[Q] Back to Andriod 4.1 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Xperia Z came with Andriod 4.1.2 If i remember it correctly, this version worked really good. I recently upgraded it to Android 4.2.2 and now its laggy, slow and has alot of bugs.. The camera got black spots which according to some posts are software related - I don't see how that is possible but ok.
So my question is: If I factory reset the phone from the menu, do I get andriod 4.1 back?

Nope, i have the 4.2.2 stock rom without any slow or any bug like most of users here. The camera has no problem as well. I don't see as well how it's possible especially when you don't talk about any bugs you have...

Slow = depends completely of what applications you have installed, the default stock rom => no lag here so maybe something haven't worked correctly during your update
Camera bug => it's answered on your thread, the black stuff seems to be the dust inside the camera lens, return your phone for repairing. http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/489865#489865

Dedenitley a software bug (for me)
A photo taken in portrait gives me 1 dot,but a photo taken in landscape gives me none!! Wtf :what:

I noticed that Mirror App is really only on Android Revolution. I tested mine on other roms using the camera app and just reversing it.

Weird that it doesn't work for that rom.. Unfortunately I haven't tested that rom myself yet. I would assume that the backlights have issues because it's sense 3.0 (but don't take my word for that, I'm not 100% sure) Roms like VirtuousUnity have a fix you can flash to help with the issue... maybe flashing that may help? I can't guarantee that'll help.. I doubt it'd even work lol (I also don't use the incredible anymore but to my knowledge.. I'm pretty sure you have to wait until HTC releases updates for incredible S to have everything working!)

[Q] Android 4.3 bugs? HTC One M7 [SOLVED]

Hey,
I'm new here and don't completely know how it works here, so if this thread is in the wrong location, sorry.
I've update my HTC One to stock android 4.3 and sense 5.5 (software 3.62.401.0).
I noticed that when i open messages and i want to click on the three dots/+, in the upper right corner it won't open it.
It flashes blue really fast when i tap it, but it won't open, this also happends when I'm browsing through my photo's and want to share them.
Although I can share them when I open up whatsapp or gmail and the go in the gallery.
I hope someone can tell me if this is a bug or...?
I haven't had this problem with android 4.2
I hope my English is clear enough, it's hard to explain this problem when english is not your native language.

Enable "Animations" in SETTINGS -> DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> ADVANCED. That should get it working.

Thanks for the quick reply!
It's really weird, because sometimes it did work without animations.
I tried it already around twenty times with animations on and it keeps working! :victory:
Will there be a fix that it works without animations? I really hate them, it makes everything feel slow!

Probably somewhere/sometime some dev is gonna find a fix (oh maybe even HTC ), for now we'll have to live with it. It "was introduced" with the 4.3 update, 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 worked just fine.
Hit the thanks button if I helped and if the issue is resolved, please add [SOLVED] to the main thread title. thanks.

[Q] Big Camera problem - Xperia V

Hi!
Camera in my Xperia V does not work properly. It can take pictures only in sunny day, in the dark does not turn on. I tested all the official systems (including 4.0.4 4.1.2 4.3) and CM11, everywhere the same bug. In the pictures , where a very strong light, purple stripes are visible (see the Attached Thumbnails). I thought it was hardware damaged, so I bought the camera, but unfortunately nothing changed
So anybody has idea what is wrong?

Try turning off NFC. Btw: are you using the stock camera app?

Nfc off does nothing.
In screenshot I'm using "A better camera" from google play, but now I'm using stock system with stock camera app.

Unfortunately no.
Interesting is the fact, torch turns on using flashlight applications from google play, but each of them get freezy and FC after 1-2 min. When I turn on the default application for torch in custom ROM (like Carbon, Lovins) everything is ok.

Try flashing stock 4.1.2 firmware using flashtool and do a complete wipe during the install (tick all three boxes on the right side: data, cache and something which I don't remember the name of). You might've messed something up when flashing custom roms and flashing back the stock one should fix it. Also check if your camera lens is scratched/cracked. If none of that helps. I'm afraid it's a hardware fault then. :/
Btw: I remember people talking about the camera bug which you have in 1st picture in some 4.3 rom (not the latest one). But it's the first time I've seen a bug like you have in 2nd picture.
Camera lens look perfect on both camera modules. I am surprised that after the exchange of the camera is the same problem.
I'll try flash tomorrow or later (you know, New Year) and and I'll answer.
Thanks for your support and Happy New Year :highfive:

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped
Flashing to stock 4.1.2 via flashtool nothing has changed. In a small service near me, they said that the fault of the driver on the motherboard, and there's nothing they will do.
I'm sad, because photos in the sun and underwater is doing great.
 @finac94 Thanks for trying me solve this problem

Snapchat problem?

Hello guys. I installed the new official ROM, and Snapchat looks distorted.
There is no nav bar but Snap seems like it has one, but is painted black. I can provide screenshots if you do not understand what I mean.
Is there any way to fix it, or I should go back to the old roms?

did u fix your issue ?
I have the same case - more that 10 firmwares used to test my camera 5.1 till 6.0, no matter, Stable,DEV and other= black screen.
After reboot camera looks like works, but till anattempt to make picture, camera going to stuck, with message - no response from app camera...any kind of app.
I bought new camera module, and change it = no result.
Looks like camera module works well, but some kind of issue with buffer in K3 note. It can't save picture in the memory.
actually tried to luch some kind of debug mode on K3 note.

Just checked and no problem, the stock camera app opens and is ready in less than a second. The current rom I have on my (originally) at&t model is the korean open 409N also.
Maybe check the lg sites for a newer (or even older) version of the camera app? If it's not the app, and everything is pretty much stock, it may unfortunately be a hardware issue...

I think you've misunderstood. I'm not suggesting you change the firmware (I have the exact same firmware you do (well I have 30d and u have 30e - a security update), and no problem with camera app).
I was suggesting you try a different version of the CAMERA APP. LG makes changes to the camera app and makes the *.apk available to download, you'll have to search for LG camera app to find it.
It does seem very unusual you'd be experiencing such a lag when opening the camera app though. You'd almost have to bet that something else you've installed (not stock) that is causing the delay.

Well, in the interest of helping you narrow it down, I can tell you I just used lgup to install the latest korean open kdz (the one you're on, 30e). My camera app opens as it always has with other roms, in less than a second.
so, anyway, I think you can rule out it being anything to do with the specific rom...

thank you currently downgraded to pie but seems the problem exist. It's a camera hardware fault.
I had a verizon V40 and the camera went to crap with the A10 upgrade. Viewfinder was laggy, very similar to what you describe. Also, I think it was telephoto that would show parallel lines across any bright \ white objects. This was a stock rom, stock cam app, and the problem continued after multiple factory resets. Found it hard to believe it was a hardware issue, as it happened immediately after the A10 upgrade. I second year promised the phone...while I did get a brand new phone, it was the US unlocked version. So, as you know, that means no advanced calling (video) within the verizon dialer app and no vvmail.
Found that this GCam mod works. Install the app, then copy the XML (you have to remove the ".txt" at the end, xda wont let me upload it otherwise) to "/internal storage/GCam/Configs/" (make the folders) and then open the app, double-tap the black space to the right of the shutter button, then choose "restore". The app should then work perfectly, with all the cameras available, and no lag in the viewfinder.
hello the problem is solved by replacing the camera. its a hardware fault
