You can't. Need to wait for root
If you can handle it I found a Factory reset seemed to stop Moxier being active and I got almost instant results.
See the Power Use thread for more.
You can't uninstall from the phone - not sure if you can just delete the thing from the SD card though - it may cause it to fall over...
Hi all, thought I'd ask SE for help on this one.. and this was the response.. I'm going to try it and see...
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson X10 handset.
We can confirm that you can not remove any application that came preinstalled on the Sony Ericsson X10 handset. Therefore Moxier mail can not be removed. We have however included some steps which should enable Moxier from starting up when not in use.
1. Go into your menu and select settings.
2. Select Applications
3. Select manage applications
4. Select Moxier mail
5. Select clear data then select Ok
6. Then go down to Coontrols and select Force stop
This should disable the Moxier mail.
Kind Regards,
Emma Anderson

I click on Force Stop and nothing happens ...
@ SE...
I don't think anything will visibly happen.. it's more about what shouldn't happen!! ie Moxier starting up on its own!!
Ok, then SE needs an UI (or is UX) guy there to tell them about the feedback the user should receive after taking an action ...
SE support really are hopeless... I've just tried this (with startup auditor switched off.) and guess what.... moxier started up when I switched the wifi off... and so I killed it.. and it started again when I switched the wifi on.. back to startup auditor I think!
Startup Auditor won't help with that because Moxier Mail starts up when Data Connection Change event fires (ie whenever you switch from 3G to WiFi or vice versa), and that's an event SA doesn't autokill apps at.
I've alerted the developer and he's going to add it back in so long as it doesn't cause issues.
Hi guys,
New poster here but have been lurking for a while. I too have been having the same issues as others with Moxier Mail so got on to SE Support to help. My first email was greeted with the same response as one of the posters above so I responded with the following:
Me said:
Hi Emma,
Thank you for your prompt response but I regret to inform you that the method you suggested for disabling the moxier application only works for 5-10 seconds until another data connection is made or another call is received. This ridiculous piece of software is ruining what should be an amazing phone. Whoever thought it a good idea to let it run the way it does should be given a stern talking to at the very least.
If you or anyone else in your technical department have any suggestions on how to get rid of moxier to make my phone last longer than 8 hours without needing a charge, even though I haven't used it, then I would be greatly appreciative.
Kind regards

Could you please confirm when it is exactly that Moxier is enabled on your handset?
Is it when you receive a message or any other sort of notifications?
And what exactly happens when Moxier is enabled?

My response:
Me said:
Hi Emma,
I should have said in my last email, but I don't have moxier set up at all. I have entered no settings in to it to activate it, nor do I intend to.
It seems to start up as soon as any data connection is initiated. Be it turning on wi-fi or turning it off and going back to GSM or 3G. It will initiate on resuming from sleep mode and when a normal phone call is made. I know that I am not the only person with this problem. It is literally happening the world over according to the numerous fora dedicated to the x10 that I have found.
Kind regards,

Now we shall see what the techs supposedly have to say. I will keep you informed if there is anything useful in their next email.
Apologies for the long post but I figured it might help and also might be an idea if we all get onto the SE Support on this issue.
Thanks.
Thanks DBSS - I've replied with a similar comment when I got their first hopeless response!.. No reply yet.. We should compare solutions as they arrive!

I am having to use android task killer to periodically kill moxier. I have never done anything with it either and my battery was down to 50% within an hour or so after it had been on charge overnight. Since using task killer its been much better.
Only had X10 about 3 days and impressed with most things but very annoyed for the general consumer who would never use an exchange server but forced to not be able to uninstall moxier stuff on an other wise Flagship phone. maybe Sony can supply a firmware update which allows us to remove or disable it.

Most definitely im_iceman.
For what it's worth by the way I am on O2 Ireland with this phone, locked to them.
Seems we all are having these issues with the freaking Moxier. My solution is Task Panel all the way and adding moxier to the Kill section.
Cant wait to root and forget about this little thingys that are screwing up the total enjoyment of this expensive device!

Looks like this is going to be the only way. I just called Sony Ericsson's help desk and got put through to a vegetable. He advised that there was no way to shut it off, even though i didn't activate it, Sony wouldn't come up with anything to alter it as it's part of the phone and it does that to make switching easier (after i told him i hadn't used it and never planned on using it), and there was nothing they could do.
Gotta love customer service lol
Does anyone know if it can be updated to the latest version at least? Everytime I do the update, it says I have the latest version which is not true. Thanks in advance.
Why do you need to uninstall Moxier ? Just because it is in the kernel stack does not mean it's using any resources...
I use Moxier daily and it has little effect on my battery.....

That's a good point.. I was wondering about it myself today.. I don't use moxier, but there seems to have been a wave of mistrust developing about the app...I've currently got Startup auditor and task manager keeping it off.. but actually not run any tests to see if it's a problem... tell you what.. right now at.. 2217.. I'll take it out of Startup auditor and task manager and see what happens.. will report back later!

ooh.. do you know what.. I can't remember exactly what happened now.. but I've got startup auditor and task manager both trying to keep moxier off.. so it must have seemed like it got worse!!.. I'll run another test... see what happens.
Gee thanks SE - turns out this app does not work on the Arc. So here are 2 questions:
1. does anyone use the SE Sync service? Would it have saved the SMS?
2. Does anyone know of a way to read/decrypt the backup file so I can extract some raw text?
It has already been said on the Sony Ericsson developers blog that the Sony Ericsson backup and restore app is incompatible with gingerbread. It has been stated that 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 will not have the backup and restore app, so I would recommend you try one of the other apps on the marketplace that will work on gingerbread

I don't read the SE developer's blogs.
I have an X10 backup file that I'm looking to decrypt - once I've done that and saved what needs saving I can use the regular apps.

If I was able to link you- I would, but this is a secondary account after my primary account email got deleted and I forgot my password to my primary account.
the only way I know around this is to get another app that does backup and restores and use that. there is plenty available on marketplace

Yes but they can't read the SE file... I traded in my X10 for a big discount on the Arc so I don't have it handy...

that would be because the SE backup and restore tool encrypts its backups. I do not know how to decrypt it

Why don't you phone SE for support, or take your SD card to a local shop/ service centre... get them to help you?

That's the first thing I did - They've given me the run-around. Bloody annoying.
What I'll probably do is go to the shop I got the Arc from and ask to borrow their display X10 for a few minutes.

thats about all you can do. I would prefer SOny Ericsson did what they did to release the handset earlier. The last thing we want is a 7 month delay over something so insignificant
I used Backup and Restore version 010935 to restore just my sms messages when migrating from my X10 to my Arc.
Contacts were pulled from my Google account, and the only thing i really wanted was my sms messages.
Others have reported success restoring other data, but it is not advised to restore system settings, because obviously, it's not the same system.
Got a lot of the info from this SE forum: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/65988
You can get the file here.
It has been suggested to download the program directly from SE's site, but that link doesn't really work. This is the APK that somebody extracted.
Anyone know why Setup Guide seems to insist on running all the time? Every time I check to see which apps are running it's there, why ?
Me too, and xperia play, multimedia server, and a lot more.

Heyy I have had the xperia arc since o2 release on the 19th April.
1 question where is the file manager and personal profiles etc.
Also what app is used to take screenshots as looking at android market all the apps there say the phone has to be rooted.
Thanks in advance,
Jinx13
There are many file manager & personal profile apps in Market
I use Astro file manager to manage my files
Root is available for ARC, so you can root your device... Without rooting you can use MyPhoneExplorer to take shots (need to be installed on device + on PC)
Thanks for the tips downloaded that file manager new to android

android Is awesome.. but it might take you a bit to get used to it.. depending what platform you've come from...

you can use dropbox to make it like ftp and upload files from your computer that you can download anytime with your phone
try it

1 other thing what are you using to root the arc? I seen a thread HERE Is that what your all using?
About root, i think you should wait a little more for custom stable roms.
Im looking into it since im new to android too
Depends what you want to root for, and if your phone is unbranded and sim unlocked?
If it is.. then you can unlock the bootloader and flash a rooted kernel. here..
then root here..
I rooted mine to delete some stuff and install screen shot apps, and reboot widget!.. awaiting kernel to allow overclocking..
voice dialer
Where can I find it? According to the help files it should be in the application list but it's not there... in gsmarena's test it says there's 'a dedicated homescreen widget' but I couldnt find anything as such in the widget list.
I need it and I don't like the idea of browsing through the market for finding applications for each missing feature (yes, I'm a beginner in Android )
Dev
Just copied this from the sys.. you can try installing it.. make sure you check "unknown sources" in the settings/ application menu.

No luck, it says its installed, but when I try to launch it 'Activity not found - android.com.voicedialer'. Same if I try to use the apk in /system/app. Is it there in your applications list?
actually..no, it's not.. and doesn't seen to be accessible grin within the dialer either.. have you tried plugging the headset in and clicking the button on there. long press I think? haven't got mine with me so can't test it right now.

Using my BT headset I could use the voice dialer (rather voice command, because its like 'call xxnamexx', 'open calendar') Now I'd like to assign custom voice tags to contacts because it will never recognize hungarian names
Hi Guys,
Is there any way to change "via Android" to "via Xperia aRc" on Facebook Android when posting on FB??
As far as I've seen the only is option is updating your status through timescape but even then it only writes 'via Sony Ericsson Xperia' ...
sent from The ARC
There are so many android phones that facebook doesn't wan't to update it. It also doesn't show wich bb phone or iphone it is send from.
there is something that u need to modify in build.prop
i forgot wht it is exactly but u can check the X10 forums there was something on this a while back when we were using ported apps from prototype Arc system dump
That's set up on FB servers. You can't modify build.prop to make FB say "Sent via Facebook for Xperia Arc" because FB doesn't have that option.
