[Xperia Arc General] ooidort:
When looking at the screenshots of the UI and such I just can't get past the feeling that we X10 users should see the same improvements and tweaks as the Arc. I don't want to turn this into another SE-hatethread, but it just feels wrong. This being my first Android, and smartphone in general, I feel a bit disappointed. But well, I guess you get what you buy.
[Xperia Arc General] caifanX10:
People who are getting it should be rich to spend a lot of money each 10 months SE releases a successor of their trend phone!

Unfortunately, I'm not rich :( but besides that, I rather to wait at least one and a half year to get a new phone. I wonder how advanced the smartphones will be by then, and what place the Xperia Arc will have in that time.

Oh, wait... It's gonna be obsolete 'cause it's gonna have a successor already in January 2012!

:D

Seriously, Im not flaming... But I just wish good look to you guys with arc. Hope that SE doesn't do the same mistakes and gives to arc good updates, at least two Android upgrades and more time before replaces it with a new phone.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
So it is compatible with AT&T 3G network then, ha?
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
+1. No doubt it's a really nice phone, but as every other X10 owner knows they dropped the ball with this one, so I'm in no rush to go upgrade just yet.
[Xperia Arc General] chiefy009:
We have all complained about the first SE android phone the x10, but if we are honest may of us will be upgrading to this baby when our contracts are up.

Lets not forgot SE's first go at the android market, the x10, has not been a bad attempt. If we are honest we all knew that they would not support it for long as they would move on very quickly to the put all they learnt into the next big hope.

And this phone is gorgeous I can quite happy to have the rubbish support, poor customer service and all the other mistakes se made because this phone looks damn good.

While XDA is around if we are honest we couldnt care less about se support as we have this place and it caters for all we need,
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
I highly doubt many of us will be upgrading to the Arc. From what I've been reading, many existing X10 customers who would frequent forums like this or blog/tweet about their phones (ie: those somewhat more advanced users) have already told SE to go forth an multiply.

Looks aren't everything. Sure, SE makes good looking phones, but what good is that when they saddle the usability with crapware and poor support. It's like having a Porsche with a 150hp engine, what's the point. Besides, if you keep your phone protected by any sort of case or skin, the looks don't matter much when they're covered up. If we wanted something pretty and useless with poor support, we'd by an iPhone.

I love XDA and all the hard work people here have put into improving the X10. But that doesn't excuse SE form having to support their own customers.

On a related note: I have requested with mikechannon that a Xperia Arc forum be setup so that the X10 forum can be kept to X10 discussion.
[Xperia Arc General] Lancez:
looks like a world phone, but still no words from AT&T yet.
[Xperia Arc General] caifanX10:
This is definitely a killer point.
[Xperia Arc General] morox:
I am one of those who never is going tio buy SE in my whole life, if it depends on me. Its very funny situation. no one has commented that except for the wifi n and the screen it has the same specifications as my x10.....and my x10 is not going tio have gingerbread update....

So you know, go ahead get latest SE thing and get once more outdated the first. Is there in the market any snapdragon stuck in ecclair??? oh yes my x10...

So the next year I am pretty sure if I read one topic of this "new" phone it will be about some update not being ported to arch, although it is capable of this and more.

I think no one should buy a new SE handset, till they change their customer policy. But I know it is an entellechia...
[Xperia Arc General] Lancez:
X10 dose not have snapdragon ;) Sony was once a industry leader, x10 was first attempt into android world, give them sometime.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
+1. Agree with what you said. If they screw up the upcoming handsets, then they have no excuse and they probably go under. I am sure the execs at Sony understand that full well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmarks:
Good morning all,

I have an i9000 here in Ireland (I assume the UK model).

It was running JPY through the Kies fix but I fancied a change so I used SGS flasher application to flash the Voodoo Advanced (v666) in order to get Clockwork recovery so I could flash other ROMS.

Now all my phone does is sit at the black screen with a red android and the words VOODOO ADVANCED underneath. I left it all night but no difference.

I can't get into recovery mode using the 3 button combo - what can I do?????

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcaddick:
Hi all,

I'm running SpeedMod Kernel and stock Froyo 2.2.1. I did have Darky's ROM installed, but I've reset all caches, reformatted all things reformattable and reinstalled stock firmware (though not stock kernel... where does one find that!?).

Anyhow, the issue is (and I've done 5 factory resets so far, same problem each time) that when I set up my Google account, the phone endlessly syncs the calendar (little icon displayed on task bar and icon next to calendar in sync settings rotating). If you try to open the calendar app itself the entire phone hangs and you have to force restart. Also if I leave it for a while and come back it has frozen and needs to be forced to restart. It never stops syncing the calendar...

Has anyone encountered this problem and/or has a solution.

On a possibly related note, some of my appointments in Google Calendar have disappeared... did the phone delete them in it's mental sync antics?

This is really starting to annoy me...!

Thanks for your help!

PS. I have also tried clearing the data in the Calendar and related sync apps in app manager. Can it be that I have so much Google Calendar data to sync? It's been syncing on wifi for over 3 hours now... but Calendar app shows 0 kb, Calendar data shows about 300 kb and Calendar sync helper things shows 200 kb or so....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcaddick:
UPDATE: I've seen others on other forums having this trouble, even without mucking about with firmwares. Their suggested (and often successful) solution was to clear all caches and data and take the battery out for some time to let things discharge. I've done this... and the problem persists. Does anyone know if you can contact Google and have them look at the server side to see if something has snarled up there?

Any help appreciated!

QUESTION 1

Well.. My SD card suddenly broke. The settings show that it is unavailable.. and when I connect the usb cable, there is no "Disk drive" option listed in the connection type, and it is not recognized by my PC!

I only removed it once when I first bought it two weeks ago!

In some posts, I read that it is probably broken.. Isn't there any way to get it working? or at least retrieve my files?

QUESTION 2

Anyways, I have another microSD card from my other cell phone (8GB).. It worked when I inserted it. I figured I need to re-root it! So I installed VISSIONary by following this guide, but the temproot and permroot do not seem to have any effect (permroot requested superuser permission but nothing else happened.. no reboot!).

Do I need to root this SD card? Or is the root only required once during the stock ROM?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
All your questions have been asked and answered several times. Please use the search function.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seawaves:
You are right. I found few posts about the corrupted SD card before I posted a new thread. And as I mentioned in my first post, they all indicate that the SD is dead and should be replaced. I was just looking for some hope for it to be repaired.

Regarding my second question, I did not find any information about rooting a replacement SD card nor the solution of the unresponsive visionary+ (in case I do have to root it) the answer. If you had more luck (or skill!) stumbling upon the answer or if you know the solution. Please make your post more helpful and you will be much appreciated!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexluckett:
Hi there :)!

What do you mean by "root" the SD card? You root the phone, not the sd card!

If you've already rooted your phone, there's no need to try and root it again - unless you've removed it or wiped the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
Ok, let me guess;

You have a stock rom, probably whatsapp & astro and probably 100% certain: you installed the OTA update about 1 day - 1,5 week ago....

I have spoken with HTC and have setup a specific topic on the SD card on another forum.

HTC has confirmed to me that with the latest OTA update they have seen reported isues including corrupted sd cards.

Lots of users are reporting broken sd cards after the latest (1.72) OTA update.

You can log this with HTC and it is likely they will replace your sd card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kintaro:
Well i've been doing a bunch of stuff to my phone to get things humming along, but the one thing that hasn't worked at all is Bluetooth Voice Command Dialer.

I've tried the native bluetooth voice command dialer, and the following apps below:

Vlingo Virtual Assistant

Choice Dialer

Bow Tie

The bluetooth handsfree that i am using is the Samsung WEP200 and I own 3 of them and all 3 of them don't work.

When i mean don't work, i hit the command button and it would prompt with the "Bluetooth Voice Dialler" prompt and I try to speak but nothing is happening. The audio routes to the bluetooth, but i suspect the mic isn't.

Bluetooth calls and call last caller works, but that is it as it is basic bluetooth capabilities.

So at the moment I am stumped and wondering if anyone out there got it to work and what your handsfree is.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSFT:
I have noticed the same problem. Is your phone a Rogers Captivate using Kies to update or it's an ATT Captivate using Odin to flash rom?

I have i897 AT&T and Odin flash and I notice this issue. When I was on the Rogers ROM 2.1, my bluetooth wouldn't pair. Now on 2.2, I can pair and call using BT, but voice dialler doesn't seem to have the mic on...

I tried bluetooth mic tester app and it didn't record anything via bluetooth.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kintaro:
I'm using the Rogers Froyo over Kies. It took me forever to install it since i had to repair my nv_data.bin.

This problem plagued me from Cognition 2.3b8 as well. To date I haven't had a Froyo install that worked with Bluetooth Voice Command Dialer.

If anyone out there that had the bluetooth voice command dialer to work on their captivate I'm all ears. I am thinking maybe it is because my Samsung WEP-200 is too old?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSFT:
BTW, I'm using Jawbone Prime.

I also tried other apps vlingo and all those none seem to be able to capture mic from BT when voice dialing. I can have voice conversations using my BT, but no voice dial. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kintaro:
Well I think it might be a general issue with Froyo and Samsung Captivate in general, regardless of Froyo custom builds. If someone else has it working on a specific ROM i am all ears.

Later tomorrow I will contact Samsung Support and ask them about this, because this is really stupid.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
Just wonderful. Well, I hope that's not your true official Froyo. If so, Samsung is just killing me. I've been running I9000 Froyo ROMs because the first nor second Cappy Froyo leaks don't have this functionality. This is the one function I want Froyo for more than anything else. I hate to say this, but my iPhone 3GS worked perfectly (you know what that means: I could voice dial over Bluetooth, but the call wouldn't stay connected!!). I just hope this is not an indication that Froyo for Cappy - if it ever is released - will not have this functionality. It just keeps getting better with these guys. :mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSFT:
Any updates from Samsung?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kintaro:
well i called samsung social hub support. Their official answer it isn't even a feature of the phone. Also they are aware that the bluetooth voice command dialer is broken on the phone and isn't supported.

I've requested they have it as a potential feature in the future as it is bylaw in some provinces and states that people use bluetooth voice command dialer.

Well this only puts one more nail in for samsung...

Also this could be related because of their stupid bluetooth stack, but there isn't much more I can find on this. :(

I hope this information is helpful to those looking around.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I've had it successful on two or three different ROMS. But I can't remember which for sure.

I think it worked on one of the Perception ROMS; It doesn't come on Assonance ROMS.

Something that I have done on ROMS that don't come with the Voice Dialer, I use Blue Tooth LAunche. I'm using it now on Assonance 5.2 You can configure it for what you want it to connect to.

It may take a bit of experimentation on how to configure it. When you go into the list of apps to configure, it lists all the various activities of the apps, and you need to select the right one. For example, to bring up Google Voice Search, I have it using com.google.androd.voicesearch.recognitionactivity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxster:
Google Voice Dial

I had the same issues on Assonance 5.2. What I did was take the voicedialer.apk from Perception 9.5 and installed - that worked for me.

I have attached the apk for you, I can't for the life of me remember how I had to install it though. :(

I had a lot of dropped calls on Assonance and didn't realize at the time that I could just update the modem - live and learn I guess.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I just downloaded the voice dialer.

I actually have it at home, but not sure if same version. I tried to install it on one of the ROMS (I think Assonance) and was unsuccessful. I probably tried using Root Explorer. I don't think I tried just dropping it in the Apps folder. But not sure.

I'm installing Cognition 3 as I write this. We'll see how things go on that.

I think if we wanted to use the native bluetooth voice dialer we need to update some system libraries and also the apk file. Thoughts?

I am hopping that when the AT&T update happens we may be able to get the files we need to get the Rogers version working...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSFT:
I also tried with the VoiceDialer.apk provided in this thread and no luck. Also tried the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk and no luck.

I do agree that there is some system libraries that need to be updated, since there are claims that 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk worked with others.

Since we can have conversations with our bluetooth, it's not an hardware issue. It's something with software.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortionist:
Same issue here with rogers captivate.. I deleted the dialer to see what happens, and the button on my headset now did nothing, but if i held it in, it would call the last number dialed. I flashed it back to factory and got my app back, and the button brought up the bluetooth dialer again, but it doesnt work. And now pressing and holding calls voice mail again.

I wish they had a settings section to assign the button presses to applications without 3rd party apps.

I hate how rogers and samsung are washing their hands of the issue. they wont take the phone back. Its illegal here to use my phone while driving. I got the phone on the 11th. I am still waiting for the accessories I bought to arrive, everything from a desk dock to car dock, spare battery.. all OEM.

If they don't get this right, I wont be buying more products from them.

I have more faith in you guys finding a solution than them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squarejp:
Same problem and I think NONE of the Bluetooth mic works on Voice Command on Froyo roms for my Captive. I've tried the AT&T leaked Rom and also the Cognition 3.04, NONE of them support Bluetooth voice dialing but no problem for normal phone conversation. Now that is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!

Just wanted to pipe in that I'm in the same boat and pretty mad at sumsung/rogers for not including bluetooth voice dialing! Is this 2011 or what?

I just bought some very expensive bluetooth headsets for my motorcycle and now find out that my brand new "state of the art" phone can't voice dial with them?

Hopefully someone figures this out. I'm counting on someone being way smarter than I am with this stuff :)

Man, after having this phone for 6 weeks now I'm starting to wonder why I switched from my WinMo phone. For all the hype of Android and the criticism of WinMo, there are a number of things, like voice dialing over BT, that just plain worked on my HTC Tilt 2. And I'm finding that WinMo was a lot more customizable (and a lot easier to work with) than what Android allows me to do. If it weren't for the gorgeous screen and capacitive touchscreen I would go back to my Tilt 2 and sell this POS Samsung device.:mad:

Bluetooth Voice Dialing has worked on every i9000 rom and on Firefly and Andromeda.

The voice dialer apk has to be put into the system/app folder using root explorer or similiar.

To enable voice prompts ("Say a command", "Calling NAME") you have to install the Voice Synthesis app for your language from the market.

I've got Choice Dialer, and am having horrible luck with it. Just doesn't understand me most of the time. I wrote up a little review on it over in APPS. Not many replies. I decided nobody wsa using it.

If only it could be accurate.

I have found NOTHING that is anywhere near as good as MS voice Command. Very disappointing.

I'm on Serindipity,which is i9000 based, and can get any of them to work.

If not wanting to use an i9000 rom, I don't see why people don't just use the Blue Tooth Launch referenced in the earlier post. Makes it work fine.

But again, none of them are very good understanding. But everything out there is better than Choice Dialer. At least, that's my experience.

I have been on perception since the beginning of it and tried out every version. Not sure when/which version it started to work but I KNOW FOR A FACT I use it daily with my stereo bluetooth headphones from plantronics. Before that I was using a $15 jawbone that also worked (from walmart) just didn't also play the music and pause on incoming calls. So try out Perception 10.2 (or 10.3) and it SHOULD WORK. You can see my signature is what I know works, I have also swapped out the kernels back and forth from glitterballs, firebird, and testing another now. All have had the bluetooth work with voice. Commands. Like stated earlier it sometimes does get the name wrong, like when I call the wife Kathy on mobile or girlfriend Cathy on mobile haha j/k and just an example. Should solve all those issues. Basically my setup now is the same as 10.3 since I had already been using the ugjl2 modem for a long while now.

I got Samsung Galaxy S Captivate from Rogers store as hardware upgrade on Saturday. The main reason I am upgrading is that my Iphone 3G does not has voice dialing capability and it does not work with my Blueant S4.

I asked the store guy if Galaxy voice dialing compatible and he confirmed it by saying that it was running android 2.2.

I brought phone home and power it and found out that it was still on anroid 2.1.

So I upgraded it to version 2.2 for Rogers phone. But to my utter dismay, voice dialing still does not work. The voice dialer in the phone does not understand even a single word.

I will appreciate your help to resolve this issue otherwiase I will have to return this phone because voice dialing is very important for hand free calling in the car.
