[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubskru:
Im running the catalysm rom + franco kernel undervolted (which by the way decreases the temperature) and under clocked to 1728mhz. I also am using greenify + xposed. Finally I turn off location reporting, touch sounds, always scanning wifi and set location to "battery saving" mode. Without any gaming I get around 5hr of screen on time. Straight gaming gives me around 2.5hr of SOT. Usually I get around 4hr from my regular day. Any other tips for battery?

Guys as we all face several delays and miss in informations about the new software upgrades we wish to sign a petition to force sony To share us the stages and phases about the new upgrade not as before waiting 3 months and no info,as you saw what happeb to xperia SP they delay the updates wothout any reason so guys who can help us to do it so we can get some info fron the source neither leaks nor rumors are you in guys so who can help us???
[Xperia Z General] wright_ac:
They're already pushing updates faster than they ever have, their update process is pretty easy to follow if you put in the time and effort to research it a little. Unlike a lot of brands they put a large emphasis on optimisation which means that things run a lot smoother, note the limited number of bugs in the 4.3 software. Yet again another spam thread about where's my update, the long and short of it is you have to be patient and wait like the rest of us.
[Xperia Z General] ikcud:
wright_ac is correct about this. Their updates has been more faster than the originally before. Even faster than optimization than the Samsung updates which tells you something already. I've been largely patient with the updates and with the newest update, I've been noting but impress with optimization and additional little UI changes which does have it quirks of wondering why they haven't done that in the first place haha. The only glimpse I have is to replace the vibration module which have been ordered. DIY here I come haha.

7 updates, including 2 upgrades to new versions of Android in less than a year aren't enough for you?

4.1.2

350 -> 434 -> 253 -> 307

Then -

4.2.2

423 -> 244 -> 67

Then -

4.3

569

How fast do you expect Sony to release updates if that isn't enough for you?

My previous device was a LG P990. It received 2 updates in the 2 years that I had it. Both were bug ridden messes that shouldn't have even been betas, never mind released.

So think yourself lucky with what you get from Sony. :D
[Xperia Z General] LosserKlosser:
Spot on!

Just as the Playstation 1 with the limited hardware got better and better games and graphics, so does the Z stock ROM get better and faster.

I love this device.
[Xperia Z General] samxool:
instead of wasting time with incremental updates, they should focus their attention to more timely updates.

I'm on 4.2 waiting on 4.3.

4.3??!! , i should be getting 4.4 now!
[Xperia Z General] jimsey:
lol... you should buy a nexus or GPE phone if you want the latest greatest android version instantly, if you want Sony's refined software, we need to give Sony time to work on it.
[Xperia Z General] Cenobite_:
TO should stop whining and start learning how to develop new ROM's himself. You sound like a little kid.
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Sony firmware is just as buggy and comes with as many issues as updates from other manufacturers so your optimization argument is just bull.

The truth is flagship for flagship, Sony is much later than its competitors as far as updates go.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
You heard it here, Sony. Don't bother fixing any bugs or bother with any quality assurance. Get those updates out the door now!

Seriously, it's plain from your post history that you have no idea what it takes to prepare, test and release an update, especially an upgrade to a new version of Android. Just stop commenting altogether until you do. Or even better go and complain on Sony's support forum like you've been told to many times in the past.

This is a development forum, primarily for people to share work they have produced and for similarly interested people to share knowledge and to learn, not a place for people with no clue to vent about things that nobody here has any control over.

Edit -

Here's someone else that only comes here to complain about Sony when updates are on the horizon. Hooray!
[Xperia Z General] wright_ac:
Right, let's look at it this way is there any major bug in the 4.3 Rom that is detrimental to performance/usability, not really. If you look at how smooth 4.3 runs compared to 4.2.2 you'll see what I mean, if it's "bull" as you so call it then move to another manufacturer like HTC or Samsung. If people looked at what went into it all and saw the amount of work it takes you'd all stop complaining less.
[Xperia Z General] gripfly:
I think more than 50% of the people forget that SONY always more than 3 phones support with updates.

How kingvortex said, there is a lot of time and management needed to realese a update or upgrade.

Do not forget this guys! That is really hard work for SONY.

[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
You guys can fanboy all you want. The simple fact remains Sony is always behind Samsung and HTC with software updates. It's nobody's fault they produce so many phones.

When did the s4 and HTC one get 4.3? Months ahead of Sony that's when.

The OP made the fatal mistake of posting such a thing here at xda or should I say fanboys corner.
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Ok some question.

What visible changes has htc made in the 4.3 update?

-None

What new great things were contained in the new update?

-Almost none

I've seen bloatwiz and sense updates and wasn't impressed at all.

[Xperia Z General] gripfly:
Do not forget, not every human buys every year a new phone. What I wanna say: HTC and Samsung does not give that update support as SONY. They update more or less the flagship and let the other phones waste after a year.

Also the most of people want a stable and smooth ROM. If SONY would release Android 4.4 after 1 week, I do not think that all would be stable.

And I prefer 1 good update than one which is not finished and I have to wait again for an update.

Here it doesn't matter if we are fanboys or not. That's fact yes, but what is better? 3 updates/phone in a year or 15 updates/phone in 2-3 years and be more or less up 2 date for long time?. If you don't like that, buy next time an other phone or unlock your bootloader and flash custom ROMs or buy a GPE.

Tommy-Geenexus said it, SONY give us also much of (new) features. They gave us the whole UI from the new Z1 with the 4.3 update.. That isn't of course. And also do not forget, SONY have to "change" all from "Android design" in to the "SONY design", that needs a lot of time.

I like the update policy because I know, every time when I read SONY will give us a new update, there will be a lot of new changes that can make me happy. :D

But however. Everyone should have their own opinion, they should just be realistic. :cool:
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Looking at your post history, you seem to have a long history of buying Sony phones and coming here to whine about every little thing.

Yet you still keep on buying Sony phones.

Why is this exactly? You would have thought anyone that seems to dislike a manufacturers practices so much would have moved on by now.

You like to throw the word fanboy around a lot, when people are simply disagreeing with what you say. This just looks like you defending you irrational hatred of Sony. I mean, you don't post here for months at a time and only pop up when updates are released to whine and moan in every slightly related thread. Sell your phone and move on if it causes you to do that!

Stop talking trash. I prefer Sony way of updating, it takes time but SURELY get its job done. The changes in UI and optimization speaks the truth.

Mind you, currently I have samsung note 3, samsung update (ex: MK7) was trash. Battery drain was a huge let-down.
[Xperia Z General] washoowashoo:
Sigh some people just cant be pleased enough even if sony is already getting their job done. The more sony gets their actions done, Consumers just get more and more demanding just as kids asking for more chocolates and gets tantrums when they didnt get enough.

xperia z
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Again more fanboy talk that only makes sense to other fanboys.

The HTC one and S4 launched with the full set of new 2013 software that's why there were no changes apart from the base android updates.

The xperia z on the other hand launched with Sony's 2012 software and is only got new stuff in December of 2013. Why? Because Sony held that stuff back for the release of the Z1. Pathetic and greedy I must add.

The xperia z has since I got it in February ran virtually identical software to what was on my xperia s. 2012 business apart from the pointless stamina mode and some subtle changes to the camera app. Only now does it feel like a 2013 device. That's an appalling way to treat a flagship that cost over £500 at launch.

It's simple, Sony are just greedy bastards!
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
How comes that the s4 with "2013 software" performs way worse xperia z with "2012 software"?

Yes sammy updates are soo good.

It seems s4 runs 2011 bloatware.

Sent from my white Xperia™Z
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
From what I know of my girls s4,it runs pretty well and performs much better in games than the Z even now with the 4.3 update.

You're living in the past fanboy, the s4 received updates long time ago that resolved the performance issues at launch.

For your info, I happen to think the Z is an all round better phone than the s4. Better build quality and better camera despite all the tech blog crap. All my own experiments with both cameras has shown the Z's to be superior.

This is not about Sony hating, I've been using their devices since the dark x10 days. This is about the simple truth that Sony's software support is much worse than Samsung.

They've improved in terms of quantity ie the Z getting 4.4 but as far as timing goes, they are still behind the competition. When you consider that their software is actually one of the leanest and closest to stock, it makes the late timing even more unforgivable!

I'll guarantee you this, the s4 will see 4.4 at least 2 months before the Z does.

I don't want to hear that bull**** about the number of phones they support. No body forces them to go down that insane road of manufacturing so many different models of what are essentially pocket computers and as a result, not supporting any one of those devices well because of stretched resources.

Once again, it's just got greed written all over it!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Sell it and move on. You obviously hate Sony, despite claiming otherwise.

Everyone will be better off not having to read your constant complaining.

FYI, disagreeing with you does not make anyone a 'fanboy' (I hate that term and it's normally used by the worst kind of person).

Edit : I have just reported this thread. It serves no purpose and is now full of pointless, baseless complaining from the same people that were doing it 6 months ago.

Hopefully the mod that sees it agrees.
[Xperia Z General] washoowashoo:
fanboy? lol. dont get me wrong sir.. it just so happen i had more patience over other people here who keeps on persisting on updates then cry if it gets buggy.

you sure performance issues were resolved at launch for samsung? i think not.. or, possible might be entirely different here. ofcourse s4 is like 10:1 over sony here and most of them had bug issues since the update and if there were any minor updates from samsung, it didnt resolve their problems. I DONT CARE! LOL. every update that i get from sony have been solid and i dont have any complaints.

i have to agree that sony is behind this update things/support. but id rather wait for a more optimized major update than a rushed buggy update. its just that updates arent THAT big deal for me. :cyclops:

edit - add: what do you call a person who owns sony products since x10 days and knows alot about sonys support and and knows other companies with better consumer support but STILL complains about sonys updates? thinking about how you call people fanboys. -_-

[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Why you think sammy builds in 3 gb ram in the note 3?

Because their software is bloated as hell and eats up half the ram.

I saw an s4 which had 50 mb free ram whereas my xz never goes below 500 mb.

And yes the games lag if you have installed many apps + running touchwiz, no matter if you have a 1,9 ghz quad core.

It's extremely disgusting to see someone heated up about Android updates. As if the phone will fail to function without Kit Kat. Get a life and don't terrorise this place.
[Xperia Z General] Nameless One:
It probably has at least a little to do with the system process of garbage collection (where the system frees unused memory that running programs appear to have finished with), the more free memory the system has to use during garbage collection the faster it is, the less free memory it has available the slower garbage collection is. As you use up more and more memory, the less there is for garbage collection potentially leading to more sluggish performance.

Details and much, much more here: http://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow/

I don't want to get into a debate about the quality of Samsung's code, but given that not everybody sticks with just what the manufacturer provides, saying that it is the manufacturer's fault is a pathetically simplistic view of things.

We dont need fast updates, we need to be in the updates not to wait like kids waiting santa for gifts, some info from sony can relax us will not affect their strategies
[Xperia SP General] codemonkey98:
You purchased an OEM device, thus you will have to wait till it goes through the long process like any other OEM stock ROM. Plenty of companies or OEMs do not give information on their updates until a week or two before they are pushed out to carriers.
[Xperia SP General] wedgess:
I have to agree with all the above comments, the update will be out when SONY are ready I think it is too early for a petition thread maybe in a few months if there is no update this thread would be useful. SONY will just ignore the petition rite now, be patient, otherwise a Nexus is the way to go for timely updates.
