hi tried the 2010.10.27 firmware ..but no g sensor or touchscreen working. Had to recover the flash again whith the internal trigger.

any one had sucess?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Asure:
The 27-10 firmware is for a newer revision of the X5A.

If you never had sensor before, and were running #297 or #348 variants out of the box, the chance is really high you have the older revision with no sensor/two-touch hardware.

hi Asure,

is the dl link for the rooting zip down? i get an 404 error while trying to get this file? :)

Hi.

Anywone have idea how to reflash X5A (with old hardware) after 27-10-2010 firmware?

FWDN mode won't work, touchscreen and buttons won't work :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sharkae:
Hi,

You must open your tablet (lose waranty).

Inside there is a switch. If you turn the switch the tablet will be ready for flash.

No need the touchscreen.

Best regards

Any news on 2.2 for the g-sensor x5a?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
please see http://www.slatedroid.com/hsg-x5a-x...elechips-presents-android-froyo-m701-x5a.html.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Synman:
if I follow that thread correctly they've got froyo on old and new X5A. In the past I used FWDN for all my flashing... Looks like if I take the time to revisit this tablet I'm going to have to get "real" recovery working.

My touchscreen never worked reliably on my X5A (cem201) so I'm not expecting any improvements usability wise. It's a step below my augen functional wise.

hello new here

i have this new x5a with 4gb, multitouch and g-sensor

planning to update it but seems mine has newer version

any advice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GunPR:
Wth yours have g-sensor and multitouch? with #368?

I think the latest one is rom 157 if im not mistaken.. What gives.. You are 100% sure you have an X5A with G-Sensor?

Rom #368 you can make a back up of this rom for me please? Using recovery mode?

I would love to try this rom, mine have 157 and im having serious battery issues with it.. Yours have that problem too>? Mine goes from 60% directly to 10%.

The only rom available is #157....

Like i said would be nice if you can make a backup of tha rom file for us.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jduval:
how do i back it up?

unit is new and i'm a total newbie :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GunPR:
I found a link trying to dl, i let you know thru pm tho..

You have any battery issues in that rom? Mine have very erratic readings to the point that piss me off it shutdowns @ less than 2 hrs of use without heavy usage...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jduval:
how would i test it has gsensor?

what i know is that the screen adjust to any rotation i make, 360degrees i suppose

multitouch, website zooms in and out if i pinch and unpinch

Hello, as i have mentioned in another post, i am new to androids.

I currently purchased HTC Desire and received it today via delivery.

My point is, i upgraded it to froyo 2.2; sadly, however, i do not have the voice-recognition option on the keyboard (the one which is supposed to be located to the left of the spacebar).

Can anyone help me please?

Also, I cant seem to have any notification updates in the Facebook application, any idea how i can fix that?

I got the idea of a boot splash, mixing the traditional japanese sunburst with the cyanogenmod logo. But, i dont really have any decent programs for editing photos (currently using the always-professional Paint) So i was wondering if anyone could maybe polish it up for me, and throw in the android logos in there as well (please!). Or, if anyone could point me in the right direction of a good windows photo editor. Either one would be much appreciated!

I love all the work on this forum, so i thought i might be able to contribute in my own little way. :) Thanks in advance!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Hi..

Tried the latest Android Froyo build on my phone with some interesting results.

I downloaded Froyo, copied the Android folder to my SD card, hit CLRCAD and then Haret. Froyo started booting, but after 4-5 lines all stopped. There was nothing happening after 15-20 min, so i pulled the battery, and started the phone again.

Now i get the message (in Norwegian)

"The file <filename> cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists try reinstalling or restorig the file"

The problem is that

none

of the programs installed on the SD-card runs. They all get the above error.

I can not install any programs (reg editors) because i again get the above message. My registry editor that is already installed wont work, and i can not install anything.

I have tried Googling the problem and i've also searched the forums here in XDA. But i have not found anything that actually might work, because they all wants to install something. I can not install anything, and all of my 3'rd party apps doesn't work.

How do i disable the certificate verification without having to install anything or run any 3'rd part apps??

Is there maybe any program that i can run from my Win7 computer??

Thanks for all informing answers..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rockmike:
Certificate problem?

Exactly the same thing happens to me. Bump!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galaspar:
I'm also having this problem, seems to affect .exe files regardless of whether they are on the SD Card or on the device itself. Same cause as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] juicecultus:
2 reasons may be:

Either you run a stock rom and you need to install certinstaller search here on xda or run a custom rom

Or the sdcard is corrupt so you have to reformat

When you post issues pls give details as well like what hspl, rom, radio you use so people could help you out
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Stock Rom

Hmm, yeah, it's a stock ROM (for now). I cant't install anything so the certinstaller can't help me.... Now i have to find out how to run a custom ROM.

I have also reformatted the SD-cart with no luck.

My (for now) stock phone:

Manila: 2.5.19211619.0

ROM: 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR

Radio: 2.06.51.07

:P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
Using a custom ROM as a base for Android will heed much better results.

Full instructions for flashing a custom ROM are found here (and here for TMOUS HD2).

^^^ Also I notice you have an old radio (2.06). I'm quite sure you need a 2.10 or 2.12 radio for Android...most people seem to have had the best results from 2.12. You will learn how to do that in the link above I just gave you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
As well, there are programs that allow you to edit the registry while connected via activesync that don't require installing anything on the phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Case closed

Well, it seemed like a good time to reset the phone now...

While having this problem, i upgraded the SPL with no problem.

Downloaded the newest Dutty-rom, and tried to upgrade, but because no 3'rd part progs will run, this didn't work. I had to hard reset the phone, and then upgrade the ROM and then the Radio.

Everything seems OK so far...

Thanks for all replies :)

[Epic 4G General] elto:
So far there is no confirmation from any reviewer, but it looks like the Epic's lock screen won't have any puzzle-piece like new message/voicemail notifications. Music player controls might also be missing. It may be a personal preference, but I liked the clock text and placement on the original galaxy s phone more. So, in short my question is how hard is it to bring those lock-screen goodies to Epic? Will it require lot of hard work from developers or is it relatively easier?
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
It's likely that the frameworks for the Epic are different enough from the other GS phones that it wouldn't work just by placing the APK in the right spot. It will probably take some smali/baksmali work to get it working, but this is not impossible at all. Lots of lock screen from others devices where ported to the CDMA Hero, which is what I still rock.
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
I think they will keep the music lock feature on the Epic 4G. It is a Touch Wiz 3.0 feature of which the Epic 4G has.
[Epic 4G General] elto:
Apparently we now learn that it is actually not TouchWiz 3.0, but more like version 2.5 instead. So far the difference I noticed are - different lock screen, inability to edit screens and apps in dock and contacts app is missing history tab. Hope these could be restored in Epic through developers or samsung itself.

If you're going to get an Android device and have a bit of patience, I'd say wait until Q4 2010.

I know it's a huge pain (heck, I've been playing the waiting game for years now) but it is obvious that a big technological leap is on the way: higher resolution, dual-core processors, better display technologies and Android 3.0 (which means no longer being dependent on OEMs). It's the first time in years that I can look at cell phone specs and say "Hey... this actually looks relatively futureproof".

[General Topics] lonelykatana:
I kind of feel this thread is a lost cause.

Phones (all tech for that matter) will keep being replaced. You cant buy future proof technology! A top end PC is good for what a year? two years?

A mobile phone a year if your lucky, half a year...?

A TV a few years before something better?

You cant buy a phone now, that will not be 'under-spec' in as little as two years time!

The question you should ask your self is do you really need a more 'powerful' phone, or could you live with what you have now for the next few years?

I own a HTC HD2, and I can honestly say I'll want a new, more 'powerful' phone in a few years to play higher quality video, better games ect.

But do you want that?

My dad is 'tech savi' but hes still using a Sony Ericsson K800i. Because it does everything he needs! (having said that he is getting a desire this year... lol)

As for the build quality, you'd be lucky to find any phone that wont be dead after a few years use! Unless your super careful...

Having said that, that K800i has had a hard life and still works perfectly and looks fine...

Its all about what you need from your device. Technology will just keep advancing.

I agree with the above post also, if you want something a little more 2010 and future proof, a Blackberry is a good choice too.
[General Topics] emmib:
It's best to go for the phones that are the most advanced now, such as the nexus one, desire, iPhone 4 and such, cause they will get updates for a long time, and it will be some time before they become out-dated beyond use. For example, the Nexus One and the HTC Desire shall be able to use Android 3.0, Gingerbread, while the others won't.

And go for something like Android, cause with the ROMs and such that are out there, you can easily change its ROM and it will feel like you've bought a new mobile.

Why? Because I had 2 batteries and is better first battery discharge to 0% before I started charge it.

LOL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutmegy:
it's really not a good idea to completely discharge Lithium ION batteries.. it does tend to screw them up a bit..

I used to work on batteries for a living and deep discharges are not good news.. ESPECIALLY with Li cells

"Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns"

taken from http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2007:
Thanks. Interesting. But on the other hand side some people recomend sometimes full discharges. I do not know what is true ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spl4tt:
what the f***

everybody said it would be the best to fully discharge and then fully load the battery

my experience is the same Oo but the new batteries doesnt have memory effects, thats true, and its not so bad to partial charge them yea.. but i thought it would be still better to full discharge - charge them Oo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutmegy:
That's just my experience with Lithium Ion I personally dont fully discharge because i worked on some Li cells for a project i was working on and they never recovered properly... and in some cases caused major damage to the cells themselves... just voicing my opinion :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
the main reason to do an (almost) full discharge / charge cycle with Li+ batteries is to callibrate the battery monitor circuits.

As said above there is no need to discharge Li+ batteries to prevent battery memory, , it doesnt happen with these, only NiMH batteries.

If the battery gets to 0% whilst the phone is in use, it still has some charge in it, because the protection circuits kick in and power off the phone when there is still some charge in it, so dont worry about getting to completely flat whilst in use, however forcing it to discharge, for example trying to enter bootloader over and over, or shorting the power connectors, can potentially cause problems, because the protection circuits aren't working correctly at that time.

The same goes for overcharging, you should never use direct charging devices, because these dont always have overcharge prevention circuits. You should only ever charge it in your device, or in a compatible charger. (So no building your own using two bare wires! :) ! )

I've got a Hd2 which is having a few problem connecting to the Internet. The phone was originally on Virgin network in the UK (which is essentially piggybacked on the T-Mobile network but uses different APN settings) and now I've unlocked it to run on T-Mobile UK. I've never been able to send mms's, but have been able to receive them in the past.

That was until my brother came along and in his infinite wisdom thought he could fix that and now all my Internet settings have gone. I've tried countless times to send them from the T-Mobile website and no joy, cannot download the settings.

SO now I turn to you fine gents and ladies to help me get my phone back on the Intternet please! I basically need to start it from scratch with manual settings I think but if anyone has any other suggestions please go ahead.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi mate, what you need to do is:

In Manilla goto the settings tab > Menu > All Settings.

This brings up the standard WM Settings screen.

Then goto Connections > Connection Setup and select your country and operator then click OK.

If it doesnt work then make sure you are connected to a WI-Fi connection then try again.

Then when youve successfully done this, close Connection Setup and you will be returned to the Connections screen.

Now Click Connections icon and where it says: T-Mobile Internet or Web/walk etc, Click the blue link called: Edit my proxy server.

Now uncheck the checkbox that says: This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet. (This has to be done otherwise Windows Live and Messenger wont connect.)

And you are done! :)
