Hi,

originally I unlocked my phone by swiping a finger *across* the screen, since upgrading to Dutty's latest ROM the unlock swipe goes down. I think it's unlocking in my pocket like this, can I change it back to swiping across?

Thanks, Jamie

Anyone know of some sort of one click or easy rom installer that a beginner could do? I've rooted, but updating the g1 to froyo is just so intimidating. Anyone know of some sort of one click installer?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
No. Several parts of the system need to be updated, so that isn't possible.

Just tell us what you need help with.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
the "easiest" way to install a rom is through the ROM manager app that requires ClockwordMod recovery, but I've heard that it is pretty unreliable for the G1. I personally use AmonRa 1.7
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumatism:
same here. AmonRa is in fact the best way as it frees up the needed files to be changed or removed when installing a rom.

its quite simple to install a froyo rom. im a novice myself and found it easy to do. takes about 10 mins if you include collecting and transfering the files you need
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Can anyone explain the steps to upgrade to froyo from 1.6 with AmonRa 1.7? Did a search, couldn't find anything on the topic. Thanks in advance!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumatism:
most devs actually put this in their threads with the rom they have created. if not check out cyanogens wiki on his website. he has some information on how to do it on there.

I think all you really need to do is install the rom through amonra then if you want google apps, find one that will work with it and install that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
I'm sort of confused as to what AmonRa actually is. What does it do?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pl4sMa:
Mind giving your current setup is first?

ROM (which 1.6, CM4?) ? Recovery (RA-1.7.0 I guess)? SPL (Danger perhaps?)?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
I'm not rooted and have no custom roms installed...just stock ota 1.6 donut...I know how to root. But the froyo part just confuses me. What's amonra and how is it used to install froyo? All the guides confuse me...can someone break down everything to a beginner level so I can understand it a little more? I'm naturally good at most tech stuff so I catch on quick...I need help though!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pl4sMa:
Let's Give it a Shot

Hmm, lemme try. At least you're sure until the root part.

AmonRA is a recovery... the phone has system/boot, recovery, and fastboot.

Try reading ... hxxp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream:_Rooting

then shoot a question on which part u actually aren't sure and I'll try to help. CyanogenMod 6 is based on Froyo, so I guess that's the one you want.

Hi,

the HTC Desire doesn't charge or connect to pc when plug the HTC supplied cable in. It had been charged before and this case occurs after one night when I woke up and see the phone does not charge.

All other things are ok and also I checked the cable with meter and it has circuit.

It seems there isn't any electric current in the battery slots ?!:confused:

please suggest any test method so can understand the problem origin or other solutions.

Thanks in advance

Edit: It derives from MicroUSB's Loose so I'll take it to repair :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rami_10:
No an update won't cause such problem.

It may be an application that can cause this problem.

Try to uninstall any non market application.

Or download an antivirus to check it for you.

Anybody else have their Captivate get into a state where it will not receive calls or unlock? This happens to me once or week or so, if I reboot the phone it works fine until the next time.

I'll probably just reboot before going to bed each night, but that's rather annoying. A real fix would be better.

Hi there.

I'm a fairly junior user yet very eager to learn so..

I currently have an HTC Desire, just rooted with UnrEVOked: Android 2.2.

I came across this article on XDA and wondered how I would go about flashing the Desire HD's ROM onto my Desire Bravo. I'm oblivious to all this SD card partitioning/ EXT 2, 3 or 4 jargon etc. All I'm able to do is flash fairy simple ROMs. A step-by-step guide from someone who knows what they're talking about would be very much appreciated, because this ROM is awesome; I just wanna get it on my phone! Your help is very much appreciated.

However when I type in the last * the phone deletes the number from the screen...

Number:

*#*#checkin#*#*

*#*#2432546#*#*

Anyone found a way to force our phones to check for updates?

Most times when I try with the settings way it says cannot connect to AT&T.

And since so many of us cannot get the Kies program to work (win 7 x64 especially) it would be good to have a backup plan.
[Captivate General] kdwolf85:
Open up settings, scroll to the bottom, tap software update. This is how you check for a software update OTA. Many of us would not accept any OTA updates due to it bricking phones in the past. I have win7 x64 and I can connect to KIES just fine. Make sure you have the right drivers installed. This may be your issue. If you have to have 2.2 right now download and flash one of the many custom ROMs. If you are waiting for the Oofficial 2.2 update...I would suggest you wait until someone extracts the files from the official update and posts it here and flash it with Odin.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
This all would be useful if there were updates in the first place...
[Captivate General] born_fisherman:
Even when I had my "refurb" from ATT after JH7 was released, I never was able to use the phone's internal software to check for server updates (always received the unable to connect error no matter what day/time) - I had to use Kies to get JH7 "officially" - I'm pretty sure that is how they are going to do updates from now on anyhow.

Wish Samsung did things like Apple with their updates - Version x.x is out - everyone gets it- you know??!@
[Captivate General] Picsman:
I am green with envy! :o (Purple is as close as I could come.)

What magic have you performed?

What version of Kies Mini are you running? (You are running "mini," yes?)

The only version to download is 10082_8_1 but with an update I cannot dodge I'm running 1.0.0.10104_1. Since that update, Kies Mini has never "seen" my phone (although it does know when I've set USB debugging on... which it wants me to turn off).

Thank you for your response/help.
[Captivate General] banesong:
Do you have an alternative launcher loaded? In order for mini kies to see my phone, I had to go back to the stock launcher before it would recognize my phone.
[Captivate General] ua549:
I have the same issue as Picsman running Mini Kies on Win 7 x64. Other than being rooted for Titanium Backup and the simlock removed my phone is stock JH7.

When I try the number to force a check, I get a message box saying "Rejected".
[Captivate General] Picsman:
Except for some apps, my phone is a virgin. Still the stock launcher and I'm pretty sure no apps which would tweak the OS, either. BTW, I'm running 32 bit Windows 7 Pro.

I just tried to connect using Kies but this time with no SD card. Same result; Kies does not see the phone when connected. OTOH, Kies knows when the phone is in USB debugging mode and says to turn that off and reconnect in Keis mode.

Device Manager says everything is installed properly, the modem and the composite US device. I can access the phone's storage and SD card from Windows 7. When in Kies mode, the phone says "connected.". Everything seems correct and "normal" except Kies does not see the phone and therefore I cannot even advance to get the dreaded "cannot connect to server" message. :D

It seems to me the problem is with the auto-updated version of Kies I'm running as before that update I did download and install the 2.1 update using Kies.

How do you scream on XDA? If I scream, will anybody hear me? And, will screaming change anything? So I'll just say "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krishpeen:
Hi.

My x10 mini pro has terrible touchscreen issues while being on dc charger.

For example arranging icons is totally impossible and the upper panel keeps on showing up and stuff.

As a result the phone is almost unusable as long as it's on charger. But when charging via pc everything seems to be perfectly ok.

Anyone has the same problem? Or did I just get a defective device/charger?

Also, my battery lasts for only some 4-5 hrs. I've had the phone for 4 days now, so i'm still givin it quite a business, but 4 hours? Seriously..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yahona3:
Well I don't think that is normal , you better take it to where you purchased it and tell them about the whole thing that's not normal.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
Is your phone Android 1.6 or 2.1? I have the same problem before but the problem with my phone not only happens when it is being charged through charger but also while connected to USB port on a PC. I had it replaced with a new one. They said it is a hardware issue but others say it only happens when they upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 so it is probably a 2.1 bug.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krishpeen:
Well, to be honest, I dunno.. I've upgreded to 2.1 right away, so I don't remember if this appeared on 1.6 as well :\ But I don't wanna run on 1.6 anyways, so this doesn't bother me really :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robsaw:
I had a similar problem on my mini pro but ONLY when using a charger other than the SE one that came with the phone; fine with PC USB charging or from the SE charger but goes crazy with false touchscreen presses or the TS failing to respond at all on one occasion until I figured out it was the non-SE charger. I think the issue may be that when using a stand-alone USB charger, the SE version supplies much more current than a standard USB port; presumably, when using a port on a PC the driver SW adjusts the charging current to compensate but non-SE chargers may not supply sufficient voltage under the charging draw the mini pro wants.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] davidthegreatz:
yeah~ just go for a ORIGINAL charger, don't buy a cheap one, buy a better one! it's the charger problem:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Neliscornelis:
My work-around

Hello all,

I'm experiencing the same problem and might have some new insights. I have tried multiple chargers including the Sony Ericsson charger that came with the phone. These are my findings:

- SE charger (wall socket 2 USB) (5V, 850mA) - The problem occurs, however I'm able to navigate

- Cheap Ebay charger (wall socket 2 USB) (5V, 1000mA) - The problem occurs, can't even get passed the lock screen

- Cheap charger (complete charger, no seperate USB cable needed) (5V, 550mA) - No problems

- Charging via USB of laptops and desktops with the USB cable that came with the phone (5V, 500mA) - No problems

Needless to say that with 500mA the charging takes very long.

BUT...here comes the kicker (and my solution):

- HTC ORIGINAL AC EU WALL Charger TC E250 USB ADAPTER (Wall socket 2 USB) (5V, 1000mA) - Charges fast and no problems.

So, in my case it seems as if the problem occurs while charging above 550mA and probably only with cheap chargers, including the SE one. The original HTC charger works like a charm.

I also found out that the touch controller is right next to where the micro USB connection is located. (google "Sony Xperia X10 Mini Pro Teardown and Analysis", I can't post links here...)

Apparently, bad chargers interfere. Hope this helps.

touchscreen problems

hi! i have similar problems!

that problems occur when connecting phone to my pc with original SE cable.

also tried with another original usb->microUsb SE cable, and problem stays...

no matter what charger I use, i always have same problems with touchscreen.

also I tested it with original htc charger and everything is same again, touch screen is registering multiple taps!

so, for now i tested this situations, and problem is always occurring:

-when connecting phone to pc with original SE cable

-when charging via wall outlet (tested with 2 original sony ericsson chargers)

-with original htc charger

only exception, when everything is working fine is when i plug phone in my car (via car lighter->usb adapter)

any solution?

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nxtwrld:
I can confirm this bug. Original charger 1.6 and 2.1 all the same. The phone seems to be registering random touch events without any physical input.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krishpeen:
