You need to download superoneclick tool and root your phone.For detailed instructions for this take a look at the web.Then download busybox by stericson from the market and a window asking you to allow/deny will show up.Press install and good luck.In case anything goes wrong you'll need to perform a repair using Sony Ericsson Update Service.Bye bye.

P.S. Next time you have a problem with W8 post it in the X8 section.W8

is a rebranded X8

Hello, I do not have the gt-i9000, but a samsung galaxy player 4.0 witch is almost identical. I was wondering if someone could give me a backup of their settings.apk and settings.odex for development purposes? Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJimaniac:
Pretty please?

The settings.apk and .odex shouldn't have any personal data, so if you could please help, I would appreciate! The development for the galaxy players is pretty small, so your contribution would be most appreciated!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alh.titan:
So I've been hearing a lot of good things about this ROM for us vibrant users.

Nonetheless, there is yet to confirm if the 911 issue is resolved? does anyone know and/or can confirm?

I am really surprised why people would even bother taking the risk of moving around with the 911 functionality.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
I'm an old fart, 58 today, and lived most of my life before 911 existed. It no big deal to me. I have my local police and fire departments numbers on my phone and the same for where my elderly mother lives as I can't get her any help with 911 anyway. I don't see any more need than that. But that's me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alh.titan:
Thanks for the reply.

But I was wondering what about students, working professionals who tend to work away from their area (students studying in different cities) and for individuals who are travelling. You never know when an emergency strikes (kinda like the reason it was defined in the first place)

Sincerely,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrafael:
You should check the developers section for the threads about 911, this has been discussed already, it comes down to not having official samsung source code, everything that the devs have acomplish so far has been thru reverse engineering (very amazing btw) but with out time/money/equipment the devs cant do much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
I was running build 14, tried build 15 and had real trouble with it, recommend trying 14 first or waiting for 16. Haven't tried 911.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
E911 has indeed been fixed in CM7.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11492

As long as the CM9 build doesn't have a custom libaudio for Vibrant, it should work. But, caveat emptor, as always with ROMs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucket19:
So someone who lived most of their lives before seat belts were invented should be able to say that they aren't worried that their car doesn't have seat belts because they were alive for many years before seat belts came out? New safety technology is always going to be coming out. When the next thing comes out every person on the planet will have lived most of their lives before it existed but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be using it.

Having the local police and fire department phone numbers in your phone are not a replacement to 911.

- 911 calls can be made on wireless networks that you are not a subscriber of. You're out of service on T-Mobile, but you can pick up a signal from some small company. They aren't going to allow you to call a standard number but you can call 911. If you have an old phone with no SIM card, you can't call the fire department but you can call 911.

- Your location is sent when you call 911. If you just call the police department, they will not know where you are. Because you are calling from a cell phone you could literally be anywhere. This may not seem important but there are many times when the caller is unsure of his location or is unable to communicate his location to the operator.

- 911 calls are automatically routed/transferred to the correct answering point. If you're out of town, you don't want to call your hometown fire department. Calling 911 assures you will always be connect to the correct people.

There are also other advantages but I don't really understand them well enough to explain them, but I do know that they provide many advantages over simply dialing the police department. There is a reason that the government has many laws regarding the 911 system and how it interacts with cell phones; there are many important advantages of the E911 system.
[Blade General] PepeMandril:
I have opened my Blade so as to clean the dust in the screen, and after closing it like always and switching it on, the touch screen doesn't work.

Little do I know about hardware, but I'd say that the connector between the screen and the terminal is what should be harmed, but apparently it is like always.

Thank you very much in advance, I hope to get my Blade back.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DerJonathan:
Hi all!

I have a problem with my mini pro and would be most thankfull, if anyone could help.

Since a while now, my front speaker is not working anymore. I am using my phone with an unlocket bootloader, custom kernel and custom rom. First I thought this might have to do with that, since I first noticed it after trying an ICS beta (CM9). I did go back to SE-kernel and also restored everything with SEUS, but nothing worked. I have used various kernels and roms since, but my front speaker has not been working again.

Today I got a new speaker and changed it myself. Unfortunately, this still did not bring any changes, no sound at all.

Now I am a bit clueless, if this is really a hardware-issue or could be software related after all??

If any of you has any idea on the topic, it would be great.

All the best,

Jonathan
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] faiyyaz:
Bro I had the same issue with my phone.. It is the flex which goes from the motherboard to the lcd part (upper half of the slide) which might be damaged probably causing no connection to the front speaker.. U get it replaced by the SE serice center.. Thats the only way.. hope it helps..

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nico_spu:
Hi there, first of all, dissasemble your cellphone, here you have the service manual, it has everything you could need to make a hardware rapair, including dissasemble and reassemble videos. http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_E10i_Xperia_X10_mini_service_manual

Once you obtained acces to the speaker, test it, you can do it taking a wire with a 3.5 plug on one end, and bare wires on the other end, by plugin it on an mp3 player and making sound going trough the speaker. If your speaker works, you will have to take the schematics from the service manual, follow the circuit and locate the failure. Most common failures are a flex broken or pressure contacts failure but you can have problems like this one, that are more difficult to find and solve http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472440. If your speaker doesn't works, just replace it.

Any problem just say it

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DerJonathan:
Thank you all very much for your replies!

It sounds like you all do believe it must be a mechanical problem. I allready changed the fron speaker by myself, but it is still not working. I will see how the flex looks!

But it is good to know, none of you thinks, it could be something with the custom rom/kernel ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sniperspa:
same problem for me man!:(

have you solved the problem after all?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sniperspa:
i've tried to check with a tester and it seems that there isn't signal on the two contacts of the speaker...so i think the problem isn't the speaker but it is on some connection!! (maybe the main plan connector that connect the keyboard part with the sceen part)
[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
PocketNow dropped some really awesome details on Windows Phone 8. Now that the information is public Paul Thurrott can talk about it a little more open and honestly with probably more credible evidence.

Some points he discussed that are interesting:

-Windows Phone 8 will be based on the Windows 8 kernel and now Windows CE like it currently is.

-Will launch together with Windows 8 and share an integrated ecosystem thanks to the same code, user experience, and components.

-Data Smart

-App to app communication

-Internet Explorer 10 Mobile

-Shared components with Windows 8

-Companion experiences with Windows 8 (HELL YES)

-SkyDrive integration

-Skype app

-NFC and Wallet

-Improved Local Scout

-Camera Improvements

-Better business features

I'll update this post with greater detail. But in the meantime check out Paul's site for details here.

What feature are you most excited for??? Sound off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
I'm personally most excited for the "Companion experiences with Windows 8". Syncing content between the Xbox, phone, and laptop/desktop/tablet will be awesome.

My ideal future would be to be at the local coffee shop and maybe get a text on my phone and since the phone is in my backpack it could instead show on the messaging hub in Windows 8. I can reply there in Windows 8 and the phone will show the message as both read and replied to. Awesome right? We'll see what the future holds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
neat idea, working with some services already.

So you have your laptop tethered to the phone, or depending on free wifi ? Just thinking about data charges for a 5x transfer of a mms between the laptop and phone...
[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
Ideally the OS would be smart enough to figure out which networks to use to optimize data usage if you were tethering and not on wifi. But I'm sure there are solutions to make a good user experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nit3m4re:
Seem like nice features to me. I guess the big question is which phones will get the update though.. Tempted to get the Lumia 910 when it comes out here in the UK or Titan 2 but I hate this game of "Will I ever get the new OS when it comes out" that I've had with Android till now. Though seeing as no phones are being announced to launch with it, my wisest guess would that Nokia aren't going to forget their flagship phones lol, HTC.. not so sure =P
[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
It will be interesting what phones get the update. I want to say I think most devices out right now will be able to work with it, unless the new kernel requires different hardware.

I know this isn't the most convenient option for OEMS and companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google since you want to push innovation forward. But...in countries like the US where carriers still have more power than they should phones need to be able to last two years for two years of upgrades.

Obviously if you buy a phone at the end of it's lifecycle you can't expect to get updates two years from purchase but it's not hard to believe they can try for two years of software support from initial release.

What other features are you guys stoked about in WP8?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
Last i heard microsoft was eyeing an october launch for the win8 tablets. Hopefully they release apollo around then too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gamefrick:

[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
hummm even if there will ever be a w8 like lite-mobile version, i dont think 1st gen and 2 gen phones will be supported, with an 8GB storage....
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Flash storage has nothing to do with OS upgrade. MS policy is to support 2 years for each devices. Dont see why they won't be supported. May be Gen1 won't be able to benefit from all the new hardware features that can be used by apps, but that is it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
I hope so.... but I'm not optimistic
[Windows Phone 7 General] floopydoodle:
The NT kernel is only 25 MB. They wouldn't include all the subsystems of desktop Windows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Leapo:
Source for this information?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sionicion:
I wonder if we will see any advantages of running the NT kernel on our Windows Phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
I think the biggest advantage doesn't lie with us consumers, but instead the developers!

I don't know much about coding, but from I've come to understand is if they share the same kernel it can make creating an application that works on a laptop/desktop/tablet and a phone a lot easier. By saving developers time, energy and resources they might feel more incentive to create applications for Windows 8 / Windows Phone 8.

Another added benefit: the sales of "PCs" can boost the number of apps. When you go buy a new laptop, tablet, or desktop running Windows it will add to the total normal of devices that a developer can target on the platform. With the increased marketshare devs will be more compelled to add the app to the Windows Phone Marketplace with the increased ease with their code.

Consumers / You and me...win! With more quality apps added to our arsenal we get to reap the rewards of WP8 and Win8 sharing the same kernel.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
WP8 info looks good.

Finally an upgrade from windows mobile.

It looks like it will have an accessible user file system. My main problem with WP7.

Also more languages beyond .NET/silverlight. It will get a lot of standard apps ported which were written in C++.

Targeting of business is long overdue and will improve the software for everyone.

I hope it has more VOIP integration. I think that is the future.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
its false. MSFT gave carriers the authority to control and push updates. This means MSFT will not support devices for 2 years. My at&t first Gen phone is no longer supported after mango 7720. We don't even get the keyboard disappearing fix.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Source please?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Boburto:
Another good reason to buy a phone sim free. You pay for the phone over the course of the contract anyway so it's never free.

Also the deal MS have is that they have to push every second update at least. So you should be upgraded to 8107 soon. (They skipped 7740 and they can only skip one)
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
It may not be free, but still cheaper with AT&T in the United States. If you buy the phone at the no contract price, your monthly payment for service is not any cheaper. You just have the option of cancelling without paying $350 minus $10 for each month you had service.

If you are going to keep the phone for 2 years and don't want to switch to cancel or switch to a prepaid plan, it is cheaper to buy it on contract.

And, if you want to switch to a prepaid plan, it is still sometimes cheaper to get a phone with a contract. The HTC HD7 for AT&T is $0.01 if you get a 2 year contract, but is $449 if you buy it for a prepaid plan. So, it is about $100 cheaper to take the contract and then cancel after a month and pay $340. Then switch the phone to a prepaid plan.

They are out of stock for the HD7 for the prepaid plan, but not with a contract, which is funny since it is the same phone.

More proof that Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 will share something deeper that a beautiful interface.

The Consumer Preview (Beta) of Windows 8 will launch at the end of the month at a MOBILE convention.

[General Questions and Answers] Armazia:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is any program around for Windows mobile which lets 2 pda's communicate to each other. So for example:

Guy 1 has a PDA in his hands, Guy 2 enters a number in his screen which Guy number 1 will see on his pda. Its really simple, but hard to search for. I just need to send a number from 0-20 to another guy, its just some digits. If there's no such program, I might need someone to develop it for me(Since im terrible in this stuff), just pm me then.

Thanks in advance,

No ideas how to get the phone to answer a call when you open?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdajunkman:
Hey someone read my thread!!

Sorry, no posts on this thread yet and it has been up for a while. I think most people who have this phone stick to Howard forums or other such sites that cater to the phone type and its region of origin.

As for your question, no...but I have tried. That would require a modification of the phone app or a change to the OS itself as the phone app is the active app when the phone is ringing and the device is opened. If I had the source code for the stock phone app, this would be a fairly easy thing to do. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the source for the stock device firmware anywhere. I tried compiling a generic Froyo phone app from the Google source, but of course this did not work. This is a somewhat special app that needs to interface with several parts of the device's hardware, so a generic version just doesn't work. Unless Sharp releases the full source code for the stock firmware, I don't think this is going to be possible....at least not from someone with my somewhat limited development abilities.

Google Play

Hey xdajunkman, amazing work you are doing here.

Have you considered adding Google Play to the mix? I was able to get the latest version working just fine on my SH7218u.

How hard would it be to hack the light notifications area of the phone, to make some of the notifications last for 1-2 seconds longer?

I should also add that my phone is giving some really flaky GPS information. It is putting me somewhere in the ocean near China unless I use wifi only. Do you have any experience with this?

EDIT: I don't know why, but the dialer is not working for me with regard to the long-press of the delete key and silent (#) key. No idea why...

EDIT2: It is because I had another keyboard installed; which must do something funky... switching back to a default keyboard and then trying seemed to work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnny8384:
Thanks for your guide! Do you have got new version Rom? 2.3 or 2.3.5?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdajunkman:
Not likely to come. This would mean building something like CM7 for a new device from scratch. This kind of task takes dozens of man-hours for an expert developer, and that assumes that they have access to the original source for the release build. We do not have the original source, and there is no such developer working on this device. We will be stuck with Froyo.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a guide xdajunkman!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdajunkman:
It is usually just easier if you wait until you have the new ROM installed before you try and install your apps. There is no reliable way from within CWM to restore your installed apps.

However, because the new ROM is just a modified version of the stock ROM, it should be possible to flash the new ROM without wiping the existing user data and keeping your installed apps. Restore your backup that has all of your apps installed. Then, flash the modified ROM but skip the step in the instructions that tells you to wipe existing user data. Instead of wiping the user data, do the following:

1. In the 'mounts and storage' menu of CWM recovery, select to format both '/system' and '/cache'

2. In the 'advanced' menu of CWM, select 'Wipe Dalvik cache'

Now proceed with installing the ROM as per the instructions. This should result in the modified ROM being installed, but all of your installed apps should be protected.

If this does not work, then you will just have to re-installed the modified ROM according to the instructions (including wiping the existing user data), then re-install all of your apps. For future reference, a great app called Titanium Backup will allow you to backup your apps and restore them after changing the ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdajunkman:
Agree with sirjoe1. Hopefully you flashed CWM as your recovery before you did this. However, if not then booting into recovery mode as described above should trigger a factory reset from the stock recovery partition. I have not attempted this myself with the stock recovery, but usually what this will do is simply return your device to it's stock state. You can then start over using the instructions in the OP....but without deleting critical system apps this time.
