Hello, I have bought an Xperia SL, and i have lots of questions to ask. Im pretty confused to some thread/post i read somewhere, but still it remains question.
So here are my questions about this handset.
- Does it support Fast Charging capability using the quick charger?
- Does the Anti Stain Shell still a Feature of Xperia SL? I have black though
- Does Xperia SL have Bluetooth 3.0 or 2.1? My MW600 does have a sec delay when playing games
- Is WIFI DIRECT is still a feature of Xperia S or SL? I read that feature is questionable or not existing but sony have advertised this feature for XS
- Yellow Tint and CPU Throttling underclocked cpu when over heating?
- Change logs for Update .50 or .55, is it really released? Im still using .45, and update is not yet available here.
Thank you in advance, its hard to seek answers for my questions, only a few people have XSL, and very limited thread and post to be found.

- PhoneArena says that you can Fast Charge Xperia SL, with the EP851 charger (or whatever they replaced it with
- Not sure on the "Anti-Stain Shell," though you could get a case instead if you don't want stains on your SL. I have the black one, BTW.
- WiFi Direct? I don't see it in Settings -> Connectivity -> More,... (I see it when I open up a Galaxy S III) ; or you were referring to DLNA? (It works just fine.)
- My SL has a yellow tint to it, though it is only prevalent if I plunge the brightness below 33%.
- I am based in the Philippines, my SL is a Taiwanese model, and I still am on .45. You could use Flashtool to shoehorn the .50 or .55 ROMs (Last I saw changelogs, it was some bugfixes and some country-specific fixes.
Hope I helped. :fingers-crossed:
And Bluetooth is v2.1, but seems like P is getting an update to 3.0 (dunno how). We might get it also.

Hi Guys,
I Flashed Offical ICS Release for Xperia ARC S to my Xperia ARC, like many of us.
After few hours of usage.
I noticed, sometimes my ARC can't response properly to my touch.
Like, i try swipe left from home screen it swipe back itself.
it is also happening when im using Browser (Any Browser)
Sometimes, It's doing weird things after i touch it.
(BTW I checked my all other fingers and they are not touching to the screen )
And i remember, Xperia ARC's and ARC S's display drivers are different.
Is it driver related problem ?
Or is it just me seeing weird things
If it is driver related, will it be fixed when Offical ICS for Xperia ARC released ?
Thank you for reading.
Sorry for my English.
Best Regards.
try restarting your phone...my phone does that kind of thing sometimes while charging..
I restarted it a lot
Thank you for your answer.
i have this issue playing temple run on ics.......swipe to tuen and i jump!
Hm..
So maybe it is Driver related like i thought ?
Thank you for answer.
have you tried selecting in developer options "pointer location". Does it shows you something wrong with the touchscreen?
Are you running the ICS Arc S firmware on the vanilla Arc (LT15)?
If so, that may be it. I remember reading from Sony stating that there is a minor difference in screen (hardware/software...cannot remember which) when comparing the Arc S to the original Arc.
That could explain why Arc users may be experiencing a little touch delay when running the official Arc S ICS Rom.
The same problem on Xperia Ray ST18i too..

i can confirm that this happens. using cm9 on the xperia pro
for me even happens on cm9 for arc
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app
Yep...weird responses even if I didnt select them.
Especially in games.
AFAIK Sony did mention that you would experience lag on ICS as it requires a bit largers specs than the Xperia 2011 devices. Honestly I would expect these kind of situations specially this was the initial release.

If so, is there some possibility that some DEV could get the drivers from a LT15a/i to get implemented?
Yupp, This Thing Happens with me When I'm Playing Temple Run
Althouth In Normal Usage, It doesnt.
Anybody tried this : [ICSbeta] finally a responsive touchscreen + battery life *try this* : UPDATED 4/7/12 ??
Also add this line to build.prop:
Code:
ro.max.fling_velocity=4000
I have the same problem with Temple Run (Arc S) on the final ICS release.
I also occasionally open a game like Angry Birds, Frisbee, etc. and the touch controls just don't work at all. Other apps are fine (Draw Something for example). Sometimes a reboot fixes it - sometimes I have to power off/on.
It's driving me nuts.

I also have the same issue with Tempe run on ICS.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Yeah, I confirm it too. Happens in all ICS roms I've tried; CM9, JJ's 1.1, Arconium ICS 1.0 etc.
Temple Run is unplayable, what a shame.
I'm using ICS official, touch screen is not what is used to be on GB.
What a shame Sony

Single touch responsiveness is just as good as GB over here.
Simultaneous dual touch (tapping two fingers at the same time) on the other hand, is a different story. Most of the time it only registers the first touch and the second touch is slightly late.
I Just wondering, will there be a newer firmware for the xperia lineup than 4.1.B.0.431? Becouse in being useable the ICS on the Xperia Pro is quite lame, the facebook calendar sync eat my data traffic, the battery life poor, quadrant on .62 gingerbread is about ~1700 on ICS <1200, no screenshot, the hole graphical interface is a lagged sh*t, flash player is a shame too...
So I just wondering will there be an update wich fix these problems or these problem comeing from the hardware cannot hand the ICS? I have flashed my xperia back to the latest GB but I would be glad to use a sony ICS rom...
The fb calendar sync in GB used to eat data as well. Was a major pain. In the end, I just disabled fb.
I could have dealed with it in the GB firmware but it's not my main problem... it's it speed, it's being so laggy...
4.0.4 is running fine..gr8 improvement from 4.0.3 which was laggy...try scripts to make your phone smooth and fast like Thunderbolt and Supercharger
Now the amazing reveal: you have screen shot on ICS!

That's just deviating from the topic. And moreover, we had screenshot ability in GB 2.3.4 itself.
Hold the power button down and you were presented with a list of options. One of which was screenshot.

hello,
I left the X10 community few days ago & am currently settling here.
I just bought my new ARC S yesterday.and playing with it till now.its very sexy & cool.loving it so far.But i am a bit curious about the ICS update which was released for ARC S .Android version 4.0.4.
I would like to update to ICS.but am really afraid if something goes wrong.I just want some genuine opinion from people who have used ICS 4.0.4 on ARC S.
Is there any issues after the update?
I hear some networking issues ppl facing after update, is it true & also for ARC S ?
how is the performing speed & smoothness of the UI ?
any Issues relating to ICS update to 4.0.4 is welcome.
I am not referring to 4.0.3.
Thank U ... U R feedback's will be most helpful to me.....
First of all Welcome to the sexy Arc s world
Secondly, Wrong section...This is general section..questions goes in Q&A Section
Well 4.0.4 is really good...compared to buggy laggy 4.0.3..
It doesnt have any network issues if u flash right baseband
My advice to get smooth and lagfree performance is to root your phone..then remove all crappy bloatware..then supercharge your phone..
for best performance use custom kernel..and to flash custom kernel you need to unlock the bootloader..
How about you read the ICS discussion? It's a sticky right on this very thread!
I know you asked for the 4.0.4 part but you'll find it in that thread.
Give the whole thing a read. It's worth it. It should give you all what you asked plus a little extra.

4.0.4 is a lot better in comparison to the earlier release of 4.0.3
Better WiFi, improved battery backup, less lag. But it still contains the LED bug and the Dialpad lag.
The best thing that you could do is what Xtacy! suggested already. Read the ICS discussion thread. It should help a lot.
And BTW, wrong section

The LED doesn't notify upon receiving a text msg while the screen is off. It notify only once. But in GB it used to notify after certain interval so that we can understand that a msg was received.
Users were complaining about it also in SONY Forum.

Actually..there is no problem with ics for arc s,
It is fast, and stable for daily use as it is official
But for hard gaming, it is sometimes laggy (but don't worry it is the same in gb)
All i can say is update your phone and amaze yourself for new

haha GB same than ICS for gaming, are u kidding me? GB is and will be the best for gaming + smoothness
If you like gaming stay in GB. In ICS you will have to make tweaks to run them smoothly.
Example (its for Arc but it applies to ArcS too since its a memory issue):
Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave worked ok in GB but on ICS it crashes after a while but when I use a Ram swapper (uses sd for RAM), its ok.
Try those new JB adreno drivers too.

If you like playing all games that can be played on arcs gb than stay on gb.ICS has camera recording issue,laggs.I have flashed 5 times ICS in hope i will find a ROM stable for playing,recording,but i come back to GB.The best in ICS is the UI it's very nice Rom but it's laggy and i don't like laggy.

at the moment, ICS on the arc is still buggy. the firmware has not matured enough not to have glitches. so far, the most annoying things I noticed are the terrible battery life, glitches like unexplained FC, and the network mode bug which resets your preferred mode after reboot. even sotck based custom roms are not immune to these problems since they practically use the same base software
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983559
I have an Arc lt15i and i recently updated from GB .62 to ICS .587.
I found ICS visually better than GB, but otherwise not too much difference.
Bad points:
- LED notification doesn't work for received SMS
- System/user apps use more memory
- The phone gets damn near hot when downloading thru 3G, watching video, browsing internet.
LED not a bid deal for me. There's a menu in Settings called Developer Options which allows you to control the number of background processes. I set it to no background processes and kept my free memory up around 160-190MB instead of 50-60MB in standard setting. And the heat coming from the back/top-half of the phone was what bothered me, because it felt like it was going to damage the phone from overheating.
Good points:
- Phone Dialer a lot better to use
- Music player controls on lock screen
- Ability to 'disable' system/user apps when they can't be uninstalled.
I just found out today how to downgrade firmware and that's what i've just done. I'm now back to GB .42 and rooted.
In my opinion, try ICS out, cos if you don't like it just flash the old firmware back.
If i can get those 'good points' into GB, i'd be happy.
So long as you're using a custom ROM then ICS should be fine. I found stock ICS to be very laggy.
Hi Folks,
I was using HTC explorer Earlier and thanks to XDA Member I had several roms that I could choose from.
Well Now i am using xperia Ion HSPA version Lt28h to be very precise, my question to all of you using Xperia Ion is: Which Rom is the best so far (I am not asking this to compare anybodies work neither to show some roms down) I am asking this opinion so that I would not need to keep on flashing different roms as I have on my explorer.
Certain things about my usage and also about the understanding after going through the development section:
I use my phone for camera mainly and then gaming also to listen songs. My problem: my phone heats up almost to 49 degree Celsius while playing games even like candy crush.
Also my battery back up is very low+ the performance has gone down in terms of processing speed in the album app.
Please assist / Help me by giving your comments on which rom is the best (where the phone wouldn't heat, would have good atleast decent battery backup and has honami or cybershot camera app)
Btw, I had heard that Nature Rom is the best so far wout any bugs and has a theme engine + honami camera too :laugh: please tell me the reviews on that rom as well :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a ton for patiently reading through my pain area's and problems :highfive: looking forward to responses from Ion users
