So confuse now.
My fren went to check out the phone for me and found out that the internal storage only have 285MB on a brand new set. He said it is too small and ask me not to buy it. He said we cannot direct install to the SD card. You need to install to internet storage then transfer to SD and not all the apps is transferred. He show me he install a program total of 4MB but once he click transfer to SD the file only transfer 2MB and left another 2MB in internal storage. he said some program cannot even transfer and some might not function properly. It is true? I was planning to get the Arc but after listen to his comment I kinda hold back. He did admitted the Arc is the most sexiest phone out there. |

QUOTE(ricstc @ Jun 10 2011, 09:59 PM) Unfortunately your friend is not wrong. Although there are apk that you can help move the games/apps to SD card, your friend is right that some of the apps cannot be fully moved into SD card - some portions remain in internal storage - which is really, yes youre right - very low. Light users (those that dont gila games or apps) install a few apps, be prepared to see around 190+MB left in the internal storage; I think you can imagine medium to heavy apps and games users - sorryla, this is not the phone for you to do that. This is a 'gentleman' phone some say. Arh, so sad. I will be using this phone for another 2-3 years so internal memory might be important. He recommend me HTC Sensation which is also one of my pick at the beginning but the screen suck. Yes it is qHD but the screen quality is terrible. The black background looks a bit white like those LCD you set brightness to 100%. He already set to lowest brightness but still a bit white. I hold HTC Incredible S side by side and it easily put Sensation to shame. Sensation viewing angle also not good. No offense to those Sensation owner.Some programs crash with 'force close' yes, your friend is also correct, but this depends on many other factors - cant blame low internal storage. |

QUOTE(ricstc @ Jun 10 2011, 11:08 PM) Ya you seem to clearly know your stuff and you have clear personal opinions about what you want - go for what suites you then - why regret if you get one you hear people talk so good about but dont suite your specific needs...right? I have a Canon camera and I only use VGA mode to shoot video. 720p eat too much space. Record friends and family moment a bit longer is more important than the quality.Im a new android user and my SE Arc only 2+ weeks old but Ive already read all the XDA threads on how to mod, upgrade, root etc it - so far so good but I bought this phone mainly bcos of what people said about the camera - photo and video. Comparing to my older SE camera and Nokia N8, I honestly think that all the marketing talk is really marketing talk - especially the video capability. Video shooting at HD only eats up more and more of the SD space, eventually I set it to 'Full Wide VGA' (which is better than just VGA) - so you think - whats the point of having a HD capable camera but dont use it - I think - ya la, whats the point, but whats the point if the video clip is so large and when processed in a video editor, the colors are good but the so called video image stabilizer still does not stabilize the clip - see these I took with the video camera to show indoorsindoors and outdooroutdoors Many other things to cheong hei but Im only a new member, so I better not talk so much. Good luck  |

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.  Maybe the dead pixel affected my mentality. |

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. This post has been edited by lotiman2003: Jun 12 2011, 10:21 PM |

QUOTE(Ultima @ Jun 12 2011, 10:35 PM) 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. |

Oh, one more thing, I found that the phone got a "tick" sound when exiting camera. Is this normal? I think it is something like my old K850 where the sound is use to close the lense.

Yo guys, I found the Arc is very odd. I have being using the phone for 7 hours and the battery still 100%. Sometimes no usage (idle) 7 hours already drop to 70% from 100% charged. This is not the first time happened. Anyone experience this issue? The battery indicator is not accurate.
