Anyone having problems taking pictures and then they dint show up in gallery or the show up as a broken image icon? Happening more and more regularly on my arc.

Cheers
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Not for me. But noticed once that an photo I took took like a minute to show in gallery.
[Xperia Arc General] dogggie:
I don't have any problems simmilar to yours even if sometimes it takes some seconds before its refreshing the new pics in gallery
[Xperia Arc General] redesignni:
Hmmm, I did a factory reset so hopefully that will help. Ill post back with the results

Sent from my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with XDA Developers Premium

Is any1 using SD card increase makes your card read and write faster I think u should take a look at the app I have it on and no problems with mine it's on the market if needed

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.sdincrease.it
[Xperia Arc General] Mesho Arc:
Yeah I face it all the time, I tried factory reset but didn't help.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
Mesho have u tried this SD thing I said
[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
I have tried this one. Not that helpful for Arc (maybe we need more options in the slide bar?)

IIRC, the write/read speed was 5/15 MB/s before I use SD speed increase. And after trying 1k,2k,3k, and 4k buffer, the read speed is about the same (4.8~5.7) and probably have a slight boost at the first second of writing. The read speed increased a bit to 17~20 MB/s.
[Xperia Arc General] Mesho Arc:
sorry I din't see it, It requires a root, my phone is not.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
All u need is gingerbreak to root its simple and doesn't do anything bad to ya phone really and then u could use it I think the app is really good my speeds are loads better
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
For me sometimes after putting new photos or videos on my arc, it doesnt refresh gallery and all pictures are empty. I need to hit taskkiller and reopen gallery to fix that one, maybe we've got same prob.
[Xperia Arc General] oXunknownXo:
Maybe the gallery thumbnails are bugged, causing a strange behaviour(albums appearing and dissapearing). You can erase them this way:

Go to SD(with Astro or similar) - Android - Data - com.sonyericsson.gallery - delete "cache" folder.

Then restart the gallery and let it load everything.

I hope it helps.
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
The stock android gallery is pretty slow and dreadful, it used to cause my htc hero to grind to a halt, and it's still not exactly snappy on the arc.

If you want a fast gallery app, try quickpic from the market.
[Xperia Arc General] redesignni:
Still got the problem... cant take screenshots on phone either so cant show how it looks. Ive put a 32gb card into the phone would that make a difference?? just took about 10 pics tonite and cant view any of them.... broken image thumbnail pic.
[Xperia Arc General] raudidroid:
finally i found my solution!

my scans found no media, nothing in the gallery, nothing in the music player and i was going crazy, but then i found this:

If there is a (possibly empty) file named ".nomedia" (without quotations, and make sure you put the dot as the first character) in a folder of your card, then this folder WILL NOT BE SCANNED (if there is a .nomedia in the root of the SD card, then the SD card will NOT be scanned).

So make sure you delete any unwanted of those and then try

"Rescan Media" by Aditya Talpade (android market)
[Xperia Arc General] lastword112:
Disable Facebook inside Xperia, if you dont want to suffer from gallery load times, the gallery tries to sync a new folder called "new from friends" each time.
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
I didn't have a problem with the gallery till I got the 2.3.4 update. Like most, I have the same problem, it takes time to open a snap. Sometimes it's displayed as a broken image.

What would be the best alternative to the stock gallery app?

I've got one other problem. I had formatted my phone a month back. Before that, I backed up my photos. When I transferred them back, the order got messed up in the gallery and so are the dates. Anyway to rectify that?

hi

i got a problem with wlan:

i can activated it and even connect to my network but then only connections to ip adresses work.

Somehoe dns resolving doesnt work.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] the_icebear:
hi

I'm currently testing this rom+kernel combination - up to now I'm quite excited, battery life

seems to be very good - my xperia is running for about 22h up to now, though i have to keep wifi enabled.

All apps work - and overall speed is also good.

Only wifi is a little bit buggy:

i can activated it and even connect to my network but then only connections to ip adresses work.

Somehoe dns resolving doesnt work. Anyone else having this problem ?

Update: with fixed ip and dns settings in wifi advanced section and a reboot

it works currently - gonna try it with dhcp settings again later

Update2: deactivated fixed ip settings now, and got dns + ip via dhcp and it works,

dunno why dns resolution failed before - strange

Update3: Enabling and Disabling wifi regularly is not safe, I often ran into an state

were wifi could not be reactivated - it just says error in menu.

Keeping wifi enabled and just deleting the network i was connected to is my

current workaround.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shelter:
This is the only ext2 android build i got to work. For some reason all others hang.

The showstopper for me is that the lower buttons stop to work after some time, like answer call, hang up, navigation etc. Anyone know how to fix this?

It's also a shame that it doesn't mount the sd-card properly in Windows, I can see the driveletter but I can't access it.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
look in the kernel thread there is a tutorial for reanable the keys. And you cannot access the ext2 partitions in windows because these are linux partitions. and please search bevor posting this question was asked so often...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] the_icebear:
@shelter

To access your files use usb debugging mode for usb connection and qtadb or droid explorer as GUI
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shelter:
Yes, I saw the answer for the sdcard question in another thread, also the reload module solution.

While this "rom" seem nice I rather use another rom that doesn't mess up the keys for now.

Seems I can only use CWM or FAT32 based roms on my phone for some reason, the others hang.

how to injection this X1.FRX06.V2_07.050.11_ ??? in npkboot-cwm-v18_XPERIA1
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shelter:
Press Volume Down ONCE during booting. It's very hard to see but when the screen clears and pauses during boot, press Volume down... then you will get a menu and you can continue following the guide mentioned in the first post.

I had a hard time figuring that one out...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dkn00b:
1) Extract the X1.FRX06.V2_07.050.11_ and you should get couple of folders and one more zip " update-X1.FRX06.V2.(07.05.11) ".

Place "update-X1.FRX06.V2.(07.05.11)" file on your sdcard.

2) Extract "npkboot-cwm-v18_XPERIA1" and copy paste the npkboot folder into sdcard.

3) Run Haret.exe from within the npkboot folder and follow the rest of the instructions as given at the start of this thread :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] maikonzinho:
wifi

any idea how to put wiki to work?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] W0153R:
Set static IP and it should work, if not reboot a few times, maybe try turning on wifi in winmo before starting haret.

I haven't got DHCP to work reliable on my phone..but that might also be due to my network.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shelter:
Hmm... Call answer slider doesn't work. And hardware answer key doesn't work, so how do I answer calls?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
I had this problem once, then i realised that the hardware keys stopped working. So you have to use the Turbo Kernel with keypad drivers as module and install it this way
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] shelter:
Yes, but if you cant get past the answer slider you can't re-install them.. so it's a moment 22.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
yes, that's right. I currently the only solution is to wait for the call end and press camera button to enable keys and call back or wait for a recall. But I had this problem only once. (I don't get much calls)

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dkn00b:
Just loving this ROM.

Thanks to everyone who has worked on it :) .

- Wifi is a bit dodgy at times but still works. If you do manage to get an error, use Hot boot and that should fix the problem so you wont have to go into windows and out again :)

- Market download is a little slow, but works.

- 3G data pack doesn't work for me, no matter what ROM is use. (I have tried everything and can assure anyone that nothing is wrong with my settings).

- GPS keeps looking for a signal and doesn't connect.

- Hardware keys freeze, but using turbo kernel with keyboard as modules can fix the issue.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] allenultra:
Sorry for the question, I hope I won't offended anyone here.

Been reading a lot guides and just follow everything shown but still I'm not able to figure out when to click "volume down" button where Haret.exe should ask me to do so because I couldn't see that particular message popup.

Running my X1 with 826x ROM now, have experience flashing custom rom with DHD.

Would be glad if anyone can enlighten if I did anything wrong.....

I did extracted the zip files in the first post into the SDcard, made 4 partitions as required for CWM to work.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] marv144:
Thank you for this ROM.

Wifi and market are most important to me, and they work quite well.

Got 23,4 in NeoCore and 576 in Quadrant.

Wifi won't connect in ad-hoc mode. I plan to try to resolve that by adjusting some of the conf files, but it's not that important.

Can't say about battery, because mine is pretty bad, but the system did shutdown (ok, tried to shutdown ;) ) two times while charger was connected.

Had a couple of key freezes. I tried replacing the kernel with duckley's with camera and keypad drivers as modules. Sorted some things out and messed up quite a lot of other things, so I installed the original combination (from your first post) again. Now I'm waiting for keys to die again, so I could try bringing them back to life without restarting (talking about no-keypad-as-module kernel).

After that, i'll try to combine this ROM with some turbo kernels, just to see how far it can go in Quadrant.

Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun, so thank you once more.

Edit: Well it seems all is not that great...

After a long period of inactivity (6+ hours), everything goes crazy:

I get a message "you can now safely remove your SD card" (It seems whole filesystem is accessible though)

Keypad dies (I didn't manage to bring them back to life, so I guess I'l switch to kernel with keypad drivers as modules after all)

The system wants to shutdown (I press the camera button - display turns off, I press the power button - display turns on, then I can pull down notification bar and select a running application. After that, the shutdown is cancelled)

Wifi throws an error. If I kill service_manager in terminal with "ps", system does some kind of soft reset (without windows) and wifi works again, but keypad is still dead.

I really like this rom and don't want to quit it just yet, so for now, I'll try to find a better kernel+startup+haret combination. For example, I noticed that npkboot-cwm19.zip contains and older version of haret.exe than npkboot-cwm-v18_XPERIA1.zip, so I have to sort thing out a little bit.

Oh yeah, I didn't have any success with my ad-hoc connection either. Tried to manually edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, but the system still says it's out of reach.

Ok, i guess that if we are able to manage the front LEDS for notification in the future we also are able to get a "turn them off" function.

Anyone found a way yet? I am desperate too. I might use coloured wax and melt a but on those two lights to reduce brightness

Enter this command in ADB, you can control the LEDs immediately:

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

echo 0 : turns off.

echo 255: turns on with max brightness.

With the simple command, maybe you can write a application to control them.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafciass:
1. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications on your device and locate the Market in the list of installed applications. Tap on it, and clear both its data and cache from the resulting screen. If the Market won’t show all your installed apps under the Downloads section, this will likely fix that issue as well.

2. Make sure your phone recognizes your SD card. Try turning off your device, taking out the memory card and putting it back in. Then check with a file manager on your phone that the SD card in fact can be accessed properly.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besca147:
I don’t know if it’s an age thing, as in phone years = two years being geriatric or what but it’s been doing some weird stuff.

Periodically, it’ll crash. The screen will totally freeze with it either on the home screen or a black screen as though it’s switched off. Ho hum, yet another battery pull to rectify it.

It doesn’t like too many text messages so I have to regularly do a bit of housekeeping there. Related to that, typing is starting to irritate me on there. The predictive seems to have a mind of its own and, well, it just winds me up so I end up making calls instead of texting.

Some of my text messages have vanished without me deleting them! I’ve noticed texts can be located in the SIM contact and the phone contact yet strangely my SIM tells me it has no texts. Nevertheless, when I’ve decided to embarked on a housekeeping mission, I learn that messages I intended on keeping have gone before I’ve even started deleting anything!

For a while, the phone also didn’t seem to know where I was. I was and still am in the UK and a few times, it put me in Balkan. That’s great. I’m all for a free holiday but it could have warned me so I could have packed properly!

It likes to use data even when I’m not even touching the phone! Whenever I pick up the phone, I always check next to my network that there is no counter. However, often when I pick it up I can see an hour or two has passed on a counter meaning its gobbling data. What’s spooky about this is that I’m meticulous about switching stuff off that uses data and it still turns itself on! This was the whole reason I didn’t take this phone on holiday last year; I reverted to my LG Renoir because it was safer!

The last thing it’s done, just a few minutes ago is re-start itself! I wasn’t even using it; it was just sat on the table next to me minding its own business and decided to re-start. Why?

After the Balkan incident happened a few times, my Mum said my phone was crazy. I agree with her.

Has anyone else had weird stuff happen on their phones?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
If you have not tried it yet I would do a hard reset. Power your HD2 on while holding down both the volume up and down buttons and follow the on screen instructions when the come up.

Also make sure to back all of your personal data up from the HD2 first as this will wipe it clean.

This made me laugh hilariously too by the way.

This is something I could try. I’ll get doing a bit of housekeeping first though. Thanks :D

I’m on the original version that came with the phone. I think that might be 1.43.

When you mentioned a ROM update, I thought :eek:

I’m so overwhelmed with the information on this forum. There are so many ROMS it’s hard to know what to pick and I’m seeing far too many posts where people have tried to update and something’s gone wrong.

I just don’t have the level of understanding about phone software to carry this out successfully.

If it were as easy as it is to update my iPod via iTunes, then I’d do it but all this looks way too scary :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rauschkugl:
if you want to keep a stock rom, an update is very easy. and a lot of bugs in the first releases have been fixed.

just go to the website of your carrier and download the rom in the support section. if your phone isn't branded you can download the newest version on the htc website.

if you upgrade your rom you also have to backup all your data, cause it will get lost during the update process.

you can use pim backup for contacts and messages, or just use microsoft myphone.
