Hello, there is a problem with Xperia S (some models have it, other doesn't). My Xperia lags when is in horizontal mode (for example in Settings), i feel fps drops much, same problem is with HDMI. This problem is on every rom i used. I can't try to flash other kernels, because of "Unlock bootloader available: No"
Is there any way to resolve that lag problem, with just root and some tweaks?
i've posted the same question not long ago, and theres absolutely no way to fix this without changing kernel thus having to unlock bootloader is the only way to go...
Same here, any way to fix?

This is my first post to this awesome forum. I own a Xperia Arc S since Christmas. While I like this phone a lot, I still have some issues. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device for trying different custom roms.
While I am an experienced linux user, I have yet only little experience in android.
I tried the obvious roms, cm 7, miui, doom, even the cm9 alpha. While I like the ui much, I got this very annoying touchscreen issue, where you can't use the lower section (around 3-5 mm) when the device is rotated by 270 degree. Is there a fix for this or a miui kernel that resolves this issue? What exactly is causing the problem, kernel or system files?
With all roms I tested, I got a WLAN bug, when downloading large files (e.g. Gameloft content) the connection breaks and it takes a moment until the WLAN connection is etablished again. My WLAN works flawlessy with my other devices. I tried different baseband versions but this does not seem to make any difference. What is causing this and how can I solve it?
I am mainly looking for a stable ROM, is there anything you can recommend? Is there a comparison of the custom ROMs?
Hello all!
Usually I strut about the Android Development forum only, but I've a question for you Arc (S) owners.
I own an Arc S, and I'm quite ok with it. One thing is bugging me though, and I want to know how you are doing with it to know if it's supposed to be like this or not.
Whenever I run a game such as Corby (great game, bought full content and also worked normally on my old HTC Desire), it goes crazy after a couple of minutes of playing. This happened on stock Gingerbread, stock ICS (though even quicker) and all custom ROMs I tried.
Going crazy here means: not accurately registering touch at all, or not at all, or at random, on and off. The game keeps on running, but the touch input is ignored at most, severed at best.
As Corby has a couple of levels to try for free, and as it's fun enough to play for say 15-30 minutes, I was wondering:
Could any of you perhaps install and play it and let me know how/if it works for you, and what setup you have? With setup I mean:
Phone: Arc / Arc S
ROM: Stock ICS/Stock Gingerbread/Custom, being...
Kernel: Stock ICS/Stock Gingerbread/Custom, being ... with ... governor and ... IO, on clock speeds ... to ...
Game: HD graphics/low graphics (switchable in game settings)
I want to know because if it does run properly for any of you, I'm going to return my phone and get another one back as it's still under warranty for me, though I won't bother the hassle if you all have the issue.
I'd really, really appreciate your help!
Oh, and here's a link to Cordy in Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silvertree.cordy&hl=nl
Arc, Stock rom (v6 supercharged) & stock kernel (1ghz, deadline), HD graphics - i've played the game for about 10 minutes and i had no problems.
Just do full wipe and reinstall rom with pc companion, changing phone is a bad idea
Questions go in the Q&A section
Works fine, no lag, no errors.
Even with 1 Ghz. Settings: HD, smartassv2, sio

Changing as in replacing my possibly faulty Arc S with a normally working Arc S, a bad idea?
PS: Stock as in Gingerbread or ICS?
Believe me your Arc is not damaged ;p. I'm on gingerbread, on ICS i've got too many performance issues like yours here.
If you mean bugs like holding a button that I am not anymore holding, I have them as well in many games. It's almost like the game freezes, but without the graphics and sound freezing - no input is being registered for a few seconds, but game is "running" normally.
I explained this to myself by assuming it's when the phone runs out of RAM, but not sure..
mando: problem is, I have had it on gingerbread to, both Stock and Arconium...
matus: that's exactly what's happening, although, if my knowledge on Android's memory management is correct, that can't be the cause. If anything the entire game should close, not just the input. Also while you say for a few seconds, with my Arc S it's more: once it's gone it stays gone. Doesn't come back until reboot, and not for long either.
Anyone else got issues like this?
Hello everyone!
I've been busy lately flashing different roms to my t989, trying to solve the problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161262.
I've tried some of the newest roms and kernels (All-star 4.2, CM10, 10.1, AOKP) but the issue is still there. The attached APK on that thread does not work And I have no idea how to do the kernel modification ;(
Anything that can be done to solve it? The touchscreen sensitivy option is grayed out on the roms I've tried so far. It's annoying on games like Modern Combat, or TeamViewer (mouse is jumpy). Or do I have to modify an existing kernel? :crying:
Thanks!
I have just noticed this problem.. no wonder the touchscreen sometimes jumps in Dead Trigger
Thank you for bringing this up, hopefully the kernel devs will take a look at this and probably fix this
It could be a slider or something like that :laugh:
I just noticed that, I was noticing lag, mainly in the youtube application when i'm scrolling, thought it was my rom or phone. I notice it as well with the ripple lock option in embryo 6.
A while back installed the lupus kernel and android 4.Whatever on my xperia play.
I wasn't exactly happy with a lot of things but at least it worked.
Just now without any reason it started showing mad artifacting and while booting up there is rainbow colored tv static. i can barely make out anything and crashes are everywhere. Especially the developer settings menu.
could this have to do with the lupus kernel and the 4.?? Android version i have, or is this a hardware problem?
All the information is in the only thread i ever made. Since my pc is broken and im posting from my psvita i cant copy the url here.
If you search my username itll pop up.
I can enter the recovery menu but i don't remember if i have a backup on it.
I'D like to reinstall the original android 2.1 or whatever i had, if that helps anyway, but i need someone to help me through the steps.

First of all what do you mean by android 4? please be more specific are you meaning to say the advanced ftf? and from the sound of your issue if at first when still entering CWM or initial boot you are having the screen problem i can confidently say that is a hardware problem however if not the best way to solve this is flashing the original ftf for xperia play search in google i assure you can find it, and you can start from there you will need to have that pc fixed before anything else though

after you posted i got kind of sad and i said to my bro: i dont want my phone to die ;_; and i hugged it close to my face. then when i looked at it later the screen was back to normal! if you want to know my reaction type in will smith video games on youtube. the moment he enters the room.
Anyways i then realized i might have hugged something back in place and started messing with the slide system for the playstation buttons. artifacts started appearing and disapearing again in reaction. So thats where the problem originated from. its now 12 hours later and its still working. So all in all you were right about it being a hardware problem. :silly:
Still i am going to reinstall the original os. If i google ftf for xperia play will i be able to find instructions on it to do the whole process?

I've now spent more than 6 hours on and off trying to research this **** again and i'm about done.
I don't know how i did it but i now have the turbo kernel and pacman rom installed. thank you very much for posting the link. i was messing around with stupid **** on google before that and couldn't get it working. my phone is much faster already.
I think you enabled show screen updates in the developer menu haha

hah No, but i did try that once. a whole different type of flickering.
I have tried the new turbo kernel and pacman rom. normal stuff is a lot quicker, but playing epsxe is actually slower than on lupus ics beta and uh...the rom had before. forgot which one.
most important, my hardware keys arent working anymore. they just don't do anything. do i need to flash an extra plugin to get it working?
*edit*
im an idiot. pacman doesn't say it supports game keys. i just assumed so.
and i just found out that for best performance i'd want lupus gb kernel. from this i can conclude that the thing that was making my first flash slow was the rom and not the kernel.
what would be the fastest rom with camera, gamepad and standard functionality? and is there any difference between 480p and 720p? besides from the difference in quality?

480p doesn't take full screen videos you'll see black lines on the sides but its good enough and gives you more ram

why dont you try to test the roms on my signatures, these are my daily driver roms, if you want more ram but less video quality use 480p if you want better video recording but sacrificing a little bit of ram go with 720p, we really couldnt say which is the best rom because usually once you start flashing rom you would notice there are things that you want thats not in the rom and there are also things that you need that that is in the rom.

actually my plan was to use the lupus v9 kernel and auroraplay rom. after i flashed lupus using flashtool it just did nothng at the lupus logo. even when mashing back or volume down. then i tried flashing the rom to see if that did anything but nothing.
so i flashed back turbo and pacman which is actually really nice. but still slower in games than what i had and the gamepad isnt working. i don't get what i'm doing wrong. flashing it is all i need to do right? i did lupus before so i dont get why its not working.
I have a Z1 Compact and if I change my lockscreen from xperia's native to AOSP or AcDisplay, as soon as I unlock the screen, screen tearing happens. (Vsync Disabled Effects). Like pulling the status bar down tears etc..
I tried to record this issue but I've observed that if there's a stress in the cpu/gpu the stutter/tearing goes away.
Specs:
Z1 Compact 4.4.4 (108)/ Deodex'd.
Z3 SystemUI & Home.
PS: I've tested this issue even with 4.4.4 base system apps/ui. Still the same issue, I wonder if it has anything to do with Sony's CPU Governor?
Quite amazed that it's just me having this issue.
Hey,
I know this was a while ago but did you ever find anything out on this?
I have had a display issue, and this is one of the few threads that sounds even remotely similar.
