doubtful... most people think it is duck tape... not duct... as in used to repair air ducts. the only reason "duck" tape even came to be is that someone decided to capitalize on the fact that so many people think its quack quack tape.

not that it matters in the grand scheme of things

for the record duct tape is one of the worst things to repair air ducts with. go figure
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Somewhat. During WW2, they nicknamed Duct Tape "duck tape" so in a way, I guess.

I was just saying if someone says Duck Tape, it's not necessarily wrong since they may be calling it by the nickname without knowing it.

The proper spelling, however, is Duct Tape.
[Epic 4G General] Custodian:
which service provider do you have?

Following up, I noticed the weirdest thing. So I got my new (refurbed) phone from Asurion yesterday. Popped the battery in that came with it and activated it. From here, just what you'd expect - rooted it with CWM 3.1.0.1, restarted into recovery, restored from the nand I had (luckily) done the night before, fired it up, and viola...big ol' smile on my face because everything was perfect.

Then it got weird. I powered it off, popped out the new battery and put in my 3300 mAh Seidio (spelling?). It was completely drained! When the "incident" happened with Odin-ing the EG22 modem caused my bricked state, this battery was on a full charge and usually lasted me 3 days easy running OC's at 1.3. It had only been off the charger maybe 3 hours so it should have been in the 90's percent range...but it was drained completely. It took an hour just for it to start to charge. During the process of trying to un-brick my phone, I had also popped in a stock OEM 1500 mAh battery that was also fully charged (my wife has an Epic as well and I know it was full - I didn't dare touch her battery, I'd have never heard the end of it...but I popped my spare in her phone before hand just to make sure it was charged). This battery was completely drained as well. I didn't leave any batteries in the phone after I realized it was perma-bricked. So the short period of trying to revive my phone completely drained two fully charged batteries.

I just thought it was weird. Maybe it's to be expected but i'd never heard of this before...figured i'd share! Fortunately, I got both batteries to fully recharge and my replacement phone is running along perfectly. Just thought the battery thing was really odd...:eek:
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
But you see, rather than assuming he meant to say something else that would have been correct, I base my response on what he actually said. And his statement was that it can be spelled both ways, which is incorrect - duct can only be spelled d-u-c-t :)
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Boost mobile..
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I thought it was to attach the paper-like coverings over duct insulation when used properly.
[Epic 4G General] Krazy_P@:
You thought correctly sir. And wtf is wrong with these forums, no threads stay on topic, started as a bricked phone (sorry for your loss chris) and turns into a debated on duct/duck tape, and it works in reverse as I have seen off topic threads turn into debates with actual content not just flame wars and mindless fanboyisim (if I can claim creation of the word fanboyisim I would like to do so now... unless it's already been used before, in witch case please point me to it's original creator so I can sue them for stealing my intellectual property just like that fruit company) sorry to thread jack but I wonder why everyone allways seems the need t correct people on such trivial topics...
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
You spelt which incorrectly. Youve been flamed.

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G General] waxfondlr:
when i get hard bricked, i pull the battery, hold down 1+power, and then put the battery back in, this has worked for me every single time, hope it helps you out..
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Then you wernt hard bricked.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Exactly... if you can do anything to get your phone running then you were never hard bricked.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
When I am hard bricked, I take some fiber. Metamucil is good.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toumz:
At first i'm sorry for my bad english.

So,

i wanted to flash my x8. I got a backup, and i wanted to restore the backup. But at the half of the "restore-process", my battery was empty. Now my x8 can't boot. Only the Sony Ericsson logo is on the screen. I can't get to xRecovery. What can I do? Or is my phone complete broken?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toumz:
ok i got it.

i used the flashtool

now i got another problem. I flashed a new rom on my x8, but now it doesn't freeze at the sony ericsson logo, but it reboots after the logo. It doesn't boot until CM7 bootanimation. What's now the problem?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Tried a full wipe?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorionl:
Did you do full wipe?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatthewWu:
Try to do a full wipe (Factory reset) at xRecovery :) Maybe it's because you upgrade it from 2.1 / 2.2 to 2.3
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotus13:
Search the forums to recover you phone.Use search button.I've bricked my phone 4times.No problem
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GAME ON:
if ur phone got brick or something..just use the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and it will be as good as new.. ^^
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josip-k:
Hah,i bricked my phone just once.use sony ericsson update service.it will fix your phone.just root it again and install xrecovery again.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corsav6:
I use pc companion to repair my device and then start the root process and custom rom again. As you seem to be a little inexperienced and dont take that as an insult, i will advise not to use FIX PERMISSION in CWM Recovery, that recovery comes with a few roms now and the FIX PERMISSION option will brick your phone.

No luck searching...

I've turned off roaming on my phone and about a million times a day I get a "Data roaming is turned off" or "No data traffic" or something like that.

How can I make them stop? I know phone isn't roaming, I've even set it to gsm only, so why bother me with this all the time?

Thanks for helping!

Oh, on wolfs 2.3.3 4th update
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adjin:
Noone?

Must be a market for an app or something that turns this off?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
Been posted in the X10 and arc sections,thought I'd post it here to :)

New features such as Themes,uninstall apps directly from app drawer,new dock and page indicators,new overview animations and wait for it ...

... landscape homescreen! (gamepad has to be slid open)

http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/07/31/new-sony-ericsson-home-launcher-leaked/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
I have been using this application for around half an hour and it's been working fine. I'll get a few screen shots up of the application in landscape mode.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
^^^^ Notice the "Theme" option.

^^^^ This is what happens when you press it.

Overall I recommend everyone to try this its pretty stable. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
What did you use to take your screenshots? I'm rooted :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.geeksoft.screenshot

It has a nice shake to take a screenshot it mode and it also has a delay mode.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zeok:
Dosen't look like much different to me
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
Well look wise it didn't change much here are the main features.

Landscape mode

Uninstall apps directly from launcher

unknown theme mode (probably coming later)

The widgets shake around in the overview mode

It also seems slightly smoother to me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
UI Tweaks aswell

Different Dock (similar to AT&T)

Different page indicators

Different Folder (when opened)

and for me it's more sluggish then 1.0 :S I only have 3 widgets (Power control,google search and doubletwist)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
Oh yes I forgot those.

Hmm strange for me it's actually faster. Try turning your phone off and then on then wait like 1 minute after it's fully done turning on that should solve your problem.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] JelloFreak:
My play will already do landscape mode when the gamepad is open. I can also uninstall apps from the app drawer. I have the verizon model.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
That's awesome wanted a landscape mode since I got this phone! Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lyonz:
Hey i get a 'Parse error' when i try to load it, any help with that? does my phone have to be rooted or?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thatsupnow:
Yea it looks great with the 100% transparent dock

Sent thru the air!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] metcard:
the dock bar also has a subtle animation whenever you return to your home screen/s after closing an application or exiting the app drawer.

Such a useless little feature, but its crappy little things like this why I like se :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aerox912:
You don't have the Sony ericsson home launcher ;)

Verizon models ship with the standard gingerbread launcher. That's why you already have landscape :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dassub:
Is it possible to replace the current SE launcher with the new one, if I am not on root?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brochador:
can somebody attach the file here? MU says 'download limit exceeded' eventhough I didn't download anything from MU before..

Tried to scan the QR code also but 'download unsuccessful' always.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SE_iCEQB:
It's always something right? -.-

Why can't it go into landscape mode in closed state? Makes no sense at all.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] _terror_:
The question is if it's better then Zeam Luncher (which I'm running right now, works perfect btw)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2488575:
You do not need root.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] German-Guy:
Is this the Launcher from the new Update how SE release today for the Xperia Play?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Graphically some widgets do not resize that well in landscape...

I have a feeling this may be a beta as their very own picture/video widget doesn't load with it and also in the new release it says it has different themes where as this one says none are available.

I do like the ability to delete items from the applications folder but wish they would let me delete some of the bloatware like that stupid postcard one.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] labnjab:
I also got a parse error did i do something wrong
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Think you have to be on 2.3.3 mate.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] labnjab:
Figured it would be something like that. Now if only verizon would hurry up.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] :
nnnnnoooooooo!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] :
as in, "that sucks/and/or is terrible"
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brochador:
Anyone??? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jimmyvau:
Works on my R800x just fine. In fact I like it much more than Launcher Pro or GoLauncher.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] :
was just about to say the same thing
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] :
its refreshing to have a proper home app that works with the keypad :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] _terror_:
I have Zeam Luncher, it's quick, smooth, doesn't take much RAM, no un-necessary features, great options and settings, work in landscape, keypad works on controlling the menu and all the stuff on the home screen, so why get this update?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I like themeability and I'd like to see how good the Landscape support is.

Edit: this launcher is a fairly big improvement against the former one. If you like SE's Home app, you'll definitely like this better.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
I have used Zeam in the past on my previous phone and i really liked it but it did have some random crashes.

the current update hasn't really changed much for what I had preinstalled with my 2.3.3 anyway and I kind like the look of it and instead of having everything on the launcher like I did with Zeam I have catagorized them in the folders which is pretty cool.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TehH4rRy:
How'd you get a transparent dock? I can't see a setting for it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
I'll switch between this and LauncherPro.

Most of the time,I'll be using LP. Way better,more snappier and more customizable.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hexen2006:
What about re-booting the phone? I moved from SE home launcher to Go Launcher, because everytime I re-booted my phone or even connected the SD card via the USB cable to my laptop, It alway messed up my apps arrangement.

I hated to re-arrange the freaking apps to my licking again... I was hesitant to eve connect the phone to my laptop... if this SE launcher mantain the same apps layout as GO launcher does I will definitely update.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I've tested that in detail.

1. I switched from Alphabetic Order to Custom, I moved several apps and rebooted. The order of the apps was kept.

2. I switched from Alphabetic to Custom, rearranged a couple of apps into a certain order, then went back to Alphabetic and again into Custom. The order I had left before switching back to Alphabetic was kept.

In essence, they've fixed the bugs.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
I have moved most of my apps to the SE custom folders on my home screen so i don't ever need to go to the app screen unless I need to use an app I don't often use or something.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
Wonder how long it will be before apple sues for the remove icon from dock X thing?

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
Read the OP again -_-
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
Lol dunno how I missed that
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
I preferred the overview better when it wasn't all floaty and vomit inducing tbh....

I don't see how that is an improvement when some widgets get hidden behind other floating items.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Roshi69:

Has anyone found a workaround to the failure on their own Pictures/Videos widget that gets screwed up after sliding and won't recover till it's readded?

That's the only downside I've found, and I really like that widget :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Doesn't seem to support landscape mode so it probably wont work till there is a full software update.

It probably would work if we got the whole software update package rather than just the launcher.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netorino:
Maybe... we should hear from the people who got the whole update already.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The_Newtype:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
Ive had some problems with the new leaked launcher, sometimes when I connect the SD card some of my homescreen icons vanish. although thats to be expected from an leaked build.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
It's not a leaked beta build, it's the official launcher from the latest ARC firmware update (The one we should get this week). The disapearing icons from SD apps has always been a bug with the SE launcher :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cubsfan3493:
There is not a whole lot that you can do to make this look any cleaner...

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Roshi69:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cisco3280:
Can someone post a pic?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
It's not a bug. If you mount the Sd card on.your PC, you won't be able to access the SD Card on your device. It makes sense that the apps which were moved to the SD are not shown when mounted: they won't work anyways, so why show them?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
I find it annoying when I add things to folders on the homepage and everytime I mount device they dissapear from the folder even after unmounted so I have to put them back in the folder again.

kinda kills the point of having folders.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Ah, if they disappear after remounting the card on your device that's a different issue.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
yeah it is pretty annoying because I like the folders but I hate having to find the apps in the app tray again to place them back into the folder.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netorino:
With the new launcher they show a small SD card icon and the name of the app as a placeholder so all your apps stay in the same place when the microSD gets recognized again.

My brother was like "HOW DID YOU GET LANDSCAPE MODE WHEN YOU OPEN IT?" Yeah he was that surprised to write in caps lol. Still the buggy gallery widget is my only problem :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Not the case for me. Apps still dissapear in folders....

Might only be the case for the app tray.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] thekid5:
Ok, so I've been with Simple Mobile for a while with no problem. The default "Access Point Name" is T-mobile. The new access point name is Simple mobile which after set up all I had to do was move the green dot to "Simple Mobile". Now, since I've updated to gingerbread via LG update tool which installed successfully, I set up the simple mobile access point name and moved the green dot to it. The data then works for about 3 minutes and then the green dot moves back to the damn Tmobile access point name. WTF? I called simple mobile and they said it was because my phone is not unlocked and once I've downloaded the LG update they locked my phone automatically.

Well, I just unlocked my phone and same problem. Can someone please help, this is really annoying. Everything else works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oceandographer:
I to am having the exact same problem.. Exact same phone, exact same carrier.. There has got to be a way to set the simple mobile apn as the default apn :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I am using my G2X in Thailand. I set up my provider as a new APN, selected it and exit out. Everytime I reboot it stays. I think the problem you are having is that Simple and T-Mobile have the same MCC and MNC. At boot the phone reads the sim and sets the APN based on MCC and MNC. In your desired setting change the APN Type to "internet". Maybe this will cause it to become default when you boot up. The TMO one has no setting for apn type. Should be a way to delete the TMO one but it is locked in as default.

Also, flashing new firmware to an unlocked phone does not relock it. I unlocked mine, flashed the GB update and it remained unlocked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gringo75:
NOt sure if will help u but my buddy had the same issue simple gave him what he needed to edit his acsess point just click on simple and there should be a list of stuff they should be able walk you thru it. His is working just fine now hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Are you setting up a new APN entry name "Simple" with apn "simple" and apn type set to "internet"? My settings for my carrier in Thailand are persistent upon reboot. If they don't stay then I would think it is because the MCC and MNC belong to T-Mobile and the phone defaults back to the locked in T-Mobile apn. Otherwise you just have to set it every time and don't reboot so often. There are apps in the market that will set an apn for you upon boot. Maybe you need one of those?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mervant:
Hey I just wanted to check to see if anyone else has had this problem. I have been using the 2.2.3 mysense leak and my bluetooth has stopped turning on. When I try to start it in the wireless settings it'll go grey and say "Turning on..." then after about 20sec goes back to the original unchecked box. I tried to switch roms to cm7 to see if that may be the issue but its doing the same thing. Also I updated my radio from 12.55.60.25_26.09.04.26 to 12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03 but still have the same problem.
