I said camera is ok, not bad.
it lags everytime and freezes sometimes.
the memory is slow means I feel like I have windows 98 on an old HDD.
anyway I'll buy another phone as soon as I get money

Welll... i barely notice any difference compared with nokia 7 plus, for example, which has the same SoC
hate much?

oh god no, mine is fast as lightening, I am still amazed (after having it for more than one month) at how fast it is. Switching between apps is instant, browsing the gallery the same.

I was reluctant to believe that it was laggy. Since it uses the same chipset as the nexus 4 or a better version. How is the heavy games performing? I know there plenty of videos regarding gaming reviews. But I just want a views from a user of xperia zr. Since its a little on the costly side for me and want to make sure it's worth it.
not so laggy . my zr is smooth when running apps . a little bit laggy when play heavy games ,but not so obvious . this is a great phone with a little cost :fingers-crossed:

You mean the Game lags are not much noticeable? I would be installing Asphalt 7, if I get this phone. How would xperia zr stand up to nexus 4 in performance section?
Mine is laggy, not all the time but if you keep screen on for about 10 minutes and launching apps after apps, it gets really laggy especially on Chrome. I even have display issues where black screen are displayed on certain apps for awhile before showing up. Not sure if it's because I have too many sync data and background apps going on but I don't understand how anyone can use a smartphone these days without a minimum of such things going on

That sounds quite bad, mine definitely does not do that. However, I have to say Chrome is laggy on any kind of phone, I would never use it, especially because of that. I use Dolphin these days.
It will drop frames in heavy gaming because of overheat. it works well in gaming as long as you can keep it cool.
there is not lag in daily uses.
even Asphalt 8 can run smoothly on XZR
Well the phone is kinda brand new so.. in this price range its expected to be smooth and fast no doubt about it. The 2 gigs and 1.5 quad boy do the job.Have the phone from more than a month and I can tell you if u have the money go for it. the heating is abit ****ty when you play heavy games more than 30 min but every smatphone heats so..its not a big deal

Other than in the lockscreen, any lag in other area too?
I have been using my zr for about two months. Lag is virtually non existent. I am happy with the performance. Dead trigger plays very well. Only problems are heating during heavy gameplay like deadtrigger or using chrome and those flaps covering headphone jack and usb port. :thumbup:

I think it's just some games that just resource hogging and seems to cause those delay and black screens.
Sony roms are the most laggy roms ever (Specially if you have many background app running!) So expect some lag when connecting to internet
Not laggy. try factory reset.

All your requirements are met ok, EXCEPT multitasking.
There is nothing wrong with processor or RAM, but the software (currently 4.1.2) makes a mess of things pretty often. Things close all of a sudden, specially when multiple tabs in browsers, this phone suffers from amnesia...
if u clear recent apps list, walkman closes...
BUT, all of these are expected to be fixed in upcoming 4.3 in a few days. I suggest you wait for that, and then ask us what happened.
Other than that, amazing speed, super fast gaming, awesome battery backup, rich sound and music experience.

Yeah..Correct
i'd seen this device before too ...
the really annoying part fr me is that navigation bar..coz the screen is nt so big too
if possible can v able to change the dpi of that nav bar
and make it little bit smaller than usual
Of course.... But after root
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk
if you can, go for the z1 Mini. but its is pricy and no idea on when you will get it. but to the OP theres nothing wrong with the sp, multitasking is OK but 2gb ram would help it out however 1gb is enough. Sony has to get us up to kit kat so we will get it its just a a matter of when we do the camera is pretty good speakers are LOUD walkman player is epic and so is the light bar. i don't think you can find a better mid ranger

Oneplus announced release of OOS 3.1.4 fixing ram and display issues

Looks like it is being released to reviewers first then to us. I'm excited to see what other tweaks are included and how it performs after that update. Although my screen seems perfect and I've changed my ram limit to use all 6gb, it will be interesting to see how the world reacts.
http://www.neowin.net/news/oneplus-...xed-in-upcoming-update-reviewers-get-it-first
Maybe a reviewer could give us that update file even sooner ?
I hope that both are only options in developer section. I have no interest in a RAM fix right now.

Nobody has demonstrated that. I'm willing to bet that it conserves battery life because fetching an app from RAM is far more efficient than having to reload apps all the time.
Yesterday, with the ram fix, I got over 5h SOT with heavy multitasking. If that's the battery being impacted, then I'll take it :good:

Because I agree with OnePlus' decision in the first place as it fits my usage better.
It has seemed to make my battery life better, and to open up an app exactly where I left off is amazing. I think it's worth the fix.

Their decision was because they wanted to conserve battery life - but if it doesn't have a negative impact on battery life, then that's a moot point, right?

I don't know. If it doesn't have any impact on battery life and snappiness, then I would probably welcome it. However, I barely use more than 6 different apps on a single day, so I wouldn't even see a difference.

I'm curious (please don't take this as being rude or anything). How are you using only 6 apps a day? I mean, just making a phone call, texting someone, and checking email takes three.

Don't worry, no offence taken. A regular day would look like this:
phone, hangouts, chrome, inbox, whatsapp, camera, spotify - sorry, that's already 7, but I don't use the camera nor spotify (only in the gym) everyday. Most used apps are hangouts, chrome and inbox. I'm a pretty boring user but use my phone a lot.

Ah, I can see why the 6gb wouldn't be that important.
Do know that chrome uses a lot of ram! Every tab is an app. So 7 tabs is 7 apps
I've never been able to max out 3GBs of RAM much less 4 even with a 64bit Android OS. OnePlus added 6GB of RAM and USB C solely for the bragging rights, which explains why neither are implemented properly. I would have bought the OP3 if it didn't have either of them.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
I'm all for updates, and glad they're pushing them out quickly. Honestly though I'm perfectly content with the current version. I think the screen looks great, I don't notice any over saturation. And while I guess putting more of the RAM to use would be a welcome thing, I have yet to experience any kind of slowdown at all. I guess I'm kind of like Derdjango in that I use my phone all the time, but only a select few apps. Maybe closer to 10-12 depending on the day though.
Battery should be more efficient with multitasking, and a camera upgrade is badly needed as sometimes camera got buggy and stucks while clicking the pics.

I can see why people are calling USB C and 6 gb ram as a gimmick but if it's giving me a future proof phone, I will take it. 2 years back 2 gb ram was more than enough and today 3 gb is considered as a baseline. With 6 gb ram at least I will have options to keep this phone for few years even if it fails to manage RAM properly. We all came to XDA to learn how to tweak with our devices after all and it would be better to respect OP's decision of how to manage their OS and take the tinkering in our own hands.

Here is a screenshot where you can see only 1Gb unused out of 6Gb. 5Gb used for system, apps and cache. There are a lot of apps opened/cached (nothing crazy). Only 1 game in memory (candycrush).
The other screenshot shows battery life under this load. I must say, I'm quite surprised.
I think many people complain because they were hoping that less memory would've made phone cheaper, but I doubt that there would be much difference in price. I like 6Gb for the future proof as mentioned earlier. It can be used right now with build.prop fix or upcoming OTA. I hope that Google builds system that can even better utilize it in the future.

ROM Issue on Mi A2 (Updated)

Hey guys!
Many of you guys know about Mi A2's Memory problem. It's about Write and Read speed of Rom.
I tried everything. Sometimes its good but most often its bad like hell. Writing speed is about 30 MB/s.
I tried to reflash stock ROM and install clean so I got a better result. About 235 MB/s... After few days of using again... 30 MB/s
Idk what's wrong exactly. Xiaomi pulled back both updates of August and September. so I think there are some major issues.
And I am sure that there is two model of eMMc memory for A2. And I hope that this problem just goes for software.
This bug or issue cause many lags and freezes. Many people have the problem with flashing Roms with fastboot in Mi A2 too. I think this can be ROMs issue too. I tried to flash via fastboot with adb or with Xiaomi flash tool but both were unsuccessful due to an unknown issue. I tried them on 3 computer with over 16 GB of ram so it's not my computers problem.
We just need Xiaomi talk clearly about this problem. It's not a small one
I just want to know if our phones have the hardware problem or no
Update: At the 22 of October, we created an issue tracker for google devs, And they are investigating the problem. If u have the problem too, pls go to the button link and star the issue:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/118036531
Update: ( 24.10)
Google admin:
We have passed this to the development team and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.
that's right, it's a common problem on this cell phone, we hope that with the October update it will be resolved as more and more complaints
ye
Let's see some screenshot
Many Beta testers in India MIUI forum believe that its just my problem and they haven't any problem with ROM speed
I can confirm this. What's promising that speeds are good on freshly installed system. So it can mean that this is something with the software, not hardware.

Exactly. When i install fresh rom, there is no problem. both speeds are about 200 MB/s. But after few days... Its like hell and it cause some lag and bad response on touch
Maybe someone who has installed MIUI version on Mi A2 can do the tests, because MIUI doesn't have two partition system, so we can see if there is difference there.
And how are the Mi 6x 64/4 test speeds ?
Because it is the same hw on this phones, we can know is it software or hw issue.

I think the ram management on the a2 is horrendous. I usually have less than a gb free. Where as on my old phone (p9 lite 3gb ram) I had 1.5gb free no matter what.

I wonder why people think more free ram is better. Ram is there to be used and empty ram is wasted ram. Do you have any issues with apps closing unexpectedly? If not ram management is good actually.

So I was downloading the new update while browsing XDA. The phone kept freezing up so I checked cpuz.. had about 150mb free of ram. I don't think that downloading an update takes that much ram.

90MB/s writing is not good really. It must be about 200 at least. But it's not about speed. it's about instability. Try to run that benchmark again. Then try to use ur phone...
Just a question. Since this happens after some use, it could just be that memory isn't being trimmed (properly).
Could you trim the memory and do a benchmark then?
You can trim it via terminal or using the Trimmer app from the play store. Root needed for this.

It runs everything at speeds I've never witnessed before.
If your phone is overheating then could just be bad build quality but I don't think that's in the SOC.

It's not though. That same test on the Snapdragon 810 would be much worse... This one throttled so bad that over time its performance was pulled all the way down to the level of a Snapdragon 801 that was also thermal throttling (before the 801 throttled even further later)...
The reality is that it's up to the manufacturer to tame these SoCs. The SoC is designed to boost to max performance when it can and throttle when it hits certain temps. Seeing how the phone can't really dissipate the heat that effectively, the SoC will always throttle at some point under a sustained load but adding things like vapor chambers can extend that window to the point it's ONLY going to be noticeable when doing stupid things like these kind of tests.
