[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrJB:
Hey Guys I really need your help my N1 won't power on for some reason. I really need to get some things off the phone from certain software that I had in case I have to have it repaired or sent away. I'll try to be brief what happened I was exercising with my phone inside a protective case that covers the whole phone and I went to change the next song while listening to music and when i went to push the power button the screen remained black the whole time and I couldn't see anything at all the screen was black the whole time after numerous attempts at pushing the power button. So I held down the power button to try and reboot it and then the music stopped, so then I hit the power button again to turn it on and it hasn't turned on since yesterday. I even took the battery out and let it chill for a min and still doesn't work. when I plug it in to the charger the orange/green light comes on and as well with the USB connection too, but still can get it to power on.

Anyone have any Idea what it could be? I am assuming it's the power button but I am not for sure. Is there anyway to turn it on again in case i need to recover any files, etc. the reason i want to get it to work is that I don't want to have to go through the hassle of sending it away to be repaired if there is some way I can do it myself. I am trying to avoid sending it away with my carrier and I really need to access certain files on the phone if all else fails. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it thnx to anyone.

If it's a power button failure, you can put the phone on charge, then remove and reinsert the battery... keep trying, it will turn on eventually...

it worked the first time I did it :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D thank you so much well just in case it ever happens again how can I back up some things on my apps for example I have notes on AK notepad how would I back those up? and if I wanted to move some software to my sd card that doesn't allow it?

Hey thanks again you are a life saver!!!!!!!! :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrJB:
oh darn the X came up when I powered it up but still nothing just a black screen I got all excited for nothing :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrJB:
i got after 5 or so times of taking the battery out thnx again is there a way or software to make the N1 awake or power off with the trackball without rooting it since the power switch is buggy now?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Titanium Backup will backup apps and data to SD card.

Widget Locker has an option for trackball wake.

LockEnabler will let you turn screen off/sleep.

Quick Boot will let you reboot, boot into recovery etc. Be careful booting into recovery or boot loader, because power button is used to navigate (you have to use adb).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrJB:
thnx again is there anyway to restart/reboot the phone if it is not rooted via trackball or another button?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Reboot is possible with Quick Boot (as noted above), but if you ever turn off then the battery toggle is your only option...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrod:
I have a problem with my x10i.

I was trying to use the flash tool for 2.1 from binary's thread but I failed and it was still 1.6. It got to the point where it said [finish] and then error message in the cmd. After that I tried using SEUS to update it again, the 2.1 update was available so I tried installing it.

Here is the current situation.

After installing 2.1 from SEUS, I followed the instruction to turn the phone off/take out the usb. After turning it back on, it's been half a hour and I'm still stuck at the blank screen before the SE logo shows up. I tried taking out the battery to boot into Flash Mode but that didn't work either. I was wondering if it was because the battery is near empty, but that's not the case since I was using the wallcharger for another hour on it earlier whlie it's in the blank screen state.

Can anyone point me in a direction for fixing it?

Forgot to mention, holding the power button doesn't turn it off either. I would have to remove the battery to turn it off.

Try a re-flash... use the repair function on PC Suite
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrod:
the usb cable isnt turning on the phone by connecting to it while its off. i can't boot in flash mode either :(.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flex00:
had somewhat a prob yesterday like it, my phone did turn on again. i got an other pc installed companion suite there and repaired the firmware(said it was up to date) and then after the boot i'am @ 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrod:
was the other pc a 32bit? because the first time i tried using seus was on a 32bit then i bought 64 bit computer.

I'll try running it on a 32bit computer today.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrod:
Okay, so I borrowed a PC and installed PC Companion and tried to connect the phone to the computer. However the computer didn't recognize my phone at all. Perhaps this is a problem with window 7?

I also noticed that when i take the battery out and put the usb in then the battery back in, the green LED light stays on. It stays on until the phone trys to boot itself on then the LED turns off but the screen turns on. Only thing is that the screen is still blank and never went to any of the logo screens. And while the USB is plugged in, I can't turn it on by holding power. However if the usb is not plugged in, and I take the battery out and put it back in, I can hold power and it'll blink really fast for the green LED and then the phone viberates for a quick second (like it usually does when you turn your x10 on) and then blank screen and nothing else. The reason i can tell it's on w/ a blank screen and not a screen issue is because I put the phone under the table (very little light) and I can see the screen dimly lit by the back light. These are the only 2 indication I have that the hardware is working.

My biggest guess right now is that the firmware was F'D during the flash or the loader is now a goner since I can't boot into safemode or flashmode. My other conclusion so far is that while the phone is on (confirming it being on via the backlit blank screen) the usb connection goes off. Perhaps its stuck in a loop? Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

I did searches as well.

I came across people who said their phone was stuck so they let it drain out the battery on it's own and it unstucks. Some say they waited 4-5 minutes and it worked.

So far the longest I waited was:

3 Hours(And counting) *usb & battery is plugged in but charging green LED light is not on*

or tried to leave it alone for 8 hours without battery or usb plugged in.

I'm hoping someone has come across the same problem and had a fix or one of the DEVS might've experianced this problem while trying to test their loaders/etc?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Nothing to do with Windows 7, I and others have no issues on Windows 7 x64. Run the attached file and delete anything to do with SE and try reconnecting in flash mode whilst running SEUS. Post a screen shot of the program if you're unsure what to delete.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrod:
Okay right now I am on the 2nd computer with the 32bit OS that I tried to connect to earlier. However i was unable to find a DEVID that was registered on Nov 1. which should be the case since I have never connected my phone with this computer ever before.

I was unsuccessful at booting into flash mode as well. I would put the battery in. then hold the back button and plug the usb. However the phone would not auto boot like it does normally when you plug in the usb so I held on till it did because I thought it might be lagging, however it still didnt boot into flash mode.

I have a baddddd feeling now :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FerraraZ:
I'm trying to get root(superuser) access on my captivate which already has Cognition 2.2. I was trying to update Cognition Rom to the latest beta and having issues because the captivate would not restart in clockwork recovery even when rom manager would tell it too.

I thought by unrooting it using one click root it would work so I did that and now I cant root it back to try the update of the ROM again (I know dumb).

Now its 2.2 and I dunno how to get root access.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Install using an Odin installer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FerraraZ:
will that give root access and install cognition 2.2 latest beta? I've never used the Odin installer.

I'm sure give it a few days and someone will get it working on here. 2.1 has been out for a day.

Also, please don't say things like "It looks unlikely SE will update to 2.2" They've already announced they will implement newer versions months ago.

You clearly havn't looked into it, with the leaked roadmap for x10 2.1 is as far as we go, although they have put 2.2 under review it dosn't mean we will get it.

And just incase you want them here are some sources...

I also highly doubt we will get 3.0 as it is meant to have minimum requirements like 512MB RAM which already puts us out with out 384MB RAM.

4. Restart the mobile again and here you go :):)

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bialynia:
This kind of hyperbole drives me nuts, how in the world is 2.1 obsolete?? SE have said that they have not yet decided if the next update will include an OS upgrade. My guess is it will. The phone will receive updates until at least April 2012.

I see you've re-registered with a slightly edited name but that hasn't stopped your constant SE loving.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jayman1986:
Considering when the x10 was released 2.2 was out and now they have finally got 2.1 out(even though its not out for UK) maybe they'll start on 2.2 when the next Android software is out.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ProBoner:
Flash for 2.1 is nearly useless... I tried it on my captivate and don't know if there was a single video that worked that wouldn't have worked with just skyfire alone.

Froyo on the other hand, lets me play almost everything! If the devs can get the bootloader opened up, I'd probably take a 2.2 custom rom on the x10 over official froyo on the captivate. Aside from a better gpu there isn't much about the captivate that is better than the x10 THAT SOFTWARE CAN'T FIX... The software is the worst thing about the SE!

edit:

Yeah and multi-touch is needed on the x10... not just for games either
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bialynia:
Let's get our facts straight. 2.2 was not yet released when the X10 came out, 2.2 came out on May 20, 2010, 2 months after the X10's March 22 rollout. 2.1 was released in January of this year, well after Sony had been finalizing its 1.6 software iteration. Given that the X10 was SE's first Android phone and that they were finalizing the Mini and x8 I am not surprised that the update took as long as it did. The length of the time the 2.1 rollout has taken seriously hurt SE's bottom line, they did not foresee the press they would get for this. I would be surprised if they didn't take these updates by the horns and decided to try to update to the latest iteration instead of staying one version behind.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] unknown13x:
thnx for your research, but i have to break it to you that the roadmap leaked is for 2010 only. It does NOT include any aspect of 2011. If it IS for 2011, you would see other models other than what we have. There's no news at this moment on which version SE will go up to.

I do know that Gingerbread will be the main target by SE, not Froyo next year. 3.0 is NOT for phones, if you haven't read, its 2.3 that will be implemented. 3.0 is Honeycomb which is targeted to Tablets, not phones.

Sorry, I had posted this question earlier today in the HD2 Q&A forum (not here):

Hello all:

I have 2 exchange accounts at work that I need to get on my phone. From what I have seen in the Android ROMs that I have tried (3 so far), I cannot configure more than 1 Exchange account in Mail. Is this a general limitation, am I missing the way to do it, or is there a ROM out there that allows for this. I don't think it is a FroYo limitation, since I have my 2 exchange accounts configured and syncing on my Dell Streak.

Thanks in advance for any help.
