General Android 12 update: 61.1.A.2.211 [Information, bugs and Reports] - Sony Xperia 1 III

I have created a separate thread because the previous one for Android 12 has already become too long to continue posting about the news and bugs of the new update that came out today: 61.1.A.2.211
Please report any news and if the bugs that were already known have been fixed. Thank you!

Serious bug carried over - If you lock the screen while running an app that has permission to keep the screen on, the phone will randomly unlock without authentication. It may be triggered by motion, a screen tap, or by itself. The app doesn't even need to ask to keep the screen on. Bug seems to only happen when Ambient Display is completely off.

Thnkyu for the Help awesome job well-done

Have you updated or installed from scratch with Xperia Companion?

F****** SONY Xperia China Team!!
the first released price of Xperia1 III in China is from CNY¥8499(INC. VAT),that's USD$1339!!!
but the Chinese Xperia 1 III/xq-bc72 is still on Android 11(61.0.A.23.20)today while others xperia 1 III gets the second Android 12 update!!
sorry,i'm so sad。。。

After the update to "61.1.A.2.211" I cannot make a phone call lasting 1 minute. Usually the phone call drops in 10 seconds.
Telephone operator = TIM Italy
Turned off and on again, the phone has resumed working properly

I'm currently running 61.1.A.1.149 RU variant on XQ-BC72. The phone crashes everytime I use Android Auto / Google Maps. I tried different head units. The map runs, however it doesn't update the turn by turn notifications, and after unplugging the USB cable, phone crashes.

I started from a clean 61.1.A.2.211 "repair" XQ-BC52
I had a crash in sony camera app that occurred in a most needed moment, the app got stuck for a while completely unresponsive and after a few seconds restarted. Didn't happen again.

A.2.211 is not yet available for XQ-BC72 yet. Once it's out, I will have a clean install for sure.

For now, the only problem that I have found with this update is when I connect my bluetooth headset (WH-1000MX4) there are no notifications or sound of the messages to the headset or the phone. The Google Assistant does not work from the headphones either (and I have already done a repair with the Xperia Companion from scratch and in the headphones app too).

even after this update i still experience some bugs that came with android 12 - that drive me nuts. the worst has to do with the notification bar: sometimes the first swipe down after receiving a notification pulls the quick menu down all the way and not half way. that happens mostly after unlocking the device. another problem has to do with the youtube-app. when playing a video and scrolling through comments or other video suggestions at the same time, the scrollling begings to stutter. when no video is playing, scrolling is absolutely smooth. can anybody confirm - or even better, are there any solutions? thank you for your help

thank you. that is so strange. i even did a software repair via sony companion - and the bug still exists...

Yes, i know what you mean. I have it too. Though, i never have the 120 hz mode on.
I also have the 5 III so im used to the better battery life thats why.
I think closing the youtube app and reopening it fixes that

Another to the list (reported in the Sony community too):
Google Photo APP won't play videos.
Trying to open any 4K or HDR video with Google Photos (the default app gallery) makes the app to freeze, and then you can not play any type of video. Solved only by restarting the phone.

Bugs
-----------------------
Please star and confirm it there if you can to get this item noticed:
1. Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
2. Settings force close if you have evernote installed and click on its icon in settings and clicking the Evernote account
I always wanted to reserve..

Confirmed..
Hey developers.. Would you consider this an Android problem or a developers app not compatible with 4.4 problem?
I would report this to the app developer. He will be able to file a more detailed bug report if not fix it himself
I cannot drag and drop app icon from App drawer to the Home screen. Every time I try this I just load the app. It doesn't matter for how long I'm holding the app icon. Maybe this is due to the low battery, which is doubtful. Reboot doesn't help. Please kindly let me know if I'm not the only one with such weirdness.
This is definitely some malfunction since per Android 4.4 User Guide (http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/android/android_ug_42/Android-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf):
To add an app icon to a Home screen:
1. Go to the Home screen where you want to place the app.
2. Touch theAll Apps icon.
3. Swipe from right to left, if necessary, to find the app you want.
4. Touch & hold the app until the Home screen appears, slide it into place, and lift your finger
Edit:
Found out that this only happens when the device is plugged with USB cable. Maybe this is a feature not a bug...

styckx,
Just a small suggestion for the bug list. Rather than have a raw URL link please make the subject title the URL link. For example the first bug:
Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
In this way your list will be is easier to scan. Thanks for creating this thread.

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to 4.4 that your device is staying awake? Seems to be caused by Android system. It doesn't sleep anymore and it's draining my battery because of this. Anyone found out what the problem is? I read on another forum that it's being caused by the Google Keyboard that is shipped with 4.4, if I change the keyboard with the 1,2,3 layout, will this solve the battery drain issue? This is weird man......
Thanks for the replies!

Haven't had a look at battery stats or anything but I got over 6 hours screen on time yesterday, so I can't say i've got a problem with battery life
Here's a screenshot I made. To verify it, I disabled the keyboard for a moment, and indeed, the device went to sleep. I then re-enabled the keyboard and again the device won't sleep! Without use I lost 5% of my battery in just 30 minutes. Anyone knows how I can update the keyboard with the newest version?
I think I solved the problem. I turned off Hotword detection under Google Now settings, and then Voice. Seems to have done the trick! Now when the screen is switched off the device goes to sleep. This is weird though, it should switch off when the screen is off but it doesn't! So, I think this is a legitimate bug that needs fixing! Can someone give this a try and report back if this solution helped?

Well, more than 20 hours later and looks like turning off Hotword detection solved the battery drain issue.....

[Q] some issues with latest version

i have some issues since the last sony update (andoid 4.4.4)
first, there is no 1080p option in youtube anymore. i found some threads, stating this is a general google problem. is that correct? and is there still no fix for this?
second, i am using the original sony cover. initially, closing the cover deactivated the screen. now, the screen stays active and i have to manually switch it off every time.
i already tried to restart the tablet. factory reset would be the very last option i'd want.
thank you
edit: just found another thread, i am not the only one with the cover problem. sorry, didn't search enough.
Only issue i have since update is when I'm surfing Web tablet will reboot for no reason not sure why have just rest using Sony soft ware on laptop so fingers crossed
Martin
There is a your tube xposed module that claims to enable high resolutions on the youtube app. Didn't work for me though. Maxed out at 720p. Tried complely removing and reinstalling youtube app, but it still won't go higher than 720p.

Hm, it's been sitting on "sending bootloader" for a while now. Should I be worried?

Welp, doing it over on a different port and cable seems to have handled it.
Flashed it.
Might be placebo but it seems much smoother.
Also the recent bug is fixed and the toggles in the Account Sync have been changed.
Images flashed......"optimizing app 98 of 154" so first 5.1 boot should be soon.
Anybody tested this bug?

What about wifi performance and the audio bug wile/straight after charging/docked?
I don't understand what the bug is. I never experienced it before, but I can try to replicate it in 5.1 if you explain what I am supposed to do clearly.

What I got is, sometimes when starting the N10 while charging, there is no sound at all, and I have to reboot the N10 without charging to get the sound back.
I tried with 5.1 and so far, 5-6 times, no bug, but as I said is only happening sometimes before...
Audio Bug Squashed?
It looks like 5.1 has fixed the audio bug. It has for me at least.
Anyone experience lag when pulling the notification tray on the home screen?

Using the default Launcher3, not really. The Google Launcher lags when pulling down the tray, and lags all other animations for that matter. It always has since 4.4, but I put up with it because I like the GEL. It doesn't lag anywhere else thankfully, so it's your call.
On March 10th I did a factory image update to 5.1 but did not wipe user data on both my Nexus 10 and 5.. At least for me, this is the best version of Lollipop I've experienced.
My Nexus 10 was more stable than my Nexus 5 on any 5.0.x release but it seems that all the issues I'd been experiencing are resolved. On 5.0.x my Nexus 5 experienced the memory leak causing UI slow downs, odd reboots, total freezes needing power cycles and frequent disconnects of both WiFi and my cell network.
Android 5.1.0 did break the K9 email reader but that was fixed this morning and Jota+ SMB support currently is not functioning. On the Nexus 10 my battery stats still does not update always showing 100% charge even when its been off the charger for hours. Its been like that for a long time including with KitKat.
I am rooted and use a number of app beta versions including Nova Launcher, GMD Gesture Control and GMD Auto Hide Software keys, Viper4Android and they all worked before and after the OS update. That is a little surprising as previous Lollipop 5.0.x updates had broken more apps when they were first released. For the first time in a long time MX Player Pro still worked after an OS upgrade.
This was what the Lollipop release should have been. I'm happy especially as my Nexus 5 is as reliable as it was with KitKat.
That's great. Smooth
My 5.02 Nexus got an OTA to 5.1 last night (I'm in the UK). Everything seems fine and I am really happy that I have a tablet that is still supported.

Is anyone getting a screen freeze? Basically the screen just freezes but the unit seems OK ie it's not a system crash. It needs resetting to work again.

Sometimes, but always related with Chrome playing videos.
Hi.
I have narrowed it down to when i bring up google search with the swipe up gesture. Once on google search the screen becomes unresponsive. But a can reboot by pressing the power button and choosing 'reboot now'. I may try and reinstall it.
This only started happening with 5.1.

Video Camera Not working after update to B330

After updating to PLK-UL00C675B330, the final build of Marshmallow, the video camera is not working. As soon as I start the Video Camera, I get a message that Com.google..... is using the microphone and Camera is not able to record audio. And then the recording stops after 6 seconds. On playing back that 6 seconds video, I do see that sound is captured (though fainter than expected).
Any solutions / ideas please ? Any of you also facing the same issue ?

Probably due to Google now. Go to Google now settings and deactivate 'from any screen' option. I think it should work.

It´s not the MM final build. It´s written everywhere. Still have a decent amount of bugs.
Try to clear the cache of Google apps and camera as while you´re into it.
Battery problems
B330 needs an update
Fast charging is no more available.
Now it's taking years to get charged.
Battery is draining too quickly.
However on the brighter side
UI is fast and snappier.

Fingerprint problem
After the update, the fingerprint scanner sometimes doesn't respond or has delayed response while recognizing the fingerprint and while notification slide down and recent apps gesture . Anyone facing the same or has a solution to this please reply?

Though after the marshmallow update the fingerprint scanner has become abit slower than before it has never been unresponsive. I'll suggest you to delete your previous finger print scans and set them again. The update has even enabled the option of unlocking the apps we choose through fingerprint id which I guess wasn't there before.
Rest assured I seriously feel there would be an update to fasten the responsiveness as well.
The worst part of the update is the removal of live moving themes which was one of the best features of the phone.

Yeah even i faced the same issue.
Its only the second time it is recognizing tge fingerprint once its been locked fot fee seconds.
Battery is taking almost 2.15hrs to charge which used to take 1.15 in previous version.
I reached the honor forum they said things are bring looked into,which would be rectified in follow on update,which would surely take time i believe.

The latest software and firmware versions for the Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC52) XperiCheck.com checks the Sony servers every 5 minutes to always display the latest information.

Anyone received it already and can share feedback? Knowing sony only copy paste of security patch from Google but who knows?
Stubborn sony still does not share release notes! <angry>
Got it yesterday, no issues, but I haven't noticed any obvious changes either.
On previous version, I've had a black notification bar stick to the top of game screen a few times, no reoccurrences of that so far, but am not convinced it's fixed yet.
Now generally available in UK - was only for carrier versions previously I understand. Only change I can detect is October security update. Shame Sony never do a change log

Looks like a restart fixed it!
Touch and navigation vibration is so buggy. One restart it works, another restart it doesn't work and another restar it works. I think it is time for Sony to fix this. Anyway that is my problem with touch and navigation vibration. After this software update it works but we will see if they fixed this..

The clock app is updated through the play store by google, not by sony. I had the new design before this new sony update.
ok, sorry
The XQ-BC62 got this today and I can't find anything that changed except for a security update. It's a huge plus if Sony has automated security patches, but there's a lot of unfinished work on this phone that I'd like to see addressed. Start fixing carrier support!
Alot of ppl are saying heat fixed but mines still gets warm
The Photo Pro and Cinema Pro apps run cool now. The phone gets warm, but hot, if I run a video transcoder.
It seems to have a new bug with tap-to-wake.

Yea it better on chinese ROM for me. I removed all the badiu crap and it close to stock than ever.
Word of advice. Do not change anything in the default phone setting >>> *#*#4636#*#* this will cause the mobile network setting to fc and only way out or to fix is starting from scratch with new flasher.
