This doesn't seem normal. How long was it on standby? Did you perform a clean flash? I would format data if you didn't the first time.I usually lose about 5%-7% battery overnight.

Thanks for your reply. It's on standby for about 8-10 hours. I did. I'll try format data after flash, hope it will improve. What about battery drain douring usage?

I didn't notice anything major. Usually my device lasts a day sometimes longer without having to charge.

@betacrypt Thank you! Do I need a specific version of the Magisk zip? I know from other people with other devices that it can end in a bootloop when flashing the wrong version at least with some devices/ROMs.

No specific version you can flash the latest magisk 22 or use an older one like 20.1, which has a different UI.

Noticing location issues on my f5121 (AOSP9). Very poor accuracity, without WiFi or mobile data turned on not working at all.
Anyone has same problems? How can i solve it?

 

[Spaceoid]

Had the same thing. Iirc it is a general problem with the kernel.

Hello @knecht, it`s possible to update your Android 10 rom, it´s also possible your compile a lineage 17.1 / lineage 18.1 rom? The project treble rom`s (gsi) have too manny errors... (for Xperia X Compact F5321)

Thanks!

I'd donate for a LineageOS ROM with a 4.x kernel. AOSP lacks too many useful features LineageOS has but the non-treble LineageOS ROM available for these Xperia devices lack Camera2 API Level 3 neeed for Gcam.

I'd second this for the F5321. AOSP10 is great for GCam but lacks features/stability. Lineage with the 3.x kernel is smooth and stable but no Camera2 API. It's lose-lose

Only problem I am having now is with the camera. It has focus issues. Every shot comes out blurry. Even if the image is focused fine from the AF, it checks and changes focus right before recording the picture and saves an out of focus image. Touching the screen for manual focus also causes the image to blur.

Do you think this is related to unlocking the bootloader? I had read that Android 9 no longer broke the camera system. Or does it sound like a hardware issue?

Wanted to circle back to this exact camera issue after not finding any answers.

One of my F5321's has had this problem since day one out of the box brand new and I couldn't fix it no matter what. I tried everything - different camera apps, different roms, kernels, tweaks etc. and eventually after nothing worked, I gave up.

Recently I bought a second F5321 brand new and the camera is completely fine. No focus issues at all even though it has the exact same setup as my first F5321. I can only surmise that it's a quality control issue with this device and if focus issue persists it's due to faulty camera hardware/connection.

Does gps work on this Rom without phone data ? I have installed the Rom, enabled gps, wifi scanning and Google location service. But still gps does not work. Apps cannot find my location .

Now I do not use my Sim with this phone. It is a backup phone so I cannot enable data on this phone. I have not signed into gmail account as well on this phone since I am trying a degoogled phone. Are any of these 2 reasons that gps does not work on my phone?

 

[GOrMHATRe]

Can anyone help me with the GPS ? I really need it to work. DO I need to activate the phone with a google account for gps to work ? I have enabled everything else. But GPS is not working it. I really need it to work.

I had problems with GPS as well. Was very unreliable and slow, if I remember correctly. I think it is a known kernel issue and nothing can be done here on your side, as long as there are no new updates to the ROM...

 

[armorgeddon]

@GOrMHATRe I can't help apart from that you could install the app "GPSTest" and see what that tells you.​

I have GPS on my Xperia X F5121 working btw though I'm using the LineageOS ROM, which has other issues instead.

I really appreciate the effort of the developers, but honestly it is better official Android 8 on this phone (34.4.A.2.118). There are random reboots (when using Wifi), excessive battery consumption (on the official rom you can activate Stamina), Hardware radio is not there, but more than anything else USB OTG does not work(with external camera)

If you want a stable ROM to use daily, you should fall back on the versions of LineageOS @Chippa_a developped or any ROM based on a Linux version anterior to 4.9.23. Unfortunately, this kernel is not stable enough for this device and the most compulsive issue encountered by users is random reboots. Unless a kernel developer is willing to put his hands under the hood, Android 10 and higher will be complicated :-/ One could base his work off Chippa_a's vendor blobs, but he is not that much active, as of late

 

[armorgeddon]

Unfortunately Chippa_a's LOS ROM also has issues, so when you switch from AOSP to LOS or vice versa you just exchange certain issues for others. AOSP letting you run Gcam though is a big plus if you're into taking photos.
