[G4 General] fix-this!:
id say verizon and tmobile will get this last. tmobile because they have to incorporate the wifi calling feature.
[G4 General] jsisson:
Sprint has WiFi calling listed as a feature,
[G4 General] trikotret:
Do you still get the $100 BB gift card if you buy the G4 at retail?
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Though we don't know for sure everything seems to show you do. I read EVERYTHING they posted including the terms & conditions and it does not say you dont. Plus in the full retail buying process it shows the $100 gift card and never says otherwise.

If for some reason they try to deny when I go to pick mine up I'll just return it on the spot & not likely take it and instead I'll buy elsewhere.

But I feel optimistic and convinced the $100 is no matter what: retail full price or contract.
[G4 General] TR88:
I don't see T-Mobile on their list.
[G4 General] tourbound129:
T-Mobile won't ever be on that list.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
By the time of release, something new will be right around the corner. They take to long to release after announcement.
[G4 General] amarentine:

Delivery today

I ordered mine from Sprint on Friday. Received UPS email that it will be delivered today by 3:00pm. Looking forward to the new camera.

Yeah I was wondering if I was the only one. I called and ordered mine on Sunday and got shipping confirmation that mine will arrive on this Thursday the 28th. I was expecting it to arrive on the June 5th date, but looks like they may be doing a early release that wasn't published. Even the guy on the phone said it should arrive on or about the 5th of June.
[G4 General] Norcalz71:
Saw that as well. I am on at&t and have no intention to switch - do we know if the t-mo g4 will work on at&t and if the t-mo version will have an unlocked/unlockable bootloader? Would there be any missing capability by using at-mo g4 on at&t network? If its good to go i will pre-order from t-mo and use on my at&t account for sure...
[G4 General] ThePhoneGeek:
I am by no means an expert on how LG typically builds their devices but I would imagine that TMO devices if properly sim unlocked would work on ATT. Again proceed with caution as I am not saying it will work.

I am switching from Sprint to TMO when this device hits so I am excited to give them my money tomorrow. :D

I tried to deodex the stock D802 30B since i want to mod few things. Deodexing went ok, i removed the *.odex, the boot.art and the boot.oat files, pushed the deodexed /app/, /priv-app/ and /framework/, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik. after a restart LG logo stayed a little longer with no green-blue led, gave me a LG Security Error message and rebooted. I went to recovery, restored my nandroid and now everything's fine. i wonder what have gone wrong? i was expecting some boot loop as an error, but why Security Error? Any ideas?

[Xperia Z General] shehabskull:
This update is super awesome B| there are no bugs so far, but A little issue with the flash light in quick settings when turning It on and off some thing wrong happen and oh yes the charging speed is slow (as you said before) but still rocks! I played mc5 for about 2 hours and didn't heat with me ;)
[Xperia Z General] Paduretu Ionut:
I played some Mortal Kombat X for about 30 minutes, and i have to say that it doesn't heat up as much as KK. The CPU temp was about 45 celsius.
[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
yes i noticed the slow charging and the overheating also...

i think the Icons are big for my taste .

the native keyboard is small

i have an issue that i don't know if anyone else has it, several twitter apps fail to authenticate , the only one i had luck with is Plume

Echofon, Ubersocial, Twidere, & tweetings all couldn't log to twitter.
[Xperia Z General] technaudio:
Anyone tried changing screen resolution in build.prop to 320?

Should make it look like z ultra. I did in kk and jb before, not tried it yet in case of bootloop and I'm nowhere near a pc!
[Xperia Z General] herophuong:
That's the first thing I do after opening Injustice game and see it's lagging :)). The procedure will not cause bootloop as I don't see any system binaries being tampered with.
[Xperia Z General] BaDKaRmA:
Yes A issue with keyboard...its small i noticed after u said
[Xperia Z General] BaDKaRmA:
Hows the gaming? I havent tried heavier games yet...better than kitkat or no imprvmnt?
[Xperia Z General] comax70:

Not experiencing slow charge, gone from 30-70% in just under an hour. On 2A car charger
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
I'm loving the update so far, best firmware I've used on the Z since! Performance is top notch and if this is the last firmware for the Z, I really don't mind.
[Xperia Z General] Jaguvar:
Stable,but....

We have to slide notification bar 2 times to get through setting.

Icons are bigger compared to previous one.

In recent apps section close all button not attractive, and when we close all the apps,then it'll show 'no recent apps'. If we touch that screen it'll get through the screen. But this doesn't allow to get through, instead we have to click back button.
[Xperia Z General] shehabskull:
Better than kk :) mc5 was always lagging on kk now it Is quite smooth
[Xperia Z General] koimr:
For the Quick Settings, I'm using this:

I know it's a small thing but I agree that sliding twice is annoying.
[Xperia Z General] r.ifat381:
After 2 days of use, i can say that its the best firmware for our beloved Xperia z. Just 1 issue, changing is slower than kitkat.
[Xperia Z General] kael2404:
Performance is OK but camera takes terrible pictures :eek:
[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
i'm not sure, it feels smaller, still it's accurate and i don't hate it.

anyone else having the twitter apps issue?

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

this is strange, for me when i click the close all button , it goes to the home screen right away after closing.

also i like that now theres an option to make the home screen rotate (change orientation)
[Xperia Z General] SDee96:
Can I get any info on the battery life? :D

Is it good/bad, how long can it last on average/heavy use?
[Xperia Z General] koimr:
I can't say much for heavy use as I haven't had much of a chance to play around with my phone (C6616, flashed with Flashtool) but the standby time is pretty good.

Last night, was at 100% at 11pm and was at 95% this morning at 7am. And that is without Stamina/Greenify/etc!

From what I've read so far about our Lollipop update is that doing a factory reset after getting the OTA update is absolutely essential.

Well LP is pretty good, but Im still missing some features from KK.

Magnifier - in earlier versions there was ala Iphone selecting words with zoom. Now there is pain in the ass to select some text properly.

No data roaming message is still appearing even after it is pushed away during the whole abroad visit. In KK you did it once and appeared again when you crossed borders.
[Xperia Z General] jamminen:
I decided to give lp a chance, I installed with flashtool and clean install, downloaded European rom from xperifirm. No more terrible heating and seems battery is better. Although it goes down fast but not like before, this might be more me testing and using this all the time :p if my suspicion is correct, the ota update is a bad choice.

A bit odd is that screen is not the first , Google play store is, followed by chrome... In battery consumption.

Edit: Oh man i'm having hard time with this... Tried rooting but it didn't quite go as expected, flashed the nordic firmware and now testing but it says charging from 50% to 100% takes 3 hrs... So the drain is still there. At some point i thought it was better but with all this installing/uninstalling/rooting/flashing/factory resetting i lost track what i did then. Now it's charging and doing god knows what in the background and i could cook eggs on it! Not healthy...

As said twice for notifications bar

The screen has to be unlocked twice slide then pattern

Apart from that I love the update

Will love it even more when we have recovery.

lollipop too hot with wifi and the battery flies[emoji15]
[Xperia Z General] alexvv:
terrible overheating, slow charge, the notifications bar is annoying (personal) and extreme battery drain from mobile radio, with no possible solution. back to kitkat. i don't get it though. every major oem tests the software on their devices for quite some time, then what's the point of pushing an update you know it's problematic? just to say "i gave you lollipop, don't care if it doesn't work" ?
[Xperia Z General] afeeq:
That right bro. I played Football Manager 2015 on kitkat never fell heat at the back panel. But in lollipop, it heat.. Even when I using alarm for 5 min its heating.

Exactly, no matter what app i use if it uses data connection it starts draining. Today i had chrome use 46% of my battery, it had used mobile radio over 4 hrs and it had been actually used for 19 minutes! Android system was second by 16% or something and screen only third by 14%. Should i delete all apps that use mobile radio or just use my phone offline? Okay someone swoops in and says "you can greenify" and god knows what, yea i know, if apps are killed it usually is better, but not while you use them. If i want to surf internet for half an hour, it uses as much battery as kitkat did in hour and a half! There's no solution to that is there. It's just so frustratingly stupid bug, why on earth would an app like chrome use mobile radio like that! If it was only one app then i could use something else but it's not.

[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
i have a question... if i'm going to flash a new stock rom i downloaded in Flashtool, is there a way to make it pre-rooted or something similar , so i could flash it with flashtool without the need to recovery (because obviously i'm already on LP and don;t really wont to downgrade)?
[Xperia Z General] DonMuthu:
Facing the same issue super scared about this
[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
if within 24 hours you still have the heating issue, and your phone is charged, there's only thing to do, and that's to flash the phone again with flashtool,

from what i read on this thread , most issues come when updating through OTA or Sony PC app, apparently LP need a clean install,

i had this issue the 1st time too, so if you decided to reflash , make sure your phone is charged (maybe turn it off until it charges so it doesn't overheat) make sure it's temperature is good and flash on Flashtool with full wipe ( wipe everything, and i personally would also add reset customization)

after the flash the phone will be hot ( i also reached around 50 after flashing) so let it settle for an hour or 2 without plugging the charger, it will probably also try to install all the apps automatically and the firmware will settle on that period.

personnel since my last flash and i have a normal experience as i had with KK, Battery Discharge is Normal

one last question i have. i had the HK Customization (because it was the 1st released) and i still have it on my phone, and now the Customization i want is released the MEA , so i downloaded it, and when i checked the ftf's i found that the MEA size is smaller than the HK by aroung 60 Megs. which is maybe not an issue (i don't know) maybe it's only the difference in Customization and apps added... is that size difference normal? both downloaded by Flashtool,

Hi,

Been reading through the thread since I am getting below issues with my Z.

1. Fast battery drain (from 99% - 40% in 30 minutes)

2. Screen will freeze, then switch off, then on again

3. Super slow charging time

4. Can't access my messages

I updated it yesterday morning (Friday) and I am really stressed right now. Any help on how to fix this? BTW, phone is not rooted.

Thanks a lot :)

Can anyone confirm this?? I want to try doing it with double factory reset and fresh install via flashtool. I've already tried doing a repair via PCC but the phone is still hot and the battery drains like crazy. I'm debating if I shall waste more of my time with this ****ty update or just rollback to 4.4.4:confused:

GREAT ****ING NEWS!!! GUYS!!!

i "think" i have fixed my OVERHEATING AND BATTERY DRAIN issue!

i did this thing randomly after being ****ed up all day of not using my phone:

Settings>Users>Switch to guest

go through the Setup guide(click next next next)then again:

Settings>Users>remove guest(go back to ur own user)

this DID rly fix my problems!

i dont know why!

but i just wanted to share whatever that may help...

cus i feel u guys... :}

i will report back if it stays this way...

but i am quite sure that it worked & cooled my mob for like an hour...

[Xperia Z General] ChrisMCP:
^^ does not work for me. Did you do flashtool install or PCC? Factory reset before and after the flash?
[Xperia Z General] Smith2k:
Upgraded through PCC, no issues whatsoever. Few apps acted up until 2-3 restarts performed during first 2 days of use. For example graphics glitches in Real Racing 3, solved with restarting the phone. Facebook Groups app had to be reinstalled. No overheating, charging normally - even with Folding@home running during night. I'm very satisfied with smooth Lollipop upgrade from latest KitKat, no factory reset was needed. So far so good.

You mean the title icon in my post? Sorry was not meant for your post at all, but for the general attitude towards this crappy update. No offense. :)
[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
no problem m8,

the one thing apparently Sony didn't take into consideration is the update process, and i only say that because different people having different experiences with this update, and an update really is a product service from the Company to its Average users who aren't supposed to be well versed at flashing roms... and although I'm not having a bad experience , i have to agree with you, an update should target the general users base and offer smooth transition without the user loosing his data while keeping a standard level of user experience , which is apparently not the case here.

That said, because some of the people here (including myself) have a better experience than others with the LP Update, i would advice to stick with it as long as you have the interest , because apparently there're other users that doesn't have issues. (or at least the same issues KK had) .

best of luck to you.

http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_announces_massive_android_51_upgrade_plans-news-12525.php
[Xperia Z General] pbhat25:
Updated to Lollipop on 5 June via PC Companion. The process was smooth though took some time to complete the upgrade after downloading, but faced no problems. No deletion of user apps or data.

The new firmware is very good, visually as well as functionally. The performance is quite good, no lags felt till now. No over-heating for me. Was having some slowness with KK, especially with app switching and keyboard keyboard but with this build it seems to have disappeared. For me, a very good update from Sony. Thanks a lot, Sony. Keep up with the good work.
[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
An Update to my LP Experience..

so few days ago i reflashed my device due to me playing a lot with root, and tried the xposed without recovery method which ended me on a bootloop ( and i had a sudden shutdown before that)...so i reflashed

i flashed the HK rom, rooted with KigRoot method then replaced with SuperSU, and i only have some social media apps installed + Firefox + Greenify + Battery Bot , to keep track of any heating (no games).

and since then my experience with the battery so far is even better than KK (at most times),

in a light usage day using the phone normally + light browsing (around 2 hours of checking around social media and reading some articles through out the day) the phone lasts 2 days on a single full charge.

on a medium to heavy use day, the phone lasts the entire day with little heat only in heavy use, and i usually check the temperature after i use the apps and it never reached 45 to this day ..

so at least from my experience, a clean fresh flash (where you wipe everything) + greenify to just hibernate some apps when the device is in sleep will give most people a very good battery experience...and i don't use Stamina mode

and ofcourse several apps open at the same time WILL definitely drain the battery faster and probably heat it more.
