[dougla_boy]

i like the samsung s....but knowing samsung.....too much bloatware.....

[nervewrecker]

But I didnt use it, it was under my pillow.

Uninstalled the clock app completely, let see how it goes.

A year almost up, its time to change but to what? cant find anything I like, even the nexus 8.

[4CupMan]

Anyone have a chrome cast to sell on this forum?

[Ted_v2]

IPad is the tab 2 replacement.

[stev]

very satisfied so far with the Z2's battery.

Little to moderate use, GPS always on (high accuracy), WIFI never off, 4G approx 5 hours a day.

didnt really use the phone that much (only reason i made 2 days on battery). using google now a lot, checking emails, messages, browsing and reading comics would have contributed to the SoT. lol

heavy usage from 2mrw...hope it stands up well.

[Trini Hookah]

That standby is amazing.

[nervewrecker]

More like it.

I get no where near that usage, with the same setting

I get nearly a day out of it, with moderate use


With everything off I get 2 days if I'm lucky!


Really beginning to think my phone is a defective unit. Been doing alot of research on my phone, everything seems normal, I have no symptoms of a defective unit, just that one stuck pixel, but Idk what's up with my Z2.... Plus I can't get proper 4g I'm getting Edge nearly all the time!


I have no clue wtf is going on with my phone.

I just that bad lucky?


Stev I might need your help bro! If it's not a problem!

[Mr.Bollywood]

What you think bro?

[stev]

have u tried it in safe mode? boot into safe mode and see if u are getting similar battery life when on standby.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-t ... m-p/348008


also, have u tried installing apps such as 'better battery stats' to determine what is causing the drain?


by the way....any of u guys still getting surveys on opinion rewards? i think mine stop jus so. :\

[Mr.Bollywood]

Hey man thanks I'll give everything a try and post my results on the forum

[stev]

i now realize that Sony's stamina mode was set to kick in at 5% battery by default (or by accident) so the battery stats i posted earlier may be slightly off

that's where the phone shuts down certain services while the screen is off but restarts it when the screen is powered back on.


normally I get at least 2 surveys a week....now i not getting any

anyone else stop getting surveys?

[Ted_v2]

Anyone Tapatalk crashes and you see post repeating themselves?

[wheelbarrow]

Got one yesterday Stev.
Just did it.

[stev]

something fishy about my google account.

not getting any surveys as well as my google play books keep getting disabled anytime i restart. :/

[blacklight]

This is what I'm getting on my Z2

[nervewrecker]

I seeing Google Korean input and stuff in my apps. That normal?

Anyways, battery issue sorted out with the nexus.
