Xperia Z3+ Nougat Review.....

:fingers-crossed::laugh:
YouTube Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjR2PxJmcsk

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ANDROID 7 ON Z3+.
Advantages..
1. Battery is lasting more than MM.
2. Stamina mode comes with 3 level stamina features.
3. Split Screen Apps are awesome.
4. Heating is less, I think they avhieved that by closing the background apps.
5.Camera app doesnt heatup the phone and lasts open till 5 min( I checked for 5 minutes only may be it ll show heating warning after that, I just dont know about it).
6. Now both the wallpaper and lockscreen can be handled easily with the same option WALLPAPER provided at SETTING app.
Disadvantages.
1. The Icons for the apps CONTACTS, MESSAGING, PHONE, CAMERA are so ugly.
2. One cannot go to the homepage by clicking recent navbar and then by clicking at the clear space of the recent apps menu.
3. While phone is locked the phone doesnt react to double tap unlock like it used to be in MM.
4. While the phone is locked the Icons of battery, network, clock etc are placed slightly lower than the Icons placed in the unlocked screen. LOCKING UNLOCKING CREATES AN UGLY LOOK OF MISPLACEMENT OF THESE ICONS.
5. The Battery icon in the status bar is too weird. ( Doesnt like it look).
6. The Data traffic indicator ( the small arrows up and down are way too small, the indicator which shows below 2g, 3g, H+ and LTE on the status bar)
7. They removed the option of selecting the FOCUS MODE in the camera app.
8. I compared the pictures taken by my phone when its in LP, MM AND N, I must say in LP this phone used to capture photos brilliantly, in MM the pics are somewhat lower than LP. But in N the pics quality are not upto marks. I think thats all because of this focus thing. Now the phone focus the way it wants to).
9. Remove/ Quit apps wisely, I am downloading some apps from UC BROWSER and then I exit the app and keep the downloading in the background but when I cleared the app from the recent apps list just to make my recent app section to look empty, it stopped my downloading too and the APP UC BROWSER was completely shut. (This option is in LP TOO BUT NOT IN MM) So close apps wisely.
11. They abandoned the small apps, Yes they are there but not easily accessible, now accessing small apps are quit pain in the ASS.
12. The apps in the Recent apps looks very big.
13. New quick tiles are good but one cannot direct shut data from there.
Thats all dear Fellas, I like the UI OF MM more than this N.
I THINK SONY JUST BAKED THIS N FOR US IN HURRY.
If I missed anything than please guys you can add that on your comments.

I really think the Android N update is very good for this device. Camera quality has improved in N - try some low light shots - noise is much lower. The UI is very fluid.

For my device not update notice for now...but I see that in Russia update is out in these days...
So, for now I can't comment about N on my Z3+...but thank you very much for this thread...I hope more users tell opinions about this new update...
I would like to learn more about:
- camera is more fast or not, compared to MM? About picture quality seems the two different opinions are contrary..so, other user opinion about camera?
- N as it looks in terms of reactivity on our device?
- Audio? From speakers and in headset? There are some new optimizations or similar?
Thanks in advance to all

Hope that removed for the reasons you've mentioned :fingers-crossed:

Using Nougat Indian Firmware
Advantages-
1. Camera quality is better
2. Split screen
3. Smooth Ui
4. Performance Enhancment
5. Battery backup improved
6. Brightness dim Issue in sunlight is fixed upto great extent
7. Heating issue is much more solved
Disadvantages ( Huge list but Listing major one)
1. Touch issue (Lackness in touch sensitivity)
2. No manual Focus in Camera Menu
3. Sound Quality reduced (Vibrations in back panel)
4. Can't download apps frome playstore in Roaming.
5. Now we have to double tap to activate data from notification bar
So, its better to push updates for fixing these problems. I hope sony would release updates.

Number 4 and 5 from @ag_themes list are customisation dependent. Both are not present in Russian Nougat that also was on servers before withdrawal.
Also I don't have any touch issues. The sound problems mentioned are the main reason of update withdrawal.
Btw. No overheating is probably connected with reduced usage of a57 cores. Nougat uses them rarely comparing to marshmallow (some report says they are disabled in nougat).

Can someone upload Russian fw? I want to flash it

Using Android Nougat on India Version
Split Screen is advantage (but not many app support however you can force them to)
Slightly more responsive ( like 5 percent)
camera is same (with an added option in manual mode)
audio is also similar
i feel battery consumption when device is used is same ( maybe doze helps when phone is in sleep but i didnt notice much improvement)
My device hanged once (in youtube app). Restarted itself after 5 mins.
Indirect access to small apps ( i never really used them)
{
Other things such as detailed (two taps to toggle) mobile data , wifi and bluetooth. Displays important things on settings , NOtification quick reply these are android N features sony didnt mess with
}
I feel its an simple upgrade of API . Everything else is similar to MM.

HELP

Is your phone is ringing on calls? Mine doesnt ringing from the day I updated to nougat.

Yes it is.
Make sure you have applied a ringtone and its not in Do Not Disturb mode.

HELLO PRASHAD, I HEARD YOU GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BL? Some guy is spreading that news. Is it true?

Nope, not true. With out bootloader unlock, it is impossible to root the device.
IOVYROOT will get temp root access to backup the TA Partition, but after reboot, the device loses the root access. It is only for taking backup, you can not modify the system. If you try to modify the system with temp root access, your device will be dead after reboot.

Software (ease of use, features, etc)

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the Xiaomi Mi 8's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Software out of box is a tragicomedy on Global version. You have to change it to developer version at least. --> rating: *
Sort list of problems:
- battery life is short.
- lot of unnecessary apps which can not be disabled or removed.
- multiple maintenance softwares which helps nothing.
- menu system is complicated, often used features is hard to reach eg SOT.
- launcher is a basic one without any options.
- some features are not enabled in MIUI 10.2.3: Galileo, themes, notch settings, etc.
- bluetooth problems: it can not see my HR sensor, but works with custom rom.
- Slow LTE in some region: you have to set up manually the correct network in the hidden menu. Hard to find the necessary information.
But you can flash custom roms, eg. Havoc. --> rating: **** (it has some bugs therefore not 5*)
Some problem will stay in custom roms too: eg. slow LTE -> network type have to be changed.

As a person that didn't use any but AOSP, MIUI feels like a clone of ios, but a bad one. I'll try to provide the issues which wasn't mentioned on previous post.
- Background processes are highly restricted, which leads to issues with messaging apps like WhatsApp. The notifications will be usually delivered late, and sometimes you need to open the app manually to receive messages.
- As an AOSP, TouchWiz and ZenUI user, it's really hard to get used to the UI.
- To unlock bootloader, you have to ask for it and wait for 14 days to be able to do it.
- They add issues and remove good features with every update.
- Face recognition for the unlock works only for some regions.
- Ads in system apps. What the hell?
- Forces you to use Mi services which are fishy. Do you really want to give your information to a Chinese company for free?

Software is rubbish and the bloatware and ads are terrible. Will be flashing the pixel 3 Android as soon as possible. It's a Shame because the phone is really good.

Not like that.Haha.Android 8 and above is confirmed only for 16 series now. And new 16s will come with flyme 8.So Only new model phones will get android updates not older ones.

Hello Adam,
I have installed this version and I have several issues, hope you can help me:
1. I can't install apps from Google play store while using cellular connection, only with wi-fi. I granted permission to use the data to the play store.
2. All of my purchased apps from Google are not recognized by the app and state that I have to buy the premium version.
3. My contacts in the Google account can't be synced (other info of google is synced)
When I installed this ROM I cleared the data
Thanks

After installation of google services via google installer,you need to allow all permissions of google apps names starting google in settings.Only open playstore after it.Uninstall services and do install again.Hope you got what i said.

Hi Adam!
I'm confused a bit about which ROM should I use. Currently I'm on stock 7.0.1.0G.
If I'm willing to upgrade which one should I use. There are quite a few options such as: 7.2.0.0A, 7.8.7.16G, 7.8.7.24A or even 7.8.8.9A.
I can't find a out whats are the differences. For sure all of them are Nougat based. but then...
Could you please guide me which one to pick?!
Thanks!

I need the original build.prop of the rom Flyme 7.2.0.0A Stable Final. I made many changes without a proper backup. If anyone can send me a copy, thank you.

Choose latest 7.2.0.0 A if your concern is about getting more stability and security patches.
Choose latest beta A if you want slight more battery backup.

I have some issue with 7.2.0.0A. I already installed it. But when I try to login into flyme account I get a message that I'm still loged in with another account and I have to logout with that first. I bought my Phone 2nd hand and the seller told me he removed this phone from his account.
The interesting thing that if I use the 7.0.1.0G than I can login with my own without any problem.
I'm still negotiating with the seller how could és solve this.
Do you have any idea how could I overcome this issue if I can't manage IT with the seller?
Thanks!

Login on flyme account using computer and change the password there. Once password changed you have to login everywhere again since all active sessions gone out.

Is there any way to install a altered ROM on this phone? If I add or delete anything from the official ROM then it states it is corrupt.
Or is it possible to install TWRP on it? I think with that maybe its possible to install some tweaked ROM.

apparently there is no custom rom, twrp, xposed. what I recommend is to enable root and delete apps and system folders. I did and I gained more ram and less use of the processor in the background. and longer battery life

Never.It's not possible.Meizu will not allow us to unlock bootloader.

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Really really bad multitasking performance on k20pro 6/64 for me, I just hit home from the game, launch facebook for 5 minutes and went back and the game already reload?? Why xiaomi? why should it be that bad?. I'm using xiaomi eu 9.7.4 with no tweaking to the system whatsoever

Change the settings in battery saving to "no restrictions" and also to allow the game to stay on in the background go to app permissions and allow the game or app you want to autostart and to start in the background (also found in permissions ) < all this if you are using MIUI
hope it helps

You can try by disabling MIUI optimisation from developer options.
I did and looks like most of my apps are staying in the memory until I close them (but not games, I am talking of google maps, Facebook, browser, etc.).

Yes battery saver is actually freezing our background apps. and its force closing.
1. if you want performance then put it on "No Restrictions" from app permission.
2. if you want optimisation then optimistic option is there for all apps like Yes battery saver is actually freezing our background apps. and its force closing.
1. if you want performance then put it on "No Restrictions" from app permission.
2. if you want optimisation then optimistic option is there for all apps like installed and systems as well as.
3. if you like battery automatically without turns on "Battery Savings" then go to apps details and manually check our own choice.
4. Xiaomi i am having in a worst time to seen that you are still using "CLEAN MASTER" by default in security apps, i hate cheetah Mobile Corporation.
please remove Clean master.
and best app is "QUICK HEAL". please tie-up with QUICKHEAL Co. They are best.
Avast is also good. But u should give users priority first on after sales services. Atleast do this on your premium devices like K20 PRO.
5. Add AppLock on SECURITY . anyone can delete our data from "CLEAN UP" option.

Try to disable option "Use Adaptive Battery" under Battery & performance.

I have a K20 Pro with Global ROM for MI9T Pro. Superb multitasking with "Use Adaptive Battery" On and also MIUI optimization is On. Just the apps that I want to stay in memory are set to "No restrictions". In multitasking also the apps that I need are with lock.

Software is the weakpoint of this phone.
Coming from Oneplus 7T I am missing its software and features, such us the Ambient Display and Customizations.

If only the extra features were the problem..
I constantly feel like i have to FIGHT the software on this phone just to get basic functionality working properly.
The power management and security features seem to be actively blocking me from using the same thing i did for the last 5-10 years of Android devices.

I have received my X50 Pro a few days ago and coming from Samsung (Note 10+) and Xiaomi (Mix2s) I actually feel that the OS is nicely clean - at least in the EU Rom version A30. The only (obvious) bloatware is a preinstalled Netflix App that unfortunately can not be removed without unlocked BL and some Google standard Apps that I would never use. Beside that the X50 Pro is (on the visible side) very close to stock and functions as expected.

Every bloatware app can be removed by ADB bloatware removal commands without unlocking the bootloader, just look for the right app name on other Realme forums.
I've already removed pre-installed youtube and youtube music app and switched to Youtube Vanced and YMusic and everything runs well.

Quite a few little niggles:
1. Nova Launcher's Google Companion app gets killed frequently by the OS, so i can't have the left-swipe-to-google-feed.
2. Google Calendar widget stops updating after a while, presuambly after being killed by the OS. i have to open the calendar and refresh for it to work again.
3. I can't use any other messaging app for SMS - I always get a "Due to security, default app was reset to Messages".
4. Android Auto doesn't seem to work because the OS blocks it from launching the needed apps, it just endlessly tries to start for me.
5. Google Clock alarms never fire; the OS seems to kill those.
6. I still miss notifications quite a lot because simply the OS decided to kill the apps/services for the apps and i get nothing until i run them again.
Some of these are eased by running in High Performance mode and disabling App Freeze, allowing explicit background run, allowing startup/associated startup, allowing floating windows for those apps.
Some just don't work and i had to give up on them for now.
