bump? any ideas? also i cant seem to stream music via bluetooth to the car.. it connects but the music doesnt stream ...

so what can i do to help with this problems..? logcats? or is this just not possible with this rom to get this things to work?

Making DLNA and music stream to car via bluetooth possible to work again would be great.

Camera seems to draw power when locked

Hello, long time reader, first time poster here. I have been running b22 for a few weeks now which for me is extraordinarily stable, battery friendly, and certainly well enough as a daily driver. I might update to b23 but honestly, at the moment I am shying away from changing versions because judging from the changelog it does not improve on the problems I simply don't have.

However, one thing I notice is that when I use the stock camera app and lock the phone without closing the camera (as I have done on stock FW all the time, taking a picture and stowing it away again without thinking too much), the phone seems to draw multiple times as much battery as when I remember to actively close the camera app. Am I alone in this observation? Can it be relieved by using another camera app (Google camera)? Is there a way to get an original Xperia camera back on my phone, since the stock camera app is pretty barebones (not to say: crappy) anyway? Or is this something that needs to be improved with the ROM?

Cheers,

(and thanks to mickybart and all others involved for giving my XS another lease on life)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You should try the Google Camera, is has pretty good features too. I always removed the ROM camera app.Currently there is no fully working port of Sony Camera for CM/AOSP.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] metai:
Thank you, that was indeed helpful. Google Camera seems to be the way better camera app in many aspects. And it seems to solve my problem, at least partially: When launched from the lock screen, it doesn't keep running in the background when re-locking the phone. When launched from an unlocked phone, it seems to stay in the recent apps, I'll have to see if it stays as "active" and battery draining as the AOSP camera.

However, this poses another problem: The physical camera button insists on starting the AOSP camera app, and if I disable it in the settings, it doesn't do anything but acknowledge the button press with a short vibration. Any way to tie a different camera to the physical button?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Ah yes, the physical button doesn't launch the Google Camera, but does work while taking photo. You could always try using Xposed, might pose some problems though. If You uninstall ROM camera, You can launch Google Camera from Lockscreen shortcut.

The camera would appear in recent apps if You have used it. And the apps in recent apps don't use battery, they are merely shortcuts to the apps for the last instance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] metai:
Eh, it's okay, that's just a minor quibble. Activating the camera from locked state via button doesn't work anyway (like it did in stock FW), and then I might as well use the lockscreen icon (I already disabled the stock cam from apps, same effect as uninstalling) or an icon on my homescreen.

But that's the thing: The stock camera app, when I leave it on when locking the phone, remains somewhat active and most definitely does cause a much higher battery draw (~5 to 6%/h compared to a pretty consistent ~1.0 to 1.5%/h in regular locked state). Maybe it doesn't get shut down properly when the phone enters locked state.

I just tried to provoke the same behaviour with Google Camera for a few hours, it doesn't happen, battery draw stays at a very low ~1%/h. So that seems to have solved two of my problems at once. I'm just trying to report it in case it is something that needs to be remedied in the ROM.

Xperia s b23 overclocked

Hi there,

All right very good ROM I tried b19 and b23. A few issues:

My XS often loses connection so I need to reboot, both when I use it and when it's in stand by;

I really liked audio eq from b19, could you restore it in next update?

Battery drain is really bad, but I imagine you know well that issue.

Thank you and good job!

Some bugs?

I noticed some possible bugs:

-after a long period in airplan mode, the phone doesn't find the line or the SIM; I need to reboot.

-when I leave on the GPS after an use (ex. Maps) the GPS makes a battery drain (in fact if I switch on during use of Maps and after I switch off, this doesn't happen but in this way if I take a photo I don't have the position). In the stock rom I haven't found this problem.

-sometimes during a call (mainly during a coll finishing) if I move the phone far from my ear the screen doesn't switch on and I cannot command the phone.

-Often is hot and the battery drains fast

-no Headphones icon when plugged

Somebody the same problems? Solved in some way?

Thanks,

Joachim

Caller Problem with b23

Sometimes the accept call screen does not appear while a call is received. There ist only the lock screen and till I have unlock the phone the call is mostly gone.

Similar behavior while navigation with ALK copilot premium. The navigation app stays in front, no button to accept or decline the call appears.

With stock rom, the navigation app goes to the background and the call screen apears.

Has someone else similar problems with this rom?

By the way, this one is great, the phone is with rom usable again, before with the latest stock rom it was useless...

I can confirm problems with switching off airplane mode. But I don't think it is time related. I use airplane mode every night (sometimes except weekend), while sleeping usually quite about the same time. It rather seems to occur after some airplane on-offs. I tried it now, switching airplane mode on and off is working fine twice, then third time after i entered PIN code, it keeps saying SIM not found or the like (phone is German). I'm not sure if it is always the third time, but this way it would appear once to twice per week, which is possible (I didn't count actually). Maybe i can get a logcat...

Hello my freinds! I have problem with install ROM.

I had problems with last ROM therefore I decided to reinstall system completely.

I was downgrade my lolipop to stock Android 4.1.2.

For this purpose I used Flashtool.

After downgrade I intstall: SU, TMRW, Clockworkmod recovery and RASHR app to flash kernel.

My next step was to install this ROM. But recovery gives error.

I tried to correct it, having removed some lines in updater-script (ROM\META-INF\com\google\android), but it didn't help

Help me please.

With best regards, Moon.

You're welcome!

I don't really know if it's Facebook causing this issue. I restored it using a titanium Backup, then when I tried to install the upgrade the problems began (reboot during update, at reboot some apps deleted, from that moment random soft reboot with "app optimization" at start)

I can live without Facebook so I'm not going to install it during my holiday because I need my phone :P

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] basyirboy:
After a while I decided to install Facebook from play store. It was fine, it's just that it took very long time to install, I didnt even got any notification that it was installed but suddenly it appeared in my apps drawer. I was using it until at one point my battery ran out and i thought of rebooting it. It got stuck on Sony logo and it's not going any further. So I let my phone to charge while it was off. Few minutes later i was able to boot into my home screen but i noticed it hangs when i unlocked the screen and it always happen no matter how many times i unlock it. Then i decided to uninstall the facebook app. After that i didnt have any issues at all.

Sorry for the long reply, but my point was facebook seems to be unstable with this ROM. it's not functioning well after a while and it affects the overall performance of the ROM.

Hopefully [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION] can do something about it in the next built.

Conclusion: Dont install Facebook app in your b24

Random shutdown fix

For those having random shutdown, now you have 3 ways fixing it.

1) Never install facebook app. This is the prime reason why we are getting random shutdowns, the latest one is causing it.

2) Install older version of official facebook app. I did installed v30.0.0.x.x and since then i never had any shutdowns at all

3) Install alternative facebook apps. There are quite many we can find in play store, so the choice is yours.

I can confirm this as I reflashed my stock ROM and still had the same random shutdown problem. So this problem is not due to the ROM, but the Facebook app
