[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] .x.x.x.Peria:
:)

I just notice that Mini Pro's keyboard perhaps seems to be too small but in real life it is flawlessly useable.

My second note is that: is OK for English only - special characters are pain in the @ss.

Third notice is that: HW keyboard usable only when You using phone "horizontally". In practice I using phone in "vertical" position and if want to type, I must to slide-out HW keyboard, type fast, then close HW keyboard and continue work in this comfort orientation.

If You type much SMS or e-mail, HW keyboard is a _must_. If You browse web-sites often in 320X240 and every time You visit totally different places, typing fast also would be good - but this is real?

For me, my any other uses in "vertical" orientation - so I almost no using HS keybouard :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
Considering I am Portuguese... I've looked around, special characters really are a pain, but I'll find a way.

I think I can combine horizontal and vertical, I don't really mind the little screen. Internet will be seldomly used, MSN and Skype mostly.

Has anyone else on 1.83 noticed their apps not appearing in the market after updating? I used titanium backup to restore everything but I only have like 5 apps actually showing up in the my apps section of the market.

try using market enabler, maybe some wizardry went on and something broke. If that fails try

I had the same problem after the 1.83 update. I thought I screwed something up even though all apps were still installed. I just downloaded all the apps again.

Hi all.

I search app which simulates the network adapter on the computer using radio phone module.

There can be who that saw such program.

Its possible?

Sorry for my english.
[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
do you mean turning your phone into a wifi/BT usb adapter? not sure you can do that, you can share your 3G via USB so in theory you could share wifi/BT in the same sort of way.
[XPERIA X8 General] frukttime:
Yes.

I had a necessity to connect two computers in a local network, without having a cable.

The laptop, it is necessary to make one of them only wifi/bt adapter on other computer.
[General Questions and Answers] Milliganjc:
Ok, so I finally rooted my Xperia X10 a few weeks ago and I'm pretty glad I did. I flashed it and upgraded to 2.1, but I've noticed a little lag that kinda surprised me. I was reading a lot about people installing custom ROMs and running 2.2 and things like that. So I was tempted to do that myself. I was hoping I could have a little help deciding what ROM to run and whether to run 2.2 or something other than 2.1. Basically, I want my phone to run as fast, smooth, and stable as it possibly can, all while keeping its good looks, because I'm big on looks as well. I personally thought that Xperia on 1.6 looked sleeker than the upgraded 2.1. Sharper colors and pics from timscape and my contact photos weren't distorted like they are now. I'm all about a sleek, sharp looking phone that runs smooth. So in other words, as of today, what are the best options out there for me? And I'd rather not put something on my phone that's gonna make it unstable and crash. One other thing is that even though I backed up my apps before I rooted and flashed to 2.1, I still had to repay for them when I put them back on my phone. How can I avoid that this time around? And one last thing. I used super one click to root my phone. How do I flash a new ROM with that? Thanks so much guys.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
I had to return my g tablet to office depot for having 3 dead pixels. And now the replacement has about 5 dead pixels. Out of the box they were fine. But after using them for about 2 days the dead pixels happen. Both times I was running vegan gingerbread. Also none of them came with screen protectors. So is this just bad luck or something else?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
certainly bad luck.

Non of the newer stock has any screen protectors (was confusing owners into thinking they got a faulty screen).

If the dead pixels were newly developed, did you try some of the online dead pixel re-activation applications ? Jscreen fix is one of them but requires java to run so not sure if it would run on the gtab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
Any others?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jscreenfix.android2
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
How do you find these dead pixels? As the gtab is using a standard mass produced netbook screen, you would think dead pixels would be unlikely. I don't notice any on mine, but then again I haven't really checked each pixel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
I dont look for them, I just notice little black spots on the screen then go to wipe it off but come to find out its the actually screen. Then I get a pixel detecter from the market and then find about 5 others.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
You sure you're not just seeing the digitizer substrate?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
No, I see the the others dots that are in rows. I just took the second one back to office depot and the tech looked at it and confirmed that they were dead pixels. My next one is getting here Wednesday so hopefully the 3rd one is ok.

Would the software have anything to do with it? Because it seems like when I install Gingerbread they show up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
Quit installing gingerbread
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
not at all.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
Why? Could it actually mess with some display thing? I might just install vegan 5.1.1 and give it a few days then install gingerbread and see what happens.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Crumbs get under the screen... ;-)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
I looked at them with a magnifying glass and its actually pixels.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
I guess it wasn't as funny as I thought...

The ROM you install is not likely to be causing bad pixels. Bad pixels happen because manufacturers can't test every component with driving cost up so they ship the items and leave it to the customer to be final quality control. When buying at the low end of the cost spectrum you can expect more defects. The overwhelming majority of people won't even notice a few bad pixels or at least won't care and the manufacturers know that so it's cheaper for them to deal with the few people who do care through customer service than to fix the problem with higher cost parts.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
No the rom would not be causing dead pixels. You sound half convinced of this so I figured you should just not install gingerbread anymore.

Maybe take it back and get an iPad
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
Are you working on commission? :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
I wouldn't care if they were just 1 pixel. But its at least 6 dead pixels grouped together and other black dots all of the screen. Ill install gingerbread again and it it happens again Im not going to exchange it at office depot. I will call viewsonic and get them to exchange it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
I'm quite sure you're NOT seeing dead pixels. Just return it, because every one you get is going to look that way. Unless someone drop-kicked it at office depot, of course, that would never pass the electronic inspection at the factory where the panels are made.

And no, the rom/os type won't make any difference.

Return it for a refund, and get something with a different style of LCD.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outdooz:
I am seeing them. The tablets don't come that, they get them about after 2 days. Every time the tech at office depot says its dead pixels and confirms that I can exchange it. I think they just have a bad batch of the ones they stocked their shelves with. They ordered the one thats coming tomorrow so hopefully it is going to be ok. Like I said before, If it happens again, I am sending it to viewsonic.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
Well, that's even more odd. I have NEVER heard of an LCD developing dead pixels days later. Ever.

Good luck with it, whatever it is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FerraraZ:
I just purchased the Inspire 4G. *Love it so far* but I'm heading to the gym soon and before I root and try out CM7 tonight I wanted to OTA update from AT&T. Can I do this now and still safely root the device and put a ROM on it later today?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yup. There is a multistep process for post-update Inspires. Either run the hack kit and then follow my post in the Dev section, OR use attn1's pd98img.zip (also after running the hack kit) to get root and then the ability to install ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM Manager.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FerraraZ:
Should I just hold off then if its easier to do on pre-updated Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
It is about the same really.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FerraraZ:
Thanks for the awesome responses. I'll update it now since I'm curious to see how much better it makes it and I'll be using Pandora for the night so wouldnt hurt!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waqas.sonic:
Hi Guys,

Just got hold of the Eee Pad today so thought I 'ed do a quick review and let the prospective buyers know what I thought about it. I had the option to get either the Eee pad or the Acer Iconia (or xoom- but I didn't see the reason to pay the price for something similar)

So the main comparison came down to the Iconia and the Eee Pad and I finally did go for the Eee Pad over the Iconia, I compared them both side by side, checked whatever I could and I am not one bit disappointed, saved 70 £s (iconia is Heavy for a tablet btw!)and I am in love with the ee Pad. the only reason I did want to go for Acer was the full USB host but I am eventually going to get the keyboard which has USB slots so it came down to ASUS.

I have attached a YouTube video of the review have a look and let me know what you guys think and feel free to ask any questions or if you want to test something specific on the tablet let me know. I will try my best to do it.

For those in the UK and looking for the tablet, I got this off Comet in store.

Hey man, it's Eee Pad Transformer TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waqas.sonic:
Thanks, changed it where I could (dont know/can't edit the name of the thread)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Billus:
No problem. Good review. I liked the fact you did a walkthrough with the device and its features rather than just rushing everything like most other reviews. You didn't try and sell the item but gave a good honest approach and it seemed like a natural review without a script. Should be encouraging to others looking at this device thinking whether or not they should buy it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waqas.sonic:
Glad u found it useful.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mic_888:
Nice review - I'm still waiting for the keyboard bundle.

What's the stock onscreen keyboard like? Do you own an Android phone? If so how does the keyboard compare - is the responsiveness about the same?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waqas.sonic:
I do have a Desire-Z but I dont really use the on sccreen key board on that, If I compare it with the galaxy s i had i 'ed have to say Eee pad is really good, one for obvious reason the screen size and secondly the 10 point multi input touch screen,yes i ed never use 10 fingers at a time but even having a 3 point multipoint screen helps typing 10 really calms me down :p

Anyways to answer you question, yes it really is a treat to work with and honestly I am not a big fan of on screen keyboards but this is good, probably as good as the ipad if not better.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dim4x4:
This question has been raised many times, but I couldn't find a single definite answer. To sync with Outlook there is software like Touchdown (albeit only for MS Exchange) and cloud services like Soocial and Funambol. Now, how do you sync ALL fields in Contacts, for example, if they are not 100% identical with Google? The later lets you name your phone numbers, for example which is impossible in Outlook. I am using Outlook both for business and personal, and it would be very difficult to move away from it, especially as my company uses it for business. However, I find WM 6.5, or Windows Phone 7, or Blackberry not particularly suited for my personal needs. So I bought Optimus 2X, but I have not started using it, because I don't know how to painlessly migrate to it from HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WM 6.5, which is seamlessly integrated with Outlook. I have about 1600 well-organized contacts, many tasks, recurring calendar items, almost all of them with applied custom-made Outlook categories. Filtering and sorting by categories really simplifies things. I am daunted by the task of re-categorizing all of my outlook items by hand. But I need to start using Android somehow AND desktop and laptop versions of MS Outlook with the categories I have set up. What is the least painful way to do it? I can't believe there's only me faced with this problem. Thanks for your help!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namzad:
Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to Android. I just switched from Blackberry, and i'm extremely glad that I did. I picked up a Galaxy S Vibrant (GT-I9000M). I'm currently in Canada on the Sasktel network.

I'm interested in trying out some custom roms (Darky's v10.0 RC5.3 seems to sound pretty good), but before I go do this, I have a lot of questions that I can't find answers for.

Firstly, i've read that custom roms should only be applied on "international" versions of the Galaxy S. Is this true? Why is that? Also, i have no idea how to tell if mine is an international version.

There are some instructions that say, "Don't install kernel with this version", or "don't install modem if you have a certain phone" It's a little confusing.. is the ROM not the kernel? It sounds like it'd be easy to brick a phone..

I've also read that the phone has to be unlocked. (mine is not unlocked). Is this a requirement before installing any custom roms?

Apparently, there are different methods to install roms (market apps, odin, saving files to SD card..) is there a preferred method?

If anyone can help with these questions to help get me started, i'd be most appreciative.

Hello,

Not sure if this has been brought up before.

I flashed the simply galaxy (gingerbread) rom last night. I come from bionixV 1.2.1.

I have 2 issues right now. I can not see the recovery. When ever I boot into recovery it freezes/hangs

in the vibrant boot logo. I read somewhere that the recovery is behind the boot logo and I can not see it.

I tried the 3 button combo and the rom manager reboot into recovery - I still can not get into recovery

I will appreciate any help.

Also, I installed titanium backup, it installed correctly, but I can not see it in the app drawer.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
I think I told this before in the rom's thread, you cannot boot into recovery by choosing that option from the power screen. You've to flash a 2.2 kernel (overstock) using the sgs kernel flasher app and then reboot, press the 3 buttons combo and you'll have the recovery screen full functional.
