[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King salac:
First greeting to everyone ￼ !

This may not be a problem but I have to ask because it is a very mixed emotions regarding software upgrades on Sony Xperia Z namely what it is.

I currently have on my Xperia Z stock software J.B 4.1 my qestion and care is next:

If I'm update my phone to KitKat 4.4

How mutch ram memory using KitKat is it use more or less ram memory from J.B refers to

the normal operation of the phone?

(now under J.B my phone spending 1GB of ram i hope KitKat using less ram)!

And second question is refers to the heating device if heated more or less playing or working?(now my phone have solid heat when im gaming and not eny heat when i working browzing and other stuff)

Now that you know about what is dilema and would any help welcome ￼

I hope that some of you have already upgraded the software on Xperia Z and I can say firsthand some professional things about my questions!

Thanks in advice ￼

And here we go again... What is people's obsession with having oodles of free ram....?

Also, this should probably be in Q&A section.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King salac:
if You do not know what you'll say do not say anything!

My qestion is totaly valid so better if you write something clever and specific than writing criticism!!!

Admin move post to right section!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
Calm down bro ;)

resource wise KK is lighter than JB (in vanilla android atleast)

Ram usage will depend on what applications are running in the background

The reason why your phone is heating up while gaming is because it will put strain on both CPU and GPU, it will be the same if you use KK also

Many people have issue with battery life in KK.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
I actually find the ram usage on JB is less than KitKat and the device temperature is the same on all android version for me

Tapatalk'ed from my Xperia™ Z (C6602) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King salac:
Ok mate dont worry ;) !

I dont use lot of app and standard stock sony but like i said what is usage of ram memory in standby on Kitkat versus J.B thats the real question!

Just to said when my phone is in standby app that are running the example look at the picture belov:

Example 1

Example 2

Thats all app that working in my phone all the time about 10-12app More or less!

My question remain is kitkat stock sony lighter(as O.S) than J.B?

Ouu but i don't have no problem with the heating so I just wanted to find out whether the gaming under Kitkat heat more phon then gaming under J.B if anyone knows from personal experience!

Im gaming on my Xperia Z just fine and no excessive heating of phone ;) !

The batteru is fine I am satisfied with the length!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King salac:
Can somevone please post a screenshot of running app in

K.K O.S like i did in J.B O.S

it would help me a lot :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Free RAM is wasted RAM. There is no point in obsessing about how much free RAM you have at any one time, unless a poorly coded app has a memory leak or something. Android will automatically free some RAM if it's needed in normal usage.

There is no problem with the RAM management in the stock KitKat rom, so it's safe to upgrade. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
I have 1.1 GB ram free
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavster26:
This is my typical free ram but my device is deodexed with lots of mods. plus the sony media apps updates and features are better which in turn make them bigger which takes more ram.

Rebooting your phone may help, 20 days without switching off...?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmesam89:
RE:

Hi,

I have 1Gb of Free Ram on KK.

I think you must alteast update to 4.3 or 4.2.2 if you want to be on JB

as 4.2.2 provies bugs update and also better temp managemant which will reduce your heating.

and 4.3 provied better fast and smooth UI and less of lags and more free RAm.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technaudio:
For the god-knows-how-many-th time;
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
LOL. It seems many people are still ingrained in the old ways of Windows, where RAM management was awful and have a need to see a lot of free RAM when they check.

There is no need to ever check in a normally functioning Android/Linux OS. The only time I ever see how much RAM is in use is if I have to enter the "Apps" section of the settings for some other reason.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King salac:
I have to 1Gb free ram like you see on example so no discussion about that ! I dont have any bug on JB 4.1 or heating problems like i said in previous post its working just fine!

But thanks on the info about free ram ;) !

:) i got my anserver so, sory about other peple interested too about free ram seams to me its a popular question :cool:

Ok i know that but i need a strait anserver just to be sure mate ;) !

But thanks for the info anywau!

No need for that my phone running without a glitch

See picture below:

And i dont have feeling like i must to restart my phone for me restart is a last of last of last options so no need for that ;) !

Anywau thanks to all :) I got my anservers now i know what i need to doo!

Maybe this post will hel some other people too ;) !

I tried to install it with multirom but it reboots. So if anyone can try to install it normally I would like to hear if it works or if anyone finds a way to install it with multirom.
[Nexus 4 General] sachak:
I am having the same problem as well. I am just backing up my rom then i will try again without another rom installed.
[Nexus 4 General] Basti756:
Please report if it works that way. I can't wait to get back home and give it a try myself
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:
No go on my end, normally. I'm gonna try again
[Nexus 4 General] carepack:
not working with multirom as secondary in my case. But as primary it works. I've selcted the dev package with over 300mb. So enjoy the (I'm not liking) os
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:
Yes. I just flashed the nightly September 1 and it booted. Hung on google for a minute then booted up. Five minutes later I went back to Android.
[Nexus 4 General] carepack:
wow. You we're able to be on 5 minutes ;)? I think it was for me at least 3. Ugly system. Not disrespectful but I don't like the ui. It's an early stage version. Maybe they will implement good parts. Somwhere, sometimes.
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:
Yeah, I gave it two more minutes just trying to get the time set. Its kinda bad all the way around. I spent more time in recovery backing up and restoring than I did on the ROM.
[Nexus 4 General] x000x:
they had, and still have the best multitasking on a mobile device i've ever used. it was just so fluid and intuitive. some of their features they incorporated are still ahead of their time today
[Nexus 4 General] yelti:
I have tested it, and I can't get it to work properly.

When I use the stable version, I have gsm signal, but I cannot make calls and have no wifi.(Disable sim pin otherwise It won't work at all)

With the nightly I have no gsm signal at all, wifi starts scanning but doesn't find any wireless networks.

without internet, not much you can do.

I wonder if it has to do with the radio versions?

As for the rest, it's quite buggy and laggy but doable.

I just don't like the way they implemented the pre's hardware button/gesture area :s
[Nexus 4 General] Darakian:
I've been chatting with the devs on irc (#webos-ports on freenode). They're doing all their builds off of android version 4.2.2. No one is quite sure if that matters, but they recommended starting from there as they used some hooks that may have changed. If you're having issues try flashing to android 4.2.2 then to luneos.
[Nexus 4 General] x.0ni.x:
​

Can anybody give me a link to a build here i can try out?
[Nexus 4 General] syedyasin:
check out http://webos-ports.org/wiki/Mako_Info for stable and nightly links..
[Nexus 4 General] x.0ni.x:
But which one???:confused: it's a jumbled mess and idk what to download
[Nexus 4 General] syedyasin:
webos-ports-package-mako.zip in stable link files...
[Nexus 4 General] X-TraxxX:
WebOS

Great to see we have another option added to the list. Ubuntu touch was working well too.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vexfox:
Has anyway found a way to Root the OnePlus One without having to flash a custom recovery with the new 33R OTA?

(yes I didn't check the CM recovery)

*But after I updated to the 33R update I still had root access intact, despite gaining root by boot and not having unlocked the bootloader under 33R. The problem was I did a factory reset and obviously it reflashed the newer bootloader and I lost root access (yes stupid)

This can no longer be done 'fastboot boot twrpimgname.img' with the 33R update ;

Aren't One Plus all about give you the power so why did they go ahead and block boot custom recovery that worked before ??

This is the under 33R OTA =

C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader

C:\adb>fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-bacon.img

downloading 'openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-bacon.img'...

OKAY [ 0.402s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)

finished. total time: 0.404s

Seems the have patched being able to boot a custom recovery without unlocking the boot loader

Yes I realized the the 'Update CM recovery' option but not after I updated to 33R (my oneplus was rooted without having to unlock the boot loader)

I did do a Nandriod backup of course before the 33R OTA.

The nandriod backup is rooted without having to unlock the bootloader via this ' fastboot boot twrpimgname.img '

Is their no way yet to boot a custom recovery without unlocking the boot loader ? Does one have to wait for a update twrp recovery to boot not flash ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
The question is: WHY?

the locked bootloader is locked because it allows only booting a signed recovery, if you use a custom-unsigned-by-manufacturer recovery there is no sense in keeping the bootloader locked.....

OnePlus knows that 90% of the users are rooting and unlocking, so there is no sense to keep it unlocked.... in case of necessity, you can relock the bootloader !!!

Anyway, you wrote in the wrong section !!!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vexfox:
What area is the right one, my bad.

Also asking if their is a way around the 33R to boot custom recovery
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Why though?? You don't need to boot to a custom recovery. Just unlock the bootloader, it doesn't void your warranty. You have absolutely nothing to lose by doing it, and absolutely nothing to gain by leaving it locked.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perilla_:
Just an innocent wipe... and he only wants root.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yeah and the right way to get root is to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP, and flash SuperSU.

Back stuff up, unlock bootloader, restore stuff. It's stupid to try to 'hack' into the world's easiest phone to root.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -fluffy-:
go back to 25R an root it

then untick the update recovery in develop settings

install recovery twrp

now remember to have the update recovery

install the 33R

with twrp an in the end choose fix permissions

now u can download from phone it will come up to fully root

just hit fully root an install with twrp

it will download root

an restart in recovery wait fore it to finnish an u are now rooted on 33R

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Has the map file been copied across as well?

I take it you have installed this to your storage card on the MicroSD. Are you sure the MSD was large enough to take the installation?

Have you got the GPS unit recognised and working with TomTom?

[General Questions and Answers] Lele1:
Often installing an Antivirus does not protect your computer from viruses. The main reason for this is the fact that Antivirus is not updated regularly. Having an outdated Antivirus is of no use in protecting your PC from Virus Attack. But there are some basic precautions that we all can take to prevent Virus from entering your PC.

90 % of viruses enter our PC through Pen Drives. But this can be prevented even without having an Antivirus. Let's see how it can be done.

1. Open My Computer / Tools / Folder Options / View

2. Turn on Show Hidden Files And Folders. Most of the viruses come as hidden files. So enabling this feature helps to find them.

3. Now when you insert the Pen drive don't open it directly. If you open it by Auto Run or by Double Clicking, our PC will be attacked by the VIRUS if present in the Pen Drive.

4. Now open Start Menu / Search / For Files and Folders.

5. Here in the advance options Check "Search for Hidden Files and Folders".

6. Now select the Pen drive and search for autorun.inf file.

7. If you get one, in most cases it will be an Auto run for VIRUS.

8. Delete it if not Genuine.

9. Now look for all the .exe and .com files.

10. Delete all those suspicious files you get.

11. Remove the pen drive and insert It again.

12. Now the Pen drive is Safe and Free from Viruses.

13. Also 90 % of users use pen drives to transfer pictures, Songs and Movies.

14. Its Better to copy only the needed files from the Pen drive by using above search method.

Hope these tips are useful for you

Thanks!

Thank you, your advice will be considered.

Cheers! :)

[Android Apps and Games] StarStoneGames:
Hello :)

This option has been available since version 1.1.0, via the addition of selectable outfits. However this has been superseded in the latest update by a color selector. The color selector allows you to mix and match colors, producing a wide variety of combos!
