    Post Countries where 2.3.4 is available

    I gave up waiting and flashed it manually. Was pretty painless actually, only took an hour overall (dling the flash program and the flash files, setting phone up etc.) You dont have to root or have the bootloader unlocked either (which I had assumed wrongly you needed to in order to flash.)...

    Post Countries where 2.3.4 is available

    1:) because they only have so many servers from which to download, and bandwidth is costly ;) 2:) Some countries have specific regulations that legally SE have to abide by where as in other countries they may not apply, eg volume in some countries I think it was limited to a set db level..

    Post Xperia™ arc software updates August 1, 2011

    There is a definite battery drain after the new update, UK Generic Firmware. It does seem pretty excessive an hour after unplugging from 100% im down to 90% at work ;/ using gsm network not 3g and wifi. Also noticed that the bug of the headset button not responding after a while whilst I ride...

    Post [Q] Big issue with Arc stability

    I had this same problem, even with a case. Used some ripped up bits of thick paper you get from the tear-offs from a wage slip and it hasn't happened since. Im happy its easily solved but a little miffed that its obviously a design issue. :rolleyes:

    Thread Arc headset issue..

    hi guys i've had my arc for close to 2 months now and it's been spot on. But recently i've noticed the headset button no longer registers any clicks.

    I really $%^$%$ love my phone! I bought the HTC Legend a while back and while it was a brilliant phone, I think without a major overhaul of android its just a tad too small screen wise and the processor while good enough had its bad times. But now its so different to be using the Arc, im...

    Ive found Android brilliant! its given me the feeling of a more functional version of symbian S60 (nokia n958gb) stuff mostly works as it should, usually what you cant see immediately to hand is hidden away or catered for by another app. Theres a great app store coming along, people are...

    Post [ROM] Azure; CyanogenMod 6

    Yes I understand how the app works, but that isnt what I was pointing out. Im hoping a release in the future will have the control like the HTC system with just holding your thumb over the optical sensor being enough to start a focus.

    Post [ROM] Azure; CyanogenMod 6

    Well, i updated after your reply but im afraid there isnt much of a change on the focus side. Least it isnt like it was on the htc camera, just having your thumb over the optical track ball does not focus the shot, pressing the trackball and holding seems to be as close as you can get. Ah...

    in 0.6 of this rom does the hold to focus work in the camera app? Or is it still the same point click and hope for focus in time as 0.5 was? Either way keep up the good work Ali!
