[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackstuard:
Hi,

I'd like to know if X10 has that proximity sensor, that, during calls for example, can detect if your face is near of the phone, turning off the screen and saving some battery. I'm my opinion this is very useful.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belazor:
Yes it does, although the stated usage is to avoid the face interacting with the touch capability. I don't know if it turns the screen off.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackstuard:
at least for my old Motorola Cliq the sensor is able to turn the screen on and off..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeziel:
I haven't had any problems talking with the phone against my cheek. Read on a swedish forum about someone getting sms during a call and seemingly had answered the sms with his cheek. Needless to say, it was filled with junk^^
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamso:
Yeah, I read that too! But I have never had any problems like that myself. Works like a charm! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casanovacoconut:
Yes. It has a proximity sensor. It is near the top to the right of the speaker. It will disable the touch and dim the screen (which will also turn off after a time) when it is against your face.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimma:
Does anyone know if the sensitivity of the proximity sensor can be tweaked. Mine only blanks the screen when i put my finger within about 1-2 mm of the screen. Now i know i have big ears, but if i position the phone so that it is hard against my face but the proximity sensor is over the centre of my ear the phone comes on. Anyone else get that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
yes it can through build.prop you can chane how quick it turn on
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
I needed to change that for my wife, she kept hanging up when the oboe was against her cheek lol

I have no issues.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vilhomer:
does the proximity sensor also works in pants or shirt??

for example: i pick up a call using bluetooth and the phone is in my pants, it seems that the phone screen n touch screen is on... if i move my body and accidentaly touch the "end call" button i suddenly hang up... this also happen if i accidentaly hit the speaker key on the screen... i know donut 1.6 doesnt have this problem, but after update to eclair 2.1 the screen doesnt shut if i pick up a call using a bluetooth...
[Desire General] gogol:
Hi,

This is a new thing for me (yes, I am too late in this kind of VOIP service).

Which one is better for Android, judging for the client app?

If I read from the Nimbuzz at Cyrket, a lot of users complaint about the new version 1.4, Facebook got hacked, etc.

Fring also does not look satisfying.

So, if you are using this, which one do you recommend? and why? :D

For me, client reliability and network / connectivity are the most important.

Thanks for sharing !
[Desire General] gogol:
Damn ...

I found that NimbuzzOut is not supported on Nimbuzz Android app :(

I want to use it to make international calls to land-line / mobile ...
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
calling to mobile and landlines works. just tried it. it took cash from my skype account

edit: i see. nimbuzz have their own system.
[Desire General] gogol:
So, if I buy Skype credits ... then I can make call to mobile and landlines using Nimbuzz client, right? Because there is no native Skype client for Android ...

I prefer Nimbuzz own call system (NimbuzzOut), because it is much cheaper compare to Skype.
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
Yes if u have a skype account you buy skype credits and in nimbuzz justr login to your skype account .Voila.
[Desire General] O and O:
Can you send SMS with either?
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
Nimbuzz says it sends it but it actually doesnt. havent tried with Fring.
[Desire General] rori~:
..I read in the other thread about Nimbuzz that "it´s is always connected and it does not support push notification, so is draining alot battery.."

Well I used fring before, which was enough for my needs to have several account (skype,icq...), than I tried Nimbuzz and liked to have my Faceb. account, cool..BUT: the drain is real! Fring need much less battery!..but no FB ;)
[Desire General] disgustip8ted:
nimbuzz doesnt appear to have sip support in android client yet, big turn off for me, since im trying to consolidate messenger/communications apps.

sipdroid sounded like crap on my phone

fring seems pretty good, sip aim msn support and sip sounds really good quality, except its UI is ugly as balls, anyone know a way to skin it differently?

ive been using google voice with a gizmo5 number and setting up the sip account in fring and it connects pretty nicely for voip, its nice so far when i am home and have no cell reception and someone calls my cell(google voice number) and it sends the call to my sip client(fring)
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I've tested both for making Skype-out calls. Both work fine. I'd prefer Nimbuzz because of the interface. But is it just me, or is there no dialer in Nimbuzz? This is the only reason I'm sticking with Fring at the moment...
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
I gotta say that I tried both and Nimbuzz was a clear winner for voice quality over wifi to Skype friends. Fring also has a slight delay in audio.

But I've kept Fring because of fring-a-ling (SIP calls) which work fine.
[Desire General] youngWMuser:
Does anybody know of any VOIP calling to international numbers for absolutely free for windows mobile. Cause im sick and tired of 200 dollar bills coming into my mail.

Thanks.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Absolutely free. I'm sure we would all want that.

Free calls to landlines don't exist. But what's wrong with Skype? The rates are ridiculously low.

http://www.skype.com/prices/callrates/
[Desire General] youngWMuser:
I've used fring. My landline is much cheaper. But if you add up all the minutes, It becomes expensive, especially to germany and UK. It's like 29 cents/min. Thats ALOT.

[Windows Mobile] animelover:
Hi guys, I'm having a really strange, annoying and bothersome bug: after using my ROM (Build 23554 with gwes.exe from 23551) for a few minutes it stucks completey at last used windows and never switches back to the Homescreen! When this happens, my device suspends itself and when I want bing it back from standby it switches itself again into standby! The only solution for this is to remove the battery and put it back again!

Where's my mistake? :confused:

BTW:

Using OEMXipKernel, OEMDrivers, OEMDriversHigh and os.nb.payload from TMO US 2.10 ROM with HTC GER 1.66 ROM, if it's important to know!

Hi I am a newbie here and I have a Nexus one.

After unlock and rooted, i tried to enter the recovery mode. But I encounter problem. I cannot get into the green recovery mode. Instead I got an exclamation mark (!) warning with a little android standing on side of the mark. Can anybody tell me what I did wrong?

Thank you,

Jack
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnderCoverLover:
Did you flash amon-RA-1.7.0 yet?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You didn't install a custom recovery image. See the rooting guide here and it tells you how to do that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack2k5:
No.. I only unlocked and rooted.

But I am not sure if my phone is rooted because it doesn't indicate that the phone is rooted after i run the superboot.bat file. The command prompt only came up for a sec and then gone.

When I open my phone. It is just like a new Nexus One. Except for unlocked sign when I boot up.

Thanks for the help

Jack
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnderCoverLover:
It's unlocked, now flash the recovery image, back-up, then wipe and flash Rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack2k5:

Hi, thanks for the tip

I was able to boot into the recovery image and do a back up from there.

Now I am trying to flash the image into my Nexus one. But when I type fastboot-windows flash ... it says unknown partition and cannot recognize the file name..

can you please help again? thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
The terminal method from the phone is probably easier for you to do.

Most likely you didn't cd to the correct directory where the file is from command prompt. Give us a picture of what you did and the error and the steps you took to get to the point you are at because the guide and programs work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack2k5:
hi.. i spent a lot of time reading and trying.. finally this is what i did to make it work

Step 1. fastboot-windows boot recover image file <-- this is how to got into recovery mode and back up

Step 2. fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery.image.file.name <-- this replace my original recovery flash and the little annoy android man is gone

I did backup again after Step 2. By now I think I realize that Step 1 is the same as Step 2. But no harm backing up two times..

I then installed a new rom into my N1.. everything looks fine now.. i will go ahead and try out some features..

Thank you for all the advices

When i root is it possible to go back to stock? Also all my paid apps and pictures etc will they stay? Or how would i go about backin up my apps?

Im used to the whole flashing Windows mobile roms but android is new to me
[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
as of now there is no way to relock the bootloader.

search is your friend.
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
When you root do a nandroid. This will allow you to be able to go back to the stock rom if you flash a custom. You can use the stock rom or a custom rom. The bootloader can not be relocked once it is unlocked. If a app is purchased it will always show on the download list in the market.

any help or suggestions dude's?
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
Just got my HTC Desire today and everything is working fine apart from the android market. I have 3 problems:

1) I don't have the paid apps tab only top free and just in. I can see paid apps within the just in section, but not top paid apps.

2) When I clock on the install button I get a blank screen with just the background gui showing for at least 10-20 seconds before the confirmation screen that shows what permissions the app needs is finally shown.

3) Apps install correctly however they never get removed from the "currently downloading" list in the Downloads section of the android market.

I got the phone through virgin mobile and I am currently using a t-mobile sim in it. I have tried doing a factory reset which didn't solve the problem.

Anyone had any similar issues?

Liam
[Desire General] Karolis:
Please search before posting.

Your problems will be solved by removing t-mobile content lock. It can be done through their website or by calling customer service.

One problem will remain though: so far no one can see copy-protected apps because market is not recognizing our build number. It should be solved soon though.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
Hi,

The phone actually came from Virgin Mobile, but for the moment I am using my old T-Mobile sim which used to be in my G1 which didn't have any problems with the market. I seem to remember de-activating the content lock when I used the browser for the first time on my g1.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
I just checked on my t-mobile account details and I definitely have the content lock turned off.

I still have the same problem with the market, i.e. I get about 20 seconds of blank screen after clicking install before the permission confirmation details come up.

And after an app is installed it still shows in the download section as installing with the grey progress bar and doesn't disappear unless I go to the settings/Applications and clear the cache in download manager, market and force close the market app.

Anyone have any similar problems? I have done a full factory reset three times, still the same problems.

Liam
[Desire General] PauloJ5:
I just got mine, its a open one unbranded. I can neither connect to gtalk or download apps, both hang. I have read similar problems for the Droid, but the fixes dont work for me.
[Desire General] PauloJ5:
Also can you connect the device to the internet via the PC, like windows mobile ?
[Desire General] Karolis:
That's odd. My problems were solved by removing content lock.

Does the same thing happen on WiFi? Did you try to restart the device?

Regarding PC to phone tethering, it's not possible over USB. There are guides on how to do it over WiFi though.
[Desire General] IanVaughan:
Its the same for me : confirmed that content lock is off.

and still have this problem.

On Tmobile, upgraded from G1, same sim.

I get this on wifi or not.

If I restart the device, the Market Place states its installed correctly (like it should do). But installing another shows the same problem.

I've done a Factory Reset via the menu and that did solve it.

And I've just phoned tmo tech support, and they recommend resetting via fastboot.

I'll give that a go later, and post back the results.

Any other ideas?
[Desire General] PauloJ5:
Its really weird. Yesterday at a different wifi location it worked fine. But again its not working in work. I assume then the downloads are being blocked by the service provider, or the router.

Thats really crap you cannot connect to the internet via the USB cable like in windows mobile. I cant get my data service working either - so in work I have to work.

:(
[Desire General] IanVaughan:
ok, I did a clear storage from the fastboot menu, I assumed that what he meant, had no effect.

but figured it out!!!!!!

its my gmail/Google account thats the problem! if I reset the phone and created a new account it works fine. log back in as me, bang. back as previously created new account, fine.

1. is this the same for other people?

2. the people who are having this problem, are you all previous Android users?

3. if so, what phone? me was G1.

I will have to raise a bug with android or google on this.

I now also have to ring back tmo and tell them this info, as I'm guessing by his language he want to take the phone back in.

[Desire General] deovferreira:
Beware that while most apps like gmail, calendar, contacts, etc work using port 80 (HTTP), both google talk and android market use different ports.

In my school network I can't connect to gtalk or download from market because they block those ports on the firewall.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
I previously had a g1 and think the problems I was having had something to do with my gmail account but it seemed to resolve itself after several factory resets.

I am not convinced that the factory reset was what fixed it, I just think it needed a bit of time to sort itself out.

I wonder if having a new device with the same gmail account causes the issue and it takes a while to recognise the new device. though that doesn't really explain the behaviour I was seeing.

same problem here, gone from a G1 to HTC desire not tryed to sign up with a new account simply becasue i had the xxxx.xxx:@gmail mail now for over 18 months and rely on it. :confused:
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
All I know is that the day after I got my Desire, probably about 24 hours after first turning it on (and after 4 factory resets which may have nothing to do with it) I was installing an app, which had the same problems i.e. delayed permissions screen, remaining in the download screen even after being installed succesfully, then a few minutes later I went to install another app and it was fine, no delay, suddenly I had the Top Paid apps tab and apps did not remain in the download section as still downloading. It has been fine ever since.

It seems that all of us who have this problem have had G1s previously so it must be something to do with that.
[Desire General] riz157:
I experienced this issue with my new desire but not one with older rom. Both from T-Mobile. The funny thing was first day it was running pretty slow, could not view paid apps either but now it is much faster as it should be and paid apps have appeared too. So it's working brilliantly.
[Desire General] tito kastros:
i have market problems too... i cant see many market apps, including paid apps which i bought..

it's a free desire with vodafone spain sim.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
That's a different issue, apparently Google have not yet added the HTC Desires "fingerprint" to some kind of database that enables access to apps with copy protection, this is why some apps you have previously purchased won't show up.

Apparently this happens with all new handsets, though why Google don't get this resolved before the phones release I don't know, as it doesn't give a great experience to the end user (HTC say they sent the fingerprint well before the phone was released but google haven't processed it yet).

Hopefully this should be resolved soon. Until then I have had to extract a few of my more regularly used protected apps from my G1 with root.
[Desire General] tito kastros:
But it happens to me with free apps too.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Any application developer can choose to use copy protection, some free apps choose to do that.
[Desire General] tito kastros:
thanks for the answers!
[Desire General] dreamdealer:
well seems to of fixed it self now, no factory reset or anything. i did how ever sign in on a new account on my G1, incase it was google account realated although there was no imdiate impact and the problem persisited 1 day after doing so i restarted my desire and everything is showing on the android market and is running a very satifactory speed.
[Desire General] IanVaughan:
Same here, after many resets and other testing, having left it to its self for a few days its started to work correctly (even faster than I recall from the G1!).

So, if you have this problem, leave it a week, and then come back if its not solved!
[Desire General] jbaldwinroberts:

Hi, i'm italian and my desire is no brand.

I also have this problem, my Google account it's too large and market is slow..
[Desire General] walkerx:
for mybackup pro go to their website, download it, install on phone - u will need your original invoice number to activate the software.

for users having install problems, it could be down to your actually sim-card - as i have a T-Mobile G1 and Virgin Desire, as T-Mobile messed me about - I have both switched on and linked to same googlemail account and downloads and gmail work fine.

You could ask T-Mobile to send a replacement sim and see if that rectifies it - i know it's a long shot but no harm in trying..

[Off-topic] bored2nite:
im going to express my opinion that there is nothing better than if your email address / server is on both exchange (2010 preferably) and BES(X).

Basically if you have one for work and the other for "fun," if each phone is synced respectively to each option... updating contacts between the two is soo easily seamless.

Now having your work or personal domain hooked onto both before was a luxury... but now with BESX... all of you that already use exchange, you should try to convince ur IT to install BESX as well (since its free BES now)... and if you ask me, its basically headache free syncing between ur two phones.

(and no more dealing with crap google sync to keep updated between the two and ur BB having duplicated and mashed together contacts)

There might not be many people on here with this situation, but i thought it was awesome!!!

ROM and RAM are two separate terms, google them if you have questions about what they mean.

Try the following CABs to improve %s. Install and restart, let me know if you see a difference. You might also want to download cleanRAM or SK Tools to clear your RAM occasionally.
