Just receive CPH1919_11_F.45
Only september security update
F.45 Available on unlocked Australian models.
Not available yet for the Netherlands...
Any bug fixes in this release? Hopefully the very annoying bug in Desktop Mode which happens with apps in fullscreen: if the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen a few times, the phone reboots immediately......

Hello All,
I just got a new XPERIA E4 (Model E2104) from CLARO RD, its running on 4.4.4 KitKat , 24.0.A.2.12 Firmware and 3.4.67 Kernel. The thing is i have encountered a lot of problems and would like to know if its possible to update to a newer Firmware version (24.0.A.4.14 at least) in hopes of fixing them. I downloaded FlashTool and XperiFirm, and got the latest firmware from the XperiFirm database for this model (24.0.A.5.14) but im unsure of the flashing process, since ive never done it before. I went through some tutorials and saw that there was a bundling process involved but apparently the E4 is not supported since it doesn't show on the devices list for bundling that the program has, also saw another method that was done directly without the bundling but im unsure of what to check and what not to on the wipe options.
Problems include:
-Phone shutdowns and restarts automatically if left untouched for random intervals, sometimes it does it in short intervals ending in a "no screen lock position" (power button doesn't lock the screen and screen doesn't "sleep"), having to restart the phone by long pressing the power button and selecting Restart option to fix it.
-WIFI stops receiving data and stops working after extended streaming on YouTube (somewhere from 15 to 30 minutes), shutting down and turning back ON the WIFI doesn't work, Restarting the phone fixes this also.
-Doesn't allow 420p quality on streams either nor HD (but i think it doesn't support 720p on the E4 anyways).
-Battery doesn't last as much as its supposed to, screen sometimes uses 70% power on low brightness and nothing open.
I replaced the first phone i got for a new one and still having the same problems, so i figure it must be software related or a faulty line of phones.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
I had a small OTA update on Christmas Day ( 12MB ) which I installed ( the Security Patch level went to December 1st, possibly build g935fxxu1bplb ? ) - however afterwards I started to get complete screen corruption ( grey digital snow) when waking the phone back up after it had been left for 30 minutes. Once the screen was corrupted you had to power the phone down and it would eventually reboot OK.
I did a factory wipe and reset in the hope that would fix the screen corruption it but the same thing happened then even with no apps or other software installed.
After the factory reset It then progressed to corruption of the screen all the time to the point where the screen is black and 'off' and doesn't work at all now.
Anyone else having any problems with the Dec 1st Security update similar to this?
Was this a carrier update? Which?
It's unlocked so update should not have been carrier specific and nothing appeared different afterwards other than the increasingly frequent screen corruption. Currently used with 3 UK.
I also installed the 12Mb update a few days ago (unlocked AT) and since then I had 1 issue yesterday during the night:
Phone randomly rebooted and while doing so I had some kind of gray bar at the top of the screen.
Now all is working fine again, let's see...
No updates here, I'm on UK unbranded, still on November security patch...
I updated my (unlocked) handset this morning. No issues so far, but will report back here if there are any.

Ok dropped phone off with a Samsung Service Centre to take a look today - having seen pictures of the corrupted screen they are expecting to have to swap the main system board as it no longer powers up.
Got this update too yesterday but via the Samsung Windows application. Not noticed any issues to date.
Just to update - have got my phone back from the Cambridge Samsung Service Centre, no details on the fix with the packaging but I assume as it was a new system board as that was what was discussed when I dropped it off.
Setting the phone back up - having installed the apps, it has just re-applied the 12MB December update .... but I've just seen a corrupted screen ( Rotating portrait -> Landscape ).
It didn't crash the phone but the fact I've seen it again is worrying. Going to be speaking the the SSC tomorrow about this - and confirm if the repair was a new mainboard, or if they've just reflashed the original one.
Noticed, after the Oreo update that when the phone is charging, some network functions doesn't work.
For example, if I install a app on Google Play, the "Downloading" indicator inside Google Play spins endlessly, I do NOT get the download indicator inside notifications.
As soon as I unplug charger, the apps instantly start downloading.
Same happens with certain other push functions, but the google play installation/update is the easiest way to try it.
Update: G950FXXU1CRAP/G950FOXM1CRAP/G950FXXU1CRAP (1378,65 MB)
Any idea to workaround or any idea to fix the bug?
Since Samsung have pulled all Oreo updates, perhaps that's one of the issues, they are going to fix. Needless to say the CRAP firmware is both no longer available nor will it be the final release.
So I guess wait for the next update & see what happens
Just wanted to update that on August 2018 I had accidental touches, ghost touches and so on.
for example, Youtube minimizes, chrome refreshes a page, suddenly screen opens and so on.
When updated the September update - it seems that they solved the issues (even though they didn't state it)
hopes that it helps for others.

Hi After updating my phone to Android 11, UI3.
last week I did the update and now I have had 3 screen freezes. turns on, volume responds, long press power ok, but it just doesn't respond to touch.
hard reboot fixes it.
it happens with lockscreen and without lockscreen (last app used). anyone had this issue.?
Regardless of software issue or hardware, this is not acceptable samsung
no root, no nothing here.
