When i use mobile internet, the marker jumps from left to right or from top to bottom (as if was scrolling). This happend on the original 2.1 sense and on my current custom ROM (Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.7 Android 2.3.4). Makes it almost impossible to scroll in the app menu since it's scrolling all by itself, or to type anything in search in Market since it jumps right to the search button after typing the first letter. Doesn't happen all the time, but way too often. Really annoying.
Note that it doesn't happen when using WiFi.
Anybody having the same problem? Can it be fixed?
what about browser it did the same problem when you connected by gprs ?

Don't think so.. like I said, this has been the case with both Sense and various Cm ROMs
Sent from my Hero using XDA Premium App
no if you have problem with sense that problem will happen in all of your rom no't in gprs only .
didn't get that..
Anybody have any kind of solution to this issue?
Okay, this is interesting.
I never related this issue to beeing on 3G or not.
The Device behaves as if you scroll with the trackball to the right but you didn't touch it, right?
I have that too sometimes. I think it is more a hardware issue.
I presume the Hall sensors in the trackball tend to drift after a while.
Scrolling wildly arround on the trackball for a few seconds generaly fixes it for me.
It never bothered me a lot because this occures only very rarely.
Yeap, that's right. It just lives it's own life.. I'll try to scroll like a mad man the next time this happens, thanks
Hi Guys
I've got a BestBuy WIfI only Flyer and I'm running Paul O'Brien's HoneyComb 3.41.405.1 and it runs great.
The battery life seems similar to GingerBread but I've noticed that the thing using most of the battery is the mobile radio (via 'battery use' in settings). When I switch to Airplane mode and then turn on WiFi battery life does in deed seem to be much better !
I could leave it in Airplane Mode - I just have to put up with the irratating airplane mode lock screen instead of the beautiful HTC sense one but I'd like to understand why the radio circuitry appears to be turned on. It suggests something is not quite right.
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Thanks
PS - Since the battery life is about the same as with GingerBread I wonder if the mobile radio circuitry was getting turned even in the standard HTC rom as well ?
Are you using Twitter? THat killed a lot of battery when I was on HC.
I don't think Twitter is running. It is installed but I've NEVER signed in.
In any case all data would surely be over WiFi? The Issue here is that the mobile radio (I.e the 3G circuitry) is appearing to draw some power from the battery on a WiFi Only Flyer !
On initial set up when it asks for if you use 3g of wifi you may have clicked next so it tries to use 3g. the only way is to wipe data and when it asks for wifi or 3g you pick wifi only.
There is an issue if you do not declare wifi only during initial setup screens then the cell standby code runs continuously trying to initialize a non-existent radio, and eats the battery. The only way to fix it is as described in the post above.
Thanks Guys
I'll try wiping the flyer. Whats the best way to back-up my apps under HC?
Regards
There is a way to fix this through the easter egg menus hidden in the flyer. There's a thread on how to do this somewhere, but I'll give the instructions here anyway.
Open the flyer's calculator app.
Put the flyer in landscape mode so you can see all the advanced function keys.
Enter: !+!+4636+!+! and hit = .
From the easter egg menu which comes up, select "Tablet Information."
Click "Turn off radio."
That's it!
Note that you have to do this each time the flyer reboots. It isn't sticky. Luckily the symbols entered into calculator ARE sticky, so just go into it again and hit equals (unless you have to use the calculator for something else, of course. I recommend downloading a different app, like RealCalc, for everyday use).

Titianum backup is what I use.
Battery life better now
Hi Guys
I used the Calculator 'Easter Egg' to turn off the mobile radio.
I've been running the Flyer ON-STOP for the last 8 hours and I've got 8% battery left. For 6 1/2 of those hours I've been watching YouTube videos (Just left it playing through my playlists) so it's been using WiFi for at least that long out of the 8 hours.
Seems like pretty good battery life to me !
Thanks again
Hi everyone
I experienced a GPS problem since i update from build 3.0xxx
and i'm not alone, probably all Neo have this issue and i'm sure is a software bug
Here you can find interesting informations
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/145641#145641
the gps signal usually drops every 5 minutes without reason
there is a log in the discussione and very accurate dates
this is my last reply and experience:
"Oh my god, is totally right
in flight mode no gps disconnection !!!!!!
today 20km in the city with these settings:
wifi off - gms only - connection data off (i don't have a sim plane), my cell is totally out of the net
first 10 km gps drops every 5 minutes
last 10 km, same settings but flight mode ON
no more signal drops !!!
i don't know if crying or laughing
but it is clear this is a BUG
Sony do something, we hope in you"
I thinks would be simple correct this bug, the problem is very precise
like the wifi one that drops
what do you think about?
Today 50km with Sygic gps navigation
flight mode ON
GREAT! signal perfect and very very precise
flight mode OFF
very bad, every 5:00.00 minutes the signal drops
this happen only with no Data Connection
most of you have data connection, so you don't observe the problem, but there is
agps must not work during navigation !!!
i'm unable to contact sony to solve this issue, xperia support center says me they don't speak with developers to cure this bug in the next release software
please help me, it is possible do something, some mods from your developers?
it is so bad navigate and can't receive call
really ? maybe u can upgrade the version to 4.0
Yes, without data connection, the gps drops every 5 minutes, not ecceptions
only in flight mode all is perfect
so i ask you, you are very expert and good developers
it is so difficult investigate this problem and found a solution?
I can't wait ICS, this is a big issue
I hope some developers from you can help me, found the problem and a simple solution, a command line, a script, something that allow the gps to work without data

I don't use data, but I've never experienced any problems with GPS.
Which kernel do you use? Maybe try the OC kernel by inteks?
My is a stock model, rooted, with last firmware 4.0.2.062
the kernel is stock
i don't know to think, in flight mode works well, with no data connection drops every 5 minutes, you says is perfect , my not
but it isn't an hardware issue, this is sure
some ideas?
I usually don't use gps that long, only for getting my position for a tweet e.g. But the times I tried it worked perfect.
How is the connection in Google Maps?
I use Google Nav for hours on end in the car and never have an issue. STOCK .42 or .62

google navigator works with data
so not is my problem, that only occurs with no data connection
i don't use google maps, but sygic gps navigation, and all the time the signal drops every 5.00 minutes not a second more or less
this precise time let me to think there is something wrong in the firmware
tha hardware is good, because in flight mode i can navigate for hours
p.s i tried a firmware repair, and this didn't happen with the firmware 3.0xxx.145
Sorry, didn't quite understand your OP then.

Ok, if you don't use the gps more then 5 minutes, you can't observe any problem
so, also your experience not is concerned about my problem
however thanks for the support, i hope someone can confirm the problem first, and then find a solution

Hi,
I can confirm this bug too. I didn't notice it before ,but it's for a second only,so that is not critical for me.(I'm on official .42 ROM, no data connection)
Sent from my MT15a using XDA App
The common bug cause disconnections every 5 minutes for about 15-20s
I just discovered also Xperia Arc is affected from this
probably you can see only a second, but with different softwares the behavior is different.
Wich navigations software do you use?
It is clear is a bug, and this can appear in many forms, but with a common point, one disconnection every 5 minutes !!!
Bug not fixed with 0.62 firmware
But, there is not a developer that can solve it himself ?
If i wait sony ...
if you dont have a data plan, why not leave "data traffic" on at all time? it wont cost you anything, since you dont send/receive any data through mobile network.
i only used the gps once (about 40 minutes), with "data traffic" on, and i did not notice any signal drop.
i think this "data traffic" goes a bit deeper: when i first got the phone i switched "data traffic" to off (no data plan, anyway) and i tried to access the internet via wifi. wireless router connected, but nothing further worked until i turned "data traffic" on.

I've recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II to Android 4.0.3 (COA - Romania) using Samsung Kies.
I sometimes have an issue:
- when I click the WiFi icon on status bar to activate wireless connection it partially gets green and stays locked for about 1-2 minutes. This happens every 6 or 7 attempts to connect using wireless. What can I do? I've already made a "Factory reset".
Another issue is:
- when I start wireless connection or the data connection from my network operator the phone locks and shuts down.
I know spotted these two issues cumulate: when Wi-Fi gets unresponsive and my phone's screen goes off, I can't start my phone.
After I restart it my battery is 14 percents lower.
Is there any solution?
same issues
I have the same issuses as described above by pykko, and beside that i have to charge my battery once in every 10-12 hours because it gets empty real fast. I don't play or watch movies on it. And i don't keep the mobile data or wireless on, only when i use them.
I have to mention that i didn't experienced these issues before updating to 4.0.3 (COA-Romania).
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.
Many people have this wifi toggle issue including me but I read many posts saying that DXLP9 has fixed this issue.
you probably should upgrade or find a custom rom with DXLP9 base or u might wanna try VK's rom its XWLP9 but according to the posts they say its fixed .

Thats when ur phone sleeps and never wakes up, I also experinced this problem its refered to as SoD(Sleep of Death), it has been more common in XWLP9(kernel to sepcific)
My recommedation is for you to upgrade to a new rom DWLP9 or the other new ones which came after XWLP9
OR
or you can try a custom rom, I found VK's rom( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559009 ) its based on XWLP9 but not the kernel and its the same as the stock but themed to ICS, so I find it nice athough I didnt try it yet .
I come from Italy and I updated my device on March, as everyone, I think. My device is now perfect except the wifi. The wifi disconnect during the stanby and it connects only using the static mode. I also have this problem even if I changed the wifi option for the stanby in "always". Another strange thing is that the wifi is reported as one of the main cause of consumption, as it is shown in the screeshot
I'm having WiFi issues as well since MM. It's set to Active on Sleep, but whenever I wake my tablet, it's disconnected and having much difficulties to re-connect.
I assumed it was some Xposed thing I'm running, haven't tested it 'clean'. Also, I'm on AndroPlusKernel v22. Not v22a yet.

Hi,
For the static mode try to change the DHCP client in the setting->developpers option.
Where are the developper options?

Same problem here
Version .163
Stock kernel
Wifi standby settings to "always"
5Ghz wifi
Sometimes (not always) wifi disconnected after standby
DHCP working here
Maybe it is linked to wifi router problems during standby. I had wifi problems already before MM (! sign at wifi symbol). Maybe the difference now is that it isn't reconnecting in standby anymore after wifi failure. But just a guess...
At least it's not how option "always" should work...

Hi,
Maybe it's related to your router lease time that send a new DHCP address after lease time. Check if the lease time is set to "permanent"

Thanks for reply. It's set to three weeks, so not the reason.
(But even then it must renew the lease and not stop the wifi.)
I'll get new router soon, let's see if something changes...

I have the same issue but I actually have the turn off wifi in sleep enabled but it still shows up that its being used in sleep when I look at battery
The problem:?*
I connect it to the Wi-Fi and it works fine for about 5 minutes. As I'm watching YouTube videos every 5 minutes the video pauses and starts to buffer until it eventually say connection lost. Meanwhile the tablet still claims that Wi-Fi is still connected and with full connection. This also happens with web pages and apps that require and internet connection.
Temporary fix:
Turning Wi-Fi off and back on again fixes it, but only for a few minutes.
What have I tried to fix it?
I've tried everything from a factory reset to a software repair.
OS: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)?*
Build Number: 32.1.A.1.185
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Same I was having it on lollipop too. They told me to send it in for repair but I just ignored them cuz there's no point. It's a software issue not a hardware issue. They're not going to find anything wrong with my tablet. It's in perfect condition.
