I want to buy the matte screen protector but i got a screen protector built in the phone so how do i remove it?
why do u want to buy a new one,when u already have one????
Think of how you would apply one, then reverse the procedure.
I removed it, but it took some time, because it's very thick. Just take your time, use a nail in the corner and be very patience.

yup it's quite sticky unlike the 3rd party screen protector, you may ask a favor from a girl to peel it for you coz their long nails will easily do the job.

Don't remove it, just put the new one over the top.

will it not hinder the touch sensitivity?

As an alternative point of view: DONT just put the new one over the top, remove the old one first. I've seen a couple of posts where people have layered screen protectors (usually because they didnt know it came with one factory fitted) complaining about touchscreen sensitivity.
I mean, it could work fine for you with 2 layers, but if it doesnt you're out the cost of one screen protector.
Use sticky tape to peel it off.
@Chunster :- what is sticky tape????

Just scortch tape.
Tape on ur protector, and then pull out your protector by pulling the tape. Works for me all the time.

Yes, same as me
I recognized the factory applied screen proctector after i have installed the second that was found in the box and after reading here a few weeks ago
Now i removed the second and only use the factory apllied one. And it does a quite good job. I don´t know if other ones would be "better" but the factory applied one is good enough for me and does what it shall do: Protecting the screen
Even the X10 comes with a pre installed screen protector. My Arc has 2 screens protectors , The one which came as pre installed and I applied the other one over the pre installed protector.
About the sensibility, personally, it's a lot sensible than the X10 (even though I have 2 protectors )
Hi, anyone used a waterproof casing for the Arc S? Off skiing in Jan and want to take my phone, but don't want to get it wet.
I was looking at the Kursell SealABox, but it looks like a general purpose case, so not sure how usable the phone is inside it.
Looking for someone that's got xperience of this.
Thanks.
definitely I should get one for me.. but maybe its too late, after I dropped it into the toilet haha, shame :C
if you can probably wait a little more, i've heard zagg is commin up with a spray on waterproofing thing they call HzO... *not meant to advertise...

im still waiting for mine to ship over

Xperia Blog reported an Elecom waterproof case for the arc long back. I'm guessing it should be out by now.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/06/28/elecom-set-to-release-waterproof-case-for-the-xperia-arc/
I've used Aquapac cases for years and never had a leak.. Spent a whole summer swimming with my x10mini in one.. Phone stays fully functional, optical plastic so photos come out good and touch screen works through the plastic. Sound wasn't affected too much either so I could still take calls.. However I recommend a good bt headset for skiing.. Nothing like music while you ski.

Hello fellow Acro S users. Can I ask what method you've used to root the Acro S. I have seen the method for the SO-03D. I wonder if It's the same as the Acro S.
Btw, so far i'm very satisfy with this fone. Very smooth and stable. Three front touch buttons no longer clumsy as the Xperia S. MicroSD Slot. Water resistant and strong design. What's not to love.
And mind is black. I wanted a white but they don't have have one for me :crying:
I'm wondering...since the phone is named "LT26w" and the Xperia S is "LT26i" might it be possible to flash the Xperia S ROMs and Kernels to Acro S too?

The SO-03D (Japanese version of the Acro S) can be flashed with Xperia S Rom. I am pretty much sure that the Acro S can do too.

This sounds like good news. I will try when I get the Acro S next week. A custom ROM flashed with CWM won't hurt anyone, I guess
Hey i read on a site that the phone is good but it's not as beautiful as it looks on pictures, is it true? I want to have one actually I have Xperia S now
I live in NYC just picked up a white LT26w yesterday from [email protected] Pretty fast and smooth, but my Galaxy S2 running AOKP seems a bit quicker.
I have a few issues with buttons and skinned ICS.
I was also hoping for the camera to be better. It seems the lens and sensor are OK, but the camera app is crap. AF isnt good, bad UI and a little buggy.
One thing I love is the waterproof design. Looks great and I used it in the pool taking underwater photos on and off today for about and hour total. As long as the waterproofing doesnt fail easily ill be happy with this phone.
One bad thing about wet finger tracking is tyat any water that drops or initally touches the screen registers a click.

Yeah, that thing is bugging me too. You need to clean the screen to get rid of the water to use the touch screen accurately again. But It's not as bad as the 3 front touch buttons of the Xperia S.

Did you receive it in its original box? I really dont think they would sell it without the dock since.. it lets you just charge it without having to pop off the MicroUSB cover each time, keeping the waterproof seal healthy.

I have the original box, user manuals, a EP800 charger, USB cable but not the dock. In Vietnam I didn't see any shops or retailers who offer the Acro S with a dock. And yes, I definitely love the water proof feature and the strong body design of this phone. But don't worry, i'll buy a dock charger soon, with a silicon case and screen protector :fingers-crossed:

Hello,
It's still sealed I hope, but the cover isn't aligned with the two other covers next to it. It's maybe 0.5mm higher than the others. Wonder how long the usb-seal will last.

Do you know how to remove the USB cover completely to fit in a new one? As it is attached to the phone with a plastic tubular like string.
Thank you.
No, sorry I do not. Looks like the phone has to be taken a part.
There is a youtube video that shows how to replace it on Experia S. I would think it's the same on Acro S.
