I seem to be having issues that don't seem to be cropping up (according to the search function here)
Every ROM I've tried has two major issues:
1) No sound - at all. No notifications, ringtones nothing.
2) The start menu, left hand soft buttons and all call functions are really slow - 20 to 30 seconds to bring up the menu for example.
Anyone else run into this or have any ideas?
Are you sure that your device ok ?
thanks for your reply.
i'm sure the device is OK. i'd been using it for a while with 2003 and then last night i found a 2003 SE ROM i reverted to that and it works fine...........

then are you SURE you are indeed using a Hima??
yep - it even has "hima" in the fcc code under the battery.
cheers.
NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.
6 - 03/27/2012: HOW TO take screen shot: Press AND HOLD ... VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON for at LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. You will then be prompted to view the screenshot in notification bar / indicator.
METHOD #2 of taking screenshots: Press and HOLD Power button + HOME key.
7 - 03/29/2012: Some users report when tapping "RESTART" or "SHUTDOWN" on STOCK Power-button option, the phone will freeze. Either you have it or you don't. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
7 - 04/02/2012: Users report echoing or unable to hear other party on an INCOMING call. This is a "hit or miss" bug.
8 - 04/02/2012: [CONFIRMED]Bluetooth stack in the new kernel has resolved a LOT of vehicle-to-android phone issue (static, drops, functions, etc.).
10 - 04/04/2012: [CONFIRMED BIG ISSUE] When creating a new contact in phone and setting it to GOOGLE CONTACTs; forcing a sync or auto-sync option will NOT push the contact to google servers for backup purposes. However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*
Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).
Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.
I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???
I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?
Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.
good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.
stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.
Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.
Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.

Not getting pictures with messages now, too.
Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.
The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...
I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Did you do a complete ext4 wipe / format prior to ODIN ONE CLICK ?
Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

Hello to the XDA Dev Community.
I'd like to start a threat with bugs after the Android Pie update on our devices.
1. Bug:
Camera App forgets the "volume down key" binding. Means, when double pressed in standby mode the cam is not started.
Solution: Sadly this works only temporary - start the cam app and exit or close. After that the above mentioned shortcut / quickstart works for a short time in standby mode.
2. Bug:
This one is still not repaired: when switching to black mode (to lower the battery consumption) one can not see in the apps overview which of the apps are deactivated - the letters are not visible. When you have the white menues, the term "deactivated" is quite readable. (This bug is existent from the beginning with Android 8 - i chatted on this topic with the customer service of Huawei last year but that guy had no blink of an idea, he sounded very unexperienced.)
My Device:
Unbranded, European version, yesterday received the update.
Wonder if anyone experienced same difficulties and perhaps if there are solutions to this.
Have a good day
Whenever you do a significant upgrade, do a factory reset. This cures most problems, people need to start doing this rather then moaning.
Quite a good idea - but I am long enough into the smartphone scene (since Windows CE and Mobile) to know well that "factory reset" is unfortunately not the magic solution to all problems as some would like it to be...
Of course factory reset is done. Problems are still there, and to be honest - we would have not awaited it as a solution to both bugs i mentioned above a priori, would we?
Well besides I recognized another bug or feature(?)
3. Bug (or feature?):
The native mail app no more shows contacts pictures left to the associated mails.
Does someone know if this is somehow configureable?
Thx in advance
Hi,
found next bug.
4. Bug:
Fast double tapping the "square button" works inconsistently.... It should switch between the two last apps in the tasklist..... May be it has to do with a little time delay / time lag in reaction of EMUI9/Pie... I have the slight feeling that the OS is not that fluent as before (under Android 8)
I hope that is it....
That AI thing in the left most corner in the camera APP is not working, it is the same button as the one you see next to the search bar when you swipe down for searching. I think it used to be some kind for scanner or products? Now the button just flicks and does nothing.

Hey there,
Have you tried to go to battery optimisation (go to settings, hit the search bar on top and start writing "optim" and the first one), then search for "camera" and disable battery optimisation. It solved the problem for me.
I've found that the Pie is more aggresive overall with killing the background apps. I've had to add way more applications (than on droid 8) to the "disable battery optimizations" and to "app launch" (in settings, battery, app launch -> set applications that you want to survive on the background to "manage manually")

Thanks, will try your idea!
OTA Update: Against all info - the update was found by manual search in the standard system settings. As it was found I parallely checked HiCare App - NO updates were found, it was a joke!
So maybe also check this way, do not trust HiCare alone.
Update:
Found and activated the performance mode (as you said - battery settings). Sadly no change in performance of the app-switching.

Disabling the battery optimization for the cam app is the solution. It works even after restart of the device without starting the cam app before!

Hi,
It helps a bit, but still inconsistently working, even after restart of the device. I also tried to put EMUI into the AppAssistant app to enforce it, but the app is not selectable (guess it should be HiStart, EMUI or something like that)...
Only solution atm is to SLOWLY double-tapping the square button.

Update on this issue, I tried to clear data and cache which brought me back to give consent again and all but it still didn't work. What I did was disable it, which tuned it into factory default and then enabled it again and wolah, it works again. Thanks for informing me about the app name btw, would have been impossible without it. HiVision.

My P20 Pro (C782) finally prompted me to updated to Pie today, but having done so I'm experiencing choppy / clipping / stuttering audio when connected to my Sony WH-1000XM3's (using LDAC codec). This wasn't happening on Oreo at all.
I've done a factory reset, but the issue persists. Happens throughout whatever's playing (Spotify, Tidal, PocketCasts, YouTube) and is especially noticeable when pressing the power button to activate the screen.
Any ideas?
Anyone else having problems with the volume rocker?
I can't slide the volume to the left to get multiple profiles. Isn't it possible with the pie update?

Wonder if the volume rocker is not vertically orientated in Pie. Mine is working good, sliding down goes to silent. Above the slider is a button for vibration, sound and silence.

Sounds to be a limitation by Huawei software...
I also recognized following bug (Android 8 & 9):
If I configure any mail account to "manually" in the native Huawei mail app, the app still looks for mails after a time when i only open the inbox....
Same situation when device goes into ultra power saving mode or automatically powers off because of low power....after return to normal state or reboot after charge the app now looks on all mail accounts for new messages itself/automatically. This happens when WIFI was on before powersaving mode or power off. As soon WIFI is available at startup or return to normal mode aforementioned situation occurs.... Can be avoided by canceling WIFI connection to the server/router....
That is indeed annoying!

And what does sliding to the side do?
It should show all the profiles like media, alarm and phone volume? No?
I noticed that the homescreen shortcuts, that arised if you press and hold on the Phone Manager icon, were removed. Too bad, would link the power mode to homescreen. Even better would be a shortcut in the Quick Settings.
Starting a thread to track Android 12 Bugs and issues similar to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-11-bug-problems-original-firmware-xperia-5-ii.4225029/
In first few hours of use I found out that sometimes status bar vanishes and you need to scroll down settings panel to get the status bar again.
Observed this couple of times but not able to repro it consistently.
Anyone facing this? Any other issues to report?
Couple of another issues:
1) Dynamic vibration seems to be kicking off on first level and phone vibrates vigorously.
2) Multi window is having few issue like sometime one of the window is blank and when you try to see recently used apps the screenshot of the app shows zoomed in content.
IV updated not long ago I'm using nova launcher not noticed any bugs as yet just a boat load of blue everywhere lol
Dynamic vibration is working Continuously when I play YouTube video or something. That's the only bug I found. Even I tried to low ,mid or high it's not controlling properly. They need to fix this.
Small update. Dynamic vibration continuously work if I use my xm4 ear buds.
Connecting to headphones via tapping on the NFC doesn't work (wh-1000xm3)
I get a vibration, headphones turn on but I have to manually go to bluetooth tab and connect from there
disconnecting works fine

i think they have not included the new theme-color-walls-feature like on Pixels for example, or other Brand. It's a very specific choice, i think, after all Xperia use Android Stock if i'm correct.
I'm no Android expert so my Xperia 5 II is stock. I do use the Nova Launcher. I'm in Mexico and got the update two days ago. I'm mostly deaf and don't use the phone and didn't notice until 3:30 this morning that I had no internet connection and when I checked in "Settings" I saw my provider, Telcel, and a not "Temporarily Inavailable". Since it was Sunday morning I thought maybe they took service down doing some sort of maintenance. At eight I took another look. I tried *133# to see my account status and got a message, "Temporarily Unavailable." Then I tried sending a text message to a friend and it went through.
I went to "Settings", deleted Telcel as my service provider, cancelled the instruction to automatically connect and shut down. Then I started the phone, reconnected to Telcel, reinitiated the order to connect automatically and all went well and it worked fine.
Other than that, I have had no glitches. I don't use vibrations or split screens. I did give the cameras a pretty good run and they worked fine.
Screenshot is no longer accessed from long press power button, but is now accessed through the square navigation button. Meaning i can no longer screenshot my apps list.
Ambient display, when phone is locked and idle, is dimmer than when in Andriod 11. Brightness cant be adjusted.
Turning wifi on/off requires more touches. You now have to press 'Internet' from the top pull-down menu and toggle the wifi on/off from a popup menu at the bottom of screen. I hope your fingers can reach if using one-handed.
Switching phone calls and notifications to Normal/Silent/Vibrate from pressing the Volume buttons on the side opens up a list of switches, rather than pressing same icon and cycling through modes.
The shortcuts in the top pull-down menu are larger. In Android 11 i had setup 6 most used shortcuts across the top, now in 12, 6 shortcuts take up half the screen.
Tapping the square navigation button twice to switch between open apps must be done slower. No more fast switching.
Swiping the top pull-down menu once covers the whole screen, whatever you were looking at is covered by the drop down.
You can probably tell i dont like A12, but i know, im probably whinging over nothing.

I found that screenshot is done by holding the power button and volume down at the same time, which is the most clumsy and unnecessary thing to add. If there's a way to get this back by only long pressing the power button, I'd love to know.
I'm not a fan of this as well, mainly because they managed to break things that didn't need fixing, like turning on and off wifi. It is however better in that when I turn off wifi, it is automatically on my mobile network. Before this update, it would not automatically connect to the mobile network and I would have to toggle plane mode on and off several times or restart to get the mobile network connected. So that's working better at least.
Another issue I'm having is that when I delete an email from Gmail, it will sit in the notification bar showing deleted until I clear it, when before it would clear on its own after a few seconds. Also, the huge buttons look awful.
I don't want to go back to Android 11, but I would like the long press screenshot back, the buttons in the pulldown to look like they did before and accessing wifi simplified....I'm sure I'll find more things I hate with each passing day.
I don't know. I've never done a screenshot and my notifications for email go away when I delete the email whether I delete it on my phone or on my Chromebook. My old arthritic hands are cursed with stubby fingers and I rather like the large buttons.
Why do people turn WiFi off and on. My is just on. As I visit coffee shops, restaurants, and public places my phone automatically connects to other WiFi. I don't do anything requiring secuity while visiting other locations.
As usual, for me, Android 12 will be an irritating mess for a week or so and then it will miraculously improve.

I got in the habit of turning wifi on and off because on android 11, whenever I would get out of wifi range, it wouldn't automatically connect to mobile and so I would have no signal at all. I think it's a habit for me at this point, but it still shouldn't require 3-4 steps to turn on or off.
The longpress screenshot was really handy. Having to use a combination of buttons doesn't make much sense from a user standpoint...namely, mine
The big buttons, I've gotten used to and I do like that you can expand the size of the screenshot window to capture more of the image.
The biggest issue for me is the deleted messages not clearing. It will sit there all day showing deleted if I let it.

I never had that problem switching to my cell service when out of WiFi range. I think my 5II came with Android 11 and my Wifi and cell service are two different divisions of the same company. I don't know if that would matter.
I'll keep an eye on notifications but so far they're disappearing when the source is deleted..
Thanks for your responses.
The screenshot press vol down / power button doesn't work for me.
About the Gmail issue, i havent had that issue yet. I do use gmail, but its not my primary.
Im in the habit of turning wifi on/off when i use it. It defaults back to mobile network without issue, thats always on so I dont share that experience.
Ive just found another issue. Long press on the home screen and selecting 'Wallpaper'. When i select a wallpaper and set as home screen only, it applies to both home and lock screen.

Yeah! a lot of options are missing there like Service tests and other Network related configs.
I've no issues with the update besides Android 12 user experience being garbage in some areas where it was perfectly fine in Android 11. This is mostly with the quick settings where I now need one more tap for almost everything I'm using.
As72 HK version .. in the Philippines... Incoming and outgoing calls not working after the upgrade. Phone restarts didn't help
Worked for a few days after doing a factory reset... But stopped working again...
Sms and LTE+ is working, no issues..
I found a workaround for dynamic vibration issue in 5II after Android 12 update (issue being dynamic vibration accidentally kicks in while playing video on YouTube or Facebook)
Go to settings>Sound > Disable Dynamic vibration.
Play a video in YouTube or Facebook.
Get back to settings > Sound > Enable Dynamic vibration.
Now, dynamic vibration won't kick in accidentally.
Hi guys just making this thread to keep everyone as up to date as possible on the ColorOS 13 and what to expect. I'm currently downloading the beta firmware that's been released to the Ambassador's possibly to more users outside the ambassador program so here's the current file size and change log. Any questions fire away.
After 24 hours or so later from installing the beta I have noticed a few slight issues nothing show stopping so far so here's slight run down of things I have found so far:
1. Google Wallet:
Due to this being Beta firmware you are given this error,
I have yet to test to see if contactless payment might actually still work despite the warning message but I do plan to test it anyway.
2. Brightness issue:
After installing the new Beta I noticed that when the device was booting up the screen was lovely and bright. However as soon as it gets passed the boot animation all of a sudden the screen got really dark to the point that even screenshots became dark as well note the warning image above. After some digging about in the settings menu I came across an option within the dark mode settings called "Reduce contrast in low-light conditions". After i disabled that option the screen brightness and screenshots returned to normal again.
3. The Power Menu:
With this new update the power menu has changed quite a lot when you press the power button or the power + volume up depending on your setup you will no longer see the the Emergency, Restart or Power off buttons at the top. What you will see now is a sliding option in the middle of your screen to Restart or Power off. However not sure if it related to my first point but i no longer have options for quick access to my contactless payment options. Hopefully once the official version gets released having quick access to my payment options will return

Can you check these things for me?
1. Does ColorOS 13 allow hiding lock screen pattern? It's not there in ColorOS 12 despite being a feature in stock Android since forever.
2. Go to App info of Google Drive, then Open by Default. Does it have the option to turn off 'Open supported links'? It's there in stock Android 12 but not ColorOS 12. An example is provided below.
3. When you use App drawer mode (App drawer seperate with Home screen) and long press a user-installed app icon, does it allow uninstalling, or just removing the shortcut? I can do this in OneUI and OxygenOS 10 but not in ColorOS 12.
4. In App Drawer, when pressing the three dot icon above an app, does it allow going to 'App Info' of that app? Again, I can do this in OneUI but not ColorOS 12.
(the top option is App info)
These little things have been bugging me since updating to 12, so really appreciate if you can confirm if they have fixed them in ColorOS 13
I update to for android 13 and the phone is hot in idel and the battery drain fast
I have a question about the new version. Did they change how notifications behave on the lockscreen? At the moment notifications dissapear from the lockscreen in these scenarios:
- after you unlock and lock your phone, notifications disappear
- after a while (say 5 to 30 minutes) notifications dissapear from the lockscreen after having unlocked the phone.
All oppo, realme and (since oxygen 12) oneplus phones have this behavior.
I want to know if all notifications stay on the lockscreen no matter how many times you unlock your phone or how many hours they have been sitting there.
Any update to our questions?

That happened to me, I rebooted and factory reset and now I am back to a fantastic battery with very little drain.

I have just tested this and had a Facebook Message notification, I unlocked my phone - ignored the notification, and locked my phone - it is still there!
I will wait up to an hour to see if it goes away!

Does this mean it automatically chooses the strongest? Or does it mean it automatically goes to 5G settings?
Second beta works perfect
Few days ago i sign up for the beta tester, yesterday evening i got notification for update to 13 beta.
Excited at first but after reading known issues (2nd beta) one of them is "laggy in some situation" i decided to stay at 12 and waiting for the stable version of 13.
Then i wake up this morning, open my phone then realize it has been automaticly updated overnight -_-
I use my phone looking for new features and functions for about an hour, didnt find any bugs except for the universal search in app drawer is not working. Turn that off and now the search function is working properly. Google wallet is not popular around here so i dont use them. So far i like the looks of the new ui.
Gonna update here if i found other bugs, the phone feels a little bit slower tho (barely noticable, 0.xx second slower), hopefully due to the phone still processing updates and optimization of the new os.
