Hello All,
Just thought I would mention this in case anybody experienced the issue like I did. Whenever I play music through bluetooth in my car whilst multitasking (having sat nav running for example) the audio would stutter for a split second every 10secs or so and it is very frustrating.
I have just got back from testing this stock firmware: Xperia S (LT26i) : 6.1.A.1.58 Generic TR (Turkey)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823234
The audio stutter problem appears fixed - I was on the road for about 40mins with sat nav running and music playing and did not get a single stutter
I also applied this kernel (using fastboot) to get root and recovery: Advanced Stock ICS Kernel Build 13 [15/08/12]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280
and also this mod for the 14 button status bar toggles on the pull down menu: Quickpanel 14 Widget Status bar Inc Swipe Notification

I'll try this out when I can, next few days. I had the exact same problem, but I've not used my mw600 for a while now (due to this)
Not tried it on ka10.2 rom and the 5.1 kernel.
Out of curiosity what gov are you using with ics13 kernel, and what sort of battery life are you getting?

I am not using a modified governor or anything - just the default the kernel is set to when it is installed. Battery life is awesome, can get 2 day's use out of the phone (saying that I do have power saver active over night to turn all battery hogging features off - lose about 8% battery in 12 hours).

Another bugfix in this firmware for me is that the proximity sensor working correctly now! No call related problems so far (past one week) on the .58 build with sony stock kernel, also no problems with music playback using walkman app! But the phone still doesn't sleep as well as it should when idle, but it may have to do with the apps (esp google apps) than the os itself. And, of course, still the quicklaunch & bravia engine not functioning like they did in GB roms!

Hi,
I'm using the following rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292 ( CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7 ) with a XXKPE kernel, and I'm getting very bad battery life. About 30 minutes of active wireless activity, a few calls and idle time otherwise, and the battery is at 20% after being fully charged in the beginning.
I have seen some attempts to map roms and kernels in terms of battery usage, but haven't seen this one mentioned in the list. Are there any known issues with this rom? (Couldn't fine any while searching)? Is this expected life expectancy for the ace? The phone is new so I don't think its the battery itself.
Also, I want to be able to easily control certain features with one click (for example, turn off 3G, mobile data and sync quickly). Is it possible to do such a thing?
With CM, go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Notification Power Widget > Widget Buttons
then tick the stuff you want to appear on notification, so u can one click configure it.
As for battery saving, I'd recommend Juice Defender Ultimate, I've been using my phone for 7Hours with Wifi on non-stop, and now is at 68% from 100%. Juice Defender Ultimate is really good, if your willing to take some time to configure it.
EDIT: As for ROM, im using ICS Final with SlaidFastMod. I moved from CM7.1 because of the battery life. With Juice Defender, it could barely last 1 day with minimum usage (mostly idle)
Or you could make power saving profiles. using Tasker.
Thanks guys!
- Tasker seems really complicated, so I'll try to avoid it for now (looks like a big config effort needs to be put in)
- I'm using Juice Defender (free) for now, if that doesn't change much I'll probably try ultimate.
- The power widget buttons are helpful, was looking for that, thanks!
- The rom change I'm a bit worried about. Is CM7.1 known for being a battery hog on ace? Are the ICS roms stable yet?
~~ Stopped Running ICS!! ~~ (for a Reason)
Hi to everyone,
i just want to tell you about my experiences of the ICS-ROM for the RAZR XT910 GSM-version.
First of all, i think that the ics in todays status is more worth than the "old" 2.3.5-rom.
Yes, there are bugs, but if you don't need some features, you could live with it
So here's my list of bugs found:
sometimes background picture disappears or just show's half (reboot fixes)
the gallery is slow on loading (only first time, but load it... otherwise it could crush)
sent mms were not shown in the messaging history
photo editor crushes lots of times
bluetooth does send data, but still does not recieve nything
the lock screen sometimes can't be unlocked (just use next bug)
you can bypass the lockscreen by pushing the home button
while switching music the standard player crushes
some apps does not work (they aren't made for ics now)
BUT some apps just crush the first time, second try they work
app overview screens can be switched fast, but widget screens are very slow in the menu
flash seems to be unsupported
if you don't work with english language, both are mixed (reboot does not fix)
while tiping a number the background becomes pixelized (reboot fixes)
some widgets can't be added to the homescreen
smart actions crushes (uninstall all updates and reboot fixes the bug - DO NOT UPDATE AGAIN!!)
shows time for + 0:00 timezone
MotoCast appears as test app (seems to be not modified for ICS)
ockscreen crushes several times after pushing power bottun
data error while getting free coins/crystals/bottles in apps
4 software buttons aren't enlighted (sometimes reboot fixes)
market crushes while using it by update-notification of android
But there's not everything bad or bugy. Here are some things that work correctly (for me):
sms sending and receiving
make and take calls
make photographs
alarm function
restore root from previous version with OTA rootkeeper
market
app updates
loading and installing apps
wlan
data networks (GPRS / 3G / HSDPA)
standard browser
downloads via browser
google maps
google+ app
adding gmx-account / sending and receiving mails
taking screenshots by POWER + VOLDOWN
autofocus while taking videos (did not work on 2.3.5)
setting and using smart actions (with nonupdated version)
So i think the main parts of the os are working and it's usefull. i'll run this ics-ota till the official ota will be published.
PS: i'll add some more bugs and working features after longer tests
PPS: Sorry for my bad english
greetings,
Sh4itan
restarted usage of red color.
if anyone else uses this ota you could provide your information about bugs and working features in this post!
2 problems that make me go back to Gingerbread:
- the phone gets to be pretty warm (not hot) and that has some impact on the battery
- sometimes it does not remember wireless passwords and you have to put them in manually

The battery life in gingerbread sucks also.
I hope the ics update brings better battery life.
If not,the razr is end off story.

Till now i've not noticed any change in battery life... maybe it's little better, if you don't do very much, but in usage it's the same... Dead after max 14h...
ICS is draining the battery fast if you don't use SetCPU or something like that. It seems to not scale the CPU to the minimum frequency almost permanently when the display is off.
If you use SetCPU you'll see that you can save a lot of battery life when the device is in standby.

There's some weirdness going on with the CPU governors in the ICS leak. It includes the hotplug governor, but default is interactive (which was a firm favourite of mine on single core devices). The second core doesn't seem to be sleeping properly, and the frequency steps seemed a bit large to me.
Oh well, more governors is nice when we can't add more ourselves, eh?

while using AnTuTu CPU Master to set the cpu to scaling variable between 300MHz and 800MHz and deleting/backup some side running bloatware with Titanium Backup ★ root the battery life risen sharply.
While doing some pretty normal stuff like sending sms, using google maps with WLAN and doing research on the internet, my battery has endured two days!
And it's not the RAZR MAXX
Stopped running ICS!!
'cause i realised after every 're'-update (flashed back to 2.3.5 and went to ics again) there appears other bugs...
after third try keyboard stopped working!!!
installing this leak is very unstable and it's pretty sure to get unlogged bugs...
maybe after several try's there could be a 'perfect' working version of ics
but i'll try it no more
now running The Arctic 3.0.5 GSM
This topic will be posted and discussed bugs CM7.2 by FAT. I did not give a GitHub bugtracker because the mode is more convenient forum to work with users.

Massive battery drain sorry dont mind but the battery is good as far as i concern and some people also report that its having good battery life on my own experience i even noticed it is good not best ya compared to other CM version it is good
And I have problem with camera darkness plus vol up/down buttons not work for zooming (I set them in Advanced Options). Tethering not works too.

Same here..And I don't know why CM touch screen sensitivity always have different 'feel' compared to stock ROM, without notice I'm always touch the screen more tightly to prevent miss touch. I think you guys understand well
Ps. Since this ROM is nearest to official then I'll tell more CM bug:
The bass sound's ugly than stock. You can check with mort player with same equalizer (without DSP mgr of course). Also the equalizer freq change from 5 freq (stock) to 6 freq (CM) and if you slide bass booster on mort, the sound more awkward
Um..oh. Laggy gallery! LOL

Not only for messages but when someone is talking to you in WhatApp and others, with all notifications. I think this is to warn you that something happened when the phone was in standby. It's not a bug imo.
The same thing happens with others CM7 roms that I've tested and the AOSP too.
but until you use them do not light. remember that in another CM7 ROM, this does not happen if I went to Settings-> CyanogenMod-> Interface-> LED Notification, except that in this rom, there is no menu Led Notification
is a very good rom but i have a problem, i test smartass, v2, conservative and never enter in deep sleep always 245mhz (my min frequency).
ps: sorry my bad english.

That is common..
Market does not get updated to the latest version. In earlier CM versions, it used to get updated.
Market.
*edit Fixed the problem with market icon
Great ROM so far.
text messaging touch goes rumbled, maybe coz of sensitivity... hope to fix it on next release :clap: more power to Frozen Ace Team...
After two days of usage, I would like to report that this ROM has battery drain issues. Much more than the vo-1 version of CM 7.2
wifi?
Wifi does not work for me. It doesnt scan. When I turn it on in the notifications bar it just turns itself off again after a minute or so.
In the settings the same thing happens. (sometime here it even force-closes)
I found this in the ROM-Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292):
"

Wi-Fi works fine, but when you turn it ON you can`t see all points, as on stock FW. You must go to the Wireless setting and insert your password there."
When I tried several times to type in the password and SSID it still didnt connect and just turned wifi off again.
Unfortunaly, this link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41455-cyanogenmod-7172-samsung-galaxy-ace/ does not work for some reason. (maybe just my computer...)
just checked, it worked: link is not helpfull
I am noticing some problems with my s3 after the official jellybean update. It feels like it has been rushed to the phone. For example it doesn't have the quick reply feature in the notification window. It does for missed calls but not for messages. This is one the most anticipated features for me. Also when watching you tube and you don't want the screen to rotate it now does. I want to lock the rotation so I only get the small video at the top when my phone is on its side. It worked before jellybean update. Also auto brightness has changed. When auto brightness is selected you can manually turn it up with the slider in the notification window and it disables auto brightness and changes to what you set on the slider. Now on jellybean you have to uncheck the auto brightness box and then slide. Little features like this are starting to make me feel like it has been a massive rush to get jellybean on to the s3 which is ironic seen as though it took long enough. I have the international i9300 model s3. Is anybody else noticing the problems I have stated? Does anybody know a way of changing/getting the features? Thanks.
They were definitely to busy with the Note II, I mean come on at least give their flag ship the same/some of the features that a bigger version of the S3 has... That sexy multitasking should have been on the initial jelly bean update.
94% to 77 % in 7 hours.
WIFI : On , PSM off
Most power and wakelocks were by Kernal.
Normal?
I'm on LJ4, stock kernel?
I've not got a clue what you're on about?

I know what you mean. The note got great features like the multi window. Apparently that's coming before the new year but I highly doubt that. Are you noticing the same problems I am? Another problem I found is when screen goes off after inactivity you used to be able to press the home button a moment after it goes off and it would turn the screen back on leaving you at the page you was. Now the home button takes you back to the home when you press it. It's annoying you have to go back to the app.

Me too, my problem is the battery with jb lj4
I think there is a few little niggles but overal its pretty much the same.
The autobrightness don't disable automatically now when you adjust the slider as you can now actually adjust the autobrightness brightness, Not sure why though.
Google Now - leaving it active at the mo, but not really found any usefullness from it as yet. The Time home feature is ok, would be good if it actually showed the route I take home - Via motorway, rather than the route through city center which i don't take!!
The new notifcation bar - its ok, nothing major. Expect a bit of all these features will improve over time as well once apps get proper updates. Some work but don't have full functionally - Songpop has no notifications now for example.
Battery Life - I did find that my normal phone use on ISC which included about 50/60 mins worth of calls etc wi-fi left on all the time but only actually connected to wi-fi at home (just 2G & 3G at work) i would have about 55/60% battery life left by the time i got home from work, on Jelly Bean - with the same useage i had about 40/45% left. I am now back to the same as before on ISC, but i didn't disable google now or anything just turned Wi-Fi off when left home and turn it back on when home - results was 55/60% battery remaining a as on ISC. Seems that the Wi-Fi drains when not connected - either it keeps on searching which it might not of done on ISC or its the Google Now doing something (Does say improve location by keeping wifi on - does this even if not connected!!) - Least this way i can still use google now and see how it improves its tags overtime.
I am now using a App called WiFi Timer to automatically switch Wifi on and off when i leave/get home.
Love that it now has voice downloaded so you can text etc with no data connection - find its more accurate now as well!
Never had the small vids on Youtube when rotated phone so not sure about that. Take it disabling autorotate doesn't do this?
Good and Bad
My experience is as follows:
Good:
Sheer speed, no perceivable lag.
A problem I had with only half the SMS notification tone being played (before it cut off) has gone away.
Bad:
Battery drain terrible even when idle. Turning off Google Now, Location Services and Samsung Push Notification fixed this.
When I activate Smart Stay, the screen does not want to turn off 80% of the time - even when I'm not looking at it.
When I wake the phone using the home key, it exits the app I was in. Previously, this would wake the device and return you to the current app (after unlocking). I have a partial work around using the PreHome app; this way the app is still visible underneath the PreHome dialogue box and I just need to press Back to get to my app again.
Widgets, seem to refresh less regularly, particularly Messaging and Gmail widgets which seem to hardly even refresh when I want them too.
Of No Consequence:
The red charging led is a little dimmer when charging.
Overall:
The speed benefits outweigh the niggles - just!

No need for an App. You can do it inbuilt.

Yep i know, but this app is far better as it lets you setup different profiles for mornings, evenings & weekends etc which the inbuilt one don't. :good:
root?
i may just root my phone as i really am not happy with this jellybean update, nothing has really improved for me, if i root it and install a rom like codename all the features like quick reply would be there right?
Hey Folks,
I am using Stock with manually removed Bloatware. Root and Xposed are installed. My problem is the high current consumption of my Z5c. I get an average idle consumption between 200-450 ma. On my Z3c the consumption is between 50-150ma in idle state.
I tried several kernel. Stock kernel and androplus v20 - v27, in all kernel i get the same high comsumpition with interactive as governor. Brightness at the lowest and WIFI/DATA off. I use Amplify and in WLD i dont see any Problems. I dont use Facebook, only Whatsapp and GMail. Is somebody have the same problem?
Do you get same values?
Sry for my bad english
You should also check what apps are using CPU power. I had a somehow similar problem and found that some apps were pretty hungry.
I checked it already with a process monitor and the biggest cpu user is always system ui. In the battery usage stats of android, the highest usage come from display and android system.
I reflashed the .163 tft three days ago to start with a fresh installation, but the high consumption has remained.
Then maybe there's a setting that you are always making after flashing the system... Live wallpaper?
I have no other idea at the moment...
No live wallpaper or sth like that. Do anybody know the average ma consumption of Z5c?
Or is it the 810?

It's some of the system components or pre-shipped apps,
CM13 e.g. is able to achieve 1% per 4-8 hours or even less in idle (Airplane mode), but Stock ROM seemingly always keeps something in the phone busy,
my current suspicion is the fingerprint scanner, adaptive brightness, tap2wake, etc. - so system-side is keeping kernel-side awake, but wakelock detectors hardly show any wakelocks when most is blocked (e.g. via Amplify)
all of those work without hardly increasing battery consumption in AOSP and CM13;
so the only things left are apps and system services - or proprietary "****" that is hidden behind app-name, services and others
the Snapdragon 810 is a kind of hothead, it consumes quite a lot energy under close to full load but that doesn't explain the idle drain ...
Mine is regularly around 350 give or take a few, that might explain why I only get 4 hours of battery life ?
my widget pro(same app) says -12ma worst case while screen locked
maybe something running at the background
this phone got lot of problems
but battery is the only thing is pretty okay even without stamina
on average usage its about 2 days for me (heavy 1day)
only calls and sms (with data and wifi off even 4-10 days) android 6.0( build.185)
if the battery was li-poly it was abit better
i could solve the problem. It was the xposed module "flat style colored bars" in the current version ( from 2 May 2016; Version 2.1.0), which caused this high idle current consumption. I deinstalled also the latest "goolge play services" update. It was hard to find the guilty.
Now it is back to 100-150ma in idle state. This Thread can be closed.
Thank you for all your help.

How did you narrow it down to that app? I don't have that module installed but use xstana. That could be my problem.
First i listed the running cpu process per adb shell (root, with command top). The Sony Photo Analyzer used up to 20% of the cpu every time, so i removed it. After that, the System UI used the most of the cpu all time. I disabled all xposed modules for testing and voila the consumption was back at 100ma. So i go through the list and enabled the modules one by one and restarted it.
I am using XStana in the latest version, so it could be not the problem in your Phone.
My List of Xposed Modules:
Amplify, AppOpsXposed, Battery Home Icon, Blurred System UI (LP), BootManager, Flat Style Colored Bars (Version 2.0.1), GravityBOX (MM), Navbar music Visualizer, Prevent Running, XLED, XStana, XUIMod, YoutubeAdAway, Youtube Background Playback
So you see, i am using lot of modules, but the perfomance and battery consumption is as normal.
Hope i could help you with this information. It was very time-consuming to find the problem. You should also checkout google play services, revert back for testing to the last version if you dont find any other problem.
