The Official Xperia S thread

[rssd21]

You guys haven't seen the insane power of ICS yet. Almost every app that is already optimized for ICS hardware acceleration FLIES. It freakin' flies. When these new generation of phones, be it Samsung, Sony or even Motorola finally get ICS, I can safely say interface lag won't be that much of an issue anymore. It will be down to a brand preference.

The ICS leak for my Note, 6 home screens, 7 scrolling widgets at 5x5, NO LAG. This was something not possible on ADW EX on my Gingerbread Note. That micro-stuttering you see on the Xperia S? You won't see it much longer when it gets ICS.

Yes, sony may be killing some fanatics that are blood-thirsty for ICS now. Im not too concerned about the minimum lag on xs but I want to have the slide-to-close running apps feature on ICS.

I want to run Nova Launcher. That's all I want ICS for honestly. My god that launcher is perfection, at least to me. Once I get ICS the first thing I will do is get the paid version.

Here are some shots taken with the XS camera. Took some pics of my room and some of my model kits. I must say its one of the best phone cameras ive seen. Im a total noob at taking photos, so it would probably be better in the hands of a pro. Macro shots are also pretty good imho.

Hello all Xperia S owners. How do you feel about the capacitive touch buttons under the home screen? Is it really unresponsive like in some reviews? Is it really a problem in general use?

Swiftkey is good but kinda lag on my phone..

Huh? I have been using Swiftkey X since it became a paid app with so many phones including this XS. No lag at all... Imo the best keyboard app.. saves me so many strokes..

It depends on where you press the capacitative buttons. Takes a bit of time to get used to get just the right area to press.. Of cos it should not be like that but.....

Some may equate this to unresponsive capacitative buttons.

yea its a problem. not really unresponsive but it'll only register if u touch the right spot. its a few mm above the dot actually. so sometimes ull accidentally press it.

Get used to it. You need to press fully for the phone to react. Good thing is that you wont accidentally press it so easily when using the phone.

 

[ragnarok95]

Not really a problem with the touch buttons. Missed a few but that's ok for me.
