did anyone had the both 4.1 and 4.3 versions on the phone? it is true that 4.3 drains more battery than 4.1 did?
on my c1905 the battery kinda get drained pretty fast on 4.3 15.4.a.1.9, even i use it on 2g with reduced luminosity.
also does the repair function from pc companion rewrite the battery files ? cannot calibrate it bechause i lose my warranty if i root it.

I think you still can repair your phone, you just root your phone right? Not to unlock bootloader right? Sony will lose your warranty you unlock your bootloader. For batter i think you're right more much drain in 4.3 in 4.1.2 is more saver. So you can still repair:good:
Just try it
yes ,4.1 has better battery back up and beautiful UI also .

nop, i didn't rooted or unlocked the bootloader yet, atleast until my warranty period expires, that's why i asked if the repair from pc companion does the same thing on the battery files as a battery calibration app on root.

about the warranty honestly i new buy my xperia m maybe two month ago, now i unlock bootloader and rooted with custom rom, i know unlock bootloader is loose my warranty, but before that i did backup TA partition key, so if i want to lock bootloader i just restore TA partition and that's all. back to locked bootloader again and i flash stock rom with pc companion for clean install. yap so i think don't be scared or bad think about develop something, just try it and you still don't understand you can ask everything you want here. Just like me

Yo dude here are some tips to save your battery
1)[Non-root]Download Wakelock Detector and see what apps are holding your wakelock and un-install or greenify them.
2)Root]Download Battery Saver(root) and enable it, this app does it job it's not like those fake battery saving apps on the market.
3)[Root][Non-root]Download Greenify and greenify apps that you don't use often and apps that you don't require notification from.
I am a heavy user and I did all of above stuffs when my battery was draining fast ,it helped me save battery.

Hello
I bought a Xperia s with ics pre- installed. Then I update it to 6.1.A.2.55
But sister bought same phone in august with GB pre- installed. Now she have 6.1.A.2.45. Her battety doesnt drain as fast as mine and Bravia engine is working. So, I would like to back it up or 'flash it up' ( I dont know how to say xD ) and then flash it to my phone. I hope you understand what I mean.. So can I do this?
If I flash .45 rom, will I need to do something else (change kernel or something?)
I hope you will help me
Greetings, Joej
Know that your fw is stabler and faster than hers. Bravia might not be working on yours because you unlocked the bootloader. if not, in any terms, download the ftf and flash it.

She doesnt have any problems... but battery doesnt drain so fast than mine... facebook app eats 2% even if I dont use it. I dont have unlocked bootloader. Does changing fw unlock bootloader?
What do you mean with 'download'? Download from web or 'from device'? I'd like to have the same fw than she. Or her fw wont work on my device same than on her Xperia?

No. Changing fw doesn't do anything to bootloader. Download from the web. In wither General or Dev section of Xperia S, search for her fw number + ftf. Download and flash with Flashtool.

Hello lovelies from XDA
Before you say anything about not reading the other threads about cell standby, I'm just going to say I've read them all.
I bought the GT-I9195 with 4.2.2 Android in T-mobile Croatia. It took 2 days before I finnaly lost my mind from all the bloatware and decided to root it.
Used the S4 mini rootkit v2 to root the phone and got rid of all the yahoo widgets, knox, backgrounds... almost everything.
I tried removing the SD card and had no change in results. Battery shows that in 16 hours, cell standby used 37% of the battery with 76% of time without signal. Is that normal for a 2G network?
So, my question is: Is there an actual fix for this or just speculation what may or may not work. If flashing a custom rom fixes it, I'll take it, but only as my last option since I quite like the stock rom.

The new stock 4.4.2 still has that terrible battery drain problem. It drains 20% overnight with everything off...

@Termich if you're rooted already, you may have tripped knox, so the best solution would be to try custom kernel from rooting thread.

The phone is normal as before. Only text in download mode says that warranty is void.
But that doesn't mean warranty won't repair your phone because of hardware problem... Some people got repaired their phones with 0x1 status.

When you unlocked it you voided your warranty. You knew that, and if you didn't you need to read things. This won't be possible until we have an S-OFF method, which may never come.
@anwarmanaf
Actually, if you first remove root, then flash the stock recovery, then relock the bootloader you will be back in warranty.
It is because HTC does cover unlocking bootloaders in their warranty IF it is the STOCK bootloader they unlocked.
On some device people have been able to make CUSTOM bootloaders and gain S-OFF without HTCs permission so this method is considered voiding warranty.
Of course if you have S-OFF you can always just put it to locked status but that is not available for our devices as of yet.
Basically your good as long as your on stock everything and the bootloader is relocked. And yes, you need the stock recovery. The reason you keep getting sent into the recovery/bootloader is because you might just be using CWM 6.0.4.7 or another variant such as TWRP or Philz.
If you have a problem with hardware, that is a manufacturer defect not something that happened software wise because of the bootloader or flashing custom ROMs.
For example, if the power button got stuck, charging port stopped working for unknown reasons, dead pixel/ white line on the LCD screen, speakers stopped working, headphone jack not working, camera malfunctioning, or if your able to brick it completely so it can't be turned back on and you take it into the store for a replacement on the spot and bring the stock charger so they can see its the device not the charger.

So I have been having severe battery issues that I suspect could be a faulty battery, and would following this procedure make my warranty good again? I unlocked the bootloader 2 hours after I got it[emoji28] probably should have tested the battery...

Have you tried Battery Calibration by NeMa to fix the drain issue? Also, if you have things like Facebook and messenger they constantly ask the device every few seconds to refresh data for those apps along with a few others. As long as that is happening battery drainage will be high.
Greenify fixes the constant asking for data issue.
I run my device on Power Saver with the "Disable HW Overlays" checked and have everything checked for the Power Saver options.
Device runs like heated butter

aww man my battery has gotten so bad recently. I've had about an hour and a half SOT and wanted to use root to help me get a sufficient amount of battery to aid me throughout the day
Mine started doing the same thing as soon as i rooted but i noticed that i now had the H+ signal icon as well i think its because in all the roms ive tried they dont use tmobiles stock signal files. It seems like they only use the european files. They are compatible but dont give the same results.
So yu dont need to downgrade just have a stock rooted deodexed rom for tmobile but they dont upload that for some reason. Yu can also tell they are changing to many things cuz they give yu the super ugly note icons that look like bubbles and the s6 edge has a differnt more traditional looking touchwiz.

I had the same issue with battery and installed DU Battery Saver (paid version), and ran it twice. The new battery and toolkit I purchased are still sitting on my
desk after a Month. Battery life is averaging 10 hours with moderate use. Hope this helps you as it did me...

Hello,
I just bought a new LG G4 from my mobile provider.
After being a happy HTC one user for more than 2 1/2 years the battery got really bad and I couldn't leave home without my power pack.
So I've switched now to the LG G4. The removable battery was my main decisive factor.
But I'm now very disappointed.
The battery drains very fast. It's no improvement to my old phone and I'm again carrying the battery pack with me :crying:
Even while typing this the battery level dropped about 7%
Now I'm considering returning the phone and choosing another one.
The phone is branded by three *annoying* and it's running Android 6.0 V20e.232.10, build MRA58K.
I would like to try to install another ROM or root the phone to see whether the battery life can improve significantly. But not sure about that because I'll probably won't be able to return the phone then in case I still won't be satisfied.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you and regards
Mine did it too. If your drainer is android system keep awake, then reboot when you remove the charger.
Anyways, because of that now i have cm instead of stock.
i have heard that MM battery is bad compared to LP.. maybe try to flash KDZ of lollipop but read carefully and see if you can downgrade.. as theres antirollback v1-2-3
foe exmaple my h811 i can downgrade to LP 10N..antirollback v2 and MM 20i is V2 so i can change from that LP version to MM 20i.. new released has v3. not sure about your variant.. just lettign you know..if you want to downgrade then ask and read before flashing KDZ... i get over 4 hours with root and debloated.. using whats app facebook app and 4G..
20h
try 20h version. much better. 20e has battery issues. i'm on 20h and after a full day, i have 20-30 %

just an addition: u should install with lg up - refurbish and the first few there is a drain until the rom settles. after that this is the best rom - without loosing waranty- that there is
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
Really appreciate it!
I'd like to try V20h.
Is it possible to return later to my stock Austrian Three V20e ROM?
What is your 3 first sn numbers ? From 505 until 508 are prone to everheating and battery draining issues also try to install battery stats to see what's draining you battery. By the way try to disable activity log from settings - about phone it seems to affect battery
Use a clean stock rom its marshmallow version good battery life u dont need root or anything ...if ur already on MM just use lg flashtool cse method or u can use LGUP method goto my thread and see the comments...u will be happy after flashing this update hit like it helps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-twn-june-security-patch-update-t3407694/page8
My serial starts with 603. So it should be fine.
For now I've disabled the activity log and restarted the phone as suggested. I hope it helps.
I don't want to lose the the option to return my phone.

This is not acceptable by any standard. This is not a ”this rom has terrible battery issues, try another” thing.
I'm on stock marshmallow and have more than 5 hours SOT, phone lasts more than a day with moderate use (anything but gaming).
Find out what the culprit is using programs that do battery stats. It may even be a defective battery.
Flashing only to solve this, is like formatting a PC to solve delayed start.
Edit: in general older phones had much better battery life than newer phones, mainly due to smaller and lower resolution screens, fewer and less sensitive sensors, etc. This may come as a surprise, but unfortunately this is how things are right now. A phone that can last more than a day is a good phone battery wise these days.
I would recommend to backup sensitive stuff and flash with LGUp the v20F KDZ from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/firmware-lgh815bal-baltics-01-baltics-t3394113 (I live in Europe). I got better battery life than with v20D that I had before and zero issues so far (I have it for about a month now). I did not unlock or root it yet because of the dreaded bootloop issue.
Thank you all for your suggestions!
I was at the three shop today were I've bought the phone. Returning it is not possible any more, although it's not even been 7 days since I bought it.
I could send it in to get it checked.
So I guess I will try to flash one of the suggested kdz.
Too bad it's not possible to root MM without unlocking the bootloader.
You can find attached my today's battery stats. Maybe you think it's ok. But I'm disappointed.

Yes remember bootloader unlocking is only custom recovery like TWRP for installing custom roms and making backups and yes u r flashing stock lollipop u can go back to any stock rom u like
