Xperia arc s is extremely buggy after ICS update

The following issues have appeared after det Android 4.0 update:
1. The phone restarts all the time without any prior warning (extremly annoying)
2. Bad Wifi reception.
3. Apps freeze and shut down all the time( A am aware that this could just as well be apps not optimized for ICS)
4. Charging the battery seems to be much slower.
Any bugfixes comming out soon? Anything I can do, except maybe get a Samsung instead?

Hello
I got with my phone Arc with similar problems. Update was successful only at the third attempt, the phone responds much more slowly than in Version 2.3 ... Wi-Fi connection which is switched off and disconnected so by watching the Internet, You Tube... This is not happening before the update. Starting applications is much slower than before. For some even changed commands              :( . Mostly everything is much slower. Only appearance is more beautiful ... the rest?? Before I update to ICS 4, all work better and smoother.
Why?

  • (Xperia Ray) Can't install Apps after ICS update !

    HI everyone.
    I bought mine (Xperia Ray)  couple of days ago and updated It to ICS with the update service software.
    now I can't install any apps.
    when I click the install button (The picture) where It shows the permissions the app needs, nothing happens.
    when I Click the cancel button, (obviously) It cancels the process.
    any ideas !?
    thanks

  • How to connect Xperia ray with PC over WiFi after ICS update?

    Please don't tell me this option is now disabled. I also have the WiFi drop issues like many people before me but i assume we will have to wait untill the update for that fix. Needless to say, phone was working perfectly before this update.

    The issue is with WPA and WPA2:
    0day 00:59:03 wlan0: A wireless client is associated - XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    0day 00:59:06 wlan0: A STA is rejected by 802.1x daemon - XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    0day 00:59:06 wlan0: WPA2-AES PSK authentication in progress...
    0day 00:59:06 wlan0: A wireless client is associated - XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

    0day 00:59:16 wlan0: A STA is rejected by 802.1x daemon - XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    and so on...
    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is my MAC
    as you can see in few seconds the phone is connected and then refused by the access point.

  • No audio after ICS update.

    After ICS update, have lost audio playback. In settings, speaker has single line crossing thru it showing audio is muted. Can not unmute audio. Same for audio 'alerts'. Have rebooted and pulled battery to no avail. Ideas?

    I also have the same problem with the sound going in an out and lines through the speaker/notification etc. I called tech support and they actually told me to come on this forum and look for solutions, because the update has problems. I certainly didn't really understand that message...45 minutes waiting on hold to tell me to check the boards. Oh well. Any answers let us all know. :-)

  • Blackberry Z10 became extremely slow after OS update to version 10.3.1.2243

    Hi,
    My Blackberry Z10 became extremely slow after OS update to version 10.3.1.2243. For example it sends text message 10-15 seconds after send button has been hit.
    Can not answer the phone when a caller is calling (answer slide interface is unrespnsovie), if I want to launch any application screen turns black and nothing happens, etc.
    Does anyone experience similar issues?
    Thank you.
    Michal.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    A quick read of this site will answer your final question quite clearly. The "fix" depends on several factors, but given what you describe I recommend you immediately update, via AutoLoader, to the most recent version (.2582)...some of the prior versions contain some particularly challenging issues, which are reported to be fixed in this version.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Itunes starts extremely slow after an update of windows 8.1.

    Itunes starts extremely slow after an update of windows 8.1.
    It takes up to 10 minutus.
    If I see the appliction log in event viewer then I see the following errors on the Bonjour service.
    For instance:
      Client application bug: DNSServiceResolve(a8:fa:d8:3a:1e:8f@fe80::aafa:d8ff:fe3a:1e8f._apple-mobdev2._t cp.local.) active for over two minutes. This places considerable burden on the network.
    followed by
      SendWakeupPacket error: sent -1 bytes: 10065
    What can this be?
    Already thanks,
    John

    I did all the step with save mode and that didn't gave the same result.
    Then I created a new account and there itunes started up normally.
    So I contued with the user section.
    I removed the itunes directory from
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    This gave the same result in not starting up.
    Then I removed the itunes directory from
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    The a popup appears that the Bonjour Service has been disabled.
    I looked in services and saw that is was still running.
    But I tried to restart this service and it took a long time to stop this service.
    Even if I selected restart the Bonjour Service didn't start.
    Manually starting was not a problem.
    Clicking OK on the popup let itunes start quickly. And closing and starting it again was also quickly.
    So Matt thanks for your answer.
    If it happens again I have to see if it was the removing of the itunes directory from roaming or restarting the Bonjour Service.

  • Xperia arc s adb not working after upgrade to ICS

    Hi,
    I have used my Xperia arc s for android development (using eclipse) for a long time without any problems. Then I decided to upgrade my arc to ICS (4.0.4). I installed PC Companion and upgraded with the official software from sony. After the upgrade I can not connect to my arc from eclipse anymore. The device manager in Windows Vista shows a warning on "Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB Interface Driver" and "Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)". This is shown in the device manager before I even connect my arc using USB cable.
    I think the problem occured either when I installed PC Companion, or when I upgraded the phone. I have tried to uninstall PC Companion and reinstall the adb device driver with no luck.

    Since I'm not fully into these kind of issues I'd recommend you to check over at the developer site to be able to get hold of more info.

  • Xperia Neo media server doesn't work anymore with Sony Bravia TV after ICS update!

    Xperia Neo (MT15i) updated from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431). I did not perform any reset (factory settings) after the update.
    Media server does not work anymore with Sony Bravia TV KDL40-NX700. With 2.3.4 it worked correctly before.
    When I start the media server on my Xperia Neo and try to view my photos on my Bravia TV it shows connection, I am also able to view different folders on the Smartphone but when it tries to load the photos in any folder on the Smartphone it stops working after a while. Feedback on TV is "cannot connect to media sever". The same procedure worked without any problems when using 2.3.4 before.
    Is this a known issue and is there any solution for this?

    Wow that is a new one, great find!
    I wish I had tested that with my Ray, as I had used the media server feature quite a bit with my DirecTV receiver when on Gingerbread.  But too late, it's on the way back to Sony to get rolled back to Gingerbread.
    Too many other problems with ICS that have crippled my device.
    1) Wi-Fi Hotspot does not work anymore
    2) USB tethering does not work anymore
    3) LED notification issues for incoming SMS
    4) Dialer slow to load
    5) HD Video recording skip frames and jitter.
    6) Bluetooth AVRCP profile broke (can't use the play/pause button on my car stereo anymore)
    If you have not done so take a look at the above features and see what you turn up.

  • After ICS update, WiFi widget causes phone reboot

    After installing the ICS update on my Xperia PRO USA unlocked model via PC Companion... when I turn off WiFi using the widget, it does so - it turns it off. When I use the widget again to turn WiFi back on, it causes my phone to reboot.
    I don't seem to have this problem if I turn WiFi on and off inside the WiFi settings area. But using the widget is now broken for me.
    Anyone else?
    When I use this, to turn WiFi back on, the phone reboots:

  • Droid RazrMaxx battery problems after ICS update

    I purchased a RazrMaxx in June and updated it to ICS on June 29. Since the ICS update the battery life on the phone went downhill. After a 100% charge and having the phone on standby for the last 14hrs 15min, I have only 30% battery life. I reset the phone twice to factory specs, it did not help. Screen brightness is set to about 30%,battery savings mode is on. Does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks

    Wipe Cache first, if that doesn't bring joy, FDR but do not let google restore apps/data - set them up manually(PITA, I know)
    For info on how to do either:https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/777870
