Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And who cares about Access Control? It's not necessary now that we have strong WPA/WPA2 encryption, and of course a true AP with the Droid X and Droid 2.

Besides, I believe Access control relies on the MAC Address which can be easily spoofed since it's sent as plain text. You guys rock!!!
[Droid X General] mxgregg:
My wife just got a D2 Global. I have a DX and I am trying to get her a wireless tether setup. I also ket the same kernel message. Has anybody had luck with the 3G hot spot? I could use some help! Thanks.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Yes... just turn on 3g hotspot then toggle airplane mode on then back off and you should have free wifi... that's how I do it. Its encrypted and runs nice and smooth
[Droid X General] sic0048:
You do understand that the "error" message has nothing to do with the normal usage of the program. It will work just fine even if you get that error. You just cannot use the "Access Control" portion of the program which was a way to limit the devices that could connect to the phone. However, as stated by other members, you don't need access control at all. Just use WPA encryption and a strong password. This is a more secure connection than using WEP and access control.
[Droid X General] WonderDroid:
Thanks for the heads up
[Droid X General] slickbmw:
Do I need to turn 3g mobile hotspot on for wireless tether to work? I see the network on my laptop, but keeps saying it can't connect. Any tricks? Thanks!
[Droid X General] robedney:
Droid X rooted and Nook Color rooted. Works great! Solves the infrastructure problem :) Had to uninstall and re-install as directed, but that did the trick. A big thank you!
[Optimus 7 General] roach_779:
My Optimus 7 camera settings keeps resetting. I would change my camera setting, go to main menu, but when I go back to camera, settings goes back to default. Bug? Or anything I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
[Optimus 7 General] Sledgeman:
It's like this on every WP7-device. Hopefully Microsoft will correct it in an update.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
As stated above, this is an issue affecting ALL WP7 phones and is not unique to LG. It is frustrating, and I hope Microsft will fix it in an upcoming update, since this problem pretty much kills the whole "quick snap" of WP7...
[Optimus 7 General] fb401:
Wow, I thought it was just me. My video recorder setting won't change from VGA to 720p. Very frustrating.

[XPERIA X10 General] ssj_jaypee:
is there an official release date yet?
[XPERIA X10 General] muratbaizhanov:
thats a bad news i think - it confirms - no gbread for x10
[XPERIA X10 General] Timbits93:
That was what i was afraid of, FroYo means no Gingerbread :/

But i'm going to probably find a way to do an upgrade to one of SE's newly announced handsets with Rogers as i'm sure they'll carry at least one of them.
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
Wow. Re-read the engadget liveblog. It says this:

4:51PM They keep showing the Xperia X10 on the screen. Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10. UPDATE: This was a terrible joke, ruined by a typo. It was supposed to say "Not shown." Our apologies -- liveblogging is a rough game.

Xperia X10 = No Froyo? I don't know. I will bet XDA Devs will make a fully Functioning/working Froyo Rom before SE does.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Yes this was a typo! No 2.2!
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
ok so its still up in the air

but this could be a good thing we may still get gignerbread

you wait til MWC 2011
[XPERIA X10 General] tr0llica:
yes i hope for froyo, still beter then get stuck on eclair, i know there i custom rom but it is based on eclair kernel so it is great news, i hope they will enable doubletouch, 16m colors and acces to full RAM(360MB or something).
[XPERIA X10 General] rabetionline:

UPDATE: This was a terrible joke, ruined by a typo. It was supposed to say "Not shown." Our apologies -- liveblogging is a rough game.

Updated statement from Engadget about Froyo on X10 in CES cant be true! do we have Horn?

Compare:

1- Now shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10

2- Not shown: a Froyo upgrade for the Xperia X10 (Updated)

if statment 2 be true:

- statement 2 means that Engadget had known that X10 must be upgrade to Froyo

I think SE wants Engadget to change their statement.
[XPERIA X10 General] viper619:
I hope that there will be a 2.2 update. But at the same time i don't care if it will not come as long as my mobile is working well and doing what its supposed to do.
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
This is bad news indeed.. all the time it was just a typo !! :mad::mad: Hopefully someone else at CES would be able to scoop on the status of X10 - (Abandoned/Hope/In the Game)
[XPERIA X10 General] soldiers33:
wow i was getting extremely excited. I hope atleast the update 2 brings back the old messaging app and the light blue wallpaper no the current dark blue one.
[XPERIA X10 General] NoTnERb:

i'm wondering now what are those GREAT NEWS unknown13x was talking about...because apart from MT, DNLA, etc which comes with the next update...i can't see any "good news" if they aren't froyo or gingerbread.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Its ok, Sony ericsson UK doesnt usually know anything :)

Just a few days before the original 2.1 update day at the end of September, they still 'confirmed' to me that we will get it then. I think(and hope) that they are intentionally kept out of the loop by SE themselves because nobody likes them :)
[XPERIA X10 General] pluxyplag:
This could be a deliberate move by sony ericsson,given the fact that a lot x10 users were impatient with the eclair.rather give no news than to keep people in suspense to a point where bloggers were discrediting the workmanship of sony developers and their deadline targets being postponed for whatever reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] xcxa23:
i tot the UK branch is SE headquarter?
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
No ANT+ update either

SE's developer blog (not the product blog) has information on the ANT+ support for sports/medical devices on the Xperia line.

Guess what, the X10 is specifically NOT mentioned except as a Mini or Pro.

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/devel...with-ant-enabled-health-and-fitness-products/

FWIW: I left a comment asking if there was a reason that the X10 wasn't mentioned, and they removed it.

Okay, I understand why the X10 is left out. No HARDWARE to support ANT+ but the Mini and Pro DO have the hardware installed just not activated. http://www.dailyfinance.com/rtn/pre...blished-interoperable-standard/rfid371628064/ and more on ANT+ vs Bluetooth http://runningdigital.com/2010/10/30/bluetooth-and-ant-sensor-tech-for-mobile-phones-today/
[XPERIA X10 General] arj154:
you know, if there gonna do this, why dont they just release the source code for just the drivers and the signing kit so they can keep there crappy ROMs as there own and just let the xda devs upgrade the phone. They can say "we do not endorse this, you will not be supported, your warrenty is void"etc. and it wont matter to the people on this site. Its just soo annoying that there not even gonna bring froyo to the xperia x10, i just want flash videos and a faster device overall... Im definitely going to HTC with my next upgrade.
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
Your comment is still there.
[XPERIA X10 General] hubseven:
Because with x10 hardware capped because of software restraints they can release similar hardware in a new phone and get more money for it!
[XPERIA X10 General] arj154:
I also sent this series of tweets;

@SonyEricssonUK I will not be buying any more Sony Ericsson phones as you have decided to stop upgrading the x10 before the 1 year mark.

@SonyEricssonUK Furthermore I have been actively discrediting the Sony Ericsson brand and I have been recommending HTC phones.

@SonyEricssonUK keep in mind that its the advanced users who most people turn to for tech advice.
[XPERIA X10 General] gsanchez1978:
Well, seems we won't have an official 2.2 update from SE, it's obvious, SE' developers are to busy creating new ways to prevent us from rooting our phones. Well, I guess it doesn't matter as we have XDA Developers'.
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
You don't seem like an advanced user if you recommend HTC phones. Sony Ericsson made some mistakes regarding the software for the xperia x10, but HTC made some big hardware mistakes with all of their phones and that can't be fixed with software. For example, their crippled amoled displays, their messed up camera's, ... And besides that, they released many phones that look almost the same and have a very cheap look.

And don't get me wrong, i too am very dissapointed if this turns out to be true. But i'm going to wait untill unknown13 has any comments about this. He said he had some good news.
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Not sure if its been said before but the new Arc seems to be mostly the same hardware as X10, surely it can be ported for 2.3 on the x10
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
SE UK tweeted this a few minutes ago:

Total B.S... The X10's 2.1 ROM lacks Apps2SD, Flash, JIT (for starters).

The X10 lacks multi-touch support, 16M colours, has volume issues, etc. It's in the same boat as far as issues as every other phone around. And you're not an "advanced user" if you consider a "very cheap look" an issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] javagreen:
Not to pick on anyone, but I personally do take the physical look and feel of a device into consideration when making a purchase decision - and it's one of the reasons why I rejected the Samsung Galaxy S and went for the X10i instead, despite the Samsung being cheaper by about $50 - $60 at the time.

It's just like no Multitouch is not an issue for some, while it is a deal breaker for some.
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
It does support multi-touch gestures, wich at the time of production was the latest available. Other phones that were released around the same time like the nexus one also had the same multitouch gestures. It does support 16m colours, but it just needs the software. Like i said, the software can fix a lot of things including the low volume. Those things can be fixed or enabled with software. You can't fix the pixel structure and the purple haze of the HTC amoled panels. You can't fix the purple haze on the pictures taken with HTC phones.

Your right though about the fact that all phones suffer from problems. And i don't understand how so many phones can have all those problems, don't they test it?

The cheap look isn't an issue, but it illustrates that HTC doesn't do anything right hardware wise.
[XPERIA X10 General] arj154:
I just generally mean anyone who enjoys technology, it happens in any family or group of friends etc they'll ask a friend or family member about phones if they have any interest in technology no matter how limited it is.

I realise HTC dont always produce high quality phones but at least there usable and much more user friendly than a Sony Ericsson phone. My friends HTC Wildfire is easy enough for him to use and I know that he is very bad when it comes to technology. Personally i dont take looks into account with tech, i just want it to be easy and fast to use. I was going to say HTC or Samsung but there is a character limit. Also I think the camera is less and less important to consumers, as long as it takes decent pictures its ok for most people.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Well, if they make completely official that X10 won't get 2.2, I wouldn't be surprised. I know how SE works...

However, I don't feel Im stuck in Eclair, Im just enjoying everything my phone can do. When the time is right I'll change and if SE has another phone that convinces me, I'll go for it. If not, there are another brands!

I guess I'd need 2.2 in the future for compatibility and things like that, but we can wait for a custom ROM, right? :D

Too bad there are no HTC phones in my country, I'd like to try them too.
[XPERIA X10 General] shaider_516:
Even cheap oem china phones have froyo and multi touch. Damn you S.E.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Actually, the X10 does not support multi-touch gestures. If it did, we'd have them now. Instead, SE has promised that they will give us MT support, though until they deliver that doesn't mean much.

The N1 and HTC Desire suffer from the axis crossing issue that Se has stated will be a limitation of the X10s MT. But to my knowledge the Motorola Droid doesn't have that issue and it's an older phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] tr0llica:
no, if bootloader wont be cracked, we cant change kernel so we are stuck with 2.1 kernel
[XPERIA X10 General] :
But it's just about time for the bootloader to be cracked, right?

no not really, actually it looks like it wont be cracked, look into android development forum, also with cracked bootloader you can load custom kernel with features like full acces to RAM, change to 16M colors, overclocking etc

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christkw:
I'm using HTC Desire, which always encounter a problem of low memory space. As for the spec of this handset, there is only 512MB ROM equiped. But I saw handsets by other manufacturer, for example: Samsung, are equiped with 8GB ROM, even more for some models. Is there any concern to equip greater size of ROM in Android handsets? I can't understand the reason for such a great brand in smartphone is supplying such a poor spec for their phones.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
Expandable memory, root and apps2sd. Even the Froyo apps2fat works fine to save space.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christkw:
One main problem I've enountered is the speed and launching of applications. When I've moved apps to SD, it may takes quite a long time while booting up, which is, I'm not able to launch any app in the first few minutes of booting up. And widgets from those apps are also unable to launch after rebooting too. So I'm so interested in phones with large internal storage but also love HTC Sense so much. :mad:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] otivaeey:
You're wrong, the Android users have messed up with ROM memory, internal SD, external SD and RAM. Samsung has 8 GB internal SD, not ROM. HTC Amaze 4G has 2.5 GB ROM in total, apparently HTC one S has ~2.2 GB ROM in total but with the same number of apps, one S can achieve 1.8 GB free ROM memory. Correct me if I'm wrong, One series users. There must be something wrong with Amaze's ROM memory utilisation.

On my HTC Amaze 4G, at least 250 MB ROM memory is needed before the "insufficient memory available" bug appears everytime you install an app. As soon as you move apps to external memory in order to save ROM memory, your apps will start to lose integrity and the whole android experience will suck.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bthoven:
I think you should try free app Justpictures. It is much better than the stock one. You can choose which folders to build catalog (not everywhere like the stock one, which causes everything slow down).

Justpictures also allow you to link to your Picasa and Flickr accounts. A very neat and fast software.

[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Hey guys,I just discovered that something has appeared on the upper left corner of my DHD,thankfully over the screen(Look at the attached images).

It looks like the black whatever-the-hell-it-is behind the screen glass is broken at that point.From what I recall,I have only dropped it one time,but it was from like 40cm onto a wool carpet,so no damage there.The only "experience" that might have something to do with it is that my pal tried to punch me on the leg,and the bastard hit my pocket,where my phone was(the shock I was in was unbelievable!But his hand was aching for like 2 days! :D :p ).I cannot know where he hit it,but if it was the upper left corner,then this might be the answer.

I would have known earlier,but I only noticed that some days ago when I watched a movie on my phone in a dark room.In bright light it's not so easily seen.It is,however,annoying to see because it catches my eye(I can't help looking at it when I know it's there)and I am constantly afraid it might expand and cause a serious problem.

Given that there is always the chance it's a manufacturing defect,should I return it?I mean,it's not that big a problem,but it is a flaw in a rather flawless phone!

What would you guys do?Is it worth the trouble?I could always wait and see if it gets worse and get used to it on the way.

Any opinion/help welcome! :)

EDIT:I forgot to mention that it is only observable when the screen is on,so the light comes from within the device.That's what led me to the conclusion that it's an internal fracture.
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
Sorry mate but I really can't see **** from your photos. I think you really need to adjust the expose settings on the camera or just use a better camera to begin with... Happy to comment when I can see the problem :confused:
[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
Same here man, would love to help but i can't see anything. Better pictures would help.

If some one hit me hard on my leg pfff... If some one hit me hard on my phone, he will be searching for his teeth now....

;)

Jokes apart, it could well do some damage to the phone, it wasn't meant to sustain this abuse on the screen.
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Take a better photo where you actually have some back light. I can't see jack in the photos.
[Desire HD General] evivbulgroz:
I have this too, but to a lesser extent.I don't know what caused this but it was there when I got the phone.It's like a small dot of light leaking.You should take better pictures so we can see better.
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
At the very least use a paint program to circle what you're trying to show because I'm with the others above and can't see what you're trying to show at all.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Ok,you're all right,pictures are ****,but the only camera I had available atm was my Desire,so you can understand! :)

Anyway,will take better ones and upload them.Until then,if someone wants to search for the problem,it is a lit scratch-like thing on the upper left corner of the screen's black surrounding!
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Well,his hand was in pain for two days and his head for like 5 minutes(second was obviously my work! :D ),so that's punishment enough I think! :)

Btw,to avoid misunderstandings,the punch hit the phone's back,probably around the speaker(can't be sure about that though),not the screen(which appears very sturdy btw,doesn't need protection).
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Well,these shots are taken with my sister's Lumix,I circled the wtf and now I hope you can see it without problems! :)

Thanks for your replies guys! :)
[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
It looks like the screen got loose from the main body of the phone a bit. Speaker is less or more on tho opposite side of that place. My best suggestion is it got ''loose'? Not sure if it's the right word. I doubt it's possible to fix it anywhere except at HTC service center man.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I think its the black finish inside is slightly off. I also think I have the same thing but never noticed it till I compared my display to your pics. Honestly, it does not look like a problem.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] archie_658:
Weird, I had such a problem with my Galaxy S, which has Gorilla glass. It started small, but grew little by little. It even cornered! When you pressed the glass, it became clearer, indicating it was on the inner side of the phone.

My guess: some sort of cutting of the black mask damaged the surface and weakened it.

So I' ve bought a DHD and sent the SGS back for repair under warranty.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Well...Holy ****!I can't part with my DHD!Isn't it just better than everything else? :D

Fun aside,I think I'll leave it as is for now and sent it for warranty repair when I root it(so titanium backup saves everything for me :D ) or,even better,when I buy a new one.That is,unless it expands and becomes a problem!

Anyway,many thanks guys! :)
[Desire HD General] lalgeri1:
I've the same problem guys. :-(

I think all the Desire HD have the same problem, and then I don't think it can be solved.

So we will have to live with that "wtf" ...

P.S : I'm in France.

You should replace it if you can.
