I don't hate sense. I do hate the sense homescreen which i have replaced by launcherpro. But the facebook integration and the interface changes do make an addition imo! It could be smoother though ,hope that changes in 2.2
[Nexus One General] Legaleye3000:
The only difference I see is the .3 size increase in the screen. Anything else different? Thanks

Well apparently the N1 now officially has 2.2. I'd say that's a pretty big feature. :D

Yea, but the Galaxy S will also have 2.2 ... Its already been rooted by Paul...

The Galaxy has a Hummingbird GPU, which is more powerful than the Adreno the Nexus has. Actually I believe it is the best out of all the Android devices.

[Nexus One General] thisguy10:
i think the jump from the N1 to the Galaxy is nice but more so for someone who wants to have the next best thing, because I'm certainly happy with my N1 with no hurry to purchase a new phone. My brother on the other hand has a blackberry and would like to try something else so i feel its a bigger jump for him then someone with current specs on a phone.
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
The Galaxy S does not have LED Flash.

[Nexus One General] temperbad:
It also has a better screen .... super amoled and real multitouch (like that matters since I don't play games on My phone
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
How about....it's not running stock Android, so it will take forever to get updates... If it gets updates at all. This is Samsung we're talking about. Anyone remember that Behold II? It's finally getting upgraded... to 1.6. I'd also want to know the details on whether any of the Google services have been replaced by Yahoo, as I had read a couple of months back on Samsung phones.

1. Galaxy has significantly better media playback. (mkv,divx,xvid ect)

2. Twice as fast 3D performance. (2x FPS in games)

Why in the hell would T-Mo not attempt to push a technologically superior device?:confused: I just don't get it....Verizon, Sprint and the DeathStar(at&t) all entice customers with very good devices.... After reading the Tmo Vibrant specs I have no motivation to ditch my Nexus One at all. Actually I'm more inclined to get a HD2 and hack Froyo onto it.:D
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Yeah the screen and gpu are the biggies in my book. Of course, nexus will be made with a tft LCD (I'm sure I butchered itsbreal make) instead of ****ty amoled soon so maybe the gpu will end up being the main attraction. Whatever I just hope there's a nexus two planned for the future
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
I do like it's name :D but will be hanging on to my Nexus for a while ;)

[Nexus One General] JustinLoe:
Uh.. Seriously? Gimped? I too have no idea why they'd not include a FFcamera but being the bad ass phone it is spec wise, could no way in any shape or form consider it gimped lol... Jesus christ. I would only consider maybe a motoblur device gimped... or possibly the htc aria "gimped" a small fraction. Nevermind.

Only one good version? So this version isn't "good"? Please stop.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but it did say general for the htc kaiser.

I've recently acquired a htc kaiser from a friend. I contacted at&t for the unlock code but they gave me the wrong one. By the time I recieved the correct code I could no longer attemt to unlock the phone because there had already been 5 attempts. I have seen on some of the posts here that after 5 attempts the phone is permantly locked. Is there any way to get past this issue? Can i still use the kaiser sim unlocker without bricking the phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
If you used your PIN 5 times you will need to enter your PUK code (You should ask AT&T for it, If you didn't get it when you received your sim)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kurl_187:
I appologize I wasn't specific enough. My carrier is T-mobile and the phone is from at&t. I trying to unlock the phone so it will recognize my sim. There has been five attempts to unlock it and now it will let me input a code but I can't use the ok button to process the code. The message on the screen says "please wait until timeout is over." I did try using the puk code but it wouldn't let me confirm the code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kurl_187:
I already have the 8 digit unlock code from at&t.

So I have an x1 which may have gotten wet, but the water damage indicator is still white. The battery indicator is red/pink. I attempted to use a battery from an x10 (same model), which was brand new in box (they told me it was charged). The phone vibrated, illuminated a green light on the side, and went rainbow, and died. the screen did not illuminate or anything. Is there anyway to get the data off my phone before attempting to hard reset it? I can only assume that the battery isnt what the problem is, as the new one i used did nothing. Thanks

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
Send the phone into repair with sony ericsson.

When you send it to the repair center they do not require the back cover or the battery so they wont know its been damaged hopefully, but if they do realise its been damaged by water worst that will happen is that they'll charge you for postage but if that water indicator is not red then they should repair it.

so just ring sony and they'll tell you what to do

Hi..

After almost 3 years, I Have upgrade my HERMES to HERO...

Therefore I have no use for my HERMES...

but I Had a very good days with it, I almost got feelings for this cell...

I'd like to know your opinions:

1. Should I Keep it for reminding me the good old days ?

maybe even show this to my kids in the far future... or sell it when it will be old enough, for 1000$

2. Should I Sell it in the near future ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] r34c7:
Keep it, it's an amazing phone. Though you have a Hero, you can use the Hermes as a backup phone. :D

Hi All,

I seem to remember there being a guide to decrypting roms for the x10.

I've saved a backup of my oz optus firmware from pc companion and was hoping to make an unecrypted version of it to be used with flashtool.

I've tried searching and I simply cannot find the guide to unencrypt (That's if memory serves me correctly and it even exists.)

Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Does anyone know how to do it tho? I downloaded the "tool to partially decrypt" but it doesn't show any instructions or anything.. Just a bunch of files..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
That tool won't decrypt the ROM. I will decrypt it soon (read: when I get access to my external HDD).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dangerzau:
With that said lollylost, Do you need me to upload the two files somewhere?

Main reason I wanted to decrypt it was to extract the optus my account apk as its not available on either the market or the optus.com.au website.

And yeah i'd allready downloaded the decompression tools. Lollylost, have you got some sort of application or even a guide on how to decrypt the firmwares?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
Would be nice if you could upload the firmware since all my firmwares are on the inaccessible HDD.

Hey guys, maybe u can help me...

i flashed my x10i with flashtool to the R2BA(shipped) Rom ok,

but now id like to flash it back to my old .16 Rom which i had before on ma device, it is a unbranded .16 version, id like to flash it back cuz i want to make later if hopefully the new R2BA for free devices comes out in SEUS to flash it officially,

ive saved my original files: 2 files :111Mb , the other : 16Mb

but how do i flash it back !? with flashtool its not possible i guess isnt it ?

ive tried flashing with seus by changing files in the db folder (by the way is there somewhere a description how to do that exactly ? )but it doesnt seem to work...

pls guys i need ya help

Reflashing back to different firmware

Reflashing has been covered before but since I had trouble with it I feel for you so i'll post my lil guide

Hopefully its allowable to link to file on other sites (If not can a mod feel free to edit this post and I'll create a pdf guide if thats okay).

EDIT: Turns out as a new user I can't link to external sites and services. With that in mind if you do a google search for "download SEUS" and scroll down till you see the sony ericcson site, you should be okay.

Step 1

Download SEUS if you dont allready have it (NOT pcCompanion that a different program)

Step 2

Using SEUS, run your phone through a repair. That means let SEUS download firmware and install it to your phone.

Step3

When using SEUS the db folder will be in C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\YOURIMEINUMBERGOESHERE\blob_fs

Find the two largest files in that folder select it so its highlighted & press F2 on the keyboard to rename the file. The filename will now be highlighted. Press <Ctrl> + <C> to copy the file name to your clipboard, press <ESC> to cancel the rename.

Now that you have copied the Filename to your clipboard, locate where you saved your original firmware files and highlight the largest one. Press <F2> again and this time press <Ctrl> + <V> . This will paste the new filename onto your firmware.

Do the same for the second largest file.

Step 4

With the file rename complete, you can now copy the two files you just rename into your C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\YOURIMEINUMBERGOESHERE\blob_fs folder.

Step 5

Run through the repair again with SEUS however this time when SEUS says its downloading it will take a matter of seconds and then flash your original firmware back onto your phone.

Step 6

ALL DONE :D Enjoy your original firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dangerzau:
Lollylost: I tried to upload files and it crapped out about 50% of the way through.

I did notice that there was once an SEUS plugin that you had uploaded to hotfile that did the decrypt on the fly, is it still possible to get this plugin so i can finally extract the my account.apk and get on with rooting my phone? :)

Cheers

Me
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dangerzau:
Uploaded

LollyLost: I've uploaded the firmware for you it's here: http://www.multiupload.com/RAOCA34155

If you could do me a favour and extract the my account application on there so I can root and put back the usage counter would be great.

[Android Apps and Games] mpg187:
Okay what I want is a way to encrypt files on my SD Card transparently. For example, when I make a "Compressed Folder" in Astro File Manager called "b" it makes a file called "b.acd"

What I want is a way to encrypt file like that, where it makes a file on the SD Card but like b.acd, it's encrypted (I assume b.acd isn't because I am assuming anyone who has Astro can read it).

So I want the folder to act like any other folder on my phone (and in order to access it I have to unlock my phone, no one who doesn't know my unlock pattern can't use it) and if they take out the card and use a card reader all they see is a file that they cannot open.

I guess whatever app does this will ask me for a key when I install it so then the app will encrypt and decrypt the data as I am using it.

I have searched the market for encryption software, but with the apps I found I had to manually encrypt and decrypt the files myself unlike how Astro uses ACD archives...

Possibly maybe there could be a program I can run on my PC to access the encrypted files when I provide it with the key...
[Android Apps and Games] mercianary:
I have a similar requirement

What I did was make a disk image and call it pagefile.sys

Then I mount the image to a folder when I want access

If you use an ext filesystem on the image when you plug it into windows all you see is a 1gig file called pagefile.sys and can't access it.

It is not very secure, but hidden well enough so someone can't stumpble upon it. Unless they are a bit computer savvy.

So it depends what your hiding and who your hiding it from.
[Android Apps and Games] mpg187:
Where did you put the file, on your card? How did you mount it to a folder? I want something a little more secure. Should the phone get stolen or something, even if the crackhead that steals it doesn't know how to access the files, they might find someone who can...
[Android Apps and Games] mercianary:
Yep. The file can go anywhere on the SD and be called anything.

it is mounted with a terminal emulator to any folder in the same way you would in Linux.

the command would be

# mount -o loop -w -t ext2 filename foldername

If you want something more secure I would look elsewhere.

Truecrypt is excellent. But you won't be able to access your files on your phone. Truecrypt for android would be the nuts if someone wants to port it. It is open source.
[Android Apps and Games] mpg187:
Oh so you can get a termnal emulator? Where did you get yours from, the market?
[Android Apps and Games] mercianary:
Yep. Connectbot is the best.
[Android Apps and Games] mpg187:
It says ConnectBot is an SSH client, so do you have to connect to localhost or something?
[Android Apps and Games] mercianary:
That's right. You get 3 options in connectbot.

Telnet

SSH

Local.

You can set a shortcut to local on your homescreen if you like.
[Android Apps and Games] mpg187:
Anyways, does anyone here know how to actually encrypt the files?

I found a program on the Market that lets you store text and pictures (in the paid version) and acesss them directly without encrypting and decrypting them. But it would be nice if there was a free app that let you store files like normal...
[Android Apps and Games] kromem:
APG is what you want if you want security.

An android port of GPG, which is basically NSA quality encryption depending on how you set your keys.

Create your filesystem as mentioned above, and then encrypt it using APG. Delete the original. Now you have an encrypted filesystem. When you want to access, decrypt, mount, make changes, unmount, reencrypt, delete original.

A pain in the butt, but you won't be able to be more secure.
[Android Apps and Games] mpg187:
Would you have to repeat those steps everytime you change the filesystem?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aestivalisakito:
Can it even be done hardware wise? my wife just broke her 8925 and ironically enough we just switched services from t-Mobile to ATT (I knew I was going to lose 3g, however I thought someone with t-mobile would be more receptive to a trade offer of ATT Tilt2 and give them a Touch Pro2, which I might add is sim/cid/sec unlocked. Exact same phone and they would get T-Mobile 3g on theirs and I would get my ATT 3g and I would be happy, but not a single taker.

Anyway Can this be done? If so how? I have the 8925 dissasembled down to the mainboard already, my spare tp2 is sitting next to it, I will take pictures of every step if this is possible to do so it can be used for reference later.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Jesterarts:
Hey,

I've been trolling through various threads on here and other forums trying to find one standout 2.1 ROM with SenseUI.

A good 95% of the stuff said in those threads is completely over my head, like, I was wathcing the tutorial videos to root and flash my phone lol.

I have a 32A Magic with 3.22 Radio and 1.33.2005 SPL.

I'm currently running CyanogenMod 5.0.8-final Stable/Fast 2.1 which is pretty awesome but coming from Cupcake with SenseUI I do miss the 'shininess' of the Sense Widgets and UI.

Plus little things like the trackerball notification not working and not being able to change LED notification color for SMS annoy me with the CyanogenMod ROM.

Anyone have a recommendation to make?

Fair noob question I know, but I want to minimise how many times i have to flash and reflash stuff to minimise my opportunities to brick my phone. :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Jesterarts:
Thanks blizard80.

Quick question in regards to that ROM.

Does it allow me to set the dual functionality for the red 'End' button?

When I was running cupcake 1.5 I was able to set that on first press teh End button took me to the home screen and then on the second press it would go to sleep.

The Cyanogen ROM I am currently running does not support this, even thought the option is in available for it in configure.

This is actualyl a fairly key functionality I would like to make sure my next rom has.

So does it work in the smoki 0.6.13.1 ROM?

Thanks,
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blizard80:
may i ask why you need this?

why don't o press red button to sleep and home button to go home?
