Buglist for .205 FW update

[christiano88]

Hello,

After testing .205 since it appeared, I concluded a list of bugs (some from other users) that still need to be ironed out, either through a 4.4 build or an updated 4.3 build.

Here it is:

1. Phone freezes randomly for a few seconds (happens rarely, twice a week), screen dims and colors get overly saturated. After 2 seconds it goes back to normal. Haven't seen any pattern in this, might be when the phone memory is almost full (must test).

2. Battery drain: Wakelock Detector and BetterBattery Stats do not show any drain, so it must be something kernel-related (heard that using GSM only mode will stop the drain, so it might be a radio issue).

3. Install/Uninstall bar bug present since first build of 4.3 (.266), the bar is over the writing.

4. Viber not working properly

5. Memory management still problematic, the leaks were mostly fixed, but RAM usage is still high even at boot.

6. Camera has focusing issues in some cases (especially under LED flash)

7. Sometimes when in low signal area it switches network to 2G and doesn't go back to 3G. You need to mess with the Network settings and restart the phone to make it switch back to 3G.

8. During app install, the phone freezes a bit, might be due to low speed internal storage, if so, it can't be fixed.

9. Some reports of overheating but this is normal in my opinion, it has a very powerful and power hungry GPU, to me it seems that it heats a bit less than with previous FWs

Please add any other issues you've encountered, maybe we can get Sony to release a bugfix update to 4.3 or directly release 4.4 without these issues.

White balance settings reset after restart?

for me its:

*Overheating when using certain apps, no other phone I know does this so why should it be normal/expected? My mates SG S4 Mini doesnt do it.....

*Proximity sensor is still a bit slow when you move the phone away from your face takes about 2 seconds

Fix these issues and i belive u have a near perfect FW release

How concrete is the battery drain? I mean, in which circumstances does it appear to be that the battery is draining fast? And how fast? 

And is it correct that charging time is significantly shorter when you have 205?

Thanks!

(still awaiting 205 update in Belgium, non-branded C5303)

pffff i prefer staying with my super fast 4.1.2 downgrade SP.... still the new .205 doesnt compete with the 4.1.2 version.

I will only think the possibility to upgrade if the 4.4 kitkat version will launch in July .... Cannot risk another 4.3 FAILURE. SONY you made a powerfull smartphone and you literally threw it to the garbage with this 4.3 firmware - comedy of yours.

lightning fast : yes

faster charging : no (more than 2 hrs to 100%)

stamina mode : with or without ,i have the same amount of drain. with on ,phone last ~10 hours longer. (with 4.1.2 i had almost 2 weeks uptime !!!)

auto-brightness : as it did not exist !

few days ago i rooted my phone ,installed a pure ,clean ,bloatware-free 4.3 based custom rom( ok ,it was .201) but still i had drain.

.205 drains too.

i think im going to a 4.1.2 based custom rom ,until KK arrives.

4. The Camera. My Photo is not clear, compare it with XP
