[BUG] accessing camera via hardware button and face recognitnion

In my Xperia S (4.1.2 official) when I press the camera button it says "Unfortunately. Facial unlock has stopped", then I cant select "Accept", and I have to press power button - no facial recognition, draw my "unlock pattern"... touchscreen no response. Have to wait several seconds and the phone is ready to unlock via "draw pattern"

For me, its a problem, because its a fast way to take a picture... but it seems there some bug with having facial recognition "on".

Can anyone replicate this?

[BUG] camera button and face recognition=error

Can anyone test this, to mark it as a bug, please?

thank you :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] diceroller:
Same here but also "unknown error" when trying to record video.

Solution thats works for me: Reboot your phone and don't use voice search or google now. Its only happening after im trying use google now.

Video and voice recording should works fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Ohhh I know what you mean now :p, Ok this feature its not included in the stock ICS, its just for the new phones since released after Xperia Z, if you have it before in XS could be caused by a mod, but officially that feature never exist in this phone :p

I have ClearAudio+ turn on, and still doesnt happen to me the volume up bug :p it's very weird for me that I doesn't see this behavior at all

I try facial recognition but works ok, cause I dont like it too much I just try a couple of times, but the far I test it, works fine
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] romuleta:
It was happening in ICS too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Never ever happen these to me in ICS, and I so some factory resets like every 2 - 3 months, because sometimes I "broke" the phone testing some mods and it turns very slow, but never happen that to me, in JB I already do 2 factory resets, and a friend of mine have the same phone, all the times the keyboard go to stock every reboot, in the whole thread a lot of users are complaining about these, didn't happen in ICS for them too :eek:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gloris:
not clearaudio+ in walkman, i mean "ClearPhase" in the phone's sound settings. like i said, it's not a 100% proven link, but i've noticed that since i turned that setting off, i've not had the volume up button bug
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Sorry, for quick reading I read wrong, will activate ChealPhase and see If i had the bug in the day, as I go to school right now will be using volume keys a lot :p, If the bug appears, maybe you have a very interesting point in here :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BoSib:
Actually it´s included in the non included "stamina mode" :silly:

But yes it was a mod that I had on ICS but I still miss it, such a handy tool! ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pistolpet3:
For now I ve noticed only:

-Laggy 1080p recording

-"enable Stamina Mode" info when battery is low

i had LED problem on leaked version but on official JB didnt noticed it so far
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kima_car:
...

Clear Phase is off by default in my phone and I had a volume up button problem...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chefnoob:
Awake bug still present.

Here's the batt stat of my wife's XPV

Btw, do take note of the stats...Now THAT'S battery efficient

Now here my XPS

And YES, mine was a clean install

And NO, the wakes werent caused by Maps, it was Android System.

Got extended batt mode on(but as you can see, it's not working).

Got WiFi set to sleep too when screen off(again, not 100% working)

Epic fail on this one. I wish there's a way to just use XPV rom on our devices.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heart_of_life:
I was pretty satisfied with this update but downgraded to ICS for two reasons :

* WiFi and 2G data are broken in Syria, not just Iran!

* Laggy video recording.

Plz someone help us with this WiFi thing, it was also there with Xperia J update and is not fixed yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] electrash:
2g broken in croatia, i don't have any internet connection in less populated places.

I will wait for fix, if they don't fix i will downgrade tko.

Where did you read that the keyboard go to stock? The notification asks to "choose the default entry method", but the Swiftkey remains working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
Why now the nfc transfers the images by Bluetooth and not by nfc? It's s bug o I don't know what to configure?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Still have a very good battery efficience :eek: with both phones.... or I'm blind but I see pretty good use of battery on both phones

Syria too? nobody complains about this in all the thread :p, seems that its Sony faul, and they are aware of these! planned a bugfix realese

I didnt read it in any place, happen to me and a lot of users, SwiftKey dont remain as the default entry method every reboot, and it desactivate, you need to go to configuracion -> input & keyboard and activate it again!

:eek: NFC never transfers by NFC itself, NFC speed its like 424 kbits/s (the highest, and theoric, in the real life is slower), the Bluetooth its 24 Mb/s (the same theoric, in real life is slower) so NFC what do its pairing the phones and sending files via bluetooth, its always been like these, otherwise via NFC will take months too transfer a video for example :p this is not a bug, and never was it :victory:

I actually flashed my phone and got the super su the problem is I lost the access of my wifi, how can i fixed this??? I use lt26w philippines.ftf
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
Some of the 'issues' I've noted.

[Fail] Paid application widgets are removed from the home screen on each "power off" and have to be replaced on the home screen on each reboot. Workaround is to use Titanium backup and backup,uninstall,restore the application in question. This restores the application to Internal storage. After this application widgets will remain 'pinned' after reboot.

[Fail] Logitech Unifying USB keyboard/mouse no longer work.

Aten USB switch connected to 7 port Targus powered hub, old Dell Wireless keyboard and old Logitech 2.4GHz non-Unifying mouse work.

Sony DK10 media dock still powers and provides USB connections.

[Fail] HDMI 4-into-1 splitter no longer works. Detects HDMI is connected and Sony HDTV screen goes 'snowy' but not picture. HDMI directly to Sony HDTV is fine.

[???] HDMI to DVI cable does not work, but I can not remember if it worked in ICS..I thought it did. Again it detects HDMI connection and shows a snowy screen, but no picture.

Most of these tests were conducted with DooMKernel V1 installed. I know the widget and Logitech keyboard/mouse was not working on all XPERIA S JB releases.

No problem here with that.... configuration -> screen -> the last option you can edit your wallpaper :highfive:

Hi guys. Is there a different screen for the SXS? A friend and I were comparing our SXS and on its screen colors are better. Black is black, blue and other colors are more pronounced. On my black is gray or brownish, as the colors are washed out. The same software, the same settings, all the same. The screen is not bad, but you can see the difference.

When I turn on extended battery mode, alarms apps from playstore like "alarmdroid", "I can't wake up alarm" doesn't work, only sony's default alarm work... When I turn extended battery mode off, those alarms apps work fine... Is that normal or it's a bug or maybe those apps form playstore just need to be updated? Thanx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Today, I disabled clearphase (it actually make it sound worst) and the volume up bug didn't appear.

Normal. Not a bug. Extended Standby disables background apps after 10 minutes of no activity.

Except stock Sony services and telecommunications.

Do a clean install. I do not have this problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] grgana:
hi ive allso noticed that battery drain is caused by google service, after screen wich is main consumer of the battery,

when go to:

settings-aplications-all in every app there is a box with ticked "show notification" is it safe too untick them??

maybee they are related with wakelocks and battery draining??

ps im on DoomLord .200 preerooted, BL locked

also noticed that keyoboard is sometimes litlle lagy letters comes with a small delay
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kima_car:
...

So I guess I won't using extended battery mode 'cause I realy like alarmdroid app instead of stock sony's alarm... Does extended battery mode realy helpful as a battery saver? I never leave data or wi-fi on when I'm not using it, so is it realy helpful for me or not? Thanx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Strayckler:
It just turns off your WiFi off after the screen goes off for 10 minutes. If you use FB to talk, for example, its not useful. I wouldn't say that it gives a big difference too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kima_car:
...

Ya, I think extended battery mode is not helpful so much... I'm gonna try Snapdragon Battery Guru app from playstore, it's made for our chip to save battery, but that app require google location service to run, so I don't know how's that gonna save my battery... Anyone using Battery Guru and notice some juice saved? :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Had it for around a week, and found no really upgrade in battery life.

Get around 20% drain a day in standby with wifi/3g off.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kima_car:

So you think is better without battery guru? Have ypu try juice defender? Does any of those app saves battery or is it better not to install them?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FilexUnderground:
I can confirm [MENTION=626795]sometimes[/MENTION] the LED stays on all the time (for example with a full charge and disconnect, the LED stays on, a reboot will fix these)

Reboot fixes :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chefnoob:
My XPS used up 11% of juice in 8 hours...while I was asleep! (notice screen activity, less than 2min)

The XPV used 19% in 19hours (and that includes about an hour screen time)

I think that says alot.

Spec-wise, theyre almost similar with 1750mah battery.

I just dont get how a phone with a faster processor can out-do the XPS when it comes to battery stamina.

IMO, thats just poor codework.

Maybe they let the trainees do the updates on the XPS? :rolleyes:

I tried juice defender ultimate before...

Didnt notice any difference. Phone still keeps waking up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rajeev:
Juice Defender also a battery eater...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Try turning off WiFi and put Extended Standby on. It works effectively as I got only 3% battery drop.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nagoyablue:
The waking is caused by google now, i think. I've turned it off to check.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Did not note any difference with or without Guru in daily use.

Tryed JD in the early days of the phone, and found mostly problems with it. Did not feel any difference with it, and still have a decent battery life without, so have no reason to use any battery saving apps that don't make a difference to me.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonus:
This is so frustrating, I can't even update... PC Companion never gets past Step "2. Prepare" my phone simply reboots, and then then PC companion prompts me to turn the phone off and then press and hold volume down while plugging the phone into the computer...Unfortunately besides the LED showing green nothing ever happens other then the Sony logo popping up and the phone just charging. My phone is at 90% charge and works perfectly otherwise.

Any advice?

EDIT: Switching to a 32bit computer running Windows 7 solved my issue. My guess is that the flash driver Sony provides (at least for the Xperia SL) either isn't 64bit or doesn't support Win 8.

If you're charging the phone while turned off and then you turn it on, it won't keep charging until you disconect and reconnect the cable.... isn't very serious problem, but pretty annoying

i know this isn't the right thread to ask this but it's the closest i could find. Is anyone else having the issue that, since the JB update, the app Illumination bar notification isn't working? i really miss it because my notification led is broken.

OT: When i set an alarm to go off everyday, it just goes off once, and then have to set it again manually. Bug? :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keewanchoapsss:
I posted about this before and I understand no one replied, it's a fault that only I seem to be having then I guess? Anyway, my screen keeps long pressing itself, my home button, menu and back button are long pressing ALL the time causing major annoyances with the use of the phone. I enabled "show touches" in developer opens and at times I'll touch the screen and the shown touch just stays there, it's doing it all the time. The phone has almost become impossible to use, .200 has been a nightmare but no one else has posted this issue, I came straight from .55 through PCC and kept all my apps and everything. It's become a joke though.

I was just wondering if ANYONE is suffering this at all (I did a search an nothing came up) and if so, is there something to fix this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Also working on my Windows 8, lazy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
I read a long time ago in Xperia Blog that yes, the XS had differnt time of screens (like 2 or 3), have a look there, maybe you cand find it :p

That must be a problem of the forum, not the browser, in fact actually in Chrome in my laptop I see some things out of place... I dont know why, since yesterday :p

No problem with Media :p

yes is safe, the only thing that its going to do, its not to show you the notification in the status bar, the rest will be the same

I have win7 64 bits, no problem at all, in the support page of sony PCC its compatible with win8

How do you know? the support page says that its compatible, I believe only RT versions are not compatible

App illumination its not working right now, that its fault of the app itself, so concerns to the developer, about the alarm, do you already chech the days you want the alarm work?

in the whole thread nobody suffer from this :eek:, that happen to me sometimes in ICS, but I just turn off the screen and clean the phone, and that works fine, at the moment doesnt have this behavior, try to do a clean install :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Late Scapegoat:
I can comfirm these 2:

I just unplugged my charger after a full charge, LED staid on.

As for the 2G, even though I get the 'G' or 'E' with the little arrows, it's so slow that I can't tell whether it's really connected or not.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chefnoob:
I set the wifi to sleep when screen is off and i got extended battery on but those two are clearly not working.

I could turn it off manually and im pretty sure that will make a difference but my point here is that their features just dont work; with those two settings active it should do it automatically.

Its very frustrating seeing another sony phone working to expectations while my XPS performs like a china-made generic phone. One kinda gets the feeling that it being neglected.

Another minor bug

Hello everyone...

I have an Acro S with stock rom. Updated to .200 JB from Sony PCC

Besides the familiar 1080p and 720p laggy recording...

I have found a minor bug in settings...

Go down to "Location Services" > now tap "Access to my Location" but NOT on the switch... and SETTINGS will crash and it will turn all your location services off..

Again this is a minor one, but its there...

Also after updating, my Bluetooth Keyboard (Logitech K810) struggles to re-connect. And being design as a keyboard to connect and disconnect in order to switch between 3 BT devices... it defeats the purpose of it... In order to make it connect again, I have to toggle BT on my Acro S... and sometimes even reboot...

Also I can confirm the choppiness on HDMI video out... I was used to being a tad laggy, but now its worse

I have noticed that after update, when Microphone noise suppression is activated voice quality is worse then a tin can.

So after disabling it, microphone works great. (people who I have spoke on a phone said its better then before)

So I did little check with Skype Call Test. In case when Microphone noise suppression is activated my call sounds really terrible, and when disabled sounds good.

So this is another bug for the list.

Also some calls get dropped without any identification on phones screen. So phone acts like nothing is happening at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Still no fix at the moment :´(

That's is normal, you just have to slide down your finger in the walkman app (like you can do in a lot of notifications like whatsapp, gmail, 4sq, etc...) and you will get full controls :p

Funny! I didn't notice this at all, happen in XS too :/

Will check this!
