Hi guys,
Since I made the mistake of switching to DUO instead of the Tilt (yeah cast stones on me) when I updated "that one" to 6.1 the /WINDOWS file incredibly messed up. So much so that I felt a hard reset would work and reinstall 6.1 but instead I killed it on "Download Ready". Now I have to turn in my lil' POS to Pantech so they do that themselves. Bummer and no phone for 2 weeks.
Then I pull out my good ol' trusty Wizard but this one, unless I have it plugged in or hooked on the USB, it powers off and on constantly and goes back to original config (year 2006, and such). I NEED this phone as a loaner till I get the other one back. No use to have a cell phone that you can't use without cables.
I want to know if there is a fix to this, or if you guys think if updating this dinosaur (original everything, OS, WM, radio, etc.) to your latest and best(est) would fix this really annoying thing. Heck if you guys can fix this I might put the Duo in the corner for a while after it comes back...I got that SIM card and put it here and I can make and receive calls, the problem is it turning off and on constantly and deleting everything.
Now I will go back to my corner with my straightjacket. Thanks!
Hello there fellow Wizard owner. This is my first post on the website and I think I can help you out.
1) Try and leave your Wizard connected to the wall outlet for 1 hour. Then turn it on while plugged to the wall. See it will reboot. If it doesn't unplug it and see how long it lasts without it being plugged. If it reboots when it is unplogged it could mean your battery wont hold it's charge no more and all you need to do is get a new one. I went thru the same trouble last month and after testing everything under the sun I decided to replace the baterry and .. Viola!!! no more reboots for me.
I hope this helps.
Another questinon,
My notebook is Vista; my DH's is an XP. Which OS is safer to perform these changes? I found the thread where I can update the OS and to WM6 for newbies and I will try that first on XP.
One of (if not) the main reason the Duo got screwed up is that I tried to update it to 6.1 on Vista, when I was supposed to do this on XP (but don't tell anybody that they had TWO different instructions for BOTH OS's).
Cheerio.
Lol ... Yeah on my personal opinion if you are upgrading your Operating system use XP ... for some reason Vista freezes on me. And b4 you upgrade remember to read ALL the threads about upgrading your Wizard. Pretty much you can find all the answers on the search engine. And this guys are close to Gods when it comes to modding this "dinnosaour". I have pretty much messed my phone over 100 times .. I always look for the newer Rom and hacks and they guides they have here can help you with almost any known problem.
I know...I have taken apart mine FOUR TIMES and put it back together...two times b/c my daughter decided to dunk it in OJ!!!!!!!
Good thx for the advice I will fetch for a batt then...my DH will not hear me complain any longer I hope...
It's more than likely your battery.
When mine went - from a full charge to 60 % no issues, once it hit 59 % charge - the phone would cycle on and off until I pulled the battery - or stuck in back on the charger.
New battery - haven't had an issue since
Good luck

Hi,
Performed experiment as we agreed...turned it on @3pm (let it charge for more than 1 hr) and AS LONG AS I DID NOT MAKE A CALL it worked fine. Now it is having those seizures again. I can only stop it by taking the battery off, of course if I want to do that immediately. I dialed, when I was gonna send a page to my DH it went bipolar.
Now that is a reason why I believe it is not necessarily a battery issue but a software/hardware issue. I believe I will try upgrade software on this thing.

Did yours did this when making a call? I played games, fussed with the calendar, updated email settings, but nothing happened till I dialed.
Yep - usually when making a call.
Games, settings, etc take very little battery power - but phone calls take the brunt of the battery power.
Kind of like when they give you battery ratings - you will see four or five days of stand by time - but only 5 hours of talk time.
Like I said, for me - it was the battery.
Good luck
Same here battery was my problem. But if you still want to try to update. Make sure you charge the thone THRU wall adaptor then thru USB. If I remember correctly wizards wont charge a completely drained battery thru USB. And if during the update your phone starts to do the reboot dance it is 99.9% your batery then. Again GL.
I was playing TripleTown a very addicting game once you figure out exactly what you're suppose to do and my phone went completly un-responsive (couldn't even turn off the screen) so I had to wait then my screen shuts off me thinking the screen finally timed out but it had shut down then finally rebooted and I see my battery level went from 70% to 40% (as indicated in the picture) anybody know why this could of happened?
Oh, this is on GV 2.0

GV tempted to go to ZV8 but not sure if I should take the time and steps to update to ZV8 and re-root and re-add CWM
Loooks like this is happening to everyone recently all at once. Its creating problems...
I had the same issue while surfing the web last week. Not sure why it happened.
I had this happen earlier today. An in progress call froze, phone said battery was dead. I power cycled and had 68% remaining. Anyone know what is causing this?
I have also been having this problem. For me it showed up along with many other bugs in the ZV8 update. I had never had the problem before then.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that the issue seems to have subsided after a factory reset. I haven't spent much time on the phone post-reset, but since I haven't seen the issue yet, it seems to have improved. I wouldn't recommend that kind of hassle to anyone unless it became a huge problem for them.
Hi all
I'm new to android and am having some major issues with my Sony New xperia z.
First off stamina mode is simply not working. It did to start but it's now not changing the expected battery life when toggled on and off. That's just the start though.
Battery life had been absolutely terrible. I have been deliberately stopping myself from using the handset just so I can make it through the day.
I have come from an iPhone 4 and am quite a heavy user normally, my battery always lasted well beyond one day. New I know the screen and processor on this are awesome but I'm literally not going to be able to use any apps or anything if this is the true battery life.:crying:
I noticed that android os was taking the majority of my battery for just if today, screen has since taken over since I got in because I've been searching the net for potential answers.
Android services is up there as well. I installed a battery checker to see if my phone is but going into deep sleep for some reason and found that there had been something like 3000 wakelocks since last charge (unplugged this morning). I'm now down to 3% after about 13.5 hours since unplugged.
Screenshot was from before I started writing this post.
Any help please. If this isn't some sort of bug/fixable errorI might have to see about returning this phone!
Is this amount of wake locks normal? How can I tell what's stopping my phone from sleeping? I'm new to android other than my nexus 7 which had always been amazing in terms of battery.
Thanks all
John
Go into your Google account and disable everything from syncing expert the essentials, logout of talk etc , that should help.

Battery life is not great, but it's good for me. However, my Xperia Z is rooted and all the non-essential apps and services disabled (pretty much everything of Sony's).
Can last for a whole day from morning 8am to night 12pm, and still left about 20%. Heavy user, 5 hours screen-on time, surfing, calls, text/whatsapp, and a couple of videos for about 30min.

Hi guys
So I've charged it overnight, and this morning I've purposefully turned Stamina mode off (though the number doesn't change from 20 hours either way, Stamina mode is definitely broken on my handset!)
I've also turned off a load of location service options from within maps, as per a solution I found on a google forum (but it won't let me post the link as I'm still a noob!)
It sounds like lots of people have had similar issues with Android 4.1.2. Dare I hope that Sony release the 4.2.2 update as quickly as rumoured and that this will fix these issues!?
I'll report back in later on the battery use. So far only used 7% since being unplugged at 8:30am, and i have made a few long calls this morning (I use the phone for work as well as play )
I really haven't been using Apps all that much at all. I haven't even tried Google Talk yet. I am a games man really, so hopefully I can get the battery life sorted so I can make use of this phone to its full capability.
I don't want to disable 3G as I see this as standard operating functionality, and I usually use my phone to browse the web, check emails, check facebook, use whatsapp, stream youtube vids, everything you would expect a connected smartphone to do. I suppose what I'm saying is I don't want to disable anything that takes away from how I would actually use the handset, otherwise even if the battery lasts, its not doing what I need it to. It would be like a paperweight with a long lasting battery... pointless.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate all the support. Fingers crossed I get a better day out of it today! Watch this space.
:fingers-crossed:
Much better today. I've had to use it for quite a few calls, watched a couple of vids and listened to a couple of tracks plus played about 4-5 levels on angry birds space. I'm at 56%remaining after 9 hours on battery. This is with stamina mode off. 1 hour 37 mins of screen time.
To be fair it's still not as good as I had hoped, but this at least means it'll likely last till bedtime with some battery remaining. I get the feeling that tomorrow it migot be even better. Also I think once the 4.2.2 update is released it will probably improve. I also get the feeling it may have improved after I opened YouTube and Google talk for the first time - almost as if android was holding its breath until I opened them. Could it have been holding out for me to open them so they could complete initial setups or something?
All this being said, after being on here for only about 5-10 minutes to write this post I'm now down to 51% all of a sudden!
Wrong thread.
Hi there, So did you manage to fix the stamina mode? I'm having the same problem. Turning stamina mode on or off doesn't change the idle time left. Though this is my second day using and only second charge.

I believe stamina mode kicks in when You switch the screen on.
On the couple of first day, when You play with Your new phone all day long with full brightness, it could run out pretty quick (less than 9 hours I had).
I got my Xperia Z on release day in UK and to be honest, I've been checking 'battery issues' threads for all day long
Two days ago, I did a proper test eg 'everyday use'. Phone battery lasted nearly two full days :good:
Basicaly I upluged Z from charger 6 in the morning and I died on me NEXT day when i sat on sofa around 8 pm watching Youtube with headphones on. So I got over 2 hours constant screen on with music before it died.
Through the rest of the time i managed to get over 2 hours of screen time, answering over 12 calls, sending loads of messages and checking facebook, xda, twitter and instagram countless times :highfive:
1 day 13 hours 24 minutes
And here is the screen time.
My stamina is set to allow gmail only, which obviously tells me if I sold anything on ebay, got interaction on any of my websites.
My screen brightness was set to automatic with slider full to the right.
Vibration when touching screen are off since day one (don't really like it )
I was worried about battery too. From thinking it is not good, I've changed my opinion to its WAY better than S and Ip5 (which i own still until i sell them on ebay). Hope this clears things up for anyone. Ohh, phone was ran to flat out once on release day, then full charge and flat 2 times before this.
Now I have to say, I absolutely LOVE THIS PHONE now!
:victory:
Is it time to try a custom rom?

Hi there - nope. Stamina mode is bust for me. I'm not bothered enough to factory reset again though. I'm still experiencing intermittent battery issues, like today for example I took it out the wall at 6:35, I'm already down to 66%. To be fair, I've watched a couple of 2-3 mins videos on Youtube, used a bit of tethering (about 5 minutes) and sent a few texts, but this is way higher than I would expect. By contrast, yesterday the battery seemed to last pretty well, but then I was working from home, so there was very little in the way of searching for signal etc.
I've contacted Sony about this, and their official line is to download PC Companion software and do a "software repair" (through their usual updating route) I'm going to probably give this a go over the weekend, but it has warned me that I might lose my data... so it might be the equivalent of a factory reset anyway.
I'm a bit sick about worrying about battery life now - getting a new handset should be exciting and I should just be enjoying the features of this superphone. Instead I'm deliberately not using it to make sure I don't run out of juice. Starting to wonder what the point in having it is.
As a newbie, I don't know much about rooting and using non-stock software - does anyone know if:
Its easy to do (I am fairly computer literate at least)?
There are custom roms I could use for the Xperia Z?
It would likely help the battery life?
Thanks again all

Well, that's me jealous as hell then! I'm going to do the software repair, as obviously I do have some issues with the battery (rather than me just being paranoid, and it being normal to get the battery usage I've been receiving)
Agreed. I just one good battery life not great. Enough to last a day with moderate-heavy usage. I don't mind charging at night. But charging every half a day is ridiculous..
Anyways I too have my stamina broken. Now i'm doing the software repair. hopefully it'll be okay. I really hope that after a few weeks the XZ can last long..

I'm hoping that when they release the Android 4.2.2 update it'll help too. I've read lots of forums about people getting poor battery life when upgrading to 4.1.2 (which the Z comes with as standard) but these being fixed when upgrading to 4.2.2. So hopefully they'll release it as quickly as the rumours suggest and this can help.
I've certainly got no battery problems whatsoever on my Nexus 7 on 4.2.2, but then its a totally different device.

to be honest, 4.2 and 4.2.1 on my nexus 7 just killed the battery.
it was no where near as good as 4.1.2 or 4.1.1...
hoping that 4.2.2 is optimised a bit better
Trust me even if the Stamina Mode doesn't look llike it is working there is still a big difference having it off and On, yes the phone is being woken up but still not as much as with it off.

i was having the same problem stamina mode worked fine but than for no reason it stopped and i could see the % drop before my eyes, but then i did a factory reset to the handset and it was fine after that works perfectly, def not a solution as there is no need for such a talked about feature to be so unreliable having said that after i did my factory reset i had it on 100% for 5 hours on standby with 15 min of screen time , just goes to show how awsome something is if it worked as advertised

Yeah, the factory reset worked for me too... for a day or so. Then boom, went to check it and it was doing the old 20 hours, no difference thing. Real pain the posterior.
In a funny sort of way, I'm glad that others aren't experiencing the same battery issues as me, as it confirms that its something that's not quite working right with my handset, rather than it being as its supposed to be, and hopefully a firmware release or simply doing Sony's suggested software repair will fix it.
On the other hand, it does make me feel that "Why is it always me?" feeling!
I am stock. Not rooted.
I have restored the phone to factory settings thinking it will help it. But it hasn't.
I have tried the completely stock and immediately the Android os was keeping phone awake. Then I started disabling Verizon apps, unnecessary g9ogle apps and still I have the os keeping phone awake about 6-7 hours per charge.
What should I do? I've dealt with this on my old nexus 4 and haven't been able to figure out why Android phones are plaged with this Android os wakelock.
I believe this all started when I got the 25b ota. After that I've done a factory restore. I don't have Verizon so I'm not getting any more ota for 26A. Is there a way I can manually flash the newer rom?
No answer for you, but just wanted you to know my battery life with the last 4.4 upgrade just the other day is now miserable. Can not make it a day. Use to be able to get like 2 days. Thinking about just selling the phone, and buying something new cause of it.

Have it installed.. even installed greenify yesterday to see if that helps.. Wiped some of one of the batteries average length per charge and started it fresh today, so I am going to chase it down I hope. Battery shows it's Android. Note 4 anyone? Have to pay full price for it though, can't justify 700 bucks. But I do have a trip coming up where I have to be gone for 2 weeks.. so maybe then?

Looking at the second set of shots, are you on a public/work wifi network? The wlan wakes are what's keeping your phone from sleeping. That can be caused by things like DHCP queries from the network waking it up, etc.. My battery life takes a hit when I use our open network at work, constantly woken up by the wireless lan.
Are you having the same issues off wifi?

Yeah, I normally don't run wifi. I just happened to turn it on today at work. I can let it sit for another 30 mins or so and do the same thing. Phone is at 57% screen on time of 1 hour, I use to get at least 4-5 a while back.
Add me to the list.. I'm stock and after the update a few weeks ago this turd heats up lots, freezes, re-draws home screens VERY slowly, Swype effs up badly now and my battery life is literally about cut in half. This is all after a factory reset after taking the update.

...as I said, I'm stock. My wife has the same phone and hers has no problem, or so she claims. However, her phone is nothing more than a window into the world of Pintrest and Facebook whereas I actually use my device constructively.
I just took the plunge, flashed back to 24a, re rooted, upgrade to 26a, and now it is much better.
Tried to post a pic.. but it is too annoying
26h 20min battery usage,
@24%
screen on time of 3hours.
That is much more in line in what I got when it was new.
So just running it all the way down, 33.5hours of usage @ 5% battery left, 3.5 hours of screen on time.
Much better.
I'll try to grab the battery pics, since I know no one will believe it..
You might want to fresh flash.. not sure what got messed up.. or if it was an app. Even though it was listed as Android system stuff.

after taking a very long time trying to get a bluetooth connection i am now waiting a crazy long time "syncing" ?!
i have then upgraded the software and after 3, yes THREE hours of having the watch and messing around ive now got it working
i absolutely hate saying this but apple would NOT put me thru this
but i hate apple more than VERY slow updates and syncs
just stick with it fellas - i will report back after a couple of days
thanks
Just got mine and connecting Bluetooth was quick, but now I'm stuck on syncing. How long did it take for your to sync? Did you do anything to speed it up?
It took mine about 75 minutes to fully complete the sync process. I'd leave it for a solid 2 hours before becoming worried.
Had the same long initial sync of about an hour as well. Wasn't sure if it had frozen buy left it on the charger until complete and it's fine now.
-- from my S6
I have just got mine for Christmas, and now i try to install it, but after a quick bluetooth connexion, i am now aitig for the synchronization, and i am worried for this because of the long time whitout doing anytihng
Could you tell if there is someting to do during this sync ?
Is it normal it takes a very long time ?
Thnak's a lot.
