[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 for Xperia Z3

[pgzh]

I just had another soft reboot and there was no /proc/last_kmsg present.
If I reboot manually however the last_kmsg is present after the reboot! But of course it does only contain information from before the intentional reboot.
So whatever happens seems to prevent last_kmsg from surviving.
What else can I do to get a log? If I reboot to TWRP manually after a soft reset I guess I will only be able to access the log ending with the wanted reboot to TWRP lacking the information about the previous soft reboot. Or am I mistaken here?

Yes, another reboot does not make sense if there is really no last_kmsg available.

Could you please observe the behavior without the MAGISK modules, especially without E(d)xposed. Clean install required unfortunately before we can look further into that issue.

Of course, I just wiped/reformatted system, data, cache etc. partitions and flashed the latest nightly, nano gapps and su addon.
I did not flash Magisk and will observe.

Persistent logging

Please note, you can enable this option to create persistent logs.

Do not forget to disable this option after completing the debugging. I expect that it consumes a lot of battery, creates significant wear on the storage cells and may leave sensitive data behind.

I just had another soft reboot after the clean install, but this time there actually was a last_kmsg!
Would you please have a look at the attached log?
If it is not useful, I'll enable persistent logging.
Thanks for the support so far!

Thanks a lot, however I did not find any hint in the log so far.

I've got another phenomenon now - my Z3 does not sometimes power off completely and cannot be booted again until I plug in the charger.
Even vol up+power does not reset the phone.
Funny thing is it is enough to plug in the charger for a few seconds, then I can boot again with the power button.
This happens at any charge level, it happens at about 80% battery remaining. After starting again, the phone runs for a few hours without problems.

May I have some kind of hardware fault here? Did somebody else experience something similar before?

Edit: I also noticed that after turning completely off and needing the charger to power up again the phone loses date and time settings. Usually a phone that is turned off will not lose date and time completely, so I guess the phone actually loses power completely. I'm afraid this may really be a serious hardware issue and not caused by software at all.

 

[Mr.Tom_Tom]

@pgzh we assume it might be a (rare) hardware issue then.

I read all your posts in the last days, i'd think your battery is nearly at the end. I had similar issues with one of my Yugas. ( Xperia Z C6603 ) .

Thanks for sharing this with me. How suddenly did your battery problems start?
I was thinking about my battery beeing bad also, but it is strange I do not get a lot of reboots/poweroffs while using the phone and all of this started happening so frequently out of nothing if it's really the battery.
Anyway I'll get a replacement and check connectors etc inside the phone when replacing.

Ok, it started for me with shutdowns at the lower percentage levels, under 40 % f.i. I flashed stock - same result. If the charger was connected it does'nt happened. At the end my Yuga shuts down and rebooted at nearly each battery level, with the phenomen too that it does'nt powered off completely. While not using the phone it does'nt happened, means no use no reboots. Also i can say that the percentage was often displayed irritating, shuts down at 80 %, booted up with 20 % .

Thanks for the more detailed explanation. Sounds very similar to what I am experiencing, but for me it also happens while the phone is not active i.e. screen off.
Still I have ordered a new battery since it seems to get worse quickly, the phone is switching off almost every 2-3 hours now and won't turn on without a charger at all battery levels.

My new battery arrived yesterday and I replaced it yesterday evening.
I encountered two more reboots yesterday evening until I discovered the phone now refuses to charge the battery correctly with one of my chargers, but after a complete charge with another charger I am now reboot-free for a day. The powering off and not turning on issue seems to have disappeared also!
The charger not working anymore is actually a raspberry pi power supply. With it the led turns green, but it does not show as charging in settings and the battery level never goes up. The power supply should deliver 2.5A and works perfectly with my raspberry, I don't know why it is not working after replacing the battery...
And my old battery was definitely defective, it was obviously inflated and had a small spot looking like a burn-mark at the side facing inside the phone. Luckily the phone seems undamaged.

So thanks a lot for the help of you guys and this great ROM!

Ah, glad to hear this, it was the battery. Nice that you could rescue your phone. For a good battery life with your new one i suggest to use a very helpful magisk module, search in magisk manager for "acc" ( advanced charging controller ) developed by @VR25. You can charge to a specified level - over night f.i. - then the charging will be paused until a ( specified ) lower level is reached, then charger kicks in again and so on.

I'm using this module, it really saves the lifespan of your battery.


And now have fun with this great rom.

In the past some users report WiFi connection errors to 5 GHz networks because a region problem. I wanna try this the other way, i want general disable connect to 5 GHz networks to test some things. If i remember there was a magisk module and somehow the region was related to the inserted SIM. How to do this?

Thanks in advance.

volte work?

Please see the second post of this thread and this post for some more info on wifi country code.

I am not aware of any AOSP based ROM for the Z3 which has VoLTE working yet.
