Official Stock 4.3 Bugs list - Xperia Tablet Z General

Hi there,
I am currently on 10.4.B.0.569 india generic firmware on SGP321. My first impression is that the 4.3 rom is awesome! Project butter is really doing their job pretty well. However, I still found a couple of bugs; some of them are pretty annoying. And I am not really sure if everyone has the same problems or if i am the only one who has them. Those bugs are listed below:
1. Black Wallpaper: it appears for a few second after playing some heavy games or a extensive use of facebook app or web browser. It is back to normal in a matter of seconds but it is pretty annoying.
2. App icon is out off the folder: trying to apply the new theme and the problem appear, but after a few reboots it was back to normal.
3. Video playback seem to not working properly: I try to play some 720p or 1080p videos and it skips a few frame. It looks pretty laggish. It does not happen to every 720p videos, but i usually have that problem with mkv dvdrip format 23.97fps which was fine in 4.2.2. Switching to S/W mode in MX player seem to fix the problem.
4. Battery life: seem to consume a little more than it used to in 4.2.2. I usually get 8-9h of screen on. In 4.2.2, i got around 8-10h. Amazingly, in 4.1.2 i got up to 11h of video playback.
5. Screen flickering from times to times
That's all I found so far. Tell me if u have the same problems and feel free to add more.
Have a nice day!

As far as i understood shutdown time depends on a number of programs loaded in memory (not installed but running at the moment) and on unmounting of SD-card. Cause it takes some time to unload them properly, unmount partitions, sd and then shut down.

I sometimes have wifi problems aswell, have to reset the tabz to use the Internet, tried with 3 other routers and never had a problem on 4.2.2

Of course, i forgot about the flickering. In Messenger app or browser, ususally when the keyboard is on, but not always.

I think it is router related. I once use both my tablet and phone at the same and unfortunately wifi drop on both device.

Emails don't get marked as read anymore when I open them.

MHL/HDMI output does not scale picture to tv, which means the aspect ratio is messed up (wide faces etc). Did work perfectly in 4.1.2. Sony support blames Google.

If you have video format issues try using Mx player latest version with custom codec, video will run fine in Hw mode

I only had the folder one but it fixed itself and i noticed a little flicker while using chrome but only once

I recently bought a SGP311 and went from 4.1.2 straight to 4.3. Even though my tablet was new, I did a factory reset anyway while installing the new android. The tablet took a minute to shut down. Minor annoyance really. But my first impression was that it hanged on shutdown.
That said, I returned that tablet b/c of a loose back. I got a brand new one and have kept it on 4.1.2 for now until I see problems are being addressed. Most notably battery life and HD video issues.
This is a very good thread for me to track issues. Thank-you OP for this thread.
And in 4.3, how do you get the small small apps as available in 4.1.2? Im still trying to learn my ropes on the tablet, but as I have returned the updated tablet, I'd like to know this is possible.

A factory reset removed the flickering from my SGP311

I have problem in my SGP 321 and more people had the same
with the LTE ... the icon apears like i don't have signal...
but i have ... it's strange .. :S
if someone can help...

On mine, there's only the battery gauge bug: When the battery is low (below 40% or so), if the tablet is restarted, the battery indicator suddenly shows over 50% afterwards, which is definitely wrong.

now whit android 4.3 (.569) i have one interesting problem -whit games specialy NOVA 3 after playing a while the deveise is restarting ....with android 4.1.2 i don't have these problem

...any solution ? :crying: i reallly like these game

Weird I am running new stock 4.3 and I haven't faced any of the issues my battery is way better then 4.2 I get a few days out of it with light use with mouse and keyboard. Mhl works great for me. If you have the option in your TV.you can fix it.by using screen fit. Haven't had a single reboot either with my tab z

After restart of the tablet the energymanagement start new. So the count of the complete battery runingtime is wrong

Nexus 7 freezing issues

Alright, I am currently on my third Nexus 7 and getting a little frustrated. I really love this device and would love to customize it the way I want but I hold back just in case I have to return another one. My question is, is anyone else experiencing problems with their tablet randomly freezing? I havent seen any forums discussing this particular problem. I have a hunch it could be the Facebook app that is causing this but that is just a theory. Below is a video of said freezing problems. Sorry for the quality; it was late, i was drinking and enjoying Netflix.
Not that I've heard of, but a quick forum search would easily confirm or deny this.
Edit reason: added detail.

If your anything like me I'm constantly force stopping apps because why should they still be running of I'm not using it, right? Well I was having the same issue as you. Freezing and studdering on a quad core CPU. Mainly it was freezing in the settings menu. So I stopped force closing all these apps I usually do and the freezing stopped. I'm on about a week in with my 3rd nexus 7 and not one freeze. So if you do do as I do try just letting the apps be and "kill" them instead.

The way android is designed, apps are supposed to run in the background. Your not supposed to have a lot of free ram. 100 mb of free ram is the same as 5 mb... If it's free ram it isn't doing anything but being wasted just sitting there. Task killers are useless since eclair 2.1.the reason apps run the in the background is so you can open an app where you last left off. Among lots of other reasons. Let android manage the tasks it's really good at it.

I've had a few freezing issues on my nexus 7. I've only had it a couple of days. It becomes completely unresponsive for minutes and never recovers. I have to hold down the power button until it shuts off (20 seconds maybe).
I've had a number of other quirks that really show (to me) that you get what you pay for. Its a cheap tablet with a top end CPU/GPU, but that's about it.
Not sure what my next step is, but I doubt I would be happy with the shortcomings of the Nexus 7 even if I had a perfect device. I think I just like higher end devices is all, and I don't mind paying more for something that just works with no compromise.
Again just my opinion.

No such problems here, but if I were you I would use the Linux command line commands : top, ps, free, df. With those you should be able to find out if an app or process is misbehaving. You need to install the terminalIDE app and read about those commands.

Freezing issues
I just purchsed one... Used it for 2 days. After using for a while I consistantly had freezing, particularly when typing. I called it in for a RMA refund. Don't know what the issue is, but moving on to something more tried and true.

Freezing - yes now and then...
My Nexus 7 freezes occasionally. I have noticed that when it restarts there's a bunch of updates. Me thinks that maybe the CPU was busy doing updates while I was keying in / touching the screen etc and couldn't cope...but maybe not. These apps seem to update a lot, same goes for my notso :silly: smartphone.
Anybody else come back to your Nexus 7 that is actually completely off and requires a power button and volume down hold in order to restart? Also I find the Android OS is consuming much of the battery in some instances.

Bought my N7 three days ago and it worked brilliantly after installing all my apps from the play store then I got the message to update the OS from 4.2 to 4.2.1 which I duly obliged. Thereafter it was a totally different device with crazy stuttering just swiping home screens and and solid freezes on chrome which was especially bad. I had to do at least half dozen soft re sets when everything ground to a halt and a factory wipe none of which helped. I spent this afternoon using the nexus toolkit to unlock+root my N7 and installed nightly CyanogenMod 10.1 with jb20121212 Gapps and individually reinstalled+tested every app from play store including Chrome. Its (thankfully) now buttery smooth again and I've not had any problems whatsoever in the past 8 hours of using it. This surprised me as CM10.1 is based on 4.2.1 and maybe suggests its a problem with the stock Gapps included in the OTA?
I love android but Google are releasing these updates before they're ready and it makes the OS look unreliable in the eyes of the average consumer who has no interest in rooting and flashing roms.

I bought my wife a first generation Nexus 7 about 2 years ago and everything was fine with the tablet and is now updated with stock 4.4.4. Recently she started noticing that it would freeze for no reason and finally it got to the point where it would freeze very soon after it was booted up. I cleaned the cache and factory reset but the problem persisted. Obviously the unit is out of warranty but I called Asus to see if they could offer any advice. The only answers I got was that they couldn't do anything and it sounded like there was a problem with the motherboard. They also told me I could sent the tablet in for repairs but it would probably cost around $200! After laughing out loud at this ridiculous amount I told them I'd just go buy a Samsung Tab 4 for my wife and forget the Nexus. I bought the 8 inch Tab 4 and my wife is happy with the functioning of the product. BUT, I decided to give the Nexus 7 another chance at life so I utilized the Nexus Root Toolkit and I kept the stock 4.4.4 ROM instead of going the custom ROM route. I am pleased to report that there was NO motherboard problem and this tablet is working great so I am now the proud owner of the Nexus 7.
3year later. Still the same on 5.0.2
I really want to break this tablet on someones head who made it.
After 5.02 ...
It slowed down substantially. I did the "clear cache" which helped a little. It's so slow web browsing that I may as well not even try ... often 15 seconds to a minute to respond to a link click.
SO ... use it mostly for the Kindle app. I don't think it is the app fault, but when it locks up now, I see nothing on the screen; finally determined that it was in the process of downloading an update to some app or another, and the downloading locks the system if the kindle app is on the screen ... and seems to be a major slowdown other times.
Maybe there will be a 5.03 getting the performance back to KitKat levels.

[Q] Lag / Stutter - Nexus 4

I've been having this issue for a while, occasionally the phone would lag/stutter when simply swiping through home screens or the apps drawer (With no applications open) it would still run games and apps perfectly smooth though. Only way to fix the lag is to turn wi-fi off and back on, restart the phone, or wait for the lag to go away. Any thoughts on this? has anyone been experiencing this? I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anyone experiencing this.
Here is a video I uploaded:
you might be better off trying a factory reset tbh. this hasnt been a vocalized issue
Do you have a constant wifi connection during the lag?
On my xperia arc it connects and immidatly disconnects again and because of this the lag appears..

Did a factory reset but lag still occurred occasionally.
If you have a Google Play Music widget on your home screen, that may be the cause of the occasional lag. I removed the widget and so far no lag.
This is normal for an Android phone regardless of clockspeed, number of cores or GPU power.

Never had this issue with my previous devices and others seem to be not having this issue, so I don't think it is normal for an Android to behave this way.
I'll add my voice to this thread.
I've had mine since the weekend. Yesterday night, it started stuttering, in exactly the way you said. I restarted, it went away for a bit, then came back. I tried killing all running applications, made no difference. Another restart fixed it and its smooth as it was again.
Wonder if it is the WiFi causing it?
Incidentally, I was reading some custom kernels fixed the problem for some, but I'd rather not get back into all that nonsense (I've had enough flashing ROMs to last a lifetime thus far).

I only get this initially when I restart it and when its on. Swiping first time stutters. Then all ok

So your phone is not rooted and you haven't flashed anything on it? Maybe you can remember when this started and you install some app , maybe it causes this? If so this is not normal! go to the thread dediacated to factory re-flash , this is the only option then

Phone is not rooted or flashed. Might be an issue with one of the apps but it would be very hard to isolate the issue. I have requested a replacement device from Google since I couldn't figure out the cause of it.
Mine does stutter ocasionally but thought that is normal... In xda-app it stutter on almost every single scroll.

It has no problems running apps, perfectly smooth, no lag at all. The stutter only occurs occasionally when simply scrolling through the home screen or app drawer.
It's normal because it's Android.
Android lags. And will forever. It lagged on the G1, it lags on the N4. It will lag on the N5.
It will lag until Google decides to fix Android.
All the people who claim that their device doesn't lag are lying. Simple as that.

How bout I love to flash Roms but every time I lose half my memory so I have to box cloud everything if I do so I can format internal storage is this because the 8 and 16 GB models running in the same threads maybe?

Disable hw overlay . then rebooted phone & turned it back off. No problems since.
The play music however nothing has worked.
Google says to uninstall updates to it then reinstall updates.. I'll have to mess with it to see if it has worked..
I love the phone for the most part. It just seems like they rushed to get it out to sell.
Doesn't really hold up to all the hype ,Keyboard cannot spell allot of words. touch sucks on it (light touch). Virtual keys don't hide in games.
Battery life yea no life in it. Factory launcher is boring.. I could go on. Lmao
I'm almost ready to give apple a try
Their are quite a few smaller issues as well.
Snapdragon battery guru seems to help the battery a tiny bit.

My N10 suffers from random reboots and memory leaks every couple days. But after flashing a 4.3 rom those problems almost dissapear with the updated Mali drivers from Samsung
So right now its a no issue, at least for me
Had screen flicker, but went away with the kit kat update (fingers still crossed).
Only had one reboot and that was on 4.3.

I've been using mine for almost over a week. It came with 4.2.x and asked for update to 4.3 right after unpacking. Never had a single problem for a week with 4.3 and now using 4.4 which i manually updated. Still had no problems.
No problems here too..
The reason that you maybe find much 'complains' is because people with a problem are searching for a fix. But hou never hear a word from people without problems.. Well until now
I really love this tablet. Fast and oh te screen.

I've not had too many issues with my N10. I've mostly been running CM10.2 on it, but I've put KitKat on it now and it's purring like a happy cat.
Solid with 4.4 so far.
4.3 eliminated a number of the screen issues with the updated Mali drivers. Looks like they were updated further under 4.4 as the Google site shows new binaries for 4.4.
I'm running stock 4.4 and have 0 issues. Didn't with 4.3 either. Can't say for anything earlier, I'm newer to the device.
Still running 4.3 here, but mine reboots randomly a couple of times a week.
Waiting to see what 4.4 will do.

I had massive problems before, but it works like a charm since 4.4!

4.4 seems so far (over two days uptime with Chrome installed!) to have fixed the massive memory leaks on this device.. 4.3 never seemed to release memory correctly and SystemUI would bloat to 200MB and completely implode on itself. Now it seems memory is releasing fine, and SystemUI is fluctuating in memory usage like it should be now..
I was given an N10 for my bday back on Sept 30 and its gotten almost daily use. I can say with full confidence that I have experienced ZERO problems. No memory leaks (if its going on I cant tell...the performance is snappy as hell!) no light bleed and definitely no random reboots. I have thrown the most hardware intensive games at it and they all work better than I had hoped for. It does exactly what I want it to do when I want it to do it.
I've had it for about half a year and used daily and I've had one or two reboots during that time, quite long ago now, otherwise it's been perfectly smooth and had no issues.
The photo editor crashes while editing large images (probably runs out of memory), haven't tried it on 4.4. But that's really not a issue as I normally use Photoshop on my pc anyway.
So far I never had any other issues at all, no random reboots or anything else. 4.3 was running smoothly as is 4.4 which I have now. The only modifications I have made are rooting it so I can use certain apps, and I didn't even have to reroot after the 4.4 ota.
tldr: mine works like a charm.

Mine suffers extremely bad with memory leaks and random reboots when I have Location Services on. If I turn Location off, it doesn't reboot but after 30 hours or so, it slows to a complete crawl and redraws the launcher every 2 seconds thus making me have to manually reboot it. It's usable and I still use it every day, but I'm definitely not ecstatic with it and I'll likely replace it as soon as another tablet running stock Android and with a beautiful screen comes along. Hopefully I'm not waiting too long.
I get a reboot on average every 3 days. Usually while in the browser.. Screen will just flash white and reboots.. Never slows down before had.. No sign of trouble either..

I haven't had any reboots from the browser yet, but I did get a hard freeze while using the HBO app yesterday. That's actually new, never saw it before the update so hopefully it's just a one time thing.

I'm having problems with any rom later than 4.2. The 4.3 roms cause random reboots, and 4.4 will not install.... Something about some E: error.
I've gotten into the habit of wiping for factory reset before every flash.....so I have no idea why the problem with flashing the 4.4 roms. :silly:

Screen heating and crashing of music player.

Hello! New to the forums. Excuse me if this is asked before. Well, my Samsung S5's screen becomes hot when i surf for say 10 minutes or so. The surfing usually is Facebook(app), Instagram(app), Whatsapp and some web page search on chrome.
While my screen becomes hot, the back side of phone seems normal. By normal i mean warm! No issues with the back though! I've cleared the cache by wipe partition cache. Also i did a reset (delete and restore to factory settings). But it works good for few hours or maybe more. And again it behaves the same.
Second part, While using the mentioned apps above, i listen to music. First i used to listen by default 'Music' player. Then switched to JetAudio presuming that default player is the culprit. So whenever i listen to music be it any player, it crashes. And i have to clear the RAM or close apps so that i can listen it again. But even after doing this it crashes after 30 minutes or an hour. I don't know if this is to be happened in this 2014 Flagship phone. Throw some light on me as i'm using android for the first time who used to use Symbian before.
Thanks.
No one to my rescue?
Am I on the wrong platform? Anyways I installed Stellio player and the issue of music player crashing is solved if anyone comes across this issue can install a third party music player (Stellio or poweramp). But the heating problem still persists.
When you surf, are you connected on a Wi-Fi network or are you using your mobile data?
For your music player, I'm glad you found a fix. However it is odd that the stock music player will crash and that you have to use a third-party player for doing such simple task. I never had the problem, but nevertheless it's good to hear you've fixed the problem yourself.

Stock ROM, Yes Lollipop the latest release.
I might say the heating issue is because your phone is running Lollipop. The heat issue is more prominent than on KitKat due to the fact that the UI is now all white, unlike in KitKat which is all dark. More white or colored pixel means more light emitted and more light means more power which is later transformed into heat.

So, In this case you are saying that the heating issue in Lollipop is totally normal? Okay, I might not worry if there are several users complaining about the heating issue in Lollipop!

The heat issue existed since the days of S4 and on S5 running KitKat but the difference is that KitKat doesn't cause that much heat due to the fact that the UI is dark all over, lessening the power the screen has to draw to the display.

I've been using dark wallpapers and dark themes wherever possible. Also i've reduced the screen brightness to the lower side. Let's see how it behaves.
