Official update to 4.0.4 for xperia ray (and others) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi guys,
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/products/2012/05/25/update-on-ice-cream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/ here is info about update to ICS 4.0.4 for ray (and other xperias). As we remember, 4.0.3 has came with lot of problems (laggs, jerking video recording, low performence in games, battery drain). I suggest to type here what has changed in new OFFICIAL rom for xperia ray (mainly if bugs are solved).
Thx in advance

thanks for news and i hope this update be better ^^

i hope it will enable auto brightness, add status bar widgets and lockscreen notifications ...and solve bugs reported

You will not see the information on your phone. You have to use PC Companion or Bridge (for mac).

But an updates note? i've installed this firmware on my ray, but i don't know what changes to 4.0.3

I updated yesterday but didn't notice much difference. I have to admit, I didn't check video recording (I hardly use it) nor 3D gaming performance.
As a few others have pointed out, the notification LED didnt appear to work after receiving an SMS or email unless you woke up the screen.

I understand, you have official 4.0.4. Can you tell what about:
- recording video in hd (what about jerking)
- games performance
- laggs
- battery consumption
comparing to gingerbread?

ok, i have found the answer by myself on sony blog. Here it is:
4.0.4 update on Xray
Pros:
*ram usage is better.UI is much more smoother.no lagging at all.
*game performanse is better.(and when exiting the game home screen opens directly.no lagging here too)
Cons:
*Calendar widget is still not showing the next event (so What's the use of this widget?)
*Video recording still lags (playback still lags)
*Dialpad is still taking 2-3 seconds to start at first try to open.
*NO notification LIGHT when you recieve a message when screen is off.
I'm still waiting for another update. Good thing is that between first and second update to ICS it was a short time.

[Q] My Neo V automatically lights up after each 2-3 seconds

I have Sony Xperia Neo V. The Problem Is Weird.
I have updated it to the official beta version of ICS (4.0.3).
Now days automatically lights up on its own after each interval of 2-3 seconds.
So it eats up a lot of standby battery.
What should I do?

I have already updated it to ICS 4.0.3. It worked fine for me. Just facing this kind of problem from past few days.
I had the same problem with GB, and it happened when a installed an app that was working in background (i Guess)... i uninstalled it, and the problem is gone.. Unistall the latest app that you installed and tell us
That also happens to my brothers galaxy s2 on ICS so its not isolated to sony.

I have only known apps installed, from reputed distributors. And these are those apps that i also had on GB.
But Thanks for advice. Will see any suspicious app and remove it. 'll inform you guys.
[EDIT] Problem resides. i have uninstalled all my apps.

[Q] LWW ICS 4.0.4 Lag Video Capture

Hi Guys,
Anyone notice the lag when capturing video? I am running on ICS 4.0.4. Any idea how this can be fixed?
Yes, little lag on recording. And i have no idea of how to fix it.

Right, I did not have this on GingerBread 2.3.4 though so there must be a way to fix it. Hope someone can help us out.
Maybe a camera libs tweak?

This could be helpful a bit but there has been no lags like this on GB even the stabilizer is enabled, yeah?
Sony would be working on bug fixes Arc S, Ray and Neo V got 4.0.3 but we got 4.0.4 coz more bugs were fixed. So wait for future updates. Sony still has not released 4.0.4 for Mini and Active So after this rollout ends, they sure will work on bugs The kernel isn't changed now. we are still using the same kernel. While the Xperia S leaked screenshots show that it has a newer kernel. So we will get the kernel upgrade as well i guess

Well, I am hoping for this too.

4.1.b.0.587 bugs

1-When u set pattern or PIN lock then sometimes slide to unlock appears automatically before that (some users)
2- whenever u restart ur phone then disabled apps automatically gets enabled(some users)
3- if u set only 3g or 2g network then after reboot dual mode gets selected automatically
4- camera still lags :-/
5-battery drains faster dan b4
6-led for sms not fixed
7-FB Music like giving time out error
First I thought its happening only with me but after searching I found that these problems are actually BUGS and almost every1 who updated to new firmware are facing this problems(problems can vary with users).
so IMO dont update ur phone with this update it sux.
thanks
Thanks for the info.
I was about to update but i'll wait for a better update that fixes all the bugs

1. Tested that, It still works like the previous updates. And based on your 'sentence' that doesn't happen to me.
2. Tested that, disabled apps from performance assistant/freezed apps from titanium still are disabled after many reboots so I'm not sure what you are whining about.
4. Doesn't lag for me, if not smoother it's the same as before.
6. Confirmed already it doesn't work.

'Disabling' apps from settings? You mean stopping the apps from the settings? You're not supposed to do that on Android. Yes stock 587 rooted.

6-install from play store an application called smsawake , it makes your led notification work when you receive sms
7-its the application problem , look at all the reviews for FB application at the play store .. they all rate it 1 stars , 2 stars

Yes, i agree with you, Sony take 3 ICS update and the main important problem SMS LED still not fix. I can't belive that, what they're doing. SONY even not as good as SONY ERICSSON. We can see SE with GB rom is smooth and no bugs, but what we have after Sony with ICS rom.
is the thumbnail corruption bug fixed? (setting camera to 5mp corrupts thumbnails on pc and in quickpic)

It doesn't work for Whatsapp for esample ^^ And I think that this is a very stupid problem, and Sony could fix that, why do they waste money for a bugged ROM? I can understand the first ICS, but this 587..
Sms LED notification, is working for me, it always has.... lol. Im not facing any of the above problems, phone is so smooth dialer etc even when i set cpu on 806mhz.
Guys is there no face detection in stock camera app in ICS?

[REQ] Toggle forXGO

Can anyone provide a sytem toggle for XGO with stock GB? Almost all toggle mods here are for ICS. TIA!
I dont think anyone's make a mod for it so far but, there is an app in Play Store for this
Notification Toggles
Cheers & Merry Christmas
Already tried it, thanks though. Yeah I tried almost all mods here but not working with GB. Hope someone could make a mod for it. I need to stay to GB until JB official release.
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to stay stock GB so bad ?
GB Cam and ICS Cam has a very big difference that's why.
And GB is better ? ;O
In the last ICS update camera should be fixed but I still haven't got the update so who knows. Honestly Sony made GB for Xperia so good you hardly notice the difference when on ICS.

Check out C.1.0 No bugs at all and works like a charm You will be happy with it
Well on my phone the camera is seriously slower now on ICS, that's why I am hoping the update will solve the lag while taking a photo.

Upload your SystemUi.apk i'll take a look to see how different it is from ICS and see if I can do anything.

You can try Setting Extended. It is so beautiful.
And a new ICS version released. 6.1.1.b.1.54.
After this update you can also try Munjeni's V14 rom. It's so fast. Processor overclocked to 1.5 Ghz. Memory tweaks and much more.
