[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
The support being **** isn't really fair, we've had more than one update every month that fixes a lot of issues so the support isn't bad. The outdated software has a point but the OS shipped with the phone is being updated and we're going to see a new OS in a matter of weeks.

OLED? I can go on for pages about it but I'll just mention two points. Sunlight and bad resolution.

It's totally crap in sunlight, even more so than any other screen I've experienced. I've tried to use the Desire in sunlight but even max brightness and shading it with my hand didn't help.

The resolution is crap. Period. Not only does it have a effective lower resolution when you use it compared to counting the actual pixels but it also makes text and high contrast graphics really blurry. If you have an oled display nearby I invite you to look closely at black text on white background on both it and a tft display and compare them. Even though the difference is smaller when look at from a distance many have complained that the difference, even though hard to notice from a distance, gives them headaches.

For me brighter colours don't make up for crap resolution. I'll gladly take fewer colors if it means that I can read on it and use it outdoors.
[Vibrant General] daddysays:
Sooooo, I may have bricked it. Any help would be appreciated.

So I got my new sd card and figured i would go ahead and partition for future use, if needed for apps2sd, or any other reason. Instead of going through adb I thought I would save myself some time and just do it from Rom Manager.

Now most of you probably already know what happened. Being as the storage on our devices is called "sdcard" I am humbly assuming that it thought I wanted to partition THAT.

Phone wont boot. Tried factory reset, but no surprise there, it did not work. Can get into download mode and reset menu.

Do I need to flash the factory pda, phone and boot files? Will that work? Where can I get it (preferably without the bloatware and root?????)? Do I need a specific version of odin or will the same one i used for my behold 2 be ok?

Sorry if any of this is stupid, I read these forums cause I want to learn as much as possible about my phone, but have limited experience messing with it. Might try Eugene's froyo just for kicks before I go back to factory. But is this the correct route, or should i just get a replacement?

**** update to issue in post 5

Thanks, makes sense. Download mode does not appear to be working now though, think i got into on accident trying to get to recovery mode.

Is it vol down plus power?
[Vibrant General] daddysays:
How do you know if you are in download mode? Once when i was in what i thought was download mode it said please wait downloading or something, big yellow characters, and when i hit menu in recovery mode it sent me to a screen with a little mailbox and an arrow coming out of it pointing to a little green android.

Which is dl mode?
[Vibrant General] daddysays:
ok, i got it into dl mode and when i flashed back to stock it still had a blank screen, like the post above says. But then when I tried to flash Eugene's froyo rom it froze on cach.rfs in odin and the screen on the phone went black. So after about an hour i pulled the plug and tried again, same thing, now when i go to flash back to stock, like previously, it does the same thing, freezing when odin gets to cache.rfs

Also the cell phone goes to a screen that has a cell phone and a computer and the link is broken by an exclamation point. cannot get into recovery mode from there but can get back to download mode.

Any help with all of this?
[Vibrant General] ElahC:
People have been saying that it could be a problem with your Operating System. Mines is Windows 7 64 - bit and when I use Odin it worked but I have experienced what you have; Odin getting stuck on cache.rfs. You can try on a Windows XP based computer to see if you have any success in that. Also you can possibly be using the wrong Odin. Try the Odin from either : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475 , or : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740558 . When I was using Odin it would get stuck on cache.rfs but I tried a different Odin and it worked fine again. Really hope this helps and sorry for the late response.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Well, I know about 95% of the questions at the moment are going to involve the new Froyo OTA question, so if someone can answer this I'd appreciate it lots.

Basically.. I installed the new Facebook app from the Market, and I synced my contacts (maybe it happened before that, I don't really know) but for some reason, it's come up with over 1700 contacts.. All the same people, just with lots saying "com.facebook.auth.login" when I go in to a specific contact.. For example, I've synced most of my contacts with Google aswell, which looks like the image I've uploaded..

But why is there 4x com.facebook.auth.login there? There really shouldn't be 1.. And is there any way to get rid of them?

Dan
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fridgeman:
i've got the same issue except some contacts just show 1 com.auth.... where as some others have over 8! this is on a desire by the way with the new 2.2 OTA update
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
I had the exact same problem. It's a conflict between the Facebook for Android and Facebook for HTC Sense apps. Seeing that I could only get rid of the FB for Android, that's what I did and now all my contacts are fine.

Is there any way to ditch the FB for HTC Sense? I don't want it, the Android app is much nicer looking and probably works better, too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
I have been scouring these forums and Google for the last 2 hours and can't seem to find clear direction...

So I tried following a guide to root my MyTouch 3G, and of course it didn't work.

Here is my phone information:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO- 2.22.19.26I

The issue I am running into now, is that I am stuck on the ANDROID SETUP screen and my phone will NOT connect over Data. It is a Data-enabled SIM and worked 2 hours ago!

I figure my next step is to create a Goldcard and flash it properly, but I dont know how to get the CID code I need for the card...

Am I stepping in the right direction? Or totally wrong? haha

I also wanted to add, that it SEEMS to flash the stock ROM perfectly fine (well, it says OK after each segment) and the phone boots in fine, if I tried flashing a ROM that had "Setup Android Via WIFI" on it would it work?

I am scared to try anything else for fear I will take it to far... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
Suppose I forgot to mention, it is an Original MyTouch 3G.

Does NOT have the 3mm jack
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Which guide did you follow to root it? Do you have a custom recovery image loaded on? Have you called T-Mobile to confirm there's no issues with your phone in their system or their network near you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
I was following this guide:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-mytouch-3g/

I know, I know, I was stupid for ignoring the Goldcard stuff in EVERY other guide.

Haven't tried loading custom recoveries, don't know if it would do anything else or not.

I have not called T-mobile, however it STILL isnt working, so thats like 6+ hours of outage, I kind of doubt that... Tried using EGDE connection too (I know that is working) and same issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Your going to have to use the GoldCard method since you've got a perfected SPL. Your data problem still could be something within T-Mobile's network. I would hit them up while your making your GoldCard, just to make sure everything is as it's suppose to be.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
Well thats the issue... HOW do I get my CID if I cannot get past the SETUP ANDROID screen?

I think it will have to wait till tomorrow (so I can use a friend's phone)

Or is there a different way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
No, using a friend's phone to my knowledge would be your best bet. Unless you have a Windows Mobile phone laying around. I'm still looking around. Do you have a SD card reader and is not a USB adapter?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
No WinMo phones, saw that I could do it with that...

The reason I got the MyTouch is because my TP2 took a swim. haha (Was a little more concerned with the $30,000 boat washing on shore than the phone)

I am using the reader built into my laptop... Otherwise I have the one on my printer... (using a SD-card-adapter) for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Thought I found something but nevermind. Guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
Did you try it???

I need to install Visual Studio to compile it, but if you tried it and it didnt work then I wont bother.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
No, didn't try it as I don't have Visual plus the internet in the cabin I've got rented just crapped out.
[General Questions and Answers] brent372:
I have a few contacts in my phone that have had a photo associated with them, well before I got my TP2 with SenseUI.

Now with SenseUI it pulls the current FB photo for those contacts associated with FB accounts.

I love this feature.

What is strange is, my wife for example.

Her photo all throughout the phone (contacts pages, etc) is her current FB photo. That changes once I am in a call with her. Then the call screen shows her old Outlook photo from a while ago.

How do I update this?

Hi,

I have issues with some of my Live wall papers that uses 3D rendering. In most of the cases I see the wireframes of the 3d objects. In some cases (Dandelion) it's also in black-and-white. Aurora, Blue sea, Dandelion are the ones that are effected. I tried reinstalling them from market but I only get "Installation unsuccessful" message. I'm not sure if this happened after I did the lagfix or installed / uninstalled Pandahome and aHome. I have JG1 as baseband, JG5 build with Mimocan's lagfix. Is this a known issue, or has anyone heard about this before? I could re-flash my SGS and do it all over again. But the procedure is kinda pain in the butt and I'm looking for a fix first. I'm grateful for any help.

[Android Apps and Games] Andy2.2:
Hi all, just signed up here, have been browsing around for a while. :)

I was thinking that LocoRoco or a LocoRoco like game would be ideal for any phone with a Gyroscope or Accelerometer; of which there are many.

I thought that LocoRoco would be ideal as it would not require any hardkey mapping, as the game, which is originally a PSP title, only uses the L and R keys to tilt the screen left and right. (Which could possibly be duplicated by tilting the phone left and right)

Unfortunately I have no developing skills :( so I would be useless if it came to helping with the development of it.

I searched to see if there had been any other interest in LocoRoco coming to Android or Windows Mobile, and fair to say there were 1or2 threads dating back to 2008-2009, but neither of which attracted a lot of attention.

Sorry I couldn't add a link to the game, new user restrictions :p

[Android Apps and Games] brummiesteven:
It's just speculation at the moment but rumour is the PSP2 will be a Phone, an Android phone at that, so they can compete better with the DS. It's a solid rumor, gone back ages and the Android link comes from Sony's new relationship with google and... let's face it, It's gonna be a smart phone if it does happen and they're not going to pick Symbian over Android especially after the success of the X10.

I don't think they'd scap their digital distribution they got started with the PSP Go, especially because each "PSP Phone" would have 3G. So it would either be a dedicated market just for PSP games or they would distribute them throughout the Android Market.

Who knows, perhaps the "PSP Phone" isn't a specific handset but them distributing via several on the android market (assumption would be they're locked only to SE phones but I'm sure this could be overcome).
