You could get a baby seat for it and strap it in the back?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Webstarr:
Is this for an otterbox?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Luap9:
No its not. I bought that dealextreme mount and don't recommend it. It snaps on quite tightly to the S2 screen and could cause scratches (maybe if you have a screen protector it will be OK).

However I have this one from utimate addons and its very good.

The downside is the battery will only last for rides up to +/- 1.5 hours. so you'll need a modified charging cable and an external battery.

Concerning dust and water like you asked for the OtterBox from Otterbox*com (sorry, I am not allowed to post external links) should be a good decission. And using a RAMmount solution for it. Look for waterproof cases on the website.

its not mobil specific so you can use it for different mobiles and it is extremely shock absorband and water- (100 feet ;) ) and dustproof.

You can use it in conjunction with a mobile specifiy shock absorband case from otterbox if you like so you get extremely good protection for it for mountainbiking.

I dont know if it's rooted or not and get a mixture or errors when I try to install a rom inc error 140.

The phone info is :

BRAVO PVT2 SHIP S-on

I have tried to use stock and also non stock roms via desktop and also via 2GB SD card.

If I click on recovery it just hangs on white screen again.

I have read this and many forums for the last week so please only reply if you can help.

The stock rom should be Vodafone UK.

Hi,

I don't keep hitting simlock that was just for information for my question.

I have tried :

I have also tried two other roms using the memory stick and as PB99IMG

Nick
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Did you make a goldcard - for the PB99IMG.zip method?

Strange, but if it's Vodafone branded, the first should work.

Hi Dave,

I never got the chance to make a goldcard as the phone came through like this.

A long shot - but might worth trying - given the fact that the CID is requested by a RUU when trying to install on a branded phone, you can un-brand your phone, then try a generic RUU. Read here how to un-brand your Desire.

Been trying some Gingerbread with Sense 2.1 roms

Just wondering if its possible to disable the recent apps list in the notification area?

It kinda bugs me, its not very pretty, and holding the home button does this anyway.

I've tried to searching for this but cant find any info, maybe I'm the only one it bugs.

Also which png do I need to edit for the notification area background?

Not major issues just little things.

In dark rooms you'll get problems with almost every mobile-cam.

To get good pictures in a dark room without flash you have to buy a good cam.

I have LauncherPro installed and it seems that when I scroll, I would launch apps on accident.

How I scroll is a fast flick followed by a "brake" by holding the screen.

However, apps seems to be launched as a result.

Anyway to adjust the sensitivity of launches?

I also noticed this with LauncherPro.. especially if you use the experimental 3D app drawer... would suggest you to try ADW Launcher, much better imho. :)
[Xperia Arc General] iead1:
I'm not sure I know what you mean by "laggy"? I've got 8 or 9 widgets on my homescreen, phone still runs like it did out of the box. It's incredibly fast, I've had uptimes longer than you've owned the phone, and most of all, it works very well as a phone. The phone has 512MB of RAM, which means it runs smoothly and there's rarely any lag unless you're doing too many things in the background.

As for the battery door problem, my only comment is "I don't know what you're talking about." Camera button? Works fine for me, and I have a silicone shell over the button. If you're going to complain about a button, I'd recommend the awful power button. It's my biggest complaint about the phone.
[Xperia Arc General] osnola ivax:
Definitely agree on the creaky battery cover. Really detracts from the overall feel of the phone.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I updated my initial post to explain what I mean by laggy.

I don't mean it's so slow to get annoying. It only felt laggy compared to what I experienced with GSII. At times, I find it gets annoying when the dialer takes almost couple of seconds to load or SMS shows blank blue screen for almost 4-6 seconds. At that time, if I restart my phone it performs better. I stopped using Live wallpapers hoping it will help phone perform better. I remember the performance was not like this when i played with the stock ROM. I am not sure if playing with whatsapp screw'd up something. I will try to reflash and see how it behaves.
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
I happen to own a LG Optimus 2x as well, if you want a phone fast like hell, just grab that one. Still I using my arc more as I love the design and colours better than on the LG.

After I deleted all the crap I don't use using titanium backup my Arc doesn't feel that laggy anymore, try that too....but still...the LG is faster...

Further on I do think both are great phones, but I wish there were more devs in the Arc section. At the LG section there are very good roms available. I know I shouldn't complain when I am unable to make something myself, but I just miss some nice roms I can try on my Arc.

Before getting another phone, just search here on the forum for complaints, I think in every section at XDA on every phone you will find some cons. It's just to decide which con is important for you...
[Xperia Arc General] hush66:
I hate the small power button as well. But since I use Widgetsoid and there is Lock Screen option, I never had to use the button (except to reboot, which I seldom do).
[Xperia Arc General] hush66:
I am aware of that but I am afraid that I may accidentally hit the option, causing my phone to reboot when I had no intention to do so. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
I have 9 screens & 21 widgets & phone is as fast as it was out of box.. Rooted & removed crap apps though :) I can't compare it with SGS2 as i don't own it, but SGS2 ca be faster (due to memory & dua core) but Arc is not laggy :)
[Xperia Arc General] noxlord:
There is a "what can we remove" thread here. It's a good start but there can also be other reasons for laggyness.

Removing programs you don't use and clear unused programs data and killing non-active tasks can speedup you phone, sometimes :P
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
I haven't had such "lag" issues.

Maybe you removed something that affected phone aswell.
[Xperia Arc General] whocancatchme:
I come from an iphone 4 and sometimes i found the phone a bit laggy but overall it's a great phone and i love the screen so much ! And i'm glad to finally haver something that note everybody have.
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
Yeah, this is something good to brag about! Plus, there isnt any phone that captures better pictures than arc!
[Xperia Arc General] whocancatchme:
Sorry double post
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I just re-flashed the stock ROM and the phone flies:D. I am going to first root it and remove lot of crap I don't need and then install one app a day to see which one made things 'a little' laggy.

I also suspect if having high quality images for contacts might be the culprit. I remember I had that problem with X10. If SE is scaling down the resolution when it crops, that shouldn't be a problem.
[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
Could it be possible that you are using a slow SD card? I use a class 6 16GB and dont have too much of a lag.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I am using whatever came with Arc. I didn't check the class but it is 16GB card.
[Xperia Arc General] oXunknownXo:
Class 2, the lowest:D
[Xperia Arc General] whocancatchme:
By the way how can we know the class we had of mscard ?
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Very unlikely to be the cause. Class of an SD card really only affects how fast you can write to it, read speeds are generally extremely fast regardless of class.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
didnt you say on a previous thread that you pressed too hard on the battery while applying a full film protection. (dont think this is a SE problem)

get a new battery cover , mine is flawless (i stick with stock roms and dont put BS on the phone)

flash other stock roms and choose which one you like the performance of.

wish you the best
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
My friend got the Roger's Arc and he has the same problem. That's when I figured mine is not from applying the full body screen protector. I have plans to try out those ebay OEM covers as I need to replace the docomo cover. I hope that will solve the issue.

I am with stock ROM LT15a. I installed the same apps, widgets on both GSII and arc and I thought Arc acted a little slow when moving between home screens, dialer, contacts, and SMS. But, if I repeat the same again it will be fast as the data was probably cached. Now, i re-flashed the ROM with no apps, and there is no lag at all. I guess, some app/widget I installed probably caused the lag on Arc while nothing on GSII.

Anyway, I still prefer my Arc over anything out there and frankly I don't even need most of the apps I install.

I will install one app every few days and see which one is causing the slowness.
[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
Thats not true, if the apps are installed to the SD card the read/write combination could slow things down.

See the attached image, its the number "2" in the circle. The lower the slower. http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc
[Xperia Arc General] blueblood619:
3 days into my phone and I am starting to wonder wether the arc is worth it..I bought it mainly because I thought it had a great camera but the zooming option and video lagging is letting me down..Might change to HTC
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
This could be the problem or me. I completely forgot about it. I moved some of my apps/widgets to sdcard. Not sure which one's. I didn't do that for GSII as I didn't even use sdcard in it as it has 16GB internal.

[Xperia Arc General] krycho:
Today I bought Arc, I was almost 11 years Nokia user. I'd like to buy Nokia N8, but I decided to try Arc. I will give you my comments after a few weeks of use.

PS. Is it possible to have profiles like in Nokia? I mean sound profiles?
[Xperia Arc General] KQ17:
I disagree. The N8 is a sexy device.

After a couple days with the Arc, on the negative side, there's the power button, the ultra poor viewing angles of thw screen. I honestly prefered the Super AMOLED on my Captivate. Also, there's things I miss UI wise like having some controls when the notification bar was pulled down(GPS, rotation lock, wi-fi, Bluetooth) or having music player controls on the lock screen. Also, no task manager...

On the positive side, screen, when looked with the right angle, is sexy and so is the device. I love how light it is even though it removes a bit of that solidity feel. I love the keyboard, love how snappy the device is. Camera is also very good.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I really don't get this "viewing angles" crap... how are you people using your phone? apart from anything else.. the viewing angles on my phone is ok.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Yeah WTF is with these angles. What a silly thing. Are you using your phone looking from sides?
[Xperia Arc General] krycho:
Me too. I don't get the viewing angles problem :)
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
http://www.cnet.com.au/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-339308508.htm
[Xperia Arc General] solidkevin:
what the f*ck is with people complaining about "viewing angles"? People will literally complain about anything, last time I checked I only look at my phone one way and thats looking STRAIGHT at it, not from the side, bottom, or top. So what exactly is the point of these "better viewing angles"? Nothing.
[Xperia Arc General] KQ17:
Well, because there is situations where you're not using it straight in front of your eyes...
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I don't get it too. It's not like a whole bunch of people sitting around the phone and watching something on it :)
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Can you give us some examples of these situations please? :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Phone is in charge and screen is on and phone is on the your desk while you are typing this message and you can see the screen in angle, and you feel what a beautiful screen this sexy phone has. That is "THE" situation.
[Xperia Arc General] KQ17:
More like when I'm in my bed and I don't want to hold it, well, if I'm a bit off, I'll immediately notice. Anyway, it's not a big issue so you guys can calm down lol
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:

BTW, are you Japanese? I have seen Arcs in two Japanese series this season, haha
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Only if youre using 'full' apps2sd, i.e. the root-only version. I would agree that if youre using this then it's well worth buying a fast microsd card.

If youre using android's built-in apps2sd, then data is still stored on the phone's internal memory (unless of course the app stored its data on SD anyway).
[Xperia Arc General] KQ17:
They're still pretty poor compared to Super AMOLED and Retina Display, no matter how you cut it. It doesn't take much away from the phone and to be honest, I'm starting to get used to the colors produced by this screen and yes, very pretty. Anyway, who cares, it was just an observation, something that hit me, coming from a Captivate.
[Xperia Arc General] devjadeja:
My Bro has 40 After Market Apps installed on ARC and still its Butter smooth.

He uses Task Killer though everyday for using all those apps frequently but otherwise its Working Lag Free :)

I think u gotta Use it Wisely and one should have good Knowledge of Androids OS then it will work wonders
[Xperia Arc General] osnola ivax:
I have also been using the arc now for about 2 weeks and I have to say I beginning to like it more and more all the time. The look, the SE launcher and widgets (bar timescape), the camera but most of all - the screen, its brilliant to be able to use it in direct sunlight without any difficulty whatsoever
[Xperia Arc General] Nankov:
Ok ive seen enough wining in here so i gotta come in, wtf did you people expect from this phone? Personaly this phone is amazing to me, camera is great, sound is amazing, screen is really gorgeous (a lot better than samoled) so sharp, the device is made to be thin that is why all these issues you have, small power button camera button etc, anyway that is crap every phone has issues and lots of them, the thing is to find the one that you can live with, go check the sgs2 forums and see how many people are complaining... go to any forum and see, i am a perfectionist in many ways and ocd comes in often trust me i know a lot about every device that is on a top of the line smartphone, i read day after day forums reviews and then i go to play in person with the ones that seem good and trust me there is always lots of cons, me i find that with SE i have a perfectly balanced product with a little from everything that is important plus quality. And about lag wtf are you talking bout go play with sgs 2 and explain to me why it lags twice as much as the arc regardless that is twice the cpu and ram? btw i rarely get any lag with tons of widgets and apps. Really ive tried every smartphone out there well the ones on top anyway and they all have issues that i cant cope with, especially the Samsungs and HTC's. Samsung: Crappy build quality, samoled screens are a joke..screen burn in is one of the big problems and then lines in the screen etc apart from the unrealistic oversaturated colors, then crappy camera and weird random laggs and reboots all the time with all samsungs..cant take that. Htc: crappy everything except sence, camera, sound, build quality everything is cheap, dust under screen on almost every HTC ihave tried,misaligned parts, sound is terrible, small batteries etc..go check it out for yourself and you will see the Arcs or SE's devices in a better way. O and thinking about it SE gave us what we really wanted, seeing that most companies started to lock their bootloaders like HTC, SE the hardest company to crack any of their products gave us an unlocked bootloader..
[Xperia Arc General] KQ17:
What? We can't have opinions? It's not a perfect phone but nobody implied that there is a perfect phone on the market and that the arc sucked. Personally, the more I use it, the more I like it.

Unless you work for SE, you shouldn't get too worked up over simple opinions and about what people noticed. Plus, it makes me laugh that you have to bash every company to prove your point... Did you forget to bash LG? :D
[Xperia Arc General] Karooluss:
After month of use I can say: that its a good device, not excellent because such as doesnt exist:-) after rooting and removing some rubbish, it stopped draining the battery, that eliminate the worst point of this phone. Now I have very fast device, without lags, with good camera, multimedia ect, ect:-) what might be better are the used components... in fact the phone is very smart and beautiful, but it really likes scratches...as I said before, the perfect device doesnt exist, and its unreal to have everything:-)
