[Q] Somebody has first-day tips/tricks? First Battery charge? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I come from the Xperia Play section, which is awesome and supporting, so I hope this one will be too
I got this phone today and I was wondering how to make the best of it (I know BL unlock and root is the xda way, but I'm not in a rush for doing it yet cause I want to experience stock FW and see if Sony did a good work on it).
The thing that concerns me the most is the first battery charge. I chose this phone for the size and battery duration but I'm afraid to screw it by charging it wrong the first time. Also, is it better to charge it when the phone is off or on? is it ok (or not damaging) to charge it during all night?
Hope you answer quickly before stock battery charge runs out. I'll do my best to help this new community

Our Phone has a lion battery so you dont need to discharge to 0%. You can just charge from 10%to 100% and will be great. There is no need to calibrate battery or something. Just charge like everyday. I charge my Phone during day because i dont want to charge whole night

@mosespl Thanks for your reply. So I' leave it to discharge until its 10% and then charge during 2 hours until it's 100%. How much batttery time do you get with a normal (medium) usage?

You must remember than li-on battery doesnt like to be discharged. So keep Phone alive and charge to 100% and unplug. I use magnetic cable with original adapter

wow... aged phone xperia play, the same age with my old SE Arc.
This board isn't many guys because some guys went to z1 board because we share pretty much the same stock roms and same problem and same mods with our big brother z1.

2 days in my case is normal of moderate using

Just the same problem we have on Xperia play and neo L, the only SE devices on the zeus board while the other 2011 devices are on mogami board. Our kernel developers soon moved to newer devices so we never had a fully functional 3.4 kernel, and no kitkat. The issue is so bad that we are just getting a WIP version of CM11 with wifi and camera broken.... The mogami devices got stable CM11 in February or March...
Neo L and Play roms and mods are usable on both devices ( not kernels) so its useful to browse both forums. I guess I'll have to do the same with z1 and z1c forums. Thanks for the tip

This problem is much better since the hardware is much more similar on z1 and z1c. We can flash z1's kernels and roms with just little changes. Camera is same so we can flash the z1's 4k and timeshift mod.

Just to stress that again: Li-Ion batteries don't like low as well as permanently high states of charge and also not high temperatures. It's best to keep them between 30% and 90%, if you really want to make them last long just charge whenever a charger is at hand, but stop at 90%. The LED turns green at 90% anyway and charging time increases because the phone basically switches to trickle charging.

This is not real needed again because modern Li-ion battery already got a safe margin like 10% at upper and lower limit in the circuit and battery capacity. You never actually 100% full charge or 0% used up whole battery though the phone display 100% and 0%. However, some cheap China rubbish battery need be careful as they don't have the extra capacity space.

Afaik they specifically don't do that because a) it would make their battery life worse in comparison at the same capacity and b) that would mean trickle charging starts at 80-85% which would be unnecessary, they could just charge at full speed.

Wow I hope there will always people who can compile z1 kernels for our z1c and maybe this phone will be compatible with future android versions. SE 2011 devices can use kitkat but have not enough cache space for ART, so they have to use regular dalvik... I hope this phone will last in my pocket at least 2 years

The stock kernel and rom from Sony on z1 and z1c is exactly same, you should realize they are almost identical. z1c just got a smaller screen and smaller battery, all other things is same.
Customer kernel on the other hand will need little changes to make it real works on z1c but not that real hard.

Smaller screen = different screen and especially digitizer, doesn't that mean a different driver?

Not sure but I flashed the Z1 RomAur V9.1 rom got no problem at all on touch screen. And I see folks just do little changes on Z1 DooMKernel(both 4.4.2 and 4.4.4) then it works on Z1c.
I think as long as you don't try to enable the Pen Mode, then it should be no problem.

I'm also using 9.1, it doesn't include a kernel.

Htc One X -battery life

hello everyone, i am new to this community, sorry for my bad english, i would need some help. i have a htc one x for several weeks now, and i have a hudge problem with the battery life on this device, im a really hudge fan of htc, but im dissapointed, so for example, i have 9/10 lines of battery life in my settings menu, i plug it in , and start playing dead space, after 40 mins of playing the battery actually dropped by 2 lines , and i had left 7/10 lines of battery. how is that even possible??! all the phones i had, laptops, etc that require a battery worked in the folowing order: if you plug it in and took the battery out, it still worked, so if you had the battery in, it both keept alive the phone/laptop/every device on the world, while charging the battery, so if you use it, it wont loose power, but gained it. i wached a lot of videos and posts of people explaning hot to get more guice out of htx one x , and some wore like, well , dont use it too much, or do ont turn on your phone to see the clock cause it will save some battery..... ?!?! well i dodn't pay a ton of money to have a phone in my pocket and not be able to see what the time is, or play something/ lisen to music , without actually noticing that in 2-3 hours i wont be able to make a call, yes its a strong phone, and verry good one, by design, by hardware, and software, but the sad thing is the battery, does anyone have a mirracoulous tip for me? and perhaps others as well... (oh and i charged it as ppl from htc told me, first three times with the battery empty for 8 hrs..)
the battery will run out whilst charging, under heavy usage, because the phone is using more power than the charger can provide.
laptop chargers can handle this, simply because the charger provides more power to it. (and the fact laptop batteries tend to be several times the size of the hox)
you should only find that whilst using a battery/cpu intensive task such as navigation (it uses GPS, data sometimes, and the screen is on) that the charger won't be enough, but for most other things, like general web browsing etc, the charger will do it quickly enough
the screen is what takes basically all of the battery, so you can reduce that by making the screen brightness a bit less bright..
the battery life when the screen is off is incredible. WAY better than any other phone i've had. when the screen is off, the phone uses about 1% battery every 2 hours or so. and that was with wifi etc connected and autosync still switched on.
whether the phone will last you all day or not, depends on your usage. if it doesn't, then either make the brightness even lower, or you can purchase a portable charger. or a battery case.
there's no point saying well other phones have better battery life like an iphone. lets be realistic, the iphone DOES NOT have better battery life. it may have had decent standby battery life, but so does tegra 3, probably better than iphone now. when you actually use an iphone, or any other smartphone for that fact, the battery disappears just as quickly as this one does.
Tegra 3 standby is awesome. Just tried an experiment. Please note that this is with 3g or WiFi on all this time and with auto sync.
Again this is just to demonstrate standby time.
For the op, are you sure you don't have a rogue app? Also are you using an HTC charger?

i know stand by is awseome, and i am using the original out of the box charger and cable, but i might go ahead since i know a thing or two about electronics and modify the charger at 2 amps vs 1 amp currently.. this will give me faster charging, but im still researching, cuz i have second toughts
p.s. do you have a costum rom? it doesent look like a prtscreen from htc one x

Unlikely. Unless the phone knows it can draw 2 amps, it has to assume a 1A capable charger (designated by connecting the data pins together).

I used it all 11 hours. Mostly reading second book of Game of Thrones in Kindle app. Checked some net sites, xda forum app, some blogs. Few calls and texts. All the time on wifi. Was sick in bed. Auto brightness, but as my eyes didn't liked strong sun is can say that it was quite dim inside.
But it probably depends on usage. Yesterday I was reading on the beach and I had 4 hours screen on time. Probably brightness all the way up as it was quite hot sunny day.
On normal day I get 4-5 hours screen on time.
Full stock One X.

batteries nowadays can resist pretty much, and unlike a laptop battery that has a chip in it and it records every charge, and then after x charges it suddeny stops working correctely this is cuz of the company chip they insertet to make is useless after x charges, a phone battery is just a normal one, this is tested, i opened a laptop battery and took the chip out, and via com port on pc, i was able to retrive the data storred by the company that produced it, but was not able to reset it, (comsporacy) lol . so i will buy a htc battery, not necesarry one x's and i will test it my charging it a couple o times bowth with the amp maxed, from 1 to 2 (1,1..1,2 etc) and voltage from 5 to 10 V, maby ill get a result, that is a little better than the technique i saw a couple pages away about charging your phone, then powerring it off, charging it again, then pwr on charging it again etc, forgot the method name, but in my opinion bubjecting a rechargable battery to so manny fluctuations of current in so little time does not sound good, my idea of amping the charger or the voltage by just a little sounds a little better in my opinion

you have a lot to learn then.. Batteries can explode, and they do: here's a video of some guys iphone setting on fire in his back pocket, turned out to be the battery that caused it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIRXDeEzlcw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
That isn't my pure reasoning behind my thoughts anyways, whatever experiments you do with higher amp chargers won't do anything, because the phone won't accept more charge than the circuitry allows. Which happens to be a safe amount for the battery. This is so the battery doesn't get damaged, and in some circumstances, set on fire or explode.
If you take the battery out and start prodding things at it and take it over its limits, be prepared for fire or explosion. Like Ben said, put yourself and only yourself at risk if you choose to do it.. And be wise and have a fire extinguisher ready.

I've been having the same issue as well. The stock ROM on HTC one X drains the battery rapidly. For me, In normal day which includes listening to music, playing games, browsing and making calls, my battery would last maximum up to 20 hours; meaning that every night when I go to bed I had to charge it for the next day.
This problem was battling me a lot. I learned that the stock ROM is taking advantage of all (4) CPU's and memory even while in idle. The whole battery consumption relies on the CPU usage and Memory management.
I moved to a custom ROM called ViperX 2.6.0. I'm very satisfied with the result. It seams that they've managed the CPU and memory in a very good and neat way. The ROM has a lot of tweaks.By default, when installing the fresh ROM and wiping the battery stat, the battery would last one and half a day. By doing a number of simple tweaks such as disabling the animations on transitions, disable fast dormancy and disable smart sync you can have the battery up to two days.
Check the attachment, it's a screen shot of my battery usage.
Hope this helps.

How the hell are you getting this much screen time ?!
I dim the screen to the lowest brightness and disable
sync and sometimes in flight mode, and I can hardly get
3h of screen time! I mostly read on it, so it shouldn't
be battery intensive.
oh, and If I use it outside it lasts even less 2-2.5h.
What's your secret?
Oh and I use the latest CM10, and downclock my
cpu to 800-1000mhz

Then your phone is knackered.
I can get 4+hrs screen on time with auto brightness, auto sync, stock cpu levels with wifi on.
That's no secret, that's just what it does.
As for 'just reading' - you can easily get over 13hrs screen on time with lowest brightness & flight mode - I've tested it myself on the Kindle app.

AOSP roms get much less battery life than Sense roms, 3hrs screen on time is about average.
I'm currently running CM10 with Neo kernel 7.2 @ 1.3GHz and getting almost 4hrs screen on time. With Faux kernel it was usually around 3hrs.
Chrisjcks, what do u mean by "your phone is knackered"?!
Its a new phone! I just got it 2 weeks ago.
Michealtbh, it may be somthing with the APOP rom, but I really
hate using sense ... I want to try this Neo Karnel first,
Can I just flash it on my cm10? (without wipe)
Where can I get it?
How do I know which kernel is im my current rom?

Your phone is fine.
You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873615
You have to flash the boot.img through fastboot then the modules in recovery. You're probably using CM10 kernel atm

Ok, but don't moan of battery if you are running a beta (alpha) custom rom.
The HTC ONE X battery is fine, especially after the sense 4.1/4.0.4 upgrade from 2.17
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Michealtbh, Thanks!
I'll try that soon. (it's stable, right?)
I'm now testing the new Nightly.. it's real good and battery life,
seems promising, looks like I'll get 3.5-4h of screen time there
(No sync with low brightness though)
chrisjcks, I'm not using alpha roms, just the stable ones.
and this DOES feel very bad battery life to me, I come to the hox
from Motorola milestone, and there I could easily get 7-8 hours
of screen time with wifi. (and it has smaller battery and 40% overclocked!!)
How much do you get on the new stock?
When I was on stock i remember it ran out after half a day,
only using it for music and taking some videos.
Battery life varies a lot. On stock in London I get a full day screen time of around 2-3 hours with 3G on all the time. Which for me is fine.
Last weekend I was in Portsmouth and the signal was very patchy and my phone died within 10 hours. Hardly any screen on time.
So it does really depend and will vary for user to user depending on your signal and how the phone is set up.
Mine is usually on auto brightness, and auto syncing on.
Today I've been at home as I've got a damn cold but my screen on time is over 4 hours in good signal and wifi. Same setup. So you can gather from this that signal, data used, etc can affect battery life in many ways.

Poor battery, suggested solutions?

Hi all,
I am using the international version of the G4 and the battery life is quite poor. I am not a heavy user, bit of social media, music for a couple of hours and a little internet. I need to charge at around 3pm or it won't last until 7pm.
I've previously been very active in the modding of Samsung devices, but kept this un-rooted until now.
I am considering either rooting or flashing a custom ROM to get better battery life. I am more than happy with the G4 UI, so this is purely for power purposes.
Does anyone have a recommendation? Is it best to root and tweak or just flash a decent ROM? I had my eye on the 7 HD ROM.
Would appreciate some help.
Thanks!
When you want to stay by the stock rom, than its my experience to do nothing...
The nice CTT Mod gives you a little bit more performance and less heat but more battery draining :/
A costume rom can help because less usage of the cpu. But the stock rom is so nice ^^
Do you use the original charger? When I use my old Sony Ericsson 0,7A charger I have the feeling that the battery doesnt have the normal power....

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's the original charger, so no issues there. I think it's a G4 issue rather than my device as I had it swapped out recently and it's very similar on the battery life.
I am leaning towards doing nothing with Android 6 coming in December.

- Tell us your screen on time and your run time at the end of the cycle iw when battery is around 5-10%. Look in settings, battery, look at the list for screen click it and it should tell you how long its been on. Better still, post screen grabs of the battery usage, showing the graph of your usage with the list below it, so we can see which apps are the top consumers.AND the one with the screen showing how long its been on.
- Are you using this on wifi only, data only or a mix of the two ? how high is your brightness. auto adjusts and isn't very meaningful. so put it on manual and tell us what figure you are comfortable with.
- how much screen on time you need as well as run time so we can tell how close or far it is from your expectations.
- how long have you had the G4, how many charge cycles has it had. If you've had it for a while, is this something that developed after some time or was it always like this since you got it.
There are a lot of reasons battery can be low, we know very little about your use right now.
Screen 16%
Android OS 13%
Phone 11% (haven't actually made a call today)
Android System 9%
Spotify 9%
Google Play Services 6%
Cell Standby 5%
I'm using it mostly on 3G/4G, but turning wifi on when needed.
The phone one is a bit curious....
Sorry i need to see time figures in hours and minutes. percentages tell me nothing.
when the battery is 5-10 % how long is your sot.
And how long has it been runnning.
How long have you had this device ?
3g/4g is going to take a toll on the battery depending on the signal, whether you are stationary or moving when accessing data.

Better to get it running normally under stock first. And i don't know if thats the case right now.

Android os sounds like autosync+GPS

Android system looks normal at 9% but still need a sot / time the phone was on for the period u recorded those stats.
Might wanna have a go at BBS and give us something solid to look at, that alone will help a great deal in solving the issue

How to make fast charging work till 100% rather than 70% in Zenfone 2 Ze551ml??

is there any way to charge ze551ml fast till 100%??? it only charge fast till 70% then very slow charging. Any kernel changes or any tweak that can make it possible, please tell me.
That way you get Galaxy Bomb 7.
If it fast charged up to 100% it would significantly shorten your battery's life.
You can't. This is intentionally made to prevent your battery from overcharged.
It's not the kernel problem, it's the hardware

You CAN, but you need to build your kernel yourself as you need to modify the battery driver.
As this is not recommended (like AT ALL), you won't be seeing someone offering such a kernel

There's no way for ZE551ML in terms of software, well incase there is, you'll just end up torturing your phone's battery as if it only supports 60℅ for 40mins, notice that your phone gets hotter and getting warmer over time after it hits the threshold, it is required to prevent your phone's battery from taking too much heat for a long period of time.
Perhaps just buy a new phone like Galaxy S7, LG G5, etc. that supports Quick Charge 3.0 atleast they have upgraded its components in terms of hardware to support faster charging.

Batteries need a balanced charge for longevity.
You could fast charge from zero to 100% but expect to kill a battery once a month.
Smart phones hey lmao
That's no necessary, just decrease a little time.
Buy the ZenPower.
Maybe adding a temperature check while charging could make it possible without explosions
I'd rather not cook my phone. Thank you very much. Lol

It's enough to make my phone as hot as iron, no more! LMAO.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Best SOT ever
I used the phone for 1 day and 12 hours
Since unpluged it was full brightness
Not even I know how i got so much SOT
Was not gaming
WiFi and Data always on
Location on
And was last two days about all the time browsing
Look at the pictures
EDIT
This pictures are not the max sot I have got..it gets a bit more then this..
But what I need to add now is...I use it allways at full brightness with
the display settings .. I use the smart brightness and turn also all the other
''good stuff'' settings on...
And that way I have this max of 9 hours.. so I do not go easy on it to save battery or something
I go full power..with all those ''smart'' settings turned on..
And if not used to much you can go easy two days...easy

I think personally the XA1 Ultra has a super efficient battery which many will think 2700mAh is not enough but with it having a 6" screen many would think it wouldn't last but it has proven otherwise. Such a beautiful phone, looks and feels like a high end device and many work colleagues love the look and size of the device.
I also suggest buying the UCH-12 quick charger (just under 2 hours from 0-100) as it knocks off just over an hour compared to the normal charger supplied which is the UCH-20 (3 hours from 0-100%). Also, don't forget to grab the Battery Care APK from APKMirror too.
Overall, I love this device and definitely look forward to Android Oreo running on this alongside my trusty Xperia X!
Hii @LevsOG
First of all thanks for the advice for the charger
I just orderd one today for my xa1 ultra
Will test it and report back
One thing I have noticed today
Sony recommends for our model to use the UCH12W version not the UCH12 version
Then I have found out from users that there is no big deal difference between that two chargers
Only the cable would be different
If you go online and look for the price you will see
That the 12W costs 3 times more then the 12 version charger
And if you type just the name of the UCH12 charger
On the sony official site it is stated that the cheaper model does support our model.. But you need the right cable for it or the one wich you get out of the box
So, I also looked at the Spec
And there is no difference between the UHC12 and UCH12W
Only the price is much much more to pay.. Like 60 dollars and 20 dollars
And Sony stated that both supports xa1 ultra
The 60 dollars one by default
And the 20 dollars one with the right cable
Only big difference is.. One is the latest the other older model
So I got me the 20 dollars one
Will report back
And the last thing
Thanks for all the pictures you have showed in the attachment
EDIT 01:
This are the chargers..
Look for yourself..they are the same spec..
And one is like 20 dollars the other is like 60 dollars..
This one is the older model and look that Sony says it is recommended
https://support.sonymobile.com/au/quickchargeruch12/faq/
This one here is the new one a much more expensive..
https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/quick-charger-uch12w/specifications/
Just google a bit they are the same..
Happy charging
Please give some pictures

Hi there, sorry to hear you're experiencing problems with your charger!
The stock one originally supplied takes upto 3 hours from 0-100% whereas the quick charger takes just under 2 hours from 0-100% as I've plugged in both and seen the difference myself.
I have been using the UCB-20 cable that was originally supplied in the box, and the one received with the quick charger is the same model but produced on a different week compared to the other one, there is no difference between each cable although on the inside of the Type C connector it looks slightly different but either cable I've used are absolutely fine.
Also I'm on the latest UK firmware 42.0.A.4.133, no root or custom ROM's for me as of yet...

Hi there,
As you can guess I'm here because I need some help and some information. I hardly just arrived to this world of rooting. I would like to get an AOSP ROM for my Sony Xperia xa1 ultra devide (G3221) but after several days searching I concluded that find it is harder than I thought
Can someone help me, please?
A simple link could save my life
Thank you

Sony Xperia XA1 not quick charging

My new Xperia XA1 (G3121) is not quick charging using the original UCH12. I installed the ampere app to check. And the UCH12 doesn't charge any faster over the stock charger.
What's even stranger, is that I already had this UCH12 with my previous phone, the Xperia Z5C, and it did use the quickcharge capabilities.
I took my old Z5C back out of storage and tested both devices with the ampere app. The Z5C was allowing a whopping 3850 mamp! Whilst the XA1 doesn't come any further then just under 1000mamps. The voltage also doesn't get lifted over 4v.
Is there some kind of hidden setting that I need to toggle?? I was under the impression that the XA1 does support the QC2.0. What am I doing wrong?
Hi
I think that you've programs that battery drain on background
Nope, it's the same with all background apps closed. Even when it's turned off it charges in the same time with the UCH12 and UCH20.
I think it's because of an update, because it's the same for me now... ?
Just chiming in here, I just got the phone and updated to the latest November patch. The phone only seems to charge properly and quick charge when the phone is turned off. Looks like the problem is software related (at least my problem).
When it's turned on, the phone seems to charge a little bit then drain. Which is confusing at best.

Are you sure you have genuine original UCH12? There are a lot of fake UCH12s on the market. All logos and labels are almost the same. I hit one fake UCH12 charger. It was supposed to be an OEM without original package.
SONY logo is written in different font. On the back in tiny letters is written brand "Sany" made in "Iapan". Very difficult to notice the difference. What more, this kind of charger supports QC3.0, but not PumpExpress2.0 which is supported by XA1.
How can you see charging voltage in Ampere app? I though it is not supported by software.
(I used this fake charger only for few minutes. Maybe it was enough to damage touchscreen)
