Apps not working - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, i upgraded my xperia arc to ICS three days after it had come been released. The issue is that previously all apps i ever installed were working. Since the upgrade most of the heavy games such as Asphalt 6, Asphalt 7, GT motor academy and many more are not running or stop working even before the race starts.
I had bricked my phone 6 months ago in an attempt to root it and with the help of a ROM from XDA, i was able to get my phone running again. After this my phone refused to get updated through PC suite but successfully went through the Sony updater.
Can anyone plz tell me if this can be fixed and what is causing it??

It's more of an ics problem, I have issues with games as well but not the ones you mentioned.
Ics is not game friendly like gb was, not100% certain but don't think there is a work around other than going back to gb.

Angry Birds Runs on Arc S?
hi,
Anyone tried Angry Birds GO?
I gave it try in 2 or 3 ROMs i like, i never succeded ...
Perhaps too heavy for our device?
I am not a heavy player, just once in a while some asphalt 7 and have no problems with that...
Thanks,

Anyone?

Problem w/ any N64oid racing game

I hava a rooted 989 but I use the stock rom from T-Mobile. Wll I downloaded N64oid from slide me a few weeks ago and most games work pretty good. The problem that I'm having is that when ever I play any racing game after a few minutes whichever part of the screen that you use for the gas peddal will become unresponsive and the vehicle will slow to a stop. If I let my finger off for a few seconds it'll come back every once in a while. It only happens with the N64oid app, I also use FPSE (Playstation Emulaor) and it works great. Before I had this phone I had a Samsung Captivate and then a LG Thrill with at&t and both phones ran this app flawlessly. Every once in a while the Thrill would have this problem but that was only with a few games where the Galaxy S II does it with every single racing game. Any non racing game that I play works great. Anyone else having this problem and does anyone have a solution? So far I've tried remapping the buttons to be on different parts of the screen and downloading roms from different websites.
Prepare for trolling!
Sounds like theres a compatibility issue. Have you tried another version of n64oid? I haven't had that problem on mine.

I originally had the free version from Slide ME but a update became available it said the only way to update was to buy the app. Since it already wasn't working with racing games on my 989 I thought what the hell and paid the $5. But even witht he updated app racing games don't work. Can I ask what version your using?
Same issue to with Mario Kart 64. Do you mind letting us know what version your using that is free from this issue.

Incompatible Games

Firstly, my SGS3 is completely stock and not rooted.
I've been having issues with games not being compatible and then seeing other people playing the game that was incompatible on my phone. It started with Modern Combat 3 which refused to download the additional data because of a "connection issue". I contacted Gameloft who sent me a new APK which had the same problem. They then sent me Asphalt 6 and Gangstar Rio: City of Saints all of which had the same problem. I have since tried MIBIII and NOVA 3 which both said that they were not compatible with my handset and to request a refund.
Apart from when Gameloft sent me a game, all the games were purchased/downloaded from the Play store.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there a work around that I haven't been able to find? I've searched a stack of threads and haven't found an answer to hit the nail on the head.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Even i'm not able to install most of the games you have mentioned above, if you find a fix, please do update here
Thanks

All of the games you mentioned have worked (or work) on my S3.. i dont know why you are having issues.
NOVA 3 works fine for me, but Modern Combat 3 even does not shows up in playstore on S3, and if i try through web it says it's not compatible with my handset, i've non-rooted stock ROM in my S3, i've already purchased MC3 earlier for my S2
Thanks

Same, MC3 and 9MM doesn't even show up in the app store.
This is one of the reason i'm unable to ditch my iOS devices
had no problems with nova 3 on s3
i have seen a video of a person playig N.O.V.A on his s3.
one more incompatable game for s3 is fifa 12 ( i really want to play)
These games work on my rooted stock rom with chainfire3d and nvidia's drivers installed. The market fix males them visible too.

Not possible with ICS,on any ROM,games lag to much,i have tried ICS stock,and with Ultimate HD but to laggy,so i downgrade it to GB.GB rocks with heavy gaming.

The only game I'm aware of that doesn't work with ICS is Shadowgun, all other games should generally work on ICS, more so if you're using a custom ROM, I'm using Xperia Ultimate HD2, and it works pretty well, plenty of Ram available, just make sure you don't fill your phone with apps that use up your phones storage and runs in the background, try finding alternative apps that are smaller and don't run on the background constantly. If you have a CPU clocking app, make sure it's set to performance and you should be able to run anything.

Did you play heroes o&c? My arc s runs runs smooth in tutorial but when I loading match, it fc.
Btw, thanks for your advices

Ah, no I haven't, I don't really like games on mobile devices, and I refuse to download a game that's 800mb, mainly because I only have an 8gb S.D card, if you check the reviews, people with our phone seem to be able to play it.

if you're much of a gamer, just install x-gamer rom. it's based on GB but tweaked

try changing dpi to 240. dead trigger touchpads work?
I never played the game but here are some general suggestions.
Change your build.prop values like android version back to default (You will still obviously be on JB, some games use that as a measure).
Try the touchpad activator app because the touch pads are utilized in two ways but so far we only to know how to use one way at a time.
Maybe later I'll get some more ideas from memory.

Tried all that.
Then there is no other option. Go back to stock quit complaining.
Ok, i switched kernels and now it works.
