hoping 2.3.4 brings nice changes

hopefully the version 4 is a big improvement,

i bought arc ap set.
but did not include hdmi cables. is it normal?

yes, no hdmi, no bluetooth

its normal for AP set. usually those HDMI cable and Bluetooth bundle with orie set.


guys, I got problem with my Arc since I update to 2.3.3 (Global firmware) via flashtools..
the phone regularly shut off it self and can only be turn on by replacing the battery..any advice on such issue?

try reflashing again

if fail try another firmware, did you wipe data?

I already updated to 2.3.3 and the camera battery drain is fixed and start-up also faster. Normally during stand by / idle, how long it takes to drop 1%? Mine around 2hours drop 1% with 2.3.3.

new user here, any idea how i can use my Whatsapp? i keyed in my phone number but it seems no indication that the watsapp is functioning....how do i know if it is working?

Try reflashing again? Mine using global version, don't have that kind of problem..

That is normal if idle..

Switch on Internet connection d?

Yeah wifi, internet connection doing fine...or is it something to do with my telco MMS setting since i havent request for the Arc setting yet.

Wat? need to set router jus because of arc??? i though it should be SE fault there? when other gadgets can connect to it???!!!!

It only capable until channel 11, can't do nothing about it...

I did try to do the flashing again but it display an error when trying to start the flashing process. possible because the phone have the same version(latest) as the firmware that going to be flashed? so it reject the flashing task?

no I did not wipe the userdata.

nope, doesnt matter if the firmware same as the one u used.. me no problem flashing same firmware over n over again..

for me it is best to wipe the userdata and start fresh, as u can juz do backup first either using tb or mbp n then juz restore it on new firmware..

After reading on page 35, I started to feel my Arc is same with most of the users here!!! There is a fine crack on my sensor too!!! Did anyone of you went to sony and ask about it? I tot only my one... I didnt know most of the users also got it =.=... but why will it crack? Lol, sorry very curious now. Lol. I tot it was my phone protector tht make the fine crack... Anyone can tell me what can i do? XD

erm at first i did want to go to se to ask whether they got it covered under warranty, even when i complained to se facebook, they ask me to emel them the problem first...

but when i think twice, the crack doesnt do any major prob for me.. the crack doesnt got worse, and doesnt gives me any prob except its a crack.. ive learned from previous exp with my se phone that if it doesnt need to b opened, dont.. im scared later there will b another prob occurred if they open up my phone to fix tht lil prob..

the crack is at the front panel, and the front panel is where many things is attached, correct me if im wrong..

plus, even if they replace it, the material still the same right? there is no official news that they will b using new material tht will prevent it from getting crack again.. the crack logically is bcoz of heat, n i accept tht.. me myself using this phone playing games a lot, n watching movies a lot, n it heats frequently.. dun compare it with some makcik pakcik using this phone n they dun hav the crack, as they r juz using the phone for normal use only..

until they come up with sumthing like aluminium front panel (yeah right, dream on) i dun think i nid them to replace it.. but yeah, they do sux bcoz didnt think far ahead for the heat tht will make the phone cracked...

n now i miss my k750i build quality...

Had this similar problem with Whatsapp...

Solution :
1. Go to android market.
2. Option/Menu key>my apps
3. Scroll and select WhatsApp Mesenger > hit update

Once updated, try to use it once again.

Have a try. It works for me.


BTW, I had internal memory full issue with my Arc..
It prompted internal memory full earlier this morning..
Cleared some cache file and moved a few more apps to SD..

Managed to dig 45Mb free on my internal right now..

Is it normal to have 40-30Mb free on internal..?

Tanak la root2 ni.. risau..

u shud move all the apps tht are applicable to the sd..

cant help it as we hav low internal memory, so check every apps tht u installed either can b moved to the sd or not, n if can, move it..

xda forum confirm SE will cover the warranty

but hey, do it at the 11month of your warranty period!
