Sony Erricsson Experia Ray .62 firmware flashed to .42 with wotan.
One click rooted thanks to DooMLoRD.
Uninstalled facebok, anonymous usage stats, demo, store, play, and lots and lots of other stock crap with Titanium and the phone seems to be happier.
Also, I dont know how is it possible, but it must be charging the battery remotely now, without me knowing, cause I'm on it since the morning, been outside listening to Jango through 3G, also wi-fi all the time and still 78% battery. Big battery improvement so.
Love it.

Indeed, less battery eating apps, more juice for your phone
Ok, when I got the phone on Friday last, I thought it was a mistake, taking the battery wouldn't last 10 hours.
It was like this every day, say medium use.
Since this morning, bout 11, when I didnt even have a full charge, after rooting and removing lots of apps, it is over 12 hours, and I been using it more than before, puting it back in order, and still have 44% left... Where was that power going Sony? -THE ANONYMOUS USAGE THINGY maybe?

If I update X-Ray over the air from .42 to .62 will the root stay also?
Will all the apps stick as well, or wil it be like after flashing down with wotan?
Will the update put back apps like facebok and other stock?

Yes, root will stay if update is done directly from phone over 3G or Wifi(Over the Air).
Yes, apps and all your data will stay also.
Some stock apps might be placed back(Xperia Hot Shots, Wisepilot returned on my LWW).
thanks Someguyfromhell, wil go with it -i think
K, tried the update today - three times. Each time it is downloaded, then the phone restarts, then the bar goes different color towards the right, then restarts, there's an open box then for a while on the screen, then another restart and the phone switches on normally, saying the update couldn't be done.
Any ideas guys?

You might have removed some important files with Titanium...But I am not aware, what file could it be.
Well, I restored anonymous usage and crash monitor - jusr to check, no change. Might try to revert a few more, check again.
Option 2 is probably to go back to wotan for a reflash - I'm guessing.
Is there much prooved improovement in .62 by the way?
Thanks for sticking with me here as well

Can't remember more, because it was long ago that I updated firmware, been using custom ROMs.

I'll just have to backup apps and all with titanium and go wotan again.
Not even for rhe .62 alone, but just knowing that something isnt right...
Also the sooner I do it the less to backup and resrore i'll have.
I will make sure to note my steps this time, apps rekoved and all.

I just flashed with wotan again, rooted again, and updated right away. Root stayed, apps restored with Titanium - all work. Took less then an hour.

As the title says, my p500 is awake almost 100% of the time. Even with the screen off (please look at the attached image).
The only apps running at startup (used Startup Manager app to check it) are Go weather, Maps, Market, Minimalistic text and Quick System Info Pro. On my home screen (Go Launcher EX) I use Go Weather, minimalistic text and Winamp widget, nothing else.
Is there somewhere I can look at or maybe some app I can install to see what is causing it?
I'm using Mik's CM7 6.5.5 and franco.kernel v16.1 bfs (this one gives me almost 30% more battery life than the newer versions) and running at 729/245mhz Smartass.

PROBLEM SOLVED
I was planing on sending the phone to repair on monday, but at the time and with the phone here i didn't want to give up so i thought of rooting it and reinstalling the firmware, but nothing worked and the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to a computer. So i kept search other ways to reinstall the firmware and came across a website that talked about a "secret menu" code for the phones and i remembered that this phones must had one and that from there i could do something, i did. From there i did a factory reset and, unlike the ones i did before by going to settings-privacy, when the phone rebooted it told me right way that it was connected to the computer. I also tested the problem with the screen light and so far, so good.
So, if anyone else has this problem(sannielyk reportedly had) what i did was entering the "secret menu" code : 3845#*500# and did the factory reset from there.
Apparently it was a software problem or something that wasn't installed right by the lg service. But so far everything is good, and i hope it keeps that away.
Thanks for the help

Yes, I have tried it. It helps when you do not use 3G/HSDPA. As soon as u enable internet and browse the net and after that disable the internet, the Fast Dormancy process starts to drain the battery again and again. Disabling the Fast Dormancy does not always work.
I swhitched to 2G and then it stopped draining the battery, but it is not the solution, as I can't live without 3G/HSDPA... Don't know what to do
I've noticed that in the last couple of days, the Settings app doesn't work properly. At times, when I open the app, it just opens for a second and goes back to the home screen. After some time, the problem goes away on its own. Sometimes, taking out the battery and rebooting the device helps. Sometimes, it doesn't work. Anybody help me out here?

I am not really sure but this might be happening due to a virus or malware. Which RoM are you using?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Stock Gingerbread. 2.3.4!
Try installing any free antivirus and scan your phone. I recommend Netqin

It can also happen if you apply a wrong patch, or flashed something that was not supposed to be flashed on a stock ROM.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
No viruses, never flashed or patched anything! :|
maybe because cache is full, can make phone become crazy sometimes.
moreover u said ur on full stock rom without any modification. pure stock rom stores cache in phone memory and it'll be full and cluttered overtime.
Hi,
I have 3 issues. Hope somebody can help:
1: Phone operates too slow. For example when I go to menu, app icons take around 5 seconds to appear. Similarly when I go to home screen it takes the same lag. So much delay that I could capture the screen short. You can see that weather clock and alarm widgets didn't appear. I cleared cache several times n restarts but it works fine for few mins n then again becomes laggy.
2: Keyboard disappears after typing few letters and sometimes it takes several secs to get it back. Reappearing delay is may be related to the above problem of slow response but why it disappears in first place.
3: Battery doesn't charge despite the whole night charging. Its happens not do often but really bugging me. I noticed that whenever I get missed notifications like calls or msgs it stops charging. Not sure why it's happening.
Looking forward to some help from experts. Please note that I feel these problems are occurring more after recent update. I'm using stock Rom of intl s3 version.
Thanks

I am also on XXBLFB and facing no such issues. You should check if some app is not eating a lot of RAM.
Jelly Bean won't be available for this region anytime soon keeping in view the time it took S2 to receive ICS update here.
I suspect the same. my RAM doesn't go below 600mb even if I close all apps and clear ram from task manager. After restart, phone behaves well for an hour but then again becomes laggy. My S2 is much faster than this with lot more apps. This S3 is really disappointing me.

Try to find the culprit app. I have 100+ apps and set is still very very smooth.

That's the status when I just cleared cache.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my suggestion is to do a factory reset (after backing up your contacts, messages, notes etc). then download your apps again and note the behavior of phone after each app. You might find the culprit then. It doesn't seem like an issue with the update since I also updated mine. Also very less likely its gonna be hardware issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Maybe the CPU is not working at its entire power. If the factory reset is not working, maybe you should go and replace the device, before it's too late. When you bought it ? If the phone have less than 30 days you should get an instant replace. Not sure that JB will help you, as the installation isn't like a "full format" of your phone
Hard reset: *2767*3855# (no warning message before formating, so type it when you're ready, also remove the sdcard if you don't want wiped too.)
Or *#*#7780#*#* - Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)
Thanks. Will get in touch with the vendor for replacement (though I'm sure he will not agree that easily) or else will do a complete reset. I'm really pissed off for spending this much for getting this device. Samsung is very serious in pushing their loyalists away!

Sometimes, there can be some errors. You know, nobody's perfect and we are all humans. After one week after I bought my phone, I found that it have sort of scratch on the screen, but looked like inside of it. It could be seen only in high light. The vendor replaced it instantly. This one is perfect. Love it and is extremely fast and I have many apps on it. Good luck!

Check in task manager, you should have an idea about how is going bad. Also change the antivirus for Avast. Avast is much better. However I recommend without antivirus. I just scan sometimes my phone with it or lookout but never leave the antivirus installed. Is just a waste of RAM memory.
If nothing works do a full backup with Kies and do the complete factory reset.
Most of the apps will be automatically reinstalled when you add back your Google account, but you need the backup for settings and saves.

Even with all the apps I have on my phone the RAM usage is around 580-640 (stupid SwiftKey using 45 mb most of time) and when I kill the apps I have 430 mb, slowly increasing til 530. Try reset, you have nothing to lose.

I tried stock 1.54 firmware, BrainsRom, Pure BloodRom v2, munjenis kernel, but it didnt solve this problem.
Also tried latest 201 fxp CM9, but it kills battery to much, had issues with gps and also nfc don't work properly still.
Has anyone this issue with incoming calls too?
Is there some solution for this?

I vote the FXP solution too. That worked out for me.
Did you do a full wipe before flashing FXP? But yeah, the NFC isn't that great on CM9, but at least the "phone" portion of it works.
@Snowstormzzz
Before FXP I flashed fresh .54 stock, then flashed boot.img and did wiped all through cwm, then wipe again after install all zips

Maybe in .75 version it will be resolved

Hi, after 4 days on Fluidity OC I accepted several calls and it seems that bug with receiving calls is resolved here!!!
Thx to pulak861
Cool, but u know sometimes I don't have it even in a month! So I guess we still have to hope for an official fix in .75
Btw I flashed back to stock this time without using any task managers depending on theory that Android has it's special behavior about ram management unlike windows.
I recommend u use "Watchdog" app, to kill only apps that eat CPU not ram. Well so far I'm not having problems too.

In my case it was delayed in about 4 calls of 5 on all ROMs except FXP, so I'm happy now :victory:
And thanks for Watchdog tip
