[XPERIA X1 General] VSJ:
I received email from Sony Ericsson that "Sony Ericsson" will be replaced with "Sony".

The first phone that will be launched is Sony XPERIA Arc S

I have bad experience about product of Sony Corp and Sony Ericsson. In somewhat their product isn't so good, TV, Home theater and soon could not last so long compare to other company and their price is always higher. I also have one Sony Clie UX50. That is the last time I bought Sony, full of crap

XPERIA X1 is a trial, I though Sony Ericsson will be different but... oh yeah, without XDA-Developers, this phone is also full of crap.

So will Sony XPERIA Arc S be different?

If the price is higher than Lumia 800, I won't go for it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Rustamkwang:
Palm (US) vs Sony (JP) huh?

I am not from US nor Japan. But I always satisfy of US product, Palm is absolutely more reasonable and durable than Sony Clie, I have several Palm and Clie. 2 of 3 Clie is broken now, but all my palm PDA never gave any problem.

Japan product is full of sh*t now maybe it "WAS" good. Now, they produce a high price product but the quality is about even worse than China.

I use Ford Fiesta car for a year without problem because it's stronger than the stupid pricey Honda (Jazz) Car. I can give more comparasion between US and JP products. US product is always better.

Sony changes name... But whatever Sony Ericsson and othe japan Company do, I will not buy those crap. X1 is enough.

Does anybody know if/how I can install the coredroid file explorer , on the unrooted sensation , if so how do I download it ? I love it on my hd2 , but can't find it on coredroid.com or on CDs , or market.
[HTC Sensation] matt95:

Hey guys

I have a rooted sensation and currently use the virtuous quarto ROM... but I don't seem to like it as much as I thought...

Would bit he possible to get the windows phone 7 ROM and if so could you link me to where I could flash it from? :)

Also, where could I get the virtuous Inquisition from from? The virtuous quarto is okay... but somebapps keep crashing and am slowly starting rob dislike it...

Many thanks guys!
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
at least use the search button if you are too lazy to go in the development thread

here is virtuos inquisition

and the 7 one is here
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
The link provided by the user above, is not an actual Windows rom. It's a themed MIUI-based rom.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Well, I see your looking for stability. I say you use a gb rom
[HTC Sensation] Csapty_htc:
Ahh thank you guys so much :)

Can't get a windows ROM as you need a licence to run windows
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
I know but he was referring to that rom
[HTC Sensation] marcusgolden:
I think you might be in the wrong forum. You might wan to look in the windows phone forum for solutions! Is it even possible to but a rom designed for the sensation on a windows phone?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Lol :-) :-)

I have updated my 2.1 to 2.3.4 swift v2 m6 based on cyangenmod 7.1.0 RCO.

Love the ROM

Issues, I paid for the optus unlock code and have to put in 2945#*520# to put in the provided code. The error comes up Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

I have spent a couple of days looking at different forums and solutions, tried extra pauses etc and still the same issues. One suggested going back to original ROM and trying that, however another issue I have is the phone will not boot back into recovery or bootloader, just turn off and stays that way. I have held different buttons as stated in different threads and even hopped on one foot.

I am happy with this ROM just want to get to the unlock menu, any ideas that I might have missed??

Cheers Ernie
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
Do you have fastboot, the unlock ccode only works on 1.6 official btw
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
i think it works on 2.1 too as long as the rom has the hidden menu. so best is to try boot into fastboot via power and camera button. (try holding it very hard and long till the black screen appears) and flash any 2.1 rom
[GT540 Optimus General] Tamate:
No good

Tried the power camera buttons never worked. Is there a fastboot 2.1 file that was like the 2.3 file that you just double clicked on and it installed the new android? So I can just click on the file 2.1 and it will load up?
[GT540 Optimus General] Tamate:
Ebay? hope not

Or is there another unlocking solution apart from trying to down grade my android, is there a network unlock that can be performed with other software?

Cheers for any help.

I am not really an optus fan and like to use whatever sim I like at the time, I suppose if I can not unlock the carrier it will go to ebay.

When I power off the phone it gives me the option to shut down, recovery etc however if I choose other than to turn it off it will not reboot.

hmmm rambling now

Ernie
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Either flash via KDZ method a 2.1 rom.

Or

Find in development threads thers a recovery zip for 2.1.
[GT540 Optimus General] Tamate:
Warning

Just a warning, if you get one of these phones network locked, unlock it before upgrading the android.

I have spent a week on this trying to downgrade to 2.1 so I can get to the unlock menu.

I have followed directions from many sites and flashed using kdz, have put recovery on using command prompt, use solution to get the phone to show up menus. Where I fall down is I can not get past the selection where the forums tell me to hold power/camera or other buttons and a menu will come up and give options to select install from sdcard. No matter what I do I can not get to that section??

This is really frustrating me, I have tried so many solution.

However, each time I fail and the phone is black, I just load the recovery with kdz and then click on Android234GT540_06-06-11_eng and this last file auto installs 2.3.4, wonderful, so is there a file like this for 2.1?? if so I pretty sure I can then downgrade then get to the unlock menu.

Or is there another network unlock solution.

Please help

Ernie
[GT540 Optimus General] Tamate:
Solved

You are the man, thank you sooooooo much, two weeks on getting the downgrade working and this works a treat.

After downgrade I was able to get into the unlock menu and was able to enter the unlock code, I am so happy for your post.

[GT540 Optimus General] gauss163:
If your phone has model# 540 then you should dial 2945#*540# not 2945#*520#, i.e. the final three digits should be the model number. Otherwise you will get the error you mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
Hello,

I just got a mail from HTC Elevate saying:

Now, do i need to revert my phone back to stock for this or can i just do it with the current rom flashed?
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Revert to stock!

Just had confirmation on twitter that the activity is officially open!
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
well i think they will push ics via ota so you have to be s-on and unrooted...so you have to flash a RUU...
[HTC Sensation] Gandalf Greyhelm:
Reverted to stock a couple of days ago.

Today I nearly re-rooted to try Mike's new 3.30 base.

Glad I didn't now...though it looks like it may be next week before we get it :(
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
Ah ok thanks then, since it's 2am here and i'm really sleepy, can you quickly point me to the right topic on how to revert back please?

I hope it's not going to be a pain in the butt, otherwise ill have to do it 2morrow :(

About halfway down the first post are the details for returning to stock.

I followed the guide and it worked perfectly for me :)
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
Thanks, but all those files need premium to download :(

Thanks aswell, but do i need to s-on and change my CID back or is just flashing the stock rom sufficient enough?
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
My phone is s-off only , stock, not rooted, so I can't get ota updates with s-off?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
flash stock rom...it will be sufficient...is your phone branded? if not flash the stock if yes i'm not sure what to do with the CID
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
I would say: just try! If you are elevated and received the mail, follow the procedure - with logcat turned ON :D- and try if you receive the OTA
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
have you s-offed with HTC dev method? anyway it is always better be stock and s-on to be sure

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

i would not try it if i am not sure...it can brick your phone...better s-on and stock
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Seems the email contain bad link

If you get no permission, just go on Elevate homepage and press activities ;)
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
No didn't use that method, just revolution, I'm not in the htcs elevate, just wondering for when released to all, seems tricky getting s-on again
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
I used revolutionary to s-off the phone.

Don't think Dutch Vodafone has branded phones, atleast not that i know..

Anyway, the update won't be for another few days
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Ok you would better turn to s-on stock without changing cid
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
How would I go about doing this? Sorry new to this, had a galaxy s before, very different rooting, Flashing etc
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
If you are not on htc elevate, why you want to do this? Is only a useless risk;)

We will get that rom when they share it:p
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
That's right... You have no reason to return stock
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
Just so I'm ready for when official Rom is released via OTA
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Nono, trust me, remain s-off and also root and install custom rom! I'm pretty sure we will have ufficial release days before htc's release! Enjoy the sensation!
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
OK thanks
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Actually Our ics roms are better than the ota update that will be out :-)
[HTC Sensation] Gandalf Greyhelm:
I installed a rooted RUU and returned to s/on.

Still CID'd.

Bootlocker still unlocked - via HTC.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'm 100% stock so just waiting for it. Tempted to go S-OFF but then flash the stock HBOOT so I'm Shipped S-OFF so I should then be able to flash CWM and get the images from a Nandroid...we'll see
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Eddy, if you are on elevate, please run logcat and send link to some devs!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Might do, depends if would mean me getting kicked off Elevate or not
[HTC Sensation] marcusgolden:
Most the devs are pretty amazing with cooking these custom ROMS, that it's hard to tell the difference! With that being said, what are the advantages to being stock for the official releases?
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
Anyone here with the official ota preview of the ics? Impatiently waiting for it and wanna know what's in it? :)
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
there will be no new things man...we already know what it will have...nothing special anymore...
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
as they said, is not private and you can share it.. read on htc elevate site

[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
You don't have "Print Screen" button on keyboard?

And, nice. But I think they mean only informations about Ice Cream Sandwich or it's pre-premier release, I don't think that they will release RUU that u can simply share with us.
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
no is not a my image, i'm not on elevate.. is a twitter image posted by Sense-o-Maniac

OTA requirements?

Does anyone know for sure what factors disrupt OTAs?

Not just for the upcoming ICS but when we got standard patches pushed out?

I am currently running my phone S-OFF with a stock RUU which I then rooted.

As the phone itself thinks it is stock, will there be any issue when the OTA comes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlymojo:
Basically I have a phone in my possession which has experienced water damage. I am not sure what is/isn't broken. I know the phone powers up because the lights on the keypad come on. I don't have any picture or backlighting though and I know the cables are connected because I tore the phone down and put it back together.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to if the LCD was actually working? My guess is that it is pooched.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSpammer5:
if you for some reason have 2 captivates, you can hook up the water damaged LCD to your working captivate, otherwise if you are unable to get any picture / lighting from the LCD, then its broken hardware. when phones are water damaged, the first things to stop working is the digitizer then wifi / phone signal then the LCD . I would advise selling your phone to a person who has damaged / missing casing. For example, my camera lens is cracked on my developing captivate, and I am trying to get my hands on a replacement. anyways, hope I helped.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] hakoda:
Just purchased my Bionic from TigerDirect, waiting for to arrive. First Android phone but I've had an iPod Touch for a while now. I'm fairly computer savvy and have been lurking these forums for weeks now.

Based on my research, I should respectively do the following:

Boot up, update if needed on stock

Root via this guide

Install Hashcode's SafeStrap

Nandroid Stock

Flash AOKP ICS & GApps on Safe partition

Install Nova/Trebuchet Launcher (can't decide, which one is better?)

Customize w/ apps, contacts, etc

Nandroid & TI Backup of ICS partition

Anything I miss? I'm new to this so point me in the right direction.

[HTC Sensation] ground_sniper:
Alright, so I installed ICS (Several roms, etc) as well as their respective firmware (3.24). I need a new motherboard flex cable, which means I don't have a working power button (which is, of course out of stock) so I installed the firmware via fastboot flash (extracted the files, one at a time, etc) but when I go to start up the ICS, for example HyperNonSense, it goes into a continuous reboot cycle from the home screen. The ONLY file I didn't get to flash via flashboot was pg2fs_spcustom out of the firmware package, course I had to change the name of the hboot nb0 package.

is there anything I can do to get ICS on my phone? Or am I outta luck till I can find a ribbon cable so I can properly install the firmware, etc.?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
i didn't get it man...you got a non-working power button right? but it isn't required to apply a new fw...right? to apply the fw you only have to put the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sdcard and then reboot in bootloader via adb
[HTC Sensation] ground_sniper:
You know, my phone used to recognize PG58IMG.zip files before and wouldn't be a problem, but I'm not really sure when it stopped doing that. Now if I adb reboot bootloader, I get to the bootloader and that's it. It doesn't bother to look for PG58IMG what would cause that, you think?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Really? How could it be possible? Your phone doesn't recognize PG58IMG. Zip anymore?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
You have to be in the hboot screen to flash the PG58IMG file... Not in the fastboot mode... But if you reboot bootloader it will take you to fastboot mode and then you can't press power button to go into hboot screen... That's the problem I guess
[HTC Sensation] ground_sniper:
LOL, that's kinda what I was thinking but I simply overlooked it more or less. I'll put a PG58IMG on the SD, boot into the bootloader and nothing. I thought I was supposed to boot into the bootloader, and then press the bootloader button? I know I can't select the fastboot option at the top.

I used to be able to update via PG58ING and the bootloader, but it was so long ago, and I thought I needed the power button to do that.

EDIT: saw your second post, and yeah that's it I'm assuming lol.

If only I could find a flex cable, but every where I've looked at it sold out.
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Try adb reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot + hold vol down button :-) that should take you in the right place! Oh don't forget to put the PG58IMG in the sdcard before
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Or just adb reboot + vol down
[HTC Sensation] ground_sniper:
Damn, so far it's just rebooting when I do fastboot reboot. Holding the volume down key before, during, after typing that it, all of them still just simply reboot, but thanks for the idea lol. Congrats on the 1,000th post :P
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
So even if you hold vol down when the phone is rebooting it doesn't take you to hboot screen? That's strange

When the phone is off and is going to get up you have to hold vol down
[HTC Sensation] ground_sniper:
I thought you had to hold power + vol down as a constant, though? I just turned off buttonremapper and still the same results even with the stock button layout. I suppose I'll have better luck finding a flex cable lol. but seriously though thanks for trying to help a brother out
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
No problems mate :-) but if it doesn't work dunno how to help you sorry
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Here recently, my screen appears to be whitewashed, almost like the backlight is bleeding in above the screen. The wierd thing is that it only does it when it feels like it. Sometimes I'll go a week without it happening, then it will decide to act up 3-4 times in one day. Also the bleed is getting progressively worse.

Is anyone else experiencing this? And how hard is it to deal with at&t on getting a warranty replacement?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Looks like your lcd is faulty, you probably would need to do a warranty replacement. I have had warranty replacement several times before and it it pretty easy. Just call 611 and tell them you have a hardware issue and you want to do a warranty replacement. They send you a replacement phone with expedited shipping and a prepaid box for returning your phone.

Of course if it is within 30 days, then I would return it and repurchase for a new unit. Otherwise the warranty would likely give you a refurb unit.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Have this issue all the time, I fear my phone is gonna go and ill have to pay 200 bucks to replace it from insurance
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Unfortunatley, I'm outside of the 30 day period. The fact that it would be a refurbished unit is making me hold off for now. Also, this issue is the only thing that's keeping me from rooting at the moment.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
I been having the same issue but I'm rooted :/

Stay in touch, I wonder if others are having thia issue as well
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Huh, funny you mention it. This just happened with my phone today!

Seems to have reverted after a full battery pull, though. Don't really know what happened there, and I'll report back on it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I have found that restarting makes it go away, but most times I let it go away on its own. The screen is still functional when this occurs, its just hard to read at times. I think I'm going to wait till it does it again, then ill give warranty replacement a shot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] msimindlessmsi2:
My roommate is on his second vivid. His first was doing this, and now the new one. It seemed to happen when a great amount of pressure was applied to the screen. He could make it happen by pressing hard on the center of the screen. Try it and see if it appears washed out.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I tried what you mentioned, and that seems to make it washed out, but my screen is never under much pressure at all. The most it ever has on it is if my jeans are too tight or something. It always goes in my front pocket too.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Ok, so just called the warranty replacement and described the problem to the tech. He wanted me to do a hard reset.

I really don't want to loose all of my data if I don't have to, so what do you guys think I should do? Should I just call back and request a warranty replacement, or go to one of the warranty centers? Btw, the closest warranty center is 3 hrs away...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Bull-crap. Seems more like a hardware issue than a software one.

I noticed that mine seems to do this when the phone is very warm, but it's been happening less frequent as of late.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
You will lose your data if you get a replacement anyways, but if I'm sure that it's a hardware issue (which in your case, I'm quite sure), I would just call them and say that it's still doing it after a hard reset.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Sounds like a plan. Ill just call them back at the beginning of week and tell them that a hard reset didn't work. Hopefully they will do a warranty replacement after that.
