I have a problem with entering the SIM PIN. The menu for entering it does not "autostart" when the device is turned on, so I have to manually enter the settings and enter the PIN, which kinda irritates me. Any solution to that? Tweak or something?
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
ive only used it for contacts, messages and files backup rather than a full phone backup. i usually prefer to install applications fresh. its only the data im interested in preserving. i might give it a try when they get around to releasing the X2 update.

i usually only use SKtools for monitoring my phone rather than tweaking things. although i did use it for improving the speed of my memory card on the X1. i cant remember exactly what it was now, but i tweaked some kind of cache. improved the read times of the card quite a lot.

you should be able to access individual programs without loading up SKtools all the time. ive got shortcuts to the taskmanager and the "free up ram" application. although ive found the X2 is much better at managing its applications and ram. on the X1 i had to use it a lot to free up the ram and clear out programs. but ive never really needed to use it on the X2.

have you installed the small X2 update yet dominstry?

[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
i've had great luck doing full backups and restores with spb backup (after rom changes). it even has a 'rom change mode.' you can do about 5 restores for free on the trial version. highly recommended. you'll be amazed when your phone looks exactly like it used to, but with a new rom.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I already have SKTools

so I also got extra shortcuts.

I will use it mainly for RAM cleaup and Processes

management when needed.

Yes I have the little upgrade

which gives much better dialer..

@ring-bearer

Thanks - that was my question.

I might try that than!

(SPB backup)
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Regarding RAM:

It's of course crap that

X2 has less free user RAM and storage than X1.

Anyway I just noticed every time I change Panel

It leaves a "trace" as Panel Process,

didn't see it before.
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Yes, SPB Backup is the BEST app for backuping and restoring. Its most reliable, simple, for common use its free (!), just AWESOME!
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
ive not noticed any impact from this though. possibly the X2 doesnt need as much ram because its uses it more efficently. ive never really needed to use the free up ram program like i did on the X1. and i always install my software to my memory card so the phone storage isnt an issue either. most X2s ive seen come with a free 4gb memory card so the loss of 30mb isnt that much to worry about.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Quite true of course.

Today though strangely all the Panels stayed in RAM

and suddenly I've had only 13MB RAM..

Had to use a program to kill those processes.

I've never had any memory problems on my X1 by the way.

Well - I wait for the major upgrade.

Hopefully this device will be improved.

I really like it, it needs some improvement though.

P.S.

Where the hell are all the panels?

This is crap. No Facebook, Twitter,

on the Road.....

And no SE Panels which I really love!
[XPERIA X2 General] filip210189:
Could some "older" member ask the mods to open the X2 subforum, they did it already for the x10:(
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
Facebook Panel, Twitter Panel. Growing Panel, CNN Panel, Pixel City Day Panel, Pixed City Night Panel, On-The-Road Panel are all available for X2 to download from playnow.

The original SE Panels from the X1 are not available on X2
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Where??

As for now On The Road and Twitter and Facebook are gone!
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
How strange yes they have. Send me a PM with your email address and i'll email the CAB files over
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
facebook and twitter are definately there for download in the playnow application. i saw them couple days ago.. but i dont think i noticed the "on the road" panel.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Nope. They're gone. Checked it.

It's ****ing strange.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
where are you looking. theyre definately there! im looking at them now :P

even the "on the road" panel is there lol

click on the start button and get up all your programs...click on playnow...then click on panels.

first thing that appears on the screen is..

calender touch

ewallet

twitter X2 beta

evernote

on the road X2 beta

facebook X2 beta

then all the other panels previously mentioned (fish, pixelcity etc).. and right at the bottom are the cnn, google and youtube panels aswell

They close X2 page

because they're so ****ing commited to Xperia line.

Moving all the posting to the product blog

where I didn't see a single X2 related post!!!

Is that because we won't see any upgrade

and they just piss on this device?!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:

[XPERIA X2 General] emuneee:
I feel bad for you X2 guys. SE continues to poop on its customers. The X2 appears to be half baked. I got burned on the X1 (which is now sold) and I won't do it again. :(
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well no need to feel sorry (yet) :D

I don't believe in flawless products today.

I watched every manufacturer struggle delivering

finished and polished devices (HTC example with constant

problems with HD2 etc.)

I wait for the first major upgrade which should come just now.

X2 is great thing in many ways,

but needs stability and those panels back.

(@anothadave, how strange

connecting to SE through PlayNow still

doesn't give me those Facebook and Twitter Panels....)

I hope this upgrade will sort things out.

Now sometimes the device behaves funny,

when in general I welcome WM 6.5.

And the camera is great.

So we'll see. They officially made the roadmap of upgrades,

so they should just deliver it.

Now I must say

X1 was amazing surprise to me

it was out of the box working good.

X2 is not really repeating this pattern.

But it has a great concept behind,

with software improvement will be great.

Right now I resist from full transfer from X1....

EDIT:

Looks like they will deliver it.....

They damn well better. I've been looking forward to this update all month.

The music player in the xperia pannel is really starting to give me problems and I don't want to have to go back to having both an ipod touch & my cell just to listen to some podcast on my walk to/from work each day.

:mad:
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
dont bother with the musicplayers they give you psmonkey64.. check out "Pocketplayer" its 100 times better. easy to use, it has various equalizers to adjust the sound and looks great too. highly recommended.

Dominstry.. maybe the playnow is different for you if youre in a different region? when i load up the playnow application and click on the panels button all those panels youre after come up available to download straight away. theyre top of the list. but im in the uk though.

no need to feel sorry for us emunee. ive yet to see a recent phone not have any problems at all. just google any phone you can think of and there will be plenty of people whove had some problem or other. phones are getting so advanced now its hard for the manufactures to keep up and make a completely flawless phone. im happy with the X2 so far despite its flaws. yes i could probably find a more stable phone, but it wouldnt look anywhere near as good and wouldnt have half the features i require.

i heard the update is due sometime this week... although they said march and today is the last day...
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
X2 update is around the corner keep an eye here

[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
I just have the usual feeling that this is where SE lets us down again, they've been developing this MR1 update for a while and have informed us it will be available in March. I knew it would be late March, but today is the last day and it is still not available, all we have is a change of the information displayed on the Update page.

I can say with pretty much 90% certainty that we will NOT see the MR1 update today (ie March)
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
I think so... I´m afraid...
[XPERIA X2 General] cbrandon:
My SE X2 is now in my cupboard and I bought a Blackberry.

I think SE should be sued for releasing a product that is so dodgy and basically cannot run properly.

I had numerous freezes, numerous errors, etc etc.

Pathetic, I will never buy another SE product.

[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
Ive seen this happen a couple of times, doesnt really bother me, but i just want to know if anybody has experienced this as well. Most of the time its the right side up....but every now and then i get this.....

randomly when im texting the picture icon where the contacts picture should be is upside down. I havent put custom pictures so im just using the stock android picture that the phone has for all my contacts.

Ill put some custom pictures on my favorite contacts to see if it continues even with custom pictures. And again this happens randomly when im typing a text message. So i dont know how to recreate it, i just happens....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for all the replies. And i guess ill just use this thread to post stuff that i might need help with. so i wont have to make new ones all the time.

Situation #2

When i take a picture it saves it to the gallery folder. But if i end up not liking it, it seems that i have to delete it several times just for it actually delete. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is there another way to delete photos taken from the phone?

Here's a video of what the phone actually does....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBItBBEx0J4

Thanks! hope you to get your feedback!
[Nexus One General] EdwardUong:
It's normal, don't you see that is cute :D ?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Word... you'll also see the icon sideways.
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
LOL! Yes its very cute! i thought the phone was doing an exorcist move on me. hahahah!

And is there anyway to do this? or it just does it on its own? I did see the sideways one after you had mentioned it.....
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
It just does it on its own... no way to control it, as far as I know.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Just another out of control droid :eek::p:D
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I think it is a cool little touch, just like when your batter is charged and you run the code to check it status in adb, it gives back some goofy message like "your android device is charged and ready for a new adventure!"
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What code?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I will try and find the post, should have saved it... but someone in talking about rooting either their N1 or G1 or something pointed out that if your battery is fully charged, and you run a battery status command(I think adb) it gave a read out of the stats, then if 100% charged, said "your android device is ready for a new adventure" or something to that affect... they also pointed out funny things like this are all over.

[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:

[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
What happens if you delete it, press home, then come back? I think it is possible it is "showing" because it takes some time to not just delete the image, but also clear the cache of the image.

Try this, delete the one time, then hit home, then come back and see if it is still there.
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
Thank you for the quick response, but unfortunately its still there....

is there a way you delete your photos from the gallery?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Same way you do for a single photo, and it works just fine. What ROM are you running? Have you tried a soft rest to see if the problem persists?
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
Stock Rom with 2.1update 1 i have the ATT branded n1 that i just got 2 days ago.

and yes i did just do a soft reset and even turned off the phone....still doing the same thing....

But i did notice that if i delete photos off the camera app itself it deletes the first time. Its just when i open pictures from the gallery app i have to delete it over and over until it disappears.....
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Perhaps this is just an instance of "touchscreen calibration issues". In other words, the "up event" for your finger press ends up triggering an inch or two below where your finger touched and so it hits the menu softkey instead.

I get this with the keyboard a lot. I'm typing away and suddenly the keyboard goes away like it does when I hit a soft key. It seems to affect some phones more than others and some people's tapping styles more than others. Try making sure your finger lifts straight up vertically rather than on a diagonal towards the direction of the soft keys.

(With respect to why you are able to delete things more easily in other apps - perhaps because the screen is landscape and/or the control to confirm the deletion is more isolated than when you do what you are doing in the video?)
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
If you watch the video, though, the delete button line itself highlights... I am not sure what the cause is, probably an issue with the base ROM on his phone? Maybe a bad factory flash of sorts... it forgot a 0 at an odd spot that causes it to take three deletes to delete it from the gallery... not sure.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
I've had problems where one button highlights and it looks like I successfully pressed it, but just before the menu goes away another button below it highlights ever so briefly. If you didn't see the other button highlight you would have sworn it registered the first button normally.

Given that the soft-keys don't highlight when you select them, if they are the ones that eventually register the touch then you wouldn't see anything different than what happens in that video...
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
Yeah i thought it was the screen clicking in the different places other than where i put my finger. but doesnt seem like the case. i hit the confirm delete and it hightlighted it and i ddint see any other icons highlighted after i press that....so i dont think it was that. although i did consider that at first.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Have you considered eating more Fiber? :D
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
LOL I didn't think anyone would actually say that! Well done!

Hello everyone.

First off all i hope this post is in the right section.

Let me get this out off the way first:

Im not good at english, and im not good at cmd files and so on.

But! i can succecsfully root my phone and get the # in cmd.

The reason im rooting is becouse i want the market patch so i can see all apps.

Here is my questions:

1. Whenever i try to adb push vending......

It says "the file is read-only" i cheked its not read only

So how do i fix that?

2. In the guide to root the phone he says:

"You can do anything then! Look at /system, /data, etc etc. You're broken free, my friend"

Where can i see the /system and so on? he says look at, but where can i look at it? how can i like acces the folders?.

So on the easy way, i search a way to install the market patch.

Thank you everyone :)
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Bump, i really hope someone will help
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Anyone? please?
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
When you have root, you need to mount r/w partition:

- adb push tattoo-hack.ko ./data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko (if you haven't did it before)

- adb shell

$

- su

#

- # insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko

- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data

- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

And now you have mounted in r/w, so:

- adb push Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk /system/app/Vending.apk

p.s. ah...you can access system folders with Root Explore (it needs root)
[Click Android Development] ephumuris:
I never had to mount anything. I did the latest root hack in the sticky at top of forum and then i installed the full market apk. Worked a treat.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
I'm happy for you, but someone like me (and mafiapanda in that case) did old manual root. :cool:

Thank you im going to try it out now, thanks
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Okay, after i get the

then i did what you said.

i get it again

# adb push vending.....

"adb not found"

Ehhmm can you help me there?

Everyting was succesfull except pushing it.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Of course, it's normal :D

You have to write "adb push vending....." non in "adb shell" but in "adb" :) (open another cmd and as for example "cd c:\android\tools", then "adb push" etc.) ;)
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Stupid me :)

Am so thankfull to you guys, you really helped me alot :) Thank you really much!
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Okay, now i get "permisson denied" when im trying to "adb push vending..."

I opened a new CMD and typed cd c android tools, i just get permission denied.

Can anyone help me about that? :) Thank you guys so far :)
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Have you opened new cmd closing the other or not?

You don't have to close the first cmd.

Try. If it doesn't work, probably there are some problems with the root procedure, in that case try that solution: Root in 1 click. It contains: root, boot.img, market (also recovery if you choose it).
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Yea, i have tryed root in 1 click, but does it really include market?
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Root in 1 click gives me the same error :(?

Okay maybe this is alot to ask for but is there anyone out there that can make a video of it all from rooting to push market. i would be so thankfull.

And its not just for me, it would help alot out there. im so thank full :)
[Click Android Development] mafiapanda:
Damn, now it says "read only file system" again.

Can anyone post a detalied how-to :) Thank you really much.

Im going to bed now, cheking this post tommorow.

Btw, i would love to have talk with someone on msn, steam or mail.

Am from denmark if it matters.

THANK YOU :)
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
You have to repeate that every time you reboot:

- adb shell

$

- su

#

- # insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko

- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data

- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

And then you have mounted in r/w:

- adb push Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk /system/app/Vending.apk

Maybe i should at a guide to this forum? i dont know if anyone needs it but.. :D

Okay last last question, when i search for "video" i see 300 results which am very happy for but, on the picture he had 500 how can i get 500 ? :D

300 rather than 500? I'll try..

[HD2 General] ArtieQ:
I just installed the official ROM for Topaz which brings us Sense 2.5. Now, I have changed all my icons on the whole phone to new ones but when I add one as quicklink in Sense it just shows the default one.

What can I do about this?
[HD2 General] Sean3:
ArtieQ, you can find the icon path for the quick links in File Explorer->Application Data->HTC->ProgramLauncher. Those override the icons in the start menu. That would be one place to start. You could try deleting the default icon there and the icon you are using in your start menu should work. Be sure to backup/copy the default before deleting it.
[HD2 General] ArtieQ:
The icons that don't show up is not in the ProgLauncher folder, why's that? Can't seem to fix this..
[HD2 General] Sean3:
The way I've done it in the past is to delete the icon in programlauncher. HTC presets those icons to appear in quicklinks for the programs listed in that folder. All other programs use the icon in the startmenu. If you install new icons, they will not go into the programlauncher folder. So, if you see the icon you installed in the startmenu try deleting the associated default icon in programlauncher. For example, I wanted to use the google maps icon in the startmenu instead of the default one used by HTC in quicklinks. So I deleted the googlemaps icon in programlauncher and it then defaulted to the one in my startmenu.
[HD2 General] bobbified:
I'm trying to set the text input (especially when writing sms') so that the first letter of each sentence is NOT capitalized... I'm in a habit of writing informal sms' so I prefer everything in lower case.

I've tried going into.... Personal > Input > Options and have unchecked the "Capitalise first letter of sentence" option already, but it still seems to do it regardless. Also tried soft and hard resetting, but doesnt seem to have any effect.

I'm using Swype 3.9 at the moment, but it was already capitilizing with the original keyboard. Also, it's Dutty's ROM that I'm using, but I've tried a few others and it's still the same.

Does anyone know if there's a separate setting somewhere else or if there's anything else I should be trying?
