[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Check in the OP for the dixperia thread and there might be a flashable zip to fix your wifi issues.

I think when you were supposed to wipe your phone, dalvik cache etc. Manually when flashing the ROM but i don't know if it'll be OK in this instance since the ROM seems to be working fine for you
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
If you're using custom kernel please head to the kernel thread, download WiFi modules and flash it via CWM. Oh and please follow steps if not some things might not work accordingly. DO NOT SKIP! :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwilightLoz:
Ok I'll flash the WiFi modules but how do I get my phone to be reset? Like all the system apps that come with the dixperia2 rom and that's it,none of my apps should be there? Is there a way of that?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
I recommend you backup all apps, wipe everything and flash the rom. Or you can reflash ftf and reinstall the rom to have a cleaner Rom.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwilightLoz:
if I wipe everything, will all the things on my SD card also go away? Or is it only the things in the internal memory that will go away?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
If you factory reset, the things on your SD card won't go away. Only if you chose to wipe the SD card will everything go
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Nope just internal. And your phone will looks like you just bought it few minutes ago.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwilightLoz:
yeh i done that. but i relized that I cant turn on my data connection (e.g. browsing the internet using your sim cards internet). I click on enable data connection and nothing happens. Wifi works though.

No gorilla glass on note II... go for s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Gorilla Glass is overrated anyway...

Go for Note II and use a screen protector (which you should use anyhow even on a S III).

I have a S III and I am just waiting for the Note II to star selling in Brazil to sell my S III and get a Note II.

Background: Updated my ICS unlocked i9300 to JB finally last night.

Can anyone advise why when i was on ICS, i was experiencing no lag at all and the entire experience was really nice, but now i have upgrade to JB the experience is very poor due to allot of lag and general system slowness? For example, if i kill the messaging app from long pressing the home key (with a kill all open tasks), when i re-open the messaging i will be greeted with only phone numbers on the display initially but then after a sec or 2 the names and pics are populated. Also another exapmle would be the keyboard (stock one), when clicking in the URL box of any browser or in the messaging app (again stock as before), the keyboard takes quite some time to appear!?!

It seems very odd to me as JB is supposed to be very good with it's "butter" but is not performing for me at all in the way it should?!?

Any help greatly appreciated as i now no-longer like my phone very much :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crest+:
Guess what???

Problem is not jellybean... its you.

There's no way jellybean is very slow compare to your ics..

If ics is faster for you then go back to the ics.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake-87:
I got the exict same problem ! the main theme ringtone in the start booting screen plays but no video just black screen with the sound.. Afrer it boots its very very laggy and after like 15min the phone freez with black screen.

i got the update today im from kuwait .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch0ka:
Seems as if wiping cache and dalvik has been forgotten. ..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kil43:
'Crest+', very unhelpful answer and the type of answer you'd expect from dumb asses that use nokia. If you bothered searching the net you'd realise that this issue has affected allot of people and i thought i'd ask the experts at xda - but i guess trollers have made it here as well.

Wiping was not done in my case due to the fact that it was not advised to do so via any point of the update and should have been setup to be more like the upgrade from froyo to GB and actually worked properly without having to do so on other devices. Why would anyone want to wipe the cache and dalvik if not prompted to do so via the official process?!?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake-87:
Did u try factory reat?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kil43:
No as it was not required but it would appear this is the only possible resolve... Joy, time to backup and restore tonight which knowing kies will take about 4.5 hours...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crest+:
and here i thought you were the one trolling...

but since there are people experiencing also..

I apologize for my response earlier..

.....

Here's what you need to do... try flashing a full firmware from sammobile...probably the latest firmware to make sure its updated...

then flash it using odin... I never experienced this so called lag that's why I answered the question based on my experience.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kil43:
Not a problem, i will try the factory reset first as i should have the full latest seeing as it was stock updated through kies last night. Worst case scenario is i go back to custom romming it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake-87:
Did it works?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kil43:
Due to me not having much time at the point of needing to format and restore i decided to carry on for a few days until getting the opportunity, but oddly the issue seems to have gone now :confused:

The only thing i can link it to is the fact that i ran through all the settings and was greeted with the annoying 'help' popups, and once i cycled through al the menus getting rid of the last popup...no more lag :eek: The phone is running very smooth (as it should), but really can't see how the menu aids were slowing it down (if they were), but they are the only thing i can link the issue to :silly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochewer:
I have tried many jb roms and i have to say that although jb is extremely smooth,I always find it extremely slow compared to good old GB.

I have the feeling that they have sacfificed speed for smoothness!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorianborovina:
Same thing on mine Galaxy S3

I've just experienced same thing as you..

Sluggish, laggy.. and everything after i did official update to Jelly Bean..

Resolve:

Turn phone off

VOL UP+HOME+POWER..

Wipe cache...

That's it :)

At least it's working for me :)

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kil43:
Yeah i did this as well after the post about the guide menus (forgot to post update), and the phone is back to it's glorious state.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
thanks mate as was just a thought

don't think it will boot off advanced stock or speed kernel as they are build from sony source code and this need aosp kernel

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
it's wierd because it works for me perfectly ..what kernel did you had when you installed this rom ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anadarco7:
It would be awe if freq is overclocked.And i find some games little laggy too.Dont know if this is a issue only for me.Initially on my first install i had boot loops later it settled down.But on other hand this ROM is :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
I think its something kernel related, because it happens to me on all roms with new cm10 kernel, that I have more battery drain, even if my phone enters deep sleep correctly.

Xperia S Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
the kernel in PA is not cm10 kernel just built from similar sources...............if this battery drain was down to this fact then all would be having the same issue. some people have posted screenshots showing actual battery drain to be on par and sometimes better than stock. quite frankly sony stock battery is very bad to begin with, something you are adding or some 3rd party app is causing it..............flash the rom as it is and use for a least one full battery cycle before adding any apps then on next full charge restore your apps and see if is drastically increases drain. only true way to check mate
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
This ROM should be updated shortly

Dude, you couldn't have unlocked your bootloader without entering fastboot. Fastboot is the blue light, when you press vol up while booting.

In order to get back to stock you need to put your phone in the green mode which is when you press the vol down while booting. Hope it clears stuff up,.
