[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I originally thought that too, but I've since found out that flash 10.1 (the one we want) will only run on 2.2 (Froyo) or higher.

So no flash for us in Q3!

The info can be found on Adobe's own site.

I think the only way for us to get it running on the x10 any time soon is through custom ROMs.

I doubt SE will deliver 2.2 for a long while if at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] hiraj_panosian:
That's not true, look at the desire, it supports flash too and runs on 2.1 too. I don't know how HTC has done that. But as far as I know it's flash 10.1 lite
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Yeah I used to have a HTC Hero and HTC integrated a version of flash lite (flash lite 3) into its browser too. The hero was on Android 1.5.

Unfortunately though it was hit and miss as it was akin to an older flash version so the sites with the later versions of flash wouldn't play.

Also videos were choppy at best and not fully optimized for the handset. I believe the desire will be similar it uses flash lite 4.

Only the flash 10.1 is akin to what you'd have on desktops/laptops, so you could play videos in browser on the BBC website e.t.c. and have they play well.

In anycase it won't come with 2.1. Thats just something HTC integrate into their own browser, the Sony x10 probably won't get it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Here is a link to Adobe's press release.

http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/201006/06222010FlashPlayerAvailability.html

The original confusion was that flash for Android was announced to be released on Android 2x. So we all thought 2.1, it was later confirmed that it was in the 2x series but it was to be 2.2 froyo.
[XPERIA X10 General] x1tom:
its the BBC that means I want 10 on my x10.. so looking like root and 2.2 when it becomes available.. thanks for input
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Me too! it would've been great to watch some of the world cup matches on this thing whilst at work!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
Flash Lite 4 is what runs on 2.1, hmmm, I was sure I read that it supported 2.1 on Adobe's site. Well Skyfire 2.1 is out and it handles flash better than Adobe's Flash ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I guess it will be possible to get flash lite working on 2.1. However it OS not something we can just install, it was something HTC got working with their handsets.

The difference is that anyone with 2.2 can download 10.1 from the market and install. Flash lite is not readily available (as far as I'm aware)

If anyone has any links e.t.c that are current and state that flash 10.1 (the one we want) will be available on 2.1 could you please post them? Cheers

I tried skyfire but was unable to get the content I wanted to play. Has anyone in the UK got skyfire to work with the world cup or Iplayer?
[XPERIA X10 General] kmaximax:
you can already use USTREAM ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] x1tom:
sure, but its not the same as having the flash engine installed on the phone!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
There maybe hope yet!!

Whilst searching the net I came across this little gem.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/

According to this we will be able to install flash 10.1 on our x10 after the 2.1 upgrade. Aside from the fact the performance may not match devices running flash on 2.2, it will work.

----------------------

GUTTED ... just checked this info with the Motorola milestone forum and it appears the info above is not accurate.

Many have tried installing flash and it has not worked. they seem to believe this hack will only work with HTC devices, which are already designed to run flash lite.

Oh well it was fun while it lasted!

2 guys in the n1 section here gave me these articles during a converstation i was having with them. i havent read them yet becuase im at work, but it sounds interesting. ive never heard anyone say this before. im going to try it out.

http://androidspin.com/2010/05/25/why-you-dont-need-a-task-killer-app-with-android/
[Droid Incredible General] Studmf:
I think it is more user preference, they can cause issues. I use mine often and would not be without it.
[Droid Incredible General] elborak:
Automated task killers (as opposed to something like SystemPanel which is just a convenient way to kill running processes) are bad. They hearken back to 1.x versions of Android which had poorer process/memory management.

Just say no.
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
I've downloaded a task manager that shows the CPU usage, and even with a ton of things open (browser, etc) most of them show 0% unless i go reopen them. and i havent killed any tasks since yesterday.
[Droid Incredible General] bluetooth_decay:
+1. I use a manual one, and have excluded apps that I know cause problems when they are killed (e.g., contact-specific ringtones don't sound if People is not running). Mostly that is system apps and stuff that comes on the phone; I haven't taken the time yet to prune HTC apps that I don't use (and you must be careful with some of those, too).

But I rarely have to use it. I usually have >200MB free RAM, and the phone is responsive. I don't think I'd need it at all if more apps had exit buttons, but it seems that few do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] magic mikey:
So ive finally rooted my phone (big thanks to all thsi site) and currently running villanrom 2.1

BUT what would you say is the best rom for me to put on based

newness

stability

functionality

flashyness

cheers for the help :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
This has been asked SO MANY times. Please search the forum before asking...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twiztedvvv:
What phone do you have, Im assuming its a hero. im running EZHero v5, my fave so far :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nwndarkness:
Well bugless beast is pretty simple. But I haven't really encountered a ROM that was difficult. They kind of all act similar. The only difference is the features and performance.

For stability, speed, and "ease" I recommend bugless beast.

If you want some wow factor, you should look for something like cyanogen mod. It has the most themes written for it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figgeo:
I´m going to Spain for a cupple weeks this summer (a week on menorca and two in Barcelona) and i am planning to take my phone and use it like i use to. like google navigation, gmail, google talk and so on.

Anyone know a good prepaid card to use, i will call a lot of domestic call, and some home to Sweden. And then the data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
I believe Yoigo offers cheap prepaid 3G sim cards with cheap data. You may need to buy 2 or 3 of them (use, dispose rather than topup)

Works out about €1.20 + vat per day.

As far as I know you need photo ID to buy any sim card in Spain.

HTH.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figgeo:
Thanks, I would check it when I arrives to Barcelona.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danimar1:
I use Yoigo (as you can see on the left) and I can recommend it to you, I'm on a contract but they offer prepaid data as cpm said.

The best part of Yoigo is that, even though they have their own 3G coverage it is quite bad, so they have an agreement with Movistar and in areas where they don't have coverage you automatically use Movistar's coverage. Movistar has clearly the best coverage nationwide (been a client there for many years), so you get Movistar coverage at Yoigo prices basically.

Another plus of this situation is that if you have to use 2G (probably it will happen to you in Menorca...), you will be, again, using Movistar's network and they are the only ones who have deployed EDGE in some areas, the rest of the spanish operators only offer GPRS in 2G.

Anyway if you need other options you can check Simyo or Masmovil, these are MVNO who offer cheap data

Hope this helps!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justclimb:
On prepaid SIM cards there are two companies that have unbeatable balance between price & quality: SIMYO and PEPEPHONE.

Check their sites and ask me back if doubts appear.

If you want SPEED...and wide coverage: forget about Movistar ( Vomit-star) and check my signature

;)

Good luck getting Vodafone 3G coverage in Menorca

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiley87:
Great news that it has finally been dispatched, although a lengthy six months was incurred! I've got a few questions if someone could clear them up for me?

With this new release, this is the OFFICIAL Release, meaning that this is what HTC has finally decided works. Excuse my noobism, but does that mean that a new kernel is added? I have seen that the Cronos kernel is still being added/replaced, does this mean no kernel comes with the new release?

Also with battery life, do we know whether or not the battery life is a lot better than the releases in the past, or is there no difference?

One last question relates to games. Using the touch buttons on the Gameboy Emulator for example lags the game, is this still present? Are games running faster now that the new update has been released?

Sorry for the questions, I'm just a little confused with all the different Custom ROMS popping about.
[HD2 General] corollagtssrx:
Hello, So I just got my new HD2 unlocked and on ATT and for some reason I can surf the internet, send/recieve sms but can not send/recieve MMS. I have tried the various patches, triple checked all MMS Server Settings (wireless cingular com and http mmsc cingular com ) and am still not getting anywhere.

I just called ATT today to get my IMEI number updated and that still hasnt helped. I am running Touch X-Treme 2 2.0.00.01, Rom Version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE, Radio Version 2.10.50.28_2 and I just had Rom Version 2.11.50.29 (i think) earlier today with no change.....

Any Info would be great, I've looked all over the forums with no success, I'm in the Portland Oregon area and picture messages would be nice :P

-James
[HD2 General] rbrookstx:
I have never had good luck with ANY of the custom roms on either ATT or tmobile getting and sending MMS. I'd suggest flash back to stock ROM and then try it with the correct settings. I ended up doing that and its worked flawlessly. I just had to manually customise my ROM.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
I am running a custom rom and have never had an issue with sending or receiving MMS once I am done flashing this rom and testing Ill upload all the settings. I am also running on ATT

[HD2 General] corollagtssrx:
Hey, Thanks you guys for your help, I think I can do a flash within a couple hours, will PIMBackup save MMS messages that I have not 'downloaded'? And should I go back to the TMobile ROM or the HTC?

One other little thing, Should 3G/HSDPA be working with this phone on ATT's network?

THANKS SO MUCH!!

-James
[HD2 General] corollagtssrx:
Soooo.... I just recieved a picture with Energy Rom.... soooo.....hmmm.... the only thing i dont like about energy is the menu bar at the bottom....looks like crap....so hopefully Touch X-Treme can use some tweaking to get it working.

Thanks for the help guys! Oh, and so there is no way to get ATT 3G working with this phone?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Correct, AT&T uses 3G bands that the Tmo hardware isn't able to handle (and vice-versa). You can still use their EDGE data though.
[HD2 General] corollagtssrx:
Yeah, MMS still isnt working with Touch X-Treme....
[HD2 General] borguo:
Is this normal?

Service: TMOUS

Phone HTC HD2 Latest 2.13 Rom

I'll try to make this as short as possible.

Connectivity issues everywhere but work.

I have been speaking with T-mobile for atleast 3 weeks about my ongoing data connectivity issues, I rarely had 3g except for at work, and edge worked most of the time except for random data outages that seemed to last about 30 min or until I rebooted the device.

So about a week ago I had 2 more Service requests opened, you need 3 in order to aquire a trouble ticket with t-mobile. About 1-2 days after having these service requests opened, I started receiving pop ups "unable to connect to epc.tmobile.com" I would then have to manually turn my data connect back on, upon trying to power it on, it would prompt me to manage my connections or create a new one, I would then have to edit the apn and resave it.

So I thought well lets try one of the other apn's same issue except no pop up, my data connection would just drop, and I would have to turn it on and off 3 or 4 times. So I wiped the device and restored back to orginal settings- same issue.

I called t-mobile yesterday to check the status of my tickets after not being called back as promised for like the 8th time, I ended up telling the story to about 7 different people, Eventually coming to the conclusion that they first want to send me a replacement. So ok no big deal $10 bucks for shipping and $10 bucks to replace my armor. Lo and behold today it works amazing not 1 3g drop, slacker has not stopped playing in the middle of a song and my data connection has not randomly turned off.

EXCEPT

When I send or receive data in the form of a text msg.

Data will totally drop, It will come back as soon as I try to browse the web or wait about 5-10 minutes.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
If it isn't full 3G, then the data connection will pause to receive the text message.
[HD2 General] borguo:
How can you tell if its full strength? I read that the bars do not mean that 3g is full strength, just that the cell service is.

Either way, I have full bars and it does this at any location I test from.

It's just strange that everytime I speak with T-mobile my phone symptoms totally change.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Sorry, I meant when it is EDGE or GPRS, rather than HSDPA/3G.

Sometimes mine pauses a 3G connection too, but not all the time.
[HD2 General] borguo:
Ahh ok I see, good to know it shouldn't do it all the time , especially at places it did not happen prior.
[HD2 General] borguo:
Tested my gf's HD2 which is currently half way across Phoenix, Arizona. She now has the same disconnect from data problem after receiving a text with a picture.

[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
hah well if the Nascar quality is decent...then what the hell at least.

so he is poking fun at both ... how is the 1 funnier than the other? ill admit the nascar and 4g ish made me laugh. only because I keep getting people saying "dude you pay for 4g and you don't even get it!" first off, 10 bones aside (for whatever) and 4g bleeds into the burbs here and easily outweighs any individuals phone connection I come across. considering I get, what I assume, is weak 4G but still enough to show. its funny. but I get it so it can be funny.

I too am sufferring from low volume on the phone. I particularly notice it when I am on a call without earphones. Haven't used the earphones yet. This was the case before I rooted.

PS: coming from a NOKIA N95
[XPERIA X10 General] rynoon:
If you change the gain on the /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv file on a rooted ROM it should change the volume/make the sound a little more distorted. There should be some info online about that.

It getting heated very fast and the batter lasts only for about 16 hrs (may be will improve after 5-6 charges).

So Im planning to send it back and change to X10.

> I want to know the in call volume through the earpiece on the phone and the

> By any chance is the phone gets heats up?

Pls help with your comments. thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 General] geovision:
There is a certain issue with the incall volume although to me it is not so big problem. Of course I wanted it to be louder. There is no issue about the phone getting hot. That is my opinion and experience so far!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
In my opinion, the volume at its highest setting is loud enough for me to hear people while walking through busy Japanese train stations, but then again, it does take some getting used to. You have to hold the handset to your ear in a certain way, or it's kinda miffled.

I never take the phone out of vibrate mode, so I can't comment towards the speaker's volume. Seems on par with the iPhone 4, when it comes to playing music.
