New bits that I noticed in 10 minutes of playing:
New animations are ok, it fades from top and bottom instead of the CRT style of squashing then squeezing. The animations are for on and off too. There a nice little animation when opening an app too.
I couldn't get the 2D panorama to work it keeps telling me I'm sweeping too fast or too slow. 3D worked but not got a 3D TV to view it..
New setup wizard is much nicer than the old one because it works.
Swipe input is pretty cool but I'm faster with the keyboard I'm used to so I don't use it.
@adsada that should work, I have a very similar connector (only it's 4cm end to end) not tested it though. I'm not certain this current FW does USB-otg. I've tested just now and it doesn't want to recognise my input devices or storage devices, so maybe you do need livedock for USB-otg.
I have a dig bick

but if you livedock its not usb-otg (on the go - for people who dont know)

I can't understand though, surely they both do the same thing? how much different can the Livedock be wired to make it work when USB stuff is plugged in but the OTG not?
Another thought I had, I didn't really mind about the new arc s because the improvements are minimal, and it will only lead to the device being more popular. But I do worry that SE may sneakily make some things slower on the old arc, so boost the difference between devices. Or if they found a way to make e.g. the camera start faster they wouldn't add this in future updates because then they would want the difference in speed to remain?

@DarkKrypt Forgive me, but USB-otg is when USB child devices can also act as host devices is it not?
LiveDock does this for sure, but I'm not sure if it's enabled by the current FW (in which case the connector I have and adsada's cable should both work, mine doesn't) or if it's enabled by the LiveDock's connectivity or a combination of both.
I certainly can't get my connector to work with peripheral input or storage devices.

Hi guys i'm from Bangladesh. Does anyone here(from Bangladesh) is stuck with the old firmware(2.3.3....build number 3.0.1....) and not even able to updat to softare version 4.0......(with Xloud feature)? I'm having this issue and PC companion and OTA both say that i'm on the latest firmware version.SE site says that it released in Bangladesh(as in when u select the location as Bangladesh). Sigh. Any advice guys. Note: I do not want to root my device and have no intention of voiding my warranty.) |

That's a shame, do you have a generic phone, or one with branding from an operator? The only thing I can suggest is that you keep checking, but I guess you're doing that anyway.

I have just bought myself the Arc this week. Midnight blue. I have upgraded to the latest firmware and have downloaded some apps too, including beatiful wigets for the snazzy weather app. Can anyone advise on the must have thing to have on my brand new arc? | |
