Why should Qualcomm force news sites? I google it and didn't find any specific information about it! I think giving 3.4 kernel could make us hope having 4.2 (even 4.3).

Upgrading kernel 3.0.4 to 3.4 is more major step than upgradin rom from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.3

It's my idea ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
A little more brain and effort really helps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ApriliaM3:
Just a friendly warning to some of the members here, who seem to think that swearing on XDA is ok... It's not.

Going forward, I will be taking a much tougher stance on bad language in these forums... There is no excuse for it.

Whether the filter edits your bad language or not, the intent is there and it has to stop.

This also includes people inserting different characters etc. to get around the filters... again, the intent is what I will be focused on.

Anyone who continues to flout this rule, will find themselves with an official warning followed by even further penalties.

Thanks

Sony confirmed 1080p recording will be "improved" in the next update (6.2.B.1.XX).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
If 4.1.2 is the final version we will get, I hope they will at least fix it completely and make it the best version of Android to ever grace the XPS. Gingerbread was outdated at release, ICS was always a bit choppy and unoptimized, JB so far is almost decent but has performance issues and horrible bugs, but it introduced some really neat stuff, such as the SmallApps, the new themes which look amazing, slightly faster browser, and cool new camera features. It'd be a real sad shame if the XPS died with a buggy clunky sluggish firmware, since that was the case for all its life so far. At this point I honestly don't even care if we don't get KLP or even 4.2, all I want is a fast, reliable OS, and 4.1.2 is enough, they just need to fix all the bugs and give everything a final optimization.

I was never really satisfied with this device to be honest. I hope that after so much time it will become great, as I don't plan on upgrading any time soon.

Oh well.

Dont know why that I'm still missing GB rom..it the best comparing ICS or 'Project Butter' that they claim on Jelly Bean Rom..hmm..

Sent from my MAKE.BELIEVE smartphone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Hmmm. I didn't get any performance issues. The upgrade is smooth and fluid, to the extent that as long the camera issue is fixes, the update will be perfect. Xperia S will likely not get 4.2 due to Qualcomm's refusal to release 4.2 sources. Not Sony's fault. I will dare say JB is the fastest ROM Sony created. I think the problem is psychological. If you think the ROM is sluggish, it is definitely sluggish.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Peter_95:
Me too, feel very fast and fluid ..... Only experiencing the lag in video 1080p....

And it's many new feature .... Overall smooth and fast ...... (y)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fqr:
same here, the update on my ion feels snappier than ICS. battery consumption is about the same as far as i can judge by now....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkmatthew:
I hope update is near <momplease>
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Flasher8:
i don't agreed with the fast and fluid sentence. As i help my friend to root and install custom rom for the Xperia S. The performance is really bad and i always feel the sluggish and jerky lag in this device.

My previous Galaxy S2 probably faster and more fluid compare to this Xperia S. I'm not samsung fan! I just state the experience that i have.

Regards.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
There's already three seconders agreeing that it's fluid and smooth and you saying something different. Did you do a full wipe when installing JB.

It's extremely interesting to note someone bringing out an old thread and quoting three users saying how the update is sluggish.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Flasher8:
to be honest, i did all the full wipe before i flashing stock JB and custom JB rom. The feeling of sluggish really annoyed me the most. Maybe different people have different taste. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Peter_95:
First i flash .200 singapore firmware using flashtool, and it's fast and lagless, but at that time, .200 can't be rooted , so i downloaded .211 world, and flash it, honestly, it's laggy very laggy and shuttering compared to .200 and my old SE X8 with jellybean ..... And i requested doomlord to make root available for .200 .... Waiting and using it for maybe 2 weeks(i can't remember), and i try to reflash again .211 for the second time, it seems lagless, and i reflased again for the third time, and now i'm using it for a long time and until now it's still fast and fluid.

Maybe you should try what i do sir. Reflash it twice .....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Flasher8:
bro, i did the same way u do and full wipe including sdcard but every time i still can feel the laggy. Do you have any friend which using Galaxy S2 (custom rom preferable), then u know what i mean that called smooth.

If i not mistaken, Xperia S spec is more high end then S2. Correct me if im wrong. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Peter_95:
And then i don't know why you suffer the lag ..... For me, mine is smooth ..... Maybe it just person's opinion ....

I have seen s2, their official JB firmware's setting app is laggier than my SL when scrolling up and down .....

And i am person don't care how smooth samsung phone is, mine SL is smooth enough .....

And i don't interest with touchwiz at all .....

Maybe it's all back to every person's opinion .....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
Yes. The XS has better specs than S2. but overall combination is better in S2.

Specially the screen resolution and GPU. S2 has a powerful GPU and moreover the the screen part that it has to render is smaller than Xperia S.

So i would say theoretically graphical performance on S2 would be better.

But this does not mean the XS is laggy. May be you are the only who suffered it.

And if you talk custom roms, then it's natural that smoothness will be more and it's great on XS too.

Hi everyone, a quick note on our software roadmap…

So, Sony’s Jelly Bean 4.2 upgrade for Xperia Z and Xperia ZL is well underway* – next up, Xperia ZR and Xperia Tablet Z will start receiving 4.2 from early August.

Yesterday you probably saw Google announce the next version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.3) – we’re already getting stuck in and can confirm we’ll make 4.3 available for: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP and Xperia Z Ultra…

We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow [MENTION=1998761]sonym[/MENTION]obileNews for all the latest.

If you fancy learning a little bit more about the technical side of our software development, check out Developer World’s latest piece on how we’re improving and refining our efforts to bring users new Android versions.

On that note, thank you for all the feedback on our Jelly Bean 4.1 rollout for Xperia 2012 products – we’re aware the process hasn’t been as succinct or as timely as you might’ve expected. As part of Developer World’s piece, Fredrik Ekstrand, our Head of Software Product Management, elaborates on some of the reasons for this, but essentially – we’ve heard your frustrations and are constantly improving the way we do things.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below.

Is there further development of the XPERIA LT26i planned beyond 6.2.B.0.211 within the scope of JB 4.1.2?

Sony offering updates for a robust and functional XPERIA LT26i running JB v4.1.2 would be welcome.

OpenGL ES 3.0 from the Android v4.3 SDK is a bit out of scope on an MSM8260 chipset, but guess many XPERIA phones running a Snapdragon S4 chipset may fair better.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jackmax32:
Sony rocks.... It would be nice if you guys could update the Xperia S to 4.3.. My next phone will definitely be a Sony for sure.. (Z or the Z Ultra)

I recommend reading this http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/07/25/explaining-the-software-upgrade-process-and-its-improvements-for-android-4-3/

This is an extract:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Well, if they test the update thoroughly, I don't see why the can miss the 1080p recording.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I am starting to think the reason we have a usable but slightly bugged version is because Sony shifted focus. From reading the article about 4.3 and seeing a aosp test for 4,2,2 on here recently for quite a few different devices I think we all may be in for a treat. We all know 4.1 was full of complications anyway as the nexus devices did not seem to stay on it that long. With so many of these Sony devices seeming to share very similar builds I am inclined to think Sony is gearing up to give all of us 4.3.

If they shift focus to 4.3 rather than fixing bugs in current builds it could be a huge step forward for the company and give them a one up on some of the others. Guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
In theoretical terms, Qualcomm ended support for our chipset and will not be providing Sony Qualcomm drivers optimized for 4.3. Though there's custom ROMs, the optimized version of 4.3 for Xperia S and gang might not be possible.

I believe, (but losing patience) Sony will come with a version that fixes several bugs soon. After 4.1 is fully optimized, whether Sony will upgrade us, it is difficult to tell. And don't bring in Samsung and it's S2. Galaxy S2 using Samsung's own exynos CPU.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
From what I have seen there is no info to back that up fully. While the HTC One with the S3 chip has been left behind its S4 chipped sibling it is still not confirmed the S3 varient wont get its 4.2. update. It is very possible Qualcom could still make this a reality and if Sony push them for sources it could happen.

It is a long shot for sure but at the same time Sony could wright their own driver source for it as well. Owning a old HTC Incredible that is running 4.2.2 it seems very possible for Sony to make this happen. Guess we just have to watch and see what happens.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitemamba:
Hello guys! I am planning to buy either the HTC One or the S4.

One of the issues I am not sure of is the 3d graphics of the One. Is it good for gaming? And I mean heavy games like MC4, NOVA 3 and GTA VC.

Also, a quick question: if the HTC One 32GB is selling at SGD $488 while the S4 16GB is selling at SGD $578, which will you buy, if you were a gamer, a ROMer and a photographer all at once?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
It's good, probably be better than the S4 when we get the 4.2.2 update. The GPU can be overclocked to 450Mhz (:

If I were you I would get the HTC One and a DSLR :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitemamba:
Thanks for the quick reply! :laugh:

Did all the games run flawlessly (by flawless I mean SUPERSMOOTH) ?

Is the video recording good BTW? I heard from some reviews that the optical stabilisation is making the video shaky. Is it true?

Thanks again!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Yeah, they run smoother than on my Nexus 4 (: The videos are smooth for me, the stabilisation helps stop the shake
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitemamba:
Is the camera good? It is an ultrapixel camera, something new in the market.

Is the gorilla glass 2 OK? I always throw my phone in with my calculator, wallet, keys and stuff.

Lastly, why is only 1.5 GB of RAM usable? For the S4 it has 1.8GB. is it a software or hardware thing?

Sorry for so many questions, it is a hard choice indeed!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Cameras average, glass is great, back is scratch able - I have two scratches. The HTC One has a better multitasking experience. The ram is used for the GPU (:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PcFish:
Running Vice City right now, runs great. So far have played Street Fighter IV, Spider-Man, Dark Knight Rises and Iron Man 3. All pretty smooth experience. Some lag and redraw problems in the Gameloft games, but I suspect it's because Gameloft didn't optimize them.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitemamba:
What do you guys think of the battery? Does it last for the day even with some gaming? :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Should be better than S4 when it comes to battery longetivity when used. :D But S4 is far better when we're talking about idle times battery saving.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudejb:
Iron Man 3 plays nice but does have a slight lag in the beginning if you do not have you're wireless set up I think its trying to phone home or access some crappy advertisement. I do not believe it is a phone thing. Battery life does suffer when gaming but overall the battery life is quite good and will get me though a full day with decent gaming, Facebook, YouTube and internet surfing.

Both are great phones. I chose the One over the S4 for the Build quality and I used to have a Samsung Glide which had issues with GPS, The one locks on GPS instantly.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitemamba:
Oops, one more question.

Does the HTC One experience frame drops when lots of instances are on the screen? This would be one of the deciding factors between the One and the S4!

From the S4 thread:

Deciding factor 2: Does the One open and close apps, switch between apps etc smoothly?

From the S4 thread:

Deciding factor 3: Is the build quality good? Overall, do you guys think it is an awesome phone in all aspects?

For the S4 thread:

This is going to be my last few questions here. Please answer them well! :) especially the first and second one, I really DO care for performance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
The phone suffers 0 frame drops even when heavily multitasking. It's smooth as a baby's bum.

The One is noticeably faster in opening/switching apps than the S4.

Build quality is awesome, unless you're unlucky and you get a unit with a small tiny gap at the top or bottom.

[Android General] VivekNayyar:
Hello All

I just though of sharing my experience with you all.

To tell you the truth, I am just a new-born baby in the world of Android and have purchased my very first Android-based device, i.e. Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-N8000, just a week ago.

I have been trying too hard to extract the default wallpapers from my new tab just to look at the details of the images so I can create my own wallpapers (custom images to fit right into the screen in both landscape and portrait layout).

I searched a lot about how to extract just to find that the other posts were related to other versions of Android, there was no post for the exact model that I have. Probably people have now lost their interests in changing the wallpapers or customizing them.

However, with the help of some older posts and after putting some of my brains in the device and Android, I somehow managed to extract the wallpapers. Being very new to Android (just a week old lol), it is really a great achievement for me to enter into the root and extract something out of it :D

Really excited!!

I am writing this post for others like me who are looking ways to get the default wallpapers out from the system to modify or do whatever they want to do.

Here's what I did.

I rooted my tab. (Was really scared of doing so in the beginning as I am very new and was afraid of damaging my expensive gadget just after a week of its purchase).

I downloaded and installed AntTek Explorer. (A notification popped up recommending this app when I tried to open a file in the device root).

I started AntTek Explorer and in the center pane (don't know what it is called), I tapped on the 'Device' option at the top.

A menu appeared and I tapped on 'Device Root'. (Don't know why but the folder didn't change automatically so I tapped the 'Device Root' icon in the left most window to see the contents of 'Device Root' folder in the center pane).

Then I tapped on 'system' folder from the center pane, and then tapped on 'app' folder.

Here I located 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk', and touched and held the icon for a second or two.

A menu appeared and I tapped 'Extract'.

On the next menu that appeared, I tapped on the 'Education' folder that I had already created to extract the files.

Then I tapped 'OK' to extract the contents.

I opened the 'Education' folder by going to 'My Files' and found that a folder named 'SecWallpaperChooser' was automatically created.

I opened that folder and opened 'res' folder.

In the 'res' folder, I then opened 'drawable-sw800dp-mdpi' folder and found all the default wallpapers there.

Aah!! But I still don't know how to place my own images in the 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' file in the Device Root>system>app folder so that my custom pics are also displayed along with the default ones when I try to set the wallpaper and choose 'Wallpapers' option from the options list.

Can anyone help me out with this? Or if you have any suggestions from where should I start looking?

Thanks for reading :)

for those who want to root this and they have an older version of android they can do it easy using ZhaoDashi software or Scrypt by Bin4ry.

Howerer for my 4.1.1 Jellybean the only way to root I found by far is changing the firmware version. On the official website there is no firmware available so I ask you guys is there any other ways to get a new firmware ?? Is it possible to use a different firmware from other tablets?

Until this week I had Ubuntu 11.10 on my machine. Now I have upgraded to 12.04LTS.

Before the upgrade, ADB and Fastboot were working as I expected. With the phone connected in debug mode, 'adb devices' produced an appropriate response. With the phone in bootloader mode, 'fastboot devices' produced an empty list. However 'sudo fastboot devices' produces the expected response.

My rules file (for a TECNO N3) has:

Any ideas why this difference has crept in between 11.10 and 12.04

For those of you that haven't seen the font, it can be seen here - http://www.ffonts.net/Sony-Sketch-EF.font

Look awesome on the phone.

This tricks the phone to think its stock fonts.

Instructions.

Go to settings / display / font style/ and change your font to Samsung Sans

Place zip on SD card and flash through CWM

Reboot

Switch font back to default

Done.

I read this tip in a post in the international forum. If you are ever hung up at the splash screen and the power button/power button-volume key reboot doesn't work, there is no need to wait on a battery drain. If you hold the phone under a bright light while doing the power/volume key combo it will reboot to the boot loader.

I tried it and it worked for me. So thank you to the poster who gave that neat little trick (I'll find the post later and give him credit) and I wanted to share it here in case anyone has this issue you will know how to get out of it and eliminate some frustration.
