It's like your virginity. Once you unlock your virginity - you can't ever get it back. Remember tonight and think of it many many years later...  rclxm9.gif


Added on June 7, 2011, 5:17 pm
Share with us when you say almost anything - what are those that CAN't be backed up by mybackup?  Can it be used to backup stuff that are useful for people like StevenX when he unlocks his virginity (bootloader) and roots his phone tonigh, to restore all his apps before he lost his virginity and before root?  rclxms.gif
*
i havent tried it yet without root, but with root, it acts almost the same as titanium backup, plus it can backup ur contact, sms which i dunno if tht can b backed up by titanium backup as i havent used it after i used mybackup pro..

of coz TB n MBP got pros n cons, but for MBP, i dun c it running on background unlike TB which i can c it runs on the background..

as for me, MBP backs up all my apps plus its data and my sms..

Yes, to share with everyone, TB can backup all that you mentioned but it is only useful for those with rooted phones as it does not install on non rooted ones.

So youre right, there are Pro and cons and MBP is good for rooted and non rooted phones and now that many of us are rooted bcos of the new 2.3.3, MBP is a good and only option.

Soon, many will be losing their virginity if no gingerbreak for 2.3.3 is developed bcos people just cant wait to OPEN UP kangkang to be rooted  rclxm9.gif
*
btw, TB can backup sms or not for the latest version? havent tried it lately so dunno whts the improvement they bring..

one thing i stick with MBP is bcoz the ability to backup sms, contact, call log, bookmarks, mms, n system settings..

i hope not all will unlocked the bootloaders ler, if not who will provide us with the files for us to update our firmware using flashtool lol..

Yes TBP can backup contacts and sms but it does not have an easy or friendly interface, Youre right - MBP looks more friendly a good idea to stick to it. TBP is good for freezing or uninstalling stock apps - but of course, as in my video, be careful.

Since I am still with virgin stock 2.3.3 locked bootloader, show us how or which tutorial to read to provide people like you with 2 files for you to make the ftf you need for flashtool-ing ...?  - who knows the more people can save these files the better. So tell us how to...
*
iianm, u nid to take out 2 biggest files from ur SE folder.. i cant do it bcoz im already on unlocked bootloader, so updating through SEUS is not possible, so thr is no way for me to get the files needed for flashtooling..

its on the xda forum how to flash and how to create .ftf file.. all using flashtool..

just installed and ran MBroot last night. backed up my contacts successfully but i noticed that all the sub categories i included in my contacts are gone? meaning only the name and phone # is backed up. other details such as notes, address etc. is not backed up? can anyone confirm this or there's another app that will be able to back up all details in the address book?

Added on June 8, 2011, 9:45 amthanks for the answers benny. the reason i asked questions here is bcos it's a good forum for us newbies to get help. good job for setting this up!

today i plug in my phone to TV..
watching my brother 30 min of marriage video (continuously take using ARC) and plus karaoke sang by relative which around 5 min per clip (got 8 clip)
no stutter at all after upgrading to 2.3.3... its smooth and the best part is when my uncle join the club and ask..

he said : 'where is your video player... I dont see any"... and "when you take a shot... never notice this been taken during wedding day"
me : "hahahahahahaha"....

he never thought than phone can take video clip as quality as videocam itself... ...
p/s : 30min video taken equal with 1.5GB of SDcard... karaoke event taken 150 ~ 200MB per clip... So, I believe if continue recording around 2 ~ 3 hrs i completely using all sdcard memory (8GB)..
*
glad to c the update fixes almost every probs we had in 2.3.3..

n yeah, didnt know taking HD video takes a lot of space, but its worth it tongue.gif

btw, someone from xda forum mentioned they found a way to root 2.3.3 but u nid to revert back to .181 first, then update to .145 through OTA..

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

n for those unlocked bootloader user, jerpelea from xda forum oledi got hand on ARC, so its juz a matter of time b4 custom rom will b made smile.gif

Added on June 9, 2011, 12:06 amThat's good news for those that are still on 2.3.2 and havent updated OTA or via SEUS.

Personally, I was with that exact set up, however I did NOT do an OTA update but a SE PCC one and lost my Gingerbreak root, though retained all other settings and apps.

I would be cautious and wait for more comments at the XDA, especially from the senior members.


Added on June 9, 2011, 12:10 am
Factory reset always clear all user apps - that's why its called a FACTORY reset. However, your 2.3.3 ROM will still be 2.3.3 Good luck
*
well u could still downgrade to .181 using flashtool, root it, n update it through OTA...

but the problem is we dun hav .ftf file for malaysia firmware...

i wonder, malaysia sets is which firmware region? global generic or others?

Cool, so you can try the method to get root easier as you on .181. update through OTA is said will maintain the root

i have a rooted via gingerbreak .181 and i did a OTA via Wi-fi but it says that i already have the latest firmware. However, SEUS/PC Companion says that 2.3.3 is available. Anyone encountered this? There seemed to be a discrepancy tongue.gif

OTA usually late than SEUS or PC Companion..

if u wan root for ur .145, dun update through SEUS or PC Companion as u will lose ur root..

ppl claim update through OTA the root still remains usable..

Just bought the Arc. The internal storage suck but I already knew that at the beginning so it is not a major disappointment for me. There are 3 early things which I found it to be an issue:

1. The phone button is too high and hard to press with 1 hand.
2. The default location of the phone/dialing which located at bottom right is very hard to press and it failed many times to detect the finger press. I need to move the button to other location.
3. The camera button is to stiff. I don't think I can get a got picture with it.

Oh, 1 more thing, the 1st unit I got has 1 dead pixel. I was so shock to see it but the seller change a new one for me. FYI, I already out from the shop then notice the dead pixel and causing them to return the unit to their vendor, which is kinda bad on their side.

Well, I somehow don't have the happy or excited feeling about my new Arc. Previous phones I was very excited but this one ... normal feeling. smile.gif Maybe the dead pixel affected my mentality.

1. tht one u can feel first b4 bought, so thts not an issue as u oledi accept it..
2. this one u can chg it easily..
3. u can always use the screen to take a picture..

where should i place the call logs back up in my phone?

gingerbreak have been quite inactive, so dun think there will b a support for new version..

if u hav root, thr r many apps out there tht can backup ur sms, call logs, contacts, system settings n more..

backup all those b4 u update..

but make sure ur 2.3.3 got root or else u cant retrieve back the backups..

Can I rename the short cut icon in Arc? Example got Phone function and I replace it with TouchPal Dialer and once i move to the home screen it display "TouchPay Di" only. I found it be very stupid this way.


Added on June 12, 2011, 10:21 pmOh I just phone it. I use Anycut to create a new short cut. Damn Android is very complex to use even the basic function is no good out of the box.

To get more, use other launcher. Stock launcher is crap for most of the android phones.. Try go launcher ex at market, its free n more customizable..

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.

the stock gives all the basic functions u need.. if u nid to customize more, u nid to learn more how to do it...

it is a smartphone, not a feature phone.. it gives u the basic function of a phone, n at the same time gives u some sort of entertainment..

n btw, get an ifon if u think an android gives u a hassle..
