[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aadrcw:
I just bought a used X10a today, Not my first android but my first rooted phone, (bought it rooted and unlocked. It is running 2.2.1) and there alot of issues and I just can't seem to find out what exactly I need to do so I can actually use this phone. First off it was originally a AT&T phone, I use Cincinnati Bell so the unlock is a must.

My first big issue is no matter what I am doing swiping through menus, screens, options you name it, it is laggy and jittery and half the time wont move just goes nuts for a few seconds.

The next issue is I can not for the life of me get 3g to work, edge works but no 3g. I used the exact apn settings as my other phone which is an unlocked tmobile and works fine but not on this one.

my last problem is I am missing tons of the factory installed apps, I do not mean the bloatware and irratating things that come on phones that arent needed, but things that I really need like a music app, the maps app, the email apps, all of that. All I have are the bare bones needed to run stuff, dialer, and messaging. That wouldnt be to big of a deal but nothing on the market will download it says download unsuccessful every time for any app, So i am not able to get all the things i am missing.

Also I do not know if it matters but I feel I need to mention it, The About Phone section on the phone says it is a x10i but the phone is actually an x10a so I do not know if that has anything to do with my problem but throwing it out there.

I really like this phone but I can't use it like this. What I need to do is either downgrade it to a rooted 2.1 so I have everything and it works or get a good 2.2 rom that will actually work. The problem is I have never rooted a phone so I do not know what steps to take let alone adjusting a phone that is already rooted.

So would it be possible for me to downgrade to a proven working 2.1 rom or is there a 2.2 rom for this phone that is proven to work and not cause all these issues I am having right now?

All help is greatly appreciated,

Cody
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasei:
Cody,

CBW uses TMO's 3G infrastruacture (1700+2100 frequency bands). X10a is equipped with a radio that works on AT&T's 3G bands (850+1900) but not TMO's. X10a does not work on TMO's (therefore CBW's) 3G. It's a hardware issue. For 2G you won't have any problem. Therefore the fastest data speed you can get with X10a on CBW is EDGE. On the other hand, X10i should work on CBW 3G.

I would say that what it says on the "About Phone" section probably doesn't matter. I tried a tons of custom and stock ROMs available here with a variety of radio firmware but I haven't experienced any difficulty with AT&T. Then again you are trying to use X10a on TMO.

This should help you with some of your other problems. Rooting and flashing a ROM on X10 is very very easy, thanks to all the developers here who contributed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aadrcw:
With my phone already being rooted and flashed would I still do it just as if it was all stock?

My only other question is would a generic 2.1 rom still leave the phone unlocked for use with any sim?

Thanks, Cody
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasei:
I'm not a tech but from what I understand and I did in the past, once SIM is unlocked, the phone will stay unlocked no matter what firmware you flash, including a generic 2.1 ROM.

Rooting and recovery are different. When you flash a stock SE 2.1 ROMs, you will lose root and recovery. That's where the flashtool comes in handy to get root and flash recovery again.

I will appreciate any help.

Hi xda well I'm looking at the sensation bout to jump over to it but I want the Samsung galaxy s2 but I was wondering I'm only a month away from my upgrade I've been with T-Mobile for 1 year and I have made every payment before its due. Any idea thanks.!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rillusion08:
I was under the impression that you had to be with tmobile for 2 years for an upgrade
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Yeah you don't get an upgrade until your 22 mo mark. I believe at 13 months you get a partial upgrade, where it's like 30% off of full retail value. You could always threaten to cancel, retention might offer you an early upgrade or a good deal on a phone. You won't be able to get the Sensation through tmo until the 15th though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumsforjs:
Wth really.??? Well that sucks I wanted to upgrade to something newer dual core. Oh well I guess I'm going to have threaten them haha lol. Unless I buy it on craigslist but oh well. Well 30 percent I might take as well. Thanks for your answers.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwindschz:
It sucks but really you knew what you were doing singing the contract and getting the discount on your current phone. Why try to screw them over you always know the second you buy a phone is out done a month later deal with it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumsforjs:
Well I bought the vibrant but then I had the g2, nexus one, back to g2 then somebody traded me there brand new glacier for my used g2. Well I guess I'm going to have to pt out of my pocket in that case ill wait till the sgs2 comes out. Seems to be befier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Well I wasn't due for an upgrade until last month, but they gave me an exception and thus a full upgrade when I bought the MT4G back in Nov. So if you call it's possible to get one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
Good luck on the early upgrade it could happen, as for my upgrade it's in august and i'm thinking if the mt4g slide don't have more then 1gb rom i will probaly just wait it out till either the hercules or Nexus 3 come out. I'm not hurting that bad anymore anyways, since i'm coming from a g1 upgrade, i got a sick deal for this current mt4g phone on craigslist that didnt require a 2 yr contract woot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumsforjs:
Yea might as well wait a lot of good phones are coming out. Mytouch slide I might not Get. Yea if no 1gig I'm buying something else. Ever since I got the mytouch 4g I've been running stock gingerbread I tried cm7 but I'm in love with faux aosp rom. Well till then lets see what happens. Thanks again guys for the response.
[Motorola Droid X2] hippopo:
I've searched everywhere and could not find an answer to a very simple question:

How to control frequency of synchronization for Mail/Calendar/Contacts for a Google account ??

For me, they never synchronize by themselves. They sync only by manual request.

Any help is greatly appreciated !

Google accounts are push.... normally instantly, are you not getting your info right away?

[Motorola Droid X2] hippopo:
Thank you all for the suggestions but nothing works so far.

When I receive a new email in my Gmail account, it does not sync to the phone automatically. When I go to Settings > Accounts > Google, I see "Sync Contacts/Gmail/Calendar" but the last sync time remains the time I sync'd them manually (currently - yesterday).

Settings > Battery > Battery Mode is Performance.

I'm really desperate, as I cannot use my phone for one of main things I wanted it for.

Please help!
[Motorola Droid X2] hippopo:
PROBLEM SOLVED !

This forum does not allow me to post URLs yet, so I'm copying the solution here:

Sync was apparently turned off via the Power Control widget! This is a really obtuse and unacceptable situation. The only way to turn this back on is to add the widget back to a screen and click on the round double arrow button so that its enabled. This is not at all obvious and I accidentally turned sync off and then removed the widget because I didn't know what the different buttons did (they aren't labeled). That is a bad widget design (obscure) and the fact that sync can not be re-enabled (or even detected that its been disabled) from the system configuration menus is not reasonable. If sync can be turned on & off it should show up under say the Data Manager as a check mark option, it should most definately not only show up as an unlabeled button on an optional widget.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mralexsays:
Has anyone actually gotten any of these Netflix apps to work on the IO 10.1 tab??? I tried all of them I could find, and tried all of the variations on the build.prop file I could find and it never worked. I read somewhere that the Netflix app just plain doesn't support Honeycomb yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] schwiz:
I called Netflix to complain that none of my 5 android devices are supported. Got to talking with the guy and he told me support for the new galaxy tab was in the works. Not sure if he was talking about the 10.1 or the already released tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
I was on a fence for either Asus TF or Samsung 10.1 but as for now there is no Netflix player available for HC based Android devices.

Strange, Xoom already on a market substantial amount of time... but Netflix is not anxious to support it. So, time will tell.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Final5k:
Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to bring the Default Phonepad/Dialpad to be used when writing messages/texting instead of the full qwerty keyboard? Or is there any application for this?

I mean something like this:
[Acer Iconia A500] John8472:
I know we are all waiting for 3.1 :) but I was wondering if Icecream sandwich will also run on the current honeycomb tablet when it comes out. I have been searching quite a bit on the internet and cant really find an answer to this question. But I bet some people here will know the answer ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
"Know" the answer, no. Nobody except Google "knows" the answer to that question. HOWEVER, ICS is the unification of tablet and phone versions of Android, designed to run on both platforms, so it's extremely likely it WILL run perfectly fine on the A500.

Assuming Acer release it for us, which they'd better.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
I DONT THINK SO,

so if u want that, just pray so bootloader being unlocked ... so dev can make ICS for iconia
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
Why do you say this?

FloatingFatMan is most likely correct with his assessment.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Well, the real question (until unlocked bootloader) isn't so much "can it run" as "will Acer push it out to the A500". The A500 appears to be, at its core, very similar to what we could call a reference Honeycomb design, so unless Google goes out of their way to make things difficult, ICS should be an easy upgrade from HC. It'll come down most likely to device drivers - A500 using a different audio chip, and not certain of whether the mSD card slot is controlled directly from the Tegra2 or another controller chip (if the latter, another driver.)

I'll admit I'll feel a bit better about Acer's commitment to the Android environment if the A501 gets released quickly, and of course even more better when they push 3.1 out, and ecstatic if they'll just unlock the bootloader and get rid of the worry factor entirely.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
its from my past with android device .. my htc desire,

till now official gingerbread not released for it, only the leaks and ports
[Acer Iconia A500] umanko:
1 gb ram, dual core 1ghz CPU wat else do u need to run Ice cream sandwitch. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
so based just of my retired htc evo then it will def be coming my evo had 2.1 ota 2.2 and now an offical ota for 2.3
[Acer Iconia A500] trevoryour:
I'm confused. I have a rooted a500 running Honeycomb 3.2 and I don't think i have a locked bootloader. The rooting process was super simple and i have no problem doing nandroid backups or installing new ROMs.

Am I missing something? Did later/earlier models come with a locked bootloader?
[Acer Iconia A500] drdaeman:
Probably, yes, it's just a matter of time. This is possible in two cases:

1. Google - as they promised - will publish full ICS source code, so we could build it.

2. Google will provide source code to some similar Tegra2 tablet vendor, and we'll rip their binaries and put them on our A500s.

The possibility of at least one of the case happening is quite high.

Bootloader is irrelevant. Even though it's encrypted and has some checks (defeated by itsmagic), it's not locked down to the extent we can't run custom kernels. And the only point of bootloader is to load a proper (i.e. from the correct partition) chunk of code in the memory and run it.

That is, unless Acer will release newer tablet revision with updated firmware (which disallows EUU/nvflash-based downgrades) and locked bootloader. But that'll be different hardware. I know my UID (thus, SBK) and no software upgrades could possible change this, so my tablet is safe.
[Acer Iconia A500] bazsh:
Im sure our device will support ICS

If not officially from Acer...it will be from our great developer here
[Acer Iconia A500] drdaeman:
Technically, it's "locked", but the protection was relatively lax and were defeated by sc2k's itsmagic.

OTA 3.2 upgrade introduced new bootloader, which has stronger protection, but, luckily, we can downgrade back using EUU service software (which is, technically, just an SBK calculator and nvflash).
[Acer Iconia A500] bobby38:
Google said they were about to publish the source code, "soon"... Let's wait :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Azga:
Source : Engaget

So, Theoretically HC could be upgrated in ICS

Wait and see :)
[Acer Iconia A500] jodiac:
May be this os is made natively for phone... besides who needs a full new os, a few feature from it will do me good like the swipe to close apps in background, i really like it
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
ICS is for both phones and tablets, but looking at its specs one gets the feeling that it just brings HC to the phones much more than improving the HC itself. I just wonder how the phones that are not intended for ICS would handle the UI. Sacrificing screen area for navigation while you have a perfectly good hardware buttons seems stupid.
[Acer Iconia A500] wutname1:
More than likely, Yes

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/20/asus-says-eee-pad-transformer-tablet-will-get-ics-upgrade-som/

as others have said if ACER does not the dev community will. I have a feeling they are already working on it at acer, my guess is that since google kept 3.0 so walled off they have clear upgrade paths for 3.0 to 4.0 set for all manufactures. 3.0 is the Redheaded stepchild of android versions it exists only because it was required so that we didint have tons of android 2.3 tablets, 4.0 is what 3.0 should of been
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
much like for Honeycomb now, if you dont like the buttons, with root you can use Honeybar to hide it. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
I know you can hide it, the question is if the OEMs will go that way with the older phones which will receive the update or not.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I am pretty sure the OEMs will be hiding the soft buttons and map them to the hardware buttons instead. It remains to be seen how they implement the context-sensitive soft-button, there's plenty of ways of implementing that and undoubtedly different OEMs will go different ways.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Go look at the leaked videos of ice running on the nexus s the only navigation button where the ones off screen

Hey guys...

Hey guys. I have an Iconia A500 running android 3.2 :p

I love the thing.. even more since Adobe released their touch-apps for my tab just a few days ago..

There's currently a very big fuss about this new android 4.0 but..

the development leap between android 3.2 and 4.0 is VERY small. there are some small bonuses like unlock using your face. But testers already noticed that when you show the webcam a picture of the owner the tab will unlock. And it's just bad for the batteries (having a webcam running every time the screen goes on).

Under the hood there isn't so much more to the system.

the real thing about this is that both phones and tablets will get a universal system again. nothing more nothing less. In the wild race to get android 4.0 we should be targeting phones. because the leap from 2.3 to 4.0 is huge and totally worth it!
