[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remedy22:
The refurb I got from my sprint store this morning is a hardware version 003 running eclair (2.1). Keep in mind that it will most likely take a few days for them to get a replacement in from the warehouse for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remedy22:
I thought assurion only handled insurance claims?

I didn't bother to make a scene about getting a refurb since it was essentially my fault that the phone was bricked to begin with. I was happy to get a working phone without any out of pocket expense. I would have been happier if it was a brand new one obviously. My only complaint about the refurb is that the kickstand has a few scratches on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
2.1 eclair, well sounds like you can at least get rooted then, lol, get to it, seriously right now.:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remedy22:
I'm holding off for now hoping that someone will buy it off me so I can get an epic. I got to play with one this morning and I think I'm in love.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Systemfraud:
Should I go to the sprint store orhave them mail me a new one? I just want to be able to get root back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZoinksS2k:
I went to a Sprint repair center in the Dallas/FT Worth area this afternoon. I've got two bright spots on the screen itself and some separation at the base of the phone.

They didn't have any phones in stock to replace it, so they gave me the option to have the screen replaced or to replace it when they get one in stock. To prevent losing root, I opted for the screen replacement option.

While discussing the repair, the rep said that the screen replacement part includes the plastic screen cover, the LCD panel and the outside bezel. Fixes both problems.

Oddly, they would do the full replacement if the only issue I had was the separation problem. Apparently they can fix the light leakage problem, but only at another facility. To keep clients happy, they replace the entire phone.

The screen replacement is a 5 minute job, or so I was told.

Long story short, you shouldn't have any problems getting it replaced. The Sprint people are aware of the issue. However, you will get a refurb or new unit and may get a Froyo 2.2 OS build that can't be rooted (yet).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Systemfraud:
Yeah, I don't think they'd cause a huge problem. Well, I'll give sprint a call tonight and see what they tell me.
[XPERIA X2 General] needmoregigs:
Sony is replacing my X1a with an X2a. I had very little interest in the X2a so I am not well informed about this phone.

Should I be happy? I really love the X1. I supplement my nexus one with it when I travel.

I would really love to hear from X1 users who have migrated to the X2. Thank you.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Heh it's a "stinky" subject here.

I mean basically we cannot say different: SE screwed this.

Because they didn't release finished Firmware.

And that is the shame. Big shame.

I did convert from X1 to X2.

And to be honest, in almost every area X2 is better than X1.

Screen, construction, camera, UI, Qwerty keyboard.

I use it as my device.

Besides stability.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
Simple:

X1 = Hardware: FAIL / Software: OK

X2 = Hardware: OK / Software: FAIL

Al least, you can protect an X1 with cases. But, the X2 is a excellent phone when it's turned off. :D

Cheers.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well, I can say I use it as my only device.

And if I reboot it every few days, it's flawless.
[XPERIA X2 General] needmoregigs:
You guys are funny. I had a good laugh because I know the xperia series all have some quirks. Thanks for the info.

I read some reviews saying the screen response was worse than the X1. Any opinions?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Why laugh? I was trying to be informative.

The screen in the latest FW is OK, slightly worse than X1,

or actually I'd say different: X1 required very short touch to response,

X2 requires longer taps. But works well.
[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
the shop gave me x2 in february when they couldnt repair my x1. but if i knew then what i know now about x2 i would rather ask them for moneyback or some other high end device.

X1 in 2009 was a great phone (still my favourite), but x2 in 2010 is hardwarewise a midle range phone (almost the sam cpu and ram as htc tattoo). pricewice is a high end phone. software vise is an sorry excuse for a phone.

i would never take the x2 in february with the experience i have now with it.

i cant imagine that some folks had to pay for this phone (if i can even call it that). its like 400-500€ that got trown away.

my opinion.
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
I think that the bad opinion about the X2 is due to the old firmwares.

I bought mine 10 days ago and I'm happy with it.

The X2, now, is far from perfect, but isn't absolutely a crap phone.

It is doing everything I need (other than pbap) and I'm still using it instead of the milestone, although the latter is now almost perfect on the sw side, and has a powerfull HW.

I'm still prefer the X2 over the milestone, because the keyboard, because the optical Dpad available in portrait, because I can choose between operamini and opera mobile, because the battery life, because the form factor, because I can watch almost any movie w/o any conversion process, and last but not least, because I don't like the "bigbrotherness" of the android devices.
[XPERIA X2 General] needmoregigs:
I've been using SE phones for a very long time so I know how they operate. I like their phones and try to be lighthearted when trying to deal with either their software or hardware shortcomings. Thankfully we have awesome contributors here at XDA who help address these flaws.

I appreciate everyone who took time to read my post and then reply. I will be delving deeper into this forum when I get my hands on the phone.
[XPERIA X2 General] parkarintl:
You must take X2.

Brother in my opinion you must take X2. its a great phone.

Doesnt matter about software soon we are going to get fix for everything..as you have been using X1 you must be knowing that it' software was also crappy in the starting but updates and contributions by developers made it the best phone...i hope n sure that same thing wil happen with X2.

But decision is yours..you cant get any other high-end product from SE. as X2 is the product whether its rate, camera, screen resolution etc.:)
[XPERIA X2 General] amk:
i use x2:

- screen size (HD2 is too big)

- qwerty

need a little more stable and it will be perfect :p
[XPERIA X2 General] hwy7.fox:
Hmmm X2...

I love my X1 to death. I've had it since it was first released! I bought the X2 recently, prepping it as a gift for my significant other. OMG, I'm having a hard time navigating through this thing; menu lagging and slow, confusing options.

I'm so used to the typical WM6 today screen, I'm still looking into the X2 having it.

Its not a bad decision to 'upgrade', but just takes time to get used to I guess.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
The classic today is still there.
[XPERIA X2 General] needmoregigs:
Hahaha. I know exactly what you are talking about. I flashed a 6.5 rom for the X1 a while back. I used it for a few weeks and gave up. I went back to the stock rom and couldn't have been happier. I liked the X1's today screen because all notifications are conveniently on the main screen.

Oh well time to get used to another interface.
[XPERIA X2 General] needmoregigs:
The replacement came in

Well, the replacement phone came in. I have to say that the firmware that came stock with the phone was terrible. It was absolute trash compared to the X1's. I've updated to the latest firmware on 8/26 which I'm assuming is the MR2 referenced here in the forums. It's much faster and more stable than stock. I could say that I can actually work with the thing.

Quick questions:

1. I looked in the FAQs and the last post update was in may. Should I apply the X2 SDfix.cab as recommended or has there been more developments since then?

2. Will some of the functions of XperiaTweek work with the X2 if I install it?

3. Is registry hacking still needed for the accelerometer and gps?

4. Will cleartemp still work?

P.S. I didn't expect the phone to be completely crappy out of the box. Now that I've experienced what you early X2 users have gone through, I wouldn't find your situation humorous.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
SDFix is a MUST.

ClearTemp works perfect..

GPS I don't know.......

Accelerometer can be enabled by SE app available in PlayNow.
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Gps works perfectly with most sw navigon/igo8/tomtom and so on.

With older sw you need to configure the gps to use the old styled serial port (eg: com4) instead of the newer gpd device.

Metamorph giving error not enough space in /system.

Any solutions?
[General Questions and Answers] BigMikeyVegas:
We have a discussion going on that I thought the great minds here may have some input on. Is there a way/app that will allow you to control your phone from a remote pc (i.e. RealVNC)? This can be any smartphone. Secondly, if you can use this app to connect/control your phone, can you then remote control a pc via bluetooth?

Scenario. I want to run a location based app and I am on vacation in florida. I log into my laptop and connect to my phone which is located next to my home pc. Then, using a bluetooth connection, remotely control my pc.

The constraint is that the location based app would launch a secure vpn connection, hence why we cannot connect directly to the pc via a remote session.

We would like to see if there are ways and test them. Nothing like trying to beat the system.

Hi everyone

I posted earlier asking for help on rooting and flashing custom roms. I was kindly given the link to the complete guide in the desire development section.

I followed all the steps and successfully created a goldcard and flashed the device with the stock rooted desire rom, however that's as far as I got as now my phone's screen won't work at all. This is what makes me think it's an SLCD model as I've heard such problems as well.

I've tried using unrevoked to flash the slcd modified recovery image, that doesn't work either. I've all drivers installed correctly and followed everything precisely.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What rom exactly did you flash with?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
I followed this guide theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire

Basically I got as far as applying a stock Desire rom that was rooted. After that the screen no longer works. The phone itself works as unlocking and locking prompts the phone to light the hard buttons and also receiving calls work.

At this pointI'm not fussed if someone can tell me how to put a rom on there that will work whatever it be, i'll ust have to do it blind as I can't use the screen. I've got the goldcard ready.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Hi there,

My friend has a Rogers HTC Dream with the dreaded 911 patch. I noticed in the forums that the "exploid" hack worked to gain root, and I see there is a whole upgrade guide to Cyanogen and such.

I was thinking of what would be the "safest" upgrade path. I was going to suggest to my friend:

1) Follow the instructions as far as gaining root, pause.

2) Take a full Titanium Backup to SD.

3) Continue with the custom recovery, boot into it, pause.

4) Full nandroid backup to SD.

5) Continue with flashing the SPL, Cyanogen etc., boot into it.

6) Restore apps + data selectively as needed, using Titanium.

I figure this covers all the bases - most important data (aside from home screens) is covered by Titanium; and if there is anything seriously wrong, he could revert to the old nandroid backup.

Any thoughts on this? Would it work to restore a nandroid backup of his 1.5 system over top, or would he have to change anything else for the revert to work?

1. xip is made up of 2 main parts -- one is msxipkernel, which is build specific and can be used on all devices. the other is oemxipkernel, which is device specific. to port xip, you need oemxipkernel from your device and msxipkernel from specific build you are porting. It used to be a very complex process to port xip, but most moderns kitchen make it very easy.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
There may be similar files in the operator packages with a similar naming convention and reg edits to use the custom att.cpr files iunstead of the WM files. Search the rom for all .cpr files, and see if you can find the att custom ones, then just rename them to the default windows name and replace. You can modify .cpr files with notepad -- they are just xml files.

Yes, just replace 0804 with 0409.
