Hello everybody (Xperia Z1 Owners with Official KitKat 4.4.2)
I recently bought Xperia Z1 and updated it to 4.4.2, but after updating I'm having some issues.
1. When exiting any app, phone should go to home screen, for example I opened the Camera with the dedicated button and used it and pressed back button. As soon as I pressed Back button, the Settings comes up, sometimes dailer, sometimes some other app. Also it just not for Camera it happens mostly for any app I use.
2. When I get call, as I lift the call by dragging the green button the calls automatically starts with loudspeaker sometimes.
3. Battery drains faster sometimes.. like it was 95% and after few minutes it goes 92% (I was not using the phone at that time, it was idle)
4. Unlock animation, most the times while swiping I get smaller bubbles.
Any body having same issues, or any of the above.

1. I have the same problem as well, for me the app just comes up and then quickly closes again though.
2. I don't call too often, but I think I've had this problem once, I also could've accidentally turned it on with my cheek though.
3. Not a clue, could be a personal thing.
4. No idea what you mean but doesn't seem to be a major problem.
I have the same issues....bad....let's waiting the 4.4.3

About the Unlock Animation, it works different when you set the live wallpaper theme and different if you use the static wallpaper theme.
I also get Camera Not Available sometimes!!

1. That happens sometimes with the KK update, the best way to fix that is simply do a factory reset of your phone in the settings
2. Known problem start with Factory Reset, if this not help repair via PC Companion
3. Known problem too, KK update make battery calibration that drain battery, that's back to normal after one or 2 days if not then it's because the SDCard access has be removed from 3rd app with KK that cause battery drain and overheating (i have this one with a 64Gb SDCard :crying: ) to be sure remove your SDCARD and test if there is no battery drain anymore then join us to the SDCard Crying Group and wait that Sony Fix that...
4.That's what you have by default you can change it in settings.

Its not a problem it has been done on purpose.
Sony will not fix it because its implemented by google to fix security issues. All companies running Android are bound by contracts to use this feature. It actually makes you phone more secure.

No i wasn't talking about that, many people haven't the battery drain/overheat problem but with some certains SDCARD/Capacity that cause that, let me explain : if i use my 64GB class 10 SDCard with KK that cause huge battery drain and overheating and ONLY with KK, not a single problem if i reflash the phone to JB 4.3 and i've tested all that is possible to do, format, reset etc... nothing works with KK :crying:

It stops third party apps reading anything you keep on your SDcard, like passwords, bank details and other sensitive information you may keep there. For example, I use online banking on my phone and I have sensitive information like that on my SDcard, now no other app can read it.

Yes, its on KK because KK stops third party apps reading the SDcard, so some KK un-optimised apps keep trying to read it but cant, causing overheat and battery drain

Then i need to wait that apps update right?
Sadly i have no idea what apps cause that it's too hard to find the way because even with no app and the official stock rom i still have the battery drain overheating problem, the only solution for the moment is to remove my lovely cuttie 64Gb class 10 SDCard
If you are rooted and can change the permissions to remove this access.
Look in the general section, you just add one line to a permissions file. There is also an app in the play store that does it for you automatically

But I can keep them on Internal (as the Internal is also a SDcard, External SDcard1, and they do the same job) so to me do not make sense.

camera lag
I have the camera lag. when I open the camera app it takes complete a second or two to open. and if you open it from lock screen it takes for ever. well at least from the lock screen it was laggy on .569 too. other than that the UI is slightly slower and laggy than .569.

Surprised no one's mentioned it yet...
Bluetooth is a load of s#!t, much worse than before.
I use it in my car, so I only switch it on when I'm driving.
The Bluetooth toggle option now takes longer to get to; a hassle when you just wanna get going.
So, I figure I'd make use of the Quick Throw widget on the lock screen. What a joke! You have to swipe down on the widget to first expand it, then tap on it, then input your screen lock unlock pattern (or equivalent). That then turns on WiFi and Bluetooth, and it searches for your saved paired devices. Seems to take longer to connect, too.
Last time I used it, though, I had to manually select my car for it to connect. When it finally did, I soon realised that for whatever reason my music was playing in order instead of shuffled (via the Walkman app), as I had it when I last played my music (after the update).
Also, whenever a notification came through (from Facebook), the music stopped completely. I had to press the play button on my car twice (as the first time registered as "pausing" the music, even though it had already stopped), and then when the song started playing once more, it was back at the beginning again!
Oh, and when I finish driving now (meaning my car is not running, along with its Bluetooth), the damn music continues to play, making me have to manually turn it off.
Argh. Kinda regretting updating, but it's early days and so I'm hopeful that I can find some workarounds.

And what about the re-mount reboot fix what would happen to it in the KitKat Update? This would do a bootloop for Link2Sd and folder mount users
And About rooting how will we root ? Will the CM Kernel work with the super SU zip?
There are many questions I can'T answer
I don't know if my comment is effective against this issue, but, just in case you guys don't have any idea about this
A Bit of A Problem, I Think
Why do we always get less features?
First, Sony decides to cut "Profiles" feature in 4.3. Then we discover "App-ops" is missing too.
And now no ART for 4.4. Add to that, the SD card restrictions!
Why Sony?
Hello there,
I've just bought Infinix Hot 2 (1GB version) because it's the only Android One device in Egypt (Awesome specs for the price, too!)
I was wondering if the current Marshmallow build is stable enough for daily use/doesn't have major bugs and if you think I should upgrade right away or stay on Lollipop for a while?

do not upgrade it now until a stale one comes out
its good enough for daily use,just backup your data first or you will lose it when you update
Well... Apart from all the marshmallow goodies the phone sometimes behaves weirdly, like when you leave the phone for a while then push the power button the screen takes about 5 seconds to turn on, no idea why maybe it's not stable yet as others said and it has to do with doze but otherwise I haven't encountered any major bugs, crashes... Etc.
I hope they will roll a patch soon though, maybe you should wait until then if you're worried.

quite buggy update
My girlfriend updated her Hot 2, and there are quite a few issues
* As previoulsy stated, when the phone is in sleep mode, and when pressing the power button, it can take a few seconds for the screen to display the lock screen..
* When she wants to hang up a call, sometimes the screen stays black, sometimes the screen shows the hang up button, but it is not possible to click it, and she has to wait that the other side terminates the call
* caller name display does not work correctly, depending on how the caller's number is entered in contact list (with spaces between digits, and minus, etc....).
* when using to sim and configured "always ask" for sending SMS, it is not possible to send SMS anymore. When pressing the send button, an error message states that no prefered network is selected. SMS network must be forced in SIM menu
* contact list management is bad : merging seems to be broken, deleting duplicate entries prevents selecting remaining entries, and so on
I'm considering to rollback to 5.1, current bugs are very annoying and prevents correct usage of the phone, while it was working very well previously
Temporary fix for delay on screen light waking up
Hi, anyone who updated to marshmallow is facing the issue with the screen taking too long to awaken.
To fix that you can go to the play store and instal an app called wake lock.
Once you've installed it, select: PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK.
This seemed to solve the problem with the screen taking too long to wake up but it came at the cost of battery life. The battery drains a little quicker than regular.
This also fixes the issue with the screen not responding or coming back on after you make/receive a call.
The issue with the contact names not showing is annoying and I still haven't figured out how to fix that yet. Let's just hope Google fixes it soon.
Hope this helped.
guys , i am already on marshmallow but i got nw another update 836.6 mb
anyone got that update ?
Got the same update you are talking about. It's the monthly security patch for February. Came with some changes to the system like audio profiles and "do not disturb" when u swipe from the top of the screen and some other stuff. Try it out

Mine had issues when I first upgraded to nougat with mirroring but it magically fixed itself lol
Only thing I've noticed is even with Auto rightness off the screen still dims itself ever so slightly when you leave a lighted area and go to a darker area, I'm assuming it's the blue light filter....Even though I have that option turned off.

Hi Norbarb,
Last weekend, I was on QA4 then I Odin'd back to APK1 and took the Official ATT OTA update to Nougat 7.0.
I just tested screen mirroring and it worked without any problems. Sorry, I don't have a Samsung BluRay to test.
Now the issue that I've been having is reboots. In the beginning, when I was first on N7.0 I had no problems whatsoever for a few days.
- On Feb. 20th, I kept getting a message that one of my apps unexpectedly closed. Now this app is old and wasn't even supported on MM (it's called Webcams widget) but it had worked flawlessly on MM and Nougat QA4.
- Then on Feb. 21st I had a couple of reboots happen, I went into a solid Bootloop that started in the afternoon and kept rebooting for around 10-15 times! It stopped long enough for me to actually Power Off my S7E down in the normal manner and I left it that way for around 5 minutes.
- I searched for solutions and finally ended up clearing the Cache Partition like this:
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
When the phone powers on, the Android System Recovery screen appears approx. 30 seconds later.
Release all of the keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight "wipe cache partition."
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press thePower key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
My phone went without a reboot for almost 2 days then yesterday afternoon I had one single reboot. My next test (if needed) will be to clear each app cache/data. Unless it gets really, really bad again, only then will I resort to a complete reset.
The only difference between using my phone on the official QA6 and the sideloaded QA4 is that I had turned off auto-updating for my Play Store apps when on QA4 (and earlier). I had a lot of updates occur when updating to QA6.
Doing more research today, I found an article talking about some common Nougat problems and possible fixes here.

Did you preform factory reset ?
It help me with lot of problems. Just make backup using Samsung Cloud and after factory reset using restore from Samsung cloud you will have 97% all of you settings and apps back. It is wort to do it.
Actually I just took a guess and re-enabled com.qualcomm.atfwd. I don't have a wifi display BUT I haven't gotten "Android System has stopped" since I turned it back on. This was never an issue on MM. If it happens again I'll try a few more packages related to Android System before a factory reset.

What App did you use to disable it?

Package Disabler Pro. It's the only one that currently works in Nougat as far as I know.
I switched to OnePlus 3T today, and here are few observations guys...
Compared to Nougat on S7E... different level of speed and responsiveness, way different.
I used CM and AOSP roms in the past, on different phones, I know they fast, but this... speed demon out of the box, with MM or Nougat.
Feel bad for leaving S7E forums, but believe me guys, it is a flagship killer indeed. Unbelievable.
I will go back to Sammy with S8 only if they will be able to keep up with this kind of speed, plain and simple.
I was hoping with every generation that Sammy will get rid of touchwiz lags... new phones and new chipsets were piling up, but it never changed, unfortunately.
Touch wiz nougat is a bloody mess next to 3T nougat...
Yes yes, I know. But I never used edge panels... or OOD that much.
Peace out guys!

Samsung Cloud? Can't find in app store.
[EDIT]
I'm guessing it's part of Nougat 7.0?

It's not available in 6.0.1 I'm currently on.

Only thing I've noticed is even with Auto rightness off the screen still dims itself ever so slightly when you leave a lighted area and go to a darker area, I'm assuming it's the blue light filter....Even though I have that option turned off.

I have this issue also, it keeps dimming constantly, and my blind self can't read it without manually turning up the brightness.

Hello. My first post here. I have been lurking & reading for years.
I have a few of the minor issues that others have, like the colors will be washed out sometimes, pull down notifications are a bit harder to read. My main issue with this update is that my recently used apps will randomly close when the screen is locked & only keep 4 or 5 open. I want them to all stay open & I close the ones I no longer need. That is why I got this phone in the first place. Now apps that I need to go back to later & continue working are gone. Very annoying. I assumed it was a new performance setting activated without any explanation of how it will affect normal usage. I can't find where to change that particular setting, if it is changeable at all now.

Thanks for the tip. I tried that a few times. No change. Even added frequently used apps to be unmonitored. It is still closing all recently used apps, except the last 4 or 5. I just now turned off the app power monitor completely. It didn't change the estimated battery life hardly any. We'll see how that goes for a while.

Just go to settings and search for battery. Then you will see what apps you can stop to have better battery live

Go back to U firmware. If you use Nougat less then week how can you say anything about battery. I got 20-22 hours of use and around 4 screen time. How much more do you need? Why people are so greedy? All i hear everywhere is i want more, i need more, give me more etc. When babble going to blow.

Running latest stock firmware and at least once a day my phone reboots automatically. Auto restart is turned off. I have it on the table and next thing it just reboots. One time this week it turned off completely. Has anyone else experienced this and or know of a solution? Thanks
I cannot confirm anything you describe. It's either caused by a bad or disabled application or possibly faulty hardware. Test your phone at Safe Mode to see if the restarts stop. If so, you need to find out which app is causing it.

Can confirm. It happens to me as well. Not everyday. It is completely random. Happened twice today. After I charged it. Don't know if charging it is connected somehow to the issue. Every android phone I buy just has some odd quirks. No more. After this one I'm done. You barely see any problems like this with an iPhone.

You using a SD card? If so try pulling it.
If you did any firmware update flashes since getting it, factory reset.
At least clear the system cache...
A hard reset may also get it.

Then check your Android System WebView version according this article:

Thanks to all for the replies. Something i have noticed (and i hope i don't jinx myself now) is that since i turned off the "auto optimise daily" feature, i haven't had a single reboot or power off.

Yeah leave that junk turned off... power management is known to cause erratic behavior as well.
How it's going with the random reboots? Do you still have a problem or turning off "auto optimise daily" fixed it?

This is not normal behavior.
If it's under warranty now might be the time... at least get the documentation started.
Have you cleared the system cache?
Try in Safe Mode as pointed it maybe a 3rd party apk; power management apps and 3rd party launchers are prime candidates. Anything that runs in the background when the screen is off.
Factory reset time...
If that doesn't get try replacing the sim card and removing the SD card if any.
If you still can't find it try reflashing the firmware.
It maybe a hardware failure... and intermittent ones can be the hardest to track down.

I think it actually turned out to be Nova launcher causing the problem. I uninstalled it and turned back on auto optimise on Saturday and i haven't had a reboot since.

Nova launcher premium or free and what version?
I'm using Nova Prime, I haven't noticed any reboots but there has been occasions where the fingerprint scanner was switched back to code unlock like it had just booted up. I'll check up time if it happens again.
Latest free from Play store. 6.2.18.
I might try amd reinstall it later to see if the issue reoccurs, but there has been no reboots since i uninstalled it thankfully.

This is normal security behaviour in Android and it happens every few days. It has nothing common with used launcher.

Might want to quit while you're ahead. A buggy 3rd party launcher is a sure fire way to crash and burn a Android OS. Boot looped twice by one on my stock Note 10+.
Take any noticable instability seriously...

No doubt you're absolutely right about that, but on the other hand, with the Nova launcher, it's not normal behavior. Nova is rock solid, I've used it for years on various devices, and there's never been a problem.

While I found that it's not better than the native One UI launcher, Nova Launcher didn't boot loop my 10+ into oblivion... lol, a definite plus.
What I found was it was slower and that I lost some features I liked with One UI. It used a lot more battery but some of that was due to tweaking it, but even when I wasn't adjusting it's settings it's battery usage was high. One UI unlike some of Sammy's past launchers is a fast and very stable launcher... hard to beat.
Samsung's are very customizable in their stock configuration, other makes not near as much so.
So yeah I get why you might want use a 3rd party launcher and Nova is at the top of the candidates. Not being at the mercy of every new flavor of OS and native launcher is also more harmonious and productive... so yeah, I get it.
I don't use Nova launcher and I have random reboots. What I' ve noticed is that the reboots were happening when I wasn't using the phone for a while. Also when the phone turned back on an application was active in notification curtain. In the beginning it was TuneIn although I had it force stopped from settings everytime I was using it. After I uninstalled it I didn't had any incident for quite a while. Two days ago I had a lot of reboots in a day. The app working after the reboots was always Samsung Accessory Service, I have Galaxy Watch 3 also. My guess is that the UI is trying to kill an app and it crashes. When I find some time I 'll try a factory reset with fresh install cause my current set up is based on settings from my previous phone (LH V30).
