[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
This thread is going all over the place :p

The OP only need to transfer a file at high speed whenever he wants to another device or a Win7 PC.

Here the solution : SAMBA Filesharing

It enable you to give access to a specific folder in your device so that another device connected to the same network can download it.

Then after finish, you can disable the service.

Another solution with similar feature is : Superbeam

It will also let you give other parties an access to a specific file(s) and folder(s) connected to the same network.

The different is this one using a web browser.

So you can't retain the folder structure when downloading the data on the other device.

SAMBA is compatible with many OSes like Win (9x,Me,2000,XP,Vista,7,8,8.1), Linux (any distros & versions...Android is also a Linux) & MacOS (MacOS can be called a Linux sibling but not a "close" one)

[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
...because I just bought a white Xperia arc S on eBay as I miss my old one so much.

The question is whether I'll keep my new Nexus 4 or not as if I'm completely honest I'm not that happy with it. The camera is rubbish, I have serious WiFi issues ... but my biggest concern is the glass back - I dropped my old arc S about half a dozen times and it suffered no damage whatsoever but if I drop my N4 it's going to smash. Yes, I could get a case for it but it's already huge - too big really. I bought the official bumper but my headphones won't fit when it's on and it makes it almost impossible to use one-handed.

I must be mad right? But I think this rush to larger screens on high-end phones is a mistake. Nearly all the rumoured high-end 2013 Android devices are going to have a 5" 1080p screen which is just too big. I was tempted to try the Acer S500 but Acer have a terrible reputation for crappy hardware and poor support. I saw a mint condition arc S on eBay last night and just couldn't resist it.

Maybe I'll keep both and use the arc S for messing with ROMs, etc.

And do know something else that bugs me - people in this arc forum are generally helpful and polite, treating "noobs" with respect. Over in the N4 forum it is completely different - God help you if you ask something they deem a "stupid" question as they'll rip you to pieces. Very sad.

Despite Sony not coming through with JB, despite housing cracks, despite poor ICS performance, low memory, low storage space, I still think the arc S is a GREAT phone. The design is second-to-none, you can swap the battery, you can use an SD card, you can listen to FM radio, the screen is excellent and the camera compared to the N4 is in a different league. Plus I got myself a Nexus 7 back in the summer so my smartphone needs have changed somewhat - gaming for example is something I only do on the N7 now.

So there you have it. The grass isn't always greener on the other side!
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Honesty can't get any better than this.

I'm feeling the same way about my arc S, believe me. I have a feeling that I will use it as long as possible, and even after I get another phone, I doubt, very much, that I will ever sell this one.

This beauty is not yet matched, and I doubt it will be matched any time soon.

You know, I have this friend of mine, not very tech educated, but he likes to spend money on new tech gadgets, because he can.

Up untill few days ago, he was having HTC Evo 3D, and he always played with my phone, telling that it's the most beautiful phone he ever saw. Now he bought iPhone 4S to "test it a little bit", and he still plays with my phone every time we go out on coffee. He is looking arc S from every angle like for dozens of times, and keeps repeating that it's the most beautiful phone ever designed.

He never opted to buy it because then it wouldn't be "status symbol" he is carying around, but it's enough for me to see with what desire he is looking at my phone.

And he is not the only one. My other friends, using other phones/brands, share the same opinion about arc S.

It is repeated for thousands of times already, that build quality could be better (and it could, indeed), but design is yet to be matched. And judging by actual trends in smartphone designs (Sony included), like creating lifeless boring plates, I doub't that any time soon we will see an original and sexy design like with Xperia arc/S.

And, congratulations on your new white arc S. ;) :good:
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
Thanks.

And if I had of posted something like this on the N4 forum it would already be full of insulting replies. :)
[Xperia Arc General] rustynuts34:
I still have my original arc, which is getting on for two years old now (housing replaced under warranty) and as like yourself was going to upgrade to the N4, but reading this had made me think twice about it. I also bought a nexus 7 back in July which covers most of my needs gaming, movies, skygo etc.

Cheers for posting your thoughts, it sounds like we have similar tastes in gadgets, so i think for now my arc shall suffice. Maybe a reduction in my line rental is the way to go. :)
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
+1 I just don't get it, bigger Phones are a step backwards imo and everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon. I sold my Arc to buy a Ray because it does everything I required from my Arc but I just craved the compactness as the even the Arc was just a little too big in the pocket and it's like going from my old Nokia 3210 to an 8210. My actual upgrade isn't due until April but with Sony's current line up of Phones I'm struggling to decide what I might upgrade to as they're all just too big or too ugly for my liking.

Something between the Ray and the Arc (the two most beautiful devices I have ever owned) with the same kind of sleek design as both would be right up my street. The novelty factor of just how beautiful the Ray is hasn't worn off as I still do what mr tortures friend does and pick it up just to admire it lol.
[Xperia Arc General] vr5411:
From usability point, when holding with one hand and using it, going above 4.2 inch is nonsense.

I loaded mine with almost 2GB (a2sd on stock kernel with disabled zram) and still happily running.

Kind Regards, vr.

PS: Since this is your second come back, you have to stay at least entire next year?!

;)
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
Yes! I promise. I'm actually going to try stock (rooted though) GB for a bit. :)

For those that don't know I used an Xperia S for a while earlier this year (wife kindly swapped for my arc S) and I bid this forum goodbye. And I hated it. My wife has it back now. The camera is good but those horrible soft buttons... what were Sony thinking? lol.

I have to say it again - the community around here is superb. :D

Same here, i switch to a xperia ion recently but still find myself preferring my good old arc s. Hope the upcoming update can finally fix the bad lag on arc s wif ICS
[Xperia Arc General] Overdose1986:
Man Im loving my N4 but I still miss my gorgeous white arc s, I gave it to my gf so I can use it whenever I want, but the N4 rocks

I also think that the arc s is a great phone but the n4 is better no matter how much we love the arc s, I wish sony make the arc again with 4 cores and the exactly same desing maybe name it xperia arc X... It will be great

[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
I too was thinking on getting N4 but for what? Do I really need a faster phone? (I'm on KXP JB and it flies) I don't even use it on full capacity so why getting a new phone? I love my Arc S and I'll keep it for at least another year!
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
It arrived this morning and as promised by the seller it is in MINT condition. Not a single blemish or scratch and the white case ... omg ... it is so much nicer than the midnight blue one I had before.

So happy. :)

Next step is to sell my N4 before I tell my wife. I hate selling on eBay so I need to check the XDA rules on selling I guess. I don't want to make any money so perhaps I should just post something over in the N4 forum and ask people to PM me? Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
[Xperia Arc General] Johnsmith12345:
I think new XDA rules is not allowed to sell buddy they removed marketplace section aswell. But maybe if you do it privately with someone on here who has good reputation with many thanks itll be safe. Make sure you do PM :D

Anyone tried new 4.2.1 ROM feels so smooth. Not sure which is better that or beautiful ICS
[Xperia Arc General] arpith.fbi:
Last week I went to a mobile store to sell my Arc S...But when he was ready to take it I just backed off..I couldnt sell it at all! It was really emotional situation. Hence I have decided to never my Arc S..Its the best phone ever...its like a girlfriend man...smart..sexy..kinda slow(lazy)..delicate.. :)
[Xperia Arc General] sinkster:
Same here. Bought myself an HTC one x seeing as I've had this phone since last May, but I don't want to stop using my arc. It's pretty gubbed and has no sound and weak WiFi due to a couple of facia replacements going wrong, but I just can't put it in the drawer. My Mrs said I should recycle it but that would be sacrilege(in my eyes anyway), so now I'm tinkering with 2 phones. Possibly grounds for divorce...
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
Gubbed? Brilliant. I have a few mates up in your neck of the woods (Cumbernauld) but have never heard that one before!
[Xperia Arc General] stu15:
I had an iPhone 3G up until 11 months ago, decided I needed a new phone, I tend to keep phones for 3 years, so coming up to a year now, the only thing that annoys me is phones have changed quite a bit in specifications, And its easy to trick myself into needing a new phone. But I love my white Arc S, and it's capable of all day to day needs, I don't play many games because they do my head in with the touch screen, trying to make console-like games... Anyway. Running Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.2 Rom, it's ICS based and really nice and fast, probably the best ICS Rom, and will keep the phone running smooth for ages.

Keep us updated with what you do with it. (basically use the forum ;)
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
I just loaded it up with MP3s (via a 32GB microSD card) and wow, I'd forgotten how good the audio quality was ... really excellent. The N4 is pretty good too but the volume is weak and the arc packs a lot more bass. I just tried the same tracks on both phones with my semi-decent Sennheiser headphones and the arc definitely sounds better to my middle-aged ears.

I've flashed GB for a giggle. I don't think I'll last long though and I'll probably flash the upcoming 4.1.B.1.13 release as soon as it's available.

I still haven't told my wife. ha ha ha.

Their designs are among the lifeless in the whole smartphone market to me. Boring, dull, uninspiring, copy-pasted. They can conquer the market as much as they want, and being called the best, bla bla... But I will never buy one.

They tried to play with curves in this GSIII thing, but they failed miserably. Hardware specs left aside, that phone is flop of the year to me.

't I myself is still inlove with the ARC S I've had for about a year. It's really a masterpiece, sure sometimes I feel it doesnt satisfy all my needs, like more RAM, But the quality, the look and feel of using it is superb.

I was thinking of upgrading to Xperia V, but after using it an hour orso. The sound quality is just awfull. playing on 100% is like playing on 70% on ARC. And those gaps you need to open are really a hassle for me (though waterproof is a big +)

Screen is to dark. etc..

Who else has had issues using the micro HDMI port?

I bought an adapter and the TV crackles and the tablet switches to landscape and and the volume slider fixes at full, so its as if they are both seeing each other but then I get no audio video.

Does anybody have any advice as to how to tell if there is something wrong with the HDMI port on my tablet?

Hard to say, it could be the cable, my first port of call would be to replace that, it could also be the TV, so try another if you can. Standard practice for ruling out the potential cause.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
What is the best kernel for stock 4.2.1 rom?

What I seek:

Fast, smooth and good battery life.

Type of Use:

Use hard during the day, but do not play games on it. Social networks, email, camera (very used), music (very used), feeds, maps, youtube.

I tested the Leankernel, quite liked, has a good battery life and is very slightly faster and smoother than stock, but has some small lag sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alizafar:
Yep I too wanted to ask the same question as I love stock but hate the color contrast! So yeah what is the best one for stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
There is no "best" kernel. The one built into the ROM you use (in your case stock) is usually the best combination since they were built to work together.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
I'd say stock. For non-stock I'd say leankernel. Since you tried both, I guess I'm out of options here. Trinity was way too buggy, Franco did better, but not quite there yet since 4.2, AK is worth a try. Faux is not bad either. But I always end up with stock. Try each for a few days, since they work differently on ever phone. See which works the best for you.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
I keep reading everywhere that i should keep my gps off because it drains the battery very quick but im a little confused, if it turn it off then doing stuff like sharing my location on facebook, twitter, foursquare wouldnt work? if i make a check in foursquare for example it wont work if i have my gps off? or they use internet to track my location? can these applications turn on the gps by themselves or i have to turn it on by myself everytime?

In reality how much battery would be drained if i leave the gps on all the time? :confused:

Also i'm confused by google services i think they're a little redundant: Google navigation and google maps? can't you do the same "navigation" with google maps ? you can get into google navigation inside google maps but there's still a shortcut for navigation :confused: What's the difference?

Also you have local but it uses google maps and then you have latitude :confused: and earth which is basically the same but with a wrold map .

Can anyone enlighten me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmalinowski:
Locations can be determined from networks (either cell towers or wifi networks), just not as accurately or quickly.

Navigation navigates. Sounds obvious, but it is different than just maps. Navigate gives turn-by-turn navigation. Maps is just maps. It finds stuff... including your location. And can show you a path from point A to point B.

I thought latitude was more of a social check-in app.

I am no expert and am new to android, so someone may be better at explaining things.

Chris
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Apps can't turn GPS on without asking you first / sending you to the settings to enable it. Like cmalinowski said, it still has ways of figuring out your general location.

Latitude is a social thing. I'm pretty sure about four people use it, all Google employees.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
For navigation I use waze, and I used to use Foursquare instead of latitude.

Regarding your question, you must have the location services ON, in order to have all the features.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Yeah for sure the location when i use just 3g is not very accurate, it says i'm in places like 2 km away :eek:

Navigations works only by car and by foot, no bus or subway directions right?

So a good example of how to use google services is use the maps to get the directions: lets say you take the subway and when you get off and start walking you switch to navigation so you know in which street/alley should you cross, right?

Ok so latitude is sort of a foursquare then?

Yes i have the location services on but its kinda worthless because if you have the gps off they dont work at all or just work poorly
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Poor google, its a shame , just like google+, very pretty but no one uses it :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i never turn my gps off. the big savings in battery is keeping the screen brightness down. the screen is so good that i can keep mine almost all the way down and it is still pretty bright.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3xboar:
I honestly don't think you have to worry about gps on off or other options... I have everything enabled, and i mean everything, all the time - and my battery easily lasts a day under moderate usage.

when im heavy using it, I admit i throw it on the usb charger to pc at work. but if i dont it will be around 6-10% by the evening.

it's irrelevant for me because i do charge it every night. ultra small price to pay for vast functionality that the phone offers. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
they designed it in a way that if an app is not calling it then GPS is turned off automatically. there is really no reason (now) to keep GPS off. just leave it on and let Android decide if it is needed.

and the battery drain from Navigating with public transportation would leave the phone dead in an hour.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Ok i will keep my gps on then :) , yeah the battery MELTS with maps and/or navigation :crying:
