There'll hopefully be a cheaper model, like the Neo is ~€100 cheaper but has almost the same specs.

Do you think this is how our ICS update will look like?
[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
I dont think thats ics its gingerbread from what I can tell. And yh neo is cheaper but its rubbish I hate it, so fat and chunky. The only thing I like about neo is the front camera I was really surprised how good the quality was.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
I think ICS will look like the new TrackID, search for it in the market.

But what font is it. I want to know :'(

my opinion:

looks good isnt it?

But they better keep arc design with front facing camera and better material

and call it xperia arc 2nd gen. :D

Is that a transparet frame what is at the bottom of the handset. personally i dont like it i prefer my arc desingn lets hope this is a prototype version and finally launch a better look product. and about the performance i dont think se will dissapoint us this time
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
Yupper sony went from sleek sexy to boring boxie!
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
my personel and honnest opinion as an arc owner :

pros

----

+ larger screen then arc, better larger resolution

+ specs better than arc (procesor, camera, etc)

+ love the new UX

cons

----

- plastic material i can tolerate, but cheap-lookin plastic paint job..

- they didn't even paint the "xperia" sign in the bottom, wt#..

- it's not sexy like arc.. like someone already mention, too thick and boxy

- what's with the cheap lookin plastic transparent thing in the buttom ?!

- the large speaker is on the middle now, near the camera. this is where the arc design shines. the location of the large speaker of the arc is on the edge. the arc design enhance the sound when you put the phone facing up while put it on a flat surface (table/floor/etc).

suggestions

-----------

> gradient color paint, like on arc

> paint the xperia sign for crying out loud >.<

> make it less boring, like adding curves and stuff, like the arc for example

> replace the cheap lookin plastic transparent thing with something diferent, more transparent, glass maybe, i dunno.

well, that's my opinion, feel free to comment :cool:

As someone living in a warm, moist country I actually appreciate the matte finish. And I really dig the angular design. However, I still think that Panasonic's upcoming smartphone looks better, both in terms of design and quality of materials (at least judging from the render), and it's waterproof and dustproof as well.

[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
so nice!!!!!!!!!!! but I prefer Nozomi
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Nozomi needs a better CPU than the rumoured 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon.

Even though it's slower, the ST-Ericsson chip that Nypon will supposedly be using is better IMO - it has a far better GPU than anything Qualcomm have on the market just now.

SE need to push forward from the strong base they have built up with the 2011 Xperia range and part of that has to be to avoid the temptation to cut corners on the hardware (that goes for CPUs and also leaving out standard features like memory card slots etc).

Samsung have shown us the way make Android a success and any other OEM that has any sort of ambition needs to at least rival them if not push further forward. The fact that Sony (Ericsson) are looking at using at least some of ST-Ericsson's SoCs is definitely a good sign but a better sign would be for the next flagship device to use the A9600 NovaThor SoC - it looks to be better than anything any other chip manufacturer has lined up in the next 12 months.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
They should implement microSDHC slots, even if the devices have 16 or 32 gig inside, could be a bit low and what should we do with our 32gn sd cards then?

All my data would be gone then in case of a brick, no sd slot is a no go and I'd like to see better build quality again like on X10, cracks on a 400€ devices aren't the thing you really want like we have it on our Arcs.
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Having now seen some better pics of the Nozomi I'll have to hold it in the hand before deciding whether or not this now becomes my next phone. While the transparent bar looks good initially they could have saved a little length then for me it might have been perfect, so will decide when I get it in the hand.

[Xperia Arc General] ishishkin:
+1! Agree with all... About glass - it should be some that looks like glass but unbreakable))))

To others - I do not know what you like, it is your choice, but I am sure Nozomi looks like a brick!

About Nypon - IT IS BEAUTIFUL! Great change for an Arc...

About performance talking...what do you want from smartphone??? It is a phone and no more...+ a little Navi, music, video, web and entertainment...it is not a lap top. I think thy can offer more power for things like HTC flyer or some...and for me ArcS power is more than enough mentioning a screen size and the fact it is a phone... But most important thing - it is perfectly beautiful white! :D
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
To the people dismissing the looks of the Nyp(h)on, I take it you've never tried a Ray?

If anything, it's a nicer phone than the Arc, the build quality is top notch.

Screen size has nothing to do with it, screen resolution is key.

You mention the HTC Flyer, well if the rumours are correct the Nozomi will have a higher-resolution screen than the Flyer, so why would it not need more processing power?

hmm, this reminds me of another brick-looking phone.. err, iphone..

so, nozomi has :

> 16gb or 32gb of rom

> *still* 1 gb of ram

> uses a microSIM slot (like iphone, ipad)

> and you can't change battery, if something bad happens :P

hmm... i'll surely choose 32gb if i'm gonna buy this. my 8gb microsd arc is already full now, with hd games and music videos :D

like someone already mentioned, if something bad happens to the phone, the worse scenario is we will lost all data from the phone :(
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
More importantly guys lets hope they retain the idea of letting us unlock the bootloader and allow us to use custom roms.

Seems little harder to do with no SD card slot, also what if you need pull the battery for a reset ?
[Xperia Arc General] zonetrooper90:
If the phone is freezing, it will likely turn off when you hold the power for 8-10 seconds... just like the iPhone and Nokia N8...
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Or other Android devices with non-removable batteries like tablets.
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:

I haven't heard of anyone else having a problem similar to this, earlier today, my touchpad started having issues where it would say to reset it then reset itself. Other problems like upon reset Bluetooth and wireless being disabled and a reminder from the calender. Under device info it shows no webos account some of the time.

WebOS doctor fails to fix it. It seems that no data can be modified, it appears to have been but nothing actually occurs. If I delete something, even format the usb storage area of the touchpad, nothing gets erased. Nothing can be written either to it, the data appears to be written or copied over but doesn't actually.

I hadn't installed anything in the past week, it just started acting up all of a sudden when I was running ubuntu (via chroot). Other than that I can't think of anything else that could have caused it.

I'm at a loss of what to do... anyone have any ideas? Anything that could help me fix this would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I can tell from the diag info your flash went bad. Unless you get it replaced you're more or less screwed.
[TouchPad General] 59672:
Maybe this is some way of god telling me to get the transformer prime, sucks that I just sold my other hp touchpad last weekend.

It still works just not having anything save really sucks. Maybe I'll just screw up the memory a bit via high voltage and/or mildly high current and try to send it in to HP.... a horrible thing to do but memory shouldn't be failing after two months. Only reason I would consider screwing up the memory is to get rid of personal files and so that they can't tell I installed warranty voiding software.
[TouchPad General] jlove:
had the same issue. your ram is is locked, due to an security process that will protect your ram. look at my treat i figured out many things, but ended up shipping the touchpad to hp. they did replace it. i had screwed with it partitions and everything else, but hp did repair it without any questions.

good luck,

Unplugged at almost 7am and with about 150 texts, 10-15 phone calls, and data use throughout the day I've achieved almost 15 hours today..

Pretty stoked. Display, phone calls, on OS took up about 20% of the battery each. With about only the last 4-5 hours connected to wifi.

So it is possible guys!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deron Baker:
And how did you achieve this? Smart Actions, screen brightness low, no 4g radio?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
Please share your secret. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xszydx:
Sorry for the delay guys. I forgot I posted this haha. Well if you keep those actions around the 20% mark that I mentioned you will average 12-15 hours.

The screen kills a ton of battery. So lower the brightness and minimalize use until you need it. Not even turning it on to check the time.

One action that I noticed that uses a ton of battery in the background is the social location app.. of you don't force stop or freeze the app it sucks about 8-14% battery throughout the day
[Android General] anujkhurana:
PRESS THANKS IF YOU LIKE THE POST!! :D :D

The news comes straight in the form of two posts over on Google’s struggling social network Google+: one by a Google engineer who talks about how graphics work on Android and the other by a 3rd year software engineering student in reply to the first post. Both are pretty lengthy and can get pretty technical, so we’ll try simplifying it as much as we can.

We’ll start off with Google engineer Dianne Hackborn’s post. She states that hardware acceleration – i.e. using the GPU, instead of CPU alone, to render the user-interface – has existed on Android since version 1.0 for things such as sliding the notification bar, pop-up dialogues etc. Full hardware acceleration only came with Android 3.0 Honeycomb and, unsurprisingly, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich actually has the same kind of hardware acceleration and this won’t necessarily sweeten things up.

Hackborn states that hardware acceleration “is not all full of win” since it takes away a lot of RAM when used for devices like Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus with OpenGL. Each process takes about 8MB of RAM and “isn’t worth it” considering the minimal effect it has on how “smooth” the UI looks after implementing it. So yes, hardware acceleration certainly helps, but it takes far too much processing power for it to be implemented to all parts of the UI.

She ends her post on how full, complete, A-to-Z hardware acceleration that results in 60 frames-per-second graphics is simply not possible, even with powerful chips like the Tegra 2.

Now, the question arises: why is it that even seemingly outdated phones like the iPhone 3GS offer a smoother UI than the latest Android smartphones? iOS uses hardware acceleration and that too on weaker hardware. How does Apple’s engineers manage to pull it off, then? Why can’t Google do the same?

That has been answered by Andrew Munn – software engineering student, ex-intern at Google and future intern with Windows Phone 7 team at Microsoft – who states that UI rendering processes in iOS occur with dedicated threads with real-time priority whereas on Android, UI rendering processes occur along with the main thread with normal priority. Whenever an iOS devices detects touch, it stops other processes and focuses all attention to rendering the UI. Android devices don’t do this, instead general processing and UI rendering occurs concurrently which results in choppy UI.

OMG....now developers...any help!! :P :P
[Android General] disclaimernotice:
First of all, it's all in our minds that gingerbread and ICS are all so much better than their predecessors. In reality, if you want 99.99% lag-free, just flash froyo 2.2.1 onto your Galaxy S. I've used JVQ, JVR,JVS, JVT, L41D's ICS and a bunch of custom roms, but the most lag free of all roms was Froyo ZSJPK.
[Android General] Drift spunk:
So full acceleration will be in ics OK.
[Android General] krazykat:
No... The article said they will try to compensate for it with ram. Hardware acceleration well be turned off if it in fact makes the phone slower.
[Android General] k|zer:
To my mind, the Android way is the only real multitasked way (if what the intern says is correct...)

Sounds rather silly to stop all background tasks if you touch the screen?
[Android General] satishnramteare:
Dude which background process is using your GPU??
[Android General] mrs1986:
It sounds correct, and like some one says, its really random, i mean... you may use a GB and is super smooth, or an ICS and everyone claim it to be super smooth, and for me, is not, and is not by any mean... lets hope, in some ways this things to be corrected at some point...
[Android General] moonbeamsyndicate:
Indeed, but obviously Apple obviously value smooth UI above strict task scheduling... personally I don't care for style over substance... But if it's THAT important to someone buying a phone for it to look far better than it actually functions, they buy an iPhone! :p
[Android General] absro:
I LOLd... then I LOLd again. Then stopped, had a deep breath and LOLd for the 3rd time.

So iOS is better because it gives priority to UI rendering, meaning that if you touch the screen like you're possessed, you get low framerate, and that sounds ok to you.

Ok.

That's a different approach, and may I remind you that multitasking was added (well, kinda...) to iOS in... like... 4.0? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS#Multitasking
[Android General] dadyal:
next gen phones with 2 gb ram
[Android General] theos0o:
What are you talking about?

There are no fps drops.

Actually iOS (and WP7) is incredibly smooth, unlike android.

And to be honest that's a huge advantage for those OSes.

It just feels better.

Android seems to be targeting quantity rather than quality.

At least for now.
[Android General] disclaimernotice:
The only reason android lag is because of low ram. My galaxy s lags when on JVT and ICS because the free ram is always less than 120mb, hence the cpu has to constantly close and reopen background processes. But on froyo 2.2.1, I always have more than 150mb of free ram and it never lags.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

To me, the only true multitasker that doesn't sleep your programs without your permission or keep programs running when you actually want to exit them are symbian and maemo. At least on those two, when you exit an app, it really exits and when you minimize an app, it really minimizes.
[Android General] sargasso:
On a multi (core) cpu only bandwidth should limit performance. Using a proper kernel / scheduler it is possible to dedicate a certain amount of processing power to any thread. Why not to the ui?

For me 2.3.6 is the most stable stock rom I have ever used. And after adding tweaks and semaphore on deodexed jvx its just better. It dances on my fingers but still their are things which are not as smooth as they should be or can be. I don't think it's is that smooth, windows 7 is smoother(ios Is also pretty smooth but after using them personally I found that wp7 is smoother) . But whatever it is, android is just getting better and better so no problem. Regarding cm9 or ics ports, they are not as good as some people claim. They are good but the best ics will be from samsung. Still I am pretty sure cm 9 will be very good once it goes into nightly.

[Android General] jose.celestino:
Yes. agreed. Can't imagine where that *NEVER* on the op subject came from.
[Android General] Whyzor:
Makes sense, the iOS has the priority more right than Android. UI interactions are a small percentage of what happens on a phone most of the time (from hours down to the milliseconds time frame), so when it does happen it should be given high priority, especially considering how it affects over 'feel' of the device. Engineers tend to give too much emphasis on technical capability numbers while most normal people talk about how something feels. I bet the Google Engineers wanted to brag about how many MIPS it could do compared to iOS, but it doesn't really matter to most users.

I don't believe iOS or Android should stop ALL background processes and just refresh the UI at 120fps. It should give priority when the first UI interaction happens, then determine whether it can free up some resources (if it's available) to go back to background processing. Kind of like, yelling at someone to pay attention, "Hey! something interesting is about to happen..." but then allowing them to get back to what they were doing if they get bored. This hybrid model should be more possible with high end hardware nowadays.
