try booting into recovery as said before. power off your phone then hold the home key and hit power to turn it back on, continue to hold home untill HOPEFULLY you get your recovery (blackscreen with green letters) if you get that then you just go to the backup/ restore option and choose restore, if you have any backups of 1.5 on your sd card then they will show in there.
[Hero CDMA General] bond00:
When I hold down the home and power buttons, I get a cell phone picture with a red cross through it. So I don't think that's gonna work. Any other ways to restore a nandroid or to revert to earlier ROM? Please help!
[Hero CDMA General] bond00:
I have no idea why, but I gave it a rest all day, downloaded the same .5 RUU from roms-shipped and its working. I checked the MD5s and they all match. Who knows. I'm just glad it seems to be working! Now I can root again!!

Any idea how to restore factory Sprint data/wap settings?

I need a way to disable screen rotation for some application, how can i do that? The app. is iphone today (dll version).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stbozhanov:
...when slide the keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Does the program not have an ignore rotation in settings? Just reading thread seen this.

# Fixed the ignore screen rotation option

But then maybe that's only regards a phone with gyrator?

I'm using the last version /1.5.3/...and yes, it has this option, but there is some bug. If you know the today plugin- "Motohome" .. it hasn't landscape mode..and my idea is the same...i want to disable the landscape of Iphone today or Manila.

Just upgraded to froyo (rodreguizstyle r19 2.8) and the stock browser doesn't work. Opera mini works fine as does wireless tethering (this is how i'm posting this now), so my internet access is fine.

read the other thread which some people had luck deleting the apn and restoring the default, tried that and still lots of fail.

Any ideas what is wrong with the built in browser?

Just tried Kang-o-rama 0.9b2, same issue. Went back 2.1 and everything works fine.

Maybe Proxy problem

Try this:

Go to - Settings, Wireless & network settings, Proxy settings, and check the "V" on the "use proxy only on wifi", and DELETE both hostname and Port - leave them blank.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Me too, no connection in stock browser Froyo FRF85B

After upgrading to Froyo FRF85B the stock browser is dead. Every other internet internet application works fine, including tethering to other devices.

I found the thread Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock and reset my APN settings as suggested but it was to no avail.

I am in Brazil and my provider is Vivo. The APN settings are the default and were downloaded by the device automatically on selecting "reset to defaults". They are the same settings that worked previously with eclair (2.1 update 1).

The strange thing is that if I kill the browser with Taskiller then sometimes the page from the last session will be loaded correctly on reopening. So it appears that the data from the internet is being loaded at least into the browser-cache, only the browser thinks there is no connection so it doesn't load it.

The "page cannot be found" error appears almost instantly indicating that the browser really thinks there is absolutely no connection and doesn't even try to load data from the network.

I can't find any proxy settings. Under Settings -> Wireless networks & others I have allot of options (airplane-mode, bluetooth, Wifi, Access point (tethering), VPN and Mobile networks) but there is nothing for a Proxy. There is a field for a proxy in the APN definition but this was automatically blank. I can't find a setting for use proxy only on wifi anywhere.

Can any one help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombiess:
There is no Proxy Settings under wireless settings.

I reloaded the rom and the browser started working, then I reloaded again and now the browser is broken again. What a POS froyo is. I've had nothing but problems every time I try it even with complete wipes.

The browser only works on wifi, but everything else works. Everything is perfect on eclair.

Why isn't there any fix for this major flaw?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombiess:
Fixed,

Go to Settings, Wireless & network settings, mobile networks, access point names, edit your apn, clear the proxy and port and the browser should start to work. Try reboot
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Fixed after system reset

Deleting and reloading the APN settings from the network provider did not help.

Resetting the phone to the original settings solved this problem.

Reset:

Turn of the phone and restart while holding down Volume-Down

The boot options appear. Use the volume-rocker to select "system reset" (or recovery?)

Tap the power button. A warning screen appears with the android and /!\

Press the power button and Volume-Up together

A new screen appears with various options, select system reset (wipes all user-data)

Reboot one complete and the APN will be set up automatically

The stock browser now works!

Resetting the system was not so bad since the phone automatically recovered all installed apps and most user data is stored online in the Google account anyway.

The phone is now back up and running with Froyo FRF91
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuzvica:
This fixed it for me, just clearing the Proxy IP within my APN settings.

Thanks!!!

Hello

First sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I'm new to smartphones and Android and have a bit of a dilema!

I have an Xperia X10i and am supposed to be exchanging it for a HTC Desire next week, for reasons I will go into, but my big question first is am I making the right choice.

I got out my X10 yesterday after another delay with getting the HTC and after finding some UI changes and other apps on these awesome forums, I am starting to like the X10 more.

Sure the battery lasts about 9 hours but I'm looking into fixes, other things I didn't enjoy, like the UI I have changed with the awesome ADW Launcher.

Now the main reason I wanted to change the phone was, and this is going to sound really childish and stupid, but was for multitouch, well that and the newer version of android, which I think the X10 will get eventually, however for some reason I feel I need multitouch?

When getting a smartphone I looked forward to playing all my old Snes Roms etc on the way to work on the train, which is nigh on impossible to do properly without multitouch.

I installed the Wiimotion? app to use a Wii mote on my X10 which is awesome but won't help when I'm on the train.

Now I know that's a bit of a frivilous reason but I dunno, seeing all my work colleague pinch and zoom and playing Monkey Island and Conta got me jealous.

I haven't used a Desire but had a quick go of a mates Legend and wasn't blown away or anything. I actually think I prefer the look/style of my X10, but I still like the Desire, I know the camera's better on the X10 but that's pretty much it isn't it?

So there is my question really, should I change my X10 for a Desire, mainly for the updated Android and Multitouch!

I've posted this in X10 and Desire forums, again sorry if thats a no-no.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I bought my desire a couple of weeks ago now, and when deciding what to buy i was posed with the same question, x10 or desire, at first i was drawn to the x10, i liked it looks and the ui looked cool to, but after comparing the stats at gsm arena it was clear the the better fone was the desire, for starters the amoled screen isnt only better than the xperias lcd but it aparantly also uses less battery, obviously the other thing was multi touch, at this level of technology multi touch should be as standard in all handsets and i think sony have shot themselves in the foot there, also the desire has more ram, and ofcourse sence witch is easly the best launcher on android, i can easly get 24 hrs plus battery out of my desire with moderate usage :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakber:
Cheers dude yea I made the mistake of asuming multitouch was as standard, I've heard differing opinions on the screen apparently the X10 is better in sunlight? But the Desire has much more colours?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
to be hones pal, my hero has a standard lcd and its no better in sunlight than my desire, the desires screen reflects the sun alot more tho so watch out for sunglare ;) as for colours, the desire has 16 million and the xperia has 64 thousand lol you can compare full phone specs ere http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3077&idPhone2=2964
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Xperia only has 64 thousand colours due to the version of Android it is running...it will be better with an upgrade to 2.1/2.2. However multi touch will never find it's way onto the x10.

I love my Desire and you can use ADW on it too. Plus i like having multi touch so i can press B to run on Pokemon... lol.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakber:
"i like having multi touch so i can press B to run on Pokemon... lol."

I've heard nothing but bad things about SE's smartphones, not heard one good review. Their old dumphones used to be amazing though =D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zooklubba:
I've had my X10 since 31th of March and I managed to withdraw the purchase and the first thing I did was buy the Desire. I think that the X10 is prettier but the UI isn't really that nice anymore although I'm also having troubles with the Sense atm.

But I actually think that the Desire is a better phone and I'm happy I changed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
Get a HTC desire much better phone in every aspect.. Apart from maybe the camera. The x10i will most likely never get froyo but the htc desire will (even if we have to wait a while)

Cheers ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexil:
I wanted a x10 at first too, but when they announced it wouldn't have multi touch I was kinda shocked. Few days went by and more confirmations about no multitouch were coming in so that's when I dropped my (to be purchased) X10.

Now I think the X10 is ugly and fat. UI I liked before became too blue. And no information about 2.2.

Desire seems more future proof to me.

-android 2.2

-Amoled

-More Ram

- (not sure about this) More users

I don't see x10 getting any update aside from the 2.1 update which it should have from the start....

I wanted the multi touch for the games too :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakber:
Just an update for those in the same predicament I was.

I (finally) got the HTC Desire on Friday and love it already,

it's feels much more fluid than the X10,

am loving the multitouch, can finally play Mario Kart and Parodious on the train!

The camera feels pretty decent, haven't used it much, but I never really do,

Everything just seems slightly easier, but I put that down to HTC being more experienced than SE with smartphones,

which is a shame because I honestly think I prefer the actual look of the X10, it's screen seemed eyecatching for some reason, and it is still a bloody good phone even with it's limitations.

The Desires only fault for me is it looks to much like an iPhone/etc, other than that great phone.

So when SE have a couple more smartphones under the belt I'll give them another look

but for now I'm happy with my Desire.

Thanks for all the help guys!

P.S. Any recommendatons for vital/usefull apps would be much appreciated. Thanks again guys.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakber:

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
If you feel that you need multitouch than you should get a device that supports it. The X10 doesn't support multitouch either in software or in hardware.

Android will be updated on the X10 soon, either by SE themselves or the community so that is not a huge issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Just a heads up the Desire has the same multitouch problem as the nexus one look it up on youtube if you dont know what i am talking about. hope that helps
[XPERIA X10 General] rakber:

[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
How about the Samsung Galaxy S? I would pick that over the Desire.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Wow, the multitouch on the N1 is horrendous. :O

I assumed it'd be atleast good considering that it's a google flagship phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] rakber:
Just checked, and I don't think it's available on TMobile, shame it looks a good phone. Thanks anyway
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I have an X10 but i think the Desire edges it (for me anyways).

The reason being it's HTC and they have stronger support both from HTC themselves and from the Devs on here on XDA. They have also established themselves as the main player for android devices, and have more experience.

I accepted the intial shortcomings of the X10, with knowledge that the updates would be coming in a timely fashion. This includes both android and performance.

They have not and i'm not just talking about OS.

Basic Telephony - Call Volume

Input- entries not recognised by the digitizer, both keyboard and mediascape.

Functionality -Playlist creation

Sense is in it's 2nd revison and is very stable and I expect to see 2.2 and future versions on that device one way or another. I can't say that with same amount of confidence for the X10.

SE have made a very decent effort with the X10, but their support for the device will be it's downfall.

[XPERIA X10 General] Thol:
X10 support the multitouch Hardware.... but it is limited by the OS 1.6...

With the update in 2.1, multitouch will be a reality on X10 !!!

OS 1.6 limite the number of colors dispayed (65K on 1.6, X10 can display 16M)

Video record in 720p will be possible on 2.1 too.

With same OS version (2.1) X10 has more advantage than Desire.. beautifull screen, camera (APN) and Video are Likely an Real APN SONY 8.1Mo...perfect colors, defeniton... The camera of Desire is Medium, Poor..

THe X10 is better on 3D, sound of MP3 is perfect !! great bass !

Advantage of Desire, the update is more frequent, and quickly...

As for me, My cousin have the desire, and i a have the X10, i prefert my X10 !!

X10 is recently rooted, then I think some devs will adapte the HTc Software to the X10
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'd love to see where you got that info, because everyone else including Sony Ericsson says that the HW doesn't support multitouch.
[XPERIA X10 General] MarylandCookie:
Can you provide your se source for this piece of daydreaming information lol :D

You do know that they have stated the x10 does not

and

will not support multitouch as it is limited by

both

hardware and software!
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
It's this kind of misinformation that led me to believe the X10 would be the better phone in the long run. To fair to Thol even SE support anaylsts were telling me it was a software limitation just days before release.

According to SE it will never support multitouch it's a limitation in both Hardware and software!

As for the 65k colour limitation SE have not been entirely clear on this point especially as the smaller devices ie mini and mini pro have a spec sheet that states the screen is capable of 16 million colours.

Both the mini and mini pro are on 1.6 too. Now if that's true why does Mini on 1.6 support 16m and the x10 on 1.6 support 65k??
[XPERIA X10 General] rakber:
Cheers for the replies guys.

Yea I've read conflicting reports on the multitouch being hardware or software limited, and the same with the screen colours, it's bloody annoying!

Another question which Thol made me realise is what's the mp3 player like on the Desire as that's probably the other main thing I use my phone as, it's seems pretty good on the X10, but as long as it sounds good and dosen't pop and crackle?
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
The thing is, Sony Ericsson themselves have stated and confirmed the hardware does not support multitouch. Please don't listen to these stupid rumors: they come from people who bought the X10 and regret not having multitouch and they want to believe by some miracle the X10 will get multitouch through a software update.

As for the 65k colors: I believe I read this is a hardware limitation as well, but I can't find any sources so maybe someone else can confirm or deny this with a valid source?
[XPERIA X10 General] koyanishi:
From everything I've read the X10 will not support multitouch.

But it will support an equivalent function using one finger that may be superior to multitouch as you can do all the same functions but can do them with one hand. I think we will be getting it with the next major update.

There was an app demonstrating this function but I deleted it and now cannot find it.

And fwiw, I am more and more falling in love with the elegance of the X10 in spite of some bugs and limitations.
[XPERIA X10 General] rakber:
I've just found a vid on youtube with the zoom slide function, I think it's the same one you mean, it looks good but it wouldn't help me with the game side of multitouch I think, which is the main reason I'd want it sorry,

Cheers though.

Dispay type : TFT Capacitive = Multitouch (normaly)

Sorry, X10 is not Multitouch:

"Despite the capacitive technology, the X10 display won't be getting multi-touch support even with the latest OS."

>I realy think it can be multitouch, Sony have afraid about Apple's lawers... Htc Not !

Hosnestly, i had a iPhone 3G, i'd never use the Multitouch function... perhaps only on a game : air Hokey with my son (multi players)

But it is really 16M color :

"Sony Ericsson have also promised that Android 2.1 will at some point be available for the XPERIA X10 enabling the full use of the 16M color-ready display."

For a serious test :

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10-review-463.php

For MP3 player, the X10 Player is more pretty, but too limited fuctions (no remote supported), I use MixZing (free, but with ads), it support this function (remote).

SE promise a update of the player (media scape) some time after the OS update...

Htc's devices are better for their software...But as i said, some devs will adapts these software on X10 too...
[XPERIA X10 General] koyanishi:
No reason to be sorry at all.

I just hope you enjoy whatever you get as much as I do the X10
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
they said that about x10 mini also but they find a multitouch digitizer in it so don't believe sony as it is god
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
True, but it's a bad idea to count on it. Buying something with hopes of finding hardware in it the maker says isn't there is just stupid.
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
With the new update most of the qualms have been taken care of by SE. So, i suggerst you try out both phones running the latest firmware. With the desire the cam is rendered useless.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I second that, the R2 update has really improved the phone. It's faster and has _way_ better power consumption.
[XPERIA X10 General] rakber:
Cheers for the replies guys, yea hopefully I can get the Desire on Wed, just waiting for delivery, hopefully there not jerking me around.

I've tried updating the X10 but still nothing found, I'm in the UK. And yea the cam on the X10 is pretty good, I have to weigh up how often I'll use it.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
You can find the R2 version in the Android Dev/Decrypted roms thread.

Use Omnius to flash it.

Seems to be faster now.

Can't say anything about battery yet because tonight will be the first charge with the new firmware.

See ya
