I just hope the Arc or Arc S can take the ICS update smoothly. The internal storage size for the Arc/S have never been impressive anyway. Makes me wonder how are they gonna be able to squeeze ICS in.

try SEUS or PC Companion

my arc s drained the battery really fast. i put on the brightness at very low visibility. turn off wifi. still only last for 6 hours. any suggestions?

do you used firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42???...i'm using this firmware for my Arc...i think my battery not drained so fast...before i'm using this firmware...my battery drained really fast...i have to used juice defender app to solved that problem

i wanna ask Arc sifu...i try install Papago X5 into my Arc...but got a problem....cannot load the map....i try the same file and install into my Galaxy SL...got no problem....but when try install in Arc...this problem occur...damn...what should i do?

i dunno if arc and arc s share the same gingerbread. i heard this is on 2.3.4 something. let me check the firmware.

build number
4.0.1.A.0.266

My Arc S version is 4.0.2.A.0.42.So I think you may try to upgrade your phone version and see whether the problem solve

You have the latest software and apps from sony ericsson. your phone i up to date.

dunno where to get the update for 0.42

Just use SE PC Companion, It will update automatic I think...

User seus or PC companion

very happy SE commit support android 3.0 icecream.

lupa bawak cable

That sounds really serious, u drained the battery from 100% in just 6 hours and without wifi? My phone lasted 2 days 23 hours on my previous charge, but it's with minimal wi-fi, no 3G, some games, some readings, normal sms and phone calls.

all image i took from the phone will be sent automatically to my photbucket etc. FB, twitter notifications also. accu weather check everything.

is it beos i ran everything at one go? should i taskskill some of it?

You should disable auto-sync then. Go to settings -> accounts & sync then untick "Activte auto-sync". Wait, u mentioned wifi turned off and u could still upload stuffs? U must be on 3G then. Try switching to wifi whenever possible.

do i have to turn off the "Background Data Service" as well?

And I think you should turn off facebook in xperia too~

done that already. see how long the battery will stand

I know what you mean, my Arc S was like that the first time I used it. You need to condition the battery the first time around. Use the battery till it's all drained, charge it to full again (don't charge half way and use or use halfway and charge) repeat the charging to 100% and draining to 0% for 5 cycles then the battery would be conditioned. I use my Arc S daily with camera, music on bluetooth, web surfing, calls, sms all with moderate to high use and I can still get a day's juice in between charging. Background data, bluetooth, wifi are all fine turned on, but make sure you disable data when not in use. And oh, I also noticed some improvement when I updated to the latest firmware so I guess that's worth a shot

i see . completely drained yesterday. i leave it on charge it till 100% on midnight. woke up see battery is at 5%. charge again in the office. i normally use camera and surfing. not much games and file transfer all that stuffs. here, they don't have 3g. so everything is on edge. when i bought this arc in malaysia few days back. it was running good up until i install a lot of apps from the market.
