I have now the second device. The fist had screen backlight issues, which are better now, but not completely solved.
But the new device has the issue now that certain apps crash immediately after starting them. Sometime one needs to open them 10 times, before they get stable.
This happens also, if one reboots the machine and the first app after the restart crashes directly.
This affects not all apps, but Instagram, Google+, Facebook are such candidates which crash frequently.
Other apps like Chrome had never failed so far.
The report, which can be send to Google show signals like 6 or 11 are the cause for the crash.
Is this the known Lollipop 5.0.x RAM bug?
But after rebooting and 32GB RAM, there should be plenty of memory?
I also made a factory reset and installed only some apps, but it did not get better, the crash orgy goes on.
Did anyone else observed such behavior?
Fist Sorry for my Bad English. Im are German
This ist not normaly. Have you make the Lollipop Update 5.02
Here is no Crash on Apps. Some Games not work anymore. Lollipop inkompatible.
Game that not work
Shredder Shess must be v1.3.1. V1.2.2 Crash on Startup.
GT Racing 2 frozen after first Race and not Response anymore
Oscura crash on Startup
Galactic not reponse after load to Start Screen
This is a Lollipop issue.

No worries, I'm also German.
I returned the second device yesterday. The guy from the retail store told me not to try a third one.
I should wait for the second charge of the production line. He confirmed other returns of the tablet in his store.
Very sad, the device would be great in theory, but it has to many teething troubles at the moment.
So I will go with my nearly dead Nexus 7 and stay tuned, maybe an other vendor brings a stunning item or I change to the dark side and buy an iPad :crying:
Please post software version and app-version #
To put this in perspective and maybe even help you, you should post some version numbers (find it in about Tablet or in an App help).
Wifi or LTE would also be helpful.
In Germany the Tablets came with software 28.0.A.6.2
I am on 28.0.7.24 and have no crashes whatsoever.
28.0.7.31 might reach the servers next week.
I have Update to Lollipop 5.0.2 and Google+ are 5.8.0.966

Hi all,
Ive 2 xperia p. One of them came out of the box with a simcard insertion problem and got repaired - but it came back freezing after 5 minutes of usage (roundly). I restart it with the hw keys but then it happens again and again... It seems to be totally random: it crashes on games, browser, idle etc. Id already tried to erase eveything and reinstall the system using pc companion (Android 4.0). Differently from mobiles with similar problems that I found in this forum, it have never had any modification (currently it has all factory settings besides my google account) and still crashes. Meanwhile, Im using the other xperia without any problem on the same OS etc.
Its actually my wifes mobile and we dont want her to stay another 30 days without it by sending it back to the official support. Do you have any idea for a way to fix it? I keep wandering whether it might be something wrong that the official support did to its hardware...
BIG THANKS, GUYS!

may be just check in software update ,if it doesn't show then ask service center to replace the whole piece ! hardware problem may also be there
Sony is sending you back refurbished units, not your same one most likely, so if you receive it and its faulty, best you exchange it again, sucks tbh but if you hold onto it, might get worse
Hi,
My s5 has been randomly rebooting. Sometimes, it has happening when I am on the call, or in the mid night. Is any one has the same issue? Is the phone defective or hardware problem? My phone is never rooted.

I have been having the same issue. I have had the phone since release and haven't had any problem, until about a month ago. It has rebooted a few times randomly. I am completely stock non-rooted.
I got one time today when I opened the YouTube app. I uninstall the update for the YouTube, and see what is going on
So I've noticed this happening for a few weeks now. Thought something was wrong with the phone and did a warranty replacement. New phone (not referb) does the same thing, just not as often. I think maybe it's an app running in the background now that had a bad update. I'm in the process of removing apps to see if it still happens.

It has happened last mid night again. In today moring, I found my phone restart one time, because I saw the popup notice for reminding the back cover that means the phone restart already. Please tell us what happen after you remove the apps. I think it is the software problem rather than the hardware problem. I don't want to get replacement phone because it is refurbished phone.

Well I'm still trying to determine which app is causing it. For all I know, it could be the firmware T-mo pushed out prior to the latest one. T-mo says they haven't had reports on this issue so I don't want to blame the FW right off the bat. I have ruled out about 70% of my apps and right now have about 5 uninstalled and phone hasn't restarted in 3 days. Below is are the apps I have yet to try and the ones currently removed.
Current Removed:
Code:
'Disable Increasing Ring'
'netflix'
'uber'
'hbo go'
'battery widget'
'2x rdp client'
'pandora'
Yet to try:

Might help if you let me know which ones you have in common above. FYI, I also tried removing my sd card like I saw in a few forums. Also, Tmobile says they don't give you referb phones. They give new phones that were returned to the store within a few days. So openbox, mine looked perfect.

I just do some research online. Many articles are talking about that the android 4.4.2 has randomly reboot bug. I think this the common bug for the 4.4.2. Hopefully, the 5.0 is rolling out for international version. I think t-mobile will update the s5 to 5.0 soon.
Its the 4.4.2 firmware. Its because of all the apps updating to the new lollipop 5.0 but where still on kit Kat. Remember now these apps are set to run on art now so i believe there conflict between the dalvik thats the norm. On 4.4.2. I noticed if i run my SM-G900T 4.4.2 in art mode the rebooting stops. So at the end of the day this means when 5.0 is released to our S5 the reboots should stop. If your bothered by the reboots just run the 4.4.2 in art mode. Good day☺

I just turn off the VoLTE, and the phone runs for 10 days without any reboots. Do you think it is the problem of the VoLTE?

Could be.? I'm just making an educated guess that it's the fact that when our apps like YouTube, Gmail ,ect.. updated it seems that's when my reboots started. Volte could be a cause to. Your guess is as good as mine. But I truly believe it's the fact that the updated app where modified to art and 4.4.2 is dalvik. ?? I'm sure when the 5 update comes this will be resolved ☺

1.) Go into Settings, and About Device. Where it says: Build number press on this over and over again until it gives you the Toast message: Developer Options Turned On (something to that effect).
2.) Go back into Settings, and just below Security and above About device, you will see Developer options. Open this.
3.) 4th Item down is: Select runtime system. It should say: Use Dalvik. Change this option to: Use ART. It should work for a little bit, then Reboot your phone.
4.) All done!
Note: If you plan to Root your phone, and use Xposed, it is NOT compatible with ART runtime. If you plan to stay unrooted, or not use Xposed if you do root, then you are fine. You can always switch back if you decide to do this.
[P4Wifi] Android 6.0.1,latest update of Subway Surf fails to run & Flashlight flash
So I wanted to report 4 problems with this rom, that I found while testing it, since yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3266663
I am using an Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi only tablet with this rom the camera works but the flash does not work that is the first problem I had tried to turn it on, or set it to auto but it does not seem to be able to flash the light on at all so far under this build of the rom, I understand that these problems will be fix as the rom makes updates to the software.
Second thing is I tried to run the game called Subway Surf which displays a message saying it can't run, on the hardware it reads failure to initialize! Your hardware does not support this application, sorry! ,
The last version that worked on my hardware is 1.47.1 on 11 26 2015, the Christmas version displays an message saying it does not support my Samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 it has an failure to initialize! Your hardware does not support this application, sorry!. So I can't use the Christmas update. the app problem has to do with the update not the aosp version, sorry about that I downgrade the app and it runs again the last version to work on this hardware is 1.47.1 from 11 26 2015 .
this app was working under aosp-5.1.1-p4wifi-20151031 on the Subway surf version 1.47.1 from 11 26 2015, the Christmas update gets the message saying failure to initialize! Your hardware does not support this application, sorry
their is an bug when the tablet is shutdown and is pluged in charging the normal percentage numbers don't show up anymore since going to the 6.0 version, this bug I am guessing will also be fixed when a new build comes out. otherwise I have not yet found anymore problems that I can think of besides these 3 things during my trying the new build.
1. Camera hardware flash is not working at all on the build, so you can't really take night photo if you wanted to, their going to look dark with the flash option.
2. 3D video games like Subway Surf are broken and will not play. that one game called Fruit Ninja Free plays but it seems to slow down at times, making me think that its 3D related.
3. Kindle app had crashed on me opening ebooks a few times on aosp-6.0-p4wifi-20151211 build.
4. the charging icon when tablet is off, is missing its charging numbers that show the percentage of the charge, pluged into the usb port of the computer, have not tried the power plug but I am guessing it also would lack the numbers from this build.
5. it would be nice if kodi app could be made to work on our hardware , since you can install it from the play store, but you get an hardware message on your tablet saying its not supported has to do with no support for Tegra 2 based hardware.
weblink here, http://kodi.tv/download/ , their used to be an old version of xbmc app that worked on version that came before 5.1.1 before it changed its name, an port of it worked but crashed on 5.1.1 and maybe on 6.0 I think didn't test it on new version. our tablet needs a version that supports Tegra 2 support for kodi to run.
you can read these about why they say its not supported. so the builds that had Tegra 2 support under xbmc only worked with android before the 5.1.1 version, it always crashed under this version. not even sure anyway has an working version of kodi app that runs under this tablet, since I can't find unofficial support for it at all besides the forum links to the old xbmc app with Tegra 2 support that no longer runs with current android versions.
http://kodi.wiki/view/Android
anyway I hope reporting these helps the build so these things can get fixed for aosp 6.0 p4wifi models tablets. I can't seem to post under the topic page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3266663
So that's why I am posting this here instead, So I hope they read this and can get at least the 3D games working in the next build if possible, otherwise I may want to go back to 5.1.1 until I can play games again on the tablet, I didn't try to see if the camera can take the pan scan mode photo yet with the google camera app, but not if that's working under 6.0 or not, but sometimes I do need the flash so that why I may downgrade my tablet until this gets fixed, but I hope future builds will get these things fixed I hope, its good a good job getting the rom working in the first place, but you know I can't really tell the difference between 5.1.1 and 6.0 they look almost alike just one can play the 3D games, and the other one needs work, its a good start it seems stable and that's also a good thing about the 6.0 version.
This is the one that I installed onto my tablet below
p4wifi: WIFI only tablet
aosp-6.0-p4wifi-20151211.zip
I was using [ROM][Unofficial][AOSP] Android 5.1.1 Lollipop on version aosp-5.1.1-p4wifi-20151031.zip
before I did a clean install of aosp-6.0-p4wifi-20151211.zip the camera flash I think was working with that version, so when I clean install the new one I think that's when the flash stoped working.
to my tablet, it does run ok besides these small problems and the Bluetooth sort of works if you turn it on, you can connect to an Bluetooth audio hardware, my sound bar works with 6.0 on connect to it, at least on my tablet that worked, but on reboot of the tablet it does disable Bluetooth by default.

I yesterday formated my phone now after finishing posting this post I look my phone it happening again with me, it starts to freeze and begin of endless aching
Same issue
I am having the same problem, at least once a week I need to format and reinstall the ROM.
me too... i have this odd and strange problem!!!! really annoying...
even in stock rom i have problem
Me three! After installing new roms (android 8, 9 and 10) and after a week or so it was freezing, showing system UI had crashed etc. I was thinking I had a hardware issue. I wonder if we all had installed a particular ROM or TWRP version and it caused this .
This forced me to obtain another Z2 to see if it was a software issue - so far its been okay but its been less than a week.
Just so you know, I have always clean installed, and to remedy the situation used 'fastboot erase system -w' to delete everything thinking it was down to bad ram or flash sectors.
I'll let you know how the new one does.
Update: the new Z2 is absolutely fine. The one that kept crashing still does this, but with less usage it takes a while for it to play up. I think the internal memory is bad, where a certain sector is unusable - if that can happen with these mobile flash drives. Apart from writing very big files onto the phone, does anyone know a formatting tool available for android?
Hi has there been any update on this.
I have tried formatting with TWRP but the problem persists.
It looks new update was released:
Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC52)
The latest software and firmware versions for the Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC52) XperiCheck.com checks the Sony servers every 5 minutes to always display the latest information.
xpericheck.com
Anyone received it already and can share feedback? Knowing sony only copy paste of security patch from Google but who knows?
Stubborn sony still does not share release notes! <angry>
Got it yesterday, no issues, but I haven't noticed any obvious changes either.
On previous version, I've had a black notification bar stick to the top of game screen a few times, no reoccurrences of that so far, but am not convinced it's fixed yet.
Now generally available in UK - was only for carrier versions previously I understand. Only change I can detect is October security update. Shame Sony never do a change log
Has anyone else lost touch and navigation vibration since this update? I just got the update today and since then I'm not getting any vibration when interacting with the phone at all and can't get it re-activated

Looks like a restart fixed it!
Touch and navigation vibration is so buggy. One restart it works, another restart it doesn't work and another restar it works. I think it is time for Sony to fix this. Anyway that is my problem with touch and navigation vibration. After this software update it works but we will see if they fixed this..
Hi,
I noticed changes in the Clock application and when it's ringing, buttons looks like new Android 12 Design maybe...
Nothing else noticed as changed since yesterday (so not a long time...)

The clock app is updated through the play store by google, not by sony. I had the new design before this new sony update.
ok, sorry
The XQ-BC62 got this today and I can't find anything that changed except for a security update. It's a huge plus if Sony has automated security patches, but there's a lot of unfinished work on this phone that I'd like to see addressed. Start fixing carrier support!
Alot of ppl are saying heat fixed but mines still gets warm
The Photo Pro and Cinema Pro apps run cool now. The phone gets warm, but hot, if I run a video transcoder.
It seems to have a new bug with tap-to-wake.

Yea it better on chinese ROM for me. I removed all the badiu crap and it close to stock than ever.
Word of advice. Do not change anything in the default phone setting >>> *#*#4636#*#* this will cause the mobile network setting to fc and only way out or to fix is starting from scratch with new flasher.
