Yes, quite a number have experienced this. After you use the stock SE camera app and EXIT the app, the camera will continue to drain the battery (at about 5% per hour)

Check if yours does that.

Your options:

1. Install a 3rd party camera app (like Vignette)

2. After you use the SE camera app restart the phone.

3. After you use the SE camera app, kill the task.

Settings > Applications > Running Services > tap the right (free RAM) at the bottom, look for camera and kill it

(I heard this somewhere else, not sure this works or there is even a camera task listed there, have a look)
[Xperia Arc General] :
Just use Task Killer/Manager..

No issues using stock camera..

Does anyone ever experience any creaking from the back of the phone, mine is pretty bad now.

Also, the time on my phone is now completely wrong 12:12? Live in Ireland. Gmt.

And finally, phone just froze on me watching a YouTube video.

Any suggestions more than welcome.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
running any task managers/ killers??? they might be causing your clock and freezing problem..

The back cover squeak... not been a problem for me.
[Xperia Arc General] osnola ivax:
Actually time is ok again now. I think the phone feels a little plasticy and cheap at times though, particularly the back cover, I wish it didn't creak as much and was made of glass or aluminium or rubber or something. But that thin bit of plastic just doesnt cut it for me.

Just another quick issue, when browsing with the stock browser, even though pages load quickly, scrolling and zooming is very jumpy, even compared to my desire. No probs with opera mini though.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
My browser ain't jumpy at all really it's just the clicking on links what I have to I have to click on a few times to get to the page but it might just be me not pressing it correctly
[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
That's because the lack of GPU acceleration on stock browser.

Try Opera or Firefox. These two have GPU acceleration and have much smoother scrolling and zooming. Although for Opera, you can't watch youtube video embedded (you'll be directed to your video player when trying to play it).

[Xperia Arc General] DahIzzo:
got WLAN issues at the arc.

if i download huge files (for example a game or a zip data) up to 100mb

the wlan connection kinda "reboots"/disconnection in backround for a very short time - and the download fails....

loading a huge Gameloft game (witch needs aditional data from WLAN) is almost impossible because at half of the way the download crashes , bcause problems with the wlan connectivity , sometimes even i cant access the wlan settings anymore- only a restart of the phone helps then... =/

Problem was when device was NOT rooted

but problem is also the same as i rooted my device later...

First call at SonyEr.Support Line said:" Its the problem to my WLAN ROuter, not the phone."

(not possible, since ALL of my 4 prev. smartphones worked fine. my 3 laptops work fine at WLAN, and the SonyArc also has the same problem as i tryed it at diffrent WLAN-routers (at work, diff. friends and family at home)

Second call at SonyEr.Support Line said: "Since the phone is new, its possible that there are a few "glitches" and bugs arround- expect a Bugfix or update soon or later."

(wtf, i want to use my phone NOW and not later. Also if i imagine the sony support, the update will more be later, than soon.

and im sry i cant rely on xda devs to fix this)

thats rly a HUGE problem to me because i often have to DL huge files....

do some of you also have those problems?

think ill send the arc back and get a DHD =/
[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
Downloaded Dungeon Hunter HD through WiFi. Pretty sure it's 240 MB and didn't have problem when downloading it.
[Xperia Arc General] DahIzzo:
i downloaded "Star Battalion HD" from gameloft- failed downloading.

and "fast 5" (fast2furious5 gameloft who needed ~500mb data)

both crashed.

as i downloaded the 500mb from Fast5, it failed often.

But it suddenly NOT FAILED as i was also doing inet-browsing in backround with my phone.

so seems like theres a WLAN timeout? (even in the settings, the specific wlan timeout is NOT selected) i also selected, and removed it already- still same problem.

strange, rly strange =(

i cant always doing back-browsing just to let a download not fail lol

I've decided to ROM my phone, I liked the Streakdroid ROM because it seems like the most up to date.

if theres a better one around I'd be happy to read about it.

but I can't make it happen.

I have clockworkmod

I have the XDA streakMOD img file aswell

I have the latest Streakdroid ROM (1.9.0)

I have the earliest Streakdroid ROM (1.5.1)

I'm lost, every set of instructions expects a level of knowledge I don't really know about (yet) I'm new to this, but I'm not a total dumbass.

can someone please tell me what I need to do to go from stock 2.2 (build 12821) to streakdroid 1.9.0?

so far I've installed clockworkmod, but when I press "reboot into recovery" it just reboots and starts afresh.

I'm pretty sure I fastboot it, but none of my PC's recognise IMG files, I tried a few programs but nothing wants to play ball.

Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.

Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu

At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu

what is "-i 0x413c" ?

am I supposed to use adb or something?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
Am providing because your post seems to focus on FastBoot and these are very good instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8038142&postcount=1

Although a bit dated instructions are still valid just replace old clockwork mod with latest and greatest clockwork mod.

Also am assuming you have rooted your current version of 2.2 (www.google.com if you need help in rooting).

When you get to the steps to install 1.9.0, if clockwork is installed correctly, you will install zip via sdcard not update package. If your instructions are in blue letters to install update page you do not have clockwork install on your Streak. "What you need to know about the Dell Streak - PDF" has screen shot of what clockwork looks like, yours should look the same.

By the way I run Windows 7 64 bit version and never had any issues because of it, any and all issues was the operator (AKA me) If you are running the same and believe that is causing your problems again use www.google.com to find your answer.com. Hope this helps.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06whitess:
I had the EXACT SAME issues up until the other day. There's a walkthrough, in word file, of how to do all this using QDL tool. I cannot remember for the life of me where I saw it, but I know it referenced the repairtool zip file from streakdroid.com website under downloads. I used the word file with QDL and, it worked first shot. Once you get cwm on the phone, 1.9 will load first shot. Make sure you have the install.txt file on your memory card, so you get everything you want, and nothing you dont. I had all launchers selected, and no apps, and it was damn near perfect. All I had to do was go in and downlaod my normal, and it was good. One thing to mention, as soon as you get cwm loaded, do a nandroid backup before you load streakdroid. Just in case, as a CYA.

Hello all,

during my visit in USA in February 2011, I bought a SGT from Sprint. It doesn't have a SIM card slot and it came with a 16 GB microSD card.

Back in Germany, I rooted it - success. Then I tried to flash it with an unbranded rom. I used Oddin an Win 7. After some tries and errors now the SGT does not react on anything anymore!

Battery must be full. Pressing any button or combinations does not result in a reaction anymore.

Hi!

First of all i want to say Hi to all desire z / g2 users! Recently i have bought desire z - before i was an g1 user - and i've loved it. BUT...

I have never used HTC SENSE before, and now i know for sure - hate it. To big, to complicated. What i like is just simple Android GUI. So...my question is: does any Devs are working on plain desire z (hopefully gingerbread) rom? And is there any new, stable and fast rom without sense or miui?

[Edit] oh! I believe i didn't make myself clear....i know, that i can install launcher pro or adw, but all stuff from sense is still there...dialaer, sms app, even keyboard pisses me off....i want as plain as it can be ginger - is CM7 the only way for me??

Ok. So - i have to wait for rooted gingerbread...meanwhile i'll read something more about CM7. On g1 and CM5/6 i had a lot of stability and performance issues such as problems with g-sensor, touch display hangs etc., thats why i'm trying not to apply this rom....but.....SENSE UI is horrible....i think in a few days i will perform upgrade to cm7 to see what it's worth!

Once again - thanks for reply

You cannot compare the G1 cm5/6 experience to the G2 cm6/7 experience. I also had the G1. It was a great phone in its time. It did not have the hardware to run those roms properly though. It is a testament to the cm team that we even had it to begin with. The G2, however, is perfectly capable of handling these roms and does so exceptionally.

My wife has a G2 as well. She keeps hers stock. At times, I grab her phone in the car to pull up maps or something. It is immediately apperant the difference in the feel of the phone. My phone running cm7 rc4 is noticably smoother and faster.

I think that if you give cm7 a go, you will not be disappointed.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LisaBham:
I am in 3588 ( I was able to update before the OTA went down). No, I don't get an error message, it just shoots me to a webpage that states that the website requires a plugin that isn't compatible with my device.

Something else I noticed... although the flash application is showing up when I go into the system, and look for installed applications, it doesn't show up as an icon when I pull up the screen that shows all the applications.

I know it was working when I first got my tablet, and even after I did the OTA update.

Another odd thing (not sure if it is related) You Tube works as long as I am not logged into the website under my You Tube account, but it stops working if I log in. It will work again, if I log out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Butch1326:
See if common flash sites like CNN or ESPN3 work. If flash works on these sites, then the particular site you are trying to use is looking for a specific flash plug-in, such as the one used by IE and desktops. Sites such as Hulu and Fancast are looking for the Adobe Flash desktop plug-in.

There is a hack that will fake these sites in thinking you have the desktop version. Information about the hack can be found in this thread:

As for Flash not showing up in your list of apps, it only runs, say, behind the scenes. Yo won't be able to really open it up like other apps. So it's normal that you can't find it.

Oh, and if you use Dolphin or some other browsers, they sometimes have flash specific options to use flash all the time, some times, or never. So it could also be your browser not allowing the flash to play

You need to use odin to flash a stock rom. Just make sure only reboot is the only thing checked on the left side. You dont need a pit file. Just put the full rom tar in the PDA section and hit start bit make sure the phone is recognized by odin first. It will display a box that says "com x" the x will be a number. The number doesn't matter. So keep tryijng with odin its very picky and will sometimes fail for no apparent reason. Just keep trying. If it keeps failing try redownloading the tar file or use a different usb cable. Good luck
