[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobage:
I think you got a defective unit in the first place.

If i were you, I would wait for Sony Ericsson ‘Aoba’ & ‘Nozomi’ 1.5GHz dual-core phones. 1.5GHz dual-core smartphone with Adreno 220 graphics and a 1280 x 720 pixel display (true HD resolution).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmaori:
Thanks for your replies. It woiuld make sense to wait til the dual core but it would be nice to have a good looking phone again...:D

keyword : keep up with the updates.

when arc first came out, it has 2.3.2 preinstalled. several updates later, now we are at 2.3.4.. lots of diference. better performance, better batery life, lots of new features... everything is a lot better then 2.3.2.

btw, last time i check arc s doesn't have a FF camera :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
squalldua - you're right no FF camera on Arc S.. it's basically an arc with a faster processor.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriangoh:
I agreed.

Do you think SE will stay with this design and upgrade the hardware inside with better processor and gpu? (like what they did with Arc S with processor upgrade).

I will sure get one dual core and upgraded gpu SE phone in future. I see the rumour dual core design is kinda ugly. I like the arc beauty design very much already. :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmaori:
How do you make video calls without a FF camera? That's one of the features that they said is different about the S? Would you say the S would be as fast as the Galaxy s2 with the new processor?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
> How do you make video calls without a FF camera? That's one of the features that they said is different about the S? Would you say the S would be as fast as the Galaxy s2 with the new processor?

You CAN make video calls because even if there is no front camera. Use the back camera, use a mirror, or whatever resorcefulness you can think of.

Galaxy S2 is dual core and of different architecture (it is not Qualcomm / Adreno combo). So you cannot just compare it in that manner. It depends on your use. For instance on my Arc, I even downclock to 600+ Mhz and I am happy with the performance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmaori:
The whole idea of video calling is that you can see each other while you are talking and using a mirror to be able to do that is just stupid. I'll stick with the s2 :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Neo has front camera, and same spec as arc otherwise.. If that's important to you?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
Yea but it'sa smaller screen
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
I would stick with the gs2 you will miss the memory!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
I like trying different phones and owned a sgs2, sensation and evo 3d recently. I have never tried Sony Ericsson before and thought will give it a shot. I bought the Xperia arc yesterday from Amazon USA since the arc s is not available here still. I have to say i'm impressed by how light it feels and also has great looks. I'm also impressed by the display even compared to super amoled plus in sgs2. This one is more realistic display than the amoled one. But on the hardware side its a letdown. I didn't even know that this doesn't have a front facing camera until I read here :)

I mean cmon that is basic in 2011, anyway I don't use video calls so doesn't bother me that much.

Sony Ericsson has great potential if only they can keep up to pace with HTC and Samsung on the spec side.

Hopefully the dual core phones from Sony release before the quad core phones start coming out.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiyu727:
Why do you even need a dualcore let alone a quadcore ??

Im very satisfied with single core on my Arc ...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
Because I see the difference of speed, performance on stock sgs2 or even sense bloated sensation to an extent. Also why not have the dual core when it is available for quite a while now? Its not going to harm you in any away. If we go by your logic then why is Sony releasing dual core phones at all?

Don't get me wrong this is a nice phone but lacks a little power that's it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Isn't the arc s with same processer just overclocked?

U can overclock upto 1.9 Ghz with DooMKernel...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squalldua:
i'm confused, you don't use video call and complaining arc has no FF ?? :confused:

here we go again, "dual core is better then single core" debate.. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
I said it is surprising to see a flagship Android device from a company not have front facing camera in 2011. I said it doesn't bother me because I don't use it, but it is good to have cuz you never know it may come handy some day.

Again if you are happy with the phone with single core that is fine :) ...I was just saying that Sony Ericsson should be little early into the game in terms of specs if they have to compete for global sales with HTC and Samsung.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
Maybe you imagined it incorrectly to say its stupid. The mirror is used so you can see the arc display and not yourself. And if you're really not happy with that... plug the arc hdmi to a display output and point the rear camera to your face, then watch your video call in full screen. It takes some thinking and effort, but you have exmor R quality video call.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobblack:
Curious what you guys think about the need for an antivirus app on an Android device. Since it's a Linux kernel, I don't know if it makes a lot of sense to install such an app. Are there other threats that could warrant using antivirus on Android?

Do you have an antivirus app installed?

Xoomed from my xda app using send.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotslashshawn:
I am currently using dr web. I would always recomend antivirus, the larger the marketplace the more you're going to see virus is written for androids. Never hurts to be prepared.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragicremedy:
You are going to get some mixed answers about this, the problem with anti-virus is it uses more cpu so that means a bigger drain on your battery and performance.

If it is effective or not at identifying threats and stopping them....that is hard to know for sure.

[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
Hey all,

I just got a replacement epic 4g for my broken one. However I also have a boost account using a bad esn epic 4g which I reprogrammed for my boost account.

Is there any reason not to sell the new one? Like, are the newer epic 4gs somehow better than my year-old one? Other than this I might as well keep the bad esn phone, right?

Thanks for your comments!
[Streak 5 General] danielkaboom:
I've been using GS23 for almost 2 weeks, really loving it,..but I found something that when I try to tether my wifi,..its turn on and clients can see the wifi but cant connect to my dell streak. So I come up with an experiment,..i pull Gpio.apk and GpioSleepMode.apk from Stock ROM 354 (as I use stock ROM 354 before flashing GS23) and using root explorer,..copy both file to /root/system/app/. After that doing reboot,...and it solved my problem of tethering.

For random reboots and freeze,..im changing some value in build.prop and init.streak.post_boot.sh,...after that,..it runs very smooth and no freeze or random reboots,..ussually I used v6supercharger and setcpu to boost my ram and performance,..but changing value inside those file makig me no need both of them. Fast and stable (atleast for me its work).
[Streak 5 General] lordmorphous:
Share with us the values you changed in build.prop and init.streak.post_boot.sh

Yes please share. Maybe u should post this in the Gingerstreak thread.

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 General] danielkaboom:
I don't know if its take effect or not (im not understand about software enginering), I found it trough trial and error,..and this value suits me best.

In build prop :

- persists.maxcpukhz=1190400

- dalvic.vm.heapsize=48m

added argument :

-windowdsmgr.max_events_per_sec=220

In init.streak.post_boot.sh:

-echo 64 > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_fb/0/bpp

-echo 8

-echo 8

-echo 16

-echo 1

Setprop gsm.version.baseband GAUSB00000

- echo 4096

- echo 256

- echo 4096

- echo 256

Edit : I really dont understand about software enginering,...

if any1 kind enough to explain the usefull each line of argument, ill be very gratefull.,...thanks.

Edit2: I forgot to mention,...my baseband always show GAUSB1A140314-EU,..instead of unknown or 00000

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
I installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery but when I hit reboot into recovery it goes into the normal android recovery screen. I also tried doing a backup of my old rom but it just reboots into stock recovery screen and doesn't actually do the backup. I tried installing ROM from SD, same thing. I've tried different recovery versions (2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.2) but they all do the same thing. I'm rooted and it has superuser permissions, so that's not the problem. I have ROM manager premium. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ROM manager. Please help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkkaranrk:
Try installing it through stock recovery. (reinstall pakages)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
What firmware you using?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
rom manager is only good for eclair and froyo

there isnt a correct update.zip for the captivate on gingerbread.

if on gingerbread flash a kernel with CWM (clockwork) built in.

if on froyo/eclair you must select *reinstall package* from android recovery TWO TIMES in a row!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
except FROYO has recovery3e also.....it will not allow unsigned update.zip files.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
Ok. I'm on Froyo 2.2. Stock firmware. Trying to get either Fasty II or Cyan. First time doing all this. :P All this started with the GPS problem... (I know, I know. There's a thread for that.) Plus, I am interested in other ROMs. Just praying I don't kill my phone in the process.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you need to look at Odin/heimdall a CWM kernel, or fixing your recovery 3e to accept unsigned zips
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
^That. Fasty II needs Gingerbread bootloaders
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
OK. Well, really, I think I'd like to go Gingerbread. I dunno. There's too many to choose from. I want to get CWM working first. Where's the forum to install manually? There's so many places to look...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you are going to GB flash a leaked stock first that contains boot loaders. Does your phone take well to 1 clicks?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
Augh! I used Odin to flash the kernel. I had a temporary success. I had cwm up and it backed up my old rom. I rebooted twice into cwm. Third time, it reverted back to old android recovery. Like I said... Augh!

-Typed while driving on my Captivate- [:p]
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
Flashed it again. Got CWM back up. Now, moving on to figuring out getting gingerbread. Any tips here are greatly appreciated as long as they make sense.

Also, what is 1 clicks?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Odin 1 click that will flash a leaked stock rom like 2.3.3 KF1 or 2.3.4 KH3 or 2.3.5 KI2. If they include Bootloaders you can just flash a cwm kernel and ready to flash any rom you like.

"This is real AI..."

Sorry, but no. The sheer amount of stored data required to actually accomplish a true "AI" won't be fitting in a smartphone anytime soon, and until someone has an always-on, 10+mb downlink network as a normal mobile broadband connection, it certainly won't be cloud based either. This will be nothing more than very very good speach-initiated actions.

On a related note, don't be surprised if ICS also beefs up it's speech control. It's been a long time since pico tts was implemented, and now with the standard amount of storage space in smart phones they can afford to inject a bigger database.

Is this a joke? Siri? Voice recognition with included internet search compatibility? Wow!!! Amazing!!! Not. Apple will be able to spin it as a ground breaking development to the idiot masses although this technology already exists and all that's different is more integration with voice command. On top of that it's boring and not as useful as they like to make it look. If this is all Apple's got it's pathetic. I don't even feel like responding to Apples non sense any longer is warranted. Let them sue everyone on the planet, they know their days are numbered and see the writing on the wall way better than I can.

[General Topics] YourMainDude:

[General Topics] krohnjw:
Well, no carrier stocked the Nexus One in their stores either (US).

When Google set out with the Nexus S they got away from distributing the phones themselves and needed someone with a distribution network in place. They partnered with Best Buy in the US and Car Phone Warehouse abroad to accomplish this. Part of the agreement was that it remained an exclusive device (for obvious reasons).

This gave them not only an established distribution network, but also a partner who could advertise to a broad customer base and get a hands on experience with the device. Every Best Buy had a Nexus S on display and they pushed it for the holiday season (Dec 16th release). This potentially drew in customers from other mobile networks who handled the device as well as gave existing mobile subscribers the chance to get a "hands on" with the device before purchasing. This was a huge step forward.

If you want to blame someone for not having it on AT&T's site, blame AT&T. They are the only ones who control that content. Best Buy has it listed for new lines as well as upgrades.
