[Droid X General] wad3g:
I've already looked at the Droid X wiki, but every time I freeze VPN Services 2.2, and then reboot my phone I not audio on incoming/outgoing calls so I must restore it. It's not a big deal, but I was wondering if others were having the same issues.

While I'm talking about Titanium Backup; I know not to remove Backup Assistant, but why do we have Backup Assistant 1.0 and Backup Assistant 2.2?

I'm trying to get my X to run more smoothly. My Droid 1 with Bugless Beast just seemed much snappier. I've been getting a lot of force closes recently as well from random apps, like Touiteur, and my browser has been extremely slow and unresponsive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys I have just ordered this from Play.com for JUST £49.99

I was expecting to pay around £100 so am very happy with that.

Play.com

there is the link if any1 else is interested.

once I have the device I will let you guys know how the battery life of the DHD has held up for me as i'm wondering if I will even get a day out it with bluetooth on all day!
[Desire HD Accessories] rossysaurus:
haha, the irony. requires android 2.0 or better. no sony handset officially has 2.0 or better.

anyway, they do look cool. if it does full screen clock il get one, £50 isnt much for a watch. i doubt il use it for its intended purpose much.

thanks for the heads up. keep us updated on if its any good!!! :)
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Ooh - this is right up my street. and for £50 I'm hoping you can't really go wrong!

I'm gonna wait for reviews, but I love crap like this! I'm excited.
[Desire HD Accessories] Humz:
they are getting an upgrade soon....i think its around the same time as the product lauch!

I will try and review it here, so if you have an specific questions feel free to ask.

i'm most worried about the thickness and the battery life of the DHD
[Desire HD Accessories] JamesBarnes:
Hmm, well after the experience i had with their X10, it will be a looong time before i would be comfortable buying another SE product...

It has just been delayed till the 29th :(

REVIEW

I was very excited about this little gadget and thought that the Sony Ericsson brand and the cost of the device assured me of its quality. However I am actually very disappointed in it.

Firstly the screen, although AMOLED, really is quite poor. The resolution is low and the colours are all washed out. The strap that comes with it is a bit crude and when worn as a watch looks very unstylish.

Next and most importantly, connection; I succesfully connected to my HTC Desire HD but it loses this connection - a lot - and it's not because I am too far away either. I can't stress how the process of reconnection is extremely frustrating and takes a lot of attempts. It defeats the entire purpose of this device. Now I know there have been issues with BT connectivity on the DHD but I see other makes and models having similar problems with this gadget. (Samsung Galaxy S, Desire, Wildfire)

As for transferring of data, that seems to be fine once connected, but don't expect all features to work with non Ericsson phones. I could not use media player function and calendar reminder for example.

The user interface is a bit fiddly too and one feature to 'remote control' your phone to show the full version of an article you have on the LiveView, is hit and miss too.

Now obviously this is a new device with a lot of potential from developers to introduce their own plug-ins, and software updates may eradicate some of these problems. But for now, I feel that it's too buggy to be useful and you are best waiting for it to be more established. It may be fine with SE phones but as it clearly states it is compatible with all Android v2+ phones, so I expect more reliability.
[Desire HD Accessories] eozen81:
So this device has connection problems with dhd, right?

Does it command smoothly radio channels as well?
[Desire HD Accessories] panyan:
goodbye liveview!
[Desire HD Accessories] ergath:
Thanks apprentice, you've saved me 50 quid - I saw your review on Amazon and decided to steer clear for now.

Be nice if the issues were fixed, but I somehow doubt they will be.
[Desire HD Accessories] xp79:
Can confirm that these do not fully work with most devices, Sony announced that a vital update is needed this morning and should be coming mid January..

[Desire HD Accessories] reukiodo:
Wow! Sony? Actually listening to their users???

This is a major milestone in Sony's history. I can't say that I'm impressed, but I am surely surprised and very grateful!
[Desire HD Accessories] nemo20000:
In my experience Sony's customer support is second to none. But let me be clear, I mean Sony, not Sony Ericsson.

I bought a SONY LCD TV, and discovered a strange bug: If I selected a mono radio station, it entirely cut off sound output from SCART 2. I phoned Sony, they apologised and suggested a work around. A couple of months later I get a phone call "We've fixed that problem you reported, would you like us to send round an engineer to update your TV's firmware?". :cool:

So I won't have a word said against Sony.

Sony Ericsson and to an extent Sony Computer Entertainment, on the other hand... be my guest. :D

And yes, the LiveView as it stands is unusable, and I just don't understand how it could have got through any QA process in this state. It just does not work.
[Desire General] Noplait:
Hi everyone,

I bought an HTC Desire few days ago. I rooted it and flashed a custom ROM : Leedroid 2.2e, so far everything's perfect.

But I hadn't tried GPS yet, so I did today and unfortunately I didn't succeed in making it work : I can see the GPS icon in the notification bar but the GPS won't localise me in any application : My tracks, Navigation and others...

I can only localise by mobile data connection...

I tried to reboot => nothing changed

I tried 2 others ROMs : OpenDesire and Modaco (last releases) => still nothing

(I waited 5 minutes each time)

I read some things about ZdeviceTest so I downloaded it and when I am in the GPS section I can see : speed = 0.00 and number of satellites = 0, on the NMEA part i can see something is moving like "$GPGSA,A1,,,,,,,,,*1E" coming back again and again with some other thing which I don't have the time to read

I tried to flash the lastest Radio ROM => still the same situation

That's why I'm asking to you guys if you can help me cause I don't know what else to do...Especially cause I bought it second-hand...

Is there a way to know if the GPS "hardware" is ****ed up ?

Any ideas ? :s

Thank you (and sorry for my English)
[Desire General] AndroHero:
the other month when i tried leedroid 2.2b i had the same problem, i was trying to use kingmaker but couldnt get a gps fix, i tried gps test and although i had a weak signal it wouldnt connect to any satelites, i left it running in the background while i was out and about an hour later i got a fix, after that gps would get a fix straight away!! i think it mite be because we dont have a htc app like quick gps on android, it takes a while for the phone to find all the satellites
[Desire General] Noplait:
Ok thank you for answering :) could you tell me which app you used to fix the gps? I'll try that :)
[Desire General] Eradorius:
I had this same problem on stock Desire. I pulled battery out for about five minutes. After that I got fix in about 2-3 minutes. Now it is working without any problems.

[Desire General] lee815:
Try this... go to menu, settings wireless, network, then go to mobile networks, access point names, click on your service provider( the one with the green button by the side of it), like mine is o2 postpay then go right down to the bottom & open APN type, then type in default,supl
[Desire General] Noplait:
Hello guys,

Thanks for your answers I'm gonna try this today but I'm waiting to go outdoor because in my room I think GPS will never localise me ;)

1) I have another question, on my good old HTC Hero I saw a tip one day to change the satellites or something like that with a file like gpsconf.xx do you think I can try that too on my Desire ?

2) Are there old flashable 2.1 Desire ROMs available ? I searched the forum developpement but it seems like there is only 2.2 ROMs ?

I'm asking because I contacted my seller who told me that the GPS was working fine before (true or not ? ^^)and I know he was on 2.1 Orange France ROM but when I rooted my phone I forgot to do a backup I'm such a newbie :/

Bye
[Desire General] Noplait:
I tried all your methods but none was able to fix the problem

I went running for 30 minutes and it didn't localize me and after that 1 hour in my car and still nothing.

So I think my GPS is dead :/
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

need help. this is quickly going from my favorite phone to a PIECE OF CRAP I WANT TO SMASH ON THE WALL.

there's a thread i made yesterday. short version after rebooting the phone none of the apps in the sd card were accessible, the phone couldn't mount the sd card, and nothing would install in market. i flashed new roms, restored nandroid backups, nothing would fix the issue. finally narrowed it down to some file on the sd card. deleted all the files from the sd card and restored my last good nandroid and got the phone running, just had to re-install my apps.

i've spent all day installing all my apps (200+). everything was working just fine again. until i decide to reboot the phone. and now I'M BACK TO THE SAME ISSUE. none of the sd card apps work, in settings if i try to unmount the sd card i get a FC, switchpro can't change the mount status (says updating status but never changes the icon, so it's either unmounted or mounted, but wont change it), and nothing will install in the market.

i put back my original memory card (that i used yesterday in my testing) and the phone worked fine again. i installed root explorer (was on sd card, now to the phone). put my memory card back.

i am able to browse the sd card with root explorer. gallery sees the images from the sd card. beautiful widgets sees the skin files in the sd card. but the OS wont run any of my apps that are in the sd card and wont let me install anything.

i'm 100% if i delete all the files from the sd card and boot again, everything will work....but what the hell is causing this? i dont have any experimental/alpha apps that would do any damage after being installed. just a few apps and many games.

from my end it feels like there is a file that gets created at one point, that after rebooting the phone makes it so the phone can't mount the sd card, thus not able to install apps, run sd card apps, etc.

please give me some guidance here. i can't use my phone if i can't isntall apps!!!

i got so pissed almost smashed it:mad:

i'm using MetroDroid 1.0, rooted (nand too), customized matted blues theme. keep in mind the problem does not go away with a fresh install of the rom, or with a nand restore of cm6....i'm pretty sure it's down to a file issue within the sd card?
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
There is a file or app being installed on the sd card that is causing the sd card to corrupt.

[EVO 4G General] turn:
you really need 200 apps?

****, i'd say therein lies the root of your problems...
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
have you tried installing each app one at a time, and rebootung after each one? Eventually you'll run into the same issue, but at least then you'll know which app is causing it.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
That's a lot of apps to go through to find the culprit.

I would try reformatting your card. Then go about installing your apps again. Besides that I have no idea, could be an app or a retarded lemon of a phone.
[EVO 4G General] tek818:
^^ what he said... Don't just delete the files on your memory card, format it!
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Well, yeah, its also a lot of rebooting - its more of a last resort kind of suggestion. To be used right before throwing it at the wall. :)

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
please smash it PLEASE !!!

200 + apps FFS why in the hell do you need 200 + apps
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
i forget the apps 2 sd hack, I used to run it on my hero and nothing but issues cause of it
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
that's my latest theory. i'm going to try renaming all the folders in the sd card and rebooting. seeing if i can pinpoint which folder first...then the file

well according to titanium backup i ahve about 310 apps installed. i have many games, most of which i play. then i have several live wallpapers, widgets, tools, media players, news apps, messaging apps, etc. i have everything organized with app organizer and it doesnt feel like that many.

that's the thing. yesterday i reformatted in-phone and i also formatted in the computer. then put the files back on (made a backup first) and this happened after installing the apps. i think i rebooted maybe 3 times in the process of installing all the apps today. the last reboot was only to test the theory that on MetroDroid data only works if you reboot with Wi-Fi off. so i really wasn't expecting the whole thing to stop working again!

:mad:

EDIT: where in the memory card exactly are the app files?

no need for all the pointless swearing. next time post more civil
[EVO 4G General] VOODOOTRIP:
Unless you have transferred said apps to your SD card they will not show.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
really? thank you for your helpful post. i posted a very detailed and civil thread yesterday and where were you with helpful information? nowhere. and where is your helpful information now? nowhere. so why even come in the thread if you're not going to help?:rolleyes:

@toast - thanks for editing the OP. i dont usually make the pissed off kind of threads but this time it served its purpose. the last two days i had a very well written, detailed thread explaining everything asking for help. i renamed it several times. bumped it 2-3 times. all i got was two responses. i post this one with profanity in the title and look at how many answers already. some of which seem to be pointing me somewhere right hopefully!

it's very frustrating to see picture threads and mod threads get useful (and useless) comments every minute and threads asking for help (i've seen this happen with my own threads in the past and many others) get ignored. specially considering by the time I get to ask for help i've spent hours trying to fix it on my own and researching before asking here.

-----------------

VOODOOTRIP i put back most of the files that were in the memory card prior to reformatting it. anyways i installed all the apps again today after that and haven't reformatted yet (what's the point?) so the apps are in the sd card. just need to figure out how to get the phone to access the card!

EDIT: i renamed all the folders in the sd card (without reformatting or deleting anything) and booted into the phone. was able to mount/unmount the card and install apps from market. so it is a file in there...now to figure out which one!
[EVO 4G General] VOODOOTRIP:
You can access the card from root exp. or from Astro? ie it's still showing the extension right? When was the last time it was working properly? What rom were you on when it first started happeneing? Have you downloaded any non market apps since then? Are all your roms on current update? You said you have tried both a sense and AOSP rom right?
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
i was able to narrow it down....it's a file within .androidsecure...so now i have to sort through 131 files in there. but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel!

with .androidsecure renamed i am able to install apps, mount/unmount. etc. so it's got to be something in there that is loading when the phone loads...i wonder what?:confused:

i'll update when i find out in case anyone comes across this problem too.

see info above (quickly....yes, no (astro is in sd card), about three days ago, MetroDroid, since then couldn't download/install anything, everything is updated, tried both CM6.0 and this rom. but see above. since problem is a file in the .androidsecure folder, whether i was wiping and going to cm6 or back to sense that file wouldn't be modified by the recovery wipe correct?
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I know the problem its the 200 apps or one app not getting along with another app. You are the first person that I have come across that has that many apps 200+ apps is a crazy amount of apps.
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
well there are 131 asec files in that folder. so at least 131 apps + the ones on the phone memory.

but why the surprise with the amount of apps? isn't that why we get 16gb and 32gb memory cards?
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
the problem file was

se.nena.nenamark1-1.asec

for the benchmark NenaMark

that was the last app i had installed before i overclocked my phone into rebooting. and that's when the problems starting. hindsight is always 20/20:rolleyes:

new development. i installed another app and rebooted and the same error happened. NenaMark was off from the android_secure folder but i was back to 131 files. i removed some other apps and booted again and everything is fine. so it looks like 130 .asec files are the limit? at 131 files I get the same problem?

moved 130 of the 131 files back and the phone ran fine. put that one file in, and problems came back. removed the file and all is well again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonD_F:
Hi, have been a regular visitor but now I have need to post :)

I wanted to unroot the phone so I could update on Kies, after the unroot was applied the phone would not boot past the S logo.

So booted into recovery mode and did a factory reset which worked but now I can't log into my google account "Can't establish a reliable data connection to server" is all I seem to get, anyway around this ?

I also cannot get connected to Kies due to MTB USB device drivers not installing and the phone will not show up in my computer.

I have tried all the fixes I have found using Google but none seem to work for either problem, I wish I left her as she was, running really well and looking nice :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
hey guys,

ive just started to learn how to modify apks and use adb.

my problem is that after i pull the file, i modify the icon i want to change, re-sign it and push it back to the phone. after i reinstall, the icons have not changed :S i re-pulled it, and the icons in the drawable_hdpi file are the one i wanted.

also, completely unrelated to that.... in adb when i try to run adb remount, it says permission denied, but im rooted and i even tried running the shell root beforehand aswell.

i ran a search and followed the various instructions from the different threads and forums but im just stuck at that point

thanks guys
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
If you're getting permission denied how have you pushed it back?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
i push it to the sdcard lol because it wont let me push to the system/app folder nor the data/app folder. i check my screen and a pop up appears saying that superuser granted access, so i have that.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Then it's no wonder your icons haven't changed if you haven't installed it to the phone.

Try, but keep your phones screen on whilst you try it...

adb shell (enter)

su (enter)

...allow super user access on phone...

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
ok i just tried that. when i typed su, it echoed and on my phone it said "unknown has been grandted superuser permissions" so i didnt need to click allow or anything.

then i typed the mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system and got mount: operation not permitted

any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try...

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb shell

su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

...and report back.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
yup that worked, i got an echo without errors :)

EDIT: ok after that i then tried to push the apk to the system/app and also the data/app folders, but i got a different error this time.

it said failed to copy .apk permission denied
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try, in a terminal on the phone...

su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh

I always struggle trying to get permissions after I've first rooted but can never remember the exact sequence, but do know it's a combination of what I've suggested.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
ill give it a try after uni lol. thanks for all the help mate, its awesome having a place to get advice and help :D

EDIT: finally got it working... i pushed the file to sdcard then used the terminal emulator and used:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

cd sdcard

cat x.apk /data/app/x.apk

and that worked perfectly lol
