p970 taking too long to unlock!

Hello, I have noticed that my device has taken a long time to respond by pressing the unlock button. I've tried to give a full wipe, install other roms and the problem continues ... Anyone have an idea what I can do to solve it? thanks!!

how long?

if its like a second, its normal
if more, you might want to see the minimum frequency, governor etc
what rom are you on?

I tried a lot of rom... with all of them I had this problem... I`m using now the MercurySandwich ROM, at times it unlocks in a second, but sometimes it takes too long... about 30 seconds or more... even I need to press the unlock button more than 1 time...

try changing the governor to smartass and disable DVFS
try zeus

Normaly it's unlocked in much less than a second, but I already had it a few times that it takes some seconds. ROM doesn't really seem to make a difference, even if I had the feeling that it happend more on CM7 than other OS. Seems to be not directly a HW thing, but normaly it's: press the button and it's unlocked directly.

As i said, try changing your governor etc. There is a thread in the question and answers section itself, search for it. Its pretty recent

[Q] Lag on Xperia Z 4.3

Hello Xda. I have a Sony Xperia Z, stock rom, locked bootloader , non-rooted and with android 4.3 (10.4.B.0.569, Belgium version). All of my games lags on this device ( asphalt 8 , subway surf, even fruit ninja sometimes). Except games, nothing lags (menu, transition between apps etc). I tried many of the 10.4.B.0.569 build versions (singapore, switzerland, australia version ) but nothing changes. Strangely is that on .267 version the menu, album, camera was laggy, but not the games. Anyone knows what can I do to resolve the lag problem? (root or changing the phone from stock isn't an option, because I don't want to lose warranty).

You won't lose warranty by rooting mate..

its wierd because it lags... serioulsy..maybe u have a phone with faulty hardware.

You can Try the Repair-option in the Sony PC companion. be AWARE that you might lose all your data, but the program will warn you again if this risk exists.
A better option would be to flash a Stock rom with flashtool and datawipe unticked. If you feel unsure about using flashtool, this thread should help. If, after reading it you still feel unsure, ask me via PM, I might be able to help you.
If you don't want to mess around with flashing and things like that, you can tap settings/about phone/build number a few times and play with the developer options, especially the categoty "hardware-accelerated rendering". be aware that the developer options can (very very rarely) have unexpected behavour like forceclosing apps. It has been a long while since it last happened to me, but just go untick whatever you did and it will be fine again. do not simulate a secondary screen if you have that option.

I have this lag as well. I have not been able to identify why.

logcating the phone gives lots of vsync delay messages, could be the problem. (use logcat extreme and see for yourself.)

To free the system resources it takes up to write it. Besides, logcat files could take up several hundred megabytes of internal memory on my I9100.

I play a stupid game called Kiwi Dash, after a while the phone gets hot, really hot, on the back, next to the camera, you know, where the processor is located
Well, when it gets hot the lags appears, I had previously a CPU meter and I came to the conclusion that when it gets hot it slows down the CPU, one time in the summer it reached 50 celsius, even the home screen was laggy! So I bet that our foe is the overheated CPU....

never had that problem with the i9100, but I'm sure you can find a kernel with logs disabled somwhere in the Original Android Development sub-forum...

It is well known that this device has a overheat protection "thermal throttling". It slows down the CPU if the phone is in danger of overheating. you could try to run the game at 720p instead of 1080 via xposed module to see if it is easier on the chips. but the hardware stays 1080p, so the load on the chips wil stay comparatively high...

KitKat Quick Glance

As we all note kitkat has been out for 2 days
My quick impression is that it isn't good
LAAAAAG in launcher (Not Lockscreen nor apps) (GPU Rendering isn'T very effective)
Battery is being killed
Camera seems to worse in low light condition (Will post an comparason later) and slower
No update for the stock apps (Xperia blog has those)
Post your Impressions below How do you feel
Update:In NUT's recovery don't enter TeamWinRecovery for me it caused an refuse boot
had to connect in download mode (Without flashing anything)
Opening PhilzTouch recovery and booted from there to system

I find it quite responsive after the initial lag in the settings menu and bad battery life.
What's really annoying me though is that I can't find a tweak which enables expanded desktop properly. Despite KitKat apparently natively supporting expanded desktop mode, Gravity Box for some reason doesn't want to work properly. It worked perfectly in 4.2.2. So I'm hoping someone can make a working version.

Another test
if you use the voice message of FB Messenger your mic gets locked
and you will have to restart your Phone to make it work

i've had kit kat for two days now on my xperia zr no root, locked bootloader. I have no lags, everything works quick just like 4,3. The only issue is that google play services drains battery like crazy (at this very moment is on 87% on battery use ) :/

There is an xposed mod
Called Force imersive mode try it

What Rom? I am thinking of switching ?
Carbon or BeanStack ?

kitkat
I don't see/feel any problems on my C5503
running smooth

Any Major difference in terms of functionality between 4.4 and 4.3 except the Theme Color? If not I'll stick with 4.3 itself:victory:.
Also Please provide the Walkman, Gallery and Movies APP Version in 4.4

I'm kinda surprised with all ur reviews here coz I don't have any lag issues whatsoever.
I'm using a prerooted version of .230 on my C5502.
The phone is responsive, I got a decent antutu score of around 21225 and the battery barely drains.. I had a perfectly flat battery graph for abt 4 n a half hours (of course I wasn't using the phone but that also means it's going into the appropriate power mode effectively). And even when I was using it, I got a decent full day of use out of it.

TOO ALL WITH LAG ISSUES!

Carbon is good but Mokee is officially supported and offers much better functions IMO eg. split screen screen recording and awesome handy shortcuts from the recents menu... i am using stock 4.4.2 sony for now but i am already missing Mokee..
in any case if you want to move back to cm/asop/akop i would recommend Mokee but don't get me wrong i still love Carbon Rom.
I think i'm getting 20% less battery time on sony kk

I noticed lag and heating issues at first install but if you leave it for a while it seems like it fixes itself.. I would say it uses about 20% more battery than maybe a cm rom..

At first I thought that being with my own home made rooted version was the cause of the lag. In the z forum I read about wiping data and factory reset and also reboot a couple of times. I have to say that the lag is gone. I like the Kitkat version so far. I even made it deodexed and put z2 app in the app folder even that works. So if you can find the new updated apps it is possible to get them working.

I Reflashed with Flashtool With Wipe Data
and then a system restore Everything is fine now (Even without touching GPU rendering)

early morning rant
How do I feel?
Honestly, as free beta tester for Google that's how.
I'm not even considering updating to stock KK, yet. Would rather move to some fine working custom ROM like Carbon (need to check first if VPN is working) or CM.
- It used to be, flash stock, one-touch root and voila.
- Now, it's TA backup, BL unlock/relock, flash, recovery, flash, flash, tweak this, mod that, xposed, gpu render, battery drain, oh lag, oh camera is slower, oh more emoticons, OH COME ON!!
I know it's not Sony fault but those hipsters from Google.
With killing external SD support, at the end and in the future, it smells that stock Android will work flawlessly ONLY on Google hardware. That's a pure BS.

You mean Mobiles with no SD card*

Yeah, basically all Nexuses, mob/tab. Good read here
I think it helps to keep product life cycle short. The Apple philosophy.

Okay, after a few days use I'm getting major lag when unlocking the phone. When I input my pattern, the phone responds with the vibrations like 3 seconds later, and THEN it unlocks. After that it's completely fine, and feels a lot snappier than 4.2.2. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Mine is great here
I have pattern and unlock it is very fast. no lag at all.

My phone 5502 is working flawlessly. No lag and no battery drain. didn't want to root so i don't risk loosing my apps and data. i upgrade directly by flashing an ftf file over 4.3 with flashtool and no wipe.

[MOD] Without ROOT get rid of LAG on L90

Hey everyone I thought I would share that this mod from the G3 thread also works for the L90's on STOCK ROM.
I take no credit for this mod.
This was copied and paste instructions.
Credit goes here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...rect)|utmcmd=(none)&__utmv=-&__utmk=235441282
If you are experiencing some of annoying LAG on your G3,here is how to get LAG away (works with my G3) :
1. Enter the following based on your device model:
3845#*415# (for T-Mobile)
[Just replace 415 with your model number]
!!! Verizon- don't know,because when you enter model number of these two carriers nothing happens. Someone could check this out and tell me !!!
2. Scroll down to High Temperature Property OFF,and select
3. Turn it ON...
4. Turn G3 fully off...
5. Wait at least 10sec...
6. Turn it back on and wait about 30sec. when Screen Lock shows...
!!! NEW ADDON !!! For more speed... Tested by me for 14 days... Everything went excellent! Follow these steps after you have done those above...
1. Again enter hidden menu according to your device model number
2. Select Thermal Daemon Mitigation OFF
3. Turn it ON
4. Turn OFF your G3.
5. Wait for around 30sec
6. Turn it on and after lock screen appears unlock it
7. Wait for at least 60sec more for G3 to finish sync and stuff
8. BOOM much more fluid and much faster G3
... BUT... Now that you have activated Thermal DAE you display will not lower screen brightness anymore. So if you put it to 90% it will stay 90%,if you put it to 100% it will stay there (be caution at 100%,test it)... I put mine to 80-90%,and never had G3 hot or misbehave strangely while playing games,recording 4k video,shooting pictures... Just one thing I noticed... IT IS BLAZING FAST Also you can test it after Clean Master clean up like by Antutu and see test results.
LAG-FREE G3
And of course you can buy me a BEER,Heineken
"NOTE" I am not responsible for any damage made to your phone!
P.S This is the same problem as on G2

I have been running the mod in my link for over a week now and my phone Flys. No issues so far I also turned off the thermal throttles and there has been no issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741189

So here is a ss of a benchmark mostly stock with those tweaks and mod Does require root, but it's quite easy to do on this phone now if you want to

Anyone tried? And what's the risc?

It works. The only risk is that you won't have those features enabled, which are bothersome to a lot of people here anyways.

But when he says "can't lower screen brightness anymore" does he mean like you can never change it? Or that when the phone would overheat that the screen brightness won't automatically go down?

Yes it removes the thermal safeguards so you have to watch it

Androidguy, you were a bit unclear. Where do I need to type what you said?

4.4.4. heating up and freezing, oh the irony

I updated to official german 4.4.4 and today with heavy use like gps and 4g i had some heating and phone froze 3 times in 10 minutes, then touchwiz stopped working. Not realy impressed with this new rom, anyone else having problems?

The only disappointig that am having with this 4.4.4 is the old thouchwiz!! Try to wipe data and factory reset! Or root our phone and install Grennify to kill running apps!

i did, i will see how it works now

I have been using this for a time now...
And had no problems with it.... even with Power Saving Mode all on... (yes i never use the full 1400mhz, so 1000 is enough for my PSX games)
My only complain is that the baseband is mostly bad for my country as the signal is a little low than usual.....

I am using 4.4.4 Stock Rom (flashed using Odin)

No problems at all both before and after rooting it
(earlier I had battery draining problems with 4.3. This Rom fixed them) :good:
