4.4.2 cam drivers - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm struggling to fix my camera flashlight problem to no avail.
Back in the good old days of build 17.1.2.a.0.314 my flashlight would work flawless.
now adays with recent builds the flashlight can be ON but can't be turned OFF until reboot.
Is there a way to have old cam drivers back in my Z2 or a different solution?
I trust the xda community will help.
waiting for a fix or a hint
Thanks

I think this is a firmware issue which would be addressed by Sony themselves in next update. However, have you tried using any other camera app ?
Quote me in case you expect a reply!
Good Luck

I feel like sony will never address this issue because it's not affecting all phones.
but i certainly hope they do
i have tried google camera and as soon as i tried taking a picture the flashlight was ON and stayed that way with no response at my attempts to turn it off.
tried in safe mode but no luck, i tried clean installs and what not but nothing works.
the only solution was a downgrade to firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 which helped me conclude it's not a hardware issue.
thx for your help

I am afraid Sony is not very good with ironing out bugs and releases their builds prematurely. Have you tried any custom ROM by the way ?

I have not tried any custom rom yet because i wanted to stick to stock only.
what would you recommend as a stable and bug free custom rom with quality camera app?
are there lollipop custom roms with perfect camera app and flashlight toggle?
thanks

Generally the stock provides the best camera quality in Sony mobiles, however, when they are buggy like in your case, you can try other roms like CM12.1 or AOSP or Pac man.
You will need an unlocked boot loader and some know how about flashtool for that.
Also, custom roms and kernels depend on user. Some user want performance but some like me want more battery life,and thus tweak our phones accordingly. Once you get used to custom roms, you hate stock. I move away from stock within 6 hours of a device's purchase. So it depends what you like. My personal favourites are mentioned above .

I'll try CM 12.1 and get back to you.

[Q] Is anyone here using CM11

Just wanted to ask you guys are you using any version of cyanogenmod on your device? Or is it even available for sirius(Z2)? How about the CM11S?
aand yeah desided to ask this here because i didnt find anyone who had installed it on this device (even on youtube).

I use it as my daily driver. My Z2 has been running the CM11 nightlies since the day they were released for the phone. What are you wondering exactly? I just saw the CM11S thread, but I'm not interested in it. If you're wondering, here's the CM11 downloads for the Z2: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=sirius
M9 is out I think. It's the stable version.
Can anyone please tell me whether the active noise cancelling (not only the microphone noise suspension, but also the one that works with the special sony headphones) will still work on Cm? I hate to lose that feature as it's pretty much the only reason why I bought the Z2 over others.

It is already expected that Sony proprietary technologies will not be available on AOSP releases unless Sony decided to release its source codes. There maybe decent alternatives such as x-Loud vs DSP Settings but still not comparable to Sony's current setup.
How is CM on the Z2 now? I've been waiting for awhile to try it out as some people seemed to be having some problems, there was a lot of talk of bugs with it.
Well I've been using CM Nightlies since they came out and I can't go back
CM is faster, you have ART, the sound mixer is allot better, tones of CM themes on the play store... etc...
With stock Sony Rom you have noise cancellation but the sound with those headphones and equalizer is bad I have to say. The X-reality is quite nice but unfortunately only works with the Sony App Album witch I personal don't like.
The only thing that I miss is the camera that in the Stock Sony Rom is better... but for the rest CM rules big time! :good:
How's the battery life on CM11?
Better than stock especially is used with ds battery saver on xposed
Im using the one plus one cyanogenmod ROM for the z2 I love it but it constantly crashes :/

Camera. I had an event to added, needed my camera in top shape, didn't want to take my S4 along. I believe camera still performs best on stock. So dats why
Camera performs exactly the same imo, just doesn't have as many advanced auto modes as stock camera

The difference between the pictures you take in CM and stock is huge. I went back to stock because of this too.

Me too... I would love using CM, but the camera isn't just the same as stock (even on manual mode). Probably CM11 is using old camera drivers?
Recently flashed the M9 snapshot on my Z2 but have been running the nightlies for a while.
Very responsive and snappy usage and comparable battery life to stock (power saver not permitting).
Agree with the others regarding poor camera quality. Fidelity not as high in CM and slower 'shutter speed' than stock which sometimes results in blurry photos.
Otherwise very happy. Will continue using as daily driver.
I hope they can correct camera issues when 314 sources are released.

Flashed M9 release last night and having an issue with data/wifi. When I'm on wifi and either go out of range of wifi or turn off wifi my cellular data doesn't work. It says I have LTE but data will not work until I reboot or toggle airplane mode. Am I missing anything here?
I flashed latest 17.1.2.A.0.314 prior to flashing M9 to get latest baseband. This is on Tmobile LTE.
I have been using it as my daily driver since it was available. The only issues i currently have is that when my phone is docked in the Sony docking cradle thingy and i remove it the screen stays on as-in i have to manually lock/turn off my screen,it doesn't auto-lock. This only happens with the dock not with the normal charger. The second and final issue i have is the lack of the 4K recording feature, but then again that is not an issue for me at all,since 4k is completely pointless for me at the moment.
Apart from the above issues,i LOVE CM11 and will never ever go back to stock.

Yeah, I'm very disappointed. The worst is that this is not happening at all for the OP3 -- there's a vibrant stream of two-way communication with feedback coming in and updates coming out... but with the X there's just this ****ed up silence and indifference. They didn't even try to apologize for taking 4 months to release a half-baked update with just a few fixes...
Useless update...just ignore as OnePlus is ignoring us.
Anyone else facing this issue or not but when I am trying to install OOS 2.2.2 from either team win or from standard recovery it keeps gets failing and deletes my files previously I had rooted Oneplus x and twrp installed I removed root then falashed OOS 2.2.1 but it also didnt bring back recovery so i installed by flashing recovery image using twrp but after tht still no luck and updates keep failing

Incredibly disappointed at the lack of Marshmallow. I saw the update and thought, this is the one! But no.
I just tried attaching the .zip but it's too large.
Phone does not accept update 2.2.2 I want to help
The stock rom is much better regarding mobile data. I had always ridicilous slow transfer speed with CM or AOSB based ROMs.
Also with this ROM you can:
* Use Chromecast -> Mirror your Phone screen on TV
* Use the free speech in whatsapp without any problem
* Improved Camera quality. Not the worse 4k patch noise crap from cyanogenmod which wont work properly. (effects, hdr etc.)
* No LTE problems
But sadly there is still the vibration during call issue. Its such a shame that oneplus is not able to fix that massive bug. Really bad developers there. The X is my first and my last Oneplus phone. I try to sell it but its hard to find an idiot who will buy this. Ebay is full of offers...

Same here! LoL
I tried to sell my OPX too, but no luck! Because people already knew that OnePlus closed all of their "service centers" in Indonesia. The lesson is: Never ever buy a stuff from the unknown Chinese manufacturer without a physical present in your country.
Updated my X to 2.2.2 and after 2 days the most annoying bugs are still present:
1. Lag when I try to wake/unlock my phone
2. The proximity sensor is still buggy (shortcuts opens during the call)
I don't have YouTube lags
The battery consumption seems to be normal
Video camera is way better
Unfortunately I will go back to Hydrogen OS. Disappointed!
The last update is wonderfull. A very stable Rom with smoothness updated. (I'm using it with boeffla kernel and haptic vibration during call is disabled in kernel setting ). The new camera seams to solve the fps issue in video, and photo quality is top notch as it was always been compared to custom roms. Signal is through the roof, download speed is unbeatable. I'm waiting for the mm version. Nice work so far.

btw I wouldn't recommend it, I was trying it and it's preatty buggy and outdated. It doesn't have fm radio and it's using only bottom microphone for video recording (stock 6.0 uses both mics so there is stereo effect). It also doesn't support any new custom kernels because it wasn't updated for ages. The worst thing is that it slows down a lot after few days and you need to reboot. On stock 6.0 with squid kernel the performance drop wasn't that big, I was using it for 30 days without reboot and it was still pretty good.

I don't have any of those problems, except for msybe fm radio but I don't give a crap about that. But, I can flash squid kernel & I don't get performance drops often. So it's literally bug free for me. Maybe you should try flashing it again. After all, bad flashes happen.

My apologies you guys for not getting back earlier. I've been fumigating for bugs.
Those issues you were describing are the exact issues I'm dealing with today on my current ROM a popular CM based true to form option-heavy, stability-light ROM. This is a shame as its been fairly reliable platform for me. The occasional issue that was easily remedied with a reboot, a restore or a reflash. The past few months have been bug after bug for me. Mostly a pesky incompatibility issue with my ROM and OpenGapps.
Its seems all I've been doing lately is testing alternative gapp pkg sources, kernels and mods.
What makes this issue the real tops though is that the ROM I use was just listed as "Official" and "Stable" last month. There may be a weekly update waiting in the basket for me but the basket build server is down.
So....?
Not sure where to go from here. I'll tell you this much though. When I decided to try and root this device 8 months ago I had no idea it involved so much. I can almost write my own svripts, I'm understanding the bugreports I generate and read and i haven't spent this much time in a ToyBox since I was 9.
Lol. I'm not complaining though... I love to learn.
Oh and I still haven't tried the ROM you recommended as of yet. PC seems buggy now too.

Current State of LineageOS 14.1

You can never get full functionality of LG Stock ROM on any custom ROMs.
Even though I have not flashed LOS, I can tell you few things that may not work.
1. Wide Camera
2. IR Blaster
3. Most Probably any friends modules if you own them.
I'm interested in knowing too before I try it. As long it's stable with all cameras working, I'd be fine.

Well, I've been on los for a while now..
-As far as I know NFC is not working (on not using it so no idea, but it seems to drain the battery an not work properly)
-BT works for eg headphones but not for headsets
Charging is still an issue. It is faster now but still not even close to fast charging. An on a 3rd party charter or is ridiculously slow
-the wide angle camera is working but you have to toggle between the cameras to get to it. The auto focus might be a problem, but it is mostly solved I think.
-playing music is sometimes a drag, and can be laggy
-FM radio is non existing, not supported, will probably never be...
Other issues have been solved, other pop up, but since there are weekly updates, that's what it is.
-be careful, root has to be installed separately and if you don't do so, immediately after installing the ROM, you will most likely end up in the famous Twrp bootloop..
Before installing it I'd read at least the last 20 pages in the forum, these should give you an idea... Or go to the fulmics ROM. It is stock based so everything should be working. To my knowledge all the LOS based ROMs share the same issues.

Probably the best performing ROM I've tried!

This is definitely the best ROM I've tried in terms of performance, the best two features in my opinion are the battery and its smoothness.
I don't know if I can share this link without the permission of the Dev but it's so good that I feel more people should know about it.
Congratulations to the developer!

I was on Nougat already so I didn't flash any firmware but you could flash the latest recommended one to be on the safe side.
Hope you like it!

I kept the 7.6.18 firmware I had and it seems ok with this rom. I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't find any root for this device, there's no option to enable it, is this rooted? Also home button on lock screen isn't working, I mean, if I soft touch it nothing happens, hopefully there's some setting to enable it, but couldn't find it.
EDIT: also scrolling thru apps it's kinda laggy, ie Facebook, Instagram, Gmail...

I'm really surprised that yours is laggy, maybe flash the latest firmware 7.8.16.
Also I can wake the phone from the lock screen using the fingerprint sensor!

Yeah, sorry, I have that firmware, I wrote the numbers in the wrong order... I made a clean install, so I don't know why it's laggy. I don't use fingerprint, so I can't unlock the screen without press power button or double tap, which I don't like since I'm used to unlock with soft touch of home button and no fingerprint.. I'll try it for a bit, but without root and these things I don't think I'll keep this one on my phone. Thank you anyway for your replies.

OK, I understand.
For me this ROM gives me the best battery life, I play Clash Royale every day and I feel I get the best performance and battery with this rom. I've tried JDCTeam and I got worse battery.
Anyway, we are lucky to have such a variety of roms to choose from!

For sure, having a lot of roms let's you decide which one to pick up according to your own needs and we're lucky with mi5!
I'd like to have a slight better battery too on JDCTeam rom, but it's has just what I need in other terms, so I think I'll stick with it, even if this rom has also the nice split screen feature which I don't think it's available on JDCTeam..
Hey , where did you find the rom ? Is it official ? ty

I don't have any information other than the link from AFH as provided!
They created a thread in the ROMs section now, probably going to try it.
