hi friends,,i updated my neo v with official ICS 4.0.4 thru pc companion yesterday..no root,, no bootloader unlocked..but when phone was idle in the night,,approx for 8 hours,,battery drained for about 9%...so i want to ask can i flash night-elf kernel or suave kernel or any other kernel on my neo v to get good battery backup "after rooting with bootloader remaining locked" ?????
thanks
bootloader locked=stock kernels
bootloader unlocked=custom kernels+stock kernels
If you did and update, meaning your old apps stayed after update, try repair option in pc companion, it will wipe your phone and install fresh firmware.

No problems after.
Yes I said that, and? You are only using stock kernels.

I didn't have any battery drain on stock 4.0.4.
Maybe one of your apps is the reason?
Is it same for every night, or you noticed it only one night? WiFi, data on/off? Are you on 2g only? Can't remember where is that setting in stock Sony ICS, settings->networks..
Which fw you had before, 4.0.3? or some of GB fw's, if yes, then which version?

Hi
I have tried all day to install ICS on my Neo V, and I always end up in a boot loop (after the XPERIA logo it restarts). I have tried KA06 ICS and another Sony based ICS ROM.
I'm pretty new to this and I'm not sure what info you need so please ask away.
One thing I noticed is that whenever I clear the dalvic-cache it gives an error (not mounted or something i think?)
Thanks

Did you succesfully unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom kernel?
Thats what i did to install k6 on my neo v.
1º Flash .64 baseband.
2º Flash .62 baseband with flashtools(check exclude baseband).
3º Flash kernel.
4º Recovery wipe all + install k6.
5º Flash neo-v patch.
if i install .64 baseband im stuck on xperia boot image loops.

Sorry for my bad English...
@krabappel2548 It came unlocked and with a custom 2.3 rom when I bought it. I can install a stock 2.3 rom using flashtool fine.
@equlog Yes this time I didn't flash the 64 baseband from the KA thread and just left the stock one on. (I had .62 stock)
@wilsonchuchu I tried that but it didn't help
EDIT: Somehow it works now! I flashed the stock rom again and have been using it for a while (I rebooted a couple of times), then I flashed the non-oc kernel and this time I was able to clear the dalvic-cache. The rest worked fine and I've just booted in to the phone. I'm not sure why it worked this time because I've been doing this all day.
Now for KA7 lol

You're welcome I also updated Neo V patch
KA06 looks really good, just one problem so far (if you can call it that) the cosmic flow live wallpaper crashes every time I try to add it. The other live wallpapers work. Is this because the hardware acceleration isn't fully implemented yet?
Downloading KA07 now

@krabappel
Will u made a mod when sony release official ics? i hope ^^
I've just been reading some more about the fw/basebands and it looks like the .62 firmware does include the .64 baseband. Looking in about phone seems to confirm that. Am I right?
.62 f/w has .64 baseband
Thanks, so for anybody else having problems with the Neo V it seems the best way would be:
1: Flash .62 firmware
2: Flash KA kernel.
3: Boot into recovery, wipe all + install KA.
4: Flash neo-v patch.
Here is the stock firmware .62 as an update.zip (for installing with ClockWorkMod): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1518148

I think I may have found the battery life problem. Looking at the battery usage under settings, the gallery app shows by far the most battery usage. When I go to apps and find gallery I see it's running a service called picassa sync. Disabling picassa sync on all the Google accounts and then force closing the gallery app seems to fix the battery usage. Can some other people please try it and confirm if it works?
After doing this the cpu time and amount of the battery used by the gallery app does not get any higher, even if I make sure the gallery is running again and it moves down the list and the highest battery usage becomes the screen.

and about the widgets.. did anyone seems to have a problem with it? I have this battery widget after putting it up in homescreen, it doesn't move at all though the battery is decreasing, the widget stays the same. Same with player pro widget, you can press the next button fine but the music title and the album thumbnail stays.
Hi everyone!
I'm tired using custom roms for their instability and fc's everywhere for over a year I didnt found Rom that works perfect all the time with many apps installed so I just want to my phone work, dont want to flash new system every month again.
I was running stock with deleted apps, Set Cpu (tnx to gregbradley (edit: that was neoxx3m very good advidce, sorry my bad) and z-kernel for about 4 months and I was happy, that was one and only Rom that i've used so long. Yes it wasnt so fast but it was very stable and everything works so nice not even one fc. (kindda wierd couse ive installed z-kerner on my Unlocked BL x10 and now I can't and dont wanna to play and relock)
So i wanna repair my phone and get back to stock, root it, delete all uneeded apps and flash the most stable kernel so will it be failsafe from doom right?
And the question is will my plan work? I know that phone will not be so fast but will everything work and this is all I need or maybe someone has better idea?
Also have some questions about the newest fw for this Doom UB kernel. Where do i get this newest se fw?
Any help will be very appriciated.
Restore the phone back to stock using SEUS. That should do the trick

It will work because when u repair ur phone via PCC u get latest firmware (2.3.3/3.x.x.x.x.x), but my advice is to try relock BL and use zKernel, i did that yesterday and i'm happy again!

I told you that dont wanna play with bootloader no more, maybe for some time i would like to try some kernel or rom (if im not happy for using stock and doom) and will have to unlock again so im patience (tring to) and will not to this for a while.
Anyway strange is that i flash zKernel even if i had unlocked Bootloader and it work fine but when i tried to do this again ( didnt know that this kernel is fo Locked only) it didnt work
Hi.
I can fix this problem in GB Build 4_0_2_A_0_42 using DoomKernel & AsanSam fix 0% tool, But I can't do this in ICS Build 4_1_A_0_562 .
Please guide me,tnx.
Can you explain at little more ?
what do you mean by 0% battery problem ?
Battery seems to be 0 percent, while in fact there are more than 80 percent charge.
that's weird ...
never heard about it,
have you tried battery calibration ?

I'm in 4_1_A_0_562 , which kernel do you recommend?
how in the world you got 0% battery issue in Neo V ? Neo V never had a 2.3.3 fw afaik
I would suggest [NightElf Kernel]:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468043
It seems to be compatible with Stock ROM
Btw flashing kernel requires an unlocked bootloader, while officially unlocking bootloader will remove the warranty too. Unlocking bootloader using S1 tool instead will not remove the warranty...but it is rather complicated. If your phone still have warranty, just send it to Sony and get fixed...but remember to back up everying first!

I get freexperia-semc-kernel, But it's a .zip file contains few files & folders.

Flashing kernel must need a .img file...you may look for a .img file inside the .zip file.
If it doesn't exist, maybe...you've downloaded the ROM other than the KERNEL?

Hi guys,
I am facing a similar issue in all JB roms (Neo v). Battery reaches 10% then suddenly shows 0% and phone shuts off. :crying::crying:
Did everything I could think of, Incl wiping battery stats, reflashing stock FTF before using custom roms etc etc.
Can anyone please help me!
What kernel you used?maybe a kernel bug?
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
Happens in all JB roms be it 4.1 or 4.2. This implies the bug is present with all different JB kernels (for me at least). Any idea?
I've heard phones needing battery calibration because the phone might show 100% charged at a lower level.
My problem is a little different...I installed stock ics rom with thilinac's ics kernel (I've used it before, always worked perfectly) but the battery reading is stuck at 100%. I've tried almost everything but of no use, the battery reading doesnt changes
I switched off the phone, left it to charge for 2 hrs, switched on and calibrated battery to 100% but it still doesnt changes.
I tried performing a clean install (wiped everything-except sdcard) and reinstalled the rom but it still doesnt works.
This Ics stock rom had worked without problems with thilinac's ics kernel. Before this I was on mastero9017's moProject42 rom (based on CM10.1)
Please tell me how to get this battery status working again

No need to root again. Since the boot loader is unlocked, you can flash any kernel straightaway. No need to do those steps again. Flash stock ftf... Let it settle and flash the associated kernel for your desired ROM.

That worked...I was earlier using moAOKP rom(4.1.2) Wiping all data and flashing stock rom didn't work...
What worked for me is..I flashed the moAOKP rom again (the battery status was fine again) I flashed a different kernel and wiped the battery stats still having moAOKP and then did a full wipe. Flashed the stock kernel and then the stock firmware and battery status was again working
Hey mates.
The thing is: In my phone all roms running under kernel naa-14 suffer from random shut downs or from loss of signal once in a while, it doesn't happen many times but when it happens it's not good "example: you don't wanna sleep with your alarm not waking you because your phone is turned off, right?" xD.
So i was wondering: do you guys know another kernel for the most recent gb roms instead of kernel naa-14?, or if there is a rom that doesn't suffer from this shut downs/lost signal on this naa-14 kernel?.
Ps: Don't say something like: reinstall rom, go back to 2.1 and then install rom again, etc... i already did all of that.
Thanks

Yes it is more likely a kernel problem, and that's why i wanted to know if there is another kernel without this problems. I flashed this naa-kernel 14 on my computer and on my portable computer in different times, but the result is always the same because sooner or later the phone will shut down or loose signal out of nowhere. I thought about flashing a rom with stock kernel but the roms available for stock kernel all have some bugs :S.
Ps: do you think there is much difference between this phone and Sony Live With Walkman in terms of audio quality/loudness and camera?, i am tented to buy that phone and all my problems would be solved for good as i need a stable phone when i get a job xD.

Did u try the rom MiniCM7pro v21 for stock kernel....?? it is much more stable for daily use...n cant say anything about any other kernel bcoz most of GB roms run on nAa14 kernel only...so i think u should try MiniCM7pro v 21 on stock kernel...:good:

it was the first rom ever that i tried, i don't remember now if it was good or not, but is this rom really more stable to use than the most recent gb roms that run on naa-14 kernel?. And does it have all the fixes "battery, camera quality, etc" that were made till now?.
I made a new thread, asking how i can port recent gb roms to work on Stock kernel, maybe it's better this way if possible.
locked you bootloader 1st.
