[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dmcb123:
im on xperia x8 and when i try to use it it says i have no recovery installed even though i have cwm and xrecovery installed :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
which version of the app are u using?

also can u please post the logcat when the app starts and reboot happens?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dmcb123:
it read at first that the phone wasnt an xperia phone but then i chose x8 from the dropdown list but then it wouldnt work. then i reinstalled and left it as a non xperia phone and it works now :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
ya its a issue with some CWM recoveries (chargemon file actually)

glad u got it working :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Nifnodge:
Got it to work. Had to uninstall the free version. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] indycar:
may i ask why u need to be rooted if u want to reboot instead pwr off n pwr on
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
cause the commands called for those actions to be performed require superuser privileges else the commands cannnot be executed...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Taverius:
Kind of weird having to give a Ray as 'non xperia' ...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
woops... sorry... we will add compatiblity for the newly released devices...

but u can select the device as "Xperia Arc" and the app will still work :)

thanks for pointing that out
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Taverius:
No worries, thanks for the app!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vmcuong:
thank for nice app
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] parkerm35:
Hi guys, my phone is rooted and i have purchased the app. My boot loader is locked, and i'm trying to use this to overclock my phone with a custome kernal. Can someone please help me with what i need to do step by step. Sorry about this but i am a complete noob when it comes to phones.

Thanks in advance.

What´s the purpose of "Download mode" ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
some devices like SAMSUNG phones have this mode... its kind of a flashmode :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] inconn:
I wanted to buy the app but couldn't, tell me - why in the world is the app country locked?!?!

I'm from Croatia and I can't install it.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] thunder141:
will it some day work with xperia T ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
this app is no longer supported as we are now working independently...

and for Xperia T u need not worry... I will be creating an advance app to control all setting soon... keep watching...

anyways... time to close these threads...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
I changed my plan on my N1 to the unlimited web for 9.99 before the plan was expired. I love it. It's a savings of $240 a year, and also I think tethering was still not a criminal activity the way it is now (sarcasm).

I love my N1 but two things have really started to bother me about it, one is the battery life, and somehow I messed up my call speaker so now I have to always use the bluetooth when calling otherwise I can't hear anything (which isn't TOO much of a problem cuz I hate using the phone without the bluetooth anyway, but it's gonna be a problem if my bluetooth's battery runs out).

So I want to upgrade, but I really don't want to lose this plan.

Is anyone else in the same boat?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
buy a phone out of contract and swap the sim, youll be paying the unsubsidized but the advantage of the 9.99 plan is worth the extra 150-200 youll pay for the phone.

or hit up ebay/craigslist.

thats what i did when i bought my n1 for att, out of contract and same grandfathered web plan
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmanre:
u can get a HTC hd2 or nokia N8 and still take advantage of unlimited 3.5G :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoadRageCat:
I didn't want an N1 but it's the only Android device that I can use with the 9.99 web plan. (I'd kill for a pentaband Droid Pro) I don't like the way Nokia's stubbornness killed the momentum for advancing Symbian and above all else, Maemo/Meego but if battery and calling are of high importance an E7 or N8 would solve this and your tethering requirements.

I used an N900, E73 and E7 for quite a while and must say the E series / S60 devices made me realize how often good battery life gets taken for granted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
This doesn't work though. People who got the Nexus S were forced on to the 30 dollar android plan even if they bought the phone off contract and didn't let T-Mo know..T-Mo started blocking the phone unless you upgraded to the android plan..some people got it down to 20 with a little arguing, but that's it. Did anybody else find any other solutions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wellynz:
Hi there. I might be upgrading my Google N1 and buying myself a Samsung Galaxy s2. However I dont really see the point in it. Besides the Obvious Hardware differences, 5MP Camera - 8mp Camera, 1GHz Processor - 1.2GHz Processor etc etc I dont see the point in buying it. Im enjoy gaming, so I guess being able to play for graphics heavy games would be something the N1 couldnt do.

Im not into rooting/flashing or anything like that so all that doesnt bother me.

I guess im basically looking for some selling points, sell me the device :P

Btw, im not trolling, sorry if it comes out that way.

Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
I got my SGS2 because I renewed my contract, it's a nice phone, I even think Touchwiz is better than stock Android(though it's no match for Sense) but I wouldnt have bought it since I only bought my Desire less than one year ago.

The phone is fast, very fast and links are easier to hit but I miss my optical trackpad (I think the difference between the Desire and N1 is the optical trackpad vs trackball). I think my SLCD screen on the desire was better than the samoled+ but coming from amoled it will be a big upgrade in screen quality. Another fgood thing is that it's really light yet feels very sturdy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
ok what makes it soo special

well its like an iphone

when ur using a normal android phone even with a custom rom ie cm7 u notice these small lags when scrolling

ie scrolling lag when browsing the internet and the menu etc

its super fast (1080p flash with no lag while scrolling )

responsive

amazing screen

VERY thin

super lite

physical home button

VERY sturdy ( u cant bend it + doesn't make any creaking sounds)

all of this in one phone

AKA the perfect android phone

for me those small lags irritate the hell out of me

and the SG2 is the only android phone that doesn't have these to my knowledge
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
there is no lag on this phone-ever.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomz2k3:
Strange because my S2 lags just like any other phone.

Home screen scrolling stutter and random "reloading" of apps.

Worst browser checker boxing I have ever seen.

2-3 second lock screen lag.

4 hour battery life when browsing over wifi.

Sorry but it certainly does not seem to be the best phone out there, not that much better than my HTC Desire tbh.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You can completely balls up and brick the phone and still recover 99.9% of the time .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
I use go launcher I have seen no lags whatsoever (except when trying to answers calls on the lock screen on some older firmwares), I do see the checker boxing in the stock browser but none whatsoever in xscope or opera. And I have yet to see laptops last for 4 hours browsing on wifi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
If you don't like the colors, the issue is not the display, but the images on the screen. If you don't like the default, you can simply set the "Background effect" in the "Display" settings to "Movie" to sort of match an LCD screen.

By the looks of it, the Movie mode matches the sRGB color space (which is what JPEG images are made for), while the "Standard" mode matches the aRGB color space. A standard phone LCD screen (like that from, say, iPhone 4) doesn't even match the full sRGB color space, which makes images look washed out.

So if you want to see the display in all its splendor, you have to shoot some RAW photos, convert them to aRGB and see them on the phone's display. I can tell you that on mine they look mind boggling. Colors are similar to those from my hardware-calibrated professional display, but the black level (which changes the perception of colors) and the sharpness (due to the very small pixels) are to die for.

As for subpixels, I can't even see individual pixels...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
You misquoted DoPower didn't say that, I did. I have already set the display to movie and still the colors are not correct

I have 30/22.5 vision (ie retina) and -1.25/+1.00(<-yup weird :s) aberrations, my left eye (also my dominant one) sees the subpixels (I once had my vision tested and they ran out of cards to test, I could read them all :p)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomz2k3:
Well im just on stock UK orange firmware and performance is not what I expected from the hype, like I said in my post its pretty bad.

As for wifi browsing, my 18 month old compaq mini 311c netbook manages 5+ hours easy and my AWm11x even longer.

I am however getting confused a little, some people state the browser does get checker boarding and others state it should not and i should return my unit.

youtube.com/watch?v=yYIiRf88-g0 is a video I made of the browser problem.
[Defy General] nupi:
Sorry if this is slightly offtopic - I am spending 3 weeks in the US (East Coast) in July and I am wondering which prepaid card I should get for my European Defy to enjoy decent data without paying too much (ideally, it would let me pay for 1G package or so)
[Defy General] scrannel:
I think the real question is (and by "data" I presume you mean 3G not wifi) does your Euro Defy even have the correct frequency to receive USA 3G? Aren't the Euro Defys strictly 2100?

[General Questions and Answers] d-pabs:
Has anyone had their screen stop timing out? I've had my phone for 11 months, noticed this problem periodically but now my screen won't time out at all. My phone has been rooted for 6 months, never any big problem with the screen. About 3 weeks ago it stopped timing out completely. I have adjusted the settings from 2-1-.5 minutes, and it would work for the first while then it stops. I haven't installed anything on my phone that I can say triggered this. Resetting and taking the battery has no effect. I believe I have froyo on here.

... the standard Android lockscreen?

Coming from Stock Android 2.2 lockscreen on my Hero (was using FroydVillain) the SGS2 lockscreen is really a big annoyance and I'd like to replace it with stock Android lockscreen. Is that possible ? (the phone is rooted)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wellynz:
Im not entirely sure, but I think there is an app you can get from the Market place called Widget Locker. You can customise your own Lockscreen doing that. I guess you could make it look like Stock Android if you wanted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
I'm from the epic 4g forums we have a utility that's called odin that runs from the pc and you load files into it then it flashes what you loaded regardless of being rooted. The files are pit,tar and modem. The tar is the rom and the pit is the epic mapping. I'm wondering does the evo have this utility? I did some searching and I have not seen this for your phone and it might do me some good for a customer of mine cuz I will flash him back to a previous version to which I can root his phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerseydude1:
No we do not we have ruu .exe files that flash an entire Rom. But it is not like odin it won't let you downgrade
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
There are RUUs (rom updater utility, if I remember correctly), that will flash the OTA from a computer. You can also flash them as PC36IMG.zip through the bootloader.

However, in this situation it will not do you any good. If your customer accepted the OTA, the hboot cannot be downgraded, and you cannot run an older RUU. However, if they were previously rooted with unrevoked or had flashed unrevoked forever, they should remain s-off. Boot into the bootloader and check. If that's the case, you can simply flash a recovery image in PC36IMG form through the bootloader, and then flash the stock rooted rom, restore a nandroid backup, or flash another rom. If they're s-on, a root exploit hasn't been found yet and you'll just have to sit tight.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
This person just got the evo 2 weeks ago and had the latest software installed so no the security is not off. Wow really you can't downgrade I understand why but that sucks us epic users can downgrade the software and flash roms with odin that are pre rooted and ext 4. Isn't the ruu the recovery that runs on the phone? If so that's not what I'm looking for cuz the utility I'm looking for is like the utility that if you were to take your phone into sprint they could re flash your stock image with it if your phone was not booting or some other issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
The latest gingerbread update locked the bootloader, so if he has the latest update he is stuck with it for now. They will eventually find a work around for it. It hasn't always been like that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
The RUU isn't the recovery, it's what you're looking for. But it cannot be used to downgrade, it'll spit out an error.

not compatable with the samsung bluetooth stack, if you want to downgrade to bt2.1 it might work but i ont really know how to do that. better off waiting for cm7
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
What wiimote? The Nintendo wii remote? You are kidding right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
what's there to kid about. many phones can connect to the wii mote. search the market. there are a few app that accomplish syncing a wiimote to android. unfortunately the wii mote is not compatible with the Samsung bt3.0 stack. cm7 is bt2.1 and fixes that problem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] morganblackstone:
No joke...thanks for responding before doing a basic Google or market search...its working on my atrix but the infuse has a much better screen and HDMI mirror function

Ok sorry I didn't know you 2 are kids, because I can't see adult using this on a smartphone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
umm wii mote + hdmi+ smartphone + sega emulator = portable entertainment and a way to make friends envious. it is a common request actually and its great for travel and parties (my friends are geeks-hence me frequently visiting a cell phone forum) and it is great especially if you have kids or a nephew (I have 2 nephews)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
This sounds awesome. Any other non-conventional devices connect to the phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well the wii mote doesn't work on the infuse(works on most other androids) , but you can use a standard mouse and keyboard to game and navigate the ui. there are some game controlers that work but I can't remember which ones. search the sgs sections if you are interested.

Anyone know of a way to change the Bluetooth stack manually because I had it working on cm7 captivate........
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skillz9669:
CM7 uses "googles bluetooth stack which is why it works. This might point someone in the right direction as I have no idea on how to change it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
On all non AOSP kernels the "Bluez" Stack has to be cooked into it. It's tougher than..., well I don't want to mention it.... and easier done with CM which is based off of AOSP.

Same with Sense roms as well, which is why I had such a hard time bouncing between AOSP and sense roms when I had my N1.....

Plus with our HDMI output, wouldn't it be just as easy to use the onscreen buttons on the phone even though there will be an overlay on the main screen...?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kareeem:
Well I got it to connect to my Infuse (and Touchpad). All the keystrokes are detected. Only problem is that they don't translate in N64oid or Tiger Snes--as if they aren't working.

Anybody find a workaround?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] woodchuck:
Most emus with external controller support have the option to disable the controller overlay. Doesn't do you any good to not have the overlay without external input though, but I have tested this via HDMI output on the *-oid emus

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
Not Youtube, but from a browser. On the Vibrant, when you chose a video from a website it gave you the option to stream it to your video player, or you could hit web and it would download it and store it on the SD card. With the G2X it only gives me the option to stream it to video player. I tried different browsers, the same thing happens with Dolphin, Opera comes closest but says cannot download unsupported file type. I know MP4 is a supported file type. Anyone found a solution for this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newnoobkid:
I'm very interested myself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newnoobkid:
Been trying to find the answer? U^
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
Yeah, no luck. Tried different browsers, looked all through settings it just doesn't work. Probably going to have to replace whatever apk controls it. Maybe the browser.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newnoobkid:
This sucks but no phone is perfect. Wondering... I might just switch phones with android all that matters is how the phone looks. Roms come and go...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newnoobkid:
Opera mini on 3g would give me the option to download but then says I don't heave enough memory.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
Well you can download videos from the Youtube site just follow this guide ---> http://www.knowyourcell.com/lg/lg-g...ad_and_save_youtube_videos_on_the_lg_g2x.html

Or on Firefox mobile you can download the Video DownloadHelper add-on to download videos from any site.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newnoobkid:
No idea how to find that addon
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
video download helper is for the pc right? How does that help with the phone?

EDIT: So with firefox when you click on a flashplayer video it downloads it. Guess it's a start. Kind of sucks having to watch it on flashplayer on regular browser then go to firefox to download it but at least you can download.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] odiad:
Hi,

I have already successful installed xrecovery manually. But some days again I installed a xrecovery backup, and I had not considered that the backup-file were not okay (files size was quite small). So phone did work, but I was able to repair via Sony PC Companion - so starting position was fresh original Sony 2.1 firmware. And from then on xrecovery installation failled.

Maybe reason is new Build number ??

-> Model U20i / Firmware version 2.1 update 1, KernelVersion 2.6.29, Build-Number 2.1.1.C.0.0

I also update Titanium Backup - so new busybox may is the reason ? I tried several times to installed Xrecovery - all failled. Sometimes after a trial the phone rebooted 3 or 4 times, and then phone works correctly, but in all cases xrecovery will not run.

Has anybody an idea ?

Regards odiad
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] odiad:

Ok, i rooted last night with SuperOneClick (psneuter) and I installed ROM Manager and flashed the Vibrant Recovery.. But now I can't access CWM, i just go into stock recovery. any ideas as to why?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
Try reflashing it with rom manager, then when you to reboot into recovery you will likely have to select reinstall packages at least once when you boot into your regular recovery. Until you flash a custom rom this is likely the route that you will have to take each time you boot into CWM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
Odin back to stock 2.1, then root with eclair guide. Install the update package twice and the blue recovery should turn green.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juls317:
I did. it just reboots into stock recovery

EFIT:that's a reply to shreddintyres
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
Hmm odd what stock rom are you using? Ie ka5? Jk2? Etc. If you are running any stock froyo rom then as movieaddict said you will want to Odin back to 2.1 jfd which has 2e recovery instead of 3e, now I know there is a way to modify 3e recovery to make it work like 2e but iI'm not familiar with the process, search the vibrant development section and you should be able to find the mod there
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
if he rooted using superone click, it's good guess he's running 2.2. Also, if he can't get into CWM (except he hasn't stated it gives him a signature verification error yet), then he's also probably running a 2.2 build.

The easiest way is to use odin/heimdall.

there are 2 options in this path; odin back to 2.1 (jfd) then flash whatever rom you want from there, or odin a 2.2 voodoo kernel (which has cwm built in) and then flash whatever rom you want.
