thats just simply not true, htc has been working on sense for a long time, thats why it works so well with android. se however tried to add as much as possible onto their first android phone and it clearly crippled it. my buddy was laughing last night when i showed him the rom i flashed onto my phone because as he put it "all you did was turn your phone into a really big g1" which is what he has. its one thing to put your own layer on android to make your phone stick out, its another to just dump a bunch of energy/memory hungry apps and programs that only nerf the phone and dont improve or simplify user experience
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I feel like a parrot, since I just repeat myself.

Users like yourself are not the target audience, will never be the target audience, and matter very, very little to Sony Ericsson. It's a mass market phone. While you may find those apps useless, a good portion of the phone's users probably are happy.

Again, it's great that you have the ability to change what you want with the phone. You're not stuck with what you're given, so there's no need to hate.
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
by hate do u mean se? because im not free to change what i want. i voided my warranty when i flashed this rom, being free to do what i want would be if se opened the bootloader for us, dont take my points personal though i totally get what your saying, i just like to have friendly debates from time to time :B
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well I used to defend my X10 against all my iPhone buddies up until yesterday, but then one of my other friends bought a Samsung Captivate. After a day with that phone, here are my observations:

1. Captivate's screen is simply amazing! And yes, iead1, I know you'll say you can't spot the difference between no 16 mil colours and a SAMOLED screen, but trust me, its huuuge

2. The phone itself, is roughly twice as smooth and twice as responsive as the X10. And it has multitouch

3. Samsung's Social Hub runs circles around Timescape. I mean, it might not look that pretty, but you can scroll through the 'splines' right through the widget, post status updates etc. I suspect this feature will be coming in the next UXP update.

4. The media player on the Captivate is absolutely **** compared to Mediascape, but its still waayyy more responsive. Once Mediascape has all the lags sorted out, I think it will be one of the best out there

5. The GPS on the Captivate takes a really long time to acquire location info. On average, it took almost double the time it took on my X10 (at different locations)

6. Samsung allows you to change the font as well, without rooting. I know this is possible with a rooted X10 as well, but just saying

7. Samsung's app drawer is a blatant copy of the iphone's and I didn't like it at all

8. The overall skin they applied onto the Captivate looks a lot uglier than the X10's. I like how everything is connected, ie Timescape, Mediascape and Phonebook, but then I realised this is a feature of Android 2.1, not something SE did by itself.

9. The widgets Samsung provides, like People, Social Hub, Daily Briefing etc, are really useful, but could be made a bit prettier imo

I know I've ranted quite a bit, but at this point I think if someone offered me a trade with the Captivate, I would take it. I think the X10 is the second best android phone available in Canada at this point, after the Galaxy S phones

<\endrant>
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@fightingroost12 - You've not voided your warranty at all.. if something does go wrong, you can just flash back to default standard ROM... that's the upside of having a phone whose bootloader ISN'T cracked..
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Spot on, but don't forget about the HTC Desire Z. The screen isn't as good as the Samsung Captivate but I think everything else trumps the Captivate.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Am I the only person that doesn't like the AMOLED screens on the Galaxy S phones? The pixels are visible from a distance, which bothers the hell out of me since they're such high end devices. The screens look like something out of 2004. Bright, yes. Colorful, yes.

The iPhone 4's IPS panel is still the best screen I've seen, with the Sharp Galapagos 3D coming in second.
[XPERIA X10 General] HyperionX10:
Is it so difficult to see the difference? Dell Streak was updated to Android 2.2. Aka Froyo!

Honestly, I like my X10, I wouldn't change it for any existing phone, but let's be honest, SE really screwed it. It took them way too much time for this update and they really didn't do a good job at it (see the browser with no Exit button - pressing the Home button will only send it to background instead of actually stopping the app).
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
These are features of Android 2.1 btw. Every Android Phone running on 2.1 and above has these features
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
95% of the complaints about SE's update are natural to 2.1 and weren't introduced by SE, but, people gotta hate just to hate.

The phone, in my opinion, is ten times faster than before, everything works far better, and the software compatibility is great.

I've said this a million times as well I bet: The beauty of Android is you can just change something if you don't like it. Let SE tailor their phones for the mainstream and let the devs of XDA make the phone scream. We're not using iOS here, we're using a great OS that let's you do almost anything you please.
[XPERIA X10 General] telmoabff:
They want everyone to be happy thinking soon they'll have their X10 updated... But the reality is that God knows when this will happen, if it ever will...
[XPERIA X10 General] telmoabff:
Unfortunately, many people will disagree.

Myself, for instance. I would like to get rid of MS and TS. I would like to easily change the back ground of SE dialer app. I would like to have stock android on my phone.

Unfortunately none of these can be easily done...
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
theres a flash tool out for stock 2.1 its a little buggy but the 2.2 release will be next week
[XPERIA X10 General] ParrotSquawk:
I didn't know about 1.6 2.1 2.2 when I bought this phone and I didn't care @ the time

When I first got my phone about 2 months ago as a gift from the wife (a way to get my 2 year old Fuze which she wanted as a cheapo media player) I knew little about the Android platform and even less about the X10. After listening to all the BS in the air about the OS (and experiencing some issues with apps that required 2.x to run) the OS became important but not vital.

What was important was the inability for me to sync the phone with Outlook without using the cloud (a problem I have just recently solved btw.)

As for SE's responsiveness to its customer base, if they only listened to gearheads they would only build 4gHz laptops and phones with WiFi and BT and 17" MT screens and voice recognition built-in. At $99.00 (what wifey paid for this phone plus $45 for a 16GB card) this phone is a bargain.

I don't spend all day pulling it out to compare it to iPhones or Samsungs or HTC phones so I don't care what they look like. This phone works fine (except for the crappy dialer.) Ease up...breathe...pass the turkey and gravy, please.

Happy Thanksgiving. Be thankful for all that you have. Remember there are people who have less or none at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Everything you mention is incredibly easily done. I assume you haven't looked around these forums, have you?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayluke:
Go ahead and dismiss the anti-SE sentiment in this thread as "people gotta hate just to hate", but don't be a douche while you do it. Initially my point was that SE have taken much too long to take us past 1.6; now its that it's your irrelevant observations that are underdeveloped, not people expressing disappointment in SE.

I've flashed my phone and installed whatever apps I felt were necessary to fill in the gaps. I'm quite ok with that and would expect to have to do the same same with any other phone I purchased. But it doesn't change the fact that SE fall way behind in delivering.
[XPERIA X10 General] sagar131981:
If SEis updating, it is for the better. I dont find logic in ranting about why are they late. We knew there ie no MT for this phone. But now they r coming up with something, n something's better than nothing. So chill!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
It was a comment on the immaturity that comes with these types of forums. Sadly, the only mature discussion boards I can find deal with the iPhone. Every Android community is about talking **** about Apple or their phone's manufacturer.

Instead of being happy that we're getting an update at all, as promised, people complain that it wasn't fast (which is ok!) and now that the update is here, it doesn't suck their dicks as they hoped.
[Fascinate General] dmang83:
Hey guys, need some help. I've searched around and tried to do different things but I'm afraid that I might be stuck (due to my limited knowledge of working with androids).

So I rooted my Fascinate and installed ROM manager and clockwork recovery onto it. Well, after fiddling around with it for a few weeks, I feel like I’ve gotten my self into a position where I’ve lost the way back. So now, I’ve tried unrooting using a couple of methods (update.zip and one click unroot) but it fails every time. This led me to believe that root/super user was not gone from my system (Super User icon/app is still there). This morning, I installed Titanium Back up and it said it couldn’t start because my phone is not rooted. I go into the Super User app and no app has requested it. I’m just kinda lost at this point and want my phone back to the state when I had first purchased it.

Now I know there is the Odin way, however, his post says that his files include superuser and busybox already installed – this I don’t want. I want the unrooted factory Samsung Fascinate state back. I was thinking about using the “factory reset” option in the settings but wanted to get your opinion on this before proceeding (since several posts said to do it where as others said don’t do this way).

Can someone help this clueless android n00b? Please? :)
[Fascinate General] atrich0608:
If you do a factory reset superuser will still be installed.

When I did Oden restore i think I had to re-root my phone.

You could also root your pone again, then un-root to remove superuser.

Why do you care? My wife and I both have gotten replacements because of hardware defects. Both phones were rooted and they never questioned it either time.
[Fascinate General] NKT:
This thread contains ODIN files for a completely stock device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782204

No root/bb/su.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
Actually, the system file in that thread does have SU/Superuser.apk/Busybox, but otherwise it's stock.
[Fascinate General] dmang83:
This did the trick!!

I used the the z4root app from appbrain, rooted and unrooted. SU = Gone!! Amazing! :D

Thank you!!

I have a question. I just got a captivate and I love it. But it needs some tweeking. I want to delete all the carrier software that I don't want. Can someone tell me how to do this.

I have about 6 gigs of music on the Micro SD card that came with the phone. It will randomly just stop playing. It will also stop when I get a text, email, unplug the phone, etc. Sometimes it'll stop when I turn the screen on by hitting the power button.

Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
[Epic 4G General] wildwill2002:
Which Player?

Which player are you using? I use Player Pro and I have that issue when I open music manually using Astro file manager. The best way to open music is to do it from within the player.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Stock music player with pure music widget.
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
How did 6gb of music come preloaded on your phone?
[Epic 4G General] wildwill2002:
I think they meant the SD card that came with the phone. do you have any task killers running?
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
It stops playing for a second with you get a text, email, and unplug the phone because the other ringtone thats set for that function is trying to play and it mutes your music. Disable SD Card notifications in Settings -> Sound and that'll stop it for unplugging of the phone, as for the text and email the only way to stop it from doing that is to set a silent ringtone or lower your volume to silent.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Wildwill is correct. I mean the 16gb card that came with the phone. I added the music myself.

It doesn't stop for a second, it stop completely. IT not only stops whenever I get text/email, if I open up the browser or open up an app, the music stops playing as well. It's not just when I receive notifications.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
If you have the drm or download manager set to always kill it will stop music from playing anytime you wake up your phone. I had this problem too and although I have the drm and download manager set to kill when the phone starts I had to turn it off the option to keep them always killed. Doesn't seem to affect tye battery to turn off that option and although the download manager seems to keep running the drm, which is the real battery drain, appears to stay killed. But this only applies if you have a task killer running.

Jutlst know also that the music apps all need data access so anything that changes the state of your data connection may affect your music stream even from the sd card.

Just wanted to inform everyone that skyfire 1.5 will be officially dead on December 31st. Guess they like the money more than those of us who helped get it to that point.

Anyway, I have switched over to Iris, and found it much better. just wanted to let you guys know.

this may be a good place to list some of your favorite browsers as well, so if you got one that you like, share the wealth!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] porkenhimer:
This is not news. They might as well have said they would stop support on DEC. 9, 2009 when they released SKYFIRE 1.5. They have done nothin but lie to their supporters since then. Everytime they would release an update for Android they would turn WM support of for the weekend and say it was for maitanence. Then turned us off for three weeks for IPHONE. I can't blame em for goin after money but they could've been honest with us.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kdizzle720:
Anyone know any mobile browsers with flash support? I found one but don't really like how the videos play
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mellojoe:
It won't be until December. It is now. Skyfire no longer works on my phone. It simply gives me a pop-up box that says Skyfire will be no longer supported, but it will not go further. It simply closes out.

I loved Skyfire, but now I guess I am on the hunt for a new mobile browser.

[using WM6.5 standard at the moment]
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mmiller7:
Same thing here, I needed to get the non-mobile view of Delta Airlines website (for some reason, Opera and IE render mobile even though I have Desktop View set) and it said can't connect.

Strange, they only say v1.0 support ending, nothing about v1.5 being turned off. Unless the meant 1.x instead of 1.0, but that's not what they put.

So...any other equally good browsers (preferably with flash & other embedded streaming support) that will work on WM6.5?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] porkenhimer:
Support for all WM versions will end on DEC. 31st. They will never develop another build for our devices. Our only chance of using Skyfire in 2011 will be by porting the ANDROID builds or somehow hacking the Skyfire servers but I doubt these things will ever happen. I recomend trying UZARD for a flash enabled browser but its only in beta release. I think they have also walked away from WM. They were supposed to release two versions which have been advertised on their site for at least 11 months but never released them. I don't think UZARD will turn off support but I would not expect another build. There is videos and reviews of UZARD WEB S & UZARD WEB H from back in FEB. 2010 but they never came out as I stated before probable cause they were focused on WP7. They have released builds for ANDROID & BLACKBERRY but haulted the WM builds. Oh well maybe one of the great developers on here will build a flash browser, thats our best chance of having a flash browser in the future that would be updatable.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zanpaktao:
try uZardweb...the function is almost the same like skyfire..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mmiller7:
THANK YOU!

This is the first browser like SkyFire I've seen that actually works and still supports Windows Mobile! I can once again view sites that require streaming embedded video and flash!

It would be nice if the toolbars would minimize to full-screen, but I can live without that as long as it keeps working.

i need the rSAP bluetooth option for my handsfree-carkit.

Can sombody tell me how to enable rSAP in energy rom "Energy.TOPAZ.28244.Sense2.5.GER.Cookie.2.0.Nov.13 "?

In the normal HTC ROM you can enable rSAP in the bluetooth options... in the energy rom their is FTP-settings instet off rSAP...

Thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Solarenemy:

i'm new to this so if it does already exist sorry, don't know what to look for.

so i jus got a vibrant with clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 on it and only 5 gb of 13 gb available even with all personal data wiped (just have avatar left).

i wan't to do a full reset so it's like stock again (even if i have to reroot and redo froyo and other fixes).

also if it is important i plan to use this on Simple Mobile (sub branch of T-Mobile so shouldn't need unlock)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayprime:
If you have clockwork already installed and nothing else is in the sd and its reading 5gb out of 13gb. The clockwork folder probably has a couple of nandroid backups in there already. If you want to go back to stock like out of the store, I would suggest using odin but for gods sake do your research first.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] d1verjim:
Now I realise I am likely to be subjected to a torrent of mockery for this, but feel I should post it in the spirit of a public service announcement.

I needed to do a factory reset of my Galaxy S today (Froyo JPO via Odin - nice), and as a clever and forward thinking IT literate person thought it would be a good idea to back up my apps (if only to save my Angry Birds progress).

So I downloaded Titanium Backup from the Market, and used it to backup all my apps & and services with "useful data".

I then proceeded to do a factory reset using the handy code *2767*3855# (due to the minor snag of forgetting my Mobile Tracker password, and being unable to use the reset option in Settings)

arning 1 - This performs a reset as soon as you hit # - no "are you sure" or similar. Use with caution.

Once that had completed, all was good (messaging app was working again which was the reason for the reset), and I proceeded to reinstall Titanium Backup from the Market, and went to restore all my apps.

FAIL

Warning 2 - Titanium Backup saves it's backups on the internal SD card on a Galaxy S. This gets wiped by a Factory Reset, therefore saying Syonara to all your carefully backed up data. Whoops.

Now I will readily admit this is my own daft fault for not checking the backup location, and copying the data to my external SD card, but then "Experience is simply the name we give to our mistakes"

Here's hoping this prevents at least one other person making the same foolish mistake.

James.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:

Data should still be there fella in 'sd' just move it into 'external_sd' same happened to me.

That being said, I have my backups stored on Dropbox so at least if anything happens I can restore it from the cloud.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d1verjim:
Trust me guys - the TitaniumBackup folder on the internal SD was empty after the factory reset & reinstall.

That said - it's possible it was the reinstall that blanked it, although that would be even more daft.

Having not checked it during the process, I can't comment for sure when it went bye-bye.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chancsy:
It never happened to me. What about other files on your Internal SD? Did they get wiped out too or just the contents TitaniumBackup folder?

No idea, anyone experienced d1verjim's case? All I can think of is bug of TB that makes it "Delete all Backups".

"Experience is simply the name we give to our mistakes", but I think it's not your mistake this time, so hold on the 'experience' first! Gotta find the cause for that. TB is well-known for its stability.

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help me as I am completely stumped.

Three days ago I flashed an sense ROM and all was well until I noticed people saying you didn't get my voicemail? So pressed 1 and called my VM only to find I had 7 voicemail that I was never notified about. I didn't get a task bar notification, app notification and they didn't show in the VVM app.

I have done the following, battery pull, update prl, update profile, sent activation message to activate@vvm.sprint.com, says it there is a delay in setting up your voicemail and you message will be sent as soon as this step is complete. I have also tried restoring a nandroid when VVM was working and nothing works.

Im lost and it sux not knowing if I have a VM, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
