Yup no harm trying as long as I can have a better battery life

I'm having a similiar problem but i didn't root my phone. I transferred all possible games/applications to the SD card and most of the icons are missing EVEN after i restart my phone. Is this some kinda bug too? I could find the apps using the default google search and it could be executed.

I still can execute them. maybe your apps are corrupted? try reinstalling

I can execute them as well, just that the icons are missing after i move them to the SD card.

Have you checked the last page of your homescreen?

1. full charge 8hour - when the phone is on or off? when there s zero in batt?

After 3 days fully used.. Data on, gps on, always online, always take pictures, several video taking, often on the wifi router.. The android become unstable and need a restart.. But I feel satisfy.

finally get my arc set..hahaha..pls add me to the list~now waiting for case from derrickmoo from wednesday~

Hi Benny888, I have 1 suggestion. You could include the Wifi restriction for the ARC in the first thread so that everyone is inform on this limitation.

What method did you use to transfer apps to SD ?

The best way is still to do it manually : Settings/Applications/Mamangae Applications : Select the app you need and choose move to SD

There are many apps in market which allows you do that too but I find the best so far is app 2 SD by Sam Lu. Many other such similar apps can move many apps to sd but I find it creates instability and issues of apps failing to appear in menu. One disadvantage in using Sam Lu app is it has a strict built in control and many old apps cannot be moved to SD while other apps 2SD apps can do it

Yeah, I did it manually through Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications. I didn't use any 3rd party apps. The only other thing is I created a folder in one of the screen and put most of my games shortcut there and the icons are still there.

Read from some forum that this would happen as when the phone starts, before the SD card is mounted, it'll load the applications first, missing out most of the apps that are on the cards. Too bad there's no 'Refresh' function at the home apps screen.

if i'm not mistaken.. it's a common bug in android.. my 2 android phones having similar problem..
it's because of when the phone restart/reboot.. apps in sdcard are loaded after the phone finish loading everything in internal memory..
same reason why widget cannot be put in sdcard..

Which Android version?

It is only a bug in Android 2.1 and below NOT Android 2.2. All the apps which I moved to SD is always display in menu in ALL my Android phones I have used - no such issues at all. You just need to check what apps you are moving to the SD card - system apps and widgets must always stay in phone memory.
I do not put my apps in folders , so I cannot comment whether this could be the cause of it not appearing. One also need to check the source of the apps - if using dubious/ahem sources which are cracked these could be another problematic source of it

how to download games?im very2 new~noob
thnx

go to market > game

Make sure you're connected to your wireless network though. If not you're gonna have to download it via PC and then transfer the apk files to your phone.

dud u know that ur phone can download free hd games from gameloft...
its offer games like real foorbal 11, asphalt 5 n else

both my phones are 2.2..
the bug only in folder.. not main menu/apps drawer..

now i'm using go launcher folder.. no missing icons issue..
but the folders are too 'iphone-ish'..
