aGPS

Use GPS-powered location-based services.

XPERIA arc has aGPS (Assistant-GPS) which dose not need GPS hardware.
[Xperia Arc General] Infinity1988:
It does have gps hardware. Assisted gps means it has a gps receiver that can get help from other sources like the internet and cell towers. It can use those other sources to get a faster fix. But it still uses a gps receiver.

The x10 also has aGPS, how would the phone be able to get your position with a precision of around 4 m without a gps chip? That's only possible with GPS hardware. Every mobile phone has assisted gps because they have acces to a cellphone network or the internet.
[Xperia Arc General] moacyrfilho:
It seems that finally SonyEricsson abandoned that ****ty Mediascape and Timescape! God bless them! They were really beautiful apps, but android's native did an awesome job at blazing speeds. Not to mention the mess that happens when you install official facebook and twitter apps. Hope they bring this "cleaning up" to the x10 series. *crossing fingers*
[Xperia Arc General] javagreen:
It does have Timescape, it's categorically mentioned on their website. Not too sure about Mediascape though.

[Xperia Arc General] flynny:
ive been waiting for a new phone to replace my HTC Legend (its too small!) I wasnt even going to look at what Sony had to offer mainly Motorola or HTC.

But after seeing this, Im hoping the Camera is as good as there making as thats my main gripe with the Legend and all other phones ive tried, blurred pictures/videos.

Hurry up and release RAW pictures and footage made with the phone!

(I work as an animator so good quality video capture and photos are my priority, and before people start suggesting I carry a camera around with me, that cant really be applied as inspiration for a new animation/move/character comes from anywhere and at any moment, but il always have my phone with me 99% of the time.)

I like the thinness I think that is a good compromise considering how large it is but I hope its durable for being in the jeans otherwise I can see there being plenty of returns...

As usual, new phone announced, so older ones are send to cementary -.-
[Xperia Arc General] nekkidtruth:
It's funny cause wasn't unknown just in here saying there was news for the X10? Little did we know it was a slap across the face. Unless of course they're planning on skipping 2.2 and jumping directly to 2.4 for the X10, which seems highly unlikely going by the announcement.

The announcement claims that 2.2 is not coming as according to SE, 2.1 is better than 2.2 vanilla hahaha. Nowhere have I seen an announcement claiming 2.1 is the final update to the X10 series. Please post links to that claim.

[Xperia Arc General] :
Sony Arc has front camera?
[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
yeah, I just got a confirmation yesterday night that the internal 3.0 update version number is scrapped from X10 lineup. It will now move to new line-ups for Q3/Q4 update. Sorry about this guys. The reason being is from the delay of the first 2.1 update. It moved everything down the timeline, so it got shifted out. Apologies guys. I guess we have to depend on the XDA team here. :(
[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
Nope, it does not.
[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
Not at CES definitely, unless any of the staffs are using it :p It will come next show.
[Xperia Arc General] Sighx:
All I know is SE failed in creating all X10's equally. A lot of people have random overheating of the CPU which causes the phone to go into a coma and reboot constantly. Then you have those who have no problem. And unfortunately I'm one of those with the ****ty ass reboots. fk se - - - design just doesn't equal quality anymore for me
[Xperia Arc General] :
M wondering whether i shud go for sony arc??

6mnths after release we will be in the same position..
[Xperia Arc General] peter_15:
Now that its been scrapped, can you tell what this update 3 suppose to bring? Just curious :|
[Xperia Arc General] ooidort:
For the first time during my ownership of the X10 I feel pissed off. After all, I'm practically married to this phone for the next 1,5 years. Shiet. Maybe I'll just buy an ZTE Blade, it's cheap and apparently a lot more future proof than this X10.

Edit-

Hah, can't even describe how I feel right now. What a great way to waste 500 euros.
[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
Hahahahaha sorry, there's nothing about it yet. It's planned, but no scope for it yet since the handset hasn't been released to retail yet. The scope should be out around mid Q2.
[Xperia Arc General] MarcioHomem:
And about UXP upgrade for X10, SE will deliver the promised?

You know, DNLA support and improvements on Mediascape/Timescape.

Thanks for keep us informed!
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
Wait a sec... so because SE couldn't get their **** together and release 2.1 on time, it pushed everything else out, and planned updates have been cancelled because of this?

What's the internal support cycle for the a product at SE? The X10 has only been available for 9 months!

Tell your company if they're going to abandon us like this, the very least they can do is open the bootloader so we can support ourselves. It's not loss to them, since they don't give a crap about us anymore anyways.
[Xperia Arc General] peter_15:
lol i mean the features that the update 3 suppose to bring for X10 (for ex. Did it they ever think to bring Android 2.2/2.3 if the 2.1 update delay didnt mess up everything?)... Now that its been cancelled, does it mean that there will be no more update for X10 (after the one that will bring pinch zoom)?

edit: i hope they'll change their mind after all the hate tweets/feedback they're receiving... :P
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Agreed. And to stop releasing updates that make it hard to root!
[Xperia Arc General] ooidort:
My thoughts exactly. I mean, wtf? This surely has to effect the sales of the future phones from SE. By now everyone knows how godawful the support is/has been for the current Xperia range. I just don't get it.
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
Yeah, as I said on the SE Product Blog SE just keeps putting nails in their own coffin. Sites like Engadget have been posting about SE's horrible support on the X10 line since before it's release in March. Statements like that from SE UK are going to bite them back, especially as they alienate all their current customers.

SE stated they wanted to be the number one Android hardware manufacturer, but they aren't acting like that their goal. Even Apple can't get away with constantly pissing off customers.

@unknown13

Can you comment on any of the following features of Android 2.2 currently missing from the X10 being brought over in any of the planned updates:

- apps2sd

- JIT compiler

- V8 javascript engine

- Adobe Flash

- Adobe AIR

- OpenGL ES 2.0

- USB tethering and WiFi internet sharing

...a long list isn't it?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] lornova:
I don't like the Xperia Arc. The X10 has a perfect form factor, this "arc" seems too slim.

I really hope that at least all﻿ the errors of the X10 are fixed, and that this one will have:

- a higher volume loudspeaker

- USB port not covered by an inconvenient door

- USB port located under (and not above) for better in-car use

- car cradle/table charger support

However, I will probably no more buy a Sony Ericsson phone because the lacking of up to date software support. I don't trust Sony Ericsson as a company any more.
[Xperia Arc General] TimMun:
I am going to get the Arc as soon as it goes on sale! :D

Looks so sick... <3
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
Good luck with your new SE phone.

[Xperia Arc General] Jamolah:

[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Hallon, Yes.

Arc, No.

Wondering why? Sony Ericsson's lack of planning is one.
[Xperia Arc General] a.monteiro:
i like my x10 and i'm interested in the xperia Play or whatever it's called, but this upgrade fiasco is seriously pushing me towards the competition.
[Xperia Arc General] qwer23:
I think the same. I was (and still am) pretty amazed by the arc, but after my X1 was dropped without even a WM 6.5 update and the X10 was dropped without even a 2.2 update (which even the middle-ranged phones of other companies got - and the X10 is still the flagship of SE!!!) i don't think anymore that SE will change their strategy for the better.

I'll probably try another manufacturer and keep an eye on the strategy of SE. If they change I'll maybe get back to them in a few years, but right now I seriously had enough!

It's a shame that SE's really good products suffer under the lacking support of the company.
[Xperia Arc General] Infinity1988:
What do you know about the update that brings multitouch? Is that all? They promised a new uxp, dlna,flash.... Or was that the famous update that's been canceled?

They had to be working on the 2.2 or 2.3 rom, why don't they just stop working on it and just release it? Or did they knew for months that it's cancelled? Android 2.2 is so much faster than what we have now. It would finally unlock the potential of the x10. Because even on 2.1 the hardware is being held back by the software.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cereal86:
Hello

Is there any keyboard with arrows wich i can install? like desire hd. i saw on another forum an update zip, but gets error's!

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Malstrond:
Same question here. I tried to use this keyboard, but it doesn't show up in the input method selection menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
This is because you need two files, the main HTC IME file that you must have installed, and the Clicker.apk file. The Clicker file adds the entry to the Locale and Text option in Settings, so you can choose the HTC keyboard. Attached a full package for you below, just unzip and install both as normal APK's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Malstrond:
Ah, thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cereal86:
i installed click.apk and then used de update zip of evo keyboard and when a choose the keyboard i always get an error and force to clode
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
Because you can't use the EVO Keyboard that means, the keyboard i attached has been compiled by XDA'ers and it's compatible with most Froyo phones, the stock Keyboard won't work on ours as we have a Sammy phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cereal86:
damn it! i already tryed the xda version but miss the arrow keys. is there another keyboard like htc with arrows?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pcboyy:

You can set gesture for the arrow functions.. It works for me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxMAGIC MANNxx:
Hey guys, I am rooted and running Virtuous rom and I just wanted to know IF I ever wanted to go back to the stock G2 rom what would I have to do that? Thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
two options:

1. If you were smart, you made a nandroid of your stock ROM the minute you confirmed the root procedure worked. If you did, simply use ROM Manager or boot into recovery, wipe everything, and restore that nandroid.

If you didn't....

2. Download one of the many stock ROMs in the development subforum, and flash that through ROM manager or recovery. Remember to wipe anytime you switch between ROMs (especially Sense-to-stock, or vice versa).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxMAGIC MANNxx:
Is there any stock roms on rom manager that I can just do from there?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Nope, just Cyanogen and Virtuous. Just find a stock ROM that you want to use, download the .zip file, and put that on your memory card (don't unzip it, just drop the whole .zip file as-is). Then, in ROM Manager, choose 'Install Zip from SDcard' and navigate to wherever you put that zip file. ROM Manager will give you the option to wipe and to perform a backup of your current ROM before it flashes the new one - choose both options and let it run. super easy.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxMAGIC MANNxx:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
That's not a stock ROM at all though, it's a custom ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Its stock rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
So it's not a stock ROM then ? If someone is looking for a stock ROM, then flashing a custom ROM isn't going to be what they need, surely ? Because they may well not want root either. Often folks ask for a stock ROM because they are doing a warranty return or similar. Or just want to go back completely to how it came from the factory.

That ROM that you linked has also got a modified RAM disk, and is zip-aligned. So it has several changes from a stock ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
If you're doing warranty work, that's close enough to stock. I don't thing you can 'unroot' your phone and go back to *totally* stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It's very straightforward to remove root, there are several guides on it in the dev section.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
That's funny I never saw where he asked for a complete stock, unrooted rom for warranty purposes, guess you should give him the right link then since you seem to know what he REALLY wants. :rolleyes: and from his second post by asking if he could find a stock rom on rom manager I would think since rom manager requires root to work, he might be looking for a stock rooted rom.

If you want to correct people please give the right awnser then, in this case give him what he's really looking for, as far as the link I provided it seems the only person not happy with the awnser is someone who didn't even ask the question, so keep up the good job "awnser police".

Just curious how much time did you spend researching that I am wrong instead of giving the OP what YOU THINK is the right link??? Time well spent.

But I guess it seems to happen, instead of awnsers we get posts trying to prove who's MORE right.

Well no hard feelings on my end, hope you have a great day, and happy posting.

[G Tablet General] M5Ivan:
I originally bought it thinking I would try it out and probably return it withing 30 days (even with a 15% restocking fee). I've now had it for almost 30 days and as much as I'm sure there will be better tablets in 2011 (and far pricier too), I'm going to keep it as the development community here at XDA has been amazing at unlocking it's potential. I'm currently running Vegan beta 3 and it's been extremely stable for me and the calibration fix was just the icing on the cake! Since I decided to keep it, I just made a carbon fiber backing for it today and it makes it much easier to grip. My only reservation about it is nothing new...the screen could be much better, but somebody here may find a better screen for it. Either way it's a keeper!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim_Chacona:
I get the following error:

^Sorry

Activity HTC Sense (in application HTC sense) is not responding

[Force Close] / [Wait]

Prior to the error code, HTC Sense starts to lag, gets sticky, then becomes unresponsive, then sometimes freezes, and occasionally automatically reboots.

After reboot everything is OK for a short time then the problem resurfaces. The [Force Close] and or [Wait} button options only briefly delay problem.

Following is a possible diagnostic clue: The HTC Sense seems to stick immediately after removing my charging plug from handset. Upon immediatly reinserting charging plug the HTC Sense stickyness seems to be temporarily eliminated, yet the stickyness issue can manifest while plugged into charging.

Even without activity and a fresh reboot the EVO can be on the charger overnight and encounter the glitch with initial activity.

Factory data reset did not resolve the issue. Fully updated. Not rooted. Standard and approved apps and original browser - all updated. Nothing exotic or unusual installed.

Suggestions please before I go to Sprint Service Center for help or hopefully new replacement.
