Here is the compilation of problems posted below:

[Sony Xperia L] XDA-RK:
There is a new wired bug with this update. Sometimes after hangup call the proximity sensor remain on. As the sensor is emitting a little visible red light, I can notice that clearly. Previous video recording screen flickering bug still exists.
[Sony Xperia L] `epiee`:
even its new firmware latest update , its also got bug , no perfect update :D:D

, and i think XL life only in 4.2 no more no more official update 4.3 or 4.4 :mad: ,
[Sony Xperia L] s3nr1:

[Sony Xperia L] xperiaL:
Wtf, can't they do their job and fix bugs? If they used the phones at least for one day, there wouldn't be any bugs.

[Sony Xperia L] AlvinZahran98:
But I still have hope since our phone still support 4.3, even 4.4, z series and sp are just first raft, I don't know if there are second raft and third raft, but we still have a chance to get them, and xm too, but who have not much hope is xc, even if the phone have higher specs, but it doesnt stands out in market and not available in all markets...

All we have to do is hoping for update, don't be desperate..... :)
[Sony Xperia L] mechanickeen:
using Manual ISO when shooting on low light not fixed still lag

I was doing fresh install wipe data n system I found that album, walkman, and movies use old version

seriously

it's really disappointed me nothing improved :/
[Sony Xperia L] S1N1S73R:
why dont you sideload those apps(walkman,album,movies)...you will get the latest on xda:good:
[Sony Xperia L] mechanickeen:
I did sir I updated use my titanium backup
[Sony Xperia L] S1N1S73R:
:good: Great
[Sony Xperia L] mechanickeen:
no.4

using firmware 1.31, 1.36, and 2.17 manual ISO and sport scene on low light lag does not exist

so i disagree that it comes from hardware
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Got the update from Sony care v yesterday...... Phone is just fine ... No problems
[Sony Xperia L] S1N1S73R:
Try factory reset, people have solved this problem by doing so
[Sony Xperia L] BigThing:

AOSP Rom is awesome but bugs sucks on that...........:silly:

[Sony Xperia L] derizar.ip:
really frustated about the multitouch :( not fixed yet
[Sony Xperia L] SoldaTr:
1- Proximity sensor red light

2- Screen light flicker
[Sony Xperia L] crswaminathan:
bugs

1.Proximity Sensor Problem (even after data reset)

If we get a missed call the proximity sensor gets activated and it never turns Off..It glows Until we make another call and cut the call..

when screen is on

If u get a call ,the sensor is activated only if you answer the call(that is, when you start speaking)..when you cut the call it gets off..

But when screen is off

If u get a call ,the sensor is activated, even before answering (that is ,when the call comes itself), and not turning off..

2.Camera

I have a Feel that the camera pictures are noisy like the last 4.1.2 firmware 15.0.A.2.17 and even worse

In previous version 15.A.3.0.26 The images are sharp.. But the Shutter Flash timing is horrible resulting in underexposed pictures.

In my opinion 15.0.A.1.36 (4.1.2) firmware is the best for camera in xperia L..
[Sony Xperia L] S1N1S73R:
Thanks...i tested that and the conclusions made are now included in the post

bug no 1 acknowledged :good:

bug no 2 did you try factory reset? :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] XDA-RK:
Still the loudspeaker bug is there. I mean, sometimes ringtones or media sounds played through the earpiece instead of loudspeaker. That bug was present in previous build too.

Why Sony released this update as there is nothing fixed in this release. At least the should check our opinions and bug reports before rolling up new build. Shame on Sony.
[Sony Xperia L] egar3427:
did you do factory reset?

i'm still in fw 26, and i'm facing this problem too. but when i do factory reset, everything goes to normal.
[Sony Xperia L] abel_fidato:
fully satisfied

I am fully satisfied with the new update.No bugs found and all the previous bugs are fixed.Thanks to sony.I am using C1204 Indian
[Sony Xperia L] Saravana Kumar:
You don't experience the proximity sensor bug?
[Sony Xperia L] AlvinZahran98:
Yeah me too, all bugs fixed, no bugs I suffered, even new bugs , it's all perfect, I just think that this is our last fw update so Sony make it just perfect..

Please hit thanks button if I helped you...!
[Sony Xperia L] billbond4:
Has anyone tried bluetooth ? as the previous version broke bluetooth
[Sony Xperia L] ileeba7:
I had proximity senzor bug. After reflashing .ftf the bug was gone.

This update manage to remove all bug that i had in previous update :D
[Sony Xperia L] faizur1999:
Screen tearing bugs is still exist :'(
[Sony Xperia L] XDA-RK:
Yes I tried, even flashed TFT. But no luck.

No way, Tried wipe and flashed TFT, but bugs are still there

U must be lucky. I have tried everything but no luck.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

you mean C2104, right? Are you sure you don't have these bugs? If you don't have, i guess C2104 builds could have no bugs. But i m not sure if there is any major differences in C2105 and C2104.
[Sony Xperia L] Abruzini:
It's weird that u guys say that u don't have this bugs in your xperia l. In my case, Jesus, i have already tried almost everything but they don't disappear! :(
[Sony Xperia L] had_hc:
i was on .26 rooted firmware (bootloader locked) and tried to update to this latest fw using PC companion. But i got error saying my phone might be 'damaged'. Tried the 2 type of update they offer; one with personal data intact and one completely wipe. Both FAILED!

Now downloading ftf and flashtool and i really hope that this will work!

Anybody with rooted .26 fw face this issue during update using PC companion??

I used Xposed, Gravity Box, Titanium Backup on previous rooted firmware which i uninstalled before I tried that update. IF it helps

If worst come to worst, do u guys think the SONY center guys can detect whether i've rooted or not?

UPDATE: Flashtool also failed. Stuck at 'system.sin' level since last night till this morning. I'll be sending to SONY service center.
[Sony Xperia L] Iczaka:
Youtube fixed

In .26 update the YouTube app the videos looks pixelated, in new firmware update (1.12) this is fixed. :)
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
i havent found any bugs, or maybee im just searching them wrong :/
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
The second raft was Xperia T, TX and V.

Highly doubt there will be a third raft as Xperia L is Sony's second cheapest phone after Xperia M. (Entry level phone).
[Sony Xperia L] AlvinZahran98:
I thought First raft was Z series, sp, tx,t,v, since sony promised them to be upgraded on dec 13 ( well even tho until today, there are no update for sp tx t and v )...

And Xperia L and M are not entry level phones...

Please hit thanks button if I helped you...!
[Sony Xperia L] lee480:
Not entry range? Maybe higher entry? But 100% not mid range. Sony's mid range is Xperia SP. Since Xperia E is discounted, Xperia M is Sony's cheapest phone. Second most budget Sony phone is Xperia L.

High end (C6)

Xperia Z1 = Honami = C6XXX

Xperia Z Ultra = Togari = C6XXX

Xperia Z = Yuga = C6XXX

Xperia ZL = Odin = C6XXX

Mid range (C5)

Xperia ZR C5XXX

Xperia SP C5XXX

(C2 and C1)

Xperia L C2XXX

Xperia M Dual C2XXX

Xperia M C1XXX
[Sony Xperia L] csoresz2:
What about multitouch bug?

(for example: Playing GTA:SA, and moving with CJ with your left finger while pressing a button with your right finger causes lost of control with joy on your left finger, or even on button too. You can find videos and a lot of topics about it. Or try MultiTouc Tester, palce your right finger to the corner, and swipe with left finger. Touch will disappear.)
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
here's a gaming video after update

Multitouch still problem.. and Proximity Sensor bug.

---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

i have the same problem with u bro..i have a lot of bug another game have the same problem like GTA san andreas.
[Sony Xperia L] S1N1S73R:
check main post for proximity solution...tested by me and working
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
i dont have problems like that in any game except gtra series. and im not blaming phone for that. its simply the game bug, cuz its ported very poorly. even gta 3 or vc can lag on my phone and movement options are sad.. thats the only game from the game i have tried, that i dont like to play ^^ cuz of its optimizations and bad controls port
[Sony Xperia L] faizur1999:
Hey xperia l users...I found a solution to screen tearing,tick the Disable HW overlays and force gpu rendering in settings>developer options...Hit thanks if i helped ^_^...sony latest update is bug free!!!
[Sony Xperia L] DexterousKrupesh:
I am facing restarting problem! when i open two or more apps at a time

[Sony Xperia L] man_77:
I had this problem so i reflashed 4.1.2 but the guys here told me to do factory reset and reflash the same firmware..u can try it...if u did..tell me if it worked
[Sony Xperia L] Macmol:
I will try, later...

Sent from my Xperia L
[Sony Xperia L] XDA-RK:
I am just annoyed with the speaker bug. Please don't suggest me to perform factory reset as I know it will temporarily fix that bug, but after sometimes t returns. Even, just restarting the phone helps to prevent the bug for few hours. I just want to know if I am the only one with this bug or anyone else facing too?

** Factory reset or Flashing TFT will not eliminate the bug. It just solves temporarily.
[Sony Xperia L] Macmol:
I have done a repair via PCC. The reboots are gone now!

Thnx alot dude :D

Hey guys, i didn't get proximity bug in the latest update .1.12

But got a new kind of bug, my phone restarts itself while playing music (when the music is paused or the song is over and the phone is in sleep )

this also happens while playing game and game is paused

During this nothing kind a works and the phone reboots itself in around 10-15 sec

Did anybody else got this problem?
[Sony Xperia L] man_77:
I had this issue before the latest update try reflashing or doing factory reset..it's not a firmware bug
[Sony Xperia L] eLGi:
Heh, after I did update via Flashtool (PC Companion didn't find any update) and after my phone turned on I had NO navbar and status bar, I couldn't do **** on my phone, after running any app I couldn't get back to homescreen (that's why I hate the idea of on screen buttons).

EDIT: Wiping data during flashing fixed the problem.
[Sony Xperia L] akthakur84:
I faced -

1. Proximity bug (now fixed)

2. The sound coming through the ear speaker instead of internal speaker.
[Sony Xperia L] Muzammil10:
Actually i did repair twice using pc companion

And even did factory reset after flashing

but the bug is not fixed

and i have the latest firmware too
[Sony Xperia L] man_77:
Damn man..some dude told me that he did a repair with pcc and it worked for him..for me i reflashed 4.1.2 and waiting for the alleged update..
[Sony Xperia L] Macmol:
That was me. And my phone rebooted even it was in my pocket.

And yes, Pcc repair worked for me. No reboots now.

I don´t have the proximity bug, but I can´t watch Netflix, someone know something about this? thanks :)
[Sony Xperia L] Rohit@91:
Faced two problem within two days.

1. Proximity Sensors is on everytime.

2. Phone is getting rebooting itself while opening Chrome browser.
[Sony Xperia L] 7th man:
Lightflow+STAMINA mode=bug

Blink for no reason.
[Sony Xperia L] Yoru9102:
I also had my phone rebooting with Chrome and Opera, but just with 1 website asking my location, the phone restarted when the web was showing "locating".
[Sony Xperia L] Kostas 741:
At first i was happy about the update because i thought that bugs will be fixed.

Unfortunately, still there are some bugs.

1) Low red light after closing a call session.

2) Phone reboots sometimes while headphones are pluged in. (This bug was there from previous versions)

Although the camera sharpness is improved but not at all.

At low light enviroment i'm still disappointed with the 8MP camera of my Xperia L.

Ram not improved very much so there is no difference with previous version of JB.

Finally i don't face any problems with "browsers reboot" as i'm using Dolphin Browser which is by far the best and obviously doesn't restarts my phone :)
[Sony Xperia L] 7th man:
Sorry Sony...

Close?!!!

[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
@up i know u cannot unlock phone :) (orange) so u will have to wait for official one if we even get it. and tbh i dont have any bugs with new firmware and there is not so many ppl also getting some :) the most bugs from reading this thread comes with chrome and proximity sensor bug (whatever it looks like) :) but yeah i think we will get official KK since still we have almost year of sonny support (till december if i calculate correctly - 18 months, althou it should be 2 years like sony said during relasing xperia nxt)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] reaper815:
My phone is giving me issues and I am trying to send it in to get it exchanged via warranty. I was running virgin rom 4.4 but flashed back to stock 4.2.2, a friend of mine stupidly let get the update to 4.3 so i spent a while trying to root it to run triangle away. I ended up finding and using the chain fire auto root, ran triangle away and reset the device.

System status:Custom

Knox kernel lock: 0x0

know warranty void : 0x1

csb-config-lsb: 0x30

I was wondering, what else would need to be done to unroot and prep it to be shipped back in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Knox warranty void: 0x1 is impossible to reset as of now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Once you let OTA install 4.3 you have Knox and rooting it trips it. In order for you to send it back you would have to be at 0 count which its already too late since your count is ×1. I'm sure sooner or later someone will find a way to reset the counter but as of now its a no go. Sorry about your luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
Since you're already on the mk2 bootloader you may as well go ahead and odin flash the mk2 tar. Be sure to Factory Reset in custom recovery before flashing with odin to avoid "Device Status: Custom."

From what I've read, Asurion (the primary insurance company for 3 of the big 4 US Carriers) doesn't even check for KNOX. With that in mind, you may also receive a phone with the KNOX flag tripped.

As long as you have stock rom image, stock recovery, it should read Device Status: Official under Settings > More > About Device > Status.

That's all they look for. They don't bother with download mode.
[HTC Droid DNA] Designer17:
I really want to get a fitness tracker that sync's wirelessly with my phone but there isn't any that are compatible at the moment. They require android 4.3+ and BLE support. I read an article from HTC that states the DNA is BLE compatible.

Would installing a custom 4.3 or 4.4 rom enable BLE?
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
From what I've read [in this forum] yes.

Hello,

Running 20131229 nightly on SGH-i777 and noticed this bug in the camera's scene settings.

The icons and the text do not match.
[General Omni Discussion] sunglint:
I've found the camera to be quite buggy, so much so that Im using ProCapture. It's a paid app but quite nice. I'm sure theyll get it fixed eventually, probably just low on the list.
[General Omni Discussion] jakkuchan:
True, it's prolly really low on the list. But I just wanted to put it out there.
[General Omni Discussion] sunglint:
As well you should! Just offering an alternative.

I'm kinda surprised at how new OmniRom is, it's very well done. And gets better every day :)
[General Omni Discussion] jakkuchan:
I agree 100%! I'm still setting up my own ubuntu box so I can contribute more! This rom is very very promising. Starting with kitkat was a very wise decision.

Yeah camera is not up to scratch yet, hope its fixed sooner rather than later... Great Rom though! Thanks.. :good:

Hey i am totaly new to sony phones and have always used samsung, i am looking to by a c6603, my question is: what are the changes that i can't unlock my boatloader, and why would sony make 2 versions of the same model c6603. Are the international c6603 always unlockable or not?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Unbranded phones purchased off contract will have unlockable bootloaders.

Carrier branded phones supplied by your network provider usually, but not always, have a non-unlockable bootloader.

Nobody develops anything for Trend Plus as far as I know. If I were you I would find a phone that has a good developer team behind.

But you can use Vroot to root it!!!! It works, but till now I couldn't change chinesse language in supersu, but doesn't matter...

[Nexus 5 Accessories] antiker1:
Hi,

I just bought a hama screen protector for my Nexus 5. You can get it at MediaMarkt. The package contains 2 protectors including 4 stickers for the assembly ("Easy-On Application") and a duster [picture]. If you buy it at MediaMarkt you have to pay 9,99€ which is around 13,8$

The assembly is quite easy but takes it's time. Just make sure there is absolutely no dust on the screen before you bring on the protector. In my case the screen was dust free except one little thing near the volume rocker which is dust or a scratch in the protector. The screen alignment was also not 100% perfect but that doesn't matter [picture].

The screen is still very responsive and the screen protector is very clear. It almost looks like there's no screen protector on it.

Best regards
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
You should be able to remove that side dust fairly easily by lifting 1 corner, and using the tape. However more dust might fly underneath if you're in the average room which has dust flying around.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] antiker1:
thanks. at the beginning of the assembly i've removed the dust at the corners of the display with such a tape. i just thought this little thing near the volume rocker is a scratch or dust which i can not remove with the tape because it didn't work for the first time.

you're right, it was dust. now i tried it again with the tape and succeeded.

it looks perfect now. absolutely not dust. this is pure perfection :)
