I'm using the latest damagecontrol rom on my hero with a 710 MHz overclock and I'm pretty happy with my hero. The phone performs a good deal better however my main issue from before still remains. The dialer lags horribly so that I can't answer 50% of my incoming calls.
Do I need a task manager? A better rom? A better dialer app? I like the main apps functionality but if there is an app that doesn't crash every other time then I'm down.

There are several people who have this problem. Some people suggest setting your Slot Index to 1 instead of 2, but its not that big of a help in my experience. And I have heard that the towers force a specific polling rate on you.
I have found that moving ringtones from the SD card to internal memory seems to help a little if you have a slow card. Now that I have a class 6, the difference is negligable.
Actually it happens on outgoing calls as well. :\
happens to me too. isn't "ring lag" that has been discussed before. just a delay when you click on a contact name and it tries to call. can take up to 20-30 secs... will call them twice if you tap it twice, you'll have them on call waiting aaha.
Clear your call history, Mine after about 3 weeks makes the dialer lag so bad its unuseable. That at least helps with the visible dialer lag, doesn't seem to make much difference for incoming calls (which I still miss most of the time).
I just posted in another thread, I've tried a dozen different ROMS, OC and non-OC, and have yet to get the phone to ring for even 50% of the 23 second ring-cycle.
I had SEVERE lag when I was on the stock 2.1 release from Sprint. After I rooted I haven't tried all the ROM's out there, but there is NO LAG on Aloysius 2.1. Plus, if you download the snow version, you get the AOSP dialer as well so you can try both. I am not saying your current ROM is bad, but I'd play around and see.
i wonder if it is a diff phone.apk in that rom, i wonder if it could be extracted?
I used task panel on my 2.1 and it was awesome. apparently it doesnt work too well for 2.2 so i need a replacement.
the reason it was good:
1. showed me all apps unlike ATK that ddnt show me half the things
2. had a ignore list so those apps would never get shown or killed either manually or automatically.
3. had a auto-kill list which would get killed every time the phone went to sleep.
4. low memory and wouldnt kill itself.
anyone have suggestions?
also
i went to the cnettv website and the flash audio sounds super slow, how to fix that?
Didnt see this thread, Just created a similar one, in regards to the slow audio on cnettv.
Anything new to report on your end?
Anyone using the Axon 7 Mini with T-Mobile? If so, what is your experience and does the wi-fi calling feature work? Thank you.
Can't get votle to work and no wifi calling

More to this it seems after doing 4636 the volte is turned on(can't be turned off) but it doesn't seem to work?

I've had the axon 7 mini since October 31st, so I've had a few weeks with it on T-Mobile and it works just fine. Signal strength seems better than my Note 3. The camera wasn't as good as my Note 3 but I just got a software update yesterday that included improvements to the camera. Haven't had time to test it but nice to know they are pushing updates now.
I don't use Wi-Fi calling so I can't comment on that. Sorry.
T-Mobile WiFi calling doesn't work, there is no option for it in the settings. Of unlocked phones, I think the Nextbit Robin is the only one with that feature available. I got my Axon 7 Mini on 11/28/16. With the latest software update, VOLTE seems to work on T-Mobile, at least the HD symbol stays on during a call and the sound is very clear. Band 12 shows up using the LTE Discovery app, when I go to my basement to look for a weaker signal. I already have a software glitch, when I touch the ZTE Locker option under select a wallpaper under Settings, I get an "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error instead of the list of options. Restarting the phone doesn't fix it. Also, ZTE removed the settings option of placing a message on your lock screen, which is available with the pure version of Marshmallow 6.0.1.
The soft button for switching to the speakerphone has a 3-4 second delay after you push the button. On my ZTE Zmax2 the camera app had a nifty level with the 9 line grid on the screen which I found very useful. The Axon 7 Mini camera app has no grid lines options at all. For some reason, the phone did not include a Calculator app and it does not work with over-the-air FM radio apps. The proximity sensor doesn't seem to good, my face touching the screen has hung up on 2 people so far. Also, the ability to transfer certain apps to the SD card was removed from this phone. But it is still an option in stock Marshmallow.
no wifi calling. VoLTE is amazing

I am new to T-Mobile so can't comment about WiFi calling, but would like to correct some of the information in the 2nd portion of the post.
The 9 grid lines are available under the "Manual" mode. I wish they were available under "Photo" mode as well. There is a calculator app included under Toolkit. I suggest you don't bother. Get your favorite free calculator from the Play Store (there are a ton of them). The removal of moving apps to SD is not unique to ZTE, as many companies are experiencing problems with Android integration of SD into storage. My personal preference is to keep music, videos, map cache, and other media/data on the SD, and all apps on internal storage.

Thanks for the information. I see what you mean about the calculator, not even a memory function.
Hey guys so I currently have the att lg v20 h910 model I believe and I'm having some issues I'm sure theres a bunch of threads on this already but thought i would just ask. So it's lagging pretty bad In my opinion I love the phone and the specs but I do not understand why it's lagging for what i paid. Coming from mostly iPhones and jailbreaking I'm not really used to android but I damn well love the fact that I can do everything on stock android that I cant do on a stock iPhone basically the Android can do more at stock than basically a jailbroken iPhone can do which is crazy. So the lag I'm experiencing is mostly in YouTube app basically the video will pause but the sound keeps playing so the video is actually playing but the picture that's on the screen is paused and camera which is extremely laggy sometimes I'll open the camera app and it will be shaky and when I move the camera around its blurry and looks like straight up pixels lol looks laggy when moving the camera. sometimes it can be on the home screen randomly sometimes it flys which is weird I don't have alot of apps on here also and I currently do not have a SD card I know this sounds stupid to you guys but remember I'm coming from iPhone... So does a SD card improve performance? Does it get rid of the lag or something? I also would like to note I don't mind rooting as long as it fixes the freaking lag.. Also my device is not a bad apple out of the bunch I actually got a replacement of the same phone from att they logged into my phone and saw the lag sent me the same device and they new device was doing the exact same thing the old device was so I sent back the new one and kept the old bc I have all my apps up here. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I just want to enjoy my phone =(. And sorry for the long post.
Settings/Developer Options/Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make this beast smoother/snappier" If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts, well optimised with Snapdragon 820 processor and is better than Samsung.
No SD card doesn't slow or lag a powerful phone like the amazing V20, I have tons of storage since I use a 128 GB micro SD and no issues.
What class is your sdcard (if any)? I've found that a slow sdcard can have some terrible effects on performance, in fact this has been an excuse to remove external memory support on some phones by the developers because they tend to be significantly slower than the internal memory.
I have Spotify and the storage set to external on a class 10 cars and there is noticeable lag in the program compared to other programs. It lags just as much as it did on my v10 other programs do not exhibit this behavior.
Also as much as I hate Apple they make some incredibly fast processors and in general their processors are faster than Qualcomm's processors. Still in day to day operations this shouldn't be noticeable and there shouldn't be lag on the v20 as you're describing.
I am running non-rooted and do not experience this lag. If you want to try force GPU rendering you have to enable developer options you can do this by:
- going to settings, go to about phone
- tap software version, tap build number (7 times I believe) you'll be told developer mode enabled or something to that extent
- now go back to settings you'll have a new developer option available
- scroll down until you find "Force GPU rendering", put a check, this may or may not smooth out your performance.
The theory is that this will force the GPU to take on more tasks freeing up the CPU for other tasks, essentially they share the load more.
Welcome to android, you'll be floored by the amount of stuff you can do on android that you can't do on iOS. You should check out some of the 3rd party launchers if you want some more customization to the look of android. I recommend ADW launcher 2.0, Action Launcher or Nova.

Battery pull, reinstall of app, clear cache; there are various options to remedy your issue. Try all of the suggested routes and see if it helps. Good luck.
Just pointing out he said he has no SD card...
The only lag I have experienced was with my stock messaging app. Typing lag was driving me crazy. Didn't seem to matter which keyboard I used.
I don't know if it's because I don't delete my texts or what but I switched to the Textra messaging app and the lag seems to be gone. (and I like the app better too!)
What you're experiencing definitely doesn't sound "normal".
You shouldn't have to change settings to get a smooth running phone.
It's strange that the replacement showed the same lag. Did you install any apps before testing for lag?
Seems like there could be an app causing this. I'm not really qualified to help except to say it's just not "normal" so I hope you can get it figured out!
Hey guys sorry for late message so yeah I sadly don't have a SD card I feel like I don't really need one I don't use that much data I can add that I use Spotify as well and I have over 2k songs easy I listen to alot of music lol. But I don't think that should make a huge difference in the speed maybe it does idk for sure though. So another extremely noob question can I root with no SD card? If so I'll probaly do it and use a different rom or something hopefully that will help. So enabling developer options with gpu rendering did not help sadly its basically the same performance seems like it. And yes I'm loving the android experience so far but I can say atm iPhone had way better performance as in speed and what not but hopefully if I can get this beast working right I'll be satisfied.

Yeah im thinking it could be a app on the phone but idk for sure and not really I actually tried it with factory reset a couple of weeks ago it was about the same experience... At just stock..
Alright guys quick update i actually just got my device rooted took like 2 freaking hours i kept running into issues anyways in the end it did get rooted but its basically acting the same... For instance when the phone cut on finally and finally starting to add all the information to setup my phone the menus were so laggy that it took me 10 mins just get through the setup process... and then on top of that i went into developer options and it froze up and had to reset settings application. I know that it said to do another adb reboot recovery after it finally started back for the first time into android and i did that... but its still extremely slow. And throughout out the setting up the phone process i naturally did not recover the apps from my old phone i wish there was a way to setup the phone just like it was before i rooted it.... I also would like to know what would be best option as far as mods and roms go... I have to have wifi calling as i have no signal in my house which is retarted... so wifi calling has to be on... thats about all i care about i dont need fm radio, or any of that other stuff. (edit) well i recently found out that i screwed up lol i rooted with dirty santa and i thought the wifi calling would only be screwed up with a custom rom boy was i wrong so the wifi calling doesnt work with rooting =( well im going to download the factory rom and reset it again lol.
I have flashed Customized IN with Newflasher (G8142)
Flashed customized VN 47.2.a.2.33 >> 47.2.a.4.41 OTA >> 47.2.a.6.30 OTA >> 47.2A.8.24 OTA >> 47.2.A.10.28 Clean flash Customized AE with Flashtool

5.When i go to battery setting and expand advanced after that scrolling from down of menu to top have one little lag(NOT FIXED)
6.sometimes while opening apps or scrolling in setting menu or etc ... Animations have a little lag and it solves with a restart or when i don't use the phone for a while lag is solve(NOT FIXED : much much better in terms of smoothness and performance but i see sometimes litte lags in animations)
7.Scrolling in google chrome on some websites have delay (not react with my touch immediately or not as smooth and fast reaction as Oreo)(FIXED)
8.Some times i hear a very little sound like 'tik' when i use my phone ( i'm not sure about this )(FIXED)
9. I check my battery usage sometimes. One time I saw battery usage not updated anymore until I plugged the phone to the charger. for example my screen usage time and other apps not updated and stopped at 5.09 hr!(FIXED)

and the album app laggs when deleting photo
*No WPS connection in WiFi.
*Many crashes in Bluetooth setting.
*Removed list of devices in toogle WiFi /Bluetooth.
It only remains to wait for Sony to solve it and it will repaired.
with this pie update (I updated by Xperia Companion) I got problems with the volume up button. In most cases, I can't increase the volume because the button doesn't activate the panel. With Android 8, all worked like a charm..

That's a pie thing, Google removed WPS support but plans to add it back in a future release (either 9.1 or 10): https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79404939#comment10
Although WPS should stay removed as it's pretty unsecure.
-Xperia backup not working properly, doesn't backup to SD, stays at 0% and can't connect to online ac****. Google's backup works though.
-The navbar, the style is inconsistent, it should always be like it is in Album app, almost transparent, it looks very nice there. But sometimes its white, sometimes black.
I did flash the FW with flashtool and the 47.2 fsc a user provided here, because the newflasher method didn't seem to fully wipe and format my phone, all the app permissions stayed the same and some system settings, even before restoring the backup. And some tests in Service menu didn't work properly, they're fine now.
navbar
hi. after update to pie on my xperia xz premium there is problem with navbar colour. for example in waze navigation it is still white. it is very bad in night mode! is it possible to hide navbar as before or made it black permanent at least?

I had the same problem. I can't remember what app was it but I will try to say it. When call comes don't answer it. Swipe down notification center and you will see something I think smart call or like this. I can't remember the name of app. Hold finger on it and option to turn notification off will appear. Turn it off.
Not only in waze, I'm having the same issue with different app, and is orribile when u use a dark mode or night mode.. And some trouble with smart backlight stop working... Version .306

I gotta say, I'm not having any of these issues.
Mines a g8142. Originally flashed to G8141 au firmware but discovered lower right speaker issue of low volume.
Flashed back to ce1 g8142. Everything working without a glitch. Just no VOLTE.
Are people doing a software repair via xperia companion after flashing? I find if I don't do it, I get issues.

Falshtool automatically can download and flash the entire firmware with no modification. I did that. you can select all areas to erase and it works perfectly and also tells u which areas it didn't erase. And Next step once switched on - u can redo the RESET option in phone OR REPAIR option of Xperia COmpanion to make sure everything is installed and erased perfectly. Works.
Backup I havent tried, as I have all files stored on SD card or cloud.

Bluetooth no issues at all - I am on UK .33 ROM.
It connects in my CAR and to my Audio system all the time automatically and plays songs and calls uninterrupted. It also connects auto to my GPS.
In Oreo I had a problem with Bluetooth - on apple music whenever I hit play while connected to home audio system play used to stop immediately. I had to change the BIT rate in Developer menu. With Pie - no more of any issue. works all the time with no changes.
