What's the point of patching services.jar while you are using GB? Locking the launcher to memory in GB can be done through build.prop easily. Patching services.jar was introduced for ICS and onward ROMs because

And a free RAM of 75MB is more than enough since the apps will get loaded in the memory and stay there and will start faster. A 300MB free RAM is nothing but absurd nonsense, and apps will try to restart themselves and gets killed due to the minfree values you will be using for so-called EPIC FREE RAM. The stock GB ROM with bloatwares handles games quite well, adding 100s of init.d scripts sometimes ruin it all.

Play store authentication problem solution

Hi every one

I have SE Arc, each time i try to open the Play Store, a message shows "Authentication is required"
[Xperia Arc General] JoleKze:
Hi everyone,

I have Sony ericsson xperia arc S. Today when installed PC Companion it asked me to update to ICS ?

I was looking on google and saw that some people said that update is good, in other hand some said that it's bad because of lagg ?

Android Version : 2.3.4

Build Number : 4.0.2.A.0.42
[Xperia Arc General] Destroyedbeauty:
The update is good but not optimized to perfection, even if Sony did a better work with ICS compared to Samsung and HTC.. Update and try it out, you can always flash .42/.62/.69 GB firmwares later if ICS isn't your piece of cake!

Hi all,

I'm very new to the Arc S (lt18i) and i'm having real wifi issues. Basic ally it's constantly trying to connect.

I've done a lot of searching on both here and google and from what I can gather there are two possible reasons for this common problem...

just plain old hardware fault

or an ics update fault.

Was th ics update to blame? can i downgrade to gingerbread and my wifi issues will be sorted?

I know i'm kinda clutching at straws here but wifi is a pretty important part of my day to day phone use and would love to find a fix.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Frenchdroid:
I had the same problem. I'm now using LuPuS kernel for stock ICS, and with that you have to flash the associated LuPuS wi-fi libs. All of this is provided on the LuPuS ICS stock kernel thread (which I linked a few posts/pages back in this thread). My wi-fi is now back to 2 or 3 bars whereas before, with the ICS upgrade, it was at 0 or 1 bar most of the time. Oh, and the phone is faster with this kernel - bonus !!
[Xperia Arc General] retroshaman:
Thanks loads for your quick reply. I'll try the kernel out asap. Do I have to run stock Rom though? Thanks again and I'll repost with the results :)
[Xperia Arc General] Frenchdroid:
No, you don't have to run stock. The same dev (Wedgess) has kernels for other roms too, plus I think you can run the stock kernel and wi-fi libs for other roms based - but you'll have to check on his page.

By the way, before you do anything, have you checked your router settings, etc ? Maybe try turning off any security like WEP temporarily to see if you can get it to connect. I had a problem recently where somehow, my router had been set to just connect with MAC addresses that I'd listed on the router settings page, and my Arc wasn't one of them - when I changed the settings in the router, it sorted it. Could be something similar, or maybe something to do with Dynamic or static IP address.

tweaked as good as i can... should i release it :D
[Xperia Arc General] Nooby Arc S User:
I guess it'd be a great ROM to have a cwm backup of it and restore if I'm bored and wanna shoot something for an hour :p. But then again, I can aggressively supercharge & debloat GB myself, you could make a thread on how to but releasing it as a ROM is a bit too much ;).

BTW I was using your mooded camera in xperia ultimate and its awesome! Such good Quality yet so quick to focus...... if possible it would be amazing if you could get it to work on JB ROMs, as the camera in cm10 is poor.

wifi problem is making me crazy!

I have an arc s and I want to upgrade to android 4 or higher but wtf? wifi not working

hi

I flashed the ics 4.1.b.0.587 official rom and I can't connect to any wireless network!

I've searched a lot! and ---------------------------> nothing

I've flash stock kernel wifi modules , installed tons of wifi fixing apps

and nothing

it's weird because I don't have this problem in 2.3.4 rom

but icm-------> ****

what should I do

please please please help me

more detail : seems like it hase "obtaining ip" loop! when it shows the scanned networks they have strong signals but when it wants to connect , there would be weak signal and repeatedly writes obtaining ip address and nothing happens

p.s : can I install ultimate hd on my phone , while it has a 2.3.4 stock android? so then there would be no wifi problem?!

I don't wanna go back to Gb android!

[Xperia Arc General] gaslaw:
little tips for ur arc

1. do you know that if you're trying to install a custom ROM on ur arc, it may damage your SIM if the installation not successful;)? as it has damaged mine twice. always remove ur SIM before experimenting

2. Do you know that you can swap ur SIM CARD without system reboot or battery pull?:) simply activate your AIRPLANE MODE then remove the back cover and remove the SIM CARD, insert another SIM CARD then deactivate airplane mode.

3. do you know if you're on MTP mode you cannot access your sdcard on PC if you have your screen locked?

tell me which one you've tried and which one you're about give a try

Please,Press Thanks if I've

Helped.
[Xperia Arc General] brayniak:
Custom roms basen on ics is better even that on gb. And when You flash adreno drivers from jb lags go away. Think about custom rom on Your device :)
[Xperia Arc General] soumya_digi:
This used to the case in old SE DBxxxx platforms. From DB3350 platform onwards I've never removed SIM card before flashing, and now with Android platform (my Arc is ~2yrs old) never removed SIM too, and haven't faced any issues till now.

It's a pain to pull out the SIM with battery inserted, also SIM bends while inserting or removing which might result in damaged SIM.

No. MTP works fine even with screen turned off.

This is driving me nuts. Can someone please try this for me:

1. Install Frisbee.

2. Play the game using touch controls for a few minutes.

I'm so close to re-installing GB...
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
Guys, I've been reading all the reactions to the new ICS update and, I have to say, I am a bit puzzled.

Here is why:

Almost every Arc (LT15) owner went ahead and flashed the update.

Now, just because your phones did not explode, it doesn't mean that it is OK that you flashed a firmware released for another model.

Sure, Arc and Arc S look very much alike on paper, but if they were exactly the same phone, they would also share the name, thus there wouldn't be an Arc S.

Furthermore, if the ICS update for the Arc S was suitable for the Arc too, why wouldn't Sony just say so, instead of having to deal with a flood of complaints from impatient Arc owners? And it is not like "they do it for marketing purposes because they want to sell their newest models", as by now all 2011 models are considered more or less 'out of date'.

So, what I am trying to say is that while admittedly there are bugs in the new ICS firmware (I've came across some myself), it is impossible to keep track of them since Arc owners are spamming the threads. I mean no offence to anyone, but this situation going on helps nobody in the end.

My suggestion is, someone open a new thread about ICS on LT15, where it would be easier to discuss on the bugs and shortcomings and just leave the rest of the discussions to the LT18 owners. After all, the official Arc update is just around the corner. And this place is enough of a mess as is. Let's try to make it a little tidier, for everyone's sake. :)

Just my 2 cents.

I have an Arc S and I do face the problems in Temple Run and other games as mentioned in the previous posts.
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
Bear in mind that due to the massive changes ICS introduced to Android,

there are still many, many apps that are not fully optimised.

I keep reading about people facing problems in Temple Run, but, for example, the games I play (Angry Birds, Cut The Rope, Dream Heights, etc) work just fine.

On the other hand Sygic Navigation, while it works, has many graphical glitches and the developers have already announced that they'll be updating it to accomodate the new Android version.

So, has any of the gazillion people complaining about Temple Run contacted the developer to get a definite answer on whether there are known problems with ICS devices?

I swear if I see another Temple Run bug post, I'm going to SNAP like a twig, like a twig! :D :D :D :p
[Xperia Arc General] PFM62:
A problem that I have noticed with my Arc S since the upgrade to ICS, is that it loses the mobile network connection occasionally and then won't reconnect. If you try a manual scan of the networks, it then throws up an error message, only turing it off and then back on seems to fix t.
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
I saw you post before about asking people not to mix up Arc and Arc S ROM and firmware in order to properly find the bugs of the ICS. I think you are right! But many people can't wait, it is part of human nature to be curious and try stuff even if...

I tried everything there is here on XDA, but went back to latest Nordic stock Arc GB and DL OC kernel plus some tweeks and UI cosmetics from the Xperia S.

I think it is the best for my Arc and I will think twice before updating to ICS with my single core CPU again.

I can make it function and look very good anyway... :):rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] Dark Fable:
You are right, I did do a little digging and Temple Run IS indeed registering incorrect swipes in all ICS devices. xD

Well, there are still some glitches like in Asphalt 6, Real Racing 2, FIFA 12, etc. I think I'm good with GB until Sony releases another update for ICS, I know it wont be before a month or two but worth the wait. [;
