Bug Fix / Wish List

[huggons]

How about to have an official bug fix / wish list here on the forum. Forum users to add their bugs and suggestions for continuous improvement to the Arc handset for the benefit of all Arc users and Sony!

Come on Sony forum reps, have you learnt from the past, are you up for the challenge?

I can kick things off with the following

Bug Fix / Wish List for next update after 2.3.3

Add support for BBC iPlayer downloads - support WMDRM10 or OMADRM2

Bug with user guide - Sony ref 90434693

Bug when connecting with PC companion, handset/PC companion reporting different battery levels - Sony ref 90430880

what is Xloud?

i agree with u

i do like to listen to.music.

i always believ that SE phones have a great sound (specially their walkman phone)

but, i'm little disappointed because in my opinion xperia arc's sound isn't great

i wish SE will improve this phone sound quality on the next update

I have had the following bugs over the last few days appear. I have to say even the X10 wasn't this buggy!!

• Was unable to activate/deactivate Wifi - Android status was "Error"
• Clock widget stopped, even though the phone time was correct
• I was on a call with the phone to my ear, when all of a sudden I was connected to my voicemail in the middle of the call!
• This morning, I tried typing a message and every time i pressed the screen, lots of letters started typing by themselves. I rebooted the phone and this stopped so it definitely wasn't something distrubing the screen
• Google Voice search frequently comes up with a connection error even though I am speaking clearly
• Also, the resolution of album art is really bard - I assume because the Arc makes the pictures bigger than the X10 did

Wish List

Obviously there are some things about this phone that kick ass, but there are some basic imporvements which would go a lon way

• Ability to scroll through music without fuly unlocking the phone like HTC Sense
• Ability to create a playlist from folders - at present you can only do this by track and eveyrhting is listred in trak name order so it's anightmare to find some tracks
• Ability to change tracks while screen is locked by long-pressing the volume buttons as per older Sony Ericsson phones
• Bring back the X10 option of clicking on music infinity button showing all other tracks on your phone by the artist (not just on youtube)
• Ability to zoom in 8MP mode, even if this automatically then changes to 2MP mode as switching between the two settings is annoying

That's all for now - will update with any further issues!

i am amazed with how detailed some of the responses were... wow. i just downloaded the new update, and i must say its a new phone, and so far the widget for the screen brightness was annoying, but the powerbar widget is now in it's place, so my problem is solved...

i just wish the email app on the phone - i am not sure if its android or SE - but i love it, i wish it does get updated from gmail just like it is on push from Exchange.... both emails update on the spot but gmail only updates on the spot in the GMAIL app and not in the email app... unless i am doing something wrong. 

some times when i text the text message goes, but the next time i text the same person i would find what ever i typed in the sent message is apperaing in my box, i have to delete every thing and type new.   some times it really gets you, when i see that text in my box i would think i did not click on send, so i would send it again turns out i just sent a duplicate, gets annoying some times.

please reduce those different countries different updates, canada got updated a month after, and i am talking about the generics, please.  i STILL THINK WE NEED BIGGER RAM, if SE goes dual processor, i just think it won't be enought we need more more DDR3 RAM.

for this webiste, we need a voting system.  list all the most talked about bugs and wishis, and see which ones SE must concentrate on...

kinda like this, but not only look at that but make it even better.

as for the email you should try Maildroid

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maildroid&feature=search_result

or K9

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fsck.k9&feature=search_result

regarding the txt saved as draft, what happen is that if 1) you have a lot of sms/mms stored on your messaging app which will make it slower and 2)  you sent a txt and then you pressed the back or home buttom right away before the sms was sent

try handcent its a great sms app

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms&feature=search_result

and also don't keep a lot of sms/mms on your messaging app use any of this to back them up

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.mmsextract&feature=search_result

One more important thing. In the phone we have sound recorder app by google, but there is no shortcut, and we can´t acces to it!!!!!!!!

Uliwooly you are in your style always with apps of market.............We don´t want market apps, we want xperia own apps!!!!!

[jlmcr87]

Other thing:

Let us select sharpening and compression in the photos:smileylove:

[Uliwooly]

I know, but the whole point of an smart phone is that you have access to thousands of apps, if SE preinstalled a lot of apps then it'll be great for some but it will suck for the rest, just think about it, do you use this apps

postcard

lets golf

timescape

etc

but they are preloaded and we can't delete them, well you can but you have to root and then use titanium backup

I think SE should make the apps and make them available to the market (Sony Ericsson channel)

[Uliwooly]

where is that "sound recorder app by google"?
