Xperia L screen flickering issue 4.2.2 - Sony Xperia L

Well i know this issue is raised before also but it was getting too annoying for me that i made video to show the sony that what type of problem almost many xperia L users are facing .How am i supposed to use the device when the screen flickers like this. I did factory reset and i did everything. I hope to get answer from the sony , fix the bugs or end this 4.2.2 update rolling out and save the people.
Because there are somepeople out there who doesnt even know how to downgrade phone , they will face the lifelong problems.
Here is the video of what type of problem i am facing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGTqSY52tO8
If sony will not solve this problem , i will never buy the sony device again in my life

I don't see the screen flickering
Sent from 100 years in the future

The first time I updated to 4.2.2 using World Generic version I had,
1.Internel memory problem where memory gets full even I dont have any data inside the storage
2.Screen flickering
3.Left side of display tearing apart
4.Battery consuming (Heating)
after all of that I flashed the Philippine one and luckily the storage error was not thier but other problems are there!
And finally I have decided to come back to 2.17! I hope SONY will release proper,bugless one soon.

[Q] Xperia M2 camera crashes

I have been using Xperia M2 since last couple of days. Phone is good, no doubts.
But the camera app keeps crashing very often. This happens just randomly and I cant pinpoint what camera feature use makes it crash.
Also observed that the phone gets heated pretty quickly from the back near camera lens.
Anyone observed these? Any Idea what can I do about this?

Hello friend,
You should repair phone, I mean reinstall android. Remember do backup your files before you do anything.
You have 2 ways to repair your smartphone:
1) Easy way: Use official application Sony Update Service.
2) Advanced way: You can use also Flashtool. Just download firmware to your xperia but remember to check Your xperia m2 version before flash.
My advice. If you not used the flashtool before, you should use first option.
I wish you good luck.
Regards,

z3 adaptive display issue

hey bros,
im using a z3 d6653 and it was all good until i got the 5.1.1 update like 2weeks ago and when i unlock my phone,,each time the brightness goes to a ridiculously high amount and it keeps there for 2,3 seconds and goes back to normal..
is this a common issue and how can i solve this
This IS a common issue. Currently no way to solve it. You can only switch adaptive display off or roll back to 5.0 and hope that Sony will fix it in the future.

XPERIA XA battery unable to charge while in use

Hello all,
I've recently bought an Xperia XA and have been satisfied with the device itself, i know its a new phone and we could await some updates, but what i encountered last night made me create an account here and ask.
I was low on battery, basically 1% and attached it to the charger i received with the phone itself, thus the phone goes into normal mode no battery saving or stamina, nothing and no third party apps installed for it. I started browsing Instagram, through google chrome, and even though the phone was charging it couldn't get up even 1% for the time I was on it, basically 30mins almost.
Now, your thoughts, I see on the forums the battery drains fast, cannot basically use it without stamina mode, but do you think that this is 'normal' or should I go back and ask for a different device?
Do you think the updates to the system itself will solve the problems in the future? I was on an Xperia M2 before and was really satisfied, battery lasted whole day no stamina mode, no problem. And from the specifications I read its supposed to have a good battery(XA).
Thank you,
Friction

Not sure about the charging but one thing I never do is use a device whilst charging, there is a known wifi bug that doesn't let the device reach deap sleep on the original firmware are you on the latest firmware version as the wifi bug is fixed and there's a new kernel aswell apparently I also recommend either a factory reset or software repair once latest firmware is available. How is it compared to the m2 as I'm making the same upgrade next week all being well and I'm following everything closely it's a stunning looking device only had a few brief goes with one don't know whether to get black/charcoal one or lime gold one

The current build number is 33.2.A.2.35 and I did do a factory reset since the update but didn't help much. For eg I've taken it off the charger this morning @ 6.00 and haven't been using it much, a couple of viber messages and pictures taken, one short call (under 1 min) basically its on my desk while I'm at work, only chatting with my gf a bit. And it dropped right now to 40% . And it is in Stamina mode, with optimization disabled for viber and whatsapp.
*edit call quality way better than m2 forgot that*
Now compared to the M2, hands down like going from a zastava car(serbian) to a benz i'd say, works flawlessly, the camera both front and back is better than expected, zoom is nice, design and aluminium body are perfect with slight screen curvature. It says mid range but certainly doesn't feel like it. Only issue beside the battery is finding accessories for it, screen protection or casing, at least in Serbia, as it is brand new, most people in shops haven't even heard of it.

Only cases I've seen myself are genuine Sony ones, a shell type and the leather flap type screenprotectors try mediadevil the best non tempered glass ones I've found been using them on my M2 for a while

[HELP!] RECENT minor flickering on the S6

Im really worried about that issue.. Im seriously considering getting a new device as a result.
After the last android ota update (August's I think - not sure cuz I didnt update for some time after it notified me)
My screen started to do these 3-4 flicks whenever Im going somewhere and then returning to the home screen..
(Going in whatsapp then returning.. or EVEN sliding the notification bar down then closing it and it flicks again for 2 seconds)
**The phone is in perfect condition no drops no water damage.
UNROOTED ALL OFFICIAL , auto brightness on .
Soft restart applied nothing changed.
Ive tried a hard reset aswell.. with cache wipe.. still nothing. Went into safe mode STILL FLICKS .
But if there was absolutely NO HW damage how come nothing helps (concerning software)..
What can u suggest me to try next ? Im really desperate here.. :crying:
If the problem was the update, there are 2 things you can do
1- (Recommended) Flash the rom again, using Odin flash the most recent update
2- Downgrade, also using Odin flash the old firmware (hard reset should be necessary)
yeah I thought about it but that requires a rooted device doesnt it? and I dont want to void warranty for now..

Just googled in latest update for s6 and found this, so many people complaining about so freaking many problems post latest firmware update, SAMSUNG WHAT ARE U DOING? Im getting ready to drop galaxy for good (had s , s3 & s5 before - never have the issues came CLOSE to what Im experiencing right now).
Im seriously considering selling/ returning the phone.. unless they intend on releasing a fix sometime soon..
BUMP

Wondering is it a complete on of flicker or just a britness flicker. Sorry if u stated it.
Ive seen a bunch do a briteness flicker. Ive also seen this on lgs a lot to g3 and g4 both done it. Seems to be a common issue amongst a few differ manifacs.
Never really saw any bad come from it other than annoyances

yeah exactly, its like a brightness flicker, which is actually 2-3 flicks which last like less than a second but it annoys me and even though Im not completely sure it does any damage to the phone itself, it annoys me very much, I dont think I'll be able to get used to that.
I just cant help the feeling that my brand new shinny with absolute no physical damage whatsoever (as stated above) already gives me trouble, its like 8 months old, really disappointing turn of events after a mere firmware update. (talking android 6.0.1 firmware update)
http://www.galaxys6edgeupdate.com/g...roid-601-marshmallow-official-stock-firmware/
July firmware is the one Im talking about - G920FXXU4DPGV (or G920FXXU4DPG2 - not sure exactly but its the same firmware just different names)
Im not gonna go LG ever, seen enough people with so many problems (G3&4) so no.
what are my options concerning the S6 ?

Ive had g2 g3 and g4. In my opinion my g2 was rock solid stable. Best phone ever. I loved my g3 to death. No issuse. I had britnes flicker when at low brite. G4 broke 2 screens and the light sensor went bad. Ditched it good practicly gve it away traded 3 old phones and 30 bucks for it. I got this gs6 rite. 20 bucks had some water damge cleand a flex cable and im good now for 3 months. Other than bad battery life. i love it.
Now u might try like shutting off auto brite mine was more noticeable at low level in a drk room. G3 ended up being a bug in the firmware i ended up downgrading and solved it.
Its not constant flickering like ure describing, its a less than 1sec flicking with each return to homescreen & after that 1sec it stops completely, maybe I'm just too picky u know, I just checked my mom's S5 with latest firmware of 6.0.1 aswell, it also flicks kinda like my S6 (more or less the same thing) other than that 1sec flicker I didnt come across any other issue.. (ofc battery life's not amazing but every s6 user gets and tries to cope with it) I really feel like I did a mistake getting the S6 instead of waiting and getting the S7 with the 3000mah (and overall users all over stating that the battery is astonishing compared to the S6) .. but what can I do if I have this phone for almost a year now... and about the ficker guess I'll just have to wait for Android Nougat to roll out as an OTA update on my S6..

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Serious issue in Xperia Z3. Please check the issues list.

Hi All Friends / Technical Guys in XDA forum,
I'm facing serious issues in my Xperia Z3 mobile phone. Before one month I've purchased Xperia Z3 phone from online market. After i received the item i noticed phone doesn't work NFC function. After two days i noticed GPS also not working as well. And Battery drain in stand by mode. Now day before yesterday phone calls also not working. It means my voice doesn't hear to other party. And when i listen to music using headphones. I can hear really loud cracking noise through the both headphone speakers. Also I've changed couple of my headphones, every headphone has same issue. And WIFI really slow. I've checked WIFI from couple of wifi routers.
Issues List
NFC not working
GPS not working
WIFI slow
Huge battery drain
Can't hear my voice to other party during calls
Really huge cracking noice in headphones
Solutions that i have tried
Factory reset the phone
Flash the OS using Sony FlahTool (androxyde)
Change Marshmallows (Current OS) to Lollipop and KitKat
For WIFI I've tested using multiple routers and changed the channels in router
And checked using Speed Test, Speed test got 50+Mbps but surfing speed is daim slow
For headphones issue checked using couple of headphones
For GPS checked using GPS test, did not connect to any satellite
For calls issue tested voice test using Sony diagnostics not recording my voice
From the above solutions none of them are worked.
So guys i need to know why this happen? And what is this fault? Is it because of the defect mainbored? or other issue?
Please if you guys can tell me what is the exact issue from this details. i can replace the part if it is hardware issue.
unlock bootloader and etc
the best thing u can do unlock bootloader then flash a custom kernel and flash custom rom then wait and see it resolved or not
@John8Metallo8Corben Thanks for the reply. Actually this phone is prototype. If you can may i know what you mean by unlock bootloader? it means root the phone? And may i know about good custom roms for the Xperia Z3.
Not sure if prototype phone get software update, so maybe revert back to original firmware can help?
From xperiafirm find the oldest firmware (store or journalist firmware) and flash while wiping everything in flaahtool.
Really thanks for your reply mate. @gm007 I've checked whether it has any software update for the prototype phones, But unfortunately i haven't found it in google. And i revert back to two OSs (KitKat and Lollipop). I thought it will work but not good result. Same issues have after revert back. But after some researched i found one solution for two issues. One is about proximity sensor, other one is can't hear my voice to other party. Those issues will okay when i press the top speaker area and bottom mic area , When i lose it, again have issue. Now i will give this phone to mobile repair shop. But please let me know if you get any answer for these issues. Thanks again for your reply
Disassemble your phone and clean all the connections and contacts,maybe ur phone has swim in water.
