[Galaxy S I9000 General] raheelc:
which would be a safer option to help prevent sd card failure? JL2 or custom rom?

Also, is it safe to keep OCLF running on the phone? i read a few posts stating that it can also speed up the decay on the internal sd card, leading to sd card failure.

Sorry for all the noob questions, its just that i dont want the phone dying on me cuz i dont really have an option to send it back to samsung/bell for a replacement (Dont live in Canada)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
I agree

I agree, this worrying about whether we rooted it/tweaked it/lag fixed it or not is BS. If you installed a 'hack' or 'fix' on a notebook/netbook and then watched videos for 10 hours and the memory or hard drive died you can be damn sure your warrenty would be OK. This is a hardware issue. Even if it is a software issue with the .sbl its still a hardware issue because it shouldn't have any issues with software as it was designed for Android and wow guess what we can do in Android! This is what it would be like if Microsoft sold computers...

When I get mine back (1st one bough in Nov with Virgin) I am going to stress the crap out of it and if it dies I am going to demand a return, get a galaxy 550 for the meantime and wait for something better to come out (maybe back with telus as I like their unlocking attitude these days).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Safe option?

The safe option is to sell it before it dies to someone that doesn't know you... Or e-bay sell it back to someone in Canada that could get it repaired. These models are ticking time bombs.

I must be more of a noob than I thought...I have no luck figuring out Multiload. I register, I try to download but nothing. I used to download tons of roms and flash for my TP2 but something keeps me from doing Multiload. They were mostly Hotfilewhich everyone hated...but worked great for me. Any help? I can see the file there but it won't let me do it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Raioneru:
Hi, I have a problem with the G2.

I have in my possession 2 of them, and they appear to be freaking out, the trackball is malfunctioning on both phone, at least that's my 1st impression.

I'd like to know if one of you faces the same issue and/or if there ways to get it fixed.

so to give you an example, when I use the phone it will push randomly all directions (up, down, right, left) and make it a pain in the ass to use the phone.

or when writing commands in the terminal emulator, the phone will randomly write: ^[[A^[[C^[[ ... etc etc and on and on.

do you guys think this is a hardware issue? cause it started 2 days ago, and I bought these 2 phones at the same time basically when the phone was released. (so I guess they are part of the 1st shipments and maybe faulty???)

let me know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] franky1029:
Since they're optical, there was probably some sort of lighting that was interfering with it. Happens to me from time to time...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Helixdimension:
Happened randomly to me too when I got this flawled phone and had to exchanged it(luckily was within first two weeks of tmobile phone trial). Now I'm dealing with flimsy structure, this craptastic Z slide feels like two magnets with same polarities facing each other it just won't shut anymore! I'm gonna send it in to htc and ebay this p.o.s.

No offense to htc and htc fan boys but I have learned my lesson, its sad tho because this is my first ever smart phone. I was previously on a samsung highlight with no internet or even email because I was a broke a$$ collage student freezing my fingers off with roommates in the winter saving money on utilities. Not even a month after I renew my contract the nexus s comes out which I wouldn't mind right now if only tmobile mandated their manufacters announce their phones so I can plan my purchase like i had been when I almost got a nexus one.

Carriers don't seam to care whose phone you have--but if it sucks you're options most certainly include leaving the carrier altogether to try something new...at least the iphone band wagon includes most if not all your friends or friends to-be whome you might like to game with. Businesses these days...

Now I'm ready to swing back the other way in the spectrum and go for iphone when it goes out on verizon. Who cares tho right? We're only the exclusive bunch that are stuck with g2 in a g2 only section of xda where no one will hear our plight? Wrong--we're a young generation with money in our hands. I'm 24 years old, i plan to get married now that i'm working and done with school, you better believe my future wife and children will own iphones or whatever else isn't a consumer's nightmare
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You're a fool if you think the iPhone has no flaws ir defective units. My wife's 3GS gets no GPS reception (turns out this is a fairly common issue), a friend had the radio crap out (was dropping all calls and data connections) and had to exchange, and another friend is having major battery issues (and of course the battery is not meant to be accessed on the iPhone). That's about a 30% failure rate in iPhone owners amongst my close friends.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raioneru:
gentlemen please behave! LOL

yes I'm very disappointed by this, and I'm thinking about offloading the device when I get this fixed. the motorola milestone milestone never let me down, dunno why I didnt get the second version over this one (I think it might because of the release date)

anyway, if more of you guys have any explanation to this situation please feel free to comment ^_^
[G2 and Desire Z General] Helixdimension:
N

And you're a fool for including coverage of at&t along with battery problems with mine and dude who started thread's hardware issues.

I'm sorry you had a hard time with your iphone, I myself think at&t fail hard so I really don't know where you thought I was saying iphone is the best, but get with the program you're comparing iphone 3gs with my supposed iphone4 contender the g2... maybe if you said something about the iphone4 I would care.

As I stated before at least iphone has a huge customer base to be among other things, scared of. on the other hand we get pissed on by android os phone manufacturers in the horse races playing catchup with apple to try and get consumers using droid phones. So I get duped into buying this g2 and nobody gives a damn. Btw this phone went down in price very quickly which goes to say it sucks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You misread, I don't own, and will never own an iPhone.

My friends iPhone radio issue has nothing to do with ATT coverage, which you are again completely misreading (and ATT is actually excellent in my market). Her iPhone worked fine for almost a year, then either the radio software or hardware failed. The issue was completely repeatable at the ATT store. The ATT rep then put her SIM in a different iPhone, and it worked fine. So it was obviously a issue with the phone, not the network.

If you think the iPhone 4 is so much more awesome than the 3GS, you must have slept though Apple's antenna design fail. You should also research the instances of cracks in the supposedly unbreakable (or at least very difficult to break) Gorilla Glass. And the iPhone 4 also has proximity sensor issues.

Who forced anyone to buy X product? Don't forget that you have a choice. These things are like food. A delicacy to one, is the most unappetizing thing to another. Aren't you glad you can choose which one to buy?

....a little research into what you are buying goes a LONG way

:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] digital_exhaust:
^^Nice first post^^

OP, have you called TMo customer service and asked about the problems your having? I've had nothing but excellent service from them with one small exception that was resolved very quickly. If your still in the buyers remorse (14 day) period they will send out new in the box units or allow you to exchange the phones for something different. If not, they still have a one year warranty, so you can get them replaced....

Hope you get things settled soon....
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raioneru:
yeah I think when I get back home next week I will try that, the thing is I don't know how long it might take for them to repair the phones :(

if they do repair them I will try the milestone II instead.
[G2 and Desire Z General] digital_exhaust:
If your out of the remorse period, they will send out replacement units, bare bones so to speak (no battery, SD card, back cover or charger)... In my case they sent them out priority and I had the replacement in three days. You don't return the defective units until the replacement arrives, so no down time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] delacerda:
T-Mobile will send you replacements before you send the defective units back. Basically they send you replacements, then you send the old ones back in the same box(es) they delivered them in.

Hope you get your issue resolved.... :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raioneru:
oh! so should I go to a local store and do that, or should I do it online?
[G2 and Desire Z General] digital_exhaust:
Dial 611 from your phone and ask for technical support. They'll walk you through it from there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Utorrent76:
More importantly, how did you get a g2 with a track ball?

Sent from my CyanogenMod powered G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] catachresistant:
Since the battery is built into the phone and cannot be removed, I'd say that counts as a "hardware issue".

Which isn't really the point here.

The point is that faulty devices will always exist, and the more complex the device, the higher the number of faults.

Yes, the iPhone wouldn't have had the issues that you had.

Because the iPhone doesn't have a slide-out keyboard.

Or an optical trackpad.

See?

Follow that line of thinking through, and you're back in featurephone land.

Fact is, smartphones are complex. Manufacturing faults are inevitable. You just got unlucky. Twice. How unlucky? Well, so unlucky that I've never heard of a single other case of this "inverse-polarity-like sliding mechanism".

Doesn't make it a bad phone tho.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
Hello guys,

This is my first post in this great looking forum & Happy New Year 2011 :D

I have a Sony Ericsson X10a phone from Canada's wireless provider Rogers. and I've tried unlocking it by buying a code from one of the unlocking sites out there, (am I allowed to say the sites' name?!) but it didn't work! They told me I had to check the attempts and whatnot, so they refused to give me my money back. :mad:

I followed this tutorial (below) but it didn't work out for me. :( and I have a feeling that Rogers locked this phone so damn good it can't be unlocked.

The Rogers logo is now gone after what I believe was flashed (and/or rooted) but the sim card is still locked.

Any chance I can format, update/upgrade, and "sim" unlock my phone?

Thanks for any help!

iSari

Oh yeah, If this post doesn't belong here please remove it to the appropriate section.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Hi.

You've debranded your phone, but simlocking is different, and there is no free way at the moment, so you'll need to have a browse of the numerous unlock threads to see which services people have used and decide for yourself.

And if you've been ripped off post the name of the company so others can avoid them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
So debranding the phone won't unlock it and you say "there's no free way atm." :(

and what do you mean by services?

Do you mean unlocking sites and/or paid programs?

The site is cellunlocker.net but I don't know if the code would've worked if I had enough attempts, but I still doubt that the code sent to me is genuine!

any chance of formatting the phone so I can have 5 or 10 new attempts?!

Thanks for your reply. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Correct.

Yes.

Not sure about that, mine came unlocked so didn't have to go through the process.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
You seem absolutely certain about your "unlocking" answer ;) but lets hope others have tried and unlocked their Rogers phones. < still waiting for hope!

Thank you once again :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Because I've read numerous threads on it over the last 6 months of being a member here. Loads of people have successfully unlocked their phones, the problem is however they've all had to pay. As for the Cellunlocker, some HERE have said it worked for them, so not sure why it didn't for you, and you'll find other suggestions HERE

Hi I unlocked my x10 from Rogers few months ago, but for that I had to pay $25 to a shop in my area and had it unlocked :) try checking stores who can unlock it.. depends on where you live in Canada
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
For how much?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
USD $36.50
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
he seem to know how to get a code but what if I exceeded the number of attempts?!

Thanks :)

I'm not in Canada at the moment. :)

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
thats a bit too much!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Well, his codes are manufacturer codes not carrier ones. If you check other sites the price is between $35-$40 for the Xperia X10. I have tried many sites with no success. But Lancez has provided me with the correct codes within 10 days and they worked from the first attempt. You can also read the review about his service from other members who used it on the same thread I gave you earlier. I have unlocked two X10a's through him with no problem.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gergith:
http://www.mobileincanada.com

$20 from here for Rogers x10a (That's what I am and what I got unlocked)

Confirmed worked. Got my code within 2 days.

If you don't know, you need to put in a sim card that ISNT rogers in order for it to ask you to input your unlock code. Perhaps your code actually does work but you didn't put it in the right place? It took me a while to figure this out
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
Well, how can I know manufacture codes from carrier codes? and how to determine if its genuine?! because I still believe cellunlocker.net ripped me off! :mad:

I did put another (non Rogers) sim card and I typed the code in the right place because there are no other places for it. and still it didn't work!

it showed "couldn't unlock sim. contact your service provider"
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
This is from personal experience. I unlocked two X10a's through him and both times the code worked flawlessly. That is all I can say :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
^ Thanks once again but I'm still hoping to unlock for free. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Good luck. I have spent 3 months (from September till December) trying to do the same with no success. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
Damn that hard huh!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Yep it is! :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjel-2k:
There are lots of sites out there. just be patient and make sure whoever you go with has great positive feedback from a wide range of individuals. I unlocked my rogers x10a for about $9.99 on eBay and it worked like a charm. Or try this site, they work very well.

if you want free unlocking then you have to wait till your contract period gets over and after that you can contact your provider and unlock your mobile that will be the safe way or can get it from online providers..if you get from online providers they will charge you..even i got unlock code for my mobile from Mobile-Unlocker and unlocked my mobile and i paid for it..

Hello,

I started this thread where all the flipfonts are collected because the big thread in the vibrant section was deleted. All the fonts are apks created along to the guide I wrote (based on ritalin's work) at the second post.

Below there is a link poiting to the post where I gathered the apks I created in order to fulfill the latest requests!

How to make flipfonts work on ics/jb roms and devices:

1) Install the app iFont (from the google Play Store)

2) Run the app (it should create a folder on your files) and then close it

3) Place your custom font .apk file on the root of that folder

4) Run iFont again, select the "Local" tab. Your font should be there. Select it and tap "Set".

The app will require you to reboot your phone. When you do, it's done.

Also pay attention:

all the fonts I recently created don't work on gingerbread systems.if you are running gingerbread and want a special flipfont,please let me know!

Feel free to join this thread and request new flipfonts or create and share ones.Please,provide the fonts you wish to be created,if possible, or post the link to download it.

Latest requests fulfilled:

but can you please give the 120 font another name i.e. BiminiBold120 so i can have both sizes installed and do a comparison?
