[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
Feels ALOT smoother than the 4.0.3 release. It's got a new baseband, and I have noticed quite a few bug fixes.

The only thing that still sucks balls is the speed of the dialer and contacts lookup, as this is a primary phone function, it's shocking how poorly coded it is, when comparable apps from the store like exDialer are so much faster.

Come on Sony, if as you claim you want to be up there as one of the big Android sellers next year, then you need to sort these lots of little things out, as lots of little things make big differences.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jurga:
Did they fixed the wifi bug???
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overdose1986:
WHat!? Really? mine opens in less than a half second...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] footyfanatic:
The battery bug for me is totally gone. I will need some more time testing but so far it seems to be even better than GB for me.

Had no problems with WiFi and tbh its improved for me also. It connects so quick when turning on, the fastest I've seen WiFi connect on any firmware across my various Sony phones :)

The whole experience is almost perfectly smooth, even with all my apps in the background and heavy auto sync apps (facebook, fb for xperia, friendcaster, exchange email, imap email, whatsapp and google with music, instant upload etc)

Only thing is I would agree with the dialer/contacts app being slow, but usually for me its only when entering it, once its loaded its usually quite smooth :) I only put this down to all my contacts which are all linked to facebook, google, whatsapp etc

If it helps, I should mention I use Go Launcher as my home launcher

Would highly recommend upgrading
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] losdrivare:
Hm, the slowness of opening Phone or Contacts was the main reason why I reverted to 2.3.4 after trying 4.0.3 so this makes me think it's not worth to try 4.0.4 after all.

Are there any real advantages of 4.0.4 over 2.3.4? Beyond a fresh interface and higher version numbers? Is game performance still worse in ICS than GB?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogobaba:
What about the home launcher is it still slow as hell/Now im on arconium muiu and i really like it but i still want to know about the 4.0.4
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] footyfanatic:
4.0.3 for me was really slow and poor all round. Although I mentioned it is slow in 4.0.4, it is only as slow as it was for me on 2.3.4. I wouldn't say its any slower. And so far it seems smoother once it has opened. Hope this helps!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guille26:
Feels much faster than 4.0.3 but light notifications aren't working and they're quite important to me.

It's far from perfect.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamBombtrack:
Hi. Thank you for all of your replies. I'm currently updating my phone thru PCC. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninsuko:
Did they fix digital compass bug in google map??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepsus:
It is a lot smoother than the last 4.0.3 release (that release was CRAP) BUT it still is not as smooth as GB :(

I think I can stand using 4.0.4 for a couple more days, then I'm flashing back to the buttery smoothness of GB.

I hope the next ICS release will be up to the quality of their GB releases.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamBombtrack:
how about the Battery and the Camera improvements? Thanks! ;)

I'm happy about the update, my Arc S got faster than I had from the previous version. :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikhail69:
If you guys are experiencing slowness or lagspikes after the ICS update directly from PCC or SEUS.. It would be best to do a backup and do a master reset..

What sony did was update the software and pretty much synced the current software and existing info with the ICS 4.0.4 update instead of completely deleting the GB software and installing ICS..

I also did my daily routine with the new update to find out the battery life difference.. For me its much more efficient..

There is still the issue with the digital compass of google maps..

Some apps are not yet optimized for ICS but thats acceptable since ICS only holds a very small percentage of users compared to GB users..

The camera feels more faster in response time.. The update now has an option to enable/disable an on-screen shutter button.. But i still prefer the touch-screen snapping option instead of the shutter button option though..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamBombtrack:
can you teach me how to do Master Reset? Thanks. :)

Btw, why does the camera image quality in 4.0.4 became blurry even it uses Auto-Focusing? :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyM3:
Hey everyone.

I'm a paranoid kinda guy, so one of the first things I installed on my phone was Prey. This way, I can probably trace it down if it gets stolen - and there's also Lookout's Plan B, so I don't have any issues in the tracking department.

What I do have an issue with is my data on the phone. If I password protect the phone, a thief would probably just pull out the battery and try to sell it - I can't track it down anymore. If not, a thief would have access to all my contacts, messages, emails and chat logs - not something I'd like, especially since the thief would get Plan B's reports and would probably realize the phone's being tracked.

So what I'm looking for is an app that deletes my personal data on command - say, when I text a specific message. I've looked high and low, but didn't manage to find anything like this. Does it exist, or would I have to write it from scratch?

Also, in the case that the thief actually knows what he's doing, is there a way to password protect the recovery image?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
To be honest If the thief knows what he is doing then he will just wipe the phone once he realizes its locked. There are a few apps out there that will allow you to remotely wipe your device. Might want to look into that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyM3:
I don't want to wipe it completely if it's stolen, I want to wipe my personal data (contacts, emails, etc.) and maybe find it. Maybe you do, but I don't have enough money to make "buy another one" an option.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaarax:
I think this app can help you:

Lookout

I have read that it can wipe out your data and find your phone, its free but if you want to have more benefits you can pay

also you can read this page to have a better point of view

I dont think its placebo, i just installed this mod and touch seems really more sensitive and accurate, that was i missing from my previous phone (Arc), now it really is close to perfect touch screen :)

maybe its not just hardware, maybe this apk and .so are making the difference too, changing the way the touchscreen is reacting to touch.

Hello

I did accidentally have a power failure on my computer when flashing version 4.0.4 to my Galaxy Nexus and the phone keeps booting on recovery menu automatically.

I have tried to flash different version using fastboot and Odin but always get an error saying my bootloader is locked use "fastboot oem unlock"

When try to unlock using the command the phone displays a selection screen asking to unlock the bootloader YES/NO, If I select YES the fastboot line returns the following error FAILED (remote: Unknown Partition) and the bootloader keep locked.

I have tried a thousand times without success and I am not able to utilize any firmware because is not permitted until I manage to get the bootloader finally Unlocked.

Pls help

Thanks

First of all, use ANY toolkit (Mine's in the description ^^)

Then unlock your bootloader (Open cmdthe type:

fastboot oem unlock

You'll need ADB/fastboot drivers installed, though...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
There's no point using a toolkit, how it sounds to me is you somehow messed up a partition when flashing the update.

As someone already said try flashing an ota update through the stock recovery (if you have stock recovery)

It was probably the bootloader that got messed up when your power went.

Try flash a new bootloader too, see how that goes.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndiS21:
I am having the exact same issue. Trying to flash, format or dare i even say erase won't do anything to the bootloader, trying to access recovery on mine it says failed, trying to unlock the bootloader through oem unlock, prompts the failed : remote unknown error code. :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nex_big_thing:
use the galaxy nexus toolkit to unlock bootloader, root
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Apparently the power outage messed up your partitions, causing the unlock command to fail. And since your bootloader is still locked, both fastboot and Odin cannot be used to flash anything. If you have root, you can try unlocking the bootloader with the bootunlocker app.

PS: advice that says 'use toolkit X' is pointless by the way. Toolkits are just GUIs around fastboot and adb, if the raw fastboot commands don't work, Toolkits won't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndiS21:
Thats true, every tool kit i have tried has failed, even fastboot commands, at least the latter tell you that it fails. Where can i download the bootunlocker app? Does my Nexus 7 have to boot into the rom to do this? Because mine can't. :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Incorrect.

This is a thread specifically created to help users with superbrick issues after wiping their devices while in ICS (ICS Kernel) to find and maybe contact users in their same countries that can help others reviving their Note.

Why?

I haven't come into this problem yet, but if I were, I would like to see a thread like this mainly because the guide requires some technical knowledge that not every user has.

Users willing to help (asking donation or not, I don't really care...) may even help via PM or telephone in your own native language.

How?

We will use as input, the thread: "[Guide]How to revive your bricked Gnote" by uggies http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661590

Basically I will update the OP with the information you Galaxy Note users provide in this thread (All in one place Country State Users who succeeded reviving their bricked Galaxy Note), specifically if you SUCCEEDED (S) or FAILED (F) using forest1971 and uggies help and guide to revive your bricked Galaxy Note.
