[Q] Music player doesnt work after battery reaches 10%

I dont Know if this is a standard android thing or some dumb samsung thing, but why does the music player stop after the battery drains to 10%. It's my phone if i want to kill it using music then so be it. WTF

i noticed a similar dilemma with the camera :\
not sure of the percentage though...

I Havent try'd the camera that low yet. I understand that those things may take more power but if im choosing to use it then it's my fault if my phone dies.

Video player was the same way, but i could play youtube videos until it died.

Why would you want to use the music app at that low of battery? Not to be a **** but that's why its called a smartphone

Because it's MY phone and I want to do what I want to with it. If I'm at home listening to music idc if it dies. I wouldn't use it if I needed the phone to last that bad

Well I hope to see a fix for it, although its not a big deal.

There probably is a fairly simple work around.
I don't know of one yet, but I'd believe that there is.
I feel the same way, its my phone, I want to do that. I sacrifice the 2% that it might take to snap 1 photo.
Plus, I'd prefer if it were just a warning rather than a 'kill-app'

Use non-stock apps.
Have not tried it with camera, but music and video players that aren't stock don't give that message. I recommend mVideoPlayer and Doubletwist for video and music respectively. Both free. Rockplayer is another popular one for video.

SRS Enhancement

So I'm kind of a big drum and bass fan, my cars kitted out with a quality VIBE sound system and sound quality means alot to me. I just plugged in my skullcandys to my phone, started streaming some songs through Zune. I then turned on SRS in the sound enhancer and OH MY GOD! The sound quality is AMAZING! I never experienced anything like this on my iPod. I will most deffinately by purchasing my Zune pass once the trial runs out!

SRS really does kick out the bass.
Not suitable for all music but when you want to melt your brain it's amazing.

just remember using any type of sound processing consumes battery life. the more aggressive the sound enhancement the worse the hit on battery life. this is more so for mobile than it is for other cpus. it comes down really to instruction set built into the cpu, and how optimized they are

can anybody tell me what the name of the application is and where on the fone i can find..Thanks

the Sound Enchancer app can be found in the marketplace under HTC Apps.

Yeah the battery life isn't to good. I'm considering getting another battery or waiting for someone to make a legit 1500mAh battery

good taste in music, noticed the same litening to Logan D

This is probably just me but I have no battery complaints. I have an hour commute to work; So I literally stream about 2 hours at least. I surf the net when i can. text a lot (by my standards about 30 - 40 on average). Watch podcasts that i've downloaded via Zune.
In essence from 6am when I unplug the phone till about midnight when I plug it back to charge I'm good. Compared to my HD2 I would have been out of juice with just 2 hrs of slacker only.

Yea...I am a great DnB and DUbstep lover myself!! SRS DOES make a lot of difference!!

how am i supposed to get more than 3hours on screen time with this phone?

Sony really messed up this phone by putting a tiny battery in it.
I can only get 3 hours of on screen time with it.
All the reviews lied about 5-6 hours. its a joke.
I had the phone 4 or 5 days now, screen on 20%, NFC off, stamina mode on.
if i use the phone, its only for the occasional phone call, some basic website browsing or watching videos on MX player with H/W mode.
for example, it lost 15% battery watching half an hour video. thats 30% in an hour, so basically 3 hours of wtaching a video.
My phone is currently on 60% battery.
its been 17.5 hours since it was charged to 100%.
android system has used 21%
screen has used 18% (with screen usuage time on 1hr 12m)
wifi 13%
mediaserver 11% (what the hell is mediaserver??)
Cell standby 7%
voice calls 7%
etc
stamina mode is on, and i've whitelisted nothing.
It's had 2 or 3 full charges since i've had it. the battery life is a joke.
from my usage above, does this all sound normal???
i love this phone, except the battery life. sony really messsed up here.

Sounds similar to my experience also.

Had over 5 hours with the phone on 13 hours of battery, yes there are software issues but this should be possible.

Screen on time does not mean watching a video. Have you also tried turning off the bravia engine? You'll get a bit more life out of watching videos then.

can i ask how you got over 5 hours? i can't get much more than 3. from what i posted above, what am i doing wrong?
i'm also thinking of buying this external battery.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc-120...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362998255&sr=1-2
this seems like a good buy right?
i spend a lot of time travelling, so will rely on this to watch a lot of videos, plays games, etc.
it seems like a good purchase right?
because i absolutely love everything else about this sony phone, i even prefer sony's version of android over stock android! first time I have ever preferred a manufacturers version over plain vanilla android.

I never watched a video only some youtube videos, so it might be different with watching videos. But I have the device since 28 February and the battery really seems to be improved allot. for instance I have used the device in the same way as last Monday but now I have over 10% more battery than last week. Also I noticed that the brightness heavily impacts the battery. If you are in a pinch the best is to lower the brightness to it's lowest setting with auto brightness turned on. Another thing with video is that it will differ between videos as bit-rate and format will have an impact on the battery. I would be surprised if you really notice a difference between 1080p and 720p in terms of quality since the screen is very small, but I would guess that it would be less demanding of the battery. Maybe a bit of experimenting with different bit-rate and format is warranted.

I would also know what the hell is mediaserver...i got over 14% usage...

Are you listening to music? I think that's media server, among other factors.

Mediaserver does seem to spring into action whenever you view images, watch videos and listen to music. For some users, it then goes into overdrive using a lot of processing power, making the device hot and draining the battery. I've read that a corrupt file can send mediaserver into an infinite loop.
Anyway, the mediaserver battery drain is an Android issue - users have been having the same issue with galaxy s3, nexus 4, nexus 7 and other devices. Try force stopping Google Play Music and uninstalling the updates, and if you don't use it, disable it altogether. Then switch off your phone, wait a few seconds, reboot and recharge. Other than that, you may have to reboot after loading music, videos, images or find the dodgy files (if there are any) on your device. Not really an acceptable situation - Google need to sort this long-running issue out.

Media server will show up when your watching videos/listening to music... Compare its awake time with your time watchings vids, and you'll see they match up. I noticed that newer versions of mxplayer are draining more battery than older ones on my XperiaS.( 5h vs 8h , theoretically) . Try downloading older version that has "hardware decoder" , not "hardware decoder+ " , or disable Hw+ . Im getting mine XZ this week ..i'll look into it

Media server is responsible for a lot of things. But most of the time when it is stuck it is stuck on indexing. Could be the SD card, best is to reformat the SD in the phone. Also I noticed it is sometimes slow to update photos that I added manually, this could be because I have stamina mode switched on dough.
You can force the Album app to re index by removing data and cash and re starting your phone.

Hmm...need to sort out this media server problem...do you have any solution..

Like I said format your SD card in phone put the media back on it and let it be indexed. indexing is done by the media server and depending on the media on your sd card this could take a while. Also switch off stamina mode while it is busy indexing.

Also cAn u say me that how to soft reset the z...long pressing and holding didnt help

I've got 54 percent battery left and I've got 2 hours 26 min screen on time right now, that's with watching some video, looking at pics and web useage. That's good enough for me.. 5 hours screen on by death.

I finded a solution for lowering mediaserver.
Keypad sound off,screen vibration off.
But when you turn on music or look videos it will run again.(images don't have anything with mediaserver)

[Q] camera and notification led

hi guys, I would like to buy this phone but camera really scares me.. I read some reviews and saw some pictures pretty bad (with a lot of light a lot of white for example).. are images really that bad? other phone I would like to but is the xperia T with better camera, but cm10.1 development is better for the LG I think so I am really undecided.. :crying:
and what about pictures in cm10.1, are much worse than in stock jb? (I see someone ported the stock camera in cm, that's why i am asking..)
also, there is no notification led on this phone right?
thanks in advance bye!

The camera is the same on stock LG or on cm10.1 there are maybe different processes after having taking the picture but there is not a lot of difference.
However IMO, the camera is not that bad, I do not take photos as a professional but for me the photos are great.
You can see some pictures taken with the LG Optimus 4X HD in this subject : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866677
I find them pretty good but once again I do not take many photos so i can't really judge.
Anyway the Xperia T is not as powerful as the O4X in term of performance and its screen is smaller
And there's no notification LED on the O4X but there's an app which manage to use the light of the hardware keys as notification led. That's not really clear but tell me if you did not understand

thanks a lot for the reply!
yes I saw that link, images seems pretty good, but on some websites I saw pretty bad pictures.. well btw I don't make so many pictures actually, so if quality is average I think I could live with the LG camera
about the screen yes I read everywhere it is better on the LG, as per the power I know LG has quad core so seems better, but I heard for gaming for example it is not so good as there are no so many videogames optimized for the tegra platform.. so xperia T should work even better than the LG with the most of the games.. btw I am not a heavy gamer so the performance should be enough for me
thanks for the hardware keys light mod, didnt' see that and it would be perfect if it works on cm10.1 also!
last important thing is the battery, I read some (pretty old) reviews where they said phone get hot soon and battery drains a lot in that condition, but I think with new firmwares/kernel situation is improved right?!
thanks a gain for your help!

Always happy if I can help :thumbup:
The battery life has been improved a lot with the customs roms like cm10.1 and the different kernels we have now (like Iodak, Werewolf, Optimus Prime or EPRJ). So thanks to the dev the battery like is no more a problem (at least for me).
Honestly, I can play my favourite games smoothly, I play Fifa 12, Virtua tennis and some other casual games and they are absolutely lagfree.
I do not play real heavy games but I read that with some combination of kernel and rom, you can play every games smoothly on this phone

last thing (for now ) can you confirm panorama works perfectly in both stock JB and cm10.1?
I read a review where they said panorama was not always working fine because of focus problems..??!! I really like/need panorama feature so I would like to have it perfectly stable
also I see there is no video video stabilization in camera (video recording).. but are videos good enough?

Haha this phone is really good but I do not want to influence you too much
For me, the panorama works perfectly, there are sometimes default on the picture but the most of the time the panorama do his work as it should
We also have a port of the Nexus 4's camera so Photosphere is available on this device.
The videos are good, it's true that the stabilization is not perfect but the videos are good enough for my taste.
Just to remind you that I'm absolutely not a professional so i can't really judge the camera since I never use a real camera.
Anyway for a normal use and with cm10.1 the camera should be good enough even if it's not the best part of the O4X
Hope that helped you

One more word on the camera: My wife has a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, which makes not that excellent pictures (quite a little blurry even under optimal conditions). When she took a look at the pics my O4X made, I had trouble getting it back Sure you cannot compare them with a DSLR -- but for the "Amateur", they are pretty good.

thanks guys for all the replies, I am really close to the purchase I found the phone here in Italy at about 270 Euro and I think is a very good price so I am about to buy it I am pretty sure I will miss the xperia T camera but some other things make me prefer the LG to the sony: for example it has re-lockable bootloader if I well understood, no need to cut my sim, removable battery, more powerful, better screen, better cm10.1 port than the xperia T (afaik the xperia T have reboot problems with cm10.1, so I think LG cm10.1 is better ) etc
just have one final doubt hope you can help
is there somebody of you that always or most of the time stays on 2g and just in case of need switch to 3g and then again go back to 2g?
I need to know if 2g data connection is stable, as I much prefer to always stay with 2g to save battery.. (one of the reasons why I want to change my phone is that with my motorola I must stay always in 3g to have a stable connection, in fact as soon as I switch to 2g I have many disconnections or no connection at all.. so if I change the phone spend money and then have the same problem I could kill myself :laugh: )
can you confirm 2g connection is stable on O4X? if yes, with both stock JB and cm10.1?
thanks a lot guys!

bootloader is semi-lockable. it's info is stored in fuse file, which has 16 or so chances of lock & relock. but for each lock & relock, you have different value of the file, so you can easily see how many times it has been locked/relocked.
as for 2g, i'm using 3g half a month and 2g the other half - i have 250mb of internet at 3g speeds in my prepaid plan, and after i use that up, which is usually aroudn 15th - 20th in the month, i switch to 2g. using CM based roms & kernels nowadays, and i dont have any problems with it. :good:

thanks mate you are great! I saw many threads with unlocking procedures but did not see that one sorry!

I was convinced by many threads on this forum to buy this phone, people says, battery life is OK, phone is smooth, camera is OK, then I bought this phone and that was the biggest mistake I did. To clarify:
1. Camera: pictures are not bad but when you want to record a video in a noisy place distortion is all the time, my previous Moto RAZR xt910 recorded video 10x better.
2. Battery life: I tried every combination ROM/Kernel and when I was unplugged my phone at 6:00Am after 12 hours battery was dead. This phone barely lasts 2 hours screen on time. So battery life is worst then every smartphone I had (check signature).
3. Sat Nav. I coudn't use this phone as a SatNav in a car because when you driving and screen is ON car charger can't charge this phone because it's discharging too fast. Result? After few hours the phone is dead unless you turn the screen off and wait for car charger charge the battery.
4. Dust under screen: I was use this phone in usual way, hold in my front jeans pocket, after 2 - 3 monts a big piece of dust poped out in a centre of screen, you can see it on a second picture on my ebay auction:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330939115679?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649
Now I rather buy Xperia T then this piece of crap.
That's my opinion, I try to save you cause I regret nobody did it for me.
(sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue)

wow that's bad.. you are changing my mind.. i would use a lot the phone as sat nav and if the battery drain is higher than the car charger charge that would be a big problem for me.. someone else can confirm that?
my present phone (defy+) connected to the car charger while using Google maps navigator and also play music at the same time doesn't discharge, but get charged! (very slowly of course but still it get charged..)
lukas77: excuse me Sir but what make you think that things with xperia T will be different?
tx btw for your opinion

if you hit a certain temperature treshold, your cell phone goes into "slow charging" mode, which can lead to battery being discharged even while plugged in. to bypass this, you can enable "unlimited charging" in secret menu that you access by typing a code. this way, you won't lose battery no matter what you do, as long as your phone is being charged. keep in mind that this may make phone a lot hotter than usual.
as for his battery problems, he must've had baseband_xmm bug. the phone lasts around 3 hours onscreen time for me (and truth to be told, i am not happy with that, so i plan on getting another battery. however, i've seen people push 5 hours onscreen time, probably with brightness set veryx low), and uses 0.5% per hour on standby with wifi and data off. you do the math how long it can stay in standby, if managed properly.
out of the box the phone might not perform the way you want it; finding kernel & rom combination that works takes some trial & error.
a big bug myself and some other people have, is that gps somehow loses signal with headphones plugged in, and it seems people with both stock and us with custom roms experience this bug. this might understandibly be a dealbreaker for some, so it's better to let you know beforehand.

as for his battery problems, he must've had baseband_xmm bug. the phone lasts around 3 hours onscreen time for me (and truth to be told, i am not happy with that, so i plan on getting another battery. however, i've seen people push 5 hours onscreen time, probably with brightness set veryx low), and uses 0.5% per hour on standby with wifi and data off. you do the math how long it can stay in standby, if managed properly.
out of the box the phone might not perform the way you want it; finding kernel & rom combination that works takes some trial & error.
a big bug myself and some other people have, is that gps somehow loses signal with headphones plugged in, and it seems people with both stock and us with custom roms experience this bug. this might understandibly be a dealbreaker for some, so it's better to let you know beforehand.

thanks a lot my friend, exact, helpful and clear as always
yes that gps bug would be a big bug for me actually, thanks for letting me know! (i often use gps navigation while phone is connected to the car stereo through headphones to listen to some music so gps malfunctioning would be really a big problem for me!)
strange i did read a lot around about this phone and have never reed anything about that.. thanks again!
well my other choice would be the xperia T but that suffers the reboot bug in cm10.1 and that also is a big bug for me.. really don't know what to do now..
bye and thanks all and good night maybe sleep will take some advice's..

Try using CM Stable with iodak v6 kernel. In my case it gave better battery life and much better performance than any other combination.

hi guys, sorry for posting again here but i would prefer not to open a new thread.. but if mods want me to do so I will do that!
I have one "final" question about this phone.. :laugh: will all the p880's be bootloader unlockable without exceptions? or if I buy it I should worry about that at the purchase and choose a particular model etc?
(I am asking this because for example for the Xperia T they say that if I get a no-brand one it can be easily unloacked, while if I get a branded one I can't unlock the bootloader at all..! is the same for the LG?)
thanks in advance bye!

Nexus 5 Battery Results

Post your screenshots with a description of the test you used. ​
I'm doing a low to medium usage test with Bluetooth, Location Access on High accuracy, WIFI, HSPA,Auto Brightness and google now. From 100% down to 0%. Then doing a Full charge time with phone turned on.
Will be posting screenshots via dropbox below with a few hours in between.
Battery usage screenshots. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/zwr2s240knxqove/_FZDWDZWmT
4hr 6mins screenshots of time on. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/zzvlu7oplnax7qf/IeDdDl9Nb_
8hr in with screen on time. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/ww0uwt5fo8tbuk9/mw_LPAcrB3
19hr screenshot with 7.5hr overnight standbyhttps://www.dropbox.com/sc/t64536q9a0l0axd/RWJ6_Oq4gJ
In addition I've used a2dp audio stream for an hour or so. I'll do a full screenshot of all the on times later.
Still very low usage scenario. Battery looking good. @22hrs 40% with updated screenshots above.
Final Result only took me to 15% with 1 Day 16 Hours. Screen on time 3hr 16mins. Needed a full battery for the day and couldn't risk it but atleast it's a general ballpark. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/oaj33ji9kssx5rt/BFiLIz-Jef
40 Hours is still pretty good for light usage. During a busy working day i would be happy with 9 hours max usage.

I know this is off topic but I havn't ben able to confirm this anyway: Does the nexus 5 have a LED notification light?

Yes it does have a notification light. Its in the same place as the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4. Here is a video of it in action;

Not to be rude, but no its not. I meant the actual time the screen has been on not the % of it. When you click on screen you'll see what I mean.

Here's a link to mine from the other battery thread;

Were you expecting Galaxy Note or LG G2 battery life from a phone with a 2300 mAh battery?
Those battery stats seem perfectly fine for a phone with a 2300 mAh battery.

It looks ok with almost 2h of BT streaming calls + 2h of music. Other results in thread seem more "realistic" (if you don't use BT). Let's wait for more feedback. If it could make 4-4.30h screen on for me, that means with custom kernel and UC it could easily hit 5h or more. *thinking out loud*

Here's my reply from the previous thread...
Well you say it's disappointing but I disagree;
If you look at the screenshots you will see how much battery has been taken by the voice calls compared to screen on time;
30% of the total battery use was from the 3hr47m for screen on time but...
A whopping 26% for only 1hr28m of voice call time! If we use that ratio and just double it (assuming all network strength was the same) you'd likely lose 52% of your battery in just under 3 hours...(this is just an estimation based on my results btw).
I honestly don't understand the hard-on people get for screen on time when voice calls seem to drain the battery much much harder... doesn't anyone use their device as a phone anymore?
Also if you take into consideration how bad my signal was the battery life I had today was all the more impressive.
A Random Afterthought:
IF that 26% that were used on Voice calls were used for screen on time...although realistically it'd probably be something like 17-20% with the rest on random android processes and processor usage; the screen on time could easily be above 5 hours possibly pushing 6 with bad signal and no wifi O_O...

Well nexus 4 with Trinity kernel gets 6-7 hours so with nexus 5 I expect around 8 hours on a custom kernel and stock should get around 5 hours which is pretty darn good.

Think I had like 32 mins of actual phone calls on my phone bill last month lol. So yea, a lot of people dont use their phones for calls all that much.

The Default battery app doesn't give enough information imo, Could you install GSam Battery Monitor? It is free & very informative.

Perfectly acceptable

shr33kant,
The battery performance results you have are perfectly acceptable for a typical phone user that uses the phone for calls, web surfing, google services, movies etc. I only get 2 to 2hr. 15mins on my N4 with typical phone usage as you. So the N5 is basically getting better battery performance then the N4. :good:
