[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
VB running full windows I assume (inc USB).

PC Companion? Hmm should find the update. I used SEUS though and that worked
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chris...:
everything works as expected, except the update
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Very odd :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chris...:
I can see the contents of the /system/build.prop file

I am using the generic UK file from the first post, I did not modify the exisitng CDF number in my builld file

My copy of the file on my fone has the generic UK CDF number
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Im not saying that you arent. What Im finding it hard is that you cannot update your firmware.

Can I ask what firmware you are currently running according to either build (in the setting menu) or in the service menu?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chris...:
Build 1.1.A.0.8

I'm not annoyed yet, but I will be when SE finally release android 2.1 and there is no update
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
It should be updating then. But why isnt it? ARGH! Hang on, wonder if we are missing something like what was mention for the U20a's?

I wont inform you then of what news I found out about the 2.1 update yesterday from SE France
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chris...:
It's a U20i phone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Which makes it even stranger
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] colinc1965:
thanks very much this method worked for me first time :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ultra_nyamuk:
hi...gone for a long holiday..now im back..i havent done it yet...will try it now! haha
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ultra_nyamuk:
hmm...i tried it many times...but failed. it still says that my software is the latest. i tried both using commands and also using rootexplorer. i managed to replace the build.prop but it doesnt change anything, it still says my software is the latest. any help?? i used the build.prop from 1st post.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Mounted /system as RW?
[Captivate General] nbs11:
If someone could please add this to the wiki that would be great...

I found out that if you are using Swipe, you can drag from the Swipe logo to the Sym logo and it gives you a feature full text selector. Not exactly a hidden feature, but still hard to find.
[Captivate General] cesierra:
the same applies if you are using the Samsung Keyboard and long press on the ?123 key
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
Sweet, thanks for the tip.
[Droid X General] EVO'D_OUT:
I have a D-Link DIR-655 802.11n router. Encryption set to AES/WPA2. The DX will connect just fine, but after a few minutes of web browsing it will stop transmitting data. I remaing connected to the Wifi signal but no data is passing and web pages go to 'page not found'. If I toggle WiFi off then on again, I get a few minutes of browsing then the same issue. No such issue on laptop or desktop connected to same router.

I read elsewhere that the DX may have issue with AES or just the 802.11n band in general. Anyone else found a solution or can shed light on this?
[Droid X General] silversonic1:
Download the WiFi Analyzer app and make sure your router is on a channel that no other router is interfering with.
[Captivate General] pezx44:
Like many out there, I tried to purchase a Captivate from Walmart/Letstalk when they were advertising the ridiculously low off-contract price. Of course they did not honor it and that was expected. More than anything I was kind of annoyed that they told me I had to have an ATT contract in order to buy the phone there (so much for "Off Contract").

So I complained to the BBB on the basis that they changed their price up then back down then back up (skip to the last paragraph to skip any explanation of what I said). I mentioned that I understand if it was a pricing error then that's that, but the fact that it was posted twice (once after it was "fixed") combined with not finding wording stating that you must have a current ATT contract in addition to being told the first time that it was just an address issue, that I would like them to resolve the issue. My ideal resolution would be honoring the price (never expected) or at the very least fixing the wording on their site to make it clear that you needed an ATT account.

I sent the complaint to Walmart since if you navigate to their site from there, there is very little telling you that you are on a new site (letstalk.com) and also because it was the only way I could see to bring the issue to the attention of Walmart (short of sending a letter via snail mail).

Anyway, the resolution they offered was to give me 100 dollars off the purchase price (still need an ATT account though). I'm just posting this in case anybody else wants to give it a shot. I personally did not accept their offer (I can't anyway) and offered a middleground solution of them posting on their site that you need an ATT contract in order to purchase off contract.
[Captivate General] Lancez:
100 bucks off? maybe they'll just give u a gift card and ask u to pay the retail price on the phone.
[Captivate General] Lancez:
never mind
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
They offered $100 off for all those who ordered but didn't call in to cancel. But that's still $399.

I ended up paying $275 for an early upgrade in AT&T store.

As for AT&T account requirement, that's normal practice and since you can't get any unlock code anyway for Captivate (see other threads). So what's good to buy a Captivate without AT&T account.
[Captivate General] Lancez:
turbo sim seems interesting though
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
I would assume so you dont have to extend your contract two years with att ,
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
If I can buy new phones every year (with $75 early upgrading fee), I have no problem extending my contract. It's not like I can't get any new phone until 2 years later.

FYI, my last upgrade was @ 10/2009 with 2-year contract. So, nine months for a new phone isn't too bad for me.

Verizon simply isn't an option for me (I need GSM phones for international travel). So, it's not like I have another carrier to sign on to.
[Captivate General] kkeo:
I went the first day they released the phone and bought on contract at best buy, where they matched the price of the walmart website which free! The guy I bought from also told me they would match the off contract price. So I ended up just paying the tax for two phones. I honestly don't know what best buy's policy is on price matching, but the best buy mobile guy and his manager approved the price match.
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
Just got mine last night. I showed a picture of the walmart price and best buy did a price match, no questions asked. Saved me $130 :)
[Captivate General] ewingr:
What price was that? $149?

I see it in Wirefly for $99. Wonder if they would match that.Although I'd be willing to pay a bit more to get it locally.

To my surprise, BB has it in their store for $229. Anyone paying that has done zero research. I suppose there are poor souls that fit in that category.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
I paid 199 for my phone at Best Buy the second day it was out. They price matched the AT&T advertised price. I wasn't really concerned at the price because I had gift cards for best buy from a rebate offer I wasn't expecting so I ended up getting the phone for free.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I have the OTA Froyo OS on my phone and after a hard reset my 3G speed dropped by at least 10x. With a full signal and in the same exact spot where I was getting over 900kBitps I can't get over 95kBITps. I've update PRL and Data profile, that doesn't seem to work.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Do you think Sprints bandwidth is being used with all these Froyos being uploaded.
[Streak 5 General] silverbmw801:
Hello all

As the CNET review stated, the audio output from the speaker is below average.

Would all you streak owners agree with that statement?

Is it comparable to the iphone? EVO?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] jvc.silence:
mine is very loud and very clear...:):D love it!
[Streak 5 General] silverbmw801:
Really? I wasnt expecting to see a positive response lol.

How do you compare it to the iphone's or Evos?
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
i dont understand why everyone keeps *****ing about the streaks speaker. i think its fantastic! browsing youtube/watching movies rules with the speaker.
[Streak 5 General] silverbmw801:
Good to know! Biased websites, again.
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Playing music or movies isn't tooooo bad, still a bit tinny compared to my HD2, but sometimes its really bad, proper tinny and very crackly with other audio stuff like text-to-speech and some other stuff too but can't remember off the top of my head.
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
I think its due to inconsistent devices. My first streak wasn't great with the loudspeaker and in the end the ear speaker died altogether. Got a new one and the speaker is notably clearer.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Ive got no complaints should be better once 2.2 is on board :)
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Heh heh its rubbish, the iphone 3g was better clearer. I find the speaker tiny, distorted and not loud enough.

Not sure why any one would say its good, but you get by with it. Headphones however are excellent, very clear and crisp with plenty of bass.
[Desire General] UltraLinx:
Does anyone know how to push a modded app to the HTC Desire and make it stay?

Because obviously on the HTC Desire pushing files normally with adb push doesn't make them stay.

Anyone got a solution?
[Desire General] UltraLinx:
No one can help me out?
[Desire General] sbdags:
Are you pushing them when in recovery?
[Desire General] UltraLinx:
I don't think pushing them in recovery makes a difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchyevo:
Is anyone else having the problem of not being able to connect to wifi??

Mine seems to just cycle from a disconnect to obtaining ip address. I tried what others suggested such as changing the wep to wap but to no avail.

Another issue I came across is the audio output sounds extremely muffled. It is like the gain was lowered and the range of the music was squashed.

Anyone have a solution for this stuff?

Guess I cant have my cake and eat it too....or in this case yogurt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony0691:
I had the same issue with the cm6 nightly and i figured out a way for it to connect I don't know if this actaully works of if it was just a lucky try but you can try this out. I basically disabled my WPA key went on my phone and try connecting to my wifi connection and it connected without a problem. After it connected I went ahead and enabled my WPA key again and try connecting with my phone and it seemed to connect fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchyevo:

[Android Themes] refnulf:
Okay so I was browsing this forum a while back and I remember coming across a thread/post that had multiple icons for notifications, e.g an icon for gmail and then an icon when you get a few mails etc

I can't seem to find that again despite busting my ass looking for it :(

So I was wondering if something like that actually exists and if it's possible to use icons like that via bettercut/folderorg lite? I have a HTC Desire so unfortunately metamorph is out of the question...
[Android Themes] 5noc:
Do you mean a Gmail icon that wehn you receive new e-mails it indicates how many unread e-mails you have with a little number?

Like this?
[Android Themes] refnulf:
5noc, yes!

But not for launcherpro/ADW launcher. I'd like to be able to stick it on the homescreen.

Though if you can guide me the way of icons of that fashion that I can use in docks too I'd appreciate it tremendously!
[Android Themes] 5noc:
In my Hero the stock SMS icon when placed in the homescreen does that without any modification, running stock 2.1, then again it may be because of Sense, I don't know :)

What you see in my screenshot is LauncherPro, to customize the icons of your dock just create a folder in your SD called "Custom" or whatever you like and put there the icons, for that screenshot I used the RoughDraft icons founs in MacThemes (http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16803227), they already have transparency so you only have to copy-paste the ones you want into the SD folder.

Next press the icon in your LauncherPro dock that you want to change and select "Change icon" from the menu that will pop up, open the Gallery and select the icon you want :D

When you are done, if you create a blank file in the folder where you have the icons and rename it to ".nomedia" without the quotes, the images inside that folder (the icons you're using for the dock) won't apear no more in the gallery when you open it to see your camera pictures.
[Android Themes] Kazan22:
A simple icon can not do that, it would have to be either built into the launcher or it would need to be a widget (Handcent has that). They might have some widgets on the market
[Android Themes] refnulf:
thank you guys!
[Android Themes] steli.ignatov:
@5noc can you give me link for your wallpaper? i'm with Legend
[Android Themes] evolution.x:
What font are you using?
[Android Themes] 5noc:
It's called Neutrafont :)
[Android Themes] evolution.x:
Are you willing to share the font?

I've had a look on Google but cannot find it?
[Android Themes] crackedvenom2:
off topic,, thanks for the icon pack, it rocks!

also whos the girl? just a random wallpaper or what? its great.
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
That would be considered Warez, no? It is a paid font, and cost upwards of $150 USD.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo11:
I an using the same build as you. Here comes a stupid question - do I just drop this in the Android folder? I have never had to install anything in android yet :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dhack21:
Put the .apk on your SDcard and use Astro or something simular to launch it.

Depending on the build you may also have to select in phone options to allow non marketplace apps to install.

Delete HTCLockscreen.apk from /system/app and then reset ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shawn_230:
Hmm, I can't get this to work on FroyoStone.

When I open the .apk file it tells me it's already installed, even though I don't have the 3D launcher, and it gives me the option to uninstall. I even tried uninstalling the old package, rebooting and reinstalling the file found here... everything looks the same.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
sure it will be the same , it is the stock lancher like what is in the froyostone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shawn_230:
Oh, really?

I thought this was the 3D launcher like you see in Nexus One. You know, the one where the bottom of the list fades away in a 3D manner.

The one on FroyoStone doesn't seem 3D at all, it's just a grid of icons on a black background.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
go to settings apps , apps manager , lancher pro and choose clear defaults then press home button and choose lancher
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cezzarmicu:
deleting the file would give you trouble turning off your alarm. only a shutdown would turn off the alarm. do you have to do something else for this to be solved?

EDIT

never mind, found the solution on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-754938.html

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shawn_230:
Thanks for the response. I followed your directions but nothing happends, everything looks the same as before.

Pressing the home button only gives me the overview of the seven Sense homscreens, no launcher options or anything.

Since it worked with Cognition ROM...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roshambo:
I downloaded the OTA update last night and encountered something odd (but probably normal). After it went through the update process it gave me the "Congratulations blah blah blah" message. Then after I hit OK on that it popped up a box with a rotating circle and a percentage indicator that slowly went to 100%. My inquisitive mind is wondering what the heck was it doing since it said the update had been installed successfully already. Anyone else experience this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roshambo:
Could anyone at least verify that they saw the same thing when they did the OTA update?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azneon:
Yes, this happened to me too. Don't know what it was doing though.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:
********In the X10i's case, the "conflicting" application is Sony Ericsson's own "Backup and Restore" application.*********8

If that was the case, I would have faced the same problem......But I am not....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] masterofp:
Mine wasn't rooted until yesterday, but the same problem occurred to me few times on soft *20. After updating to *26 and using the Universalandroot app, everything seems to be fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thermoska:
it is the problem ..

I had same issue too, .. after removing backup and restore its gone

before i tried if it works and it worked for me like hell

install some task killer app (advanced task killer (ADK) from market for example)

turn on backup and restore (use middle button to go to the mainscreen)

run ADK and kill everything.

Maybe it will not shows on first try . Because you never know if the Bac and Res is currently accesing the sim card or not. But after few tries it will disconnect your sim and ask you for PIN.

off course you do not have the issue if you are not using some task killer app.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
Backup and restore was causing this too for me, I figured it out last night LOL

Wish I had read it here first and saved myself loads of time.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Elaba:
Isn't it possible by just removing the "backup and restore.apk" with Titanium, i"m just a noob in this kind of things (rooted my x10i about 1 hour ago and already had the sim lock fault)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lord Takyon:
That's how I did it. Froze it first just to be sure.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] viks X10i:
ok.. since we are on sim card topic.. my problem is similar to this, i posted it here twice on forum but wasnt able to get any answer.. so problem is everytime i go out of reception i.e. basement, subway etc. so when i come back to reception(signal) area phone wont connect automatically, i hv to do it manually everytime.. even then it will show msg- your sim card does not allow connection to network. till date problem is not solved but i hv to go to STK and toggle SELECT VISITED NETWORK and RESELECT VISITED NETWORK. and set it on SELECT... then again doing manual searching will connect the phone...( i got this trick? on a local network provider forum, it works! but still lot of work each time..lol..)

i have rooted x10i with 26.. i have TB free version..

do u guys think above solution of removing SE backup n restore would repair the problem.. im just planning to remove it using TB.. plz put ur thoughts thanx
