[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Lucky you, no Nordic yet for the Neo.

Not that it really matters, the difference between the customization versions is only a few removable apps and some browser bookmarks.

I'll just wait for OTA :P
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
Just tried with my German unbranded SIM free Arc, no update available, either via OTA nor via SEUS
[Xperia Arc General] Finalfour:
Main question: WHAT ABOUT WIFI PROBLEM? Maybe it solved in this new update... Can you check it, guys? It's the most bad thing in xperia ARC....
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I couldn't wait for my OTA update so I'm flashing our store demo with Wotanserver :-P
[Xperia Arc General] X3R0:
WIFI is much faster and completely stable for me now! :)
[Xperia Arc General] Finalfour:
Better than was before? Now i have known problem, when wifi disconects, but wifi icon stays as connected. And i hope, that new updates solves this problem.
[Xperia Arc General] nikhil381:
Update via SEUS

PC companion does not work for me... As soon as I start support zone it says failed to install application. Will I be able to download this OTA using SEUS ?
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
OTA = Over The Air ;)
[Xperia Arc General] XDAarc2011:
What about the battery? Any improvements?
[Xperia Arc General] nikhil381:
I mean yes I know OTA is over the air , but i belive u need to download this new build via PC companion. Now I have not had any success with it so far. Last time round I used SEUS for 2.3.3 update so I am wondering if it would also work for this new generic firmware update?
[Xperia Arc General] matteh80:
Cool, updating right now! Too bad i wiped my phone yesterday and have to do it again now... :)
[Xperia Arc General] nikhil381:
updating using PC companion or Flashtool ?
[Xperia Arc General] sausalito:
Yes someone recieved the official update?
[Xperia Arc General] pngface:
No idea about battery yet.. its not even been 24 hours!
[Xperia Arc General] pngface:
Oh one more change I noticed.. boots up really quick.. around 15 seconds or so now!
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
More like 25, but still a lot faster indeed.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
The same question as usual - does it keep all the device's data just like with the previous update?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Yes, as long as you do the update with the built-in OTA or with Sony Ericsson Update Service/PC Companion. Wotanserver does a full wipe, not sure about Flashtool.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Thanks mate.
[Xperia Arc General] disasterpiece07:
None for the Philippines, yet. Checked via PC companion.
[Xperia Arc General] diggedy:
if your flashing with flashtool just make sure you untick the box thats says "wipe user data" before you click go. That way you retain everything, I updated with flash tool and nothing was lost

Ive noticed they have updated the timescape widget layout, thats much better now. It also installs some more crap like wisepilot which you cant uninstall, thats a bit of a let down

another few changes ive noticed is the email app now sorts the emails better and also if you have sms, mail or missed calls it displays it in the launcher dock next to the app icon, a much needed feature imo!
[Xperia Arc General] romiltherock:
No update for India yet... :-(
[Xperia Arc General] arek1:
Hi All,

What about root, is it removed after updating or it remaining?
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
It's not available so noone can do the ota update to try it.

If you use PC Companion or SEUS root should be gone
[Xperia Arc General] imugur:
I have read through this forum but still I am not sure if the update is oficially available. Is there anyone that did the upgrade via SEUS, PC companion or whatever? can you post your customization number?

[Xperia Arc General] BenF1:
Im on .145 and no update as of yet. Generic UK firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Nobody has OTA yet, only Wontan and the guy starting the thread has it. :cool::cool:

Secret maffia?
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
It's a conspiracy! ;)
[Xperia Arc General] MaLt-:
UPdated through flash tool and this update is really worth it.

boot time is really decreased.. 20-25 seconds. :D

new animations. like widgets are now flowing on overview view, themes, and when you turn the screen off the screen closes like a tv just like the nexus S.

One welcome change is the ability to delete apps now in the app drawer.

xLoud is just great! :D

They've really improved on their launcher! :D
[Xperia Arc General] marcindpol:
guys you said there is video editor as well as data monitor added, but i just cannot find it:(, where is it?
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Video editor is already present on current .145 firmware!

But accessible only in the camera.

Question: How much internal memory is left now for the user?
[Xperia Arc General] marcindpol:
280 mb

Do you know where to find data monitor?
[Xperia Arc General] pngface:
There's a data monitor app as well as widget
[Xperia Arc General] marcindpol:
OK in this case data monitor is missing from my system, tried German and HK .368 on my NEO, both from wotanserver.com.

Also reinstalled the German one with SEUS, still no data monitor:(

Strange...
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
You are wrong, there is no german one yet. Not on Wotanserver and not on SEUS. There is a nordic one, with german language, but that is not the german generic firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] IntMD:
The data monitor app is on the market
[Xperia Arc General] marcindpol:
I know there is, but my question is why its missing from my system if its supposedly included in the latest update?
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
I got it on my current FW just from Marketplace.
[Xperia Arc General] Raoa:
Checked SE site, notice about this last update is no longer there???
[Xperia Arc General] imugur:
unbelivable!!! So it will be delayed...
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
Posted a video walkthrough as well as video & picture samples: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16317891#post16317891

Another new feature: The home screens/app drawer are landscape (ONLY) when using HDMI out.
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Its a conspiracy. SE wanted to test the new firmware and leaked it to xda and wontan to see any reactions and problems before they went global. :p;)
[Xperia Arc General] MaLt-:
guys, hows your battery life? mine seems to be draining faster..
[Xperia Arc General] lukesjeans:
yeah mines alot worse then before. I even switched to spb shell 3d and it drains fast!
[Xperia Arc General] tomatos:
mine too :(

But I now tested yet. Yesterday night uploaded I the new firmware with flashtool.

UPDATE: Where Is My Droid sad the Call Book and Favourites widget draining the battery. I deleted from the Homescreen.
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
That's probably why they took it off! Sometimes you have to wait
[Xperia Arc General] tomatos:
4 hour = 100% > 80% (~10 min/2call, 10 min market, at morning gmail sync on wifi, 30-40 min home screen touching, maked 2 photo with zoom, just 2G/Edge)

WTF!!! At night reflashing I the older fw 3.0.A.145!
[Xperia Arc General] SirRobin78:
I´ve also a big draining after 2 days of use - lost 14% in 2 hours! :(

The Call Book and Favorites widget is not on my homescreen, so there must be another thing...
[Xperia Arc General] tomatos:
Not just the Call Book and Favourites widget, another system widget or app, but I don't.

Maybe the new 2G/3G Data Counter??
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
It's not the data counter. I don't have it enabled and my battery drains much faster than before. Just checking two mails on the train to work and three Foursquare checkins, 1h30 off the charger and already down to 93%, while it'd usually stay 100% for a few hours after the charge.

I like the update, but it's not worth losing this much battery time. I'm reflashing to 3.0.2 tonight and waiting for the (hopefully fixed) OTA.

It might be why they took the update offline.
[Xperia Arc General] bustervic:
Weird, I am having better battery performance with the update. And the accuracy of the stock keyboard is greatly improved
[Xperia Arc General] don_gabrielli:
Same here. Battery drain is crazy compared to before and I am using the same widgets (i added none of the new ones to my homescreen). I reflashed to .145 and will wait till this new update is more widely available.
[Xperia Arc General] SirRobin78:
Hm...maybe the problem is that i´ve not wiped my user data? :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Raoa:
On Xperia neo

There are loads of new functions with new firmware that tend to run on background and drain a lot of battery. Mediaserver for example. I noticed it drained quite a considerable amount of battery. Disabled it.

I have a load of apps I dont need running on background which I usually keep killing with taskkiller(facebook, liveware, 2 digital clocks, Maps, FUN&downloads) since I consider em needless battery drainers.

Watched high res movie at night, Wifi has been on of 14 hours. Played some music for hours and for 8 hours phone was idle. 61% battery left after all that. That is a hell of an improvement from my last firmware - 3.0.A.....145.
[Xperia Arc General] ashman84:
Whaaaaaaaa?? :eek:
[Xperia Arc General] noob to xda:
Raoa, any problems with GSM reception or camera stutter as some have experienced with the Arc update?
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
did anyone experience problems with the ear piece, it kinda sounds distorted in the beginning
[Xperia Arc General] radheck:
Sony has removed the announcement of the upgrade of its website.................
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Yep, noticed it too. And when not playing any media I can hear some background static every X seconds.

- on the battery: it's not _that_ bad. 2.3.2 was a lot worse. But it's not as good as it was with the 3.0.2 update anymore unfortunately, and that is a shame! Let's hope SE doesn't keep on adding these bloatware apps.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
It doesn't matter.
[Xperia Arc General] Raoa:
None of those kind of issues. Camera seems to work much better than old firmware. My GSM reception has improved v e r y obviously as well.

Played 3 hour worth of movie and noticed static only with one avi player and only for few seconds.

Really, everything else is crisp, clear, clean, working a lot better.

I guess some FW for some region versions and for certain devices were buggy or at least more than what I got for my Neo.
[Xperia Arc General] Raoa:
If you update your ROM I recommend charging fully to 100% then delete /data/system/batterystats.bin. Then either let your battery drain to 0% until it shuts down on its own, or power down, remove battery, reinsert and restart.

I don't suggest anyone to pull the battery from system that is running. If you know Linux then you know that it starts checking your disk after every time it looses power when running.

Flash memory is certainly different than hard disk but better not risk and remove battery from running OS like some battery calibration guides may suggest.

My battery is a whole lot better after this update.

Always wipe battery stats after every new ROM installation!
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
The HK version has received the official update. The new FW provides much better smoothness along with some new features.
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Keeps the root?
[Xperia Arc General] romiltherock:
Another feature I noticed is the old CRT TV screen out like the Nexus S!
[Xperia Arc General] lastword112:
FOTA? or through SEUS ? no FOTA no Root =/
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
OK, we have new update in Sweden too but only via PCC and SEUS.:):)

No OTA :mad::mad:
[Xperia Arc General] rmk152:
No problems so far, unless i am using my phone different to others.

The only thing i miss is the Power Control widget :(
[Xperia Arc General] lastword112:
wtb fota, dont want to lose root or unlock bootloader. :(
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
German one still not available, you would think the EU's biggest market would get some attention first.
[Xperia Arc General] DemonicHawk:
The update is most likely delayed since it was removed from their site (link is in OP).
[Xperia Arc General] cja1972:
Just change your product code to 1247-1052 R9C and update via PC companion
[Xperia Arc General] cja1972:
Didn't lose root either. Had to use update rather than PC companion.
[Xperia Arc General] cja1972:
Ignore me. Root lost. :-(
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
For Swedish users, try this: 1246-8686 R3D :-) :-) :-)
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
What is this number for? And how do you use it?
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Gives you the new firmware from Sweden, use this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096394
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
OK so you have to flash?
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Root -> root explorer -> put the numbers (1246-8686_R3D) in the build.prop file under /system-> save-> restart-> Do an update with PCC-> Nice Nordic firmware and all bloatware can be removed. ;)

[Xperia Arc General] philansel7:
i heard that the official firmware is available for update in sweden ? is that true?

how can i check my phone .. region code ??
[Xperia Arc General] noob to xda:
It's probably the Telia branded FW that has rolled out, I'm on an unbranded Neo and neither PCC nor OTA offers me the new FW.
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Yes, Telia update in Sweden is out.
[Xperia Arc General] philansel7:
On PC companion i cannot check f0r the new Firmware :(

it says " Phone software update information currently not accessible "
[Xperia Arc General] Awesome_Aleks:
Yeah I've been getting that as well, OTA checks suggest no update though

I'm on AU Generic.
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
WTF! They pulled the Swedish Telia 4.0.A.2.368 off line. Now it says "update not available at this time" :confused::confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc General] kiz1983:
i guess they trying to fix the bugs b4 they made it public again..
[Xperia Arc General] Finalfour:
I don't know, i flashed yesterday new firmware and i can't see any bugs. Al working perfecto, gsm, 3g, all very good. No one problems, al widgets working perfecto. I think, there are no any bugs. Maybe SE removed new firmware only because they will be release 2.3.4 very soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdt73:

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] btc2003:
Gmap is upgraded to 5.8 but "download map area" did not appear in labs, only "scale bar" and "measure". Any idea?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
There is a way to enable it but you need to compromise...

Text will be almost unreadable. Do you still want it? :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
Anyway here it goes.

clear data and cache of gmaps. uninstall gmaps.

add this line;

ro.opengles.version=131072

to;

system/build.prop

then reboot. install gmaps. Voila! Horrible looking gmaps with offline browsing :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] steve_032:
I had the issue with horribly distorted maps a few weeks ago but I've gone back and checked just now and the issue seems to have resolved its self. I've also got a "bigger text" option in labs now, which I'm pretty sure has helped!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
Bigger text option definitely helps. Low quality graphics sucks though...

I use Locus instead to be honest. It gives me offline maps minus navigation.

When I need navigation I have Navigon and Ndrive installed.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] btc2003:
Thanks for the solution, but no other way to fix this without messing up the text?

btw, how to access to system/build.prop ? root explorer causes force close in my phone.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
Sorry mate, there is no other way... By the way you are not messing up the text. You are correcting it :D

Es file explorer comes with a root explorer. You need to activate it from the settings menu.

Or just try another root explorer. simples.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] PsyAnubis:
try to update Superuser app and su binary, or try with another file manager...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] omernaeem17:
i added that line to build.prop and now on restarting phone, the phone keeps refreshing the screen that says quietly brilliant and plays that bootup sound

now how can i edit build.prop, is their a way to do it via recovery/fastboot ?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] omernaeem17:
ok found a solution....If you have messed up your build.prop then you can boot in recovery(Clockwork MOD) and there you have adb access :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
It happened to me as well. It kept rebooting for a good 10 minutes. Then decided to boot up normally. weird...

HTC said that they will have to take out some apps and that Sense will be affected. Just give me a Gingerbread ROM that has everything else functional, I don't use Sense anyway. Maybe someone can release a stripped down version without any of the Sense visual enhancements.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] elliottg61:
There are loads of working gingerbread roms without sense....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sagarjawaress:
May be you can use miui Roms.They are way too better with great customization.

1 thing i have noticed about this build is that its really very fast sense build.

it boots very quickly and everything else is way better than other sense builds.

We really need new kernel so that we can use enjoy sense 2.1+3.0 builds.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
Name one that has a fully working camcorder. They all depend on the kernel. I use Typhoon's ROM, all is great but the camcorder. I tried MIUI and a few Sense ROMS, none of them had a fully functional camcorder (and I don't want 720p, 800x480 would be enough).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sjappie:

Would the Desire kernel source help to fix issue on non-Sense ROMS ?

BTW, a full Nand version for EU Users of this Rom would be nice indeed...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mertins:
Clk version? :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
I believe there is a strong possibility for fixing issues on all ROMs. Tytung/Rafpigna's kernels are used in clean AOSP and Sense ROMs. I think a full NAND version would not be that hard to make, we have to unzip, move everything in sd-ext to system and then zip the folders back again.

Thanks for your hard work creating builds for our beloved HD2 devices.

That said i downloaded your build and flashed it onto my EU version ( before reading the posted replies ) to notice the bugs that are mentioned before. Perhaps it would be wise to update first post with the bugs posted in your thread. As i and i`m sure others expected a fully working build with the bugs mentioned in the op.

Trust me i don't hold anything against you and once again i thank you for your work so don't shoot me for my comments :rolleyes:
