[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
downloading the data map solves the FC issue. But I would say don't bother with this apps because it's developed by Agis, and we all know how crappy Agis is for their navigation software. It's a big disappointment with this Android release of theirs, considering that they had been in the GPS Navigation business for the last 5 years (or more).

Brut Google Navigation is hundred times better than NavFone, or if you prefer something that doesn't require constant download of map, try Sygic, which I had. Even Ndrive do a much better job than NavFone. While the latter two are paid apps, there's a reason why it's so, and NavFone is free (for now).

I tried to reinstall but it still FC after it appears the downloading popup. I realised it does create a Navfone folder automatically in my file system, which is the same folder you have uploaded, maybe the folder which i have downloaded is corrupted, shall try to redownload. Thanks!

So am i right to say that i download the given zip file and just replace the headerfile.txt file in the automatic created folder Navfone? I have tried copying over the whole folder but still the application gets FC. LOL.

Edit : Yep yep i finally gt it to work after i replaced only the headerfile.txt file in the folder which is automatically created and the application started to download the maps and files needed. YAY! haha.. Thank You :)

Pushed the power button this morning and no response, thought the battery had run right down, so plugged it in and it booted to the dell screen then froze, removed battery and replaced it, booted no problems at all, still 60% battery left :confused:
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Once, I think it's because the device has flexed or got jolted at some point and the backplate contacts have come apart briefly. The only way to get it to switch on was to remove the battery and refit it.
[Streak 5 General] yokuoh:
I've had this too, but not after a jolt or flex - noticed it after waking up on a morning - Streak had been on bedside table with good charge.

I've had this maybe twice since having the device.

edit to add:

The only difference is my device did not freeze on boot.
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
yep - every time i power it down and leave it for a bit, it will only fire up again if I take the back off, pop the battery out and put it back in.

The LEDs come on, but it goes no further unless I do the above. Annoying but I can live with it for now (not sure what the wear and tear issues could be over the life of the device tho?)

did it on 1.6, still does it on O2 2.1
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
That's what's i was thinking, that stupid backplate! it may have moved 1mm and caused error :mad:

I posted a comment once about supergluing the fu%$er, might try myself.
[Streak 5 General] neotarum:
Yep, sadly had the same problem. The worse thing is it did this the first time I turned it on. Done the same thing again this morning after simply switching it off.

Hopefully it won't be annoying or we will learn how to avoid it - backplate seems to cause the problem but I didn't even drop it or mishandle it in anyway - just merely switched it off and on again...
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
If the backplate is the problem, I can see it becoming a real issue, mine is definitely a looser fit than it was a month ago.
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
This just happened to me this morning. I went to bed around 2am with 90% charge and woke up 8am off on totally drained. The phone was lying on the carpeted floor with no movement. Powered back up and on with icons all messed up.
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
had this couple of times day, not the first by a long shot. its the back plate for sure. it flexes just a tiny bit and thats enough to make it shut down. pretty shoddy design
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
I really don't see how it could be the cover. Second day in a row I went from full charge to dead when I woke. It was on the floor the whole time and never touched. Then I charged it and the screen would not respond. So I hit power and then it would not come on again until I pulled the battery. Now, I'm just going to try powering down every night. If it's dead I just leave it at home for the day.....such a waste.

By chance did you recently change your WiFi access point setup? Or recently attach to it? Your WiFi / router may be firewalling your outbound access. I figured this out after a lot of time banging my head with the same problem.

Even more bizzare was that once connection attempts occurred on my WiFi, just shutting off the WiFi did not resolve like I thought it would. I figured it would go to the 3G to continue... but you actually would have to power down the phone (battery out) to get it going.

Ultimately, I had to open up my port access (outbound) for my phone.

Hi franzfume,

can you please explain "broken USB connector" a little more?

Maybe I can help out. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
If you can charge the phone, the USB port can't be broken... Are you sure it's not your PC?

Also, OTA depends on your carrier. It may take longer than a computer-based upgrade.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
Hi iead1,

I'm not sure, but I think you misread: "I charge the battery in a wall charger".

If I get it right, he takes the battery out of the phone and charges it separately.

I think more of a USB connector, which is ripped of the PCB.

Maybe it can be resoldered.

but that would be a very uncommon failure for this phone, as the connector is very good soldered:

Maybe it's just a defective Cable? :confused:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:

I'll add though... microUSB was designed to withstand much more abuse than regular USB, due to it's use in phones and always being inserted/removed.

Sent the phone back to SE last Monday evening. Recieved back a brand new X10i this AM. No paperwork was included to say that it was a new phone but the IMEI and SN were different to the 1 I sent in!

Be warned when plugging in for "flash update" the USB port can fail; be very very gentle; much easier to remove the little rubber port cover first (which can be replaced)

I bought the phone from eBay for less than 1/2 price of RRP and was worried warranty would be no good... a needless worry!

I was searching for info for someone who had bought in Dubai but was now in Far East. If you go to SE's website and seach for X10 warranty you should be able to download a PDF. This is on Page 14....

*Geographical scope of the warranty

If you have purchased your Product in a country member of the

European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland or the Republic of

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox*:
I seem to have the same problem that many of the members here have, but I am experiencing things that I did not see in the thread (which might just be because of my lack of knowledge about these phones; sorry about any ignorance I have).

So last night, I plugged my phone in, but it wouldn't charge (the yellow-orange light came on, however), in fact it seemed as if my battery was actually losing juice exceedingly fast. I just figured it was the port being faulty, as I have recently had to wiggle it around to get a good connection like many others here have. In the morning, I wake up to find my phone dead. I try to turn it on, it doesn't. The charger light also is not lit. I have tried it with two different cords from two different chargers as well as my computer; it has no effect. The only thing that happens is that when I unplug the cord, the indicator light blinks red three times, why is that?

I have no warranty as I have dropped the phone in water (about two and a half months ago; put it in rice, ended up only with very slight cosmetic damage on the screen) and have had the phone for just over a year (AT&T, America). Rooted and 2.1 (flashed).

If any more information is needed, I'll inform the best I can. Thanks in advance for your time.

SE x10 has a common problem with usb breaking or more tearing off the pcb.Most of the time cannot be easily fixed while the solder pads are torn off the pcb.

I dont know the exact date ,but i can look it up tomorrow,x10 before that date can be repaired in warranty.If the x10 has a resin blob on the usb connector and it is still broken off,this is user abuse and won be repaired under warranty.

SE (europe) has 2 years and 3 months warranty,Lookup by product code ,something like 10W35 which means week 35 2010.

That was my first thought, but it's been over two months since I dropped it in water; I don't know why it would take this long to manifest problems.

it just means your battery is completely dead, mine did the same.

For those who haven't found a solution for there x10, you can bye a universal battery charger. You have to take out the battery to be able to charge. It's not ideal but it's solution that cost me 6€.

Since SE refuses to repair the phone, I mailed my vendor (Orange) to tell them about the problem. I am still waiting for an answer. If I don't get an answer by Monday or Tuesday I'll send them a later with a response time of 15 days. I have already contacted a government service (DGCCRF) here in France. They told my that they can't intervene directly but they told me about the legal actions I can take against them.

I can not charge my phone via cable, and i bought an external charger. However, I am stuck with custom rom and can not put the phone to factory settings. I know, there is a post who tells you how to put the phone without USB cable but is seems like a big hassle.

SE said, they would not fix my phone since I bought x10i version, and they do not cover as this phone belongs to Malaysia. Who gives a damn, this is their phone and they need to honor their product but of course since they are PO$, they wont. There is no way I am buying another Sony phone even if it is made of gold. Screw them.
