[Xperia Arc General] abanglek:
my over a year with arc, my ui always minimalist, minimal widget & well folded launcher (go launcher since, er, not day 1, but early days). come back to windows mobile's period, that what exactly what i done -minimal. i hate ics as too sluggish to be useable. i just want enjoying my phone & my work done.

i have idevice around me, ipad, daughter's itouch, wife's iphone & i realize i love more ios (even better if jailbroken) than android.

er, so i decided, my next phone is come from the fruit company.

why?

1) rockstable connectivity (my arc too hot when on data -& battery eater beast, too sluggish on wifi -really directional when quite far from access point, i found g.note worse than arc)

2) polished apps (try load -for example temple run on newest android vs 800mhz single core iphone4)

3) polished os -less/no error than you know what

4) easier on hand -nicer to hold

5) premium SQ -i love music (that's why i got arc for the 1st place, but still hard to match idevice)

6) camera -others android cam not as good as sony's, but iphone even better -at least for me, sony's create more boring color reproductions.

7) different class -yes, i'm rebel but not riot. i'm done enough with riot (but cheapskate) in android community. same reason when i'm leaving linux desktop comunity, they simply fight each other for i don't know what reasons. i love linux but i'm done with the riot -& my lappy actually quite abandon now

if i stick to android, i think i'll end up with htc1x (for now), but still can't match than err, sorry buddy, iphone, esp on SQ. maybe minimal go launcher or miui for ui. but htc's camera not as good as sony's (so can you understand why i'm moving?)

at the end, ask yourself what you want/need & up to you to decide.
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Every point here could be easily contra-argumented but I guess no one is having time and nerves to engage another fanboy war here, beside thousands of similar arguings all over the web. But ofcourse, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. So if you like I-products, then go for it and good luck, but this poster obviously wants another ANDROID phone, so this post is pointless to me...

And if you ask me, at this given time, I would never use such childishly limited devices like I-ones. And yes, I played with most of them a lot of times.
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
I could've just stopped reading your post the moment you mentioned i-thing. As I've stated in the OP, I'm not jumping on another OS boat. But I still read your post and have to disagree with you on a lot of things you wrote. But then again, like mr torture said - no point in engaging into another pointless discussion/fight over this matter. I'll just say this: two classmates had iPhones - both ALWAYS carried wall chargers and ALWAYS had to charge their phones while in school.

@some previous posters, I've thought about the Xperia S touch keys before you mentioned it. I do remember playing a bit with my friend's XS and it really is true that sometimes the keys are unresponsive and hard to "press". So I started thinking about something other. This is why I actually hate when it comes to buying a new phone. There's always something not right.

[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
There is an fresh article on GSMArena, comparing new Xperias (T, TX and V) benchmarks, with other flagship phones (including Galaxy SIII and One X), and guess what...? New Xperias krait dual-cores are kicking asses of Samsung and HTC quad-core flagships, hardly! I was like "WOW"...

So like I said, be a little bit more patient, and wait for these phones to appear, and then go for T or V...
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
Oh, man... I love the specs of T. Except for the damn on-screen buttons -.- Which reminds me of what I wanted to say. I totally and completely forgot to mention why I mainly like hardware keys. I can simply press home button and the (locked/turned off) screen will lit up. And now I'll have to abuse the power button on my new phone as it'll have touch keys. :( FU

Sent from my cracksperia Arc
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Heh, on-screen buttons will make you go away ftom SONY it seems to me... :/ But then, what's the alternarive, as I don't know much actual Android flagship phones with hardware buttons. But I understand you completely on this subject. It will be tough decision to jump from hardware buttons to "virtual" ones for me too.
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
Well, I'd be fine with separated touch keys. Even though I'd still have to rape the power button. Arc is my first smartphone. Right before it I had Sony Ericsson T700i. My next phone choice was either Neo or Arc. The only reason I chose Arc is because it has larger screen. And I got used to it pretty quick. I'd be hard to switch back to a feature phone now. So I guess I'll get used to on-screen keys soon enough as well. Might give it a shot.

If you can wait for one more month then you btr go for xperia T or TX..these are from new arc series..they will be launched in october 1st week :) Even i am planning to buy this..price will be around 33K INR..but will be getting employee discount :p
[Xperia Arc General] ^eLipS#:
You have two options:

1. You deal with the touch sensitive buttons on Sony devices

2. You buy some Samsung device

There are no other options...
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
I don't want to repeat myself again. Touch sensitive keys - okay, I don't mind it, it's fine. On-screen keys - who thought this would be a good idea?, but I'll adapt to it if it's needed.

I've just realized Xperia TX doesn't have an HDMI port. Why would they leave this out?

Sent from my cracksperia Arc
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Really? Didn't know that... :eek:

Just few second ago I was writing about how much I'm amazed by HDMI cable and quality of transfer on Arc S, and now I'm reading this...

The only thing that comes to my mind, is that TX (and probably all future Xperias) will use micro USB port for video transfers too, like HTC is doing on some of their phones. It would be stupid if they decided to remove HD transfer possibility from flagship phone, don't you think...

So I'm sure this is the case, the thing I mentioned about micro USB.
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
We'll have to wait for a proper review somewhere. We only have the things on the paper and a quick 360 view on YouTube from the IPA. I would've been concerned more if I wasn't about to keep my Arc. But as that's not the case, I'm now only curious about this thing.

EDIT: Searched through TX white paper and it says HDMI via MHL.

Sent from my cracksperia Arc
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
What I was talking about... ;)

MHL connection goes through microUSB port.

But it's interesting that Xperia T wiki page, claims existence of HDMI (type D connector, as on Arc/S) port... :D

I would just guess most devs just don't have the interest to do it... Ubuntu actually has started an initiative to get people to install it alongside android for using the phone docked as a pc, you can learn more about that by searching google for ''ubuntu for android'' and click the first link.
[General Questions and Answers] Rick_1995:
Drivers, android you're running is still using a lot of drivers which are closed source but otherwise available free to toss around in other android builds but this tossing doesn't work when you're throwing it in something completely different. Now there are quite a few reasons why this tossing doesn't work and some of which can be dependency on libs in android, ABI which governs how the program behaves, where the code resides and how the binary itself is structured and some more low level stuff like characteristics of stack etc... which are not the same in both android and some other more developed linux distros (ARM is trying to get rid of this ABI problem with their new ARM EABI).

It's like you have a plane which runs on various versions of jet fuel, but you can't run it on the gasoline you run your car on even though both are petroleum derivatives.

There are a couple of phones which did get working linux ports like HD2 running ubuntu, debian, slackware and hp touchpad running arch linux etc...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
Hello. So I'm wondering why I can never get any good battery life anymore. I've been from ROM to ROM and my phone dies in like 6 hours. ALL THE TIME. And this is from using it, or leaving it on over night. I have to put it on the charger or it WILL die.

Today I'm using CM9 Alpha 6. Please do not tell me to try CM10. I'm trying to get this battery thing solved 1st and I can careless about AirPlane Mode issues. I will wait until I see that it's gone. LoL!! Anyways, my phone was on for about 6 hours. Starting at 100% of course. I seen that it was awake for 5 hours. Yes. I just said my phone was awake for 5 out of 6 hours. Was I using it? Uh...? Like for 5 minutes to text. I do leave sync on. Could that be the issue? But for 5 out of 6 hours it was awake?

I did a dump to file and I don't know what I'm reading. So my main question is can someone explain to me what this is saying? It's a dump of "Since Unplugged". Thanks for any help.

[Focus General] barryweston:
Hey everyone,

I have a Samsung Focus, that has been running fine for almost a yr.

I have updated to tango with no issues.

I interop unlocked it a few weeks ago and installed Nokia Drive, no issues. (using Jaxbot method)

Installed Keep Alive from WPH that is now in the market, no issues.

However just today the phone will either shut off without warning while the screen iis off, or if the screen is one, the brightness will drop off then the phone freezes and reboots.

Tried pulling the battery numberous times, reseated SD card and SIM....

Any ideas?

Should I just go get a Lumia 900 :)

Hey Folks,

So over in the republic, we are working to root our phone so that we can enjoy the life of a rooted user, but unfortunately RW has not provided us with the SPC and sadly it is not 000000. We have tried many methods of recovering the SPC, like parsing logcat logs while accessing ##DATA# ##SVN#, etc. We have tried getprop with zero luck also.

I wanted to know, if there is a way to validate the SPC via adb cli. For instance, I was thinking of attempting to change a setting on the phone by passing through an SPC code and either getting a success or error. This way I could create a script to attempt all possible SPC codes until it hits success.

Any advice or insight would be much appreciated.
