[Q] Is the xperia arc good without data plan? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am getting a new phone, and I want to get the Xperia Arc!
So what I want to know is, will I be able to experience it to it's fullest without a data plan? I do have wifi at my home so I can use all the data plan features there correct? And also, are there many apps available for this device?
Thanks!

The Arc is a great phone, you will not be dissapointed!

Smartphones without data plan don't make sense imo.
You use them to be online everywhere.
But of course you can do that, but data isn't expensive these days.

It depends what you want to do with the phone, and how often you're likely to want to use it when you're out of wifi range!
And I don't know what's wrong with poker gypsy's phone but my battery life is great and I'm on the very latest firmware.. 4.0.A....

I've reflashed to 3.0.1 yesterday (Nordic Generic with Wotanserver) and then did the upgrade to 4.0 with SEUS and I must say the battery percentage indicator is more accurate (it doesn't stay at 100% for a few hours anymore) but the battery life is not that much worse actually. Maybe it'll result in one or two hours less per charge but it's still sufficient for me to get through the day without ever disabling data or WiFi, and I have full sync on for a lot of stuff.

I don't agree with that. You are saying that getting new car with out driver makes no sense?
You can use driver to drive you anywhere you want (and can drink when you have a driver )?
Lot's of countries have free wi-fi this day and age all over the place, so you can still benefit from having smart phone.
The only thing that you miss on is the advertisement in apps that are "free" IMO.

We also have a lot of free Wi-Fi hotspots here in Germany.
But they aren't that save and not everywhere like in school etc so I'm one of the guys who want mobile data.

It's not if you don't update... And if the OP is not a maniac and forces an update that is not available for his region, he will probably wait until it comes to him, by then it may be fixed....

Agree with that, also switched from iPhone and didn't look back.

Just get a Neo and invest the difference in a proper data plan. You'll be much better off than hopping from WiFi to WiFi with an Arc.

I'm going to get my daughter an android phone for her birthday, without a data plan (as it happens).. and the reason I'm doing that is because she asked for an iPod touch.. I figured she'd be better getting an android phone and having access to all the free apps that you can't get on itunes!.. She doesn't need a phone really.. she's only 9!

So basically an Andropod with phone capabilities.

use wifi for internet downloading and its fine without a data plan. I very rarely use mine, always have about 80% data allowance left.
Also, the battery issues i had were linked to running apps, once i rooted it and got rid of some of the preinstalled garbage, the battery life was good. Been running all day since 6am connected to hsdpa/edge and done a tiny bit of browsing, playing gangstar, listening to music for a little while (<30mins), its 7:30pm now and i have 58% left, so not so terrible

She probably won't need data if she is going to play with the Apps, but how much is the data plans where you are at?

I have a Neo without data plan, at work I can't use my phone, so it doesn't matter, on my bike I just listen music on my phone, and you can cache maps i.e. with the Google maps app to use them outdoors.
Only con is you don't have the latest social media and news updates outdoors, but that's it. If you're not used to internet everywhere, you won't mind not having it I think.
It saves me €10 a month, I use prepaid, and I can have 200mb a month for €10 if I want, just for a single month (no contract). I have prepaid with Hi in The Netherlands(www.hi.nl).
I'd say:buy it simlock free, try it, you can always decide to take a data plan.

Free tether to ps3

Wondering if we can tether ps3 for free using the sprint evo 4g? Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Yes you can tether to your ps3 for free as long as your rooted. But I wouldn't recommend unless you have full bars on 4g or the lag will be unbearable. Also don't do it to much cause it uses A LOT of data and might look suspicious

You probably can, if you have gingerbread and/or a phone capable of wireless tethering. Just try it out

they can tell your tethering if your barely using a any data then jump to about 10GB randomly. They can terminate your contract without warning(not that bad lol)
I tether my ps3 for black ops,mw3 and bf3 with only 2-3 bars and its fine. I would say as long as you're pulling down at least 1mb a sec you should be fine. You can play an hour or 2 and only use like 50mb give or take.

The problem with tethering a phone to a game system is the lag. Ping times on 3g and even 4g can average 200ms, even go up to 1000ms, which would make any game (especially fps games) unplayable. And since it's a wireless signal, the speed and ping times will vary every single second, unlike a cable/dsl modem, which means you could play fine for a minute and then get a weak signal and your connection to the game will probably drop
they do stand by their unlimited data, but going form a cpl gb a month to 10 or more would raise concerns... and yes it is unlimited, but remember wifi hotspot is an add on feature. so actually you are stealing service.

It doesnt matter what it costs them... they and all other providers charge for this feature. So do you think its not stealing to put a splitter on a neighbors cable line and run it to your house? try that and see what happens. Im just saying if you do it and you data goes up by a crazy amount dont be surprised if something happens.

Ok really? Ok sprint, I pay you for unlimited data but hey I can't use my unlimited data because that's stealing. That's like saying hey, I pay for cable but I can't watch all my channels, or can only watch for a certain amount of time.

[Q] Lost job, no longer have service

As per the title, other than using my phone to play games and use wi-fi for apps, what should I do with my phone? I'm thinking of selling it but my three year old daughter loves it too much. I was thinking of trying to flash it to metropcs for the cheaper service but I don't want to brick my phone... Any advice? I wish there was a way to set up the ESPT settings to allow free data.. lol

I think he post just for fun nothing to do with proud thing
Cause I use more data than he does and not even one month.two more weeks left
I was pretty surprised that I've used close to amount (last I checked a few days ago, 50GB). No tethering no Torrenting. But it seems that the Gallery likes to use nearly 2GB of data in the background every time I set up a new ROM or Reflash. That plus all the Roms and re downloading of apps from the Store. And more recently, the purchase of a couple HD movies and a hand full of re downloads of the Avengers movie.
77Gb on HSPA+? Come to my area Whole brooklyn gets like 0-0.20Mbit, Loading Netflix or Youtube is virtually impossible here. Called T-mobile they said they're fixing tower, well 4 Months and still fixing it? Good thing I have pre-paid I can cancel any time

Question for you all: truly unlimited throttle

So about mud day yesterday, I was watching YouTube, all of a sudden everything started buffering no matter what video I watched. Downloaded a couple files and speeds were only 30kB/s. Didn't think anything of it. Thought it was the host. Didn't do much else but use tapatalk and noticed things were a but slow. Did a speed test and it shot up to like 300kB/s then hovered around 30-50kB/s felt that awfully strange.. as that's what would happen on my old throttle plan.
So I went to bed not thinking of it.
Got up this morning and speeds were the same. Stayed the same for the entire day til I got fed up and called T-Mobile. They "said" I wasn't being throttled. And after I *****ed they "reset" my phone on their network and things were back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced like symptoms? I'd hate to think they went this low to throttle us..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Are you sure you have the truly unlimited 4G plan... Or the unlimited data with let's say 2gb, 5gb or 10gb of 4G data.
If you have the truly unlimited data then you shouldn't be throttled. But if you have one of the other three plans where they cap the 4G data then they throttle you after that certain point.
Or maybe t mobile was having issues with your tower and had to reset the connection?

It wasn't just my area though, both s2 and s3 showed same speeds. And yes I have the truly unlimited.

17 gigs? I really don't see how most people can go over 5 without tethering. I use my phone constantly and I've never gone over 2. Even with what I use on wifi, which might be another 2gb, is still not even 5gb's. So, I can only ASSUME you have been tethering, and they figured it out. That would explain the throttle.

You get 100 uses of tethering anyhow. Then they block you. But as psykhotic said get Netflix and watch HD movies and then tell me how much data you use. Not to mention you can download torrents via your phone. And I never use WiFi except for when transferring files to my phone.
But irregardless, it's unlimited, there shouldn't be a throttle period.

No not 100 uses of tethering.
You can use 100 MB before the block you if you already used the work around on the software they have on the phone.
The program by default on the phone though will actually block you right away.
Unless you use a custom APN then you get blocked after 100 MB.
If you change your User Agent on your browser the the User agent of the phone and you won't get blocked.

Soooo.... why not factory reset while on wifi? I don't understand why people treat the network as a substitute for a home network?
And streaming music doesn't use that much data, you'd have to watch 8 or 10 movies on Netflix to hit a gig. Don't tell me you watch 10 movies a week on your phone. I feel sorry for your eyes.
It is the abuse of the system that will do nothing but raise data rates for all of us. Thanks alot people, enjoy your rerun's of Charles in Charge.
Netflix even on the phone does use more then that. A 2 hour movie would be about 600 mb for that one move.
I use around 25gigs lol

[Q] data useage problem

Hi all, so I'm coming here from my htc evo 3d which was s-off rooted romed all that. I never noticed until I switched to my desire but it seems that my 3d doesn't send data useage back to virgin mobile! I have not once in over 2 years of use ever been throttled down, as a matter of fact never even went close to 1gb of data! Now I turned on my desire and got throttld in about 4 days into my plan! I use the tether alot, on my 3d I used wifi tether trev mod, but can't seem to get it working on the desire? Does anyone have any ideas how this happened to my 3d and more importantly how do I get my desire to do this!!!?
confirmed no data usage
Figured I'd update this and say that I've confirmed my evo 3d doesn't report data back to Virgin!! When using wifi tether I downloaded 2 movies to my laptop about 3.5gb of data, and nothing shows up on my account. I'm in my third week of my plan and have used only 4mb of data! I use pandora for hours ata time, Netflix like crazy, update and add new apps no data use! My desire ran it up to 2309.8mb in 4 days, switched back to my 3d three weeks ago downloaded almost 4gb of movies torrents to test and I'm at 2313.8mb! Unlimited, free data, no throttling! I wish someone would help me out with this! I'll supply backups, logcats whatever is needed!!! Someone must be interested in this!

If there is a way to bypass the data throttling it's most likely illegal, and is not allowed on these forums.
Buuuuutttt...
Its not really bypassing the throttling, I think somehow its just not telling virgin what its doing? When I logg into my virgin account to check how much data has been used it doesn't show any. How do they know how much your using? Your phone must report it back to them? Somehow mine isn't, maybe somekind of setting or program in the phone that says " ok, I'm on your network using this" and mine is shut off or not working? Idk, but I'm desperate to find out! If it can't go on forum, p.m. me or email me.

Nah, they do wi-max also. My girl gets throttled almost every month with her s2! Lol

So it's just your individual Evo 3d? Are you running a custom ROM of any sorts?
Yeah several, its rooted and s-off. I've run so many differnt ROMs I don't know if one of them did something that stuck? But I've also tried changing ROMs and it still does the same.

It's possible that a ROM did something. Or maybe your just a rare person who doesn't get throttled? Are you and your friend you mentioned with the s2 on the same plan/share an account?
Completly seperate prepaid accounts. The usaege screen on my phone shows that from 10/22-11/18 I've used 8.33MB of data, from 9/22-10/22 I used a whopping 99.94MB!! Thats not GB its MB, thats not even a quarter of a gb? And I know I've used alot more than that! I keep wifi off permanently, never use it.

I seem to remember seeing it mentioned in one rom (can't remember which one) it said it had htc logging turned off. Think that could have something to do with it?
