Same here, but I have know idea why.
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
I've been having this problem too, though only on certain encrypted networks it seems. I use WEP at home and run into a network error message almost every day. Have yet to see this error pop up on an open unencrypted network.

My work uses a WPA connection and never seems to have any issues, so I'm going to switch my home network to WPA and see if that helps. I did hear the 2.3.3 update addresses some wifi issues... so maybe it's just a matter of time and an update.
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
Get the issue here on the Market. only after awhile of searching through it.

Not a network/wifi issue, seems a few of us have the issue. Think that points more to Market or the way the handset communicates to it. No issue with browsing the web or downloading anything etc.

Doesn't bother me to much when i get the error i just move up and then back down and it loads more apps/games.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darnell_Chat_TN:
So after starting this thread it has raised a stir. And I wanted to point out why the data that Google collects from Android devices is in my own opinion not at all "anonymous" although it is claimed to be.

The WSJ article fully explains. Please read it in full but I'm just going to cite a short passage here and embolden a few words:

Apple does not collect the unique phone identifier in the data that they collect.

So Google is collecting location, unique ID, and if you sign into Google services they have your full account information and all within it. This means, via your phone ID that Google could very easily associate YOU PERSONALLY with the location data if they so choose. I know, they say they don't but it's one heck of a data mining marketer's dream to do it!

So I stop Android from phoning home.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Binary Ninja:
I agree i own both a iPhone and a Droid but the difference is the Unique Identifier being sent from some Droid phones ... The real question is what is this unique identifier that is being sent is it the IMEI or MAC address
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Looks like Google claims it's not the IMEI, according to this article: Google Responds To Smartphone Location Tracking Uproar, Says Android Is Opt-In

From the article:

That makes me wonder, why must they create this "unique identification number" at the device level in the first place? If they simply want a unique value in their database for incoming data, it's much cheaper and easier to assign the value inside Google within their own databases as each new report comes in. (RowID for example. You who do any database level programing know what I'm talking about.) Than to assign each device a "unique" identifier that is sent with other data each time. The fact the device is sending some sort of "unique" identifier is troubling. And it's the researchers that found the value sent is unique and could be used to identify a phone. So do I believe the researchers who first told us exactly what is being sent or Google, since Google didn't tell us exactly what was being sent till the researchers uncovered it? I suspect if anyone could overcome that "hard time associating", Google could, but that's that my opinion. They know what method they used to create the supposedly unique value and they know how "unique" it is in relation to a specific device. In all my years of software engineering, I can't see how it would be so "hard" for Google to associate all the data they're pulling in with a specific device and person.

I'll just keep my device from phoning such data to Google and leave it at that. I'm also finding my battery life and GPS lock times have improved since stopping Android from phoning home.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wrapper:
ROMs need to address this directly

Thanks for starting this thread. This is definitely an issue that we should be concerned about. I wasn't aware that Google was collecting more data than Apple, and your above point is very worrying!

I've asked this on the previous thread too, but I'm keen to see if/how ROM developers can directly manipulate Android to remove this malicious transmission to Google. How can we pressure them to do so? Beyond that, Google themselves need to be held accountable for this,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] highlandsun:
It actually makes perfect sense; when you're collecting all of this data from random phones, you need a way to vet the quality of the data. If some joker starts having fun and injecting bogus data into the uploads, they can eventually identify which phone the bad data came from and remove it all from their database. If the data is purely anonymous, with no ID tag whatsoever, it's much more difficult to maintain the quality of the data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cookie Ninja:
So, is there a way of "injecting" bogus data deliberately by phones to degrade Google's database? I've also read a report from a NCSU research team creating an application called TISSA for turning off or deliberately feeding misleading info for apps that try to read and transmit personal data. It says with development, this app will be launched on the Android market. Can such methods be used to 'rein in' Google?

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] highlandsun:
Of course there is. Just disable the phone-home connection while accumulating data in the cache (using iptables/DroidWall). Then edit the cache files, putting whatever you want in them, and then reenable the connection. The phone won't be able to send the data before you edit it, if you keep the connection locked down.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Apple has banned certain hackers from their app store. I'm not trying to send any bogus data to Google, because that might be the tipping point for them to try and ban my device.

Interestingly enough, Steve Jobs himself has come out to proclaim Apple does not track anyone, but he claims Android does: Steve Jobs: Apple doesn't track anyone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deejaylobo:
Don't iPhones have IMEIs too? Apple have denied using it. So have Google. As far as Google services go, Apple have your info through their store. What's the difference?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Read through the earlier posts for details.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deejaylobo:
Yes, and despite Google denying using unique identifiers with their data you are of the opinion that they do. But, you believe that Apple does not use unique identifiers based on what? Them saying so?

Nexus SuperAosp
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Not based on them saying so at all. Please read in full the article that I've cited, which is the account of 3rd party researchers who looked into what the devices are actually sending. Read the article and view the video on that page as well. Both provide details into the research that was performed and the findings of that research.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deejaylobo:
Just a small update. Once again, Google deny using unique identifiers.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vasra:
I wonder what came of TISSA? I can't find any release information on it. Just the paper:

http://t.co/Rsuq4L2

Also TaintDroid code is still not widely available in custom kernels or as an add-on module, which is quite sad.

We all know the Android privacy and security are quite bad and all Google does is clean up after-the-fact.

Are there any new developments in this arena that users can deploy themselves?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UGPhilosopher:
thanks for this info and the iptables tip above. I think I'll add a log and check it after about a week. I'm real curious as to what info my device is sending out and how much.

There has been started a rumor.

Supposedly a Samsung employee tweeted that he was making a video call on a Nexus S running 2.3.4.

2.3.4 will probably be announced next month in San Fransisco at Google I/O 2011.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justice26:
I was trying to sync my g2x phone to my uconnect on my dodge. It dials but completely mutes the call. Then it s shutdown the bluetooth on my phone. I tried out on my wifes g2 and would reboot the phone when I tried to shut down the blue tooth. I had to reformat her phone to stop that. We have 2 g2x phones. Again will sync but crashes after that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smitty24:
I can't even get mine to pair with my Subaru BT. It see it, tries to connect then says incorrect pin but doesn't even prompt me to enter one. Its like there is one already stored for it, but its never pairs since day one...not sure what's wrong. I've factory reset once too. Hmmm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justice26:
I think there is a problem with the blue tooth in these phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] os91:
Its connecting fine to my Samsung headset. I currently am using the bluetooth to watch a movie.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] radarweave:
I just got the G2X myself and so far I'm blown away by it except for the BT issue....

I use my phone with NO ISSUES on my Jawbone Era, but the SYNC in my F150 doesn't like it.

It's strange, the phone drops the BT connection yet still shows (icon at top) that it's connected. But under settings it's not.

Once this happens you would think you could stop / start the BT but nope! Gotta reboot the whole phone.

Anyone have any resolution to the issue? Hoping that the new GINGERBREAD once released will resolve the issue.

I've noticed that it seems to be related to data though, seems that my SYNC trying to sync the contacts is when it flips out... I'm going to disable the contact sync and see if it stays attached. I'll post my results soon...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Works in my Infiniti, better than the G2 did. Do your cars try to find the phone or does the phone have to find the car? Mine's the latter. When pairing, the phone actually pops up "Invalid PIN" and then a second later it pops up a screen that allows me to enter the car's PIN. It's as if the phone's sending a PIN without me entering it. You might want to try setting the car's PIN to 0000 or 1234 and see if one of those two codes are what the phone's first trying to transmit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] radarweave:
I can go either way, find the car or have the car find the phone.

I'll try using default codes 0000 1234 as you suggested... Mine does connect and pair, but then later on just drops the car like a bad habbit and I have to reboot the phone for any BT device (headset or car) to reattach. Almost like a service gets locked or something....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justice26:
Does anyone have a fix for this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icase81:
Less issues with the G2x on my 2010 Ford Focus with SYNC than with my Nexus S. It seems it doesn't always reconnect properly upon start up, even though the car thinks they're connected, but that is only streaming. Phone calls always work fine. The Nexus S had all kinds of problems if you had WiFi turned on.

*sigh*

My iPhone4 had almost zero with the BT, but every time a major iOS release came out, I'd have some connection issues. However, Ford would then release a SYNC update and everything would be fine again. I'm guessing that NO ONE is following the BT standard as closely as they should, and that causes issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justice26:
The phone does seem to be half finished. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justice26:
The phone seems to be half finished. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darkmoone:
I have a 2010 F150 and I'm having the same issues with Bluetooth and this phone.

Initially it attached fine and downloaded my phone book but now it disconnects and leaves BT on the G2x in a funky state.

I'm kind of hoping that Gingerbread will have an update, but I don't know I want to wait that long. I'll be touching base with the T-Mobile store about this.

If you have any updates with your truck let me know. I'd be happy to only use this for the phone for a short period of time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikett26:
I synced my phone to my car on the first day w/o any issues.

The car's phone setup menu did not find the phone. I had the option to either choose a fixed pin or a random pin. I chose a fixed pin and then went to my phone to search for the car.

It found the car in seconds and I paired it with the phone using the pin I inputed initially from the car setup.

I was able to download my phonebook with no issues and it only took about a minute or less. It couldn't download my entire phonebook, but that was just because of my car's inadequate space. I'd imagine with a 12.5GB hard drive in my car that wouldn't be a problem, but oh well.

Also, phone quality is great, reception is great, the quality on the other end is great as well. The best thing is that the G2x actually notifies me during a call if I have an incoming call/text/email...something my G1 couldn't do while paired to my car.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
What kind of car? The various head units have different Bluetooth implementations. My Infiniti (and I'm assuming Nissan's) work fine. We've heard that Ford and Subaru don't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I don't know if those of you who can't connect have tried this but it might be worth a shot. Change the name of the phone in Bluetooth settings. Turn Bluetooth off and on and/or reboot the phone until that name sticks. For some reason, it would either go back to "T-Mobile G2x" or show that the phone had no name until it finally stuck.

The Bluetooth profile/stack in the phone is buggy. It'll either drop the profile completely or randomly drop a device. If I reboot the phone sometimes they come back and sometimes they don't. The profile for my car didn't show in settings but the car connected to the phone anyway. :rolleyes: It will sometimes play phone sounds through my speakers or headset and other times it won't with none of the settings changed in any way.

I hope either an update or Gingerbread help stabilize Bluetooth.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikett26:
Acura. So yeah it seems Infiniti/Nissan and Acura/Hondas are fine. Before I got the Acura I had a Nissan and it was able to sync my G1 w/o issues as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
Yeah the bluetooth on this phone is a little funky when trying to connect to my kenwood kdc-bt945 system, whereas the nexus s worked much smoother.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] radarweave:
Think it's a hardware bug for the Ford stuff? I'm thinking it's not, I'm thinking that it's actually a software issue givin the profile weirdness.

Perhaps one of the gods here will have a rom out soon with better BT drivers / managment in it then what's on stock. I wish I knew more about rom cooking cause then I could work on whipping up a batch of gingerbread cookies.

I miss my Sync and now debating on taking the phone back under remourse and going back to my Vibrant 3G.

Other than this BT issue I love my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] radarweave:
Given that someone else is having SYNC issues with this phone maybe I shouldn't return it under remourse for another one but simply wait and see what happens. Any thoughts??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icase81:
Have you checked on Syncmyride.com for SYNC updates? This fixed a few issues I've had over the past 2 years with my Focus.

Hi Guys,

I often use default wm Notes program in my htc.

Recently i thought about creating a simple and pretty program with htc manila style, instead of boring wm notes.

Personally, I can't create such a program, because I don't know the programming language :P

However, I made several assumptions that I should comply..

*very simple -just basic funkcions: add, view, edit and delete notes

*Fast loading during startup (in my opinion the most important)

see attachment

So if someone can create that app or something like that it will be great

P.S.

I made some graphics which can be useful and

if anyone would be interested in the "project" I can send psd file

Hello everyone

I just took the Sony Ericsson Xperia x1, so I have some questions for you.

1. I have read here on the forum that there is a possibility to install Android OS, will that be possible?

2. Does the Android OS is installed instead of the current WM OS or not?

3. Whether, if I understand if you install the Storage Card can be made ​​after removing the Storage Card from the device and insertion of other Storage Card WM OS uses normal?

4. whether there is a possibility that on a Storage Card 8GB install a program for dual-boot for example (Gen.Y dualboot)?

5. and most importantly

If this is possible if you send me links from which they can to take the necessary software and OS.

I apologize in advance for bad English.

Thanks in advance and I hope it will help someone in my intentions.

After flashing my phone to Cyanogen I imported my contacts off of a backup I had on my sd card and then synched to my Google account. Now everyone on the list has two sets of doubled information, one is from my gmail account, the other is in a section called "Phone Only- unsynced"

How can I wipe out all of this extra information and get everyone back to only one set of information?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
The easiest way to fix that will be to do it from the computer. Log on to your Gmail account, and navigate to your contacts. Your entire contact list should be up there. If it's not, re sync your contacts from your phone, then check again. Once you see all the contacts, doubles and all, then just use 'mulit select' and just check off one of each that is doubled up, then delete them. Once you re sync again, the problem should be resolved. I believe that *should* work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordJezo:
In my Gmail contacts list everyone is there and looks good. On my phone I am synched back to Gmail in the past couple of minutes. There is no double info for anyone on my online list, its that there is this other "On Phone" thing and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I just want my online stuff on my phone. Is there a way to wipe out all my contacts on the phone and then just redownload everything? I tried to delete a contact but that then deleted it off my Gmail account as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordJezo:
Okay i figured it out after a little more Googling.

I turned off Google Sync for my contacts. I went into the Manage Applications menu and went to Contacts Storage and cleared out all the data. That wiped out everything on my phone. When I went back into the contacts list it was empty and prompted me to sync up to my gmail account. I did that and everything sorted itself out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Hmm. I've never done it, but I would think that if you went into menu>settings>accounts and sync, then clicked on your google account, and Uncheck the 'sync contacts' part. Then try deleting one off your phone, and make sure that it doesn't affect your 'online' contacts from your gmail account. As long as it doesn't delete off your gmail contacts as well, then I'd delete them all off your phone. Then re-check the 'sync contacts' in your accounts and sync. That should then re-sync, and get rid of your doubles. In theory, I believe that should work.

EDIT: Glad you got it figured out. We replied back at the same time, looks like you did just as I was suggesting.
