Hey all,
I have a quick question here & hope to get answers (please )
Here's the deal, I want to buy mom the l7 and would like to know if it's like enough for texting, calling, browsing the Web, the basics..?
I know some people with l7 and it's laggy like hell, it takes years to unlock the screen, but I believe in PEBKAC, so I thought maybe they messed it up.

Hello,
In my opinion is enough.I have P700(l7),and after i change it room(cyanogen 10) whit a couple of tweaks is a beter phone.But is my opinion.I have now a faster phone for browsing,facebook and games.
HI.
It's a terrible device.
Lag lag lag lag la- you get it.
I can recommend a phone for you.
But I live in New Zealand, if you could get me the price for the l7 in USD, and I will guarantee to find the best phone.
Don't look at my rank, I had an old account which I can't log into, which was a really high rank.

I agree with you!!:good:
It's a pretty neat phone when you upgrade it to JellyBean. Just a few lags, overall pretty smooth! Totally worth it for basic use, although I wouldn't recommend for extreme gaming and heavy use.
Now i installed avatar rom from a polish site.Look very well and smoot.I al so instaled a few tkeaks(crossbreader and ac!d sound).

For for texting, calling, browsing the Web and if by "the basics" you don't mean Facebook or Gmaps (which are memory hogs) then I recommend the L7. But NOT with stock rom, I use Cyanogen nighlty, Gandalf kernel and 4cyl turbo and I'm quite happy with the performance.

Screen viewing angle is bad. You can see it only at 90 degrees, and if you are inside. Outside even on cloudy weather you cant see goddamn thing on it. Google for l7 reviews. Also battery drains too quickly even on standy. Its little better if you turn off wifi during inactivity. Best is if you put your phone in airplane mode. I think thats due some modem/baseband problems on some networks. I use european open rom on T-mobile, maybe on some other networks battery performs better...
did I mention non-existing oleophobic screen coating?
1. Very good thing about l7... LAUNCHER IS AWESOME.. i newer saw such swift and fluid launcher like this LGUI 3.0.

I got it and Im pretty happy with it, if you flash CM10, V2.1.1 kernel, turn on things in performance and phone does work with almost no laggs in games, launcher or everything.
Screen is pretty screwed because of angle and brightness, but its okay.
Battery drain issue can be fixed by buying better battery via eBay like this:

You may have a bad battery or phone. I'm getting amazing battery life from my new atrix, old one got really hot (battery over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and this lead to miserable battery life
I was playing Angry Birds Rio the other day and noticed my phone got pretty dang hot after 20-30 minutes of playing. I had to stop because I didn't want it overheating. I'll have to play the game again and see if it does it again and see if I may have a defective unit.

Hello all. I am going camping for 5 days and I was wondering how I can get the best battery life out of my phone on 1 charge. (I won't have any electricity for 5 days)
I am currently using cnote's port of ice cold sandwich Rossi edition. I will be only using my phone for playing music and taking pictures. The phone will be in airplane mode for 5 days.
My question is if its good to idle it for 5 days in airplane mode or shut it down if it won't be used for more than 5 hours? Does it require more power when booting or does it consume less battery power when idling?
Thanks in advance.

The Indian's recommendation is good.
I would shut it off at night. Airplane mode will save LOTS of juice, but nothing saves power like being off for hours. Lol.
You might also consider one of those portable external chargers. They're pretty cheap.

They have campsites with wi-fi? Daaaamn. I've got to find one of those.
Sorry for being brief, if you only need it for 5 hours of just listening to music and reading ebooks, any rom other than sense 4 and stock will serve you well. Underclock so CPU max is 700ish (thats all you need) and turn it off completely if you aren't using it. I also recommend buying an external battery from amazon. Anker makes nice big ones of like $20

Pretty much anything non-sense by TDJ. I swear everything I've gotten at least 3 days with use on every one of his roms/kernels.
I've even gotten 2 days on DARKSIDE sense. But it's always a good idea to keep an external charger if you're going to be gone for a while. Whenever I go on a business trip, even though I know that there will be available outlets, I always keep an external charger in case anything happens. Plus, it's always nice to not have to stick around a wall when you're charging your phone and have to use it at the same time.
I only get 3 hours on screen time.
I used to get 6 hrs on my 8gb.

Any way sorry for going off on one about iPhone at least this is the general section

Anyhow, is the battery quickly draining normal?

You probably mean the Anti-Shatter Film (ASF), which is pre-installed on your phone, contains the Sony logo, cannot be removed easily (removing it voids your warranty!) and is not very scratch-resistant unfortunately.
It's highly recommended to apply a screen protector on top of it, as soon as possible, before it's scratched! In some territories (e.g. Germany), Sony even includes a screen protector in the box.
U need to be rooted to freeze certain apps and i always have great battery life. But make sure ur GPS is off that ur emails account don't sinc like crazy also I have basically every sony app either uninstalled or frozen. I am on 13 and a half hours. With 5 and half hours screen on time and still have 29% battery left. And mediaserver is an android related issue. As soon u listen to any type of music it will come on and never quit running afterwards. No matter if music player or so one of the biggest one is probably Spotify really battery drainer. But u can improve ur battery if u use stamina mode on the xperia z.

Honestly tho, the beta ios 7 isn't as smooth as you might think. It feels like stuck butter at time to time and some of the animations are just too slow. Where as in android, we can control that. Personally, I like customization over the simple and cartoon like interface.
Now that being said, I'm not saying ios isn't any competition. It is and it always will be. Therefore, we'll see improvements being made for either platforms.
I don't really miss much about ios. After all, I felt like I hit the limit on how much I can do and utilize in a smartphone.
I do like the new interface and whatnot. But it stops there. This is the reason why I really missed my android.
I never thought that jailbreak would give me powerful tools to play with. But it was way too buggy and I've had to restart my phone like every hour. More like 'jail lock'
Now back to xperia z. I've noticed today that the battery has been terrible. (little over 24 hours)
Here is my battery life picture. (also stamina is enabled along with various other features to save juice )

Youve got pretty bad battery life.if its a new xz or if u ve flashed a new firmware, wait for a week till the battery adjusts to the hardware.
If its a old xz and u have significant batt loss ,then what I would do is reset using pc suite or root my device.
There's a new firm rollin out, so update to it and check ur batt usage

Anyone here suffer the occasional keyboard lag? How about pressing a single letter will cause you to type that letter multiple times?
How about when you're flipping through your home pages or app draw you get that transition lag?
I'm getting lag way too often with my phone I'm considering it taking it back and trying out another one see if it act the same. So far my experience with this phone has been rather disappointing considering the lag.
There's even a thread here about the Play Store lag when you choose an app then it takes a few seconds for the app to pop up. I'm even getting that lag.

I have experienced the same issues on my Vzw version. Lots of weird issues popping up the last few days.
The play store is having some issues right now so I haven't compared that yet.
I have none of these issues and I'm on week 3 with the phone. AT&T.

I'm on CleanRom for the last 3 or 4 days. Just trying to narrow down these issues. First 2 weeks I didn't see these problems. I think I may go back to stock and see if that clears things up any.

I just returned my phone and i'm currently on the new one. First thing I noticed different was the RAM consumption was extremely high on the first unit. I only had about 250 MB available with this new phone I'm up to 850 not sure that was the issue but we shall see.

I have noticed that once this device hits about 400mb of free ram it starts to lag very bad at 300 its un usable, mine sits at 780 after a reboot and around 550 after about an hour, also if you dont kill the sms after say 30-40 text the keyboard gets very slow, the ram optimization on this phone is absurd and absolutely ****, this is the only thing holding this phone back from being epic

No.... But the word "bloat" is used so loosely here on Xda. Exactly what is bloat? Is bloat just an app that actually bogs down your phone or is it just an app that people don't use but the carriers force upon you?
Cause really I don't see how an app that's not running really slow down a phone with this kind of specs.

The keyboard problem has nothing do to with "bloat" and more of a problem in the keyboard itself and its odd how the phone was a monster for 2-3 weeks and now is buggy even with a factory reset, about 3 weeks is what im seeing on here when some ppl are seeing problems come up, im on att btw.

I agree. Bloat is more of the second scenario you mentioned above. It shouldn't slow the phone down at all but unfortunately carriers tend to ruin these phones more than help them out with their software doing all kinds of stuff in the background
This is why the note 3 and S4 are suffering from lag issues even though technically they shouldn't be considering what's under the hood spec wise as well

It's not carrier related either. Because my Vzw version is doing the same things the at&t version.

Note3 and s4 lag cuz of touch wiz has nothing to do with the amount of apps.
Here's a bit of an update:
Well I returned the original phone this morning because of all the issues I was having in the original post.
So far so good with the new phone, been playing with it for hours since I got it and everything appears silky smooth there's definitely a night and day difference even while the available RAM still seems kind of low.
I might have actually got a detective phone.... I'm recommending anyone who has any of these issues and are still return within your return policy, to just get another phone while you can.

This is exactly correct. The S4 and Note 3 lag has absolutely very little to do with bloat. It's because Touchwiz isn't even optimized for Jelly Bean yet. It's trash.

I experience little lag. Nothing major, maybe because of Nova launcher that the I use and the SwiftKey keyboard rather than stock.
Lately I have been experiencing weird issues with playstore freezing up. I read somewhere Google is experiencing problem with their service so it is probably not the phone.
-LG G2
weird.. had mine since launch day, rooted now, removed all bloat and i never have lag. using swiftkey though so idk about keyboard lag, but that stock keyboard seemed pretty sweet
