Im having my first major frustration with the Arc and that is, that although it is connected to my Wlan it doesnt work!
Has anybody any idea on how to resolve this?
The IPhone and other devices work perfectly on the same signal! |

remove the network ( if saved ) and remove it's saved passkey ( if it has one )... then connect again... this is a known problem that happens not only to phones.. I had the same issue with my laptop once and my phone also.. I think it might be related to the router...
Some times the router insist on giving a specific device a bad IP ( starts with 169 for example ) which means the device is not in the network... reconnecting does not resolve the problem but resetting the settings on the device ( by deleting the settings ) will in most cases I see resolve the problem...

Now I'm asking u, when u in a restaurant do the waitress give u the whole menu instead of your specific kind of order when u don't say the word "ONLY"???
It's okay talking about other phones just for comparison, but speaking nonsense and repeat it again again and again is kind of annoying............

Late reply. YES when I goto a restaurant and don't say the word "ONLY" when referring to whats on the menu the waitress/waiter does give me whats on the menu (specials first or meal of the day) / irregardless of the menu in front of someone. THAT my friend is just good service - asking for their opinion on choice = only. What cheap ass restaurants do you goto with such poor service?!
FACT is comparison of other devices is GOOD for everyone; going on about the same thing again & again is annoying. Oddly enough nobody stated that about complaining for the poster they where annoyed at talking about HTC. Problem is nobody quoted that happening just that they hated him talking about the HTC models.

Yeah, think I've seen that in a video, previews outlook style whilst in landscape...
Only managed to see and feel a dummy model today but must say I'm impressed with the design, the phone is thin and feels smaller than I thought it would.
Really wanting this as my next handset now...
Wanna have a proper play with one... |

My Arc works superb with WiFi.
BUT MY REMARK:
Some networks - I have no idea why!!! - work with one device and not with others.
Why? I experienced this few times when I was not able to connect with my devices but my friends could do it. It also happened the other way around.
So it may be just THIS network.

Well 6th day and I'm very happy.
Battery became "normal" in usage too.

That would be a real bummer as Im having quite a small data contract.
Removed my network, resynced and now it doesnt even connect anymore!!!!
A nuisance, especially as the browser experience is just overwhelming, almost as fun as with the Ipad!
Also camera, I dont know what some guys expect but I think it is awesome (will upload some pics later)
Yes true, there might be other good phone cams or even better ones, but that doesnt make this one a bad one, on the contrary, for the first time Im motivated to just point and shoot because itīs that fast and the immediate result is great (coming from an IPhone 3gs and well, that is a big difference).
Another great thing, not to be underestimated in a telephone, call quality us the best Iīve had so far!!!
Battery life sucks though! But of course that might be due to my playing with it 24/7!
Anyone knows some great games? Have to fly soon and need something to kill time (no angry birds pls!!:-)

Try Gamelofts "Let's golf 2"
A beautiful 3D game, that's runs perfect on the DHD. As the Arc is half year newer it would run better on the Arc |

I think Arc is very stable.
I just control Apps open in the background, there's a nice control for that in Menu.
I'm satisfied.
And I also think  made a very good job on UI.
Looks miles better than stock Android and I like it more than HTC Sense.
And SPB doesn't match this anymore. Just saw MobileReview review of it.

On one Arc review I've read that the new UX feels more Vanilla than those of Nexus S. |
