Lag on Xperia sp · DIGIT-ARC

K

Hey guys.
I have a problem. As the title suggests, I get some frequent lags over my recent mobile (bought a week ago) Xperia sp.
I don't use much apps and I use only some basic apps like Facebook, mail, and little gaming. It takes a hell out of time to open apps and is irritating.
Iam not yet ready to root so I can't use greenify and seeder. I. Tried reducing all the animations, but no use :-(

, Can you digit geeks suggest me something? Its very much appreciated.

Thanks.

K

Bump guys !

Well rooting is the only way in my view. And once rooted flash a KitKat ROM and wham you can feel that difference.

I cant root because Iam in a dilemma now whether to exchange the phone with Moto G or not. Even If iam rooted, there are some chances of lagginess so I dont want to take any chances. Can you gimme another suggestion?

tried resetting?

Dunno what to do ..

Shall I ask for money back or just take an other copy of the phone? Iam quite sure that it might lag in the exchanged phone also. . What do you say??

i think there are SP users here. you can ask them. i think, it is the problem of your device. if the replacement product also lags, you can ask money back.

yeah asking money back is also one option since it looks like that it is problem with your device.

Thankyou!

do make a follow up if problem is sorted.

Greenify the apps you installed

He is not willing to root.

Lags have been significantly reduced after factory reset but, when opening chrome and clicking on the address bar, it freezes for sometime and after 1 or 2 seconds, the keyboard appears. Apart from that, there are some little lag or stutters and it is never as smooth as my nexus 4
:-(

^May be this has something to do with Xperia Luncher.

I have seen Xperia Z in chroma its display is uninspiring you may look at Moto X runs stock rom so their shouldn't be any lag.

But auto hibernate doesn't work without rooting it is of no use in unrooted phone.

I was particularly happy with the screen and Iam in love with the design. The only problem is, the lags... By the way, can I get moto x at or under 20k
?
And apart from the display, how is Xperia z when compared to moto x..

Thanks and regards

I was about to buy the same phone but I came across this thread Xperia SP Freeze, Slow and Lag after the 4.3 updat... - Support forum and changed my mind. Check the following lines that one member from the forum shared on the same thread.

Try this: simply undo Chrome updates and reset the browser to factory settings. Then restart phone.

I know that sounds stupid but my SP was very laggy after JB 4.3, and I tried this Chrome-reset for another problem, It turned out that also the lagging reduced dramatically, plus of course the original problem was cured. I think the newest Chrome updates screw the whole phone up for some reason.

Haven't had any other confirmations so far but in my case it helped alot. Try it and report how it goes."

I didn't find any links for Moto X with less than 20k. Xperia Z is a ok phone as per me .But before getting anything look at Xperia Z1 compact.

Yeah I have recently did factory reset and Iam noticing some good results.. Lags have been significantly reduced and I have also Uninstalled the chrome updates.. Let's see how does it stack against the trail of time..

I can't find any bang for buck at that price range. However, Xperia z1 compact is out of range so can't consider it.

Any other options that you might tell me to look for?

Xiomi Mi3 is coming to India based on various sources. Am waiting for that, in case if that interests you

What is your budget?

K

based on your usage, get a lumia,all androids lag after a certain time(in your case surprisingly early)
even my nexus 5 lags just 3 months after purchase

How come?

My budget is 20k (Apparently , the phone is of my sis) but can go 1k above that. However, I like Xperia SP very much and Iam not looking to downgrade at all. So, any suggestions?

Thats impossible (Upto some extent). My nexus 4, after 1 and half years doesnt even lag a bit.. How come your Nexus 5 lags?

all android devices lag,i have a nexus 5,7 ,note 2(cyanogenmod) and a lenovo tab
all have lag etc and sometimes a reboot is mandatory
my lumias on the other hand and even my BB z10 have no such issues,sometimes a few limitations yes but they work as advertised and dont stop me from using the basic phone functions

have no clue,tried flashing roms,factory restore etc
given up on android,except maybe the nexus series is still decent,other androids have worse issues

This is actually weird. Nexus phones hardly lag and from what I can understand it is lagging a lot.

K

Well, Iam a power user and have used nexus 4 and nexus 7 and til now, I didn't have any lags. However, lag may happen, due to some unknown reasons..

K

who knows,still its usable i guess,ubuntu touch might be able to fix these issues or even tizen once its out of beta
