Seems like at least once or twice a day some Sony app that I never use leaves some notification in my status bar. Is there any way to disable these Sony apps? I think the "What's New" app is one of the worst offenders.

You can always try to completely disable notifications from the app
I think there is a way to disable them through the adb shell. I recall doing something similar on my Z3 that didn't require root. I will look into it further and get back to you. If any other person has this knowledge, post away.

Anytime I try to perform "pm hide" I get the
"Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS."
If anyone else has a suggestion please let me know because otherwise "pm hide" doesn't work.

While kernel is vulnerable (MM), temp root does the job!

Okay, guys, I was noticing new version of facebook has an uplaodmanager service running, nice for uploading photos from phone but time to time I noticed it was eating RAM upto ~34MBs (it can show you also 6MBs but as I said I have seen many times upto 34MBs), a lot for a service and don't use this service.
Titanium backup can't freeze service, as far as I have explored, may be overlooked.
To disable the service (stopping it does not work as it started automatically after some time)
Only for rooted phone (enable usb debugging first)
1. Go to terminal emulator
2. type su to get super user permissions
3. then type and hit enter
pm disable com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.katana.service.UploadManager
4. off you go
it might be started again on next reboot hence should be disabled again or make a script widget to run it.
It worked for me, may be there is a better way if so please share or use above.
thanks man

make a shortcut in your desktop of running services and click and stop services
I use titanium backup to freeze facebook, I then defrost it before I use it, saves lot of memory, I also disable voodoo saving more!

In my case com.facebook.katana was killing my battery, I disabled FB sync and now battery life is back to normal.

Hi there,
The only thing that I can imagine this would be is an application or email client that is restricting your device's capabilities. Travel to setting/security & screen lock/device administrators, and see if any applications are enabled as device admins. If so, remove the app/apps until you determine which one was stopping your camera function. Hope this helps you out

If he didn't answer your question there is an xposed module in the playstore called wanam xposed combined with xposed framework it allows u to remove the recommend apps bar. It requires root.

He perfectly answered your question, YOU ARE THE STUPID ****!
Also read the part where as a RULE of this site you are supposed to search first, and generally to not expect to be spoon-fed.
Calm down lads. There's no need to be rude.
A suggestion for next time, perhaps name it "How to remove reccomended apps for headphones". It's a little clearer.
Now, if you're still on 4.3, you can use a non-stock launcher to create a shortcut, then find under activities --> settings --> Page Buddy. Then you can open that shortcut to turn it off. It doesn't work on 4.4.2 anymore, it just shows "Settings has stopped".
Short of rooting, I've not found an alternative. I hate the thing as well.
Easy:
Go into settings, open application manager and disable pagebuddyNotisvc

Your app is unable to run in background
Use geolocation and ID_CAP_LOCATION to run app in bg
Problem will be solved
Im using windows phone store app, do i need there also geolocation capability to do this?

I don't know about Windows Store apps
you have to run your app under LockScreen or background anyway
You can use MSDN search for possible ways to do that .

Guys, i`m using Z5 for 3 days, and i have to say that there`s constantly lags in the interface! I didn`t install any special hard apps, i`m using standard apps, what`s app, maps, some benchmarks, 2-3 games.. I don`t know what could it be ? I thought that lags maybe because of SD card. I turned it off, but lags still exists.
Does anyone else has it ?

My Z5 has a little bit lag too.
Mine seems ok. Do you find it throughout or just using the home launcher etc? I come from a Nexus 5 and it seems just as smooth but i have scrapped off stock launcher for Google now launcher
Sent from my Xperia z5 by Tapatalk
Same story here Bro. Most of my lags are in the browser, camera app and closing apps. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates. I'm also not happy with my camera, my old G3 has shaper pictures. The camera in this seems a tad blury.
im pretty sure its a software issue, even Z1 didn't have this kind of UI-lag, compared to Z3 it's a joke, it's nothing wrong with the Z5 hardware
hope Sony fix it with a update soon.
Mine lags too, especially when switching back from app drawer to widget pane where weather and other widgets are placed on the same screen
Stuttering is strongly visible
Mine lags and stutters quite a lot. Only standard apps installed too.
I think this firmware, although it says 5.1.1, is old. Seems more like the 5.0.2 version.
Note when you plug in the charger, you can see 'time to charged' notification on the lock screen.
The Z1 and the Z3 both lost this feature when upgrading from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1
Mine lags a lot when using the 'close all' button on the recent screen.
Initial release firmware for ya. Updates will come.
How about if you stop using the close all apps button and let the system do it's job and see if you still get the lags. We're not on gingerbread any more. The clear all button is pointless
Sent from my Xperia z5 by Tapatalk
i blocked and deleted some system apps trough adb and for me isn't any lag.
I disabled some apps I don't use, installed a different launcher (Nova Prime) and the lag is non-existent now. I had some lag/stutters with the stock launcher though and I was disappointed at first when I received and used my phone fort the first time.

You are right there. It does work faster when you don't clear the background apps.
I said somewhere else that this firmware feels old to me, compared to my Z3. The time to charge notification on the lock screen for example. That disappeared when updating my Z1 and Z3 to 5.1.1, but it's still on the Z5, and some options are missing, like smart rotation.
I'm sure the lags will get ironed out over time with updates.

To be honest it feels like Sony didn't want to waste too much time and resources on Lollipop for the Z5 since Marshmallow is around the corner. The Z5 is a new phone and Lollipop will be at best a transition firmware.

Yeah, I think so to. I'm even wondering if they'll bother with any updates to 5.1.1. Depends when they're looking to roll out 6 I guess.

nope, root doesn't needed.
you have to install adb on pc and enabled usb debugging on z5
then you have to open cmd as admin and connect phone via usb cable
now navigate to folder when you have installed adb for egz. c:\adb
then write adb usb, wait till connect to phone, agree connection on it
now you can use some options to hide (lock) or uninstall some apps
Code:
adb shell
pm hide com.sonymobile.androidapp.cameraaddon.areffect
pm hide com.google.android.gm
pm hide com.google.android.play.games
pm hide com.google.android.apps.plus
pm hide com.sonymobile.playanywhere
pm hide com.s.antivirus
pm hide com.sonymobile.entrance
pm hide com.android.galaxy4
pm hide com.android.stk
pm hide google.android.apps.maps
pm hide com.sonymobile.support
pm hide com.facebook.system
pm hide com.mobisystems.fileman
pm hide com.google.android.apps.hangouts
pm hide com.google.android.music
pm hide com.sony.snei.vu
pm hide com.google.android.apps.docs
exit
adb reboot
here you have code what im using, you can also try change "hide" to "uninstall" and try if something can be uninstalled.
for the end write reboot on cmd and exit. thats all. cheers
the previous Z5 i had which was a REV 2 E6653 also lags after clicking "clear all button," with the new device they sent me which is REV 3 has the same issue. I seriously dont know what is causing this lag for this button lol. Hope it is a software bug.
on Rev 4 -- TW model -- same issues, did a factory reset, which weirdly enough fixed a lot of the lag for me. Though honestly.. Android L is just terrible. Hopefully Sony just dropped L to work on M.
So much drama. I have experienced zero lag with this phone. It's a very good phone and my. 1st non nexus phone. If you have doubts, go into the store and give it a spin
