4.0.1.A.0.283 ARC (Android 2.3.4)

Kotlicki · Sep 20, 2011

Got the update today via PC Companion.

First impressions:

- Much faster to operate
- Fast Boot time.
- Media Shortcut on home screen seems to be wrong (Not finished)
- 3D Camera and 3D Album applications
- Added option to backup and restore application and system settings to uour google account
- Xperia facebook integration (not sure if it was not there before...)
- On long press of the power button, an option for a screen capture is added.

Yes, root will be lost if you update via PC Companion. In any case, PC Companion will not allow you to update your phone with unlocked bootloader. You will hit an error.

Still cannot see this for my UK handset either by PC Companion, SE update service on the SE website or the update service on the phone?

Then it just means it hasn't been released for Uk yet.

I'm facing a problem doing the update, my device is rooted and running 3.0.1.A.0.145, I decided to go a head and update to the latest version ( 2.3.4 ) and I know I'll loose the root, but I'm willing to do that as far as I'll not loose the data/settings...

the problem is I just can't update, the PC Companion just crashes as soon as it starts the update ( after downloading and restarting the phone, and plug the cable while holding the back key )...

Even thought it was a recent PC companion installation I just downloaded on almost fresh Win 7 32bit installation, I tried again on my desktop PC with Win7 64bit and a little bit older PC companion... but still the exact same problem.. app crash, the phone works normally ( thankfully )... I just can't update

frustating!!! PC Companion not detecting my phone ..

problem resolved, reinstalled my PCCompanion

Where is SCREEN CAPTURE option ??!!!??

doministry · Sep 20, 2011

As usual the question:

How this update behaves regarding backup?
Does it wipe the whole device off and requires backup
or everything is preserved?
