[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinro:
For over an year, I have flashed my LT15i more than 20 times, trying all the official firmwares meanwhile (all rooted, of course:D). In my opinion, the daily consumption depends if I used more or less the radios, the players, the screen aso. Because my habits are more or less the same (I listen music and I read/navigate during my half an hour way with the subway, for example) I can affirm that the consumption is constant, around 40% daily. But, I consider that a good estimate could be done following the battery consumption by night. For me, this consumption is around 5%. With one exception: I had installed once an application (from the market!) which downloaded over night almost 10MB of ads, and drained my battery almost 20%! Never ever I have experienced battery drain with official firmwares...

is this other than .587?
[Xperia Arc General] Candy[MAN]:
This is .587.
[Xperia Arc General] mrw0rm:
This (.587) is already available for Xperia Pro (MK16i). There's baseband only image extracted from whole firmware at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1841396

mmm yeh right believe it when I see it
[Xperia Arc General] Blablaat:
And also available for the Arc S.
[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Not sure if it is .587.
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
They just pushed out .587 a week back. There's no way that would be releasing yet another version.

Yes, some bugs remains, sometime i have only one wifi bar, but wifi still works, video are still choppy. But phone apps and contact opens quick, services list show that i have around 150MB free RAM, and i can play Asphalt 6 So it's a big improvment over the 4.0.4 :good:

Test made with a fresh ARC S 587 stock with locked bootlader and root.

this is the same as .587
[Xperia Arc General] Minkysdad:
Hopefully they will finally fix ics, ive tried every release from sony and EVERY one of them is bugged to f**k
[Xperia Arc General] zedular:
Just updated my arc. Will see how it behaves. First notice phone dialpad opens in less than a sec. Messages same. Video in MX player is choppy only when i activate some of the on screen controls when they hide it is ok. Rest of the testing will be tomm. Still don't know abt skype. On last version skype was just shutting down after some time and after that took long time to start.

What's the problem ? With my phone, the led blink slowly in green when i miss a call. I'am on stock 587, locked BL.
[Xperia Arc General] n3n00:
Doesn't work for SMS.
[Xperia Arc General] spidermoon:
Just sending a sms to myself, and the led blink fast in blue, but only for a short 30s period.
[Xperia Arc General] Candy[MAN]:
LED notifications will work when the screen is on. Lock your device and send yourself a txt message from another phone and you will hear your notification tone but no notification light.
[Xperia Arc General] spidermoon:
Ok, i've test with screen off, sound and vibration off, so the led is the only way to know that something happens.
[Xperia Arc General] b_nikz:
doesnt seem buggy to me either
[Xperia Arc General] danisariandi:
Why doesn't it include walkman, album, and movie app ?
[Xperia Arc General] n3n00:
Those are Xperia S apps, you just need to do a few clicks to flash them.
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
In my case, the LED notification is working fine with both, messages and missed calls.

Update: For some messages it's working and for some it doesn't work.

Also, this update works much better than previous.

Here is my complete view on new update:

[Xperia Arc General] Thanak:
Not sure if the new update form Sony is good or not. I don't want to go back to stock. Tired of it and i want a pure ICS or JB rom so go with CM10, even if it's not fully work yet.
[Xperia Arc General] chandoliasnikos:
I'm on stock and rooted .587 for 5 days now and I think it's working fine. It's fast enough, no lag on sms or dialer and stable. The only bugs I found so far is the wifi signal (really lame) and the signal change when u restart the phone (I always choose gsm only but after a reboot it goes to wcdma/gsm automatically).
[Xperia Arc General] heinrichkaiser:
Ahh.. Right.. Didn't notice that earlier.. It does happen with me..
[Xperia Arc General] marcinq24:
what further changes the update?
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
I still dont get it... 3 ICS updates, 2 different basebands and still the same old kernel...they're taking the piss really...Update for what? Update for something that should have been the first version? "Minor bugs solved". Why dont they REALLY work on the update and release a final and worthy version? I'm pist off but I do recognize that Sony has more updatr than most brands.
[Xperia Arc General] Sandro8771:
Was the video zoom available initially on the arc or was that a feature accompanied in .431?

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

They forgot to include Euro soccer app and Wisepilot with .431 updates.2 20kb euro app was in my phone and a futher 5plus mb depletion of memory.
[Xperia Arc General] Pandemic:
Sony know what thier doing, look at the beginning mate, samsung gets ics as 1st i think and thier phones crashing and full of bugs like also for the others but except Sony, they are waiting and that was good of them and i think that we have the most stable ICS of all and Sony just improve it to make it faster and fixung tge tuny little buggies, why so a mad man about the kernel?? Just remember we have a 2011 device not 2012 so maybe in the future, so be patients;)

[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
Dude I couldn't care less about the other companies! Yes I have a 2011 phone but when I bought it, it was SE's flagship so the least that I can expect from them is respect. Respect for someone that invested money ( alot ) on their once "top of food chain" phone. I wrote what I wrote because It's my opinion and not you or anyone can tell me that its not right or worth it! I do not agree with the lets release X amount of versions policy. I do prefer one or two versions but good versions not that "mistake" called 4.0.3!

"2011 models can't hold ICS properly." What???? Check the 2012 models...perhaps only half of them have better specs than my Arc S if so. ;)

Yes I do want a new kernel and in my opinion its long due!
[Xperia Arc General] Major A:
What are your reasons to want so badly a new kernel ? Let's be clear, Linux 3.0 kernel is just a version number change, not a brand new branch with a fistfull of magic and performances inside. So you need a jump from 2.6.32 > 2.6.36 aka 3.1.0 ? Get over it, it will not improve anything, and it's better to keep an optimized kernel build than the latest and greatest with potential new issues on an older hardware.

Don't forget also that if version number might seem "low", it doesn't mean tweaking hasn't been high...
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
You have a point. It's better to have a stable one! ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Yovecio:
Ok but there are phones with the same arc s hardware from htc where is already implemented the new kernel, which seems work, maybe not perfect, but it's a good start.

Also DoomLord already started the develop of the new 3.0 kernel for the xperia 2011 series.

The new kernel should have better performances :laugh:, and i think Sony will release his sources... We must only have patience :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc General] maRRRco89:
You work for Sony !!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Sony is the worst company about upgrade and software improvements, very slow and absolutely no concrete.

Give a look to Gps bug for example, solved after 6 months, or Led bug still here, or wifi dropping issue, without speak about the worst wifi reception of all the smartphone world, only 45dbm, then video laggy, sound mono, slow dialer respons and more more more, now also network settings not saved, an epic fail !!! Neither a 50$ phone doesn't keep the network settings.
[Xperia Arc General] Pandemic:
No man i dont work for Sony, may i say my meaning??

All what you peeps is telling inly the bad things l, but let i telling to you all peeps, i have never a problem with my phone and never had, so you peeps doing some wrong things that what i saying, and bad thingsike wifi/signal/etc etc etc? I dont know but by mine Xperia Neo is all working good and i discovered not a bad thing!

Maybe you should use stock and not costum (no hard feelings to the costum makers, they doing good jobs)

Edit: Sony is slow? Hahaha no thats not true, and if yours is slow then you using to much apps etc

Mine is blazing smooth and fast and i use just stock with notification in lockscreen and my toggles, supercharger v6 and walkman by ThilinaC

So blaim it on LG, Samsung and all those others that releasing ICS to fast, because they are slow and full of bugs and not Sony dude

Sony is not the worst company on software / firmware. I've had a LG phone and the software was total crap!

On my LG (with A-Gps on) i dont even get a gps fix!

I get more reception on my Arc than on my Optimus.

Conclusion:

To make a long story short, SONY >>> LG

Be happy and just wait for updates! :angel:

Got the BB update OTA this afternoon. Downloaded. Used data connection. Easy, simple. Ten min. Start to finish. Was afraid it wouldn't reboot, but it did. Some minor problems since, but still too early to judge. Couldn't believe the push notification, and then update OTA!! First time with Sony, so its cool!!
[Xperia Arc General] frothe3:
Still some bugs, but phone doesn't freeze and become unresponsive unlike before UD. Phone still rotates to landscape on wallpaper.
[Xperia Arc General] uyo_kun:
the problem on this update for me is just keep changing to GSM/WCDMA everytime I reboot, but all is already good.
[Xperia Arc General] Sandro8771:
I think this update was only to include a couple of bloatwares which Sony omitted on .431 I.e.Wisepilot and the euro soccer apps!!! The other problems still there.

No, there is definitaly an improvement but wifi for me is still unusable...

Downgraded to GB as sony cannot release something that is fit for use

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevmeister46:
Hi All, i had a quick search but couldn't find the answer.

I moved my phone tariff to Giff Gaff - which is great btw.

I also own a WiFi tablet. so when out and about, using my phone as a wifi hotspot is the obvious and convenient choice. My Desire is on CyanagenMod (which includes WiFi Hotspot built in)

Apparently if Giff Gaff see you tethering they will remove your Unlimited internet, for the remainder of the month.

The reason is obvious, that they want more money out of you and want you to pay for a separate tariff for the tablet. I think this is unfair because not only would i now have to pay for a new dongle, but I have already paid for unlimited internet on my phone so should be entitled to my unlimited internet how i see fit (i'm not a big downloader, just surfing and emails). ALSO that's the "whole" point to a wifi hotspot - to use the 3g from the phone and extend it to another device.

I read somewhere that a rooted phone gets around this issue and the isp can't see that the data is tethered, when used in this way. Is this true? i'm already rooted. If i browse from my tablet over the wifi AP will Giff Gaff see it and stop my service?

Many thanks in advance.

Kev
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
I have no idea how mobile operators can detect tethering, maybe by browsers on the PC exposing the User Agent.

This app for example claims a separate tethering plan isn't needed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tether

Probably the encryption provided by the VPN tunnel hides such activity, so mobile operators can't read the data or how it's being accessed. But use at your own risk :)

There's a Tablet plan on GiffGaff that allows tethering - £5 a month. It's perfect for me as I don't call/sms much but probably wouldn't work for you?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfix2013:
Giffgaff will know your using tether no matter what app u use. I am also with giffgaff but after talks with them had my tethering granted whilst using £12 goodybag. I found out they use a system that detects names of devices your tethering to. For example your PC name is steven-windows.. They detect name windows and block you for 30mins. However fooling the system also does no work if you have just Steven as windows name the giffgaff detection system will still block you because it is unable to detect the system your tethering to. Change it to Stevens-iphone and you won't get blocked. This is tested by me and works 100%. I however am immune to tether blocks as a deal has already been arranged for me to tether as much as I like on my current £12 goody bags for life. Become a valued customer and tether blocks can be removed from your account. I also use tether to get my xbox online which I will discuss in later YouTube videos :)

Unfortunatly Galaxy S3 cant mount internal storage as usb. It is formatted in ext4. Adb is probably best option

No usb mount option in SGS3..connect adb..type adb push/pull /path of the target /path of destination.

Or if you are good at edify/busybox..create a updater script to flashed via CWM

Hello all,

I'm been a very happy Nexus user since I bought my phone in January. I've never experience any problems with the hardware or software until now. I noticed today that when I am in the stock camera app and slide over to view my pictures the app crashes/FC. I'm not sure when it started happening, again noticed today, but it did used to work fine before. I don't use my camera all that often so it's not a huge deal but since I am 100% stock + root I expect the stock apps to work fine.

Has anyone else's phone doing this? I tried restarting to no avail. YouTube video coming up! I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere. If so can someone kindly redirect me to the thread?

Never happened to me. Did you try clearing the Gallery's cache/data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
Hmm... while waiting for the video to upload to YouTube I did more testing and I think I have it figured out. I took a picture last week and rotated it counter-clock wise using QuickPic. When opening this particular picture in QuickPic everything works as expected but when I open the same picture using the stock gallery app the app crashes. So I guess the way QuickPic saved the picture (corrupted?) is making the stock gallery app bug out. Anyone else care to try to see if you can recreate the crash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
I did just now for both QP and Gallery. Didn't help.

YouTube video.

Sorry for the quality...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I can rotate with Quickpic and view rotated pictures in stock gallery just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
Thanks for the replies. I dunno maybe this picture just got corrupted somehow. I deleted it and all is well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Can't see your image (broken link?)

This is a longshot, but you could try deleting the folder /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.gallery3d

This will remove the Gallery's cache file so it will recreate it from scratch. I'm not sure if the clear cache command actually wipes the file or simply empties it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x Taz x:
I've had this probelm. I encountered it when I was trying to change the picture size. For some reason it wasn't too happy when I was making my pics smaller. What I did to fix it was ckear the data in the gallery app.

-Settings

-Apps

-Gallery (under "ALL"

-Clear data

Then I rebooted and I didn't have any problems. Hope this helps you out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
It's actually a YouTube link not an image. Doesn't show for me correctly using tapatalk also. But in the browser it displays properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
Yes, thanks for that. I also think something went awry when editing the picture. It doesn't seem to like it like you said. Since the picture wasn't that important I decided to just delete it.
[Blade General] Jamesch:
Hi,

I have a Gen1 Blade running custom 2.2 ROM, that I have flashed on it and it also has the latest Clockwork Recovery (via ROM Manager app).

I want to at least do a factory reset, but preferably flash a new, better ROM so that I can give it to another family member.

The problem is that it won't boot into recovery, not by holding the volume bottom down, nor by telling it to reboot to recovery. What it does is just show the green android logo and that's it.

It does boot normally, and everything is working as it should.

When I tell it to do a factory reset and the confirm it, the phone restarts and it is the green logo again. After a while I just have to remove the battery and it just boots up normally without anyting changed.

Is there a way to flash a new ROM without recovery, via PC and adb or something?
[Blade General] matt4321:
Latest gen1 supported CWM is 3.0.1.4 so you'll need to use that or update to gen2 to use the latest CWM

[Blade General] Jamesch:
That's all good, but how do I update to Gen2 if it won't boot into recovery?

I think I had an old version of CWM on which didn't work the last time I checked and that's when I upgraded CWM with ROM Manager which I assume flashes a compatible version, doesn't it?

I'll try 3.0.1.4 just to be sure

[Blade General] Jinxxed:
My CWM-6.0.1.1 and 6.0.1.2 (if you're up for testing, i'm pushing it because i need testers) support gen1/2/3 AND Chinese blades.

You can flash it by booting normally, then using adb and fastboot (search and download/install).

After installation it's as simple as typing:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery [name of the recovery]

fastboot reboot

That's it. Everything is intact and you have a working recovery.

If you're running Linux, make sure you're running as root before executing and add "./" at the beginning of each command.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xodus22:
Hey guys, I'm new to Android and have been using iOS for the last 4-5 years. I've been reading up on the basics and I'll be rooting with Wugfresh's toolkit soon.

First, I'm wondering if I can get OTA updates while rooted but on stock rom. If I can, then what options do I select on wugfresh's toolkit to maintain stock rom? If I cannot, what I do to get OTA updates in the future?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushpilotwannabe:
I use Wug's toolkit too and have never had to mess with any settings or run into any trouble. Also, it will run stock ROM until you deliberately load up another one, so unless you start playing with others, you shouldn't need to worry about having any trouble getting OTAs. If you do go with another ROM, devs are usually pretty quick about incorporating updates into them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Root alone has zero effect on ota for nexus devices. Neither does unlocking the bootloader.

You will receive them. If you're root and WITH stock recovery it will install no different then a completely untouched device.

With a custom recovery it will fail to install AUTOMATICALLY but will install just fine with a manual flash of the ota zip. Toggle the signature check in custom recovery may be needed and it flashes
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
just leave recovery stock, and download ota rootkeeper to backup your root.
