[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
A question for those more informed than myself

Hey Guys, wondering if you all could help me out.

I Updated my Xperia X10a on At&t using the flash method and now I cannot connect to the network... I've been looking around, but I cannot find any hits for my issue.

Basically when I go to Mobile Networks and search, it finds the AT&T Carrier, but when I click it and it tries to register it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"

Just stumped, that's what I am...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
You need to set your APN settings

Go to settings --> wireless & netwroks --> mobile networks --> access point names and creat a new APN as follows:

<name> att

<apn> wap.cingular

<proxy> wireless.cingular.com

<port> 80

<username> not set

<password> not set

<server> not set

<mmsc> http://mmsc.cingular.com

<mms proxy> wireless.cingular.com

<mms port> 80

<mcc> 310

<mnc> 410

<apn type> not set
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
I tried before to put an APN in, but with slightly different settings (username and passwords)...

Anywho, I tried your settings, I go to APN's and hit menu > New... Fill out all your information, then hit menu > save... It goes back to the blank apn screen... is that normal? or shouldn't it show the new one I just made?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
You can then go back and choose it as your default. The settings I have are 100% working.

If that does not work, try repairing your firmware with SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
the screen after you click "Access Point Names" just says "APNs" at the top. When I make a new one, it doesn't show up... ideas?

Also, if I restore with SEUS, will it restore 2.1? or back to 1.6?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
You will restore to whatever firmware you have right now. I suggest you do this first (restore using SEUS) then enter your APN settings.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
Okay, so I have done a repair through SEUS and gotten back to where I was...

Same issue... I can get into the APNs area and create a new one, but it doesn't seem to save... there is a blank area where I know there should be a list.

Also, let me express my appreciation that you are taking the time to help me.:)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Weird. OK try Settings --> Sony Ericsson (should be top option in the menu). Make sure you are connected to a WiFi network and try downloading the settings from SE servers.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
Lol... Okay so when I go to the sony ericsson thingy...it says "could not download settings. Retry?"

I'm on wifi and I'm able to browse the internet on the phone
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Hmmm..

This is a weird problem. So in your APN settings you have no profiles at all?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
Guys, it is not APN issue - it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network". I had the same message before unlocking mine. But maybe I have a working hunch. When I received mine locked to TMO UK phone and tried my TMO US SIM, it just stuck on screen with network unlocking key input that is the way locked phone behaves under 1.6. But I blew away dust from my old proxy SIM card for unlocking iPhone 2008 and it worked! I was glad to save some bucks, but when I flashed 2.1, after around 16 hours I got the same error message about network and no service anymore. I had contact issue with this proxy card, so I tried several times and eventually broke it, so now I am unable to research it deeper. Without this proxy SIM card my phone behaved differently - it wanted network unlock code just after turning on. With proxy it booted silently and just showed that the network is unreachable. So I see exactly the same behavior in your phone as mine with proxy SIM card. It sounds weird and I didn't find another case like mine, but look like some way your phone is locked. I remember when iPhone wasn't cracked yet, some phones were hardware unlocked by installing some proxy cards inside the phone (by soldering), so you just need to insert your own card and it worked like unlocked. It is the only logical explanation for me now. How did you get your phone? If it is officially from ATT store, just replace it. If not - Houston, we have a problem.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
No, its nothing like that... The phone is a stock att phone from an att store... It was working previously just fine and this whole mess started aster I flashed it to 2.1...

Could I have missed something while flashing I wonder?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Probably not. The only thing is getting the APN settings and all should be working fine. This may be dumb, but are you sure you are entering all the info correctly and then saving the settings. You should then choose it as your default APN.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
There arent any APN settings in there and when I attempt to create a new one, it doesnt save
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
So one more time:

Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names.

Then press the far left button with the 4 boxes on top of it and click New APN and enter the settings as mentioned earlier.

If not, then try a hard reset. Remove the battery while the phone is still on, remove the SIM card and wait 10 minutes before putting it back in and turning on the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis6329:
Just attempted thee hard reset and still no luck... Man I wish I knew what the problem is...

Is there a way to manually enter the apn in before I flash it? Like as part of the flash tool?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
If it nothing like that, you can call, can you? I bet you can't. Take a look at APN parameters - they all about the internet, not the phone network, I mean data transfer that goes over the internet. So it won't fix any phone problem, it would fix MMS or the internet access problems. Actually you can easy test it. You have 2.1 now and can use the internet through wifi - so try it and it will work, right? MMS barely will work since it is a mix of regular phone service and data exchange through internet based servers.

I told you, under 1.6 I called and received calls with my locked phone with proxy SIM, but when I flashed it to 2.1 it stopped work just like yours.

ATT store is not 100% guarantee of quality, it is 100% guarantee of exchange. You can easily read stories about developer's versions of phones that were bought or exchanged in regular carrier's stores or service centers. And they require different procedures of upgrade. And don't forget about mistakes and just bad guys. Imagine - some smart ass bought a locked to other network phone, then went to regular store, bought the same model, but locked to his network and then returned the first one in the box from the second one. "Why?" - asked a salesman - "Just don't like it" - answered this smart ass. Assuming that everything is OK and check pieces only, not serials, salesman put the box at shelf. Next customer - you. Ta-dam! This is one example how you could get the wrong phone in right place. Don't waste your time if you have a receipt - just exchange it. But check serials first for being sure that they won't be able to put everything on you. I know, I am paranoid. It is professional.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
For right APN I just connected to the internet over wifi, went to Settings > Sony Ericsson > Settings download. Some seconds and I got settings for my provider. But I am not sure if it works if you have this ugly message about wrong for your network SIM.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_C:
Flash back to AT&T 1.6, if problem persists take back to AT&T

Turn off your wifi and do it SE download again. It worked for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmarinel:
So, I'm currently in a debate with a friend over the announcement of the LTE on Verizon. My friend (who works in multiplexing telecommunications) tells me that all current Verizon phones will receive a firmware update in order to move onto the LTE network since the current EVDO RevA communication is similar to that of LTE.

I completely disagree and state that the current radio functions on all phones including the droid incredible cannot handle communication with the LTE standard and will require a different chip in order to properly access LTE network.

Does anyone have any documents or citing that says current 3G phones are not forward compatible with LTE?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
It would take David Copperfield to make LTE work on our devices ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
You might want to convince your friend to place a large bet on this with you because there is virtually no way that I know of that he will win the bet. Your friend has lost his marbles...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefberardi:
LTE requires a SIM card, which will never be delivered Ota, nor inserted into ur Dinc. Tell genius to stick to multiplexing, and if he doesn't listen take his money.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I agree, place a very large bet on this. You are absolutely correct. I work for Vzw, if I didn't run the risk of getting fired for screenshotting some of the documentation we have about 4G, I'd attach it. 4G devices will be backward compatible with 3G networking, not vice versa.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehoovie:
something but what

LTE no, but voice&data at once maybe?

I was on the phone with VZW activating a new device last week and the rep on the phone was trying to tell me that certain devices will end up getting an update that allows for data communications and voice communications simultaneously. Which is currently not possible. I tried to tell them that this sounded like it was not possible and that only new devices with new hardware will be able to do such things. They remained firm that certain current devices would get an update to allow this. I just don't see it happening. Time will tell.

I dont see why they can't...I can talk and text at the same time on 1X rofl!

Is it 8GB for os + apps and 8GB for media? Or maybe a new file system with Gingerbread that does not allow USB mass storage but all 16GB for os + apps + media?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Pavel.Hritonenko:
It's possible to play video on this device? How can I convert my video files to files which x8 understand?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Maze_fr:
It can take mp4 for sure : I have 2 videos in "/sdcard/video/"
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] bnight:
You can try RockPlayer - Plays all divx videos so no need for convert the files at all the player is really great app and you can get it for free from the android market. I watch two movies both more then 2 hours long for a 50% battery so the player is great.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Pavel.Hritonenko:
It looks like slideshow with software decoding, it's not works with hardware decoding.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] bnight:
It not play all avi formats well but works great for some if you have time to find out what format works on that phone but i Watch for example Fight Club on this and was nice and smooth also watch some Shows on it and it works great for that it`s very useful when you are at the bus or at the train and have time to kill.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fkathrada:
When connected to the computer, download MediaGo from PC companion. It converts audio and video to x8 format, as well as adding it to the device.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] rokuhs:
yup. just use the media go from SE. it automatic convert the media file to match the hardware decoding. its an extra work but worth doing. to save some memory.:-)

I use Avidemux GTK app on Ubuntu. Just use "auto->PSP" settings. it makes files that x8 decodes in hardware.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] qsmyle:
My favourite video playing app is arcMedia.

It is capable to handle largest video files thanks for video buffering.

But It is not working since I rooted my 2.1 with original rom.

Anybody knows why?

The problem is app2sd. arcMedia doesn't support app2sd yet.

I really wait for the update because you don't have to convert video files with it.

arcMedia plays normal xvid videos smoothly like desktop computers.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] 1edgaras:
My pre-isntalled video player can't find any files, even those which i've recorded with camera. What's the problem?

What's the point of installing video player which can't find video files? for example if some1 buys x8 and don't want to use any of apps from the market, only pre-installed ones. so he can't watch any recorded videos? only getting there through camera app? it's the same with picture review.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] tkyd2003:
Rockplayer v6 vfp version can play video rmvb well, of course, not as well as computer
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Blitzkri3g:
It all depends on the encoding and the resolution of the files people.

Dont expect to be able to play a full hd avi or mp4 with a 600hz CPU!

Maybe the PSP compatible avi files you can d/l with utorrent work better.

N.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] revenge50:
yeah,i would recommend you to convert the videos with Xmedia.(It Supports X8)

Its works everytime on my X8 ;)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] andrelessa:
I use yxplayer2, RockPlayer gives me a lot of erros playing the videos.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CaptainZap:
I can also say that vital player from market plays divx/xvid with no lag at all, for me it really is the best app of this kind.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] loopin:
to convert videos, try XMedia Recode or Format Factory
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] ajie1987:
I use ImToo Video Ultimate Converter..

choose convert to android specification
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] papasieg:
there are lots of software players that play almost everything including mov and mpeg
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] SnooSnoo:
Hi, Ive used RockPlayer quite extensivley and it played nice (even with subtitles) up untill last week when all of a sudden the video lagged awfully. I tried all the other players (yx, qq, arc...) and each and every one of them lags.

Now, Ive updated to the latest x8 software (from the first 2.1 release) and hoped it would help, but playback is the same.

Tried to enable JiT now, but that didnt help.

Any ideas why would something like this happen seemingly out of the blue?

EDIT: I might add that this is all in software mode (even for files that work in hardware mode). Id like software mode to work however because transcoding is kind of a pita job.

EDIT2: Found the culprit. H.264 @300kbps is too much for this phone period. Both xvid and divix play nice even at 1000kbps.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] shadowkahn:
rockplayer is the best ,plays any file even mkvs

Hey everyone i got it to work the way that i did it was i backed up my data/rom and i extracted the zip file. Then i used a app in the market called root explorer then i went into system/app then i deleted latin apk then i took the latin apk from the extracted zip and copied it in system/app then i rebooted my phone and went back into root explorer and then i went into system/app and went to latin apk and clicked install and it should work
