Does this update fix the camera issues? Like the frame skipping issue while recording 720p and the camera app not closing properly. Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
ya really wanna know the answer for tht..
[Xperia Arc General] stiffen:
can read my post i posted a number of update, frame freeze still here after 2.3.3...
[Xperia Arc General] robiceli:
That's sad. I was hoping that the 2.3.3 update will fix these issues..oh well. I just hope there will be a fix for this in the future..

[Xperia Arc General] herasymcuk:
I had the same problem too. But i flashed my phone with the HK fw today and formatted my sd card. Now no freeze frame.... May be something with microSD...or some installed app. Belive me....many many freeze before. :confused:

I think that the camera driver got a update that doesn't make it lag anymore

Updating now - UK O2 supplied handset.
[Xperia Arc General] Karooluss:
is that branded? what is your firmware ?
[Xperia Arc General] marshalex:
Is that through the SE software or the in built handset check?
[Xperia Arc General] krycho:
So this means that 2.3.3. is coming to Europe, right?:)
[Xperia Arc General] osnola ivax:
Guys, I keep trying the "update now" option in "about phone" OTA to the phone. It seems to be having a problem establishing a connection 9 times out of 10 either over wifi or 3g. Anyone else experiencing this.
[Xperia Arc General] krycho:
Yeah, when I tried to update my phone via WiFi - the connection error occurs a few times. I tried via PC Companion - no new update available.
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
Had this yesterday, but today it worked. maybe the servers are busy. try later again
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
updating using the HK firmware? or via SEUS/ PC Companion?
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
anyone in north america get the update yet?
[Xperia Arc General] cja1972:
I have got the new update on my "Locked " orange phone in the uk just by changing the product code from 1247-1689 to 1247-1052 and changing from R7C to R9C ..using root explorer and edit in text the same way as i got the 2.1 update on my x10 previously. Yes i have got two hong kong games on it now but at least i dont have all the orange stuff they bloated the phone with.
[Xperia Arc General] keijames:
Tried 4~5 times connect via PCCW 3G network for OTA update, it said, your phone already has lastest software, but I checked, still 2.3.2 ROM.

I believe it was blocked again OR it never release update yet.

Fake !

[Xperia Arc General] bartbla:
I tried it with wifi (netherlands) and get te same result
[Xperia Arc General] kiz1983:
Only hk got the update for now, thr is nothing wrong with ur phone..
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
Got mine from Germany, unbranded, unlocked, no update when checking OTA. It's Wednesday, I would have expected to be out already.
[Xperia Arc General] keijames:
PCCW 3G network is in Hong Kong.

My phone still on 181 and no updates on 2.3.2
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Same here on South America, OTA is showing connection errors. I guess that this is due to all people with arcs are asking for a new uodate :p

Any idea when the LT15a update will be available?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
God knows. I have error on server too. Everyone is checking but no one is getting anything. I hope I see the day SE rolls out updates to all of us around the globe @ once same second,minute, hours, days

No matter what, there is someone who will suffer all the time.
[Xperia Arc General] sonicdarack:
Anyone can confirm OTA in Germany?

Will OTA wipe the phone too incl. SD-Card?
[Xperia Arc General] animboo:
network error/cannot connect to server here in the philippines as well, though the SEUS is pointing out that i have the latest firmware available now. hoping to get the roll out of update soon as well as an updated rooting method for the newest firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] Karooluss:
Maybe that is the key !!
[Xperia Arc General] cja1972:
Didn't lose any data or apps doing it this way either :-)
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
I don't think there is a OTA available in Germany. Anyways a OTA won't wipe anything it's just an update. Your files on SD card would be safe

my god!..the arc is taking forever +1 to boot up after the update!!
[Xperia Arc General] Karooluss:
Its time to check seus
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
you need to wait for a ftf flashable file so you can flash the updated rom using the flashtool
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
first boot up always takes time, do you mind providing the dump files?
[Xperia Arc General] rustynuts34:
Ok thanks for the reply I shall wait patiently bit of a different set up to my old HTC hero so im easily confused :$

[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
+1 for that! dump files please :D
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
tell me how to do it and ill do it...
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
if you used pc companion, go to the pc companion folder, and find a folder called blob_fs, and upload the largest 2 files, and a file thats 66kb, so 3 files in total

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs - thats an example of where you need to go, but it may be different for you,

and the files are soemthing like that

FILE_277196791

FILE_277838085

FILE_277838225

if you have any other questions, lemme know
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
oooooh what version is this? :D
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
i believe he said the 02 uk update
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
{Deleted content - questions already answered}

ie.... is this the UK firmware release?!?!?!?!?

Is your Arc O2 branded?
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
Ahhh man.... :(
[Xperia Arc General] marshalex:
grr generic arc non-rooted or no bootloader unlock and nothing via any of the update sources. not happy!
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
yeah mines an o2 got arc LT15i...I am not sure whether it is unlocked or not since all the sims I have at home are o2...lol
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
yeh no worries, did you find the dump files?
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
I dont have any file of the size 66kb..

the largest files are four.. all 10kb in size..and they are named ICON_276571573 etc...
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
can you take a print screen of the folder?, and i think you need to donwload the firmware again

it should bve around 66kb, and no icon file

look at the top 3 files
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
So.. SuperUTP - can you do this for me...??

Go into the phone app and type this..

*#*#7378423#*#*

You will get the service menu..

select "software info"

what does it say under Customisation version?

also - do you know what to do with the blob_fs files? have you got a dropbox account or similar to put them into ??

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
you should only need 2 files... the two largest with todays date.
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
here u go..
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
according to Andy777, he said 3, but 2 works fine though
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
did you update using seus or pc companion?
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
under customisation is says

1247-1923_R11C
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
PC companion...the date for the files under blob_fs are dated 5/5/11
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
That's correct.

The smallest file normally contains the boot loader. :)
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
your looking in the wrong folder, i think that folder you posted a screenshot belongs to SEUS, did you look inside the pc companion folder?

try looking in all the folders within the sony ericsson folder, if its not there, i think your gonna have to reinstall the firmware, so basically rtun pc companion, and let it download the firmware, and once it does, you can disconnect your phone, you dont have to update it again
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
can you again on this location?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine

Do you know wich numbers to change in the build.prop to fool seus?
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
not there anywhere apart from the the folder I mentioned..ill try doing wat u said
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
alright just hit repair on pc companion, and it should start to donwload the firmware again, thanks alot
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
no mate the files you're looking for are on this location:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs

but it's a 'hidden' folder, to see it you need to make some changes in the folderoptions
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
aha!! in the midst of everything...found the FILE_ files here..

gimme a min..ill upload them
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
bear in mind my broadband's horribly so thanks to multiple downloader..:P...was struggling keeping track of everyones post...so just give me a few minutes...i am uploading them on mediafire..

here is the first file..the 66kb one..will provide links as soon as they get uploaded..

http://www.mediafire.com/?hb722tn3p80f3kq
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
yeh no worries, make sure you uplload all 3 files, thanks
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
please dont mind my ignorance...but can someone tell me what the use of these files are???
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
these files will be used to make a flashable image so everyone else can flash the firmware rather than waiting for the update to be released, its really useful for those who have unlocked their bootloaders because they cant use SEUS or pc companipon anymore
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
second file...16MB

http://www.mediafire.com/?1z7v9zjpxga9xzi

3rd one is gonna take a while...sorry for the delay..:P

Thanks for this mate. Built a .ftf last night from the HK version, so this 'official' UK version will come in very handy...maybe Facebook Inside Xperia will work properly now the UK FW is out?!
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
I think this is a O2 branded version. I am just making a FTF file now. :D
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:

[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
One thing I have found is that flash tool doesn't decrypt the loader.sin properly
[Xperia Arc General] redesignni:
No branding on the handset or software from O2, only thing is the browser homepage is set to O2 but think thats it. I found the update via PC Companion.

New Build Number is 3.0.1.A.0.145
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
what do you mean, i made a ftf, and it works, you know how you said you need the third file, i dont think you do, because i always use 2 files and it works fine
[Xperia Arc General] redesignni:
The Facebook Inside Xperia works very well... the only thing I dont like it that it integrates ALL events from facebook into the calendar. Dunno how to turn the calendar sync off tho
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
bro can you confirm that your wifi works properly?, try downloading a large file from the market, and tell me if it disconnects or anything, i had that problem with the hong kong firmware, could be that im flashing a lt15i firmware on a LT15a devide
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
Strange, last time I made a FTF file, it required the 3rd 66~KB file to work. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] TheHurf:
You can fart about with the Calendar sync in Account and Sync settings. I've found Facebook Inside Xperia doesn't allow me to 'like' music in the stock app.

2 out of 3 ain't bad, but when it's brand new and has been pushed to phones in favour of the HD video fix, it bleedin' well should work!

My browser homepage remains the SE mobile site as mine's an unbranded phone and I did keep my userdata when flashing the new files over.
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
hmmm not sure why, i just flashed the ftf file i made right now onto my phone, everything is working fine, i uploaded it to
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
Interesting..... yours seems to have the loader.sin within the FTF image... confused.....
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
your getting me confused to LOL, are you using the latest flashtool to decrpyt the files?
[Xperia Arc General] the_slasher:
Hi guys, noob question here if I decided to accept the update what will happen to the bloatware apps that I freezed before will they comeback? or will they remain frozen and I just won't have root access. Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] TheArcane:
Question to those who already have the update: Using native FB integration, does clicking on status updates etc take you to the facebook website, like timescape, or the facebook app? (I'm guessing the former unfortunately...)

Also, any way to estimate when my phone will have the update available? I'm in Israel and my phone is from France. Which of these facts affects the update schedule?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Tigrer:
I just changed product code (system/build.prop file) in three places to 1247-1052 and R7C to R9C. Update with seus.

I have tested flashed it to my handset with no problems.

Hopefully, it shouldn't take any more then 30 mins to upload. :D
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
any bloatware?
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
The differences from the 02 firmware is the addidtion of the BBC iPlayer and a few more menus which are missing from the 02.

I am just going to test the Market to see if the missing applications are showing now.
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
few more menus as in??
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
Few more sync options, there was also a extra menu under Sony Ericsson in settings that I noticed.

Plus all the 02 bookmarks are not there. :p
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
I have the sync options under Sony Ericsson in Settings as well...and mine is o2 branded...any other changes and differences which makes it worthwhile to get the Uk generic ROM flashed?

lol on the o2 bookmarks...dont think it will take more than a min to delete them..:D
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
lol :p

There isn't a huge difference if at all between the 2. The main thing the UK Generic and World ROM s is applications in the market place, as I believe in some markets some applications are not shown.

Plus my handset is a Generic UK anyway, its just annoying that a unlocked boot loader blocks access to SEUS.

EDIT: 7 mins to go on the upload.
[Xperia Arc General] sausalito:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hollow.Droid:
So I get my S2 tomorrow (Giddy as a schoolgirl) but I was looking for suggestions on replacing my current audio streaming setup. Basically my current phone, the Nexus One, had a bluetooth dock which when paired (Either when physically in the dock or over bluetooth) it would stream all audio from the handset to my connected sound system (Via 3.5mm jack).

I'm looking for an easy way to do the same with my S2, I don't really use the actual dock for physically docking so if there is a different/cheaper alternative which achieves the same effect then I'd be more than willing to try.

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] airwater9:
If I understand what you are saying right then this here is what I am using and I find it superb.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Wondering why your existing dock won't work with the SGSII? If its bluetooth it will be handling streaming over the A2DP bluetooth protocol, which the SGSII supports, I doubt there is anything Nexus specific about it...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hollow.Droid:
I want that but with a 3.5mm input jack rather than the cable coming out from it. I'm basically looking for some sort of bluetooth hub/headset which has a 3.5mm port. I know I didn't explain it very clearly :p

Unfortunately it's the official Nexus One dock and can only be paired once the phone has been docked once, therefore it only works with Nexus Ones. PITA for sure :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Ah, OK, thanks for that explanation.

I have this - http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...51&storeId=10151&langId=-1&partNumber=DRCBT15

Very nice as a receiver, but also good for use with whichever headset you like (I use it when exercising, the AVRCP controls are very handy for controlled media playback).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hollow.Droid:
That's exactly what I'm looking for, it's really helped push me in the right direction. Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jackleung:
I am not sure able DRC-BT15 since I didn't brought this one. But I would suggest Sony's DS-220 or DS-205, those two unlike the newest MW-600 could be use under charging. (I own all of them...)
