Hi,
got a xpera s for my mom. Everything stock, no apps installed and even widgets on homescreen are not changed (only social widgets removed), freezed all the bloatware. The phone has many wakelocks, bbs shows 30% alarms. But as the phone isn't rooted it's not able to detect the alarms. Does anyone know the issue from his phone?
Is it updated to 2.50 firmware?
Tapatalked Xperia S
2.45. The phone says there was no update

Hello,
i have some problems with my X10. Whenever i start Mediascape and browse some pictures the phone gets slower and slower. Additionally, the battery temperature is going up over time, so that the phone is really warm.
After taking a look into Android System Info and some testing i could determine the cause of this problem.
There are two processes of android.process.acore (package: adw.launcher or go.launcher, see later) that are running with 100% CPU Usage. After killing (restarting) one of both processes the other one disappears, and cpu usage goes back to normal. But if mediascape is launched again, the same issue occurs.
After more testing i found, that this only happens if i use another launcher and not the original one from SE. If i use the SE launcher (and freeze the 3rd-party via titanium) the problem does not occur.
First, i thought that i maybe have killed to much of the bloatware, so i restored the original firmware via SEUS and tried again - with no success, the issue persists furthermore. No original App were removed, and no old configuration was used, only defaults.
My Steps with after restoring the original firmware.
- root with RATC, manually via linux and adb
- entered google account to check in the market
- updated market, facebook, and google maps
- downloaded busybox, xrecovery and titanium backup pro
- installed the jit2-enabler from the forums and enabled it via xrecovery (dalvik cache cleared)
- restored
- clean install of ADW.Launcher
=> testing, problem occurs again (process: android.process.acore with package adw.launcher at 100% after using mediascape)
- removed ADW.Launcher and installed Go! Launcher
=> testing, problem occurs again (process: android.process.acore with package adw.launcher at 100% after using mediascape)
- removed Go! Launcher and proceeded to xda-devs in search for some help
Can this be a issue caused by JIT2 ?
Any ideas, what can i do now ?
I Hate the original launcher, i would like to stay with Go! or ADW. Mediascape can not be uninstalled without problems or loss of functions afaik.
--- sry @mod for posting in wrong forum
no ideas ?
I have the same problem
Any ideas?
You've better wait for a couple of hours or a night coz after finish upgrade the phone, X10 (face recognition service) will try to rescan your sdcard, looking for media file.
Your X10 will have high CPU load, consume a lot of battery and also having slow response during this scan period.
The scan period is depending on number of media files on sdcard and number of pictures in your facebook account.
1.I have a Galaxy S3 has been over two months. Bought it in a store in Israel and got VODAFONE company's rom and i still with that rom and I updated to the version added the app flipboard and the option to change the brightness from the notification. I use Samsung's TOUCHWIZ After trying the apex launcher and the nova prime but all have the same problem including in TOUCHWIZ: When I go into applications and games and applications have an issue where files and applications, including all menu takes a long time to recharge. I realized that the problem call redraw could not find a solution. I read the weather widget Samsung's causing the problem and removed it and the problem a little better but still not quite.
Is there something completely solve the problem? My version now is I9300BULG2.
2. When will i get the Jelly bean update? I don't want to change my rom or to do root.
3. When I recharging phone in battery settings I noticed that phone battery charging is via USB. Is this normal?
4.I did updates for some applications in the play store and when I tried to install them I had a message there is not enough storage space available and even though I used 10.86 GB of 11.35 GB and I have a 8GB memory card. What should I do?
5. I downloaded some software from the samsung apps store and after I tried to install there was a message that the installation failed. Is it because I do not have enough space?
Thank you !
Hi.
Been on various jelly bean versions but on everyone I am suffering serious battery drain from facebook. I have turned off notifications and sync but it keeps waking up phone according to better battery stats. Anyone else having this problem? I am now running the latest btu UK version and still the same.

Delete the Facebook app
no Problem here,
try reinstalling!
It has nothing to do with JB. It has to do with the latest update of the Facebook app.
Somehow the current FB app keeps a thread running all the time to check for updates and keeping the device in sync, and that not only makes the phone terribly slow and laggy, but it also causes more battery drain (not to mention higher data consumption)
Since I didn't have a backup of the previous FB app, my choice was to uninstall FB and, honestly, I don't regret it.
The thing is, I use facebook frequently so don't want to uninstall it. Since flashing to jb, I have had to disable Google now, location services and various other things which I didn't have to with ics! What's the point of a smart phone if you can't have anything installed/running!

Install Tasker and Secure Settings. Create a Tasker profile to use the SS plugin and freeze Facebook when the screen is turned off. Create a Task to unfreeze FB, wait half a second and the open FB app. On your homescreen create a Tasker widget to run the second task, and make the icon for the task the FB app icon.
I've done the above, and it means I can run FB on my phone but as soon as I turn the screen off the app is frozen and it can't drain my battery. I do the same for Google Maps for similar reasons.
Hi,
My Xperia Z ultra was working fine until 3 hours ago. There were few updates from googleplay, authorised, left in charge, came back 2 hours ago and it has been freezing , shutting and restarting continuously, it freezes the UI , xperia home app and evertything else.
I use it for business and it doing my head.
thank you for your help.
Ok that is weird. My friend just asked me regarding her Xperia Z Ultra. It has the same symptoms as the one you described, and it also happened since 1-2 days ago, when she left the phone on charge, and it updates some applications on google play. I already tried uninstalling some apps to no avail. Removing the SD card lets you navigate your phone longer, but when you try to launch ANY apps (including the option to factory reset your phone) it will immediately freeze, and restart. I might try installing custom ROM in this thing...
Solved
Hi, being for business and out of desperation I have hard reset it. It wasn't easy as it would freeze before I could press the relevant button. What I have done is let the phablet battery die, recharge it completely on off mode, turn it on, follow the link for the reset option, and it worked! It took another 3/4 hours to reinstall everything but so far so good, I hope it helps
got same problem within 2 days,i have two xperia and always hang & restart...any solution ??
Another instance...
I updated 48 apps today on the Google Play Store (i've disabled auto update) and i'm now in a bootloop as well...
I guess it's on of the Sony or Google apps that had an update that would cause this?
I think the issue is related to Xperia Home, will switch to default launcher and check.
Got same problem. Short story: did the factory reset, issue slowed down a bit but still present, now I'm downloading the same stock rom via flash tool and after flashing see if the problem stopped...
same Problem to me. did the factory reset by companion and it worked for two days, no started again with the restart loop and freezing continously... any Infos from Sony...?
I just called the Xperia Support. It is just a Facebook problem. Simply deinstall Facebook app and your mobile will work again without any problems. Facebook has been informed about the issue. when the problem will be solved by Facebook is unknown...
I have C6833 and same symptoms. When I check Sony Diagnoistics app it shows Instagram caused system freeze/crash.
Instagram freezes mobile and then it restarts. Something like overheat protection inside forcing a restart after app freeze.
Also Facebook app crashed when you just start and flashes multiple times.
Those two apps updated by Facebook and I believe some compatibility issue.
Found older version of Facebook from apkmirror and installed.
Now Facebook & Instagram not crashing, mobile not restarting.
JFYI version from June 14th.

Update: I flashed the same stock rom with flashtool and everything is ok now.... It looks like the rom corrupted somehow and the factory reset didn't helped completely...
I also noticed it is caused by the latest Facebook update. Just check the latest reviews now on the play store...
Removed Facebook app (luckily also not part of ROM). Phone now stable and 24/7/365 50% CPU usage dropped to around 20%. The last Facebook update is very bad... Not going to use it anymore on my Ultra... Facebook is now blacklisted for my Z.
Second update: facebook worked for 2 days and again stopped working, messenger constantly showing one unread message which I opened 100 times, but the number notification on icon is still present. Also sometimes a random app freezes, phone looses touch and reboots after some time... Looks like something in hardware is slowly diying...
Solved
As some of you guys found out the culprit is the latest update from FB. After uninstalled it everything is fine .
Thank you for your input.
Hi all,
I hope someone is still around here...
In the past weeks I started to have a very annoying issue with my phone, hopefully someone can help.
I have a Honor9, with Android 9, EMUI 9.1.0, all stock, no root, no custom image, nothing.
Since a couple of weeks, all widgets are stuck. They work for a few hours after rebooting the phone, but after that, they stop updating and some of them is not responding at all.
Transparent clock updates time and day, but weather is not updated. Calendar is not responding and not updated. Even the settings widget is not updating the icons any more. All other widgets are stuck at the last update or on a "updating". I have tried to stop the applications but they don't restart.
I can't recall any particular update before the issue started, unless the automatic update of applications update from google store. I have tried also to reinstall a couple of widgets but they don't work -what is interesting is that they don't work straight away even after reinstalling, meaning that something in the system is triggered and keeps them blocked. Also, adding new widgets once the issue is present doesn't work, they don't show up on the screen, but they appear all together next time the phone reboots, supporting the idea that something in the system is keeping all widgets locked.
It doesn't look like the usual battery saving settings, all widgets were fine and I can't see anything different in the power saving settings.
Before I wipe out the phone and restart from scratch, does anyone has any idea of what I could try?
Thanks!
