[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
a havey debloated rom or stock rom with snappatch i mean,a normal stock with all apps are pre-installed size is 2.5gb and turbo debloated rom is just 1gb. This is rule less app in background =more battery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
I hear you but im talking about people who are using stock,

some people claim they get 6hrs+ of screen time and complain about it (which means they are used to even more!) and i still didnt even get to 3hrs screen time and im already 29%

my screen time is 2:56 sitting on 29%

this is not normal what so ever even concidering it being a stock rom.

any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
Sounds more laughable, maybe your battery is uncallibrated, or get damaged, charge your phone to 100% and update your rom to. 179 and format factory the phone, if this isn't fix your problem maybe your battery health isn't good, or you can unlock your phone and flash a custom rom.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
I dont have .179 available in my country im from Israel, altough I would love to flash it.

battery is caliberated I emptyed it and recharged to 100% on a straight run while phone is off.

it is factory reseted already.

I think I should try the .179 but I just dont know which one to choose as my region doesnt have it out yet
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
Use (MEA) Verson i personally use this.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
which is which market on xperifirm?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
Customize MEA verson.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
cant find it in xperifirm using flashtool
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
Costomized ce1.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
may I ask why specifically this one?

and whats the difference between firmware regions?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
Because this verson have working finger print and it not only for a country or carrier. Its for centeral Europe. But works for me. In midle asia.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
ive read some where that flashing a firmware from different country could void warranty...

Israel is middle east (eastern europe) will that still work though? sorry im just afraid of bricking my device or voiding warranty
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ultyrunner:
I am now rooted but remained unrooted stock for months and had excellent battery. My AccuBattery stats (a good app you might want to install to tell you what's using your battery) have been similar before and after rooting and customizing. Avg battery use is less than 8% drain screen on and about 1.5% drain when off, or estimates of well over 12h screen on for a full charge cycle. Best battery I've ever had with an Android phone (notwithstanding other issues with this phone that I don't like).

However, if you're using a lot of the Sony bloatware like AVG, that's probably your first clue. Unless you really need a feature one of the apps provides, I'd stay away from them like the plague. You can still disable many of them without rooting, totally depends. Go to Apps, and show system and then see which ones you can disable, or at least force stop (which will likely start again on the next boot).

Also, battery calibration was debunked as pure myth by Google Android engineers themselves ages ago. It simply doesn't make a difference.

I was reading that it might also be your SD card?? I deleted Android apps from SD card right now and currently testing.

It is fine here i can get 9-10 hrs of SOT

My rom - my mod - my tweeks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
I dont wanna root.

Plus you also got 6 hours of phone idle that used 8%

Whicn is 1.3% per hour still no good.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ultyrunner:
Really? 1-ish% per hour on idle is actually decent across Android devices. That's over 3 days standby. What, exactly, are you expecting, particularly if you aren't rooted and don't run a custom ROM or kernel?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
i dont know about you but i remember my z2 was a beast, my z5 compact was awesome, I once left it in the car in the glove box with about 70% I forgot about it for about a week even a day or 2 more and came back at it was 18% after about 8 days it lost only 52% so yah.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ultyrunner:
Almost unheard of example notwithstanding, I'd suggest that 'needing' it to last days on end on standby / when you've forgotten it in your glovebox, really doesn't matter. The main issue for most people is what kind of life they get when actually using the device. For the most part if people aren't going to use it for days on end, they'd turn it off. But hey, if this is your criteria for battery life, good luck with that.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
no no its not what I meant, i meant that phone idle on that phone didnt take much battery as much as this phone,

which gets me to my point exactly, if phone on idle uses more battery, means lower battery life overall, so lets say im getting 5 hours of battery life, if only phone idle takes little battery like my old phone, I could easily get to 7 hours of use, understand my point? phone idle does have an impact after all.

and no its not a way to measure battery life to leave your phone idle for days XD im just making a point here.

whats weird though, if i use my phone for 6 straight hours, and if i keep it idle and use it occasionally I get still 6 hours, so my point here, battery life is actually good when using it, but it could last longer if phone idle was not consuming much battery, think of it this way, which is better? leaving your device in your pocket while you are in a classroom, for 3 hours, then pick the device up and see you lost 5%, while it should go only 1%.

I have 3-4 classes a day im losing 15-20% on idle while I should lose about 4-5%, these 15% that went to waste, could come in handy when im using the device which improves the battery life quite a good amount, see my point?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ultyrunner:
Yeah, I get that excessive idle is a problem. It's just that the example of < 1.5% an hour isn't really excessive as it still would seem to be in the 'normal' range. In my experience (mostly with non-Sony handsets, as the XZ premium is my first and last), anything even close to 1% an hour is standard to good. My average stats on this phone are 7.9% screen on and about 1.7% screen off per hour. However, I stream a lot of music while working and driving, so my screen off battery drain is higher, not completely idle. If I didn't stream music I suspect I'd average about 1%.

In your case though, again, I'd get a good battery app (not stock battery in settings) and get a good look at what's consuming it. Given that Android optimizes background app battery consumption pretty well, some of the manufacturer bloat could be to blame.
[Magisk] RRFERA:
Hi Guys!

I've been following the topic about the TEZ app and I have a similar problem with Santander app. When I used the Android N with SuperSU, Santander has worked and still works today in my old S7. When I upgraded my Note 8 for Android Oreo the application didn't work anymore, not even open. I've tried a couple of 5 custom rom and none worked.

Last week I read the topic about TEZ and removed phone permission to the google phone play services and Santander ran until yesterday, but I lost the root in Magisk and restarted the Note 8 and the Santander didn't open more. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Magisk and Santander and not solved.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Magisk] Dreamer(3MF):
I'll Try To Make a Module For Santander App Like Tez Hider But I Need Firstly To Get the Following

- Full Logcat

- A Copy Of App
[Magisk] RRFERA:
Thanks! But I dont know how to do full logcat and copy app. Can you help me?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I've tested the UK app, and all I need to do for it to start is to add it to the Hide list. Nothing else... If I don't, it complains about root and doesn't start. It looks like a very simple root detection.
[Magisk] RRFERA:
I did it and not solve! Santander is add to the Hide list in Magisk!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I got that, all I'm saying is that it's possible to hide root from the app... And that the root detection doesn't seem that sophisticated.

There might be something about your ROM that you're using. Do you pass SafetyNet, and does all checks in Rootbeer Sample return ok if you add it to the Hide list?
[Magisk] Dreamer(3MF):
As For Logcat, Send The Full Logcat Of Santander Via One Of The Following Methods

-----> Download Terminal Emulator From PlayStore & Write

logcat | grep santander > log.txt

-----> Download Logcat Extreme (Or Catlog) From PlayStore

-----> Write

adb logcat -d > log.txt

For ADB

As For Santander App, Send Its Link On Google PlayStore

- Did You Install BusyBox/Xposed? And If So, Disable/Uninstall BusyBox/Xposed --> Reboot

- Check The SafetyNet From Magisk Manager, PlayStore Device Certification Status & Netflix From PlayStore
[Magisk] RRFERA:
I have same problems to logcat....

See the pic

Santander app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.santander.app

I dont have BusyBox and Xposed, have SafetyNet green, and my google play is not certificated (i dont know how!).
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I can't get that one to trigger at all... And I can't test much since I'm not a customer.

According to Rootbeer you do have busybox, so maybe it comes with the ROM. Check for that.

And, since the app is asking for phone permissions, have you also added the phone to the Hide list? That works for some of these apps...
[Magisk] RRFERA:
I dont understand, caus Rootbeer show busybox binary X.

And phone is add ti the Hide list.

I dont know why my Note 8 have play store uncertified.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That means that Rootbeer is detecting busybox. All the green check marks mean that that particular sign of your device being rooted was not found.

If you can pass SafetyNet, clear data for the Play Store and possibly reboot. After that the status should be certified, but it might take a while for it to show.
[Magisk] RRFERA:

A) For Enabling ADB Debugging On Your Device

To use adb with a device connected over USB, you must enable USB debugging in the device system settings, under Developer options.
On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom.
On some devices, the Developer options screen might be located or named differently.
You can now connect your device with USB. You can verify that your device is connected by executing adb devices from the android_sdk/platform-tools/ directory. If connected, you'll see the device name listed as a "device".

B) Kindly Check Also This Post https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/play-store-visa-device-certified-custom-t3769069/post76595671

C) Send A Screenshots Of The Installed Magisk Modules From Magisk Manager, A ScreenShot Of The Main Interface Of Magisk Manager After Checking The SafetyNet & Also A Screenshots Of The Installed Apps From Settings-->Apps

D) What About Your Phone Model, The Flashed Rom & The Android Version?
[Magisk] RRFERA:
Hi friends! Show screenshots!

My phone is Note 8 with EchoeRom v2, android 8.0.0. And now my playstore is certificated!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Have you checked if the ROM includes busybox by default? Check with the developer, or you could just try to run it... In a terminal emulator, just type busybox (it's possible you need to run su first) and see if you get a result.
[Magisk] RRFERA:
Look the screenshot my friend!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
So yes, the ROM comes with busybox included.

I haven't checked your log (it's no fun reading logs on a phone), so I don't know if there's anything in there about the app triggering because of that. But, it's certainly a possibility

You could try a different ROM that doesn't include busybox. If you then do need busybox, the best option is to install the busybox Magisk module from the Manager Downloads. That won't be detected.
[Magisk] RRFERA:
I tried Dr Ketan, Deluxe and NoName roms and all have the same problem!

Hello my friend!

First, thank you very much for your attention and help!

I did all the procedures indicated and unfortunately didn't work, Santander does not work.

See screenshots.
[Magisk] sanguinesaintly:
I'm having problems today too. It won't recognise my account ID - something new is going on I think.

Edit

And now it's working after restoring it from Titanium. No changes to Adguard or magisk.
[Magisk] tyler19820201:
Make sure magisk manager has been hidden itself

Make sure ALL the apps wich requires root has been removed or hidden by magisk

Make sure you are installing santander app correctly. 1 Remove Magisk completely. 2.Install Santander & register with your device Do not forget give permission in All-in-one toolbox!!. 3. Install Magisk from TWRP. 4 Do not launch the app until Magisk has not been set and updated! 5 After Magisk update and set up restart your phone again before you would try log in again.

Make sure the santander app has permission to start with the phone together and running in the background. This is very important!! I am using All-In-One Toolbox and three banking apps requires this permission regarding my last experience: LLoyds, Halifax, Santander. What i was experiencing if you disable this permission the banking app will not launch and detecting root even if it was working fine before. I do not know why is it like that but this is how it works for me.

Make sure AdGuard is working while you try to log in

Make sure app chache deleted and restart your phone to TWRP and do a chache&dalvik wipe also

Make sure you are using a "suitable" ROM, if you are not using the official OS, wich came with your phone as factory set.

I am using OP3T with TWRP and Los 8.1 Android and it works for me

That is all i can say
[Magisk] ahac85:
Is having webserver enabled necessary? Whats does webserver enabled do?
[Magisk] habylab:
I'm having a lot of my banking apps flag up security errors and kicking me out, but when I check safety net it is passing. Anyone else have this? This is on Canary 18112.
[Magisk] tyler19820201:
I was updating today to LOS 16.0 so Android 9.0 is on on my OP3T with 20190312 nightly version and micro gapps. Magisk 18.0 and NOT 18.1. Adguard is on and i have not got any problem with all my banking apps. Working well all of them. Also GPay has been succesfully tested in the store, paying was ok with it.
[Magisk] PapaDomPhD:
Anyone having issues on the latest version? Before updating it was working fine with the hosts sites, however now it instantly finds root. I've tried a couple of things but ultimately went back to a backed up version I had.
[Magisk] sanguinesaintly:
Sometimes that happens. I restore app and data from a Titanium Backup TiBkp file, and although it sometimes takes a couple of tries, that fixes it for me.
[Magisk] PapaDomPhD:
I've had to do that when I want to restore to a previous version and it works, but with the newest version (4.4) there's no way I can get it to work. Am I just not trying hard enough or are there new measures in place?
[Magisk] sanguinesaintly:
I find that I might have to restore the app+data, then the app, then the data, all one after the other from the locally saved TiBkp file. I also force close and wipe data from the app first.
[Magisk] dead0:
seems the hosts files with magisk hide no longer works with v4.4, v4.3 still works

[Magisk] Stu-Bro:
My phone is a rooted Nexus 5X (not custom rom) with the previous Santander app installed which worked fine.

I have now installed Magisk 19.0 and Magisk Manager 7.1.1 and in the "settings menu" hid Magisk. (app is also ticked in "Magisk Hide")

Then I cleared the apps cache before updating it and it works.
[Magisk] mangelkool:
Hi, I still having problems with Santander app. I was using the Pixel Experience (April Update) on MiA1 with Magisk v19.2 and Viper4FX module for audio improvement that was recognize a malicious suspect from Play Protect. It only happens with "Santander" app. I have "Santander Way" (for credit cards) this one works fine.

1 - I tried all those step to repacked magisk, use magisk hide, clear cache app and force stop app.

2 - So I decided to remove Viper. Play Protect is OK but the problem still.

3 - I tried previous versions of Santander (last update is 8.7). I tried 8.6 and 8.5 with no luck.

3 - So I decided to uninstall Magisk and for my surprise, the problem still there.

4 - Today I updated Pixel Experience for May Update.

5 - In May Update, tried all the previous version that I mension on nº3, with no luck.

I exhausted all possibilities that is in my mind. Please, could anyone help me in another procedure? I appreciate.
[Magisk] crazijoe:
I've checked santander app, for instance. Its built up to sdk 26 compatibility. Android pie is 28. I don't think it will work, and I don't think its rooting that's causing all the trouble. Unless we can somehow spoof or emulate api 26, it won't work properly.
[Magisk] habylab:
It works fine on my partners Pie, rooted with Magisk, OnePlus 3.

Since TCPDUMP in AdAway did not show access to any of these sites, I do not think that the blocking mechanism was the problem.

I need help, the santander app opens but now to enable the ID you have to access the Santander ID on the start screen and it asks to login the first time and then it would have to go to the QR code sncanner options but every time I open the application with ID Santander he asks to log in and had done before.

Has anyone ever experienced this? I am in PE with magisk 20.1. And root not detected on Rootbeer
[Magisk] Seanie280672:
I managed to get the app working using Magisk, tried nearly everything in this thread, adaway etc, nothing was working, so I thought id have a play around with the magisk app, I found the hide apps feature and hid TSB and santander app in there, that worked for TSB but not Santander, so I cleared all the data and cache and then uninstalled the Santander app, I then found the repack and rename feature for Magisk which I just simply renamed to Manager, rebooted my phone and then reinstalled the Santander app which worked fine after that, ive downloaded root checker and its showing root is working fine, ive tried various reboots and the Santander app is still working fine.

Strangly enough, my knox is showing 0x0 so its not been tripped, however apps like Samsung Health wont lauch as they can still detect the root, im using the stock rom, the only things that have chaged is TWRP rec has been added and rooted.
[Magisk] originalul:
PLEASE guys tell me which domains should I block in AdAway systemless for the "BTpay" application, because I can't even manage the "webserver" function. I think it resembles the applications of the bank in the UK: "Santander". I had managed to use my bank application with Magisk hide + Selinux permissive + Magack repacked until recently when I had to update to the latest version. as soon as it detects root when the Device Id is started, the ID is transmitted to them and it puts me in the black list (to this I have a solution: I call them and I get them out of that list, or use DeviceChanger to generate a new ID). this is the link to the application (it does not require an account because in the first seconds after opening it will detect the root or display an error message):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.btrl.pay

If anyone wants to inspect and helping me what changes the new version has brought in the face of an old one which for my phone was functional with MagiskHide, I can send the previous version of "ro.btrl.pay.apk"
[Magisk] tr0ubles0me:
No need to use AdAway, just clone Santander UK in a sandbox environment with an app called Island. I don't think you would even need MagiskHide by doing it in this way, I've got it hidden from my previous attempts anyway.
[Magisk] originalul:
I installed the program ISLAND..I have cloned the application, but I do not know what to do next. Does your bank's application work with the latest version of the application without detecting the root?
[Magisk] tr0ubles0me:
When I cloned the app, another Santander icon appeared on my screen and it has a small emblem that resembles a briefcase, indicating that it is using the work profile of your Android OS. You should have it in your app drawer as well. Just start the Santander app from it, not from the original icon.

I've got the latest version of Santander Mobile Banking UK, and the latest version of Island, which I believe is listed on Play Store as an early access app.
