Today we have something special for YOU!

A tutorial on how to own MP3s as email and SMS tone used on the OMNIA 7!

It should go well with other devices, if you have a suitable registry editor!

Please note: Any changes to this device is at your own risk. Your device you can not "destroy", but may choose one or the other wrong attitude. In the worst case, you have to reset the device! But if you just stick to the guide, can not go wrong!

Requirement is, as always, an open phone, meaning Jailbreak must be present.

First you should know how to create your own ringtones (and on his Samsung device starrs)

-> This explanation can be found here -> http://dotconn.de/main/homebrew/tutorial-eigene-klingeltone/

You must, after your have your wish tone on the phone, simply visit ahead and follow every step.

Tip: Please rename the ringtones only briefly, since the name will be entered later in the Registry must!

Instructions:

1. Create e-mail for only a wma which is then email.wma

2. create them then as in the tutorial (http://dotconn.de/main/homebrew/tutorial-eigene-klingeltone/)

3. Xap was created after the file, rename file -> should then also best email.xap loud (we will present here have 2 sounds available for download, once and for email sms.xap post.xap)

SMS

EMAIL

4. Next, your root WP7 Tools 0.1 alpha requires that you get from the forum of XDADevelopers (thx to Heathcliff74 for this nice homebrew)

WP7 Root Tools

5. from there you must you download the xap, if you have them you play them on your mobile phone

Any changes made to the registry, are of course at your own risk!

7. Next, you seek on your phone, the icon Root WP7 tools and opens it

-> It should open directly in the registry, look you now have 3 folders that you choose now

CURRENT USER

BE IN CONTROL PANEL!

8. Now you are looking after SOUNDS folder, where you find all the sounds change as you can. I'll show times now the example of the email sounds.

9th she's now on e-mail in that folder you will find a file heist the sound, this includes the path for the sound files that we will change now by clicking on the file, here we have to change the Value Data entry, this should be in our case, if you've been playing our sound file look like this

this is the old value:

The new value should look like this: \ My Documents \ My Ringtones \ post.wma

10. After you have changed the entry you must press the Enter button, then click the save icon that looks like a floppy disk, you should have heard our sound you post if you get a new email

11. You can do the same now with all the other sounds, but use the observed changes everything your own risk, here is the change in tone for SMS

12th examined her now under CURRENT USER / CONTROL PANEL / SOUNDS / SMS there now if you change your back the sound file have taken sms.xap of us to make the sound file the following entry to

\ My Documents \ My Ringtones \ sms.wma

End!

Hi All,

Just spent few hours with my ACR (silver) :D

just have some concerns & suggestions:

1. The back of the phone is very slippery.

Suggestion: Just purchase a transparent case from Sony shop :)

2. NOT able to play various video files using arcMedia, is there any solution?? These files were working on my X10i.

3. Facebook contact pics are blurred during call, any solution??
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
There's lots of Video players on the market that will play other formats.. someone was suggesting vplayer in a thread I read the other day, but all my vids are mp4 so I don't have a problem..

Facebook stores the pics at low res so when the phone syncs your contact pics to your phone then you get a low res pic.. nothing you can do about that other than putting your own contact pics on there..
[Xperia Arc General] kaisan1:
mobo player, rock player both can play any known video format

1. If you press the home button while charging + screen off, nothing happened and got your phone to show a blank screen and you need to release the battery.

2. HEAT PROBLEM! My old X10i with 9 background application is more cooler than this thing, hope next update from SE solve this problem.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
I have none of those problems till now :o

Only the extreme washed out screen when the angle is not direct is a little disturbing but I think it's normal to be shocked when coming from Amoled to LCD

After reboot the device has a date:

Anyone have wifi issues? It will say it is connected but when i go to use any program that requires the internet, it says network issues and to try again. Anything I can do?
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Well are you sure the wiFi itself is OK?
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
I'm having

Message problems long time for the message to come on then have to do a reboot, and sometimes I can't make a call or sms again have to reboot?

I noticed a problem recently. my arc cant keep custom notifications! After reboot it goes back to default sounds. Zedge doesnt even work. Im on 2.3.3 NA generic using my x10 16gb SD

thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
I have an issue (?) though I don't know what is the designed behaviour.

So when I get a notification about new FB messages, when I go to notifications and click it, it just disappears, not leading to FB app.

Is that normal?

Have you tried to reset with 'Settings reset' from Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Settings reset

it might help, if not try the Factory reset... though bare in mind that it will erase all data on the phone.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazzleroid:
Hi all, just got the phone a few days ago. love it, updated to 2.3.3, all looking fine. not too bothered about time scape but I have it on.

my set up seems to be working fine although ive read quite a lot here and have learnt a lot. thank you.

I currently have data set to off and turn it on via stock menu when I want too. I swear by adoa task and file manager. The task manager auto ends processes and battery life has dramatically improved. does everyone else have processes restart by themselves, ive been reading and this looks like a firmware. 31 processes/running without starting!!!! anyone else having this issue/ found solution?

I used software called handbrake to convert movie files, found a how to guide through knowyourcell, worked well Will find and post link if peeps can't find it. saved vids in downloads and they appear in gallery fine.

is sonys media software any good, the one that opens up on pc companion?
[Xperia Arc General] Super Chimp:
As I reported before I am still getting lag on my Arc, though I have managed to improve the situation it's still a big issue on the messaging app which can take about 60-90 seconds to open. It's particularly an issue on the first time of opening each day.

Annoying issue, my sim locks every few hours. Restart didn't help.

Guys I was using ProfiMail last 5 years considering this as the best mail client.

I used this on Symbian UIQ, WindowsMobile and now Android.

Unfortunately I was forced to change my view because this app performs major problems!

It DELETES whole accounts and emails randomly, right after freeze!

So if you don't make any backup and really trust the app you may have serious problems.

My advice is TO NOT TO BUY this app. If you HAVE to or already use one - make backup!!!

I am slowly resigning and switching to SE Arc default email which appears to be really nice!!!
[Xperia Arc General] Dazzleroid:
mine is running fine. I used to use handscent on my cynagen magic...that used to lag everytime. the stock messaging app is good on the arc, find no reason to install one.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
One of the great ProfiMail advantages is that while set as POP3 account it still deletes emails when deleted from the phone. On default email app all the emails stay on server. Otherwise inbuild email app is great.
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
@doministry,

Change it from POP3 settings to IMAP.

Using IMAP, when you delete it from your phone, it also gets deleted from the servers. Even your sent items are synced to the server.

POP3 is just like how you said. What you delete from your phone only disappears from your phone and is still present in the server. Moreover, emails sent from the phone are only visible in the phone and not in the server.

Does anyone know how I can sort the adressbook by surnames?

This is really annoying...
[Xperia Arc General] karthik.chopper:
hey guys, can anyone with 32gb memory card in their arc help me out with this???

I got a 32gig class 4 card and after the update the booting time is now nearly 85 seconds.... is it normal???? 10gigs filled up with nearly 400 songs in the card and a few movies... if that helps a bit

and even after the update, after each boot, the placements of the icons in the menu gets misplaced, especially after the fourth screen (i have 7-8 of them)
[Xperia Arc General] gork1975:
Hi.

For sorting by surnames i am using an app called "DW Kontakte"

There is a free Version in the german market which works great for me.

P.S. In the free version you have to change most settings over indirections, the "quicksettings" in this app only works in pay version.

Greets,

Marco
[Xperia Arc General] soulskinner:
Perfect! I bought it immediately. Works great, thank you very much for your help!! :-)
[Xperia Arc General] Mercano:
Hello mates.

I have a very annoying issue with my Arc.

When I call someone, there is no typical ringing sound. The timer starts counting (the called person answers the call), but there is no voice on either side. Then of course I end the call, but the phone is lagging like hell! If I try to type the number in the dialer, it takes 5 seconds to register a number.

Then I restart the phone and it works OK for a little time, then the problems are back.

It is so annoying that one day I will throw the phone with all my power against the wall.

This issue started a week ago, yesterday I made the update through Pc companion, but the issue remains.

I hope it is only my sim card getting a bit "weak" and should be replaced?
[Xperia Arc General] Mercano:
Well, it turns out the problem was in my ringtone file. It was somehow corrupted and that was the reason the phone almosted hanged when someone called me.

Everything working fine now, love my arc.
[Xperia Arc General] redguyz:
It's definitely needed to improve bluetooth drivers. Lot of missing profiles: Serial port (SPP), Human Interface Device (HID) etc. Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) is simply horrible. Low music volume with lack of bass sound, great distortion at high volume level are just a few. For music I'm going back to my SE G705 with slightly modified acoustics. :-) Its sound is at least 10x times better when using with MW600. It has support for track name on MW600 display also. Not talking about that it has more BT profiles: SPP, HID, PAN... etc. etc. My opinion is that SE guys must impove the quality and quantity of bluetooth drivers. Not to rely on Android's only.

Can't wait more, need to root

Hi Guys,

I am trying to ROOT my Xperia 2.3.3, but I m not able to do so.

I checked this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115542

But I am not able to flash, tried both these Flashtools.

FlashTool_0.2.8.0.exe

FlashTool_0.2.9.1.exe

With the 1st one I am not getting any options for Xperia Arc

With the 2nd one, it recognizes my device but when I click on Flash, no detail appears on the pop-up window!!!

Please suggest, How to proceed??
[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
Thanks!! it worked...but now m having another trouble..

Now m having problem with INTERNAL MEMORY..

I am already using Move2SD app & when I checked internal memory using DiskUsage, its showing SystemData as 154MB? Whats the problem ??

When I am trying to Move to SD Card, sometimes 'Failed to move app' pop-up is coming..

Also I am getting lots of Force Close messages !!! Its really annoying :(
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
I've ever got this problem too, the main problem maybe electrical voltage is higher than it should be. This happen usually when I'm not using stock usb cable to transfer files or for charging, or when I'm using charger from different model phone.

what`s about this http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/85440#85440!!!??

I have rooted my arc following the process on here. Now the quality of pictures seems to be not as good as it was before. Is this due to the different firmware?

Nope, bog standard SE firmware running 2.3.3 UK version.

So far I noticed only the wireless issue, data transfer stops right in the middle of being used by some application but the wireless connection icon is in the status bar.

Disabling and re-enabling the wireless fixes this.

Same answer. For business use I remember the last name of my contacts not always their First name except Mr and Mrs).
