Guys,

I'm not a complete noob but this one has me stumped. I have a WPA PSK encrypted wifi network at home that I wanted my Blackstone to connect to. I could get it to connect through to the net whether I used The Internet or Work connection. However, only when I use the "My Work Network" connection for both the "Programs automatically connecting to the internet" and the "Programs that automatically connect to a provate network" settings I can connect to my wifi, browse my files, and still use the net through my wifi's gateway (i.e. my home internet).

This didn't happen when I tried the "Internet" or "My ISP" settings on the connections, networks screen.

Now my issue is that everything works exactly how I want it except one thing. when I'm not at home and I need to access the net, it automatically uses the "contract internet" (GPRS/3G/HSDPA) connection which is great, however this connection only works for the internet and mail....MSN simply gives me an error message that the connection was not made. However when I switch the connections back to "My ISP" it works.

I've always found this connection setup a tad confusing, so if somebody could point me in the right direction i'd be appreciative!

Thanks

Wiggz

[Touch HD General] Gisbourne:
Hi folks,

Thought I'd pass on some information I discovered recently which might be useful...

When I got my phone a month or so ago I swapped the SIM card out of my old Orange SPV straight into the HD because the new SIM supplied with the HD didn't work and obviously needed to be registered (which I couldn't be bothered with at the time - I just wanted to play!).

Last week I signed up for a data package with Orange - £5/month for 500MB which seemed very reasonable. I started using the service and have been fairly satisfied, but I noticed that I didn't seem to be getting any changes in data reception ie. GPRS, 3G, Edge, HSDA etc, even in built up areas (never saw an H, E or 3G in the display, just G). It always seemed to be on GPRS and the data transfers were pretty slugglish.

I had read somewhere on these forums about old SIM cards restricting data transfer rates so I called Orange and they agreed that data rates ARE impeded by using an old SIM.

They registered and sure enought I have been getting HSDA/3G in my area with an appreciable increase in data speed. Now I might be in the minority, but I wouldn't mind betting there's a few more out there with this problem and hadn't realised it...

Moral of the story... register and use the new SIM :)!
[Touch HD General] Step666:
Well, that's kinda why they give you a new SIM with your new phone...

Out of interest, where did you upgrade?

Because most places should automatically switch you across to the new SIM.
[Touch HD General] bonesy:
either that or check if 3g/hsdpa is enabled
[Touch HD General] Gisbourne:
I upgraded via the internet which is why the SIM wasn't pre-registered...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
lready knew of this issue, buts its nice that you shared it any way incase other noobs didn't know.

Its all about sharing your knowledge with the community!!
[Touch HD General] Step666:
But which company?

Orange directly? Carphone Warehouse? Someone else?
[Touch HD General] Gisbourne:
Ahh soz - Orange directly over the web...

Have a good weekend...
[Touch HD General] Gisbourne:
Agreed - have learnt a hell of a lot from this site... :)
[Touch HD General] crewmeal:
I have had my current o2 PAYG simcard since October last year and have just bought a touch HD from Ebay. Do I need to change simcards or just swop it from my Nokia? (I won't be home in the UK for another couple of weeks as I'm currently working in Jordan, and yes the phone is unlocked to any network?
[Touch HD General] Step666:
See that really surprises me.

I've upgraded through Carphone Warehouse before, on an Orange contract, both in-store and over the phone/online and when I've been issued a new SIM, it's always been automatically registered/activated.

I would've thought that if a third party can do that, then the network themselves should be able to as well.
[Touch HD General] Tabintab:
Hi,

Before I got the Touch HD i had a Nokia N95 with an unlimited data plan. Well i upgraded & used the old sim, i get all the high speed data rates, H, G etc etc. So i guess if u have a sim that caters for 3g alrdy, even if its an old sim it wont make any differance.

Tab
[Touch HD General] Gisbourne:
Hey crewmeal - you sound distinctly like airline staff (I work for BD) :). After my experience I would suggest you try and obtain a new SIM to be sure... Might be worth popping into one of their shops and asking the question though...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] logger:
Whenever I plug my Diamond as Disk Drive instead of activesync I get

"Do you want to scan and fix removable disk F:"

The fist couple of hundred times it did this I put up with it but to be honest it is really starting to give me the sh1ts. Has anyone worked out how to prevent this annoying Vista "feature". Disabling the redayboost service has not helped.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tnyynt:
Backup everything from Internal Storage, format internal storage from withing Windows Mobile, copy everything back to Internal Storage from backup and make sure you use the "Safely remove..." feature in Vista from now on and not just unplug the device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] logger:
Thanks tnyynt. Just using the Safely Remove feature has seemingly fixed it. I have been putting up for that for about 6 months now and such a simple fix. Thank you....
[G1 Apps and Games] mlevin:
Has anyone had any problems with the Bank of America app?

I just downloaded it and I'm unable to sign in. It asks me for my ID, my secret questions (mother's maiden name, etc.) and my passcode, but after that it says "We were unable to sign you in to Mobile Banking. Please visit Online Banking from a desktop or laptop computer to resolve the issue."

I'm able to log into the normal website with no problems.

BofA tech support was useless (they just told me to clear my cookies). When that didn't work, they told me to call T-Mobile. Of course T-Mobile isn't going to support BofA's app.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] xyrcncp:
I just logged in to my account just fine. Have you upgraded to version 2.0?
[G1 Apps and Games] mlevin:
I never had the app installed before yesterday, so I'm assuming I have the most recent version.
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
Have you tried accessing mobile banking via the browser first? See if you can get in there? The link is:

https://www.bankofamerica.com/mobile/richui.do#_home

If it gives the same error, you may need to activate something in online banking first - or contact CS - the online live chat works really nicely.
[Wing, P4350 General] GBALLS:
i installed an htc rom on my phone...its pretty cool but whenever i try to open a music or video file my phone freezez!..

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS???

thanks
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
Which ROM did you install and is it for the wing/herald? And the image (HERAIMG.nbh) might be corrupt... Did you try a hard reset?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bfi2906:
I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I also hope I get the terminology right - but apologies if I don't.

I'm trying to change the appearance of my HD so the image on the home screen is visible behind the tabs at the bottom of the TF3D screen. I've installed Singh's transparent slider. I've installed the associated "fix". I've installed "no curtains".

What I now have is a clean screen (as I want it), the "box" around the icons at the bottom of the screen appear to be translucent, but I can't get rid of the black band that runs the width of the screen, behind those icons.

How do I get the image that covers most of the screen, to be visible behind the icons.

I hope that makes sense. Is there a tool or .cab that does this?

Sorry for my very basic understanding.
[Touch HD General] Ekin4112:
I know this has came up before but i am not sure if this is solved.

I download the gyrator and everything is fine. However whenever I lock the phone I can rotate the TF3D screen. Once it is in landscape mode, half of the screen is mess up. Is there any instruction to disable rotation when the phone is locked?

thanks for advice in advance.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Same here , I couldnt find out HOW
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
I'm not sure even where to begin (please use search as this has been solved like 5 times over; not that it was really a problem to begin with, just an issue). But to save you time this once (SEARCH) here's a couple options.

If you want to keep using Gyrator: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=448141 (that itself has two different solutions, one applied to probably what you have done and have auto-rotate everything and then exclude certain things and the other is rotate only things which you want rotated (probably better, definitally safer and less buggy)).

Furthermore you can change from Gyrator to Gsen or ChangeScreen(probably better as it's dumbed down and made really simple but still very effective) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468488&highlight=rotate

Lastly (not really, I just don't feel like typing more) you can change your ROM to Dutty's as it runs on the new manila v3 which allows for landscape rotation (Dutty's is not the only ROM that has it, so once again, you have choices here as well).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=483822

Hope it helps
[Touch HD General] Ekin4112:
thanks for the info
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
My problem is with manilla not gyrator.. Manilla acts weird when in landscape mode.However i dont feel like changing my ROM as I am happy with it. I couldnt find a way to install manilla without flashing.
[Touch HD General] shuflie:
You need to set Gyrator so it doesn't rotate in the lock screen, manilla should already be disabled but when the phone is locked manilla is not the foremost app anymore. To do this add a new event above Rotate, Edit the event and call it something like Disable (Lock), set the Application to Dialog, set orentation to portrait, set Actions to Rotate screen. Click apply then Click and hold the new event and set it as Orientation and click apply again. This will also stop your email from auto rotating in message view, but if you go to landscape in the list view you can still work in landscape for email and SMS.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
I already did so, thank you. But I really wanted to get manilla working in landscape mode with the standard ROM. I saw it working fine with other cooked ROMs but not with mine. The only way to solve this is to flash with a newer ROM ? Or there is a cab to solve this issue ?
[Touch HD General] this_mike:
New rom

Hi there, I believe your problem stems from the fact that your version of manila does not support landscape viewing. Having tried a few things with varying success, I flashed to Duttys 2.1 rom and am glad to have done so. It's a far superior experience with hugely improved notifications, faster response times, more storage space free on the HD itself and it also rotates manila without glitching the backgrounds.

I recommend you try it :-)
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Actually the dealer told me that I would lose the warranty if I flash the device with non official ROM. Also my ROM is not found on the internet ( 1.14.488.3 WWE )
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
no current stock rom runs on manila v3 and therefore no stock rom supports landscape. In order to avoid voiding warranty, you can flash the rom using USPL (keeps original SPL) and then before sanding your phone in for w/e reason you simply flash back to original rom (by either backing yours up or chances are it's already posted in the wiki ROM section as they have most of them). If you were to send in the phone with a none stock rom, they may or may not refuse to fix it because technically you have voided the warranty (but if you flash it back to original rom using USPL, then they have no idea)

Hi

I wondering if someone knows how to watch tv on Xperia?

Cause I seen that they have create iPlayer for Xperia. Read please the link.

http://www.xperiax1.net/Latest/bbc-iplayer-comes-to-xperia-x1.html

I use KPN network and have free internet and streaming. Can i use a tv application for my Xperia so I can watch tv without payin for application?
[XPERIA X1 General] jagger2k:
Try this:

http://www.diamondtv.fr/

It had a fair few channels from all over the world. Even some porn ones.
[XPERIA X1 General] lakeside00:
you could use tvuplayer for windows mobile

http://pages.tvunetworks.com/labs/mobile.html
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
tvu mobile? .. thats amazing :P!!! ... do u guys think there is gonna be a problem with the provider though? Because even though I am on a unlimited data plan with Vodafone UK - I think the small print does say something about "reasonable amount of usage" bla bla max. 200 mb a month (could that be right?) .. so basically if you stream 90 minutes of premierleague I guess u d exceed that fairly quickly ..

what are your thoughts?
[XPERIA X1 General] deepmenace:
yeah - the "unlimited" thing basically means "unlimited web browsing" - i.e. streaming isn't included.

it's the same as anything like this - if you do a bit of streaming and end up with 225mb of usuage they probably wont bill you, if you managed 400mb they might not but you never know....just covering themselves i think.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
VodaUK is 500mb fair use. Most likely if you go over you'll get a letter (or the speed will be reduced), do it again and they'll remove the package.

There is also a chance that you could even be billed at £2/mb for each over the allowance.

[XPERIA X1 General] kleineyetie:
SPB TV works great on X1.

Limited channels but great choice.

News ,music,sports...
[XPERIA X1 General] pikipirs:
If you're unlimited, they are not going to charge you for overusing, unless it says so explicitly in the contract. What they might do is they might ask you to hold your horses a little more. They might also just silently get rid of you, stating some obscure reason for termination (and charging you termination fees). Happened to me with a (Vodafone based) provider.
[XPERIA X1 General] wazaaappp:
sorry... do u know if spb tv has more channels than spb online? :o
[XPERIA X1 General] ijob:
One of the must annoying things about mobile tv is Sky News only brodcasting the lnews headlines over and over again! ie, its not really live, its a news loop
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
there is a free software in the general development section called webtv, it has over 1000 channels, not sure if the ones your looking for are included but worth having a look as it is free

Hi ,the SlingPlayer is perfect more then 800 channels, the same Tv channels I've got at home connected with the Slimbox ,and the Skybox £120, you need wireless router £120 I watch my channels tv in London from Tenerife, Sardinia, Paris...more or less all over in the world. Then SPB Online £ 25 less channels 25/30 with italian channels like Rainews24, sport ecc. and Pocket Tv but this one is a bit crap. The best for me is the SlingPlayer.Ciao

Would it be possible to make panels that are dedicated to certain apps like core player or morphgear which could then take advantage of the graphics via the new sdk? Would be a lot better if we could get some use out of the ati graphics...or would it not work like that. I tried searching on google but couldnt find much.

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/newsandevents/latestnews/newsfeb09/p_xperia_sdk_opengles_update.jsp
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Afaik, hardware acceleration can only be achieved if the software developer gets the info they need from Qualcomm. Coreplayer is still working on it and morphgear.. don't count on it.

The panels won't be able to help here, you can have the panel itself accelerated, but not the app running inside.
[XPERIA X1 General] fracmo2000:
hey Angelusz, sorry about not replying sooner mate!

This driver thing is a serious problem...if I knew how crippled the x1 was...I dont think i would have purchased it.

The new 3d game by sony is, lets be honset, ****e. I have more fun playing emulated games and these fancy 3d ones with zero playability. I just wish that we could make the x1 as good as it should be.

Is there word/hope that this could be fixed? Are there guys in other parts of xda working on a fix...which could also help us x1 users?
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Some 3d performance increased can be achieved through installing other drivers (for instance the omnia's, diamond's, or better yet the Rhodium's.

2d.. I have no idea how to work that out though. It's a problem all MSMxxxx CPU's from Qualcomm have, including the diamond, touch pro and touch HD. I'm not sure about the Rhodium and Blue Topaz, but I'm guessing they're using the same chip as the X1 and touch HD.
[XPERIA X1 General] fracmo2000:
Would it be possible for some clever guys(s) to make a driver from scratch? I noticed a post in offering a bounty for the first person to achieve the goal would get all the $$$. Cause I know that a lot of x1 owners (and prob other htc users) would all chip in for such a worthy cause.

...or should I just face facts that its never gonna happen :confused:

Thanks for replying to all my questions, im new to the ppc thing and still cant get my head round the fact that they have crippled our phone. Games on the iphone look upto psp standards!

If you did install a theme which theme is it?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] AGx-07_162:
Since the Screenshot App refused to work for me (>_>) I had to find a different way to do it which many of you probably already know about and is the way all those websites obtained screenshots of the G1 before release.

You can do it via a tool in the SDK called DDMS. You need to have the JDK installed first! You need to have your G1 plugged in via USB (but not mounted). Enable Debugging in the Settings > Applications menu and then you can open up DDMS. Once it starts select your device from the menu on the left (yours should be the only one and you really dont have to select anything. Then simply press CTRL+S and your screenshot is taken. A new window will open asking you to save, cancel, etc. It saves it in .png format in a location of your choice.

Just thought I would share.

Also, worth mentioning. The site I got this information from suddests having a IDE installed but I didnt and it worked just fine. Dont ask me what an IDE is cuz I dont know >_>

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] AGx-07_162:
As I said I'm sure you all have known about this. To answer, yes I did search but didn't find anything on Xda but found it on google. I had mentioned previously about the Screenshot app not working for me (kept saying a file was missing) and no one mentioned an alternate method. Again, I was fairly sure everyone already knew about this but I still felt it worth mentioning for those like myself who may not have known.
