No no, you got it wrong

For non telco sets, 1.81GB is left from the 1.97GB available space in the first place
For telco sets, it should be lower as part of it has been used as telco bloatware, probably 1.78GB out of 1.97GB left

So must pay more for measly 0.03gb or 30mb of free space. Thanks & no thanks.

Remember to root and freeze all the bloatware =)

I myself am waiting for a more elegant root solution, one that doesn't require unlocking the bootloader for now, to root

After that, time to arm Bloat Freezer and save on battery life and increase system response!

Could you describe the problem in detail? Just hit or miss connectivity? I'll be sure to feedback to the product dev division

OTG should be working, memory cards are accessed from a file manager, from Astro in this case, by accessing SDcard2 from 1 folder above the eMMC root folder

I'm on mac n win7
both,works oh my arc s
but I aalao curious too if x's is buggy on mac

 

[ITretard]

Oh my.. I'm on mac too..

 

[bennyb]

ok...once connected to my mac, only 20% of the time i can a connection to the Bridge for mac app.

OTG, i tried using the same cable(Generic) i used with my note. It works with a thumb drive. but if i try to read a sd card using an adapter, it will say insufficient power.

Hmm....I was at the mall near Clementi MRT and the Singtel shop there have the dummy set already. I'm guessing the telco most likely have the stocks already le bah.

Hopefully launch in IT show and if possible give special price at launch, or at least I hope M1 does. haha.

With the adapter, it isn't surprising, as the Xperia line of phones doesn't output that kind of voltage (USB = 5V, battery in XS = 3.8V IIRC) to power both a memory card and an adapter

You'll need the Livedock for that, attached to an external USB power supply

Also, note that the longer the cable, the more detrimental it is for power transfer through USB, so make sure the cable is as short as possible
