[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Barleyman:
There is a problem with SIM pin code lock repeatedly crashing at startup with com.android.phone process barfing. This seems to be a problem with prerooted d00m .211 firmware, not Sony's vanilla .211.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

It seems this problem is also caused by the D00M prerooted FW. Flashing stock .211 (and rooting + CWM) does not have this issue with swiftkey.

I wouldn't call the XPS JB flawlessly smooth...XV or XZ on the other hand...now that's a definition of smooth.

Also google now works perfectly on the XZ and XV but is buggy on the XS...even on same versions. I say its fw issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
There's zero need to rebut me point by point. 6.2.B.0.200 is smooth. It scrolls fluidly, animations draws smoothly. That's my definition of smooth. And Google Now, it works for me. I will never lie to appease you. And here's another truth. I can guarantee my next phone will be a Sony. Sony done an awesome job with the update, if you discount the camera. Great job, Sony.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lerijiso:
I'm using stock .200 and the home screen is redrawing like mad.

Update: I've personally flashed GB to try the camera and use it for a while..and while im using, i experience no redraws.

Then later I flashed ICS. Also, no redraws while i'm using it.

Then updated to JB and while im using the camera, i experience homescreen redraws several times whenever im going from the camera to my home screen.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chefnoob:
Funny...you know the saying practice before you preach?

Oh Im not doubting Sony's ability to make good phones. If I did, i wouldn't buy the XV and the XZ. What I don't like is their aftermarket service...but then again, I fully accepted the fact that they won't be coming out with good updates for their old phones. Its a simple fact really...business is business. If people want to sugar coat cow dung, then I don't really care.

Im just happy for you that amongst us mortals, you were the who was bestowed with the "super phone"!

For us unlucky ones, then I guess we just have to accept that we need to upgrade.

Is somebody experiencing download bug/failed when downloading files over 500mb?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
Last year, Sony always bragged the Xperia S for its camera capabilities especially its Full HD 1080p recording, and what is it now? :|
[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. Has anyone a fix for this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G.Trenchev:
So bugs are not fixed in .211?So lame it's terrible...

Is there another update in the works?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Barleyman:
Try installing vanilla firmware, not doom prerooted + cwm.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rawimage:
I didn't have any problems with disappearing widgets or settings (SwiftKey) before. But the other day I read about booting into Safe mode and I just had to try it out.

Well I shouldn't have done that.

Now I do have the problems.

I've tried a few reboots but every time I have to add SwiftKey, my widgets and also my accounts for Dropbox and Twitter.

Oh man, I was so happy, my XS had no problems except for the 1080 video recording bug, but now I've got this and it's very time consuming every time I reboot.

I'm running the official .200 software and no root or unlocked BL.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Galaxen:
I've had this issue with 197 leak, 200 official stock no root/cwm and v1-2 eXistenZ so I don't think that'll help in the long run. Just read rawimages post.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Does anyone know of any way to avoid or workaround the volume up bug? It's the worst thing ever and it happens on every JB rom for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Barleyman:
Still going strong here. Safe mode does not sound like something you should ordinarily ever use whereas prerooted FW misbehaved right away. Did you wipe data between 197 > 200 > 211?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SSyar:
well GoSMS with vibrations is working for me.,.,. i am on 0.211
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lord Takyon:
To people having issues with power button not working on first press to activate screen, do you use any kind of screen locking software? I use screen off and lock and had this issue.

Anyway, I grabbed several versions of the lockscreen and found that one from the z works much better. I only get the issue maybe 10% of the time now.

Not sure which version I'm using but I can post it if required.

JB walkman issue?

Apparently JB Walkman has problems playing music files encoded with itunes. Weird as ICS Walkman has no issues at all. I'm on Trinity Vengeance ROM(not stock but close enough)

When I was playing music with the Walkman, the player suddenly freezes up when it's attempting to play this song : https://soundcloud.com/nickraymondg/royskopp-susanne-sundfor (don't worry the song is free to download from the creator)

It freezes up a few minutes for the song to start playing. After pausing the song the phone rebooted itself after a minute or so.

I have not experienced this issue with other music players either on the pc or phone so it definitely something wrong with Walkman.

I checked that music file and saw the line : encoded with itunes 10.1. After deleting that line the file played immediately without a hitch and displayed the album art(it didn't show up before this)

Edit : Looks like the problem is in the file name not the encoding :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lerijiso:
I'll try it and report back.

EDIT: No problem playing it first time using Walkman. It displayed the album art as well.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stupidest:
Looks like you're right, the odd letters on the file name is what causes Walkman to behave weirdly, changed the file name and it worked again.

I took another music file and add an odd letter in it and Walkman fails to play it. I think there is the problem
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lerijiso:
Ahh..I see..glad it helps. That was just a wild guess because I've heard somewhere that sometimes the system are having a hard time interpreting odd characters in music tags. In certain cases might even drain excessive battery and causes android system or media server to misbehave.

But I don't have issues playing that file though using walkman. Im using stock .211
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stupidest:
I changed the file name before so I guess that's why :silly:

But I didn't had this problem in ICS, new discovered bug maybe?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nagoyablue:
Home screen redrwing is driving me nuts. Well, widget redrawing, to be more precise. I fixed the home screen redraws by using Xposed installer and making the home screen resident in the memory. But now my widgets redraw all the bloody time. Considering it's my most hated of Android characteristics, I'm seriously considering going back to ICS. It's so annoying, I can't really see what the advantage of JB is now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nagoyablue:
I've also tried to download some torrents (of stuff I actually own, before anyone starts), but they cause .200 JB to crash every time. With 3 different clients.

I have a solution to the microphone google now bug, clean install doesn't help.

1. go to Google Search application settings, remove the updates, clean cache, data

2. do the same with Google Voice Search (com.google.voicesearch or something similar)

3. restart

4. install the updates from Play

5. go to Settings/Applications/All apps, select options, then the reset app data option

6. restart

7. enjoy

I have the power button problem too

Can you post the lock screen you use?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
I had the swiftkey bug (wouldn't stay as default after a reboot)...

pulling the sim card, starting the phone, turning it back off, reinstalling sim...starting phone...and its fixed...

I don't know what it is about booting an Ion without a sim card...but for some reason its fixed multiple bugs for me, including this one...5 restarts since, haven't had anything but swift key as my default key board...

so far no other noticeable bugs on my end...although, not sure if its a bug, or i'm an idiot...but turning off the alarm after its snoozed is strange...you sometimes get the option in notifications...sometimes don't...same with gmail...i don't always have the archive/reply option in the notification shade...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bwyan Benton:
You know what puzzles me? Sony takes so long to release updates for there phones...and that's fine (to an extent). But what bugs me is there reasoning for taking so long is to do there testing and make sure its a good release for the users.....then they go and drop a release and heres all these damn bugs and flaws.....my point is, what the hell exactly is Sony testing before release? Some of these problems are so obvious, yet there released unfixed. But Im not gonna just call Sony down, because HTC and Samsung do the exact same thing.

But for example the 1080p video recording, can they not see it lags???? Don't tell me they cannot fix that! its complete BS!

Go all the way back the X10...when they finally released GB for it, they left the video recording in a unusable state...the recording volume was so low you could barely hear it on playback....THEY NEVER FIXED THAT!! Guess who did fix it? XDA!

Im done with my rant
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
i was looking for this thread, can only find the official jb thread in general section.. but so, here's my thought about bugs in xs:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42990334&postcount=1079

and in addition, i dont have power button problem too. still if you have that, u can try to change to use other buttons to wake. you're in xda-dev. learn things!! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Yes its a know bug, I'm using right now Nova Launcher and works... great,, i have some redraws but are like only after heavy use, give it a try

For the knowledge I have seems a problem in the Google framework, its already fixed in new versions, but sony has to update it, or the android market has to install in a diffent way paid apps, a fix for this is making the app affected as a system app

So far there is the rummor of a update but only to fix the NFC problem when sending something to another device, dont know what else will include

Its a problem in the framework as far I know, when you activate the safe mode all your installed apps go away, and maybe that helps that now you have this bug, when I update from ICS to JB doesnt happen to me too...

strange solution, honestly I think its a very rare coincidence :p, the problem is in the framework... but sometimes I reboot and the keyboard is still swiftkey, I preffer to make them system apps, with that never dissappear :p

about the archive/reply option you have to slice your finger down in the notification to get those buttons!, but sometimes it doesnt appear, for example if you have 2 notification of mail!

thanks for late answer my laptop get steal :( so its hard to answer now, but Im still pending on these! :D

Crashes and reboots

Does anybody have the problem where every 40 hours or so their phone crashes completely and restarts? and then it gets stuck on booting, so it switches off again then boots again... and so on? i have no idea what is causing this. i had taken nandroid backups but even when i restored them and rebooted, the phone crashed on the boot screen.

I have had to reset my phone 6 times now and it is the only thing that works atm. i think i will now have to flash back to ICS.

I have a rooted xperia s 6.2.b.0.211 (rooted using doomkernel's easy root toolkit v14)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lerijiso:
LOL..Is it because you have Scorpions in your username?

Anyway, to revert back to ICS, first you can download the ICS .ftf file for your device and use Flashtool to flash the ftf file.

Download the latest flashtool from here> http://androxyde.github.io/

Use this as guide> http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0

It has lists of ICS firmwares and guide to roll back to ICS.

I have a bug to report. I am living in Belgium, most internet-providers (still) have data limit here. I also have a provider with data limit, and what it does it logs you off automatically every 2-3 hours. Then you have to log back in by opening your browser and a random website which then redirects you to a login page. The bug with JB .211 is when I get logged off, it goes over to data traffic (from mobile internet provider). You then have to wait about 30 tot 60 minutes before it recognizes the wifi and asks if you wanna sign in again.. :confused:., even rebooting won´t help!

A shame heard that, hope with my school mail doesnt happen that, because they use outlook premium and seems that it requires special permissions, will try later

Also notice Stamina Mode, i dont get to SwiftKey keyboard stay as predeterminated every time I reboot, I dont know what configuation could be?, I uninstal and install it again with the same configuration that I have in ICS, but it seems it cant stay as predeterminated

I have locked bootloader, so at the moment not root for me, besides... it should work without making widgets system apps, isn't it? soits a solution but for those who can root the phone :(

BT Audio is screwed for me.

If I connect my headphones thru my MW600 the sound is just awful. It's very thin and the equalizer doesn't do anything.

If I un-tick the xLoud and Clearsound it will improve. But these should only affect the external speaker right?

The equalizer still doesn't work.

BUT, if I connect same headphones directly to the phone everything works great. I can keep xLoud and Clearaudio active.

Having a purple haze with photo when taken with flash, anyone have the same problem ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Another widget that use apart form gmail? that is from system so it stays every reboot, try with beatiful widgets for example... they dissapear

Will try Bluetooth audio later and see what happens

----- UPDATE ------

Already try bluetooth with my laptop, works very well, the audio quality its acceptable for me, pretty good, the equalizer works fine, and even the ClearAudio+ works fine

This problem its since Doomlords leaks firmwares, I read a lot of this bug, but I still dont have the problem

Annoying bug that one with swiftkey, still dont try kaspersky, the fast solution its make this system apps with titanium, but I have locked bootloader so can do this right now...

Me too have this bug, already try with camera+ and another cameras, the bug persists so I think its something related to the Kernel... its hard to think we are going to have a bugfix fot this :(

Hello, Acro S user here...

The only problem I have so far is laggy video recording (both 720p and 1080p) I CAN'T LIVE WITH THAT, SONY FIX THIS ASAP :C

Performance wise it's super smooth, phone quickly turns on from sleep. Shutdown time is much slower though.

SOME UI animations are laggy, not smooth. Like the screen rotation animation and that cool animation when you open an app from home.

Sound recording and maps

I have two main issues:

- Sound recording is broken. The mic works fine as talking works, but the system cannot capture sounds past a couple minutes or so

- That means that voice search doesn't works. If you reboot the phone, the first five minutes or so it will work ok, but after that, every time you select "voice search" or longpress mic button on a headphone it will automatically fail.

- Maps consumption seems associated with "google now" and "localization services". After disabling GPS the battery consumption stabilized. Before that I could literally see the battery going down (about a percentile per minute when screen on, a percentile each five minutes with screen off). Still, it does consume by default more battery than previous rom version. Today I'm doing field work so I will see if it really is a problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Oops sorry about that, so I believe the only solution for the moment in your case is:

- Remove Sim

- Use Wi-Fi in airplane mode

Did you try a fresh install? many users are reporting problems with the recording, but i dont have that problem at all :eek: , GMaps seems that are problem related to Google instead of this firmware
