Hey All, I've have recently flashed Touch-it V4 to my Xperia, but now the clock keeps on randomly changing the time on me. Usually puts it out by an hour, or sometimes 15mins. I've tried putting day light savings time on, selecting my city etc but still randomly changes the time on me.

Also noticed if I set my country, it will randomly change itself as well. Eg. set it to New Zealand, then go back and check and it will be on Fiji??

Anyone know how to fix this?

Is super annoying as messes up my alarms & appointments, nearly missed my flight the other day.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dinan:
Same problem here. Seems to be a TF3D bug. It doesn't seem to recognize daylight savings time. It keeps switching me to the "Bogota, Lima" timezone which is 1 hour behind my real timezone of Eastern Standard (US).

I'll have to use a different panel for now to keep my schedule/alarm on time, probably the SPB Mobile Shell.

Alternatively I could just use "Bogota, Lima" time and set it 1 hour ahead, but then every time I sync the phone, the time will be reset to 1 hour behind and throw my calendars off.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sammiebreezes:
Yea is a right pain, fiddled round with it so much but still can't get it to work
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jbcross:
uGo check your iGo?

I had that problem and found it was iGo set to an incorrect time zone, so each time I started the program it changed the time.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dirran:
I had this problem, it was so anoying with syncing

go to the "settings">select "phone">select the "time zone" tab, and untick automaticly change timezone or whatever.

I have a htc diamond, but should be similar/same as they both WM
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sammiebreezes:
Thanks but mine was alredy unticked?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sammiebreezes:
Where do i find iGo ? Never heard of that
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xylidine99:
try ticking the check mark...it worked for mee and then soft reset
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dinan:
I'm fairly certain it's a TF3D bug and whether or not that option is ticked won't make a difference. If you live in a time zone where they observe daylight savings, touching the time on the TF3D home tab will change your time zone to one that's 1 hour behind. If you go back into your clock settings and set it to the correct time zone, it'll be ok until the next time you press the clock in TF3D.

So the short term solution is to never press the time =)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dgee:
SMS timestamp too

I'm using Touch-It 4.0 II.

I'm also experiencing my time shifting by an hour and that my system clock and alarm settings keeps resetting itself back to Bogota, Lima.

Also, my incoming text messages' timestamp is now always 5 hrs in the past.

Is the clock setting from Touchflo 3D supposed to be aligned with the system clock and alarm settings?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ERWIN CENIZA:
Got the same problem before. Able to fix it by making sure the time settings on my computer where i actively sync my phone are the same. That is time, date, time zone, and if DST settings are checked or not.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sammiebreezes:
Just noticed I get hte msn time stamp problem as well, really random though
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sammiebreezes:
Is def a problem with touchflow, flashed generic rom back & now phone is working fine again :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gregnm369:
+1 on this...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dgee:
Time zone

I read somewhere that the reason text messages were coming in 5 hrs off was that the Rogers tower was doing its own 5 hr timezone offset on the messages so I ended up getting messages with a timestamp of 5 hrs ago. But I never experienced this problem on my Vox so I don't know. I haven't tried to reflash my ROM to a generic and receive text messages either.

Did anyone else notice this SMS timestamp problem only after flashing to a touchflo 3d rom?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sammiebreezes:
Anyone know if this is fixed in touchflow ver 5? Never had the problem with v3
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] israel060708:
try not to run any navigation apps..i found out my garmin always changing my time every timr i start the apps..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aznus:
I ad the same problem

In settings of my navigation (Polish AutoMapa) i can turn off synchronization of my time with gps. (sry 4 my english)
[XPERIA X1 General] rc3ilynt:
I just recently purchased an x1i for what I thought was a bargain price. At half the retail, i got the phone in perfect condition and a charger. i didn't mind back then and have been using the phone on a daily basis and it works great. I never questioned why I just got the phone, seeing how adding a box and manual can't be that hard. I wanted to update my ROM to R2A today and when I took the battery out I noticed for the first time: "Prototype build:AP1" and underneath it "Prototype not for sale". So here's my question, is this a prototype and is it in anyway inferior to a retail model?
[XPERIA X1 General] Fulgore69:
Thats why it was so cheap:D

Mine not say prototype....

But you should not care about that if it works well...And have no cracks:p
[XPERIA X1 General] tehnoobzorz:
prototypes tend to have downgraded hardware than the actual retail
[XPERIA X1 General] azian_advanced:
do you have pics of it? please show them! i'm curious to know if yours has a button on the bottom left corner.. kinda like the camera button but instead it's on the left side. iirc the prototype models had that button and one of the reviewers said it was supposed to be made for switching between landscape/portrait.
[XPERIA X1 General] kbadone:
This is not supposed to be sold! I work there at Sony Ericsson, last time somebody sold a prototype version of a phone he got fired. This guy is either stupid or careless:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] tjex:
Depends how old the prototype is then the hardware might be inferior (less ram). One advantage you have is that your phone is most likely "Security Unlocked"

Have a look at the back, what week was it produced on?

As for the person that sold it, they shouldn't have. It's not meant for resale!

I can confirm that anything above 08W25 is good
[XPERIA X1 General] rc3ilynt:
thanks

thanks for tbe info. mine says 08W26. as for the button to switch between portrait and landscape, it doesn't exist on my x1. The phone is security unlocked. I'll post some pictures up soon.
[XPERIA X1 General] goldenchild7801:
I bought a proto p990i, didnt know it was a proto. I kept it for spare parts since the firmware couldnt be updated. When I used any function besides calling someone it would lock up on me
[XPERIA X1 General] szlevi:
Quite the opposite: SE prototypes ALWAYS have the final HW inside, it's usually the initial sw that's pre-RC - which does not effect him as his most likely been upgraded to MR1 at least...
[XPERIA X1 General] AviatorEkis:
Yes, it is a final prototype for operators to test. This means that it is probably someone outside of SE that has sold it.

It is not inferior in any way, but you can probably not upgrade firmware via SE tools. And you can forget getting help at a SE service location if needed. Some operators also disables the prototype IMEI number in their net after some time, which will make it useless as a phone.

Best thing to do: Turn it in to the nearest SE Service center with details of who sold it. You might be rewarded with a retail X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] szlevi:
False. Login to to Emma and take a look - if you have a real proto with operator test release sw then you can upgrade it, provided you have access to Emma (you're an authorized SE service center, a SE employee or anyone with Emma login.)

False again. They will help you but it won't be free as it's not covoered by warranty - but again, any used phone you buy won't have warranty or max. one year - if it was retail - anyway.

I assume you have link or some other evidence, right?

Because if you don't have I have to call it on its name: baseless rumor, pure FUD.

What an utter nonsense - why would ANYONE give him this entirely malicious advice to GIVE HIS PHONE AWAY, hoping that - even bigger nonsense! - someone willl GIVE HIM A NEW PHONE FOR FREE!!!:rolleyes:

The only thing I can't decide is that whether you're truly believe in this crap or you're just another @ss retailer trying to keep up high prices of his stuff...
[XPERIA X1 General] szlevi:
It can be updated but not by you - bring it to any authorized SE retailer and ask him to log in to Emma and update it - they will probably charge you for it but it's worth the price, trust me.
[XPERIA X1 General] AviatorEkis:
Emma ? How archaic :D

Of course you can fla**** with internal SE tools, but not via Update Service. And sure you can find a service center that does not bother thats it is an AP. But not an SE one.

Again, you can find service centers that does not bother since they will get cash for the job. But not on a SE Service Center.

A link ? Some operators do, others don't. Believe it or not.

Not someone, SE. You know the company that pays rewards for getting help tracking down users and sellers of stolen protos.

Well I don't know anything about you, but if I discover that somthing I bought was stolen goods i'd sure as hell would contact the owner.
[XPERIA X1 General] goldenchild7801:
I got rid of the p990i awhile ago, Im sporting an X1 now:D
[XPERIA X1 General] ell82:
My X1i is also prototype 08W25, and it doesn't have another button, also all hardware is the same as in final device. You can update rom to any in this forum without any problems, of course it also mean you can update to official R2A rom. I had about 5 X1i different prototypes, older and newer (with extra button and without, full ram 288mb and half 128mb and all can be updated to any newest rom available. But for this which have only 128mb ram I recommend R1A rom which have less ram requaiment (ie there is some problems with running some apps on R2A roms after few hours of use on 128mb ram device becouse much ram is missing then).

Edit 1:

Oh, and prototype devices have much better cover/housing, I have mine more then 5 months (and it wasnt new when I bought it) and it still don't have any crack on the cover!
[XPERIA X1 General] szlevi:
:rolleyes: It is not *internal* at all, ask first if you have no clue - any service center with SE connections has - or can have - a login.

As I said, false. Once again: why don't you ask first instead of spreading stupid rumors?

Do you actually know WTF are you talking about? SE service centers are regualr private, authorized 3rd party shops - they are the one who have logins to EMMA.

Stop talking bull when you obviously don't know much about them, please.

Thanks for confirming it's obviously a stupid rumor, nothing else.

Never heard of anything like this - any link?

Let me guess you don't have any...:rolleyes:

You are truly clueless: these are most likely not stolen but sales samples, pal. :D Another newsflash: tracking users are borderline illegal in most countries (unless you have a criminal case and police/court/law is involved.)

Again: why don't you ask before you post silly assumptions as facts?:p

FYI: almost all protos are given away and their owners are free to sell it later. (it isn't nice to sell it when it's still new, khm. :D)

Once retail products are out en masse most protos end up either collect dust on a shelf or end up on eBay.

I'm sure few end up being stolen but they are just like any other phone - nobody traces them down at all unless someone requests it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ismisunderstood:
All;

Have sort of a strange problem; hoping someone can help me sort it out.

Every once and a while (I can't find a set time or schedule or trick to make this work), my 3g / Edge connection dies on me. I still have phone service; still receive texts; just have no access to the internet.

Checking running processes doesn't seem to help, I never see anything taking control. Only way I seem to be able to fix it is a soft reset.

May or may not be related; but I'm also having an issue where if I use the "mute" function in my call status screen, I have to soft reset to use my phone (unless the other party disconnects the call, which releases me...). Really frustrating.

Ideas? Suggestions? Running custom kitchen from ppc; not afraid to re-flash if that'd help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] adoute:
I have found that a certain area (most likely served by one or two towers) that I am in every day causes similar issues. I still have a 3G (HSDPA) connection, but cannot transfer any data. My phone will not fall back to Edge to maintain the data connection, possibly because it still thinks it has a data connection (based on icon status).

I have tried several radios, and the situation is the same. I only have this problem in one specific geographic area, which is why I think it is network related, and not my device.

A quick work around that I have been using is to simply disable 3G (using the comm manager) before I enter the problem area, and re-enable it when I leave the area. The boundaries of the area are very constant. Sometimes, I need to turn the entire radio off (using the comm manager) and back on to fully regain 3G (HSDPA) speeds.

You might want to give the comm manager a try - it is usually much quicker than soft resetting.

You don't happen to live (or travel through) Plymouth, MI, do you?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lino8419:
My phone does this also, what i do is usually just set my phone to flight mode, then back after about 20 sec or so...it works for me...good luck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ismisunderstood:
Title pretty much says it all. I went from the Titan on Sprint to Kaiser on At&T, and I hate the camera app. It's slow; unresponsive; takes shaky photos; and has no option (that I can seem to find) to turn off the sound effects.

Has anyone been able to get a different camera front end on the Kaiser? I would prefer a spin from something like the Titan; but really anything that fixes the above problems is good with me.

Thanks all!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stylez:
The camera sound can be turned off in settings, with regards the shakey open up camera press power button "sleep" 5 secs press power button.

Hi, Hope someone can help.

Sorry if this is covered in another thread - I tried to search and failed.

My HTC Touch Cruise seems to have lost the HTC Today Plug-in.

Where does WM6 store the plugins? I just want to restore the original one that came with the phone. It seems to have been broken when I restored a Sprite Backup.

Do I just need a specific file?

All I've found is freeware links to replacements, but i'd rather avoid any more 3rd party software breaking my phone..

Thanks in advance.

How to Restore HTC Today Plugin

Umm. Sorry - I do know how to make things appear on today if they're available. That's my problem - the plugin is not there in the list.

As it happens I went and got a 3rd party version with extra features, so the problem's sorted, but I'd still like to know what file it was that I had to restore.

Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leegoon84:
Hi I recently upgraded to Vista from XP.

I remember in XP when I connect my diamond via usb Activesync would automatically run and sync the pim data.

however in Vista it seems like I have to connect the phone and then run WMDC in order to connect and sync.

is there a way to make it sync automatically like XP?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jonnrb:
Try reinstalling WMDC. Vista should have it start up every time your phone is connected.

If that doesn't work, try adding WMDC to your Startup folder in the "All Programs" list. This will keep it running in the background but it will sync your phone each time it is connected.

Hope it works!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leegoon84:
WMDC doesn't start automatically when i connect.

if I put WMDC into startup folder it would start but if I close its window (x button right coner)

it'd be off for good (meaning I have to manually run it again to sync)

I do have the sync icon in thee system tray tho.

it just doesn't sync automatically
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jonnrb:
I am perfectly aware of this. It must be a bug in WMDC because I'm on a Mac with VMWare and VMWare will have Windows start up WMDC without a hiccup.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leegoon84:
re installing it for the 3rd time did it, I don't know why but it works now, it syncs automatically 40 seconds after I connect the device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leegoon84:
after reboot it's back to Manual sync ode again..

man, this thing is really frustrating

[Touch CDMA General] tankbusta:
First off I'm just a bit confused on the whole GPS thing. I have all the tutorials and stuff but will the GPS actually work without the data plan? (aGPS).

I have..

Radio: 3.42.50 Bell Radio

ROM: NFS 1.12VZW

I cant seem to pick up any signal at all...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] Spyderekz:
GPS will work with out data plan, but maps are loaded from internet most of the time..

also it *might* pull data, that you shouldnt be charged for, aGPS uses a tower to determin the GPS clock and basicaly jump starts your lock by a min or so. with out it, your phone would search for GPS signals and try to sync its time with it, befor lockign on to all 3.

with aGPS it only uses a tower and 2 others
[Touch CDMA General] jmitr:
Hi Guys,

Here is an excellent article covering gps vrs agps:

http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/gps_vs_agps_a_quick_tutorial.html

As spyderekz said, our Vogues are capable of "stand-alone" gps. Having said that, agps is more accurate.

I am an Airline pilot with Air Canada Jazz, I have tested my gps in the air (with the phone in airplane mode), and the gps was able to lock. GPS sattelites are all numbered, both TomTom and gps viewer (GPS viewer is included in NFSFAN's ROM) display GPS status pages. These pages show how many sattelites you are recieving, and their numbers. Our Aircraft FMS (flight management system) has a similiar page. Both my Vogue and the aircraft picked up the same sattelites (The airplane picked up more, then again, MUCH bigger antenna!!!).

I also live in BC, I have used TomTom driving many mountain passes with no cell phone reception and TT keeps ticking along nicely.

I should add I'm on the Bell network, and Bell has not locked any GPS functions unlike Verizon where users must jump through many hoops to get it working.

Quick question tankbusta, what network are you on?....nerermind, just noticed your Verizon. Have you tried the stock Verizon ROM, complete the agps fix, then flash to NFSFAN's ROM???

If you search the posts, you'll see NFSFAN recommends using your own carriers radio, and letting ALL customizations run when upgrading that radio. As long as Verizon has a 3.xxxx radio, you should be able to use the tutorial to get gps working.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wiseguy-bike:
Hallo,

what can I do to have the following behaviour:

I need to hear an arriving phone call on the mobile device even if I have connectet it to a Headphone (bluetooth or cable). (I often carry the activated bluetooth headphone in my bag but than I don't hear anny call because its only ringing in my headphone)

can anybody help me?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] techntrek:
Several options. The easiest is when you put your BT headphone in your bag, turn it off. Saves your headphone battery, too.

The 2nd option is to disable A2DP on the phone. There are several apps out there that make this easier than going into Settings. I use a Today screen plug-in called A2DP Toggle, www.teksoftco.com, free. But the version I have is buggy.

The 3rd option is to disable BT on the phone, again there are tools out there that make this easier. A2DP Toggle can be set to also disable BT when you turn off A2DP.

I have never heard of a tool that lets you direct specific notifications to the various outputs but it makes perfect sense. There should be lots of options that we just aren't given in WM, like keeping the phone from turning off the backlight during a phone call.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wiseguy-bike:
The problem on this way is, that it takes some time to turn the BT headphone on. So I sometimes lost a call, because I was to slowly...

My BT Headphone has a standby Time from more less 5 days! - so battery is no problem.

The way to disable A2DP brings that I can't use e.g. Voice Command over BT Headphone, isn't it?

So maybe there is no solution for my problem?

(The Athena cant "talk" quit... so I need the Headphone, when I get Calls - I don't like that everybody how is around me hear what the "caller" tells me...)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] techntrek:
Over the weekend I had headphones plugged into my phone with music streaming (via TCPMP) and a call came in. It switched the audio over to the external speakers, then paused it, and played the ring tone over the external speakers.

Just what you wanted, right? I'm using the AP4 ROM, don't know if that is the difference or just using TCPMP.
