I just swapped out my HTC Hero for an Optimus S... let's get a forum started here and we can start modding it :) IMO, this thing doesn't even need modding to be good. Aside from all the bloat Sprint installed, it's already better than the Hero.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jim01:
I snagged a brand new Optimus S on eBay so that I can save my upgrade credit in the hopes that Sprint will come out with a dual core baddy later this year.

I am suprised this place and androidforums don't have a specific forum on this phone. This is my first android, coming from a BB 8330 (which I LOVE).

I would definately be interested in a specific forum for rooting, messing with my new phone. I guess I'll just play with it as is for a while.

I'm having this strange issue when i'm typing a message, there used to be a green letter or when you push 1 second on the letter e you would get alot of other e's (èéë.. those) but now they don't show up.. so actually i can't see which letter i'm touching :s.

The weirdness al happened when i downloaded the anastasia keyboard.. then i removed it and suddenly my keyboard showed white letters.. i found a "solution" cab.. but when i installed that original cab, my phone froze when i booted it.. so then i performed a task29 and flashed a stock rom..

Now i wanted to send a messag to friend and i realised that the letters with green background (to show which letter you where touching) were gone :s. can someone help me with that.. or tell me what to do in the registry :s. Thanks!

ps: first i thought it was some update from the 2.15.50.14 radio but when i switched it back to 2.12.50.02 the problem was still there :s

(sorry for my bad english)

I have a Rom 1.66.404.1 NLD (stock rom)

Xperia Arc is the latest smartphone by Sony Ericsson that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with a custom skin, a 1GHz processor, 4.2” Reality display with Sony Mobile BRAVIA® Engine and an 8MP camera. I will definitely buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
[Xperia Arc General] rajasyaitan:
It is the design and the Mobile BRAVIA Engine isn't it?
[Xperia Arc General] lude219:
Didn't you hear? Just adding "_____ ENGINE" to any phone will guarantee the clueless consumers will buy in masses!! :D

Unfortunately, it comes with a single-core CPU.
[Xperia Arc General] canadariot2312:
And they took the sensor from the Cybershot. Won't be out until April though.
[Xperia Arc General] orb3000:
It was about time for a 1GHz:eek:

Anyway I still faithful to HTC;)
[Xperia Arc General] aaa:
Sony will be a lot left behind with those specs to be able to compete this year with other phone manufactures because other manufactures will offer dual-cored procs.

1GHz Procs? 512MB?...hey...my Desire already has those specs (with older hardwares of course).

The word "BRAVIA-ENGINE" alone will not be able to withstand the dual-core waves.

My next smartphone will have:

Dual-cored proc

independent graphic proc

1GB RAM

at least 1.5GB internal memory

SD Card slot

HDMI output

USB connnection

Most important: latest available Android version

(No tablets for me)

Currently, I am drooling over the Motorola ATRIX...but wanna wait untill all manufactures has been distributing those dual-cores smarties.

How much will be Xperia Arc ?
[Xperia Arc General] canadariot2312:
You might have to wait a while on that. It will be a LONG time before AMD or NVIDIA release graphics card for mobile phones. Everything else seems fairly reasonable though.

The Xperia Arc does use the newer snapdragon chips so that is a plus in my book.
[Xperia Arc General] Zaslav:
This...If there is anything I learned from owning an X10 is that updates are slow and Sony Ericsson locks down the phone tighter than a nun's...Well you know where I'm going with that.
[Xperia Arc General] antonymilo:
...

If the arc had a dual core cpu the combination of the cpu and the screen would make the battary discharge in half an hour.

Always judge a product from the whole and the final output rather than an individual characteristic. So it has been fully optimize the software, then a single core processor can be much better than a dual core on a cell that has to lift a buggy operating system. See the benchmark http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php...on-xperia-arc/preview/sshots/gsmarena_025.jpg and you will understand.

So the overall performance is what counts. If the mobile is scrolling comfortable as we care what processor time? Just to say 'look I have dual core cpu on my mobile'?.The psp has a single core 333mz and it can ran better than any smart phone.the OS is the key!

And because we get around, do not say that anything is 1Ghz!Did we say things that we have the best (on paper) and lose the substance. As a tear drops because Arc has 8Mpx camera and not 12. If you tell them that it is better than the previous 8Mp and the 12mp they would not understand.Rather prefer to buy a desktop pc if i look for the 1gb ram the 2 core cpu...And all because we have put in one meaningless match, the first megapixel now with ghz processor and mb of Ram.

i forgot to say tha 2.4 ginger http://static.techspot.com/fileshost/newspics3/2010/android_24_leaked.jpg

and 3.0 honeycomp would be official http://blog.dialaphone.co.uk/2011/0...-honeycomb-doesnt-need-a-dual-core-processor/

the other phones i think that the would released with the froyo 2.2 not 2.3 ginger:confused:. so if you buy the dual core cpu phones you have to wait 2-3 months for the ginger:eek: if u preffer the arc you would update in 2-3 months to 2.4 or 3.0...your choice....:D
[Xperia Arc General] vapotrini:
That's sounds all nice and good but you're forgetting an important factor. When was the last time Sony Ericsson put out a smart phone on time?

I think you're going to be waiting a lot longer than you think.
[Xperia Arc General] antonymilo:
as u say it will take some time..thanks for that!

we must wait!also this is not the final edition of the phone...
[Xperia Arc General] lude219:
What does that benchmark proves? That a 2nd generation CPU is better than a 1st generation? Have you even seen the benchmark for dual core (think +2200 and up)? Did you know dual cores have just as good of a power management as a single core? Did you know the matrix 4G has a 1930mah battery and can last 10hrs of talk time even on 3G while still having a 10mm waistline?

I'm not gonna lie, the design of the Arc is downright amazing (undoubtedly best one out of CES), but other than that, I'd be stupid of purchasing one when there are much better phones out there.
[Xperia Arc General] antonymilo:
Like i sayed before if the mobile is scrolling comfortable as we care what processor time? Just to say 'look I have dual core cpu on my mobile'?.The psp has a single core 333mz and it can ran better than any smart phone.The design plus the camera plus the screen plus the gin 2.3 and the confirmiration of the 3.0 honeycomp made me take the decision to buy that.the MES is in february so we must wait to take the final decision.:rolleyes: Although the Htc Thunderbolt is a very good choce(hightech phone)!The cpu MSM8960 1.2 dual and adreno 3000 would be awesome!but i don't like design.It's like all the htc devices....
[Xperia Arc General] lude219:
This is SE we're talking about, so it's laughable that you're even talking about OS update. Remember what happen in the past? I'm sure people who have X1, X2 and X10 do...

Yes, you should care about processing time. The less time it takes to carry out an instruction/start/run a progam, the least amount of drainage on the battery (equating to less heat generated by the CPU). Scrolling would probably be 2x smoother on a dual core compare to the 2nd gen single core.

Here's an analogy, what's more tiring to your body? Flying in 1st class from the UK to Italy or driving from UK to Italy? Technology is no different. The less time you spend doing any task, the more time you have doing other stuff and the less exhaustive the phone is.
[Xperia Arc General] antonymilo:

After X10 , NO more SE on Android System

I prefer switch to another brand

SE is just a lier, they don't care the customers, in-call volume super low, they don't care, Android no 2.2 they don't care

I Agree the X10 is a good phone, if the in-call volume can be hear and android version at least 2.2

I guess the supporting of X12 is the same on X10

So, If your heart is very hard to break, you can try X12

When you found out X12 any problem you "SHOULD" accept it, like it, love it, make believe it....... otherwise you'll the other Broken Heart

[Xperia Arc General] nizaamh:
We all agree that SE makes really great phones...right.We have seen that single core cpu phones can out perform the new dual core phones.It is a matter of the OS. I suppose that once the OS is perfected then dual core will be the future.

SE has gone through a tough period and im sure that they can pull through.Financial restrictions have obviously caused certain other depts. to suffer - customer service etc.Im not sure about you guys but I think they make some of the best looking and also potentially great phones - features related.Look at Motorola they pulled through.From virtually making nothing new( because of problems) to winning awards CES 2011 Mot XOOM and Atrix ETC.I dont think we must write off SE

I think the Arc looks really slick. I just dont like how the carrier is up in the air. Plus theres nothing thats saying its 4G compatible. Now Im not knocking hardware, because its meeting the requirements (even without dual core). But I passed on th Nexus S simply because there was no 4G
[Xperia Arc General] mith500:
I am guessing you are you referring to HSPA+?

The Arc provides upto 7.2mbps download speed and 5.6mbps upload speed.

In real word speeds even though my network advertises 21mbps download speeds, I only get about 6-7Mbps download on my x10 and about 2.5 mbps upload so the arc is more than sufficient for me.

BTW there is no 4G out yet as most of the carriers are misusing the term 4G.

An issue I have with the nexus S is there is no slot for a memory card.....that's a no go in my book...lol

What is the big deal with the higher the spec phone the better?

IT’S A PHONE.

I like a phone to use as a phone, maybe check my e-mails. Play games. Run a good sat nav program.

My tp2 does all that with a 528mhz cpu. 288 ram. Even watch a good film. So the arc has to be my next phone.

Only problem I have is no tomtom for android. I love tomtom on my winmo 6.5.
[Xperia Arc General] mith500:
Does anyone feel a bit disappointed with the specs of the arc after the Galaxy S II event.

I mean I am not crazy after dual core etc.. but it would be good to have the best tech available the time when you get a new phone.

Samsung managed to put a dual core, 1gb ram, super amoled plus, front facing cam and make it thinner than the arc. WOW

In comparison the arc seems lacking especially considering its priced at the same range as other high end devices.

OK, I posted in the eLocity room, but it not very active at the moment and I figured you guys here would be better informed.

I picked up at eLocity A7 (at the sale price of $299.99) to have something smaller than my g tablet to carry around. I broke the screen (sat on it). I have sent Stream TV/eLocity an e-mail to see if I can have it fixed. I'm not confident they will offer this service so am also looking for a replacement screen, just in case I have to fix (attempt) my self.

Anyone have any idea where a replacement might be found.

If you have clockwork recovery installed then boot into clockwork recovery. (if not then install clockwork recovery 0.8)

Plug tab into computer with USB cable

Go into "mounts and storage"

"mount USB storage"

Don't know if it makes a difference but I only use the mini usb port on the tab.

I didn't have cm 6.2 installed long because it still has all the 3g stuff on it but it seemed to me it was seeing my external sdcard (sdcard2) as my internal sdcard (sdcard). You could try putting the update.zip on a micro sdcard and putting that in the tab and then seeing if clockwork sees it to install

Hi All

I wonder if anyone can help me identify a chip in my XDA/Aremis?

I got the phone for free as it was not charging. Obviously the guy had tried to fit it himself and broken an SMD chip leg off at the case. Optimistically, I spent a bit of time scraping the plastic off the case and trying to get a solder joint but no luck.

The chip itself has 4 legs, is around the size of the end of a ballpoint pen, located very close to the USB port and has the letters N87 printed on it.

I've searched this site and googled it, but had no joy. I'm hoping to buy a duff phone from fleabay and pinch the chip out of that, but if I fail, I'll need to get another chip or replace it with discretes if at all possible.

All replies gratefully received....

Since MagLdr release, i have never seen any build that is compatible to run from magldr's "Boot AD SD" option, am i missing something?

from what i understood and tried by myself (after unfortunatelly losing my setup) normal SD build are not compatible with this option.

How can i convert normal SD or NAND roms to run from SD with this magldr option?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
It's not something you'd call compatible, but with a little bit of work all of the sd builds that uses the cedesmith initrd can be modified pretty easily to boot from magldr.

After playing around with android for a while I had descided to go back to windows mobile, really just to clean everything up and start again from scratch. I extracted the .nbh file from the official o2 rom, renamed it leoimg.nbh and put it on my sd card.

I have done this a few times before. This time when I go into the boot loader by powering on the phone and selecting the volume down key it will not flash the rom it simply stays at the hspl screen.

I have tried both hspl 2.08 and 1.66 but no joy. Anybody got any ideas how to fix this?

[Solution]

Found a solution for this. If you are unable to get into the bootloader like I was try the following steps

1. Run the installer from windows and install windows normally, This will remove averything but hspl

2. Use a 2gb or less SD card and format it using the phones format utility

3. With the phone connected via usb to windows extract the .nbh file use win rar and rename it to leoimg.nbh and copy to the phones SD card

4. Reboot holding the volume down key and go into the bootloader

I have just tested this method on my phone and it has remvoed everything and restored windows
