Hi! I have a problem with my Xperia SP. I updated it 2 times (i had to hard reset few times) to 4.3. I have a strange problem - my screen flickers about 1 flicker per second (or 2 sometimes). I tries disabeling HW, hard resetting etc. etc. Everything workes fine on 4.1.2. Is there any solution?

I have the same issue. This bug is also present in CM11. Someone on this forum told me previously that it is caused by the auto-brightness, but turning it off does not fix the issue (the backlight still pulsates, but less noticeably so).
So far I've had this issue with stock 4.3, CM11 and Vanir. Would be great if someone found a fix for this. It is also unforgivable that Sony would release their 4.3 update without doing anything about this issue! I would have happily waited a bit longer for it to be released The pulsating backlight is the only reason why I'm not using CM11...

same problem... :S i got my xperia sp yesterday and the first thing i did was root and update to 4.3 custom rom.. and i notice that flicker everywhere(games,ui,images).. it flickers even in cwm recovery and cause of that i thought it was hardware problem.. then i roll back to 4.1.2 and problem gone.. i think its something about gpu drivers
One solution...
follow steps....
1. Select any stock wallpaper
2. Hit home button for 5 - 8 times
3. then the prob solved...!!!!!
OR
1. select wallpaper using google + wallpaper tool ( its in wallpaper selection)
2. hit home button for 5 - 8 times
3. Prob solved ( but the resolution of wallpaper changed )
Hit one time thanks if I helped you.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Experiencing same issues on my XSP C5303 UK Unbranded w/ CE .266 4.3 C5303 firmware flashed, UBL, NO Root

I installed 4.3 12.1.A.1.201 this morning and I experience this flickering too. It's exactly like in the following video:
Also it seems the screen isn't aligned that well, because there is a black bar of about 2 pixels at the top. I noticed this because I saw rounded corners at the top, but not at the bottom. I never noticed there being a 1 or 2 pixel border ont top in 4.1.2.

The above method didn't work for me, however I could be doing it wrong as I am not very clear on what you mean by "select any stock wallpaper".

Hello guys...
well... this is will be my first flash using android tools ((from symbian i'm quite used to it)).... this is my second android ((today I own a Xperia Z1 and before a Motorola Razr i, which i never flashed))...
and I have some questions regarding this flashing procedure.... some one mind just clarify me around some doubts ??
1 - after I flashed my mobile and if I regret, can i reinstall the flash the sony fw in the same way? i mean, download it from sonymobile.com and flash it? is this works?
2- these custom roms to Z1 ((cyanogem, miui, and so on)) are the pure android with sony drivers OR are they the same from sony but modified? I'm asking this because i like ((and use so much)) the sony features like stamina, throw, screen mirroring ((I use this one a lot to play on my tv))... If these ""sony features"" doesn't come ""out of box"" when I flash a custom rom, can i install them later?? I never saw any video showing these stuffs or any at all...
3- these custom roms can I enable and disable animations and other things to enhance my phone?? because with my previous phone ((Motorola Razr i)) i was able to do this and much more, and this save battery a lot... can I do this?? if yes, mind to attach a screenshot to show what can do? I was reading many other forums ((including from sonymobile) and even there they complain about drain battery and random freezes, just like I'm having these days....
4 - Ok... i read a lot but I couldn't understand exactly what is TWRP.... mind to explain as if i 6yo?? =)
5 - Is it normal to screen not shows up when I press the power button to ""wake up"" the screen?? I mean... sometimes i want to check my phone, and when I press the Power button the screen just freezes in black, not showing anything .... and just show something after some seconds ((ten or more)) or after i press the Power button for some seconds as if i want to shut it down.... this happens more ""often"" if i press the Power button to lock and after 2, 3 seconds i have the need to use the phone again ((which this never happen with my Razr i))...
6 - my phone heats a lot.... i mean.... a really lot.... is that normal?? i was reading about this and many other z1 owners complains from this same thing...
thanks in advance =)
1. Yes
2. If you install cyanogen or other AOSP roms, you need to unlock bootloader. also you will loose stamina mode and other sony features. i dont think you can get them back, look around in other sections.
3. It could. Honestly, my z1 hasn't frozen on me ever. I am on stock rooted 761 fw. If you want to disable animations go to developer options and disable the animations there, you can do it both in stock sony and aosp.
4. Twrp is a recovery, you need it to flash roms and do backups of your phone. Team win recovery project.
5. I do not know if its normal as my z1 is very responsive, no delay in screen opening time even when i underclocked the cpu to 1.7Ghz
6. Yes it does tend to heat up after prolonged gaming etc. You can lessen it by underclocking. It works trust me

minor questions regarding your answer...
#3 - mine z1 freezes everyday... and i dont have too many apps installed... just a few.... for real... like 20 apps... only 2 games...
#4 - ok... finally i got it =)
#5 - mind to make a test with your own? press the power button normally, as if you gonna lay it down... then, after 2 or 3 seconds, press again the power button, as if you wish to check the hours or a message.... try this at least 5 times if you dont mind..... so... it worked all the times flawlessly?
#6 - nope.... even if im not using it.... not doing anything at all...

#3 - maybe the RAM is cluttered?
#5 - I did it around 8 times. Turned off the display, waited for 2-5 seconds then turned it on. Works flawlessly. No lag. My device is even underclocked when it is in sleep or display off. When the display is off, i set it to run between 300 - 900something Mhz because I found that the device could still respond without any lag with that setting when turning the display on. When the display is on its 300Mhz to 1.7Ghz.
#6 - maybe have it checked at a sony center.

#3 just keep clearing it manually. if you ate rooted install xposed fw and recent apps cleaner for it to be faster. closes all apps in one click
You can underclock in stock rom, just need root access.

ok... i will try it then.... i have "advanced task killer" and "clean master" running together ... i always clean the memory.. the ATK is set to clean every time i press the power button to lock the screen... and, even doing this, my phone keeps freezing all the time... i dont know, but maybe after you rooted the phone, you could enable/disable any options were enhance the phone... no?
well... i will try to install any custom rom to check it and see if i enjoy any of them.... any recommendation for a custom rom? cyanogem? miui? iHacker? DooMLord?
I havent done anything to my phone but root it and underclock + xposed but only modules for camera and cosmetics of the ui. Its your pick. I use stock 761. Just stock + root.

Hello i searched the forum but i didn't find any solutions, so please help me. My phone started to self touching the screen it opens applications,settings,alarm,and clock. When i receive a call it rejects it alone and send the standard rejecting messages.I turn off the screen, wait 2-3 second and then works fine. I removed the display film, cleaned the screen but for nothing. The problem persist. I have stock android 4.4.4 . I think the digitizer sensibility is to high...please help me...

Do you have the problem in other ROMs?
TapaTalked from my MultiROM Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns OR PAC MAN ROM!
I didn' t try yet to install custom roms, but i don't understand why this problem...:crying:
A friend of mine has that on his z1,searched a little over there and the z1 has that hardware bug,and he needs to sent it to get repaired,hope thats not the case for you
You should either try a factory reset, or reflash your current ROM. If the problem persists, it could be due to a faulty hardware (got wet?).
Maybe try another screen-protector? Had a similar issue with my Defy - without screen-protector it was hardly usable (too sensitive).
Rein haun,
David
I restored factory settings but still the problem. It started from 4.4.3 and persisted after official update 4.4.4 . Didn t get wet, only sweat from hands...i read about modifying touchsreen sensivity on a custom rom file...on z ultra...maybe will work for me to.

Hi, any solution? I ve got the same problem with ghost touchpad on my XZ After screen replacment
Same here with xperia zl...
Hey Xda'ers, I have this weird (and really frustrating ) problem with my Xperia Z, when it enters Deep Sleep mode, sometimes it won't come back (won't turn on the screen & wake up.) I keep tapping the status bar (got CM11 Nightly & tap to wake option enabled) and hitting the power button to wake up, but it never does, then it just reboots.
The only workaround i've found it's to implement a partial wakelock so the cpu keeps running even if the screen is off, but thats eating my battery away. I Bought the phone a month ago and since its arrive, has this problem, i know it's a software problem cause if it wasn't, then there would be no workaround like the cpu kept running all the time (or at least my noob brain figures that out ). it's been really frustrating. the most frustrating part is not finding ANYWHERE on the internet (not even here on XDA) any resemblance to the same problem im facing, they are all different kinds of rebooting problems, but not even one the same as mine, it means my problem it's really new or special, or i'm not looking up really well, anyways it's been so frustrating for me this month, cause i repeat, since it arrived it has this problem.
First i thought it was a Wifi Problem, cause it happens when i get a notification meanwhile is asleep (i've seen it happen more often but it happens with or without a notification too.) and the screen off; When i try to wake up to see the notification, the problem triggers and it wont wake up, so i installed "Advanced Wifi Lock" (I saw a thread with a similar problem but with an Xperia Pad of some girl on the Sony Mobile Forums, and one guy posted this solution as the only workaround he had found to the same problem.) and the problem was solved.
But then i realized that it was eating my battery, so i changed to "Wakelock Power Manager" (cause i read it was a lighter weigh solution than "Advanced WiFi Lock") and there, there is this option for the implementation of various degrees of wake lock, since i thought it was a wifi problem, i turned on the "WiFI_Mode_Hi_Perf" which is a wakelock that keeps the wifi running in a high performance mode even while in deep sleep, i thought this was a lighter solution to my problem, but then the deep sleep reboot problem started again :crying:. so i tried increasing the level of wakelock to a "Partial_Wake_Lock" which is a wakelock that keeps the CPU running even while the screen is off, but this wakelock won't let the phone enter in a deepsleep mode, so it's the "Advanced Wifi Lock" problem all over again. Battery Drain . And this pisses me off, cause my battery, that should have a more than 14 life hours, just have those with a 4-5 hours of screen on time with a mild use of whatsapp and facebook.
I don't know what to do, i've tried flashing other Stock Firmwares, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, reflashing the original (was a 4.1 "10.1.1.a.1.307 customized hk"),, rooting and flashing roms, and the problem persists. I left CM11 on cause i like it and i don't think it has anything to do with the rom or firmware cause i've tried so many already.
Finally, over a month of trials and reading and so, so, so, but SO much frustration, i come to you guys, i don't know what to do anymore, Please Help .
Just bumping with some screenshots with details about my phone, i guess it will be easier to solve the problem, if posible, somehow. Muy Xperia Z is a 6603 model btw.
Note: I set the minimun CPU frecuency to 486 because i had the weird "buzz" sound problem sometimes with whatsapp & messenger notifications, & found that solution here over the forums, anyways, the problem was there way before that change.
I ask for some help again developers, i didn't wanted to start a help thread before i did my research & exhausted all my options, but i've done everything i could, & still got no solution, hope the screenshots help .

I had the same thing, and mine was fixed with increasing my minimum CPU speed to 384. Runs like a dream now!
I know you'v said you've tried a whole load of different roms but have you tried any different kernels? Mine seemed to come up only when using certain kernels.
i had the CPU running on 384 since i bought it, i only recently changed cause of the buzz problem, & no, i haven't tried different kernels, only different roms, i don't know how to flash a kernel only.
What kernel do you have? & Just to be sure, you had the same rebooting problem when it went to deep sleep mode right?
Thanks for answering.

I haven't got a solution but get the same problem on the stock 4.4.2 kernel, intermittently between once a day and every other day, so I can live with it. As I recall the problem was more frequent until I got rid of a legacy app which put the phone to sleep when I shut the case, and was supposed to wake it up when the case was opened (which didn't always happen and about half the time I couldn't wake the screen with the on-button either, only reboot). It was a battery hog too. Running the CPU faster (up to 904??) didn't help, though.

With once a day or every other day i could live with it too, i guess it's worth to let the phone deep sleep and save more battery even tho it reboots once a day or sometimes none, the battery saving should be greater than the annoyance, i hope mine was like that, but as soon as i release the cpu wakelock & let the cpu get into deep sleep, the problem begins, i get like 10 reboots in a day, and if only the reboots just happened when i weren't looking, but no, they barely happen this way, it happens when i try to use it and i notice it won't wake up, it's a really weird problem, & i find it very weird that no one has it. (you two guys are the first that i know have this kind of problem, and still, it's slightly different, for the number of reboots at least.) although it's good to know finally someone has the same issues as me, though i don't have high hopes since you told me you haven't found a solution.
I wanna try flashing a different kernel as orangejuice43 said, but i don't know how, or any compatibility issues with the rom i have (CM11 Nightly), sides, i don't know which kernel would be good to try.
Thanks for answering!
Flashed succesfully "Lightning Kernel v. 8.0" for CM11, will test for a few hours or days hopefully, if reboot comes i'll notify you guys, so far this is the first "new" solution i try.
After less than two hours of flashing the "Lightning v. 8.0" Kernel and the partial wakelock off, the reboot problem happened again, no solution yet, and have the wakelock up again.
Anyone having the same issues? anyone with another suggestions or fixes? bummed down here .

That's a shame, I'm using lighning v8 and my problem is sorted. Sorry I can't be of much more help... lets hope a more knowledgeable person may be able to contribute for you.
Have you got an app like Trickster MOD installed to control the Kernel etc? might give you more of an insight as to what's going on. If you set a governor that keeps your Z from going into deep sleep it may be a bit better for your battery life than the wakelock solution...
This might help for information about Kernels
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-kernel-governors-modules-o-t1369817
Sorry for the late reply, i was on a trip so i couldn't actually test & give any feedback.
I downloaded Trickster Mod for my lightning kernel but all i could understand (after reading the post orange kindly shared.) was that every governor has this different settings that mod the cpu functionality & can be picked to adapt your own needs, i really doubt that any of them help with my problem, but as orange suggested, one may be a better choice compared to the wakelock fix i have used lately. i learned that since i flashed the lightning kernel, my governor was Interactive all this time, i really didn't noticed any battery drain or saving, i felt it just the about the same as before with the stock CM11 kernel.
a new question is, which kernel has the option or the setting for keeping the cpu awake? cause i didn't read any of them did this, or at least i didn't understood that any of them did this. anyways, that would be only another work around for the deep sleep reboot problem.
I though, read something interesting about frequencies and voltage of the cpu on the Thread, this:
Q. "Well i have set my favorite governor as screen-on governor and another one as screen-off governor. Why the hell is the phone not waking up after deep sleep. I need to force-restart the phone by pressing power button for about 10 secs. Is it a sleep-of-death?"
A. Yes it is. Do not use two governors as screen-on & screen-off govs, if they both have an upper frequency limit for screen-off state.
Didn't get it? Examples for Wrong combinations: (screen-on:screen-off):-
ondemandX:smartassV2
Examples for right combinations:-
ondemand:smartassV2, lulzactive:smartassV2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Question resembles just exactly what my problem is, my phone enters into deep sleep and then it won't wake up, the only difference is that i don't have to force restart it, it just. when i try to wake it up, restarts itself, with no need of long pressing the power button, and sometimes, i just find that the phone is off, and then i do have to start it by long pressing the power button (plain old power on.), but that brings me another question, isn't that maybe the problem is on the frequency & voltage side of my CPU? maybe the stock kernel (not CM11, and for the matter CM11 too, cause the problem persists, even with lightning kernel...) came with a rare code line or something? i dunno, im just wondering, maybe it doesn't make sense, but its just that the question and problem stated there on the thread about governors and kernel settings, resembles very much what my problem is.
I hope someone can orient me about this or make a mental link with something (maybe) wrong about my kernel or phone, could it be hardware? :crying: . I don't know, maybe i should try another kernel? maybe i should go back to Stock ftf and try another kernel? any suggestions or long shots are apreciated.
Thanks for the replies, & sorry for all the descriptions and text, it maybe kind of boring -_-.
Adding another detail that i may have not mentioned, the problem NEVER happens while plugged in, (don't know if phone has a setting preventing deep sleep while plugged in, if it does, that may be the cause )
Update: just flashed AOKP ROM (jellybean 4.3 version) will test for a few hours or mins till the problem arises again... (lost all my Xposed modules & settings :crying: .)
Update 2: After less than 2 hours again, around the 1:30-1:45 hours time, reboot problem happened. getting sick of trying...
Update 3: Just flashed AOKP ROM (Kitkat 4.4 version). less than 15 min into the flash, reboot happened... help...
will flash Paranoid Android 4.4 Later.
Update 4: Flashed Paranoid Android 4.4, nearly 2 hours of deep sleep and 2:14 hours of total on time, reboot occured, was getting high hopes about this ROM, but as i said on my first post, i don't think it has anything to do with the ROM- Side note: PA is really cool, im sticking with it. and hoping anyone still answers with some fix or advice. thanks for reading.

That sounds good cause the problem only happens when the phone is unplugged, but then again, what does it have to do with the CPU lock? the problem solves when i have a wakelock for the CPU, if the battery was damaged, probably it wont matter if the CPU is on or in deep sleep, it would just reboot randomly still, but that has never happened.
tldr: But CPU wakelock solves the rebooting problem, doesn't make sense.

There is nothing called *CPU lock* wake lock is not preventing the phone from waking up.
Wake lock is the apps which wake the phone from the deep sleep mode. Like WhatsApp. When you get a message the phone will wake up from deep sleep.
You cannot lock the CPU.
Anyway. Your primary problem seems with the battery because many people reporting while they unplug the phone it will reboot or turn off. So changing the battery may help.

Yes i understand that's what "wakelock" means, what i meant, it's that i have this app called Wakelock Power Manager, and in that app, i got this "Partial_Wake_Lock" on, & that's the only way around i could find for the problem, on the description of this option it says "Ensures the CPU is running even if screen is off." so that's what i meant when i said i had a CPU lock or wakelock, sorry if i didn't made myself understand.
regarding your suggestion, i don't know, i don't wanna spend more money on a "maybe" solution, i've already spent quite a lot buying this phone, and had a bad experience trying other common solutions as replacing the sim card with a new one, didn't solved anything. i would like to be sure that is the problem before spending more bucks on this.
Thanks for the reply.

Well yeah that's right. I suggest you to wait for others. I may be wrong.

Just a thought: are you sure it's not a misbehaving app? I'd start with the obvious suspects, those that run in the background or make regular checks, and find tb's freeze facility invaluable; not least your Wakelock monitor, perhaps!

About the misbehaving app, i really don't think so, as i said in my first post, the problem was already there 1 hour after unboxing, it could be a stock app, but im not sure how to 'find' it. and about the rest, sorry but i didn't understood could you be more clear (noobier) please? ha, thanks in advance!

If you are saying after 1 hour of unboxing so I think you need to talk with the seller. Maybe you will get another Z.

As the title suggests, how is your experience with the latest firmware? What have been improved. Which are the downsides. At the end of the Day, is it worth updating, or better wait?
TL;DR
Update definitely recommended. No camera issues anymore, faster operating speed, only sporadic misfunction of SD card. Fixed by reinserting it/restart.
I'll definitely recommend anyone to update, so far I'm genuinely happy with the update. No more annoying camera failures, much faster operating speed and Android 5 sweetness. It always blows my mind how pressing the camera button actually works as a shortcut for opening the camera now, takes about 1 sec to open and snap! Picture taken. Only problem I've encountered so far is that sometimes the OS somehow loses write privileges for the SD card, leading to apps like play music not to work properly, dunno how apps that are saved on the SD card react to this, weirdly, file managers like total Commander can still read the card but no more write privileges. Solution is to eject SD card and putting it back in, a restart works, too. I'll have to look further into that bug tho.

I have issues with the Cache. When I look at the recent Tab I have Maybe 10 Apps here. The Cache is full and all this slow down the Xperia. The icon don't load anymore. Then I must close all Apps and it runs normal. Under KitKat no problems like this...

Try factory reset...for me no issue...what I did after upgrade to any latest firmware I will factory reset the device eventhough I lost all the data but I'm willing to reinstall all over again.Tedious but in the end paid off.

That was the first thing I have make after flashing...
I have Lollipop for over a week now. Installed a pre rooted firmware to get 120 fps, 4K, face in camera, smart call handling, smart backlight and all the goodies. Before installing any of these, I wiped all caches. The battery drainage is greater, at least for me, now. Phone isn't lagging at all. Camera is indeed fast. My main issue is the battery life that has worsened.
Apart from that I would say go on and update.

This is the thread I used. It requires a rooted kitkat rom.
After that check for 120 fps and 4k for Z1 lollipop and the other stuff.
I think it's all located in Xperia Z1 themes and apps.
Follow the instructions in each thread and everything should go fine.
Done everything in one take with no bricks or bootloops whatsoever.
What about overheating? Has this been controlled. Also, what do you think about the camera, especialy in low light conditions? Have been improved?

The low light camera is the same to me
For the over heating, the only way I "fixed" it was to use pimp my z1 app, set GPU governor to power save. It will seldom overheat while playing games

Bluetooth finally fixed. No more stuttering on Aptt-X devices, no more having to turn Bluetooth off and on again when connecting headphones. :good:

If am correct, the powersave governor, locks the processor to its lowest clock speed. So have you noticed any impact on framerates??
Xperia z1 c6906 LOLLIPOP Battery Drain
I have updated my Xperia z1 C6906 to android 5.0 rooted however the battery life has worsened. Android OS is using around 50-55% of the battery with "Mobile Radio Active" using the battery most of the time for each of the apps. Is there a solution for this since battery life is more important to me rather than being on lollipop.
