Care to elaborate? Or am i not getting the joke! It's early so might have went over my head....
[EVO 4G General] gobbles23:
Okay first off, I had an EVO 4G, went and got a Droid X and now want EVO back due to using way too many minutes on Verizon. Went today to get everything switched over and nowhere has an EVO around here. Basically my friend found in the desire forums about disabling network time and he tried it on his nexus one with 2.2 CM6 w/ sense and it significantly helped his battery. My buddy and his buddy with the Evo 4G were both going through about 10% an hour even not using it. The Evo 4G guy texted my friend today and said he unplugged his EVO from the wall at 2pm went to work and didn't play with his phone until 7pm. Still had about 80% battery. Went to bed around 12:30 am with 70% and woke up at 9:45 am with 64% battery. It is worth a try for anyone running sense.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] EsVauK:
Hello there,

i would like to acess my home network with my x10 mini. There is a connection to my wireless network and internet connection works fine, but I can´t acess my telephone via PC.

Is there any way to copy files from PC over WLAN to X10 mini?

Maybe any apps?

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
Yup, there are a few.

DavDrive sets up a webdav server on the phone - WinXP can connect to this (I'm not sure if it works on vista/win7) and you can browse your SD card and drag/drop files

Astro has a plugin that'll let you browse windows shares (so you can copy files from your PC directly from the phone)

ES File Explorer can handle windows shares directly, without needing a plugin.

Any others?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
ES File Explorer has worked very well for me for browsing file shares.

I recommend using the WebSharing app for accessing your phone contents via browser through Wifi. Can copy, upload, download, move, delete, rename, etc all through your computer and it's VERY fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagentooboy:
edit: I never did figure out how to backup the original rom. As far as rooting it goes make sure that your phone is in download mode and that you are using a real PC. I am using parallels on a mac and I still have yet to figure out how to get my phone connect to the VM in download mode.

Ok so I just got my galaxy S and I have spent a day and a half searching for the answer to this so if I missed it I am sorry.:)

I can mount the SD card, copy the update.zip (I have tried all of them I could find), reboot into recovery, flash the update.zip, and reboot

When the phone boots back up the superuser.apk is installed, busybox is in the /system/xbin folder but no "su" in the xbin folder.

My phone is an i9000 8GB

Firmware Version 2.1-update1

Baseband version I9000BGJF1

Build Number ECLAIR.BGJF4

I really want to backup the whole system before I flash a new rom.... any ideas on what could be going wrong?

I have a Rogers branded phone that is unlocked and is being used with Fido or a while. Everything works just fine, however I need to tweak the phone so it would stop showing the roaming indication on the desktop, it's always roaming because it sees that I'm on the Fido network and it probably validates against a registry or file somewhere in the file where it says home network = Rogers.
[XPERIA X10 General] mania02:
Hi I thought I just wanted to let you know that your usage doesn't count as roaming... as in your airtimes are always local as long as you are in your local calling area. That's based on the experience with my unlocked HTC dream on telus. Make sure you double check with display though.

On a side note, I'm using an unlocked x10 with telus and it doesn't have a roaming icon.
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
I know that I'm not actually roaming even though that r is showing on top the reception bars in the display panel. I just want to find out if there is a way to get the phone to think that fido is my home network and not Rogers.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
hmm... i'm not sure what 'roaming' means but I bought the phone from Rogers, unlocked it and I'm using it with Fido right now too. I don't seem to have any problem with it. It detects Fido and displays it on my home screen. But I've also rooted the phone too, and I think that rooting process debrands the phone as well. Have you rooted your phone? if you haven't I suggest you do, and you can follow this guide for rooting the phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717949. Hope this helps :)
[XPERIA X10 General] naz78:
Roaming is the r above your reception bars, does it show on your phone? I went ahead and I did the root thing however the r is still there :(
[XPERIA X10 General] bobzero:
Hey you aren't alone with the always roaming issue...The new Bell Telus network seems pretty screwy with this roaming indicator and some unlocked phones, it's not just limited to android either.

My Fuze and another persons TP2 both always show roaming. Stick a Rogers SIM in and roaming is gone.

Here's some threads, no one can figure it out yet

I had this problem before with my unlocked LG COOKIE with a rogers sim. it was always showing up as "ROAMING" but now with the x10, no more problems.. tried same sim on a blackberry, no roamin ether... its wierd
[XPERIA X10 General] Teio:
Well, I had this issue with an T-Mobile branded HTC Dream, unlocked and being used on Three UK, it always shows up as Roaming, what I do is this:

Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Network Operators

Let it check for an network operator, and the choose the correct one from the list, which in your case is Fido.

Hope it helps!

In Android 2.1 I could chose to use my google contacts photo or facebook photo or choose a new photo for anyone in my contacts, but alas now I can't seem to do that anymore. I can change the google contact photo but the facebook photo still supercedes it in the people list and when it comes up during a call.

[Desire General] zetsurin:
As per the title, just wondering if anyone with a HTC Desire here in Japan has debranded their unit? I know the carriers take a bit of a hard line against unofficial phones or phones that have been modified. I'm mainly worried about losing my unlimited data plan - several people who brought Nexus One's over here found the hard way that their data cap wasn't honoured based on the fact that their IMEI wasn't a model that was purchased from the carrier. This is a practise which is illegal in some countries but here in Japan they get away with it!

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else here in Japan has debranded yet?
[General Topics] AidanBell:
I'm one of those people (in the minority, I know, but there are a few of us) who bemoan the passing of "brick" phones and can't understand why everything has to be tiny and then tinier, with keyboards almost too small to operate. I currently use an HTC TP2 because it has the largest and best Qwerty keyboard I could find on any device. I much preferred the size and shape and feel of my beloved old Nokia E90, but what a shame that Nokia seem not to be pursuing the communicator range (the E90 isn't touch screen and there's no sign of a successor on the horizon). Oh well!

I'm due for upgrade in three or four months time and am wondering if anyone can advise me what might be on the horizon for me? My only non-negociable is that it must have a physical Qwerty keyboard as large and functional as possible. I'd also prefer the unit itself to be a decent size (what a shame the HTC Shift isn't a phone!).

Any thoughts, anyone?

Many thanks.

before the time comes along for you to upgrade you may have more choice than what we have or know about now. I would say the Sprint Version of the Galaxy S (Epic 4g) would be one for you to consider.

Hi to all I thought I would post this purely because I am stumped and need some input please:D

I have an x10 i that I have been updating ota without issue for quite a while.I think(but am not sure) that I updated all the way from 16 to 23 or 24 not sure which.My phone is on the giffgaff (O2 subsidiary) network and my updates have always been prompt and ota.I originally bought the phone locked to Orange uk.The phone shows no signs of any branding at all and after a bit of research I couldnt find out how to view the phones CDA.

Anyway back on topic I was prompted at the end of last week that an update was available for my x10i.I had always used ota wifi for update.However the notification this time told me I would need to use seus or se pc companion.So I downloaded seus and attempted to update.All seemed well throughout the process.Until it finished and I checked my phone info to see I was back on R2BA20!?:( I have since tried to debrand and roll back with no success.Everytime I connect seus it tells me that I have the latest software.

Please does anyone have any similar problems or similar input?My phone has never been rooted.I am absolutely stuck with this:mad:
