[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robertouk:
same here

I have same experience. damn annoying after having the crack problems on my xperia x1. Seems to be same cheap toy build quality on x10.

creaks seem to be around the charger area on cover. checked some in local 3 and o2 store and looks much tighter than mine.

hope to see some covers on ebay.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
same problem, vodafone ES branded mini pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adistroyer:
It's the same for my Mini Pro. Thanks for posting, I was wandering about the same thing.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomereitan:
+1 very annoying.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
Mine too... very annoying (Mini Pro)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ts113294:
That's common problem, mine x10mini pro producing the same annoying sound... I'm wondering if I change the back cover with replacement from ebay what would happen. I'm looking for solution or ideas to fix this issue.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomereitan:
i don't know if the eBay replacement will work but with x10 mini iv'e got two back covers (white and pink) today i tried to replace the creaky white one with the pink one and it stopped creaking. to bad pink isn't really my favorite color...

i'm planing on buying thew eBay replacement in a few days, if anyone have any experience with it please let me know...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thephoenixrising:
I solved the cracking by putting a small piece of paper between the battery and the cover. This way the small void space was filled and the sound stopped.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomereitan:
Placing a piece of paper did the job. Thanks for the tip!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ts113294:
Cool, the paper does the job:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mx5_white:
My SE Mini with black cover also makes creeking sounds when holding, it is very annoying. It makes more sounds when phone is warmer, for example after holding it in hand or in pocket. I put the included silver cover on and it makes no sounds anymore. When i compare both covers I notice that the silver one is more stiff then the black one. This explains more sounds.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ak-a:
Take care putting any metal stuff inside the case as it affects the compass. I wanted to use a magnetic holder for my phone, but can't as the compass doesn't work at all once I put a metal tag on the outside of the case.

I found some Vaseline around the corners of the case helps the creaking, just got to take care of keeping it clean as dust collects in the grease.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] eaguirres:
I have the same problem, I don't know if that is the case or the slider, but it is really creepy and annoying.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Cloulu:
If i use the keyboard, i noticed the "Space" between the case and make a bit noise.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Linkz2r4:
Have the same problem, specially during typing on the qwerty keyboard.. will try the paper insert thing, and improvise more later...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexasTerp:
I'm not new to coding per se, I'm a web designer and developer and most of this makes complete sense to me, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have decided I want to learn more by customizing the stock .5 RUU rom (reverted back from .6). So I am working on removing the stock Sprint apps at the moment. I rooted via UnrEVOked one-touch. I am running ROM Manager with the ClockWorkMod Recovery Image.

Here's my setup. I'm running Parallels on my Macbook with Windows XP. I added android-sdk-windows to my C:\ drive and started into the ADB. (I do have SU permission). I have USB Debugging running and I'm in Charge Only Mode.

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
[B]mount -o rw,remount Permission denied[/B]
$ # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
$ cd system/app
cd system/app
$ ls

[Returns the long list of System Apps that are installed ]

$ # rm amazonmp3.apk
# rm amazonmp3.apk
$ exit
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> exit

This is just an test, trying to remove the amazonmp3.apk. I reboot into recovery and reboot the system from there, but the app isn't removed. I've highlighted the possible "problem" commands. - The "Permission denied" error is automatic, I don't get to finish writing the remount code before it automatically gives me the "denied" error

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I've read that the UnrEVOked app doesn't give you full root access, is this correct?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
When in tools directory type

Adb remount

Adb shell

Rm (app name).apk /system/app
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theresthatguy:
or if you removing several apps you may want to cd into the app dir

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexasTerp:
yeah, I think that the UnrEVOked one-touch just doesn't cut it because I get Permission denied on the "adb remount" command
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexasTerp:
getting this:

adb shell
$ cd /system/app
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk
rm failed for amazonmp3.apk, Read-only file system
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Not really sure cause I've never used that method of rooting. Try using the regaw version found in the android Dev forum
[Desire Themes and Apps] jpxdude:
Has anyone tried this yet? Seems like a brilliant idea, free VOIP through WiFi and 3g via your Facebook contact list! I'm waiting for people to install it on my list lol. Will report back if it is any good!
[Desire General] pinkolin:
Please, i need for my ROM access from init.d script to sdcard. But it's not possible mount sdcard. After system boot, this script is OK, but i need it in init.d stage. I need any setprop value or anything. Thanks you for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
Hi, Anybody knows if there is currently available a titanium panel for speedcam alerts?

If not, would anybody be willing to create one?

I have some ideas of how this could work, but I have no idea how to develop it..

here are some thoughts:

Condensed pannel:

- show the current speed and alerts from speedcams (when activated)

Activated pannel

1st page - on/off button and connectivity status

2nd page - current speed, speedcam proximity and alert, buttons to add and remove speedcam (2)

The speedcam information would come from a csv file loaded by the user..

something like this...

What do you guys think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wardh:
+1 great idea. Can't do it myself but hopefully someone can/wants.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
Lets just hope that someone with developping skills take interest on this one..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
Nobody interested in this?

up...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
Would this be too complex to achieve?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
guess not everybody knows what ur talking about ...

what is a speedcam? A camera to make highspeed videos (500 fps)? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
I assumed this would be a known term.. This has nothing to do with the camera function of your mobile. It is related to the traffic cameras that takes pictures of your car when you exceed the speedlimit of a given street thus resulting in a traffic ticket.

Most GPS/routing applications (Garmin, Igo etc.) have the capability of showing alerts when you approach one (if you load the POIs for them). There are also some specific applications that also perform this function (RadarFree), however most are limited to a specific region and already have an automatic update function for the POIs of its speedcams locations which makes the app useless in other countries.

There are quite a few sites around the world that are currently tracking speedcam locations based on user inputs. These locations can often be downloaded on csv format (usually a few others as well) by everyone.

The idea of this pannel is to display the information you need straight from our homescreen without the need to open a different screen to load it, and also to allow the user to input his list of speedcams (this way it can be used in any country).

Let me know if there are still any doubts regarding this.

cheers.

http://www.trapster.com (wm version available in windows marketplace)

whats the advantage of a titanium panel? This program will talk to you, and its worldwide, and FREE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
For one this application requires internet connection and you should have a reasonable data plan to be able to use it. Also this database isn't very updated in all countries.

The advantage of the pannel I'm suggesting is that it doesnt require an internet connection, the information will be easily displayed in your homescreen without the need to open an additional program which usually tends to lead to more RAM consumption, and you can use it anywhere you can download the information for.

Personally I see a lot of benefit in this when compared to the current solutions in place. ;)

regards..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
Another thing in comparison to trapster is that I don't need to see the map, I just want it to display the speed and the speedcam alerts. Such information would fit perfectly on a pannel in Titanium.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaBo:
Try POI-Observer from navifriends.com

It's free, highly configurable, works standalone as well and will overlap any other window when approaching speedcam.

It's not however a Titanium panel but stays in background when no speedcam nearby.

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kondoti:
thnksssssssssssssss

thnkssssssssssssssss
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
Thanks for the suggestion SaBo, although it does have some of the functions I'm looking for it is not a simple tool to use. I actually needed to read the manual to understand how it works, plus I feel that you have put to much work to get it running.

I rather use something simpler, and would still like to see it in titanium.. ;)

tks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:
starting to loose hope here... really thought this would be a good idea for lots of you ...

Well... can't have it all can we? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlito:

Added a poll just to see how many would be interested in such app...

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
After pointing it out ALREADY in your OTHER thread that this was ALREADY answered and in the STICKY, you thought ANOTHER thread was needed?

Jesus man.

READ BEFORE ASKING A F'ING QUESTION, OR POSTING
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
clearly i said i made a mistake. do you have the tools to delete it for me? Then what's the statement for? Also this is different. it says UNROOT USING TERMINAL EMULATOR. The other thread said adb if im not mistake. Scram!!!!! :D
[Vibrant General] egzthunder1:
If you have nothing good to say to the OP, please do not post like this. Flaming is not allowed on XDA.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
I've already reported him/her for cursing. There isn't any need for that.

I wish there was an option to delete threads if mistakes are made by posting duplicate threads. Would help free a lot of space.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ with all respect, I've already answered his question in another thread. If you guys want people making two threads for a topic in the sticky, so be it.

I thought all the effort I put into the sticky would prevent this, and be appreciated by the moderators.

ALSO (from the FORUM RULES, please note rule ONE):

FORUM RULES

1. Search before posting.

Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

and Rule 5

5. Post a message only once.

As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.

If what I typed is "flaming", I'm sorry... I wanted to say worse.

^ I cussed? LOL..... and no, the sticky clearly says terminal emulator.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
I guess mistakes don't count. I said I apologize.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ was not addressing you...

Here is something helpful.... you should add the line

instead of powering the phone off and cutting it back on.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
i don't know about your vibrant but when you hold down power, it says power off. Then you can turn it back on. There's no option for rebooting even though that's the complete process once turned back on.

you see where that can be confusing?

So following step by step should avoid extra questions. Thank you
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ I did not say use the power button, I said you should add "reboot" as a line in terminal emulator, to prevent from having to use the power button.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
When you type "reboot" it restarts the phone so its a shortcut rather than powering it off then powering it back on is what s15274n is saying.

Even though Reboot phone isnt there, its a command and it'll work.
[Vibrant General] MV10:
He's telling you that "reboot" is a command...
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
oooooo thanks!!!

just type (reboot) and enter?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Pretty classy post from "stepinmyworld" from his OTHER thread in the DEVELOPMENT section, LOL.... this guy is too funny. I can't believe I am the one being called out by a mod.

In response to being told he posted in the wrong section:
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
i can't get a break can I? people will take that out of context but Im clearly saying, if a bunch of people are giving up 15 dollars, sometimes thousands of people from around the world and someone post a new rom from their development.. why not be clearer and get mad when people ask questions? But I'll shut up because I'm unrooted now. It's much more complicated than my N1 im guessing because of the double storage (internal and external SD card)

There are some bad people on these forums though. I wouldn't have a problem helping people out until they have it down packed. Im sure they would want the same thing in return. But thanks for the help that I do get from the good peoples.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ the irony being I answered all of your questions, and did not get harsh till you posted yet another thread... at least you posted in the right section this time though.
[Vibrant General] Natchi7:
Hi Zephik,

I tried to unroot my device by using the command "rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk"

I got no such file or directory error. Is that means my device is not yet rooted?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
I have an app on the market that forces roam. It requires root access, and it has not been tested on every phone/ROM yet, so please let me know if you encounter any issues.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol

------------------------------------------------------------

I also have a mod to enable forced roam, however it has been difficult to get it to work with many ROMs. I'll be happy to help you out with any questions, although I don't understand why some apks recompile correctly and others do not.

I modded Phone.apk to enable forced roaming. I have a couple of apks attached, but Fresh 2.3.3 is the only one that I've tested. It sounds like people are having mixed success with the DC version, and the EVO version doesn't work.

Lots of credit to incognito03:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7603#c24

Rename the attached file to "Phone.apk" and push it to /system/app. Not sure if a reboot is required. Remember, always do a nandroid backup when trying something new!

If you want to use this with a different ROM, you should decompile/modify/recompile/sign the apk from the ROM you are using. I attached a diff report for the files I modified so you can see the changes. See my post for instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7625035#post7625035

In the code diff, 0x2 is for "Automatic", and 0x4 is for "Sprint only". There is also code for 0x3 (I'm not sure what this is, EVDO only perhaps? As far as I can tell, it's not used), which I changed to 0x1 for "Roam only".

Let me know if you find any issues. The only thing I've noticed is after enabling, when you go back to change the setting again, it doesn't remember/highlight the "roam only" option like it would for the other settings...seems purely cosmetic.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
Could you please enumerate the advantages and useful applications of being able to force roaming?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JCFrancis:
It would be awesome to have this ported to the moment, what would it take for that to happen?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
At my office, I get a terrible Sprint signal but a great Verizon signal. When on automatic, the phone is constantly searching for towers and switching between Sprint and Verizon. The phone is incredibly unreliable (almost unusable), and the battery drains rather quickly. Now when I'm at work, I can just force it to roam and everything is peachy.

Forced roaming is available on winmo phones, and it was the one reason I was hesitant to switch to android.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
Wow, well congrats on successfully taking matters into your own hands!

Could you post a screenshot of what it looks like? Just a screenshot of the settings page would be nice.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] macvalentine:
thats a cool apk

but why not just switch PRLs since you get better Verizon at your work?

I do that at my job or whenever i leave town and its fine dont gotta roam
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
I tried that but got mixed results. My phone would stop being very responsive and my speeds weren't that great. This is a bit quicker for me since I plan on forcing roam 5 days a week.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] KueDAWG:
AWESOME!

THis is what I've been needing TOO. MrGREG thanks for sharing. Unfortunately when I tried it on CM6 it just closed down all cell reception. When I tried to go to settings it said Phone.apk had FC'ed. Is there anyway to get this running on CM6? I am in the same situation as you are and Being able to ROAM would Help Tremendously.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] macvalentine:
oh got ya. its gonna be good for the peoples that dont get the right results from doin the PRL switch
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
I've only tested my version with Fresh (since it was based off Fresh). I probably wouldn't try it with other ROMs. Doesn't the latest build of CM6 have force roaming built in?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raddfood:
Failed to copy

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Be sure to enter the command adb remount before you try to push to your phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
It does have it builtin, but it forces the data connection to 1x...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
My mod does the same thing. Sprint has an agreement with Verizon to roam with 1x, not EVDO. I believe the PRL hack (mentioned earlier in this thread) will allow you to roam with EVDO, but I never had much luck with that.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
Unfortunately I don't think I can take the time to port the changes. You (or someone) would have to decompile your Phone.apk (using Apk Manager, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701) and see if the changes I made (see attachment on my first post) apply to the Moment.

For now 1x roaming is fine for me. And so I will use CM6's forced roam. But this PRL hack sounds intriguing. I'll Search the forum for it. Still I'm glad U got it working for you. Thanks for all the help.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tseidel:

could u please direct me to PRL hack. when I search forum it keeps sending me back to this post.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bbunner2012:
doesn't roaming cost you a boatload of money for 5 days a week...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
Here's what I did...

- Pulled Phone.apk from Fresh 2.3.3

- Decompiled Phone.apk with Apk Manager 4.8

- Made the changes as shown in the diff (see first post)

- Compiled and signed the new apk with Apk Manager

- Pushed the new apk to my phone

I'm guessing the changes in the diff would apply to all other Sense ROMs based off 2.1. If you're using AOSP or something else, the changes will probably be slightly different.

With Sprint, roaming is free. Just don't do it too much or they'll terminate your plan. My phone roams anyways when set to Automatic...having an option for roam only just makes my phone more reliable.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] infernosoft:
Sorry for the newbie question, but I'm trying to push this on my Hero (DamageControl) using this command:

I get this error:

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
You need to do

adb remount
adb push Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Can you program it to force it to use EVDO? Or is this something that is just not possible? I'd prefer not to use the PRL hack, for easy switching back and forth without a reboot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dhero1:
It doesn't cost you anything other than regular airtime as if you were 'home' - but it does cost Sprint a boatload which they pay on your behalf to the serving carrier, ie, Verizon for the most part ....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ProcessorHog:
I assume you're rooted? If so, try the tip from the post above, and if it doesn't work boot into custom recovery and try again. That should do it.
