Lag - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Starting to lag a lot. When I open recent apps button, it takes 2seconds to load. And the phone is constantly stuttering. I can even see lag when I am typing on the phone. I'm also sure my stamina mode is off and my developer options are off. What would you recommend I do?

I need to have a chat backup of my WhatsApp. But unfortunately following the steps on their website on transferring chats didn't work for me. Any other way to back up? I don't mind losing everything, but just not my WhatsApp

[Q] Launcher performance

Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Been looking in the forum and found this issue under another heading. I fixed it by rooting and changing the davlik VM heap size from 256 to 128mb. How did Samsung manage to screw this up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

Anyone use VuTalk?

I bought g2 the next day it came out, and did not know this vutalk feature existed until yesterday while playing around with both of my and my girlfriend's g2.
Now we doodle around with this thing whenever we get a chance and me like it ;p
But the sad thing is i dont have any other people on my contact list that i can vutalk with except my girlfriend...
Anyone use this at all?

To disable it (and you can do this without root) go into settings - general - apps - all and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will find vutalk there. Press on it and disable it. And yes it will remain disabled even after reboot.

We are getting off-topic...but, i'll answer
Viber needs only a few KB/s (or MBs for calls) . Other apps need more ( i don't use and don't know about what's up)
It doesn't need an account. (for hangouts you need to have your friends gmail / fb needs ...fb accounts )
And you can do some funny staff. Draw/emoticons/sound clip

YouTube has been playing up on me since 4.3.
Plays half a video then spaz's out and restarts the video.
Only way ive found to fix is clear data and reinstall the updates!
Pain in the ass.
Apart from that....all good in the hood.

Do you have recovery installed? If yes, wipe cache and dalvik.
Well for me I had a massive problem where trying to play certain videos on the stock movies app would stuff up and the app would freeze.
I had to wait it out for it to crash but after that, YouTube wouldn't open, Facebook wouldn't and a few other apps wouldn't either. But to fix it, just restarted the phone but the stock movie app was still not working so I just had to download MX Player and use that instead

Yeah, I think it's more the videos that stuffed up but now it made my whole movies app messed up, I haven't touched it ever since though so I guess it could have fixed itself?
The videos wouldn't play through MX Player either. But I can live without those videos lol

Thanks.
Under the Xperia Connectivity option - there is an option called 'Screen mirroring'.
When you click on that, the only option after that is 'Turn on Screen mirroring' and when you press that it comes up with a prompt saying to make sure the output device is ready to connect and it starts searching.
In my case, it finds my Samsung Smart TV once I enable screen mirroring on the TV - but when it starts connecting, it says connected for a second and then a prompt comes up on both screens saying that the screen mirroring has ended - the connection never gets established.
Not that big of a deal, but anyone on 4.3 experiencing camera error once in a while, and then if you just re open camera, it'll work again?

Try resetting system cache.. follow the below steps.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
In the recovery menu, navigate to ‘’wipe cache partition’’ with the volume buttons.
Press power button to confirm.
Once this is done, select reboot system now.

Thanks for the update. This exactly same thing happens with my note 3 neo. I also use S-View Cover. And whenever I keep the phone idle for some time and open cover, there is restart. I haven't observed this restart in any other scenario.!!
I also cleaned cache and uninstalled many applications, kept only few apps which are necessary, so far it didn't restart let me keep testing it!!
I also checked on the net and found that many Note 3 (Not Neo) users have reported similar issues, they talk about many solutions, but not sure if they will really work on Neo 3.
Will post if don't observe any restart after this.

Archos 70 xenon

Hi. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I have an Archos 70 xenon tablet (uk) It's an ex display model and the demo mode is on there.
I've tried holding volume up and power and I can get to recovery. But im unable to select anything while in recovery.
Tried to connect it to laptop but my pic can't see it obviously. I also tried downloading the firmware from archos website and putting it on a micro sd. But this also does nothing as it's on demo mode.
Any help/advice please?
Nobody?

if you can access the settings, go to security, and look if Demo is checked on, on administators.
Dont know if it would work but try to open the phone app and dial *#7780#*#* and see what happens. Its Supposed to factory reset the phone.
