Xperia Arco S

[yhw22]

I bought 2 cases for YEN5960 (SGS 97.21). So it is YEN2980 each (SGD48.61).

vPost Shipping is SGD48.24. So it is SGD24.12 each.

Therefore is about SGD72.80 per case.

Sould have ordered more cases as the vPost shipping charges could have covered for at least another 5 more cases...

Wooo, that was expensive. I knew beside SLS near to BK got a shop that sell Case-Mate casing too. Not sure he got it or not.

Don't think so as I was there 2 weeks ago.

Furthermore this case, as you can seen in the photos, is acutally ment for the Acro HD. So I don't think they want to take a rish bringing it in as not many people like me don't mind he extra hole on the case which was ment for the ANT.

I got mine from Goo10. Benks which cost around $11 and also got extra hole for Acro S too.

have both Nilkin and Rock case

both are ok to me but it would seem the Nilkin gives a better screen protector and comes with a cloth

i bought Nilkin red but the red is those alittle light red, was expecting ruby red type but nvm la just use both first

Rock is $10 (thanks to Adix)
Nilkin is $13 (ebay)

You should try using Tenso for shipping as Amazon tends to use big packaging for small items. Tenso charge shipping by weight whereas vPost is by volumetric.

I got 3 phone cases and screen protector for my Acro S thru Amazon JP and was charged 1590yen (approx. S$25) for shipping.

Case-Mate case are not cheap in SG. Like last time my Atrix case cost $50+ in SLS. I got it at Case-Mate webstore during a sale for $25.

I notice for the past few days that I have been having problem with the microSDHC.

I'm using a Sandisk 32GB Ultra Class 10.

Occasionally when moving big number of files/media/photos from one folder to another folder within the card, the card will cause the whole phone to slow or even hang. When I moved photos, the photos will not have anymore thumbnails preview after being moved to a new location.

Have to turn off the phone and turn it back on, then everything all back to normal.

Occasionally the microSDHC seems to unmount by itself too / load error / card is empty. And once again a reboot will solve the problem.

Any attempt to unmount (if the option is still avail) and mount the card does not seems to help, but but reboot.

One last thing I noticed is that when I download something while surfing the net using Opera Browser, I get a prompt to save the file, but it seems that the phone only allows me to see the sdcard only and no way to find the directory that points to the microSDHC eg. /mnt/ext_card. Only can go up all the way to /mnt/sdcard, no access to /mnt/ so can't choose ext_card

Any advices?

my sandisk 32GB class 4 got no problems like yours. i read that class 10 is overkill and problematic.

my dolphin browser can go all the way to root and also save to ext card. mine's rooted btw

I like it when you say overkill. Class 10 is still faster for transfer of large files.

32 and 64 GB AHAH
maybe it just sony fault hahaha
maybe try to format it and copy files back to test again as it might be u buy card then u just use with out format it

I have formated it in the phone before using it.

When you say maybe it just sony fault, are you not using an Acro S?

Sony Xperia Support advised me at Main: Unstable mount/read of ext_sd:
"The first problem and the third problem are both normal behaviors and as such I unfortunately do not have any advice I can offer to resolve this. For the second problem, I would advise backing up the data on the card, unmounting and then formatting the card itself."
Shocking to learn that there is a known "problem" in our phone

Did you use another card on it before judging whether its the problem with the card or the phone?

I also have problems with my previous arc using class 10 msd card.

But I went to format it twice and no more problems. I guess it was the card or sometimes the card gets corrupted when I unplug from my pc which I might have did some wrong steps.

So I have been trying to resolve this problem these few days. I tried formatting it on the phone twice...still end up with the same problem. I tried a quick format that formatting with the phone...still problem. I lastly tried last night a normal slow format then reformate by phone...STILL tha same problem... LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I went back to my old SandDisk Ultra Class 6 32GB and voila! No problem till now....

U mean that you are using a SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 in the Acro S and you have no problems at all? Not even transferring large number/size of files or even scrolling through the photos fast in apps like ASTRO or QucikPic or any file/photo manager apps?

If it is so, then I think there must be something wrong with my card...to have a faulty Sandisk Ultra is like striking lottery lor...

Yup, the biggest size that i played is 300mb+. No problem playing video. But i think i encountered deleting picture thru Album like hang.
