[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KobiP:
Hi! I have a Desire from T-Mobile with Froyo (2.12.110.2). It is rooted successfully but I cannot remove preinstalled apps. I have tried adb, Titanium Backup (Chuck Norris Mode on) and Root Explorer. The .apk is always removed correct. But after a restart it is back on its old place. I don't want to install a Custom Rom just because of some apps. How can I remove the apps from my App Menu forever (like Facebook, Peep, ...)

Edit: now I know I have to s-off my phone first. Root alone is not enough
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwilly:
So a little about my phone. I am running a custom ROM Fusion 1.1 with a custom Kernel from Team Whiskey Core V3 2.1 also have OCLF. My phone right after flashing the new ROM seemed to lock on quickly to several Sats 5 plus every time. But for no reason and with no adjustments to the default settings I now have a very hard time locking on to any Sats. Takes 10 plus minutes and only can get a few to lock.

So the only things I have changed on my phone recently is trying a few different Kernels. Would this even effect the GPS sat locks at all? I would think not but??

Anyone have anything new that I have yet to read about that they have tried that seems to make the GPS better?

My phone's GPS might just suck who knows.

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Did you try digital toddys fix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwilly:
Yea I did.. Just went outside and switched to Cold then delete GPS data ran fix for 10 minutes and got a lock on 4 sats. Switched back to Hot and didn't seem to help much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You did the reboots and everything?

Odd man, if that didn't work I am at a loss. Hopefully others can chime in for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
I would think the ROM is what affects GPS signal the most. I was running Bionix 1.9 with KK kernel and the GPS was money. Now running Obsidian V1 (didn't switch to V2 because I read people were having GPS issues on it), and GPS still works great. In fact, when using Car Home, it shows the exact street address I am at.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
from what i understand, yes a different kernel can affect gps because the kernel contains the drivers. it is my understanding that this is why the 2.2 roms have working gps now: an 'official' kernel was leaked and the gps drivers were pulled from it. however the rom will also affect gps. for example, i was running bionix 1.9.1 and gps was great, flashed bionix final and gps went to ****, flashed fusion 1.2 and gps was working again.

hi u choose a pw and lock my device. after 2 min when i tried to unlock i cant unlock the device. im sure im trying right pw but its not work. its not giving any error its not says your entering wrong pw or etc. my question is i want to backup my files. how can i do that ? or is there any way to backup files in bootloader .
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Deleted member 437861:
Is your phone a touch pro?

If so, what rom are you using. Is it the standard lock screen?

Please give a bit more detail.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Lhunardaien:
im using energy sense 2.5 rom. i think its not original lock screen. visual is diffrent.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Deleted member 437861:
Well, you still haven't given us the rom you are using. There are at least 22 versions of Sense 2.5.

Anyway, could you supply a picture of the lockscreen?

Have you added any lockscreen programs yourself?

Android 2.1 has been released for Rogers in Canada :)

It is only available through PC Companion and not OTA.

Cheers, Brett
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JDwan:
I just checked through PC Companion and it's still telling me that my phone has the latest software. I checked OTA as well with the same result. I'm going to check using SEUS and see if what that tells me.

Where in Canada are you? I'm in Edmonton and nothing yet for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elvish:
Ya same here nothing im in ottawa
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JDwan:
Just checked using SEUS and still nothing.

I saw on the Android forum that a couple people in Ottawa got the notification but it doesn't seem to be consistent as other people in the thread said that they weren't getting despite them being from Ottawa as well.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I'm curious if anyone has found a way for those of us with an x10a running x10i firmware to easily trick SEUS into updating for the x10a. I'm currently running the Nordic 2.1 and would love witch to Rogers 2.1 once it's released....anyone have any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zephyrix:
I do recall something about the updates being "staggered" to minimize the load on the servers.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Rockjock007:
there are several posts on how to " trick " it into taking the update so just wait a bit, someone will post the firmware with the flash tool, same one you used for nordic and you will be all set.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
All of the posts I've read indicate we shouldn't mix x10i and x10a codes as SEUS would either not work or ignore the phone. Unless I missed something?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Rockjock007:
If I understand the posts correctly they are much like the Nokia product or region codes.. with said codes it will tell the server where you are located. So its like a address of sorts.. the server checks the phones and says Oh Hello! You are in Canada here ya go.. or Hallo! Sie sind in Deutschland .. as I said someone will surely post a how to guide. if you mix the codes you will have a phone with firmware from another country well that is my take on it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
Then do us a favor and update the FW from your PC companion/SEUS folder.

somebody will decrypt it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mouch99:
I just talked to a Rogers technical support representative and was told that the update has been released, but Sony, as usual, did not prepare for the immense traffic and the link to the download is up and down. I was told that we should be able to update later today, but that the only way to check for the update is through PC Companion - it will NOT appear as an OTA notification on the phone.

Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
I'm with Tux. I'll wait for some other helpful Rogers user to post the firmware, and then I'll look into flashing to that.

Haven't had any problems with my X10a running Nordic firmware (other than taking longer to get started with market downloads), so I'm not in a huge rush. It would be nice to have proper X10a firmware though.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Reprise420:
+1 on that I just want my model to say x10a at some point soon-ish.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
Changed my build. Prop and fired up pc comp, gives me a server error....

Edit; I guess I'll wait till Brett uploaded it and its usable with flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Well one of us is misunderstanding at this point. I'm not home at the moment and don't have time to link, but the thread in here somewhere states very clearly not to use an x10a CDA if you have an x10i phone as SEUS will not detect the phone. I guess I'll just wait I guess.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
That was for 1.6 fw

For 2.1fw Binary (or was Jerpelea) wrote that is ok to use it as SE probably unified the basebands.

Problem is, my 2.1 is crashing about 5 times (or more) daily.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] forzanerazzurri:
Youre gullible as hell is you believe that. Good ole Rogers.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Fakk2Punk:
It's gotta be related to your install. Using original global 2.1 with root in New bRunswick with absolutely no issues
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
Using the CDA trick works. I have the global X10i firmware on my X10a and changed it's CDA to the generic Brazil one and it gave me the option to repair to the X10a 2.1 generic brazil firmware. I am assuming that the same can be done with the Rogers CDA once it fully goes live.

I didn't do it as I am happy with the global one....no issues.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brett19:
Just to clarify, I actually work for a particular company that is involved in this, and we were notified that the update was to begin rolling out today.

Cheers, Brett
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kl25:
question guys

whats a good app to back up my stuff before i update to 2.1?

i'm on the rogers network as well.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Rockjock007:
Well I am on the Nordic firmware and in the Build.prop i just changed the model number to a 10a sooo its a round about way to get it lol

BTW nordic has been perfect for me thus far
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] icet925:
I got my phone from rogers, but i unlocked it to fido now.

I'm running the Nordic 2.1 firmware

Whats the difference between that and the rogers firmware?

Is there any difference?

Its running perfectly fine right now.

I don't want to reflash again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elvish:
From what i understand nopthing really..i have heard a few glitches here and there but nthing major..im a cautious fella and just want the branded version if any problems it isnt mine ;-) plus i have bad luck doing things myself LOL
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
I don't think there will be any difference between the Rogers version versus the Global or Nordic version other than maybe some included Rogers branding.

I am running the Global version and with some default.prop editing, I changed the label from X10i to X10a......just to label it correctly.

Maybe once the time comes to reformat the phone, I will change it back the generic LAM edition (which I was running before my 2.1 update).

Anybody here running the generic Brazil 2.1 update? If so, is here any branding at all or any extra crapware/bloatware installed?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
What are you looking to backup? I prefer to start from scratch versus a backup/restore especially when you are going from 1.6 to 2.1 (major update).

It is always better to install all your apps and data manually versus restoring. I guarantee you that most people that are having issues with 2.1 are once that used a program to restore their data from 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kl25:
thats true..

well in that case the main one i would say is the facebook sync app

i have all my contacts pictures synced and i dont want to lose those

would something like astro do the trick?

btw i just tried pc companion and seus

nothing for toronto
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HackitZ:
Yeah i was running the global 2.1 and my x10 was never so fast, much better signal strength than 1.6\.

Last night i put brazil 2.1 and it's not branded.

things i noticed we're the default twitter app was not there and orkut was preinstalled.

As far as the phone goes, i found the global to be faster and better signal strength.

I have restarted my phone several times and ran the battery through a full cycle. what i have now is the apps list is slow to move, gets stuck for a second or two and i have to keep flick my finger a few times to scroll through apps list.

but most importanlty is my signal now sucks, the global gave me 2 bars in my basement and the brazil always say no network.

Wish i never re flashed. I'm anal and didn't like the fact that my x10a thought it was an x10i LOL

Should have just edited the file and changed it to x10a.

just my experience.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] corpionz:
Same thing here, I've edited my Build.prop and put the Brazilian code there to get the update.

now everything seem to work fine except that it is sluggy and slow to move between homescreen
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kponto:
I´m in Brasil but I have a X10a Rogers´s branded. Just checked SEUS 10 min ago and it says I have the most updated sw (1.6).

I´ll "try" to wait some more time for Rogers´s update...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
I have heard that the Brazil is not branded and works perfectly fine on x10. I have already edited my default.prop to Brazil code and was ready to update my x10a to this firmware when I found this tread.

I don't honestly believe that Rogers is coming out with this anytime soon. Just another roomer.

Seems nobody has confirmed running rogers fw so I think it is a crock.

If no update my monday then I am for sure updating to Brazil generic debranded firmware.

Has anyone heard of any branded firmware being released globally? I can't imagine that Rogers would be the first to do that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dj_KayCee:

Hey, Just to let everyone know that the update is out. I believe all across Canada. I'm in Toronto, and I'm now updating my X10.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JohnDoeJD:
Does anyone know how to downgrade from the global 2.1 to the x10a 1.6 so that the PC Companion recognizes the phone? I tried everything but my model version says "Unknown" instead of "x10a" and I can't update via SEUS or PC Companion.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rogem_kk:
Maybe SE did something because all of a sudden changing the fingerprint does not work. I was just playing with that yesterday and it worked just fine.

Maybe someone can share their Rogers default.prop and build.prop files so we can see what is in there. Pretty please.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tennoh:
I had a bit of time getting the Companion software to update. However I have now completed the Rogers upgrade and I'm on 2.1. Yay!!

I too can confirm there's an update.

My buddy's X10a shows there's an update OTA.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] surrealillusion:
my X10a was showing an OTA update available (but couldn't be d/l via wifi this morning). Connected to PC Companion and it's still showing that I'm up to date. A shame that SE somehow didn't expect there to be an overload of users wanting to upgrade their OS (I mean it's not like X10 users are behind the rest of the droid pack or anything ...).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] urs74:
do a system dump of your phone for us.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lorennz:
Just updated to Rogers 2.1

I just got it updated having it connected to PC companion for awhile. First PC companion promoted for a s/w upgrade and I did.

Then I connected the phone and still said the phone has its latest update (1.6V). Anyways I kept it connected for awhile then it said there is a new update for the phone. It was all within 5 minutes of time.

Everything is better than before but my happiness didn't last long till I found out the auto brightness feature is no longer available :mad:. That sucks!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rogem_kk:
Auto brightness is there. On the widget (by default one screen to the left) you can set 3 states for brightness. Minimum, auto and max.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] azian_advanced:
so you need to be on 1.6 for SEUS or PC Companion to discover that there's an update available? i just checked here in winnipeg and still no update :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] azian_advanced:
...and i'm on 2.1 nordic firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lorennz:
I checked but it only increases and decreases as you press. Doesn't have the auto feature in it. Does it really work for you? I remember in 1.6 it had an option on/off the auto brightness.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lorennz:
You need to downgrade it first.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elvish:
I have no problem doing this is it in the DB files the 2 large ones its the rogers update via seus?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nite4evr:
No point of upgrading from Nordic to this, feels exactly the same.

Anybody notice the reception better?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elvish:
Ok so i upload the 2 files from seus about 165 megs it should be the one for rogers branded FW

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eAndy:
how do i use the file?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frost866:
guys does it work with region changing?

im on Brazil firmware so PC C and SEUS still telling me there is no software available for my phone yet and Im living in toronto.

any help?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elvish:
I think you just replace them in seus files the large ones in DB file..not sure if it will work but i do know these are the files though watched them download lol and from what i read they are also the size
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] henh:
use this file to downgrade to old rogers .014 fw, then use SEUS to update the new 2.1 (work on 32 bit OS only)

I confirm the update. In Quebec here. Got it this morning when connecting to SEUS.

The only down point is that they screwed up the interface. Its not MUCH bigger and not 100% full screen. There is a good amount of pixels left unfilled on every side of the screen.

I'm on Global 2.1 right now, is there anything different or worthwhile in 2.1a that would be worth switching from global for? I don't want to
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
unbelievable... just tried to do update through SEUS to et 2.1 on my x10a from rogers and it said update failed. Tried 5 mores times and got the same result. Now phone will not turn on all I get is a "!" inside of a triangle showing on my screen. Then I tried pc companion 4 times and got update error each time. :S

I waited patiently all of these months just to get a broken phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kevjef420:
well if anyone else gets the problem that I just had with the update failing, just keep trying and hopefully it will work. After about 10 tries it finally completed the update and now my phone is finally running 2.1 x10a rogers firmware.

i even called Sony Ericsson customer support and they told me to mail the phone in for service to have it fixed under warranty. Thought I would give it one more try with PC Companion and it worked.

what a relief :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] surrealillusion:
at least you've received the update. Companion still tells me I am up to date and that there are no updates.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frost866:
Guys for some reasons you have to downgrade to 1.6 Rogers generic then run SEUS to get 2.1.

Try checking for an update using the Sony Ericsson Update Service software. My phone gave me the update available message yet PC Companion told me I was up to date. I check on SEUS and it allows me to update to 2.1. Some other people said that just using the Repair option in PC Companion also got them 2.1. Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] surrealillusion:
Yeah I ended up doing the repair option last night hoping it would allow me to update to 2.1. It actually put 2.1 on my phone but I fell asleep in the middle of it, and woke up to a 25% battery with 2.1 installed. Now to manually re-enter all of my contacts and whatnot.

Data Connection

Hi,

From Toronto on Rogers. Was using the Global Firmware (showing x10i) and my data connection would show 3g, and then switch to H. It would still work but seemed like it would take a second longer while switching. Now loaded the Rogers firmware (showing x10a) hoping this would resolve the issue but it is still there. Anyone have any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BingoRingo:
Don't go back to X10i if you have an X10a phone. You can use a generic 2.1 X10a.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rogem_kk:
That is not a problem. All it means is that the phone now actually shows that is is using HSPA (think of it as 3.5G). Always was the case but before it just didn't show it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eliedro:
I tried both and there's no difference. I prefer global x10i since there's no provider boot screen. If there's some other reason or difference between them please tell me what they are. Is there any advantage on x10a?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BingoRingo:
The boot screen is the same, unless of course you install a branded version (I have the Sony Ericsson splash boot screen from Generic Brazil).

Some people, including me, had problems with X10i on our X10a phones, also, you cannot use SEUS or PC Companion in the future for updates. Using X10i made sense when 2.1 X10a was not yet available, and if everything works well, you don't have to change it back to X10a, but if you reinstall, you are 100% sure everything will work as planned with the right firmware, else, SE would have had one firmware for both phone models.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
SEUS and PC Companion are pretty useless if you're using the Rogers X10a ROM, as Rogers is always well behind everyone else as far as updates. You're better off with a generic ROM (X10a or X10i), as new firmware updates will be available earlier.

So far, since re-installing the Nordic Generic early last week, I have not had any issues at all on my X10a.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] muchski:
Sorry I am still not clear on how to move from nordic 2.1 (x10i) to rogers 2.1 (x10a).

I was stuck in boot loop the first time I flashed and though I was fortunate a reflash cured that, it was a little bit too scary for me!

Can anyone provide clear instructions and links to accomplish this. The two links someone posted have exceeded bandwidth by the way.

Many thanks in advance!

PS it looks like custom roms are making some good progress, an AOSM ROM (2.1) is nearly complete, just camera and bt need to be fixed. Also some earlier work with 2.2 which still needs quite a few fixes but good to see this whole new front being opened up and available to us regular folk soon! :)
