[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] panflute:
I am not sure what CWM is but i will find it and do this mod to my 1.83 Atrix. Besides the AT&T logo, the other thing I really hate is the white status bar background. All of the roms I see that change it to black have some issues so they are not for me since I have learned to be cautious over the years. I would like the AT&T logo removed and change to a black status bar background, and have NO issues to deal with, now or for future upgrades (I am rooted). Willing to pay someone to get these features if it's possible. Other than these issues I love my Atrix and think it will be fine for quite a while considering 2.3 and unlocked bootloader is coming. Oh yes my other wish is that Skype will enable video chat and Motorola will release their music player that will enable the FM radio tuner.

[General Questions and Answers] shagosun:
I have been having difficulties connecting to my work exchange server over the past 3-4 weeks, and it is now highly disrupted. My mobile is an HTC-HD2... I have tried 2 different Android builds (NDT and MIUI) as well as WinMo ROM (Energy ROM), but the results appear to the be same. Either "Unable to connect to the server", or "Error Synchronizing". A couple of things happened on my work side... one our exchange server appears to have been upgraded to Exchange2010 recently (not sure exactly when), and my pc was upgraded to Win7 (from XP-Pro) about 2 weeks ago. I don't know if either one of this has anything to do with my problems. I have been reading across the forums, and trying various things (to the extent I know/can), but have been unsuccessful. Like many, I depend on my mobile for email/calendar communications a lot, so this has been a real issue for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

p.s.: I am based in China, but my problem seems to exist even when I am traveling abroad.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I know that it's on the Flyer, but I remember seeing the CEO of OnLive giving a demo of it on the EVO and it looked pretty nice. Does anyone know if it will actually make its way to HTC phones? It's definitely a nice and unique feature.

[Nexus S General] markhirt:
According to Gismodo the OS toggles 4G

"Plusses

Unlike other 4G Android phones, the Nexus S 4G has a nifty trick up its sleeve: When you're not actively using WiMax, the radio idles, conserving your battery life. When you call upon it to deliver super-speedy 4G internet, it kicks back on in a matter of seconds."
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
That's good to know I got extended controllers for my evo and it worked but it doesn't for the nexus email developer already waiting for it a response
[Nexus S General] waltah!:
I've noticed this and it's pretty cool. As soon as you need the data it lights up immediately. Pretty nifty trick indeed.
[Nexus S General] kalico17:
The epic has had this feature since launch tho
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Cause it had touchwhiz and same for the evo it has sense, google didnt make android with 4g in mind maybe we get it next update to ice cream since 4g phones are comi mg. out left ans' right.now
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
The toggles were all made for the Evo, that's why they don't work. But, as said here, 4G isn't on unless you're using a data connection.
[Nexus S General] jdh10475:
This makes a big difference but I can still notice a greater drop in battery life than 3g only.

Here is a temp fix, scroll down to where the creator mentions minimalistic text app. You can create a 4G icon and it will take you straight to the settings. Works good

[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Is there anyway you can post it here? I don't want to subscribe to another forum to download something, thanks!
[Nexus S General] vansmack:
It's not a forum specific download.

The poster (supercluver) downloaded Minimailstic Text Widget:

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext

And created a link from there that takes him to the 4G settings to save a few steps in turning 4G on and off. It's the best I've seen until Samsung releases the API for the 4G settings.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Oh I see thanks tho :D
[Nexus S General] tigereyeslalo:
Launcher Pro has a really cool feature that lets you add custom shortcuts on your dock bar menu. Works perfect for 4G. Just create a custom shortcut that takes you directly to the 4G on/off screen inside your settings menu. Very easy.
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
Another nice thing about launcher pro free is it unlocks the activities options when you longress the home screen and select shortcuts. In there you will find 4g settings and doing it this way you can have the same shortcut on another launcher if you wish. As long as launcher pro is installed you have access to these activities for shortcuts even if you use another launcher ;)

[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Here's something quick and easy for now - a widget that will work with any launcher. I'll have to poke around and see if it can actually be changed via the system settings or this is something that's locked down to Google signed packages (like GPS). Everything I have found so far relies on vendor libraries (Samsung / HTC) to programmatically toggle 4G.

[Intercept General] belezeebub:
I have switched jobs and ended up with a VM Samsung Intercept I am growing to like it but I hate the bloatware other then rooting it is there anyway to uninstall the junk I will never use and keep the other junk from running at start up every single time?

At a fresh boot I have 52 Megs after running advanced task killer and stopping the bloatware I have 62

Amazon MP3 Never used it never will use it it runs at start up every single time I reboot the phone and I have to go in and kill it (Makes me want to never use Amazon again)

MAPS I have turned off all location bases services but everytime I reboot the phone that dang maps loads again (I Hate it)

Market I use it to download apps and games but I don't need it running every single time I reboot

Voice Dailer never use it doubt I ever will

SSA (not sure what it is)
[Intercept General] MasterDr4v3n:
Hello,

I have the same problems as you do. Download an app called startup cleaner from the marketplace. There you can have it kill the apps you don't want at startup. It's the closest way to getting rid of them without rooting your phone.
[Intercept General] earmuffs:
Everyone asks this, it's not unique to one phone

These are system apps and are in a system directory that is write and delete protected. Think of root as admin on a computer it grants you special privileges like write and delete.

You lack the permissions necessary without root. As for the answer to you question I think you knew it when you posted and after this should most defiantly know the correct answer is often the most obvious.

When I was new to android I was worried too, but don't worry. Just find a "stock rom" and if you need to ever send the device in you will be able to flash the stock images on to the built in flash memory. It's like any writable memory you can always write over it with original information if you have source for the original info.
[Intercept General] breannak:
Hi I don't have a Samsung Intercept but I know that any

rooted

phone can remove bloatware using the app, Titanium Backup. You

need

to be rooted in order for app to work, and it is free.

[Intercept General] b_randon14:
Yeah you have to root your phone before you can remove system apps. I suggest anyone root there phone, you can make it like 100 times better. Go over to sdx-developers.com and look around in the intercept section for how to root your phone!
[Intercept General] entropy.of.avarice:
Very simple

Rooting this phone is quite simple - using only help and posts from xda I was able to root my intercept, remove the annoying bloatware (which really makes the system run great) and use my phone as a full infrastructure mode Wi-Fi hotspot for my android tablet.

Don't waste your time with startup cleaners and task killers - just head over to the dev section and read the guide and root your phone - then install Titanium Backup from the market - you can use it to remove factory installed apps but still keep a backup of them - you will need to restore them if VM ever pushes out another OTA update (which I doubt; I don't see us getting gingerbread on this device)

PM me if you need help rooting your Intercept. You need a data sync cable, a windows PC, and a little bit of time to get it going.

[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
I've used this methode alot on my X10 and i just tried it on the Arc and it still works great! To do this you'll need root and root explorer(or an other methode to change your build.prop) and a locked bootloader otherwise seus & pc companion wont work

I'm not responsible if you break your phone!

How to:

- Look up the customization number of the firmware you want to change to in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082368

- Open root explorer and go to \system and open the build.prop file in the text editor

- Change the following three lines:

ro.product.name=LT15i_XXXX-XXXX

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/LT15i_XXXX-XXXX/

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

Change the XXXX-XXXX into the customization number of your desired firmware

- Press the menu button and save & exit

- Reboot

- If you are using pc companion on you computer go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\

And delete the blob_fs folder

If you re using SEUS on you computer go to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\

And delete the blob_fs folder

- Shut down your phone

- Use SEUS for update or use the repair function in pc companion

- Reboot and enjoy your new firmware
[Xperia Arc General] retain81:
Worked for me :) Changed SI from UK generic to UK O2 and after reboot, PC Companion picked up the 2.3.3 update straight away :)

The irony of course is that it's actually an O2 phone anyway which I'd debranded after I'd bought it by flashing UK generic firmware! Thankfully the O2 firmware actually seems to have less crap than the generic one...
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
An easy way to debrand it for me was to reinstall the software using SEUS. It wiped out all the Orange stuff that was on mine.

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
the branding of the arc is a strange thing, i also had less bloatware on branded firmware

That's weird when reflashing without changing SI numbers it should reinstall the original branded firmware
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
Can you upload the generic UK firmware please?

Thanks

I am after the 3.0.1.A.0.145 update of the Generic UK firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
That isn't released yet
[Xperia Arc General] animboo:
noobish question..if i changed my SI into that of the UK O2 or the Uk generic, will it be locked to the O2/UK, can i still use the same sim card im using in my country? Any difference in the global firmware, i really want the global firmware but cant wait for the update..and if i changed it into the O2, can i update it using SEUS to get the .145 rom?
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
No it wont lock, i'm on t-mobile from the netherlands and i'm using the uk o2 rom atm. And yes you can use seus or pc companion to update
[Xperia Arc General] animboo:
thank you so much for the quick reply..any changes to other roms, i mean is the O2 rom any different from the global rom or is there any annoying bloatware? Also can you hook me up with the SI number for the UK O2 or better yet, the generic UK SI number?
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
cant find any major difference between o2 and generic.

edit: uk generic is released!
[Xperia Arc General] animboo:
you mean the uk generic rom for the 2.3.3 is already released? so i can used that instead of the O2 branded, is that right?
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
yes it's released, you can use this si number 1247-1073
[Xperia Arc General] animboo:
thank you so much you have been so helpful, gave you 2 thanks for all the help you've given me..trying it right now..
[Xperia Arc General] Rhesonance:
Would changing my number to somewhere where the 2.3.3 update is available already allow me to get it?

Also, does doing this erase your phone?

EDIT: Never mind the first question, didn't read through the posts in this topic.
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
no the 2.3.3 update will not erase user data
[Xperia Arc General] wingy1:
Hi can anyone help a confused noob!

My Xperia Arc started life as the UK t-mobile branded one.

I used the helpful guides here to debrand it to the global .181 one.

However I keep trying to check from time to time for updated software to 2.3.3 and it says I have the latest one.

I can see a UK generic firmware released.

Now if I re-flash to that one - can I then update to 2.3.3?

I thought the purpose was that if I debranded to global .181 one - being global it would get the update more or less faster then other firmwares?

Sorry for the noobish questions - any help would really be appreciated!

Thanks :D
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
Just change your customization number into the uk generic number, follow the guide and it will update to the latest uk generic update(2.3.3)
[Xperia Arc General] wingy1:
Hi thanks for that but you say I need "root and root explorer" - sorry where do I get these from? I presume my bootlocker is locked by default as I have not touched that part of the phone but do I need to root my phone as well? I haven't done that yet.

[XPERIA X10 General] Joren90:
Hello all,

My X10 has a few strange problems regarding freezes and reboots, and also problems with USB connections.

When my I applie pressure to my phone, it reboots. This also happens when I slightly bend my phone. It's a strange problem and I think (almost know for sure;)) it's hardware related because it happens in two custom roms (freexperia beta 4 by Zdzihu, and Achotjan_Froyo_2.2.1) and also in xrecovery.

The other problem I have has to do with my USB connection.

When i connect my phone to my pc. there is no notification and it doesn't connect to my PC. in contrast to other x10's that have USB connection problems (I've searched other threads) charging is still completely normal.

That's why I think the USB connection is software related

I was wondering if somebody has something usefull to say about either one of the issues, thats why I'm posting.

So if anyone has any idea feel free to post :D
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:

[XPERIA X10 General] kxhawkins:

[XPERIA X10 General] Joren90:
I'm not really bending my phone but "trying to bend it"or pressure lets it reboot. this would indeed be not really much of a problem, just don't bend or apply pressure. The problem however is that when I put it in my pocket, the same kind of forces (bending, pressure) will work on it and it'll reboot. this is pretty annoying because each time you'll get your phone out of your pocket it's rebooted or it still hangs.

Well yes it has, a car drove over it once but that's was more then a year ago, and it's fallen quite hard sometimes. I've opened it up however, and nothing is visible wrong (loose connections etc.)
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Seriously???

A car drove over it and it has fallen quite hard sometimes?!

That makes the title of your thread misleading.

You should have mentioned these in the OP.

It's a miracle the phone works!!!

Of course something might be messed up inside

and probably not in a visible to the naked eye way.

If you want to hold on to the phone, maybe buy a hard case,

that will keep the pressure to minimum while in your pocket! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Probably a loose capacitor or resistor...
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr_Element:
I'll agree with My_Immortal on that one. A hard case might help you in you situtation. But mate let me say this. From the injuries that your x10 has been through it's a miracle it still works!

Imho you should take better care of your stuff , it's a smartphone for God's shake not a buldozer! :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Words cannot describe how special you are.

Were you holding the phone when the car went over?
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
LMAOOOOOO, funniest thread ever ;D
[XPERIA X10 General] Joren90:
Well yes indeed I could've said this.

But why I haven't is because it happened more than a year before these problems started. the bending, pressure problem started quite suddenly out of nowhere, and thus might not be related

(I also think the car didn't do that much damage, my phone lay flat on the road, and the car drove pretty fast (around 50 kph) so the car was actually on the phone for a very short time: less than 9 micro seconds ;).)

I've started this thread mainly because I thought maybe someone had heard about these kind of problems before and knew something about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I understand that the car incident was a year ago,

but in my opinion, it's very hard NOT to relate it with your issues.

Of course, there is always the possibility that it has nothing to do with them,

Have you tried using a hard case?
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
should open it and test across the components to see where the drop in voltage occurs, probably a simple resoldering would do the trick!!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yeah.. it may just be a simple loose component.

Only solder if.

1. You know what your doing.

2. You have steady hands.

3. you have the right soldering iron "i use a 25W to 80W fine tip"
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:

0. You are sober.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, from my limited research, read phone state and identity permission is related to one of three things:

1. Android 1.5 compatibility.

2. Registration check.

3. App needs to be shoved into the background when a call comes in.

The Amazon Appstore reads the phone number whenever you open it. This is because the Appstore needs to know what phone to sideload the.app to. It's currently the only app I have that does this. All my other.apps are free since I don't have spare cash to spend on the Market. So far none of those apps have triggered this permission.
