Xperia™ arc S - Connectivity

[@sonyericssonsupport]

We're glad to know you like the phone so much! Enjoy it :) -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

We are glad to know you enjoy it so much and thanks for recommending it :) -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@aamirq Just to clarify the Arc S is LT18. And yes, both the "i" and the "a" version support tethering. Thanks for the suggestion, let me pass that to the appropriate department to see if it can be done. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Hi Ryan, you can try to reset the router at home and try to connect one more time. -Rachell

[@sonyericssonsupport]

You have to enter the proper internet settings on your phone, to do this go Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names>Menu>New APN. Once you set it up select the option Data Enabled under Mobile networks and it should be working properly. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@TheSemaazify I did reply in your previous post and this was my answer.  If you mean how to mute an incoming call without rejecting a call then you have to press the Volume button. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Hi Marco. I'm sorry to hear that. You should check your network mode, access point names and verify data traffic is enabled. For further assistance please contact our Sony support team. Our numbers are in the website. - Andrés

[@sonyericssonsupport]

I'd suggest to try updating your home router's software just to confirm if that is some kind of compatibility issue. -Josh

If you want to change it you can install a Launcher app from the Play Store that has the option to customize the UI. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Hi Muhallab, Try resetting the settings on the phone, if still happening, try a software repair. -Rachell

[@anorthosismaxhtec94]

thank you a lot !!:) ..You help me too much..!!!

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@TheLovenokia Are you trying with a mobile data connection (2G/3G) or through a Wi-Fi connection? -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@forgiabottle If you are far from the router then it will be weak. Try to be as close to the router as possible to ensure better Wi-Fi connection. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Hi Kevin, contact your local Sony Mobile office to see if you can get this phone through them. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Since when are you having this issue? Have you tried doing a factory data reset on the phone? -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

The update available for this phone is ICS. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@Nydracommander Have you tried connecting to more than one WI-Fi network? --Josh

[@mafm00dy]

Nice Info , thx

[@IAMNINJA159]

How is the wifi speed and download speed? What is your average mbps? I am getting one soon but people say that the wifi on the phone is the SLOWEST out of the phones. How far can you go before it drops? Any other phone or device u think the wifi is the same? Thx

[@sabirzamandailyvlog]

Awesome 👌

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@IAMNINJA159 Wi-Fi speed will only depend on the speed of the network that you are connected to. So if you are connected to a fast network then your internet will be fast. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

I'm sorry Sofiane but could you please specify what do you mean by unlocking the phone? -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Do you mean that the apps are force closing on your phone? -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Yes, you can use it either as a USB modem or a portable Wi-Fi™ hotspot. -Nessa

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@anorthosisole1 Glad to know! Whenever you have a question feel free to ask :) -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@MegaAsyar What do you want to know about the phone? -Josh

[@DrSAM69]

are wireless keyboards and mouse compatible? or you must use usb host?

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Yes Beverly this phone has a microphone. -Josh

[@IAMNINJA159]

How is the wifi strength and download speed? I am about to get one but many people said that the wifi has the SLOWEST download speed(from android market). Please respond, because i wont have a data plan.
