probably this would be your solutions...



ok, back to your battery drain issue

If your ZR is rooted, i highly recommend you to install this app called App Ops, it's an permission managing app. Disable the keep awake option under the Google Play Service.




If your ZR is non rooted, sorry I can't advice further...

bro which one u use?

I'm using AppOpsXposed ( from Xposed Framework ), v1.17.2

You can use the App Ops [Root] by Droid Mate...it suppose to be same....

thanks

Mine just disabled the location service. Since then no battery drain issue..

60% and sometimes more....

btw, my version is not rooted...

i have one of that in the photo..

however, my phone is not rooted...

i have turned off the location service, but still draining...

i did it, but still keep draining....

60%??? thats alot!

I think not only for our phone, my friend's S3 custom 4.4 ROM with that Google play service installed also drain battery like hell =.=lll

4.4.2 no good. drain battery a lot.
my wife's Z1 ald gt 4.4.4, nw she no more complaining abt the battery.
So if we get the update, most probably the battery drain pb will solve, i guess

last night i came across to shut down and restart my hp, now is ok dy, the google services not running already , battery saved...

so next time if happen again i will restart again and see...

Need a some opinion here, is this worth still worth it to buy even a yr later?
Phone spec wise seems decent, 2 gb ram, internal 8gb, adreno 320..
Water resistant seems like a plus.

Z1 compact looks like the updated version of it, but i sorta like removable battery. Just a preference though..

best bang for bucks water resistant n 2gb ram phone.

for your money, its worth it. leave the extra cash for something else.

Nice, tq for the opinions ^^
will go hunting in lowyat during raya i guess..

Btw ap sets, what are the price for it these days?

They rarely sell ap sets nowadays cause of the warranty benefit, its very expensive to fix a smartphone (especially screen). Ori set could set you back roughly on 1k +-

thats the price these days... dang, acceptable phones are 800 in the least for min 8gb internal memory and 2gb ram. Then again what worries me is the brands though.
Lenovo - aint spending more than 800 for their phones, and all their phones below 800 tend to have average cam (played with a few, pinch zoom once and all you see are blocks)
xiaomi/huawei/alcatel - dont know how things will be, but imma stay away for now
lg - hard to come by in malaysia
samsung - dont think it is the hardware prob, just that their updates will mess you up so that you will have to upgrade phone when they want you too (my bro owns a s3.. top of the line, when it first came out, but not even a yr later it is coming up with all sorts of problems, very unsatisafactory)

is the charging dock worth it? Whats the cheapest you guys got it for?

I didn't get the original Sony charging dock coz is kinda expensive for me. So in the end, I bought 2 units of 3rd party charging docks and 2 original Sony batteries, off eBay. I just keep the original battery that came with the phone as standby and used the 2 new batteries I got (coming from eBay, I could never be 100% sure it is original Sony units, although it looks EXACTLY the same as my original battery, minus the SIRIM sticker). I put one dock in my office, and another dock in my home so whenever I am in the office or at home, I just dump the ZR into the dock and leave it there. The upshot of the 3rd party dock I have is that it has an additional slot at the back to charge an additional battery so I can charge my phone AND the extra battery at the same time. And all this for the price of the original Sony dock....

The point is, the removable battery is a major plus
