[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
My phone powers down while plugged in just fine. I just checked for you.

It takes about 30 seconds of the spinning shutting down message, then the screen switches to the battery charge icon for a few seconds, then the screen goes black.

A quick press (don't hold) of the power button brings back the battery charge icon for another 10 seconds or so.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predation:
Thanks for the reply. What is weird is that I tried the test at my local best and their demo phone was exhibiting the same thing. Maybe I'm not letting it shut down long enough.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predation:
okay, i've powered down again while charging. stuck on power down screen.

been over 2 min.

looks like i'm replacing this today.

:(

anyone else want to chime in on this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Since you're going to have to do a factory wipe/reset for privacy/security to exchange the phone anyways, can I suggest that before you assume the phone is bad that you perform a factory reset on it and then test again?

For all we know, you've got some rogue app that is causing the problem. I'd hate to see the NS returned as bad hardware when it might possibly just be bad software you've installed...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predation:
exactly what i plan on doing. gonna do a factory reset first.

But i think it will still happen because the demo unit at bestbuy was a clean install with no apps on there.

But i will update as soon as i restore!

thanks distorted!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predation:
wanted to add that when i shut down the phone while it was usb connected to the comp, it shut down properly and i saw your battery icon you were mentioning.

edit:

now i tried other wall plugs, usb cords and such and it all shuts down.

very weird.

It looks like it was the micro usb charger that i was using that was the problem.

I was using one that came with my blutooth charger.

I double checked all the information of the BT plug and compared with the ones that worked. the bluetooth cable was rated a .7 amps (just like the one that came with the nexus s). other cables were rated at 1 amp (which shut down the phone fine).

oi! saved me the trip to best buy.

i tested before and after factory reset.

all good except for the BT charger.

:o
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadrockey:
I can confirm that this is an issue. I have a spare micro-usb cable, and when I connect that to the computer, it charges fine, but the usb-debugging or usb-drive options never appear.

While it's in this state, and I go to shut down, the Power off - Shutting Down... screen will in fact freeze until the USB cable is unplugged. It does not do this with the stock usb cable.

When this "bad" cable is used with the stock wall charger, the same thing happens.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predation:
Hmmm... I wonder what can be causing this. Anyone else have this happening?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadrockey:
My best guess is that maybe there's something different with the pins and they are shorting/not aligned right in some cables.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predation:
that is what im thinking.

at least i know my NS isn't defective!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasryan:
is there a way to install the sdk phone tools on xp? I have the 6.1v and visual studios 2010. But when i try to install it says i have to have win7 or vista, and i cant put win7 on machine cause it only has 128m ram. I have a patch file that is suppose to let ya install but haven figured out how to yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ren13B:
There are ways to get it installed but the emulator requires Directx 10 so that's not going to work. Without the emulator all you can do is write and compile code but not test to see if it works or not. Not very useful.

XP barely runs on 128mb of RAM so I imagine Visual Studio would be absolutely miserable to use if usable at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krjcook:
If you wanna develop for WP7 I guess its safe to say it time for an upgrade.

i would say so as well. even a netbook has more capabilities than that :P
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasryan:
Im not much of a developer in some ways so as for now all im wanting to do is use the toms installer or the reg sdk deployment tool witch i have but when i try to launch program i get this error:

Could not load file 'Microsoft Smart Device.Connectivity,10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its

dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Then when i try to install the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 windows phone from the WPDT_RTM_en_iso

i get this error: Microsoft xna game studio4.0 phone ex require visual 2010 or WPDT. install the required app and then relaunch setup. " witch i have the visual studio 2010 installed"

and i have a win7 netbook but have managed to have a kid that spilled tea on it so am trying to figure out the way to do this untill

i can afford to get another netbook.

Thanks for the help and replies guys, very appriciated!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasryan:
Ok so I got the xna game studio 4 to install but still getting the phone device connectivity error, is there something I can download to get by this and use the deployment
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasryan:
guess no solution huh
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
i don't believe so. the way i did it was to use a virtual machine so i could get the phone emulator working on an xp machine (virtual machine has windows 7 on it). but you don't have enough ram for that. you need at least 1.5gb dedicated to the virtual machine alone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasryan:
i finally found a iso file and downloaded it then opened up the baseline.dat file and edited it according to the patch settings and everything works just like it does on win7 netbook, just wanted to see if it was possible and it is!

Thanks for the replies.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazinga:
I finally got it to install on XP!

Here's what I did,

Download the .iso file (it's at the bottom of the page) :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce

After, make a new folder on your desktop and extract the ".iso" file into the folder.

Next, I grabbed the ".zip" file from here, : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9618980&postcount=81

Take the baseline.dat from the .zip file and replace it in the one with the extracted .iso files. Then just run setup.exe from the file. It should work! But make sure you have about 3 gb free from your hard drive. And emulator doesn't work, but I'm sure its fine if your not a developer.

Remember to hit the thanks button if it worked for you! :D

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] FCW:
Thats a very good point. I think the main issue will be the differences in hardware. Things like screen resolution and the camera. Chances are we would still be stuck with 2.1 but maybe we can make custom roms. If this is the case then all we need to do is crack the bootloader and start porting 2.2. If my experience with WM roms is anything to go by they'll be a group of phone specific files and the rest can be changed to match the build.

SONY should return our money back

I dont want to get stuck with X10(no Froyo or next versions) for SGD 1088/.

For the 1st time i m just pissed off with SONY :(
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
When did SE ever say they were updating beyond 2.1 when you bought your phone? They even told us that there was no multi-touch because of hardware constraints when we bought our phones, but they went out of their way to bring it to us anyways. We bought this device already behind the Android curve with 1.6, but now you expect it to have the newest version??? If you feel entitled to continuous updates, you must not have been around the past 20 years of the technology revolution. This is how it works. We have to pay for the research and development of new technology. If you don't want to buy something, just to have something better from the same manufacturer come out around the corner, then you either need to not buy anything or wait 10 years until the technology is not in its infant stage of development. The Xperia is nearing the end of its lifecycle, so this is to be expected. Did you complain to Microsoft when Windows 7 came out and you didn't get your pc upgraded for free?
[XPERIA X10 General] nekkidtruth:
Please stop spreading such silly quotes. The X10 was first shown in November of 2009. It was released in 2010 around March. It is nowhere near the end of it's life cycle. Besides, that's a horrible excuse on Sony's part.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
to start with, it is NOT Sony....it is Sony Ericsson. Completely different. Secondly, they never promised anything above 2.1. Thirdly, we are a very small part of the user base for the x10 handset. the vast majority of x10 users do not even know of xda developers let alone how to install the xrecovery menu or flash 2.2.1 beta onto their handset - let alone care. Sony Ericsson are all about selling handsets and appeasing the market.

we are **** out of luck.

For me, its time to leave SE behind and jump ship to a manufacturer that is actually interested in supporting the modding community, instead of one that actively tries to block it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ptesmoke:
ok, im sorry, im getting sick of these "I effin hate sony" threads.

so i am finally going to put my .02 in.

first of all, is this the only thing you have ever bought in your life? how many purchases do you make in a week that you can step back and say, man this is awesome im so glad i bought this, this will be perfect for years to come.

exactly, none, have you ever bought a phone/pda that was perfect that would last you forever? and if so why did you buy the X10 if you were so perfectly happy?

i just dont understand how people can buy a $500 device, that in all honesty DOES impress, and DOES what its supposed to do pretty god damned well, and still freakin complain that 9 months later theres better technology out there.....SHEESH! welcome to life people! you can never have the "best" of something for more than a week. there will always be something "better" or "newer".

so i just bought new tires for my dodge ram, they cost hella lot more than my x10, so i guess i should go to my local tire store again in 9 months and whine about how my 9 month old tires dont look brand new anymore right?

come on man seriously, if you think sony lied to you or you hate this device so bad, freakin sell it buy an ifail 4 and leave us the fack alone. because im sure im not the only one here who's getting sick of the same lame "eff sony!!" bullishhh.

I said it before...they said they would give us 2.x and they did...thats not good enough now people want 2.2/2.3. They shouldn't give us our money back because they have delivered what they said they would. They NEVER said we would get froyo or above. We will get some more updates for the X10 before it EOL. And if froyo or gingerbread are not part of it...im totally cool with that.

+1 to my fellow well spoken albertan
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
....

As a fellow Singaporean, I'm ashamed that you are making a fool out of yourself here.

Let me get this fact straight -

The initial promise to upgrade WAS because they could not churn out a 2.0 or higher OS and sold us 1.6 instead, so they had to promise us an upgrade.

Being said by an upgrade, there already were hints that it would be 2.1, despite the hordes of kids around the world whining and setting up petitions for 2.2.

This news was all over the net last year. A promised 2.1.

But after that, people got greedy and asked for further upgrades. There WERE lots of topics with people being delusional trying to give themselves hope about having further upgrades.

Some even went ahead and emailed Sony Ericsson, already with replies that "there are no plans of further upgrades" and such, but still, they still maintained in delusion.

you think your $1,088 can last them for 2 years? It's barely 1 month's worth of pay for 1 staff. If they don't come up with new phones with better OS to entice you to buy them, they might close down their company since you won't spend another $1,088 on them for the next 2 years.

If you want a solution to this, fine. Email to them and tell them you don't mind paying them for receiving upgrades. In this case, I'm sure they will churn out a 2.2 exclusively for you.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
What I don't get is, why do they have to feed us such bullsh*t about why we aren't getting any more android updates? There's no way they can claim that their ROM is better than vanilla 2.2. Sure, it has a few features that aren't found in stock 2.2, but there's a reason google released 2.2. And there is a reason more than 50% of the current android phones are running on 2.2. We, on the other hand, are stuck on a version of android that was announced before the phone launched. (or around the same time)

I have no problem with no further android os updates, since we can just flash 2.2 roms and soon 2.3. But please, don't give us that nonsense about 'no drastic change in user experience'. Let them admit that they are too lazy to go back and redo Timescape and Mediascape for 2.2 and I'll be happy.

Having said that, I was a happy X10 user until this morning. Now I just feel like an ass for defending my phone against all my friends who have already got 2.2 long ago on their phones and they taunt me with voice actions and flash

[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
wow, seriously.

everyone should know by now that any tech item you buy, is out dated a few weeks after it's released.

and WHAT IF SE miraculously gives us 2.2, or even 2.3? when 2.4 comes out, are we to complain again?

my x10 came free as an upgrade with my contract. it had 1.6, and att x10's still don't have a native 2.1 upgrade. but again, it's a free phone (yes, i understand that the phone is eventually paid for throughout the contract in some ways).

unless you plan on purchasing a new device every month, don't expect to always have something that is running the latest and greatest. SE would lose money and shut down if they put 100% of their time and effort into 1 device and not into developing new devices. you can't expect SE to update the phone for as long as you decide to keep it.

seriously, why in the hell couldn't commodore release a windows 7 upgrade for the commodore 64?

Ok. Thinking about asking you money back is really nonsense. However, if they intend to abandon us why not release the bootloader? Then we could fend for ourselves...
[XPERIA X10 General] drunken_m:
Hi!

Just my 2 cents: I understand, that technology is evolving with light speed (I'm a Linux SysAdmin, I see it daily :)). BUT! That does not mean that a phone has to have a 1 year lifespan. Nobody (except for the real fortunate) can spend 500 Euros every year on a new smartphone. Especially when it's not needed. The hardware of the X10 is still in the top (just look @ the Arc - almost same specs!). Just the software needs some caring now and then.

The service of SE regarding this phone ist really $h1t! They brought out the phone already with an outdated OS, moved the 2.1 time and time again... Remember? First it was end of September, then October, and the first official firmware came out early November. And there is still no official update for many many countries!

They only gave us excuses (if they gave us something). Their statements very vague at best, never 100% information about something. See Multitouch - many months of speculating if it's a HW or SW issue, what is the max. it can do, etc... And no official statment from SE saying yes or no.

I think the users really deserve a 2.2 (or even a 2.3) update. We all payed a small fortune for the phone, and a 1 year lifecycle for the software is just ridicoulus. (As I said before, the HW is just fine, not many phones have so good specs.)

I have no 500 Euros to buy a new phone just because of a .1 increase in the OS version.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
why should they? there is nothing at all wrong with the phone......

again dont get me wrong, i hate the way we have been treated but we are such a small segment of thier customer base and we are asking the phone to do things that SE never intended it to do.

these threads do nothing other than show how little some people understand product marketing. You would be better doing some programming/coding studying and attempting to crack the bootloader for our beloved x10!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] :
SE is causing all these outbursts..

I just need MT and Bootloader..they shud provide clear details..
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Whilst asking for a refund is pretty stupid, I am seriously irritated by SE on this.

The phone was released with an out dated OS, this I knew. It wasn't a problem as I assumed the products life would be a minimum 18 months and updates would come.

However, they were pretty slow releasing the update, it was out of date before we got it. Now no 2.2 update?

As for that stupid SE UK post about their 2.1 being superior in many ways to AOSP 2.2, that is plain retarded.

I am not that bothered about MT, but I have experienced 2.2 on this hardware and it is very good.

Personally I just feel like SE are pretty much ditching the product after less than a year, almost like the dev team has shrunk to 1 and been moved into a broom cupboard to 'try and iron a few bugs out', if they get the time.

I wish they would just give us access to the bootloader. We are a small minority of users and us using custom ROMs would not affect them, and also keep us happy.
