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.
Hi, I'm sure some of you have heard about the battery stamina feature available in recent xperia devices. Is there such an app for download or can it be ported to other xperia devices?
Any help would be appreciated

These phones, that will have it, aren't available yet, if I am not mistaken.
Hi,

Hope it gets released soon, n the awesome devs over here get it ported... looks like a really helpful functionality

And there is my request for ion users, I'm searching for ROM but i want to save jellybean UI (sony make it is best i've ever seen <3)

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
Q&A for [ROM] [4.4.4] ParanoidAndroid 4+
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
beta 4 generally works fine but I have 2 issues:
-I constantly get a message that a number which I was calling is back accessible (normally I get only one, but that might be my provider's fault).
-I have an impression that battery drain is significantly higher than in beta 3, both with DSB disabled and enabled.
Am I the only one?
All in all, it might be just my imagination but I'm sure about is that this ROM is absolutely great.
Thanks, SuperHanss! (and, of course, PA team)

Also, SuperHanss, is there a chance that you will keep supporting Odin on Android L? I would be so happy if you would.
Sorry for the OT and thanks in advance!

I've never come across the first issue so it could well be provider related.
There are many varying factors when it comes to battery life. This might provide more information on what's causing it:

Android L is a maybe. There's no way of knowing if/how well it will run until the source is released. I don't see why not though, the Z and ZL aren't exactly ageing devices.

Happened to me aswell, device kept rebooting but was able to rollback to 3.4.0-cm-gfaa1635 trough recovery, there must be something else in your phone.

Just asking, is the hdr really not working because i dont see any hdr modes for pa 4.6 beta5
Performance
Hi Guys and SuperHanss,
may sound like a dumb question but I'm pondering on buying a Samung Galaxy S4 or S5 because I really like their performance and "snappiness" (apps open right away when you click them).
At the moment I own a Sony Xperia ZL and generally I'm relatively content with it but it lacks the "snappiness" of the smartphones mentioned above. It needs noticeable 1-3 secs to open apps after clicking them.
It just feels as if the performance of the ZL is not good enough, but based on the specs I would say it's a good device.
So is the performance of the ParanoidAndroid Rom for the ZL better?
I just want to know before flashing, because otherwise I will sell my phone und buy a Samsung one.
Can anyone (maybe even someone with a Samsung S4 or S5) share his/her experiences with me?
With the ParanoidAndroid Rom installed on my Xperia ZL will it have a performance (and stability) similar or near to the Samsung S4 or S5?
I appreciate all answers
Cant use mobile data 3g
my device can use 3g in sometimes it can use 5-10secs then it off 5-10secs and on again , how to fix this tell me pls:'(
Cant use mobile data, too
After the last Paranoid OTA Update:
I also got the problem with mobile data.
From time to time it's there for 1 second or 2, then it just goes away.
I already tried setting the APN and Provider, but it didn't work at all...
Please help!
ZR
plz make this for Xperia Zr..........
still has support?
do we get updates? or nightlies? been trying this for 3 days no updates or nightlies in my updater
Can you do anything about battery drain when signal is poor? It is always higher, but on stock it was bearable and on PA it's sometimes like 20-30% per hour, even when I'm not doing anything.
Also (not fully PA related), refering to your post in Yuga thread I assume Lollipop AOSP build will be skipped and you will release only PA build (hopefully for ZL too!)?
Thanks
P.S. @marc2777
There are no nightlies for PA, releases are usually weekly but they're not assured. Latest update for legacy devices was a few weeks ago, because whole team is working on Lollipop
battery life, high temperature.
Someone is having problems with battery life using Paranoid Android 4.6 beta5 on Xperia ZL ??
I did a fresh install of the latest version and am having problems with battery and temperature, the phone gets very hot even when I'm doing basic things like web browsing and using whatsapp.
I searched the PA topic for a similar case but not found anything, anyone have any idea what it might be?
when I talk of bad battery life, say something around 8 hours with 2 hours screen on with the auto brightness, 3G (lte off), GPS off, and regular use (email, whatsapp, web browsing, facebook)
Battery drain and mobile data issue
As I mentioned before I don't get any stable signal on mobile data.
From my experience this might connected to the battery drain issue. As I disabled mobile data and used WIFI instead (because let's be honest -- unstable mobile data is the worst thing ever), my battery drain was decreased by magnitudes.
Furthermore my ZL didn't get hot anymore.
We are talking about charging my smartphone twice a day before and charging it every two days after.
