Waiting isn't my strongest skill

Probably recognizable for most of the die hard members here. It's like waiting for someone posting a new rom, you keep bashing F5 to see if something is there yet. Now I have a similar problem. Yesterday I received a message from my provider my contract is renewed and the Arc is on his way to my house as we speak.
I checked out Track&Trace and the parcel indeed has left the transport company this morning. Now I notice I keep looking outside the window every 2 minutes I already have the feeling I am a bit behind, while this phone just hit the market a couple of weeks ago.
Well, not a very constructive post I assume, but I thought I share something useless for a change with you guys. I already saw a few familiar names from people who came of X10, but going through the topics I already noticed lots of new names.
Hopefully some good devs buy this thing as well so we can fool around a lot with this beauty.........hmmm....still no postman here
Cheers,
Arnold

Congratulations on a nice buy and I hope for your sanitys sake the postman arrives soon

Now that is great news. Let's get this thing rooted than
Did you unlocked the bootloader yet? For now I can't see the point actually so I think I wait till it has some advantages for us. Great to see you here too. As you now I am not a dev, the only thing I can do is make some graphical things for the eye and some (un)usefull comments
Man, waiting can be taking some time. I am out of sigarets (I know, bad habit), but I don't dare to leave the house for 15 minutes, because with my luck the postman will be here in that 15 minutes :lol

Welcome
Arc is one of the best phones out there.
Rooting for a custom rom seems to be quite difficult...
You might have to wait a bit.

i know exactly how u feel. i ordered 2 and had to wait for a month before i cud get my hands on em. i called sony showroom everyday and eventually when it came, they gave me a discount
"all good things to those who wait"

@ arnold:
btw I ordered one for me and one for the mrs. same as you...

Well my wife changed here mind and went to another provider where she gets an ipad2 for free with a 2 year contract for 32euro a month. Really can't understand how they can make money on these kind of offers. I spoke with kpn for a while and in the end I get my arc for free now. In exchange it will be delivered by a very slow postman

Mate, you are going to love it when it arrives. It really is a huge step up from the X10.
I played with the X10 a little this morning and it made me realize how much better the arc is. Also, X10 feels like an absolute brick in comparison.
Hope it turns up soon!!!

like hyperx10 said, ull love it. it really is the sexiest gadget i've held in my hand and not bcoz i spent money for it ... really worth the wait. if only devs root it soon.
pollypix: cant wait for you to make awesome wallpapers for arc!

does the arc also has the 960x854 resolution? In that case you can use the 180 wallpapers i posted in the x10 section. Or would it be wise than to copy it to the arc section as well?

480x854 screen, so those wallpapers will work.

Hey PollPixx good to see you here man hope to see some more x10 users and the devs as well I am also waiting impatiently for the 28th to come as that is when my carrier will release the phone, i feel like a 5 year old kid on Christmas i havent felt this excited and impatient in a long time lol. Hope yours gets there soon

I got mine today too...
I was scared to go to the toilet because it is at the far end of the house and I wouldn't hear the doorman. It didn't help that I had to wait until 3pm for him to arrive
But it was all worth it am loving the phone so far...

If you think that's bad, how about actually having the box in the house but having to prevent yourself from opening it because you have work that needs to be done? xD
I got mine with Three UK, their "All-you-can-eat data" (real unlimited data usage with no fair use policy, tethering supported and advertised) for £40/mo with nothing to pay up front.
According to their store manager it's also unbranded and not SIM locked so when SE stop supporting it I'm hopeful I'll be able to unlock the bootloader

FIXXX FOR BRICKED ATRIX IS HERE GRAT DAY FOR ME Method...

ok guys 2 days ago some how I had a atrix on 2.3.4 i ran the RSD lite and pudding sbf file got to 99% and said fail So I got the error code we all hate
SVF:105.1:2
Failed to boot 0X1000
Now here is the thing on my Atrix I had that Error but I also had 10 other options to chose from from that black screen like RSD/Fastboot/Bs Bypass Ect Ect....now to fix this Rsdlite will have to detect your device if not then no go for you but if you get the
SVF:105.1:2
Failed to boot 0X1000 screen along with other options to chose from on the bottom your good now before i go any farther from what i read on here i was hard bricked but I could have just been soft bricked ?? But non the less before i post my brick fix will someone please confirm that i was even hardbricked and not soft bricked. Thank you if I was hard bricked I will edit and show you how to fix

Are you serious? Try reading any of the several posts that clearly state and explain how to unlock with pudding. Hopefully a mod will see and close this crap quickly....

THIS IS NOT a hard brick.
With hard brick - you cannot access "the 10 options" you mentioned.
This is a soft brick and it was always fixable.

Thanks

Congratulations on saving yourself from a SOFT brick and sticking your foot in your own mouth and butt. Maybe you aren't a noob but you didn't do anything any body could've done with some reading.
I voided my warranty.

What are you talking about? Here is a link to a thread you started yesterday about this "brick":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236575
The weird thing is, it looks an awful lot like I was helping you out and told you that it wasn't a hard brick and even explained to you how to fix it.
So my question is, why are you trying to take credit for something someone else figured out a long time ago?

This is good bye from The Gingerbread Man (temp)

Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,
Steve
PS
Im open to suggestions for new phones to get and reasons why. Im staying with android and dont want a sgs2
Bye for now..............

Hey Steve,
Hope the effect of cider wears off your x10 soon!!
Enjoy your holidays man!!
As for the new phone... stay with us mate! jk

can you please mention the reason you dont like SGS2 i think is the best option for replacement phone

Wait for new nexus phone...that is what I would do.

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.

What to say i feel bad

I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...
Have a good holiday mate

it is tomorrow i leave for my holiday, 2 weeks time il be back and hopefully have a phone, mine still isnt back from repair, im leaveing for manchester airport at 5am uk time so looks like no phone to take on holiday. Im sad without it and iv missed loads since iv been gone only one week.

WooHoo just bought my Note!

Haha. Sorry I just wanted to share it. I was shaking when I clicked purchase. 739$ is a lot of coin. LOL. But still I am an addict and I'm stoked to get this. I will be a regular on this forum again. XDA FOREVER!!!
Now to find a case. And screen protector.

Welcome to the club! You won't have any regrets

You wont regret your purchase !
my advice is dont jump on any of these roms just yet .. wait a couple more weeks
play with the stock for now .
Enjoy !

Thanks. Will do. I'll probably install Launcher Pro(assuming it works) and honestly can be fine with that with Stock Rom for a while. Waiting to hear how that Rock case works. Might get a TPU one too.

In my experience, I would say definitely. I used Chainfire's method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 I have rooted my phone twice already. The first time was when I was on KJ4(when I first got the phone). Then on KKA(the most recent 2.3.6 update). For the time being, I would suggest to stay stock rooted and wait for a stable ROM.

Congrats on your purchase... I too shelled out a lot of dollar but it seemed worth it for this beast! Had mine a couple of days and it really is epic.
Don't be too put off by initial battery drain, have found doing some simple tweaks can double battery life.

Easy fix for that... resurrect your continuum and come back to the fold.

So get this. This chick I know had a DX2 and the screen wouldn't work right for her. I saw on facebook she was selling it so I asked how much and she said $20. I think maybe I can get it working and for 20 bucks, why not. I buy it from her a couple hours ago, plug my charger in and it works just fine. So I got a DX2 for $20 and I'm sorry to say it but I might not be around here as much. But thank you so much everybody for all you have done for the Continuum. When I first got it I was a little disappointed but after all the hard work from everybody it made the Continuum awesome.

One day I was on the verge of smashing my continuum after failed verizon and samsung support for this device. Tired of the same old crap I scoured the internet far and wide looking for ways to improve my experience before giving up. Then a friend referred me to this forum, and I must say that I no longer have the urge to flush my phone like the piece of crap it once was! I have been silently scoping the forum daily until today when I decided that the very least I can do is register to give thanks to the many such as yourself who have invested time into making this device what it is today. Thank you for making me not want to break my phone
