@DarkKrypt - main Menu > Settings > Applications > manage Applications > All > Sony Ericsson Home Screen > Clear Data
This will not delete anything but will reset the homescreen to its default appearance (ie: widgets shortcuts etc) and likely resolve this issue. |

I just bought an Arc after 1 year with x10. The design is so kool, and it 's very smooth. But sometimes when I press the power button to unlock the screen, the screen doesn't work,it still black, just 2 leds between 3 physical buttons are on. I tried to flash another rom such as 4.0.1.a.283( it 's 4.0.1.a.42 when I bought), but nothing was better. Any one here has the same problem, please help me. |

@adsada
Where did you look for apps that you could uninstall?
I was running root with my x10, adw launcher but now they just are uninstalled but payed for in my market :S
would be nice to speed up my arc again and have a clean nice looking desktop again.
i am about to do a factory reset anyway, it's anying slow now

yeah root it as well as doing a factory reset. It's pretty painless if you download a app to backup your apps there is also one which backs up your sms conversations, and your contacts/numbers etc. then just restore on the fresh install. I did it both for my 6th month old arc and it's great again.

I just ordered 6 cables also from DealExtreme ( not adapters, cables... SKU 67186 )...
I already have one adapter but I used too several times and know it became loosy. and my cousin already wants the one with the cable...
I use it mainly for reading flash memory ( USB flash ) not for mouse or keyboard...

Hi everyone,
a rushed post,,, so will search later!
I have a crack on my Arc on the top black body secton where the light sensor is.
I think it is becoming well documented on the net, but have any Esato members had this problem?
If so, what did you do about it? Replacement with new or refurbished? Repaired?

My friend got the Midnight Blue version after 5months, those cracks appeared, and he's waiting for a new front cover that is used in Arc S, or atleast a Reinforced version than the previous one that SE Warranty provides which also suffers from those cracks after 2-3months
and I also read somewhere in SE Support forum that they will replace it under warranty, well it will also depends on your location though, if they got the memo already.
Only Midnight Blue version of Arc suffers this cracks, until now I haven't read any Arc S users reporting crack problems.

Hey ofiaich, how you doing?
I think initially it was only midnight blue which had the cracks but my silver has now cracked, albeit in a different place.
As mhyke says, service centres will probably do the fix for you but they have about a 1 week turnaround time. I've thought about buying an OEM housing from somewhere like cnn.cn and taking it to my local independent mobile stall and getting them to change it up, more expensive but faster and without the whole returns process hassle.
OT: I owe you a PM. I'm rubbish I know but I've just got back to the UK for Christmas so as you can imagine I've been very busy.
I have a dig bick

Hi mhyke and Ricky D!
Thanks for your replies! I am insured with Vodafone so they say they can send it away for repair but if S-E will not do, then they will give me a refurbished handset as a replacement. They also say there is a one year manfacturers warranty.
The Vodafone store also went on about whether it was a recognised fault or nor, even though I said there wre many reported cases of this on the internet!
@Ricky D! No hurries for PM replies! Plenty of time before I go to China! Hope you are having a good Christmas in the UK!

I noticed today that mine has also developed a hairline crack around the light sensor. Too small to see unless under direct light so I'm going to leave it unless it gets worse.
Bit of a pain thou! |

Hi rickster2kuk
Which network are you with, or did you buy sim free?
Vodafone says if it is not a recognised S-E problem for the Arc, then they won't do much about it.
