Dial (use stock dialer): *2767*3855# = factory reset
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirotech:
Thanks. I've done this factory reset know. But error still resists.

I can't power off my phone. If i shut it down then it always restarts !!!

No power off possible, since i flashed it with cognition rom and then

flashed back (because of some issues) to stock rom.

thanks for further support

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
You can't remove everything just from the dialer. You're going to have to flash the original firmware. And wipe. I hope there's someone who'll articulate.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SII with XDA Premium
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirotech:
I wiped all in original recovery mode and flashed original Samsung XWKDD.

But "power off" the phone does always a restart.

Can anyone help me ?

thanks from spiro
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Nothing is confirmed at the moment, but based on the picture the device looks very sexy. Still have to see the thickness and views from other angles.

If it comes out, will you ditch the Arc and make the upgrade?
[Xperia Arc General] abhisheak.bansal:
i am waiting for its launch or announce date

by the way it can be fake or rumor too.........
[Xperia Arc General] azian_advanced:
the Duo has been an ongoing rumor on some asian forums since january and that it would be a flagship phone for the second half of 2011.
[Xperia Arc General] Kyraa:
If I would've wanted a dual core phone in the first place, I wouldn't have bothered buying a SE Xperia Arc. I would've bought a Galaxy SII, Sensation oder Optimus Speed instead. I don't think dual core phones are necessary right now. There are no real big advantages. Single core phones work very well, especially the arc.
[Xperia Arc General] zainthesnipe:
i put no way since i got my arc yesterday :)
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
That photo's fake as F***... the dock bar's not even at the bottom.... They won't be bringing out a Dual core this year.. it will be the 2012 model..
[Xperia Arc General] sennyqtek:
No

I definitely wouldn't. The Arc works like a charm for me.
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
No, my arc still more sexy than that thing :)
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
So ugly design :(
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
I'm pretty confident they'll have one out before the end of the year - maybe announced around September time.

Without knowing more about the specs, I can't comment whether I would purchase one out of my own money or not.

But I reckon I'd end up with a Duo when it was released anyway.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Agree, arc has the best smartphone design at this moment.
[Xperia Arc General] Mesho Arc:
Now I won't because no confirmed specs & design avaliable.
[Xperia Arc General] pngface:
I remember SE saying there will be a flagship phone for the second half of 2011.. can't find the quote atm

Also, I don't think they expect Arc users to ditch their phones after using them for a couple of months... I think its more for the X10 users (and SE fanboys) :p
[Xperia Arc General] uiqjirka:
I definitely wouldn't.Arc has the best smartphone design..
[Xperia Arc General] imugur:
That picture doesn't look like a Sony Ericsson phone! come on guys, look at X10, Arc and all the others; they look cool and sexy. The picture looks more like a Samsung phone. I'll check with SE tomorrow and come back.

[Xperia Arc General] Ptvinh:
I would consider

dual core will be the way for future phone. I will consider to change if the spect is significally better than my current Arc.
[Xperia Arc General] titus1:
I'll be considering a dual-core Android phone come 2012, and not this year. Just hoping it will be coming from SE with it's 16mp cam with all it's full 1080HD video recording.
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
I'm agree with dual-core things, it'll be smartphone future. But, 16mp camera sounds nonsense to me, with that small sensor and lenses noise will be anywhere friend.
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
I cannot agree more. SE-made dual-core device will be my next objective. But not the product with the design showed above.
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
Please revert as long as you have any news, thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Picture looks a bit unreal, but I read the other day Sony indeed claimed the name 'xperia duo' so no wonder people start talking about it...

from my Arc or Optimus 2x
[Xperia Arc General] zonetrooper90:
I will wait for SE to release a phone with Tegra 3, before I'll consider upgrade...
[Xperia Arc General] Larsiano:
A new pic has been publishedView attachment 631528

Im pretty confident that the rumors about the xperia duo are all true, so far. The tremendous advantage that the duo has, is imo the bigger screen on a comparatively same size.
[Xperia Arc General] cherryfish:
Arc looks still better. ^^

I hope I don't need to buy a new phone for one or two years, so I'd rather wait for another beauty then. :)
[Xperia Arc General] imugur:
OK, I spoke with my SE friends and they confirmed Xperia Duo. It will appear in Q4 (most probalby before Xmas) and it will have 1.4 GHz core duo processor. No other details. Even the picture they were not sure it was real, probably it's just a mockup. He mentioned that it will look similar to Arc.

[Xperia Arc General] kosumo:
No Way too.

I'm from those who think that mono-core a still enough powerful.

May be in 2012 if dual/quad core phone bring interesting features.
[Xperia Arc General] zonetrooper90:
nVidia is already working on their Tegra 3 processor, witch is quad core...
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
And because nVidia's running on a different development cycle to Samsung, TI, Qualcomm et al, Kal-El devices will arrive a lot sooner than competing quad-core/next gen dual-core devices.
[Xperia Arc General] sopdogg:
I hate to speculate but due to the above post, I'm thinking the Xperia Duo = Xperia dual cameras. What do you guys think of this?
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
And what makes you think that other poster knows anything more than the rest of us?
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
unknown13x works for SE and has been a good source of info on x10 previously..
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Well we all have our own theories, ideas and sources of information.
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
Thanks so much for your reply. Please keep us updated because Im hoping very much that SE could release a super-phone to improve its competitiveness, though ARC is almost the best phone of the current market.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
I'm thinking that SE are going to be doing something at IFA in Berlin in September.

Maybe an official announcement for the Duo?
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
Any solid clue?
[Xperia Arc General] elnitrox:
dual core would be nice as long as the looks is still a stunning beauty..
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
I saw IFA listed on a calender of SE events.

Combined with a number of other snippets of information, I'm thinking maybe that's when it'll be announced.
[Xperia Arc General] Super Chimp:
It's supposed to be announced sometime in July.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Maybe, it's got 'TBA' under July so there's scope for them to put on an event.

If that's the case, I wonder why they've highlighted IFA...
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
How can you be so sure?
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
what is TBA?
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
Can you please share some related information?
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
'TBA' mean 'To Be Announced' - basically, nothing's been planned for July.

Which, if they are planning to announce a new phone, is cutting it a little fine...

As for the related information, I can't really - it's nothing concrete, just little things and I'm joining the dots so to speak but I could be completely wrong.
[Xperia Arc General] Super Chimp:
Just going off a post by a person who is usually pretty accurate on these things on another forum.
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
would you have more sharings?
[Xperia Arc General] tomo100brt:
Yes if it upgrades ram. All i want is more ram memory.
[Xperia Arc General] Super Chimp:
Sorry this was the last thing he posted about in relation to upcoming launches.
[Xperia Arc General] KingKuba13:
Played with an arc yesterday, was surprised how much slower it is to load apps/games.

I tried let's golf and it was just loading and loading and loading.
[Xperia Arc General] zoobzone:
I'm willing to sell my SGS2 for this.

/drools over a Sony phone.
[Xperia Arc General] sneakingimperator:
depending on price...but...is it really? or a prototype?
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
GSMarena have new post about xperia duo, the rumoured spec was very interesting. :-D
[Xperia Arc General] Larsiano:
[UPDATE]

Well, maybe just a bit overstated, I guess....
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Of those rumoured specs, if anything the battery is the most impressive/interesting.

The screen res is a little disappointing when the next Nexus handset is rumoured to be packing a 720p S-AMOLED panel...
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I think SE are shying away from SAMOLED screens because of the bright light legibility issues.... If they bring out this in short time scales - ie annoucement now and phone's available for the christmas rush... then they'll make a killing..
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
They're 'shying away' from them because basically only Samsung make them and they're not prepared to make them available to the competition.

As for the release, I said before that I think it's September and some of the updated rumours are saying that too.

[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
i hope the 4.5" screen part it not true. I already feel even 4.2 is little too big. I would have preferred a thinner X10 over arc as Arc is feeling too long and also the location of Notification light almost makes it useless for me.
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
all disclosed info are uncertain. can anyone provide something solid?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
There is nothing solid with Sony Ericsson till they actually sell them in store.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
The only "solid" thing is that these are all just rumors.
[Xperia Arc General] sidneylopsides:
On that second picture, down the right hand side you can see the volume keys, and above them an off looking key. It's in the wrong place for a camera key, and doesn't look right for a lock key.
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
I think camera key is the most bottom one, the one that not very near the edge like arc.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
That's about where the power key is on the Neo.
[Xperia Arc General] zodiac100:
no suprised to hear so many people in here talking about design...that's the only reason any one would get the arc. style over substance crowd... i need to get out of this arc forum asap...all this mindless talk is slowing down my central broadcasting systems.

Given all your posts seem to be negative and unhelpful, I can't say you'll be missed.

Oh, one more thing, if this post helped you find your way out, don't forget to press the Thanks button. :D
[Xperia Arc General] Super Chimp:
Agree the screen size if proved accurate could be a big impediment to me getting that, especially after the ergonomic problems I had with the GS2 and its screen size.

[Xperia Arc General] azian_advanced:
updated OP
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
Wouldn't change my Arc for Duo (even if I wanted to, it'd stay on the thought since I don't have money, haha). If I wanted something "beastly" or whatever, would've taken one of the newer HTCs.

Here in my country, Arc was released just a month ago (I'm not sure why the delay *scratch*) and I almost bought HTC DHD, but since I got to try it out I realized the screen was just a bit too big for my taste (I had SE T710i up till now, so yeah, tiny screen (normal phone) -> huge screen (smartphone) = weird), but Arc's 4.2" was perfect for me. Moreover, I find the design of HTC (and Samsung) repulsive...

And this one's 4.5" screen - probably couldn't fit in my pocket O.o Also, don't need 12 mpx camera, since I don't relay on phone's camera too much. And I don't need a dual-core processor... well, not atm.
[Xperia Arc General] 007Arc:
My next phone ! :)
[Xperia Arc General] MarcSinger:
I'll pass. Too big a phone for me, even if it's going to have top-notch specs.

Had the same problem today when I tried to download the latest CM7-nightly (download failes at 2% or 73%). The third time it works. I didn't touch the phone and let the notification bar pulled down. But don't ask me if this was the reason for the successful download... :eek:

It makes me all the time.

I have to paste the url to firefox or dolphin to download and it works fine.

But i dont like much these browsers for using in my phone.

Hi i have just looked in my widget draw and i see a new widget called Traffic, any ideas what this is or does ?????
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
I believe it was added with the recent google maps update. You give it a name and input a destination and i believe you will see a traffic light widget. If the light is green, theres no traffic between you and that destination.

I could be wrong
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
When created you type a address.

When GPS is on, it should show how delayed your commute will be.

When clicked it show your route and traffic information (if any).

where can i download the stock miui kernal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballer71418:
I think the stock miui kernel is a cm7 kernel. So kernel manager would be your best bet with that :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankie51:
I tried it and it said its missing the flash_image binary
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can always download a MIUI rom, then open the zip, locate the kernel zip, extract then flash it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankie51:
i opened up the rom and i only found one zip that i think would be the kernal, its called "cmu6plus". would this be it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What folder did you find it in, because I've never flashed MIUI, so I don't know what they called it. Did you open that one and see the contents of it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankie51:
yeah that wasnt it. i cant find it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/41381-how-extract-kernel-rom.html

That might be of help; its not pretty extracting a kernel baked into a rom.

i have heard that the colour and chrome finish of arc fades away rather quickly from the edges and near the buttons?:confused:

Is this true?:confused:

PLEASE ONLY THOSE ARC USER SHOULD ANSWER WHO ARE OWNING THE ARC FOR AT LEAST A MONTH :eek:

Sorry for my bad english...... :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Simply not true.

Had X10 for a year and Arc for one month and neither faded or chipped.

I do take care of the devices but they are used heavily.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
No problems here.. almost three months on Arc for me.. and 12 months on X10 prior to that..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennyqtek:
Also no problems here. Have the Arc for about 1 month and have used it a lot...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiqjirka:
Also no problems here..

almost two months on Arc for me..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmmp:
mine has fading already, around 4 months of usage, at the chrome part.

It's at the lower part of the phone (left and right side), must be because that's where i hold the phone while using it
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refract:
closing in on 5 months of use of my Arc, still nothing like what you described
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmmp:
maybe because my hands get sweaty easily, must be acidic
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallimo:
I use a rubber case that prevents some of this
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimilde:
I've used mine for 3 months now, and just a bit of paint on the back has faded (a thin line near the camera lens, probably because I keep it in my pocket most of the time and the fabric rubs against it).

It's not really visible though.

Other than that, it's in perfect shape.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
4 months here, no sign of any fading or any other noticable wear & tear.

[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I just checked my t-mobile account and noticed I used 220mb of data since yesterday afternoon. How in the world is this possible if I was on wifi 90% of the time?

This sucks because I lose 4g speeds after 2GB of data.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
are you sure that's only since yesterday & not from the start of your billing cycle?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I'm a brand new tmobile customer. Signed up yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Might be the T-Mobile app thing. There was somebody else complaining of high data usage and traced it back to this app.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
it's probably not accurate then
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
hmm. source link please? i'd really like to read in to this. that app is always shown as running on my phone, even after killing it.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I'll see if I can find the thread for you :)
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Couldn't find the specific post/thread I was quoting, but I did find this, on Android Police:

If it's using GPS to update your location every 10 seconds, that needs data. So I suspect, if you have this app installed, this could be your problem.

Get a data usage app that tells you what app is using how much data. If it shows that it is indeed this new T-Mobile app, there's your problem :p

From this post: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...more-for-me-though-were-not-sure-why-exactly/

EDIT: Not the thread I was talking about (and still trying to find!) but I have found this, which may or may not be of use: Click
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
thanks (will even press the button when link is provided) :)
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Look above. I'm still searching for the specific thread, if/when I find it :)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Hmm I don't have that app installed. There are other Tmobile apps though that seem to always be running & match the Uptime of my phone.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Get Traffic Counter from the Market and trace the data.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Just downloaded it. I'm not concerned with data (tho still want to read that post), I'm more concerned with why a lot of apps that I don't even use seem to always be on.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I think it's because they're stock apps and the default is always on. Once we have root, we should be able to get rid of them, and once we can flash ROMs, we can install stock HTC software, or Android Revolution HD :)

Just another reason to have s-off and root :(
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Ok, after downloading traffic counter, it looks like it IS my fault for the excessive data usage.

It's showing the speed test app as using 130mb of data (since last reboot, which was yesterday). I admit I went a little crazy on the speedtest app yesterday and today (I've never had 4g speeds before switching to tmobile), but why does it use SO much data? I did quite a few tests, but still.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
I tried that traffic counter app. XDA is killing my data 27mb. I spend to much time at this place. :)
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
As I'm on an unlimited data plan, I don't really care about data usage. I can go up to something like 5gb and my network (giffgaff, easily the best network in the UK) doesn't really care! The only thing I can't do is tether, but I can create a wifi hotspot for when I need to get on the internet on a bigger screen :)

If you're in the UK, I strongly implore you to take a look at giffgaff. Link in my sig :)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
if you have a fast connection it needs to send/receiver bigger files to get an accurate account of what your speed it. if it only used like a 512KB file then it'd show your speed as 1028238234978234978MBps.

FYI that's still tethering, just wirelessly

I'm curious then why some of the other apps show that they're running that aren't stock?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Makes sense. Time to stop using that app lol
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
just did 2 tests to test the theory. 30MB down/8MB up
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Giffgaff don't appear to count it as tethering, which is good for me :)
[HTC Sensation] apple_g:
I have used over 400mb in a day so it might just be that you are playing with it more than usual because it is new. Just my $.02
