video playback half screen isu

I'm having a problem on video playback. after record a video via the camera. watching the same video from gallery sideways will ended up half of the screen went up and off the screen. Any way of fixing this other than 3rd party apps?

sorry if this was mention earlier but i've read about 10 page back and no one seems to say anything about it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ce4ko:
the issue with the wifi happened to me too! didn't do anything... it was working one day and the next one it wont? any ideas? I haven't flashed 205 or nothing... just been using my phone normally when it stopped... any ideas beside flashing all over again...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
It is a known bug, mentioned here in this thread and on the official bugtracker. Only way to get over it now is a 3rd party app (MX Player works just fine for me).

Btw. it happens even with Instagram (even when taking a normal picture, not a video) and other apps....

Fix for rotation is https://github.com/munjeni/miui_sony_xperia/commit/6fdb4f91527492005289421f47c9c11610178583

Is usb tethering working?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
Can you explain where to put this file? I do not have the path /framework-res/res/values/bools.xml on my Sola (= I do not have ../values in the path, when I created it, nothing was fixed)

No USB tethering does not work (imho it has something to do with Win7 drivers)...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:
Munjeni means these values to corrected/applied in decompiled framework.

Does the device restarts automatically when connecting to usb tethering or just don't work?

Sorry for asking. Can someone create a flashable zip of CM WiFi module.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Silver-7:
One thing that's really annoying in this great Rom ,is that the Home launcher and app drawer keep reloading after using some apps, it takes like 5 second for home to reload sometimes.. That goes on the pre installed launcher, and also Xperia Z launcher..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:
Lock home in memory will help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Silver-7:
Sorry but how to do that?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ahlulnugraha:
Try using apex launcher, it has option to lock home to memory.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
There is an option in cm 9 also I guess....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
Lock in Apex doesn't work on CM9... Launcher still closes :( would supercharger work?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cpanos:
Guys (and gals) I have a question (actually two), does anyone know why there is a requirement to first flash stock firmware before flashing a custom rom in sola?

kernel, rom, recovery, all come with cm9, so why is that? (my main device is a nexus so this requirement is very odd for me)

On a second note, if you do a nandroid backup say of cm9 FXP205, and go to whatever other rom, do you need to flash stock again before restoring the nandroid, or you just hit recovery and restore?

thanx and forgive my ignorance on this matter

P.S. Im asking this here because maybe the rom developers might give a more insightful answer on the matter.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Silver-7:
CM9 default launcher doesn't has this option, now giving Apex a try.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] visser:
Same here, I have a logcat of the issue and would be happy to donate an A2DP headset to an active dev. to get this sorted for Pepper. PM me if interested.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
(IMO)

its bcoz you get best experience with that particular ROM.... coz they haven't tested it with every custom ROM.....

i.e if you have xyz rom on you device and want to flash CM rom so you will have to flash stock coz FXP team has not tested it on their devices with xyz ROM installed on it they have tested it on Stock only......

(correct me if I m worng :))
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] psyionx:
Arrr... this is so wrong posting this here...

but well, my last phone is the htc legend and its already odd that xperia dont have a recovery partition. and CWM is living with the kernel here as recovery.

i'm no dev but been here for quite some time and i think i know whats going on. you need to flash a fresh stock because custom rom flashing will be deleting(known) and changing and add new stuff on top of the stock with in the system partition. thats also why you dont see a wipe system partition in CWM. so things dont get so wrong... please someone correct me if i'm wrong

for you second question... i cant give you an answer as I my self don't like doing nandroid backup any more. its a wast of time and it takes up lots of space. i'll just back up what i need via titanium and choose later what to put back.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cpanos:
thanx for the replies, ill take this to the q/a section, i dont want to take this thread out of topic.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ce4ko:
something about the wifi, except installing everything all over again...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ScratMan38:
Because a phone's firmware is composed of several things written in different sections of the internal memory :

- bootloader (like the BIOS on a PC)

- kernel

- Modem's firmware

- Operating System

Basically, to "flash" a phone you need specific tools to directly write in the different sections of the memory. When flashing, you can write whatever you want in the memory, you can modify everything.

To install CM9, we are not doing a single flash. It uses the specific tool to flash the kernel only (the bootloader, the modem firmware and OS remains the same at this moment), and the new kernel embeds a recovery which allows to mount as read/write the memory section where operating system is stored to erase everything and write new files instead of the stock ones.

But the firmware of the modem is not stored in the operating system, and it's proprietary, not open source, so the only way to update the modem's firmware is to use the external tools to flash it. Then you need the right kernel and operating system to interface the new modem software.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Guys, i was on Stock for a week for a reason, now i got back to new FXP 205 but really face unusual battery drain which i never faced before.

Yesterday with calls during the day i got 30 % down, not sure if its normal.

I was on 54, wiped, flashed 205 and gapps, wiped again, rebooted, signed in google account and thats it.

I am using ondemand (min 200, max 800).

Is battery drain fixed or is it me?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ScratMan38:
Same here, seems 205 drains battery faster than 203/204.

Was using OnDemand, now trying with Interactive governor.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
Guys, try using the Interactive governor. I liked it the best and I think it gave me best battery life.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
The same here, i tried ondemand and interactive but result was the same... it is ok if im not using it (deep sleep) but when i start browsing over wifi or data it just eats the battery. When im on airplane and reading book seems to be ok.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ScratMan38:
around 50% in 8h... most consuming apps :

- Screen = 42%

- Android System = 22%

- Android Platform = 16%

Phone in deep sleep 74% of the time...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Yeah, will try only interactive now. I was thinking of trying conservative but not sure how it will be.

Same here, which is strange compared to ROMs based on stock, where these numbers are like 7 to 10 %.

I really dont want stock based ROMs, i just hope FXP will manage to fix battery drain more.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Silver-7:
For those having issues with default launcher "keeps reloading" , I tried Apex with "keep in memory" feature, it reloads less, and much faster , as it reloads all elements of the screen at once,unlike other launchers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] srprashant91:
hey im having touble with packet data on 203....is it me or anyone else facing trouble? i need some fix asap. :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Why are you still on 203 when the latest is 205.try flashing the latest because I am on 205 and packet data work just fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] srprashant91:
I flashed 205, same prob.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] yuskhanzab:
Did u make a fresh clean install? Flash .54 ftf and let it boot properly before u flash cm kernel. My data works without prob here.:beer:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xxrahulxx:
I have problem with packet data sometimes.

Most frequently, it happens in the morning. I use Deep Sleep Battery Saver at night to conserve battery. When i use the phone in the morning, the data connection doesn't turn on, even after killing that App. I, daily, reboot my phone to get data connection working.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
This problem has been reported by other users also including me..... Let's hope for the fix..... But it's only for some people.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
Bro, this problem does not occur because of your deep sleep app. I do not use this app and I had the same problem. It was the reason why I stopped using this ROM. Actually I started to think it might be because of the SIM card, after I troubleshooted this problem more thoroughly with a friend of mine who is a computer engineer. I will test more with different and older SIM card and report.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rohit3221:
I am on 205....Do i need to just flash the boot.img and then flash fxp206 without wiping..or do i need to wipe as well?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
oh Bro... like silk :) it's really blazing fast :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] oaman:
Any body tested use the rom with locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
how do you think you could flash the new boot.img with fastboot for Sola with unlocked bootloader ?? I do not think so.

BUT if you have CWM for locked bootloader you can try install this zip via update in CWM without flashing boot.img.

REMEMBER to clear data, cache partition and dalvik cache after install.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Confirmed, when someone call me no phone ringing and some strange noise, please fix this cause if your phone is in pocket you cant hear and cant answer.

Thanx

hey guys i'm getting error 7 for 144b

i've tried flashing stock->CWM->144b

remive 3lines of the doc/ remove boot

nothing seems to work

any fixes???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
Abd shell to ur phone in recovery and type set.prop ro.build.product pepper

Exit shell and run install dont reboot after adb

This should fix error 7
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eavesdrop:
I think the ext-sd is not being detected, can't even mount it. I also looked at the first page and it's not listed in the "known bugs".
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
Look at /mnt. Then you will see /ext_card. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eavesdrop:
but how can I mount it to PC ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
Try use it through ADB ... (It can't be mounted to PC but can access trough ADB ...)

OR

You can Try X-Plore if you have a WiFi connected to pc, just share folder on pc, open X-plore go into LAN press Add server and Scan and wait for it to find your computer (or if you know your computer ip add it manually) then point it to your computer long press on it and press save (here you can set your windows login information if require by your windows) and now there you go you can share anything through your phone and pc from WiFi :) hope it helps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adaho0:
For now you can't. But it's still a developed version of CM9.1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Haven't this rom on my phone anymore.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eavesdrop:
Yes, thanks for the replies guys, I'm not complaining about it because I understand that this is still on the development stage. I just thought there's already a solution to this because it's not on the Bugs list. Despite that, I'm sticking with his rom. Thank you FXP.

It seems that things that worked before dont work now. Going back to 204.

i usually turn of my mobile data during night and when i turn it on the next day it wouldnt turn on unless i restart the phone. i am running 205. anyone faces this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
LINK to your problem.......
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
I again must say that this problem is not connected to the app that you use bro. The deep sleep battery... something app :)) I say this because I do not use that app and I do have the same problem with this ROM :( The same problem does not occur with stock based roms.

One thing you guys should try and report back is NEVER to activate data connection from the toggle. Instead, activate it via the Mobile Networks menu inside System settings :) Let me know what happens.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Thats strange my toggles are ok, but i must say i had problem on 205 but when i manually turn off in mobile networks then it worked fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
Don't know the reason bro but m not facing any such issues with data connection toggle... :confused:

I use it every now and then to switch off/on to play with my whatsapp last scene :D

but I get it back and working when I switch it on by toggle... :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darktanget:
hey,

Is this suppose to happen or its a bug - closing the android AP connection give the phone immediate restart.!!!! Frequency - alltime.

i have put it on bug tracker but any one else faced this??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
It may be sim card related....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cpanos:
a small workaround to this problem, instead of restarting the phone, turn airplane mode on, then back off. Mobile data toggle should then start working again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nirmalsudharjanan:
i noticed some strange issues with default gallery app,me and two of my friends are on 205. and we checked this problem in all the three handsets

and it seems a common bug ,the problem is that if we play a song in Apollo music player(we never tested it with other players) and then open an

image in gallery it will show loading circle and then the image comes and soon the next music track began to play..and this happens when we

repeat the above mentioned steps..i dont know whether its a known issue or not, but guys who never noticed this please check it by urself..

if its a known issue then please suggest me a solution..

Also we updated to 206a and still the problem is there..

I have big battery drain. 13 hours -> 70 % (1 phone call 15min, 2 sms, 10min play music) - is it normal?

When i charging battery shows 40% -> restart phone -> battery shows 54% ... ?

SOLA - CM9 fxp 205
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Ahoj :)

Try to instal 206a, it looks very promising, best battery life so far... At least for me. And start from scratch, e.g. fresh install.

.54 firmware

then boot.img

enter recovery

install and enjoy

Battery calibration may help.

Download battery calibration app, let it on charge till 100percent then hit calibration and unplug. Is good if you leave it discharge till zero and charge overnight.
