@ chauhanjayc

thank you for the reply..

But in the morning after latest system update, on T2 Ultra dual sim,

Just now I am facing or realized that, volume up button is causing some trouble for the device...

If I press the volume up button once, when volume level is somewhere at middle or low level,

It increase to highest level.. & also after that the Power button doesn't respond, the way it is suppose to work.. If I press power button for more than 3 sec phone restarts & all buttons works fine, until I press Volume UP button..

Then after things repeats as mentioned above.. :( as soon as volume up button is pressed..

any help?

I have not installed any additional app before or after recent system update related to audio system.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
if this is happening in stock rom then must visit sony care for handset check

and if after flashing any mod then mod is creating issue
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
I havent rooted my device or not using any custom rom..

I have just noticed this problem..

The only thing is done recently is official system update by sony..

Nothing has been modified or anything..
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
then go to sony store and ask for repair
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
yesterday I went to service centre.. but due to rush i have decided to come back later.. :(

but today.. since morning there was no problem at all.... working fine.. :good: till now.. :finger cross:
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
Even though u should get it checked for once
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
ok.. on monday.. thanx for the reply.. :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Hi. Thanks for sharing.

I've rooted my t2 dual. Would I still receive update notification ? I've checked and until today, 25th, I still haven't received the update notification yet.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
yes you will

but if you dont wona wait

then take FTF and flash it

yesterday working fine.. now again same problem...

& If you tried the new CM please share your reviews :D

have a good day
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
Not yet

Coz m on locked bootloader
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Hi chauhanjayc

Can you share how much improvement you have observed in the update 2? Thanks in advance.

Regards
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
A massive battery

great performance

new charging icon when phone is off

low memory issue after long hours is gone

music shuttering some time and stopping is gone

buttery smoothly animations no lags

switching apps is bit batter

and much more
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Wow.. That's a long list. Will attempt to update. Thanks for sharing.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
@ chauhanjayc :D

I got question for you buddy :D

how can I downgrade my Walkman app update? :confused:

if u remember that i told you about my T2 volume up button problem..

the thing is that I found out, this problem is due to Walkman update :eek:

when I disable or force stop sound enhancement service, which is related to walkman,

my phone functions without any problem :victory:

So how can I downgrade my Walkman app update? :confused:

As it is clear now, that, only that update is making all the trouble.. :(
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] an95dy:
Hi everyone! it's my first post here so be good for me :) I recently purchased this phone. I did an update by Sony PC Companion and in "about phone" section it says : 19.1.1.A.0.165.

But I see you guys discuss different version of software. Is it newer or older version than I have? I'm quite new in Sony Android Software and this letters are quite confusing for me :)
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
yes dear that one is the latest one the only difference is we all talking about

T2 Ultra Dual while yours is T2 Ultra

feel free to ask any thing

have fun

hit thanks button if it helped
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] an95dy:
So, may I expect this version of software on "single-sim" of T2? BTW, I am rly surprised how good is battery in this phone already and you guys saying that after update it's even better. Hard to imagine that tho :D
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
i am not advising anything for just saying

why would you compromise when world is not having issue with that update and your phone is

guess in future update walkman brings some that is too much usefull or something with new UI, and seeing by the historical update it will then would you like to compromise that?

just think on it buddy

also about you main question

before installing go to settings

download apk from here http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/12/new-walkman-update-8-4-a-3-1-brings-folder-support/

and install

have fun
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
well first understand both T2 ultra dual and T2 ultra are both different phone

one is single sim and another is dual sim

so both will have different software that is why the build number would different

here you already have the latest update installed with the build number

moreover The availability of updates depends on your country and/or operator,

to check whether you phone has got an update or not

i need you county name and full phone details

device name

county name
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] an95dy:
[MENTION=3701480]chauhanjayc[/MENTION] I get it. I know there are 2 different versions of this phone. I import my from China so I don't know what operator was there. Now telephone is in Poland and there is polish language set on it. Full device name is Sony Xperia T2 Ultra, phone number : D5303.

Thats all what I know, if you need something else/more, tell me :)
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
no new firmware released
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Thanks for the pointers, Chauhanjayc.

I have downloaded and updated the update 2. Rooted again using the method you provided. It is working great.

It is definitely a HUGE improvement. One main area is in the Phone app. The call history would usually take 2-3 seconds to pop up. Now it is almost instant. And camera also. It pops up in 2 seconds. Everything is so much better now.

As for battery life, it is still too early to tell. 4.4.3 update 1 was pretty good in that department. I constantly getting more than 7 hours SOT. I am a heavy user. As of now, I am seeing maybe 10% better in 4.4.3 update 2.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
Ok.. about my volume up button problem.. that was related to walkman.. some bug maybe..

the guy from service centre told me.. 3 more users had same problem.. & I am 4th one..

He fixed it somehow.. didnt told me how :confused: working fine now... I love this phone.. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] krishna442:
Firmware Version

so, they did release the new update with the same firmware version?

I'm on 19.1.1.C.0.56.... I still see system update tagged with 19.1.1.C.0.56 in the update center and I've updated to 4.4.3 over the air,, :confused: :confused:
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Didn't receive any notice in my update center. So I downloaded the file and update on my own.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] krishna442:
Updated using pc companion... I haven't seen any change in ui... But battery life has increased ? and unused ram is more ?...now.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Have you noticed the overall performance improvement?
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] krishna442:
Not much... But can feel Somewhat..

Battery improved ?
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] shubhamanand141:
can you please post FTF file of the new update. i tried to update through PC companion but couldn't do it. its too slow. saying its gonna take atleast 3 hours. Can you please post it here.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

I found it your uploaded FTF. It's 1.05 GB. is it actually that size or you added something to it. i mean did you modify it or is it as it came from sony.

Hey, i got a another problem. Sometime when i play music, it sometimes stop and them resumes after 30 some seconds. first i thought this issue was with walkman, so i bought poweramp but the issue persists. i have also used some other player too. so i just want to know that if this issues is with my phone and its hardware or is is a firmware bug.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
this issue is with firmware sometime it happens to me also

only sony can fix it

or may be CM rom will do

by the way to all here is my full observation on battery and ram using almost 3 days without a single reboot or any task killer

screens are
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Hi. I've noticed from your screen shot that you have a lot of available Ram. Can you share your setup? Like what apps to disable and what app to greenify? Thanks
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
well i dont use greenify but yes i use amplify to save battery

i have facebook whats app and both gmail and yahoo mail in sony mail app been set up

i am useing most of Z3 apps like home clock widgets may be that is the reason of free ram also my lock screen is from Z3

there is it no more extra set up

i think for me sony has done a great job in this update with greatest battery life and much batter ram management
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jychow74:
Maybe the z3 apps are more memory efficient. I'm getting about 250 mb only. It is ok most of the time. But it is not harm to have more. ?
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] hamid_n:
Hi guys.

Why didn't I receive new update yet? Not through update center on phone, nor in pc companion!! I bought my phone on 13 October and I updated my phone to 4.4.3 on the same day. After that I didn't receive any update!!! Maybe I'm already using new update!! How can I know that I'm using new update or not!?

I have T2 ultra dual D5322 model.

New version Slimkat 8.10 compiled today . New kernel with Tomoyo security enabled (as opposed to Apparmor). Enjoy.

See Download section

________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is the famous Slimkat 4-4-4 rom built from sources a few hours ago. Changes made to kernel only and they are the following:

Hardened Kernel with the following features:

a. Selinux disabled (don't trust them) and APPARMOR enabled as main security

b. All crypto core features enabled

c. All authenticated encryption modes enabled - CCM, GCM and SEQIV

d. All blocks enabled - CBC, CTR, CTS, ESB, LRW, PCBC and XTS

e. All hash modes enabled including SHA512 and others

f. All ciphers enabled including CAMELIA, TWOFISH, ANUBIS, SALSA20 and others

g. Compression - DEFLATE, ZLIB and LZO

h. Random number generation all options enabled to result in a better generation without CPU wakeups

Credit: Slimroms Team

WARNINGS:

I am not responsible for your device becoming a paperweight. I am also not responsible for death and destruction caused by your flashing this rom on your device. You are at your own perill. Complain to Putin - he will surely help.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unlocked Bootloader

2. If you have CWM, go to mounts and storage and wipe System/Cache/Data

3. If you have TWRP, go to advanced wipe and wipe System/Cache/Data

4. Flash the rom and reboot.

5. I recommend that you delete Cyanogenmod original boot animation as it slows down the boot significantly: without it your boot should take about 25 seconds. Once you remove bootanimation.zip in /system/media, you will have a nice vanilla android bootanimation.

6. Enjoy the rom and hit Thank You or perhaps Donate?

P.S. Rom is in Download Section above

Thanks Man.. Please keep up the good work
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] srqrox:
OP, it must be terrible to be asked over and over again but I'd be very glad if you could tell what those changes in the kernel that you have introduced mean for the end user. So to speak, what can we expect after installing this? is this more security oriented or would the random number generation is related to entropy stuff and is supposed to speed up the system?

I saw your other thread too, wanted to give it a try but couldn't understand what these changes to the kernel actually mean for a layman.

Thanks man for your work!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
It is actually both security oriented and system speed based on better random number generation.

First of all, I don't trust Selinux, especially in light of the recent Snowden's revelations. So, selinux is out of this kernel. Instead, you have trusted Apparmor, which has been used in Linux for years. In addition, many newer ciphers, which are in this kernel, were disabled by default -- again think of several 3-letter-agencies that are known for deliberately weakening kernels and operating systems to make it easiers for themselves to break. So, I have enabled those ciphers. Hashes, especially SHA512, which is the strongest, were disabled by default. I have enabled them all. Random number generation: the same.

So, as result, you have a more secure system that is faster, because of better and more random seeding.. If you remember, there is an app on XDA, which the author says, provides better random number generation, but it drains battery, because CPU constantly checks if the pool (of random numbers) is large enough. Here, it is different, because the changes (better and more random seeding ) are on the kernel level. So, CPU does not have to constantly wake up and check...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] srqrox:
Got it, thanks for the great explanation bro.

I totally get it now, would be trying Aragon one today would definitely come and report how that works!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Great work buddy,

Can you share your kernel sources?

I might include some of your changes in official slimkat :p

also out of curiosity, if the change is only on the kernel, wouldn't it be easier to share the kernel only!:confused:

Regards,

Omar.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Of course it is easier to do the kernel only, but I haven't found the way to do that outside of building the whole rom. Plus, in CM roms, I know where to put those changes: row rhine honam_def.conf and if you look at my sources for Black Argon rom, you will find the changes there.. But Slimroms guys use some other file, so I put my .config file in during the build. Plus, for the new kernel to work, you need modules from the rom you will be using it in and roms differ from one to another. So, for now, it is easier for me to build the whole rom.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] avirale123:

it is a hope to be in a rom kk

if this rom has the same problem that all

Auto rotate not working anywhere
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Yes. For some reason autorotate does not work. I even recompiled the 8.12 version and it still does not work. The Slim original 8.12 is fine. It is also not my kernel, because I am using my kernel with Slimkat original weekly without any problem. I am puzzled as to why it is happening...

The only change in build.prop I made was to add 3 entries regarding rild. You can try to open build.prop and delete those three entries (search for "rild" and delete them). But I don't think rild has anything to do with the sensors.

Installed this 4.4.4 version and it works gr8.. but my recovery is gone

Tried : Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer and Fota.. both states that it works but my recovery never "boots" just stands there with a another light on the phone..

Suggestions anyone ?

Now i have a working 4.4.4 Rom but no working recovery (light changes but recovery never boots, when i press volume)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Kitkat custom roms have in boot.img recovery, which collide with fota recovery. You need to get rid of one or you will have no recovery at all. The easiest way is to erase fota recovery:

Boot to fastboot and do this: fastboot erase recovery; then fastboot reboot. That's it. :)

Hello,

I own a Qtek S200 and I have loaded it with every possible ROM without solving my problem. The problem is a very strong memory leak.

After a reset I have something like 17 mb free. At the end of the day I end up with around 5 Mb and here we go for another reset.

I am using SPB Pocket Plus so every task I start is completely closed when I am done with it.

Does anybody have the same problem? Is there any solution?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vijay555:
xtrips - great topic title! A+ for effort

You'll have to detail what software you've got installed, and for your own benefit, try hard resetting and running the device without any software installed to confirm the location of the leak. Frankly advice is going to be - hard reset, re-install one app at a time and run it for a while, until you find the one that leaks.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Hi, I'm having the same kind of problems, never got time to test and check if it's software or OS related..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] xtrips:
Need help!

Hi,

I just want to know how much RAM do you have left after a soft reset and if it holds an acceptable amount of free ram in the long run.

I have tried every available ROM on my S200 and I usually run the following softwares:

- SPB diary, weather, time, insight

- Wisbar Advanced

Well after soft reset I have something like 18 Mb free but after an hour it gets to 10. The morning after I only have 6 or 5. At this point it is useless to try to run anything. It just freezes.

I usually do at least 2 or 3 soft resets a day.

I am sick of it and I would like to know if anybody shares the same experience?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jeff:
Ditto here too, a memory leak of some sort. Installed SKs soft to 'get back' the RAM which just sends hibernate calls to running soft and has them free up what RAM they have accumulated thus far. I also found that at the end of the day my filesys.exe, gwes.exe and my shell32.exe have trippled or even quadruppled in size and anything I try to free up the RAM is futile - soft reset gets it back to around 18MB. By the way I don't have any SPB Software installed either, it probably isn't any faulty soft, I am thinking that it has to do with these ROMs that we flash with. When the original QTEK ROM was installed the RAM at boot was already at 18 - 20MB and now with 2.20.7.34 it starts with 2.2MB and then jumps back to +/- 18MB after about 10 seconds or so... something in there is clanking around somewhere but I am not a mechanic.

Just my input, I would like to not have to do 2 or 3 reboots per day too...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Hi there, just found that loaded app's dlls won't be unloaded, even if you use a task manager to really close the apps. That seems intended by design, it's not a memory leak (as they won't be loaded again the next time you start that app).

So.... if you use few apps, either intensively or not, you won't have to restart your ppc all the time. BUT if you use many (many) apps, even if you only launch them once per day, you may have to reboot everyday once your memory will be completely filled with those dlls. EVERYTHING uses dlls (and they have not much in common), including creating a new contact, new task, viewing your calendar, launching a settings applet, etc.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] uccoffee:
i have got the same problem, using AKU 2.3 ROM, which ROM are you guys using? And what today plugins have you got?

I have:

luncher

spb diary 2.2.1

ptravelalarm 2.7 beta
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] xtrips:
Don't bother....

I've been evolving around the same set apps loaded in my PDA from the beginning, on the other hand I tried 'almost' all the AKU's around and i can tell you that:

- only when I tried AKU's 3.x or WM6, and only then, I could clearly notice a serious improvement in memory management.

I was always blaming the software I was installing but i ran many tests including running my PDA with the OS only, not even loading Extended ROM stuff. Well my S200 always behaved badly.

The problem is these AKU's are still very buggy and i had to reverse back to the release Qtek version 2.2 os.

It's the worse for memory management (i wake up sometimes wit only 2.3 mb memory lesft to use!) but it still is the most stable and all features works.

That's all.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Marc MD:
has anyone thought of a way around this? or a way to increase RAM for that matter? i've been using PocketIE and after 3 or more additional windows via spb pocketplus, the prophet slows down drastically or worse it hangs when i check the RAM it's already critically low.. i tried rebooting the prophet and running only PocketIE again through GPRS (3 windows again) still the same thing.. slows or hangs.. any workarounds here? BTW im using iMate ROM 2.13.9.23WWE if it helps.. RAM starts up at 18MB..
