[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
I have a couple of 24" Dell IPS U2410 monitors and a Sony 40" HDTV all of them work with a Sony LT26i 6.2.B.1.96 over HDMI

I have a DVI-D to HDMI cable and that also works on my monitors.

Operationally the display on the monitor/HDTV is good and I've not had any problems(noted to date) displaying applications and general tasks using 6.2.B.1.96 via HDMI

The only area I've come unstuck is when using HW (Hardware) acceleration to view 720p 16:9 aspect videos via a HDMI connection.

It is locked to 4:3 and can not be changed, unless reverting to Software encoding (SW)

I have noted my HDMI connection is a bit loose at the phone and a wiggle can drop the signal.

This is more to do with HDMI/MicroHDMI adapter and weight of cable I'm using.

My mircoHDMI cable to HDMI does not exhibit this as the connection is firmer.

Some times when I make my HDMI connection, the phone and monitor don't sync and I have to remove and replace the phone HDMI connection before the device sync's. I seem to remember reading somewhere the phone HDMI connection should be the last item in the connectivity process.

I had a look in the 'SERVICE' menu and note that HDMI is set to 720p@60Hz (On my phone).

I tried a few 1080p settings, but this made no difference to the video HW 16:9 / 4:3 problem.

I'm not using any special HDMI cable. All my HDMI working cables have been sourced from china.

I did have some local 'cheap' HDMI cables which would drop the signal periodically with both PC/Notebooks and LT26i, but they have now been 'trashed'.

I did have problems with 6.2.B.0.197 and 6.2.B.0.200(from memory) where they didn't work at all and/or I could only use the HDMI connection on the Sony HDTV using a direct connection with no HDMI switch in the loop.

Using 6.2.B.0.211 and 6.2.B.1.96 all the connection setups I have, all work, including HDMI/SPDIF splitters/switch and HDMI/DVI-D cable.

I hope Sony provides future upgrades to include some fixes for these less main steam problems, however the likes of [MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION] seem to indicate this may never happen.

Pity, if this is the case as the Sony LT26i made a great little movie player/mini desktop with the DK10 media dock(power, 500GB HDD and/or NAS access, mouse/keyboard via a USB switch) and 16:9 aspect monitor/display.

Drop back to 6.1.A.2.55 and we regain these lost services so for those of us that wish to use the full feature set of the LT26i, we still have the option.

[Update]

I have found that if you set the HDMI video setting to standard a HW accelerated (Uses GPU to accelerate FPS) video will be display in the correct aspect of 16:9

If the HDMI video setting is left as 'fine' a HW accelerated video will only be displayed as 4:3 aspect ratio.

This settings is found as an HDMI icon in the status bar when HDMI is connected.

Did you have battery drain on new .96 fw? .200 have better battery life.

worsened with the battery 96 and the keyboard is the worst that already had the xperia s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
No need to keep repeating. Annoying.

I played Despicable Me HD mp4 via the movie app in wide ratio. No lag as claimed, or maybe it's a different setup you're referring to? Or Xperia Ion don't suffer from the 'bug'?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
VIA HDMI to an external monitor/TV????????

Model: XPERIA LT26i

Firmware: 6.2.B.1.96

A 16:9 aspect video using HW acceleration plays WITHOUT PROBLEMS when NOT using a HDMI cable to an external monitor.

The display on the phone is NOT at fault.

I am using an HDMI cable to connect to an external monitor/TV.

I'm using mkv[H.264,AC3] which is not natively supported on the XPERIA LT26i, but still plays fine with correct aspect ratios when not displaying the movie to an external monitor/TV via HDMI.

I have tested the same movie encoded as MP4 and it has the same problem when using a HDMI cable to an external monitor/TV screen.

XPERIA LT26i natively supported video decoder format.

Decoder format Supported in file format

MPEG-4 Simple Profile Level 6,

Advanced Simple Profile Level 5

3GPP (.3gp), MP4 (.mp4)

H.264 High Profile Level 3.2 3GPP (.3gp), MP4 (.mp4)

H.263 Profile 0 Level 70 3GPP (.3gp)

When I play the video on the LT26i using HW acceleration it is fine and uses the correct aspect ratio as seen on the phone and even with the HDMI cable connected it plays in the correct aspect ratio on the LT26i 4.3" screen.

It's just the output sent to the monitor/TV at the other end of the HDMI cable what has the problem.

It's locked to 4:3 aspect ratio while HW acceleration is in use.

So one suspects the HDMI JB 4.1 video drivers.

Tap on the phones screen and select software encoding and the phone screen stays correct as it was never at fault..and now the TV/monitor aspect ratio is correct too. However, as we know you don't get the same FPS when using SW encoding compared to HW acceleration at 720p

On the TV/monitor I tried all the aspect ratios like 1:1, full screen, 'aspect' and wide zoom (TV) and nothing helps correct the HW acceleration mode 4:3 display.

So, unless someone can display a 16:9 aspect movie using HW acceleration in the correct ratio on an external monitor/TV screen using a LT26i, one is left to considering there is a problem with the current HDMI drivers or video encoding over HDMI.

YOU MUST BE USING A HDMI cable AND VIEWING THE MOVIE ON AN EXTERNAL MONITOR/TV TO TEST THIS!!!!

I'm surprised I'm the only person banging on about this.

(1) I'm the only person with the problem cause I've stuffed up a setting somewhere.(which I have to consider)

(2) Nobody visiting XDA Developers watches wide screen movies over HDMI with HW acceleration enabled on a TV/Monitor... odd.

[Update]

I have found that if you set the HDMI video setting to standard a HW accelerated (Uses GPU to accelerate FPS) video will be displayed in the correct aspect of 16:9

If the HDMI video setting is left as 'fine' a HW accelerated video will only be displayed as 4:3 aspect ratio.

FOR ME THE FULL HD MOVIES ON PHONE WAS BIT SLOW NOT SMOOTH.so i messed around somethings and found a solution.go to developer options and just check the option DISABLE HARDWARE OVERLAYS,dont check anything else :good: i think,its the solution for most lags remaining.except those this final update is awesome :cool: 1 problem is that after every reboot this gets unchecked so always check this after a reboot

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

check the option DISABLE HARDWARE OVERLAYS in developer options :good: hope this will help

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

just drain the battery to 0 percent with normal use and fully charge to 100 %,repeat this cycle for a week or so.it should be normal or if you rooted use BATTERY CALLIBERATION APP and follow the instructions :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Can be more precise and clear? And stop using caps. I meant to say in my previous post that I obviously connect via the TV.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
i think all the bugs are fixed,i feel some still have because of bad data remains :confused: no bugs for me :highfive: cheers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ValerieCastle:
Sadly, no luck with that, I am going to test it on another tv to see if that works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
U wiped the data b4 update.

And how u updated via sus or flashtools.

And a small thing check some build prop tweaks

It'll solve ur hdmi and streaming lag.

Check this and it'll work

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ValerieCastle:
By the way... I think my TV input is a 1080i but the on the service menu at the phone I can only see the output option 720p and 1080p, does this make any difference?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Forzaferrarileo:
No , because anyway it's rendered at 720p , 1080i/p it's only a useless upscale
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
[MENTION=4598588]Forzaferrarileo[/MENTION] is correct, it has no impact.

I have connected to a Panasonic 50" FullHD plasma TV (TH-50PZ750U) via HDMI where the initial connection failed.

It was over a year ago and from memory I had to adjust the HDMI settings from the HDMI icon seen in the status bar at the top of the screen.

I think I had to adjust the screen size due to overscan on the TV and may have even had to set the screen quality to standard from fine.

I'm not sure if I had to adjust the overscan setting on the Panasonic TV.. to long ago.

Mostly the HDMI sync does take a couple of seconds before the display is seen on the external monitor/TV.

So just a few options for you, if those have not been considered yet.

Interestingly, you have just identified my 4:3 HDMI HW accelerated screen display problem for me. :D So big ups to you [MENTION=5411400]ValerieCastle[/MENTION]

If the HDMI Video output setting is set to fine a 16:9 aspect movie will only be displayed as 4:3 when using HW acceleration

If the HDMI Video output setting is set to standard a 16:9 aspect movie will be displayed correctly using HW acceleration

Now I have to do some research to find out what the true purpose of the 'fine' HDMI video setting is, if it's not for viewing 16:9 aspect videos with Hardware Acceleration enabled. :o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
okay :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dagoll:
At the time of the power switch on the screen, i got first black screen blinking after that the lock screen appears.

I think this is bug, because is annoying for me.

Sorry my bad english. :laugh:

For me battery is really good. Last night (about 9h) took only 3%.

I have removed Maps, Street View, Facebook and other things I don't use.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yasharkhan:
Battery drains real fast,almost a drain of 15-20 % within every 20 mins with music and wifi
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Then, that's extremely abnormal. Never heard of search thing before. I highly recommend you to reinstall and do a full wipe via Sony PC Companion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RodrigoOgasawara:
They did a good job with this update,the bigger bugs are gone.The only glitch i facing is when i press the power button,the phone shows only the clock and a black background an then loads the lockscreen wallpaper.The keyboard lags a bit and are slow to show up some rare times when i use chrome (its doenst happen on stock browser)but i think its normal,my old S2 did the same on heavy apps like chrome.

For battery,its has the same performance as older JB .200,slightly worse than ICS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cooperke:
I don't have that problem with the lockscreen. Do you use app to lock your phone.....?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RodrigoOgasawara:
No,its complete stock,there a very little time (less than 1s) after pressing the power button that the locksreen wallpaper don't show,only the clock and the shortcuts and a black background.Sometimes you can see that the clock shows wrong time,it doenst happen all the time,but its the first thing i noticed when updated.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:

Has happened twice but other times is fine... Selecting the sms conversations app in recent app menu brings up settings!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
It isn't that combo, actually. The thing is that it bugs and brings another random app (generally the second in list, from down to up) instead of the one you picked...

pls help! my display go crazy after update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
This behaviour has been reported and discussed on the Xperia S Official JB thread. The conclusion is that it's not a bug, it's a result of a deliberate design decision on Sony's part as a battery saving measure when the screen's off.

Coming back to xperia s 1080p when i stream the movie from my wnr2200 router from the external hard drive the movie did frame drops badly.

However when i connect to linksys EA4500 (wifi n900) and connect the hard drive (seagate barracuda 2tb ) to it. I was able stream 3gb mkv movie and I did not experience any frame drop.

upnp/dlna was on.

But when i try to play the same movie from the internal memory was hell:confused:.

The movie in all thee cases was the same.;)

I'm experiencing that too sometimes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
So.. I saw users reporting about Lockscreen and Battery.. Well.. Apparently there are none of those.. I did a clean install.. Wiped everything.. And this is my experience thus far..

- No lags, not even tiny glitches.. Every lag removed.. Project Butter finally working as it should..

- Camera better than other JB ROMs.. But there are small lags in 1080p recording.. Pictures are better..

- Settings slider glitch is also gone..

- Games run much better.. Can be compared with ICS .55 since Asphalt 8 working better in .96 than ICS..

- For a change, i liked double tap for Recent Apps and Long Press for Google..

- Battery backup great at all times.. Standby time is awesome.. Losing only 2-3% overnight.. Even when gaming, i used to lose more battery in .211 and now very less compared to that..

- Surprisingly ALL heating issues that we used to get when gaming for around 15 mins and more are completely gone.. My device now stays real cool.. Also i am very happy to say this, even SGS4 got real hot in the back with 4.2 running on it and my SXS didn't when me and my pal were playing NFSMW together.. :D

- Music has improved.. Much better surround and effects in Walkman.. Although i love PSA PureSwarm Audio MOD.. ;)

- 2G n/w speed and Wifi Range has gotten better.. 2G now more efficient.. I need not change to UMTS in my n/w settings to access internet with speed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
same here but it seems it happens sometimes.i have cleared both the cache,it doesnt seem to happen now but still testing :confused:

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

yeah,i noticed the same.its well optimized and a hard work has been done by the SONY team as we can see it atleast after the bugs :p a great THANKS to them.as said jelly bean is the best update and i dont care if i get anymore,and if we get,its our bonus.the phone never lagged,like on ics.its buttery smooth.battery life has increased especially standby time(important to me).games do run better than ics and even videos.the only thing that bugs me is that the full hd video playback is bit slow in framerates playing using dice player or any other,the problem is solved if i go to DEVELOPER OPTIONS and select DISABLE HW OVERLAYS.but after every reboot i have to check it :confused: well done and now xperia s can compete with any current smartphone in terms of speed.if any guys still on ics like i was,believe me move on and as [MENTION=4921331]sudhindrakv[/MENTION] said do a clean install or may be problems will come :highfive: CHEERS XPERIA S USERS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Well a big thanks to sony for the fixed update of jb.

Damn they did improvised. And did a hard work on this.. Cheers to sony.

Well its satisfying. I guess

And for all the users experiencing battery and lockscreen issue.

Pls do this.

Try resetting batt.stats by charging from o to 100. For a couple of cycle.

As its a update and i guess we all. Made a clean install,

Let the rom settle a bit as it settles it will give u improvement i can say that. As it does need time though.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

Try resetting via combi power + vol up. Till three vibrations.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
i tried calliberating by removing the batterystats and today was the second day.i saw a bit improvement and now its come close to my ics usage time (12 hours total usage,3.45 hours screen on time.this include medium heavy use.listening to songs and playing asphalt 8.i think jelly bean is a major update for all of us including battery life.its still getting better in every way and now after the udate i never said the word "LAG".awesome update.no lags at all.thats all to explain.everything is good,all the minor details like the magnifying glass and many animations are amazing.nice touch
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Yes it actually and both practically is thats what we call an update for fixes.

As it does need time to settle like other roms..

So enjoy jb and cheers to sony.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angel_salam:
sorry but am I the only one who think that this rom is NOT fantastic?? all of you said that it is smooth, ok I agree but ONLY in portrait mode, as soos as you switch in landscape the phone becomes laggy and really slow which make it unusable in landscape mode. also the keyboard is really really SLOW when you turn on words prediction/swype/autocorrection with important input lag. i agree that sony made a good job but it's like the rom is not over, like a beta. and it's sad that our device will stick for ever with thoses kind of unfinish joob of sony since this is the last update.

have an half working device at the final with unusable important fonction isn't that great... but we can't do anything i guess :rolleyes:

ps: sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
No need to be sorry first.

Well no 1 even knew that we'll get this update.

So u never know.

And try a reset as in my last 3 post and then see if it lags or not ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angel_salam:
i already reset and even try to repair with pc companion but it's still lag a lot in landscape and had a slow keybord.

but it is really and suprisly smooth in portrait mode. just try yourself and you'll see what i'm complaining a lot. I noticed it because landscape and word prediction/swype are features that I use a lot.

despite that the rom is good. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] OfficerTux:
Still not fixed:

- Music App gets force closed while browsing the web (opera + poweramp)

- Sometimes when cycling through apps with the task manager (double tap home button) it switches to the wrong app

Curious if 'chraging light staying on after charger disconnect' got fixed, I will find that out tomorrow morning ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
i tried just now as u said,no lags on landscape.using xperia keyboard or the SWYPE keyboard.both are as fluid as in portrait.i faced some problems after flashing because of some bad CACHE or SYSTEM FILE remains.i tried cleaning the CACHE and DALVIK CACHE,then factory reset.all is working better than ever before.many complaining still about some lags on video cam,switch off the IMAGE STABLIZER,maybe updating from the buggy firmware to this 1 takes some bugs with it (maybe).i flashed from ics ;)

1 important news first flash SXS STOCK ROM,the flash SXSL Kernal and see. for me battery life Is great.No Fc in any app and game(Asphalt8);)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
i have read somewhere on the thread before,both are same :good: with everything same.just 200 mhz more overclocked in xperia SL.i am 100% sure.if u flash a XPERIA S rom,your phone will show as LT26i instead of the LT26ii in your about phone and will work slower at 1.5 ghz like XPERIA S

Stop labelling every issue as "major".

1. Never experienced it at all. In fact, it's extremely fluid.

2. Experienced it. Not a big issue. When watching videos, your eyes concentrate on the screen, not your fingers.

3. Tell that to the app developer to optimize their apps for the phone, not XDA or Sony.

Whats major for you might not be major for others,
