screen u mean the bravia screen ??

anyway just want to tell about display on arc s is not that good imo .
its just normal. the bravia thingy is when u watch pics n video. other than that is normal . or maybe bcause i got 2 screen protector fr my arc s

maybe samsung note/s2 amoled screen are better. but i like iphone retina btween those 3.
*
cant agree with this , i compared sg2 and arc s screen side to side .

The gs2 screen is like ....... too colourful ?

The arc s screen is more nature and gentle to my eye .

For refrence

the rovio icon should be red but on sg2 it shows like marron sleep.gif

maybe its contrast is better but the white shows blue .

You might found that the photo you view on the screen is more colourful than the real world you seeing .

ok u are right bout the screen about samsung amoled,i dunno why i feel different,maybe bcause sgs2 is using clear sp and my arc s is matte sp. try iphone retina,u be amaze.
the bravia screen is only superb when viewing pics and videos iinm.
i have tried fb apps on my arc s n iphone 4, iphone 4 blue colors(fren request,msj,notification) is nicer than blue colour on arc s android.and also viewing pics is much better on iphone,it feel like it makes the images sharper while arc s ,bit blur..maybe bcause big screen..

about photo , nahh it looks nice but when zooming abit,there pixel where samsung n iphone will also have pixel but its hardly seen,not hardly,.hurm i dunno how to describe,just test both.
but i compare camera side by side ,iphone is much better,the colour is nice, and the touch to focus is so good compare to arc s touch focus,which seems like its not focusing,i hve to set to multi focus.
but the results in pc showing arc s camera is better.

the brightness on retina is amazing too,i often set the brightness to lowest which is still can be seen indoors,outdoors below sun cnnt see at all,must set to medium or max only n can be see,but i rarely use even half of the brghtness except outdoors ,the brightness is not like ipad or my old android phone which only improve a little from medium to high,you can see the brightness difference even scroll a bit.

another superb quality screen is android asus transformer tablet. that is just as amazing as retina.but fr android phones,..i hvent seen any good beside this two... and i notice iphone and asus is using glass i guess fr their screen?
*
For photo , android 2.3 gallery is downsize image so zooming might not nice . You can view it fullsize on pc tho .
About the focus there are discusion earlier in this tread already so i will skip it .

For quality of screen , arc and iphone both using high end tft lcd screen tho . The quality is almost the same , perhaps iphone screen is sharper due to its size . Other than that there arent big difference there . For brightness arc S have brightness improvement over arc and i have no problem reading my screen in sun light using 40%- brightness .

Glass doesnt give significant effect to the screen colour no matter gorilla or not on those device , they are clear enough .

Try clearing data for the Update Center application in the phone.

Menu> Settings> Applications > Manage applications > All > Update Center > Clear data.

go to settings > about phone > software update..it will show a new update is available..

press the menu key and disable automatic update

the Arc s is still on par with xperia P and overhelm xperia U

1ghz dual core is almost like 1.7ghz single core only

and smaller 3.5' screen , lower cam will be disadvantage .

Arc S is Rm1250++ only . No regret .

U are a bigger liar . Using such obvious hinting trick to make ppl confident in ur word ?

I actually test the 80.9mb game and it work flawlessly full frame rate .

user posted image

90% + of current application is made for 1ghz cortex A8 processer .

It work even on old sgs and x10 . I cant see why wouldnt it work on my arc .

My arc S can even run street fighter IV HD without any problem .

Try it urself before simply claim that xxxxx wont work .

No prove no talk as you say u can play till level 9 that mean its playable .

If you wan to change ur words and say you cant that mean you never try .

No prove no talk . Trolling at here is strictly prohibited .

Stop lying ba . You cant even provide a valid prove to backup ur point therefore your argument is invalid .

Case sloved .

wanna ask..its easy to take care?

nope . Its not matte material .
So it won become yellow .
It using smooth material which might attract finger print .
And the chrome beside might peel off if use without case for long time .

Am still a little blur, I need u help explain.

Sony Ericsson Arc x12
Now mine is 2.3.4  / 4.0.2.A.0.42. Never root or unlock.
Ori Thorus still got 6 months waranty!

1. If I root phone does my warranty void?  Yes or no?

2. When root phone already, will I get superuser /root permission?

3. Does unlocking bootloadet void waranty? For what unlock bootloader?

4. When I root will it accidently unlock bootloader?
Then will my data all be erased?

5. When already have super user permission which to use titanium Or root explorer or recommend me.

I just need root access to remove junk apps like this post below so need unlock bootloader not?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614761#

For this rooting what's best method?
Can recommend some tutorial or methods.

Thx.
*
Root or unlock bootloader will void ur warranty . Root can be easily undone so sony will probably won notice it .
Unlock bootloader will void the warranty because you need to register ur phone IEM on sony database so they will have record . Unlockboot loader is for flashing custom rom .

you only need root it and install superuser and also Es file explorer .
Then use Es fille explorer to remove junk apps .

i will assume you dl-ed the Bin4ry root exploit . You only need to click "root" button on the pc software .

Make sure you enable usb debugging in the software develope inside setting .
