[Droid X General] Adaptive13:
Hi guys,

I wrote the Android ID Changer (see the market) and it appears not to work with the Droid X 2.2. I wrote using the Galaxy S as a development/testing platform and apparently things are different enough.

Can anyone point me to the procedure for manually updating the android id on the Droid X? It is probably as simple as the settings.db file containing the android id being in a different location.

Thanks for the help...
[Droid X General] mruno:
I would love to see this work on the x. It would probably fix the problem with the storm8 games.
[Droid X General] braway:
it should be the same as for the droid2

if not, then maybe someone can look near this place:

should be in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

table name is "secure"

_id=24

name=android_id

btw: thanks for the app, when I manually changed this file my phone got stuck in a droid-logo-boot-loop (droid2) :/
[Droid X General] mruno:
does anyone know how to update the android ID for the x?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrotSquawk:
I am trying to hard-reset my phone. I am stuck at a black screen with a magenta LED after seeing the SE logo.

I have held the power button while holding the L/R buttons (I tried to use the s/w method but it froze.)

Now the phone does nothing but sit there like a fingerprint magnet.

What is the correct keypress combination to return this phone to factory?

It has not been flashed to 2.1 but has been rooted and had app2SD installed (the source of my issues...but that is for another day)

L/R then power? (when do I let go of each button??)

Vol down then power?

Camera then Power?

Finger up my butt then power?

Help!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Take the battery out for 10 seconds then try again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrotSquawk:
no difference...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try a reflash.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrotSquawk:
17th time the charm

SEUS did the trick

went into flash mode and it's updating the phone

Tks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrotSquawk:
spoke too soon

guess I have to reflash.

I'd like to reflash to factory fresh.

Is that built into the ROM via keycommands or via ADB shell access?
[Droid Eris General] Dan_Brutal:
This is my friends eris. All I can say is wow. Built like a tank. The touch screen still works like new.
[Droid Eris General] MrObvious:
Ouch. Maybe you can replace the touch screen glass?
[Droid Eris General] Dan_Brutal:
He is just upgrading to a droid x.
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
was it actually shot by a gun?

and nice pic for the lock screen heheheh
[Droid Eris General] Dan_Brutal:
It does a body good.
[Droid Eris General] amfetamine:
Same thing happened to me 4th July w/end. Face plant on asphalt. LCD was fine, digitizer still worked. Got a few glass splinters though :(

I bought a 'for parts' off ebay for like $40, swapped out the digitizer and have some spare parts for my junk drawer:) Just waiting for the trackball to fubar.

[Desire HD General] layne:
Has anyone else noticed on a DHD (any Froyo device?) the calendar just shows 5/11/20100 and doesnt mention what day it is anywhere?? (this is in day or agenda mode...)

I find this so annoying...anyone else?? anyone found a fix??
[Desire HD General] palexr:
Hmmm....

Mine does.

Have a look in :

Menu > Settings > Date & Time > Select date format

You should be able to choose from

[Desire HD General] layne:
Ah yes! Brilliant! Thank-you so much.
[Desire HD General] wakers:
Does anyone know how to make the calendar show todays appointments once you get to today it shows tomorrows appointment if that makes sense I use mine as a reminder to do things on particular days
[Desire HD General] Basil3:
Cheers for this, it has solved a problem that I hadn't got around to figuring out!

The only other problem I have with the calendar is the search function. If I type in a certain appointment, it won't show every occurrence of that appointment in the results. I thought this used to work on my stock hero.
[Desire HD General] AndyCr15:
Do you not forget to do todays appointments if today already shows tomorrows???
[Desire HD General] wakers:
Yeah I do forget to do todays that's my issue lol
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
anyone have the service manual for our phones?
[Vibrant General] presence06:
So after this crappy update known as JI6 and terrible battery life (me and others have had..), I rooted my phone and started freezing and removing the crapware that T-Mobile and Samsung added to this phone. I have backed up all the apps I removed so I have them on my SD card.

My question is, when we get Froyo or whatever update does come next for us would it be wise to go back to stock? Remove root and put all the apps back? I read on the Android Forums that people were advising others to factory reset before doing the update. What do you guys say about this?
[Vibrant General] JakeRadden:
I personally would say go back to stock JI6 OTA. Otherwise you are risking bricking your phone like people did when JI6 came out.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Is it simply doing a Factory Reset or is there more to it?
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
To be extra safe.. you could ODIN back to JFD, then ODIN JI6 and you should be good to go. That might be a little overkill since you haven't done that much to your phone.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Haha, yea I'm not that adventures to go in-depth and start tweaking settings and what not. I just want to go back to stock easily for the next update so I don't brick my phone.
[Vibrant General] tructo:
The best way to odin it. I dont think factory reset help
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
+1 vote for Odin to JDF then push Froyo when it comes out. There's nothing like the clean feeling of a freshly installed ROM....ahhhhh

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Did this really warrant a new thread? Ask your questions on which ever thread you've tried.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Painkille5:
ya bro your right iv shouldnt open a thread for that.

i just didnt ask simple question in an opened thread cuz i had to many different questions -part of them are words ,like shortcuts that i didnt understand.

and the other reason is that i had no time i gtg soon..

nvm sorry for doing this :P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Post your questions and read the answers when you get back, which you might have had already had you asked them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Painkille5:
ok ill just ask my questions here.. first general info.

my phone is from france- and im from israel

some 1 unlocked it for me (paid for it) to work in israel.

and now- i want to update to 2.1

i dont want to wait for france update (anyways i get no benefit of that) so i undarstand that i should flash, and than somehow use 2.1 rom.

1.what is seus? is it same as pcc? how should i update my phone before flashing? *because i downloaded pcc and checked there for updates via support zone and was told that i have the lattest version (phone was mounted ) but i read that the phone should be in flash mode when u do the drivers thing(with pcc or seus idk).

2.to what version should i rebrand?

*i was reading in this forum since the nordic generic was out but now i see "Global World Firmware 2.1" etc..

3.if i flash, upgrade version or anything else..can i loose the unlock for my country? is there an easy way to do it anyway?(unlock divice to work in country X)

4. when i tried to flash i got an error, but i tried few ways (including from other forums) so now i download the file from Bin4ry and will ask about the error after i got it- for now answer me about my 3 first questions please
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
No, SEUS is just a program to update your phone, where as PCC can do it, but also allows you to manage your phone, to a degree, but I prefer to use SEUS.

Flashing will wipe your phone if you choose, so it's irrelevant.

Take your pic, it's up to you.

No, if you unlock a phone to use any sim card it doesn't matter which country you're in.

Any errors then read the suggestions suggested on the guides.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Painkille5:
ye bro i get u but i didnt mean that

1.i read that i need to check for avialable updates in SEUS before flash or use rom - so i dont know how to get that done (where i get SEUS?)

2. i know that ill decide - i just know nothing about that, and thats why i ask for your advice :) (if it doesnt matter ill just do nordic, but u get my question..)

3.it wasnt reguilar sim-free , it was unlocked to work in my country

4.yep thats what i said i will do but i just didnt understand some explanations, first i got to do the SEUS thing as was writen in the guides, so i waited till i get to that point of error (or see if i will get) and then ask..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Ask google.

Wasn't aware they came "country" locked.
[Streak 5 General] mmp7:
Hi all,

I have an O2 streak running Stephen 1.1.1 ROM. The phone is unlocked with Rebel sim to work on orange.

I am having very bad 3G connection. I am in a very well covered area and never had any problem with my old HTC touch HD.

There are 50% of times that I cannot connect to the net work. Then I have to reboot the phone for it to work, sometimes more than once. When it connected, the 3G sign turned into H and I can enjoy the full speed. But when the webpage loads and there is no traffic, the H turned back into 3G and it will take forever to reconnect if it will ever connect.

I don’t think the setting is wrong as I never changed anything. I tried following combo

Dell streak + rebel + orange sim = don’t work,

Dell streak + rebel + 3 sim = work

It doesn’t look like there is something wrong with the streak of rebel. Then I tried to put the orange back into my orange touch HD

Touch HD + orange sim = work

Touch HD + rebel + orange sim = work

So now it’s one possibility, orange sim doesn’t work with phones from other network? Is this even possible? Is anyone else been using Dell streak + rebel + orange sim combo can give me some feedback?

Many thanks.
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
I just thought maybe that Orange's coverage was a bit crap in my area but I've been getting really really poor data service with Orange. I've got an unlocked direct from Dell unit and I was originally on O2 and I could get almost full phone service and full data while in my room in my house (on the outskirts of town and not in the middle of no where), but then I got an Orange contract and thats just gone down the pan. Now in my room I get half phone service and even worse data which seems to only sometimes connect to 3G, all other times its just G, and when it does go 3G, it's really slow and sometimes just non responsive.

So I have no idea whether this is a compatability issue or just poor coverage, though it seems that Oranges network does need to pickup what phone your using so they can register it on their network (so they can issue you a 3G sim instead of a normal 2G sim, which was a joke when my 3G sim card died after the first day of recieving it, only for them to replace it with a 2G one and then refused to replace it with a 3G one, so I had to kick off and insist that they replace like for like....but thats another story) so it could be that since they can't register your phone on the network that you don't have full access to their data service....just a thought!
[Streak 5 General] mmp7:
The coverage is not the problem as I live in a well covered area. The signal is always 3 or 4 bars.

This looks like the problem. As when the phone trying to connect, I can always see upload traffic but most of times no download traffic. Even when it connects, it taking much longer than it should be (when the sim is in orange touch HD or using a 3 sim).

Do you have any idea how can I solve this? Is there anything orange can do if I hassle their customer service?
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
I have no idea my friend, you'll just have to try. I thought maybe it was a signal issue as I am able to get it working (not at full speed but still working) when I'm out in the open in towns or cities. At the moment, I'm just guna wait a while until they have fully intergrated with T-Mobile as they are in the middle of setting up the merge of their masts. I did question that my data service has been crap compared to when I was on O2 and they just enabled me to connected to the T-Mobile masts when I can't connect to any Orange ones, but that doesn't really help not being able to use their data service properly. :(

The only reason why I'm using Orange is because of the amazing deal I got and that I actually get a phone signal while I'm at work (out in the middle of no where, where as with O2, I could only get 1 or 2 bars until I picked the phone up at which point I would lose it all)
[Streak 5 General] mmp7:
me too, don't want to leave orange as I can't get my current deal anywhere else. I probably just have to get use to the bad connection.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pandabanana:
just bought a G2 from someone on craigslist

open the box and discovered the device has the infamous hinges AND reception problem!!!!!

I'm located in Canada will t-mo be able to send me a replacement across the border? any alternatives?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:
I don't think Tmo will be sending you a replacement since you got it through CL. I'd suggest calling up HTC directly and seeing if they can help you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I've come to believe there is no hinge issue. Yes, I've been brainwashed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdTeach1680:
I doubt tmo is going to replace a phone bought from cl, this is a risk you take when buying this way. The hinges on mine do the "auto open/close" thing too but in the month I have had it it has not been an issue. The hinge itself is strong just not spring loaded.... non issue.

Spotty service you can do 1 kof 2 things, 1 temp root and do the manup themed rom I found it more stable or 2 do the ota update I did both and the update is better for service....
[G2 and Desire Z General] grex49:
Hinge problem......what hinge problem thats the design dont listen to everyone turning there phone upside down.:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] drm916:
I am on my second G2.. and I can confirm that this second has a much crappier hinge. The hinge on my first phone would spring open or closed. This new one doesnt snap into place like the first one. I will be sending mine back. Not sure if I am going to get a new G2 or a mytouch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
I bought a motorola cliq on craigslist 2 months after the person had purchased it. But it still had the 1 year manufacture warranty from first purchase date. I dont know if the border will be an issue but the purchase will not be an issue. They have the record from the IMEI number.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Get the mytouch. The g2 iz amazing, I loved it. But I think the mytouch iz all around better
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
You should try getting the mannual update link on this forum. I did it yesterday, and since, I have not had any reboots, nor freezing that require battery pull. Signal strength is much better, being that I barely get signal at my desk, and now I can actually hold a conversation. Also, battery life seems to have improved a bit...where I was getting maybe 40% by Noon, it's 4:00 PM as I am writting this and I have 32% left.....

I have an issues...I have never been able to be hypnotized.....much less brain washed....my hinges still suck!!!!!

I just purchased the thin plastic rubberized cover for the phone (I think you have the same one) bcs the OEM T-Mo gel is very heavy...I think that had something to do with making the hinge problem worst.

It's really not a non-issue, except for the fact that I paid $250 for this phone plus hipping and taxes and I really find the hinge to be a POS...and not really acceptable at those prices. Now with that said, It really annoys me when I walk I can actually hear the phone "slapping" as I take strides....that really gets under my skin!!!

T-Mo will not stand by the product as defective, that pisses me off even more...they know that they sold a defective product and now are calling it a design feature.... I wonder what would have happened if Toyota said that about their break issue.....lol!
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
K

Couldn't have said this better, kudos to you, man the hinges are defective! Seriously I can't believe the people who agree that its a feature lmao, yea let toyota said the break issue was a feature too, only imagine... lmaoooo. But its just a phone who cares right let people pay their money and that's it, yea iight I want this hinge issue solve by htc or tmo I'm sending it back htc so they can put stronger magnets on the device. In case y'all didn't know someone found weak magnets on the G2 with a paper clip I think on the sides of the keyboard I read this on a tmo forum like three people found the magnets. Well I guess ima send their piece if ****ty hinge G2 for a fix and they better put stronger magnets

Tmo has been a total disappointment on this device for me. Can't believe they're trying to be like apple with the iphone 4 as they refused to admit it was a design defect/flaw and the phone just wasn't been hold the right way lmaoooo. Things like mass production of defective device can happen guys just because the majority of G2 got this problem doesn't mean it was ment to be like this. Look at toyota, do you think the break issue was a feature?

That's cool that's a lovely feature a car that has a not always functional break, yea and they targeted for crazy people if a normal people buys it and they don't like our new feature they can return their car. Its the spontanious break feature, your breaks may not work at times and at times it will, enjoy our new feature it is targeted for people who love to die :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
No kidding.....I sent back my first phone for two reasons....the hinge was absolutely loose, and multiple freezes a day, with at least one batt pull a day!

They sent me a second phone....I really tried to deal with the issues, but I called (Day 14th), they told me that my Buyers remorse period had already ended, that there was nothing they could do about the hinges nor the reboots!!!! I received my phone on Oct 15th, on the 29th I called to have it replaced. They told me that the 14th day had been the 28th, bcs they count the delivery date as the first day....I pretty much lost it at that point and told the gal that she was full $#it!!!! I told her that it was like saying that the day a bay is born, they are already a day old!!!!

I am certainly beginning to doubt TMO claim for #1 on customer service....I seem to the same lame service I had with ATT when I left them 10Yrs ago!...i guess not sucking like ATT is the new definition of great cust serv....shish!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Wow how does the delivery day count as day one SMFH you still was on your remorse period is just been 14 days since you got the device they are so full of it, if this was to happen to me all I would've lost it even worst than you did

All I can say is

1.they really messed up badly on this device: hinges are crap, nothing they can do about that for those who already have the crappy hinges but exchange for crappier or better hinges

2. They're trying to cover their **** up by brainwashing people to believe the hinges are built that way, I feel bad for those who were brainwashed.

3. Tmo badly fail to explain the storage to people before they realese the phone. It does have a 4gb internal mem but the thing is due to froyo the memory has a limit for downloading apps, mytouch 4g and galaxy s phones are also showing the 1.15 gb available mem even tho they obviously come with much more. Damn was that really hard to explain before the device launch! But they better learn from this.

4. This phone probably has the most exchanges and returns in tmo history. And the saddest part is that is only due to the hinges, for the most part and for the storage, some people were very angry at this I could tell from visiting numerous forums regarding the storage. I really didn't care much for storage tho I knew there mustve been an explanation for this and there was, some one took the device apart and found the mem to be a 4gb.

5. Could've they avoid this? Yes maybe if they explain storage, and made sure device was better built on hinges they wouldn't be experiencing these issues. Some even found magnets on the device on the sides of the keyboard, this means that they used the wrong magnets.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
I think this hinge issue is crazy, I mean yea what a great feature so it was basically made so it opens easily LOL I makes me imagine tmo making cars and me buying a car that has loose doors that would open on a turn lmao, and the excuse for that would be: this is a brand new feature that will allow you to open your car door easier than ever, no need to sturggle opening your door just barely pull the handle and it'll smoothly open lmfao, I only laugh at the people who believe tmo on this. That's a lovely feature
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pandabanana:
thanks for the responses guys, the seller agreed to refund me the money. I'm wondering if I should get another g2 after seeing all these complains
[G2 and Desire Z General] JonJace24:
To everybody including PandaBanana I agree there's a hinge issue. Except in my case probably not that serious. I don't hold my phone upside down and when I do to show people the problem it barely hangs down as much as other people. Its unfortunate but I would rather this then the phone be even more bulkier if they would've went with a regular slider mechanism. Especially since I was an original iphone user I can say I'm mostly satisfied. Battery and the android keyboard is my only concerns. I like the hacker friendliness with the OS and I must say besides the hinges which is not bad on mine I'm really satisfied with the build quality. If anybody doesn't believe me about the hinge problems I can take pics and show y'all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zj45499:
You mean you hinges are tight and they don't pop open when they're held upsidedown?....

Lucky Guy...........

Regarding the spring thing. Is there really some visible spring in sight?
[G2 and Desire Z General] t3rabyte:
Total Fail.

While the G2 is snappy and fun to play with, it's a piece of crap. The amount of problems that people are having with hardware and software is just ridiculous.

If you're thinking of upgrading to the G2, don't so it!

I went back to my Nexus One and couldn't be happier.

Screw you TMobile and your weak-hinged, missing-memory, daily-crashing, dead-pixel piece of crap phone!
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
I think it's HTC, it's not all T-Mobile's fault. After all this phone is marketed as the desire z in europe. What a shame this phone is in my opinion. I will be selling it soon. Such a great build quality: brushed aluminum with silicon coated plastic, but with loose, wobbly hinges. I find using the hardware keyboard too uncomfortable for daily use because of the hinges. I'll continue my wait for the perfect android phone. Or perhaps if the iphone does come to t mobile, I'll settle for it.
