[Xperia Arc General] MCast_XArc:
Hello everyone, quite the newbie here so please be nice. :)

I'm in love with my Xperia arc. It has an amazing camera, I'm loving Android, and it's been mostly a breeze so far. A few hiccups and crashes, but nothing major.

My complaint here is minor, but nonetheless it's distracting. Whenever I receive an SMS, I pull down the notification bar and open the message. I reply, or sometimes I don't, but whenever I'm done with the message (either after sending the message and the conversation window closes by itself, or when I press the back/Home button if I don't reply), when I go back to the homescreen, the Messaging icon on my shortcuts tray flickers. It's always like that. Now it just flickers for a fraction of a second and it doesn't really get in the way of functionality, but it's just really annoying!

Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Finally got my nook unbricked and updated to 1.2. Now I want to get some real apps not the crap nook apps. So, whats the safest and easiest way to get the market?
[Nook Color General] Larry94:
Theres alot of app incompatibility with 1.2, so I would reccomend using verygreen's size agnostic sd card utility to make CM7 bootable from the SD card and than use his instructions on flashing the googles apps. heres the link

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linus831:
Hey guys, since vodafone UK OTA Desire HD from 2.1 to 2.2.1, users cannot switch to GSM only anymore (this option is disappeared from the network mode). I noticed that not only Desire HD, but sumsong's 2.2.1 has the same situation as well.

Voda UK says that this issue would be fixed in the next release (2.3). Its been a loooooong wait and finally we got the leak 2.3 RUU. However, after tried all the custom ROM downloaded from xda, this problem still exist. I found that sumsong fixed the issue in their 2.3 rom already (says voda UK blog).

So.... does any one know which file should I modified to fix the "missing gsm only" problem?

Thank you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashleyayling:
I'm not too sure if there's a fix for this problem (seems to be another case of Network operators being too restrictive over phone functions). As a temporary measure, you could always type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer (Special Testing Menu).

From there, if you go to Phone Information and scroll down to Set preferred network type, you can change the option from there. I believe by default this is WCDMA preferred, so its just a case of changing this to GSM only ;)

Hope this helps :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linus831:
Thanks Ashley.

I know I can use *#*#4636#*#* to switch the network mode but its very annoying to do so every time. The funny thing is, the gsm mode appears if I put a SIM card from other country's carrier and roam the network via voda AU.

I suppose its a bug because voda claimed that the new galaxy S 2.3.3 rom fixed the issue though :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashleyayling:
That does seem a very strange bug. Did the SIM card in question that you have problems with come with the phone?

As it seems a compatibility issue between that specific SIM and the phone and I was wondering if its being detected as a 3G SIM? Are you able to achieve 3G connections?

Also, is the Network Type option greyed out in your phone settings, or completely missing?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linus831:
It's a brand new SIM card and it works fine under old ROM (2.1). When I used the RUU_WWE_1.35, I can switch between the three options and I can still make a phone call when I switched to GSM only mode. 3G network works fine to me as well if I switch my phone to WCDMA only.

After updated to 2.2.1 or 2.2.3, the GSM only option disappeared from the Network mode.Specifically, when I open the Network mode, it only shows WCDMA only and GSM/WCDMA auto. GSM only is not grayed out, its just not shown in the Network mode anymore.

I borrowed my friend's SIM card (which is Vodafone AU as well) and it shows the same problem in my DHD. :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linus831:
Fixed!!

Ok. I know what caused the issue here. The APN setting for Vodafone AU includes MCC:505, MNC:3, which makes my phone cannot chose GSM only mode. I decompile the Phone.apk and modified the arrays.xml file in the values-mcc505-mnc3 folder to add the GSM only mode back.

After I flash my modified Phone.apk back to DHD, I get the GSM only mode back again!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe460:
Hey linus, I was just searching for the same thing...

I'm using Leedroid's GB ROM (2.2.3) and missing the same option. Was fine on FroYo.

Are you able to share or link your phone.apk? I'm so hanging to get this option back as it's saved me a few times when I can't get good 3G coverage. Also reduces battery consumption... ;)

Probably silly question, but is it possible to change the APN settings or something esle to acheive this without changing the apk? I'm just thinking of future ROM releases.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesper64:
Hey Linus,

As above any chance I could get a copy of the phone.apk. I'm having the same problem too and it's a bit annoying... Cheers

I have been trying to get an additional PSU and car charger for my Acer. Went to Frys, tried almost EVERYTHING they have on those Universal PSU and NONE of them work in the pin connector for the Acer. What gives!

Try to get a free tip for my Energizer Xpal and also result in zero search. Any fellows have a pointer to where in getting the right tip? Thx
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
So far the ONLY one that I have found that works is the Enercell 12 / 1.5 with the 'G' tip, but it's like $30 at RadioShack. The tip itself is a little long and if it wiggles it will stop/start charging off and on.

I'm working with a few people to find some at decent price for us.
[Acer Iconia A500] julz:
anyone measured the dimensions of the charging tip at all? If worse comes to worse we could always buy a generic 12v 1.5a AC adapter from ebay and buy the tip separately to solder on.

The USB port wont be able to charge the tablet fast enough and the battery will still drain. I've found that this happens on my Xperia X10 mobile phone. I have to disable 3G data in order get it to start charging.
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
The 'g' tip for the Encercell is 1.1mm x 3.0mm

Hope that helps
[Acer Iconia A500] julz:
thanks for hte dimensions... unfortunately they don't sell that brand over here in Australia. I'm also reluctant to pay ~$30 for a charger.

I wonder if one of the round tips on this USB charger would fit:

Wal-Mart Car Charger

The Wal-Mart Car charger for portable DVD players works perfect.

a quick look at the wall power supply says that it it needs 12V at 1.5 amps with center of tip positive.

The Wal-Mart car charger puts out 2000ma (2amps), and has a tip that works.. It works PERFECT and it only costs 15 bux.

usb charging is out.. usb is only 5V at 500 ma (.5 amp).. not sure why everybody complains about wanting USB to charge their tablet. Even if they did add it, it would take so terribly long to charge it, you would get mad. With the proper charger and voltage, it only takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge the thing...

Good luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
This has been a topic of discussions for a LONG time hopefully you'll know.... Couldn't there be a potential issue with charging at 2 amps when it calls for 1.5?? I was told you could use less but not ore without causing damage to the battery?

I have a 'demo' on the way from overseas to try that I should get Wednesday. I will let you know ASAP.

This is a big issue with me as I prefer a charger at home and the office and I'd like something that I can charge on my desk 'without my face mashed up against the wall' (as atomicwedgie so perfectly put it)
[Acer Iconia A500] silic0re:
The Amp rating on wall chargers is what the charger is CAPABLE of outputting, not what it is always outputting. As long as there is current limiting built into the charging circuit (which is a must), then the charging circuit in the A500 won't pull any more amperage than it needs to charge. Don't worry about buying a higher amperage charger than is needed, but do worry about buying one that is lower as it can overload the charger.
[Acer Iconia A500] mickeyjuice:
Absolutely correct.
[Acer Iconia A500] atomicwedgie:
Yes... pulling too much amperage is a very bad thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] mikldom:
car charger

As stated earlier, having an output of 2 amps when the stock power supply only delivers 1.5, should not cause any issue.

The device only calls for 1.5 when dead, I am sure it needs less as it comes to charge.

The device will only accept what it needs. Absolutely necessary is the voltage (12V), and that the center tip is positive. As long as you have a power supply that puts out a 1.5 (1500 milliamp) output as a minimum, you will have no issue. Like I said, one of the included tips in the car charger at hel mart fits perfectly.

I have had mine hooked up quite a bit and no issues here.

btw, I betcha the 120volt dvd universal charger at helmart for 18 bux has a tip that fits and will work with a much longer cord.. I will give it a try in a couple of days as the 3 foot cord annoys me to all hell too.
[Acer Iconia A500] Stormyfour20:
I was concerned that the stock power supply is a switched AC supply. If anybody came up with a car charger, it would have to be a regulated 12 vdc supply since most vehicles charge around 14.5 vdc. But any of the home AC chargers mentioned in this thread would be ok as long as the power supply is regulated, but not necessarily a switched supply. Can anyone comment on this? Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] it2steve:
UPDATE... needless to say the AC Adapters from the US Acer store are the 'same' length as the original. Stupid of me to think they would have shipped different.

I am still working on finding some for the masses that are readily available somewhere.
[Acer Iconia A500] silic0re:
I'm 95% sure that the A500 can take 14.5V on the charge port. Almost every wall-wart voltage regulator on the market that isn't VERY pricey has extremely poor voltage regulation. If you put a meter on your wall wart that came with the A500, I would bet very few people get 12.0V on the output side. They are probably closer to 13.5V. Most electronics companies design the power input ports with about 50% safety margin (that's the standard where I work), so our 12V equipment can accept between 6V and 18V without overheating. If somebody was brave enough to take their A500 apart and look at the voltage regulator chip, we could find out exactly what the input range is.

This isn't to say that the A500 CAN handle 14.5V, but I would find it very surprising if it could not be plugged into a car charger.

BTW there are two types of power supplies (generally), switched and linear. Switched mode power supplies work by switching the input power on/off very quickly to the output pin, then using a low-pass filter to take out most of the harmonics. Linear power supplies are very inefficient and generate heat proportional to the voltage and current drop. The stock charger is a AC->DC step down transformer and might have a type of regulator, but I doubt it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Stormyfour20:
I appreciate the response and you answered my un-asked question which was if there is voltage regulation on the tablet. So as you suggested I put a meter on the power supply that comes with the tablet. As you mentioned, most 12vdc power supplies have a really varied range. But now comes the curious part. The output of the stock power supply (mine anyways) is 11.99vdc. Now that is awfully curious because it makes me think that the voltage needs to be accurate (+/- .5 or so). Hmmm....
[Acer Iconia A500] mikldom:
voltage output on car charger

well, seeing that the helmart charger is a switched type charger and is universal, it has output ratings of 3,6,9, and 12, I believe it is only 12 out at the pin..

It is a regulated power supply as far as I can tell, but, I will put my multi-tester on it today to verify.

I would not advise hooking a car cord straight from your lighter to a pin that would fit in your tablet, you will get the 14.5v voltage that others are stating. Probably not gonna kill it, but, stable voltage and output from a regulated device would be ideal. Wall power is stable, and I think we should be trying to replicate that in a car. I have been using my helmart universal DVD charger for over a week now with no issues.. charges the tablet fine, no heat problems, pin fits perfect.

I have a very small inverter I use in the car too, it puts out a stable 120v at 200 watts, on an input from 10v to 18v...
