[Xperia Z General] Sc00p007:
Hi everyone,

I owned a "purple" xperia z since launch. I loved it and purple is my colour!

Anyway, I lived in the uk for 6 months with the z. Then I moved to Bangkok in September.

I used to read peoples reviews, saying that their z lagged. Well in the uk, this was not a problem. But when I moved to Bangkok, I started to relate to these problems. The phone got so hot it would lag (I am a heavy user).

But I could live with this, because in my opinion, the z is the nicest looking and most premium feeling phone.

Then, last week I lost my precious z. I lost an arm. But, because I love tech, I decided to try out a different phone. I bought an s4.

Now after a week of use, here is my opinion.....

My s4 doesnt lag in bangkok. It is as smooth as my z in the cooler climate of the uk.

Also, the display. It is so so much better, even after all sony updates. So I guess that is 2 up for samsung

But!!!! I miss the build and feel and look of my xperia. Maybe I am vein, but I felt so much prouder to hold the z in my hand than the s4.

Also, I miss the ui and sony apps. The album and walkman app are so much better than the s4 variants. Also the ui, it feels so much more professional and not big and childish like on the s4.

Moral of my story? Well neither is better than the other. They just have different strengths.

For me the z excells in build, looks, ui and essential apps. Whilst the s4 excels in display and speed in a hot climate.

So, do I miss my z? Yes yes yes! Would I swap my s4 for another z? No.

But this is because I am enjoying a different experience now.

If I owned an s4 first, then bought a z. I honestly think I would still say the same eg.... would I swap my z for an s4? No no no!

They are both great phones, with different strengths and weaknesses.

I hope this helps people who are on the fence.

[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
the s4 throttles much later than the z, so in hot regions it will be faster, but my experience showed the z to be faster because s4 runs bloatwiz.

[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
And if you root the s4 to remove the bloatwiz or flash a custom ROM , you will trigger the "knox. 0x1 - warranty void" efuse. (Unless you stay on JB 4.2 forever) :p

I moved from iPhone 4s to galaxy s4 and now to Xperia Z.

I love the same premium feel I had in iPhone . and the over saturated colors of the s4 weren't my cuppa tea.

LCD panels have much natural colorz and are much easier on the eyes. also, they have excel lint such light legibility.

[Xperia Z General] adamtan:
i live a little south of Bangkok, Singapore to be exact. Same warm climate (infact higher annual average temperatures in Singapore)

Never had the problem of lag and all.

In fact with the recent cold spells in Bangkok, the phone theoretically should run at lower temperatures according to you,

I was in Bangkok last month and didn't have any performance improvement with my Z
[Xperia Z General] Sc00p007:
I think there is a vast difference in temperature between north uk and Bangkok. I haven't lived in Singapore, but im pretty sure the diiference in temperature you are talking about is not as large as what my original post refers to.

I am going to guess, that the temperature in Bangkok is enough to take my z over the threshold. So if I experience lag here. I would presume I would have the same lag in a hotter singapore. Also I would have to presume, if the temperature isnt vastly different. Then maybe the speed in which this lag occurs is too small to notice.

Again, I am only giving my experience as a guideline for others to ponder. I use social media a lot. I found in bangkok that my keyboard would start to lag. At the same time the phone was really hot. In the uk this was not a problem. Maybe it happened on occasion, but here it happened much much more.

Thanks man for sharing your experience..thanks for the info..I was about to buy Xperia Z for my girl friend on valentines.
[Xperia Z General] joejoe23:
I think the z would suit a girl more than the s4.
[Xperia Z General] Sc00p007:
I actually agree with this. Maybe your girl is a tech head! But really if she is like many girls I know, then she will like the Z more. It looks so much more sleek.
[Moto X Q&A] Chahk:
Just got my wife a new GSM SIM-unlocked Moto X. It's not a developer edition, so unlocking the bootloader is out of the question. I also have not rooted it yet, and would prefer not to. After fully setting it up and downloading all her apps from the Play Store (no TiBu or Helium restores), I saw that the battery almost drained overnight (fully charged to ~30% in under 8 hours). Looking at the battery stats, I see that "Android System" took over 80% of usage, and its "Keep awake" is almost the same amount as "on battery" time. Basically the phone is not sleeping. I imagine with even light usage it would drain even faster.

Are there any non-root tools out there to let me see what's keeping the phone awake?
[Moto X Q&A] nyamoV2:
Gsam gives you an idea but it's not as helpful without root. 4.4 does have a bug with the is using a lot of resources. I found a reboot usually fixes the problem
[Moto X Q&A] UncleMike:
After having my Moto X for about 3 Weeks, my battery was almost dead after about 10 hours off charger, and it had been held awake the entire time. I was unable to identify the culprit before the battery died. Afterwards, I installed Gsam, and the problem had not happened since (about 7 weeks without issue).

Based on my own experience, I think your problem was an isolated incident.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcav5:
For some unknown reason after I press the power button to bring the phone back out of standby the screen is defaulting to the power save setting for the backlight (which means no backlight/dark screen) I have to goto the brightness setting under backlight and slide the bar back to the middle in order to light the screen. It never did this before and I did not change anything. It would just come back on tho the normal backlight setting (in the middle of the bar). If anyone knows why this would happen or if there is a setting in the reg I can do. Please help as I really do not want to do a hard reset and reload everything. I did do a soft reset, but it did not do anything.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] harleyxlc:
Wish I could help. I have had that happen several times. Sometimes it clears itself up, last time I had to hard reset. I never did figure out what caused it...

Try searching, I know others have had the issue, too.

Tested ROM...initial impressions

Dialer, Contacts, Messaging apps work fine. Was able import contacts and send a few SMS messages.

CANNOT make phonecalls. Dialer and com.phone force close.

Wifi fails to start. Did not test Wifi directs as I have no compatible devices around.

Bluetooth works and I was able to pair this phone(I9070) to another(Galaxy Mini :D).

Mobile Data is working. Did some web browsing with Chrome and it was almost lag free.

Launcher UI is very smooth and there is lots of free RAM.

Camera is NOT working.

Battery life is O.K. Although I have tested this for just couple of hours I observed no battery drain.

Gaming is O.K. Temple Run 2 and Dead Trigger lagged a little. Subway Surf, Ninjump and Jetpack Joyride worked fined.

Video Playback is bad. Using software decoder I was able to play 720p videos and it was a horrible. Same video was play without issues on stock JB. :confused:

H/W and H/W+ decoders are not working and MX Player force closes.

BTW the logcat file I recorded is about 6MB. I zipped that file and attached.

That sounds weird. Maybe try clearing the data on the walkman app? Your not doing anything funky like streaming the music through the walkman player are you? Have you tried with several songs from different artists/albums?

I tried clearing the data but still get the same effect. No i havent tried streaming at all to be honest and I get the same problem on every song i try to add as a favourite. I havent found anyone else with this problem on google so im hoping its just a minor bug or something i dont know :-s
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1k1v1:
I will be eternally grateful if you can help me.

So half an hour ago I was browsing the Internet on my phone when it suddenly turned off. Then it started to start at the Galaxy I9300GT black screen, and booting on that black screen. And the biggest problem is that I cant access to the Recovery Menu (I have latest Philz)

I have not tried to remove the battery, nor accessing the Download Menu, since I am in class now and I cant return to home in about 4 hours. Also, I was using NeatRom 6.3, boeffla kernel 5.1 beta 17, and in the last flashing I formatted the internal SD card, so basically I did a clean install. I can not guess what is happening. This is similar to when I had a brick installing some Xposed software, and I solved it installing old CWM recovery, which I could access into, and basically wiping the hell of it. Is this a problem of Xposed....Or am I facing a SDS..in Android 4.3....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Partition corruption during the unplanned shut down, without recovery you will need Odin to flash a full stock rom or philz.

If you are lucky the emmc chip is still okay, this exact same thing happened to me once.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1k1v1:
Luckily I can access to the Recovery Menu....but for some seconds. Its weird. When I am in the Select Option screen (the one which says if you proceed or you cancel and restart the phone) it shows for some seconds until it then starts again at the title screen, like it autoreboots. Also, there is some insane battery drain, because the back of my phone is somewhat hot. I tried to remove the battery, and plug it again, and although I could not access to the recovery menu for a while later I could get back to the recovery...until it fade off like I previously describe.

Luckily I too have a full stock ROM stored in my home computer. But as I said to you before I had Philz installed and it doesnt show up. So I am planning to install the old Clockworkmod, because the last time I experienced something similar it worked for me.

So, basically, do you think I should be fast and get to the Odin menu before the Select Option screen fades off and gets back to the booting title? And also, what can I do to prevent partition corruption? Is there a way to avoid having that problem again? Mind that before flashing the ROM I formatted the SD card, so it was clean install...

For these moments I will keep the battery on the phone, I dont want more unexpected problems, but I fear for it, since it is consuming battery slowly....

And, if it happens that the emmc chip is not okay...what could I do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You mean download mode, where you volume up to connect with Odin. If download mode is weird then you may have bigger problems.

To prevent future partition corruption you need to avoid unplanned shut downs -kernel panic due to mods are a likely cause.

I would suggest removing the battery until you can use Odin, there is no point in leaving it to drain.

If the emmc chip is dead then a new motherboard is required.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1k1v1:
Dude.....I dont know what happened....its REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY WEIRD.

I REPAIRED IT BY FLASHING CWM.

I could access to Odin, which was Version 3.04 "Model Name :)", and then flashed the Clockworkmod, version 6.0.3.2.

And then automatically the phone booted again! I could get to the Neat ROM working again!

Sincerely, I dont know it this was a kernel problem, seeing as how an old CWM got the phone working again. I just cant explain it. I hope you can, because I am now confused and scared of changing to another recovery, seeing how this old CWM works even better than Philz.

I even tried to reboot the phone twice, and it has worked. Strangely the boot sound from Neat ROM has been activated. CWM asked me if I wanted to disable flash to stock recovery option, and I ticked no. It then followed that it may flash stock recovery and lose root access, and event then I ticked no. But when I restarted the ROM I had the root access, and as I said I rebooted twice to recovery, and had CWM, so it was kinda...ok. Maybe Neat ROM doesnt flash the stock Sammy kernel as default option, who knows...

I havent done any wipe, seeing as this is working wonderfully again, without any problem whatsoever...which is reeeally weird. Yeah, I am shocked that I somewhat magically fixed it. Normally this takes about 2 hours...lol.

Also, I have more questions for you. You talked about unplanned shut downs, due to kernel panic because of mods installed. Can you explain this kernel panic thing to me, or share with me a link to a post that explains this problem? And more, do you know about a kernel that doesnt "panic" so much? I have Boeffla 5.1 beta 17, but I am questionig keeping using this, since this problem...

Or maybe it was a panic caused by the recovery? Can recoveries origin such problems? And what recovery do you recommend? Because CWM seems rock stable to me...

Oh, and thanks for your help. I removed the battery as you said...and now that my phone is working again I could check that it was at 20% battery...thank you, I could save a little battery for an emergency flashing thanks to you :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1k1v1:
Also, this morning while turning on the phone I noticed that there was no boot sound when showing the Neat ROM animation...why suddenly the ROM stopped using the boot sound, when last night it was active after flashing the CWM recovery? I even rebooted the phone twice that night and the sound was activated...but not this morning, why?

Actually boot sound is not a very important feature for me but I am puzzled of why it was working before and not now, and that without touching any boot options....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1k1v1:

Android system and android battery use are 17% and 14 %

When i pull the develober options and trigger the cpu usage to see the

Using much cpu and ram even in idle state

I tried googling the issue but didnt find a real solution

In less than 4 hours my battery lost 75% of the charging and there is just

25% left

Im using cyanogenmod 10.1 stable woth googymax kernel

Well, here's the actual description of your error

I had similar problems with Macfee AV. I got a solution from some great person on this forum that the native win xp sp2 firewall gets messed up with the AV software and just prevents the sync even if you have Activesync in your exceptions list. I tried disabling the windows xp firewall and to my surprise the sync worked perfectly fine.

Not a good solution, but worth giving it a try. I will try to get somemore details on what can be done about this soon.
