[Q] Battery drain - rooted, but on standard ROM

Hi all,
I've got a slightly strange one here which I wasn't expecting.
My Arc S was on .6, downgraded to .4, rooted, then upgraded to .6 with root still on. So I'm on a stock ROM, and have even removed a ton of unnecessary apps - otherwise, everything is as it should be.
However, where I previously got 2 days out of my Arc S, I'm now getting only about one. As before, I have background data, Wifi, Bluetooth and virtually everything else permanently turned off.
As I'm on a stock rom, and the same one that I was on before I rooted, is this normal and/or expected?
Thanks in advance,
schnide

Download a boot editor, or check the KERNEL, if you are using the stock kernel is normally. Idk how you can stay 2 days with an arc, without charging. Check the brightness.

Heck, im suprised how anyone can keep the battery last even for a day. If i fully charge the arc s, unplug it and then just leaves it there, the longest i can get is ~10hours.
I heard that arc/s battery will get better over time, maybe thats why, coz i only got mine like 4 months ago...

You can save power using apps like "green power" and cie but I'm impressed by the autonomy of your arc. Mine survives 1 day and two hours when I don't use it. You also can reset the battery stats on recovery but it's an extreme solution...

It's known issue, worse battery performance is because of .6x version

I conditioned my battery when I first bought the phone. Conflicting reports say this doesn't do anything with modern batteries, but I've always done it and had better battery life than some.

Install supercharger, use a task killer to determinate what apps are running on the background and kill the unnecessary ones frequently. I'd suggest you to install another kernel and arconium if you have unlocked bootloader

[FIX] Pops and crackles in headphone output.

Hey everyone, just thought I would let it be known that (at least on my phone) overclocking past 1.8GHz causes horrible clicks and pops when listening through the headphone jack. I am using the Rogers Stock ROM with the latest KT747 kernel, and the issue appears when clocked to 1.89GHz, even though the rest of the phone runs stable. Took me a while to track down the problem!
I was hoping people with other kernels/roms/configurations could weigh in to see if this is an isolated or a widespread issue. For the time being I have just decided to overclock manually when it is needed.
EDIT: It appears after more testing that it was the kernel itself. Switching to stock kernel fixed the problem.

Suprisingly the temperature increase is hardly noticeable. I tested while playing N. O. V. A. 3 and a few other games. My One XL got burning hot while overclocked to 1.7GHz, even though it's the same chip, which I find strange.

I had this probelm as well on my SGS3, ended up exchanging my phone for another reason and the new phone doesnt do it anymore.

The galaxy s3 explodes with stock temps, I would be afraid to oc to 1.9GHz Oh, and I would edit the title from [FIX] it's kind of misleading since there isn't a fix here.

I'm a power user. I do just about everything with my phone, including lots of gaming with emulators. Perhaps I got a higher than normal quality chunk of silicon, but the phone didn't overheat at all, even when overclocked. The only time it got noticeably warm was while overclocked, gaming and charging all at once.
To those having this problem, it appears it wasn't related to overclocking after all, as the issue appeared a day later on stock frequencies. Changing back to a stock kernel fixed the problem.
In the end I sold it and bought an international SGS3 from eBay. I don't care for LTE, but the Wolfson DAC and Mali-400 GPU appeal to my usage case nicely.

Seeing posts like this just make me cry inside...from the day I first got my phone and activated it, I have been having overheating problems. No one would take my device back so after my 30 day "return" period or whatever, I decided to root my phone to underclock/undervolt to solve my problem....but even know, my phone gets warm by just using stock Browser after a fresh install (not Chrome or anything else) WITH underclocking.

Should I Keep It Or Sell It?

I know this is probably crazy sounding to some but I just got my Xperia ZL c6506 in the mail yesterday but haven't unboxed it because I read several threads the day before about it having battery issues and not coming back on....At first I thought it was a small issue but apparently there are several of these phones that have had this issue. I would appreciate some feedback now before I open the box....

Really, my review on 7 months usage. Battery good, for a 5 incher phone totally depends on your usage( working days i get 2 days) weekends i have to charge at least twice a day. some heating issues( which is found in most of the devices),
Some Official Issues
IR blaster Manual function doesnt really work ( I have this, officially they don even know whats the problem with it)
Constant Mic issues, and ear piece issue (during Call) (I have mic issue)
Screen flickering (Fixed in update) but not for all.
Camera Black Spots (Again not For All)
And Right now my phone is under repair for Mic and IR Issue.
These are only negatives, now decide yourselves

Thank you, your input is very helpful. I've read about those issues also. This phone seems to have more bugs than the original XZ.
I sure hate to get rid of it...its such a pretty phone and well engineered. All the bugs seem to be from manufacturing, that would be quality control on the companies I guess. Sony should have done better with this being the so called successor to the Z.

I want to sell mine and buy a Nexus 5, pretty good phone

Well i can say my xperia ZL C6502 dont have any of does issues mentioned. no flickering, IR blaster work perfect, no black pixels on camera, great battery, mic, speaker and earpiece are working perfect. and not heating issues also. i just really love it.

I can confirm what the poster above me said. Back when I had stock rom installed, I could use IR blaster on different devices and even let it learn new commands, no single problem.
And the heating issue some are facing, it's due to the poor coded rom... If you install CM10.2 it takes your phone way longer to heat up.

I wonder what the differences are in the two models that have such a swing on problems? I got the 6506 for the LTE band....Straight Talk has LTE now and its Prepay...I used it on my ONE X+ and it was great.

I love the feel of the phone and the features are pretty cool too....Crap, I'm just having a hard time deciding....LOL

ZL C6503 here.
On .423 stock rom (rooted) everything worked fine, no flickering, no fc's and nice camera quality.
Battery drain wasn't that high neither.
A few days ago I updated to .67 stock rom (also rooted, no other mods installed), suddenly the battery drain was crazy high, even with stamina mode enabled.
I think the problem is not on hardware side, its the poor coded rom. Most problems are software related (at least for me). Some updates seem to behave more like downgrades... For now the most stable rom was .423.
If you don't mind unlocking your bootloader (make TA backup first!), PAC rom should be the best option. It's stable as rock, gives you Android 4.3 features and the battery seems to live longer than on any stock rom.
And for the heating issue: modern 4-core-1080p-devices always struggle with heat to some extent. Depends on screen brightness and the software and games you're running.
Overall the ZL is the best phone I've ever had. It's fast, it's 'small' and packs all the goodies you like

I like the 5 incher compact size of the Xperia ZL. i believe it is the smallest available today with the thin vessel it really looks very sleek. Well that's me, form and function, it completely covers both.

I bought a 6506 - primarily because it was available for a good price...
Performance seems pretty reasonable on a "quasi" stock rom... it does heat up for me when I'm charging it and doing something - like right now I'm making a backup... that seems to heat up pretty well.
Battery drain doesn't seem too bad...
LTE performance is pretty decent... download speeds aren't terribly high in my area (range from ~ 20mb/s to ~ 26mb/s... but uploads range from ~ 6mb/s to 14mb/s... that's a significant increase from what I was getting before.
I'm unsure if I'll keep this for very long or not... I've already created a TA backup... and I'm seriously considering testing cm10.2 or some other rom...

I've had my C6506 for over half a year now, it was in perfect condition out of the box and everything worked great. LTE was nice and fast depending on coverage.
Currently using Omni ROM 4.4, it's IMO the best ROM for the phone right now, the performance is absolutely great, it feels almost like a new phone again. Everything is snappy which was an issue I had with other 4.3 based roms, they just seemed to have little pockets of lag here and there that while they were easy to ignore at the time, once I switched to 4.4 it definitely became noticeably better.
Google implemented IR support so hopefully we'll see that put to use soon for AOSP roms.
Battery life has been pretty good, I'm able to average 10-16 hours during a regular work day depending on usage, if I'm at home using only the wifi I can easily get atleast 20 hours.
I've found the phone only heats up during a few scenarios: Charging the battery, browsing the web at max brightness for an extended period of time(30+ minutes), watching videos or playing a game, and even then, the phone never gets to unbearable heat.
I would highly recommend switching to Omni ROM 4.4, but whether or not the Sony exclusive stuff is worthwhile is up to you.
For me the Sony stuff isn't worthwhile because when I first got my phone backing up the TA partition wasn't widespread knowledge, so I'll never get the DRM locked stuff again.

I traded my galaxy S3 for the ZL. Loving it so far. Phone display is amazing and the design is sleek. Battery life is far better than S3 and I love the stock ROM very much. With S3 i've had so many lauchers and apps to make the phone look good. But with ZL I'm just using the stock ROM..everything just works the way i want..
I would definitely keep this phone..

I bought a Nexus 5 and sold it 3 days later - it was smooth, and I mean pretty darn smooth in the OS, but the ZL beat it in too many ways.
Better Camera, better external speaker, IR Blaster...
I was really excited for the Nexus 5 but i liked my ZL more...and I can't even unlock the bootloader on my ZL.

Only thing that concerns me is that I don't know if the AOSP camera app is as good as the stock camera app, it's still gonna take good photos but it's been a long time since I've had stock so I can't really compare. Could be just be me being paranoid lol.

No clue on that one...
I know they had some serious issues there for a while...

So what are the negatives or bugs with the kitkat update?

I know one of the positives is now you can get the bootloader unlocked
But umm does it still have a speakerphone issue? And did it lose some GSM frequencies or something for tmobile/att? And as I understand it.. it was last I heard unflashable for page plus/verizon? Or is that changed obviously cause of bootloader unlock?

My speaker makes a popping noise for pretty much everything I do, though a bunch of people have reported that as well I think.
My battery has gone to hell. With almost everything Greenifyed, SetCPU underclocking to 594 MHz, I'm still losing about 5% an hour. When I turn Location and Google Now off, it's about the same, so I've just been leaving them on. I have a 5000 mAh batter pack that I carry everywhere with me now.

The popping noise used to not occur on my phone, but lately I've been hearing it now and then.
I'll second the mention of worse battery life (although it was also not-so-great on Jellybean). I haven't gone quite as far as vjaamm has, but I've tried to maintain a decent balance of apps and battery life and still can't push a full day. The phone goes from full to 20% in about 11 hours, with 80 minutes of having the screen on.
Cyanogenmod definitely does better on battery life, but the current nightlies still have some issues to sort out (broken Bluetooth audio, spotty Wi-Fi for some, weird speakerphone issue, unknown "My Number" for some and the consequential inability to send MMSes)

Everything is working perfectly fine for me on KitKat. I keep reading about others having worse battery life, but mine seems to be the same. It's not better or worse. I don't have any popping noises, random reboots or heat issues.

Did you installed Kitkat via RSD or OTA?? because the ota failed to me, and i installed KK from a zip that i found here

This morning, I was listening to come music on my commute to work. It's about an hour and 15 minutes. My battery was done to 83%. I wasn't playing any games, not looking online or texting. It's kinda crazy to drop that fast just from MP3's. It never did that on Jellybean.
I wasn't streaming them. I was using PowerAMP and just using songs on my SD Card.
I bet the phone just didn't like the music I was listening to. lol

In my case, at least, your screenshots make the difference clear - your phone is barely awake when the screen is off; mine is nearly always awake, even with the screen and Wi-Fi off.

BL unlocked&rooted
KK installed using official file via RSD

Kitkat was working fine, and everything seemed to work as expected until recently when it started overheating, running the battery down really fast and then shutting off. When this behavior starts, you can't charge it from a car charger, a PC USB port, a portable battery pack and sometimes not even the official Verizon charger that came with the phone. All of this behavior started after KitKat. My daughter gave me her Razr M to use which still has JB on it, and I won't be upgrading it to KitKat. I don't think the M is quite up to Kitkat, or KitKat isn't optimized properly for the M. Cyanogenmod 11 runs much better, even with the few bugs it has.

I remember something like that happening when I had one of the verizon apps disabled. As soon as it was enabled again, the FC stopped happening. That was on Jellbean though.
I don't remember what the app is though. Sorry.

Crash happens on playing for 5 to 10 mins, becoz cpu or gpu get too hot? I'm not sure...

@kelvinick, Not for me. It's always crashes right away.
On loading a game I noticed the phone immediately starts logging something having to do with the "thermal engine", changes the "wlchg_monitor" alarm to 42c, and the "LCD_management" alarm to 44c.

Do you have a case on the phone? I've had devices in the past that would overheat with heavy use in thick cases.

Hmm well no problems here. If it's happening in more than one game I'd lean towards a defective phone.
First I'd try a factory reset before returning the phone.
