Lags!!! - Xperia Z5 General

Guys, i`m using Z5 for 3 days, and i have to say that there`s constantly lags in the interface! I didn`t install any special hard apps, i`m using standard apps, what`s app, maps, some benchmarks, 2-3 games.. I don`t know what could it be ? I thought that lags maybe because of SD card. I turned it off, but lags still exists.
Does anyone else has it ?

My Z5 has a little bit lag too.

Mine seems ok. Do you find it throughout or just using the home launcher etc? I come from a Nexus 5 and it seems just as smooth but i have scrapped off stock launcher for Google now launcher

Same story here Bro. Most of my lags are in the browser, camera app and closing apps. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates. I'm also not happy with my camera, my old G3 has shaper pictures. The camera in this seems a tad blury.

im pretty sure its a software issue, even Z1 didn't have this kind of UI-lag, compared to Z3 it's a joke, it's nothing wrong with the Z5 hardware
hope Sony fix it with a update soon.

Mine lags too, especially when switching back from app drawer to widget pane where weather and other widgets are placed on the same screen
Stuttering is strongly visible

Mine lags and stutters quite a lot. Only standard apps installed too.
I think this firmware, although it says 5.1.1, is old. Seems more like the 5.0.2 version.
Note when you plug in the charger, you can see 'time to charged' notification on the lock screen.
The Z1 and the Z3 both lost this feature when upgrading from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1
Mine lags a lot when using the 'close all' button on the recent screen.
Initial release firmware for ya. Updates will come.

How about if you stop using the close all apps button and let the system do it's job and see if you still get the lags. We're not on gingerbread any more. The clear all button is pointless

i blocked and deleted some system apps trough adb and for me isn't any lag.

I disabled some apps I don't use, installed a different launcher (Nova Prime) and the lag is non-existent now. I had some lag/stutters with the stock launcher though and I was disappointed at first when I received and used my phone fort the first time.

You are right there. It does work faster when you don't clear the background apps.
I said somewhere else that this firmware feels old to me, compared to my Z3. The time to charge notification on the lock screen for example. That disappeared when updating my Z1 and Z3 to 5.1.1, but it's still on the Z5, and some options are missing, like smart rotation.
I'm sure the lags will get ironed out over time with updates.

To be honest it feels like Sony didn't want to waste too much time and resources on Lollipop for the Z5 since Marshmallow is around the corner. The Z5 is a new phone and Lollipop will be at best a transition firmware.

Yeah, I think so to. I'm even wondering if they'll bother with any updates to 5.1.1. Depends when they're looking to roll out 6 I guess.

Time until charged is still there on stock Google roms even on Marshmallow so i assume Sony decided to remove it

nope, root doesn't needed.
you have to install adb on pc and enabled usb debugging on z5
then you have to open cmd as admin and connect phone via usb cable
now navigate to folder when you have installed adb for egz. c:\adb
then write adb usb, wait till connect to phone, agree connection on it
now you can use some options to hide (lock) or uninstall some apps
Code:
adb shell
pm hide com.sonymobile.androidapp.cameraaddon.areffect
pm hide com.google.android.gm
pm hide com.google.android.play.games
pm hide com.google.android.apps.plus
pm hide com.sonymobile.playanywhere

pm hide com.mobisystems.fileman
pm hide com.google.android.apps.hangouts
pm hide com.google.android.music
pm hide com.sony.snei.vu
pm hide com.google.android.apps.docs
exit
adb reboot
here you have code what im using, you can also try change "hide" to "uninstall" and try if something can be uninstalled.
for the end write reboot on cmd and exit. thats all. cheers

the previous Z5 i had which was a REV 2 E6653 also lags after clicking "clear all button," with the new device they sent me which is REV 3 has the same issue. I seriously dont know what is causing this lag for this button lol. Hope it is a software bug.

on Rev 4 -- TW model -- same issues, did a factory reset, which weirdly enough fixed a lot of the lag for me. Though honestly.. Android L is just terrible. Hopefully Sony just dropped L to work on M.

So much drama. I have experienced zero lag with this phone. It's a very good phone and my. 1st non nexus phone. If you have doubts, go into the store and give it a spin

Things you like/dislike about Lollipop 5.0.1 on your Edge

Hello everyone,
I made this topic so everyone can mention things he/she like or dislike about new Lollipop updates and things you want Samsung to consider on the coming updates.
Things i like
1. The sound on speaker and headset seem much higher.
2. The camera app seem faster on every aspect.
3. Ability to change folders color.
4. Recent app is smoother and faster.
Things i dislike.
1. Shout icon on the camera app moved from edge part of the screen.
2. Heads-up notification is useless on the edge device and samsung was better to disable it.
Other things i leave for you guys to comment and discuss
I'm on T-mobile so I don't have lollipop update yet but I'm surprised you didn't mention ART. Do you see a significant improvement in performance? Especially in the UI. I noticed a big difference on my Note 3 when updating to Lollipop.
Don't have 5.0.1 yet, only read opinions of Note 4 users.
I heard that there is no silent mode, just only vibrations and normal sound.
Second - now you can't block calls, notifications etc. (blocking mode) from X hour to Y hour. Now it has name "ALL" (wtf?) and i heard it's worse than older "blocking mode".
For me worst thing in Lollipop is this one you mention in point 1.
Camera button on edge was perfect, and now it's in the same place like in others phones
Maybe there is chance to install camera from 4.4.4 ? Because it's only thing that keeps me from upgrading system from KK to LP.
Yep i didnt mention all goodies.
*Definitely there is a significant improvement in performance du. to ART.
*Silent mode is exist and works.
* there is 'Do not disturb' mode and you can enable schedule option and seem more advance than blocking mode.
Need more information from you. Then i will update the list in the first post
Likes:
'Places' functionality and associated edge panel
Dislikes:
With the flip case and no lock screen, on opening the cover the express me panel appears on the edge, rather than the first selected edge panel. So that means I don't have my list of app shortcuts! Even pressing 'Home' doesn't bring them up. I have to swipe the edge to get it to work
lollipop
Can i have lollipop on n915f ??
millab, I dont have that issue.... Strange it's doing that for you.
Can anyone upload the 4.4.4 camera apk? I hate the location of the camera button now...

Of course you can. I am currently running lollipop, but you have to root your device and then install it via odin. If you need help just pm me and I will be glad to help.
Agree with point four (things you like) and generaly speaking UI is more smooth.
Desagree with point one you dislike. To much unintationnaly shutter trigger. So the move is welcome for me. Maybe on option/setting to have the choice will be good for everyone.
Totally agree with point two about notification redondancy.
What i miss is auto-MMS download. Looks like to be broken (BOC6).

I use hangouts & auto MMS download works fine.
I honestly don't dislike anything on lollipop compared to kitkat. The camera button placement is no big deal, I use voice control if it's inconvenient to use the botton.
Unfortunately even with Hangouts, auto-mms download doens't work since BOC6, stock or cooked rom (french langage)
I likey
Since NO carrier or store has the white model Edge, I opted to order the international sm-n9150 from an import/export mail order. This allowed me to use T-Mobile since they allow all unlocked phones to be brought in. And... AND I didn't realise this when I purchased it but I don't have to wait for the carrier approved OTA for lollipop, I just get the Samsung official update as soon as they release it! I will be getting international models from now on just for this reason. It's the second best thing to nexus immediate updates as I only have to wait for ONE layer of delay (Samsung's) not two (Samsung's AND the carriers). Also, no carrier bloat.
Lollipop is pretty. Material design is nice. Lots of little graphical touches add to the android UI VERY nicely. I'm aware that touch wiz negates quite a few of these touches but I still really like it.
My 4.4.4 note edge had issues where it would stutter upon touching the screen to swipe, and instead of swiping, it would register a TAP and open the app or button under my finger. This annoyance had been immediately alleviated... I can't actually remember it happening once since I updated.
ART makes a difference. Chrome and many apps scroll almost TOO fast.
Haven't objectively measured battery effect yet. So far it's no worse or better, but it's been a short time and I'm playing with the phone as lot.
Right after my update, i felt the system was choppy and stuttery. But i planned to After I update, to do a system factory reset. Recommended for such a large update, and a couple times a year anyway. After that and after a couple reboots, all the caches and temp files seem to be settled in and it's buttery smooth almost everywhere. I also activated developer options and put all my screen animations to 2x. Yes this makes them slower but oh so pretty!!!!
Notifications are so nice. I agree with earlier poster that the pop up notifications that float over the top bar could go away since the edge bar should handle that but it's a small thing.
The place where some animation chop still happens is Samsung's app drawer scrolling. It's not always but it's there very slightly. This goes away if you use a nice launcher replacement like Next Launcher or etc. I have yet to set a launcher replacement, I'm going to use the default launcher for a while to see all the changes. So far so good.
All the people complaining about radical changes for the worse when they update, are doing something wrong. Factory reset after updating!!!!

In earlier days of hangouts, pre Galaxy Edge, I had a devil of a time getting MMS even after they "fixed" it and other users reported it works. So I feel the pain!!!
However, I can report I just tested it again by sending pictures to myself on hangouts and:
-with mobile data OFF and WiFi on, MMS does not come in.
-with normal mobile data on, it does. This is the normal usage scenario for 99% of times anyway so I'm OK with it.
This is normal i believe l since MMS is part of a data standard that uses the cellular audio channel the way SMS does. It's an old format that needs to be replaced. (SMS too)
Anyway it does work. Ensure you are not using WiFi only is my suggestion...
Personally i love and will stay with the loly...the only thing im praying now is for xopsed to work with the edge. Hopefully they will come up with a fix soon..:thumbup:

Why don't you like lollipop? Im still with kitkat 4.4.4, I have AT&T, I haven't updated yet. I keep wifi OFF so it won't download...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA Free mobile app
Haven't had that much time to assess Lollipop on my SM-N915S (Exynos), but really hate the camera button, placed on the edge screen was perfect (for me) on KK
Have noticed that the kernel LMK OOM minfrees and adj have the wrong permissions and you can't change them. Fixed it in my SkyHigh custom kernel though
Also, noticed the minfree values have increased from KK, so may help keep a smoother ROM (freeing up more RAM for intensive tasks) at the expense of less multi-tasking
Device appears a little smoother, but wish Sammy would unlock 64bit for Exynos5433 device. I hate they keep it neutered for the sake of keeping Qualcomm SD 805 customers happy.

Problems since Lollipop update
Hi. I updated to Lollipop last night and I've noticed a couple of issues today. First, I keep getting a security notice stating "Unauthorized actions have been detected." When I tap the notification, it goes away and then comes back again in a few minutes. I've tried updating my security policy, but that hasn't helped. Second, I hate the floating notifications that pop up at the same time as the edge notifications. It's like AT&T gave me the Galaxy Note 4 Update instead of the one for the Edge. Considering that they also moved the photo button to the main screen, this seems fairly likely. I've also noticed that my RAM status shows that I'm using 2.05/2.71 GB with no apps running. What?!

Anyone else notice automatic Material Dark theme?

I was browsing around some settings around night time and some apps were showing in Material Dark. It looks like it switches automatically based on time. I noticed it in Photos and Google Settings. My guess is that it's only happening in Google Apps. Any other System settings do not do this, and for some reason it's only on the second layer, as the previous screen is still Material Light (day or night). I asked my buddy sitting next to me with his N6 if his did it too, but it was only on my device. Both are running Marshmallow.
I did not edit any settings to do this.

I'm aware of the option in the first preview, but that was before the 6P was available so there was no way to enable it before the setting was taken away. My N6P is brand new on the latest factory image. I haven't messed with many of the settings, and I'm not rooted. I was surprised to see the dark theme myself.

Not much to retrace since I've been slowly inching my way to less modifications:
Receive phone.
Turn it on to make sure it works.
Check for updates - none.
Unlock bootloader.
Device gets wiped.
Flash latest factory image since no updates were found.
Soft boot TWRP and flash MoaAB.
Log in to my Google account and restore all apps from my previous phone.
Open any Google apps to log in and do the first run, and then log in to any other apps not Google. Restore SMS with SMS Backup & Restore.
Then the magical moment: it's night time and I'm messing with the Photos app to make sure backups only happen on WiFi. Something is odd, the theme is dark.
Today, I had to confirm that it's light again.
Post finding on XDA.
Reply to thread.
Wait for night again.
Post another update showing dark Google settings.
???
Profit.
Something just occurred to me: this could be a scenario similar to Maps Navigation where night mode becomes dark blue instead of gray once connected to Android Auto.
Android Auto has a dark theme for night time when the headlights turn on. Perhaps Android Auto has activated the automatic dark theme for me.
Anyone else with Android Auto and a N6P?
Edit: Just confirmed my N5 (MRA58K) exhibits similar behavior with the attached screenshots. I'm sticking with my Android Auto theory. My N7 still has the light theme only and has not been connected to Auto.
My Nexus 6 doesn't do that. I wonder why yours is broken. Curious.
@SamsungGalaxyStig your face is broken.
Actually, I've personally confirmed with the above idiot that this behavior is 100% activated by plugging into Android Auto. His device only showed Material Light until it was plugged in to my head unit.
@binglejellsx2 Your mouth is broken.
Yes we definitely confirmed it is Android auto related. I also personally confirmed @binglejellsx2 has a very delicate touch....on the matter.
@SamsungGalaxyStig your matter has a delicate touch confirmed with dark materials automatically in android autos all over your broken ear, personally

Gallexy s7 edge, edge panel Delay when swipe to open

Hey, I'm having a similar issue with my edge panel, and it's driving me insane. Most of the time, it'll swipe open perfectly. Sometimes, though, it gets stuck and will take three or four swipes before it slides open. I'm almost positive it's a software rather than a hardware issue. If it were hardware, then it should swipe perfectly all the time or swipe inconsistently all the time. I use Package Disabler Pro and Greenify. Thus, I wonder if maybe it's due to disabling or Greenifying the wrong app. Anyhow, I'm actually factoring resetting my phone as I type this. I'm hoping that it will take care of it. I'll keep checking the panel as I Greenify and disable apps, and I'll tell you what I figure out.

Definitely software related. After the factory reset, it's working like a charm. Try it.

After the factory reset, did you add all of your apps to Edge apps panel, and it works well or does it work well in the default mode as it is after the factory reset?
@MikeChannon
Hi there,
Can you please change the word "Delilah" in the thread title to" Delay", so that it would be clearer to other users?
The Android keyboard "fixed" my typing, and I noticed only now.
Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, as soon as I added my apps to the panel and set up PDP it started happening, but less frequently. I'm so confused. I did notice that it seems to happen only if I immediately try to swipe it after closing an app. Like maybe the panel needs a couple of seconds to refresh itself? I also think my screen protector plays a role. Additionally, how I swipe is a factor. If I start my swipe to far outside the edge screen, it usually won't slide out. But if I start it at exactly where the tab is, it slides out as expected. I'm pretty sure it isn't a hardware issue. It definitely seems software related. I'm going to stop worrying unless it gets worse and hopefully with time I'll figure it out.

I can confirm on my end that the screen protector doesn't affect the problem, I don't have one and still have the issue.
Also for me sometimes open perfectly after closing an app, and sometimes it stumbles.
I also hope they figure out the problem and fix it....
So do I. I think I notice things like this because I tend to be weird about my phones. They've gotta be perfect. I'm sure a normal user would have given this no thought.

Same here. I tend to take my mobiles to the extreme. A normal user probably wouldn't set access to all of his app via the edge apps panel. To bad Samsung doesn't think about these options in development.

Ok, I think I figured it out. My carrier is T-Mobile. Not sure who you have. But if I go to Apps in Settings, and then select Galaxy Apps and Uninstall Updates, the edge panel works as it should. Try it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me... Did as you said... For me it's not 100% but for sure works better... Noticeable difference..
Have you had better luck??

ExistenZ Marshmallow problems and solutions

Our beloved developer @niaboc79 is getting very tired of people always asking the same questions and posting their problems in the development topic of his rom.
So I decided to make this topic in the "general" section of the forum where people can post about their problems and hopefully some solutions, in the hopes that it will help him and the people having problems at the same time.
Whenever a cause or a solution for a problem is found, I will put it in the second post, right underneath this one.
I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and cannot help much myself, I will just collect and centralize information, and I'm in no way affiliated with @niaboc79 and his work, and do absolutely not deserve any credits for his work.
Also there is no guarantee that the information I collect and post in the second post will be a solution for your problem even if it has apparently worked for other people with similar symptoms.
I invite everyone that uses his rom to share helpful information here. (please)
Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that @niaboc79 posted himself. You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:
-Don't update busybox
-Don't update Kernel
-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)
If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.
If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.
Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!
Lag problems:
-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)
-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)
If you still witness lag after that:
-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.
-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)
-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.
-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.
-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.
-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version
Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:
-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)
Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.
Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work
-Remove beta feedback app
You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

The second post of this topic right here...
i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.
is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?
Maybe this will work
But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo

By just looking at that image, not really.
I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.

Actually, I take at least 7 pictures with Camera FV-5/ 7 with stock app, with screen brightness full. Used WhatsApp and Telegram too, normally these apps and screen should be on top of the list. I have no idea of what the hell I do :silly:

[GUIDE] Stop Google Play Services Wakelocks (AppMeasurement, net_scheduler, etc.)

Hello everybody,
*the undermentioned methods and app(s) require root*
So, you are here because:
1) You don't like your device doing stuff you didn't make it do.
2) You want to minimize wakelocks
3) You just saw the two before mentioned wakelocks and already decided you want to get rid of them.
For this, you will need to download My Android Tools
Disclaimer: Disabling some services/receivers may "crash" the app. I found it is normal, just go back to where you were and check if you managed to disable the thing you wanted, if yes, then it was successful.
Huge thanks to MeggaMortY for the method
1. Open the app
2. Click on the top left to open the panel, click on Broadcast Receiver.
3. On the menu that opens go to the right column named System. Click search on the top right, type "Play" and choose the Google Play Services option.
4. In the search bar there type at least "ana" and disable the two found results with the names "AnalyticsReceiver" and "AnalyticsSamplerReceiver"
5. Hit x and search again for at least "meas". You will see three results with the names "AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver", "AppMeasurementReceiver" and "PackageMeasurementReceiver*". Disable all three.
6. Go to services->system->Google Play Services->search "meas"->disable "AppMeasurementService" , "MeasurementBrokerService and
"PackageMeasurementService".
7. "Campaign Tracking" . I only found it in the same System menu, in Android Pay, by searching at least "cam" you get the result "CampaignTrackingReceiver". Disable it if you feel you want to. I don't use Android Pay and cannot say if it breaks something there, but otherwise have it disabled and haven't noticed any problems so far.
8. Search for Google Play Store in System. In that option, search for at least "app" and disable "AppMeasurementReceiver". Hit x and search for "fir", then disable the two results with names "FirebaseInstanceIdInternalReceiver" and "FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver"
8. Done. All the setttings are now global for any sort of app measurements, as far as I know.
The second approach will get rid of the "net_scheduler" wakelock. Thanks to denon480 for this method
1. Open the app
2. Click on the top left corner to open the menu panel.
3. Click on Broadcast Receiver
4. Navigate to the System pane
5. Click on search on the top right. Search for Google Play Services. Click on them when they show up
6. In the search top right, write at least "sche" and you will see the two receivers responsible for the "net_scheduler wakelock, "SchedulerInternalReceiver" and "SchedulerReceiver".
7. Switch the first one off. The app will quit, don't worry.
8. Go back to where you were (steps 1 to 6) . You will see that you indeed managed to switch that receiver off.
9. Switch the second one off. The app will quit, again no worries.
10. Check if you managed to switch the second one as well. After that you're done!
So now you should definitely see less wakelocks and idle battery drain. I know there is nothing fancy in these methods but just thought of sharing this with you all
Could you uninstall the app after this or does the app need to stay installed for the effects to take place?

Thank you for this methode i will try it
I have tried that weeks ago, when I first got my 3T and there was absolutely no improvement by disabling these services, showing that these are not responsible for the battery problems.
If someone is rooted, then using Amplify, Naptime and AKT profiles will offer some real results regarding battery.

Isn't Amplify an Xposed module and not available for Nougat yet? My battery drains excessively with the screen on, it has never been so bad until recently. I'm at 51% with 1 hour 53 mins SOT. I used to get 6-7 hours .

Xposed is available unofficially for months now and Amplify works fine.
If u r already rooted then there are many things u can try to improve your battery drain.

I've done a few things, Greenify, naptime. Wonder if they work against each other. Not sure what the issue is now. Wakelock detector doesn't work anymore, at least for me

That's very strange.
No matter which version u have installed, the app's icon should be in the app's list in order to run the application.
I have no clue why u don't have it in your case.
For me it works fine and I haven't read about any similar case at the dedicated thread.
