I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:
To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:
Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.
Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.
To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:

This has been tested by me and it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I think the auto-rotate issue is kernel related so we have to wait for a specific kernel for our phones. I downloaded an app from the market "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" and it seems to work pretty well.
ok thanks will try it right now and I leave at 6 am for my job and I have much time for that lolll
That app doesn't help. Still rotates into landscape when I'm in a portrait mode.

dude, as you can clearly tell from the rest of this forum, no one has a fix for it yet. be patient. besides, the OP isn't trying to address the auto rotate problem in the first place..
OP, i will try out the fix, thanks.
I am patient. Just wondering how to use that app that's all. Couldn't figure it out. Rotation locker works best for me so far

Told me tethering is not supported ???
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
so im using Ravers blackedition rc3, with the ICS theme designed for rc2.
originally, rc3 had the shutdown/restart thing fixed, but flashing the theme broke it.
i tried your method but no luck for me.
im sure this still probably can work for those not using any themes tho
Yea what ROM are you running cause I tried both fixes and no luck
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
i am trying your method to get tethering to work...i followed your instructions and everything was good up until setting it up...i got to the skyrocket connected part...but when i hit my menu button nothing happens...i dont get the menu to set the SSID and pw
my laptop can pick up the skyrocket signal but it asks for a pw...and i dont know what it is since i didnt set one
edit: found your original thread and read the comments from another user...you have to tap on the word hotspot and then go into that page and then hit menu to configure...thanks!

Ok, I really don't know what happened. I charged the phone last night, and it froze overnight( not a normal occurrence). So this morning I did a battery pull and restart. It had some issues restarting, it took 3 tries to get it to work. Then when it did start, the display was odd. Everything is very small. The display still stretches the entire screen, just very small. Almost like the phone thinks it is a tablet. I was running cm9, but I flashed back to stock FTF about a month ago. Only thing done since is root (to retrieve titanium backups) and install cwm. I know that I could probably flash again and solve problems, but I just don't want to mess with rooting and restoring again. I tried clearing cache and dalvic cache, but no luck. I have attached screenshots of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure what is up with the notification bar, but it goes away when in landscape mode. (shown in pic)
Mybe u should refer this to the rom thread or read through the rom thread 1st. Coz mybe sm1 already suffers the same issues with the rom..

It looks like your pixel density is messed up all the small icons I remember messing around with it before and thats what it use to happen when I set it to high... I remember there is an app that can do that if ur rooted but the blurry notification don't know what could cause that

It was the lcd density. I went into rom toolbox and checked it. The slider was at the minimum. I raised it to half and rebooted. Problem solved. It also fixed the notification bar. Does anyone know the correct density to use?

First two points are not disadvantages. They are just features not added by Sony.
Disadvantage is only 1080p recording for me.
Battery life is amazing so no need for stamina: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42046505&postcount=1646
Only disadvantage is 1080p video recording, and shutdown time which is a bit slower than before. Everything else is improved compared to ICS.
The camera has always been like this. Learn to use the advanced options to take better pics.
No Encryption Support
ICS did not have encryption at all. With JB, my corporate email required phone to be encrypted confused not sure why. But the damn thing does not work. No progress.
stamina mode it's there on my xperia s,it's called extendended standby mode
On my Acro S same, 1080p is WAYYY too laggy
Backup and restore app didn't restore SOME OF my games' progress, like Temple Run 2... anybody here with the same issue?

That's not Stamina mode, that's Extendended Standby Mode. [You'd think this was obvious.]
As the names would suggest, they're different things

Nope. The fundamentals are the same. Extended Standby Mode blocks all data to your apps after 10 minutes while Stamina Mode let you choose which apps to block or not block. Other than that, there's no differences.

Performance wise the firmware is great, but they did not fix the bugs that we found on the first leaked version.
For e.g. Default keyboard settings does not hold up after reboot, i have to set up SwiftKey everysingle time i restart, also, admin privileges for a specific app are also not being saved, my kaspersky antitheft simply does not work because of this.
I do not understand why myXperia was not added.
When the leaked version came up i really thought sony did a nice job, but the more i use, the more it seems that they released it just to shut our pie holes
Do you guys think these are fixable on a custom rom?

WIFI Problem In Iran
Beside all of the mentioned bugs, there are two regional bug for Iranian users!
1- Wifi does not work except you switch to Airplane mode (or remove your simcard)
2- Mobile data netwrok does not work at all!!
Disable image stabilization in video recording, this might get rid of lag
@hugorafael Yes, JB updated through PCC.

you applied root and recovery?
No, right now it's pure stock.
I've done some reading and found it has to do with installing root explorers and things like that (not specific other than that) and causing issues with the xperia launcher. Th did some sort of software repair after deleting the apps. That seems like a convoluted solution to a dumb problem.
Did a factory reset and i'm good now, just gonna watch the apps I install I guess.
With that said, does anybody know of any specific apps that might cause this?
Sent from my C6506 using xda premium
On which firmware u are?
If u are on a fw before .253, it is a problem with the Sony launcher, it has to do with the animation settings into developer settings, don't turn animation time to off, otherwise u got them unresponsive after restarting the phone.
I'm on .395 right now and after not sideloading anything I seem to be good to go. I also have the dev option animations set to X.5 so that may be it as well.
I'll leave the animations as is and try my other apps again and see if it happens again.
If you have any other info about the ZL that i should be aware of please don't hesitate to post here or pm me. As a new owner I like to hear about other's experience with it after a while.
Thanks again!

Just flashed 4.3 on my note 2 and everything is working fine if a bit slow. However, what is killing me is that the stock messaging app font is huge. i tired the volume key change and the font size change in settings but non of them really helped. I was wondering if anyone have any pointers in as how to fix this.
Much thanks

Didnt realize I had a gps problem till I opened my maps application. Yup, my gps is unresponsive. I dont have an internet problem though. My wifi and lte works fine.
I think ill just go back to tweaked 2.5 and wait for a newer tweaked to come out.
