Yeah... same here.. Damn irritating...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp9nki:
also would be glad about a solution. Ive already tried to filter either Google or Phone Contacts, but this doesn't have any effect.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superleeds27:
I use to have this problem on 1.6

I basically,backed up my contacts to memory card which created a .vcf. When the phoneook showed the contacts twice, delete them all and import from vcf.

This would solve the issue for me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
I'm syncing my contacts from Google though. These aren't imported from vcards.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Think I may have solved it!!!

In a contact with duplicates, click "Edit", click on the menu button and then click "Separate". This will remove the duplicate, and it then mysteriously disappears!

Unfortunately you will then have to click menu again and "Join" if you want it to link back up with Facebook contacts.

Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarylandCookie:
I just use MyPhoneExplorer :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp9nki:
helps, but dirty work for doing this for all contacts :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Yes I agree. I dont think the fault is with SE. I think it is fromthe Google Contacts merging process to remove duplicates. I think it keeps them hidden normally but somehow its showing on the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Still a few hidden duplicates in there somewhere... removed with Contact Analyzer 2. Quick and easy.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george1983c:
If u log into ur gmail and load up ur contacts u can auto filter duplicates
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Element:
The thing is ... synced dublicates don't come only from Google (aka Gmail) but also may come from Facebook as well.

And my question is , what if I DO want them to be merged so I can view a full detailed card of each of my contact with Facebook status , email , Facebook picture etc. but I don't want to have dublicate mobile number? I can't proccess the hidden-synced-from-facebook contact card just the one that I have saved , hope I'm not confusing you. :cool:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonzthegreat:
I had the same problem too at first.. so I factory restarted.. and just synced my facebook,twitter and gmail instead. The doubles I think came from my sonyericsson sync. ANOTHER THING IS, click the button on the upper left on the contact list, then click show contacts on facebook and twitter only.. I hid the Timescape facebook and timescape twitter
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akila87:
Thanks for the tip you saved the day :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njfpolyr6:
you can also try this...

when you are in your phone book...look at the phone book page very upper left hand corner and you will see a touch button with 3 heads. click on that, and then you can edit how to show the contacts in your phone book...

now i have a question on the google sync...do you guys have problem with google sync? after update to 2.1 my google account dun sync with the contacts anymore. Can you share if there is a solution to solve it??

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2002ro:
noticed a bug.... if you make a contact with just one entry, i cant edit it...

GPS isn't getting my location. Runstar is a great running app. anyway to fix it?

Please and thank you :D
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Run some other program to verify the GPS, like Google Maps, or "GPS Test" in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] manachinmaniac:
I'm in Asia, in the Philippines to be more specific. I think the problem has something to do with my GPS config. Don't you think? When I tried GPS Test from the market, I don't see any activity going on except for the compass...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hala101:
hello everyone,

i started rooting my X10,

i followed the instructions in step one, started my x10 in flashmood, pressed enter and the screen began to show messages then when it finished i unpluged my mobile from usb cable and tried to start it but it did not start . i removed the battery , put it again and tried to start it but again it did not start

did everything but the mobile is not responding to anything

even i tried to install a new software but the pc does not identify the mobile anymore, please helpppppppppppppp

is my mobile hardware got burned or is there anything i can do, please :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Normally the phone does not get burned! (i don't know anyone who bricked his phone)!

So please try to take out the battery for a least one minute and try to flash via SEUS on another USB-Port!

Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hala101:
i will try this solution,

thx Bin
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hala101:
by this , do u mean Sony Ericsson PC companion ? cuz the main problem is still the same, the pc does not identify that there is a mobile connected via USB port so how can i flash it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] somebloke:
firstly you dont mean rooting do you - rooting doesnt require flashing

you're installing bin4ry's 2.1 rom ?

you will need flash mode to do this so im sure you know how to do it.

if you still cant get the x10 to boot back up, make sure it's got plenty of charge then use SEUS to Repair it - you should still be able to get into flash mode to do this
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hala101:
all of this is not working, i think i might got a virus while using seus or the hardware got a problem
[7 Mozart General] the0ne:
Hi 7Mozart Owners

Does the earphone speaker in the front ( the one above the screen ) , double up as a loud speaker when you put the device in loud speaker ?

Thanks
[7 Mozart General] Omega Point:
I don't think so. There is a small speaker on the back which seems to act as the loud speaker.

EDIT: Just checked, the one on the back is the loud speaker.
[7 Mozart General] the0ne:
thanks mate
[7 Mozart General] agritech2:
I have been trying to use the radio on loud speaker, can't find a way to do it.. any suggestions? Thanks
[7 Mozart General] dov74:
Hi

If you press and hold on the thin white line while your in the radio application (the line that the frequency numbers sit on in the middle of the screen) then it brings up a menu. One of the options on that is for using the speaker.

Cheers.
[7 Mozart General] ericc191:
Out of curiosity, how is the loud speaker? Can you blast the volume without it getting crackly at all? Is it tinny sounding?
[7 Mozart General] Omega Point:
Quite loud and not too tinny. Copes with Lacrymosa by Evanescence reasonably well compared to most phone speakers anyway.

Hey guys,

Any chance anyone good at porting/rom cooking could port this ROM to the Legend?

Or are there any similar ROMs out there, ie. FroYo with Sense, for the Legend?

Apart from Titanium BU is there anything else I should do, to pull of a total system dump etc if I ever need to go back?
[Android Apps and Games] riahc3:
Hey

Im looking for a free WLM application. I think two things are important

1: Multilanguage

2: Just support for WLM or individual. Things like eBuddy and Trillian for Android are asking for a ID to group them all together.

A good example is Mercury Messenger, which supports individual logins, but had no multilanguage support.

Thanks to all those who help out.

Can anyone recommend a good system memory cleaner.

you dont need one. phone runs better when you actually dont mess with running apps and memory apps. froyo does it all!

i use cachemate, and my system definitely runs better with it on...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
I never meant a task killer. I just wanted something to clear out my cahce so they don't pile up. I'm well aware that apps / task shouldn't be killed in Froyo 2.2 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
Just like mino said, cachemate... Root, then run it.. Works great..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] TL24:
Honestly Cache Cleaner is a lot better than Cache Mate, just my opinion. Everyone has their own preference though, try both and see which one you like best.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] minotauri:
I like cachemate because it can be scheduled to run, whereas cache cleaner did not have that option before (it might now, but i have not used it in a while). I also think cachemate has more options than cache cleaner for clearing caches. but again, it's been a while since I tried the other.

[General Questions and Answers] Maxioum:
Hello to everybody,

I'm currently owning a french Samsung i780 (not branded) running Windows Mobile 6.0

I would like to upgrade my phone to, at least, Windows Mobile 6.1 because I think this version is great, much more than the 6.0 one.

But unfortunately I have to admit that I am completely lost between all available roms or upgrades that I could find on the internet.

Of course i've read many of your guides and threads about that subject, but I don't know enough to choose the right rom for my phone.

In the end, I would be very grateful if somebody could indicate me the right thing I have to do in order to update my 6.0 i780 to a french and stable version of Windows Mobile 6.1, conserving the french azerty keyboard.

Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my broken English.. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Maxioum:
Well, I have to believe that it must not exist..

Too bad :(
[General Questions and Answers] Maxioum:
I successfuly updated my phone to an english Windows Mobile 6.1 version.

The problem is that I have an azerty keyboard on my phone, which doesn't correspond to the rom keyboard (qwerty).

I read carrefuly the threads about that problem, but nothing worked..

What can I do to have my french azerty keyboard on my phone?

Thank you in advance

After the 2.1 update, the photos manually added to my contacts are in very bad quality when the person calls (Full screen call)

Is there any workaround or is it just to wait for SE to send out a fix?

not only bad too bad.................
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deebeepee:
Mine were exactly the same, as I'd backed up my contacts to my memory card before the update.

Solution is sadly to just go through the contacts and edit the photo again, put the same on back on and its fine, back to normal.

Im guessing its the way the contacts info has been compressed onto the memory card!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderpossuem:
They're bad if you use the default Facebook app for the contact photo. If you change them to use timescape Facebook for the photos they look significantly better.

Sometimes for me was even the same when i restart my x10 . but when you change the the pic its all okay and yea also sometimes when I change the picture the last used one stayed not the one which I add as new one ... weird ****

no its still pixellated even if you do that. but only when you are calling/getting a call from them

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Alihosny:
i am wondering since x10 mini and x8 are basically the same can we flash x8 with x10 mini 2.1 rom ?i sent Bin4ry a message asking and waiting for response.

p.s x8 was supposed to ship with 2.1 or 2.1 two weeks after release.what are you doing SE?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
I don't think that we will be able to use X10 mini image to flash x8 because the screen size and resolution are different and also the camera. Of course i will be very happy if Bin4ry proves me wrong and it is possible. X8 with this price is very attractive phone but SE should quickly update it to 2.1 so it sells even better.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deconfrost:
we certainly need the update for x8, its a good phone, pitty about the OS at the moment limiting its potentials
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
I tried to get information from SE online chat support but without success. I asked about the date when it will be available, will the 16 million colors be enabled and if there will be froyo for it but for all my questions i received answers that they do not have such information. So currently nothing in particular for X8 unfortunately.

yeaaaaaaah 2.0.A.0.504 is the released sw version for both x10 and x10 mini/pro so this is the release version for x8 ,it's absolutely ready.i bet in a matter of days because this is the final version no more testing . they only need to upload it to the servers (for unbranded phones of course).crossing fingers
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
Well i just had very strange chat with SE support.Here it is:

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You have been connected to Agent Patricia.

Agent Patricia: Thank you for choosing Sony Ericsson Chat Support. My name is Patricia your Xperia™ Support Representative. How can I help you today?

Peter Angelov: Hello. Do you have any new information about the xperia x8 update to android 2.1? Can you tell me when we can expect it?

Peter Angelov: I see on ptcrb.com that build 504 of the 2.1 update for x8 is approved at november 5.

Agent Patricia: The roll-out of the Android 2.1 based updates for Xperia X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro started on Sunday October 31st.

So far we have received confirmation that the generic kits for the Nordic countries will be the very first ones out on Sunday evening and then there will be more kits coming already during Monday and then the roll-out will continue throughout the month of November.

Peter Angelov: As far as i know that means that the update itself is ready and only need to be aproved for redistribution

Peter Angelov: I am asking about x8

Peter Angelov: Not about x10.

Agent Patricia: It is the same information for the X8.

Peter Angelov: Are you sure? Because the only official information i see (including your product blog) says that the update for x8 will be released later than x10 series and before the end of the year.

Peter Angelov: If we can expect it this month together with x10 updates that will be great

Agent Patricia: As you can see the update has been released.

Peter Angelov: If this is the case can you tell me in which countries it will be offered initially?

Peter Angelov: For x10 yes but not for x8

Peter Angelov: I have not seen a single user of x8 able to upgrade so far

Agent Patricia: The availability of the update will depend on the location and service provider.

Agent Patricia: As mentioned before, it is the same information for the X8.

Peter Angelov: Ok but does this mean that the update for Nordic x8 should already be released?

Agent Patricia: You need to wait.

Peter Angelov: If the information is the same for X8 the update for nordic countries should already be released right?

Agent Patricia: yes

Peter Angelov: Ok thank you for this information.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
As you can see they claim that the X8 update should be out together with the X10 updates. I do not think that this is correct because if this was correct someone would already have updated their X8 and the news would spread like wildfire. Anyway somebody with Nordic firmware willing to check for updates?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Pavel.Hritonenko:
I have russian 1.6 firmware (x8), and my phone tells me that I have latest firmware.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
Same for me with Generic World. I wish somebody with nordic firmware to see. I would try to brand to nordic and check but unfortunately i don't know what i should edit in the default.prop file for X8 to make it nordic.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Well, that's indeed a strange chat. I think someone should ask another support-agent.

On the SE Product Blog all questions regarding the X8-update were completely ignored by Rikard. Other questions regarding the X10 got answered by him, though.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
I completely agree that it is strange.That is why i asked the question several times but received the same answer.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] MrBrightside:
This chat looks so strange i wouldn't wonder if it was a bot :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Alihosny:

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You have been connected to Agent Patricia.

Agent Patricia: Thank you for choosing Sony Ericsson Chat Support. My name is Patricia your Xperia™ Support Representative. How can I help you today?

Customer: i am asking about the x8 2.1 update

Agent Patricia: Where are you located?

Customer: Africa Egypt with generic world kit

Agent Patricia: The upidate was released in many African countries already. You need to wait until the update is available in your location and then use PC Companion to update the phone.

Customer: i am asking about the x8 not the x10

Customer: is the xperia x8 update to 2.1 released?

Agent Patricia: I have confirmed now and it hasn't been released.

Agent Patricia: We do not know when it is going to be released.

Agent Patricia: There is no date yet.

Customer: but i bought the x8 as sony ericsson promised 2.1 update will be available for x8 few weeks after release

Customer: now more than 6 weeks and nothing

Agent Patricia: Correct, but there is no date yet.

Agent Patricia: The roll-out of the update started on October 31st.

Customer: i mean the x8 update

Agent Patricia: The update for X10 was released on October 31st. You can expect the update for X8 few weeks after that.

Agent Patricia: But we do not have a date yet.

Customer: ok thank you

Agent Patricia: It could be this month or next month.

Agent Patricia: Thank you for choosing Sony Ericsson.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] MrBrightside:
I really did ROFL a lot :D

"Thank you for choosing Sony Ericsson"
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pulpoff:
It's clear that online chat-supporters are outsourced cheap people from distant countries that are hired to keep customers "interactively screwed up" nothing more nothing less.

They know nothing about updates or technology, it's a real wonder they can keep robot-like chat session.

I suppose its time we say to Sony support loud and clear : F U C K Y O U Patricia Agents.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] account1:
why do you want to change code back to origin?

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] icefish1412:
Hey daniel try SOC 1.5.1, but replace the su files with the one from the x10mini exploid. Or maybe you could try the latest version of SOC, but replace the su first.

I've got mine rooted that way. Somehow the default su from SOC just stuck, but replacing that solved the problem.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] yonutm:
I successfully root my phone, same cust, using steps from 1st page. Dont know what u are doing wrong, maybe is your antivirus? (kaspersky detected something:D)
