[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataraxy:
I've my arc s for close to 5 months and I do not regret it. It's camera is one of the best among the smart phones for the price of it. When my friend who own the iPhone 4 took the same night scene with my arc, the arc's capture the scene very well, not too bright or too dark -- like what the iPhone does.

Responsiveness is reasonably fast even though it's not rooted. Depending on how you handle the phone, mine is still scratch-free and beautiful. No cracks. The factory screen does trap specks of dust quite easily, but this can be avoided if you apply another matte filter over it.

The phone is light and still able to fit into my pocket despite it's 4+ inch screen. The big screen makes it comfortable to browse webs, watch videos and play games.

What I find a nuisance in the arc is the small internal memory capacity, which means you'll have to be selective in the apps you store in the phone.

Definitely worth buying & keeping if you're a light to medium-usage user. :-)

Good luck in your choice!

thanks mate! i still have a long time to made my choice about 9 months lol ! since this will be a big commitment ...been thinking of a few other like htc incredible , lg 2x and maybe even huawei honor! but arc's design is really something! and i love it's display...MUST MAKE RIGHT CHOICE!

I have had the x10, the Ray, SGS and a Nexus S

The nexus s was ugly but had loads of rom's to flash but became boring

The ray was beautiful but was to small

the sgs was fun but a bit big

The Arc S is perfect, it looks good, its fast, it has great camera it is get some decent rom's to play with

I am happy with mine and will stick with it until I upgrade to the S
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
This phone will be heavily out-dated after 9 months. I suggest buying one of the Sony phones(maybe U or P, they're cheaper than S, á the same price as Arc is right now)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
well in 9 months time i think arc s's price will drop from RM1000 ro EM700 =)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataraxy:
You're welcome! :-)

9 months is a long time. Who knows, there may be a sexier and powerful smartphone by then. ;-)

Take your time, since there's no rush.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doppiosogno:
Hello everybody,

I want to buy a Sony Xperia phone,but I have not decided yet between Arc and Arc S...I've read the differences,the only hardware one is the processor speed (that can be filled up overclocking the processor of arc) and than there are only software ones:

Sony 3D sweep panos: panorama shots that can be rendered on compatible 3D TVs

Screen capture - grab a screenshot anywhere on your Xperia

Enhanced Facebook integration

Swipe text input - works just like the popular Swype, but it's T9 Trace

USB on-the-go functionality (requires Sony Ericsson LiveDock)

So I would like to know if it possible currently to install ARC S apps (camera with panorama function,software keyboard,anhanced facebook integration and so on) on xperia arc...here in Italy there's a differences of 130 $ between the arc and arc s,so I would like to buy the xperia arc and than flash some roms or install the apps to fill the gaps with arc s.:D Thanks a lot

Greets from Italy

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manymoore:
Agree with you, the camera does its job so great, especially when shots at outdoor

Yes the internal memory is sucks, though it's only 350mb

The body itself fit to my pockets with 4.2' screen, this phone is damn good and it's cheap lool :D

I love my white arc s. It has a wow factor. Showed my colleagues and their jaws dropped :D My missus likes to swap her magenta N9 for it. She can dream on. :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomil:
I just got an Arc S a couple days ago to replace my X10i... I only paid £195 for it and figured I would go pay as I go for the rest of the year as I'm not really sold on the Xperia S.

So far, absolutely loving it. Really quick (runs everything as well as my friends with Galaxy S2) and was almost half the price. Battery life gets me right through the day and this is without rooting yet.

I put a lot of thought into what to do with my mobile phone situation this year and the Arc S was a smart option.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techvish81:
I've been using It for couple of months now and came to the conclusion that arc s is value for money and can do anything what galaxy s2 can. speed, sleek design, battery life everything is great., the only downside is a bit dull display compared to galaxy s2, actually that is the cause of good battery life. but at half the price it is really a very very good phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinaipt99:
the arc s is a great device. its light, fast and preaty. not bulk look, like samsung and trust me i had samsung. the +++1 is that is cheaper.

1) is there any app like hide it pro that works on cm9 ics!?! Hide it pro doesn't work :'(
[General Topics] Archer:
Until it gets updated to work with ICS, the next best thing is to put a file called .nomedia in the folders in question. It doesn't hide anything from file explorers but it does hide them from galleries and other such media apps.

Unless, of course, anyone knows of alternative apps, but I've not heard of any.
[General Topics] Faiz Malkani:
I actually wanted an app hider. But not the basic one like go launcher / apex launcher has. The advanced one, which freezes it like hide it pro

I believe Titanium Backup has the ability to freeze apps, you might want to try that.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebell:
I decided to update to new Revolution 7.0.2 in a while (had version 5), everything went fine, no errors at all, my Desire HD connected to PC, found the SD card I was able to copy some files etc, but then suddenly everything stopped working next time I decided to connect it to my PC.

Now, I tried turning USB debugging off and it didn't help.

I tried changing the letter in windows, and nothing. I can't even format it in Windows.

As far as I can see, SD card is working fine in the phone, no errors at all. There seems to be some connectivity issue between my phone and Windows (7, 64bit).

When I connect it, it doesn't even ask me how I want to connect it (charge only, disk drive, usb teethering, etc), it just connects as charge only and stays that way. There's nothing in notification.

No idea why is it messing around as it worked fine the first time after flashing new ROM.

Does anyone have experience with this and know how to fix it? I still got a lot of stuff to copy over (music, etc) and this is just annoying :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulioZenteno:
hello Xda users:

First of all, thanks for such an amazing and informative forum, its great just love it, and also thanks to all devs and specially to those working on MIUI its just way to beautyful and great.

now back to my post:

im new to all this about changing FWs and software to mobilephones, im a proud owner of a Xperia X10a and last weekend with a friend of mine installed OOdie MIUI wich i think is MIUI 2.1.20 version or at least that is what the "build number" says on the About info in my phone.

my issue is that i try to set a custom ringtone for my calls but does not work, tried with other MP3 and files but nothing seems to work. also when i try to listen to music the app keeps freezing and in the worst case scenario it power off my phone.

my question is, is there any newest version of MIUI? how can i know if mine is the lastest one? and finnally, is this an known issue? its there a fix for it?

everything else is just great but i would love to have a custom ringtone with me.

Thanks in advice i hope im not breaking any rules... (i searched with no luck)

PD: Any english Failureness its my fault, its not my primary Langage, im sorry.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulioZenteno:
ok. so i changed the song on the Theme settings and not in the System settings and seems to work just fine, at first didnt work with the file i left on the ringtone folder, but worked with some other i choose.

It is the newest NOOK Tablet, m8.

I think you can root it but loading "stable" custom ROM is still far away.

[Acer Iconia A500] JesseAaronSafir:
Hi!

So I'm running civato's FLEXREAPER-R6 ICS 4.0.3 ROM on my Iconia A500 after using timmyDean's "root-3.2.1-V4.7z" method to root my stock HC 3.2.1 ROM. I had ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.3 (rev 1.3.4 by thor2002ro) and was unable to do a full Nandroid backup so I upgraded to the latest ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.x (rev 1.7 by thor2002ro) but I'm still having the same issue.

When I try to backup data I get the error "Error making a backup image of /data!" and then when I look at the sdcard in \clockworkmod\backup\YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS I see "data.ext4.tar" and the size is 4,294,967,296 bytes), which is exactly the 4GB filesize limit on a FAT32 partition. Looking inside the data.ext4.tar file, I see data/app and all the .APK installer files for apps installed on my Iconia plus a few .ZIP files as well. ES File Explorer won't show me how big /data/app is but DiskUsage says it's 4.7GB. From what I'm reading Android needs a copy of all the APK user-installed app installation files of in /data/app so that it can restore the default data/configuration when requested (under Settings/Apps/Manage Apps/Delete Data & Cache). So...how can I get a successful Nandroid backup if I have more than 4GB of apps installed? Can the data portion be broken up into <4GB chunks? Or can Nandroid/Recovery be updated to support exFAT or NTFS? Or would it be safe to exclude /data/app from the backups?

Since I've been unable to do the Recovery/Nandroid backup of "data", I've been doing a custom backup of everything except for data and then backing up all my installed apps and settings from inside the OS with Titanium Backup. But with this method, a catastrophic failure would still require me to use Recovery to restore the OS and then use Titanium to restore app my apps.

What's the solution?
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
You can try doing several backups, in other words, do a nandroid backup of /data separate from the other back ups of /system /boot /recovery and other paritions. Then when you have to restore, first restore the backup with your system partitions and then restore your data partition afterwards. You are probably backing up to many things to have a nandroid file that large anyway. When you do a full data wipe it does not wipe the data on the internal sd card only the data on the data partition.
[Acer Iconia A500] JesseAaronSafir:
Hey cruise350! I have an Evo 3D as well. I'm running Virus's "Eternity 3.0 r193 ROM" with the Stock theme on my Evo 3D, how about you? Anyway, I have tried doing separate Nandroid backups. I can backup everything but "data" and that will complete just fine. I don't see any way to break up the "data" backup into multiple smaller backups. But as I said, if I backup everything else with Nandroid, I feel pretty confident that I can restore all my apps/data with Titanium.

Would it be safe to try to move /data/app temporarily somewhere else (such as /mnt/sdcard), do the Nandroid data backup, and then move it back?

It seems to me that doing full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache, superwipe, etc) would wipe out /data and everything underneath (including /data/apps) but that it would get recreated automatically when I restore everything with TB, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
The way to get rid of that problem once and for all is to format your SD card as EXT4... You won't be able to read it with non-Linux (or BSD) OSes after that, though. Mounting via USB should still work, as this doesn't access the SD filesystem directly...
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
I would try changing recoveries then, I am using RA recovery and it has a compress backup feature. It takes about 45 minutes to do a nandroid when compressing but it cuts the size of the backup significantly. I bet RA will solve your problem though. And, I am running Steelrom on my Evo 3d. It's really stable, has some good tweaks, and the battery life is incredible.
[Acer Iconia A500] JesseAaronSafir:
Thanks, haag498. That's an interesting idea. So any Android OS or Recovery would be able to read/write to an EXT4-fomatted SD card? It would work in both my Iconia A500 and my Evo 3D both in Recovery and inside the OS? That might be a good option. I see that EXT4 supports very large filesizes so that problem would go away. What tool would you recommend for formatting the SD card with that filesystem? Can it be done from inside Android?

Not being able to mount the filesystem natively in Windows might present occasional inconveniences but it shouldn't be a major problem as long as the Android devices can present the storage as USB Mass Storage mode. That being said, I have some issues with the Iconia when accessing the storage over USB. Namely, when I try to move files and folder off the device or delete them from Windows when attached via USB, the task often won't complete. I've worked around the problem by just doing internal moves, deletes and renames from inside Android (using ASTRO or ES File Explorer) and, if necessary, mounting the SD card directly in my Windows PC, which won't be possible anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] JesseAaronSafir:
Okay...so if I wanted to install RA Recovery instead, would I flash that from inside CMR? I have "Acer Recovery Installer" installed as well but I believe the version of CMR I'm using is newer than what that tool would have been able to install. So, what's the procedure to switch to RA from CMR? Any other features of RA that you prefer?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You can flash from within CWM. If you look in the RA threads, you will find some flashable versions. I use 3.15, as I have been lazy to update to 3.16.

No wipes needed. Just install zip from SD

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22392691&postcount=104
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
They should, if they're using a reasonably up-to-date Linux kernel, as EXT4 is built in for these... If you want to be absolutely sure, use EXT2/3 (they're pretty much identical from a user point of view), which still support large files and all, but are somewhat slower (and they can't use more than 4TB, which shouldn't be an issue anyway...).

Read above.

Formatting the SD card can be done from any Linux live CD (Ubuntu, Knoppix, ...) or from within Android (if you're rooted and have a chroot Linux) using parted (or cfdisk) or some GUI tool like gparted... Internally, they'll all use mkfs.ext4, which is anything but user-friendly, though...

That's actually a known problem... I usually just use a NAS for data exchange, as it has plenty of space and good speed, even on WiFi. Another way to do it would be a USB drive (2.5'' hdds tend to need more power for spin-up than they get from the internal port, though). Also, as I use Linux on all my computers, mounting EXT4 partitions is no problem for me :cool: ...

Last night I tried to flash a rom (CM9 Bata) on my epic 4g. After I did this my phone would boot with the samsung cyanogen logo but the system would not load. I went to restore from a nano back up but was unsucessful. I have tried to use other roms with out sucess. Any help would be great.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
This is because CM9 is an MTD Rom so it will reboot during the installations process. How long did it stay there before your went into recovery. What ROM did you try to restore.. if it was BML then your screwed and need to odin back to stock EL30 repartitioning and youll have to re root. You can add me on gtalk crystylizd@gmail.com and i can walk you through the whole process :) as well as provide links and such. You really sure read before up and flashing a new parition ROM. And never restore backups on MTD of BML roms.

If you're looking for the latest official stock (non-modified) ROM for this smartphone, look no further; you can find and download them right here: Gooapple V5 3G ROMs. It's in chinese but with the help of a translator it shouldn't be hard to download what you're looking for.

People who already have this phone can start discussing and posting their work here.

Feel free to ask any question.

I will start my own work as soon as i get my Gooapple V5 3G.

Hi there everyone.

I have managed to toast my gooapple V6 firmware.

Does anyone else have a gooapple v6, and if so:

1) Does it work on 3g for you.

2) Have you rooted it and able to create a .img backup of the firmware for me to reinstall on my phone.

I am currently in 'talks' with fastcardtech, but as usual they aren't being that supportive.
