[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominozh:
I did a clean flash of factory images. Overall all I'm happy that this tablet got android 5.0. Most of the lag is due the system partion is all filled up. I just used my fx file manager and deleted a few system apps that I never use, like google wallet, phone.apk, even chrome because I prefer to use Dolphin browser. Now my system partion has more then 50mb and it seems to help a lot with the occasional lag here and there that I experienced.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beint:
I loaded the factory image from Google, and found that my device was lagging as hell after installing apps, all stock. I did a factory reset from settings and installed apps again, and after that My N7 runs smooth, virtually no lags at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pzboyz:
I would say after a few days, most of the time my Nexus 7 is now working well. A few short pauses once every other days or so, but not a major annoyance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keydogg1:
I must admit the last few days of using my Nexus has been a drag. At first when I installed lollipop (as you can see by my previous replies) I was really happy with it, but after a few days it has slowed down to the point where it is a 10-15 second wait just to load up chrome or facebook.

I think I'm going to root and stick PA on as I did with my old unit in 2013.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankusb:
Did the OTA sideload - got massive lag on everything. It hasn't been this bad since right before they turned on discard and then fstrim. And it looks like that may be exactly the problem. See this bug report.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxaxel:
Better than before

I was really annoyed by the performance of my Nexus 7 (16GB) with KitKat. It improved a little when I formatted the cache partition and cleaned the app caches but still laggy and freezing.

What I did was: I downloaded the Lollipop OTA (from the post here in XDA), rebooted in the recovery, format cache, sideload the OTA and reboot.

I have to say that I am surprised by the new performance, it is definitely better than before, it is not freeze free and there is some lag here and there but definitely better. I do not know about storage and I hope this performance will remain as it is when it has more usage.

By the way I really like the new look, clean and simple.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChunksOfLemon:
I did exactly that and am quite happy with the results.

There is the occasional hiccup but way better than it has been since jellybean.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbowens:
This worked perfectly for me! I used a different app to get rid of some of the system apps, but the results were the same, and wow, what a difference. The crippling lag I had before is completely gone. Thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andw93:
I'm the only who have the headphones working in mono intstead of stereo? I flashed two times. In the first flash the audio from headphones was in mono,so i reflashed and the headphones audio was finally in stereo,but today its mono? I'm the only one with this bug? How i can fix this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Probably just junk in the port, look in there.. A straight pin can pick stuff out, just be careful.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andw93:
Sorry but i dont understand,i'm not good with the english. What do you mean?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbowens:
khaytsus means that you probably have dust or debris in the physical headphone port on your tablet; the little round hole you plug the headphones into. You can clean it out with a pin (just be careful), or better yet, compressed air if you have some.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andw93:
it was enough to blow into to have the sound in stereo mode. thank you all for the help ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
I have no issues really and do have some lag at times but nothing that I didn't have with kk. Battery life is a whole lot better than with kk. When it deep sleeps that's what it does. I have 2.5 hrs of screen time and 71% battery life left. I never could get that with any kk ROM.

I do think some people expects to much from lolli. We don't have a release from google for our tablets yet but some expects lightning in a bottle from it. Over all I'm happy and what I flashed seems to be working and is a daily driver for me. I can't wait till we get official release and Devs can work their magic on it and make it better.

My phone also has a locked bootloader. Do I have any other options to be able to root my device? Thanks in advance

Hi guys I wanna root my Xperia P with this method but this will be my first root experience.

Am I going to lose Bravia Engine with this method? (bootloader is locked, never unlocked)

I only want to remove and carry (or link) some default apps (facebook, chrome) to internal memory. Can I do it with this rooting method?

Also is there any chance of bricking the phone?

[XDA Assist] __alex__:
Hi, I've just bought a HTC One M8 from craigslist and I have a problem or two. The phone cannot connect to google servers, but the posts I found to fix that didn't help (delete hosts, install gmail). The main problem is I can't get it back to stock to get the new firmware (it's on 4.4.3), which I thought may cure my problems.

The phone is on Venom ROM, carrier is T-Mobile USA, tampered and unlocked flags showing, S-On

Here's what happens when I try to flash a recovery image:

adt and fastboot do exactly what they are supposed to do, but when I hit "Recovery" on the phone it just boots up as normal. I never get to TWRP. For some reason, the phone is taking a good 60 seconds to boot up each time.

I have tried to go to S-Off, but I got the Firewater message:

*** whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device *** (etc.)

Can you tell me how to get communication to Google working again, or how to upgrade the firmware?

Thanks for your help, I am new to this, and running out of ideas

Alex
[XDA Assist] __alex__:
update

I tried flashing both CWM and TWRP images. With CWM, the phone says 'entering recovery' for a second, then goes back to the fastboot menu. With TWRP, it says 'entering recovery', then just boots up as normal.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitht:
[MENTION=6190125]ICregular[/MENTION] It is a module for the Xposed Framework which you would need to install. You have to be rooted or you can flash a ROM which already had it included. I use Dynamic Kat ROM which already has it. Once you have Xposed Framework, you just search for the module in the list as shown in the screenshot that was attached.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamk7:
Pressing on a certain spot of the screen (about 1/3 of the way from the top) makes an audible click and I can kind of feel it under my thumb too. I've had the phone for less than a week and it seems to work fine otherwise. I'll bring it into the Sony store on Monday to see what they say.

What could it be? Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's worth getting fixed?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
How did you find out about this problem? Did you read about it somewhere and decided to try pressing your screen as well?

I'm pretty sure you'd never have found out about it during normal usage. Or did you randomly think to yourself "hey, I should really press my new phone's screen unusually hard and see if it make any noises" ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamk7:
I posted a thread about it a couple of days ago but should have mentionned it here as well that my phone wouldn't turn on after sleeping with it. I was checking for damage and I noticed this and assumed it was related. Though looking back, I'm pretty sure it was an unrelated software malfunction (kernel panic?), mainly because the battery kept draining during that time. It was at 60% when it was seemingly bricked (wouldn't even react to being plugged into multiple chargers and computers). then 24 hours later it magically let itself get charged, but for some reason was completely discharged at 0%. Everything worked normally from then on.

I see how it looks like I'm pressing hard, but I'm actually not at all.

Seems like they all do this sound

I purchased my Z3 yesterday and I also noticed this weird sound while I was putting the case on. So today I went back to the store to see if it was just mine.

I tested 4 different Z3 with the dude a the sony store and they all seem to be doing the same sound at the same spot. However i still got mine replaced for one that seemed a little better than the others.

So yeah it looks like it's normal...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stivelio:
Guess what? I found the same issue somehow couple of weeks back and thought it was weird. I wasnt trying to test anything specifically and just clicking on phone for something at that time and heard the noise. So I did some more checks and saw it happening on the top half of the screen only.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneshpastry:
Mind does the same thing. I bought it yesterday and noticed it this morning...hopefully it isn't something that I need to return it for.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liltitiz:
They all do it, z3 and z3 compact. I tested 4 different z3 and 2 z3 compact at the sony store when I went to get an exchange for mine.

I took one which seemed a little less worst, but still do it.

I'm probably gonna buy a tempered glass, it might help lessen the default.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneshpastry:
That's really unfortunate...I wonder why no one has mentioned it on Reddit or in any online reviews? We can't be the only ones to have noticed it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liltitiz:
To be honest, if my case hadn't been so hard to put on, I may never have noticed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneshpastry:
I noticed it fairly quickly...and I haven't purchased a case yet.

Does having a case on make it better/worse?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneshpastry:
I went to a few phone shops yesterday - Rogers; Bell; Telus, etc. Any of which that had a display made the click. The only exceptions was rogers, but they had a steel security clamp on the phone.

I also went back to where I purchased the phone, asked them to open a new box for an exchange, and the new phone made the same noise.

:( boo
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
Alright guys so I'm the one that made the post a month ago. It bothered me cause I'm a little ocd about these thing. I sold my phone partly because of this and bought a Moto x 2014. I noticed that the screen is definitely harder on the Moto. I think Sony doesn't use Gorilla glass. BUT screen sensitive is definitely better on the Sony. I noticed it took really not much pressure at all to navigate the screens compared to the Moto X. Anyway I ordered a new Z3 compact and I'm sending my Moto x back. The size, smoothness and features of the phone are too much to let the screen thing bother me. I also ordered a tempered glass protector. I believe it's just the design of the phone and there is a hollow area towards the top with some type of buffer or something. I wouldn't let it deter you from buying. The phone is too good overall.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fivecent:
I can't help you with the clicking. My device isn't doing it, so it may just be an manufacturing issue. I'm wondering though, what lockscreen are you using? I've been looking for one like that for ages.

I have the same problem with my z3 compact. I hope you write what the sony company answer to your report about this problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
Lookin at this teardown (link below) notice at around 3:53 how the white block corresponds to the area of your clicking noise ? Maybe its rubbing of the edges of the block with the corresponding plate that produces this sound.

Anyway the teardown is a good way to see the insides of your phone in case anything is weird ;).

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoopyHayz:
To be honest I was playing a game on my phone and heard a clicking sound, I assumed it was my nails on the screen until I used the drop down menu and heard the click again, it really doesn't need a hard touch... It's not even a week old... I'm considering taking it into a shop and getting it checked...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawel04:
I had the same problem, tried sending the phone back on warranty however got rejected at the airport because "it had a battery in it". When the phone got back i pushed around on it and the sound was mainly gone. Been using it for a few days now and there's no sound :).

It was really wierd, to me almost sounded like the screen wasnt glued on properly. I'll be honest, i left the phone under one of the rubber feet of my PC overnight :|

[YOUTUBE]1HApG_wRt0k[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartuser8:
Same issue here;

But I think it's normal because in all teardown videos/pictures we can see a strip just on the CPU (?) shield, just under the screen at the exact place where the display pop. So I think when we press, it touch the strip and stay sticked 1 seconde and pop.
