OK, I did like you suggested-clean install of the ROM first then nothing but v1.2.0.

I tried all options and didn't have any problems with "Reboot Device," "Reboot Custom Kernel," and "Power Off." Then I chose "Reboot into Recovery" and I went into recovery. But when I chose "Reboot phone" from the recovery menu, I got stuck with "Sony Ericsson" screen, just as I did last time.

I noticed that the ROM uses z's 0.3 recovery. For the heck of it I installed FreeXperia X10 Recovery from the flashtool, then suddenly it works! Problem solved, I believe.

I noticed one thing though-after installing FreeXperia X10 Recovery I seem to have lost the ability to get into recovery by old method of pressing back button while "Sony Ericsson" is showing. Now I can access the recovery only from the widget. No biggie, but kind of strange?

Anyway, thanks for the help and I'm glad it's working now. Here is the entire contents of the chargemon file I pulled BEFORE installing FreeXperia X10 Recovery.

v1.2.0 is the one gaving me the system force close error
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
can u post logcat when launching the app?

also on which device & rom are u having trouble with?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] The Gingerbread Man:
Would you consider making an option through the menu button to change the colour of background and colours on the widget? Would be a cool feature I reckon ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
already on it ;)

check the to-do list in 1st post

Sorry didn't know it was there, thanks bro
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] movelbit:
In your picture you have shortcut description under the reboot icon. How do you do that?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
one is a widget icon.... other one with text is an app drawer icon pulled to the homescreen ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] The Gingerbread Man:
If we can just make a short cut to the app now its in form of a proper app is there much point of have the widget part built into the app itself? Short cut and widget both open to exactly the same menu so just seems a little unnessesary to me.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Crocodile1973:
maybe some people don't want the text under the icon say what it is. I dunno, its doing no harm really. Not like its using a ton of space.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] movelbit:
In fact, I prefer to have the text. Or it would be different from other shortcuts I have. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
guys i have just kept the widget icon for personal preference... if u like it use it.. else there is always app drawer icon which can be placed on home screen...

all options are provided to u guys user whichever suits ur needs ;)

P.S.: get ready to test new feature: HOT REBOOT
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] The Gingerbread Man:
Don't mean to sound stupid but what happens in 'hot reboot'? Obviously a reboot but I don't understand the 'hot'. Would you mind explaining a little please?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
yes ofcourse...

'hot reboot' is basically restarting system server... so the device actually doesnt reboot... jsut the systemserver reboots.. its done to save time of kernel booting... some say that it can cut down reboot times by half... but some have reported that it just freezes system...

i am currently testing it out for our Xperia devices...

P.S.: Arc/Play/Neo soon to be added to supported devices of this app :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
Xperia Reboot Options (preview) now released for Arc/Play/Neo!!!

P.S.:

dont worry guys i am NOT abandoning our older Xperia devices... the above preview version was just posted so that those users can get a 'feel' of the app... BTW the app is FULLY FUNCTIONAL... just doing some tweaking... will release v1.3.0 for our devices (x10 / x10 mini / x10 mini pro / x8) as and when i complete it...

Cheers!

Hoping someone can help out here. I did a factory reset last night and for some reason have lost a bunch of the stock wallpaper's.

I'm really just after the all blue one, with the little white strands coming up from the bottom... (not live, just a static wallpaper)

If anyone has that and can upload it for me that would be awesome

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
I am N1 newbie but not Android newbie - have been using rooted Droid Incredible as my "main" phone for several months.

I just purchased officially unlocked N1 that is currently activated on prepaid T-Mobile account in USA and in future it will be used on my vacation in Europe.

Phone came with OS v. 2.2

I read a lot and things are sure different for N1 comparing to DInc. For DInc there was just one OS update and just one way to root it. For N1 its almost too much of a good thing for someone who hasn't followed it until now - 3 or 4 official OS updates and gazillion ways to root :D.

At this time I would like to root the phone (definitely, so that I can use third-party apps that require root access) and upgrade OS (possibly). I am not planning to use custom ROMs at this time but would like to try them in the future if rollback to stock ROM is possible.

As I already mentioned - my phone currently uses OS 2.2 and when I checked for an update via phone menu no updates were found. I was connected to internet at the time.

Questions:

1) From what I read some of the official ROMs between 2.2 and 2.3.4 (latest version) had problems. Are these versions even worth considering now that 2.3.4 is out?

2) Are there any known issues in 2.3.4 that are not present in 2.2?

3) What are advantages of going from 2.2 to 2.3.4?

4) Can I upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.4 directly? All guides I found usually describe 2.2->2.2.1 etc - that is ROMs are updated consequently as they were released.

5) Should I a) update ROM to the latest and then root or b) first root 2.2 and then update ROM?

6) What are advantages of rooting with unlocking bootloader as opposed to rooting without unlocking bootloader?

Read the wiki. It is there to answer most of your ?s. Or use the search function.

If anything is still unclear ask about it and you will get help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
I read the WIKI and searched and it is still unclear.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
1. 2.3.4 is the only version that currently has a fix for the recently found security hole that affects every version of Android other than 2.3.4. But this only affects non-https logins over an open wifi network, and people have to be scanning it.

2. I think the only major issue (depending on who you talk to) is the 2-3 second delay when you first answer a call before your microphone works. It has never really been a bother to me, and doesn't seem to affect everyone (maybe some just take longer to talk after they swipe, IDK).

3. There are a lot. Bugfixes, better UI, faster, support for video calling with GTalk (although obviously, only the back camera works, but you can still receive fine).

4. Almost, you can upgrade directly to 2.3.3. I don't think I have enough posts to add links, but a quick google search of "nexus one full gingerbread update" (without quotes) showed some results and the second one for me is how to manually update to Gingerbread. From there, you have to root the phone, because there are no hacks known to root 2.3.4 yet. This is where it gets a bit tricky because flashing a new update will kill your root. There are a number of guides on xda which can walk you through this part, because it is pretty detailed.

5. Kinda touched on with the above. Don't wait until you get to 2.3.4 until you root.

6. An unlocked bootloader makes things a lot easier. You can actually root your phone if it is running 2.3.4, because this allows you to load a custom recovery, which will give you access to the system partition of your phone. From there, you can add the files needed for root and remove the ones that will replace the recovery. The only benefit to keeping your bootloader unlocked is that it will keep its warranty through HTC, although HTC has been really good about replacing defective phones even if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Touch HD General] cobblers1:
I have recently got a 2008/9 HD Touch(3.8 scr) but would like to know how to change Home Screen.Tried everything I can think off ; but not a complete novice:confused:

Is the Home Screen set in stone ? I got windows default but dont want it! I will use the Touch as TT7 Navigator.

If any body can help it will be appreciated.

Thanks Cobbs;)
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
ok, i am not 100% sure, whether i understood your issue, but my best guess is, that you want to use tomtom's today plugin, which does not work with titanium or manila.

in that case go to start-settings-personal-today-items and untick "windows default" or anything like "sense", "manila" or "touchflo 3d" and check everything else you want, including tomtom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrnatas19:
I am curious about the battery usage when calling with 3g/4g vs. the normal way. I noticed in my battery usage that calling took up a significant portion of my battery (I live in a not great signal area), and was wondering if using google voice instead would save me battery? I am going to try it anyway, but I was hoping to find out if anyone had any experience / advice
[Verizon Droid Charge] navycow:
I use google voice and it's no different. Just makes calls to a google number and routes it to who you are calling with your google voice number as the caller id. Still using the same stuff as regular calls.
[Verizon Droid Charge] daniel142005:
Google Voice isn't VoIP, even though it's commonly refereed too when VoIP is brought up. In fact, Google Voice would theoretically make it worse because it adds a bit of overhead before placing a traditional call.

This machine is hard at work .. aim? ... to smear android using google's power... By this I mean they post anything they come across that's deem negative by them without getting into details, all they need are the keywords "malware, virus, gapping hole " associated with android and boom, a story worthy of being posted online, papers and even the evening news ........ now because of the public's lack of knowledge when it comes to android, most of them just go with what was said ... here is an example of what I'm talking about ..happy reading ...

[Fascinate General] docstringer:
Headache after headache after headache since I got the Froyo OTA.

Lots of freezes causing me to pull the battery several times a day. Also the battery power drains so quick I can't even come up with a comparison. Then don't get me started the 3G going down all the time...this is f***ing ridiculous. I did root it but I have seen no change. I have even disabled the bloatware...anyone have any suggestions for me.

Much thanks in advance,

Doc
[Fascinate General] GoBruins:
You can try odining back to DL09 or whatever, re-update OTA, and see if the problem happens again...

If not, I would just leave it stock and return it to verizon with the 1 year warranty
[Fascinate General] marcelletta9:
Ive had the same issue! I rerooted and flashed evil fascination and I am not having hardly any problems. Ive had a few forcecloses but nothing like what came with stock froyo
[Fascinate General] Toad858:
My girlfriend is having the same issue after i MADE her update to the OTA 2.2. Text messages dont get sent and it is very laggy. The whole phone is too slow to use so i plan on flashing a custom rom or going back to 2.1 with odin. What roms are pretty similar to stock that maintain that whole touchwiz feel?
[Fascinate General] Hymizzle:
Did you perform a factory reset? That seemed to fix a few problems.
[Fascinate General] Dread This Day:
For starters, this is common. The stock Froyo update screwed a lot of people up. Next, simply rooting it doesn't *FIX* anything, all it does is give you the ability to run Apps as Administrator, giving you more power/control. So, you rooted it, that wasn't going to fix your issues. Flash a custom ROM. I personally recommend the Community ROM. If after flashing a different ROM, after wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache, and user data, etc. you still encounter the same issues, then yes, I'd exchange it.
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
Common? Really?

About the same time as the ota froyo was released, verizon had a bunch of 3g & 4g data issues on their network (perhaps it was shortly thereafter).

Otherwise, I see as many posts about the surprisingly good performance of the current stock rom as I see reports of issues.

No offence to the op, but we have no idea how these rooted phones have been messed with before the complaints are conveyed...

So I agree with the suggestion to odin back to a stock pit/modem/kernel/rom and let the ota process repeat from a clean start. From that result, flash a solid voodoo kernel, enable lag fix, pick your favorite rom, etc...
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
I am currently running the ota 2.2 froyo update...only thing I have done is root and debloat and the phone is very fast! Only issue I have is google voice search force closes.
[Fascinate General] 4GivenByChrist:
I think the update is fast... but despite what rom I use there is still intermittent gps issues, voice and data issues even on the first warranty replacement. Dropped calls in solids 4 bar territory on stock or dev roms and 3g fading un and out even after the dmu fix. All issues never had before the update.

Waiting on a call to see if I can get a better replacement option. No interest in Palm, BB or the Dinc Droid Pro or DX they want me to take as a replacement.

Out of the DInc2 Charge and TBolt which is the best options in my fellow forum friends minds. Have my own looking for outside opinions to consider depending on the options I am offered.
[Fascinate General] sccafun:
My GF is having OTA 2.2 pains also...signal issues may be due to network, but also noticed lag, camera issues (black screen and force closure when camera opened)...text not received...probably will root and flash custom ROM...if she lets me..LOL....
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Download the app "gps booster". Seem to fix my gps issue... locks in quick and within 10ft. As far as the signal issue, I had the same thing until I replaced the stock battery cover. have yet to drop any calls and my 3g is alot better now! I am absolutely impressed with this phone since doing these little "tweaks"! O and I vote droid charge if your dead set on a replacement! Seems to have better battery and display over the other two.
[Fascinate General] Toad858:
I heard that! My girl is hesitant to let me do anything to her phone after she saw the learning curve i went through with my captivate haha
[Fascinate General] Dread This Day:
I stated nothing about the the OP's 3G outtage, any of us who are techy-like at all or who pay attention know what that was about. I was referring to their other issues. And I agree, MANY people have great performance after updating to stock 2.2, while many others are also getting screwed up. It's just one of those things. The OP wasn't one of the lucky, so, either Odin back and try the update again, or go custom ROM.
[Fascinate General] 4GivenByChrist:
Well I have a couple DInc2s coming next week.

Really have to send the love to all the Devs who have made the Fascinate fascinating. Just can't wait on Sammy and VZW to get the tools in the hands of the devs to make the most of these phones.

Almost went TBolt but don't want to extend the contract until there are more 4g phones out there.

Wife is excited about FFC so happy wife will be good for me :-)

Would have preferred to stick with the Fascinate but a couple replacements later and even the great roms and kernels couldn't get it to where it should be. Here's hoping that good source drips for everyone soon.

So for free and no contract extension I'll check out HTC...
[Fascinate General] Arduinoid:
I did OTA Froyo update on a stock fascinate and my battery also began draining rapidly, about 8-10 hour life in standby I finally figured out that it was the built in facebook sync that was doing it, I had earlier turned off all syncing then noticed fb synced new events to my calendar after that so I completely removed my fb account and now its back to the ~2days of battery life with light use I had with 2.1. Not sure if this is what everyone else is experiencing with battery life problems but its worth a shot. I haven't tried putting my fb account back up to see if it happens again, I'm going to wait until I get around to rooting to do that.
[Fascinate General] xactnode:
I swear I had these issues with 3g data out completely. This fixed it in 3 minutes. ESN Swap to repartition data. No BS need for another phone.

http://totalhack.ws/esnswap.html

Hope this helps.:)
[Fascinate General] 4GivenByChrist:
Well... Been using the DInc2 for over a day now... Short time but very evident that there is a major issue post update on the Fascinate. Right back to the great download and upload speeds I had pre ed01. No ATT like dropped calls, etc.

Without voodoo quadrant scores on stock in the 1400 - 1600 range consistently.

Just a huge thanks to all our awesome Fascinate developersfor making it a great phone while I had it.

Hope the DInc2 developers are as committed and talented as this team. Right now they are working on getting perma root....
