With the Galaxy S listing for $499.99 CDN, Rogers had better get on SE for the real update, or expect a price cut on the X10.

As much as I dislike the Galaxy S' exterior design, the specs (and OS) are killer.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'm curious. How recently did the presentation take place? The original plan was for 2.1 in Q4 but it was pushed ahead to Q3 in June/July. Is there a chance the presentation happened before or after the changed schedule?

Edit: Yep, September "onwards" for the civilized world and late Q3-early Q4 onwards for the US. Damn those progressive rollouts, always confusing stuff. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Lots of rumours flying around that the X10 is about to land on AT&T in the US...I can't imagine them actually launching this premium phone with 1.6 in the US especially after all the recent updates to 2.2 for all the highend Android devices (less the Galaxy line). SE would have to be out of their minds to pull a stunt like that. Here's hoping they aren't THAT incompetent and just finalizing a 2.1 release ready for the launch of the X10 on AT&T in the coming weeks. :D

[XPERIA X10 General] alitech:
No one has actually answered my questions. Whats so special about this new software update? I dont see any difference at all. Its still 1.6. No improvement on battery life and no real update worth all this hype.

faster performance?
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
Having recently come from the Nexus One & Froyo I must say over all I'm liking the X10 a lot better. Sure it's 1.6 but I think it's fine compared to 2.2 which I found to be overall not that great. The grass is always greener on the other side I guess, but having come from the other side IMO the X10 isn't missing much.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Btw I don't think North America is getting the R2BA026 firmware update... apparently it was mainly to fix the PlayNow crashing issue, among other minor fixes, and since Rogers conveniently decided to remove that app, it won't need to release this update.

2.1 soon *fingers crossed*

@Izzy

It sounds like he asked why we're so excited about minor firmware updates, they're still Donut (1.6) and in his opinion doesn't show many changes.

@alitech

The most common things added are bugfixes. Sometimes the updates tweaks the built-in apps while other times they change some hardcoded settings. Many of these things you don't notice as an end user but they can still be important. It can change anything from rare crashes in Timescape to issues with some brands of SD cards and for me the update from 020 to 026 fixed my battery issues. So in all there are plenty of things to be excited about and reasons to upgrade. :)

Sorry, I read the word software and thought he was talking about software :)

As to the firmware, I saw better battery life from 016 to 023, never used 020.

[HTC Aria General] mr72:
I have a Jabra BT3030 stereo bluetooth headset. Set it up with the Aria yesterday, and it's working like a champ now, but not without some hassle.

First my question. I can't seem to figure out how to answer the phone or make calls with this headset. Sometimes the sound is in the headset, sometimes it's in the handset. I can't seem to find the pattern. Before I go run a bunch of tests and try and figure it out, I figured maybe I am doing something wrong so I thought I'd ask. How can I consistently get the sound in the bluetooth headset?

It seems to be a common issue about using a stereo bluetooth headset such as the BT3030 with Android phones, but not commonly answered in the forums. So here's a little FYI. It took about 10 tries to get the headset to be "connected". It discovered it and paired easily, but then just constantly said "disconnected" until about the 10th try. Once it connected once, then it would always connect and reconnect even after phone reboots or power cycling the BT3030. So if you are trying to set one of these up, don't give up on the first try.

After it first became "connected", it would not do anything but phone sound through the headset. It said it was "connected for phone and media" or whatever, but would not play media sounds, and the remote controls didn't work. Once I made a phone call with the headset, it magically started to play media sounds through the headset, but the controls still didn't work. Once I fooled with it for a while, rebooted the phone, on/off the headset, restarted the music app, etc., eventually it started working fully including the controls.

So the answer is, this headset WILL work in stereo for both media and phone sounds as well as full remote control including answering the phone from the remote, but it does take some monkeying with it so don't give up.

Hi Folks,

I recently got my HD2 and started cooking roms for it.

Now i know i need a x.x.x.x.50 radio to unlock the 576mb and a oem base that supports it.

My question is what base do you guys use?

I tried the 3.04 and the 2.10 oemdrivers and noticed that the 3.04 has a bit more free ram on the first boot.

Also the 2.10 is showing some weird behaviour. For example when i get a incoming call and i press the volume down to mute the ringtone it starts making a dailtone sound which seems to stick untill i soft reset:confused:

What do you folks reckon?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Did you already read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692379

[Windows Mobile] Mikenif:
Thanks for the tip mate

Ive now created a 1.66 oemxip with a 2.14 nk.exe and im using the 3.04 oemdrivers.

The topic also mentions replacing ddi.dll, but since 3.04 doesnt have that onscreen branding like 3.02 has. i figured i dont have to replace that one.

Now im wondering if its tmous compatible. Ive seen some Leo ROM-topics mention its tmous compatible.

Does that mean it has the 576 unlocked or do i need to use the tmous roms oemdrivers to make it compatible?

That indeed makes it tmous compatible.

Guess since im only cooking dutch and there are no dutch tmous phones im good with releasing a 3.04 based rom:D

I have a buddy that has the Nexus 1 and after he installed 2.2, his LED light would change for different notifications like,

Blue LED = Handcent Message

Purple LED = Craiglist Post

etc.....

Is this something that is implemented inside our version of Froyo?? OR is that even possible on our EVO's
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprink0281:
Wouldn't the led's have to be physically changed to have the different colors? AFAIK our evos only have a red and a green led installed. I guess its possible I could be wrong but I don't think so....although it has happened before....hehe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
Not necessarily. I would imagine it could be changed, unless there are 7 or so LEDs in the N1.

P.S. John Denks sucks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puma81:
Thats correct. Evo's only LED colors are amber and green.

Also, I believe these sort of questions belong in the Q&A section. Just a heads up for next time ;)

EDIT: See here for details on LED Swap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprink0281:
I don't think software or firmware can determine the color of an led....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
You only need red,blue, green to make all the colors imaginable...since our phone only has amber and green, then theoretically we can combine those colors to make more...unfortunately, what colors could those be?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gx1400:
theoretically true IF you could realistically vary the intensity of the LEDs, but one LEDs are not generally that readily variable and two, they are most likely connected to digital outputs so they are either Off or On.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprink0281:
Will not work that way. They are individual parts and on the evo the green is angled to the left. And the amber is angled to the right...so even if you could turn them on at the same time they would not be focused to one point to blend into a different color. Give up can't be done! Unless you swap out the leds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbolot1:
What about varying the duty cycle of the leds, theoretically that whould result in a color blend even though leds are angled.

However, there aren't many colors that could be created by mixing green and amber. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnordelus:
Interesting

On my nexus the led only blinked white, and many people challenged whether or not it can be done, but eventually there was a mod released allowing to choose between any color I wanted to track ball to glow.

But if the LEDs are in different places like stated above then I think it would be more of a challenge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hved999:
from what i have noticed with my evo. the way the LED light is set up is: A electric current flows one way to emit a green light, or it flows the opposite way to emit the amber color. This is something I have learned in a circuits class and seems logical that it would work this way. I dont think with this situation having different colored LEDs will work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbolot1:
Have you tested this? A typical led is a diode where current can only flow one way, and based on the fact that the leds are displaced, it appears that there are 2 leds.

Additionally, even if only one led could be on at one time, alternating the emission while controlling duty cycle could create an effect of mixed color.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woofermazing:
Most likely it's two leds built together. White leds can be made the same way, with a red, green, and blue diode built together. When all three are on, the color will look white.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiphon:
On CyanogenMod 6 (8/4 nightly build), the LED alternates orange and green for text messages and just orange for email and other notifications.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merak69:
There are bi-color LEDs that only have 2 leads. Internally they have 2 LEDs wired in an inverse parallel configuration. You apply power one way, green... Apply power the other, yellow.

A better scenario is if the EVO has a tri-color LED (uses 3 leads), which means one set = Red, other set = Green, both sets = Yellow.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disciple1912:
Ok so I'm quite sure that she's a goner. Last night I left the phone on charge and this morning I woke up and found her hot all over (no pun), opened her up and found the battery to be really hot and the screen was off. I thought that it was just android acting up.

So, remove the battery and popped it back in w/ the ac adapter plugged and contacts on battery noted as correct-the phone would turn on and I would get as far as the Tmobile logo and displaying my rom information (RGD display, the screen with the rom info and numbers on the bottom left corner) and other stuff. I noted right away that charging light no longer comes on and when I remove the ac adapter from the phone whatever is on the screen will not display (battery depleted or charging port/mechanism no longer functions, is my guess).

I'm able to hold the vol down button and power button, so I went ahead and put my radio as 2.08.50.05**, it was 2.10.50.19_2 with using the Miri Max elegencia rom.

If all else fails I guess I'll have to send it in for repairs, please let me know what I should do in order to avoid an issue with HTC tech team, or how to put the phone back to its original (non-hspl) settings.

Currently my phone displays at the bottom left corner:

I know there is a build in feature in WM but there the user must define

his own password. I want to configure the PIN code by my own.

I have already tested:

2) keybd_event with VK_KEYLOCK which shows the standard lock screen from WM

3) SHDeviceLockAndPrompt

4) RegisterHotKey function with undocumented UnregisterFunc1 function

to disabled the hardware buttons.
