What do u mean by that?? :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ConorCX:
O2 - UK have rolled out Jelly Bean for branded Xperia S phones.

Updated and it seems to be working fine. The issue I've found so far is the usual video recording, other than that very fast and fluid.

Same same same here after flash 200 and 211, full wipe didnt work.

(And btw , in 211 facebook is draining my battery )

But all others apps works (mail, g+ ,twiit...)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I'm so damn tired of this god awful JB Rom. The volume up bug is driving me insane, the walkman randomly stops if you use the browser at the same time, the lagging videos are annoying me to no end, google voice recognition ****s up all the time saying "I didn't catch that" without even giving me the time to say anything, and the purple flash is immensely annoying.

Reverting to ICS, it was laggy, stuttering, and clunky but at least I could listen to the god damned walkman without it closing on its own and the volume up button dying for no reason forcing me to reboot unless I want to take the phone out of my pocket to fumble with the volume bar manually like a ****ing mongoloid.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:
My works fine make a factory reset and install all app manualy !!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
I'd like to take a look at this bug, does anyone know a way to trigger the problem quickly ? It happened to my kernel once, but it's not happening often enough to give me a chance to have a look at it.

I need to find a semi-reliable way to trigger it to be able to track down the problem in code...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
By pressing volume up and down like crazy while listening to a song with headphones it always happens within a few seconds. When it happens, volume up stops working completely, the phone doesn't respond if you press it. Volume down still works though, as does modifying the volume using touch. It also happens in niaboc79's ExistenZ by the way. And it also happens on stock rom with no mods whatosever reinstalled straight from SPCC using the repair function, just tried now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Funny, 'cause I was having the same issues with Walkman dying when you dare use other apps on ICS. It's all about the RAM, and browsers in general eat it up like there's no tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chefnoob:
LOL! I feel you bro... I found a solution for myself. Just bought myself a XZ...Got sick and tired of this buggy JB. Actually feel like a sucker now. Could it be that Sony is doing this on purpose so people would upgrade? Looks like it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sinple:
Let's all hope the update in July would suddenly be 4.2.2 and all bugs magically diaappear
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ConorCX:
I don't think that 4.2.2 will be released at any time for the Xperia S due to the limitations from Qualcomm (I think I've heard that binaries for our processor were not released for 4.2.2). I do think that the month will give Sony time to fix the bugs found in the current .200 and .211 firmware though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
This "update in July" is referred to increasingly often on here but I've yet to see any reliable evidence for it. Where did the idea originate?

As previously noted, there won't be a 4.2.2 for the XS because Qualcomm haven't released S3 drivers for that version. There's a vague suggestion (eg in this thread) that there could possibly be a 4.3 release as a "swansong" for the XS but I wouldn't rely on that without further evidence.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I know, but as I recall, in ICS it never happened, not even when I was browsing heavy websites in desktop mode with flash content activated. Also, it's not that the Walkman closes, the sound just stops, the walkman notification remains there. And besides, even my old Xperia Ray wouldn't stop playing music in the background no matter what, I am 100% sure of that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sirence:
The Problem you have also happens on ics. The problem is, in your playlist there must be a song with either a wrong codec, some strange characters in an id3 tag or something wrong with the album art or you have too many songs on your mobile. Walkman can only handle around 1000 subs before it begins to act up.

Try to clear you libary, and clean the tags of the songs you keep, this always fixes the problem for me.

Here you go

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Just tried that and happened to me too. But I had to open 7 tabs in dolphin while playback and then the music stopped and couldn't play again. Not even unplugging and plugging headphones back in.

Looks like android kills playback because of RAM savings.

But music stuttering like in ICS is gone and I am very glad. It was really awful.

Now in JB It didn't stutter not even once.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
Yup, saw that. It's hardly definitive, though, is it? Words like "may be planning" and "The representative suggests" makes it seem all a bit wishy-washy. Even XperiaBlog backs away by saying "...we’re not sure at this stage is if this is an entirely new update after 6.2.B.0.211" - ie they basically admit that it might just be a fix for the NFC bug and nothing else.

To take something as insubstantial as that and turn it in to a new release that fixes all the bugs and maybe even includes an upgrade to 4.2.2, like sinple did, is stretching credibility way beyond breaking point!

I'm not saying nothing is going to happen, but I think there's a danger that people may end up pinning a whole lot of hopes on one forum posting - hopes that could easily be disappointed. Let's face it, .211 was widely and much more credibly pre-announced, and look what a disappointment that turned out to be. And with disappointment, however flawed the expectations were, comes yet another round of people throwing their toys out of their prams, bad-mouthing Sony and getting threads locked.

FWIW the response quoted by XperiaBlog refers to "week 28". That's 8th-14th July, so basically three weeks away. .200 was certified by the PTCRB on 7th May and started rolling out on the 24th - just over two weeks. .211 was certified on 4th June and rolled out to MEA on the 11th - a lot quicker at only one week, but then it was just for one region and was basically an emergency fix for a critical functionality problem. Absent a properly official statement from Sony, I think that's one of the most reliable places to get an idea of when a more complete bug fix release is going to come out. For week 28 I'd expect to see something appearing there sometime next week or the week after.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ultimateglue:
I've tried upgrade from .200 to .211 from Doomlord and rooted it as instructed on my XSL. So far, no diff, bugs on .200 still there and battery drains much faster than .200 :silly:

My windows 8 64-bit dont recorrgnize my phonne... :( how can i do it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vengeance66:
Plugin the phone on the USB port then restart your PC with the phone plugged in. I had this problem. I downloaded some drivers for my mainboard that were supposed to be installed... :)

Now, it's working :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PurlingNayuki:
I'd like to know if there is plan that Sony release the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 for Acro S..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Most probably no. It's not Sony's fault at all. Qualcomm have no plans to release Snapdragon S3 4.2 sources.

Try disabling sync and Google Now. That's should help a lot.

If you use more sense, fixing a NFC shoudn't take several weeks. I hope (quietly confident) Sony will fix the 1080p video bug. After this, this update will be good.

It also didn't shatter for me at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PurlingNayuki:
That's really a shame. Actually I think that Sony always offer acceptable system upgrade support as they can.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Galaxen:
What Sony needs to fix is disappearing widgets and settings after rebooting. I think it's got something to do with safe mode/kernel. This bugg is annoying.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Regza01:
I must say I'm finding JB a refreshing change though am getting some bugs like everyone else. It's nice to see everyone working together on the board helping people update. Shame Sony isn't doing the same :(

Find out what's the problem... USB front were 3.0! Need to do it in the back om 2.0 USB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
And also why the **** it isn't out officially in Italy yet? It's just insane that several third world countries not only got the official update but also bugfix releases and Italy still gets nothing. Maybe I'm just wishful thinking, but I guess that updating to the official one which is made exactly for the phone you have is the best way to avoid weird bugs like the volume up one that is the bane of my existence.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
Finally recieve .200 JB is it laggier than ics? Cause music stuttering and home redraw almost every time and apps forcing close it's just driving me crazy
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ConorCX:
While I had no problems with the update when performed in PC Companion, it can sometimes help if you factory reset your phone if you experience problems after an update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
It will settle during some restarts and soft resets. It was very laggy for me too so I restarted it many times during first day and it got better eventually.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
And what about home redraw and apps closing or phone not waking up fast after pressing power button?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Home redraw happens to me when using high demanding apps in RAM (usually chrome and dolphin in my case) they just kill every app so they run better and smoother.

If you are using a lot of apps that are running in background it will happen even more often.

Don't have any problems with apps closing, don't know what that could be.

If you are using apps like screen off and lock phone will not wakeup immediately or you will need to press power button 3 times. Here is a link to lock app that works good on XS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2319277

Hope I helped (:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MaxPayne3004:
The first day, redraw only happen when a lot of RAM are demands (Games), don't care but if i don't reboot the phone every 3-4 day redraw happens as soon as I quite an application. Since i am on JB, i don't install a lot a backround apps. To test the ROM. I use greenify. And redraw still manage.

It's better tha ICS but still here :o

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

For me, better than ICS, smoother but redraw still here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vengeance66:
I forgot to mention one not so disturbing bug.

When you talk on the phone for some time (more than 5 min. for example), the display is not lighting up after the call, it's dark so you have to lock the screen, then unlock to get it light.

On ICS this wasn't a problem!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NomNomM:
same here, FB drain my battery :v
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] technaudio:
Why would you ever need to press the volume buttons in this manner? It seems to me that most of the people that are *****ing and whining about 'bugs' are deliberately stressing the phone to make it fk up. I've had both 200 And 211 on my S and found them both to be a phenomenal improvement on the previous ICS, performance, battery use, smoothness, everything.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:
My xs v211 works fine is great :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skyhirules:
Even HD video recording, and taking photos with the flash in dark environment (purple filter bug)?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] revan17:
Purple filter is only on flash photos. To solve it; use normal mode and set white balance to fluorescent. No purple tint anymore.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
He doesn't need to, I asked for a way to reproduce the bug easily to try to fix it, and he gave me a method that works. It happens also in normal use, but it could take time to show up. It's definitely a bug.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
I got great news. The new software coming will be 6.2.B.1.XX, expected around week 28!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FrancoBegbie:
Bug Fix Release Will Apparently Be 6.2.B.1.XX

as usual no imings for release

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/493860#493860
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
That's the fastest way to reproduce the bug. During normal use, as you listen to music, it can happen any moment. The longer you listen to any media and alter the volume, it has a chance of happening. It has always happened to me every single time I started listening to music. It also happened to me when I was using the youtube app, in a game, and even when I was choosing the ringtone as I was previewing it in the menu.

did any1 figure out a solution for the volume up bug?

coz lately it's been happening to me very frequently :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alex_ncfc:
Totally agree, I don't sit and mess around with the volume keys, but when I have gone to use the "volume up" key at some point each day since I did the update, this problem has occurred. It is a huge bug. Restarting the phone isn't convenient

Is it possible to port Xperia z 4.2 update to Xperia s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] burnin:
I just update my XS to .200 from Sony SEUS oficial.

I do not do the clean install, i just updat from .55 (ICS) to .200 (JB) because i dont want to miss all my installed Apps.

Its possible to backup the Aps and do a clean Install? Do i lose my data over de internal 32GB ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gallardo994:
You loose only your applications and settings. All the files are untouched. You can backup all your apps and settings with Titanium Backup or any app like that and restore it afterwards

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I have been using JB since the leak 2 months ago and I had the volume-bug exactly once. How would you call it a major bug then? And I do listen to a lot of music. So I'm thinking you're using the buttons in a way that's not good for this particular phone. Doesn't have to mean that you tap the buttons like crazy, maybe changing the volume each song is already too much. That being said, the equalizer does have a normalizer, you shouldn't need to change the volume so often.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperiauser1221:
This bug is related to faulty /modded system ui...

Just find a jb system ui and replace it with the existing one or flash with cwm
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] technaudio:
I completely agree, although I haven't had the 'bug' at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] revan17:
Also had the issue once or twice, for me it's not a big deal but it is a problem... People should be able to change the volume how often they want, without resorting to a reboot to fix it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panchuckles:
Flash again solved all my problems. (and full wipe obviously)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Well no you can't change volume as often you want. There are physical limitations to how much those buttons can take, there's a finite number you can press them. I've had plenty of phones of which the buttons broke down. Also if your button weakens because of fatigue (and plastic always fatigues over time), the rate at which the button can be pressed and depressed decreases, the button doesn't "spring back" as quickly as before. If this spring actions decreases so much that it becomes slower than the refresh rate at which the phone samples the volume buttons, the button will seem to "stick". When that happens, software could glitch because it's not expacting that. So it could be a combination of hardware failure and a software bug.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Can't be hardware failure as EVERYONE with JB is having this problem...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rawimage:
Not EVERYONE. We have 3 XS's in the family and none of these have any problems with the volume button.

Actually the only bug we've got is the 1080 video recording.

Well, I've got the SwiftKey and widget reset problem after having tried booting into Safe mode, but the other two doesn't have that problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
You can't justify a bug cause of that.. If anyone want to tap the volume up like crazy it's their own problem but phone shouldn't fail anyways, it never did why would they be tolerant about it now?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Well, I stayed almost 2 weeks without the bug before it appeared...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vctrdnl:
The most irritating problem of the Jelly Bean update (at least for me) is the poor RAM management and the subsequently inadequate multitasking capabilities of the phone. Constant redraws of the launcher occur very often when I press the home button, and it does not really matter which app I have just used and how resource-hungry it is. A reboot normally fixes this issue but the phone is generally able to maintain just one major running process at a time. Browsing through Chrome and the default browser kills the launcher EVERY SINGLE TIME. However, the phone always indicates that it has at least 130-150 MB of RAM that are still free. Also, the phone gets quite warm in the loudspeaker area which is worrisome. Numerous wipes and flashes have not fixed these issues for me.

There are other problems as well:

1080p video quality and fps capabilities are poor, as mentioned so many times now. Photos taken with the flash on suffer from blue/ purple tint.

Some widgets are disappearing after reboot. I know that there is the Titanium Backup workaround - but this is only a temporary solution for me.

The lack of STAMINA mode is quite disappointing, especially since the phone itself suggests that it supports the technology. Not to mention that the cheaper mid-range device Xperia P gets STAMINA while the former flagship, Xperia S, does not. Someone might think that Sony developers got lazy here. Also, I miss the Power Saver app presented in ICS firmware builds, so it's like our phone has one feature less now.

I have not experienced the widely discussed volume up bug.

All in all, Sony MUST release a new JB build to fix those issues because the current firmware is certainly not worthy to be called an official release. Such mistakes made by the very producer of the phone cannot be justified or neglected.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Android>iPhone:
I got an notification for OTA update to 6.2.B.0.200. Quite strange because my handset is unbranded so I was expected to be among the first.

Main point:

Will I have to reinstall my apps after the update or will apps (like Color Note or WhatsApp), settings, texts, contacts etc. stay untouched?

I assume the files like photos, music and videos will remain as they are.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vengeance66:
If you update OTA or with PC Companion, nothing of your stuff will be touched. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
hai.. for disapearing widget, swiftkeys (or other 3rd party keyboards) doesnt stick, (maybe) it's Google (play store)'s fault.

read: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880 i think google fix it in 4.2.2 but not for 4.1

workaround: restore your backup from titanium backup will work fine. or install the apk manually (not from play store), or move it to right location. actually i dont have this issue as i restored all my apps from titanium backup successfully.

and next.. here's my 2 cent:

1080p video record lag: yeah, this time is Sony's fault. though i dont use it (720p is enough for me, and it's smooth too :D ), but still Sony should do something about it. and for purple tint, there's workaround for this already right? it works good (and beside i dont use stock camera app :) )

lack of stamina: meeh.. there are some apps that work the same (or even, much better) than stamina... for example: Greenify. yeah it's convenient to have good battery saving mode in stock, but i've seen stamina mode in my friend's xperia z, well, greenify is much better :D (unless of course you're the type of people that wont root your phone, for these kind of people ive been wondering, what are they doing in xda? :D )

i dont have volume up bug issue, so cant say anything about it. but i rarely use that button too, use an audio manager app(s) from playstore. some of em are really good.

for low ram. well, learn how to manage it. disables apps you dont use (but always running in background). and learn some trick to preserve ram (even greenify kan saves some ram, and there are oom setting, oom grouping, some scripts, etc, learn!! you're in XDA-dev) i dont have any problem browsing 5 tabs in Chrome while listening from Neutron (music player app). though i admit, i think it takes more ram compared to ics version, but maybe because it's Jellybean or something :) . the same goes for launcher redraws. there's trick here in theme and app section to prevent that. and for the heat. it's 45nm dual 1.5GHz without active cooling. it's supposed to be hot (and i assume it can handle the heat). i read here people complaining they got 45 degrees Celcius, i usually get around 63 degress.. and my phone is still working normally (with the trick that prevent lower freq when it's hot)

so, yes, the rom is not perfect. but we shouldnt always complain about it (even blaming and thrashing Sony here). try to fix, find a workaround, etc. if you want to complain, go to Sony's forum. for a fix/workaround.. find/learn here in xda.

that's it. :D

This bug was in ICS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Android>iPhone:
So far I'm pretty happy with the update.

The phones runs a lot smoother than previously on ICS, which became a bit too laggy for me in recent weeks.

You can really capture quick photos and that stupid 'Memory Error' is not popping up for every second picture I take.

Have to test 1080p video lag more thoroughly, but it seemed to stutter even for very short videos.

Can't say anything on phone calls yet.
