Humm.. seems maybe someone has pissed off the little sh$ts that sit at their desks all day and control the web from here..

Or they just dont want any Chinese development done on western operating systems..

anyway.. since the weekend am getting blocked to XDA, only way through is Via VPN..

funny thing is.. can still use the XDA app on the phone and come through on the 3g network but on not normal DSL connections..

are having problems on two different computers from home and from work networks..

Not to worry.. thats what VPN's are made for!!!

Now I am able to view Chinese characters on my phone. When I type in pinyin, there should be a list of Chinese characters for me to choose from.

So I was in class today using my phone normally, just doing my every day thing.. searching the web.. playing angry birds.. etc.. anyways I put my phone down for about 10 minutes while im taking notes (MyTouch 4g BTW) and the screen is black.. I push the power button, home, menu, etc... no response. This has happened to me before and all I have had to do is pull the battery, reboot and im back in business, but this time I turned it back on and nothing works, i mean nothing!! i cant open any apps, widgets don't load, I can't answer calls because the phone like freezes up or the screen just goes black. I've had my phone off now for about 3 - 4 hours and now when I went to turn it on it will load, go to the lockscreen, then immediately just go to the boot animation and repeat the process. I've tried going into clockworkmod to try and re-flash the rom and when I go to the folder that I have the .zips in it wont even open the folder, when I back out it says that no files were found so maybe my micro SD card got fried or something?? I have no idea.. I have also tried restoring my phone using the many backups that I have and it still does not work.Usually im pretty good at troubleshooting my phone myself but I am completely stuck right now and have no idea how to fix this. if ANYONE can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it :)

one

of the errors its reading in CWM is

E:CAN'T OPEN /cache/recovery/last_log

UPDATE.. PHONE WILL NOT EVEN GET PAST BOOT ANIMATION.. freezes.. fml.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkzwinkz:
hey guyz

sorry to start a new post but i have searched everywhere on this platform and mostly its same solution everywhere so i think i just need some specific steps to do it i guess.

i was on A0435 with baseband .54 which comes with generic rom. then i searched and found out that MIUI 1.0.5 can work on .54 without changing to .49, we just apply cm6bb54.zip patch.

first i did was flashed A0435, ran the phone, rooted, installed xrevocery, then i flashed trip's MIUI 1.0.5 through xrecovery and without rebooting i flashed the patch also. that solved the problem of network connection.

but my major problem is that it keeps bootlooping. i cant get it to stop bootlooping.

i have also tried 10times to flash .49 on it but it wudnt work. i always get unkoen baseband and because of that again MIUI wudnt work.

i need some1 to help me out with steps to do it perfect from whom this ROM is working on x10.

thank you for your time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
worked fine for me....

Did you make sure to full wipe before you flashed the rom?

full wipe/factory restore, wipe cache, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash the rom, followed by the patch.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkzwinkz:
yes, i have tried all that and its still bootloop.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
try loading it for a minute and letting it settle, then afterwards going back into xrecovery and flashing the patch.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkzwinkz:
thnx man. but i just found my own way of working this thing out. for any1 who has/had problem like me installing MIUI 1.0.5 on .54..just flash generic A.0.24 which has .49 preinstalled baseband and then just follow normal xrecovery method of flashing the MIUI 1.0.5 and it works perfect.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
lol or you could just flash the .49 baseband instead of a whole firmware.

The patch worked fine for me and everyone else, judging by this post, I'm assuming it's something you're doing
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchjon:
I don't know if its sprint lovers Rom or all of them but I had to swap my phones through insurance. So the new one has a novatek screen and the other one has a Epson. The Epson was rooted and the nova was right out the box stock. The nova was much more vibrant and the Epson looked dull in comparison. Then I rooted the nova and unrooted the Epson to send it back. I put them side by side again and this time the nova was very dull and the Epson had become more vibrant then it was when it was running Sprint lovers. So I'm wondering if its this Rom that is causing the screen to dull down or is it just rooting the phone in general and is there a fix

i dont think it has to do with brightness. They are set on default brightness to begin with but the colors seem to have a dulling effect. they dont look as sharp as they would before even if the brightness was all the way up.

On topic of screen dullness, I'm on CM7 and everything looks fine to me. Provide some pics if this is the case. The devs do a great job providing us with custom roms, but if you're more interested in the "clarity"...stick with HTC/Sprint stock rom.

I want to love the cm7 releases and they do work well but battery life seems to be much shorter than it is when using RoyalGinger. Anyone else have the same experience?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Running eViL's 4G-HD DesireHD port. I found out that when it comes to usability, pure Android is lacking A LOT compared to Sense (specifically - contacts/dialer, Exchange mail, browser), I'm tired of Gingerbread quirks, and I don't like the T-Mo Sense skin too much, so I'm running the pure Sense version.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
As of a few days ago, running cm7 latest "stable" build. It's the first post-stock rom I've run, and I love it! So far very happy with the seemingly faster smoother experience, and battery so far seems much better than stock. I might get around to trying Royal's as I hear it's even faster and better with battery, but I'm wary of constant flashing lol, I just want a solid steady rom to use as my daily, and so far cm7 running LPP over it has made me happy :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I felt the same way until trying Launcher Plus Pro (LPP) - no it's not Sense, but offers many similar sense-like widgets that in my opinion actually work BETTER than their sense counterparts, i.e. the "Friends" LPP widget is SO much faster than Friendstream, and serves the same function, and LPP's calendar widget is much more efficient, you get both grid and agenda in one widget. Add to the widgets the far-superior customizable dock and I haven't looked back. Only drawback to running an AOSP rom over sense is the phone-related ui elements definitely suck, i.e. the dialer screen, etc. Overall though, totally worth the shift for me.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I'm not using Sense for the widgets. Actually, I'm not using a single Sense widget on my 7 screens - even though I really like the full-screen weather animation that comes with HTC clock (but not willing to sacrifice half of my main screen for it).

I've been running LPP on stock Android for a long time using various ROMs on my Nexus One, including Gingerbread versions. The obvious parts of the stock-vs-Sense I already mentioned, but there are less obvious parts. The integration with external dialer in stock Android is bad, different screens coming up one after another for checking missed calls, very slow contact photo rendering on long lists, etc. LPP sucked when taking the phone off the charger every morning, having to restart and reload all the screens. Since GB it also sucked, being unable to do zoom-out and show 7 busy screens without hiccups, having to reload caches after every heavy app launch or charging, and scrolling slowly when using really busy screens. So I stopped using it and dropped GB in favor of Sense, and this preference remained when I moved to MT4G (my wife wanted the Nexus, I finally convinced her to move to Android from her antique WinMo).

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excarnate:
CM7 0816 nightly

I don't know what happened...but I like it:

View attachment 696932

I know that is with fairly minimal use (I already have 3 stars on all Angry Birds :-) but it means there is minimal drain when I'm not using it, including having GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth on (mostly). And it charges quickly, too.

Today it is at 22% after 15:30, but Maps is 47% of the use.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excarnate:
Well, it didn't last. I suspect WiFi calling of keeping my wireless on at times, and Bebbled took 17% on this one. Generally, if I use the phone the battery life goes down fairly quick. I'm running CM7 at 1.3GHz top.

Today I didn't let my son use my phone, but I was in a no or low signal area at times. I believe the large drop in the middle was due to trying to get updates with minimal signal.

Hopefully this helps someone. My take away is that those who claim fabulous battery life don't hardly use their phone as anything but an occasional phone and live in a good signal area. The phone (and OS) doesn't drain much when not in use. The battery charges quickly. I'm thinking of underclocking and need to put the LV kernel back on.

And I'm glad I have a phone where I can change the battery. It gives me the freedom to use my phone when I want or need to.
