Hi,i used to play clash of clans on my previous device which was xperia z1. After i switched to the note 5 yesterday i noticed that the resolution of the game is quite low,even lower than my xperia z1 which has a full hd screen.
Please see the attached screenshot from the note 5 and help me in any way possible.
Some other doubts:
1. WiFi connection isn't great,is it a known issue?
2. How long does it take for battery life to stabilise?
3. Is it bad to charge the phone over night?
EDIT -found out guys,the game tuner automatically set the resolution to balanced. I changed it to maximum and now it works fine.
WiFi seems fixed too

Anyone experiencing battery heating issues?
The battery temp stays from 25C to 36C when not in use/constant usage.
however, after prolonged period in lockscreen mode, & i unlocking to use it, it heats up pretty fast, playing games worse; ends up with 42C to 48C, highest being 51C.
is this a common issue? (as some of my friends have this prob too), and it's only the dark blue Note.
any ideas for fix?
Mine gets pretty toasty as well. If I use it while charging it, I've seen it get to 48 degrees.
My Battery died tonight. I woke up after i burned nearly my arm becaus of the hot device. it boots shortly because of demaged battery but i dont know if the Note is ok. display issues. It was on CM 04, on 03 i dont have recogniced any heating problems. If my new battery arrives i must test if it has no damage.
@gilrad: i never use my phone when charging so that i can get a more accurate charge.(just my own thinking) still it can get abit hot(but this is the normal heating)
just referring to light/normal/heavy usage.
@wtwo2: how did your note get hot in the first place ?

it was on charging. it boots shortly with battery and charger in but then goes off(usb port). battery doesn't load any more
edit:with charger in wall it boots normally and i can use it but i testet it only shortly, better wait for new battery.
Until now 'no' issues with device.
Yep, same here on my Note, International version from Latin America, GB, rooted.
It gets hot when I do intensive activities such as:
- Watching full featured movie (1+ hour)
- Playing games with tons of action (not simple one like Draw Something)
- Browsing website with heavy content (Flash, ads)
So far, has NOT resulted in too high of temperature such that it burn my hand.
Mine is heating like toster
My note is heating up very fast. I found when it is heating so badly
1.When you search for 3g networks or wifi signals or when downloading at high speeds.
2.When you start ur flashlight for 5 or more minutes
3.When you use your GPU at most for example watching HD video and playing high quality games
I saw my battery upto 58 degrees
I saw my battery draining like seconds when i started watching a hd video it goes on decreasing from 78,77,76...............27 in just 20 mins time with 3g activated.

Its odd that people report that the Note gets hot while watching videos. Are these online flash videos or something? I use my Note to watch a lot of HD videos, and it always runs cool. It may be to do with the encoding on the video or the player... I tend to encode to High profile H264 and use mVideoplayer. AFAIK, this allows GPU decoding which runs cooler and draws less power.
Some players use the CPU (the early versions of Mobi player did this I think), which gets hotter faster and drains the battery quicker.
Mine often gets hot only after i've left in lockscreen mode for quite a while -> wake-up -> use apps before it cools down after quite some time, with the app still running

and now it's getting a bigger drain even when i leave it locked while i sleep. dropping from 100% to 60% in one night and from battery graph, it shows that my phone's getting wokeup periodically - any ideas..?
and now i have to reboot often once i realise the battery cant enter deep sleep mode -> battery drain. it's monitored by betterbatterystats where my deep sleep time is 0s, anyone got any ideas what's causing the wakes?
Hi guys
I'm running Jellybam on my Note. Have had no problems previously. Lately, when i'm playing a game, the screen will start to flicker then the device shuts itself off.
I know this happens at low battery levels, however, this is happening when my phone is on full or near full charge. It's driving me crazy as I can't play any game for more than a few minutes at a time.
Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is and any solution please?
Try changing kernel and stay at stock freq.

This is common with old, degraded battery's. If the battery is more then 1 year old or you use the battery a lot then you will have to change it. A friend had a similar problem and he just bought a new battery.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note and planning to get the Xperia Z. Based on how I use my phone, I javelin some questions:
1. Battery through the day
I don't play games on my phone, but use it quite extensively for work. I.e. Exchange push, 3 Gmails accounts, documents review etc. I HAVE to carry a 2nd battery in my wallot since the battery went to 10% by 6PM (unplugged from chatter at 7:00 am).
Since Xperia Z does NOT have user replaceable battery, will the Z can accommodate the above based on my usage? Otherwise, what's the best solution given the battery is not replaceable?
2. Screen readability outdoor
The Note AMOLED is not really readable under the sun. How it is with the Z?
3. Anything else I should be aware? The Note is LAGGY (tried all kind of ROMS), but I attribute this to ICS.

1. With the type of usage that you have presented above you should get significantly better results with Xperia Z. The screen on time is about 3hrs with data on (some users reported up to 5hrs) but if you consider that it can last for 12hrs with screen off and eat just 1% of battery it should last you through the day and more.
2. Because Xperia Z uses an LCD IPS panel you will see a significant improvement in that area as well. The outdoor visibility is very good imo and others have reported similar results.
3. I think Xperia Z is a safe bet when it comes to performance. You might wanna change the launcher as the one provided by Sony is not the greatest.
Thanks for the info!
I use Nova so will definitely replace the home screen!

1. I get 4 hours of screen on time with gaming(20 mins) and wifi(for whatsapp and surfing).
EDIT:I also have auto-sync on with 2 e-mails and dropbox.
2. The Xperia Z has an LCD panel and these are much brighter than the AMOLED panels that Samsung uses. I can confirm that the auto-brightness does a great job for outdoor visibility.
3. Stock launcher is laggy. Apart from that, just check the general forum over here for all the issues found with the Z(such as camera taking 4-5 seconds to start up etc)

Hard to say exactly to gauge you actual usage. But most people coming from the note have said the battery life is good on the Sony, and they have been happy with the screen.
I use my phone to sync 3 email accounts, facebook, meetup, whatsapp, sync time, and two weather apps on the most regular intervals. Play games, listen to music for about two hours a day, and read articles on flipboard about 1 hour a day, take phone calls answer emails and txt messages and battery is at about 53% by the time I go to bed, but in saying this a word of warning battery life was bad when I first got the phone, but after about three weeks it has been great.
I personally find that the screen is very good outside, better and easier to read than my laptop outside.
Phone doesn't use ICS, phone does not lag, but has the odd launcher micro lags, which are most due to the Linux 3.4 kernel used for phones, not the phone.

I don't have this problem, because I use a different camera app , plus the cyber-shot mod significantly speeds up the startup of that camera app.
Hi guys I'm new here and I just xperia sp a month ago. My problem is when i play games ( wild blood and dead trigger ) the battery drains too fast, at 5 to 10 minutes of play time it drains like 10 sometimes 20% of the battery and also when browsing in internet. But when I just use it normally like texting or calling it doesnt drain that much, and can go for 1 to 2 days without charging. My only problem is when gaming, it drain alot and fast. Is that normal in xperia sp? and sometimes it also gets too hot while playing. Thanks
edit; By the way I'm still using the old .257 fw, i havent updated to .254 yet. And i havent done anything on my sp yet except install those 2 games. Could I just upgrade directly to .254 and bypass .245 update. Because in my notification in only says .254 update.
Thanks
My old PSP has a 1800mah battery and it holds about 3 hours of gametime. Mind you, it has a 333mhz processor which is nothing compared to the dualcore Snapdragon. Also it doesn't have many background processes or an antenna for mobile signals.
1-2 hours of gametime = dead battery. Thats pretty normal.

mute all the sounds from the game setting and the drain will be half.
means games sound should be turned off from games setting not phones ganeral setting
Turning on Airplane mode also saves battery at about 5-10% while playing.
When U want to play with sound. Use your headphones.
Dont forget thats a phone. Not playing console. So 2 hours from 100% till 0 when playing its pretty good.
thanks guys
On my old Xperia Play I used to lower Cpu frequency. Sounds odd but in reality most of games don't need full speed.
When you start game systems turns on full power which drains battery. If you lower Cpu to 1GHz it will give some more juice and you can play smoothly still.
I play Dungeon Hunter 4 or Real racing 3 on 800 MHz
Try different speeds and see what is optimal for you.
And don't forget to dimmer your screen as well.

The charging rate is very slow, only about 10% per hour... Anyone facing the same ??
Get gsam and see what it shows your mA at when charging.
It could be a cm glitch, no doubt..... But it could be an app causing issue or a bad quality cable or charger too. ?
I use CM12 on my HTC One (m7, GSM) since 2-3 Days and I have no major problems until now. I had around 2 random-restarts.
I am very satisfied with it and would never change back.
Only problems I got:
- I wanted to do a hotspot to surf on the internet with my laptop. The hotspot appeared in the Wifi-List, but I wasn't able to connect. Maybe I did something wrong.
- I once wasn't able to activate the wifi on the device. But a restart fixed this.
Android 5 is ultra fast compared to other versions I used. It looks very good and the apps start/end with nearly speed of light. Everything runs very smooth.
PS: I didn't encounter the "battery draining" or the "slow charging" problem. This is around the same as before. I hoped that the replacement of Dalvik would bring more efficiency on games (device heats up if you play for example "Boom Beach"), but this is the same as before.
PPS: Here is what I HATE about android 5:
You cannot disable the google bar on the top of each home screen. I also tried to freeze it using "Titanium Backup Pro", but this leads to a crash of the whole homescreen. I hate, how google tells us what there has to be an what not. The only solution I found on the net is, that you install the Nova launcher or something similar.
Cheers,
Trudler
The mobile data also don't work though the data is on and the data icon shows.... I'm on moto x xt1052.... Anyone facing ?
