[Q] Problem with NFC - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi,
I am quite a heavy NFC user, especially the Xperia SmartTags (made via my app of course). I have noticed that since the ICS upgrade, or possibly v 1.1.9 of Xperia SmartTag app my NFC detection rate has dropped from 100% to about 30%. Today I put my phone in my tagged car dock and nothing happened, then about 15 minutes into the journey, the tag was detected and Xperia SmartTag kicked in.
Looking at the phone log I am getting a lot of
07-09 23:13:44.600: W/NFC-LLC(758): LLC length mis-match
Perhaps 1 every every 3 seconds.
Google has been no help at all. Does anyone here experience the same issues or entries in the log? (install aLogCat to view the log)
Cheers
-- Phil
Update:
I have tracked process id 758 to be the NFC Service. This is throwing the warning every 2 seconds. The warnings stop when NFC is disabled. The issue remains even after removing Xperia SmartTags app and rebooting.

Same issue here. NFC is barely usable this way.
If you open the service menu, there is an nfc test. That test detects nfc tags perfectly all the time. So somethine is screwed up in the sony software.

Thanks for the info, I'm glad its nothing I have done. I think I am going to flash back to GB. ICS is nice, and Chrome is amazing, but NFC is more important to me.
does anyone on GB see this?

I think it is a bug in the current ics rom. On gingerbread it worked fine. I have smart tags all over the place
I'm sure it will be resolved in a future update.

I'm sort of counting on it, although I don't use NFC that much, it was a very useful thing.

I'm running ICS 6.1.A.1.58 and the Xperia NFC Tags work maybe 1 out 10 tries (if I'm lucky) I know there's a higher firmware 6.1.A.2.45, does anyone have this who can confirm the NFC Tag issue has been fixed?

Works perfectly on ka15. It should be fixed in last two firmwares

I have 6.1.B.0.544 and I do have NFC problems. To scan Xperia SmartTag I need to put the phone on the tag and wait for 10-15 seconds. Which makes the technology useless. This is really annoying. Meanwhile my wife uses her SGS3 with my tags just in miliseconds which annoys me even more.

Have you taken the latest SmartConnect update? Since taking it NFC has worked 100%

I just bought an xperia P LT22i yesterday and it could detect smart tags just fine. Then I updated to Android 4.1.2 (6.2.A.0.400) (don't know exactly what changed) and it completely ignored my tags. Would never detect them.
I tried to update that smart connect app andit didn't change anything.
Than I reseted my phone to factory settings. It didn't downgrade the system, but the smarttags app was gone and the smart connect app (wich has been downgraded) started to detect the tags 100% and treat them as "events". When I touch a tag it starts an event and if I touch the same tag again the event ends. And smarttag app is useless.
I know nothing about file transfers, never tried them.
(repeating post 'cause I've posted on the wrong thread :silly

I too have a NFC issue with my LT26i. The thing is I had the whole NFC and SIM flex replaced and before I broke the original one the NFC had worked fine, even on ICS. Now, after I installed the new flex, the NFC function shows it's enabled but it doesn't detect anything. I freshly flashed the ICS ROM, nothing. Updated to JB, still nothing. Could the flex or the antenna have a problem? I doubt the antenna has a problem but the flex, even though it's new, it could have some issues and it's not genuine.

[Q] questions on [ROM]MIUI v4-2.6.22 for X10 Mini Pro |Released| 26/6/12

I have been using this ROM for some time now, and since the update allowing super user its has worked rather well,
I was wondering if anyone can post some fixes for the following problems (I'm a new user so I cannot post on the development page),
the audio does not work with headphones, I have tried many different types but it will simply play music out loud with or without headphones,
the inbuilt themes, I can download them and apply them but the theme will not change,
poor 3g connection, very tempremental but usable, (I did not have this issue with cm9 mini, cm7 or prime)
wifi - it can detect wifi but when I attempt to connect it is a failure, could this possible be due to my router ??
rotation - auto rotate does not work making it slightly harder to use on-screen keyboard
I can confirm a good battery life, specially in comparison to cm9,
runes smoothly, good battery life and smooth interface with 748MHz-19MHz [smartassV2] overclocking
If any one can make and update.zip or send me specific .apk's ect to fix any of these issues please do so, further more I would like for someone to post the issue of the headphones not being recognized on the actual thread,
Make sure to have NAA kernel 11 installed.

I have the latest ICS kernel installed and it worked fine with nAn's CM9 port but it very temperamental on miui, my on screen keyboard will not appear at times whilst other times it works relatively well or my screen will not wake after it is unlocked (i will be able to unlock the screen and click on apps but the screen is completely off) the only way I can fix it is locking and unlocking the screen multiple times so it catches up :S
but by far the headphone jack not recognizing any of my headphones including the standard set you get with the phone is my biggest issue, I love my music, the issues hasn't been mentioned on the ROM page so I'm unaware if its just effecting me, which would mean I've done something wrong or it is an actual bug that has been overlooked
thank you for the quick response by the way :good:
There is another MIUI rom, by stelios97, where the headphones don't work either, but he suggests a workaround Take a look here and see if that fixes your problem.

[Xperia P] Graphics positioning problem

Hello guys
Here's an interesting problem:
Ever since I bought my phone (sealed, new, carrier-free, original ICS .54 firmware, etc), I noticed a strange bug in the Facebook application. Whenever I opened my messages or notifications, the arrow pointing at them (See first two pictures, link in the bottom of post) would be in the wrong place. At first I thought this was a facebook app problem, but then I saw that not only does this NOT happen on any other qHD screen i've seen on my friends' phones, but there are also positioning problems in other apps in my phone.. for example exDialer, which should have a small dial button in the middle and two other buttons on its sides, for me it has a huge dial button and the other two are pushed to the edges of the screen for some reason (I've drawn on the picture where the buttons should actually be, using great paint skills). And here's the best one: When using the stock timer app, there are two arcs around the clock that count the time left. The thick one is ok, but look at the smaller one, the one for the seconds. Yeah. it doesn't like to stay around the clock. instead, it's just casually floating near it. and it doesn't even draw itself entirely.
Does anyone have any idea regarding what could have caused this? I don't want to believe that this is normal and that they ship phones that make graphic glitches like this one.
I've had this problem ever since the first day I used it. At first I didn't know it was the phone,I thought the culprit was facebook. Since then, I have unlocked my bootloader, installed the Sliding_XP kernel, Fidelity ROM, then uninstalled fidelity and put back .54, then installed .75, which I also reinstalled yesterday because of a mod i installed and didn't like. None of these OS/kernel changes solved the graphics glitch.
I know that my warranty is void because of the unlocked bootloader. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this without needing to send it to a service? It looks like a software bug, but it's very odd that upon formatting the system so many times, the problem is still there.
Thanks in advance!

But the system alarm and clock app shouldnt have the issue should it? and multiple apps as well? But yeah I dont think its hardware related either, but then how would you fix that..

Software Update 1.27.531.8 available today

I just checked for Updates today and got this update: 1.27.531.8. (It was not there yesterday when I checked).
It says it's a System enhancement and bug fix update. (screenshots attached)
My phone was on 1.27.531.7 earlier.
Not sure what all things are fixed or enhanced. I do not see anything as of yet.
Hopefully the 'Back and Home button not responding always' issue is fixed.
Wow...Googling this reveals...nothing! You might be the first
I also got this update and could not find any info about it.
Well it does look like the 'Back and Home buttons response' issue is fixed! Normally for me the Back button would stop working like almost every minute of using the phone. Well I used it for about 10 minutes now and the Back button seems to be working fine so far!!
Earlier, just hitting the Back button a couple of times repeatedly would cause it to stop working. Now it seems to be working good. This is really great!
I have the update as well. It looks like it is not the same update as 1.29 because it is like 220mb less in size lol I wonder if we will ever get that update or if we are going straight to 4.2.2 with those updates baked in.
Capacitive buttons fixed. My screen resolution seems slightly higher. Hard to explain.

The clock widget I use appears slightly smaller in size but sharper. A lot of the blink feed tiles that had a slight blur have resized the image to appear sharper. Phone seems slightly more snappy just overall.

Okay, finally get the update.
It seems I have uninstall some stock apps which are causing the update to interrupt...
This problem solved once I reset my phone to default.

Hi everyone, I am curious am I the only one around right now that has trouble updating this one?
Once I select install and it reboot to a phone icon, then it stops, showing a red triangle above the phone
Here's the picture I cannot post the link...;(
i.imgur.com/svGnMpa.jpg
Any solution to this?
(Just got my phone yesterday, didn't root or anything.)
Quick question my HTC One is rooted and I got the update but it won't update am I unable to get the update? When I try to install it just goes to Recovery and then I rest it and I get that it didn't install.:crying:
Our is their a way I can just flash the update?
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/06/t-mobile-htc-one-receiving-minor-software-update/
I've not noticed any difference except for the capacitive buttons. Still wish they'd fix audio notifications being sent through speakr and headphones
Too bad that the update didn't fix the Google Now location service bug . Wonder when or who is going to fix that issue.
I tried two of the 4.2.2 roms today and neither of them had the option for Wifi Calling (TrickDroid and Android Revolution). I'm not sure if it was because the ROMs are based on the international leak...
It's a fix for the dual Mic's. It helps noise canceling while on speaker phone. It may address other issues as well but that is the purpose of the update.

1.27.531.8 For HTC One
I just picked up this phone today. After reading this forum, checked and I have this version. Not sure if it updated while things were setting up or it came out of the box with it.
they also added sweep panorama mode.
Capacitive buttons definitely feel better, I used to have issues getting double tap (to bring up recent apps) to work properly, but now its no problem.

[Q] Web pages will not load or load properly

Hello,
I have been looking for help on this matter. Regardless the browser I use, certain web pages will not load. For example, when I type www.space.com I get a 404 error.
When I use MLB at Bat 2013, and switch for the standings page, I get an error that says wap.mlb.com is not available. Some other web pages, after I login they get me back to the starting page without login in.
I Read at another thread that someone recommended using a VPN. Luckily I have one. I connected to the VPN and then, voila! Problem solved.
I do not want to use the VPN, I used to be able to browse without a VPN with no problems. I do not know what happened.
Sometimes I have noticed in the address bar of the browser after I typed in an URL, that IT gets all wrong. For example, I Type www.space.com, hit enter and the address bar reads, http://www.space.comhttp://space.com
I have unsinstalled the browsers, clean the cache and data for them....
Anyone that could shed some light on this?
I will appreciate It.

I just clicked on the link (www.space.com) in your post and my browser connected immediately with no problem. Are you sure it's the Tablet Z that's causing the problem, not the router?
I'm using a custom ROM (PAC) with the stock Android (AOSP) browser.
Hello,
I read about router issues in another thread. The thing is, when I use the VPN I configured in the tablet settings, everything works fine, I mean, web pages load with no problem. I just do not understand this behavior. My wife has a Samsung note 8 and she browses the web with no problems.

This doesn't sound like a tablet problem, it sounds like an app or OS problem. My tab works just fine and apart from you, I haven't seen anyone else having problems loading web pages.
While it will suck to reload everything on your tablet, I'd recommend that you reset the tab back to factory condition. The first thing you do after that is to check that you can surf to the site(s) that are causing you problems. If everything is working ok, then one at a time, start re-installing all your apps checking after every two or three apps to make sure the problem hasn't returned.
If your tab was rooted, do that last after everything else is installed and working.
You don't include a lot of info on what version of android you are running, what version of tablet you have. Without much more info, it's difficult to narrow down possible causes for your problem. If you have a sgp321, do you have the same problem surfing while using your cell carrier? If your tab is wifi only, then this is definitely a software environment problem or your router has lost its mind. If no problems on any other connected devices on your LAN, it pretty much has to be a tablet software issue.
I assume you haven't been screwing with the bootloader or the kernel have you?
Good luck.
I did have WIFI issues with the custom roms (Pacman and AOKP) as well. Went back to Sony 4.1.2 and it's solved.
Hoping for an UI mod for the 4.2.2 now.

As dph3055 says, people can't help when you've not supplied some basic info - although I see from your signature you've got a 311.
Also, what happens on any other wifi router ? have you tried another one?
Thank you, Guys. I decided to backup the Tablet Z with Titanium and then I peformed a hard reset. Now the issue is gone.
Browsers back to normal. Yes, I forgot to add information about the tablet. For the recored in case somebody else encohnters this weird problem, I have the tablet Z 16 GB only WiFi, I am rooted but I have not unlocked it. I recently upgraded to Sony's update 4.2.2
I have not installed any custom roms nor kernels. Since I have not unlocked I never messed with the bootloader.
Im gonna see how the tablet performs and if I get stuck into same behavior will report back.

Hi Sax---101. I have the same model as yours & am having similar issue. Did you update to 4.2.2 before or after you did the hard reset? I just came from the Sony store & rep said issue would be corrected just by updating to 4.2.2. I don't want to update to 4.2.2 because of the major change to the user interface; I've been reading that hardly anybody likes it (including the Sony rep). I can't get the WatchEspn app to work without the update. He told me to check on xda forum for way to bypass the update (with a sideload just for this issue?), but I can't find it.
So.....did you update before or after hard reset?
Everybody else: Is there a way to correct the issue so I can get all the ESPN channels, WITHOUT the update?
aajj99,
As far as I know, this website display problem that you and one other person are experiencing has nothing to do with the firmware on the XTZ.
I am currently running .136 and have no issues with website display. The problem is related to the the apps & OS environment you have created since you began using your tab. A reset will fix the problem until you do something to break it again.
You don't need to upgrade firmware to fix this issue.

Question 61.0.A.15.35

It looks new update was released:
Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC52)
The latest software and firmware versions for the Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC52) XperiCheck.com checks the Sony servers every 5 minutes to always display the latest information.
xpericheck.com
Anyone received it already and can share feedback? Knowing sony only copy paste of security patch from Google but who knows?
Stubborn sony still does not share release notes! <angry>
Got it yesterday, no issues, but I haven't noticed any obvious changes either.
On previous version, I've had a black notification bar stick to the top of game screen a few times, no reoccurrences of that so far, but am not convinced it's fixed yet.
Now generally available in UK - was only for carrier versions previously I understand. Only change I can detect is October security update. Shame Sony never do a change log

Looks like a restart fixed it!
Touch and navigation vibration is so buggy. One restart it works, another restart it doesn't work and another restar it works. I think it is time for Sony to fix this. Anyway that is my problem with touch and navigation vibration. After this software update it works but we will see if they fixed this..
Hi,
I noticed changes in the Clock application and when it's ringing, buttons looks like new Android 12 Design maybe...
Nothing else noticed as changed since yesterday (so not a long time...)

The clock app is updated through the play store by google, not by sony. I had the new design before this new sony update.
ok, sorry
The XQ-BC62 got this today and I can't find anything that changed except for a security update. It's a huge plus if Sony has automated security patches, but there's a lot of unfinished work on this phone that I'd like to see addressed. Start fixing carrier support!
Alot of ppl are saying heat fixed but mines still gets warm
The Photo Pro and Cinema Pro apps run cool now. The phone gets warm, but hot, if I run a video transcoder.
It seems to have a new bug with tap-to-wake.

Yea it better on chinese ROM for me. I removed all the badiu crap and it close to stock than ever.
Word of advice. Do not change anything in the default phone setting >>> *#*#4636#*#* this will cause the mobile network setting to fc and only way out or to fix is starting from scratch with new flasher.
