Hi guys, I had a Moto Atrix but sold it to get a Defy and an Asus Transformer.
I installed CM7 on Defy but my Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth Headset does not seem to work. The headset does not recognize the phone or the other way around. They can't see each other.
The headset works perfectly with my tablet and with other Android phones.
Any solution? Thanks
My MW600 work great with cm7. Currently running latest nightly 111115, previous nightlys aswell as stable release also working great.

I finally had a bit of time to install the latest build of CM11 on my z1c this weekend. I've previously tried a few different ROMS:
- Stock rooted Sony KK 4.4 - too many bugs, not usable for me
- Stock rooted Sony JB 4.3 - works fine, just very hard to go back to JB after using KK daily driver (Moto X) for so long
The current build of CM11 for the z1c (as of this writing, April 4th) is really, really solid! It feels the way KK 4.4.2 should, not the hybrid, buggy Sony version! I don't mind not having the "Sony" apps (Walkman, etc) since I'm used to stock KK. I haven't done enough testing yet with the camera, but apparently it supports full 20mp resolution. Sure, you lose Sony's camera UI but I'm ok with that. Along with GravityBox I was able to get my z1c to feel like my Moto X (well, except active notifications!).
The CM11 build lacks Sony's bugs (the ones I had run into involved everything sound related - notifications, alarm, video playback, etc).
I highly recommend this route for anyone who has unlocked their bootloader and wants a very stock look and feel without Sony's bugs!
What about battery? Can I expect the same battery performance as with stock kernel?

Unfortunately I didn't use it enough with the other ROM's to be able to make a comparison.
Thanks for the fast answer. Camera UI and battery are the two things keeping me from trying CM.

Well lets say, on avarage, how long does the battery last? To compare please provide screen on time (seen from battery in settings)
Thanks

I'll report back in a few days. I need to compare it to the same usage pattern I have on my Moto X.

I am with liquid smooth ROM and I have no problems with the battery. It gets me through the day with 40% remaining at the end of the day. This is with moderate to heavy usage: listening to music on bluetooth headphones, push notifications and a few hours browsing.

Hello guys
I have a question about Xperia SP & Xperia V !
I want to buy the phone that has the less bugs, software/hardware problems etc..
I think there is not too much difference in performance between the two, so I need an advice please.
I thank you in advance ^^
I think there is no any reason why would you buy an older xperia V

The performance differences is huge enough, especially in GPU. You only need to choose between good SoC or water resistant

But don't you think that Xperia SP has more problems than Xperia V ? I mean serious problems like bugs, lags, software bugs... and then the performance of Xperia SP won't mean anything.
I've been used latest Sony update 12.1.A.1.201 which solved many bugs
RAM management issue and LED issue when playing music in Walkman app
Only thing that bugging me is enabled LED during a call.
Other than that and with RAM management solved I see no lags or any other misbehaving with my phone.
So latest FW is almost perfect for average user and everyday use.
I don't like it's bloatware but with root, you can remove those app you don't want.
Also you have many stock based custom ROMs and real custom ROM's like
CM10.2, CM11, and Carbon, Mahdi, Vanir...
I tried PureXSP, ExistenZ, Vanir, MIUI...
and currently I am on Carbon KitKat build
I don't know about Xperia V but I'm sure if you search forum you will found as many bugs for V as for SP

I've had both Xperia V and Xperia SP.
In STOCK conditions, I could confidently say that Xperia V > Xperia SP.
Xperia SP may have superior hardware compared to Xperia V but Xperia V has significantly less bugs, a better STILL camera, superb RAM Management, and you even get water resistance up to 1m and 30mins (with that, I would usually clean my Xperia V by soaking it in a dipper filled with water).
However, Xperia V is also ageing well and the same goes with official software updates from Sony. Xperia SP has more chances of getting another software update than Xperia V.
Although Xperia SP has all these annoying bugs, there are plenty of devs who created ROMs that have fixed/mitigated these bugs. The subsequent software update [12.1.A.1.201] has also patched critical bugs such as WiFi issues, Illumination Bar issues, RAM Management (uh, slightly), and others. However some issues still persist such as the screen flickering bug as reported by other xda members (I don't experience this though).
Xperia SP for me has an awesome hardware for a mid-range android device and its performance is only limited by such ugly stock rom. But hey, isn't that the reason why we are here in xda?

Thank you for the explanation, I really appreciate it,
I'm going to get XSP then !
( I think that Xperia SP has less chance of getting a new update cause it may get even more bugs if they updated it to KitKat )

No thanks ! I don't like the ugly design of samsung, and it's the same on all the samsung devices !
In my opinion, Xperia V has a better camera, display and it's water resistant.
Xperia SP has a slightly bigger (not so good) display, so-so build quality (my on/off button has broke twice), mediocre camera, but great looks and a good processing power and MIGHT get Android 4.4 (I doubt it).
So it's up to you to decide which do you like the most.

I'm going to buy XSP, and I like its screen size it's perfect not small not too big !
I hope I won't get any lags or problems with it, even on the 4.3 ^^ ( because I know some people that don't have any minor or major bug with this update, it's 100% working bug free ! )
Good! As I always say, the best phone you can get is the one you like the most, otherwise you'll get bored of it quicker.
Enjoy your future SP.
I've been using the stock xperia marshmallow rom for a while now and i have always felt dissatisfied with the performance. It didn't seem like a flagship device. I know its 2 years old but my brother bought a Lenovo Zuk Z1 recently and it has the same processor, same ram and apps were flying around so smoothly on it compared to my Z2. That made me so disappointed because Z2 is supposed to be an equal atleast if not better since the specs are similar and its sony vs Cyanogen. Although Zuk Z1 was on lollipop so i went back to the stock lollipop on my z2 and things are so smooth and fast. Apps open rather quickly compared to marshmallow. Is it just me or others are noticing the performance decrease too?
Have you perform a hard reset on your device lately? It might help.

Yes you are right bro. I have same problem with my Z2 on Marshmallow rom
Z2 MM plain out sucks in comparison to Lollipop. Also many devices with the same spec or lower seem to do a better job at running MM. It's not just performance, but things like call quality and Wi-Fi have taken a hit, even on the latest MM builds. So much for the "upgrade". Maybe Sony is trying to make us upgrade our phones, but their software team is seriously lacking some skill here... I'm back on deodex LP and loving it! Can't think of a reason to update at the mo...

Yes. I've tried everything from removing all the bloat to reducing the number of apps i use to not installing any app at all. I used the fresh rom for a while with just some basic apps like fb, chrome and hike. There are some minor lags here and there and even the settings app takes a second to load after it has come up on screen. On lollipop it just flies up from bottom and thats it. No loading time.

Good for you mate. I just like the xperia x ui and the now on tap, although i could live without it but i just don't like the stock lollipop or marshmallow look now. I need the xperia x look. And so i'm compromising on performance.
So far marshmallow has been disappointing indeed. Permissions are great but not much else. Decreased performance & poor multitasking, I would have rather stayed on lollipop until they fix the issues or perhaps use a custom Rom since Sony will likely stop updating the z2

After using MM for over a month, I am back to Lollipop.. LP is much better at the moment.
MM might need more time. I hope future updates could make it better than LP.
Hi,
is there any chance we will see Android 10 on Xperia Tablet Z? If is, then how likely?
I know that Android is getting more and more demanding. For example my Xperia on Android 9 is now unable to smoothly play 1080p 60fps YouTube videos. Only [email protected] or [email protected] (but even that sometimes stutters).

I think it will be possible to compile android 10 from sources and install on our device. But question about it's stability and support of native android features is open, keeping in mind, that official nighties are still based on android 8, and android 9 ROMs still have some issues (though not major) unresolved.
