Oh and BTW having an x64 system still won't affect ODIN. Because x64 versions of windows have an emulation layer that runs x86 apps natively.

If that were the case then every single video game I own except for Crysis wouldn't run properly on my computer.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
Thanks for clearing that up and by the way it was not a no fact assumption. I never claimed that it was correct I was simply passing on information that I had read else where and stating that V1.3 is better to use.

I have no problems flashing with V1.3
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmagritte:
In some cases after doing a wipe and installing a new cyanogenmod ROM, after signing in with my Google account, it automatically restores some system settings (notably my WiFi WPA keys) and automatically reinstalls most of my market apps. This time it didn't. Also, it doesn't seem to do so with the stock ROM.

What determines when this does or doesn't happen and is there any way to force a restore?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
You could try going to settings-accounts-and sync all with your google account. Otherwise it may have been some weird fluke
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmagritte:
Yeah, I tried that but it didn't do anything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
My theory is the first time you sign in with a new ROM google thinks it's a new phone. So it restores all of your applications automatically. But if you go back to a ROM you have used before it thinks everything is still on the phone so it doesn't push anything.

Thus a 3rd party back up app is needed if you flop ROMS alot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmagritte:
I guess that makes sense. Although, the phone itself has a factory reset option, so you would think there would also be an option to restore certain settings on any clean phone. Something Google needs to work on. I have everything back anyway through Titanium Backup, but I'm reluctant to restore system settings like WiFi passwords. I'll just have to put them back manually, which isn't so bad thanks to lastpass...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my2sense:
Are you using a 2.3.4 rom? I thought I read that there were some issues with google restore and 2.3.4 but I could be wrong.

Yes, I'm on 2.3.4...

Ok this is just driving me nuts. When I push phone to make a call the #'s or contacts it shows in the background are just useless. How do I make it display call history in the background or at least #'s I call alot. Seems really stupid but its driving me nuts.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopediculous:
What Rom are you using? Does it have a home launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro? If so, all you gotta do is change the phone icon to the phone application. I know its already set like that, but by redoing it, it fixes that issue. I'm running The Virus Rom with Dark horse theme. Hope this helps ya.

I tried to googling it (for whatever reason, people answer you suggesting a battery voltage app) and I tried to see all the /proc/cpuinfo and similar informations, but I couldn't find anywhere the EXACT voltage of the cpu in that particular moment.

Any hints?
[Atrix 4G General] tecnic08:
Every time when I plug in my phone while it is off. It will start up ,normally it will go into the charging screen that show the battery level ,but I don't have that screen! It will stuck at DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY page and stay their forever. I need to pull my battery out then turn on again and it will go into the OS.

What happened to my phone?
[Atrix 4G General] drumercalzone09:
Have you flashed any ROMs such as GingerBlur or rooted it?

do you (or did you) have CWM installed?

Yes, I used to have CWM Installed
[Atrix 4G General] tecnic08:
Still waiting for answer
[Atrix 4G General] aeg4058:
Install CWM again, open CWM and press the Charging mode button. That will allow you to charge the phone while its off and display the battery screen.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenmckenney:
if the new version of gingerbread comes out, i doubt that the camera would have support on our x10s, i think that sony ericsson will just give up on developing the gingerbread for our devices, cause the apps would be out dated due to the only use of the new.apk files that will have new parsing ways due to the honeycomb app support, i bought my x10 outright for 700 bucks and i would be reallly pissed off if they delay the update to 2.3 as they did to 2.1 when 2.2 was already out, i paid for a high end device and the stopped supporting us untll we heard about the 2.3 generic update that we where receiving, im very angry with them for just leaving us in the dust, when the x8 even has more support than our devices, if this happens, i want the x10 community to make a complaint to make sure that sony ericsson never is allowed to make a nexus device cause it seems to me that they just screwed us over with the x10. and it seems to me when they released the neo, arc and play, that they are wanting something, and if their developers couldnt handle making a device with a single core processor, how are they gonna support a dual core processor in a phone, they screwed up once and if i dont get an update past 2.3 because they started off with an outdated software in the beginning, this phone seems to be just a problem device, and why should anyone support them in the future, lets make sure if that they cant handle our phone, that they cannot handle a developers phone. lets complain as a group to the google developers, cause this is ridiculous, expensive device, problems and hardships = me as a customer very angry at a company, disappointment in the past is always a bad rep for the company, i do believe that google pics their nexus devices with the amount of success with the phone and the arc was like the second gingerbread device released. so most to sell because its a pretty awesome phone, there trying to prove that they can do it, but not support a high end phone, us as the community of x10 owners, can do this if its big enough

jesus dude, that is one gigantic run on sentence...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sopdogg:
The truth of the matter is that all things in the end die. The X10 has reached that point in the eyes of SE. Unfortunately, support for the X10 will be more than likely dead after the update. SE will be shifting focus on new phones and development. It is sad, but let's face it. Did SE continue updating the Xperia X1 after a year? Nope. I bought that thing for $800 and it broke 3 times on me in less than a year. Your $700 you used to buy the X10 was the price you paid to live on bleeding edge of fashion/technology. It is incredible that the X10 will even get 2.3 update. Also, do you know what is the difference between 2.4 and 2.3 is? Rumors are they are one and the same. With the Gingerbread update, our phones will be relevant for another 6months to a year (probably extended due to new custom roms). So in the end, be happy, enjoy the ride and get bigger better phone once it comes out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenmckenney:
i wanted a bigger phone, thats why i got the x10, the potentials of this device are endless. and with experimenting with the custom roms theres multiple problems. the number one problem is the camera, and then wlod reboots, i try to develop but i cant do it, i remember back in the days with my HTC Dream and Magic that they made them so customizable now sony wont even unlock our bootloaders. but they will unlock their new devices seems pointless, it would make life a whole lot easier if it was unlocked, but no we have to find different solutions, i wanted to keep this phone because it has a developers potential and in my opinion was one of the best phones at the time just before samsung released the galaxy s devices, in all of this, this phone had so much potential, and all that potential is down the drain

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister J:
Yes, this is a high end device, but in the world of smartphones, nothing lasts forever. I'm actually very surprised we even received 2.3.3. If a smartphone is out today, by tomorrow it will be old news. This is the new generation of smartphones sadly.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenmckenney:
im 16 give it up:P if you look at multiple devices, alot are still receiving updates like the galaxy s devices. they started off with 2.1 and they received froyo, man froyo is the bomb, its my favorite android yet, i even like it more than gingerbread cause i find it more cleaner, i like all of android, but i think my next choice wont be sony ericsson, probably a Motorola atrix cause that thing is purely amazing, just playing with one instore, it makes me drool. Motorola has a really good track record so i think that they will be the next nexus holders, they definatly will be the tablet developer device holder for the first one whatever they will call it, and if they can pull off a huge 10 inch qHD display. peace ipad 2 but then apple will come out with SUPER BIGMASSSIVE RETNA DISPLAY CAN YOU SEE THE TEXT CLEARLY APPLE falling behind slackers
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImS0Raw:
The Retina Display is not as great as you think it is. You will only have no pixels when your letters are very tiny or pictures... I wouldn't buy for that a motorola. Ever a motorola or lg is never a motorola or lg again. Just suckish companies, no support and phones fail. My lg and motorola were in one month gone. My x10 is still looking very new after more then 7 months of heavy use!

Brandon mckinney? From atlanta ga? You the guitar kid?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
I dunno. I think that I would go with a new Galaxy SII when it comes out on a ATT frequency. I almost bought a Galaxy the last time, but the ergonomics and the bad GPS kept me away but I hungered for the 16G internal storage and the 1G ram, which are worse shortcomings of the X10, IMHO. I'm on 2.1, and I'm awaiting GB, and we'll see how it goes. Can't be bothered changing roms every day/week. Even with my contacts backed up, the market remembering all the apps I had/have, it's too much of a PITA to keep screwing around with it.

The atrix has some bad tech reviews, but it's certainly a fantastic concept and the second time around, it will be much better (with a quad core ;-) ).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenmckenney:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh235:
Chill....

Your phone will be out of date....

Deal with it.

I think a lot of angst is created because of the 'mighty 1GHz' processor in the x10, people assume that is is nearly as fast as the current-gen snapdragons etc. It isn't. The graphics are sub-par and the memory is slow. Sure the x10 is fast and can keep up nicely with its own generation of devices but it is not 'new'.

Recently Google have been changing their attitude to releasing honeycomb to tablet manufacturers and guess what, many devices are not going to be compatible. Take the Advent Vega tablet, packing a first-gen Tegra 2 processor, its not going to be officially supported, so there will not be proper hardware acceleration for the interface and probably only sdk builds of honeycomb.

Dang...

Google are changing the way they release their operating systems and changing the requirements for manufacturers to get the latest official build of their software. This is going to help with fragmentation and give a more consistent experience across devices. They are also aiming for a longer release cycle on each version of android. As ice cream is going to be based heavily on honeycomb, I would think that Google would add similar restrictions and it is likely that the snapdragon in the x10 would not be supported, if so, neither would the nexus 1 or the desire etc.

There is nothing Sony can do about this, sure they made mistakes with the x10, but hey, they have promised us gingerbread and have given us dual touch. If you look at the ark, play etc, SE seems to have taken alot of peoples views into account and have realised that if they don't give the absolute bleeding edge version of android people will whine and ***** that they don't have flash or apps2sd or the biggest release number. If you care, root, flash a rom, install apps2sd, whatever you want to do. If you care, you can do something about it.

And finally about the bootloader, the devs have found ways around it and are giving us fresh kernels, I would not completely write off SE's argument that it is licensing issues as these can make a huge difference and complicate the process - A process that is SE's porogative anyway. Even on my Nokia n800, one of the most open devices, Nokia had decided that it didn't want to pay the licence to Imagination Technologies for use of the PowerVR graphics on the SoC's it bought, hence, no graphics coprocessor...

I think Sony gets too much flak, sure it took ages for 2.1, and it is taking a while for gingerbread, but the phone works, solid as a rock in fact and it only crashes because I have seriously fk'd around with the settings, I can deal with that. My phone is out of date, but I don't care, I am a tinkerer and I can make it do everything I need, I am looking forward to gingerbread as I love the camera too much on stock, but I have jit, link2sd, barnacle wifi tether and all sorts of other mods. Gingerbread will be great, and will definitely tide me over to my next dual core Ice cream toting superphone..... when it comes out...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krispygreen:
@tomh235, what a wonderful post man, u just truly explain what android is all about let me explain.

I was once an iphone fiend, stuck with my 3gs, jailbreaked, and it bricked due to mods that i've tryed, I wanted to upgrade to the iphone 4 and couldn't cuz it was reserved for new customers first, I tryied through many ways and it was almost like the contract I was about 2 sign was saying "in exchange of your unborn child". People around me was trying everything 2 get an iphone 4 and when I had a look at this, I was like that's it, what else. The seller was saying "its a revolution in the smartphone world and bla bla bla". When I look at the androids, he couldn't tell me nothing about it. So I dare myself with the xperia x10. I should have read more about the phone before getting one though lol but Ive learned so much bout computers, technology, linux, im no dev but a good tester/user. I will never go back to an iphone promise.

What i wanna send as a statement is that if you are the kind of people that always go to your carrier cuz your phone isn't snappy from time to time or really need regular updates and baby like support,stick to your iOs that works good for most people. If your the kind of user that isn't scare of tweaking, searching for mods, get an android. There so much different phones, OS, features, roms. Nothing 2 bored about. Xperia x10 is okay on froyo, waiting for official gingerbread, no regret about my 3GS that i replaced the screen and sold it 400$ loll iphone fiends.

Yeah I know i'm gonna get a bunch of crap for this but its an animation that looks like the boot animation from Mac OSX. I don't even own a mac but I think it has a nice clean simple boot animation. Sound coming soon...

for CM7 and a couple other roms put it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip

and for the stock rom/sense based it goes at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

I've read that for sense based it may need to be called VZWbootanimation.zip or something along those lines just replace whatever is there.

permissions need to be set at rw-r--r-- or an upside down L on the left side in root explorer if you don't understand that.

[HTC Incredible S] filipharvey:
I'm currently trying to compile a new ROM based on the WWE GB release.

Can anyone tell me how to add the CRT animations?
[HTC Incredible S] angerized:
Haha, I have been trying to do that myself since this morning, but failed miserably (but I am a rookie, this explains that).

What I read is that the animations are in system/framework/framework-res.apk, which is a renamed zip anyway.

So what I understood is: unzip this file, replace anim/lock_screen_enter.xml and/or anim/lock_screen_behind_enter.xml with the proper ones, rezip the newly framework-res.zip, rename to .apk, and supposedly build the ROM with this.

But I tried with l0st.prophet's files from LPRemixHD, and it did not work here :'(

I am sure there is something I missed.
[HTC Incredible S] filipharvey:
So am I mate!

Haven't played with ROMs since the Hero, and even that was mild fiddling - This will be my first proper ROM.

Could you attach those files for me, to save me downloading the whole ROM - I'm on fairly limited bandwidth.

Trouble is, I won't really be able to test this until my XTC Clip arrives - I'm just getting prepared! :D
[HTC Incredible S] MarylandCookie:
You cant just replace xml files, the apk has to be decompiled, xmls modified and then the apk recompiled or else you will get a boot loop.
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
There's quite a few changes to services.jar, framework-res.apk and HTC-resources.apk. I can't remember off the top of my head but I suggest you take the files from my Rom, take stock files and compare.
[HTC Incredible S] filipharvey:
Thanks for that. I'll give it a look over.

What is converter thing? You shouldn't have used Windows flasher, you better should have used TPT.
[Blade General] harmohn:
Sounds like your blade didn't convert to gen2 correctly; possibly due to a corrupt download.

If you can get in to recovery flash a gen1 rom & see if it boots correctly.

If successful then use TPT method to try and convert again to gen2 (it's easier).

I like it, the only thing that I really need to modify on the case is that it is extremely tight, and it covers up the micro SD card slot, so I have to cut the case open where the slot is.
