  • Video capturing in 1080p is lagging very badly 🙁 The video capturing frame is not steady at all. Auto-focus is very bad in video capturing.  Frame rate reduced to 18frames /second. Data rate and total bit rate also reduced. Check the comparison of 1080p HD videos in Xperia SL Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 firmware and Android 4.0.4 ICS firmware

How to Solve Wi-Fi and Mobile Data Connectivity Problem / Issue in Xperia S, SL , Acro S Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 firmware ?

As I mentioned above about the Wi-Fi connectivity and mobile data connectivity issue in the firmware update, here is a solution. What you are facing actually is this that Wi-Fi connects but you are not able to surf anything and same is the case with mobile data. I also got the Error 927 in Google Play when I was updating any app via connecting Wi-Fi and mobile data. Also tried downloading the internet and MMS settings for the phone but unable to do so. After re-updating the software 3 times via SUS I found no improvement in the connectivity issues. What did I do ? I repaired my Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 firmware again on Xperia SL LT26ii (India region) again by PC Companion. And it has solved my problem. Now my Xperia SL Connects very smoothly with the Wi-Fi and mobile data. Though the mobile data speed is a bit slow in both 2G and 3G mode, it may be due to any firmware bug. Lag in 1080p video capturing has also been resolved to greater extent but it is there still 🙁 Try repairing you Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 firmware on your phone via PC Companion and see if the issue is still there if you still see the issue do let us know.

I am very often getting this error “unfortunetly coms.google.process.gapps has stopped working” on my Xperia SL after the Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 update so to resolve this got to settings > Apps > All apps > Tap on menu button > Choose “Reset App preferences” > Click on Reset Apps, now reboot your phone again. The issue should have been resolved now 🙂 If you have got the update in your region, please post your reviews in the comment section regarding this update. Has Sony kept its promise in rolling out jelly bean for Xperia S or it’s a crap update with no features, please drop your comments 🙂 Do let us know if you are facing any problems in this firmware ,we will try to sort it out… Those who have already updated their Xperia S and Xperia SL, do get back to us with you review on this jelly bean firmware, are you satisfied ?

Sony Brazil says Xperia S, P, J, E Dual Jelly Bean coming in June

Another bazooka from Sony came over Xperia S user 😛 Sony Xperia Brazil blogs that android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia S LT26i coming in the first half of June. It’s a contradictory statement from Sony now, as yesterday Sony Xperia France tweeted yesterday that Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia S LT26i is rolling out and the final build be ready till the last week of month of May.

Sony Brazil says Xperia S, P, J, E Dual Jelly Bean coming in June

Yesterday we posted a news regarding PTCRB listing another Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update firmware build number 11.2.A.0.31 for Xperia J ST26i and now Sony Xperia Brazil says that android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update will be coming for all phones Xperia S, P, J and E dual.

As Xperia J, P have already got android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update globally so now it can be a new firmware build number for it.

Sony Brazil says Xperia S, P, J, E Dual android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update coming in June

They have also said about android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia E Dual, that it is being tested and is guaranteed that it will come soon may be in first half of June.

Meanwhile Xperia S users are now amazed to see two different statements from two different Sony accounts. Meanwhile it is being speculated that android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia S will come in the next week of May, hopefully it comes 😛 May be Xperia SL and Acro S gets the same update with Xperia S. What do you think guys why Sony is trolling Xperia S users so over android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update :/

How to get Free £20/€25 Voucher on all Xperia Phones via Xperia Privilege App ?

[quote_center]Install Xperia Privilege App Apk on any Phone like Samsung, HTC by making below changes. Only Rooted Phones.[/quote_center]

Supposing now you have successfully installed Xperia Privilege Apk on your phone, as the Xperia Privilege app is supported by every Xperia smartphone but the promotional offer is only limited to Xperia Z only. So in order to get the Free £20/€25 Voucher on your Xperia handset, we need to do some editing in the build.prop file.

  1. Device must be rooted, if it is then proceed further. With the help of your file manager, navigate to /system/ and open the build.prop file.
  2. Now we are going to edit the build.prop file. Navigate to ro.product.model=<value> and ro.product.board=<value> and in place of <value>, we will add the value of Xperia Z which is to be put like Product Model = Xperia Z = C6603/C6602/SO-02E and Product Board = MSM8960.
  3. Now your build.prop file must be showing  ro.product.model=C6603 and ro.product.board=MSM8960.
  4. Reboot your phone and you are done.
  5. Open the Xperia Privilege app again and now you should see all promotional offers listed and your Free £20/€25 Voucher.

Say cheers on using the Free £20/€25 Voucher, now you are done with this, if you still are not able to see any promotions after doing above step then please wait, the Xperia Privilege App Version 2.0 will be unlocked with all promotional offers soon for all countries.

If you have been able to run this app do let us know does the free voucher offer worked on your phone also or not ? All comments are appreciated.
