You can directly access through "PlayNow" store. Mostly are paid apps.

Looks like the protective metal bumpers I put on my Tamiya last time. The price just offsets all that beauty...

By the way could someone tell me where exactly I should look in the *#*#7378423#*#* option to match with the serial-number on the box to see if it was an original SE distributed by Dynamics?

The IMEI can be displayed on handsets by dialling *#06#. Make sure IMEI number match each other.

hi, Xperia arc user here also.. just updated my phone and recieved 3d camera application. still doesn't know what it does actually.

It enables you to shoot 3D images on the 2D camera using 3D sweep panorama function.
But you can’t play the images back in 3D on the phone, will display 3D effect using 3D TV or 3D monitor.

Why your software version is 2.11.11.21? Should be version 2.11.10.7.
Just want to confirm, your computer access to internet connection during upgrading?
QUOTE
Update Service is an online application and needs access to the Internet when in use. The application is used for all the supported devices, whereas you only need to install the application once. Also, you never need to update the application. Every time you start the Update Service from your computer, the application accesses the Internet, checks for updates and installs available updates.

Update firmware by using SEUS or PC companion will not lose your data in the phone.
I never encountered data loses using both method. But for play safe, I still backup my data before update firmware.

Sorry, shah_ho_nam2. I just check mine, the SEUS version is 2.11.11.21.

I tried PC Companion, currently it shown "Phone software update information currently not accessible". I think you need try next time.

i try install papago x5 but it failed to copy some file when i tranfer the file..when the transfer is success..i try open the application but always pop up a message error to force close that app...i try using sygic aura but also failed when try to open the apps...

what should i do and right apps for gps to install in my arc?
*
My firmware version is 4.0.2.A.0.42 too. I'm able use Papago X5 with no problem.
Might your stock firmware corrupted or Papago X5 files corrupted.
You can try to repair your firmawre by using SEUS. Before repair, backup your phone data first in case something go wrong during repair process.
If you need new link for Papago X5 ( tongue.gif version), please PM me.

QUOTE(clutch31 @ Nov 23 2011, 12:11 PM)
Ok I'm assuming it's some kind of software not unlike PC Companion. Where to get it? Googling SEUS brings me to some SE phone catalogue and a bunch of Dr Seuss websites.

You can download SEUS from SE website:-

Is that for X1 only or can it be used for Arc as well?
One more question in general: Will SEUS wipe the phone clean after the update? Must I backup all my stuff and then reinstall everything after the update?

I was using HTC previously and their FOTA was really, really easy.
*
Can use for Arc too.

No. SEUS or PC Companion will not wipe the phone data. But for play safe, better backup.

is your papago on free or paid version?

QUOTE(metfan @ Nov 28 2011, 11:31 AM)
Guys,
Planning on buying Arc S.
So how do I differ Arc S and 'normal' Arc?
Any way to check?
Worry got con paying extra hundreds for 'normal' Arc.

Any help appreciated bro.
*
The physical look exactly same, can't differentiate.

The colour can give some clues, but not 100% correct. May be the seller change the chassis.
For Xperia Arc, available colour are "Midnight Blue" & "Misty Silver".
For Xperia Arc S, total 5 colour for selection, "Midnight Blue", "Misty Silver", "Pure White", "Gloss Black" & "Sakura Pink".

Another way is check the model number of Xperia Arc/Arc S.
Go to Setting --> About phone --> Model number
For Xperia Arc, model number is LT15i or LT15a.
For Xperia Arc S, model number is LT18i or LT18a.

If you go for ori set, make sure phone IMEI number match with box IMEI number. If the box printed with Arc S model and IMEI number match with phone IMEI number, then phone model is Xperia Arc S.
For Ap set, sometimes IMEI number different each other. So can't use this method.
Method to check phone IMEI number is dial *#06#.

If you worry been cheated, better go to Sony Ericsson retailers, but they sell ori set only.

At "Write message" box, touch and hold 1-2 sec. It pop up a window for selection, pick "Input method". Then select "Chinese keyboard" at "Select input method" window. Make sure change EN to CN at bottom of keyboard for Chinese input.

You need a "file manager" app to browse your SD card, "file manager" app can get free from Market. After install "file manager", use the program and able to see "PAPAGO_X5SEA_0806_WWEMarket.apk" in SD card. Just click the file and it install automatically. Now Papago X5 should be able to use, but is trial version, will ask an activation code.

New xperia arc LT15i user reporting.

I bought the thorus set from a forumer, i want to know do i need to register the warranty  online?

I have updated the firmware to 4.0.2.A.0.42 Android 2.3.4, my phone LED will turn green when the battery charge reaches 90%, it will keep charging until 100% if i leave the charges on. Is there any problem with my phone?

About the case, could u recommend any good soft case? I got a cheap silicon case but it peels off the side of the screen protector.
*
You don't need register online, just have to present the warranty card during warranty claim.

Your phone is OK. The LED will turn to green when charge to 90% and can continue charge until 100%, then will stop charge after full.


QUOTE(pityboi @ Dec 16 2011, 11:08 AM)
Yeah~ Thx.. I get it..

ystday i just get this arc S, then i charge until this morning (ard 8hours), when i switch on my phone, it only 96% ?? Why not is 100%??
*
Normally, new battery will take few charge cycle to reach optimum performance. It will consume more battery during fresh boot from power off. Phone still drain some battery for internal clock thingy although power off and plus battery will discharge itself when not in-charge. So, is normal for phone not reach 100% when turn on.

Do u guys notice the app running on background call "Play on Device"? Its sucking a lot of data. What is the app for? I have to manually go to manage application to stop it every few hours. Advanced task killer wouldn't kill it. How could I permanently stop it from running?
*
"Play on Device" is app for DLNA.

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is tool to enable sharing of digital media between consumer devices such as computers, printers, cameras, hand phones, and other multimedia devices.
If you have LCD with DLNA certified or PlayStation 3, you can directly share photos, music and video between both devices (phone and LCD/PS3) through WIFI.

It's a stock app and can't uninstall it unless you root your phone.

No unless you turn on "share content" under "connected devices". It just running background and allow faster load the app when in use.
