Just to be safe I would wait and flash your phone after you sim unlocked.

A Gold card is a special SD card which when inserted into your device allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device.

You cannot find it in app store.

I'm not a pro, so I don't know the details. You can google for it to find a more detailed explanation.
[Desire HD Android Development] RD1945:
Some people don't know this (like I did in the beginning) so I thought i'd write a tutorial.

I know it's nothing special.

Has anyone experienced the problem of a over reactive touch screen?

Lately if I try to scroll down a page, the touch screen jumps about wildly

Is there anything that a can do to fix this?
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
Reboot holding power +up/down volume then select the screen calibration option. Mine did this a while back. Made using swype impossible and scrolling jump all over the place. I did have to do it several times to get it back to normal. So if it doesn't fix it the first time, give it another shot. These exact instructions are on dells site, so it's safe to do :)
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Cool, how did u get swype?
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
I actually signed up for the official beta before I even had my streak:p

But do a little search in this forum and modaco.com forums, I think there's a beta .apk floating around
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Swype have asked for madoco to remove all apk of swype and xda is treating it as warez if you are not in the beta you can not get the link on here :)

I need the italian unbranded 1.6 firmware.

Can you tell me how to downgrade the firmware too? I just tried downgrading using the last release of Flashtool and I got my phone bricked in a starting loop.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Il Tulipano Nero:
I've not uploaded my firmware yet but you can unbrick your phone flashing this one up here,root and change the build.prop with your old one, then repair with seus. It worked for me. Let me know if you need my firm, I'll upload it somewhere.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gmlai:
I unbicked my phone flashing firmware 2.1 again.

I didn't succeed flashing this 1.6 firmware. I tried with the last Flashtool 2.1.

Can you (or anybody else) give me a "how to" step-by-step in order to flash the 1.6 firmware?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Il Tulipano Nero:
No particular procedure. I've used the old one flash tool by binary and the decrypted firm. What is your exact problem? Does the flashing succeed?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gmlai:
Flashing succeeded, but the log reported that "userdata.sin" was not found and skiped.

When I turn my phone on it loops in starting.

Now tried three times, always solved with SEUS, but always in 2.1 firmware.

I will give it a try with an older Flashtool.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] frevilla97:
What you can do is isntall the 1.6 E10i from cocker80, then root your phone and replace the build.prop with your original build.prop, reboot and do a Seus Repair. and you should be good to go with your original rom

If you dont have your original build.prop ask for someone you know that has x10a mini same as your service provider. I could send you mine but its from claro honduras.

Hope everything goes well

am in Egypt , with Mobinil as my network,

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbougues:
Dear all,

It seems that after I launch the Photo Gallery app once, it will eat battery (according to the "battery usage" graph in the settings) quite a lot, even if I don't use it at all. It will easily eat 25-30% of the battery.

I can't kill it either. Or rather, if I kill everything it will kill it someway, but not with the "Gallery" name.

Anyone faced that issue ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erraticx:
i have the exact same problem, when i looked at my tab this morning the battery was really low so i looked at the battery use and the gallery app was at 32%. I only opened it once.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 513:
Maybe you have lots of Picasa web albums and the tab is scanning them to appear on the gallery ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erraticx:
I only have one picture, and im not connected to any online album.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas.A:
Can confirm the problem with the Gallery-app.

Charged the battery last night, opened gallery once this morning (viewed a couple of pictures) and closed it right after.

Now looking at the battery usage and the gallery is at 37%.. :-/

Only two Picasa webalbums and a total of 20 pictures (all downloaded to the phone three days ago).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
I don't experience any battery drain with the Gallery app... And I have around 3Gb of pictures (+- 800 pics) on the internal memory...

How can you say for sure that the Gallery app is the cause of this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas.A:
@turt:

Well..

Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Battery use:

18h 39m 34s since unplugged

Gallery: 37%

Display: 36%

Wi-Fi: 10%

Cell standby: 6%

Android System: 6%

Phone idle: 3%

mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser: 2%
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atoy74:
Pretty damning evidence. This is where taskkillers still have value. Use the Gallery app then kill the app.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erraticx:
I used task killer, the app is killed but still drains battery. Only thing i have found out to work is to turn the device off then on again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexVallat:
It gets run automatically after disconnecting the usb (possibly after media scanning). Eventually I just used Titanium Backup to freeze it, and just use a different image viewer.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atoy74:
Then you'll have to root your device and use autostarts to disable it from all instances.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
Well in my case I've tried rebooting the Galaxy Tab, then open the Gallery app, then look at some pictures, then exit the app with the "back" button (so I didn't kill it). I've then left the Galaxy Tab unused in standby, and after an hour the gallery app was still at 3% usage.

So I'm not sure what's wrong with yours or if I'm doing something different but there's definitely no problem with the Gallery app on mine...

BTW I'm using the stock firmware XXJID.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexVallat:
Just a thought, but to reproduce the issue you could try connecting and disconnecting it from USB (including mount and unmount), so that it triggers the media scanning behaviour...

Start with the gallery app not running.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
I don't have my tab with me right now but I'll test.

Anyway it shouldn't make any difference since the media scanning also occurs at startup of the Tab...

Creepy galleryapp :-/
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.weck:
Based on Android's battery info panel, the display consumes most of the energy on my Galaxy Tab. I had a pretty short runtime yesterday, far from the 7/8 hours reported by other reviewers. I'll see if it improves, it may be because my Tab kept searching for an open Wifi network whilst there was none for most of the time that the Tab was half-asleep in my pocket (or used for gaming without need for internet access)...I guess I could just leave my voice SIM card on, but turn Wifi off.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsbkk:
I too have the same problem..gallery app is using loads of battery.. :S any solutions for this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
Well after hours of standby the gallery app is still 1-2% of total use, my main battery use being the display!

I think maybe the difference is when I quit the gallery app, I do so by clicking "Back" as many times as needed. Then the app is not anymore in the running apps, I don't have to kill it.

To everyone having this issue, maybe you could try this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexVallat:
I get the issue without running Gallery at all. Reboot the phone, don't run Gallery. Connect to USB, transfer some videos (not sure if this step is essential), disconnect from USB. Some time later, without ever having actually run the gallery app or noticed it listed as running in the Task Manager, Gallery is listed as having taken 32% battery.

Autostarts shows that Gallery is triggered by several system events, including Media Scanning. My best guess is that when triggered after USB disconnecting, it then runs silently in the background and some bug sticks it into an infinite loop, or maybe it's just really badly written and actually does spend that much CPU doing work.

Anyway, freezing it with Titanium Backup solves the issue. Just have to get a different image viewing program.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsbkk:
I used titanbackup app and frooze the gallery app, after this i havnt had any problems with the app consuming battery :-) reboot after freezing the app.

a day later unfrooze the gallery app, it seems to have solved the problem.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
If its anything like the galaxy s gallery bug its due to sensor usage. Check spare parts
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas.A:
Doesn't work for me - even with the back-button it still consumes battery..

Only way to solve this for me, is a reboot of the device after I'm finished with the gallery.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.weck:
Yep, the Gallery app pools the sensor for no valid reason (well, apparently the sensors remain activated even when the Gallery app is terminated).

More info here (one workaround is to replace the default apk with an equivalent app from a different ROM/provider)...requires root:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.weck:
There's a known Android bug with apps calling Sytem.Exit() explicitly instead of letting the Android task manager decide how/when to release applications from memory. Maybe the Gallery3D suffers from this particular issue. At any rate, I don't have this problem anymore as I am using a custom application build from XDA ;) (see post above)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raspster:
Has anyone found any other solutions to this? Did the other APK install work..? If you, any down side to installing the alternative gallery apk..?

Guess it worked. How hard was it to install the custom apk..?

UPDATE: I tried to replace the file usinf rootexployer. I let me replace it however, I can't open my media now, it keeps on foce closing giving me an error: process com.cooliris.media has stopped unexpectedly. Any way around this? I noticed there was another 3D gallery files named: Gallery3D.odex. Do I delete this? I just left the one in there as I did not have a replacement for that.

UPDATE #2: Ok, got it to install. Had to delete both files, then re-boot and install the NEW Gallery APK. Works now. Hopfully it will stop the battery drain issue. One question thou, where did it install the NEW APK files to? I don't see any Gallery3D.APK files in system/app anymore but still works fine..?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dag-inge:
I also have the same lssues with Gallery. Battery drains with in hours!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HMartinK:
Same issue here. I rooted my device and replaced the Gallery3D.apk file with another version. It did NOT help. Maybe some other version of the app will work, who knows.

I'm thinking about deleting this app completely with root explorer because I hate it, do you guys know if that would be safe? I'd rather get some error-message saying that the app don't exists instead of it sucking my battery empty.

Or would it work to overwrite /system/app/Gallery3D.apk with a completely different image-viewer app? I could try if I was sure it wouldn't break the device.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HMartinK:
I finally had enough of this app so i simply deleted the .apk file and rebooted.

Everything works perfect, I didn't get any error messages. So this finally solved the problem!

The camera uses its own gallery by default so it works as before.

If I try to open a picture from a file explorer the phone simply ask me to choose an app to open the picture with. It doesn't try to open the picture with the deleted Gallery3D.apk which is good. So I probably just need to install another image viewer.

In other words, it seems to work to delete/rename Gallery3D.apk in /system/app/. Be careful though, it worked for me but that's not a definite proof that it will work for everybody. And backup the file!

Hi. This m ay have been a problem all along but...

Look into it and GALLERY is using a ****ton of the battery - 67%!! I can delete the apk and get rid of this but I need to know what another GOOD image viewer is that I can use it its place. We have a 10 month old, so photos/videos are taking very often with the phone...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derrian:
You can download quickpic from the market, remove the default gallery app from system/app and put quickpic in its place. Or just freeze the gallery app with titanium.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svavrek:
I did go into system/app and remove everythign w/ com.cooliris.media and Gallery... it's gone, put QuickPic in its place (which is pretty nice actually) and still the com.cooliris.media is running, now it has the Android System icon (small gear, large gear, greenish color w/ belt attaching both gears) and is only using 34% of the battery... Looking with SuperManager, I cannot find ANYWHERE (via manual or automated search) com.cooliris.anything or anything w/ gallery... Any ideas??

Also... I have titanium backup but not sure how that freezes stuff...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derrian:
Then in that case, I'm stumped as well. oh and you need the donate version of titanium in order to freeze apps, just out of curiosity though, load up titanium and see if you can see anything in the app list regarding the com.cooliris.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svavrek:
Oddly, I did find a hidden lil com.cooliris.media folder... deleted it, powered down and started up fresh and problem is solved :)

Now to figure out themes... Im new to this if you havent guessed :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabricatedhero:
+ 1 on quickpic app

If you are rooted and have titanium backup just install quickpic and freeze stock gallery.

Better performance and doesn't cause battery drainage like stock gallery

Hi,

I have a problem when typing text on my x10 mini. The problem occurs when i want to change to an other word, and presses the little arrow so the drop down window appears. Or should appear, because sometimes that doesnt happen.

The box with the 2 most used words and the arrow, just dissapears and i have to deselect and select the word again to give it an other try. I sent my phone off to repair, and they replaced the whole screen, but still the same problem.

I found a few others on a danish forum with the same problem, but no solution. So i hoped that 2.1 would fix this. Debranded yesterday and installed 2.1, and still the same issue.

Is this a common (software)problem?

Or something hw related so it can be fixed?
