Just wanted to say hi, I registered not too long ago and have been reading for a few weeks. Still have soo much to learn. I just got a G2 to use on Wind Mobile. My goal is to root it when I've learned enough from the information on here. This site is like an android Bible to me, thanks guys
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevencpoynter:
Welcome!

Excellent choice of phone btw, this is a very good forum and there are a lot of bright people here. As always, and i'm assuming you know, the search button is your best friend! The G2 has come a long way from it's root kit days (looolool) and i'm sure it's ride of fame wont end for a while.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Raaert:
Hi All,

I've recently flashed a Nordic x10 mini pro android 2.1 rom, and apparently it was swedish - so here i am, stuck using my physical keyboard with swedish layout..

How can i change this?

I tried changing the following code in the /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml: "<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-se-fi" />" to "<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-no-dk" />"

(no-dk = norway/denmark)

But it doesnt work, im not getting any changes at all.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Raaert:

Sony Ericsson and ANT+ equals fitness with Xperia™ arc

[YOUTUBE]ZyBd4yY1KPs[/YOUTUBE]

Marcus Hansson explains more about ANT+.

Source: The Sony Ericsson Blog.

As said in the video, "… and X8 will have this enabled in the forthcoming software upgrade in Q1 2011"

Could this be part of an Android upgrade? Or do they by "software upgrade" refer to apps? Either way, it's a cool feature.
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
We need 2.3 for that so we will get android update.

I think because this writing in SE blog.

Yeeeee they are chance that we will get 2.3 but when?
[XPERIA X8 General] racht:
Who cares .. it's completely useless and sony will not deliver froyo on their phones.

Anyone still owning xperia, google "ZTE Blade" :

1. unlocked bootloader

2. froyo and custom roms

3. amoled screen

4. costs $100

Oh, and the best one :

5. NOT MADE BY Erics****!

no froyo for Xperia!
[XPERIA X8 General] OCEP:
Do you mean that Ant+ requires Android 2.3 to run? Because of Xperia ARC, which uses 2.3 to run Ant+?
[XPERIA X8 General] OCEP:
Lolz. We don't even have ZTE Blade where I live. :)

Hopefully this "software upgrade" will have to include an Android update, too.

Btw, Xperia users, join this community on Facebook:

"Petition: Android 2.2 (Froyo) for Sony Ericsson Xperia series"
[XPERIA X8 General] OCEP:
I would like to highlight that all the news regarding the discontinuance of Froyo (Android 2.2) is related to the

X10 FAMILY

and

X10 HANDSETS

.

X8 does not belong to this family or these handsets, does it? Furthermore, the upcoming ANT+ feature will come to X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 - SE again, specifically, omitted the X10! The ANT+ feature will become available through a "software upgrade"!

They are either being unclear about the way they announce things or they are being VERY specific.
[XPERIA X8 General] timk1764:
The x8 DOES belong to the x10 family, its seen as the mid size/range x10... if you bothered to read the first line from the article linked above about an official announcement from SE UK, you'd see yourself...

They'll do an update to 2.1 to make this ANT+ feature work, they wouldn't announce no further updates past 2.1, but secretly be developing 2.2 etc for the x10 family of handsets, its bad for business if they do...
[XPERIA X8 General] kiz1983:
We wont b getting 2.2 or 2.3 whatsoever, juz an update in the future n we will still on 2.1..

Accept the truth my frens, we will stuck on 2.1 forever.. Thts it, no more SE phones for me..
[XPERIA X8 General] ngyuenvu:
Yeah, SE confirm no more update new FW for X10 family and no hope for X8, epic fail....
[XPERIA X8 General] WARR10r:
we arent stuck. sometime someone will crack ****ed se loader and we will get froyo..

p.s. i think there wont be gingerbread coz it will run too slow.. recomended hardware is 1GHz cpu..
[XPERIA X8 General] OCEP:
I haven't seen/been able to dig up any information directly from Sony Ericsson that mentions the X8. It only seems to be mentioned in the article you refer to.

Regardless of that … If the X8 is considered part of the X10 family then we are truly screwed. :(

However, I am curious regarding the Ant+ feature. Why did they omit the X10 specifically in their announcement? I find it odd that the X10 - supposedly - doesn't support the hardware for Ant+ but the X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 does.
[XPERIA X8 General] mohsin01:

[XPERIA X8 General] propc:
SE don't want to update their current android phones because of marketing.

people will have to buy xperia arc to get android 2.3. good for their bussiness. this is how it's work.
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Here what i think.

Many people has buyed many xperia smartphones but the xperia arc isnt like other xperia phones because they are cheap but xperia arc isnt.

What happen to us that will scare customers to so maybe they give update.

MAYBE!

Here is my problem

I am using stock HTC desire Stock ROM (rooted) . Still yesterday I was using built-in Music player (customized by HTC) and everything was working perfectly. I mostly use headphones to listen to songs ( with next/prev/pause from it)

Today I installed the new app Android Music (claimed to be from AOSP 2.3 build) and after installed I realized that it doesn't have lock screen control and headphones control and i uninstalled it.

Now my headphone controls are not working with default Music player. Is there any way that I can get it back ?

Thanks,

UKanth

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgs327:
I had a similar issue. Just uninstalled cubed and that fixed it. May be an issue with having more than one music player trying to use the headphone controls in their own way.

[Omnia 7 General] mazinya:
1. I read somewhere that FM radio on the Omnia can be heard only on the loud speaker and not through the phone headset. Is that correct?

2. Does it support divx format or will i have to encode it to other formats?

3. How is the transfer files to the phone works? is it drag&drop? or is it going to be something like apple and itunes crap?

4. Is there a way to get the Omnia 16gb in Germany unlocked and unbranded?

5. Is there an option to change menu language? (its important is i buy it abroad and its not in English)

Thanks
[Omnia 7 General] VonCrisp:
Hi Mazinya,

I can only answer some of the questions you have asked. I have bought a german 16gb Omnia 7.

1. Dont know. Havent used it yet but I very much doubt that you would only hear the radio through the speakers :P

2. I tried hard to get MS attention on this matter. It supports xvid but does not support the AVI container. Only mp4. Zune software does the converting and it is pretty quick. Please note that the Zune HD was able to support avi containers and this feature might be enabled in the future (dont hold your breath)

3. WP7 is not a traditional "USB" device. Meaning that you sync your music, pics and movies with Zune player.

There is a hack to enable your phone to act as a usb drive, but for this to work you will still need the Zune player on your pc.

4. I have tried hard to find an Omnia 7 16gb without any branding. The only devices on the market in germany are the T-Mobile devices but they are not locked!!! There is no hardware branding. There is a quick software branding at the start (2 secs) and some t-mobile apps which can all be removed.

If you do not like this there is a new firmware on the Omnia 7 developer forum which removes all of this. I would advise keeping the current rom since it allows for 2g to 3g switching. But that is up to your taste and requirements.

5. Yes you can change the language when you boot the phone
[Omnia 7 General] mazinya:
Hi VonCrisp, thanks for the answers!

Wow, i didnt think MS will act like apple. I dont even have zune player

about the radio.. i know it sounds weird but i think i read on a phone review so they must have checked it before writing that, thats why i was also surprised.. since you have it, can you try listening to some FM radio and let me know if thats true?

Did you buy your phone in Germany? was it in a store or did you buy it online?
[Omnia 7 General] VonCrisp:
No problem!

I have just checked the radio and it plays just fine through my headphones ;D.

(maybe they had a prototype?!)

The Zune player isnt too bad. I would personally say that it is x100 better then iTunes since it isnt full of bloat and works fairly well.

Depending on which country you are in you might have the issue of it not downloading Biography and background music for the albums/artists that you have. (But this will be fixed etc) Currently having a US hotmail/live account allows for the full "Zune" experience but it will be hard to access the marketplace if you don't have a US credit card!

This might be a bit too much info for you since you seem to be still deciding on whether you want to purchase the device. I don't know which country you are in but I would strongly recommend the Omnia 7.

The overall experience is just wonderful. The screen does the device justice.

I bought mine through an Online shop. But I know that T-Mobile sells the device in stores for around 550 Euros. There is a good site to compare prices and the lowest I found was around 480 Euros.

[Omnia 7 General] mazinya:
My german is pretty crap..I cant understand which is branded and which is not. Does the store you bought it from is on this list in the link you gave me?

Im from Israel btw, so i would need it to ship worldwide also
[Omnia 7 General] BIG-Stan:
They are all t-mobile branded in Germany...

T-mobile is also (officially) exclusive retailer here.
[Omnia 7 General] mazinya:
Ok, but i would need one that is simfree
[Omnia 7 General] VonCrisp:
They are all sim free. I am afraid you will have to look at the pages and call them up! Most retail shops speak some form of english! :)
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
1. I read somewhere that FM radio on the Omnia can be heard only on the loud speaker and not through the phone headset. Is that correct?

No. It works on your head set.

The wire from the head set also works as antenna.

2. Does it support divx format or will i have to encode it to other formats?

Tricky question.

Short: NO.

No DivX/XviD video support (automatic trans-coding provided by Zune software)

So NO DivX/XviD video support.

Long: Yes.

- GPU acceleration with DirectX 9 support and video acceleration too - Windows Phone 7 will have native support for DivX versions 4, 5 and 6. The H.264 codec will of course also be supported, up to High Profile (the one used in Blu-ray and DVB digital TV).

3. How is the transfer files to the phone works? is it drag&drop? or is it going to be something like apple and itunes crap?

You must read a LOT about the cloud concept. Or you will hate your phone a lot.

(No file support at the time and no drag and drop. )

( Yes - via zune and supported files only.)

5. Is there an option to change menu language? (its important is i buy it abroad and its not in English)

Yes.
[Omnia 7 General] VonCrisp:
Do you know if they will enable avi container support on the phone?
[Omnia 7 General] Mod74:
Hi,

Sorry to semi hijack this thread but I have an Omnia question.

It's the phone I want, but as I'm still on O2 UK for another year I was wondering if anyone who has one or has kept up with the scene can tell me if it's possible to unlock it to use an O2 UK SIM?

I've found several second hand ones on eBay in my price range, they are listed as T-Mobile and Orange (UK).

Does the Chevron hack enable SIM unlock? I'd read that it does but don't want to waste my money. Long shot but does updating an unlocked phone reactivate the lock?

Thanks.
[Omnia 7 General] Casey_boy:
No, the Chevron hack does not enable this.

I haven't heard of a free way to disable the SIM lock - you have to pay ~£15 to get it unlocked from a phone unlocking service. You can then flash a stock ROM which removes the operator's customisations.

No, updating your phone will not reactivate a SIM lock (I know because I've done it).

I am running dj05, superclean 0.9, and stupidfast 12/19. When I try to add an email attacment I get a FC. This doesn't happen in the gmail app, just native email. I've tried fixing permissions and other kernels, no luck. Should I try a new ROM. If so any suggestions?
[Fascinate General] onionz:
no tips anyone? Did I not post enough info?
[Fascinate General] FDro:
It got mentioned before but it was ignored.
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
Try deleting the email apk with File Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium, or whatever you use. Then go to Rom Manager, Download Rom, sonofskywalker, and flash the email.apk from there (I think it is under stock apps or something like that). If that doesn't work, I would try sonofskywalker's newest ROM.

BTW: I have not seen this issue before. Mine seems to be working fine (I usually send attachments with gmail). It may simply be a corrupted apk ..... not sure.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
You could also try a different kernel. There were several reports of problems with the last few kernel's that geeknik released. Not sure why the kernel would cause a problem, but if nothing else works, it'd be worth a shot.
[Fascinate General] onionz:
@benbowden

Thanks for the tip. The reinstall didn't help the problem but you taught me a valuable technique. I'm off to try a new rom as new kernels didn't help. At least the ones I tried.

[Surround General] skillz9669:
I had purchased a surround on launch day and within a few days every now and then nobody could hear me. I thought it was a fluke or sim issue but have since ruled this out. Has anyone else had this issue. I also had it replaced and about the same amount of time. About a week or so and now its almost every phone call unless I reboot, which allows it to work a few times before coming back, so I know its not hardware. Should I switch to another device, eg: the lg quantum, or is there a fix Im not aware of?? I love the surround but I have missed some really important phone calls because of this. I will also note my buddy had her surround replaced for same exact reason and she bought hers at a different store all together.
[Surround General] teoami:
What?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I am going to lean towards a bad manufacture batch. I've had my surround since launch and haven't experienced this issue at all.

When you had it replaced, did you do it at the store you bought it from? Try having ATT ship you a new one. This would pretty much ensure that it's not from the same batch.
[Surround General] skillz9669:
i did have it shipped for the replacement and still a no go. I rebooted yesterday and have not had the problem again yet but it is getting truly annoying. Hopefully its just something that goes away as I love my surround
[Surround General] cdub66:
I had this issue once, after about 3 weeks with the phone. Re-booted, and it's been good since (another couple weeks).

Hopefully an isolated incident. :)
[Surround General] barambulli:
I think I am having the same problem.

It started a couple of days ago.

This is what I am experiencing:

When I make a call, the other side cannot hear me, but I can hear them. Most of the time when I terminate the call, and redial, it works; they can hear me. Some times it takes more than one redial to get it working.

Today I made a discovery; during a call, when they cannot hear me, I plug-in the earphones and voila: they can hear me. The funny thing is that even if I unplug the headphones, the microphones work.

Has anybody else tried this?
[Surround General] barambulli:
Nobody??????
[Surround General] vel0city1:
I've had this happen once or twice. It took a complete reboot for the mic to start working again each time. I checked with a decibel meter app and it reported -1dB from the mic while I was having the problem.

I've had that phone replaced since then and I haven't had that on this new one.
[Surround General] snailium:
I've experienced this problem twice. For both times, battery went critical low while I was calling. And I was not able to get microphone working again until I reset the phone.

I'm not sure if the "battery is critical low" causes this problem.
[Surround General] tcnoller:
I've had the same issues with my Surround a couple of times, a reboot always corrects it. My brother just got a Surround last week, and has already had it happen once, a reboot fixed his too.
