[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Again is there a iptable soulution to the G1? Is it already in there or does one need to put in Debian 1st?

Also OP is a she btw ;)

While Im happy finally getting some discussion in here. Would be better to focus more on the prevention of ads or firewall type setups for the G1 vs trying to figure out who is right or wrong. I know personally I can wiki, google for that info. Which that being said. Host files has my win... Ive had them running on my router, (Linux based), my PC etc. Not in a long time have I seen spyware or banners on my PC or devices. Cause indeed they get blocked. Doesnt stop the "request" but does prevent it from loading outside servers. Issue here I did notice on both the router and PC. Too many addresses in the hosts file slows up the PC some, The router it defiantly did unless you have the extra sd support for cache. So its logical to assume the G1 "could" in time get bogged down.

Iptables, sure is very nice. No disputing that, however not everyone would understand how to set one up. (You know how everyone loves automation) I know I could do it if needed. But then thats why I asked if I needed Debian or not. =)

Anyways.. heh.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
You really don't get it, and yelling just makes you look desperate, the original poster asked if there was a way to block ads in apps.

Shazam is a perfect example, it uses some kind of html frame to display it's ads and simply blocking the IP or hostname to try and get rid of the ads being displayed won't get rid of the android error page from being displayed.

As I've tried to explain before, the only way to get rid of the android error page and the ads is to redirect the connection to some webserver that can serve up a simple html/css page that will appear transparent.

Neither blocking in IPtables nor redirecting the connection to localhost will get rid of this problem on it's own.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
I'm guessing the iptables solution would possibly slow things down even more if it was loaded with an equal amount of host IPs, the response here will be to load single IPs per app, but that will entail a lot of work tailoring specific IPs to block on a per app basis and I really can't be bothered going to all that trouble when most accounts of using the hosts file to block ads has sped things up for people, not slowed them down.

What's debian got to do with it?

Android is based on linux and certain builds like JF's etc come with it and the kernel modules needed to implement it.

However as I said before, as far as I'm aware there is no slow down with using the hosts file method, but loading iptables up with an equal number of hosts is likely to be adverse, and to come to some sort of middle ground with iptables blocking IPs on a per app basis seems to be a LOT of extra work for no gain at this point in time.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Thanks, wasnt 100% sure what JF had included as far as linux went. I guess its a matter of time before someone makes that iptable app.

But I still wonder.. both hosts and iptables, if tethering will follow those rules, cause that alone could be very useful.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
It won't slow anything down, it is very efficient and right at the kernel level. It is already there, just no GUI to manage it.

Write your rules as I have provided instructions, and you can put them all into a script, that way you can easily launch the script to reestablish all the rules as needed (reboot) -- there are even apps on the market for running a script, so with that, you can have a button on one of your desktops to enable/disable blocking at will.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
You know, when I have the time, I just might want to write a firewall app for manipulating iptables.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
There is a reason ISPs don't block DoS attacks more, overloading their routers and such with excessive amounts of firewall rules slows them down, so yes using iptables with a large enough set of filtering rules would slow the phone down.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Only if you're a retard with your rules and load it with thousands....

please show respect for each other here....you have been warned.

thank you

mods are like buses....we all turn up together :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
So which dev will be the 1st to make a market app for firewall stuff? =D I wouldnt know how long it would take to port one or make a new one. Would be nice to have tho.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
The senior tag is simply due to 100+ posts.

My replies have been polite and rational, there is only one person making personal attacks so far in this thread.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
I'm still not seeing a point in making one, using the hosts file to redirect connections is working just fine for me, and there is about 17,500 hostnames so far and no performance impacts, infact most claim that it speeds up browsing/apps. I doubt iptables would be able to handle so many without having performance issues.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Just because its not the type of app that "everyone" would use. It would still be a welcome addition to those who would like more specific control on things in a easier gui. Put it this way, having the app out there wouldnt hurt the G1 community any. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Nobody asked your opinion on anything, and you have yet to offer ANY useful information, so why don't you go troll somewhere else.

Oh, and just for your information, if you read the thread title, it specifically asks for a FIREWALL, not a hosts file.
[G1 Apps and Games] ramontrotman:
perhaps the first warning wasn't enough? I am not willing to single any one out, just cut it out! you can consider this a second warning. Do not let there be a third.

Wow, those extra warnings saved both of you from the 3 Day Boot Camp i was wearing.

As publicly going into a warning from a Moderator (okay it was me, it might look biased) ussually lands people getting waterboarded in Quatanomo Ban.

Can anyone using the official R3 rom make a cab of the new official media panel. The beta media panel cab that has been floating out for a while does not work with the new official panel manager and only works with the beta panel manager.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Seems to be the old one. The one that I have from the leaked "former R3A" is build R27_35200.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] CowMix:
Its the newest stable version of the media panel from the recent official sony r3 release, its much faster then the original media panel that came with the x1. It is an older version then the beta r3a release tho, but the beta release was pretty buggy for me

to clarify

Media Panel Releases:

1) Stock Media Panel

2) Leaked R3A (now R4A, I'd guess) Media Panel

3) Official R3A Media Panel <-- this is the cab agent_47 made

i am living in uk and i have tried to update my xperia via update service but it still says r2a is the latest , am i missing something in my xperia because every where i search 31 may there was a release of r3a but my phone doesn't update?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] banni89:
I have heard of some people having the same problem when updating from R1A to R2A.. Bug in the update service.. If it says something like: You have the latest ROM/version installed, but still update? Then press yes, and it will give you R3A... At least thats what they did last time, and it worked for them..

[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
So I've been reading the "let us file a complain to SE..." thread lately cuz well...you guess it...my phone developed a crack.

Anyway, I did see that some people have been getting "reconditioned units" that look worse than the ones they already have.

So, how many of you guys have had problems with the service offered by SE/Authorized dealers?
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Really interested in this poll, since I just let my X1 to an authorized center...

However, I must admit that I am really unsatisfied with the repai time: they told me that I have to wait 15 working days! Man, what was the premium price for?!
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
I sent my phone in Tuesday and they still haven't received the phone even though the service center is 35miles away from here...

Add 3-5 working days to get my phone fixed plus another week to get my phone back...so I think I'm there as well
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
I got back the same phone after I sent it in for a software glitch that I failed repairing myself. It got back in exactly the same condition and earlier than I had thought.
[XPERIA X1 General] yodafone:
My X1's screen started blacking out when slid open, so I reluctantly sent it in, having heard a lot about cracked plastics and scratched battery covers.

I got it back in just 3 days, which is apparently unusual even for SE service here. No extra scratches or damage.

Oh, and they didn't notice the Hard-SPL... :D
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Well - i got my replacement through vodafone so it doesnt really count
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
Reading some of the Dutch Forums (e.g. tweakers.net), the average time is 6 weeks for Netherlands. Some poor guy waited 19 weeks.

http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1326523/20

That's almost HALF A YEAR. :mad:

Mine had stylus crack, battery crack, chipped case in three places.

4 weeks since I sent it in, and counting..
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
OMFG!

How is that possible???

Jeez man...4 weeks? How is it that you haven't killed them already?

If I don't have it by the end of next week I'm gonna drive there myself and have a talk with them...
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
wow....this is pathetic.

some of the buttons arent working smoothly these days..which means i am screwed if i send it for repair

[XPERIA X1 General] human75:
I sent my x1 to service because left-right buttons plus all other front buttons and touchpad were getting dead.i have to wait 15 min and reset phone 5 or 10 times to get device normal.f*ck sake!i am on contract with my service provider.they said i must wait minimum 2weeks just for answer REPAIR or Change.afterwards i must wait another 2weeks for repair or get new unit.i am gonna have big fight with SE.i am very disapointed.i am not gonna buy any other sony products even sony movies films:-)
[XPERIA X1 General] MAkS1:
I went to a Vodafone store with repair service. Somehow they are authorized to repair phones for warranty. I only had to show my phone, they ordered the parts and they texted me when they received the parts. Then I could wait for it on location while they repaired my phone. I think that's a great service but it's more thanks to Vodafone. I live in the Netherlands, The Hague.
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Hmmm, yes, so:

- SE repair service sucks

- Vodafone is great

But I really think that 4weeks is the maxiimum amout of time I would wait for a repair, not just a phone repair but whatever else. Never experienced a repair time longer than 4 weeks, and I would have been really upset hearing about 19 weeks!!!

But what about the repaired phone? Apart from Vodafone people, in ehat condition were your "new" phone? can you be more verbose than the poll?
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
Hmmm, u were lucky. This is what the Netherlands is like most of the time :) Mine was out of contract, but the problem is not the shop I went through in Rotterdam - been getting my phones from them for a few years now. I suspect it's the guys in NL who bought the service contract from Sony.
[XPERIA X1 General] MAkS1:
Perfectly repaired, but unfortunately now, a month later, I have 3 cracks. The parts are in so I have to go to the store again. I don't want to go to the store twice every month...:mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] jumper0:
Well,

I brought my phone to an SE Service Center around my Corner. The Display shaked a little. I brought it in on the 7.5.09

Those guys sent the phone to the Xperia guys. Seems that only some people can fix it.

Well, I have not got it back yet. :-(

So I called the Xperia line. The told me, that they did not received it yet...

But the guy was friendly. He is now starting to find my phone. We will see what happens.

Cheers

SONYERICSSON or a Network Provider???

Come on, in order for this poll to have any impact or make any sense, it should include at least WHICH Country and if SE direct or through a Service/Network Provider! Otherwise its just hot air! ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] ijob:
I waited 5/6 weeks for my replacement to arrive aftre the sound went completely.

After SE took delivery initially I received an email to let me know it had arrived. Then nothing for a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and so on and so on.

The tracking website was never updated and I never received emails updating me on the progress. I phoned them all the time.

After 5/6 weeks I received a refurbished phone which [TBH] is in better condition than the phone I sent for repair, no consolation really.
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
Yea...WHAT tracking site? They never even acknowledged the fact that they received it. I had to phone today, to find out they got it on Friday. Even though I ASKED to be informed when they would actually get it...nada.

Anyway, when I talked to the representative and told him I want my phone repaired not replaced (because mine is scratch free and in perfect condition otherwise) he was like..."OH...we'll see what we can do"

People, how hard is to replace a back cover???

But I suppose it's good business taking good scratch free phones and replacing them with "functionally equivalent" but with cosmetic damaged ones...

@michaelthemage

The poll specifies

SE Service

.

And how many countried would you have included in the poll?

In my opinion, in makes no relevance what country you are in (even though I KNOW there are big differences between SE service centers). SE Service is a global thing, having an international warranty (at least European for me) so in my opinion the quality of their services should be viewed as a whole.

I for one bought my phone in France but since I'm doing an internship in the UK I sent it to Banbury.

So I do think the poll does make sense and I give thanks to all who have voted/will vote and who told me their SE related stories.
[XPERIA X1 General] bnaut:
I got a global warranty card with my phone but it wasn't much help when my screen died. It is supposed to be a vip service for X1 owners where you can get a replacement phone the same day at any SE service center. Not quite. If you're in a place where they don't sell it, don't expect SE in your home country to send one to the service center you're visiting, they will not, period. And if you look close at the support site there's a somewhat hidden page that shows country by country what is (not-) available.

I shipped it off with fedex to the dealer, who said they will send one in return asap if I paid the courier. It cost me about 100 usd. When they received it, they changed their mind and said they needed the original box and booklets... and they couldn't just replace the phone (ten days since I bought it) and let me send the stuff when I returned home. Cheers...

That said, when I could deliver the box I got a new phone right away from the dealer. SE had no desire to help at all.

I don't like buying phones from operators, rather be free to choose who bills me for the calls, but if the operators service team are better at customer care, I may just do that next time.

Anyone in singapore received a refurb? Im thinking of getting mine changed
[XPERIA X1 General] buzz83:
Went directly though SE for repair each time. They sent it to a company called FoneBiz.

So far my X1 has been there 5 times and it is going back tomorrow.

Started off with a crack below the volume button.

They fixed it, but cracked the chrome strip in the process.

Second trip: Repaired the chrome strip but dropped my X1 and badly grazed it all over. Tried to align my screen with the tip of a pen :S

Third trip: Completely new housing and screen, still original phone, but all seemed ok.

A month later... there was another crack below the volume button and a fine crack in the chrome strip. My slider had also become very loose and had marked my keyboard.

Forth trip: Repaired crack near volume button, but didn't fix the one on the chrome strip, the keyboard or slider. They also scratched my battery cover fairly badly.

Fifth time: New keyboard, fixed slider. Didn't fix chrome... apparently replaced battery cover, but the new one is scratched worse than the old one.

So off it goes again tomorrow. I have been talking to SE and they will send someone to oversee the 6th repair of my phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
Lol...i should have started this thread after I would have received my handset back... I'm getting pretty nervous about the condition I would get it back in. Not to mention SE is not providing me with any status updates...
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i got a new phone. they did try and charge me foe repair (but this was the company sony uses in the uk, after talking to sony i got a new phone without any charge).

i think sony has done a good job replacing the phones (in the uk at least) after the cracks started appearing (which was htc fault not sonys).

i think htc is not a great company, i will admit they make nice phones but a problem like this should have never happened and thats why sony is not using them and are probally using foxconn which is a lot bigger and have a very good track record (iphone, ipod etc, a long list).

Any way to get the mail tab to download incoming mail without having to log on to Windows live?

Don't know what happened, but any time I need to check the mail, I have to log into Live, then go to the tab and then send/receive.

Comes a couple of hours, and I need to check mail again (I don't have data plan, so I use wifi), I need to log back in to Live before I send/receive in the TF3D tab.

I'm confused and don't know wat to do.

I cracked ROM with HardSPL and put WinMo 6.5. everything worked well! then I tried to install Manila 2D. It requested a restart and that's it!.

It shows "smart mobility", then the orange booting screen with Windows logo, sounds a beep and switches off.

1) I tried to do Hard reset (with both buttons + stylus) = same thing (shows the resetting bar, requests restart, "smart mobility"-> orange booting screen with Windows logo -> beep -> goes off.

2) I tried with "POLAIMG.nbh" on my FAT32 SDcard = blinks the 3-colorscreen for 1/10 second, restarts -> "smart mobility"-> orange booting screen with Windows logo -> beep -> goes off.

I hawe not even the possibility to connect it via USB to my PC to see what could be the couse or something...

Any idea?
