Screen not so responsive??

Heya, i think i have a problem with my gs2, basically when im scrolling it feels like it doesnt recognise my swipe until i get half way across the screen, well not so much half way across but it seems to lag and stutter a bit.
Is anyone else having this issue?? Is there anyway to correct it??
Im on ke7 at the moment, didnt wanna update cos ive got my 4th screen as default and apparently that trick dont work with newest firmware.
Its just a really niggly problem thats starting give me the 'ump.
Thanks

There's a touchscreen fix in the development section. Install the apk there and follow the instructions.

Ok thank u will download now, by the way, does upgrading the firmware get rid of this issue or is it handset related?

In fact it's a feature for better differentiate simple clicks from scrollings, so Samsung will probably have it in all his firmwares, and you'll have to install the fix on every wipe(it isn't permanent).

Well ive tried it and it still feels the same, quite juttery on homescreens??
App drawer and menu is fine its just a prob with the homescreen being juttery.

Try setting it to 5 instead of 0. See if that makes a difference

And also available for the Arc S.

Not sure if it is .587.

They just pushed out .587 a week back. There's no way that would be releasing yet another version.

587 is buggy

Yes, some bugs remains, sometime i have only one wifi bar, but wifi still works, video are still choppy. But phone apps and contact opens quick, services list show that i have around 150MB free RAM, and i can play Asphalt 6 So it's a big improvment over the 4.0.4 :good:
Test made with a fresh ARC S 587 stock with locked bootlader and root.

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-arc-s/
check it
this is the same as .587

Hopefully they will finally fix ics, ive tried every release from sony and EVERY one of them is bugged to f**k

Just updated my arc. Will see how it behaves. First notice phone dialpad opens in less than a sec. Messages same. Video in MX player is choppy only when i activate some of the on screen controls when they hide it is ok. Rest of the testing will be tomm. Still don't know abt skype. On last version skype was just shutting down after some time and after that took long time to start.

[email protected] dpi

Hi guys
changed the dpi on my n5100 to 160 by accident and got a whole new version of interface.
Is it remnants from another device?
I like it a lot but worried about compatibility with apps. Anyone tried it?

You've got Nova launcher or Apex on there haven't you?

yeah but look at the bottom bar. Very similar to stock android but Samsung modded. Also notifications screen has changed to the same as my Note2. most thingswork apart from the dialer.
Touchwiz will not load at 160dpi is the reasn i 'pushed' Apex from the Play store.

Nah, that's what's supposed to happen, it's gone "Full Tablet mode" lol.
If you clear the data on the launcher, it should sort itself out and display in a tablet form.
Like this... screenshot to follow...
Update: screenshot added.

You only need to do it on the app itself, if clearing doesn't work, install another launcher then, remove and install the one you originally installed. But make sure you have at least one other Launcher than the default TouchWiz one or you could find yourself in a whole world of headache.
And no, the file that gets edited to change the dpi can only be done once rooted.

Which android version you use? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2?

Yeah, I paid for one as well. It's is the steampunk theme. I haven't taken a screen shot of it, but I like it rather well. I figured that I could spend $0.99 to make my Z1 more "mine".

Yup.and they're a nice way to keep.the Sony launcher and yet customise it. Which I think was great of Sony. I used to make Symbian ones for myself...can't wait till we can do these!
Here are all the ones available atm.

What do you mean? These are off my phone, and I don't get what you mean? I saw another thread where someone thought similar. You on your standard flash or have you flashed like myself?

I have the "+" button, but I can't download any theme ): ...
Today I got the OTA update to .290. I have not locked apps at all.
I went to Settings -> Customize -> Theme, and there's the "+" button. Sony Select appears but with nothing, just the shadd black-blue background.
If I go to Sony Select directly from the launcher, it just appears the "loading" animation and after a while it says "Not net connection. Try after a while"
PD.: I'm translating what it says to english, messages appear in my language.

I get the same error after an update to 4.3 and I saw others with the same issue on the Xperia Z forums.
I have attempted a reboot and clearing the app data.
I suspect that it may be something up with Sony's servers.

System lagging on wake up

Anyone else having issues with the system lagging or bogging down on wake up? When I get it unlocked it runs great, but is kind of annoying when I go to unlock and it takes a few seconds.

I think someone mentioned this in another thread. It might have to do with your SD Card, or it can be a theme if you have that applied

Well I went back to default theme and that seems to have fixed it...that sucks though, I liked my theme.

Was there any live wallpapers associated with your theme? try changing your lock screen wallpaper when you're using the theme see if that fixes it

Not to sure then I tried haha.
The phone is still new, so I'm guessing a lot of previous apps/themes still need to optimized for it. Give it a couple weeks; hopefully Sammy will release an update.

Hopefully. Thanks for your help.

Do you use an SD-Card?
If yes, remove it, restart your phone and see, if the lag still occurs
