thanks,
I did search and found the same thread at xda few hrs ago..
downloaded and run the flashtool and stuck at "S1Boot Download' driver install.
the "S1Boot Download' driver setup failed at device manager so I can't proceed with the flashtool.
now still searching how to resolve that S1Boot driver but can't seem to find anywhere online..
any advice?

good to hear, unlock boot loader can use flashtol ler...did mine all with flashtool

Glad to hear that

can I choose 2.3.3 Generic Global Firmware for my arc?

sure can..

ive used HK rom, O2 rom and Global Generic rom..

so far wht i can say is:

O2 no bloatware
Global Generic got bloatware, but not much
HK same as Global Generic

right now im using Global generic, not saying O2 is not good due to its no bloatware, but the name Global Generic firmware gives me peace of mind lol

like O2, seems to be the fastest

currently on .146 global

thanks guys,
manage to update to 2.3.3 Global via flashtool.

Hi guys, in the first page got mentioned that the default camera apps which which causing battery drain because the camera apps is not fully closed. I noticed that even you forcefully close the apps but the battery drain is still occurring. I noticed that when that happen, the upper portion of the phone around the camera sensor is quite warm. I think the apps is closed but the camera (hardware) itself is still operating which explain the battery drain issue. When that happens, i tried to close the apps a few times and you will hear a tick sound which might be the sound of the camera shuttle closing.

However, sometimes the battery drain still occurring even there is a tick sound when exiting the camera apps. Anyone have this problem? If I installed third party camera apps can fix this problem?

battery drain bcoz of camera apps occurred on previous firmware version 2.3.2... 2.3.3 oledi fix the bugs..

That good to hear that. If I upgrade to 2.3.3 how much free internal space available after that? Previously, my space is just 285MB available out of the box.

so tempted to remove the native camera app... using vignette and set to superfine quality, each image size is an average of 5mb

You mean vignette is better than the stock camera apps?

do u have problem with UNIFI wifi? my arc seem cant connect with Unifi wifi....it cant detect at all....sometime can, sometime cannot....i try to restart de set, but it failed to detect at all, where else, all my other gadget (i4, ipad, mb) all can...

ori set, 2.3.3,no root set...

cant say for sure bout quality, but he sock camera app compresses the pic way too much

i agree. i am surprised they haven't fix it yet. at least give us an option...

ya, so we can choose the level of compression like the ones in samsung. Well, at least vignette got 5 compression options, normal or fine for everyday use and super fine for macro or scenic shot. Someone should suggest this in SE blog. But a review on Neo in GSMarena say Neo's pics also compressed to an average of 1mb and should follow arc's way of compression, so i presumes that our level of compression is region specific?

Set the router channel below 11

midland set at 15xx? was asking to trade in arc for samsung infuse, but was told ori set only worth so much n ask me to top up rm 400, haha

there were a lot of complains about it on the SE blog and xda a few months ago but as for now it looks like SE is sweeping things under the carpet
