    hi bros,i am confused between xperia arc s and xperia neo l.which is better?

      Rain, 03 Aug 2012Hi - I have an Xperia Arc S and I updated it with iCS thro ... moreOf course I do recommend rooting. Only this way you can remove bloatwares to make ur phone run faster. You can uninstall Mcafee, Timescape, ANT+ and ANT service. These are totally useless apps taking a huge ram and space. If you have "office pro" then you don't need built-in "office viewer" anymore, so uninstall that too. Just root your ICS first, then download a free app called "Root uninstall", then use "root uninstall" app to uninstall built-in apps. You can get a "how to root" guide in here: http://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/root-sony-xperia-arc-arc-s-official.html

              this phone is awesome! the only problem is has short battery life.. if you use the internet and games, you can used the phone about 4 to 6 hrs only. . if only calls and text, the battery last one day only, maximum!

                        I would like to install Link2SD app which requires rooting of the phone. The purposes of installing this app is only to move most of the apps to SD card. Though I have APP2SD certain applications could not be moved to SD card. Would you recommend rooting? What are the other apps that can be removed from the phone? Kindly mark reply to my email id krnarain@gmail.com. Thanks

                                      An interesting fact is that, Arc S has GLONASS beside of GPS. GLONASS is a radio-based satellite navigation system operated for the Russian government by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces. That means, GLONASS is a Russian version of GPS. Gsmarena should add this in it's specification page. Look what is written in "Whitepaper" pdf (whitepaper_EN_lt18_xperia_arc_s.pdf) of Xperia Arc S specification:

                                      Supported satellite systems:
                                      GPS
                                      GLONASS*

                                      * NOTE: GPS and GLONASS are used together to calculate the position. With both systems active, the accuracy and robustness of the positioning is better in most conditions. The usage of GLONASS as an additional system is transparent both to users and developers, and the benefits are automatically available to applications currently using the Satellite Positioning API (“GPS Provider” in Android terminology).

It has no alternative. And if you could root ur ICS to remove unnecessary built-in apps, it'd be wonderful. It works like a charm. My Arc S battery lasts almost twice after doing this. Also you've to use auto cache and task killer.
