Hi,
I am trying to find a solution for a problem with the Xperia T camera, I tried looking through the forum but couldn't find what I had exactly.
When the camera app starts if you do nothing and just look around with it, it will just shut down suddenly, sometimes after only 5 - 10 seconds. The amount of time varies but is normally very quickly, and it is becoming very annoying with the app vanishing just as you are about to take a photo. There is no black screen, freezing, slow down during or after and no problem starting it straight back up.
It was on T_9.1.A.0.489 (Three) and I tried repairing it. The problem is still there after flashing 9.1.A.1.140 today.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

How are you starting the camera app? via the camera button or via the app icon in the app drawer?

It happens after starting it from the lockscreen and from the camera button. I can't be sure about the app icon, I haven't really checked. It is my gf new phone, but I was using the camera recently when I needed to take some pictures and video at uni so I was the one who noticed it and she had pretty much not used the camera yet. She always gives anything that needs fixing to me, so that is why I am now looking.
I can try from the app icon later, don't have the phone with me just now.
Edit: Apparently it does not happen when launched from the icon, is this a feature then I take it?
I did actually wait and try it with my Xperia Z I got on Wednesday before posting here, in what was now a failed attempt at not looking stupid, and thought the Z was free of it but I have gone back and checked and it is happening but with a longer time before closing (Xperia T normally around 15 seconds although has been shorter, Xperia Z is around 30 seconds so I did not notice at first - and both are fine from the icon).
Is there any way to stop it, I would like to launch the camera conveniently without it timing out on me so fast (and the same for my gf who has an actual button like my last phone the Arc that did not do this).

Point two is not a bug. In my customization "N" mark was not present on previous android versions too.
I can also confirm point 13 which is real pain in the ass.
Ive noticed that camera flickers in low light conditions which is also present on recorded video but pictures have less noise in my opinion.

I also encountered all except 9 and 12 hope they will fix this soon
Hi,
I have a TX with update 4.3 (the USA firmware that was posted here at XDA), and about the 100% charge reboot problem, it only occured to me after rooting the phone (First fastboot kernel with CWM, then install SU and after restorting the kernel from the 4.3 ROM).
When I flash again 4.3 (wipping everything) and staying like that (no root) I don't have the 100% charge reboot problem.
So I think that the 100% charge reboot problem is related to the root process.

Can't be. I haven't rooted just installed the generic CE and left my phone on overnight and this morning was up late as a consequence.
See my post on Sony Support http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-T-TX/Xperia-T-also-got-charging-bug-4-3/td-p/562469
I am starting to really lose my patience with this company now.

About 13 - phone turns off after charged to 100%.
I haven't yet experienced it.. Are there people who doesn't have that issue? Maybe it's related to previous bootloader unlocking/flashing kernels/mods/doing some risky stuff without any practical knowledge about it?
In other words - if you have that issue please report - have you flashed custom kernels in the past/done some major modifications ? Maybe you have phone from second hand and previous owner put there not original battery? Let's gather all the info we can.
4.3 bugs
NO NFC ICON WHEN ON-BUT WORKS
NO ICON WHEN PLUG EARPHONES-BUT WORKS
100% CHARGES..REBOOT-experience 2 times,phone not rooted,flash USA region firmware,
BLACK BOX VOLUME-SOLUTION-APPLY ANOTHER THEME AND RESTART PHONE.
4 main bugs seen from now
PS:which region firmware are you using plz?
Point 3: the volume bar is black because you used theme that dowloaded from play store. Just apply stock theme and reboot, the volume bar will show correctly

No NFC icon or earphone icon is not a bug.Android system itself removed them in 4.3(or the system doesn't show them at all - Sony adds it). CM10.2 and CM11 don't show the icons either.
The earphone icon in 4.1 is shown by an Sony-made app,not the Android system.
Hello everybody (Xperia Z1 Owners with Official KitKat 4.4.2)
I recently bought Xperia Z1 and updated it to 4.4.2, but after updating I'm having some issues.
1. When exiting any app, phone should go to home screen, for example I opened the Camera with the dedicated button and used it and pressed back button. As soon as I pressed Back button, the Settings comes up, sometimes dailer, sometimes some other app. Also it just not for Camera it happens mostly for any app I use.
2. When I get call, as I lift the call by dragging the green button the calls automatically starts with loudspeaker sometimes.
3. Battery drains faster sometimes.. like it was 95% and after few minutes it goes 92% (I was not using the phone at that time, it was idle)
4. Unlock animation, most the times while swiping I get smaller bubbles.
Any body having same issues, or any of the above.

1. I have the same problem as well, for me the app just comes up and then quickly closes again though.
2. I don't call too often, but I think I've had this problem once, I also could've accidentally turned it on with my cheek though.
3. Not a clue, could be a personal thing.
4. No idea what you mean but doesn't seem to be a major problem.
I have the same issues....bad....let's waiting the 4.4.3

About the Unlock Animation, it works different when you set the live wallpaper theme and different if you use the static wallpaper theme.

1. That happens sometimes with the KK update, the best way to fix that is simply do a factory reset of your phone in the settings
2. Known problem start with Factory Reset, if this not help repair via PC Companion
3. Known problem too, KK update make battery calibration that drain battery, that's back to normal after one or 2 days if not then it's because the SDCard access has be removed from 3rd app with KK that cause battery drain and overheating (i have this one with a 64Gb SDCard :crying: ) to be sure remove your SDCARD and test if there is no battery drain anymore then join us to the SDCard Crying Group and wait that Sony Fix that...
4.That's what you have by default you can change it in settings.

Its not a problem it has been done on purpose.
Sony will not fix it because its implemented by google to fix security issues. All companies running Android are bound by contracts to use this feature. It actually makes you phone more secure.

No i wasn't talking about that, many people haven't the battery drain/overheat problem but with some certains SDCARD/Capacity that cause that, let me explain : if i use my 64GB class 10 SDCard with KK that cause huge battery drain and overheating and ONLY with KK, not a single problem if i reflash the phone to JB 4.3 and i've tested all that is possible to do, format, reset etc... nothing works with KK :crying:

It stops third party apps reading anything you keep on your SDcard, like passwords, bank details and other sensitive information you may keep there. For example, I use online banking on my phone and I have sensitive information like that on my SDcard, now no other app can read it.

Yes, its on KK because KK stops third party apps reading the SDcard, so some KK un-optimised apps keep trying to read it but cant, causing overheat and battery drain

Sadly i have no idea what apps cause that it's too hard to find the way because even with no app and the official stock rom i still have the battery drain overheating problem, the only solution for the moment is to remove my lovely cuttie 64Gb class 10 SDCard
If you are rooted and can change the permissions to remove this access.
Look in the general section, you just add one line to a permissions file. There is also an app in the play store that does it for you automatically

But I can keep them on Internal (as the Internal is also a SDcard, External SDcard1, and they do the same job) so to me do not make sense.

Hello guys so I got my new phone today it was a replacement for my old Xperia Z (same model) and it was working fine the whole day until my phone battery was low so i got home and decided to charge it. Everytime I put my charger in it automatically plays an Xperia Z advert that you would usually see on displays in the store and this causes my settings and homescreen to reboot. Can someone please help me ?
