Go to your device manager and delete all devices with problems (yellow exclamation marks). Plug your phone back in and it should mount.

[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Hello all. :D

Having owned an X10 for just short of a year I've lived through S.E's initial step in to the smart phone arena, and while they made a lot of mistakes with the X10 they have clearly learned their lesson. Many die hard S.E fans said they were going to jump ship when it came time to purchasing a new phone, myself included, however, having owned my Arc for nearly two weeks now I'm so so glad I stuck with them!

No matter what phone you buy there is always going to be something about it that you don't like, the only thing for me, or what I don't like the most should I say in regards to the Arc is their choice of rear casing, it can be a tad slippery at times so would have preferred to have the same black rubbery casing as on the X10, which I could sit nicely on the slant of the arm on the couch but the Arc just slides down so just sit it at the side of me of me now.

Sure a default Android U.I would be perfect but having now rooted and changed most of it I like my phone even more. There's a few more little niggles such as the bootup time but I'm sure that will be resolved at some point just like a few issues with the X10 were. It's easy to say when you buy a phone it shouldn't come with any issues, unfortunately they do, whether you go with S.E, Samsung or HTC, go browse the forums of any phone on XDA and you'll see that some people are happy with their phones and some aren't, "you can't please all of the people all of the time"!

I recall a user on AndroidForums who had had their X10 replaced a good few times, at least 3 or 4 but were never happy, always finding some sort of fault with the phone and soon became apparent that the said user would have been better suited with a Nokia 7210 or similar phone because their Smart Phone was clearly too smart for them. I'm not saying you need to be a technophile to be able to use a smart phone nor should you have to be for it work as intended, but some people are always going to have issues for whatever reason.

Some people are unlucky and receive a dodgy handset whether it's software or hardware based so there isn't a great deal you can do on such occasions, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to suffer the same issues one person might be having.

To sum up, I love my Arc, current Andoid OS, fast and looks the business, as I've already stated I'm so glad I decided to stick with S.E because imo they've made up for the mistakes they made with the X10. :)

This time last night I was trying to decide whether to buy an Arc or go for something else. After reading the 'other' thread, I had some real concerns about how good the Arc really was. After ALOT more reading tons & tons of threads/reviews I decided to bite the bullet and get an Arc.

To be honest I really can't see what people are complaining about? I think this thing is fantastic! I've spent all day on it and can't see wtf the fuss is about. Battery life is good, it's fast and smooth and looks pretty f**king cool.

Granted I've only played with it for 10 hours but at this stage the biggest problem I've found is getting used to how sensitive the touch screen is although that's more my fault as I'm not exactly petite and gentle. Also, the back was quite slippery but I've put this skin on and it cleared that problem up....
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Thanks, I thought it didn't look or sound quite right. :)

[Xperia Arc General] zodiac100:
The arc for me is definitely one to miss. You say the arc is fast. That's because your compairing it with your experience of the x10 with older hardware and dated software. Pit the arc against the newer 2011 phones and you'll find its quite slow in comparison. It is to the x10 what windows 7 was to vista (even then I feel I am being a bit harsh to windows 7). It's a polished up version and as such, I see absolutely no reason upgrading from the x10 to it. With gingerbread coming to the x10 soon, I'll see my contract through and hope SE come up with a truly worthy competitor. If they fail to wake up from their slumber by then, the GS3 will most likely be the choice (iphone rip off or not).
[Xperia Arc General] vu2ikl:

[Xperia Arc General] Maedhros:
Meh... All I can say is that the Arc is a POS phone.

Most people who purchase the Arc after owning the X10 are X10 apologists.

If SE has something decent up its sleeves and it comes up in time...
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:

[Xperia Arc General] Mercano:
Hey guys.

I am a happy owner of the silver arc for 3 days now. I am very satisfied with it, battery on the first charge lasted almost 24 hours - of course somewhat light usage.

I only had to insert a piece of paper under the battery cover to eliminate squeaks.

I noticed you had X10 before. My gf is very impressed with arc and because of the lower price of the X10, she is considering buying it. Can you tell me how much better is the battery on the arc, comparing to the X10?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] vu2ikl:
It largly depend on how you use your phone and ofcourse the android implementation on your device.

Both x10 and arc just got 2.1.B and 2.3.3 update which many claim has increased the battery life.

Also, display is most important factor which drains battery.

Bottomline x10 will have tiny winy bit advantage over arc when 2.3. 3 comes to x10. Both have 1500mA battery.

So, imo, let handling, look, camera be the deciding factors.
[Xperia Arc General] Mercano:
I understand, but I believe that the screen on the arc should be more energy efficient. Check the presentation form the xperia acro launch in Japan:

http://www.talkandroid.com/37350-sony-ericsson-xperia-acro-presentation-images-leaked/gpad7/

And we should not forget the cpu technology (45 nm vs. 65nm).

I still believe that if you use both devices exactly the same, the arc should last longer. Just my thought.

That is something new i got to learn. Thanks =)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGuy2006:
How difficult would it be to do notifications like those shown in iOS5 (http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/gallery.html#video-ios)?

They sure look good from a UI standpoint (I never found the stock Android notifications bar very elegant, or useful (it gets too cluttered).

If someone can build this into a ROM or a launcher, it would make many of us very happy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dario3040:
No it wouldn't.

To me it looks like ****.

Pure copy of Android.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbh87:
Only real difference I can tell is that the notifications are separated instead of all running into each other. Mail is under the mail title bar, messages is under the messages title bar, etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodooboy3000:
They do look quite nice. Apple always seem to get UI design looking good

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waza_Be:
Yes, but notifications have nothing to do with the launcher! They are included in the ROM itself.

No hope to find an app for that!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dario3040:
Making it would be easy, but finding someone that is willing to do it is harder

I could probably do it, but who wants it anyway?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymond4:
I don't like Apple but i would like to see this running on our device.i mean really they copied the notification idea from android
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Why would you want something like that? Apple does many things but none of it is done properly.

Multitasking - its actually just alt + tab, apps do not run in the background, they are paused, that totally contradicts the term multitasking.

Browsing - wow I didn't even know they do not have text reflow, omg so lame, they just included it in this new update. It also doesn't have flash and the speed can't match android.

What UI? Oh you mean the app drawer, yeah it looks...limited. No scrollable wallpaper and no widgets, just a bunch of apps without any type of organization. I laugh at iFans telling me that they don't need widgets. Actually if you show off with some of the android exclusive features they say they do not need it, but once it's introduced in their crapOS they think its the best thing ever invented.

I'm only looking forward for the next android version which brings hardware acceleration, iOS will totally be left behind.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Oh great, lets pull the "patent" card. Samsung must of copied iOS by making their TouchWiz launcher appear as iOS.

Regardless of whatever someone suggests, Android is all about openness and options. If a dev wants to do it, go ahead. If you don't like it, then don't go in their threads bashing the idea.

The idea for Android is all about options, some you may like, some you won't. Move on.

The notification system actually came from a developer from the Cydia store. Apple hired him and he made their notification system.

This is true. iOS is a really aesthetically pleasing UI. Android just feels bare bones. I personally own an iPad and I was playing around with some Android tablets at the store and boy were they ugly. I don't know, it just seems so bad.

But also ability to remove group of notification by swiping left.

That would be awesome.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGuy2006:
Seriously?

This is waaaay out there and is worse than what the fanboys do on the Apple forums. I guess fanboys are the same everywhere. :(

I use Apple, Windows and Google products. There are things I like about each of them and things I don't like. I still have an iPhone, but the Nexus S is my third Android phone.

I like the way Apple does UI. It is still more elegant and more polished than Android's, even though the two are close. But I also like a lot of things Android does -- that's why the Nexus S is the phone I use.

I have never liked the notification bar on Android -- it gets cluttered really fast and it's proportionately too small. So I hide it, and I have cobbled together a system to get notifications as counters on the individual app icons.

I like the way the new Apple notifications look. I don't particularly care if they have copied Android, just like I don't care if Android has copied some iPhone features. What I want is an elegant design and functionality.

So, if someone can duplicate the look and feel of the iOS 5 notifications, I would love it (I'd pay for it, too, just like I have happily paid for almost every launcher there is (I have settled on the MIUI Launcher).

BTW, I am talking about the whole seamless way notifications are integrated. Yes, I have tried WidgetLocker and it it very flexible, but it is so home-made looking and felling, that I deleted it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Lol? Beat this apple!

Edit: android just gives you a simple and working OS, personlizing it is up to you. You can't imagine how far the modification can go on this OS.

And the iOS personalization is...practiclly missing, just a bunch of unorganized apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGuy2006:
Can we dispense with the OS attacks and focus on trying to make the overall experience on the Nexus S better.

If for some of us this means using some of the UI elements from other OSs, that's O.K.. Really.

We have stuff like MIUI and W7 here, no need to go apoplectic about it.

(BTW, your link is a good example of what I mean by "home-made look.") :)

If someone can pull off a well-integrated iOS-like integration, I am sure many here will appreciate it, and some may even pay for it.

I hope someone can do it and let us know.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
So everything on android seems "home mode" for you, you're using MIUI and you like the iOS UI elements. Uhm...what are you doing here?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGuy2006:
No, not everything. Just the images you posted (mind you, they are not the worst I've seen, by far :)

Anyway, back to topic....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnythan:
I'd love to be able to swipe or X away individual notifications.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnythan:
He's right. There have been more iPhones sold than copies of HL and HL2 combined. And most of those iPhones have multiple games. IIRC more hours are spent playing games on iPhones than any other platform, ever.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
AFAIK, WidgetLocker does NOT show the entire list of notifications on the lockscreen with sliders for each of those apps. In WidgetLocker you have to manually set up which sliders you want on the lock screen.

Apple added a very cool feature and it looks good.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echoes.:
Don't want to offend you, but I think he is referring to a clean and polished UI!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
iOS5 obviously snagged android's notifications idea, thats what they do. "Good artests copy, Great artests steal"... they took the idea and pushed it up a notch, android will catch up and surpass it as always (we have live wallpapers in the notifications about be released)

What i do like about the new iOS5 notifications is that there is no top "bar" (i understand you can hide it or make it clear with android), but its an animated rectangular block that rotates when a message comes in... i like that. I'm sure something like this will turn up for android sooner or later. The competition never ends, we just need to stop hating on eachother, its getting ridiculous lol.

To each their own
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGuy2006:
This is also my favorite feature and the one I am most interested in.

I really do not like the Android top "bar" and find it kind of useless (too small and it gets too cluttered -- plus it's ugly).

I wish there was an easy way to have on-icon notifications, including on icons in the dock -- right now I use ADW Notifier, which is hit or miss for apps like K9 and it does not work for Google Voice.

On-icon notifications plus something like the rectangular block would be a perfect combo, if designed well.

Also, it'd be great if it's an app, and not requiring root or a specific ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
that would be hard considering it would need to "replace" the notifications bar, and that requires a Deodexed ROM which allows system files to be changed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGuy2006:
I'd root for that :)

Although, how does the W7 launcher replace the top bar graphics with the W7-looking bar?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
its a homescreen replacement. it just hides the android notification bar and has a notification bar-like presence at the top of the screen. You can hide the notification bar in adw and launcher pro too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
i believe when you open an app or go to the webrowser, your android notifications bar come back, the wp7 one does not stick
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I've mentioned this in a previous post. Stop referring ios5 notifications as apple. A Guy named Peter Hajas made a cydia app named mobilenotifer. This was brought to apples attention and hired him to implement it within the os.

This is not apples idea, it is Peter hajas
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
?????? its a part of iOS 5 isn't it? as you said they "hired him to implement it within the os."

having a grumpy day? Not trying to be a **** here, but I don't believe this was really that necessary
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It is apart of iOS5 but the IDEA originated from Peter Hajas. The revamped notification system is NOT APART of Apple's idea. The notification system was first introduced on Cydia (an App Store for tweaks that requires Jailbreaking in order to achieve these tweaks).

Stop attempting to quote me in every post and contradicting what I say, it's getting old. All I'm simply doing is correcting somebody rather than having people believe something that is simply not true. If you're going to talk about something, at least get the basic facts down. Your ability to "harass" me over the internet wasn't necessary. Don't like it? Just don't post bad-mouthing posts about me if ALL I'm doing is correcting somebody.

MobileNotifier was made way past ahead of its time.. all Apple did was hire him and have him implement his ideas within the OS. Apple didn't invent the idea of iOS 5 Notifications, but they did take credit for it (as demonstrated before). But the "hardcore" tech fans will know that its the works of a man named Peter Hajas.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
I am in no way attempting to stir things up and contradict u. All i was saying, from a general stand point, it is the iOS 5's notifications, Apple is not advertising it as Hajas notifications. You were telling everyone to stop calling it the iOS5 notifications... i just didn't get why something that wasn't so wrong was bothering you. I understand you are trying to educate people on its background, it is appreciated and i apologize for butting heads. It is not my intention to create cyber enemies, i would have discussed this with you (or anyone) face to face if it were the case. Sorry if i had offended you, as i said before, i was not trying to be a ****.
