[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryknex:
By A Request I Finnaly Managed To Open This Thread.

The Goal Of This Thread Is

-To Allocate All The Pros. Cons. & Issues All Over The Net

After Long Awaited ICS Upgrade Of 'SONY XPERIA S'

-Posting Solutions If Anyone Finds Out One

A Little Words:

The Stable GB Of Sony In Sony Xperia S Was Outstanding,But When We're Dealing With ICS In It,

Results Are Quite Disappointing As Well As Comforting...?

With The ICS Update The Fact 'Weak Princess' Gets More Prominent In Describing The Phone One State

That Clearly Means The Beauty Increases With Lazyness?

While Maintaining The Style Statement, Sony Forgot The Market Craze Of Performace

And On The Top Of That Missing Feature (Wi-Fi Direct) Is Shownig A Perfect Crime:(

On Their White Paper

'But They Did There Best'-Could Have Been Said If It Was A Bit Early:victory:

If Its Possible I'll MAke A Quick Comparison Video In Future As My Friend Has Another Xperia S Still On GB

And Showing You The Advantages And Disadvantages... (GB v/s ICS.....FIGHT!!!!!!):fingers-crossed:

Let's Chart It Without Further Delay:o

PROS.:angel:

b)Video Bitrate Increases (Still To Be Confirmed After I Test It)

2>Gallery Is Laggy In Image Viewing,Pinch Zooming

3>Missing ICS Feature 'Wi-Fi Direct'

4>Movie App Does Not Support Regular movie Format (.MKV With .AAC)

5>Camera With No New Funtionality-Such As Burst Mode, Or Frame Grabber

6>Gaming Framerate Drops,Thats Benchmark

7>Power Saver Mode Malfuntions When Its Killed By ICS Task Killer

And Two Both Saver (Low Battery Saver & Time Saver Does not Work Simultaneously)

ISSUES:mad:

1>Wi-Fi Signal Drops*

2>Bravia Engine Not Working When Browsing Images In Gallery*

3>Very Low Ram, Effects In**

a)Multitasking

b)Application Loading (Specially In 'Phone' Appliacation)

c)Music Player Statter

c/a)Laggy Bluetooth Audio (Specially In Gaming & Multitasking

e)Low Gaming Benchmark

5>Appearance Of Useless Applications Can Not Be Uninstalled (For Non-Rooted Device)

6>Facebook Application Gets Older Layout

7>Battery Backup Drops Then GB .75 Kernel

(The '*' Points Didn't Occur In My Case After I Updated To ICS But I Mentioned This As Its Global Summery)

(In '**' Case I Like To Say That There Is A Fact Exist That Is 'Low RAM Is Useless RAM In Linux, But Still Some Say

The Free Ram Is Needed For Upcoming Application To Startup, But Still I've Mentioned These In Isues In Low RAM Segment)

Solutions

To Be Honest None Have Best Solutions For These Issues

But I Like To Shere A Partial Solution For This Low RAM Issue [By Googling A Little, I Came By This Process

Thats Disabling Some Applications In Settings>Apps>All (Tab)]

I've Attached Some Screenshots Informing You Some Apps I've Disabled To Get Some RAM (And It Worked).

As I'm A Medium Application User,So Before Doing This I Had 95-110MB RAM, Now Its 150-220 MB RAM

My View:

Its CONFUSING, Thats All I Can Say.I Wouldn't Reccomand You Guys To Upgrade Upto ICS,If Your Having No Issues

As You Can Watch Movies Even Without ICS Movie App

Play Songs Without So Called ICS Walkman Music App

Browse Pictures Well In GB Gallery, By Taking The Open Soruce Android Market Wide Range Of Gallerys Are Present

But Also I Wouldn't Discourage You To Roll Back To GB, If You've Dropped into ICS Dimention

Just One Loyal Statement Is, 'Oh! Sony Please Make A Bug Fix Update, Or Confirm Jelly Bean As Soon You Can'

(Not Taking Half Of The Year To Roll Out)

Thats All The Talk

Any Other Pros. Cons. And Issues And Even Solution If You Came Accross
