This mod promise to almost eliminated the lag on any android by providing more random number for vm use (you may not aware but when process running, it require a lot random number for various task, when it run out, lag happen - that's the theory).
Just saw this on xda front page and tried myself Fly + JJ3.3 with a lot of modded by myself.
It still too soon for me to confirm it work or not, but so far the phone is not sluggish at all (last 30 minute, playing with heavy browsing and map and instagram to eat all the memory).
I use seeder_v6 script http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=738
You can try with the apk (second attachment in #1 post first to see if still skeptical about this stuff)
Please share the experience in performance, battery, abnormal behavior of phone if happen.
This maybe a biggest performance tweak for a long time.
Sounds interesting. I'm curious if it really works and how does it affect the battery life. Please, can somebody test it (or already done it) and can tell something about?

I currently using it. Most noticeable is how quick recent apps list popup. Many apps startup quicker (look like they use a lot of random data at startup) - but when you already run low on ram like heavy browsing, this will not able to help you reduce the lag.
I'm currently on happy side with more snappy recent apps list, it kinda too slow for me before. But maybe it's because I've just restart the phone, need hours before I can really judge it. So much placebo for now.
This zip is to flashing via recovery, yup? And how to uninstall this?
Yes, via recovery, I'm uninstall things by checking what in the zip and what already in system, so I can revert it.
You sould try the apk in the first post of that thread first, if it work well, dont need to flash anything.
Actualy.This brakes the system. I have tasted it. Many games become fc also. It boosts the benchmark score but... It is just not for our phones. Feel free to try it but..
after install zip free RAM chages from 250 to 270 on 2.3.4.
I'm using REPACK4PDA with special settings.

I am using it, and it is pretty good at eliminating lags for certain functions, but it wouldn't surprise me if it screwed up some other things, like Mr Tapa pointed out, so like most android things it is probably up to the end user to decide if it is worth it for them or not.
So far only smart app protector FC on me, but this app also update yesterday so I dont know if seeder really the reason.
In theory, just pump more random data into the pool can not break the system, the problem maybe it not random enough or something.
The result is very positive for me until now.

CPU still stay about 40% time in min frequently and no visible battery life decrease to me, it's been 5 hours since last full charge and 6 hours from last reatart (seeder_v6 install)
I've included entropy seeder in my xplode tweak pack a few days ago. Battery life has not decreased. Performance improvement is slight, but still there

Maybe it awake more, but clearly not at a rate I can see difference visible on that graph.
If someone already have BetterBatteryStats installed can do the test with clear number.
No noticeable for me until now about battery life decrease,
Even if it's noticable, I willing to give up 10% battery for speed, it last about 42h average previously.
The reason for more free ram and more snappy apps startup is not clear. Actually it's hard to believe this flaw not be addressed for that much long.
But for what ever reason, snappier phone is still a snappier phone, and I like it. Maybe they should try to study what the real culprit in performance boost and give it to me...

hhhmmm, what you say makes perfect sense, but that is not what is happening according to my phone. I have checked and checked to make sure that seeder is working using the terminal commands but it I am not seeing frequent wake ups on the battery graph, and it seems like deep sleep is OK.

The debate still going on, my phone at 72% after 19h running the script... that's mean no battery drain detect, still snappy as yesterday.

Hi, so I have this new HTC Desire X and there are a few issues that have been bothering me.
1. Phone gets warm pretty quickly while playing 3d games and (according to Caynax Dashboard Battery Widget) reaches 44C but doesn't go any higher. It doesn't turn off or do anything out of the ordinary other than being warm to the touch but feels weird.
2. With screen turned off battery life seems to be pretty good but as soon as I start playing games battery drains very fast. While playing 3d games it takes about 3,5h to go from 100% to 0%.
3. While charging the battery percentage gets stuck at 99% for quite a while. From 99% to 100% it takes nearly as long as it does to reach 99%.
Is this normal behavior or should I be worried?

1. It's pretty normal for our device, because it's a midranged device
2. That's normal because some games are pretty tough for our device
3. Best solution is a battery cabliration

I use chrome and no it only gets warm when multitasking, when its charging and when I play games
Well I checked now and the phone got warm while I was simply browsing the internet using Opera Mobile (Classic). Slower than while playing games but it did reach 42C after like 10 minutes.
I found out that the music volume is too low after upgrading to JB ......

@ curiousjack-heating problem is normal thing in every device, as far as I have noticed, whenever there is heavy load on gpu, its causes heating, also while using GPS,same thing happens, as for 99% issue that's not normal bro, as already suggested try calibration, if that doesn't help, its time to pay a visit to service centre..& battery drain is normal thing, you said your lasts 3.5 hours,while mine doesn't even lasts 2hours while playing RF13,so don't worry..
@monitorstudioworker-low volume bug is solved in latest update,as of now only India has got it, I can confirm my volume is normal after latest update, its about 10 mb, wait for it, it'll start roiling out soon in other countries too..
By calibrating you guys mean to discharge the battery till the phone turns off and then recharge it completely, right? Or is there a way to wipe battery stats or something in stock rom?

yes but the best is to recharge it while it's off. Wiping battery stats doesn't solve battery drain most of the time
Meh this temperature seems so fishy. I played 3 races in Real Racing 2 on Xperia X8 - phone still cold, the exact same 3 races on HTC Desire X and it's already warm even though Xperia struggles with the game and Desire doesn't.
What battery temperatures do others get while playing games?
I get to about 42 while m playing real racing 3 all this heating but the phone doesn't reboot or switch off is because I feel our default stock kernel is configured for PERFORMANCE profile rather than the usual ONDEMAND seen in stock roms
Hey guys just want to tell you that the 99% battery bug is true. I face it. What's more suprising is that even after taking 1-2 hours to reach 100% from 99% it soon drops down to (92-95)% as soon as you start using it . Its really a thing to be worried bout

well seems ok, thank you for the screenshot.

My battery life is insane, it's the best I've ever had on android.
I'm at 41% battery in the screen shot attached. And I've already got 4+ hours of SOT.
I've watched YouTube videos, been on Facebook, Twitter etc and been listening to the radio/music In the gym.
Some proper voodoo going on here, but now I get why they used the smaller, nippier processor. :victory:

gsmarenas battery test is personally not the best method. i rather like phonearenas. their method is much more realistic as they are not only testing video playbacks but also social media, browser and so on. usual smartphone usage.

GSMArena change the battery testing method in this year.
Every phone that GSMArena reviewed before 2016 have the brightness adjust by postioning the slider at 50% when do a battery test, but this year they fix the brightness to 200 nits.
http://gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_x_compact-review-1495p3.php
the article said the X Compact have 106 nits brightness when adjust the slider at 50%. That's mean it will get the better result if they use the old method for testing like Z2.

Thanks, I like hearing that, I'm not one who keeps the brightness above 50% much, only in rare occasions, I usually keep it at 30-40%, and 0% during the night.
Mine sucks. Literally. I enabled the battery optimisation (on the top right 3 dots menu), Stamina should kick at 20% or below, no Ultra Stamina. The last hours have been good compared to the other days.

Glad you like it, bet it feels like a big jump up from the m2. Go to settings location tap the three dots top right and then turn both sliders to the off position WiFi and Bluetooth are always scanning in the background for connections for Google even if you turn them off in the settings on mm it crucified the battery on my xa. I'm getting between 3.5-5hrs screen time from a 2300mah battery not used stamina mode since getting it in July.
Another top tip install greenify and activate the aggressive doze and doze on the go feature via adb it's literally two command lines it makes doze work more like old stamina mode did and it works on unrooted stock devices.

Hey Aidy, long time no see!
yeah, I already did the trick of disabling WiFi and BT on Location settings. This could be why my battery improved in the last couple of days. It was consuming up to 6% per hour! But there must be something wrong with my settings. I synched the XC with the M2 via Xperia Transfer and something may have gone banana.
I mean, now I am at 22% after 32h, but only with 1h 40m of screen. The battery life raised also because I didn't touch the phone much. I dunno, my feeling is also that MM on XC is pretty bugged at the moment. The brightness goes to down 0, the WiFi connection is worse than the one on M2 (!!) and the stupid Xperia Home breaks my themes (fixed installing 10.0.A.0.73 from apkmirror. But also the latest Xperia Home beta is fine). And sometime it heats just doing nothing.
The performances are amazing, though! I can't make it lagging!! Well.. Actually I can. Enabling the Stamina mode. It isn't real lag but it feels like it goes down from 60 to 30 fps. I'd love to know why many complained about the lack of Stamina mode if the most it seems to do is to reduce the performances. And what the heck is that Ultra Stamina anyway.
PS: But yes, it has been a quite nice jump! Hopefully this one will last AT LEAST 3 years in terms of updates. :laugh:

I dunno. The Xperia Z went through all updates from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 up to Lollipop 5.1.1. The Z3 won't get Nougat because (so I understood) Google simply doesn't support that HW for new Android releases.
But I see now that Sony calls the Xperia XC a "Premium Phone", the flagship for the X series starts with the Xperia XZ. And as premium we don't even get the Xperia Lounge gold subscription. Stingy b***s.
Yeah.. Android 8 might be the last. So annoying.
How do you know if quick charge is working? I downloaded Ampere and another battery tester app. Used the provided usb and an expensive Anker one and both apps and cables show 1050 mA charging using the provided QC3.0 charger. Does the screen need to be off or do I just not under quick charge? This is my first new phone in 4 years lol. Still loving my optimus g.
Anyone compare it to a Z3c? I typically get 5-7 hours of SoT on my 2014 Z3c and regularly go 3 days between charges if I don't use it much, which I've come to consider the norm now. This with Stamina mode only set to come on when the battery is under 35%. Will the Xc do as well?
Granted, it took a while to configure the Z3c to maximize battery -- disabling various pointless background apps and processes etc. -- but after size, the battery life is my favorite aspect of the Z3c.
No matter how many forums and threads there is no solution to be found for this massive battery drainage. stock rom vs poison with greenify, underclock, tweaks, lower brightness, other mods, and the battery is exactly THE SAME in both. Draining massivly. I have 60% now, 2 minutes ago when I was browsing in mozzila I had 66%. Also draining when screen off. I kept using the battery with same patterns for a lot of days, adaptive charging doesn't seem to help.. Any solution??
Go back to stock with fastboot and see how it goes.
There's probably a much more convoluted solution out there but it would probably be too much hassle.
Root Xperia X

Hi guys. Sorry for slow reply. I have tried going back to stock rom and other different roms. No difference. You see the weird part is that the battery lasts the same no matter what you do, stamina mode? same. Nothing running on background ? same. New thing happened: After the poison 7 rom in battery settings ann option "battery care" appeared. I turned it on to see what it does. Only after some weeks it decided to pop up when I plugged my phone to charge. It said something like "Battery Care active. Your phone will be fully charged in 5 p.m Tuesday (example) while it is still Monday 3 p.m. Should I listen to battery care and leave the phone plugged in for 1 day or not? (no matter if it reaches 100%).
This is a bit irrelevant but I am asking just in case: Is your phone too charging very fast ? I have the basic charger (not the fast charge) and I believe my phone is being charged a bit too fast

Battery Care is a nice app if you charge your phone overnight.It limits the duration of your battery charged to 100% by charging rapidly to 90% until a half hour or so before you wake up. To do so it needs to learn your charging habits first. Supposedly this prolongs your battery life. Attached an example. You can see it charges rapidly as well.

I agree it is unrelated. Since your battery problem seems independent on the rom, a few options are left: a rogue app that you always install, something related to your Google account, or a hardware problem.

Is it worth it to try going back to stock again and also unrooting? Or relocking the bootloader? I thought of an app but the only thing that it could really be are the google services , the play store. Messenger doesnt seem to drain much and makes a minimal difference, and with the app we mentioned above I didn't find absolutely anything draining the battery apart from screen and OS (it could also be more than normal)
I did all the trip concept-stock-concept and it seems it is an app right now I'm getting almost the day through and have 20ish of battery, it was easier in my case because I didn't unlocked bootloader or rooted, so might try a full clean reinstall to your phone

I'm currently also having massive battery drain(6% an hour) I tried stock rom, Posion rom and concept rom, sadly all with the same result. I use grenify & fordoze but somehow my phone wont 'doze'/go into deep sleep. I installed better battery stats to check out the problem. On a normal day(one charge) the sumery of better batter stats look like this:
deep sleep 7 hours / awake(screen off) 5.5 hours / screen on 1.5 hours
when i look to kernel wakelocks there is one that is always on top of the list:
bluesleep 5.2 hours 243 wakelocks
Also under alarms there is a suspect:
com.google.android.gms: 864 alarms 1/min
So there are some strange things happening on my phone... really wondering if you got the same wakelocks/alarms as I do
I use greenify and HEBF. Same story here, it seems like nothing changes with battery life. Crazy, only 1,5 hours? My average now is 3. I haven't checked the drainage when screen is off but I did notice similar drains to yours. I think we're in the same boat. I will tell you about the wakelocks, haven't looked into that yet

I've just received my phone for just one day. Backup my TA partition, unlock bootloader and use rootkernel tool to root my devices. I'm using the .331 version stock ROM. Just then I installed the ElementalX app on play store, and surprisingly found that the cpu frequency statistics show that the phone is always on the max freq. So I changed the cpu governor to interactive governor. Haven't test battery time yet. Hope you know this issue, if you have the same problem.

I haven't checked the drainage when screen is off but I did notice similar drains to yours. I think we're in the same boat. I will tell you about the wakelocks, haven't looked into that yet

I'm wondering if you've check the cpu freq statistics. See my post above. If that's the common issue, than the stock rom maybe has trouble dealing with the cpu governor problem.

I've just received my phone for just one day. Backup my TA partition, unlock bootloader and use rootkernel tool to root my devices. I'm using the .331 version stock ROM. Just then I installed the ElementalX app on play store, and surprisingly found that the cpu frequency statistics show that the phone is always on the max freq. So I changed the cpu governor to interactive governor. Haven't test battery time yet. Hope you know this issue, if you have the same problem.

Any news guys? Is your battery better when lowering frequecies ? I have also tried lowering them but no change

Actually I'm not lowering frequencies, I use EX Kernel Manager to tune the interactive governor according to this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
After tuning the governor, it's about 4 hours SOT. Still not good compare to my Xperia Z3, but much better than before(about 2hr SOT)

Well it's not perfect yet but switching off scanning for bluetooth and wifi helped me a lot(under location settings) Also L Speed & Greenify are helping.
Still looking for a way to turn off fast dormancy.

How are people finding this huge 5000mah battery?
In all honesty, I was expecting a little better performance. Perhaps it's still too early to tell but I'm on my 3rd battery cycle, have "balanced" battery mode active, power saving feature applied to most apps other than essentials, don't have Facebook installed etc. Have rooted and also Universal Doze for magisk installed.
I'm currently on 10% with 5hr30min SOT. Granted, I have been listening to Spotify today but over WiFi.
Just doesn't seem to be blowing me away and not feeling like my battery is 25% bigger than my previous Xperia 1 ii, with the exact same setup/general usage. If anything feels the same size, maybe even less?!
Used BetterBatteryStats and nothing seems out of place there.
Will continue to monitor. Still extremely happy with this phone.
Hmm so quick update, I had Dual WiFi (blend of 2g/5ghz network) enabled previously however today it's now disabled.
I'm currently on 45 mins SOT and still at 97% battery!!
Anyone else any experience with this? I haven't changed any apps but seems this setting may have been the cause of high drain for me....
Will continue to monitor....
My battery life has been pretty good after a few cycles
Not bad. I keep it on mobile data most of the time. And i charge it only to 90% with a 500mAh charger. And i do have Facebook app, a Garmin smart watch and many synced accounts that run in the background
Not bad at all IMO. Received the phone today and it was at around 40 percent. Haven't charged yet. Refresh rate is on auto.

Are you more satisfied with the ZenFone 7 than with the Xperia 1 II?
How does the loudspeaker compares?
Im in doubt between the two.

Overall, yeah I'm very happy with this phone.
Comparing the two:
- the speakers were better on the Xperia, front facing always wins as avoids you accidentally covering the bottom firing one up on the Zenfone plus the top earpiece one isn't great. But, it's still good enough and they sound decent to keep me happy
- the less wider feel on the Xperia was also very nice but I really don't mind the feel of the zenfonr
- the camera on the Xperia was very good, but I just didn't feel like I was amazed by the point and click usage. Which I know it was really aimed for Pro users, but still....
- for the Zenfone I love the feel of it. A very fast phone, great camera, I'm a big fan of the flip camera, very good selfies (more concerned about video calls as the Xperia has a horrible smoothening effect which they didn't fix)
-the led on the Xperia was very nice whereas there's not as many colours on the Zenfone
Ultimately one of the biggest factors for me is rom and gcam development. It was virtually non existent for the Xperia but I enjoy it too much to sacrifice it. Already there is a decent gcam for zenfone and havoc & omnirom are being worked on
So I guess it boils down to what matters the most to you. Both very good options to be honest!
My first cycle from 100% down to 0% (won't be doing this often). Auto refresh, mainly on wifi (95%), AOD off, balanced profile. Not bad > 7 hour SOT.
Edit: don't know why PNG screenies aren't working with attachments :/

Auto refresh rate as I said.
I'm gonna try turning wifi off and see how long the SOT is from 100%-0% using just 4G (5G is off as my carrier doesn't support it).
Might try forcing 90Hz on a separate occasion too.
5 hr 53 min SOT ON dual sim 4G only.
battery life is good. not as good as zen 6. However its a all day phone. Charges really fast. Fastest charge so far.
90Hz is noticeable.. Keep your NFC , Bluetooth and especially Location off to save allot more battery..
Overal the phone is a winner .. only major peoblem.. I cant seem find ANY info to get 4g or even 5g here in USA> I thin this phone is NOT compatible for USA cell bands.. I even brought it to att store and they couldnt ge it to work past 3g.
This battery could be better, Asus need optimize better the kernel. I have bad performance on game Genshin impact (drop frames) and bad standby, 6h it goes 3,5%, on my motorola edge plus it goes 1% with the same condition.
I had pretty bad standby at first but then I disabled all battery optimizations and got great standby. I think "Optiflex" was the cause of it. Just turn it off.

Are you on Balanced profile still? And is Adaptive Battery enabled or disabled? Optiflex is meant to "saves battery on standby" too lol

The only battery saving setting I still have enabled is "hibernate apps" under battery settings. Optiflex, adaptive battery, detect battery-draining apps all off. Using balanced power settings but I'm mostly on 90Hz.

How much you feel the stand by battery conservation ?

From using about 1% per hour to about 2% in 8 hours sleep. Check your APN also, I've seen some mention the phone does not use the right one automatically.
Going from the Zenfone 6 to this Zenfone 7, there is certainly a slight drop in battery endurance. The better chipset/hardware etc I don't feel explains the difference but it won't put me off the phone.
Just wish phone batteries would massively improve!
