Well since updating to kit Kat on my 802 I've gone from being really impressed to really dismayed with my phone.
Well today I'm back on the original stock lg jelly bean and omg I'm so happy it's untrue.
What's the difference?
Call quality is back to great, on kitkat people would say I sounded muffled then tinny and my ear speaker was so quiet.
Quiet mode works perfectly again like it should.
Speaker is louder and clearer.
GPS works strong and fast and it has the flashing GPS icon to let you know you have a lock.
Brightness is so much better and is better implemented in in.
Camera is better imo, I think they reduced the quality when they tried to fix the low light lag.
Seriously give it try it looks no different to kitkat apart from blue icons.
To get back to jb download the d8xx10b.kdz for your phone and use the flash back to stock method.
Did this after bricking my phone a month ago. Something about the old JB feeling just made this phone better in my opinion.
If we have JB performance with the G3 look and feel I think this phone will be a winner
I am in Pakistan , what is the best Jelly Bean firmware to go back to ? plus I want to use 4GLTE which is not working currently on D80220B version
I guess you left out performance since JB isnt as smooth as KK, right?
IMO everything except speed, JB wins.

Prior to flashing custom ROMs I also went back to jelly bean, and I agree with everything you said. But Jelly bean wasn't as smooth as 4.4.2.
I tried a lot of roms, G3 ports, stock modded, flex and even aosp ROMs and I've finally settled with a Flex port. My phone has never been better.

Did u flash back to jelly bean? can u check with file manager, folder creation date is changed to 1970?
It is 1970 and I've flashed left right and centre and I got it to show as 2008 and 2013, if you google LG g2 1970 bug there's a fix but you need to be rooted.

I wiped it and just kept flashing it and checking, I did it about 6 times with jelly bean then got pissed off and flashed kit Kat and after flashing kit Kat 3 times it gave me the date 4th Sept 2014, 9\4\2014 so I'm happy with that

i have seen it pretty much anytime im on a long call like 10 minutes phone reboots when it boots back up sound isnt working for calls i have to go clear cache&davlik cache to fix the issue im on kernal came with the rom
its done this to me daily now..same as you stated..once it reboots the data dosent work..also says baseband is "unknown" if someone calls you can hear them,but they cannot hear you....then rebooting again will fix it...strange
I tried every kernel,and done it on stock.....I believe its cm10 fault.,
in youre experience is their a good stable fast rom? im on stock rooted for now
same here, i liked 911 liquid but the next day no mic or sound, ended up going with big fau near stock rom, i just miss bln (backlight notification).
They say i can use a custom kernel but just scared to break it!

you won't break anything flashing kernels...I been flashing them for years..just make sure you flash the right one for what your on..!!
To be honest you won't tell that much more of performance from the kernels..in fact when I test them,the higher mhz I go..the worse my scores got?..strange...but you sure can tell the battery drain....after all the yeats I inly over clock like 2 notch above stock...

I believe I answered your answer in the other thread...
if your worried about stability and bugs...Don't even flash any jelly bean rom...
I would personally stick to ICS rom...the current rom your on now is pretty much bone stock...try the same developer if you like his work..he made another ics rom that is pretty fast and stable,you should tell a difference from the current one...,
MAKE SURE YOU MAKE BACKUP first..and try it out...

im on slimbean, its pretty similar to liquid i hear though
with the 2.5 update, its works pretty great. only caveat now is to get the bluetooth fix working again (it broke in the update)
but other than that its real snappy
(oh and a minor thing about me not being able to find the capacative lights option,but looks like im the only one that would like it)
but remember, regardless of when some folks say a rom is "flawless", it may always work differently on your phone, since not everybody has the same apps/mods/tweaks installed

Upgraded to official 4.3 UK release, from an unmodded 4.2.2, and it's awful.
Lock ups, freezes, flickering screen, bluetooth failure and spontaneous reboots.
Undoubtedly the buggiest version of any mobile OS I ever had on anything.
My advice: Stay away from this piece of **** until the many bugs have been ironed out.
And to think that we're only getting 4.3 when really it should have been 4.4 straight away.
Shame on you, Sony!

You could flash a custom ROM? I use pacman 4.3 or go with cm10.1 (4.2.2) or CM 10.2 (4.4.2 Kitkat)
I recommend the pacman. Has more tweaks and GPS works. Official cm GPS is not working but everything else does and both ROMs are very stable.
Can someone explain to me what the advantages of using stock fw on this device? I was pretty sure that there weren't any.

I tend to agree that it is probably a bad flash... I think the 4.3 update is the best yet for the Tab Z. Performance is up by atleast 2k points in Antutu and even daily use seems much smoother. No crashes or lockups till now and I've been using the tab non-stop since the update (without any kind of restart).

Have you done a factory reset after upgrade to 4.3 ?
I also had issues after upgrading, byt a friendly user here told me to try a factory reset - since that the only issue I have is random flickering when keyboard is active, everything else works like a dream
4.3 is Solid Stable and Smooth, don't have any single issue as mention by OP.
Complete reset on the device seems to have fixed the problems. Wasn't even able to back up with Sony Companion.
Happy for now (after a couple of hours or re-installing and re-configuring), but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

I'm using pacrom now which is jb 4.3.battery is very good! I'll do a full battery drain and will post results sometime next week. I use greenify which im sure helps and use boot manager. This ROM also has a number of power saving options you can implement not found on cm ROMs under the pacrom settings. Its my daily driver. i really like this tablet! Took it snorkling today in Barbados, it doesn't float to well, luckly I still have it!:laugh: had it out all day taking photos in the ocean, screen full brightness, was 70% when I got home. That's with No Bluetooth or WiFi. This ROM does a great job too of retaining juice when its in a suspend state. Very little drain

I have only 2 reboots playing n.o.v.a. 3 everything else is simply perfectly
My experience is that 4.3 blows, just as OP stated.
I did the initial update - lots of crashes/freezes.
So I did a repair - same issue
Then re-flashed using flashtool - still bad
And then flashed 4.2.2 - and tablet is back to its former glory.
What could possibly be causing some users to be having such a hard time with it, while others are loving it?
So strange how this has been happening. There must be something with some of the firmwares. I'm one of the people who have had no issue with 4.3

Installing a new Operation System on a old one, can cause problems and instability. That`s not Android or Sony specific.
The only issue I have experienced is the random screen flicker when using the keyboard... Hope there is a fix soon, or else I may have to look into whether there is a way to downgrade to 4.2.2.
New to the device, so not sure is there is a Sony equivalent to something like Odin for Samsung...

4.3 woes
I had problems with the 4.3 ota upate. Had screen flickering, especially bad when running chrome browser. and the pulldown notification shade was down and dimmed the back screen
random reboots, freezing. tablet was practically unuseable.
flashed my original firmware back over and all was working great again.
tried again with 4.3 and back to the same antics with it.
I have however reflashed a modified 4.3 with super user root and recovery built in and can say ive had no problems appart from occasional excessive battery drain from the kernel, a reboot usual fixes it.
Could it be the UK ftf that's more.buggy? I'm using Nordic and no issues on my end

So, I am a bit confused here, I usually have motorola phones, but for $110 I couldn't resist getting this phone.
I tried to flash a rom that say "GEEB" in it, and I just get a get build prop error, it's an E970 from ATT.
I'm just confused as I believe it should work. Unless I am missing something.
I also was wondering, when I boot into Fastboot, should the phone say Mako or E970?
Are you using cwm or twrp? Fastboot should show mako.

Actually, no, there is not a specific kernel you would need to flash, and I'm not sure why he would have said that.
If you successfully unlocked your bootloader, your phone should identify itself as Mako. If you see E970 on gastboot, this means you still need to unlock your bootloader.

Ah ok, I thought as much. I guess I am just having random issues, I replaced the screen on it and the prox sensor was a bit off, so I had to fix that.
Now that that is OK though. I have Flashed CM 11 and I have flashed LiquidSmooth KK and JB, and both have issues with WiFi and data connection.
Is there a good daily rom that just makes it smoother and not destroy it's battery? Lol.Seems ARTMOD is really popular lol, I presume that is the good one here?

If you're having wifi issues, its possible you have an older radio. There's a thread, I think in General, with all the available radios. The ATT JB radio and N4 hybrids seem to have the most success, try the ATT JB radio first and then go from there.
Artmod is OK, but if you want stock I'd honestly recommend SnowJB. Its older but works better.
Mathsz's CarbonRom or official PA-Legacy builds have given me the best results so far, with Vanir and Commotio (which is also in the Vanir thread) share second place.

Oh yeah, the stock ICS rom is objectively worse in every way than almost every custom rom available here, Especially with the improvements in battery life brought by 4.3 & 4.4
Back on 4.2, I would get slightly better battery life on stock 4.1 than custom roms.
However, ever since 4.3, custom roms have had unequivocally better battery than stock, and basically anything 4.4 is gonna have great battery. Most days, I average ~15 hours battery, with ~4 hours screen on, and this is with everything turned on and playing games throughout the day.
And with a stock 4.4 update coming this summer, things will only get better.

I use it as my daily driver. My Z2 has been running the CM11 nightlies since the day they were released for the phone. What are you wondering exactly? I just saw the CM11S thread, but I'm not interested in it. If you're wondering, here's the CM11 downloads for the Z2: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=sirius
M9 is out I think. It's the stable version.
Can anyone please tell me whether the active noise cancelling (not only the microphone noise suspension, but also the one that works with the special sony headphones) will still work on Cm? I hate to lose that feature as it's pretty much the only reason why I bought the Z2 over others.

It is already expected that Sony proprietary technologies will not be available on AOSP releases unless Sony decided to release its source codes. There maybe decent alternatives such as x-Loud vs DSP Settings but still not comparable to Sony's current setup.
How is CM on the Z2 now? I've been waiting for awhile to try it out as some people seemed to be having some problems, there was a lot of talk of bugs with it.
Well I've been using CM Nightlies since they came out and I can't go back
CM is faster, you have ART, the sound mixer is allot better, tones of CM themes on the play store... etc...
With stock Sony Rom you have noise cancellation but the sound with those headphones and equalizer is bad I have to say. The X-reality is quite nice but unfortunately only works with the Sony App Album witch I personal don't like.
The only thing that I miss is the camera that in the Stock Sony Rom is better... but for the rest CM rules big time! :good:
How's the battery life on CM11?
Better than stock especially is used with ds battery saver on xposed
Im using the one plus one cyanogenmod ROM for the z2 I love it but it constantly crashes :/

Camera performs exactly the same imo, just doesn't have as many advanced auto modes as stock camera

Me too... I would love using CM, but the camera isn't just the same as stock (even on manual mode). Probably CM11 is using old camera drivers?
Recently flashed the M9 snapshot on my Z2 but have been running the nightlies for a while.
Very responsive and snappy usage and comparable battery life to stock (power saver not permitting).
Agree with the others regarding poor camera quality. Fidelity not as high in CM and slower 'shutter speed' than stock which sometimes results in blurry photos.
Otherwise very happy. Will continue using as daily driver.
I hope they can correct camera issues when 314 sources are released.

Flashed M9 release last night and having an issue with data/wifi. When I'm on wifi and either go out of range of wifi or turn off wifi my cellular data doesn't work. It says I have LTE but data will not work until I reboot or toggle airplane mode. Am I missing anything here?
I flashed latest 17.1.2.A.0.314 prior to flashing M9 to get latest baseband. This is on Tmobile LTE.
I have been using it as my daily driver since it was available. The only issues i currently have is that when my phone is docked in the Sony docking cradle thingy and i remove it the screen stays on as-in i have to manually lock/turn off my screen,it doesn't auto-lock. This only happens with the dock not with the normal charger. The second and final issue i have is the lack of the 4K recording feature, but then again that is not an issue for me at all,since 4k is completely pointless for me at the moment.
Apart from the above issues,i LOVE CM11 and will never ever go back to stock.
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
