[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Hello there guys!

Let's start a list of the bloatware per region! Bloatware = apps not by SE that appear on your phone after the update to 4.0.A.2.368 and cannot be removed.

Ordering this by customization, PM me or answer in the topic and I'll add them to the first post asap.

Global Generic is NOT a customization. When you're flashing the so-called global generic firmware with flashtool it's usually just a random Generic firmware. Global firmware does not exist. If you updated over Wotanserver you should know what your customization is. Otherwise try Googling your CDA (*#*#SERVICE#*#* -> Info -> Software -> Customization Version without the _RXD. I know it will usually say Generic World on that screen, but that doesn't matter. It says that on every Generic firmware.)

Germany (least bloaty) (flashable via Wotanserver: Generic Trade Germany)

- TouchNote

- Lets Golf!

Nordic:

- TouchNote (post card thing)

- Wisepilot

- NeoReader

- Lets Golf!

Nordic (Telia Branded)

- TouchNote

- NeoReader

- Lets Golf!
[Xperia Arc General] indycar:
you can add facebook n youtube to that list
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Nordic, Telia branded.

Touchnote

Lets Golf

Neo reader
[Xperia Arc General] Mobage:
It is just a random Generic firmware from where?

So global generic firmware is just a country/region generic firmware?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
The Global Generic files you see here on XDA from time to time are indeed always region specific. The only reliable way to find out your region is by checking the bookmarks your browser has by default.
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
No "get games" or "friends music" and similar junk? How does the Telia branding look?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Wondering about that too. Does the Telia branded have a "Get Games", "Get Extensions" and "Get Apps" thing by SE?

(and Fun&Downloads in active services)
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
yes it does :)
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
Will then it is not less bloated than others.
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
every firmware have those sony apps, but some firmware may not include touchnote, neoreader and all that other crap
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
Ok then, Generic Trade Germany here. I have only ...

- Lets Golf!

- Touchnote

... as non-removable non-Sony apps. There is NO Neo Reader on the device. Four apps can be removed (UEFA, Experia Hotshots and two more - don't remeber the names right now). I have 213MB free RAM after boot.

I have to note that this is a clean install of the ROM via Wotanserver (my bootloader ist still locked) and not an update of the old version 3.

As much as I don't like Facebook to be on the device, the ROM is pretty non-bloaty as some of the Sony apps are quite useful.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
That makes Generic Trade Germany the least bloated version out there!
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
It looks like it indeed. Strangely enough the update via PC Companion gets you Neo Reader and the junk. The same ROM clean via WotanServer doesn't. You start at zero though because WotanServer clears the device completely. I think that's good though because it avoids potential troubles with leftovers from older versions.

It's the second ROM on the list -> http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-neo-mt15/4-0-a-2-368/language-download

Here are some quick and dirty shots of the 'clean' drawer ...

[Xperia Arc General] DemonicHawk:
What's the video application? Is it from SE?
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
That is Qriocity, video streaming from Sony -> http://www.qriocity.com/us/en/video.html
[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
What the hell? I know SE not sell kits with Generic World SI, but people do get them from SEUS, so I don't get it, how come it exists ? SE made it o note?

UK support told me that there no suck region as Global Generic and it's not SE ROM, but a custom ROM. try to explain ? because ARC and NEO got Global ROM,

also a X10 with 2.1 has Global..maybe it's a ROM for dev's...
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
It's never a global ROM. Never. I can check by flashing them and then looking up the region in EMMA and when a global ROM is placed online it is usually just German, UK, Scan or HK generic. There is no real difference though. But the "Global Generic" firmware does not exist on the servers of SE.
[Xperia Arc General] bassie112:
Btw, when you delete junk you also have to delete the apps under system/etc/product/applications. Or these will reinstall after a restart... uefa.com and Neoreader did that in my case.
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
Depends how you define 'restart'. A normal reboot will do nothing, they will still be gone. They will come back after a factory reset though - and can be uninstalled again. But how often do you do that?
[Xperia Arc General] bassie112:
Not in my case. Whenever it shuts down due to instability or battery removed it reinstalls those apps. A normal restart will not trigger it indeed. Trust me, I could not find this reinstall problem for a few months until a saw the 2 apk files by accident and now no reinstalls anymore. It's quite annoying when your phone lags due to installing of bloatware.
[Xperia Arc General] E15i:
OK, but why it has it's own SI then? and BTW, there 3.0 GENERIC and 4.0 GENERIC fro ARC & NEO, so you say somebody make them ? but not SE?

I always thought that the Global ROM is the base for all CUST and Branded ROMS, so every region can add/remove items, and also every network could add/remove items (language, bloatware, etc.)
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
You're not getting me. There are many many Generic ROM's, just not any Global ones. There is no way to tell what region your ROM has aside checking it with EMMA. If you think you have a Global Generic ROM, PM me and I'll prove to you it isn't Global!

[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
None of the preinstalled software appears to display updates, and I want to update the YouTube player. However, I have no way of knowing if the YouTube app that comes on the 4D is custom made for it or not, and thus am worried if updating it will result in loss if 3D YouTube playback or it not running on my phone's resolution.

While I'm at it... I noticed that despite the EVO 3D having a 16:9 aspect, YouTube videos.which are 720 or 1080 are cut off from the sides in 3D mode. Is there anything I can smdo about this?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Yes, updating to the new YouTube version will still play in 3D. I've tested it, and it works fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Yup ^^^
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Yup again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Ok, this is getting ridiculous. 3D videos play fine horizontally but are cut off extremely from the top and bottom, almost half my screen is blank!

Take this video for example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U0ZDjnQiXQ

If I play it through YouTube it is heavily cut off from the top and bottom, half my screen is blank. If i play the mp4 file I downloaded from that very same link using flashgot on my pc it plays perfectly and in fullscreen.

I can't find any sort of zoom or crop settings to change this.

like I said in the titile.

sometimes,

I would go to the browser, notice it not working, go to settings, and its always turning on, when I never even turned it off.

sometimes it would say ERROR

its not serious or anything, but still freaks me out.

Can anyone tell me what wrong?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
Ditto with mine. It keeps dcing automatically. Never really went into settings to check, always waited for the wifi to get connected by itself.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun3vi1:
Solutions...?

I have found two things that caused a similar problem on mine. If you have an unlocked bootloader, pudding and/or custom kernels, they seem to conflict for some reason. When I had both on my device, the wifi never worked.

Another problem I have run into is having a radio that is out of date. Try this one here: http://www.droidmatters.com/news/breaking-motorola-atrix-4g-gets-hsupa-not-from-att/

it works like a charm :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
My atrix is stock, only rooted. Also I'm not on AT&T, I don't think that radio is for me =(

Hiya!

I have been tracking my data consumption for my LG Quantum on Telus and I noticed that I was consuming quite a lot of data, despite the fact that I have not used it for anything more than answering an email or two. Looking deeper, I found that my Data consumption was between 100-500KB during most of the day, but for 15 minutes at around midnight (if not then, then at midday), my data consumption soars to over 9000KB (8.8MB) (it doesn't say for what).

It has been doing this since I activated the service.

Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DLeeHarley:
I'm looking for some "Expert" LOL opinions on this. I've got my original G2x that I got on opening day. It doesn't freeze and has only rebooted a handful of times. I'm getting the "Connection Failed" sign when I try the OTA upgrade. I know I can install the update manually but with a lot of people trying to go back to Froyo should I keep my bird in the hand , or should I upgrade in hopes of getting a little better Battery management.? What are the pro's & con's as you all see them?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I would just update using the LG Tool, because it gives out a different version than the T-Mobile OTA. I'm not exactly sure what the differences are though (Probably not noticeable)

But it is worth it to update. You'll get the updated baseband which will give you instant GPS Locks, and better Signal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
I too Have my original g2x with no problems and I have had it since the second week it was relesed. I got the LG update the hoour it came out and had no problems it worked like a charm. My phone is now better than ever I cant complain it gets really good battery loife and almost never reboots not that it rreally rebooted before. I say cgo for it man As long as your phone works good and you havent innstalled a bunch of crap on the phone you should be fine.

[Thunderbolt General] inexplicability:
I just got a replacement from GRIP, which is the insurance provider for third-party retailer GoWireless, because I had a cracked screenand the phone was brand new, right out of the box with all new cables and SD card (I switched the cables with my old ones, and switched my old memory card and put it into the new phone). I was really surprised because I thought I would receive a refurbished phone.

Does Asurion do this? And what is the deductible?
[Thunderbolt General] blueis300:
refurbished
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
100 deductible too
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
New, if phone no longer availible they will try to offer reman or offer different phone hopefully its the newest one of same model like the incredible then its goes dinc 2.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
as explained above, 99% of the time its refurbished. meaning there is that 1% chance you could get a new one, but dont cross your fingers.

they did replace my old HD2 with a new HD7 since the HD2's were no longer available.

sucks to... i missed windows mobile 6.5 .................
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
My rounds with them 100% new or got newer model

Did not miss much with 6.5 still had problems
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
My evo4g was brand new, then when I switched to vzw and had water damage at work I got another thunderbolt new also. Kind of nice having a 2ed 32gb card for my tablet.

When I had my phone replaced by sprint and vze at the stores for a problem those were referbs

sent from my thunderbolt running SHIFTS3NS3, using the XDA premium app
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
when i exchanged my TB for an Inc 2 i forgot that i took out the 32GB card & had left it connected to my PC.

the guy at best buy never even checked for it(and i forgot until i got home). so then i had the 32 + the 16 that came with the Inc 2.

fun times !

and yes, obviously i have another TB

Is there a way to get sense launcher on our phones with the KG6 rom/code?

I don't know much with how the launchers work but if it is possible I really like the scroll gingerbread app drawer. If anyone knows of how to do this please let me know.

Thanks to all!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
I don't think it can be done the launcher is a part of the sense framework and its hard to port it over. Another thing without proper resizing the sense 3 launcher resolution is higher than our phones resolution is.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihasa:
Tried to flash an original firmware. Got stuck at 59% for 20 minutes so i pulled the plug. But in the process i lost s-off and recovery.

Now i cant install any RUU (tried 8-9) and i tried with 3 gold sd cards. Install from windows or PB99IMG is not working. Every time i run a RUU from windows 7 i get error 132 - signature error. I dont understand why because i have a gold card and my cid is suppose to be HTC__032 which should be unbranded.

I dont have xp but i highly doubt i would get signature error from the OS

Now when i connect the phone i get a black screen - in the middle says HTC and in each corner of the screen is a little triangle with an exclamation mark inside.

If i unplug it i get the standard hboot screen:

Bravo PVT! Ship S-on

Hboot 0.93

Radio 5.11.05.27

RUU

So. Is my Desire bricked?

Hi,

First of all, I'm from the Netherlands so my english is might bad.

Well, I have an SE Xperia X10 with "WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V3.6.0". I just hate it to connect my usb cable everytime i want to transfer something. So my question is; is there any app which can display my phone in my workgroup on my pc (with Windows 7 x64)?

My second questions, what is mediaserver? I googled it and people were saying its your phones sound or something like that? But i think that's kinda improbable because it has wifi settings, clients settings, and servername settings.

It would be great if you could help me!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
So my transformer will not be detected by any pc over usb. I have tried 3 different pcs, they all give an error that the usb device has malfunctioned.

I installed and reinstalled all the asus software and drivers but can't get it to work. Did a factory reset no go. I am on Prime 1.7

Asus wants me to go in their boot menu (vol down + power) and wipe it. I am just worried this will screw something up since I am rooted and can't connect to a pc if something goes wrong. What do you guys think?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
No one has an opinion on this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodburyMan:
You have tried three different transformers and they all error out?

If this is the case it seems like a problem with your computer. Do your USB ports function properly with other USB devices? (Such as USB Flash Drive, etc). Also, have you tried your Transformer on another computer? This will narrow down if it's your computer or your Transformer. If it's your computer than a Wipe is certainly not necessary.

If you are running Windows 7 or Windows Vista there's a bug I get sometimes. In Vista and 7 there's a "generic" built in MTP driver that the operating system has to control the Transformer. Installing the Asus provided driver works as well, however sometimes my computer gets confused and for some odd reason will try to use the generic MTP device driver. Updating the driver forcefully to use the Asus usually does it or simply rebooting my machine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I have plugged my one single transformer into 3 different pc's, so I could rule out the pc as the problem.

I am running windows 7 64bit. It has worked fine until all of a sudden. It feels like a hardware problem to me but idk. If I rma I need to put the TF back to factory settings but without the usb working I don't know how.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyman123:
Since you're already running Prime 1.7, that means you already have CWM working so I would suggest doing a nandroid and then trying out another rom/kernel which might possibly re-trigger your usb to work. You can wipe as well, perhaps even do a wipe all (reset to factory settings) before flashing a new rom. As for RMA, you would unfortunately need to unroot your Asus prior to sending it back, but atm, I don't think there is a method to do so without a physical connection to the PC. Hopefully, reflashing a different rom/kernel will help.... good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
Good advice, I have just been scared to flash since this happened in case something goes wrong. So what do I flash first a rom or a kernel?

I think maybe the problem was I was running the blade kernel with Prime 1.6 and then just instsalled 1.7 over it. Not sure if thats bad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
So I booted into CM did a factory reset/wipe and installed the revolver rom, no luck, same error, bummer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyman123:
looks like you may just be unfortunate with a defective device :(

was usb working in Prime 1.6? if you came from Prime 1.6, did you do a nandroid before you flashed to 1.7? If you did, try to nandroid back. Other than that, your usb must be somehow borked.

P.S.... just in case, perhaps try a new usb cable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
Actuall I think I have an old backup or two I'll try that. And yah a new usb cable was the first thing I did.
