[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
kkkkk now you tell me kkkkk

ok, I'll flash it again with 2.3 and try to unlock bootloader, then root, then maybe try some custom roms.

Do you have any advise on witch rom to choose? I think I should try the one that makes the most changes possible in rom, kernel,.... The objective is try to solve the reboots, so if the problem or bug is on any stock part i hope that the modified files will bypass that problem.

Thank you so much :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenty108:
You must root first, follow the guide in my signature. When you done with 2.3 flashing and rooting, flash donutHD and using it to see if you still get reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
:confused:

If I root first I can't unlock bootloader... right?

If I don't have bootloader unlocked I can't use custom roms... right?

If I only have the phone rooted can I install donutHD? Should I change kernel?

Sorry for so many questions, but I'm kind of confused with this...

Thank you so much
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Just root your phone and install recovery!that's it! There is no need to unlock your bootloader and flash a new kernel! Especially if you want to flash DonutHD..that Rom runs perfectly on stock kernel!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
My phone have a life of his own...

First he reboots when he likes, now I can't install recovery from flash tool...

I must have 2.3 version to install DonutHD?

Does I have any other way to install recovery?

Because I was getting so many reboots and couldn't install recovery on 2.3 version, I've installed 2.1 again, then I made the root, but now I still can't install recovery.

The reboots seems to be less, maybe I'll leave it as it is to see if the phone is usable.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
I've found the reason for the reboots... if not the all reason, at least the main reason: heat

As I've told before I'm with version 2.1. Also I've installed some good themes (gelly beam from Dev team). As I use or install more applications suddenly the reboots start and I notice that both the battery and the phone are a little hot. So, I put the phone on the freezer and after a few minutes all working fine again.

If i don't use too much the phone he's cool and work fine, if i use it and let it get hot i get reboots.

So, what's in my mind? - open the phone and put on his components some of that PC cooler stuff that is used on the CPU... What do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
that has to be a really tinny pc cooler thing then...thats sad...my phone used to reboot because of the cold and not of the heat...are you sure that it reboots because of the heat? I mean it has to get very hot to do so...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
sure, sure, I'm not... but when I demand some work from the phone he reboots... and keep on rebooting... but if I put it in the freezer for 1 or 2 minutes he get ok.

I'll make one more test: leave it in standby on the sun.

Oh, the phone don't get too much hot... if I compare it to other phones, like the HTC ONE S that I also have, this don't get more hot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
After some more tests this is what i've found:

- the phone don't charge the battery as it should. Starts to charge but after a while the phone reboots and the battery don't charge. Start to charge, then reboot, then starts all over again;

- So i charged the battery with a charger. After that the phone is working fine. I go to youtube see some videos, all ok until the time I decide to charge the battery again (was at 67%). As soon i insert the charger 2 seconds and reboot.

Any ideas?

This phone seems to be with devil inside!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
could be that you really have a big overheating problem then..try charging the phone while you are cooling it down (like by laying it onto an airconditioner or putting it in your fridge,our put some ice on it) and see what happens

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrosa:
Thank you so much... but this phone reach the end of the line for me.... I'll change it for a new one on the store and forget it :crying:

After I leave my last message i have another battery full so i decided to test if to see if there are also reboots with full battery. So i started to install things, use it on the internet, and all ok... until the time i decided to make a call and there comes the reboots.

So, no more time to waste with it! In the store i'll go for an exchange program and have some minor refund for it :/ well, better something that work than something that don't work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Yeah I think that's the best you can do. Something is definitely not right and it seems that it is a hardware issue after all.So there is no need to bother yourself anymore with it or try to fix it whatsoever...Good luck on your next phone!

Found this review for the USB Desktop cradle for Samsung Galaxy S 3

[YOUTUBE]2zqK7kkq-rE[/YOUTUBE]

Looks quite nice, I need one because it allows to charge one battery in it, while using the other one in the phone.

According to Raul (reviewer) it's distributed here

I wish it would support an extended battery, but no, just OEM

Info for all those in UK with dust under their screen...

I went into a shop called fonesolutions today, website's here: http://www.fonesolutions.co.uk/

They offered to clear out all the dust for £15! I think im gona do it just before i sell the phone to add some value.

Just thought I'd share with u all :)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Why? HTC has 2 years warranty and will do it for free till the next MAY at least. If you request it NOW, it's unlikely they'll ask for a proof of purchase (they didn't ask me)
[HTC Sensation] Deegan87:
So your warranty isn't void then?

I wish there was a good equivalent in my area of the US.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Why would my warranty be void? It's within 2 years of warranty time.
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
I know that but if you're s-off (most people on here are) your warranty is void and u can't send it to HTC. I know its possible to s-on and get back to stock but that's tricky and many don't want to go through all that
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
I've sent mine in with s-off but with stock ROM and firmware (run RUU and flashed all the subsequent updates). No problem. If they ask, just ask them what is s-off :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
cunning reply lol :D
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
oh really! i might try that but not sure if its worth the risk.. cos they still have every right to just say that the devices warranty is void, then refuse to fix it and charge you the £30.00, or whatever it is, to send it back to you.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
THEY would have to prove that YOU s-offed it and it didn't come s-off out of the box. Don't worry.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
And for the record, many Sensations did ship from the factory with S-off. So they have no possible way to prove you did it yourself.

Plus it's probably more expensive for them to argue about your software changes when you send in a hardware problem than it is to just fix the hardware problem. Especially since it's a known hardware problem that HTC fully admits to.

That said, there are numerous stories of people who've sent fully rooted phones to HTC with custom ROMs installed to have hardware problems fixed and the phone came back repaired just fine.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get your phone back from the time you send it to them?
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
In the Netherlands HTC has repair partners all over the country. I went in one of the shops and 1 hour later they called that my new screen was installed. Did not ask anything or check my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Element515:
I would assume that sending in a phone for this problem wouldn't matter if you're rooted since software can't get dust under your screen.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Rooting means you can mess with your clock speeds, messing with your clock speeds means you could have overheated it, overheating means distortion, distortion means gaps, gaps mean dust... Shall I continue?

Why give them ANY chance to be idiots and to refuse repair?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Esecailly since it's so incredibly easy to flash a stock ROM before sending it in which would mean they'd never notice something wasn't stock.

Yeahthe aftermarket recovery might still be there and it might be S-Off but I doubt the guy sitting at his desk fixing 25 phones a day is goign to notice those things when he's replacing a screen gasket to seal out dust. Now if he booted it and it said CYANOGENMOD and lacked Sense, it might stand out to him...

Also, did anyone know the answer to my last question? About how long it takes to get a phone back from HTC with the screen dust issue repaired? I'm in the USA as I assume where you start from makes a difference. Like the post above that says in the Netherlands there are shops that will fix it in an hour...I don't think I can do that here.
[HTC Sensation] darkassain:
minus the shipping to get there (which you can change) for me its been about 3 days from them receiving it to them having it in repair to them getting ready to ship, dont know though if the screen is repaired but i did mention it as one of many things faulty with the device
[HTC Sensation] andyli1985:
This problem also started to develop on my phone. I wish we have repairs stores around the area I live (I also live in the US).

One question, do I have to pay for the shipping fee to ship the phone to them?
[HTC Sensation] darkassain:
yes you do

also and this very important, ship it in a box specifically made to ship small electronic items (was going to shiping it in something else) as they can void your warranty for breakage when shipping, thankfully i was told that before shipping the actual device so there was not much a problem...
[HTC Sensation] andyli1985:
Ok. Thank you.
[Desire HD General] mcjordan92:
Hi,

I'm using Nova launcher on sense4A ROM (sabsa 4.0 but its the same for all sense 4), and every time I reboot my device the lockscreen icons disapear (I'm left with only ring for opening).

The reason for that as I discovered is because the HTC Sense doesn't boot up.

If I uncheck the Nova as default and choose HTC Sense (to load it once), the icons return.

But because I'm using Nova, I want to make it default and not run the HTC Sense every reboot (I reboot alot - atleast twice aday)

So my question is, is there a way to make the HTC Sense boot up in the background automatically with out my touch?

Thanks,

Yarden.

[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
So I own the nexus 7 for 3 days now and I love it. But I've never been a fan of the chrome browser cause I think its too inconsistent for me. So I tried many different browser:

Mozilla: OK but sometimes not fluid

Maxton: nice and fluid with ability to support flash but sometimes not responsive

Chrome: default browser, fairly fast rendering but can stutter from time to time.

So I've been trying Dolphin browser since yesterday and I love the experience. Easy access to bookmarks, fast rendering, fluid with little to no lag, just an all around solid browser that I would recommend to anyone. What about you guys, which browser do you use and which one would you recommend?
[Nexus 7 General] random45:
I like opera a lot. But that was when using my galaxy s2. Now that u just got a nexus 7, I think I'll try dolphin on it. I never really liked dolphin on the s2,but maybe a tablet will be better.
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
I never liked dolphins on any of my mobile phones, but it rocks on the N7!
[Nexus 7 General] miketoasty:
I personally like Chrome with this: http://droidnerds.com/content/how-to-permanently-have-desktop-mode-on-chrome-mobile-for-android/

But of course that is just my opinion.
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
Boat browser is my favorite with Dolphin browser not far behind. Both support flash and they offer all the options you could even need. Performance is top notch too!
[Nexus 7 General] Salty Wagyu:
I'm in the same boat as you, I use Dolphin on the Nexus due to Chrome stuttering on some sites, and the Lastpass integration is nice too. But Dolphin sometimes just closes and disappears for no reason which I haven't been able to figure out. No force close message or anything.
[Nexus 7 General] RockNrolling:
I like dolphin as well. The fullscreen mode is great. But I use FF Beta for flash videos.

I've heard good things about Boat Browser as well.

[Nexus 7 General] Scotto70:
+1 ... Love the Full screen mode.
[Nexus 7 General] charliechocolate:
chrome drives me nuts with the zoom box whenever I try to click a small link, and firefox seems to constantly follow the wrong link, and doesn't allow you to correct and redirect even though it's highlighted the correct link after the fact. I also don't like how firefox reloads when you click "back" rather than loading a cache. Guess I'm going to have to try dolphin, but FML how hard can it be to get an awesome browser from google of all companies...
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
I totally understand what you're saying. I'm coming from an iPad 3, which is honestly a great tablet despite apple being a bunch of douchebags lol, and safari works flawlessly. ..I mean FLAWLESSLY it is incredibly smooth and fast. If Google could do the same with chrome that would be much appreciated. But in the mean time Dolphin is very good.
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
I actually really like that feature, but I don't use chrome because it's sluggish on heavy pages.

I'm bouncing back and forth between Chrome, Boat and Dolphin with no clear winner yet.
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
I've side loaded the dolphin beta with dolphin engine, works for me :)
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:

[Nexus 7 General] odoto:
which dolphin version are you guys using exactly? I tried to install dolphin browser, but play says it is not compatible... funny enough dolphin browser mini is Oo
[Nexus 7 General] darkchazz:
Definitely Dolphin.

Chrome lags too much.
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
I guess whatever the latest version is. I didn't have any problem downloading it. After a couple days of use and trying other browsers, Dolphin is hands down the best browser for the N7 in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
Dolphin and Boat are browsers, they are just browser skins on the stock browser.

Only Opera Mobile, Chrome and Firefox offer TRUE browsers.

Out of these, Opera Mobile wins by a mile, it's twice as fast as all the others, and it's rendering seems to be more how the page should look when viewed on a tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] Belda:
ICS Browser+

What about ICS Browser+ ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus (i don't know if it's posible to install on Nexus 7)

I used it on my Iconia Tab A500 (I'm waiting for my new Nexus 7 now) instead of stock browser.. It look like stock browser, but it's a bit faster and better.
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
it force closes for me when I try to install it.
[Nexus 7 General] SlenderKtulu:
I'm using dolphin browser beta, which has n7 support.
[Nexus 7 General] andcbii:
I don't mind chrome but i'll have to give Dolphin a try.
[Nexus 7 General] jamesst20:
Dolphin ftw
[Nexus 7 General] Groid:
I use the stock browser from the Nexus S phone JB rom. Replacing the stock browser on the N7 with the phone browser allows Flash to be side loaded. Every flash site I've tried works with this combination.
[Nexus 7 General] odoto:
although I didn't like it on my Defy, I gave Firefox (Beta) a try on the n7... and so far I really like it. I'd say it renders faster than Dolphin... and so far I experienced no javascript-glitches, which I regularly did when using Chrome...
[Nexus 7 General] Toast95135:
You have to install ICS Browser+ as a system app (aka need root) or it won't work.

I've been using pretty much every browser available for the Nexus and I can give Dolphin another thumbs up. IIRC it's a skin of the AOSP browser and it works really, really well. Chrome is fine but the bookmarks lag is irritating and isn't super smooth. Firefox has it's hiccups as well and doesn't feel super user friendly (to me at least). Boat is nice but I don't like the UI, there's too many buttons to press to do simple things and it isn't totally smooth.

+1 for Boat. It does everything so seamlessly and it even supports flash. Fullscreen, bookmarks, exit button, and tons of other options.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I believe you just side load (install) the adobe flash apk.
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
I did that but it isn't working.
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
You have to install a older version of dolphin that supports flash. The newest version doesnt support it.

To those using Dolphin, are you using the latest version or an older version?
[Nexus 7 General] Tomatoes8:
+1

I find boat the best by far. Just fast, smooth, and makes everything easy.
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
I'm using the latest version. It works perfectly and I don't need flash anymore actually. I change the browser user agent to "ipad" ( don't be mad at me :) ) that way I can play many html5 vids within the browser itself. Websites like CNN or ESPN.
[Nexus 7 General] osi13:
I have found Chrome to be laggy, which is hard to believe, but true. Dolphin has been great, for the most part, and has a minimal amount of lag. I recommend changing your user agent to iPad if you are using Dolphin. The latest version of Flash and the stock ICS browser seem to work together the best. I am planning on trying Boat browser, and will report back.

Flash version 11.1.115.17 and the stock ICS browser work great. You can find the latest Flash apk here. I love navigating tabs with Chrome, but the random lag kills it for me.
[Nexus 7 General] kevvyboy:
Chrome has always worked well for me. Use Boat as a backup for flash based bits and pieces. TBH Boat is starting to creep up on Chrome, might be time to switch my primary.
[Nexus 7 General] angellsl:
I use chrome
[Nexus 7 General] rmcc4444:
It works for me everywhere except Amazon Prime. You have to actually click on the flash video to enable it.

To respond to the initial question.

I use Dolphin for everything except when I want to stream something from Amazon Prime. I then hop over to Firefox beta, which streams Amazon Prime movies/videos fine. The only caveat was I had to install a Firefox plugin which presented my user agent as a desktop version of Firefox rather than an Android version.
