Those with unifi, can I ask for your kindness to upload your firmware files? Its in your seus folder somewhere.. I wanna make a ftf file as mine is bootloader unlocked, so need to update it manually through flashtool. Thanks

thanks ricstc.... that works but how about actually removing all the jpeg files in /system/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers? i looked at the jpeg files and it has "read only" permission. how do i change the file/directory permission to "read/write" so i can delete them?

*EDIT*
i just found out that i need to remount the file system as "read-write" in order to have delete permission. pls recommend any tools in market that will help me do this? thanks!
*
to eit any files on /system requires u to hav root access... for now there is no root available for locked bootloaders..

I got mine last month in SG for SGD 40.  There are some drawbacks, it may touch the buttons when it's closed and can cause the screen to be ON again without knowing.  Must manually curve the cover to ensure it doesn't touches the buttons.  Next, the camera button can be difficult to press with the casing.  Otherwise it's a very classy casing for ARC.
*
oh ok.thanks for the advice.yeah the case its very slim and classy.dont mind the camera button as I use touch screen.

update using flash tool, learn more about it.but you need to depend on people though asthe files can only be provided by people with locked bootloader.like my case, I'm using o2 rom pre rooted by using people who uploaded the files on the internet.I'm on unlocked bootloader so I can't use seus

People change this phone to other phone because of its single core..other than that I can say its a good phone... Its design is still the best imo..

guys,
how do we ensure that we are not charged by Maxis for data use i.e. Android Market downloads, Papago GPS etc. i will only rely on Wifi hotspots for Internet traffic.

also, does using GPS incur any charges from Maxis?

note: i am not on any data plan and don't plan to...
*
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..

I update my unit to 2.3.3, but everything tend to slow down. Apps load slow down, message load slow down.I think I am the only guys that having this problem.
*
Not quite a good advice, but if me, I will factory data reset my phone after I update my phone. Its quite a hassle to install again all the apps that we have previously but at least I feel my phone is like new again

Got this phone on the day it was launch in Mid Valley... and i really like this phone a lot! HD and the screen size is much better than others. And I have one problem, might not know if its my own phone prob or anything, the menu, its in my own order and sometimes the apps that I've placed will gone missing to another page. and also why is my Ram just showing me 211MB free... I thought it is 512Mb Ram? *sorry 1st time android user* Hope you guys could answer my problems...  biggrin.gif tq.
*
hav u updated urs to 2.3.3? previous 2.3.2 got bugs where the own order will changed when the phone restart, dunno latest update fix it or not as i didnt put my icons to own order, juz alphabetically.. the ram is showing 211mb free because some of the ram is being used by the phone, thts all..

Ooh, i havent update it yet, but last week I've check for update and it says no new update... Meaning I update to 2.3.3 is still under gingerbread?
Okay, will try to search for the update.. Thanks! smile.gif
*
2.3 is gingerbread, so anything under 2.3 either its 2.3.2,2.3.3,2.3.4 is still gingerbread..

if u wanna check for update, u can either try by OTA, SEUS or PC Companion..

i already update my phone to 2.3.3, but hasn't root yet

when i type *#06# i found out is 15 digit instead of 14 digit.

so i need to wait if i want to root my 2.3.3?
*
For now there is no root available yet for 2.3.3 unless you unlock your bootloader..

but how about this?
i just curious that how this rooting perform without void the warranty
*
tht article was published b4 arc updated theirs to 2.3.3..

ppl from xda have tried gingerbreak 1.2 on their arc but no success..

if u successfully rooted urs using tht, thn by all means do tell us smile.gif

thr r many arc owners waiting for tools tht can rooted their 2.3.3 without unlocking their bootloader as unlocking the bootloader will prevent u from getting software updates from SE..

rooting only is safe, if u dun meddle around without knowing anything bout ur phone..

btw, u can unroot back n thus ur warranty still intact if thts wat u mean..
