[FIX][ROOT] Disable Fast dormancy on sony smarthphones - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

COMPLETELY DISABLE FAST DORMANCY ON XPERIAs
fast dormancy should be a battery-saving feature of UMTS networks.
TESTED PHONES:
Acro S (thanks barmakinfo)
Ion
S
T (thanks icstm)
TL (thanks bsined)
TX
V (thanks carloskar)
Z1 (thanks danielalarcon)
Z1 Compact (thanks Gregz78)
¡Your phone must be rooted to edit system files!
Instructions
First of all, you'll need to know your carrier MCC and MNC. You can found these on wikipedia or in your APN settings
Navigate and open ./etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt
You'll see two lines ending with MCC and MNC and two zeros
Change those zeros with the codes you look earlier and save
Reboot and enjoy
FAQ
What is fast dormancy and why should I bother?
Fast dormancy is a GSM feature which makes switching to sleep state faster
It seems a nice thing, where should I opt-in?
You are already in! Every recent phone supports this specification and sometimes it could really extend your battery life
So, what's all this bothering?
Well, the fact is that even though phones are usually perfect from this perspective.. unfortunately carriers are not. Some support this, other doesn't.
And wrong combinations can be battery killing. See the chart
OMG, I want my sleep mode back !11
Before doing anything, we must be sure you are affected by the problem. Asking directly to your carrier could be a nice thing. But sometimes this couldn't even be enough, since everything depends upon the antenna you are actually connected to.
So, how in the world could I check if I'm affected by the problem? :\
A first usual sign of the issue would be high "Android OS" battery usage and/or lots of com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup wakelocks.
Another quick testing method would be to simply use the fix for a few days and then revert your changes back if you find them unsatisfactory
I'm screwed! My phone isn't in the list or I can't find those files!
You had better first checking if the /etc/fast-dormancy/ folder is there and try. If not, check karkand's twin thread (be warned, potential brick inside)
Is this really worth the hassle?
D E F I N I T I V E L Y. Battery can last up to 30% longer after applying this fix! (admitted you had this problem before).

Im gonna try it
But what exactly am i fixing/doing?

prologue: a week ago i updated to stock jelly bean and i noticed soon noticed LOTS of com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup wakelocks (something like 2900 in half a day)
this is due to my carrier to have not enabled fast dormancy on their antennas
i first tried to freeze fastdormancy app, but this led only to a little lower wakelocks count (the problem was still there)
so, after some invastigation here and there i finally found a solution:
1 - First of all, you'll need to know your carrier MCC and MNC. You can found these on wikipedia or in your APN configuration
2 - Then navigate and open /etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt
3 - you'll see two lines ending with MCC and MNC and two zeros

5 - Reboot and enjoy
this worked flawlessly on my xperia S. i'm quite sure it will work on xperia ion and acro too
and i'm confident that it should work even on others models (judging from)
let me know if it works on custom rom too!

Fast dormancy is a umts feature that SHOULD improve a bit data battery usage
But this has to be supported both from your carrier and from your phone
If one of these two doesn't support fdm (but the other does) you'll have an extreme battery drain (which you can see in a logcat or in the allarm tab of betterbatterystats)
If both parts has this support this fix could even led to an heavier battery drain
I have posted this guide because i read A LOT about this.. but all that i could find regarded only samsung and lg phones..

@Forzaferrarileo
This could explain why i still see many
Code:
D/fast-dormancy(164): [FDM]: match with exclude list, so quit match procedure
in the main logcat
Anyway, i don't notice any more alarm ring from com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup (and i think this should be sufficient to solve the issue)
What do you think?

This works only when you are connected to internet through your carrier right? Not working when connected through wifi.

You may have typed it wrong if it says "=false" you cannot type "= true" it has to be "=true" notice the space. That's how it reads responses but also on some items if its corrupted it just rebuilds the .prop if I'm not mistaken

you won't screw up nothing at all
my problems comes from my vol+ broken, so i can't hard-reset and let the phone properly charge for flashtool
if you have a normal xs, you only need to have a FTF in case of brick and flashtool installed

Have you tried taking the back cover off and pushing the physical button on the chip or re-seating the plug?

I can't get a lock from gps in the place i'm staying with agps apps cuz none have this area mapped. but when i go in urban areas gps locks in like 10-15 secs. tested with iGO and stock 2.3.3-2.3.4-giopro 1.4-CM 7.1 rc2. so maybe its some hardware problem with your phone.
Ok! Yap. That what i'm thinking...
Mine works fine for a phone. I noticed a 10-15% decrease in signal when using the protective rubber case that might prevent the connction, so I always remove it before using nav programs. Firts I turn on GPS test to monitor the connection process and when it's done i close the app and start the navigation program.

true. its way more faster then the stock roms. it locks in just few secs
Hello,
i think it depends on the settings in gps.conf too. For example you should use european ntp server if you are in europe etc. and you can use an other supl_host - I prefere the one from sony ericsson. But I use a galaxy s with init.d support, hope it can be used for the gio. Please correct me if im wrong.

You can edit /system/etc/gps.conf on your internal storage but it depends on kernel or rom.

Did you try the general GPS-fix via gps.conf?
The thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
Thank you so much for the reply. But who do I do on Galaxy Gio? The instructions is for a different phone...
It works well on my Gio, just take the gps.conf from the example, adapt it to your country and replace the original in /etc folder using root explorer. Your phone needs to be rooted for this, obviously. Don't forget to set the correct permissions.

Hello! I can't edit the gps.conf. So what can i do?
The easiest way is to use the one from the thread mentioned above, edit it on your PC to your preference and then copy it to yout Gio. Rename the old one to gps.bak for safety, and then copy it the edited gps.conf to /etc.
Your Gio needs to be rooted and you need rootexplorer or simolar for this to work.
Try GPS on Cyanogenmod 7.2, on my Gio works fine
Written with Swype Beta on Cyanogenmod 7.2(GT-S5660)
Using http://particle.blurringexistence.net/samsung-gt-s5660/roms
I followed the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
I copy pasted everything, fixed permissions (rw-r--r--) and changed COUNTRY and REGION like this:
NTP_SERVER=pt.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.pt.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.pt.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.pt.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.pt.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.europe.pool.ntp.org
My gps still doesn't work, i've been waiting for half an hour for it to find a signal using GPS Status & Toolbox :\
I tried Cyanogen today (7.2) so far so good...

System Tuner Question

Hello guys I want to ask you something, my xperia S keep stuttering when playing music and doing other things(JB is way better than ICS,but still) not much as of now, but i want to know what cause it(since no one seems to know).
Using system tuner i can keep track of everything that happen in my phone,right?in the log what should I search for to know what or who cause this?someone knows???
thanks for the help

It's only leak... Stop making new unnecessary thread and wait for FULLY working OFFICIAL fw. Official fw shouldn't have this issue.

Should be caused by switching to low frequencies.
Anyway It hadn't happened since I flashed JB leak
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Uhmm are you sure? I noticed through syatem tuner that the phone does it at high freq (when both of cpu are working)but gave me a moltitude of "errors"in the log so i can't really say what cause this.
You have no stuttering of music when loading fb? Twitter? Chrome??? If it's low. Cpu freq why my phone does it and yours doesn't?
The stutter, as i said,it's not terrible but there is in fact stuttering.
Another thing is, it never does it twice on the same situation, it's almost always when opening something for the first time.
Anyway thanks for the feedback!!

I'm not whining about the leak,I asked if through system tuner i can monitor when and why the stuttering happen and how can i identify it.
Lastly i've had this stuttering since the beginning and in every rom i tried so excuse me if i'm this curious.

Have you tried pushing the frequencies of your cpu using setcpu?or how about keeping only 4 processes in developer options to free up some ram..just some suggestions

RE:JB LEAK
I am having the Same issue , its just the JB leak being slightly Unstable , its probably Audio Libary issue and wont be fixxed unless you some how have the JB source and know the problem exactly, or you could just wait till JB is actually released
anyway , System tuner is a memory heavy app , make sure your systCTL is setup for more free Ram, it should lower the amount of times it skips(maybe 1 time then none more)

the problem isn't strictly with JB and i know this is only a leak thing is i'm having this issue on every rom i try(stock .55,pac,CM and now JB)
that's why i tried to use system tuner to discover the issue
dave
Try this
how about this
Unlock your bootloader
Flash Stock Kernel/ROM , data/cache/dalvik
and EVEN then if it still happens then its your XS not the Firmware , it could be the audio jack or any thing dealing with the audio. i dont think you can fix it besides cleaning out the dust from your XS and seeing then... you never know

that's the first thing I did when having the problem,i was still on stock so I used PCC to repair the O.S.
I did this at least 4 times since i bought it(6 months now),changed kernel,rom wiped everything and back to stock (.55) but the problem was/is still here.
we are almost at the end of may so JB will arrive soon,so i will relock my BL and reflash stock soon(i might do it today).
I tried different head set,headphones,listening to music using the speakers nothing change.
anyway once again thanks for the feedback and the help.

Xperia S JB (.197,.200 )2G network problem

Ok, here's my problem , i recently upgraded to Jellybean pre rooted .200 version , my bootloader is unlocked, anyway, since i got an upgrade to jb , i am from india , and, it may be due to the new baseband version, my friends cant call me or reach me(GSM only), how should i put this, even when there's full signal level on my phone, my friends cant seem to reach me, and there was no such problem in ics .55 , anyway, this not only happens to calls, also to text messages as well, the message only reaches my phone after several minutes ,after the message has been sent from another phone,but sometimes its normal and heres the interesting thing,if i switch it to 3g signal(WCDMA only) i get it like normally, and because in my home there is little to no 3g signal at all ,i could only use GSM network, so i miss calls from my friends like 5 times a day , they shout at me, "i called you, its unreachable everytime" ,and so forth and so so, so, if theres any way i can solve this problem, like changing baseband (.55 one) if its possible? or any help would be deeply appreciated,
can someone help me with this ?

In order to do this you need to be rooted. Then open any root explorer, best would be Rom Toolbox with build.prop editor (Performance->build.prop editor). There you add these values: net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8 and net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.8.4 on the bottom of the opened file or in editor tap "+" and add them via shell.

There's no need. For some ppl it works for some unfortunately not. It needs to be deeper, coz it can establish connection. Now I don't know what is that but I'll keep looking.
PS. You can try to add same DNS on, these are net.rmnet.dns1=8.8.8.8 net.rmnet.dns2=8.8.4.4 And I have given you wrong DNS :/ All four lines should look like:
net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8

no,but atleast someone tried to help...and for that, i gave them thanks.. anyway, i dont have any data connectivity problems, 2g data works fine, its the network thats the problem, if i go out of signal range, then it takes a lot of time to get that 2g signal, so have to go manually search for networks everytime, even then, i always miss calls and messages !! i hope the new .211 firmware solves it !!
It didn;t work for me. I installes ROM Editor, set these values to prop file, but same issue persists.
Thanks for suggesting a try.

But even after installing previous version, same issue persists. Same is the issue if I install JB in my phone. No network in my phone. It is detecting SIM as it asks for SIM Lock password while starting a phone. WiFi is working fine. But 2g/3G doen't work at all. It shows cross sign on network bars with no signals. Please let me know what may be the issue so that I can try smthng new.
Please help.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[Q] Weird artifacts instead of letters?

Hello,
I know I am not a most active member of XDA comunity,but I am lurking here for a while now.
I tried to search across the forum to find help for my problem but couldn't find it.
Here is what happens.At some parts of a menu(app order or blinkfeed themes) letters are not shown the way should be,but I'm only getting some weird artifacts instead.
When I accces setting menu through those artifacts,my setting menu is shown same way,but if I acces it normally,through an app screen(home>settings) letters are shown normally.
Since English is not my native language,and I have trouble to explain and describe what my problem really is,I attached 3 screenshots therefore.
This is an ebay phone,so I don't have a guarantee list what makes xda my first choice in trying to solve a problem.
Thank you in advance
Cheers

Uhm,sorry.I'm on the stock rom,unrooted,JB 4.2.2 and sense 5.
Can you add some screenshots of the software info panel. Settings - about - software ?
Only thing i can think of is to do a factory reset and re-set up the phone

Back to the civilisation...
I tried to turn phone on and off several times but no success at all.I searched all over the internet to find people with similar problem,and have actually find quite a few,but their problem was broken screen,where artifacts were always on the screen,and not only on 2 menus with submenus.Since I haven't been at home,I did most of my search on the phone,and of course,at the evening,battery was almost drained so I put the phone on the charger over the night.Unfortunatelly(or maybe I should say luckily),somehow the connection between phone and the charger was loose,and was interrupted,so till morning,phone was really dead.After connecting it to a charger,it needed couple of minutes only to get a charging light,but after turning the phone on,the artifacts were gone!Everything was as it used to be,
Conclusion:
Where the problem was?I really can't say.
Like I said before,I tried to get rid of those artifacts by switching the phone of and on several times,but it didn't help.
I haven't done a factory reset primarily because I was to lazy to even think about adjusting the phone again,not to mention doing it.
And at some moment,when O was already at peace with those two menus shown with artifacts instead of letters,charger situation happened,Seems that battery draining and recharging it again had some weird connection with artifacts on the screen.
Thanks everybody for,at least,reading my post
Cheers

[ROM] CM12-Light BETA

A port from a S3's CM12 ROM for the [SGH-T399] Samsung Galaxy Light .
DISCLAIMER READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. This ROM was built for the T399, even though it was built on a rom that presumably worked on both models. People with Metro encounter FCs and Reboots when using High Accuracy GPS.
Android Version:5.0.2
With @Unjustified Dev's CM12 Build (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602113) as a base (Thanks for your service!)
Also the Light in the name isn't because of it's size (yet(?))
Bugs:
- stock Cam still iffy, 3-rd party cam apps work. From personal use, Focal (by CM) works great, Cam Mx is good too.
- Prox/light sensor for telephony (off display when phone to ear) is iffy as well. From my use Gravity Screen has trouble using the light sensor when the flip cover option is not selected (6/10), when it is toggled the use is 8/10. Interestingly, when calling the screen turns off when close to ear flawlessly, sometimes it might not turn back on tho.
- Report if I left some out
--Streaming apps (Netflix, YT, Play Movies) has been reported to be not working. Some report that it's dependent on the .apk version. On the latest ver. of YT it works with no problems on various resolutions.
Oh and also.
I am not responsible to any damage to your device, PLEASE do a Backup of the device on TWRP.
Oh and as of right now I do not have the device in my possession. I GOT IT GUYZ
I'd like to thank you for supporting and testing this and helping to build support for this great device. :highfive:
Want a stock ROM as backup or for daily use? Here's my build Don't it's unstable.
I am holding off development until I get the device, sorry.
Read everything? Good, here's a link as your reward
ROM: V0.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35178
(Vanila) V.02 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772131 - CM stuff removed (for now), proximity sensor seems to be better
(Dirty) V0.2.2 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347773480 - build.prop battery tweaks, added cam permissions in the boot.img, let's see if that makes a difference.
(Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 - libs migrations en mas (from stock, let's see where this rides takes us, HAVE A BACKUP READY PLZZZ)
MISC: GPS High Accuracy workaround for Metro (T399N) Read instructions here - THANK YOU @kireflow90 !
Also can I again thank @Unjustified Dev for building a solid CM build? He really did all the hard work.
Let me be the first to say mic seems to be working great while talking now ty. I'm Glad I'm you're little testing subject lol. Ty u again.
Ok so been playing around a bit and the YouTube app works again...mostly. My purchased items still aren't working. I'll upload a log for the camera in a bit

Camera log
Gps still reboots phone when set to high accuracy, Netflix doesn't connect, Google play movies and TV app doesnt stream due to bandwith issues? I tried the proximity sensor when making a call and it seems to do better than before but like you said still glitchy.

Yes do my FAM just gave to me I was just using to test flash ur ROM lol
As long as you have a spare to continue using to flash roms then I can't deny something free
Also I will be uploading two versions of the ROM soon, one with build.prop (and soon, among others) tweaks and one that I will keep as vanilla as possible.
I will also try my best to keep this method of release. It could take a day or two tho :/ so please be patient.
Downloading CM12-light+0.2 will give you update when I flash
Edit: only improvement I've found is the proximity sensor. It seems to be a huge improvement. Idk if I just got lucky but it didn't turn the screen on at all

Lol didn't even remember i uploaded the vanilla version. Anyway only way to find out if it's fixed is if someone else downloads it and has the same experience

When you upload, since you'll be putting both up, you should put vanilla in the name OR just code them with a V in the name. Like CM12-light+0.2V

Oh I also added an AOSP Camera app there, did it replace the older AOSP one? Are there 2 instances of the app? How does it work for you?
