[RHBH]

Since majority of bugs that affects general users are fixed, Sony can end support for Xperia S.

They probably will, but hope is the last to die.

But huh! My WiFi is dropping like crazy (wasn't happening before with .200/.211 buids), same location and router than before, I'm just changing some configs related to WiFi Channel, I hope it solves it, or I'll be really messed up cause my ultrabook works ok on my bedroom, my av receiver works ok on my bedroom, my tablet works ok on my bedroom, but just my smartphone don't? Wtf?

Ps: My Xperia S also had poor signal compared to other devices, but the signal strenght is the same as before, the difference is that the WiFi connection is dropping and reconnecting (about 5~7 seconds after it drops).

Press on it and swipe down with two fingers or one and you'll get this:

Expandable swipe notifications are new in Jelly Bean and they work in a lot of other stuff like gmail, messages etc. You can see more here.

I just rechecked the 1080p video recording.... As said in previous posts, a small lag when start recording , then almost smooth recording...

Now playing - tested on 3 players. Sony Movie player, Android stock video player and vlc (in beta)...

In sony player- same as recording- little lag in the beginning and then smooth
In Stock Android player- Very smooth playing from start - best of the three playback
In VLC- crappy cluttered video all throughout....

So this lead to something to player issue?? How come in stock android player, its so smooth? Hadnt tested this before upgrade- to know whether it was altogether sony video player issue???

Some other mentions- Smooth and fast Voice call start. in previous .211 there was little delay in popup of call window. Wifi still same for me. Data aslo seem tobe fine...

hope sony releases one more small update or patch to fix the residual issues left behind.the minor lag but very less notable in 1080 p recording and like others said hdmi and some more.to make it better than ics not worse than ics making people bang their head thinking why di they update

I will dare to say this update is perfect for general users. I use HDMI for YouTube videos and don't suffer from any form of lag at all even with .211. As what others mentioned, only the viewfinder have minor, next to unnoticeable lag that is NOT present in the output video at all.

And try to improve in your sarcasm.

I use SwiftKey and upon reboot this firmware (since JB actually) doesn't remember to keep it as the default keyboard and always goes back to the Xperia one. However, I also have Google keyboard installed and it will remember that one upon reboot. So maybe it's a Swiftkey specific issue with the S's JB firmwares?

I use Swype and it happened the same. The Swype team said to me that it was a Google's framework problem, or something like that..

I need to look for something, maybe it will give us a tip. But, I need you to upload for me: /system/usr/keylayout/clearpad.kl

Could anyone do that for me? I have a shot in the dark, that could help...

Having just watched the video I shot yesterday on VLC I have to agree with this. Android player certainly gave the smoothest results with VLC giving some artifacts and stuttering. However, I'm not sure that the Sony player necessarily gave a worse result that stock android (I'm still on ICS - so the Sony player may well be noticeably worse in latest JB).

I'm still thinking that a lot of the video jerkiness/auto focus problems could be due to the camera struggling with low light indoors conditions. On ICS video that I shoot outdoors in bright natural light is always better than indoors filming. But this would be true of any camera, and is not necessarily a firmware problem as much as it is a general problem for all low tier cameras. I wonder if people reporting 1080p recording problems could report what the light conditions were like during filming, and if moving outside/adding more light significantly increased performance.

For me, the possibility that the camera may actually be worse is the only thing holding me back from moving from ICS to JB.

Sadly, it isn't what I was looking for...

We need to find what says that douple press opens what and long press opens what, and trade them up...

I will look further into it...

Do you have one of the last TP-Link models with atheros 9xxx chipset, and with factory firmware? because i had the same problem but after changed firmware (DD-WRT) everything was fine!

I mean, I need to know which file dictates what is the behavior of each button at their different states... If I can find it, I think I can switch them...
