Yeah I agree, not sure what the thoughts were with it either. Owell, hopefully they will have some tweaks to it. The good thing is that it really isn't a big concern. If I already saw the email on my phone before the notification came in then I'm not that concerned about seeing it on my watch. The situation just won't come up very often as I don't just stare at my email app waiting for emails to come in haha. Just more of thought it was an interesting way they did things. Would be nice to know how that back end for that is working.

Either way, maybe it is because it is my first smart watch, but so far I'm still loving it even with some bugs and a lack of apps.
[Samsung Gear S2] crimekilla:
I just got a s2 classic, I am experiencing the same issue, I delete the messages from my phone, and they still show on the watch, I have tried removing gear from my phone and reinstalling, but it did not work, I still have the same issue.

any other people have this issue and have any other advice on fixing it.

thanks

Hi everybody. i have newbie question here:

Is there any Himalaya's original clean wm2005 rom which don't add any 3rd party program?

I know it's hard to find 100% perfect rom, but at least every major function works

thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] bearshare:
There's no original WM5 Rom for Himalaya, I think so, then you can't find it nowhere. But, I think the purest I've ever used is Buzz 3.33a. It's extremely stable, nice, damm fast, and without 3rd party softwares. I already stuck with it for years 'cause it's great (Hey, but take a look at Helmi's WM6 Rom that's coming out)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
I'm posting this as i think Sony doesn't know what they are doing anymore, they are not in control of their mobile dev department, its a real mess.

After years of experiencing android market, Sony reinventing the wheel every time they come up with something new, the latest example is the Z5 series

they released a device with half a day battery life under fair usage, they are marketing it as a 2 days battery ready

they forgot to add the correct drivers for the bluetooth and wifi, that's why the bower consumption is really high when both left on without connecting to BT headset or Wi-Fi

the camera is far from the expectations, lagy, hardly focus, image optimization is at the worst, extremely noisy, file size is at the highest, please do a fair comparison between this camera and any other mid-range device, even Huawei doing much better than Sony camera, the weird thing is they are selling their camera module to most of the high-end manufacturers, but others knows how to perfectly use this module.

even their own apps like "Smart Connect" it doesn't trigger the required action upon device pairing to a bluetooth for example

Stamina Clock disconnects the mobile data :D believe me it does

"Adaptive Brightness" is not correctly functioning, it extremely exposure the screen brightness for seconds before it detects the correct settings

sound drivers are sh*^%&t, stereo speakers are not well calibrated, and after every Facebook call or disconnecting noise cancelling headset, I have to readjust ringer and call volumes again

Sony fans stay away please, no need for (my device lasts for full 5 years with only 10% battery) as this is a lie, I factory rest and repaired my device 6 times with all possible settings before I post this, this post is not for you guys, I was a Sony fan, starting from Xperia Z, Z1, Z2, Z3, and finally this sh%^ty Z5P, and unfortunately am an advanced user and i know Sony mobiles behavior

Good luck everyone, stay away from Sony mobiles this year if you care about your money, you won't be satisfied unless you are a beginner, or you have the patience to wait for months for an update to fix a bug and bug another, till finally after ages they fix their firmware.

Lucky you, none even one problem with your Xperia Z5P, that's cool while Sony knows these issues and promising for an upcoming update to fix these issues, you -the only one on planet- who has none of the above at all, and I'm the story teller?? :D

these are just examples, i can post tons of links ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] vansmuk:
You sound like a fairly smart and technical dude so I'll give u the benefit of the doubt and try to stay constructive.

There are a number of quirks with the Z5P that we all wished were not there, just like there are many quirks with every single phone in it's first months of release :)

There will be fixes for the MINOR bugs you are mentioning and there is no reason to blow it out of proportion like a teenager on her first period. I mean if Smart Connect, adaptive brightness(no issue here), Stamina clock and readjusting volume after FB call is you idea of "STAY AWAY FROM SONY" issues, I think you have some serious unresolved ones. Not trying to offend you, just a friendly observation.

As far as camera, battery and wireless drivers(?!), you either got a faulty device, or you are smoking some fine dope and I want in on it ;)

Camera pics (low light especially) made a pal of mine switch to Z5 from an iPhone. I was at a party on Saturday and people were borrowing my phone to take pics and send to themselves afterwards. As objective as it comes. .

I haven't switched off BT or WiFi ever since I became a Sony user(Z, Z1, Z2). Z5P does noticeably worse than my Z2, which was a power stamina beast, but it still holds up to the two day promise Sony makes (~4 hours of screen time, stamina mode - On, wifi/BT - On, adaptive brightness set to medium). I easily start a morning with 100% and last to next day evening. I am not a power user and rarely play games on it, so if you do, I can see your frustration. The Snapdragon 810 is infamous with its power starve.

As for the "tons" of links with bad feedback, it is true for every single piece of hardware. Simple human behavior is that they rarely write on a forum about a positive experience.

My advice is, write down all the issues you are having, send back your phone for a warranty service (even invent a few if it helps your case) and see if they can swap it.

Otherwise you can keep whining and badmouthing, it's your choice, but it's also no way to live a life ;) Put a nice smile on and make it better

Cheers
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jordy787:
I'm on the fence on choosing a z5premium or a iPhone 6s plus. ..which one do you think I should get? How's the front camera on the z5premium I'm into social media and use snap chat alot so I want a good selfie camera. .as well as a good rear camera and how long do you guys think the next premium model drops ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] AndroidAppleWindows:
Which version of the premium do you have? Is it dual? Is it E6883? I wonder if bugs are only in certain versions of the phone. Especially the battery issue. I got the dual E6883 and I feel like the battery is not lasting how it should.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] vansmuk:
Both have a good front facing camera. The Sony one captures a little more (wider lens) but the quality is not different enough to drive a decision. Right now, before a Firmware update, you'll be happier with the 6s Plus.

After Sony releases a couple of updates, I think the Sony will be the better phone.

The rear camera is better on the Sony but that is subjective to my picture preferences. On the objective side, Sony's lenses are much wider and capture more of the scene and it has a camera button, which I wouldn't swap for anything. the 6s Plus does have OIS tho. Videos tend to be a little less shaky.

pick the one u like in your hand. I am not a fan of apple's product line but that's on a personal level so I can't recommend against it.

gd luck

P.S. If you'r not in a hurry, my advice is - wait till spring. The Z6 line will be a lot better. Rumors are there will be 5 screen sizes to pick from and lot of goodies. And in case they suck, you can grab the Z5P cheaper. The only reason I got mine was a random Black Friday promo for 50% off ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jordy787:
Probably when the marshmallow update drops soon it will be alot better huh? Yeah the camera button would be nice !! i wanted a rear camera closest to a dslr so the z5p is probably that. I heard the z5p has a better stabilizer..Do you think a new model z5p will drop soon? i guess thats my main concern, i dont want the phone to depreciate after Christmas and i know iphones dont hardly do that haha. Hows your battery life ??

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

edit: Do they still have that black friday promo? lol and i should probably get a iphone 6s plus then since i can easily resell it for alot (seem to hold value). i found a 6s plus 128gb for $700 new
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] vansmuk:
Nah, was just a 12 hour promo on a Swedish provider :)

If u want to hold value, iPhone would be a better option. U'll be happy with both.

Battery is fine. I miss my Z2's marathon stamina but I easily get two days and it will get better with andro M.

In the end, its a lifestyle choice, dude. They cover different needs and have a different customer base. If u want pretty, shiny and easy to use - go 6s Plus. If u want to tinker, customize and a more real experience in a tougher shell - its Sony. Go play with both of them in a store.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jordy787:
2 days seems amazing, on my s6 edge plus i sold i got around 10hrs only with probably 2-3sot. Guess i gotta think this through lol... do you have any camera samples? or any samples on instagram or something ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] vansmuk:
Thats quite disappointing. People here don't like it when they get "only" 4-5 hrs SOT on the Z5P ;)

loads of samples and a decent review
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
Thanks man for your reply, but when you pay around $850 to get a Z5P in my country -with no warranty BTW-, and after days of waiting for it to be delivered to find out you've paid this for a downgraded version of your current device (Z3) which lasts easily for a day with heavy use, most of issues were fixed (except for the call and ring volumes and Smart connect actions), battery smooth UI, no lags, fair camera, ...etc, imagine the impression man, paying such amount of money to be downgraded to half a day battery usage, software issues here and there, practically same camera results.

add to this, being in a poor country, no Sony support, all the above issues are hidden to the normal user, advanced digging needed to reach out for solutions, this is not like a teenager on her first period, this is called disappointment
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] vansmuk:
Im originally from Bulgaria, mate. I don't have to imagine. But being from the third world you must also be aware that the lowest quality batches get send there and you need to be extra careful. As far as warranty goes, there is no such thing as "no warranty" with a big name brand. You can always send it to a Sony service center outside your country. You just have to communicate that through the correct channels. I managed to do it with a Nokia and a Samsung in my teens. You are a big boy, you'll figure it out :)

Now the disappointment part. It's not the feeling I am referring to. It's the process you are going through to handle it. This is a forum where people come together to be helpful/get help. Thanks to topics and posts like yours it is becoming a mundane and unhelpful place where people come to vent and whine without really seeking a solution, which makes it a less helpful place. Essentially you are making the world a ****tier place. By a very little amount of course, but it contributes :)

What was wrong with posting in the Q&A, troubleshooting section, explaining your problems and ask nicely if people have the same and what could be a solution?

Also don't be mad at Yolo. He has the right to be frustrated, just cannot express it very well.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] gparmar76:
I have the 6853 and honestly it works great... The camera is definitely better than the iPhone 6S+...my wife uses that and I took a ton of pictures using both...the Sony is considerably better...no phone is perfect but right now I don't think there's anything better than the Z5P...Android M will be out soon and it will only get better...the one thing that Sony is wrong on is Battery....as a heavy user, I get one full day usage, not 2...but its usually hovering around 15-20% when I finally put it back on the charger...another thing I noticed was that Sony's quick charger is slower than others...I have a $9 certified Qualcomm quick charger I got from Amazon that charges the phone from 2-3% to 100% in one hour...and I get it up to like 70% in 30-35 minutes.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] paullu:
Only battery drain a little bit too fast other then is perfect for me.

Before z5p I had use moto x prue ,nexus 6p, lumia 950xl but I feel z5p is better one
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] ivrsn_des:
i've used the z, z1, z ultra (still have this beast), z3, z3 tablet compact, and recently got the z5 premium.

I've never gotten a lemon in any of those devices, and none of those problems happened to me before.

the z5 premium's performance is blowing all those out of the waters now so I guess I'm just one lucky son of a gun ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Mobfigurz:
I am still using my Z1 and it has never had a single issue in over two years but I am contemplating getting the Z5 Premium in black.

How would you rate it next to the Z1, take into consideration that o have not used or owned any other Z series device.

Would it be a massive jump and difference in user experience, in a positive manner?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] fancymans:
I'll be brutally honest here. Go with the iPhone. It's the best phone for social media. I've been using the Z5premium for a little longer than a week now and I can tell you that the front facing camera is definitely not as good as the one on the iPhone. It also doesn't take pictures as fast as the iPhone does. However I will say that the Z5's rear camera does take better photos than the iPhone, albeit slower due to post-processing.

There's also a weird glitch with the camera when taking videos of extremely detailed subjects on Snapchat. I don't know when this will be fixed, but I do know that it looks distorted and really weird. I wish I could show you a sample, but the snap was a few days ago.

This is not to say that I don't love this phone though. For more reasons I like this phone better than my iPhone. There are just a few things that the iPhone simply does better. But hey, no phone is perfect.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jordy787:
i ended up ordering a 6s+ on ebay haha thanks for replying back! I know exactly what you mean, they haven't optimized the camera yet for snapchat i had that happen with my old g4 ..only way to fix that is to use the 3rd party snapchat app called "casper" it allows you to use original camera app. idk what it is but iphones always tend to have the better front camera even with being a lower resolution. Main reason i did not get the z5p is because there is rumors with the z6 plus/ultra coming out soon so i would rather stick with something that wont depreciate yenno;)

From the little info you provided, I can see that your phone barely sleeps. I assume its all the email + other apps constantly syncing in the background and creating wakelocks.

charge to full, use as normal and when u provide the screenshots next time, click on the Graph and provide a shot of that screen as well.

Maybe we can help if you give more info on what accounts u have syncing in the background and what are your Location settings etc.

[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
just received the ZVI update this morning. On one hand, I guess I should be pleased that LG cares just enough to keep updating this old device with security improvements and updates. After Toting back to ZVE and updating to ZVH, my GPS seems to be working finally. Was flaky to non functional since I got it(refurb from Freedompop) on ZVG.

However, it;s a pain in the butt to restore the firmware back to ZVE and lose root.

Please let us know if you figure out how to get root back on ZVI and thanks again

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the OTA update nag message or prevent the download of the update.zip file? Is there an APK I can freeze using Titanium Backup? Most annoying thing about the OTA update is that it doesn;t seem to care if you are on wifi or mobile data when it downloads/redownloads(which it will do infinitely).
[Sprint LG G2] astherion:
It seems that ZVI non-rootable for now:( Shame! Security fix from 01-11-2015, so they fix holes in system = no-root. Back to ZVH, or cm13...
[Sprint LG G2] linyincsz:
you root zvi?
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Sorry to hear all of you weren't able to achieve root with the new update using the older method. I'm glad I stopped by here to do some reading before I updated. I was going to TOT back this weekend and take ZVI. Root is a must since I use the hotspot mod so ZVI is gonna hate to wait.

Hopefully someone will figure out a way around the newest security patch soon.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Need a little help disabling the ZVI OTA notification. I've tried several older methods but none have worked. I've selected the install later option but as you all know, the notification persists in the drop down menu. If possible, I would like to do away with it entirely until a method of rooting ZVI is created. Any info on disabling the notification would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I had to disable notifications from Google Services Framework by long clicking the system update notification then clicking info and that did it.

Thanks. I used that method with my 1st Android phone using the Autostarts app. I just flashed CM12.1. I'll give it a try when I restore stock.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
LMAO. I misunderstood you. I thought you actually went into the system processes and disabled the Google framework. That's what I originally used the Autostarts app for with my Prevail. After rereading your post more carefully, I understand what you did and how easy it was. I'm still LMAO! Thanks man. That was an easy fix. :D

Edit : I just restored my rooted stock ZVH backup. I gave Cm 12.1 a try today and it didn't seem to get near the battery life. I may give it another try down the road but I'm gonna stick with rooted ZVH for now.

Chicken and egg scenario. To get twrp or any custom recovery, you have to be rooted. Nobody has figured out how to root zvi yet.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Yep. I've been checking XDA daily hoping to find that someone has found a way to get ZVI rooted. Still patiently waiting lol. On the bright side, at least ZVH has the stagefright update, can be rooted, has TWRP, and has a working hotspot mod. I'm getting great battery life too.
