Mobile Radio Killing Battery Lollipop - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Since going to Lollipop (not sure if was present since 5.0.2 too) my battery life has been pathetic compared to before. Currently i am on 5.1.1 and i struggle to get a day use out of the phone (i ALWAYS have it on STAMINA mode). However previously i would get 2 days use out of my phone easy with 6 hours SOT. Im wondering is it worth going back to 5.0.2 or should i just go back to kitkat and if so, how? I downloaded the firmware but not sure how to get my phone into recovery mode. My phone is stock, i have tried turning phone with volume button down but doesnt work.
Btw my usage has not been any different, don't have facebook, use my phone for Whatsapp, web browsing, music and thats about it
So basically should i go back to 5.0.2 or KK is the question? what are your guys experiences.

Flash Xposed, use Mobile Radio Active Fix module. Disable fast dormancy, too, for good measure.
Or wait for 6.0.

Does the fix actually work? I thought it just masked/hid it?

Try another 5.1.1 rom ?

I can't tell yet, not enough time has passed since I installed it.

If battery life is your priority then go back to kitkat. It will last longer than lollipop.

May have to.
5.0.2 does seem better already but not as good as KK. However I'm wondering do all apps still support KK and work as normal?

Most should. Check out the apps on Google Play and it will have what android versions are supported.

Having 5.0.2 installed for a few days now battery life does seem to be improved abit however it still doesn't keep on going like KK. Having said that, android M should be released soon (hopefully) so may wait for that

Google only recently acknowledged the Mobile Radio Active bug on Lollipop, on the 15th of Sept I believe they finally assigned a dev to look into it. By the time it's fixed I suppose Android M will be out, which is also affected but apparently they fixed it in recent updates.

I thought they were supposed to address the issue in android M

They are, but with the amount of anger on the bug tracker they assigned a dev for Lollipop as well, I think its the same person infact.

I thought they recognised the problem back in May or something? I think i may just hold out for Android M 6.0 but it is really frustrating to know every Lollipop rom/software has that bug.

The bug report was filed long back but was not officially recognized/accepted on Lollipop till mid Sept.

Okay after several days on 5.0.2 my battery is no better it still is a joke, going to revert to KK.

after you reverted to 5.0.2 did you go into recovery and clear cache and dalvik? Then allow a week to settle down?

Bug has been there from 5.0.x to 5.1.x. I'm very disappointed that Sony hasn't done something about it.

Nordic (NEE) 4.4 Kitkat is now out!

I am starting this thread so us Nordic users can discuss anything about the latest update 4.4 once it is out.
Hopefully we will see it soon!

No - And it´s getting a bit frustrating i might add.
Check out Sammobile - It has become increasingly & annoyingly difficult to swing a dead cat around you without hitting obscure carrier specific KitKat updates left & right.
But 5 entire nordic countries?? Ohh - No.
We ought to contact Amnesty International and get "Update With holding" registered as an official form of torture. :silly:
At the very least it might have been usefull as an "Improved interrogation technique" at Guantanamo! :crying:

I personally don't see any point in upgrading to KitKat as per now as it messes up more stuff than it actually "fix". NO move to SDcard support, battery drain for no apparent reason, locked bootloader and so on.
Correct me if I am wrong...
Seems like we are forgotten by sammy. Kitkat came in january and now 3 months later still nothing. Out last update was in december. lol.
I dont really need kitkat, but i need samsung to support my phone and now its been a lot of new fw's and nothing to NEE...
I just run the Polish version, works fine, except it's a battery hog.
i'm wondering why it takes 3-4 month to roll-out update for all regions !!!
really why ?

Just did upgrade via OTA. Now running N9005XXUENC2. Build number KOT49H.N9005XXUENC2. Kernel 3.4.0-636608.
As expected not much have changed. Didn't do factory reset yet, i guess that is recommended? How about all the settings and saved games etc, those should be backed up?

You can try going without a reset - if there are no problems then you have no need to wipe the phone. If you have issues or sudden battery drain or something then do a reset. Apps and saved games can be backed up with Titanium Backup if you are rooted or I use Helium which works without root. Not sure if it saves settings - I try to never restore settings if I go to a different version so I haven't tested this.
I'm gonna do a factory reset 3 times as I did after the MJ7 disaster, it really helped with my battery life (not alot but a little).
I could usually squeeze out 6,7 hours of screen time on 10% this pales in comparison to MJ3 but I'll write here once I have some results.

Just updated to 4.4.2 this morning and was disappointed that the Nexus photo editor wasn't in this update. Not sure if this has been discussed somewhere but is there a way to "easily" get it on my phone without rooting or anything?

Things missing and not working in Lolipop Roms.....

So I recently got my LG G3 and love it. I immediately rooted and flashed a Lolipop rom. I am making this thread in hopes of figuring out a few features that I am missing or someone else has already discovered.
1. How do you get the long button press on the back button to kill apps (I have it enabled in developer console but it does nothing. Tried a few 3rd party apps too. Still nothing)
2. Has anyone created or modified the xposed framwork to work on lolipop yet?
3. Is there a way to have a hard button for the camera built into the rom? (Currently now I have a app that allows me to bind it. I have it set to double tapping the down button to open the camera)
Thanks,
Alan
Belongs in q&a section.... But anyways.
1. Unless there is a ROM that has it built in then no..I haven't seen it
2.No
3. No not that I've seen in lollipop.

cm and slimrom.I shouldn't buy D850....No rom...and multirom support.
ATT still no update to me.And no tot leaked.So no new modem..
I continue to have a problem with the lock screen freezing
When the phone sleeps, the screen will wake up , but I cannot swipe up to use the phone
This happens with several of the lp ROMs. Any suggestions? I do not have a password setup on the lock screen.
Thanks.

There is ROM support and the 2 custom ROMs you are using prove that. D850 has only had the ability for custom ROMs for about 4 months so you need to give it time.
As far as AT&T update, are you referring to Lollipop? You need to be on stock KK to get the OTA. Stock Lollipop now has a means to root and use TWRP. Go to the LOUNGE in the general section to find out more.

Xposed
Xposed framework is also available it's in alpha or beta phase can't remember which but it seems very stable on my phone also its not like the traditional xposed installer you have to flash a zip file then install xposed installer apk. Official thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
I also have problems with 5ghz WiFi bands sometimes they show up sometimes they don't typically they aren't there though.

Is anybody still using Z3 on KitKat 4.4.4?

Like in the topic.
In call volume is the main concern.
Thanks
I'm still on KitKat... refused the Lollipop update. No issues with in call volume... definitely loud enough.
Same here. Never was a fan of lollipop's look. Still snappy since i got it first few weeks it came out. Battery still strong. No probs with in call volume either. Notification volume is louder from what i read also.
As it turns out, speed difference and real world performance is nil if any. Looking back, kk may be the windows xp version of android, light and quick vs heavier fancier more features of newer versions to come.
Check it out!

Hi guys, just bought a 6653, i'am about to root it via firmware downgrade, and wonder, after root, should i flash :
the last KK 4.4 23.0.1.A.5.77
OR GO FOR
the last LP 5.1.1 23.4.A.0.546
Does it really worth upgrading to 5.1.1?
Thanks for your answers, cheers
Iam also still on rooted KK, runs perfectly with Greenify and Amplify. Up to 8h DOT with 70% Brightness on 3 Days.
Never change a running System.

I downgraded after trying lollipop. My reception is 100% worse at home and also got the mobile radio active bug when out and about on data on both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1. Shame, because otherwise the OS is really slick and smooth. Oh well.

Lollipop was worse. I tried fullwipe installation of 5.1.1 but still had those issues mentioned. When I downgraded I had an old TWRP backup so I just deleted everything but storage in TWRP and restored the backup and it seems to be fine for me. Though flashing an official FTF 4.4.4 might be better to just make sure but I'm a bit too lazy for that right now lol.
Im on 4.4.4
Love it. But I would like to try 5.1.1 on my D6616... Can't find a pre_rooted flashable.zip though.

I just downgrade my Z3 from LP 5.1.1 to KK 4.4.4. Yes, use that method from that link. But be extra cautious while using the Flashtool to downgrade to KK 4.4.4. REMEMBER to WIPE App Info, Cache and User Data at the top right of Flashtool. I forgot about it and my phone went to Bootloop problem. Had a hard time on figuring out on how to stop the bootloop. If anyone forget about it and went to bootloop, just totally switch off the Z3 by pressing power + up vol together. Then run Flashtool again. This time round don't mind about USB Debugging etc cause you cant go in anyway.
Almost 3 weeks on Kitkat 23.0.1..5.77
Its very fast and smooth, wonder if LP would give me any improvement (or disadvantage) ?
I'm also back on KK after 5.0 and 5.1 stints. I had all the classic problems associated with Lollipop whereas KK is rock solid.

Can't never get into deep sleep

Hi everyone, i'm in trouble with deep sleep. I'm on a G920i (VIVO-BRAZIL) and i can't get into deep sleep. I'm using Xtrestolite with UNIBASE Kernel, rooted with CF Root and flashed SuperSU, and my cellphone never get into deep sleep. I've already tried to use DeepSleep(zip) fix patch by chainfire, typed the code into ADB/Shell, used stock, custom recovery...anything and nothing! Still stuck in 400mhz..
Looking at BetterBattery Stats (Kernel Wakelock), on top i have GPSD, second GPS, third Ili_pm_wlock, fourth, 13930000.decon.fb, fifth PoewerManagerService.Display, sixth PowerManagerService.WakeLocks, seventh ssp_wake_lock. My guess about this wakelocks is, I have to desable all fuctions to get into deep sleep? Like GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc?
Second guess, what to do? Any procedure that you recommend to me?
Thank you for helping!
I'm also on Vivo-Brazil G920i, but I'm fully stock and I have the same issues.

gpsd (standard battery meter on android) and cellgeofenced (as GSAM battery monitor shows) are the biggest offenders even on stock. maybe it`s a hardware issue IDK
I have the same issues with my Galaxy S6. My was bought unlocked in brazil from the retailer "Submarino". Since the first day I realized that the battery was draining in the speed of the light.
I used the CPU Spy Reloaded and discovered that the phone never enter in Deep Sleep mode.
Tryied flashing a stock indian 5.1.1 ROM, swipping cache, but the problem never get definitively solved.
Now there are just two possible solutions to me: asking Samsung for a refound, or waiting hopefully for an update.
I refuse to root or use a custom ROM because I don't want the warranty to be voided.
I used some apps trying to find a solution, but none could help me in this case.
Do you solved your problem? What did you do?
Cheers!!!

I am also on india 5.1.1 (vivo - brazil) and got an OTA last week. This OTA (build COGA) solved my deep sleep issue. I was going crazy.
Check for a software update.
I am already using the same build, but the problem still unsolved for me.
I will sell this piece of [email protected] and buy another smartphone.
The warranty won't solve the problem.

The truth is: samsung sells pretty good hardware pieces with the worst software of all.
My battery is working the worst way as possible. Overnight the cellphone spent 25% of battery charge with everything closed, wifi and 4g both disabled. Only buy a Galaxy S6 if you want to root the device.

Okay, like how did you get to that point, and how can I do the same?
Is there any real advantage to running MM instead of LP?
I'd probably lose the ability to install ViPER4Android if I went to MM and that would not be good, so there would have to be solid advantages to having MM.

Doze to give you better battery management , a lot of apps now are only compatible with lollipop and up.
But its your choice if you are happy with JB you can stick with it.

Hello, I am thinking of getting this phone but I'm worried about not being able to update to 6.0. I currently have the OnePlus One and I'm on 6.0 and I love all the new features. To get M working on this do I have to simply, unlock the bootloader, root the phone, install custom recovery (TWRP) and then download the rom + gapps to make it work? That is the standard process for other phones, I just want to make sure I won't have any issues before I buy the phone.
Thanks for your help in advance.

salam
i do B326 to B511 all thing are good but i see 2 notes:
1 - i don't find my explorer internet .
2- i don't find my loupe.
If you want to try MM on Mate 7, you start with a standard phone. Stock recovery etc. Just drop the genuine Huawei update or stock ROM into the dload folder on SD card and start update from the OS running normally. Can also start update in recovery mode.
Have to be very careful to only use an update or ROM that is compatible though. If you use the wrong one it bricks the OS. I think differences in CUST folder, maybe partition sizes and such.

I would recommend getting the phone, but still sticking with the OP1 for a while, as you will definitely not appreciate EMUI. There's this really awesome guy working on getting Cyanogenmod 13 running on the device. He just made a massive breakthrough with getting GPU drivers running, so it can be anything from a few more days to weeks before we have a stable-enough build.
Check out his thread for more details and updates.
