Members on XDA are reporting that the battery drain issue on the newest firmware is down to Automatic network searching consuming power. Go into Wireless Networks, go to Mobile Networks, Network Operators and set this an manual as opposed to Auto.
I've done this and it appears at the moment to increase my idle battery performance. |

Would you say it's only a minimal improvement??

I compared arc with c905 in photo quality
Arc handles low light better i gives brighter photos without flash when compared to darker c905 photos.
But c905 kicks the ass and goes miles away in terms of details. C905 manages to pull plenty of deatails against arc.. Ill show comparison shots soon. I really disappointed and looking for a better cybershot phone in android... |

the sensor in the arc is smaller than on the c905 so picture quality will be worse I'm afraid. I find the photos that the Arc produces are more than acceptable in good lightning conditions but there is way too much edge sharpening and compression going on in my opionon.
On a side note I can now use my PC bluetooth keyboard with my phone! APP is called BlueKeyboard JP. Fantastic to sit on the couch and browse the web, play videos from the phone. The best video player I have found is Diceplayer. This is the only media player app on the market I could find that takes full advtantage of Arc's hardware acceleration. Hard acceleration means high quality videos and very long battery life! Shame about the chipset limit of h264 high@3.1 as most HD content downloaded from the web these days is high @4.1 or 5.1 |

The Arc's camera is not that bad! It still produces nice photos just not the best photos of a camera phone - that accolade current goes to the SGS2. |

Just today compared SGSII - Arc displays.
SGSII has more crisp colours but looks fake and pixelated. The only advantage is blacks....

After using the SGS2 I actually prefer the display on the Arc - better resolution and it doesn't look awful when on low power mode. |

Is it just me or other facing this problem ?
I'm using the default SE Home Launcher, and I tried to use Go Launcher but I just went back coz I didn't have a time to re-arrange all the widgets again.. and now I feel lazy to do the move...
any way, I'm facing a problem regarding the menu ( app's menu ), I use the custom sorting to customize it as I want, I like to keep the stuff I don't use in the last page and games/fun/time wasting stuff in the page just before that, with every thing else in the first pages to have it quick and fast...
the problem is every time I restart the phone all customization are gone, and I see 2 - 3 new pages with only 2 or 3 apps per page and all my customization is gone...
the problem is that this is happening every time I do a restart !!

Nope the one before it... I didn't update yet as I want to keep the root, and there's no OTA yet for Generic firmware...
