I've finally gave up my hopes on iPhone. I've tried jailbreak and beta ios 7. But I've never gotten any satisfaction like android would.
This sony is amazing btw! Coming from Samsung galaxy s3 to note 2 to iPhone 5. Yeah I know...
Anyways, it's been less than 24 hours with this phone. I do miss unlocked bootloader and being able to safely root the phone. Anyways I'll get my modding started once I've rooted my phone!
Any suggestion on accessories and Roms to try?

My wife has got the iPhone 5 and when she asks me to do something on it i have learned my lesson and just say no strait away now I can't stand them (I racist with the iphones), I tell you what let's design a phone which you can only turn on/off/make phone calls and download some pointless game, then stick a apple on the back and call it the world's best phone.
We all pay a lot off money to BUY the up to date phones and see what they can do unlocking bl rooting ect. (if they break it they might buy another one)
Any way sorry for going off on one about iPhone at least this is the general section
Roms wise there has just been a Sony update rolling out so with take a little while for cookers to cook them up, the rom I use is a good one but has it own little bugs in it. Just test and see what you like

I just realized our phone comes with screen protector already installed!
One less thing to worry and spend money on!
I'm still debating if I should root the phone or not. It seems like very risky or prone to bricking the device.
Anyhow, is the battery quickly draining normal?
Seems like the battery isn't optimized.
(charged it to full last night) and within minutes, like 5% were gone!
Also I see that the media server is really talk g up the cpu. Can't seem to disable it. Any suggestions?

You probably mean the Anti-Shatter Film (ASF), which is pre-installed on your phone, contains the Sony logo, cannot be removed easily (removing it voids your warranty!) and is not very scratch-resistant unfortunately.
It's highly recommended to apply a screen protector on top of it, as soon as possible, before it's scratched! In some territories (e.g. Germany), Sony even includes a screen protector in the box.
U need to be rooted to freeze certain apps and i always have great battery life. But make sure ur GPS is off that ur emails account don't sinc like crazy also I have basically every sony app either uninstalled or frozen. I am on 13 and a half hours. With 5 and half hours screen on time and still have 29% battery left. And mediaserver is an android related issue. As soon u listen to any type of music it will come on and never quit running afterwards. No matter if music player or so one of the biggest one is probably Spotify really battery drainer. But u can improve ur battery if u use stamina mode on the xperia z.

Thanks for the tip!
I have an insurance although they are over priced (t-mobile $10 a month)
So I will be rooting the phone tonight and read various steps and tutorials on how to. Fairly simple enough.
Now about the media server issues. Does having widget (video/music) will kill the battery? I don't really listen to music on my phone. But I'm not sure where the media server is turning on in the background (I've killed all the task as well)

Honestly tho, the beta ios 7 isn't as smooth as you might think. It feels like stuck butter at time to time and some of the animations are just too slow. Where as in android, we can control that. Personally, I like customization over the simple and cartoon like interface.
Now that being said, I'm not saying ios isn't any competition. It is and it always will be. Therefore, we'll see improvements being made for either platforms.
I don't really miss much about ios. After all, I felt like I hit the limit on how much I can do and utilize in a smartphone.
I do like the new interface and whatnot. But it stops there. This is the reason why I really missed my android.
I never thought that jailbreak would give me powerful tools to play with. But it was way too buggy and I've had to restart my phone like every hour. More like 'jail lock'
Now back to xperia z. I've noticed today that the battery has been terrible. (little over 24 hours)
Here is my battery life picture. (also stamina is enabled along with various other features to save juice )

Youve got pretty bad battery life.if its a new xz or if u ve flashed a new firmware, wait for a week till the battery adjusts to the hardware.
If its a old xz and u have significant batt loss ,then what I would do is reset using pc suite or root my device.
There's a new firm rollin out, so update to it and check ur batt usage

Two of them are in the very same section where you created this thread.

If you aren't comfortable flashing a new rom and/or freezing system apps, give the "2x battery" app a try. It certainly is an improvement to the stock battery life.
I really want to flash one but the program I need to install on my cpu won't install... I keep getting error msgs and no one has been able to give me a solution why yet.
I used to have an htc fuze and flashed roms almost daily so I have the knowledge but my machine isn't cooperating with the needed download to unlock.
Ill try the 2x battery, thank you for the help.

Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.

I have no media files on my storage, all my music is via GOOGLE PLAY.
(the wakelock is not caused by google play because since I booted the phone I have not listened to any music)
There seems to be a fix for the problem, haven`t used it myself though. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050252. Its a init.d script at boot and you need root.
I wish to avoid rooting my device. when I bought the nexus I wanted to have a vanilla Google experience.

I remember one time, I left a game without closing the game. 5 hours later my battery dipped and I tried to figure out why. I realized that the game was still running in the background and drained a good 30% of my battery because of the mediaserver. I know it was still actice cuz when I hit recent it picked up exactly where I left off with no lag jumping back into it.
I'm guessing the game isn't coded to freeze in the background when you leave it. I could be wrong, but this is one possibility I think.
I'm on PA, with the matrix kernel. The game is called PAD in case anyone wants more info. I say, just be sure to exit games or generally certain apps when you finish playing them.
This only happened once and since then never again since I started closing that particular app correctly. Also, I don't mess with any music volume booster mods. Just get some noise isolating earbuds/headphones. The volume booster mods definitely killed battery much quicker than it was worth with my first nexus 4
I close everything and still got 1.5h of AudioOut_2 and AudioOut_3 wakelock overnight . 20% battery drain overnight. normally my battery drains 5-6% overnight.

Maybe there is a corrupt file on your phone, it doesn't have to be music, could also be a ringtone or a video.
considering you don't want to root I would consider factory reset then reinstall 1 app at a time until you find the culprit. I know it's time consuming but it's either that or keep your charger handy

Hello,
In my opinion is enough.I have P700(l7),and after i change it room(cyanogen 10) whit a couple of tweaks is a beter phone.But is my opinion.I have now a faster phone for browsing,facebook and games.
HI.
It's a terrible device.
Lag lag lag lag la- you get it.
I can recommend a phone for you.
But I live in New Zealand, if you could get me the price for the l7 in USD, and I will guarantee to find the best phone.
Don't look at my rank, I had an old account which I can't log into, which was a really high rank.

But I live in New Zealand, if you could get me the price for the l7 in USD, and I will guarantee to find the best phone.
Don't look at my rank, I had an old account which I can't log into, which was a really high rank.

The fact that you use the word rank shows it's not high
This site doesn't have "Ranks"

I agree with you!!:good:
It's a pretty neat phone when you upgrade it to JellyBean. Just a few lags, overall pretty smooth! Totally worth it for basic use, although I wouldn't recommend for extreme gaming and heavy use.
Now i installed avatar rom from a polish site.Look very well and smoot.I al so instaled a few tkeaks(crossbreader and ac!d sound).

For for texting, calling, browsing the Web and if by "the basics" you don't mean Facebook or Gmaps (which are memory hogs) then I recommend the L7. But NOT with stock rom, I use Cyanogen nighlty, Gandalf kernel and 4cyl turbo and I'm quite happy with the performance.

"No lags"
I don't think it means what you think it means.
Two very bad things about this device:
1.Bad screen
2.Bad battery performance
others can be tolerated.

Screen viewing angle is bad. You can see it only at 90 degrees, and if you are inside. Outside even on cloudy weather you cant see goddamn thing on it. Google for l7 reviews. Also battery drains too quickly even on standy. Its little better if you turn off wifi during inactivity. Best is if you put your phone in airplane mode. I think thats due some modem/baseband problems on some networks. I use european open rom on T-mobile, maybe on some other networks battery performs better...
did I mention non-existing oleophobic screen coating?
1. Very good thing about l7... LAUNCHER IS AWESOME.. i newer saw such swift and fluid launcher like this LGUI 3.0.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll go with it anyway for mum, it's the cheapest phone I can get in here, and she only needs it to call me over with Viber or text me through WhatsApp & look at the news from time to time.
Cheers

I got it and Im pretty happy with it, if you flash CM10, V2.1.1 kernel, turn on things in performance and phone does work with almost no laggs in games, launcher or everything.
Screen is pretty screwed because of angle and brightness, but its okay.
Battery drain issue can be fixed by buying better battery via eBay like this:

its cheap and better than original
Is that battery any good ?

Yeah it is, I use it on everyday use and I have to charge it every 2 days with a lot of using (games, 3G, WIFI, skype, facebook).
RIL-FD
anybody knows what this wakelock is?
its always keeping my phone awake for 3 to 5 hours when im not using it
its killing my battery life, because my phone is practically unable to sleep
i tried google but all i get are secril fd results
if anyone knows what this is or how to fix it would be a big help

i do know it, i have been investigating about it without much success.
Mainly i can make it dissapear for half day if i use WIFI, once wifi is enabled the wake lock dissapears when i stop using wifi or do an experiment with it.
but somehow the error comes back once in a while, after a reboot, or after charging it.
no kernel fix it, no Rom fix it, im putting my hopes on CM

i removed fast dormancy and ril-fd is no more (im on crash rom atm where i found a cooked setting to turn off FD).
so this might be related to fast dormancy, i dont want to root this phone yet for certain reasons so i might try switching carriers, maybe it'll help

there are pre-rooted stock roms which are not supposed to increase the flash counter.
And i confirmed it, i toggled FD and the wakelockappeared, changed roms and tried that again, and the WL dissapeared.
But still my battery life sucks though, getting a honami when its out.

honami is the code name for the i1(naming confirmation pending from sony, will be disclosed at IFA or so we hope).
after A LOT of hate which went throught the phone, i updated the arrow rom to 5.1, deactivated FD, and nothing,i was getting 10% in 3 hours, for some reason i dont remember i rebooted the phone, and the darn phone still have the same charge from yesterday te phone have 24 hours of uptime (taking in account i have done some serious undervolt to the phone). i was getting about an hour per % an a half with hangouts and whatsapp freezed and in NO use or just checking the bat.
Not bad but too much work to have a "regulary updated" phone to work properly.
now i dont even know what will happen when i recharge the phone again what kind of behaivor will have this darn non-optimized phone I'll be reporting what happens.
