Hi!

I bought this phone in this week from my operator and it's SIM locked and the bootloader unlock is not allowed :crying: Is there any way to make it unlocked (the bootloader), like testpoint method or something else? What can I do to get full root permission to remove bloatware apps and use my phone like it has to be? I have the .31 firmware and the update say it has the latest update...wtf? Ther is a newer firmware. Correct me if I wrong; it's the .36, isn't it?

So anyway can someone help me or I have to wait? I like to use my phone the way it should be, like my old one, the Xperia Neo!

And sorry for my bad english :o
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Guys. Does the reset of the phone (volume up + power) work for yee ?

It seems that doesn't work on my L (C2105).
[Sony Xperia L] heross:
No, no, no. :)

I have test a 16GB Samsung Class10 Modellcode "MB-MPAGA/EU". Works great. :good:

Since build .36 don`t work. Use any app with rebootmenu to recovery. (GooManager)
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Those things dont fix all things. Flash a .ftf using flashtool. That should fix all issues.

Yes you need to unlock bootloader.

Sorry dude, as of now, you are out of luck. There is no method to unlock your phone. My advise sell it off and get an unlocked one. Or wait for a solution, if one comes. Chances are kinda low.
[Sony Xperia L] signashoes007:
Heard that Kingmax 16GB Class10 also works.. :highfive:

[Sony Xperia L] AlvinZahran98:

[Sony Xperia L] manik1992:

Try installing a fresh ftf file..
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Looks like the kernel is acting up. Are you boot loader unlocked?? If yes, just flash the vengeance kernel. If not, use flashtool and flash a valid ftf.
[Sony Xperia L] meledict:
Really annoying bugs on my versions

1. Camera.. Always miss focus

2. Edit music info on Walkman just temporary.. Edit music info and done.. Reboot XL and u must edit music info again..

Hope fix on update later or fix with mods ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Droid-V:
I'm facing the same problem on Walkman , very annoying ... Thinking in come back to Nexmusic
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
Hi!

I'm very satisfied about my XL. The only flaw I saw is a multi-touch "bug" in FPS games like Dead Trigger. have you found any solution to solve this problem?

And I went into service menu to "learn more about my device" if I may say. So I tested the microphone and the secondary microphone. I noticed that the principal microphone has a good sound, but the secondary microphone is less loud and it has a metallic sound.

Is it the same for you?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia L] AlvinZahran98:
No, I do not have this problem..
[Sony Xperia L] Drackean:
Hello.

Can anyone tell if using a custom kernel solves the problem with class 10 micro SD's? I have a Sandisk 16gb UHS (something more than class 10) and it works but the smartphone eventually freezes and I have to reboot, so now I'm using a Kingston 8gb class 4.

Also, I'm having trouble using Doomlord root method because when I open the "runme_win" file and follow all the instructions, it says "daemon started successfully" and stops there. I'm using Win 7 64bit and I've installed the PC Companion, SEUS and tried installing also drivers of others Sony phones with Flashtool and the Universal ADB driver but no success. Someone know why? (I'm posting here because I cant post in development section, cause I dont have 10 posts yet)
[Sony Xperia L] had_hc:
Launching the camera from lockscreen (swipe icon to left) is very slow n sometimes dont open at all. Same with all you others?

I also find the 'phone' app load up quite slow. Really annoying especially when have to make calls. I use my phone to make calls often

instagram problem

everytime i want to post something on instagram, the app closed suddenly and there's no information ( example : crash,force close, etc ) and it happens to when i refresh my feed. now i can't post photo on instagram for a month.

is this my phone's fault or the app ?

sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
It's the app fault I think. or you can make a logcat of this one..

Anyone ever used the MHL xperia L and succeeded?

Have passed the image from the phone to the screen via HDMI using the MHL adapter?
[Sony Xperia L] Kiicek:
I have no problems with camera shortcut at all. Phone app runs quickly too. Try factory reset maybe?

And for all those who can't make their class 10's working. My Adata wasn't recognized too, but I formatted it in CWM 5 on my old Galaxy Ace and it was recognized by my XL! I formatted it later with the L just to be sure and now it works like a charm!

Problem with xperia L keyboard after last firmware 15.0.A.2.17 update

[Sony Xperia L] sametktas:
How do you people get updates from Whatsapp, Twitter etc. if Stamina Mode disables the whole traffic? I whitelisted some of these apps and even "location based wi-fi" but I don't get updates unless I unlock the phone. The weird thing is, time until Wifi goes off is really variable. It's not just after pushing the standby button and it's not an exact time like 10 minutes or so.

Now, I need some help.
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Settings - Wifi - Advanced and look at Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep, when you have "only when plugged in" or "never" change it "always".
[Sony Xperia L] sametktas:
[MENTION=4423212]damian01211[/MENTION]: It already is, but not working for me.
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Stamina work's the way that if your screen is off everything is off too. So basically if you won't to have update's you have to disable it.

I'm not using stamina, I use a lot phone and battery is fine to use for a one day.
[Sony Xperia L] bulanula:
Does anybody know what wireless chip the Xperia L is using inside ?

Can anybody run "dmesg" in terminal emulator and post the output here so I can see what kernel module is loaded and thus what wireless chip it uses ?

Many thanks !
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Here you go.
[Sony Xperia L] bulanula:
Thanks damian01211 !

It looks like the "wcnss_wlan" driver is loaded which points to a wireless chip like Qualcomm WCN3660 or WCN3680. Most probably the WCN3660 like Xperia Z uses.

Definately not Broadcom wireless, unfortunately.
[Sony Xperia L] yagazee:
Please do you guys think Xperia L will get 4.2 JB update?

I just bought XL and everything was fine until I insert my 8gb class 4 microSD, when I turn the phone it says that the USB connection is not working, the settings app hangs when I try to open the storage settings and some apps like SwiftKey says I need an SD card to use it ...

I appreciate any help you could give.
[Sony Xperia L] Hrustus:
@up Kingston or what?

Some SD card are not readable by our XL ;3 I have sandisk and I have no problems.

[Sony Xperia L] Kiicek:
Did anyone try using LagFix app with XL? I am suffering from the internal memory stuffing problem and removing Walkman and Album apps didn't work. I thought that replacing Walkman with Spotify will help but it didn't and I have now 300 MB of apps installed and 500 MB is the occupied space in the internal memory.

So I thought that maybe LagFix could help but then u discovered that if could brick the phone instantly and forever. So did anyone try this app and did he succeed?

Same problem here. Exactly the same. I bought it yesterday and today did it. Although for last 5 hours now nothing happened. It works OK. I'll keep watching it.

[Sony Xperia L] grgana:
sudden battery drop anyone???

hello, does anyone have sudden battery drop immediatley after unplugging fully charged XL c1205 over night, from 100% to 76% in a second..

this happened few times on lastest JB with just 1month old device (owned by my wife). c1205

she have stamina mod ON..all the time, but i dont belive that is the problem

no task killers or battery apps instaled...only usual apps..viber, facebook etc..and she have 3g network most of the time :silly:..

but my concern is that battery drop is so sudden, same moment that fully charged device is disconnected from charger it show 76% left :eek:

what could be the cause of drop..or is it faulty device and she should claim warranty? :confused: maybe the charging proces duration was too long :confused:

i hope not cause in my country would take forever to get it back from repair..and very hard to convince the stuff that it require replacement or repair and it hapens only when unplug the fully charged phone.

i ve googled issue but nothig concrete about XL c1204/1205

i would appriciate your help..thanx in advance..greets
[Sony Xperia L] Kiicek:
If this happens every time, it probably is faulty battery. Some cells are broken and you should claim warranty.

It this happens just from time to time, it probably is some software glitch and I would do a factory reset.

[Sony Xperia L] NikTh:
Well, as for now the problem seems it's gone. 2nd full charging and no "closed by itself" or "reboot loop" effect.

The battery seems OK, discharging normally for the use I'm doing.

This problem had two versions for me. First, the device was closing itself. Second, the device was dropping to an endless reboot.

I cannot think what could be wrong except two things.

1) Battery hadn't snap in properly

2) The app (smart launcher) caused this behavior, because when I selected (I had the time) the option "Always" then the problem(s) disappeared.

I will keep watching and update.

Second time today. I think it is a firmware bug maybe, or something else ?

I did a "Factory Reset" and I will watching it for the next days. Third time it will go straight to Sony with the demand of replacement !!!
[Sony Xperia L] NikTh:
Probably the problem resolved.

In short the problem was:

Old SIM card - Incompatible with Xperia L

Solution:

1) Install a newer SIM

2) Run the PC companion - Repair option.

Hello, i have a short question. I just rooted my phone but Im still on 4.1.2. and i want to update it to 4.2.2 .

Can i flash phantoms kernel+modules first, then flash with the stock ftf to 4.2.2 and then install thunder kernels? Are these steps ok?

PS: Thank you very much for your efforts, I really appreciate it. [Hit all thank buttons i found :good:]
[Sony Xperia L] Hackner:
Has no one else noticed the screen tear when playing video? It happens right under the status bar area and only happens wirh the 4.2.2 fw (defnitely software)

from my C2104 using xda app

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

When you flash the new ftf the modules will be overwritten, but for the kernel you can check the box in flash tool so that the kernel stays the same. I recomend you simply to flash the new firmware and redo the root process, seems safer. Just follow the steps on that thread in the ROM section of this forum

I thabked your post accidentally xD
[Sony Xperia L] azntitanik:

Firefox's Bug when posting a picture in Facebook.

Hi again,

I am a user(and a fan) of Firefox and i have seen a bug in my Xperia L when posting on Facebook a picture. I use Firefox to access Facebook.com, i write a new message and i add a picture(a took a new one or from the album), i send it, but it goes duplicated :(.

I want to know if this is another bug for the Xperia L 4.2.2 or it is a Facebook-related, Firefox-related bug.

Thanks in advance, your help will be very important for me cause in case of applying, i will try to report this bug to Mozilla's improvement for Firefox.
[Sony Xperia L] Soumitra.5693:
What do you mean duplicated?

Most probably firefox saves it in another location before uploading and that's why you see the same image twice...

If that is so, you could try putting a .nomedia file in that folder.
[Sony Xperia L] :
Hi, what i mean is that the picture is sent/posted twice in my Facebook. It doesnt show 1 picture, but 2. Those 2 are the same picture. I wrote to Mozilla Nightly(I was using FF 29 for Android), but they said the problem might be Facebook itself. I later used Firefox stable for Android and the same problem.

The other option would be a bug for the Xperia L's software or confirming it is a bug for Facebook.com/Firefox.

I dont want to use the native app for Android. I mostly use Firefox, i visit Facebook's mobile site and i use certain add-ons inside Firefox for privacy concerns.
[Sony Xperia L] Soumitra.5693:
Oh okay! I get it. I used to have a similar problem in my earlier cellphone, but that was due to poor internet. The phone would reconnect and refresh the page, and thus post my comments/photos twice. Maybe you could check on that end as well, with your wifi/cellular internet. :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia L] Mr_Padre:
Hi, i bought a Xperia L for my girlfriend and was working fine until last night the camara was not available.. i was taking photos, then the phone restarted and i couldn t open the camara.

what can I do?

Try to clear cache & data (Settings -> Apps -> Camera -> Clear data & cache)

If this doesn't work try another camera app from the Play Store, if it says the same, your camera is broken.
