My problems with the new Arc S handset is twofold.One,is what type of file can i download for this phone and two what file can i put downloaded mobile apps.Cus i don't have an internet connection directly to my phone but i can download items from my PC and put them in respective files in my phone.My biggest challenge here is how to get mobile apps in my phone so i can use them.When i download some apps on one or two occasions and try to apply them,they don;t work.

      Xperia Arc S received 2 ICS upgrades so far (both the 4.0.3 and the 4.0.4 later) The 4.0.4 version corrects many of the problems that the 4.0.3 had, but it's still far from excellent. I had to struggle for RAM and even some apps from the Google Store are being upgraded to work correctly with ICS. I flashed my Arc S back to GB 2.3.4 as it runs smoother and works better with my phone. My advice: If you buy an Arc S, don't update it to ICS if you want a smooth experience.

          well i think this statement ((Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread), v4.0.4, not upgradable to v4.1)) means there is no other upgrades for the arc s in future. i recently have upgraded my arc s to ics 4.0.4. and it is working just fine like it was in GGBD without any lags or bugs.

            I updated to ICS but am very disappointed. Sim card invalid error always pops up & its very annoying.

                          Guys, is there a way to bring back the GB Xperia themes to our ICS phones w/out going back to GB? Thanks.

                                Upgraded to ICS and i'm happy with it right now.. First, a little slow and sometimes a little hot on the back cover, but now with some weeks of ICS and some apps helping him, he has 70hrs of stand-by (was near 40hrs with GB) and back cover heating has disapeared. Satisfied costumer, for now..

I've read so many r... moreyes that's right the camera is better on Gb , your phone will get a bit slower when you upgrade , but that doesnt mean that ics is so bad , it also has some advantages , for example notifcations are much better , also holding the home button you can close running apps , anyways for me .. Gb was better and faster
