[Q] Xperia V - SOD, software or hardware?

Hi,
do we know if the SOD problems are software or hardware related? ( Was gonna link to the SOD thread at Sony, but cant because of few posts. But google "Xperia V random freeze in standby" and your there..)
I am about to send my phone in for service, but since this will propably take a couple of weeks im hoping a software fix would be released.

should be software problem.
if u were to flash a custom rom, the number of SOD is very little, or dont have.

Anyone that can confirm that SOD problems disappeared on custom rom?
And if so, which rom?

I set the minimal CPU speed to 486 MHz and it helps.

So you had SOD, set min cpu and it helped?
Which firmware version?
How frequent was the SOD?
How long without?

I use the latest JB rom. I got 1~2 SoD per day before minimal CPU setting change. Now it stands well for more than two days without SoD. The Wifi is on. Maybe my good luck but worth trying.

with Wifi off and stock ROM, I'm now on 9 days without SoD.
Though my old Ion on the older ROM has never rebooted even once...

Wifi of is not an option. Like a sportscar without an engine, but nice to get solid indications that WiFi actual is the problem. Seems like it would be fixable by software then, if only Sony care to take action.

Hmmm... a SoD again. :crying:

From my experience using Xperia V Stock ROM Singapore FTF Jelly Bean for 3 weeks, I must say that it is the best ROM I ever used for my Xperia V. Better than my stock ROM Malaysia ICS version. Give it a try and feel it.

Did you have SOD issues on the Malaysia ICS?
If so, how frequent?
And what more what excatly do you mean with best rom?
No SOD? Less SOD?

I don't have any problem regarding SOD with my Malaysia stock ROM ICS. But battery drains really fast and really hot even I do not use it (standby mode). Solution: Flash Singapore Stock ROM JB and walla

This thread is about the SOD( "Sleep of Death") problems that some users have experienced on their Xperia V.
With the purpose of figuring out if this is a hardware( need to get phone replaced) or software( can be fixed by update).
So if you never had any issues with the SOD on your phone, on either ICS or JB, the information about which rom you think is the best do not help with the question asked in this thread. Please read before posting...

I just give my opinion. If this method helped other users fixing their SOD, who knows. I suggested to my friend that have SOD problem (Stock ICS Malaysia) to flash his Xperia V with Stock ROM Singapore, and he has no problem with SOD until now (a week of usage).
Just give it a try.

Have you tried a factory reset? When I had this issue on my Xperia TL, (before I rooted it and installed XperimenT) I uninstalled a ton of apps and disabled the ATT apps. It was doing the SOD every night. I would go through any recent apps you've installed and delete/disable them. If that doesn't work do a factory reset and _slowly_ reinstall apps. I think this is a case where something is interfering with Sony's stock firmware.

for those still having SOD, maybe u can try this. not sure it helps or not. because before i install jellybean, i review the code in build.prop first. so that is why it didnt happen on me for 2 weeks. well, i test it out yesterday.
use either ES file explorer or Root explorer, go to system -> build.prop.
find this line dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m, put a # in front of it to disable this code.
it could be because there is another similar code, thus conflict. u can find another similar line at the bottom of build.prop.
hope it helps!

How much time you get after 100% battery? If phone is idle most of the time - Android System will use more %.

How to do you know that there is no app in backgroud? You do not use any chat app? You use stock 4.1.2? Did you do factory reset after going from 2.3?

When I remove device from charger after Fully charge it shows to me 98% and after two or three minutes show 96% .. etc ...

JB with stock kernel eats battery very fast.

[Q] Help! Switching from KITKAT back to Jellybean SONY XPERIA Z

I have a Sony Xperia Z & I want to switch from KitKat to JellyBean.
I did the update this afternoon and my battery drained instantly.
My phone has been plugged into the wall for aroud 2.5 hours and it's only at 27% and its not going down and it's still plugged in....
it's driving me insane...i dont have time to wait a week for it to "catch up"
How can I switch back to Jellybean from KitKat?

Firstly, you should post it in Q&A section.
As for your problem, try a factory reset or repair software from Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service.
If you want to go back to 4.3, download any 4.3 FTF posted in the general section via flashtool.

NO! Keep 4.4!
Just shut the phone down and reboot again then plug it in again to wallmount. Of course it drains until it stabilizes! Just check battery info what drains it and wait for a few days before switching back.
Must be one of the weirdest reasons to switch back to lower version after 1 afternoon...

Just download the FTF file, put this FTF file in the firmware folder where you installed flashtool (typically C drive)
Then launch flashtool application, select flashmode choose the FTF and flash it. Done.

Did you try with a different charger? Ot might be a charger/cable problem, not a problem with the phone.

Probably Google Services battery drain, I have been experiencing this for a few days now. Not connected to kitkat or the Xperia Z. Phone also took forever to charge, I rebooted and it seems fine for now

i dont think is related to 442, a week ago google services started to drain my xperia s 412 battery for 22h, this happened 2years ago also, google is doing something...bad..

My battery died quick the first time and the performance was very laggy. After rebooting and recharging everything is good.

Sony's 4.3 has always had lag when installing apps.
No way to fix it that I know of. Its a lot better in 4.4 custom roms though still occasionally get a lag when installing from play store but doesnt freeze the whole phone.

Same version number but thats all, Sony messed up 4.3 badly hence why we had so many versions of it (including their internal test versions).

Can someone help?

One of my attempts to solve, was to install a custom kernel.
It did not solve everything, but it helped.

Hi.
Installing custom kernel will not solved everything.
U should install Better Battery Stats to find out misbehaving apps which may have drain yr battery.
Cheers..
