[Q] Battery draining fast when turning on 3g and phone is getting extremely hot

Got the z two days back, the ph works fine normally, but as soon as i turn on 3g it gets extremely hot and battery dropped from 100% to 75 in 30 mins. No apps are running in the background. Please help me out...
Dont know what to do. Tried updating firmware, but still the same.

What do you mean by extremely hot? (If you place the phone on your skin then remove, does it change you skin colour to a pink hue?) becuase that is extremely hot for a phone (My HTC running turn by turn navigation did that normally) The battery should not drain that fast, the only suggestion I could make is that you might have a faulty unit, it shouldn't do that.

Have you tried to freeze/disable the fast dormancy app which comes with the stock rom?

It's called "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup".
The files are: "/system/app/fast-dormancy-wakeup.apk" and "/system/app/fast-dormancy-wakeup.odex"
For more relevant info in the Fast Dormancy subject, search it on Google. It can save battery when your provider supports it or drain when it doesn't.

Move the 2 files to another place.
You need root access.

Lag on a very light app

I use the ea fifa companion app and it lags really badly on my phone when I click the menu, is it the phone that is the problem or is it the app. Can anyone confirm it. Thanks in advance.

Might be the CPU underclocking, not giving enough power. Try setting cpu frequencies to minimum over 1ghz and see if it makes a difference! if not, poor coding and optimization.

I tried making the CPU work constantly at 1.5 Ghz but that didn't help. Is it just my phone or is it all Xperia z phones

it s almost about bugs in app. (not enough compatible with xperia z, maybe!)
and now i see the link u sent that it s not compatible at all !!!!
and for this kindda lag u should also check what s happening in background
check background process with ** stock apps manager of Xperia ** and sometimes try to release manually RAM and clear cache.
(it s not about Xperia phones, that because of android and google should work on RAM and Cache management more on android, cause it happens on all smartphones)
:good:

Interesting because the app tells me that is compatible with all my devices.
Just downloaded however you need an account, so can't test it further. But as stated by someone else, is that it runs slow on a number of their devices. So would appear to be a badly written software that has not progressed and been optimised as the android operating systems have. From what I gather it would seem that the software does not support multi core devices

Doubts regarding Stamina mode..

Hi..I have few doubts regarding stamina mode.
1) Does stamina mode downclocks or shuts downs the core when activated? as in does it affect the overall performance?
2) Do you guys always keep the stamina mode ON or only when battery is low?

1. No, and no. Its job is to shut down processes that need internet connection from waking up when the screen is off.
2. On, all the time, with exceptions.

thanks for the link..i have gone through many articles..but wanted to know from user side..

I havnt noted any problems with stamina set at 50% and low battery mode at 30%, still works as it should right down into 10% although I never let it get that low, there is always a place to charge up, wi-fi on saved locations, BT on most of time and gps for navigation, I actually think the battery is fine for me at least

No.
Stamina mode keeps a whitelist of application that is allowed to wake the device for refresh etc. Other than those in whitelist, they can only be active when screen is on.

I noticed that when stamina mode is on my wifi and 3G both works..does that mean stamina mode is not working properly?

arpith.fbi, I think we have mentioned that Stamina mode does NOT stop wifi or 3G connection.

for your kind information mister i do look for information. I was confused coz the sony article says and i quote "Starting one minute after the screen has been turned off, data traffic is automatically blocked and background activities are prevented from waking up the system." taken from http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/04/03/how-sonys-battery-stamina-mode-works/
I get all kind of notification when 3G and wifi is on even after minutes of screen off...thats the doubt..
And if you dont want to help the just dont **** on my thread.!!!

If all the information are clear for you that means your stamina mode is not working as it should,so not a doubt it's a problem with your phone or bug in 4.2.2 if you have it.

see this is called helpful information doubt and problem is narrowed down to 2 things..
fyi i go through 100s of articles and thread before opening up a thread over here.

I didn't replied your quote yesterday waited more users to give you more info,but you took all the information and you still asking that's why.
It was very easy to predict that your phone is misbehaving.
Anyway peace

Digits not showing up when pressed in call

Scenario: on call with any service center, they ask u to press bunch of keys according to which department u r trying to reach.
In my case when I'm in call, I can press the keys on on-screen keyboard and they take effect as required, however I don't see what key I've actually pressed.
Is this common issue for everyone? It's not big of a deal only thing is I need to be very sure what exactly I'm typing even then I would like to fix it, if fix is out there.
I'm guessing it will be fixed with custom Rom or an update so I'm not worrying too much (but that seems bit far fetched - due to bootloader camera issue )

You probably have Screen Adjuster installed in your phone. If you do that is the culprit to your problem.

Well I've installed bunch of launchers and widgets, few games. I don't recall installing something along the lines of "screen adjuster". Is there a way to find app responsible? Or do I have to uninstall one app at a time and try?

Any idea?
Thanks

Hello if you looked at screenshots, its from betterbatterystats...

Give the phone to sony and let them repair your power button. Then flash a stock 4.3 ftf and report back

I'm sorry, I couldn't see the screenshots before. You'll need a better BBS log, it would be much more reliable if you would post a log from overnight. Those one hour logs can't always give a clear enough picture. Make sure you don't use your phone, so we have a completely idle log.
Check the BBS thread for AlarmManager, that should already give you quote some pointers to work with.

Well, without a better log, we can't help you. 'Android System' contains just too much functions. It shouldn't be a problem to just get an idle log off 4hrs or more, to help solve your problem, right?

In the above quoted thread someone said the majority of the alarm manager wakelooks being Google Talk and Facebook. I concur and think these are among the first things to kick from the phone. Do you also have NFC on? Widgets on your screen?
Actually it sounds as if you did already a lot. I am not sure if I would further bother with this ROM,whatever it is.

Some disabled apps still "work" in the background. NFC for example. Or GTalk.
Investigation of these sort of wake-locks can be tedious. Unless you see it as an interesting task Did you consider simply re flashing it?
