Hi Guys,

I have some very interesting new for you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783157

Above link will link to a thread for the SGS5 Verizon edition!

Using that app and you can ROOT your device.. The app is called TowelRoot and has its own SU app so no need to install any SU app (will fail tho) but I have AdAway working and Root checker tells this:

And also TB:

IF I HELPED YOU PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON;)
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
I dont have that update yet.. According to the developer all kernels build before july will work ;)

Edit: Xposed seems to work aswell :)
[Xperia SP General] greek_assassin:
Mrjraider forget it i actually rooted my phone on version 201 but only using http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip and not the play store version

IF I HELPED YOU PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON;)
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
I dont have a recovery just yet. But for those who want (temp) root to install a custom recovery and play allong this app can help alot!

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

It worked for me also on .205 + you can install http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip for better managment of your permissions and then you can unistall troot
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
Which recovery did u install?
[Xperia SP General] JetArmstrong:
There is no need for recovery u can install the SuperSU through SD

BE CAREFUL when installing a recovery , you may get bootloop.
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
It's OK... I installed recovery on .205 and flashed supersu through zip installed xposed and all. Can confirm this method is working with no problems. I tried installing supersu from sd but couldn't update binary. So I used the recovery method. Maybe u could open a thread to explain this way of rooting .205

[Xperia SP General] NestorC:
Yea, It also comes a day or two later on CE after release, but now a week passed and nothing. I will think twice to update it when it comes, because of the battery drain, maybe its better lagy than empty phone, had drain on previous update, and dont want to face it again, took more than 50% of battery, screen only 10% and less on a single charge, and I guess that all have it, than location services drain :P

[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
You might want to check for typo's... ;)

On the subject... I too have had sometimes (very seldom) authentication problems or something similar - a little exclamation mark next to wifi icon. Disabling and enabling wifi usually takes care of it. The problems existed on .201 for me too.

Guys should I update to .205 because of battery drain, I need your opinion? Sorry for off-topic if it is.
[Xperia SP General] antkalaitzakis96:
What battery drain? It lasts longer for me
[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
For me the lag on .201 was so bad that I chose the battery drain as the lesser of two evils. Then again if I was a heavy user without option to charge during day, I might think differently.

It's a matter of personal preference.
[Xperia SP General] NestorC:
Users report drain about location services, you dont have it?

Yea, I also have massive lag on .201, but how bad is battery life with that drain, is it much worst or you dont notice it in use?
[Xperia SP General] UsernameWasTaken:
It's not, check again. PPC offers me the .205 update, phone runs on .254 GenUK.
[Xperia SP General] JetArmstrong:
Enable them when needed. Disable them problem solved.
[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
I took my SP off the charger at 7:00 and checked on the phone 8:00, didn't use it for anything but checking the time for a couple of times.

It had gone from 100% to 97%.

So 3% per hour without using Stamina mode. It used to be around or less than 2% per hour on .201.

What I had enabled at the time:

- Google sync

- Exchange sync

- Google now

- BT was on but not connected

- Location based wifi was also on

So I'd say it's gotten worse by 30 - 50% for me. For others it depends on their usage patterns.

All in all I find it an acceptable trade-in for the lag, but only temporarily, Sony must provide a fix.
[Xperia SP General] Daniel D.:
Yes, of course. Sony must do so many things regarding to users. Just because you have such values it doesn't mean that others have them, too. Read through all those threads: There are users who complain about functions/batterie drain etc. and those who do not because they've a different experience. I think most of the drain can/must be fixed by google! I had so many different batterie drain values in the last months depend on the different versions of Google Play Services that I think without this crap my phone would last 8-10 days without charging. But I don't know the exact problem, so I'm happy with 2-4 days.
[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
I've a problem with withstanding one full day of usage at times, you tell me you can use up to 4 days per charge? Okay that's insane. How do you do it?
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:

[Xperia SP General] Rasik199:

You already said the screen is on most of the time. 17 hours is quite long!
[Xperia SP General] Rasik199:
Even he said he uses whatsapp a lot so I wondered..... ?
[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
17 hours of usage isn't not bad for Xperia SP without Battery Stamina mode on! Even with Stamina mode on, I still have problems withstanding 1 full day of usage...
[Xperia SP General] TsunaH:
17h screen on?

Wut

[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
I dont use Stamina mode.. Because it costs more power to disconnect en reconnect every time you turn the screen off instead of staying connected to the network ;

Anyone having problem running real racing 3 with .205? Just couldnt play it, crashes everytime.
[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
That's the point. How on earth is 17 hours of screen on possible?

If you don't use the screen for quite some time, syncing would result in higher data usage. Battery Stamina would stop all these and result in lower data usage.

Jeez, try searching and reading. Updated Google Location Service process is responsible for battery drain, not the FW update. Kill it or freeze it and your battery won't drain as fast.

Hey guys I think I found a new bug

I hope u can check this to see if there's a solution (I think I'll try reflash but I'll wait to see if someone get the same as me)

Yesterday I need to use GPS and noticed a battery drain this morning, and then in settings see this:

Waze was draining battery, but I can't find waze running in Apps > running

I used GPS and maps/waze about three times since .205 update and always get this:

GPS show as was activated in history details, but in settings (and location services) was not.... and actually can't 'deactivate' GPS, and apps detect as not activated (waze ask me to turn on GPS); and I get a battery drain thanks to GPS xD

can anyone try this to know if I'm the only one with this?

[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
Regarding battery drain after updating to .205, some have pointed out that the problem lies in Google Play Services version.

Google has recently released a new version:

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...e-and-play-services-also-receive-update-love/

It should be rolling out during the next days (already started to roll) but as I didn't feel like waiting, went ahead and installed it from the link provided.

Ours should be version ending in -036 (I checked that from the version that was previously installed on my SP C5303).

You can check for yourself:

Go into Settings->Apps->All and click on Google Play Services. Look at the last 3 digits of the number in parentheses: -010, -032, -034, etc and match which it is.

Some people claim in the comments that this version causes horrible battery drain and google now won't work, so be warned.

I have only used it for some hours now, so can't tell yet if it made things better or worse.
[Xperia SP General] noahvt:
This is were most manufacturers of android phones can learn something from apple: support devices till the devices are officially not able to handle the latest firmware update! That would be so nice! But that's probably not gonna happen any time soon
[Xperia SP General] Draqula:
I tried uninstalling the update to see what version it would revert to (some comments said 5.0 could not be uninstalled). I successfully uninstalled updates and It was left 3.X something.

Then Google Maps and Hangouts started complaining and the next moment it had updated itself to 4.4 (dated 26.06.14 in the Play Store).

So I reinstalled 5.0, can't really tell if it makes a difference to battery tho.
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Do you see the name, "Xperia SP" inside??

If you want, get an iPhone. Even Google doesn't update the Galaxy Nexus to Kitkat even though it met the requirements.

They won't. 205 is highly likely the last update for Xperia SP.
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
The Galaxy Nexus did got the update if Texas Instrument had written proper drivers. And because TI stopped with CPU development there was no one who could wrote the drivers ;)
[Xperia SP General] lee480:
Is that confirmed by Google or assumptions based on unverified sources? Google sole official statement clearly states that Galaxy Nexus have reached the 18 month threshold and they are not obliged to update it. What about international Gaalxy S3? SoC by Samsung, but did they update it?

It's to time to face facts - 205 will most probably be the final update.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
+1

No possible KitKat for us. That's the truth and let's face it.

Even during Xperia 2011 times there was JB4.1 under investigation. Few months after that Sony said they won't update because of low screen resolution(854x480, which wasn't really low at that time).
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:

Sony and its marketing strategies........

It goes like this, Android 4.3 update was promised , so they delivered a buggy update even after delays. After a month , users point out the bugs , so Sony charts out a way to fix one major bug in each update. Like now there is a battery drainage which will be fixed in the next 4.3 update released in the coming months, This way, they are able to finish their 18 month quota without delivering the latest Android which the phone is capable of handling.

USER: We want a bug free update !

SONY: Okay , but it will take time to fix the bugs. Our development team is very busy at the moment (Japanese Voice)

USER: Now that the current Android version is bug free, could you release the latest version of Android ?

SONY: Oh our developers worked for months to fix the bugs.If you want to experience the latest Android , why don't you buy a phone from our latest series ? (Japanese Voice)
