[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Since when?

Misinterpreting the facts, for purpose, isn't it?

Regarding specs, Arc (not S) maybe is in pair with GS1.

But the same generation? No way.

With GS2 being sammy's flagship released in april 2011, and Xperia Arc being Sony's flagship released in march 2011, and with Arc S being released in september 2011, how does it fit your definition of Arc/S being the same GENERATION with phone released in june 2010?

PS: And also, I'm not *****ing about not getting JB. I'm just thinking about, while some other same gen phones are getting JB updates, we are still discussing about LED notification not being fixed, terrible WiFi coverage, almost unusable lagginess, unusable gaming abilities, etc etc. Like we are talking about some beta-state custom ROM, and not official firmware. Basic phone functionality is still being terribly affected, with official software. Is that normal to you? Maybe it is. To me it's far from being normal, and from being good customer care.
[Xperia Arc General] vr5411:
That's correct.

X10 is pair to GS1.

Arc S is even newer then GS2.
[Xperia Arc General] jlmcr87:
Yes but last years sony was 1-gen behind samsung more or less.

[Xperia Arc General] linex2004:
Galaxy s2 will get 4.1 jelly bean so soon...
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
So what?
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Yeah. Nothing impressive.

We are also having amazing ICS. There are some irrelevant, almost unnoticable bugs, like improper LED behavior, terrible lags, network mode resetting, WiFi instability, impossible gaming, impossible multitasking...

But hey, who cares! :D

At least they gave us ICS. Thumbs up for Sony!

Edit: Now, seriously, and please be honest. Are you really satisfied with how Sony is treating you, as their ex-flagship phone user? Simple yes or no would be ok.

And don't spread Sony fanboyism please. I'm their fanboy too, as much as I can be, believe me.
[Xperia Arc General] jader13254:
No
[Xperia Arc General] kAcA.:
Nobody is... This is ridiculous, this update brings absolutely nothing what we expected - no bugfixes, no smoothness, no gaming - NOTHING

It's a shame its called an update, and with that number 4.1.B.1.13
[Xperia Arc General] hackdima:
That is only the number-update :D they dont like the old numbers 4.1.B.0.587
[Xperia Arc General] BlackVN:
You can't compare two smartphones with a price different from 100€..
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Price is not the only relevant thing, nor is proof of quality, remember that.

Otherwise, nobody would argue anywhere on this planet, about quality of anything. You just simply decide that the most expensive thing is the best one, and end of story...

Well, on some other planet, maybe. On this one, it's not working like that.

Why do we compare, for example, iPhone 5 with anything, if it is just about price? Or iPhone 4S for the time being? Or one before that?

This is going way off-topic, so maybe we should stop here.

The point is, and I will finish with this post, that this is ridiculous. The way they are treating us. The half-finished product they are calling firmware. The amount of time they took to release this piece of #%$&. The ignorance towards users they already took money from.

Well, at least, now we know why they never said anything official about this "update". If I was responsible for this flop, I wouldn't say anything too.

Now, excuse me, I'm going to play GT Racing on my blazing fast Gingerbread. :cool:
[Xperia Arc General] Candy[MAN]:
Speaking of GB....I wonder what that did with 4.0.2.A.0.84?
[Xperia Arc General] spromper:
Yes, just stick with gingerbread and your phone will be faster than gs2 ons ics and youll have almost twice as much batterylife. stop complaining, updating to ics isnyour own choice, this phone runs more than great on gingerbread for its specs. Still the Best singlecore phone if you ask me..
[Xperia Arc General] steliosvola:
Aggree. . But this update was just a joke, when you ask me
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
Meh, you guys on GB, how often do you guys recharge in one week?

Btw the ics with the jb andreno libs is awsome and got good gaming. Theres allways some rage-kids around
[Xperia Arc General] pavel_rx8:
is there something about 4.0.2.A.0.84 GB update
[Xperia Arc General] spromper:

[Xperia Arc General] jlmcr87:
It´s possible with the phone in 2g mode only. When my Arc was new my battery left 6 days in this mode. But without using the phone.....
[Xperia Arc General] popthosegaskets:

[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
Yes i dont use data connection

Since i connected my phone to pc it resettet the count of 1 day. I dont use my phone at nights so 1 day on battery is two days in real
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
On stock GB, I can easily reach two days with normal usage, and even up to three days sometimes.

But, reaching 6 days with 2G? Yeah right. Network mode influence on battery life is highly exaggerated. Based on my experience, battery life will be expanded up to 10% in best case scenario.

Btw, my phone is always on 2G mode, with data off, gps off, lowered brightness, etc etc...
[Xperia Arc General] jlmcr87:
Yes, 6 days when my arc was new, with all off, only 2g. and not touching the phone.
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
And what's the point having the phone if you don't touch it? Me, personally, I am using it in daily basis with heavy usage and it lasts 9 to 10 hours. About 2/2.5 hours of calls, many messages, 3 or 4 hours music depends on the occasion and networking. Most time with 3G or wi-fi on and gaming.

I don't see the point having such a beautiful phone without using the full out of it. I have it almost 2 years and I never complaint about my battery
[Xperia Arc General] mthd12:
yes ... that's right ...., ..what are the reason for having a nice and beauty smartphone and ...leave it on the table ...without any use .....and then ...., oooo so happy that my phone have such a great life battery ..... ....

The best way ...is to use this phone at his real power ..., without any compromise .....like ..., data off , brightness 10 % ...., no 3G or WiFi .....,and no .....and no ...

This is Vodafone DE firmware. So, lot of unneeded (let's be polite) apps.

Just before this I installed Xperia J Home. It's hardened with:

Don't see the point of updating yet since:

1) I can't use my mods/tweaks with it.

2) Firmware does not have much difference from .587

3) It's carrier locked to Vodafone, means I need to unlock it before I can use it.

So yeah, I'm gonna stick with .587 first. As promised, I will upload an unlocked version once it becomes available in my country, since my carrier does not have carrier lock
