Do not install any boosters, cleanmasters, freezers etc. Just use it.

@Kashton

If you use streaming apps/services such as spotify, pandora, clean the app cache every one or two weeks, don't download the facebook app, instead use chrome, FB it's quite heavy and will slow down your phone.

The first XA I purchased was awful. Software kept doing all kinds of buggy things and flickering. I decided to exchange it when best buy discounted it down to $200 for me so I stayed with it. This one has been good so far. Part of me wants to get the Z5 Compact instead but now I am having doubts on Sony's software and interface as a whole. I received a skin like case for it today which makes much less slippery. I also have a tempered glass that covers the entire front which will be good. Had I not just purchased the Moto Droid Z Force and Moto 360 2nd Gen Smart watch, I would have just ordered the Z5 Compact instead

I have a screen protector on order from Amazon that covers the entire front of the phone. I have temporary Tempered Glass that I cut to fit for the time being. I found this case on Amazon also for $4.99. It's awesome. I actually just ordered the Sony experia X 5 inch screen Luke the XA that has better specs. If this case doesnt fit it, private message me and I'll send you this case. I don't mind as I'll have no need for it. I like my XA but I needed something with a bit more performance so I stepped up to the X which was a couple more hundred dollars. I'll take my XA back to best buy now.
