Hi everyone, It is great to be here. Wanna ask some questions on my Xperia Z.
1. I am currently on firmware 10.4.1.B.0.101. Noticed that the album app is very lag compare to when I first bought the phone in March 2013. During that time it was 4.1.2 JB. The more the album app updates itself, the more lag it is. Any way to overcome this?
2. I used Antutu stability test for my Z, the result was my phone most of the time is in unstable condition. Yes it heats up super fast even for normal apps usage for few minutes. around 40-42 degree celcius. Anyway to solve this? Installing custom rom would solve this?
3. I am currently not rooted but I wanna do so soon. Is there any rom which you guys can recommend? I like sony UI but I prefer better performance and stability.
Thanks a lot guys!

IF u want stability Just install Stable version CyanogenMod
However u can Repair ur phone by PCC
it will wipe ur rom and reinstall fresh ROM and it may solve ur problem with heat and lags
cause thr s heat controller and maybe it s not working properly in ur phone
:good:

7 hrs with screen on is not bad.
you can root the phone and can safely unroot it.it wont void the warranty.

You can root it easily by using towelroot
I get around 8 hrs screen on time.
I used the manual way because towelroot was not available at that time

I've been using it for a little over a day now and the batter life has not wowed me. I've seen better battery life on KitKat. That being said, this is not a final version, and a lot of the Google Services based apps aren't updated yet.
Please share your results of battery life time, and Screen On Time so the community can get a consensus of battery life running this new Developer Preview.
I have achieved just over 4 hours of SOT after my first days use.
Just my thoughts exactly.
Same here

It's horrible for me , dunno why . I've got only 2 apps installed , Tapatalk and another one . Miscellaneous is always on top :/ ...
Yea. I've been getting 5+ hours sot on KK. Not on Lollipop. November 3rd isn't too far away tho!
Hammerhead | L Developer Preview Final
Probably shouldn't whine around since it's a developer's preview but I agree with the above posts.. Battery life has been quite pathetic for me as well. Can't make it through a day on a single charge now.
Really missing ElementalX!
Back on kk due to heavy battery drain .. On first preview battery life was awesome .. Don't know what's wrong in the new preview . i hope the final build will be better
I highly doubt the final version will be any better. Less then a month away for final release. It takes a long time to find all those issues etc. It's going to be a work in progress for months.
The final version may be a bit better but I can't imagine 3 weeks is going to make a huge difference.
Absolutely fine for me, same as KitKat.
You guys are doing something wrong.

Apparently not... People who have wiped everything and installed only gmail/tapatalk are also experiencing huge drains even after a few battery cycles.
In my case, the phone sleeps just fine and goes to deep sleep without any wakelocks. However, when I start using it, battery drops down every few minutes and it doesn't even last a day. The overall drain is too much. May be few of my most used apps aren't fully compatible with Lollipop and hence the drain...

I believe the final version is ages ahead of this preview. IMHO they probably had to set up a more or less stable build for developers to test the final API, It doesn't mean the final version got much more changes.
They probably got the tech stuff done and released it for developers without caring of other changes, just technical to make sure apps would work...
Battery for me is being horrible too, got many batdrains but I think It will be improved on the final version.
At 65% battery now. Uptime 16 hours SoT 1 hour 44 min.
Lost 2% battery in 10 hours sleep this night while it was on wifi.
By the way this is the first battery cycle ever on this phone. Bought it yesterday, went home and flashed Lollipop right away then fully charged and started using it. So the usage has some app downloads etc.
The final version for Nexus 5 will not be in the 3/11.
Google will only update at that day the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, Nexus 9. (hardware without LTE).
Nexus 5 will be update to Android 5.0 later of November. (like Nexus 6)
I have this preview version and I see that the gpu driver need some polish.
Personally I get the same battery life on Lollipop than on Kitkat. Maybe little better especially when screen off. I had the "miscellaneous bug" and my battery suffered a lot but I removed many apps (G+ ?) and the battery consumption of the "miscellaneous" things drops to only few percents.
part of the battery life drain is due to the much more aggressive on-demand settings

Same here.. mostly the same battery life..
Overnight drain is reduced - the graph is pretty much horizontal during that time. Once you start using it though it doesn't seem any different.
Only thing I have installed currently is the google apps (chrome, G+, gmail, maps).
Please use the current battery life thread here

Hello everyone. I finally bought the Sony Xperia ZR.
Currently I'm running android 4.3 and I'm having mixed thoughts about updating to android 4.4.4
I know the best way for me to find out which is more suited to my needs is by trying both of them out but I have limited net plan.
So could I have some suggestions. Anything at all.
Which one, in YOUR opinion has better battery life, multitasking, gaming and anything else you can think of.
Thank you :good:
Always update to latest. Don't think about battery and other stuff.
Update version means corrections on past problem with better solution. It's never changing process.
Good luck.

after 4.4.4 update, my phone is overheating very quickly like in 10 mins usage of facebook or whatsapp or youtube
4.3 was better. and because of overheating, the battery life is shortened.
For me at least, 4.4.4 is much better, it's a lot more responsive, and doesn't have the battery drain bug that 4.4.2 had. The battery life isn't as good as 4.3, I don't think, but I'm not sure, since I'm running Xposed with a whole bunch of modules, some of which take up a lot of RAM and battery. Still, overall, I think you should update.
Hi, i upgraded my z3 compact with lollipop but downgraded to kitkat because of bad battery life, now the battery is indeed better tha lollipop but its still not as great as it was at the beginning.
It drops fairly 1% after few minutes of surfing web and it droped 2-3 %in last 7 minutes whiles i was posting these. I did a clean install of kitkat. Could you please tell me that does your battery drop 2-3 % easily for searching through forum's, and also it drops easily if i install apps from sd card at around 1% every 2-3 apps i install.
i flashed 760 and i had bad battery life,then ota .28 and now i have 2 days of battery life ^^

sounds good, I'll have a try.
Ok i downgraded to kitkat and i kinda like it more except the icons and few material changes, here i the things i noticed
1- louder ? sounds in headphones (not sure) but definitely in notification
2- better battery life , charging while playing games
3- consistent battery ? life
4- i like kitkat notification better than lollipop,
5- may be a little smooth
6- ui was better and original than sony did with lollipop. App drawer was better using full space unlike new one showing a tab.
7- i liked Walkman player app more, unlike lollipop ? switching between clear audio is easy.
Hey you didn't replied my original question, can you do following testing for me.
1- battery drop in standby while you sleep, i. E 8-9 hour without touching phone ?
2- battery drop while installation of apk from sd card
3- battery drop through speakers, how much it dropped with each song played at full volume.
I think i will not upgrade to lollipop until they feature raw support to cameras. Kitkat is more stable for me.
Thanks.

i am having the same battery life degrading problem , my version is android 5.0.2 and build number is 23.1.A.0.726 . can you tell me what updates did you mean in your reply pls ...
If you can live without lollipop material design, kitkat is way more battery ? friendly, try downgrading, i don't feel upgrading now just for new version. Though raw camera ? support can change my mind
