[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] moedjs:
OK here are my problems with MiniCM 1 Release version, FYI I have upgraded and downgraded from MiniCM RC2 to MiniCM 1 Release version for about 5 times vice versa.

And I have followed the update procedure strictly.

I have full wiped the phone

I have cleared dalvik cache

I have chose whatever xrecovery menu that has word "clear"

So I have clear everything

1. I keep getting the brightness lose when battery is 10% or less, here's the story:

- I set the brightness to about 30%, it's fine the phone is increasing the brightness

- Then I lock the screen, as usual

- When I unlock the screen, the brightness is decreased itself to it's lowest value

- and for the worse is if I press and hold the home key (for dislpaying recent running apps), the screen is off by itself

- But it's not happened when I set the brightness to auto

2. I cannot kill the Mms.apk (app for sms), it's keep coming in the list of running apps.. I know this is not the nature of Froyo, cos in my sister's Galaxy Mini the sms app was easily killed..

My work around is to delete the Mms.apk and replace it with GO SMS..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hariskar:
Why instead of downgrading did you not upgrade to MiniCM 2.0?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] moedjs:
Naaa.. still much buggies.. I'll try it maybe after second and later release..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hariskar:
I use it without problems at least big ones. I would suggest 2.0.0 to you.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
2.0 is good but it sure has bugs.. But it is great for Day to day usage
[HTC Sensation] Lord Panzer:
Since I have very little technical knowledge, I want to ask the people who do: Do you think the signed HTC bootloaders can be cracked?

Are they bulletproof? Is it just a matter of time? No idea?
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
My knowledge on the topic is probably as limited as yours, but consider this: if someone figured out how to crack an iPhone, someone will undoubtedly figure out how to crack a signed bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
The SE X10 bootloader was locked too and xda devs have unlocked it...though it took them a year to do it :eek:

Now knowing that hTC devices are way more popular here in xda, the unlocking process will take much less time, the incredible S are already temp rooted and it wouldn't take much time to be permanently rooted.

Now if you want to play on the safe side and love HTC then buy the DHD, it's still a stong device,rooted and plenty of roms
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I like to believe my knowledge is limited as well.

From what I understand, a signed bootloader will require a leak of an internal engineering build to unlock. This was done on the HTC Thunderbolt for example.

An encrypted bootloader is tougher to unlock. This is why most of us won't buy a Motorola device.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
By the way we still don't have any confirmation if it will be locked or not.

Htc said that their approach to security is "unchanged." If their approach is unchanged from devices like the Incredible S, which has an encrypted bootloader, the Sensation is unlikely to see custom firmware. If, however, their approach is unchanged from the Thunderbolt, then we are in luck: that phone has already been unlocked and rooted.
[HTC Sensation] nxdu:
Except that Apple products seem to be very crackable, sometimes even before the launch date.
[HTC Sensation] :
Once again they are not signed they are locked meaning there is a possible way to crack them. Motorola signed theirs. HTC just locked them in a different way. Making harder for us to crack. Bootloader locked and bootloader are signed two different things.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Perhaps but when you see the poor Incredible S users who tried everything possible to root it and couldn't...
[HTC Sensation] :
The ps3 couldn't be hack someone did it its mostly about popularity. They said the same thing about the g2 and the thunder bolt it got hacked. Its not impossible.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Not if, but when?

For me personally, the issue is not if the Sensation will be rooted, but WHEN. I'm personally thinking I might not want any new Android device before its rooted. I mean, although the Sensation has a lot to offer, unrooted it's going to be a resource hog that I won't be able to manage as I'd desire. I won't even be able to use Titanium Backup and some of my other apps till its rooted.

So I'm debating with myself about holding off on getting the Sensation till after it's rooted and an "unroot" path is also developed.

The only form of Android I've ever known is ROOTED, so going to a locked down version is not a pleasing option to me.
[HTC Sensation] Lord Panzer:
See this is what I love about Android and Opensource in general, and XDA in particular. You can go directly to the best and brightest and get answers! Thanks, everyone! :)
[HTC Sensation] :
It shouldn't be a problem stock as bad as other phones gingerbread fixes alot of problems. The real fix is from ext4 but. It shouldn't be as bad as before though I hate sense the only thing I like is the camera apps ui and the fact that it doesn't lose data speeds.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
The main thing I like in Sensation is the Sense 3.0, but the low benchmark score is a clear indication that it needs root to speed up some things like kernel OC.

Rooting a phone is not sufficiant, you need a bunch of happy devs to build roms and kernels, look at the beautiful xperia Arc for exemple, it has same power as DHD and its rooted for 2 weeks, but due to lack of devs we still don't have recovery nor roms,it's like if you bought a ferrari but can't drive it because of lack of petrol :(

HTC devices are the most loved ones at XDA for the time being and they get tons of roms BUT things can change if HtC wanna lock all their new devices like the Incredible S, even Paul from Modaco is not willing to buy the Sensation if it will be locked like IS, the SGS2 will win the hearts of the devs here...
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Before there was ever Android, there was Windows Mobile and locked ROMs. And this very same site, XDA Developers was the place to come to unlock and get new ROMs.

So HTC locking down Android devices is old hat, as is unlocking them :) .

This site's history is rooted in HTC devices and so long as HTC makes something even marginally competitive I don't see it changing. The developers here have been hacking HTC devices before Android came to town. In fact, Android is the new kid on this block :D . Here, a lock is simply an exciting challenge to overcome, and a source for some developer to earn our $upport :D .

Don't count on a lock in the Sensation causing any wave of developers here to go running to Samsung.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Can you say the same to Incredible S users?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Inc S is Verizon right? We all know in the US VZW is the largest CDMA Carrier cell co. They usually get what they want. To me VZW is like Steve Jobs bunch of corporate jerks
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I recall the old Touch Pro 2 also took a little time to crack, but it was also unlocked. Even the old Treo Pro was eventually cracked, both the GSM and CDMA versions. They all get unlocked, some take a little more time than others.

Which is why my only question is when? The Sensation being a device that will be with GSM carriers, having a good degree of pre-sale marketing and being made by HTC. It's going to have development somewhere to the level we see with the HD2. Most of us HD2 owners that frequent this site moved to Android and the Sensation is the next suitable upgrade.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Incredible S is a GSM phone that is attracting attention since it has T-Mobile's AWS band support. Verizon is coming out with a dual-mode GSM/CDMA sister of the Inc S.
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
May be one of the experts of XDA-developers can solve this strange problem.

I bought a HTC 7 Mozart with T-Mobile branding in Germany, used it with another SIM card. I have a Windows 7 (32 bit) computer where Zune is installed. The connection with Zune was workding fine.

Then I flashed my phone with the 'Official HTC Europe 1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50 ROM'. The phone is working fine, but it does not get recognized by the Windows device manager & Zune. So I carried out the following steps:

- formatted & reinstalled Windows 7

- installed Zune

- carried out ALL Updates in Windows & Zune till date

- flashed Mozart again, carried out hard reset

I guess, there's nothing more that one can do to start afresh. But still my computer & zune continue to refuse to recognize my HTC 7 Mozart (see attached screenshots).

This is what is displayed on my mobile right now:

Name: HTC 7 Mozart T8698

OS version: 7.0.7389.0

Firmware version: 2250.09.13001.401

Does anyone have the slightest clue, what went wrong? Is the ROM corrupted? Is some important element missing in the ROM? Is it possible to get a seperate driver file for Mozart (Zune.inf has proved useless so far)?

Thanks in advance

P.S.: In the meantime I tried the following:

- I flashed the phone again with an older ROM (RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_5.51.09.06_22.3 0.50_RELEASE). But the computer still cannot recognize Mozart.

- I also tried to use the WPSupportTool both under the old & the new ROM. Mozart WAS RECOGNIZED(!) in the USB connection mode in both the cases. The driver was loaded. Even Zune recognized it and popped up. The entry 'PD67199' could be seen in the Device manager. The tool itself could not do its updating job in both cases. Even after a restart the phone remained unrecognized in both cases.
[7 Mozart General] emperor_htg:
update zune?
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
Thanks for your reply.

Well, as I have already mentioned I have already updated Zune. Zune & Windows are up to date. I forgot to mention that I had switched off the firewall as well just in case it was blocking the connection.
[7 Mozart General] malvern:
Is the windows mobile device update installed in installed programs?
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
Still no progress

As my windows mobile device (Mozart) was not recognized at all, there is obviously no update installed in installed programs as well. In case you mean the Windows Mobile Device Center it seems to be up to date (Version 6.1.6965).

As I mentioned in my post, I tried to use the Windows Phone Support Tool as well. I have now attached the screenshots. As you can see while looking for the driver the computer recognizes the device to be 'Windows Mobile' and after recognizing it is listed as 'PD67100'. The Tool itself failed to update anything. Zune kind of recognized the phone but as the phone was not in a normal mode.

I still hope that someone out there is competent enough to identify the problem based on my detailed report and all the screenshots.
[7 Mozart General] Ca5c4d3:
Still having an issue with this?

You definetely do not need the Windows Mobile Device Center.

Can you give it a shot after you uninstalled your wifi modems drivers?
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
Still no progress

Thanks for all the suggestions, but my situation is so hopeless that not even Microsoft or other 'experts' could help.

- I tried everything all over again with a brand new HTC data cable

- I tried uninstalling the wifi driver

But nothing works. I wish someone could just send me the 'top secret' driver file of Mozart. 'Zune.inf' has not helped so far. Or does someone have a 'magic' Zune.inf file? ;-)
[7 Mozart General] Ca5c4d3:
Sorry i gave up 32-bit windows back in 2004 :D.

Can you go back to the original carriers ROM and give it another go?
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
solution ALMOST found

Well, after weeks of research & trial with different ROMs I think I have narrowed down the possibilities.

The problem seems to be the Zune/Windows LIVE account. Once you have used a device with Zune, it remains listed with both Zune & Windows LIVE account (check: setting > account > computers & devices as well as in devices.live.com).

Now one can add/delete upto 5 NEW devices every 30 days to the Zune account. In my case I already had 'HTC Mozart T8698' listed in Zune. If I had renamed the device BEFORE flashing the problem probably could have been avoided. After the update/flashing it is not being recognized at all probably because the name remains the same. But according to my Zune I can use a 'NEW' telephone on 25.05.2011. (See screenshot)

Now I have clicked the REMOVE button several times, but the device is not yet removed from the list. So I am not sure whether this means it will be removed only on 23.05.2011. In case I manage to remove it I will try out the connection on that date.

Does anybody have any idea on how to remove my device now? Or any other tricks to solve the problem?
[7 Mozart General] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

I suppose that you flashed European ROM with cable way, no?

Regards, ansar
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
Europe ROM

Dear Ansar,

It's wonderful to finally hear from YOU. Now I feel a solution can be found.

Yes, I did flash the European version provided by you (OS version 7.0.7389.0, Firmware: 2250.09.13001.401). Earlier I had the T-Mobile-Germany original ROM and had no problem connecting to computer & Zune.

In the meantime I tried out many other ROMs also provided by you but the device is not getting recognized by either Windows or Zune. My Zune account (setting) is showing my device from the earlier usage (HTC 7 Mozart T8698) so I guess that might be causing some conflict - as the device name remains same even after flashing.

I hope you can come up with some tricks to solve the problem. Thanks again for personally looking into the matter.
[7 Mozart General] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

If it was not recognized by windows then no new ROM flash will be performed

Can you try to connect to any available usb hub in your pc and see if zune can see it?

Regards, ansar
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
Hi Ansar,

Thanks for the quick reply. Well, I also tried out all the USB ports (Laptop: 3, Desktop: 6). Now I just tried out an external USB hub after seeing your message. But unfortunately that did not work as well.

I didn't quite understand what you mean by ...then no new ROM flash will be performed. Should I stop trying out any other ROM?

Regards

Hans
[7 Mozart General] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Your phone is recognized by windows drivers and you can flash ROMs using ROMUpdateUtility (not goldcard)

I thing you should flash again one of TMO_DE 1.23.111.01 or 1.25.111.02 or 1.28.111.03 ROMs

If so let me know the results before trying anything else

Regards, ansar
[7 Mozart General] hansmueller1968:
Hi Ansar,

Thanks again for your efforts. Just now I flashed TMO-DE 1.28.111.03 ROM, unistalled & reinstalled Zune (ran TuneUp utilities to clean registry in between). I logged in to Windows LIVE both in Zune & Phone.

Unfortunately the results are the same - i.e. the phone is still not recognized by the computer & Zune. Could you please send me the links to the other 2 ROM versions so that I can try out these as well?

Thanks & regards

Hans
[7 Mozart General] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Since the pro is there after flashing the ROM, no other ROM can fix it

You should check with another phone of a friend of yours in your PC or check your phone in your friend PC

I think that the pro is probably in your PC operating system drivers with minor possibility to the phone hardware

Some times hard reset of the phone before flashing and then battery replacement can be of good help

Also be sure that immediately after a flash you remove usb cable, connect again and listen for the characteristic sound of connection

If this is ok then installed drivers are the problem

Regards, ansar
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Since I flashed the leedroid rom, automatic brightness doesn't work too well. The display is always very dark...even if I go in the sun, the brightness doesn't go maximum. If I manually set it to maximum, then I can tell the difference with the automatic brightness level which is much darker (around 40% brightness level).

No matter what rom I use (I flashed today ultimate droid, revolution HD, miui)....with everyrom the same thing. The sensor is not dirty, I thought maybe it doesn't get too much light so the phone doesn't recognize how bright is the environment but yeah...it doesn't really look right to me.

Before every rom I always to a full wipe through clockwork recovery....what can I check ?
[Desire HD General] UpInTheAir:
Use app "sensor list" or the the lux (brightness) on "gps status" to check if your sensor is actually working. The values should change between:

10-40-90-160-225-320-640-1280-2600-10240

They may skip some values going through the range, and maybe take a few seconds for the values to change or register on your display.

Use a torch to gradually shine over the sensor, so you can see the autobrightness change along with the lux reading.

Hey all just had a quick question about the latest update. I used to have an epic awhile back when they was on 2.1 and noticed that we had a very dumbed down version of touchwiz.

So my question is with the latest os did they update the epic touchwiz to full like the vibrant and etc...

Reason I ask is I just bought an epic because I use my phone for gaming a lot and my evo is lag city on most new games with it's current gpu...

Thanks everybody in advance!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
There was not a lot of changes in Touchwiz with the Froyo 2.2 upgrade other than the ability to order applications anyway you want on the Apllications pages. Plus adding a sort function and swapping out of docked applications.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
And the ui changed. Ued to be light blue popups, now they are that nice dark blue. Some notification icons changed. All the icons for stock apps(messaging, email, etc) now have the correct touchwiz equivelant, instead of the android default. We got the touchwiz music player now, with notification controls. Unfortunately, the lockscreen did not change at all. The touchwiz home app now has pinch-to-zoom previews, and can have 1-7 screens. We also have the touchwiz messaging app, with blue and yellow chat bubbles. I think that covers everything.

Will edit if i remember anything.

If IPS display is so good, how come no other major manufacturer is using it?

Everyone else is going for TFT.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorby911:
No other major manufacturer, really? Apple uses them in iPads. B&N uses them in Nooks Color. Lenovo will use it in LePad tablet. I believe Toshiba will use it their upcoming tablet. I think that's enough but there may be others too, we just don't have final specs on all upcoming tablets yet.

Some manufacturers don't use them (motorola and acer for example) to cut costs and make bigger profit I am guessing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dulanic:
A lot use them. Those that don't do so to cut costs.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Everyone is going for TFT because every LCD is using TFT (thin-film transistor). IPS is also TFT-LCD.

There are three main types of TFT-LCD:

TN - very cheap, poor angles, contrast and colors (almost certainly used by Acer A500).

VA - good black and contrast, not so good angles (but quite OK), slow, good colors but most suffer from black crush (the colors near black all look like black), probably used by Motorola Xoom,

IPS - very good colors, good angles of view, worse black than VA, faster than VA, slower than TN, probably costs more than most VA, used by iPad and Transformer.

There is also AFFL - Asus used it in Asus Slate but named it IPS if I remember correctly (it should be very similar to IPS).

There are many other versions, especially VA is in many different versions - some worse, some better. The type of backlight (typically fluorescent lamp, sometimes LED) will also have impact on colors.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
kinda like how porterhouse is better than cube steak... everyone doesn't eat porterhouse cause it costs more.

now just to clarify, i know it's a personal preference as to which meat is better b/c there's a bbq joint here that makes a cube steak that i'd pick over a porterhouse any day!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan503:
a 24" standard TN display will run you starting at $170

The cheapest IPS display will cost you $400+ for the same size.

comes down to cost, and yes I do have two IPS displays, I will never go back to anything lower, putting it beside my TN panel acer, the acer looks like a POS.

I didn't think the colors looked that good on the xooms display when I saw it in store and when I saw the xooms screen compared to the transformer in a review (can't remember which sorry) I thought it looked pretty terrible..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
tests by anandtech show the transformer being better at showing blacks AND contrast so I doubt the Xoom is a VA panel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Yes, I'm not sure if it's VA too. Maybe I'll get my hands on Xoom once and check (there are probably two types of screens in Xooms too, so it could be that one is TN, the other not). And some type of VA are not much better than TN.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanthompson:
I'm aware that the Ipad's and the Nook's have IPS displays. But what about Moto, Samsung, Acer, Dell, Lenovo? And if IPS displays are so expensive, how come the Transformer is cheapest of the lot?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
First lets compare it to the iPad, made by apple, they have it up for 500 USD with an IPS display, now we all know the renowned apple tax which would explain the 100 USD price difference, but also think about the fact that Apple doesn't actually make their parts themselves (making it slightly more expensive). Asus however produces nearly all of their own parts in their own factories (besides connector ports which are sometimes made by foxconn) making it cheaper to produce, moto does not produce their own parts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Yes, this. In fact it's one of the reasons I've been looking forward to seeing what Asus comes up with, because they make so much of their own stuff. They kicked off the whole low-cost netbook thing, now they're doing the same with tablets. And it's a good thing, because they're doing it by offering decent enough quality and specs at a lower price point.

Now if I can just get my freaking hands on one... :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
For what it's worth, I just played with an A500 at Best Buy, and the viewing angles were pretty good. Then again, I'm coming from a Viewsonic gTab, so perhaps my expectations are low. At extreme angles the screen appeared dimmer, but it didn't go all solarized like the gTab.
