[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
I am getting 16gb USA version. I looked up some info on specs and looks like Sd 615 on M4 is faster than the S4 Pro on Xperia Z. Bought M4 for $220, looks to be a decent price?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Tuxedo75:
the 16 GB seems the only possibile choiche...right?

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Yeah, Android has issues when storage is almost full. Also you need 1-2gb for Cache, since it adds up the more you use it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] james194zt:
Great phone if you have 16Gb version, I love this phone but with the 8Gb version I have it absolutely sucks I have to try and scavenge storage almost daily :( sucks more because normally we have 14 day returns on stuff in this country, I found this issue out about 3 hours after buying it but when you get it from a shop in the UK you don't have a right to return!!! I was supposed to have it mail order from EE but they cocked up and didn't sent it so I end up in a shop as I needed a phone ASAP. To top it off I can't unlock it either because its bootloader locked just to annoy me even more!

Moral of the story, check reviews and be wary of operator stores aka order it mail order in the UK so you at least have a cooling off period.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Can anyone check if the phone has audio settings?

My Z has the x-loud,sound effects, Dynamic Normalizer, and ClearAudio+

Does this have any of these on the music app?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Trampeltierr:
ClearAudio+, Dynamic Normalizer and Equalizer, no X-loud
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Got the phone, so far don't notice performance issues compared to Xperia Z. Use it a little more and see how it runs then.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Tuxedo75:
will marshmallow solve the 8gb issue? or better to avoid completely the 8gb version?

Inviato dal mio Xperia SP utilizzando Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Trampeltierr:
I think it will solve this Problem, because with marshmallow you can combine the internal storage with your Sd card
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gnome_mo:
Absolute rubbish. My Nexus 4 died unfortunately, and my budget was limited so I got M4 Aqua as a replacement.

There are no words to describe how much better Nexus is (was?), the phone from 2012!

So far, the only good point is the battery.

I sincerely hope that the lag will be fixed with Marshmallow, or at least that there are some debloated ROMs here on XDA, 'cause phone out of the box borderlines on unusable.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Do we have the same phone? Mine has no major lag issues. Maybe 1-2 delay when opening apps
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mrm2007:
Hi,

I'm really surprised. Mine is a E2333 (16GB, dual Sim) unlock without any operator bloatware, and it runs really fast. I also activated STAMINA mode for both standby and Extended Usage(Limits CPU Clock) and on my games (the only cpu intensive one is Flight Pilot - others are Sudoku , ...etc) , the only thing that i notice is 2-3 seconds longer loading time of the game.

In other apps i don't have any problem either.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] renw0rp:
I have Xperia Aqua M4 8GB from Vodafone UK. After the upgrade to 26.1.A.2.167 got more free space - so far enough for me. At this price point (paid 100GBP (PAYG) + 4GBP unlock) hard to complain (I don't play processor/graphics intensive games though). In some places/countries it sells for more; For sure for 150-200GBP you would find something better. Waiting for a root method without unlocking bootloader and Android 6, but can live without those for now.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gnome_mo:
Well, for me it's not games or anything (actually, the phone lagged right out of the box!), but interface, especially when switching screens and pulling down notifications (sorry if I seem confusing - English is not my first language) is choppy as hell! And everything seems so slow, comparing to my old Nexus 4. It only gets better when I kill all recently used apps. But seriously, that's what I used to do when I had Sony Sola with 512 MB RAM! I seriously doubt that this is normal behavior for a phone with 2 GB RAM and 8 core processor.

I just hope that Sony fix it with Marshmallow, news seem promising.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Just in case, do you have the most recent firmware update?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gnome_mo:
Yep. 26.1.A.2.167
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xAlDubx:
I have the 16gb dual (E2333), definitely not the best phone out there. but comparing to other phones on the same level/category and price group (midrange) M4 should be on the top (i.e. camera, water resistance).

you can play decent games to kill your time. but if you are into "heavy" games on the market, get a flagship phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gnome_mo:
Reading replies, I think that there may be difference between 16 and 8 GB models.

It seems to me that mostly 16 version users are happy with the phone.

I would like to hear more experiences with 8GB model to see if lag is a common issue or maybe isolated case with my phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Culex316:
My LG G4 died but before that I had a Galaxy Nexus and that phone was at least able to run game smoothly that makes this Xperia m4 aqua stutter! It's amazing. I think the CPU governor is too damn conservative.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FawkiDied:
Is there a rom with customizaition + battery life + knock codes? if not how do I revret back to old stock 5.0 rom with keeping my root?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RapHaeL_4_4_4_:
Knock codes is only one stock and stock based rom.

For the battery life it depend on your kernel settings.

And for the customization, its limited since you need a stock-based rom.

But I recommend you to try this one: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/rom-fulmics-rom-1-0-tweaks-ota-v20u-t3232340

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Diesel47:
Hey guys, I have a Nexus 7 16gb 2013 wifi running 5.1.1 lollipop LMY48G.

I'm trying to downgrade it to kitkat so I can install some software the only works correctly on kitkat on it.

I follow this guide: laptopmag(.com)articles/how-to-hard-reset-a-bricked-nexus-7-with-your-pc

and whenever I finish, I get a green android laying down with a red caution symbol ontop of him.

But the weird thing is I'm able to install 5.1.1 no issues using the same method, but if I pick anything older... The green android shows up..

Right now I'm back on a fresh 5.1.1 install.

Is there something I'm missing? From all my googling it seems like I should be allowed to installed kitkat no issues on this device. What am I missing?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] elonus:
Do you get that android after when you try to boot normally? If you turn it off and turn it back on again normally does it still show up? It is weird if it does because that sounds like the stock recovery, and shouldn't really show up unless you try to boot into it via the bootloader.

When you follow the guide, do you also do the last step, where you interrupt the reboot to lock the bootloader? If you do could you try to let it boot uninterrupted after the update?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Diesel47:
Hello, Thank you for replying..

I ran the flash-all.bat from the 4.4.4 image files stock from google and it got this error:

checking version-bootloader...

FAILED

Device version-bootloader is 'FLO-04.05'.

Update requires 'FLO-04.02'.

I guess my bootloader is too recent? Google does not want us downgrading?

Update: I ran fastboot oem unlock and was able to run the flash-all.bat

Now i'm waiting on the device to boot up, its currently stuck on a black screen that has white text in the middle saying "google".

Update: It is permastuck on the google screen... I don't know what to do :( Also to answer your question, yeah I reboot it multiple times. It doesn't work. If I choose "start" from the bootloader it will be stuck on the black google page permanently.

Is there some way I can just wipe the device and install 4.4.4 on it? Kinda like a regular PC?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] elonus:
You need to flash the bootloader before executing the flash-all file. To do that boot into the bootloader then use the command

"fastboot flash bootloader 'bootloader file'"

where bootloader file is the file with bootloader in its name you got from your zip file. Then

"fastboot reboot-bootloader".

Then you can use the flash-all file.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamkih:
First of all, I am newbie. I don't know much. I cant upload screenshot as newbie xda is not letting me upload any outside image. The Link To Action icon is not coming up. I am using Lollipop 5.0.1. What might be the reason?? Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] winst:
I listen to internet radio (shoutcast) with my U1000 (wm6) through a2dp, under HSDPA 3g network. My problem is, during in the bus or train, some regions does not have good 3g coverage which causes the streaming stop. Sometimes the music player can recover back, but most of the time it just stops until I manually click the play button.

I have tried the following players, and each of them has their own problem:

1. PocketMusic player

It supports AVRCP, so I assume I can just click "play" button in my bluetooth receiver. But the problem is, once the HSDPA connection disconnects, it doesn't try to connect back the network and just hangs there.

2. Resco Pocket radio

It doesn't support AVRCP. And it won't reconnect every time.

3. GSPlayer

It doesn't support AVRCP, and won't reconnect every time either.

So any suggestions or experience on that? Thanks!
[General Topics] batesie:
i'll give these apps a try, i'm searching for a good shoutcast stream player too, that supports connection over HSPA and WiFi.

if i find any others i'll be sure to let you know!

Works great except that that the apps on home screen are still placed very above
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mayank22:
I will provide screenshots ASAP but for now you can understand it as:

If you see an original (with OSB) version and see the app line just above the dock its at the same place in the non OSB version too just the dock has shifted down so now there is gap between the dock and apps

Hope I could make it clear

Also I will add screenshots after I reach home

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Same results for both like the previous non osb builds, the first app row is far up from the dock.

I think increasing the no. of rows on desktop will do the trick
