Yea,,, they even sent me a txt... But i already had ivs installed and rooted so, i wont fall in att crap

Also i dont know abour u guys.. But my battery life changed from 6 hours to 48 hours of regular use and 4g lte always on

sent from xperia ion att rooted with ics
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Asiansniper911:
Eh mine went from 8->10 hours of usage, 36% of battery usage is from the screen, 29% is standby.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
i actually like the AT&T ICS

I like the caller ID that shows the citi/area of the incoming call. It feels faster/smoother even with AT&T bloat sill installed, but i have done a lot of init.d mods to my old ICS and thought it felt slower. The volume of speaker sounds louder.

The reception appears to be worse for me. I have never heard static on a call before with ION, and 1-2 bars(out of 5) where I normally have 3-4(out of 4) with .233 FW. I really hate the Iphone like 4G icon for the H network. no LTE towers here. I will be looking into the changing of the 4G icon back to H.

And the keyboard, with no spell check bar on top, stinks. Will be getting the one back from .233

so far over all with CWM and root I like the this update, after the bloat is gone. :)

Edit: just found the keyboard settings earbrain talks about:) and the caller Id is an app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Improved Haptic fb. The Xperia KB skins are a nice touch, I'm diggin the dark holo-like one. It has spell-check.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] princemarcus19:
Anyone having issues with the.inside Xperia fb, pic are not displayed for contact id
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Yeah I'm not having that issue but I am experiencing gliches with the fb messenger app. Doesn't draw right until I tap the text field to bring up the kb. That's the only thing I've been able so far to relate to our ICS update. I suspect facebook to be the culprit as it's been buggy ever since last weeks updates.

Hopefully things will get smoothed out soon. eb
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] princemarcus19:
i reinstall the ics update lastnight eveything good beside the fb issues i had before, so hope the fix that.:cool:

You'd probably be banned. The forum for this device has been modded to death. They should ease up and let people communicate here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Or.... Search, read and post in the threads we have already. Unless there truly isn't a thread covering something, unlike the redundant thread you needlessly started.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
You guys know I wasn't trying to start anything. I was curious if we created a bug/glitch thread if Sony would actually see it and patch things. There was no ill will with me asking about the thread, I know how forums work and how redundancy gets old fast. Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
It's all good, just funny how some people get an attitude to defend they're laziness and poor forum form.

I would search the ion forum for your glitch, if you can't find it then start a thread, simple as that. Thanks for understanding.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
So I finally settled on using the att ICS. I cannot stand the stupid att boot splash and sound. Well to my surprise changing this is a lot easier than my x10. You just need root then put the zip file in the right folder and check permissions and reboot. Now I have the stock Xperia T boot splash and wallpapers from earbrains thread here

I am on .107 and got a notification today new firmware .105 to update strange
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
.107 was not an official firmware that AT&T meant to release yet. They identified a bug with it as well that caused update notification loops. .105 is the current official firmware. That said if you are still on .107 can you go to landscape on the home screen without being plugged in? I thought I experienced that when I had .107 briefly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JaredP:
Mine doesn't do landscape on .107.

I had seen the messages about the update loops, but until today I had not been prompted to downgrade to .105

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rkmoran:
Question: sometimes when I shut my phone down it goes through the motions like it's going to, then it restarts. Once everything comes back up I shut it down the second time and it'll actually turn off. Anyone else have this happen? Any fixes?

Thanks in advance,
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Careful not to get stuck w/o sufficient recovery tools. Could suck big time.

On that note has anyone yet got into a situation(w ion) then successfully used PC Connect to recover??? I used it successfully a couple times w the x10 and man it sucked. Glad it eventually worked though. eb

ps: Thanks for the inside info spectre51.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
So with at&t that means after Christmas they will tell us that they are dropping the ion and no updates will be made, if they follow the x10 path. Lets hope not. My upgrade date is 7/24 and it will be the ion. Lets hope the price of the international LTE version is low enough for our XDA devs to get, looks exactly same specs so should help the at&t version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Hope not bro. eb
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xxolvrdrmxx:
generic?

Anyone know if Sony will release the US generic version or are we gonna have to wait for the much delayed and obviously bloated AT&T version? When I had the X10 from AT&T, I was able to flash the US generic gingerbread version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
In the Sony global store there is both a hspa+ & LTE versions of the unlocked ION. Pretty sure no USA sales allowed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xxolvrdrmxx:
Sorry, I was actually talking about the ICS update for the xperia ion. And whether they would release a generic version of ICS for USA or are we going to have to wait for AT&T to release their version of ICS along with bloatware and restrictions. thanks though, I got mine already from the Sony store in the US.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
UPDATE: ICS update maybe as soon as August 17th. Fingers crossed.

New firmware version PTCRB certified in July 6th: 6.1.C.0.355

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Auggy99:
That's frigging awesome
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xtacee1990:
There's no good reason why ATT wouldnt want to release this phone w ICS. Releasing a phone w GB is simply while JB has been announced is like deliberately trying to stall sales of the device, both in actual usage and marketing perspectives. I think this is purely Sony's part.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
I cant find the link ATM but Sony made a post on their dev blog about why they weren't going to be fully jumping head first into ICS. I THINK they saw its extra ram usage as a drawback or something. I cant remember all the reasons they listed. But its definitely songs call this didn't release with ICS. The 2011 devices got it before this even hit shelves. Not gonna lie Id love them to go right to JB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reddog:
Do we know what this update fixes?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
It's ICS so it changes a lot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Auggy99:
I doubt that since the international version of the ion was released with ICS from the get go
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerrudo:
that makes me sad inside :crying:

curse at&t for crippling such an awesome phone! They seem to favor Samsung devices...screw their OLED and over saturated colors!!

When I ordered my phone through 611 the repp had no idea this phone even existed aside the fact I could have purchased it $50 cheaper the dude hooked me up with free express shipping and ordered one for himself.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Doubt what?

And No the international version did not get released with ICS wasn't. Only the lt28h which is the non-lte version was supposedly released with it but doesn't seem anyone on here has gotten that one
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reddog:
Please help me understand what I am missing. My phone is currently running 6.0.C.1.257 firmware. The PTCRB site for the LT28at shows 6.0.C.1.267 was released June 12th.

I run the official Sony update program and it tells me that my phone is update to date?? Is this correct?? How do I at least get my phone to 6.0.C.1.267??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
.257 is what was released. They don't always release firmware that gets certified.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] glenroebuck:
Didn't the Arc S get an ics update? that has single core and 512mb of ram so I don't think memory on the ion would be an issue?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] idiotzach15:
The hardware isn't an issue. I bet the software engineers at Sony were just too busy compiling ics for the 13 2011 devices that received the ics update to create one for the ion. Plus the xperia S just got an ics update, which has the same hardware as the ion for the most part. I think if we don't see ics soon, they might push us straight to jelly bean.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] paul-c:
That would be really awesome if Sony did that.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xxolvrdrmxx:
Do you know if there will be a generic ICS firmware for the US? I would like to flash that instead of the AT&T specific firmware which has tons of bloatware and several restrictions. Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
I'm not sure we would be able to even if there was.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xxolvrdrmxx:
Yes it's possible. I did it before for my xperia X10. For that, I just downloaded the firmware and flashed it onto the phone using flashtool. Best thing I ever did for that phone. Hopefully they release a generic version for the US.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Don't have any specifics on that. Sorry. I too hope there is a North American generic.

Any new news about 4.0? just inquireing
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] phillip zanders:
So does anyone know how or y cynogenmod and other people haven't started dui.g custom roms for this device yet. From my understanding the phone can be rooted and bootloader unlocked. If anyone could shed light please.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] accts:
For most having the LT28at which does not allow bootloader unlock. Unless if you read the pay version for sim-unlock, you might get your bootloader converse to 'yes'. Because it is so new and you have to pay, I don't think many people jump on that yet.

If not mistaken, Spec said ICS update is Aug. 17. Let just cross our fingers that is true. And ICS is easier to exploit unlock bootloader. Maybe after that people will start developing custom Rom or custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
No new updates lately. August is just an early estimate. Hope it pans out but not holding my breath that at&t will get it out that quick.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] phillip zanders:
Can't we just use the Ssoftware and then do tweaks?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Auggy99:
yeah we can, you should get to work on that

I wish I had the know how or id be on it. I know how to install roms, kernals, root and unlock. But thats it. I want to learn more just would even know where to start.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Any chance that you can get a ftf of the update?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Something makes me think this is again one of those ICS firmwares like before that you need an unlocked bootloader to flash as it isn't an official release or the build.prop was changed to make it show LT28at. Notice that device says Sony Ericsson at the top. Retail ions are not being sold with Sony Ericsson labeling. Those are more than likely pre-retail versions which probably allow other firmwares that aren't meant for retail devices.

There isn't a certified release using that build number according to: http://ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=20811
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gbil:
6.1.c.1.73 is already out for testing so I doubt that .62 will be the release to public one. In any case, this is a valid firmware but for test devices.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
I looked at the webpage from Gfan.com that picture came from and yea it is an engineering (prototype) device for the LT28at, so they will always get updates before us.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
They must be holding back on certified versions, I just don't think they would this amount of time to play with the same version and it being good and not releasing it. My LT28h with ATT baseband is moving nicely, so I don't really understand what the real problem is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Ditto, so I'm no longer worried about when AT&T releases it. haha.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:

The main problem for CM10 or CM9 is that there are no binaries for them to use to build the rom from. That is going to be a lot of our problem also when we start building roms.
