Drunk?

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc General] fluxgfx:
Just noticed your post I'm on LT15i and I have no problem with the ICS update at all. Everything works perfectly well. Just so I'm not going ahead of myself I've been using it for the past week now.
[Xperia Arc General] adielee:
IMHO I think that if you have a LT15i probably better to wait about a week or so and flash a custom ICS rom like Acronium ICS , JJ ICS or KA ones.

They are lighter and more optimized than stock for LT18i but still have some bugs at the moment.

Seems like LT15i users who flashed the LT18i stock ICS are experiencing mixed results depending on what apps they have.
[Xperia Arc General] fluxgfx:
adielee,

I haven't experienced any problem being an LT15i user with any of the ICS custom roms. Maybe I'm just fortunate. I'm running multitude of application from Go SMS Pro, Touchpal, MIUI Music 2.3.9, QuickPic, PicsArt, Facebook, Google+, Gmail, K9, Box, SD Maid, Titanium Backup Pro and what not.

Might just be a bad flash for some.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
After few days with ICS on my Arc, I have a feeling that GB is good enough for Arc. I never felt Arc was laggy with GB but with ICS, it shows when launching dialer.

Some advantages I noticed with ICS

1. Dialer now has smart dialing

2. You can reject call with SMS which I used to use a lot when I had WinMo 6.5

3. If you assign high resolution images to google contacts on phone, they get saved unlike on GB where you need to save a phone contact.

4. Gmail looks little better.

Besides those, it hardly matters if it's GB or ICS. With GB arc is much much smoother. I plan to go back to GB after a week more of trying out ICS to see if there are any more advantages with ICS on Arc.
[Xperia Arc General] fluxgfx:
Hey!

I noticed the exact same thing until I decided to get them fixed... I'm running a custom launcher "APEX" works like a charm and it's smooth hardly any memory usage. You may also want to reduce the number of background process decreased it to 2 and makes a world of difference.

Dialer situation noticed that the stock dialer took average 5 to 10 seconds in delay. I got it replaced with a different dialer and reduced the delay to a mere 1second now.

You can't really compared ICS and GB... that would be like comparing Oranges and Apples... You should also experiment with the different roms / kernel combo. You might find something better suits your needs.

If you take a look at my signature that what I'm currently on this week. Preparing to try something else at the end of the week.

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc General] streamnlnl:
I agree with the first three points. I'm going this weekend back to GB. I think android 4.0 is to heavy for the arc s. And personally I don't believe those who said the update is smooth like butter.

I have tried some roms but OR hdmi isn't working or something else isn't working.

So NO, I personally don't think ICS is worth it for our phones.
[Xperia Arc General] zolaisugly:
It still seems as if most who update to ics who have arc are not 100% happy.

some are going back to gb after a week, think the promise/thought of ics got the forum in a real frenzy

...but now there seems to be doubts if it really is the next best thing.

sent from something,somewhere,sometime ago
[Xperia Arc General] cokey77:
It's not the next best thing it's a ploy to keep Sony users happy. Phones are either going to run well with ics or they aren't people have a good idea about weather ics will run well or not and in this case it doesn't. It was only meant to have gingerbread that's just the way it is.flash custom Rom for ics it's the only way of getting it right.
[Xperia Arc General] gabimx:
wait a month and a half and see the ICS for the LT15, its way better than the rest that fits for the LT18.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
ICS might be having several hidden benefits but some of the visible one's actually feel like lousy implementation/design for a phone. Looks like Google wanted a universal feel between tablets and phones. I just don't like how active apps appear now. It suits more for tablets. Same with selecting widgets. I prefer the list view. Now, it requires scrolling forever. Most of these can be resolved by using other launchers. Yes, Apex is lean and clean and can save of from several pain points of ICS.

Sony is definitely doing a great job in making ICS a better experience. Little things like trash located at bottom, settings button, etc. I still don't get how Google can be so dump to have it on top when it hurts thumb to stretch to the top!!!!! Another dumb thing Google did is with GoogleTalk. Every line of text has picture of person you are chatting or your picture. Chat screen is full of thumbnails.

I used HTC One X and gave up on it as Sense is just is a bloatware crap compared to Sony's UXP. If I ever keep HTC phone it will have to be with a different launcher.

While I still love my Arc I am not too sure if it has enough power to handle ICS. The one Sony phone that appeals to me right now is Xperia P. Hope 4" screen doesn't feel tiny after using Arc, Galaxy Nexus, Xperia S, and One X for a week or two each.
[Xperia Arc General] darth5zaft:
worth it

just for chrome,multitasking menu and swipe to remove,smart dialer, and google apps look much better.

i have the lt15, run on KA n acronium ics..

ics would either make a phone faster or slower, and the arc falls into the 2nd categories.but its not really that slow
[Xperia Arc General] luutuan:
it depends on you

If you like new things: Go with ICS

If you want your phone is stable: Stay with GB until next update of ICS comes from Sony.
[Xperia Arc General] J Webb:
Personally I like the development of ICS so far. Obviously it's not as stable as it possibly could be right now but it's definitely not far off. Dev's like jjdoctor are doing a good job of minimalising ICS Roms for Arc so that the phone can use the extra space to work a little harder to run things faster so the LT15 can handle ICS more smoothly.

Try some of the Cocktail roms jjdoctor is working on, they offer a little something for everything. Combining AOSP & Stock or MIUI & Stock for eg. Afterall that's what Android is all about right? Picking and choosing what you do and don't like for your own personalisation?
[Xperia Arc General] Cedi0117:
i haven't tried the official releases from sony but the roms i had tried are quite fast and unlaggy. i had tried jj'shybridrom and it's quite perfect for me. however video really sucks bigtime. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] adielee:
I'm running the stock ICS on my LT18i and it's also pretty perfect.

I think the only difference between LT15i and LT18i is when people use it for apps that use huge processing speed and memory like HD games. Day to day experience should be pretty much the same. Also, if one had 100 apps installed there's bound to be a handful that have problems.

Whether LT15i or LT18i we could all do with a good custom rom since (in terms of memory and storage) our phones are at the lower end of requirements.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamild_:
Hi!

Today I've flashed my phone to install MIUI. That ROM is brilliant, but there is a feature I don't like - new camera application. Definitely the original one is better. So I've tried to replace "MiuiCamera.apk" file in "system/apps" to the original one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453334 - Original_ICS_Camera.zip) with Root Explorer. I tried to paste it to "system/apps" but my phone got restarted. After reboot a camera application has gone. There is no way to turn it on! How can I change camera app to original one?

Hello,

2 hours ago, a had to turn my SGS2 off and when i want to turn it on, nothing happened :( Tried to charge battery to full, put out battery for 20 minutes and still can't turn it on. When i connect it to charger, on display is battery charging but don't see LED diod.

Is it soft brick or hardware problem with button ? I just changed my sd card and put back my old.

When its hardware problem, I have to take it back tomorrow, but is there some way to unroot it and flash official rom because of warranty ?

Thanks a lot

USB jig to get into download mode, then flash a stock rom via odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you can get into download mode, yeah, flash stock rom & jig it. Send it back to Samsung.

If you can't turn it on or get into download mode, you might as well try a jig before you send it back to Samsung.

Should the gps icon be visible when gps is in use like during Facebook check-in?

How can I confirm my gps chip is working?

Thanks :)
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
If you've enabled the GPS in settings then yes.

Install GPS Status and it will show you all the various details.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
As long as the GPS icon blinks for a bit when using apps like Facebook check in, Foursquare etc etc then it should be working. I also use GPS Status once in awhile if apps aren't getting the right GPS positions, and I reset all A-GPS data and restart the offending app :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Catalyste:
hello everyone :)

Some background first :)

i have tried loads of custom roms but i was experiencing one problem or another with each and not one was totally bug free ... i went back to stock.

i have also installed and tried many versions of Merruk kernal as well as the therma rom kernel and therma rom had the bootloop issue on stock roms :(

merruk kernel was giving me problems while using titanium backup etc...

so... long story short , i am on stock XXLA4 from Doky and want to know what i can do to remove the mount warning in link2sd on cold boot ?

Either i install a custom kernel that is bug free.. can run all apps without problems and support mounting of link2sd partition on boot ....

Or i do something to the stock to make link2sd work ?

Thanks for reading all this :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Harsh06:
I can run link2sd with stock kernel.It required only root n ext partiton.In your case just re-partition back your sdcard and install link2sd app.Remember if your ext partition is not empty during fresh link2sd installation then u will encounter the mount warning.

Guys, i've seen quite a few threads where people have gone to a shop or done a network unlock with a USB lead and then found they cant get a signal etc when going to a custom rom, hell it even happens on STOCK rom. DONT DO IT! It's not worth it, IF you have done it yourself with Omnius tool then RESTORE THE TA BACKUP. Get your network unlock CODE from your network provider, in the uk it's between £0 - £20 (depending on network and age of phone)

Hope this has helped some of you thinking of doing this

[HTC One X] devilhere:
heylo everyone,

experiencing a issue which had become a pain !

i have a ford figo with OEM stero (India) which is an awesome one. i had a SE ARC before i moved to HTC One X and with Arc, once paired, there was absoultely no problem ever to pair it again, all i had to do was to switch the bluetooth on and it used to connect.

with HOX, i have a major issue, the first time, it connected flawlessly, was able to make calls, play music from phone thru bluetooth on the stero system. but then comes the problem! it doesnt work the next time, i tried to delete the pairing on both car and phone but with no joy.. i did a factory reset and it again worked once.. next time, it says its connected, but when i play music, it plays on the phone's speakers, i went to music player settings and tried to select the player as bluetooth but doesnt make any difference... i read couple of people having similar but not same problem, some have crackling issue, some are unable to connect, but this is strange, able to connect but only once.. i havent formatted the phone again for this and its a little cumbersome as all my music is on phone and i always used to use the phone to play music.

any help will be much appericiated
[HTC One X] TheMathMan:
I have the same with an after market Sony.

Really erratic pairing. Always pair's phone but not media.

Have to randomly switch it on and off for a while til I get lucky.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It works the same as my SGS2 on my Infiniti (Nissan) nav system both for phone and media. The One X has BT 4.0 which I'm assuming is backwards compatible but it might be a challenge with some systems/devices.
[HTC One X] devilhere:
on brightside, you get lucky ! i dont get lucky at all.. its quite frustrating

Barry, Possibly yes, but i beleive new technology is always backward compatible ..

anyone had a fix ? i read about some bluetooth stack fixes, but looks like it was for a previous HTC device and not HOX..
[HTC One X] spacebar2011:
I can fairly pin the issue down to your car audio not playing nice with Bluetooth 4.0. Yes, its backwards compatible, but, that's not always a guarantee. Get some other Bluetooth 4.0 devices to check.

:( will try and get hold of another BT 4.0 Device and try..

[HTC One X] newday82:
This same problem here with after market Sony MEX-BT3800U.

Got the same problem in my Mitsubishi Outlander navigation system.Don't know why.Must be the version of the bluetoot that you'r car isn't recognizing it.You can try to do a factory reset of you'r car stereo,i did that the other day and now seems that it's working well,don't know the reason why.I think that it's the cars fault because the bluetooth headset that i use doesn't seem to have any problems working or connecting to my HTC.Even if you have open "slots" in your car to connect you'r phone,the car doesn't whipe the data of the last phones you used on it,that is why i am saying to do a factory reset.I don't know if you can do it yourself,i went with my car at the Mitsubishi Service,they conected the computer,reseted the navigation system,connected my phone and now works.
