[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paulotex:
Thanks for the tip.

I flashed the Central European version from here yesterday evening, and the battery life seems to be back to normal now. So it might be that flashing a world firmware on a european phone is not the best option.

On the other hand, I didn't delete anything (no data, no cache) while flashing the generic world version, and this time, for the european one, I deleted the cache. That could also make a difference.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
I'm new to the xperia world and I've done a lot of reading but didn't find the answer so...

I've installed the full ftf .544 firmware through flashtool without issues a few weeks ago and yesterday I've received the 50mb OTA with 6.1.1.B.1.54 and installed it without issues to.

The thing is, the .544 had the language Portuguese from Portugal and Portuguese from Brasil, but after OTA updating to 6.1.1.B.1.54 I only have Portuguese from Brasil. Is this normal?

I've downloaded the full ftf file for the 6.1.1.B.1.54 version and tryed to install it like I did with the older .544 but while following the flashtool procedure when It tells me to unplug usb,power off and press vol down+power + usb cable, the phone is not doing anything, just boots up normally, it doesn't initiate the flashing procedure like before. Am I doing something wrong?

also, can anyone that flashed the FULL ftf 6.1.1.B.1.54, check your language settings and le me know if you have both Portuguese languages (BR and PT) ?

Thank you

Edit: btw, I have the same problem with getting root, because the procedure is the same from what i have red.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
U can flash every version on every phone, ur problem was cache. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
So, there is only one person complaining about worst battery life with the new update? For everyone else it is the same?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
I managed to flash the new .54 and the pt-pt language is back :)

Somehow it was related with me not being using the original usb cable.

One weird thing though... the phone was left charging from midnight to 6am and it only charged from 40% to 70%.

I have rebooted it , unplugged and repluged the charger and will check back later to see how it is, but it doesn't seem normal.

Edit: I just remembered, while doing the rooting procedure I didn't flash the last step...the correct 1.54 kerne (damn!) this is certainly the reason for the battery issue. Flashed it and will confirm on the next battery charge.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paulotex:
There is no power button involved:

1. Power off and disconnect cable

2. Press vol down and connect cable

3. Keep pressing until flashtool recognizes the phone is connected.

If it is the first time, Windows might install some drivers and because of the delay the connection fails. No problem. Disconnect the phone (it should stay off) and try it again: vol down and connect usb. It should work.

My Central European version has both.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
tks mate
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paulotex:
Yeah, that was probably the issue. The reason I thought was a version issue was that for older phones (Nokia, IIRC), different regions might have different radio settings, and the wrong setting for the wrong region would influence battery life. But I guess this no longer applies...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
Can you guys tell me how long do your phone's take to charge with their original charger?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] musvi:

how to flash ftf file???

rooted and unlocked bootloader. Thp Kernel, stock rom, 6.1.B.0.544 version.

plzz help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Use flashtool for this. Just put the ftf file in firmwares list folder and open flashtool.

Now click on thunder like icon and choose flashmode.

Choose the. 54 ftf from the list of firmwares and connect your phone in flashmode. Power button + vol down, green light should appear.

Now let the flashing operation complete.

Enjoy the new firmware

Hope it helps you.:D:D

Note- flashing will not delete your personal data but you will lose root.

Just flash any prerooted kernel, and you are ready to go

hi!! i read what you posted here. but i dont think that could be the issue because after reading your post i tested it on my device but the charging was still on. might be i am lucky but for me that could not be the reason. i recommend you to try clearing dalvik cache/ cache. it often helps in these cases:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
I think my issue was caused by having flashed the generic world version instead of the central europe version... After that I haven't had any more problems.

If it happens again I'll give some feedback.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
I want to learn on creating the ftf files manually, from the SEUS folder...

I followed a guide from http://mytechencounters.wordpress.c...eate-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/, have a couple of doubts...

1) I noticed that on choosing the 3 biggest files from blob_fs folder, i didn't get the device selection option at the very end, however on choosing the 2 biggest files, as i read that on XDA, i get the device selection window at the end... does the 3rd biggest file(63 kb one), skip the device selection window as it has some extra info?

2)Do i have to check/enable the "Disable Final Verification Check" option at the part where we write the device info? Since i read somewhere(don't remember where) that for ICS, we have to enable that option.

I'm creating the .54 ftf file.

Is there a way to reset the gps stats on this phone? Every time I go into Maps it shows my location at 20 or 40 meters and keeps moving between those two. I seem to remember my gps being as low 3-4 meters before.

This is related bit I've also noticed that my phone is laggy on any Sense rom that I flash and can't figure out why. It's like my phone hit old age and doesn't wanna work as smoothly as it did a few months ago.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
What do I do with that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Might be time for a RUU and re-root?

That app will give you the raw GPS data. You can use it to see if the problem is the signal or something else.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Yea I was hoping to not have to go the ruu route lol but I was kinda thinking I might have to. I don't wanna use the 2.20 ruu tho. I wanna keep the old bootloader.

You just need to use the 1.85 RUU. There's a link in the dev forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
The 1.85 root method will still work even tho it finds 2.20 in the last step?

EDIT: Isn't there a way now to downgrade your hboot so if I ran the 2.20 ruu I'd still be able to downgrade and flash kernels and radios in recovery?

4.1 mod, 4.5 mod

A big and small version

[STOCKICS][NEW BL NEW LAYOUT][CWM 6] Link to Stefans V28G 2nd Gen Excellent ROM

But as we all know the thread is now closed, and we cannot discuss this Good (nearly) Bugless ICS ROM by Stefan. The thread is going down rapidly and very soon people may ignore it. But I think this NVFLASH rom is not ignorable.

Of course there is no improvement is available from him after he left, but I thought we can share this link with other members who may wanna try this V28G 2nd Gen NVFlash Rom and discuss about it. May be some patches by other devs will make it more practically useable.

One mote useful link by his is here ... [Offering] CWM 6 recovery for Stock ICS with new bootloader [new: v28G based] could be useful for some.

NOTE: On this rom I am using Homero2's RIL1109 V28G MOD. Working good.

[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I use the rom since it was out, and it is very good for me. BUT my standby battery consumption is too high (10% in 8h without wifi, data connection etc). Except this, it's a great ICS feeling. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] cmahendra:
Its really a good rom.

Do you mean your battery comes down from 100% to 10% (90% drain) in 8 hours? Strange. Mine works great. I get only 30% drain in 8 hours overnight with all automatically switch off by SMART PROFILE (Free) app. My device goes on silent profile mode, switches off wifi, bt, gps, data at 11:45PM and again comes back General Profile mode in the morning at 7:30AM without switching on anything. I switch on things only when necessary. I really get good sleep without any disturbance :) This app works perfectly since a year on my all roms and gives 100% perfect result and battery lasts longer. 100% is enough for me for whole day (24+ hours). Yes I do voice calls around an hour in a day, other than some moderate use of music, video, camera, etc.

Yes I also have fixed habit of Advanced Task Killer (Free) which kills background apps every 30 minutes in CRAZY mode for all 24 hours a day and keeps saving hell lot of a battery.

These two apps are first thing I do to any rom. Try this and feedback. I dont need to blame roms when I have some tweaks like above to try! :D

EDIT: Screenshot added with exact 50% juice remaining after 14 hours. :) forgot to mention I use Stereo BT (Sony MW600) most of the time connected to device.
