[Nexus One General] cbhawsar:
It looks like the time when you were locking-unlocking the bootloader, you messed up the recovery. Since your phone can get into bootloader menu, I think you can get out of this issue.

Here is what I would do.

1. Unlock the bootloader.

2. flash clockworkmod recovery using fastboot USB.

3. Download recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img, put it in C:\fastboot\

4. Shut down your phone. Then start your Nexus One in Fastboot mode by holding down the Trackball and press the Power button.

5. Connect your phone to your computer. Open a Command Prompt (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt), and run the following commands:

cd C:\fastboot

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img

now see if you can get into recovery. If you can, just flash a custom rom using install zip from sd card option in the recovery
[Nexus One General] behelit:
I didn't read all the replies but fastboot reads from your PC's disk not the sdcard, unless you are running it through shell or something?

[General Questions and Answers] richardvilla:
Hi all

i ve recently purchased an o2 orbit 1 and having real trouble with it. Firstly, the windows mobile device software doesnt work from the start up disk so i downloaded it. After installing it runs but displays error with a red cross (im running vista).

The phone says "connected" but doesn't sync.

I cannot put anything like pictures, music or excel files from pc to Orbit. It says "cannot copy file". Akso cannot bluetooth any files either.

Lastly, I cannot connect to the internet via wifi. My other wifi devices like laptop and Nokia n95 connect fine.

Ive got the Windowsmobile6 if that help. im at my wits end and thinking of selling the thing!

Hi..

I am using dopod 838pro running windows mobile 6, can someone please attach an application that can toggle the camera LED light on or off?? or maybe SOS?? btw there is an application (candelite or something like that.. i don't really remember the exact name of it :D ) but when you toggle the light on.. it automatically toggles it of after a specific time.. not useful:(

so please if you have something for me, it will be great:)

thanks

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoLLAJoLLA:
Hello everyone maybe you can shed some light on a problem I have been having with my xperia.

everything works perfectly fine with no complaints except for one thing thats really starting to bother me. If I leave the device on with MSN Messenger running for any period of time, eventually the device goes into standby mode and all the buttons become unresponsive. The phone itself is still on but all the hardware keys (including keyboard and power button) become unresponsive resulting in an inability to wake the device back up and forcing me to take out the battery and restart the device that way. Some times it will happen before it goes into standby mode and the touchscreen will still be operational but none of the physical buttons. Anyone else had this problem? what can I do to fix this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Try Fring or Slick.

[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Does you X2 do this?

I just got my X2 and I have 2 bugs that I can't figure out.

(1) If I turn on WIFI the phone stalls/hangs. If I remove battery and restart then it starts up fine and wifi is now running. Turn off WIFI and no problems. Turn it back on, same thing happens!

(2) I just cant seem to install TomTom, it installed and worked fine on my X1 and is compatible with Windows 6.5.
[XPERIA X2 General] schaotan:
Just one of the many bugs plaguing the X2.

The wifi crashing has happened to me before, the only method that worked was re-installing the OS via SEUS. Phone seems to run much better after that.

And hope for the march update to come along soon.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Re-installing the OS eh? Hmmm... I just might have to do this.

I did a full factory reset, but I guess it is not as good then.

I finally got TomTom installed, this time I ran the CAB and started doing other stuff on the phone (as it takes so long to install) A few minutes later it said it was installed. WTF?

But of course, the software cant find the GPS, I think I saw a fix for that somewhere.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
And I also have the question to X2 owners:

For sure X1 and previous SE devices like P990, P1

have a strange cap/limitation regarding

PICTURE size.

So when picture has a lot of detail and a lot of light in it

and the fiinal size is around 1,5 MB

the phone freezes after taking such a photo

without saving it.

I've had specific landscapes which were always causing that!

Is that the same on X2?

On X1 it's a very rare thing, but definitely present.
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
1) This problem was solved by re-flash with SEUS. Yes, I flashed the same version that I had already in X2. Both same versions but newer is much better. I thing that SE quiet updated a few files but keep the name.

2) X2 using different GPS port than X1. This why TT can´t find GPS. You need to instal Franson GPSGate, this port emulator can emulate right port, whitch TT can see. At least, TT is the only navi software that have this problem. iGo works fluently, the same as Garmin.

PS: Sorry for my poor english.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
also remember to install the small patch that SEUS released a few weeks ago.. it fixes a few bugs.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok friends.

Got my X2 finally!!!!

So before any eventual upgrade, my questions.

Many things actually surprised me....

So:

Where is my language??

I have a polish device but no clue where are my polish letters?

Where is WM keyboard or handwriting?

Or it has ONLY SE keyboard installed??

Where is Illumination setting?

Where is the option to display battery and next appointment when pressing clock on top bar?

Where is the option to power the device up with any key?

Where is the option to turn on/off the proximity sensor??

How can I set sending program with X icon to backround?!

I just couldn't find it anywhere!!

Also it looks like less responsive than X1.

Aha and one more:

My firmware is R1AA097

R5A

GENERIC_PL

It's the latest right??

I will be very grateful for answers.

I'm kind of confused a bit.
[XPERIA X2 General] emuneee:
"Where is the option to display battery and next appointment when pressing clock on top bar?"

This is an issue with Windows Mobile 6.5. AFAIK all Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs have this issue. :o

And the X2 has no choice but to me less responsive. The touch screen sensitizer is under the plastic on the front of the device where as on the X1 it was laid directly on the screen.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I see.

Do you have a clue about the rest of my questions?

Lack of my native letters is a disaster.
[XPERIA X2 General] emuneee:
I do not unfortunately. :(
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I just received almost all the answers at Esato.

But not about language/native letters support.

This is something to investigate further...
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
I've had the x2 for 2 months now, got it from the U.S i put it away because it was annoying me (to many bugs) now i'm using an HTC HD2 LEO I'M not going to use it again unless se realeases new firmware for it, other than that i'ts a very good device. some answers to your questions

(A) changing the language on the keyboard start/settings/ personal/ keyboard/languages/ the list drops down there are 23 languages supported even greek !

(b) no prximity sensor

(C) no option to option to power the device up with any key

(D) Illumination setting start/settings/personal/sounds and notifications/ it's all there personalize anything you want

(E) no sending program with X icon to backround

I hope i helped you in some way, I think that there are limited settings in general in wm 6.5 because my HTC HD2 has also limited settings but i'm very satisfied with my hd2 because i's very stable no crashes or hang ups.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
@mathiosn

Thanks!

Actually X2 has proximity sensor,

but it works only in TileWave.

Regarding languages:

Yes of course there's a huge list of languages.

But apparently choosing my Polish

looks like English!!

No Polish letters at all!!

And that's a problem.
[XPERIA X2 General] orelsi:
Oh :eek: I see you did get a X2.... congrats.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ha!

Are you sarcastic or serious?

Yes I did and probably wil use it for a looong time :)
[XPERIA X2 General] orelsi:
Totally serious. I still think it is not worth it, but if you like it, you deserve gratz for it.
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
thanks for the reply, i used the x2 for a week, i did not use tilewave very much to try the proximity sensor.

as for the languages in the keyboard layout if you press the little ''world'' icon it shows you the lanuage that you have chosen have you tried that?
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Its not true. Proximity sensor is working very good! Primarily in Dialer (when I´m calling and move the phone close to my head, proximity sensor turn display off).

So its working...
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Of course I tried that.

But choosing polish gives only normal alphabet

no polish letters!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I see :)

Well I don't like everything

but I think it's decent
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Whipee!

I got all the polish and other letters!

Just make a long press on a letter and all the extra ones appear!

Good.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
install "fingerkeyboard 2" much better than the keyboards supplied and its free. its a must for any wm phone to be honest, also has many languages including polish.

also have you got the SPB panel?? its also free and should be with your phone. if not then have a look for it. once again, its a must for any wm phone. many excellant features and highly customisable. the free version is 3.1 i think but if you look around you can find the 3.5 version which is better again.. its not free but if you know where to look then its not a problem ;)

SPB panel will show you the battery and next appointment and you can customise it to have a slider for the illumination too.

i found it a bit annoying that i couldnt click on the battery icon top right like on the X1. but ive got a program called "ariel battery 2" just copy the .exe into your startup folder. it replaces the windows icon top left and shows the battery percentage at all times. very handy. that is also free.

it looks like you have the latest firmware. there is also a small patch available to fix some problems. make sure you have that too.

http://xperiancers.com/2010/02/26/x2-application-update-at-www-sonyericsson-comupdate/
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
Yes, finger keyboard 2 is pretty good. SPB Mobile Shell could be good too, but:

1) SPB Mobile Shell (integrated in X2) does not have support for landscape view!!! This is a very annoying! 3.5 version doesn´t support landscape too, I think (not sure). When I switch to landscape all icons are disordered...

2) SPB Mobile Shell doesn´t show last x tasks. This is a very big problem! SE panels 1,2 from X1 have this function. Only I want is, to display last e.g. five tasks on main screen. SPB can´t do this... Why?? Its so simple elemental function.... :confused::confused:

(Where is the SE panels 1,2, which is shown on box, at all? )
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
@anothadave

Thanks for reply!

In the meantime I found all the polish letters in X2.

So it's fine.

And I must say - SE virtual keyboard is awesome!!!

So no need to look for anything else.

I must say SE keys spacing is great.

I know fingerkeyb. but wasn't really impressed.

As for homescreen:

I actually don't like SPB at all which I know

and love for their Weather.

I immediately uninstalled it from my X1

preferring AWESOME SE panels which are - for me

much more functional.

I basically think SE designers are the best...

I also tried it on my X2 but uninstalled it after 15 minutes.

It's just a confusing extra layer for me.

Too much eyecandy.

Slide view is great.

I like the default TileWave panel.

And the default WM 6.5 homescreen.

Honestly I also want SE Panels but cannot download them!

Edit:

I'm quite impressed with X2.

The best build and designed device I ever had in my hands.

Top notch.

WM 6.5 will be awesome after some optimisation.

Orientation switching is faster than on X1 what is really nice!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
i didnt like the tilewave thing at all. lol. seemed far too fussy and not really many features. seems very basic compared to SPB. and id uninstall the slideview if i could. the spb panel on X2 has another mode called "lifestyle" which is much nicer than the spb professional panel that was on the X1. plus you can scroll left and right and have many more apps at your fingertips. i cant really remember what you get with the free SPB panel but ive got SPB 3.5 and it outperfoms all of the sony panels added together. its the only thing i use on the xperia to be honest. id get rid of the rest if i could :P but ive customised it quite a lot to get it the way i like it. i think thats the secret to getting the most out of it. in its default form its not that great but very powerful when you get to grips with it. you can put anythin you want wherever you want. so you can ditch stuff you never use and keep everything on one page right under your fingertips. iill have to see if i can figure out a way to take a picture of my layout and put it on here. see what you think.

if you like the SE keyboard then im surprised you dont like fingerkeyboard. the layout and look are near identical (personally i think sony where trying to copy fingerkeyboard lol) but on the SE keyboard you have to switch to a different mode for punctuation and numbers. very annoying. but on fingerkeyboard each key has two functions, just hold it in for numbers or punctuation. much easier and quicker to write with. i found the SE keyboard very frustrating when trying to text. to me it seems a basic requirement to have "." and "," on the same screen as letters..
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well, if Fingerkeyb is almost the same as SE

why should I install it

to have two similar ones?

As for SPB, as I said,

this widget based UI with pages you scroll to

is just annoying

also I don't like it graphically.

A matter of taste.
[XPERIA X2 General] sjw6820528:
I SEE ,can any one get me one Chinese X1 rom?
[XPERIA X2 General] filip210189:
Has anyone tried using TV out? I can't get it to work:S
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
well you wouldnt have two keyboards of course lol.. you would only use one! i meant theyre similar graphically but in terms of functionality theyre not. you would install fingerkeyboard for the advantage of increased speed and productivity by not having to switch modes just to insert a comma or a fullstop or a number. but i suppose it depends if you use punctuation and numbers on a regular basis. next time you write something count how many times you have to hit that button at the bottom for a number or punctuation... ive just written a text using SE as a test and it must of taken twice as long!

but yes as you say its a matter of taste. one mans meat is another mans poison as the saying goes. im sure theres a similar saying in polish
[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
Ditto, seconded, exactly. SPB MS is the salvation of WM phones in my opinion. What will they do now that WM 6.5 is headed out to pasture? Bummer for them.

I think MS should have bought SPB and deeply integrated it into WM 6.5. They would easily compete with Android.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Integration would be good of course.

Real integration.

In the current state SPB is something I was never into.

Don't like widgets, as well as their icons and annoying swiping between pages.

The single screen mode is unpleasant to watch.

I really prefer relying on standard WM menu.

All is about personal estehetic taste...

I love the feel of Tilewave (not the homescreen but the whole functionality

under the button)

@anothadave

Well on X1 I didn't want this Fingerkeyb.

because I preferred WM keyboard regarding

one "page" with everything

and of course - gestures I really love.

On X2 I see no sense for installing

second similar software.

At least SE keyboard is fine for me.

ANYWAY

I wait for a final jump to X2 for the upgrade,

to omit painful restore process.

Now just testing it.

Photos are GREAT and it's one of the features I was happy for!

Build quality is outstanding.

Call quality is great!

Ringtones should be louder.

The ones I use are not that much more quiet than X1...

But I want more!

The sound quality is much better.

The feel of the device is great

much more "home" than X1.

I miss those two extra buttons I've had on X1.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
if they had bought SPB no doubt they would of cocked it up and ruined it.lol. when i got SPB on the X1 it really was the killer app for me. its a shame we cant make it so there arent so many "Layers" we've got wm6.5 with slideview on top and then SPB or Tilewave on top of that aswell. im sure it doesnt help performance having so many things together. when youve picked the interface you like to use theres not really much use in having the others on there slowing it all down.

youll soon forget about those two buttons dominstry. i did notice them at first but now im used to just pressing the screen instead. its only a couple millimetres above where the buttons used to be so its not too bad. i do miss the 4 way cursor buttons that used to be around the optical pad but its another thing you eventually get used to.

i love the build quality and design of the X2. much better than the X1. very stylish and feels nice and sturdy :) like you say, it has a very good "feel" to it.

i wonder how it would work if they just had a full face screen on the X3 (if they ever make one). just do away with the buttons all together. i rarely use any of the buttons on the X2 apart from the slideview button occasionally. For calls and locking the phone i just use the touchscreen buttons. i do like the optical mouse but mostly only use it for occasionally scrolling through texts, i dont think i use it for anything else. i think id prefer a nice 4" screen and sacrifice the remaining hardware. they could still have a tiny button in the corner just to access the slideview/panels. like some of the HTC phones have..
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Agree with 90%

Adding that I like - yes I do! - standard WM 6.5 menu...

As for the buttons:

well I will adopt as always.

The thing is though they were customizable on X1,

what was giving me one perfect thing:

acces to (3rd party) task manager with one click.

Very usable with instant switch between apps.

The second one mapped for Contacts.

I never used these buttons as replica

of onscreen ones, which I press directly of course!

Like I did on P1 for instance....

Now I have to go through menu to do that.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
lol well the joys of SPB.... ive got the SKV task manager and phone contacts as shortcuts on my main screen right above where the hard buttons used to be. so its near enough same as before :P

you probably already know this, but if youre using the standard WM 6.5 and youve got the latest update then possibly the quickest way (using a hard key) is hold in the phone button and then u can access contacts one click later.

maybe some clever programmer will make it so if you hold in the phone button for certain length of time it will automatically go to contacts?

eg quick 1 second press opens the dialer. longer 3 seconds press opens contacts instead..
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Thanks,

actually I don't have this update

I just wait for the major one!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Pity,

TaskManager by Fdc Soft is not working on X2.

Does anybody use a good task manager which

has the option to

control/kill processes??
[XPERIA X2 General] orelsi:
This one si simple and functional at the same time:

[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:

[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
SKtools is a very good program too. its got a suite of useful applications including a very good task manager. also it can make full backups of your phone, benchmark your phones performance, tweak hidden options and a dozen other things too.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
ok, thanks!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
SKTools purchased.

A very advanced tool indeed.

@anothadave

So, did you try a FULL backup with it?

Like with settings and installed apps?
[XPERIA X2 General] orelsi:
Just be careful with the settings. It can boost the overall performance of the device a bit, but it has a high chance of messing it up as well.

I had the bad luck to erase some of my video drivers while tweaking, so be mindful :D.

...and I haven't tried that full backup option, but backups usually only lead to problems (laggyness, freezes, etc.), so I don't plan to either.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Thanks. I don't tweak devices with - even so good - tools

because I'm not that educated to know how it works

and what to do eventually if the device will get screwed.

It's my work tool on a first place.

The backup is interesting though because it saves time.

BTW I just want to be sure:

If I use PPCM Backup and than install it on other device

and run restore, it will not restore all the data from the previous device?

It doesn't work like MyPhone or it does?
[XPERIA X2 General] orelsi:
AFAIK it won't. You will need to do an image of the device for that. I don't use backup at all or for personal items only. I always have problems with restored apps afterward.
