I have Sony Xperia Z (C6603, 10.7.A.0.222) and the brightness level is stuck at minimum after update to 5.1.1.
I have tried:
sensor test - light sensor is OK.
set brightness via ADB (settings put system screen_brightness 200) - didn't work.
using brightness control apps (like LUX for example) - didn't work.
factory reset - didn't work
Using stock ROM with root, any apps or functions that could set brightness to low for saving battery are either uninstalled or turned off. Any suggestions?

hmm maybe there is a problem with the partition.
Well there another way but you should try at your own RISK: Boot into recovery, go to the wipe category and select everything then wipe, now flash a stock rom from flashtool (enable USB debugging and unknown resources first)

Didn't work... acutally, when I'm turning phone on, SONY logo is at low brightness too... So, could it be hardware problem ?

yes it could be but in order to check it, you phone will lose the water protection

I'm 100% sure it's hardware problem if the logo (when you turn phone on) is at low brightness too. When i'll have spare time I will repair it.

Looks like this is by "design". I've observed the issue on other stock ROMs.
Ever since I upgraded my TL30at to at&t-provided JB (9.1.F.1.120) I've been experiencing a strange issue: in addition to my selected lock screen (pattern), I see the JB slide screen with the music player and camera options, too. Specifically: when phone is locked and asleep, I press the power button and see the slide screen for about half a second then the pattern screen appears to unlock the phone; when the screen times out and I press the power button, I see the slide unlock screen (screen and lock time outs are set to different values).
The "main" lock screen has the same background as desktop and the slide lock screen has either the default theme background or the one defined in Settings->Display->Lock Screen.
I also noticed that the option for additional privacy of the lock screen that was present in ICS - blocking the notification area opening unless the device is unlocked - is "missing". I had it enabled. It's not present in JB but the "main" (desired/secure) lock screen behaves as if it is still present and enabled while the swipe screen allows to open the notification area.
I've already tried:
- changing unlock method (the slide screen is always there unless there's no unlock and the lock screen behaves "normally" when it's set to slide);
- resetting the phone (soft and hard resets);
- disabling Nova Launcher.
The device isn't rooted or otherwise modded.
Is this normal behavior in JB or some weird glitch with my install?
sounds weird to me, try a clean install

Noob question (I've dealt only with fully unlocked & rooted devices before): how do I do it?
The install threads I've seen around here are for customs ROMs and unlocked/rooted devices. Did I miss it?

That didn't help. I got 2 lock screens "out of the box". I'll try tomorrow with ADB backup and no PC Companion backup in order to ensure that I get 100% clean JB.
The one thing that keeps on bugging me is that ICS used to have an option for additional privacy of the lock screen - blocking the notification area opening unless the device is unlocked. I had it enabled. It's not present in JB but the "main" (desired/secure) lock screen behaves as if it is still present and enabled while the swipe screen allows to open the notification area.
Re: [Q] [Help] 2 lock screens in TL on JB
Pccompanion will give you a complete pure flash of an out of the box phone as it is Sony's official tool and you download the software straight from Sony.
Have you rooted the phone or done anything else to it

Mine does that too. It has done that on every JB rom I have used. I especially notice it now with the AT&T JB. I haven't found a way to get rid of it so I just ignore it.

I used this repair function to no avail. I also did a full factory reset followed by PC Companion restore also with no luck. The phone isn't rooted. The only customization I made to it outside of standard settings was installing Nova Launcher through the Market.

I'm a very picky about my UX. The easy workaround is to set timeout and lock to the same value and make power button lock automatically, but that's not how the device was designed to work.
I have tried to no avail to reproduce this bug and no matter which lockscreen i choose in settings I only get the one lockscreen so not sure what else to suggest.
I've now rooted the phone and installed CWM to clean all cache and settings. Nothing helped, so I'm guessing the problem is somewhere in non-user settings and probably has to do with upgrading from ICS. I just wish I could erase the phone like a computer disk and perform a 100% clean install of JB.

well if you have now rooted you can do a factory reset in recovery and flash another ROM. Make sure you have a .zip for another rom on the sd card first.
Try my stock based custom ROM and see if the problem persists.
PS, if you repair your phone using PCCompanion then that is a 100% clean install from Sony.
Re: [Q] [Help] 2 lock screens in TL on JB
If you're rooted now, uninstall Sony lockscreen, if you don't plan to use it. Pattern lock is AOSP.

1. Reset the phone (See the url in my sig for more info)
2. Wait for Sony to push an update that fixes this
3. Use a third party app (Didn't work for me, only a reset fixed the problem for me.)
Turn off stamina mode.

In my topic, I state that you shouldn't make use of any back-up, else the factory reset won't work.
If a factory reset is helping, then I would assume there's a system app somewhere that just needs to have it's data cleared. If we could find this system app, then we could simply clear it's data and avoid having to go through the entire factory resetting process.
Perhaps the automatic restore option from the Google account loads this app with incompatible data and the LED stops functioning.
without stamia mode activated works just fine.the problem is i can't find the exact app i need to enable/add in stamina mode.

There is no app.
It doesn't work at all in stamina mode even if you white list every app that's in the list.
Sony will fix it with an update (At least that's the rumor)
Today I am facing two problems the first is the usually one with is the led notification and the second one is the stamina mode calculation

People say that when you wipe your cache the Stamina time should be back to normal for a while, after that you will need to wipe the cache again. Try that.
please state your xperia z form (Germany - uk - canada ) and it firmware release

I installed a deodexed rom today and the Stamina mode shows the correct time, I think it has to do with the cache.
stamina mode can be fixed by cleaning the cache and reboot. it worked for me

Hi my friends.
Today was very bad day for me. First my bird died, then my phone stops working and i stuck in elevator. I need your help. Afternoon i want to call my buddy for lunch. Everything starts after lockscreen. When i call him phone wont connect to operator then it says no connection and stuck at dialer. I push power button to get lockscreen and it frozen for while then it locks and i opened lockscreen. When i saw launcher phone resets and every time it resets at SONY logo. I flashed my device 3 times or more. I used .233 . 230 and 4.3 . Every time battery shows wrong percentage. Phone opens when i plugged to charge. But if it has sim card it resets. When i disconnect from charger it resets. I try to open USB DEBUGING for install recovery to reset battery info but when i check USB debuging it resets again. You guys have any idea for that problem.
Did you try clean installation?

Try pushing your simcard back in place, sometimes it'll get out of place, and then you're phone won't connect to network and reboot every time it thinks simcard is removed

Looks like the is some issue with Sim assembly or can be a software/hardware issue.
As all methods have not worked take the phone to a service center and get it diagnosed
ive got the reboot problem too,
try to use philz touch, go to mount and storage, mount system, factory reset,
go back to mount, mount system, flash rom
keep stamina mode off, so far that has kept my rom stable ( tried to turn stamina mode on and caused a reboot after an hour or so)
im not sure if this a final solution, but its what i am trying
Yesterday i got my device from service. They change full body. I didnt understand what problem couses it. Now everything works fine.
Hi
I have xperia z1, latest version and rooted.
Sometimes in standby mode the backlight wont turn off completely and then at the same time the "adapt to lightning condition" and rotation doesn't work and I have to reboot my phone.
This happen's at least twice a day.
What should I do?

No idea.Do you install some specific tweaking apps on every flash?If you do, maybe that is the problem.Does it have the same problems on custom rom?
