[Xperia Arc General] nabel_sweed:
firmwares for Sony Ericsson arc can download from WotanClient

Honest, I do not know What's new in Version now I will be downloading now.
[Xperia Arc General] LenAsh:
Careful! D and C versions are BRANDED only
[Xperia Arc General] gabimx:
how can i get it?
[Xperia Arc General] grillorojo:
Unique brand meaning? Explain please.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Branded means with carrier bloatware.
[Xperia Arc General] LenAsh:
Unless you are in Israel or on 3 UK, and you like heavy carrier customisation, you REALLY DO NOT WANT THESE.
[Xperia Arc General] adrianom:
I disagree, I flash this ROM yesterday and she is very fast and have a new baseband.

You have to clean the bloatware first, but after that she is very good.

I am going to test the battery and baseband today, but so for, so good.
[Xperia Arc General] jetdite:
You cleaned your rom. I assume that you managed to have root access on this rom? Can you show me how?

I did flash this rom with wotan but failed to root it with DooMLoRD_v3.
[Xperia Arc General] poweronat:
my arc-s is not flashable via wotan or sony software, only via recovery and .zip images.....

so is there a way to convert the dlded files from wotan to get useable files for recovery?

cheers
[Xperia Arc General] adrianom:
I flash the DoomLord kernel, but if you don't have the bootloader unlock you can't flash from .48 or .58 version, is the same.

[Xperia Arc General] PavelX1:
Hi, from version 2.3.5 (only few days old) Wotan DOES support flashing all xperias with unlocked bootloader too. (simple - Wotan can flash any xperia now - with locked or with unlocked bootloader (unlocked by official tool or by testpoint)

[Xperia Arc General] augie7107:
Too bad this wasn't 2.3.5
[Xperia Arc General] PavelX1:
2.3.5 its version of Wotan client, not Android
[Xperia Arc General] poweronat:
Thx PavelX1, will give it a try.
[Xperia Arc General] somedude67:
installed this via wotan but zergrush wont root it? is there anyway to root this fw version? Looks ok really want to use this one as opposed to .58. Also looking to root without unlocking the bootloader.

Hello,

I just enabled a2sd, on my HTC Desire, and I have moved the cache and the data (In-short Everything) to the SD card so now 208Mb free out of 218Mb. I have the stock SD card, it's class 2. So after I moved the data to the SD I feel that applications take like 3-6 seconds to open sometimes less and sometimes more. I was wondering what SD class I should buy?

I am not interested in SD cards by their price or storage. My only concern is fast random access. Because as far as I have red till now, you may get a class 10 SD card and get disappointed because still the performance will be slow and it maybe even slower than the class 2 card I use now. So if I am not wrong, and what I should check in an SD card is the random access please tell me your suggestions for my new SD card, and if possible the random access speed of your suggestion.
[Desire Accessories] nickabbott:
Well I was researching for a MicroSD card and decided on the 32GB SanDisk MicroSD card which I paid £24.99 and free delivery in the UK, although I paid £5 for postage as I wanted it fast!! :D

I would say this is exactly what I found, perfect card and not had any issues with it at all! It's a class 4 but like you say, random read / writes are most important!

[Desire Accessories] wings400:
Consider only class 4 or class6 cards. With class 10 there is speed writing large files but because of that the random access writing of small files is very slow. Class 2 cards on the other hand are "just class 2 cards". Class 4 is good but for desire for the most speed comes from a class 6 card. Even if you want to record 720p video you need a class 6 card. I have had a class 4 and the video was laggy.

I guess I can post links now...

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011.html

How "fast" is a card determines it's class:

What we actually care about, random writes between 4kb (one simple write) to 512kb (more heavy sustained writes):

Let's say you see MemoryStar class 10 doing over 20mb/s write speeds and go all "holy dildos this is freaking amazing!!!", but then you take a look at the random writes benchmarks, where it is doing only 1.1mb for 512kb blocks and 0.01mb for 4kb blocks.

Compare that to Sandisk Mobile Ultra class 4, doing just a tiny 16mb/s, but instead can write at 2.7mb/s using 512kb blocks or 0.025mb/s using 4kb blocks (2x faster).

Which one do you choose between the two, at the same price? The class 10 or the class 4?

Dang, that's quite a citation. I ordered a 16gb Class 10 last week because it was the same price as the Class 6s I was seeing--looks like I didn't get as great a deal as I thought.
[Desire Accessories] Terepin:
It isn't question of class but I/O controller.
[Desire Accessories] BombaUcigasa:
Ah, but now you have a huge capacity of storage, and you can transfer files quickly :)

Depends on the maker, not all designs are equal. Make sure to install this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sdincrease.it

My best choice at the moment is the Kingston 8Gb Class 10.

Please note that these are benchmarks performed with a limited test on a different hardware and design on a PC, and not inside your phone.
[Desire Accessories] blubberheld:
as i posted somewhere else, i really don't feel any speed advantages between a class 6 16gb and a class 10 32gb card, so save your money :-D

but if you often use it to share big files, then it's better to buy a higher class card, because the transfer rate is better

[Desire Accessories] Backfisch:
How do you test the mb speed of your microSD?
[Desire Accessories] stonegroover:
As far as I know, many of the higher class cards have been produced by biasing performance to continuous read/write speeds, for use in camcorders/cameras etc so they can record ultra HD or burst capture etc. HOWEVER, for use in a phone, which needs greater random read/write access they can suffer compared to a regular class 4 which is a better balanced card. There is a lot of this going on in the HTC Mozart pages here on XDA, where I've been spending time (had a Mozart, ROM'd it and gave it to my girlfriend, she loves it).

Many people have tried different 32gb/16gb cards, different classes from 2-10 and the results have been surprising. WP7 seems to be unusually fussy about the cards that will actually work with it, and the only card guaranteed to work everytime is SANDISK which says a lot about the quality, and people have been finding that performance with a Class 4 SanDisk card is better than performance with a supposed Class 10 card by another manufacturer such as Integral, Transcend etc or even Samsung and Kingston.

In the end I bought a 32gb SanDisk Class 4 off Amazon, for a lot more than they are on eBay at around £28, apparently there are loads of near-fakes on eBay (only way I could guarantee it was genuine- the chinese are using genuine 4gb SanDisk cards and then re-branding and re-coding them as 32gb, the card thinks it's a 32gb, reports that it's a 32gb card but obviously runs out of room and has errors as soon as you try to put stuff on it).
[Desire Accessories] vkook:
I am more than happy with my new class 10 Samsung 16GB card, I have been using it with the new Aurora ROM (version 5) and it is a beauty! I previously had the original-packed 4GB class 2 card, it was an absolute nightmare - I really can't tell why it took me so long to get over it and buy the new one.

I have a Samsung 8GB mSDHC Class 10 card.

I had Aurora ROM and now RunnyROM, both worked/works perfectly. It have a EXT4 partition od 1536MB for A2SD nad 6GB storage on FAT32 partition.

Before I used Transcend 4GB Class 4 card, with also 1535MB EXT4 for A2SD and it was significantly slower. Now it can breathe with full lung.

Also, I have question. Is it true that 16GB card class 10 is slower than 8GB card class 10? I mean, it is the same class, same vendor. I think I read it somewhere.

[Desire Accessories] Lonely_Boz:
Hello, some people says that class 10 sd cards isn't designed for Android phones and it makes slower. They also say that the ideal sd card is class 6. What do you think about this? Well, soon I will buy a new sd card but now I'm confused. I want the sd card works fine and fast. Which one should I buy?
[Desire Accessories] Bonkurei:
im curious of this too, but lots of ppl use class 10 and they dont have any problems with it.

so i think it would come down to which one give u bigger space at the same price.
[Desire Accessories] DannySID:
Well i used a class 6 Kingmax 16 gb and it was crappy, i dont know if it was the sd card or my rom(i flashed allot of roms) so i replaced it with a Kingston 8 gb class 4 and now it runs very good. So i say be carefull with the cards you buy. About the random access speed, class 4 cards are best at this. So if you want to use a2sd i recommend a class 4 card.
[Desire Accessories] Pwnna:
If you are using a2SD. The way to go is sandisk. Theirs 4k read write speed is so much faster than everyone else that it makes a huge huge difference
[Desire Accessories] Lonely_Boz:
I've noticed that when I connect my phone with pc and transfer any data to my scard, it transfer slowly(I have Transcend 8 gb class 10). But when I insert my scard into my pc slot and transfer any data to scard, it transfer quickly.

So, means that that class 10 sdcards don't work correctly with desire?

My only gripe is no APE support, but i can live with that.

It has a few Visualizer settings, Equalizer and supports MP3, WAV, OGG, MID, MP4, M4A, 3GP, FLAC, AAC, WMA, FLAC, AAC, and WMA.

Works well with Ice Cream Sandwich and Large Screen devices...

Doesnt support folders as far as I could see it just imports all the songs into one LONGG list..

Doesnt make them very easy to sort or view and the buttons are a bit small on the Nexus but it might look better on a tablet for which its designed for :)

Looks nice but I uninstalled it after 5 minutes lol.

I read the OP's thread and he never asked anyone to waste their time. If someone replies it is because they want to.

BTW, XDA should also have a rule that says you can't post a reminder to use the "Search" function.

I personally find it annoying when forums become muddied with the same information over an over that's all. I was not trying to be rude and if my post came off that way well then grow a little thicker skin.

And to state that you can't post a reminder to use the search function is pure stupidity, if this was never done the noobs would ruin this site.

How am I spamming? Idk how many posts i have but its a couple hundred I'm sure, and I've been around here for awhile. Also, I had sensation and bought the amaze and am trying to sell it . I don't really see what's wrong with that, but hey that's fine cause the last thing in the world is me caring what you think.

:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] pappadj:
So I used the search button on xda amaze accessories and found this thread as the only one for the words "clear" and "transparent", please allow this thread to continue without dictating what people should and should not do on a public forum. I second the notion on refraining from hand slapping for not using the search button. Close your eyes if this thread bothers you so much. I have been looking for a similar case. I'm a bit picky and I don't think I'm going to come up with what I want as I'm looking for something:

- Transparent: I want to let the OEM's design show through

- Soft

- Not Too Gummy, Shiny or Bulky (I guess with transparent, I'll have to forgo the "shine" factor)

- Cut outs for the antenna holes

So yeah, I think it's pretty tough to find something quite like this but here's what I have come up with so far and I'm still looking:

Clear Soft Rubber Phone Cover Silicone Skin Gel Case

- $5 to $7 depending on shipping

- Not quite transparent

- Looks like it will have a good grip

- Cut outs for the antenna holes

Clear Silicone Skin Gel Cover Case

- $10 shipped

- I don't know if the image is deceiving but it could be truly transparent (???)

- 2 of 3 cut outs for the antenna holes it appears

Clear Soft Hybrid Gel TPU S-LINE Case Cover

- $3 Shipped (no expedited and it will deliver after Christmas)

- S curve looks OK but 1/2 of it is exactly what I want and the other is faded white like everything else

- TPU brand so it should be good with just about all other considerations

Then there's always ZAGG and I think IPG may be ok (?) full body screen protectors

ZAGG Full Body

Ah, I think this one may be perfect. No idea who this is or what but the price at $7 + $5.99 for 4-10 shipping isn't bad. There might be a helpful coupon

also. It will probably be a bit glossy but I bet the shine will wear off a bit in time anyway. May get a few different ones and do some reviews. That is, if it's OK with some others who think this is "wasting my time" or whatever. :) Sorry, just think this thread went south fast and it was a decent question. I chose the Amaze White as I liked it's base look. I'll get other cases later and maybe even custom paint my own. I don't know. But if I just want to show off it's original beauty, I don't want to leave it exposed and ready for the elements to break it. I've seen one shattered from a 4 foot drop on concrete. They will break like anything else if hit right.

*** EDIT: This one is hard plastic... sorry ***

http://www.cellularoutfitter.com/p-101513-htc-amaze-4g-transparent-clear-cover.html

Sorry for the long post and again, if anyone has any other suggestions, I would like to know. There are Smoke Clear and Textured Clear skins around but I think we are just looking for a good clear one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
This is the one I purchased, the only issue I have with it is that there is a cutout for the cover release button. It's matte so it's not such a fingerprint magnet, and somewhat transparent so you can still see what phone lurks beneath. Also it adds very little bulk, which to me is important as I want some protection from drops as well as general scratch protection.

[HTC Amaze 4G] pappadj:
:P 5 posts later and you throw in something helpful and you actually shared an interest with the op and purchased something similar. You could have saved yourself headaches and made this thread a lot shorter if this was post #2.

OK sorry, that aside, thank you for the reminder of an item I was closely looking at as well. It seems to take care of the "gloss" factor. There is a comment on that site that says that the white will look more like grey with this and they didn't care for the blend but whatever. It's a TPU. I think I'm going to roll the dice on my last link above however, only I found that the shipping is like $5.99 for 4-10 day delivery so that's kinda a bummer. Think it's flat so I'll see if there's anything else I want from that site.

If you don't mind zPack, and if I haven't offended you too much, could you post pics (for others to review) when you get it and I'll do the same with whatever I decide on. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] ndahiya:
I got this case as well. my only issue is that the volume rocker does not have a cutout, so the buttons needed to be pressed really hard. i just cut along the outline for the volume buttons in the case, now is better.

ndahiya
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
I'll try and get some pics up tonight.

FYI, I'm pretty thick skinned so no offense taken, would not have posted otherwise.

However while I may have come off a little short, it was not my intention to offend anyone and I stand by the context of my original reply.

I found my case through one of the already open discussions about cases before I responded to the OP.

The rules outlined in the youtube video should be followed by all, not just some. This will keep the sub forums much cleaner and useful for all.

[HTC Amaze 4G] pappadj:
Nice picks. Thanks! I think its as close to a decent soft case thats "somewhat" transparent that we are going to have that is obtainable at the moment. I was thinking of the d3o bumper band as it pretty much secures the phone from most impacts and in tandem with like some zagg invisishields or whatever, should be a decent full body transparent solution but Im curious as to how "fat" its going to make the edge? O well can't get eveything perfect. The phone should be built completely waterproof and impactproof without any design, tech, or price degredation. Lol, I also want the camera to have xray clothing capabilities and produce enough solar power to not only charge the 30K mah built in battery but have enough power output to operate the phone and charge other devices on average ambient lighting. Can it also link to my cerebral cortex and teach me Kung Fu? Lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benjanidm:
Alright XDA, checking if anyone else has got this issue?

Bought the galaxy nexus almost three weeks ago, everything was fine with the phone until last week thursday. My battery was running low so I decide to charge it, only to find that it wasn't charging. I took out the battery and put it back in, still wouldn't charge (or at least it didn't say it was charging). I left it in the charging plug whilst the phone was turned off, hit the power button and the black charging screen comes up. I turn it back on to see that the battery is at 44%, after being at 12% 5 minutes ago.

Anyway, ever since then the phone hasn't been charging right. I plug it into the charger, and it doesn't recognize that its charging, or maybe it actually isn't? It takes a while for it to recognize that it's plugged in, and takes a while to actually start charging. I unplug the phone after it's finished charging and is at 99%, only for the battery icon to display that it is still charging.... it's constantly changing from charging to not charging even though I'm not doing anything.

I got the battery indicator app and that would display that the battery has been discharging since say 1 o clock in the afternoon, yet I took it off the charger at 9 o clock in the morning,

Furthermore, I'm now trying to charge it through my computer and put some music on my phone, but my computer won't even recognize that anything is plugged in even though it is quite clearly charging through the computer. (have had to plug it in and out several times, and sometimes it'll recognize that its there...)

is the USB plug ****ed? should I just send it back? I would go to my provider to get a new one from them as I still have warranty and thing, but they will only accept returns within the first 7 days of purchase. Otherwise that leaves me with sending it to samsung which is my last resort because they'll probably take their sweet time getting the phone back to me and I'm going to leave the UK for 4 weeks next week and I really want to take my nexus with me instead of risking it not coming back before I leave.
