If the red LED doesn't come on when you connect to the power without the battery then your Hermes is dead, good only for parts.... If the LED does light up, connect the battery and see if it turns amber(orangey) that means its charging.

It could be the internal fuse blew. Might be replaceable but could be costly....:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] frenchglen:
Yes, after reading that other people could usually still see a red LED without the battery, I gave up.

Sigh...well at least I got to see my Hermes die...the screen gradually fading away in front of me....sniff....:( I will miss it dearly.

But life moves on and hey hey hey I'm the proud owner of a new Blackstone! I just wasn't ready to upgrade yet...I wanted to wait until a capacitive screened successor to the Touch HD came out...sigh

But I suppose deaths of family and friends don't happen when you're ready for them :D

Goodbye my Hermes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Flukturr:
Dear eyupwolf, I have similar problems.

Camera just works some times, but after that it can not be initialised again and drains my battery out. So I don't use it anyway (since 99% times tried it didn't work). If I do, I have to reset Hermes many times to set things up.

Can you describe the procedure how you fixed (removed) that problem?

Thank you,

battery wont charge

I got the same problems with the Hermes 200. I tired the 3 AAA battries in serial connection but it didn't help. :(

I even tried to cool the battery for 30 mins in the freezer (an old trick to squeeze the last little bit from the battery) the phone turned on for about 10 seconds but the os never loaded up. the phone shows red when connected to usb without a battery but led turns off when battery is insterted. :(

I ordered a battery on ebay, but until it arrives does anyone have any other suggestions?

thanks

PS. It had Olipro 2.10 spl and recently installed the amazing golden globe v9 rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=458456

I want to update my OS and find a new ROM, but I want to be sure that I have a full proper backup of my ROM before I start. Can you recomend the best software to do this? At the moment I use "spb backup"

Will this work to back up my ROM?

Thanks!

please do some research before posting new threads! i know i aint no moderator but it p's me off when i see new threads started when they could be avoided!

dont take this personally!

anyways, the software you mention will only back the files on your rom (like apps ans settings). if its a full rom back up of the UK xda ignito that you are after then have a look at this thread

you will have to restore/upgrade the radio rom and SPL separately (have a look at the sticky threads on the rom devs thread

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
Hey, I was wonderin if there is a way to change the colour of the top and bottom windows bars (the ones with the soft keys and battery, signal & start) i would really like to make them transparent if it's possible.

I know with the older versions of WM it was possible to play around with these using theme makers but it was pretty much to change the colour not make em see through.

So if anyone knows how or is upto the task of doing it or even telling me how to do it id be a very happy chappy!

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mancsoulja:
you can change the colours just by changing the theme in the today option in settings, and theres some cabs floating about to make them "glossy black" like the basic theme in vista! i dont think is possible to make them transparant tho :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
I looked at changin the colours but because i use the Background changer none of them really matched the pic i was using,

Oh well with any luck some bright spark will figure it out sooner or later!

Buy your self a dock with a charger from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Desktop-Charger...5|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

also seek a PDA repair expert in your area, they can change the mini usb.

OR if your phone is still under warranty(less than 1 yr old)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] Aegishua:
Im curious... could it be your charger maybe?

You could always try as the person before me said get a dock and plug your charger into that and if then after maybe an hour or two check how much it has charged and of its the same as when you charge through your phone.. its not your phone or battery, its your charger. Use the process of elimination.. it works with computers.

I downloaded wallpaper from some website and now I would like to have this wallpaper in my phone. In panels I can change COLOR (yellow, red, Maroon, XPERIA etc.).

I want to change this color for wallpaper/some photo from camera. Is it possible? I didn't find any option which is responsible for it.
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Of course, just navigate to Programs\panels\sonyericssonpanel\images and exchange the images there. Every color sheme has a number (e.g.09 for brown) and a portrait image (09v) and a landscape image (09h). When you save the new images over the existing, you can chose your images from the panel's options (e.g. color sheme "brown" is your image files).
[XPERIA X1 General] GuzioR:
Folder 'images' is empty...
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Are you in the right folder on the phone's memory? Have you tried accessing this folder via Active Sync?

The folder can't be empty otherwise you would have no background in the SonyEricsson-Panel.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
So just adding new won't work??
[XPERIA X1 General] GuzioR:
Yeah, I'm right. I try it via Active Sync but it's still empty. My phone is new. I own it from 2 days. Look at screen. Maybe "sep1p" "sep1pl" etc. are images which you are talking about?
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Look from the phone level! Use TotalCommander.
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
I think not. The options menu in the panel only shows the preinstalled color themes. Don't have an idea how to connect new images to new themes -mabye there is a config file somewhere in the panel's folder.

You are in the wrong folder: These files are in the panel's root-folder. Just open the next folder "IMAGES".
[XPERIA X1 General] GuzioR:
Look, below 1st screen there is pasted next which shows EMPTY FOLDER "IMAGES".

EDIT: There are images but I opened it via File Manager. Should I exchange 2 images? Portrait and landscape? :)
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Yeah, 2 images, h for your desired landscape pic and v for the portrait pic.

Just look at the pic's properties what resolution you need -should be 7xx x 480p (because you need to cut the taskbar from the 800pixels height)
[XPERIA X1 General] GuzioR:
Ok. Thank you for help.

Hello,

after installing some applications my display resolution is somehow damaged.

The whole screen is flickering and everything is more bright than before.

The screen looks strange as every horizontal line of the display is followed by a thin dark line, so that the whole screen is in stripes.

Furthermore the icons and text seems to be slightly bigger.

In the settings the info claims to have 800x480 and 65k colors.

All applications still work fine, but look strange with the stripes and the flickering.

What worries me most is that even after hard reset the damaged screen resolution is kept.

I hope someone has a solution.

[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Interlacing

That's strange, it sounds like interlacing. When you say you did a hard reset do you mean a proper hard reset, as in, turn off, two silver soft keys and reset button under battery cover, reinstalls the OS?

If you did that and it isnt fixed then it looks like you have a hardware problem. It sounds like a sync issue because it's giving the effects of interlacing (i don't think the screen is interlaced, it shouldn't be, but it's possible).

In that case, you need a new phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] ptestfall:
documented hard-reset

Hi alias_neo,

the reset I did was with the silver buttons and the power button.

It then asked me if i really wanted to continue and had to press the R-key.

It then took a few minutes until the phone was up again and it was a fresh install.

If some software was able to change the display to interlaced, there must be a way to reverse it again.

Regards,

[Touch HD General] jetjockgordo:
DVDCatalyst is the best for me. The Touch HD is listed as a device with default conversion setting and watching movies with Windows Media Player is fantastic. Images are smooth and the HD screen is fantastic. Using the HD defualt settings in DCat creates files between 450-550 megs. DVDCatalyst is well worth the $20. They offer a full featured 7 day trial version here http://www.a3vs.com/

I've tried a few, and the best I've found is the one johnpatcher mentions above : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=474955

Use DVDDecryptor to rip the DVD to VOBs, then VOBmerger to make the VOB files 1 big one - then run the Encoder above to make it perfect for the Touch HD. I admit its a bit of a faffing about, but it doesn't take much longer than using Xilisoft or something - which ends up with a movie with stuttery playback!
