Hey all,

OK, so as the title suggests.

I installed and did a backup of my contacts and apps using the MyBackup app and saved my contacts and apps to my SDCard, but they've gone walkabout! Don't ask, cos I don't know how or where they've now gone! Searched the SD card completely and there's nothing! I've since updated to 2.3.3 but MyBackup files have disappeared!

I've found I still have an old *.sbf file that was from my 1.6 to 2.1 update. Hopefully all is not lost and someone can point me in the direction of an app that can strip out the contact info/vCards from here?

Not too fussed by the apps... but a bit concerned I've lost all my contacts?

So... *.sbf app anyone??

Fingers crossed!

Ta
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Check if the backups are in sdcard/rerware/
[XPERIA X10 General] wildgeeza:
Thanks, but as I say, I searched the SDCard and the rerware folder doesn't exist! :(
[XPERIA X10 General] zodiac100:
The exact same thing happened to me. Luckily I sync all my contacts with google and was able to use back up and restore app to restore my messages and such from an older backup I made a while ago.
[XPERIA X10 General] wildgeeza:
Thanks... that'll be my last ditched attempt. My GMail account it heaving with contacts so I don't really want to sync my phone unless necessary.

I'm still hopeful there's a legacy .sbf file convertor out there somewhere (?)

Hi there,

I'm new to these forums and since the Revolution tool came out, I've been getting familiar with flashing custom Roms. Now, I've successfully managed to flash Mike1986's Android Revoution including the recommended radio (Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3) and I was wondering which radio is best for Sergio76's new Coredroid V1 Rom. Does it really matter which radio I use on Coredroid? Thanks in advance!

I would love some help, can someone tell me how to install a rom using Rom Manager. I've install clockwork recovery downloaded CM7.2 for my ascend. Can I install this, using Rom Manager? I have premium, but I have ruined 2 zio m6000 , 1 samsung moment, and 1 ascend. Up really dont want to loS another phone. Could I get a hand, here? I havE nO clue whaT half the things talked about on here are. But, its starting to cosT to much $ learning.
[General Questions and Answers] doublehp:
As we are speaking about ROMs, any wrong operation can turn your phone in a simple book holder. I am not expert (bought my first HTC 3d ago), but already have good experience to help you A BIT.

- enter ClockWork (reboot your phone, press volume-down as it starts, navigate and enter RECOVERY mode: clock-work is installed in the recovery zone; some ROMs may have a reboot-to-recovery feature)

- navigate and wipe system, user-data, and cache zones

- navigate in menus a either perform a restaure, or apply-patch-from-zip depending on your type of ROM (IMG, zip ... )

You can also try to install your ROM without wipe, BUT, if you see CW does NOT says it will erase or format the partition first, then you are going to have troubles (small troubles: it will boot, but not work properly). You can start by this operation, and when you have found how to flash, then you wipe ... this will avoid having an empty system, and have your phone unusable for a time.

If you have a broken system, you can always put the SD card into computer and push a working rom using SD (then CW) or fastboot.

After successfull flash, you may want to wipe user and cache zones. Again, it just helps having a clean system, and is not mandatory; keeping old user-data usually works, but CAN make bugs trigger.

At your own risks. Good luck.

Hi!

I've been wondering if our device could act as an USB host. It would be good to experiment with that feature, adding new drivers to the kernel, and using external devices like a printer, or an usb drive. Is it possible?

I've read some forums, I've seen that on Motorola Droid and ZTE Blade, that they have attached an usb keyboard, or a usb flash drive. These devices did not have a power supply on the port, they solved it externally.

So, the big question is can we enable the host mode on the USB somehow?:D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
I've heard this has to be supported by the processor, and as far as I know the MSM7227 does not support the USB-host function. :/
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bozont91:
I did some research on this, and found something interesting:

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/sEQxpLaNfqmYjQ0clvLM2Q?feat=directlink

I found this in the service manual of our phone :) So it's not impossible - the MSM7227 supports the host mode by hardware:D - the question is how do we get use of this?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
zte blade has MSM7227 -> so if they got it workin ... maybe we can use their drivers?

that would be a great feature
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bozont91:
I've googled a little more on this, here's what I found :D:

USB keyboard+ZTE Blade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ydScM0sXU

The guy's webpage, who made the custom kernel for USB Host mode to ZTE Blade and Nexus One - could be useful :D http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

And his kernel: https://github.com/sonic74/kernel_msm - the only problem is that this kernel is .35, i don't know if we could port the host drivers from that :)

If any devs are here, please help us:)

(I'd love the next SwiftDroid with usb host support) :D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
Before I try looking into this, wtf is USB hosts. I'm gessing its different to Adb and mass storage by the looks of this conversation :/
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
USB host is the 'boss' device so to speak. It gives commands to its connected devices (USB Slaves) So, when your phone is connected to computer, the PC is Host where the phone is a slave. So using USB host on a phone/tablet, means you can connect a manner of devices such as keyboards, mice, flash drives and such. Hope that answers your question :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] clienthax:
any progress?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] TheCuteCriminal:
http://rumah-android.com/read-your-flashdisk-into-android-deviceusb-on-the-go.html any one try this and give us result.........
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fongwe:
USB Host will come with platform 3.0+ ( for tablet )

So, you connect USB device to it.

If you want to control other device with Android platform below 3.0.

May use IOIO Board.

Hi, was just hovering around the web for some HD games and found this HoneyComb launcher for Android 2.1 and up.

Not tried it yet, but seems interesting. Its a clone of the actual Tablet OS, for more details please refer to the link below;

Please google this "Honeycomb Launcher v1.0.2.0-H (1.0.2.0) Android Apk App" and you may find a link to it. Sorry but I am not allowed to post external links.

[HTC EVO 3D] Senorkabob:
Anyone ever have this issue? The minute I step into my house I start roaming and my text messages get delayed by a few hours. As soon as I walk outside everything is kosher. Frustrating!
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
I personally believe this will be resolved in a radio update later on down the road . I to have noticed I can stand in my driveway and get almost full signal yet step into my house and drop to nearly 2 or 3 bars of signal strength . Even at work I step into my office and occassionally jump to roaming from time to time . The most recent PRL update (21080) had a somewhat good impact on my signal when it was released . Its probably best to wait for a radio update to come down the line , I suspect that will be soon .
[HTC EVO 3D] Senorkabob:
Scratch this. Found the fix being an airave device.
[HTC EVO 3D] Senorkabob:
I really hope so. I live in the touristy part of orlando florida, and I spend more time roaming than anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I know a co-worker of mine has this problem, however I get excellent reception even in the most remote areas. I only have bad reception in my break room at work (go figure).

Anyway, I heard by reading these forums that if you call Sprint and complain to them about the roaming problem they will give you a free Airave which should help with your problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] Senorkabob:
Yeah just saw that. Appreciate the help. Only been with sprint going on three weeks now.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
Airave aside, the loss of signal is likely caused by the material your house is built with. Stuco houses have chicken wire wrapped around them, which acts like a faraday cage. The same is true with houses built with metal studs, metal siding, metal roofs, etc. Masonry (brick, stone, cinder block) also decreases the signal drastically. Concrete homes (like ICF) amplify the issue with both the concrete blocking signal and the rebar acting as a faraday.
[HTC EVO 3D] Senorkabob:
Good to know. It is a stucco house.
[HTC EVO 3D] SH4YD33:
PRL 00001 will help you also...
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
yep, 00001 prl has solved my 3g signal issues........before my signal in the house was 10%, not it's 60% according to Elixir app......and 5 bars.

I new and got this xperia x8.

1.Please recommend what things(firmware or what ever it is you put on a phone) to put for this phone. i might get the wrong ones and end up destroying my phone. please.

2.must have apps and stuff put on this phone. sorry but i'm just a pretty little noob for asking this stuff.

3. THANK YOU! and please dont get angry at me cause im just a noob(SOB)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
First thing you must do is read the "all things root" in the Q&A section. It's an introduction to phone hacking. Do that stuff see ROM reviews and always use the search tool. There is a thread about must have apps. Have fun!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corsav6:
Thats a perfect answer, i would recommend GingerDX. I have tried nearly every rom on xda and found that 1 to be the best, especially for a new user as its smooth and ready to run, no real need for any modules as the dev DX has included everything you need. If you want a cm6(2.2 Froyo) rom then Floyo by Racht and Froyobread by Doixanh(DX) are pretty flawless. Good luck and remember to hit the thanks button on previous post by Chris.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphine.zzz:
hy..

i have been using x8 since 3 weeks ago, first day i bought it, i was scared to do something like rooting and using custom ROM. but now, i'm geek to try each custom rom LOL. i recommend you use froyobread 23b first, because its low of bugs, i also recommend you to use stok ROM for 1 - 2 days to ensure your device works properly, rooting may makes your waranty void, do it in your own risk :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corsav6:
PC Companion will repair your device and remove all traces of root.

Froyobread 23b is a great rom but GingerDX is Full Ginger now with the camera and i find it faster.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svobino:
I recomend you.U´ll read something about root,then using Xrecovery and than....Roms.But it´s easy.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pororo:
What does rooting do?

And what does roms do?

What do modules do?

Thanks

Do you recommend doixanh's Gingerbread?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corsav6:
Rooting allows access to parts of the system not allowed normally.

Roms are customized version of android, eg, Rom on your phone is Android 2.1, Froyobread is 2.2 and GingerDx is 2.3. Sony Ericsson will not update us above 2.1 so we must rely on Devs, also Devs roms tend to be better than SE.

Modules are for things like overclock and multitouch along with others. A module can be added to a rom after it has been flashed, eg, x8 comes with 2 types of screen hardware, 1 is capable of real multitouch whereas the other is only fake multitouch. When you figure out what type of hardware you have then you can add the module you need.

GingerDx is stable, i have a few bugs but nothing that will affect everyday use.

I also recommend Kuyadroid as its fast and less updates to worry about.

Always backup current rom in xrecovery and rename the folder to what the rom is, eg, Kuya.backup or GingerDx.backup, this will allow you to set up each rom as you like and then choose whichever suits you best.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epanz67:
and make sure you BACKUP 1st before using custom ROM.. this IMPORTANT!!

:D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codfreak:
If you´re using xrecovery, I would recommend you to backup twice, because it can happen that your /data partition isn´t backed up correctly.

This can also happen to your /system folder, because after I had installed the first custom ROM, Floyo 0.15, on my phone, I didn´t like the UI and the Launcher at first and restored my original SE 2.1.

But it dind´t have the market and all of my downloaded apps anymore, so I had to stay on Floyo.

So, better backup twice, if you have enough free space on your SD.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pororo:
okay Thanks guys for your help now im on GingerDX v007.

BTW How do i put modules on my phone? I wanted to have multitocuh on my x8 too but i dont know how to put modules. coudnt find a tut. thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] surrealjam:
Hi all

I installed JVR last night without any real trouble. I was working my way through re-downloading applications from the Market when I was struggling to find an app I purchased a few weeks back.

It is PES 2011 (Pro Evo Soccer). Right, I thought, I'll push the app from the online market via my web browser (I have used this method before for apps not appearing on the Market application itself). I had no problem finding it via this routine but I am now told "this application is not compatible with the selected device"...

Seems odd when I was playing it on my device yesterday morning, eh? Can anyone else check to see if (on JVR) PES 2011 is visible in the market? I'm not expecting anyone to download it, of course, as it's not free.

Cheers

James
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
Relax m8...had the same with "Abduction"and JVQ and now again with JVR

It seems that the apps have to be loaded to new versions.

My app wasn't there and I even contacted google and the dev of the game. All told me just to wait a few days and voila - after 10 days the app was there so I advice u to wait...just my 2 cents

[HTC Sensation] DJW6927:
I really don't know if this is possible or not.... but I might need to get some new corduroys after a case of the brown adrenalin with my new sensation.

Got it Friday as could see progress on the rooting and sure enough Revolution came up with the goods same day. Rooted it Saturday.

Fully charged it, switched it off and went back to the HD2 - flip case and car kit arriving today. Really don't wanna damage my new boy toy by pocketing it with car keys etc.

Stone me though I thought I bricked it. Wouldn't switch on this morning - just a dark flicker of the screen. Sweat pouring off my forehead. Never bricked a device and flashed my HD2 & TP2 a million times and my £450 unlocked handset is 3 days old and dead..

Long and the short of it is plugged in the charger again and a few minutes later it powers up - 3% battery.

Is it possible it could drain switched off? Or should I blame the kids for messing with it and deduct my dry cleaning bill from their pocket-money?
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
After I rooted, I had to do a battery pull until I was able to turn my phone on again, although this doesn't really replicate what problem you had...

The battery does not drain if the phone is turned off.

Question is, was it definitely turned off?

Even if it wasn't, there's no way a full charge is going to drain overnight... Unless you had a Satnav running...
[HTC Sensation] DJW6927:
You're right - it SHOULDN'T... I'd rebooted no problems several times after the rooting. Some OTA update came over and didn't install successfully though.

It'd be very odd (and a warranty issue, get ready to go into rooting reverse) but for now I'm inclined to just blame the kids. Unless anyone else has has similar experiences.

I guess time with it will tell.
[HTC Sensation] Morsolo:
EDIT: Apparently it's a known issue and has been fixed with the new CWM update! See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Ah ha, looks like it's not just me!

This just happened to me today and I had to change my pants because I thought I bricked it. I rooted it and installed InsertCoin no problems!

Today, as it jumped off my WiFi and onto the mobile network it got stuck on "Disconnecting from Morsolo's WiFi" and just sorta froze there (the phone still worked, but it wouldn't fully disconnect from WiFi, so I got no mobile data).

I turned the phone off via normal methods (40% Battery)... Then it wouldn't turn back on. The phone was a little bit hot at this point, but it does heat up so I thought nothing of it.

For a good 30 minutes, nothing happened. All that I could see happening when I attempted to turn the phone on was, the screen backlight would turn on, fade off, turn on, fade off. No boot, no recovery, nothing.

I tried charging it and it would show the indicator for 2 seconds and stop charging (but this is a known issue, apparently it continues to charge regardless).

After numerous times pulling the battery, trying to start, charging, battery, start... I finally managed to get it to boot and it said the battery was at 3%... After the phone was STONE COLD DEAD for a good 30 minutes to 1 hour.

...I just got home (with a dead battery, of course) and now that I've plugged it in again, it wont boot, again.

I think we've discovered an issue.
[HTC Sensation] DJW6927:
EDIT: Good man. Thanks for the update. Better get onto that right away.

Yup.. that's the same experience... except I'm still on stock rom with tweaks.

What do you reckon - flash back to stock and see if it still happens? Really don't want it turning into permanent paperweight with an iffy bootloader for someone at warranty to find with their JTAG.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
One of the things which has sometimes mildly annoyed me is the apparent under-usage of categories in the marketplace. For some sections of the Marketplace (i.e. entertainment) there are no categories in it.

Well since the recent update to the Marketplace, I'd just like to show you the importance of these categories. I have an app called eyePredictor in the Marketplace (it's a free baby eye colour predictor which I never thought would be particularly popular) which averaged ~5 downloads a day. However, since the recent update and my including the app into a category the download rate soared to ~100 a day.

That's a 20x increase.

I know it could also be due to the opening of new regions, however, my other apps haven't seen such an increase.

So, for all developers, make sure you utilise the categories available to your app. As for us as consumers, I think they're quite a handy feature which should be used more.

Do you agree? Or do you not use them?

I would love to hear your thoughts and if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Casey
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
That's very interesting. I may just write a post on our site about this! I've always been curious about just how often people those Marketplace categories are used and apparently this is a pretty good sign that they do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
Cool. Feel free :)

I'd be interested to see if any other devs noticed this behaviour too. I wonder if it's because it's a relatively unpopulated category thus giving more exposure to the app, guess we can't tell.
