@pbhat!
no probs but sorry,even i received the 6.2.B.0.200,my bad!its the buggy JB itself. FullHD vids does lag and there is a blue tint when taking photos with Flash.Dont have any issues with WiFi though.
Check this http://xperiaguide.com/2013/0[....]6-2-b-0-211-firmware-ftf-file/
says
Same 685 MB RAM as it was in 6.2.B.0.200 firmware.
Wi-Fi bug fixed, connecting very fast now 
1080P HD video recording still lags.
NO HDR mode in camera settings.
GPS issue bug fixed
2G Data connectivity issue is still there.
Battery draining at same 2x speed more faster as compared to ICS.
Basically what users are now reporting that, SONY has not fixed any bugs except for that Wi-Fi issue and GPS. All bugs ares till present in this update. :/ We are checking the battery drain issue now and Wi-Fi also again. If to sum up Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.211 firmware update only FIXED Wi-Fi bug, nothing more, every bug from Jelly Bean 6.2.B.0.200 firmware is still present, overall it’s again a disappointing update from Sony

strange.
i seem to have the same or slightly better battery life as compared to ICS. I haven't tried HD video recording yet, but I'll give that a try later.
I wasn't expecting HDR so *shrugs*
Haven't had any GPS issues and i use it often.
Don't have issues with 2G data or WiFi connectivity at all.
The only issue i have been having is the voice command sometimes craps out and won't work. Upon pressing the microphone button, it will immediately give and error and say it couldn't detect anything and to retry. This is true across all apps that use voice/sound input like keyboard and trackID. A restart of the phone fixes everything and the problem has only happened twice since updating.
Otherwise, I have been loving my JB update. Love the small apps!!

Battery Life Im yet to check..anyway ive put my 3G ON through out now unlike before to see if the Extended Standby Mode actually works..and i guess it is.FullHD vid is laggy,no doubt,interface is fresher but im still having my same old laggy speed when opening the Dailer .Data & WiFi seems to be working well too,small apps are nice but would like to enlarge the Calculator a bit  . Overall interface speed seem to be slightly better too.Really expected the Stamina Mode though

Yep,over all i feel its a good update. Nice touches to make it feel & look fresh,few nice features and some of the bugs have cleared off..esp the dialer is more responsive now! phew.
FullHD recording bug is there though...swipe to camera works for me, though a tad slow.
STAMINA Mode kinda works too..ive had my DATA connection always ON and battery responds better.Overall a slight improvement in battery life,i could say.

Just did a clean install of FW .200 (stock 4.1.2 JB) and my phonne its better than ever!
Very smooth, very quick in all tasks, just fall in love agin for the stock Sony luncher after 6 months using Nova Luncher (the most close to stock android i get)
No crashes what so ever, cam from lockscreen opens very fast, reboot the phone its about 100% faster than before!
Battery for now its very good, in normal use i am getting for now 36% after 1 day 9 hours what its for me very good, normaly i have this after 12 hours! And im using 50% brightness, when in the past i use 40% max!
Cant find any bug rather than 1080 video... thats very lag even with stabilization option turn off!!
I m very sorry that thid will not get futher than 4.1.2 JB because i will love to have lockscreen widgets for example!
Photos are still big noise in every conditions (only with very good sun light isnt noise)

Received 6.2.B.1.96
Change log according to Xperia Blog
" For camera, we’ve…
addressed an abnormality in the white balance
improved the “Quick Launch” button functionality
smoothed out (1080p) video recording, minimizing lag
For apps, services & data, we’ve…
streamlined Exchange Active Sync, particularly when running an encrypted set-up
boosted connection stability for 2G network data
ensured preferences on 3rd party apps remain after reboot – not a common problem, but we understand it can be a frustrating one!
For battery, we’ve…
economised power consumption, and heat dispersion for longer life
corrected juice level notifications, especially when running low
And for hardware & UI, we’ve…
introduced a home key long-press to launch Google Now, and a double-press to launch Recent Apps
made sure the volume “up” button is fully responsive"

I too got the new firmware update today morning...
My wife's phone used to have a pathetic battery life when 2G is turned on... Will have to check the same post-update. One thing I observed that the 2G data connection is immediately established on turning on the Mobile Data. Earlier it used to take a lot of time.

I updated my 2 days ago...
...for now everthing seems fine except battery life! Lost 4% from 100% in 2 hours but i need to take more time to see if this its normal!
Everthing else seems very fine, its faster than ever, no lag, no home redrawing,very smooth transitions from app do app, camera its the same thing.. not very good with lot of compression as allways was!
For me this is a great phonne now with a very stabe 4.1.2 JB i think it will be last update from Sony! Mybe in 2 years from now i'll try to put some custom ROM with 4.2 ou 4.3 JB but from now its a great phonne! |
