Write up a list of what you have on it, like bloat ware and such and we can give you an idea. I've disabled plenty of stick apps that I wasn't using.

Apps drawer...

I've been using the phone for like a week now..had some bugs and problems with it..the most recent one was that i can not access an app with a single tab on the app icon...i have to tap it like 7 8 times...i after playing with radio bands and stuff i somehow managed to block my phone from my network provider so i had no coverage so i resorted the phone and after the factory reset the phone was just bugless...although the app problem appeared again..

Try to repair the phone using pc companion.

I am sure you are not using the charger that came with the phone.

I think this is the XPERIA Z launcher bug I had the same after 2 days I have looked and cant find any solution so I installed the XPERIA T launcher from here.

You really should use the Sony charger. The HTC charger may have a different output.

Changing the size of the navbar

Hello everybody!
I'm new to Xperia Z after selling my Galaxy S3. I love my new Xperia Z but the navbar is to big! -.-
Is there anyway to make it smaller? Changing it's dpi maybe? Could anybody suggest something?
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
It seems as though your only option is to root the phone. That way you can manipulate the navbar any way you see fit. I don't think there is any official way of editing it. Which sucks IMO.

I forgot to add that I've already rooted it, sorry!
I've tried Ultimate Navigation Bar and I don't like it. I just want that original navbar to be smaller

[app] [s-voice]

Instructions:
Download from here
Flash Zip in recovery.
Reboot, skip setup wizard and press microphone (Or say 'Hi Galaxy') to start using.
Notes:
Google Now is faster, but this app has been modded to have a sexier voice
Also opens more apps, will tell jokes, shamelessly bag Siri, plus many other personal interactions, depending on what is asked
Available in US English only.
Have fun :good:
Trying it...

Any possible ways to add the customize command lines to open an app with one word as we customize. (?)

Battery drain in 4.2.2 update? Personal experiences

Hello everyone.
I just received my xperia z and started to use it on the 4.1.2 JB version, surprisingly the battery was reasonable.
I was hesistant on upgrading it to 4.2.2 as the feeling of battery issues, I looked up the update and I didn't find anything with battery drain due to 4.2.2 so I updated it. Though now my battery does go much faster compared too 4.1.2
Does anyone else have this issue and personal experiences on how or if it got better after a while?
Thanks,
JJon

Let phone discharge until it dies, then charge to 100% with phone off, then boot up and charge 1 additional hour. So battery levels will get proper calculations.
You are on non de-bloated stock right?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yes the 4.2.2 is completely stock no root etc. The phone just came out of the box 2 days ago. So ill let it fully discharge and then fully charge it up so the battery can read correctly
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I find my battery lasts a little better on 4.2.2 than it did before. Only marginally but it's a start. I now use a Powerbank Case just as insurance when I'm out on site with work. But I often do get two days use out of it

If this doesn't fix your battery drain problem, rooting, deodexing of ROM and de-bloating (+ perhaps some deep system tweaking..) of bloatware will fix it.

Xperia t problem

Does anybody know why my phone says this. Other xperia phones have a letter after touch firmware version but mine says not supported and what is srm validation?
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
On the first question I got a half answer: don't worry, my phone shows exactly the same and nothing wrong with it. (still factory stock)
On the 2nd one: where do you get that?
