Do you want to try re-downloading the ZIp ad trying it again? Maybe your download was corrupted?

On what bug do you focus now?(not asking eta's but just to have an idea)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] t.daun:
ALS

... is working in OpenSEMC RC2, but the light settings (steps) have to be corrected. Mainly the settings for lowest light are too low. Maybe thats why it appears, that the screen is really too dark when unlocking screen. Light sensor is not reacting till getting more light onto it (resp. hold the phone under light.

Under Slimbean the ALS works nearly perfect, with the right light curve (set via hw_config).

Well, I'm still working on video driver. I thought I obtained what I wanted, using 4.3 adreno proprietaries, with the bonus of having Subway Surfers issue and probably more like Sygic fixed, but I lost camera preview in the process. Still trying to understand why and fix it.

I integrated the new proprietaries from 1.96. they indeed fix the 1080p problem, I'm still waiting for Sony source code to add the other fixes they added in kernel.

If I can fix this preview release and add these kernel fixes, I'll do another alpha and see what will be next.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Really waiting for the new Alpha. I will install it as soon as it is out and replace the stock ROM as from what I read this ROM looks ok as a daily driver (correct me if I'm wrong).

Hope Sony will release the sources very soon. Thanks letama for your work :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
install it now. it's perfectly fine
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Thank you for your comment but I'd rather wait a bit in order to have the latest fixes (such as camera fixes, kernel and so on) and I prefer to flash it once instead having to reflash when the new alpha is released. ;)

So no one is experiencing problems with GPS?

I don't get a GPS fix, it's not working. :crying:

[MENTION=834547]letama[/MENTION] do you have an idea or something that I should provide? (logcat)?

It seems to me, that GPS is influencing the radio (mobile signal and mobile data).

If I'm on 'H' and I switch on an app which uses GPS, the mobile data connection is lost and then re-established.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Once you have flashed this ROM, when an update arrives you generally don't need to wipe /data, so unless you mess with system apps, it's really easy to update. No worries :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
man, a logcat is better than a thousand of words
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Strange... No clue on what happens, I never had the problem. So it does it each time ? Did you try to flash the new radio ?

If it seems related to 3G, could you try to do this ? When you see the H and have a PC to log, do this:

logcat -b radio -b main -b system -c ; logcat -b radio -b main -b system *:v

(on a single line)

Try to turn the gps, wait a bit and give me resulting log.

The -c will clear log before starting logging so log will be shorter and it will be easier to locate the problem.

i did this on my mum's XU and it's been fine ever since.

No, it'srandom, that's the most annoying thing.

I'm now on holidays (mobile data connection now disabled) and would need it so much, but I can't rely on it.

Yesterday I got one GPS fix, after closing the app and then opening again, GPS is gone and I never get a fix again. Reboot doesn't help, so I fear it's interfering with an installed app. I tried "FasterGPS" to set up a different time server, no clue.

I fear logcat is now useless, I'm now in flightmode nearly the whole day, but GPS worked well under different ROMs in flight mode.

Anyway, it's attached.

Thanks for the update.

Like others, I'm eagerly waiting for the next alpha.

I'll also take time to deeply thank you for your hard work; developers like you and others, which as far as I know are not getting a single dime out of this, are what I appreciate the most. Such like people selflessly work for others with passion, not for money. This is what makes their work so appreciated and beautiful.

This is, other than donation, all we can say to the developers. Thank you. :good:

Thanks! I have a similar one locally, we have same diff. It seems fine on 4.2.2 so far...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
4X is tegra 3, audio is completely different, so no use, no. Our main problem is that FM is linked to bluetooth through a proprietary blob and 4.2+ is using completely new stack. I guess we could try to find a phone with 4.2+, msm8660, google stack and bcm4330, but honestly, even if we find this (which I doubt) it won't happen soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:

how come there's no option for copy to clipboard?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
just press copy, and it will copy to the internal clipboard. u wont see texts like ""..." has been copied to clipboard" or something, cause it'll need the clipboard change listener (which is an app, or some keyboard apps's feature). but the old 4,3 has this bug when clipboard listener is being used: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58043 , this is what ive complained some time ago here (about copying text makes the app crash). remove/disable clipboard change listener will fix the issue, and ofc, the new 4.3 build has this issue fixed.

No GPS working here, had no time to have a deeper look at it. Was two weeks in USA and GPS on the phone would have been great, but nope.

Well, some apps are not working with current one, like subway surfer and sygic, and it's not as smooth as it could be. Newest Adreno blobs fix at least subway surfer, I didn't test sygic yet. More, kernel side, there is a new power management layer that should improve battery, and vsync has also been improved.

i don't play games on my phone. probably why I've never noticed then.

oh and with the clipboard thing... if I want a link. to say... a YouTube video off the app. you press share but there's no clipboard if you just want link only. you have to share to messages then copy it. that's what I meant before

I miss some features from OpenSEMC but I found some apps and widgets that replace them (power toggles, brigthness slider) so it isn't a big deal. I know this is freakin' alpha and it works marvelous for this stage of development. It is quite fast, no screen wakeup delay and pixel offset.

I set it up like I wanted and now we'll see how long battery life is.

First i want to thank you Letama for your hard work on our xperia s. You have been fantastic.

The 4.3 until now is going fine. No major bugs.

The only one i found for now is that when i update some apps on play store they say that cant install on the sd card or the USB storage.

What you think is the cause for this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rolex0815:
SOLVED

Fullwipe done, no GPS.

Reflashed and factory reset, no GPS.

Baseband replaced with .39 version (replaced all files in folder /etc/firmware) and flashed again, no GPS.

--> Hardware defect, or anyone some last ideas?

UPDATE:

And when you think the final courtain has come, some things happen only by chance ...

Also considered in the last months a decreasing strength of wifi. Thought it might be because of router placement aso. Didn't pay much attention to it, but in rooms where it always worked flawlessly before, I also considered worse wifi signal strength, but not only with this ROM, also with different ones!

About one year ago, I replaced the battery to try a stronger type, in fact it was not stronger, but about the same capacity. To that time I had to open and to release several Torx-6 screws. After battery replacement, I decided not to put in the screws again, because it was totally stable without the screws and if the new battery fails, I have saved some time to change again.

OK, since that time, my phone lacks 10 screws and I forgot about it, because everything was working fine.

Then, the GPS problems started, but this goes on since 4 months at least.

And 4 weeks ago, it stopped completely.

Today after fullwipe and everything, I came up with the screws and decided to put them back in, because I can only try some cell phone shops where some geeks may have an idea. :)

After putting in all screws I realized two additional indicators for wifi signal strength.

Immediately starting the GPS and the first fix was here after 16 seconds. :D

To cut a long story short: GPS and wifi antenna must have experienced some misplacement over time, so signal got worse and worse.

Or it was some kind of ground error because of too much free space.

So I'm sorry to have bothered you with GPS poblems, which were self-made in the end.

here's a weird battery saving tip....

don't turn the data connection off.

I've been away camping this weekend and thought to save as much battery as possible I'll turn it off (i never turn it off)

on day 1 it lost 40% with data off and hardly any use

on day 2 (after thinking that was poo) i turned data on again and only lost 17% all day!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
Very strange indeef Ben
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Very strange indeed. [MENTION=4681015]Ben36[/MENTION], I'd suggest a look at betterbatterystats with data off, I suspect one app is going bezerk if it loses internet connection.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
maybe. but i don't care if I can leave data on and have that good battery life :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rolex0815:
I'd also suggest that an app has gone wild, because when I was on holidays, I had no data connection for about 14 days only WiFi where available.

Used my phone as camera a lot, lost about 30% a day which is really good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DeJe63:
I am not sure if this has some relations...but I struggled a lot with nlpCollectorWakeLock last couple days. It was preventing deep sleep. I had more than 50% wake according to BBS (way over 3% per hour drain with mobile off) and nlp... was on top of wakelock detector.

Now I switched off all that Google location history/log/tracking, ... and it seems to revert back to normal.

Just to make sure you know, I did not switched off location services. GPS/WLAN based positioning is still on, also for Google Apps like Maps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YoungFiire:
Love it!

I don't know how you done that, but ... this ROM is AWESOME. Battery is running for 12H 30MIN and I got 38% left. Love it , If you could add some Design Add-Ons. Like Change Clock (Right,Left,Center) and things like that. Thank you for this Rom :)
