[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] g33zy:
You have a right to be concerned. Got mine from GOSHUKI on amazon for $41 and i'm pretty sure it's a knock off. The words "Galaxy TAB" are poorly painted on and "SAMSUNG" on the other side looks spray-painted on because the edges are spotty.

The cover is some kind of fabric type of material that is very prone to scratches and looks crappy out of the box. Amazon offered me a full refund but since I won't be in the states until June I just kept it until I can go buy a real one that I can inspect myself.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] JCreazy:
There seems to be a lot of good reviews from those. I may just buy one and see what happens. If it is good enough I'll keep it, if not I'll complain to amazon, does anyone know a definite way to tell a real from a fake?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] JCreazy:
Well I just got mine today from goshuki, it doesn't look too bad but it is obviously a knock off. The thing that really pisses me off is that it isnt the revised version with the power button holes and what not. Anyone know who I should call at Amazon? They are full filling this crap for Pete's sake.

Edit to add, this thing doesn't even stand up

Wife was moaning at me the other day saying that I always get good

phones for myself and not for her (She's got a galaxy ace).

Anyway got a good deal on a Arc S.

So now I have got a few questions

Obviously for you wife/girlfriend you always want a stable,good battery & decent speed.

So do I stick with the stock rom or go custom?

If i stick with stock, is there are certain stock rom i should go for?

Is there a recommended stock rom + custom kernal setup?

If custom is the way, which one?

Also is there a simple way i can tell if my bootloader is locked?

Is there anything else i need to be made aware about the phone?

Many Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shihte:
she must install some working apn switch from the market and use data off when she is not browsing on net when has the phone in pocket ready for calls only also properly format battery which means charge battery from almost 0% to full for first month every charging,never start when is battery 30% etc and finish before is full charged,dont use any kind of task killer
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Romwise, cm7 is good though no bravia engine or xloud, a few minor screen/camera issues but usual cm pros i.e. Very fast and themable. Miui is also very good with it's own theming and usability functions, but can have iffy battery life. There's a couple of modded stock roms, arc tweaked and Arconium. I've used them all and use the last two as I prefer the se ui. Generally battery life can vary hugely, mainly kernel dependent(doomlords posts) and how the phone is used. There's a code somewhere here that you can use in the dialler to find out if bootloader can be unlocked, but generally if it's payg or some contracts then it won't, initially. Vodafone contract phones are unlockable, but if it's not sim-free then you may need to pay, try alejandrissimo on this forum. Try stock first, but with bootloader locked it means no custom kernel therefore no overclock, cm7, miui etc.

New batteries don't need that anymore ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shihte:
meant that stock rom is good enough
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyXperia:
I would definately recommend stock. It's stable, SE's home launcher is fast and easy to use, and there's enough stuff in the development section for the stock ROM. I tried a tweaked stock ROM, CM7 and MIUI, but I always returned to stock because it's superior at the moment.

I would certainly root the phone and remove bloatware (maybe install the Arconium ROM, see development section). Also, I use the app CPU Tuner, which get's another 2 hours out of your battery by underclocking it when the screen is off.

What phone do you own yourself by the way :D ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owen1978:
Thanks everyone for your advice

Read in the dev forum that supercharger might be a good option? is it necessary? does the phone lag without it?

My first phone was a HTC Hero, loved it - great amount of roms then back in Jan this year i bought a HTC Desire - and thats got a great amount of roms too.

I noticed for some reason there doesnt seem to be a huge amount of development in SE Arc forums, which is unfortunate as i am a SE Fan.

My next phone is going to be the galaxy nexus as I am a big fan of vanilla android, but i have got my eye on the SE Nozomi.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
With stock rom then supercharger would be a recommendation, miui or cm7 don't need it and the modded stock roms already have tweaks built in.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
i would say keep stock (it's nice and complete), root and remove all of the bloatware, use Titanium BackUp to move apps2sd the easy way and look around in themes section for nice UI tweaks and some extra SE widgets.

I'm happy with it (thus far...) and i am 'the wife' too :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owen1978:
It came with .42 firmware so i upgraded it to .58 today and removed all the bloatware not going to bother moving apps to sd.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
I've rooted my Arc S, deleted JunkApps and installed V6 SuperCharger.

And it's more than stable, quite good battery (I'm only charging every 24 hours), and about the speed I'm really satisfied. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinaryXeroMedia:
the code to check if boot loader is locked is *#*#7378423#*#*

And is under >service info>configuration and will say unlocked bootloader allowed: YES if you can unlock it.

Hope that helps

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quibble8:
Got an Arc S on the way - is there a quick list anywhere of the junk / pointless apps that can be removed? I'll probably start with rooted stock (with the junk removed) before thinking about something else.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owen1978:
Just if anyone is interested....

My wife has got the T-Mobile £7.50 sim so I really just wanted a new handset for her

So...

Using TopCashBack Site i went to dialaphone website and got the following offer

Free SE Arc S (White) Unlocked, Bootloader unlockable, unbranded

free delivery

02 24m £21.50 500mb data

£110 Auto cashback after 22 days

Got TCB to match quidco for dialaphone £50.50

Cancel the data after cashback claim paid by TCB

Cancel gadget line trial

So my contract goes down to £15.50pm

after 9 months are up drop down a tariff to £10.50pm

So assuming my maths is correct, the phone will end up costing me..

2 x 21.50

7 x 15.50 (after data removed)

15 x 10.50 (drop down a tariff)

plus £160 cash back

£149
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris911t:
Since I can't post in the main thread in the development section, I wanted to make sure I have the right kernel for the CF-Root process after reading the post I've quoted at the bottom of this post.

My phone is on Android 2.3.4 and XWKI4.

The latest rooting kernel that I seem to be able to get from the CF-Root thread is:	CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip

That seems to have CWM4 in it so I'm worried that I'll have the same problem as the poster below, (since he is also on KI4)?

Thanks in advance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Reply (lt_ler):

As I do not trust your signature, please post your current ROM and kernel versions.

Then it is a lot easier to recommend a corresponding CF-Root kernel which will root your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
you have the correct cfroot for the version you have posted..

other poster did not read or know what he was doing.

IV4.4.KI4tar does not exist.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Honestly, pretty much any of the CF-Root kernel versions will work.

I realize that people like to keep the same kernel as the stock ROM and that this is the philosophy behind it, because I am one of them, but in reality, the kernel version itself doesn't change enough to make any significant difference.

Try it out. Flash any version with any Stock ROM.

Bet they all work. I tried a few (not all) and they all worked fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris911t:
Thanks

Thanks. I'm just getting started on all this, so apologies if I'm being a bit dense :)

I understood that using the same version (KI4 etc) would be useful in avoiding the "yellow triangle" thing where you have to do some fiddling about re-flashing with the same version ID. I could probably just about manage to recover from a situation like that, but I'd rather not take any more risks than I have to (being a noob at this).

Since Cosmic Blue has confirmed that I have the right kernel, I'll use that and keep fingers crossed. One day when I get better at this I may be more adventurous!

Thanks to both of you for the help :)

Hello,

Does Anyone know, which folder of programms belongs to which programm.

I want to be able to save my "savegames" of my games.

Or easyly bring .pdf or .docx to my phone.

Or the .pdf from my phone to the PC.

Can somebody help me?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
Save games will be tricky as they all are located in their own folder.

Documents are stored in \My Documents\

Pdf's are stored here \Applications\Data\BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11-A490-00237DE2DB9E\Data\IsolatedStore\

Copying them "easily" is not an easy task. For the pdf's I suggest you sideload adobe pdf reader app and than use wppowertools to connect to the iso storage of this GUID BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11-A490-00237DE2DB9E, now you will be able to see all pdf files and copy them easily to the pc. Alernatively if you own a samsung you can use WP7 Root Tools or DiagProvXML (which has built in copy pdf to office hub, from which you can email the pdf).

Docs can not be accessed and will need to be transfered trough skydrive or mail.

The problem you guys are dealing with is that all you can get is flash lite 3.1 on winmo. That equals flash 7 - which is really old. Current flash version is 11 and most pages demand at least flash 9.

So even if you get your browser to use the flash plugin, it won't be accepted. Solution? Get a new phone or accept it. Hardware isn't up to the task as well.

It is so refreshing to come across a service that actually works and delivers an excellent level of service, without the usual quibble.

From booking the repair to receiving my repaired HTC desire was just 7 days. This 7 days included a weekend, pickup and delivery to my home.

Excellent service (no I dont work for HTC).
