Android 4.4.2 KitKat - Bugs - VPN problem/lockscreen options not working/Walkman Shake not working

With the new KitKat update (20.1.A.0.47) trying to open VPN from Settings, the Settings app crashes and restarts. Due to that, in Security, the None and Swipe lockscreen options are disabled, leaving PIN, Password, and Pattern the only options. Why is that / is it ever gonna be fixed? 
Oh and it didn't happen on 4.3...

Now, when a music is playing in Walkman, when pressing the Walkman button and shaking the phone as I did on JB will pause the song, as if I didn't shake the phone. On Jelly Bean, this feature worked. This should get fixed too.

Haha, of course, I have already written and advised me: 

Developers will now work half a year.

What the new update has done is it has solved only the hanging problems which i think is very important keeping all the other things aside

The issues you just mentioned are applicable for everybody hope Sony gives us another update to fix them. Sony has not said anything what they are going to do for it.

Hi guys, sony seems to have solved the problem in an update in...india. I only found that and not tested yet :

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/05/22/small-update-rolling-for-xperia-e1-20-1-a-2-19-and-e1-dual-20-1...

It solves the lockscreen and VPN problem. Test and say if it works or not. I hope they will relase an european version soon.

I've tested it, it works !!

If you want to conserve your datas, unselect "DATA" case when flashing with fastboot
