[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grossermanitu:
Hello everybody,

actually Im a big fan of HTC-Devices and Sense. Everything startet with a HTC Blackstone and Windows-Mobile. Currently Im using a HTC Legend and Desire (private & work).

Meanwhile Im bored of the Design of HTC. To thick to "normal".

So now the Xperia Arc comes in. Wundervoll design, thin and compare to the measures small. Disadvantage for me is the USB-Port on the side for the dockingstation (New trend?) and the missing front camera. :(

But mybe there are other advantages than the design that I missed.

Actually what I want to ask is, why did you buy the ARC?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhsu:
I have also used many models of HTCphone, I have changed to SE Arc for 3 months.

With Arc I'm happy because it has a lot of things better than HTC phones such as Arc has good radio, clear sound, its screen looks like Bravia TV. With Arc's camera I can have a lot of very beautiful pictures on days or night especially with added software Arc can take nice panorama picture and more...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
I'm a SE-fanboy, liking the Arc and my X10 started to reboot often so I got it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobage:
I like Sony Mobile Bravia Engine, the Reality Display and the arc shape. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
reasons why i bought the Arc:

- I'm a big SE fan, had a X10 but was missing 'some things'(vague, i know)

- Big 4.2" screen (with the bravia engine it looks great)

- Really good camera quality in day & night(and it takes a picture fast)

- The design: just look at the thing man! (let's be honnest all phone in the xperia range look very good)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
Most SE designs look like they are made to my taste. Or you can also say others make phones that look ugly to my taste :-).

But I wish SE can improve the build quality of their phones to feel more solid and use more metal. I find HTC phones to have much better build quality than SE phones but somehow their phone designs don't interest me.

Samsung is a joke. They just copy everyone. To me, their best looking phone is Captivate and it looks somewhat like X10.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
I have a desire. It's nice but not as nice as the arc. The pictures, audio quality and radio on the desire is appalling.

After playing with an arc in a store the camera is excellent, the audio quality is superb the radio works and the screen is beautifull.....but why SE why have such crap build quality?

I am looking forward to the RAY and that may be my next phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunawan-1:
Xperia ray is beautiful but smaller. For me... Arc is suitable. Smaller than Dell streak and bigger than ray.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar112:
Killingly cool design:-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gk_terato:
1. design 2. camera 3. interface design. After using an atrix i decided a dualcore wasn't worth it for what i needed to do and would rather trade it for the "curvaceous" arc. Brother has a SGS2 and it is awesome, but the stock samsung ROM really leaves a lot to be desired design wise. Have a look at their stock dialer. blegh.

edit: oh yea, cant forget about the screen. Perfect size and looks great.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grossermanitu:
Exactly my first thoughts. Dont know what happened to HTC. But hey a good chance to see sth. different.

Ps:I just bought my Arc on Amazon Warehousedeals 304,-€
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aisback:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.monteiro:
I actually enjoyed the fact that Ray is small, but still packs almost the same features of Arc, sometimes i fell the x10 is already too big and Arc is even bigger. But i'll wait a little longer until buying a new device, my old x10 still serves me well and there's a lot of cool stuff being released, i'm not even sure if my next phone will be a SE but i do like their designs a lot.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtorm80:
a friend took me to sony store

hold the arc, dummy set even (high quality ofcos) and fall in love, feels great in my hand, desire hd looks outdated

ditch my HTC desire HD for arc design, camera, better speaker, love the home button for turning on the screen rather then power button way up the top, and it feels great in my pocket, but usually protected in my waist pouch 95% of the time

if you wan speed and nothing else, sgs2 with dual core and 1gb of ram will be your choice

The brand was actually a huge negative for me - i loathe and distrust sony. I only bought after i managed to convince myself that SE are an entirely separate company.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCast_XArc:
1. First Gingerbread phone here in my country (PHL).

2. Camera. (Better than my >5-yr. old ultracompact lol)

3. Android. The arc was a beautiful way to introduce my friends to smartphones.

4. Big screen.

5. Price. It was on sale when it first launched here.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roenie82:
I got it for 275 euros, used for 1 month (with receipt to prove it). Try that with a Sensation/SGS2. Those dual core phones are not old enough to be available 2nd hand (at a good price), but their existance makes the Arc cheaper.

Arc is still not old, specs wise

It's stable, not many commonly reported issues

All the recent dual core phones have many problems

No Sense UI slowing everything down. Even if Sense is brilliant (I don't know that), knowing myself I would no doubt remove it anyway, to make the phone faster and more "stock Android" like.

HTC Sensation is uggglyyyy and its higher res would only be useful if the screen was also proportionally larger! Which it isn't!

Samsung SGS2 has amoled, therefore it sucks. Has colour banding or in other words, lower colour depth. Faces in videos look bright red due to over saturation, amoled is more harsh/sharp looking than LCD, worse for text and images.

Rootable

GPS functions properly in every unit, unlike Samsung Galaxy S, S Plus and S2

Single core is fast enough, the RAM is enough too

Most software is not optimised for more than 1 core anyway

I indeed find it quite snappy, a joy to work with

The screen is IPS, imo the best panel tech, it's not a damned amoled. Natural colours, amoled has unnatural colours. I can use any colour UI or background and use same amount of battery regardless. Amoled needs black backgrounds/UI. Browsing web with amoled screen uses 3 times more battery because almost everything is white.

4.2" screen, while the alternatives with screens >4" are stupidly expensive because they are dual core, cutting edge devices that have just recently been released. (exception: the desire HD, but that has a LCD/TN+Film screen, not IPS, therefore weaker colour, has very weak battery and altered pixel density, messing up scaling of apps)

Dual core does not help the battery life

And no, better powermanagement in dual cores won't change that fact

Comes with Android 2.3

Beautiful design

Not bad in sunlight

Awesome camera

It's a steal used, for what it offers.

Its only downsides are small, compared to the problems of other phones:

Low but still not very restrictive internal memory

Housing sometimes shows tiny hairline crack near proximity sensor. blue version more often than silver, so i went silver. no crack thusfar.

many Arcs have a problem with it dropping wifi sometimes, as does mine, i still need to find the root cause of this, I use wifi all the time but it is not a huge issue, in fact i can't test it easily because it doesn't happen often enough, so I have to spend hours to isolate the issue.

Not as much buzz/custom rom action for it on XDA compared to some other popular phones. Then again the software is good and stable so it's not a necessity, unlike with those other phones which need it to solve problems.

new, it's too expensive for its specs, almost as expensive as SGS2/Sensation, so get it used

Edit: done editing. yep i think that about sums it up. need any more reasons?

You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode

You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed

Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.

If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.

You can try to pass on this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171378&highlight=SuperOneClick

fix a file on sdcard installxrec.bat changing any other available to you on the record catalog

I think you can easily do without SDCard, yes, even just using the flasher with a hacked firmware ready.

It would be only a desire to understand.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] timwave:
Thank you, i root my phone, i change the "sdcard" to "system" in installxrec.bat but i can't start xRecovery....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Camogyp:
I'm glad it worked out and you do not hurt me! :-)

In chargemon try change cat /dev/input/eventX

where X can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

To determine the correct value, you can run: adb shell cat / dev/input/event0 and try to push the buttons on the phone, if there is any response from the command line, you guessed value and it needs to be written to a file.

Or just put on Guess, try 2 times. For the X10 mini = 1, for the X10 mini PRO = 0.

[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
Just bought my phone yesterday.

First problem is that I keep getting a notification in the top left saying 'unable to detect your time/date settings'. I have to press it and go to Perth +8.

Why was it never doing that with my previous htc??

Second problem just appeared today, I have connected to my home wifi, it SAYS connected and shows FULL connectivity, BUT on the top it has NO bars highlighted and the wifi doesn't work???

It worked fine during the day today and yesterday but now it's playing up?!?

Please help!
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
I solved the first problem of the time notification by unchecking ' Automatic Use network provided values'.

Second problem still annoying me though!
[HTC Sensation] DiZzle.:
Maybe a different channel works for you. Search in the market for Wifi Analyser and check which channel gives the best result.
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
Thanks for the response,

I have already checked and it is on the best channel. It's not an issue with channels, the router is 5 mtrs from my mobile. Yesterday and this morning it was absolutely fine. And it even shows FULL bars on the wireless setting, but just at the top it shows none and doesn't load anything!
[HTC Sensation] DiZzle.:
Have you tried turning off and on the wifi? That helped me once. Or rebooting the router?
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
yes tried both, still no good?!?!
[HTC Sensation] DiZzle.:
Does the router regonize the phone? Have you tried connecting without security?

Hi guys, strange problem is happening with me over last couple of days and as usual Vodafone are no help whatsoever at rectifying it, hopefully someone on here can help.

All of my contacts are working as normal with sms and mms except for one contact. When I try to sms this one contact the phone does not even attempt to send it, it only keeps the typed text in the typing box and leaves the icon flashing as if waiting for more text to be typed! If I add a subject title to the message it will send fine as an mms message to this person and can phone the person all fine...just the sms option not working.

Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
Within the next few days I'm finally swapping my Xperia X1 for an Xperia X10 Mini Pro.

Been reading up on this forum for a few weeks now to decide which way to go.

Biggest dilemma was whether to go for stock or custom ROM and I think I'd best go for stock ROM for best stability.

This is what I'll think I'll do...

- Upgrade to latest firmware

- Root using SuperOneClick 1.9.5

- Install Link2SD to save internal storage

- Remove bloatware using Titanium Backup

- Use Zeam launcher 2.8.8

I think this is the best way for a stable, good performing phone or do you think going for an optimised Froyo rom is the better option?

Or are there better solutions for optimizing stock rom than the ones I mentioned above?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kormatoes:
Froyo ftw or cm7 not stock batery is crap ui crap stock apps crap z4root crap superoneclick ftw cwm ftw

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adeceku:
i would stay with stock for stability, root as you say for remove ops apps. custom roms are buggy and slow, also the SE UI displays the apps big enough for the small screen
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
Thanks for the replies... I think I will stay with latest stock ROM and use SuperOneClick instead of z4root.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] e23:
imho minicm6 is a lot more performant than the stock rom. (it doesent hav crappy se services running in background). plus with minicm you can over/underclock your cpu and save battery + get a much smoother look and feel. and you can install lastest zeam from market (not possible with 2.1).

but if you have some shell+linux knowledge you can do alot just with adb, whitout use any apps like titaniumbackup..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
With my previous (Windows Mobile) phones I immediately went for the lightest rom I could find, but then again, with WinMo you were allways assured you had the right hardware layer.

The Xperia X1 was great at everything except for the camera and making calls :(

I've searched but I can't find any stripped-to-the-bone standard 2.1 roms which should be easier than patching a new OS together from all kinds of sources like is being done right now.

But maybe I should just try a MiniCM Froyo and judge for myself :rolleyes:

Tomorrow's my birthday and I can finally unwrap my Mini Pro :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
there are some wicked good stable froyo roms out there for mini pro really, definately worth trying over stock rom. (and can always make a backup and revert if you dont like it ;))

also if you're handy with 7-zip you can pretty much clear any app you won't need/use on the phone by removing it from the rom zip file's /system/app folder. just be carefull not to delete anything you won't know for certain what it does tho!

Happy birthday!!
