Hey all,
I recently bought an Xperia Go and updated it to the latest FW
and now a couple of bugs present themselves.
the goal of this thread is to list them and/or list solutions
* laggy launcher
* a lot of widgets aren't supported or simply don't work
* no notification bar settings at all
* Wifi issue's ( more Xperia phones have this, reported to have something to do with the Wpa_supplicant )
(all my keyboard issues where solved by installing JB keyboard)
For the people who still have problems with the laggyness of the phone:
try Munjeni's Kernel and Pimp My Rom (use the different android_upgrade package and only the volume buttons NOT the screen! )
An update from sony has been reported
Proof
hopefully this wil resolve some issues
to be continued
My bugs:
* WalkMate doesn't count steps or count it incorrectly; allways below 50 steps (even when Extended battery is off)
* Camera viewer quality is bad on 5 mpx resolution (when I take pictures they are excellent)

Try different settings on your router, i found out that ICS and WPA2 don't work very well together...

That's not acceptable, seeing that WPA2 is a widely-used standard in academic and commercial environments for WiFi encryption.
Hi.
I have tried ICS official stock from Sony Update Service, yesterday.
1. Laggy
2. Drain my battery, 20 - 40% faster that it did in GB
3. Bad performance, laggy and more laggy.
4. My Xperia Active with ICS are much more faster and smoother.
Back to GB, everything run perfectly

Well tell that to developpers of the routers firmware, it depends on the router mostly and not the phones

Hi.
Try to reinstall ICS ROM again via Sony Update Service.
Since you had GB before and didn't had any problems with your WiFi at home, and now you have problem with ICS, i believe this is a ICS problem.
If this was a router problem, you should experience the same with your GB ROM.
I did try ICS for couple of days ago, and i didn't had any problem with the WiFi here at home, but ICS was so laggy and had bad performance. I went back to my stock GB again.
I don't understand why some people have laggy device and other not. I thought it was the same phone (Xperia GO).
Well you have to try ICS a couple of days ( the first days the phone is 'learning' your behavior)
and after a while it gets less lags
and for the WiFi problems, i can connect to some routers but not to others,
so i think it's a router issue more then an ICS issue although i can't remember if i had it with GB...
Btw is someone else experiencing problems with low battery:
when my battery gets less than 15% my phone gets very slow (opening apps/switching to launcher)
even rebooting is almost impossible ( at( one time i had to wait until my phone turned off by itself)
Hi.
Well, maybe i should try ICS again and just let it be laggy for couple of days and see if that help, but i also notice that the ICS drain my battery like he....l . Something i don't like at all.
I have been reading at Sony forum, and there is lot of people have problems with ICS.

That doesn't make sense. Loads of wireless devices connect to WPA2 successfully. It's only that this phone, when upgraded to stock ICS, fails to stay connected, and has the wpa_supplicant process hang with 100% cpu usage when such happens. It's definitely a software issue on Sony's end.

That i didn't know, i only experienced that in my bar most phones with ICS or IOS had trouble with WPA2 on my router and when i switched to WPA it seemed that the problems where gone,
but after a few days i couldn't connect for a while and suddenly it did...
Does anyone know a way to "fix" the wpa_supplicant problem?

Easy on the capitals there cowboy... :laugh:
There's indeed a probleem with ICS and the Wifi, if you search the Xperia forums you'll see a lot of complaints about it.
there's no solution at the moment, but there's an official update comming Proof
So you'll have to wait for either
- a solution made/found here on XDA
- an official update (wich hopefully resolves this
- a custom rom ( several can be found, but they're still in development)
- go back to GB
The xperia Go is a very good phone, it just needs some love and attention, some tweaks and customs...

Hi all,
I noticed wifi connectivity issue on new ICS ROM. I tried both ICS official and custom ROM. Both are having same issue. For wifi It seems GB is better than ICS !!!
Issues:
- when i download something, sometime connection dropped and reconnect in a second.
- when i open a pages on browser, get delay to load a normal page. It seems mobile network is better than wifi
Did anyone feel the same, please share your commend here.
Also a thread i found on sony forum, replicate the same issue!!!
Yes even i am having the same issue...
this is already posted mates,

I cross check the router with GB Neo v mobile, working great !, Also i am using wifi at office, working with ICS same result (Office router can be connect over 1000 in a time).
However is a GB problem too
Finally is emerging the bad wifi module we have on 2011 Sony, and is not ICS the cause, but probably it shows better the lack of wifi.
Keep in mind that the issue is hardware, this chip can't guarantee a stable connection and a stable reception of the beacons.
See the immense discussion on sony support forum about "xperia keep dropping wifi connection".
There is nothing to do, bad hardware and stop.
Who didn't experience the problem with GB was only lucky, try to change the router or download a ubunto distro and see like it drops.
Agreed

Here is thread with same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599459
and as you can see problems got solved with replacing router.
There are 2 problems in ICS with WiFi.
1) people can't connect AT ALL to their routers, which worked on GB,
2) dropout issues.
So many of you who have those problems, by this time you could create list of routers which have that problem, and see if there is pattern.
Or wait some dev who have that problem to fix it, as it's hard to create something if you don't experience that problem.

Internet just getting crazy and not work anymore, he decides not to work any more and even have signs of reception (also with full reception that is four bars) and even I connected to the quick (and the problem is not the network because it happens basically everywhere) I tried to fix it through the Recovery: <advence> toggle wifi premmision tried through the tarminal emulator things short, I can not find a solution and I'm sure the problem is the kernel that before I installed it and I just had the ROM with the web to work right without the kernel .. but this phone is worth 1 doller that the games barely moving .. so if possible I need a solution that will work on this kernel! Please Help

Try a different rom or kernel maybe?
I use this ROM:

I've never had a problem with WiFi with it. If you keep having the problem, it may be your phone that is buggy and if you have a warranty you should have it fixed.

Please only post once, when someone can help you they will post a reply.
Anyway onto the main topic, Basically as said above by Sirp0p0, I would try another ROM, Personally I have no idea what kind of ROM to try, just off the top of my head GTR (Gamer - Talho - ROM), but that is only based on the screenshots, I personally have not tried it.
Just from my own experience, try out different ROMs, find the one that you personally like and suites your own style. If any bugs / issues are found, read the forum / previous posts there maybe updates or updates coming.
When you say it happens everywhere, please describe what you mean.. If you mean everywhere _in_ your house then it maybe a router problem / DHCP disconnecting you, it could also be a screen time out issue, I know that when I am connected VIA wifi to my net, if my screen locks, my internet disconnects (on stock p500 GB rom ver, 2.3.3).
In short it could be various things, to be able to help you can you give us some more information, your rom, build number, can you provide any screenshots? Also how are you trying to access the internet? Through what application exactly? It is also possible it's a buggy app? but these are just my thoughts and ideas, maybe some other XDA members will be able to help you or give you more info than me.
everywhere=my house..school ..friend house and stuff like this.. and what you are talking about is wifi sleep policy i turn it to never so it isnt my problem..but ty for trying
any body else?plz help?
Please help someone

Hi guys I wrote to Sony asking about plans on upgrading to jelly beans our tablet and this was the answer I got:
Thank you for contacting Sony Support.
I understand that you want to upgrade the Android from Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwitch) to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Regretfully, due to all the variables involved with, testing, manufacturing, and distribution, we are not able to provide any definite release dates. However, the update will be available very soon and you will be notified with the notifier in the Tablet.

This is awesome news, good to see Sony do care about their customers. I would like to see the wifi issues addressed (Does anyone else have issues with their wifi?) apart from that the Sony Tablet S still has a lot of potential in the market, great price and awesome experience!

Well that is good news. I recently bought the tab and I love every bit of it. Haven't had any wireless issues. I really hope when sony releases the next update they also enable this device to control PS3. In my opinion that's the major hurdle right now in realizing the full potential of this device as a media controller.
No Wi-Fi issue even before the upgrade.

I know what you mean with the wifi issue - you are connected (wifi icon is present and blue and wifi says 'connected') but basically you have no communication.
somebody recommended "advanced wifi lock", free from Google Play and I'm running that now, so far it seems to fix it.

I'm very happy with my Tablet S, I have had the wifi stall on occasion but a quick off/on fixes it for me, think its happened no more than 5-6 times since I got the tablet.
I'm just hoping to root my official ICS and get write access to the sdcard, I've tried an unofficial CM10 rom on my Motorola Atrix and Jelly Bean with Google Now is definitely a mobile experience.......
But I'll take a Tablet S update for sure.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. great site. phone is Sony Xperia S with stock ICS with 4.0.4
i have issues with bluetooth music keeps skipping at random and whenever i interact with the device with WALKMAN. i never had this problem when i had GB on the phone.
I installed poweramp and increased the audio buffer to 750ms and enable wakelock option in poweramp and bluetooth music skips less than the WALKMAN but it stil skips. i am wondering if less free ram or high cpu usage can cause this. i got nothing installed on the phone except poweramp. i formatted the sdcard a few times and reinstalled ICS using SEUS. but the issues remained.
i have a SE mw600 and a sony dr-bt50 headphones. they worked fine with my old iphone which i already sold. lol
i have no problems with the bundled earphone except that i barely hear music when am in a bus.
is the bluetooth headsets incompatible with sony xperia s or it something else. can someone guide me here.
It's a bluetooth issue i think , I've tried loads of different ways to fix it and it still happens! Its soo annoying! Is your phone rooted?

No the phone is not rooted. But am considering. so there is no current solution for that? hmm. i really liked the phone. i use ubuntu and arch linux at home and i cant even get access to the sdcard of the phone after ICS upgrade . i had issues transferring files when phone had GB but i could transfer some files but not anymore. i really like the phone but i think SONY messed with the phone. i sold my iPhone because i could not use it directly with linux and thought buying and android phone will give me this feature. The android system is awesome. i am will wait for a solution from sony or anyone, if i cant get it working then am going to sell the xperia s and never buying a sony phone. am going with nexus.
i think when the phone was on GB i did not have this issue on the bluetooth music. so mayB its ICS and it can be solved. can someone confirm this if i downgrade to GB, will this solve the bluetooth issue. Thanks
thanks for your reply Ben
There is apparently another update from Sony due so fingers crossed they'll sort it
Same issue here, getting annoying now too. Mine often pauses or skips when playing from my car stereo on the BT. Hoping that there is an update pushed out soon to fix.
if you are rooted, and have int.d support on your kernel you can flash the xperia fidelity audio optimization zip. It really helped for me, the audio still skips sometimes on bluetooth but not like every 20 secs without it. you can find it in the themes and apps section. apparently it incorporates some kernel, governor, and i/o scheduler optimizations for low-latency playback

Ok. thanks Ben, i will wait for the update. if the update does not solve this issue, then going with galaxy nexus
You can always go back to GB. Thats the decision I made. You dont realise just how solid the phone is, until it isn't.
I dont know if you use NFC, but is is much better on GB compared to ICS. Using smart tags to connect to a BT device only worked about 10% of the time for me under ICS, 100% under GB.
Fingers crossed for an ICS update that is actually tested.
--Phil
I have a Sony smart headset pro and use it over bluetooth with ICS. I very rarely have skipping problems. I run Mooded ICS, xperia Sspeed kernel V2 and have changed Dalvik VM to 128. Everyonce in a while it will very very slightly hiccup but nothing that produced a large problem. Hopes this helps.
Hello everyone, i've flashed yesterday the SK17i ICS Stock Firmware Build 4.1.b.0.587, the overall performance is good for myself, however it may seem that WiFi has some 'Weird' issues
It work's i can navigate via WiFi with my Xperia via Wifi on a TP-LINK router and lots of hotspots, actually an TL-WR841N (Wireless B,G,N) that is a kickass router overall for home applications, but since i've flashed to ICS, has a WEIRD behavior that suddenly disconnects, drops and catches WiFi again, sometimes is very fast, but other times takes like 5 seconds OR MORE...
How do i know is an ICS issue?? Well didn't happened at all with GB, and other devices on my home seems to work pretty well (Motorola ATRIX, Milestone II, RAZR i, laptops and blabla...)
Hope someone has tracking or solution under this issue.
And thanks a lot for the community in advice!:good:
Rooted? Unlockd?
Went back to stock, or just upgraded?
