i flashed the CH firmware on friday morning and got also battery draining problems.

during normal use on saturday my battery lasts for only ~ 24 hrs, thats - 33% from .75 usage.

restored all my apps (~30) from backup but did not check the power saving app.

i have waited until sunday then i flashed back to .75. perhabs just one day using is not rerpresentative but that draining was too much :( and i really liked ICS features.

also i noticed lower WiFi signals, but could live with that.

i hope SONY will take a look on the battery issue. :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jatt101:
No problem. It's surprising how your the only one suffering from this. And for people noticing battery draining problems, look into the power saver app, it's always retarting, I think that's probably preventing the phone from entering deep sleep. And yeah I do notice a scroll lag as well and when you pinch the home screen to see all the widgets, there's a lag present there as well. Other than that, everything works fine. Hopefully they release an update addressing all this
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scook94:
I used Titanium Backup to freeze the Power Saver app but it didn't make the slightest difference to the battery drain.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] olaf313:
thx. i was on the verge to reflash ICS and freeze the app. have you tried to disable it instead of freezing ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scook94:
No I only froze it, verified that it wasn't showing up as a running (or restarting) process and left it at that. It didn't benefit the battery drain and I opted to go back to GB instead.

??? The post is from this morning but the news is from last week. SONY has stopped the roll-out resp. release the update successive as the servers went down about the heavy load
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaapo76:
6087 still missing, ics is so laggy&buggy that i dont know if I even want update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jatt101:
anyone figure out whats causing the deep sleep issue? i jsut checked, and im suffering from it to, but i barely have any applications installed, and all the ones i have installed are known ones
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
Just restart the phone and it'll work. I sometimes lose it as well

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] subben2003:
Could someone please tell me, and others, about the meaning and problems in generel with deep sleep and why its an issue

TIA
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
for me the phone doesn't go into deep sleep after awhile. usually after charging. a reboot fixes it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Razje:
Damn I hear alot of people whining about laggy and buggy ICS, bla bla bla.

Srsly just test it for yourself if you're still on GB.

I've been running it for almost 3 days now, and it's awesome.

GPU performs better, battery time got way better. (now @ 1d23h / screentime 3h30m)

and ICS just looks and feels great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Steve3581:
Well it seems they have just updated the list of updates from last week. None of these are dated for today for example

Hopefully there are more planned for today! *fingers crossed*
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LitoNi:
then again my back SI number is on the list but no updates.

my service menu SI number is also different and not listed on it.

well i guess i have to wait for the Service Menu SI number to pop up on the list
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
I had the power saving widget stop updating, saying 100% battery when it was down to 69%!

The power saving didn't automatically trigger either at 1am as set to. This morning it had gone back to normal but not reactivated data sync.

Definitely a few bugs here and there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Steve3581:
This is a point interesting to me, I have noticed the SI number on the rear of my handset does not match the one on the software of my telephone

look in the hidden service menu to see if your customisation number matches

to access the menu do the following from the dialler

*#*#7378423#*#*

look under service info then, software info, then look at customisation number
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
its confusing... Don't know which we should look out for, the one on the back of the device or in the service menu?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Guys who are facing battery drain, launcher redraw or bad memory management can you please try to do a clean install,that means factory reset and do not use any of your backup,just install all the apps again from play store.

Trust me all bugs come cause you restore applications from a previous backup.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hello_hello:
That factory reset is just equivalent to wipe user data while in flashtool right?

Anyone experiencing low voice call in voip like viber? It just fine when it was in GB. That's just too bad
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LitoNi:
lol well ill tell you once i know.

my back cover SI number is 1257-0870 whereas my Service Menu SI number is 1257-4655.

since 1257-0870 is on the list and it still says i have the most updated version i guess i have to wait for 1257-4655 pops up on the list to confirm if its the service menu number they are talking about or not.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Maxesz:
Someone said in the forum that the SI number in the service menu is what you should looking for. Well, my SI in the service menu is 1257-5106 but under the cover it's 1257-5386.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
and yet on the page which lists the updated numbers, Sony show a picture of the back of the device.... oh well, guess i'll find out in a couple of weeks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] harishrohaj:
List has been updated.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Steve3581:
That would make sense, The update software can read the SI number off the phone, but not off the sticker on the rear of the machine. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] olaf313:
that based on personal experience or official statements ?

if thats true i would give ICS a second chance. :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dSayonarab:
SI 1257-5188 here, flashed to CH (I couldn't wait!)

I have none of the issues above apart from the WiFi issue - my signal strength is crap.

Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 SP1 says signal is excellent: My phone is right next to it and it's strugging to breathe data. There's only one wall between me and the 802.11n router (which is literally brand new).

EDIT: In response to above: Did a clean flash, reinstalled all apps from the Play Store. No battery drain, launcher redraw, or bad memory management here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Steve3581:
new wall or new router? hehe :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Crunkzilla:
They skipped 0986 :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Evynnstarr:
Why is the release date written as 22nd for the new updates ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
probably the date they started pushing those updates to their servers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dgattenb:
Back in the old days ( when I had my desire ) I used to add a new rom and the first thing I did was factory reset , clean it .. and start again ... always had a smoth phone ... and it worked fine.

What I have seen is that you folk are adding ICS to your phone , not doing anything else and expecting miracles.

If you reinstall Windows 7 on your PC, from Windows XP , do you run a clean install or just shove on the top ?

remember your phone is as powerful ( if not more ) than some pc's go back 5 years and look at what you had as a phone then ...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
That's what I was trying to say.

People here are so lazy and they want everything perfect.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
No people are not lazy.

People are consumers of electronics and pay for things to work.

If Apple is able to support upgrades which don't wipe anything yet work smoothly it means it's possible.

I don't have so much free time to **** around with my phone with every update.

Restoring 70 apps and all the settings is actually disgusting job to do.

When you pay 500Euro for a phone yes you expect "miracles".

P.S. On the PC updates on Win7 don't wipe anything either, and it goes on through years now.

Stop trolling.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Evynnstarr:
Relax
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Its not a GB-GB update,all the system has changed so indeed you have to do it clean.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
No you don't.

It doesn't say so.

All the current updates of other devices are retaining the data,

that's how it's designed.

It's 2012, not 1995.

Battery Drain on Ics

Where is this supposed battery drain happening?

Here is a screenshot of my Xps on Ics, Best thing since sliced bread in my opinion. Yeah there maybe a few little niggles but they will get ironed out by either sony or the awesome modders on here!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wing_zero8556:
What launcher are you using? I'm using apex launcher the Widgets freezing doesn't seem like it is only this ics update, seems like a general ics problem or something because people have been reporting the same thing with nova launcher as well. I've cleared data for the launcher for now and will see how that goes
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
As you like,you are the future man :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
If Sony managed to make a ICS without having to make some bug fixes, i think it would be a world first.

Just look at other OS or brands, and how they allso release bug fixes after they release a new OS or brand.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] olaf313:
you're the expert, i'm just working here ;)

but when i install Win 7 i dont need to perform a reset... so i thought when i flash a firmware and enable all wiping options, that afterwards the phone is already in a "factory reset" condition. it is not ?

to restore all apps from GB *could* be a problem, indeed...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
:D but don't you think I'm right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] slyevo:
But when you install windows 7, You don't have third party apps installed.

You have a fresh OS....

Restoring apps from older system don't help matters...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
No :D

Android is not ios nor Windows os,it's a very sensitive os in my experience.

How can you make sure that the restore applications doesn't include bugs??

Why don't you try my method?you don't have 20 minutes free Time??now you are here more than 20 min :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
It's not 20 minutes to restore all.

And it's a f..g pain in the a..s.

I still think it should work like I described.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
But I think upgrading from GB to ICS worth it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Well when my upgrade comes I will do it without any data wipe-off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
And without restore believe me is better.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scook94:
As stated elsewhere, that is exactly how I upgraded and I still had severe battery drain. No backups restored from anywhere other that contacts and calendar re-synced from Google.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
You are talking about when the display is on or standby???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] asilviug:
I have installed/flashed ICS on my xperis s. All is ok even with the known bugs that i am experiencing as well.

One thing is really bugging me: I no longer have flash support in ICS.

If anybody knows how to solve this issue please help.

I installed flash player both from phone and pc without succes.

My NI is not on the update list but i flashed my phone with an official release (Switzerland i think).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] olaf313:
have you performed a factory reset after flashing ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] scook94:
I'm talking about when I try and use my phone as normal (without heavy use) the battery went from 100% to dead in less than 8 hours.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
What restore?

I will just upgrade without any hard reset.

As others write here, it just works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
That's not normal,so what is eating your battery most?did you check?

Ok good luck.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Steve3581:
I can't currently connect to the upgrade servers via the PC companion, could this mean Sony are currently adding more SI numbers?

:fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
This is normal? System Android using that much battery? Data was on the whole time as it's draining pretty fast. Slower than with WiFi, thought...

One downside I have personally just noticed is that though the proximity sensor works, it doesn't lock the screen when you're in a call, unless there's an option someone has found that I've missed?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kartobot:
That would be done by the proximity-sensor anyways.

Log out from Latitude, that's most likely what's eating your battery.

I'm sorry, but that was completely uncalled for.

When's the last time you updated a Windows XP or Vista system to Windows 7? I'm willing to bet my Xperia S that it didn't keep all your programs installed, all your documents exactly where they were in XP or Vista.

You are correct in saying that Windows 7 updates don't wipe any of your data. ICS to ICS updates don't wipe anything either. But guess what? Gingerbread isn't ICS. Even if it's designed to keep all your data, the fact that it's an absolute pain in the ass to migrate everything smoothly between versions two version numbers apart without breaking things software-wise means that, even in 2012 on your 500 Euro smartphone, doing clean resets can be a good precaution.

Want to know why Apple can "Automagically" update their devices? Because there's so few of them, and they control both the hardware and software. How many iPhone models are there, all up? Less than Sony Ericsson's 2011 portfolio. If you want things to just work the way Apple does them, go and buy an iPhone. Don't expect Android to do things the way iOS does them, because it's not iOS.

Think before you type. You're the only one losing face.

For everyone else reading the thread - my phone automatically downloaded and reinstalled all my apps that I had before I updated to ICS as soon as it was relinked to my Google account. Your media is all stored on the "SD card" (the internal memory), which the ICS update doesn't touch, so you won't need to worry about that either. It's just your settings you need to worry about, everything else is either untouched or synced with Google (assuming you've enabled syncing).

Bugs could come from bringing things from GB, or they might not. It depends on the exact software on the phone. I had no issues with a clean ICS apart from very weak WiFi.

Just read the post above.

Apple had its fair share of disasters when people tried to upgrade iOS. It happens.

However, at the very least I'd say do the following;

1. Backup your data

2. Do the upgrade WITHOUT wiping data in flashtools

3. Let the phone upgrade itself and then give it a fair chance to do other updates, and remember that some apps now pull down more data (e.g. Google Mail may ask to collect 30 days of email, the gallery might want to download new Facebook/Picasa albums). Run the new movies app and Gracenote will want to read your video files to match with movies and download cover art etc.

There was a lot of background activity on my Xperia S when I upgraded, and that could be mistaken for things lagging. It might also show why the phone was consuming more power in some cases.

4. If after a day or three you can see things really aren't working properly, now you can consider the full reset and the hassle of restoring things.

As I said above, be aware that there are some reported issues that are affecting this build - like delays showing widgets and Wi-Fi problems. Don't do the full reset to try and fix this, as you'll be disappointed. Best wait for the next Sony update or simply hold tight and stick with 2.3.7 for now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Thanks for this.

That's what I thought - the upgrade process is finally made seamless and civilized instead of idiotic reinstalls etc.

Anyway, from this post post now I am almost sure I will skip this update and wait for the next one. Looks like Sony screwed a bit again.

I must say as much as I love Sony products I'm starting to be annoyed about this random hit-and-miss quality of the SW they propose. It's not professional.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
To be fair, the problem I'm having with the launcher restarting could be as much to do with the Skype app as Sony. Sure, Sony should make the launcher a high priority so it isn't closed as easily as it now is (and was on the Xperia arc and other 2011 Xperia devices pre-ICS) but it could well be that Skype is just hogging too many resources and with ICS reserving more RAM, it's causing the problem to become more apparent.

I'd consider doing the update anyway, then doing a patch later on (which I am certain will follow).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
@ jonmorris

Could be one of your apps is causing issues,why not??

Anyway Can I ask why you have 2 xps :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sixdaysandy:
Do you mean the screen on/off is a function of the proximity sensor, rather than the dialer recognising that the sensor has been triggered and behaving appropriately?

Anyway, Proximity Screen Off seems to fix this bug a treat for anyone else that it's annoying.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
BTW XP is almost 10 years old, where is the comparison?

And yes - Vista -> 7 is availabe also as an upgrade!

Edit:

So you guys say that the screen doesn't go off when you answer the call and put the phone to the chin?!
