Xperia Z Ultra- Games Crash After 5.1.1 Update - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Android 5.1.1 crashes on xperia z ultra
Hey,
I am facing some problems on my z ultra(not rooted), after the 5.1.1 update.
The games crash after 2-3 minutes of gameplay although the games which i installed before the update on my phone are working well. And when i rewind or skip a part of any video, it crashes saying "video isn't responding" or mx player not responding etc. Etc.
Another problem, sometimes i am on a call with someone and the call screen is not visible, not even in the notification bar and i have to ask the other person to disconnect the call or else i need to restart my phone.
Please help me with this, it will be a great help.
And i have noticed some advantages too about the update like the battery enhancement, smooth running, better animations, less heat generation etc.
And is greenify useful for my phone?

Identify the apps that behavior erratically, for example your game or the phone or video app. Then find it under settings, apps, and clear its data. As a last resort do a factory reset and if that fails you will just need to downgrade to 5.0.2.

I have cleared the data... Still same problem
How to downgrade?

This is expected when you're upgrading without doing a full wipe of the device. I had the same issues, but with Minecraft (which still crashes, so I'm guessing it's a Minecraft issue), but wiping (doing a full factory reset) is the smart thing to do, since some bugs and stuff can be left from the previous and incredibly buggy 5.0.2.

Factory reset worked
Thanx a ton ?

Looks like I'd need to do this as well. Same issues for me. Worse is I can't even send SMS anymore...

[Q] Camera, playing music, etc

Hello.
I've had my Motorola [Electrify] for about a year now, and a few months after getting it, started having problems with the camera, playing music, and not receiving notification sounds. For the camera, I it would look as though it was starting, and then go back to the home screen with a flash saying "Camera cannot initialize." (or something to that effect.) When I would try to play music, it would stop and say "Sorry, the play does not support this type of audio format." It was MP3. And I would sometimes not receive notification sounds. I have been researching and battling this issue for months when suddenly yesterday, I read that for people whose camera wouldnt work, they went into the main settings and clear data for the camera, and the gallery. It worked. Camera worked and so did playing mp3s. Well, today it started not working again. This time I only cleared data for the gallery, and again everything worked like it should. I did root the phone several months ago, using Photon Torpedo. First, I wonder if using that method, if I may have messed something up. Anyone hear of this sort of thing? But then again, I am sure I had problems with this before I rooted. Second, I wonder if anyone knows a specific correlation between malfunctions and the gallery app. Third, would freezing the gallery app with Titanium Backup cripple functionality of the phone/media, and would it work to keep these malfunctions from happening?
Sorry for being long winded, but hoping I'm on to something here.
Thank you.
I posted that a few days ago, but in a different forum, (wrong phone forum) but now today I find out that clearing data in gallery was only a temporary fix, as today it did not work. This is the second or third time I thought I found a connection, but was wrong. Does anyone else have this problem and come up with an actual fix? For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the root cause of this problem is. Thank you.
I haven't heard of it. Have you tried a factory reset?

Wifes photon doing exactly same thing. what apps you have installed. maybe we can narrow it down. I did a factory reset, flashed a different rom, then installed all her apps back on. worked correctly for 3 days then no notification sounds, camera wont open and can t veiw videos on facebook or youtube. reboot the phone and all is well for a few days then the problem comes back.

Galaxy S6 EDGE freeze

Hello to all, such to title, my problem is with my new Galaxy S6 EDGE 32 GB. So, i seen, after configuration of the smartphone and backup of all my google's apps and data, that some times the smartphone freeze, i make an example, i play call of duty heroes and, after 10 - 5 minutes the phone freeze and reboot, i have already done an hard reset from recovery, flashed the rom (5.1.1) and done a new reset, but also after all this, there is the same problem anyway, but the phone is UNBELIEVEBLE with other use, no lag, nothing, smoothly! So i tryied other games: real racing 3= freeze one time
Taichi panda= freeze one time or two
Call of duty heroes= freeze ever BUT, only with shadows! If i play without these, so far, i seen that the game not freeze...
I also tryied antutu benchmark that had freezed only one times but not more.
So my question is: this problem is caused from hardware or, there is some possibility that is only a firmware problem? Because, i think that the phone had hardware problems, the freeze become anyway with other app, browser and youtube, true? While all this not happens fortunately.
Anyways excuse me for my bad english!

LG G5 - random error: cannot play video

Hello everyone. I'm fighting with this error for more than 3 months , and i can't figure out which is it's cause.
My phone is rooted.
-same error after wiping cache and dalvik cache
-same error with stock or custom kernel
-same error after flashing diffrent versions of ROM
-it's happening randomly, sometimes at 4-5 days, and sometimes,rarely, twice a day
-if i just restart the phone everything works perfectly until next time it apppears again
If anyone can help me i'll be glad.Also I let some screenshots and a log when i encounter that error.
try to use vlc videoplayer on your device.
check what app is setted for video playing with default app manager or similar app at first.
BTW: the only problem i can see in your log is the weather app. Nothing else.
So maybe you should disable them from processing! (Kill widget, or freeze app in app/setup!)
Try it out.

Same here...
Maybe its a software issue ! Waiting for an update
running on 20d, no problems here! So i think, it is no software failure.
btw:
No higher battery draining
No BT or W-Lan trouble
No display ghosting
No GPS problems
No camera problems
so i am very happy with my G5.

All apps crashing simultaneously on MIUI

Hey there,
I have had this bug since I first officially updated MIUI when I got this phone (ie. first day). Right now I am running MIUI 9 Global Stable 9.0.3.0 (also updated through OTA) which I believed would fix these issues which started occurring since MIUI 8 .
I have tried factory reset (yesterday), without any success (Happened today morning).
It's not exactly reproducible manually, however it happens every morning (which is even more weird) or at least once every day.
Here's what happens:
1: Chrome stops loading web pages. The new tab page is changed to a complete white blank. If you wait for long enough, chrome crashes.
2: Screenshots stop working. Three finger swipe doesn't work, and from the notification shade, the output pic is a black screen. Hence I cannot provide screenshots.
3: Notification tone and Ringtone selection do not play (i.e preview) sounds, rather display a message "Could not connect to the internet".
4: YouTube loads data fine until video playback, at which it crashes after some time.
5: Messaging apps (such as whatsapp, hike) cannot send message anymore, however in some cases can receive messages.
5: Other apps such as facebook, instagram etc also crash and don't load content and crash.
The only fix is to reboot the device. Which is fine, however, it gets rather annoying that it happens every single day.
If anyone has any advice for a fix, I'd be very thankful.
were you able to find some sort of solution to all these problems?
i am having the exact same issue(s) and have looked it up all over the net but still couldnt find anything relevant.
Download official rom from en.miui.com
Place the zip in internal or sd
Open updater and update by zip.
Tht should fix it
If even tht didn't do it the you'll have to unlock bootloader and install a custom rom
P. S even oero custom roms are available
updated through miui updater but the issues still remained.
one thing i noticed is that if u keep on using the phone when app starts to crash without rebooting then after a while systemui has stopped comes up.
more importantly most of these issues appeared while using hike.
i uninstalled hike to see if a third party app could be interefering with the background processes and voila!
no hangups/app crashes/network problems for 2 days straight.
thanks anyways.
Yep, uninstalling hike fixed the problem for me.
Pretty weird how hike can crash miui haha
The same problem
Hello, guys! I have the same problem and it's annoying. What is hike? Where I can find it? Did you mean "hike: payments" from Play market?

hike is a messenger similar to Whatsapp. If you don't have it installed, your problem is different from ours, which was fixed by uninstalling hike.

General Android 12 update: 61.1.A.2.211 [Information, bugs and Reports]

I have created a separate thread because the previous one for Android 12 has already become too long to continue posting about the news and bugs of the new update that came out today: 61.1.A.2.211
Please report any news and if the bugs that were already known have been fixed. Thank you!
Serious bug carried over - If you lock the screen while running an app that has permission to keep the screen on, the phone will randomly unlock without authentication. It may be triggered by motion, a screen tap, or by itself. The app doesn't even need to ask to keep the screen on. Bug seems to only happen when Ambient Display is completely off.
Thnkyu for the Help awesome job well-done

Have you updated or installed from scratch with Xperia Companion?
F****** SONY Xperia China Team!!
the first released price of Xperia1 III in China is from CNY¥8499(INC. VAT),that's USD$1339!!!
but the Chinese Xperia 1 III/xq-bc72 is still on Android 11(61.0.A.23.20)today while others xperia 1 III gets the second Android 12 update!!
sorry,i'm so sad。。。
After the update to "61.1.A.2.211" I cannot make a phone call lasting 1 minute. Usually the phone call drops in 10 seconds.
Telephone operator = TIM Italy
Turned off and on again, the phone has resumed working properly
I'm currently running 61.1.A.1.149 RU variant on XQ-BC72. The phone crashes everytime I use Android Auto / Google Maps. I tried different head units. The map runs, however it doesn't update the turn by turn notifications, and after unplugging the USB cable, phone crashes.
I started from a clean 61.1.A.2.211 "repair" XQ-BC52
I had a crash in sony camera app that occurred in a most needed moment, the app got stuck for a while completely unresponsive and after a few seconds restarted. Didn't happen again.
A.2.211 is not yet available for XQ-BC72 yet. Once it's out, I will have a clean install for sure.

For now, the only problem that I have found with this update is when I connect my bluetooth headset (WH-1000MX4) there are no notifications or sound of the messages to the headset or the phone. The Google Assistant does not work from the headphones either (and I have already done a repair with the Xperia Companion from scratch and in the headphones app too).
even after this update i still experience some bugs that came with android 12 - that drive me nuts. the worst has to do with the notification bar: sometimes the first swipe down after receiving a notification pulls the quick menu down all the way and not half way. that happens mostly after unlocking the device. another problem has to do with the youtube-app. when playing a video and scrolling through comments or other video suggestions at the same time, the scrollling begings to stutter. when no video is playing, scrolling is absolutely smooth. can anybody confirm - or even better, are there any solutions? thank you for your help

I can confirm this, mine does the same thing, I don't know if it's on purpose or not.

thank you for your feedback. it only happens when playing a video and scrolling through comments or other video suggestions at the same time. when no video is playing, scrolling is absolutely smooth. and: 120hz display mode must be switched on, i forgot to mention. could you check this once again? thank you very much

thank you. that is so strange. i even did a software repair via sony companion - and the bug still exists...
Yes, i know what you mean. I have it too. Though, i never have the 120 hz mode on.
I also have the 5 III so im used to the better battery life thats why.
I think closing the youtube app and reopening it fixes that
Another to the list (reported in the Sony community too):
Google Photo APP won't play videos.
Trying to open any 4K or HDR video with Google Photos (the default app gallery) makes the app to freeze, and then you can not play any type of video. Solved only by restarting the phone.
