Upgrade to Firmware 2.09.720.1

I upgraded to firmware 2.09.720.1 and I have noticed that there have been major improvements in performance.
The phone does not lag anymore.
Also I noticed that the Media Link HD has been added to connectivity.
I wanted to know if any other improvements have been made by this upgrade, since I could not find any log stating the changes...

True, that.
Also, the 3 finger gesture has been added and enabled by default which directly allows you to connect to Media Link HD. Just swipe from 3 fingers to get started

It is taking too long for this update to roll out in India.

I am in India too and I got the update. I have unlocked the bootloader and I was surprised that I got the OTA working without requiring locking it. Maybe it is a requirement for running RUU only. All I had to do was flash back the stock recovery for the OTA flashing to work.
Edit:
Update gave me a new baseband and that renders the RUU I have useless. Started getting reboots when answering phone calls. Went back my trusted modaco vanilla and a kernel I have built updated to kernel verrsion 3.0.38

How?? Cz I'm looking in the updates its telling me my phone is up to date

India does not have carrier locked phones, hence phones are rather expensive as there are no deals!

NO. Instead, switching between tabs is smoother and faster after the update.. I don't have the Calendar/Agenda issue..

The Network Operator name is also fixed.
On the lock screen and in the notification bar it used to show "airtel".
Now it shows "AirTel"
Posted just because this thread asks about the new in the update..

It is crashing for me as soon as I enter the default Calendar app of HTC except that no issues. Also I tried searching for it and found that many users are facing this issue. Sad on part of HTC, they should work on getting this fixed

Help
I am thinking of buying a htc one V,my requirements are moderately heavy games, apps and not too much multitasking..
since both the One V and Ace 2 have similar price, what phone would you recommend?
Thanks n advance

For heavy gaming the Ace 2 would be probably better (2 core, but 800mhz vs 'ghz simple core, and MALI400 vs Adreno205, and more RAM). The question is that the look of the phone will be enough for you

music player
hey folks i got a new problem while playing music on headset on my HTC one v updated to 2.09.720.1. it knocks in every song like a sharp noisy spikes. i restart the phone and song continue to play where i left flawless but after 30 odd seconds of play song stops playing and when i play the song the same knocking sound appears... anyone having this problem?? what should i do? it happened after the update.

The new update gives boot loops
I had updated to the new update! now the phone restarts every few hours and also when the phone RAM gets a bit loaded! has any 1 experienced this? What should i do? I factory formatted , still no good results! its still rebooting..

@ 1:33 : It's Xperia ION final firmware ? Because leak wasn't smooth like this....

Can you upload it elsewhere? Can't download it becuase "it has been downloaded too many times" lol

Never mind, eventually I was able to download it

downloading
thanx dude

Disappointed for no Wi-Fi Direct, yet.
And also not that smooth, maybe I need a clean installation or factory reset.

Root by Bin4rys method on ICS 45.
i Shall not update untill there is a way to root the new update JB...
BTW most safe way to update is apparently using SUS

Try using Super Beam available in Play Store. It supports NFC too

well thanks for the video, in the camera i dont have the icon that you have the yello/golden coloured one.. i guess its for HDR which i had in the cybershot mod...
guess there are some features that some others dont have with the update..
i really loved the way camera improved, its really good now. superb shots in low light and well faster focus and better colour.
what i didnt like is that we dont have bravia engine2 and stamina mode nor screen mirroring..

y screen mirroring is not there???

k..so, no stamina, no photoburst, no hdr, no wifidirect nor other cool feature we can see in many other (sony and not)devices.
I'm really missing just small apps, that's it, but I'll stick with pac, for the moment.
Let the chef bake some candies, and then we'll come back to simil-stock. maybe.

my data now does not work :S it was perfect and know i activate it and nothing :S i even configure it again and nothing :S i'm from mexcio and with ics no problems -.-

[Q] Xperia S Jelly Bean After Install Problem (Volume Up Key)

I find this coincidence too hard to believe, but my volume "up" key stopped working right after updating to Jelly Bean. I also checked in the service menu and it doesn't recognize when I push it there either. Anyone else find this too big of a coincidence?

I suffer from that sh*t too bro. A lot of bugs in this firmware. Shame on sony. I thought they put a lot of effort into this

Yeah same here, frstily i though it's hardware problem, but after i turn off phone button work for some time and than after few minutes it's doesnt work again.

Same for my Acro S
I hate the JB update now
it very annoying and full of bugs
Sony has become a Sh*T for me now
Touch also has become non responsive especially while games and home screen

I've had the same problem. I'm thinking of just unlocking the bootloader and installing Cyanogenmod. I don't think Sony is going to give us any more bug fixes or updates after 211. The whole Jelly Bean update has been half ass. They are more focused on their newer phones and on getting sales revenues on those devices. After the marketing buzz wears off you're on your own.

Me too
I have same issue, at mo i press volume down then slide it to higher volume touching the screen, but would like a proper fix

I am also thinking about unlocking the bootloader. Just typed in : *#*#7378423#*#* and went straight to the rooting status. It says bootloader unlock allowed: no. According to these and what i've read on the forums, I will never be able to unlock my phone (i have rooted it but that had also some problems) and install a custom rom?

I have the same problem but I downgrade my phone to 4.0.4.
I suggest to downgrade and wait for anthor firmware from Sony

Volume up button issue has been solved
There was a problem in functioning volume up button in xperia s after updating jelly bean and There is no Refresh option in the music library ( Walkman) so that there is a issue in updating after adding or removing songs. Now these two issues will be solved if you follow the following steps.
To Refresh music library in walkman and to funtion volume up button, follow the following steps:-
(1) Settings -- Applications -- Internal -- Running -- All -- Walkman (152kb) -- Clear data
(2) Settings -- Applications -- Internal -- Running -- All -- Walkman (4.18 MB) -- Clear data
(3) Settings -- Applications -- Internal -- Running -- All -- Play Now -- Clear data
After doing all these steps, my walkman music library has been refreshed ( after adding or deleting songs) and Volume up button has been started working properly now.
I hope this will help for all the xperia s owners.
Wishing you all the best

I also have some minor/major bugs since the JB update,with ICS I had fast charge, but now on JB I dont have it...and it drains my battery, this new Power saver is not any help...I hate it,It must be inactive for a while to work(?!) f*ck this sh*t...and same problem with wolumen key, I don't even want to mention gaming and userface problem while charging...
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I can't blame Sony for this one because the same volume-up issue that affects me on the lt28h stock Jelly Bean firmware plagues me on the Cyanogen 10.1.2 install on my Nook Color.
Testing it out on my Ion, I'm finding that the problem is not limited to the Walkman app. TuneIn Radio was affected, too.
It tends to repair itself after a reboot, but that's fairly inconvenient.

Unofficial CM11

Good news, everyone! CM 11 is running
So far, everything except ANT+ seems to be working, but I couldn't test all of it. So you be the judge. If you have any problems, fix them. Help each other, I might even try to help, but I don't have the time to fully maintain this build. Device trees and everything needed to build this will come shortly and I'm sure someone capable will take over maintenance, soon!
As with every CyanogenMod rom, you will need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. Gapps are not included.
I am not responsible for any bricking or data loss or whatsoever!

This rom has nothing to do with stock.. Apart from a couple of proprietary firmware files.

I'm testing the rom and will report back as soon as I find anything interesting. I'm really excited!

Yay! Great news!

Works great, but has a few bugs
First off, thank you so much for putting this together.
I'll be able to pull logs later when I get home, but quickly:
Animations run very slowly. I've disabled them for the time being.
I've had some issues waking from sleep. Will try to isolate.
The camera launches very slowly, but this is also the case on the Z1 CM11 build.

I've found the following issues so far:
Proximity sensor does not work (ANT+ related, I assume)
Photosphere does not show up at all, no matter what camera version you install. I have a 4.3 camera whose Photosphere worked fine on the stock rom. I tested others and none worked on CM 11
Yes, animations/transitions are slow in certain situations, but not always
I'm not sure the battery level is being measured correctly. Either this thing is amazingly more optimized or the reading is wrong. I'll be able to test that fully tomorrow when I start the day with a full charge
I'm really glad this came out. These issues are not gonna stop me from using the crap out of this rom! Thank you, OP and other contributors! :good:

Yeah they do some times for me, too. OpenGL etc are working perfectly, no idea why that happens so far. It's smooth most of the time though. Will try to debug
Never had that, could you try to replicate that error and produce logs?
It launched very slowly the first time, for me, too. But now its almost instantaneously

Don't think its ANT+ related, but yeah, I can confirm that. Will debug later
Isn't Photosphere a Nexus exclusive feature? I always thought so. But then, I only used Nexus devices in the past..
Transitions, yeah, what I wrote earlier
For now, battery seems normal for me, it has been pretty amazing on stock, too. But I haven't gotten this ROM running nearly long enough to say if battery life is longer or not.
Thanks for the reports!

Awesome work thanks !

Problem solved, I installed wrong Recovery Version from Phil. I installed the version for Z1 instead of Z1C

Playing a little bit around with CM I found some things out:
1. When I charge my phone with magnetic cable, CM thinks my phone is in docking station. As effect the sound is disabled because the phone tries to route it through the docking station port.
2. In standby, camera app should be startet if camera button is pressed. There is only an option to turn on screen and to unlock phone with camera button. So two clicks on camera button are needed to start camera, which is uncomfortable.
3. On my motorola defy, cyanogenmod supported to save apps on the sd card. Is it possible to include this feature also in this cm version?
And as already mentioned:
Camera is slow and animations are laggy.

1. Well the charging pin should only be used on docks so I think that's normal.
2. Would need some modifications for that probably.
3. Motorola defy has an outdated OS of android... apps on sdcard has been removed since android 4.0 ice cream sandwich.

1. Yeah, originally the magnetic port was just intended for docking stations, so the behaviour is kind of wanted. Not sure if the Z1(c) actually is able to route audio through the port, so maybe this actually should be disabled. There definitely should be a quick fix to make this adjustable at least.
2. Same thing, should be an option for that in the future.
3. Apps2SD is not officially supported anymore. There are hacks afaik, but I won't do and support that.
Slow camera is a known bug, even for the Z1. As for the animations, I have no idea on how to debug them. Benchmarks and games suggest that OpenGL is working just fine. Any ideas anyone?

[Q] Battery issues and some features missing after the update

Heyy Ppl I recently updated to 4.3 I see tht battery life is less in it and some features like when I used to plugin the headset before my Walkman used to start that is missing and when I used to lock screen in previous version I used to see a flash line on the screen that is missing. can anyone help me to save battery and features I am new to developers.??

Hi,
Battery saving - the single most important thing I learned was to turn off the internet when it's not needed. While it's on, any app can upload data or download when you're not using it. When many apps to that, it burns the battery badly. It's no joke, try it. It makes more of a difference than screen brightness. I have that at almost full and I get 2 days battery because I turn of data when not needed.
Features - The Walkman feature, look in Walkman settings, it should still be there - something like continue playback when headphones inserted. You don't see a flash line when unlocking? Mine does, that's strange.

thanks

download greenify. then add all unnecessary apps to hibernation list. your phone will almost stop using battery. I'm using it since 4.2.2 and it always given 100% result.
