[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiafTB:
I have the same problem with lollipop. Stops charging around mid 80s percentage, with charge light flashing on and off rapidly. This is on stock 5.1.1 Rom and has been a problem ever since 5.x was released. Tried to RMA the device, but Sony says it's not faulty (after they fixed an unspecified electrical fault the first time around).

The only way I can charge to full now is using a 24 gauge USB cable to allow more power to be delivered to the tablet, but this was never necessary before with kitkat. Factory reset has no effect on the issue whatsoever.

Not sure what the exact cause is, but there is also a 44 page thread about it on the Sony support forum with pretty much no solid answers. I sincerely doubt reflashing will help us.

I don't know what happened but android is completely gone (the boot menu freezes when I tap on Android) and I have to hard reset into Windows. Is there a way I can just revert the partitions and android back to when I got the tablet? Dual boot android and Windows? I can only access Windows side right now. I don't care about any of the data on the tablet. I downloaded the stuff from

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oblox:
Its now happened 4 times always in the same place and Im wondering if its an issue with the Nexus or my carrier (or a combination of both) it never happened with my old Sony Xperia SP (call still dropped on xperia but always could dial or be called).

I go through a small village and the signal drops so call ends. Phone shows signal so I try and call back and call instantly says 'call ended'. The other person cant contact me either.

3 times its worked by turning off the phone then restarting it, today I had to restart then toggle aeroplane mode a few times before I could call, all the while the phone showed signal.

Is there anyone else who has experienced this behaviour? Its only this one location ive had the issue but not being able to reestablish a call is a real pain and shouldnt be happening from what I can see.

Network is EE in the UK.

I had that a long time ago with another rom so the memory is a little hazy.

The touch screen will be disabled, click the soft key under 'continue' or 'yes' (can't remember)

It should then boot up. You may then want to try and re-flash.

Hello everyone

I have a weird request but I hope someone can help

I'm looking for an android phone with bad viewing angle :D

somehow I am obsessed with privacy and I'm using phone between the crowds often

I tried using Privacy screen protector but it doesn't work well with vibrant screens ( I have to set the brightness to very low to give sort of privacy)

So now I m searching for 4.3"-5.5" android phone with medium specs at least with poor viewing angle ( will install privacy protector as well) , if anyone have experienced such a phone please help

Thx

PS I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this thread , sorry if it isn't
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] sherif2015:
hi,

has anyone come across something like that?

the back is made of glass so it only makes sense to put a screen protector on it
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] flintston314:
Well, as you do not need a back with the same touch experience as the front display, you could just use any PET protector for it?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] amirprog:
Pet is not glass... From what i see it does not give the feel, durability and transparency of a tempered glass.

I wonder if it is even possible to develop a curved edge to edge tempered glass bezel free that really works for the front and back, unlike these front "edge to edge" tg with that fake bezel which ruins the beauty of the front... If samsung listens to criticism then they must axe curved front and back for future galaxy phones (and the camera hump and front capacitive and physical buttons as well). Samsung, do you read?

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] flintston314:
Yeh, I know it is not glass, but honestly, for the back? I would not want a PEt film on the front because of the touch experience and the slight resistance added by PET, but for the back? Who gives.....I mean honestly, it´s not like the back is used for anything apart from holding that device. And durability might be an issue, however - you can just add a new one every month....those things are probably 1$ a piece.

I use one with a bezel for the front because it is currently the only decent glass protector - all the others do either have halo around the edges or leave a 2-3mm gap around - both looking terrible....
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] sherif2015:
yeah probably something like that

anyways, the reason is that the phone feels amazing and i hate to ruin that with a case or a skin

i dont find silver though
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] amirprog:
Kind of pointless products, in regard to this thread anyway, since they don't offer a true transparent tempered glass and there should not be a cutout for the samsung logo because it makes it ugly. I'd rather have a back case and not these so called "tempered glass" back protector. It just looks like a case, nice try...

I understand your preference for it over non edge to edge+halo. Imo, installing a tg with bezel look unpleasing as halo and non edge to edge or worse because it makes the phone look like a cheap phone... i can't decide which is worse.

I might try pet film for the back.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] geek78:
I hate the feeling of a pet film...Nice try... ;)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] amirprog:
You too? We are alike then. ;) I might experience with pet film only if i decide to order rhino shield...
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] flintston314:
I assume everyone hates the feeling of PET - but it´s for the back....so it´s not like you will be interacting a lot with that. However, if you have a "back" fetish, this might be an issue :)

So far I find the back ugly as hell anyway - goddamn that shiny glittery back looks tacky as hell. The silver titanium is even worse.....samsung must have made these phones for russian oligarchs. I ordered a leather wrap from slickwraps and i´ll slap that on as soons as it is here. Can´´t bare the look of that shiny mess.

But, the front is nice - and yeh, I would prefer an edge to edge Glass imo. I used one on the Nexus 5, the G3, my ipads. They all were completely edge to edge with barey any border and only with a single cutout for the speaker (or the button on the ipad). Those look so great - but for some reason they are hard to find.

Due to the rounded edges the all have a terrible halo now or are small as hell, barely covering the screen - with cutouts for everything, from speaker to camera to IR senser etc (which i find unnecessary - I did not have a problem with glasses that did not have cutouts - the IR, the camera, everything worked).

They could produce a decent tempered glass shiel that would fit, but it seems that there are one 2-3 manufacturers ou there and those do not build that stuff. Even the premium tempered glasses that come at 20-30USD come from the same factory....

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Insane Devil:
I am currently using the Skinomi Tech Skin for the ba k glass and its brilliant!

- Its non slip. You keep it on a table and try to push it around and it doesn't move easily.

- its self-healing. Scratches go away in few hours or less.

I have also applied the skinomi for the sides, and gives me a good anti slip grip. It also protects the sides from scratches while keeping it standing in my car's cupholder, etc.

Worth the money.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
How much difference in RAM usage between 720p & 1080p display? Z5c RAM way too low?

I've read several times, that a 720p display uses less RAM than a 1080p, plus the Z5c has a couple of extra features, like 500MB of ZRAM, which should make multitasking quite good and not a thing to worry about, despite the low RAM.

But here's the thing: Can anybody tell me, how much exactly is the difference in RAM usage between 720p and 1080p? I was never able to find hard numbers. Is it 50% because of half the resolution? Is it like 5% only or something else? Or is it flexible, depending on the apps? Or, if it's a fixed amount of megabytes, how much is it?

I'd love to get the Z5c due to the smaller size and it is about 100€ less than the Z5, but I'm also a heavy user and struggling very much with only 2GB of RAM in my current Z1.

I have at least 10 different apps running in the background all the time, like weather widget, several messengers, xposed, data counter, greenify, etc.

Plus, I usually like to open a lot of tabs in the browser, 10+ is quite often and my browser either craps out completely and closes itself or the tabs have to reload all the time, this even happens with only 2-3 tabs.

Same with apps.

They are almost always reloading, most of the time I can't even visit my "friends" in Simpsons Tapped out because the game crashes when I try to visit their cities or it crashes in my own town because it is too large.

The music player stops working during browsing or one of my running apps closes itself due to lack of RAM.

Is this normal, is the RAM really too low or am I just expecting too much from smartphones? I treat them like small computers, like the ads suggests. I guess, they are just too unrealistic.

The ONLY thing keeping me from going for the Z5c is the low RAM and this would be the only reason for the Z5.

Also, 2GB RAM is a 2012 standard, it's now 3 years old. After a usual usage time frame of the Z5c of 2 years, it's 5 years behind. I simply can't seem to get myself to buy an already outdated device in terms of RAM. For me, 4GB would be very welcomed.

Can anybody answer my questions regarding RAM usage or someone with a similar heavy use case can relate their experiences with the Z5c and RAM problems?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
The RAM is more than sufficient. I have been using this phone for some time now and I can keep any number of apps open in the background and they do not close.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

When I say "any number" I mean any number of apps that I need to keep running in the background. I've never run out of RAM on this phone. Whereas I see a lot of phones struggling with multitasking
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
I don't just mean many many foreground apps which I have started myself and switching between them, but also like 10+ apps which are running as soon as the phone has finished booting and which I want to run in the background all the time, without counting additional apps which I open on purpose. Apps always running are: Hangouts, facebook messenger, Whatsapp, weather widget, one handed mode, 3G Watchdog, onavo extend, proximity screen off, greenify, setcpu, automate it, afwall+, twilight. A total of 13 background apps plus many foreground apps. After everything has loaded after boot, I'm already down to 700MB free RAM, without any other open apps.

When RAM reaches 500 or below, the force closure starts.

How much is your available RAM after boot and with many apps running?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
i don't know if you are aware of it, but xposed module "app settings" has an option to keep chosen apps persistent in memory. I cannot assure it works, but probably it does. You could enable it on the apps you need to be kept open and then fill your memory fully, then see if Android system kills other apps (camera, gallery,...) instead of your favourite ones. This might be a workaround for you, or might not: if you open lots of tabs on your browser, Android kills other apps, while Windows would become sluggish but keep everything open and use the swap file. Regarding the swap theme, Android has the Zram function, a kind of swap file in the ram, that compresses some RAM in the RAM itself (at the cost of some CPU power). This might also be useful but don't know if it is already supported by stock xperia firmware or it must be implemented in a custom kernel.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
Well, available RAM really doesn't matter much. Lollipop especially is designed to take up as much RAM as possible. That makes the operations smooth and the processes run in the background. But I'll attach this here. I never clear the tasks and I always keep them running so I will have less RAM. But my apps don't close on me though
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
It seems 2GB ram doing fine on my Z5c, I guess because of it comes with ZRAM enabled in stock kernel(for the cost of cpu and battery). Yes, 720P spend much smaller amount of memory and cpu compared to FHD/2K. There are many reports confirmed on Z1/Z2/Z3/S6 board when people used resolution changer and found much more free ram available, you can try QHD 960x540 if you want even more free ram. :D

I got 1GB free ram after boot up and same with my S6 but since my S6 running 2K resolution with poor Samsung memory management, actually the Z5c performs better when deal with the killing apps problem. If you will use greenify donate ver to freeze all bloatware I think memory is good, the android 6.0 seems to have better memory and battery life as well.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
Can you tell me more about the resolution changer? Is it dangerous and can lead to a bootloop or not booting at all?

I don't use it on my S6. It won't bootloop or not booting but just some stock apps will have menu problem bcoz they are hard coded for native resolution, you may need to decompile those apks and edit some .xml files manually to modify the default resolution to make it works.

even my XZU with 2GB of RAM and 1080FHD is still perfectly able to multitask. no need to panic for such 2GB of RAM. yet. :fingers-crossed: well maybe when there's a game with big memory requirement in 2-3years time then you'll need more than 2GB but i bet it's not a game worth playing coz it's not mobile optimized and the devs are too lazy to optimize.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Default set at 507MB ZRAM, you can increase it to 1024MB if you wish :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
Yes, but only with root? And then you lose the warranty, camera functions, miracast and such because you need to unlock the bootloader.

A root exploit without bl unlock, like on my Z1, is what I'm hoping for. I also don't understand why manufacturers don't implement to gain root access via a simple reboot. Make the option available, display maybe 2-3 warnings and info screens before, then if you click yes, a reboot happens and you're rooted. Easy as this. No features lost, no exploits necessary which take forever to arrive, if at all, and involve downgrading and such. I think one manufacturer enables exactly this.

It would be unthinkable on a Windows or Linux system if there wouldn't be the option to work with full admin rights...so why is it the norm on Android and nobody bats an eye?!

Btw: I've tried the resolution changer and changed the resolution to 720p. Although this should have decreased the RAM usage, it actually increased it by around 100MB. How is that even possible?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_fury:
I think you answered your own question here. If you need a whole lot of RAM, you should probably look somewhere else.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
yes, it needs root and you loss warranty and DRM and such stuffs.

Linux like to cache things, if u got more free ram it might just cached even more. It won't used more 100MB ram in reality.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
The thing here is the Android 64-bits.

1080p device with 2GB RAM in Lollipop 32 bit = more than 1000MB of free RAM (average).

720p device with 2GB RAM (and zRAM) in Lollipop 64 bit = more than 550MB of free RAM (average).

Now, the resolution mostly affect the used RAM when gaming, there is not a big difference outside games.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansip87:
I have never seen free memory more than 1GB of RAM with my XZU. Right now it hovers around 600MB of RAM.

for gaming it is not an 'always' case so memory cleaning at the end should happened only 1% of the time you use the phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonwela:
Who cares about how much free ram there is? The ram is meant to be used and Android is made to use the RAM for caching and so on.

Talk instead about how well it runs in practice.

Anyone that has experienced any problems that could be because of the device only having 2GB of ram? Let us know.

If not, then I guess the fact that the Z5C "only" have 2GB ram is not a problem...(?)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
Here,me! I'm having a lot of problems because of low RAM and the whole purpose of this thread is to find out if the Z5c with its 720p display and zram and such makes a huge difference in RAM performance, if at all compared to my Z1 with also 2GB which is always reloading tabs, crashing games and apps, force closing apps due to lack of RAM, redrawing the home screen when exiting apps and so on.

If there's no big difference, then devices with only 2GB are not for me.

It's good that Android uses all the RAM for caching, but I strongly believe that in my case there is simply not enough RAM and that's why all my problems occur.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
And also Z5c uses LPDDR4 RAM if I am not mistaken. So that's actually more efficient. Well I have faced ZERO problems with multitasking. But I dunno about you

Well,

- Have you changed the rom?

- This is a new device, or used?

- When do you recognized this problem?

- You got this problem when the device is on the charger?

- Maybe the device got some water, sweat, or vapor?

- Try to remove the battery for 1-2-3 hours, then put it back and try to full charge the batt.

- Try to do a ROM update, with an official ROM.

After this, tell if the problem is still.
[General Topics] AndrewSh:
lvikel2, hopefully you mean real shutdown - not the sleep mode. I write so because you mentioned power saving for some reason.... So let's talk about the situation when your battery is fully charged.

Prior flashing the device and removing battery for several hours you should check one little thing - a small switch hidden under the battery unit cover. The cover has a special flange which pushes the small switch when the cover is closed properly. If the flange is broken or the switch under it is not good - you will get spontaneous shutdowns.
