[Q] Can I fix issues by using Custom Roms? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i have wifi problems like; droping from my router and bad connectivity
And battery drains fast (even in 4.3)
Can I fix these by using custom roms or is there different any solutions?
If these problems are not normal i will going to send my device to service

No body can tell. maybe someone had improvements flashing Custom Roms but is not tha same for everybody. You have to try them by your self and see if you get rid of issues, improvements exc.. Also the Roms are very different so you have to see if it suite your needs.

No, you didn't get the point... My point is:
I have bugs which nearly happens to everyone, so I think these bugs that I telled can be Sony's bugs. And i think I can remove those bugs by using another kernel or custom rom.

They do not happen to everyone.
Why don't you just try it and see... you can answer your own question by trying it...

Revert to stock with no apps and no extras installed, make sure you're on the proper FTF / Rom for your region, rooted or not.
Leave it with the bare minimum installed, test it to see how things go, it's impossible to say exactly what's going on with your phone as there are a lot of variables to take into account.
Here's some:
Your apps, your mods, your router, the people using the router, your ISP, your phone itself, your sim card, your environment, distance of router. cables.
Unless you can eliminate all of these things besides the phone itself you'll never know for sure exactly whats causing the issue.
Return to stock 4.4.2 v757 and leave it with nothing on there, not even your google account, turn off your router, check all cabling, turn it back on from the wall socket all the way back to the unit, make sure nothing else is connected, then try to use your wifi, test it with another mobile device too.
If you still have problems then it's more than likely your phone, in which case you should get a new one.
Hope this helps.

I will try it, thanks :thumbup:
But as you know, wifi issue on xperias are seen everywere. I beleive wifi problem is depends on software or hardware.
And, my usage of phone is pretty normal and i am just have few games and programes. They're selling this device, and am i musn't have apps to have good battery life!?
And, why kitkat? Everybody is saying 136 is much better than 757

No m8 that's nonsense, 757 is the best version by far, ask any dev and they'll tell you the same, 136 was a decent version but 757 at least for me and many others which i've been told too.
Wifi problems could be down to so many factors m8 which is why you need to get a bit anal with things to find the culprit.
If sending it back is a possibility without too much fuss then don't suffer for a problem that isn't your fault, just get it swapped.
Click thanks by the way dude

761 is region specific afaik, so no need unless your region requires it, i think it's from china or somewhere. Majority of regions are still on 757

Am i must use my own country's 757? This will effect something when compared to the other country's firmwares?
Note: I bought this phone from China but i am living in Turkey. Which one i will going to use?

HELP! Weirdest problem with Mobile Data

Hi guys!
So I have this weird issue ever since I updated to Jelly Bean.
Everything works fine after JB update, except my mobile data. I can now only get about 152kbps speed on 3g covered areas where everyone else gets 5Mbps.
I have tried a bunch of things, including flashing the JB radio firmware with the tool posted on the dev section... all to no avail. This is really bugging me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI: I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader, and have flashed the FR Orange JB update.

Other people on here may know a lot more than I do on this, but there are really only two elements to this in my understanding: device capability and network offering. The middle-point is of course, reception. If you don't get those speeds, it's likely reception. Many of us on here, who like modding, imagine the most difficult option as being the problem, I'd wager that it's the simplest... (I mean that sincerely, I'm not mocking!)

Nope, but thanks for the suggestion. I've already made sure it's not reception or anything physical either. I've tried the three radio firmwares provided in the forums (C7, C9, JB) and nothing.
I think the most plausible thing is that I flashed JB from France when I'm in Mexico.... If only I could find the files from another country and flash them to check this possibility... but I just can't find the link.
Edit: I just flashed the EU retail version and that did not fix my problem. I'm despairing now :'(
Have you emailed Motorola? I have twice and they reply very quickly.

I did and also I ruled out every software and hardware issue. Finally today I resolved to calling my provider (I had avoided this because most often their service is very crappy and the reps don't know squat about what they are talking)....
....
... Turns out that for some stupid reason they had restricted my data. So I guess that's it, and now i feel stypid too hahaha

New Xperia Z user...

Coming from the hd2, galaxy 2, 3, Note 1 and 2, HTC one x, iPhone 4s.....
Been using the Xperia z for about a week now and would like a little help.
The phone is on 4.1.2, 101.A.1.434
An unlocked UK model.
I see a lot of people mentioning battery life, and yes mine drops extremely quickly to 50%, And then The battery drainage seams to improve slightly, question is, will there be an update that improves this?
Also my WiFi is pretty poor, never had a phone work such a low range, can this be improved at all?
I can't seem to get a decent shot from the camera, auto focus seems a bit random, perhaps I should try another camera app.
Overall love the speed and clarity of the screen, feels nice and light in my pocket, not tested the waterproofing yet, hope someone can help please
Use the latest FW for a week then ask again.
From me to you.
Turn off,dial pad sound,keyboard vibration,sound.
Location off,google now off.
Brightness at 50% .
The battery will be better

There is no update, well there isn't when I check via the phone, so I guess I'm on the latest, will try turning of the things you mention thanks

307 is the latest and those things were resolved for some in 253, which came after 434.
From me to you.
Ok, do I need to be logged into Sony or something on the phone, just Its stating my phone is up top date, yet it's on 434. Confused

Use a ftf or wait for your carrier to release the update.

its an unbranded phone the update hasn't been released for it, they are on about manually flashing the latest version using flashtool and the ftf file
This flashtool is all new to me, on the old galaxies, it was Odin, need to read this forums a bit more, I think

I think its different for all the manufacturers, so yes a bit more reading won't go a miss. If I knew I was getting a Samsung or HTC I'd be doing my reading before I got it as to to have some idea of what's required to flash and restore.
From me to you.

[Q] phone internet speed question

I am trying to see if maybe its my phone radio or wifi antenna is not working correctly. I flashed the latest radio and doesn't seem to be helping either. on 4glte I am getting 1.44mbs for download.and on my wifi I am getting 3.61mbs for download. I have nothing else connected to my wifi. Wondering if maybe I should Ruu my phone and take it into best buy and have them look at it or give me a new one.

Do u have another device that is able to test the 4G or WiFi? Did u update profile and prl?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Yeah I was about to ask the same thing.
Also, have you just done a straight stock flash, then update PRL? None of that should effect your WiFi though, I would test with another device..
Yes I have tested a computer, iPhone, and ipad and all get iver 20mbs+ on same wifi. Thats why I am wondering if it's my phone.

It quite possibly is, that is very odd.
Have you gone 100% stock, then tried it? (you have modded the phone somewhat if you are flashing a radio)
Haven't done a ruu yet.

I would RUU 100% latest stock.
Then do a speed test with WiFi. If you get the same speed, return the device for a new one.
Alright sounds good. Cause I have trued a couple of different roms and get about the same speed. Cause someone told me it might have been a rom and since it's not I figured I would asks others.

At this point it could be ROM, Radio, or Hardware.
Best way to make sure is Stock RUU.

Try setting the WiFi frequency to 2.4 or 5 instead of auto

Agreed. This way, you get a baseline reading with the phone, with it operating "as it should" with the stock ROM and settings. If it doesn't work stock, then you are going to have a hell of a time trying to get it to work any other way, if at all.
Alright I ruu back. The one wifi speed is the same. and on my other router it is faster.

I checked and Gomdolight is for Korean version (f340 I think), are you sure you can?
(in the thread of Gomdolight, 1 guy was successfully installed, but he said nothing different, hhope he did not mean about wifi)
Could you report your try here?
Thanks in advance
Yes, I did as well and came to the same conclusion as the Dev did regarding the post stating no real changes noticeable. I plan to pm that member later on to see if he has any more feedback/advice before I commit. From what I gather the more modded features involve Korean based apps and such so for a D950 user not to notice is not surprise. I should know more tomorrow evening weather or not it is effective or not. Would do it sooner but I need to stay connected today so..... I'll keep you posted.
For me, the wifi strength is important. The rom itself does not matter.
Anyway, waiting for your post
==== edit =====
I had some time to check Gomdolight. Actually it is not a ROM, but a Modifier (remove system apps)
I don't think they change something for wifi-driver, which I believe is the problem for the weak wifi.
but just let me know how it is improved with your Gflex
thanks

Hey,my apologies to all who were waiting on the results of my attempted flash of the Gomdolite firmware mod. I'm sorry to report that although it installed successfully( albiet in a limited capacity due to variant and build discrepancies), it did not resolve my wifi woes.I will continue running Gomdolite despite that fact. Off topic and my apologies in advance, but it has improved my devices overall speed and fluidity. Hope someone has a solution soon...Btw, since my D950 doesn't have to function as my primary phone as of yesterday, (returned to Samsung, Note4) I am willing to Guinea pig for the common good of finding a resolution to our issues.Let me know if you got anything to test.

Network issue, click noise when opening an app and screen flicker with new rom

So i rooted my new nexus 6 and installed chroma rom. every thing was fine till i noticed a small part of the screen flicker. it was like a black line coming and going as soon as i took it off charging it was fine. this was after i installed the rom there was nothing like this on the stock one. also when i open the camera app i can hear a small click/ crackle sound. this happened in the stock rom too but with the snapchat app. its irritating and i cant find a fix anywhere. and lastly whats with the network issue? it suddenly comes and goes. i checked it and it showe 0dbm and 99 asu?is this common? tried to find a fix but all i got was lots of unanswered threads. as being a student who need to use this phone for a long time can anyone tell me if all this is fixable ? or do i need to get a replacement as im still in my 30 day return period. thanks in advance and sorry if all this issues are already in a post and have fixes just post me the link as i could find it
being a student who needs the use of the phone for long periods of time.. what are you foing moddifying your device. no custom rom will be bug free. even though whtyever bugs dont bother me, they seem to bug you. why dont you just stay stock with root if those issues are bugging you.

I know no roms are bug free, just wanted to know if these are common software issue and not a bad device that i got. And on the other hand i used my s3 for 2.5-3 yrs with custom roms and stuff simply as i enjoy running them and seeing all the amazing stuff people can do with skill that was the main reason i got a nexus
