[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chazmojo@:
thanks for that. i only have o2 postpay gprs. when i manually loaded the o2 mms apn settings with o2 instructing me we saved it and it appeared in the list but there was no little green button on the right to set it. whenever i pressed it it took me into settings so i could edit it. whenever i pressed the menu key the only options i get is new apn, discard apn or save apn. pressing default just gives me o2 postpay gprs. this is when o2 said i need the unlatching code to access software from orange and it has to be the owner and account holder. as i bought the phone from ebay waiting for a response from seller but not holding out much hope that he'll help. :(
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Delete all the APNs then download the settings again using the SimTool kit. The checkboxes in the APN aren't for selecting which settings you use, they're just to show which are being used.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chazmojo@:
thanks. have just this second sorted it. kept the original apn but added 2 more i found on the forum. they came under o2 apn settings. very happy now and thanks to all that have offered advice. now i would like to learn how to create my own themes so thats my next adventure.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Nice 1, I thought what you said O2 had told you was a load of boll&*ks. Good luck with the theming, I keep meaning to give it a go, but knowing how to open and edit APK's does for me.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chazmojo@:
i'm persistent if nothing else. opening and installing apk's is usually my limit too, but determined to try.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chazmojo@:
hi all, i'm back with the blonde questions again. have tried a search and contacting o2 but no good. when i take pictures or receive an mms, they appear in mediascape no prob. only is when itry to save or move them to the sd card i can;t find this option. alsowhen i go to view them on the sd card i have 3 folders. dcim, camara and pictures. when i open any of them all i get is NO FILES SUPPORTED. so where are they saved. not on the phone memory either. music files are also the same. in mediascape but can,t find on sd card. any suggestions please. :confused: :D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] urs74:
Are you using the stock camera app? when I take pics with vignette it saves it in a vignette folder on my SD card.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chazmojo@:
yes using bog standard camera. do i need software to prepare my sd card for this, read something somewhere about sdk preparing.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chazmojo@:
just downloaded the trial version of vignette and same thing. when i open sd card and access the vignette folder all i get is NO SUPPORTED FILES. any ideas anyone.

Ok, so this seems to be the official keyboard thread so apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I know it's been asked but I can't for the life of me find the thread!

What I want is the original 1.6 Sony keyboard. I know, I know, it's awful but it has cursor keys... which make the wordpress app so much easier to use.

I did a full Titanium backup before upgrading so in theory it should be stored but I can't see it in the uninstalled list.

Failing that... is there another keyboard with cursor keys? An up key might make using the terminal less of a chore!

Edit: ok, so it would appear an up key wouldn't help as I discovered after installing chewitt's theme manually, as there's no up when running the shell remotely on a pc... still left and right would help with wordpress.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] urs74:
Have you tried smart keyboard it has cursor keys not right on the keyboard but tapping on the numbers key then the <> key get's you to the cursor keys. Oh by the way it costs $3 cnd Same with Smart Keyboard Pro forget how much it cost me but it also has cursor keys.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] curious_yellow_eyes:
Thanks, I'll try it out when I get paid :-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] curious_yellow_eyes:
Is there no folder called ANDRO1? Should be in DCIM. mms I think you have to save manually. I had the same trouble finding pictures received through Bump, took me hours to work out where it stores them. The gallery, apps don't tell you where they are stored... alternatively try plugging it into the computer and running a search from there?
[Desire General] Jacob_K:
After 18 months in contract with T-mobile (UK), with my awesome G1, the contract has ran out.

I have now upgraded to a htc desire, but with a 24 month contract :/ (but i survived with the G1 for 18 months, so 24 with a desire should be a piece of cake :D).

Its on pre-order, again, but i have priority and I was told I will get a text within 7 days telling me my desire has shipped :D.
[Desire General] htc fan89:
Hope you enjoy it like the rest of us are
[Desire General] _Crusoe_:
I came from a touch plus (which broke) before I got my Desire, they tried the 24 month contact BS with me too so I went out of contract for a month or two (with a discount on my line rental) and got my phone for free on an 18 month contract with reduced line rental. Also T-Mobile didn't have any desire's in stock but told me if I could source one from a T-Mobile store I could go and collect it from there. 10 minutes with a list of local stores and I had my phone waiting to be collected.

Moral of the story, NEVER accept your phone companies first offer!

P.s is it too late for you to do something similar? I'm pretty sure you haven't accepted your new contract until receipt of the new handset. If you can handle another month or so of your G1.
[Desire General] pav4n:
I would not get your hopes up, I ordered an upgrade (through retentions) one week ago, was told I would have the phone wednesday, phoned and they said they had no stock and did not know when more would come in!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
Are those all the best versions I can get? I'm hoping to get something a little more smooth, maybe better on battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You could try the 5.08 radio instead, not seen anything to indicate that FRG33 is any better than FRF91 could try if you like.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtw4991:
I would root the phone and put CyanogenMod 6.0 on it and it will open up a whole new world to you. Word of caution: read, read, read and educate yourself before flashing ROM's, kernel or anything else. Also, unless you are very comfortable using adb...don't mess with your radio as screwing up is the only way to brick your phone. Good luck!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
My phone is rooted, I'm not sure about installing cyanogen or about how to change kernels though, and someone told me Cyanogen had really bad battery life, which is something I really want to be good.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
I went through two batteries yesterday. I wasn't running it hard or anything. I do have all the bells and whistles going though.

I'm sure there is a battery thread for CM6, I'll look and see what I can find.

Regardless of the battery life it would be hard to switch back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtw4991:
If you have Amon_Ra's or Clockwork Recovery installed, just download CM6 and either Wildmonks or Pershoots oc'd/uv kernel and flash them thru recovery. First, back up your apps, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik-cache, wipe battery stats, then flash CM6 then kernel then 08172010 Gapps and reboot!

There are lots of threads dedicated to walking you thru each step.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You could also flash ROMs other than CM6. Enomther's feedback suggests MUCH better battery life and smoother ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
i second that. Enom's rom is a must!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I've heard a lot about both of their Tom's but I don't actually know how they compare to eachother in terms of features and performance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Nobody can tell you that objectively since there are no objective head-to-head comparisons using specific set-ups, but only those that users do for themselves . From user comparisons you can gain some of the info you're looking for. You should probably try them and decide for yourself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
To be fair I don't know a feature list of either Cyanogen or Enom. I went on the Cyan site and clicked features but it just shows a video.

I just want something with good battery life!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Honestly, the best battery life is found using a stock rom. FRF91 or FRG33. You won't be able to use any of the great features that you'll find in Enom or Cyan's roms.

Personally, I don't see any adverse affects on battery life with either. You just have to test them out for a day or two under normal conditions. It's not the instant answer you were looking for, but that's how we all know what rom's we prefer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
Isn't there just a plain old feature list to look at?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emul8or:
UV

If you like your current setup and just want better battery life you can flash a custom Under Volted kernel.

Many Rom threads have a list of features in the first or second post
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
I have always found Enom to be more stable and better battery. The current "stable" CM6 is no where near as stable as Enom's 2.11.x and the battery life of Enom is better, however, the most recent CM6 has some more features that Enom does not yet have, one of them being WPA2 Enterprise support.
[Galaxy Spica General] schermvlieger:
Hi all,

I am trying to find out how widespread the GPS locking problems are with this model. I am talking about non-assisted GPS, which can be tested using the "GPS Test" application on the market.

So, how is the GPS on your phone performing using GPS Test? Please give some detailed information like lock time, number of sattelites, urban/countryside location, and if possible firmware version of your phone.

---

My Spica cannot get a lock at all, will see up to 11 satellites but most of them with signal strength bars at zero. Firmware versions tested (all same result)

1.5 (XEJB2)

2.1 (XXJD1, XXJD4, XXJF2, XXJC3)
[Galaxy Spica General] niiico69:
Same pb with my wife's spica. Samdroid version with FE7.

Can't lock withour assistance. What a pitty.
[Galaxy Spica General] Kag:
Go to your Settings -> Date & Time -> Uncheck Automatic and see if it helps

Or you can try this (need root)

http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/gps-speedup-1262/

http://forum.samdroid.net/f10/fasterfix-1747/ <-- same but easier
[Galaxy Spica General] AfzalivE:
i can get a fix under 2 minutes if I stay still...moving, it can take an eternity
[Galaxy Spica General] Kag:
http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/gps-speedup-1262/ <-- if you're willing to root you can edit it to your location.
[Galaxy Spica General] AfzalivE:
i just don't bother with that any more...I might do it again after a month without wiping any data :p

rooting is like breathing to me ... as it would be to most of the people here :D
[Galaxy Spica General] Zitko:
Anyone found a solution yet?

My spica wont connect via gps either. It just keeps blinking and nothing happens...not even after 30min.

I've tried GPStest and it reports that 12 satellites are in view but non in use, and there is no bars everything is at 0...not picking any signal at all :S

I tried my friend's one too and he gets a signal imediatley and a lock after about 10-30seconds.

Any solution to this? Is it a software problem or hardware problem?
[Galaxy Spica General] schermvlieger:
I installed the alpha CyanogenMod 2.2 and GPS is working like a charm!

Problem was with the wrong libraries being used in many of the custom roms found at SamdroidMod. Devs found out about this issue and fixed it in this 2.2 release.
[Galaxy Spica General] Zitko:
I'm running original firmwire which i got on the phone. (XXJE4)

I'm not willing to install alpha cyanogen of froyo yet...Is there really no other solution? I've had a chance to compare my spica to another one with original firmwire (JE4 too) ant that other spica worked while my gps had no lock. Also i had the chance to try one with samdroid on and it worked too.

Mine works from time to time. at the moment it works, earlier today it wouldn't get a lock no matter how long i waited.
[Galaxy Spica General] gen_scheisskopf:
First thing-delete /data/xtra.bin- this is data for agps which seems to cause gps locking problem. You can do it with RootExplorer/SUFBS or any file manager with root rights. Or use GPS Status and Reset agps data from setting. You can also try to swap libsec-ril.so, JF2 version works best for me. If you want I can provide update packages for libsec-ril.so
[Galaxy Spica General] zlm2012:
i have installed cyanogenmod 7.1 on mine, and can get a lock under 1min30s outside or under 3min in the bus near the window.
[Galaxy Spica General] wicem:
I have a rooted spica with android version: 2.2.2, baseband version: i570EXXJC1, kernel version:2.6.29 and Mod version:SamdroidMod-2.2.2-a9.

When I go to google maps app and click set location I always get an error saying: location temporary unavailable ! I checked the option on Settings->Location and security->Use wireless networks and use GPS satellites. And my phone is connected to the internet.

I just bought the phone last week, and its really embarrassing not getting this to work.
[Galaxy Spica General] donjohnson2:
thanks for the useful info, you saved my life by this post.

i thought my gps is wrong in my spica then it was just a bug in the cooked rom. cyanogen mod is cool and gps is working now perfectly.

thanks again!
[Galaxy Spica General] maxoooo:
With spicagenmod + hp/yonip kernel gps work very well.
[Epic 4G General] hal1974:
I got the Epic 4G on the 31st, but out of the box I can't seem to get voice dial or voice search working. I'll click on voice dial and it will say "listening" but it doesn't really hear anything. Eventually, it just times out and says "try again". The same goes for voice search. It prompts me with "Speak now" but eventually times out and says "No Speech Heard". It's as if the mic isn't working. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the mic because I can have phone conversations without any problems. So, I don't think it's a hardware problem. It seems like this is some kind of bug in the software. I don't see any settings for these apps that I can modify. Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions for fixing?
[Epic 4G General] hal1974:
Nevermind

I seem to have figured out the problem. If I turn off my bluetooth headset, the voice search and voice dial work. Apparently, it cuts off the mic on the phone when a headset is paired. I'm a little disappointed because Voice Command on my windows mobile devices didn't have this problem. If I initiated voice command on the phone, the mic on the phone would still work. If I initiated voice command from my headset, it enabled the mic on the headset.

I see no options in Android to initiate voice search or voice dial from the headset. Since I normally have a headset paired at all times, I guess I can't use these apps. Bummer.
[Epic 4G General] Hanson68:
Coming from winmo, I have to say that the only thing I miss and the only thing that winmo did better than android is voice dial. Android voice dial, even in froyo and even with Vlingo does not give you a true hands free experience because you cannot initiate it without launching the program from the screen, and it will not confirm by voice -- you have to confirm with a screen press or cross your fingers and let it autodial. Very disappointing.
[Epic 4G General] Ken B:
Disoppointed with voice recording/dialing.

I sure was hoping that 2.2 would fix the voice dialing also. This may make me take the phone back before the 30 days are up. The voice MEMO is also a problem. Go to notes and try to do a voice memo...it's hit or miss and when you do see the mic recording, it will only record for a few seconds and then a screen comes up that says it cannot connect to the server. What's up with that. Very disappointed with the voice recording/dialing features of this phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoss15:
I just recently rooted my phone and wanted to know if there was anyway to add more functionality in the way of WiFi connections.

I was extremely disappointed when I got to university this year and the phone wouldn't work on the 802.1x WiFi network we use, where as my iPod worked flawlessly.

It also didn't seem to work on an ad hoc network I tried to setup to use the phone as a remote control.

I'm currently running the latetest Fresh rom but it doesn't seem to add these capabilities, though I could be wrong. Does anyone know a way to add them?

[General Questions and Answers] JirkaS:
Dear XDA-masters,

I've researched that my apps running in background are immediately stopped when my HTC Raphael (WM6.5.3, Timolol's Stock-Like ROM) becomes connected to paired PC via Activesync. There is no memory lack (still approx. 80MB free) and no app which could stop other processes. This only happens during Activesync connection - via USB and also via Bluetooth connection. Have you discovered similar behaviour? Is there any solution to not kill apps other than Activesync when sync connection is established?

As I remeber, this happens since WM6 on my device. All killed apps are running from device internal memory...

Thank you fo any advice!

Here's a dump of clean 8105 (official O2 2.1) firmware:

Streak_8105_img.zip

You may use it as a base for mods.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
Dump as in nandroid, or you extracted the. Pkg

If the second then how?
[Streak 5 Android Development] smokku:
I manually dumped (cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/boot.img) boot and recovery after rooting the device. Then reflashed pkg and clockwork, and dumped system and userdata.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
damn i was hoping you'd worked out how to get into the .pkg ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
just thinking if we can unyaffs the recovery from a stock, we may be able to work out how they extract it..

Is update.pkg something specific to Dell Streak?

Googling "update.pkg" gives references related to Streak only...
[Streak 5 Android Development] egzthunder1:
Thread temporarily stuck.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
yeah it's an odd file system,

OSx and PS3 also use ,pkg files, but neither seem to have any relation to the update.pkg that we're getting from Dell.
[Streak 5 Android Development] smokku:
I agree with you that it probably is a binary that takes over the device and puts things in correct places.

If you observe the update process it does a lot of things.

The binary approach gives a lot of flexibility and you do not have to relay on features built into the firmware.
[Streak 5 Android Development] geek78:
Maybe this can help.... This is not a dump but the update.zip extracted from the update.pkg. You will see that it is the usual format of an update under android. There is also the baseband update in the zip.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9A1QI7PM
[Streak 5 Android Development] smokku:
We are more interested in the extraction procedure. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] geek78:
Ah ok. You have to try to update a device with the wrong device type build. When you have the message "bat Fota ..." take out the battery. In the SD card you will have a file update.pkg.dec. This is a zip of a "standard" pkg file (under OSX you can expand this pkg file extracted). Credit to Clus3R ;)

Yes but you have open up your hd2 and solder new smd (very small) leds to a small pcb. I don't think it is worth the trouble.

You can also paint the leds inside with transcluent dye but this will reduce their light output and still requires opening the case and disecting everything.
