Smartphones are app platforms, whatever flavour the OS is. Most of what people spend time doing on their phone, whether it be texting, gaming or emailing, is using apps. UI isn't a factor for me as i only see it for a very brief period until i launch the app i need.

If anything, it's the quality of the apps that should be compared between platforms, not the UI. Android Market could probably do with a bit more quality control, that's my own criticism really. Like for like apps on iOS are often more polished than their Android equivalent.
[Android General] xaccers:
Exactly, you've freely admitted that you found Android too complex, so of course the simplicity of such a basic OS as WP7 is going to appeal, lets face it, it's even less complex than iOS.

It's ideal for people who have never used a touch screen phone before, or even a mobile phone of any kind, especially if they have fat fingers, the sort of people who are not going to notice the lack of functionality but are easily impressed with visual effects.
[Android General] z33dev33l:
xaccers, I still find it comical that you call me the troll but eh. I guess if that's your prerogative. I prefer my phone have decent social integration or as they put it, be "peoplecentric." as I use my phone primarily for *gasp* communication. The fact that it's also aesthetically pleasing is just a bonus, another that android does not have.

DirkGently, I agree to some extent, but I guess I feel the way I do because with WP7 the UI is uniform across the whole OS and most third party apps. I've come to appreciate the beauty in that. I do also agree that I see more quality in both the iOS and WP7 versions of apps that are on all platforms.
[Android General] Zmotocescu:
Let's not forget that you can't connect to ad-hoc wireless networks. I mean... c'mon...this is just lame.
[Android General] cdesai:
Kinda not related, but i'ld like the source to be mirrored at some more reliable location xD

Getting to topic, i do like the custom overlays(tw, sense, etc..) but they take significant resources and are one of the causes behind slow updates
[Android General] Shiping:
Wifi is the big problem for me

I have wifi issues with Archos 70 (Android 2.1 to 2.3, rooted), and Arcer Iconia (Honeycomb 3.2 rooted). Android seems does not like my working wifi and stay in obtaining ip most of the time.

And, I plan to listen some online radio (Domi, Douban for say), once the tablet goes to idle mode, wifi disconnected, make it useless. I tried to set wifi disconnect policy, tried wifi alive, wifi lock, wifi buddy and maybe most wifi related apps in the market, none work.

While iTouch works fine for above 2 scenarios.
[Android General] SwiftLegend:
Battery life and more quality apps. Seriously, has anyone else noticed that Android apps feel kinda rushed and low quality. Especially if that company/app is on iOS. I always felt that the iOS counterparts seem a lot better and that more time and effort is put into them.

Also, improvement on multitasking. I don't really like the little recent app window crap. Something along the lines of WebOS's multitasking screen would be a really nice addition. Also, notifications should be a little more organized. Apple did a good job with this on their notification dropdown ripoff..

By UI he probably means Android's base UI, Stock Android. You have to admit, it is pretty meh. Downloading a app killer/task manager is a bad idea. That bogs down Android more than background apps do.

Authenticated Proxy

I do a lot of corporate wireless installations and I would love to see authenticated HTTP proxy built into Android phones. The iOS authenticated proxy may not work well but at least the options are there to allow it!
[Android General] rasfos:
Root and underclock your phone.

I definitely would like to have google voice work with multiple accounts like many other apps.
[Android General] Hunt3r.j2:
I think the biggest thing Google needs to do is to actively identify partial wakelock and any reason why a phone would be woken from deep sleep when screen is off in the battery status area. Number of times+length of time an application is keep the phone awake when screen off.

That would be the single biggest help to people trying to fix battery issues.

GPU accelerated browser and the entire UI should also be GPU accelerated. It's all about the silky smooth consistent 60 fps that really wows people. Oh, and a stock interface that rivals HTC Sense in polish, without the bloat.

Easier ways to change themes in stock ROMs - i.e. like in Desktops. Without the need to install from .zip for flashing anything. Not only changing wallpaper but icon sets, sounds, etc.
[Android General] 1stCentauri:
surely would love to see Apple dry their tears and move on
[Android General] edderrd:
1. Battery usage is worst on stand by

2. resuming a application some times reloads the whole application

3. Better API for game developers, games are good but could be better if the provide more API libraries, for instance Fruit ninja doesn't look that good on android against iPhone.

4. Less fragmentation, some phones don't get updates if the manufacturer said so, they are devices less that one year old and they said that will not get updates any more :mad:
[Android General] Wooe:
My main issues with Android atm are all related to Market, mainly:

1. Where is the ability to gift apps to others?

2. There were huge cries about Apple and the smurfberries etc. but where is the option in Market to require password for in-app purchases, or even for buying apps? Should users have to remove their card info between purchases and add it anytime they want to buy instead?

3. The very general and long running issue of searching for apps, its bloody google! There should not be any app store where finding what you want is easier then Market, yet this is not the case, and every time they 'redo' Market it seems to be all about looks. I pray everytime a Market update is announced that it will make it Google worthy, but so far no luck.

That said, Android and Market has awesome sides as well. The web based Market is great, but I want to be able to browse it, whilst Google's algorithms helps me find just what I look for, and then when buying, choose not only wich device to install it to but wether I want to buy it for myself or gift it as a birthday/namesday/valetine etc present.

It's 2014 and Android is now at 4.4.2. Still...

It's 2014 and Android is now at 4.4.2. Still...

* I still can't remove apps from my "history" in Play Store. Do they really think I want to have free/ad-versions of apps I've later paid for or simply just tried and discarded.

* Google should force OEM:s through legal agreement to release the source of drivers outside vanilla Android when support/development for their model is stopped.

* Google should force OEM:s through legal agreement to keep their models updated with the latest stable Android for a specified number of time. I find it redicilous that I still to this day can go to a store and buy a new phone with Android 2.2.3! It's insane. A smartphone is a computer that needs to be updated.
[Android General] batna.antab:
Mmmmh, let's see...

1 design consistency in apps but also in the Ui in general.

2 better recent app switcher, like the one on sense 6

3 smoother scrolling and animations.
[Android General] hanzo777:
what i dislike about android is there is no way to add multiple apps to the desktop once, you always need to switch between the app drawer, drag the app for every app. also some transition effects will be nice.
[Android General] doubleelec:
I'v found a little problem recently, that the Android put some system data into /data partition, so when I want to backup my system I have to backup /data also, otherwise it might have problem after restoring. However, the /data is usually so big and I don't want to backup.
[Android General] ShadowLea:
1. MTP. Which drunken idiot thought that would be useful? Bring back UMS.

2. Textwrap in the HTML viewer. 4.3 had it, but it's gone in 4.4.2....

3. Paypal in the Play Store. Or at least some way to pay with a Maestro card...

4. The 'Sort by' options back in the Play Store's Search. If I search for "Battery Saver" I have to browse through 58 apps before I get to the decent ones...
[Android General] Hr Kristian:
1. Customizable quick settings.

2. Expandable audio sliders.

(Both Cyanogen Mod features)

3. Pressing notification bar clock does not open settings, but your default clock app.

Number three is kind of ridiculous in my eyes, who the hell enters clock settings e every day? I enter my clock app often.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rosshalz:
So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's :)

Here at xda, help is never too far away :D (I was there once too)

I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)

0) You'll lose all data with this method....

come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc

1) Turn off your phone

Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...

2) Install Flashtool

go here and downlad flashtool

Install on your windows pc

Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool :D

3) Download and flash stock 2.1

Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)

4) Flash this rom using Flashtool

In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3

Once you have 2.1 on your phone,

5) Enable USB Debugging and Root

Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? :D)

Once rooted, disconnect the phone.

6) Get yourself a root file manager

Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.

7) Access and edit the build.prop file

Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit

8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion

Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro

9) [optional] Root and recovery

The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.

Hope that helped!

Enjoy :)

Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs :D

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
I have bricked xperia mini x10, and it's failing to boot. Debugging is turned off, so flashboot can't recognize it.

Can someone help?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.

Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC

Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update

Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option

Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware

Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable

Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.

Step F: Wait till it's done...

How to bring back alive my X10 Mini Pro?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rosshalz:
(Damn I've been gone a while)

Not too sure of the greek firmware file bro.. can you put the link of the forum where you got it from? are you sure it is a stock firmware?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jasonmiracle:
cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jasonmiracle:
hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....

and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....

flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

unable to flash customised kernel probably because of the locked bootloader

s1tool shows locked bootloader

i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h426/jasonforeverlove/11-2.jpg

problem- cant turn on the phone in order to choose usb debugging mode to root the phone

problem- SEUS cant detect update to my phone...

spent 3 weeks in vail...wish i can get it working ...reli hope to succeed in using customised ROM :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.

(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)
