benny... how ar? is there anyway can root the arc or not? i want to buy the spb very much... something good like this.. i want to buy original.. smile.gif
Absolute system root tool v1.6.5 works on rooting the arc.

Trying out SPB for 2 days now. so far it's a bit lagged. Overall, it's great!

p.s - i used Droidwall to block Market

just wanna know why u guys wanna get 32gb memory for?
unless u like to take movies and pics a lot then ok la. otherwise i think 16gb is more than enuff for arc.

Android needs internal memory to run. arc only has 320mb. Not all apps are movable to HD, and even if the apps/games are movable, a portion of it is still left on internal memory.

I've installed lots of stuff on mine. HD games, apps, etc etc. now left with only 40mb internal memory. i will soon run out of internal memory if i installed another 4 HD game.

I'm using a 16gb memory card by the way and still have 9gb to go.

Thx bro. Will ask them tomoro.

your welcome
better check your device first before going over. The microsd card is already placed in the phone.
Just check the memory slot if there is a card sitting there. It's next to your sim card slot.
If really dun have, then go over to the shop and ask for it.

8gb microsd memory cost around rm50

Missing apps just to name a few.
Papago X5, Car Locator, app 2 sd, astro file manager. droidwall. winamp.

The HD games are the culprit in reducing internal memory space.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1657983&hl=

It's off the shelf price on the thread. pm him to get a better price. The best part of this seller is: it's ori, with receipt, with warranty and free poslaju.
for my second ARC, I just bought another 16gb from him 1 day back and received it today. Damn fast.

Anybody knows how to turn off the alarm when it rings without going in to the menu settings?

Added on April 20, 2011, 1:19 amJust to share bout battery life.

I tried this on 3 of my ARC and seems to work.
Turn off media server.
Settings>Applications>Running services>
go to the "ALL" tab
Select "Media Server" from the list
Click on "Force Stop"

It seems like my ARC's have better battery life now.

matte sp is the anti finger print type ?

Dun simply stop ler. some apps are needed by the phone to work properly.
Just stop the ones that have little use. Just Google the app to see the function of it before you stop it.
You only need to stop the "running process". The rest in the "all" folder are not running, so no need to stop.
For me, i only stop two. media server and setup guide.

Matte SP is the anti finger print type.
It will reduce screen quality by 3% the most. Not to worry, since our ARC is Bravia engine, still better than Iphone display. rclxm9.gif
A small price to pay compared to the messy oily surface and finger getting jam on the screen while scrolling. rofl. biggrin.gif

Auto Brightness. There is a sensor somewhere on the arc that adjust the light at different angles and such.
See the comparison below.
Arc vs Iphone vs Galaxy

For me, loosing a bit of quality by using matte is worth it.
simply because i do not want to see my friends "ear oil" chop on my screen when he borrows my phone to make a call. yucks!

another plus about matte is that your fingers dun get stuck to the screen while using it.
Just my point of view.

This is the status by UPS... Waiting for them to deliver to me now.. smile.gif

Back to the Matte SP.. personally... those not so exp matte SP will reduce the clarity of the screen and in a same time it will give u those blurish effect which i think will spoil the clarity and the colorful screen.

Dun forget to fast fast poslaju le. I wanna take my phone and casing to langkawi this weekend.

for image lag,
Since I changed mem card. no problems. The one that comes with the phone is class 2. I changed mine to class 4 16gb and no issues so far for video lag.

For changing sd cards.
I've done it (copy to pc then pc to new mem card) for 3 of my arcs, no issues. Just remember to format the new card before anything else.

For Gps Software.
Forget about google and get Papago X5 for android. It's much much much better. Free one is available but I can't discuss it here due to forum rules.

For pre-applied SP.
I'm gonna give SE a call today to find out the main purpose of the SP. Then only will decide if I wanna remove it or keep it.

For home button menu light.
The lights are always there. you just can't see it during the day, but when it's dark, you see the nice looking white lights at the side of the buttons.
