[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionut.:
hi,

thanks for your post, and for trying to help. i should mention that i have never sync the phone with pc, i never need this. and i tried to hard spl the phone, but also gives error, it shut down. from then i tried several tims to do the update with the sony-ericsson application, it check's the phone and said that i have the latest software, but if there is any problem, try reinstaling the software. i push the reinstall button, it starts reinstalling, but the bar goes between 10 to 25, other time even 60 %, and then gives the communication error, and sais to try again.

i am no expert, this is the first time i try to do this on a phone, so if there is anyone who is so kind to explain step by stpe what i have to do, i shoul thanks him verry much.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
So you want to install custom ROM to your phone? you need hardSPL first

If you have it hardSPL it will show 0.7.2.ollinex

then you just flash it. Try google how to hardSPL and FLash

simple mechanism,

X1 (Stock ROM and Stock SPL) -> hard SPL -> X1 (Stock ROM + hardSPL) -> Flash custom ROM (Energy ROM) -> X1 (hard SPL + Custom ROM)

WHY should Hard SPL?

because as DK explained above, SPL is the bios of your X1 and won't accept any ROM beside Stock ROM. so to have your X1, you need to change by doing Hard SPL, it will make your X1 accept any kind of ROM, stock or customed.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outlaw021705:
is it better to upgrade Stock ROM and Stock SPL to install applications? sorry, i'm just new in SE phone specially x1, so many things to learn here..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
They're both the same. Applications will install fine on a stock rom as well as a custom rom, there's NO difference. Think of it as jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone, they can still install apps from the app store with no problems, NOTHING is changed.

In fact, think of it as a car. An normal car uses petrol. A car with a modified engine ALSO uses petrol. So there's no difference.

The difference between a stock and custom rom however, is huge. A custom rom is basically a stock rom, but modified. Custom roms gives you more customizability, just like jailbreaking an iDevice. Most of the custom roms run more efficiently, and a lot faster than a stock rom.

It's NOT hard to install a custom rom, you just have to read the guides properly and follow the simple steps. It's worth every bit of your time. Just follow the 8 steps here to install hardSPL:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431218

and here if you want video tutorials:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497511

And btw, the SPL thing is just the same as a jailbreak. It's a hack basically. Installing hardSPL will jailbreak your device so that you can install custom roms on it, it's basically "unlocking" the device so you can do whatever you want with it.
[General Questions and Answers] Rekooo:
Hey guys! Got problem tho. I flashed my Galaxy 3 (I5800) to I5800XXJPB it worked fine for couple of days. Then I installed "Hancet SMS" and some of font packs for it, when font packs was installing my device freezed. I removed battery, tried to turn it on. And it freezed at first screen. When i'm trying to do factory reset it freezes on "Formating DATA:...". Installed custom JPA/JPB rom, still doesn't work. What I should do? Force upload/recovery mode/download mode works.

NEVERMIND. Installed original firmware found on samfirmware.com and it booted. Finally.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funstuffalex:
the only way i can connect is if im having free sky above me....

however if im in a mall whit 70% glass rooftop i cant get a gps signal going

is this a general problem or should i go try another device

also is there any way to make the screen not switch off wile ur in google maps(not navigation)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Gps needs direct line of sight to the sky. The mall side walls surely will block the necessary satellites on the mid to low horizon which is why you can't get a lock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gvoima:
And glass is a solid substance, the same as any other roof, so it has an attenuating quality. The light has no idea that it is transparent to human eye.

And yes, it needs atleast three satellites to triangulate your position somewhat accurately, so there's more to it than just a line of sight upwards.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knytphal:
Am I the only one that thinks that must be a ginormous mall in order to need GPS while inside it? ;)

As far as leaving the screen on while google maps is on the screen....the only thing that immediately comes to mind would be to go into your display settings and set a longer timeout.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
even in a car with the phone sitting on the dash you can have issues getting a signal. The only sure way your going to get a super fast lock is outside with clear lines of sight to the sky.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
LOL.

But seriously, many apps use location services as a big part of the app (Yelp, Foursquare, etc), or as an added feature (any twitter app), and even Google's browser app uses location for Latitude and for location-based search results.

Or maybe he's a mall walker for exercise and needs his GPS enabled tracking app (RunMaster Pro is free this month on the Market instead of the usual $9.99 by the way) to track his progress.

You may not need GPS for those to work if there are enough mapped wifi spots to get a fix, but there's plenty of reasons to want your GPS to work inside a mall. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funstuffalex:
dude i dont need gps in the mall but compared whit my old htc touch hd the gps signal is alot harder to get; just wanted to know if its a issue whit my phone or its a general problem

Gps, wifi and network conections all are ****tyer on this phone then on my 2 year old htc touch hd....i expected a bit more from the latest google phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
well in that case it might just be the problem with the nexus s. many people do seem to say it's GPS is weaker than other phones. and if you have other phones that can get a solid gps lock in the mall, but your nexus s cant, then it just must be weaker.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdi1988:
search for GPS status in the market. run the app. go to tools and manage a-gps.

reset the gps then download a-gps data. you should see an improvement in GPS reception. for me it is a BIG difference compared to before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MagicMans:
Hello,

I was going to upgrade my Magic ROM to sense UI one...

If I upgrade my rom, will it delete the Current Android 2.2 in my Phone...???

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Way to tell us what you currently have! :rolleyes:

If you don't currently have a Sense UI rom... then more than likely, yes because MOST Sense UI roms require a wipe before installing. Consult your developer.

An important question to you would be... what kind of MyTouch do you have?

32A

32B

MyTouch with 3.5mm headphone jack (32A/32B hybrid... but mostly 32B)

If you don't know what any of that is... you're probably not even rooted yet. REQUIREMENT!

There are very few Sense UI roms for 32B devices (AND MyTouch 1.2!) because many of the Sense UI roms require the 32A kernel and radios.

So if you currently use a MyTouch 1.2 (with 3.5 headphone jack) or a 32B spl then you won't have the full Sense UI anyway. You'll be missing video recording and bluetooth plus you'll be required to place many of the system files (and data!) on a seperate partition on your sdcard AND have a third partition for swap (unless you use the fat32 partition to create the swap.swp file).

So... bottom line... yes. It does effect Android.

Suggestions?

Make a backup with nandroid before doing ANYTHING!

Also use a backup app. Titanium, MyBackupPro, etc.

READ, SEARCH, READ, SEARCH and READ/SEARCH some more!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricankng787:
So I updated to the newest version of Clockwork Recovery and have backups that have a previous versions as well but as some of you may or may not know v3 is full of bugs.

I cannot flash or restore anything and the phone boots and force closes everything off of the restore. Only thing that seems to be working is 3G, wifi, and unlock screen. When I slide to unlock I get HTC Sense and HTC DM forced closing over and over.

Is there anyway to force a downgrade or switch to amon ra recovery from recovery mode?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Try doing a full wipe in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricankng787:
Tried the full wipe but the phone continues to act the same way, keeps rebooting the htc "quietly brilliant" screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omegablues:
CWM Recovery 3.0.0.X

If that doesn't work you may have to flash a stock image and re-root. Once re-rooted you can flash a prior recovery 2.5.x and restore from there. That's what I had to do after upgrade to 3.0.0.0. Not hard just frustrating.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I'm pissed. This should have been tested thoroughly. This isn't like some game that FC's. This screwed a lot of people. Unroot and re-root like he said.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KwestJones:
I didn't have to reroot.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I tried that and it didn't work. It said something about scripts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricankng787:
Help!

I can't reroot or any of that, it won't get past the splash screen. I can access the recovery mode but when I restore a NAND backup or wipe and/or anything else it just reboots right into the splash again. This is a real big disappointment, I dont' think I will ever use clockwork again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
Koush talked about how in 3.0 he removed the support for the old scripts that google has dropped since android 1.6. He and AmonRa kept support for that style of scripting for a while, but most rom builders should have been off of those by now. CyanogenMod has been using the newer scripting for more than 9 months now.

[TG01 General] lucanfo:
Hi, as I send a sms message, a copy will remain in the "sent message" folder and e second copy appears in the "recived message" folder. Why?

In Italian language the folders are: "Posta inviata" and "Posta in arrivo".

an not understand why a copy of a sent message is appearing in the received staff.

Thank you for help.:)
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Because it's 'threaded messaging' - so your sent item appears as if you would see in 'chat'. It makes easier to see what you replied to certain message and the flow of conversation with your contacts.
[TG01 General] lucanfo:
Thanks for quik reply.....

OK, but no way to get copy in the "sent message" only?:o
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
You can have third-party sms client that support traditional messaging.

if you don't want to install 3rd party apps, you can do a simple registry edit - I used Resco Registry editor - but there are plenty of free ones in google.

You need to browse to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings

Under this add a new DWORD value called "SMSInboxThreadingDisabled" and set it to 1.

If that doesn't work - try adding same DWORD but at this location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM

Soft-reset your phone and this should work! :)
[TG01 General] lucanfo:
:cool:Great, I will try as soon I decide to do a soft reset. In fact I do not remember what I loose after soft reset (address etc...)

I will investigate.

Thanks for all!!:)
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Hi,

You DONT loose anything with soft reset. You are thinking of hard reset here ;) i.e. factory reset = hard reset.

Soft reset = restart your phone! :rolleyes:

You won't loose anything :D

thanks for replying so fast :)
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
There well not be issues after flash

Open odin, battery out, sim and external sd out, battery in back cover on, volume up and down while plugging on usb. Should be in download.

As far as roms we can talk once you get to stock
[Captivate General] smackdownn:
i downloaded odin one click stock for captivate I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0

i connected as u said..the phone has yellow android icon and written downloading... below

but when i click start in odin it says "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"

edit: i got it to connect but its just stuck on file analysis... how much time will it stay there?

edit 2: ok got it working now :D flashing :D
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
It should not stick on file analysis for long. You may h ave to pull battery and start over

Do you have correct usb drivers

Was odin fully open prior to plugging your phone in
[Captivate General] smackdownn:
actually i started phone first and then opened odin,that was the mistake :)

flashing has completed just now :)
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
If it went through then no issue. Odin should be opened first, sometimes it will hadn't up if not done so
[Captivate General] smackdownn:
iam back on stock all coz of ur help :):):):)

now can u tell me about which rom is better? :D
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
What are you looking for, how did you like axura. There are allot or there, and a couple real good ones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wranglerswthrt:
I have a samsung viberent. I would like to copy or move an internal bloatware app to my new phone (G2). It is called the mini diary application. I have zipped and opened the odex and apk files for it. Even though it is on my SD card, the quick app installer can not place it on my new phone. I would like help with this dilemma, or an answer if it can be done. If I root the phone will it erase all that I have,or can a back up store what I have entered in to it, or will it be blank? Will pay for real results. Do not want to brick my phone. Just remove bloatware and install 1 internal based application to different phone, the G2.

I have installed astrozip, and seem to be able to access the files on the phone, but unsure what I can so with it next. I want to install 1 application I like, and remove what I can from G2.

Nope after you upgraded to official XXJPY, you will get Samsung Stock Lockscreen. If you use custom XXJPY rom, it depends what the custom rom gives you. Darky's is using AOSP lockscreen. Nonetheless, you can still do it manually and it's very easy. Download the theme template from here:

[Galaxy Tab General] cylent:
hello all.

just bought a new galaxy tab for the price of $750 here in Baghdad today. it was brought over from UAE and has full Arabic and the best android 2.2 system.

i am extremely happy to have it however the happiness stops to when the spec of dust appeared to my eyes. right under the sticker that comes on the screen appeared a white dot to the very right of the screen. however when i use the unit the although not apparent it looks like a dead pixel rather than a spec of dust because it looks to mix colors. (i would take a picture later and attach it to this post) -- the area i am talking about can be shown here. its on the very top right hand corner of the center image in step 18; http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown/4103/3

i am considering tearing the unit apart and blowing some air under the screen this is if the item is dust.. is it easy? i am looking over some videos to take it apart. -- according to the steps from the link above step 18 requires a heat gun and that i am not too good with.

OR

shall i just ignore it?

Any experiences with things like this?

thanks!

[wow a 104 views as of this edit and no replies? hmm]
[Galaxy Tab General] dboppc130:
there was an article that showed the teardown of a tab. They said it took an extream amount of heat to seperate the glass from the screen.

I would send it back to Samsung for replacement or try and ignor it.
[Galaxy Tab General] bdl1969:
+1 for sending it back to Samsung, a device this expensive shouldn't come with any dead pixels! If you open it to try and fix it yourself you'll invalidate your warranty and then will really be stuck with it!!
[Galaxy Tab General] cylent:
thanks for the response guys.

that option really isnt valid here where i am. i tried with the shop i bought it from but now i am deciding to just put up with it. oh well.

perhaps those dead / stuck pixel fixers or something...

Try this Pixel Fixer program. I had two stuck pixels on my DroidX when I got it. This fixed it.

Don't give up after one try. It took several attempts over a number of days using Pixel fixer to clear up my stuck pixels.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] apemania:
Intoduction

Hey guys,

There are different kinds of themes since X8 has updated to 2.1 with root, but once if you replace the theme wrongly may lead the phone crash!

Words in red are talking about controls on Android

* This tutorial is for sharing purpose, for any damaging, I don't take any responsibilities!!

Preparation

Don't worry, actually the theme is the file called "framework-res.apk" in the /system/framework

To recovery the framework-res.apk , you can use xrecovery to recover it,

for more details about xrecovery please go to here

Other than the xrecovery, you also need a ROOTed phone and a USB Cable

* xrecovery requires ROOTed phone, if you are using for

1.6 root go to here

2.1 root go to here / here / here

Method 1

After you have booted into xrecovery, follow the steps:

1) Go to "Partition tools"

2) Click "Mount /system" (after clicking it, it should have changed to "Unmount /system"

3) Leave the phone, don't switch it off

4) Connect the phone via the USB Cable and go to Windows

5) Place the framework-res.apk in the directory where the adb is (remember to name the theme as "framework-res.apk" or else it doesn't work!)

6) Go to Adb (if you don't know what is adb, search on the net)

7) Type or copy the following commands

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

8) Wait a little while after it was done, unplug the USB Cable

9) Back to your phone, the xrecovery should be still running, go back and select "Reboot Phone"

10) Wait a while until it boots, it should work

Method 2 (If you have another launcher installed in the phone)

If the Method 1 doesn't work, try this

Do as the Method 1 says, then if it boots up, there is still a way to recover your phone!

When it boots up, the phone might keep showing up a message about "force close"

juz keep clicking it, and use another phone and call your phone, then end call

try a few times if it doesn't work, click "force close" if it appears...

juz keep clicking and when the launcher select menu shows, click the one that works

Go to root explorer (it should not have crashed, i think...)

go to "/system"

Click the button on the top right hand corner and take access to the "/system"

The button should have changed to "Mount R/O"

Now, you can access the files

Go to "/system/app"

Reinstall the important things that "force close" had shown

Thats the way I recover my phone~

Downloads

ORIGINAL X8 framework-res.apk 2.1 (credits go to propc for uploading it)

* Other themes are here, you can search them there

Ask if you don't know, I am not a prfessional, but we can discuss about it

Please feel free to share the themes in this thread !!!!
