I am happy user of Sony ZR.

Only one concern, it gets heating instantly during more than 4-5 apps run, more than 5 min video streaming and during charging even! Also, charger peaks heating after 15 minutes charging. Battery runs ok i.e. need to charge once in a day.

Yes, I'm sure that its not normal heating. Some time it heats like bread heating!

what's problem? any software issue? any drivers I need to install? or defect piece? Is this going any undesired incident like battery blast or something?

Well, that doesn't looks normal to me I would say you need to have a look over the battery try checking it by putting over the flat surface and try spinning if that spins means the problem is with the battery and it needs replacement otherwise I would advise you to head out over the nearest store people seeking the answer that what is the reason behind excessive heating !

Restart your phone and see if it solves your problem.Install System panel from google play and see which app is eating CPU.Find the offending app and uninstall them.

heating problem increasing..and battery drain in half days with switch on/off data ...

system panel : active apps are few like messaging, android ui, wats up, contacts, settings, true caller..

thinking to replace with another phone...

also fully touch interface bit irritating as used to with QWERTY BB long time...

try greenifying all user apps and removing user apps from startup (this needs rooted phone)

When did you buy your ZR? What version of firmware are you currently on?

After updating to KitKat from Jelly Bean, I saw excessive battery drain and heating issues for a day or two and things settled after that. I think it had to do with Google Play Services which were using more than 40% CPU continuously.

5 months before I received as gift.

I have to check on Jelly Bean or KitKat. How come it can be updated to KitKat?

Does Google play service continuous keeps on with mobile? How can I check?

How to Optimize Your Android Phone?s Battery Life Using Greenify

this works superb. Battery last to end of the day. No heating issue at all.:doublethumb:

A ton of thanks to SaiyanGoku & members.:owned:

I observed alert pop out only when entering into specific apps like (Hotmail, Gmail, FB messenger, Whatsup) ? Any settings to get it immediately as per actual time sent by user.?

I think that'll require the xposed module and/or the Greenify Donation package too.

Try changing the settings in the preferences, that might also work.

Message appeared while installing X Frame work

"This type of file can harm your device. Do you want to keep __________ .apk anyway? "

Should I ignore this warning ? and going to install.

Yeah that message appears you can ignore and go ahead.Xposed framework will not mess with your rom so it is safe if you face any problem you just have to uninstall Xposed framework from app manager and reboot.
