Coming from an iPhone 4S, I am very glad with the Sony Xperia Z1C that I bought a few months ago to replace it. The Z1C is still running on KitKat and it works perfectly fine. It is not rooted btw.
Now I am considering to update to Lollipop, but I wonder if that would be wise. On various forums, e.g. the Sony support forum, I read some "horror stories" (o.k. a bit exaggerated maybe) about decreased battery life, overheating etc. after a Lollipop update.
I already asked for an opinion on the Sony forum, but got an, imo, rather meaningless reply saying that earlier updates also had many complaints and the started thread was locked almost immediately by a moderator after that reply.
Now I hope that I can get some advice here. Is there a more or less general consensus here about updating or not ?
Thanks in advance.
I have absolutely no complains about this update. Still have great battery life, but no overheating or whatsoever. The phone is as pleasant to use use as before the update if not more
Opinions differ. Some specialists from this forum reverted from LP to KK for different reasons.
My personal opinion is that with every step ahead software becomes more complicated, investigates you and your activities in bigger grade and is more troublesome during rooting and personal modifications.
Since long ago my principal rule is: "Don't touch things which work correctly".
I am still on KK .108 however I tuned it in 100+ places to suit my needs.
I had crapy sound problem and don't recommend lollipop yet.

Exactly.
For me, update to lollipop is a completely waste of time unfortunately again on 5.1.1. Poor multitasking, camera quality worst than kitkat (whitish tone on captured pictures and viewfinder lag in medium or low light conditions), battery draining... I prefer stability, performance and battery of kitkat than smoothness or visual changes from lollipop
performance on LP is better than KK. see aututu, it got 2000-3000 points more.
remember its a phone, and its better than 90% of the phones out there. it will never be S6 edge or whatever.
i like the smoothness in 5.1.1. if it was KK it would stand still for a sec or two, makes it feel slow, like this that is covered in animations.
about multitasking, got no issues, FB and the chat are great, instagram is fast, skype and viber work nice. 2 years almost and still kicking.
5.0.2 was laggy, and poor battery life.
5.1 is quick, good battery life, good multitasking.
The only thing worse about LP is the camera refresh rate. It look lower than 20fps (with KK it looks to be 60fps).

From a technical standpoint, according to munjeni, who is well recognized as very knowledgeable in these things, KK is better, (.108 firmware specifically). He has a lot to say about it in his thread for his stock based LP ROM. Personally, I don't know much about all that, so for me it's more about user experience and trying something new. I like to go back and forth. I guess it just depends on what your priorities are.

It's exactly my opinion too buddy :good: and since, from what I read here, there is too much discordance amongst opinion, I think I'm going to keep faith to this mantra still for a long of time LOL

Well. This IS a point, especially if you have free time to spend.
Otherwise I suggest to root phone, tune sound, camera, fast dormancy, gps.conf, remove bloatware, use better battery stats to tune battery usage, install Xposed modules and do more similar actions.
No comparison to branded phone.
LP is great regarding the user experience (visuals and animations) and I was able to get rid of a couple of apps after switching from KK (lock screen notifications, bt watch keeping device unlocked -> smart lock). Performance and battery life are still ok and I can not notice any difference.
but ... if you are considering moving to cm12.1
you should wait until the wifi / bt bug has been fixed, which is a major problem
and there is an issue with AudioFX (equalizer) that keeps crashing, which is annoying

Im thinking about updating to Android 6 but im not quite sure if i should do it already.
Heard some good things about perfomance and overall feeling but also about lowered Imagequality.
What are your pros and cons about the update? Is it worth going? Pls help me

Well thx for your response! [emoji14]
im currently on fulmics 2.7 with xceed and its feeling really smooth. There is not a real reason for me to upgrad but i feel a bit outdated if i stay on lp. I know its stupid.
Im not using the camera for high quality shots at all but i also dont want to loose some of the quality. Is there any chance that lg will update the camera problem?
and about the knock code: i think there is no way for the devs to disable the "6knocks3areas" rule? i love the knock code on lp and dont want to miss it
I think I will wait and see if LG can fix this problems or maybe a dev can
As far as I know the MM release is somewhat a beta release since it was only released in Poland. It being a beta, I guess it's normal to have a numerous amount of bugs. So better wait for the global final release before ranting out on unfinished beta software.

Dont rly know what you talking about. Knock code for me works fine and camera FV 5 does the job well on every condition.
V30b is doing fine with and am most satisfied with batery life.
But looks like its just mz expiriance and its up to you if your going to wait for the nwxt relese or upgrade like me.
All the best .
:tapatalkin'
Ya works fine with me to. v30b is one smooth ride. knock code is only 2 more taps anyway so thats not to bad as far as camera goes it grand. Believe me LP sucks ass compared to this. do yourself a favor and flash+root v30b sure if you dont like it you can allways go back to lolipop ?

Each to their own. /TLDR. Narf.
If you come up with a claim at least try to put a reason behind it - everything else is just pure arrogance or simply said hot air venting from between the two bottom halves.
The JPG-Engine seemingly was downgraded just like the Camera is way less responsible and OIS (even while hardware-based) seems to be fcked up with their drivers introducing lag as such leading to blurry pictures under the same conditions that were absolutely fine on LP.
(And I don't have Parkinson)
Just ask kairi_zeroblade but I bet he's tired of those endless discussions with people that don't bring up reason or listen to those with more insight and technical knowledge (like him - I'm not even speaking about myself that is).
Like I said - each to their own. If you need to experience it yourselves and don't care you're free to do so.

Heres my problem with your opinion. Which it is an opinion. As with most reviews people give on xda, people here already have a high expectation based on their technical experience or lack there of. Ive found that if i compare peoples reviews from xda to other sites or real world, youll find a really wide spread. Im not saying youre wrong but you project opinion off as fact. Even reading this reply to people you attack anyone disagreeing by saying they are sheep or arrogant. Ever heard of variance. Sure every device comea off the line "identical" but errors happen. If you have a defective phone to begin with a software update may not fix it. Its why you get people on so many places on a line. Ive been with android since the beginning and these kind of responses have always happened. Ive seen peolle post and say that "everyone " is having the issue and they should either not buy the device or not update. Xda is not representative at all of any real user base for a specific device. For anyone looking for whether or not to install something or update. Id say take everything with a grain of salt and read many reviews. In the end its hpw you see the device.

Don't know what you're complaining about, ever since v30b was released, it completely changed my G3. The interface lags in Lollipop are gone, there was a 2sec stutter everytime I wanted to do something under 5.0. App switching is instant and the whole interface is running at 60Fps. In lollipop even the slide down menu was laggy as hell. I like the G4 UX and battery sleep time is actually a bit better than Lollipop. I'm extremely happy that LG kept updating the G3 and fixed a lot of problems, I will not update my phone this year. And I agree with @monkeypaws, a lot of people here praise stock based custom roms and kernels. The truth no one wants to hear on this forum is this : Stock based custom roms are 100% useless. You can do the debloating using Root Browser, you can install third party apps like App Ops or Kernel Auditor yourself. Custom Roms are not magic, a lot of people talk about how BUTTER SMOOTH this and SLEEP LIKE A BABY that and so on. Wake up, it's not any different than stock rom. So are custom kernels bumped to Linux 3.4.111 sources. Most of them are horrible in terms of battery saving because of 'Overclocking'. Apart from frying your already hot as a potato G3 on light use, you'll do nothing interesting to it.
The only noteworthy content in XDA are Cyanogenmods, AOSP, and the ports like on the Samsung scene, where the S6 edge features ported to the S5, or 5.1.1 ported to the S5 that was officially supported up to 5.0.2 only a few months back. There's actual work done, not some twelvie on Archikitchen feeling like a developer

For me,build 2a is still best.It's the most stable and battery friendly build for me.
Build 5 had poor battery timing for me and build 6 had several random reboots per day.Only thing I miss from latest builds is increased charging speed,but i can live without that
Gee thanks buddy...will give it a shot...
Hello everyone. I want to share with you my experience with Lg G3 2 gb version with stock android 6.0 mm. I have installed android mm on my device since 2 january. After one month of use i can say that updating to mm, for me ,was a very bad idea. I don't know how it is on other lg g3's but mine it got worse after the update. The camera is much worse than lp, memory management is just awful...multitasking became ussels...almost impossible, the phone is laggy and it stutter very bad. In my case lollipop was so much better than android mm. Only pros for the mm are the battery life and better looking UI. (sorry for my english, it's not my main language)
I find Marshmallow much better than Lollipop in the other hand.
Lollipop had bad battery life, performance was very inconsistent (sometimes it was fine, often I would get 10 second white screen hanging while launching apps like facebook, youtube, etc. ). But two worst things about Lollipop were often force closes of LG's launcher and invisible apps in Recents window. And all that was happening even though it was heavily tweaked to reduce the lag and preserve battery life. Quickcircle wasnt usable and practical at all (if you use it ofc).
Marshmallow has much better UI (all Lollipop UI bugs are fixed), performance is great and it's also CONSISTENT, just like battery life. I feel the camera is the same (IF YOU WANT TRUE CAMERA BUY A DSLR). Memory management is the same (it was good on Lollipop already). Quickcircle finally makes sense and it's practical.
If using stock roms, Lollipop is very unusable and need heavy tweaking until it's tolerable. Even then, Marshmallow is much more consistent and more responsive than heavily tweaked Lollipop and there are no random force closes.
If you are rooted, backup your existing Lollipop ROM, try out Fulmics MM ROM. If you dont like it, you can easily restore you LP ROM.
After all this different opinions i think i will wait for the global release. Fulmics 3.1 Rom seems to be good but maybe LG will fix some of their fails like knock code. LP is running pretty good for me so theres no real reason to upgrade
But thanks anyways!
I just wanted to say that xpirt managed to change the Knock Code in his MM Rom. Fulmics 3.5 has a 3 Taps Knock Code
So theres one probleme less. Maybe LG will fix their camera too
Hi everyone,
I just got a HTC ONE M9, as my Redmi Note 4 broke. Can you guys please recommend best stable and high performing roms for this device?
I know I might get some flak for being a noob and lazy, but I did try LOS 16 (since I adore stock Android ) and Stock Deodexed rom, but LOS lags a lot and Stock rom looks outdated .
Thanks in advance

I won't give ya any flak for asking the rom question...
The truth is.....nobody can answer that question with any degree of accuracy because we all like different things.
LOS16 is the latest firmware we have...with AICP as well. And bear in mind that our M9's are ancient by today's phone standards.
Lag is just plain going to happen....but...
You can adjust the cores and optimize the experience which generally offers a good improvement.
And I may get flak for this....but if you are running apps like Facebook and instagram and many others....I can tell you that lag will be worse.
Apps like these are memory hogs that eat battery like crazy.
A lean and stripped down LOS 16 flash is fast and smooth.
Give it another try...and use the browser for Facebook and such instead of loading the apps.
It makes a huge difference for me....g

Thanks a lot, mate LOS developer is probably going to change CPU governor settings in next build, as some other people reported it lagging too in this build, so will give it another try. It just can't get any better than stock android.
Hello, i bought this device couple of months back from amazon, ever since it first arrived it has been very laggy, now some of u may say its because of 2gb ram but i have used other redmi devices in the past which comprised of 2gb ram (redmi2 prime, redmi 5 and redmi 6) but this device is way way more laggy then them, and i dont even do any heavy use, im talking about switching between youtube and chrome, as soon as i do that the app restarts, all games are laggy, all apps are laggy, i switched to a custom rom (AOSP Extended) even that lagged so i reverted to miui 11 and hoped it might help but nope. even the camera lags, i just cant tell wether its some factory issue or what, does anybody else have this issue with the said device or is there any way to detect the issue? please dont comment with "its 2gb bruh what do you expect" i currently do have a redmi 5 and i **** you not its performing worse then that, the camera quality and all is fine even the gpu is good but theres just this weird lag, even opening my keyboard makes it lag. not minor lags, MAJOR MAJOR LAGS, Please help me with this issue, can i claim warranty or something?:crying::crying:
which phones you have used before they aren't based on Android 9. But Redmi 7 is based on Android 9. Android 9 is heavier than the older version of Android. so 2GB RAM is not good enough. if you flash a custom rom like AOSP extended that is more ram hungry than MIUI.
PLEASE DON'T MIND. I THINK YOU HAVE NO OPTIONS. I am sorry for this.

I figured out the porblem. There's something wrong with some of the onclite devices, they give you 50% or even less performance on stock kernel, as soon as i used other kernels (zeus/neon) the phone has been godspeed smooth, only probelm with the custom kernles is one has WiFi bug and other has SD not detected bug, otherwise it's amazing.

Even I do get such huge lags. But due to improvements in custom kernels and ROMs, the speed has increased. You can try out some of the ROMs that have the newer zram config and see

yesterday i was checking if there was a firmware upgrade for my phone (SM-A325F) on samfw. well for other reasons. i saw an update for other regions that was unusual. Samsung had bumped the binary bit version from 2 to 3. Now this scared me. since if the fw arrives for all the regions it will make it undowngradable to one ui 3.1 or 4.1. since I am using gsi's (Generic System Images) which is currently crdroid 9.2. It may cause a problem if samsung breaks something with the update. Since i wont be able to downgrade to older firmwares. Twrp might also be a problem since i have seen threads on a12 that some twrp versions do not work for some binary bit versions. That scared me. Although i could get around this by using repacksuper but still. I have a custom kernel made by myself that i am daily driving. it will make it hard to install since i'll have to decompress and repack boot.img. Then disabling encryption... i am pretty sure gsi's wont boot with encryption enabled. I have no idea on how i' disable it. without twrp. there might be ways i'd have to do research.
I might just be overthinking. but yes. i'll have to test when it comes out for my region. I am also waiting for one ui 5.1 which may also have bumped binary bit version.

Rule #1 - if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be!
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. It can easily turn into a time devouring hurt locker tour if it damages, alters or destroys features or functionalities you are using and depending on.

thats true. but i have been facing weird issues with android 13 firmware's vendor. thats why i wanted to upgrade. I wont for now. It also seems a bit slow to me. unlike other people saying that running generic system images on their vendor works fine and smooth. while its laggy for me.

Between a rock and a hard place... Google punches these systems out too fast. Problems are a given. Best to stick with one version, find fixes, work arounds and be happy. Otherwise you'll constantly be mucking with it.
I'm still running 9 and 10 on my stock N10+'s. No way I'm upgrading. I prefer Pie though. Current load on this N10+ will be 3yo in June, still running fast and stable. Zero security issues in that time.
Scoped storage... No. It wasn't needed; it just causes headaches and unwarranted complexity.
Gookill invariably makes a mess out of anything they do (or kill it) eventually; it's their nature.

Ive gotten excellent mileage from One UI once the device was optimized. Before it was optimized it was a mess. However Samsung firmware can vary widely from model to model, region, hardware and so on. That makes things more difficult and unpredictable.
Until you get on top on it Samsung is a pain. One reason I refuse to upgrade hardware, firmware or software is this device is running pretty clean, fulfilling its mission, requiring very little maintenance and it's fun to use.

welp for me its the opposite here. one ui is absolutely laggy with its terrible restricted animations for Mid range phones. Then it lags while doing normal tasks. i have found gsi's to be more smoother than one ui. I hate firmware upgrades too. but since this shet is weird and has litt unkown bugs no one has ever seen before upgrading to a newer fw is my only option. Otherwise i'd be stuck on one ui with terrible optimizations for this phone. My friends own the same Galaxy A32 4G and i have seen one ui lag on their phones. it is terrible.

Hard to say why that is without playing with it.
One UI should be fast, stable and use very little battery. If you saw this N10+ out of the box though it could be described as what you are seeing. It was a handful at first. Literally getting less then half the SOT it gets now. The lagging generally is caused by junk running in the background, that was noticeably slowing down this phone. Using up possessor and modem bandwidth. Quit the terror
I eventually got it optimized using with Package Disabler, settings and a few 3rd party apps. It's a completely different experience from that hog mess it first was.

using floating.xml tweaks i made my one ui installation some what usable. also note... (haha note..) your note 10+ is an older flagship phone. while the galaxy A32 is a mid ranger that samsung pays less attention to. Thus we are hit with such bugs and terrible optimizations disabled features till to this day. obv samsung rigs the one ui experience on these phones on purpose. otherwise they'll be "too good". even using alot of tweaks and mod doesnt help improve it much. trust me i tried daily driving one ui with floating tweaks and others..

Likely true. The older N10+ is likely a better choice than the newer midrange Samsung's due mostly to hardware but maybe firmware too. The newer Samsung flagships haven't turned out all that well either. The variable refresh rate displays are causing a lot of troubles across the board. Scoped storage is another CPU cycle sucking issue on Android 11 and higher.
5G can add to the problem; if in use it can use a lot of resources.
Rather than squander money on their Fold technology Samsung maybe should have thrown the money at it's midrange phones...

The newer Samsung flagships haven't turned out all that well either. The variable refresh rate displays are causing a lot of troubles across the board. Scoped storage is another CPU cycle sucking issue on Android 11 and higher.
5G can add to the problem; if in use it can use a lot of resources.
Rather than squander money on their Fold technology Samsung maybe should have thrown the money at it's midrange phones...

this is exactly why i am never getting a samsung again. especially midrangers. they are wful. idk why samsung even bothers to make phones if they cant maintain it properly. Yet mor phones are being added to A series line up day by day.
Like a software update literally bricked my fingerprint on display. looking at the logs. my keystore is gone and using no matter what firmware it wont come back. great samsung. the last great thing abt this phone for me is gone now.
Yet i remember how upgrading to one ui 4.1 from 3.1 caused an issue where my ril would restart when using data. It would happen randomly. One ui 5 fixed this later on but wow samsung...
i had to resort to gsi's to get a working phone again since one ui 3.1 was slow af.
samsung has basically fuked me in every single way. and now i am just stuck with this thing for 4-5 years.
so to fix such annoying bugs that still exist. i my have to do the update... Yes ik it may cause my ability of downgrading to go away but still.. atleast i may get a better experience hopefully. otherwise welp ig i'll be stuck on one ui again. sucks to be me.

The N10+ Snap is still a good choice if you don't need to root if you can get one running on 9 or 10. The Exynos variant can be rooted but the hardware isn't as good. The spen is very useful.
I learned the hard way with my S4+ that it's a big mistake to upgrade/update the firmware especially on carrier phones. Haven't repeated that mistake.
I don't blame you for being irate about Samsung. They are a mess. The N10+ is the only Samsung I would consider getting even now.
I think this is getting off-topic.

yeah it is. main purpose of my thread was if twrp breaks due to diff version of bootloader. because i wont be able to downgrade once i upgrade. I could patch my stock recovery for fadtbootd but i would still love to have twrp.
An update. so i built a kernel for this thing using source samsung released with the bumped bit version. flashed it on an older bit 2 firmware. it works fine and i am daily driving it now. i thought it wouldnt boot. but it does.
So looks like the update i previously refered to had SB3 boot loader. i saw it for nepal. while i just saw one ui 5.1 drop for this phone with the U3 boot loader. i am upgrading and i'll tell wether the twrp and other stuff works. If not i'll report any workarounds i used.
