[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_torture:
At least they "warned" you/us about heavier ICS system requirements compared to GB, so it was our decision whether we will upgrade or not.

Also, ICS update is far from being "horrible" to me. Yes, the first update was far from perfect, but new one is much better, regarding many things. Most noticably smoother performance, camera improvements (camcorder also), and to me even more stable wifi connection compared to GB, while some people are reporting wifi as being "unstable".

About bloatware, there is MORE bloatware in stock GB than in stock ICS, at least in my case. My Arc S (bought 2 months ago) was originally on last GB version 4.0.2.a.0.69 (very rare one), and compared to last ICS update, there were more bloatware apps. Also, freshly installed, ICS is having more free memory than GB (due to less bloatware among other things).

And when I kill all processes in ICS, I'm having about 180-200Mb of free space.

Conclusion: I'm not saying it's better than stock GB, but it's far from being horrible and unusable, in my opinion. GB is smoother, more optimized for Arc/S hardware, lighter on battery, and more stable, but for people who wants fresh OS, with few options and tweaks more, and with (arguably) better user interface, there is ICS, tolerable and usable.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
I think that they were trying to convince people not to update, or at least think twice if you were not that bothered.

Though saying this, there is no reason for not allowing roll back. Apart from them having to spend a little more time editing PC Companion to allow for the downgrade, but this would be nothing for Sony........

Hi! I have been very satisfied with the phone but now I ran into a situation where advice is needed.

Suddenly all the normal notification icons stopped appearing in the upper left corner is status bar.

Instead of the usual I have the following icon stuck in the same place. See the picture.

Any advice?

As I've said before, Samsung needs to replace this option in the notification bar. The U.S. versions don't include it...

I wanted to inform that we are collecting firms for LG to give us official Gingerbread.

The objective is 5000 firms

You should be asking:

It's true that we have an excelent stable version, but there are a lot of reasons...

We could use the official update to improve currents ROMs

Extracting the kernel, the binary, etc.

The official update is necessary if we want ICS on our smartphone

Currently, developers are using Froyo elements that aren't compatible with ICS

You only have to complete a form that takes around 1 minute

since the dock has a usb 2.0 input i figured you guys might want to check this out. I went into the store yesterday and picked a few up. these things are SOLID and can be put on a keychain without any worry of something breaking off and losing it.

CHECK IT

I also picked up one of these for $25 at my local bestbuy, they arent on sale online but if you check your store out then they may be onsale.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
thanks. I picked up the ScanDisk SDXC 64GB micro card for $50. I actually got two of them.

I have the LT15a, and my bootloader is locked.

I can't use LT18i kernel, can I?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
I dont suggest the kernel flash, i nearly bricked.

Download root.zip from superuser site. Put it in sd.

Just testpoint your mobile. Download fastboot.

Go to dev selection and download a kernel with cwm

Put it in fastboot folder

Shift + right click on the window background and choose open command box

Enter in the box

Fastboot boot "img name you downlaoded "

Example if the img is named arc.img

Fastboot boot arc.img

When fastboot completes, unplug phone. It will automaticly boot. Press volume down when you see blue led.

Go to install zip option

Choose install zip

Find zip in sd and install it.

Reboot.

Thats all. Brick-safe. Still stock with root. DRM keys keept

If you wait till tomorow i can upload all stuff you need

Here is the files (included the kernel with CWM, named ARC.img):

Thank you for the above files and guide.

I'm following them, I hope correctly, but when I complete the "Fastboot boot arc.img" at using command prompt the box just displays "waiting for device"

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k02a:
The instructions you are referring to were not crystal clear to me either, so I have written down my own experiences to get the fastboot work.

I suppose the necessary USB drivers are needed to be installed as a prerequisite - but I guess you already have them installed.

Otherwhise, I would recommend you to get them from Sony Mobile or use those from the s1tool. (Remember the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?).

Enough said about drivers, here are the steps that is needed to make things work.

First of all you have to make sure of getting a response back from your phone when using the fastboot command.

If not, then you might have to look for answers somewhere else.

Turn off your phone.

Disconnect the USB cable if this is connected.

Enter the following in the command window:

C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce

You will get the response:

< waiting for device >

.

Hold down the menu button (the right one) and connect the USB cable at the same time.

A correct response from your phone would look similar to this:

finished. total time: 1346879044.955s

If this is working, then repeat step 1-4, but replace step 4 with the following text:

C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce boot <name of your boot image>

A typical response would look like this:

C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce boot arc.img
< waiting for device >
downloading 'boot.img'... INFOUSB download speed was 5752kB/s
OKAY [ 0.900s]
booting... INFODownload buffer format: boot IMG
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.910s

After the boot image is loaded into the phone, it will unpack the kernel image and ramdisk image follwed by the init scripts.

This will take some time, so have patience.

Good luck!

N.B. The 0x0fce value origins from the unique manufacturer USB identity, where Sony Ericsson was assigned the (hexadecimal) value 0x0fce.

Sorry friend, but on mobile device i dont have patience to write clearly

Typed down from the sky with sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billdooruk:
Ok

I tried again tonight.

I completed the testpoint and all seemed to follow the information...although...My PC did not ask for the driver install - it did something automatically without any prompts - How do I change the driver (and which one) to the one provided in the s1tool download?

As when I try to follow the guides you have both provided, thank you again, fastboot still sits at the waiting for device prompt.

When I hold "menu" and connect the USB lead the phone boots into Charging screen ???

Any ideas?

Cheers again
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k02a:
There is a simple way to find out if you were successful in unlocking your device, if this could be the problem?

Remove the USB cable from your Arc.

Turn your phone off.

Start it again by pressing the power button. You will see the Sony logo after a few seconds.

Wait for a couple of more seconds.

The backlight of the screen will power up and the LED next to the Micro-USB connector will turn blue, if you succeeded.

Did it work for you?

If yes, I suggest you to remove the USB drivers related to Android and Sony (Ericsson) an reinstall them again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
Yes, turn of phone hold menu button, connect. Youll see blue led.

Now go to device manager find adb interface or s1boot. Right click and update drivers manually. Dirrect driver folder to the drivers map in that pack i sendt you. Click ok. Windows will install them. If it says it can harm your pc, just ignore it and thoose install anyway.

After its complete, try again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
If the MD5 fail, the backup is no good and you shoudnt even try to use it.

Its not recomended restore stock roms since the sansung kernel has a bug that can brick your device.

He said gingerbread stock Rom. Not ICS. But either way, it wouldn't matter if he restored a nand of it as long as he didn't wipe data / factory reset. Not to mention the paradox that he could NOT have made a backup of the fully stock ICS Rom with the stock kernel installed cause you need a CUSTOM kernel installed to get CWM so you can MAKE said backup.

Flash the GB RUU and it will update to ICS after the install. If you flashed the ICS leaks then you need to S off so that you can get back to GB. Getting S off is very easy. I would recommend it so you can flash all the new roms.

You have boot 2.11 so you need to get the 2.01 ruu. And yes it will return it too 100 percent stock including the recovery. You want to keep kt that way until after you update with the ota.

Never ending bootloop after CM10?

Hello guys. I'm not panicking TOO much because I trust you guys know how to fix this...hopefully : (

I woke up today and thought I'd try out CM10. I downloaded the ROM and did everything as I normally would and flashed it, then attempted to flash a GAPPS but it error'd out.. weird. I booted into CM10 just fine without any errors but when I plugged in my phone to transfer over a new JBapps my phone wasn't recognizable by my PC. I thought I'd just install a ROM that would allow my phone to be recognized (So I could transfer the Jbapps) so I installed CleanRom 4.5 and while it was installing I went to take a shower. I came back and it was still booting up and I immediately thought "uh oh"

So this leaves me here now with my phone stuck booting up and shutting itself down... it won't stay off either. I tried holding Power+Volume Down and it just keeps turning on and turning off. So getting into recovery is a toughy...

Any way to fix this? Thanks guys. appreciate it :)

EDIT: I was playing around trying every possible button combination and just holding down Volume button seemed to work. I'm now in the White screen where it allows me to FastBoot, Recovery, Factory Reset, etc.

What can I do from here? thanks... I'm still kind of new to this : )
