done that already. not working.. what version is the camera app? i have 1.0.0 seems like i have a bunch of strange issues with this phone huh greg? lol

I don't know if its just your carpet but it looks smudged where the icon should be, have you tried pressing the screen there anyway?
In between the 3 dots and the flash icon..
If you are not rooted and on complete stock FW (i.e straight from the shop) I would consider taking it back, if you have flashed any FTF files, try flashing again.

You have to turn it on in Settings -> Language and keyboard. I have that keyboard installed and it works for me.

I tried to select it in the options as well i tried every options combination I could find but nothing helps... When i try to open the options of the spell checker this is what i see
I have an Xperia S with an official JB
..
Ok so i confirm after installing Google Keyboard and Uninstalling the original Xperia keyboard, then restarting, the option to use google as a spellchecking service, appeared in the Spell Checker settings and now it works great,with the red line.

but after writing kernel(elf file)on my lt25i,it couldn't be in CWM mode.
and I wrote Doomkernel and official ftf files.
but MY lt25i's dispray is still blurred and whitish
and i found that My xperia is lt25i but PC connected it as lt25.
What should i do to mydevice?
Was it blurred and white-ish from the beginning? Or did it happen later on?

Try to flash an original .ftf file via flashtool and wipe everything.
wew ,its happen with my xperia V 1 year ago .whitish and blurish like this
I try to flash stock firmware, wipe data n bla bla bla , but still same
I got my phone like that because I try to flashing kernel+recovery many times ( three times maybe , I forgot it )
After that ,I sold my V
pal. i think u've made the wrong choice
did u unlock your bootloader
if not, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699117
I think I have the same issue. It is mentioned in this other thread here at the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707785
This other user is working on a possible fix. Perhaps we should merge the two threads?
I have exactly the same problem!
Followed various instructions for getting root on 4.3. I do not know where did I made mistakes, but the process was not successful. Rooted ROM gave black screen. Then I flashed the default 4.3 and screen turned white like this.
After that I managed to update to AOKP nightly, wiped everything, but screen stayed the same.
I think the problem happens during fastboot mode (when blue LED is lit). Copying various kernels I can make my screen black or return to white like this, but not normal.

Im working on this already.

[Q]Display gets darker at load

Hey guys.
So I recently (few days ago) bought my Xperia SP (5302) EU-Global Version. I've updated it to the last 12.1.A.1.207 stock build and I wanted to root I but I noticed something strange that happen 2-3 times and I wanna ask if it's something common for the model or should I return it for a repair before I root the phone.
So basically what's happening is, when the phone is under load in very rear cases (3 times in 7-8 days) the screen will start dimming but not like when you power it off. It will start getting darker, the app icons will get almost black and after it finishes loading the task everything returns it's original color again. It basically shifts it's color tone to some really dark tone, like when you're adding some effect to a picture. Sorry, English is not my native language so I can't explain it better but if you have experienced it you, would'll know what I'm talking about.
So basically this is the question: Is this something common for the Xperia SP and I can safely root the phone, or it's just my phone and I must send it for a repair/replacement.
Thanks in advance!
You could try to reset it with Flashtool. It seems like a hardware issue but the reflash it to rule software out..

Thanks alot!
Another question.
When I bought my phone it boot up in Chinese or Japanese (not really sure) and then it had alot of apps with Japanese or Chinese characters that I disabled and I'm not really sure if that's the Global version of the software. So if I reinstall the stock ROM and I have to return it for a repair they may notice that the ROM is not the same as the one that was shipped with. Do you guys have the same apps on the Global version?
Here are the apps

}
Then you have to use Flashtool (see my thread in General) to flash a ftf file that does not come with that bloatware

it's not a hardware issue...it's a common bug on .205, .207

Album app is not working properly

I can't access settings menu, i tried reinstall (uninstall updates and install them again )but it didn't help, i am using stock rom non rooted, it is official album app updated via update center. This is what i get:

Have you try to clear its cache?
Yupe , i tried, nothing, it didn't help. Today i switched to CM11 but i don't like it very much, i will probably switch back to stock and see if problem still persist.
btw a bunch of apps is not working properly or not working at all in my country, even paid apps on play store are not available it is horrible, could it be same thing with album app?

If you are switching back to Stock ROM then flash stock .207 ftf file..It will be better option and there is no problem in generic .207 ftf file.I am already using it.
here is the link for thread:

Why is it better option? Is there any changelog? On support page it says 12.1.A.1.205 is the latest and final version.
