Sony just loves to create bugs!!!

The battery on my phone is almost empty, this bug is only present when you turn on the phone, and as soon as the second or third time, locks and unlocks the phone, the problem disappears. It happened to me , but only when the battery is below 10%.
Connect your charger, stands on the clock, and not below it where there should be.
Well done Sony!! These are only shown once again how much you are unable to make a good and stable software.
Use the latest version of the software 14.3.A.0.757

Hehehe me too no problem after clean install 757.

Microsoft started developing non stop on Windows OS since 1975 and ti'll now it's still has bugs. Now you expect Sony or should I say Android to have a bugless OS which just started a few years ago? Don't mean to rant but being a developer myself I do believe there's no software to date that has no bugs >.<

What? You didn't knew? Sony, Microsoft, Google are out there just to create bug to piss users off, this it the sole purpose of their activities... They could do bugless release but they preffer to bug'em all out and look out on forums (or social media) just to see their reactions, they are the trollest of em all!
(BTW: I'm sarcastic)

I sell Sony Z1, moreeee problems, bugs... Never the back to Sony! My current device the HTC One, running sense 6, work perfect!!!

Lol. Looking at the One M8 XDA page I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694874
The point is there's no software out there that is bug free. The KK .757 firmware has fixed all major bugs. I myself am not getting that bug you're getting. Try a factory reset and see if that fixes the problem.
If you want to see buggy software, go to Samsung or LG. Well to be fair touchwiz has improved with the S5 (still hideous though) but my friend's LG G2 has a ton of bugs. Sony are pretty decent when it comes to the amount of bugs it has.

How does that show that Sony doesn't make stable software? .757 is rock stable for me. Not one crash or random reboot. A misplaced formatting doesn't make your device unstable. These small bugs exist in all ROMs, especially considering that it goes away after the 2nd or 3rd time. It doesn't impact your usage of the device in any way. Hopefully Sony should fix it but it seriously shouldn't be a huge deal that you make it out to be.

Me neither. If you don't like Sony phones don't buy them. If they have bugs, report them using the specified channel which is Sony Forum if my memory serves me well. Opening a thread to rant an OEM is not the best idea, since they are not reading this.

[DISCUSSION] Lollipop on the Xperia Z2 - Share your thoughts

The long awaited lollipop update for the Xperia Z2 has started rolling out. Let's discuss here, our thoughts, what we like and our disappointments on this update. How it is, and how u think it should be.
This is to keep those who have updated informed and to help those who are yet to update get a virtual experience of the ROM, so to speak. Share ur thoughts, be straight to the point.
Please note that this is not an avenue to rant, 'App2sd' feature for instance is a sign that Sony listens, be reasonable, just share ur thoughts and ideas, as simple as that.

Has XLOUD been re-instated, or in general, is there an improvement to the audio/notification volumes?

I can see that they have added the ability to hide heads-up notifications by swiping up from 5.1. That's a nice addition.

Seems like no improvement in the camera software :crying:
The blue status bar on every application kinda disturbing(or rather unsightly) to me=/

The post processing of picture is really bad. My xperia S aosp lollipop can take better pictures than my z2 at challenging situations-.-..
lol I will not go to samsung haha.. Anyway I realize it just themes. The colour can be changed .. Just wished it remain black, or dynamic colour status bar(lol.. maybe when xposed works)

This release is fluid with rare stutter around the edges.
Even kitkat has it so chill
Overall, apart from lollipop aesthetics Everything looks bit astray from Sony and more towards aosp.
However the current UI fluidity and snappiness is way better than kitkat.

Then you must have a defective device there. Try sending in for warranty. My Z2 can take absolute better pictures than the Z and Ion.
MOD EDIT: No need to be insenstively judgemental

lollipop seems very fluid and fast
however im going back to my 4.4.4 backup for the next few days
my main issues are:
root not working properly
missing xposed framework
no recovery

Wut.. What is wrong with you. I'm just stating what I feel and not complaining at all. Else I would had sold my z2 for something else. If you think camera is everything on z2 I think you are misunderstanding something.

Is it me or is the default colour for the status bar blue instead of black? Even in chrome the status bar is bright blue.

Xposed is available, if you have root. Niaboc79's pre-rooted zip file should work just fine. Regarding recovery, if you wanted to flash a zip file, you could flash a previous kernel via fastboot, boot into recovery and do your flashing. Then reboot again in fastboot and flash the kernel back that the Lollipop ROM came with. (I think that should work, can't think of a reason why it wouldn't)

You can change it to other colours under themes. Well there are no black theme though.

Charging is very slow for me, actually when I'm using the phone it's discharging. Am I the only one having this problem?

The camera was supposed to have manual controls, as Lollipop allows. And it was deliberately not enabled.

Has there been a kernel update?

© «Get best battery life & screen touch fix - EUROPEAN 815 only»

For information...
I installed the latest c firmware (d in build prop) with LG flash tool (NOT UPGRADE), a CLEAN install.
wiped(factory reset) before flashing, then in flash tool cleared and made a CLEAN install and factory reset after to be safe (3 resets) .
Now I get very few screen misses, and screen on time 4.5 hours.
Before this I got screen on time maximum 2,5 hours.
Just wanted to let you guys/Girls in on this as it worked perfect for me and my wife.

Thanks for the placebo

Think I've been around enough to make an accurate judgement, add I'm an recognised developer, I made a hell of a lot of mods and ROM's all developed for two things only battery life with good speed.
You don't have to believe me, what matters is for me, add I got a much better phone.

Hi smaberg,
I was wondering if you are on the Euro 815 version of the G4? Based on your post I'm guessing you are? As a guy who knows what he/she is doing, I was wondering if you could make a flashable zip of the version d firmware? I have a mac and my understanding is you need a pc for the LG flash tool?
Figured I would ask and would greatly appreciate if you could help!!

Do you have the same set of apps installed as you did before the firmware and resets?
I saw better battery results on my second G4 vs my first, some of which I assume was because I installed a lot less apps on the second unit. Which seems reasonable to me.

What device is the OP using?
Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I'm on international 815 (Euro).
Still using the exact same apps(didn't use LG backup Restore as it brings back the old draining Barry problem from my old backup).
And NO I can't make an zip, as it would skip some important steps. I mean I can make it, NO problem, but then you will end up with the exact same problem add the old.

hey Smaberg, can you outline the step to flash the new version? I'm using 815, but since i'm residing in Asia, my phone is not seeing any upgrades.

Yeah i also like to get exact steps you made to flash

lol at 3 factory resets..just makes me want to skip the whole ordeal
it's 2015 and google (+manufacturers) still can't get their **** together even when using the most powerful hardware available
android 5.x has been utter failure imo.

@smaberg, 4.5 hrs screenon is nothing to be specially proud on, yesterday i had 6hrs with 12.5hrs on battery. Device is H815 and firmware is v10c howecer, i got my device on saturday and did just root it this night... we will see how it behaves now.

I know, but compared to before, with only 2 hours, sometimes even less worth stock a and b I'm pretty ☺ happy, now I'm going to deactivate some junk and see the results, and when I'm done I'll share it.
I'm trying to get the best battery without root, then with root and some of mine scripts and files mod. And we'll see where we stand. In the end maybe an ROM pure made for battery as in the old days. If some still want this? I thought/think people mostly want bling bling and speed...

Hi,
I would definitely be interested in a battery life based ROM. I find that premium phones have more than enough power you need (if youre not a gamer) so as long as the UI is smooth battery life is more important to me.
Regards,
Ravi

Only used 4% battery and got this screen on time. With everything on.

beginners guide to downgrading to MM?

Hi is there a beginner friendly guide to downgrading s7 edge back to MM?
The guides are so vague that if you understand them you dont really need the guide to begin with. Any A to Z guide available?... i couldn`t find one with the search.

There are more things i can multi task with in MM (e.g. instagram)... and youtube is stuck at the midpoint when multitasking in landscape on nougat.
Battery life feels worse and this is without twilight app running (I switched to inbuilt blue light filter on nougat) and I dont want to lower the ****ing resolution!
Certain UI changes i dont like (e.g. drop down menu)... the rest make no difference to me.
Camera app lost some quick-change settings on its camera screen.. so now i have to dig into camera settings to change them.
Generally the update is bland in terms of colours... feels washed out generally speaking.
All in all i got nothing out of nougat, just i remembered why i should never put the welfare of my electronics in profit driven entities.
I`m sure you get loonies like me passing by frequently but my experiences made me someone who believes updates` main purpose is to slow down the older phones so we buy the newer ones. I could elaborate on this but lets just avoid it for everyone`s sake

Thats simply not true...ive been using an S6 edge till i got this s7 edge and i can tell you that Nougat made the s6 way faster then it ever was...Even costum roms werent worth when stock nougat launched...was using lineage os for the s6 before switching to nougat and man what a difference..
you just need to accept updates dude, also when you say that colours are washed out on nougat dude common...

Nop, a slightly cynical stance is good when it comes to fast changing consumer electronics.
New certainly is not always better.
As to Nougat, of what I read so far it is a woeful update as a new Android version.
They could have just packed the few useful new things in an update for MM.
I got the update ready to install but am in no hurry whatsoever. MM runs superbly.
The lure of the new is just too much for most. I've read of folks getting seriously anxious because they had to wait ?.
Sad

I feel that my battery life isnt as good. Now its pointless telling me your having good battery life I FEEL as if i`m experiencing worse battery life.
Anyways i found a way to downgrade. Everything was working fine before. If you can link me to a thread with some battery optimisations for nougat i`ll reconsider... but lower the ****ing resolution is not one of them... I enjoy full resolution with good battery life before and expect it to be at full resolution now. Performance profile is optimised

All I can say is lol.

I know, but this information from you came out before this guys asked honor on twitter, maybe they changed their minds?

I've contacted Honor USA by twitter and Honor Italy by facebook. Honor USA told me testually: "EMUI 5.1 will be avaible initially for P10 and P10 Plus, but we are working to get it on other devices too" it's not a confirmation, but sounds like something is moving on the Honor side. Honor Italy told me testually "About EMUI 5.1 actually we don't have any information yet, but surely the Honor 8 will receive software updates in the near future". They also didn't confirmed anything...but hey, initially EMUI 4.1 and 5.0 devices were totally excluded...now something is moving. I think it's a good sign. What do you think?

Not sure, but the original reason was due to the hardware restricted some of the 5.1 features I think.

I don't know if this helps, but I have just chatted with honor us on twitter, this was the outcome.

That Honor 8, Novas and P9s wouldn't receive the emui 5.1 update, but a major update of emui 5.0 was said by the official emui Facebook page.

So what's the big difference between EMUI 5.0 vs 5.1?

Yes but the post is from March... i asked them on May and someone else a couple o days ago. Maybe they changed their minds

In my opinion, I would rather want honor to skip Android 7.1 and skip straight to Android Or, there's no big difference between 7.0 and 7.1.

Battery life is much improved on 7.1 so I'd like to get it. My battery life on 7.0 is so bad I might have to sell this soon if there is no improvement soon.

Did you factory reset? If so, what's causing the drain? I don't lose more that 2-3% of battery during the night while I sleep. All power saving mode turned off, WiFi on, all accounts syncing turned on.

I'm the same as you but, yeah there's a difference in SOT between MM and nougat TBH.

Not only did i do a factory reset on more than one occasion, I didn't install any apps and its still drains the same. I'm completely out of ideas now...

Also check to make sure you allow EMUI to close all the unnecessary apps when the screen is off.

Better to root your phone and install some real battery saving stuff. That's what I did before. Got almost 7 hrs of sot.
