[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artyomska:
Hello Xda. I have a Sony Xperia Z, stock rom, locked bootloader , non-rooted and with android 4.3 (10.4.B.0.569, Belgium version). All of my games lags on this device ( asphalt 8 , subway surf, even fruit ninja sometimes). Except games, nothing lags (menu, transition between apps etc). I tried many of the 10.4.B.0.569 build versions (singapore, switzerland, australia version ) but nothing changes. Strangely is that on .267 version the menu, album, camera was laggy, but not the games. Anyone knows what can I do to resolve the lag problem? (root or changing the phone from stock isn't an option, because I don't want to lose warranty).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boyob32:
You won't lose warranty by rooting mate..

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemer12:
its wierd because it lags... serioulsy..maybe u have a phone with faulty hardware.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coirpre:
You can Try the Repair-option in the Sony PC companion. be AWARE that you might lose all your data, but the program will warn you again if this risk exists.

A better option would be to flash a Stock rom with flashtool and datawipe unticked. If you feel unsure about using flashtool, this thread should help. If,

after

reading it you still feel unsure, ask me via PM, I might be able to help you.

If you don't want to mess around with flashing and things like that, you can tap settings/about phone/build number a few times and play with the developer options, especially the categoty "hardware-accelerated rendering". be aware that the developer options can (very very rarely) have unexpected behavour like forceclosing apps. It has been a long while since it last happened to me, but just go untick whatever you did and it will be fine again. do not simulate a secondary screen if you have that option.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:
I have this lag as well. I have not been able to identify why.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coirpre:
logcating the phone gives lots of vsync delay messages, could be the problem. (use logcat extreme and see for yourself.)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:
Do you know how to disable logcat?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coirpre:
needs to be kernel-level. but why would you want that?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:
To free the system resources it takes up to write it. Besides, logcat files could take up several hundred megabytes of internal memory on my I9100.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
I play a stupid game called Kiwi Dash, after a while the phone gets hot, really hot, on the back, next to the camera, you know, where the processor is located :P

Well, when it gets hot the lags appears, I had previously a CPU meter and I came to the conclusion that when it gets hot it slows down the CPU, one time in the summer it reached 50 celsius, even the home screen was laggy! So I bet that our foe is the overheated CPU....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coirpre:
never had that problem with the i9100, but I'm sure you can find a kernel with logs disabled somwhere in the Original Android Development sub-forum...

It is well known that this device has a overheat protection "thermal throttling". It slows down the CPU if the phone is in danger of overheating. you could try to run the game at 720p instead of 1080 via xposed module to see if it is easier on the chips. but the hardware stays 1080p, so the load on the chips wil stay comparatively high...

Hello citizens,

I was wondering if it was possible to have have a menu bar at the bottom of the tablet (like on the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1) on the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1?

Since I'm using the tablet in a casing, the bottom button (Home, Back, etc) are hidden. Is it possible to do it without making new casings?

P.S.In a future cutom rom maybe?

[General Questions and Answers] mdawdy:
To get my S4 mini to connect to Kies i needed these two pieces of info ...

FIRST:

To unlock the Dev Options menu, go to Settings -> About Device and scroll down to the "Build Number."

Now, tap on your "Build Number" five times, and you should see a toast notification pop up saying "Developer mode has been enabled."

Voilà! Back out of the About Device menu and you'll see Dev Options back where it belongs, so you can turn on USB Debugging and whatever else you want to.

SECOND

Enable USB debugging mode on the phone.

Tap on Settings >> Developer options >> USB debugging mode.

it should be turned ON.

1. Turn off the handset.

2. Remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds.

3. Reinsert the battery and turn ON the device.

>> Turn OFF (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS) if turned ON.

>> Start a fresh connection between phone and the computer using compatible Samsung USB cable.

>> Try with different USB ports available on your computer.

I do not know if this will help you; hope it does

Hi All,

I just got myself a new O2 XDA MiniS. Like a self respecting techie, the first thing I did was to upgrade the ROM to a newer one available on http://xda.o2.co.uk/. Thereafter I connected my XDA to my home wifi and clicked on Pocket MSN. After it logged me on to MSN messenger, the device has become so slow that I cant even open task manager and kill the stupid app!! Is there anything like "ctrl+alt+del" in XDA? Soft resets using the button on the upper side of XDA doesnt solve it either. Would I have to do a hard reset?

Another thing is the headphones supplied with the device. They are absolute crap. I can hear sound only from on speaker and that too without good sound quality. Can I somewhere get another set and make my XDA sound like my iPod Nano?

Being a complete n00b in PocketPC/XDA arena, I feel some critical topics should be flagged at the first page in the forums, or given a different section altogether. This will save many people from scathing thru 70 odd pages of this forum.

I feel the topics should be;

1. Upgrading your wizard HOW-TO

2. Performance tuning HOW-TO

3. PocketPC common tasks

4. Essential Software for your XDA

5. How to do what you used to do with your mobile phone and Windows XP in XDA/Pocket PC

6. (add what you can think of here...)

I know its all there in the forums, but this is just to make it simpler for newbies to locate it.

Hoping to be a useful contributor,

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsangaris:
I have a very strange problem on my Nexus 5.

Some times when i receive an incoming call, i hear the ringtone, the device vibrates but i dont see anything on my display. Just a black screen, Also pressing the power button, i see the lock screen, unlocking the phone will not show the call either. if i select the dialer application i get the screen in the dialer with 3 options:

1) use touch tone keypad

2)return to call in process

3)add call

By pressing "return to call in process" nothing happens.

The problem is gone after restarting the device.

I read somewhere that this may be a proximity sensor problem due to screen protectors. I removed mine, and it continued having the problem.

Is there anything i can do to fix it [reseting the phone will be the last resort].

Thanks

Can you get into bootloader so you can flash the factory image? Did you press the power button for about 10-15 seconds to force boot first.

Mine boots up as supposed to. Today i didn't have the incident.

Is this not a common problem?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frog1982:
Are you running stock or a custom ROM and if so what rom. Also if you could pull a logcat it could be easier to diagnose.

P.S. have you tried clearing data for the dialer app.

Also clearing dialer data will impact my call log history?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If you are worried about losing your call logs, they can be backed up a ton of different ways. When I don't have root, I use this:

Very lightweight and easy to use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsangaris:
Thanks for the tip!

I was talking to my brother today (he is a Nexus 4 owner) and he told me that after updating from 4.3 to 4.4 he had the same problem. He could only solve it by restarting his device. So i guess, this is a dialer bug. Clearing dialer data i dont think will help..

My brother's N4 running 4.3 never had a problem. As soon as it updated to 4.4 he is having the problem.. Rarely but the problem is still there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsangaris:
This problem is getting on my nerves!!

I hope 4.4.3 solves a lot of bugs of N5! Its a shame that an excellent device like this causes such problems.

Also another problem my friends are reporting, is that, they call me, it rings 3 times and then it hangs like if the device is powered off or i canceled the call. And i dont even hear it ring, or find an answered call.

Is there a chance all these problems to be linked on my provider?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsangaris:
I started thinking that maybe its caused by a 3rd-party application, but it seems that other Nexus 5 owners experiencing the same problem as well..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsangaris:
After some thinking i used factory reset on my device yesterday evening just to rule out the possibility below:

As soon as i have purchased the device Google Now wasn't available. So i read in a forum that in order to fix this you have to somehow trick the device that you are situated in a country where Google Now is available. So i downloaded an app (GPS fixing??) and positioned my device to UK, remove something and then install it again(Google services). That fixed the problem and Google Now was available.

Maybe something went wrong there and i was experiencing these problems..

So far so good. Then again to be sure if that was the problem i have to give it at least 2 weeks.

I will get back to you for the results.

Just curious what everybody is setting their cpu minimum frequencies at. I am not too concerned with battery life so I was thinking of setting mine a little higher to keep everything as smooth as possible. Is there a risk to raising the minimum frequency?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
I think you would benefit more from choosing another governor instead :) Try intellidemand or interactive := Both of these should be better than ondemand
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebee269:
i have mine set at 300000 so when my phone goes into deep sleep it's using little cpu power, but i also have interactive governor so that when i turn the screen on there's no delay and the kernel and cpu have what they need to be snappy.

this thread tells you all you need to know about governors and i/o schedulers.

It can go to stock bootloader without problem!

Hum, probably a bad flash and the solution it to flash it again, but i guess you can't since it was an OTA.

If you have a backup, you can try to hard reset it from the Bootloader and see if it works.

You could also unlock the bootloader, and flash a stock rom.

You have to google it, i'm sure some other had the same problem.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gartner83:
When it happened to me, I just held down the power button for a half a minute and rebooted to Android again and downloaded the OTA again(first time it asks you to install an update, you cancel it, because it's the data that's still downloaded from before and it's corrupted, then you download it again). No unlocking, no RUU flashing.

You just probably downloaded a corrupted OTA data, that's why you got the red triangle.

No,if you can't access Android OS, then you can either try to factory reset trough recovery. Maybe that helps.

If not,and if a service center is not an option,then you have to unlock your bootloader,flash the latest TWRP recovery(recommended,you can flash CWM instead) and then flash custom ROM.

What's your firmware number? Install a ROM that goes with your firmware number. For instance don't install Sense ROM if you have GE firmware installed.

When you get this right, S-off your phone and everything will be easier from there. And like I said, don't upgrade your phone to a too high version because not all versions of firmware are supported(I think so, I'm not sure).
