[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reb0rn:
I was one of the first that got the oficiall 2.1 update and i stumbled upon something.

When i got it i just used google sync on almost everything. but then i realised i needed some apps that i had made a backup of by using MyBackup PRO. So i thought that "oh well, might just sync the contacts again".

Thats when all hell started to break loose on my poor phone, it was lagging like CRAZY, all the time. Didnt matter what i did, still the same issue...

So i formated and reinstalled everything on the phone, and everything was going extremly smooth. Like the first time experience all over again.

Then i realized "Damn, i havent restored my contacts" and then it hit me. All my problems started when i restored contacts using ANYTHING else BUT Google's own sync. Cuz once i was going to restore it using MyBackupPro it said something about not being able to restore cuz no Google account was found on contacts, but i already had logged in my entire phone with my google account, exxept syncing my contacts with Google.

So my guess is that they have incorporated the contacts too much with Timescape and Google Sync so if u use like Titanium Pro or MyBackup or watever backup program, it will give u issues with this update.

But its meerly a speculation from my side...

Other Point....

The other thing I did notice a lot of is the developer/Diagnostic tool this I imagine will be used to send logs and stats back to SE for 2.1 optimisations for newer firmware, Though it very random at times.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
Yea, i'm curious what is it...

I think i'm going to freeze it with Titanium.

Also another process running is R2R or something.

Anyone knows what is it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
Yea, I was afraid I would have to start from scratch again. Not sure what else to do atm, but "home" is using a lot of cpu power.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
Remove "Home" and use a 3rd party launcher (LauncherPro, ADW Launcher)

You will be surprised how much quicker they are ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kradovan:
what can be deleted

There is much better way to clean SE garbage applications than manual delete

use SystemApp Remover it is commercial applications it can be found here http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/systemapp-remover_kbyr.html

price is 1$

it works great on rooted x10i

applications are uninstalled from phone as they were never installed.

Safe to uninstall:

Korean keyboard

Japanese keyboard

Chinese keyboard

Danish keyboard

TrackID

moxiemail

quadrapop

backup & recovery

facebook

Wise Pilot

Creatouch

playnow and two accompanying files

there are some others like e-manual etc. But search forum for more complete list and SystemApp Remover can backup applications before uninstall so you can restore them if things go south

for contact backup use SE sync it is a good one if you use other SE phones

that's my 2 cents
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmanthebell:
R2R

Updates Processing application (Ready to Receive)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
Great recommendation, thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
Sounds about right :D

Now, can you explain what is doing as i don't have a slightest idea :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
Yea, I really need to clean house.

Anyone know the thread for safely removing 2.1 SE apps?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
Goggle search is also using a lot if cpu power, no idea what it's doing :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
Also, "contacts storage" is eating up a lot of cpu power. Man, between facial recognition and other background apps, the phone is virtually useless.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtone:
So 2.1 has finally arrived. After flashing it using the Global Flash-tool version as I have a Dutch branded X10i it seemed extremely slow, at first I waited and waited. No result.

After checking with 'Android System Info' and 'System Panel' the CPU usage is between 99% and 100%. Constantly!

It's strange that no process is using 100%, at some point 'acore' is using 100%, not all the time.

Is anyone else having the same problem? Lag anyone? Check your CPU usage!

I've all-ready re-flashed and rooted twice. Same issue...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833786
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtone:
Fixed it!

1. Updated with Flashtool

2. Formated SD and removed all pictures (1000+)

3. Factory reset

4. Restore with PCC 2.0

5. Factory reset

6. Format SD

NO MORE LAG!

:D

Shortly after QuickDesk BETA 0.4 was released, QuickDesk Pro hits the Android Market!

QuickDesk is a dashboard application that provides quick access to widgets/shortcuts without leaving the current running application.

Imagine turning your Wi-Fi on without leaving your current running application or being able to pause your music without leaving a game while you are playing it.

However, all these are just the basics! QuickDesk can do more for you! For example, Task Switching, Task Management and Application Management just to name a few.

Without further ado, let’s see what is in QuickDesk Pro!

QuickDesk Pro

Landscape Mode

, a SEPARATE 6×3 QuickDesk screen! *NEW*

Force Stop

, a function which stops a “misbehaving” application! *NEW*

Drag Up

, a function which drags up an application from QuickPanel onto QuickDesk screen! *NEW*

Convenient to force stop an application which is not on the QuickDesk screen!

[Legend General] shuikit:
Hey all

Basically I've been exchanging emails with HTC support (UK) asking about when the SMS sort issue (ie that the Messages application will start at the top of threads rather than the end) which was introduced by the OTA would be fixed. I had raised the issue when I first received the OTA 3 months ago and was told to wait as they were working on a fix.

3 Months on, I thought it would be time to chase them up and express my displeasure of waiting so long for what seems to be a simple fix which they had introduced.

Anyway, they're currently saying that this issue hasn't JUST affected HTC devices and they have been basically blaming Google for this issue.

Does anyone know of any other devices which have been affected as I thought it was only the Legend?

Basically I'm trying to figure out if I'm just being fobbed off!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
Hi Everyone,

I m kindly asking you to help me push MS into fixing the avi/xvid issue since conversion times are too long.

edit Several members have also raised concern that the Zune software transcodes videos where there is really no need!

I have created a post on the official MS support forums and the fellow users have supported the post but MS is trying not to give a proper answer on the issues unless people reply enough or click the "I would like an answer too" button. The post seems to be ending up unanswered and pushed back. I need to let the post grab MS attention!

I would like MS to escalate the issue internally but I need more input! :D So please be so kind!

I suggest that we could do this for other issues as well!!!

Their forum relies on Live IDs so it is just about entering your username. (Doesn't take long)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stairmand:
It can be fixed quite easily.

1) Write down the spec of your computer on a piece of paper.

2) Go to your local PC shop

3) Hand them the piece of paper and ask for something faster at encoding video

4) Happiness :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Yep. Crap computers suck at transcoding video. Even a better graphics card would work much better, since lots of GPUs these days can offload much of the conversion.

Some notebooks were sold without multi-core processors (but are still 64-bit, some people assume 64-bit = multi-core), and lots of consumers have things like mismatched ram sticks and the like that can reduce their computer performance for these types of tasks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
Thanks a lot guys!!!! Appreciated! :D

It looks like they are still ignoring the issue. I think I might try to upvote the thread tomorrow again.

My general issue is that I am accessing different PCs all the time. Let it be work, uni, friends, or my home laptop. So I generally just need a fast way to get stuff onto the device.

Maybe we get lucky and they enable it again :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (nico):
I personally don't think this issue should have a high priority, as Zune software reencode your file on the fly.

Even at Microsoft, ressources are limited, and there are lots a other stuff I would like first (custom ringtones, multitask, silverlight and flash on the browser...)

My 2 cents.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
The issue here is that it works on the Zune HD without re encoding or demuxing and the same applied to the wp7 emulator until they decided to take the feature out...

Maybe it will be a OEM specific feature?!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir. Haxalot:
Name one reason for DivX /XviD support, except that you want to play your pirated movies...

Transcoding XviD shouldn't take much time with a modern computer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
Why do they have to be pirated? There are those of us who have huge DVD/BD libraries ripped to xvid (and later on MKV). Personally I have several hundred DVDs that I have painstakingly converted to xvid for digital storage and easy access from my HTPCs.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
You could make the same assumption about mp3s. I started ripping in 99.. I don't have the resources to rerip my music into something better now. And in a real case scenario I don't want to be told 2 years from now that an MP3 player doesn't play mp3s anymore because they are "all" considered to be pirated .....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruscik:
I have pleny of DVD's/BD that on top of normal movie have a digital copy that can be used with portable players. They come in many formats on those discs and all require to enter a code before 1st play so it can check if it is valid copy.

I do that and then can play them on my PC even via Zune. Formats I have are WMV, AVI, MP4 and DIVX.

My death race in wmv that works on windows 7 fresh install (with no extra codes and net access) is converted by zune. Annoying as zune officially supports WMV and even plays that movie.

Two mp4 movies (Mummy and Mummy 2) from the same Box set one just copies and works one is converted from mp4 to mp4. Some Divx movies are "converted" but it lasts 1 to 2 min aka it only changes extension while some are properly reconverted but resolution or quality are the same afterwards (720p or standard resolution no matter). There is a problem there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamwebb28:
Hi all

Had an HD7 for the last week, great phone. I've found a couple of little bugs (eg if your browsing in IE and go back to the home tab, use some other apps then go back to IE, theres no way of going back in the browser as the back button just takes you back to the home page or previous app?)

Anyway, onto my question, does the Zune player on the phone support gapless playback of tracks? I've got a lot of albums of live concerts etc that would normally playback seemlessly on my old iPhone but have gaps when played on the Zune. Couldnt find any options anywhere to change it. Does anyone know if this is supported or not?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] LJKelley:
I know gapless is supported on the ZuneHD. But I know even then some people had issues in getting it to work, and it is all based on how your albums are tagged in the ID3. Once I get my HD7 I can confirm if albums that played fine gapless on the ZuneHD do so on the HD7 and i'll inspect the ID3 to figure out what the appropriate tags are.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamwebb28:
Thanks! All my music is imported into Zune from iTunes so maybe iTunes hasn't tagged the music properly? Or Zune can't read the itunes tags?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Gapless works on Zune HD as long as there is no DRM...thus, if you bring your own tracks with no DRM, gapless works perfectly...however, if you have a zune pass, funny enough, gapless does not work...

This is a known issue for many months but MS has no fixed it so far...(people seemed more upset at the lack of apps for the Zune HD than fixing core music related issues)...
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamwebb28:
Thanks. I seem to get this from my own ripped CD's as well as music bought from iTunes and music from my Zune subscription.

I might try re-ripping one of my CD's in Zune and see if it works.

Gapless playback seems to be a massive missing feature of an audio device?!
[Windows Phone 7 General] DaveyBoy72:
A big one for me is this. I've got 200 or so live/dj mix albums, so not having this feature has pretty much made my new HD7 worthless to me.

All my music is in .M4A format and was ripped/converted in iTunes. I also tried ripping a mix CD to .MP3 format, but got the same result.

I just don't understand why MS haven't implemented it. If there are no plans to add this, then my HD7 will have to be returned.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hammered09:
I know this is an old thread, but I've noticed something when using bluetooth and my music...

I use my HD2 (WinMo7) when I'm down the gym and a lot of my mix tracks often jump at the mix point, some even have some stuttering...

However I've noticed that when I'm streaming via bluetooth to my car stereo, the same tracks don't jump or stutter and play virtually continous. There is only the odd tiny space on some tracks...
[Windows Phone 7 General] wp7dev007:
Beatles USB gapless

My Beatles, Abbey Road Remastered 2nd side sounds great on Zune on WP7. Very slight breaks between songs, but nothing objectionable to me.

Make sure that when you select the music, you select the Play All or Play Album selection. Don't try to play the 1st track and expect things to go uninterrupted.

Definitely the Abbey Road playback is different than the first side, which has song-to-song gaps.

Enjoy Windows Phone 7!

-e
[Windows Phone 7 General] BRi7X:
I've been digging around recently in trying to get some gapless in WP7.

I then finally notice that the Zune PC software doesn't even do gapless! The gap is shorter, I suspect due to the more powerful hardware, but it's still not gapless.

Windows Media Player seems to emit a slight click

Winamp and Foobar both seamlessly transition to the next song.

But, back to WP7. It's now apparent that either MS needs to fix this (they didn't in Mango, so they probably won't for a while, if at all), or a third party app that doesn't use Zune could be created, (or ported).

Hi,

I try to modify the framework-res.apk.

It is working fine for the ROM I'm using (OpenDesire on a HTC Desire) but I don't want to flash a new framework file to my phone just to see how it looks when applied to a phone.

So I pulled the framework-res.apk from the running emulator

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .,

modified it and pushed it back to the emulator:

adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/
adb remount
adb shell
# cd /sdcard
# dd if=framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
# exit

After the dd the emulator restarts and gets caught in a bootloop. Is there a working way how I can change the framework-res.apk?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Don't take my word for it, because I'm not 100 % sure -

But pushing framework-res doesn't work. If you were to do that on an actual device you'd get bootloops or 90 % of the apps would Force Close - Resulting in yet another bootloop.

If you've got a Desire you can use The Online Theming Kitchen.

www.circle.glx.nl
[Android Themes] KBanause:
On my device (it is a HTC Desire) I do push the new framework in recovery. But I don't want to push a new framework to my phone every time I have changed some graphics. That's why I want to test it on the emulator first. But I can't get it to work on the emulator :(

The phone is very cool, I enjoy it, but I'd like to update it to 2.1.

I have rooted it with success using Universal Androot, I can explore the root files using ES File Explorer... but I don't know how to edit build.prop to change it to a nordic "version" ^^

e poi con seus ho aggiornato, usa root explorer per modificare il .prop, salva e riavvii e avvii seus , a me ha funzionato da Italia per sicurezza ti allego il mio file .prop che ho modificato con il numero 1238-0459 :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] reconpt:
I dont know if u can change the build.prop file with es

i did it with root explorer and this is what u should do:

in root explorer go to system and press the mount r/w in the top right corner

long press the build.prop file and click on open with text editor

here u have to change 3 numbers that look like this: 1238-???? (the ???? are the ones u need to replace)

replace the ???? with 0549

remember u have to replace that number in 3 places (they are all almost at the beginning of the file)

restart the phone, conect it to the pc via seus and voilá

hope this helps

hum sry i miss-read ur first post my first explanation was for an x10 mini and not the pro version.

as far as I know I never saw that number 1240-0917

the number of the build.prop in the nordic fw is 1238-8536 for the pro version

so i dont know if u have to change the whole number or just the last 4 digits cause my mini was already 1238-????

maybe someone else that has a pro can say something about this

I have been searching up and down for this for over half year since first heard of it earlier this year -- it is time to trade Nexus one to a bigger screen phone.

you would need to install all three apks, and only readinghub has launcher icon. from there, you can launch zinio or pressdisplay

for these who do not know yet zinio, it is the largest US e-magazine subscription provider. zinio for ios is one of the most downloaded non-game software. it has reading client for pc, mac, web flash. www.zinio.com
