Dear Sir,
I am having Sony Xperia S (LT26i) running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 not Rooted Build Number 6.2.B.1.96, it was running ok and still it's all features are working fine only problem I am facing is some days later I configured built-in McAfee that comes with Xperia and after that some days later I installed Game Killer (who actually didn't performed well cause my phone was not rooted) but after that I am facing these problems...
1- While playing any game (Candy Crush Saga, Find the Objects) the loading screen appears and disappears which is very irritating and had not faced this kind of problem before McAfee and Game Killer, for Candy Crush Saga orange screen KING written on it comes and go without a fixed interval I hope you will get my point.
This was irritating so I done a Factory Reset and after that I again configured McAfee and this time no Game killer stuff, now games are working fine but when ever I open Gallary, the same thing happens in Gallary while opening a picture the picture will adjust first then without having fix intervals it reload it self (which I had never faced earlier), even all pictures thumbnails in gallary reload their selves.
Guys I need help I don't know if some kind of virus is doing all this or blah blah...
I am not a very professional user of Android.
If the problem can't be solved please guide me that a root will work for it and what root I must obtain for Sony Xperia S (Jelly Bean or KitKat) with no bugs.
Thanks & regards
If I understood well, you want to root your Xperia S, then try this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417672
I don't think the bug was caused by a virus anyway... And I don't know how to help you with this.
BTW, you could try searching/asking at the Xperia S forums on xda:

Thanks Alot..!

First of all I know there is a thread for feed back of new ICS fw,but instead bug reporting that thread contains more pleas,hatred towards Sony doubt devs from Sony will keep on reading it.
So in this thread please post the bugs you've found so far with the fw.So we can direct this to Sony devs & if they care(they did asked opinions,bug reposrts about fw in Sony forums so I assume they do care) they will try to fix them
So I'll start
+.Very choppy video recording.
+.Big battery drains
+.Loads of older games crash after 30 seconds
+.No wifi direct
+.System is kinda slow and lag comparing to ginger bread
+.Not great ram management,phone sort of freezes when using more than few apps at the same time.
+.Home launcher lags comparing to ginger bread ones
+.It takes 3-4 seconds for Dialer to load :/
+.Didn't had face unlock after the update.Had to flash gapps to get it
+.Keyboard's keys are kinda smaller and not that easy to type
+.All the setted contact pictures are gone from contacts and only thumbnails are left :/
So far I've found.please post the bugs you found and help to get a better ICS fw
you will get face unlock when you open google play.
it's silently updating.
no need to flash gapps.

Games are rather matter of game developers not compatible with ICS I think.
this my problem :
1. Battery drain.If i used wifi,and switch it off...battery more faster decreased,have to reboot phone for make battery back to normal...
2. Dialer slow loading... am i used phone with 600Mhz???
I wonder,why there is no power notification widget in this update...
My issues:
A little battery drain, but ROM is recently installed so I will give time to stabilize.
Wifi is buggy. Takes ten minutes connecting one meter from the router. Wpa.
Any times takes half hour... And in other routers connects instantly.
Can be night elf kernel?
Notification led doesn't work for missed calls! I searched in the phone's menu but there is no option to enable it!

In GB there was an additional option to completely disable USB action. MTP/Mass storage + "Disable usb".
Browser kept crashing and crashing.
Problems with Google Picasa Web synchronization. The albums from my picasa account just don't appear when I want to upload new files. There's a problem with facebook-google accounts synchro.
Some apps shows 'segmentation error' when trying to move them to the phone (system apps2sd). Cleaning data, uninstalling and installing back doesn't help. Link2SD or other App2SD from the market does not help - a little strange problem, probably new installation could help
Sometimes app drawer seems laggy - in comparison to GB, which had quicker response
Poor memory management - GB seemed to run more user apps at the same time quite smoothly
That is all after one day of heavy exploring by my daugther
Hmm how its possible that the ics not running smooth by all??
Mine is ok, no lag in menu and homescreen scrolling (i use the xperia s home now) no lag when i open settings etc, app2sd is working fine on ics no problems (i use app2sd pro 2.50 the newest one) no camera problems no fc's or anything else, its all f*cking amezing and fast

I don't know if this is a bug or something... but the widget for favorite contacts is missing. I kinda like that widget...
I am not experiencing the camera, gps, and wifi problems that is posted here.

When you install it as a clean install it is faster,but when u update it via pc companion or flash without flashing user data it tends to get slower.So best way to move to ICS(or any other rom in that manner) is to do a fresh clean install

This is true people. YOU HAVE TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY!
The first time I updated it, it was buggy as hell!
I then did a clean install (repair phone on pc companion) then it was smooth running since then. Memory management is amazing, no scroll lag, UI is great, multi tasking is better... I dont know about u guys but im likin it!
OT: is the UI on this is different drom nordic? It seems that they aee hating the UI but I see no fault on mine.

I did a fresh with pc companion twice a time, 1st time i had the modded music player from xperia s, and i know that was tiving me fc's so i repair my Neo V with pcc and that was the 2nd time, so you are right bro a fresh brand new install is better !!!!

Official ICS Bug Report
Using this firmware for past 3 days now,
1. A little laggy Interface than GB, but using a third party Launcher fixes it till some extend.
2. Video recording quality is not as in GB. Also is choppy.
3. Gyroscope doesnt work in Maps. Checked with Compass Application works flawlessly, not in Maps.
I might switch back to GB soon...
Its not as if im not fond of ICS... But for me, its still a bit RAW. I really like the UI, functions, etc however its a bit buggy on the 3 main tasks wich I use my phone(Wifi, camera and temple run)... Untl these can be fixed, I thnk im staying with gb first. Btw, I find ics not to be laggy on its stock state however, once u install mods fr system ui and others, it kinda lags a bit. Too bad.

Hello,
I already put this in "Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" but I think it's a dev subject.
So:
I'm trying to make a slim ROM starting from stock 207, without BE, sound enhancement, etc.
Using Elixir (Wakelock does not shows everything) I discovered that this apk uses a lot of CPU, it's the champion.
Then I tried to disable all bravia stuff in settings and also in build.prop (swiqi2.enable=false): no effect.
I also deleted /etc/be*. But this process continues to eat cpu all the time, when you watch a video or simply scrowls a list. It seems that it filters the whole video flow.
Last step: freezing SwiqiSettingsService. In this case, video playing becomes very very laggy (totaly unusable, using stock player or Mx gives the same result), BUT the phone becomes so much responsive.
If someone knows how to totaly wipe bravia/swiqi stuff from the phone (or want to investigate that) ... it will be a great improvment for those who don't care about this kind of "enhancement".
Thanks.
Some news:
Uninstalling GoogleBackupTransport.apk, you can also uninstall SwiqiSettingsService.apk with no lags in video playing (also need to disable the things in 1st post).
I have no idea for an explication ... but it works fine until now ...
This is more for the Cross-Development section

Until now I didn't see any side effect, but it can make time to discover one...
I'll post my system/app list later.
An other problem is that there are dozens of posts on xda talking about system apps safe to remove with bad informations in them.
I never found a clean list wich explains each funcionalities of each system app, and more important their dependencies between them.
You can make a test using "system app remover" for example: turn off all enhancement in settings, then remove GoogleBackupTransport and Swiqi. If you have troubles you can put them back using SystemAppRemover.
Next step for me is to evaluate if Stamina is important in the way I use my phone: basically I like to use functionalities manually. If I want to sync I enable sync, if I want to use data connection I turn it on and then off, etc...
Stamina is certainly usefull for who let the phone connected all the time, but in this case I don't know.
this is what i am looking for long time. some one clarify it more?????
@sambastrakan
you made this thread when super vivid mode from z3 was not introduced yet
I had tried freezing or uninstalling swiqisettingsservice and video playback will lag :crying: until BE libs are completely removed via android tweaker 2
but since super vivid mode is ported, freezing or uninstalling swiqisettingsservice still give me enchanted color and without lag
i've tried both in movies & mx player
btw, did you notice gaming performance & ram improvement after removing such features?

Thanks for your advice. But I'm running CM11 for a few months now: no more problem!
From what I remember I had about 480Mb free RAM with my "slim" 207 fw. But I remember too that in an other attempt (clean install then uninstalling apps) the lags were back ... So GoogleBackupTransport was not the guilty .... Actually I don't know how and why I had no lags in a previous slim rom version (without swiqi). Total mystery ! And no more mystery with CM11 from MrSteve555.
Draw lines settings.apk because not much point getting the apk and remove the lines from build.prop if there still lines the wild in their configurations.
Thank you :good:
I have an Xperia U 1 year and something I frequently crashes. We need to remove the battery still can use. Now I upgraded to 4.0.4 and everything is blocked. Somebody help me with a ROM or advice what to make them. I have many applications.
Android 5.1.1 crashes on xperia z ultra
Hey,
I am facing some problems on my z ultra(not rooted), after the 5.1.1 update.
The games crash after 2-3 minutes of gameplay although the games which i installed before the update on my phone are working well. And when i rewind or skip a part of any video, it crashes saying "video isn't responding" or mx player not responding etc. Etc.
Another problem, sometimes i am on a call with someone and the call screen is not visible, not even in the notification bar and i have to ask the other person to disconnect the call or else i need to restart my phone.
Please help me with this, it will be a great help.
And i have noticed some advantages too about the update like the battery enhancement, smooth running, better animations, less heat generation etc.
And is greenify useful for my phone?

Identify the apps that behavior erratically, for example your game or the phone or video app. Then find it under settings, apps, and clear its data. As a last resort do a factory reset and if that fails you will just need to downgrade to 5.0.2.
I have cleared the data... Still same problem
How to downgrade?

This is expected when you're upgrading without doing a full wipe of the device. I had the same issues, but with Minecraft (which still crashes, so I'm guessing it's a Minecraft issue), but wiping (doing a full factory reset) is the smart thing to do, since some bugs and stuff can be left from the previous and incredibly buggy 5.0.2.
Factory reset worked
Thanx a ton ?

Looks like I'd need to do this as well. Same issues for me. Worse is I can't even send SMS anymore...

I yesterday formated my phone now after finishing posting this post I look my phone it happening again with me, it starts to freeze and begin of endless aching
Same issue
I am having the same problem, at least once a week I need to format and reinstall the ROM.
me too... i have this odd and strange problem!!!! really annoying...
even in stock rom i have problem
Me three! After installing new roms (android 8, 9 and 10) and after a week or so it was freezing, showing system UI had crashed etc. I was thinking I had a hardware issue. I wonder if we all had installed a particular ROM or TWRP version and it caused this .
This forced me to obtain another Z2 to see if it was a software issue - so far its been okay but its been less than a week.
Just so you know, I have always clean installed, and to remedy the situation used 'fastboot erase system -w' to delete everything thinking it was down to bad ram or flash sectors.
I'll let you know how the new one does.
Update: the new Z2 is absolutely fine. The one that kept crashing still does this, but with less usage it takes a while for it to play up. I think the internal memory is bad, where a certain sector is unusable - if that can happen with these mobile flash drives. Apart from writing very big files onto the phone, does anyone know a formatting tool available for android?
Hi has there been any update on this.
I have tried formatting with TWRP but the problem persists.
