[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] borgsta:
Ugh. I am not not able to use 1 of my headphones anymore. The same set that worked perfectly 3 days ago are now "Headset not supported. Use another headset or visit Sony Mobile support site for more information"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] borgsta:
Seems like that problem is fixed by holding the play button while inserting the headphones.

Another thing I have noticed is that my phone searches for a GPS fix every time I unlock it.

If for example I go to Maps it finds my location instantly however the icon on the notification bar still sits there "searching"

Asphalt 6 is still not compatible. It's up to gameloft to fix compatibility issues. Maybe they want us to buy Asphalt 7.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steryman:
I already own Asphalt 7 but afaik, there is not a big difference in compatibility between Asphalt 6 and Asphalt 7. Thanks for the reply :)

Anybody using uccw on this ROM confirm whether their weather update working or not with autolocation or set location?? mine not update even over wifi or data

Camera Issues

I see no one reporting issues with video recording in this new build.

Whereas previously my Acro videod faultlessly, now the Camera refuses to respond after pressing the record button in video mode. It crashes with the warning "camera not available". Can others using this build try their video recording and see if it's working.

Any suggestions on a solution, other than reinstalling software.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
have u installed any apps recently or mods recently? try to check.

if im right you have acro s? this is for xperia s, i dont know if its ok to install this to acro s.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] haribolman:
Doesn't this thread title include Acro S in it? This thread was given as a link from whirlpool forums on their Acro thread.

I''m running a stock Acro S with the latst Sony update to build 6.1.A.2.45. No mods, and no added apps since the build update. Prior to the update the video recording was functioning correctly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
i mean the rom not the thread,

if thats the case then you need to flash again your rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] haribolman:
I'm thinking that's the only solution. Tried a reset with no change (except my unlock slider had also started hanging and it fixed that!) so a reinstall is next. Damm, that means having to reset up all my screens and folder and apps. Bugger!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
you dont need to wipe data. just install the firmware without wiping data.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] haribolman:
How? I didn't see that possibility on the SONY PC Companion program on my computer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steryman:
Ok so now I've installed the update and all I can say it's awesome. Even if Asphalt 6 is buggy(red lines), Asphalt 7 is moving way better, it's smoother than running on GB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Not as "impressed" as you guys...

Stock NL .45 with ICS14 kernel. Plenty of junk removed. Never used GB on this phone.

HW button sensitivity poor - have to tap the dots many times sometimes.

Proximity sensor function erratic; when in call and you need the keypad, more often than not the screen remains blank.

Autobrightness is simply rubbish.

Sound output (notifications and system) is often too low. Incall voice quality received (in phone earpiece) is muffled and often distorted.

Battery life is erratic, many Alarm Manager partial wakelocks which sometimes run away with the battery.

Fuel gauge errors 2 times out of 5 when starting phone.

FM Radio reception sensitivity poor and stereo blend too slow (audio quality very good though).

Swiping between home screens often judders.

Scrolling quality not usually good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
HW sensitivity doesnt seem any different to me than before

Proximity Sensor works fine, havent seen an issue

Battery life is better on this rom, much better

Sony autobrightness is much better than normal autobrightness. Set your brightness which will be the lowest value it will go and it will adjust upwards. I have a Nexus 7 and I find the Sony autobrightness to be far superior.

Install Incrediblebass mod it will help with sound output

Dont use fm

Scrolling on home screen is perfect for me, I use a modified home though

Scrolling in OS can be easily made better by build.prop tweaking.

I dont know what fuel gauge is
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Can't compare HW button sensitivity with other builds in X S - only other brand phones. This one is lousy.

Calling is painful with this phone when it usually blank screens - can't hang up or use keypad without hitting power button. Bit basic.

Battery life is usually OK - sometimes Alarm Manager (part of the OS) just runs the battery down for no obvious reason.

I know how the S/SE autobrightness scheme should work - it just doesn't really work. Nexus 7 doesn't either. Most smartphones don't.. Sammy almost as poor.

Sound quality is not a bass issue. I'm talking about trying to hear a caller without it sounding like they're talking through a towel.

FM radio is an important feature for me. This is my first SEMC phone with a bad radio.

Interface is far from buttery given the processor and browser scrolling often jerks.

Fuel gauge chip should report battery level consistently and fairly accurately. This one is very rough.

Additionally, I forgot to mention that the baseband is not great, my signal level and g/3g/h switching is a lottery, based on same carrier, same location across phones.

By the way, what was battery life like on 2.3.7?

Don't get me wrong, this is a great phone, just "unfinished" in the software/firmware department...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] letama:
Guys,

You should realize that as you don't run stock 6.1.A.2.45 kernel, you can't really comment on a firmware nor report bugs with it. This firmware has been released with a kernel we don't have source code, so all the custom kernels you are running are lagging behind regarding bug fixes and behavior.

Try again with the embedded stock kernel, then feedback would be meaningful.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
So the advanced stock kernel is NOT based on stock????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
It is but I am not sure it is the latest version. I dont have 90 percent of the problems you have stated though. I have KA12 and XSX kernel though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CrazyPeter:
Of course it's not. The source for the latest kernel (or even the one before) hasn't been released yet. If you run this, you aren't running the latest code, you are not getting the fixes, nor the performance tweaks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
According to Arakmar there isnt a ton of changes in the kernel for .45. Most of the fixes are system side.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Of course it's not??? Source of your info would be useful as it contradicts info on here...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] enrique71:
I experience this issue far too much, I can't get the phone to hang up because the freakin screen remains BLANK when I pull the phone away from my ear.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Exactly - this is unbelievable at this stage of release... I'm trying the original kernel from the .45 NL ROM now to prove my learned friends above right or wrong. Hopefully right!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] huntedsoul12:
Same here, everything stock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 1235sam:
updated OTA

Having strange issue with whats app notifications. When Whats app is in background I cannot get messages. When I go to Whats App screen then only I get messages :silly: Kind of annoying because I cant get notification when phone is kept in pocket
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Did this happen on GB 2.3.7? Phone came with GB but I updated without trying...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloris:
can someone explain this to me?

i don't even see ANY auto brightness setting on this phone.....never have since i got it, not in gb, and not in ics.....the only brightness setting i can find is to set the brightness level with a single slider. how do you set it to auto brightness?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
S/SE phones don't have an AB setting as such. You simply set the slider to the minimum you want and the screen brightness SHOULD increase as the lux level increases from that setpoint. It does work somewhat, and has smooth transitions. Unfortunately, it doesn't work particularly well as a scheme. Try and set the slider to about 25%, cover the ALS for a few seconds, uncover and then shine a pocket torch at the ALS, the screen will brighten smoothly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloris:
ah, i see...so in order to get the best battery, i should basically set that level to the lowest value and the srceen will still brighten up above that when needed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Set it to the lowest level you can use in a darkened ambient! The phone will do the rest.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloris:
brilliant, thanks. i can see it fine on the lowest setting, so i'll leave it on that and see how it goes :)

also with stock kernel i had much better battery life with this new firmware, but thought i;d try advanced stock kernel to gain root and see if that could improve further by using setcpu to limit the screen off cpu usage, and also titanium backup to freeze apps that i don't need/use.....trialing it today, i honestly didn't notice any difference in battery from the stock without these adjustments, and the advanced with all these limitations/adjustments......

so i've just flashed back stock kernel, but root is retained, so i'll see how much of a difference the adjustments make with stock kernel :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] letama:
Well, it's easy:

Sony source code is here, you won't see 6.1.A.2.45. So any custom kernel out here can't be up to date.

Regarding changes, there are changes: Arakmar kernel is based on 6.1.A.0.452, check his git here.

We don't know yet what's in 2.45, but in 1.58 we do, so compared to .452, there is for instance this:

-CONFIG_VMALLOC_RESERVE=0x2EE00000

+CONFIG_VMALLOC_RESERVE=0x23200000

and a bunch of modification concerning memory management in video driver associated to it.

And this:

@@ -88,6 +88,7 @@ static struct gpio_event_input_info gpio_key_gpio_info = {

.keymap = gpio_key_gpio_map,

.keymap_size = ARRAY_SIZE(gpio_key_gpio_map),

.debounce_time.tv64 = 10 * NSEC_PER_MSEC,

+ .info.no_suspend = true,

};

Meaning that they stopped suspend on a key.

and also

- Changes regarding 5mm jack, mic detection and buttons.

- Changes on mmc sleep.

- Changes regarding rtc

- Changes HDMI.

So, I stand to what I said, reporting problem on this firmware without stock kernel doesn't do good. There are changes in kernel between Sony releases.

To be clear: I don't dismiss Arakmar or any kernel dev job out here, they're doing a great job and their kernels are great. But they have to wait for Sony source code release to be able to match firmware. If you're using a kernel that doesn't match a firmware, you can expect troubles.

So reporting bugs on a firmware without the matching kernel isn't doing justice to Sony, half the fixes could come from it. We'll see what changed when we get sources.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Thanks - as above, and on the basis you have potentially confirmed, I'm on the 2.45 stock kernel now. I will advise if any of the issues I eluded to are in fact due to the older kernel base, or not. My MAIN concern is the screen remaining black when in-call and the resultant inability to either use the keypad or indeed end the call readily...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloris:
just read this in another thread.....

Disable black screen issue after call

ro.lge.proximity.delay=25

mot.proximity.delay=25

add those two lines to your build prop and see if the issue is resolved?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Both would achieve the same thing, but are not applicable to our phones. The first is for LG phones and the second for Motorola. They are not standard to Android and would have no effect.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Do you think replacing .lge and mot in the above lines with semc will make them work ?? Just a thought :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LenAsh:
Sorry, no!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
And for my 1000th post I wish to impart upon you all the knowledge I have just gained this afternoon.

If you upgrade you can keep your unlimited data if you add a home phone line for $20/mo. according the the guy at the Verizon store today.

Went in there to try to get my phone replaced under warranty, which they wouldn't do since it has a cracked screen, threatened to leave VZW and was offered an early upgrade. After I asked if my plan would change he said yes, it would go down to 2gb, but then he told me if I added a home phone line I could have unlimited. I have a home phone with AT&T so I'll just port my number over and I'll be set. (I did buy a Magic Jack that I keep forgetting to hook up but I can sell that and hopefully get a refund for the months of service I paid for.)

EDIT: The phone service is a wireless service. According to jayochs it's called Home Phone Connect.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
You mean a land line?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
...

EDIT: Nope. It's wireless phone for your home, you use a regular phone on a wireless thing.
[HTC Rezound] coltstrgj:
I will have to do that next time

Last upgrade (when I upgraded to the rezound) my unlimited data carried over, and the lady said that she had never seen that happen before, but I will have to try this if they try to take it away)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
I call fibs

Synergized GS3
[HTC Rezound] chaos254:
That's some shady **** right there. I have unlimited and had my phone replaced under warranty with no issues. Don't go into the store when doing warranty stuff.

I wonder if Verizon is offering incentives to their store employees to get people off unlimited data. This isn't the first time I've heard of them telling ppl they won't warranty a phone if they don't switch off unlimited
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
All you need to do is an alternate upgrade then put the new device back on your line.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
I dont believe it!!! I work for verizon communications (non wireless) and never heard of that. The only thing wireless does for us is fios. Was it a copper landline or fios? Either way if you kept your unlimited data, thats great! Did they give you a contract on the landline?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Sorry, didn't mention my screen is cracked. He said if he did it I'd just get charged for it later so they don't do it anymore.

I'd have to buy a wireless router/receiver(?) for $12 and the phone service is wireless. So technically I guess it isn't a land line... it's home phone service, $20/mo., call waiting, caller ID, nationwide calling...

Still thinking it through and wondering if that's better to pick up a new phone with new contract or buy a used one and keep unlimited without adding the home phone line. Plus I have to decide between the 2 phones he offered me for the same price but I don't want to hijack my own thread.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
that's called home phone connect. it's a little box that you can bring anywhere and it uses verizons network to make calls, but you can plug normal landline phones into it.

lol my store gives those boxes away for free. you just have to pay that 20 a month, and you get the reciever for nothin :P
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
That makes more sense than a land line! They have an ETF if you cancel before 2 years on the home phone connect right?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah i think so..it's added like another line to your acct, just like a tablet/jetpack etc
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Well why don't you come open your damn store in Los Angeles then???

Well there goes my plan of trying to do that cancel thingy like on the hotspot and keep my unlimited. Doesn't sound like it would've worked anyway, seems any change triggers the loss of unlimited from what I've read.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't understand. Can you explain what an alternate upgrade is?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
they mean if you have a family plan and another line has the upgrade, you take that, but you upgrade it on that other line...then just do an ESN change to put it to your line, thereby keeping unlimited data, but f'ing up our commissions. lol

i don't do that for customers because then i lose ALL of the commission i would've made. verizon wants you to do alternate upgrades instead of just ESN changes. my store would get charged back all that commission money from verizon at the end of the month because it's not a technical upgrade. if you can find someone who's dumb enough to do it for you, then so be it.....but when you order yourself online, you don't have this problem. only when you goto a store with a physical salesman.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I have read so many threads on unlimited data. Things about being able to keep unlimited on a non family plan, being able to keep it if you pay full retail, this, etc. I am confused. How do I keep it. I certainly don't want this useless box to connect my land phone to lol.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
If my salesman gets physical he's gonna lose a hell of a lot more than his commission.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Something tells me you can get very scary :D.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
On a side note, I have one of these, works great. I keep a cordless phone plugged into it and I backfed it into my house wiring for another phone I have.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Don't do anything that modifies your contract and they won't take it away from you. Any other way will be depending on some type of promotion or special allowance. Buy a phone without using an upgrade (either by paying full price or buying used) and you'll keep unlimited data. Using an upgrade discount triggers a contract modification and you lose it.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i get physical with the sexy ladies... how else do you think I got a gs3 for 30 bucks? ;)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
You said she wasn't attractive. Hope the phone was worth it lol
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yes. Very. But in a good way. >: )

Sounds like prostitution to me. :p
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Sounds kinky! I approve :good:.

Fixed for truth.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
So I have a family plan with 5 lines, 4 of which have unlimited data and the fifth has no data (dumb phone), the line with no data has an upgrade available, what your saying is I can go into a store, upgrade that line, but actually activate the new phone on a line with unlimited data? What would become of the one with no data, say if I bought a gs3, it would require me to get a share everything plan on that line wouldn't it? After swapping the theoretical gs3 to my other line could i swap back to the dumb phone and remove the data package that is no longer required?

Not trying to screw you/Verizon over, just a theoretical question.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Use the 5th line to upgrade, get the 2gb data plan. Go home, wait a day, put the sim of the line you want into the phone, then go online and reactivate the dumb phone on the 5th line.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
So I would not have to switch my entire family plan to a share everything plan? I can just change that single line to it? If I would have to separate it from the family plan I would have to see it the benefit of having a new devices would out weigh the added cost of the plan being on it's own.
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
No you won't. If you use do an alternate upgrade then put that new device back on your line and the dumb phone back on it's line then it will still be your same family plan. Nothing will be separate. Go somewhere where the salesman aren't commissioned and have it done.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
I don't plan on upgrading now, though this is great info, I don't dare touch anything Samsung, other then their TV's, I've have tons of bad experiences with Samsung phones/laptops on the account of other people, I have been threw their fist and second gen oled TVs and they are great, I haven't found a better TV that puts a ps3 to good use, yea I know Sony's oleds are good too but when I bought the first TV the Samsung was on sale lol... anyways went quite a bit off topic. I've been loyal to HTC for years, since the HTC vouge (vx6900) on Verizon and they have yet to do me wrong.

Tldr not upgrading to a gs3, ill be waiting for the dlx :D
[HTC Rezound] motenak:
Not to sound stupid but help me out for a second. In the case with 4 smartphones and 1 regular phone on a family plan, wouldn't upgrading the regular phone to a smarphone which will need a data plan, automatically force the 4 smarphones into a shared data plan?
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
Apperently not if I use the updrade to upgrade a device on another line. I really want to test this though I dont care for anything out now, gunna wait and see when the dlx drops.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
listen, do this at a place where you don't care about the sales persons commission (like a corporate store, cuz they suck lol) or do it yourself.

1.) that other line on your account that has the upgrade, upgrade to the new phone.

2.) wait a day or two after activating it on that line, and then do an ESN swap to switch the numbers.

bam, you keep unlimited data on your line because you only switched phones technically.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
no it doesn't. Tell them you want to keep your current unlimited data plans on the other lines and they will offer you a 2gb plan for 30/month.

I just re-added a tbolt to a line with a feature phone last week (friend of the wife needed a feature phone cheap). They can't force the other lines off of unlimited data unless you upgrade them as well. You can go with 2gb for each line if you want (actually cheaper for me that way).
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
Don't really understand what your saying. You can keep unlimited if upgrading other phone on plan if you simply request it?

After a search, I know other people have had this issue with the MT4GS. I'm currently running Virtuous Inquisition 4.02. I'm pretty sure i've flashed any updates. Also, I don't remember having this issue on any other ROM that I have ran in the past (virtuous unity, CM 7). The issue is the soft keyboard not responding randomly to certain keys. The weirder thing is if i use a different finger, it usually responds, but if i keep using the same finger, it won't. Is this my digitizer going bad, or just a soft keyboard thing? I haven't experienced the issue in any other part of android, just when using the soft keyboard. is there a touchscreen driver to flash or anything i can do to fix this? thank you!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rafaelrfq:
At least someone else has my same problem

It isn't anything related to the digitizer aparently. I say this because it never gave me a problem using stock rom. This usually happens when the phone gets too hot (you can feel this on the touchscreen). It starts lagging from what i could see, i mean my touches are not recognized properly.

If anyone has a screen calibration .zip laying around i would highly appreciate you to share it :D
