Hi everybody,

I´m still a student here in this uge high school of tecnology, i learned a lot and know for the firts time i think that i can contribute with something form my one, straight form Portugal.

Well as all the SEX1 (black) user´s I encounterd the back/battery cover problem! It´s scratch very easy... on the second day of use only by putting it in my jeans pocket it was already showing bit´s of aluminium... I had a lot os phones till now and with none something like that happend but also... and i never had one with a aluminium back (chique) ... and front cover so the 600€ maybe not all lost in the process...

Well i found on google a mate that polished his one almost to bronze... but i tougt to myself that it had exist a solution more simpler and i found one... simple and great...

Simply wipe the paint of with a normal soft steel woll swab, those that mom´s use to clean the grease from the pan´s, it doesn´t ruin the aluminium, it doesn´t scratch it, and the aluminium stays with that awsome shape... Really nice! Think almost better that the original black. Heard people saying that the will buy new ones form ebay... the problem will remain the same... they will scratch sone or later...

Cheers| :cool:

[XPERIA X1 General] ziTney:
Looks nice man! I have the silver one, and man.. it looks awul.. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:
I'm not understanding..

So you used the pads to basically sand down the aluminum, and then paint it over or something?
[XPERIA X1 General] lrbpereira:
The pads take out the paint, without scratching the surface, and leave de foil naked, witout the black ou grey paint... for me it´s better than as in original ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:
So basically, the entire cover is actually made with black aluminum, and that it's not silver with black painted over?

Edit: What I mean is, how is it that you're taking off the paint, but it's still black in those pictures? :)

Sorry, I'm just a bit confused.
[XPERIA X1 General] lrbpereira:
Lol it´s silver as seen in the pic´s... :confused:

But it´s a dark silver... :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:
I think the color on my monitor is off, but I see it clearly as a dark dark dark black :(

Anyway, it looks real good after what you did with it. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] lrbpereira:
Well in this pic you can see it better lol
[XPERIA X1 General] intizarh:
Nice one man!! i did the same and ppl were surprised by the results :)
[XPERIA X1 General] bobbanswe:
I was really scared to this, but it really worked! Thanks man! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] sbugra:
its not

its not aluminium its titanium. i think this is your answer
[XPERIA X1 General] lineri:
looks great! I think I will try it myself. I never thougt it was that easy!! Thanks for the idea
[XPERIA X1 General] bobbanswe:
Anyone else tested this? Thought I might try this with my silver cover, but don't know if the result will be as good as this?
[XPERIA X1 General] Johev:
Hi, good to know that people from where I live do think of some good things, after all... hehe.

I have a balck one too, bought it on ebay about 9 months ago, and it already came with some scratches on the battery cover.

I thought of buying a new one, but after seeing your post I'll try that instead.

Thanks again.

"Obrigado"
[XPERIA X1 General] bobbanswe:
Please come back with info on how it turned out :)
[XPERIA X1 General] bobbanswe:
If someone has done it now, please report back. Still wishing to hear from someone else before doing it :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Ctrl+A:
steel wool works too

I did not have brillo, so used a soft steelwool obtainable from any builders merchant/paint shop/hardware store and it works a charm.

Nice uniform dark metal finish, only a couple of shades lighter than the original (unscratched) black - imagine the surrounding metal of the front cover being a shade or two lighter - same finish, sheen and proffessional look!

Shows finger prints, but not scratches!

thanks very much for this!!
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
I just painted mine candy apple red (inspired from the Satio). The black-red combo looks really, really great.
[XPERIA X1 General] bobbanswe:
Sounds awesome dude. Wanna upload a pic? :)

As soon as I can get a hold of another camera (the X1 is my only cam, sad, I know) I'll post pics.

[XPERIA X1 General] Muo:
An awesome and extremely simple idea for this obnoxious issue of scratches on the back cover.

THANKS!

EDIT:

After scratching off the black, it indeed does give a very nice look to the phone. It is not black, but more gun metal like. I wish the phone side accents where that instead of ugly chrome-looking plastic.

The XPERIA gets stripped off but the Sony Ericsson remains black. Do not try to the steel wool on the "X1" rectangle. It just scraches and looks weird like mine did. So I took off the black X1 plastic piece. Has anyone ever taken this off? Mine shows some numbers and letters. Curious what these mean.
[XPERIA X1 General] Danni3:
Probably not the best job since i have some pretty major scratches that won't let me get a decent tone and not to mention a tiny dent i never noticed

but it looks pretty good =P the XPERIA logo is faded but still visable which kinda looks cool imho

imate ultimate 9502 stuck on "PLease reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again"

PROBLEM SOLVED!

hi guys,

any idea on this error, i have tried the posted solutions here, but nothing works. tried it on windows 7, windows xp. not connecting with activesync.

reason:

flashed 1.73 rom. then it went this way.

hard reset keys wont work.

when using XP, and running the 1.77, it will just say on the screen , "Sending data to mobile device, you can check the schedule on the device screen" but nothing happens..

on windows 7, it says Error 203. saying it was not connected via activesync.

any idea how to revive this phone.

thanks so much

Has this been done? the only reason I use the hero roms is for the awesome music app. I also love the lockscreen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
No...The frameworks are differnt so you cant..The eclair hero lockscreen is better then the 1.5 hero's.Also dont even bother trying to install the lockscreen's apk since it wont work.You can wait for AOSP 2.0 or stick with what you have now.Or! upgrade to a new HTC phone like Legend/Bravo/Passion/Nexus well you get the point.

now the phone is stuck in ruu mode , i cannot get into the recovery mode as i had done before , the main screen has at the bottom a picture of a rom/ram in a red circle with the stripe through the middle, when the phones in that mode i can hear my twitter app on the phone bleeping everytime i get a new tweet but it wont boot into the main interface , i have tryed through ms dos all the commands but it always fails , the phone needs a ruu file to install the phone back to life but after 2 days searching here and on google i have not found the belgium rom to restore it back to life , i dont know if there will be a update soon as its a 32a version , any ideas guys or how to build a ruu to get it back , i had saved my nandoid but that does not help at all , any help would be very gratefull as iam pulling out my hair with this phone

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
On the forum have posted a lot of similar info!

- use brain

- use search button

And the answer is:

- use goldcard

Create goldcard from sdcard to avoid checking Customer ID. It is simply method, but i notice, that some sd cards and some devices are not compatible with this process

You must find following: a computer (notebook) with Ubuntu (or Linux-based OS) and built-in cardreader. But i you have friend with Android-phone process will be simpliest.

There is a problem getting CID from cardreader, that connected through USB-port to computer, because Ubuntu mounts sdcard from cardreader as physical storage, not as device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=572683

There is instruction of creating Goldcard.

attention: Step 20 is for Hero only

At this step you must use any RUU ROM with version 3.03.XXX for Magics (HK Vodafone-Smartone, Singapore, Malaysia - does not matter). You cann't use old RUU ROMs, cause you flashed a new perfected SPL already. It doesn't allow downgrading.

p.s. there is an alternative method getting CID in Ubuntu

thanks for your help i will look in to it , i did search the forum but there seems so many different ways people have managed to restore thier phones , have contacted htc as well for a real copy in ruu format as iam sure they must have it on their ftp and will if i get it upload it and post it here on the forum for any users with the same model from belgium to restore back thier original rom

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shwan_3:
No need for a goldcard you can do it right way

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589722

read the post then take a look post 35 at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5033743&postcount=35

what you need is change the files so you have the hero spl and hero recovery and this new radio inside the file now you can ron ruu (as explaind in #35 ) you should end up with a eng S-OFF SPL and the new rom then it is posiable to recover back to an older ROM if you want , search newxt time for a topic not just for recover a dead phone!

remember new radio = new SPL first then maybe downgrade,

is it in RUU mode or just fastboot ?

any ways you should fix it using these links
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] peekie:
cheers

will read and try out the links you gave thanks and its a ruu mode my phones stuck in
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
It cann't help to peekie.

Because his phone have perfected SPL 1.76.0007 already.

It doesn't allow to flash other SPL. We've tried with my friend, but RUU doesn't flash eng SPL if phone have perfected.

I flashed successfully, cause i have eng SPL 1.33.2010

p.s. Goldcard needed for RUU Update, cause Customer ID is different between HongKong and Romania =)

Hello,

i got the same effect.

I put the setting i.e. to 10 seconds screen off and 1 minute poweroff in accumode and 1 min. screen off and 1 min. poweroff. It wont be recognized by the phone. It stays on, with screen and device on.

At first I thougt it was some effect produced by the glight app i tested out, because i noticed this error not directly.

So i made a hardreset, but the effect is the same with the original htc rom without any mods, spl or some of this stuff.

any new ideas ?

Doktor.Wahnsinn
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Just a random thought:

If you're screen won't turn off, perhaps it thinks the screen is being tapped somewhere or a button is being pressed? If so, then you've got a hardware defect...

Ideas on testing this:

Create a new Note in drawing mode. See if any random spots/lines appear on screen. Try in both portrait and landscape.

Install the Rhodium Keyboard Controller. Add a new hardware key to map. If there's a key acting up, it should be picked up here.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've rooted my phone, and the only thing keeping me from flashing a new ROM was the fact that I intended to return my current Hero for one that wouldn't get dust under the screen (I have some in the lower left hand corner). Well, I've decided I'm either too lazy to go return it or I just don't care that much anymore. So, I would like to get a new ROM now :) In your opinion, what would be the fastest ROM right now, that is the most stable? Keep in mind, I do NOT want to use Apps2SD (I only have a Class 2 card). I also would like to eventually add those optimized APK's that have been zipaligned in the future, and I want a lock screen that is clear (displays carrier/time text though... I've seen one around somewhere), and I want a clear notifications pull-down. The only thing I've been paying attention to right now has been getting 2.0/2.1 on our phones, so I've lost track of all the ROM's that were made (maybe someone can sticky the ones BESIDES MoDaCo's?), so that's why I'm asking for your help.

Also, I've made a nandroid backup, and of course, rooted. Is there anything else I would have to do to flash a new ROM?

Thanks so much guys!
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:
Fresh's 1.0 is my favorite

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584032

or his main site here: http://geekfor.me/

If you run the delock mod, it will remove the lock icon and make it clear:

http://bit.ly/delock

There is a known message app issue, make sure to run this update as well:

http://bit.ly/freshmsgpatch

Other than that, the apps are already zipaligned, just update via recovery.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Alright, that's pretty much what I needed to hear :) Thanks so much! Oh, and it doesn't have Apps 2SD right?
[Hero CDMA General] StephenMilone:
it does have apps2sd, but only uses it if your sd card has a EXT2/3 partition

i used fresh 1.0 as well. no complaints. however the new 2.1 rom looks tempting.
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:
your welcome

you don't have to restore to stock or anything, just run the install after making a backup and your existing settings/data will stay intact.

I'm not using apps2sd and running it just fine.

I think you can set it up if you prefer it, but I didn't want to.

so the option is there I believe if you do ever want it
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:
yeah it does, but I'm waiting until they get accelerometer and multi-touch working, I ran the install when it was first posted and like what I see, but I need a solid phone, lol

[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
no, just select choose zip

You shouldn't have to. Just load the zip onto your sd card and nandroid has an option to choose which zip file you want to install..

No, just flash over what you have now. It *should* work just fine.
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:
to be honest, I can't recall.

try it without first, if it never boots all the way and sticks,, then power off and wipe data through recovery.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Ok, thanks :) And then if anything bad happens, all I have to do is Reboot back into the recovery, and then press Wipe Data? Sounds good. Oh, and I should probably put my nandroid backup on my sdcard.
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:
your backup from recovery is on your sdcard, that's where mine are.

I make a backup of that to my laptop from time to time just to be safe.

have fun!

Hello,

I installed PocketMusic Player on my HTC Leo.

I got problem, this player won't accept standard HTC Handsfree's " Next Song / Previous Song, Accept / Cancel call" buttons.

When I press "Next Song" or "Previous song" it causes built-in WMP to change songs.

Anyone have solved this problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
I have told this like thousand times. The only player that works with the Headset's button is Pocket Player (after you have installed the WMP plugin). So, there is only on solution for that. Either you use WMP or Pocket Player (with the WMP plugin)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arcades:
Could you show guide or link on how to install this plug-in? Will it work on Windows Mobile 6.5 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
Yeah, of course it does. When you have installed Pocket Player and when you are in it, you go to Menu (softkey on the right)-> More-> Options-> (you scroll to the right) Plugins-> (here you have to have a internet connection), there you choose "update now". Then it asks if you want to install the WMP plugin. You say "yes". When it's done, "Conduits WM Adapter" appears in the Plugins list. You choose that and choose configure. Then there is some options you have to check. You check "load WMP plugins" and under it "HTC WMP Control Plug-in" and under it "Play/Pause" and "Back/Next". All of these must be checked (you have to use the Keyboard and the Enter button to check those. Just tapping on them won't check). You tap on OK and restart Pocket Player. When you are back, the headset works perfectly.

By the way, if you have the "slide to Unlcok" enabled, when the screen is off, the headset buttons won't work. So you have to disable the Slide to Unlock thingy.

Good luck..
