A lot of users (including me) reported that "GPS Test" app, fixes the problem by simply clearing A-GPS data and reload them after that (with the stock gps.conf on board).. also make sure your device's internal clock is synchronised with any time server online to get the most accurate time, the first sat. lock will take some time like 10 min. or so..

Can somebody please upload gsp.config from this firmware so that I can see whats the difference with previous ones?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mo3tasm:
it's just with 2 lines:

SUPL_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com

SUPL_PORT=7275

but you may need to compare the file "cacert.txt" found in /system/etc/suplcert folder content to see if there's anything special..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkrevelations:
What kantry said, capture time's better now, takes a tad less time to focus, like 1-2 secs less.

How do you clean a-gps data?

And one more question... Does generic.zip file makes Network Mode as it used to be (pop up window with 3 radio buttons), not this idiotic checkbox :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mo3tasm:
from "GPS test" app's settings, there's 2 buttons, one for cleaning A-GPS data, the second for reloading them..

(if you don't want to use any app for that, you can go to the service menu *#*#7378423#*#*, go to tests then GPS, select "purge A-GPS data", then open Google Maps app to reload them again)..

well, i didn't try it but i'm positive that it's pretty much the same as the original .100, just debranded/debloated...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Konesuke:
Hi Guys, I've found the solution for the 2g/3g switcher in the network settings menu! First you must have ROOT, then go in System/etc/customization/settings/com/android and remove the PHONE folder. Then Reboot. And you will see that the 2g/3g selector was magically reappeared! (Hours of decompiling work to found the solutions, just say thanks hehehe :good: ). In this way i've also finde the solution for the tethering problem with .89 rom. it's just an ip ban from tim: remove the SETTINGS folder in the same directory to fix it and then reboot. Finally remove also the INTERNAL folder to fix gps problems. Good night guys

Hi guys,

I have trouble to make cost save feature working in SMS settings. On fw. 89 I deleted the custom-conf in the etc/customization/conversation and on fw 100 this doesn't work.

Is there anyone who knows how to debrand SMS/Settings dialog to show this feature? Or is there any code to enable this?

I found the working solution solution "myself", cause it is the same situation as with Neo V:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/33066

My change of this solution is that I take the whole file from rom when it functions ok and replace the one in build 100 (and set rights -rw-rw----). Now it works (and it is also visible from settings menu), do not matter what conversation.apk I am using...

In default state after flash this feature is turned off (false in the conf file)

GPS

For me the ultimate solution for GPS location improvement was untick Google location service in settings (wifi and network), now gps lock faster, aditional of gps.conf edition with regional pool.ntp.org.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deaDleSs balLoon:
Please can somebody tell does this rom have the bug, which I found in every ics rom based on older builds: I use different ringtones for different group of contacts and all ics roms I flashed before mix them up randomly, so I hear ringtone assigned to one contact when the other calls me. This is very important for me and now I use gb rom. But I hope... :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
Confirm this all ICS fw including this one has this crazy bug :) Custom ringtones is useless... I think it is connected with poor performance/optimization of ICS, the phone has not sufficient speed to do all procedures during incomming call so some of them are skipped...

It also sometimes appears on GB, but only when the phone is doing something very for example CPU intensive during incomming call.

I tried lot of solutions, like convert melodies to ogg, put them to the phone memory. No matter that, the phone is still ringing the way it wants regardless my settings :P Crazy and useless...

Yes, it looks that this works! I am trying to fix with google location off and fix after 30s.

But still GPS make me really crazy on XPERIA U... It looks that gps sensitivity is very very poor. Sometimes the fix at the same place was very fast, couple of seconds, sometimes it takes a minute or two, sometimes ten or fifteen. Strange and crazy... Don't understand at all, my old nokia 5230 have the constant fix 20-30 secs anytime... Unbelievable that U is fixing this crazy way...

Yes gps has a weird behaviour, but I think it's has to be something with google location service.

Now I disable location service in google maps and it's fast again, (5 sec to lock in the street) I'll continue testing.

GPS on XPERIA U

GPS is really strange but I found that after uninstalling google maps works like a charm if the sky is clear and fix takes 10 secs but under cloudy conditions the signal is not so strengh and it takes at most couple of minutes to find 4 satelites with good signal. After this period fix is immediatly done. Observed this behaviour with GPS TEST and Toolbox. When all is not going as usual, is sufficient to reset and download a-gps data with gps test and fix is again immediate in clear sky condition..

So final solution is to don't have google maps installed and be patient when it is cloudy/rainy weather...

Me I add our local ntp server to gps.conf and unistalled google maps and fix is constantly short than a minute. No big deal but ok for me... With google maps installed the gps behaviour was strange (fix between 10 sec and 10 minutes). Maybe aGPS is not working because now there is no influence of google location servis on or off...But I do not know if it is real. The best ting for me is that the fix is ready everytime in the period shorter than minute.
