Did you use the latest version of box, from the market?, and log into box.net before rebooting your phone, then reboot the phone, and sign back into box?

The reboot after editing your build.prop will let box.net think you have an LG phone.

It does work, got it working on 2 xperia play's, and a ZTE Blade.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dougiefresh36:
I got it! the problem I was just rebooting the phone from the power menu, so instead I completely shut off the phone and then turned back on and got the notification saying i got the 50GB when I signed in. Thanks a lot for all the help.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rabe3ab:
Great,

they beat the 25 GB of skydrive

with ES file manager integration, you can stream music and files whenever you want
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dyelon:
Yeah what's the best way to stream music from the box.com app? What does the ES fIle manager allow for?

I'm trying to make the most out of this 50gb, and putting all my music on there and being able to stream it thru wifi or 3g would be doing just that...

thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I've entered Box today and I got the 50 GB. It will come handy for certain purposes...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aitmanga:
It's official

It's finally official: Android Community

I logged in a few minutes ago and got my 50 GB
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
Yeah I did too. However, there is 1 important detail you need to be aware of.

"What is the file upload limit?

Normally free Box Personal accounts have a 25MB upload limit, but we’re bumping it up to 100MB for this promotion in order to help you get the most out of your 50GB of storage. With a 100MB upload limit, you’ll be able to easily save pictures, presentations, audio files and documents to the cloud."

So as long as your files are 100 MB or smaller, you're OK. But forget about backing up a Nandroid to your Box account. (I just found that out, LOL)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Not a big issue: files can be split in pieces and downloaded through a good download manager. Megaupload used to reward loyalty points only for files under 100 MB, so people know the drill.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] charm1718:
I uploaded music to my storage but I can't play the music from the box.net app. I can only play it from the website. Can anyone else play music via the app?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] awoken:
How about that, i was about to do this trick and logged into box first.

Guess what it said: You have succesfully upgraded to 50GB with your SONY ERICSSON device !! guess that sony ericsson deal went live !

Edit: yep its official http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...ason-xperia™-is-giving-you-the-gift-of-cloud/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
I'd like to know more about that, but I think it's a moot point because don't you HAVE to use Box's download manager?

Regardless, this is a great deal for backing up photos, music, documents, that sort of thing, which is what they probably expect the average person to be doing. I was just looking for a way to back up a Rooted Stock Nandroid of my phone so that if I ran into problems and my sd card got wiped, I'd still be able to get to it.

FYI - Amazon accounts get 5 GB free and their file size limit is 2 GB. Drop Box file size limit is 300 MB. So if you do need cloud storage with bigger file size, those are some other good options.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IDisposable:
Just did this now on my SGSS4G. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] abw0046:
UPDATE! FREE 50gig for all users- NO BUILD.prop edits.

Hey, they have a new promotion going on. You log into Box from ANY android device (tablet or phone) and your account (preexisting or new) is upgraded to 50gig.

For my buddies that have iPhone i just let them log in from my phone and bam!

"Congratulations, Your account has be upgraded to 50Gig"

The offer ends March 23.

And I guess after that we can go back to build.prop edits.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SirRudolph:
Yep, live on any xperia handset now. Says ended december 31 2012 though. So thats this year .-.?

Gonna try..

Yep, upgraded to 50gb storage :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] absolutal:
Box.com 50gb

It seems that they updated this offer until march 23rd 2012! I did it a few days ago and the 50gb for life is simply crazy!

[Kindle Fire General] stiffmast3r:

I've found there's quite a few apps unavailable on the market when on my Kindle. I usually install to my phone, pull them off, upload to dropbox then download/install on the KF.

I followed the guide pretty everything but it didn't work out for me. The program updates all information in build.proc but not for the IMEI number. The pop up windows shows my SN, no MAC address and IMEI 00-SN, but after the adb it reboots and I found the IMEI still remains blank, XDA app still FC. Tried many times no luck. Please help.
[Kindle Fire General] dj8899:
Problem solved by updating the JAVA, realized the issue after reading the original OP carefully. Thanks the guide, it's wonderful.
[Kindle Fire General] skullunit:
I had the same problem with the XDA app Force Closing on my Rooted Kindle Fire, still on the stock ROM. Sounds like the easy fix is just to purchase the premium which I intended to do but had wanted to check out the free app first. If you guys say premium is working good then I'm going to get it. :D

How do I access the browser bookmark?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
Long-press the backbutton and swipe to two times to the right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Love_Velvet:
You can also click on the tab button next to the address bar. The bookmarks button is now in the same place (near top right) on the tab window that has just appeared.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Oh right, I think I lost that button if I enable Quick Control.

Then i must use the long press of the back button.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] aliaswave:
I received the update yesterday. 4G connection is better but I'm still only getting 2 bars. I live 500m from tower and the other tower is 800m or so. Camera works better and hissing is gone. However the LG and Thunderbolt both got full bars even though they weren't working as they should and Verizon swapped for the Bionic and this is my Second Bionic.

Strange thing is when I'm talking on the phone I get full 4G bars but off the phone I get 1-2 bars. Speeds are fine and when I run Open Signal it shows 86% signal strength and -69 to -71 dBm and 21asu.

Called Verizon and they turned me over to Motorola and they said the update hasn't been released yet but what up date did I get then?

It shows 5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.

So is my bar graph off or is there something else going on?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
Was it pushed to your phone or did you do it manually?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] aliaswave:
OTA was avaible for download this morning so i installed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Bars really mean nothing for 4g. Two bars is just as strong as four.

I was showing usually 3-4 bars bars before the update and had sporadic speeds when tested. Now I'm 2-3 bars and stable.

I wouldn't stress. Does your phone run fine? You said your signal strength was the same. Don't worry.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] aliaswave:
Ok thanks. Phone has been better since up date and its the only thing that i noticed.
[Kindle Fire General] duramas:
Here are some of the problems I've run into:

No shell access unless I'm in CWR.

Can't flash an update.zip, fails to mount the sdcard.

Can't restore to stock using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378063 just flashes update failed on the screen for a split second.

Can't flash a system.img, too large, at least the one I was sent in a PM.

If I reboot, anything I pushed is wiped by time I'm back in recovery.

If I try to run zergrush it says "/sbin/sh: ./zergRush: not found"

Cannot run idme bootmode from recovery, I can do it in fastboot though with a factory cable:

# idme bootmode 0x5001

idme bootmode 0x5001

/sbin/sh: idme: not found

ATM I have CWR and FireFireFire installed.

I originally messed up my "/system/bin" and "/system/framework" permissions by merging a folder over them. I went and changed the permissions back to what they were and root explorer force closed.

When I would try to launch apps it would just give a force close error with some random symbols text, went to shutdown and wouldn't allow me to press shutdown, it was just a grey button with no action, So I hard rebooted.

My KF did not boot back into Android the screen with "Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear App storage..." etc came up and I figured eh I'll just have to reroot. It wiped, lost my root, lost shell access, except for the first few seconds when booting up, but it would loop back to that screen and I would have no access.

Now I have a factory cable and do not know how to fix my problem.

This guy seems to have a similar problem to me from "[HOW TO] Unbricking/Restoring your Kindle Fire" thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20145762&postcount=308

Our problem seems to be beyond the scope of that thread where our device is essentially wiped with no way to fix our devices except with outside files.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
Power off completely, plug factory cable into computer then kf. Doing so will automatically start the device, but with the factory cable it will be in fastboot
[Kindle Fire General] duramas:
I Know how to get into fastboot, I was fully stock and rooted before my brick. I added CWR and FFF afterwards using fastboot.

I don't have a small enough system.img to flash, assuming that would fix my problem.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
Whoops I had just woken up from a nap and my head wasn't screwed on right

Very strange that you can't mount the sdcard. Are you using my clockwork that I provided in the CM7 rom thread?

Try adb shell

Mount sdcard

And then see if you can install an update?
[Kindle Fire General] duramas:
Gives this error:

[LG Nitro HD] JoTomlin509:
I have a LG Nitro HD running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.5. The bluetooth phone part works as I can make and receive calls with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010), but the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
[LG Nitro HD] JoTomlin509:
It's been about a month and still no solution. Has anyone else come across this problem?
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
I do not have this problem. I have a Pioneer X930BT headunit in my car and my Nitro streams audio over bluetooth (A2DP) to it perfectly as well as phone calls.
[LG Nitro HD] JoTomlin509:
Have you tried streaming Sirius or spotify over bluetooth? I found that the only app on the phone that streams audio to my car correctly is the pre-installed audio app that comes with the phone.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
I can confirm google music and napster stream great over bluetooth. I have not used spotify or sirius for android.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
Are you sure your car supports audio profile?

I stream spotify, tunein radio every day through bluetooth.

Spotify actually pauses when bluetooth connection is lost which is great for getting out of the car. I wish TuneIn would do it.
[LG Nitro HD] Kaiser_Beef:
I have had the same problem with my nitro, it will automatically connect the phone but the media (A2DP) seems to drop automatically after connection. I've found if I manually re-connect to the receiver both will stay connected.

(settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth settings > *tap device name*)

I, like you, use it every time I'm in the car so it's annoying but it's a fix until there is a valid solution like a update or properly built rom.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
In your case I would delete all the phone profiles from the car memory and re pair them. A lot of cars have a seperate a2dp profile for streaming music and if you pair them seperately the car stereo thinks that it needs to be paired only with the cell phone while the phone says that is paired with phone and audio.

It is not a LG Nitro 4g issue. Updates/firmware would not fix it.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
That seems to be your problem JoTomlin and Kaiser. Before I installed my new headunit in my subaru I had tons of issues with my captivate playing music over bluetooth because the car had seperate profiles for A2DP and handsfree. When I got my new headunit which has a single profile containing both A2DP and handsfree it all worked without headache on the captivate and now the nitro. This is a problem with your car stereo. If its anything like my subarus, it would prefer to connect to handsfree and it would have to physically disconnect handsfree to connect A2DP (I would have to manually connect via the bluetooth menu). I solved it by getting a tunelink bluetooth audio receiver so handsfree would connect to the stereo and to the tunelink at the same time. Eventually I got tired of that and bought a new headunit.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Apparently a lot of people have swapped out their factory Kizashi factory head units for something better. But again, you'll want to bug Suzuki about something like this.
[LG Nitro HD] HJZS2K:
FWIW, I can stream Pandora just fine over a VW headunit with factory bluetooth. I do have to sometimes to a reconnect/pair though.
[LG Nitro HD] JoTomlin509:
Has anyone figured out this issue? I stopped using my Nitro for about 5 months and then just recently updated it with 4.0.4, but still have the audio issue. My Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have this issue. It's frustrating because I really like the Nitro. The Bluetooth audio is a huge issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

See under the battery. It should be 11W41(i.e. 2011 Week 41) or later.

It is very unlikely that i'll get to open the box up and inspect it. Is there any way by looking at the box on the outside?

Hi, my battery says 11W28, what is the significance of 11W41 over 11W28?

Thanks

Mark
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pengipete:
It's a code showing when the phone was manufactured - "41" is "newer" than "28". (basically - week numbers in 2011)

For the most part, it makes no real difference - unless there's been a significant hardware revision. In this case, Sony Ericsson recently claimed to have made a hardware change that reduces or removes a known problem with audio interference when using the video camera. That makes "41" and onward phones more desirable and less likely to have that problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saintsimon:
It seems you/people are confusing the problems of the Mini Pro SK17i with the Mini ST15i, which the OP is asking about.

Although superficially similar, the Mini is a different device to the Mini Pro and doesn't have those audio interference problems, weak reception or poor GPS.

To the contrary, the Mini has first class reception in real life (a German magazine said the ST15i has the best 3G reception of any devices they measured so far), a good audio quality and smooth operation.

It has some thermal problems, but the latest Android 2.3.4 takes care of that, some need a recalibration of the touchscreen. Otherwise it is trouble-free and smooth to use, offers a precise touchscreen and a bright display. One has to root it to get rid of the crapware and free up some memory.

All in all, and compared also to my Defy, my Mini (made 11W29) is fast and capable, offers a very good value for the money. It is a more telephony oriented device, for emphasis on surfing a larger, higher resolution screen is a better choice, of course.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rickom:
Thanks for the input guys. I get a feeling this has been discussed to death ,but i have yet to read up a deal of user experiences. How does the battery fare? Does one need to root it to improve the performance? Is there a possibility of swapping the existing battery for a newer higher powered one ?

Cheerss!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pengipete:
You're right - my bad.

It's a bit confusing at times - having a bunch of different phones all lumped together in the same forum sections just because they carry the Xperia name.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saintsimon:
Root is recommended to get rid of the crapware memory occupants (in RAM and ROM), and also to use some practical apps which require root. But performance & user experience are already smooth and fast (in contrast to my Defy), with no annoying lags, I see no need for overclocking at all or even for a modded firmware. This thing is already as capable as bigger phones, with 1GHz and a small screen it is well equipped (flash support included). Overclocking would be a bad idea IMHO, because the heat may already be at its limits sometimes in this compact device.

The battery lasts longer than in my Defy. If you can find a better battery, I don't know. Also, as all 2011 Xperia devices, it will get ICS next year.

Among the other androids in the small smartphone class, the ST15i looks like the most capable. I originally wanted the SK17i, but after following the user's experinces for some months now I decided to get the less troublesome and cheaper device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rickom:
Thread ressurection! My device came in. It is a W30 , not sure if this is prone to any issues?

More importantly, I noticed that most unboxings had replaceable battery covers included in the box; but mine are "missing". If I have a look at the sony website It adds up.

What’s in the box?

Battery EP500 & USB cable

EC450Screen protector ET921

Memory card 2GB

Stereo Headset MH650

I would still like to confirm that some one has not pulled a fast one on me.

Ps: The phone was purchased from carphonewarehouse and not a doggy ebay buyer.

Cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saintsimon:
Don't worry, the number of included back covers or the type of the headsets does vary by country, operator or dealer. There are several kinds of packages, even a "Ladyphone" version, which includes a bracelet. My package contained the MH410 headset with a straigt instead of an angled plug, and no screen protector.

Now, how do you like the little thing?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rickom:
Cheers mate! That takes a load off my mind :)

I am in complete awe of the display. I have not had the chance to take it for a proper spin, so definitely more to follow. Just upgraded to latest android on the device.

Being my first smart phone , i am still finding my feet... I end up launching applications when i am changing panes ; touch the wrong number/alphabet on the keypad etc. The device is incredibly responsive...Oh and i botched up applying the screen protector.... I had to bin it in the end....so looks like i'll need to run out and get a new one :(

The battery does seem to be draining rapidly, but as I understand, it will improve over a couple of cycles... I have put all internet traffic to off at the moment... My data plan has not kicked in yet.

Can you please suggest , without rooting, what can be done to improve performance of the battery?

I have done the following so far

1) Turned Internet traffic off

2) Brightness down to 70%

3) Animations - Some only.

Cheers!

I wanted to know if there are any other accessories which i should probably invest in ? Being my first smart phone, I am not sure on the build quality and how it is going to perform on drop-testing. Personally I'd rather avoid roll-cages for phones , as they add to the size.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ProxyZer0:
It's me again. So i have tested the phone for short time, but the screen feels a bit of too small, even if it says it's same size as x8 i got impression that it is even smaller then x8.

Also is it possible to play games on it like fruit ninja, or with emulator for snes/gba because i would like to complete some old games again :). Thanks in advance
