Hey, today im im running complete stock. Only a 3rd-party home app.
The issue i noticed with the new .62 FW i got wifi drop issue. When i connect and go to browser, the wifi dropps out instantly when i go to a page, no matter strenght. My wifi policy setting are right.
The second one started after upgrading the poweramp to 2.0.5. When i launch the app sometimes it crashes once and every single running app on my phone restarts again and again. Only restart is the escape.
Aby ideas / solutions ??
(PS. Starter på nytt means restarting)

Heya!
Anyone having some camera issues since the 4.4 Update?
Mine crashes and/or freezes randomly when taking photos with the software and hardware buttons. Sometimes the whole phone freezes and won't respond on any touch input. Sometimes lock and unlock it again helps but most times I have to wait a few seconds or use the "OFF"-Buttons.
Any fix for this?

Do a factory reset. I had the exact same issue when I upgraded and I had to do this a few times to get everything working.

Gosh, that sucks :/ Is it at least good to make a backup with the Sony app and then restore it or will this end up with the same error again?

You can try but I usually recommend just starting fresh since it could cause some errors.

if u want better chance not to see these kindda issue u must repair ur firmware by PCC.
factory reset means wiping firmware
but repair by PCC means install fresh firmware
:good:
I've got the same issue. It's actually worst when using SnapChat. It just freezes sometimes. I did a factory reset from the phone and this solved the issues for a day, but now it's back. I'm gonna do a full reset from the computer now and see if this solves it.
I have the same problem with the camera!! Anyone fixed this problem without factory reset?

After running a full reset from PC this issue seems to have been solved.

And it's back. Camera often freezes the whole phone. When I listen to music, and starts snapchat and change from back to front camera, the whole phone freeze and the music stops for almost ten seconds.
Same here, 14.3.A.0.681. Did anyone found a fix?
The camera app opens and works, but at the moment to focus it just stuck on focusing and the photo is never taken.
I experience the same issue. Often, I have to wait for the camera to open, and SnapChat is unusable now. Don't really feel like resetting if people here are reporting that it doesn't fix the issues.
Same issue here. But on 785 (4.4, latest update, german TFT, unlocked BL and root). Camera hangs on every occassion, doesn't make a difference which capture method I use. Tried emptying cache and data for the camera app but that didn't solve anything. I don't want to reinstall my phone because it's a pain in the ass. Problem does not occur with the front camera.
I did find a fix!!!:
Just clear data&cache of the camera app and snapchat (just need to log in again). Now everything works smooth and quick again.
@madlive: weird, for me clearing data&cache fixed all my problems. Maybe try it again?

Having just sold my Z1 (after having .757 installed) and now using a 'spare' Z1 Compact until my Z2 arrives, I wasn't that surprised to notice that the Z1 Compact has exactly the same problems as the Z1.
Wiping, resetting, clearing the cache - all pointless in the long run. Any fix is coincidental. It's a bug that hasn't been completely fixed with .757. The mere fact I've had the same problems on both handsets shows it's the firmware.
If you unlock the phone and start up the camera via the icon, chances are it will work fine.
If you activate the camera from standby, it may fail (the freezing problem, or 'camera not available' error).
What .757 seems to have fixed is the issue where the phone starts to get red hot and then you get the warning that it's too hot to use the camera. I've been taking a lot of photos this last weekend and never had that happen, so at least Sony fixed one thing. I suspect that was down to a series of problems with the media server and creating thumbnails etc, all of which were fixed.
When you have the freezing problem, was the phone locked? In other words; was it locked, but you started the camera via the camera key or dragging up the camera icon? When you tapped power to turn off/on, did you then have to unlock again? If you subsequently unlock - does the camera work fine now?
My hunch is that this is where the problem lies. I've got pattern unlock and now have it set to not lock for 30 minutes. So if I'm taking photos, I unlock the phone and - touch wood - I have no camera issues for that time.
If the phone has locked itself later on, and I don't unlock first, I expect the camera to fail. Yet it doesn't always - but once is still too much. I missed a potentially awesome photo of my two year old son because of this - and it's bloody frustrating. Especially as there's no idea on when we might get another update.
Another problem I noticed on the first KitKat release was the on-screen keyboard appearing over the camera one time. I'd been using the keyboard in another app before firing up the camera using the button, so the camera fault must be down to how it sets itself up when launched - and what you were doing just before (unlock screen, another app) influences the likelihood of it crashing.
In any case, it's a pain.
But on the plus side, the quality of the photos I got over the weekend - mostly in manual landscape mode - are stunning. The phone is capturing a level of detail that is exceptional now. And auto mode is now generally pretty good too, suggesting it doesn't just bump up the ISO all the time.
Same bug here!

I'm having the same problem here. Does Sony is aware of this bug?
Does anyone know of a link where we can complain about it to the manufacturer?
I thought that something was wrong/broken with my phone, but then, after seeing your posts, it isn't... So no factory reset... Just wait for an update? even 3rd party apps seem to crash, expecially the google camera... Wth
I'm getting the same problem since the stock 4.4.2 update, battery life doesn't seem as good anymore either, but i'm always near a charger so the new Camera bugs are the most annoying.
You can't exactly "catch a moment" by whipping your camera out anymore, most of the time I'm waiting about 5-10 secs for the picture to appear ready to take a pic, especially noticeable on Snapchat or when switching from front-face to rear.
I woudn't mind but being on Stock Firmware I'm always waiting longer for Android updates, supposedly because of the extra rigorous testing etc!
bump !
it appears accessing camera from different locations (lockscreen shortcuts ...) confuses the mecanism, this added to some flashlight app and you're good to have the reboot-proof camera FC problem... pffff
Possible Fix!
*** possible fix! ***
I read this on another forum and for about 5 days now my camera has been behaving completely normal across all apps!
Little warning - for me this logged me out of some apps, and caused me to have to put some widgets back on - it almost behaved like clearing the cache when you're rooted, no data lost just a some apps liked twitter etc were acting like they were installed for the first time...
The method is to boot into safe mode once, then just power the phone off and boot as normal:
Hold down your power button
In the menu hold down the "Power Off" option and say OK to safe mode
Once you're in safe mode, turn the phone off
Turn the phone on again, it will boot as normal
Camera just now behave as normal!
Not only has it worked for me so far, but my whole phone seems a bit faster.
Good luck!
Yes have faced that issue with camera, just like my friend warned me :/ freezing, when clicking
Factory reset didn't do much good

Hi everyone, I dont know whether anyone uses wechat and comes across the same problem or not. Last week I flashed nAOSP_6.0_b03 for Xperia S, and found that wechat cannot run correctly. When I tap this app, it shuts down immediately, and even it does not shut down, I cannot use it neither because the photos in Moments cannot load some times, and even loaded successfully, it shuts down immediately. I reflashed for several times (b03, b02 and b01) but the problem still exsists. By the way, I have granted all permission to this app.
So, if there is anyone knowing how to solve this problem, could you please help me. Thanks.
Any permanent solution for that? I can clear data and it works. But it resets everything. And after a few days it disappears again. I can actually type but I see no keyboard.
I had the same problem on my Z Play with stock 7.1.1 (soak test). The Gboard disappaer and goes black. I have then force close in Settings, Apps, Gboard. Then it working again for a while.
Now I have switch to LOS14.1 and the problem isn't come again. Maybe the final release of stock 7.1.1 fix the problem, too?
But I really don't know if it's a rom problem or an app problem.

I get this too a lot. Never happened when I was still using my LG G3, but ever since I switched to the Z Play it crashes sometimes or the keyboard just stays black.

But that's a software problem. On LOS14.1 I have not this issue. But here is all newest now That's feels so good
And would be interested to know if the problem by Motorolas Stock ROM or by Googles Gboard.
And I see that I have gotten the newest version of Gboard with the latest Open Gapps. Maybe it's enough to update Gboard? Otherwise moto has the bug in her firmwares.
Just enable Force GPU rendering on Dev settings and will be fixed

Thank you. I'll see after a few days if the problem is gone.

I would say that's the problem is by Gboard. Would try to update Gboard first. Then we would know exactly.
But don't know. Try Gboard update, then we see.
Had this problem also , seems to be solved with the latest gboard update a couple of days ago.
Me too. Started about 2 months ago, When starting Google search the keyboard appeared, disappeared, appeared. I often typed in an area exactly when the keyboard disappeared. Sometimes it seems to have crashed, no keyboard to see, needed to switch to a different keyboard and back to re-enable. Was happening about every second day. Then I found it it is active, but invisible!
All that crap ended last week after an update. Hope all the issues had the same reason which got fixed.
Not all issues are fixed. When activating Google Search bar, the keyboard sometimes still appears, disappears, appears. It's a really bad timing because every second time I start typing exactly in the moment when it disappears for a quarter second, and thereby deactivate it and start something else whatever is under the key I press (maybe the second key press if the first got used by deactivating, dunno for sure).
