I don't have those problem :/ maybe you must instal the ROM with wipe data and instal GAPPS 4.2 is better..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Mine is the same. It's the in call loudspeaker that's bad tho. Music playing etc is fine and loud but if you put it on in call, there's not much difference then not having it on

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] babyboy3265:
JB

OK so i installed the ROM yesterday and i have been playing with it for a while now... Gotta say i really like it, its smooth it has good performance, looks good and its highly customizable, perfect... But, those are the issues i found and i am sorry if they have been stated in past posts, i read a lot and did not find a solution for none of the following:

1. The MAX brightness of the screen seems a lot lower than the one in ICS.

2. The Illumination bar does not seem to work for notifications even if i use the program from the play store.

3. The screen does not turn off while im talking on the phone and i have it next to my ear.

4. The cameras MAX resolution is 8MP while it should be 12MP.

5. I also as most people have the problem with in call loudspeaker and it is really annoying, please some one find a solution...

Everything else seems to be OK so far, thank you for the good job guys!!! :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
1. This happens on all JB ROMS. I don't know what causes that.

2. The system doesn't have the needed libs and apps to make it work like it works on stock. No port till today.

3. Works for me, when I tested it.

4. It is because of the fix for the camera.

5. I don't know. Don't say "please find a solution". Sounds you're demanding it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
So does the baseband stay from the previous ics rom? So if we flashed 2.55 then flashed the pac rom again we'd have different baseband?

Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
AFAIK baseband isn't included in the custom roms

only sony updates it

and i heard for example that this new one SHOULD fix for example the proximity sensor (which didn't work on stock too)...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] babyboy3265:
:/

ROM is nice... But i wish i'd have known about all these issues.. I kinda conciser them important.. Ill try hold on till some fix is out for now, but let's see.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xmixmaster:
1st correct

2nd correct

3rd maybe he broke his sensor of his phone :rolleyes: because I used this ROM in other 3 xperia s

4th for better photos try the app CameraMX

5th the sound is great power AMP premium and music is loud :)

PS to babyboy: try make a clean instal of the ROM :) it will help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
So surely we can use FlashTool and chose to flash baseband only for the 2.55 firmware?

Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Yea as the reason I asked about baseband as it does affect volume of handset. Please try the baseband of people with OK in call volume. Also please try new baseband and report as it can improve data, wifi, sound, BT etc. Its very important

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] element800:
The kernel is in P.A.C and the baseband is also in the kernel? So when flashing P.A.C rom you flash rom + kernel and that's when you also flash the baseband I think ;) correct me if I'm wrong or so ;D

Ok so for the screen brightness there is a solution!!! :D The guy mrscarynation messaged me privately since he did not have 10 posts and was not allowed to post here, he told me about that app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&rdot=1

I installed it and VOELA... Brightness goes to the MAX :D simple and free fix...

My proximity sensor works it was my mistake...

Now the other most important part is the loudspeaker while in a phonecall... As i know there was an app that disable s the system volume control and allowes you to set it to the MAX... works on the same basis as the Brightness app... i just dont remember which app was it... maybe any1 here does?

Power amp

Guys is there a way to connect the phone in mass storage mode? i can't do it even trough recovery now.. :/ the PC can't find a driver or something...

And I also just realized that Power AMP does not work after the upgrade... :eek: i tried reinstalling and stuff but nothing... I installed the rom clean as said... with wiping every necessary thing... any clues gentlemen?

Good News,Sony to announce Jelly Bean update schedule in mid-December
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dark_lord86:
no, in mid-December announce release date for JB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piponxs:
Devs: any news? On what are you working for next release,when will it be? Thx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
PAC rom doesnt contain any radio or baseband. it uses the one from your previous rom. baseband is flashed via stock rom updates or flashtool. some baseband files can be extracted to flash as a standalone item. if someone knows how then that would help greatly

i am guessing that after flashing firmware you then restored your PAC rom.............notice the obvious flaw here?

android debugging has to be on when phone is on and it will prompt you. if driver is missing then install it mate as wont work without it. same as recovery as if your version of recovery supports usb storage then you need android 1.0 installed to turn it on. windows will search for it and if not found it will error out so find it and install. SEUS has all drivers needed

they will announce when it will be released but dont expect to see it anytime soon. it will first be tested and released with new devices and after they are released then maybe you will see or get something...............i wouldnt hold my breath mate

well we are gonna ask you guys what you expect from next release? just wanna guage what people need and miss with these aosp roms. please post freely guys and let us know what features you miss and how much you need them................:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
battery and low in call volume

right we have seen that some who use this rom have varying issues especially with battery and in call volume................. now i have had to take a step back as not everyone have these issues its very difficult to isolate and fix because of that. also i remember back in the old winmo 6.5 days with devices like TP2 and HD2 even Diamond that flashing the wrong baseband can lead to all kinds of issues mainly low volume to no volume and battery drain. reason was because certain radio firmware was made for different regions which may not be compatible with the region of the rom software you flashed. also not having the right ril.dll files also had an effect on battery life. in theory even on android it all works the same and flashing new basebands from different regions can either improve or hinder phone performance.

in order to narrow this down we need to get info from those who have ok in call volume and decent battery drain. please state

radio firmware:

region:

then i need those with low in call volume to see if their device has similar info and if not flash device to get the same radio firmware then clean flash PAC again and report. i know it seems long winded but its only way to diagnose the issue and possibly fix it. if you flash firmware with new radio you cannot then restore an old backup............need clean flash! that way we can recommend that working baseband for all. thanks for all your help guys. remember to help you we need you to help us!

I found this for the baseband

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I think the issue is..... In call and on loudspeaker... The volume control doesn't actually do anything. So perhaps the people who don't have a problem already had they're volume set louder and now flashing the rom has frozen it at that set volume? Would that make sense?

about on new release..

If you can try to add on next release the option of overclock near to 2ghz :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dark_lord86:
Will be great if you can fix proximity sensor not turning on screen after call.

i tried to update the baseband with method posted mirhl but no success. flash tool says is ok, but after reboot same baseband:

8660-aaabqolym-314010-24
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ashray_Vk:
Yeah.... really appreciate it more if an overclock option was added :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
my loud speaker volume can be adjusted (but not the other[internal] one)

and i'm on 8660-aaabqolym-314010-24

i read on an italian forum that the new baseband fixed proximity sensor (if you can't update.. try to ask to the other thread OP, i think he's better skilled than me)

i didn't tried it yet, since i'm looking to what "bq24185_watchdog_lock" and "smdcntl0" and "smdcntl1" wakelocks are :mad:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dark_lord86:
yes, but how can we update the baseband and still use custom roms (PAC) ? i tried with flashtool, someone else tried with fully write the .55 firmware(with new baseband) and then flash pac, with no luck.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Well I did extract them and created a ftf with only the baseband .sin files in flashtools. Though that didn't help much either. It flashes fine but nothting gets flashed anyway. Still 24 after a reboot..

Have been struggling with this for a while now and seen others that have had the same problem. One fix was to set the location settings to US/EN but well that didn't help either for me.. Still trying to find a way though..

Yeah that would be so wrong in so many ways.. ;) so no I didn't do that.. Hmm but wait, I did install a custom ICS rom with the .55 firmware.

Just thought of something, I should prolly flash the stock generic instead and see if that will do the trick.. and hopefully the new baseband will stay put after installing PAC again.. ?? Fumbling in the dark here but well... I'll be back soon again with a new report... Wish me luck..

[/QUOTE]
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dark_lord86:
someone else tried... maybe you have more luck :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Feck noooo... Really there have to be something with the baseband it PAC!! I made a clean install of stock generic .55 firmware. Got the .28 baseband.. Then did a clean install av PAC and .24 is back again.. Haven't restored anything... Shingers5, What's your take on this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
It's really really strange

Did this happen with other rom? (Cm9, vanilla cm10, pa....)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Hmmm maybe the PAC ROM has baseband files included which replaces original. Can someone try one of the older PAC versions without fxp kernel as the kernel could have baseband files included. Try flashing PAC over stock without data/factory reset just wipe cache and dalvik then reboot to see if keeps baseband. I am waiting on a XS with unlocked boot loader so I can fully investigate this
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
I'll try that and we'll see how it goes.. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ashray_Vk:
Loving the no-lag experience and the awesome ROM ! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
No go on flashing a earlier version on top of stock .55 firmware.. Never boots up, just stays in bootanimation. Tried formating system also but same result. Had to do a factory reset and then we're back at .24 again, sigh... So the .24 baseband tags along with the factory reset.. Don't think it's got anything to do with the kernel then..

btw, goddamn how slow stock is comparing to PAC.. Everything felt like glue.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Lol thanks for trying dude. We won't give up as there must be a way to flash .28 baseband and use it with PAC ROM. This is where we all get involved and sort this issue out
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
No worries. I don't mind trying and now I really wanna find a solution for this #¤%#.. I've tried installing earlier versions of flashtool too thinking that maybe that would sort it, but no.

I'll keep on trying....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Is baseband replaced even with other custom roms?

Try with vanilla cm10
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
I wouldn't think so as it seems like the baseband get replaced when you do a factory reset in recovery.. So it won't matter what rom you use when you need to do a clean install and as you need to do that when coming from ICS to JB.. And just flashing the baseband with flashtool don't work either.. So is there a way to push the baseband in some other way on to the phone or into the factory reset folder(where ever that is???)??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
I did some research

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34795759&postcount=2454

As of this, it seems that low volume patch need 2.55 baseband

His developer is on cm10, so it shouldnt be impossible

Maybe you could try to install pac rom from another recovery like that included in advanced stock kernel or bin4ry one
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Again, it don't matter and that's what I have been doing. Installing from ics16 and 15 recovery.. Like I said, the baseband reverts back when you do a factory reset in CWM.. So I don't believe that this is a kernel matter at all..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
AFAIK, factory reset would ONLY format your data partition (and maybe cache)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Also not to be forgotten.... Any ideas yet as to why hardly any music players work with the latest update Shingers?

has anybody else experiencong REALLY bad battery life recently?...

ive been facebookin and whatsappin for about 10mins and my battery is 86% from a full charge?!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
Well that is not anything unusual, poor 3G makes the phone poll for a signal and thus the drain occurs.. Set it on 2G if you don't have to have 3G on.. and other ways to save battery are to disable NFC, location settings, data.. That will increase your battery life Alot..

No, haven't experienced that.. mine has been on for 12h and I have 78% left of my battery...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] welshlad:
I've found this rom to have awesome standby battery life, but quite a lot higher than normal drainage when the phone is being used (screen on or off)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Mate you should know that on every device with poor signal area that will increase drain. The reason is your radio if set to 2g/3g will constantly look for best 3g connection so the constant switch between 2g and back to 3g hammers your battery. In poor 3g area use 2g and you will have much better battery

are you doing that over WiFi or 3g data? There are other factors that contribute to that not just apps used.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cdotj89:
it was 3g at the time... im aware 3g is a battery killer but i wasnt exaggerating about how much i lost battery i lost in that amount of time. i did NOTHING else, no downloading/updates apps just social... that cant be normal can it :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Seems strange yes but data kills the best of phones mate. On sxl and one x its very bad and samsung devices too. It should settle down after a few battery charge cycles
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
lots of 3G drain even for me

but i can't go on 2g, because my operator hasn't a 2g coverage and i would be in roaming (=€€) :crying:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dktblade:
Yes. I dont know either. just 4% over 6 hours night if we turn off 3G, WIFI, GPS. with me, Battery V18 is the same stock.

Sound volume

Hi all,

I found a kernel for CM10 that's suppose to sort the audio or so they believed. Forgot in which thread I found it though so can't give proper credit.

I don't know if it will work for those who have the sound problem but personally I think it gave me even better in call volume. Then again I have never suffered from the bad in call volume.

Anyway I don't know if it work but give it a try...

No updates on getting the new baseband on pac.. I've tried a few more things but nothing have worked unfortunately..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kamald73:

I've been running it now for a while after trying to get that baseband to stick with Pac. Haven't noticed anything else that 'breaks' only a very good increase of the sound volume in calls.. I saw that this kernel is built on the 3.0.52 as it presents itself as 3.0.52fxp+

can someone put the files to another server please ?

nevermind, i got it

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Not flash 2.55 and PAC flash a stock Sony rom with the baseband included or flash it via flashtool and boot it so the baseband has actually merged with your device and working. Then copy that etc folder and replace it in PAC rom zip folder before flashing so when you flash it will remain so.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Lol yes etc/firmware folder or the contents in firmware folder. Posted your file for some to try. 7-zip allows you to amend zips without extracting it.

Basically flash a stock rom with .28 baseband or flash .28 baseband to stock rom. After reboot then using root explorer or es file explorer go to /system/etc/ and copy firmware folder to sdcard of phone. In root explorer mount as r/w then select folder and choose move then navigate to sdcard and paste. Connect phone to pc and put the firmware folder you copied on pc. Using 7-zip navigate to /system/etc and right click then edit and paste firmware folder on pc to it. Exit and save then put edited Pac folder on phone sdcard and flash
