Has anyone tried SUES yet? To see if the 145 update is out?

Hi,
Just bought the arc from the O2 retail shop here in the UK.
Is it normal to have the Japanese and Chinese Keyboards preinstalled on the phone.
I also went on to SEUS and was offered the 2.3.3 update.
Thanks

Yeah Chinese, Japanese and maybe even Korean keyboards are normal on all the new FWs for xperia handsets.
Can anyone who's updated to the facebook/2.3.3 FW tell me, did you have to wipe the phone to do so?

I flashed the Hong Kong firmware and got the facebook integration along with it. The flashed firmware will wipe all your data so make sure you back up everything before starting. The phone is extremely fas t now and pretty much all bugs have been taken care of. If you guys have any questions i can help .

How does the Gapless Playback work?

@se_dude Thanks for the info. Just realised that because I unlocked my bootloader I'll have to go through flashtool anyway so clean install is a given. I was wondering if SEUS will wipe though. I read the update was available OTA which usually means update rather than clean install.

sorry but another issue with battery live, and not liking it
yesterday it was at 100% pretty much all day. mainly played a few games on it, nothing heavy at all. was on about 70%-80% i think when i went to bed, yet 8hrs later the battery is flat as a pancake.
nothing at all, so having to recharge again.
i have not rooted or anything so timescape is still on, which i kinda like but would replace if a similar app is known.
am weary of rooting as not fully understanding benefits and how to's and seen conflict on if seus works or not.
why is it so rubbish?

With the rooting confusion reports are conflicting because some are unlocking the bootloader and some are just rooting the FW. The difference is unlocking the bootloader will stop access to SEUS and is irreversible. Rooting is reversible and doesn't do anything to stop SEUS working. If you find a how-to on rooting make sure it doesn't require unlocking the bootloader and you'll be fine. The benefits are that you'll have access to apps that give you more control over your system and you can remove 'dead weight' apps.
In terms of the battery life, I've been reading that not just the camera but possibly the gallery don't turn off properly when exited and keep running, killing the battery. It's possible that this is a problem with just those two features or perhaps it's something deeper and when a certain script is run it doesn't close properly. It's possible that a particular game accesses this system code or it could simply be that you've pressed home instead of back and put the game in the background rather than close it fully. The new firmware supposedly has a lot of fixes in it so you should check that out too.
I'm certain the fault is software related as people are getting such varied results with the battery and under different circumstances. I hope the fix is imminent.

You are 100% right. It has nothing to do with battery itself.
I had my Arc for 40 days without reboot (working like charm).
But with quite heavy usage I could only get 15 hours on battery.
Now I rebooted few days ago and to my surprise I get like 30 hours with moderate usage. Or even more.
Today through the night it was 100% ALL THE TIME, now 93%, however before it was able to eat 30% on standby.
It's definitely some processes in the background. I look at this and started to use Advanced Task Killer too to see the difference.
