Hi, only i have problems with NFC share files? ;/ i have two nokia n9 and i can witout problems sharing file via nfc, but sony xperia s cannot accept files from n9, nothing happen...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
I've made your tutorial but there is no SU icon in my aplications! What todo ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] noob.fl:
you can

- try to reflash

- download supersu or Superuser from google play and try to update the binary

if both not work you can

- download supersu.zip, flash the recovery and install it manual (and then reflash the kernel.sin)

or

- try the manual way with the ftf, the recovery and the kernel (<- thinks its the best way and should work without any trouble)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
That's strange, if everything went fine you should have. Otherwise try to download it from Google Play and see if it works with some app that requires superuser permissions.

EDIT: You have been already answered, didn't see the answer above ;)

Somewhere back i have been answered that i can relock the bootloader fine after having the device roooted.

If i unlock the bootloader, root the device, and relock the bootloader afterwards, shouldn't that be the same as rooting without having to unlock the bootloader?

I mean, in the end you have a rooted device with locked bootloader anyway.

I think i'm indeed missing something here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Giskardors:
Anybody having troubles with apn?

I cant active it, i cant browse anything....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lord Takyon:
You need unlocked bootloader to flash the files for root :-)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Beware!

Relock bootloader should work only if you dont use modified kernel! Or if the kernel is having the sin header!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirio:
OK, guys. Today I got my Xperia S, it had Gingerbread installed, so (after cheking, if everything works properly) I did the obvious - flashed to ICS via flashboot. And here is my problem - after (successful!) flashing I can not turn on either WI-FI nor BLUETOOTH.

Then i tried to reflash (using both CH and DE ROMs), didnt help. In each flashing I wiped all data.

First of all - does anyone have solution for this, please?

And second of all - where can i find 2.3.7. Gingerbread (stock), so that in worst case scenario i could be able to flash it back to old FW where both wireless and BT worked.

I am really desperate here, help please.

Thanks a lot!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
I don't have a solution, other than try flashing it again... if not here's the link to the thread with GB firmware

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirio:
Well, I already flashed 3 times, still the same issues. I am on WIN 7 (64), maybe I will try flashing on good old XP.

Maaaaaaaaan, this is bad... :-(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Xadious:
Did you try the factory reset option on the phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SFU11:
make sure you're not in flight mode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
What is flashboot? I know only flashmode or fastboot there is no flashboot.

If you flashed the ROM with fastboot it is normal that you dont have any modem functions, you need to flash the rom with flashtool, full wipe, flash all partitions, kernel, amss etc etc ALL! Even wipe data and then try again!

Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] slyevo:
What did you use to flash it? I have windows 7 x64 & flashed without any problems?

I have used Fastboot for rooted image file & Flashtool 0.8.6 for ftf
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirio:
Xadious: Sure, I did. Everytime.

SFU11: Thanks man, but I am not that unexperienced... :-)

Bin4ry: Flashtool, sorry for misspelling. I used flashtool (0.8.6.), and this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725078 I did full wipe, of course. But what do you mean by: "flash all partitions, kernel, amss etc etc ALL! Even wipe data and then try again!". How should I do that, please?

slyevo: Same OS as you, didnt do root, just upgraded to ICS. Used flashtool (0.8.6.) and FlashTool.exe, not FlashTool64.exe (driver error message).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sandydude:
Hi Bin4ry,

I have successfully flashed ICS and its working great.

I am facing the lagging issue which I want to get rid of if its possible.

The battery is lasting more than 2 days and the camera is too good.

Please provide a solution to overcome the lagging.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] noob.fl:
1 possibility: dont use 3rd Party Widgets

2. possibility: take a launcher replacement (Apex works great n smooth and damn fast ;) )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sandydude:
I am not using any third party widgets, when I return to home screen the folder with the cam, walkman and other stuff its refreshes after 2 secs and when I go to other screen the icons refresh.

Shall I flash it once again?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wing_zero8556:
Is this stock launcher? I recommend using a 3rd party launcher like apex of nova because the stock launcher suffers from redraws quite a lot apparently. Also enable gpu rendering in developer options.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sgsgs:
Did you flash using Flashmode or Fastboot mode? In flashtool, you are allowed to select this option when you click on the flash icon. You need to select Flashmode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirio:
sgsgs: Flashmode, of course, as is written in the guide ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725078 ).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chitose_ndy:
any pre rooted .img DE ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Well i am on stock kernel. Don't know about the sin header of the kernel but if you really meant an OR then having the stock kernel would be enough.

Should i try relocking the bootloader? I think you lose DRM access and SEUS updates with unlocking it. Will i regain them after locking it again?

(My guess is that DRM access is gone forever.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] juzz|NOR:
DRM is lost once unlocking bootloader. That is on the disclaimer when unlocking it on developer.sonymobile.com. Should have read it. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SFU11:
what is DRM used for?

and is there any change to get DRM again while re-locking bootloader?

sorry for noob question.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900i:
what is the difference between ch/de and other versions, does it have a noticeable differnce or all are the same?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aresbv2000:
sorry for asking....but...what`s the diference between generic CH,generic DE,generic CE1...etc?it`s actually a diference of software installed on that rom...or just language support?thanks in advance...and Xperia S rules:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] noob.fl:
the differents are not as big... Langauge suport is the same (because Android is normaliy multilingaul) - there are differents in a few preinstalled apps (but just the removable, not the sysapps) and in the build.props are different regions presetting, so you got access to specific Country relatet apps in google play with different roms ;) thats all
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aresbv2000:
Ok...thank you very much...so is not that big deal..i was waiting for the generic CE ICS because i thought it was a big diference between them!i`m runing now Generic CH..an it runs perfectly!thanks again!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
Nothing really useful, at least for me; it is just a form of protection for media contents. It is used by TrackID for example (which i don't use anyway), and maybe other apps which sells media content but i'm not sure which ones.

RO : updateul T-mobile nu a aparut inca, pentru ca inca e prea devreme, dar o sa apara in zilele urmatoare, dar iti recomand sa nu-l mai instalezi :) . O sg varianta ar fi sa revi la GB si sa dai update pe fiecare zi pana cand iti zice PCC ca a aparut ICS pentru telefonul tau. :-s

ENG : T-Mobile update is not be launched, so that's still too early, but will appear in the coming days, I recommend you to not install it anymore :). A sg option would be to go back to GB and give try to update on each day until PCC says that a update for ICS is available.

Hi everyone,

I read several pages and tried several searches but I cannot find what I want...

So, ICS on the Xperia S is really good. Everything sounds ok, except when I use the 3G. On Wifi no problem, good battery life, but 3G drains my battery like 1% per minute !!

Could it be because the radio baseband (or something like that) is for Switzerland and then my phone uses more energy to reach the French 3G network (not the same settings) ? In the past, with my HTC I saw this problem, and after updating my radio baseband then the battery was ok on 3G.

Any clue ?

Thanks

Guys, avoid Generic CH. It's full of bugs that aren't in the DE version. There is an issue with the camera flash firing too early, and FM radio doesn't work properly for most people on the CH version.

Generic DE has also been reported to be slightly smoother, for some reason, but I'm not sure if that is true.

In any case, if you flash, flash Generic DE. Not CH.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rmk152:
Excellent Thankyou :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] don_gabrielli:
I absolutely have no issues with the CH version. Except for the wireless reception which indeed seems lower than GB. But this is in all ROMs. I do not think they change code between firmware regions that affects flash, fm reception etc... People having battery issues should also check the apps they are running and how much juice they are using. I initially flashed ICS with a full wipe but installed no applications on it just to see how it behaves for a couple of days. I think this is how you test and get a feel of clean ICS first. And all was perfectly fine. Then I started installing the apps I use most etc... Some apps also have update frequencies that can drastly affect the bsttery. If you put 3g watchdog's pro refresh frequency to 1min so that it updates 3g usage every min, the battery drains much faster than if you have it update every hour. And so on.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blakwhite:
Although the wifi signal icon shows less bars than gb, it has good signal. It receives signal even when it shows no bars. It seems to be more of a cosmetic effect rather than a performance issue.
