Hi everyone! I just bought my Arc a few days ago, and this is my first Android device, so I got a question, that is, what's the benefits of rooting our device? For an example?
Hi !
Totally rooting your phone gives you permission to Read/Write the system files ! Which this include many tweaks !
Like : first of all having Custom ROMs ... or for example louder your phone speaker sound ... there are many apps need root access to be working ...
Thanks for your answer, can you tell me how is the simplest way to root my phone? |

Oh dear  why do SE ALWAYS end up making bad build material decisions? This cracking issue reminds me of the W850 dpad, S500/W580 keypad, and X1 corners cracks, hope they fix this soon or its going to be a huge problem one of which they realy cant afford at this point.
They quite slow learning somehow about good material in phone!
the knowhow for that is probably still in sweden

Might be a stupid question, but can the micro usb port on the arc, be used for anything else besides charging and data transfer? such as accessories, like the old SE fast port. What kind of things? Like it'd be cool if you could connect a usb stick into it via an adaptor...

Hey gang.
Got some questions that I'm hoping you can answer. These may not be specific to the Arc vs Android as a platform but hoping you will all be able to help out, please.
Android
- when you get a link in an email, say an invite/notification that you've been added to: LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter and you click it ... does this automatically open the application if installed?
(I'm hoping applications do share data due to the core system API's).
- Are notifications prevalent when using applications? IE do you get a simplistic SMS icon & LED when received without a pop-up IN-YOUR-FACE SMS?
(I'm used to BlackBerry where I get an SMS the LED, sound/vibrate (selectable/editable) will notify me).
- More importantly if the Arc is locked and you get an SMS does the Name/Number/actual text get displayed on the LOCK screen or when you Unlock it?
(I have some serious privacy issues with the iPhone 4 ... I'm just a private person when it comes to my communication; nothing to hide I just hate nosey ppl that don't ask to view my information. I'm not confident that iOS5 will change this for the better).
Arc
- Looks like the pics are pure quality - traditionally SonyEricsson.
- Is the camera button easy to accidentally press when not wanting to engage it?
- Has anyone over 5ft dropped their Arc on carpet/concrete and not have to worry about it working?
Thanks guys ...

You get a pop up asking what do you want to do, whether to open it with the app, with the default browser, etc. You can set an app by default.

You get notifications shown in the status bar. Also the phone vibrates and a led blinks. No pop ups in your face.

And great speed! I have never taken as much photos, my record is 35 photos in 60 seconds
- Is the camera button easy to accidentally press when not wanting to engage it?
No you have to perform a hard press (a couple of seconds) to launch the camera
- Has anyone over 5ft dropped their Arc on carpet/concrete and not have to worry about it working?
My wife did , twice! Now I've scratches on the top angles, but nothing went wrong. Arc didn't even shut down or reboot.
Thanks guys ...

Just bought an Arc. Lovely piece
Bought a Misty Silver in Sweden on www.netonnet.se. Noticed that it was German instructions in the box. It also had just 8 GB memory card and a car-charger (AN401+USB-cable) instead of a HDMI-cable. Contacted them and they would send me a HDMI-cable. I already have a 16 GB card so...
Some questions...
1) What app to use for Exchange sync? I had Moxier in my X10.
2) How do I get the Gmail to be divided in inbox and preview in landscape mode? Or is it just the other mail-app that can do that?
Cheers,
Mange
