[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Looks like they come with a bunch of adaptors (to cater for all devices, even Nokia who went with a weird TRRS setup) so they should work on the mini.

I'm also pretty sure anything that will work for the iphone will work on the mini (same TRRS configuration) .. but I haven't tested this (it would certainly make it easier for us to find headsets) someone must have an iphone headset available to try out? so many sheep out there with those devices... (I'm living on the other side of the world at the moment to all my iphone junky friends so I can't test it myself :o )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
Well, just got a mail from UrbanEars customer service :

Hi,

Thanks foru your mail. I´m sorry to say but Sony Ericsson Xperis X10 Mini is not compatible with Urbanears Medis.

Urbanears Medis is microphone and remote compatible with most devices from Nokia, Blackberry, HTC and iPhones.

So I won't buy them, don't want to take the risk even if there seems to be adapters.

Also, I bought UltimatEars headset with built in microphone (it says on the box it works with iPhone and most phones) and ... tada !! they don't work with the mini :-(

when I hook them up, the sound still just goes out the phone speakers, sound doesn't even come out of the headset.

So folks, I guess we're just stuck buying sony ericsson products when it comes to headsets.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
weird.. I was pretty sure the pin outs were the same as iPhone (according to various sites I looked at) :( shows you can't believe everything you read on the intertubes! bloody sony! I guess the best thing would be to find a SE headset with mic/control and stereo headphone socket.. then you can use any headphones.. the only SE ones I have seen are for the old style (hot port?) plug like the K850/W800 etc.. I haven't seen one with a normal TRRS plug yet :( I just got a MW600 BT set so I can use some decent headphones over BT but would be nice to find a wired option too.

BTW apart from the song titles and caller id not showing up on the MW600 the sound quality is pretty amazing, and it auto switches from listening to music from the X10mini to Skype calls from the laptop, and visa versa.. and on Ubuntu too! :cool: sweeeeeet!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
I am thinking of getting one of those, but in reality I hate having to charge the headset. how much autonomy do you get with a full charge ? how long is a complete charge ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
SE marketing claims about 10 hours Playtime/talk time and 520hrs standby! :eek: ... I only just unboxed mine yesterday so time will tell what the real world figures are.. (I mostly use it for music and not much for calls.. I hate looking like a **** talking to myself in public, but if I am driving, on the bike or skiing then headsets are o.k ;)

I think full charge is a couple of hours.. and it comes with a wall charger (550mA) so thats my new phone charger next to the bed (as the Amperage delivered is better for the phone than the 850mA stock one) and it means the USB cable can stay with the laptop for charging both phone and headset when I'm traveling. :)

I'm pretty happy with the headset so far.. and if I eventually replace the X10 with something that supports track id and caller id over bluetooth.. then woot! :rolleyes:

I have a set of these

they are the BOMB on x10mini
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] booshankly:
I have tried two iphone headsets they DO NOT work with mini. A lot of headsets don't in my experience. I wish the iphone headset worked because I like it more than the headset that came with the mini.

It actually doesnt even recognize them at all when you plug them in it continues to play sounds/music from the speaker.

I got HPM-60/J on ebay and they work(including mic).

Does anyone know earbud style (not noise cancellation) with mic that are Y shaped not around the back style(i dont know what its actually called but Se loves that kind)?

Basically I want iphone headset style that works on the mini.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
The problem with iphone headsets in the X10mini is the Ground and Mic wire on the plug is opposite... so there is no ground wire for the headphones or mic, this means no sound can come out.

to make an adapter all you would have to do is chop the end off an old headset (either Sony or Iphone) with a few inches of cable to play with..

work out with a multimeter which pins are which cables T(tip)-R(ring)-R(ring)-S(sleeve) and solder on a TRRS socket (available from most good electronics shops) with the last Ring and the Sleeve reversed. (remember its tricky to solder this type of cable.. you need to scrape off some of the coloured insulation with a sharp knife or razor blade so the solder sticks to the bare copper)

if this is too difficult then buy a TRRS socket and TRRS plug from you electronics store and a piece of 4 core cable and join them (swapping the last Ring and Sleeve around)

I have seen the finished adaptors for sale online for about $15-$20 USD (might be worth the investment if you are not good with a soldering iron) ;)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
I had some hp headphones that used a seperate jack for the mike and they work perfectly with my mini pro as do all of the headphones I've tried it with.

But they might be different as the pro's headset that comes with no media controls except a button that will pause it.

MH810 From SE are Great full Music control nice sound and CHEAP i love them!! better than the stock one
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
I plan to buy some cheap iphone mic headphones from ebay and mod it.

does anyone know the pin read outs on the sony plugs?

I just hate uing In-ear headphones for talking on skype. I can hear myself talking all the time.

I'll post pics of the mod here once i'm done.

Is anyone else having problems with the new version of the youtube widget? I used to be able to click on it, and it would take me to my home page, where I could find my favorites, etc. Now, more often than not, it just says "connection Problem, try again". And when it does work, it takes me to some random youtube video.

Anyone have a solution?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Try this .apk. It's the one I've had on my phone through all the updates and flashing that I've done and it works flawless for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry202br:
Thanks, but I'm not rooted, so I only know how to download apps from the market.

Every time I read a thread about rooting, or similar modifications, there is post after post about "bricks", so I haven't had the guts to do that yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
I was skeptical about rooting too when I first started with android, but the easiest one was the unleash the beast. Just download it, transfer to your phone, rename it to "update", boot into recovery, run update and you're done. Takes about 5 minutes. And now, I'm flashed with DG's Cognition 2.1.5 and I love it! But I'm not trying to rush you or anything, browse the site and find what's gonna work best for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Actually, now that I read and re-read your question/problem, I've noticed what you are talking about. When you place the widget on the homescreen, it gives you a "most viewed" video and a search option. I stopped using the widget for that reason, then I started using the above .apk as my main youtube app as a quick link, or from my app menu and it opens up the full youtube app and it allows you to view the videos in HD. I never found a work around for the "most viewed/search" option in the widget though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry202br:
thanks. I got stuck at the first part, couldn't find an app called unleash the beast in the market. No idea what "boot into recovery" or DG's Cognition is either, but I'll google those.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Unleash the beast and DG's Cognition are both on this site, under the captivate android development. Unleash the beast is a really simple root to apply, it has a walk through in the first post. Cognition... I'd say hold off on trying that until you feel comfortable messing around with your phone. "booting into recovery", just google 'how to boot into recovery' lol. It's usually done by powering down, then holding the volume + and volume - and the power button until it flashes a black screen with blue and yellow writing, that would be the recovery menu.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry202br:
Ok, I'm learning. I think I understand how to install the unleash the beast now, but I'm not sure how to restore the phone to stock, should I so desire. can anyone tell me how to do that?

You can install non-market apps without rooting. Search on ADB for installing apps, or "sideload wonder machine".

Both methods allow you to install apps from your PC via USB cable, no root required.

Anyone on T-mobile USA with the x10 getting hspa+ speeds?

im in chicago and im getting about 1mbps
[XPERIA X10 General] mark28:
O_O last time I checked xperia x10 doesn't have support for hspa+ but I could be wrong. And I haven't actually checked yet but I seem to be having the same speed, I'll check later and post the results
[XPERIA X10 General] FateZero:
I get between 4-6 depending where I am
[XPERIA X10 General] njfpolyr6:
from the SE official site, the spec. said it is UMTS/HSPA phone which is upto 7.2 Mbps (correct me if i am wrong) HSPA+ is upto 14.4 Mbps which is double....

I dont think our X10 is HSPA+ phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] needmoregigs:
I get about 4Mbps down near millennium park with t-mobile's new rollout. Average speed is about 1.5Mbps down throughout the city.
[XPERIA X10 General] needmoregigs:
Even if the phone does not support HSPA+, having the network upgraded greatly improves the UTMS/HSPA speeds.
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
This is correct. HSPA+ is just HSDPA and HSUPA, but with a faster theoretical cap.

What Rom are you using
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] azturbomini:
I have had that before on my phone. It was quite a while back and I "think" it was part of another application I had downloaded but I don't remember which one... maybe back track what you have downloaded and uninstall til you find it. Worth a shot...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NilsP:
This looks like the pop-up you get when you are on the phone talking and get another call and is giving you the option to send a txt to the caller. The option is there in the stock ROM which I am sure is carried over to custom ROM's.

I have never seen this pop-up but others have. If you have a custom dialer that may be why.

go into Settings > Call > Phone settings (or similar for a custom dialer)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] thess1:
I believe this is a setting within the MIUI rom... I could be wrong though.

I have a home computer and a work computer and I would like to be able to access and work on projects from both computers. I have tried doing this by setting up the workspace on a flash drive, but to no avail.

Should I just put Eclipse, android SDK, and the JDK all on the flash drive and run it from there leaving the system basically out of the equation?

Any experienced users out there who might know any tips or tricks to how you do this?

If there is a better forum to post this on please give me a heads up.

I am currently in the process of updating my kitchen build. I have got a really good build, but want to update the OS.

I currently have for 6.5 21869 and for 6.5.5 I have 23569.

Both I think are now quite old, so I would like to update the base packages.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
I do not think there is a later 6.5.5 build than 23569 is there?

The latest releases are 6.5.3 I think.

Ive just downloaded 28238 I think its a com 3 build seems very good!
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
I think it's not com3 but WMD, but it does not matter :) The latest COM3 is 23138 and the latest and fastest (from my point of view) is HTC 21680..... at least for my Leo TMOUS.

By the way. I am still a little confuesed on what the differences are between com3 5 and wmd.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
+1 for 21680

I have never used the 216xx branch before - I have kept to 235xx and 236xx. Have just tried 21680 and whilst it could be a placebo effect it really does seem fast.

Will have to see how it holds up in daily use.
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
It's not placebo, benchmarks prove it to be faster.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
I generally am sceptical about benchmarks as I have often used stuff that is supposed to be slower or faster accoording to the benchmarks but where I can see no discernable difference in my daily usage (probably due to my specific uses I suppose).

This one does feel very responsive so far though, although I see 23691 is now out as well - normally I would try that next but 21680 MAY be a keeper for a while.
[Windows Mobile] simzz:
Is the HTC Branch wm6.5 or wm6.5.5?
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
It is 231xx, as we can see from devices dumps (Oboe, Photon, ..)

It's often difficult to discern a 10% improvement in common daily usage, still 10% is 10%.
[Windows Mobile] Stephen:
Ive gone back to "old school" builds with surprising results! I am now using radio 2.14 as it gives me HSPDA in work :) even 2.12 didnt! - Was only getting edge :(

I went right back to leo 1.66 as a base, I do like windows 6.5 over 6.5.5 I seem to get much better battery life and if I do not use the 576mb hack the voice calls are much clearer!!

I am currently using a slightly tweaked 6.5 os 21869 with sense 2.5.192 and I have had the phone on since about 9pm last night (now 1pm) and made phone calls been on the net etc and still sitting with 80% battery power!

Best bit is it is still android friendly. All I have done is simply updated the OS with office 2010 and .net 3.5 before building the rom!

Very pleased with the results!
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
I thought I had fixed the issue with the corrupted DSM (using teh new DMS that AndrewSH posted), but for some reason PhoneAlarm does not seem to play ncie with 21680.

It could be something else but all was working well till I tried this build, and now I have issues with profile changes not going through and notification sounds not changing.

Am reverting back to 23686 to see if it is really build related.

EDIT - No the issues seem to be build independent. betterdo some more digging.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradasos:
Since vodafone are starting enforcing their data allowance limits in October, I've been keeping a closer eye on my data usage and was surprised to see that, some days, I'm using 60-70mb. I knew that I was actively using a fraction of that so it had to be something running in the background.

I've got things like facebook and seesmic set to update once an hour and most other things set to manual or once a day updates. Most heavy data use apps like Spotify and Guardian Anywhere are set to only update over Wifi so I couldn't figure out what it might be.

After some searching, I managed to find an app which can break down data usage per app. It turns out that, in the space of a few hours, Calendar used about 20mb just running in the background. I'm guessing this is an HTC sense problem rather than an android issue with just keeping my gmail account in sync, since gmail and contacts aren't pulling down anything like the same amount of data.

Does anyone know how to set refresh intervals for calendar without affecting the other gmail account sync data? The only options I can find is straight on/off with no frequency options.

I'm rooted and using stock rom, since I prefer stability and even the most stable custom roms tend to have a few quirks here and there, but I cant afford so much data to be squandered when it doesn't need to be so might switch, but in the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions? I tried searching the forum but it doesn't seem like there's anyone else having the same problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderstoat:
Hi, would you mind posting a link to this app? I have the same problem and have searched for something to break down usage per app but couldn't find anything. Thanks, Stoatie
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubano07x:
Wow! Now THAT explains everything and why I was averaging 50-70mb/day as well! I'm also watching my data usage, so thank you so much for this post...

As for an answer, my best advice for now....remove the tick that allows your calendar to sync with your gmail account. The only reason you need to sync your accounts is if you frequently use the web app and as a backup option. So, you can turn off that and your contacts sync and everything will still stay as is and save you precious data. Then you can sync everything once a day or every couple of days if you're into flashing roms or are prone to lose phones, etc.

Hope that helps...I'm about to try out and watch my data usage as well!

Have you tried pressing the volume rocker on the left side of the phone while in the middle of a call?

I've been having a similar problem where everytime I make or receive a phone call the ear piece volume is only at half way, so I always have to manually adjust it when making/receiving calls. Really wish there were a setting in the options menu to have the ear piece volume set to max for all calls.
