[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thezood:
Hi folks,

I can't post in the dev section so I'm hoping someone can answer here instead. Searched imilka's thread but couldn't find anything that helped me. Wipe & reflash has worked for others but not me.

Wifi doesn't work for me. It worked when I activated it in the setup wizard after flashing the rom but after the first reboot it doesn't present me with any networks and it doesn't connect to the one I configured. I know the wifi device works because the mac address is identified in the status menu.

Also, battery time isn't very good. Less than half remains after being fully charged then left alone over night.

I have tried a full wipe & re-flash and also flashed the last version released yesterday. Does anyone have any tips or do I just wait for a new version? Seems weird that it works for everyone else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eug3n91:
Indeed, I didn't come accross any of these problems... I don't know what to say mate, might have something to do from whatever ROM you came from, some kernel remnants...but again, that's just guessing...

What I'd do in a situation like this would be to revert to a stock GB, use jBroid's kernel cleaner, and then try to reflash Chainfire's repack and back to CM. That's just what I'd do...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
I'd try to do a factory reset first. That way you'll get another chance to setup your WiFi from scratch and see what transpires. If it fails, it's back to basics, most probably. Rooted GB --> ICS Repack --> CM9.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thezood:
It's such a hassle to reinstall everything again. :-)

I'm downloading a stock rom now and I'm going to try flashing the modem partition. Perhaps the modem in the chainfire repack I flashed before is not 100% compatible with my phone... Otherwise I'll just have to stick to mobile data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thezood:
Flashing modem made no difference so it's something with the ROM. Luckily I have a good data plan so I'll just leave it and see what happens in the versions to come. If anyone has an idea, feel free to let me know.

And thanks for your answers guys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thezood:
Suddenly it all works. Thank you Google. You're swell!
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
I've been on the beta since it was released and the official release for 24 hours and have had the following issues so far:

Sometimes when I take a picture I'll get duplicate images in both Gallery apps.

Sometimes touch controls in games like Angry Birds simply stop working. Sometimes a reboot will fix it, sometimes I need to power on and off. This is unacceptable IMHO.

Does anyone have any more they want to discuss? The issue with the touch controls may force me back to GB. :(

Please use the Search button! This thread is about ICS bugs.
[Xperia Arc General] simonsy:
The phone app is really heavy to load and the number search is laggy and slow!

Videocamera is slow and a bit laggy, i hope that someone could solve this

I checked some video details, before and after the system upgrade:

Gingerbread Videocamera: video: 29 fps audio 128 Kbs STEREO

ICS Videocamera: video : 28 or less fps audio 128 kbs MONO

Why this quality downgrade!?!?!?! Ehat's next? 3 Mpx photo?!
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
Videocamera might seem laggy but resulting videos are fine.

The real bug is 2D acceleration which is most obvious when dragging down notifications bar and scrolling in the app drawer. It is also noticeable in 2D games. For example, I get 59-63 FPS in GB while on ICS only 46-50 FPS.
[Xperia Arc General] simonsy:
No no, the video quality is the same, but the audio is worse!! Check yours video specs.

I can connect to my VPN router but it is impossible to disconnect. Disable data or wifi is the only way to close the connection. Can anyone confirm this?
[Xperia Arc General] DevilMayCry_:
Some lags can be reduced if you install Sony S launcher .apk ;)
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
Only thing I really hate, is that many games are impossible to play because of the "touch lag". For example Age of Zombies; I can't get past the main menu, because if I press "play", it won't register my touch. This happens in most of my games.

:mad:
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
+ 1

Game itself works quite normal sometimes, but the menu lags. It's not because of performance issues because some heavy 3d games work smooth.
[Xperia Arc General] maRRRco89:
someone can poste a sample video from the camera to see these lags ?
[Xperia Arc General] simonsy:
The lag problem (not so lag), could be solved diabling the video stabilizer. The real question is why the audio before the update was STEREO and now is MONO!!
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
Temple Run is another good example. Touch controls aren't recognized correctly in both the game and the game menus.
[Xperia Arc General] Dark Fable:
+1000.

I'm tired of Sony not addressing these bugs.

Just downloaded "Shark Dash" (a Gameloft title). Game starts up and downloads 40MB of data. Then it stops. Any attempt to run it results in it stopping while displaying the title page. Uninstalled and refunded but I think people have had problems with other Gameloft titles on ICS.
[Xperia Arc General] spidermoon:
Either with GB or ICS, it's a challenging game to download content from Gameloft :D After 10 or more try, either in day or night, i finally manage to download the data for GTRacing. At least, this game work on ICS, but asphalt 6 not, it FC and return to home screen.
[Xperia Arc General] chandoliasnikos:
I was ready to update my phone to ICS, but after reading this thread I decided to postpone, at least until a new update is available. I think that Sony wanted to keep the schedule and released a buggy update.
[Xperia Arc General] sblar:
Sony has even, well kind of, warned about the upgrade:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...ical-differences-between-gingerbread-and-ics/

We are actually proud to say that our Gingerbread software is very stable and has great performance, so it’s not a bad idea to stay on this release.

With that in mind, I don't think that we are going to see a fluid Arc ICS build from Sony - the HW is simply not good enough :(
[Xperia Arc General] wth_is_life:
Just keep in mind that 4.0.3 is very buggy compared to 4.0.4...

Some of the Angry Birds games do not work on ICS. Rio and one of the others works but not original and Space from what I can tell. I'm having sleep of death issues and am not sure if it's ICS causing the problem or something else at the moment. It's really annoying! I may have to do a repair with PCC yet but I really don't want to start from scratch again. Pondering whether to downgrade or not.
[Xperia Arc General] Dante Vergil:
Hi there mobile community station..!

I ve finally flashed ics after bricked my arc..

but dont like it because as you guess slower than gingerbread..

Now trying to flash iberian version what is called about faster than this..

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

and the story of bricking is following..

Ingredients

1.Flastool 7.0.0.0 ...ok

2.ARC with xxx.0.42 2.3.4 gingerbread on it ...ok

3.LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB.ftf ...ok

4.Windows 7 SP1 x64 ...maybe the base problem this OS

5.Location:US and Language :British ...ok

and flashed than got the TRIANGLE...:confused:

Because no final verification box not thicked..

WHY ?

Because there was no "No final verification option" there...

so someone could figure out the problem..?

then i used my friends laptop XP on it for flashing..

on xp That NoFinal Verification appeared on XP although I used the files..
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
First of all: if you want to flash the Iberian version why do you say. NCB? :what: :confused:

About you problem try connecting your device and use SEUS and it should reparei it! I've done that in a similar situation! ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Dante Vergil:
Because firstly I flashed NCB version..but it was slower than 2.3.4

then I searched and found that iberian rumours is faster than NCB..

but I also flashed that LT18i_4.1.A.0.562_Iberia.ftf after NCB but doesnt recognize any change...

and finally i ve changed my mind to get back to 2.3.4 and made a new thread

questioning how to do so? u can check it out

So what do you really need?
[Xperia Arc General] Wobba-Lee:
I installed ICS a few weeks back by flashing the nordic rom then doing a full wipe and upgrade with the SE update tool. I have had zero issues, after rooting and removing bloatware. I dont play games on phone I have my Transformer for that so not an issue to me. Phone is running beautifully I would even say for me a more pleasant experience than GB.

Only two quibbles I do have though that I have browsed through most threads in this forum and cant find a mention to them.

On GB I used the swipe unlock and then pattern unlock. Mainly due to the swipe unlock screen showing more information ie such as missed calls, text messages etc. But this ability appears to be removed in the ICS update, I would even further like this as they have added the slide camera start meaning by the time I enter the pattern unlock the camera should have loaded. Is there a mod or something I am doing wrong?

Second issue is on GB I had my phone to not automatically mount the SD when connected to PC as the can be annoying as I might be playing music/spotify through phone plugged into speakers if I plug in to charge or restart my computer the SD mounts stopping my music and I need to go through and start it again. I just cant find the setting in ICS to do this.

Thanks for any help on these issues.

[Xperia Arc General] death_meet:
I bought the Arc S in India 2 days ago with ICS out of the box. I found some minor and one major problem. The minor problems include laggy and sometimes unresponsive software, the phone app takes a lot of time to launch, and once or twice the screen froze with an incoming call, and I couldn't pick it up. I guess a firmware update would fix these. But the major problem I am facing is with the camera. It takes fine pics when all settings are in AUTO mode. But, whenever I change it from AUTO to NORMAL, I see a green tinged circle at the center of the picture, even while it is being taken (i.e. on screen), and circular tinges on the 4 corners. On more investigation, I found it to be a problem with the White Balance setting. Whatever I set for White Balance, I face this problem. However, everything is fine if White Balance is set to AUTO. I don't know whether this is a hardware problem with my unit, as if it were, the AUTO mode would also show the same tinge. Anybody else have this problem? I'm a little apprehensive of taking this down to the service center, as SE service is horrible, and they will totally wreck the phone cosmetically. Any ideas? Please help.

I'm attaching a couple of pics to demonstrate the problem. The upper one is in AUTO mode, the lower one in NORMAL Mode, with sunny day white balance setting.
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
ok i take back my words from sony... ics is awesome and not bad !!

Pros :

i was on gingerbread 2.3.4 .62 version i reseted my phone using factory data reset. Then i Installed .62 my country generic using flash tools. Then without signing in google or even activating wi-fi i straight away updated via Sony PC Companion to ICS . As it got updated i took out the battery, sd card, and even sim card for few seconds like 20-30 seconds. Then inserted all back in and its unbelievably good than the previous time i installed ics. Maybe sony can't say to us that after installing new ics then take out battery,sim,sd card and insert it again... so please do it once guys it may surely show u the difference! if you are already on ics just do factory data reset and repair your phone via sus or PC Companion after backing up ur data and then take out ur battery n stuff n insert it back and then see it should definately show u improvement!

i hav installed many apps, games, etc and its still very smooth, dialer even opens very fast 1-2 sec it takes time but as u click it forces itself to show it wants to open as fast as it can on ics.

the more i installed apps it didn't slowed down!!

picking up call was very smooth really, no lag/glitch atall .!!

video plays smooth and perfectly fine .. love the task bar, browser is nice too!

note* i did removed junk apps from sys/apps (i did it before and that time i didn't felt any much difference as it lagged, but this time it massively improved by doing this)

great hardware acceleration... install's apps fast, opens them quickly and smoothly.. love it now!! No wi-fi issues ..

i feel clarity/screen of phone looks gr8,better and smater on ics

cons:

Still cons are there that yes framerate has been dropped as i used Quadrant Standard test and earlier on gingerbread it showed me in somewhere 3d/2d benchmark about 49-52 fps, now it shows maximum 40-42 fps and nowhere more than this.

when moving from any main page screen to another main screen page it rarely but does lags which would be nice if it gets fixed if a new update be provided .... same happens in the in menu icon pages, and when pressed the menu button it lags rarely and then opens the menu mayb tries to show smoothness but lags instead. I am just on transition animation .5x and windows animation also on .5x

really these cons can be managed and ignored as they rarely show little lag..

So in the end i am now going to stick to ICS and not going back atall ..

cheers!!

Thanks. I flashed the Arc S ICS firmware on my Arc (Lt15a) and it worked very well in the beggining. But after sometime it got really slow, so I gave up and went back to 2.3.4.

I hope the official firmware for Arc wont have those problems.

[Xperia Arc General] DanhThanhTam:
I hate this error!
[Xperia Arc General] panicc.co:
Hey all,

Thought I'd throw in my list of errors.

Details:

Xperia arc Lt15i

Original Nordic release for the lt18i

I have removed all of the bloat ware, 3d cam, live wallpapers, email, radio, media, f book, infinite view, all Xperia games,... Etc...

No issues with the flash.

Update positives:

Phone operates much faster on less

Ram.

Themes and ics features are grate.

Bugs so far:

80% of weather apps including original does not update or will freeze on open or add widget.

Notification bar clock gets out of sync only way to fix is restart.

1 in 5 reboot/shutdown will result in lost apn info. Upon searching for service providers it fails repeatedly and apn will not manually save. To fix you must restart.

Screen sliding is a little slow but Turing off Sony hd setting helps this.

Phone,contacts,dialer is super slow, no fix I have found.

WiFi card seems to be repeating every 45-47 packet sent to the router causing my high security settings to drop and reset connection.

Play store uses a whack load of battery life.

Gemini task manager cannot kill all.

Force close of play is needed to close.

Final thoughts:

I am very happy with the results I have gotten from the install of iCs on my arc. There a few issues that have come from this, most of witch have quick fixes and others like games and apps I believe is the apps them self not yet updated for ics. I will most surely update as the proper releases come out.

OTA

Will this arrive for a 3.0.x ROM via OTA or do I have to update to 4.0.x.x062 or so before?

And also, I have root but locked bootloader, so an .ftf flashed ROM now. Can I just apply the OTA then?

You can not update OTA for ICS. You will need to use SEUS.

[Xperia Arc General] Charl96:
Just as some of you say, games do not register touches correctly and the camera looks a bit laggy etc.

I think the biggest problem is the overall slowed interface... Loading apps is much slower now. Draw used to load up pretty slow but it's even slower now ._. Opening phone app is really slow as well. Worst of all, the home screens lags when you flick through them.... HOW? Even without any content... How can they release 4.0 when it's SO laggy? seriously...

Really disappointed. I could say so much more about the browser and multitasking but w/e...
