BTW i am using ProxyDroid over wifi...

q&a?
I hadnt noticed it myself, I will have a look soon though

Same issue here..
Almost 200mb via 3G and 2GB on wifi.
It was done during the 1st week after flashing JB, it did the same after flashing another JB ver.

Hmm I never had this issue...1.5 GB for one month is a lot! Looking at the graph I think some app or data was downloaded in one instance (looking at the vertical leaps). And this was repeated at least 3 times within the month. Judging from the leap sizes the downloaded content was about 150-200 MB?

I am having this issue as well, the difference is that in my phone takes 8-10 megabytes per day. Using the better battery stats this is what I found
Do you have any idea what can I do?
Thanks

My phone seems to have this problem to, android system seems to be using high volumes of data but I think it's doing it of a night when my phones in flight mode I have no apps running or widgets and so far within a few days 20% of my monthly data has gone
Does anyone have any ideas as to what this can be?

Just disable back up my data, i'ts under back up and reset in settings.

Mine uses very little, don't use wifi very often though. Have a 2gb data plan and wifi in the house is poor

Same here. Every rom has crappy battery life with data on. A lot of wakeups. On wifi everything is ok. Probably a ril problem, maybe some devs will figure it out.

I don't have the high android OS usage anymore but i still have crappy battery life with 3G on. Last night i worked 3 hours, didn't use my phone and it went down 10% o.o. Every forum has the same answer: 3G is a batterysucker, but this wasn't the case with my Xperia Arc and my Nokia e71, those phones gave me a great batterylife on 3G. I really hope someone can find a solution for this, because now i can never make it through the day with 3G, while with wifi i can make it through two days.

I posted a thread on Original Development area. Please post ideas there. Thank you!

Facebook Home & Xperia Z

So Facebook Home have been annonced. Looks pretty nice to me!
To break down the question:
"Will Facebook Home run on the Xperia Z?"
I can't see why not?
And what about you guys? Are ya' going to give it a try?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

It might not be compatible "out of box" so you might see "your device is not compatible" message in Play Store. I'm sure they will make it work pretty soon unofficially - and remember that Sony signed up for FB Home program so official support for Sony devices will come soon, even if it won't be supported at launch.
As for the second question, no I won't use it as I really don't like facebook and think it should die as soon as possible

Well for me: They can keep it - i don't want it

android notifications don't show in facebook home
no thanks

The first thing I did with my brand new Xperia Z was disabling Facebook and uninstall all the other social media garbage. So no, I won't try it 'cause I couldn't care less.

I hear you all

It's been announced only compatible with a handful of phones so far - the XZ isn't one of them.
No great loss.

[Q] Xperia Z and CM 11 - Am missing "Stamina"

Heya,
Im a total phone n00b, but was sick of Sony's bloated updates so did some googling and successfully installed CM11 on my Xperia Z (went from Sony's official 4.3 build)
Im greatly prefering the nightly CM11 builds, they are more stable than Sony's 4.3 update :laugh: Before someone says, I do realise this isnt released as stable software, but Im fine with that, it works really well. Im just looking for ways work around some of the issues :fingers-crossed:
I am having a couple of problems, I would ask in the development forum but dont have the permission to do so, so hopefully someone can help me here.
#1 Im getting Music stuttering/artifacts when playing MP3's. It seems to be a common thing on the Z at the moment.. I did some playing and the only fix I have found is running Android Tuner with the CPU setting at performance, which plays smoothly without any issue. None of the other less power hungry settings seem to be able to play MP3's smoothly.
#2 Battery life sucks. I get about 6 hours of average use now. On the official 4.2 software Id get an easy 10 hours with the same use.
Im guessing my issues are very much one and the same thing. The sony builds come with "Stamina" the app that controls clock speeds etc and greatly increases battery life.
Ive downloaded Android Tuner, and DU Battery saver, in an effort to try and reproduce what Stamina was doing, but I cant find the combination of settings that work.
Does anyone have any ideas on what settings to run? A single app that does what Stamina does? Any other ideas on how to get my phone fast enough to play MP3s, without requiring a diesel generator towed behind it for the hourly recharge would be great
Thanks!

Not to diss cyanogenmod or anything but currently nightlies are a bit iffy, may work well for you but may I suggest for the time being you switch to beanstalk ROM you will get superior battery life, performance and a a lot more features it should also fix audio as I've experienced excellent audio quality with the ROM.

A very got alternative to Stamina is Greenify. It hibernates apps when you don't use them. It is basically the same thing Stamina does. The only thing you won't have is that internet connection won't turn off when you switch off your screen. But with Tasker or Llama you can create a profile to change to 2G when turning off screen and switch back to 3G or even Lte when turning screen on.

Because Xperia Z's CyanogenMod11 default CPU voltage is higher than the Sony official system, only to be saving by reducing the CPU voltage. But CyanogenMod11 kernel does not support CPU voltage drop, third-party kernel "MEOW-kernel.v1.12.17-kitkat" currently does not support the CPU voltage drop. To power saving can only wait "MEOW-kernel" support a voltage drop.

This is my Xperia Z with CM 11.0

Use the Snapdragon Battery Guru app. It's specially designed for Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm. It's does a pretty similar job to what Stamina Mode does.

Cheers people,
Have been running Beanstalk for a few days, its definetly less greedy than the Nightly CM11 and is playing music fine with no tweaking needed. Just installed snapdragon battery guru too.
Thanks heaps! :highfive:

Sony's new Camera Apps(Portrait Retouch & Background Defocus)

i would've thought it would be added to Sony Select camera apps rather than in a new firmware.
why make a separate camera add-on store and then not use it.
only guessing
personally id rather they made some good video camera apps. already alot of decent photo apps on the playstore but barely any good video camera apps.

During the CES live stream they said that background defocus was a Z1s exclusive.

But @niaboc79 has confirmed he'll port that apps once we get Z1x dump files.
And if we know and we know that he's developing for Z family of Xperias (we'll get his eXistenZ ROM) - we will get all of that and I'm sure many more aps and features from new devices...

It will come via Sony Select like all the other camera apps

Of course we get all this... c'mon patience guys. The Z1s is not even on the market, they sell it from the 22nd on (update: looks like some shippings are done).
We will have KitKat, a better Camera App and a whole bunch of updates and so on and on and on. Time by time.
Meanwhile why you just don't enjoy this awesome phone?

Testing
Currently testing your latest build. I'll be back on a few days for feedbacks. Thanks for this seemingly great rom.
Edit: Post count doesn't reach 10 yet so I can only reply on this thread.
Edit 2: Had problems with ART, or probably just my phone. The rom is apparantly incompatible with either ART, or my phone. Lags whenever I press home(both google and the "other one" preinstalled). The battery drain was grain but definitely, I can't sacrifice performance for a longer battery. So, switched back to stock for now. And, I couldn't uninstall Apollo.

Nice work! Thanks for rom!
There is a problem - SD-Card (64GB, exFAT) not working on this rom
On the other KK4.4.4 firmwares it works. How to fix?

Touch Screen Driver
I use the version 3.2 20141005.
Simple, Perfect!!!!!!
Tanks for this xperience!!!! B)
Suggestion:
On the driver's display, use another drive or method (whatever), like the driver of ROM "mahdi".
The driver of his touch seems little sensitive, need to push harder to operate.
Sorry for poor English.
Tanks for your good work!

That seemed to be the issue. My bad, not reading warnings etc. Good rom though. Just not the right cup of tea for me. I'd still be visiting though, see your progress. I might change my taste.

Bluetooth bug

Just reporting a way around this if anyone faces the same prob with me. If you don't give your car-bluetooth permission to access messages and phonebook the problem disappears. I know it reduces some of the functionality but at least you can still play your music anserw and make calls through your device...

Hi, I recently reflashed this ROM after trying several others. Everything works great except;
I activated Battery Saver Mode to remove vibrations, disable the LED, etc when Battery is low or manually. Now when I deactivate it, those functions aren't restored. Help please?
