Hi community,
I've bought an E4g some two weeks ago and have read through the topics here, so here are the things i noticed that could get fixed. All observed on latest software 25.0.A.2.14. Note that I did a repair with PC Companion too see if any of those would dissappear, no change.
1.) Each time phone gets turned off or restarted the screen on time in battery usage stops refreshing until screen is turned off and on again (by itself or by locking/unlocking with power button), then it's ok again until next reboot.
2.) Phone when charged fully until it stops charging by itself causes the battery gauge to run down faster than it should, resulting in it arriving to 1% too early (somewhere above 3.6 V, normally shutdown is at 3.4 V), or in other words I can still use the phone with more than an hour screen-on time until it finally shuts down. Also read that it charges faster when nearing full charge, can confirm that. Normally it's other way around, it slows as it gets to full charge. When phone is drained fully and shuts down, then charged to 95% it's ok, but then a big chunk of capacity is wasted since it's not really 90%, but less. But charge the phone fully to 4.3 V and the gauge runs down faster than the actual state of the battery really is at. Either way the the gauge is not streched to encompass the full capacity but rather some 70-80% so it displays either the lower or upper range of charge instead of stretching itself across the whole range. Think it's a kernel gauge software issue and it's really annoying. Seen similar posts which probably probably describe the same issue. It's not simply a calibration matter at which the phone user can influence.
3.) When charging, the LED orange to green transition at 90% is hard to notice (they're quite similar), my old xperia phone could be clearly distinguished.
4.) When charging the screen becomes less responsive (not registering taps, and swipes often registered as taps which leads to selection of things when swiping over them).
All of those look like software issues (only not sure about the display sensitivity when charged) so would be great if it can be forwarded to the relevant people for a future software update.
If anyone has noticed any of those things or other write it down so we can reference with each other. Thx 🙂
Great phone for the money btw.
