Anonymous, 21 Oct 2011this phone is one of the best in the market even compared to the duel core ones > Amazi... moreTrue...the ONLY negative point of this fone for me is the RAM. It is advertised as 512...but ALL my memory manager apps show 265mb RAM, NOT internal storage.
Can anyone clear up how the RAM is so little?!

Chandra, 22 Oct 2011What's Neoreader barcode scanner? Is it for scanning the business card data into the phonebook... moreNeoReader is to use installing an apps. For example, you open an app from your laptop or desktop. Once the app is shown on the screen, there are instances that some apps has an option to install through NeoReader. Just open you NeoReader app (your camera is automatically activated) and point you camera to the app in your computer screen and once the camera of your phone detected the bar code of the app, it automatically captures the app and it will give you a link where you can download the app (you should be connected to the internet) then just press that link and installation starts.

i think the size of arc is the best and handy among all the phones at present with 4.27" display, even handled with single hand. galaxy s2 is a little large but not handled with one hand with normal size hands. Also need not to upgrade it with arc s just for processor. most of the people need not of much speedy processors or dual core ones, 1ghz is enough for normal use.

I just received an OTA to my Xperia Arc. The update downloaded fine and it started the update OK. During the update (I had the open box icon an 4 dots on screen) the phone just shut down and now it doesn't turn on anymore... Nothing happens if I press power button (it doesn't matter how long) even after removing battery.

Is there anything I can do. Is my phone permanently bricked? I thought they test these OTAs before pushing them out?

this phone is one of the best in the market even compared to the duel core ones

> Amazing camera, the best in my opinion.
> so fast fair enough, no lagging at all, however if someone is calling launching an app, contacts, browsing...etc in 0.3~0.7 secs a lag so he should make up his own mind, plus what would someone do with phone with super specs while its battery barely completes a day.
> concerning the AMOLED/Super-AMOLED, i think the Mobile BRAVIA engine is fair enough, the only point of the AMOLED tech. over the LED backlight LCD is that it is more viewable in direct sunlight.
> Music Player, come on it is Sony.
> Video recording and playing is just amazing, thanks to the perfect camera and the BRAVIA Engine.

Negatives,
> i think it is the internal memory, however you can fix it by installing apps on the SDcard, yes some apps needs to be installed on the device, but it do not think it will exceed 320MB.

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2011sir plz post my doubts..and help me plz...ye i tried.. Its succesfully send to my nokia from m... moreOn which part that it failed to receive the file? Has your Nokia already recognized your arc, I mean when you about to send the files from Nokia, did the device name (arc's name) appear on the Nokia screen to service? Once it capable to send, it supposed to be no problem in receiving file either. Note that the phone will refuse to receive any unsupported file formats. Try to send an mp3 song or a picture from Nokia and also check if there is bluetooth directory already in arc sd card. And keep the arc bluetooth status discoverable.

Just got 2.3.4 in Saudi Arabia. 3D Panorama Camera is beautiful. RAM optimization on 2.3.4 is much better.
