Hello to all the genious I'm a new member.
I've bought a XPERIA Arc S on the 19th March which is upgradable by default to Android 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I use over 70 apps on my phone in Android 2.3.4 and it gets a bit frozen when i close any application in 2.3.4. Now the matter is i want to upgrade it using Sony Ericsson PC companion. My questions are:
1. Will this perform slower than now if i install Android 4?
2. Will the version 4.0.2.A.0.62 have all the features active if i upgrade via PC Companion?
3. Should i face any problem when installing android 4?
4. Will the "freezing" problem gets solved in the Android 4?
Thanks in advance

What I've observed is you use a lot of apps and that's the reason your phone appears slow.To overcome this problem, I suggest you to use SuperChargerV6.It can make your phone fast.
And about the features, the .42 Rom and .62 Rom hardly have any difference, except that .62 can't be rooted directly(for now).
And unless your bootloader is unlocked, you must have no problems while installing android 4.

I used to use a lot off apps as well. I just reseted my phone and now it is so fast. I just advised you to do the same.
Hey guys! First off i just wanted to say hi to my fellow nexus owners. I just got mine today and i can't wait to start using it. Here's the problem. When i bought the Nexus the previous owner upgraded it to 4.1.2 since it was rooted. The issue with what he did is that there is no google account on my phone. This means no google play, gmail, google waller etc. To make it worse i went to the rooting app (super Use I think?) and clicked unroot. I thought it would unroot my phone and all the google related apps would come back. They didn't and i deleted the rooting app I am now stuck with a rooted phone with no rooting app and i can't get any apps including marketplace. I know i'm supposed to flash a rom that will have google but the problem is that all the tutorials ask to make sure you have one of the 10 - 15 build numbers and phone models the phones come with. But my phone doesn't have them because it was rooted. What do i do?

do you have any basic flashing skills? and which carrier?
I have the basic skills. I've did it on my old galaxy ace. But when i did it everything was on the factory defaults. I'm worried i might mess up because he already rooted and flashed a rom on the phone. I just need some instructions on what i should do first. I was thinking i should re-root my phone and then just apply another, more reliable rom. Maybe the 4.1.1. Another problem is that on the tool kit there is no option for 4.1.2 and the weird build number i have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Just return the device to factory settings by flashing the Google images. I'd never trust the firmware that someone else put on a phone.

to see if you are unlocked go to the dialer and press *#*#7378423#*#*
go to service info>configuration and allmost in the botom line will say : bootloader unlock allowed - yes or no or it will say bootloader unlocked-yes check what it says and reply...
just to inform you its a little bit risky to unlock your phone - install custom roms ecpecially if you dont know much about it

If you want a stable rom with all Xperia's features, I suggest you to use only Stock Based Rom ( like XZX ) IMHO
i thinks its better for you to stay locked and install stock based rom.
jellybean update is really near .
Hello everyone ,
I am a new member of xda , I greet all as one thing, you're number 1 : D
I have a problem with my N7100 Italian .
I recently updated the official rom via ota 4.3 but since the poor performance I decided to flash it with a new rom .
As a beginner I have read a bit of documentation and I realized that before messing around : D you need to install a recovery other than the official , also to be able to flash the new rom without using odin ( already here if I'm wrong let me know : | )
How to build version I JSS15J.N7100XXUEMK9 with Android 4.3
The problem is that , despite trying different recovery through odin the result is the same, odin says that the upload is correct and is successful in practice but when I enter again in recovery mode I always get the recovery standard( version 3e) loaded on board ....
where am I doing wrong ? To read all the posts seems like a no-brainer, just to me does not work? - . -
Thanks for everything in advance, definitely give me some tips about !
: D
You have installed the official rom with Knox feature.
It's impossible to downgrade.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531363
As you may know, KitKat has been released by samsung to the Sm-T210 / R devices. This update includes a new bootloader. This bootloader is VERY important to have when using a 4.4.X based ROM. It fixes offline charging and fixes a GUI bug in custom recoveries. In this thread I will teach you how to flash this Firmware to your device, and gain root access! I take no responsibility for any damages that may occur during or after the installation. Just follow the steps carefully and you should be fine.
Pre-update instructions 1
take note of your devices model number, this can be found in settings>> About device>> Model Number.
(If you are running a custom ROM your model number may not be correct. If this is the case, look on the right edge of the device, if you see a black square your model number is SM-T210R, if you do not have the square you have the SM-T210.)
NOTE: Make sure you have your tabs USB drivers installed to your computer. Download here http://www.mediafire.com/?jotj0yjj4st761t
Pre-update instructions 2
download Odin version 3.0.9 to your computer. Here is a link to Odin3.0.9 http://www.devfiles.co/download/CAHmXM6c/Odin_v3.09.zip
Pre-update instructions 3
Make a free account at http://www.sammobile.com/forum/register.php THIS STEP IS REQUIRED if you have the SM-T210R! Without an account you cant download the firmware file. Skip this step. No longer required as i changed the link.
Step 1
Download the firmware file for your specific model number.
SM-T210 firmware http://rapidgator.net/file/8c97131ca007ebcc7b57960b3c45b316
SM-T210R firmware http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.../Firmware/T210RUEU0CNI1_T210RXAC0CNI1_XAC.zip
Step 2
now that you have downloaded your devices firmware and Odin, go ahead and launch odin. Now we will put your tab into update mode. You can do this by turning off your tab, then hold Power+VOL down+home when you see the words Samsung galaxy tab 3 release power BUT STILL HOLD VOLUME DOWN AND HOME! You will see a screen that says something like "Warning! Installing a custom OS may blah blah blah" just go ahead and click the volume up button.
Step 3
Now plug your device into your computer via usb cable and set your tab where it will not be disturbed. Now in odin click AP then find the update file you downloaded. This file will end in .tar.md5. Click the file and click open.
Step 4
Now that you have your device connected to your computer and the update file selected in odin, make sure re-partition is not checked and go ahead and click start. Please be patient, as this update may take a little wile to install. Once its done, it should say "PASS!"
Your device is now running android 4.4.2. If you would like to gain Root access,or install custom roms, continue to step 5!
Step 5
If you are reading this that means you want to use custom ROMs, or gain root access.. Now download this file to your computer. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096069127
Step 6
Click AP in Odin and find the file you just downloaded, click open make sure re-partition is NOT checked and click start.
Step 7
After you see Pass! Unplug your tab and boot into recovery with the three button combo. From there you can flash custom roms!
NOTE: if you would like to Root your tab, complete all steps above and continue reading!!
Step 8
Download this file and put it on your SD card, http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1
Step 9
Boot into recovery and click install zip>> click first option>> then find the file you downloaded. Once the file is found, click on it, press install.
Step 10
Wait untill it finishes and reboot your tablet. You now have SuperSu and root access!

I recommend installing NoleKat. It is a kitkat 4.4.2 rom that is fast, debloated, and feature packed!
