hi...

i bought this cool lookin xperia x10i for INR 30,000(indian rupee).thats really a premium price

But since x10i has 3g ,it was very weird for not findin anythin called "video call" on the fone

can we make video calls on xperia>>>???

also there was no market app in my phone!!

nw i am feelin like pissed off,since payin such a hefty price n not havin features that u want and also since samsung lauched their galaxy with features not found in xperia,such as

good battery life(wher xperia fails miserably)

amoled screen

for 29,000!!!:(:(:(

wheres my multi touch!!

wheres my 16M screen??

whers my value for money!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercore:
The X10 does not have the proper drivers implemented to support 16M colors or Multi-Touch. Also, unless you're going to implement a second video camera into the front of your phone, you're not going to be able to make video calls either.

Good news is that Q1 2011 you will get Multi-Touch through an over-the-air update due to be released by SE (or so they say).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratheen:
you can use Fring for video call and keep a mirror behind the phone for others to see you
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfbreak:
XD did you read anywhere that the X10 have 16m Colors and MT before you buyed it? The X10 Hardware support 16m Colors and MT but nobody said it is enabled but MT will be enabled in Q1 like said and maybe 16m Colors too they just disabled it for better Battery life. How can you say the X10 Battery Life is poor i charged my Phone last time 3 Days ago and still have 35-40% Battery. The Market App has something to do with Google becouse Market wasnt enabled or not fully in India they enabled it 3-4 Weeks ago i think, so maybe you need to do an Update or something. Do you have Android 2.1 on your X10? If it doesnt work with the Market i can upload you my Market.apk.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anfas:
dude am not saying that the fone is a total flop.all the major review sites hav given a good score for xperia.by the way 2.1 update was a releif.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratheen:
I know it really sounds like a stupid thing to do, and i have not done it so far, but check this out.

Also, if you really want to video call but don't have a front facing camera, this is really the next best thing.

Hi,

sorry for my bad english.

I have a pocket pc with windows mobile 6.1. On the pocket pc i have WM6 remote desktop and with disappointing i have seen that there aren't some options that were on remote desktop CE. Above all the possibility to start an application when i used my remote desktop(in remote dektop CE was there) and the possibility to memorize various rdp profiles..In WM6 is there the possibility to do this?if is not possible do you know other rdp applications that do this(also non free applications)?

For me is very importan, above start an application when i open my rpd client.

Warmest regards

How is it even possible for Google to skip such a feature. I've been stuck here for an hour trying to find a spell checking email program for android. I can't send professional emails without it.

Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to spell check my emails before sending. Proofreading takes too much time. I don't care if it fixes a word incorrectly, that's not as professionally embarrassing as a misspelled email, I can always blame on the spell checker. Every blackberry does this, so does the iPhone even Nokia has a spell checking email client wtf. Oh and forgive me for my spelling mistakes since you know, I don't have a spell checker installed. I am running froyo on the vibrant.

fixed with a PC.
[Vibrant General] shehrammajid:
Shouldn't your keyboard be doing a spell check?
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
Waiting to see the OP's response to this..bet you this is gonna be fun...

PS, there is a very good spell check app in the market named spell check.... try to search for it again.. Mayb you misspelled it on your last search...
[Vibrant General] oldarney:
that aids on your typing but if you really misspell something, you'll have no idea that you misspelled something until you get a rejection letter from your would be employer. Some of us are too busy typing to look at what we type... thats why we spell check afterwards.

The spell checker app really sucks compared to the blackberry email client. "The reapply from the staff..." was perfectly ok to it, I just wish there was someway to integrate spell checking to gmail.
[Vibrant General] shehrammajid:
if thats the case...then it might be released in gingerbread and we could port the gmail apk over to our phones...
[Vibrant General] icandy75:
Best answer ever, bravo.
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
Proof reading before hitting the send button might just work... but that's just me.

If the blackberry way is to type, spell check and send, then have your boss do the proof reading for you, well what the hell fell free to keep doing so.....

Why are you guys being so critical?

He's asking if anyone knows of any app that spell checks for you. No need to get so offensive to the point of scaring him off.

Hello Everyone,

BasebandVersion: GAUSB1A111100-EU

ClockworkmodRecovery: 1.8.4

Froyo: Streak_315_12332_00.pkg

I want to install the official 2.2 Update for my Device, but i does not work, because i have the ClockworkmodRecovery, and this does not make use of the "Streak_315_12332_00.pkg"-File. Can someone please point me to the direction/howto how i get the update working.

Cheers in advance, Philip
[Streak 5 General] superutp:
I dont think you need to use clockwork recovery for getting official 2.2....

u cud probably try to update using the instructions here...which uses the 309.pkg thing....

[Streak 5 General] dieblauecouch:
clockworkmod

cheers for your answer, but i want to first install the official 2.2 ... and i can't figure out a way howto do this with the ClockworkmodRecovery installed, because the ClockworkModRecovery tries to access an .zip and not an .pkg file
[Streak 5 General] fards:
You need a stock dell recovery there are several threads on how to do this
[Streak 5 General] superutp:
ya you have to install the stock recovery which would be somewhere in this forum...

but in the event you use the method in the above link I posted you dont need to go to the clockwork recovery....u just flash the files on your computer and reboot normally...and u get 2.2...

then since u have clockwork recovery installed you could apply the performance fixes for 2.2...or else go to steve's 1.4.6...

hope this helps
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...o-com/323792/309-recovery-image/#entry1483575

flash this file using fastboot. its the 309 recovery thats been modded to allow the 12332 rom (which requires 315 recovery). then once your done, you can flash clockwork back on the same way.

the the streaksmart guide with the separated boot, amss, and system is the 11548 rom.
[Streak 5 General] dieblauecouch:
Solved

Hello everybody,

thanks for all the answers.

I solved it the following way:

- downloaded the original recovery.img for build 6267 for GAUSB1A111100-EU (attached below)

- flashed it with "fastboot flash recovery recovery6267.img"

- booted to recovery, reset to factory default

- booted, and then just followed the official update process

I guess a lot of you guys are now like "argh... torturing of a innocent device" ;-) but i didn't lose much, and it worked.

my specs before update:

dell streak unlocked bought at "media markt"

Basebandversion: GAUSB1A111100-EU

OEMversion: GAUSB1A111100

BuildNumber: 6267

my specs after update:

still dell streak unlocked bought at "media markt"

Basebandversion: GAUSB1A131500-EU

OEMversion: GAUSB1A131500

BuildNumber: 12332

Any "newbies" like me, having the same specs, feel free to pm me :-)
[Streak 5 General] JustMicha1:
alright so i also have a streak with baseband GAUSB1A111100-EU build 6267.

and i'm trying to flash it the same way, but the stock recovery build 6267 won't flash.

when i flash it with fastboot it says on my streak: flash write fail and in cmd( after i pull the usb out) it say: writing 'recovery'... FAILED <status read failed <too many links>>

i have tried various recoveries which i found on this forum, and with other recovery's it works instantly. But i can't get past the black screen in recovery mode, or the dell logo if i'm trying to update it the normal way.

so can anybody help me out? or point me at the right direction

Solved: all i had to do was flash boot.img and then it worked perfectly with the 309 recovery.

If you use ADW or LauncherPro and if after using your browser, email or any other apps for awhile, then if you press the 'HOME' button, if it takes forever to redraw your home screen, and you are sick of that HORRIBLE LAG, then try this: In a terminal,

type su and enter.

Then type echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop and enter.

Then reboot.

Now evaluate whether or not this fixes your lag.

[Android Software Development] offthat:
My android application has a login screen that is launched as the main activity with intents as follows:

<intent-filter>

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

</intent-filter>
​

Nothing else is out of the ordinary (that I am aware of, concerning the other activities, etc, no additional intents set on those or anything).

With the emulator, if I login and the second activity is launched, then I press the home button, if I launch the app again from a homescreen shortcut the task returns to the second activity. This is the desired behavior, as I don't want the user to have to login over and over again.

With both an HTC Incredible and a Droid X (only phones I have access to), if I login and the second activity launches, then press the home button, if I relaunch the app from a homescreen shortcut, it always launches the login activity, which is not the desired result. I want it to resume at the second activity where I left off.

I do have a task killer on the two phones I tested with, but they are set to not automatically kill any tasks and I don't believe this is happening because when I launch the app again for the second time and it shows the login screen, if I click "back" from there, it goes back to the activity I was hoping it would resume to, so the activity stack seems intact.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this works as intended with the emulator but not on the phones? Thank you very much.

I posted this on stackoverflow as well, but since I am new to this forum I could not include the link.
[Android Software Development] offthat:
Note

I also just discovered that if I resume the app by holding the home screen button down and choosing the app from the recently used list that pops up, that it resumes to the last activity I was on properly. So it seems to just be from the app launcher shortcut or a home screen shortcut.
[Android Software Development] RoboPhred:
You can override that by setting android:alwaysRetainTaskState to True in the root activity.

http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#always

This attribute must be on the root activity, so if your root activity is only the login activity and not the primary activity you want the user to return to, then you will have to do something a bit more complex. You will either need to make the login forum be a view on the primary activity, or make the login activity store the information and re-launch primary activity (not recommended).

You might also want to look at android:launchMode="SingleTask"

The above will solve the issue you are having, but the best solution by far is to instead use a long running service to handle the connection and login state, and make your activities just use and configure the service (login creates and sets up the service, primary activity acts as a proxy to the service commands, and logout shuts down the service). This will also prevent the login from being lost if memory gets low enough to shut down an activity, but not low enough to require a service shutdown.
[Android Software Development] offthat:
I was able to get it working, thank you RoboPhred. The funny thing though, is nothing extra was required.

I think what was happening was that the old shortcut I had on my home screen was just that, an old shortcut. It was most likely botching something up. Once I uninstalled the app and created a new icon on the home screen, all is working fine.

Most likely this is why it was fine in the emulator as it fully installs the new apk.

So other devs be aware that old shortcuts may have some iffy intents depending on old builds etc and when in doubt fully uninstall the app and create new shortcuts.

I just wanted to thank you once again for at least replying with a potential fix, as it got me testing it again.

Thank you very much.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larf2k:
So, the microphone on my headset stopped working. I can't really tell if it's going in all the way, it seems like it's almost making it in all the way but that could just be me. I tested another headset on my N1 and it didn't work, and I tested my headset on another phone and it did work, so that tells me something is wrong with either my headphone jack or my phone. I am running CM 6.1 RC1, so that may be the problem, too. It stopped all of the sudden and hasn't worked after several reboots. So I guess my pre-emptive question is: Does anyone else with the same ROM as me have this bug (I've checked the CM experimental forums)?

First question: is the 3rd ring on the headset the one responsible for audio in? If that's the case, I think there might be some gunk stuck in the hole.

If it's the 3rd ring that isn't making contact, how am I supposed to clean it out?!? I've tried air-duster, but I'm afraid whatever is in there is compacted from the first few times I've tried to get it to work. Should I get super super thin tweezers or something like that and try and break up whatever's in there?

Or, I could try and take it apart, which I've done with other phones, but just wondering if anyone has had this problem or tried taking it apart to clean it. Wondering how far in the disassembly process will I have access to this area.

Or, I could get a new phone. Not quite worth the $130 deductible to replace this small problem, but it is super annoying as I use the headset most of the time.

Ideas?

in the section dedicated to the HTC HD2 (LEO) on XDA developers theres the general section, the sections dedicated to windows mobile and the sections dedicated to android.

im wondering if including a extra section for alternative OS´s like meego and debian/ubuntu which also have development projects on the HD2 would let more users explore those options aswell as raise interest for developers interested in getting in to the subject.

good idea or not ?

Hello, I would like to create my own update.zip that would be compatible with clockwork mod. I have several files in several locations that I manually copy over after new installs like multicolored bash nano iwconfig iwlist etc. And I think it would be much easier to create a installable package for that, I also delete a number of built I. Apps like tweeter amazon etc. And I have seen the scripts inside oyhers update.zip's that I could add the bash commands to remove those things as well.unfortunately I know nothing about what clockworkmod wants and I see binarys inside these zips dont know if those are customized for each zip or the same in all of them, I dont know what files or information is absolutely required. The best possible solution is if I had a blank update.zip that held all of the required files settings and all I needed to do was add my files and asd a few lines to a preexisting script to remove sum stock apps.thinking back I might have seen a file containing all the files names and md5 chucksums for each as well which if necessary I can do. Is there something like this available for download sumwhere? If not ajy resources to learn the required information and find the required binarys.thank you in advance.

Same problem here

Good to hear someone with same problems. I want to create a generic ROM for myself and I want to use ClockworkMod to help flash it instead of using fastboot.

Well, I have found no documentation about what ClockworkMod may need for a zip file.

But I guess it could be possible to just replace them with your own by downloading an existing zip file created by someone else.

I'll try it to see if that works or not. Of course, a documentation would be better.

I regularly flash a new CM7 Nightly as they are released and I have to manually modify some things each time a new rom is flashed. I change screen density and add a notification ringtone that CM7 does not have. I wanted to automate that. Since I have to reflash the Google Apps each time anyway, I thought why not modify the gapps zip to include my changes. After searching the web I found a little info about how to do it. I just modify the zip on my computer using WinRar, copy the file to my device and re-sign the package using signapktic which is free on the market. Then flash using CWM. It worked great. No more manual adjustments. There are some instructions here which helped me:

Is there a way I can manage an restore my ROM manager backups from recovery? I don't want my phone to **** up then I can't restore cause I can't get to ROM manager
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosteddroid:
i wouldnt recommend using ROM manager but if you have amon recovery theres a nand backup & restore for those purposes under the backup and restore tab.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, just use the Amon Recovery, which you're probably using, to flash update.zip from the SD card. update.zip is put there by ROM Manager and will take you to Clockwork Mod Recovery. From there you can access the NAND backups you told it to make from ROM Manager. If you're talking about deleting old NAND backups from Recovery, not exactly, but you can mount your SD card through USB from recovery (easier in Amon RA, but can be done via an option in one of the menus in Clockwork Mod, too) and then "manage" the files from Windows.

Does this answer your question?
