Hi there im a new xperia arc user, well i droped my phone and the glass cracked(very easy). Then i sent it to sony ericson service and they told me that the repair cost is 147 euro :eek::eek:. Is that normal price for just a glass? does anybody know?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
The glass probly not that much, but the labor I think that is more than anything
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreyGhostRos:
Cost i have no idea..

But with touch screen glass is not just glass..

It could be The Capacitivie touch screeen or the LCD or both..

Just guessing.. No idea what they cost.. You should find out if someone else had an equivalent repiar job done and price they paid..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah i did the same thing, i was told £180 pound.

The screen is fine its the digitizer that is cracked like yours, i picked one up on ebay for £24.

Arrived fine, was OEM. just need to fit it myself, or find someone to fit it for me.

Their is a actual manual from SonyEricsson in .pdf format that explains how to take the screen out.

If you want it, ill try to find it on my laptop

EDIT: Its here anyway's

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexSpart:
Hmm ty guys for your help, as i see im gonna pay that 147 euro as i dont think i could manage to put that glass myself..stupid service :mad::mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
you cant get a standalone digitizer for arc. It comes as a pair with digitizer and lcd. I tried changing just digitizer and screen stopped working. You can get it on ebay for about £50
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexSpart:
If i understood corectly u bought a digiter and u tried to put it on your own, but screen didnt worked.. would it be waste of time if i tried? what do you think?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Thanks for the .pdf :)

Do you have a link to where you got yours from? As my ARC been off since I dropped it and i'm getting fed up of my symbian Vivaz :mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
That is correct. The screen and the digitizer come as one assembly. When I tried to take the digitizer off on its own the lcd screen back panel ripped off and wouldnt work again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexSpart:
I see..thank you for your information and your time, u was very helpful to decide what im gonna do.. im gonna give 147 to sony ericson service for not having troubles in my mind!! Anyway, sone ericson dissapointed me..i searched on youtube for instructions to replace the digitizer and lcd on phones (for example nokia) and i found it very easy job, easy enough to do it your self..:rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
if you buy it from ebay its very easy to install it yourself but i will warn you staright away the quality of images will decrease. When I replaced mine i was very disappointed. Blue colours became greener, and lines appeared when tilting phone. Much better to let sony do it but it is very expensive. Nearly half the price of the phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
The screen quality should only decrease if it's not original screen from sony.

There are screens on ebay that are original.

Beware of imitations.

I'm buying one today so hopefully get my arc back up and put this Vivaz back in the drawer lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexSpart:
well, good luck with your arc!! :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
yh says genuine and original but they are not. Post back here see if you can see a difference. I noticed it instantly.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Jinx i got mine from here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/daisy_macau/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Also Soldier33, how did you manage to pull your screen off, did you disemble the connections then pull it off with a suction cup of something ?

This is my main concern, is pulling the screen off, as i dont think you can push it out from inside the phone !
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Well we see he swears it's OEM and I have my girlfriends ARC to compare very closely so just gonna go for it :)

Thanks found a seller now :)

It's easy took mine apart last night a suction cup I got with an Iphone screen a while back just pulled it out. As your right it can't be pushed out from the back.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
I might give it a try tomorrow then, will post results, if it goes well.

If it dont go well, i wont be on this forum for a while lol :S
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
I used the suction cup from my shower sponge lol. It was big enough to hold on and not too small to come off with force. But make sure you pull it from the buttons side not the top or you will rip the ribbon cable.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Thanks for the tips. Also does the screen come out with the digitizer?

I mean are they liked stuck together with glue or any thing?

Because i just need to replace the digitizer, but worry about the screen not staying in

Sent from my Arc to your eyes.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
yh screen and digitizer are together and like I said above they are one part you cant replace just the digitizer and if you try you can break the lcd just like I did.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Dam that's not good news.

So did you just get a lcd/digitizer kit pre packed as one part. Because iv seen them on Ebay for about £54

Sent from my Arc to your eyes.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
This is the one i'm getting HERE he states it's OEM so gonna give it a shot and it's already pressed into the front frame so the job is fool-proof lol

I found though it is possible to seperate the digitizer bu peeling back the foil backing
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
Yh its the one for £54. No i tried peeling the foil backing off and there was this wierd liquid there but screen was still attached to digitzer then when putting the foil back the screen wouldnt show nothing just black.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
I think the foil has something to do with the back lighting to the LCD panal.

Was there not a way to pull the digitizer screen off from the front of the LCD panel?

Like trying to easy it off that you could see.

Looking at this picture they seems to be a small gap between the two.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
thats exactly what I thought. I thought if I pull the foil part that the screen will come off too but the foil came off and the actual lcd panel stayed stuck on so I broke the screen I was replacing. Best thing to do is to get a full set.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah im starting to think that just getting the full set like jinx did or the screen/digitizer combo would make it easier.

Thing is iv already brought the digitizer which is sitting in my draw lol.

Oh well its still cheaper than the £180 the carphonewarehouse qouted me.

The robbing Bas**rds lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
I actually bought a seperate digitizer too. But then found out its as one part. So I sold it on ebay again but for a cheaper price. Just take off a couple of quid from the lowest one on ebay.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah think i might do that, instead.

I would say keep it as a spare, but it seems worthless with out the tools/knowledge how to dissemble the screen from the digitizer.

Hoping others read this and take notes before placing orders on parts
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zup2sky:
Has anyone successfully removed the screen without damage?

I am planning on replacing full housing.

Will this suction cup be strong enough to pull the screen?

Any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
Yh should be easy to remove with that. It might look like you are pulling to hard but dont worry. You will soon feel the sticky adhesive giving up. Also dont hold the phone at the sides as you will be holding the screen too. Try to hold it right below the buttons and something at the top too.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Just an update :) My screen came from HERE and have been using it for days now.

The screen came complete with digitizer, front and tools.

It came very well packaged and sooner than I expected. The communication with the seller was A* and the product IS OEM.

Would highly recommend :D

Saw this on sale this morning:

http://1saleaday.com/wireless/

Even thought I'm an android user I've had a Zune HD for a while and love the Metro UI. This seems like a good price, should I go for it?
[Venue Pro General] dilzo:
Well I got mine for £179.99 via the dell website as a swarm so it's really your choice. But I would wait for the lower price
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
why not get the 16bg version from dell for $299 (or $199 if you buy something over $700)

The sale you linked to is only the 8gb version. (which dell doesn't sell anymore)

http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-ven...&baynote_bnrank=2&baynote_irrank=0&redirect=1
[Venue Pro General] 433Mhz:
It was on sale here in Germany for 200€ a few weeks ago. Yesterday it was on sale for 175€. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Maybe someone will port Android now.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
I almost bought it but then I saw that its only the tmobile 3g bands
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
No need to downgrade a perfectly good WP7 device with android! :)
[Venue Pro General] 433Mhz:
It would still be awesome to have both ;)
[Venue Pro General] genaldar:
What is it the HD2?
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
get it from dell.. it has att and tmobile bands
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
feh :) some one should port wp7 to the normal venue. I don't need to stink'n keyboard :)
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
The keyboard was the number one reason I got a DVP. Otherwise why not just get a Focus or HD7?
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Me too. I use the hardware keyboard all the time, unless I'm just typing a word or two. Very good keyboard in my opinion.
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
no focus on T-mobile... :P
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
3G works on either one or the other... you have to choose when ordering. There is no such thing as a DVP that has 3G on both AT&T and T-Mobile.

The T-Mo version is a better bet for world-wide use because it has not only 2100 but 900 support. The AT&T one has only 2100 for non-US use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will32:
I've tried sz's and tiamats sbc kernel on miui and neither one seems like its working, I still drop 10% in 30 minutes. what am I doing wrong. I'm charging all night long.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
A good battery calibration is a good way to start.

Here's my method:

Plug and charge til full, with phone off.

Unplug, turn it on for about 5 minutes.

Turn it off, plug it in and charge for one hour.

Unplug it til the light goes off, then plug it back in.

Once the light turns green, repeat this step, unplug, then replug til green, about 10 times.

Boot to recovery, wipe battery stats, boot to system.

Also, I've been running Tiamat 4.0.7 all week, and it's better than 4.0.6, but not quite as good as 3.3.7 was.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natodu:
I asked about this on the MIUI forums the other day and someone told me about a battery calibration tool and the market. I guess it deletes the .bin file... It worked fine for me. On light use i'm on 15 hours at 80%
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo4gLI:
I used that battery calibration app as well, and my 3.3.7 SBC works just fine on MIUI. That being said, I got miserable results from 4.0.7 SBC. It gave me wakelock issues which were resolved by going back to 3.3.7. It's all about finding what works best on your phone.

hi i recently came across the new RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_4.05.401.02_Radio_5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE rom which is the europe unbranded mango rom i successfully flashed my o2 uk rom to this update without using any of the hspl flashing techniques so this way will remain updateable even through zune so here goes

Step 1- download this rom http://www39.multiupload.com:81/fil..._5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar.zip

Step 2- extract this rom 2 a folder and name it something like update part 1

Step 4- download this mango rom http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo..._RELEASE.exe&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155708495051

Step 5 extract the rom you downloaded in step 4 to a folder named update part 2 then drag the modeid file you downloaded in step 3 into your update part 2 folder

Step 6 flash your phone using the romupdateutility exe file in your 1st update folder at the end of this u will receive an error 270 dont panic as this is supposed to happen

Step 7 now time to flash again go to your update part 2 folder this time and click on the romupdateutility exe file and allow it to flash at the end of this you will have a fully unbranded mango 2 rom on your phone with all the updated radios

r u sure u r putting ur phone in bootloader mode u need to do this before flashing and u can do this by turning ur phone completely off then holding the the volume down button only while pressing the power button on u shud see a tricolour screen then when you go to flash it should recognise ur phone let me know if this helps
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Perlnx:
There may be a misunderstanding occurred.

Try to rename filename and extension from "ModelID.fig" to "ModelID.bmp" (quote not include).

You will see a real file of ModelID.fig..

It's just image not hardware id.

The real hardware id was specific into the Rom in the offset 0x0220.

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dcuk7:
I had an interesting issue with this ROM today. I charged the phone fully overnight and when I woke up I disconnected the charger (noting the 100% battery charge) and switched the phone off. I drove to work and parked up in the car park and switched my phone on (again, at pretty much full charge). From the time it took me to walk from my car to getting to my desk (about 10 minutes tops) the phone was showing 36% battery!

I plugged it in to my work computer via USB to charge it again hoping it would work and it took about 15 mins to charge to full. Obviously I know that is strange so I left it for a while with battery saver on. I checked it 15 mins later and it was showing 70% battery.

I pulled the battery out and reinserted it and switched the phone on. Upon restarting the battery showed 99% charge. I left it pretty much all day then on battery saver mode and when I checked it whilst leaving work the battery showed 90%.

I have no idea what caused this issue but was wondering if anyone else has had any strange battery readings?
