FYI, according to xda forum, they recommend to move back all apps from sd to phone n link back... cannot link apps that are already on sd card

for the apps that already moved, no need to link. juz let them stay on sd card.
not sure whether can dlete or not.
only link2sd apps go to 1gb partition.
those app2sd app, remain in main partition of sd.

resetting phone will not erase sd card data.
recommend u to update latest version so that u can hav better battery life, memory management and other fix

ever run this tweak on ur phone? http://captaindbg.com/tweaking-guide-super...ndroid-devices/
it is usefull tweak that helps ur phone 2 run faster.
for me, i'm juz upgrade to latest 2.3.4 - 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware and flash DooMKernel... a simple tweak here n there and also install 360 launcher replacing the stock SE home launcher. the result = no lag at all

u hav already formatted ur 2nd partition to FAT32/ext2/ext3?

if u think logic, ringtone is in sd card rite? then after u connect to pc, sd card will be unmounted from phone. so, ringtone from sd can't be used for a while until u mounted it back. if u want, transfer the ringtone file to internal memory but it is not recommended because can take up internal memory space

Added on December 28, 2011, 11:11 pmnope. i'm using hardcase. if naked, i'm scared my arc s got scratch. if using flip pouch, arc s losing its beauty
coz the iconic arc design can't be noticed clearly in pouch

Added on December 28, 2011, 11:13 pmyes. after u got ur arc s, install moboplayer from market. subtitle text is very clear n read-able

Added on December 28, 2011, 11:17 pmnormally 8 hours. some tip for u for extended battery life. charge until it reach 100% and let it charged about 20min, dc the charger. then let the phone discharging to 50%, off ur phone and charge it without on ur phone until full. repeat the step in ur first week.

i notice that after using case, my phone is slightly heavier n thicker. but if naked, feel slim n light. love the phone to be naked but will get scratch someday. unless SE release housing for arc s like nokia phone

actually i hate the chrome part. but arc overal design won my heart back. that chrome juz a cheap plastic. easily can rip off... i'm also scare chrome button will get the same fate. coz b4 this, every plastic chrome element in mobile phone or anything, will rip off

next arc generation seems still using physical button... hopefully they can remove physical button like samsung galaxy nexus prime

will try it later..

xperia ray not sure. i think it is same with arc. stock player dunno can handle subtitle or not... try download 3rd party player from market such as moboplayer. i've tried it and the subtitle text is very clear

Unlock bootloader 1st: https://www.facebook.com/groups/myandroidia...11640442196049/
then you can root: https://www.facebook.com/groups/myandroidia...06427309384029/

btw, u are invited to join this group at FB. very usefull: https://www.facebook.com/groups/myandroidians/

FYI, by unlocking bootloader, we can flash custom rom in the phone. bootloader is locked by company (SE) to prevent us from flash custom rom. they want us to keep using their official one. and root is getting access as administration privilege. means with root, u can edit system file for tweaking ur arc to the fullest.

advantage of unlocking bootloader is u can flash custom rom in ur phone. but it void the warranty. scared of warranty void? don't worry. there is method to relock bootloader. means restore back ur bootloader locked.

advantage of root is u can maximise ur android usage. no more restricition here n there. can change font, change cpu speed, edit build.prop file for tweak and many more.

BUT please bear in mind, unlocking bootloader n root has very high risk. may brick ur phone. means ur phone is truly un-usable. can't turn on, can't charge n many more. but once again, don't worry. we r in android scene where almost anything can be solved. u can unbrick ur phone with approriate method.

cheers!

install adFree Android from market bro...
quite usefull apps to disable ads

yeah! definitely.
as always, modification come with risk.
if u want, i can give simplest n easiest way to unlock n root

Before u proceed, make sure to set usb debugging. Setting >Application > Development > Tick at USB debugging.

Also, u need to install ADB driver for the phone. Easiest way is download this installer: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php and install it while ur phone connected to pc. (that software actually is for wifi/usb tethering but it also hav installation for ADB driver. ur internet might be disconnect after installing that. just restart ur pc)

1st u need to unlock bootloader n root if u wish to install custom rom. If u don't want, juz root ur arc.

Link for bootloader unlocking: https://www.facebook.com/groups/myandroidia...11640442196049/
Link for rooting: https://www.facebook.com/groups/myandroidia...06427309384029/

anything u not understand, i'm here to help u

ADB driver essential for any android phone for development purpose. means anything that related to tweaking, ADB is important. fastboot_with_Android_usb_file.rar also has ADB inside it. But to get function, ADB driver need to be installed. n 1 more thing, extract that .rar first. phone data only affected. not sd card content

Added on December 30, 2011, 5:27 pmFYI, sensation is better than arc s in term of overall performance. plus it is dual core phone. arc s only single core. i'm arc s user until now. i think arc s is more than enough for light n medium user. no need to buy high performance phone unless u know how to utilise it

1) maybe u can sync ur contact to google account
2) donno whether link2sd will crash or not. if it crash, u may create again link2sd
3) as i said, root doesn't wipe any sd card content. if u flashing new rom, then it will wipe all data

Added on December 30, 2011, 7:47 pmpanorama pic is a key feature for arc actually.
don't move to fast lorh. juz steady move. i prefer u to only move ur body while holding camera. not move ur camera with ur hand. that grey area appear because range u move the camera is short. panorama is best for nature shooting. not suitable for area that have people or other object as it will become distorted.

LOL. yeah. better use tripod if wan nice result

actually, every smartphone has it's pro n con. if u wan dual core, juz take sensation but if u don't care dual core n wan nice camera go to arc s. i'm using arc s n i satisfied with its overall performance. even not dual core, but it is fast also... camera software even better than sensation. so, it's all up to u.
