  1. Imho 2GB for apps is more than enough, most apps are below 1 MB.

    Moreover, most of the apps you install when you first get a brand new phone (like Olof just did) are apps you never use anyway... You have to spend a little time with a phone to know which apps you'll use and which not, or else your phone ends up being filled up with useless stuff. It's happened to me before. I always find myself deleting apps not only because they take up storage space, but because they're utterly useless.
  2. My phone doesn't have as much as 2GB though.

  3. lol, sorry mate, went a bit too technical there!!
    Simpler: Android stores big game files on your memory card, and just leaves a small sized app on your phone's internal memory.
    So, the 500MB that Remy mentioned don't get stored on the internal memory...it's more like 5 on the internal and 495 on the memory card. This way, the 2GB space on internal memory is usually enough.
    (I think it got too technical again...dammit )

    Olof: Yea, the Arc has around 320MB I think. That is certainly not enough. But I believe you can move most modern apps to external memory using application settings. Other than that, try Apps2SD.
  4. Yeah, something like that. And yeah, I moved quite a few apps. I feel it may have made the phone a little but slower though (which is of course not very strange at all), but not a worrying amount.

    The thing I'm annoyed at now is the software for syncing Sony has. It's crap. Utter crap. Progress bar freezes and you can't see what's happening... and it's really buggy all around... Guess I'll look for something from a 3rd party there.
  5. Had a short look on XDA for some kind of fix for your problem Olof, I found this:

    which makes your data partition a bit bigger. Be careful if you are going to use that, as it will delete all your data, it also needs root.
    This is a nice thread for learning about rooting and stuff:

    And here is a guide for using the rooted apps2sd:

    Take extra care with these stuff tho, backup whenever possible during the process.

    yea, manufacturer syncing software is usually crap. There are some good 3rd party stuff like MyPhoneExplorer or Android PC Suite. You don't even need a syncins software, you can add your music, videos and other data manually, it's usually easier.
  7. It's nice to be able to sync your some iTunes playlist and stuff That's the company that wins again... iTunes is great to sync with.

    Also, thanks for that oter stuff. I'll look into it if it becomes necessary.

    Ali - that's the way I usually like to sync to non-Apple devices by just drop-dragging. That way I have full control over what gets synced and what doesn't - especially if you have a limited amount of capacity.

    (BTW haven't heard from you in ages, how you been?)
  9. Ali - nah, I got it that time, thanks!!
  10. Drew - Yea. The same for me, it's easier. I've been fine, some personal issues that kept me from visiting here, but I'm back and loving it

    Dan - I'm glad

    Olof - iTunes IS the better syncing software, after all Apple is mainly a software company whereas Sony, Samsung, etc. are hardware companies. But, the forced use of syncing software is a loss for Apple.
  11. Anyone feel like talking head/earphones? I need new ones.

    Or wait, I realized I'll just buy an adapter and then my Sennheiser 238i headphones should work with my Xperia.
  12. Sennheiser are the way to go when talking about earphones, yes. Even the basic HD201 (available everywhere for 15€ or less) are superior to most of the usual competitors.
