They both come with ICS installed. And they will get ICS update in the future for bug fixes and improvement. Now we have the 2.45 update already.

The Ion can give a day with full charge. Charge it at night to full and unplug it before you go to sleep. Go to work tomorrow, a couple hours of gaming, some texts and call, some 3G for web browing... When you you get back home, it still have around 30% left. I think it's good enough for me. But honestly, I wish they could make a phone with 3500 mAH battery.

4.3 and 4.5" is not that much different. I can fit the Ion in my pocket easily as the Acro.

I'm not sure about 4G but you can check out the phone full spec here. Sorry mate, I'm from VN and we don't have 4G here. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_ion_lte-4412.php

You might want to visit the Ion section for better result. My experience with the Ion was short so it might not be the best.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hanybanoub:
Thanks. Some listings on eBay show that Ion comes w version 2.3 Android. Strange.

Good to know about battery.

I take it you upgraded from Ion to AcroS? Any reason mate?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
My upgrade was like this: Arc S -> Xperia S (trade in because of the stupid yellow tint and clumsy front touch buttons). The Ion was good but I really want a water proof phone so I upgrade to the Acro S. They're both good phone but nothing beat having a phone that can survive bucket of water haha

The lt28h and lt28i are the same except the h does not have lte. The lt28h comes with ics. Lt28i and lt28at are on GB for now but update is coming in Sep/Oct. Lt28h and lt28i have unlockable bootloaders if unbranded.

Battery is okay after calibration. Nothing spectacular but not horrible either. You can flash the lt28h firmware on the lt28i (exlcuding baseband) to get ice and lte already. Works great.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Power button replacement? I do agree the S has a weak power button. Mine has become kind of squishy, hopefully I dont have issues with it. I bet I could fix the squishy sensation easily enough by taking the S apart and adding a little rubber or something under the button.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bl!GhT:
So the Acro S is better for India. Since we hardly get affordable 3G and 4G LTE is out of the question.

ION Review

Hello Guys...

here is a review about the ION LT28i (currently running the ICS 4.0.4 (LT28h) since past 3 days...

i luckily was able to unlock the boot loader and root my phone.

about the specs, it really is a sexy phone.

screen size, touch, earphone sound quality, camera (decent quality), hardware buttons (seem too immersed in the body and soft - especially the power button), strong build quality - unlike the S

the only thing is that...... XDA and CM have not yet invented the CM10 for this phone....

I am in search for a ROM of some oder phone in the meanwhile which may suit the LT28i/ah/h phone.

battery is also pretty decent.... gives me atleast 18 hrs uptime after using data, calling and lot of playing around.

I mostly use watsapp and browsing over it.

if anyone comes across a JB ROM for this phone, kindly pass it on....

Thanks and Regards to all....

How to sync facebook contacts in CM7/9????

found some help herehttp://niranjanthilak.com/facebook-sync-for-android-ics-devices/

but its not working with latest build of cm9......
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Shortcuts:
ICS itself no longer supports Facebook contact sync with the people app. Google made that decision, as I've seen documented on the web, probably related with privacy issues or merely competition. You can use 3rd party apps to do the same, like haxsync.

[Motorola Droid X2] fambaus:
I have been runnig CM9 for about two weeks. Really liked it.

Thought I would flash the build.props mashup. After I did I started getting the following message:

process com.android.phone is not responding. Couldn't do anything but pull the battery.

Plugged into power strip.

Went into CM7 Patched Recovery recovery. Wipe Cache and Dalvik. No change.

Wipe Data. No change.

Also ran Fix Permissions. No change.

Don't ask me why but I ran Key Test.. BAD MOVE. Couldn't get out of Key Test.

Pulled battery again.

Still plugged into power strip. Now I am stcuk at the red Motto M and can't get past it.

If I unplugged and reboot CM9 will start but again I get process com.android.phone is not responding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
The reason it messed up is because the mash up is already built into CM9 and probably has different tweaks by dragonzkiller. If you can still get into the recovery, try flashing the CM9 ROM zip again. It should overwrite the problem.

EDIT: Actually if you already wiped data, you may not be able to get into BSR. So if you cant get into the system, you may have to SBF. Unless you can use ADB to push BSR to the phone which I dont know how to do or even if it will work. I've never used that but read people talking about stuff like that.

If you cant fix it, follow the instructions here to reset your phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
[Motorola Droid X2] fambaus:
Thanks - nnow on the root!

SBF worked fine. Thanks.

Back on 2.3.4. On to root, except my employer has blocked to down site..

and then on to CM7 and CM9.

Thanks again JS
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Glad you got it back to working condition. Next time you have a problem like that, flashing the ROM again should take care of it. If not, try to always have a ROM backup on hand.
[Motorola Droid X2] fambaus:
And also, stay away from mashup when on CM9 as well as the Test Keys function in CM7 recovery.

If I hadn't foolishly done Test Keys my next step was to flash the ROM again.

Thanks again.

Hello there,

I've just flashed the new RUU EU with ICS and the problem is the same I've encountered with every custom rom I've flashed until now: Wifi doesn't work. I can activate, choose a connection, insert password and then nothing, It keeps telling me "Obtaining IP address" and disconnect. I thought it was something with the custom rom, but the problem is still here with official RUU. Could you please help? I think that if I can figure it out i can flash my beloved MIUI.

Please Help!!

Thank you

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] jchammerpants:
I am wondering if GSMArena's measurements might be off? I received a case for a Galaxy Tab 10.1 yesterday, and my Note was actually slightly UNDERsized for it. The shorter axis (from the power button edge to the charger edge) was perfect, but the Note is about 1/8 inch shorter than the case lengthwise. The other issue, though, is that the Note's buttons/ports are not in exactly the same location as the former GTabs. And there was no stylus slot.

But, I really like the case (see the link) because it has a hard-shell back, is comfortable to hold, has a strap to hold it closed or to slip my hand through, let's me rotate my Note to stand horizontally or vertically, and lets me charge it while it is in the case. And I got it for only $10, including shipping, which is a price I don't figure to beat for a comparable case.

So, I used a pair of tin snips, a dremel, and a little bit of double-sided adhesive tape to secure my note to the modified case. Took about 15 minutes, and now I'm a happy camper...

Hey so im planning on putting sky-ics on my skyrocket and would like to know what the difference is from all the different kernels and radios are. Can I have a different kernel version then radio version(like have a uclf6 kernel with a uclf5 radio). Which one will give me the best reception?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Do more research you aren't ready clearly.

Yes you can use different kernels as long as they are for that type of ROM

Radios are the only thing affecting reception kernel wont do anything for that and are device specific not ROM specific

This is basic info if you don't know these things you should not be flashing but reading do yourself and us old timers a favor
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Search before posting. Search search search search search before posting.

You can use any Sky-compatible kernel with any ICS radio. Don't go flashing Instigator's kernel under Sky, because you will be back here pleading for help with your $600 paperweight. Sean has a comprehensive list of kernels and radios in his OP; mix and match from there and you're safe.

As for reception, SEARCH. Every radio is different and will give you different results depending on where you are. I've taken to keeping 3-4 radios on my SD card for when I travel, as the one that works best for me at home is often not the one that works best for me in Chicago, New York, DC, etc. Even got myself a little list of which radios work best for me where so I can flash before I fly. Point being, no one radio is better than any other, and you have to experiment with them to find out which works best for you.

Noting in any of those guides pertains to my question of what the difference from all the different radios and kernels are, there is not a description for each of them as their should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
That's really because something like that can't be written. A radio is a radio. There is no fundamental difference between them; any difference you notice between radios is a product of the network in your area being better tuned to one radio than another. The only way to gauge that is to try several.

As to kernels, again, there's really not a ton of difference. Some have BLN, some don't. Some support OC/UV, some don't. You have to read the individual threads for each kernel, decide which features are important to you, then start testing them for yourself to find which one works best for you. Everyone's usage is different, so the kernel I like is one you might find to be terrible.

Does it make a little more sense now as to why no one's given you a "guide to radios and kernels"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robcore:
For AT&T, the UCLF6 radio is latest radio update made available. You'll probably have the best luck with that one. However, as others have posted, it depends on where you live, what type of network connection you're on (lte, 3g, edge), etc, so trying different radios is the only way to know for sure.

Kernals for the phone can be found in skyrocket dev, read around and find out which ones fit your needs. You need to dig for this stuff.

All that being said, we as new members are in no position to make demands of those who provide info and resources to us. This community is made up of volunteers who offer their time and expertise free of charge, and deserve our respect and gratitude given the fact that they dont owe us anything. Search is your friend, and the stickies found in the relevant forums are your best place to start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aycockonxion:
Asking the difference between a kernel and a radio is like asking the difference between a toaster and a sofa. They're just completely different things. However, some kernels do come "bundled" with a radio. Kind of like when you used to buy Windows it came with IE.

In this case, the radio is the software function that controls the actual hardware radio in the phone in order to communicate with the network provider. The kernel is kind of like an interchangeable foundation for the ROM itself. A custom kernel can let you overclock, undervolt, choose additional governors, or have BLN if it isn't built in to the ROM, or some other things too occasionally.

EDIT: And, +1 to robcore.
