[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You can find the threads in this section for getting 2.1, your computer hanging is a different issue however. I don't have XP so maybe someone else that does can help you with that.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion1116:
Hey, I had the same problem as you..

fyi: I'll be using SEUS and "Update Service" interchangeably

1. google "se update service x10", the first result should be the sonyerricson website. The page there is the download page for SEUS.

2. Download and install 'Update Service' (~35.3MB file).

3. Backup your phone data first.

4. Run SEUS and follow the onscreen instructions. I don't quite remember the exact steps, but it should be something like:

4a. Turn of phone, wait at least 30 secs.

4b. Plug in USB to phone.

4c. Hold 'Back' button on phone

4d. Plug in USB to PC.

5. SEUS should detect your phone and look for updated firmware. But it should also install your SEMC usb drivers that you need for the flash tool.

When I did the above, it didn't find any firmware updates for my phone, so I could just exit SEUS and use the 2.1 flasher in the other posts.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbird:
I've already tried Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and PC Companion as I mentioned in my earlier posts above but no success. Please shed some light on 2.1 flasher which u have mentioned. Also, I would appreciate if you could tell me how you resolved your issue. I'm not good at technicalities so I hope you would explain me things in simpler words.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion1116:
so the 2.1 flash I mentioned won't help your case right now, since you are still stuck at the 'New Hardware Found'.

I just reread your posts, and your computer hangs (ie.freezes?) when you plug in the device?

You will probably need to do the update on a newer (ie. better) computer... can you borrow a friend's computer? If your computer isn't hanging when you plug the device, then everything else will work out. So get your hanging computer issue resolved first.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
I think it is a major problem with your pc if the drivers cannot be installed.

At least one try is NOT TO RELEASE THE BACK BUTTON when Seus trys to detect your phone.

If all don't work your XP might be ****ed up and needs a fresh install at all.

If you are not willing to reinstall XP just try to get handson another PC to flash your phone ;)

Also be sure all VirusScanners and Firewalls etc are shut off!

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbird:
I've tried at least two desktop computers (both running on Windows XP) and both hang as soon as they find new hardware (only in case of Xperia X10). I tried other hardwares like Printer and another phone Sony Ericsson K750i. Surprisingly both worked perfectly well and drivers were also installed. I think I should give Xperia X10 a try on a laptop now. See what happens.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbird:
Issue has been resolved. I installed USB Flash Driver before opening SEUS and going for update. And when driver was successfully installed then I restarted the computer and then upgraded my Xperia X10i by using Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). Now, I'm having Android 2.1 which is working perfectly well. Thanks for your precious suggestion, friends.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofiaich:
Hi coldbird,

can I ask where did you get the drivers?

I checked the S-E site and it says there that the newest drivers are included in Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0

If I attach the X10 before opening PC Companion, then after a short while the Companion opens anyway.

I have disabled Kaspersky because I read somewhere that it can cause issues.

I still have not been able to update my friends X10.

Any advice welcomed.

Ofiaich :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novatliz:
Thank you for sharing the tip. It works for me too.

1) Installed the flash driver first by connecting the phone (switched off) to the pc while holding the back key button.

2) Once the driver successfully installed. Restart the pc. Switched on the phone.

3) Open the Sony Companion app and connect the phone.

Anyone know what they are doing, can you please fix this or create your own port. This rom is pretty sweet and would use it as a daily Rom. I will also donate to dev who get this working. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I'm using a Samsung Captivate unlocked on the Tmobile US network.

Incoming MMS get resize, I know Tmobile does this cause it's not a phone they recognized. Everytime I get an unlock phone this happen and I know I need to change the user agent to a phone they recognized.

I saw a few post on how to do it but it's for other phones, not sure if those fix will work for the Captivate. Anyone with a Captivate on TMOUS able to fix this problem yet?

Thank you:)

Dude, I gave you an Mms.apk that has exactly what you're looking for on the other thread you posted about this. Take the apk I gave you and move it into system/app or just flash my ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I did take your mms.apk from the other thread and try it.

It did not work. Maybe I'm installing it wrong.

Is ADB the only method to push it to the phone?

I'm transfering it to my SD card, copy it and using Root Explorer paste it into

system/app but when I go to open the application, the MESSAGING icon is not there.

What ROM are you using?

Thanks for your time
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Can someone tel me if I'm doing this right.

-Using Root Explorer extract a copy of Mms.apk from phone

-rename Mms.apk to Mms.zip

-WinRar extract the MMS.zip

-locate the mms_config.xml

-using hex editor changed the UA string (see picture).

-rezipped mms folder and change name to Mms.zip to Mms.apk

-put back into system/app

-reboot phone but the Messaging icon disappeared.

Also after editing mms_config.xml and save, there's an extra file

call mms_config.xml.bak, leave that file alone or what to do with it?

Thank you to anyone that can give me some help

Why does my HTC Leo on Android using desire hd Rom has. Way better battery life than my HTC Evo running myn 2.2 with collie battery tweak n no hvs kernel my Evo is 15 hr uptime. 5hr awake 8% hardy used vs my HTC hd2 16 hr uptime 14 hr awake at 40% playing music all day
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Because.......

What did HTC say to this question?

Maybe you were doing different things on each phone? Do they both have service with the same radios active?

Put your evo in airplane mode and listen to music and see how long the battery lasts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMan94:
When I first got my captivate the compass was reasonably ok but today I looked and its off almost 70 degrees. Did the figure eight recalibrate thing... no change. I've not had it 30 days yet and GPS is also not good. Time for a trade in?
[EVO 4G General] typeadam:
Looking for a "safe" range here..

I downloaded CurrentWidget to see how much current the phone is drawing while using various charging methods.

So:

- using the stock charger at home w/ a 10' usb cable (recommended from a site by many on xda) it hovers around 160 mA - charges slowly, but charges.

- using my computer w/ the stock cable it fluctuates between high-200 mA - mid-400 mA.

- using the stock charger at work w/ the stock cable it fluctuate between mid-400 mA up to high-800 mA AND the phone reaches 115-degrees from around 87-degrees in a few minutes! :eek: On top of that, it charges VERY quickly, however, sometimes, even though it says 'charging' the battery % is actually going down! As if all that power is draining the battery!

- using a car charger left over from my old, old Treo 800w, it fluctuates between mid-400 mA and mid-600 mA (temp always normal).

So my question is: what is a safe range for the current to be drawn at and why does the stock charger/usb cable seem to chaotic at times?

I don't really know much about electricity and currents and all that so if I'm using the wrong terminology, forgive me..

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Three reasons for the current to fluctuate:

1. Current widget may not be accurate

2. Background processes may be eating some of the charge being supplied- especially radio signal fluctuations

3. The battery will resist charge as it fills causing the charge current to be reduced.

Also, HTC and many other vendors use the usb pins to determine whether you are connected to a charger that can supply sufficient power, usb is rated at only 500ma,while the charger can supply up to 1000ma.

(For reference, the ipad charges at 2A).

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to charge at a high rate, since its common practice. In fact, folks have reported that the battery level goes down when using google navigate without a high power charger.

Finally, the Evo has an overheat circuit that will cutoff charge if the battery gets too hot.
[EVO 4G General] .jond:
This is interesting. My guess on the reboot issues is that it seems similar to how a computer acts when capacitors start pooping due to heat.

I always let my phone charge 8 hours while I sleep.

If it gets up to 115 degrees and stays there for 8 hours, that could maybe cause damage???
[EVO 4G General] typeadam:
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Today, it's been working fine. It's an on-and-off thing... Oh well, long as my phone doesn't start to melt I guess I'm fine. :D
[EVO 4G General] quocamole:
rule of thumb is to not supply the battery more than 70% rate of current of the battery's capacity. for instance, if the battery's capacity is 1000mAh, the charger should not exceed a charge rate of 700mAh.

imo, the stock charger is a tad too fast (1000mAh/1500mAh = 67%). i hardly ever use the stock charger and charge either via usb (~500mAh) or an external charger i bought on ebay rated at 800mAh. a slower charge also provides a more quality charge and will extend the charge as well as the life of the battery. the faster a battery charges, the hotter it will get. heat is the enemy with batteries.

try charging with just usb for a couple days and i guarantee you will see an increase in battery life (all other things constant of course). better yet, pick up an external charger off ebay and get even better results - even more quality charge since it is not discharging and charging at the same time. i strictly use an external charger and can hang on to 100% for over 4 hours w/o use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevial:
Long time member - first time poster.

I have a bizarre problem. I have flashed and used at least a dozen ROMs, with various kernels, most recently Myn's RLS 2 as my daily driver.

Recently, I installed MIUI EVO v1.29, which worked fine. However, when I tried to flash back to Myn's, I got a "process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" error at start-up. Same error anytime I use the phone or dialer functions for anything. Phone will not make calls or connect to Sprint, force-close when trying to view software properties in "About Phone," won't allow me to do a "restore" from ##DATA#. Same problems on Cyan, Frost and several others.

However, all functions in MIUI still work fine with no error messages as does the latest rooted stock. All other ROMs I've tried are basically non-functional.

I have tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and user data. I have tried updating to the latest radio and PRI (successfully). I have tried restoring from ##DATA# in the working stock ROM.

Any ideas on how I can fix my phone and continue to enjoy custom ROMs?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonny_ftm:
Hi,

I have to questions:

1- I don't have a data plan and I see the SGS always using my data connection (EDGE) and my credit reducing all over the day. I tried disable background synch, but it still checks for data from time to time. Is there any way, like in symbian, so that applications prompt before using my data connection? Or, can I easily activate/block data connection to use it when I like, without going in plane-mode?

2- How can I make the phone application show an icon for incoming calls with either "Home", "Mobile", "Office" image. It will make it easier to see from where my contact is calling, just like in Symbian and other mobile phones

Many thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wnpaul:
Get the app "apndroid" which will allow you to easily turn GSM/UMTS data on and off.

But frankly an Android phone makes no sense without a data plan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonny_ftm:
Many thanks for the info

Any way to make applications prompt for data connection?

Also, any idea about my question 2, the phone application caller ID icon for incoming calls?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonny_ftm:
After some research, I opted for Quick Settings application, freeware too. It rocks and it is said less buggy than APNDroid
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deskhack:
I have a car stereo that supports streaming Bluetooth audio, my MyTouch 3G Slide sounded great with Pandora (on high quality) or playing MP3's but on the MyTouch 4G there is definitely something 'wrong.'

The audio sounds slightly distorted on both Pandora and MP3s, mostly on high sounds. reducing the phone media volume does not help, it sounds like a bandwidth issue (such as an A2DP audio profile not being set to the right bandwidth or sampling rate).

Anyone else try this out yet?

EDIT: I found this could be because of the A2DP 'bitpool' setting being too low? Similar issue on the Evo.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I stream daily music over bluetooth to my Madzda 2010 (built in bluetooth) and except some static crackling once in a while it sounds great. I had a N1 before and the sound is even better I think. I think there was a special issue with Pandora and other "internet radios"

and

the newer Android versions. I think that Google changed something to keep it compatible or so. Not an expert in that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorjonny:
mine sounds as good as my vibrant did... have you tested a bluetooth headset for calling or audio to compare? maybe a hardware issue if it sounds bad there too...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deskhack:
I picked up a second Mytouch 4g for comparison - no change on the bluetooth audio, both have the same issue with high end audio crackling via car audio (plugging in the analog cable sounds fine on both).

Interesting side note, the LCD on Mytouch #1 had a slightly pinkish hue whereas Mytouch #2 was what I would call normal tint. The pinkish hue was particularly noticable on white fonts or backgrounds which appeared off-white, or Grays which appeared slightly pink.

So I'm keeping phone #2; the bluetooth issue is most likely software related. If that is the case, I hope it will be fixed with an eventual root mod.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] student.driver:
I just wanted to add that the myTouch 4G I just got is working fine when using PowerAMP to my Mustang with SYNC. No crackling or other issues at any volume I could stand. :-) I did notice that the stock music app wouldn't respond to AVRCP commands unless it was brought into focus, which was kind of lame and why I went to PowerAMP.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deskhack:
Cyanogenmod resolves this issue

In my particular situation, with a Nissan OEM radio supporting bluetooth streaming audio, switching to the latest Cyanogenmod Nightly build fixes my audio quality issue. No more audio that sounds bandwidth limited, something resembling a 64kbps MP3.

One of the things i want is the ability to move ALL my apps to the sd card.
