[ICS] ARC - Games not Working - Xperia Arc General

I flashed ICS Arc S firmware on my ARC and noticed that following games do not work due to no touch response/ Screen Freeze...
1. Can Knockdown 2 - No Touch Response
2. Riptide GP - Was able to start once after that it freezes
3. Temple Run - Wayward Touch Response
Are other users also facing this problem and how to overcome this ? .

For the temple run, it might not be compatible with ICS fw from sony.

I had similar issues on my Arc S with ICS - both in the beta and final release (I reported the issues during the beta but I needn't have bothered).
Temple Run controls don't work properly and after a couple of minutes playing Frisbee using touch controls the controls simply stop responding - then no touch controls work in any games and I have to reboot.
What a joke. I'll never, ever buy a Sony device again. What with the cracks in my housing and now this joke of an update they've blown it.

ICS Bugs in ARC
So I suppose the case is not because we have flashed Arc S firmware on arc but because of inherent fault in ICS firmware for Arc S itself.

I can't get tekken or any fighting games to work, but I have gotten ff tactics, loaded, reloaded, and need for speed high stakes to run flawlessly, mortal kombat trilogy freezes at start screen, soul blade freezes at loading, gta3 won't load cars or avatar, no go at all on twisted metal 2, tekken 3, and one game I can't remember doesn't load.
All I want to work is tekken 3 and I will be happy.

the screen on the x10i
even though i have got the games working fine from bin files. well i say they work fine, sound is perfect on my xperia x10i, but the screen wont fill and stretch the x10i. ive tried all the settings and still nothing. does anyone have ideas of where im going wrong on this? or is it worth rebooting the entire phone to factory standards and starting again?
without multi-touch you cannot play games like psx games on psx4droid or the games which require mlti-touch like football ( 2.1 is required ) so sony X10 is not for playing games, if you wanna enjoy games then go for desire instead ( great phone as compared to X10 trust me ) HTC desire is far better than X10.

nope ur wrong as i been running psx4driod on my x10 for ages fair enough there is no MT but there is a few games that run perfect on it.
@djboxer. do your games on x10 run with the screen filled? or did you have any problems like im having, with the screen not showing properly. as the button layout is fine on screen, but the actual graphics are squashed up in the middle, and ive tried putting the screen settings to stretched and all the others, and its still putting the graphics squashed in the middle. the sound is running fine, just the graphics are strange. and i cant figure it out. has anyone else figured this out?
people, to be able to play games without MT, buy a wiimote and download an app that connects the controller through bluetooh. works FLAWLESSLY
how do you guys play FF7? i'm able to load the game, but just black screen. any help?

brill idea i have to give that a try has many of my games are racing ones i have choice of accelerate or brake pffffft haha
and also here the other topic which is for all users wanting to install and setup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8238406#post8238406
The FF7 I got online was in rar/zip/ecm/bin combination i have to uncompress it to bin file.
I can play FF7 (disc 1), Chrono Cross (disc 1) and SagaFrontier 1 on my X10a. Graphic and video playback are nice but audio is very choppy so I turned it off. Also, it's almost not playable because you cannot multi-touch (you need to press directional key and 1 button to 'run') on those games, without it, the characters are walking in snail speed...
Ive tried playing grand turismo. had 2 different downloads and both had an issue,first one didnt go forward at all and the second one the car can only get up to around 10mph..... the accelrometer works nice with the racing type games but need to find one that actualy works
Hi i think mt for playing psx games would be awsome but: in fact i ve played psx games on my touch diamond and yoused my own psx games and they worked fine. Only reasen why games werent enjoyable: 10 frams/s and okay the diamond has few more hardware buttons but great for final burn for example
Cheers

If you're having trouble with FF7 in the underwater bit, I read in other forums that you can't get past it using the psx4droid app. Apparently you need to do that part on a PSX PC emulator then save the save game file back on to your psx4droid folder, doesn't seem to be any other way around it
i`m playing diablo 1 mostly because i dont need the mt ... like in the other games ... and mostly i`m looking for games witch dont need the use of mt to be played
Heh,i played Dino Crisis 2 : works
Gran Turismo 2 : Works perfectly
GTA 1 : Works perfectly
GTA 2 : Works perfectly
NFS 3 Hot Pursuit : Works perfectly
NFS 4 High Stakes : Works perfectly
Tekken 3 : Not working at all.
Gonna try this evening : Resident Evil series.
BTW : For those that complain of multitouch,ican play ALL games without any problem...how ? Using the hardware buttons.
You just put the "Back" button as the "X", and the "Focus"(Yes the camera button) as the "Square", and you can play almost all the games without anykind of problem,specially driving games.
So for those who complain of MT : Yes its nice but NOT a "Cant live without it".
And for those who say Desire is better : Why are ya here? The X10 can be a LOADS nicer,smoother and better device than the Desire if you tweak it nicely,so shush.

[Q] Help with battery issue!

My xperia arc has been horrible with battery lately...
Ever since a few weeks ago, the battery would go from 100% to 20% in about 12 hours, but before it would go from 100% to about 60%.
I can't even go a full day without needing to recharge it. Sometimes, the battery graph would show the battery recharging, even though it is not plugged in. So sometimes the battery charge would go: 40-39-38-37-36-35-48-47-46.... But it also sometimes shows steep drops like: 50-49-48-47-35-34-33
Even when I don't turn on the screen much, or text, or call, it still uses about 5% battery per hour. When I check what's been using the battery, it's usually cell standby, display, etc.. Nothing that should be taking it down this much.
I tried using the PC companion to restore it, and that hasn't helped :/
After searching the internet, some people say that it is a problem with the kernal, but I'm having trouble understanding how to fix it.
Any help is appreciated!
Here's some information:
Model Number: LT15a
Baseband Version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-56
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
It's a known "problem" that the later firmwares, such as yours, eat more battery.
But 5% on stock kernel is quite much.
That's as much as on DooMKernel which has a little battery drain bug.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Yea, it is way too much of a battery drain...
And I'm pretty sure I didn't update the firmware when the problem started occurring. Although I did update my phone a couple of weeks ago, the problem was happening before that.
What you can do right now is to repair the software with PC Companion.
If you do, try to run the phone without any 3rd party apps for some time so you can compare the battery performance you get with what you experience now.
The software you have is currently the latest one for arc. We are however planning to start a roll out of new software (4.0.2.A.0.6x) next week. It's a global roll out but all phones will not get it at the same time so I don't dare to say when you might get it.
It's mainly meant to fix the memory management to avoid reboots but it might have some impact on the battery too.

[Q] UI games compatibility

I'm no developer, so this is probably a n00b'ish question.
The Xperia Play isn't getting ICS mainly due to compatibility issues with existing Xperia Play optimised games.
Does this also mean that future games, developed in conjunction with ICS, may not be compatible with our GB UI Xperia Plays??
(edit: Sorry about wrong forum section, only just realised)
Future games that will be Xperia PLAY optimized will always be compatible with GB. We won't get ICS so there is no point in releasing games optimized for Play that won't run on GB.

Or, they simply stop doing Xperia Optimized games.
We're a single phone.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll stop optimizing games at some point
At least we have apps like gamekeyboard. If this happens, we can make every game XPlay compatible.

Did someone noticed 14.2.A.1.142?

In PTCRB is since yesterday a new FW certified. Again...

Question is: would it be released?
I don't think so. It's only certified. NOT YET RELEASED...

I guess no. This might be a test build for the path towards stable Kitkat.
Certified doesnt always mean that it would be rolled.
I guess sony will go straight to 4.4KK...
It could be like last update: 14.2.A.1.114 (certified) ==> 14.2.A.1.124 (certified) ==> 14.2.A.1.136 certified and released.
So again: wait and drink a cup of tea
After releasing New Flagship Device they might release kitkat for Z range

Therefore, that it's only a minor number forward from the last fw (136), it won't be anything near kitkat!
Maybe a minor Bugfix or extended update from 136 but nothing major!
Wait until the buildnumber changes to 14.3.X. to guess when kitkat will arrive, just a hint

Kitkat won't be out before Barcelona - that's 100% and this could go out, maybe it's just some regional patch.
But it's nothing big - that's obvious from build number.

I'm actually really impressed by the rate of updates for the Z1 so far. Granted this might not be released, but it looks like Sony has finally learned to be decently constant with updates.
i thought some Danish Carrier leaked out that 4.4 KitKat was coming to the Z1 in March
cant find the site at the mo but will look again later

That are mainly hardware issues and I really doubt it could be ever fixed...
Maybe they will succeed to make it better - like touchscreen sensitivity and yellow tint...
But that's not software - I'm 100% sure, why?
Because I'm using 290 firmware and it's working fantastic.
Without any touchscreen problems, with real white and black colors on screen and with great battery life...
Every single firmware I tried worked perfectly...534, 290 or 136 - without a single glitch.

Actually the Yellow tint is a known software, not hardware problem . The touchscreen problem is iffy, some say hardware while some say software. I actually would say the Z1 is almost flawless hardware wise, the problems start on the software side (yellow tint, camera, bluetooth, etc.)
It's good because that means Sony can fix most of the problems on the Z1. They already fixed yellow tint and bluetooth, now the touchscreen and camera optimization should happen soon.

I would say it's mix, it's a software, O.K but only on some devices which are using different screens and other parts (bluetooth chip and other parts).
It's impossible that you have problems and I don't have if we all have exactly the same hardware...
So the conclusion would be - we are both half right
