In France the unlocking is available for Free after three months but i know there is some resellers that do this trick for about 15 euros. Check resellers in your country or call them it's more safe than using internet.
[XPERIA X8 General] barfly9000:
Hi all,

I have been having and ongoing issue with the wifi connection on my Xperia X8. When I download a large file (20mb+) such as a podcast via Google listen the wifi will drop and reset. Sometimes, but not always, the wifi will be totally disabled at this point. The wifi will usually drop somewhere between 5mb and 25mb of data downloaded. Google listen throws up a time out error at this point. I have to say that it feels like a process is kicking in and dumping the connection rather than it being dependent on the amount of data. It will also occasionally do the same thing when using other apps that use the wifi (I have noticed it when using Weatherbug and also Words With Friends), although I have not noticed it doing this when using Opera Mobile.

I have done a full reinstall on the phone once already and it continued to have the same issue. After the reinstall I only installed Google Listen to rule out any conflicts. It also happens more frequently on my wifi at home (BT home hub) than on the wifi at work (Sky netgear). I did not experience any issues prior to the last Android update.

The reason I have decided to post this is because I think I may have stumbled upon why this is happening and it may help someone with more knowledge than I to get to the bottom of the problem. Today I turned of sync and the problem vanished. I have downloaded multiple podcasts today with no issues at all. There has been no other change to the phone.

Has anyone else been suffering similar issues?

The phone is also standard. Not rooted.

Cheers.

Please:(, I want to know what is the most stabe rom, now I use CM6.1.3 by Wolfbreak but it has many bugs and become slow sommetimes, please excuse my English, thank you.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantk20111:
Erickwill's 2.1 ROM, easily.

It's as fast if not faster than all other 2.2 and 2.3 ROMS.

No functionality is lost because it's 2.1, so camera and stuff completely works.

And just today I got my batter to last 4 days. 2G Networks, no 3G, but I used music 2 hours a day every day as well as 1.5 hrs browsing the webs and messaging/facebook. The 2nd best I got was 2 days with WB's ROM. Amazing. The battery life is the real seller for me for this ROM.

Rock stable, not one crash, excellent performance, and godly battery life, and regularly updated :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941745

Of course it differs by taste as well, and there are also other amazing ROMs, but this one is just my personal favorite.

EDIT:GAH! Didn't read the title properly, you're looking for Froyo, sorry! In that case, Cobrato has a nice MIUI ROM, but imo WB's rom is the best 2.2 one.

But overall I like eric's 2.1 ROM the best :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riginal:

if you mean froyo Cobrato's MIUI is a good one
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:

Cobratos MIUI is very fast, Im just not an MIUI fan and the camcorder was lackluster compared to wolfbreak. Im using pzafroyo 2.2, Its real smooth and everything is working bu camera zoom. Ill be trying the ewjet 2.1 today, im gonna miss flash player tho.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hussain Isa:
Achotjan froyo 2.2.1 (v2.2) is the most stable ROM

is made by wolfbreak with working carmera/ camcorder

for barcode scanning use scanlife from the market
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sina1:
i tryed all of the 2.2 roms all of them has issues specially with Bluetooth headset.

they dont recognize the 2nd partition in ur sd.they gave fc in many other application that use the camera.no zoom in cam no flash light ..etc...

but if you wanna be with 2.2 i prefer miuitrip has great battery life but sometimes the voice in bluetooth headst become very low .thatz my 2 cents

thanks in advance
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
The giveaway took place in the C++/Game Developer panel, which discussed the use of native code in Android applications (games, in particular, are likely to use the NDK as opposed to standard Dalvik). And aside from winning some karma points from developers, Sony’s motivation for handing out the phones are pretty clear: give developers a phone that features the gamepad, and they’re much more likely to make sure their games work flawlessly with it.

[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Does anyone know if these are carrier unlocked and able to connect to Fastboot? I'm seeing a few popping up on eBay in the $500-$600 range and I think I'm going to take the plunge.
[Xperia Play General] jollyrogue:
If they're from Sony then they're most likely unlocked phones. I can't imagine them going "here, have a phone, it only works on -network- though"
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Thanks. That's what I was thinking.
[Xperia Play General] CB620:
I got mine from ebay for 475 best offer. Its unlocked no carrier markings. Its from Google io so I would assume so. They were given to devs
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Damn, you got a good deal. Should have waited a week to buy mine, lol. Wish I had future premonition that they were doling these out.

However, still kind of bummed devs aren't taking this seriously...
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Wow! I got one for a Best Offer of $550. Now I feel like I should have gone lower. Ah well. I was expecting to pay at least that anyway. Better than spending around $700 for one. :)
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
can you pm me the item number? I wanna check the listing.
[Xperia Play General] CB620:
i might resale. the price is fluctuating seen some for 500 or best offer and seen some on auction going up to 625. i have to see. devs are selling their plays and keeping the tablets. i seen the tablets going for $1000+

my best offer was $515 but i used ebay bucks i had left over so it bought it down to $475.

[Xperia Play General] liaoip:
Excuse me for my ignorant question but is it correct to assume that even though these Google I/O Xperia Play's are unlocked that it's only for SIM and you would still need to use Gingerbreak to get root access right?

I'm asking because I'm in the process of buying one so I want to know how much I need to tinker with it. I also assume I won't need to debrand it and that it is pretty stock no?
[Xperia Play General] persain:
From what i could tell on eBay there were a couple CDMA phones.

As well the GSM ones all appear to be the exact same phone as the Canadian one R800a just unbranded so i'd guess root access would have to be done via gingerbreak, however as mine arrives monday i'll update if this is the case.

Lucky you, i ended up at $540 as my timing sux.
[Xperia Play General] kitsVA:
Awesome phone at crazy price. I also got the dock and it looks very good.

I got it on ebay for $450 (item number 120725728032) and add a 10% back in ebay bucks as I bought it before the IE9 + Window 7 8% bonus ebay bucks ended. Very sweet deal at $405 + $7 for almost overnight shipping. I think the seller didn't care for much profit and also he didn't mention R800a prominently to get attention.

It's not much thicker than X10 and is actually a little shorter. The four buttons it has should have been on Arc along with the front camera. Will be using it for a week or two before I pass it on to my son while I go back to my Arc.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
I have one of these coming tomorrow (ebay, ~$500 shipped). Is there any difference in software compared to the Verizon model? Is it going to be primarily stock 2.3?

This may sound like a foolish question, but, considering these aren't widely available, does everyone think these will get proper updates from SE?
[Xperia Play General] Frogybloop:
Has anyone gotten the verizon version of one of these phones? I was thinking about grabbing one on ebay before they disappear to use on my verizon account, but wanted to check ahead of time to see if the bootloader on the developer version would be unlockable. Can anyone confirm this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
I played with the OEMName reg settings as posted here to tinker with the other oem apps, and it stopped all my applications from working, I had to hard reset to get any apps to function again. Luckily, I had saved my 7008 backup files and I used the method posted [url="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060103&highlight=backup+file+locations+zune]here[/url] to revert my locked 7392 Focus to the 7008 backup. I had saved the backup. These are some observations:

- When I updated to 7390 and created the backup, my phone was already unlocked and prevent unlock was done, when I restored my backup, the unlock was preserved

- the unlock retained through my subsequent update to 7392 (expected, but nice to know)

- The sideloaded apps on the phone at the time of the 7008 backup also installed with the backup

Even with my phone on the pin lock, as soon as I connected it to the PC, Zune opened and synced and prompted for the update. Is this new bahavior?

I was able move the saved backup files into the Windows Phone Update folder after the phone was connected and synced.

Once I was back to 7008, I hard reset the phone and updated again without setting up my Live Account info to create a "pure" 7008 backup for the purpose of posting here for others to tinker with.

If there is interest, i will post the files when I get home.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] deltazulu:
That backup could be very handy to have around! Please post it!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
Backup is for one phone only, not all around. I know, you can change the DeviceId, but it will fail when you try to restore to another phone. I guess a backup is useless for others.

The best backup is the firmware itself. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
I do believe this will work. There are two .xml files in the restore point. Each of these has a deviceID field. I believe that if you change these fields to your own unique device id number and wait until after the phone is connected to zune to replace the files, you may be able to use someone else's backup files on your phone.

Also, I reverted my phone to 7008, but once there, I was unable to get the chevron unlock to work. I'm not sure why this is or what I did wrong.

Later tonight, I will try to restore my wife's phone using my restore point as a proof of concept
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
Proof of Concept failed...

this is what I did...

1.	First, I located the existing backup files on my computer.

C:\Users\#USER#\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update

In this location, there is a folder with a long name that looks like this:

B12da62f - d8d2d122 – 81d60512 - 6aaa3f12

This folder holds your restore files. This number is your unique device ID number.

2.	I copied this folder and its contents to a safe place in case I needed it later. I have made it a practice to make a backup copy of all my backups so I can restore to any point. Restoring your own backups definitely works. I’ve done this several times with many old and new backups. See this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060103&highlight=backup+file+locations+zune for details on how

3.	Next, I got a backup file that didn’t belong to my phone and I edited the .xml files

-	in the properties folder, you’ll find properties.xml

-	I opened this file using notepad and change the #’s in the DeviceUrlId field to my unique device ID number

<DeviceUrlId>zune-tuner://windowsphone/XXXXXXXX%20-%20XXXXXXXX%20-%20XXXXXXXX%20-%20XXXXXXXX</DeviceUrlId>

-	in RestorePoint\5372F2DE-F333-4717-9CB8-1846BE19900E\Data there is Manifest.xml

-	I alsoopened this file using notepad and change the X’s in the DeviceId field to my unique device ID number

<DeviceId>XXXXXXXX - XXXXXXXX - XXXXXXXX - XXXXXXXX</DeviceId>

4.	I connected my Focus to the computer and opened and waited for Zune to open

-	waited for it to finish syncing

-	left my Focus connected and Zune open.

5.	Then I replaced the authentic backup files with the edited files from the other phone.

-	Opened the backup file location on your computer from step 1

-	Delete the existing Properties and RestorePoint folders

-	Copied the Properties and RestorePoint folders from step 3 into this folder

6.	I returned to Zune, went into Settings, then go to Update

-	Wait for Zune to finish looking for an update

-	It indicated that I had a restore point

-	I selected to restore and followed the prompts

-	All appears to be going well

7.	On Step 3: Restoring Backup, the phone restarts, the and the Backup fails

-	It spits out error code 801812E0

- I can't find anything on this code anywhere

At the beginning of step 3 it must be checking something in one of the other files?

IDK...

I do think this could work if we knew what Zune was checking that gives it the fail.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
A quick look at the data files suggests to me that they may be encrypted. This would make sense, since otherwise you could overwrite the OS at a very low level by modifying your backup and then "restoring" it.

I bet the encryption key is stored in the device somehow, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
they are encrypted and sighed against your imei and CID from the sd card.

and it could be that it is sighed online when you are downloading the update (but I don't know that for sure)

but the main problem is that you can't use another his backup because the activation email adress is stored in the backup.

and it is way to complicated to get that out because it is stored on to many parts of the backup.

so if there was a way to hack the encryption you could only use it on your own phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
I don't think the email has anything to do with it.

I have tried all variables of restore files to phones with live activation set up and not set up.

With the false restore files, it fails the same regardless.

With restore files from the phone, it works the same, regardless of what live account is activated on the phone or in the restore.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
As I mentioned, it is not the way we can walk. One phone, one backup, another phone, another and so on. Sad but true.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
well, FWIW, here are the 7008 backup files...

7008_Backup.zip

the file is 515 MB.

There is no Live account associated with the backup and I've already replaced the device ID info in the two xml files with X's
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EnderPsp:
It would've spared you some time, I did it before you and it's not working. As ceesheim said, they are tied to hardware.

I'm looking now to patch Zune to bypass that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
Thanks, I didn't see that. I hope the "clean" 7008 restore files are of use.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] efjay:
Is there the possibility to extract specific files ie those related to SMS and use them in another backup?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EnderPsp:
Not at the moment, as the backup files are encrypted. Different people (myself too) are working on various approaches, to try to access or unpack the rom files (from backups).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] efjay:
Thanks for the reply.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I wrote something about this topic overhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but maybe all we would need to do is change the activeid and the folder, that goes 8-4-4-4-12 with random numbers. Is there another 7008 backup to compare that number with? maybe all you need is the activeid for your phone, if phones have seperate active ids.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Opps, my bad, you're right I'm confusing the two...

Although I don't believe that I've seen any settings that dictate whether the proximity sensor is on or off, on my device it just worked out of the box, switching screen off during call when phone is lifted to ear and back on automatically when pulled away
