Hero eats X8 on breakfast

I have to agree with alan here.

I own the X8 and my previous devices were Hero,Desire and X10mini.

X8 has got the worst Sony treatment and was never updated to 2.1 so far.

The hardware by specs sounds reasonable, but is frankly sluggish with all the sony bull**** and customizations.

The original framework is hardly usable, I can't see how anyone would like it, and most people use custom framework with HTC icons and colors ..

Believe me, your gf using Hero and SenseUI gets much better Android experience than if she would use X8 with current firmware.

So to sum up, I would confirm Alan's words - everything sony-ericsson done to Android is rubbish, they are nowhere near SenseUI in usability and plain logic.

If you still want to have the customizations, I can publish system folder for your masochistic experience.

P.S. X8 with froyo-sense would make a really great phone though!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fysi:
What would be the point in this considering that the X8 is still running 1.6, and is a massive piece of rubbish? Seriously I don't know how many complaints I've had from customers at O2 that have been sold an Xperia phone, on the suggestion of getting an Android phone from a friend.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Didn't someone manage to get the X10 ROM (+framework +libs) running on a Pulse or Acer Liquid?... I'm certain of it.

Maybe they can help you.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] killakilna:
I don't want X8 rom for a hero, i want the hero rom on my X8 =D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stroobach:
i agree with that +1 maybe for the x10 also so my classmate can expierience the greateness of the hero :)
[HD Mini General] tuanphuc:
Hi all ,

Now I'm using power button to lock or open the screen of HD mini , please help me : How can I lock the phone with touch key ( close key ) ??

Thank a lot .
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
Go to settings tab then: menu/all settings/personal/buttons. Check "end key" tab and select option "lock device".
[HD Mini General] tuanphuc:
Thank U , I did it, but when i check on End key this message appear :" Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please select a different button assignment " How can I do ?
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
Well, i don't know what type of rom you are using, or what kind of software you have installed, but my "end key" works like it should.
[HD Mini General] tuanphuc:
Hi , My ROM : os ver : 5.2.23103, Manila ver : 2.5.20131825.1 , Rom ver : 1.07.707.1(85429) , Romdate : 03/25/10.

I tried many time , but got same message , so can't do more .
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
There is a new rom available on htc's site. I recommend you to update your rom.
[HD Mini General] tuanphuc:
did you mean this Rom : RUU_PHO3100_20100519.exe ?? i loaded it form HTC site .
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
No, that one is the update for ringtones ... if you can't find the new rom on htc site, i guess is not available for your area yet.

Check the htc site or you can try conflipper's official roms from here

how to stop this?

sdcard turns on when screen is on but gets disconnected when i hit the end call button.:confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DaemionIX:
Just noticed this morning that the top paid apps tab is missing from all categories in the market. Was this something that changed recently or have I broken something? Running SlideMeRoot5r1.

edit: paid apps are still visible, just the top paid tab gone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
I can't see them either :\
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
I have a brand new one, completely unrooted and I don't see it either.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] andrewiz2kewl:
omg me too, I thought my phone was messed up. I would like someone to fix this please. I'm really mad at it. I can't even see if theres an update available on my apps for instance, google maps.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
Also does anyone have a problem w/ installing apps from market??? Everytime I try n install a new app in the notification bar it says its done but when I go to the "my downloads" it has that progress bar looping and doesn't stop unless I reboot the phone or kill the market. Kinda weird...anyone else get the same thing??? Oh yeah, its brand new and unrooted so idk if that matters.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Ive been having the same problem since about midnight last night.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
Which problem the tabs or the same thing as me???
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Well, I did have a problem with the progress bar for installing apps, but the apps installed fine, so I didnt think anything of it.

As of right now the missing Paid tab is my main problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
Yeah they installed fine, but its kinda a pain when I want to uninstall an app rite away lol. Did this stop happening to u or its still going on for u too???
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Yep, just tested it, and its still doing the same thing.

Progress bar moves along fine when its downloading, but it will say "Installing..." on the downloads page even after Ive gotten the notification that its installed. I can go into my app drawer and see it there, uninstall it, and the progress bar still doesnt disappear on the downlaods page. Only way to make it go away is to force stop the market as you said earlier.

It must be something bigger than just the couple of us, because from the couple people Ive seen on here reporting it, weve all got this problem under different circumstances. For instance, I just wiped my phone, havent got root though. People with root have it too. Even you, who has a brand new phone has this problem.

Something tells me were going to be hearing a lot more reports of this soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
Yeah, glad to hear it not just me, hopefully they'll give us an ota update to fix this kind of stuff.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
I just tipped Engadget, hopefully they'll test out their Slide, and we'll see just how isolated this issue is...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DaemionIX:
Yeah I have the exact same issue. Thats been going on for a few days for me tho. I just kill the market when I'm done.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Another midnight has passed, and the problem still persists.

Please tip Engadget, and whatever your favorite gadget site is...lets get this known so something can be done!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] srtpro4mance:
I'm having the same issue now "Paid Apps" tab on my Nexus One. Kinda the same boat...I've had the issue since around midnight last night. Hopefully we get a fix soon. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fenixnr:
I have a a non rooted mytouch slide, been rebooted 4 times today and no issues with the market, showing top paid and so forth just fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] archie53:
My Market seems to be working fine, sort of, I can see the paid apps tab everywhere I go, but I have seen the installing in the notification bar issue. Maybe there is some update coming or something.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
I don't have the missing tabs issue but I have had certain paid apps not showing up since I updated to slidemeroot5r1.

Can someone else see if fandango and ride hopper full show up in the market for them? Neither do for me now and fandango is free. Only thing I can think of is copy protected apps that go in app-private aren't showing up and somehow know I'm rooted?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Fandango is showing up not only on the Featured page for me, but also in a search. I can also see Ride Hopper full and lite through a search.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
Are you rooted or stock?

Now I'm starting to wonder if things are tied to our gmail accounts......
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Stock, only notable thing I've done lately is wipe my phone. However this problem doesn't seem to be isolated to rooted or non-rooted phones. We've got all different scenarios just here in this thread, rooted, non-rooted, recently wiped, even a brand new phone is experiencing it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
I believe my issue is related to apps2sd.

I have all the tabs but I can't view DRM managed apps.

If I revert to my slideme2 rom and wipe my google account shows them. If I do the same on slidemeroot5r1 it doesn't. I even reflashed and tried a virgin rom. Either slidemeroot5r1 is screwey with the market or it knows apps2sd is there and won't play nice.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
It can't have anything to do w/ A2SD cuz I have a brand new phone, unrooted and everything and I have the same issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Same here, never touched apps2sd
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
So fandango and ride hopper full don't show up for you two either?

I'm NOT talking about the tabs!!! I HAVE THE TABS, I'm missing the full paid DRM apps showing up in the marketplace.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
Yeah fandango shows up but ride hopper didn't show up til about a hour ago for me, kinda weird.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
No I have both.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tommydjay:
brand new out of the box....makes me wonder what else is screwed up

MyTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
No top paid apps as well as no paid apps. When I try and open a paid app page it won't do it. wtf.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
Hey guys I didn't think I had a problem with this until I checked for fandango and ride hopper...I have the top paid apps tab, and I can see all sorts of paid apps, but when I search for fandango it comes up no result. I also noticed this with a game I purchased, DefendHomeland, I wiped my phone and when I went back to redownload it it didn't show up...I can still see the demo for it, but the full version is nowhere to be found...running SMR5r1.

has anybody tried MarketEnabler?

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
How did u take a screenshot rite out of the box??? Wouldn't u need to be rooted to do that???
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
this is all tied to your gmail account. I dont know how to fix it but it has been going on for me since my G1. you can see paid apps but you just have to search instead of using the tab. my best suggestion is to just look through the just in tab or search. I know it sucks but there is real no solution unless you wanna change your account. but then you lose your email and previously paid for apps. so I would suggest just dealing with it. too bad google has no support what so ever. all they do is tell you to clear market cache blah blah blah. wiping or removing a2sd or trying a different rom might help but it wouldnt work for everyone with this issue. so as of now, there is no solution that will help everyone. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
Let me try this one more time. I cannot even search for paid apps, at all. I can search for fandango, but it will not show up. If I click a link to a paid app, it takes me to an error page.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
okay last night i tried pushing the build.prop from SlideMeROOT2 to my slide, running SMR5r1, to no avail. i guess i missed the part that said that the useful info is autogenerated by buildinfo.sh and i havent tried to dig for that yet. so the file i pushed didnt stick cus it was just regenerated back to what it was.

so this morning i went and downloaded the latest MarketEnabler, and it works fine! You guys should try it, now i have no problem seeing Fandango or Ride Hopper Full in the market, also i can now see and redownload the game (Defend Homeland Full) that i couldnt see.

so you guys should definitely give it a shot, it worked for me!

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Where can I find find MarketEnabler? Never needed it before.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
what settings did you pick for marketenabler?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
its on google code...you can google MarketEnabler or market enabler and it should be the first result...

its something like (us)[TMobile] or whatever, its the TMO US one...its pretty close to the top of the list...

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
and to use this, just install, go to settings, long press then tell it to set and go back in the market?

Cause I did just that and I still can't see fandango or ride hopper full
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
yeah, it should work...maybe try it again and if it doesnt work right then, try a reboot...maybe go clear your market cache and delete the backup at /sdcard/backup/TMobile myTouch3g Slide/com.android.vending...

but honestly i didnt reboot or anything...i just installed the app, selected TMobile US, then exitted the app.

Come to think of it, i did it twice before i checked the market...i dunno if you wanna try doing that, but it worked for me the first time i opened the market, i didnt reboot or anything.

Yeah just longpress on TMO US, and click "fake this provider now" (its the only option when it pops up lol)

then go back to the left tab and press save current settings...

What rom are you using?

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
yeah did that, didnt work for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Do you need to be rooted for ME to work? Tried it and just keep getting "we got a problem houston :(" when trying to change my provider.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
yeah, it came up with SU permission access.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Well damn, guess I'm gonna have to hope a firmware update fixes it. I'm done trying to root with the current methods.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
what ROM are you running?

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
slidemeroot5r1

And like I said, if i revert to slidemeroot2 and reset up everything, EVERYTHING shows up in my market there. EVERYTHING
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Well maybe he said that because he was referring to the problem reported by the OP and by several others after him. Its ok if you have a different problem, but being rude about it all isn't gonna fix it. Start your own topic if you want answers specific to your problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
Thats strange...i dunno what would cause it to work for me and not for you...especially on the same rom...

well im sorry to have gotten your hopes up and it not work for you...i swear it worked right away for me...hopefully someone else will try it and succeed and then we can try and troubleshoot why it doesnt work for you.

have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app? right this second thats the only other thing i can think of...but i will keep trying to figure out the solution...i mean, after i made such a big deal about it, i do kinda feel obligated to help you get it to work. also just so we're clear, the version im using is 3.0.8, which appears to be the latest...is this the version you are using?

wait...do me a favor if youve got a second...try faking some of the other providers and see if ANY of them will work for you...there are two other tmo entries in the list besides US, one is AT the other is NL, i have no idea what or where those are but maybe if you try faking another provider...ive never tried faking any other besides tmo US, but ive never had to, either...i dunno, maybe one of them has to work...

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
yes, 3.0.8.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, picked all of the spoof sites and still nothing worked.

It's weird, cause like i said if i revert to a nandroid of slidemeroot2 and wipe settings, i see EVERYTHING in the market.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
I remember someone saying their market wasn't telling them when updates were available. Just wanted to say that mine just told me I had an update for LauncherPro. I am still missing my paid apps tab, but I guess my Market doesn't have that specific bug.

I've looked over the official Market help forum, and it seems the general consensus is that its stemming from Gmail accounts, as stated earlier in the thread. Don't know what's changed in mine, because I never once had this issue on my G1, and I didn't have it on this phone the first few weeks.

Either way, I've also heard on that forum that a Google employee replied to one of the threads concerning this issue, and that they are looking into it. Id link the thread in question, but there were so many on this very problem, I couldn't hunt it down.

Hopefully this really is being looked into, and well have a fix soon...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
I used market enabler and got updates and paid apps back. Still no top paid tab.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
yeah it wont bring the tab back, but it will make the apps show up...

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] archie53:
Don't know what is going on but I can find both Ridehopper and Fandango and all tabs also appear for me, so it seems the market is fine for me. I'm stock and got my phone on June 2
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't rub it in! J/K

For me, it started way back in the G1 days. I fixed it one time by starting over the root process but with the MTS... root was a huge pain in the ass! It seemed to start with the a2sd. Downloads seem to take forever for the okay or cancel buttons to show up with all the apps permissions, you know that screen that shows up after hitting install or update. Plus the missing top paid tabs. And the other deal is that downloads remain in my download section whether they installed or not (not counting paid for ones obviously). Weird huh? No solution yet.... am done with my perfect Rom personalized and will work on this issue. It has something to do with the gmail account and not the Rom unless you can't find any paid apps by searching. In that case... market enabled app will work for that particular issue. Will report back if I have any luck.....

[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Thanks for finding that, good to see it in writing.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
Well my market started working properly today.

I can see paid apps.

Something changed in the last 3 hours cause I didn't work before 5pm eastern and just did. I changed nothing on my phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
That's good to hear. Can you tell us in detail what your problem was? For example, missing paid apps tab, "installing..." progress bar never disappearing, etc.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
My problem is I couldn't see any protected/drm apps in the market. Anything that installed to app-private (like fandango and ride hopper full). Anyways it seems to be fixed now. I never had missing tabs.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DenominatorX:
I think I found the problem -

The market version built into the master reset is 1712

My wife has a non-rooted non-reset MyTouch Slide and her market version is 1713 (and it works fine)

Is there a way to update the market version on the rooted slide? or get a ROM with the proper Market version?

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market (top right tells the version)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
I think you could be on to something. My version is 1712...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jenol:
Yeah same here I'm on 1712 and all this started since I obtained root
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fenixnr:
I rooted and have tried a few different roms and still have the top paid apps and stuff, and no issues with downloading or installing anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] andrewiz2kewl:
Mine had this problem for a few weeks but it came back! I think google is doing something to fix this problem, it must be your google account. My paid tab just came back and the installing stall has stopped :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreatcity:
Happy to say mine is back to normal!

Anyone who is still experiencing this, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market

Then clear the cache, and force stop it. After that you should be good to go.

When I first clicked it after going through those steps, I got a little pop-up saying (Application not installed) and ironically, I was relieved to see it. A second later, it loaded up, and all was back to normal!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DenominatorX:
well, clearing the cache AND force closing fixed it for me. My version also updated to 1713 after doing that.

Strange
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
Mine already is 1713, I cleared the cache and force quit, and I still don't have the tab, though I do have paid apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jenol:
I didn't have to clear the cache or anything like that I believe google fixed it on there end mine is 1713 and everythings working fine now:)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DaemionIX:
Paid apps tab is back, still on version 1712 tho, interesting
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
Mine is 100% back to normal...and mine is stock.

Anyone else notice that movies are playing in full screen after the update. I really disliked that there wasn't a full screen option in videos. I used rockplayer to make it fullscresn but now there's no need. Another lol thing that came in the update that I like a lot
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
Personally, I prefer mVideoPlayer. It lets you either fill the screen entirely or to the aspect ratio. It also has support for captions and it remembers the brightness you set while watching videos.
[EVO 4G General] EVOmaniac07:
Cool. I'll check that one out. I'm down to try all of them to see what works best for me

I've got a powered GPS cradle for an XDA 2i, which as I no longer have my XDA 2i is surplus to requirements.

[HD2 General] Morbyd:
OK, this is a long shot on getting an answer but I thought it worth a try...

I had to hard reset my phone this week. Now, for reasons unknown to me, I'm having trouble adding currency exchange rates back on to the stock page.

When I type in the standard symbol (eg. for the pound/euro rate it's "GBPEUR=X"), I get the message "Invalid company name or symbol."

I know it's a valid symbol... it worked before and still works on the Yahoo Finance web page (the data source).

Thoughts? Ideas?
