Omg, thank u man, yes it's fu**** Viber fault, cant believe.

Pozdrav iz Hrvatske i Hvala na odgovoru (b)
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Hi from Croatia from me aswell :D

I have received an email with message that new update (5.0) is available,and i wanted to check here with you people how are your impressions. As far as i was able to tell,you are not quite satisfied with 5.0 ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Vengeance66:
Hello from Macedonia. :)

I am still waiting for the LP update. Can't wait to update and try out the new things. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I am still holding out,i wanna see first how the Lollipop behaves on device and are there any downgrade options.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Since Lollipop, my Z1 is a bit sluggish, lots of UI redraws after closing browser, a lot of RAM gets gobbled up, around 75%, I don't know...

Not extremely happy with it, still on .242.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Thats Lollipop 5.0 ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Yes, it's 5.0.2.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I have been offered .270
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Hopefully it fixes some things. I haven't got it yet here, but I will check the Mac bridge and see.

Oh, and also the recent apps button, it takes a whole lot of time to open them all.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Really? I have been told that 5.02 actually fixes RAM drainage and UI mess
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Not for me... I have been using Nova launcher since Jelly Bean, all smooth. Not now. So I tried Sony's own UI, because I thought it would be launcher's fault, but no, same redraws on Sony UI, after closing browser, and that also happens when RAM ges used over 72-74%, and it gets there pretty fast.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Have you been offered downgrade options?
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
I haven't really looked for downgrading just yet, but if it gets annoying, I will certainly look into that.

Still waiting for .270 firmware and see what it fixes.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I will also think about accepting .270 because RAM stability is extremely important to me,cos i often do alot of multitasking.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Multi-tasking, at least for me, went a bit down the drain, and I do take care of my phone and what apps I install.

I am still waiting for Sony's next flagship, after the Z4 and see what they come up with, cause my Z1 starts to show its age a bit.
[Xperia Z1 General] ast9011:
5.1 fixes ram management.
[Xperia Z1 General] Yenkazu:
5.1.1 actually fix RAM leak, but some Nexus user say, that 5.1.1 stock ROM, still have a RAM leak issue.

And for Xperia 5.0.2, if you have issue app in background restarted or killed, this is because you using some app that doesn't optimized yet for ART and triggering some "rare" issue, that make Android thing you are under low RAM and OS need to kill background app as much as it can for freeing RAM. Because of that, some bugs triggered too, the service app cannot be restarted because OS think it's still under low RAM condition.

For me, it's very easy to fix this background app restarted, just reboot your phone, if it isn't enough, reboot to recovery (if you have) and clear cache and dalvik cache.

I'm also compared the LMK in KK vs L, on 5.0.2 Sony used very aggresive value for this, maybe a techinal design for reduce memory leak, but this just my assume xD

I'm using build .270
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Are there any significant modifications on Sony stock apps (camera,sms,etc)?
[Xperia Z1 General] robinx8:
So that means we can use Lollypop when all the apps we use can work properly with ART, but that could be done like in years :( I think it was a bad decision from Google to make a change that aggressive on the OS.

Sorry me bad English.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I thought you have an option to choose if you will run ART or standard virtual machine?
[Xperia Z1 General] Yenkazu:
Only a minor tweak

Camera> Like Z2/Z3 UI, but with app (downloadable) in Z2/Z3, like a Sound Photo for example

SMS> still same, but with Material design

Dialer/Phone> still like old version with Material design too. I hate it, because you need press a button first before you can enter any number

SystemUI> Lollipop style, material but the status bar depending on your theme colour

You should test it by yourself too :3

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Hmm, not really,

If you see how ART working, it's actually like a converting apps deodex to odex on the fly. Still same like Dalvik, but with new engine.

Some app also compatible with this method, but sometimes it may lead to crash if not compatible.

ART will be powerful if app developer support it, same like app dev support Android version range.

Yeah, Google decision always like hell since GB 2.3 era, because of this developer will need time more than it should, because new policy, new API etc.

I don't say you can't used L, because sometimes it may lead to bug, but it's worth of try too. :)

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

It's in Kitkat only, but many OEM remove it, since ART still experimental

In L, ART only your VM.

after a week with fw 270, the UI refresh is back, it is not as bad as the original lollipop update but it is still there. Also, anyone else using hotmail have any issue with the email app. I receive new emails but only get subject lines and the contents are not showing, can be very annoying.
[Xperia Z1 General] robinx8:
Today I installed new .270 firmware and for me the UI refresh bug it's gone I feel it more stable than the first one, the only thing is that I feel a little more of battery drain than previous.
[Xperia Z1 General] Alvian_P:
anyone have low microphone in 270?
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I keep rejecting the update and as i keep doing it,my device starts to freeze,slows down and i even had softboot an hour ago. Cmon Sony,i aint doing the update until i have had my analysis :)

Edit: I have installed .270, so far so good. Is there a way to make app icons smaller?
[Xperia Z1 General] wernerzero:
Is there a video recording limit on .270? I was shooting my kids football games yesterday, they played two 2 x 15+ min. matches, and I paused the recording at the half-times to get the games in two single files.

Noticed later that both videos stopped at exactly 30:48 (and 3.80 GB)...meaning that the end was missing in the second game. :/

Couldn't find any settings for that. There weren't any limits earlier.

---

I also have serious overheating problems, no battery drainage tho. The overheating causes touch screen issues and makes the phone useless until it cools down.

Playing more than 2-3 mins of Hay Day, Candy Crush etc, photo editing, sometimes even simply writing on fb or messaging makes the phone ready for frying eggs... :(

The OH issue started with KK and gotten worse with every update...

W.Z.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Same here,heating problems and proximity sensor delays.
[Xperia Z1 General] zgomot:
I don't know... I play games, listen to music while downloading roms and browsing the net and my phone really doesn't get all that hot.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Also,keep a lookout,google has disabled third party apps to autodisable data connection once you reach the preset limit. If you are using data traffic measurement app,be careful.
[Xperia Z1 General] e_mc_square:
I understand that Sony had patch lock screen fade out memory leak in their lollipop release.

But I really can't stand of my background app being aggressively killed by the lollipop memory manager. So, I tried to install Lollipop Memory Fix xposed module and found that the aggressive background app killing is significantly improved.

You guys should give it a shot too!
[Xperia Z1 General] johnblaze00:
that is not the case for me... how i got the ram leak and random app refreshes to stop was to going back to the default version of "android system web view". as soon as I went back to the default app without the updates (you can't uninstall it) my phone has been fine. On my nexus 5 this was fixed with 5.1 but we will have to wait for that for our xperias until august.
[Xperia Z1 General] Yenkazu:
It's weird, I'm using latest Android System WebView and app restarted rarely occur.

This bug actually like Kitkat bug, cannot restart any app service if killed by Android. But in Lollipop this bug getting worse.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Any of you experience that annoying proximity sensor delay? When you answer the call and your head triggers the notification area.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Yes, almost always my notification area slides down when using the phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I have been experiencing that issue since i had Xperia mini,every stock firmware. Even when i used custom rom/kernel i had to flash Proximity fix.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
It has only happened after updating to Lollipop. It's not that much of a hassle, although it is annoying, must admit.

What's really bothering me, is the RAM leak.
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
I have received a tweet from official Xperia blog that Xperia z1 might be receiving 5.1 update soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aidey68:
I have recently been suffering with loss of internet connection; the phone will show H, but is unable to connect unless I reboot my phone, very frustrating!!
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
So far so good,but battery drainage is exreme.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rebel2k:
Hope "soon" is really soon then!
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Lets hope,cos many things,including the infamous memory leak,has been fixed in 5.1
[Xperia Z1 General] Gitaroo:
Just realize my speaker phone does not work anymore, only getting poping sounds after 270 update. I tried to play music and the speaker still works fine, so looks like a software issue.
[Xperia Z1 General] DorianX:
Sound is working normally for me on .270
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Just to ask you,is anyone of you using Firefox on your Xperia? It has a great functionality but it crashes almost all the time whilst Chrome runs perfectly. I really like Firefox cos of his open source background ,but this glitches have made it unusable so i HAD to switch to Chrome which is almost perfect. Does any of you Firefox users have that issue?
[Xperia Z1 General] jcsy:
Installed exposed on. 270

And installed memory leak fix for lollipop

Hope that fixes something, its unbearable

[Xperia Z1 General] zgomot:
Sadly enough, it doesn't. The fix was supposedly included in the SONY firmware at some point, however it did nothing. That xposed module supposedly fixes the leak, however it did nothing. The memory leeak only got worse each day, it has gotten so unbearable for me, that I set aside all gripes I have with the CM/AOSP camera and ditched stock.

And OH, my... I can't believe how fast this device can really be, and proper multitasking is really possible now without that dreadful memory leak. Apps stay and the background, like they should.

I'll maybe try stock again once 5.1.1 hits Honami, but until then... good riddance!
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Wait,you switched to custom firmware?

[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Same here,Thats actually the only downfall ,the battery drainage. 5.1 is also supposed to fix the memory leak bug.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Hopefully it will fix that memory leak, it's a bit annoying, so to speak. Heard that 5.1 will roll next month?
[Xperia Z1 General] tominho_1989:
Yes,i've red it. Its been confirmed to Z1. Then again,i live in Croatia so i'll probably have to wait atleast one month more to receive the update.

[Xperia Z1 General] Steve_max:
You know that the "Fix Lollipop memory leak" module does absolutely nothing under Xperia ROMs, right? The fix applied by that module (and that Google included on AOSP 5.1) is already present on our stock ROM. See http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/clarification-xperia-lollipop-fix-t3087240

There may be (and probably are) other sources of memory leaks on our ROMs, but the infamous AOSP Lollipop one that is fixed by the module absolutely is NOT on Xperia ROMs.
[Xperia Z1 General] HarpingOn:
The stock lollipop roms have driven me to root and install a custom 4.4.4 rom after sticking with stock for the first 18 months or so. Rubbish battery life, heat, redraws in action launcher. Hopefully a good lollipop will appear, and I might flash that through recovery once it's proven. Or maybe with 5.1. But returning to 4.4.4 with customisation is like night and day. Fast, cool, no redraws. Keeping a watch on 5.x
[Xperia Z1 General] mckeowngoo:
TBH I will probably go back to a decent KitKat ROM in the next few days when I get back home. In sick of waiting for some apps to start up. Facebook and others lag big style. I want a good user experience and stock .270 just isn't it.
[Xperia Z1 General] jcsy:
i have had 0 browser, home, whats app refreshes since installing that.

i can almost certainly guarantee once i remove it, any of the above will force a total refresh the moment 1 of them are launched and closed
[Xperia Z1 General] DorianX:
What I know this "tweak" doesn't work since ICS (Android 4.0) check:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ*–*BUSTED

This property is supposed to “keep the launcher in memory” under the assumption that it would somehow make it faster. Unfortunately, this is a leftover Gingerbread property that no longer functions in ICS.

Gingerbread:

// These values are set in system/rootdir/init.rc on startup. ... HOME_APP_ADJ = getIntProp("ro.HOME_APP_ADJ", true);

ICS:

static final int HOME_APP_ADJ = 6;

Google likely removed the ability to configure this value via a build.prop setting in ICS so that users could not set inappropriate values here.

I got tired of the overheating and sold my Z1 today. It's farewell Sony...at least for a while...
[Xperia Z1 General] Aegethir:
Indeed, mine overheats pretty badly, and I am not even playing games on it. It wasn't like this on KK.
[Xperia Z1 General] Romi14:
Just flashed .283 firmware with big hopes for fixing the "locking device touch screen bug." Guess what ? Nothing fixed !!!

That horribly irirtating bug is still present. I was really hoping for Sony to fix this in .283 but nothing....

When I think about it. I have to send my phone to RMA again. Firstly it was bad power button now it's bad microphone.

I never had phone which had to be send to RMA (even twice, WTF ?).

So like I said this mean just only one thing. I will sell this f**king crap and buy Galaxy S6.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikicchi:
Hi!

First off let me say thanks to R_a_z_v_a_n for redirecting me and hope that I'll find my answer here ^^

So I Have this device called HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA (not with Slate just HP 7 Voicetab), wanting to have a custom recovery then I tried to flash a CWM Custom Recovery for HP Slate 7 VoiceTab because I thought it was the same and ends up bricking my phone. It ends up in a bootloop which only shows HP sign for a few seconds and dead. But I managed to find out that I can access the recovery menu (or so I thought it is), but the options was choosing between Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and VART Mode.

I tried to enter Fastboot Mode before and tried to access it via PC but somehow I can't find the device by entering adb devices and fastboot devices. Anyways, I have downloaded a stock update.zip for it but not the original KitKat one which I get from the first time I bought it but rather the JB ones. I think by flashing this would help me recover the device but the only problem is I don't know which method should I use to Flash it. Since I don't have the Stock Recovery or ANY kind of recovery at all, I guess I'm stuck. And it won't start to the home page so I can't set the USB debugging options. Please guide me through this >.<

Thanks a lot!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikicchi:
Been fighting with it for 2 days now and still no result came.

So here's the update so far....

I tried on my other device in order to understand how my PC reads ADB and now I kinda gets it. But the problem is now can't get the device to enable USB Debugging because I can't access options at all.

Secondly, since I left it on for the night because charging seems to trigger the bootloop too, now I can't access the fastboot mode like I was last night. And it constantly repeating this sequence: [battery scene with the "charging battery" symbol] > [HP Powered by Android screen] repeated for 2-3 times > [low battery need charging screen] > repeat. And once I tried to connect to the PC, it goes to the same sequence too. When I tried to access the boot options (the screen which displays Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and UART Mode which I mention in Thread Starting post), it shows the low battery need charging scene and then repeating the same sequence as mentioned above.

I seem to figure out how to fix this but I still can't manage to access the fastboot mode yet. Will give update once I can try to.

Anyone can help me on this?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikicchi:
Update!

Somehow with a little tweaking and stripping the device, I managed to solve the charging problems. Will update on this once my problem finished.

Jump out from the frying pan and into the fire so they say, I ran into another problem. Finally managed to get into fastboot mode, the devices manager reads it as an Android Device>ROMaster ADB device like the other device I tried to connect while in ADB mode and fastboot mode, but somehow CMD cannot read the device as an ADB device or a Fastboot device like the other device did. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and still nothing happens. I tried to find the usb_driver on the internet and it directs me to the update.zip instead. Trying to update the driver via Computer Management but it says the driver is up to date. Now thinking about making an emulator device based on the HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA but I really have no idea how to make one. Any one have any idea of what should I do next or can guide me through this? At least until the CMD can read the fastboot.

Thanks a lot!
