[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
Thank you for the reply. It is good to know Im not alone :)

In my case SEUS always says there is a newer version and flashes the phone. It goes all the way to the end and says the upgrading was successful.

Would it be possible that although the phone "accepts" being flashed, it is not actually writting anything to a persistent state?

Is there a way to verify if what I flashed is really there? Otherwise SEUS should way nothing to upgrade, since it already did it all the way through successful.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] movelbit:
easy question:

are you sure you have battery remaining to start it up and flash? if not, try to charge the battery on another phone. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
I guess so.

I'm using a multimeter to measure the power of the battery, which varies from 3.6 to 4.1 volts, depending on how long I leave it on the charger.

So although the phone gives no indication of being charged, I guess that measure is enough to say it is being charged, right?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SaintyUK:
I've even just tried Omnius Server, which flashed perfectly fine, but still the phone won't boot :( Its completely dead now
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
Yep. I also tried that. Wasted money..

So far no change.. the thing is still a brick.

.. well, a brick is at least heavy enough to actually deal some damage when thrown..

:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SaintyUK:
Hah :) Just getting it exchanged now - tried everything - given up!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] movelbit:
well, just in case you have it on warranty, go ahead :)

take it to the shop :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sanyyos:

stop wasting time and money... go to a GSM SERVICE... you need service tool to revive your phone if it's deadboot...

i use setool to flash sony-ericsson phones and it's the best flash tool...

if it's bootfcked, then you need jtag's...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
@sanyyous

setool will flash the phone just like SEUS or FlashTool will, right? or it will do some other kind of flashing witchery?

and jtag you mean hardware debug and service, right?

the issue is: I bought the phone in London and I'm in Brazil now. So either I fix or I see a trash bin in this little x10's fate.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
setool flashes the same way than my tool,but it has more tricks afterwards for some other things.

For me it sounds like :

1.) False USB-Port or Cable

2.) False nand

Please try to following:

Go into your car with a laptop and flashtool on it -> Start the engine and pull down the AC to the coldest state it can do.

hold your phone DIRECTLY with the battery in Front of the cold airstream.

Flash it now ;)

I have recovered a few dead phones so, the problem is that they get too hot and the nand shows errors while temporary placing the flashimages -> If so the loader rejects the image because of checksum fail.

-> Give it a try, if it don't work you have to send it to service.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
Man.. I will try as soon as I get home... and if it works.. expect a good donation.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SaintyUK:
Out of curiosity - did it work?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
I still couldnt try.

In Italy now. I'm going back to Brazil only Feb 3rd.

Meanwhile I'm trying to convince my gf that she couldnt break the phone even further for trying. Hopefully I'll lure her into doing it until this weekend.

Firgers crossed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
If this works, it's a miracle.

Maybe trying the fridge would have the same result, but all that ice could damage the phone :).

Good luck and I really want to know if it works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
Yeah, on the fridge the moisture would probably ruin the phone even further. .. if thats at all possible.

And believe me, no one would wanna see if it works more than me.

<girlfriend-apeal>

you see, everyone wants to know if that works. please, you wont ruin the phone further just by trying it :))

</girlfriend-apeal>
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
My wife's x10 is OK, so it would just be out of curiosity for me :).

Good luck.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioroger:
I got my gf to try but it didnt work :(

I'll try it myself when I get home next week, but I dont think thats gonna work..

Anyway, I drop by next week to comment on the final status.

Thanks for the replies so far.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blåburk:
If you still can repair it with SEUS (ie. SEUS recognize the phone install that Official Firmware)

Apparently you can't, just bring the phone to the store for a warranty repair...

About the Debugging mode:

I always have my X10 Mini in Debugging mode (Need it for EasyTether, it won't tether else)

I installed the latest Firmware (yesterday) in Debugging mode with SEUS.

If the X10 Mini still doesn't boot

Return it to the store and ask the for a warranty repair.

In a worse case scenario you might have to pay for the repair and shipping.

Still It seem like it's a common problem for SE phone. Had a similar problem with a M1i Aspen.

Might it be the bootloader that becomes corrupted?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] eiblew:
X10 mini Pro

is there another forum for this same topic for the X10 mini pro? I seem to have the same fate as the guys above. here's what I did:

- flashed my U20i using the SNG FW with Bin4ry's latest flash tool update. success

- used SEUS to update the phone to the latest firmware. success

it's still bricked though. its stuck on the SE boot screen, turns off, then loops again.

any help would be appreciated.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] eiblew:

Hi,

is the Debugging mode different from Flash mode? if so, how do you do it?

still stuck in the boot loop after flashing. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uros86:
Have you checked your imei number.? if it starts with 0044 it means that your phone is prototype and can be flashed only with prototype test firmwares.I have a problem like that. can`t find prototype firmwares for u20...any help?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
there was reports - some x10,e10 could not update to 2.x versions, even via official seus.

most probably, that problems can be found on u20 too.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Awesmazing:
I was just playing a game and was using my trackball for like the second time ever lol. Then I remembered that the aria has an optical trackball. I was curious to know how accurate the optics would be in terms of dpi and if the phone could somehow be utilized as an optical computer mouse. I know this wouldnt have very much practical use but I thought itd be really cool if it was possible. I do know of remote desktop apps that allow you to use the touchscreen to move your computer mouse, but this would just be a mouse, like maybe a computer program running simultaneously with a phone app to detect trackball movements and bimd them to the mouse... Idk, if anyone with programming knowhow could do it or even just explain whether or not its even possible, id settle for that. Let me know what you think.

Oh I just wanted to add that I figured if such an app was made it wouldnt do much good to use a mouse pad as the screen could be very prone to scratches but the trackball seems to respond very well to fabric surfaces as tested on my shirt and jeans :P so maybe it could be wireless and work great if youre in a bind or on a laptop, maybe volume buttons left/right click?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zamula:
Try RemoteDroid. You install a small java app on your pc, then use the app on the phone as a mouse and even keyboard. Not perfect, but much cheaper than buying a wireless mouse and keyboard.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Awesmazing:
Right... Well if you actually read my post I said I already knew about apps like that but they only let you use the touchscreen as a mouse. Im looking for something that specifically uses the optical trackball of the aria
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] barisahmet:
Why don't you just use TeamViewer? It does support trackball.

P.S: It's kinda useless btw. Trackball only moves right left up or down, so you cant move mouse for example upper-right direction.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Awesmazing:
Lol, well we're all almost at the point now... I guess I wasn't explicit enough, I KNOW about all the remote desktop apps and the like that are available right now. What I'm talking about is something completely new, where ALL THAT THE APP SUPPORTS is the use of the Aria as a mouse via the optical trackball...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] barisahmet:
Well i was just trying to help, no need to "shout" with capital letters in anger. By the way, you can't know ALL THE REMOTE ****ING DESKTOP APPS. Good luck on finding solution with that behaviour.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Awesmazing:
Was only using caps in place of italics, no ones angry, and yeah, trying all the remote desktop apps isn't too hard either, that's what search bars are for. Obviously, you still don't get the point either, I'm not looking for a SOLUTION, it was merely a question of curiosity. Maybe you should think before you get your righteous flaming panties in a bunch.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matt_b:
The short answer is no, because its impractical.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ra4013:
Can I Bluetooth connect to my playstation 3 and use my phone as a wireless keyboard
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] DarkFlasher:
I agree that it would be impractical but I suppose you could use the volume buttons as right and left click and have a semi accurate pointer with the track pad, if it even works like that at all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hgelpke:
A couple of months ago I bought the Seidio car dock and was quite pleased with it. After a couple of months of light usage, the dock has stopped charging my Evo. The phone still registers as car docked and the green light is on the dock but the phone will not charge. I've contacted their customer service department and unfortunately I have received only automated responses. Through my various replies, not once has it felt like a person is trying to help me. I've been given an RMA # to send it in but I have to pay for the shipping. I don't feel this is right since their product failed after I paid decent money for it. I guess I will send it back fro RMA but I'm now extremely discouraged going forward and ordering more accessories. I was really hoping to get the extended battery, but after this failure, I don't know how I feel about doing business with this company any longer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Nefariouss:
Most companies don't pay for shipping on an rma.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bleedscarlet:
that's an odd problem, are you sure that it's the car dock? Perhaps the socket isn't supplying enough voltage.

I have the extended battery, and while it's definitely not the 3500 mAh, I extrapolated their battery reporting against the actual battery measurements by an independent testing group and their batteries should rate at 2900-3000, and mine seems to register around there. I haven't tested the Ah of it but it definitely lasts a full day of heavy usage without much sweat.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hgelpke:
I can power my Evo through the USB port on the lighter adapter so I don't think it is a plug issue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stc1:
If your interested you can buy the Sprint extended battery ( 2600 mah ) rather than the seidio 3500. I have both and there is no real difference in performance for me. Its slightly thinner with two back covers, white and black. Rick

A lot of the guides aren't that well written, for people starting from scratch - I'm a reasonably techy guy but this is my first Android phone and I find very few of the guides at all comprehensible.

So saying 'read everything' is not at all helpful.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TheKorbenDallas:
Hello

I just purchased and installed a LauncherPro Plus on my myTouch 4G. The application is apparently incompatible with the standard dialer on this phone. I didn't use the non-Plus version of LauncherPro before, so I can't say whether this problem is specific to Plus version. So, here is what happens.

Firstly, let's take a look at how the standard dialer works under HTC Sense. I enter the dialer by hitting the receiver icon and I immediately see the following screen (see the attached picture #1). It shows my last dialed contact and has a "Enter name or number" prompt in the middle.

As I start dialing the number ("408" in this case) the "Enter name or number" prompt disappears, replaced with "408" and the top of the screen now contains the search results for the sequence I dialed so far (see the attached picture #2).

All works as it should.

Now, let's try using this standard dialer from LauncherPro Plus.

As I enter the dialer from LauncherPro Plus (by hitting the receiver icon) I right away get the following strange picture (see the attached picture #3).

Right from the start it doesn't look right. Note that there's no "Enter name or number" prompt. And instead of the last dialed contact I see some strange search results that includes all my contacts (I have 59 of them total) with pictures, but no names or numbers under the pictures.

Why does it happen? I could make a good guess: when you enter the standard dialer from LauncherPro, it immediately pre-dials some weird invisible character. This pre-dialed character makes the "Enter name or number" prompt disappear. And this pre-dialed character makes the dialer to perform the search for matching contacts. Since all 59 contacts got included into the search results, it must be some kind of "empty" characher (which is why it not visible on the dialer screen).

Another possible confirmation of that above theory is that I can actually delete that invisible pre-dialed character by hitting the "backspace" icon on the dialer screen. Once I do that, the sceeen changes to what you can see on the attached picture #4.

Note, that now the screen looks almost normal. The "Enter name or number" prompt is back. But the weird search results are still there.

Hitting the "backspace" does not really get the dialer back to normal. If I try dialing the phone number (the same "408") the dialer appears to act normally: each digit makes the expected dial tone sound and the search results change accordingly. However, the digits I dial are never displayed on the screen. The "Enter name or number" prompt now refuses to go away. See the attached picture #5 - it shows how my screen looks after dialing "408". The search worked fine, but digits "408" I dialed are not displayed.

So, again, I don't know whether the problem is specific to Plus version of LauncherPro, but in any case it is safe to say that the current version of LauncherPro Plus is not compatible with the standard dialer used in this phone.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jjlean:
Umm using the xda app most of these aren't showing... Weird

Only thing I can say its I use launcher pro plus and mine works.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TheKorbenDallas:
I tested another myTouch 4G with LauncherPro Plus and the behavior is the same as mine (will try to locate and test more phones).

Note that the dialer "works" in a sense that if you open dialer and dial a number, disregarding any user interface quirks - it will indeed successfully call that number. I.e. the physical dialing functionality is there, it is just the user interface and search functionality that's broken. For this reason, many people probably don't even notice that something is broken and believe their dialer "works". So "mine works" is not really a precise/useful description. I want mine to work under LauncherPro exactly as it worked under HTC Sense, including GUI, search and everything else.

Unfortunately, LauncherPro web site has been in ruins for a while, so I can't post it there.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] speoples20:
I've never had this issue. Not sure how LP could effect the dialer, since the only thing it effects is the home screen. Thats strange.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jester450:
No problems here. Can dial any numbers and it will start a search and display all the matching contacts. Also displays the number im dialing.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TheKorbenDallas:
Great, but that's not exactly what I'm talking about. Here's a link to my thread on LauncherPro forum

http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5884

Again, when you enter dialer from LauncherPro and just ignore the weirdness of the screen, i.e. just start dialing the number right away, then the dialer will appear to work fine: the numbers you dial appear on the screen and the search works properly. This is probably the reason many people don't notice something is wrong.

So, the weird things are only noticeable when you just entered the dialer, but haven't started dialing yet (no "Enter name or number" prompt, for example). Weird things also happen if you hit "backspace" right after entering the dialer.

I already had a chance to try this on three phones in person, and I also got several confirmations from other people that they observe exactly the behavior I described (some from different phones running LauncherPro Plus). One poster in that thread originally experienced an issue with entering first character of USSD codes under LauncherPro (I have a reason the believe that the issues are related).

I could be wrong, of course, but at this time I assume that [most] people who say that it "works" on their phones simply are not paying attention to the issues I described. As I said above, if you enter the dialer and just start dialing right away, it works fine. No surprise that some people might not even notice that something is amiss.

Again, if you are running LauncherPro Plus, please try the following:

1. Just enter the dialer. Do you see the "Enter the name or number" prompt? If you see it, they your phone appears to be OK. If you don't see it, proceed to step 2.

2. How hit the "backspace" icon on the screen. The "Enter the name or number" prompt should appear now.

3. Now try dialing a number. The number should dial, but the digits should not appear on the screen (the "Enter the name or number" prompt should just stay there).

Do you get this behavior on your phones? As I said, so far I only had a chance to physically try it on three phones, and all three reproduced the same broken behavior.
