Confused Noob needing Help

Hi,
My Note is hardly 5 months old and i see that to dial a number twice it's taking 10 seconds! It pauses, returns back to the dialer and then finally dials. I'm wondering whether flashing a custom ROM will solve this problem and also if i flash one, is my warranty void for eternity?
Please help me out!!!
Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
It might be a good idea to install Quadrant (benchmark) and run it after you restart your device, to have a check on the hardware capabilities and compare.
If your device is loaded with some applications that hog its RAM with background processes you may need to uninstall them. Check your application manager, go to running applications to see what is using your memory.

Thanks a lot... Also I'm inclined to move to 4.2.2. Suggest that i use a custom ROM or wait for Samsung to release an official one?

It's your choice mate but keep in mind that on some ROMS you would lose some of the unique capabilities of your s-pen or some other stuff like HDMI out (on non touchwiz based roms).
I like to have a best of both worlds and running Criskelo ROM (tw based) v17 with saber kernel. It's still 4.2.1 but rock stable, great battery life and with overclock it's faster than stock ROM but you would need to run a benchmark to notice it.

Hi friend you can choose Swift rom, im using it and it is fast and im having a screen time of 8:30 hours, you can try it, or choose an aosp rom but youll lose all the s pen functions and the sammys camera, you can even try changing other kernel, hope i helped

[Q] no ROM makes my xperia S works well

Hi everyone, i have a Xperia S from 2 year ago. I have bootloader unlock and i tried a lot of roms. But since a 9 months my xperia S is very lag, and freeze very often. For example if i exit of any app the icons launcher and the app menu are slow to appear. Apps like Instagram get unexpected close if i watch very image. This problems was happend with any rom that i flash. I don't know what happen.
I made a full format, format the intern storage and nothing was better. What do you recommend me? Stop to flash roms and flash the original from Sony with flashtool?
Thanks from read. And apologize for my english, it's not my native language.

Have you tried to change the kernel?, because maybe that's the problem...
I can't help you with that because i've locked bootloader, but you can try stock based roms to try if continues working slow... I've just now using Nature Xperia and works fine.

A factory restore would definitely help you identify the issue. If it is software related, you will find out once you flash with the stock firmware. If it is still slow after you do a full stock flash, then it might be hardware related, in which case, it might simply mean that your device has had it and it is time to get a new one! You can't rule out that either...

Try an AOSP based ROM or a ROM with it's own kernel like Carbon ROM. Maybe that will help.

Yes try Android 4.3 from CM10.1 use MAKO version and not the CAF version. This is really decent rom. And make sure you move apps regularly to sd after installation
do not use and clock widgets or live wallpapers. Install ES Task manager and have shortcut in homepage so that you can kill all instantly and freesome space if reqd.

I would recommend a Android 4.4 as they have more support plus what He said about widgets and live wallpapers.

The best ROM is the one you like. I know you said 4.4.2, but you might want to consider going to a Lollipop ROM. I've been using AryaMod from over in the international Note 3 forum, and it is awesome. Best ROM i've used for the Note 3. It's a Note 4 port, very stable, and is very customizable. Plus, the development is very fast with that ROM. Take a look for yourself.

Yes, it was a little confusing at first. Here's what I did to get it working.
1. I used this thread to upgrade to NK3 baseband and then root it via Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-to-root-nf4-knox-0x0-effortless-nf4-t2846142
2. Then I downloaded TWRP Manager from the Play store and installed TWRP 2.8.4.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
3. Next, I did a full wipe/data factory reset, then flashed AryaMod
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58582992&postcount=2034
4. Finally, I rebooted and flashed v2 of the wifi fix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/wifi-bluetooth-fix-s5-ported-roms-t2938607
That should get you up and running. Enjoy.

From your usage, can you tell us what is working and what is not beside the NFC?

Well...from my experience everything is working. Wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc. I haven't had any fc on anything, and all of the s-pen features work as they should. I haven't dug down and played with all of the settings yet though. There are some advanced settings that I'd like to play with. My speeds on T-Mobile are fantastic, but I don't think that is the ROM.

How is the rom working? Any issues

Hi Techngro,
I think you are on the lollipop rom for couple of days. I am planning to install the AryaMod V2.0 on my stock rom, are there any issues you encountered or any FC. The latest AryaModV3.1 has been released, is it better to install the V2.0 or go with V3.1. Any suggestions.

I haven't flashed the 3.1 ROM yet because I like to wait a while and see if there are any issues with new updates. There have been some reports of some problems, but you can never know whether that is actually the ROM, or just user error (didn't wipe properly, dirty flash, etc.).
My suggestion to you is, since you're going to flash anyway, flash the latest update first (3.1), and see if it works for you. If you have any problems then you can flash 2.0.

Dude, you are using a T-Mobile Note 3 (based on your signature)...
There is simply no ROM that compares to Tweaked ROM. 100% fully functional and tons of customization options.
Some have recommended you move to a Lollipop ROM... Since your statement is avoiding bugs, issues, etc, I would avoid following that bad advice, since every single one of them will be a port, and none of them will have working NFC, and you are bound to not be satisfied. I can't for the life of me understand why people pay 700 bucks for a handheld computer, then ruin it's functionality and strip the cool software and features from it that they paid tons of money for... but to each his own I guess.
Like I said, based on your post, you are best off with Tweaked ROM by dwitherell. I don't know the guy but dang he seems to know his stuff, and does all of his work solo. I've been using his ROMs since I got my Note 2. Won't touch anything else.

can confirm 3.1 works. I tried it out since i like to see what each rom offers and so far havent encountered no bugs and the battery life is amazing. Glad i read into this.

Best ROM out there is the ROM that doesn't mess up your phone, everything works, get and receive all your calls and messages, take great pics, with super battery life. No f/c's ,no freeze, no black unresponsive screen, no incompatible apps.
It's called .................... Stock/rooted/debloated ROM.

Thank You

[Q] xperia z1c lollipop memory leak issue

is current xperia z1c lollipop still have memory leak issue ?
I used lollipop for 2 days already. and it always restart my game (minimized to background) after I open browser to use google (yeah only 2 recent apps displayed. chrome and game apps).
I hate this because my game need long time and heavy bandwidth at loading screen. I never get this problem when I used kitkat. I heard there's xposed module to fix this memory leak issue but my phone isnt rooted.
or is there a way to return to default OS (kitkat) like when I first bought it ? maybe I'll do this way. reset it to kitkat again. but I dont know how.
thanks.

You can flash stock kitkat with flashtool. I should have stock EU . 157 rom somewhere on my pc and can upload it if you want.
Flashing stock rom is pretty easy. Watch a tutorial or something. I can help you a bit more when back home.
Back to your question. I have no idea I'm still running kitkat as L is still not available in my country.

is it working to use your stock rom at my country ? I thought different country have different kind of rom. not sure about this if this is true or not.
flashing stock rom doesnt need root access, right ? and maybe can I also backup current lollipop OS that I have so I can reflash it when it has been fixed ?.
so far what I like from lollipop is when someone call me, I can still use other app because call notification only use small box on top of my current running app. I like this feature very much.

It depends where do you live. If in EU it should be fine. If not I can find a rom good for your location.
No, flashing custom rom does not require rooted device.
I think you don't have to do the backup as you'll be able to just update it again ( at least I think so)

Generally you can root your phone without unlocking bootloader. It worked for me, at least on kitkat. I'm not sure what about the Lollipop though.
You should better ask someone else too as I'm not as experienced and don't want to give you false info.
But if there's pre-rooted rom here and it's working for android L you don't have to unlock bootloader to flash it.

okay I can get lollipop with root+xposed (all day tried this. I read some tutorial how to do it properly because this is my 1st time doing something like this. so tired ). although I dont know if xposed wont work perfectly like you said because I only use 3 modules so far. App Settings (keep screen on for game I'm playing) and Fix Lollipop Memory Leak and gravitybox (LP).
what I've done :
- downloaded kitkat 14.4.A.0.157 from XperiFirm. and flashed it using flashtool.
- I've realized .0157 can't be rooted for now. so I've used your link that you gave (Root FW 14.4.A.0.157 (LB/UBL) ).
- after get root access, then I installed recovery using Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.11-RELEASE.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com/
- after that I flashed 14.5.A.0.242_CustomizedFR_Pre-Rooted_Dualrecovery 2.8.10 + Fix Xposed for Lollipop using recovery.
- and flashed Massive debloating and Xposed. links and procedure are also from that pre-rooted rom thread.
so far, no bootloop. dont know if I add some xposed modules again. I heard it will get bootloop if too many xposed modules is installed (?)

Hey there, the XperiFirm dev here.
No one answered your question so I will. The answer is: No.
Sony made sure to include the memory leak fix built in (the exact fix that the Xposed module offers) for their Lollipop releases. The Xposed module is pointless.
See attached screenshot. Basically the Xposed module replaces the AOSP function with exactly the same function but with this additional "release()" line. As you can see, Xperia already has this line included.

wow thanks to coming here :victory:
lol. so it's pointless to install that module because they are same thing exactly. time to uninstall.
actually my game is still restarted after I browsing a little. although I still see a lot of free memory in here. before, I thought this is because of that memory leak issue but I'm wrong.
if only there's module that can prevent lollipop refresh/restart/clear my game at memory when I minimized it at background.

I have the same problem, only with audio apps in the background. Pocket Casts, Stitcher and BeyondPod all crash and stop playing when running in the background, after I do something else like load the game Threes. This never used to happen with KitKat. I've also noticed that iplayer radio gets very jerky and skips back and forth by a quarter of a second continuously as soon as I turn off the screen. [edit - I just listened to it for a few minutes with the screen off and it suddenly cut out. I turned the screen on an the app was no longer in my notifications tray]
If Sony fixed this particular memory leak, what's going wrong with my phone? Could it be related to the fact that I've encrypted if for the first time? I'm getting desperate enough to consider factory resetting and losing everything, because listening to podcasts and playing threes is one of my favourite activities. It's not a demanding game for my year old, top of the line phone. My cheap tablet manages it, and so did the phone on KitKat!

[Q] What is the most stable Xperia ZL/ZQ ROM?

Hello!
I have all the firmware downloaded on my computer and still not know which is the most stable of all. Could anyone help me? I will leave it up to the Sony version 5.1.1 available.
Thanks! :good:

can anybody help?

all the firmware downloaded!! I don't think you even know what you mean by stable. So just use what came from the factory if you must have the most stable of all !! or use what you like, YOUR CHOICE!

I'm searching for the best features followed by O.S.
Original and primary ROM is 4.1.2, but it wasn't some basic apps which I need (album, walkman, movie). I want a O.S. which contains long battery life, graphics ok, games ok, no lagging...
Meanwhile, I'm using 4.4.4 10.5.1.A.0.283

I have used 5.0.2 version. The Phone is managing better memory, and this version came with all apps that you told.

after update to 5.0.2, the volume came too low, Walkman/Music lost important features (xLoud, unique ClearAudio+), stamina does not function correctly, battery drains 10% per hour while using Facebook and WhatsApp sometimes. But the UI performance is awesome! Some games starts to lag, but not all.
