The 4.6" screen of Ion are too big for my hands(normal hands), I'm afraid to can't type with only one hand when i write message and other things, what do you think about?

Also the big screen requires more energy with noticeable impact on battery duration. The Xperia S has the tranparent bar for notification led that the Ion haven't, this is a good feature for me.

I will go to Xperia S, 32gb are very too much for me who use only 4gb of my 8gb sdcard:D and then i will not use an extra sdcard as well as i could use in the Ion.

Sorry for bad English:D
[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
galaxy note already in market :)
[Xperia Arc General] SevenD2:
Why would you need an external SD card when the Xperia S is 32GB?
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Because there are 64GB cards out.

Also I have just 5.9GB of my 32GB left, enough for now but I like to have a chance to increase it in case I need it.

What's the hspa+ speed on the xperia s? Some blogs showed that its 14.4mps but this thing has the microsim card slot. Isn't the new micro slot made for the 21mbs hspa+? My choice will be the 21mbs. It will be disappointing. Is there alot of difference in the two chips?

[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Sony says 14.4Mbps, in theory it should be 28Mbps for the MSM8260.

I'm in love with the xperia series and the arc has been a love.(one of the first to get it when it launched in Singapore). But now I'm torn between getting a smaller phone(xperia ray) or waiting for a bigger one(xperia s). Any thoughts? And if this is the wrong thread for discussion can someone redirect me to the correct one. Thanks a bunch =)
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Why don't you use a streaming music and video service in that case. For me games take in a lot of space too (500mb each) and recovery backups can be stored on a different sd card.

I'm looking for something around 4.5 - 4.7 inches.
[Xperia Arc General] Xajel:
For me, If I'll buy one it will be Xperia S, ION is only available in USA in any way...

but I didn't even completed a year with my Xperia arc ( bought it in September ) and even If I have completed, I know SE will release another one later this year and will give it more support... just take a look at Xperia arc S and Neo V... both released later and both getting better support or at least attention...

This year I think I'll wait till I finish 1 year with my phone then buy another one... I hope SE will release another high-end ( same or better than Xperia S ) by year-end...
[Xperia Arc General] oojjii:
Definitly Xperia S, without any doubt.

I just love it !

If the Xperia S (where do these horrible names come from?) "fulfill all your needs", then why do you care about phones that come out afterward? ;) Your needs have been met.

The only reason to care about future releases is if the Xperia S doesn't fulfill all your needs. :D

The ion apparently uses 1700 for at&ts LTE.

So my question is will it be possible to somehow make these work with Tmobiles 3g data? Or is LTE completely different from 3g. Thanks for your time

[Xperia Arc General] Dietervsx:
I'm going to wait for the Xperia S2 ;). My arc is almost one year old and still full fuctional no real harm to it.

I plan to keep it for like one year and a half/ two year, looks like a nice lifetime span for a phone like this to me.

Unless it gets broken, I will buy the S instead. But I don't hope so.

[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
If android recovery wipe data did not do it then it sounds like maybe sbf time.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lord Nykon:
I have to sbf all the way down to 2.3.4, then install update to 2.3.5?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
No no no

Power down and plug in

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Edit Nevermind

You were to quick to wipe data

BSR.is.now gone

Next time u bootloop just calmly power down (pull battery) and plug in and restore a nandroid

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

U can try wiping data and cache again

Give it a full ten minute to boot before u say u are still looping tho

Then if that don't work it's sbf time
[Motorola Droid X2] Lord Nykon:
Why did it happen? I have flashed two other themes, without any issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Are you sure the theme was for the version of rom you are on? But like Ash pointed out in future just pull battery and plug in before doing a wipe. Should take you to BSR and then you could restore..
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Did you reflash the ROM before flashing the theme?(poison)

I believe it is recommended by Kevin to do that

Not sure exactly why but apparently flashing poison over another theme is a high chance of bootloop

Good luck

I usually reflash a ROM and reboot twice before flashing a new theme

Safest way to do it next time you try

I also wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the theme (not really necessary but I never had a problem doing it like this) just know if u wipe dalvik it will take forever to boot since it has to rebuild fresh dalvik cache
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
The theme has to be made for 2.3.5. If that theme wasn't updated and is still made for 2.3.4, that is why you got the boot loop.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I just looked and realized poison is for 1.3 eclipse

That's why you looped ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Lord Nykon:
Is blooded made for 2.0.3? I like that one too. As a matter of fact, which themes are made eclipse 2.0.3? Just picking your genius minds. Thanks for all of your help, all of you. Its working perfectly again.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I dont really know which themes are made for 2.3.5 since Im not on it. But most of the newer themes usually say in the title or the first post if it is. And if the first post was last updated before December, it probably isnt since I think December is when eclipse was updated to 2.3.5.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Go here http://eclipserom.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18&sid=9e1d61a1049fe715e6341dc3b735e955

Updated to ICS last night and everything worked smoothly. I shut down the device and then started it an hour later and even though it started the touchscreen did not worked. So I forced it to restart by holding down power and vol + button. It restarted but now I just get a "gears screen" and nothing works. If I put the tablet in Portrait mode, I can see the wallpaper in the back but I still cannot get to it. I have already tried "reset" but nothing happens.

Any suggestion?

Once Asus release the zip update file, just download it and manually update.

place the update.zip on the root of your MicroSD card and turn the device off.

Power + Vol down .. then Vol up when the writing appears.

No idea, but it will be listed here ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201

youll need the US version 4.0.3 ...when its available.

Failing that, someone has uploaded the OTA version (its in the dev section) but i dont know if you can just flash that .. ?

EDIT **

I would ignore the OTA update in the dev section as i've just read through it and it doesnt seem like itll be of any use ...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
My best guess is that you turn on with power+vol down and then from that menu select the factory reset option.

I believe it is:

PWR + VOL DWN

VOL DWN (to change from boot to system wipe)

VOL UP (to confirm system wipe)

I'll confirm shortly, I'm copying a file right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Yes, you are correct. I was not doing the correct button combination. I finally got it to wipe data but after the reboot, I still get the same screen (gears with exclamation mark).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] muncheno:
Ajamils,

Possible that you did the wrong combination.

I read from the thread, it is

1) Drain/discharge the battery until it total off.

2) Then charge it for awhile (let say 10-15min)

3) Unplug the charger/power cord.

4) PRESS and HOLD on the "POWER BUTTON" + "Volume +"

5) After you will see on the screen ->Normal Boot Up screen then some small print. Let go the buttons when you see the small print on top left of the screen.

6) Wait and observer at the middle of the screen showing -> "Wipe Data" and "Android".

7) Once you see the term "COLD BOOT", PRESS "Volume -" and it will reboot.

Good luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Here is the basic issue that I have. When I PRESS and HOLD on the "POWER BUTTON" + "Volume +", TP does NOT boot. All, I get is a faint vibration but nothing happens. :mad::mad:

The only way to get it to boot is to PRESS and HOLD on the "POWER BUTTON" + "Volume -" and then I get the screen with Wipe Data and Android and when I do not select anything it automatically goes for "Cold Boot" and that's the message that shows up on the screen. Pressing Vol- at this point doesn't have any effect.
