Thanks for giving such a great news..
[Xperia Arc General] arpith.fbi:
yea.. i saw xperia s running 4.0.4 few days ago..it was damn smooth though..
[Xperia Arc General] daniel090588:
I was wondering the same question how will Sony fix the gaming problem on ICS for the Xperia play? And there is the answer may it be just for now, no ICS for play until the gaming problem is solved. Great news for my Arc S
[Xperia Arc General] udimars30:
is there any particular date for ics to come???

and thnxxxx for the news :)

bec just had a rom of android 4.0.4 and now only i had put the stock .62 fw for the ics :p
[Xperia Arc General] siddharthsure93:
And Gud news is tat 4.0.4 wil be available for Arc S, Neo V and Ray which got a buggy 4.0.3 update. ;-)
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
Finally! I've been waiting for this for a while now and was jealous of the arc S, which received the ICS update earlier.

I'm hoping for a 'smooth' experience with 4.0.4. Any idea if we'd be getting a newer kernel?

I really hope they fix the touchscreen issues. And the gaming issues too.

[Xperia Arc General] heihei_ivan:
probably this is the decision made by sony and the game vendors
[Xperia Arc General] now.i.feel:
yes.. maybe kernel version 3.0.8..
[Xperia Arc General] heihei_ivan:
previously sony said ICS will still run with the obsolete kernel 2.6.32 in order to release ICS as quickly as possible in January. i just hope after 4-5 months of development they can release a 3.0 kernel in the near future.

we also see xperia s running ICS with 3.0.8 kernel, hope Sony or some skilled developer could port it to xperia arc? :confused:

P.S. some people asked in sony's latest blog post about the kernel but Sony hasn't responded yet.
[Xperia Arc General] rampraven:
I had a doubt that how is this possible..

No new firmwares certified from PTCRB..
[Xperia Arc General] now.i.feel:
Ya.. I was wondering that too..
[Xperia Arc General] Candy[MAN]:
That does not mean anything. Sony released 4.0.2.A.0.62 for all Arc devices but do you see it on that site as certified?
[Xperia Arc General] robinmitra:
FINALLY! I can't tell you guys for how long I have been waiting for this update..I hope that my Xperia Arc will finally be smooth now :)
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
Yes, for the Arc S.

http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=20152

I think if they certify a release for the Arc S then it can include the Arc, and vice-versa.
[Xperia Arc General] Dark Fable:
They should atleast then give us the sources of the final stock ICS kernel...

Finally!

4.1.K.0.5 certified on May 15, 2012

interesting :p
[Xperia Arc General] davird:
This is something all of us are waiting for. Fantastic news.

Does anyone know where the list or schedule updates for each region starts?
[Xperia Arc General] paulinho90:
Can't wait!
[Xperia Arc General] d3tr0:
I think that there will be no a lot of changes from the unofficial

They will improve the launcher. But wait what will happen :)
[Xperia Arc General] bmwbasti:
The most important thing would be that Sony releases the sources quickly after the launch of the update so that our great developers can build kernels that are not based in the beta one :D
[Xperia Arc General] guille26:
I see all of you have high expectations on this release. I've tested 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (leaked) and haven't seen much differences between them.

ICS is not smooth on Arc S and I'm afraid it will never be.

I'm now on JJ's HYBRID ROM v2.4b and it's quite fast but cannot be compared to GB 2.3.4.

I think ICS is too slow opening apps menu, painfully slow opening phone app.

Some of you have seen the Xperia S video running ICS, let's remember Xperia S is a much more powerfull beast. It's important to see that Sony is interested in having a nice ICS version for Xperia S, it's its new jewel.

Since our 2011 Xperias are already selled and retired products, they won't invest much money in this project.

I think 4.0.4 will be very similar to what we already have and let's be honest, it's not fast enought.
[Xperia Arc General] charlesfu4:
it may have a chance to release with a new 3.0 linux kernel

the leaked one was with old 2.6 kernel and unofficial

so we can still have high expetation on it!
[Xperia Arc General] now.i.feel:
the 4.0.4 was a port to the Arc/S.. It worked fine(almost) with our efforts on the pro.. but some things were missing..
[Xperia Arc General] guille26:
I've used it in an Arc S, my main concern is speed and system performance. Features were ok.
[Xperia Arc General] heihei_ivan:
i saw comments from the leaked 4.0.4 post, this version is generally better than 4.0.3

JJ's HYBRID ROM v2.4b is still on 4.0.3, so it doesn't affect my expectations on the 4.0.4 release.

actually 4.0.4 brings much improvements as compared to 4.0.3 so I am still looking forward to this release :)
[Xperia Arc General] guille26:
Well, I've using 4.0.4, before JJ's, and I didn't notice much improvement, what I did notice was it was't as smooth as it should be, in fact, it was quite slow as opening phone app or apps menu.
[Xperia Arc General] now.i.feel:
Why are you guys underestimating it even before it is released.. people were wanting sony to release ICS as soon as they can in whatever stage it was.. now when they got it they started blaming sony and whining about the ics release..

So this time i am sure sony has done a great job.. and people start believing sony.. also i think they are doing a great job not releasing ics for play if it has issues with gaming performance..
[Xperia Arc General] syverman:
maybe we should pay for upgrades, so in this way many would have been right to complain.
[Xperia Arc General] bradgh:
the server of sony too busy
[Xperia Arc General] guille26:
It's not personal, it's just I have learn to not trust vendors. Anyway, we'll know it soon enough.

I've paid for a phone and for support from its vendor. This is a set of services I hope to receive but they always forget to serve.

If you think they release a new version just for free and because they are so kind, you are so wrong.
[HTC One X] falcon26:
My HTC one X keeps making this door bell sound every so often. I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell it is. I have turned off all notifications sounds yet it still does it like every hour to half hour. It sounds like something is ringing my door bell. Does anyone have any idea what the heck this is?
[HTC One X] five1234:
Someone at the door?:)
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Data roaming perhaps?
[HTC One X] :
I opened this thread to say the very same thing! LOL. You beat me to it.

To the OP, I take it no notification accompanies the sound. A process of illimination might help. Try an hour on airplane mode to rule out external influence. Try an hour on 2g to rule out data....

Are you on stock rom? (sorry can't see signatures on this damn xda app)

Install alogcat and see what it says after this sound.
[HTC One X] greggles6041:
Finally figured it out!

Mine keeps making the same sound every time I touch the screen, and is continuous if I touch and hold the screen. So I just went settings, more, and turned off the nfc android beam option et Voila! After a while of trial and error of course.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
what a coincidence, after reading the logcat i was just about to suggest it might be that, then i saw your post!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
Can anyone please pull the email apk from the Rom (stock doesn't matter) and please post I'm eating to trade my one s and I had the galaxy nexus and I miss the email apk the one on sense doesn't display content right thanks

Hi,

Here it is:https://rapidshare.com/files/545335718/EmailGoogle.apk

It's the stock one,it will work with Sense?

Hope this helps you...

Actually it didn't work but I found one that did with black theme :) thanks tho
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arc_u:
Who know how to get SenseMe channel working on stock music player,

do it require an active account on Music Unlimited?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mwolthuis:
Should work, unless you unlocked your bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Go to "My Music" tab, touch menu button, select "Download Music Info". Wait so it is done and then check your musics and then SenseMe is ready. At least this is what I have done to have it working.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arc_u:
Thanks felimenta but doesn't work? I have an error (unknown) when trying to Download the data. .. But that because i've unlocked the bootloader
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
As the other one said, you lose some features when you unlock the bootloader, such as TrackID, SenseMe and GraceNote
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gbh62:
Well, I got this working with the LTE and Transformer Prime tablet.

Download FoxFi app from here to your phone. It is not available in the Sprint Play Store (Sprint blocks it).

http://foxfi.com/bin/

Bluetooth tethering does not work, at least I couldn't get it working. However, wifi tethering to this HTC phone DOES work, even though the Play Store description indicates it doesn't,,

"Turns your Android phone into free WiFi Hotspot - no rooting or tether plan required. Just install and turn it on. Bluetooth mode works for all phones. WiFi mode currently works on most Samsung/Motorola/LG phones.

WiFi mode does NOT work on Motorola Droid 1, Motorola Triumph, Samsung Admire, LG Revolution or any HTC phones

, use Bluetooth mode instead."

After install, just launch the app, click "Activate Wifi Hotspot". Then, I connect from tablet to "AndroidAP", and I'm done.

A couple things. The FoxFi "Network Name" does not seem to matter. Mine defaulted to Android92 but the Transformer Prime still sees it as AndroidAP (no matter what I change it to on the phone). Also, the WPA2 security does not seem to work. If I enable it, the Transformer Prime never prompts for password entry, it just connects.

Try it out on your tablets, or laptops and let me know your results. Nothing is required to be installed on my tablet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rsanz:
It works for me as well, however like you it doesn't matter what I rename the network, it still shows as AndroidAP on my WiFi device.

Also, even though I put in a WPA2 password, it still shows up as an open network with no password required to connect. So, this may not be great for airport use (which is mostly what I use it for) because everyone can just connect to your network with no password required.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I'm on my 3D waiting for my LTE and its the complete opposite. Bluetooth does and WiFi doesn't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gbh62:
I'd actually prefer the Bluetooth tethering to work. I'll play around with that some more tonight. I seem to get this Error Code 67 issue, which a Google Search indicates might be show stopper.

Also, I emailed the developer about this issues. See if that yields any response.

I agree about the open network issue. However, it would be fine for use in a car while driving and wanting to use a tablet instead of the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] t.o.m.:
Wifi Tether that worked on the OG Evo with Sense works fine on the Evo LTE. I downloaded it from the Play Store and chose Generic ICS as the setup. WPA/WPA2 encryption works and had no issues connecting to it and using it via wifi. I have not tested the BT connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimmyg41:
Pardon my ignorance on this...do you guys have LTE out in Orlando?

Nevermind...I see you meant your EVO LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I just took the Wifi Tether for Rooted users app from my EVO 3D and it worked fine.

What is in Play Store is NOT the same. You have to go to his web site to get the latest (which I think is still beta).

I knew the one on my EVO 3D worked on ICS.

I was running MeanROM ICS 1.4 and just grabbed it out of system/app or data/app from the .ZIP file for the ROM.

Set Profile to Generic ICS, Router Fix on, Clamping Fix on.

Oh what the heck, I uploaded it. This wifi tether app works on EVO LTE.

Just install it like a normal app by double clicking on it from a file browser on the phone.

If IE9 rename it to .ZIP rename it back to .apk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
You got this working without rooting EVO LTE? I tried it with your download and my laptop didn't "see" my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Root required
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gbh62:
So why post in this thread?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
Okay.. I did get wifi tether to work when I had my EVO3D rooted.

I tried BT tether with FoxFi on new LTE without root and it gives me an error. Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeinaustin:
Foxfi works for me as well though I have the same security issues. So does this mean that htc has removed the "hotspot lock" from the lte? I tried the same foxfi app on a htc evo 4g and it gives the hotspot lock error.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
wifi works for me now.. don't know why.. but I'm just happy it works
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Sorry I didn't notice no root.

Also I can't understand why you wouldn't root.

It is the most simplest process and completely reversible.

I might even keep this root even if s-off is achieved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
I've been so tempted to root. Just don't want to void warranty. Can they tell if you rooted if you unroot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
If you run the RUU, it's exactly like it was shipped.

If you don't run ruu, yes they can tell. If you do run ruu, they cannot tell.

It's pretty safe as far as warranty goes, unless you do something dumb, like bring it in rooted.

By the way sprint replaced my 3d under warranty with it s-off and saying virgin mobil. But I admit I was lucky.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Geek Goddess:
You can use Wireless tether if you download FoxFi directly from their website: foxfi.com/bin ... you can't use the one from Google Play. The one on Google Play won't work on HTC phones. I haven't tried BT tether, but WiFi tether works well on an unrooted phone -- except you can't seem to secure the connection. You can input an SSID Network name and a password into the app, but it shows up as unsecured and with the default name of AndroidAP. Must be something to do with the workaround they had to do to get past the lock HTC put on the phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
I have tried this (with root) but it doesn't seem to broadcast the network or show any data usage.

I also tried FoxFi in the OP but no luck either. Windows (7) see the network but it would show No Internet Connection, or at other times it would say Windows cannot connect to AndroidAP.

:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
Instrov Equivalent

myInstalled

I had the same problem. I tried BT tether but didn't work either. I installed wifi tether (needs root) but I don't have root YET. Then installed PDA apps from market. Reboot phone, reboot computer because nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what helped but FoxFi works now for me.

If you have root, use wifi tether
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:

Sprint Hotspot

So let me ask you guys a question.

On my EVO LTE, in the ICS Settings screen, under Wireless & Networks >> More >> Sprint Hotspot & tethering, I have a Sprint Hotspot setting that I can turn on that seems to work fine.

Unless, my plan got changed without my knowledge, I don't currently pay Sprint the extra $$ for their monthly hotspot service. Shouldn't I NOT be able to even select this if I'm not paying Sprint? Or will it start charging me the moment I use it? I enabled it, and saw it on my transformer as an available wifi network.

Am I missing something here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Wow. Lucky you.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KenNashua:
FoxFi wifi isn't working for me, at least not to my HP Touchpad (CM9, new wifi drivers). It actually shows up (consistent as above) as AndroidAP, but indicates it's a protected network. No password prompt when trying to connect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tntsjp:
Did you choose Generic ICS, enable routing fix, and enable clamping?

Also, I read a post where you could also try the above mentioned steps, stop wifi tether, start a tether app called Barnacle, go back to wifi tether and start it. This worked for me too in the past when I had my EVO 3D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
This does work on the LTE. I'm using my 3D with my LTEs 3g. Pretty awesome and no root!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
That did the trick! Thanks!!

WiFi Tether working on rooted Evo running ViperROM 1.2.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bdog718:
Me too. I tried the Sprint Hotspot with my 0G EVO and desktop PC. Both connected to internet. Nothing seems to be different with my account at sprint.com.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] midmofan:
Ok this has gotten real confusing since there are posts about tether without rooting, tether with rooting and posts about using the built in hotspot. Plus people are using the phrase 'wifi tether " to refer to both the root and non root apps (oh yeah and we have the play store and non play store versions). Plus some comment without referring to WHAT type of tether they are talking about.

We need an " anti-merge" to separate this all out!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youngstatus:
If you wouldnt mind me asking, what did you use for your root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I know you didn't ask me but I used this root method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577

I just followed along with his youtube video where he goes step by step including how to install drivers. Easiest root I have ever done.

Also, the wifi tether from the market works for me. All I did was changed the device or whatever it is to "Generic ICS". I didn't have to change the other values. Both my laptop and Kindle Fire have connected just fine. It just takes a few more seconds for the access point to show up on my devices for whatever reason. I thought it didn't work at first because I was expecting to see the access point show up immediately on my devices.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woedee:
Although wifi tethering works fine, I can't seem to tether via bluetooth; I've tried using BlueDun, FoxFi, and even the built-in Bluetooth tethering option (settings>wireless & netowrks>more>Sprint hotspot & tethering>Bluetooth tethering) and nothing seems to work. I really need to tether via bt as my cars' infotainment system only accepts BT DUN for wireless connectivity. Has anyone been successful in tethering via bt?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rose4uKY:
Ok help me out here cause I am confused one i am home and my phone is connected to my home wifi so is my Transformer Prime. Do I need to try this outside somewhere without wifi. I turned off my phones wifi and turned on foxifi I see Android AP on Prime but my phones wifi keeps getting turned back on and connecting me to my home wifi. I am going out here in a bit so I will try it outside in the car with no wifi. But I really hope this works. Sometimes we stay at the casino boat and they don't have free wifi so in an occasion using my phone and being able to do internet on my tablet would be so great. Just to surf aand do FB. I'll try it again like I said here soon when I am out. I hope it works for me.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Now I also checked turned on Hotspot it says active but I keep getting data call failure error 67. I see it on my prine EV(4G LTE but it's stuck on Authenticating and then i get the data call failure error 67 Unable to establish wireless data connection but I am in my home which gets terrible 3G I am always on my home wifi so is that why? If I am out with full bars of 3G will this work? I just know before on my 3D it said something about paying per month and this doesn't say anything so is it going to charge me if it does work outside. Guess I'll try the foxifi 1st here in a bit when I leave my house.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bdog718:
The Sprint Hotspot worked for awhile, but now I get the Error code 67...and no access to web. I guess it is time to try foxfi or root :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Yea you get that error when u don't have the tethering plan.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rose4uKY:
Well took me some figuring out but I left my house last night to drive about 20-30 minutes away. Turned on Foxfi on phone and my wifi which I didn't know also had to be turned on I have never tethered before but my transformer prime was on the internet and Facebook and I was playing hanging with friends. I couldn't believe it. I don't need to use this feature that often cause I have wifi at home or work but for long drives it's great or certain casino hotels that don't have free wifi. I love it! Thanks to whoever said they got it working with the transformer prime and posted the link. It's great!

Yeah the Sprint wifi kept giving error message I figured cause I didn't subscribe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tnman7:
FoxFi worked right out of the box, just downloaded app and ran it, connected to Acer tab. NO security settings and generic ssid like everyone reporting but I did not have to change any of the settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Same here, works great!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StarkCity:
So, from what I've read, foxfi is the way to go? Literature states to connect thru Bluetooth for the Evo correct? Forgive the questions, I don't own an evo and am currently helping someone tether thru their sprint evo 4 g. They are not rooted and have no access to a PC. So, I'm hoping my instruction to allow third party apps, download the foxfi file and connect will get them going. Anything else I should know about? Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DoubleJet:
Wifi worked for me. Have not tried BT yet. Same results as OP's: network name and wap2 security do not work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gavia11111:
I'm using the latest foxfi and have no idea where to set these things...generic ics, routing fix, clamping. What an I missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsm927:
So will the Sprint Hotspot not work if you root? Will it eventually work, its so much easier than wifi tether or Barnacle. I had issues with both of those staying connected. I am still on my OG Evo which is rooted and run the hotspot when I commute on the train.

I havent gotten the LTE yet but got it for my husband, he is anti root for some reason, never rooted the OG not sure if he will on this or not. Ill have to try the foxfi on it and see how it goes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] notlu01:
Those steps are only for the "WIFI TETHER" app for root users. It's a little confusing trying to separate which app people are giving instructions for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] testing1212:
Root-less wifi tether is currently working for me on my EVO LTE with FoxFi version 1.91. Even network name and WPA are working (had to close FoxFi and re-open after changing those). Posted from my Mac through FoxFi with WPA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00dahc:
The

only

way I can get it to work is to do something quite strange first...

I have to go into Wifi settings and completely remove the last Wifi connection I was connected to. Then open FoxFi and enable the Wifi hotspot.

If I don't do that first and just enable FoxFi no computers or devices can connect to it.

It's very annoying as the wifi connection I usually have to remove is my home Wifi... so once I'm done with FoxFi and go home I have to reconnect/reauthenticate to my home wifi.

Are you finding the same? I know many others here are suffering the same.
