[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rob sanchez:
hey guys,

long time reader first time writer.

i searched a lot for the last 2 days about this problem.

Two days ago, I was just phoning with my girlfriend till my battery goes down and the phone shutted down itself with a message like "Phone is turning off...". Around 30 minutes later I was back home and connected my phone to the power cable, but it didn't turned on (I thought).

I was trying a lot because I thought (!) it is bricked some how. Tried to connect it to my PC but of cause it doesnt exists for fastboot because USB Debug is off (I guess I turned it offagain some time ago) - but some minutes ago, something strange happend.

Again I was trying to figure out whats wrong with my phone. I turned it on but nothing happened. Around 40 Seconds later the ringtone for a new email was ringing and I was like "WTF?" - but yeah, it seems that my phone is running, but I just can't see anything.

The display seems to work because it goes on when I turn the phone on, but no colors, no images - just nothing appears on it. I don't know what to do. It seems that there is something wrong :confused:...

Would be great if somebody got same problem and a solution.

Thanks a lot,

rob sanchez

same issue here

32a on cyanogen mod by bcrook... latest version
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Data wipe, full wipe, etc.

I'm sure this might seem pretty obvious, but...

Reboot into recovery, if you can. Otherwise you need to try another solution.

Then from there perform a system wipe.

After that, you do in fact need to reformat your SD card. You could try and simply format your extension partition, but ultimately in a situation like this you might try rebuilding your partitions entirely.

Put your ROM on the SD - name it update.

Then once you reinsert the SD card, perform another wipe.

After that, select repair extension file systems. (If you use Amon_RA)

If not, that's fine...NOW you can flash your ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Visti:
Hi guys, I was wondering how you would go about personalizing ROMs for your own use. Nothing code-wise, but installed programs and such. Opening up the zip files of downloaded ROMs I see the apk files and the system apk files - is it really as easy as just removing those you don't want and plotting in the ones that you do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
If this rom is from the same board as you, can say so.

But, .. you still need to run a linux terminal the code to sign the package that you previously made with same special files..

Just the search tools and you'll find it!

...You can easily too start porting rom's too... ;)

want to sync for example the push pages on tf3d that they will open with opera mini...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
Ive often wondered if this is possible. I always assumed it wasnt as its a program within a program ie, you open the java program the you open opera mini. I remember seeing some code somewhere once so you can just click on one icon and it opens up both java then opera in one fell swoop. Im just about to go to work so i dont have time to search for it...

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
HI,

I gave my X1 to vodafone on 29/8/09 due to the handset not charging. The expected return date was 9/9/09 so i visited the shop but they did not have it and was told to come back a few days later. In the meantime i phoned up voda and asked a rep on the phone who told me it was repaired and in the warehouse ready for delivery back to the shop.

I visited the shop again on 12/9/09 but still no handset, the vodafone computer says it was in repair still? The manager of the store called up voda who said they could not fix it and has been sent to SE. The manager contacted SE who knew nothing but said to call back in a few days.

The manager contacted my gf on monday as im away for work and told her SE does not have it and its not booked in, voda say they have sent it but does not have any details or tracking numbers. So the manager was forced to say that the X1 was now lost and does not know where it could be!

sorry for the long post but im asking if any other users have a similar story and what they done to sort it out

Thank you for your time
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satchef1:
Sounds like a good thing, new phone for you. Unless you didn't do a back-up before hand, in which case it's a bad thing and :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
I suppose it would be good but from what ive read here Voda dont have any Xperias!

What an absolute shambles
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
Well, that's a local service thing. I would call them and say them that this is absolutely not okay and that they should think of a solution insteaf of you. I would recommend a new phone as well. Good Luck in this case...

(with them I probably mean Voda...confusing story^^)

Thank you for your comments

comeradealexi im aware of your awfull situation and hope mine does not get as bad :(

Im off to the store tomorrow and try to get something from this.

The manager at the store has said he will refund 1 month line rental as ive had no X1 for 3 weeks now but once the 4th week is up they need to do something more than that!

ill keep you posted.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
Unfourtunatley unless you make a disturbance you wont get any where - you gotta be really persistant with vodafone - just a tip otherwise they will try and almost rip you off :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
well magically my X1 has arrived at the store today!?

I have just gone down to get it and it is a refurbed model but in better condition than the one i sent :)

now for the punch line....

I sent my X1 with the battery as the issue was with charging, they sent back an X1 with the smallest battery i have ever seen :eek: it does not fit and my X1 is now back with the store until they can get a battery in for it.

What retard sent the unit back with a tiny battery that will never fit i mean its like a 1/4 of the size of the X1 monster batt.

what a shambles, even the manager at the store could not believe his eyes :eek:

I cant help but laugh :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
I think someone will receive his phone with a battery which is too big for it...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
Well.

Got a refurbed replacement X1 on Saturday, The casing was not fitted together correctly and the SE logo was bulging up and not flush with the Batt cover. The guy instore squeezed it together and clicked it back into place. :(

Also the left side of the screen it not fitted together properly and i can fit my finger nail into the gap (hard to explain).

I didnt want to send it away again so argued and managed to get..

1 month free line rental £40

Reduced my contract from £40pm to £15pm also as my GF is on the same contract reduced hers to £20pm from £25pm

GF gets upgrade in December I get upgrade in January.

Still does not make up for all the hassle and bull*hit they make up to keep you happy.

wow you got compensated pretty well! all i got was 2 months free while i couldnt use my phone >.< i should have haggled more
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nofowuw:
Was surfing around on androlib.com looking for apps and found "Instant Root" on the "newest apps" tab... apparently it gives you instant root access..

I know there are root threads out there, but since this(as far as i know) is a new way to root your phone(since its in the newest apps tab) I thought it might was worth a own thread?

Anyhow, anyone tried this? good/bad?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Polymira:
Which is quite unfortunate. But with Android, there's still plenty you can do without root.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
The only way so far to root a GSM hero is to do a CID unlock (gold card method) and flash an official rom (2.73.405.5 WWE) with the kernel exploit, then you can root using instantroot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the_miker:
Wait, what? Has someone actually tried this and it works? I thought flashing a SPL/radio from a GSM ROM would brick the CDMA Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
My bad, i meant GSM hero.

No one said it definitely would brick a CDMA Hero, just that it very likely would! ;)

Wow man. You should apologize. We don't go for this kind of stuff around here.

Anyway, this little package concerns me a bit. It looks like they found an exploit. (Bluetooth maybe) But why haven't they shared it? Me thinks it could be malware too.

If there is an exploit, I wonder if it is in Linux, or maybe even Unix/OS X.

ive read numerous threads discussing the application "swapper" from the market. most ROM threads have people sharing their swapper settings as well. my question is, how do i configure swapper aft i download it? i looked through settings and saw where i can edit swappiness and swap size but i wasnt sure if i had to do anything else first. when i click "turn swap on" i get a few "failed" messages and some "ok" messages and im not sure if that is normal. i know the desired swap setting and swappiness for the ROM i am using but i could use a little help on configuring the app.

btw im using mytouch with modaco 2.2 hero rom. fat32/ext3/linux swap on 4GB class 6 SD card.

PS. ive tried searching the forum but all i can find are threads mentioning their swap size/swappiness. nothing about initially setting up the application.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Wayneh73:
Open the app as normal then press menu! You will then get the menu where you can set swap size, swappiness etc. Also under advanced you can tell it to use the swap partition. When you have configured it then go back and press 'on' and it will then be set up. Hope this helps.
