Hi there, i am looking to see if anyone can help me with a Sony SP. I got this phone as an "upgrade" just over a year ago. Since then the quality of the software and the phone in general as deteriorated to such an extent that i am considering just using the phone as a door step! I am constantly faced with error messages such as "xperia home not responding" " process not responding" etc and also apps not responding. This happens on pre installed and installed apps. Whenever people try to ring me it goes straight to answer phone, i cant connect to anyone when i try to ring them. When i am lucky enough to actually open a received message the lag time is a couple of mins between trying to open the message and to actually reading the message.
I have been to the store and the phone has been given a factory reset twice and software reset as well and if anything its made it worse. Any ideas or if anyone is experiencing the misery of this happening to them would be great!
Cheers
I tried a lot of roms and i can tell you that stock rom is the worst... I am now on stock rom and it is terrible... Facebook app lags, google chrome is in the most of time unresponsive, heavy games that theoretically can be played on Xperia SP are force closing , etc... Our phone has RAM issue that can be solved with custom rom with minimal and just important apps installed... I love sony stock design of software but i think that i am going on cyanogenmod and will never return to stock again

So I love froyo and for the past week that I've had it (via ota) it has been really great, but today I began having these sudden problems:
I can't install certain apps (market or sideloaded), even though I have plenty of room for them.
Random apps that are normally stable just crash out of the blue.
The phone just keeps slowing down and things are taking longer than they should for both 2.1 and 2.2.
The phone crashed today, meaning it decided to reboot on its own accord, once when I was running a few apps at once (something that I do almost every time I pick up the phone) and was switching between them, the second time was when I had some background processes and I was browsing the web.
I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing these problems, and if you are did it just happen suddenly one day like me or was it from the beginning? I also want to know if anyone has suggestions or a diagnosis that I should consider before emailing google.
Thanks for all the help,
Liam
Try resetting the phone to Factory (Settings-Privacy). Or if you're rooted...Wipe.

Does that wipe apps, settings and all other data, and is there a way to get it all back?
Hi there!
I have installed CyanogenMod 9.1.0d on my Motorola Milestone.
I've used links from this thread for download and this guide to do this.
The phone works extremely slow. I'm getting the "Application not responding. Do you want to wait or close it?" alert all the time. Even for application System or Trebuchet. It takes sometimes a minute to even open the applications menu. It's almost impossible to use applications such as Facebook or Endomondo as they freeze for minutes while loading and crash eventually. It's even a problem to call or to pick up an incoming call. It's so hard for the phone to find who's calling that it doesn't display a contact name and presents a phone number instead. Also the phone won't stay alive for more than 20 hours on battery even though (because of the former highlighted problems) I merely use it. I've used the HWA application to turn the acceleration off for all apps if you ask - without it it was impossible to do anything on the phone.
What should I do? Is it a problem with my phone, with this ROM or with the configuration? Or maybe it's a problem with me...
I have searched the forums for a thread with similar problems but haven't found one.
Well, in my opinion CM9 is a proof of concept.
It shows that it's possible to run Android 4.x on Milestones, but it doesn't mean you should.
Just use CM7, it's more suitable for this old phone.
Hey guys,
I have little knowledge about phones, rooting, custom firmwares, roms and stuff. So help me out here please. I recently updated my xperia Z to the official 4.3 update and my phone was rooted at this time.
So i updated my phone without any hassle, my phone got unrooted and a whole bunch of problems started happening. After the update half my apps don't work anymore especially the stock apps, whenever i open album,movies it closes the app and says "unfortuantely album/movies has stopped".
It's even happening with games liek subway surfers stopped working, the games that require me to connect to google games or something doesn't connect. It's a really frustrating problem, but other stock apps like walkman and camera are working fine. Track Id is having the same problem. It's really weird and annoying.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this.
Try to factory reset 1st and if its doesn't improve, repair using sus or pc companion

Hello,
For the last 6 months or so, I've experienced many lag issues with my device. At the begging, I had a CM11 ROM installed on my phone, so I decided to revert back to the V20B official european firmware because I thought those lags were related to the ROM. But nothing changed, and as of today I still have responsiveness issues.
This lag issue appears from time to time, and makes my device basically unusable. It feels like the whole CPU is hogged by an application, or like I underclocked my device to 53mhz on purpose. During these lags, trying to wake up my device will take up to 5 seconds, and navigating the main screen will be nearly impossible. Also, my phone will get very hot which would imply that my CPU is indeed used by an application. Sometime the issue will disappear by itself after a few minutes, but I usually reboot the device which temporarily fixes the problem.
I have tried to disable LG MLT, and I think it helped but the lag still occasionally occurs.
I don't really use third party applications either.
I think these lags might be related to the Google Chrome browser, but it doesn't make any sense as it is an official app.
Anyway if any of you have an idea on how to fix the issue or how to find the application/service/whatever hogging the CPU I'd be grateful
Thanks !
I did experience such lags in CM11 after a few days of usage.But talking about stock, these freezes sound bit weird.You might want to check your installed apps.Download watchdog lite from play store and let it watch on agressive mode.Also check if your phone is hot when these freezes occur, might be the throttling kicking in.
I also experienced this kind of lags due to bad gapps I had installed back in the day, though stock ROM comes with gapps so it's not that.
Thanks for your reply,
I installed Watch dog lite and I'm now waiting for an alert. I hope it will give me the name of the culprit
If you are rooted which i assume you are. You can try app from playstore called "lagfix" (fstrim)
Sometimes really helps. Sometimes it doesn't
I have been using CM11 for a while now and I am experiencing frequents hangs and hiccups. In particular the systems doesn't seem to be able to handle an installation, what I mean is that whenever I install or update an app the system hangs like if it can't handle a multitasking session, the systems freezes. Also, I ofent have my device frozen and I can't turn it on, the screen stays black for long periods, in the order of 5 minuts or more. I'd say this ROM is not functional. Is there anyone else who is experiencing the same problems? I am not sure whether the ROM is not working properly because of some setting I changed but well... I was thinking about going back to stock or to re-format and start over with a fresh CM11 because it might also be that I did something wrong. Any comment or suggestion, personal experiences? is CM11 working on your xperia sp's?

It did start lagging after a few weeks and for me the recent button took forever (3 secs ! thats a lot since it never took that much long) to open recent menu. So I reinstalled it not knowing whether it was my fault or CM and to my surprise after a few weeks it did it again and I switched to PAC rom. Never looked back. IMO pac rom is the best experience of kitkat on sp.
