[General Questions and Answers] Asphyx:
I have Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and can configure just about any email account I want!

So basically your fact is NOT a fact!

WP7 is gearer to the same people who currently have flip phones.

Minimalist control, unconfigurable and set in stone.

Truth is WP7 is not much more than Titanium SQUARED with the rest of what was good about WM ripped out and unavailable to the user.

You claim Android is a low cost low end device but the truth is thats the market MS is targeting with WP7.

Dumb down the interface to the point where Grandma can use it!

I love my Android, does everything I want and some things I don't really need.

But at least I have the choice to quickly access the stuff I use with a quick launcher screen or via on screen widgets.

We have for years said to MS to unbloat WM6 and let us configue our screens better. Well they not only unbloated it they pretty much removed it entirely.

Android can be a great mobile operating system, but for all practical purposes it's still in beta testing.

[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
So let me break down your argument.

Your phone works with yahoo mail so therefor all phones do.

WP is low end because it's simple.

Because a UI is simple enough for anyone to understand it must be for stupid people.

I think that about sums up your argument. Please do read that back to me and tell me if I mistook any points.

In all honesty that seems about as sensible as the people who argue the "my processor is bigger so my phone is better," argument. Android is having the same issues WM had, fragmentation, too much customization from carriers/OEMs, and general lag due to no hardware accelerated because of the fact that it's put on so many devices. What keeps android afloat is the equipment, if they began to update the software people would be happy with their old phones but because they can throw out the exact same phone with a newer version and sell it for even more they dont. I mean hell, half of HTC's phones are the exact same thing with slightly better processors or a new version of android. Also, you can pin whatever you want to your start? I remember having to search for apps to pin playlists or videos or... well anything other than apps and widgets to the screen. If I want to I can go to a video or playlist, long tap it, and pin it to home without installing anything. If you want to have to customize the hell out of your phone to make it function go android. If you want something that works out of the box and actually has an intelligent and intuitive UI thats aesthetically pleasing then I'll see you in the WP7 forums.
[General Questions and Answers] lumsdon:
Android fulfils my needs :)
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Well, your agument againt android/WM seems to be because you had duff devices and messed up flashing and found their simple interfaces all too complicated then that's the OSs' fault and therefore all android/wm devices must be as bad as you made yours, when we know that isn't the case, as demonstrated by debunking you assertions about lag, and now your comments regarding yahoo have been shown to be bunkum.

Omnia owners have had bricked phones thanks to Microsoft, does this mean that all WP7 devices will be bricked if they take the update? Using the logic of your derission against droid/wm then yes, but as with your statements, that would be false as 10% of WP7 devices are affected, which thanks to the sales numbers means very few people are without phones.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FATEOWNZYOU:
I want to know if there something i can do to my phone : to keep tmobile from tracking down my IMEI number and seeing if my SIM card has ever been in my phone. This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with any kind of fraud or anything against the law (just letting you guys know before the thread gets locked).. Is there any kind of mod at all? To keep them from tracking my IMEI number?

Don't get mad at me for accusing

theory1: ur trying to keep away tmobile from tracking your imei number so they can't suspend your phone.

YES they can suspened your phone making it useless ( whatever sim card u put in, its not gonna work) I confirmed it with tmobile and they usually use this method when new customer just stop paying their bill and just take the phone.

Theory2:....idk....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.C.P:
Yea they black list the imei from their system, but u can use say a att dim card and it will work :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FATEOWNZYOU:
No i dont want them to track it down because about 4 months ago i did a warranty exchange on my phone.. But then i fixed it before i got it.. So i called tmobile back and asked them if i could cancel the shipping.. And they told me i could because the phones were on backorder... Well about a week later, i got the phone in the mail (even tho i wasnt suppose to)... And then eventually forgot about the phone. Well about 2 months after i recieved the new phone i realized i had it again and sent it back. ( but ended up sending back my older one instead)... Well tmobile is telling me that there was no history at all of me calling them and cancelling the shipment. Or no history in UPS that i even shipped it back. But i told them that i never recieved the phone tho... So i have been billed $475 on to my cellphone bill for a mistake they started by sending to me when i canceled it, and then not having a history of me calling. So now they are going to track down my IMEI number to see if my sim has been in it, On the phone i have now.... So im pretty much needing help to prevent them from doing that, because i have been charged with all this money, that was their mistake inthe first place... They said its un-creditable unless my sim was never in it... Is this anywhere near even possible at all to do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtmedeiros:
You "forgot" about it.

Ydi
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Hmmm...thats odd...when my Vibrant went "DEAD" I called them and they sent out a replacement..I got mine working again the next morning and called them back to cancel the replacement and I was told that they "do not and can not cancel an order after one hour of the order being placed." And when you go through the replacement steps with CS, they tell you up front that if you dont sent back the old phone you will get billed a $475 "restocking" fee and you have 7 days to return the phone.

I sent back my replacement back and kept my old one..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FATEOWNZYOU:
They was only able to cancel it bc all the vibrant were on backorder and not in stock. It took them 9 days for it to become in stock again. So ya i was able to cancel it... And no it shouldnt of mattered if i forgot about sending it back or not bc they shouldnt of sent it in the first place. Bc i canceled it... ****ing pieces of ****

Its your responsibility when you received it to know something was up, you should have called after realizing this.

if your looking to import your contacts from backupassistant you can go onto verizons site and goto backup assistant and export as a csv file and then import it on your phone. Just a thought

There are more files related to backup assistant than just that one apk file. I believe there are two apks, as well as changes in how the stuff in settings is populated as well. Why not just push all your contacts to your Google Account?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKrisx:
I was updating to FreeX10 2.2 Beta 4 .. Flashed the new FW .435 from stock RoM thread.

Well, here is my predicament. I can't get any further then the Sony Ericson logo. I have tried entering xRecovery to no success.

I was running Blue Sparks custom RoM before I attempted this.

Before Blue Sparks I was running Z's first beta of 2.2 and had no problems with installing and using it, I just reverted back to 2.1 because of the amount of bugs "no offense it was just Beta 1 ".

I am just trying to get my phone back up and running and am having an extreme problem of not being able to access anything to do so.

SEUS will not detect the phone under flash mode. Flash Tool will not connect. I have taken SIM Card and SD Card out, left the battery out now for over an hour and still nothing.

Any information on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

PS, I know this is completely in the wrong thread but seeing as how I never posted anythign before or ever had any problems my post count is not high enough to respond to anything under the Development Tab :( .. I just read everything you devs post and follow instructions.

Xperia X10a

Blue Sparks

Mod: xKrisx
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
had the same problem, some themes are not ready for the newest fw

check for updates on the threads or install a fw using any flash tool
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKrisx:
The problem is not the custom rom. Blue Sparks ran on 2.0.2.A.0.24. To update to the current Beta 4 of FreeX10 2.2 I needed to upgrade my build to the current one, .435.

So with updating, I flashed X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and updated the Base Band by flashing the amss file for it.

After completing the above two steps, I was no longer running Blue Sparks. It was a generic version of .435.

Now is were my problems began. I placed both zip files on my SD Card " Beta4 and gapps" and flashed both through xrecovery.

My phone rebooted and now it gets hung on the Sony Ericson logo during boot up and will not go anyfurther. I cannot access Xrecovery / I cannot enter Flash Mode. I am losted and have no idea of what to do to restore my phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shitnab:
Happend to me to because i flashed beta 4 and then gapps right after. I found that flashing beta 4 only then reboot phone let it boot then flash gapps after i got phone working. Thats what i did to get it working

EDIT: when se logo comes just rapidly press the back button until xrecovery pops up tryid one time where i was clicking for more than 30 sec before it came up
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKrisx:
@****nab

Thats my problem though, I cannot get into Xrecovery.. It stays hung at Sony Ericson logo period. It has sat there for the better part of an hour to no avail. I tried to connect back to SEUS and just retore back to default but I cannot get the phone into Flash mode either.

I took the phone back to At&t and I think my 5 year old son has more knowledge then they do, it was ****in pointless..

Step one:

turn phone on

step two:

Screen never illuminates

step three :

you can see a monochrome outline of the Sony Ericson logo

step four :

Screen illuminates and Sony Ericson logo is clear visable.

step five :

there isn't one cause it never goes any further then this.

________________________

when trying to enter flash mode

Step one ..

hold down back button

step two .

insert usb cord

step three

wait for green light to stay on.

step four .

Green light flashes three times and phone turns back off..

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_C:
Leave USB cale plugged both ends, remove battery, while holding back button reinsert battery. Should now be in flash mode.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshd:
try flashing from older flash tool where a connect button appears.

click connect..insert d cable with back key pressed and click on ok..

or

try getting in flash mode using seus..

if both doesnt work there must be problem with back button i guess..

(remember to install gordongate driver from flashtool/driver)..

and if u succeed in getting in flash mode then upadate d whole firmware to .435..not just d baseband..

then format system,cache,data thru xrecovery and install b4.

all d best.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sAnDrOmAn:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumble6059:
its more down to personal preference ive found.

ive used Darkys, Docs kitchen and am currently on Ultimate.

to get the best results ive used a mixture of ROM's and Kernels. for example, im as i said i am currently on Untimate ROM, Ver: 7.2 but i am using a different Kernel as it is best for me.

just try out some custom ROM's and see which you prefer.

Just MAKE SURE YOU FULLY READ UP ON HOW TO FLASH ETC. As if not, like i found, you could end up being another creater of a "help my phone is bricked" thread.

Is there any way to import phone numbers quickly, such as a copy and paste from the computer if possible, from an older phone?

I have a bunch of numbers from my razr2 that I would like to stick onto the vibrant, and if there is an easier way I'd rather do that than mess with the razr2's messed up capacitive buttons.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Sim card?.....
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
Sync your number from razer to outlook or outlook express. Then import it to your gmail contact. You should create a new group in contacts to keep it organized. Once logged in on your phone it will sync all automatically.

[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
I can say it would be a good idea to have all your contacts backed up on gmail as well. I've had sim cards go bad, so if it does, you just lost your contacts. I'm not sure how the razor sync's contacts, but if you can sync with outlook, it's really easy to get them to gmail. You basically backup your contacts to a file, then go to gmail and import that file. Trust me, having them on gmail will make it easier on you. If you were to change any numbers, it will auto sync with gmail, and if you get a new phone, (android), all your numbers will sync automatically through gmail. :D
[Vibrant General] T.C.P:
+1 its like magic
[Vibrant General] wrayrb:
Very good explanation. Thanks.:)
[Vibrant General] miguelmondo:
+1 for Google Contact sync. It also allows you to export in csv format so you can easily sync those contacts with other applications as well. Not to mention a web interface for editing and grouping those contacts which then automagically syncs to your phone. :)

Also, saving contacts to the phone gives you a lot more storage than a SIM card. I believe a SIM can only hold up to 250 contacts.
