I vote for low RAM aka bad RAM management
and for options Other problems I add :
LED lights are on during voice call
&
LED lights lightshow in Walkman are connected to the volume so in higher volume they are always lit

maybe you should try some apps as "greenify" or "clean master" as they dont need root.. Idk if they fix something with your problem cause i never used 4.3 for more than 2 hours... but you still can try.. you can free more ram by disable your widgets too ..

low ram, lags & freezes all the time. poor multi-tasking also. 266 really does eat dirt

Many people say SuperCharger has only placebo effects. I used to think the same way. Until I got 4.3 update from Sony with its poor ram management.
Few days ago I installed SuperCharger MOD with service.jar patched. I used to have launcher redraws, keyboard disappearing, etc. Especially when I open heavy ram earwr app like chrome. Now, I rarely have these issues. I suggest you to try it out. I am now happy with my Xperia SP.

my main problem is screen flickering like a pulse every 1 second... everywhere.. in ui,games,photos.. even in cwm.. i cant fix it i have tried EVERYTHING .. differend kernels differend roms... 4.4 liquid rom with nayan kernel do the same :S its very annoying... but with 4.1.2 all works perfect...

266 is a piece of crap. when I bought the phone I upgraded right from the start to 4.3... and almost returned it to the store. but then I decided to downgrade to 4.1.2... man, its like heaven. best rom ever lol

When at 4.1.2, the song app will be stopped once i open chrome for browsing less than one song,
now at 4.3, the song apps will only be stopped/closed after 6 or 7 songs..
Although is an improvement, but i belief it is still a problem for android 4.3 for SP

I am back to stock .254. Avoiding all those bloatware prefering dolphin, shuttle music player, etc. So far, encountering no issues and system is fast. And I'm still resisting the urge to flash rooted 4.3.

In .266 everything is bad.
1)Ram management is 1big problem
2)volume bar disappeared
3)call starts with loudspeaker On
4)Camera..Maybe Sony installed 2.0 mp camera and telling it's 8.0 mp.
5)etc.

On my 254 - I greenify those apps which never exit even when I close them. And I freeze those not used.
Today, i spent 1 hour on music and 30 minutes fiddling with my calendar. Lost 7% (only?) battery...
Don't know - maybe 266 may increase its battery span as well if I apply the same processes...

As I know, Android will use RAM as many as possible. It is not same as Windows. When the phone needs more memory, the system will close background apps and unused apps automatically. So the Task Killer, Task Manager, Clean Master, is SUCKS. It will make your Android more slowly
Greenify will hibernate the apps, but I think the system will still uses half of memory if I'm not edit the build.prop, needs ROOT to edit :'(

So i send this to sony forums

they allready know that its a bug-fw.. every day people complain about problems on 4.3... and what makes me mad is that for almost all problems the solution is "do repair with sus" or "do factory reset" or "go your phone to local service" xD nvm at least the confirmed new bug fixing update... i can w8 for ever.. i just hope they will fix ALL the bugs..

Yeah sure, my point was that it would be cool have a lot of voters in that poll xD, so Sony could have a clear view (with external data) of whats is more important and what is actually causing issues with the XSP...
And... sadly my hopes are not so big with the new frimmware, it was more than 2 weeks and is not released yet....
In my case my major bugs is battery drain in 3g (the sonyericcson.wakeup thing) and ram management... and actually, a repair with PCC taked off all other bugs for me, and I did it only once xD

[SOLUTION] How to fix 4.4 camera (for non-root users)

Hi everyone,
After few days of playing with the 4.4 firmware, I found out that the camera takes very long time to boot, and sometimes it says "Camera not available". But fear not, here's the solution for it, don't need to root your phone or switch back to 4.3 Jellybean.
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All.
2. Look for Camera, Camera common and Camera extension
3. Force stop and clear all the data.
That's it! You're good to go. I hope this helps a lot of people

Then I don't know how to fix already. It works on mine tho. Maybe it's because of firmware update instead of clean install? Maybe clean install don't have the bugs lol.

Still no camera for me neither... Tried PCC, also tried complete wipe including boot and internal sdcard. No luck...

My camera works, but the start up time is too long, also focusing is not as fast as it used to be. I updated via pcc but in reality such problems are unacceptable for sony, with things not working for some, and working for others after updates.

Funny thing is I had the camera bug and after clearing data and etc it was Ok but I start getting the sound bug right after that weird...now I went back to 4.3 til the next update

My problem is that the phone overheats too frequently after taking a couple of pics in the day. I never had this issue before the update. Pissed off. For the first time ever, I'm considering downgrading.

Ah, yet another pointless reply from eclyptos

I think i dont have the Bug becouse i wiped everything SD Card, Data, System and Cache/Dalvik Cache and i didnt restore a Backup i installed everything manually again on 4.4 so i guess thats why i dont have any bug at all. I saw someone writing about false Structure on SD Card and if you restore Backups, so this might be the tricky Part where Users get the bugs from.

True. This is how have to be done.

some issues, not so major ones though
white balance is messed up, getting a strange white light from nowhere on right side of image when in landscape.
Also, AR effect was hanging up when I clicked a photo before saving it. After the steps in this thread, that one issue is gone, but the main camera is too messed up. 4.2 was better.
till now I was against putting custom roms in my z1, but now, if a rom includes the z2 camera app in a stable config, then I am going for it.

I used the repair option, so far the camera opens normally now and no lag yet. I really don't want to reset my phone each time a new firmware comes out.

Android Lollipop 5.0.2 Bugs / Troubles / Grievances

I just updated to lollipop using the official leaked ota for XT1068 and to my surprise it was full of stutters everywhere.
I did a complete wipe including the internal storage and reinstalled all my apps again. But seems like animations have taken a serious hit wid the newer update.
Steps to reproduce stutters or lags
1.Swipe down from status bar
Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...
2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)
Click on home button
Enjoy microstutters...
3. Go to settings
Click on any title..
The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...
Material design is said to be accompanied by fluidity which i failed to find on a 1gb ram quad core cpu phone with a dedicated a305gpu..
One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.
One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..
These are no personal modifications i require but these should been a must. for an oem like moto who favours stock android..its also necessary to put some easy things rather just making aosp as it is coz aosp is no where perfect.
People who say its a low end phone and m happy with whatever i m served on a low priced phone, plz stay away.
No i am not free enough to revert to kitkat as i have a busy life currently and i cant spend my every day reinstalling apps n setting them up ...
Edit -
Few more bugs
# wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..
# net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device...

Tried the 3 things you mentioned, and yes, I get it as well.
I thought it was only me, phew!

Report the same to official Moto support forums for MFN ,, maybe for these, moto is still not going global release ,, may be they would notice and try to improve

We're not soak testers though, just installed from zip.

I can confirm all three present ,,, but overall system response and especially ram management is improved ,,, I think these are aosp issues,

Not sure if bug or not, but suddenly the status bar has stopped changing colour according to the background. For example, first when I opened XDA on Chrome, the status bar changed to Orange. Same for MX Player. Now, it doesn't. Can anyone confirm or deny?

NOPE ,, checked it 3-4 times,, status bar color is still changing in xda chrome to orange (go to devices page of moto g ), and working in mx too
and the first lag pointed above (user profile ) is now much smoother now

Well, I changed back to "Merge apps and tabs" option and it's working in Chrome. Can't get it to work in MX Player. Which colour are you using for MX Player?

funny it was working with pink) ) selected but now its not working . In vlc its working and playstore is hard freezing sometimes ,, had to reboot it

I don't know if kk+xposed is better in performance than this stock lollipop. People that gave a try to this new build answer me please.

Do you have root? If yes, feel free to try my app/widget Toggle Data 5.0 (with Locale/Tasker support). The first post includes a fully functional, xda-exclusive free version.

I read on another thread about how battery life is worse when using Lollipop compared to Kit Kat any comment?

The key combination in recovery mode doesn't work, the factory reset from settings works, is this a bug?

Wow, these lags are not present in the Brazil Soak Test version. Glad I didn't rush after the Indian 5.0.2 Soak test.

@cygery Your data toggle app is #1 nothing has ever worked for toggling data before, now I've set it up with tasker perfectly, you da real MVP

i received the soak test for 5.0.2 and i have no problems with stutters, even doing the things you stated above. (XT1064)

Received 5.0.2 from soak test.
Was first upgraded to 5.0 then 9mb update to 5.0.1 and then 39mb update to 5.0.2
No lags whatsoever!

I am using the 5.0.2 22.21.28 final update on my XT1063 and all the things that you said is real, the lag is AWFUL, the animation lag, when you pull down the notification bar the animation just not play well, it seems to stutter, its really annoying, i wish i could back to KK, but i cannot downgrade anymore because i updated via OTA, people are really excited for lollipop in this forum (because, well, 90% of the threads in general section is about lollipop), I feel sad for them.

well, you can update if animations stuttering at some points after you start to do multitasking don't bother you, the system is pretty usable, but these animations lag is a killer for me, because material design its supposed to be more fluid than holo, and its not (at least on this device), but there's no lag for open apps and so on.

1,34GB big? No, I think it is a lot more since it is basically the whole Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM install size else they would just roll out a patch along the 0,2GB range.

Well I asked in the other thread about size and was told 1,35GB. That is roughly the same as the 5.1.1 update was. Seems quite big if they only are going to patch Starfright 2 and some minor tweaks/bug fixes. But then it can be that they fixed core bugs that needed updates to several system components or just that this is the final update for the Z1 line and thus they want to release a complete firmware.

It's over 1 GB because on XperiFirm you only get complete firmwares.
I bet the OTA notification on our phone will not download and install over 1 GB. We will only get the updated files. I don't know what size it will be. Never did an ota on my phone.

Ota is generally around 200 to 400 mb on my z2, when i got update over ota {5.1.1}

My impressions so far:
- Stagefright fully patched
- Sound seems to be louder using movies app and music app, but I don't know if it's a placebo.
- Video playback is smooth using hw+ in MX player, before that version the playback was hanging when you seek using hw+
- performance seems to be improved, since I don't have noticed any hang since the first boot
- Battery seems to be better, I only get 2% drop while testing AnTuTu and I get around 39k, I don't really care about this number since the general performance seems to be really good
- I am noticing a bug while using phone dial, It don't sound when I press the number keys.. But this is an insignificant detail for me
- Camera seems to be a little faster too
- I haven't noticed any new feature until now
- I'm from Brazil but I'm using Hong Kong firmware version which is fully compatible with the Brazil frequencies and seems to be debloated

Camera lag
Hi guys, I'm testing right now the DE prerooted zip with clean install. It's quite good it's not heating so much, I would say similar to KK. Battery drain.. can't say yet, probably still not as good as KK but good enough. The sound quality seems different (worse) to me, using really clean sounding MH1C and can hear a difference between KK and 5.1.1. But I can't stand the camera lag, found out that if I set low ISO (50, 100) there is no such lag but with higher ISOs deffinitely is and quite significant! Do have this lag too?

Waiting for the C6903.

Did anyone try any modes on the new firmware? Like 120 fps or 4K or call handling? How is the wifi? With latest firmware, mine had degraded. How is the wifi reception on the new firmware?

Hello any memory bugs?

Zenfone 2,Android 6 official ... reviews and bugs

Hi there
Lets talk about our experience after the MM update.
Me first...the system is smooth...
I think there s battery improvement(little)....maybe I feel wrong.
Three bugs...1.my approximity sensor was not always working properly...after the hard factory reset,I ve not seen that bug any more....2.google messenger does not have the new message notification on its icon....3.chrome address bar is sometimes not reachable(when some page is oper,I cannot click on the address to edit it,I have to make a new tab

Update
Another bug... wile incoming calls,sometimes the phone cannot take data from contacts....it starts with number,after some seconds,it shows the name of the contact

Bug on ZE550ML/Z008
Hi,
I did the update to MM 2 days ago.
First by just updating: very smooth, battery not really improved, even with doze, as my phone had already an excellent battery life in LL (2 days "normal" use) BUT:crying: got 2 freeze, no way to power off except by holding down power button at least 10s.
Then, I did a factory reset from MM and re-installed all my app with titanium backup.
Still smooth BUT 1 freeze again after some hours.:crying::crying:
I already got those freeze when testing the beta. So still not solve
Back to LL for me as it was extraordinary stable for me.

Thanks for feedback guys. I hope you report all of these to Asus to let them the chance to fix those bugs.

The addition of Facebook app let alone the Facebook messenger to a devices System which had/keeps having horrible battery life reviews is crazy. System apps can launch themselves, they will be never "patched" (less downloaded bytes) and God forbid, if a major security issue happens in that application, it will have very bad consequences as users _hate_ updating things.
I am waiting for first meaningful, suitable for daily use Cyanogenmod releases with the MM kernel and I am off to Cyanogenmod. If I buy another device, it will be stock Google Android, will never touch anything which has a BYTE changed from stock Android.

Returned back to stock .184 from AICP using shakalaca's pre-rooted image, then updated to
.194 using full firmware zip that pushed into internal memory, then updated again to MM .134 using the same method, and finally did a factory reset; everything works so far for me. Disabled a lot of junks and no problems.

You could disable startup for these apps thanks to Asus' own auto-start feature. Or, if you hate it, you could disable it at anytime. (I disabled Facebook and Instagram app, but leave Messenger enabled because I've some importance over it)

You need to manually give notification access to Messenger app via Unread counts badge preferences on ZenUI Launcher for the badge to shown properly.

Thanks krasCGQ,the messenger is now ok
The launcher is still V2
Is there any advantage on updating to V3?(performance,battery,etc)

I tested v3 when I was on AICP, but I haven't update the stock launcher yet to v3. I need to do some more testing...

Very smooth, none of the slowdowns that I used to get on L from RAM management / memory leak issues. Haven't encountered any bug yet except for being unable to factory reset, which always fails when it goes into recovery and tries to erase user data.

expand please ........???

hmmm,i've seen a guy here saying that he did got back to LL from the last MM coz he had some freeze issues,well,i have no idea what the hell u had installed on your phone that coused that,for sure it has to be an app that cause that issue,not the OS itself,many do talk and have no idea of what they r talking about,first of all after u install a new version,make a factory reset,after that,stop doing a recovery from that titan whatever is name and install the apps 1 by 1 and find out the 1 that causes that issue,don't blame the OS coz u don't know what are you doing or using,yes it runs very smooth and faster,i dunno why some do say that they don't see improvements on battery,did u thought that all you have installed on your phone is causing that ? to many apps using internet (facebook,instagram,buzz,games etc) ? all the internet use make battery run down very fast in case u didn't know,another yes,the new firmware comes with lot of bull****s app,like facebook,messenger,that crappy useless manger that claims to kill apps for more memmory (actually it is just a theory claim,not actual thing that it does,i can give an explanation to that),iread and i think a few more that i never used and never will,but yes,u can very easy deactivate them,which i always dowith all i hate,which i really think they should be optinal apps to download from google play,not to come by force preinstalled,i do use the phone pretty much,and just normal on internet,those parts do make battery go down pretty fast,but in standby...2 days easy,in 8 hours (night) standby it only droped the battery down 3%,i doubt it was the case in LL

Feels fine, despite possible OS problems (Android draws most of battery). Anyway, a better experinece.
BTW - Just seen that this is a 32bit MM 6.0.1. How can the system utilize full 4GB of RAM?

Any sensor is working for me. I did a clean installation, flashing last LL firmware. Than I put MM firmware on internal storage.
MM is working fine and smooth. But no one sensor is working.

Another app

The addition of Facebook app let alone the Facebook messenger to a devices System which had/keeps having horrible battery life reviews is crazy. System apps can launch themselves, they will be never "patched" (less downloaded bytes) and God forbid, if a major security issue happens in that application, it will have very bad consequences as users _hate_ updating things.
I am waiting for first meaningful, suitable for daily use Cyanogenmod releases with the MM kernel and I am off to Cyanogenmod. If I buy another device, it will be stock Google Android, will never touch anything which has a BYTE changed from stock Android.

I don't know where you got the idea that a system app wont get updates. Facebook will still get updated through the play store just like any other app.
