Only $4? I will keep my phone locked then ...lol

Acro is nice, I agree but its thick. My X10 is like Acro(nah I am kidding) but NFC, whoooo, I pass for now.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
hey guys ,

happy you got it , i just contacted the guy from india for credits and he is now saying $50. I told him i got it before for 30 and he says i dont keep record . let me know if u guys get i deal , im gonna start unlocking when i get home . it shouldnt take a minute, and dont forget to show us your phones pictures with the 3G so we can celebrate.

there is a way to get the unlock code screen as confirmed by user Morita0107, by simply flashing the LT15i rom or LT15a. but even if we get the unlock code screen , i dont think there are unlock code providers that are quick.

i contacted Morita0107 but he hasnt responded as i asked him where you got the code from.

i paid once for this website

http://Simlock24.pl

http://Sim-Unlock.net

and this is what they shocked me with after i paid $50

on our website is the information:

"Time to wait for unlock code for Sony-Ericsson phones from any network is 7 to 14 working days."

i told them to cancel the order and found ezSEMC later on that day.

im angry with the 20 dollar increase , but im going with it and buying its ease and simplicity. after all im paying $50 for gas why cant i pay for my pleasure with the arc. lol

i hope this thing works for rogers xperia or else they r gonna have to wait for some other way.

dont forget ur pictures
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I should thank you here for helping us (ones who bought this phone) to get it and sharing your experience. I wish I could pay the $50 in two installments of $5 and $0 and I would pay it easier.

anyways,

I am getting mine tomorrow lets hope that unlocking issues has been resolved by then.

Cheers,
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
you mean the price issue for unlocking . lool

glad to hear you got your tracking number, now you can celebrate with us drinking our tea that we got.

i told you would get it early and not have to freak out
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
well said

no more waiting for Sony Ericsson USA or Rogers next year. Japan even gets it before anywhere else , so now we can get it before european dudes :)

and from now on all Docomo phones will be unlocked so we wont even have to worry about unlocking next years xperia.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
If you are getting Xperia Arc and not freaking out then you are sick.... :D

So everyone got a tea bag.Oh, forgot to tell you, I sent an email to him using Google translator... Haha, I guess 30 minutes later he email me with tracking number and I was sleeping.

Who is the other person getting his arc tomorrow. I know its silver.;)

Just to let everyone know here that we are still in good shape considering pricing if you would get it from Rogers.canada.

It would have cost you $650 pur phone + ebay fees + paypal fees+ shipping fees + seller money making fees would be very close to &800.

This Mr. @ Japan has provided superior service with next day delivery which cost $180 by itself.

God bless him.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
well said again :)
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
There is no unlocking issue. I did encounter a couple of "things" that I will point out here:

- head over to this link (http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12200) and pay the man.

- you'll receive an email with instruction on where to download the required software, instructions and user id & pw.

*first "thing": i couldn't enter the user ID i got completely into the unlocking software. contacted the HTCC guy and he sent me another set which worked perfectly. so if you do see similar issue, just contact them, they are very helpful!

- my first unlocking attempt ended in "failed".

*second "thing": i contacted the HTCC guy again, and he said i need to disable all firewall (hardware/software/windows). after that, the program unlocked my phone in less than 2 min.

So there you go. Unlocked!!! And 3G working on AT&T thanks to Nimche.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
BTW, if anyone wants that NA Lt15a ROM its here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042963

I thought I should dump the link here to prevent wasting time for searching for the thread.
[Xperia Arc General] rajeshr:
I was about to pull the trigger on this, until I realized that I could pick up the same phone from Rogers in two days for a lot less than the $770. So, now I have a pre-order for pickup on Thursday!!! :D
[Xperia Arc General] rajeshr:
Does this give you a code that you enter on your phone? Or does it unlock via cable?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
If you live there then for sure. I got $77 back on ebay credit which I can spent on an ebay item, For $693 this is really good for me.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
On the same day that I got arc and unlocked, my co-worker also got his new iPhone. When he first turned it on, I couldn't help it but to use the new arc to take a picture of what his iPhone shows on the screen. :D
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
It uses cable. After searching around, the problem is not that you can't buy an unlock code, the problem is the SO-01C does not pop up a window that allows you to enter the unlock code.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Well, some folks said that if you flash a LT15a or LT15i rom on it then its possible to get the unlock code.

Did you finally unlock it? details would be nice.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Yeah, I did unlock it successfully using the method alasqr recommended (ezSEMC). Here is what I had posted earlier:

I have seen another thread where you could flash to the global stock ROM which should ask you for unlock code when a different sim is inserted. I just didn't want to go through that and did what alasqr confirmed would work. You guys have been extremely helpful, so anything you need, just ask.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
alsaqr, thanks again for all the detailed information about SO-01C being compatible with AT&T. Thanks to istyle1129 about the tip about turning off Firewall during the unlocking process.

HOLY COW! This phone looks way better outside than in pictures. I can't believe Engadget called this a photogenic phone. Biased id****.

I used the htccode.com for unlocking and paid $46 for it. I got the unlocking information posted here in about 2 mins after payment.

Had unlocking issues but the post by istyle1129. I Turned off the firewall for both my Verizon FIOS router and Windows and boom it worked.

Some pictures I posted of my unpacking on Flickr.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Your phone :D J.K.

Did you also pay $50?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
no one does!

Its funny that you have also X10 in white. Me too.

When I had the blue arc (Mr. finger print tracer) it was really nice but in photo wasn't as nice. I should totally agree with you on that.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Hahaha.

Yes, I paid $50. While it does cost a little more than what other stores are charging, I figure the service I got from them was excellent. So I am happy with it. And so far, this is what I see that is confirmed to work. And two other stores that I contacted simply said no.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Glad to help. Good to see you took the screen protector off as well. Couldn't stand a buddy of mine that will only remove the screen protector after a year or so... :confused: You buy something because you want to fully appreciate it right?

But at the same time, I guess some ppl want to make sure they maintain the highest resell value. Not me!!!!! :p
[Xperia Arc General] Imdking:
This beast is looking good indeed! Liking th silver so far. But can somebody post pictures of the blue? Ful pictures, if you can avoid the thumbnails. Viewing from my white X10a, so can't enlarge thumbnails. Thanx.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
you had the choice to either go with ebay 770 or paypal 720 some got it for 694.

they are both great prices, so please dont spoil our fun.

if you are in canada you can go get it for $650 without ebay fees or paypal or seller profits. but for us in the u.s. this is great and we have got our devices with 3G.

good luck on unlocking rogers
[Xperia Arc General] rajeshr:
Yeah, I also thought the DoCoMo ones were bootlaoder unlockable which is why I was keen on them. When I realized they weren't, I decided to stay with the Rogers version.

BTW, thanks for all your help too!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Unfortunately all sim-locked devices aren't bootloader unlockable
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
wooooooooooooooow

beautiful photos guys . yaaaaaaaaaaa show them the 3G working . glad to see everything working out. mine is still in the box . waiting for the username and password for ezSEMC. he only gave a $5 discount. but as i said its worth it as its so simple and you dont have to be a genius to do it.

i will post my pictures later
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I am happy with the Japanese stock ROM. Just removed all Japanese apps from the home screens and installed all my favorite apps. I am having issue with Swype though. Anyone successfully installed Swype with the Japanese Stock ROM? Currently, I am using SwiftKey I got for free from Amazon appstore.
[Xperia Arc General] Photophobia:
I hope I am that person! I ordered over the weekend so it sounds like a possibility, but I don't yet have a tracking number to be sure.

On the subject of soft unlocking, Docomo has at least a couple "stores" in the US (SoCal,NYC). Does anyone know if these shops should, at least in theory, be able to do the unlock (possibly for that 3150 yen fee)? I went to the NYC store this evening but the person working the counter was new, alone, and had no idea what I was talking about. So, I will be trying again once I have the phone unless this is a well-known dead end.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
just do the unlocking with the software, they will still not have a clue tomorrow.but it wont harm to try if they are near you.

contact the seller

just write " Tracking number please"
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
thanks for the LT15a rom

if it wasnt for you we would have never gotten the unbranded rom.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
and if it wasn't for you, I would never thought to get a Docomo version of arc for less.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Tether?

Now that some of us have already gotten the phone unlocked, where is the tether option? Did Docomo remove this capability from the phone (I kept the original ROM).

Maybe I'll just install Barnacle?
[Xperia Arc General] Meth3d:
You might have to try a different firmware. The LT15i had an option for tethering.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Tks. Where is the option at? Is it an app? or Under setting?
[Xperia Arc General] Meth3d:
IIRC it is under settings.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Tks again. I guess they removed the tether option after all. Now I need to root my phone :)
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
this is for alsaqr,

My package has been delayed :D Don't know yet when it will be here. hopefully soon. I should go to fedex and get refund lol for shipping of $200
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
maybe you will get the FCC call . so answer weird numbers
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Nah, it has past that part. It was on route to San Diego from Oakland but since 3 AM and nothing afterwards. Package got lost :D
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Called fedex, when it was cleared this mornign 3 am the flight was gone so my package stayed @ fedex airport. Nice :D

I was all ready to unlock it but I guess I have to wait another freaking day.

Freaking cutoms.
[Xperia Arc General] Meth3d:
My phone just arrived. It is soo beautiful.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
yes it sure is.

enjoy and dont forget to post pictures showing us your 3G working.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
ok these are my pictures showing 3G reception

also i have put pictures of how 3 colored silicone cases would look like.

1-smoked

2-Clear

3-white

i also ordered zagg full body and will show later on how it looks.
[Xperia Arc General] Meth3d:
I unlocked the phone successfully and flash it to LT15a. I set up the APN and everything is working fine. Im now getting some apps from the market.

The mini HDMI cable was not included in the box. I had the LT15i and the cable was included. Is anyone else missing that cable?
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
the blue is looking goood. congratulations. no HDMI cable but you get the 16bg memory card.

cables are 8 bucks on ebay

any difference between the LT15a rom and LT15i?

which would be a better choice

im still on the japanese rom
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
So am I the only bastard without ontime phone? I guess I am suffering from having one lt15a earlier than anyone else.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
or maybe your jinxed with customs . looool

whats the shipping status ?
[Xperia Arc General] Meth3d:
I didnt get much time to play with the Japanese rom. I think the Japanese rom has the best keyboard though. IIRC the LT15i had more social apps then the LT15a.

Karma? :)
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Congrats!!! Which color?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
This is the last status:

nah.... this is what it is. I hope it gets to San Diego and goes to local facility then I will phone and pick it up tonight or I will sleep with nightmares again tonight :D

How in the blue hell has Verizon not fixed this yet but a Dec on xda has it already working for us? Just effing pathetic. Huge thanks to rbox and whoever else was involved with this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leoingle:
Um, if you don't get harrassed by them, I will be extremely surprised.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rbox:
To leoingle, wakestrong, and all others. There is nothing for Verizon to "fix". The reason it does not work on the Thunderbolt is because it explicitly checks to see if it is running on an LTE device. At this point we do not know what their reasoning is for that. I made this mod 2 weeks ago and shared it with the OP but because it was an explicit check against LTE I didn't feel it was right to distribute it at that point.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ryanstfl:
I don't think they consider this available to everyone, because common users don't hop on XDA. Verizon is just slow.

Why? Maybe it's not accurate.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Old MuckenMire:
Thanks for this app and the work that went into it...works fantastic!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] NCX Designs:
I think the whole point Verizon didn't make one that was compatible yet was to see how much we would actually use data wise without knowing our quota, if you think about it, we are technically guinea pigs for there pricing scheme there unveiling this summer once Unlimited gets tossed out the window.

Yes we can see it on the website, but how many people are likely to keep checking the website than see it on there widget on the home screen of the device there using the data on?

Its the easiest way to see how much an avg user might use in a given time so they can make there data caps for the tiered pricing.

Truly what good would a capped LTE plan bee. Who needs blazing speeds when your capped at 5gb. Seriously once netflix comes on line and you start using more "cloud" storage services 5gb will get eaten up pretty quickly.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Beretta1526:
I just got my Tab a couple days ago and went to the Samsung site to check what they have for them and found that the vehicle charging adaptor and HDMI dock (as well as the Vehicle Mount) all show as not compatible with the WiFi only (GT-P1010) version of the Tab. Does anyone have any more information than what is shown on the Samsung website? --> "This accessory is not guaranteed to work with your Product."

Beyond that, has anyone with a WiFi GT attempted to use these accessories with their Tab?

Thanks!

.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] wex005:
The GT-P1010 works with the car adaptor.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] adamjayreid:
I think todays big news might explain the lack of HDMI compatibility. Apparently they cheaped out on the graphics chip for the WiFi only version, so I don't think the lower spec'd chip could handle the mirroring.
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
I have searched everywhere on the forums google. Here is my problem.

I bought Samsung Captivate on eBay. I needed rooted and unlocked of tmobile. Easy I thought..one click root, then unlock from the market..

First..I am NOT rooted. I have tried 2 methods. Samsung captivate root and Superoneclick. Both dont work....

Second...The sleep button wont work. When my phone goes to sleep, I press the unlock button it is still black screen. I have to plug it in the usb to wake it up...Im thinking to upgrade to FroYo from Samsung KIES.

Third. Advise?
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Are you sure it's not a hardware problem? When the phone is awake, can you hold the power button down to get the power off context menu?
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
I honestly am not sure. I just updated to 2.2 FroYo. Same problem. only way to unsleep is to plug into USB
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Try holding down the power button, does a menu come up with an option that reads 'Reboot' or 'Power Off'?
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Nothing pops up. I just installed this app called "no lock" and i use my volume rocker to unsleep out. Have any idea how to fix? Its a bit annoying.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Was it always like this even before you attempted any root method? My old cappy that had the random shutdowns only did it when it went to sleep. Would hit the unlock button and the screen remained blank. Hit it again and my phone rebooted... But apparently yours isn't shutting down. Never heard of anything like this. The lock button still puts the phone to sleep fine? And if you hold it down while its awake does that Standby, flight mode, power down menu pop up?
