Stock 4.3 is nice, fluid, fast, no lags, reboots faced yet (not sure what feature u were referring to)... And thanks to xposed, i've got almost everything i otherwise get from aosp roms.. excited to finally have the headphone button working again.. never worked on any aosp builds... 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.. With krabappel gone, n the gpe hype fading away n with the rest of the dev communities like cm or pa or even fxp not really giving a ****, i guess sony n xposed modules are our only hope for clinging on to this magnificent beast of a phone.

Loves this beast really much...
Just hoping that santa will send someone to develop ZU...
Merry X-mas everyone...
Updated to 4.3 yesterday and it really surprised me how smooth it is. Not that 4.2.2 was laggy, but it's overall a little smoother. It has a nicer feeling.

Still nothing in the UK, nout on the Tablet Z either.
So no one else has a reboot?I've had two in the last 4 days. Probably only noticed as I was using it, one I picked it up and it was half way through a reboot.
So just me?

Not yet... As I always updated twice....
1. Update via PCC.
2. Make my own FTF and clean flash...
To verify random reboots.... I enabled SIM PIN so that it will stuck on PIN entry screen... Lol...
Sent from my C6802 using Tapatalk
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:
Merry Christmas, good to see that customs decided to play nice and release your phone for Christmas

Must point out is strange that nobody complains about ...
Slow
lags and stuck when return to launcher - each time coming out of something heavy ,everything in SLOW MOTION ..i can see the icons and WIDGETS back one by one....(even with omega 5,6,7,8)
Sudden departures from heavy games
Where are the 4 cores??
its not bother anyone that we bought the BEST SMART STRONG phone .. IPHONE BREAKER ...
and its working like "unfinished product"...
maybe its all abouy the launcher??? i dont know..im worked with servel launchers...everything seems to be that same...
maybe tommorow i'll find ROM that will fix all of it....for now...I'm really disappointed...
Take it back you have a defective phone!

Alot ALOT of people will atest that this phone is not the lagging mess you make it out to be. i see NO lag at all. even out of the box when using certain launchers. TSF shell is a ZERO lag launcher no matter what. but its 15 bucks
other than that other roms may help your issue, but it is not a dissapointing phone at all in my OP
Agree one or the other is defective .

I'm silent about all these problems because I don't have any. Phone is like butter, it's a wonderful user experience and the best phone I've ever had. A real keeper, might even keep a phone for a year this time.
I'm not disputing your issues but you chose a terrible thread title. 99% of owners are happy just like me that's why we are "silent".

I know you're exaggerating the problems a bit, but I can see some of the problems you experience. There are instances where it does lag on touch response and I don't see it too often, but it does happen.
Redraw is an issue that's for sure. I've updated to LFB and I still see the redraw but not as often.
I'm running stock on the current LFB firmware and I haven't rooted the phone. I don't install alot of crap on my phone either.
I love the phone regardless; the few minor problems don't deter from the overall experience. It's generally smooth I have to say.
Also, the issues probably have to do with software optimization both with Samsung's firmware and apps from the Play Store. I'm sure as Samsung pushes more updates out, the phone will get smoother and most of the initial problems people experience will be ironed out. This goes the same for Apps in the Play Store. S3 will be the most supported phone so developers will optimize all their apps to run smoother with the S3.
Patience.
There are some problems as the launcher redraws and some lag from time to time, but I'm coming from the HTC Desire. To get the experience you get on the S3 on the Desire you have to tweak the crap out of it and it won't even get close to the S3. It's a wonderful phone, you are either overreacting or your phone is defect.
There are rare Launcher redraws (and it is happening less on LFB). I don't know how this can be "full of problems". It happens very ocasionally and the redraw is very fast and then the phone is buttery smooth again.
Im having a slight lag sometimes after leaving shadowgun or a different heavy game such as nova 3 but after few seconds, everything goes back to normal. Nothing major to complain about.
I guess you might have a faulty phone so take it back for inspection and best of luck.

I think you're overreacting. Lag? No .Maybe stutter but I don't experience that at all unless I have a bunch of apps install while i m using the phone Plus being on checkrom I have yet to have the redraw issue. You need to compare your S3 to the competition to see how butterry smooth that phone is. As far as home button lag, just disable s voice and it will be gone.

Not from Brazil, I guarantee.
As far as the hardware goes, my phone is flawless, like a top grade diamond!
Perhaps you have some buggy widget on your home screen, that is making the home screen app misbehave, and - not being a developer thus not knowing how everything interconnects - starts blaming the device.
You sound like those car owners that blame the manufacturer because the car run out of fuel or because they simply can't drive.
If you think the device is such a mess (that you apparently caused, because you already tried non-stock ROMs on it), just return it.
Maybe Android is not for you... try an iPhone instead.

I can certainly see the bad app/rouge widget messing with your screens.
i had a battery widget on my galaxy Note right before i got the S3 and it would make EVERY Launcher Lag when i had it sitting on my home screen.
was just by chance that i forgot to add it back after installing a new Rom and noticed all the lag/stutter was Gone. so it happens man just check it out, i hope its something as simple as just a bad app/widget.
Buy iPhone and no problems for you if you dhont like Sgs3.

I am the pickiest guy in the world. I went from GS2(perfect except battery life), iPhone 4s(Bluetooth, wifi, had to reset, everybody and their grandma has the same phone as me), Xperia S(too thick for pockets, old CPU, yellow screen, USB port flap and placement), and HTC One X(stutter and just about everything).
No problems. This phone is amazing. Believe me, I am super vocal about any little problem myself.
IThe S3 was the best compromise for me.
The One X hasnt got SdCard, One S the same + unswapable batteries.
Galaxy nexus also hasnt got SdCard so i went to the S3
I dont like Touchwiz and Samsung Crap, this is the reason I run a custom firmware.
The Phone is blazingly fast.
Regards.
maybe im overreacting ....BUT...on iphone i'd never had those lag problems..never got kicked in the middle of a game or application...
i can't fell the monster CPU it had...
just formatted the phone and installed PARANOID rom...i will try to work few days without installing alot of applications....
Hi guys!
I invite you joining my thread on talk.sonymobile.com (sony forums) to complain about latest firmware updates (.54 and 75) which are far from clean:
Here's the link: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/69020
***************************************************************************
And here's my post, please everyone go and tell them to hurry for a bugfix, i'm tired of wating them giving us a good update!
thank you very much for your attention!
Hey Guys!
So I'm here again like after every update!
Thank you sony for updating our phones, but hey Bugs are still here, what can we do ?
After 2 days with 6.1.1.b.1.75 here's what I can say:
- Camera: bugs like **** (in 8MPX dark scene you don't see anything and in 6MPX there's lot of "noise" on the picture (more than before, and there's a kind of blurring on the sides of the pictures) and when I take pictures in bright areas, I can see some stripes on the pictures, I'll try to get you some examples but I won't share my personnal photos huh!
- Sound bug: Noticeable when xLoud is ON, I turn xLoud OFF then ON to fix it but it fixes for 10minutes after it comes back,
it's very Annoying when pressing icons, the sound is cracking, it's even more when unlocking phone and ringing, When I unlock, sound makes normally a "click" sound, but here I can hear the speaker ON when I approach my ear to the speaker, it cracks and stays on 1 or 2 seconds after the CLICK is done (click is also cracking), it's exactly the same thing as My XPERIA X1 was doing when I installed Android on it, I mean with poor homemade drivers on XDA by some random guys (ok they were geniuses but that was not their work, sony engineers HAVE TO make a correct software)
- Lags: All gone, it's the only advantage to have .75 Firmware!
- Reboots: I have none.
- Battery: No problems battery, it's very good actually.
- invisible bar: I don't have any problems with invisible bar as some people have encountered, like higher sensitivity on one of the 3 buttons or brightness.
All I can tell you this time is that I have those bugs since .54 update, and it's absolutely a shame that I have to always go back to old firmwares just to have no bugs because new firmwares seem more stable and smooth but bugged as ****, it also was doing fine all day yesterday and started getting crazy from today! so please when you test it just test it longer than 10minutes!
I don't see any other problems for now or at least I don't remember, be sure i'll be reporting them again and again until Sony developers unstick their fingers from their ****** to fix those unacceptable bugs!

Hey so I got the Galaxy S6 Edge on release as my contract was finally running out right before. I liked it a lot, other than the crap that is Touchwiz and it has started to run super slow as of late. I've been running Nova Prime which speeds it up a bit but I have to constantly wipe everything from RAM so that it doesn't lag just to go from Youtube to texting and back (and even then it still slightly lags). Lately it's been getting progressively worse and I haven't downloaded any new apps in ages or anything at all, just the usual social media and texting - that's it. We're talking no apps multi-tasking and I go to open Play Music and it just shows a black screen and 20secs later it shows the app.. I've pretty well had enough especially with waiting so long for 5.1 that a phone that's so expensive has issues much cheaper phones don't even have.
This is probably the wrong thread to post this but I was wondering if anyone else has gone through these problems and if so did you find a way to fix it? Other than that I'm wondering what phone would be a better choice for me. The typical flagships come to mind but what phone seems to be the best to you as of late? Thanks!

My phone started to lag but ive rooted mine on 5.1.1 and a few days after i deleted some bloatware it started to lag but its not too bad. When it does get bad i power it off for a couple minutes and power it back on and unlock it and let it sit there doing nothing for a few minites and then it returns to its normal speed.

Nope. I really loved my z3 and while the camera was able to take great photos it was no where close to s6. Especially when needed to snap and shoot. With z3 you had to do manual controls and even then results wasn't always great.
Everything else (except the design) I liked z3 more than s6 edge

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.

That's an OS problem, not an app problem.

Yeah I know, gosh I'm not that stupid... It is just a temporary fix while we are waiting for 5.1.1 improvements, if there will be any
What Chrome uninstalling gives you?

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.

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.

So I have tried almost every thing to fix the lag that came with lollipop 5.1.1 my phone locks up and becomes completely unresponsive . Until I reboot. Often when I'm browsing and the phone rings I am not able to answer it and end up rebooting the phone and calling back the missed call. I was about to revert to kitkat when I decided to try removing my micro sdcard. I opened up a lot of apps YouTube Facebook Twitter etc. And had my wife call me twice. So far no problems and no lag. If I can get by for a week like this with no issues I will just live without the sdcard. Otherwise I go back to kitkat
I'm noticing the same thing on 5.1.1 and I haven't been able to isolate it. I thought it might be a corrupted app so I downgraded or reinstalled frequently used apps. Still testing. Downgrading to KK isn't an option for me because I want to be patched for stage fright. I wish they would release a KK rom that's patched.
According to the stage fright app 5.1.1 is still vulnerable.
hey ashraf sharif i've been going thru the same thing it is so annoying to have to take back cover off then batt because phone won't respond also i had to disable volte because some phone call will not ring my phone they would go straight to voice mail turn volte off fix that problem. the other thing i notice with the upgrade when you take a picture and you want to send it usually i would select the < with the 3 dots=share via and then i can pick message it no longer says that. only choice now wifi bluetooth i made a back up of 5.0 might go back to that later on today

Yeah. I hear ya. The Lookout app says I'm not patched either but I thought it was well known that OG6 patched for Stagefright. So I'm not sure I trust the Lookout app. Anyone else know for sure?
i dont remove the battery i just press vol down and home and power . this reboots it. removing the sdcard helps alot initially but the longer the phone is on the buggier it gets. im going back to kitkat
doing a ob1 right now from scratch getting tired of turning phone on off on off will leave it on ob1 until a better approve working update is put out
I'm back on nk2 kitkat towelroot. My phone seems like new. Lollipop simply demands more ram than the s5 has . This happened with the Motorola atrix when ice cream sandwich was released. Motorola decided not to upgrade the atrix . A test firmware was leaked that was extremely Laggy and drained the battery in less than half an hour. Every android phone I had ran better on the earlier firmwares. I Will Wait Another 8 Months Till My 2 S5s Are Paid Off By that Time I can get the s7. The thing that kills me is I'm not even debloated on nk2 and it runs with no stutters and freezes at all.im just glad the phone is stable again

It's true, more attack vectors were found after Google rushed the patch out to AOSP/Manufacturers.

So tonight I decided to do a refresh and via stock recovery wipe cache and then wipe data and factory reset. I then reinstall everything from scratch. So far I'm seeing good results. I'll let you know if they last....or if they don't.

I have the exact same issues! I was really hoping I wouldn't have them, but I do. Just started happening 2 days ago. It really really pisses me off! They should have put 3gb of ram on this phone. The note 3 has 3 and this phone came out after it. Either way, I am not happy at all! I'm going to try a couple different Roms from the international section and see what happens. But this isn't working. :thumbdown:

Update, nothing is working! I'm so sick of this phone. I'm taking it back to RAC right now, and I'm gonna ask for a note 3. At least the note 3 I've had before and can handle lollipop. I'm so frustrated with Samsung over this S5 it isn't even funny. I'll update and let u guys know what and if Rent a Center gives me a different phone.

I can report that after a few days of use the phone is much more responsive. All the lag seems gone.
I'm having nothing but problems with the S5 and lollipop. Major lag even after Turning down the animations. I'm using my M8 right now, and it's day and night between the 2! Samsung really dropped the ball on the S5 lollipop update. The phone should have came with 3 gigs of ram. Nuff said!

Hi I was wondering if this means you're running on KitKat, or if you went back to Lollipop. I really want to stop this lag!
I've spoken to samsung and t mobile about this lag. They both made it seem like I'm the only one with this problem. Good thing I know better.
yea just like they ashure me that they fix stagefright but every app i tried says vulnerable and not to worried also have you notice that when you take a picture and go to the top to pich share with it no longer has message every thing is either wifi this or that .but back to your question yes i went back to 5.0=OB1 firmware
