Effect on floating touch from root. - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey folks,
I am quite new to android so I don't know much.
I am really annoyed by the slow speed of Sony in updating the phones to ICS.. So, I am planning to root my Xperia Sola.
I was wondering, will I lose floating touch after root? It's really helpful in browsing and is fun too..
Also, can anyone post a link to a complete rooting guide for Sola? I'd really appreciate..
Thanks..

No you won't lose Floating touch...!!!
But if I were you, I'd wait till ICS, since Sony France tweeted that ICS for sola is just around weeks( I am guessing it should be here till mid sept...just my Speculation..)
and there may be methods in ICS by which sola could be rooted without unlocking the booltloader.

Thanks man. If there's a possibility to root without unlocking the bootloader then I'm gonna wait.. Actually, if I get ICS, I'm gonna wait till my warranty actually ends..
It's too annoying to be stuck on GB when everyone is getting ready for Jelly Bean..

The only available Q&A section is for Xperia S, specifically the section your link leads to.
Secondly, there still isn't any root possible without bootloader being unlocked for Xperia Sola yet.
There's no place else to ask a question specific to this device other than here, despite it clearly being the wrong section...
Hope a proper Q&A + general talk combined section could be made for each specific model rather than lump all models in the same General Discussion section with Q&A for only one phone model in this series.
Well then again, this is the wrong place to make suggestions. lol.

Xperia S Q&A
For all of your questions relating to the Sony Xperia S, Sola, U, P
As per rooting,I didn't see unlocked bootloader,my mistake.

It was never said that it is currently possible to root without unlocking the bootloader.. It was only said that it might become possible in ICS.. The question is, what are the chances of this being true..

Your backseat modding is starting to get annoying..
If real mods are OK you do this, please let the other users know. OR, ask to become a mod for the Ray forum

And you are?
Let other users know what? I am just following the rules of the forums that you agree to when you register and trying to help keep the ray forum from getting cluttered, just because no one else does anything about it.
There is a Rules post, and a questions post it is very simple yet people do not read and understand
Don't really see what your problem is or how it effects you ?

I'm letting chiefy009 help out by creating the questions thread since the XDA administration's decided to leave out a Q&A forum for this device. Just make sure to continue to report all of the offending threads. Hopefully we can keep things relatively clean.
Thanks guys.

Sony Xperia S General forum
Please be aware there are multiple forums for the Xperia s, so make sure you post to the correct forum to ensure your post gets the best visibility and so that the forums stay organized.
The "Sony Xperia S" General forum is for tips, tricks, news, etc. about the Xperia S, NOT for questions.
For all questions about your Xperia S, please go to the Q & A section.
If you feel that the most appropriate forum for your post is not 100% clear, then use your best judgement.
Any non-related threads will be moved to the appropriate forum or closed.
Repeat offenders will be infracted/banned.
Duplicate Threads.
In addition, please do a search before starting a brand new thread. Duplicate threads make it harder for other users to find the information they need efficiently. If your thread is a duplicate, it may be closed but an explanation will be given. No offense is intended, so don't take it personally, but please understand that it's all for the benefit of yourself and others. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask the mods.

Xperia U will get top forum on All devices?

Hi!
I think there are a lot of Xperia U users here (like me) and it will better to make a thread for U on top device.
I actually think it would be great to have a unified NXT series forum instead of 3 separate forums for the S, P and U.

Well they need to do something.

Splitting threads will really clarify things.
Personnaly, I don't have any interest to follow what is not about my device.
No need for a top device forum but subforumsc ould do the trick.
If a shared forum is needed for somthing then a nxt general/dev forum could be created also.
There is a lot of post that are really irrelevant to other devices than concerned.
Oh no! Not again!
This is not the place to make such requests. Post this in request forum for new devices topic under XDA general.
MODs close this thread.

Forum Division!

Hi all!
Does anyone knows why do we have to share forums with P,U,sola etc when other phones like htc one v or titan, se neo, x8 and other low end galaxys have a separated one? Even ion has one.. Can the S at least be separated along with sl acro s into a new forum cause its very confusing to navigate with so many Sola P U Tipo and miro forums..
Thanks!
Sent from my XPERIA S using XDA app
Because it was always S originally but as the others came out they just added to it.
I assume because the software is all very similar?

I'd be happy to see separate forums for each device, moderator?

Not going to happen. If it was HTC Xperia S or Samsung xperia S, then yes. but its since sony...
I prefer being with Xperia NXT users.

Yes me too but I've read that acro s s and sl have similar hardware, while P U and others have different one.
Every crappy Sammy has a separated one and ion also and we nothing!

Hello Xperia users !
I understand your point of view. But instead crying out loud how about we take it on to ourselves in getting this forum organized ? Each & every member of this community should be help each other in getting the forum organized.
I have a few ideas & would request everyone to suggest a few of their own which if implemented to the word could help in organizing the forums & make it easier for everyone to access the relevant information. That's what everyone wants right, to have access to the right information ?
Let's make having a TAG before each & every thread which tells us about which specific device it has information/on going discussion mandatory/compulsory.
Some examples of the Tags could be:
[XS], [XP], [XU], [SOLA]/[XSLA], [XGO], [XAS]
Just politely inform the Original Poster (OP) of each thread to update the title of the thread to reflect the correct Tags, let's try to make this forum more accessible to everyone.
Even the official Sony forum is split in to handsets, although it lacks the enthusiasm and of here at least you can see what's what.
Blame Sony for releasing too many damn phones. Many of which are just too similar.
I don't blame the mods. If I was one I'd do exactly the same thing.
You think they don't have anything better to do with their time than create and organise forums for so many niche devices because Sony are losing their mind?.
If the brand is this diluted, why should anyone wonder if people loose respect for it and just lump them all together.
To be fair to the S, it deserves its own separate section because it has a lot of users. Far far more than the rest put together.
The rest can and should be lumped together

For me, it's not about the troubles of finding a particular thread [though it is a terrible mess] it's not seeing the thread in the first place.
Like this thread, only came upon it by chance, but the chances are slim with so many non-specific [to my needs] threads filling the first page.
I have no experience with running a forum, but as there are 30+ xda forums, why not a couple more..?

What is the need?Already development section is separate,only General ,Q & A and Themes & Apps section is same for all devices.
In Themes and App section,there may be max of 4-5 new threads per day.And most of the mods and themes are compatible with 2-3 devices.
In Q & A and General,users ask same questions again and again,instead of searching.With tags ,it can be easily accessed.
I don't see the need of forum division for now..
What we request is for more organized like other forum that's all brother

That's your opinion, sure, I find it messy and unorganised, it's also not pleasing to the eye:
[XperiaS]
[XPS]
[SXPS]
{XS}
All the same handset, but if you scan the forum with your eyes, all those above look like different models, so you have to read the word, then decide what it is before moving on. But hey, that's just my opinion but that's why I feel the need for a seperate forum.
Also, many old threads don't have these prefixes, so the device is unknown, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
What phone is that for? How is that "Xperia S, P, U, Sola, Acro S, Go General" anymore? It's not...
just make it like this
S Acro S SL Arc HD
Sola P U and Go!
Tipo+Dual , Miro
Combine the Xperia J with old forum like the Neo V
T and TX together
V
Ion
First I want to be clear in this matter forum specific moderators like myself and cooleagle do not decide or control how xda makes device forums this is done by administrators. We just try to our best to keep what they decide in order and keep the peace.
Some of you who are saying things like posts from today are already on the 2nd and 3rd page already should have a look at a high end device forum like the galaxy SIII the general section has 4 pages of posts just from today. Even with 6 phones this forum does not generate the traffic of something like the SIII. The thing that some are losing site of is that xda is a developer's site and each phone for this forum has its own development section this is the information that should be the most important to our members. As we have already stated making subject lines that say what the device is critical to keeping the general and Q&A sections more organized.
If you are unhappy with the current set up then I suggest you go to the New Forum Request thread and post that you wish for a change but while you're there take a look at how many devices don't have any type of forums at all.

If you look at the threads with a sticky you will see that cooleagle has created a thread for general discussion for each device in this forum.
Maybe some of you should conisder creating an index thread like neectron took the time to do for the xperia themes and app section. If you few members would volunteer here to take one specific device and go threw the general section and find the important information and create a thread for it we could then stick those at the top of general as well or once completed cooleagle and myself could combine them into one thread. Just a thought for you guys and gals to consider.

Hi thanks for the reply.. I get that our phones may not have the sane traffic as SIII forum but again why does Ion have a separated one? I believe the S has more people than ion

Jelly Bean for 2011 Petition!!!

Ok, someone has made a petition for anyone to sign to make Sony develop Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.1, possibly 4.1.2) for the 2011 devices. It has been quite a while on Ray forum but now it's not really going as planned. It's growing pretty slowly. But together we can achieve much more. I'm posting this on Arc and Neo forums as well. Please sign!!! :good:

just change title to
"pls delete"
i'm sure i'm not the only one that wouldn't have found this petition had you not posted it here so may be wrong but thank you it helped me
now you have to change the petition title to jellybean 4.2!
http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Keep the Post Sticky in the Development Area as well..
i agree with rules but in this case the rules work against us... i would have never found the petition in the general area..
the point is for more people to see it... so i believe an excuse should be made for this...
there is no point in trying to protect the "dev" forums if after 3 months there will be no development... with no JB..
better make a petition for 4.2.
and sony wont do anyway. my next phone will be a nexus.
I didn't see this thread before so thanks
Yes go to JB
I already signed my request and you guys already signed?
Already signed and sticked it to my facebook group!!!
