My apologies, it's still there but in the disabled column ☺

My anecdote regarding Z5c performance...

I received my phone with the initial firmware ending in .11. It was definitely sluggish and the camera UI performance was completely unacceptable. I finally upgraded to the last .152 firmware and found the phone generally better but still occasionally laggy and with poor camera UI performance.

I tend to never trust upgrades so I finally got around to "factory resetting" my phone using the Repair Xperia feature in the Sony Bridge for Mac (equivalent to the Sony PC Companion on Windows). With all of my apps and accounts re-loaded on the device I can report that the device performs noticeably better. It's definitely more responsive and lots of little things seem to work better. I found this was the case with all my previous Xperias (Z1c & Z3c).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevinwu128:
I disabled the photo analyzer app and it help for a bit only. It's been unbearable, so I ended up booting into TWRP, and wiped the dalvik cache, it's now GOOD again!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
I was soooo worried about lag that I was posting everywhere, looking at videos and not sure if I was going to keep the phone when it arrived.

Well I just received it and Its not going anywhere! After I downloaded the update, this thing is smooth as butter and noticeably faster in some instances than my z3c. Also I know the pixels per inch are only slightly more but the screen looks much clearer to me as well. If you're on the fence and skeptical given the price, don't worry and buy the phone. I'm a very happy camper so far!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Davidsmonkeyroost:
I have a black Z5C which was sluggish/laggy on Camera App 2.0 and before. Camera was slow to to open, especially from sleep, taking about 5 seconds or more before I could take photos. I just disabled Photo Analyser and from Sleep (having settled for a couple of minutes) to shoot takes between 2 and 3 seconds and from using another app, such as chrome to being able to start shooting (by holding down the shutter release button again) it takes less than a second. This is especially impressive as the button needs to be held down for about 1/3 to 1/2 of a second before it will start the camera app to prevent accidental start ups. Rebooting the phone, letting it show my lock screen and then letting it settle for 10 seconds, pressing the shutter button it takes between 3 and 4 seconds before it will take a photo - this is a massive improvement down from about 8 seconds.

In addition, the general 'feel' of the phone, especially when opening the camera inside apps like Whatsapp or Hangouts, seems much quicker. No pulling out of hair.

Thanks yyiimm - it appears this simple change helps me in a lot of instances.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] hazeem89:
My solution which I read somewhere, I just turning on "developer options" in Setting, and lower the these 3 settings:

-window animation scale;

-transition animation scale; and

-animator duration scale

to 0.5x frm default 1.0x
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] AB__CD:
That's a trick that's been known for a very long time, and the issue here is not slow animations, it's the fact that they stutter.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Steven1145:
Well I'm getting seriously tired of this phone and it's completely crappy performance in simple, day to day uses. My Z1C was much better, even when the storage started to get full.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] FranzDages:
I'm having a fairly serious lag issue with incoming calls. If I am doing anything else, and a call comes in, I have to press the accept button numerous times before it will answer. I've actually missed some calls due to this. Is anyone else having this issue?

If this has already been addressed in a different post, I apologize.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mmm286:

Same here.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DaVince:
Just go get the 32.0.A.6.152 update via PC companion.

All known issues. Gone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] e2zippo:
Not true at all, I'm facing the same issues still, even after the update, and I reset the phone.

.200 is already out man ....
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] km8j:
I've had no issues at all on .200. Smooth as butter. Will only get better with 6.0 if we ever get it
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DaNiC700:
Stutter/Lag with stamina

I'm actually facing some stutter when I turn on stamina mode.. (With everything under it enabled)

Everything starts to become choppy and disabling stamina mode doesn't remedy it.

A reboot of the phone seems to do the trick though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevinwu128:
yeah, quite annoying. So I have actually found an app called: "Fast reboot" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en

I actually paid for the pro version because it restarts all the main services in a second and speeds up my phone. I used to have to reboot all the time.. but this is just a workaround.. I hope this helps you.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
"Extended Usage" under STAMINA is supposed to reduce performance. They literally wrote it there
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DaNiC700:
Yes, but my gripe is that it remains that way after turning off stamina mode..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Goes back to normal after you lock and unlock screen
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
When I got my phone I immediately updated and have had no issues besides the Camara opening delay. Smooth as silk!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] santoshrane:
I confirm disabling the photo analyzer has made the camera start faster. Will check after loading the memory and see

Update: So camera loads faster, but after loading the camera if I start the picture gallery then it does the same lag.

Hope Sony is working towards fixing it.

Z5 Compact is really HOT
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Steven1145:
I have finally resorted to disabling Stamina mode, because the general phone lag was unacceptable. It seems to have helped in that regard.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
Same lag with the camera mostly, I also have an LG G4 and it looks like another level of phone, better camera and better overall performance.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] e2zippo:
Did anyone solve the incoming call issue, this last week it's been he'll for me to reply to a call, 9/10 times the call gets missed because I can't press the answer button. It's driving me crazy. And also I'm getting a pop up very often saying "Application low on memory", what's that about? I'm on latest firmware.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mbutash:
I've noticed this inability to hit answer of late. Twice today.

Going to unlock, root and rebuild it, hopefully easier than manually now once titanium can do it's restore properly and see if it's just the apps I have running on it causing the answer lag.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] scottjb:
I have not had any problems answering calls but I'm curious about your statement. You stated "press the answer button" in your post. You have to swipe right to answer. Are you pressing the button or was that just the way you wrote it and you are actually swiping?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Sounds like an app you've installed is misbehaving and causing problems. I have no such issues.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] FlipFlopHHJ:
He's talking about the popup that shows when you get a call while using an app.

It has two buttons, "answer" and "reject".

Sometimes the answer button just doesn't work.

Really annoying.

Especially since the phone just wont stop ringing at the same time.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mmm286:
I have the same problem [emoji20]

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Always seems to answer for me. UK firmware using the network 'Three'.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] scottjb:
Oh, I see now, thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jose Viegas:
Sometimes I also have problems to answer a call, it's not something immediate as it should and also when I want to make a call. This is really frustrating as this is supposed to be a top model fast enough for the everyday use. I don't use it for games or weird apps, just social media, calls and make some photos. Yesterday I pick my 'old' iphone 5s and it's sooo smooth compared to the Z5c :( And the anticipated update that never comes, reminds me why I gave away the xperia S I had once.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] frankie99969:
i have the incoming call problem too, a workaround you can use to make sure the call is answered is to click the notification to launch the dialer app proper and then swipe across as normal.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] AndyBroke:
I just switched back to my z2 with cyanogenmod. It is much faster than the z5 compact!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] e2zippo:
I really wish Sony would let us use the concept rom avaliable on Z3, it's supposedly running amazingly smooth, and a lot of bloat removed. Maybe then I could enjoy my Z5C and not wanting to break it in two when it's choppy as hell and apps take ages to start!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
Thought it was just me.

Yes the z5c is not as responsive on most regards when compared to the z3c

Beginning to get really annoyed with the general sluggishness of the phone now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
For those who have lags and stutters, try this.

Go to developer options in settings

Enable "Disable HW Overlay" and "Force GPU Rendering"

Helped in my case
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ewans:
My problems seem related to having an sd card in. It gets slower and slower unusable, but removing the sd card seems to fix it. Tried a few and always have the same problem. Could this just be an issue with my unit?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Which SD card do you have?

Sent from my E5823
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ewans:
Currently a Samsung 64 Gb Evo, also had a 64 Gb Sandisk (class 10 i think).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] karimero:
Same problem with my phone as well still. It just seems to randomly bog down and become unresponsive. Sometimes I have to wait 20 seconds or more before it reacts to key input/gestures, and this behaviour continues until a reboot. Dramatic! SD-card: Samsung 32 GB EVO, UHS-1 class 10.

I do notice that when the phone becomes slow/unresponsive, it becomes really hot. Can't figure out why though, as I kill all unused background apps (Greenify). Don't see a specific battery drain either.

Camera is always slow and basically useless to quickly capture the moment. All in all, very unhappy with my purchase. Shame on Sony.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Can you try this though? Go to developer options and enable

Disable HW overlays

Force GPU rendering

See if it helps. Because it helped in my case.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
I don't have the same issues but I also have Samsung Evo 32GB UHS1 microSD card. Very odd.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] e2zippo:
I really doubt an app is to blame here. I've read across many forums where people complain regarding Z5-series being very slow and switching between apps can take 10 sec +. Even people who don't have major problems don't exactly say that the phone is blazing fast, when it should be. Z3 users running the concept AOSP rom say that it flies and there's no lag at all. I think it comes down to optimization and that Sony made a really bad job when it comes to Snapdragon 810. I have really high hopes for MM if it ever comes, otherwise I'm returning my phone since it's nearly useless sometimes!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
The only time I ever see slowdown to the extent you describe is when the phone is charging, playing music and has very poor 3G/4G signal all at the same time (i.e. when I'm on the train). In every other scenario I don't see the lag to the extent that you are. I'm sorry to hear about your problems though, that sucks.

I'm sure Marshmallow will fix it - you said it yourself - look at the miracles it's done for the Z3 with that beta concept software! :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] karimero:
I'll try that and report back if it helps in my case as well. Thanks for sharing! :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Sure man! Do let us know :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] karimero:
Hmm, for me this doesn't seem to fix it. Same sluggish and barely responsive behaviour quite a bit of the time... Too bad, but it was worth a try. Hopefully saviour will come from MM..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Too bad then. Kinda helped a lot in my case. But I really don't wanna strain my GPU all the time. So yeah. Here's to hoping for good optimisation from MM
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ricostuart:
Had terrible slowness until I removed my sd card and reformatted it. Also set camera to save to phone instead. Now runs very well. Did gpu trick in admin too.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ewans:
Update - I went without a card for a while but travel a lot and like to have my music collection on the plane. Previously i was carrying this as about 30 Gb of mp3 files on the sd card. I've now wiped it and instead downloaded all the music through Google Play music. It certainly doesn't seem to be as slow as when having individual mp3's on there.

Can't be sure this was the problem but it seems to have helped. Suggests there was some media scanning going on.

By the way, this doesn't cure everything, it's still slower than the Z3c, but at least it's usable again. Hoping the MM update sorts it out!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Marshmallow makes it feel like a new phone. Mine just got the update. Night and day difference in responsiveness vs Lollipop.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] FHN-SBB:
My opinion is...maybe..the rom can't efficiently handle 8 cores wich 4 have different frequency.

Maybe a workaround to make all cores run on 1.5 ghz will fix it?( as when same frequency means all can work together)

Am I right?

I figure a bunch of you are purchasing extra cables and such so I thought I'd share. I've had REALLY good luck with Monoprice.com and their warranties, and the prices usually can't be beat.

Free shipping on orders over $50, and 10% off code for october using code...

OCTOBER

Yeah.

Here's the link to their USB C page.

Sooooo expansive shop ! You can find USB 3.1 type-C for less on Amazon...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Expansive? You mean it isn't big? I agree, but it'll probably get bigger soon. Cheaper? Yeah, you can, but some of us are monoprice supporters and enjoy their warranties and quality cables.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ninjosh97:
Anyone else notice that they look exactly like the google cables?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DukeofPhone:
I haven't been able to get to the monoprice site for several days. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Scyntherei:
Monoprice is among the cheapest and best quality for pretty much all other cables, but with usb-c being new(ish) they'll be priced a bit higher probably until they refine their manufacturing process. They usually make what department stores charge look shameful.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaisanNYC:
i only see a 3 foot length for USB-C to USB-A cable. That is way too short for most uses. If I am right next to a PC or if the AC outlet it directly adjacent to me, 3 feet is fine. They need to start selling a 6 foot length.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thjubeck:
A little detail here you need to use an apn backup and restore app because not all carriers use the same layout for the apns found that out the hard way using another method and ended up having to restore my old rom on my as990 and pulling the apns again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
Just root the stock rom, use root explorer (or any other file explorer that uses root) and copy the apn_config.xml to your computer or external sdcard...also use change apn from the play store and write all that info down so that when you flash an ls990 aosp rom, you can add those apns in either with the built in apns in setting, mobile data or use change apn from the play store to add them...then movebthe apn_config.xml back in /system/etc
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thjubeck:
Not all carriers store their apns in that folder and I tried this method and it would not work with my carrier.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
Who is your carrier? Every single phone I have messed with from ics on, the apn_config.xml is located in the folder

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
Will you zip, upload, and link me a copy of your etc folder please?

And did you reflash the modem file for your phone...if you flash to sprint, you won't get service on the stock rom at all
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
I had everything working without the modem for the as990, but the device would crash is I made or received a call...flashing the modem fixed everything for me...I'm on ntelos...while on stock, download the change apn app and look at your apns that way...write that info down...very important step in getting lte and MMS working

And the info you sent is the xml file...just back it up so you can move it to the sprint rom...its not as important as writing down the stuff you see in the change apn app though
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thjubeck:
here is another method of backing them up. I'm commenting to help other users if they have issues.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
Good...we need as many contributions as we can for the as990 users...using change apn don't back them up...it allows you to edit and input your apns...that is a must for aosp...don't know about stock as I don't ever run stock or any variation of stock...I'm aosp all the way

And even though it will most likely say you don't have access to the apn settings in mobile networks, make the changes anyway...they "should" stick...they do for me as long as I put in the correct apn...if I mis-type something important, it won't stick...don't try and change the MCC or MNC because then your changes won't stick...it should get those values from the sim
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thjubeck:
Tried everything I know and still cant get mms to work.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
Is everything else working?

Using change apn, put "http://203.229.247.19/mm1" without the quotes as the mmsc
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thjubeck:
yup already tried that I'm back on the stock at the moment may try again when I get home. I may try coping the phone.apk mms.apk and messaging apps from stock and see if I can use that to get stock sprint working.

Got it to work. Not sure where it is stored but the new Carolina West Wireless phones use MMSC http://mms.iot1.com/amarillo/mms.php its a VOIP/ VLTE proxy or something of that sort anyways I have receiving down now just have to call the service department to reset my MMS some how it got stuck in sending on the stock rom and now its still locked up.

Hello XDAres

Read this as a foreword - it's not a must

I've been using my OnePlus One for about a year, and at first the battery was great, but after upgrading to CM12S it seemd like it got much worse. this case wasn't only for me ofcourse.. many other users of CM12s and basically any Lollipop device had complained about a decreased battery life. their evidence to that was their SoT- which used to be (and I'm talking about the majority) around 4-5 hrs back at KitKat days, and had dropped down to 3-4 once they had gotten the 5.0-5.1.1 Updates.

that was caused by a number of things- among of them was the Google Services Wake bug etc.

Now to the point-

My OPO used to get 4.5+ SoT ( Screen on Time) back @ Kitkat days. since the upgrade to LP it went down to 3-4 max.

And then I've tried something-

I simply changed the settings of display, to turn off the display after 30 minutes of screen idle (

it was 15 seconds before

).

And the results?

The suggested conclusion is- SoT is a lie.

If prior to the changes I've made on the display settings, I'd get ~15% @ the end of the day ( say 11PM/23:00 ) and a 3.5hrs SoT, I can now get to ~5% at the end of the day ( again 11PM/23:00 ) by simply raising those values. does it mean that I've used the phone more? well, no, it simply tells us that SoT isn't that trustworthy as we thought.

Opinions?
[General Topics] Darth:
Of course your screen on time will be better with a 30 minute timeout. But all you are doing is having it sit, doing nothing until it finally times-out.

But yes, the way you're doing it is not telling a true screen on time with actual usage.

Most people's screen on time numbers reflect the phone being used during that time. :good:

Totally my fault as I know not to use kernel cleaning scripts but...

While playing with a new in box N7'13 I went to switch between Glitch and ElementalX while contemplating Timur's.

I flashed a kernel cleaning script After reading the update script and seeing nothing that I thought would create problems.

I've flashed the lollipop factory image and it will not boot. I flashed the Kit Kat factory image and it boots fine, Going back to Lollpop, bootloop. It's been given plenty of time on each occasion for lollipop to boot.

Ideas?

Thanks...

-edit: I'm thinking something was wrong with the factory image as Taking the OTAs up to LMY48M works.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] elonus:
Did you try re-downloading the lollipop images? It could be a bad download.
