[Xperia Arc General] diggedy:
Actually this is what happened to me when I first started looking for xperia info some time ago, I thought it was an official site so I was surprised to read some of the posts.

For that reason I can understand why SE have taken this action. On the other hand, theres no reason why xperiablog cannot start up under a fresh name, if they have so many followers already it wont be so hard to spread the word.
[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
They could, but from my knowledge, there are 2 reasons they're demanding the close. First is to prevent any damage to their brand from the site, and the other is to demand the xperiablog domain. I'm sure xperiablog.com will be popping up soon from them, which they have the authority to do since the word "xperia" is their's to begin with. So to prevent any confusions for people who hit SHIFT+ENTER instead of CTRL+ENTER wouldn't be redirected to the wrong site.
[Xperia Arc General] Mesho Arc:
SE, you're a JERK.
[Xperia Arc General] Brennusbr:
Maybe that's because the Xperia name IS going to be the "new" name of Sony Erricson? Because it's already been said Sony is going to take full control of Erricson and SE already said its going to focus just in the Xperia line. It seems the jigsaw is falling into place......
[Xperia Arc General] Jygar:
The guy on the SE support forums is investigating this as he is aware how much the community use it and the damage it could do.
[Xperia Arc General] grillorojo:
It's a shame, why?
[Xperia Arc General] lastword112:
Did these people start a new blog? i really miss them.
[Xperia Arc General] Kifsito:
Why demanding to close?? Can't they just ask the blog to be renamed and change address?? Ppl still have the right of keep talking about xperia phones in other forums or places not under the "xperia" name..

SE can be a total jerk....
[Xperia Arc General] robsaw:
The "name" is the issue not that a blog exists that discusses xperia phones.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Their twitter account is still active.

Congratulations Sony, you are awesome in Q3/Q4.

Sorry for english
[Xperia Arc General] pradeepvizz:
Good to know :)
[Xperia Arc General] Jinx13:
They are only asking for the domain name to be changed over to them.

It's easy to register a new domain and register it to the site.

Can they not sell the domain name to SE at a reduced rate? A domain like that might go for a bit.

The domain host that they use would have other domain names and then just register the hostname to the new domain.

Hi, I'm really not sure which baseband to use for my O2X :(

I'm running CM7.1, and I have been reading a few things that changing the bb might make things a bit better (reception/call quality/etc).

Does anyone have any suggestions and is it a risky process? Would I need to reflash my rom & will I lose all my settings unless I do a NAND backup/restore?

Thanks,

brezzo
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Flashing BB will erase the user space so you'll have to restore a Nandroid Backup after. It takes 10 min maximum, not very hard.

If you're using CM7 a Nandroid Backup is correct, as it uses standard ext4 format for partitions. And then you'll have exactly the same phone but with a new baseband, last thing is to install matching RIL with GetRIL market app, only a matter of seconds.

I can't give any advice on which BB to flash as is it very variable among people... The gold rule is that if your sound during call is good, your network accesses are good, no need to change.

CM7 works with any BB it's just a matter of opinion. Many users seem to have latest 0823 BB, but some use an old Froyo BB as well...
[LG Optimus 2x] brezzo:
Thanks mate, I currently have 405 and I have no idea if it's froyo or not, but I think it is. It seems to work fine so I don't think I'll go through the hassle of changing.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
yes 405 is froyo. maybe you should check this link

[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
i have got this app on your recommendation and it indeed says my RIL doesnt match by baseband. If i click the button within the app for download and install new RIL will this wipe all my data? or will it just replace the RIL??

many thanks

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I see that the rom is listed as 2.x.x, can I run this under 2.3.3?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
What I'm trying to say is, I see gb roms listed as 2.3.3, 2.3.4 etc.

I'm on 2.3.3 but I'd like to try miui but its listed as 2.3.5 (I believe) can I flash this over my 2.3.3 serendipity rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
Maybe, But i would NOT.

U can always just Wipe/Factory...wipe Cach and delvik and flash the rom get the bootloop and flash again. It should work.

but other will say be safe return to stock and go from there. either way you CAN get MiUi on your phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
If I revert back to stock that would place me back on froyo, so wouldn't I need to flash gb in order to flash miui?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
No i was only saying that if you were trying NOT to go back to stock.....Miui will flash a kernel over the stock one. and sometimes Bootloops(does for me 90% of the time) then u just pull the batt and hold the three finger recovery pose....and reflash.

then you should be good.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
Cool, so ill just flash over what I've got and see what happens. 2 more questions than I'm done, what's the fix for getting recovery mode to work on miui, and what is your opinion on the rom? I tried it a few weeks ago, the big thing I didn't care for was not having an app drawer, I know I can make folders but I just prefer the drawer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
i think you can get an app drawer on Miui if you use a Launcher.

i like it, more than Cm7 for now......i dont mind the querks, and feel comfy enough with my phone that i can get around those.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I've used infused froyo and gb, and now I'm running serendipity. All of them are ok but the GPS and music controls on serendipity are real bad. But can you tell me how to get recovery mode to work right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:

hi,

i know java and i want to learn how to develop for android, i know that the best way is just to start writing little apps from tutorials. But i want to study the best way to develop with thoughts about battery life, background apps and etc. So i think that a good book will do the job.

What is the best book you can recommend about these issues (i want new book that talks about android 2.2+)?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batting1000:
If it supports your phone, it will be an over the air update when its released sometime next month.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
You can buy at a stand :D

But Desire won't get any updates, only custom ROM (hopefully).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
You probably own an HTC Desire since you posted this question here... then you'll have to wait just like the rest of us for our awesome developers to port the ROM over. :D

We are not gonna get any over the air update since HTC ended their support for our device already.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well, 20 Months old.

Where does it say they are obliged to update your phone's software forever? If you think about it, not many non-android phones have support for software above and beyond this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6chrisp:
Well it released Feb last year, but I agree that HTC really messed up with the Gingerbread update, Desire owners deserved that one done properly.

As for ICS, can't really expect HTC to support the Desire that far... it'd be the third major update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Care to explain how it wasn't done properly?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
What drugs you're smoking?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6chrisp:
Because it wasn't released as a normal, OTA update. Instead, HTC released a very late, buggy version via their website, and so your average desire owner probably doesn't even know a GB update exists.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
That's because with OTA they couldn't delete content from system. And it ain't more buggy than FroYo, in fact it's less buggy than FroYo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6chrisp:
Sure, it's less buggy than froyo, but you would expect that, really. Some of the bugs that I really thought would be addressed were still present.

And you can't deny that when a manufacturer releases an update that has warnings and disclaimers on it, it hasn't been done quite as smoothly as Samsung/Apple.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
Because of memory constraints (duh!).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoaamro:
No chance of ics on HTC desire unless ported thru custom Rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
If HTC will remove gapps, then it will be easily possible, even if with old Sense.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsuperhero:
Rooted and get an custom ROM will give you ice cream earlier. Forget HTC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 777ace:
Doubt very much if we will see ICS on Desire...

ICS is optimised for dual-core and also features virtual keys. There is already speculation on the Sensation boards whether they will see the update, due that device using soft keys.

I imagine HTC will tweak ICS to run on Sensation, but can't see them adapting to Desire. Too many deficiencies to be addressed.

Hoping our awesome devs will be able to at least port various bits and pieces from Android 4.0 for us to enjoy, though!! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
Well we will probably, just that we won't see it from HTC as they dropped support for Desire.

Because ICS will essentially work with any phones that can run Gingerbread (not just dual-core). And apparently ICS checks if your device have hardware keys or not, if there is, they will not display the virtual keys. And i can't really see Google being so stupid to only restrict ICS to phones without hardware keys as there are essentially no other phones besides the galaxy nexus that do not have hardware keys.

Also, we already have a port of ICS SDK, here. Its not usable or perfect, but at least it proves that the Desire can run ICS.

Yeah, but it has been observed that in most of the cases source code doesn't help. I.e GB kernel, however snq and bananacakes are struggling hard and most of the time they get success but there is a big ratio of failure too.you can take out ratio of users who are having problems in each kernel's thread.bootloop, freezes,fast battery drain,camera and flash synch problem and lags are the top most issues having more than 50% users.

You can also check the saga port thread that is stuck due to some libraries, however two senior developer tried their best to port but no success.

I am not disappointing any current or future rom development, but this is the reality that we don't have more knowledge then the Creator (htc).

But I still hope that after the code release we can hope for the best.

Not wholly true. Those kernels are overclocked/undervolted. That's when issues surface. Try the non-overclocked, non-undervolted kernels we compiled from source.. Never had freezes/random reboots (had them in one ROM version due to some bad libs).

TWlauncher.apk: TouchWizGTG_New_Dock_Colored_Icons_All_Variations.zip

Custom keyboard: HTC_IME_themed_by_gIMpSta.apk

above is what I have done to my phone so far.

need for a different camera after experiencing todays issues. dont know if any of you FABULOUS developers have considered the following camera issue but this is what I realized today & am now searching for solution camera.

when recording footage with phone camera and you need to [pause] for a period, the camera display stays on and helps run battery down. Need to have display go to black after 20 seconds after pausing and returning to displaying image after you press the power button to aid in saving battery power (stupid lock button in this case).

OR be able to hit the power button yourself after pausing recording mode to make display go off until you press power button again to turn on display again.

I tried to film kids at the county fair and needed the pause feature alot and to also conserve battery. pressing the power button just [locks] it....

so I tried pressing home screen after pausing and then pressing the power button to turn off display but then the recording session I had paused would be gone.

Then I tried pausing the recording session and just turning and holding camera lens to my chest thus blocking any light, therefore the screen would be black (dont know if this would effect battery consumption). The problem with that was that before I could press the pause button off to continue to record again the stupid camera would "time out" and then what I had recorded up to then in that segment would be gone yet again..

so... to recap my camera needs. I would like to flash an update that would take away the camera time-out period when pausing, and disable the "LOCK" feature and make that button the display on/off button while NOT turning off the app. and maybe even, if the camera is in [pause mode] and you press the back button a window will pop up asking if intention is to turn off display to save battery while in pause mode or to close camera app.

it may be a placebo effect but I swear the display shows photos and footage

MUCH more brilliant and clear with the PWGB2.0 beta3 ROM...

I love this PWGB ROM....

try it if you havent yet. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.

HOPE SOMEONE COMES THRU.
