I don't know if it's just my handset that has this issue. If it's an issue at all.
My GPS takes forever to find my actual location. Leaving central London yesterday on the M4 the GPS around 25 minutes to find where I was. It isn't really acceptable to be quite honest.
Is there an issue or is it a handset fault solely affecting me?

My GPS locates my position in a couple of seconds.
Have you tried the GPS Test on service menu?

Done. It took nearly an hour to find a signal. But it found one... I don't understand. If the hardware is working why isn't the signal being detected in a normal time frame.

Have you tried reflashing a stock rom. And see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you probably have some tweak or module doing stuff to the gps.
If the problems still there it could be your carrier or a faulty device.
Flashed back already. Several times. I haven't got any tweaks or changes going on, the only reason I rooted was to rid myself of the bloat.
This is really annoying me, if I have got another crop handset off Sony I will definitely be going back to HTC phones.

Are you removing fast dormancy? For some carriers it's needed.
I think so. I have basically now gone down the route of stopping the phone cutting any process off for any reason. Still the issue persists though.

this is just a wild guess, but worth a shot.
try redownloading the stock rom, check md5 and be sure to make a clean install.
try download "FasterGPS" from playstore, to get the time from a ntp server near you, to avoid wrong time for the fix due to delay on a long travel from the ntp package

Is the Bluetooth issue fixed? It was refusing to turn on after being turned off.

Did you wait for your device to do it automatically, or did you sideload an apk?
I'm asking because I still don't have the new Play Store.

Could be your charing port on the phone, I had to replace mine not that long ago.
That's what I thought it was, but i went back to Avatar Rom 1.3 and it's back to normal. No biggie though, changed my everyday phone to a Nexus 4 and I just use the Note as a Tablet for Netflix and YouTube.

It does take a lot longer to charge but I figured the battery(s) are larger. The biggest bug I've experienced (at the wrong time of course) is the loss of Network (calls) when shutting off WiFi. I have to reboot the phone.
Love it otherwise. I use it as my daily and can't wait for the next build in a week or so.
Not getting the network problem here. Might try to redownload and reflash.
The latest few nightlies have not been real stable. I keep going back to my backup of this M3, it does everything well here, fast and stable.

Been having the same problem with file transfers locking up the phone and the screen jumping back and forth on websites and Kindle.
I've re-flashed clean and that helped the network issue dropping after turning off WiFi.
Let's see how the new RC1 build does...
YMMV, but here M3 is a lot more stable than RC1. There is a thread in the general forum on RC1.
I tested file transfers after your post on another thread. Stopped after 2 GB so its working OK here. Might test with different cables, computers.
Actually bad advice. I should have suggested that when the freeze happens you need to file a bug report here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org
Mornin'! (at least here in PL)
Yesterday when i was in jacuzzi i decided to take some underwater pictures using my Z. Ive heared it isnt designed to be submerged, though of course SONY promotes it as it does. Ok but lets move to a problem. After first picture taken accuracy gone bad, the water was clean but pictures of even close localised things were blurred. I remember someone here on forum showed his underwater pictures and they were great actually. Mine were not worth a penny... After bathing i had swab the water all of my device and then i saw the mist on the interior site of mirror of camera. Now its already gone but had been there for few houres. Camera still works perfect after mist had gone, no problems there, however mist is an evidence of water coming somehow through. All of the indicators are white, so its not where the problem comes from. So my question is are you guys facing with such a thing after bathing, is it normal or is it as i said evidence of malfunction? Next question if i bought my Z from polish network Play does it mean warranty is ensured only by them or i can take it to SONY Center and they can fix up this issue too?

Some people are def. confused. XZ was never designed as underwater camera. Keep it safe and out of water.

Hi all,
I noticed that no matter what rom I am using, my gps is having serious trouble to get fix. Even using tools to reset agps data, I'd not bringing any luck.
I own this phone since March, and it worked always very well... Full a month (at least that is the moment I noticed I get hardly a fix).
Is it something with the antenna? What can be done without sending for repair?

Update 1: I used gps test, of the 23 sats I get a fix with 4 only after 30 minutes. With my wife's HTC one, I get within 2 minutes a fix with 15 sats...

All, I have solved the issue, after opening up the xperia z, they were simply 2 screws lying loose in the phone... And I never had it opened. Good thing I asked someone to open the phone for me , if I would sent it for warranty they probably would have tried to put it aside warranty as it seemed someone opened and messed around on the phone..

It seems that Android System uses a really high amount of battery, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, or would know how to find out.
My battery lasts around 5 hours anymore, doing the same thing I used to do when it lasted 17+.
Any help would be super appreciated.

Why are you on JB? What setup are you using? Also, a screen shot from Wakelock detector would be appreciated.
I'm rooted stock 4.3. I just didn't really like the update from it, so I went back to 4.3.

I noticed that on 4.3, yeah, the phone radio was the biggest consumer of battery, butconsidering your usage, perhaps screen usage should be greater. Regardless, you're getting 4SOT/23.5SBY which is far better than I'm getting (2.5/14) on KK. lol
If you think about it, if nothing is waking your device, the phone radio is the only thing using power during sleep. So I guess it makes sense.
How about this? Supposing it has to do with the end of charge mechanic of the cpu, but it's worth a check.
Perhaps the battery is just going bad, after a year?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
Any other ways I could see what's causing such a drain on the battery? I fear pretty soon keeping it plugged in won't even give it charge enough to stay on.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
Or maybe something about this may help figure it out? I put it in Airplane Mode while charging and it didn't seem to make a difference in the rate at which it charged.
Could that possibly narrow down the cause?

Well that's a bit extreme. You need Google Services for a lot of things, and that app is central to the android experience.
That's not to mention all the FCs he could get.
I find the phone stutters quite a bit too. Like freezes for a few seconds then carries on with what I'm doing.

tbh it's hard to tell. I would say do a TI backup and flash something fresh. If you like JB, I think viper 3.5 is good for you.
You could also try calibrating your battery. I did it, and it seems to have had, at the very least, a slight placebo effect .
