The FF7 I got online was in rar/zip/ecm/bin combination i have to uncompress it to bin file.

I can play FF7 (disc 1), Chrono Cross (disc 1) and SagaFrontier 1 on my X10a. Graphic and video playback are nice but audio is very choppy so I turned it off. Also, it's almost not playable because you cannot multi-touch (you need to press directional key and 1 button to 'run') on those games, without it, the characters are walking in snail speed...

Ive tried playing grand turismo. had 2 different downloads and both had an issue,first one didnt go forward at all and the second one the car can only get up to around 10mph..... the accelrometer works nice with the racing type games but need to find one that actualy works

Hi i think mt for playing psx games would be awsome but: in fact i ve played psx games on my touch diamond and yoused my own psx games and they worked fine. Only reasen why games werent enjoyable: 10 frams/s and okay the diamond has few more hardware buttons but great for final burn for example

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] iggynig:
If you're having trouble with FF7 in the underwater bit, I read in other forums that you can't get past it using the psx4droid app. Apparently you need to do that part on a PSX PC emulator then save the save game file back on to your psx4droid folder, doesn't seem to be any other way around it
[XPERIA X10 General] Lakata:
i`m playing diablo 1 mostly because i dont need the mt ... like in the other games ... and mostly i`m looking for games witch dont need the use of mt to be played :)
[XPERIA X10 General] xtrmshadow:
Heh,i played Dino Crisis 2 : works

Gran Turismo 2 : Works perfectly

GTA 1 : Works perfectly

GTA 2 : Works perfectly

NFS 3 Hot Pursuit : Works perfectly

NFS 4 High Stakes : Works perfectly

Tekken 3 : Not working at all.

Gonna try this evening : Resident Evil series.

BTW : For those that complain of multitouch,ican play ALL games without any problem...how ? Using the hardware buttons.

You just put the "Back" button as the "X", and the "Focus"(Yes the camera button) as the "Square", and you can play almost all the games without anykind of problem,specially driving games.

So for those who complain of MT : Yes its nice but NOT a "Cant live without it".

And for those who say Desire is better : Why are ya here? The X10 can be a LOADS nicer,smoother and better device than the Desire if you tweak it nicely,so shush.

thnks 4 those advice
[Droid X General] OMNIPOTENT1:
I hardly post here, this is known.

Even still....The end of the month is coming up for early adopters. Still no custom roms. This is not good news.

I pondered a resolution...and other than returning for a refund and waiting for the fascinate, I couldn't really come up with anything.

About a month ago, I was fortunate enough to read a donation thread in this section of the boards that was titled: "help buy a droid x, for developer" .

Obviously that idea has been done. So i thought what can be better? :D

im going to cut to the chase. most of you HAVE to know the deal and have some idea of what we need. Hopefully some of you know exactly what we need and work with it daily:cool: Perhaps somebody here has a friend that has a connection. Instead of fearing the efuse, we can start a fund for the individual(who will remain anonymous) who can upload the engineering ROM, encryption keys AND the bootloader. Once the files are verified as authentic by the talented members of xda, then the raised funds will be transferred over to the anonymous uploader of said data.

Discuss.
[Droid X General] caffeineighted:
Uh...

No, thanks
[Droid X General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
sure, thats a bad idea for a couple of reasons, legal issues come to mind

we have root with froyo coming soon and the sbf just came out. id say were doing pretty good for being three weeks from launch. enjoy it for what it is and enjoy the goodies as they come. There arent many we dont already have. :)
[Droid X General] OMNIPOTENT1:
custom roms dont entice people? LOL. wow.

That is all that the X needs, as it will add longevity to the device. Being binded to motorolas software release schedule, really blows. This is a great unit, it just needs some work on the software. Said fixes that most likely will only be done by devs on these forums.

Thanks LegionTHEFecalExcretion, i knew about the security breach and the sbf. Hey, at least you offered somewhat of an answer and not some peabrain bot rebuttal.
[Droid X General] Deleted member 2351944:
The encryption keys are, I'm very sure, tightly controlled at Motorola. Most companies have software design/build control where software ready for compiling gets checked in and typically encryption keys are locked away within these build control systems.

This means that, not only do you have to raise enough money to make it worthwhile for the person to potentially lose their job and get sued, but it's not usually all the average-Joe programmers who have access. It's probably the higher-up project managers or coding leads.

I just don't see the donation pile getting big enough to entice someone already making a very good living to take a change on losing their livelihood and getting sued over it.
[Droid X General] oldmacnut:
Why not just enjoy the phone, be happy with the current root abilities, and know that at some point we will be able to load custom roms. Yes I want to load a vanilla rom just as bad as the next guy, however I am tired of seeing people ask "are you done, are you done, are you done yet?, how about now, now? maybe now"?

Give some breathing room to these guys, maybe they have kids, jobs, wifes, a life.
[Droid X General] gbmitchell:
I don't understand why you guys have to be mean to the guy. He is new to the forum and probably new to smart phones. He may even have very little knowledge of what a programming environment would be like and how great the downside could be for someone to leak said information. He had what he thought was a good idea and was a b it ignorant. That does not mean he should be treated like crap.
[Droid X General] Magicadder:
I have some advice for you omni, go get yourself an iphone and leave this forum... i can't believe that you would have the mentality to whine about some of the brightest minds that we have come to respect in this forum, complaning that they don't work fast enough for you... your a very selfish person who has no right to treat the respected members of this forum in such a way.

I for one love this phone and will continue to use it with or without custom roms...

And a special thanks to those working on the bootloader/ custom rom programming... we will wait for your perfection.
[Droid X General] Crondar:
Some phones are easier to work with then others. The DX has not been out that long, have patience.

As an example the Droid Incredible was rooted and a custom recovery added pretty dang quick. On the other hand the Droid Eris took awhile to root and even then, some Eris users had "upgraded" to one of several "leaked" roms and could not root while others that did not leak could. I was a "leak" adopter and it took them several more months to finally get root for the "leaked" Eris owners.

Give it time. They will figure it out eventually.

Or go get something that is more customizable, like the DInc.
[HD2 General] me:
When one selects the "people" tab at the bottom of the phone, it opens the HTC "People" app, where you can put photos of people to click on as "favorites".

If one then clicks on the phrase "all people" on the bottom left, one comes to Contacts.

Is there any way to set it, registry tweak, etc., so that clicking on that people tab will bring you directly to Contacts, without having to go to their "People" app first?

Thanks for your input.
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
i just put the htc contacts tabe on my homescreen. but id also like to see if there is a fix or not for this...
[HD2 General] bazinga:
74. Add All Contacts to Home Screen Left Softkey

By default the left softkey on the the Sense home tab is coded to Phone which is pointless and a waste because you can get to the same Phone page by pressing the Send hardware key. Change it to the All People page (eliminating 2 taps) by using the following reg entry:

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila

HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

HomeLSKText = Contacts

Search [REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* in the forum.
[HD2 General] me:
Thanks for the reply, Bazingo. I'll try that.

I'm still very much a newbie at Sense, just having got the HD2 a couple days ago, and never having used a device with that interface before.

One unfortunate thing I find about it though (again, I could be wrong, being so new at it), is that (out of the box) it seems so unconfigurable.

For instance, the main feature seems to be that ribbon of tabs at the bottom. That is a good idea. However, from what I can see, the only configuration one can do of them, is to remove them (other than Settings or Home)! One should be able to set any of the tabs to do what you want it to do, to include whatever app launchers you want from it, etc. One certainly SHOULD be able to set that people tab to go directly to contacts, if one prefers that, over that HTC "People" app.

I'm sure I'll learn more ways to hack the configuration here on XDA, and I am really grateful for this site. Most users won't know, of course, about XDA, might not feel comfortable with hacking the registry, or installing cabs from folks they don't know. This UI should really be much more configurable "out-of-the-box". (I wonder if HTC is listening?)
[HD2 General] cdguider:
Configurable?

I really don't know what to say except wow. People should know what there buying before they purchase it. Do a little research. There's a reason they made it that way, last I checked Manilla wasn't open source. Nevertheless you are in the right place when it comes to customizing.
[HD2 General] me:
My response to a comment like that-- arrogant BS sarcasm.

Well, if having such an attitude makes you feel good, to each his own!

Hi,

Any one got wind away zone also working ?
[Vibrant General] setrepaca:
Wind Away is possible...but its quite a bit of WORK

@mohitmoudgil: Check out my updated version of the original posting, its got some Wind Away workarounds...
[Vibrant General] hkfan:
Thanks. Everything is working fine but when it looses signal like in basement then phone takes about 2-3 minutes to get the signal back.

Is there anything we can do make it fast. May be it is looking for too many bands or smoething.
[Vibrant General] dukemantee:
I have a samsung vibrant from Tmobile currently on mobilicity. I tried wind, and mobi, both worked. However, I decided to go with mobi because of the better price on the monthly plan.

I agree with the last post. Every time I go to an area where it loses a connection, it seems to be searching for a while. Sometimes it does reconnect but it takes a while. Other times I have to continually go into the "network and wireless" settings and search manually for the provider and reconnect.

The staff at mobilicity are telling me to find out how to lock the phone to 3g mode only. I can turn 2g off, but there is no way of locking it to 3g only-- not that i'm aware of anyway. I have selected my APN, and turned data roaming off..... i'm not entirely sure what they mean by this.

I work and stay right in the middle of the coverage zone all day, but some days I can only get "CDN roaming" as a provider. Unfortunately, I didn't know all of this and got charged for data sent and received on the network even while being in the coverage zone. Also the reps didn't help me out there because I don't have a mobilicity phone. Currently the only way to really resolve these types of connection issues with the network is calling them for a refresh.... which doesn't help if you find out after being sent tons of texts, etc.

I read there may be a hack to lock it to wind home zone or mobilicity home zone? is that true? can anyone help?

thanks

[Vibrant General] noahgray:
My phone seems to be stuck at (Searching). It worked at home using the tips in this thread, but went back to (Searching) when I left the house.

No, only the T-Mobile version will work, from what I understand. It has to do with the radios.
[Vibrant General] solidkundi:
when i choose Wind Home... it says...

"SIM CARD DOES NOT ALLOW CONNECTION TO THIS NETWORK"

then it asks me to search again... its the same thing over n and over again.....

mine is T-Mobile Vibrant...Unlocked using the guide found in xda.... i have my brother's Wind Mobile Sim in my T-Mobile while i'm trying this...

can someone help?

Thanx in advance!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] PhysWiz314:
I had this same problem but my phone would usually connect to Wind Home when I tried a second time. The solution I found was to follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread to connect to Wind Home but make sure that the only two bands selected under COMBI BANDS are [7] WCDMA 1700 (FDD IV)[*] and [5] WCDMA 2100 (FDDI)[*]. When I first set mine up, I also had the WCDMA 1900 option starred. Once I turned this off I never had a problem connecting to Wind Home.
[Vibrant General] gojeera:
after following the instruction on here, i haven't been able to get wind data to work; i try loading a web page and it just hangs...

any help will do..

btw, i'm in toronto
[Vibrant General] Actinic:
How did you remove the WCDMA 1900 option? Whenever I click, I only have the option to add it.
[Vibrant General] PhysWiz314:
To remove the WCDMA 1900 option, first go into [2] WCDMA BAND and select [2] WCDMA 2100(FDD I). This should de-select everything but this one.

Then you can go back to the COMBI BANDS menu and add the other band [7] WCDMA 1700 (FDD IV).
[Vibrant General] cheyney:
Improved with Froyo?

Any news on whether the switch between Home and Away has improved with 2.2 Froyo?

Do I understand correctly that the phone will automatically switch from Home to Away but not back? Once you switch back manually to Home, will it automatically switch to Away the next time you leave your home zone?

Thank you in advance
[Vibrant General] PhysWiz314:
I just flashed to the Froyo ROM found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740558

last night and it seems to have fixed the Wind Home problem.

My settings are now

= ACQUISITION ORDER = ... [3] UMTS->GMS[*]

= BAND SELECTION = ... [1] AUTOMATIC[*]

This seems to be the default setting after I flashed the ROM as I didn't change anything. My phone now connects to Wind Home when I start it up. I have not tried leaving the city (Edmonton) to see if it automatically connects to Wind Away though.
[Vibrant General] nightning:
Vibrant in Vancouver?

I'm wondering if anybody gotten this to work in Vancouver...

After I gone through the process and selected WCDMA 1700 (FDD IV)[*] and [5] WCDMA 2100 (FDDI)[*], my phone cannot seem to find Wind Home at all.

I tried at various locations around town and only picked it up around Main & SW Marine Dr. The signal quickly dropped to 0 when I drove away.

The phone has no problem picking up Wind Away once I reset it to auto select.

Is this just a network thing or there's more settings to change for the phone? Surely the network can't be that bad.

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant General] west-siiiyyde:
Yep, I've set this up and it works fine. Generally Wind's network seems to show only 1-2 bars and I've noticed the radio always runs over 100dbHz. But its rare to have no coverage at all. Steps were unlock, 1700 & 2100 like you mentioned, acquisition order UTMS > GSM, internet APN set for internet.windmobile.ca. This was all done on a 2.2 vibrant and i have used this combo on jk2, jk6, jl1, jl4 modems without problems- jl4 seemed to work best.
[Vibrant General] nightning:
I guess it's a modem problem then. The phone tends to drop to 0 signal but can call & receive fine. Not sure if this is the cause of the battery drain. 10% over 7 hours even just on idle with only 3G running.

I'm a noob, running 2.1 stock. Never flashed anything before. What's the safest route to getting this fix? Root it, install ROM manager, backup then flash a 2.2 ROM or just flash the jl4 modem?
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
Why should I need to root my phone, I understand about bloatwares from AT&T but need a reason if I root It what will happen? Also once its rooted, will I be able to get update android 2.2? I need a good reason why I should root it. So please help me out with those list of reasons. Thank you.
[Captivate General] dewt:
Seriously, put a little effort into searching this forum. Look at one of the other android forums. If you don't know why you would want to root your phone, then you don't need to do it.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
That's the problem, all the search comes out different. That's why I am asking on here cuz nothing comes out right. You don't have to be mean or even post on here if You didn't like to hear it. I just want the real opinion and all those opinions will summerize.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Here's the things I've done since I rooted:

To get rid of the ATT apps (this one is important because they launch for no reason).

To sideload apps right from the phone.

To change the appearance.

To really "own" my phone.

I really don't know beyond that. I guess if you're fine without rooting it then don't. I used it happily for 2 weeks without root, but I couldnt stand the invasive launching ATT bloat.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
What about the update, if its rooted, can I still get in air update?

Yes

[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Well like everyone I had the GPS issue and it was frustrating. I do run an app killer and I always notice many apps (especially the preloaded ones) Keep launching themselves. It got rather irritating. Specifically Telenav.

I noticed with Telenav my GPS would be very flaky. Once I got "killed" it the gps seemed to improve. I thought to myself maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Did a bit of research and found an app called "Start UP Auditor" which completely kills an app and restricts it from every starting up again. My gps seems to be working much better now.

I drove a few miles and on the Verrazano Bridge here in NY and the GPS was super percise. When I was at the end of the block it was at the end of the block as well at the same time. Not like it was before.

Now I can launch google maps and it will find me exactly in front of my house and not 200 feet away.

Takes a solid minute to lock on. Not more but not less unfortunately. So there still is a bit of a problem but for me at least it has exponentially gotten better. Versus it not even locking on previously.

I think I might be on to something. I cannot give all credit to me because I saw on a Tmobile forum someone say that they think the problem might be with the self launching apps so that's where I started to draw conclusions.

EDIT: Scratch that one min thing. It seriously just now took me 10 seconds to lock on and the GPS to start talking to tell me where to turn inside my house. Issue fixed?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
I completly removed TeleNav and I still have GPS issues... It is not any software causing this problem. It is a Hardware / Firmware / Driver issue.
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
Same here, one of the first things I did after rooting was remove all the bloatware, and Telenav was one of them.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Hmmm... Interesting.

My GPS issues seem to have disappeared after killing Telenav.

This just takes me back to the drawing board once more. I just do not understand...

I would like to see others responses. Does there happen to be vibrants with different firmwares?
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
So what happened to me? O_o

Was it some magical stroke of luck?
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Wow.

Initially, disabling TeleNav gave me a significant improvement in GPS performance. Indoors, I went from having 50-60ft. of accuracy (with multiple locks), to 12-15ft. of accuracy with a single lock. Initial accuracy was in the upper 40s, but quickly dropped to the highest accuracy I've seen with the device (the 12-15ft. figure) - indoor or outdoor - within a minute. Crazy.

Outdoor, on a perfectly clear sky, the best I've achieved was previously 25ft. of accuracy.

I rebooted (the phone froze, wheee!), with TeleNav still selected as disabled, and now, I'm only getting 30-52ft. of accuracy with a single lock. This took about two minutes to come down from 170ft. or so.

GPS settings have been switched to 'Automatic', from the stock supl server, for all of these tests.

Maps still shows me in Issaquah, initially (incorrect data), but quickly updates my position my exact location (within a few seconds). Previously, Maps would take at least a half hour to place me in even the correct city! Margin of Error: ~50ft. or so (shows me on the street, rather than on my property), within seconds.

Compass, as expected: still totally ****ing broken and ****ty. :(

I can confirm that - besides not being able to lock onto more than a single sat - I'm seeing drastic improvements. Thanks for pointing this out.

Still, I'm not sure the improvement will be enough to convince me to hang onto the device while we wait to hear from Samsung. :/
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Yea like I said in the OP the fix is better but there definitely is a problem that needs to be addressed. That might be either hardware or firmware, All thats left is to wait for sammy to fix it up. However my GPS performance for my needs is more than exceptional.
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
I have noticed that while running GPStest, Google Maps starts to work. Something is wrong with the API.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If anyone is getting black screen freeze ups, disabling GPS will clear that right up.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
And, we're back to square one. So much for that.

Location services can no longer locate me, and show that I'm in a neighboring city. Nothing I adjust fixes this for more than a short period of time.

Oh, Samsung... :(
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
It seems to me that it is definitely a software problem. I don't think the hardware is bad. (The gps chip?)

I drove for miles and had nothing. Though if I am not using GPS I always turn it off to conserve battery.

I wonder if they can't even find the issue yet. It will probably be fix in the 2.2 update.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I removed TelNav within 4days of owning my phone and it really for me hasn't changed a thing.

What helped me was turning off the wireless location feature. From what I noticed it looks for your location based off the cell towers first then it looks for your location via GPS. If its slow to find you via wireless then well its slow to find you via GPS too.
