@doministry

There are many backup apps in the Market... Try this My Backup (Pro version too)


Thanks much, the question is - did you check it out?
How does it really work?


Posted by Bonovox
Has anyone noticed this?? Take the battery out and you can actually flex the Arc's body at the bottom. Worrying. The plastic body flexes

@doministry

Sorry I have not used it...

@Bonovox

Doubt anyone would try to do that, to be fair

Posted by Bonovox
Yes,but the plastic moves & my battery door is now creaking like the cutty sark

Posted by SKIBBE
@Bonovox that's exactly what swedroid did in their review(url earlier in this thread) and the Arc is the only one that is "bendable" due to it's plastic design.

Posted by SE-Naz
If back squeeks while on...

Then put a piece of folded paper on the battery, then put cover back on ... that is what I use to do in my old Nokia phones...

Noise gone

Posted by Bonovox
Yep,think maybe I should have got the Neo afterall Bit worrying if you do sit down with it in your pocket @SE-Naz I have tried a tiny piece of blue tack which works but on a £419 device I should not be doing that it should be rock solid

His "love affair" with the Arc has started to wear-off...

I knew it.

Posted by Bonovox
I am swapping it for the Neo. Perfect phone in terms of performance the Arc but I worry about it's longevity

Posted by dibdin
@Bonovox I can't believe your jumping ship after all the good things you said about the Arc. Whos to say you would be any happier with the Neo.

Yes,but the Neo is not too skinny I knew I should have gone for that in the first place. It won't be so snappable I love the Arc it's perfect in terms of performance & quality except for the plastics imo And I don't give a stuff to anyone who says I told you so

Posted by Tsepz_GP
that was short lived

You can be sure Tony Ericsson will or whatever his bloody name is lol.

Posted by Bonovox
And I am bothered about that twit I should have waited that's all I am saying. The Arc is great but I really put my trust in in the hope that the plastics would be solid but it is not. I am not paying that amount of money for something that could easily snap or break in one way or another. And for the people who do say I told you so I really don't care I will go for something a little more unbreakable

Why would that bother you ? You do not seem to keep any phone longer than 2 month anyway.

I wish the Xperia Pro was out now cos that would be my ultimate choice

Bootloader unlocking for new Xperia phones available in “upcoming weeks”

Now that the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc and Xperia PLAY phones are released, some will now turn attention to custom ROMs and getting the bootloader unlocked. In SE’s original announcement, no timeline was given, however developer Karl-Johan Dahlström followed up in the comments section recently and said that they hope to have the bootloader site “up and running in the upcoming weeks.”

The website will be used to unlock the bootloader by retrieving an unlock bootloader key once you’ve entered the IMEI number of your handset. This key will then be used in Fastboot where the actual unlock sequence will be performed. SE is promising more detailed instructions later and we’ll keep you posted once it’s up and running.

Battery is excellant on the arc and i would recommend the gingerbread keyboard that can be downloaded off the market...... only issue im having now is using active sync with my hotmail.... that would make my phone perfect


Posted by Bonovox
Nope,battery is poor imo. I had 15% of my battery go down whilst I went for a shower for ten mins!! Nothing was running. After using it extensively throughout the day I had to charge it TWICE!! Goodnight

Don't mind Bono's post. He's just convincing himself of getting rid of the Arc.
Just enjoy your purchased.

Guys I have the question:

How to make Gmail store emails for offline?
Every time I go there it reloads data and when I'm offline nothing is there.

This so called reality display not using much battery was a lie. Looking at battery useage and display shows the highest usage. When SE showed us the display only using 6% it was a lie.



No it wasn't, but they misrepresent it or the guy know nothing !!

the fact that the display device was on standby ( with screen off ) for a long time made all those numbers on the video, as you know, that battery usage meter does not show real time battery use, but an overall battery use since last reboot...

so just try it your self, reboot the phone before you sleep and leave it with out using ( the screen has to be off all the time )... and when you wake up see the battery meter thing...
then repeat the same test again ( reboot the phone ) but with always on screen ( or at least most of the time ) and for the same amount of time when you tested first when sleeping... and then see the battery meter again and you will see that in the first time the display percentage of using the battery was very low ( coz it didn't work ) and in the second it will eat too much coz it was mostly on !

hi guys, just a quick question as this is my first android phone
do i need to restart the phone every time i install something new?
restart time is really slow hehe


Posted by mallaccra
in general, android compare to other os has better algorithm in managing tasks/processes, thus saving the batt. for a batt to drain 15% within 10 mins during idle is bad and i would say it's a hardware issue.....ask for a new batt

Posted by Bonovox

How comes I cannot find this deal on their website?

Posted by northmonkey
Why are people sending their Arc's back? Build quality is ok from the reviews I have read!

I dont understand it either. Most of the reviews I have read said that the build quality is generally good, apart from the odd review that stated it could be better. I know its not the best build quality in the world, but what did peoole expect when buying this phone?? To me, the build quality feel of this device is everything that I expected it to be.

Posted by HxH
ppl seems flavor of DHD build quality

Posted by dibdin
I can compromise the with build quality of the Arc because of the quality screen and design.

When SGS2 and that dual core htc come out, nobody's going to buy Arc for more than 400€. It's not worth any more:( Still waiting for 2011 scefification phone from SE, hepe they will announce something soon.

Posted by Lunion
I am loving my Arc experience. The build quality is totally fine, it feels strong and sturdy in the hand
