I have an xperia x1a on ATT. You should be able to send MMS without a data plan. SMS/MMS are bundled as a messaging plan. They are not considered data. Data is considered internet or emails. MMS can be sent using edge, 3G isn't required. Since MMS is not considered data, it can not be sent through WIFI. No plans are required to send MMS, emails or use the internet, however you will pay per use on these. It is much more cost effective to get a messaging or data plan.

Hi,my brother brought me a G1 from china which says T-Mobile both on the phone and the box etc,Anyway the phone was english when he gave it to me and i installed a bunch of apps games etc since i was excited with my new gadget,then i ran out of space and decided to do a default restore instead of uninstalling everything. After the restore the phone turned to chinese 0.o ? and there is no option to switch to English on the menus..

I just want it to be English like i had it before,is there a patch i can use? phone is already kila-user 1.5 CRB21 so i dont want to get into flashing roms etc if possible. Can anyone help me find that patch or do i have to flash it with a US rom or something?

wiping everything? It was a lot of effort to unlock it, flash a custom rom and get everything working so if I put it up for sale locally I'd like to be able to demo some cool programs and features and possibly pull my sim chip and hand it over.

I realize that my purchased apps are probably not transferable but is it just a matter of entering a new Gmail account to sync with? I don't actually sync my mail, only contacts but I'd like to know how to clear things like the call log, etc.

Thanks,

Terry

p.s. the phone is lovely and I'll probably never use even half the features but it doesn't make a very good e-book reader. Unless there is a way to remap the keys? In portrait mode I find pushing the screen up very annoying - it hides the text and in open keyboard mode the key substitutes for page down don't work in the reader programs I've tried.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenericNode:
Wiping the phone will not remove the rooted ROM. It will just delete the apps/settings, which whoever get's it can download from the marketplace anyways.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
the easiest way would be to wipe it, but you can always go to manage applications and clear the cache of each app(might take a while but should work). and then you can go to your call log and hit menu to clear the log out, and the same with SMS. should work but since i would just wipe it myself idk.

p.s. wiping wouldn't get rid of the custom ROM you installed, and it shouldn't get rid of the SIM unlock
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terryowen:
I didn't think wiping would mess up the custom rom or the unlock - I was mainly thinking about how much work it was to get everything to this point, including the installed apps. I paid for them, I may as well use them until I sell it and that they would make a good sales prop doesn't hurt. But if they disappear when the unit is wiped, that wouldn't be my first choice of how to go about it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
I'm enjoying the new roms that are coming out, each one is better than the last, and I've tried just about every one of them. That being said I am still having a few problems with the g1. When I boot using (home+power) I see this at the top of the screen "E:can't open /cache/recovery/command" I've tried updating to cyanogens newest recovery console and it didn't change anything that I could tell, I can't even alt+X to get a prompt, this text at the top could be the reason why. I'm sure I have messed something up but honestly after 2 days of searching I am still no better off than I was before. Also, I cannot get my sd card to work properly. I've tried every way on earth to format the sd card to attempt to get 3 partitions. When I do this, I either cannot install update.zip to the fat32 part, due to the recovery screen not seeing anything on the card ("update.zip not found") or I end up boot-looping after the HERO screen. I'd like someone to help me start this over again. I've used all the different roms out there, I just want to get my SD card properly formatted so my HERO rom will use the swapfile and ext2/3 the right way. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've followed the "step by step" guides in this forum and to my knowledge I've done everything right a few times over. I used paragon to attempt to set up the sd card, and I was using the correct radio/spl for each rom I attempted to use. It also might help if I mentioned after re-installing the Cyanogen's recovery img, I saw no change in the (home+power) screen. If you need more details from me PLEASE don't hesitate to ask me, I just want to get my phone set up the right way so I can install all my apps and not have to stay in the habit of flashing my phone 5+/- times per day:p which is cool but getting old fast! So please help >.< :eek:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breakthecycle2:
You need to reformat your SD card. That message means nothing. I had that before.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
I have reformat the card over ten times now. I've tried using the paragon method, did it exactly as the guide said, I got boot loop and had to reformat the card back to fat 32 so i could even boot to hero. I still cannot use alt+x to access anything from the recovery screen either.

Tried using that command first and using those 3 commands again. Nothing happened other than when I load into recovery menu, I see Android recovery menu, test keys, then I get the same E:can't open /cache/recovery/command error as I was before. I'm still having SD card issues too. I can't seem to get this to work right, no matter how many times i read a "how to do xxxx" :mad:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willworkforart:
The "E:can't open..." is referring to the Nandroid backup- I had the same problem too and everyone thought I was crazy. This may be preventing you from updating to the cyanogen recovery.

When I rooted my phone I went directly to JF1.5 which does not have nandroid in it. To solve it, I flashed the previous JF (1.43?) and that went away.

Give that a try and then flash the cyanogen recovery. Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratcom:
I had the the same problem mate! here is what I did to fix it....

1....format card to fat 32 (make sure you dont have any other partitions on your card!)

2....go here and download the "update.zip" version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523558

3....rename and flash the file in the normal way!

4....enjoy!

p.s. make sure you sdcard is freshly formatted and as only a single fat32 partition.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
attempted that last suggestion twice before I posted here that it unfortunately didn't solve the issue :( I still get the same E:can't open /cache/recovery/command error i've been getting and cannot install cyanogen's recovery image.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
I'm pretty sure that the error message I've been getting is the only reason I'm having these issues. IF I could use cyanogen's recovery, I could follow the exact guidelines here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533731

Since I cannot do the " How to install custom ROM (With full wipe)" part of the guide, I think that is where my issues with SD partitions working properly within the ROM.

^ It went back to the command prompt without an error, and this time after typing all three lines of code, and rebooting the phone to check the recovery menu, the error was still there as if I had done nothing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temporizer:
how were you able to update to cyanogen's recovery if you can't get into recovery in the first place? or did i read that wrong?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
When I flash the Cyanogen's recovery, its as if it did nothing, I'm assuming from what I read it would add more functions to the screen or it would be obvious that it did something. I thought that if that had flashed correctly I would be able to use alt+X to open a prompt. I could be completely misunderstanding what it is supposed to do, but I don't know I thought I was more sure of what I read :confused:

I thought my error message at the top of the screen (after home+power) was what was preventing me from installing the recovery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:

Alright, I have my sd card split 3 ways now using acronis, I have 3 primary partitions: FAT32,EXT2,LINUXSWAP, so all i should have to do now is pick the rom of my choice and flash it, and the rom should use the linux swap automatically for swapper if it supports that feature right? ex. one of the many hero roms with swapping support???:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temporizer:
first, when you split your partitions, did you make sure they were formatted in the designated file system?

second, for cyanogenmod 3.6.5, everytime it boots up it looks for and runs, if it exists,

system/sd/userinit.sh
[code]

which i have attached.

for other roms, you would have to run userinit.sh manually upon reboot.

you have to give it execution permissions first of all, you only do this once.

[code]
su
chmod 555 path/to/userinit.sh

to run it

su
sh path/to/userinit.sh

i hope this helps.

Came across this error recently on my HTC Desire. The result of which is some rom will flash while others wont. In my case, a bug in AdamG Oxygen 2.0 RC4 deleted all the files in the root folder of my microSD card, including the very important update.zip which enable Clockwork Mod Recovery (?), to manually select and flash any zip rom file. Fortunately, I still have my Gold Card which I use to copy the update.zip file over to my regular card via adapter/card reader.

Reboot > Recovery > choose update.zip which boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery > select new rom > Reboot.

The correct update.zip can be download from koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries

Hope this will help some people.

I just noticed that ZAGG have released an invisibleSHIELD for the Touch Pro 2.

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Just wondering if anyone has it and could comment on it.

Also, the TP2 has an existing plastic cover on the battery cover (look around the volume rocker to see it) and I was wondering how the invisibleSHIELD interacts with this. Should we remove the existing one? or is it designed to go over the existing one?

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dazultra2000:
I think you'll find that the "shield" built in is actually just part of the back cover. Try and peel it off. It's not going anywhere. Invisible Shield should fit right over it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gringolian:
i have the invisible shield on mine, and i have to say i'm not impressed. it is probably mainly due to the way i installed it, but it just doesn't seem to fit all that well. the worst area is at the very left and righ of the screen where it meets the chrome area and wraps around. there is a very slight ridge, and no matter how hard i try i can't get rid of the air bubble running along these edges. it is very small, but considering the invisible shield only protects the top half of the chromed area, i think i'm going to get rid of the front part andx replace it with a martin fields screen protector and leave the back invisible shield part on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Axeslocked:
Does the invisible shield actually change the way you use the sylus?

Like I have seen phones where you had to press extra hard after installing the protector
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gringolian:
Not from the point of view of how hard you have to press, but it does have a "grippy" quality that means the stylus doesn't glide across the screen as easily, and quite often jumps around. Try dragging your finger or stylus across a soft rubber surface and you'll get the idea!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] quarintus:
Reading you reaction's this invisible shield doesn't seem all that great...

Looks like it, i use the brando ultra clear, this one is great.. fits perfectly and is very smooth with stylus and finger use!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Supertrooper:
Yep, my Zagg should be here anyday now. I have used them before and I'm not to impressed with the rubber feel of it. But I guess you have to sacrifice a good feel and good stylus slide for a scratch free device. :rolleyes:

There is nothing I hate more than a scratched up device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] diogoperas:
The feel with the martin fields screen protector is supperb. Seriously, i prefer to use the stylus with it. Just one complaint about that, it reduces the bright like 10%. Not a big deal anyways.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] i<3myphone:
So once you apply one of these "shields" ---and suppose you don't like it...can you remove them? What effect does it have on your phone? I have never used a screen protector or a shield, so bare with me on this type of q. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] i<3myphone:
deleted. duplicate
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gringolian:
Yes they can be removed, and shouldn't leave any kind of residue on the phone. I've always had a screen protector of one kind or another on my phones purely because with te way I use and carry them, they inevitably end up scratched, so I'd rather it was just a cheap bit of plastic that I can easily replace taking the abuse than the screen itself!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Supertrooper:
If you put the full body protector on correctly, take your time and don't get in a hurry. It will really be worth it, especially for protecting this high dollar of a phone. For me it gives me better grip so the phone wont slide out of your hands, plus you can put it in your pocket with keys and coins and it will still come out scratch free. But the only downfall is the sleek feel of the screen during finger/stylus swipes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SEQ:
What I did was just applied the back cover portion. I uses the Brando Crystal Clear Screen Protector for the screen only. I have a better grip to the phone and still have the smooth finger swipes on the screen. I can freely leave it on any surfaces in peace of mind knowing that the back of the phone is well protected. But the only downside of it is, the edges of the films will for sure collect dusts and it might turn yellow after few months. I misses the sleek feel of the phone in my hand. I might remove it someday... and let it be scratched, then just buy a back cover to replace it.
