GingerBreak x1.20 will NEVER WORK for 2.3.3 as of today 7-7-2011. You need to downgrade it to 2.3.2 and root it and upgrade it back to 2.3.3

It was tested with Arc and workable, and I manage to get it working with my newly purchase xperia Neo using the same concept!

The only difference between these 2 is the capacity (and pricing, duh!) and whether enough and not enough is depending on the user, not the phone itself.

PRICE

neo also got hdmi wa...
the waiting game is forever. I stop waiting after 3 month neo/pro delayed (and as of today there is still no news that se MY will bring it in) and bought myself an AP set neo.

Warranty? If it will fail, it will fail. I had 4 AP phone that never warranty b4. I had 4 ORI phone that 2 of them screwed up 1-6 months after the warranty period elapse. So should I care about the warranty?
I had unlocked the phone and rooted it 3 days after I purchase the phone:
day 0 juz purchase, battery need 8h charge
day 1 been googling the firmwares & methods
day 2, viola I am on a rooted phone

You can wait for the xRay but I must warn you, with the way SE rolls out the models, I bet you can ony get it during xmas.

Keep on waiting.



OFFTOPIC: Arc is nice but I just don't like the size. Too big.
This applied to SGSII, Sensation, and the rest of the phones that had uber large screen size. I'll get a pad if I want that big screen. Nobody would want other to look into them in typing sms and viewing fb.

Don't flame me. Arc is still a great phone (as of its little brothers, xperia Neo )

October?? In fact 2.3.3 is already better than 2.3.2 in terms of battery consumption. I doubt SE can do much in 2.3.4
--> SAUCE <--

Before we give you the rooting guide of Arc, I think you should do some reading on the rooting process and the pros/cons of them.

Anyway the Arc rooting link is : HERE

Ori or AP also should comes with locked bootloader. if you have an unlocked bootloader that means your phone set is not 1st hand.

Phone. Unless you install App2SD

No pain, no gain...

Bloody hell Vivaz still RRP RM1,399.00...

Now Arc should be around 1.7k Ori & 1.4k AP

Mine is 75% after taking out battery and put back become 4% and dies off. I am "WT F" and restart it become 64%

I would say that the wifi connection issue cannot not fully blame SE for this. Even notebooks and wifi adapter tends to have lost connection or unable to connect problem. Apparently it is also cause by the wifi channel and interferences on particular place.

Last time my Toshiba laptop cannot connect to my home network due to the wifi channel set to "auto", after I set it to any channel below 9 it works flawlessly. Some devices are choosy on wifi channel. It is the same case with the Arc.

1. 500-900mA depends on usb version and/or manufacturer design.
2. No it won't. It is just slower.

Downgrade to 2.3.2, Gingerbreak it, and OTA update to 4.0.A.2.368

I did that for my Xperia Neo. I think Arc could do the same. Just wait for the OTA to be available.

I had wifi line dropping happened with my laptop, ipad, smartphone, etc... Especially when there are tens of available wifi network which interfere with each other.

The bottom point is that you can't blame the phone for being disconnected. It is not entirely the phone's fault.

Well I have no problem with the Vivaz back then. Hangkai? Only once or twice due to the buggy S60V5 OS. I believe even apple/andriod will have all this Hangkai problem. It is no difference than your Windows XP after you packed in so many features.
Linux based Motorola V series is stable, but... Where is Moto now?

Arc's ExmorR camera is equal or better than X10. If it isn't bright or sunny X10's pics get too dark. Arc hasn't that problem. In low light, Arc's default is easier to take photo as compare to X10 where you had to really be steady during the time it capture the photo. It's really hard to maintain focus in night time on the X10, whereas you would notice a huge difference when it comes to the Arc. Even though the X10's camera is really good compared to many other phones out there, I'd have say that it's really slow from initiating the app to focusing on the subject and to saving the image after the picture is taken!

It is already 3rd quarters into the year and yet had any other phone capable to compete with Arc in term of the photo quality. Unlike last time when X10 comes out there was the Samsung Pixon who steal the crown off from X10. Nokia N9 should be more superior as compare with Arc's camera, but due to the isolated OS (Meego)

Mini zoom lens comes out from the back of the phone when you activate the camera?

No.

It is quite funny that there are 2 different results
Results from xperiablog, pro-Andriod

Results from allaboutsymbian, pro-Nokia

What would you say? Both phones are able to produce stunning photo. Either one of them are able to kill phone from the rest of the world. You are basically asking whether an Audi A8 better or a BMW 7 Series better, which it is quite subjective to answer.

As for the pricing, kindly proceed to Garage Sales for the up-to-date pricing.

The worst point is that it uses the same battery capacity
Why can't they use a bigger RAM onto the phone?
