i want to root using this method - gingerbreak without unlocking bootloader,
still blur with this usb debugging - do i need to follow this step? > http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/04/16/debra...a-arc-tutorial/

currently at McD sunway pyramid - free P1 zone - pretty fast..

i didnt even bother about the usb debug ..
i just download the apk file form xda .. move to my phone .
follow the instruction in xda beside usb debug ..
and done ..

Can anyone who hav oledi rooted their phone share the trackid.apk? I terdelete mine huhu..

Its in system/app tho

so conclution
1. root will not void the warranty
2. root will help you to uninstall the unwanted application
3. root will help you gain access to other country application

any other benefit?
any one know you will get "proxy" setting after root? now my wifi cant connect in company's wifi because of no proxy....

i am using this method with 1.2 but it doesn't work....i max out at 30 mins....giving up

Well, the thing is, active usage is what really drains the battery. Helping save battery in idle mode, although nice, isn't really that a big deal, right?

I mean, look at my DHD, notorious for having bad battery life. But I took out my sim card and left it idle since Monday, and this morning it still has about 60 or 70% battery. So idle mode shouldn't consume much battery in the first place.

Added on May 5, 2011, 12:26 pmBeen using my Arc for a few days now, no flickering.

How come some users are reporting screen flickering? It's odd.

yup at least there is no more Power Shock like from 75% to 16%

good thing the car charger is provided...else

It is noticeable if brightness is set to around 50% or below AND when you're in a room which is not very bright (single fluorescent light) AND when the screen is displaying mostly white content (e.g., Facebook)

Set the brightness to about 70% or more, and it won't be that bad.

3rd root attempt.

If still fail, you might need to reformat your SD card and try again.

1. Backup all your SD card data to your laptop/PC and reformat.
2. Run Gingerbreak
3. Once rooted, transfer back your backup file from PC to your SD card.

Finally I rooted my Arc...

Here is list of apps which you can freez using Titanium Backup

android live wallpapers

Thanks Bro..

only freeze? not uninstall?

Always try to freez the app first before attempting to remove the factory installed app, unless you know what are you doing.

What is the best keyboard software for arc?

If u notice on battery use, Cell standby & phone idle could add up to as much as 40% sometimes! That's why when the phone is in idle (with sim inside), it will help to conserve the battery. Instead of dropping 1-2% per hour, it will drop maybe 2-3% only at night while we r sleeping & that make a difference.

Still haven't decide whether I should get this giant or wait for its little brother: Xperia Neo (schedule on July)... Difference about RM500.

Tried. It still won't work lol. Does the program automatically unmount the sdcard on first pressing root?? I am on a Kingston 16gb card btw.

1st time attempt root...waiting it reboot...(.the suspense like waiting xm result huhu)
