Hi Please let me know if the Current software verssion on Xperia Arc supports Wi Fi using secutity Authentication " EAP-SIM"

[#2]

One More Querry: I need to dissable Automatic Updates ( Google MAPS) on my phone.. Have dissabled Auto Synch and Background Data under Accounts and Sync under Settings .. however Maps still does automatic upgradation which is draining my battery and memmory.

Also suggest the link for downloading " Advanced Automatic Application Killer" for automatically killing unused applications to free up memory space..

Is thare any link for preventing virus attacks on Android System?

Xperia arc supports the following Wi-Fi securities.

WEP 64 bit

WEP 128 bit

TKIP

CCMP (AES)

Open Authentication

Shared Authentication

EAP-TLS

EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2

PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2

PEAPv1/EAP-GTC

WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal

WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise

You can disable auto updates for Google Maps by going to Market > Menu key > My apps > Google maps > Uncheck the auto update box.

There's several application and task killers available on Market but i do unfortunately have none to recommend, because I don't use any task or application killer myself.

Hi Johan,

Thank You for the details given..

EAP -SIM is supported on Blackberry and other models. Any patches being developed for Arc.?

I don't know if it's something that will be added in any future software's, but I'll pass on the feedback to concerned team.

Hi,

EAP-SIM wifi authentication protocol has been adopted by a new mobile operator in France (free mobile, fast growing given very aggressive prices and technical advances vs. competition), to allow customers using their widely deployed wifi hot spots (4.8M installed) instead of being obliged deploying expensive femto cells.

iPhone4 & 4S and Blackbarry already support EAP-SIM, and free mobile has reached an agreement with Samsung for supporting the protocol on their Android phones (already available for sale through the operator).

It would be worth taking the opportunity of the planned upgrade to ICS, for including EAP-SIM authentication also in Xperia product line (I've an ARC S).

Thanks

Yes! We need eap-sim now in France!

My old Nokia N86 has it but not my new Xperia Mini St15i!?

Please Sony, can you include it on Android 4 upgrade?:smileywink:
