[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Gee thanks SE - turns out this app does not work on the Arc. So here are 2 questions:

1. does anyone use the SE Sync service? Would it have saved the SMS?

2. Does anyone know of a way to read/decrypt the backup file so I can extract some raw text?
[Xperia Arc General] TheAptPupil:
It has already been said on the Sony Ericsson developers blog that the Sony Ericsson backup and restore app is incompatible with gingerbread. It has been stated that 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 will not have the backup and restore app, so I would recommend you try one of the other apps on the marketplace that will work on gingerbread
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
I don't read the SE developer's blogs.

I have an X10 backup file that I'm looking to decrypt - once I've done that and saved what needs saving I can use the regular apps.
[Xperia Arc General] TheAptPupil:
If I was able to link you- I would, but this is a secondary account after my primary account email got deleted and I forgot my password to my primary account.

the only way I know around this is to get another app that does backup and restores and use that. there is plenty available on marketplace
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Yes but they can't read the SE file... I traded in my X10 for a big discount on the Arc so I don't have it handy...
[Xperia Arc General] TheAptPupil:
that would be because the SE backup and restore tool encrypts its backups. I do not know how to decrypt it
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
That's exactly what I'm asking... How to decrypt it. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] TheAptPupil:
No idea whatsoever, sorry
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Why don't you phone SE for support, or take your SD card to a local shop/ service centre... get them to help you?
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
That's the first thing I did - They've given me the run-around. Bloody annoying.

What I'll probably do is go to the shop I got the Arc from and ask to borrow their display X10 for a few minutes. :P
[Xperia Arc General] TheAptPupil:
thats about all you can do. I would prefer SOny Ericsson did what they did to release the handset earlier. The last thing we want is a 7 month delay over something so insignificant
[Xperia Arc General] pierreti:
I used Backup and Restore version 010935 to restore just my sms messages when migrating from my X10 to my Arc.

Contacts were pulled from my Google account, and the only thing i really wanted was my sms messages.

Others have reported success restoring other data, but it is not advised to restore system settings, because obviously, it's not the same system.

Got a lot of the info from this SE forum: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/65988

You can get the file here.

It has been suggested to download the program directly from SE's site, but that link doesn't really work. This is the APK that somebody extracted.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] is95kiko:
Hello

I have AT&T version of Atrix (ordered unlocked from ebay) and I don't have AT&T sim card. Phone is rooted and running 4.1.57.

My operator uses internet.saunalahti as an APN and nothing else works.

I see that AT&T has done some checks that one cannot create mobile hotspot without tether plan. But my operator has no restrictions on tethering, mobile hotspot does not start and complains that I need the plan from AT&T.

Is there any way to modify that mobile hotspot so it does not check anything when started? Can I adb pull hotspot files, edit and push back?

Is there any other application, that provides this? I tried android-wifi-tether from code.google.com but it crashes when I try to use it.

Another thing is 3G/EDGE/GPRS. I have played a little with ZTE Blade with android 2.1, it was possible to adjust wether to use 3G or sometimes only EDGE/GPRS, but I cannot find any settings regarding that from the Atrix. Is this some kind of AT&T thing, that user is not able to select lower than 3G or Android 2.2 feature?

Otherwise nice phone, these operator customizations are not nice when using with other SIM.

Edit: With older firmware 4.1.26 this worked, if I remember correctly it did check but it passed.

I tried to add APN Type : default,tether,internet,supl,mms

but this 3G to stop working, I have to find out what are needed for my operator.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
I was told if you add "tether" to the APN type field so it would look like:

APN Type : default,tether,internet,supl,mms

Of course yours might not have so many options
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OngPangTau:
I have kind of a similar problem here too…I got my Motorola Atrix 4G (unlocked) from a dealer. I rooted my phone by using the “Super One Click v1.7” and has setup everything as according to my operator requirements as well as set the “APN Type: default,tether,internet,supl,mms”…

However, it just won’t work after selected the WiFi hotspot check-box. I just notice a message shows “Setting up data link” and it never goes off there! (P/S: I have to switch-off/on my phone in order to disable this “Setting up data link”). I then Google and managed to find the “Android-WiFi-Tether” APK which required a “root” device BUT after received the “systems updates”…everything gone…I lost my “rooting” capability…

I just read from a source that this latest update will patch the exploit “psneuter”…Is there any others alternative solution to “root” it again? Herewith my phone details: - (after system updates)

(i)	System version: 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US

(ii)	Android version: 2.2.1

(iii)	Baseband version: N_01.77.07P

(iv)	Motorola webtop version: OSHWT_U1_4.257.19

(v)	Kernal version: 2.6.32.9-00005-gde8e6dcfpgh@ca25rhe85 #1

SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 1 09:17:07 PST 2011

(vi)	Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.5.7

Hope to hear some good news…Thanks.

[Wildfire General] dzull habib:
does anybody know how to optimize the performance of our gpu, the adreno 200 by qualcomm? some said this gpu is strong enough for mobile gaming. theres has to be some kind of tweak for it maybe?

just curios :D
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
The Wildfire most certainly does not have an Adreno 200 GPU. It is actually the Desire and the Wildfire S which does.

I am assuming you are getting this info from GSMArena. They have mixed up the GPU Specs of the Wildfire and the Wildfire S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saudkhan:
Hi,

I was wondering if there is anyway u can install a new camera apk on my nexus s. One which has all camera functions and 720p recording atleast. I found a camera apk called miuicamera but I can't seem to be able to install it :( any help will be very much appreciated.

Btw I have rooted my nexus s but still can't manage to install that camera apk.

Thanks!

Saud
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Just by installing a camera.apk that has the 720p video recording option does not make you have that function. For one the NS is said to not have the hardware for 720p, but keep in mind that was also said about the N1(Nexus One) . Maybe a dev can get it to work, but it wont be as easy as just installing a different camera.apk.

Have you flashed stock gingerbread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x72GYx:
You need to flash stock Gingerbread first.

This has to do with the bootloaders, Darky's v10.0 RC3 requires Gingerbread bootloaders.

If you flash your device with Darky's v10.0 RC3 without the bootloaders, it will not work.

[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
Is the notification light visible while looking at the phone from the front? From what I hear the location of the light is on the top of the phone and not on the face like all phones i've ever owned.

So if the phone is laying down with the screen up but the top side away from you, could you see if you have a txt or email while your phone is in silent mode?

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
I just tried it and... No, you actually CAN'T see it if you're looking from the front onto the device and the room is well-lit. On the plus side, the LED does support the full RGB-Color spectrum including white.

Oh snap. Well thank you for reporting that bit of info.

I have some problem with GMail app. When label in Gmail has "Sychronize 4 days" option, everything is OK, but when I open label that has no synchronize option, it just shows "Loading conversations..." and nothing happens. Sometimes it ends in "No connection". I tried to clear data of GMail app, it didn't help. Official solution is to clear data of "Gmail storage" app, but I can't see it on Droid.

Do you have any ideas?

[Surround General] xtian63:
ok heres my thing since my HTC Tanager, i love watching movies and vids on my phone from the Tanager to the XDA Mini to my HD2 and i want the thing as loud as possible not to use the headset but the loudspeaker and i use PocketDIVX to increase the native volume of the stuff i put on my phone loud enough but not to distort, simply because im a DOUCHE when it comes to it, i wait in line in a fastfood watching movies or anywhere i have to wait in line for(except for the bank coz ive had a couple of run ins with bank security) and i do want them as loud as possible i live in the philippines but im in california right now, to say not a lot of people have smartphones yet is an understatement considering most people still own Nokia or SE phones that dont even have GPRS, so when i go home n august i wana have a surround for the same old douchie reason that i can watch movies on my phone without needing any speakers

i have tried it out in ATT stores and i like the solid feel and i really dont care about amoled
[Surround General] oOLaStBrEaThOo7:
I have a Surround and i'm on the fourth one. If you want loud this is a great phone but if your going for an all around good phone I would go for Android. Maybe im just unlucky but im very disappointed with this phone.
[HD2 General] dualboo:
I bought a second hand HD2 for my parents which has all this Telstra stuff in there running at Winmob 6.5. I would like to load a clean operating system for their phone because they are overwhelmed by all this Telstra stuff. They are not even using Telstra. The HD2 is an unlocked Australian Telstra model which I am unsure as to whether that is still called Leo.

Which of the Android hacks are solid and everything works on the HD2 when installed with no bugs or issues?

Which Winmob 7 root is free and I can install on the HD2 where it runs the phone fully with no bugs or issues?

Which Winmob 6.5 root that is free that I can install on the HD2 where it runs the phone fully with no bugs or issues?

If you can provide links, would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
[HD2 General] boomboomer:
spend some time searching and reading, you are looking for the 'holy grail' of smart phones and I wish you luck. If your parents find additional content hard to manage they are unlikely to cope with a custom ROM, best buy them a simpler phone that just does what they require straight from the box.
[HD2 General] treo...not!:
I'm looking for the Loch Ness monster, the ark, and King Solomon's mines. Any links would be appreciated. :) Seriously, what you are asking for is a difficult, possibly impossible thing. All roms have issues and if your parents are overwhelmed by a stock rom, chances are, anything on xda will be a challenge. Having said that, I think that a basic Android nand rom might work. Several are available in that subforum. You might have to engage in some trial and error to find the right fit, though.
[HD2 General] Buxpo:
I think one of the best rom for now is HyperDroid , it is very nice very smooth and so far i know had no any problems for me . Everything works just fine :p

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=918899
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Why would you say that a custom ROM usually has all of the unwanted bloatware removed and are smoother than any stock ROM. They also give you better access to controls on your HD2 and most of the time better functionality than wioth stock ROMs.

At the OP yes you are looking for the holy Grail LOL :p........ A ROM is something that is more of a personal preference than just good or not good. what one person may like in or about a ROM someone else might hate. As treo...not! said you wioll have to just go through and test a ROM and see what you think, "Trial and error." The Hyper Droid ias good though it is what I am running noe on my HD2. check my sig for a link to it and other things too lol.
[HD2 General] bbot3k:
nexushd2-gingerbread v2.5 is simple and clean. no problems.
[HD2 General] THUDUK:
I would suggest WP7, simple easy to use, highly stable, more stable than any OP I have ever used and hav tried all even dare I say it iOS. I have dual boot Wp7/android and I use wp7 90% of the time, re only thing that might happen to them is a slighlty blurred photo.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
You are going to have some issues with any ROM. I suggest that you install a clean WM6 (I use NRG), then customize the Sense tabs so that they have only the ones they actually use. That should be stable and easy to use.

If they have trouble with that, I think that WP7 is probably the easiest to use in terms of the interface, but from what I have read it can be difficult to get the HD2 WP7 burn officially recognized as a valid WP7 installation, so that the marketplace & etc can be used effectively. You can look at the HD7 forum for more information.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry but if he wants to put WP7 on his parents HD2 he needs to go to HD2 Windows Phone 7 this has all the info iun these forums for running WP& on the HD2. Also check out the little guide I wrote on HSPL, MAGLDR, and CWM linked in my sig. YOU don't use CWM with WP& but the rest you do, I even have a link to a good guide to installing WP7 on the HD2 at the top beginning of my guide.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I think you are replying to my post, and you appear to agree with my statement "go to the WP7 forum"...
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well I was not exactly agreeing with you about the WP7 but you had told him to go to the HD7 forums and I just wanted to correct that as the HD7 forums would really be of no help to him. But I know it was a honest mistake.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typingcat:
My situation the same as that another man in the following post has.

(I am new and unable to embed outside URL's in my post. Please search Google for 'when switch to 32 bit graphics icons go black'.)

I am porting Android to a MIPS-based device. After modifying the frame buffer and gralloc, the wallpaper is displayed in the correct colours. But all widgets are black.

Since the frame buffer's post() function just received composed data, and the wallpaper's colour is correct, I guess the code that draws widgets has some problems. This may be the display data I set is different (or wrong) from what the code expects.

If it is not too much trouble, could you give me any hint about the files I should check? Or which files are related to drawing widgets?

I have spent a few days debugging this but there was no progress.
