the other 580mb is being used by ur system files. be grateful, mine only 380mb for internal storage

dont quite understand what u mean by default s/w?, software?

btw using the mentioned rom n kernel, so far no restarting.. but i did restart it mycef from time to time.. just for it to refresh itself.. kinda like maintenance for it.

on gingerbread, the os is very stable, well it is a stock rom after all.. never once having a problem wit it. btw mine is arc not arc s.

Under wifi, set it to static ip, there u can change the dns.

Guys I heard xpeia arc s is tested with the android 4.2. Normal arc wil enjoy it too or not if the update came out??

Iinm only ics n above support the otg.

many user change/upgrade phone dy. arc will always been in heart my first android phone. now upgrade to xperia Z

not that fast bro, almost 2 years loyal to arc, skipped entire 2012 xperia line. just i think my arc has serve me well enough, it cant keep up paced with my need already.. gona always miss you arc.

I missed this thread, love arc curve design, very sexy. but this phone really hv quality control issues. such as mysterious crack at the proximity sensor, n chrome paint peel off. and the biggest issue for me with this phone is the internal memory demm to low both ram n internal storage. actually 512mb ram was ok back then back the 1gb internal memory was absurd. useable only 200-300mb. it was a shame.

my mum is using this phone currently, well it works ok for a normal usage such as watsapp and very light browsing.
