Ok so I'm currently running super rooter with JH3 and for some reason if I connect my phone to my PC at work it sees the storage as a disk just fine. HOWEVER when I connect it to my Mac, for some reason my Mac doesn't see it... I know it's connected because my phone starts charging and asks if I want to mount the disk... when I choose yes, nothing happens, it doesn't show up on my Mac... Any ideas why the PC would show it but the Mac doesn't?

Would you flash kernal the same way as a ROM? For example, using MyFroyo6 can it be overclocked? I see there's a kernal available for DL does that mean it can be used with vitrually any ROM?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkey72:
Yes, flash through clockwork. Don't wipe. Back up first that way if it does not work you can restore.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpudZooka:
Ok so I did that (prior to reading this and backed up just in case). How do I know if it worked? There is no program that comes with it? Do I use a program from the market place? Does the ROM have to support it or does it work with any rom?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkey72:
Use setcpu from the marketplace. It will detect your settings. If it worked, it will go up to 806 if its still at 600 then it did not work. As far as I know it will work with all ROMs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
you can either get set cpu from the market or for free from the developer right here in the forums... if you get it from here in the forums I would bookmark the page to check for updates as they won't show up under "downloads" in the market.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] geon106:
I have an old touch pro laying around doing nothing and thinking of putting Android on it. However being quite a small screen, i was wondering if there was any Android builds for it that have a similar interface to the X10 Mini Pro? I.e 4 buttons in each corner of the screen?
[HD2 General] tiho5:
Guys,

I have 2 HTC HD2 phones. Both are running the same ROM (Energy Dink Glass), the same settings and apps. Everything from the first phone is cloned on the second one down to the smallest thing. In fact even when I bought them they had the same official 1.66... ROM and were from same batch according to production time and etc.

Despite that I am noticing a big difference in the display colors (regardless of which ROM they are working on). One of them is much more vibrant and its display gamma is much more colorful and appealing. Has anyone noticed anything similar? Why is this so and can it be changed (controlled).

If it was possible to increase the contrast or the gamma or the colors like one would do this on his home TV (or a pc) I was going to change the colors of the second phone too.

But I guess a software is needed to do this? Does anyone have an idea if it is possible to manipulate the display general properties?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calacon:
Hi everyone. A week ago I bought a second hand X1 from Ebay, and I love it. Everything seems to be fine except for the GPS signal. It's really weak. In the Chartcross test program, stood in the middle of my garden, I can usually eventually get a fix with two or three green bars, maybe four if I'm lucky. In the car windscreen (not touching it at all with my hand) it might just about get one green bar but no fix. The same goes for an upstairs bedroom window. I've run QuickGPS and downloaded the latest data. Is this normal? There's no way it'll ever work for car navigation if it's this bad.

I've seen that apparently the antenna is in the bottom, but I lose signal when I block the camera end, and nothing happens when I block the bottom.

In comparison, my £10 Emtac Copilot bluetooth GPS will get seven green bars within thirty seconds of a cold start while sat in my window...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Two Antennas!

Hi there! The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has two antenna modules; the one in the bottom is the cellular antenna (GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/3G/HSDPA) and the one on top (placed around the camera sensor) is the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS antenna. When you hold the phone touching the top side, you are actually attenuating the GPS signal along with that of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios.

The X1 GPS is based on the Qualcomm MSM7200x integrated chip, which is also the main CPU of the device. It is not the most sensitive in the market but still, it should be operating just fine.

If this phone had its original housing exchanged with a new one, there is a slight possibility that the top antenna module wasn't placed back properly to come in perfect contact with its contact points on the main board.

Another possibility is the connector cable; there should be a piece of isolating tape placed on top of the connector to insulate the very short and exposed length of the cable right up before it ends in the actual male connector that plugs into the main board of the phone. Its absence might result in cross-talk or interference; hence, a poor signal.

I can't think of anything else really! I hope this helps!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calacon:
Hi melaskalany, thanks a lot for that. Didn't realise the wifi/bluetooth/GPS antennas were in the top. I have no reason to believe it's had a new housing, but I'm not sure how to tell - it all feels solid enough. I had a look under the cover, but I couldn't do too much because one of the the screws on the bottom absolutely refused to turn, so I stopped before I broke it. I did manage to carefully squirt a little switch cleaner onto the contacts though. I'm not sure if that should have made any difference but it's now getting about seven green bars in the garden and about five in the car! I'll try it again tomorrow and see if it still works as well. Hmm.

I love this thing, it's like a big brother to my K550. Who would want an iPhone!? :p
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Great!

Hi again!

I'm glad it's performing better now! It's a very good phone that you build an intimate relationship with very quickly. It does have its problems; nevertheless, if you check the market now, or if you break/lose your original X1, you will buy an X1 again!

iPhones are nice in their own way/world, and in a way, I think that Apple making the iPhone is what changed the game in the mobile world in the first place and pushed various manufacturers to present us with new, top of the line devices like the X1.

I am actually considering buying the Sony Ericsson Aspen as backup for the X1. It hasn't arrived to Egypt yet, and any opinion I can form will be based on the GSM Arena review of the device. I heard it was launched in the UK. Do you happen to know anyone who has it or played with it in a store? I am worried about taking the plunge as many, many people complained about how the X2 came out completely unprepared software-wise. And since the Aspen is also running WM6.5 with similar customisation (Custom Menus, Panels, Slide View, etc...) I have my doubts...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AViP:
Hello!

I have been using Aspen for last few weeks... it is a nice device, and its system is (rather surprisingly) reasonably functional (for a such new device, that is) - basically, everything works, though the system is a little bit overloaded (there is only 55 MB free RAM after hard reset - on czech officcial ROM, though I don't think that other languages will be far too different) and specifically, the sound driver has definitelly some bugs.

But otherwise, it is OK device (however, update will be nesessary sooner or later).

Oh, and GPS works like charm, compared to my previous device (which was Asus P535) - and, GPS is connected via classical COM port (OK, so far I tested only GoogleMaps and VisualGPSCE -both work as expected- and since I have no intention to use Aspen as car navigation device, I have no further need to test its GPS).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calacon:
mmph. Tried it again in the car and it got two bars and no fix. I gave it about three minutes, should I be giving it longer than that? How long should it take!?

As for the Aspen - sorry, I have no idea, I'll leave you with AViP on that one!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Question and Oh!

Thank you for the information AVip! Can you elaborate on the bugs with the audio driver? Do all notifications sound as they are supposed to when they are supposed to? I am not going to use it as a media device anyway! Thanks in advance!

calcon: I use both Garmin Mobile XT and iGo8. During the seven days of valid Quick GPS data, I get a fix under one minute if the device was never turned off (hot start). It takes two to three minutes if the device was powered off or after a soft reset (cold start) to get a fix.

With the Quick GPS data expired, it can take up to four minutes to get a fix on a cold start. Is your house surrounded by tall buildings? The Qualcomm chip doesn't perform very well in dense urban environments and around mountains. I was driving to a city in Sinai, Egypt and it showed me driving on the sea (I wish it were possible though! :) ) when I was actually driving on this narrow road with high mountains on my right side and the sea to my left one.

I guess multiple signal reflections and echo effect can make it difficult for the chip to acquire a lock or report your location accurately!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russell.Eclair:
melaskalany, thank you for that antenna information.

Maybe we can gain the signal by avoiding that antenna things. :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AViP:
So far, I've encountered following bugs, related to sound driver:

1. when I set up notification sound for connecting to 3G/GPRS data, on second(!) attempt to connect to the network system hangs, it is almost a hardlock and it requires softreset (the factory setting is no sound for this event and I guess that SE knew very well, why they set up their phone that way - knowing that only a minority of users will ever change this setting).

2. After playing one of the built-in games (Experiment 13) and/or using YouTube Client (again, Google YouTube client is built-in), certain types of SMS notification sounds simply cease to work - so far I discovered, that affected are probably only *.wav sounds, as *.wma sounds appear to be working normally even after I play a game or YouTube video.

However, as severe as it may sound, these are relatively minor glitches and can be avoided. And of course, these are valid for czech version of the system.

Images for further assistance

Eclair: You're more than welcome. Glad to be of help. Here is how the antenna modules look like:

View attachment 393851

AVips: How about the telephony, ringer volume and battery life? I'm sorry to bother you with all these questions! Cheers mate! :D

calacon: The varying performance sounds like a hardware problem to me. Maybe you should have the top antenna module checked!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calacon:
Oh no! Don't say that! When I get my car windscreen holder through in a day or two I'll be able to give it a proper test - if it doesn't do that properly, then it's not right is it. Ugh.

Thanks for the photo. Nice to confirm which one's which.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AViP:
Phone work just fine, however switching between 2G and 3G network during call may cause some hiccups (specifically, when ending the call), but 2G-only or 3G-only enviroments are without problems, ringer sound is acceptably loud (I am using midi file which is gradually getting louder and it is loud when it is supposed to be loud, not sooner) and battery life is good (for WM touchscreen device) - after all, Aspen has 1500 mAh battery - and it shows, I am charging it roughly every other day (on average) and usually, I could probably squeeze another day out of it, but I don't like it when my phone is getting low on power (old habits gained in the glorious days of first PocketPC's die hard, I guess :D).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Thanks & Good Luck!

AVip: Thank you for your info; it has been very helpful to me and I really appreciate it! Thanks a lot man!

calacon: Keep us updated on this, will you? I'm interested in knowing whether it just needs better positioning in your vehicle or requires a hardware check.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calacon:
I have been able to try it now! It works. In the car windscreen holder I went for a short drive with Trekbuddy recording and it was fine. Looking at it on Google Earth afterwards I noticed that it was quite out of place until I drove out from next to the house. It only covers it on one side, the other three are fairly clear, so I see how it like a nice clear view. I will give it some more tries to see if it keeps working. I like how the internal GPS still spits out a proper raw NMEA stream for you to record, in fact, it's more information than I get from my bluetooth receiver. It's also nice how you can use more than one program with it at a time.

Thanks for your help, and like I said I will try it again and get back to you...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u.b.o.o.t:
Hi folks!

I bought the Aspen 1 month ago and I am very satisfied! Good build quality, superior battery runtime.

First of all, my device came with R3A and there is a firmware update available: R4A. It fixed a bug with the message list and added Office Mobile 2010.

Personally, I don't like the Xperia Panelmanager crap and got rid of it, as well as SlideView, and I also disabled the Xperia Dialer because it is unreadable at daylight.

This will free up RAM, so now I have 67MB instead of 40MB.

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.1 is preinstalled and I love it.

I've collected a bunch of hacks here: http://translate.google.com/transla.../104485-sony-ericsson-aspen-tipps-tricks.html

GPS is working very good, even inside of buildings, and fix / re-fix is very fast, making the Aspen a perfekt tool for geocaching.

Built-in speaker is pretty loud and has good audio quality.

The only issue that really troubles me is: Bluetooth connection with Becker Traffic Assist Z203 does not work at all. Pairing is ok, but I only get distorted audio. I tried many solutions like changing COD or AudioGateway-settings suggested for HTC or Xperia users, but it didn't help :(

Cheers, Andi
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AViP:
Just a quick update regarding my Aspen - there was a firmware update made available by SE recently... and after first 24h running this updated firmware, I must say, that it appears, that all bugs I described previously are gone... :)

(and this update contains also Office Mobile 2010, which is not so great, sice PowerPoint 2010 appears to have issues with bigger files, while PowerPoint 2007 opened those just fine ... but that's for another discussion... :confused: )

Previous firmware: R1AB038

Aspen Micro-SDHC Support

On Sony Ericsson's support pages, and on GSM Arena, it is clearly stated that the Aspen supports up to 16GB Micro-SDHC cards. However, on PDAdb.net, the detailed technical specification sheets of both the M1i and the M1a state that both support up to 32GB Micro-SDHC cards of the 2.0 standard (SD/HC 2.0).

SE M1 Faith Detailed Specification Sheet on PDAdb.net:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2179&view=1&c=sony_ericsson_aspen_se_faith

Now the question is this: Has anyone tried a 32GB card with the Aspen? Another good question is: Do you think it will support the new Kingston Class 10 cards? These bad asses are 3.0 compliant; do you think they are backward compatible with SD/HC 2.0 interfaces?!

I am considering buying a U.S. $90 Kingston 16GB Class 10 card off Amazon, and I don't want to shell that amount of money only to return it or leave it in a drawer to collect dust! Upon reading the reviews, I saw that an HTC EVO 4G owner verifies that the card in question does work on his phone despite the fact that PDAdb.net's detailed technical specification sheet of said phone says it has an SD/HC 2.0 interface just like the Aspen. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I'm running Android off a microSD card on my Sprint HTC Touch/Vogue. I'm curious as to whether the speed of the microSD card makes much of a difference in my experience of the 'responsiveness' of the OS. I think my current microSD card is an old 2GB one that I purchased many years ago. Wondering whether upgrading to a newer card might make things snappier.

Has anyone experimented with this?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
:) as the title says i found it interesting Stock on I9000M JH2 runs faster than Stock I9000 according to this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
A speedup of 3%.... No offence, but I can do nothing but laugh when I see excitement over such a marginal speed increase (especially in a benchmark).

It's like comparing a 1.03GHZ processor over a 1GHZ processor.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that's the point, it seems like the JH2 stock ROM is better optimized, after all it's the same hardware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
(Fixed the percentage). 3% isn't high enough to be of statistical value though. All firmware gets faster, but 3% isn't likely to be noticeable..

Furthermore, the speed increase may have come because a function which is heavily used by the benchmark program has been optimised, whilst real apps may use it less.

It's typical for firmware to get faster, but a 3% increase probably has no real-life impact on productivity on a phone (until they accumulate). And it doesn't really say the i9000M is faster in all situations. It might only be in the benchmark.

Btw, whilst I am no fan of quadrant, which version of stock rom are you comparing with? A late version, or the one shipped in the box originally?

Either way, let us know when there are MAJOR noticeable differences maybe (10% perhaps), because I wonder if simply turning on MobileAP (and streaming some traffic through) is enough to affect the scores by a few percent..
