[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Ok Sony released today .211 Firmware, so for those who already update to this latest build, what are the fixes?, what is still present?

I will update my phone in the weekend because right now I dont have too much time :p

Bugs:

IMPORTANT

Laggy 1080p or even 720p recording video

Activating the camera, then pressing menu button gives you a little freeze with a black screen

Paid apps [Keyboards & Widgets mainly] every reboot has a strange behavior, keyboard change to stock and widgets sometimes dissapear from the launcher

Solution:

This is a problem that many phones have it, not only this FW as you can see in this SwiftKey forum support:

http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/116693-2-bug-reports/suggestions/3017556-reverts-to-default-keyboard-at-reboot-restart

A workaround solution is to backup (with titanium for example) your APK that have this situation, then delete the original app and locate the APK and install it, this will fix the issue with both, keyboards and widgets :good:

Taking a photograph with the flash ON produce a "purple filter effect" in the photo

Solution:

(Open Camera > Normal Mode > Options > White Balance > Select any other than WB AUTO seems to fix these issue, thanks abhik2012 & Peter_95)

Less important, but still need attention!!

Whatsapp (And GoSMS?) doesn't vibrate with sound and predetermined option in notifications

Sometimes the LED stays on all the time (for example with a full charge and disconnect, the LED stays on, a reboot will fix these)

Many users reporting problems with microphone, sometimes Google Now doesn't work for this situation (clean install?, update from ICS?)

Walkman app sometimes stop playing music with web browsing, even sometimes without doing anything the music just stop

After a call, if the other person hangs up, the screen will stay ON but showing nothing (just black, seems that pattern unlock must be enabled) [NEW!]

Try too turn off screen with power button doesn't seem to work sometimes (doesnt happen for me... yet)

When low battery it says "enable Stamina Mode" besides there is no Stamina Mode in this phone :p

Volume up button sometimes seems it doesn't work at all

2G networks doesn't connect (People reporting these, have you configured your APN's correctly?) There is a possible solution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42123150#post42123150 here, who wants to try it? and report it back of course

16:9 HDMI output video with HW acceleration enabled displays at 4:3

Solution?:

16:9 HDMI output video with SW encoding displays correctly (16:9), but without HW acceleration the video its almost impossible to watch [thanks Dr Goodvibes]

Backup & restore doesnt let you backup only works for apps downloaded from the market with USB-OTG (intentionally?)*

Solution:

Install old ICS Backup & Restore and have fun :cool:

Download:

Backup & Restore From ICS

[Thanks Marsou77]

Live Wallpapers sometimes just disappear showing only a black wallpaper, they return later from the shadows without doing anything, Sometimes in the reboot go back to the stock wallpaper

Possible solution:

If your Live wallpaper its a paid version, its likely that the solution for the widgets & keyboard will work too :fingers-crossed:

Corporate E-mails accounts doesnt work, seems because they require encryption, that's its implemented, but not funcional, so it fails

Possible solution:

Going to Settings -> Location service -> tapping "Acces to my location" (not the toggle) will cause a Force close in settings

Image:

Front camera formats Switched (4:3 shows a 16:9 format, and 16:9 format shows a 4:3)

Image:

Launcher redraws too many times

Need to confirm / More details

Poor signal or not signal at all sometimes / Mobile Data slow compared to ICS

"Bugs that are not really bugs" (so stop complaining about these :p)

Color LED for SMS and Gmail now its a "strange" White (before was green) this is not a bug, just a change in the color

Facebook, XDA app, Games, etc.... seems working slow or with glitches sometimes (these are app related bugs, not Sony firmware fault)

Google maps services draining a lot of battery (Google's fault, nothing related to this firmware)

"I cant select text anymore because it appears the magnifier" This is not a bug, that is how it works, if you want to select text doble quick tap will show the text selector :good:

Bugs only in .200 Firmware!, no present in .211

[*] Wi-Fi not working in Iran (and Sirya?) (Sony already are aware of these and a bug fix its coming week 23 - 24) (Seems that in order to use Wi-Fi you need to be in Airplane mode or take out the SIM card :eek:) [Fixed in .211]

:rolleyes:

~Updates~

Sony already launch the update, so tell me what is still wrong? :rolleyes:

These bugs sometimes doesnt appear in all phones, for example if you just upgrade from ICS via PCC the keyboard bug doesn't appear, but if you make a clean install with SEUS, it appears...

Have you found another, or a fix to solve these? :highfive:

Some photos of the bugs here mentioned

Stamina Mode?

Purple tint effect with flash

Same photo without flash & without that purple effect

Some Widgets dissapear after reboot the phone...

Before turn it off

After reboot

(I'm using Nova Launcher, but happens with stock launcher too, already tested)

SwiftKey Keyboard After reboot desactivated (Still missing trying with another Keyboards like Swype)
