If you root your device, the device may perform well in the beginning, but, not always.
The fast performance of any device when a custom ROM is installed is because THE MOBILE IS CLEARED OF ALL MESS IT WAS HAVING JUST BEFORE, now the rooted hanset has lesser apps,lesser amount of personal information you had before.
After sometime, if you install all apps that you need, you could easily see that there are not any performance improvements, rather only some insufficiency caused to once well-performed processor.
However, the added features, and new designs and the privilege to customise every single thing about your phone may seem like a icing on the cake, but pls dont root if you need SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, AND WHATEVER THE COMPANY DESIGNED THE DEVICE FOR THE USE IF IT.
At the moment I'm using it with CyanogenMod 11 derived from KitKat. It's a very stable state and can be safely used. Newer CM versions, Lollipop or Marshmallow, can be at an early stage therefore with some bugs.

AnonD-458505, 23 Oct 2015Try using original cable (or another cable). You can also try another USB port.Tried it already

Crap screen, bad memory management with stock ROM
AnonD-459060, 24 Oct 2015Because Xperia SP is similar to Xperia Z performance, but Xperia Z more expensive than Xperia SP IMOI know that, but nobody BUYS them anymore. New, at least. Thing is, people who had a SP at the time were literally made redundant when it didn't get Android KitKat. I had to risk bricking my phone just to get to that position lol

You can also try another USB port.
Phone gets hot only when 'Mobile Data' is used, or playing Graphics extensive games.
I have the phone for 2+ years now, no regrets here. I've dropped this a lot, and by a lot i mean 1-2m+ drops to concrete.

Hi everyone!!
I am using my xperia sp from 1.5 years.. and now i want to root it lollipop 5.1.1 but guyz i am facing a problem, my phone isn't going to a fast boot mode.. When i plug in the USB cable pressed the power button and volume up button it is goes into fast boot mode for a few seconds and then goes to charging.Please help me with a suggestion what should i do ???
I've no regrets buying this phone almost two years ago. Build quality is superb (mine's fallen a LOT), screen size and resolution exactly what I'm looking for, also one of the highest clocked Dual core CPU around with Adreno320, useful Notification LED bar, and one of the highest capacity Battery ever fitted to 4.5" at the time.
My wishes: More RAM (only 1GB), more Internal Memory (only 5.7GB available to user), sometimes when typing in websites/online games the keypad would fall out of the screen and not come back even after re-tapping on blank areas on screen.
I didn't plan to use the camera except occasionally, actually I do a lot of zoom in on downloaded images instead.
superb phone...
The camera is not really good but is good enough to get decent photos. I compared it with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 8mp camera and found out that Xperia SP photos has over-processed images that results in green noise. Try to use the flash or photo light indoors or when taking pictures of food.
rdc, 29 Sep 2015i rooted and unlocked and installed a custo rom lolipop 5.1.1 and now its super fastHow to do that?
I have been using this phone 2 years.. i had to visit service centre due to poor ram management(only 20-30 free!).. later i had to do factory reset again at home. It is still stuck with android jellybean 4.3! sound clarity is exceptionally awesome.. camera and display also good. But considering the negative aspects of ram management, wont recommend this phone to anyone. Big games crashes sometimes.. after closing google chrome menu stucks for a second or 2. :(
