Hi everyone
I made this discussion to explain why we should update to JB Although we know ICS is better for us
Battery, camera, wifi and 2g is better works on ICS
So, I did not find anything distinctive call me for the update
because ics is and always was a load of poo?

Why do you need to create a thread? It's a waste of space. Use the existing JB thread. Besides, your thesis statement is extremely poor. Sony fixed all the bugs you mentioned with .96 .

Phone is more fluid on JB, enough for me to update.
Also more apps are compatibile in google play (stronger API)

it's up to you. if you want to update just update . if you want to stay just stay. everybody have they own opinion.
I've updated to JB because the feature implemented by google, like google now, project butter, etc.
and I don't have problem with battery, camera, wifi, 2g in JB. I can accept battery life and camera quality in JB. wifi is good, and i'm barely touch 2G since i live in the middle of city with a lot of 3G signal.
however, you can try latest JB update from sony (even some custom ROM). but if you are not happy, then you can go back to ICS whenever you want. you're not forced to use JB anyway.

Is the camera good to you? battery?
I need to know that from users and what they feel with JB, not just to create a thread

Yes both camera and battery life is superb on JB.....i found problem in video recording which is solved by LG Camera App....check That thread of mine for more info........
Because yes.
Maybe you should stick with GB . And I'm serious here, Bravia Engine works on unlocked bootloaders, it's probably the least memory intensive stock OS you can get, so not as much apps getting closed and camera was also arguably the best on GB roms. I'd never want to use a 3 year old OS, but if full functionality is your deal, maybe that's the way to go.
ICS is one big lagfest. That people are still complaining about the .96 update is because people just like complaining and they forget easily. I haven't seen one proper side-by-side comparison of the ICS vs JB firmware, so what can you base your judgment on? If you think Google Now doesn't negatively affect the battery, you're naive. But luckily you can disable that (it's not even on by default). Your phone is also getting older, it's very possible that your battery performs less good than a year ago, that might cost you 30-60 minutes in battery life by now. If you'd compare battery life under heavy usage between .96 and .55, there probably won't be any difference because the screen drains the most. I couldn't tell you how long the phone lasts if you barely touch it, because I use it too much for that. And any standby battery drain is for me easily worth it because JB is just so much snappier. I also almost never go 4 hours without a plug near me (and that's being hyperbolic, I just charge at night and that suffices).
And about the camera focusing slowly, it has done that on every firmware I've ever had on this phone. I remember reading the reviews before buying my XS, and journalists were complaining about the focusing time, now have it more than 12 months. It's possible that ICS .50 and .55 were a little better but it was never a strong point.
But I barely tried the .96 update since I upgraded to OpenSEMC a day or 2 after the .96 release. Infinite customizing lured me away .

10 hours was not normal at all. You're getting very bad results that noone else is getting. I'd check your apps, maybe do a clean installation. Also the results of the first day don't mean much because the phone is syncing a lot at the beginning. And disable Google Now.

I'm currently looking for a ROM base to modify to my needs. I really like the features available in cm but I'm not sure if cm10 (stock) is stable enough for production use yet. Does anyone have experience with this?
Been using it for about a month now and have no issues what so ever, I recommend the builds by Euroskank as he adds some really useful features.

I threw CM10 on mine and I had some radio issues. I don't know the technical details but the signal wouldn't lock in completely. The signal notification on the top bar would never turn blue no matter how perfect signal was, the wifi wouldn't lock in blue either. Reverted to stock for now.
Other than that it was awesome!

How is your battery life? GPS? Still no bugs?
I'm still running Pete's Bugless Beast and its so perfect but just no mods or customization. I want to be able to customize but I don't know that I want to risk losing my bugless JB...
Has anyone compiled cm10 from source with no customizations other than the camera, NFC, and GPS files? How is that build? I'm going to be modifying it for personal and perhaps submit back.

GPS is perfect. Locks immediately. Battery life is nothing to write home about. I have the official extended battery and with decent use I might get 8hrs if I'm lucky. I'm up for ideas on other JB ROMs for Verizon that have better battery life.
Everything is perfect except for the battery. Almost afraid to flash another ROM because everything on the CM10 preview works for me.

JTFC, that's awful. How does it compare with what you had on ICS? I get decent battery life on JB (CM10), but still slightly lower (10-15%) than on CM9, but 1.5 to 2 days is still possible with my use + 3 hours screen on or so over that time. This holds true for all the JB ROMs I've run. 4-5 hours of screen on time over a workday of hard use is still possible for me, but idle drain seems to be hit/miss, some nights 0.25%/hour, other's 1%. Sync seems to be a more of a battery eater on JB, and I haven't bothered running Google Now since the first day or two I ran JB.
Shall see how today's JRO03L build performs.
Running vicious rom, the cm10, great with Franco kernel and his app. No complaints. Only thing is i can't get play music to download to my phone from the cloud

Unfortunately I don't have anything to compare it to. The GNex was a warranty replacement for my old Thunderbolt. After I got the GNex I immediately rooted and threw the first JB ROM on it I could find. I will keep searching through various threads in the development forum and see what I can come up with.
Oh and thanks for confirming my suspicion that my battery life is below average. The weekend is here. Plenty of time for experimenting

I highly recommend Better Battery Stats if you don't have it already. There's a free XDA version posted on the site, but the Market version is well worth the ~3$ also. Sync and location services (GPS or Google) and Google Now seem to be the biggest offenders on JB. I run sync and location sparingly.
That said, the GN is definitely no battery queen unfortunately :crying:
I'm trying to figure this one out. Sony said when offered the option to upgrade to ICS that there would be no going back and that ICS might be a bit slow and buggy (in so many words) in PC Companion.
So my question is: Why did they not give the option to downgrade back to GB if they think it was better? I just don't understand what the problem would have been in doing so. Sure it would require a wipe but this could be given a BIG warning 'click again if you are DEFINITELY OK with this!' type thing.
I am puzzled as to why it was not offered if people did not like ICS.

I preferred the interface to what I am currently running (JJ Hybrid 3.1) but the bloatware and lag in ICS stock was horrible. Right now I am trying to figure out why I have so little available RAM left. Using ES Task Manager even running only 3 apps I only gain 120-130mb back but that soon vanishes. I've moved lots of apps off onto my SD card too though I am not sure this makes much of a difference to available RAM. I read about a partition trick to get more memory available but it looks complicated.
Anyhow it still does not answer my question as to why Sony decided in their infinite wisdom to not allow a rollback.
I'm just airing my opinions
At least they "warned" you/us about heavier ICS system requirements compared to GB, so it was our decision whether we will upgrade or not.
Also, ICS update is far from being "horrible" to me. Yes, the first update was far from perfect, but new one is much better, regarding many things. Most noticably smoother performance, camera improvements (camcorder also), and to me even more stable wifi connection compared to GB, while some people are reporting wifi as being "unstable".
About bloatware, there is MORE bloatware in stock GB than in stock ICS, at least in my case. My Arc S (bought 2 months ago) was originally on last GB version 4.0.2.a.0.69 (very rare one), and compared to last ICS update, there were more bloatware apps. Also, freshly installed, ICS is having more free memory than GB (due to less bloatware among other things).
And when I kill all processes in ICS, I'm having about 180-200Mb of free space.
Conclusion: I'm not saying it's better than stock GB, but it's far from being horrible and unusable, in my opinion. GB is smoother, more optimized for Arc/S hardware, lighter on battery, and more stable, but for people who wants fresh OS, with few options and tweaks more, and with (arguably) better user interface, there is ICS, tolerable and usable.
I think that they were trying to convince people not to update, or at least think twice if you were not that bothered.
Though saying this, there is no reason for not allowing roll back. Apart from them having to spend a little more time editing PC Companion to allow for the downgrade, but this would be nothing for Sony........
Hi everyone,
Seeing as my carrier (TMobile UK) is taking forever to release a JB update for me, I just wanted to know what peoples experiences with the new update are like. Are your phones alot better now then when they were running the ICS versions, whats the performance and battery life like? Is this update really an update worth waiting for or is it something that is alright but nothing special.
Thanks all.

Battery life seems a little worse while i'm web browsing but for some really really small tasks like reading an ebook i can get 8-9 hours screen-on time but in general, worse battery life until custom kernels come out.
When I first received the JB update a month ago I was extremely hyped but now...... not really much hype left. Just a small performance increase is all I have noticed. Photos taken from the camera seem to be worse than in ICS but videos much smoother.
It's really nothing special unless you really love that light blue colour instead of the green.

Very stable. Been using CM10 as a daily driver since... around Decemember I am guessing. I have been following the weekly FXP updates and flash/wipe every time a major change come along our way.
Highly recommend CM10!
We are missing 1080p recording, Panoramic mode doesn't work on the camera... um that's all I can really think of. I've been using it so long that any minor bugs doesn't bother me anymore. It runs much better than CM9 and way faster than stock. Battery life is probably equivalent to stock ICS... again been away from stock for so long I don't really know anymore.
I ran stock for about two weeks and then broke open the bootloader and installed CM9. It was awesome! I went back to CM9 once after running CM10 for about 10 days while I was on vacation (needed the battery life before it was better optimized) and even then I missed CM10. Flashed CM10 back and never left.
With JB sources released for the Acro S we can only hope that the FXP team fix even more bugs and make CM10 even better. Hopefully soon also take us to CM10.1!
Oh one more thing for battery life. I was in Japan a couple of weeks ago with CM10 installed. With no data connection and using wifi only with auto-brightness enabled. (data uses more battery than wifi) According to batterbatterystats (my best record) I managed to push about 3hours 45min of "screen on" on a full charge. From the morning till the evening. Surfing the web, whatsapp, facebook, email, and some youtube. Hope that gives you an idea of battery life.

That is some good battery life, isn't?
Take in account that the Qualcomm is the regular SoC choice on every Xperia (except Xperia P) and Snapdragon is pretty powerhungry on stock firmware-based devices right? I hope CM10 is an batteryfriendly AOSP choice for the Acro S..
And yes, one more thing.. How is the camera performance on CM based ROMs for Xperia Acro S? Better or worse than stock? Camera is important to me..

That's really the only info we have is that it's coming. AT&T states within the month of May on their support pages, but they've been known to not follow through with plans like these.
Looking at the d2spr build, 4.4 on the s3 brings nothing new from the new touchwiz. Just an updated core system with advantages from KitKat. The main advantage being memory usage, but then look at memory usage screenshots here on these forums the memory usage has not gone down(This is probably due to Touchwiz no doubt), more or less the 4.4 update will incorporate corporate features such as Knox 2.0. Which from a developers point it's useless, but it does protect the end user which is good for personal and business use.

After you take off AT&T's bloat, but if you keep the base touchwiz stuff it'll use more memory than the Jelly Bean version.
At&T has a history of sending out updates that are full of issues. I would love to run the stock 4.4, but it is likely AT&T will include some problems with the update to make it much less desirable.The 4.3 update is a good example.

That's excellent that not all phones have had issues. I will say mine has had a slew of different issues. Camera is extremely slow, random slowdowns, latency when waking the phone from the lock screen. All this and 100% stock. I also get absolutely horrible battery life.
I'm really hoping this update... Whenever it comes, will fix many of these issues.

Can't say on the camera part, but it's memory being hogged by AT&T and Touchwiz bloat(You can disable what you don't need, we have it set to automatically disable), the lock delay is a common galaxy issue, and battery life just kind of sucks period. It's going to with 2 radios in there, and a big amoled screen. (Linux still doesn't have the greatest battery support either.)

That's excellent that not all phones have had issues. I will say mine has had a slew of different issues. Camera is extremely slow, random slowdowns, latency when waking the phone from the lock screen. All this and 100% stock. I also get absolutely horrible battery life.

The update will probably fix some issues and create some new ones.
The updated Google Play services is the battery drain NOT 4.3. Greenify and Battery Doctor and under developer settings set to limit to 2 background apps. I get battery life of almost 30 hours...with WiFi and Data on.
