50% incall volume reset/default - Sony Xperia ZL

Every time I make a phone call, the in-call volume is set to 50%.
I increase it and the moment the screen turns off as I put the phone next to my ear, it'll stay at 100 for a while and again fall back to 50!
In case of whatsapp calls, I can change it to 100 but it will fall to 50 every time, won't stay there even for a second.
Started facing this problem when I updated to Lollipop, no such issues on KitKat.
I'm using the US FTF on an Indian phone.
Please help as I like the Lollipop update, it has increased the battery life a lot.

Noise for the first 5 sec when receive call

The thing is that I hear a crackling sound for the first 5 seconds when I receive a call and the caller doesn't hear anything at all (like the mic is mute). I have to mention that this doesn't happen all the time, maybe once in 4-5 days. I have an arc S, stock .42 rooted and I'm on Vodafone Romania. First I was thinking it's from the task killer (set to kill the tasks when the screen gets off), but after disabling this feature, it still does the same... I am constantly killing the apps so my memory reads more than 100mb all the time. If it's less, I restart the phone or manually close all the tasks from cached processes. I saw a thread on the x10 forum but they were all from Rogers USA.
I'm also not sure about the noise cancellation feature if it can be disabled. I'm trying to guess what can it be... A hard reset would kill all my apps (10 pages) and I don't want to do this for the moment.
Anyone having the same issue?

[Q] calls receiving issue

I've a serious problem in my phone that appears after upgrading to ICS, frequently when someone calls me it gives him ring and my phone do nothing and it doesn't even shows it in the missed calls, when i tested this from my other phone the phone didn't respond until i press the standby button it starts to ring!!!, this issue always happens when the phone is on standby and when i press the standby button i noticed the signal fluctuating from 0 to full like crazy and stabilizes after a second. I'd like to say that it happens frequently not every time (once or twice daily).
i had to activate the call forwarding when not answered option to my another phone until i found any fix for this issue, i was using stock ICS then used custom and rooted rom then lite kernel and nothing changes, i used CPU tuner app to set the min CPU seed at least 750 and nothing changes, changed the sim and no changes, I didn't have this issue before when using GB.
I'm currently using this phone in Egypt with Vodafone as it is unlocked
Can any one help.
Thanks in advance
Update
i had found a new app on Google play prevent the phone from going to deep sleep called (wake my android pro), it is a free app as it allow the phone to sleep and not to deep sleep so it is not consuming battery like (wake lock) app which keeps the phone running in background and reduce battery cycle for about 40%.
i had tested it for 10 days i didn't loss calls so far
still waiting for a real fix.

thank you for your reply, actually i'm searching in this issue for 2 months and i see the above links before,i was looking for a real solution not workaround as the device is already draining battery and the solution will make it worse.
i was looking for a mod or a even a rom that solves this issue because GB was working fine but its too old now.
anyway thanks again
Well, I think if there were a solution, it would be posted shortly. I am not satisfied with the wake lock too, so still at GB

[Q] PLEASE HELP! Hot Phone and No signal Dead Battery

The phone randomly gets warm by the back top right (when looking at back of the phone below headphone jack) The phone DATA doesnt show, and no calls receives or sends. And battery rapidly drains when this happens, I mean within 30 minutes it goes from 60% to 0%.
I have to keep feeling the top back of the phone to see if it is warm, if so, I know I will miss calls, I reboot.

Some application is running a background process that is probably waiting in a tight loop and not sleeping for short intervals as it should. Orbot does this for me so I have to kill its background processes after using Orbot. Unfortunately the rapid drain and excessive heat confuse the charger so that it does not charge, and I need to reboot to get it working again.
You might have to uninstall applications one at a time to find the culprit.

5.1.1 update - your experience with the new software ?

I found it very hard to find information from people who actually have the update in other threads because it is mixed with information on how to actually obtain and install the update.
So what are your impressions of tge 5.1.1 update ? Please only post if you have the update installed and running for at least few hours.
My impressions:
- Battery life is worse, like 30% worse with Wi-Fi detection on, even if mostly using Bluetooth.
- Still can't edit the canned response list Emoji drawing is a bad joke.
- I can't dismiss notifications with flick gestures (only hide them)
- Very smooth and responsive UI overall
- No annoying "Ok Google" text on watch face until you say "ok Google" 5 times
Battery life for me for 5 times better.... One thing, this enables 'always on' apps... I would check some of your apps and see what battery consumption is. I've been in my watch since about 10am and I have 53% left right now. Way better than anything I have ever gotten. This is with wifi on.
It's pretty fantastic for me. I have no complaints. The processor is old, but I'm very impressed with how optimized they've made it. The lag just doesn't interrupt my work flow, unlike with the Apple Watch at least. There's no major delay. Will likely be buying V2 or V3 depending on how I feel the life cycle for these devices will be.
Updated yesterday. I feel like the battery lasts less, but you have to give it 2-3 days to settle down. Liking the new features, but I don't think I'm gonna use Wi-Fi too much since it drains battery.
For now, I'm keeping WiFi, gestures, and ambient mode off. This way within a week I'll have a true comparison of battery life. Then I'm going to test each function and how it effects battery. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Have the update one day now,
Good points:
-Smootness
-less buggy
-wifi when out of range
-wrist flick(great idea)
-Google maps maps
Bad points:
-Wrist flick is hard to perform correct (think it is a learning curve)
-When wifi is active on whatch and is connected but phone isn't connected to internet it still says it is connected.
-Laggier in first minutes after boot
-Lock screen sometimes activates when on wrist.
Overall i'am happy. Batterylife is to early to judge
I got the update yesterday after resetting my device. The first thing that I have noticed is that I can no longer dismiss notifications that only take up the bottom part of the screen. I have to pull the notification up and can then dismiss it. If this is what the developers intended, then that it is a major step backwards.
Also where do I setup which apps should stay "always on"?
Battery life after the update is disasterous, about 6% per hour but I need to give it a few days to sort itself out.
The dismissing of notifications is very much hit and miss and is impracticable.
At the moment I am not impressed with the update. Hopefully things will sort themselves out over the next few days.
For me, the update has been surprisingly good.
Good:
- Battery life (which I must admit, was my primary concern) is as good as it was prior to the update, even with the watch connected to WiFi.
- I love the flicking gestures, they work exactly as I imagined they would, although they're not as smart as they should (you can swipe available cards up and down, but when a card has multiple sub-cards, you can't scroll between them).
- Performance is great, specially considering it's a device with 512MB RAM, UI is still responsive enough and with very little lag.
- I love the new contact screen, it saves me a lot of time for quick calls when I can't remember the contact name (I normally use Google Now to call someone).
Bad:
- For the life of me, I haven't figured out how to enable always-on apps. It's one of the features I've been waiting for so eagerly, specially for Google Keep's checked notes (which I use A LOT).
- The WiFi connection is USELESS if you leave your phone home and find a protected WiFi network, because you NEED the phone to input the password. It kinda defeats the whole purpose.
One thing I noticed after the update is all of my hangouts threads became unmerged. Now each person has SMS/Hangouts as seperate threads. My one buddy experienced the same issue when his watch updated. Not sure why the software update would cause that, but it's upsetting.
Overall, I'm really liking the update. The only thing that's really bugging me is that you can't seem to dismiss notifications unless they're open. I'm used to being able to dismiss them immediately if I can get all the information I need from their title. Now, I actually have to swipe up first to open them, and only then can I dismiss them. It's not so bad that I can't live with it, but it is annoying.
The update has exceeded my expectations so far. I have only had it installed for about 12 hours. Battery life seems better. Worst case I don't think it has gotten any worse which was a huge concern because it hasn't been so wonderful. It seems to give more feedback and explanations so I'm not guessing as much. For example when I added a playlist it informed me that the battery needed more charge to download to the watch. Prior to the update I would have been scratching my head all day and then it would magically download when I charged up at night.
I really hope the WiFi works as advertised. I can think of many ways it could be useful to me. It seems like there are lots of times when I want notifications in case of an emergency because I'm a single dad but I also don't want to carry the phone with me.
My biggest annoyance with update is that now I have to open cards before they can be swiped away. Most times I can tell what a card is telling me and used to swipe them away without opening them.
Seems more responsive.
As others have said, removal of swiping / dismissing the previews was not a good call.
Not entirely sure, but looks like I won't be able to connect to my work WiFi which uses certificate based EAP-TLS authentication ? Will see when I'm back in the office next week.

Do the other watches have the same issue (yeah, I'm calling it an issue instead of a feature) with the notification swiping? Or maybe this is something Motorola did thinking they were compensating somehow for the flat tire? Regardless, I hope there's an update to fix it, it just annoys the piss out of me every time.
My first day battery report.
Off charger at 9am, end of the day (11pm) 67%. This is with WiFi and ambient mode off so I can have a direct comparison to prior then update. But to me that is a huge improvement.
Has anybody figured out how to enable the App Always On feature?
I've updated my watch yesterday and wanted to let my watch get to 0% to calibrate the battery because of the new update. so I didn't put my watch off at night, and the next morging (today) my watch was 10% and the screen was totally black and it wasn't responding to the side button so I tried to hold it for 30 seconds to let it restart I saw the normal bootupscren but as soon it was staring the app it became black again. I now have let it charge to 100% and it it's responding perfectly again. Does anyone know what was wrong?
Thanks for your time!

I noticed the same behavior when mine was at 2%. It did not respond to screen touches and only switched on for about half a second after clicking the side button several (5 or more) times. It still took about 30 minutes for the watch to finally shut down. Maybe this is because of a very aggressive battery saving mode?
I must add that I did reset the watch after the 5.1.1 update was fully installed and wanted the battery to drain completely for the same reason you did: to recalibrate it.

I'm thinking it may only be an AMOLED feature.
Mine had the same issue at 10%. I wonder if this is related to the performance issue Motorola was talking about.
I don't know if I am happy or sad that this is widespread. Hopefully they patch this up.

G3 turning off and restarting, even with a brand new battery

Hello, I have a problem with my G3. My battery life in general is quite normal, but once I am under 50% of battery, the phone tends to restart itself or turn off completely randomly. Not quite randomly, it always happens when something battery-consumptive happens. For example, when I am recieving a call, taking photos, or using apps like Google Snapseed, etc.
If I am under 50% or so, it happens sometimes. The phone starts ringing and sometimes I don't pick up the phone in time and it just restarts (automatically shows LG logo, etc.). Even more frustrating is that the missed call is not in the call history, so if I do not have a clear view of the phone screen I do not know at all who was calling.
If I am under 30% the phone is technically unusable. I can browse web, facebook or text via messenger without any problem, but I can't recieve a single call. The phone starts ringing, and in two seconds it restarts. The same happens with camera, once I am under 30, the phone restarts always, when I take a photo.
Sometimes the phone turns off completely, and the only way to turn it back on is to 1) take out the battery or 2) plug in to a charger.
I was assuming this was a battery fault, so I bought a brand new one (original LG G3 battery), but the problem persist.
Do you have any tips on how to fix this? Thank you very much
