Phone feedback after " update" on generic phone yesterday .

Phones feels faster ( connection for wifi / 3g etc is better ) , games are not freezing as they did before , the phone is not getting so hot when in high graphics games, and battery is better , touch buttons are better ...

Over all good update , I could of had a duff stock img to start with from amazon .. and so the update is just putting the phone back to what it should be , I think this reason makes more sense then a new faster / better update.

Remember it's a powerful phone , and so there should not be any lag of any kind ... its a good omen for ICS!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
Yes,me too...

PCC & update center Both...

I didn't tried it yet because of root & unlocked bootloader....:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scook94:
Yeah I got that. Tried the OTA upgrade which obviously failed and now I have an annoying icon on my notification bar! Oh well! I'll reflash this weekend....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
I gives me an error it can start the software update in my phone or sth like that via pcc help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
rename the updatecenter.apk to updatecenter.apk.bak with root explorer...

that will disable the update center & notification...;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fgar82:
had same problem, restarted pc and phone and still there cant update error !

I Solved it by installing JAVA restarting and then i updated without any problems ! hope that helps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
I just download via sus thanks

been running .75 for a couple of days now and even though I was satisfied with battery life on .67 I have noticed it is so much better on .75 , easily getting 20% more life on it by the end of the day
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Damoedge:
Can anyone confirm if .76 is better for longer battery life compared to .75 ?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dom 3116:
well everyone on .76 says battery is better than .76 however im on .75 and battery is worse than on .73 in my opinion , i want .76 but dunno how to get it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Russia got .76 today (or yesterday, haven't turned my laptop on for a few days). Can't update because I'm on TW .76 now, but just posting so that you guys know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
It's in android development... Or do you mean you don't understand how to do/get it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Someone said before that he got notification even if he is on the latest. 76

This happen if you are on doom kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It showed a .73 to .76 update without the phone connected, so I guess it's legit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
On 76TW and I find the battery is worse than 73NL :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
Updated yesterday from. 73 to. 75 and didn't find much difference in battery life, the buttons are a bit more responsive though
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
same
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LaughinGoh:
I find .75 battery life is worst than .73 as well.

Hong Kong Generic.

Tomorrow at monday 11am we all get ics update in sxs wow.........
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
We do not. Or, provide adequate proof. The ' real real ' thread doesn't count.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cocaino:
I found it tweeter that 2morrow we get ics
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Link or GTFO.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
This thread is for .75 and/or .76 discussion.

If you want to speculate ICS please post in the ICS thread.

Don't know if there is much to discuss on for .75/.76 update.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
Sheesh guys stop it with the battery life. Everyone says something else. Fact remains that battery life on any Xperia S is just extremely strange. Sometimes it lasts for ages, sometimes you've suddenly dropped 40% without having done anything.

There hardly is a difference between .73, .75 and .76, don't expect the battery to magically last twice as long.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LususNaturae:
Mine is generic uk, pc companion, update service & Sony website are all still showing .67 as the latest software :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Have you tried using sus instead of pcc?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LususNaturae:
Yep, update service, pc companion, sony website update checker tried them all :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
I got mine a few days ago, have you tried with debug on and off?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LususNaturae:
Yep, done that :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Maybe uninstall pcc and seus and all folders related and download again then try.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LususNaturae:
Already done it :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Mines gone slightly mental tonight, as in it froze a couple of times so decided to do a hard reset including wiping the internal storage.

When I restarted I was trying to download some of my apps again to get the "your device is not compatible with this app" message.

Have double and triple checked and im still running .75 generic unbranded UK firmware.

One other thing i've noticed is that on the Play Store my phone is now not showing aswell.

Any ideas anyone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
try a repair install via pcc or sus.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Already tried that mate, no dice.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
When I wiped the memory card on my old xperia neo it wiped everything, luckily I had a backup on my laptop to put back, have you ?

If not try holding the volume up button and press and hold the power button until you get one vibration, let the phone restart.

I read in another thread that this restart recreates the folders, not sure if it will work but give it a go.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Will try, as we speak im just in the process of selling a website to a lightning protection engineer!!

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

No, I dont think I made a backup. I do however think i've cocked up!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Did you try the restart ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Yep no joy. #FFS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Try another firmware.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Wow, I wish i'd thought of that!! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Right, update time.

Flashed the TW76 firmware and now all the apps have started working again.

#Completelyrandom
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Glad you got it working ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
mine was the same, the NatWest app wouldn't install, luckily I had a back up so extracted the apk from that and installed manually and all works except play still says not compatible so wont update if needed. I flashed back to .67 to test and everything installs fine, so it's defo the FW
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
That (the natwest app) is the main app I was worried about.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SGR[robin92]:
Swedish language support on. 76?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ar47vn:
Is there any bloatwares? Is this FTF unbranded?

I mean the firmware in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1685672
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
so got a reply on the thread over at Sony here is what was noticed by

B-boy2507

Fixed

some focusing problems

a MTP problem

that's what i can tell from my experience with .76 WORLD generic, just updated half hour ago

also the capacitive buttons increased sensibility

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] piafinho:
The issue is not related with the hibernation but with the fact that the Phone doesn't properly handle the new state.

It should change from USB+charging mode to pure charging mode.

But part of it goes to charging (led is on and phone is prevented from sleeping) and the main part (battery) get's no juice.

So it enters in a fast discharging mode :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Fix your BIOS. It's your computer that should tell the phone that it's not used any more.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Usually in Windows Device Manager there's an option for USB devices says "Turn off this device to save power".
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
UK generic has only .67
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Maybe. #linux
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
This option.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] k_myk:
Ok, so I can update to .75 (EU Generic) with Sony PC Companion. Downloading right now, BTW.

But one thing bothers me: Why do I need "Update Center" on my SXS if only way to update is through pc? :confused: Does it do anything special? Since I have this device it just says that there is nothing to update. What's its purpose? :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
I think its purpose is just a reminder/notification service.

Just that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pato66:
I am uploaded the firmware 75 from seus pro. when finshed it I give the link.

regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] defsix:
Media Player has disappeared as well as foursquare in my version. That stupid football thing as back...

I also have a new app, Power Saver
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ash_c64:
Power saver is on my .67 UK generic...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
thats not really a new app...

i had it on my .73 world gen firmware & .73 czech :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] k_myk:
Well I thought so too but it doesn't notify about anything. I don't even know what I should be notified about? There was no notification for system update even when I connected SXS to PC and was downloading new firmware. :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
You can really do system updates through the Update center, but only for small updates in general. It also takes a bit longer for updates to be available OTA after they're available in PC Companion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
It was on mine as well till i deleted it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umarian:
For me its more faster than .73
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
one silly Q...

do i need to relock the bootloader before flashing a ftf via flashtool?

because i dont have good memory from the last time that i used flashtool>>>SONY Service Center...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
No wonder the PCcompanion was updating itself :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcjuh:
Noop question...

When i update to new version... Can i root it just by installing doomkernel v4? Ore is there another way?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900i:
Do i need to have my bootloader locked to update my phone through pcc ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umarian:
Yes you have root if you instal doomkernel v4
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcjuh:
Yes you do relock and unluck again to flash doom kernel ore just flash ftf from thread and reflash. Doomkernel..

Verstuurd van mijn LT26i met Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcjuh:
Is it wurth it ro flash it ore wait 2 weeks untill ics?

Stock. Doom kernel ore v4 with over clock kernel?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Now for me Sony PCC says cannot communicate to update server.

Been like this for a few hours already.:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
No need to relock if you wany to use flashtools.

Yes that's the bad thing.

same here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] carmello1911:
same thing over here... :/ I am stil on .67..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] colossus:
It's been like that for months mate, was the same when I had the Arc S.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
it was fine in the morning when i checked up for the update but not now.

edit :it's working now but it say that my phone is updated,i am on NL generic .73 :(

i think will flash another firmware or waiting for someone to upload.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] colossus:
In the UK I have always had that message, I googled the issue and tried various things but never managed to resolve anything.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
i just flashed TW .76 firmware...

i can confirm:

- better TouchButtons Sensitivity.

- a little smoother.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pato66:
uploaded firmware 75 to development section.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] piafinho:
How can this be a bug on the BIOS when the Phone screen indicates that it is no longer charging but the charge led remains on and the phone stops to go in sleep state?

Computers can be configured to pass power on the USB port when the System is in States like S3, S4 and S5( Standby, Hibernate and kind of "Wake on Lan")

THIS is a feature that can be make available on recent computers.

I personally like it because I can still charge my stuff via USB while I leave the computer in hibernation during the Night. I use this a lot when traveling to avoid taking a charger with me.

(I don't like it in my dock station because it still keeps the mouse on when the computer is not there... but that is a different topic :)

With Samsung and HTC I never got this problem.

However my Xperia S doesn't know how to deal with it.

Either it should fully stop the charging state and allow to go to sleep or restart the charging procedure like HTC and Samsung do.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adsada arc:
Just installed .75, I do notice that the touch buttons have improved and are now more responsive. Can't notice anything else, but will have a play with it and report back.

As for someone posting that focus issue had been fixed, I can confirm that unfortunately the focusing issue posted around this forum is still there :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Me to i can confirm that the touch buttons is more responsive and fixed.

Good Work Sony :D

i don't have any problem with the camera so maybe a misused or a hardware fault with your phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kh0rdan:
If you face problems updating to the newer .75, try to do it through SUS! PCC didn't do it for me as well... ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adsada arc:
but I am not the only one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653800 !

It normally behaves once I've focused, but my arc never did what it does, where it cant seem to focus by itself and keeps adjusting, its worse at night time shots especially with a distance. Hope its not a hardware fault :mad:

edit, just an idea what firmware you using? might try and find a .ftf to flash and see if that fixes it... :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
As I am on .73 NL Generic as well and there is no update available yet I think I'll just sit this one out. We're only three weeks from the ICS release, and I really don't want to bother switching firmware regions right now, especially when the fixes seem to be so minor.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kiko_1272:
Hey guys, I had the same problem. Problem connecting to server.

My PC Companion said it needs to update, tried it and it failed. Tried update the phone again but it failed to connect again.

Then restarted the program and re-tried updating PC Companion.

Once the update worked, everything was all good. A pop-up came up to tell me there is new firmware for my phone and will update as soon as my phone has charged a bit.

So anyways, suggestion is: Try update PC Companion, if not just use Flashtool ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
I am on CE1. 75 right now.

Try changing the focus mode to single autofocus.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
I have that issue too sorry to hear it's not fixed I guess is more common than many people think but noise annoys me more
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] elfeneco:
Hem...

Tell me if I'm wrong cause I'm not sure but, it seems that this update change the way appears the screen while unlocking ? King of a fading effect starting from center of the screen ...

As well, I find the capacitive zones more responsive.

:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I noticed a better battery life with. 75 update ( even better than .73)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:

We will see ...

I hope so:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Seems still not available for German version.:confused::rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
The difference is not THAT big, but it's better than .73

This is based on a few hours of WiFi browsing. I almost never use data, thought... I was getting a normal day battery with 35% left during week, (1 to 2 hours of music, 1 to 2 hours of WiFi, lot of gaming and a lot of time taking notes and random checking. About 10 messages and 2 or 3 quite small calls). All this from 6:40 AM until about 7 PM (a hour where I have a charger accessible). Let's see how it will go in the next few days.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
Is this update available for UK yet? And if not, what is the latest for UK?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rampage2020:
What is the difference between .75 and .76?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Different regions, that's all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Not sure but I remember that the touch buttons are more responsive in. 76 than. 75

I tried them both but can someone confirm?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
I haven't noticed any difference from .73 to .76 with the keys, tho that could be cos i've used dooms kernel for both and perhaps the tweaks are kernel level?

-smc

Just checked flashtools and remembered I flashed Xperia S_6.0.A.3.73_Generic CE1.ftf because I got tired of waiting for UK .73

If you're really desperate search for that one, download it, flash it and then update via PCC. Should mean you get updates straight away in the future too
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:

Will be there aoot for this firmware?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
You can use doom kernel to root.

By the way @all TW .76 is really faster than .75
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
The funny part is that after I flashed the .76, My PCcompanion detected that there's an update for my phone and mine's bootloader is unlocked :D

Thank a lot that they fixed the MTP thing cause it was a pain in the ass!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900i:
hi,

when I was trying to "relock" my bootloader, the flash process had aborted and an error reported that usb debugging had to be "ON" in order to flash.

when I was trying to reboot my phone the "green led" just flashes for a second and goes off ....my phone wont startup :( and whenever i try to connect to my computer the green led lights up automatically ...i even tried fastboot to reboot but it doesn't work

i guess i am stuck in the flash mode :(

please help !

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adsada arc:
Hmm, yeah maybe there is an improvement in battery life... can't really say for certain though cos the battery saver app I installed already doubled battery life so I can't tell that easily.

The touch buttons are good though so kudos to sony for improving them
