I mean unlocking because I heard that some people said that one need to unlock his/her phone before he/she can flash firmware of other region's. Base on your first answer, do you mean that flashing firmware and custom rom do not need root? Because I think I need to root before Flashing custom rom.( Anyway I have already rooted my phone.)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

You not need to ROOT, if you FLASH new FIRMWARE with ODIN(ROOT after FLASHING, because you LOSE you ROOT, if you FLASHING). And custom ROM-s not need to ROOT, they all ROOTED for now!

cheers! :cool:

I have an 2010 Audi A4 with the Mini cord for the dock and i have an ipod and it works but id like to hook up the thunderbolt for it to be able to play my music and such. Any idea what software i need so the car can identify my phone?
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
If your Audi has Bluetooth audio you can play it that way - I play the TBolt Google Music app through my Pioneer Avic that way.
[Thunderbolt General] RunNgun42:
Well the iPod feature is custom, specifically designed to support ipod's through a license agreement with apple. However a lot of cars have standard USB docks, and the car stereo can recognize it as a standard storage device and just pull mp3's from it. You lack a lot of the fancy ipod integration for playlists and artist selection and stuff, but it will still play the files. However if your car has the proprietary ipod connector in it then you are out of luck.

[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
No doubt you're running 3.1 on your A500 :) As said, A501 will skip 3.1 and go straight to 3.2 in Q3/Q4. I read it here in the XDA A500 forums.

I also assume that 3.2 will come for both A500 and A501 at about the same time, but that's just my speculation.

And function for your apps to read external SD card. Ie: music, photos, movies, etc.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Most if not all downloaded apps already read from the external sd card perfectly fine. Many video and music players allow you to select your source file or source folder.

For example, in my case...doubletwist, mixzing, moboplayer etc. all play and find stuff on the external SD.

What 3.2 does is allow ALL apps to read from the external sd card as it will do a system sync of the SD card, which older versions of Android do already. The problem apps are actually the ones supplied with Honeycomb, ironically, which do not allow the user to select a source and automatically check ONLY the internal storage. So, to summarize, this check will now be run on both the internal AND external storage so you can see any and all media attached to the tablet.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
I'm not surewhat to do about fixing this, I know it's a baseband issue, but the fix that worked last time hasn't worked today...

Currently I have a 354 baseband flashed onto streakdroid 1.9.1 flashed over a 354 recovery image.

When I first flashed 1.9.1 the 345 bb I used didn't work, so I flashed the 354 and it worked fine, then I eventually had instabilities that ended up in a perpetual bootloop, which led me to the actions above.

Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
I know this may sound like a lot but I promise you it's worth the trouble...

Flash stock recovery for 354 of that's the one you like. Download and flash the 354 update.pkg and flash.

Do a factory reset and let it boot up.

Now flash Streakmod and boot into Streqkmod (I assume you know not to let the stock ROM boot up so it wont overwrite Streakmod)

Flash 1.9.1 again, do another factory reset and then give it time to reboot and any woes you have had should now disappear
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
Sagely advice and I'll try it, also, the latest streakmod boots into streakmod recovery automatically now

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotaro_14:
If you really want to make sure, buy a Korean SGS II Case and if your phone fits perfectly then it has NFC. If it doesn't then it doesn't have NFC. International version aka everywhere except Korea(maybe Japan) has a thickness of .33mm while Koreans(maybe Japanese) have a thickness of .4mm b/c of the NFC chip.

There are a lot of Korean made cases for Korean SGS II just look on Ebay!

a quick hold and check and not a lot of difference apart from the Glossy back cover (not nice) and certainly the power adaptor fits and was happily charging my Acer.

Perhaps we might get a few more peripheral or even a better power adapator available :)

Hi guys,

Newbie here, just got my Arc last week.

I have problems with my games (at least for now), I downloaded apks via google search instead of buying them from the market. I installed them and when I tried to run the game, there's the initial message saying additional data should be installed or downloaded to the phone.

However, upon tapping yes I'm getting this error message over and over again: A problem occured and the download could not be completed succesfully. Do you want to restart the download?

Also, the pre-installed game Let's Golf has this annoying issues.

I have a stable wifi connection. What seems to be the problem?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrick:
Stock phone should be covered by warranty yeah?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
Flashing with seus or pc companion yes definitely you would still have warrenty. With flashtool, no, you need root to flash which voids your warranty. I would try seus first and if that hasn't fixed it return the phone to where you purchased it. This might fix your wierd google problem too which iv never heard of before.

Edit

Flashing with sues will wipe all data, games, sms so you want an app called my back up which saves your apps, games, sms etc but not game save points. Root is required to do that...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srandista:
But flashing with SEUS also wipe user data, like factory reset, just for info.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
Yes perhaps I should of mentioned that. You want an app called my back up which saves your apps, games, sms etc but not game save points. Root is required to do that...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beau420:
It is so much faster to solve problems when people are actually willing to fix them.

It's like saying, how can I fix my cars brakes without removing anything and using no tools.

A better question would be how do I backup the following so that I can run SEUS and reinstall 2.1....then start listing the apps you want to backup. For some apps, all you need to do is copy the data.

Most apps store their stuff on the SDCard, and that doesn't get touched when you use SEUS and reflash. But better be safe and mount the phone on your computer and copy all stuff off the phone.

Backup your contacts (sync using your gmail account) or you can go that extra step (which is a pain and really isn't needed unless you need to backup txt messages) and you would need to root and install something like Titanium Plus and backup with it.

The solution to your problem (if you have already tried reseting your router and changing the password or encryption on the router.,...even when it works on some other device) is to wipe it clean.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverseven:
Thanks for info.

So this seems to be a deeper issue I presume. I will try to rest my router and change the encryption - its just weird how i works one moment then just stops.

Btw, do X10 phones have a hard reset? So the iphone has one where you hold the top button it will reset your phone like you restart a computer, can this be done with the X10?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beau420:
Yup. Go under Settings->Privacy

But a factory reset isn't as good as a complete reflash using SEUS from Sony.

I have fixed 3 phones by logging into a router admin page, and changing the encryption from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK or changing from WEP 64 bit to 32 bit.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverseven:
Is there a restart method that wont erase your data? But one that isnt "power off" then "power on"?

I had an iphone before and the hard boot method virtually solves every problem

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beau420:
On the stock x10, there are a bunch of apps that run in the background that really don't need to.

Another thing you can do is install something like a Task Manager and end applications that aren't being used. An example, is that if I open my camera app and close it when I am done, my camera app stays open for hours after I have exited the program....I could kill it using Task Manager.

Don't use animated desktop....keep bluetooth and data and wifi off when you aren't using them.

My stock phone would only last a day. My BlueSpark ROM, with light use, will run for 2.5 days without having to recharge. When I made my own custom ROM, that was very minimalist, it lasted for 3 days of light use with no charge.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roy Jovero:
It's AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and you're not the only one not happy with the current SK4G options. I personally want MIUI or CM7, but seeing as we're currently stuck with Froyo, we'll have to see what the devs can cook up.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
For future reference, questions go in the General forum, not the Development Forum.

As for AOSP or MIUI, I know that AyoTeddy and Revolution are currently working on separate MIUI roms, and for AOSP, I'm working on that, but not sure exactly what you want from AOSP that's different from what we have?

If you are unhappy with the selection of ROMS here, you are always welcome to make your own, android is open source for a reason.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
If they want the real miui we will need some sort of aosp gingerbread to start with and a custom CM7 kernel or something.. Since we dont have either yet I guess we'll have to make the best out of what we have now like we have been. But those wanting a taste of miui may like what I have planned for my next release.
