[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdope16:
Hello two week ago I bought brand new Xperia Z5 E6633 Dual Sim

The problem is:

- Phone overheats too much it goes 60-65c while playing any game.

- CarX Drift Racing <- This game starts lagging in 5-10 mins of gameplay, FPS drops to 20-25, then it responds again, in few seconds FPS drops again..

- Battery drain.. It lasts few hours on Games/Camera

Firmware details:

7.1.1 Stock (Reflashed)

OS is optimized, every useless app is disabled, Background apps limit are set to: No background apps

BN: 32.4.A.1.54 [Reg: CE]

I went to local service and they just flashed Lollipop, told me that problem was fixed also they compared to other same device.

But when I got it in my hands OS was laggy when scrooling, Apps took 10 secs to open so I reflashed Stock 7.1.1 with Flashtool

I Did cleanflash.

I know what could be the problem.

(SRY for BAD ENGLISH)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdope16:
I know that Snapdragon 810 usually overheats but after watching few Gaming Performance videos about Z5

All the games they tested were running smoothly on 60 fps

After 5 game test the phone was 40-45c overheated

I dont have problem about 45-50c but 60-65 is too much even for 810 and you know it.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
There's a category called "Screen lock style" in the Screen lock & passwords section of the phone's settings.

How can I add other screen locks to that list? From my limited experience, if I download another lock screen from the Play Store and enable it, after unlocking my phone with the new lock screen, it still opens the phone to Magazine Unlock, and the newly downloaded lock screen does not appear in the Screen lock style list.

My ultimate goal is to disable Magazine Unlock entirely, because I'm using the Gravity app to unlock my phone.

My phone is rooted. Hoping for a solution that doesn't involve switching ROMs.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] j0hhnyr0tten:
Go to developer options and disable screen lock.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
Hmmm.... are you running the stock ROM? I appreciate the response, but there is no such entry in Developer Options.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] j0hhnyr0tten:
Yes, I am running stock b180 rom. I thought it was in b170 too but not 100% sure. See attached pic.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Disabling screen lock is problematic for me, I believe because of huawei's encryption settings or because I use an sd card for primary storage. Ive googled around and played with a few fixes, but no luck so far..

Fwiw, there is no such thing as replacing your lock screen.. all you're doing is disabling your devices built in security and trusting a third party app, every one of which I've tried basically amounting to adware at best and spyware/malware as the norm. I'd be very careful running those sketchy apps..
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
It appears I looked right passed that, because it's grayed out on my phone. It says, "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage."

I went to Advanced Settings > Security > Device Administrators - and disabled the two apps with access, but I don't know where to go for encryption policy.

Trusted Credentials is also located in Security, but I don't know what entry I'm looking for there either.

Gravity isn't a lock screen, it's an app that wakes your phone, based on movement and tilt, without having to press the power button. I don't care about security. If my phone gets stolen, I'd rather remotely disable it from the Find My Device website than put up with constantly entering passwords and pressing buttons every few minutes. I want to enjoy my phone. I compare it to the concept of having to enter your computer's password every time you pause Netflix or walk to the kitchen and back. The security level is ridiculous. Most would-be thieves aren't going to get anything from my phone before I remotely disable it. I don't use banking apps or store important passwords on the phone. The most they'll get is my contacts list and access to my music.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Do this to disable your lockscreen password, assuming your phone is rooted:

Rename both files (e.g. add .bak to filename) :

/data/system/

gatekeeper.password.key

and

gatekeeper.pattern.key

You can easily do it with TWRP File Manager or any root File Manager.

Then reboot the phone and you should not be prompted for the phone password or pattern.

Don't forget the thanks button if this helped you :) .

You take full responsibility for disabling your phone's lockscreen protection - e.g. losing all your bitcoins hahaha :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Awesome! Got so fed up trying to disable my screen lock, ended up just wiping the phone, lol
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] InfinityXDA:
In the security settings you should be able to clear the encryption policy or credential storage but that does not allow you to get rid of the lockscreen period but what I stated above allows you to clear the password meaning to take away the "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage." Also if you can't find the option above goto backup and reset and reset the system settings you may have to reapply your EMUI theme and your settings but I usually use Next Lock Screen being a suggestion!
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] j0hhnyr0tten:
My lock screen is completely disabled by turning off "screen lock" in the developer settings. That is when i turn off the screen or the phone goes to sleep, i simply tap the power button and i am on my home screen without having to swipe or enter any passwords. i did delete magazine unlock folder, emui folder and theme folder in the system folder of the phone. not sure if that makes a difference though.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
"My lock screen is completely disabled by turning off "screen lock" in the developer settings." isn't possible on my phone because it's grayed out. I don't recall what led up to it getting grayed out.

The solution I posted about renaming files is the only working solution I could come up with for my case.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] j0hhnyr0tten:
I just wiped the phone and re-installed b180 stock from CLS (thanks cls!!). Screen lock toggle is available. I did not setup google account or att transfer at startup. I previously unlocked my phone to use for T-Mobile. On another note, I have been trying to figure out how to get Volte calling on T-Mobile. Under the specs of the phone, it is suppose to support it but there is no setting for it by default. But, i found if i delete the ATT folder in the "cust" partition, the toggle is now in the settings. Haven't tested if it works yet though. Ive been trying to get this phone as close to stock as i can. Ive deleted emui folder, themes folder, watermark folder, magazine unlock folder, cdrom folder, most huwaei apps and all att apps. I feel like the phone is snappier now.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] InfinityXDA:
Above he had the encryption still on therefore he couldn't get rid of the password
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
Those files do not exist on my phone. I am rooted, I have TWRP, and I also have the paid version of ES File Explorer, which is granted root. I did a full search on the drive too, found nothing.

To ensure we're all on the same page, I do not have a lockscreen password. Magazine unlock is a screen you see when you wake your phone, and you simply swipe up, and you're immediately taken to the home screen. I am not attempting to disable a password. I am trying to disable Magazine Unlock. The screen that shows random pics upon waking the phone.

Could you be more specific? I found "Clear credentials," tapped that, no change. I don't know where to look for encryption policy.

Where do I find that?

Me too, but the Magazine wake screen persists.

I was hoping to not have to flash the phone. It may be my only option unless someone else understands how Magazine Unlock still works despite the fact that it's folder has been deleted from the System directory.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Have you tried disabling magazine unlock in the emui theme settings? Perhaps try the stockify theme, free on the play store?

Also, do you use an sd card for default storage?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
I'm using a different theme, have internal storage as default, and still can't just select swipe to unlock (unless I rename files I posted about).
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
I appreciate the response. What you're suggesting does not seem possible on my phone. I see no button to disable Magazine Unlock. Exactly what buttons would I press to do such a thing?

It just replaces Magazine Unlock with another slide-to-unlock screen. No way to shut it off.

No, I do not.

Your typing got a little messed up there at the end ("and still have can't just select"?). Not sure what you're saying, but I have removed the files you suggested, and I still must swipe to get to the home screen. I want to only have to press the power button to wake the phone, and then go directly to home. No swipe.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Corrected to "I'm using a different theme, have internal storage as default, and still can't just select swipe to unlock (unless I rename files I posted about)."

The swipe screen is there for protection in case the phone is in your pocket. I don't think you can avoid it as it's a safety feature.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
I have magazine unlock disabled, no swipe screen at all, thoughall options to disable are still grayed out. I don't recall doing anything special, I'll dig around a bit later.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Under Settings, what does it say for "Lock screen style"?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Was just coming on to post, have it set as 'colorful'. Though it's set as magazine unlock in the emui themes app.. I'd poke around more, but last time I messed around I ended up with a forced pw protected lockscreen, haha
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] j0hhnyr0tten:
Can you just rename the keyguard.apk under system/priv-app? I think magazine unlock is used through this apk. If you rename the apk, you may not be able to use a password to unlock screen either. Or you could try to edit the database file and see if it allows you to use the toggle under developer settings. Its most likely a credential problem that is shading out the option under developer settings. You could always reset phone to allow access to the toggle.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
That actually did get rid of Magazine Unlock, but it also unfortunately disables the Android UI once the phone boots up. I have wallpaper, and the notification bar is visible, but I can't swipe it down. There's no "launcher" or icons or anything. Long-press does nothing.

Had to reboot into TWRP to rename the keyguard apk back to the old name.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Need to look in your system dir.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bradleypariah:
I edited my comment. I got the keyguard.apk renamed back to the old name. I hadn't mounted the System directory from the Mount button before I went into the File manager, so nothing was showing up there.

This is a general discussion thread. You can share your Current setup of Robin, it would be helpful for us to know which ROM can be used as Our daily driver.

_____________________________________________________________

I'm currently using OmniRom's last build with Magisk module cross-breeder lite edition.

It's giving me Quite decent performance and Battery life.

Normally on continuous usage, it lasts almost 5-6 hrs on single charge.

_____________________________________________________________

If anyone getting a better Battery life, don't hesitate to post below.?

Post-Credit: [MENTION=284163]me[/MENTION] ?
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Thanks for sharing, I cannot give screenshots for everything here. I might have them but have to dig into the folder of screenshots but for now here is my battery experience over all.

I have used PA, Carbon and Omni extensively. So everything below is not a ROM review but its battery usage over all with them.

P.S. : For all ROMs, I use Greenify and Doze mode (within ROM, if not available then via NapTime).

PA for me has always been close to stock nothing great maybe a bit better. But because of its roaming issue I stopped using it. And switched to carbon.

Carbon is far better than PA and has very little standby/idle drain but it started giving me a weird 20-25% battery cut off issue and device used to shut down randomly anytime below 25% so I switched to Omni.

Omni has fared pretty well for me. Unlike other ROMs I get consistent battery life i.e. 3-4hrs SOT over a period of 10-15hrs. The ROM seems far more stable and there aren't any random battery drains. Omni sometimes behaves a bit erratic when using new camera apps i.e. first few times it would drain battery a lot but later it works fine. Its the device or ROM I don't know.

For Duo video calls it isn't so great after 30-40mins of call the battery is down by 30% maybe. But that is fine I guess the video call is on data too. So Robin isn't so great for that sort of heavy use in general I guess.

Here is my most heavy use day (on all ROMs) for which 10-12hrs is most the device can sustain.

Morning (for the device) starts at about 6:30-7am.

Its day starts with 96-100%; no matter how much juice it has I make sure I unplug anywhere above 95%.

My usage isn't heavy but I use data(3G/4G) 90% of the time,

Location/GPS is ON for about 40-80mins,

Voice calls ~30-90mins in total, (Most are cellular, 5-10mins VoIP calls)

60-90mins podcast/music, Podcasts which I listen are downloaded before but music is streamed via NewPipe ,

Mail, Twitter, Excel, Pocket app, Camera is used in between randomly.

I don't watch much YouTube on the device maybe a couple of 2-3mins clips, I mostly scroll YouTube to add them to watch later for watching on desktop,

SOT ~3hrs

I have to plug the device by 6-7pm with all that usage. Because by that time its about 15%. And for me Robin at 15% means about 10-15mins of use.

For not so heavy use days the device lasts from 7am to 9pm with SOT of ~3-3.5hrs + voice calls of 30-60mins + 40-60mins GPS/location.

Since Android N I haven't touched 4hrs+ SOT over a period of 10-15hrs of usage sadly.

That only happens if I unplug the device and use it continuously for 4-5hrs reading maybe with no waste in idle drain or data or wifi or push notifs etc. But that isn't a case of regular use for me so I will disregard that.

I have recently started using interactive governors like GlassFish and FairPark but can't say they have helped much. Standby/Idle drain is as low as 1-2% over 4-5hrs.

If you are getting 4hrs+ SOT over a longer charge time of 10-12hrs, I am all ears and want to know what different do you do.
[Nextbit Robin] demeez:
I use Omni with Unicornblood kernel and Hawktail profile in Ex Kernel manager. I also use greenify and naptime. I'd say on average I can get between 3 and 4 hours SOT. On the lower end will be days where I'm out and about a lot so I'm on data, lots of idling, random browsing, reddit, messenger, etc. Usually have spotify running in my car through bluetooth. On the higher end will be days where I'm playing on my phone most of the day, with little screen off time, I can probably push over 4 hours on those days.

Today I've been off the charger for 10 1/2 hours, I have 1 1/2 hours of SOT. I spoke on the phone for about 15 minutes, browsed the internet a bit, some instagram, messaging, etc. and I still have 54% left.
[Nextbit Robin] Luisalejandroqi:
I've tried Paranoid Android and LOS.

With PA the battery on my Robin drains like crazy and I noticed some heat problems as well.

As for LOS, it gives me quite decent battery life but had issues with the power button, the phone struggles to wake sometimes.

Should I try Omni then?
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Sadly there is no perfect ROM every ROM has some issue. The only question is if you can live with that issue.

The only reason for me to stop using PA was it won't work on roaming. But if PA has been stable and battery drain was the only issue try using Greenify and Naptime. The combination of both can drastically bring down your battery drain. And then use some interactive cpu governors aimed for battery life it should bring down drain to as low as 1-2%.

If you are looking for a different better ROM to try then surely try omni, Omni has been great for me so far and has no major issues as such.
[Nextbit Robin] jabashque:
Omni, however, doesn't have Qualcomm's hotplugging solution, so both big cores are always on all the time and draining battery whenever your screen is on. Gandalf also messed something up with the kernel sources and broke NFC, requiring you to flash a kernel from an Omni weekly from around June-ish or July-ish to restore that functionality.

If you're patient enough, javelinanddart and Sultanxda will soon figure out how to fix the wake-on-plug lag in LineageOS. Hopefully, they'll also start on figuring out the power-button-not-waking-device issue afterwards.

EDIT: oops. Though javelinanddart proooobably found what might be causing the power-button-not-waking-device issue? Haven't had it happen on his LOS 15.1 unofficials yet so...
[Nextbit Robin] sfbest23:
I am currently using Lineage 14.1-14.1-20180321 and eagerly awaiting the 'official' release of 15.1. I typically do not update to every weekly build. I usually watch the change logs and update only when the new security patches are released. Provided that update is stable (i.e. fast, everything works, no crashes) I will continue on with that build until the next security patch is released. More often than not, there are no issues, as I have found Lineage to be stable and fast.

I am running non-rooted, and I re-locked my bootloader. As a result, Google Pay is working well, without the use of Magisk.

I run Nova Prime launcher, and do not have a vast amount of apps installed:

Music - Google Play Music, Spotify, Amazon Music

Email and Calendar - Outlook, GMail, Google Calendar

Assistant - Google Assistant

Office Suite - Docs, Sheets, Drive, MS One Drive, Word, Excel, Google Keep, One Note

Camera - Stock lineage OS camera, Snapseed (editing)

Messaging - stock AOSP / Lineage OS messaging app

Video - YouTube, Netflix, Hulu (I only use YouTube to be honest... have the other two because of Chromecasting)

Misc - Google Home, Amazon Kindle

I list all those apps to say that given the relative few apps I use, I have all day battery life, for the most part. I am not a heavy user, but I check email multiple times a day, as well send/receive a LOT of MMS/SMS messages throughout the day. I generally only watch video on my phone (YouTube mostly) at home, and I generally cast it to my TV so that the Chromecast does the heavy lifting.

Overall, I have been very happy with Lineage. I finally settled on Lineage after growing disgruntled with AOSPA. The stock ROM (I gave it a good, honest shot at one point) could not cut it because of the lack of stability, heat issues, Bluetooth issues, and no updates.

I have only run into one issue (on a previous build) where by no doing of my own, the screen went blank on a full battery and would not turn on. I though the phone was essentially bricked. Held down power + volume down for 60 seconds (actually had to do this a few different times) and all was resolved. Still do not know why this happened.

Hopefully this helps someone...

Thank you for replying with so much detail. But a bit of numbers would help in terms of battery life you get from your usage and setup.

Typical phone idle time and SOT. Gives a rough idea of the battery drain in standby.

I am more curious about this. So after flashing LOS you flash back the stock recovery and lock the bootloader? But when you flash back TWRP to install the updated LOS do you lose all your data again or what? Can you tell me the process you follow, I would love to do it but I find backing up and restoring everything for every update is tiresome and a little annoying. Even if one opts to only update for major releases once a month or few months I am not a fan of backup and restore process quite often.
[Nextbit Robin] sfbest23:
I do not have any detailed battery metrics, but I will start tracking this and get back to you.

Regarding your question about re-locking the bootloader... I am still running TWRP, just with a locked bootloader. I did not flash back to the stock recovery. After unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and ROM of choice, it is simply a 'fastboot oem lock' command. I cannot remember off hand, but I do believe that the OS was reset when I did that.

[Nextbit Robin] EAT_CHICKEN:
Do you have /system modified? Or xposed installed? Those will cause safetynet to fail.
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Not using xposed.

Does using EXKM for CPU governors constitute to being a /system modification? Then I guess that would be the cause.
