I know this has been done quite a few times, but galaxy s2 vs. Xperia Arc?

I was set on getting SGS2 for a long time, then I saw the Arc and fell in love with how it looks. Still, SGS2 easily beats any phone in the market specs-wise. But I really don't like how it looks (same with the UI eventhough it's pretty intuitive). Was anyone in the same situation as me? What made you decide to go for SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartoi:
Probably the S2 being the superior device in like every way.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sckc23:
the UI is easily changeable so thats not a problem. i love the look of it and though its made of plastic and slightly light for my liking, you can easily get a decent case like these.

the screen, smoothness of the device and the camera are just outstanding=)

I beg your pardon??? Imagine you are on the stool, and you are heavily multitasking using the phone to read up on the latest news while losing weight. Imagine now how convenient and ergonomic the Arc would rest on your thigh with its so thoughtfully engineered arc, while SGS2 would sway and rock and probably end up in the bowl.

Arc looks sexy indeed, but it doesn't make me horny. On the other hand, SGS2 is the sex goddess. think about this way.....single core vs dual core.....which one is more attractive? 512MB ram vs 1GB ram.....which one is more appealing? 320MB internal storage vs 16gb/32gb......which one is pure sex?

Arc's camera - big suspect

Arc's main USP was the camera (Exmor or something like that). I was checking GS2 review from Eldar Murtazin. He did comparison between the SE Arc and the GS2 shots. At 100% crop, the Arc was horrible. Loss of detail, over saturation and low light/night shots were really bad. I thought that exmor thing was just a marketing gimmick. Someone said Eldar has a "soft corner" for Samsung, so take that with a grain of salt. But the Arc's photos did not look that good at all to be fair. GS2 was visibly better.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyGeko:
ive had an ARC - the reason for loss of detail is down to compression - typically the 8 and 6meg pix come out 1mb-1.5mb devs state they can or should be able to improve the pix if they sort out the compression - but still the SGS2 camera rocks!!!! i wasnt overly impressed by the arcs camera, but it is feather light, great screen and very smooth for most of the time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert2662:
I would desire HD beats arc easily on the hardware spec. SGS2 is always the choice, unless you WAN those beauty phone. But for me, I put emphasis on the performance and hardware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OHDUSER:
yea.. I know arc's camera sucks due to compression.. a 8mp pic shouldnt weight so light! sgs2 camera samples sometimes reached 3.8MB..

=/

arc with some tweaks might turn out nicely.. but still it has HUGE noise reduction problem.. it doesnt work! XD so noisy.. everywhere.. even in a sunny day..

LOL DHD better than arc?! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Arc's display AND resolution>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> htc desire HD

arc's speaker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> htc desire HD

Arc's proccessor and GPU=htc desire hd

arc's camera>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>htc desire HD...

as much as arc's camera sucks.. HTC DESIRE IS LIKE 3MP O___________o

so no.. I would NEVER take dhd on arc's... DHD is also FUGLY compared to ARC.. which is by far the most beautiful phone I have ever seen (and that is being said from a guy who ordered SGS2)

=/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonoftheMall:
I have never even considered buying the SE Arc. It has worse performance than the SGS2, worse build quality etc. Seem close between the Arc and the SGS2 camera-wise.

The only thing it has going for it is the looks, which are highly subjective.

Ever since I upgraded to Darky's 9.5 I have not been able to mount my external SD card (32GB Patriot), has anyone else got the same issue? any way to resolve?

I'm running Darky 9.5, Speedmod K13e 500hz and modem driver is XWJS8.

I'm considering going back to 9.3 (Mail client in 9.4 FC'd a lot) unless someone can tell me a work around...

I'm posting here because my post count is not high enough to post in the dev forum, have seen another 2 posts in the official Darky thread but they were ignored and I think the devs are pretty much obsessed with gingerbread so I don't hold out much hope of getting an updated Froyo darky rom...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MrRevhead:
I have recently purchased a 32A Three branded HTC Magic (Hutchinson Australian Phone Providor).

After a bit of research, I have noticed the Magic was released with 850mhz support from Rogers in Canada. Most other releases sold in the US, EU, UK etc did not support this band.

As Three roams on Telstra's 850mhz network, I was wondering if anyone who owns a Three HTC Magic can verify whether the Three version does? (I am aware the Vodafone 32B version doesn't)

If so, when I plan to root the phone and load a new ROM, will I lose 850mhz support if i upgrade the Radio firmware?

If that is the case, what is the best and/or newest Radio I can use on the HTC Magic that supports 850mhz? (as I need the ability to roam).

Eventually I would like to try one of the Gingerbread or at least Froyo releases on it.

Any advice is appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A500] Slowie911:
to get AD-Hoc working you first need root and either root explorer (paid app but worth the money) or es file explorer (free but you have to enable root privaleges inside the app. its under the settings menu)

1. navigate to system/bin and copy wpa_supplicant

2. past this to your sd card as a backup

3. rename wpa_supplicant to wpa_supplicant.old

4. extract the file from the download and past it into the system/bin folder. (should be wpa_supplicant)

4. Long press on the file once copied

6. select Permissions and set to User: RWE, Group & Others:RE only

[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Hi. If you are certain that you are rooted, all that you should need to do is mount the drive as R/W. If you are using Root Explorer, be sure to mount as R/W using that little button at the top above the files list before you try to edit anything.

If you aren't using Root Explorer and don't want to buy it it is possible to find free apps that mount and unmount the storage as R/W. Then you can use the free file browser of your choice. It's been a while since I've used anything like that so if that's the route that you want to take just do a quick Market search. I recommend just buying Root Explorer tho. Much more simple.

Good Luck.

I just bought an Iconia with stock HC3.0 and I applied the fix and it worked great. However, over the weekend, I did an OTA update which upgraded the HC version to 3.1 and it appears the file was over-written. I copied it back and now I get an error when turning on Wifi. If I put the original back, wifi works but no ad-hoc.

Is there a new fix for this?

EDIT: My bad, I forgot to change the permissions. Works great now!
[Acer Iconia A500] CakemixA500:
Here's what I've done

Ok, steps I've taken so far...

1. Used iconiaroot to root into my Acer a500.

2. Got superuser

3. Using Root Explorer I set it to r/w

4. Tried to copy/paste wpa_supplicant in system/bin directory to sdcard. Nothing happened.

5. Successfully renamed wpa_supplicant to wpa_supplicant.old

6. Tried to copy the extracted wpa_supplicant from sdcard to system/bin and paste it there. Doesn't paste.

I am rooted and have superuser authority on the a500. The file system is set to r/w, but i can't copy/paste back and forth from the a500 to the sdcard and vice versa. Did I miss a step somewhere along the way? I know I am sooooo close to getting this finished, but I don't know where else to go.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
This probably isn't it, but I've had something like this happen when I tried to "cut" then paste. You say copy paste, so again, my little response is probably irrelevant.
[Acer Iconia A500] CakemixA500:
In Root Explorer I don't see a "cut", only "copy". I just want to back up the original wpa_supplicant to the sdcard and replace it with the one downloaded from here. The problem is that it isn't letting me do this. I can copy, move, and paste so long as it's only on the sdcard, but moving files from the sdcard to the system/bin directory on the a500 doesn't happen. This is what is confusing the hell out of me.

Even as superuser with the file system set as r/w (not r/o) I am unable to move files from the sdcard to the a500 file system. Any suggestions? Perhaps another file manager?

A little bit of an old topic, however my A500 connects to my Samsung T-959 (T-Mobile Vibrant) with no issues using the Mobile AP feature built in to Team Whiskey's Bionix V2 rom. I think that feature is actually there even on the stock OTA 2.2 rom.

Only thing i would think this would help with is connecting to an AD-Hc connection such as a laptop or PC allowing wireless internet connection sharing. The A500 connects to Mobile AP's with no issues. Maybe check to see if your phone supports mobile AP.
