Hi there,
I am currently on 10.4.B.0.569 india generic firmware on SGP321. My first impression is that the 4.3 rom is awesome! Project butter is really doing their job pretty well. However, I still found a couple of bugs; some of them are pretty annoying. And I am not really sure if everyone has the same problems or if i am the only one who has them. Those bugs are listed below:

1. Black Wallpaper: it appears for a few second after playing some heavy games or a extensive use of facebook app or web browser. It is back to normal in a matter of seconds but it is pretty annoying.
2. App icon is out off the folder: trying to apply the new theme and the problem appear, but after a few reboots it was back to normal.
3. Video playback seem to not working properly: I try to play some 720p or 1080p videos and it skips a few frame. It looks pretty laggish. It does not happen to every 720p videos, but i usually have that problem with mkv dvdrip format 23.97fps which was fine in 4.2.2. Switching to S/W mode in MX player seem to fix the problem.
4. Battery life: seem to consume a little more than it used to in 4.2.2. I usually get 8-9h of screen on. In 4.2.2, i got around 8-10h. Amazingly, in 4.1.2 i got up to 11h of video playback.
5. Screen flickering from times to times

That's all I found so far. Tell me if u have the same problems and feel free to add more.
Have a nice day!

As far as i understood shutdown time depends on a number of programs loaded in memory (not installed but running at the moment) and on unmounting of SD-card. Cause it takes some time to unload them properly, unmount partitions, sd and then shut down.

I think it is router related. I once use both my tablet and phone at the same and unfortunately wifi drop on both device.

MHL/HDMI output does not scale picture to tv, which means the aspect ratio is messed up (wide faces etc). Did work perfectly in 4.1.2. Sony support blames Google.

If you have video format issues try using Mx player latest version with custom codec, video will run fine in Hw mode

I recently bought a SGP311 and went from 4.1.2 straight to 4.3. Even though my tablet was new, I did a factory reset anyway while installing the new android. The tablet took a minute to shut down. Minor annoyance really. But my first impression was that it hanged on shutdown.


That said, I returned that tablet b/c of a loose back. I got a brand new one and have kept it on 4.1.2 for now until I see problems are being addressed. Most notably battery life and HD video issues.


This is a very good thread for me to track issues. Thank-you OP for this thread.


And in 4.3, how do you get the small small apps as available in 4.1.2? Im still trying to learn my ropes on the tablet, but as I have returned the updated tablet, I'd like to know this is possible.

On mine, there's only the battery gauge bug: When the battery is low (below 40% or so), if the tablet is restarted, the battery indicator suddenly shows over 50% afterwards, which is definitely wrong.

Weird I am running new stock 4.3 and I haven't faced any of the issues my battery is way better then 4.2 I get a few days out of it with light use with mouse and keyboard. Mhl works great for me. If you have the option in your TV.you can fix it.by using screen fit. Haven't had a single reboot either with my tab z

    Of course, i forgot about the flickering. In Messenger app or browser, ususally when the keyboard is on, but not always.
