yea i know there are more important thing to fix atm.. but this thing works for lots of ppl out there lol that's the thing that botheres me :| and they've done basically the same thing they've done yet doesnt work for me and a few out there. its bad luck i guess rofl!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I think the reason was already made mention by Sony when they released the beta. They mentioned that face unlock was not working in this beta. So obviously flashing the face unlock APk and its still not working means there is something else going on that is preventing it from working via the apk alone. It'll happen...just might have to give it time....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fat_boy555:
U could try cm9 fxp rom. Using it now..face. unlock works like a beautiful. Have to flash gaps though
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttiimm:
try flashing the latest GApps WITHOUT the faceunlock addon. it worked for me, i was like you, i had flashed all the ics beta roms includein stock, jj's hybrid, kak11, etc until i tought i would give just flasing the gapps without the faceunlock addon a try and it worked
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seagheart89:
tried different gapps.. none of them could get facelock working for me

i just don't get why it doesn't work for some... we have exactly the same hardware, software, patches etc.... so it should work for all...

logcat for facelock "Face Unlock couldn't start"

E/pittpatt_lockscreen( 3930): Exception: (95) error 'SDK_INVALID_MODELS_PATH' (code=95) occured in function Recognition_Model() at vendor/unbundled_google/packages/PittPatt/core/recognition/models/recognition_model.cpp:419

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iibishop:
I tried both the Sony and KA11 with flashing Face Unlock but no luck.

Now im in DarkForest and might give it a try as i want to try it too.

Will post update after. Goodluck
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] teckis:
I have been trying to figure a few things out.

Running standard b526, but i have no wifi, no bluetooth and the u8800 has only seen the at&t network twice for a total of 10 seconds so no calls, texts, etc.

Battery is not working, and my only way to comuicate with it is through a usb cable.

android 2.3.5 kernal 2.6.35.7 and b526 op.

Everything worked till the download, which i foolishly dowloaded with no knowledge. I also didn't know about mods, rooting, ect. This place is a great repository of information, but alas after over 30 hours of reading, I'm afraid it's beyond my scope.

Any links or info would be very helpful, and thank you for your time.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
Can you check if your imei is null or not? You can find this information in settings about phone system information. If its nulled and you didnt back it before you need to send your phone to guarentee.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
Are you running a u8800+ (Impulse 4g) on at&t? I don't think those updates were for your phone. Baseband etc is not correct for your network. try find an official at&t rom and reflash, otherwise you are going to need to send it away to be reflashed by at&t.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] teckis:
Can you check if your imei is null or not? You can find this information in settings about phone system information. If its nulled and you didnt back it before you need to send your phone to guarentee.

imei is good, got battery working still boots to b526 but no service, no wifi, no bluetooth.

contacted at&t.... told never to dowload from sites other than at&t not even the manufacture. Warranty is blown cause of download. I somehow have to get this b526 working or I'm stuck with a really pretty os that does nothing.

By the way, the last programing I did was Fortran in the 80's, so i'm a bit slow on how this stuff works i.e. reflash from at&t, rooting etc... They said i would i would have to have a 3rd party reflash my phone.

Thanks for the help. I'll continue searching the forum.

*I had no idea that my phone was a u8800-51 (AT&T impulse 4g) non of the gb rom are meant for it. hope to recieve the original root today.

Partial Fix

I found an orginal root for u8800PRO. Flashed it, has taken me down to 2.2.2 now to get the AT&T part working.
[XPERIA X10 General] blakwhite:
A week ago, I passed on to the XS from my good ol' x10 and think that opinionating would be useful for some of you that are in the decision process. Beware, this will be a long one:

Design: Looks is great. Holds firmly in the hand. Transparent bar is very distinguished. Capacitive dots might rarely be missed or rarely unresponsive though, but very rarely after you get used to. Phone seems a bit big in the beginning but you get used to that after a few days and start to enjoy the bigger screen and higher ppi. However, I don't think I would buy a phone that even is two millimeters longer.

Media: Screen and videos are gorgous and even 30% brightness is more than enough for me. If only it had in-house diverse video playing capabilities. Sound is quite good too. I will not even say a word about the camera quality but be aware that I'm neither an audiophile nor a videophile (is this even a word?). I'm personally against no-card-slot as migrating your files is as easy as inserting the card to another phone in case of phone failure. Anyway, I guess technology is trending toward no-slots, which is also in favour of speed.

Performance: Very fast, even as is (2.3.7?). Battery is better than x10 but could have been better with respect to the duration that passed between the two technologies. By the way, phone is very stable.

Usage experience: Like two different eras when compared to the x10. I had missed multitasking very much since it was almost impossible with x10 after the 2.3 upgrade. You can hear the ringtones from the speaker while headset connected. In-call screen looks better and optimized and smartsearch is very efficient as some of you might already know with x10. I liked the keyboard. One problem is igo fills only some of the screen at the moment due to incompatible resolution. Fast charging is not true as Sony have stated recently that they never said such a specification. Be also aware that your expensive headset might not work as Sony have shifted to another standard, which iphone also utilizes. Nonetheless, I read that some had problems with the bitten fruit headsets, too. But I guess x10'ers are accustomed to headset compatibility issues.

Price/perf.: I will not get into that old-cpu-discussion which is currently irrelevant (or for at least 1.5 years?). Other than gaming, which I don't do, what software would require that in the coming months? And no ics out of the box, is that even a con? How many phones currently officially have it? Is it stable, do all apps support it at the moment?

So, I think that, in current market conditions, it deserves well the money you pay (~€450).
[XPERIA X10 General] zodiac100:
Sorry kiddo, even though I've just ordered one myself, I disagree with you analysis especially about ICS.

While I'm prepared to accept the dual core cpu (not being a gammer myself).

The lack of ICS straight out of the box is a big failure for the phone. Gingerbread is yesterdays man and a phone that's intended as an upgrade should be just that..an upgrade.

We even have the funny situation where the 2011 phones from SE will even spot ICS b4 the 2012 phones. Strange indeed.

SE made a lot of noise last year about being on point with software versions but look a year later, they are back to the same old crap.

I've ordered one...yes...will I keep it....who knows. I'll play with it for a few days and if I notice any real weaknesses in it. It's going straight back.

I am very reluctant to give my money to a company that just seems to refuse to get it and by that I mean the fact that android sells these phones and that's that. These phone manufacturers have been making phones for years since the iPhone came out without making an impression until android came on the scene.

Samsung, htc and others seem to have got it but SE for some inexplicable reason

despite insisting on making android phones refuse to embrace the platform completely.

SE need to stop selling SE phones running android and start releasing android phones made by sony.( if u catch my drift)

Until they make that philosophical shift, they will continue to lag behind.

Xperia s...fantastic display(the best available), great camera, competent hardware specs. But once again released with dated software.

Its not so much gingerbread that I resent, it's the fact that the very same company considering all that happened with the x10, is back making the same stupid stupid mistake.

Once the galaxy s3 gets released, that will be that for the xperia s. All quite on the western front will be the story that's told about it.

In technology sophistication will always win out over design and presentation. Only a small minority will choose style over substance as far as tech goes. They might do that with all else but they won't with tech....not ultimately any way.
[XPERIA X10 General] patrik@xda:
if i had the money i would buy it but the hardware seems to average, almost every dual core has the similar specs, and i think that the main disadvantage is to launch a dual core in the era of quad cores...
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
Agree about the ICS part, it's a shame that Xperia S doesn't come with ICS out of the box but still for a smartphone at least (not tech in general) I think style is very important too and don't forget its awesome camera so I still find the Xperia S to be a great choice & I disagree completely about it being history when SGS3 is released, There are still a lot of people (like me) who prefer to have a phone with great specs with enough perf & speed for their needs & awesome camera & display rathe than a super fast powerful piece of brick which they won't even need ever to use it to its full potential, and not a fair comparison anyway since sgs3 is a newer phone (relase time-wise)
[XPERIA X10 General] blakwhite:
Son, well, you are totally wrong there. How come iphone sells too many if not for design and presentation? How sophisticated is it?

You also are talking about a phone whose specs are not confirmed and yet to end XS at we-even-not-know-what-release date! Some sense pls. Of course, a few months are long enough for higher tech but then what. There will always be some model with better specs than the former.

XS is a good choice for its price.
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
He might be talking about a phone that we dont really know about but considering the SGS2 is practically on par with the xperia S, its logical to asume the SGS3 is going to be a beast compared to both thus stomping them in the perf department

Love the Xperia S tough even if i dont have it i agree that the power it has is enough for most needs

But since the phone JUST released, it would have been a smart move to make it ICS ready but i guess theyre not done with their ics update(why do these companies take so long?)
[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
I disagree with the notion that Sony hasn't learned anything. They even got to the extent of releasing official bootloader unlocking and support the Cyanogenmod community, if that is "refusing to embrace android" i really don't understand what is.

What phones in the market now are ICS out-of-the-box? besides the obvious answer Nexus S of course.
[XPERIA X10 General] zodiac100:
All of the new phone from all manufactures even hauwei all spoting ICS. HTC, LG.

tHE XPERIA S is the only 2012 phone without ICS.

Unlocking bootloader does not improve your phone...an OS UPGRADE does and on that front sony ericsson are very reluctant participants. It's always one excuse after another.

I've just received my xperia s but right now even though totally blow away by the display and the speed of the device, I am still minded to send it back because of gingerbread.

Unlike most of you, I find gingerbread on this phone just annoying..I mean common gingerbread in 2012?

And as for Apple. They got a head start and have a mass of mindless followers. Most people who I know who own iphones actually believe it to be the best and most sophisticated. They think android is a pale imitation. They are mostly noobs and remain so until they actually get to play with android and then slowly even if not totally their minds begin to change.

Apple as a company especially their iPhone brand is on the way down. The iPhone 4 was their last hoorah.

If you've got apple shares...pity you. I see another bubble exploding just as it did in the nineties against microsoft when apple sacked no other but their marketing man (and I stress marketing because that's what apple are in essence) Steve Jobs
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
^^

what nobel prize winning innovation you find in ics that is not there in gb?

i really wanna know what such feature in ics is there on which your oxygen supply is depending on?
[XPERIA X10 General] zodiac100:
Well if your waiting for Nobel prize winning innovation, then you m must be on some next ****.

Ics has a new task management system that allows you to control running applications almost as well as windows does. That's a big change. Even Sony describe it as a major overhaul.
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
i have used the arc on gb and ics.both...

ics gives half the battery life of gb...

for me personally that's a downside
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
if you ask me to point out a firmware flaw in xperia s, I'll say... its the absence of 3.0 kernel rather.than absence of ics

coz you'll get ics anyways later...but sony will never upgrade kernel (they never do)

and because.it.comes with gb and you get ics later as upgrade, means you have a choice betweem gb(battery life) and ics (performance)....

a phone that.comes with ics doesn't have that choice....

you'll say downgrading is insane....but i did downgrade from vista to xp after getting fed up with it in 2 months....

its not like new version is necessarily better than old version for all needs
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Comparing battery by a beta rom on arc doesn't mean that ics have inferior battery(and that to with sony bloat)

You are doing good dev work now a days but you don't know the benefit of ics over gb?

For me battery life is 2x

Being a daily ics user i can say that
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
xperia s will get it in 2 months...so what's the difference....

i mean.... its not.like it'll never get ics...

btw all major tech website reviews of ics have noted greater resource usage....hopefuly they are not lying...lol

btw for arc ics will not be that beneficial even in final rom... coz its single core...

ics extracts power of dual core from your phone efficiently...lol that's why you are feeling the boost
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I am taking for ics in general, not xperia s

I know but because of features added and some more apps to have a good experience out of the box and not download apps for this or that from market

battery is 2x for me

Self experience is much better than blogs

So am i lying?

Again i am talking about ics, not any phones

and if we take xperia s(which is dual core) is missing that

And HW acceleration is also a much better feature

[XPERIA X10 General] blakwhite:
XS is in the market since early march and, by the time, there were no official ics phones other than google's.

Really? That's very new for me. Shame on htc desire developers who developed kernels and cooked roms and made the phone very usable even in 2012. One with open bootloader would not need the sole support of companies and may use whatever rom available by 3rd parties.

Anyway, I don't understand this ics-right-away fixation.
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
@sahib

well, i cant argue much coz you have more ics experience than me...

but its all like xp vs win 7 debate i guess....

i still have xp to play games on my laptop.... win7 cannot run games at full resolutions on my slow computer....but for everything else, win7 is better....

there is a post on sony mobile.website which outlines where gb is better and where ics is better... i would suggest everyone to look at that post... and then decide on whether to use gb or use ics...

its all about what you want from your phone and which software fulfills your needs most.

and lemme make it clear....I'm not an ics critic....

its great...and it has many awesome new features...but i just wanna say that ics is not that important to make a question of life and death....

(and yes...my personal opinion...everyone's might differ)
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I saw that post on phonearena but its for 2011 devices which have 512 mb ram which causes the problems(and you have sony bloadware like timescape which is huge ram consuming)

But we are in xperia s thread which have 2x ram capacity so no problems

and its not like windows 7 and xp

Ics adds features other than visual changes

like HW acceleration and optimized for dual core phones
[XPERIA X10 General] snip3r_3:
The general user does not know or care if he has a S3 or S4/Exynos/A5/etc. To them, if it says dual core, its about the same. What they do care is the screen quality, styling, how it feels in their hands (Quality, shape), and maybe some technical terms/slogans that they feel means anything to them, like Bravia (SuperAMOLED, Retina display, etc). Also many if not most take opinions of peers, or even who is advertising for the phone as guides to their next device. To them, GB is the same as ICS, its Android. Just like iOS, do they really know whats different between iOS? Not really.

You guys are the minority that tweaks and mods their phones, not the majority. Most of my friends have no idea what a ROM is much less kernals and android versions. You saying the X S will fail just because of lack of ICS at launch? Wrong, its selling extremely well in Europe as well as Asia. I actually remember an article stating its mostly sold out in the UK due to its display and styling.

Hardware wise, its not the latest, but it doesn't have to be. Its fast enough, and the screen is good, which affects the user experience the most.

I'm not saying the X S is perfect, but its a good combination of hardware where it matters and software that works well for users. There isn't any ground breaking ICS feature that everyone absolutely needs to have. You are a power user, you might use the task manager more, but most people won't even touch it.

Several of my friends still used 1.6 on their X10s when 2.3 came out. Most people really don't bother with it. Likewise with other phones.

XP/Vista was due to widespread press release of how bad Vista was. To this date most people believe its a horrible OS even though by SP1~2 it was sorted out. Fully patched Vista is performance wise the same as 7, yet no one cares because the name is already bad, hence 7 was rushed out. Mass media and word of mouth = what consumers hear, not some tech forum or blogs. This is also why the iphone is successful. Good ad campaigns are game changers.

Experiences from..

using the X10, Ray, iPhone 4, and played awhile with a Sensation XE. Friends of all sort. Advertising class.
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
Xperia S came in market in early March so th eproduction of the phone started early this year,which phone had ICS at that time??? all the current XS are made in jan-feb...wait till april and there will be out of box ICS.

I remember wit X10 there was a big issue with the first slot,the USB was glues so breaking off was common,i myself got the phone replaced,lack of HD.but then the later version solved these issues,XS is good but i will wait for te next slot of XS which will have ICS,by that time all the issues regarding XS will also be solved
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
this guy is right
[XPERIA X10 General] wing_zero8556:
Lol apple is stomping everyone atm in terms of shares.. last I read their shares were over $600 each. Don't get me wrong, I don't love apple but from a business perspective they are easily one of the most successful companies of all time.

I'm also a bit pissed off about lack of Ics but whatever no moaning or *****ing is gonna make it come faster.
[XPERIA X10 General] nanodroid:
Do you think they will release a later version with ICS preinstalled (like they did with x10 and was it eclair or gingerbread..) and a card slot? I am thinking that that is what they are going to do. just like they did with arc S too ehh.

maybe vodafone uk is not providing the xs for this reason??:eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
one thing i notice is the price is falling down like anything,it was 480€ and now it is available for 380€,i guess if i wait till glaxy sIII comes,the price will even drop more,350€ and i will buy it ;)
