[Q] Home restarting problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before update to kitkat, I never had this problem.
But since updated I face the problem that when I press home the launcher keep restating, like a famous issue that happen to Galaxy S3
The cause of this is RAM is run out of space. I tried limit numbers of apps but it is still happening. Factory reset isn't work either.
Has anyone faces this problem too ? and is there anyway to fix this ?

Flashtool and make a fresh install, but be sure to save all your data on Pc, or make a backup with recovery

Already done that. Still the same.

Have you flash your specific model baseband, with a official rom?
Can you post more info about your phone model, baseband, bootloader, etc?

Im experiencing the same problem all the time... I just taught it was because i have tons of root stuff and Xposed modules and such... I havent done reset due im waiting for Lollipop, but yeah good that im not the only one !

Facing same problem and feels like that since installing a lot of stuff, and perhaps exposed too

It's a very usual behaviour from Android, because LMK too high or you use too much RAM for Foreground Apps.
To fix that, you have 2 ways:
1. Change OOM Priority via service.jar or change LMK
or
2. Using Xposed Framework, install App Settings and choose Home and tick Resident, save
Hope it's help you

Done, seems ok now, ill report if it starts restarting again !

I'll give his a try too, looks good

has been working for over a week now ! thank you !

Are there any bad side effects, of using xposed app settings module to keep these things resident in ram?

Yeah, if your home crashed you will always have a blank screen, you must force close it or replace to another launcher app or deactive Xposed Framework

[Q] New 4.3 Android os keeping phone awake

Hi, if anyone could help me it'd be much appreciated i have tried two different roms running the new 4.3 sony firmware but in both cases my phone seems to stay awake with android os being at the top of the battery drain list. for some reason or the other i is not allowing the phone to sleep, i believe it may be kernel related but am unsure. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone know of a way to fix this. any help would be much appreciated

Thank you for your quick response but that won't fix it as as far as I know I'm the only one having this problem on a freshly flashed fw with not even my Google account set up
I'm having the same problem.
At the moment it's on 57% of resources used. While the one below is only at 14%.
It's not all the time though... Some days it uses this much and other days it's just normal

Personally I would like to see something similar to what BetteryBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector show. On the main screen show Google Services, but when we click it for more information it would be nice to see a breakdown of exactly what service within Google Services is using up the CPU, battery, etc ,not only u have this issue even ur using google apps or not its still working on background .so, i disabled "Google Play Services", cleared the cache of all Google Related Apps, also Uninstalled All Google Related Apps, and it seems to solve the issue...:fingers-crossed:
Fasbook and Chrome drains the battery also really much. Delete all share apks and social engines with Titanium Backup or a root browser. Before I deleted some apks I don't had more than 3.5 hours Screen on time. Now every time 4+ hours. Once up to 5.5 hours.
Bloatware drains the Battery really much.
And yeah mtayabkk is right, Greenify some apps.

see i think that may be why im using a c6602 so
I have a similar problem, still trying to figure out what's causing it.
Conclusion
Ok guys ive drawn to a conclusion that the c6603 ftf file just does not go well with the c6602 model, maybe because of the radio of the c6603 model using LTE. But im not sure so if anyone with a c6602 phone wants 4.3 without battery drain youll just have to wait till sony releases it and someone makes an ftf of it
Never mind guys I reset back to 4.2.2 with ftf factory reset there flashed existence z then the stripped.ftf and now I seem to be getting no problem anyway thanks for all the suggestions

Missing a few mods in 4.3 I had on 4.1.2

I have just installed the rom [JB 4.3][UB&LB][9.2.A.0.295] Official Firmware - Rooted&Deodexed from the DaRk-L0rD
Im enjoying 4.3 there are just a few simple mods I used to have on my old rom I would like to know if they can work on 4.3
Mods:
1. Close all button on open apps
2. Additional sound setting for all volumes when you press the volume key, someone did a great mod that gave me all volumes when I pressed the setting key after volume up
3.Remove the mobile data is off notification everytime the phone starts or you turn the mobile data off
4. De-bloat zip I can run in CWM to remove all the bloatware, much easier than doing it all manually with a root app removed
5. Shrink the bottom navigation bar that has the home, back button and recent apps buttons on, I had got used to it being around 70%of that size!
Are any of those 5 available?
Pleased to see Sony seem to have fixed the Bluetooth volume problems they used to have I had replace some file to fix, I also replace the wifi driver which made a big difference to how far I could stay connected to the wifi at work, does the new rom need any tweaks like that or is the wifi strength good out the box?
Thank You
Use xposed framework (you must use xperia dedicated) with Gravity Box installed to get 1, 2 and 3. Or use Xperia Xposed along with Gravity Box to get awesome possibilities

Thank You, but you may as well have spoken French to me then, any chance you can possibly send me a few links to topics I should read that will help me understand what xposed frame, xperia xposed and gravity box are?
Thank You
I understand That was my first thought too.
Here are the links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 link to Xposed Framework thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48484642 link to a post with Xperia dedicated xposed framework app
After installing the app you must inject appropriate files (use first step inside the app) then reboot the phone and you can proceed to the next step - downloading the modules:
Gravity Box and Xperia Xposed can be downloaded directly from the Xposed Framework app in download section. After downloading and installing both you must enable them in "modules" section and reboot the phone. Then you can start modding the phone
Some of the mods require rebooting the phone but some of them applies instantly. I have modded almost everything in my phone - from the very top to the very bottom (literally from the status bar to the navbar )
Good luck!

Consider Android Tuner. To my opinion it makes a script dispensable, bcs it allows selecting all apps to remove in one go.

Thanks Peter Ill check it out now.
Also has anyone got any ideas what the best way to remove the "mobile data is disabled" notification?
I have tried using the ongoing notification blocker in GravityBox to block the OMA Client Provisioning which is what I thought would block it. But unfortunately is makes no difference
Thanks

Try force-closing the keyboard and re-opening again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, but you can give it a shot. Had the same problem with my xperia u when it was running honami moonwalker rom.

I run stock 4.3 rooted with no other mods and don't experience this, though I have removed most bloatware from the system. The ram is almost certainly the issue, our 4.3 has poor ram management-unfortunately not much can be done with stock kernel. Anyway as |>/\nte said force stop the keyboard and clear it's data and cache. If the issue still persists then remove bloatware from the system and any other un-required apps.

I had this same frustrating issue on 4.3 on almost all keyboards. I tried stock, swiftkey, swype. Ended up flashing a custom rom (kitkat) and it's gone.

(Bug report/question) Camera app unresponsive after installing xposed framework

hi guys, got a problem after installing just the xposed framework (no modules) when i open the stock camera app i seem to lose touch screen function. the volume button still works to take a picture but i cant select any option on screen. When the framework is uninstalled then the camera app works perfect.
ive downloaded other camera apps from the play store and they work fine but dont have the features of the stock one so would like to get it working.
any ideas whats wrong or how to fix this?
My phone is a rooted galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) on stock rom (4.4.2) if anymore info is needed then please just ask.
thanks for any help or info given
regards,
Gary.

System UI (or Launcher) keeps auto-restarting after a while

Is it only me or something wrong with LP? After upgrading to LP 5.0.2 (using Flashtool), System UI (or Launcher, or something else, I'm not pretty sure) just keeps auto-restarting after a while. The screen just becomes blank, moment later application icons show up. Applications seem to be reloaded (e.g. keyboard is loading for a moment before it shows up). It was working pretty nice before (KK).
Any help?
For the record, I'm using C6903 14.5.A.0.270 CE rooted, locked BL, odexed (original stock downloaded using XperiFirm). Also got xposed 3.0 alpha4 installed with following modules: Disable Desk Dock, Greenify
This is a bug on z1's lollipop
Best solution is to backup ur ta and unlock bl and install cm12.1

C'mon is there any way else? I dont really wanna unlock bl and install custom roms. I know some custom roms are really nice but i'd rather stick with stock
any help?
I have the same problem, doesnt happen on kitkat tho
Anyway, i dont expect it to be fixed, the z1 never been good at multitasking
I'm using Z1 (C6903 270 TW FTF) with del useless APP + Xposed Work fine NO issue
Because of high lowmemorykiller value, launcher and UI will restart frequently. You can try to flash init.d tweaks to adjust your lowmemorykiller value, and it will solve your problem.
Hi,
I suggest you trying at least a custom launcher with Lock In Memory feature. I was facing this issue and it was really becoming annoying, then I installed Xposed Module to do a small fix on Lollipop Memory leak (if you don't mind rooting it's a great option). And installed NOVA Launcher with hat feature.
All the best,

So u mean the xposed lollipop memory leak fix could solve the problem? but i heard that Z1 Lollipop stock already included this fix? mine already rooted and got xposed installed so I won't mind getting that fix if it solves my problem.

You're lucky then
@boydzethuong
1. For LMK> use 3C Toolbox from Play Store, set Android OOM at aggresive mode and enable set on boot (not init.d).
2. For launcher> use App Settings Beta, search it @ app Settings thread, used for Lollipo, not L 5.1.1
Enable resident for your current launcher and reboot.
memory leak has been fixed in 5.1. I'd wait it out til 5.1 is rolling out on the z1. can't take that much lunger 'til then. couple of weeks max (i hope)

OK, so to summarize, just like u guys I am having trouble with memory leak, which people said a fix had already been included in sony stocks BUT it didn't really fix the issue at all. correct? Then i'd go with: wait for 5.1
For those who are using xposed, yesterday I was about trying to uninstall xposed to see if I had any luck getting rid of the issue. However, I found a new version (v70) so I decided to flash it first then clear davik-cahce... and you know what... it seems to be working normally now. No lowmemorykill so far (yet?). Will pay a few more days see if it somehow solves the issue. You might wanna give it a try.
Cheers
