[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
OK, so...I just got my hands on a unit, not the arc, but a neo, all I can say is it is BLAZING fast. You guys remember the pinch zoom on the homescreen to pull up all the widgets and SO MANY of you said, it sucks because it lags...welp, I'm here to tell you that it's now fast, and NEARLY lag free. I noticed that many of the lags comes from widgets pulling information from the internet, such as Youtube, Market, etc. These widgets will cause a slight lag to retrieve info, but other than that, it's BLAZING fast :) I might post a video this weekend showing it, but that's it, cuz my unit is still a a proto and is missing some of the main key-selling hardware :)
[Xperia Arc General] iead1:
Played with the Arc tonight.

Best cellphone I have ever used. Insanely fast, the screen looks amazing...

Here's some screenshots:
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
Why .. do the first 2 look kinda red-ish ? As a boy it looks aweful to me ... good for girls I guess ..

BTW it reminds me of the Sony Walkman A 845 which is awesome :D
[Xperia Arc General] oddlo:
Who stays with their phone for years anyway ?

Most of us swap their phones once a year, so who cares if there is only one or two sw updates in between ?
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
Pink colour is exclusively released in Japan, hence the red-sh in those pictures
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
Thank god ...:)
[Xperia Arc General] louis0815:
Weel, I must admit I rather stay with my phone for longer than swapping it for some new crap - unfortunately the newer models are not always better.

It's all about finding the right balance between needs and nerds ;)

I still love my good old K750i and use it from time to time.

Besides that I have to work hard for my money and can't afford spending 500+ bucks per year just for having the latest model....
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
Im totally with you, I also use a cellphone at least 2 years, if not 3. Those 460 € for my new Arc come from 6 weeks, 6 & 1/2 hours a day, work at my mums restaurant. I dont like it if someone speaks so easily about other ppl's money.;)
[Xperia Arc General] HYPER-X10:
I hope you don't mean you have to work 6 weeks to get 460 €?

Then again, when I worked for my Mum I was lucky to get anything...... :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
Actually I got no money at all besides a roof and food, I just took a slice from the tips which added up to roughly 500 bucks. Life's a ***** but still better than drinking mud-water in rural areas of china.;)
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Well, when you are living at your parents its enough isn't it? At least you are helping in there business, my oldest son is seriously thinking money is growing on my back...

really waiting for the arc now, I cracked my screen of my x10 in the office by accident yesterday... Quite frustrating, just ran into a desk with the phone in my pocket. Its quite ruined now but fixing it costs too much money as the arc will arrive next month...
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
just an excuse to get a new phone :p
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Shhhh... Don't tell anyone :D...
[Xperia Arc General] zubrug:
shucks

oops, just cracked my screen........... ummm "Honey, you won't believe this but............,"

My x10 is useless, reboots too often to be usefull, Very frustrating (using my htc dream with 2.2 ) but still have my eye on that very pretty Arc.
[Xperia Arc General] refract:
arc will be around 470 euros, aye ?
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Well, the misses also ordered one, so I didn't have to use this as an excuse....:D just annoying I can't sell my x10 anymore now...
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
You could invest in a new screen and use Mckebapp's guide to swap it! If you can get a screen cheap enough.. Possibly from someone whose x10 had died for different reasons (motherboard, usb failure etc)?
[Xperia Arc General] jakhan86:
I guess those *****ing about locked bootloader and updates can now rest in peace. Nice comeback by SE.

Im upset about Sony's shipment delay to the middle east. Ordered two arcs a month ago and still waiting :(

DUDE DUDE DUDE!!:eek:

WTF??:confused:

SONY ERICSSON WILL BE OPENING THE BOOTLOADER FOR THE NEW XPERIA RANGE WHICH MEANS WE CAN DO ANY DAMM THING WITH IT.:D:p:cool:

BTW ITS SO DAMM SEXY WITHOUT DOING ANY THING WITH IT..!!
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
When the thread was posted it's information was accurate, the announcement from Sony Ericsson surprised us all.
[Xperia Arc General] ronniecross:
It's still a bit of a BS thread though...
[Xperia Arc General] iead1:
Was never accurate. Opinion can't be accurate, that's what facts are for.
[Xperia Arc General] Tanklf:
It is a UNIQUE Android phone... and its application is enough for those who wish a smartphone juz like me... Then, wats different between rooted phone and non-rooted phone??? still same function right???
[Xperia Arc General] kaisan1:
hahaha...slapped right on the face..!!:d
[Xperia Arc General] kaisan1:
i agree its already great without rooting but with a rooted phone you can do a lot more stuff..!!
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:

There are a number of apps that require superuser permissions to operate.
[Xperia Arc General] fredastere:
*high five*

as I'm still using my X1 proudly! Of course with new ROMs but it still do the work , 2years ish later.

I'm hoping the same for the Arc , good 2-3 years usage.

I want reliable emails in and out , good call quality , amazing camera and good movie viewer for all those wait on business trips and whatnot.

Plus now some good games.

I'm just a bit disapointed to not have a physical keyboard anymore :( I'm hoping it will be ok and that I will adapt... =/

And no I will not get the Xperia Pro that has the same specs and a physical keybord...Arc is simply sexier

Thanks for letting us know but I think that most of the people on those boards do their homework and analyze greatly which phone they will get...so your arguments are kind of silly ... it's not msn.com or yahoo boards with tons of clueless people..

:cool:
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
He's wrong though.. it will be updated.. and reasonably regularly too.
[Xperia Arc General] d_dan:
To be honest it was SE's first android handset and the key problem is that they coded every packet in the development of firmware of the 1.6 of build for the x10 more than likely not knowing for sure how fast android was going to progress.

But now they seem to be just placing a nice skin over the firmware knowing now that they can just updates with a hell of a lot less work than coding every single packet every time a new release comes out.
[Xperia Arc General] JrnyFan4Life:
Speaking of old phones, I've still got a SE W995, still works, battery life is still top notch but it's seen better days. I'm currently using it until I decide on what phone I want.

My phone always show maximum 25 text messages on home screen. I usually text ,and sometimes I need to look back message. Is there anyway I can change the option to view 99 or more message on home screen? OR does Win 6.5 has any application to view all messages sent or received from a specific number like iphone or android phone. To illustrate my question, I will attach a picture which shows 1/99 messages.

Sorry about my broken English.

So I just received my replacement EVO.

Hardware: 004

Radio: 2.15.00.11.19

Software version: 3.70.651.1

PRI: 1.77_003

PRL: 60675

Can someone please tell me the best way to root/unlock with S-OFF?

I see 2 different recent root methods but not sure which one to use.

Im not sure if unrevoked works on the hboot im running. I havent done much research on unrevoked since I heard so many bad things in the past. I just want a sure-fire way to root and be completely unlocked.

Also, I was wondering which method leaves my current hboot, radio, software version, and PRI alone. Or will I really need to downgrade my hboot? I thought I read somewhere we need to be on 0.76 hboot since the newer hboots dont play well with some roms.

I also see some people using 1.90 PRI. Im confused there cause my replacement is completely up to date and it has PRI 1.77?

[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
To answer this part only as you have the rest:

You can run android on the elf, there are a few projects, the WING Deve one found in the rom section, and also a GUI type install which is in the general section. I think this is working on trying to get 2.2 to work - I have not tried this one though.

My question now is is there any way i can get the default HTC Theme(HTC Home!) back, or do i have to downgrade for that. I Put Up In INDIA & the phone was bought from Airtel(Network) ..

Does anyone has The Default HTC HOME THEME ?

BASICALLY I WANT ORIGINAL WIN 6.1 OS & HTC HOME THEME, is it possible ?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
HTC Home theme, do you mean the one with the cube with 4 tabs? Why? its nasty! TouchFlo is much nicer, with more functionality, I suggest it may be worth giving that a go.

Alternatively, you can go to the shipped roms thread and find one for your phone there.
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
Every few hours Google Voice seems to reset itself to a freshly installed state, stopping it from syncing and causing me to miss messages. Only after I open the app and go though the initial configuration pages again does it function properly (until it resets itself again). This behavior has only occurred on the latest Super Clean 2.X roms. I've wiped, cleared cache, fixed permissions, etc. Anyone else noticed this?
[Fascinate General] CeDj2:
I'm using Google Voice with SC 2.4 and it seems to be working fine. The only thing I can think of that you did not mention is some kind of task killer. I use Mobile Guard and I had to clear Google Voice off of its kill list.
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
Then it's probably just me. I'll try a data wipe again, should fix it.

Hi,

Next week I'll visit Germany (Frankfurt, Hannover and maybe Munich) the main goal for visit is CebIT 2011.

I need to use my Dell streak for browsing internet and corp email and maybe some VOIP call.

Which GSM provider and data plan you recommend to buy for Data connection only (No direct call or SMS at all).

Hi,

What the hell, how is it even possible.. Just rght now, I was waiting for my messages to loead for a long time, because the message screen was white, and then I realised they are gone.. Wrote a new one and that is there, but how can they delete them selves..? Since I had a lot of important stuff and numbers there, is there any way to restore?

Thank you very much for any help..!

[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
no way to restore. they are gone... happened to me one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
What about if you restore to the latest nandroid backup? All the messages you had at that point should be there. I know it's not a cure-all, but even if you lose a few you won't have lost EVERYTHING. Hope it helps. Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
There are numerous threads that discuss this issue. It's happened to me once and many others as well.

As mentioned above, a nandroid backup is one solution. If you search for the other threads, I remember someone mentioning an application that backs up your SMS messages if you have important information that you don't want to lose stored there, doing daily backups is a solution.
[G2 and Desire Z General] iamthechickengod:
I think you are referring to SMSbackup+. Its free and available in the market.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] In_da_buff:
Hi all,

Hopefully this is quick -- i did search several threads but didn't find a solution to this issue.

installed Samsung drivers

I rooted my Epic with noobnls - oneclick 2.5.5

updated PIT and modem with Odin

got to the clockworkmod screen

downloaded ViperROM__FRoZeN__EXT4-RFS_Dual_DK28_4.0.3

to the SD.

Wiped data and cache 3x,

installed Viper zip from the SD - successful.

went to reboot and ......

all i get is a phone symbol ..caution sign....PC symbol (some kind of connection to PC error)

I did a wipe and reinstalled Viper - same thing.

any ideas - I'm hoping this is a simple fix so I don't have break this down to stock and try it all over.

Thanks in advance.

PS- hate samsung and sprint for stalling out on a minor update and leaving this phone in the back closet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
Those symbols mean use odin

I think best thing for u t do is odin to stock and get ota froyo
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] In_da_buff:
yeah - trying to get it back to stock Odin

not sure on why I should do ota froyo since it doesn't exist yet.

plenty of stable ROMs.

it was all good up until the reboot after installing Viper.

then blah.

I'll just keep working on it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
I meant get it on monday
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] In_da_buff:
get it on Monday -- haha.

it's not coming out. another rumor based on nothing. If it was coming out - you would think that one of those douchbag companies would have put something official out - b/c they both taken a lot of crap for the delay. Unless they want it to be a big surprise - but I'm guessing they aren't announcing anything b/c at the last second - they'll pull it again for more "testing" ie adding more bloatware/useless crapps.

i made up my mind -- going to custom froyo instead of stock -

btw - got it back to stock and will try Viper again tonight or tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylusk:
Sprint put it out on their facebook page, their twitter account, and their community forums. 2.2 officially rolls out on 2/21.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/262572#262572
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] In_da_buff:
same rumors about it being released after Christmas - so I'll still take it with a grain of salt - maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.

Again, if it does come out - it is going to be some crap version poked and proded by Samsung and then approved by Sprint missing the good stuff but full of junk - so I'm gonna skip it anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbacon06:
Dude, what are you talking about? There have been multiple confirmed sources that the OTA update is in fact rolling out on Monday.

To address your issue, not to insult you, but when you say you got it back to stock to you mean stock dk28 or stock DI18? The viper rom you chose is only compatible with dk28. But again, no real reason to deal with dk28's bugs when official froyo is right around the corner:)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] In_da_buff:
I don't care how many times Sprint or Samsung say "it's coming soon" - until it actually goes OTA - it doesn't count. They've been jerking people around for 6 months and are already 2 updates behind.

I got it back to DI18 using Odin and just reset the whole thing. I was under the impression that DK28 was pretty stable.

thanks for the insight.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylusk:
This is the first time that sprint has announced a date.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
This. The last the last time we had an "official date" from sprint it was leaked unofficial info that turned out to be wrong. This time, Sprint has put notice up in several places, included the authorized service center news for all of their indirect retailers (non-corporate stores and kiosks). Unless something major happens, we're actually getting it this time.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...ls.jsp?q_package=sku5100371&_requestid=618639

DataPro 2GB for HSPA+/4G Smartphone includes 2GB. Once 2GB is exceeded, an additional 1GB is automatically provided at a rate of $10 for each additional 1GB provided. Unused data usage does not carry over. For HSPA+/4G SmartPhones ONLY.

ATT is selling this type of data plan with the new ATRIX, what kind of impact could this have on us UNLIMITED 'Grandfathered' users that were thinking about buying the phone outright?

if i put my 3G card in, am i gonna get hosed? is ATT going to automatically try and switch my data plan to the 'required' plan for the 4G phone? even though i bought it outright? am i possibly going to have to fight to get the 'GFD' plan back after?

i know its all speculation at this point because the actual phone isnt out yet, but my gut tells me we might not like the answer...
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
I was wondering about the same thing, but I don't think we have to worry right now, I intend to get it then use it and in a month check, should they mess with me, I'll pull the information straight from their website with a datestamp that I printed stating that Grandfathered in gets to keep their plan. It really would be as simple as letting me keep it or I'll take my company off AT&T.
[Atrix 4G General] ecapox:
I was able to "upgrade" to the Atrix and i checked the option that said "I do not want to make changes to my data plan" since i am grandfathered in as truly "unlimited".

I dont expect to see any changes once i put my SIM card in. They relaxed their "grandfather" clause a little recently and im guessing what i experienced is exactly that. before they FORCED you to change your plan. Now you have an option.
[Atrix 4G General] ApplCobbler:
For people with unlimited plans, you can still keep it, it becomes an option on the data plan picker that only someone with an unlimited plan can see. And yes it is 4g ready. And no it doesn't cost any more money.

/thread
[Atrix 4G General] smitty1:
It is not a problem at all.

All you have to do is swap the sim. cards and you are good to go. Your plan does not change at all and AT$T isn't going to penalize you.

They are losing 16% of their customers do to the iphone switch.
[Atrix 4G General] seanfinn:
Yeah it won't be a problem switching from 3g to 4g unlimited ...I recently purchased the inspire all they did was change the code for the plan in the system for me,vi popped my sim card in and have hspa+ unlimited
[Atrix 4G General] AllTheWay:
Trust me you can keep your unlimited data.
[Atrix 4G General] andydumi:
I have a tangential question.

I know going over 2GB adds 1GB for $10 on Data Pro. But what if you exceed the 150mb on the Data lite? Does it auto bump you to 2GB and Data Pro for the month?
