sorry no offense but nowadays benchmarking with antutu is such silly idea and till now I can't figure out how people can really believe and happy based from their score benchmark than their own daily usage pattern

I never use xperia album, video and xperia home anymore... really prefer quickpic and nova launcher

here, take a look closer my video and see my screenshot below
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
i guess you right about antutu, the phone runs smoothly its all what important ,beside when he get hot and slows down (over 41C)

BTWi lost only 1-2% battery over night. data&wifi was off ,only 3G

ill try quickpic (to workaround the xperia album bugs) i've tried google photos, but its shows me photos that also not on my phone right now ,and its bothering
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ryandxter:
ahh for that problem just exclude specific folder which you don't want to appear on quickpic or add ".nomedia" file to those folder hope it will help (at least it works very well for me :D )

anyway I'm using Brevent this app working similar with greenify but more efficient for non rooted ROM, you should try it or deep sleep battery saver

hope those apps help you save more battery when totally idle

No many probs here

I agree. The only thing I see is RAM usage. Otherwise it's really cool...I've had probs before with mobile data but that seems to be solved.

I'm really in love with my little phone

I updated today OTA. I did not do a clean install and I have no issues at all. Everything is fine and fast.

Regarding RAM usage: It's a kind of Linux in the background and for this I can say - unused memory is useless memory ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chall3ng3r:
I updated via OTA, no major issues but just the memory usage. Apps star to crumble, start screen reloads every time I press home.

Couple of days back, I reflashed my phone with Companion app, it cleaned it all, and after restoring backup, some of the apps were missing.

The phone was really fast the first day, but as I started using Twitter and other few apps and logged in to mail accounts, the situation is back to where it was.

The normal memory usage is too high after 12hrs of phone restart. Android OS process starts at 700mb, which gives good performance, but around 12hrs mark, its at 1.2gb to 1.4gb, so other apps don't get enough memory to run.

I think this is a major memory leak kind of bug. It wasn't the same in last update, and I managed to go without restart upto a week.

I really hope Sony is working on an update to fix this issue.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
i removed quickpic it the same as the sony gallery (for sharpning the photo while zoom in after ) 5-15 serc for quickpic and sony mostly happends in large photos

only google photos much faster about 1-2 sec (make more sense)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] doclloyd:
I'm still waiting for the 7.1.1 update (Customized UK), but I've also been seeing some insane memory usage by Android OS and less so by Play Services. I'm beginning to suspect some Google Play Services is masking memory usage under the OS. This is getting insane!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chripz:
Yesterday morning I received the update in Germany and did it via OTA.

I can not share those bugs!

RAM usage is nearly the same but rather lower.

After the Android 7.0 update my Z5C lean to overheating and the battery drain was higher than before (even after clean install). As always I was following this forum regarding the update and after reading your posts I was unsure if I should try it. Therefore, I am even more surprised that the battery life is way better after the update! 90% left after 21hours | 85% left after 1 day 5 hours

WiFi & Bluetooth (connected with Gear Fit 2) were always on, also there is a permanent Exchange ActiveSync, WhatsApp and 2 other E-Mail-Accounts with Push-Methode running. So at the moment I am quite happy with the update!:victory:

Screens (I can't attach them due to new account): http: // imgur.com/HINwgML and imgur.com/jFXpQIz

Additional Note: As always I deactivated most of the pre-installed Apps (FB, MovieCreator, Spotify...). I bought the phone 2015

SDCARD problem

Hello,

I'm french user with Z5C on 7.1.1 since 5 days. A clean Install. I have sames problems, I/O problems on SDCARD. My SDCARD isn't crypt. When program (beyondpod, solide explorer, album, games....) wants accessed to SD, it's very slow. I see strange thing with beyondpod. There are podcasts with a very long path SDCARD/android/data/mobi.beyonpod/podcas/podcast/podcast/podcast/podcast/"podcast name"..... I use SD MAID 4.7.5 pro for find it.

With 7.0.0 my SDCARD are very fast.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tronjojo:
Sorry for noob question, but how do I clear those caches? Do I need a custom recovery installed?

i'm pretty sure you can wipe your cache with the default recovery as well.

Hey all,

I did the update yesterday and have had network connectivity issues ever since. I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls at all. I tried playing with the apn settings but have had no luck. What is driving me crazy is the texts going through intermittently.

Anyone here have similar problems? Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] reverend remiel:
I've had major issues with 7.0.1 for weeks - phone all of a sudden started getting very hot, draining battery like a waterfall, system menus and screen became unresponsive, apps became unstable and crashed and I couldn't take any pictures regardless of whether I wanted to save to internal memory or SD card. Nothing but a restart or two would fix it; sometimes I even had to do a hard reset to get it to respond to anything. So, when the 7.1.1 update dropped I jumped on it, thinking it couldn't possibly get any worse. I was wrong.

The list:

Number 1, 3, 5, 6 and 9 I haven't experienced (yet), but 2, 4, 7 and 8 are definitely present and so annoying, that if I had a full backup and a spare phone, my Z5C would reach EOL against a wall in pure frustration. The battery drops from 100% to 5% in less than 8 hours with little to moderate use. The camera app crashes evey now and then, but so does pretty much every other app as well, so I'm not sure if it's related to the phone getting so hot it's painful to hold or that everything seems to suck more memory after the update. The phone gets ridiculously hot all the time, even when not in use, which has obvious stability problems, so whenever I'm in the car I'm placing the phone directly over a vent to cool it. Not ideal, but it seems to help a bit with the overheating and thus the overall stability.

Phone is bone stock save Arrow Launcher (used to use Apex Launcher until I figured that was the culprit), custom wallpaper (static) and ring tone. What pisses me off the most is that everything was working perfectly on Lollipop, but once MM dropped, everything started going pear-shaped. I thought things were supposed to get better with every update, but as it stands now, it's near useless.

Any suggestions for a phone with similar or better hardware and similar screen size that isn't Sony? I'm jumping ship, this is just atrocious.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NeoBeum:
I posted that on Sony board a while ago, but it got swept away

... mainly for bluetooth, but it still fixes most.

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-Transfer-Streaming-Tether/m-p/1230949#M36732

there's some nfc changes that might end up in a update soon too
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] eferrari.:
Did you try doing a factory reset? I had the laggy issues on 7.0 too and after updating to 7.1.1 my phone worked fine for a day, but the RAM problem kept keeping back, so I decided to give it a factory reset, as it is always better to do it after an update. Now my phone works fine.

✓ 1. I can delete my photos inside the Album app.

✓ 2. Video cam didn't crash yet.

✓ 3. No such issue

✓ 4. Battery drain not as bad as 7.0

✓ 5. Bottom speaker works fine

✓ 6. I think this is a problem of APN configuration, maybe that some guys just forget after wiping data. No problem for me.

✓ 7. Around 1,4 GB instead of 1,7~1,8 on 7.0 where multitasking almost didn't work and apps where slow as hell.

~ 8. Phone still gets a bit warm

✓ 9. SD Card works fine.

And for me most importantly the bluetooth bug is gone I guess. Also bluetooth did somehow take much RAM before on 7.0 I guess.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Linkdk:
The new 7.1.1 update is, after a day or two, using 99% of the available memory and gets seriously slow. I have to restart it every so often. I really hope they will fix this soon.

I did a factory reset too, it didn't change anything.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chall3ng3r:
Now after reflashing 7.1.1 via Companion app, I started camera app to make video for the first time, and it crashed after 2 seconds.

It was working before on 7.1.1 when I first got the update via OTA.

So, reflashing messed up the camera app, and memory issue is the major headache.

Anyone got video recording working with 7.1.1?

Update: I got the video recording to work by making it record in HD resolution instead of Full HD. I can live with it until the next update :)

Should I reflash again to see if video recording starts working?

System Memory starts with 600-800 MB, goes all the way to 1200 MB

Has anyone figured out what is causing System Memory consumption to grow? My phone starts at 600-800 MB, less than 24 hours later it is at 1200 MB and that's when I have to reboot to keep the device usable. I'm referring to System Memory as reported by Developer Options -> Running Services.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chall3ng3r:
Same issue with my Z5C too, currently have to reboot twice in 24hrs to keep memory under 1gb.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] 2clubbers:
I put on my Z5C German 7.1.1 Customised, with a clean install with Flashtool.

After first boot I did a full wipe in Android Settings.

Than I flash stock modded kernel to have a root. I have no bugs that you listed above. Everything works smooth, also battery has same condidtion like on 7.0 stock and custom that I had previous.

In benchmark I have 88216 points.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] KOala888:
For me, after clean install without SU works better than 7.0 custom rom. The only problem is high memory usage, so e.g. spotify gets killed when I pause music.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] joergla1980:
Installed the OTA update yesterday and could not experience any problems (difference performance / behaviour than before) yet.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RoundTop:
Installed the update last week, no problems so far. Android seems a bit faster than before, although I have to admit I had serious problems with the Amazon Underground app which caused massive battery drain and overheating because it constantly rebooted itself. Took myself ages to find out because the battery info screen only showed Android OS or Android System as the main culprits.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] reverend remiel:
No, I was traveling and didn't really want to risk being stuck with a phone that didn't work at all. Now I'm home and pretty much all apps just crash and burn at this stage, even stock apps like Phone. Camera app crashes every time I start it, and most other apps get stuck for a while then run while the OS reports that the app has a problem; continue yes/no. If I tap no, the app closes, if I tap yes, the app closes. Lose-lose, no matter what I do.

I'll grab a backup of the important stuff on the phone and nuke it from orbit, then reload 7.1.1 from scratch and see if that fixes the problems. If not, I have to roll back to a previous version, and then I might as well just roll back to Lollipop since I had zero issues with anything at that point. Since the phone is 16 months old and thus out of warranty, I could've just rooted it and loaded something bloat free on it, but I'm not sure I can be bothered...

Anyway, what's the preferred method of reloading the stock OS these days? Flashtool? Xperifirm? Sony PC Companion or whatever it's called this week?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chall3ng3r:
I did reflash using Xperia Companion app, and it was good.

Just that this update needs a restart after 12hrs, otherwise it eats too much memory that app start to slow down. Even returning to home will reload launcher.

Disabling the movie creator app, reboot into safe mode. And reboot again solved memory issues here.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] xPandamon:
Clean installed with Flashtool, not even one of the counted problems. RAM is at 1,4GB after a day, using Smart Launcher 3 Pro. Most commonly used app is spotify, aswell as youtube and chrome, some games and 9gag and i cant say anything bad about the update except 2-3 small things: fingerprintsensor stops working sometimes, it just says hardware not available, a restart fixes this. Played a video in the youtube app, got sound but no video, restarting the phone also helped. Working pretty well otherwise, these two are just pretty annoying and i dont know what causes this.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] doclloyd:
After a day or so once I disabled Movie Creator, I've noticed far better performance overall for me and less memory usage. Wonder what it's trying to do in the background all the time to eat up RAM.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chall3ng3r:
By default, I saw it was set to automatically make video highlights from photos and videos taken with camera. So, it might be scanning and processing photos and videos in background.

I disabled option to make automatically, but didn't disabled the whole app. As I was not using it, I just disabled whole app.

I'll report if I see this memory issue is fixed from it or not.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chall3ng3r:
So, 26hrs later the memory situation is certainly much better compared to before disabling Movie Creator app.

The battery usage high because I was using mobile today for streaming talkshows, SOT 6.5hrs.

This also confirms, Movie Creator app causes memory leak in 7.1.1. Disabling it fixes it.

No Problems

I normally wipe my phone and do a fresh install with each major update. However, because of all the negative comments here, I decided to just do an OTA update and leave things as they were. After 3 days I have to say that I'm satisfied with 7.1.1. No issues so far. The phone seems to run a bit cooler. My battery usage, while not spectacular, seems to have improved about 20%; 30 hours instead of 25 hours. My Stamina mode setting is also very limited; set to activate at 15% battery. I haven't seen any app slowdowns or glitches. Please note that I've got a very plain vanilla setup. I'm not rooted; I see no reason to at this point.

An addendum. I forgot to mention that I've had Movie Creator disabled for some time. I generally disable any apps that I don't use and can't uninstall. That may account for my lack of problems.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] BlackFriar:
Just to reiterate, as bizarre as it sounds I've found disabling Movie Creator to solve the memory leak problem as well. Been running like this for 4-5 days.

Went from ~15MB free memory over 3 hours/12 hours back to a normal ~250MB summed over the same period. As we'd expect, I no longer suffer from the slow performance in opening, using programs or returning to the home page (icon refresh, etc)

I'd agree with you chall3ng3r that it has a memory leak.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Cerhio:
So I previously had problems with 7.1.1. but seeing how things are working by disabling Movie Creator, I'm gonna give it a try. I've had almost all the problems listed in the first post so I'll let you guys know how it works.

For what it's worth I had similar issues on 7.0 after rolling back (though not quite as bad). Disabled Movie Creator and the problems are gone.

Update on mobile data issue:

I've tried doing a Dalvik/Cache wipe, network settings reset and trying out different APNs from my provider, etc. but none of that really helped far as I can tell.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Cerhio:
Look up that Pictorial guide to Installing 7.xx that's floating around the front page. He has some very specific things about how to clean install it right but if you've been rooted and flashing your phone for a while, its pretty much the same thing except he's added some fixes that are applied together with the recovery. I can't explain it right but he has data and wifi fixes that have pretty much saved my phone.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tiger Shark:
OK, so I just got the OTA notice (25 min ago) and am reluctant to update based on this thread and the one on the Sony forum. I acquired the phone with 7.0 installed and a factory reset done with it. I wonder if when the last reset was done has any impact on the mixed results.

Is there a compelling reason I would want 7.1.1 even if I knew I'd have none of the reported problems? 7.0 is working quite well for me. It's at least as battery efficient as my old Galaxy 5 mini, which Samsung quit updating, and I keep it in a pouch on my belt, not in a pocket, which may help any overheat issue. It's certainly not warm to the touch.

As for the annoying update notification, I did a long touch of it and selected "show notification icon only" -- no effect. I disabled fota update service and that did nothing. Then, even after rebooting, the "disable" button for the update service is unavailable and it doesn't seem to be because it's already disabled since it doesn't show up in disabled apps. Now, I just got a pop-up to update and I selected "Don't show me this again" and I still have the annoying notification, even after a reboot. Hopefully, I at least won't get the pop-up again. Is there any way, on a non-rooted phone, to get rid of this notification?

I did discover that i had "Auto download system updates" enabled and I also have "auto install updates" set for 3:00am and I cannot disable it. But right now the action it wants me to take is "Download" (with no "Go away" option) and I have disabled automatic download, so I hope I won't be updated without my consent.

I don't use it very often, but the last two times I tried to use Android pay (once at a store and once as payment through a hotel booking app) it failed.
