[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
End May or early June for Xperia Arc --> bye bye Sony for me

X10 times are back, at the end it will come in 6 months.

Be ashamed Sony!

I'm pissed because Sony said the want to keep up with updates, at first they did that.

But then they stopped at 2.3.4 and even 120€ 600MHz Samsung devices are on 2.3.6.

Then they said that they won't update the kernel to 3.0 to oush it out faster.

Samsung and HTC did update the kernel to 3.0 and are pushing out 4.0 already!

kuya

maganda ba ang ics 4 dude...?
[Xperia Arc General] heihei_ivan:
well

i tried the ICS beta ROMS

all of them are buggy in terms of gaming performance, almost all games are laggy, random blank screen would show up, etc.

also all 2011 xperia devices has very few RAM and i feel it's not enough on ICS, even music player+whatsapp would cause the launcher to redraw (even it's supercharged= =).

so I think Sony has to do more tweaks and programming before they roll out the updates, if they have talented engineer

and Sony also says ICS “may impact performance in some user scenarios” OMG Sony you should have given the devices more RAM.

but.. end of May to early June.. I am pissed off.

I still don't understand why arc s, ray and neo v can update first.. anyway, i will think these 3 phones are bug-testers :P
[Xperia Arc General] dong2007:
People have always said that ICS came between 15marts - 15 april for Arc S?
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
Dude, just flash LT18's ftf when it's available.

EDIT: Samsung's firmwares are not as good as Sony/SE's, trust me. On the other hand, HTC's are as solid as ours.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Yeah, I know that and I'll do that. But anyways, they shouldn't forget the Arc.

And normal users won't flash other firmwares on their devices, which will make these guys angry

I hope we'll see arconium on official ICS, too :)
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
I find it incredible that someone smart enough to buy and xperia is too stupid too seriously that the other handsets dates haven't moved, they were never first in lime to get them. The only need here is the first batch are delays by a whole 14 days. Not big deal. I'm happy to have news, we should be thanking Sony for keeping us informed rather than *****ing about thingd
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
nice april fool prank sony ! i almost fell for it :P
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
The beta rom(s) had it

I hope so !!

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc General] darth5zaft:
Not really disappointed.

I buy the arc at a time when people buy the razr n sammy note. I buy it for it call quality, beauty,sound,camera and screen quality are 2nd to none.

Not for the sake of the latest spec,kernal or software.

tired of waiting. i unlock my bootloader n install some ics rom..its does felt faster.but ram is an issue.and theres lot of bug particularly on gps,3g n wifi.a lot of apps can't run properly on ics.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
What do version numbers mean? We have gotten screenshot and panorama photos in GB which is an ics feature. Check pctrb, 5+ firmwares were released.
[Xperia Arc General] mhyke13ph:
A month late is better than never.

They are optimizing it further more, for better user experience and bug free and hopefully they will encourage us to upgrade to 4.0 rather than having dilemma choosing 2.3 and 4.0

If we are to choose, I hope they will release 2.3.7 along side with 4.0.3 for Xperia 2011 to their PCC
[Xperia Arc General] asderth8000:
what i think, 2011 Xperia's Handset are just lab rat for Xperia S

I hope I'm wrong
[Xperia Arc General] sco0ter:
I have a xoom and for weeks people have been *****ing about not getting the ics upgrade here in the UK and running about rooting their device then they moaned about the bugs like hdmi not working and some games and apps as well. Now moto have released an update to 4.0.4 for the us market but uk will get this one as the upgrade so those of us that waited didn't have to go through all the bugs and things.

I would rather wait a little while longer and have everything working than Get it now and have it full of bugs or meaning my device didn't work as it should. I'm certain all the ones on here moaning of the delay would be the first ones on moaning of the bugs as well. A no win situation for Sony
[Xperia Arc General] loklui:
sorry, screenshot is a GB feature.
[Xperia Arc General] cokey77:
ics supposed to make arc have less ram or something heard a few bad things hope there not true. as for updates being slow its always going to be that way for android with there being so many devices and carriers its just the way it is.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
The beta was pretty bad in terms of ram usage. Apps closed a lot, they might fix that in the release version but I don't think they lied in that post.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Deleted
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Seriously? It's a couple of months. Get a grip!.. And regarding other, normal users not wanting to flash.. They probably won't even be aware of the OS upgrade!
[Xperia Arc General] cokey77:
The arc launched with gingerbread which was pretty new from what I remember but it has only ran gingerbread albeit tweaked with updates, but ics will be first totally new os update but it's not going to run that well.so then ark wasn't very future proof as far as os goes, bit disappointed with that but not the end off the world ; )
[Xperia Arc General] marvvv:
Let's hope they can tweak and polish the overall look and feel of the ICS update. The thing I'm worried about is the user experience, I hope it's smooth enough for daily use!
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
They had about 5 weeks since the beta was released till they had it certified. I don't expect any major UI changes but I hope they've improved the performance.
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
The UI will probably slightly different (more polished) compared to the beta because there were unskinned parts here and there. Performance wise, it should be at least as smooth as GB.
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
the UI should be better then GB, and performance has to be better too.

or else, what the hell have we've been waiting for ? >.<

UI should be at least like xperia S

and performance, should have better memory management *cough*V6 SuperCharger*cough*
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
The UI will be nothing like the S other than the launcher which is kind of a GB/S hybrid. I don't think we'll have new Xperia S style widgets for example. But we live in hope.

And if GB is anything to go by they won't have any SuperCharger-style memory tweaks and the launcher will suffer from the same reload problem (the official beta was terrible for launcher reloads - thankfully Arconium saved the day for me).
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
you're saying, that we are NOT gonna get the cosmic flow live wallpaper and the new widgets ? and we are going to get the same SE themed launcher like in GB ?

and they don't fix the memory management ?

that's kinda disapointing, to be honest..
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
That's just what I think. I hope I'm wrong. If there were going to ship the Xperia S widgets and launcher I would of expected this with the beta in case there are issues with these apps under ICS. But they didn't - in fact there were less widgets than you get with GB (they didn't ship the on/off widgets for example even though the GB ones seem to work OK).

They might make some more effort with memory management as ICS uses more RAM but other than giving people the ability to choose which services run I don't think they'll do much more. They don't have a great track record with GB when it comes to launcher reloads, etc.
[Xperia Arc General] finbaar:
I couldn’t give a crap about the UI. Just get it out and let the devs loose on it so there is an AOSP style ROM with an over-clockable kernel. I don’t want any Sony bloatware like timescape or there god awful launcher.
[Xperia Arc General] cokey77:
so whos going to update there phone as soon as ics hits? think i will wait until someone reports on it first because i dont think it will offer anything worth updating for. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
I'll give it a go. :)
[Xperia Arc General] rkanwar:
I will also give it a go :)
[Android Head-Units] Shinare:
Did some googleing and didn't find much except for some maybes and some oddities that i'm not too sure about so I thought I might come to the experts. I would love to have a small 7" double din head unit in my car running gingerbread or better android on it and tether it to my phone. That way I could add pandora/youtube/siriusxm/navigation/market/fruitslice whatever...

Anyone know of anything out there?
[Android Head-Units] boborone:
There's a couple on the market I've seen. Many are out there as concepts. In the Barnes &Noble nook forums there is guy who did a write up on how he installed a nook in the dash of his jeep. It's a 7 inch screen and fits with a little Modding. I'm surprised you didn't find any on your search.

Dynavin

Ca-fi

Bybyte

Those are the main ones people have been "keeping an eye on" since last year.

After talking with some friends that are in to car audio, I've deemed them all to be subpar for my needs so i just got a 32gb sammy tab plus, 64gb microsd card, and a $30 dash kit that i will mod for mounting. I think the three key things that a real head unit has over mounting a tablet are: 1) easy back up camera solution 2) satellite radio 3) built in bluetooth handsfree. 1 and 3 are possible, just not the easiest, and i have no use for number 2 since i dont subscribe.

*edit* - just realized i had subscribed to the thread boborone is referencing Nook Color in Jeep Wrangler
[Android Head-Units] TheReach:
There is also the more mainstream AppRadio from Pioneer. Search it since I can't post links yet.

I have the Erisin 777A for the past 4 months, generally quite happy about it but wants better sound quality.:rolleyes:

Clarion has announced an android head unit, the mirage, http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/28/clarions-android-running-mirage-ivi/

This one has potential, maybe upgrade is in the works for me.:cool:
[Android Head-Units] Kilj0y:
I have been search and I have decided on mounting a tablet as well I just wish there were companies who make custom mounts to make it look OEM
[Android Head-Units] Shinare:
Nice. That's what I want. Too bad its release is in q4. :-(
[Android Head-Units] CueballUK:
Has anyone tried any of these or know if they would be any good hardware wise?

How about the possibility of custom roms or even rooting them?

This one seems the better choice in the fact it's a removable tablet. Not because I want a tablet but because it would be easier to bring into the house for flashing purposes. Never heard of it's CPU mind?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321013490466

This one is quite a nice looking one with non removable screen. Has a Cortex A8 which I've heard of at least :)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121016519547

So what's your views and opinions?
[Android Head-Units] CueballUK:
So no comments then? I'm really hankering for an Android unit in the car. Will beat the socks off the crappy 2din wince unit i have. The software on that is so cumbersome and doesn't match throughout the different modes.
[Android Head-Units] CueballUK:
Ok just found this Parrot Asteroid 2DIN. Looks very good but not available yet.

http://www.slashgear.com/parrot-asteroid-in-car-nav-entertainment-systems-revealed-09207612/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH3-VAfqjEw

Also after watching some video's of the unit with pad I posted previously it seems that most of the main functions are handled by an internal process in the unit (maybe wince?) which then outputs video and control via the tablet. This has kind of put me off a little bit.

So after watching some other video's of the Ca-Fi I think I am going to go with one of these. The new one is upgraded to 2.3 Android, capacitive touchscreen and a 1ghz processor. So saving my pennies now!!!!!

Okay all this talk of android double din, well I have a double din unit in my car, all self fitted, it has 2 sd slots, 1 for GPS and the other for sd card for media, but was wondering if any of these slots can be used to "install" new os onto the unit.

How does the Os get installed onto these, there must be a way.

[Android Head-Units] kkeith:
Has anyone ever seen any specs on pre out voltage on any of these units? Or even better a digital out? They seem to be all about software on the specs minus the 55w x 4 channel spec, the biggest gripe I have the with main manufacturers of hu out there right now is you either get a nice ui and imo poor pre out voltage or a really terrible ui that is almost unbearable but high voltage, which in turn leads to higher volume and clearer audio. This is what I have found at my price range anyways and am not really willing to drop $2k on a head unit at this point. Anyways i am trying to look through all the links on this page but any help would be appreciated

Edit: guess it's 2/2 pages and not 22 pages haha, guess I did check them all

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowyman:
Well I've wanted to update this for those who might need information later. I've been trying to find the reason of heating which apparently started after installing Resurrection but the phone was not super cool before. Sometimes it would get hot when charging as well.

To assess the cause, I've tried installing different kernels, speedmod, siyah, etc. The problem persisted. So it can't be due to kernel (I was using the same kernel before installing and the device was not heating up).

Now I'm going to try Sensation Rom and see if this will solve the problem. I really hope it will, otherwise I will start hating my phone...

Hello all,

I had this problem before, and I reflashed my radio and that did the trick.

A few weeks ago, I went and cleaned up my PC. So, I haven't got the files anymore.

The links at cyanogenmod.com are dead and so are they on the wildfire-index page, I was wondering if anyone had the radio's around (or had working links.)

It would be greatly appreciated, I don't need my wildfire for a very long time anymore. but WiFi is a must if you're getting a new phone and you need to transfer stuff ;)

phone should b fast and fluid

i need a gsm unlocked phone

i need your suggestion
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] johnflorin:
Pre 2 or Pre 3 if u ask me...Pre 3 might work out better because of its larger (and higher res) screen and keyboard. They should both be fluid enough for all tasks.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] SIROSISOFLIVER:
The Veer is also a good choice; the build quality is excellent, and is still speedy. 4g is also nice. And you can get one for $50 without looking hard. Small screen? Yes. Charger is odd too. But for a basic phone, it works well, and on a Straight Talk bring your own GSM phone, economical.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
LOLz - I don't think they have Straight Talk in Bahrain where the OP is from. :eek: :rolleyes: :p

Important for you is getting a European model - NOT North American - so that your comm board is compatible with the carriers in Bahrain.

Veer or Pre 3 might be a good choice to get 4G data speeds - but for ease of use with any GSM carrier and a more proven model go with the Factory Unlocked GSM Pre 2... Just my humble opinion. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
:confused: Do you want to from 2.17 to lower version or from lower version to 2.17?

If you want to go from 1.13/2.08 to 2.17 the follow this :

To use 2.17 ROM with hboot 1.4 and S-OFF first flash this PG86IMG.zip -----> http://db.tt/57Mycsoj by putting it on root of sdcard (1st rename the file to PG86IMG.zip) then booting into bootloader. It will detect it and then let it update.

It will update your radios and firmware. It will not touch the hboot and Secureflag.

After the update you can flash any 2.17 ROM or restore any update if you had.

NOTE: I dont know exactly if you can still flash a 2.08 ROM after the radio and firmware update.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Also, After you have installed the above PG86IMG.zip file, delete it from your SD card. Otherwise when you try getting into recovery using the power/down volume method, it will search for the update and ask to install it again.

Thanks thats what I was wondering.

I ran the update the software still says version 1.13...
