[HTC Excalibur] fuLLah:
Can someone please tell me how to fix the following?

If I am on the homescreen [Kavana 6.1] and I want to call someone, I will type in their name. If for example I want to call someone named Jill, I can type it out and it will appear on the screen as "JILL" and match up to the proper contact. However, if I type a name like Sammy, it will alternate between letters and the numeric keys to produce something like "4#.."

How can I change this?
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
same thing

i had the same thing happen to me earlier but the name that i was looking for was in the list too so i just selected it. no biggie.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
I highly don't think there is a fix.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
hhaha

i just noticed your signature mikey....you rule
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Haha sweet sig mikey... haha thats awesome, did you create that?
[HTC Excalibur] fuLLah:
It just sucks when you have a dozen people whose names begin with S LOL

Sucks that there seems to be no fix to it
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Yah it does suck, I agree with you man...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I created a contact named "sammy" and I was able to select it just fine in my new ROM..
[HTC Excalibur] fuLLah:
Which rom and keyboard layout are you using?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
He is using the new Rose rom that he created...
[HTC Excalibur] fuLLah:
hmmm...I just might have to try it out :D
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Even the "rose" rom does it. Sorry NRG lol

I have the rose rom and i tried looking for "Jenn"

What is going on is that if the letter falls on a number in the search field, it is defaultet to showing the number. The phone thinks you wanna enter a number to dial.

Hi there,

I have installed a new Android 10 unit with SD625 processor on my BMW E60 and I have a issue with the display. The screen flashes from time to time and it has a very strange light and contrast sometime.

I have attached a video with the problem below.

Do you have any idea what this problem might be?

Thanks

I have a Joying 8" SD625-based unit and I think they are too early, there are too many bugs, it just isn't working right, has no steering wheel control support via CANBUS, etc. I bought a replacement UIS7862 9" unit and will be returning the SD625 unit when the new one arrives.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Onacceptable:
Hi,

I tried rooting my Nord 2, but managed to screw it up somewhere. I followed the usual stepw to do this, but the first time I was unable to use my wifi/bluetooth/gps. My phone was/is at the A1 EU. Version. I tried fixing the problem, but made things worse. Now I am stuck in the red dot boot logo and after a while I get to the TWRP screen. From there I can still fastboot. I tried restoring my phone from there, but without any luck. Can someone help me fix my phone ? At this point I don't even care that much anymore about rooting my phone, i just want to be able to use it again.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] JustMan:
Hi,

I had the same issue, but without switch to TWRP screen, just stays on red dot boot logo and that was all. The solution for me was format of the storage with stock recovery. In your case you may follow the instructions below:

1. Boot in bootloader (volume down + power on)​

​

2. Flash the stock recovery​

​

3. Reboot to recovery​

​

4. Select English, after that Wipe and Format storage (the phone will reboot automatically after success)​

Best regards and good luck!

Did you try to format data via twrp and then restart?

Hi there,

I am unexperienced in this area but I am looking for your help..

Is there a way to get on WearOS or Android RAW ECG Data ... In the different forums I found just tutorials to get the Samsung App running ..

I am looking for a way to get the raw data from the embedded sensors ..

Really appreciate each hint ..
[XPERIA X1 General] stuartforrest:
Got my Xperia on Friday. I am amazed, it is easily the best hardware on Winmo. I have a Touch Pro also and have had every other previous decent windows mobile phone you can shake a stick at.

First thoughts.

It is great to get away from Touchflo as I didnt really like that but I am sorry, SE your panels are sh/*e up to now and are not fit for purpose. Unlike some commentators I think the concept is great but it is so buggy it is unbelievable. On certain panels once you open them you got a desktop that has delays of 30 seconds to a minute when you click on items. How can something like that leave the factory.

However, if you steer clear of the panels (or at least a couple of them) the hardware is truly amazing and really sleek. Way better than the sloppy touch pro. It feels like it is made of metal (it is of course), the screen is fantastic.

The keyboard is not as good as the one on the touch pro but it is only slightly different and I am quickly adjusting to it.

I have to say that I am delighted with it (bar the panels) but I reckon there is more to come once they release some updates (or someone else does a rom for it).

Has anyone else got problems with the panels like this?

My two worst ones are the silver home screen which goes really slow and the multimedia one that freezes altogether.
[XPERIA X1 General] easycure1974:
The multimedia panel works nice for me without hickups, but Sony Ericsson Panel 1 and 2 are slow and unusable. But I don´t use the panels often, the phone is so nice even without the panel concept
[XPERIA X1 General] danielherrero:
Hi stuartforrest.

I ve one question for you. :). Most of the Touch Pro users (included me) suffer of GPS lag (Not time to fix but arrow 3 or 4 seconds behind you). Could you tell us your experience with Xperia and GPS lag issue?

Thanks

Dani
[XPERIA X1 General] miky7:
It is already discussed here.

Please do not comment on the GPS in this thread otherwise the information gets lost.
[XPERIA X1 General] danielherrero:
Sorry. As you can see I asked in that thread too and only one answer and the owner hadnt a touch Pro so he couldnt compare. I wanted to know the opinion of a user who owned both phones. I dont really think my question is out of topic :D
[XPERIA X1 General] SCtud:
why do you think the keyboard is better on the touch pro?

looks like the xperia would be easier to use with the spacing between keys which should them easier to miss. though it is lacking the extra row. do you find the loss of that row worth the added benefit of smaller size and better accuracy?

i have no idea since i have neither of the phones yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] NoSubstitute:
I suggest trying the Spb Mobile Shell panel.

I like it.

Working to get a proper install of TCPMP with decent plugins to play all media.

Currently flac, wmv, 3gp and avi, all play decently.

mp4 on the other hand does not.

Luckily the built-in WMP plays mp4 just fine.
[XPERIA X1 General] Psycho Dave:
I have been using my Xperia X1 for over two weeks now and I have to agree with stuartforrest, the panel function sucks. It is a really useless function.

OK, try this...

Say you want to listen to some music, start the multimedia panel and start playing the music that you want. Then why not look up the artist on google, lets go to the google panel. Press the X panel button, what the .... the music stops. So with the panels you can only do one thing at the time.

It is much more practical to use Spb Mobile Shell, I only miss a quick way to turn WLAN on and off.

Why do people call this phone Sony xperia X1 on this forum when the real name is Sony Ericsson Xperia X1? I would say that the "Ericsson part" has the biggest influence on design and development so I would rather call it Ericsson Xperia X1 then Sony Xperia X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] Simplex:
I'll try to explain..

The keyboard on Xperia is not good. The buttons are small and difficult to feel and when pressed the respons is bad. So typing is difficult, but I'm getting better on it every day.. :-)

My pevious phone was the Hermes whitch has a much better keyboard with larger keys.
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
I noticed that too since the previews, that sucks so badly; but the important question is, will it also stop if you're using 3rd party music player like coreplayer? if so then it IS BEYOND HORRIBLE!
[XPERIA X1 General] e-dub:
are you able to turn off the panels? like you can shut off touchflo? i'd rather use my mobile without easier, i think...

eric b
[XPERIA X1 General] meggs:
According to SE is it not possible to turn panels off.
[XPERIA X1 General] stuartforrest:
No it is prefectly viable to use all third party software. In fact I would say it is much easier to do this than on the Touch Pro or Diamond where you have to get inot hacking touch flo 3d to launch a different calendar app etc.

The SE Xperia X1 is easily the best piece of hardware ever on WinMo. Why HTC didnt make their own device as good as they made this third party one I dont know.

The keyboard is not as brilliant as the T/Pro but it is still damn good and you do get more used to it.

I just need to learn how to reprogam the utterly sh*+e panels button to launch SPB mobile shell and I will be happy.

If you have a 32GB model, when using Flash Tool, uncheck the tickbox saying "userdata" as leaving this on will completely brick your device.

[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
yes you could install microG instead of GAPPS. yes you could use all banking apps with no problems.

the new F22 pro became significantly bigger as for its dimensions compared to F21 pro. and theres still no development for the device yet so you might need to wait a bit longer to unlocked phone's full potential

you could buy the phone from that link but when you reset that device, the root+playstore might dissappear so you need to do this tutorial to bring it back coz the seller might not give you support. but the phone from that link was already bootloader unlocked so that could save you the hussle of unlocking the bootloader yourself.

Good morning.

Unfortunately, I really don't speak English.

and I assumed that it would be translated automatically, but it can also be due to Google on my PC.

well then it means that I can only answer in the morning or in the evening when I'm at home.

because otherwise I don't find the time at work to have this translated into English because I only have a few minutes to write something before I have to leave again.

I already mentioned the device is mainly for grandma again and it would be really nice if someone could help me here how to get the device in German as far as the physical keyboard is concerned because with t9 it only writes in English and the German dictionary cannot be inserted .

I've also tried other apps but they all control the keyboard with me. MFG Bernd

i have tried to flash this several times, cant seem to get passed step 10, loading twrp.

Before anyone says read this comments or press the right buttons. I have done this but ends up just going to fastboot mode. I have the 64gb pro version. So dont see why these steps wouldnt work.

Any advice would be great!

[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
after flashing you can try to go to fastboot and run command "fastboot reboot recovery" check if the phone will respond.
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
I have and literally nothing happens, just stuck on the fastboot screen. When I type in fastboot devices it doesn't even show the device as being there unlike any other android device I have had.
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
It's frustrating as I am definitely following all the steps!!
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
what variants you have? mine came in a white box. i think newer batches came in blue box are different and sometimes came with no imei. try to factory reset it via fastboot, try to flash a full dump first before flashing this , or look for a stand alone twrp recovery file for your variant and flash it separately via fastboot command.
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
64gb came in blue box, my phone does have imei number. I managed to get on to twrp, however i am trying to flash the boot.img now and it says no os installed, failed to mount. Think there is no partition. Is there anyway to to sort tha
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
because you probably changed to use the B partition. everything should be flash to A, so firmware is in A. you accidentally changed it to B in twrp
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
so how do i get back to A?
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
go to twrp. reboot -> tap SLOT A -> tap system
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
i done that but it just resets to B. This is getting frustrating Thanks for the help btw. I started all over again and it automatically chose B slot.
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
re flash. but this time dont switch to SLOT B. everything should be flash to SLOT A and always boot the SLOT A. after flash go to TWRP and go to forma data (you will type yes)
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
I restarted all over again and it automatically setup in Slot B, i tried taping slot A but it just resets everytime. Not sure what to do now. thanks for the help
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
maybe bcoz u already deleted the system on slot a without realising it. just re flash agan. if it still doesnt work, try to look for the official firmware dump. the tutorial is working for everyone maybe its your 1st time flashing thats why you having a hard time.
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
quite possible, how am i choosing slot A when i do get twrp back up and running. Am i meant to choose a slot when using flash tool or does it do it automatically?
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
1st. did you successfully flashed the phone via flash tool? did the flashtool gave you the GREEN CIRCLE after flashing it? because yours sounds like a currupted firmware. happens when flashing got an error in flashtool. you need to be honest or else no one can help you and we just waisting our time
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
thats impossible. a successful flash should recorrect your phone's partition. how can you tell it automatically set it up to slot b? a fail flash via flashtool is a failed flash. there's no faking it and working around it and cannot proceede to the next steps.
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
well on 3 occasion its gave me the green tick at the end of the flash and when i boot up twrp, i check which slot it is and it is down as slot B. I flashed stock and that booted up fine but i obviously dont want to use that as I wanting to use google services.

just find it strange it keeps going to that slot B and wont let me do anything about it.

Hello. Thanks for all your hard work first.

I am trying to get this done, but I failed in step 9.

As soon as "flash_tool" tries to do something, the tool complains that "vendor_boot_a" is empty.

I have checked the scatter file, and it looks like expecting file which has same name, but in the firmware folder there are no such file.

Could you help me a little here?

* If I turned "OEM unlock" on in developer menu, then boot loader unlock is done?
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
how come at step 16 when i boot.img up when i go to restart phone it says no OS installed? where am i meant to install os i thought following these steps it installs it for you?
[General Topics] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Your phone is still not bootloader unlocked. show picture of the flashtool error

You reboot the SLOT B system. You need to pick SLOT A SYSTEM when you reboot in TWRP. Where did you flash the boot.img? You're supposed to flash it in BOOT only because its a boot file. NOT IN SYSTEM, NOT IN RECOVERY. If you flash it in other partition you might mess it up again and redo the flashing
[General Topics] Leebrown2709:
I have attached some images of what is happening.

So the error message i get when factory resetting,

what happens when i click slot A after restarting TWRP'

it goes back to slot B.

I didnt click anything to select B before installing or after i have reinstalled old firmware then tried to install this custom rom this again making sure i didnt click on anything that i shouldnt.

Does this help showing you what I have encountered?
