Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Sony Mobile Communications would like to provide an update in response to the recently highlighted concerns regarding excessive battery drain on some Xperia models running android 4.4.1 or higher. We have identified that the root cause of this is related to the latest version of Google Play Services (4.4.52).
Until a new version of Google Play Services is provided by Google we urge users to either uninstall the latest update of Google Play Services (might limit use of Google Services like Youtube) or go to Settings > Google (accounts) > Ads > Tick the box for Opt out of interest-based ads, and also disable back up of your data by going to Settings > Backup & reset (Personal) > uncheck the box for “Back up my data.

How to get coordinates from Google Map

I wonder how to get coordinates from Google Map to JavaFX application when click has occured. Here is an example of code:
public class JavaFXApplication extends Application {
public void showCoordinates(String coords)
        System.out.println("Coordinates: " + coords);
    @Override public void start(Stage stage)
        final WebView webView = new WebView();
        final WebEngine webEngine = webView.getEngine();
        webEngine.load(getClass().getResource("googlemap.html").toString());
        webEngine.getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener(
                new ChangeListener<State>() {
                    @Override
                    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends State> ov, State oldState, State newState) {
                        if (newState == State.SUCCEEDED) {
                            JSObject window = (JSObject) webEngine.executeScript("window");
                            window.setMember("java", new JavaFXApplication());
        BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
        root.setCenter(webView);
        stage.setTitle("Google maps");
        Scene scene = new Scene(root,1000,700, Color.web("#666970"));
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();

Battery drain from Bedside mode

Hi, I've encoutnered battery drain before with programs and OS updates. I've done resets, reboots as well as battery reinserts. My device seems to be stable after 10.3.1. I had WiFi, Network and blend, and power saver on at 5% battery. I wasn't using the phone but just used the Blackberry blend software on other ohter devices to check emails. The battery lasted about 4-5 hours before it finally powered off. When i put the phone with the same options but in Beside Mode and did a lock to clear the active use of the display. Apart from Blackberry Blend being off and showing as such in Quicks ettings. The battery drain went down 97% to 74%. By the device manage the battery went down over 2% every hour in a standby mode, where compared to out of Bedside mode with blend on it was 1% an hour. No programs really stand out as causing drain nothing 10% or more since last charge before I put it into Bedside mode. Even normal standby mode with the screen off the battery drain is less. What could be causing this, anyone heard of sometthing similar.

the battery drain in the Night Mode is also happening to my leap device, with all the apps closed, and even Economic Mode activated. i try to figure out what is happening. I will come back if i find the solution. I am also looking for a Battery Saver app. I had a great app on my previous phone, an Android, but I still look for a similar app for BB10.

From Google Maps user point of view

Hi,
I come from Android and Google 's services.
I'm really impressed by Windows Phone 8 (and really happy too for my migration).
I have bought a Nokia Lumia 620.
One of more important services in Nokia is Nokia HERE Maps, for sure. Because it can replace a central Google service as Google Maps.
By the way some things are missing and I wonder if they are going to be in Nokia Maps or I will never be a 100% satisfied user and will have to deal with it.
My suggestions are:
1. A lot of POI are missing from maps. In the future can a single user add or correct POI simply from his smartphone?
Communities work well usually. It could be also that every place has a number for its actions, so you can trust for a POI with an higher number of interactions despite of a POI with only one random action.
2. Can I save POI to create a personal map and then view it as a layer on the main map?
For example "restaurants in Milan".
3. Nokia Maps still lack of calendar and contacts integration but, probably, it's more on Microsoft.
Thanks!

And a "save to contacts" function too.

Is there a way to get "user created" content from google maps on my touch?

Hi,
I have tried to figure out a way to load some saved maps I have made on Google Maps on to my ipod touch but it hasn't been working. I don't see any options to load such info and when I tried to go to gmaps from the Safari browser it automatically loads the Map app...I bypassed this by sending an email with a link to the user created content but safari had trouble reading the page probably due to frames or some other inline content...There has to be a way to do this - it is a really valuable feature to have, especially since the user community has offered up their maps to the web as well.
HELP?

Welcome to the Forums!
If you're using a Mac, you can save the maps a jpg images, then transfer them to your IPT using FileMarkMaker.
Hope this helps...

After IOS 5.0.1 upgrade - Battery drain from 100% down to 78% the following day

I had charged my iphone 4S battery to 100% and my ipad battery to 100% also: both upgrade to 5.0.1, I had plugged it out and I had left it on stand by before I go bed. The following morning I noticed iphone 4S battery down to 78% and my ipad battery down to 99%. Surprised with iPhone 4S battery drain so quickly and where is coming from? I had to re-charged it again thro car charger. Happy with iPad 2 battery.
On iPhone 4S I had turned off all notifications accept Messages, EirText Pro, WhatsApp and Tango . The Location Services is switch to off competely. I have gmail account setting to push to off and manually get the emails. iCloud switch to off.
Is there any advised on the battery issue or is Apple to issue another upgrade 5.0.2 to solved the battery on iPhone 4S?

After two days trying out the problem with my iPhone 4s battery - I had "reset all setting", set up WiFi again and disable all location completely, change the notification list. My Gmail account setting to push to off and manually get the emails. iCloud switch tooff.
I had drain the battery completely until iPhone is dead as requested - I had it off for about ten minutes before re charge fully for overnight. I noticed battery had drain rapidly during day if I use messages and emails.
The next day I had re-charged fully to 100%, then plugged it out and I had left it on stand by before I go bed. The following morning I noticed iphone 4S battery down to 84% the same.
It hadn’t makes any differences or am I missing something…

? How to clear Recent Directions from Google maps

Does anyone know? I can't and I have like a hundred. I have disabled websearch so that can't be the cause. I also have uninstalled and reinstalled the app...no difference.

Are you signed in? If so, try going to Settings > Map History within Google Maps (assuming you're using version 2, which was released yesterday) and editing there.
You get to Settings by tapping the three horizontal bars in the lower left corner of the Google Maps display.

How to launch map application from google map link

Hello,
I am looking to find a way to have the map application on an iphone launch when someone opens this link from a website on their phone:

It only seems to open the map in safari and I can't find anything about how to change this by searching the web. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Battery drains from 10% to 0% very quickly

I think I'm getting fairly normal battery life but I've noticed on several occasions that when my battery reaches 10%, it drains to 0% very quickly. Far more quickly than normal. Anyone else encountered this? Any ideas as to why? I've let it completely drain and then fully recharged it but that didn't seem to help.

This is one of the many, many issues with "7", unfortunately.
It seems that everyone is seeing increased power consumption, (whether they're aware of it or not). I'm guessing (and this is just an educated guess) that the layering and background position sensing and active icons are all adding to the power consumption of each device.
I'm assuming that Apple, in its infinite wisdom, decided to show off all of these exciting new features, so they enabled everything by default. At least, that's what I would do, if I was a marketing type without technical knowledge...
Perhaps there will be a way to turn some or all of the "eye candy" features off in future updates, but that's more of an UNeducated guess!
As to all of the other issues being reported...well, I wouldn't want to be the employees responsible for going through the messages from their feedback pages.
You're not alone, but that doesn't improve our battery life, I'm afraid.

Battery drains from full charge to empty by iteslf

If i charge my mini and dont use it. the battey will discharge itself in a mater of two days. does this mean i need to change the battery or is this some kind of other malfunction, and is this a common problem.

After your mini is charged, how long is it you don't use your iPod?? When iPods are not used for a couple of days they go into something called "deep sleep", iPod's battery does drain a bit even when not in use (I'm not sure why but I use my iPod so much this barely happens to mine). What I do is set my alarm on, it'll turn on the iPod once a day even when I'm not using it and then the iPod turns itself off after no buttons are pressed; just so my iPod won't go into deep sleep

Battery drains from 100% to 99%

When I was charging my iPad it said it was at 100% so I unplugged it and it instantly dropped to 99%.
Can anyone help?

is that 1% every five minutes of use? Did you have it on watching it? or write down the time after 5 minute periods, or average over an hour (fropped 12% in an hour)? Was it in use while this drain was happening?
That still gives 8 hours and 20 minutes if use I beleive. I normally get at least ten hours, but dont do heavy gaming or anything.
A little more information on how you were using it and what the load is? (email being updated as often as possible, do you have dozens of apps that send you notifications? etc...)
