Insider news

An insider news

Message:- SE will update all its xperia devices with 2.x ( can be froyo because they delayed it a month more because all the flagship phones of other companies are already 2.2) between October 20-27th .

HANG ON :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gilfredpaul@gmail.com:
we can't expect these kind of service from SE...let they update 2.1 without further delay
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
Delay is for sure , hope they give us a better JIT enabled ROM and btw where the hell are custom ROM's? nobody working towards that?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] IammenotyoU:
I agree it would be nice if they updated early. Yesterday we went into T-mobile Hungary due to my wife's x10 mini pro suffering from extreme lag, and they refreshed the software on it, but the guy said it will be a slightly different version. That peaked my curiosity, then he said it's still 1.6 just a newer build than what was shipped with the phones. He also mentioned that 2.x is coming before Christmas, but they expect it near the end of October.

So just a tip, if anyone is experiencing lag, and is under warranty, consider asking for a refresh on the phone. Wife said she noticed one or two minor changes, but mainly its a lot quicker than before. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
I will believe that when I see it.

No offence to you, but with SE promising Eclair in September, and then said October, and SE France and Brail saying November, Im not holding out for a date/month any more
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
As for the ROMs, theres not point in creating them if theres no way we cant use them on our phones now is there? ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sdroamt:
santa claus, here next to me, is telling me you are right! He spoke directly with SE CEO who confirmed it will be 2.2 ! :rolleyes: ;)

bye

Does anyone know of a good application that will allow you to keep track of assignments, classes, instructors, etc?

Hopefully something similar to Student Buddy for BlackBerry. I would post a link, but I can't because I have a new account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreXDA952:
I use Student Agenda for Android

I used Student Agenda app for Android! I used it in the School and at the college. It is a very good app to make student life easier. For remember homework, tests, etc... :)

[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
I've had the captivate about 24 hours now and dig it. I've rooted it and remove the att bloatware (per titanium backup), I've also performed a backup using Rom Manager.

I'm having trouble getting it up and running on an enterprise wireless what uses 802.1x PEAP authentication. I can get through all the auth. steps, and the device is assigned an IP, but I am unable to do anything that requires an internet connection; browser, market, etc.

Has anyone else ran into this issue?

*****EDIT*****

sigh i just realized that this is in the wrong area, it should have been over in development...i'm an idiot
[Captivate Android Development] magicdanw:
I had a similar problem on a WEP-encrypted network, which I fixed by setting a static IP on the phone and then setting it back to DHCP (the correct setting). However, your problem could be entirely different than mine (not that I even am sure what my problem was, just that I fixed it!)

Best of luck!
[Captivate Android Development] jhannaman82:
Having the same problem on enterprise access points regardless of encryption. Home wifi netwroks work great (open and WPA2). Enterprise APs (open and WEP) connect and give me an IP, but will not transfer data. Think its a driver issue with the Wifi, it happens on every captivate ive tested, and seems to be more widespread than the GPS issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Pmac25:
I have had the same issue with my work at work. I can get it to connect and get a ip but can not pass any data.
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
Had the same problem at work. Luckily I'm an admin and figured mine out. Our monowall portal was the issue. I can give a detailed answer for my problem tomorrow when I get to work.

I actually had the cap wiped to go back, then I literally figured out the problem. Thanks go out to my team mate for helping me talk through this.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
can't wait to hear what your fix was!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
This sounds more like your network not being allowing your device rather then the device having an issue.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
it's been frustrating as I know two other guys with android devices that didn't have an issue. one is a droid eris running 2.1 and the other is a nexus one running 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] jhannaman82:
Worked closely with my highly experienced network admin in my dept. for an afternoon (we had some time to kill). He checked the firewall and dhcp servers, ran packet traces, etc.

With what I'm experiencing, its the device. These wifi networks we use with Cisco APs are completely wide-open. All other phones and mobile devices have always worked great for years. We rely on this network for many custom applications and mobile tools.

Once the dhcp server leases an address, it seems like the radio stack hangs, and the device ceases communication. Here's an older thread on the exact issue over at androidfouroms: http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/130403-wifi-terrible.html

I have tested multiple new unmodified captivates and the issue is identical accross the board.
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
Now that I am at work, and have coffee in me and not beer, I will go through the problem I had with miCap and works wireless. Due to my skeptical ways, I will be semi vague for security purposes. On with it.

When I originally got miCap (pet name for it) I was able to access our public wifi. It allowed me into the public portal to agree to terms. I played a little bit on it, but wanted to see if I could access our private wifi. I got in the private no problem. But after that I never was able to get back on to our public. It did the same thing as I've read. It got an ip no problem (via dhcp) and acted like all was well. No browser, or ap could get a connection. The phone would not switch over to 3g to get info.

Armed with ip and mac address, my co-worker and I started to did through our monowall. ( He also has a cap that had no issues on public or private). We try tried reserving the ip for miCap, didn't work. We tried static ip, didn't work. I spent the morning completely wiping miCap to get it back to return worthy.

This was when I decided on last ditch effort.

Our ap's are cisco's that connect into monowall. I got into monowall and dug around. I found that with in the captive portal (how fitting) that the ip/mac associated with my phone hadn't checked in for 8 days. Even though I tried everyday. I deleted the entry to the phone there and suddenly my phone was getting access again.

Now I understand that this may not help everyone, because setups vary from place to place. But digging deeper into configurations at the access points may be what is needed. Do I think the phone had nothing to do with it? No, I think it helped aggravate the problem.

We have had problems with the Intel 3945abg chipsets with the same exact setup. That problem was fixed with driver updates on the laptops.

sorry for the long winded reply.
[Captivate Android Development] Pmac25:
So in a nut shell you deleted the DNS entry for that ip/mac in the firewall and you are working.
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
Essentially yes. But it is not listed like that in the portal. Hmmm. I wonder about the combo of dhcp/dns being the culprit.
[Captivate Android Development] jhannaman82:
I was able to resolve this issue by changing my connection settings from DHCP to static for the Cisco APs.

Installing WiFi Buddy from the market allowed me to access these connection settings.

I just used an address from our static IP pool.

Manually set IP, subnet, gateway, and DNS, and now im finally rolling on our enterprise wifi network :)
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
I sent a help ticket into samsung; maybe if enough folks do we can get it on their radar.
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
you can set the ip manually with out an app. When on the wifi screen, hit menu-advanced. This is a good time to set the wi-fi sleep policy also.
[Captivate Android Development] jhannaman82:
Thanks for that, i figured the menu was built in somewhere just never found it.

:thumbsup:
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
UPDATE

So I flashed the i9000 Eclair rom last night, and when I got into work today I can connect and use the wifi here. So looks like something AT&T buggered up, big surprise there, when they "customized" the captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Shadow77895:
As much as I normally love blaming AT&T for problems, that can't be done here. My Captivate (running Stock Firmware) connects just fine to my work network. We use 802.1x with PEAP/MSCHAPv2 for authentication.
[Captivate Android Development] mfriedman79:
Anyone been able to connect at over 802.11b speeds while connected to an 802.1x network? I show connections at G and N speeds on my WPA2 network but nothing over 11Mbps on 802.1x.
[Captivate Android Development] sevimli:
Hi,

I am also having problems with my work wifi network.

It is 802.1x, on TTLS/PAP it also requires a thawte premium server ca certificate insalled.

Is there any way to connect this kind of networks?

With my previous iphone 3g it was taking only 4-5 seconds. :o :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
I'm in the same boat. It's really frustrating. :mad:

The static ip solution works but is there a new permanent fix for this issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] efgee:
Hi, I'm a little confused and will try to explain.

Today I went to my provider shop and added a 2 month trial for surfing on the 3g (or edge, or whatever is available).

Now I see that

sometimes

"E" or "G" on the display and two arrows.

Then they dissapear and a little time later it's there again.

On the manual I see that it means downloading and uploading, but my browser is not active and I didn't make connection myself.

What I see is that since I added the trial, the "MMS and data" is checkmarked.

When I unmark it, the "E" or "G" network is no longer showing.

Now finally my question: am I (when it is marked) connected to the network, or only when I start the browser?

Or is one or more apps running in the background retrieving/sending data and so consuming my up or download?

Hope someone can explain a little.

Regards,

Francis.

Btw: I searched on the forum but couldn't find some explanation
[XPERIA X10 General] azian_advanced:
as long as you see E (EDGE) or G (GPRS) you ARE connected on the network, but not necessarily are you downloading or uploading data. when the up and down arrows light up, data is being transferred to and from the phone. even if the browser is closed, data transfer can still occur since Android uses the internet to download information for e-mails, updates, and other info. you need to uncheck MMS & data if you want to completely turn off your data connection.
[XPERIA X10 General] efgee:
Ok, thanks, well explained.

It was what I was thinking. I will keep it off until I want to connect.

Guess the download limit would be reached without knowing and is also battery consuming.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Phromik:
I was playing around in about:debug in the default browser, and I know I should have backed it up first, but it slipped my mind. Now it force closes when I try to open it. So I was wondering if there is some way to reset it, or if anyone has the apk so I can just replace mine. Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
the apk is in the system dump posted by wes garner

You can also try this if you root:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derik123derik123:
With the update coming soon (Here) What do you think would be the best course of action to be? I wanna maintain root. But i wanna go back to stock(with the new update)

?

thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddaBelly:
Wow that's some big new. I'm sure all the devs would love to get a copy of it. I will for sure get it for my wife's evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I'm using Fresh 0.5.3 and want to know if I can just update to Froyo. I don't care about losing root since I know it will eventually be rooted again. Will I be able to update over my existing ROM. I don't care about having to reinstall my apps.

Sent from my Supersonic
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorComrade:
Relevant to me as well. Running rooted stock rom for the Evo. Still haven't done any of the OTA updates. So if I do all of the OTA updates I missed to get to the 2.2 update, what will happen? Just remove root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
If you want to maintin root just wait for the developers to incorporate the update into their ROM's same as with the last OTA Update. Also, no one said it will definitely "break" root. Just a good possibility. So be on the safe side if you don't want to loose root... "be patient". :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derik123derik123:
Okay, well how about answering my questions first :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nk1yn:
I'll update as soon as it hits, Use it until I get home, clear the storage, do a nandroid backup then runs that through a kitchen and flash it back to the phone.

Not terribly clean but effective. If it works. Probably won't since I'm sure the update will wipe the recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derik123derik123:
So, I guess I'll wait for fresh evo to be updated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
A dev will release a version of 2.2 that has the *$#& that messes up root access pulled out and superuser patched in. Likely this will be down within hours of release, at the very least a couple of days.

All you'll need to do when the rooted version of Froyo is out is to wipe and flash. Just make sure you don't flash the un-rooted stock version that is likely to be floating around.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddlou:
I frankly don't see anything near good enough (from the leaks) for me to lose everything I get from CM6. I'm sure after a few days, CM6 and the other great roms out there will be updated with the good parts of the update. Until then, no updates for me!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derik123derik123:
Well I'm running cm6 latest nightly. I'll probably do the fresh then when cm6 is updated I'll go there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
A cleaned out Froyo much like DC 3.2.3 will be better than CM6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddlou:
maybe it will, maybe it won't. Either way, I can wait until a rooted version is ready to try it. :)
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Hello guys,

Question, I remembered that on my G1, anything I downloaded went straight to my SD card. I would assume because there was no internal storage.

But on the Vibrant it saves it to the download folder in the internal storage. Is there a way to save media downloaded from my phone to the external SD? For example, pics attached to emails are automatically saved to the internal storage.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BluSkye218:
Hi, I really don't like the look of the text message threads the way it comes on the Tilt 2 (you know, the white background with a green underlined From text & then the message text)... and I've seen other phones that make them look a lot nicer with 3D-ish boxes around each message & alternating colors between messages & so forth....

Does anyone know of any Mods, Hacks, Tweaks, Cabs, Custom Settings, that you can either edit the way it looks yourself or download a pre-made custom look for the text messages & text message threads? What would be even cooler would be if beside each text it would have a little picture of the person if you had one associated with that number in the stored Contacts. Thanks!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BluSkye218:
I'm sure someone's had to have seen/found something out there about this. If I just missed a previous discussion on it, would someone mind posting a link to that thread? Thanks!

[Vibrant General] abhiku:
Coming from iphone to Android, I have few qns:)

1. Can I sync. contacts from outlook to Vibrant? I keep all my contacts updates at one place - Outlook.

2. Numeric pass code - Can I set passcode/pin with 4 digit so that it asks for same when unlocking the phone?

3. Battery %age indicator on top navigation bar- Can I change battery indicator to show %age left along with it?

I'm sure there will be more qns. as I migrate from iphone4.0 to Android. I do like iphone but it's paid by company and I'm keeping Vibrant for my personal line.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
yes

yes

yes
[Vibrant General] abhiku:
Cool, how do I setup these things then?
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
my first instinc is to shout RTFM at the top of my lungs.. but here goes....

outlook email-- open up the app in the app drawer named "Email". first screen is the setup screen...

4 pin pass-- press- MENU, Settings, Location and Security, Set up SIM card lock..

Power % indicator-- there are multiple power widgets on the market that do this.. (most are free)
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
You can sync outlook with gmail. You should also be able to do the same with your contacts, just google it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pestbeule:
Hey... This app sounds great. Would it be possible to choose between amazon.co.uk and .de ? Should be easy to implement in your app. just a variable with the .tld inside. what do you think. with this trick you can use your app all around the world.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Yeah, that'll be in the next version. I just wanted to get this version out as quickly as possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Yay, front page again!

Just to clarify:

Currently, you can only see the average rating and number of reviews, but not the actual reviews - this will be added in a future version

Also, only Amazon.com prices are checked - future versions will check other online stores/resources as well as allow you to enter prices found in the field.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hatefly:
This looks great.

You mentioned that it will be able to use other sites. Would it be possible to have the ability to manually add a site or a location for search? I'm thinking, in the U.S., most people would use it for electronics, toys, etc.

The sites I'm thinking of are:

Wally World (ugh...)

Target

BestBuy

TigerDirect

NewEgg

Toys'R'Us

Fry's Electronics

B&H Photo

Adorama
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
The main issue with adding sites is whether or not they have an API for me to query them. I want to avoid having to parse HTML in order to search and find items. So unfortunately I can't make it so that anybody can plug in any search site.

However, I could provide a list of common search sites, and then launch that URL with the barcode, which would then open in your default browser.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hatefly:
Ah, I think that would actually be better. I think it would be nicer to get the list of the site you wanted to look at and then just check that. Sometimes you may not want to deal with online shopping, and may just want to check your local stores.

That sounds good man, keep up the great work!!

This app is totally cool. I snapped a shot of my Windex bottles barcode and it knew what it was instantly. Lol..... A bottle of Windex appeared on the Amazon screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dhomas:
Looks like a great app, but it does not work properly on my HTC TyTN II. When I try to recognize a barcode, it launches the camera but never does anything with the captured barcodes. Am I doing something wrong? I am using WM 6.5.1. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ninjabortion:
awesome, works great on my touch pro 2 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
AmazonIt! launches the device's built-in camera dialog. Take the picture as normal, then hit the back/close/ok button or close the camera dialog. AmazonIt! will then try and detect the barcode. If it can't detect it, it will ask if you want to retry - if it does detect it, then it will add that item to the list and attempt to retrieve product information from Amazon.com.

If the application does not behave as I just described, then that's a bug, so please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lovingHDTV:
Would it be possible for AmazonIt delete the photo when it is done? I was surprised to see all the UPC photos remaining on the phone when I was done.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Heh I had that in there at one point, and somehow lost that capability during refactoring. It'll be fixed in 1.1 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louger20:
I noticed in using AmazonIt that when I took the picture in landscape AI did not work, but when I took the picture in portrait AI worked just fine. Thought my experience might be helpful for others. I am using a TP2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
bump for new version!

see original post for changes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neo0815:
i'm having a problem with the new version :/

when starting a new barcode scan, it launches the camera app, then it instantly closes the cam, then bringing an error, that it was unable to detect the barcode...

i wasn't able to try to scan it..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slickeric:
V1.1 UK support

Hi, just thought i would try V1.1 now you have UK support. Love the idea, but I just tried 5 different barcodes, all returned no information, but if I search on Amazon, all barcodes return results. An example is 5039036043885 - Avatar DVD.

Cheers Andy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Thanks for reporting that bug - what OS / device do you have?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Sorry, server issues. Try it again, it should work now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slickeric:
, yep that fixed. I'll go try it on a few more items. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
How is it working for everybody? I've tried to make it more user-friendly than the previous version.
