[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac100:
For me the ARC is a definite no go. If your upgrading on a 2 year contract, then I would say loud and clear "stay as far away from the ARC as you can". In my opinion the arc has the same shelf life as the x10. However, if you have been happy in the main with the x10, then you can go for the beautiful design of the arc over the competency and performance of the other phones (SGS2, Optimus 3d and Sensation).

Personally, I now have a very different view of smartphones to that which I had last year. Then I had the view that they were just cleverer phones but now I know that they are more like mini computers. I wouldn't buy a single core computer for the same price as a dual cored machine because it looked prettier. The same,for me anyways, now applies to smartphones.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
exactly...

buying an arc now or soon at the price it is would be cheating yourself in some way imo.

Sure it looks nice, but imagine in 6 months time how dated it will be.

Do yourself a favour and either wait till SE releases something current, or buy something current
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donjamal:
no way to get one more SE phone. done with them, i'm heading for SGS2 or LG Optimus 3D in the 2nd half of the year.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
SE burned their bridges with me on the x10.

I was always a big SE fan and had nothing but good things to say about them.

But the x10 ruined it for me, so i will have to swap brands for a company that cares about it customers.

If SE had made effort with the X10, i would have bought a newer SE phone but they dropped us in the water.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meraklis56:
there is no change in hell i give another 400 Euros for 16m colors,bravia engine and unlocked bootloader, even if i was rich.

If i wanted to buy a new phone i d buy samsung galaxy s2.

[Defy General] mesterke:
you need to uninstall bootmenu or set the default boot to normal

to do these press volume down when your phone boots and blue notification light blinks
[Defy General] gommers1978:
Have you allso tried:

To get RSDLIte to recognize your phone you have to enter boot loader mode. this means press VOL-UP + POWER If nothing helps, try pushing VOL UP before!' you put the battery in.

* wifi not working

* bluetooth not working

* no calendar / timer / stopwatch like stock rom

why ?

tested and running on e15i
[XPERIA X8 General] Mr. Hat:
Wifi and calendar work fine for me, I haven't tried BT, but it should work fine as well. As for the timer/stopwatch you can always download one if you need it, DX probably doesn't use it, so he didn't include it in the FB to make this ROM lighter
[XPERIA X8 General] orangzeb:
sorry my bad wifi works....bluetooth works but at very ver slow rate...

p.s usb connection also takes time to connect, should I switch back to 2.1 stock rom ?
[XPERIA X8 General] mhyke13ph:
Wifi is Working Fine to me since v005.

Bluetooth is great been using it with my Liveview, 0-2 disconnections for 8hrs

even on my MW600 everything except for the hiccups that occurs at rare times while playing music or watching video's

FroyoBread comes light, so if you need some apps like timer/stopwatch you can download that in market lots of apps there for you and free.

try you hard reset device by Hold the two soft buttons ( marked as horizontal bars on the top row of the keyboard ) and press the reset button with the stylus tip. The phone will restart and ask if you want to continue with the reset, follow the onscreen instructions to complete the hard reset
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
I'm using the Android Developers Tab Layout tutorial to develop something/learn how to use layouts: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html

I can get the tutorial working fine but I'm trying to extend the function of the interface.

I have 3 tabs - Main, Sub1 and Sub2.

Main just has info on it, it's an "about" section if you like.

But Sub1 and Sub2 are top tier subsections and I want to have buttons in them that take you to the content. The hierarchy is this:

Main

- Content "about"

Sub1

- Content A

- Content B

Sub1

- Content A

- Content B

This is what it looks like at present (placeholder icons atm):

The main.xml has TabHost as it's parent layout although the Main, Sub1 and Sub2 sections are ScrollViews. This is in line with the Android Dev tutorial.

Now if I create a content_a.xml does this still need to be in a TabHost? What I'd like is 2 types of content - Content A will just be text and Content B will be technical image that you can zoom and pan around, and I'd like the 3 main tabs to remain at the top.

I'd also like the option of leaving the tab layout altogether if the user presses a content button.

I get an error in Eclipse that reads: 07-21 11:23:42.278: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(19259): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.mine.app/com.mine.app.Content_a}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a TabHost whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.tabhost'

I don't see why I have to stick to using a TabHost anyway, but does anyone have any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
Seriously? No one knows how to do this?

I can't find the answer anywhere on the net and it cannot be possible that you have to only have content in the original tabs.

Come on people, someone must know.
[Android Software Development] janfsd:
I personally haven't played with tabs. I recommend you asking the same question over at stackoverflow if you don't get an answer here.
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
soo im a bit confused by your question. are those buttons in the image just place holders that you want to replace with other content? or do you want them to link to a another activity that will display either content A or content B. both are do-able.

if its the latter, just replace the xml for the buttons with whatever content you want them to be. TextView and ImageView.

if its the former, then make 2 new Activities (ContentA and ContentB) they will setContentView to what ever Layouts you want them to display. then tie the onClickListener to each button in your TabHost Activity to call startActivity()

Intent myIntent = new Intent(TabHostActivity.this, ContentA.class);
startActivity(myIntent);

then when you press the back button it should jump you back into your TabHost Activity

----

also, when do you get that error. what are you doing when it happens? just telling us what the error is is only half the story
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
I'll explain things a bit better.

I want this layout

Main

- Content "about"

Sub1

- Button to Content A

-- Content A

- Button to Content B

-- Content B

Sub2

- Button to Content C

-- Content C

- Button to Content D

-- Content D

The tabs switch between Main, Sub 1 and Sub 2.

Sub 1 and 2 are top-tier menus. Let's call it Cars and Motorbikes.

In the Cars tab I want a list of cars on buttons. Pressing a button takes you to info about that particular car, let's say a Mazda6 (as an example).

Ideally I'd like the tabs to remain at the top of the screen with the info about the Mazda6 below them. If you press the "back" button it takes you back to the list of cars, if you press a tab you can jump straight to that section (Main or Motorbikes for example)

If you've selected Mazda6 and exited that section by pressing a tab, pressing the Car tab should take you back to the Mazda6 content bypassing the button list.

Some of the Mazda6 content will have a pinch to zoom image.

I hope that's clearer.

The error I'm getting is when I press the Content buttons (the Mazda6 button for example). The way I've set it up is when you press a button it (attempts) to start a new activity:

public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.mazda6_button:
Intent b = new Intent(this, Mazda6.class);
startActivity(b);
break;
case R.id.mazda3_button:
Intent c = new Intent(this, Mazda3.class);
startActivity(c);
break;
}

This code works fine if I just have a list of buttons that switch between FrameLayout xml files, but I get an error only when using Tabs :(
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
Any feedback?
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
are your new activities declared in the AndroidManifest.xml?

<activity android:name=".Mazda6"></activity>
<activity android:name=".Mazda3"></activity>
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
And if it isn't this, what's the Error you're getting?
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
My manifest file is fine. I learned not to make that error pretty quick.

This is the error.

ERROR/AndroidRuntime(19259): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.mine.app/com.mine.app.Content_a}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a TabHost whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.tabhost'
[Android Software Development] D4rKn3sSyS:
This sometimes happens by bad generated R.java

Try deleting it. Happened to me like 1000 times with no errors on Code. if it isnt this, post your whole class / xml layout
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Always a good fallback position to delete and rebuild R.java

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
in the tabhost documentation there is a reference to setup() that needs to be called before any tabs are added to the tabhost when not using getTabHost()

you might want to try replacing getTabHost()

with

mTabHost = (TabHost)findViewById(R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.setup();
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
I don't understand that. What exactly do I replace and what consequences does it have for the rest of my code?

I've tried replacing

TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();

with

mTabHost = (TabHost)findViewById(R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.setup();

but that just produced a whole load of other errors.
[Android Software Development] iynfynity:
how do you rebuild it? this is the most annoying thing when developing android.
[Android Software Development] iynfynity:
To the OP.

What do you want to do when you click the button? Do you want to display a new screen then the text? or you want the same screen and a text will just pop out?
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
I want the new content to be displayed, but maintain the top tabs.

I can get it so that new content its displayed by linking the buttons to a new activity.

It's getting it to work with the tabs that is the problem.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
What's the code for the button click?

As an alternative to the way you are doing it, you could setup different layouts and call to setContentView() again.

Basically the activity inside the tab could function as a "dynamic" holder of other content/layouts. Rather than changing activities with each button click.

It has different pros and cons but it's an option.

hth
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
I'll post the code later then.

I'd be open to altering the content in the current view for sure. I do want the buttons to link to pinch to zoom images though. Don't know if this wii be easy. I have out working without the tabs remaining.

[Galaxy S II General] humphrey74:
Hi guys.

After my first flash (with success) I had root and all was all right.

But now, I wanted to try litening ROM 2.0, I have to see, that I am not able to flash my device anymore. I tried with odin with 1- and 3-part firmwares,.. only Kernel,..tried with Heimdall, made factory resets thousand times.... after EVERY reboot my SGS2 is in the SAME state since before.

It is a state like I made a special recovery. Installed Apps (after first flash) were gone after every reboot. Token images, ... left....

What can I do now? There has to be a solution I hope ...!? :(
[Galaxy S II General] keke7442:
Hi,

what do u have on Odin display?

because, if you don't kill ALL Kies processes, it's impossible for Odin to connect to your device. (it was the case for me)

Try to kill it with your Windows task manager.

good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] humphrey74:
I forgot to say that here in detail :)

Odin said PASS (in green) and before klicking start, the correct connection was signed with the yellow COM field.

There is no KIES problem, I killed all KIES processes in TaskManager before.

I discussed this in a lot of forms and nobody could help me yet.

There must be something in my configuration, that makes my SGS2 load a special recovery. (have NO titanium backup installed!!)

..hm ...
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Does it boot? and which kernel/recovery do you have installed? which software were you running before you tried to flash to litening?
[Galaxy S II General] djmaz:
I had this problem going from villian to litening. I had to install official genertic samsung firmware to sort it out. After I did that I have had no problems with flashing roms.
[Galaxy S II General] humphrey74:
Yes, it boots. But always into one same state.

I flashed it with XWKDD_insecure.tar (without repart and without PIT file) and then rooted it with "SuperOneKlick".

My Phoneinfo says:

Kernel_version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 root@DELL103#2

Buildnr: GINGERBREAD.XWKE2

After it, cause I was very happy to have a rooted device, I installed AndroidWall, AdFree, AutoKillerMemory, NoLED and AutorunManager

that´s all I did. additionaly I tried to set up the UAString for the stock browser with commands like about:debug, about:config and about:useragent.

That´s all I can remember.

It looks like on the phone there is something, that ignores all flashed data on booting and loads a backup-state. whereever that could be loaded from .... .
[Galaxy S II General] ark_daemon:
I had the same issue, but solved after flashing the GT-I9100_KE7_insecure.tar.md5 kernel.

You need to flash a full firmware not a kernel .

[Galaxy S II General] humphrey74:
OK, I downloaded the full KF3 ROM and flashed it with Odin.

Finished with PASS.

No change anfter reboot.

Im not a developer, just a simple user, if were u, these r the tricks that I will play

1- change the usb port

2- restart the computer

3- change the computer

4- uninstall kies and install the independant drivers

5- finally, if all failed, ill wait from kies to do the system update for me, this will give u a fresh start over

hope this would help

Hi!

I just came over this post and Ive read a few pages but don't have time to read every post as I have to go now, so maybe others have asked the same question...

Does your "Custom Binary Downloads" counter increase after each ROM flash? You can check it on the download mode (volume down + home + power, then volume up)

I noticed it when I was flashing Lite'ning 5.0 the other day. Presumably it does what it's called :p
[Galaxy S II General] FireWalkerX:
Ok, after reading through all 20 pages, i do have one suggestion that you could try, before returning it to samsung.

do the following:

adb remount

adb push zImage of a kernel on your computer including path" /sdcard/zImage

adb shell

now your on the phone, do the following to zero the old zImage

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=8192

now we are writing a new zImage to the phone

dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

when its done

exit

reboot phone and check if you now have a new kernel... (use a rom kernel, not recovery kernel)

(and also please time how long time it takes to start your phone, i do have a couple of ideas)

[Galaxy S II General] humphrey74:
Hey guys.

I wrote here that I decided to give my phone back to samsung and let repair it.

But I waited since now, because of being lazy and bacause my phone worked in a way saying it is "okay". Knowing that all new installed apps will disappear and new phonebook-entries will be gone after a reboot, nevertheless I was able to use it for a while. I backed up my phonebook-entries on google-account.

But meanwhile my phone stucks and hangs because of missing several software-updates. It crashes more and more and I have to reboot it now very often.

So I will send it to my providers repair-service and hope not to get rejected because of this problem being self-made by rooting it.

I will read the last posts here, that i have not read yet... If there is a solution, I certainly will report. But i guess there will be not.
