Sweet Sassy Molassy

I rooted before the update, so my only advice would be to use SOC. Once you get there make a back up in some way. The safest way to remove bloat is to get Titanium Backup Pro and freeze those that you do not want. The free version only allows backing up and uninstalling. In some cases this is not enough to restore. You can always download the apps you removed; make a list. I believe there is a video to root DL17.

[Continuum Android Development] phrite:
thank you very much for this info Weudel. As mine is DL17.

As well as a thank you for this info as well Logan. i can wait to root mine. i dont want to screw something up. i will go purchase the TI/Backup and do it that way for now. i do have a quick question though. you said that your only advice is to use SOC. i am showing that he has v2 out, but all i can seem to find is version 1.9.5. his website dosnt even show it. does this work as intended?

again, thank you guys for everything.

I'm sorry, but I have no experience with SOC. I believe there is a tutorial using it though, not sure which version. I don't think you can brick it by trying. It will just fail.

You SIR are AWESOME! thank you

Hi,

I have a HTC wildfire and it is detected as a disk drive only after i restart the phone everytime I connect it to my PC. Can someone give me a solution for this please.

Thank You.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] augzeus:
Please do inform when the wildfire will get its root.... I hadn't read the threads before and upgraded to 2.2 ota.... regrets.... please do help....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] antonio1475:
There is no way to root Wildfire froyo. You will see lots of threads when it's possible, so please, stop writing about that and wait for it. It changes nothing.

Hello

Is there any news about 2.2 rooting?

[Dell Venue] tengofrio:
Hello there

I am a venue user from Korea.

Yesterday, I found a problem with screenshot apps.

I installed shootme and captured random shot, but the color of image is like negative, and tried another screen-capture app too, but the result was same.

I am not sure whether it is the problem of only for Korean venues or not.
[Dell Venue] phucleo:
did you use Shoot Me (screen grabber) ? I tried but the picture always red. Search in the market for screenshot (Gik soft) it's OK
[Dell Venue] tengofrio:
I really appreciate your help. Screenshot does work!!

It uses same 'SU', but I don't know why it happens only some apps like shootme..
[Dell Venue] wakakaa:
Just want to share with all of you...

I also installed Shootme and PicMe, but they didn't work as expected, the color tone was hell....

Thanks phucleo.

The SreenShot (Gik Soft) is working fine.
[Dell Venue] captkkk:
The graphics driver I guess, I gave up using app to capture screen, instead, I use the Android Screen Capture which is for Dalvik monitoring and debugging, so I only use the capture when the Venue is connected with USB.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dj_teb:
I've got a HTC Magic 32A wich my friend gaved to me since he had semi bricked it.

I've asked him what kind of rom he used when he tryed to flash the phone, but he can't remember :/

The phone itself works fine, but it can't read the SD card at all and I can't connect the phone to my computer.

If I try to hard reset the device, then the phone restarts all the time and are stucked at the boot screen.

If I clicking randomly on the phone then it finaly start. But all the problems are still there.

What should I do?

Be aware, I'm a total n00b when it comes to android phones and flashing. the only thing I've upgraded before is Windows Mobile, so easy explanation is what I need :P

My phone is:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

TY for reading this, and I'l hope you want to help me.

And sorry for my bad english :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] larsn84:
If you can't get access to the phone via sd card or usb, it seems rather impossible to save it...

you need one of those to things at least to get new radio, HBOOT, recovery or ROM on to the phone...

have you tried another sd card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dj_teb:
Hi there, and thanks for answer.

Yes, I've tryed several SD cards with no luck at all.

Does this mean that I can't fix the phone at all?

EDIT:

When I connect the phone via FASTBOOT It connects to the PC. But can't access any files on the SD
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
OK. There are some miscommunication here.

You actually got 2 or more problems. They may be related but we need to investigate the case.

Problem 1: The sdcard don't mount

Problem 2: No connection to the computer

To fix you problems we need to handle one by one.

The first thing i will concentrate on will be the connection problem.

Fix connection:

Make sure that your device has usb debugging turned on by doing:

push "menu" -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> make sure that "USB debugging" IS CHECKED.

This way your computer can communicate with the device using the adb executable.

You could also have driver problems, so make sure that you have the right drivers installed.

If you install the latest HTC-sync, it will have the drivers bundled with it.

When all is set, connect the device to the computer and see if there are any reactions from the device!

The sdcard problem may be fixed after you have done the above. That's because i want to make sure that you are not USB-bricked!

So, make the above and report back here the results. Then we can take it from there.

If you are not USB-bricked then the sdcard problem may be an easy fix :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dj_teb:
Ok

So I've downloaded and instaled HTC sync. The Phone did connect (yeah)

But It look's like it does not find the SD card at all. I did took a screendump of HTC sync so you can take a look.

http://bildr.no/view/818652
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Good news, you are not usb-bricked :0)

Fix sdcard problem:

Restart into fastboot mode.

Execute this command and post here the results

[B]fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

[/B]
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dj_teb:
hehe, thx for the reply, but how do I execute that command?

Sorry for the noobish question.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
As you see above, it's a FASTBOOT command and must be run in fastboot mode.

Power down.

Hold volume - ("-" and not +) together with power.

Execute the command from you fastboot path (where you have the fastboot.exe file... typically inside sdk/tool/ folder)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dj_teb:
Maybe it's me who can't figure it out.

But when I start in Fastboot ("-" + Power) then I get only

-------------------------------------

There is no other options.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
It's meant to be executed inside a command prompt/shell...

Read around because it kinda hard to help you when the basics are missing!
[Nook Color General] honourbound68:
tried searching for this but couldnt it so pls bear with me...

I just autonootered my nc last night and installed my paid apps from google. How do i find these apps besides searching for them? I noticed that I can't make folders or find the icons to drop on the home screen. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] sidenine:
If you didn't already, try installing a launcher app like ADW launcher or Zeam. That should allow you to do what you want. Otherwise, if you reboot, you should see your apps show up under the Extras section.
[Nook Color General] honourbound68:
thanks a million.. figured it had to be something simple lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winnerzero:
Hi all,

Getting very interested by the Xperia Arc and having a hard time deciding which colour to get.

Just wanted to see what everyone else out there plans to get once its released...

I'm currently leaning towards the silver cos its a bit more unique.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Both actaually...my wife want black and i take the silver one. We both have now black x10s and our contract needs to be renewed before june 19, hopefully it is in holland than...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinchaser:
Silver more me. Black x10 right now.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
I like the look of the black more; I would prefer white but I never really liked silver as the main color, only in highlights or accents.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
Black ^^ :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XB_LI:
I love white but there'r only black and silver...A lot of Android phones brand like HTC,Samsung,LG all in black so it'll become nothing special in black color...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louis0815:
silver.

Might not look as cool as the blue one, but will for sure need less polishing to get rid of visible fingerprints and the like.

And it fits nicely in my phone history as the last four were silver as well...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winnerzero:
wow, silver is ahead now but only by one vote. it's actually getting very hard for me to decide which colour now....i'm really drawn in by the silver colour but the blue shading on the back is really tempting as well....bugger...:)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ_QaT:
Will go with the black
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiyu727:
Silver looks way better, but Im getting black though since I can hide it easier in my black bag during classes :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ_QaT:
You could get a silver bag and go with silver :-P
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiyu727:
True, but still a bit flashy :D A guy with a silver bag on the table :o
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ_QaT:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
I pre-ordered the Midnight Blue one ^^ But I'm slightly tempted to change it to Misty Silver, it does look great but a little non-mainstream...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiyu727:
Change to silver :o

It'll look like youre holding a Digi-Cam :D (They're usually silver if I recall correctly)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
going for a black one xD just have to check if imma be living in the US or still in Mexico

either way I have to buy it unlocked and debranded
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blåburk:
I am about to replace my E10i need better battery life and bigger screen.

One things is for sure it will be a silver colored one. Just don't know if I want an Arc, a Neo, the Pro, yet... Or if I gonna buy it this spring or wait till the summer.

Was quite clear for a while that the Arc was to big and I would be better of with a more pocket friendly phone and a 7"-10"screen tablet.

Maybe the Arc might can be a half way house, and getting me (at least a taste of) both worlds in one device.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refract:
I'm really tempted for silver version, seeing it looked great in previews, but the black version is a tried out color that works for just about anything, so I think I'll go with that.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Misty silver looks really nice...but I know Ill end up regretting it later. I usually like black the best. So, im gonna go with black just to be on the safe side.

Now, its just a waiting game of when I can pick one up here in Canada....eh! lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refract:
^ this exactly, silver is appealing, but black is something you can't get tired of !
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imdking:
Arc does not come in black. Does not come in white either. The colors are "midnight blue" and "silver".
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makenboshi:
Midnight Blue (i'd like to call it black)

+stylish

-fingerprint magnet

Silver

+not fingerprint magnet

-less stylish compared to black

I also got a hard time deciding the colour, but in the end I chose black
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blomkungen:
Black

Simply because 3 will have it exclusive for a few weeks in sweden and 3 doesn't work where I live
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
I changed my pre-order to Misty Silver :P After seeing some videos and actually using the Arc (and noticing the fact that Midnight Blue is a huuuuuge fingerprint magnet) I've decided that Silver is the way to go ^^
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I wanted the Misty silver.. but getting it for free, and they are getting me a midnight blue one.. I suppose I'll learn to live with it!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimche:
We should be able to change faceplate of the phone with any other color soon. Once ARC hits the market in every country, then there will be lots of stuff available for it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsouls:
You can always buy a casing unless you dont like to have casing on a hp.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
I prefer not having a casing around my phone, but I purchased this one, for situations where I like some extra protection (when going jogging etc).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
I'm such a retard :D I switched back to Midnight Blue (again), since Misty Silver is delayed by 2 weeks here in Belgium&Netherlands, and it doesn't really matter to me anyway ^^
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willo77:
i like misty silver...

i'm getting bored with dark colour
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george232:
I love black (or very dark blue), but I ordered Silver. I think it looks nicer with the faux metal rim, and I never liked glossy black (or very dark blue...argh) gadgets.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lezroc:
Silver has a executive look :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashkae:
There's Pink too!!!

But I went with silver. I loved the gradient look of the black, but the glossy plastic is a MASSIVE fingerprint magnet. I'd probably spend all day obsessively compulsively cleaning the phone.

So i went with Silver.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehFoz:
Only in Japan though, and no one here is purchasing them as far as I've seen.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winnerzero:
So after all the votes before launch date, it came down to a 50/50 split between black and silver...wow, thats pretty cool...

I'm still actually having trouble deciding between the two colours. My biggest worry is the glossy black cover will be a fingerprint magnet as it is on the x10...and i'm still very drawn in with the silver one but a part of me just thinks the classic black is the way to go for a screen that nice, especially when its off.

does anyone thats handled the arc know if the black is especially prone to fingerprints?... anyone that got the silver one know if it feels less plasticky, kinds like a metallic-like finish?

I really want this phone, just can't decide the colour! and the votes here didn't help much...haha...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Focal86:
Sorry hit the wrong button.

I have the midnight blue colour and I don't notice so much the finger prints

on the back cover but if you turn it in and different lights shines on it and if

you are really looking for the finger prints then you will notice that.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cityofsky:
it is not black! it is deep blue!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shutterspark:
I think they're all quite prone to fingerprints if you're the sort that's bothered by that sort of thing :) The finish on all colours is the same glossy plastic one, including the silver.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retrosid:
I've pre-ordered dark blue without second thoughts.

Hopefully my decision will fulfill my expectations.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinityb4:
i brought the midnight blue! cos when i saw the misty sliver, it reallys looks like a old camera though, flat base colour.:D

then when at home checking and admiring the phone i found out that the back cover bottom is actually silver mat fading to midnight blue! cool stuff!

Really love the midnight colour!

As for finger prints, it's unavoidable thing. Btw thats the way to keep your phones clean.

But as when you clean it, whew!? very glossy and polish! NICE!:eek:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcoholtica:
blue or silver....arrrgh decision!!

silver is the one, blue has finger magnet
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xilw3r:
the thanks i gave you is more of a thumbs up :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixeline:
I've got the black one and I don't think it is too much of a fingerprint magnet. Funny enough ... and if it gets i little messy it's enough to stroke it with your hand and looks fine again. And the gradient look is so pretty ... :)

As for looks in general, I think the silver one looks best from the front - but from the side I prefere the black one, because of the constrast (black/silver band). You can really see the "arc" :D

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Midnight Blue is awesome, sure you see some fingerprints, but you can't see it on the front/display, so it's not really a problem. Every time I get my phone out of my pocket I'm surprised by how extremely good it looks! Just one beautiful deep blue device, amazing!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x9745:
Blue is nice on this model!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X10Zelda:
I got the black one yesterday.:D Had the white X10 and wanted a darker one this time. But i think both the colors look very nice.:)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metcard:
Misty silver. It reminds me if the k500i (ugly phone BTW) but the arc seems to pull it off. If the black was rubbery like the x10 I would have gone black, but I hate glossy plastic.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basharca:
Midnight blue!

I always liked the silver, I always wanted the silver, I always advised people to go for the silver. However, when the real thing happened and it was time to order, I just could not choose the silver!!

Seriously, the midnight blue is king! It's like having the latest Mercedes Benz for a president, does it ever comes in silver, no way. It's black and only black :p

One more thing, if you guys noticed the dark blue UI that S/E made for their new Xperia range, the dark black and blue just gave me the feeling that this UI was meant for a dark color device and not a light color like white or silver.

Therefore, my choice is midnight blue with out any second thoughts!

Hope this helps some of you guys :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimche:
It helped me a lot. If I am given a choice, I will go with silver since I don't want to be a president at this moment. I do like colors but then, I would rather have some faceplates to change colors.

First, it would be nice to have the actual phone in hand:rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basharca:
Don't worry even if you get the midnight blue you won't be president :D

But what I meant is the classy feeling you get with the dark color that's all :cool:

Either way, I hope you'll enjoy the phone to the fullest regardless of the color ;)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhatchetan:
Ordered a Silver Arc from Ebay. I took a demo of both colors. The reason I went for silver is because blue has a glossy back panel and is very prone for fingerprints. Silver looks cool with the chrome line.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
I had no choice in the matter since I was given the phone for free, so I have silver.

However, I was able to order a Blue battery cover at the same time I reserved the phone, so I have a nice two-toned phone.

Arc Silver here :p Elder bor has midnight blue & younger has Silver Arc :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vu2ikl:
got my XPERIA ARC today :)

it was tough decision to decide the color. both misty silver and midnight blue are b-e-a-utiful phones.. SE really knows how to design a beautiful phone.

i had voted for silver and was going to get silver arc when i saw the pics on internet.

but i could only decide after getting those phones in my hand do comparison.

misty silver has one definite advantage. there are almost no fingerprint marks on it. and midnight black is a finger print magnet. misty silver has i _bit_ of texture on it.. so it feels better to hold it.. as it does not stick to your hand. midnight black on other hand is too glossy and it sticks to hand.

but still i went for midnight black. reason: it just look stunning when it is off. the silver keys look soooo beautiful on it rather than on silver. also, i felt silver says "common touch me" its more of giving something. and black is subtle, its like at peace with itself. timeless.

misty silver is awesome and midnight blue is classy.

misty silver is peppy and midnight blue is elegant.

finally i would say.. it just depends on which suits you more. only you can tell which one you like more _after_ holding that phone in your hand.

first i wasn't sure if i made right choice. but now i am sure i made right choice.

as the phone lie on my bed, i look at it and just keep falling in love like i felt about my good ol x10. SE <3
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depulle87:
Same here, but I wanted the blue one because you dont see the ''frame'' around the screen and on the silver one you can see it very clear, a friens of mine has the silver one and I'm glad I took the blue one, however it is a finger print magnet that true
