I tried the TouchDown program and it's...okay.

It will help you transfer all your contacts, but the email has to be read through their program. It still notifies you when a new email arrives...so i guess i will have to go with this option until the problem is fixed.

Just go to the marketplace and search for touchdown. It's a 30 day trial but hopefully by then the problem will be fixed.

NOTE: In order to copy over contacts go to the contacts tab in the program, hit menu on your phone and select "copy to contacts" ... took me a couple minutes to figure this out.
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
Sounds to me like they already have a firmware update to fix the problem we just can't download it right now for some reason. I'll search around and see if i can find the latest one where we can just install it manually.
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
Seems like there are two updates;

Just downloading this one now

OTA_Supersonic_1.32.651.6-1.32.651.1_releasebbizq8hiqpkwmtnk.zip - 13.1 MB
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
okay cool let us know how it works i tried the touchdown program and it works great because it does not require the password on the phone wakes up.i love this talk to text i'm using it right now
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
no such luck... after what I perceived were two updates, still no such luck :(

I can do one of two things... No use of exchange in its entirety (not feasible, has all my contacts) or add exchange account and PRAY i dont have to restart until a fix... BLAH
[EVO 4G General] Soupskin:
Use TouchDown
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
I'll have to download it... thanks
[EVO 4G General] Soupskin:
Got a call back from Sprint.

They said this issue only happens if you create an all numeric password. Throw some alpha in there and it won't happen. I've yet to confirm this.
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
Well, Well, Well... What do you know! It works, kinda a pain but a work around none the less. I hate having to put a password in general - hopefully i can get my IT guys to create a policy just for me.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
awesome app! i'm using it now and i'm glad they have the feature to import your contacts into your phone. nothing like have 383 contacts and getting a phone call with an unknown number
[EVO 4G General] Jax351:
Hi Guys,

The fix described above is correct. The issue only happens when the password is all Numeric(Numbers) if it is Alpha-Numeric it does not occur.

HTC is now aware of this issue and is working quickly on a fix.
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
Instead of starting a new thread and considering my question is related to this issue does anyone know of a way to;

1) Remove the Android "Slide Down to Unlock" screen - (annoying that I have to Unlock the screen twice in a sense
[EVO 4G General] marctronixx:
im a little confused here.

i am running an exchange server on the evo right now with no issues whatsoever. this is using the stock app. i have an all numeric unlock code also. i am using an app that overrides me from having to enter the unlock code after idle and thus far all has been well... i too work for a "large" company... (not that this matters...)
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
OMG marc you must tell me what this program is!!! PLEEEEEEEEAAASEEEEEEE
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
I FOUND A FIX TO EVERYONE'S ISSUE

Like the poster above me said, that is exactly the reason that this works.

Here's what you have to do to get exchange server hooked up normally and not have a constant reboot!

Follow these steps and you will not have any problems.

1.) Hard reset your phone (VOLUME DOWN + POWER with the phone off)

You will have to go down to "CLEAR DATA", it will ask you to confirm.

2.) Let the phone reboot, everything will be erased. Setup your exchange and google account.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE A PASSWORD, USE A NUMBER AND A LETTER

3.) Go to the market place and search for "No Lock". Download it. Install it. Run it.

4.) Press the middle button to make the phone no longer require a lock.

Voila! I just did this and it works perfect!

OP you might want to put this in the first thread you posted so other people know about it without having to go through all these pages.
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
Digging the no-lock program ! w00t.
[EVO 4G General] moosic:
Spaces work as a password as well. No issues here.
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
I am trying to correct this problem on my girlfriends Evo. I'm a bit confused because she doesn't use an Exchange account, her Google password is Alphanumeric. In short, none of the causes seem to fit the bill in this instance. Any one have new info or a fix for this problem. She just has an out-of-the-box Evo. Have tried several hard-resets, but something seems to send it into the loop everytime! Barring a fix, does anyone have experience making a claim with HTC's warranty department? Outside of the thirty day trial from Sprint but obviously still inside HTC's warranty period.
[EVO 4G General] v2tech:
and starting a brand new contract with Sprint (Coming from non-Sprint), did you ppl manage to setup any of the below discounts at BB, RS?

1. Credit union - 10% off, no activation etc

2. Employee Referral - Flat $10 off of monthly service

If yes what did you tell RS, BB, any proof etc. How did you do it?

If not, then do we have to call Sprint immediately after we get the line setup?

Please let me know. I am going tonight to RS to get my EVO and I am eligible for discounts 1 and/or 2 above.
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
My employer has a 27% discount on my bill.. Make sure to check if your company has any discounts as well. used a paystub for proofage.
[EVO 4G General] v2tech:
Nope I don't have any discount from employer. I have 15% on service from ATT.
[XPERIA X10 General] vickysud:
there would also be a number of smaller tweaks that would continue improving the user experience (such as allowing them to use Timescape without going to the device’s browser, and improvements to the browser itself) on the device, beginning with an update coming in a couple of weeks.

this really looks promising..i guess SE r really improving da overall UI..doing everything inside timescape looks very promising indeed...i hope dey roll da update soon
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
Look what froyo adds to the table for android. 2.1 update might be big for SE but the standard by then will be 2.2. Again with the catch up game.

Not a good sign at all from SE.

[XPERIA X10 General] vickysud:
Like da way dey did with 1.6 including some features of 2.1. i feel SE will include some features of 2.2 in 2.1 update
[XPERIA X10 General] leobg:
Judging from past exeprience (X1), I doubt X10 will ever see Froyo (unless rooted of course)... We'll be lucky if we get 2.1 this year, knowing SE software upgrade practices I won't be surprised if 2.1 gets pushed for Q1 then Q2... 2011

And before we know - ups "the lifespan" of the device will end :) "Come and by our new X100 (or whatever)". Welcome to the world of Sony Ericsson!
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Exactly!

How about getting the battery life to what was promised at time of sale? When to do we hear SE talk about this issue. And, since there is never any mention of what the planned life cycle is, it is like promising nothing! Political BS.

And, I would like to correct one other point someone mentioned. By the time the X10 gets 2.1, the standard will be 2.3 (not 2.2), and there is a massive difference.

And, how about the fact the flash 10.1 will only be compatible with 2.2 or higher?
[XPERIA X10 General] gr3yh0und:
Still hoping for 2.2 they should skip 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Yeah, because HTC didn't just abandon the one year old HTC Magic, right?

Perspective people! It's not just SE... every company out there does this, and to think that some other company is going to be any better is deluding yourself.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cnrl:
Htc did a great job on the magic,with the sense ui ,i think they did a great job if you think of the hardware limitation this unit have.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
i doubt X10 will sell much in India anyway.....the android platform hasnt taken over the apple market share yet.

much youngsters are still drawn to iphone 3gs.

anyway...i am waiting for updates.

main issues: Low in-call volume, poor battery life, limited functionality of timescape.
[XPERIA X10 General] ashman84:
Yeah I had wanted to go to that round table conference. Take a bat and give some o the Sony execs a piece o my mind. How could the dev and execs of SE be.ok with releasing their flagship phone with an outdated OS. It's ridiculous! It's like putting ur ferrari in a race to be driven by your grandmother.

Man I hope root is achieved. I kinda like the stuff that SE has.done to make the phone different from the others. But I like better call.volume, flash support, better battery life, more RAM, auto flash, root requiring apps, etc more. So its going to be the vanilla froyo ftw for me.

You're so cute!

Hey, look at me, I'm a major international corporation! I have a product for sale! It has a slightly out of date operating system! Please don't buy our product! It's terrible that we included most of the functionality from the newer OS in our build of the older OS! We are a terrible company!

--

Now, do you think Sony Ericsson is really going to come out and tell you "Yes, our phone sucks don't buy it"? Of course they're going to defend their choices, if they don't then it's called a marketing failure. No one's going to tell you their product sucks and still expect people to buy it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ashman84:
First off, thanks for compliment. I hope ur a 22 year old, 5 8" smoking hot woman who didnt go dancing with her girlfriends tonight and instead sat her a** down in front of a computer to randomly comment on xda.

secondly, SE has historically always been flaky with providing upgrades for their phones. Although they say that they will support the x10, its almost a given that they wont stick to their timelines. Its been the case with every phone they've released.

thirdly, what are the functionalities that they've included in 1.6 that you speak of??? To have an OS that cannot support 16M colors when the hardware can? TO have an OS that cannot support more RAM than 256MB? To not have flash support for god knows how long considering we're only getting 2.1 in Q4 and we need 2.2 for flash support? To be left behind in Android market cause all new apps will be for 2.1 or 2.2? To not have auto flash on the camera which is supposedly a limitation of 1.6?

And lastly, I wasn't taking a dig at the marketers of the phone. its their job to sell the phone and from what I can gather, they seem to be doing a good job. What my peeve was about is that at the design and execution stage the devs and execs at SE should have made a conscious effort to put the best in their best phone. I dont care if the x10 had a marketing failure. Its specs are good enough for anyone to figure out the phone's brilliant. There was a strategy planning and execution failure for the x10 at SE and that's just not done when your company is worth 6.7 billion (at last count). It should've had 2.1 right from the get go considering other phones released before the x10 had 2.1 as stock.

So please, dont go running your mouth off if you dont know facts. Anyone who can see what the x10 is capable of will realize that its the OS thats keeping this phone back. I love the x series of SE. I've had them all. I just want my phone to be the best it can be, which it isn't right now.

and on side notes:

A) Android 1.6 isn't a SLIGHTLY outdated OS. Its outdated period. Especially since 2.2 is out and 2.3 at the end of the year.

B) "we included most of the functionality from the newer OS in our build of the older OS! "

a grandmom on steriods is still a grandmom on steroids.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
First of all, you said you wanted to take a baseball bat to the Sony execs, so yes, you are taking a dig at the marketers of the phone. A pretty big, violent dig.

Second, I'm not just talking crap. Sony added a lot of stuff to 1.6 that didn't exist before, like the Camera app, Mediascape, and the custom dialer.

Third, and this is the biggest point of all, simply put, the phone was never, ever, ever, ever, ever advertised as having anything at all other than Android OS version 1.6. You can cry all you want about this point, but, if you bought this phone, you knew it coming in. If there's something you wanted that was 2.1 specific, you should have went for a phone that had 2.1 preinstalled. It was known for months that the phone would release with 1.6.

It's this last point that really just boggles my mind. I don't understand people who buy something, knowing 100% of it's capabilities, then ***** when it doesn't do something it wasn't advertised as being able to do. It's like buying a Toyota Prius, knowing it's a Toyota Prius, then complaining after you buy it that it doesn't perform like a Ferrari. If you wanted something that performed like a Ferrari, you should have bought the Ferrari.

The phone can be "better." Anything can be "better", but for what was advertised, it's as good as it was made out to be.

Side note:

1.6 is only "slightly" outdated. It was released September 16, 2009. In the time between then and now, only one update has been officially released. At the release of the phone, the 1.6 was only about 7 months old. It's not Sony's fault that Google pushes out new updates faster than manufacturers can handle them.
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
idiots will always be idiots, people like you would always complain and not think.

1) X10 was announced a month+ after Android 1.6 was released, 2.1 was released in january, X10 having the hardware better than the OS given shows that it's having the possibilities of having updates in the future.

Though they could have just scraped 1.6 and go for 2.1, but they wouldn't be able to keep what they promised for the consumers, namely the release date of X10, a near-somewhat stable version of UX adapted for 2.1 (tho it was still unstable for 1.6 but later on improved in minor updates) as well as timescape and mediascape, these might not be important to you but if they're not you might have gone for HTC instead (which makes me wonder why on earth you'd go for X10 if not for their unique UX and apps).

2) As big as a company can get, they wouldn't be able to have some of their resources to work only for constantly updating X10 for every new version of Android OS released by Google (1.6 - september, 2.1 - january, 2.2 - may) as SE has other phones to work on as well (for new, old, unannounced products etc)

before you go on talking about HTC manages to pull that off, answer me this, how many android phones were announced/released by HTC from early 2010 until now? at the rate they're in, do you think they'll support the old phones constantly with updates? I bet they'll keep on releasing android smartphones with the latest firmware and leave the old products to dry after an update or 2. SE on the other hand told us that they're trying to have X10 to have a long life-cycle (as late as the update may be)

as for your sidenote

A) 1.6 IS slightly outdated, it's been out since september 2009 and as I said, Android OS seems to have a life-expectancy of 4-5 months, majority of Android phones would be outdated every 4-5 months as well following your logic.

Anybody any idea what is a good Navi Software for the 'vodafone' s740?

I've searched all the web and tried several things like:

- sygic mobile 10 (didn't work, can't go further than select language after install)

- TomTom7 (tried install 7.450 and then overwrite with 7.915 navigator.exe, didn't work, can't even install these cabs from storage card, get message: "problem with umarshaller.exe")

I reckon Sygic and TomTom are the nicest navi.sw. out there, but maybe I am looking in the wrong direction. :confused:

PLease, anybody advice?

Or step by step install instructions from some version of Sygic or TT to make that version work?
[S740, S743 General] Enricosteph:
Hy!

Sygic v10 doesn´t work currently.....i´m using Sygic v9 with actuall Maps and it works perfect for me so no need to upgrade to v10......Maps are at the moment the same.....

You can also try Igo8....great Navi-Soft...3D-Maps....good grafik....BUT WORKS ONLY WITH "Fake Cursor".....because its for Touchscreen Devices.....

Ps.:I think from TomTom only the "Old" v6 works......
[S740, S743 General] Elusivo:
I use tomtom 7.910 on S740 and it works very well, i dun't think it was really made having non-touch screens in mind, but, everything works and i'm happy with it. I tried updated versions i haven't been able to use them tho, but, no need anyway ^^

Only thing that bugs me a bit is that some newer versions of maps i can't get them to work, i think they're made for tomtom 8+, dunno if they make new maps to work with the 7 versions of tomtom... but haven't really searched that much, the ones i have are pretty much accurate so far.

I used to have Garmin Mobile XT. It worked sometimes. Now I have Sygic Mobile Maps 2009(v7.71) with v7.80 maps of Poland. There is one downside: maps from Garmin had the contours and addresses of all buildings. It was very useful as long as Garmin Mobile was communicating with GPS module. Sygic maps have only addresses, no building contours. That's bad, when you have poor eyesight...

Thank you very much my friends. :cool:

If you use a rom with an animated spash just copy over the existing animation with a new one.

If not use Advanced Config to choose the file location.

Hope thats what you were looking for:)

I think the TG01 is differnet.

I have tried everything like that, I absolutely can not get the animated splash screen to work. Hmm... Nokser must have done his homework cuz I think that is a tough thing to get working on the TG01.
