Me too...I'm having problems to update my applications and when I click on Google Talk the application makes me return to Home :confused:

Any problems with Google servers???

Thanks

GTalk is working fine for me, so I suggest posting a logcat for the period when you attempt to sign into GTalk.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] questionesse:
I assume a logcat is a certain type of logfile? How do I generate this?

thx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you have ADB setup on your PC, you can simply connect your phone via USB and type ADB LOGCAT in a command window (you need to have USB Debugging switched on). If you don't have that, you can download an app (e.g. aLogCat).

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] questionesse:
you mean this?

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

no, haven't installed this. Is it also necessary to install it on the phone or just on the computer?

installing on the phone would be quite cynical :cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] questionesse:
help folks! :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Yes.

There's nothing to install on the phone, you just need to enable USB Debugging from the Development menu.

Right, i experienced exactly the same problem shortly after doing update to 2.2. I've read somewhere (if i find a link, i'll post it here) that update from 2.1 to 2.2 doesn't carry personal data and settings transfer very well.

Tryed restore to no luck.

My fix.

1.Format memory card first.

2. factory restore

3. format memory card again (in case it managed to back up my settings after 1st format and before restore)

4. factory restore (in case back up happend and it managed to restore my settings)

5. sign in to google ******@GOOGLEMAIL.com , even though my e-mail IS @gmail.com and it shows @gmail.com on the phone.

No problem since

Hope no 3 and 4 make sense to you.

Hope that helps.

I appreciate your help - but I'd really loive to check within the logfiles what's exactely wrong, dause that could trace the root and help others instead of just starting all over.

I'm just surprised that there's little response out here...
[Epic 4G General] MyRCode:
Has anyone noticed a problem with the address book and contacts that only have a company title? The address book will pull the first and last name from some other contact and fill it into the nameless contact (company title only).

I've tried manually fixing the second company name only contact by deleting the first and last name fields, but the address book just fills it back in again.

It's quite annoying.

Any idea how can I enable GPS in Bing maps?

At the moment it only uses location services and that is very much off (up to 500m).

There is no GPS navigation but atleast looking at map would help. Sadly that is only if it knows exactly which street you are and not change it's mind every 30s like it does now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
+1

How to do to be located with accuracy ? Bing Maps is unuseable as such.
[Windows Phone 7 General] powersquad:
change your system locale to US for both IE on wp7 and phone itself and GPS will work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foaf:
I was driving yesterday, using Bing Maps and GPS was definitely working. It updated my location about once a second on the exact road I was on.

When I first load Bing maps I feel it uses the 500m Cell Phone Tower triangulation, but it quickly switches to GPS if I have line of sight with the sky.

(I am in UK using HD7)
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That's because Windows Phone doesn't keep your GPS on all the time. It turns it on when it needs to use it. When you first open Bing, it will use Cell Towers because it has to turn the GPS on and acquire Satellite Locks. Once it acquires those locks, it switches to using GPS as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ruscik:
Sadly after 40 min ride it did not do that at all. I had to press locate me button every 5 min to get new location and it was always using cell towers.

Not fun on MC in town.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TschonDoe:
At first I was wondering the same, but after a few days it all of a sudden worked and is using GPS.

No idea why it works now, but it definetely already worked before switching the Search language to English. Switching just enabled local search results for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Navigation

Hi foaf

Does Navigation work in the UK or is it restricted to the US like the Bing application on Windows Mobile?

OMG I'm stoked

Ok I will be honest I thought with my luck I will end up with a brick, but no it all worked :D, so happy, 3 here in aus have no idea when or if the 2.1 update is ever going to be official, now I just don't care.

I had to make sure the "sin" files were in a tree that is only 1 deep under the flash tool directory, I originally extracted the 2.1_X10a_world_generic and it made a directory tree 2 deep. This caused some issues with "sin" files not being found.

Phone reads as a 10a.

Its now the 15 Jan and I have just had seus send me an update. This is epic, I was wondering the consequences with seus but all is gods. Again thanks so much guys.. :-D

However, upon booting up my phone the first time, i still had all ATT blurbs and my phone wasnt changed at all, so I Re-flashed it using the generic rom, instead of the rogers, and Again, all the same as above for what it said while flashing. I turned on my phone and waited patiently, I thought it had worked because the fancy little sony ericsson symbol rushed onto my screen after awhile, but no evail, all that happens past that point is my phone shuts off, and just keeps restarting and gets to that point, does it again. Frustrated, I then Re-flashed the rogers 2.1 onto it hoping it would work now, i thought it did again, but now before restarting itself instead of the ericsson symbol it just says rogers...I'm very frustrated, Please help me! Btw, This was a livesaver! (when it works lol) Thank you!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Androxyde:
As a workaround, try to rename the file you want to decrypt with a .sin extension. They should be decrypted in the same folder as the original file.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Please flash again WITH erasing your userdata. This is in 99% the solution for the reboot problems.

Especially when you are switching between brandings it could be that the provider left some crazy stuff in data partition. So its more safe to flash it!

Bricked Flashing...

So, pretty much bricked my phone I think. I Flashed the X10a_2_0_2_A_0_24 Generic FW and my phone started but said "No SIM card in phone"...

AT&T brand. Anyone know how I can unbrick it? Reset it, erase it, whatever? I can't even mount it when the USB is plugged in to let SEUS repair or whatever. I can't even click on the "Emergency Call" button on the screen. It's unresponsive. The entire touch screen seems unresponsive, I can't even power the phone off, I have to take the battery out. Holding down the physical button on the far left brings up a little "Safe Mode" at the bottom of the screen. That does nothing. And if I hold the power button it will show the "Activating Phone" message for a little while then go away.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Hm, sounds not good. But at all we cannot brick a phone through thish flashtool. Its because we cannot flash unsigned images and the loader won't let corrupted or incomplete images into the flash!

All i can think of is that 1 of your files is corrupt and gets rejected after it was sent to the phone.

Do you have any other firmware ? If yes please try to flash it!

If everything fails with my flashtool please try to flash via SEUS, if this tool cannot fix it you have a hardware failure. But i don't think so. I had this problem too before and a reflash had fixed it!

BTW: Updated the version of flashtool right now! Fixed little bugs :)

Okay, have an x10a, and here's a quick list of all the crap that's happened/not happened to my useless phone:

1. AT&T blocks 2.1

2. Sony pulls plug on any further updates

3. AT&T won't carry phone in couple months

4. Couldn't connect to 3G

5. App market force closed every 30 seconds

6. Zedge no longer worked after it updated

7. Oh, and just got phone in October (new 2 yr contract)

Been pretty irked about all this for a few weeks, went to AT&T where the very nice lady who sold me the phone had no idea of #'s 1, 2, and 3. She reset my phone, which seemed to help #'s 4-6, but couldn't do anything for me about 1-3. In fact, she looked me straight in the eye and said "Buy a different phone". She also said that all the problems "should" be covered under warranty, but that AT&T wouldn't do anything until the phone had "3 strikes" (malfunctions).

I've spent the past couple weeks reading threads here, bookmarked about 20 different threads, trying to decide whether I should sit with a paper weight of a phone, or flash, etc.

Last night, I flashed using Bin4ry flash tool.

And it's absolutely wonderful. It's the phone I wanted when I bought it. Not sure if I'm even going to root, or do anything else, the phone is so nice right now. But I just wanted to let others out there who are frustrated and can't decide whether to flash or not...that it is worth it.

And to thank eodille and Bin4ry for all their hard work. May you each live to be a thousand years old.

Now if I could just remember what thread had the list of stuff I can remove from the phone...stupid timescape. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nexus512:
ok so this tool does work and lets me install z4 and puts on all the necessary programs but it still doesnt give me full su permissions and says i need to reboot into recover and flash update.zip..... however i dont know how to load the xperia into recovery without full root, so if anyone could help me id appreciate it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Why don't you use the provided Options in the Tool ?

1.) Click Root in the Tool -> When it's finished reboot like the Tool says you

2.) After reboot: Advanced -> Install xRecovery

Done.

No more need for z4 or any other, the tool does the root for you AND it installs xRecovery without that you have to do something =)

Well, I know that you do not need to enter your phone into flash mode to root it. Just connect it via usb and make sure de buggin is on, open up the flash tool, and then just click on root. The first time I tried i had it in flash mode and thats what it said for me to. So hopefully it will work! Good luck!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Androxyde:
The Clean task has a bug. The To be installed apps are not installed while the to be removed list is removed from the phone.

Your problem is due to LauncherPro not installed as a replacement for SemcHomeL

So in the clean screen, take the SemcHomeL as well as textinput-tng and LatinIME out of the To be removed list and everything should be fine. Will be corrected in the next release :-)
