[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abaddon:
my xperia play suddenly got bricked I think? :(

what happened was I get FC on some apps due to my brother deleted some system files :( couldn't do a factory reset the phone via settings

So I decided to try f/w R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic and another R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE. my phone was previously on build .368 btw.

it's bootloader is unlocked of course.

It's the first time this happened to me.all I see now is SE logo then a exclamation mark with traingular logo and a phone below it. :(

trying to re-flash f/w's again and again. my flashing time would take up to 30mins. why?when flashtool is flashing userdata.sin on every firmware I try. it takes forever. tried without wiping, it boots up to the splashscreen and then shuts off.

EDIT:it still will not start, all I get is 2-4 seconds of it trying to boot, the logotype and a triangle with an exclamation mark next to a pticture of a phone

I tried with a different SIM-card and a different SD-card

when I plug a usb cable it goes automatically to flash mode - with green led then SE logo - exclamation mark - black screen - power off OR sometimes after the SE boot animation. it tried to boot for maybe 2mins. then reboots! :(

tried the OTA BRICKED FIX AND STILL NO DICE. Im always stuck on boot animation. not boot screen or sometimes it boots up but I get low on space on my notification and FC FC FC everywhere

please I need help

sorry for my bad english

Here on h3g planet we have plenty of gb download via 3g so i don't understand this limit of 'large apps' which are downloadable via wifi connection.

Any solution ?

[Omnia 7 General] chicagolive:
That is not a uniquely WP problem but alot of the OS's do that from how I understand it is a limitation they put on depending due to the fact not everwhere does everybody have fast connection and high data limits, and I don't think developers will be wasting time for country provider pacific Apps. :)
[Omnia 7 General] OndraSter:
At least they should add "ignore" button and let it download through 3G/HSDPA. They did that in videos uploading dialog, so why not in marketplace? I am fine with downloading 100MB over HSDPA sometimes so why not.

[Verizon Droid Charge] executor485:
First off, I have done some google searches and searches on the forum for this question but all I could really find was people having issues with bluetooth and Pandora.

My question: Is there any way to open an app, namely Pandora, on a bluetooth connect event? I know that Pandora, if already open and playing, will pause for phone calls and when the bluetooth connection is lost. Headphones being plugged in can trigger the music player to open. So there must be a way to see the bluetooth connection event and start Pandora. Or maybe it already does this and I just havent figured it out?

TIA

Tasker can do it. You have to be willing to pay for the app, and you have to be willing to invest some time learning how to use it well, but it's the gold standard in Android automation. There is a one week trial available on their website if you want a try before you buy.

Hello community.

Not sure if some of you know this or not but our nice trusty Galaxy S 2 is able to take screenshots right out of the box. Its simple

1 - Press and hold down the Home Key

2 - While Holding down "Home", Immediatly Press the Power Button .

3- Find your screen shots in the gallery under "Screen Capture"

Hope this helps

Does anyone Find that the carousel feature on sense 3.0 isn't sensitive enough? HTC came into work to demo the latest phones and I realized how easy its intended to be to get into this mode. I want to try work on a fix but I'm not sure where to start. The first thing to work out is if just controlled in the Rosie APK or could it be to do with screen sensitivity controled in another file.

If anyone has any knowlage about this it would be greatly appreciated

I'll have a look at this in the morning. I intended this to be more of a development thread as I intend to be able to work this into something to include in a rom. would be a good addition to the dev forums. Its so much easer to use on devices like the evo 3d and sensation xl, We should be able to change this with a bit of knowledge about the coding
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffa:
Why?

Its only 5 screens, and all it does is spin you back to the same screen you were on. I don't want mine more senstive than it is really, otherwise it will be kicking off at random when I don't need it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 314:
Sense 3.5 and Sensation based roms such as Virtuous Unity 2.39 seem to have much more sensitive carousels (1 full screen slide = spin). Its just the official HTC RUU 3.06.405.1 roms such as Revolution that have really difficult to spin carousels.

I'm pretty used to using the carousel to spin 3-4 screens, even though its probably slower... (But at least its just a full swipe and a tap, instead of 4 half slides)

Its 7, and even on sensitive roms such as VU and sense 3.5 roms, its pretty difficult to activate without trying as you have to slide around 75% of the screen somewhat quickly.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Haven't tried it but some seem to think it is pretty nice. From the shots I have seen it is very similar to Google Music (beta).

Okay so it turns out that after my screen cracked that my warranty is now VOID :mad:. Now I would have to pay Asus to fix my cracked screen. I don't know what the cost of repair is so can someone that has had this happen to them before please tell me what would be the best way to take care of this. I would have just dealt with the crack but over half of the screen is unresponsive so I basically have to do something.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Wait till some developers port them to i777 (if ever). Otherwise, you may wind up with screwed up capacitive buttons, a modem that doesn't work, and maybe even different bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It can be done - designgears' Perception proves this.

What I do know - it won't work with Odin-flashable ROMs like Litening. I tried flashing Litening's system image once and it didn't even boot.

For a CWM-flashable package, at the very least you would need to:

1) Replace the kernel with one for our device, or remove it from the package and the updater-script lines that flash it

2) Remove or replace the modem and updater-script lines that flash it

3) REMOVE ANY BOOTLOADERS FROM THE PACKAGE AND UPDATER-SCRIPT OR YOU WILL LIKELY BRICK.

If you do the above, it might work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
see, the difference there is that the desire hd and the inspire are identical aside from the audio differences, which was an easy flash

the international galaxy s2 and the att galaxy s2 are different in more ways than one. the main difference being the capacitive/hardware button layouts.

its not like the inspire was. dont go flashing random crap willy nilly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Maybe a script can be made to easily port from the international to ours. Designgears has done it already I wonder what it took to port. They've got a ton of available roms already and some are themed quite nicely!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Unfortunately, there is the potential for not always recognizing automatically whether a bootloader is present. It's easy enough to check for Sbl.bin and nuke it - but what if the ROM author used a slightly different name? Also, what happens if the updater-script tries to flash a file that's not there? It might write just enough to corrupt the bootloader.

Simply put, unlike Hellraiser, it can't be done automatically since people sometimes include bootloaders.

Also even after replacing modem/kernel, it looks like DG had to do some more "down and dirty" customizations involving the noise reduction controls to get call quality to be decent. Smali mods tend to be nonportable/nonautomatable...
