I don't know if i'm the only one with this bugs, but my camera cant focus on far objects, and video focus doesn't appear at all when its dark.

The second thing is that at night both photos and videos are very dark, on ICS I was able to take a night picture of the street with lights, from a distancance, but now it doesn't even catch the light. I will make a comparison when I will have time

Regarding the Swiftkey bug - this was present for me in 6.2.B.2.0.0, but after I flashed Doom's .211 pre-rooted rom (locked bootloader) the bug has disappeared. Fixed when I restore my apps with Nandroid Manager. :good:

Again, .211 solved this for me. :highfive:

Easy fix. Use "short" or "long" vibrate options. Also - the default option seems to work fine for me, again on .211

New Issue I discovered the other day - If you have headphones in and pull them out quickly while music is playing, phone fails to register that headphones have been removed, until you plug them in again and pull them out properly. :eek:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skip0pot2mus:
I confirm. Though I am still on .200 [this thread is a mess, should be a seperate thread for the 211 release no?]

This headphone problem appeared in the early ICS builds, and was cured in .50-55 I think. Stupidly annoying bug that even a reboot doesn't cure.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] peymayesh:
But in ICS it work perfectly, without any problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skip0pot2mus:
With .200 it seems that google+ no longer auto backs up pictures, could be something to do with the extended battery mode, but I have checked the option to only upload when charging, but it doesn't. And if I "force" all data backup, it starts from image 1! so want's to upload 4 gig of images that are already backed up.

EDIT

Solved, deleted google+ user data and restarted it, seems to have sorted itself out.

Battery drain issue has no solution. it's draining at the rate of 3X after .211 update :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Still no solution for the volume up bug, but so far I dind't have this bug, so its pretty strange, do you do a clean install???

This is a problem caused by the mode itself, its not a bug of the firmware, as it change a lot of things the mod may carrupt some other things, the simple solution is not to use this mod

The bug fixes because you restore your apps with Nandroid manager, with .200 happen the same behavior, or restore with Titanium will cause the same effect

I dont see the need of 2 threads, why keeping the bugs for a "old" firmware? for me is better have only one thread, besides in the main thread I Keep the bugs in .200 and still are present in .211, the already fixed bugs go to the Hide section (as you can see, so far only the WiFi issue seems to be fixed......), as they're fixed already, so dont need to keep them there, if someone whant to know, they're still there... but hide to make no mess

The same from above :silly:

LOL, More than a firmware bug i believe they removed this, because come on, who need a timer to ring in 30 seconds???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nagoyablue:
Do you have Google Now turned on? If so, that's your problem. Drained an extra 15% out of my battery in 12 hours!

Also, did you delete everything and do a clean install? If not, that might be the cause. .211 won't be the problem, something else on your phone is.

I have just talked to an agent from Xperia UK and told them about the bugs in the Jelly Bean software. I mentioned the 1080p recording, the volume up bug, the purple tint photos, the device administrator issue and I also asked them about WiFi Direct. They told me that my feedback has been passed on to the development team. Hopefully, they will take a look at the issues and solve them quickly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] indesisiv:
The simple solution to your default keyboard resetting is this:

Backup the keyboard (I use my backup root/pro) but titanium backup will do to.

Uninstall the keyboard.

Find the apk backup you have and install it (do not do a restore)

Set it as your default keyboard

Restart your phone and it still stays set as default!

Well, it's more than complaining on XDA or other unofficial websites.

volume up is ok,also was in .200

whatsapp's vibrate and sound is ok

for me approximately every thing works fine

Is it, really, though?

True, true, hope springs eternal. Who knows, maybe this time we actually get an update that addresses problems. When that happens, though, therein lies the real question, since it's obvious their resources have recently been directed towards T, V and Z.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
HDMI fails on 720p 16:9 output

Sony XPERIA LT26i 6.2.B.0.211

16:9 HDMI output displayed videos ( mkv[H.264,AC3]@720p ) using HW acceleration only display in the monitor/TV at 4:3.

I have tested this with BSPlayer and MX Player Pro.

This appears to be a problem with HW acceleration on the HDMI output port, because if you 'tap out' HW for SW encoding the display is corrected to 16:9.

The problem with SW encoding is that it's not able to display the output, as the lag means you can't watch the video... unless of course you like watching movies frame by frame.

I've seen this in old Android v2.2 devices where HW acc was not correctly implemented or unavailable.

When HDMI is connected to display 'standard' output to a monitor/TV the screen resolution is correct and correctly sizes to a 16:9 screen.

It's just videos with HW acceleration enabled, that fail to correctly size to a 16:9 screen.

So... kiss goodbye to watching any 16:9 videos via HDMI on an XPERIA LT26i

[update]

Oh, just in case you don't thing I tried hard enough to 'fix' this, on some TVs there is a 'wide zoom' mode which takes 4:3 to 16:9, but on my 24" IPS Full-HD monitor there is no aspect ratio setting to correct this. You can't correct this in the Android application either as the aspect ratio setting in the video player applications are just ignored when in HW acceleration mode. Switch to SW encoding and you can modify the aspect ratio....but the video is un-watchable with SW encoding.

Summary

Sony XPERIA LT26i 6.2.B.0.211

16:9 HDMI output video with HW acceleration enabled is NOT CORRECT and displays at 4:3

16:9 HDMI output video with SW encoding displays correctly (16:9), but without HW acceleration the video lags so much you can't watch it.

many bugs still not fixing

one example when you play music the music suspending and the pause for temporarily time

I think Sony need to focus on memory management to solve crashing and suspending problems

Also, Font option is not included and I recommended by this features to the company many times
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mister-g1:
I also found 4 Bugs in .211:

- When longpressing on text you aren't able to select/copy text. The new magnifier bulb appears and you have no chance to select some text..

- Viewing synced Facebook contacts in the phonebook lets it FC (this was also present in .200)

- After a specific amount of time recording video, the audio gets a little asynchronus. It's about after 10 to 15 minutes recording time. (noticed while recording 720p video)

- The camera buttons are hidden behind navigation bar if enabled (not a real bug because the navbar is no stock element) See attached screenshot.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BoSib:
In this 1 year "planned obsolescence" world, I'm afraid Sony has already moved on, they want you to buy the latest model not fiddle around with your "obsolete" XS.

This not something unique to Sony, all the major companies do this! All they want is your money and 1 year of fanboyism.

In other words: To avoid that the average user (not us :D ) keeps their phone longer than 1 year and thus not generating any income for them, the companies wont really be developing for anything older than 6 months and certainly not for devices that are 12 months+ old.

Thanks. I'm definitely getting another Xperia. Thanks for your advice.

Anyways, the moderators made it very clear ranting towards Sony is prohibited here. Just hope the moderators punish you to the maximum penalty.

The JB update is smooth and fluid. Unlike other manufacturers, Sony bothers to upgrade all phones except the 4. I have been using JB and it's the most stable, bug free (almost) ROM I ever used. Aside for the camera 1080p recording, Sony did a wonderful job. My next phone will be a Sony. I'm confident Sony will fix the 1080p bug. And to those ding dongs who flashed the unofficial update and started to blame everyone that your 2G couldn't work, get out of here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ler01:
Since I've updated to .200 and to .211 I'm experiencing following problems:

sometimes phone don't charge to 100% but stops on 93%(sometimes it's 92 or 94) and it can be charged to 100% only after reboot.

gprs/edge internet works very unstable: some apps can have internet in the moment while other can't for example maps can download with no problem while browser can't download any page and in next 10 minutes browser starts to work ok

if in camera settings setup quick launch option to take a picture it would take a picture even if I launch a camera from lockscreen slider

sometimes when phone is been sleeping for a while camera wont launch from holding camera button

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mhyke13ph:
Additional to Bugs/Change list

Excessive Home Redraws

External Speaker is not as loud as before

Holding down the shutter key when the phone is on, will now activate quick launch, than just launching the app, so pressing the menu will exit the quick launch and will freeze with a black screen

There's Lag in homescreen or when scrolling in menus

Sometimes Music Stutters when browsing(built in browser)

Playing Video on MX Player(or other player) the video lags when adjusting volume/brightness

Bugs that Disappear

Volume Up Bug

Disappearance of Shortcuts in Folder from homescreen

Im still using .200, we don't have .211 here yet(or is it regional update?), but im still hoping that they will release an update that will fix all current bugs specially the important one.

Has anyone else problems with the screen not turning off while calling someone? I always end up in a random menu after lowering the phone from my ear.

workaround for paid widgets / keyboard dissapearing after reboot

workaround for paid widgets / keyboard dissapearing after reboot

Turns out this is a jellybean 4.1 bug, fixed in 4.1.2/4.2.2 so not just us Xperia S users suffering from it

Bug:

Paid widgets dissapear from homescreen after reboot

Keyboard reset to default after reboot

Bug is due to timing of mounting /mnt/asec during boot, and paid appskeyboards being installed to /mnt/asec

Workaround (must be rooted):

Use titanium backup to backup, uninstall, then restore data+apk of application/keyboard

this should install app/keyboard outside of /mnt/asec

After update/install from playstore you must apply the workaround again

just tested myself and it seems to be ok

hope it helps you too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mister-g1:
I quote myself because I found a solution for this. To select text you can either longpress on it in some situation or double tap on it in most situations. That way you get the selection tools and also the action bar for copying/cutting/pasting..

I always had a similar problem with my XS.. When I call someone, the display turns off but sometimes doesn't turn on again to end the call. So I turned on "On/Off switch ends call" in accessibility options. I also found out, that the screen can be turned on by pressing the volume or camera buttons.. I know that this is not exactly your problem but maybe it helps.

Yeah, especially after using Chrome or Facebook. Drives me nuts. Dual core processor and 1GB RAM shouldn't have this problem......ICS was better for this!

I'm on JB 200 still, is 211 better for re-draws?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
ICS was so not better. I was having the same redraw issues, it's a RAM issue, not a firmware issue. Chrome and most browsers go through memory like a fat man in a buffet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nagoyablue:
I don't remember having the same trouble with ICS at all. In fact, I stayed on the Xperia home launcher on ICS due to it not really having any issues with re-drawing. Since upgrading to JB 200, I've changed from Xperia home launcher to Holo launcher, and finally, Lightning launcher to try and reduce the redraws. It's deffo worse.

I'm confident ICS redraws much more compared to JB. JB is just flawless in the smoothness department, though they really need to work on the video recording.

Those having Google Now issues where it simply don't work, please understand Google Now doesn't work in all countries or if you have a thick accent.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nagoyablue:
My JB isn't. It is much worse for redrawing than ICS was, until I used the mod above. Now it's perfect.

Be aware that I have a Japanese Acro HD (Acro S), with a nordic version of JB 200 on it, rooted, with many apps different to those you have installed. In other words, my situation is very different to yours. I had no real problem with redraws on ICS (Docomo ICS .45), but lots on 200 JB. You seem to have had the opposite situation. Doesn't mean either of us is wrong, just that our experience is different. Also, I'm not the only one complaining of redraws on 200 JB.

For me 2G is still unusable im my office. As I stated out in other places (other mobile cells) 2G sometimes works. Therefore I returned to ICS .55

Already know about this, also apply for the widgets, but thanks :p

Thanks, as I dont use HDMI didn't notice this, will try, but will add it anyway :good:

I see that about selecting text is a problem for a lot of people, also I see you found the solution by yourself :highfive: LOL, I dont have problem with the Facebook contact in phonebook, but will try it, about the camera buttons well as you said its not a bug :p

You are the first about dont get a full charge, at least the first that say it here, the camera problem are since ICS :/

Yes even with nova launcher (are less than with stock but still is sometimes annoying)

Try to install the ICS version :p

Here's a simple fix for the swiftkey getting reset back to default keyboard:

Make swiftkey into a system app with link2sd or titanium backup. The OP method is rather obscure and misleading. Original author wrote that you need to backup the actual APK somewhere manually and then you uninstall swifkey after which you run the apk you copied away.

Works but 1st problem is identifying the APK file. Turning swiftkey into a system app is pretty much one click solution.

There is no difference when starting cam app on active or sleeping phone. Anyone got any solutions to this?

Vol up button bug: did get it once - in my opinion it has to do something with sony "loud volume can damage..." warning. I was pressing vol up button, then the warning came on and ive pressed vol up button few more times before closing warning. At this time bug occured.
