Huawei P8 on Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0.3 on Build B337 (GRA-L09C33B337)

The problem is that I cannot find a root guide for EMUI 4.0.3, the closest guide I can find is for 4.0.1 and I have no idea if it will work smoothly or not. Could someone tell me if this guide (hidden link below) is going to work? If not, is there any working guide out there?

Miui 9 is nougat but seeing as we are now on oreo I doubt anyone will bother & seeing as they haven't released the source code I doubt you will see it on this device unless someone can adapt it from another device but from my point of view it's not worth it as it's already outdated

[Magisk] hopkinskong:
Hi,

We can hide root from specific applications by selecting them in magisk manager, however, it does not work well on my banking application.

After reverse engineering my banking application, i found that it was checking another binary in /system/xbin/. Is it possible to hide that binary file as well?

Can I write a module to achieve it? Or I need to modify the magisk hide source and recompile it?

Thanks.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
What binary is it detecting? You can make a Magisk module to mount whatever binary it is to /system/xbin and then it should be hidden by MagiskHide.
[Magisk] hopkinskong:
/system/xbin/which

Weird, huh?

Well, obviously /system/xbin/which is linked to busybox, so I think hiding the whole busybox should be better.

Do you mean by making a magisk module with that file, magisk hide will automatically hide the module (and hence the files inside the module)? I wonder doing this with busybox is a bit weird...
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
In that case it should be easy... Uninstall whatever busybox you currently have and install the one from the Magisk Manager Downloads.
