Android Lollipop 5.0.2 Bugs / Troubles / Grievances

I just updated to lollipop using the official leaked ota for XT1068 and to my surprise it was full of stutters everywhere.
I did a complete wipe including the internal storage and reinstalled all my apps again. But seems like animations have taken a serious hit wid the newer update.
Steps to reproduce stutters or lags
1.Swipe down from status bar
Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...
2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)
Click on home button
Enjoy microstutters...
3. Go to settings
Click on any title..
The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...
Material design is said to be accompanied by fluidity which i failed to find on a 1gb ram quad core cpu phone with a dedicated a305gpu..
One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.
One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..
These are no personal modifications i require but these should been a must. for an oem like moto who favours stock android..its also necessary to put some easy things rather just making aosp as it is coz aosp is no where perfect.
People who say its a low end phone and m happy with whatever i m served on a low priced phone, plz stay away.
No i am not free enough to revert to kitkat as i have a busy life currently and i cant spend my every day reinstalling apps n setting them up ...
Edit -
Few more bugs
# wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..
# net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device...

Tried the 3 things you mentioned, and yes, I get it as well.
I thought it was only me, phew!

Report the same to official Moto support forums for MFN ,, maybe for these, moto is still not going global release ,, may be they would notice and try to improve

We're not soak testers though, just installed from zip.

I can confirm all three present ,,, but overall system response and especially ram management is improved ,,, I think these are aosp issues,

Not sure if bug or not, but suddenly the status bar has stopped changing colour according to the background. For example, first when I opened XDA on Chrome, the status bar changed to Orange. Same for MX Player. Now, it doesn't. Can anyone confirm or deny?

NOPE ,, checked it 3-4 times,, status bar color is still changing in xda chrome to orange (go to devices page of moto g ), and working in mx too
and the first lag pointed above (user profile ) is now much smoother now

Well, I changed back to "Merge apps and tabs" option and it's working in Chrome. Can't get it to work in MX Player. Which colour are you using for MX Player?

funny it was working with pink) ) selected but now its not working . In vlc its working and playstore is hard freezing sometimes ,, had to reboot it

I don't know if kk+xposed is better in performance than this stock lollipop. People that gave a try to this new build answer me please.

Do you have root? If yes, feel free to try my app/widget Toggle Data 5.0 (with Locale/Tasker support). The first post includes a fully functional, xda-exclusive free version.

I read on another thread about how battery life is worse when using Lollipop compared to Kit Kat any comment?

The key combination in recovery mode doesn't work, the factory reset from settings works, is this a bug?

Wow, these lags are not present in the Brazil Soak Test version. Glad I didn't rush after the Indian 5.0.2 Soak test.

@cygery Your data toggle app is #1 nothing has ever worked for toggling data before, now I've set it up with tasker perfectly, you da real MVP

i received the soak test for 5.0.2 and i have no problems with stutters, even doing the things you stated above. (XT1064)

Received 5.0.2 from soak test.
Was first upgraded to 5.0 then 9mb update to 5.0.1 and then 39mb update to 5.0.2
No lags whatsoever!

I am using the 5.0.2 22.21.28 final update on my XT1063 and all the things that you said is real, the lag is AWFUL, the animation lag, when you pull down the notification bar the animation just not play well, it seems to stutter, its really annoying, i wish i could back to KK, but i cannot downgrade anymore because i updated via OTA, people are really excited for lollipop in this forum (because, well, 90% of the threads in general section is about lollipop), I feel sad for them.

well, you can update if animations stuttering at some points after you start to do multitasking don't bother you, the system is pretty usable, but these animations lag is a killer for me, because material design its supposed to be more fluid than holo, and its not (at least on this device), but there's no lag for open apps and so on.

LG G3 Marshmallow Impression

Hi Guys,
As you all know,On 30th Dec 2015, LG started Marshmallow(6.0) update for our beloved LG G3 starting from Poland.
Lets discuss the initial impression here.
Those(lucky guys) who have upgraded their G3 to Marshmallow,can post their initial impression here.
Tell us the performance,speed,Battery life(SOT) improvements.
Also,Any new feature worth mentioning? Also,If anything missed by LG.
And what is your expectations form Next update.
So..lets get started.:angel:
P.S. - Moderators,If you find this tread as redundant,Pls. feel free to close this.
Also,General marshmallow discussion is going on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3-android-marshmallow-discussions-t3216143
So,please post only impressions here.
Thanks,
WaveGuru

Very first impressions (1 hour after flashing)
Good:
1. The animations are much smoother compared to stock lolllipop
2. Loving the new UX4.0
3. They finally fixed the lock screen notifications slide down function (now you can slide down to expand all lockscreen notifications)
Bad:
1. Knock code is so cumbersome now that you need to have 6 taps in 3 different areas
2. I still prefer stock android lockscreen to LG lockscreen

the performance is off the chart battery life is laso awesome.with normal usage i almost got 6 hours of SOT.i miss the lg gallery hide feature.they removed it in marshmallow.i hope they put it in next update.other all good.and laso camera is faster and better than before.thats all.you wont be disappointed with this upgrade.no bugs so far.its rock stable man.

I am impressed with fluidity, no more UI crash, and battery life is great.

Guys dont get me wrong about my question but..Are we all talking about the Android M Oficial Stock Rom or any other custom moded?If yes drom where you have downloaded it ?

Its about Android M, officially released by LG only for Poland.
Refer link in first post to know what, where, how to get Android M in ur G3.

Flashed yesterday on twrp.
1) Amazing Fast UI, seems to be with Nova
2) Fantastic Transitions
3) Expandable Notifications
4) No LG Home Crash or Reboot or Hanging
Too shame only to be on lollipop modem, i can't wait to flash the M one

Even i am waiting for it to be officially released to international versions....

A great new feature which i missed badly "Switch to 4G when internet unavailable with WIFI"

Any changes in display saturation??As LG removed saturation few months after the G3 release.
And Display looks under saturated now.
Thanks,
WaveGuru

Rock stable and very fluid UI compared to Lollipop. I can't say anything about battery life yet, but as users above say it is good then it must be a positive thing to note about as well
Although the Knock Code passcode now requires you to have at least 6 taps, which is kind of weird as I'm used to my 4-tap pattern before.
That's all Happy New Year to everyone!

Camera improved.
Battery life improved.
UI is fast.
No lags noticed till now.

What are this wifi problems some peoples are facing? Is this a general problem or only some people

Hi guys. One thing. What about messaging on 6.0 update? Is there a lag on tapping conversations? Because on lollipop it takes about 1 second until conversation opens.. One more thing, any changes on keyboard?
Thank you for your replays

Good:
Beautiful UI
A lot faster than LP
Excellent battery
Bad:
Animations are as laggy as lollipop, i really wanna know how they can make 6.0 laggy, that's a shame.

i have no lag on messaging at all keyboard is great
UI is fluid
all in all marshmallow has made my G3 even better loving it.

I have tried it and got back to v21a since i couldn't install some apps and gps takes forever to lock...
Loved ui and smothness but to use phone everyday v21a is pretty ok...

Oversharpening still present?

ZUK Z2 PRO Android 7 confirmed 2017!

Hello,
Now it's fully official.
Android 7 will be released officially on January, 28 2017
m.gsmarena.com/zuk_announces_android_70_nougat_update_plans_for_the_z2_pro_and_z1-news-22050.php

The Chinese character 內測 in the image means "test internally".

The 7.0 test internally was OTA today. Maybe the stable one will be released before Chinese new year (about five weeks later).

on print screen is missing dark theme... I hope they would include it..

For those who would like to update here is the link to the forum to try 2.5.335ST version.
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads...ion-updated-link-for-2-5-335-st-version.1801/

looks almost the same after got updated to ZUI2.5...

does 7.0 on the update brings manual controls on the camera?

Yes, yes it does. This is also known as the ZUI 2.5 update, by the way.

I didn't have it before 2.5 was available, so I never tested it on the older builds. It's a decent camera, although you really want to be on stock ZUI to take advantage of it.
Realistically, if I had to choose again, I would probably save the money and get the regular Z2 instead; the custom ROM scene is much better, longer battery life, and no issues with the Z2 Pro camera's OIS getting physically stuck due to Camera2-based drivers not knowing how to deal with it properly. And no worrying about missing U-Health, since it doesn't have the finger sensor.

My first observations after upgrade:
- system is smooth and fast, but the fact is that it was such before upgrade as well;
- smart battery saving leave you less options as before; you can't use it with screen off time adjustment any more; my impression is that with no battery saving you achieve less uptime than before and with smart battery the same as before but with more restrictions;
- overall color specter moved toward blue and a lot of white; light color letters on white background are sometimes difficult to read;
- safetynet (indicator of secure applications like Android Pay and Pokemon) fails wit the last upgrade; it passed with MM and first N upgrade 336;
- still no trace of wifi calling.
Camera is subject to more deep and demanding analyze which may follow latter.
Overall I'll be glad to get safetynet back and wifi calling sometimes soon.

I also upgraded to 5.0 and then I did a factory reset to set all from the beginning...It seems to me that battery runs out a bit faster (first thoughts) and I agree with all written before this post....
I fell in love with new quick tools panel quickly, so dont feel about downgrading so far))
I will wait till our russian coleagues make up a clean EMUI 5.0 (without bloat and perhaps with some customizations) as they did for 4.1 (author: greatslon at 4pda)
Or maybe our honor devs will give us some cure in new builds...

Got a new upgrade yesterday, the version B368.
This time the change log is in Chinese so I have no idea what it is about. At least it still works fine, no complain so far

It says something like:
This update optimizes the system and stability and makes the phone run more smooth. It repairs Taobao app text dialog box on order to prevent blocking input method. It also repairs the problem that call recording can’t add the specific contact. Further, the problems that outgoing call can’t be placed and phone can’t be connected to WIFI are fixed as well. Removed error that Talkback can’t be used. Fixed HuaweiShare autolaunch after WIFI download rate is reduced. Fixed issues with 123006?? and banking (shopping??) apps like Taobao. Power consumption is optimized in order to extend battery life. Screen brightness parameters optimization.
The translate is result of mutual efforts of me and GoogleTranslate and it is far from perfect.
My first impressions after update:
The system is stable and ready for the transition from beta to the production version. It is responsive, smooth and fast. No substantial deficiencies could be detected. There are still some glitches that should be improved though:
1. In order to make the outlook white as a snow (combined with sea blue) the producer made some application text hard to read (white on the bright)
2. Using the power saving mode gives you insane 6 hours of SOT. But the mode fixes screen on when passive to 30 secs time and it can't be adjusted. What could be really annoying in some situations. I would have easily sacrificed 1 hour of SOT if I had option to turn off the screen manually.
3. SafetyNet (connected with payment and other safety apps) fails after every upgrade. Thankfully so far I had it back in a few days and I hope that it will happen this time too. I think that the failure is connected to beta status of the upgrade: Google might consider upgrade as a test version of the system (safe applications don't work on the rooted phone, custom recovery, unlocked bootloader or test versions of the system). I don't understand the mechanism on which the functionality suddenly returns: is it by Huawei's intervention, Google app upgrade or simply recognizing the upgrade as real, not test version.
Finally, there is an improved custom ROM for AL10 and AL00 (HRT-Kangvip) if someone with rooted phone wanna try: http://club.huawei.com/thread-11821416-1-1.html (use GoogleTranslate).

I am in China, I already got 3 updates since I bought it (3 weeks ago).
That's why I can't really compare with marshmallow as I didn't use it much.
I just found out they still didn't fix the bug when we use the fingerprint to slide photos in the gallery. It works but it's not as smooth as before.

update pie ?

Hello guys, would anyone have information for the update announced since end of the last year, which should take place for the month of March 2019, to pie, by Sony ?

50.2.A.0.352 update for XA2, XA2 PLUS, XA2 ULTRA is available in some regions according to xperifirm (mostly for duals)

I already updated. I have troubles with camera, lags on 4k mode with steady shot on and system works slowly than Oreo. Don't install that, but you cant revert Oreo back

R2A revert to Oreo. R1A for now is not

I have updated my XA2 day before yesterday, after getting Android 9 all things seems fine except battery life which is good enough when my device was on oreo, i am not saying its terrible but its noticeable, on standby its working fine but during usage its going to be draining fast, its really painful for me bcz battery power was highlighted feature of XA2 but now its behaving not well, sony should fix this as soon as possible

I notice the same, battery runs out faster than with Oreo, then I had no other inconvenience, the camera app was updated and some say that the video quality worsened, I did not notice yet, but the good thing is that for the first time I managed to run a version of Google Camera (I think it's for XA1) is one of the first to appear on Google if you search "Google cam Xperia".

Yes bro everything seems fine except battery timing, its more sleek and faster than oreo, finger print scanner is now super fast and camera has been improved, over all its good update but battery timing is really an issue, hope they fix it

More about the camera app and android Pie.
They removed the Timeshift function that was the best of the app, is available in the playstore but I can not install.
As I said above you can install a functional version of the Google camera that at a glance takes better photos and videos (without so much postproduction) from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1/themes/google-camera-t3798683/amp/
I also tried all the portable apps of this link for LG smarthphones, they all worked (with limitations), but the H2O from ONE Plus ascinated me, the manual controls are excellent and it works fluently.

I think Android 9.0 fingerprint recognition seems faster,higher success rate,but it doesn't have pie's navigation bar and there's no circular clock

The update is successful. Installed this morning by Xperia companion on my XA2 single SIM, everything is fine and the battery lasts longer. The only thing is that the task manager I did not find the windows with horizontal scrolling but with vertical scrolling as in android 8. For the rest it's fine.
100% battery April 8 at about 2.15pm
1:01 am on April 9th 35% Battery
The only thing is that I wanted to find the task manager with the windows horizontally, otherwise satisfied.
It's fine..

Got 50.2.A.0.352 OTA here in germany and it bricked. Well ota didn't work, download always failed, tried updating via xperia companion after restart screen went black and is now turning on and off. If the phone it self is actualy on, i have no clue.
litteraly just created this account to share the info that even 352 bricked a device.
