Agreed, Kies is awful.

As others have mentioned, set your phone to USB and copy the music to a folder that you create.

If you have mp3's you want to show up in your ring tones list, copy them to <internal SD>\media\audio\ringtones

Also Ringdroid is a great free app for cropping bits of songs to add to your ringtones list.

If you have mp3's you want to show up in your message tones/notification tones list, copy them to <internal SD>\media\audio\notifications

Create those folders if they don't exist.

I only use Kies for backing up my calendar and memos, I used to use it for backing up contacts but have now discovered it's much better (and easier) to back them up to my SD card through the options in the contacts list.

A lot of people sync their contacts and calendar to their google account, and some people don't use the memo app, Kies is probably useless to them.

Hello all,

I have searched all the forum and also installed more than 10 different Netflix versions, but apparently none of them seems to work with the Sony S Tablet...

Does someone have installed and is currently running Netflix on the Sony S Tablet?

Thanks for help!
[Sony Tablet S] manny315:
I want to install netflix as well.... but I cant
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
They install but video does not start. The only hope is Netflix app fix or rooting the device to add the required video library. Hope it helps
[Sony Tablet S] Ubuntop:
You can watch Netflix (and Hulu) through PlayOn Mobile while you wait.

I have not tried it on tablet but find playon so slow to browse on everything and missing search. Maybe i shall give it another shot. Do they provide a free version allowing netflix or hulu? Thanks

I am planning on getting either phone.

Which phone do you think is better and WHY?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Nexus s. Pure Google experience. Get updates much faster, such as Ice Cream Sandwich. G2x seems very problematic from what I have heard. The screen on nexus is better, the only thing going for the g2x is the processor and slightly faster data speeds.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I have heard nothing but bad things about G2X.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
G2x is galaxy S 2 rite?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerwatt12:
I've had the G2x i traded to the Nexus S

They're about equally matched

The G2x doesnt have reboot issues anymore (after update)

at first, when dual-core was bleeding edge, it had some problems

The screen is slightly curved on the edges

1080p video

Dual-core tegra 2 (my Nexus S outscored the tegra 2 in Quadrant Video subsection)

Screen is average

Less plasticy then the Nex

Speaker is not loud at all

LG doesnt give the best tech support

The Nexus S will get updates faster

No Micro SD (16GB built in at high speed)

NFC (Google Wallet+MasterCard/PayPass)

No 720p video

Screen is amazing, pentile may look funny the first 2 days, but i cant even tell the difference anymore..

Curved glass feels nice on your fingers

Minor WiFi reception problems

It all depends on what you want. I traded a used G2x for a new in-box Nexus S. I just love the AMOLED screen, you cant tell where the screen ends, that's how good the contrast ratio is
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawayne21:
No, its an LG Optimus G2x.

The Galaxy S 2 is a GS2.

But thanks guys .. still wondering. Its hard when you want a phone thats going to last you a bit.

Heres how I see it:

nexus s: Better battery, better screen, nicer design.

g2x: Better performance, more powerful phone, better build quality.

So here i am trying to get convinced lol.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaestreetss:
Wow i have had both phones & j was happy with my g2x after i learned how to root n upgrade to g.b. but the nexus is kind of faster. I think either phone is good but there's more dev & mods on the g2x.

This is because the nexus s everything works out the box.

Plus you know were gonna be 1 if the 1st to get ics.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpanic7:
i used tge G2x and currently now im on Nexus S. These are the reasons i didnt like G2x:

-Battery Life is not as good as Nexus S.

-The LCD is actually really nice and bright, how ever the pixel density and image quality are no where near as good as Nexus S.

-To be really picky, the phone is awkward shaped and proportioned, its too tall for its screen size

+every other reason people have mentioned, HOWEVER i didnt have a single known issue problem with mine

hope this helps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawayne21:
Im looking to put it on Simple mobile and am not going to pay 500+ for the prime lol.

Hmm, I got a better idea, Even though i am leaning more towards the Nexus S, Im going to buy both and try them, then sell whichever i like less.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
That works!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjlefebvre:
Dude, I did the same thing –bought a G2x and a Nexus S on Craigslist and have been playing with them for about week now. G2X, rooted and ROMed, is fast, stable and a nice looking machine. On the right ROM, the battery can last all day, evening with streaming music, calls and texts, and still be half full. The camera is fargging great, too. There are two complaints I have. One is that the G2x feels a little awkward in my hand, especially compared with the curved Nexus S, which fits perfectly. The G2x is just a millimeter or two too wide for a comfortable grip for me. The other is the ICS situation. I’m sure the G2x devs will get ICS onto the phone via Cyanogen or whatever, but because LG won’t be open with certain drivers it’s uncertain whether ICS will be able to take full advantage of the phone. Oh yeah, and the comment about the sound issue is accurate, too. Although sound clarity is great, the speaker is quiet – if you’re in a crowd or noisy room, it can be a little difficult to hear who you’re talking to.

Basically, you can’t go wrong with either phone. I’ll probably hang on to both until it becomes more clear how the ICS situation plays out and then sell one of them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawayne21:
Honestly, I dont even care about ICS lol .. I just want an all around better phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
See that is why ics is so important. The UI will be hardware accelerated giving you the smoothest experience possible. Hardware acceleration on a single core will blow away a software accelerated dual core.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
FFC means front facing camera.

Personally I love my G2x. Yes our developer community isn't as large as the Nex S but the stuff that we do have is great. I love the power of our dual core processor with the G2x but the SAMOLED screen of the Nexus is awesome too!

Had my pad in my bag for work hanging off a chair.

Bag slides off chair and falls, maybe 2 feet to floor?

Now my transformer will not show anything on the screen. When I wake it, the screen lights up a pale black. It basically repsonds to waking it but there is nothing displayed on the screen.

I want to try and reset it but don't know how without waiting a few days until it dies.

Any suggestions?

They are sending shipping label and the pad will then be on its way to Asus support for anywhere from 5-14 days turn around time. (depending on availability of components)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaNsA:
good stuff, let us know how you get on.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didge3:
This is a common issue with many transformers unfortunately after drops and knocks.

It is actually the data cable for the display coming loose, the back light is still on because the display is still powered, making the pale black of the screen. There is a guide somewhere on xda to take your TF and reconnect that specific cable. If you do not wish to take you TF apart I found hitting the back of the tablet (near the base where the connector is) it a flat palm can often knock the cable slightly back into place. This actually worked for me personally and it hasn't broken since.

Strange however why SEUS didn't work, I mean it did work, but nothing happens. Vibrate upon powerup, no screen image, no combinations can make it work again.

The phone has also started vibrating until I do a battery pull (once in a while)

Also, where would I find the 1.6 roms?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuner520:
I've had times when after wiping caches, flashing rom, baseband, and kernel, the phone took 15minutes to boot up. Make sure to wait long enough for the phone to restart, after flashing matching rom, baseband, and kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlambrecht:
Hello, thanks for the reply! I will give this a shot!

However I am relatively a noob to this, so any idea how I would flash the baseband and kernel?

I did use another rom to flash, and it worked!

It turned on, I configured it. I turned it off and.................

same issue now. I turn it on, it vibrates, however that' the end of it. The screen is still black, granted I have not waited 15+ minutes.

Still. How the heck did it turn on the first time. It had the icon of the "camera with a blue arrow" and then it paused a while at the Sony Ericsson loading screen. Then it asked me for initial configs.

BTW, I am on Virgin Mobile.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanman911:
Did you try the SEUS repair? By this I don't mean the one that comes with PC Companion.. but there is a stand alone application out there.. However also check to see if the ROM your loading is meant for an unlocked boot loader or not, if it's expecting an unlocked boot loader, I would think an error such as that would occur.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlambrecht:
Tired it. SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) loads, says that a newer version was found, downloads it. Flashes it. And same thing.

The interesting thing is that my x10 DID boot and did turn on. I could use it, however when I restarted it, that was the end.

Now I tried reflashing the same ROM, it just freezes at a black screen after the white "Sony Ericsson"

I am trying SEUS again, maybe that will work... However now it tells me that the software is allready installed. I thought it should be overwritten by the new rom with flashtool?

Very odd......

Still. the Charge LED does not work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beau420:
First, pop out the SDCard.

Then open the x10 Flash tool and go here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936733

Downloaded this

All Generic 2.3.3 Kits For X10a

X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip (140.5 MB)

Then in the x10 Flash tool, click Flash, navigate to the folder where you have extracted the file that that x10a.zip file

Then turn off the phone, remove battery. Plug USB into computer and phone, hold the back button on the phone, and while holding down on that back button, slip back in the phone battery.

Hopefully that will initiate flashing the phone to 2.3 and maybe fix some of those problems.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuner520:
1) download 2 things, flashtool 3.0 and go from SE generic firmware,

download firmware from here

Flashtool from here

2) take flashtool and decompress it onto desktop and into a flashtool folder. Then take the .ftf file out of first download, and stick it into the "firmware" lfolder located inside flashtool folder you created above.

3) start flashtool by double clicking flashtool (the application) file, once the program starts, click on "Flash" button, choose ftf file Sony Ericsson Global GGL or whatever the name is and press OK button at bottom.

4) Flashtool program will configure itself, and when ready, another window will show up telling you what to do. Make sure you have a good USB cable.

5) *if it doesn't work, take out the SD card and SIM card and try again.

6) report back after trying or not.... if it works, you will have a global generic 2.3 in your X10 and you will ready to root it, install Xrecovery, and flash a custom rom from the development section.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlambrecht:
Thanks for the great support guys!

I am about to try this out, just a quick question, (well 2 actually)

1) Do I need to have the SIM in the phone

2) after flashing (after flash-tool tells me to remove the USB and turn the phone on), do I insert the SD card back in the phone?

Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beau420:
Stick in SIM and SDCard.

Make sure the phone is not plugged into the computer. Make sure the phone does have power. (battery power can go from full to under 10 percent just through the flash process)

Just to confirm....you flashed to X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip ??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlambrecht:
X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.zip indeed, extracted it, flashed the ftf using the tool. Pretty sure the battery was in good condition.

So I would flash it with both the SIM and SD card in the phone?

After the flashing is successful, I would unplug the USB, and turn the phone on, that's when it would vibe once (and blink the green LED), the backlight would come on, and then nothing.

Is there nothing I need to do before flashing? Flash a new bootloader or kernel on it?

Also, isn't it strange that when I plug a charger into the phone, the LED that is supposed to glow orange doesn't glow at all?

I want to blame the HW, but it did work -_-'

====EDIT====

I think I am going to give up soon. I've flashed like 4 different roms on it, upgraded the software with SEUS, It worked once (booted in once, asked me for inital configs), tried the same rom, wouldn't work a second time... Should I just give up?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuner520:
I am assuming you waited the 10 - 15mins after flashing the gingerbread global... that ftf file had kernel baseband and rom in it. Anyways , didnt you buy it from an xda member? why dont you ask for help or relevant info?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlambrecht:
Yes, I did. (both to buying it from a member, and to waiting 15 min - waited overnight).

I met the seller in person, and had a working phone at the time of purchase. The phone broke after the first shutdown.

When I called the person, he brushed me off, said "Did the phone work when I sold it to you, yes? Then why are you calling. Goodbye" :S

Oh well, You win some you lose some.
