multi touch was updated officially on the 20th right?

can anyone confirm that mediascape supports multi touch?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hush66:
I confirm that Mediascape does not support the released dual-touch update.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SomethingAwesome:
Works on my phone(at least in the picture viewer portion of mediascape). MT works in all apps that support it at all.

I'm currently running:

Firmware: 2.1-update-1

Baseband: 2.0.46

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build: 2.0.A.0.504 (MT update and fix(mt for all apps) with JIT enabled)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] juviman35:
i wonder when SE will show 2.2 after all
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DaHu4wA:
they OFFICIALLY said: NEVER
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ooidort:
Well, do you remember what they said about multi/dual-touch?

"NEVER" or something, my memory's kinda fuzzy... Though this time I'm rather sure that they really meant never as, well, never.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DaHu4wA:
Believe me, it will never appear.

They are going to release the Xperia ARC in q1 with gingerbread 2.3 and then nobody cares about the X10.

The X10-Roadmap ends with a UXP upgrade in January.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ooidort:
...I did agree with you, if that was unclear. :D Just saying that they also said "never" for the multi/dual-touch implementation, though doesn't necessarily mean anything.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frost866:
Guys I updated my phone thru SE today.This is actually a rom.the base band and the build number are different and also could root the phone with flash tools.

Screen shots.Also added the 2.2.11 market and some other stuff like Neo reader and post card which are not really usable.But i Confirm you can root the device,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CuBz90:
They did once say they may be able to get multi-touch working on the X10 tho, they have never said they may release 2.2.

It isn't going to happen, never ever will, end of story.

If they did I would prefer FreeX10 anyway, as SE 2.2 would have too much ****e on it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrHassell:
2.1.A.0.435 = poor perfromance

SE update service announced this a while back but ignored it until I got a dead ROM, which happened today while playing with Gingerbread 2.3.1 - TripNRaVeR v1.1 - since gone to 1.2 and with the sound / keyboard / wifi / sdcard fixes in place and working, highly recommend checking it..

EDIT: After flashing back to this standard ROM to look into MultiTouch further, found Multitouch is implemented in stock 2.1.A.0.435 ROM. Working with browser, docs, Angry Birds, Maps and more, not Navigation by default, investigating.

So there you have it - Multitouch is enabled on the 435 ROM. All other ROM versions can add it with the Dual Touch kernel mod and setting the xml file options / Build.prop etc.. takes 10 minutes and is worth it!

The new Mediascape has a Plus / Minus flexible icon that appears when you hold your finger on the picture, allowing you to zoom in and out, but not pinch :) ouch!

2.1.A.0.435 is the slowest ROM I've used. Linkpack score of 6.xx - totally lame app performance, constantly killing processes and I gave up using it within 2 hours, not even bothering to make an update.zip to return to xRecovery loading my preferred 2.0.2.A.0.24 with XGbread theme.

EDIT 2: Don't recommend downgrading from 2.3.1 to 2.1.A.0.435 ROM by Flashing with Update Service and then using xRecovery to attempt loading 2.1.A.0.24 - as this bricked my device and was forced to use the Update Service to go back to 2.1.A.0.435, which is where I am stuck right now - lol - this is because of the baseband version being so different you will always receive - No service - WiFi will crash repeatedly and basically you can't use it as a phone anymore.

Root via SuperOneClick - works! - Install BusyBox - works! - load xRecovery works!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] akila87:
Any other updates? Timescape Mediascape? If not what is the use of this thing? :(

Crazy SE!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tat2messiah:
they did add some stuff to mediascape and they also added a send feedback feature under settings\sony ericsson wich can be disabled wich of course mine is lol install jit and your scores will go up and the rom speeds up
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zabihjan:
yes the media scape supports multi touch only for photos. get rid of that useless software mediascape and timescape. they are totally useless. go for 3d gallery, and tweetdeck instead.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] akila87:
Well I don't use both of them anymore :D thanks to zdzihu :)

Just wanted to check what is new. Can you find iptables/netfilter in this kernel?

You can find iptables in /system/bin and wireless theater app will say if there is netfilter in the kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] erickwill:
Any link to download? Could someone upload to somewhere? Thanks ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lightyear420:
Use SEUS to get it.

I just got it rooted with the newest version of super one click :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrHassell:
Baseband

Hey after time spent with this on my handset, I can say Multitouch is in everything, with a little tweaking of the kernel and the build.prop as described in the guide by My_Immortal which links back Bin4ry method for updating to the latest kernel, is the same in this SE ROM. By default this ROM however is enabled in the kernel BUT it is set at a higher level than build.prop - adding into the build.prop does not cause any harm except push it out further.. SE dev's strike again, too rushed + not enough resources in software?

Side note, JIT v2 installs correctly via xRecovery and does improve performance.

It takes a few minutes to do the additional settings described by Bin4ry and My_Immortal - I use the Update Service in PC Companion to get into Restore mode (solid green led and nothing else displayed - maybe a faster way but I get into the Flash mode with Update service and cancel the wizard once it's green - works every time flawlessly and I switch out ROM after ROM)

This baseband is different to every other ROM and most ROM and patches designed for xRecovery posted to date don't work or brick the phone / freeze at white SE logo.

The baseband is the latest version and as just about every other ROM and mod in XDA to date, is designed to work with a lower baseband, in short if you manage to load the ROM just Flashed with FlashTool (latest, oldest makes no diff) will be messing with adb shell and issuing - busybox killall5 and then busybox killall servicemanager and trying to define APN points to get a baseband and this isn't going to work. I've been through it over and again and don't recommend wasting too much time.

IF you are able to flash back to a different baseband - from an earlier rom using FlashTool and all works.. great do it! Do the kernel patch and skip this update as it is slow and buggy and shreds battery life! I've uninstalled all the medipoo stuff and most of the call out back and anonymous usage stuff... still drains really hard... in short - I hate this ROM and really regret installing it.

What I found interesting is that I disabled the Settings > Usage Info > "Send statistics to Sony Ericsson" - and still found the little suckers threads popping up and sending packets to SE... they think we are plants? This could contravene a breach of privacy imho but I guess the licence terms clearly state that anyone who enters XDA forums to make their phone work the way it should do, is out of warranty zone etc.. I think that is quite a different matter to tracking information without consent. SE management have been pinged over privacy in the past... this ROM has backdoor traps and leaks all over it - I'm just hating everything about it, except the good parts that have been extracted elsewhere courtesy of Bin4ry. Save yourself the pain Flash to a decent ROM with a lower baseband.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrHassell:
SE Update Service reads from Kernel verion / Baseband

The easy way to get this update, is Flash your handset as described by Bin4ry to get the multi touch kernel installed by FlashTool.

After you flash your kernel and connect the SE Update Service, it detects your kernel has changed and you will see the following;

Baseband: 2.1.54

Really find this useful to know - thank you! What I needed was someone to tell me the working Baseband and build that these updated apps would be compatible with and you did it just there.

For anyone else in a Baseband jam out after installing the 2.1.A.0.435 update via SE tool > These are the standard Baseband and Build id's.

Firmware: 2.1-update-1

Baseband: 2.1.54

Kernel: 2.6.29 - SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

Build: 2.1.A.0.435

EDIT: The Baseband is the core Telephony stack - posted more info on this.

"Android's Radio Interface Layer (RIL) provides an abstraction layer between Android telephony services (android.telephony) and radio hardware. The RIL is radio agnostic, and includes support for Global System for Mobile communication (GSM)-based radios."
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrHassell:
:cool:

Not to be found in here here!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] akila87:
Thanks MrHassell, so there is no use of using this update.

May be we can flash the kernel after Bin4ry upload it (hope the kernel doesn't have any issue with the custom ROMs - only the baseband).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrHassell:
Well.. ROM likes Linpack - with tweaks

Here's my Linpack results from tonight. After stripping out all the junk apps and getting JIT 2 right.. Build.Prop to have optimized 32mb Dalvik cache.. yadda yadda blah blah blah...

MrHassell, Melbourne	33.254

Quadrant was 780 and by no means is it slow. The junk apps really drained the battery and by default it's cpu scaling is set to ondemand - and - this is the latest Baseband out there - ok - so the drawback is... some other things made for earlier Basebands will need to be recompiled to cater for the new BB.

The main things that helped me tune it to be nice, SpareParts.apk - SetCPU - OSMonitor - Development.apk - BusyBox Installer from the market - latest xRecovery - latest SuperOneClick... all in all - the hacks in Titanium Backup to remove apps no longer work and a lot of exploits are now impossible but root is cool, xRec is working provided the rom your flashing has the same Baseband... It's ok but if your really wanting performance the other ROM options mentioned are perhaps better.

The best feature of this official update, when you switch the power off, it stays off! :D

2.1.A.0.435

Install, via Flash Tool, went no problems, rooted this way also and installed my standard list of apps.

Xrecovery installed via GScript.

Setup - on AT&T Network Operator now shows which are 2G and which are 3G

Titanium restore apps takes one less step

Quadrant score high 700s to low 800's, after JIT

DT was preinstalled

Will try some 2.1 themes next
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tat2messiah:
It does interfere with custom roms. I tried to load freex10 beta 3 after this update anf it wont load it. It just keeps rebootin. Worked fine before this update

Also themes dont work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
The Baseband version changed to .54, there is a thread that discusses the potential impacts when Baseband changes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tat2messiah:
Yeah I have tead that thread now considering flashin back to the.24 one
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] akila87:
No even the kernel does not compatible with Free x10 Beta 3.

By the way I didn't install Free X10 from scratch but used the existing ROM.

If I clean the cache the ROM will load but will stuck at the lock screen touch won't work.

Then I got the white LED. So I went back to the previous MT kernel.

Hi Jim!

Read your post today and I was wondering if you know whether the 2.1 update will ever come to Claro? I'm also in Guatemala (X10a) is it better to wait or to flash?

Honestly i fave no fait on them... I have the 1.6 just in case but i dont care about them anyway... So i recomend you to update anything from here....

[HTC Aria General] blognc:
When my wife got the Aria a couple of months ago, she loved it, and I figured I had finally brought her successfully into the age of smartphones. Now, she HATES it. The reason: The awful proximity sensor, that keeps turning the screen on while she's on the phone, resulting in her cheek hanging up the phone, or making calls while she's on a call.

I actually said to her "Just don't hold the phone that way", before laughing about making an iPhone 4 reference.

There has to be an app to disable the sensor, or configure it differently. I want her to love her phone and get back to playing Angry Birds.
[HTC Aria General] Furies:
Does your wife hold the phone in an unconventional way? I've never had any problems with the proximity sensor activating when the phone is placed to my cheek.

I hold my phone in my left hand with the speaker pressed close to my ear (the proximity sensor is in the top right corner of the phone) with the microphone end pulled ever so slightly from my cheek. If I want to check your phone, pull your phone from your ear horizontally from pull it down to view the screen.

As for settings, I would try this one:

Go to Settings > Call Settings > Always use Proximity and UNCHECK this option. I feel like this gives better results in regards to the sensor.

*Please note this setting is found under Cyanogenmod 7, and I'm not clear if this is found under the standard HTC Sense ROM.
[HTC Aria General] Furies:
Note:

Make your wife try hitting the LOCK button as soon she dials her number and hits talk. This should lock your screen and disable the proximity. (Again, im running Cyanogenmod 7 so i dont know if this is true for HTC Sense)
[HTC Aria General] blognc:
She holds it in the normal way, but since the sensor is on the top right, far from the speaker, and she has a tiny ear, she'd have to hold it in an unusual way to make it work.

I wish. Definitely not in the stock ROM.
[HTC Aria General] blognc:
Do you mean the power button? In that case, it definitely doesn't work in the stock ROM. I'm glad to know there's a setting in Cyanogenmod, so worst case I'll flash that. I didn't want to get her involved with flashing, since it isn't wife-friendly, but the poor proximity sensor placement, combined with the just stupid move of the Android devs assuming no one would need such a simple feature, isn't wife-friendly either, so I might as well.

I don't understand how on a phone this small, you don't immediately assume that you will have users smaller than average, and assume smaller ears. The sensor on my Rhodium is WAY closer to the center line, and it's more suited to bigger people.
[HTC Aria General] akira02rex:
I experience the same damn thing as well - it's annoying!!

I mostly have an issue with hitting the "Hold" button. What I did to fix this was to make the phone "left-handed" which moved the "Hold" button to the right-side and it seems I'm less likely to cheek-press it anymore.

This doesn't solve the issue with hitting the End Call button though. The funny thing is, is that it's hard to replicate too! I can literally hold the phone like 1cm away from my head and the screen won't come on - but once in a blue moon I will slightly adjust the phone on my ear while walking/driving and BAM - CALL ENDED! FRACKING ANNOYING!!!! :mad:
[HTC Aria General] sp00nix:
I have the opposite problem. I can't gang up without a fight to wake the phone up.

Would love it... but... it wasn't uploaded supporting the Aria's screen size, so it doesn't show in the Android Market for her. Any way to force it to install and run, or to recompile it for this screen?
[HTC Aria General] theROMinator:
I have replaced my screen and I have the problem where it will not wake unless I remove the battery :/. Tried this and it unfortunately does not disable the sensor, it only supposedly gives you "control" over it.
[HTC Aria General] darknomad23:
Damn. I just replaced my glass too and am having the same problem and was about to try this. What other options have you found to fix this problem?
[HTC Aria General] sebbeng:
works fine here, just have to use the power button to lock and unlock the screen when in an call.
[HTC Aria General] UksusoFF:
same problem but on HTC Legend after replace screen, with upsounddown display go to black screen anyway =( maybe anybody knows other way?
[HTC Aria General] UksusoFF:
I solved this trouble on HTC Legend by adding

chmod 0000 /dev/cm3602

to init.d. Try this on your phone guys. thanks tamerlan311 for help
[HTC Aria General] Manxminx:
system/etc/init.d contains files that contain scripts.

Do I add

chmod 0000 /dev/cm3602

in a new file?

Also, before I do this, can anyone confirm that this script won't brick my phone but will do as mentioned - turn off the proximity sensor?

Thanks.

UksusoFF: Sorry to bother you like this, but can you explain me step by step how do I need to create that file and what code do I need to put in there?

I tried doing it with Root Explorer but it says that the folder is "Read-Only" so I cant create any file in there..

Thanks so much!
[HTC Aria General] UksusoFF:
you need root and s-off for do this, and maybe custom recovery. read forum to know how to edit system partition on your phone. i can't write step-by-step manual becouse i don't speak in english =(
[HTC Aria General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Sombody in the know this would be a sought after task.

I, like fmac, would appreciate if someone could give a step by step of how this procedure is done. I'm an Android user but HTC's are a little more touchy then what I'm used to. Rooting is not an issue for me, but whomever writes this up, may want to supply a link on that step for the folks just coming here for the first time. ARIAs have been out for a while and this problems fix is probably going to be heavily sought after.

HY there ,

Here is my problem :

I have a TG01 5.221840 (build 21840.5.0.60) and radio version 5001.0001.67 and my problem is that the battery lasts 30 min.

I charged the phone (off) for 12 hours and in the morning it showed 2 lines at battery indicator. I tried to put a cooked rom using the SD card method but the SDDL+ won't start because of the battery.

I can't use the phone with this rom ! The phone had different ROM's on it and it worked perfect. I got it from a friend and he put the original rom ( I Think) and therefore got my problem.

Is there a way to change the rom ? Thank you guys.
[TG01 General] mirolg:
with this method dont need a 90% full battery:

But- you have to be carefull! put after screen on the battery cover- then you can not lose your battery!

2 Short-Pin

1. Copy a functional ROM on SD Card. PRG folder

2. Rename to TG01WP_00.enc

3. Put the battery in and plug Power- Kable. Charging LED flash RED *

4. short pin 1 and 3 (back side under sim card, remove black plastic) Hold the short and press RESET. Hold short pin 1 and 3 for 10 sec. Display go on and ROM flash beginn put after screen on the battery cover- then you can not lose your battery!
[TG01 General] Minasmorgul:
so I managed to install a custom rom on it , but now I have a different problem.

After I left the phone to recharge for 10 h , it has only 10 % battery ! I took the battery to be measured and it's ok , my charger is ok , my usb port is ok ....

So my question is : Could a ROM , or RADIO affect the battery on my phone , or my phone's recharging capabilities ? please help !

Does it go "sleep" at all ? If it only switches off backlight but does not go sleep, You battery will be discharged completely for about several hours

do you use usb to micro usb charger or do you plug into AC ?

my computer charges tg01 over usb in about 20h from 10% to 100%

I can't believe that it get empty in 30min and everything is ok.

maybe it only shows it's charged 100%, I had something like that after boot 100% and in few minutes 40%. try to charge it after turn off and leave it for night, then try

[TG01 General] amerino:
GO to service!!

the fast battery discharge it is very simple to prove, in your situation...

If you buy it from store... they will manage your situation...

If you just get the phone from another source....bad luck!.

I use this phone 1,5 years... without problems...

I read hundreds of forums....never ever hear about your type of problem!?

good luck
[TG01 General] Howell:
Unfortunately your problem seem to be hardware, either battery or phone not charging it...

Order a new battery (I suggest 1200mAh one from Mugen to keep your phone Slim).

If the problem still occurs then this is your phone's fault.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Forgive my question ;) but what do You mean saying "battery mesaured was ok ?"

1) Did You measure its voltage ? How high it was ? You say battery indicator in tg01 shows too little so :

a) either You are wrong saying battery is ok because it is not charged enough high

b ) or if externally measured voltage was enough high You have 2 possibilities again:

- tg01 is damaged . Sucks energy like vaccum cleaner. Tragedy :(

- tg01 is ok but battery is damaged ( weak ). What I mean ? It is not so rare that battery can show good voltage but has weak "load" parameters. It is typical in bad quality aku. Even If You have for example 4.0V without load, any big load causes big voltage drops because bad aku has decreased capacitance and increased internal resistance.

My advice is check Your battery in any external circuit. Try to charge it externally and check voltage with load. Current about 100mA should give voltage drop about 30mV for tg01 battery. If it gives much above it ( let's say above 60mV), it is faulty.

Regards
