[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kersey247:
Hello all,

I have just flashed my X1 with HardSPL so that I can flash with a custom ROM but am now expericing a flickering at the bottom of the screen!!!

The flash didn’t work the first two times I tried it as it got stuck on the coloured bars screen and gave an error message on my pc. I removed the battery and all seemed to be ok but now I’ve got this flashing. Have hard reset a number of times but still no joy…could the flashing have damaged the phone :confused:

Hope I don’t have to return it to Sony Ericsson for repair :(

Any advise guys.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:

I use WMP to play music...I sometimes connect it to my car's audio system to listen to music...

is there any way that I can use gestures to change tracks? maybe by moving my finger a certain way over the capacitive area? it would feel much safer than scrolling to the "music" tab in CHome and changing the song (I'm using 6.5)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Super Octet:
I believe that this feature is already implemented :

Try moving your finger from right to left when the album cover is displayed, it'll play the next track of your playlist.

edit : 'left to right' on the screen
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] amarpatel:
thanks, I'll try that

is there any way to remap the volume buttons for this purpose as well?

Hi.

I bought my new HTC Snap yesterday!

It is a very good phone, but I absolutely need a SSH client on it.

I used PocketPutty on my old TytnII, but it doesn't work on the Snap.

I also need a Microsoft Remote Desktop connection software to connect to Windows clients.

Could you help me please?

Thank you very much!

Bye.

Is there anything out there that can plug up to the car and sync bluetooth with phone to show error codes and what non like a scanner car mechanics have? It would be nice because I work on cars a lot and it would prolly save money because I could just quickly pop up my phone and plug it up on the go to see what is wrong with the car. If anyone could please link me if possible, thx X)
[G1 Apps and Games] rpcameron:
Android currently does not offer USB host support, it would not be able to interface directly with a USB ODB-II adapter. Also, its bluetooth stack only offers audio profiles (headset, hands-free, a2dp, avrcp), although there are some third-party options to change this. However, there is still a lot of work that would be needed to: 1) implement a bluetooth serial protocol to read the raw data from the ODB-II; and, 2) have custom software to allow you to read and display the ODB-II information read from the adapter.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
this should be in the app forum :)

though I do have interest in this as well as OBDI
[G1 Apps and Games] ximonx:
keep an eye out for this : http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth/

I'm sure there are OBD2 bluetooth adapters around
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
The device *does* have a serial RS232 port you know....

http://www.instructables.com/id/Android_G1_Serial_Cable/

** you can leave out the USB parts since that is intended to link up with your computer's USB port.

Along with this, you need the program to read/write the OBD2 commands to the car's computer. FYI OBD2 protocol is very simple, so it wouldn't be much work to implement.

The only issue with doing this is that there is really no need. You would have to carry around the right kind of plug to fit the car anyways, so you might as well pick up a cheap OBD2 scanner device.
[G1 Apps and Games] glock30:
I doubt there are any cars out there with ECUs that have any bluetooth capabilities... Audio systems (where the bluetooth is on cars) will most likely be separate from anything ECU related.... It may be possible, but I doubt it at this point... unless it is some new fancy mercedes/bmw kinda thing.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
You completely missed the point.

The bluetooth interface won't be in the car, it will be a device connected to the OBD port.
[G1 Apps and Games] glock30:
Ahh... guess that makes more sence... looks like I read it wrong.
[G1 Apps and Games] turboyo:
would be pretty bad ass .. and while having access to the obd2 port u can even implement stuff to monitor o2 readings and all sorts of other stuff
[G1 Apps and Games] brandenk:
Im already barking up the same tree on some of my car forums. I see the future being ruled by android phones that are capable of giving you full racing telemetry, at first by log to your computer and eventually in real time info like a set of gauges. I would ideally want to use the OBD2 for the majority of the data logging while overlaying G forces from my phone.

That's awesome! I wouldn't care if it's a serial cable or some bluetooth, just having the ability to not drag my laptop into the car would be useful (I guess my fault for buying a heavy 17")
[G1 Apps and Games] ddukesterman:
I have seen a bluetooth dongle type thing that plugs into the port on the car and it is kinda huge, but idc what the size of the bluetooth adapter is. It is supposed to work for window based systems and also some smart phones. So it may be possible to write something to sync the obd2 bluetooth thing to the phone? And from there decode the data it recieves and place it out to english on the phone?

Open-source linux based OBD GPS Logger

-http://icculus.org/obdgpslogger/

Maybe an easy port? (I am not a coder)
[G1 Apps and Games] closeshave2:
That's pretty nice! Looks like most of the code is written in C and some in C++. It wouldn't be a direct port since Android apps are written in Java, but it might be worth checking out.

I would LOVE to have something like this on my phone!!

** EDIT **

The code is simple, I have no doubt this would be easy enough to port. The problem (at least for me) is that the interface cable is pretty expensive. I searched a little bit and it seems like it would cost over $100! Ouch!!
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
I have written an obd-II logger in the past using an ELM interface...

I do however think that a laptop is more easy to use for readings and logging. The android screen is just a bit too small to really make a useful app.

And obd-II kinda sucks for real use ( sampling rate etc )... purely diagnostics can be handy though.

Ive always used software like crome and ectune to map my cars ( purely honda ).. Something like that would be great to have in a pocket device to turn on/off launchcontrol etc :)
[G1 Apps and Games] closeshave2:
I see where you're coming from. However, there are ways to work around the screen real estate issue. I still think this would be a great app! Since you have experience in this area, can you recommend a place to pick up an ELM/USB interface at a reasonable price?

Hi and welcome

Please try searching and reading before posting yet another post equal to so many others.

[About XDA developers] hendrixus:
You know. I was always wondering why developers suddenly stop with roms or programs. They can have family or personal reasons like being very busy with work or with whatever.

But there are more reasons why developers stop with cooking roms and/or programs. I've seen this before on other forums where developers stopped. Like with "Todayplus" some years ago.Same reason.

Here's the other reason

As the cooker explaing this has nothing to do with donations.I think the above is very true.Demanding is very "deadly" in every case.

Think about it! ;)
[About XDA developers] JimmyMcGee:
I agree there seems to be a sense of entitlement to people who are using the ROMs.

The good chefs here cook how they feel they want to and offer it to you. If you want something changed, learn to cook yourself.

The OP is absolutely right if we start mistreating anyone or bark out orders, they will stop.
[About XDA developers] hendrixus:
Hi

I wrote the OP. The quote I used was from a cook I read and this start making me think. Resulted in this thread.So he was right. I only spread his word ;)
[About XDA developers] xyzulu:
Sadly, this attitude is not new and not unique to these 'rom cookers' either. Coming from an Open Source background, you must see the number of demands that are made of our project/members.. even when *we* offer free support and help as well as software.
[About XDA developers] hendrixus:
I like to kick this thread once in a while to make you aware of the subject. Since it is important if you like see the new ROM's keep coming up.
[About XDA developers] -PiLoT-:
i would like to also make note of the fact that not a lot of user will download a rom by a new cook. this is a bit unfair since although the rom that has been made may not be the best it still took a lot of hard work to create

the reason im highlighting this is because i think it important to try out roms from nrew cooks and let them know how its gewtting on in terms of performance wise let them know whats wrong with it and were it could be improved

ok now ill use an example

when i posted my rom i got a few downloaders who try it out but all of one reply

this reply consisted of badmouthing my rom

then i got one who said it was actually fast

so basically the first poster on the thread about my rom wasnt being very nice and id like to thank hendrixus for letting people this is a problem

also as far as my last post went

sorry if it confused the op into thinking i was calling him a dent

i wasnt talking bout this threasd but my own

What a nice compliment, thanks.

btw I don't smoke at all ;)

English is not my native. You probely speak better dutch then I do English :D[/offtopic]

Nevertheless.People do agree to what I wrote. But I still find posters demand the cooks, who ask the same questions over-and-over again. They don't search, nor read (faqs) to find the answers which are there.

They just "hop-in" and start asking. Like we are the HTC's helpdesk which we arn't.
[About XDA developers] hendrixus:
I noticed the following for some time.

Even when a app is discontinued people keep on "talking" to the programmer, even when he hasn't been on the forum for a year or so. Asking for bugfixes and new features.

It is not only ridiculious, but pathetic too. Those who are doing so are not only newbies but also seniors. At least they should know better
[About XDA developers] -PiLoT-:
oh crap i think ive just totally confused you all when i was reffering to the first poster being a dent and me wanting to believe the scond one

i was talking about my own rom thread. when i posted my rom in the thread for it the first poster just labelled it a piece of crap even though i said it was my first the second poster was a bit nicer

i wasnt talking bout you guys

Each time that a program activates the GPS in my S740 everything seems fine, but after 1 or 2 minutes the phone freezes and I have to switch everything off.

It does it with every program I tried, namely google maps, quickgps, nonigpsplot, sportypal (can't try whereis because I am missing some .net updates).

I tried to deabilitate just about every option I could think of (power saving, other running programs etc) but I can't get rid of the problem.

Does anybody have any idea of what it could be?

Thanks a lot,

Luca

PS: the phone came with Swisscom installation
[S740, S743 General] richair:
I have the same problem.

The first time it happened, I had to to a hard reset (even without activating the GPS it would crash after a couple of minutes).

The second time (last week) it was exactly like you describe. Everything is fine until you run a GPS program, which causes the phone to freeze after a couple of minutes.

Unfortunately, I have no solution (yet). I reverted to a BT GPS to avoid the internal unit. Yesterday I managed to use Route66 for about half an hour on the internal unit. I still have to check if it was magiacally fixed, or whether this was a lucky shot.

One question for you: On both occasions, I used the GPSed-application (www.gpsed.com) extensively before the crash. Do you have that program installed by any chance? This might give a clue.
[S740, S743 General] lucav:
No, I don't have that application.

The phone is less than a week old and came with googlemaps and quickgps.

The only other programs I installed are nonigpsplot, sportypal and whereis (which doesn't work, I think I should update the .net).

I installed them after realizing that the gps didn't work because I thought it could be software error.

So far HTC has recommended an hard reset or to replace the phone as dead on arrival. They say that it is not a known issue.

Just to be precise, the gps gets a fix and everything is fine.. but it only lasts for one to two minutes.

[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
So, if I understood properly, the Google Maps that were installed when you got the phone was not working?

First of all try a hard reset. I think it could fix it. If not, maybe change the ROM?!
[S740, S743 General] lucav:
A hard reset seems to have solved the problem, but there are still a couple of things that I want to try.

At this stage I am not sure whether I should change the phone (it's new) or not, I must say.

Thanks!

Luca
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
what do you mean?
[S740, S743 General] lucav:
The gps sometimes does not get a fix. Switching the phone off and on repeatedly seems to solve the problem, but I am not sure of the details yet (didn't have time to test properly).

My feeling is that there is something not quite right, but I've never had a phone-gps so maybe they are just less powerful than normal gps-units and the somehow erratic behaviour is to be expected.

If/when I find a final solution I'll post it.

Thanks,

Luca
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
Switching the phone on and off repeatedly is not a sollution, imo. I haven't used the GPS too often - in fact only 3 or 4 times, when I was travelling - yet every time I used it, it was on for 1-2 hours. And it worked perfectly. So, the fact the it freezes has nothing to do with the fact that it's "phone-gps".
[S740, S743 General] hpsiemer:
Hi,

had the same problems a few days ago. Freezing by Using GPS-Apps like run.gps or mcguider. After a hard reset it works fine again.

Have no idea what's the problem behind this.

[S740, S743 General] keeee:
mine also the same. after few hard reset. the gps become like god-mode..

within 1 min.. lock on.. but the device gets abit hot. mine is only 1wk old. i send it back for a exchange. i did request for chaning it to snap. but they say top up is reqired.

i am also using snap now. its a gd phone..
[S740, S743 General] Jack_Pott:
i had this problem too, with mcguider.

The solution for me was the qiuckgps app on my s740. Mcguider works only when the quickgps app is running in the background. When quickgps is not running ill become a freeze in all gps apps.

with quickgps it works very good over many hours!
[S740, S743 General] elektronicanet:
Same problem

I experience the same problems. I bought the phone second hand, and with both Google Maps and McGuider the phone freezes completely after 1-2 minutes.

What I tried:

- hard reset

- run QuickGPS in the background

Does not work for me :( Does returning help?

My version: 1.14.404.0, 25/10/2008
[S740, S743 General] lucav:
It seems to be a rather common problem.

It might be good if everybody sent an email to HTC about the issue, maybe they can do something (patch).

In the end a hard reset was enough for me to solve the problem, no phone exchange, but it's not an ideal situation.

BTW: quickgps (or any other program) had no impact on my issue. It was not a matter of getting a gps fix, which is easier if you start quickgps beforehand.

[S740, S743 General] motaba:
Possible solution

Hi

I had same problem. If any application try to connect to GPS, phone freezes after few seconds.

After Hard Reset it was OK, but only until I use QuickGPS. Then it again freeze whole mobile after use GPS application.

My temporary solution:

1.

Erase QuickGPS data. It was in Temp\xtra.bin and Windows\xtra.bin

Erase those 2 files.

2.

Soft Reset phone.

Don't use QuickGPS. Wait 3-5 minutes for GPS fix.

I was wondering what is wrong with xtra.bin. It is downloaded from web server xtra1.gpsonextra.net or simmilar.

At 24-25.10.09 there was time change from summer time [CEST (GMT+2) to CET (GMT+1) in my country]. Maybe it is some dependance between change of time and GPS problem.

Anybody knows if quickgps plans an update to fix this?
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
Here's my thought process on this (remember however, I could be way off):

It's got something to do with DST. The Americas change time this Sunday, as opposed to Europe, which already changed last Sunday. Now, since GPS is an American system, everything gets screwed because the time stamps from the phone (as downloaded by QuickGPS) and the satellites' just won't match anymore.

I remember my GPS constantly freezing some time prior to this one. I wish I could say for sure that it was around the time of the time change in spring. However, I also remember that it eventually just went away on its own.

To conclude, I for one am just gonna wait it out till Sunday..

.-ombre-.

P.S.: Deleting the two xtra.bin's does do the trick for the time being. Which makes my theory even more plausible..
[S740, S743 General] motaba:
Still not working

Ombre, your theory sounds good.

But I try to download QuickGPS data at 11:30 CET (which is 2:30 US pacific time) but still not luck.

After starting Google Maps phone starts freezing.

Maybe we must wait a bit longer until data will be correct.

[S740, S743 General] elektronicanet:

Hi (new user)

I'm having the same problems and I am using Copilot and the 2 preinstalled apps Google Maps and Quick GPS. The first time I had the problem I did a hard reset and that sorted it out. But I have just tried another hard reset and I still have the problem.

Its as though the device is prossesing each key stroke very slowly. I did find if you manualy manage the GPS settings and change the Buard rate to a low figuer it speeds up some what, but doesn't curei it.
