Hmm. Just noticed something annoying with my Arc: advertising & box list it as having 1 GB of RAM, but the Settings->Apps->Running meter (and CPU-Z) show it as having only 680 MB total. I don't suppose anyone happens to know where the extra 344 MB is hiding, eh?

It's an Android thing. The meters show the total ram available to apps after the system claims its chunk, not the total physical ram. My Galaxy Note shows 1.79Gb total ram, but physically it has 2Gb.

Meh. And now my Arc just spontaneously rebooted for the 3rd time today. Guess I'd better remove CPU-Z, the only app I've installed in the last two weeks, though several have updated in that time (only Google apps, though). If removing it doesn't stop the reboots, then I will be saddened and VERY pissed that it's lasted only 8 months. :/
EDIT: Just had my 4th spontaneous reboot. :/ Really annoying. Currently updating to the last system update (avoided updating because people said there were problems). Probably won't help. EDIT 2: And spontaneous reboot 5 less than 10 minutes after I finished the update and had rebooted again for good measure. Last edited by JD Gumby; 06-15-2013 at 05:30 PM. |

Mine showed the same ram. Always annoyed as my one x advertises 1 GB ram and shows that. I Don,t use my arc much now. Bought the Asus fonepad and haven't looked back. Great bit of kit. Already had 4 updates to fix minor bugs and running 4.1.2 with no doubt it'll get 4.2 and a far greater chance of root. Shame as the arc had potential.

Hi. My kobo arc has stopped letting me read the book I've been happily reading. I got to the end of the chapter and now it won't advance to the next page/chapter. I just get a blank page with a grey swirly thing going round. Doesn't matter how long I eave it, it still doesn't bring up the page.
I've also tried choosing to read another book that I had in my library, a purchased one from kobo, and these won't lad either. Does anyone know why this is happening nd what I can do to fix it? I font want to do a factory reset if I can help it. Thanks |

Dellboy67,
I've found the best way is to access either Dropbox or Sugarsync via a browser and not the apps and that should allow you to simply download the file. Once you've downloaded your epubs it's a simple matter of doing an import in the Library and agreeing to the dialog asking you if you want to remove the downloaded files. Hope that fixes the issue for you. |

Good afternoon ,
I buy yesterday a Kobo arc . I have many problems... 1. You can not search in your library a book by the name or by the author ... 2. I try to organize my books to"shelves" (because there isn't search option) and after 5 minutes that i complet the shelve and everything seems ok , the books disappears and the shelve stay empty ... Does anyone have the same problem with the shelves ? |

For questions about the Kobo app, you might want to post in the main Kobo forum rather than here (since your question isn't Arc-specific).

Anything?
Well her I go. My arc developed a strange problem a few weeks ago. I can no longer get audio from media through the speakers. Audio for notifications and alarms come through the speakers fine. I am Abe to get media audio through headphones. I repeatedly tried the audio volume controls but to no avail. I even tried a system reset. Do you have any ideas?

Have you tried looking in settings, sound > volumes? There are 3 individual settings there.

Yes and the media volume there also controls media volume for speakers and headphones volume. Headphones are fine. As I say, it is a strange one. By media, I mean, in-game/app sounds, music, web sounds, YouTube. My notifications for incoming mail etc. work fine.
Actually, I can't hear the keyboard "tick" either. Sent from my Arc using Tapatalk 4 Beta |

You should call Kobo support. The only other suggestion I have is rebooting.

Well I have it working sporadically. Seems to be a hardware issue. The headphone jack ( or is that Jill) maybe dirty. It seems to get stuck thinking the headphone are plugged in when they are not. Apparently the notifications and alarms come through the speakers regardless of whether the headphones are plugged in or not. I plan on giving it a proper cleaning this weekend.
