i even system restore my phone and still not working... i have no mobile internet for 3 days already...:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will.m:
Change your APN.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vilhomer:
To what? I tried

epc.tmobile.com

wap.voicestream.com

This 2 use to work for me since 4 years ago while using w960 to x1 to x10...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalundone:
I haven't had any issues w/ t-zones on my x10i. It's still working for me now. It's a stupid suggestion... but might data be turned off? I think data can be turned off in stock GB...

You forgot about internet2.voicestream.com ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff52:
I am new to android , being a WM ex-pat, so forgive my ignorance. Had this new phone a couple of weeks now and have encountered a big problem with it. At first it seemed fine, but after a week it ran out of internal sd memory, despite only having 250mb worth of stuff on it, the1.7 gb was full.

Cut a long ..etc. Seems sd/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache/hires-image-cache ,is the culprit.

Every time media scanner runs it fills this cache folder with DUPLICATES (I suspect) of what has already been scanned, instead of adding only new stuff.

consequently the internal sd memory fills in less than a day.

I figured that rooting was the answer, so have successfully rooted, (with help of this forum, ) and tried using autostarts to disable media scanning , but , of course that means I cant access any media without it running. Since i havent been able to find an answer to this anywhere else, wonder if someone could tell me how to

sort this problem,?? (as its driving me nuts!!) Thanks folks.:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinaxujun:
sorry,don'know why
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distan7:
I don,t know why but since you know how to root then maybe this can help :

1. Install Titanium Backup from Market, the free version is suficient for the task. From backup/restore tab above, find "Gallery". Tap on it then select freeze. This means your Gallery app is still intact but won't run anymore.

2. Delete your culprit cache :)

3. Now as an alternative to Gallery app, you can use QuickPic from market.

Well, hope this solves your issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff52:
Thanks Distan7, - Took your advice and it done the trick!! (so far at least!)- (Had to get Tb full tho, as lite doesnt allow freezing!) This method beats my recent solution, hands down, which was to use prog called "gallery lock" to hide media from m.scanner, but its a long winded pain to use.! Tianium backup is a brilliant app! Many thanks for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distan7:
You're welcome mate, sorry I forgot that you need TB full to freeze apps. You could backup then uninstall Gallery using TB free, but I fear something bad might happen. Anyway TB is a great app with lots of useful features.

Hope the trick lasts :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentStrider:
Hi a golden rule, as long your phone is rooted, a smart idea is that if you have TB and want to unistall a system app make sure at least to back it up before you unistall it!:)

Nothing is true....everything is permitted...

the xperia arc white housing appear in ebay lol

just ordered one and see how it looks like lol

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/White-Full-H..._trkparms=algo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63

updated: the housing arrived, gonna post pictures after i exchange it lol(can't wait XD)
[Xperia Arc Accessories] batman_112:
I wanted to order one but, I am afraid I won't be able to change it properly and screw up my phone! Is there any video/picture guide on how to change the housing on the arc? :)
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
I tried to replace the blue housing to silver before. There's pda file about how to change it properly. In my experience, the hardest part is how to remove the lcd from the housing(need a special tool for it), the rest is actually pretty easy.

Oh here's the instruction and pdf

[Xperia Arc Accessories] inconn:
So you managed to replace it?

I need to change the front buttons, how hard/dangerous would that be be?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
i already did it once before, so it shouldn't be too hard for me. For the LCD part, because the entire lcd is glued with the housing, it takes a bit skills to remove it.

For the front buttons: you need to separate cover rear and the front housing, then remove the sub pba. After that you can replace the front button. As long as you follow the instruction from the pdf, then it shouldn't be too hard(in my experience).
[Xperia Arc Accessories] TestamenT:
I'm very interested in it, please can you upload some pics when you'll receive it? :)
[Xperia Arc Accessories] ToanDC:
wow, original?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
well ya, that's what the seller said. It will takes times to ship, i will post some pics when it arrives.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] ToanDC:
I'm waiting! I have never heard about this housing
[Xperia Arc Accessories] --Rob--:
Wow, thats what Im looking for cause my camera has a scratch.... Cool

*edit*

In the working instructions it says, that two peaces cant be reused (ant gps flex & audio jack). Thats true? no way to remove it undamaged??
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
oh, that 2 peaces i can actually reuse it after for some reason without any problem.

(Maybe it said the mid housing can't be reuse because it use tape to stick both peaces on the housing, so once it removed from the (old) housing, the tape on the old housing can't be reuse because it is not sticky anymore.

Still waiting for the housing, hopefully it will arrive soon....( i hate canada custom, always take forever....)
[Xperia Arc Accessories] --Rob--:
I bought it from a German store so it will hopefully arrive today or tomorrow. I take some pics of the"not reuseable" parts.

Wohoo, I will not have a scratch at my camera.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] migsguerra:
for me still waiting 7 more to go ... i ordered in ebay in china .....:D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
updated: white housing arrived, posting picture now XD
[Xperia Arc Accessories] xperiax10.awesome:
any VIDEO TUTORIAL guys??

I am afraid about LCD panel.. :(
[Xperia Arc Accessories] roothing:
that look nice!
[Xperia Arc Accessories] castleman:
It was difficult to install or not?

Thx
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Sogat:
Any pictures?

Btw.. do you HAVE to use a special to remove LCD panel?

If so, where do you get it?

Thankss
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
yes you need special tool to remove LCD panel. I bought the tool from dollar shop(suction cup) and it works well lol.(However, you still need to find a way to hold ur housing while you remove the lcd panel.)
[Xperia Arc Accessories] ZyxeLa:
****in awesome :) I want this one too
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Sogat:
can you post pictures?

How did you hold your housing while removing the LCD panel?

Also... I'm Rogers too.. did you try to sending to Sony Repair centre to ask for a replacement for white housing?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
just find book or box or wtever that won't harm ur phone to hold, it is pretty much the same idea of the special tool from the instruction. The major part is how to remove the panel, you have to pull from the bottom part of panel.(you can't pull too hard cause u will destroy the panel, and you cant pull all the way up too)

Sorry i can't post picture ..... my lady saw my white arc and she.....took it =.= i will post it when i have chance to get my arc back ...

**Oh actually i did ask sony repair centre about the housing, they did reply me that they dont have white housing.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Sogat:
Ok thanks..

I tried calling some local phone repair stores in Toronto.. they said they'll see if they can order a white housing.... I dont know.. but somehow they can order from SE themselves?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] athris:
nah i dun think they order from SE, it is more like they order from the manufacturer

[Xperia Arc Accessories] Retrosid:
Can you guys find any store that ships the white housing wordwide? I want to buy it, tho the first e-bay link wont ship in my country :/
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Nirak:
afaics this one ships to Greece:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Housing-Bat...3?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c0940545#shId
[Xperia Arc Accessories] --Rob--:
Sure :)

http://www.ebay.de/itm/400259600206...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2446wt_1139

There I bought the middle Cover.

Or use their store:

http://www.phf-shop.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=lt15&x=0&y=0

I wasn't able to take pics of the "not reuseable parts", but the Audio Jack and the GPS ant are connected to the housing via double sided sticky tape. So, if you don't use brute force, you can use them again.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] TestamenT:
thank you! :D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] lawgone:
Waaahhh beautiful. I envy you. :(

@Nirak

Thanks for this link. I'm very close to temptation now.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] klaus21:
So if i get the cover on ebay, can i just dissemble the phone as in the tutorial or do i need the middle part, too because of "not resusable" parts? Thanks for help and advice!
[Xperia Arc Accessories] MclarensARC:
i like that color for my Xperia ARC :D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Albert3650:
I like too, my McLarens friend:D:D

But as you said on other spanish forums, I'd be really afraid about leaving a lot of dust inside...

But I really love white housing...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Luhccas-X10:
The display and touch digitizer are glued.

You'll not leave any dust in.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Albert3650:
Didn't know that point...

Interesting...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mustafa123sayim:
i have a XPERIA ARC WHITE LIMITED EDITION
[Xperia Arc Accessories] 1235sam:
looks tempting ! How is the fit and finish of the housing available on ebay ?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] ndrs:
It looks awesome. Whenever my current casing will show the slightest wear, i will order it. Cool!
[Xperia Arc Accessories] terra-nova:
wow, I like it. Awesime look, but I'm scared to damage my arc. Any to do video?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] migsguerra:
@all

guys if u have a case of ARC be carefull to select repair shop ,or better to go in SE service center to replace the full housing ,cause mine got broken LCD :mad: and im waiting for 1week to replace the new one :mad: seriously im miss my white ARC :(
[Xperia Arc Accessories] xander1993:
so if you went to SE would they have a housing of the arc?or you will have to find the housing for yourself?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] migsguerra:
@ Xander

u need to bring your own housing ...:D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] xander1993:
whoa!by the way thanks!but have you tried it?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] zed011:
I don't think it is worth the risk of breaking the screen to use a new case. If my screen was already broken then I would try .
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Retrosid:
I so want to buy it right now, since I have scratched the back cover accidentally, plus I want to fix the front housing aswell.

The thing is, I found this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOLdUtuZYiE

The back plastic looks piece of cake to be removed, but what about the front? I gotta remove all the hardware to replace the front plastic? If yes, i rather get it on a technician to not brake my phone :/
[Xperia Arc Accessories] xander1993:
this is so sad for us xperia users.....sony (ericsson) didnt have a side support like lcd,hardware buttons specially the housing or the whole casing..
[Xperia Arc Accessories] migsguerra:
i knw they never use a special tools to take it off the LCD i know that things ,cause mine ,i got broken LCD in repair shope just to replace full housing then,i got replced LCD :( .only for SE shope having that special tools to remove that LCD:D sorry for my bad English
[Xperia Arc Accessories] xander1993:
Yes they have the tools but the thing is they dont have or dont sell housing,cause recently i have called them theyre saying they dont have.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] migsguerra:
@xander

hehehe u need to order in Ebay :p
[Xperia Arc Accessories] crazyman_dn:
I very like the white case for my arc
[Xperia Arc Accessories] zanndoth:
Actually they do have housing. Just not for sale. The housing that they have are meant for replacement. Meaning, if you want to change your current housing, they can do it for you. But only the exact same one you're using. They don't allow you to change to a different color housing. Of course you still have to pay for the new housing.

I just send my old xperia arc 2 weeks ago to get the housing replace with a new one. And i have to wait 3/4 weeks for the housing to be shipped over. And I'm still waiting. lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kck17288:
Is there any other messaging app besides the stock one that works with the sidekick's LED's? I enjoy using go sms and handcent because I can set individual custom ringtone, but they don't work with the LED notifications.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cmzeunges:
?? I know this is a old post, but I must say that handcent is God-sent! The leds wouldn't work right at all for me, but handcent works wonderfully. Gosms doesn't work quite as well. Now, I remove the system msg app with tb, and handcent is my only msg system on the phone. Works better than ever.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kck17288:
Thanks cmzeunges, that's actually what I've already done!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jester6193:
Sad to see no one really in these forums anymore... oh well... I was wondering if anyone has found a messenger app that the LED actually works. Doubtful, I know, but I wanted to try!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
handcent worked for me, but I'm using Go SMS now because of some other odd issues due to me goofing around with removing stuff from the ROM (Glorious Overdose V1).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
I really like GoSMS, a lot more than the stock messaging but I don't use it because the LEDs.. I really need those too. But thanks to this thread I tried handcent and thats pretty good too and it does work with the LEDs! better than stock.. you just have to choose colors that we actually have on the sidekick, like red or blue.. they dont have the purple option. theres also a slight glitch that when you're charging the power led blinks along with the notification led if u get a message..Not a big deal tho, I like how customizable it is.
[HTC Rezound] Cadillac Kid:
Still undecided on if I'm keeping the Rz and may want the nexus. Just might want something different and drool over super AMOLED, nothing to do with root or anything.

Anyways, if I return it within the 14 days, does everything go back to how it was before I bought it? As in does my two year contract get put back to the old date and my upgrade is back in the system available to use right away?

I know there is a $35 restocking fee. Is there any lame fine print? As long as everything is still in new condition I should be good to go right?

Sent from my rz
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
should be fine. Did that with the iphone 4. Wife just had to have it, didn't like it, so took it back after 3 days and did a straight exchange for the thunderbolt. Didn't even pay a restocking fee because I told them I would just go online and get the Tbolt on amazon for 100 bucks (was 250 in store). They gave it to me straight exchange, then waived the fee.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah you return it and get your ne2 or whatever back.
[HTC Rezound] JOHNGAETANO:
What if I bought a Razr 3 days ago, swap for a Rezound, then decide on the Galaxy Nexus? Can I do that?
[HTC Rezound] Berzerker7:
You can only return one phone per line upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
The NE2 does not come back, but the upgrade does. You might be able to get it back by a call to CS, but it will not come back automatically. Also, if you used an annual upgrade, it will not be eligible until the actual upgrade date. A return exchange on the other hand you would still have the NE2 and on an annual upgrade you would still get the promo price.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Oops I meant upgrade not ne2 lol sorry I'm beat! However, if your rep is really nice and wants to help you out, he can get you a ne2 back lol..its a lot of jumping through hoops but eh
[HTC Rezound] innov8ion:
If you bought the phone in a Verizon corporate store from Nov 15th to Dec 28th, you have until Jan 9th to exchange it. I bought a Rezound because I had a Nexus One and was tired of waiting for the Galaxy Nexus. I'll just exchange my Rezound for the Galaxy Nexus when it's out which is looking like Dec 8th.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/1...return-phones-purchased-starting-november-15/
[HTC Rezound] Cadillac Kid:
I bought mine launch day so I only get two Weeks....I'll go back to my Dinc for a week till the nexus gets here.
[HTC Rezound] Ferradinho:
Like other posters said you can exchange a device once and if you exchange it will transfer over the NE2 credit if there is one. If you purchase it now you will have through the 9th of January to exchange it. Most stores will not waive the restocking fee without a lot of time and complaining. Little trick to get by this is to call into customer care before you go into the store, complain about the restocking fee and get them to ok it and remark the account. If they put a note in the account they will waive it in the store.
[HTC Rezound] Panzerapple:
I just got this phone also gf was sick of my bb bold told the rep i needed a phone until the nexus came out. He was not pleased it seems like hardware is decent but after coming from a rooted charge the software is a little hard to get used too. Oh well if big red will not give out any info they will have a bunch of refurb phones
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mewshi:
I found something that may be of some use to people trying to get ad-hoc wifi working.

If you're rooted, go to /etc/wifi (using something like Root Explorer). Mount it as read/write, and take a look at the file tiwlan.ini in a text editor. Apparently, other devices, changing the value "WiFiAdhoc" to 1 (instead of 0), enables Ad-Hoc connections on the device. If someone wants to give it a shot and report back? :)

Just thought I'd toss this out.

Update: I remembered I can make an ad-hoc point and tested it. This does not enable ad-hoc connections, at least not on its own.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NatTheCat:
Morning all, I received my nexus today and wow its fantastic. After getting setup and yada yada I noticed that when I go to take a picture in the dark or view a black image I get a strange black line about 1inch down from the top of the screen all the way across and 1inch Inc vertically inwards from the right side of the screen all the way down. I'm not too sure how to take a screen shot to show you guys/gals. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the pen tile or I've got a dodgy handset. Apart from that the phone is great.

Thanks Nathan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
To take a screenshot, hold down the Power button and the volume-down button at the same time.

If you take the screenshot and look at it on another phone/computer and the line isn't there, it's in the screen. Weird that it would only show up when taking a picture or looking at a black image...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:

can you explain us better what this problem is please?

is it a problem of the screen or a software one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allpalm:
Does it do this with every picture? I have seen crap digital cameras do that when bright light relects off of the sun.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NatTheCat:
I have tried to take a picture of the black screen with my gs2 but it won't pick it up at all. Its worse than I thought after i examined it. Its like scattered dots across the majority of the screen. Also when the brightness is set lower the screen goes purple. No true blacks

Edit: Im comparing the xda app from my gs2 and the whites are more cream. I Must have a bad handset as there is no way this is normal.

Its only on a black image I could live with it but after a lot of trouble with my GS2 I'm not letting Samsung win the battle this time. Back to P4U I go.

Can somebody please do me a huge favour and check their nexus for the same fault. I'm pretty sure its not software issue but saves a trip if it is.
