Hopefully not, I know on mine it looks like theyve replaced the main board as I now have a new IMEI number, so taking into account there may be a chunk of folks who havent posted on here that have gone straight to SE for the fix there may be a few thousand??? but I may be over exadurating but this will account for the wait as im sure they dont have too many spare mainboards set asside for repair.

im back and so is my baby, been without her for 2 weeks and shees been unfaithful, she's had some other guys hands all over her and pressing her buttons, but its ok I can let that go because ive just missed her sooo much :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fig_jam_uk:
Rignt now to be serious, 1st look seems fine but then I nothice a slight hairline crack just above the light sensor, but ive been without for 2 weeks I can let that go, on the whole the repair seems ok.

On the test and repair sheet it states exchange and software update but nothing else other than the info I already had.

Ill keep an eye on her and see how it goes and post back if i come across any issues.

p.s. the was a FOC repair.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaisan76:
I disagree, SE already gave us a detailed warning of possible risks of unlocking the bootloader and even advised against doing so in their Unlocking guide post. Any "bricking" is purely down to user error and/or not carefully researching proceedures, SE PC Comp doesnt allow updating for Unlocked Bootloaders so why would think OTA would work without any problems?

Bottom line is, if youre going to do anything that risks bricking or voiding warranty's, do a little research into it first.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fig_jam_uk:
You are joking arent you? I take it you didnt brick yours with an upate that should not have been pushed to the phone in the 1st place, so what you cant update via SEUS, if it comes up as an OTA most people including myself will think "ohh it must work this way" there was no mention in the process of unlocking the bootloader about not accepting an update OTA, so before you get all preachy do your research 1st....

Besides if it had been user error why do you think mine was repaired for free? If it was user error then im pretty sure I would have been charged for the repair...

Mine was accepted as a warranty repair and they have given me an ETA of mid next week to have it returned.

What am I doing wrong. I put the correct email address, but still shown about 10 a bookmarks. I have about 100 bookmarks so how to import them all?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
You can use Chrome to phone to send links to your android device but I don't believed it will auto sync.

EDIT: NVM, I never knew it was an option to sync.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] czm:
I know it sounds like the usual catch-all solution, but have you tried rebooting? I went through the wizard in the browser settings to set up chrome sync and it still took a while to pick up on all the bookmarks.. I rebooted and there they were. Don't know if the reboot helped or if it would have happened anyway........
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
My bookmarks synced up pretty quick, without needing to restart.

Make sure you have sync turned on with your desktop Chrome browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
LOL, just now did the sync and it synced up pretty quick, no reboot needed.

I only have about 30 bookmarks but they all synced fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PatrikSelin:

Setting -> Account & sync -> Manage account -> select Google account.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
But the Chrome browser that has the bookmarks you want to sync with (I assume your desktop browser)... Did you got into Options, Personal Stuff, and setup the Sync there?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PatrikSelin:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GFX:
There's a free music player called "Nitrogen" that lets you skip the current song by shaking the device! It also has keyboard shortcuts so you can assign some function to your keyboard keys.

You can download it here: http://nitrogen.wmskins.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
There's a cab floating around that lets you use the "talk" button on a headset with mic to skip forward a song, I think two presses either goes back or does something else.

[Captivate General] nikatnight:
I have a stock captivate running 2.2 and I use a mac to work on my phones (I have an atrix too). I need to root this phone but everything on here only works for stock 2.1 not 2.2 and most of it is for windows not osx.

A little background, I used AirSideLoad to push Z4root to my phone but it did not root it. I downloaded the update.zip file and restarted the phone holding the volumes buttons to apply the update and that did not work. Lastly, I downloaded One Click Root and that too does not work. I put my phone in debugging mode, connect it to my computer then run One Click and it restarts my phone but when I select "reinstall packages" it fails.

Can someone help me here? Are there update versions of z4root (I used 1.3.0) or one click root (1.1.0) that would work on a stock captivate running 2.2?

please don't remove this post. I have read these forums and the other tips are either not for my phone or computer, or have NOT worked.

[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
I spoke to teir 2 tech support at verizon and I spoke to a higher level tech support at samsung and both told me (without prompting) that samsung has programmed into their kernel to not allow Advance task killers and many other task managers as the samsung rom has its own task manager. Both said this was the reason for random reboots when I told them I was experiencing them... lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
False. There is no way they can program a ROM now to prevent any and all task killers from working. As soon as one is updated, they could bypass whatever method was put in place to prevent it. Also, creating the ROM to reboot if a task killer is installed would be the dumbest way to keep people from using them.

What they likely meant was that the ROM/kernel is setup to prevent the need for a task killer as the system will manage it automatically. This is the same as every other android device out there as they all have built in memory/task management and it isn't something Samsung created on their own.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wardo5757:
the rep was trying to make you feel better. I bought my charge yesterday morning, it has random rebooted since i turned it on. i have never used a task manager of any sort

i work for verizon and i can tell you its false as well, but mine has been doing random reboots now since i got it and i have been tracking them and there seems to be no reason. i have so many log files and its never when i am doing the same actions on the phone eather.

Try formatting your sd card. Backup contents of course.

Only use conservative CPU scaling.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GuestK00231:
I just posted in another thread in the dev section, I will back up the statement of it being false with task killers, as I have never ran one.

I am just going on 24 hours with the phone, and it has rebooted at least a dozen times....sometimes twice in a row...as soon as it boots, then bam again..also in my pocket idle, and on the charger a few minutes ago...and i havent touched it since a few hours ago.

The SD card almost makes sense...I was having issues this mornign with copying files over...with the card mounted through windows...causing explorer to freeze up. Just a minute ago it froze up again copying files off...just so I can try the reformat.

I hope there is a resolution for this...as the way I ended up with this phone, I am stuck with it...unless I buy one full retail...
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Interesting stuff guys. Exactly what i was hoping to hear from you guys. I thought this sounded like bs... lol

On a cooler note.. my phone hasn't rebooted since i flashed stock ed1 rooted, flashed jt's voodoo and cwm recovery, and imnuts' kernel. Did all those things and the phone has not rebooted once. My recent reboot success must me due to flashing some solid kernels. Thanks guys
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
Mine hasn't rebooted yet (I've only had mine for 3 days, tho). I had stock ED2 for about 24 hours, and I now have VooDoo installed.

[Verizon Droid Charge] BirdOPrey5:
I've had the phone since May 16th and today was the first reboot I noticed. I don't think it was random though- It seems like a virus scanner I was updating froze- it was stuck on "installing" forever and finally it just rebooted.

[Verizon Droid Charge] sir2545:
Pay attention to it and see if it reboots when it is trying to scan the SD card. On my OG Droid I kept getting reboots and I noticed it did it while it was scanning the SD at boot. Turns out it was a bad file on the SD card so I'd try wiping it if it continues.

I have also noticed that if the battery gets critically low (say less than 10%) mine while reboot and hang at the boot animation. Doesn't bother me but has anyone else had this happen?

Hi Folks, This is my first post in this forum as I am a newbie. Anyway I just wanted to confirm the techs B.S.. My wife and I both got the charge on day one, She had two task killers and I had none.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aptom:
I liked MiniCM very much, but I can't find a way to increase battery life with that wonderful rom (I tried every trick I found), so I reverted back to stock and modded it a little bit to fit my needs.

I'm really missing two features of MiniCM, and I'd like to know if it could be possible to easily implement them on the stock rom:

1- in the lockscreen I'd like to switch to vibrate mode instead of silent mode

2- I'd like to have all those handy statusbar switches like the ones in MiniCM (to toggle wi-fi, airplane mode, torch, etc.)

Any suggestion?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fyudha:
1. u can use Widget Locker app

2. easy status bar, u can use widgetsoid

both of them is a paid app.. so i can't share them.. sorry.. :D but u can buy them through market..:)

Thank you, I found widgetsoid on the market and tried it: it's really nice, but I can't click on the widget if it's put on the status bar, like in MiniCM. Anyway, I've configured a nice home widget with it and I'm happy, althought I'd prefer to have a status bar clickable widget, like the one I used in MiniCM.

Widget Locker is too much for my needs: I just want to slide the "sound" slider (or whatever it's called) in the stock lock screen and switch between sound and vibration, instead of switching between sound and silence: is there a way to do it?
