SO-01C(LT15a)

price is crazy
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Some people are dreaming too much...greedy bastards.

If this go on for a while I may jump to Nexus S. Maybe sonyericsson is not for US market.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
nexus s is cool, but i think you should get the arc . we will find a seller just wait.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Ok boss, hook me up when you find one. You still want one for yourself right?
[Xperia Arc General] teamshao:
Sony Ericsson USA Facebook pages shows Arc and Neo both under the unlocked phones section...

http://www.facebook.com/SEUSA?sk=app_4949752878
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Yes, I noticed that before but never realized that may mean something till you just mentioned it again. hmm,
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
yes i want one for myself and im dying to find out where this dude on ebay got the LT15a.

i sent him asking if he was going to get more in stock or any other colors.

im guessing he has sonystyle connections.

ive still got $790 paid for the pink Docomo model, but no sight of the seller.

im gonna give him till friday to reply or im going to open an ebay case
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
did he have a good rating? I hate when that happens/

What would take him to respond back.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
this is what the seller on ebay replied, i wish he would just give us more info on where he got it.

Dear,

No this is the only one. Thanks

Dear elsapr,

will you be getting any other stocks in?

any different color ?

can you get the pink color or Silver?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
One doesn't raise any flags for SE but if he sells lots of them, they will find who is the source.

Even though he has good rating but this is still suspicious to me.
[Xperia Arc General] majik8ball:
Well guys i did it... i couldn't wait any longer so i put a bid on ebayer from fla... wish me luck and if i win i'll let you know if its legit or not...

Keep fingers crossed...
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I will outbid you. haha... JK

PS, I never bid early. always wait till last minute because you are raising the price up for yourself too :D
[Xperia Arc General] majik8ball:
Nimche,

I only put the min $675... if you want it its yours, i just don't think i can pay more than $700, if you win you win and i'll just have to wait till i can find another unlocked arc.... but i do wanna say thank you for all the information you have provided and sparked in this thread. I am with you in the quest to get a lt15a asap... lol

I just hope that with rogers hopefully releasing it on the 28th of this month we will not have to "battle" over the supplies
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Nah, I am kidding bro. We can't all fight over this phone. Rogers will simplify our life soon with some news. Tonight is the Launch event and probably some people will get some insight of the release date at least. I thought it is kind of stupid of them to release two phones on one day and may arc come sooner?

Keep you bid and you may win. $700 is too much if I find the money then I will bid but I am trying to find a nice person in Canada to help me out buying one of the Rogers ARCs. Soon.

We all are waiting here for result. I doubt if anything happens this week,. we may have to dream about 19th for now.

Thanks for being here and share your experience, as long as we are together we get less pain.
[Xperia Arc General] majik8ball:
Nimche,

Hey you've been a great help and plus we SE X10a guys gotta stay together! Haha

Good luck and i too will eagerly wait for more news

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
wait till the last minute at 10 seconds and we press together , then we will see who wins looooooooool.

dont raise its price
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
You will be sleeping while I am bidding to win that mama.

I swear, I am really optimistic to get something out of this launch event. Only issue was that I coulnd't find anyone from here which is attending.

Someone will report back somewhere here.

+I want the silver one not midnight blue. if the housing was like $10 then i would get the blue but there is nothing for arc @ this moment.

you get it from Rogers for $549 Ca dollar = 570 US dollar WTF? then $20 shipping will be around $590

I wish that rogers release the phone on 15th.

Rogers customers who ordered online got the message that someone will be contacting them for hardware upgrade option on 15th of April. lets see if anyone get anything by this Friday.

We can go week by week with no news.

Anyone any friends @ SE USA? We knew someone in Sony Playstation team but did't show up anything on the employee system.

SE Xperia ARC unlocked would be delicious.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
And then this is the confirmation that we have to wait another couple weeks :D

April 28th it is...

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/04/13/live-from-the-rogers-sony-ericsson-xperia-play-and-arc-toronto-launch-party/
[Xperia Arc General] majik8ball:
Nice... the 15th would have been better, but i def will take 28th... YES can't wait!!!

Hopefully they will have it unlocked so we can do bootloaders with custom roms
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Most SE products always come out end of the month or end of the quarter:mad:. Good I will be gone to Cancun for Spring break to take my mind of Arc and S2. Meanwhile my new toy Xoom should keep me engaged:D
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Rogers Pre-Order?

Just went onto the Rogers website and found this pre-order link: https://www.rogers.com/web/content/sony-arc-play?preOrderForm=true&cm_sp=Consumer-_-Wireless_Devices_0411_Eng-_-xperiaarcplay-preorder_HOM_PRE_slot3

But I don't see the option that allows us to buy the arc w/o contract. Am I missing something?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Of course you are not missing anything. This is what we have planned. Rogers have put the pre-order site since two weeks ago. People who got the pre-order going received an email saying by 15th of this month someone from Rogers will contact them and discuss the hardware upgrade stuff(which is tomorrow the 15th).

Last night in Launch party VP of Rogers said that ARC &Play will come out on 28th.

Now :D when its out, then they will also sell it as out of contract. Prices were leaked a while ago so its about $549 but keep in mind that these phones are not officially listed on Rogers but when they are, you can get them in store or online.

Or, I hope this is the way it will happen. now, we count for 14 days and it will be fast(like the first half of the month)

Cheers,
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
hey nimche

check this website out, they say they have the two versions

Supported Frequencies GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/ 900/ 1800/

UMTS HSPA 900/ 2100 or UMTS HSPA 800/ 850/ 1900/ 2100

http://www.celluloco.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-misty-silver-android-v23-gingerbread-pr-3208.html

im busy can u give them a call

thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I am and will update the same post again.

Update One: Phone: no one picks up and mailbox is full. Lets try to chat.

Update Two: I have been in Chat almost 15 minutes and I am still in the que. One thing i notice they are in Florida, go and knock on their door. + they have pretty ****ty reviews online. They charge more. HAHA

Update Three: I am still waiting and then in the package include section says: " Warranty: Sony Ericsson Warranty (Asia/Europe only) "

Update Four: Still here, I am leaving to go home and then check back tomorrow or may call them but lots of online stores had both bands and at the beginning I called many of them and they thought phone comes with both bands but then I had to correct them. Lots of people in this business know **** about gadgets and they are only money makers...idiots (I know) but the only thing in this listing is the word "or" which makes you think they know what this is but I bet they don't :D. More news after the break :D
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
well they are in the miami area which is near where that dude on ebay is selling the LT15a, the thing that attracted me was the "or" part which like you said makes you feel like they know what they are talking about.

i guess they are closed since it is 9:30 in southern Florida

note : im in the tallahassee area so they are still far from me loool

lets check on them in the morning and hope they have it
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
But did you read their review?

Its ridicules, they charge too much. Online store is all screwed up in converting currencies. I will give them a call and clear this out.
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Another one on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-Unlocked-Blue-Sony-Ericsson-XPERIA-Arc-/250804176027?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3a6518049b

IMO it's normal that unlocked vesions appear first. Companys take more time while put own logos and lock the phones.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Thats weired. It came from UK but box says LT15a? I hope this is not mis-print.
[Xperia Arc General] AdamUpNorth:
Has any one ordered from http://www.puremobile.com/ or http://www.puremobile.ca?? The site looks great and has the ARc & Play as "Coming soon".

Problem is most of the reviews I see for ordering from this place are terrible. Just wondering if anyone has ever used them.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
What would happen if Rogers could release it on the 19th? No one is trying to make us happy. Just release the handset as is we don't want your crap on our gadgets...
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Mobile City has preorder here in the US: (what a price and band is 850/1900) It should be US version.

MobileCity
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
go for unlocked since their coming out and forget rogers
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I am actually. I will call them tomorrow and see if they may have any release date. We are close. Have you heard anything about the Docomo?
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
ya i forgot to tell u that the seller refunded my money, i guess he invested the money for a week and gave it back to me looooool.

im still gonna have to find a pink one.

im gonna check out www.celluloco.com for the silver one . if the info is correct then they should have it in stock

the ebay price for that florida dude is just going crazy
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
yes, I won't get that. Too much money to waste. I may be able to hold myself till tomorrow and see if I can get some answers and will let you know.

Soon, all of us will be one of lt15a owners...
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
@Nimche

Please let me know if you find out the release date for the arc on mobile city.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Of course I will post all information here. Can't wait to lay my hands on that mama. SE is making me sick with all these release dates and kick the america out of the regular system but then I have no other choice as SE is the only mobile manufacturer that I like the design. Design kicks ass.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
This one is out of system, he claimed that phone is lt15a but its not.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250804176027&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_2034wt_1139

Make sure you are no bidding on this. SE makes lots of people confuse about different bands.
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Think same as you. All other brands wants to be like iPhone, samsung galaxy in shape is identical.

iPhone is not for me, I want a phone that lets me use it with my environment.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I have a feeling that SE is really trying this time and if this goes as they have promised with bootloader and in case there is no obstacle in front of Developers, these phones will be popular and maybe in future Google phone is a SE phone which is == updates on time with vanilla OS with awesome SE design(where is future?)

Amen,
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Mobilecity pre-orders can't be trusted. I pre-ordered W995a from them when they initially listed it for a too good a price at $399. Once it was released they cancelled my order as the phone was listed for over $500. But, they happened to get my email to send me marketing emails :-)
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
What you say is clearly listed (preorder description) but my hope is not the price but the availability of the phone itself :D (price is important too)
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
found this discussion board for US - Xperia arc - thought I would share this....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heking:
I've been trying to get the Super One Click Shell Root to work on my Acer Liquid mt, I'm quite familiar with adb and all, but I get a pop-up message that says the phone already has a temporary root. Restarting doesn't fix the problem like it says. This has most likely happened because when I first tried rooting I used the temporary root, however half way through it came across a bug and simply stopped. I was wondering if you would have any tips on how to get my phone entirely back to factory settings? As now the phone randomly freezes with the only solution being to press the hard reset button.

I have already tried vache's recovery, and also Acer's Euu Packet. I even tried resetting the whole phone by holding the 2 volume buttons on start-up. Everything worked how it was supposed to, however none of them fixed the problem. Any help would be great :)

Regards,

Haydn

Edit : Not entirely sure if I have posted this in the right place :S
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jadesdan:
I take no credit for this! Thanks to TBH for bringing us Gingerbread and Fede for an awesome launcher!

I noticed that you can have the best of both worlds..... Launcher pro with the Blur app drawer. You may already know this, but it was new to me and I thought I would share. All the details are in the vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jgc_AQD5bA
[Droid X Themes and Apps] randroid123:
Where did you get that lock screen? Is that an app that replaces it or did you theme the framework apk to look like that???
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zwade01:
It looks like Widget Locker with a theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jadesdan:
It's widgetlocker
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mithikx:
cool, I was wondering about this; thanks
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zwade01:
BTW, this works for ADW as well. I just tried it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mithikx:
I got this problem where if I try to add shortcuts to my screens (any of them) Launcher Pro crashes... (using the latest unlocked version)

Running a rooted and deodexed 2.3.3 if it makes a difference, at any rate I got around that by long pressing the screen and adding shortcuts through that menu...

Also had trouble finding the "default" app drawer icon so I took a screenshot and cropped it via photoshop...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Os Money:
i did the ota update and then i installed tnt lite 4.4, then downloaded tb from the market place and did the steps to fix market....questions i have are:

1.) how can you tell if you fixed the market? is there something i should notice after doing it? (i seen the ! or w/e and powerd down and reboot when is seen that).

2.) with tnt lite 4.4 do i need to install flash or is that included in the install script (already does it itself)

3.) did it make a difference if i downloaded tb from market place before doing the fix or should ignore that and side load it like i see in some of the directions.

4.) do i need to worry about losing angery birds or anything like that if i do any of these fixes? or is there a way to back up your apps?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Os Money:
anyone?

anyone else have the same questions and already figured them out?

1.) how can you tell if you fixed the market? is there something i should notice after doing it? (i seen the ! or w/e and powerd down and reboot when is seen that).

You can find things in the market you couldn't find before... for example, Dolphin Browser.

2.) with tnt lite 4.4 do i need to install flash or is that included in the install script (already does it itself)

I believe it was in the install...

3.) did it make a difference if i downloaded tb from market place before doing the fix or should ignore that and side load it like i see in some of the directions.

I downloaded it before the fix. Worked fine.

4.) do i need to worry about losing angery birds or anything like that if i do any of these fixes? or is there a way to back up your apps?

If you did the factory data reset, that probably blew away some of your apps, like angry birds. Just redownload them from the market.
[HD7 General] rhn:
Hello,

My TMOUS HD7 was updated to nodo after debranding it to the uk rom which had nodo, posted by football. The volume was pefect after the update, ringer everything was loud. My device was locked then, so i downgraded to TMOUS 7004 rom, updated to 7008, Unlocked via chevron and updated to NoDo, which again gave me buggy audio , like it was before the nodo update. Since i have unlocked my device, i have access to the registry, Is there any way to increase the volume via the registry? Can some of you guys who have chevron'd 7390 build post the values in the registry for the ringer? Thanks a lot :)
[HD7 General] rhn:
Any help on this please?
[HD7 General] samnas2:
I have a similar issue.

Even though i have updated my phone to nodo, there still isn't any improvements that i can see.

Probably because its unlocked so it didn't got completely updated.
[HD7 General] rhn:
When I had flashed to nodo after a hard reset, sound had definitely improved:( unlocking messed up the update process I guess:(
[HD7 General] rhn:
Ok, found the registry for increasing the value, which is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\MaxSystemUIVolume

Changed to 50, The volume bar now shows 50 instead of the regular 30, but no increase in system volume :(

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\MaxInCallVolume

Set to 15, no increase here as well :(
[HD7 General] whynot2007:
Correct they just modifies the number but not actuall volume. Even i tried them but nothing happened. May be i need to try a reboot after changing the values. that i have not tried.
[HD7 General] whynot2007:
This is not the case atleast with me. As i have it chevron unlocked and after NoDo i did found a difference in the sound...
[HD7 General] whynot2007:
As i said in my previous reply i guess it should not be the issue as i updated my phone to NoDo after chevron unlocked. And its still unlocked after NoDo, and i did noticed a increase in the volume.
[HD7 General] rhn:
Yes, this issue is not widespread. but has happened to at least 5 users i know of, who have a chevron'd 7390 build :(
[Droid X General] tecknical:
share with the world what your Gingerbread experience has been like on the DX.

So far I can't complain at all. I even like the new blur. I'm getting consistent 1800s on Quadrant Standard and my battery is down to 50% after 14hrs (extended batt)

i don't think i'll switch from this for any ROM
[Droid X General] mcp770:
Same here! I really hated blur on the original rom and this is night and day better. I too have the extended battery and 24-48 hours is no problem if I limit my browser time etc. I have been on one custom rom or another since day two of owning my X and now I have to give motorola props on a rom I really enjoy. Just as fast as any custom I ran without any sacrifice of hdmi, dialer, universal inbox etc. Very happy with the current rooted stock setup. However I have seen the previews of what P3 is cooking up for the new tranquility rom and I will be giving that a go the moment it lands.
[Droid X General] jedikcc:
Data issues

After flashing GB, wireless tether would not work consistently. Also, my streaming apps (ESPN, Pandora) didn't want to play. ESPN would just say connecting for about 1 minute. Sometimes it would connect, other times it would just stay on "connecting". Also, web browsing would regularly redirect me to a Verizon page that asked me to sign up for mobile data. It was as if Verizon didn't recognize my data plan. After a few reboots, everything would work again, but after a few hours the same problems returned.

I had to SBF/Nandroid restore to 2.2 & everything is back to working properly.

I did love the new GB blur. My overall speed "felt" about the same as froyo. I would have stayed on GB if not for the data issues.

Just my 2 cents.
[Droid X General] namedkwon:
yeah i had issues with wireless tethering myself. i tested it even with the lastest alpha release for gb but still ended up pretty much losing connectivity with Verizon's 3g. even after i uninstalled its stock 3g hotspot app, since it automatically started running along w/ the rooted wifi tether version, the problem didn't go away.

as for the rest of the ROM, the quardrant score is very nice and i like the new pin-pointing text and its selecting text feature. also, the overall speed in browser seems faster. however, there's still way too much crap running due to blur and i don't like using most of the blur features. wish i could uninstall 90% of them. as for its looks, i'm a minimalist so the whole black gingerbread theme is awesome. personally, this new blur theme is still too tacky for me. too many random colors everywhere. but it is definitely better than the blur from 2.1.

TBH is working on AOSP gingerbread with no eta. will definitely hop onto that asap
[Droid X General] hazard666:
The only thing I do not like about the new GB build is that it's a real pain trying to remove any bloat. the regular programs uninstall fine via Titanium but if I remove things like the stock email program (which I never use), then the texting app goes haywire. Other than that...loving it.
[Droid X General] eastwood1:
GB for me has been kicking a**.The battery life is great also.Cant wait for a nice new GB Rom.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Gb has been great for me. My only complaint is that I can't seem to remove ads no matter what I try

EDIT: I got rid of ads by using a combination of Adfree, Droid Overclock by jrummy, and absolute system
[Droid X General] wprocter:
Great so far. No problem coming from rooted Apex to stock, rooted GB. Overclocked to 1.2 getting 2044 quadrants.

Got to get rid of this blue status bar. Ugly to me.
[Droid X General] FrayAdjacent:
Just went through the update, and found a bug - it keeps repeating the first second of every notification sound I set. Tried multiple apps and multiple sound files from my SDcard. Same thing. Rebooted phone. Same thing.
[Droid X General] jjsmillenia:
Loving the Gingerbread layout. It works extremely fast, which I was not expecting with all of the blur. I too was in search for a quick rom, with a little blur, but im in love. Only thing I wish is that the notification bar was black or dark grey.

No gripes here. Great work to TBH. Keep up the excellent work.
[Droid X General] FrayAdjacent:
Also found the screen turns on randomly after docked and turned off. That sucks in the middle of the night when sleeping.
