everytime i end a application or exit from browser. the 4 icons in the homescreen (bottom part) reload like rebooting the phone. example: they turned into boxes then only icons. like when you reboot your phone. my checked my ram and it states i got 55mb left.
*

disable the data plan..

go to settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > data enabled (untick)

with this, ur data plan will b disabled..

btw, ppl shud update to 2.3.3, it gives a huge improvement compared to previous 2.3.2..

btw, for those who r using mobo player, does it play almost all formats n without any issues? im using vplayer now n it plays most of the formats without any issues..

u nid to use flashtool to revert back to .181, so read carefully how to do it b4 proceed..

Mine is the same setup as yours...called up SE support,they're not sure when OTA will be available.
So ended up doing as what xda developers tutorial...flashed to generic global rom 181, rooted using Gingerbreak (took almost 10 mis) then used OTA to upgrade to 2.3.3...it worked! Now mine is 2.3.3 rooted,boot loader locked.

using wifi or data ?
i using the same rom as urs ..
but when i press for software updated .. it keep telling me that cant connect to network ...

I think it doesn't have speed dialing..Personally I use Go SMS,Go Contacts and Go Dialer..the latter has speed dial..as for the top button, I hardly use it anymore coz I find Screen Off and Lock app very useful,u can hv it on the notification bar, so slide it down and turn off screen. Also try Quick Settings app...very useful. Coming from Iphone 4 I have only one thing to say about the Arc...SUPERB! rclxms.gif
*
yeah im using go launcher too .. for me i think go launcher is best for arc .. and smooth ..
app drawer is sexy with it .. i tried launcher pro and adw , their drawer is ugly ...

by the way thanks for the sharing of 'Quick Setting' its what im looking for rclxms.gif
* stay in notification area
* dont need to be a running app
* dun eat ram
* safe so much battery ( i havent figure this out .. but someone mention in the app comment ) rclxms.gif

How hot can we really go for our batteries? I was listening to FM radio and playing angry birds and the battery got to 41℃ and I stop playing lol. It totally freak me out.

41 is normal ..
i remember yesterday i saw sgs2 thread .. someone post the heat test photo between feel model ...
sgs2 is above 42 .. they also say normal

at the same time ... some one post that when they use papago .. sgs2 get extreme hot too and almost hurt their nose sweat.gif

I don't get it. Why the stock is crap? They should give a proper apps which can be use to do the basic things. Phone and Messaging is the most basic thing and they can't even do it right! This is a smartphone but it is dumb at the beginning.
*
for me .. this is android .. they wont bother to make it the best .. because their marketing strategy is to give a lot of power for the programmer to do it for them free .. and those programmer will be their free promoter to promote their product for them ..

i was on rooted 2.3.2 and cut off a lot of unwanted apps..... found that i couldn't do OTA to 2.3.3.... so did flashtool based on the generic firmware in XDA forum. didn't do a wipe data and it caused my phone to hang. i decided to reflash with wipe data now... root it with gingerbreak and OTA to 2.3.3. Success! i find that some stock apps are missing e.g. camera. so i off/on my phone and most of stock app returned (...weird). i find that i can't get GO Contacts/Messaging to work and AppInstaller is missing tongue.gif

anyone encountered this issue?
