Flash a new firmware with flash tool and you'll once again love your Xperia S.

I'm also having problem with my ion after the jb update. My phone lags and even hangs when i download apps and files.. this is very annoying. I'm currently using my s4 updated to 4.2.2. It makes me wonder why i'm wasting my time fixin my ion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lewis021:
Use trinity ROM. And if you're still not satisfied. Buy an iPhone, no lags and no trouble,no rooting, no hustle, no flash, no NFC. :D

ICS

Go back to ICS,

it is Bug free, and battery friendlier than JB,

ICS isn't bug free

And try trinity it's like having an iPhone I can compare my phone's performance with galaxy s4 too and I would say xperia s is the coolest phone I've ever had now my whole family (with their galaxy junks) are jealous from me coz I'm the only one who has an xperia handset and that's what makes me special :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
Good morning, dear users. I have Sony Xperia U with Android 2.3.7 .184 version. I often play in Modern Combat 4 in online, but lags is hard! :( I have 10-23 fps in online :( I tried many firmwares, but MC4 lags all of them. Can i play in MC4 without lags on my Xperia U? On which firmware? On which kernel?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
Help me please
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SRV Rockable:
I don't know about online mode but it works smoothly in offline....!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia modder:
hey man single player is so smooth but multiplayer needs a lot of cpu so it lags like hell on my xperia sola and my xperia u you can add some swap and over clock
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
Yes, i know that singleplayer works fine, but in online lags is hard
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
i made a swap on cm 9 and used a kernel with overlock, but lags didnt`t lost :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia modder:
I know man that lags dont go i am disapointed with gameloft they made the apk difriniate the graphics between low end and high end devices so we get poor graphic and some performance (means loads of lag but iwent to mc3 )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
means I can not play without lag. So?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia modder:
no you can i have found something good but for the stock official ics cuz any rom have some problems with decoders of hw and sw so u will have a lag but cm9.1 is good also

what u have to do is go to settings/developer options/

then make the back ground processes 1 when you are going to game only cuz 1 is not good for maultitasking

but on my sola i made it 1 and igot 208 mb with the settings app opend wicH means 240mb free so it will not lag and make the cpu to performance guvenor

and one last thing made asphalte 8 work fine with very low lag on sola

go to build.prop through any root explorer and you will find:

ro.product.model=GT-I9505

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=GT-I9505

ro.product.device=GT-I9505

you will find the same lines but with diffrent names so change to what i wrote

THIS WILL HELP IN GAMING

press thanks if i helped you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
I tried this steps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wind07:
And? Working?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia modder:
so did them work or not

and the build prop thing doesn't matter so much
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
AndroidNoob69, xperia modder, unfortunelly no :(

I tried this steps om CM 9.1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [PROHEAD]:
I feel unhappy :crying:

I hope, thet the MC5 will be optimized for my device.,..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kloko4i:
PS Vita and Dual Core

If they make it work on dual core proccessor it will be beast cause I do not think they will optimize it for Xperia play and I have the Play and the U and I am considering buying a PS Vita and I can not afford buying a mediatek device or samsung galaxy s3 and I do not see problems for gameloft making Modern Combat 5 for PS Vita the grahics are going to be better than those on mediatek cause it is a mobile and PS Vita is a console with ps3 like graphics, so I hope for Dual core optimization and PS Vita in the near future! PEACE!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usman farhat:
The old maps had a feature that if we searched coordinates on Google Maps app, we were taken to nearest street, but if we searched in format: Somelocation@24.979221,67.058318 we were taken to the exact pinpoint with a title Somelocation. Here Somelocation may be any text of our choice. Now this feature seems to be disappeared, and now when I search this coordinate, I am given a point on a nearest street, and by nearest, I mean something like 400 meters away! Yes, in a heavily populated area where one foot might change addresses, I am thrown this far. In Website, I can see both points, i.e exact location (green) and nearest (according to them) in red color. See following link for example:

https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&so...,67.058315&spn=0.009589,0.021136&z=16&iwloc=A

So, is there a new method or trick which may enable me to search exact location on my mobile?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethian:
Hello everyone, I'm a new S4 i9505 "happy" owner.

I'm happy with everything about my new phone, EXCEPT when it comes to the Youtube application.

Whether I'm on 3G/4G or Wifi, the quality of videos is definitely BAD... borders look blurry, unacceptable. And I'm talking about HD videos. Videos that are supposed to be 1080p.

Yes, the HD option is turned on.

My friend owns an HTC One and Youtube videos looks just great, just the way they're supposed to be.

How is this possible? Do I have a defective device? In any other situation the display looks perfectly fine.

Did anybody else notice this?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:

Ok, this is pretty strange. :confused:

I decided to uninstall the downloaded Youtube app and restore the stock one (I run the latest Samsung firmware).

SURPRISE! Problem is GONE! Videos are now crystal clear! Just as they should be.

I wander where the problem is with the latest Youtube app... During the playback I click the "HD" symbol (option on top right of the screen) and it seems turned ON (no red line under though.

Anyone else tried??

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yingjai:
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S2 LTE. It has nothing to do with my network, Wi-Fi, or video quality as I've read elsewhere.

Videos looked clear with the old YouTube, but when they updated the interface, videos look pixelated when in full screen. It's like they left out the smoothing for when videos get resized.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:

Ok, I 've made a comparison of one of my movies with the two latest versions:

Version 4.5.17 (previous version of Youtube, with the old UI):

Version 5.0.21 (latest version of Youtube, with the new UI):

You can clearly see a difference especially around the edges. It 's harder to spot in a still than in a movie but you can still see it. Look closely at the edges of my jacket, the snow, the funbox or the treeline

I 'm sticking with version 4.5.17 until Google fixes this. Even though I like the new UI, it doesn't really add anything besides the stupid floating window which I actually find annoying.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yingjai:
People keep assuming it's to do with video quality, but it's not. Poor video quality creates a kind of fuzzy blurry. Bad resizing without smoothing (is it called interpolation or anti aliasing?) creates a sharp pixelated effect which is what's happening.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Largamelion:
That is exactly what it looks like. You see this a lot in games but I had never seen this before in movies. It 's like they disabled AA for some reason.

Stock ROM Jelly Bean

Compilation 15.0.A.1.31

Here I upload the stock firmware of Xperia L of ENTEL Chile company. Of course this is not the latest update, its just for backup in case you brick your phone or you need to use the waranty without troubles. I didnt make any change, just downloaded it via Pc Companion and created the FTF with flashtool. For C2104 model.

ESPAÑOL:

ROM de fabrica Jelly Bean

Compilación 15.0.A.1.31

Aquí subo el firmware de fabrica que viene en el Xperia L de la compañía ENTEL Chile. Por supuesto no es la ultima versión, pero la subo como respaldo por si tienen algún problema al flashear el teléfono o si tienen que hacer uso de la garantía. No tiene ninguna modificación, es la descarga directa de Pc Companion para ENTEL. El FTF fue creado con Flashtool. Para el modelo C2104.

Problema con firmware en Argentina

Hola, como andas? Soy de Argentina y me trajeron un Xperia L de Inglaterra. es un C2105 pero necesito el firmware del C2104 porque las bandas con las que viene el C2105 no sirven para las bandas 3g de mi pais, pero si sirven las del C2104 porque usa la 850 y la 1900, como en Chile. Tenes idea si puedo flashear mi telefono con este firmware que subiste? Muchas gracias!
[Sony Xperia L] Svartehjerte:
Trata de usar inglés, porfa!

I don't really know if, by flashing this, you can turn your C2105 into a C2104 in terms of 3G connectivity... btw, yes, you can flash this .ftf, but after i must say that this is a branded Entel PCS firmware, so you will find some s*** of the operator...
[Sony Xperia L] cyb3rk1wi7ech:
I can't find this rom anywhere

[MENTION=3869097]rockstar.md[/MENTION] or anyone who downloaded this rom particularly, can you help me?

i need to flash this rom branded by entel, on chile, this rom is probably my last hope to my xperia L c2104 and, i just

found the same dead link everywhere without mirrors, the newer firmwares didn't fix the radio problem and i'm struggling

to find it but i stressed out every link i saw only with the same URL to mega.co.nz already dead, this is my final bet to

fix my phone and not sell a brick, even 4.1.2 was ok for me but when i updated, everything was fine until 2 months ago, i made

my biggest mistake ever with this sony phone, one that i need on purpose with the radio working again

in 4.2.2 was completely impossible to use the phone with all those instant reboots over and over, the radio was still working but

it break wifi though, says turning on to nothing, anyway, the wifi was not my need now...

i tried to fix that on xperia companion with no luck, then i flashed the world generic firmware and i lost the radio basebands

i tried the next C2104 files:

15.0.A.1.36 generic US

15.3.A.0.26 india/generic us/nextel chile

15.3.A.1.14 india

15.3.A.1.17 customized BR

i just stopped trying because i don't want to end with an irreversible hard brick state

if anyone has this particular firmware and upload it to the cloud again, i might fix this issue and be happy again

thank you and sorry for the bump but i'm desperate to find this file and flash it to my phone and give an end to a nightmare

[HTC Droid DNA] hbar98:
Hey all!

I've been messing around with a few ROMs, and hear several people talk about backing up and restoring. From the sounds of it, they do a much better/faster job than I can. So I was wondering if there was a listing of what apps and practices that people use for backing up and restoring. If there isn't, would anyone be averse if I started something along those lines?

Currently I am using Helium, and I have used Titanium Backup before.
[HTC Droid DNA] tfrank10:
I think a "Noob guide on backing up/restoring" would be a good thread to have, so I say go for it. Especially for Titanium as I'm pretty sure I'm not using it to it's fullest potential. The more knowledge out there for those starting off, the better.

For what it's worth, the only backing up I do is a Nandroid with TWRP and then Titanium.
[HTC Droid DNA] hbar98:
Awesome! I'll give it a few more days (mainly because I'm at dragon con), and we'll see then!

So, when you restore from a clean wipe, do you restore from nandroid, or do you use another app to extract from the nandroid?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
The nandroid can be restored (it wiped before restoring anyways) or if you just want your apps, skip the nandrpid and use something like Titanium Backup or whatever app of your choice.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] tfrank10:
Also, I forgot to mention that I occasionally use Nandroid Manager, which is very cool. Instead of restoring the full nandroid, you can choose individual parts of your nandroids to restore.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
talking about wi-fi direct alternatives, i would like to ask here for more wi-fi direct alternatives as i am on PA, also should the other person also have same app to be able to transfer through that app? or is that i can use this app and other person can still receive it via wi-fi direct?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Yes, the other person has to have this app installed.

But trust me it's worth of it.

The app works like this: receiver makes an WiFi access point (app does that automatically) and the other phone just connects.

Some other apps :

WiFi file sender

Hoccer (maybe spelled wrong)

Bump.

But as far anyshare is the best

Try it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
is there any application you know of wherein the receiver can receive with wi-fi direct (when i am not sending from wi-fi direct)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Nah, I don't think so. Only original wifi direct can connect. I haven't seen any other app to send via WIFI direct.

Just send Your friend (or whoever You want to send files) anyshare and You're ready to go.

While I'm sending from my note to sgs2 the transfer is ~1.3MB/s and it's much easier in use. Wifi direct sometimes has problems with connecting, custom ROMs don't support it well. That's why I have used WIFI direct like 6 times in my life.

Just give it a try :)

MyDP, Slimport alternative?

I know that our Huawei ascend p6 doesn't suppport MHL.

But is it possible that it supports Slimport? Or that the Slimport supports us?

Take a look at these links about slimport, I don't know if it will work for us:

http://www.intomobile.com/2012/07/02/vesa-introduces-mydp-think-like-display-port-over-usb/

http://www.tested.com/tech/android/457205-mhl-vs-slimport/

http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort-HDTV-Cable-Connect-enabled/dp/B00AGFISF8

All I know is that the slimport works with the nexus 7, whereas the mhl connector won't work with nexus 7.

Don't know if that works the same for our device.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] raolleel:
If our device doesn't have the hardware to output video via mhl or any other hardware we can't do it ...

Huawei implemented SiI8240 MHL in it's kernel, but it looks like we do not have this chip

If we have no chip to do this we cant enable MHL
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bokchoi2020:
I acknowledge that MHL standard will not work. MyDP is another multimedia output standard that is made by VESA.

I was just wondering if MyDP standard would work instead, though I highly doubt it would.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] raolleel:
there is no way this would work, because huawei didn't implement this to the kernel ...

if we could have a output, it would be implemented

we can use DLNA, there is no other way
