Thanks. It works very well, I had only a problem with a theme named DarkMtrl, when it was applied, general settings, mms settings, whatsapp+ settings, and call settings, causes force closes or rr, (I flashed the update over the last nightly I had). I noticed that the theme was the problem after clean install and then, when I applied that theme, the fc and rr occurs again, but when I uninstall the theme, it works completly fine. Heads up is OK.

I only haven't test call recording because I have no money in my carrier account.

Any news on nightlies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
-Heads up notifications settings in Carbon Fibers, Call settings and Messaging settings.

-Soft reboot in Reboot menu.

-Filter notifications in Privacy.

That's all I know at this moment.

Most recent nightly for Skyrocket is available since 08/25.

Ok didn't realize a new nightly came out yesterday. Yay!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
For some reason after a certain period of time the dialer screws up. I can place/accept calls, but neither I or the other caller can hear anything when I call/answer. Rebooting fixes it temporarily, but it seems to break again after an arbitrary amount of time, about 30 minutes to an hour maybe from what I can tell. All volume settings are fine, I checked that. I can't pinpoint any app or anything like that that's causing this, it just breaks 30 or so minutes after rebooting.. if I want to call someone/accept a call, I have to reboot my phone. Happens on 8/25, 9/1, and 9/8 nightlies. I didn't seem to have the problem before installing 8/25.

Anyone else??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
I (and others) had this issue on PA's rom as well. One user figured it out. Snapchat is the culprit. Ever since I uninstalled it, I can make and receive calls no problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Hmm. Interesting. Uninstalled for now. Wonder if there's a specific permission you could turn off with App Ops to circumvent having to completely remove the app. Keep phone awake, maybe?

Anyway.. Now I'm having another problem.. The dialer doesn't hang up. The button turns gray and at the top it says "hanging up" but it stays connected until the call is terminated from the other end. I thought it was related to the snapchat thing but apparently not as it's been uninstalled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:

Keyboard BUG in CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141103-0333-skyrocket.zip

Not sure if I am posting in the right place as far as BUGS are concerned.

Carbon ROM has issues where once you change the settings of the keyboard, it stops working and throws up the "Unfortunately the AOSP keyboard has stopped working..." message. I got fed up thinking I was installing the "wrong" Gapps but after much experimentation, I decided, Carbon ROM is the problem, not the Gapps. With or Without GAPPS, They keyboard kept crashing after I meddled with its Settings. Clearing Keyboard Data and Cache allowed it to work again, but this was unacceptable because I needed the other settings. So to break it down further, I did each setting by setting and found that changing the Keyboard theme color to BLUE caused it to crash. This never happened before and I could not figure out why it was so I went back into recovery, wiped it clean, and Flashed again. Same problem.

CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141103-0333-skyrocket.zip

I really like this ROM, aside from this minor issue and also the Launcher, which crashed once or twice and also does not allow removing screens and does not allow changing the number of rows and columns in the Main application Drawer.

Is there anyway to keep AOSP keyboard, and keep the settings, without this keyboard crashing? Anyone else having this same issue?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
Have you ever tried Google keyboard? Google now launcher?

Sent from my XT1045
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ocd_amp:
Yes. Yes.

Both crash. "Unfortunately......has closed" Freezes up the entire system, have to force close, Stop process, clear Data.

Normal procedure followed, to the dot, 3 times.

Recovery (TWRP) - Wipe System,Data,Cache

Install - Carbon, reboot, Set keyboard the way I want, Force close.

Repeat Procedure. This time, Flash gapps after reboot. Crash.

Repeat Procedure. This time, Flash Rom + Gapps BOTH. Crash.

From what I narrowed it down to, Keyboard settings causes the crash. Switching theme to "Blue" because I like to see the Shift button highlighted when going uppercase.

Manually stopping The Keyboard and Clearing Data makes it work again - but this is not desireable because Clearing Data removes any settings you have configured.

This ROM is using the CM kernel. I did not have time and did not want to muck around with flashing another kernel just to get this ROM working. The ONLY time I flash a kernel is if I am looking for a specific functionality.

Although Carbon is LOADED with options, I found an alternative ROM with a different kernel (boots a little bit slower but is Stable) with a better launcher. It is a little simpler but much more stable. I wish that Android API allowed for Mobile Data to be off while only turning it on for MMS delivery then turning it back off, but that problem got solved by using a different SMS app, and that's a whole another topic.

Thanks for reading!

finally i want to know whats new on the new 136., thanks for opening this :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
I have updated and here's my thought:

1. Status bar font seems to be getting bigger by the size?

2. Superior Auto still overprocess the photo because of the noise caused by high ISO

3. Slight yellowish Hue at the start, but easily balanced with White Balance (Blue 60 and Red 20 for me)

4. Bluetooth somewhat got improved, My Keyboard still going on and off but reconnecting quite fast now.

5. Battery life is a bit improved (for now) used to be like 10% for a 30 minute screen time, to about 10% for 45 minute of screen time. (with browsing as the main activity)

I still have the wifi bug "association rejected" on my Ultra. I have this device for just about 5 days and I'm starting to hate it!

.290 or .136: Both of them make my wifi unusable. After restarting / flashing / resetting the Wifi works for a certain amount of time and then stops. Tested at home and in the office: Same problems :(

I've read about that in the Z1 forum, too. Is this a hardware or a software problem? I guess there's no Sony device that works completely fine :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Justin^Tan:
hmm, mine has authentication problem also, it works fine on the same router before, but now it cant connect at all, so i have to use virtual router on my laptop for my Zu to be able to connect

any solution for this? i tried it on other hotspot area as well but mostly got authentication problem, even though i'm 110% sure the password is correct

is there any way to completely reset our wifi setting etc so it can be fresh again instead of factory reset? much too hassle and didnt work for good either
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qtlestat:
Thanks. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do a repair as it's tedious to download the apps... And doing a backup and restore is too uncertain as it imight also backup the problem... :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lightbird:
Dunno what`s the problem that makes your Sony doing something like this, but you can try the following in the Router Settings:

-Download the App WiFi Analyzer and select the channel which has the lowest traffic

-Use a WiFi-channel thats under 11 (where WiFi Analyzer says there is the lessest Traffic)

-try to use the 2,5 GhZ channel instead of the 5 GhZ

-try to use the 5 GhZ Channel

-try to stay directly between your router (if this helps you may need a repeater)

and if this still doesnt help: try to contact Sony support, maybe they know a solution.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
Whilst all of these are great troubleshooting solutions - you should not *have* to do any of these things for Wi-Fi connectivity.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fjevel:
If the wifi spectrum in your area is saturated, you will see trouble on mobile devices before you see it on your pcs. This is simple physics due to both size and power issues.

When saturation is to blame, you cannot really avoid it in any other way than what is suggested here. That is the nature of wifi.

However I am wondering if something else might be amiss here. I have both the Z1 and the Ultra and have never seen any problems with authentication. What security settings are those of you with the problem using on your routers?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kotomirage:
My PC Companion is not notifying me of .136 update for my ZU. I checked my Software ID under Settings>About>Diagnostics>DeviceFacts and it says the ID is 'C6833 R1B'. I'm guessing I fudged editing the build.prop file somewhere on the way to flashing .290 firmware.

Just wondering, will a factory reset restore build.prop? I don't have root and I'm not too keen on trying to get it for .290 firmware, what's the easiest way to correct my build.prop file?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] system02:
I'm using Wpa2 at home and the office router uses the same type. After a reset the device works for a certain amount of time and then stops. The Network is displayed as "out of range" (1m next to the router!!) or it says "association rejected" after turning wife on/off for a few times. I don't know if it's hardware or software as other devices work without problems in the same network! Now I'm in the office and it works again!?!?. I guess in 1-2 hours it stops and nothing works. Very strange...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
For anyone about to update, it seems ClearAudio and Sound Enhancements are not working correctly. Now it only works with Walkman when it works and it is not applying to FLAC files only MP3s while in 290 it was working with all file types and any app :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
An audiophile will tell you that the purest sound from the Ultra is achieved when you turn off all the 'enhancements'.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I use my ears to listen to music not a Sound Pressure Level Meter.

I worked for a speakers company before for a long time, had all fancy stuff audiophiles love, purest signal from source to receiver, fancy interconnectors, avoiding too many digital to analog conversions, bit perfect playing...all that.

No headphone, recording, phone or your ears for that matter, are perfect so you use the tools available to compensate for the shortcomings and make the sound something you can enjoy..which at the end is the only thing that matter. Some love to stare at graphs...others actually enjoy the music. ;)

Back to OP....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ryland Johnson:
I understand your point completely. It is certainly true that the less processing the signal passes through the purer the reproduction is from the source however.............Will you enjoy the source? I started buying hi-fi in the late 60's and made a hobby of it. Spent a fortune on the stuff. The speakers cables cost me about 200.00€ per meter not to mention the cost of the interconnects.

The problem is how far does one go? In terms of seeking the purist sound its best to go and see a live concert where the atmosphere can be part of the experience. As for home listening its either go high in specification and set it all up correctly or keep it reasonable and not have the costs and the worry. In my lounge I have a 10k set up, in the home office a 1k set up and find the 1k set up more pleasurable to listen to. Most annoying :D

In terms of portable sound.........With few exceptions Sony have always been a very decent brand. Cannot and will not start using the term the best as no persons ears or tastes in sound reproduction are the same.

I only took delivery of my Ultra yesterday. Was fine sound reproduction UNTILL I connected to the PC to download some files then Sony updated the system, after that the sound has gone to pot. I will have to have a play again latter on BUT this new upgrade has NOT improved the sound quality.

I use both in ear and head phones both Sennheiser and am not as pleased with the sound repro' on the Ultra that I was on the Xperia Z. The Xperia Z was amazing and matched any portable MP3 player I have ever owned. I was not surprised at this as Sony are famous for portable sound repro'. So far I am having problems with the Ultra?

Regardless, what you write has an awful lot of sense. Money will not always bring the desired sound one enjoys. Often the more one spends the more one needs to continue to spend if you see what I mean, like peeing in the sand!:eek:

No portable device comes with decent enough head phones. Invest in some decent headphones to get the best possible sound from all these mobile devices. That is well worth the trouble.

Ryland
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Excellent post my friend.

I remember always doing a simple experiment when listening to regular speakers...simply changing the shape of your ears a little bit with your hands can change the sound, highs etc, you hear...so you can imagine how impossible it is to find the ONE product that matches everyone when even tiny changes like those, change what you hear. :D

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ryland Johnson:
This is obviously true BUT there are caveats to that. Far too many to write of here. In terms of portable sound from a phone .........we have to be realistic. In terms of trying to achieve any sort of decent quality one needs to use head phones and not the ones supplied with the device. Spend some extra cash on a medium cost pair of head phones, say 40€ to 60€ and most people can tell the difference, that is if one is BOTHERED by any difference to start with.

Now we have to always remember that a speaker can only reproduce what the source feeds it. To that end a mobile phone is never going to blow ones socks of with sheer quality, what it can do is provide a very nice listening experience providing one does not use ones audiophiles experience to asses the sound, doing so is foolish.

Sony fortunately do in general manufacture very decent portable musical devices. Its in their DNA as a company.

Ryland
