haha, great thread!

i'm at a quasi-state 4. I'm still an SE fan, but since I'm with T-Mobile and need a good Android with the 1700 band, I'm getting my first non-SE phone ever, and picking up a Nexus One.

If SE learns from it's mistakes about skimping on hardware and taking ages for software updates, and makes a good X10 successor, I'll be more than happy to give SE another shot.
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
forget it man. how could you expect they will do better next time while they messed up like this at the moment?=..=
[XPERIA X10 General] pakraider:
You might be right, but let's be honest--if (a big if) SE decided to change it's frustrating ways and really knock it out of the park on a future Android phone, won't all of us be flocking to get it and flaunting our SE fan credentials? :p

I'll stay an SE fan, but with Froyo out and Gingerbread coming in Q4, and Nexus One being a rooted and well supported phone, I have to put practicalities above brand loyalty when it comes to shelling out $500+.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
I'm between 4 & 5. Accepting its comfortably the best phone i ever owned. With equal measure of annoyance that SE have ' gone dark' on us. Ace thread by the way!

i have no idea how much time you been frustrating with SE but for me i already experienced on w960 and x1 now x10 is the third time they made a nice looking and decent hardware device out of the competition because they took a hell of long time to develope their horrible os before they launch the product and have no problem giving their so called flagship product out there with unbearable cripple which is cause by software issue.

so if you ask me do i think they will do it again the next time?

i think they'll not even hesitate to do so!

[XPERIA X10 General] Super_Bob:
I think i skiped all those stages, I've been a long term fan of SE and accept them even with their many failings! As for the x10 i love it, its been a while since i've had a touch screen phone (had a p900 then went to candybar phones for a while) so i'm enjoying being back and having a weath of apps at my fingertips. I bought the phone fully aware that it was 1.6 and that SE said it would be in q4 before the big update comes (which I take to mean 'at some time after q4', I've been with se way too long to beleive a definate when they give it!) so i'm happy with my purchase.

As for issues and bugs its had this is all standard stuff with a new anything, especially when its something new for the company too, its something you have to accept as an alpha consumer otherwise you will drive yourself mad with frustration!

Stage two and I'm sending the bill for my anger management classes to SE lol. I hit refresh more times than I can count in a day (at least a dozen times during my morning b m). I need help, I'm going to go for addictions counselling tomorrow. They think I need to go through the 12 step program. It's just hard admitting I have a problem.

[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
I know full well what to expect from SE after owning the X1 and X2. The X2 is on it's way back now and I am getting an x10 in return. Heck if I could get my money back I would! However, the X10 is one sexy looking phone, you gotta give it that. :cool:

I did a lot of research on what the X10 can and can't do, and I am prepared for that, so I wont get angry. Trust me, it's nothing compared to MR1 on the X2... ugh! :mad: I would have gone with another brand based on that alone, but we can only hope the updates come complete and pre-tested for the X10. After the mess they made on the X2, I am sure they want to take their time to release the latest updates.

Multi touch? who knows, maybe SE is limiting multi touch on purpose to keep Apple off their lawsuit radar ;)

[Desire General] Danifamous:
I have recently upgraded from an unbranded HTC Hero to the much faster HTC Desire. But it's branded with the Bloated Orange UK rubbish, such as traffic demos and games I'd never play. So after having to deal with installing a semi-working Win7 onto my mac, I dug out my old toshiba, installed Win7, and have attempted all evening to create a goldcard. Only managing to find 3 SDcard (stock 4gb, a nokia 256mb and a class 6 16GB), ive continously have attempted to get a generic stock rom on it. But I have ended up with the dreaded Error 131:Customer ID Error :mad:

I have followed guides on here, android forums, and the unlockr, but somewhere I'm fail. (User errors. Worst type of errors...)

I have image 1.15.61.10 installed at the moment, and can only get to about 25-30% on "Installing Signature"

So is anyone able to help me out a bit? Because I'm very confused. Is the goldcard.img needed to be placed on my SD card? or just the Hex?

I've got the Adb code, used the reversers recommended, getting the goldcard.img emailed to me (did recieve a goldcard.img.zip once =/), going into the HxT hex and altering the 0000000-0000170 lines on the SD card to match the ones in the goldcard.img. I have browsed through the phone with ASTRO, and have found both a MMC0 and MMC1 folder in mmc_host. But im lost, and would just like to have a normal phone thats not bloated on Oranges.

Any help would be appreciated, as I am thankful for the community here for help with my Hero, and I will be willing to donate for people's assistance. :D

Hi all.

I'm under the impression that umts = 3.6mb and hsdpa = 7.2mb and hsdpa+ = tmobiles sexy new 21mb service.

Am I right? I'm asking because my phone switches to hsdpa from umts only when I'm using data. Its always hovering on umts when I am on 3g.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
With cm rom I also saw the fluctuation. 3g was umts and the h was hsdpa right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
before I got my phone I read about all the 3G problems people were having.

when I first got my nexus, there were no issues at all. no dropped service or connection.

I'm in a 3G area (looked at tmobile coverage map) and I see no reason for this to be happening.

my phone will show that I have 3G connection (UMTS) but when trying to use anything that requires a connection, it fails.

on the other hand, HSDPA network works fine and so does EDGE.

I got my phone over a month ago and this hasn't started happening until recently.

I'm always on EDGE network now and if I'm not on EDGE, I have to be on HSDPA in order for me a to send messages or use data connection.

UMTS is broken and does not give connection. I want to call HTC and see if they can replace it but I don't think they'd do it.

anyone else have the 3G problem? I'm sure a lot do, but is it only with UMTS?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
This is not the "3g issue" everyone talks about. This sounds like you are either having network issues in your area, or did you flash a new ROM to your phone recently?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
I had been on a CM test build and hadn't flashed a rom in a long time.

network issues isn't the problem because my friends G1 yesterday had 3G and I had EDGE.

I don't think it's my SIM card either, not even two years old.

I'm tempted to call HTC because this happened out of nowhere after a good month of no problems.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowlala:
99% of the time it's a carrier issue.

When the number of users on a carrier grows or jumps on the carrier, the tower signal shrinks it's radius. And if you're in two competing tower areas, then your signal might drop/fluctuate because the phone is swapping between them.

Nothing the phone can do about it. It's probably your carrier issue.

I have experienced something like this. I am unrooted and few weeks after having the phone I would see a 3g symbol but be unable to access any data. It has been very frustrating once but generally it kicks in again with a reboot.

A similar issue since installing froyo is that the stock browser wouldn't connect. Other browsers and applications could access data but the stock browser couldn't. It started again later but I now use xscope.

I love android but I hope that the continue to work on its stability because it could be improved

so this is a boot animation that I modded out.

I don't know who originally made it...I'm assuming cyanogen? (my buddy gave it to me)

Anyways, I really like the original but it doesn't fit my current setup (froyo 2.2)

As soon as cm6 comes out I'm back to it.

2 ways to install...

bootanimation zip- do a adb push

nexus-froyo-glow-robot zip- just flash from memory card

I recommend nandroid just in case something goes wrong or you want to revert back

Where can I get some information on HOW TO create a boot animation?

I'm somewhat graphically abled :) and want to make my own.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
there are two ways to do it...the zip folder style requires signing (but way easy to install)...read up and download sdk

making a bootanimation.zip is pretty easy (just harder to get on the phone)

I suggest downloading what I posted and dissect them...you basically need a bunch of sequential .png pictures (110-130)

this has pretty good instuctions http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/13/how-to-create-a-droid-custom-boot-animation/

if you do it this way search "adb for dummies" and you will be set

[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
That bar indicates approximately how much of the battery capacity that has thus far been used has been because of each app.

If you turn the phone on, take a couple of pictures, and turn it off, the camera will have used almost 100% of the used capacity.
[Hero CDMA General] liquidtenmillion:
I have this same problem. I've tested the hell out of it and figured this out:

1. This occurs on ALL Sprint 2.1 ROMs when Geotagging is enabled.(This does NOT occur on Legend/MT3G slide roms)

2. When you launch the Camera app with geotagging enabled, you are screwed. When you check the battery stats at first Camera will say like 10% or so, but come back and check it like 30 minutes later and you will see it slowly creeping up to 95-99%.

3. Camera is NOT running. You can't find it in a task killer and it does not show up in top.

4. Even if you launch camera and then turn off gps through the widget or through settings after you are finished camera will still climb to 98%, the only way to get it to stop is to reboot the phone.

5. It's not a glitch in the battery display, camera really IS somehow eating your battery, it will die in like 4 hours.

6. If you launch camera and take ONE photo and then close it out and check it again like 4 hours later even after HEAVY use camera will still be shown as using 98%.

So, since I like the geotagging feature and I do not want to reboot my phone after every use of the camera, I went to zenexp and do not experience this problem anymore.
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
How do you know its not running? have you used auto killer? And if the service/app is closed out theres no reason why it would be showing 95 percent unless the battery didn't update the statistics immediately thus making you think it is creeping up to 95.

**Edit** you will never used over 100 percent of your battery its basically a pie chart in number form if its using 95 percent of the battery then you only used 5 percent of your phone when the camera was activated and the camera used 95 percent of it at the time.
[Hero CDMA General] liquidtenmillion:
Yes, I know it is odd. I do use auto killer, and I can GUARANTEE you that camera was not running. I tried ATK, auto killer, and even running ps and top. It truly is not running and yet is using the battery. I absolutely promise you this. And if I run camera and close it at first it says 10%. Check it 10 mins later it says 22%, check it 20 mins later it says 50%, check it one hour later it says 97%, just tested it. The entire time it is climbing camera does NOT appear in task killer auto killer, ps, or top, and the last two commands will show every PROCESS that are running, not just "services" and "apps".

I even specifically said that I extensively used the phone and camera still said 95-99%. I played 2 hours straight of replica island, and normally(if I don't launch camera) after 30 mins of replica island it is using at least 30%.

Truly there is a bug somewhere. What I think is going on is that camera is initiating a GPS connection, and then when Camera closes it does not disconnect the GPS signal properly so it is in a state where it is still locked to satellites but frozen.

This has occurred, for me, on every Sprint 2.1 based rom when Geotagging is enabled.
[Hero CDMA General] Heaterz16:

Just installed Uniblue PowerSuite 2010 and updated all my drivers.

Unfortunately the touchscreen now isn't - at least in Vista, it still works on the SnapVue side - so it's not a broken hardware issue.

I tried to go backwards with system restore, but it just comes up with an error.

I tried downloading and reinstalling the touchscreen driver from HTC. Reading the instructions pdf, item 1 requires the ECDriver to be installed. So downloaded ECDriver and reinstalled that as well. But I still can't see the ECDriver on the Device Manager.

Any suggestions anyone?
[Shift General] Sheepster:
OK, got the EC Driver re-installed with help from HTC - evidently they have changed the files on the driver download without changing the installation instructions pdf.

Now I've tried reinstalling the touchscreen driver.

It didn't install as per the explanation, as in the calibration screens didn't come up. However I can start the "click on each corner" calibration programme through the Tablet PC menu and it accepts my clicks on the corners so I assume something is working.

I can't even find the entry for the touchscreen on the device manager to de-install the drivers to try re-installing them again.

I am a little stumped now.

Any suggestions???
