Lock screen widgets flickering and more...

Hi, I'm on 532 and I use pattern on lock screen. As it's 4.2 update you have number of widgets on lock screen, in my case they flickering even I don't touch them, if touched and swiped they goes back to the main widget which is clock. I've played with locking methods turning off pattern get slide instead didn't helped. Repair via sus won't do anything as I've already done it to get rid of different issue (asking for language select on every boot,this issue wasn't solved by doing repair via sus) so I'm having both of issues and a third one (there were reports here) I can hear my voice and environment noise when calling on handset, I'm using official headset which came with my phone .. Anyone experiencing same issues ?

I've managed to find workaround for 2 issues. I've disabled "setup guide" process in app manager and rebooted device, lock screen widgets are not flickering anymore and I'm able to swipe them, language is not asked any longer.

Well, lock screen widgets are still flickering after some time of use, probably some background processes affect the way it should work. Clearly a software/firmware issue

Heh, got it now! Basically that's every single app which runs active in background in my case it's Walkman player, TuneIn or Soundtracker. I've checked Skype looks like it doesn't affect widgets functionality. Hope that Sony engineers are aware
