[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower097:
So I bought a G1 at a really good price the other day. My first android phone. Basically in not so many words this confirmed I'm a wimo guy. So I gave it to my buddy to use. He's coming from a Gravity semi smart phone with the $10 data plan from Tmo. Well at first he plugs in his sim and no problems, he gets full 3G and creates a google account and all is great. He calls me later that night saying he's blocked from the internet now and its saying he needs to upgrade his script to the $25 data plan to use the phone. What wierd is I've seen this before and it always launches Tmo's web2go site saying you need to upgrade. His loads up google fine, can search google, but can't actually goto any other sites. I thought this was wierd but may be tmo give you a full connection for a couple hours to register the phone. So now he's ready to upgrade to the $25 data plan and he says every day it erases his contacts and he has to re import them from his sim card everyday. I'm wondering if the google backup is having something to do with this? Or have anyone else had an issue like this? I do have the full data plan and plan on testing this out this week to see if it happens to me too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
I think with Android Phones it syncs with Google Account and needs a Data Plan to sync contacts..

thats a simple idea, but im sure its not that at all jus an idea
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower097:
That what I'm thinking. I'm figuring he's importing his contacts. It goes to update and merge them to google. Finds google empty or can't contact google, and wipes them all out back to stock. I'm gonna test it myself with my card here soon so If I figure anything out I'll post it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
If he can ask him if he can get on wifi and try to sync with google that way and see if they will stick
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower097:
My test should be fine, he doesn't mind paying the extra money for the smartphone package he's just worried the phones broken. I on the other hand am leaning towards user error, needing a script to get to google, or software error. Which I would imagine I could cure by flashing a new rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
O it would be the same as your test that you want be it wont require you taking out your sim, and putting it in the phone then turning on blah blah... jus quick and fast if it saves it then needs the data to work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower097:
That would be a good idea because I don't like taking out my sim. I've always had great luck with them till this phone. It killed 3 of my cards because it had a locked pin in the simcard port. I finally realized what was happening and jiggled it and it loosened up and fixed it. But I already took back the phone and wiped it so I need a data connection and google account to just boot it again. I'll just trade out my HD2 for a G1 for the week.. :(

j/k I'll give this damn android a fair shot.
[Touch 3G General] buzjay:
Hi, I 'm actually running under Windows Mobile 6.5

[Touch 3G General] osar:
Hi, i'm very interested too for a french version of WM 6.5 for Jade

Anyone else?
[Touch 3G General] adrimaxi:

[HD2 General] federico92:
Hi there... I've been a happy HD2 user until this morning, when my device suddenly stopped connecting to GSM / UMTS network... and the problem is it can't find ANY provider in the area. I've tried with different operator SIMs, but still no success... Obviously I tried to flash the stock rom back, and even to upgrade the radio (now running TMOUS 2.12), without effects... What could I try before contacting the HTC Support??

Thank you and excuse me for my bad English :)
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Yup Yup Yup, I've decided to make a poll on the most debated Topic on here, simply i want to know if all x10 owners here feel the same way like me or not..

And also to give any new comer an idea about the status of the community, so

what do you expect you will see first on your device ?

- Devs here cracking the bootloader and Flashing a 2.2 Rom and giving us freedom to the world of modding. :D

- SE release the 2.1 update at the end of the month - and don't argue about the date pleaseeeeeee, i am sick of it - followed by the 2.2 update early next year which is a lot of time, but we don't have a choice...

you can get an extra point if you explain your opinion bases :D

One More Thing :

For Gods Sake, don't talk about :

- screen color support

- multi***** - you can guess it - :p

- Any other debated topic that have been discussed Zillions of times here Cause it just makes me fall asleep while reading it..

happy voting :)

If you don't know what is the new features you will get by updating.. here are a few from what have been posted here :

Android 2.1 :

- 720p Video recording.

- Live Wallpaper.

- Language support ( Arabic, etc.. )

- BT voice dial ( added 2.1 ? )

- more applications supported in Market ( Twitter, etc.. )

Android 2.2 :

-Have a faster phone, with JIT.

-To have faster web browsing (V8 Javascript engine).

-To be able to run ALL apps.

-To move apps to SD, if needed, to free space.

-To not have pixelated icons and images in apps - I think that this is probably due to the new resources layout - drawable-hdpi, mdpi etc.

- Flash support.

- push support for applications.

- Hotspot Option.

- 5x faster performance.

ehm - about the ( 3.0 ) in the title, its just to make the thread intersting ( don't daydream about it :rolleyes: )
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
Umm here is the problem.

What are the features that make it stand out from one tier to another.

It is basically a movement of numbers to me.

What is the real differences between 1.6 ro 2.1 ?

720 recording, live wallpaper....and what else?

Then from 2.1 to 2.2

....flash support....? what else?

then from 2.2 to the rumored 3.0

No idea, maybe it shoot beams of laser or maybe allow you to call UMA.

Seriously, there are just numbers that is moving around. Things that can live or live without it. I am perfectly fine with 1.6 right now. Sorry, i am a Window XP user with 3 other pc with vista and win 7.

I still like win xp more, it feel a lot solid.

What i do like is SE fix that problem with this "force close" on some random in-bound calls and remove that damn slider.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
More language support ?

believe me , just thinking about the whole applications that require 2.0+ , the push in 2.2 , beside all you just said..

Knowing your phone can do many things it can't do right now cause of a stupid limitation that can be fixed ... some people can't bear that thought - including me - :o
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Also, with 2.1, the X10 can finally connect to WPA wifi networks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Fantastic to meet the only other person on the planet that isn't in a contest to get a higher number on the device ;)

Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is .... fill in the blank.

I stopped the firmware upgrade at 024 since the phone is working "great" now so I don't see any value in an upgrade to 026 +. Unless something worth while is enhanced. Since there's no change log it's a little tough to see what the improvements are.

As to the Android 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 99.9 unless there is true improvement in valid areas I could really not care less. (my personal feeling)

The ONLY feature I'm missing right now is Bluetooth Voice Dial which should have been in the very first release of Android.

2x-5x faster .. don't care, it's already fast. 720p video .... not interested. Hotspot, nope.

If you want and/or need those features then upgrading is great but the X10 pretty much already does what I need with 1.6. (except BT VD)
[XPERIA X10 General] Kondzioz:
OMG, i felt in love with your post... Rly, we used to the updates, no matter what it brings. Diffrence between updates isn't important, the number of it is the main benefit. I think 1,6 of Xperia is rly well rounded. There is few things which should be improved, but it's rather improvement than hugh change. Im sick of reading the next post about how SE rude is waiting with upgrade to 2.1... Im not againts this, but ppl try to let it all hang out, just take a rest of writing next threats, enjoy your great mobile phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] aodmisery:
after 2.2 will android jump all the way too 3.0. or will they be like 2.3 and so on? just curios cause that would mean after 2.2 our phones wont be able to handle 3.0
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
The main benefit of 2.2 over 2.1 is the fact that it is at least twice as quick.. it's damned fast.. That would be my reason for wanting 2.2.. having said that though.. I'm not desperate for it.. my phone runs very well on 1.6..
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
I would love to just have 2.2.

3.0 . . I would never expect to see it unfortunately.
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
I really dont want 2.2 cooked firmware which has even 1 thing not working. I see a lot custom firmwares and there it says "...most of the stuff works" or "Camera not working" etc. I would NEVER put any ROM that is not 100% functional, I would rather use 2.1 that works than 3.0 that has no camera working. I really dont understand that, my last phone was Omnia HD and the man named HyperX is making custom firmwares for that phone, on his ROMs there can only be some extra stuff that are working and which are not in Samsung ROMS but everything else is working, and it is working better than Samsung original ROMs. So I really dont understand this Android ROMs, I always want clean ROM without some default apps and with everything else in it that makes the phone better, necer looking, who doesnt want it, he can easily remove it with Titanium Backup. That is my vision...
[XPERIA X10 General] what would homer do?:
Nice to find other people happy not chasing the numbers ... I thinks Sony did a pretty fine job with 1.6. Looking forward to their version of 2.1, pretty sure they'll do a fine job of it too.

Only thing I'd slightly miffed about is no flash :(
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
I do like the Rachel UI, but an optimized FroYo ROM is better to me than official Eclair. :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] Zaslav:
I don't care about upgrades at all. As already mentioned here I just want flash support and faster speed. The rest to me is pointless, sure 720p recording is cool but the more I think about how often I take videos the more I realize I probably wont take advantage of it. Remember when phones didn't have upgrades? When you bought the phone and used it for 1-2 years plus and it was the same thing the whole time? Those were the days...
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Dalvik JIT and V8 engine..
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
I probably won't use the 720p video recording, but probably the DLNA support.

Although, I know what you mean about the 1 to 2 years usage of phones, without an upgrade. To be honest, this only really happened with the first iPhone, and then in an even more accelerated way, with Android, and as more manufacturers are bringing out more Android phones, it means that they have to work harder to upgrade all of them at the speedy pace Google is moving at, and customize them too.

I just want the latest firmware (2.2+) to:

-Have a faster phone, with JIT.

-To have faster web browsing (V8 Javascript engine), and flash support, so that I don't have to hope that Skyfire will work for me.

-To be able to run ALL apps.

-To move apps to SD, if needed, to free space.

-To not have pixelated icons and images in apps - I think that this is probably due to the new resources layout - drawable-hdpi, mdpi etc.

- Lots more stuff that I can't remember...

BUT, I think we'll get 2.1 from SE before the custom bootloader/SPL is (nearly) bug-free, and can be flashed easily and safely. Hopefully, I'm wrong, and we'll have Froyo on our X10's by next week!

But the main problem I have, which is a bit off-topic, is that:

Will SE patch the root exploits when 2.1 is released, or even upgrade the bootloader, (or radio), without us knowing, to stop all progress completely - like Sony did, and still does, with the PSP?
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Logical fallacy.

If a supposed 3.0 update contained "X", "Y" and "Z", but got changed to version 2.3 with "X", "Y", and "Z", the phone could theoretically run it because the version number is lower?

Think before you type. A larger number means absolutely nothing in terms of whether the phone could handle it.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Most likely yes.

And i find it normal as is a security flaw in the phone.

So, don't do any SEUS/OTA/Companion upgrades :) if you want to keep root.
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
he probably heard that "minimum" requirements for Gingerbread..
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Don't Daydream ? thats what i was afraid of :p

i totally agree with you, but i've also seen some custom ones that work 100%, take the CM for example, i saw one myself that was very stable and working for normal daily use..

i think people who buy same phones think alike lol :cool:

i think if we upgrade to 2.1, we will be able to Flash-Back to 1.6 with the tools present atm ?

note,

i aggregated the info you guys put in the 1# post so if any1 new to x10 or android sees the thread can understand a bit :D

i don't want it to be a poll-chitchat thread that have no point at all, that would be waste of space :p
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Oh yeah, those fake ones that Google already said were full of lies?
[XPERIA X10 General] istyle1129:
Just wondering, why can't your X10 connect to WPA? My X10i connects to WPA2 perfectly fine.
[XPERIA X10 General] vhicke:
i would be happy with anything .....I have a phone that is like a Porsche but has no engine.......:confused::confused::eek: SONY
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Yup, can confirm, my X10 connects to both WPA and WPA2 in this household :) And so did my G1 :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I've got an even better one. I can connect with Android to my WPA router as long as I'm not running Linux on it. Not dd-wrt, open-wrt or even stock. If it's VxWorks it works fine but for some reason Android refuses to connect to anything running Linux.

Kind of typical really. :/
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
I voted for the DEV, SE has been an ASS to its consumers by purposly making stupid decisions regarding the X10. I have been emailing and ranting on their "consumer blog" about the call quality and the low headset volume. There has been several updates since the launch and NONE deal with the CALL QUALITY. They are focused on MediaScape and TimeScape too much and they will continue to at this rate. I guess thats why we have all these late updates and stuff.

Its a PHONE first then a multimedia device.

Also connection to WPA2 ENTERPRISE AKA University WiFi would be nice
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Did you ever stop to think that you're not the only person on earth? That companies didn't make products specifically for you?

Also, did you stop to think that this so called "low headset volume" "problem" could be a kernal thing, and not a quick fix?

So far, no promise has been broken by SE and nothing has been overpromised.

Lastly, have you ever used the phone? In "Security" for Wifi, WPA2-EAP is clearly one of the options on the list. Am I missing something? Are you looking for the option that says "Glory Hole"?
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
The start was bad by sony.. They never stuck to their initial launch date..
[XPERIA X10 General] NiJunge:
The One major thing Im looking very much forward to in 2.1 or 2.2 versus 1.6 is the BT support.

So that I can get applications that use external BT devices to work on the X10 and not envy my friends with desire anymore :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] fauge:
I have no problems connecting to dd-wrt using wpa from my x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well I can use Wifi at home, I had to change it to WEP(least secure) but the network at work is WPA2 and I asked IT and they said that Android 1.6 doesn't support WPA2 :(
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
This is really weird. I've used perhaps four or five different routers over the past two years and the non-linux one is the only one that works. The phones have been HTC Dream, HTC Magic, HTC Hero, HTC Desire and now the X10. All those have had problems connecting to all but the latest router. I've had no problems with iPhone, HTC Diamond or HTC Touch HD.

It's really odd, I know. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
That's quite fun, because I also use WPA2 ( TKIP / AES ) at Home and my phone has no issue connecting to it.
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
Sony Ericcson is a reputable cell phone company that made alot of great headsets(walkman, cybershot) and was an innovator (blue-tooth). For a company like that to execute its flagship model with out of date software and some bugs is pretty lame.

You say that low headset volume is a kernal issue, so didn't they test it out before they released it. And we all know that the real headset volume is decent, check it out in the test menu.

I have used the phone, i don't know what phone your using but the phone doesn't have support WPA2-Enterprise, no PEAP. I thought I was the only one but many others have the same issue. So i dont know what phone your using. If you are right why don't you make a tutorial or something.

Lastly what do you mean by Glory Hole?

What I would like to see in the new update--Better Email functions like "select all", "mark all", "delete from server", etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
2.2 is damned fast compared to 2.1???? Is it really? because when I had my nexus one I was so pumped about this froyo update....guess what...when I got it I didn't notice a damn thing except a few new features. I sold my nexus because I was sick and bored of it and froyo was no different than 2.1.

I love the x10, it fits my needs much nicer than the nexus one. The only thing Im hoping for is either 2.1 or something sort of update fixes the lag within the phone. Other than that, its perfect and thats only 1.6 coming from froyo.
[XPERIA X10 General] htc fan89:
Only thing that 2. 1 brings is webkit 3. 1 and live wallpaper, rest doesn't matter LOL

[Vibrant General] infamouz421:
I really want the Vibrant but I don't want to get the $30 required data plan as I'm almost always connected to Wifi wherever I am. Does unlocking the phone mean that I don't need the data plan and I can stay on T-Mobile? I was wondering that if I buy the Vibrant(not from T-mobile) as an upgrade(I'm on a family plan) but without the data plan will I be able to unlock it. Or should I buy the Vibrant from eBay and then call T-Mobile for the unlock code. Also, when calling for the unlock code, would I just call T-Mobile and tell them I want the code?
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Dude if you have T-Mobile you can use the phone without the data plan. Unless your on another carrier you will need it. An unlock code does nothing but allow other carriers to use the phone that's locked to t-mobile or ATT
[Vibrant General] infamouz421:
I had the HD2 before and when I bought it from Costco Wireless without data they added the $30 data plan automatically. How can I get the Vibrant w/ out the data?
[Vibrant General] oDeACoNo:
Buy the phone full price w/out contract. That is your best bet IMO. They may still push you to get the data plan but if you contact Cust Loyality you might be able to get around it.

Another option would be to buy the phone w/ a new Even more plus plan that doesn't require a contract then cancel the plan an then take your SIM outta your current phone on your other line and put it into the Vibrant.

Still not sure if TMo will force you to have some kinda data plan based on what the IMEI is of the phone. I know other carriers have done this, but not sure on what TMo's policy is.
[Vibrant General] infamouz421:
Thanks for the advice. I'm probably gonna end up going with the first option.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
I bought mine w/o contract.

Just tell them you're buying just the phone, and you don't want a plan/SIM.

FYI: the Vibrant does not work on Web2Go or T-Zones plans.(trust me, I had one b4)

;)
[Vibrant General] alynch75:
You can buy the phone on ebay or craigslist or get it at full price.... just tell them to block all data... just realize that you will no longer have picture messages or mms.. but you will keep text messaging.. .make sure they block it because if not and you accidently get on the mobile web you will pay big bucks
[HD Mini General] John_McC:
Hi all is there a tweak/hack to turn off the sent text sound ? there was a tweak on my last phone (zest). Cheers John
[HD Mini General] thebull:
I don't know about a tweak/hack but it doesn't do it in the latest ROM (1.36). Try flashing that. It used to annoy me as well!
[HD Mini General] Rade80:
You can flash a custom ROM to get rid of it, i use Tom's ROM and don't have that sound.
[HD Mini General] Rankle:
to turn off your sent text sound, just go in to your sound settings....

ive set mine to:

>make sound when text fails to send

>vibrate when i get a new text

>silent when texts are sent

unless i have the wrong idea here

Hi All

I've heard that our HD2/Leo can read out text messages over bluetooth but I can't seem to find any information on this. Can anyone help? I have done a forum search but turned up nothing :-(

My car system has the ability to access the text messages and read them out but it says the current phone doesn't support it.

Thanks!

But this doesn´t work with windows mobile devices. Even with an WM6.5 ROM on my HD it doesn´t work . I will wonder if the HD2 is now working. I suggest its an windows fault....:(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theresthatguy:
I'm trying to add JIT to a custom rom based off of .5 Ruu (which i get from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681697)

I've using the JIT lib files from pretty much every source I could find here on this forum. I have added to 2 lines to the build.prop file.

Phone boots up to lock screen then continuously boot loops. Ah, curious as to what I'm missing here to get this working?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Go to the zenherofx rom thread. Go to second post. Dl the jit.zip and use that. U can replace the build.prop with urs as long as it has the lines added. U might want to take the gebiewidget out unless u want it. That works for sure. Or go to either of my two roms and take one of the jit.zip files there. Replace build.prop. resign and flash. Ur probably just missing the correct update script.

Also don't add it to a rom cause it needs a lot of memory for first start up and it wont start correctly if it starts within a rom.

Flash the rom let it boot then flash the jit.zip
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theresthatguy:
I suppose my question is half answered but still a tad confused. BTW this is a rom i'm building not just trying to add jit from a flash but include in base rom.

I gather from what you you're saying JIT cannot be a part of the base rom because it needs to much memory at initial startup.

If that is the case how did you include JIT in your blue echo rom? Kind of confused on this whole matter. Do you have the lib files for jit included in your rom but have a line somewhere that stops it from enable?
