Custom security fixes

I have Z1C with stock firmware 14.3.A.757. It's rooted. I like it battery usage and don't want to upgrade to Lollipop, because it drains battery. But I know, that Android 4.4.2 has some vulnerabilities, so I would like to fix them "manually". Is there a way to apply a liitle patch for it like hotfixes in Windows?

Nope you can't

How long does Z1C works with last LP firmware? Is there a way to make work it over 3 days?

I don't understand you question?i got uptime for 2 weeks if you ask that...

An easy fix for the stagefright vulnerability is just to switch off MMS autodownload in the settings of your SMS/MMS app.
Best, maris

Do you have UPTIME for 2 weeks on Xperia Z1C? Not airplane mode, but hard usage??? With LP firmware???

Not uptime without charge,with no reboot,battery lasts same as on kitkat for me and it's 1.5 days ~5.5sot of my usage

Can you show screenshot of battery usage please?
Now I have about 3-4 days on Z1C with Android 4.4.2.
I want 4.4.4, but I don't know how to get it with root and ability to install it from TWRP.

Here's my usage with stock rooted 5.0.2.

Are you unsing Facebook or Whatsapp? When I installed LP (stock) I had poor battery life, top consumers were Apps with Internet connection like FB, Whatsapp, Chrome. They would keep the mobile radio active (bug?). Battery life was 1 day, now, after downgrading to KK, I get 3 days.

Using facebook lite,whatsapp,chrome and i kill wakelocks with amplify
I got almost no drain at night on wifi and 3g,i loose like 2% for 8 hrs so i think my phone is normal...

Thank you!
I see your screenshot and I think, your uptime is hardly equal 2 days, about 1.5
So I will not update to LP. I will disable MMS and will live fine

I see what you're saying, but I hardly doubt you have 4 hours screen on time over those 2 days. Screen kills the battery most, and I haven't used stamina mode yet.
It's up to you, but I think the security is worth it. I'd update, give it a week or so to settle and see how it is. If it's not what you had before, you can always roll back to 4.4.2.

Updating to a LP will not help to fix all latest security issues. Only after Sony will release a firmware updates you will get it.

At least in that screen shot, data is not active that I can tell. That would make a big difference.

Come on guys, send screenshots when you use the smartphone normally, not like a Nokia 1100 xDD

The drain is horrible

Unplugged around 9am 40 min later lost 10%++ battery. Wow its like that everyday.

You think it's a bad battery? hmm it's hard to say.. I first want to try a CM 12.1 rom then I might contact moto as well. I am guessing if battery is defective which I am not sure yet they shouldn't have problems doing my claim.

When there is one to flash I will. I think something hidden can be draining battery I am just not sure what it is
because when I leave my phone overnight it will drain like 1-2% battery but when I start using it streaming music that's when it goes down quick.

when I first got it got hot a lot for a couple of days and battery life was horrible. noticed a lot of my drain was the network eventhough I had full bars. sometimes I would download something and it would disappear, or a app like usps wouldn't save info. called and they offered me a replacement due to defective unit. now battery seems a little bit better but still not great, my old note 2 has about the same battery life as this phone maybe alittle better but I had that phone since it came out. lets see if the replacement is better but if its not im going get a refund.

I'll just put this here.

I'm averaging 2hr 45mins to 3 hours SOT. Is that the norm?

If you can live without active display/moto display. Battery life is much better.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

22 hours off battery, 5 hours 1 minute SoT today...only Attentive Display off, everything else on, no greenify,rooted, exposed.

honestly guys, I highly doubt these are defective units. every phone forum has people screaming that yours is defective if this happens. it's simple that some people get much better battery life than others. I never in my life got battery life on any of my phones that others got, and i highly doubt I had a string of like 10 defective different android phones. my note 4 battery life was god awful, and that thing has a huge battery.
either way, i use lte all the time, I have auto upload for dropbox, i have everything syncing all the time. so of course I have bad battery life. this phone seems like it'll be just as bad as my note to be honest... but I'm not going to return it because it's not like I have a defective battery like so many people claim they think they do.

In addition to turning off the Moto Active Display. Turning off Adaptive brightness also greatly conserves battery life. Together, without those two Moto features, the device burns battery like most any device. So it's a matter of whether you want the Moto goodies or not. Turning off the Moto Actions and Moto Voice probably help to some degree also. Goodies have a cost .

5 hours of SOT? I can barely touch 3. I wonder why my phone doesn't hit 4 hours.

Hmm here is what I did today I turned off VolTE and did wipe & dalvik cache wipes. So far I think drain is smaller I will wait until battery dies and re-charge it to full again.
Today I lost 40% just by listening to music in about 1 hour and a half LOL.
I have moto notifications off facebook greenified etc.. everything I could try. What I did just now was turn off adaptive brightness.

Right before any draining starts only 12 hours after unplugged 20min later ? Is this ok or not ?

You mean it is fixed in the TMO update? If so, really hoping for a fix in the VZW one whenever that comes...

It will be fixed with the next Samsung update...TMO just pushed PC8 to their users... Now they love the Phone. International users have had it a while and PC9 has been spotted in China. Good time are coming cause the performance sucks on PB5.

so who has proof ffc was fixed? sorry, but some random guy on a forum saying it has without showing any proof isn't really proof enough.
especially when I think it was phandroid.com that did an article saying slow motion still isn't fixed with that update...

My new S7 has better battery life than the POS Note 4 i traded in, usually the battery is depleted by the time i get home from work every single day in the last 2 years, now I have 50% left with the new S7, loving it.

I just picked up an s7 on Saturday. I'm not impressed with the battery life so far. Android system is the top battery consumer. I came from the nexus 6p and Android system was never high on the list. Also, it doesn't show up as a top battery consumer on my girlfriends s6.

I REALLY like this phone size, speed, screen, camera, etc. Almost everything is great, which is saying a lot because this is my first non-rooted phone and I was nervous about it. I've disabled the Verizon and Samsung apps I don't care for, so I am good there. The problem is, battery life is pretty bad considering how much it was raved. My LG G3 could easily get the same battery life/SOT. I'm on wifi 85% of the day, good signal strength, yet I barely can get 2.5-3hrs screen time and ALWAYS have to charge during the day. Like others, the Android OS is what's killing my battery. I am within my 14 day return window, and I am starting to think the issues won't be fixed, so it might be time to consider a different phone. Hoping for some help or suggestions here.

Just got this phone yesterday this is my first cycle. I'm not sure why you're getting 2.5-3 I almost got 6hrs and all LTE too... Mostly gaming and browsing some streaming YouTube to my car with blutotooth. I'm very impressed so far even though Android system still showed up on mine as a top consumer. I'll try to get 6hrs screen time if I turn on power saving maybe

+1 my battery usage looks a lot like this

Looks about right. That's what I get. It's great battery life for usage. People just get paranoid about Android system using power in standby. Hopefully the next update Congress to Verizon soon and helps the battery get even better.

Did you guys do any disabling? Do you have push email or push exchange, location, etc? I have moderate battery life - about 2.5 hrs SOT on a 17-18 hr charge cycle. I would expect to get better SOT if I used it more often, but obviously at the expense of overall battery life.
I think Android System hides a long t of battery hogs - I think lots of apps will wake the phone to sync or perform background activity or notfy, which gets caught as Android system.

Disabling apps that aren't really needed really help in my opinion with battery life. Disabling location history helps. Turning off some of those unneeded wifi search settings helps too. I turned off the always on display. I think my record was something around 4 hours of screen on time. Using the gear s2 smartwatch I got in the mail from Verizon really decreased my battery life. I am exploring ways to fix that since i really like the watch.

Bad Battery
Hi all,
I am only able to get about 2.5h of dot within the day. I got my Mi5s month ago and the only thing that helped me, was playing a lot with amplify (4h Sot were possible then). But nearly all application which makes a device smart won´t work in background anymore.
I hoped that updating to nougat will fix. But today... I am at 1h42min dot and only 27% left after 10.5h of use. I only listen to amazon music (over 3G) for about 2 hours. Some surfing, some whatsapp and i use my samsung gear s2.
Greenify is running. I also freezed qfp with titanium backup.
I don´t know what to do. Some time ago I tested the device with only whatsapp running... Got same results.
I ordered a new Mi5s through gearbest. Will arrive in the next 2 weeks. I hope my device is a little broken.

We wait new screenshot

It seems possible to do this by changing global preferred_network_mode1 but the changes don't take effect without rebooting. Anyone have a smart way of doing this? I'm running LOS

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 Samsung Galaxy Note 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Actually good, I thought it was going to be worse.

After a couple of days, minimal packages disabled, Screen brightness average 75% (half the time 50, half at 100%), Resolution at Max, video enhance On, gps on a little, Hotspot on for about an hour, Bluetooth controller/mouse/keyboard on for about an hour. Pretty impressed! I'm going to disable LOTS tomorrow and see how much better I can get. One thing I noticed, I barely had AOD on today, but yesterday had like 8%, hope they can fix that. Nearly 10% of my battery for AOD is CRAZY!
