As anyone had problems with bluetooth keyboards on your Sony tab s??
I've tried a logitec and the Sony brand bluetooth keyboard and it will lag then type the same letter repeatedly.
Anyone else have this problem? If so is there a fix?

I got so tired of it I decided to do a factory reset. And it fixed it!! Thinking back it may have been one of the touch keyboard apps I had installed, although they were all disabled.. Otherwise I have no idea what was causing it. So far so good since the reset though, quick and persice keystrokes via the Sony SGPWKB1 no matter how fast I type. I will try my wifes Logitec and see if it is also working well with my the Sony Tab.

No problems here with the Sony SGPWKB1. Zero lag.
The only on-board input keyboard app I've installed (other than default,) is "Thumb Keyboard 4". No conflicts.
I have a logitech keyboard. If I have apps in the background it lags. Right now I'm just running XDA... so it's working fine.

Hi! I had this problem a long time now.
The keyboard background light is stronger on the left side, than on the right side of the keyboard.
Am I the only one with this problem?
Please can someone help me.
Regards Paul
Same issue. I was told to reflash but I haven't done that yet.
Same problem here =(
On my keyboard right side has almost no light. And vibration is not working. So I just turn the light off.
got exactly the same problem, dont see how a reflash or hard-reset would help.

it won´t. it is a hardware problem.
you could probably try take it back to the retailer you bought it from.. They might but most likely won't do anything.
Got not problems here. Had this phone for 2 months now. Maybe it happens over general wear and tear?
mine is at the TS atm because of the keyb light and wifi problems. i'll let you know if they solve the problem
Hey, that's happens to all SE phones FYI all of you, u can ask some of ur friends with other SE phone and its always stronger keyboard light on the left

I would attribute it to the overall build quality and not to wear and tear, as mine lost vibration and got problems with keyboard light in less than 2 weeks, during which I practically never used the phone.
So if almost everyone has it, maybe It's the placement of the LED in the keyboard?

I have this problem with my new Galaxy S3. I searched the Internet, and found someone with the same problem. The thread is quoted here:
My folders are opening on their own
If I wake the phone, or close an app, my games folder opens by itself. This also happened with my news folder, I thought it had been a problem with a news app in the folder so I deleted it. But now it's the games folder ! Is this down to an app conflict ? As far as I can see it happens randomly, not triggered by something I'm doing. I thought it might be something to do with automatically opening regularly accessed folders but it's not consistent.
*really hoping you lot aren't getting sick of my inane android-newbie questions*

Is anybody here at XDA having the same issue? It's REALLY REALLY annoying.
Maybe somebody got a solution?
Thanks in advance
It happens to me as well sometimes folders on ny home screen are open after closing apps or returning to home screen. I think it is a bug which will be fixed soon.

I dont think it will be fixed, because i contacted Samsung today, and they wasn't aware of the bug. So we need more people to contact Samsung, to tell them about this.

The person you spoke to wasn't aware; it doesn't mean the developers aren't.

You may be right about that.
But how can we users tip the developer department about bugs?
There is also the bug where the notification sounds is played by the speaker, even if the head phones is plugged in.
And i don't know if this is a software bug, but i also get very LOW sound when the head phones are plugged in. Can easily hear the noise from outside when having the volumen at max and listening to music/radio/what ever.
Reporting in. Got the bug here too. Games folder will randomly open when I quit an app / return to the home screen. It's intermittent and rare but slightly annoying.

same here... any news about a fix?
Folder Bug
...having the same problem...pretty annoying. No solution so far. It is always the game folder.
Hi guys,
This happens to me as well. It's always the Games folder. I tried renaming that, thinking that it has to do somehow with it's name. Also, maybe we can trace it back to some of the games inside. Mine are:
Real Racing 2
Angry Birds Space
Zynga Poker
Asphalt 7
888 Poker
So let me know if any of you experimenting this has one of those in the Games folder. Thanks guys!

Hi everyone,
release 6a is now available and it is supposed to correct VPN connection issues.
No mention from Sony of the unwanted powering off issues.

Got it too but not worth updating, don't use VPN and can't be bothered to re-root!

Nope, unfortunately not. Root is gone.
Haven't tried rooting it again, yet, but as Sony did something to VPN i don't think it will work.
were you rooted before update and after it was gone?!
Yes i was rooted before, and yes it's gone now.
I'm gonna try rooting it again soon, maybe tonight.
Powering Off Issue
Had the issue where it would shut down and sent it to Sony Support. They have since sent it back "fixed". I can't say if it's gone or not because I still need to pick it up from the post office. They said that it was a software problem and they fixed it (as well as replace the back cover). Will let you all know if it's gone. Perhaps hidden in the release 6a update is the fix for this?

I sent my Xperia Tablet S in for the same reason, all they did was replace the back panel, they claimed there were no software problems, but they have me unconvinced. It still shuts off randomly, mostly while watching something on the YouTube app. The update seemed to only have fixed the wifi disconnects, and VPN issues. I think it's something in the firmware that Sony needs to fix before the shut down problem will be fixed.

Does anybody use the Square credit card reader with the Z Ultra? It doesn't seem to be working, the app says it can't read the card no matter how many times you swipe. The same card works on the first swipe on my wife's Note 3. The reader and app used to work fine on my old Xperia Z, just not the Ultra.
I have rooted the Ultra, could that be the problem?
Any feedback would be great, as I use the Square reader for my business from time to time.
Thanks

Okay, so i just googled "Square reader not working on android" and it looks like a lot of people with a lot of different devices can't get it working. Not sure if it's Square's responsibility or Sony's since i've read one thing here and another there, so i'm not sure. I guess you can start by emailing Square and see what they say.
I use a card reader that I got from First Data and that doesn't work either. called the company and they gave me some bs answers and said it's a faulty headphone jack which I don't believe to be is the case. also tried it with the PayPal here card reader and no luck.

It might look like it's the OEM's fault. The jacks are fine, but they haven't implemented support for these "things". I don't know if a software update would enable this or if it's hardware. This is what i'm getting after googling, so it might be completely wrong, but a lot of LG, Motorola and HTC users are facing the same issue.
You guys should go to Sony's site and use the support chat and ask if they know anything about it. It's way quicker than emailing.

called Sony and they said that they've never heard of those kinds of devices and to make sure they are compatible with the correct TRRS standard version of headphone jack used. since Sony and Apple use the CTIA standard, that's not the problem since they worked on my iPhone. so now I'm back at square one. maybe someone else had a better idea. lol

Could be. The headphone jacks do not have the same type of contacts because they are waterproof.

I sent email to square and support confirmed latest reader works with ZU. It seems that new reader with ZU reads cards slower than my previous setup with N4. However it is working nonetheless, and ZU wont have to go back so I'm happy.

Common solutions to card reader issues
I recently had issues getting my card reader to work with my Xperia z1s. I went through lots of different channels, and finally decided that maybe just updating my app would fix the issue. Lo and behold, it did. Another thing to keep in mind is that the device uses your phone's audio function. If audio is off or turned down at all, the reader may not work.
Hope that helps.
Both old blue and new black PayPal Here readers don't work on Z Ultra (Android OS 4.4.4).
PayPal Here says Card Reader Connected, but no matter how I swipe the card, nothing happens.
Haven't upgraded to Android OS 5, but both readers works fine on Nexus 7 (Android OS 5.1) and Samsung Note Edge (Android OS 4.4.4).
Just upgrade my ZU to v5.1.1 recently, and PayPal black reader works.
Hi guys!
I bought the Z3TC LTE and are very happy with the device but I experience kind of ghosting with the touch screen:
Moving my finger up and down on an scrollable page / app it starts missing or skipping a movement!
Is that a general problem or should I return the device?
I made an demonstration Video:
http://youtu.be/EUeAt1HMt-w
try a reboot.
is it only 1 app or is it happening on different apps?
Reproducible in every App! Reboot does not help!
If I find time I'm gonna try the same on an Z3TC in an local store..
hmmm thats strange....
glove mode is not on right?
If not, try a factory reset.
if that does not work, sounds like service.....
does this happen when you are charging the device? sometimes this is caused by a charger that doesn't supply sufficient current
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I think I am facing the opposite of that. The screen is far too sensitive and sometimes takes a scroll as a touch. Happens everywhere on the device. I fear it's a hardware thing.

I had a similar problem for a couple of days.
The tablet would scroll up and down on web pages erratically and also when using the keyboard it would enter words independently.
The issue resolved itself after awhile so there is nothing I can suggest to fix it.
