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..

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.
Hi. May I ask what are the improvements for the latest ICS 4.0.4 firmware for Arc S?
I already have the update, but I didn't start updating my phone yet.
Can someone post some performance and hardware improvements. Thanks!
Feels ALOT smoother than the 4.0.3 release. It's got a new baseband, and I have noticed quite a few bug fixes.
The only thing that still sucks balls is the speed of the dialer and contacts lookup, as this is a primary phone function, it's shocking how poorly coded it is, when comparable apps from the store like exDialer are so much faster.
Come on Sony, if as you claim you want to be up there as one of the big Android sellers next year, then you need to sort these lots of little things out, as lots of little things make big differences.
Did they fixed the wifi bug???

WHat!? Really? mine opens in less than a half second...
The battery bug for me is totally gone. I will need some more time testing but so far it seems to be even better than GB for me.
Had no problems with WiFi and tbh its improved for me also. It connects so quick when turning on, the fastest I've seen WiFi connect on any firmware across my various Sony phones
The whole experience is almost perfectly smooth, even with all my apps in the background and heavy auto sync apps (facebook, fb for xperia, friendcaster, exchange email, imap email, whatsapp and google with music, instant upload etc)
Only thing is I would agree with the dialer/contacts app being slow, but usually for me its only when entering it, once its loaded its usually quite smooth I only put this down to all my contacts which are all linked to facebook, google, whatsapp etc
If it helps, I should mention I use Go Launcher as my home launcher
Would highly recommend upgrading
Hm, the slowness of opening Phone or Contacts was the main reason why I reverted to 2.3.4 after trying 4.0.3 so this makes me think it's not worth to try 4.0.4 after all.
Are there any real advantages of 4.0.4 over 2.3.4? Beyond a fresh interface and higher version numbers? Is game performance still worse in ICS than GB?
What about the home launcher is it still slow as hell/Now im on arconium muiu and i really like it but i still want to know about the 4.0.4

4.0.3 for me was really slow and poor all round. Although I mentioned it is slow in 4.0.4, it is only as slow as it was for me on 2.3.4. I wouldn't say its any slower. And so far it seems smoother once it has opened. Hope this helps!
Feels much faster than 4.0.3 but light notifications aren't working and they're quite important to me.
It's far from perfect.
Hi. Thank you for all of your replies. I'm currently updating my phone thru PCC.
Did they fix digital compass bug in google map??

It is a lot smoother than the last 4.0.3 release (that release was CRAP) BUT it still is not as smooth as GB
I think I can stand using 4.0.4 for a couple more days, then I'm flashing back to the buttery smoothness of GB.
I hope the next ICS release will be up to the quality of their GB releases.

how about the Battery and the Camera improvements? Thanks!
I'm happy about the update, my Arc S got faster than I had from the previous version.
If you guys are experiencing slowness or lagspikes after the ICS update directly from PCC or SEUS.. It would be best to do a backup and do a master reset..
What sony did was update the software and pretty much synced the current software and existing info with the ICS 4.0.4 update instead of completely deleting the GB software and installing ICS..
I also did my daily routine with the new update to find out the battery life difference.. For me its much more efficient..
There is still the issue with the digital compass of google maps..
Some apps are not yet optimized for ICS but thats acceptable since ICS only holds a very small percentage of users compared to GB users..
The camera feels more faster in response time.. The update now has an option to enable/disable an on-screen shutter button.. But i still prefer the touch-screen snapping option instead of the shutter button option though..

can you teach me how to do Master Reset? Thanks.
Btw, why does the camera image quality in 4.0.4 became blurry even it uses Auto-Focusing?
As stated in the title I have the AT&T ion and just like everyone else I got sick of running ICS. I decided to flash the international jelly bean firmware but no matter how many times I do I keep getting the battery issue, lag within my app drawer, and the HD video recording problem (which I know can't be fixed yet). Some people say the battery settles over time or after running down but my main issue is the lag. It's extremely annoying, and I only get it when scrolling through the app drawer, not the homescreens. I tried rooting and tweaking, clean installs (even without keeping the baseband) and even using third party launchers but no matter what it still lags. In Nova launcher for example I get it while opeining the app drawer. I've searched all over about this but I've only seen one other person with this problem. I have no idea what the problem is because it's obviously not the launcher itself, or the kernel, or the firmware in general but I can't seem to get rid of it unless to use ICS. So my question is: anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance
I am running the 28i rogers with the Honami home and don't have these issues. Restoring apps from a ics Sony backup can cause problems too. With standby mode I get a day from it on average. Try a clean install of the Rogers rom and de bloat it.
U could try to supercharge it..

Thanks for the responses. But like I said it's not the launcher or anything like that. I used the stock international firmware and had it rooted and debloated, and I used the honami launcher which was definitely an improvement but didn't solve the problem. The battery thing seems to be hit or miss, i would say about half of those on jelly bean seem to have it. I'll look into supercharging it. Do you have a link to anything in the forums? thanks
Hello guys,
I update my xperia zl to kitkat version (4.4.2), and it gets some issues like:
1) Camera app takes longer to start than when I had Jelly bean.
2)The settings Menu lags a hell lot..its really annoying because I expected an increase in system performance when I updated to 4.4.2.
3) Scrolling response isnt fluid and feels worse than before
There is a way to fix this issues? This problems happens to another models of xperia zl?
Thanks

Well, i agree with the first one... That's why i'm using Google Camera (from Play Store)
I think you need to enable the Force GPU Rendering on Developer Option on Setting... If you don't find the Developer Option, you need to tap 7 times on Build Number
If it helps, don't forget to click Thanks button
could people tell me if it's worth going to 4.4.4 from 4.3. I want to know if most of the issue from the 4.4.3 kitkat version has been fixed now with the new update and how good is the battery life now? Any overheating or random reboots?
It's much better than 4.4.2
Smooth,no battery drain,better multitask...etc
I think .283 is worth update
I am using stock 4.4.4rom&advanced stock kernel

You guys forgot to mention worse camera quality
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55363852&postcount=24
i just updated mine to 4.4.4.. and upon fresh first install, it was very laggy, and it was overheating very badly that i had to power off to cool it down... not a promising start...
better than 230,but it is all your choice,lol

Ehh really?? I use my camera a lot so maybe I should just stay in 4.3
In my opinion... it does worth!
Soon after I had updated, I've already noticed the incredible change: No graphics lag! (No 2D GPU rendering anymore)
With two days of testing I had the conclusion that the battery lasts an average of 16 hours! Said "average" because of the continuous use of the device. I was listening to musics, using Skype in conferences, 3G/4G active all day long.
Conclusion: Feeling free of the lag from the previous update, and although the continuous use I got 16 hours of battery, and now it is not overheating and not noticed "freezes" on the screen. I can assure you it's worth the update!
the launcher for mine seems laggy, notification pull down still laggy, though battery seems strong now and overheating is over with.... i thought they got over this lag, in 4.4.4, but for mine still seems to be here.. makes me miss 4.3 that so much...
4.4.2 was so bad, I had went back to 4.3.... Upgraded to 4.4.4 and its great.... no issues... battery life is about the same as 4.3... its smoother than 4.3, and phone temp range is about the same as 4.3.... overall its pretty good
xperia zL
Hi guys,could anyone tell me if im going to update my xperia zL to the latest version of android 4.4.4 kitkat, would be the root access of my phone will be gone? Please help, i cant decide if i should update it or not. Thanks!
my software download was interrupted at 21% progress. had to resume later on.. could this be the reason why my firmware seems to botched and laggy? Do i need to download from start to finish without interruption to ensure a smooth installation?

Yes you will lose root. Maybe if you OTA from 4.4.2 rooted it will remain, but I'm not sure.
But it doesn't matter, because you can easily re-root 4.4.4 by flasing 4.4.2 kernel and rooting, then going back to 4.4.4 kernel .
Yeah I found pictures has more noises at 4.4.4
But without battery drain & high temperature it still worth updated

well worth it...
I updated from 4.4.2 and was using wake lock killer to protect the battery.
After the normal update and playing on Saturday...
Well unpluged at 10:00 AM today (Sunday) and at 10:30 PM I still have 47%, with lots of web browsing, on and off the wifi etc.
I have not really looked into the camera, but for me OK is good enough, so I expect to stay here untill we get a "L" update ... CM 12 maybe...
Hi everybody,
i am on [ROM] [4.4.4] ParanoidAndroid 4+ right now (rooted/unlocked Bootlaoder) and due to some bugs i want to try the .283 stock. Do i have to do anything else than flashing the new software via flashtool, e.g. wipe something? Never went back to a stock rom with my ZL...
Greetz
4.4.2 is bad and not smooth.
4.4.4 is awesome and really smooth.
Worth updates.

Didn't lose root on the OTA.
i personally prefer 4.3. the 4.4 notification/quick settings drop down menu design just doesn't do it for me.

I agree. I cant See any, I say again, any improovment in 4.4. In 4.3 the menu design was far more better. All phone are smoothly in 4.3.
Even the keyboard on 4.4 lags.
I made an upgrade directly from 4.3 to 4.4 and lags. I did a factory reset and lag is continually. Simply like keyboard lags a lot and irritating...
Now I have to search on the forum how to back to 4.3. Anyone can put a link to it?
