The problem is that probably the hdd doesn't spin down.

The new G9 hdd versions have a seagate with a small ssd, and that will spin down well.

What sw do you have on that 70H?

Okay, so the time has come for me to get a new avatar. Some newb recently started using the same pic as me and serious cat is NOT amused! I, on the other hand, don't mind.

However, I've now decided that it's time for a change, so the question is, "I can has new cat face?"

Basically, it's the random image thread but it's for avatars, and I'm gonna use my favourite one that you lot post, cos I'm too lazy to scour the interwebs for mine own.

PS. It doesn't have to be a cat.

i was download some application from market. When i downloading the application, my internet connection was disconnect.

The application tht i downloading was stuck there.. after i resume the connection, market re-download again.. but PROBLEM COME.. The old download which stuck there never resume OR gone OR disappear from notification bar..

(i tried reboot phone~ clear market data~ clear market cache~ even force stop...)

Does any of you know how to solve this problem???

OF COX my x10 software is newest software which is 2.3.3!!

HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[XPERIA X10 General] hasei:
How about:

1. Make backup of all apps with Ti or Mybackup Root

2. Go into recovery and wipe cash

3. Reboot

4. If it still doesn't solve the problem, go into recovery and do factory reset (and restore apps later)

I must admit that this sounds more like a last resort to you and there must be more sophisticated way, but this should take care of your problem....

[HTC Incredible S] Hartefakt:
Hello,

Since a few days, my phone always give me this error : "Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low".

At the beginning, I deleted one or two apps. But the problem come back every day. At this point, I deleted all the apps I downloaded before. I have cleared the cache, cleared data of most of apps, deleted some SMS, some emails. Still have this problem. I cannot even install "Titanium Backup" to save some datas before to format the phone. I cannot do anything except answer the phone...

Does anybody know what can I do to fix this ?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
Someone else had this issue and IIRC it was contact photo's taking up a large amount of space or something?

Do you have rather a lot of contacts perhaps (i.e. several hundred)?
[HTC Incredible S] Hartefakt:
I have maybe ten photos. Less than one hundred contacts. And I haven't added many things recently. The only thing I have a lot is emails, on my GMail app and my Mail app, but after I have deleted many, nothing changed.

The weird thing is that the error message always come back a few hours after I clear some space. I don't get more emails or SMS during that time, it's like a ghost app is eating my space disk all the time. (This morning, after I have deleted all my emails, 5.34mb available. 10am : 5mb. 11am . 4.95mb. No SMS, no calls, nothing during that time.)
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
What does it say if you go to Settings -> Aplication -> Manage Applications.

Look at the bottom it says how much is used and how much is free.

You could move stuff to your SD Card to free some space on the Phone.
[HTC Incredible S] Hartefakt:
I have checked "Settings -> Application -> Manage Applications" but the total used and the total free is not displayed at the bottom.

I wish I could move something to the SD card, but except 50 photos, my SMS and Angry Birds, I have already deleted everything. Anyway, I appreciate the help.
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
I would do a Factory Reset and see if that solves the problem.
[HTC Incredible S] Hartefakt:
Finally it's what I did. After that, I installed the "Android Revolution HD" rom, and now, everything is working fine. :)

Obviously take a Nandroid backup as a starting point.

Use titanium Pro (costs) to backup your apps and data to your SD card and then copy the SD cards contents onto your PC.

[Xperia Arc General] ARC X12:
Build number is 3.0.1.A.0.145. I dont know if this is singapore or global since this is my 1st android phone.
[Xperia Arc General] hellocng:
I dont think it matters where the PCC update is available since we can all download the .ftf file from here to upgrade. The most important information is which regional firmwares have OTA update since that is what we need to keep root. On world generic .145, OTA was available but because I had modded system files (themes), I could not proceed with the upgrade. I'm downgrading back and restarting the process.
[Xperia Arc General] DemonicHawk:
Do you have an arc or neo? I have an arc and I tried to look for OTA update for global generic earlier today with no luck..
[Xperia Arc General] hellocng:
Arc. I knew that I could get an OTA because I had the auto-update turned on so I received a notification that I could get an OTA. However, like I said before, I could not proceed. I received the notification late last night. Currently flashing new rom. Let you know after. It might not work for everyone since the update server should be quite busy.

Unfortunately, OTA for my world generic ROM does not work. It upgraded me from .181 to .145 but after that, I could not find an update to .368. The thing is, now I remembered changing the CDA but I dont recall to what. Maybe UK generic or HK. Or maybe SE took the update off the server. It shouldnt be long, though, since Neo is getting OTA now.

This topic is related to .145 to .368 update

LOL! You sure you didn't check for updates earlier? I'm sure the .145 firmware must have been available in Saudi Arabia for quite some time (including the OTA update).

This thread is to inquire about the next update i.e. the .368 firmware, which isn't widely available yet.
[Xperia Arc General] micks_address:
not available in ireland yet?
[Xperia Arc General] kiz1983:
looks like many ppl still confused whether its available on their region or not..

if u obtain ur .145 root with ota previously using the method which is posted on arc forum, tht means urs is on generic rom, not on your region firmware anymore..

plz try to understand what you have been doing to your phone b4.. if not ppl will get confused either their region got the update already or not..

Hi,

I'm from Romania but I have the German Arc. I think unbranded , could not find any signs of branding.

When I got it it was on 3.0.A.2.181, I have rooted it using Gingerbreak then updated it via OTA, I am now on: 3.0.1.A.0.146 ( which I understand is only available for DE ) and did not loose root. I removed a few system apps (like timescape) using Root Explorer.

How can I update to .368 (preferably without loosing root) ? I have checked and there is no update available via OTA or PPC .... Shouldn't it be available since I have the unbranded German arc ?

For using FlashTool you need to have unlocked bootloader ? If not, do you need fastboot ?

[Xperia Arc General] orycel:
honestly, i'm getting frustrated with Android EcoSystem. I've been supporting Android however these OEMs really spoilt a good OS. They keep us waiting and don't even care to notify us. Maybe Google buying MOTO is a good thing so the rest can buck up. Makes me thinking of jumping to Apple garden.

p.s: sorry if i offend anyone...it's just i've grown tired of checking every 2-3 hours just to see that I got no update. Flash? I've paid a good amount to them, why should I go out of my way to get the update i deserve in the first place.
[Xperia Arc General] DemonicHawk:
Lets clear a few things up, first of all, SE is already one of the fastest OEMs to release the 2.3.3 update. Secondly, this .368 update has nothing to do with google, it is SE's own update to applications/UI customizations and whatnot.

Also, if you're using a carrier branded firmware, you shouldn't be blaming SE for the slow updates, you should be blaming the carrier for taking so long to approve/review them. SE has already been kind enough to release the generic firmwares from various parts of the world and if you don't want to flash it, that's your own fault.

As well, you don't deserve anything, you paid for the phone and the initial software, no where were you ever promised that SE will provide feature adding updates.
[Xperia Arc General] fgar82:
Totally right.. pluse Apple u will get one software and few little updates and u have to wait one year to get the new ios, and its so limited . by the way the phone also tells u when u have an update , eather by only connecting it to ur pc or a OTA auto pop message will show on both saying new update ( if not mistaken ) so relax and enjoy it...
