Clicked on the "WHAT'S NEW" tab and the only thing said is "Bug fixed." However, after performing a few tests, I believe it is a fix for the "disappearing icons" problem related to user apps that are moved to sdcard memory (i.e., Move to USB storage).
I think that this also solve the automatically touch at the screen

Yeap, nothing on the xperia tablet.
Yay, Sony finally does something for the Sony Tablet S.
From the looks of it, everyone got this from the same day when I checked the comments once I got the update notification.
Problem though, the update takes up a little space from the storage, it would be fun and storage friendly if it was via OTA Update.

Not really. Even though this forum's title is Sony Tablet S, this forum also covers Sony Tablet P and Xperia Tablet S.

I think if someone creates a thread, they should specify for wich tab or tabs is the main topic at the title of the thread to avoid any confusions
And now I can update this app without fear

Mine still have. Did you do anything after updating the home launcher? Factory reset or anything?
My tablet seems smoother, almost lag free.

Sony should of not did it has a Play Store update since that uses the update data in the data partition causing a slow down, they should of done a OTA update for the launcher so their will be no issues.

Sony's other system apps (Walkman, Album, etc.) are updated via Google's Play Store, so there is nothing wrong with Sony updating the Home app via Google's Play Store too; the Home app is just another system app. Saying Sony should have updated the Home app via an OTA update instead of Google's Play Store is a ridiculous statement and ridiculous thinking.

Hey people,
I`ve noticed that some apps seem to load upside down on the tablet(seem to be mostly apps that are designed for phone android)
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to resolve this?
Cheers
I have seen this happen with a few select apps, Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine in particular. Even the XDA app starts sideways, then rotates back to the right spot.
Can,t say i,ve encountered that problem yet. All apps install for me without any problem
IT happens with the Antipaper Notes HD app as well as 50 languages and the games nano panda and Blast monkeys.
I dont mind if apps only work in portrait but I`d prefer the other way around :s
Happened to me too and the problem was i could not get out of them so had to reset the device with a pin on the side. Don't remember what they were as i uninstalled them immediately

I havent had that happen, but i do run into a problem, when i try to download an app sometimes, it wil say its downloading, but thats all it does, i have to back out, click download again then it wil finally install. Sometimes i will click download and it closes the market out completely and randomly opens an app from my library.
Happens to me as well. Mostly phone apps.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF THESE APPS ARE WORKING ON OTHER TABS??!!!??
on other tablets, it doesn't matter since they are symmetrical. For right-handed people, it's natural to hold it with the left hand and on the Sony tablet it feels awkward to hold it in portrait mode by the thin side. A number of apps (like the Tapatalk app) load upside down but then flip correctly and some (the official Flickr) run only upside down (at least for righties)

I have the same problem.
Does anyone know of a fix?
An example of a few of the free apps not working:
* Air Asia
* Booking.com
* PADI
put it in your other hand.
You can use the app orientation control as a workaround
I assume you're holding it thick side in your left hand? Default landscape for apps is so the top of the phone/device is on the left side so portrait would be thick side on the right. Nothing strange, just Androids default.

So I recently imported a padfone 2 from Taiwan to replace my S3, the device is awesome both as a tablet and as a phone itself. Anyhow, I recently Installed N.O.V.A 3. Now I managed to play 2 levels from N.o.v.a 3 on friday, However, Yesterday, I tried loading it up and whilst it loads up fine, the screen only shows up black. I'm getting this weird thing where the game loads perfectly fine, in terms of menus, but when you come to the actual game, all that shows on screen is text and the HUD. Sounds play fine too. I've tried NOVA3 and Most Wanted and both do the same thing. the game doesnt crash at all and it lets you play as if theres no problem at all. This happens on both tablet and the phone.

Just received my PadFone 2 as well and I have had the same problem with NFS Most Wanted. Could it be because of the Quad-core Qualcomm processor? like it is relatively new,

I've been using this version of twitter for a while on my Galaxy Mega but have now gone back to my Xperia Z. Do you know if there's any way to get it working in the Xperia Z? I assume that it recognised the Mega was a 'Phablet' so let it run on that but recognises the Xperia Z as a phone and won't let it.
I just prefer the general layout with the swipe from left bit and how it functions in landscape mode so would prefer not to lose that.
PS - when I tried it every time I tried to open it just crashed.
Thanks

Oh, I think it actually might be due to a microphone not working properly, I am on UK C6833 with the lates firmware update.

AFAIK, the device test tests the hardware connection itself as well as drivers etc, so if it's failing I think it's a hardware issue. I'd get it fixed on warranty if I were you. Who's your network?

Have you tried Skype? I mean, you could try it and see if it works there (do a test call), and if it does, it's clearly something with the messenger app and not the hardware.
And, this thread should be in the Q&A section and not general.

Facebook or more Apps problem with bootloader unlocked Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6806)
After factory reset my beloved C6806 (Sony Xperia Z Ultra ) and unlocking the bootloader through the Sony official unlocking procedure, I found my Facebook, Gmail, SMS and more apps started failing to run. Especially Facebook app, it just worked once after fresh installation. After restarting the phone, the Facebook app was no longer work. The screen kept flashing several times and then exited. I was never able to make it work again.
The only way to reviving the Facebook app was through clearing data in the app (Settings>Apps>Facebook>Clear Data). However, It required login to Facebook again then worked until the phone restarting. The same symptom repeats again, again and again. I am so frustrated because the problem of instability then extended to more apps. I had also tried to install Messenger or old version of Facebook App but there was no luck at all to solve the problem. The phone started running unstable.
I originally planned to install a custom ROM and root the phone in order to resolve the problems. In that moment, I had an idea and guessed that the problems might be caused by the bootloader. The I use Flashtool and lock the bootloader.
Wow La .................. All the problems are solved and no more problem existed.
If you have the same problem with Sony smartphone and the phone is bootloader unlocked, please try to relock the bootloader again. It may solve most of your problems.
Additional note: Some people have mentioned the problem of Xperia For Facebook. This is the hint for me to think about the source of problem coming from the bootloader. Sony's default apps have a habit to check the bootloader status of the phone before running like FOTA Update. No more update is avail for those unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphones. So do not use Official ROMs if you want to unlock bootloader. (However, many apps will stop running with custom ROMs like bank apps or Google Pay.) Please install custom ROMs with unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphone. Do not keep using the Official Version ROMs because this will be your beginning of nightmare.

........calm down. You can't base your conclusion on that vague investigation.
Stock rom is so old and abandoned sony haven't added anything new to it like blocking facebook.
Yes some app developers are starting to block access to rooted devices is different ways.
There is no signs that facebook ie microsoft is blocking rooted devices yet.
But recently google is implementing only a simple block so you cant download the app from play store. But you can simply install the apk manually.
You should try something else first. Like flashing a stock rom ftf. Wiping the whole phone after the unlock including internal storage and sdcards. Even if unlocking wipes the phone.
