Ok I know not everyone will have come from the X10 but even if you haven't is there something missing on the ARC that we could do with?
I for one am missing my web thumbnail's widget.
(if anyone wants to point me in the direction of one)
Face recognition
Actually I only realised it first have face recognition yesterday and although I never used it all that much I still think it would have been a nice to have.

The only thing I miss about the X10 is the LED being on the front of the phone instead of on the side.
There's no comparison, none at all.
For grabbing your attention no, so in regards to notifications that definitely a down point.
Stlye wise its nicer but I prefer the function of it oget how pretty it look's.

Missing from the Arc IMO - NFC, inductive charging, bigger battery.
None of them are likely to be deal breakers for anyone though.

there is a small default app which works to save battery..i used it and found it really effective,it summarizes all battery eating stuff in one place.
if you have default 2.1 just go to application "support" and then click on tools and there you will find this battery optimiser
worked good for me,quick way to save juice

In the app drawer there is an app called Support. Once you run it there is a tab called tools. That's where it's at. The icon is a gear with a question mark on it.

yeah it is nothing NEW,all it do is ,it summaraizes all the battery eating stuff at one place,so it becomes really easy for everybody to do everything from there rather than going to millions of settings to do the same,i still have 85% after 12 hours with moderate usage.

2.1 official
jit v2 and crap apps freezed
I am about to travel abroad, so I won't be able to use mobile internet at all and I really need the extra battery life, as I'm probably going to be wandering around all day!
So today, for testing purposes, I fiddled with the settings from this app, and in the last 12 hours I only lost 20%! That's quite awesome!
It's nice to have those settings gathered together!
Thanks for the find!
hmm, is there any way to get this app back on the phone?
one way for sure, PC Companion and Repair!
And second one would be... gimme moment.... made a Backup of ALL Apps. should finde it here somewhere... *searching*
Nope sorry, just made a Backup from all installed Apps and not Pre installed
P.S Here some Pictures of Battery Optimizer. Just found him out of curiosity 2 weeks ago ^^
Already had only 2 left when i found it ^^
I haven't this either and i just did a re-flash so all the apps are back and no "support" app at all :/
Ok, I found it in the thread of 'all 2.1 system apps'.
Here it is for whoever else wanted it.
Out of interest I tried to install on FreeX10 beta 4, but to no avail. What settings are you able to control? Is it like wifi/2+3G data/blue tooth on/off policies?
It's strange that this is so hard to find in 2.1 because 2.2 is the same way. There are many advanced settings hidden in the power control widget that have increased my battery life with 2.2 far beyond what I got with 2.1 optimized. Not to mention, I haven't come close to going over on my data plan for the first time, and no need to use APNdroid anymore. You would never know they were there if you didn't look for them. I wonder if this "hiding" is an attempt to run up our data plans and encourage battery sales?
@Batman_112, Good to see you made it out of the batcave. Lots been happening while you were away. Welcome back! ( ^o^) lol
I know why it doesnt work on freex10 because its 2.2froyo and the app 2.1 eclair

Very good.
I knew that, but like I said, out of curiosity I tried anyway. Thanks though.
Can you answer my question, since I wasn't able to check it out? What type of additional settings are there? Are they like the ones I described from 2.2?
Theres a widget in the market called media buttons, that can be placed in widgetlocker(lockscreen replacement), works perfectly with stock player.
I know its no big deal but it might help somebody

The Launcher should be the same. the difference is the pro has a hardware keyboard that when slid out acts as the trigger to flip landscape. The launcher has the functionality to show landscape, we've seen it with HDMI or on models with hardware keyboard and I've heard reports of people with livedock working (for me doing OTG keyboard/mouse it stays portrait).
I had just hoped he managed to hack it or something, but I'm skeptical until we get at least some proof of concept, even if it's buggy.
Show us a youtube video of phone going landscape without hdmi or post a buggy hack.

<Minor thread necromancy>
I found this thread whilst looking if anyone had hacked the stock Xperia ray launcher to support landscape mode and thought I'd report this
All you need is an app to force landscape, and the SE launcher will happily switch orientation. There are two on the market that both seem to work fine:
Orientation Control (Paid)
Ultimate Rotation Control (Free 7 day trial, then paid)
Not sure if there are any free apps that do the same, but I was happy to pay for the first one as it does the job.
I'll post some screengrabs in a minute
Screengrabs
-Music control and weather conditions in the lock screen.
-A special made live wallpaper for the XPERIA range.
-A widget for the time and weather at the same time.
Please guys feel free to add your wishes and requests.

-dedicated video player that plays most formats

-the ability to choose how many home screens

When my phone rings from a call, and i connect the hands-free plug so i can listen better, the goddamn phone hangs and denies the call!!! And i gotta wait for the person to call me again... wtf!! Im expecting the phone not hanging the call and let me use my connected accesories as i please...
Even my ooold nokia 5800 could easily do that, and my xperia arc can't? wth..
Also, i'd like more desktops, with the stock rom [so please dont start suggesting mods and the like], 5 desktops are not enough.
Camera button to control music when the screen is off.
The percentage of the battery inside the battery icon in the notification bar.

But surely that's the point of having an Android phone. The manufacturer supplies a base spec then the user can add to it with apps and modifications.
What about XDA premium you posted from, surely that's bought and installed?
Music control in the lock screen works really well with Poweramp.

Accordingly to a a thread opened on Xperia Neo (V)/ Pro SE forum, a QuickDial (T9 entry for contacts parsing, "Sense contacts-Like") feature will be implemented in ICS upgrade. So ARC will benefit too.
Beside that, an overall improved calendar widget and app could be a plus. Moxier is not a big deal, easily removable, but will be even more useless under ICS.

Why do you post a new thread, if there already is a similar thread:

fix all the fails , lose signal , reboot , etc , and more fast .
- speed dial (like HTC's)
- scrolling notification toggles in the status bar
- music controls in the lock screen

You should start buying the apps you use to support development.
And Android is all about apps.
You can customise your phone to the fullest by finding the right apps for you.
SE and all other companies provide the minimal amount of apps to keep the phone running, the rest is up to you.
You can't expect from a firmware to include apps tailored to your needs because simply your needs are not the general rule.
Lower jpeg-compression and higher bitrate for videos!!!

+2 and better wifi signal...
I recently upgraded from Xperia S to Xperia Z. Frankly I like everything about Xperia Z except the white theme of Phone & Messaging applications. I miss the black theme found in Xperia S. In fact this is the only thing I HATE about Xperia Z. Don't understand why Sony changed it? At least they should give an option to change the theme if the user want.
Apart from it I found Xperia Z to be better on every aspect except Wi-Fi signal which is better in Xperia S. Xperia Z drops Wifi signals frequently at places where Xperia S has no problem.
Please post your views whether you like Black or White theme for Phone and Messaging applications.
What firmware do you have? I'm experiencing Wi-fi signal drops when I'm far from the router, had no problem with an Galaxy S2
The idea is:
Productive apps -> White
Fun apps -> Black
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk HD
I own an S and to be honest I prefer the look of the white apps on the Z, at least from what I've seen in screenshots. Not sure how they look in person though - white apps on a screen that isn't full brightness don't look as good in my opinion.

It's a matter of taste, but actually I like the black one too. The only solution without rooting is to search for a 3rd party app.
