Hey, read some stuff on another forum post about leaked ota's that may help battery life. How do I know if I have the latest OTA...I bought my phone in July and it came stock with 2.3.4. Thanks
You do not have this OTA, you have the same stock rom as I do. This leaked OTA is from the soak test currently bieng run by users registered for the beta through Motorola Mobility.
No OTA's have been pushed so you have the stock 5.5.959 build.
An update was found on Motorola's update servers for the Droid 3 and leaked out.
Motorola has recently started sending notifications to users for a SOAK test OTA, once this is pushed to those users.....it's usually a week or two before everyone gets the update (if it was deemed a success).
You can apply the leaked update which does help the battery tremendously but rumors are that you will not be able to accept the official update later.
You may want to just wait for a bit......unless you don't mind the possibility of being at the leak update level permanently.
Thanks guys, I think I'll take that advice and just wait for an official OTA. Battery life does indeed suck for my droid 3. A bit unimpressed with homescreen lag, app drawer lag, camera lag, audio lag when listening to music, etc. Got Launcher Pro which helps alot but still laggy at times...hoping this ota will help with that?
With the increasing number of system and market apps that start themselves up for no apparent reason, whether it be just a footprint for faster launching, or update/admo services that never turn off, and blur bieng a resource hog in general, the lag isnt something that will be fixable until we can get more support for the devices massive specs, or a stripped down rom with a viable recovery option. Every stock app on the phone goes through MotoBlur, and with root, its extremely easy to break one of these apps if you install the wrong apk. Please be careful out there, and have fun with your phone!
Well...guess I'm waiting for OTA and...cyanogen, or roms in general to fix all these issues then...
*tryin to be patient*
I've found some extra battery life after rooting and freezing all the blur I didn't want.
Also I just wanted to say I'm in the soak group and we have not yet had any OTA's to try. They just sent out emails the other day making the soak group official. We should see something soon. It's looking like the 890 OTA will be official, which is great because it certainly has some battery life improvement...from what I've read.
The 5.6.890 OTA is great, but it breaks sleep mode.
go to setting-about phone-system updates
click system updates and wait
if there is an update for your phone
there will be a pop-up and will ask if you want to
download and install
if there is no update then will say your phone is up to date

Because of the very laggy behaviour of my I9070 after the official upgrade to JB, I decided to go for KitKat after reading good reviews about it.
All this is pretty new for me, but I succesfully rooted the phone, installed the ClockWorkMod recovery tool and flashed to Android 4.4.4.
The build number according to the settings menu is: carbon-janice-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 3a697bce2f test-keys
Overall the performance is excellent and the nasty lags in the youtube app are completely gone so I can finally watch movies again Also I am pleased about the look and feel of KitKat.
The problem is that when receiving an incoming call, it appears that the caller does not hear my voice during the first 5 seconds or so. Mostly this is the time that I say "hello <my name> speaking" but this is not heared by the caller. Now I am forced to wait those few seconds before saying my name. I tested it with my other home phone line and this unwanted behaviour does seem to be persistent.
It is pretty annoying and really a flaw to this otherwise great update. Any ideas how to fix this?

That is happening on every 4.4 I think. It was on CM10.1, CM10.2 too.

I use Carbon rom 4.4.4, to be exactly the ROM-file CarbonKK_janice-4.4.4-20140627.zip
AFAIK this is still the most recent version. Maybe the problem was even worse with the previous builds.
But I did not have this problem with the, otherwise pretty laggy official JB upgrade from Samsung.... lets hope for a new update from Carbon that gets rid of the issue.

Hmm
Have not downloaded this version bcos the mega downloader gets stuck all the time
if the problem exists then why dont you try the AOSP rom
Off course it does not provide with all the features but its quite stable and we definately have gravitybox or many other apps for the additional features

I will definately consider this, I have not a very clear view on the differences between the different ROMS and tend to get lost in the flood of information on this site and others... I am not interested in lots of features but just want a fast, lag-free phone with the normal features: email, gmail, whatsapp, youtube, Google maps etc. If AOSP is more stable than Carbon, I will surely try it.

I installed the AOSP rom and it seems stable and maybe the call delay issue is better, still have to test it more.
I do however miss some nice functions which were present of the Carbon ROM:
- separate lockscreen background
- disabling the annoying Google Now bar on the homepages
- some fine tuning in icon colors
- kliing an app by long-press the back button
- defining hotkeys e.g. for the camera
and some more..
Is there maybe some package to install to add functions like this to the AOSP ?

Unfortunately the AOSP-4.4.4 ROM (build 20140620) is on second thoughts not working for me.
Though the install of the ROM and GApps went fine, I discovered that I had no internet when leaving my home with Wifi, and it appears that I had no connection with my provider and the icon always showed the R of "roaming".
Even after a new fresh install without the GApps the problem persists. The setting "Mobile data" appeared to be torned off, and ehen setting it to on, the triangle with exclamation mark and the (translated) message "The data connection has been broken because you left your home network while data roaming was turned off" (hope my translation makes sense).
So accessing my 3G network appears to be impossible and tham makes the build unusable for me. I installed the Carbon Janice 4.4.4 again and everything worked fine.
With the pa_gapps-mini.4.4.4 the system is up and running again and the incoming call delay is still somewhat of an issue but no show stopper. So for now I go that way...

Check if you have set up APN, on some ROMs it is not possible to be set automatically by provider. So you need to fill it manually. And you must do factory reset on ROM change to avoid those kind of problems too.

Do you mean a factoery reset just after installing the ROM and Gapps? I think indeed I have not done that.
For now it is working fine with Carbon but I will definately remember your tips for a next flash

Yes, factory reset before or after (just need to to it when you change ROM) install of a new ROM. Unless you just doing update to new version of the same ROM. Then you do wipe cache and dalvik cache.

OK I did those 3 steps before flashing the new ROM. Sometimes I even had to do it twoce because the ROM did not install and raised a error 7 or so...
I think it was more a problem with the APN configuration and never before needed to do this manually...

If you dirty flash (just wipe cache/dalvik and install) the new version, you want loose your apps etc.
But I would recommend to do a clean flash (factory reset and format system), but before backup your apps with Titanium. After installing the new version you can restore your apps and data.
But anyway, before wiping/installing anything do a nandroid backup. So if anything went wrong, you can go back in just a minute.
solution ?

Dont blame google for samsung mistakes. It isnt android problem couz my friend is using sII and there isnt any problem. Our phone is not an flagship like s 5 or nexus 5 so it has problems.
But this dealy is usefull sometimes.
For example if u want to unsware the call and u are stressed u can take a deep breath before u hear voice for other side

Yeah... I even bought another phone because of this...
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 have a Z3 Compact running pre-rooted Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. I got a notification about software update that i can't dismiss. i don't know if i should upgrade or not so force stopped the software update app.
What is your opinion about Marshmallow?
Are there any bugs?
Are there new features added and some features removed?
Is it worth upgrading to Mashmallow or should i keep Lollipop?
sorry i can't upgrade without user reviews
You can dismiss the update notification if you want (disable it).
MM has officially been out for only a few weeks and consequently is still full of bugs and problems.
The threads are full of the cries for help from the MM rom jumpers, oh the pain of being an early adopter.
Give it another month, by then it'll fixed.

Dont update to Mm.. There is some feature that missed..like battery stamina/ultra stamina..and also the battery drain fast..

For me I will stay for not specified time at LP (mainly because of custom kernel).

The next time you see a notification, hold your finger on the notification and the bar will turn black and you will see an information 'i' on the right side, press this.
This will bring up the notification option.
Alternatively, go to settings\apps\scroll to the right until >all apps > 'update centre'
Then - force stop, untick notifications, clear cache/data
You won't get any more notifications about MM and no this won't harm or damage your phone in any way. Your phone will work fine on 5.1 for years and years, it doesn't need MM

If you have root, then go to the market and install ES Explorer
Open it, go to menu, look at the bottom 'tools'.
tick 'root explorer'
Go back to the top of the menu and find "home/device/system/app"
Look for "com.sonyericsson.updatecenter.apk"
Make a copy and save it somewhere, like Downloads.
Then delete the original in system/app.
If there is a problem you can always put the copy back in the folder, otherwise you will never get another update message again:good:

Just like when Sony released 5.0 Lollipop, it was full of bugs and the battery life sucked. It wasn't until 5.1 came out that we finally got a usable ROM. Expect more of the same with MM. Wait until 6.1 is released before upgrading. Especially those who are not rooted. There's no fixes and no turning back for those users.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but I just bought this phone secondhand and its on 5.1 and have received the update notification. Have the bugs that are in the above comments been fixed in 6.1 or is it still not worth upgrading to Marshmallow?

For me, the most horrible is the delay when opening apps:
Lag manifests on this way: in response to launching app (Dialer let say) "window"/app pops up immediately but is is empty/white and only after a sec/two content shows up (for Dialer recent call list, favourites/frequent contacts, search). Minimizing app and immediately opening again is ok (it is in cache, background, memory), instant content shows up. But if I launch another app after minimizing dialer and then start dialer again - lag in Dialer is there. As if somehow Dialer is killed in background and need to relaunch again from the start (even full relaunch should not take that long anyway). Same as killing it in recent activities. All other stock apps behave this way. It is really annoying to see such a powerfull phone lags in this basic stock apps, as this doesn't happen on previous android versions (4.4.4, 5.0.2 or 5.1.1).

Indeed, I bought an iPad mini, downgraded z3c to KK and life is good.
I use my phone now for what phones are meant to - calling, occasional e-mail, messaging, weather, etc. Battery life is 4..5 days. The car bluetooth shows addressbook again (did not work with LP, MM).
I use power toggles as lock screen widget for bluetooth, wifi, hotspot switch. Lock screen does not require additional swipe. All other things, in reality, work as they work with LP, MM.
For heavy use larger screen is recommended anyway - for the health of your eyes first of all.

Really? What problems did LP & MM bring to the z3c? If it is just better battery then I think I will stay with LP...(unless its twice as good on KK). The camera quality is important for me, are any of them better/worse than others?
Do I just use a 23.0.1.A.5.77 FTF file from here and flash it using Flashtool as the instructions here? I have not rooted or unlocked bootloader, all stock.

There is nothing wrong in MM.
Except for some people who do not use phone 12x7.
Since the concept ROM I was wondering why the battery gets empty even if I do nothing with it. The answer was Doze of course. Yes, I tried several ways for activating aggressive doze, but was not satisfied with these.
Then I decided to go retro and KitKat is all I really need, with its working STAMINA.
For camera I use Sony A6000 and you really can not compare real camera with phone.
If you use your phone heavily, please do not downgrade.
If you have smartwatch, please do not downgrade.
If you feel unsure about flashing, please do not downgrade.
If the warranty is dickbutt in your country - please do not downgrade.
If you still decide to downgrade, then yes, your instructions are correct.
NB! The flash will take long time. Be pacient. It seems to be stuck but it just stays in one place for 5..10 minutes and then everything is ok. I have not measured the exact time, but I was horrified at first flash - it really seemed stuck. Perhaps it is just with my phone.
Scared of MM, really?
Firstly its been out quite some time now, especially if you consider N has just been released to the Nexus range.
Stamina mode and Doze are fantastic, I get 2 days+ with my compact and it's on 24/7.
I also have audited my startup items and background apps to reduce load on then phone which pays dividends.
The initial MM upgrade didn't include Stamina but Sony have since released an update bringing it to the masses.
Your call in the end but don't let scaremongerers cloud your judgement, do some reading, reviews from good sources and make your own minds up.
I did and only issue I had, which I know probably isn't just down to MM, was the emergency dialling issue on lockscreen.
3rd party app cured that for me so now the phone doesn't sit in my pocket making random noises and dialling whoever it pleases anymore!

I've got 4...5 days with KitKat, phone is also on 24/7 (but of course, I do not USE it 24/7). No root.
It's not about scare - the phone is too cheap to be scared, besides there are many new phones to choose from with really good batteries.
However, I do not feel that I should change the phone and I like when I do not have to charge it often.

Perhaps one should take into consideration that the workload of the phones has been increased a lot during last few years. Specially if you have smart devices etc.
Hello guys.
I own an xt1800, and pretty happy with it.
It came out of the box with Android 7.1, and got updated to 8.1 via ota sometida months ago.
What I'm noticing is that the phone gets sluggish after 100+ hours of be powered on, this did not happen in 7.1
If I restart the phone everything goes back to normal, so it's something related to the os.
What do I mean by sluggish? For example if you open chrome, it can be unresponsive for some seconds and then comes to life. If you are loading a webpage and scrolling, it can freeze for a few seconds and then continue working...
This is not exclusive of chrome, other apps suffer from this as well (such as Gboard)
Many security patches had been applied since the 8.1 upgrade, but none of them fixed the issue.
The upgrade was done via OTA.
Have you experienced something like this?
I used to have a Moto X 1st Gen, and the stock/original firmware (4.2.2) was the best version of the phone. It got updated to 4.4, 4.4.4 and 5.1 but they all had some issues the 4.2.2 didn't.
I'm wondering if you are not supposed to upgrade a Motorola phone, since I'm experiencing something like that with this phone as well.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
