Should I continue the Sony (Ericsson) streak? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using the Sony (Ericsson) phones since it wasn't running Android. I don't want to loose that streak but I also want to go for the Samsung GSIII or HTC One X. I love how Sony (Ericsson) designed their phones but I also want a good phone for gaming purposes. Games like Modern Combat 3 doesn't run smooth on my Xperia Arc S but it does on my mother's Samsung GSII. Please help. I'll be upgrading my phone in December.
Extra: My post is not the same as the one under mine.

It's up to YOU!

I'll be breaking it.. I'm an SE user since K700 days.. Now, they are not just up-to-date with the latest hardware. Anyways, a dual core phone with 480p display will run games smooth! Or if you're really want a gaming device, I'll suggest S 3..

Hmmm.. I'll think about it. I still accept suggestions.

if your a gamer and you want smooth gaming, i suggest you overclock your phone

Yes I thought of that. Problem is not all kernel provides overclocking while having a Battery Friendly tweak in it. I also, like most users, wants a good battery life. Plus, why are we talking about this? I thought it was about the next phone I am going to choose?

If you REALLY want gaming, get a 3DS/PSVita and a Sony Smartphone. But I assume that by December Sony will release a quad-core phone.

Person, i don't understand you, you buy a phone which has the capability to bake cookies,make coffie,wash dishes but is limited by the manufacturer and/or network, its like buying a sports car that has been limited to 30 mph, the first thing you should do to is is remove the limiter.

[Q] Huge difference between Samsung ICS & Sony ICS..

One of my frnds own Samsung Galaxy S2 & I have Xperia Arc.. Today I checked the ICS from Samsung & ICS from Sony.. The ICS version of Sony sucks big time. It lags and doesnt have proper functionality whereas Samsung ICS is way far better than Sony and is quite stable with great functionality... Why doesnt Sony learn something from Samsung? I have been a huge fan of Sony since the days of SE K750i handset but now I feel really sad the way Sony is releasing the softwares...
I hope that you was drunk or anything when you wrote this..
The ICS Sony / Sony Ericsson* version is superior to the Samsung one, in every way. Just look how good ICS works on Arc S and compare to S2 model and it's like day and night.

Could it be more a Hardware, then software thing?
Galaxy S2 is a dual core at 1.2Ghz, while Arc is single core at 1Ghz
and well that Super AMOLED+ screen...

Whilst it is most certainly true that different manufacturers have their own strengths and weaknesses, the fact that people are unwilling or unable to discuss this like adults means this thread has out-lived it's usefulness.

bought this game yesterday evening on my sgs3 and downloaded the whole 1,8gb just to see that it, well, just doesn't start.
yeah. maybe i should have read more blogposts about horn just working on tegra atm. but seriously, why the hell can I purchase a game on my phone, that actually isn't supported?
take a look at this screen and tell me wtf they are thinking:

It's not about the money cause I can't return it @play store. It just really pisses me off, that I can purchase a game ON MY PHONE that ist listed compatible, but just is not.
I saw the graphics, mind blowing. I really want to play it.

you were lucky enough to purchase it. I cant even do that. See one of these threads. there are a lot of workarounds to play tegra/THD games on exynos/mali based chipsets. you might be able to play
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713759
Google still should refund you if you ask. Chainfire 3D might work but you won't get tegra3 visuals and it doesn't work on Jelly Bean.

I have been playing on my Nexus 7 and it is boss.
Seems crazy to me though that you would release a premuim game but not on the most popular high end handset out there. Mental.
I'm sure that economics will dictate an S3 version will come out soon, especially isf the S3 continues to sell units by the Metric Shedload!

Modding aspects of the ION?

I am getting back to sony after being too tired with all galaxy, leaving my s2
I was looking for a bigger screen but to be frank I was being disapointed to see there is only one present yet thats ION, and since onto modding, i Found this forum is really low with Custom roms.
Please let me know your future with ION moders and otherwise I have to get the S or Arc S or something like that.
Thnks guys!
Read the forums a bit that would explain everything, The Ion has a locked boot loader so we are unable to make custom roms or any major mods until it is unlocked

I'd "buy" it again tomorrow, but that's just me.

Depends on what version you need to buy tomorrow. I would not bother with the ion lt28at if I had other choices just due to the locked bootloader. Although it doesn't really matter now but soon I believe better kernels will be ported and or modded for this device and unlocked bootloader is important to me. that being said I love my lt28h since I do not have 4g with tmobile but connects at full h+ speeds. Phone is awesome with miui+v6+adrenaline+3g tweaks.+ZEAM. I hope you get the phone that you fits your needs i think the sony ION is a great phone and has some cool features but if your buying the international versions either the lt28h or lt28i I would look at all the options in that price range.

[Q] Barebones ROM

Hi there,
I am running CM12 (Lollipop) on my HTC Desire HD and was very excited to see it on there
But now I feel like the experience is choppy at best. Yes I can overclock and underclock but I have a couple questions:
a) Is there a typical process that can be halted that would improve the performance of the phone when running CM12?
b) As an older guy, I'm a little old school. I want to see my old phone be zippy and light (ie getting the most out of the old hardware while maintaining fluidity). Is there a ROM that would be considered barebones...I really need the basics:
- phone, messaging
- connectivity/tethering
- camera
- performance tools/features
- decent battery life
I do no real gaming on my phone (simple games at most)...nor do I watch movies other than occasionally pulling up a video on youtube and or review a vid just recorded
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I feel CM12 was cool, but it seems overkill on this dated hardware
Thanks
