does anyones arc s cracked like arc?

OH no.if its confirm going to crack like that..
i would be stupid to get an AP set isnt it?
as AP company are famous for their warranty...
noooo....

my ex x10 also chip off like mad. eventhough i took care of it like a baby.
must be the sweaty hands..

whats the best case to protect it? mercury?

hey guess..

i just dump my op black for this sexy baby which if u touch too much she will start to peel..haha..

i got a theory on the hair line crack, it could be because of the force we apply on that area everytime we try to on/off the screen. Possible?

the first thing i did when i got this babe is put inside a casing and never take out. even when touch the chrome part, must wipe it with tissue. haha..

used a x10 before, no matter how i took care of it. the chrome part still chip off..

realized one thing OPtimus black screen does really looks stunning , realized that when i saw photos on Arc is kinda dull.

bluetooth transfer 2 files.
installed 9 apps.
a bit browsing.
whastapp
10 sms
10 minutes call

Turn off the brava engine when you view on phone. That's why I never believe the photos quality on phone until I view it on bigger screen. Hehe. One thing I don't get it is why the light sensor has to be so huge. Like a big mole on a sexy chic face.

is it all the time or once a while?

the more expensive the better..hehe..mercury?

i personally think get those rubbish type is better than hard case because, during impact the rubber can work like a bumper to neutralize the impact. ...i think. hehe.

getting AP or ORi ?
if ap i got a good seller to recommend you..hehe


Sample Photos.

My Arc s lasted for 33 hours with h
Juice defender ultimate.

i got a free one when i bought mine. AP set..hehe.
its not branded but its usable. more like a capdase imitation.haha .

it really feels nice to hold it the way it is. but the stupid chrome parts worries me.

its happened to mine too. sometimes 99 sometimes 96.
all i did was plug back in. let it reach 100 before removing.

im using juice defender ultimate.
very useful app.
my arc s last me 32 hours with usage similiar to yours.

what would u like to know ?
i just enable everything. hehe.

we need to accept the fact that no matter what arc s lags.
i rooted and delete whatever i can except timescape.
use Go launcher,
it still can lag when i press home button.
some icons take a few more seconds to appear.
just now left bout 80MB ram. and it says Camera not available when i wanted to start it. lame shit.

Added on December 20, 2011, 1:14 amXperia Arc vs Xperia X10 photo quality
Normal daylight photos are of similar quality as a Xperia X10 on Android 2.1. White balance precision by the Xperia Arc is very good. Only a handful of our 500+ the test photos had unacceptable white balance. We have shot and compared 50-60 images with the Xperia X10 and the Xperia Arc. Both phones has a 8 megapixel camera, are made by Sony Ericsson and both are running Android. The first thing we noticed was that the X10 file size was much higher than those from the Arc. In our test images, the average file size from the Xperia X10 was 2.63 MB. Photos of the same motive, captured with the Xperia Arc resulted in an average of 1.2 MB per file. The mixture of motives had graduated edges such as the sky and snow and others was with sharp contrast such as tree branches and gravel. Xperia Arcs smaller file size does indeed affect image quality. If you are looking at the images at 100% magnification you will see the JPEG artifact caused by too much compression. By compressing the files as much as the Xperia Arc does, images will loose details. Hopefully, a future firmware update will let users choose the JPEG compression level to certain extent.

yeah. i read bout those too.
at least u regret after 7 months.
i regretted my arc s after few weeks.
i would never expect the overrated Exmor R could be this sucky.
i really have to salute SGS2. Wanted to get it but too common and love a camera button with the arc design, who knew. a 1.4ghz could be this laggy too.
after pressing home button, u still can see few icons loading one by one.
tried to use Go launcher. its the same.
RAM always at bout 80mb. it never fail to pissed me off everyday.
daily kept thinking what ways to boost it.
rooted it and deleted bloatwares..still the same.
i even choose not to use folders. delete some fun apps. just to see it go faster..haha.
SE.i m very disappointed in you.
the only snappy thing bout the phone is the camera speed but photo quality is unacceptable.


i choose customise. i control data and wifi myself.

i gave up on playing HD games on that slow poke.
just some simple games to burn time.
today i switch back to Go launcher , now even GO launcher lags a bit now. haha.

hey guys.

i think my arc s is somewhat smoother than before after i did these..

Auto Memory Manager



SetCPU



Kill apps once a while.

woo hoo. just did the link2sd thing.

the thing is ..most of my apps i already used app2sd and its in the sd now.
so can i mix link2sd to link the apps, and some is being moved by app2sd previously?

or do i have to move back my apps from sd back to phone and link back?

thanks..if anyone replies.

i believe only Authorize Distributors set will replace under warranty.
those Ah beng Kedai Telepon wont give a sheet. haha.

Added on December 28, 2011, 2:54 amthanks for reply. never expect will get a reply at this hour.
but most of the apps i move to sd with app2sd are games and some common apps.
do i really need to link them to run? or i can just move to sd as it works before this.
and cant i delete app2sd since i got link2sd, would link2sd recognize the apps that apps2sd moved.

hehe. thanks.

btw, so those Link2sd apps will go to the 1gb partition and those move to sd will go to the other?

thanks for ur reply once again.
i think i will just let it as it is at the moment.
now i have 158mb free space. woo hooo...
and most apps are in the sd card.
but then..the phone still lags a bit when i press home button eventhough most of the time i have 100mb free ram.

any apps to stop some background running services until the next reboot?
the Updates center, play on device just never dies.

how many of you using arc/arc s without hard or rubbery cases, just pouch?

so many cases.
be careful of the corners or scratches since u constantly change cases.
im using a soft case and got a bit sick hold the case then feeling the actually slim phone.
its a pity right? such beauty have to be hidden..
if only SE replace the plastic chrome part with metal. wow..

yeah. when just holding the phone it self..it feels...oh yeah baby..
but then put on a case...i was like ...potong stim.. haha .

im not worried bout the scratches.
im more worried that even if u took good care of it. the palm sweat just makes the chrome chip off..

thats what happened to my white x10 last time.

yeah totally forgot bout the 3 buttons in front. its gonna chip off one day...damn..
i hate the plastic chrome parts too... so much. haha.
