I have a very strange problem with my phone. Since i updated to Android L 5.0.2 ( today ) on my Xperia Z3 Compact the smart call handling feature stopped working. I tried turning it off and on a few times, i tried rebooting the device a few times still no luck. Does anybody have any idea why and how to fix this issue ? I can't find anything related to this problem...
The phone is complete stock. The bootloader is locked. I've never unlocked it. I used to have PhilZ custom recovery on KitKat and now i obviously don't (same goes for root) .
p.s. I must say Sony has done some great work on Android L. I can't understand why people complain so much about it on the forum. I like it better than KitKat.
The Solution
I found a fix.
What i did was :
1. Turn off the feature ( from Settings )
2. Restart the phone
3. Turn on the feature.
4.Restart the phone again.
Oh and I found 1 con of Android L. The battery usage is a bid dull. On Kitkat it showed the number off days passed after charging. Now it shows a graph with dates, so i guess you have to count the days by yourself which isn't that easy as it sounds and personaly i think it's a stupid idea.

Hi!
I've got my Xperia SP for about 6-7 months. Since the release of 4.3 i started to experience massive ammount of problems.
I've rooted my phone, and flashed it with the first possible ver. of offcicial Android 4.3 (Normally i should wait for my Carier to release the 4.3 with branding).
I was quite happy to have a new system etc.etc., but i decided to install Existenz ROM.....
After that, I realised few things:
My rear camera became extremely blurry and "Milky"
My phone started to overheat during simple things
I barely can open a message app, due to 1-2minutes lag in this app
The same thing happend to contacts (Only theese 2 apps)
Many of apps started to crash for no reason
My battery is a one big joke. It can discharge from 40-50% to 0 in less then hour of surfing the web
(The SMS and Contacts lag, doesn't affect only the offcial system apps, but every app, that allows you to reach contacts or SMS)
Also when i turned on my phone for the 1 time, i've got the information to wait for a power off button, then the big power off button appeared, i clicked it and the phone reset.
All theese things werent noticable at first (excluding the camera), but after some time, all of them are getting worst and worst.
I Flashed the original 4.3 system. Nothing.
I Repaired it with PC COMPANION.... Nothing.
Got no else idea... The service&guarantee i think is not possible for me :/
INFO FOR GEEKS:
MODEL - C5303
Android Ver. - 4.3
Kernel - 3.4.0-perf-ga1d7493 ([email protected]#1)
Comp. nr. - 12.1.A.1.201
Bootloader Unlocked - No (and cannot be unlocked)
Either repair with Sony Update Service or reflash stock ROM with my tutorial.
Those issues you mention are software issues and I did not encounter any one.
(But this is for Stock ROM)
About issues with ExistenZe... I've read some more issues.. Best is to wait for a fix from the developer...
You could also try a reinstall of that ROM
Hi!
When the stock 4.3 rom installed, my SP freezd and restarted like an old CGA monitor.
After I installed the eXistenZ Ultra 3.3.0, it stoped restarting, but started overheating.
It overheats only when its in standby mode.
I installed CPU temp monitor from Xposed and it shows, that the "normal" temp is 36-37C, but usually its about 47-51, and some times it heats up to 60-61C while in standby!
If I start charging it cools down to 39-42C.
I checked the memory booster to do not close the overheat system app but I never seen that app running.
Could someone help me?
P.s: sorry for the english
Phone OverHeat with ExistenZ 3.3.0
try another rom
Boot into safemode....
Turn off device normaly but keep the Turn Off option ticked on untill a popup appears and reboot into safemode.
After this check if the heat issue is still present
Hello guys,
I've been testing all lolipop roms that had listed everything as working. Such as crDroid, CandyRom, SlimLP. On every of those lolipop roms pretty much most of the important stuff worked. There were stuff like equalizer not working or too dim notification LED, but from time to time I got touchscreen freezes. I mean I could use phone for a couple hours and then the touchscreen would freeze really often, sometimes it froze for couple of seconds and that was it and sometimes it could last for 10 minutes. This is really annoying and unacceptable if developer says that the touchscreen works.
I ended up contacting crDroid developer - davidteri81 and he said that the touchscreen works fine for him. I asked in the thread and I got only a single response saying he doesn't have this issue, but the sensivity is too high.
I've tried like literally 4 lolipop roms on my Z1 and each one of them had those touchscreen freezes. I even ended up flashing liquidsmooth in which I didn't had this issue, or it just didnt had the chance to happen since most stuff doesn't work there and it isn't usable as a daily driver so I quickly got rid of it.
My question here is:
Do you get touchscreen freezes? Please reply only after minimum 24h of usage. If you don't have any touchscreen freezes on lolipop rom on the Z1 then please, tell me what Lolipop rom do you use as I couldn't find any that wouldn't have a buggy touchscreen.
Please tell me if it works for you without issues or do you also have this issue on the Z1 as I'm puzzled because it couldn't be just me since I did a full phone wipe, flashed the phone clean, even wiping internal memory, but it still happens and I cant find a way to use any Lolipop rom everyday on my Z1. The more replies I get, the better.
@olokos: I'm on CM12 official and use it now for many days. In this time I never faced any touch freezes on my Z1.
I've got some other "bugs" that confused me a bit and make some manual fixes like Wi-Fi MAC. But for me I can say that this ROM is really stable and I use it as my daily driver.

Same for me, although, the touch screen did freeze once, but I locked it and unlocked it and it worked again. It's probably hardware since I got my Z1 replaced because of this issue that even happened on stock ROM occasionally.
using CandyRom 5.0.2
I never faced any touch freezes issue
@olokos: I'm on 20150214 and now I've got touchscreen freezes. This is the first time for me on Z1.
But I think that this could be a global Cm12 issue, because my Nexus 7 also get some freezes and I thought that something is wrong with my fingers or tempered glass.
The problem is how to debug this?
im on candy 5 and my screen dont freeze, but my screen percieves touches from nowhere... but only if i have earphone plugged in .. thats more than just annoying
anyone has the same prob?
sry for my really bad english
Touchscreen freezing issue definitely isn't hardware issue on custom roms. I haven't tried CM12 or any other apart from those listed on XDA, but I will propably build some lolipop rom from source by myself if I get enough reports that will be useful for me. If touchscreen works for you then please, tell me what rom you are using and for how long you use it, what't the way you flashed it.
I only need those 3 things. If touchscreen doesn't work just for me then I'll build my own stock based rom based on Sony sources. I just have to make sure that the touchscreen issue isn't just on my side.
All I need is:
Do you have touchscreen issues? Yes/no
What ROM/Kernel you are using? CandyRom 5.0
For how long? 5 weeks
Answer those 3 questions, legitimately and I'll consider that. I'm not sure If I'll have enough time to work on this, so please, be honest with your answers because I'm not going to fix the touchscreen, or maybe I will if it doesn't happen for everyone.
I experience dramatic touch screen freezes as well since the first time I installed Lollipop nightlies. (4 weeks now). Tried clearing cache, factory restores, de- and reinstalling apps. Reflash kernel, format SD, reinstalling gapps, puzzeling at logcat logs etc. Nothing helps. Random freezes from seconds till minutes. Only thing that 90% of the time will help is keep pressing powerbutton until screen becomes responsive. It happens more when I have a lot of (hangout or whatsapp) notifications, or when trying to type something (stock keyboard). Tried other keyboards: no luck. Tried every toggle: WiFi , Bluetooth etc. : no luck.
I experience dozens of freezes a day. Almost to the point that cm12 is completely unusable. Love this ROM, but this is a real showstopper.
1. No
2. AOSP Vanir 5.02
3. Since first availibility (12/14)
I experienced this issue on 2 roms in 2 forms
1. No (coming from Stock 14.4.A.0.108)
2. KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] / iHackers advanced Stock Kernel
3. Since installing the Rom
This was the first time i experienced touch-issues. Not a freeze of the screen, but the screen sometimes started registering touch-events on the wrong places. This was temporarly fixed by locking/unlocking the display.
1. Yes (coming from KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] )
2. crDroid-5.0.2-20150303-honami / 3.4.0-crDroid (packaged with rom)
3. Since installing the Rom a day ago
This time i get freezes. And they are much more frequent than those "ghost-inputs" from KitSlim_AMG. Unlocking the device also fixes it temporarly.
I know there has been a lot of complaining around the Lollipop update. First of all, I want to say that I absolutely love my Z3C (Before the Lollipop update. I actually have no problem with the battery life, as many people are complaining about,
My problems are:
- Phone is superslow and laggy after update (The most annoying thing)
- Apps crash
- Flashlight turns on sometimes even though it says it's off (requires reboot)
I haven't tried factory reset yet because my phone is packed with apps and I've used a lot of time for the "perfect set-up". Will the factory reset fix these problems for sure? In that case I will do it, but if not I can at least live with it a couple of months more
It's very hard to say what will happen "for sure". However, I can tell you this - Lollipop on a clean system is at least as fast as KitKat, and all apps that don't need anything special to support Lollipop (all of the apps I use, for example) don't crash. And I definitely never saw flashlight coming on by itself. Been using Lollipop for a couple of weeks or so.
Hello folks.
I couldn't manage to find any other suitable title for my thread because thats it. My phone is damn slow.
I bought it on expansys month ago already and returned it because it wasn't what I expected - slow, unresponsive, wifi problems, battery problems. I got new one like a week ago and it was same "crap".
So I decide to root it and flash custom ROM - CM 12.1 for THEA. Worked like a charm for a day (or less) but okay. Yesterday I started experiencing problems. All of sudden phone restarted and when it booted up, started to boot again - bootloop I guess.
Somehow I managed to get it working. "Apps X out of Y are updating", when it finished after like 2 reboots it worked.
But later in the day "Auto Rotate" didn't work anymore (gyro out or something), people couldn't reach me, I couldn't reach them (had to call like 3 times to make it work) and its slow.
I reinstalled ROM today and wont install any application for now to see how long will it work normal.
Its strange that this is second model that I got and its still laggy. Could it be in my google account something terribly wrong? Only apps that are essential to me were installed (like 25-30), only official.
Anyone have a slightest idea of what is going on?
Thanks
the moto e 2015 is the same, very laggy device. i think alot of it is because of the memory leak 5.0.2 has. try to use xposed lollipop and the memory leak module.
Somehow I can't install Xposed (tried "xposed-sdk22-arm-xxxxxx.zip"). Therefore no modules work.
Whats the point of "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of y" ? I get this every restart...
Xposed will work on 5.0.2. If your on 5.1 search xda for the alpha xposed for lollipop 5.1. Works fine here.
Yeah found it. Installed "Lollipop Memory Leak" module. Next few days will tell if phone is worth keeping.
Anyway this question its still hot, why "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of y" pops up after restart? I get feeling something is wrong all the time.
Mine is very slow too. Pretty annoying actually. And when I watch videos on Instagram or Facebook, the sound and video is never in sync.
I put xposed with the lollipop mem leak module on my rooted xt 1072 and also gravity box and I think things like sluggishness and overall speed has improved.
Yes this phone is so slow it's painful. I got this phone because my nexus 6 is in for repair and as soon as it's back I'm returning this poor excuse for a phone. I wasn't expecting flagship performance but my god this thing is so so slow, and I get a horrible hiss when I'm make or recieve a call.
Hi,
I've recently purchased a new Sony Xperia SP from eBay for my mother.
After 2 weeks of using it, she had encountered these errors-
1) The sliding function of the phone seems to work 20% of the time, whilst at the other 80% it's not functioning, for example - when trying to answer/dismiss an incoming call, one needs to slide to the left/right, but when that's done, nothing happens, the call keeps coming, same goes for when trying to unlock the device (from the lockscreen, again, slide unlock), I swipe, but nothing happens (animation occurs, but phone doesn't unlock).
2) the sound (of music,notifications,etc) is muffled and low (even when Vol. is at max, & the case doesn't block the speaker)
I am looking for solutions, so far I couldnt find one
I prefer NOT having to root & flash a custom ROM, but if that's the only option, please suggest the most stable ROM (for a daily,stable use)

Try to update to the latest stock firmware using PC Companion

Tell us about the version of Android you're running, and the build too.
Have you tried anything already? You may need to run an update with PC Companion as the other guy said.
I find the stock Sony ROMS to be slow as crap, but you can still deactivate a certain number of apps, and use another launcher like Zeam to make it all smoother.
