Hi...
Previously to my S2, I had a Xperia ARC S.
One thing I miss very much is the magnificent sony keyboard. Does anyone know if there has been any port so we can install it on our S2?
Mm not sure if the keyboard relies on Sony framework, otherwise it would be possible to port it.
But you could try other magnificent keyboards like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S50b3VjaHR5cGUuc3dpZnRrZXkucGhvbmUudHJpYWwiXQ..
or the previously installed Swype.
Hope this helps you!
Well, maybe tryout Swiftkey X. It's just perfect, and it provides Themes. Maybe there is one you like?
cheers,

Tried them all and went back to Sony's cause it's much much easier to work!
And it end's up knowing our words and predicts easily what we wanted to write...even you press 2 or 3 wrong keys!

Still, the X10's looks better and more original, but since there's no way to get on the 2011 Xperia range, I'm glad normal slide to unlock is better ;-)

I think there is still no ICS for the first Galaxy S... Petition is pointless
galaxy s had no better hardware.
We have that much.
the xperia j is a low end phone than arc s but it is getting jelly bean

They're not testing on the arc! That was a hoax - someone used a custom ROM (based on 431 f/w which kind of gave it away) with the Android version hard-coded to 4.2. They visited a few Android sites and waited for people to spot it.
I hope they will fix ICS to be smooth like GB i don't care about 4.1 JB.JB is nearly like ICS just some more addons,so...
I just hope they fix ICS 'cause i'm not happy with it,it's laggy,camera lags,it's not that stable.So at least give us a proper ICS if not JB.

Goodbye Sony
I was planning to buy Xperia T but when I see their approach to the customers, probably I'll move to another brand. I think that all 2012 Xperia phones get update to 4.1 sometime in 2013 and it will be the last update for them - same as now for 2011 Xperia phones which got only one important update - GB -> ICS.

Yeah.
When i bought my first phone it was ericsson,then sony ericsson and i loved those phones,but sony ericsson sucks at updating firmwares.I'm thinking my next phone will be other brand no more sony if they continue giving us updates like ICS.But is still hope and think they will give us one more update,wich will fix most of bugs.Still hoping.
This sucks! ICS is a real battery drainer and more laggy than GB.. only reason I don't use GB is because the sound lags when running through Bluetooth speakers.
Hello friends,
I own a Xperia Arc S and would like to upgrade. But not shure whether to get ion or xperia s
Xperia S have good ROM support over here but kinda looks thick compared to Ion maybe coz of curved shape.(after owning arc s everything seems to look fat )
Xperia Ion has bad ROM support but looks are better than Xperia S ( according to me)
So i need your help guys in deciding.
I went through many threads but couldnt find my answers.
Any help is appreciated
Thank You

Go for Ion :good: and I'll happily welcome you to the family bro
and also,the ion is lacking of custom ROM and custom kernel because most of the Xperia ion user have the at&t version (Lt28at),some got Rogers version and international version (both are Lt28i) and some got Lt28h (without LTE,like me in my country lol xD )
thanks for replying guys...in what terms ion is better than xperia S?

I'm have been looking around for a new phone to replace my Samsung Galaxy Ace and came down to these two phones i.e. Xperia S amd Xperia Ion and I'm really torn. I can't make up my mind at all.
As you all are users already, I would like to get some insight into these two phones, the things I'm looking into are :
1)Developer community support (custom roms and stuff).
2) Battery life under moderately heavy usage(I won't mind charging once or twice daily)
3) Screen- contrasts, blacks, whites
4) I think the Camera is basically the same? Right?
5) All the reviews I've read have complained about the capacitive keys on both of them. How is it in reality? Is there a learning curve to it?
Any input would be highly appreciated. No trolls please.
Thanks.

1)Development of XS is more than ion
2)ion's battery is bigger than XS , it must charging once a day if you use an android phone.
About screen and camera, i have not used ion, i dont know
the capacitive keys......i only want to say it's not hard to use

Yes, I think ARNOB is right. It can be unlocked I think.

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
At&t ions cant be bootloader unlocked, the rest can.
Ion has bigger screen and sd card support. Developer comunity is a lot bigger for xperia s. Capacitive buttons work fine on the ion(on mine i need only one press). Personally i was going to go for an S but choose the ion instead.

Well, I've used a galaxy ace as well as both Xperia S and Xperia Ion. So here's my conclusive answer.
1. The community is very big for the Xperia S but in terms of mods and everything, ion is no way left behind.
2. Xperia Ion HSPA has a better battery imo compared to the LTE variant(due to 4G) and Xperia S.
3. Xperia S is said to have a larger dpi resulting a sharper display though I couldn't really feel the difference. While the Xperia Ion has deeper blacks, larger screen.
4. Camera is fully identical.
5. The capacitive buttons for both have no issues. But you might need a week to get used to it as its quite different from Samsung.
Hope it helps

Works perfectly on ICS. On JB every reboot I have to select the default keyboard. On my Galaxy S Advance with JB works perfectly.
This is a system bug.

You're using a leaked firmware that's intended for developers and Brown devices. You can't expect everything to work. I'd be more inclined to say that swiftly isn't compatible, yet.

The good points are that the minor bugs we saw on 6.2.B.0.197 are probably fixed, maybe the leak was intentional and they saw our comments on the leak topic so they have more chances in finding bugs and polish the rom the best they can.
Now that we have a certified ROM, It should be released this week, unless they find another bug, fix it and compile a new version, delaying the launch for some days (6.2.B.0.201...).
But I'm really hopeful about getting JB this week, maybe in the original announcement they said "From the end of may", because is when the roll out should be finished (all carriers / countries), which matches with that french carrier that showed the roll out would be on May.
What do you guys think?
Hope they fix the camera autofocus issue, and more importantly the camera white balance... I don't want all my picture turned purple ...
(the reason why I still stick to stock ICS is due to the camera quality :| )
Its also important have kernel source. Without it custom kernels for stock Rom
Are quite impossible(or require a lot of time to make it boot system)

The issues you talk about are solveable on the leak by converting to system app.
