I thought the 5.1.1 for Z2 and Z3 has come more than a month ago. "in the coming weeks" BS..
Don't get me wrong, but i've had enough memory leak issue on 5.0.2. All Apps getting closed in some random time.. Ugghh..
EDIT: XperiFirm is your best friend
EDIT 2: Any thoughts or patch note for 14.6.A.1.216?

Sorry but Yeah just to make people whiny again so Sony notice us again
CM FTW. I've learned to only purchase devices that has active CM support or will definitely have in the near future. Once the device is delivered and CM is available for it I'll flash CM straight away and never go back to stock again. Same for the ZU I got.

It's been told a few times before, 5.0.2 doesn't have memory leaks, just sayin'... It will come when it will be ready
Might not have mem leaks, but it has many issues (some of which were introduced in 5.0 and now we're waiting another version to get to previous levels of functionality) and some very serious security problems.
you know. I was wondering the same thing too where is the darn update to 5.1.1 I have big bugs on 5.0.2 the darn Bluetooth disconnects from my watch when I play some games, sound problems and some app don't works. a can only hope the sony hurry up and get that update with bugs fixed. this is why I'm using lollipup on my z ultra and KitKat on my z tablet compact cos KitKat works better then........hurry up sony........
You both guys have Chrome installed do you? Uninstall it right away, it's a totally different without it... I was amazed how this thing is making everything so slow
I am getting sick of waiting too
Even started to think we may not get it at all
I've been wondering too. I'm on Resurrection rom, but the battery is too short even with all the Xposed tweaks, so I really hope 5.1.1 Xperia firmware comes out soon, so that I can have a long battery life phone again.

More RAM i suppose but by deleting chrome you don't solve this. I deleted Chrome right after updating to 5.0.2 and i have still similar issues that some of users described here. I guess we need to wait for 5.1.1 and hope for fix. Btw 5.1.1 firmware was certified yesterday so it should roll out soon.
Main problem Ive got is dead background services and every app after switching. I think this can be solved only by increasing amount of ram or changing os.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Yeah, even sometimes Walkman is dying when i am listening music while browsing the web with Chrome. Switching to Firefox, even worse.. Grrr..
Any radio or music app closes when i open any other application.
So i end up using two phones, one for music and other for whatsapp and chrome.

I will be VERY surprised if they fix even ONE THIRD of the issues I see on my z ultra. ONE THIRD.
Hell, I would be perfectly happy if they just let us disable content adaptive backlight, like in the first rom, before they stupidly removed the option and instead of permanently disabling, they permanently enabled it
@d1g1m4n @hansip87 I'm using CM Browser for internet and Greenify to keep apps closed and I can listen to music and browse without any problems even with Viper4android, Chrome is just a piece of crap, it use the ram that lie on the table
@tsiros Yeah buddy, exactly. Remember how they were supposed to fix Kitkat bugs in Lollipop? They fixed a bunch but introduced a second bunch of them
Now that it has been certified we can just cross our fingers and wait but I'm not getting my hopes high given that I had 4 Sony Android phones and I don't thing they have changed that much in just a few months, y'know, it's Sony
I always got 300-400 mb ram free, no matter what am i doing or what apps hibernated in greenify, but backgr apps closing anyway.

I'm just trying to get some general info on when the next N10 update will be to fix some of the obvious and persistent bugs that the device has (wifi, random reboot, ****ty Chrome performance, etc.). I haven't been keeping up with Android news as much as I should as of late, so I am wondering if one of you fellas have heard anything about when the next 4.2 update will be for the N10. :good:

It'll arrive when it arrives. Nobody here is psychic. If you dont mind the warranty risk, you can at least fix the rebooting with CM10.1. If you aren't attached to Chrome, other browsers are known to run far better like Dolphin and AOSP. Cant say to the Wifi issue as I haven't personally experienced it.

Just looking to see if anybody has maybe heard of anything on other sites. These things leak all of the time. I use Firefox for now and it does the job for now, but Chrome has some features that I love and I am just waiting for a decent release that won't crash my N10. As far as wifi goes, mine tends to drop connect while it is on standby for a few hours and it won't reconnect unless I manually turn wifi of then on again.
Maybe I will give CM 10 a shot.

Chrome performance has little to do with N10s firmware, and more to do with it being about 5 versions behind desktop Chrome. I've heard there are a lot of improvements in 23...currently the Android version is stuck on 18.

My Nexus 10 doesn't have random reboots and absolutely zero issues with WiFi. I take my device from my house to my parents house to my in-laws and to work and it never drops connection (except travelling to those places) or requires a reboot. I also leave my Nexus 10 on all the time, it's never turned off. I don't use Chrome, I use the AOSP browser and sometimes Boat Browser.
Chome will be an app update in the Market so it could happen whenever and won't be related to an updated OTA for the Nexus 10.
As for the Nexus 10 next OTA....you really won't hear about it until it starts happening or another update to AOSP occurs (4.2.2 or maybe 4.2.1.1, etc...)

The Xperia Z or Samsung's version of the N10. The former is ultra-thin but only has a 6,000 mAh battery. It runs S4 Pro which is incredibly efficient so it's too early to say whether or not battery size will be an issue. The latter could be a good choice if in the version of the N10 Samsung sells directly they address the display and QC issues the N10's been experiencing. TW/JB on the Note 10.1 has been issue free unlike what people have been experiencing with AOSP 4.2 on the N10. MWC is next week and more info on the release of both tablets should be available.

I'm waiting to see what comes out at MWC. Id rather have a nexus just for the pure android but I have decided NOT to try another N10. I don't think they will fix the problems on this one. Sure some get 'good' ones but that seems rare. If nothing comparable comes out soon I will just wait until the next iteration of the nexus 10. But I will only buy in a retail(google) store. Never again Play Store.
My household does not have an ounce of apple (by choice) so ipad out of the question

Same here my friend. Never had a single issue with mine. Loving it.
The Nexus 10 was made for those who like to tinker. And as such, the reboots aren't as big a problem as they would be on other devices since they're easily solved by flashing a custom rom.
If you want something working flawless out of the box and dont see an issue with a walled garden, get an iPad. If you can put up with manufacture skins and a lack of speedy updates, get a Note 10.1. If you want to play russian roulette with your build quality, get a Transformer TF700. If you dont care about vast application support, get a Surface. If none of those sound appealing, give up on tablets.

Maybe something's wrong with your tablet? I used to get at least one reboot per day on 4.2.1, but haven't had any on 4.2.2 (received it on 2/14), and I haven't seen many many many owners complaining of reboots after the latest update.

Used to have reboots all the time on 4.2.1... been pretty solid since 4.2.2... Wi-Fi drops like crazy tho on stock. I feel like when I was on cm10.1 Wi-Fi was generally solid so I'm thinking it's a combo of software and my schools some wat dodgy Wi-Fi... My iPad never experienced Wi-Fi issues that my android devices have here on campus but... That's the only good thing about those

I agree. I had many reboots prior to 4.2.2 but after the update I had zero reboots so far. Maybe something wrong with your unit or you got some bad **** installed in it.

so everybody was experiencing reboots on 4.2.1,and nobody says its hardware. now 4.2.2 comes out and a few people reboots stop so NOW its a hardware problem? really?
definitely isnt apps, i basically run the same apps on my tablet that i run on my phone. phone has YET to reboot once. If an app is bad and causes a crash (i guess because of its code) it will crash on any device running the same android version right? because its an app problem and not hardware...
for example, list 5 android apps that are KNOWN without a doubt to cause a reboot
please dont say chrome because it only crashes on the nexus 10
in fact, list ONE bad **** app as you say that will cause a reboot across any android device...
P.S. i think that an app causing a device to reboot is still the fault of an OS. i mean why reboot the whole device? why not jus crash the faulty app instead?
Well, I guess I spoke too soon (or jinxed myself) but I got my first post-update reboot this morning. Once per week is still much better than at least one per day, but there's still work to do it seems.

Or, maybe it's the thing that the software communicates with to interact with hardware (drivers)?
Lets say I have a desktop. I run a 3D-intensive app on it. My computer locks up and reboots. The app can be coded to be 100% perfect, and the hardware can be 100% flawless, but if the driver is flawed, then it wouldn't matter how perfect the software and hardware is.

well cool but that still eliminates the app as being the culprit of reboots as a lot of people like to suggest
so thats still an OS problem and not hardware. which means useless to send in back because i have a "bad unit"

Stock 4.3 is nice, fluid, fast, no lags, reboots faced yet (not sure what feature u were referring to)...

And i was on stock rom for just a day after I'd bought the phone 3 months ago. Bloody annoying to take this huge phone out of the pocket to change tracks while riding a back.. Wonder why no one else ever said a word about that nonfunctional button.. Guess no one else listens to music on z ultra..
Cant believe we'll have to just sit n wait for Sony to bringout kitkat..

I'm on 4.3 installed via Sony Bridge some days ago and haven't had any problems since.
No random reboots at all. As a matter of fact, I think I powered it off just once to see if the boot animation had changed.
I have sound problems with the SBH52 though, as it doesn't trigger the SBH52 app when connected, hence not working right away giving commands from the headset itself (solved by uninstalling updates and re-update the Smart Connect app).
Also hearing a lot of clicking and noises while playing music, either with Walkman or Play Music.
No issues while talking on the phone. I guess it's a matter of updating the SBH52 app or the Smart Connect app.
If, and I repeat IF, this new update brings KitKat I hear A LOT of other brands fanboys screaming and throwing themselves out of the window... XD

I would guess it is a hardware issue with your phone, you'll have to send it in for repair - should only take a few days or a week at the most :angel:

I've got a stock Verizon S4, currently running 4.4.2. Now I am getting an OTA for Lollipop, and wondering if I should do it. I don't want to do it and find various things are broken, and end up posting irate threads about how my battery life is terrible now, etc...
Any advice?
If you're going to post irate threads like that, you want to do it over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon instead of the international S4 forum, where this was originally posted.
In answer to your question, it's up to you if you want to do it. But be aware that because your device has a locked bootloader, it may be a one-way trip. Meaning if you don't like the new version of Android you may not be able to go back.
Kitkat is way better than lollipop at the moment, so you shouldn't update. But if you have a lot of free time and can sustain frustration and depression then you can try.

Care to elaborate why? My S4 runs WAYYYY better with Lollipop than it ever did with KitKat.
Still the problems persist. Some of the problems I am facing are: 1. Random apps crash 2. Home wallpaper goes blank 3. Browser crashes too much 4. Music player suddenly stops playing 5. Random freezes occurin the menu 6. Sometimes contacts take a long time to show. 7. My flip cover stops working None of the problems were present in my kitkat.
These bugs are present in lollipop there's no proper ran management and lot of memory leak problem is there
Hi, I would ask if there is a very vanilla ROM (not CM), similar to stock, but without Google Apps

I'm pretty sure you could flash AOSP itself. It's stock, but theres no Google apps.

Hey @cmason37, thanks for posting this as I'm always searching for those elusive MM 'Stable' Roms I would like to try that rom, however, the above link has been disabled. If you could repost the link that would be excellent.
In the meantime I'll scrub the world wide web for this file, thanks

It works just fine for me. Are you visiting the link on your phone, or PC?
I'm on my phone right now. Thanks I'll go sit at the PC and try.

btw I wouldn't recommend it, I was trying it and it's preatty buggy and outdated. It doesn't have fm radio and it's using only bottom microphone for video recording (stock 6.0 uses both mics so there is stereo effect). It also doesn't support any new custom kernels because it wasn't updated for ages. The worst thing is that it slows down a lot after few days and you need to reboot. On stock 6.0 with squid kernel the performance drop wasn't that big, I was using it for 30 days without reboot and it was still pretty good.

I don't have any of those problems, except for msybe fm radio but I don't give a crap about that. But, I can flash squid kernel & I don't get performance drops often. So it's literally bug free for me. Maybe you should try flashing it again. After all, bad flashes happen.

My apologies you guys for not getting back earlier. I've been fumigating for bugs.
Those issues you were describing are the exact issues I'm dealing with today on my current ROM a popular CM based true to form option-heavy, stability-light ROM. This is a shame as its been fairly reliable platform for me. The occasional issue that was easily remedied with a reboot, a restore or a reflash. The past few months have been bug after bug for me. Mostly a pesky incompatibility issue with my ROM and OpenGapps.
Its seems all I've been doing lately is testing alternative gapp pkg sources, kernels and mods.
What makes this issue the real tops though is that the ROM I use was just listed as "Official" and "Stable" last month. There may be a weekly update waiting in the basket for me but the basket build server is down.
So....?
Not sure where to go from here. I'll tell you this much though. When I decided to try and root this device 8 months ago I had no idea it involved so much. I can almost write my own svripts, I'm understanding the bugreports I generate and read and i haven't spent this much time in a ToyBox since I was 9.
Lol. I'm not complaining though... I love to learn.
Oh and I still haven't tried the ROM you recommended as of yet. PC seems buggy now too.
