33.3.A.1.115 - Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion

Still android 7.0 but with security update 6 November

thanks for keeping track

Does it fix font size bug? (The small font size doesn't survive restart on previous FW version... The font looks bigger after reboot although there is small font set in settings - you have to change the font to normal and than to small to get small font again)

Why this update is only deployed on f3111?

after update, XA keeps crashing
I do not know if anyone else has the same problem, but after this last update 33.3.A.1.115, my XA keeps crashing, battery drains a lot faster than usual, and the RAM is alawys at its max.
Any suggestion?
thanks

From my experience with sony, it's best to stay with the android version (latest) that the phone came with. Probably it's the most tested and probably they do not bother to test much the updated one (lots of bugs)...

Android Lollipop 5.0.2 Bugs / Troubles / Grievances / Features

So Official Rollout Start Hope Eeveryone is now on Lollipop 5.0.2 :highfive:​
It's a Request Guys Please Post Bugs Here.​​
Some Common Bugs List/New Features/More:
1.Swipe down from status bar
Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...
2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)
Click on home button
Enjoy microstutters...
3. Go to settings
Click on any title..
The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...
4. One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.
One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..
5. wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..
6. net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device.
7. When I put adaptive brightness at its lowest then screen start flickering.
8. Lag in dialer specially while seeing recent call logs/call history.
9. Animation & UI Lag

Is dialler lag still here on final lollipop for xt1033 users? http://youtu.be/cZfSrRihrUk
You copied and pasted this from @doctor_droid's post, with no credit to him.
Battery Drain fast and UI is laggy.
Apart from the ones listed, the widget bug is a problem of the google app update and not the whole system update.
The guest mode lags a lot.
Under data usage stats, 2010 and other system apps come up without names.
Smooth but a little slow.
I'm facing these bugs on my XT1033 :
1. When I put adaptive brightness at its lowest then screen start flickering.
2. Lag in dialer specially while seeing recent call logs/call history.
3. Some common bugs which every lollipop user is facing like even after clearing recent apps some random apps start appearing there e. g. android system
but I'm not facing any bug as mentioned above expect power toggles on secure lock screen and that 6th bug.
Now if I talk about Improvements then
1st : Improved battery life, about 1 hour of extra screen on time earlier on kitkat 4.4.4 I was getting 3 Hours and 30 minutes of screen on time with full 24 h (screen on time+stand by time) of usage.
2nd : improved ram management about 400+ mb of ram are always free earlier on kitkat 4.4.4 it was 200-300 mb.
3rd: UI is now more fluid and smooth it's faster than ever and even more improved multitasking.
I updated my phone manually.
Thanks
and one more thing my English is not that good so you may find some bugs there too
After update there is a notification which says update google play services but when i try to update it on playstore it says no update.what to do?

All these bugs you mentioned are not present in my phone and 3 other Moto G that was updated to Lollipop recently.
Wi-Fi usage is not even showing up on the battery list and its always on. There is no such Wi-Fi battery drain here on 4 Moto G devices.
E and H icons are always visible in the status bar. It seems a very limited random bug on few devices.
---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------
People cried for Lollipop since Motorola announced it for Moto G and now they are crying for potential bugs. Priceless!!!​
i have issue with battery doctore widget in 5.0.2. previous versions works fine with this widget. when i turn on data it is not actually turned data connection for mobile networks. Every time i have to go data usuage and turn on data connection.
How many of you factory reset and wiped cache after the update? If you haven't done it try it. Then post bugs.....

Oh, this. I thought nobody else noticed the animation stuttering (also happening in the GPE).
Lollipop animations are cool, but not when they lag/stutter.
I hope there's a solution for this.

animations are lagging sometimes in 4.4.4 too. I think it's just the device cpu is a bit slow.
battery
charging takes more time than normal.
animations are snappy in cm12 but not in stock lollipop.
screen on times have increased but...standby has decreased....
guys, if you are having problems using wireless hotspot on moto G,
1.Use it without a password
2. Get it to connect with PC
3. after it connects, try it out (should work)
4. Disconnect
5. create password for the hotspot - IMPORTANT - The password must be at least 10 characters and must be a combination of letters and numbers
6. try it out.
When I created the hotspot using passwords that did not have letters and numbers, it wouldn't connect.
try it out and give out responses because I heard some people could not use wireless hotspot.
one of the requirements for WPA S2 password is the letter and number combo.
------------------
I flashed the flashable stock 5.0.2 rom and have been getting awesome battery life and performance. Maybe its because the bloat's gone.
You guys should try it out
I found bug..
when I try to activated battery saving, the color of status bar and navigation bar, become orange .. although I set it when it reach 15% left , while my battery still 80% left

Any reviews for Stock Firmware 32.2.A.0.305

Hi
Just wondering how those running Stock Firmware 32.2.A.0.305 have found the phone to be working?
Any issues or improvements with:
- battery life
- overheating
- phone/wifi signal
- fingerprint sensor
- camera photo quality
- Bluetooth music jitter
Or anything else?
Thanks
R
I'm running Heptyle's kernel, .305 Custom DE and debloated with script.
I haven't reached conclusions yet but so far I think my battery life is better than .253
During app installation (clean installation) I got the feeling it ran less hot.
No further differences until now regarding to your other items.
I'm only going to run STOCK I'm not going to root the phone.
Nothing special here.
Volume for notifications got fixed. And security level is aug 2016 (shame on Sony)
The option to enable the google now pane in the Xperia Launcher (beta?) is back. Note that I did join that Google+ group for getting beta updates of the Launcher.
Camera format settings were reset for me after the upgrade. The version of the app is now 1.0.C.2.7 but I didn't check before the upgrade what it was.
So far it's been smooth, but nothing notably new.
Feels just about the same in all regards
I'm running 32.2.A.0.224 and heard bad things about .253 so have not updated.
I upgraded to the latest one (.305) from EE (UK) on Thursday, and accidently bricked the device (took over an hour to upgrade and so I forgot it was upgrading - d'oh) so have ended up with a clean install.
- battery life : At this time of the day I used to be at 52% (.253), currently 80% (has been off charge for 5 hours so far), was pretty poor for the first two days while Google Play music was hammering the WiFi connection downloading music (why can't it see what's already on the SD Card - argh!), but still an improvement of .253 which was appalling.
It used to be that Google Play Services and Android System were the top users by a country mile - today it's Screen (27%) and Beyond Pod (9%)
- overheating : Certainly running cooler
- phone/wifi signal : No issues before or since
- fingerprint sensor : No issues before or since
- camera photo quality : No issues before or since
- Bluetooth music jitter : As solid as it has been since the last upgrade, i.e. Bluetooth is problem free, Wired occasionally jitters approx 20 minutes after losing Wifi.
Or anything else?
WiFi Calling still temperamental (i.e. needing a reboot), less of an issue for me now I have VoLTE and new masts cover work and home better.
Thanks very much for that excellent and detailed response
I hope this will fix things. On .253 I'm having issues with the finger print scanner, saying hardware is unavailable after long periods of not using the phone. Also, the camera crashes when trying to take a video. gifs and videos on apps such as facebook or youtube doesn't play too. Restart fixes things but it's annoying that I have to do it at the start of the day, every single day. Would love to hear from somebody with same issues who upgraded from .253
I updated to this and done a factory reset (I always do this after installing new update). My device for more than 10 hours now has problem with volume.
If I play any music (on full volume) for more than 1 seconds the volume level is reduced dramatically. My phone has never been in contact with water or anything. As of now I have turned the phone off/on and still no difference. I have used Google Play, Spotify and the same problem occurs.
On the other hand it doesn't heat up. Battery life seems a tad better if I recall so far. Other than that no difference apart from a message I got about battery charging.
Seems to be the hearing protection. New build.prop in .305 is without persist.audio.hp entry. Just re-add it to build.prop (persist.audio.hp=false), reboot and should be working again (you need to be rooted).

Di you have Root?
Ever have problems before?
Yes, I'm rooted (just check tobias waldvogels rootkernel thread), but you need to have unlocked bootloader first (don't forget to make TA backup!).
i found that the phone gets warm (more than previous firmware) when browsing the web using chrome.
i noticed that the sony email client doesnt check/update as quickly enough compared to previous firmware.
i did notice couple of things have been fixed, but my overall suspicion of this firmware is that it introduces more issues than it fixed.
also some kind of security has been introduced to stop you from hiding apps such as the quick apps bar.
im also curious why sony introduced that "battery optimization"? has it to do with maybe the batteries starting to bubble hence causing the back cover to crack? so by reducing the charge amount it sort of stops that from happening?
im also running stock firmware.
I would appreciate you come back w/ a review after a month of usage. If you have been using Android for a significant amount of time, then you know that it's always good in the beginning. I don't think much stock should be put in a review done after a day besides ease of installation and (maybe) initial impressions, imho
ive gone back to .253 firmware. this previous version seems to work much better on my australian z5 compact.
no heating issues. battery is better. email app works better etc. etc.
yes it does have the annoying low volume and a issue with the sms app (when trying to add certain photos). but overall to me it works better than .305 version.

Which Script you are using to debloat?

A few weeks ago, I tried this. From @FcukBloat
But for me it didn't work. When I flashed, I got a message that the zip was corrupt (which I can't believe, and it's not the first time this happened). And I also had a problem with Online Nandroid, so in the end I had to redo it.
This time, I just did manually what the script should automate. Next time I'll figure out how to build it myself, if I'm smart enough.
So after a week of 305 vs 253 - I've managed to get through to the end of the day without needing to charge one or twice throughout the day every single day, the phone is running much cooler (i.e. most of the time there is no heat detectable), and is also less laggy, especially when launching the camera. Battery life is getting better by the day too - now at 60% (after being off charger for 12.5 hours) with Google Play Music, twitter, and an hour of MapMyWalk (so GPS usage) - on 253 I'd have been below 20% at this point of the day.

im also going pure stock unrooted locked bootloader ,at least till warranty void anyway\ OR the phone become really slow for some reason, and root will help
example: this phone got only 2GB RAM which very bad multitasking , and heavy apps like CSR2 left my phone with only 200MB .
so i guess il need more Swapfile\Z-ram @1s

Phone always awake after latest update (November 2016 E3 Power)!

This update was 22.x mb in size, updated security patch to october,2016. I updated 2 days ago and since then the battery is draining constantly because phone is always awake in battery stats (10% drain last night). Anyone else having the same problem? Any fix?

My friend is also having the same problem after update (same phone). I removed the sim and the drain disappeared. Maybe its because of bad signal? Or maybe its firmware issue.
Battery drain after update
My moto e3 power too is having similar excessive battery drain after the 22mb update due to phone being always awake.
Please reply if anyone has a fix.
I already informed this issue to Indian Lenovo (Moto) team and lenovo's forums also. After getting next OTA system update, it will solve.
Check lenovo's forums .

Thank you for that clarification, this was driving me crazy because my E3 had many problems after this update.
Google now launcher force closing, all Google apps force closing, and rebooting every few minutes.
All my system information did not make sense and was wrong.
Motorola have now repaired my device it had to be wiped and the firmware reflashed, it now has System version S131 and was System version S124 before the update.
I have received notification yesterday about another 22.3 mb update, this will increase my system version from S131 to S135 as in my screenshot.
I have not installed this update.
I have read in Motorolas own forum and the E3 Facebook page many people complaining about problems with this update.
Thank you again for making us users aware this update is problematic and possibly faulty
Here is the notification of new update ?

It is very laggy. At least on my phone. C.33 was way better.
My keyboard is stuttering while I'm typing this message, too.

I see no differences in performance between both updates on mine
That is weird but expected. Not everyone is getting the same experience on updates. I wonder what is the cause of it
I agree, it is very laggy.
Particularly when unlocked but also when using Google Chrome.
I regret having my phone updated.

Hopefully a new patch is going to come out early next month. Anyway, it's really bad especially if you have it as primary device like me.
No any performance drop after update.
I solved most of the performance issues by formatting data from recovery. Pretty bad anyway
I have done all the updtas till now but it's the first time that i take an update that almost destroying my phone use.
So that the reason i wrote the following for an expensive mobile phone!
So that's what is happening:
All the performance is much slower!
Every few minutes the phone will just lag SEVERELY with big stutters.
When i am playing a game like Last Shelter then the game lags, screen stops scrolling up down or left right for few seconds.
Now i have not Gmail notification no matter what i do!
Many times when i open camera image that i want to photo on my screen is blinking like a Christmas tree!!! Must close camera app and open it again for fixing the problem.
Battery last less for the same use!
I can not write a message correctly, for all aps that i use, at the keyboard because of 1 or more seconds lag write the word and after a while i see the whole word i wrote!
Also i touch letter E and keyboard write the number 3 lag lag lag!
Try to scroll up down at settings menu or firefox or chrome screen reading an article and the screen stops going up or down for a hole second, can not keep reading that way!
Unbelievable update!
REALme i think that's the last time that i buy such an expensive phone from you!
I expected more serious job for such phones!

Man I understand the anger and I with you with that.
Anyway, try a couple of stuff to mitigate: factory reset will make things a little bit better, but most of all, go in the process manager and shut down all the processes. This will not solve this garbage of an update, but it will make things a little bit better.

I can Not do factory reset to built up again the phone i need 2 days and i have not so much time. Every time that upgrade a phone you should do factory reset, where realme says that?
Its a flagship phone for REALme i bought it for better performance and better customer support i see none of them.
i have done everything i know till now and nothing solved that seriously problems!
Thanks a lot man!
I had many other problems with this model that 7 months i have bought that new phone.
Sorry but thats a bad company?
After almost one week of usage I can confirm, this update is a complete BS. The phone is lagging like hell.
I think now this phone is like my old lg g6, maybe worse. And I'm not exaggerating. Very, very disappointed by Realme.
I think the LG g6 is better than the X2 pro with c.34 right now
Just made some tests and I gotta tell you that deactivating facial recognition the phone works better overall. Not fixed by any means, but at least it's smoother and for some reason battery draining is fixed.
Keyboard lags, gaming performance and clunkyness due to touch sensitivity is still there don't misjudge. But at least we can survive untill c.35 or RUI 2.0
Things are getting worse.
4g stops working every day. I need to reset the phone every time to be able to use data outside. Wifi ok.
This is getting ridiculous.
Can I go back to .33? Can I downgrade easily?

I submitted a thread on the c.realme community about that but I don't think it's available as an option. I think the only way is go back to color os 6 and then upgrade to c.33
Let's hope that with realme ui 2.0 they'll sort things out. I give it 1 month to fix this mess (I'm so patient), after that if things get fixed I'll forgive Realme, otherwise I'm going to sell my phone and advice against this sh**.

I've heard the Andorid 11 stable update is behind the corner, so I'll wait.
I do not want to install this update all over again.
Thanks for the suggestion tho.

N9860 5g HK Android 11 update is here 😁

Hey guys, I'm downloading Android 11 update on my N9860 HK note 5 as of now. At last
Congrats, man would you please check Android Auto in the car - does it work?
I didn't like the update at all - ugly interface and the phone is now freezing a lot even after wiping cache partition. The old Android was buttery smooth!
I also noticed that Night Mode takes A WAY longer to process the final image vs old Android that was taking just a few seconds. Can someone please check this and confirm for HK version?

I can barely notice a difference. No change in performance. No stuttering. The biggest interface change I've noticed is the style of buttons for the SIM unlock screen. Otherwise everything feels the same.
I tried a night mode photo. I'm not sure how quick it was before, but it seems what I would expect. Maybe any delay is due to superior processing.
Overall I'd say the upgrade experience is practically invisible unless you want to go ploughing through all the menus. I don't care to do that. I have no need to.
