14.1.B.1.510 & .526 Fake Hang and SOD issue and prevent solution + misc others issues

I still facing following issues in latest firmware, issue 1 to 3 appear after .510 firmware, issue 4 to 6 appear since 1st initial firmware.

1. Fake hang in next startup once shutdown the phone with condition un-tick optimize backlight and tick adapt to lighting conditions.
2. SOD appear after the fake hang by simply click the power button to lock the screen.
3. English swiping input in Chinese Keyboard at mini keyboard layout is not working. All output is wrong wording. It look obvious it registered the swiping at full screen keyboard layout.
4. Chinese input by typing in most website not working in proper, only swiping is working.
5. Flickering / frame chopping when viewing Youtube video directly via Chrome where it not link to YouTube own app. No issue if watching YouTube at own YouTube app.
6. Download YouTube movie using third party app like JetVD facing same flickering / frame chopping video result.

Means Sony didn't solve any issues but instead adding more issues on it!

14.1.B.1.510 & .526 big issue and prevention. Sony didn't solved it even at newer .526 firmware.

...

Below is how to rectified the problem exist and prevent solution.

How to make startup fake hang happen with SOD after success login the phone

Tick Adapt to lighting conditions.
Un-tick Optimised backlight and shutdown the phone.
Switch on the phone - you will facing the fake hang issue.

How to get SOD

After above scenario fake hang happen, wait until it load to phone, +/- 1 min.
Immediate locked the screen. Tada! Screen of Dead happen!

How to solved the issue

Force restart the phone - either take out the SIM card to let the phone auto restart itself or press and hold the red button beside SIM card and wait until 3 vibrate, the phone is switch off.
The fake hang still exist when the phone switching on, as usual wait +/-1 min to let the phone load in.
Tick back Optimised backlight and immediate shutdown the phone.
Now start the phone back, you will notice the fake hang during startup no longer happen.
No SOD also when locked and unlocked the screen.

Can we still not using the Optimised backlight?

YES - as long as you remember to tick back before plan to shutdown the phone.

Why I not prefer to use Optimised backlight?

The screen color more dull a bit and less pure black.
It is obvious noticeable when you slide left at App Drawer for more features of App Drawer, the dark grey will became bright grey in Optimised backlight.

Is SOD always happen

NO - It only happen when your boot-up facing fake hang issue.
Solution - always tick back Optimised Backlight before shutdown your phone until Sony solved it.

Thanks for the tip!
Still after update 14.1.B.1.526 the bug is there...

Feeling like a downgrade since the washout colors of the "force" backlight optimizer

Guitarfreak26 · Sep 10, 2013

I get this bug even with optimised backlight ticked. Only had it since updating to .526 though

I also just update to .526.

Same symptoms.

You need and must - immediate tick back optimize backlight once fake hang and success login and remember immediate shutdown your phone.

The symptoms is gone if you doing above.

And you can un-tick back the optimize backlight later, but always remember must tick back before shutdown to prevent the issue re-appear.

Did you do a clean install or simply updated? Here SOD gone, screen colors really upgraded, some report bluetooth connectivity fixed (don't have bluetooth so can't say), always had recorder (can be uninstalled on "apps" ). Don't know about Chinese keyboard issue. Try to repair your phone on Pc Companion (think about backup your apps and data first). Seems people who made a clean install have no issues.

Try simulating issue as below,
I didn't experience fake hang / SOD. I'm on .526
I had similar issue on 510 but not anymore on 526
I did fresh firmware upgrade from 510, wipe all my data and logs (did my backup using TB)
when i was on 510, fake hang and SOD happens event before root.

How to make startup fake hang happen

Un-tick Optimised backlight and shutdown the phone.
Switch on the phone - you will facing the fake hang issue.

How to get SOD

After above scenario fake hang happen, wait until it load to phone, +/- 1 min.
Immediate locked the screen. Tada! Screen of Dead happen!

Exactly what I was thinking, after clean install there is no problem. Seems that switching between regions by changing build.prop isn't the best thing to do. Only can report bugs after doing a fresh install, and .526 showed none for me, even find a big improvement on poor luminosity with the camera.

I will do fresh install tomorrow to check whether it solved or not. If solved, is good.

I hope it solved. Not like previous .510 never help.

Do you use "adapt to lighting condition", just tried it and got a SOD. First time I am using it as I usually manage it manually.

Guys I'm on .526 but just upgraded after changing country code so I didn't do fresh install. I have SOD if I un-tick Backlight how would I go about doing fresh install and seeing as I am rooted shall I backup apps and accounts via TB first.

Base on above user report, no point to do fresh install.

Yes, can't use adapt lighting condition without optimized backlight.

But I was wondering why I never got SOD, only because never used adapt. So "Optimized backlight" isn't the only option the make the phone bug.

Ya, base on what you had describe, means the adapted to lighting conditions & optimized backlight is problematic.

Sony really not solved anything as I describe in .526 compare with previous .510 firmware...

For those not understand what I written previously, here is a better understandably way to bring out the Fake Hang & SOD symptoms.

Set as screenshot below:
Immediate Power Off the Phone.
Turn on the Phone, you will notice after SONY logo, they is a fake hang, it take sometimes before continue.
The phone will became 100% brightness after success load to main launcher. You can only change the screen brightness after un-tick adapt to lighting conditions and move the slider.
Immediate click the power button to lock the screen. SOD (Screen Of Dead) appear.
