{PRO} General Chat.! Feedback about the ICS Update.. - Xperia Arc General

Hello
We all know how much we love our device. The only globally available qwerty smartphone. The xperia pro. Also known as iyokan, MK16i and MK16a. There was a user on xda named king-iyokan(guess how much he loved it). So here is a thread to show how much you love, share anything and everything about anything and everything.
Regards.
EDIT: TEMPORARILY THIS THREAD IS FOR THE ICS UPDATE DISCUSSION

Lemme say something at first.
I have an xperia pro since it was launched. I love it.
My brother got an xperia s on his birthday about two weeks ago. I wanted to try it out so I exchanged my pro with him for a week. After using the pro for a week he loved it so much that today he sold off his xperia s and got an all new xperia pro himself.
So our device is even better than the xperia s. :thumbup:

I love my Pro too, it is very bad that we have no own SubForum. It is my first qwertz phone that i ever have, and the hardware keyboard is so good . Its sad, that my MIUI port stuck on bootscreen, so no MIUI for the pro... sorry guys

If it's blackscreen the problem is on ramdisk.
If it's stuck on boot screen the problem is on kernel.
If it's stuck on boot animation the problem is on ROM.
Perhaps that might give you some tips and hope you continue your development there

Got another Xperia pro. Yay..!

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but:
Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch.
It's a quite handy option I noticed few days ago (despite having the phone for a month now.).

I'm using TEAM stock ROM.

Curious thing happened with my Xperia Pro.
I got a MK16i (which is the international version) and living in Mexico.
So I couldn't get to my carriers 3G, I was bummed.
I decided to try changing Kernel/ROMs about some weeks ago, and by changing to CM7.2.0 by Freexperia, it suddenly started working.
Now I love my phone even more!

So the Arc gets an ICS update today.. Wish our pro soon follows it..

I'm starting to think that they let go the updates information too soon. It happened with X10 2.3.3 update aswell. One day they said the update was ready, the next day they said the roll out would need few more days.

Xperia Pro ICS update roll out
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38384

I've had my phone since Nov 2011, love it, I need a physical QWERTY keyboard as I can not see to use the on screen keyboards and since the Xperia Pro is the only Android phone with a Keyboard, that's what I got.
Strange how, in the UK, it got such a soft launch, no carries where stocking it, I had to go through a 3rd party to get it on an O2 upgrade, so only could get the black one, I wanted the Red!
Anyway I noticed on the Sony Talk forum that ICS is now out for our phone, http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38384
I don't have WinDoze or Mac PC (I'm a Linux user) so I can not use PCC to update (Bad Sony Bad)
Happy updating
P.S. XDA needs a Pro sub forum, I don't know how many thread, news item or votes I've completed for this and still nothing, very poor :'(

Xperia range now official mobile of the UEFA Champions League

For those of you that follow football will no doubt know that Sony has been sponsoring the UEFA Champions League (the most lucrative football tournament in the world) for years now. Now Sony Ericsson is jumping on the bandwagon and has become “the official mobile handset of the UEFA Champions League” until 2012.
As part of the new partnership, Sony Ericsson will be developing a new mobile application for the Xperia family of smartphones, in conjunction with UEFA.com. It’s unknown what this will entail but the app will utilise the “GPS capabilities of Xperia smartphones”.
day after day i fell in love with my phone more and more and thanx myself for making the right choice.
I see that after the 2.1 update Generic UK we've got this application (UEFA.com).
Has anyone been able to do anything with it? It tried to start it, I filled in some data I was asked, but nothing happened afterwards...
I just download it from PlayNow
It really has a friendly user-interface with nice touch
you can see clubs' group standings, view calender, news, pictures, choose favourite club and many more
very nice app I recommend it
Play now is not available in my country (Peru) plz somebody post a link to download it... Thnx

with the update my phone scores 17pts in linpack, above of the galaxy S. lets see how it performs with an optimized kernel. outdated eh?
I have both the Galaxy and the X10 and im sorry but unfortunatley the galaxy blows the X10 away in every dept , i love my X10 but even after the 2.1 update its still not that fast and as an actual telephone ( to make phone calls) it is the worst one ive ever owned , i really hoped that sony would sort out the in call volume issues but they havent ! and the horrible blue theme and menus suck , but hopefully someone will release a custom rom which will sort at least some of the problems out.
do I have to get it through PlayNow? Couldn't find it in the market, and I have uninstalled PlayNow (I have a backup somewhere, though).
1. I do like Football (aka Soccer to some of you)
2. It is free even though it may be a gimmick
3. I'd use it quite a bit..
but
4. It does not seem to want to work. I register it, and then it closes down on me... anyone else have these issues and were able to resolve it? I can ee it in Play but it wont let me re-download it...

Decided to reinstall Playnow to get it...

TripNArc [email protected]! Opinions needed

I'm working on a 1-on-1 port for Xperia X10 from your phones. I want to make it really 100% the same. But just faster then yours
Just kiddin about the last part.
Tough i need some opinions from some Arc owners about it. Is looking the same as yours? What things you know about stock Arc rom. Bugs? Pro's Cons? etc.
Maybe my bugfixes can be used on your phones to.
Here is an image of the upcoming release (just one thing needs to be fixed then its released)

Hello Trip=)
On screens your ROM looks like our on 100% exept a black bg in "about phone" screen.=)))
It's have darkblue color.
This is just mine opinion about Arc stock rom:
1.I have obtain Xperia Arc about month ago, and till now i don't have any bugs or FC.
2.It's really very fast, smooth and stable.
3.It's very comfortable(for me) for customizing(folders, vidgets, etc.)
4.At this time it's have only one big minus: it's become very glitchy and stock dialer looks like **** when we changed LCD Density.

Isnt the Timescape Font bigger and the Settings with a Blue Background on your ARC.
Oops,yes, i look on my screen now, and see it's bigger(a little bit). But realy, Trip's font is better look=)
I think the "About Phone" Screenshot, the model number is different (shouldn't it be X10?) Lol.
Well, my big problem is the battery life. Some people complain that the battery draining is even worse when you have used the stock camera application, but for me no difference. Other than that, the phone is really smooth (I used X10 before) and just zips through no matter how you load it, with widgets and/or applications.
The timesscape font is lot bigger in Stock Arc phone. The playnow application is totally new one in Arc (though I don't use it, I'm sure it's completely different).
Maybe with upcoming screenshots we may be able to provide more different
Hope this helps.
Timescape widget IS black.. but yes.. that font's too small!
Camera - There's a problem with the HD video recording - voice and video gets out of sync.. if you've fixed that I'd be chuffed!
Can't zoom on camera for resolutions above 2Mpx
Can't zoom on video.
Have you got the 16m colours working on x10 (haven't checked in there since the start of april!!.. )
We're running on 2.3.3 rather than 2.3.2
no major problems really.. runs very well! but faster is always better..
oh and Trip - any chance you and the other devs over on X10 can help us out with creating a recovery method.. porting xrecovery seems the obvious one.. but a lot of people are talking about CWM too..
My daughters got the x10 now.. so if you can get this fully functional.. she'll be a happy girl!

You changed the battery icon and settings wallpaper, you could also do the same with the Android Version(which is very easy to do).
3.0.A.2.184 is not the 2.3.3 update, it's the 2.3.2 english version with the BBC player
This is the true 2.3.3:

One quick question: how did you made a transparent settings? :O
It is possible to change it on x10 or just in Arc?
figured this out.. apparently the google talk video implementation from modaco spoofs 2.3.3 to make it work... that's why it says 2.3.3..

ICS on the Xperia Play (official: we won't get it :( )

---EDITED---
Sony has confirmed that we won't get Ice Cream Sandwich on our Xperia Plays:

Sorry for making you think we would get it... ​

Sony never talk to each other (sections) and would not trust what is written in the Sony support/product site so would wait for an official press release first before jumping the gun. Maybe the dude above me has spotted something more revealing .
BTW love the video I wonder who that was made by hmmmm

The Xperia ray and the Neo V has the same specs as the PLAY so theres no reason why the PLAY should not be getting ICS.
It will definitely get ICS and it's just a matter of time !

There it is for all those doubters !
Other same spec device's got the update because it works ok. From the look of how the games run on the beta i would say ICS would brake the gaming side of a gaming device which would be silly for Sony to release it.
I still reckon people should just flash to AOKP rom. Looks better than the standard Sony Ericsson UI anyway.
Something about the standard UI just looks to me, I dunno, plain.
I couldnt care less about games working on it. I just use mine for emulators anyway

Additional info:
5. I have heard that ICS won't run as good as Gingerbread for XPlay. Is that true?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't help but think that maybe the XPlay-to-ICS thing would be like the x10-to-Gingerbread event. I never had the chance to play around with an Xperia x10 before, but last night I had to help my friend with his new x10. It was super snappy with its stock Froyo ROM, then lags were very evident and noticeable when I flashed the latest GB for the x10. I fear this will happen to Xperia PLAY.
I'm well informed about Sony warning 2011 Xperia phone owners around a month or two ago that the ICS coming to the portfolio might not be that fast and reiterated that their GB is very stable. Everyone wants a good upgrade, but again WHAT IF the fate of the x10 happens to our Xplays, too? God I don't want a laggy phone!
right now which is best custom ICS rom in the dev section ?
best in the field of stability and working touchpad.
thanks.

X10 never got an official froyo. It went from 1.6 to 2.1 to 2.3.
Not only that, but 2.3 on X10 was identical in performance to 2.1 (general consensus). Something must have been wrong with your buddies phone. When CM7 came to X10, it was (and still is) the fastest, smoothest and best ROM on the x10.
For the "The official info thread" you should probably spell it right
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...ream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/
Well, I created this thread trully believeing we would get the ICS update.
Sorry to all I made to think it would happen.
And, thanks Sony, for making a gaming phone with such old hardware.
Xperia play Definitely my last sony and android phone. Bought this last december just for the ICS.
Will gift this to my bro and ill get iphone 4 or 4s. Good by sony and android.

KitKat is all fine and dandy but without, I am sure, additional sources released by Sony (Ericsson) we will probably never get a JB kernel working and still retain full Xperia PLAY compatibility... then again I may be completely wrong and if I am someone correct me. I have stayed pretty much on GB for gaming. Either way, thanks for sharing... although I think this should go to the General forum.... anyways... thread on.
google says that they made the OS smaller and after so old devices that didn't get in the past update can now get update because they resolve many issues.

Well maybe 4.4 is for older phones but as you know the companies support they devices for a short period of time. So no KitKat for us...

True but they also stated those will need to be updated by either the carrier or the manufacturer of the device(s). As $ony long ago gave up on the PLAY, I think its incredibly unlikely we will see any support form Sony and or even source releases.
Still, it would be awesome if we can get it up and running, but dont forget the highest kernel we can sort of get working, is kernel 3.4.
Kitkat would be an even higher kernel number.
Google isn't even releasing KitKat for the Galaxy Nexus. Sony isn't going to do it either, and it would need hardware drivers from Qualcomm side too.
Why is this thread in the dev section?
is that true?

Sorry for wrong section... Anyway to delete? On another note, dony and erricson broke up so i dunno if they would be wanting to support our 2011 devices. All we can do id hope a dev/sony has the power to bring us 4.4...

Nice Information
I think if the 3.4 Kernel is working it wont be difficult to get kitkat running. But as far there is no touch in 3.4

They abandoned it,yes.As far as i know,there are no new models build and everything that is floating around in shops are the last produced batches,not getting the update to Android 4 kinda sealed this assumption
I don't know if the X Play will ever get KitKat but Google introduced a new runtime called ART to replace Dalvik with KitKat, on my Nexus 4 it really improve the performance to a substantial amount, so maybe that will help as well.

Would be great if Sony would pay more attention to their old phones, specially because they cancelled the ics update so sudden.
But i don´t think this will happen.
And that's one reason I won't buy Sony again.
we will get 4.4, not official but we will get it.
once i got a play i will work on it, otherwise we will have an other dev.

so? is there anyone working on kitkat roms for xPlay? or its abandoned at all?
By the looks of it, KitKat is out of reach for our device, theres barely any 4.1 or 4.2 jellybean roms functioning, what makes you think we will get 4.4 any time soon? Our Play is best optimised for GB due to performance issues as ICS+ isn't 100% functional on our play. Don't believe me? try any ics rom out and sooner or later you will find out that games will lag and memory will tend to be low. Sorry but this is the bottom line for our xperia play.
Legacyxperia (mostly mike) is working to get gully working 3.4 kernel. Than we wpuld be able to boot kitkat.

It is indeed possible, and I am saying this because I have NEO L(same as xplay) and I ran kitkat on my phone, thanks to @Mike's hard work. He reached at a point now where touch is working, he just need to have Wifi,Camera and some other things work and it will be there

Sony just loves to create bugs!!!

The battery on my phone is almost empty, this bug is only present when you turn on the phone, and as soon as the second or third time, locks and unlocks the phone, the problem disappears. It happened to me , but only when the battery is below 10%.
Connect your charger, stands on the clock, and not below it where there should be.
Well done Sony!! These are only shown once again how much you are unable to make a good and stable software.
Use the latest version of the software 14.3.A.0.757

Hehehe me too no problem after clean install 757.
Microsoft started developing non stop on Windows OS since 1975 and ti'll now it's still has bugs. Now you expect Sony or should I say Android to have a bugless OS which just started a few years ago? Don't mean to rant but being a developer myself I do believe there's no software to date that has no bugs >.<

What? You didn't knew? Sony, Microsoft, Google are out there just to create bug to piss users off, this it the sole purpose of their activities... They could do bugless release but they preffer to bug'em all out and look out on forums (or social media) just to see their reactions, they are the trollest of em all!
(BTW: I'm sarcastic)
I sell Sony Z1, moreeee problems, bugs... Never the back to Sony! My current device the HTC One, running sense 6, work perfect!!!
Lol. Looking at the One M8 XDA page I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694874
The point is there's no software out there that is bug free. The KK .757 firmware has fixed all major bugs. I myself am not getting that bug you're getting. Try a factory reset and see if that fixes the problem.
If you want to see buggy software, go to Samsung or LG. Well to be fair touchwiz has improved with the S5 (still hideous though) but my friend's LG G2 has a ton of bugs. Sony are pretty decent when it comes to the amount of bugs it has.

How does that show that Sony doesn't make stable software? .757 is rock stable for me. Not one crash or random reboot. A misplaced formatting doesn't make your device unstable. These small bugs exist in all ROMs, especially considering that it goes away after the 2nd or 3rd time. It doesn't impact your usage of the device in any way. Hopefully Sony should fix it but it seriously shouldn't be a huge deal that you make it out to be.

Which bugs, you have not explained what the bug is, or done anything other than flame people trying to help you.

Me neither. If you don't like Sony phones don't buy them. If they have bugs, report them using the specified channel which is Sony Forum if my memory serves me well. Opening a thread to rant an OEM is not the best idea, since they are not reading this.
