[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
To downgrade to 2.3.7 flash GB ftf through flashtool.

Here is one available Asian 6.0.B.184.

Delete some bloatware,maybe you can free like 20-30MB,not sure.

Indian vs global ics official roms

I used both the global and Indian version of the official ics roms..... compering both with installing same apps make me think that global version is a bit laggier than the indian rom.... infact indian rom didnt lag at all with heavy software running (widgets mostly.. all the 5 pages were filled with widgets)... Its just my opinion though..... Indian firmware by far is the most stable for me.... reverting back to it.....

Secondly, when I install arabic programs or applications at this rom [XPERIA SOLA OFFICIAL ICS Build 6.1.1.B.1.10 - India(ASIA) , the Arabic letters appear separate and incorrect because the Android system so far does not endorse the Arabic language fully while in the arabic rom , the letters and Arabic words appear complete and connected without mistakes

wi-fi

Hi all. I have a problem with the wi-fi. phone did not want to be connected to the notebook. I have set up a static ip, the phone is connected. but now there is no speed, or there is some other problem. no downloads happens. any Market or in a browser ... 2.3.7 to this problem was not there. Is there a way to fix it? I've read a lot of forums, I realized that this is a mistake, not only Sony, for many of the official 4.0.x there is a problem. with the battery, I still somehow a little humbled, and it became a little more to stay, but the wi-fi I really need. I apologize if this question has already been raised, I did not find that. and sorry for my English.

Hi Guys, i just flashed my sola with global ICS rom. I noticed that camera seems to be a bit darker. I also noticed that the movies i played before on GB with BRAVIA engine on seems to be a bit lesser in quality. All installed browser seems not displaying images well, images are a bit grainy (Dolphin browser included) unlike when I was on GB, images are crisper and more vivid.

Question:

When I tried to update my phone using PC companion, it does not have any updates available so I've decided to flash it with the global ICS found here in XDA. DOes it make any difference? I'm thinking that if we are using the same FW, all sola should be the same(bugs, response, etc), unless there are differences in hardware so there are customized FW updates for every "batch" of HW.

How can I remove other apps that I don't like bundled with the global update? I've all ready rooted my phone.

Thanks guys! :)

Is there any way to show me settings when I press this key?

i am hating ICS overall , full bugs ..

i did pc companion update then factory reset ..

1. WIFI bugs , keeps on reconnecting , sometimes restarting the phone keeping wifi on fixes it for some hours, then the time i off it , next time again keeps on reconnecting ......NOW today 3 restarts still not even the reconnecting problem solved..

2. Battery drains like hell ..and sometimes shows even charge increase like 30% went to 33% LOL .. calibration issues.

3. USB mode doesn't works until i change it to debug mode .....even then the charging % is buggy ..also screen senstitvity decreases while charging ..

4. Click on any menu settings , and it will take .5 sec just to highlight the text (like lag) then go to the required next menu ..

5. Phone call and receive is laggy .

6. Wifi hotspot and sometimes usb tethering doesn't work says "Network error" WTF.....

7. Screen flickering issue sometimes when on low light .....

8. People also reporting reboot loop while using SD card until u format the card , i dont whether i should buy what i wanted to buy the 32 gb sd card ..

9. Can't run more than 3-4 apps at a time , it closes or crashes the apps ..

10. Poor ram management , very poor !!

11. what is wrong with the battery config , gsmarena shows battery is li-ion , but u do *#*#4636#*#* and battery info shows li-poly , WTF ??

and best of all

Gingerbread (the .184) had none of these problems (updating to .184 even made battery last longer)..

guys whats the problem , is sony gonna fix it ?? i cant use the internet at all because wifi bugs !!

also what do you think , is it because of the ICS or because sony guys didn't tested ICS well on SOLA....come on

the whole official sola forum is full of above complaints , how can one cannot notice these when they put ICS on sola..come on bad testers at sony ..

this was my first sony phone as well as my first android phone and now i think WASTAGE !! will never buy it again if sony doesn't fixes it soon !!

now for the meantime , any good custom roms available ??

also since my first android phone i need all the info from basic to advance regarding flashing , etc

also how can one use reverse usb tether without rooting and reverse bluetooth tether at all ??

BUT ,

about ram , i get it is because of ics ,

what i get is immediate after restart of phone 180 mb free :)

normal 100mb free .

using browsers i get 140 mb free ..

its generally 90-130 mb free ..

screens

i guess u envy me regarding ram ??
