maybe it's a 'facebook inside xperia' fix. seems like a couple of people so far have voiced issues about timescape not updating the facebook feed.
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
Would it hurt Sony to post a changelog or readme on their developer blog? Just a quick list of the changes? It would save people a lot of time trying to work out what's different when they finally get a copy.

Yeeeah! It has to be better than .587

Hope they fix bugs, Wi-Fi, Mobile network, LED... And improve smoothness and gaming :D

Just checked PTCRB.

It's interesting that LT18a model is having this update listed now:

http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=20151

...and LT18i is not having it yet.
[Xperia Arc General] Destroyedbeauty:
Is this update world generic FTF?
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
It's not even released yet, and you are asking for ftf. :)

There will probably be different region/country variations, like with every rom till now. But let's wait untill it's released, and then you can expect some ftf's to be compiled.

The real question is why is this firmware not listed on LT18i PTCRB page, while on LT18a page, it is listed.

i had good experince.exactly within 5days in appearnce on ptcrb we use to get updates..so i think this saturday we gonna get those updates or if late on monday mostly
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
For some strange reason, some "i" models are not having this update listed yet, while "a" models do have.

Strange, because the only difference is HSDPA 850 network exclusivity on "a" models. And also, some other models (Arc, Ray...) are having this update listed on both, "i" and "a" models.

Nothing comes to my mind as possible reason for this.
[Xperia Arc General] Chlorophyll:
before getting update u wil get new update for pc companion everytime.this s da sign u have to rememeber

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

does this mean wt19i users wont get update??
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
No.

PC Companion / Update Service updates are not having anything to do with your concrete device. They receive updates almost on weekly basis, because they update information about all supported devices, not only yours.

To your second question. I'm not saying those "i" models will not be updated. I'm just saying that I don't have a clue why is this case, and obviously nobody here is having any idea why is this case, that some "i" models are not having update listed.

Anybody using link2sd with 4.1.b.1.13? Share your findings please..

I rooted this version, then made second FAT32 partition, about 2,5 GB in size to use with link2sd. On 2 separate occasions I noticed, that my fist partition (the one with music, photos etc) went missing. I had to restart the phone, and all the photos and music had to be rescanned again. Is this normal behavior, or is there some incompatibility with link2sd and stock ICS by Sony? Or should I made second partition ext2?

Also, are there any tweaks for 4.1.b.1.13 to make it a bit smoother in home, or when playing games? I think I read somewhere about flashing adreno libs, but then I also think I read somewhere, that it should not be done in 4.1.b.1.13.

I normally dont use my phone for gaming, but there happen to be some occasions when you wait for some people, events or something, you have some time to kill, you fire up some games, and you find out your phone is lagging quite a lot with simple games. But then again, I think I would rather stay with ICS, since battery lasts a longer, and it has some extra features than GB. It's just sad that GB kills ICS anytime in smoothness...

[Xperia Arc General] BajoPrimate:
Hi lyteo!

link2sd works fine on this firmware.

And worked fine on GB too.

BTW, I use one first Fat32 partition (formated as primary) and a second one ext2 (formatted as primary too).

Good luck.

[Xperia Arc General] lyteo:
Then I'll try to make second partition ext2, maybe phone gets confused with fat32. So, when you reboot your phone, your media library is not rescanned?
[Xperia Arc General] BajoPrimate:
Hi lyteo!

Be sure that the two partitions are formatted as primary partitions, that's very important, and the second EXT2.

On my brother's phone that was the only way with link2sd and GB.

And now, with ICS, he uses the same configuration, successfully.

The phone reboots as usual.

I don't know about the media library rescan, but all seems alright.

Good luck.

[Xperia Arc General] lyteo:
Ok, did second partition as ext2, I think it is gonna be ok now. Just one more question, I noticed some games (for now) are not working with link2sd, at least I noticed this for Subway Surfers and some Boeing game, when I move it to sd card, game quits at launch....so is this some link2sd problem or version of android dependent? Do you notice same things with link2sd, ICS?
[Xperia Arc General] BajoPrimate:
Hi lyteo!

Some apps, widgets and games need to be in the real internal memory;

you might try installing in SD and if that doesn't work then use internal for those apps/widgets/games.

It's boring, but take it easy and you'll get it eventually.

Battery appears 100% all the time...

Hi guys,

Just installed Xperia Arc S 4.1.B.1.13 Vodafone DE, coming from Gingerbread 2.3.4 on my friend's phone.

All is fine, except that my battery appears to be 100% all the time !.. On the notification bar, and in the Settings/Battery : completely flat.

It would be great if this was actually representing the battery level ! :laugh: but it's not (of course) : after some time the phone shuts down with no alert...

Anyone already had this situation ??? :confused:

I'm starting to think this update won't be that amazing, since FB just updated it's app to SDK 3.0 (http://www.phonearena.com/news/Facebook-also-releases-Android-SDK-3.0_id37658), it may be causing problems with Facebook Inside Xperia, maybe the update will update FB and Facebook Inside Xperia integration.

[Xperia Arc General] TheGreatSega:
..

they said they couldnt due to time constraints and the fact that consumers were pestering them about the ICS update... also they said that the 2.6.32 kernel was very stable for the phone.

but since then they have had time to work on it.. and since 2011 wont get JB maybe they have worked on porting the 3.0 kernel..

it has to be a big update due to the 4.1.B.

1

.13

lets wait and see.. it should be released in a week or so

and relax everyone... just because it hasnt appeared on PTCRB for LT18i doesnt mean anything.... the last time, the ICS update didnt appear for the walkman or neo but it was put up later... it just means that PTCRB hasnt updated their site properly

think about it logically!!! if LT15i is getting updated... then for SURE LT18i will get updated!!
