[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
So if i use Titianium back up ( which I have already installed ), after I flash a new ROM, where was all my data backed upto ? The SD card ? and do I just re-install Titianium back up and re-load my data from there. My contacts are synced through G-mail which is easy. I have appbrain installed, soi thats fairly quick, its just all the other bits and pieces, like the Scenes, ring tones, etc.

I would like to try another ROM, but dont really have a spare half hour to reload it all every time.
[Touch HD General] vladino.83:
Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I'm trying it...

Last few days I'm experiencing very strange behavior of my Blackstone concerning display alignment. When I want to touch for example Sense tabs, I need to slide my finger a little bit lower than tabs really are. Or when I try to unlock my device, I need to slide my finger lower than unlock button is and so on. I don't know why is that, but it's scaring me... I'm not sure if this is hardware of software related, but when I run display alignment, it seems to be repaired. But it lasts only few seconds or minutes and after that it gets wrong again.

Could anyone help me please? I'm using Energy.BLACKSTONE.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Sep.18 ROM now.

Thanks a lot,

Vladino
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
First and most obvious query would be when did this first start, after flashing Energy rom or did this happen before? If after rom, have you tried flashing a different rom or checking rom thread for a solution? If before flashing rom, then its not related to rom and you should ask your query with General Section

Also, if my memory serves me right, a number of threads have already been created regarding screen alignment, so possibly check this forum & general forum for these threads using "screen alignment" in search

EDIT - Quick search using "screen alignment" in General section found these threads (lots more ;))

[Touch HD General] vladino.83:
Hello,

thank you for your answer. Sure I was trying to search but without any feasible success. :-/

First time it happened after two weeks using previous version of Energy ROM. I didn't know why that happened, so I have flashed newer version of Energy. But it lasts only few hours since last flashing and I have registered the same strange behavior.

I'm afraid that this is hardware related... :-/

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Whiterin:
I know people have swapfiles on their SD card... but I was wondering, would it be possible to have a swapfile/partition on the device's ROM? Wouldn't that make more sense? You wouldn't have to worry about issues with mounting the SD card, and it would be a faster transfer then with the SD card. If this can work, what would be the best way about creating a swapfile on the ROM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GinoAMelone:
Short answer: Can be done, but a bad idea.

Long answer: No one is clear whether the internal NAND has wear-leveling, and even if it does, that is a *lot* of wear-and-tear to put on the internal NAND that can't be replaced if it wears out. The slight performance improvement might come at the cost of prematurely killing you phone.

Discussed here or Cyanogen's forums a couple/few weeks ago. I think the latter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Whiterin:
That answers that I guess...lol. Haven't been able to put one on the SD card yet anyways, so something more would be out of the question. lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frolex:
Like some others I'm getting a little tired of my x10, not going to go into details about this.

BUT, I read somewhere that people are beginning to be able to run android - 2.1, 2.2, even saw 3.0 somewhere (might have been fake) - on their HD2 devices. It also seems like this is something that is improving at a constant rate.

Now, my question is, how competent would the hd2, running android, be as a replacement to the x10 (tbh to me it seems like there won't be much change with 2.1 for x10)? How do they compare hardware wise?

Anyone got any info on this?

thanks ahead of time :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
For one... 3.0 doesn't exist.

As they compare hardware wise, the HD2 has a 4.3 inch screen, does it not? To me, that's a little too large for a phone. (The X10 is already huge at 4 inches).

Otherwise, if you wanna move to an HD2 running a hacked version of Android when the similarly sized, but much more powerful Desire HD is coming out, more power to you.... I'd choose to not be stuck with "older" hardware if I were going to change phones six months after buying a different one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
I have previously owned an HD2. While, yes, you can run Android, it's not ideal. First of all, it does not have the ability to load Android in ROM. It runs it in a dual-boot mode and Android runs off the SD card. The presents a few issues and compromises of it's own. This also opens the door to some serious corruption of the device reboots or the SD card is accidentally removed while it is running.

I wouldn't recommend this at all.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frolex:
I'm aware that the htc desire hd would probably be the best choice. But the thing is, I purschased the x10 while it was brand new for around 600£, so I'm not willing to pay for a new pricey high-end phone just yet. However, I thought that I would be able to find someone willing to swap my x10 for a hd2, one for one (I wouldn't lose more money, and I would still get a new experience with a new phone running 2.2).

And regarding the size I actually think the bigger the better (TWSS..).

Any ideas on how the two phones compare in raw hardware though?

look there, a hd2 is running the htc desire hd rom. It seems relatively stable! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimche:
HD2 is a good phone with no design. HTC is not a phone designer to me. I had it when it was running WM and then ported 2.1 and 2.2 and then I moved to X10. They are sort of stable but not flawless. Hd2 is sort of big and out of proportion. Hardware specs are good but if you are willing to spend the money and move to HTC(if design doesn't bother you) I recommend to wait for the HTC HD.

You have put-up with SE for a while and if you wait for a month or so you will have 2.1.

If you are a geek and like to flash new stuff twice a day and play with them with less battery, go for it or wait for something that at least is running android originally.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I really like the HD2 running winmo alone....would I trade my X10 for it? That would depend on how much better 2.1 is gonna be.....pretty much I'm down to the fact that 2.1 will make or break the X10 for a lot of people. If 2.1 isn't that much better even after this delay ill trade it in a heartbeat for an HD2..however if 2.1 proves to be worth the wait...HD2 can kiss my ass. As for the desire hd I think id give up my X10 and an HD2 for it...that thing is gonna be a beast!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakata:
i was thinking the same thing :) and wm7 is coming out but i read somewhere there will not be a update for wm6.5 users to wm7 and when i was buying my x10 i really really was in two minds but i prefered x10 because of the upcoming update and the 16m colors and the Mt witch was going to be put in ...:confused::)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrab:
Really wanna change ??

Forget HD2

Get a full Android phone, grown up from the ground as an Android phone

Ah, and search for one with Froyo out of the box

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
The only people who said MT and 16m colors were going to be added to the phone were the people on this board.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tjotte:
+1 SE never made such statements.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongbh:
Definitely not worth even if HD2 is loaded with Android as the hardware is not as good as X10 like the battery which is still on 1230mah lithium ion battery and HD2 is only using 5MP camera while HD2 is on 8.1MP camera.

Even though Desire HD is out, it is still using the same battery as HD2 so the battery life will only have slight improvement though it is using an improved processor chip which consume less battery power.

In terms of hardware specs or technology, HTC is no way better than SE.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakata:
m8 i red it all over the network ... not only here and there was rummors and stuff and i was hoping to be true with the update ..but they r not so .... i`m very dissapointed to see the SE is **** and i only hope the devs here to be able to crack the bootloader and when 2.1 finaly came out there will be confirmation of is x10 support mt or not but i`m moving on with my life :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakata:
But in terms of software and support they are much much better and ahead and i think the combination of good hardware and very good support and software is much better successful than good hardware and poor support and software update ... and X10 is not so good made and stuff... my 1st was crap and restarted itself all the time and from the store they had to change it with my 2nd one ... i hope it will be better this time ...and anyway its a hardware ... anything can go wrong aswell the x10, htc, samsung and every device in the market :) nothing is forever .... excluding my e51 :))))))):D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cinner:
Why wouldn't you just trade it for a proper Android phone like the HTC Desire? Sell your X10, then buy a used Desire. Both phones should be worth about the same amount of money.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayman1986:
Get a milestone 2 that's going to be a better phone. I reckon anyway but always wait for at least a month after a new phone comes out. So you can see what is the best for your needs, I've learnt my lesson from x10.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongbh:
You are right in some ways but you must remember that HTC provide firmware upgrade till a limit and basically those upgrades are to resolve those bugs which they have left out and not add in extra features.

I have used before HTC phones ranging from Diamond, Touch Pro, Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 and finally HD2, it is a pain for every firmware upgrade as all my data will be gone and I have to backup before performing firmware upgrade. They should gather all the bugs or problems at one go and released one firmware instead of so many.

No matter how many firmware upgrades you have, the hardware limitation is there and this is a fact that you cannot do anything unless you change phone.

At least, I have a higher spec hardware and with software upgrade which is more flexible as you can add in extra features in the later part to enhance user's experience.

Basically, those are the different type of marketing strategy used by the two companies, end users have the choice to choose what phone to change or use and you have to try different brands of phones before you know each phone manufacturer's bad and good points.

Just sharing my experience as I have tried different phones before knowing which phone manufacturer suits me more and having better technology in their hardware.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakata:
For the moment because i cant afford other phone i`m sticking with my X10 but in the future maybe next year or so i`ll defenetly no gonna buy a Se product and i`ll go with HTC ...this is what i think for the moment :) But anyway lets get back to the topic i think android is better for now than wm6.5 but not x10 android ... :))
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
I just bought an HD2 because I found it dirt cheap (Telstra edition, works in Canada), but I'll be keeping my X10 until I figure out which one suits my needs better... (And that 2.1 will be out) I'll then sell the phone that has the least potential. ;) The NAND edition of Android is supposed to be released soon though and dual boot is a really nice option... So we'll see which one comes out on top!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I don't care for MT.....but I do care about 16m colors....and regrdless of what some people say it does make a huge difference! I can easily see it on my widgets. I also read that the HD2 is probably getting winmo7....but at this point who really knows.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaslav:
Where did you get this dirtcheap hd2? When I was originally looking to get a phone I was debating between the hd2 and x10.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frolex:
the problem is that the x10 will have a decreased value after the new generation of phones arrives, so I want to get rid of it asap.

The Desire is a bit cheaper than the HD2, and it's running android originally. I think that sounds like a better alternative.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxhound494:
I use to own an HD2 although had to sell it and I want it back.

Considering that 2.1 is only coming out that pretty much rules out any other official updates. I used Android with my HD2 and it ran flawlessly the only problem was battery as it was running off the SD. Now they are soon to release a NAND boot so it's looking pretty good for the HD2. Also WM7 might just make it's way onto the device too.

Honestly once I sell my X10, I'm either getting a Galaxy S or HD2. I'm also missing that 4.2" screen :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poundcake7:
Maybe I have no place speaking but... This is my first android phone. I was fully aware of the bad reviews but I found this forum and a couple months back when it was first rooted, alot of people were saying " yea it may be on 1.6 now but the devs will get froyo on here soon enough now that it's rooted" or " SE will release the update at such and such time and we will have such and such features", " the screen was unresponsive because it had a built in screen protector which the reviewer should have known about"( which is true) . At the end of the day the x10 is a good phone, but, as far as this android thing goes it's amongst the worst. The hardware is capable but at the present time it is limited to root apps and whatever runs on 1.6. Maybe it wasn't clearly announced that mt would come to the phone but until recently it was never officially ruled out. It still seems rediculous to me that a 4 inch screen wouldn't have it. No it's not necessary but why would u not want it?? I'm too grown to cry over spilt milk but I wonder, how can some of you actually recommend this phone over any other android on the recent market? no support beyond 2.1 which is going to be over a year old by the time we get it and no confirmation that we will even get an update to the most current version? I've had my phone for four months and I must say it's better than the bold I had before but not much better than my e71 which had a much more stable version of skyfire. I guess what I'm saying is trade your x10 now while you can if you're already contemplating it.. Otherwise enjoy it and shut the f@&k up
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunswick000:
Picked up an HD2 on ebay for a decent price. Looking forward to Froyo. They seem to have the majority of the bugs worked out, and from what im reading there they will be flahing Android directly to NAND before Xmass. We'll be lucky to have 2.1 from SE by then. Keeping my X10 though. Still love it. Just putting it aside until the devs here work their magic. Sooo im not really defecting :-)

To be honest: i had an touch diamond before and i was really happy to get rid of winmo;-) when i had had to choose a new phone i was thinking of either hd2 or x10 or legend. For my needs x10 is perfekt. Of course i would be glad to get mt and that hd videos wich are announced. But until iget that update im still pleased cuz i like that photo quality and the good soundquality. My x10 even wont get rooted or getting a new rom cuz my diamond broke from all that flashing. X10 is stable enough un stylish on top cheers
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongbh:
I agree with what you have mention, HTC can have fast OS or firmware upgrade but their software engineer really sucks, the phone can be fast initially but after some time, the phone become very slow or even hang at times.

I can say that even my X10 is still on Android 1.6, I have never encounter any hang so far and it is working the way it should be unlike my previous HD2, it can hang like few times in a week and I have to restart it which is quite irritating.

Hi guys,

I can't make calls by Voice Dialing with this phone.

I tried the voice dialer available in froyo, but even though the settings are offering "french", it works only with english sentences, and it requires confirmation on the screen.

Is it me or something is going wrong with that android stuff ?

thx.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You mean you can't dial someone and call them? Or that voice dialing doesn't work?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
i think he means he cant call someone hands free, because voice dialer wont understand his french, and when he gets it to work in english it requires confirmation on the screen :confused:
[Desire General] demercie:
exactly what I meant !
[Desire General] EddyOS:
To answer your question - it is a phone. You can dial and make a call on it.

The issue you have is voice dialing, which isn't a feature every phone has and so isn't something the category of 'phone' comes under. The issue you've got is down to Google, even English UK isn't recognised properly...they'll sort it eventually
[Desire General] demercie:
Here in Canada like in many other countries, it is prohibited to drive car and use a cell phone without an hands-free device, all the phones I used in the last 6-7 years were having full hands-free support .....
[Desire General] EddyOS:
But not all phones have voice dialing. You'd still need to 'dial' to get a call, even though you have a hands-free kit of bluetooth headset.

It's illegal in the UK to use a phone whilst driving but I still do (if I absolutely have to, which is rare)
[Desire General] demercie:
My previous phone, an LG8700 was doing that very well, completly hands-free with my bluettoth headset, and it was not a "smart-phone" ;-)
[Desire General] fredfox_uk:
And you drive through red lights if "absolutely have to" ?
[Desire General] demercie:
hi hi hi

bottom line, it does not make sense to me that a supposed "smart phone" not being able to do something "dumb phones" have been able to do for a decade !!!
[Desire General] MrUsta:
Things could be simpler if there was a green "Call" button on Desire...
[Desire General] Dany0:
MrUsta:

If you want these buttons aim for WM or LG.

demercie:

Dumb phones don't have 1ghz processors so they recognize it much worser. And most of them can't connect to 3g, and none of them enhances voice detection through 3g.

And because you really need this function try finding older versions of the app and appeal on Google to fix this issue. No worries if it's not fixed in a month there's gotta be some bloody big problem.
[Desire General] MrUsta:
Dany0,

To make a voice call, you need to press a button to activate the voice call. A dedicated "call" button could help here. For example, I have a trouble to initiate a voice call in a car using Parrot handsfree car kit (no proble to accept incoming calls though).
