Sony Ericsson arc s issues with the 4.0.4 upgrade - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

After upgrading my se to ics the phone dialler application took a when to load like 5sec which is irritating as well as the phone heating up when on 3g. It also tells me that. I got insufficient memory when updating apps though I still got 60mbs free Internal memory. Anybody experienced this and what's the recommended solutions..

You're in wrong Forum. This Xperia S forum - you should be in Xperia Arc/Arc S.

Wrong section....
This is the Xperia S forum not the Xperia Arc (S) forum.

[Q] x10 market / downloads

Hello ,I noticed that the market showed only the games which could be compatible with my x10, but since the update, a good many of them became it without that the market (certainly because of the publishers(editors)) take care of them.
My question is simple, how is that my market shows all the apps, compatible or not with my x10
----------------------------
I noticed that sometimes, in the link to download a file (some platforms as megaupluoad), my phone downloaded only a html file which leads towards the link of download. How to solve this problem??
sorry for my english (i prefer french, unfortunatly, there is not good french android's forum), and thanks for all
uup
please some help !!!
up ...........
First off, what are you running on your phone at the moment? A ROM or Sony Ericsson firmware? Second just post once and someone will eventually help you. Once you tell me what your running on your phone, I might be able to figure out the problem or someone else will.

You know that 2.1 is very outdated firmware? The software is mostly on 2.2 I think. So I am guessing more and more apps being made on the later softwares. Please correct me other xda members if I am wrong.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I won't say 2.1 is that outdated, the only thing I can't install with that is flash, Im using the EWJet ROM that uses 2.1 and its quite fast.
I use 2.1 ROMS like the one in my Sig for the camera. That's the only reason.

[Q] Xperia Sola and all of 2012 xperia's low ram problem

Anyone noticed that our devices give only on avg 140 mb of free ram even on cm it gives 190 mb
while on samsung devices i have noticed thy give 280mb of ram even on the official blotware version
and also on my xperia play on cm 9 i get 240 mb of free ram but on sola it hardly surpasses 190 mb ?? using ram booster
My tipo gives more than 200 mb free ram
Sent from my ST25i using Tapatalk 2
Hmm, I'm also wondering what's hogging the ram.
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
As far as I know 124mb are allocated to the gpu, so the "visible" ram is 388mb. The ram for the gpu gives more performance in gaming.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
And the problem is?
I got no problem with 140–160 mb on my Xperia S. I can only feel it getting slow when it install a update for an app. Else it can run 20+ apps at the same time.

RAM is a resource that should be used. The more free RAM, less of it is actually being used. If the system needs memory it will get it by freeing RAM from background process. Cmom we have ICS, don't tell me you still free RAM with killers. Let the system worry about memory.

But from my experience if you open ram hungry apps it slow downs due to less free ram.
All will be affected like slow opening time, lagging, more time to open web pages in browser etc etc.

The problem is the crap peformance of some Sony ICS phones. Did you know that some mobile networks have *refused* to offer the Sony ICS update to their customers because 'the performance is so bad'? If you Google it, you'll find it, I know the Spanish-owned network O2 (Telefonica) is one network that decided this. That would be the problem.

I don't know a lot about this, but I believe this is true. I read a Google Android employee say this. However, when I contacted Sony about my Sola being slow, they told me it's probably too little free RAM and that I should consider a task manager. Imagine!
I also think its crappy performance with 512mb ram Xperia devices. Its really funny to get lags and extreme slowness even in phone dialer, or when u get a call while using some app..
In my case I can't imagine using Sola without 2 task killer apps, one is Go task manager for it's "Advanced Killer" feature, and the other is Ram Booster for it's overlay small widget that appears on all apps + games.
And I also get my Sola slow as hell after sometime using Browser or Chrome..really disappointing...
To say the least.. I didn't feel that I'm using a fast reliable device, and I'm sure it's a Sony or ICS thing coz I've used other devices from other brands that was really much faster even with the same 512mb ram like iPhone 4...no compare..
So to be able to use Sola flawlessly with multitasking u have to:
1-restart ur phone dialy or every couple of days!
2-don't use 99% of widgets!
3-use task killers!
4-don't even think of using Live wallpapers!

SuperCharging will help a little.
Search it here on xda. SuperCharger.
It helped me a lot but funny thing is that i still have problems with calling or answering a call! It's shameful for a company like sony!
Xperia Sola sucks! Don't buy it.
Sorry for my weakness on English!

I just tried CyanogenMod9 on the Sola (I've tried other ROMS) and the CM is unbelievably fast...I almost thought it was impossible that Sola could run this fast. This makes it totally clear to me that it is the stock Sony apps, UI etc. that absorbs so much RAM. However, I really don't like stock Google Android stuff, I think the audio is too nerdy and boring, the apps ugly and not so intuitive. If you have a sharp eye for detail and appreciate elegance, I have to say the Sony ROM is the ROM to use. The latest Sony ICS update .54 is much faster than previously. :fingers-crossed:
I've never used CM9, maybe I will when I have free time.
Agree about .54 , its kinda faster, but not for long..as you still have to reboot every couple of days, and phone still struggling while surfing the internet with stock browser or chrome.
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
I don't have to reboot my sola unless I need to flash something or something I installed needs a reboot, like my ringtones I put into system\media folder. It runs fast and I have had no problems with it except few minutes ago when my power button didn't work but I think that has to do with my case as it worked when I rubbed the button.

Memory problems with paranoid Android 3.99

Hi, me again...
Well after I managed to flash paranoid Android and run it without lag I were happy for some time... but know I noticed that my phone has some serious problems with it's memory used. It even closes my keyboard while writing a message.
After reboot the memory usage is normal again for some time, but it'll start again after some hours.
Hope somebody has a solution or an advice for me?

Alright was able to fix this problem with 2 steps, I don't know if one of them would be enough, didn't test them solo...
First I installed a flashable zip found on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360985
Btw, it works more fluently now than ever, great work :thumbup:
Second step is an app of play store, guess it's also an app from a xda developer called Android tuner .
I activated most of the 1 klick system tweaks and since that I never had problems again with memory leaks.
If I think about it closer, this thread should be moved to general forum and out of sgs2. Would appreciate it if someone could move it.
Thx though

Video playback problems on Facebook

Does anyone have this issue? I'm on a stock ROM, rooted with some Xposed modules.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z2.
Yeah I also get this error all the time. Really annoying and i don't know what causes it. I'm on stock ROM, not rooted.
Have it also..
Videos play on wifi but not when connected to mobile network, seems like its blocked..
I am also having this problem as we have heard several people complaining too, but so far not found a solution.
Please help those who can!
I've had this problem on wifi when noticed. I've read that if you uninstall the Xperia for Facebook account it solves it.

Well the problem would be solved the easiest by updating the Facebook app to accommodate the "faulty" ROM. This is why I'm sure the app is at fault because essentially it will be getting update to address this issue

[Q] Is using bittorrent on my Z2 harmful?

Hi
I've been using bit torrent to download albums and paste them in to my Walkman player.
I do know that using p2p softwares can be harmful. However I scan my phone using the clean master app from the play store and the results are always "no harm found"
But for a strange reason my phone suddenly won't send or receive texts or calls. I have written another post asking for people help on that.
My question is could it be because of bit torrent and clean master can't detect it.
It is a coincidence that my phone stopped working properly after a few days of using bit torrent l. ( I have around 4gb of music on my phone that I've downloaded from bit torrent)
Thank you...

There is no such thing as viruses on android, 99% of anti~virus and security crap is usualy a placebo
Bittorrent is official bittorent so its safe
And the Z2 FW is a bit buggy, stuff can stop working so try factory resetting

Understood. I just reset my phone by using."back up and reset" in the settings menu. Nothing changed. As I have just read what you said I'm going to look into using Sony PC companion.
P.S is flashtool and Sony PC companion legit. Meaning will they mess up my phone or my computer with malware?
What's the easier and safest tool to use?
Thanks..
Haroon
Sony PC companion is official, it will download firmware through the app and install it to your phone. Flashtool isn't official but is trusted - although you do need to source and download the relevant firmware yourself to flash to the device (making it more difficult and maybe less secure than the official Sony software.)
Neither will install malware on your phone (just don't download it from a dodgy website).

Well just a side note, quite a few of the issues with the Z2 are caused by google because 4.4.2 isnt the most stable android release ever and neither it being bugless
Alot of wifi,data and system stability issues are caused by 4.4.2 android not sonys rendition (of course sony tried patching)

Yeah 4.4.2 is pretty bad. Google should make a new update!
One of the worst thing of the 4.4.2 update is definitely the fact you cant move your apps to your SD card, unless you flash your phone. Ive tried apps like app2sd and it wont work on 4.4.2. Its so limited in how you can spread and balance your data. I have a 128gb SD card and have trouble copying my music and videos from the phone to the SD card all the time.
Damn GOOGLE
