T-Mobile video chat application finally supports NS!

The application had FC problem, but today I received an update. Lo and behold, the FC is gone now, and it should be possible to make video chatting.
Give it a try.

installed this but haven't made any calls yet...However, this morning I woke up and my phone was dead (went to sleep with 70%) did a logcat this and the tmo qik app was waaaaaay to overactive (keep in mind I haven't used it and it has constant activity???)... battery killer, needs more work...uninstalled

Interesting, it has literally used no battery on my phone ( doesn't even show up in the list). I wonder what is causing it to use so much battery.

Finally
Finally. Now I can video chat with my brother and sister-in-law and their MT4Gs.
In terms of battery life, my phone hasn't been showing any change in battery life. It's always running in the background, but it hardly takes up anything. All I did was disable the auto sync. What's the point in syncing your contacts every few days? They're hardly gonna change. Only so many people get phones with ffc, much less install qik. If one of your contacts happens to get qik, or remove it, but didn't tell you, it was probably for a reason

I hope this is a precursor to T-mobile offering it's wifi calling app to all android phones.

Welcome to this phone and forum!
To your question:
You'll have to downgrade to 4.2.2 and use easy rooting method. After you've rooted your phone update via ota to 4.3.

Batterylife depends on usage. If you're a heavy user your battery won't last long.
Mine lasts about 14 hours when I'm not at home (I use a bluetooth headset for listening to music - about 4 hours per day, mobile data, auto brightness etc). When I don't need wifi or mobile data etc I turn it off. I suggest you to do the same.
Also if your phone is new it'll take some time for the battery, just use it a few days normally and you will see that your battery life will improve.

Deactivate some bloatware with Titanium and Greenify some apps. Also if you don't use LTE deactivate it/choose for example 3G in setting.
And use stamina mode.
This will save a lot. I saved a lot with this little actions.
But you have to root your Z as first to do that.
Also there is a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/battery-life-how-to-to-7-hours-screen-t2382712
Just give a look.

When did you buy it? Go to the store where you bought it and tell them, that it was broken when you got it.
If that doesn't work send it to sony for repair

Hi!
Do You have any app using battery alot in "battery managment" in settings??
If the phone getting hot from the battery side (center of the back panel) so there is something may be really wrong
And if the heat come from the CPU side(near camera) so there is app running at background and use the battery,
Try factory reset, if not helped flash a stock rom with flashtool

Yes but you cant do that yourself you need to take it to sony service center and tell them whats the problem.
If you have warrenty so the repair will be for free but if not so you need to pay for it.

Your wifi is showing as on there? Do you have location based wifi on? Turn it off.
Also, do you know about Google services draining battery? Make sure GPS is off, stop the service, unintelligible updates to Google play services & reboot.

Did your phone feel warm when it is turned off? And does it take a very long time to turn it back on after the battery completely drained? I think we have the same problem

Need help, big issues

Hello, fellas, I bought the E6553 and it was updated to 32.2.A.0.253, I disabled the bloatware that I'm not using, but the phone is heating too fast and too much even when only being here in XDA labs. The screen brightnes is like half, and I can almost cook eggs on my E6553, I get 50k on Antutu... is a factory reset an option, or should I make a PC Companion repair?

Will someone help me ?

This phone heats up and it's quite normal. You can try many options but the best one is to get rid of it.
I've got mine as gift so don't have invoice and warranty card so cannot sell it easily.
Or
You can try underclock the cpu. Further check the Rev of phone on the box. Mine is Rev 2 and it's gets hot easily. Rev 5 is said be cool one.

I'm considering flashing fresh new ftf from flashtool, but will this make atleast a little bit differense at all?
By the way, my phone came with 6.0.1 installed, with chinese language and Z5's dark theme, that means that someone has done that, can this be the reason or whatever?

I flashed a stock .ftf, but the bugs are still there, what if I go back to Lollipop ?

I agree this reads like somebody just thinking sh*t in their head after a long night of drinking lol.
And driving while posting on XDA? He's better off just leaving the phone plugged in at home before he causes an accident.
