[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_lou:
Not long ago my girlfriend bought the SE Xperia Arc. She chose that model because video-recording is important for us. And it did record video nicely, with good audio as well.

Arc was too big for me though, so I bought the Neo, which turned out to give me way too low audio in video-recordings.

So I waited for Ray, which sadly also turned out to give way too low audio in video-recordings.

Then yesterday we updated the Arc, and now it also gives way too low audio in video-recordings.

Here is an example of what I mean: dewfall.dk/compare2.mp4

Earlier example of Arc with the old firmware and the Neo I tried: dewfall.dk/compare.mp4

So what I would like is some way to be able to adjust the microphone input gain level in video-recordings.

Can this be done?

(I don't know a whole lot about rooting and custom roms. I've only played a bit with rooting and roms on my T-mobile G1, but that was a long time ago now).

I've searched this forum a lot, and it seems that most people have the problem the other way around. Their mic records too loud.

So the Market has apps like Volume+ and VooDoo and Mic Gain, but as far as I understand they only work with a certain rom, which aren't available for Xperia Arc/Neo/Ray yet, I think.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When I'm in an application, music player, browsing the web or looking at an email, if I turn off the screen, NOT the phone, then reactivate the screen it always goes back to the home screen, why?

I want it to stay where I left it, not have to go back hitting applications to be where I was.

Is there any way of stopping this annoyance?

My milestone 2 doesn't do this, it stays where it was left.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
My Atrix doesnt do this. You must have ticked a setting box in a launcher or lockscreen to "always take you home". widget locker? Or a dif lockscreen? You chose this option the Atrix does not do it on its own.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] NikolaiT:
NOTE:

THIS GUIDE WAS CREATED WHEN WINDOWS 8 WAS IN THE DEVELOPER PREVIEW STAGE. IT MAY NO LONGER BE VALID, IT HASN'T BEEN TESTED WITH THE RELEASE PREVIEW OR RTM.

Well, I didn't have any DVDs available with me so I figured I'd install Windows 8 from an SD Card, and it succeeded, so here is a guide to install it from an SD Card or USB Stick.

AT LEAST AN 8GB SD CARD OR USB STICK IS NEEDED

THIS GUIDE ASSUMES YOU HAVE ANOTHER PARTITION TO INSTALL WINDOWS 8 OVER OR YOU'RE GOING TO INSTALL IT OVER YOUR CURRENT PARTITION. Learn how to create a new partition here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg309170.aspx

1. Download the ISO here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516

2. Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (this was meant for Windows 7 ISOs but it works fine with the Windows 8 ISO: http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe

3. Format your SD Card/USB Stick to NTFS, do not do a quick format, fully format it.

4. Install and open up Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (This application requires at least .NET Framework 2.0)

5. Choose your ISO:

6. Choose media type (choose USB!):

7. Insert your USB Stick or SD Card and select it:

8. Wait for it to finish creating your bootable USB Stick/SD Card:

9. You should see this, If you don't something went wrong:

10. Choose "Safely Remove G: (or whatever drive letter your USB stick/SD Card is.)", but don't actually remove the USB Drive or SD Card physically.

11. Shut down your computer and press F12 (or whatever button it is that lets you choose what media to boot off of, it's F12 on my Inspiron 1545.)

12. If you followed these instructions exactly, and you using an SD Card, but it does not work, your computer probably does not support booting off SD. But I urge you to repeat step 10 a few times before giving up, the first time I tried it, it just sat at a flashing _, but the second time, it worked.

13. Follow instructions setup gives you.

FAQ

Q: Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool seems to have stalled?!?

A: It probably hasn't, mine stayed on 98% for 30 minutes. If it has been more than say, 3 hours, cancel, reboot your computer and attempt again.

Q: Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool tells me it's not a valid iso!?

A: Make sure your ISO is not corrupt, compare SHA1 hashes with valid ISOs here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516

If the hashes are different, redownload your ISO.

Q: I'm using an SD Card but my computer won't boot from it?!

A: Your computer probably doesn't support booting from SD Card, the only option would be a new computer.

Ive got a 60gb partition on my hard drive, everytime i try to install win8 onto that partition it fails, its the same format as my C drive and my recovery drive and it will allow me to install on them fine but why not my new partition

im going to try one more time and i will take note of the error message so i can post it here

(once i finish formatting my drive.... again)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] NikolaiT:
Yes. You shrink your Windows 7 partition and use the unallocated space to create an NTFS partition. Yes, it will dualboot.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] stevenmu:
I found instructions on how to install to a VHD (virtual disk image) that you can then actually boot from at this site:

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Guide...s8DeveloperPreviewOffAVHDVirtualHardDisk.aspx

It saves having to repartition (or install over a current OS). It has actually failed for me so far, about 25% through the install I get an error about required files missing, but I seem always get that bloody error with every preview of Windows going back to at least W2K, so it may work well for some of you. Seems like the most risk free way to try.

I'm just about to try a different USB key set to boot using unetbootin, and if that fails I'll try the tip above about fully formatting with NTFS (I did a quick format). Maybe one of those will help.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] NikolaiT:
Take note of the Error, your computer, the format, what type of removable media you're using (SD card or USB stick), and the version of Windows 8 you're attempting to install. We may be able to help you then.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] iammodo:
Not sure I like windows 8.

All your apps being in that metro ui thing rather then the old program list.

But if you change the registry to remove it and get the old program list back you lose some explorer changes.

Cant be installed as an upgrade. Microsoft said it had to be installed as a fresh install. I have mine dual booting windows 7/8. Windows 8 allows dual booting natively. During start up you will see a boot screen. Default OS is set to windows 8 and the timeout is set to 5 seconds. If your quick at the bottom of the screen click change defaults or something like that. From there you can change your default OS or like I did extent the time limit to give you a chance to change to windows 7 if need be.
