then this new update has disappeared? it was fitting? tells the truth!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Damiano1234:
Whether that's true? nowhere are writing about it

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] beniamin24:
Dont get pissed of about it, i didnt install cause i was careless about the update, if things arent the way you whant that doesnt mean i'm trolling, and no the update is not available anymore, as for the brown device, to be honnest i dont know if its brown or red.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
I checked with him and can confirm he's holding a BROWN (prototype) device.

It's not possible to update unless he have access to EMMA. The update have not rolled out to general public.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Plus Sony has pushed updates then pulled them down immediately before
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:
How you know is a brown device? What s the difrence?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Brown are developer units, red are consumer units.

A little bit of Googling didn't hurt anyone, use it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:
How can i see that on my device?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Damiano1234:
what that guy claims that he has updates for xperia s ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Well, Brown devices are almost non existent on market so if you bought your phone in shop / with or without contract then you 99,999% have Red device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Damiano1234:
My xperia is from orange brand,but i install non-branded rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YuriBasescu:
How can I turn my device into a brown one??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lord Takyon:
You can't unless you paint it.

Tbh they look better in black anyway ;)

Double tapping is gonna be a problem !

Double tap to open recent programs list ? It might be a huge problem for acro s users cause the buttons are oddly located :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] georgesmh:
Yeah i have an acro s. If thats true i wont update.. Or i wait for a rom that disables what sony did.. I hope it'll be possible
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
First in the left side there is my user name.... thaks for reading it, second it's stock .211, even in the .200 and in the .211 have this bug it's only with root no CWM, full stock.

And for exampe if you saw the video well before pressing the option button or whathever you call it if you take fast photos the camera freezes but if you pres the option button wait for the black screen to appear the youi can tace continous photos
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
Eh? It's in the middle of the the row of three buttons just above the bottom edge of the screen. I'm struggling to understand what's odd about that. It's not as if it's round the back or anything! Where do Android phones usually have their home button?

I'm not particularly interested in Google+ but a double tap on the home button to get the active apps list doesn't seem like a major imposition. Could someone be so kind as to explain why this is such an issue for some people?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hasona:
I don't know if that was a joke or maybe you don't own a Xperia S because the capacitive touchbuttons is like resistiv touch buttons, you need to squeeze them if you want it to register the tap.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
It is Google Now, btw. And as said above, it is due to the somewhat bad capacitative buttons on S...

Personally, won't be a huge problem for me...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
maybe

they should have kept long press for multitasking tray and double tap for google now.hope they dont change the menu key to multitasking tray :confused: wont be a issue for me too because now i am totally used to those buttons.the buttons are exactly or just around the dots.they are not great but atleast they work :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
I own an Acro S, which was what the post I was replying to referred to. The buttons on my phone seem fairly responsive. Are they not on the S?

The buttons being somewhat unresponsive is not the same as being "oddly located", which is what the post I was replying to stated.

I can actually see how this could work. Tap once on the home button takes you to your primary home screen. Tap on the home button when you're on the primary home screen and you get the multitasking tray. I'd hate for that to take me to Google Now since it is easy to do by mistake. The long press is much harder to do in error. All in all, it sounds OK to me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hasona:
Ohh allow me to excuse myself and yeah the XS buttons really do suck which is probably why the same implementation wasn't used in Acro S seeing as it at least works
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
In Sony latest phone,theydon't have capacitive softkey or at least softkey...they only have onscreen softkey where got 3 main button (Back,Home,Recent Apps,and Menu (which only appear if the current screen or page have menu option available) while in Xperia that have softkey button only have Back,Home,Menu,and Search (if any) and doesn't have any recent apps (and small apps) button...so,the solution is Sony should make long press menu key on Xperia that have softkey to launch Google Now,and keep the long press home button to open recent apps (and small apps)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
Well Google now it's characterized because it's in the home soft button I think that it will have to be inverse Google now in the long press home button and recent aps and small aps in long press menu button(or capacitive buttons whatever you like to call them)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
I agree with you.

Long press Home button = Google Now

Long press Menu button = Small Apps and Recent Apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
this would be great but i think chances of changing the menu button to Recent Apps and Menus will be onscreen :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kyrius:
anything new on the date of the release yet?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jakp3:
I hot they fix the reboot bug. When i turn on my phone i lose 4 widgets and the swifkey as a primary keyboard and all the time i have to set everything up... i'm bored about it!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] indesisiv:
Just use the work around till they fix it ... here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
any dates of the release ? i am tired,pls someone share if you know the date.if SONY tells the release date as 2020,i will atleast move on to some custom rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SFU11:
then go for it.

- you can go back to stock whenever you want.

- new fw from sony is not always "perfect", so you can watch other people complain about new things before you try.

- and while using custom rom, you can wait until new sony fw rooted.

- if you have ulocked bootloader, you can play with 4.2.2 or even 4.3 rom which is newer than upcoming sony fw.

yeah,but there is no word.i check everyday on internet,but no news about it :confused: thank you,hope to see the release soon
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
What? o.O? nop the menus does not have to be onscreen, if you

press it once

the menus appear if you

long press

the small apps and Recent Apps appear simply as that.

and the menu long press be google now and normal press well the same XD
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
that would be good but a new learning curve :p no use of google now for me as i dont have any internet plans currently.only wifi at home.but i will try google now :laugh: lets hope the bugs are fixed and releases soon
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
well i have internet plan but when i have to go out to see my girl it's good to know how many time, the traffic to change routes, or while driving just by touch and talk send a sms, or simply in home press and put alarm or notes or a quick search (it will be more greatand easy by talking like the moto x but well 1 touch it's not a pain XD)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
i did try out some google searches on android 4.2.2 and its amazing,its fast and for most part correct.yeah i also tried setting alarms and voice dictations :highfive: but now i dont have those in ics

Just connect the usb to your phone and start odin and flash the stock firmware. Should help. :)

It's a soft brick I guess.

Alternatively you can do it via kies, just click on Tools -> Emergency Firmware Recovery.

galaxy star duos ****rooted*** xda offical app :() :()
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Chirtagh:
Why is it taking long to build CWM ??

Because all other devs are busy in their works(Isn't it simple to understand??).. or may be other things too..

If we can't build it then we should wait with all the patience we have in us..

Just tellin.. :good:

patience really pays off..

Has anyone tried to install chainfire or confirmed it is working in galaxy star.

It's just risky since i cannot make any back up yet on this phone.

It would be great if chainfire works on this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Star] ironman38102:
Firstly we will have to wait for cwm to be build(currently [MENTION=4491442]evanlocked[/MENTION] friends and im also trying to repo sync so i can build cwm but my net is so slow that it keeps hanging! any tips by anyone?) when the cwm is released we can compile cm10.2 and cm10.1 (not port! we need custom kernel otherwise we cant overclock plus afaik it wont boot)

Edit: Samsung never release 4.2 or 4.3 and im not sure if samsung will release the update

I tried various ways to get into bootloader and fastboot but no luck. Volume up+down and power button or trying other combination doesnt do anything(just boots normally) also using adb wont help. Although have seen that apply update from adb uses adb sideload command. I havent tried this since havent really got cwm image from [MENTION=4491442]evanlocked[/MENTION].

Edit: [MENTION=4491442]evanlocked[/MENTION] try flashing the cwm recovery using the apply update from adb(aka adb sideload)

Edit2: Dont think adb sideload can help :( what ive heard from net its used to sideload something.

Edit3: Ignore edit2 theres a chance it can help.Read the info:

Back in the early releases of Jelly Bean, Google introduced a new command to adb called “sideload.” Using the sideload command, and the newest version of adb from the Android SDK, one could update their Nexus device through stock recovery, without having to root or flash a custom recovery. It’s something we wish was there from day one, however, at least we have it now. And I know that many of you feel that Jellybean devices shouldn’t ever have a stock recovery and that they should be hacked on daily, but try to keep in mind that some like Nexus phones and tablets because of constant updates and a 100% stock version of Android.

As someone that has a decent grip on drivers and adb, I have to admit that adb sideload has given me issues since it was introduced, which is why I have yet to fully write a guide about it. But with today’s Android 4.2.2 update becoming available, I decided to take a second look at the process and finally found some solutions to the issues that have taken hours away from my life.

One had to do with my device ID not registering through the USB driver, requiring a manual edit of the “winusb.inf” file. The other was a Windows 8 security issue that wouldn’t allow me to install drivers that had not been signed, which is something that happens after you start manually editing driver files.
