Good luck. Sony Support tell me there's "No issues with 4.0.4 on Xperia". Blatantly wrong, as others on this forum will confirm.
I've gone back to Gingerbread on mine this morning and already my camera is back to what it was and my Bluetooth now streams properly!!
Having the same issue on the new stock rom with the camera.
The yellow blobs (or tint) on the screen is a confirmed problem (Sony support forum).

I don't have any yellow blobs/tint issue but i do have the quicklaunch/fastcapture bug, it doesn't work most times for me (when i need it)! If sony doesn't fix this (and other bugs) in the coming ics updates, i too will be left with no choice but to switch it/sell it (which otherwise is an excellent device)!
Sony will fix the issues. They recently fixed bluetooth stutter with the latest firmware, so I am sure they will fix the other things.

??? What build are you on? When I was on 6.1.A.0.453 (UK Generic) I still had the bug - even after a firmware repair!

No friend, Now i moved in to GB but same result. I don't think this is a Sony ICS issue !!!.
Also when i unlock my phone, that time only i am seeing this issue. After unlock phone works normal.
Still are you facing this issue ?
yes, but most of time I can't swype, because touchscreen driver read it as click. Maybe we must go to service center. I know there is two types of touchscreen Sony and Sharp, maybe one of them is defective.
Very often I can't pick up the phone because of that bug. Also I see that pointer moves himselve.
"Bootloader unlock" may case of void company warranty !!!, what we can do now ?
If we get this mobile to them they will findout right ?
unfortunately, yes if your unlock your bootloader by official way.
I read on the sony.mobile that the replacement does not help with this issue.
Yes i did this by Sony way
What about you ?
I had the same issue when I was on stock GB. But after I stated using CM9 and now AOKP I don't have the issue!

i had the same issue for some times, now work normally. i haven't do anything.
i think is the digitizer that is faulty or another hardware problem because i try to wipe the phone standing on ICS, i try CM9 and GB but always the same.
at the moment i'm on stock ICS but seems ok.
crossing fingers....

Hello everyone!
I believe that a lot of people were able to upgrade their OS to ICS without rooting.
Now, I just got a factory unlocked phone thru Amazon and was excited to update it until... I found out that there's no update for my device. I had no idea that only *certain* Xperia S' will be upgradable!
Does anyone know if Sony will eventually release ICS for ALL Xperia S devices, or is it only for certain countries?
FYI, I believe my phone is a German release since it was set to German language as default. And the SI# is 1257-2737. I have T-Mobile USA.
Thanks in advance.

Eventually you will get as its rolled out globally.
Meantime you can also flash other region firmware. Just go to the general section of this forum and there is a sticky thread which consists of all the firmware related stuff.
Mask edrvan
So it's 100% confirmed that eventually, Sony will release ICS for the rest of the Xperia S devices from other regions? If so, that's really great news.
I don't want to root (or do anything) my phone just yet as I'm worried that I might get the yellow tint issue. I'll wait a while first.
Isn't the yellow tint a hardware issue?

If you don't have yellow tint now, it won't appear later. And yes, it's 100% confirmed that all devices will get the update eventually.
Yeah it would be a hardware issue for the yellow tint, but I've heard various stories where Sony refused to repair people's device because they have been modded in any way (sorry, lack of vocab here, I'm new to the rooting world). I just don't want to risk it yet.
Also, I thought the yellow tint can appear eventually?
Especially if your screen gets hot a lot or something? (I'm not too knowledgeable on this issue).

It appears immediately when the screen gets hot, to test it, just play some Dead Trigger or whatever other game has tons of HD graphics. Reparing rooted devices seems to be fine if you're not located in India...
I was playing Dead Trigger for 5 minutes. Turned it off and checked the temperature; it was at 38C.
Looked at my screen with the flashlight app thing, and I don't see a yellow tinge... however... I might be seeing things, but I think I see some slight yellow gradient near the bottom of the screen.
Some others say that the yellow tinge starts showing up later =s
I'll just wait and see.
Thanks for the replies by the way :good:
The best app for me to see my yellow tint is Adobe Reader as it has a white background. My tint only appeared a month after buying my phone and I used the phone many times over 40 degrees.
However upgrading to ICS using flashtool will not void your warranty. There will be a guide in the general forum somewhere. Sorry I can't give you a link as I'm on my Xperia S now.

So, hi guys.
I just came home with my new Z2 after giving back my Z.
I downloaded the german ftf and the new flashtool for the Z2 and updated to this firmware.
I'm really not sure if this is related to the firmware update but I don't think so.
My issue is quite simple: the camera autofocus doesn't work. It just simply has a fixed focus (which works great for the near stuff but 100% fails for all other distances).
It's not a slow autofocus, it just doesn't work, the camera doesn't move, you don't hear any focusing noise. the camera button doesn't focus, tap on the screen doesn't focus.
Basically all my pictures and my videos have an amazing quality, but are all out of focus.
I googled around but looks like nobody has this issue. Is that fatal? Should I return it?

Xperia and almost all smartphones have digital focus
there s no special hardware for zooming
SO if you have problem in one feature of camera App do this;
- use another camera app : for example google camera and check if it can do auto focus
- install another firmware or just reinstall current firmware
- repair firmware by PCC
- after these IF sill thr s no auto focus >> take it to sony service
:good:

Autofocus and (digital) zoom are two different things.
I just update the 402 firmware and now my camera won't focus at all. It was fine before. Wtf...
Got the same Problem as you i have cyanogenmod 12.1 and my autofocus doesn't work as well on my z2. It worked with the stock Rom but after i unlocked, rooted and flashed CM on it, the autofocus doesn't work anymore. I Tried other camera apps but the AF just won't work. Have you solved the Problem yet? I'm considering to flash back to stock Rom but CM is so awesome

I can confirm that the focus button doesn't work on CM12.1 on my Z2 and the focus state doesn't work on the Google camera app, but I found an app that makes use of this autofocus feature - DSLR Camera Pro. The only downside to it, however, is that you can only take photos with it, and plus it's a paid app (but was worth it). Maybe there are other apps that can detect this autofocus, but I haven't researched this problem fully.
a m i feel the same tried and nothing drm reset the camera still faulty even if anyone has any solution please write
Same problem here...
Same issue except it won't even take photos and just sits there trying to focus.
The only fix is to revert to the previous official OS if you think it's worth it...
feherneoh said:
I hate necro-ing, but I have this last described problem too. Phone tries to focus, and the app stays that way forever.
I thought it was the result of restoring a TWRP backup from another phone, but resetting anything camera-related does not solve the problem.
Current config: Z2 system, Z3 Compact data

Hitting the top part of the phone where camera module is located with the back of my finger helped. This happened to me after flashing a camera mod.
It's now working without problems
I have an issue with the headphone jack. I use third party headphones (I dont have the stock Sony ones) and when I plug them in, the sound comes out of the phone's external speaker most of the time. I get the symbol in the status bar to say 'Headset connected'. Sometimes the sound DOES come out of the headphones but seemingly randomly! Tried different headphones and applications on the phone. I have used Sony's Update Service software to download and reinstall the latest ROM but this has not fixed the problem.. My Ultra is on 4.4.2, buildd number: 14.3.A.0.757
Anyone had this issue?
Thanks!
I didnt have this issue by my c6802 and a stock headphone with rom version as you have, before i heared some peaple had this problem with other version(lower build number,i think) maybe this is of your nonstock headphone. Why didnt update to newer 14.4.a.0.108? Maybe it disapear againe.

if you feel comfortable you could flash a generic FTF so you are on the latest 4.4.4 (xxxx.108) firmware from sony. You dont have to be rooted to do this.

Yes I could do that but only worth it really if it actuall resolves the problem. I had a Z ultra last year and that one didn't have this issue. I think I will give that 4.4.4 a go this weekend - do you know if it would affect warranty at all?
Thanks

It might, depending on the service centre.
Have a search about speaker/headset issues, I think it only affected 4.4.2 and that was updated quite quick and resolved the issue for most people that had the problem

happened to me after having xzu for 3 or so months - I got a new warranty replacement (had a 6802, received a new 6833 ftw)
This happened once last week when I plugged the stock earplugs in when I also received a message, and it played the audio through the external speakers. I unplugged it and plugged it again, and it was back to normal. Probably a glitch in the matrix.
I have a C6833 and this problem started a few months back with my device.
Now it happens about every time I pause the music. When I hit play or resume the audio is coming from the internal speaker so I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in and that solves the problem at least for the moment. Some days my device does what it suppose to do just great. And other periods it just sends the stream back to the internal speaker all the time whenever I pause the music.
I have flashed the latest .108 but problem still exists. It might be some error with the hardware what do I know. For now I won't take the time to send it in for service. Perhaps I will send it to repair right before my warranty expires just to make some use of it
I use the stock headphones, and some Apple just some generic Apple earphones that you receive in the box when you buy an Iphone 5 or later
I have the sbh52 and the headphones that came with that work perfectly so far. Apple earpods work some of the time and Astro A30s dont work at all. Whuch makes me think its software.

I have the Xperia 5 IV XQ-CQ72 and i got update notification but still on Android 12. no 13 yet.
I have Xperia 5 IV XQ-CQ72 too. No 13 either, but I just bought the phone (Black Friday acquisition). I'm new to Sony family, previously I had a few Vivo phones. So far I'm impressed. It's amazing how Japanese squeeze such a lot of electronics into a small phone, even a 5Ah battery, and everything works flawlessly.
I'm glad that I don't experience two issues usually mentioned in phone reviews - overheating and unreliable fingerprint.
I don't have a chance to really test the camera, though. But on the first sight it looks more promising than I expected. After all, I came from Vivo.

The phone is great, except it kills apps from background too fast. That's a software issue thankfully and can be resolved with a software update.

I've been chatting with Sony support about this and providing whatever videos they ask for as evidence. Hopefully they address the problem since I've given them logcat dumps demonstrating the issue.
I just got info from Sony support today that one of the issues I've reported should be fixed in the Android 13 release due by the end of next week (Dec 23). I'm in the US with the 62 model.
I just flashed the 64.1.A.0.857 via newflasher ...
Downloaded the firmware via XperiFirm.
Device: XQ-CQ54
Merry Christmas everyone ...

For that matter - since Sony openly lets us unlock the bootloader, OFW updates are a full-go for us and won't impede rooting ability, right?

1.- Only for international devices. Sony doesn't allow bootloader unlock for US devices.
2.- As far I know, modified devices (unlocked bootloader) lose OTA. I had to manually update using Xperiafirm and newflasher

By the way, I'm infinitely glad I picked one up in Japan over the US because this scrutiny is ridiculous! That said, I'm not rooted just yet and I'd have to prep a full file (mostly in-phone backup of pics) backup first, so I'm not rooted yet and seems like jumping to 13 first makes the most sense.
That said, I seriously gotta tip my hat to Sony for just allowing us to do entirely as we please with their phones while literally every other brand is cockblocking our freedom. Over the years, I missed having a task killer soooo much to save random background apps slowly tugging at the battery and then all the magisk plugins like ad blockers.
