Damn, your 8525 has alot of problems, iam guessing it was dropped??. There may be a chance that all these repairs will cost you the price of a working used hermes. Anyways, I had the same radio problem as you, and it was the most longest, and stressfull thing ever to get it to actually work. I was opening up hardware, flashing radio/roms, using mtty, numerous of times. Trust me, its not worth it. And if your flex cable is damaged its gonna cost $30 or more to fix. And if wifi or SD card slot is broken too, the device is practically an PDA of the past. You could try to fix it(With the possiblitiy of killing yourself from all that stress), or sell it on ebay for parts(sells for a decent price actually).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] FrmPalm2WM:
Thank you for your response. was kind of afraid that was the response i was gonna get. damn that sux. the $30 for the flex cable i could swing, but from what your saying it sounds like majority of my issues are hard ware and not software (like i was hoping) and ive priced most of that out and might as well buy a new one i agree. thanks though ill keep playing with it. but now i know not to get my hopes up.:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
For sd card problem, you might be able to get it to recognize the sd card if you insert then do a soft reset, others have had this issue. I'd also check to see if the sd card is registering on the pc with a card reader because if its not, you may need to get a new sd card.

Wifi, Might be a rom problem... Read up on the thread if others have this problem, might have a fix or might need to find another rom...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] FrmPalm2WM:
Here are Some of the Fixes that i have found and some of the issues i am still having~~

~Screen fades ---fixed Kinda, i have disassembled the phone checking all the connections and putting tape tightly over all connections, i still get the white screen on occasion but its %90 better and i can always press on the bottom ov the screen and bring it right back

~Radio drops out one min i have full bars and the next nothing. i havent found any patterns to it. (still an issue but am trying to update radio ROM to one that i read in the forums that is supposed to be better for my carrier. If i can get the RUU issue corrected)

~When send sms it will send a few but then i will get a few that come back saying phone not ready. (i have found it is realted to the radio issue above)

~Power button has a almost exact 23 second delay-- i have found it seems to be correctable if i make sure there are not alot of stuff running. (found a program that actually closes the apps with the x button instead of just minimizing them)

~Wifi wont connect to secure network--didnt really do anything but seems to be working again (who knows)

~SD card inserted and phone doesnt show any signs of recognizing it including when you go to setting/system/memory it says card not installed, doesnt even light up when you insert the card... still an issue but now it will on occasion recognize the SD Card.

Thank you in advance for any help even iif its direction to a forum that has answers that might help.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
Hey Guys

I found out something interesting. I downloaded this freeware audio routing software for using the earpiece for sip softwares like skype which normally send their autput audio through the loudspeaker and not the normal speaker for calls.

http://www.teksoftco.com/storage/download.php?product=audioroute_ppc

now the interesting thing is that this software has 3 possible speaker choices

one is the internal the other the external and speakerphone that when is activated u hear music from xperia in a greeat quality and really high volume. It sound like stereo speakers. I am really wondering how many speakers has xperia? and why normally the music doesnt come out like this but in a very low quality. ???

suggestions welcome :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Most likely two...the ear piece speaker and the speaker phone speaker.

I don't think there's an internal speaker like on the Ipod Nano.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallie-s:
so, your'e saying that you found a way to enhance the inside speaker??

Cool !

For as far as i heard, there is a mono speaker built in, and there where plans to make it stereo..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kersey247:
I just gave this a try, it does produce sound from the ear piece speaker on one of the settings and while it is a much better quality sound it is far too quiet to make a difference or to listen to, you actually need to put the phone to your ear to hear it.

Shame, I was hoping it would flesh out the poor sounding loudspeaker :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quetzalquatl:
This guy didn't find 3 speakers.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
I also had my xperia taken apart and couldn't see any other speakers. you can't always trust a software. if its programmed to say there are three speakers it will say there are three. also you have to look with which phones it is compatible
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
ok now try this :)

leave a song playing and from the software change from earpiece to speaker phone (The order is VERY important) so first put the audio to play in ur earpiece(first icon) then put it into the speakerphone (last icon) and u will hear a very loud music in a good quality. then if u change to the second icon u will hear the normal very low quality.

there is a huuuge difference
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kersey247:
Ok, will give it a try later, so in theory it will be playing from both the ear piece and the loudspeaker, with the ear piece giving it a bit more oomph.

Will this work with the ring tone too???

This could be the final piece of the puzzle to make my Xperia perfect ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Not true. :mad::mad:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kersey247:
:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
Ok that does it ...

The first thing when i get home is to make a video and upload it on youtube ... till later ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
this app is very bad...can't shut it down, speaker on and stuck there.

edit: okay, to shut it down you have to press the first icon and the little bar below is for moving it around.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
the last icon did play with both speakers on. there is no 3rd speaker. first icon for the earpiece, second icon for speakerphone, and last icon for both. IT DOESN'T MAKE A BIG DIFF. Can you hear the earpiece loud? NO...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
Strange ... for me it does ... but u have to pass from the earpiece (first icon) to the last icon ... and another icon will appear telling that speakerphone is ON and during this time the music is really much louder and in a much better quality.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
like i said...the last icon is playing with both earpiece and speaker on. that's it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kersey247:
Would the incall volume of the ear piece speaker make a difference...mind is set to the lowest so maybe when the sound is played through the ear piece that's why it's quiet.

What incall volume are you guys phones set too :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
carefull, you can burst your earpiece speaker with this.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
hmm actually i dont think so ... because the higher volume doesnt come from the earpiece but from the normal output sound... only that is amplified and much better quality
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Agreed, but there are only two speakers. Earpiece and mono loudspeaker.

The HTC Touch Pro2 has 3 speakers.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
actually im thinking there might be three ... the one which is mono might have 2 speakers inside one low quality for music and ringtones and another good quality for loudspeaker during calls ... and is activated only when using loudspeaker during a call ... (u will see the same icon and notification that speakerphone is active)

but i really like the sound ... is like my laptop :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immy852:
I also tried it and I realy hear the difference.

Is there any possibility to make it standard in the phone so you dont need the app for it.

Maybe something like a reg tweak.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Lol wut. 2 speakers.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
I have downloaded and tried the application. After examination I can conclude the following:

- There are two speakers in the unit, the earphone speaker and the loudspeaker.

- I can confirm that this application indeed enhances the volume and quality, but only when you first set it to earphone and then to the third option. This is as the OP told us.

I think it has to do with the way it accesses the sound driver. When you set it to the earphone speaker, a higher quality output is set, when you then switch to the external speaker, this is not reset, allowing for better quality, louder sound.

I think devs should indeed look into it. This application proves that it's very much possible to improve the speaker on the X1, to be on par with Touch Pro 2!! (I compared it with my gf's rhodium).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeouda:
WTF this guy is right, it' impressive!

I tried this:

-blue button: I stick my ear on the "camera button", I hear sound only from the regular speaker, so far it's all normal.

-his method with purple and orange: orange and I stick my ear on the "camera button", I hear sound FROM this BUTTON, I don't know if somebody opened the X1 already but it must have something we missed!

great discover informatico!!!!!!!

now, we got to find a way to use this trick in mp3 and ringtones! any thought?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_legaspi:
i hear the difference too. great find informatico. i also think angelusz is right.. there is only two speakers and that a higher quality sound is being routed to the speakerphone. it could be that it is sending a stereo sound to the mono speakerphone or the speakerphone does have two speakers. the higher quality sound is not coming from the earpiece and speakerphone, just the speakerphone.

who knows but there is an audio difference.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_legaspi:
i guess you can just leave it in speakerphone mode....

i did notice that my battery was getting a little warm when using the higher quality sound...i guess it could be using more power, anyone else notice that?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcsxda:
+1 for the WOW factor! This really works -much louder and better sound quality

Also interested to hear if people get battery drain leaving it in speakerphone mode (have only just installed so cannot tell yet)

I get a constant Notification when I leave it in that higher quality mode

"The Speakerphone is on."

I try to "dismiss" the notification but it stays there ...anyone found a way to dismiss? Or have different experience??
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] informatico:
well it's nice to have it as default music output but maybe not like this ... When it is activated if u notice there is a noise active always ... even if theres no music playing :( u can hear it if u put the head near ur phone and in the night u can also hear it when the phone is far . I think thats a lot of battery drain ... and also not "healthy" for the phone to have 24 hours that noise active.

I hope somebody can make any tweak to activate it only on music playback and deactivate automatically ...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
That could have something to do with amplification.

Anyway, one of the better developers here should be able to use this info to improve the sound - I just don't think they will. xD

I followed all the instructions to flash Wm6.5 Shifu ROM to my unlocked AT&T tilt. It worked fine for a couple of hours, and then the screen was locked!! I did a sift reset and the phone hangs on the screen that shows the ROM versions.

R 1.65.21.18

G 25.88.40.05H

D 3.29.shifu

I have tried taking out the battery .. same result...

Please help... :(

Have you tried to flash another ROM on to it like a stock ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] WillardZ:
You should try to reload the ROM but you may have to load from SD because I don't think you will be able to connect to the PC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] soulbandaid:
You should really read the wiki. your phone is not bricked. see if you can put the phone in the tri-color screen. (hit:the answer can be found by searching tri-color, or reading the sticky wiki [top post]). If you can get it to the tri-color just flash another rom.

This post would have been better in the forum of the rom you tried to flash.

Welcome to the forums. Flashing a rom on your phone will be worth it. I really like Josh's because I find it very responsive. But try a few. And try not to start threads not directly related to the development of new roms.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Please post any ROM related problems in the ROM thread.

Re-Flashing the ROM, or Hard Reseting should solve this for you.

Thread Closed.

Hi All,

I'm going to start a new thread on this one, otherwise it will get lost in all the other Spb Mobile Shell threads...

Has anyone in the XDA community worked out how to change the weather source in Sbp Mobile Shell 3.0 to a custom one (like you can do in Spb Weather)

Spb Weather is good, but the standard interface in Mobile Shell is so much cleaner and less cluttered, except the current weather source is not accurate enough and not customisable...

I don't know if it's possible, but if it can be done, it can be done here...!

Cheers

I havent done anything to it and it says now "No Videos". What is going on here? Do I have to hard reset now? I have no cooks, just replaced the icons with the Family Guy theme over 6 months ago. It has been working fine until I tried it today and just get the message "No videos". The funny ****te is that my saved favorites do play, but search or main page dont show anything. What happened? Thanks y'all.

I know the hermes doesnt use internal gps but an external gps. So I know the first thing I have to buy is a BT-359 bluetooth adapter. But that's all I know, can anyone suggest me a good program to use with the bluetooth adapter, and also where to download or buy maps(has to be cheap). Trying to spend as less as I can.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] killakilna:
Get Google Maps

You Wont Get A Voice Telling You Where To Go For When Your Driving Etc But Its Free And Does Have Route Planning Capabilities :)

Only Downside Is That It Downloads All Maps Over The Air When You Use It Which Can Be Slow Unless You Have A Good Data Connection
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] josharmour:
So, there are so many people making really good roms now. A little dash of this and a hint of that, and viola, your flashing my rom on your phone!!

So how do you start cooking roms?

What software is needed? Do you need eclipse? Do you just need a file manager and an unzip utility?

Has anyone created a tutorial on cooking a rom?

I have some skill with android, and am pretty good and flashing and stuff, I wouldnt mind adding root a build that I like or taking something else out. Maybe add an app to the image, or add an option to my recovery image.

Where do I start?

Question, where are the default wallpapers stored? What about the animated boot logo?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nagasgura:
The boot animation depends if you're asop or sense. Sense (If I remember correctly) is System/customize/resources. And ASOP is System/Media
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wavetheory:
I have been using my new mytouch without a data plan for about a week now. I had data when I activated the phone (didn't sign up for it, but was able to connect), but they have since blocked it. Everything works fine without a data plan except for one thing - MMS. MMS is not working for me now, and I suspect its because I don't have a data plan. I tried changing around APN settings, but haven't managed to find a combination that works. Anyone have any ideas on work around?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] josharmour:
So that is weird because technically, without data, you should only get mms / sms and phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] atlp99:
mms uses the data connection

MMS messages need the data connection to work. SMS messages should work without a data connection since they are transmitted over the signaling portion of the cell channel.

Without the data plan MMS will not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wavetheory:
Why then did MMS work on my T-Mobile Dash without a data plan?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] atlp99:
Dash was a different phone

Windows Mobile on the dash handled data differently than the android software, plus the network systems have been changed to recognize data phones and require the correct data plans.

The Dash was not supposed to get MMS without a data plan but it worked as long as you could connect to T-zones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Das_mobile:
Wi-fi works but to get the most of this phone the $24.99 plan is required.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KROMO50:
yea i had the same thing the data worked over 3g for about a day. u can buy the phone form walmart and u will not have to to get the 24.99 data plan i just told them i have it on another line.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mlpoland:
So...you can have a PDA/Smartphone, and not get hit with the additional cost of a data plan. Is this where you'd need a "unlocked" phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
to view MMS without a data plan? No cuz an unlocked phone only allows you to use the phone with other carriers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] amanvir:
is there anyway to activate it without dataplan simcard....? with wifi same like g1
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anusonkiss:
I think that myTouch "need" simcard with data plan to activate it. only wifi is impossible to activate.

However, I've another question. Is it possible to use this phone when I have no Internet conneciton (wifi/2G/3G)? I just need to use if for making a call.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] melterx12:
yes. if your mytouch 3g is alrady activated (needs sim cardwith data plan for that), you can SMS and make phonecalls and check voicemail (visual voicemail does need data tho) without any data connection, just like normal cellphones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] donepate:
OK folks. For those of you that missed it. The My Touch has to be activated using a sim card with a data plan attached. Once that is done, you don't need data. MMS on the MyTouch runs through the data portion of the network. Yot car root the phone, load up a different recovery image like Cyanogen or Amon ra's, and no more need to activate that handheld again. As for MMS, no fix for that. You have to have data to send an MMS. Large text, Picture, Or video messages will not work on a text package alone. A "large" text message is about 133 characters or more. Don't realy remember to well these days. The phone was designed around a data connection. Without it, you're gonna have issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hurlamania:
Is there a List?

Is there a list of phones that MMS won't work or other features are disabled? The G1 used to not need data now T-mobile say's it does? so if I was to get a G1 without data is MMS gone? Curious about the Nokia nuron or nexus 1 is anything disabled without data?

I want to get a nice phone preferably with wifi but no data plan what is my best option a list of phones that work 100% without Data would be very cool...

Need to know my options so I can start trying to get a deal on the phone I select.

Thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cnonline:
No not really. the $10 Unlimited web for phone data plan works. Just need to tweak around the apn settings.

I have also seen some forums that included that a 5.99$ Tzone data plan also work with mytouch 3g. However it is difficult to get that plan. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] medmansri:
After activating and sim unlocking the phone, If I ever factory data reset, would I have to activate it again with a Tmobile sim card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] snyper5:
Now I am confused.

I have a MyTouch3g from t-mobile. I bought it used so I did not need to get the data plan to activate it, however, picture messages still work just fine for me, as do video. I would like to know why.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Are you getting charged for data usage? AFAIK all MMS has to go over towers so that the carriers network can authenticate the phone they're are coming from, but I could be wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] jlechner:
With the 6.5 rom's coming out, I'm finding that I have to re-arrange my start menu everytime I flash. I'm aware of re-start, but it's a bit, primitive, for what I want to do. I'm wondering if CECabManager can create a cab that will simply MOVE files from one directory to another, even if that means creating a directory to place some files in. Basically, a fast and easy way to clean up my start menu the way I like it. Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] wg5566:
A common cab can not do this, in my knowledge if you want a cab do this, that cab must contain a setup.dll, which can execute some commands before/after the install/uninstall. And seems it is not easy to make a setup.dll except you can use c++ computer language.

Otherwise a cab can only: Copy files, create/overrwrite registry and create shortcut.

As fa as I know, XDA_UC can do this. Check here:

[UC]XDA_UC V1.0.02, Automated & Silent User & Cook, Configuration Service[12/07/09]

Please do correct me if anything wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
I actually use a cab to install my start menu, but I cook my own roms. I think it's going to be harder to do if you're flashing different roms-you won't know beforehand all the shortcuts that you need. You could probably write a mortscript that deleted everything in the start menu, and then install what you want with a cab, but I have a feeling that you'll miss a bunch of apps that are cooked in, and maybe include dead shortcuts.

Sashimi is another good way to insert a new start menu directory.
