I found them, but thanks. I performed a search on phone ;)

Anyway, to the point...

Is this normal? Both are taking the most of the battery with same percantage. Or at least it says so.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
is anyone else having this problem/issue:

when using the provided SETorch app, the LED light keeps flickering (even when its NOT IN STROBE MODE)... and if the screen locks then the LED light stops...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] merlin667:
Have also some flickering issue with torch

Btw: Quadrant is 1905 at my Arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
noticed that, DooM. plus, I'm also noticing a colour bleed on some themed widgets when the wallpaper has white in it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Yes, it's flickering all the time. On screen lock, it flickers more, like it's not stable.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crimilde:
Yep it's the same for me.

It's not as intense as the strobe mode, but you can perceive a flicker when the torch is on.

+ We have flashed this ROM with every possible way, many times but same problem :( I am using this ROM, but if we don't get data work within 2 days, i have to go back to stock :( And i hate it..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Well Nimche, this is the most weird problem here. :P

Do you have another provider SIM you can try? If i got it right your provider is ATT yes ? And your phone is ARC generic?

I think that your simcard maybe too old, and because of that the RIL got problem with it. But ofc you are right, if it is working with FXP024 there is something strange.

What i can tell you : Diogo improved some bugs in RIL from 024 -> current.

Maybe there was something changed that is needed for your simcard. The reason of the changes was the new baseband which needed the changes. So maybe there was something old inside the FXP024 version which holds compability to your simcard version.

It would be nice if you can try current release with a "new" simcard, (ofc only if you have access to one, maybe a friend or smth) so that we can pinpoint the problem ;)

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Thanks Binary :) As i have also the same issue, i can tell you that i use Talkmore Simcard & no data connection, can't save APN etc. Yesterday night i borrowed a Netcom simcard from sister & tried in my phone, but result was the same :-/ And even i have never flashed FXP024..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Okay, can you please make a little test for me:

Please goto dialer and dial:

*#*#4636#*#*

Phone Info-> preferred network type:

Change to CDMA(PRL) and reboot phone. Better take out battery for 10 mins or so, so that the last cell is lost in memory :)

PRL means "Preferred Roaming List" and allows phone to switch to different cell systems.

Please try that, or play a little with the systems listed there. i would like to know if you at least get a data connection inside this menu :

Settings -> phone info-> Status -> Networktype

What is listed there? CDMA, GSM, HSDPA ?

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
Hi Bin4ry,

i have the same issue and may i can give you a bin more information i have,

logcat, logcat -b radio for fxp024, logcat -b radio for fxp041, and now i create logcat -b radio for fxp041 with 2 different simcards will upload this pack of infos soon. And i will test the tihng with.

About simcard to old... i tested with the simcard of my girlfriend (same operator but older sim that mine) and her sim worked.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
After dialing *#*#4636#*#* and in phone info, it's "GSM Only" and when i try to choose CDMAauto(PRL), i can't :-/ when i try to check CDMAauto(PRL), it goes back & still GSM Only :(

Settings -> phone info-> Status -> Networktype: EDGE

@ team FreeXperia: what is the difference between FXP041 and the rom provided on the cyanogen mod forum? (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32755-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-arc-v7101-11-oct-2011/)

i'm currently on FXP041 and it runs great but wanted to try the rom on the cyanogenmod forum to see what the differnece is but can't flash the boot.img provided
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Thanks for this. Strange is that samr providers run fine here at me :-P

hmm.

let me study the logs more.

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Just flash the whole zip file.

Iv not noticed anything different, but i didnt wipe from recovery went straight over this version in this thread.

Does says:

Mod Version

CyanogenMod-7.1.0.1-XperiaArc-LT15i

This version is

CyanogenMod-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG

So im thinking it went ok.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
those of u who are facing massive battery drain following are some battery saving tips:

let the ROM settle down, it takes a few hours for everything to be cached and thus the initial few hrs after a rom install can cause major battery drain, give it some time (a day or two), battery life will improve

disable/hunt for the usual culprits:

reduce the syncing times of apps like facebook/twitter/news reader... generally updating every 30/45/60 mins is advisable, the longer the sync gap the better for battery life

some apps get locked and memory and dont allow the device to go into deep-sleep even when the screen is locked (please search on google/xda on wht is deep sleep and why is it important)... find such apps and disable them...

disable automatic time from network provider (Menu -> Settings -> Date & Time -> Automatic)

set network operator selection to manual (Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators)

perform battery calibration (please search on google/xda for more info)

when u are not using the device avoid keeping wifi/BT/GPS active...

when u dont need it disable data (2g/3g)

as far as possible use 2G instead of 3G.... 3G zaps the battery like crazy...

do test these things out... hopefully ur battery life will increase..

regards,

DooMLoRD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thanks for your help.

I am on AT&T USA and I wish I was not. Sim card is brand new and I got it a few months ago(maybe from old stock?) I have seen another ATT user here that has no problem with his phone.

My arc is Unlocked US Generic model. FXP24 runs with no problem not even a hiccup. the minute that phone boots up the H kicks in without any thinking.

I hope your logcat studying helps or I may go to att store and get myself a new simcard(which I hope it works)

Is there anything that we can backup with Titanium on FXP24 and apply it into FXP41 and solve the data issue?

Hey.. Just wondering is this CM kernel compiled with ip_tables module? Cos i can't seem to get DroidWall to run "modprobe module 'ip_tables' not found"

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Thanks Doom, I've already done battery calibration and I turn off data when not needing it. I have no problem with Deep sleep, synching also does not affect the device much since I don't sync that much.

The thing is, Mobile standby and now Phone idle are eating the most, passing even the usage of Display.....

My touchscreen is not working :confused:

First i installed the CM7 firmware without the SEMC 4.0.A.2.368 ROM. The touchscreen worked perfectly but i had no GSM signal. I flashed the SEMC 4.0.A.2.368 ROM with the X10 Flasher. Then i reinstalled CM7 and Google Apps and the touchscreen stopped working. The hardware keys are working and the phone did not freeze.

Is there anything i can do or did i do something wrong ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
did you flash the boot.img back again?

you may have done this. fastboot boot boot.img instead of fastboot flash boot boot.img? you go to recovery for the first time but when you go to rom it won't work.

Try flashing all over from the beginning again.

Good Luck

[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitrum202:
I'm sorry TO be so rude, bit i think that ppl that is not able TO develop

Should only report bugs. Pls ppl stop asking TO solve problems asap, this is what we all want, but becomes harder if a lot of ppl keep asking things just wrote 1, 2, or 500 pages ago. In yhis way we can only obtain 1k pages threads and a slower develop or what we wnt.

My 2 cents

Sorry

[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Started all over again and still not working :(

1. I flashed the LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.ftf with X10 Flasher

2. I did the fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

3. Wipe data / factory reset

4. Wipe cache partition

5. Installed the CM7 zip

6. Installed the GApps zip

I still cannot press any button on the touchscreen, only the hardware buttons are working :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:

Ive not done much with droid for at least two years, so it was all a bit strange to me again, but after a few hours i got there.

your steps are very different to mine, followed the guide from post 3

-flashed 368 fw

-fastboot flash boot boot.img

-disconnected from pc,pulled the battery and turned back on

-free xperia logo came up,pressed vol down several times till reovery loaded

-applied rom

-applied gapps

-wiped cache

-wiped data/factory reset

-rebooted

loaded up perfectly (admitedly i made a few mistakes and forgot to wipe data etc and had bootloop but realised what i missed) arc is running happily at 1.5ghz
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
That should be takeing care of everything. Just flash the file and you are good to go.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Feedback from me so far is it's a great rom with fast and stable even when doing lots of multitasking.

Battery drain is like other stock se Rom. I had concluded that android cannot handle battery well and nothing to do with se/fxp team.

What I did so far to prevent battery draining is launching all apps, go into settings and ensure that there's no sync/push/pull from the apps. Turning off background data/switching off wifi and switching to 2g when screen is off doesn't help as well.

I did a full charge before I sleep last night and despite doing all the above, I woke up this morning losing 7% during standby in 6 hours. Disappointed and realised I'm changing myself to suit the smartphone and not buying a smart phone that suit my needs.

I guess I'm going to just use it how I want it to be and be happy about the phone despite the battery drain.

Just sharing my morning rant & disappointment. :D

market missing apps

i couldn't find essentials in apps such as youtube, google maps and others.

ive installed gb-apps-20110624 or gb-apps-20110828 but it is still same.

but another things is works great, i played HD games without any lags, and the ROM very fast and stable, comparing to old crappy stock :D :D

thanks FXP and teams.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
When you install the gb-apps then when you boot to android and log into your account at the beginning it will ask you what apps you want from Google list to be downloaded. It happens at the beginning very first time.

That is the fun part you missed.:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] exkaizen:
yeah... from gapps i've choose the apps needed for me but when loaded in the martket it shows not available... it might be due to not available to my country... thus now I don't have youtube and google maps... T.T

btw... below is what I've done to successfully flash CM7.1 without having issue...

- Flash using flash tool to LT15i 4.0.A.2.368 Generic Global

- Unlock Bootloader

- Extract the boot.img from the CyanogenMod update.zip and copy it to the same folder as fastboot (the /tools folder within the Android SDK folder).

- Disconnect the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc from the computer and power it off.

- Download CM7.1

- Unzip it and copy all the zip file frm the 7z you've downloaded into your microSD

- Press & hold the Menu button while connecting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc to the computer.

- On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

- Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side Volume Rocker to move around, & the Power button to select.

- Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.

- Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.

- Select Install zip from sdcard.

- Select Choose zip from sdcard.

- Install the CM7.

- Install Google Apps.

- reboot.

NOTE: IF YOUR CONTACT IS IN SYNCML/SONY ERICSSON SYNC, PLEASE COPY YOUR CONTACT TO GOOGLE BY PERFORMING BELOW STEP:

- Go to Contact

- Setting > Backup Contact > choose memory

- Setting > Import Contact > choose gmail account

- Once you have successfully installed CM7.1, it will autosync the contact from gmail contact to your phone one you have setup the google account.

For me FXP041 has been working like a dream. My issues are:

Barcode scanners – camera does not work, the screen is black. And of course we wait for the HDMI and FM radio to be implemented.

I did have an issue with data. I am on Talk Mobile in the UK and the Pay as You Go APN was installed instead of the contract APN. When I altered the PAYG APN the user name/password were still incorrect so I had to update them as well. Since doing that all has been well. Not sure that will help those who are having data issue but I thought I would share my experience.
