my girlfriends hero has the same issue. it has android 1.5 and she wont let me flash a new rom on it >:( so she is getting annoyed with it because of this gmail/googlemail fiasco. Nevermind, il just say sorry it needs a new rom...:D
[Desire General] jfran:
couldn't you simply remove the accounts and readd?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
can't be done due to embedded linked data - I just reset the phone and set it up again (which I'll do again tonight once I've baked an MCRr2+App2SD)
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Just change your account back to @googlemail.com if you can't be arsed with a reset. You only gain Picasa sync anyway.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I wanted the gmail.com as it's quicker to type! I'm lazy!
[Desire General] alexbush:
Even if you are officially @googlemail you should be able to use @gmail in all incoming and outgoing mail - works for me
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Correctamundo.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
I do the same thing, my account is officially google

mail

But if I use gmail instead I still receive and send all my emails.

And if you change to gmail.com, googlemail.com will continue to work too.

I cannot be bothered. I use googlemail.com for entering credentials I don't need to enter again (such as e-mail), after all it's the actual username and gmail.com for logging into forums/giving out to friends etc...
[Desire General] alexbush:
Despite resetting my account to @googlemail and doing a factory reset on the phone, I discover today that both online and on the phone I am @gmail - without a word from Google!

Cunning little devils - makes you wonder what else they are doing with our phones that we don't know about?
[Desire General] Rusty!:
I found that you often had to make the account switch a couple of times for it to actually register.
[Desire General] thazlett:
easily done in android 2+ but 1.5 i cant seem to find a way of removing/readding accounts.

nevermind.... its strange that it stopped working even though both gmail and googlemail work regardless...

hi guys is my first post at the forum although i been following it quite a lot .Recently i broke my lcd screen of my exec (bought it recently and very impresed by it,).The screens as i saw on the internet are quite expensive and then i came at this site that says that fujitsu siemens pocket loox practically has the same screen as the exec.I want to confirm that with you(that i put the screen of the loox at the exec ) plus if the ram of the pocket loox can be placed at the exec (to buy the pocket loox 2nd hand is cheaper than buying just a screen for the exec ) .And if can somebody reccomend other brands that have identical sceen .Thanks

Welcome to forums

Not sure if it will fit to Universal, but if it´s so expensive perhaps it´s better if you buy another Universal, have a look on this section and in marketplace, I saw to members selling their Unis

Good luck,

[Update]

Okay, this is bizarre, but I think I have solved the volume key problem. First, I discovered that the volume key problem was oddly related to the USB port. When I put pressure on that port, the volume key would start working again. But I explored further, and it's actually

very slight *downward* pressure on the USB port that solves the problem

.

So I then just wedged a piece of thin somewhat hard plastic (sliver from a plastic folder) along the top ridge of the USB port, and the volume key now works perfectly.

I think this might also be related to keyboard problems (keys not responsive), because now my keyboard also works perfectly. Can people please test (downward pressure on USB port) and report back?

[Original post]

Hi all - I need help and would appreciate some advice:

My volume key is starting to become unresponsive. At first I thought it was a ROM problem, but it continues with several different ROMs. And if I press the buttons VERY hard, they work.

I presume this is the same basic issue that occurs with the keyboard, but I have it in the volume key.

I am off the warranty. Anyone have ideas/ tricks for how to fix this? I might try a bit of WD-40 for the hell of it.

I have already mapped other keys to control the volume, but I still can't zoom with the camera.

Thanks for any advice.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
i too am experiencing the same problem, however i found a solution, pressure on the battery solved this for me....

what i did was put layers of tape on the battery and under the cover... :)

i guess the hardware becomes worn out after a while, and i dont mean the housing, because i have a brand new housing, i think it lies on the motherboard or the keypad board

this also solves the keyboard letters that never worked too like

m, i and t
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
HOLY COW, you are right! How did you ever figure that out???!!! So bizarre!

I pressed on the battery and it started working again. Still somewhat unresponsive but definitely better. I'll try your tape trick now.

Spike, a 1000 thank yous! I can't believe there is a fairly simple fix.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
lol i figured that out when certain keys on the keyboard wont work, out of anger i tried to put pressure on the bottom slide by squeezing it with a little more pressure on the top and bottom, then the keys worked, weird huh??

anyway, the volume key happened to give trouble too and the pressure fixed it... so, i have some tape on my battery until i can get some spongy sticky tape to replace it :)

glad it worked for you
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Yeah, I had noticed some odd things like when I applied pressure laterally across the top, then pressed the volume key, it would be more responsive.

Unfortunately putting pressure on the battery only worked temporarily, and the tape trick did not work. Perhaps my problem is farther along. But I really appreciate the hint. I'll keep messing with it (till I break it :D:D:D)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
For what it's worth:

I can solve this problem by putting the charger into the mini-USB and pushing it in hard while having my finger on the other side just below the volume button. After this the volume button works normally for a while. That's the only consistent fix so far.

So, one thing I can conclude is that it's not the volume button itself, but some connection inside???

I've had my Xperia for a year and 4 months. I'm surprised others aren't reporting this. Anyone else with volume button problems?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Celio1987:
I too have this problem, but must be a software problem for me. When I press the volume down button and power on at the same time while the phone is off I do get in the red/blue/green screen.

I have send my phone for repair for two times now because of this problem. When I get it back, the volume buttons are working for two days.

I also have problems with the the following keys: Sym, au, shift, @, Z, X and the blue button. But when I press time for like a 100 times they start working again... grazy
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
It's tricky sorting out whether it's a hardware or software issue, because it comes and goes. But I am convinced that mine is a hardware issue.

Try the trick I mentioned above. I also just pressed down on the whole keyboard hard in different places. It's been working for 6 hours straight!

[I also wonder if the SE repair people cause the volume button issue. I send mine in for repair 2 or 3 times, including for the same keyboard problem you mention]
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
See the first post for what I think is the solution to this problem
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
doesnt work for me... what does is the pressure on the main board
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azian_advanced:
i too have the same issue. pushing down on the usb port seemed to have fixed my volume keys better than adding tape under the battery cover.

sigh.. i don't know how much longer this device is gonna last me..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3tic:
You need to massage your XPERIA every now and then to smoothen the electricty flow throughout the circuit board. Think of it as a human, hmm... just kidding lol

I've had the same issue and I would like to thank all of you for your valuable inputs.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
Alright, fellas, here is what it is. Having the USB port on the opposite side of the keys, means slight pressure nudges the board towards the silicone membrane that is on the inside of the hardened metallized shell that forms the volume key itself. The way it is folded inside means that over time it will mould itself to the housing, hence partial usability problem.

A word of warning: nudging the USB port will dislodge the port itself off the main PCB and then you will have a much bigger problem than partially working volume key.

Tape under the battery cover is a gimmick.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Thanks for the explanation! Although without a diagram it's a bit hard for me to follow. What's the basic problem? The connection to the volume key gets dislodged?

When I nudge the USB port downwards, it's literally about half a millimeter, so it's hard for me to imagine that that could brick the USB port; then again, I know nothing about the internals.

I've had the "permanent nudge" going for a couple months without problems, but I will report back if something worsens.

[Droid Incredible General] dincodee:
I previously had a Moto Droid and was able to connect it to my USB port in my car and play media "Music" from the sdcard. Now with my Incredible it tell me media cannot be played or read. I believe this is because of the dual mounting when connected it tries to mount two storages at once. Anyone else having this problem or maybe and solutions to fix this???
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
mine kind of did the same thing, I put my songs on the internal memory and my pioneer wouldn't find the songs, I had to put all my music on the micro sd card and it worked fine after that. not sure if that would work for you or not but it worked for me, so if you haven't tried that yet it is worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible General] dincodee:
i have actually tried both and still no luck. I even tried removing SDcard and had Music on internal storage only and still a no go. But it seems to read the sdcard momentarily and seconds after it says media cannot be played.
[Droid Incredible General] mrchambo:
All my media is on the sd card. No problems with playing via USB/AUX connections in my vehicle...
[Droid Incredible General] dincodee:
finally figured it out. for some reason I had to give my friend my sdcard and had him format it in his nexus one. then put music back on it and this time it was able to read the media. finally

How can I adjust the base automatic backlight level? So the auto backlight works but with a different base level.

Hello all,

I hope I'm not infringing on some forum rules by asking/posting in this format.

I am looking for a Social centric phonebook much alike the one found with HTC sense or other customized interfaces.

To be clear I'd like to find all information attached to a particular contact in 1 place. So if I get to Mr X, i'll see all text messages ever exchanged with him, his facebook, twitter, what have you page and call logs.

I've seen Phonebook 2.0 www [.] voxmobili [.] com / phonebook / which looks just about right except it appears it hasn't been launched yet.

So is there anything right now that could do the trick.

Note: My nexus is 1 week old if even and I'd rather not root for now but I'd be glad to hear about apps that'd require rooting, for future reference.

Many thanks :)

[HD2 General] shak7i:
same here

i got the same problem recently. my 8gb sdhc stopped working. whenever i insert the card in my hd2 it says the card needs to be formatted before use. when format it says formatted successfully but the sdhc does not show anywhere as if there is no memory card in the hd2. computer also does not detect the card. it is the stock 8gb sandisk sdhc supplied by htc. only been using it for 1 week. anyone else has got this problem? do you know what may has caused this? any help will be appreciated. thanks!

Same problem here,

my (HTC supplied) 8gb SanDisk SDHC card stopped working after about 3 weeks use.. I got "do you want to format the card to make it readable.."

Tried different phone (HTC Kaiser), cardreaders on 2 different laptops, winxp/win7/debian/knoppix even canon photocam.. Several restore programs/format programs.. Even tried putting it in the refrigerator over night..

All no luck.. I gave up! (now missing some nice vids from my son..)

sync my SD card almost daily now..
[HD2 General] shak7i:
now many user are getting this problem. i don't know if this problem is with micro sd supplied by htc or the phone itself damaging memory card. what is weird is that it seems only the memory card sandisk 8gb supplied by htc seems to be concerned. i just hope after buying another card it does not get damaged too.
[HD2 General] vikramdeepsingh:
HINT

someone told me to put the card in the digital camera and try formatting the card over there. digital cameras have their own format scheme, but i don't have digital camera........its worth trying it...........people called digi gurus told me about that...........
[HD2 General] vikramdeepsingh:
Another card down for htc hd2

I brought a new card 4gb sandisk micro sd. its gone showing me the same message which i was getting it with my 8 gb card "format the card in order to read it" what is the problem is this a problem with the phone or with the card. it is unbelievable that my new card is also showing the same message. what is going on.

I want to know what is the problem, problem with the phone or with the micro sd card.

this is the second card which got damaged......

exact message """" DO YOU WANT TO FORMAT THIS STORAGE CARD TO MAKE IT READABLE? THIS WILL PERMANENTLY DELETE ANY FILES ON THE CARD. PRESSED YES . THIS STORAGE CARD HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY FORMATTED. """

NOW IF WE SEE UNDER SETTINGS SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE NO SD CARD IS SHOWING OVER THERE.

what is the reason behind it??????????????????

I HAVE JUST TAKEN OUT THE USB FROM THE CHARGER NOT FROM THE COMPUTER AS IT IS CHARGED BY THE USB CABLE.

I am still struggling with the first card warranty from the HTC and now my second card with same message is gone down.
[HD2 General] shak7i:
i have a digital camera panasonic dmc-fz28. i did try to format the card with the camera. but this doesn't work. you said you got another card damaged by the phone. i think the problem is with the phone itself then. send the phone to your local dealer for repair and see what they say.

I got the same problem with my 8Gb Sandisk SD card. after that i installed another 8gb card (from my nokia 5800) on my phone & its been a month & working fine. I think it happened to me after I installed firefox's fennec alpha on my sd card.
[HD2 General] troed:
Maybe it has something to do with the CLASS of mSD.

When I received my HD2 I bought a 16GB SanDisk mSD from Amazon, installed it and worked fine for half a year. Just by chance it was a CLASS 2 as I looked up now beeing very concerned by this thread. Now I bought the 32GB mSD from SanDisk (also CLASS 2), copied the contents from 16GB card to 32 GB card and it works flawless.

Now let´s check: was there any one with a bricked CLASS 2 mSD ? Or only mSDs of higher class bricked ?

If so we have to aks some hardware-specialists here wether a class 4 or higher card gets bricked because of faster data throughput since these cards seem to be bricked PERMANENTLY ? There could be several physical reasons: Voltage, Ampere, Controller etc. :confused:
[HD2 General] vince2773:
I got a bricked 32GB class 2 Sandisk card. It was fresh out of the box and I got an RMA from Sandisk. Awaiting for replacement.

I thought it was just a faulty card off the production line, since my stock 2GB Sandisk card still works fine. It shouldn't have been the phone, should it?
[HD2 General] vikramdeepsingh:
Need help

I have already lost two micro sd cards one 8gb which I got with the phone and one 4gb which i brought it. Now I am using Nextar card 4gb. it seems to be fine till now, is there any problem with the scan disk cards?
[HD2 General] eflobo:
Is this a reliable gadget after all...???

Ok, now I am pissed. :mad: My situation is almost identical as yours - including the loss of my son´s new vids and pics... :mad::mad: - and I have the HD2 for almost 2 months now.

Suddenly the 8Gb SDHC stock card just stopped working. It came from nowhere. I found it when I tried to watch a video and the player was not showing it. Then I got into file manager and the storage card was missing... after a soft reset, the appaling msg appeared: "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card."

What I did recently: installed uZardWebP and MS-NetC3.5 yesterday. But the SDHC access was alright after that.

I am surprised about how many ppl have been at the same situation.

What the heck is going on? Do you guys know if HTC has ever said something about the subject?

If I cannot recover the content of this card, it will be the first and the last HTC unit I will ever get my hands on. Four years using a Sony Ericsson and a Nokia unit with a SD card and no problems whatsoever.

Occurrence could be considered usual if there weren´t so many incidents like mine.

If someone has ANY idea about recovering the card data I would be very grateful. (although I am hopeless after some reading... ...) :(

Regards!
