[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swissman:
Hello everybody,

I've used a temp gmail account (the famous one we all have for receiving spam) when I received and set up my Desire Z. The problem is that I've downloaded not many but nice applications (some are paid) and now I would like to restart from 0 and link my phone to a clean gmail account (and market account).

Is there any way of migrating one market account to another? basically having the apps downloaded or purchased under x@gmail.com migrated to y@gmail.com?

If not, anyway of retreiving apk's from my rooted phone and then installing them after a factory reset and a link to that new account? (was looking into /system/app but it seems like most of the apps are not in, nothing found on the sd)

Thank you in advance for helping me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
what I suggest you do is just download the apps you paid for and keep the ones you have on your phone then migrate to the new gmail. You can do this by going in settings>applications>manage apps then (not sure if this is the right one) clear the cache on your market app. Open market and it will request you to login with your gmail. Do so with the new gmail and bammo! If you ever accidentally remove the paid apps, just login the old account again, so be sure to write down the info incase you forget later down the road.

Probably not the exact solution you were hoping for but it's the best I can come up with!

Note: If clearing market cache doesn't remove the logged in account, try clearing the cache of some other official google apps that require sync.

Note 2: doing this will not migrate your contacts, but you can always copy all your contacts from one account to another by logging into gmail on the pc and manually migrating them there.

Hope this helps!

I think its not true. What u say ?
[XPERIA X8 General] Troute:
SE have already said there will be no more updates to Android for current Xperia models. But new models will have later versions of Android.
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
Arc will have 2.3

Maybe the devs make 2.3, like 2.2.1 for X10
[XPERIA X8 General] bkugla:
No,no. They say that we will have the 2.3 update, and this is a S.E. offical source, now if they don't deliver us the update we can go tu court and sue them for false advertising :D
[XPERIA X8 General] ripsy:
no update :mad:

Final consideration of the Company

"...the company will focus efforts on its new line of Xperia handsets that come with the most current version of Android 2.3 from the product Xperia (tm) Arc.

The devices that are already in the portfolio company's released so far, will keep the version 2.1 of the Android operating system..."
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
I believe that the devs will make the new update( like 2.2.1 for x10 )
[XPERIA X8 General] antimadridista1:
i think that X10 series will get gingerbread,but X8 won't...
[XPERIA X8 General] revenge50:
SE is just to lazy to customize the fws which get published of Google -.-
[XPERIA X8 General] EL_BELLACO:
why u think that?
[XPERIA X8 General] Compwxr:
Well, I thinks it's false advertising, they won't update us soon, they insist telling us we won't have further updates. All we depend now are dev's from XDA, and specially those who made this site possible! I really admire you guys. And like many others I lost my trust in SE. Shame on them...
[XPERIA X8 General] crazy_ender:
i think that X8 series will get gingerbread by someone.
[XPERIA X8 General] Compwxr:
I've tested Racht's 2.3 CM mod but I can't load it, keeps giving a strange graphic after boot animation :S but, anyway, it's 2.3.1 loading at our phone :D
[XPERIA X8 General] l373872514:
I need it so much
[XPERIA X8 General] doixanh:
I believe that's a fake message. If that's true then why did they skip Froyo ?
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
Arc will get 2.3 so eventually they add 2.3 to whole Xperia family.
[XPERIA X8 General] djtimon89:
x8 never update to 2.3
[XPERIA X8 General] Compwxr:
By SE! :P We must wait for dev's to come out with a solution.
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:

hahah LOL LOL
[XPERIA X8 General] HAKA:

[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
Look, I have 3 devices, just trying to help.
[XPERIA X8 General] sincan01:
Sad knowing Old xperia lines won't get official ginggerbread :(
[XPERIA X8 General] konio25:
SE said they will provide minor software update, not android update eg. 2.1 to 2.2
[XPERIA X8 General] masslany:
SE have no interest in updating old xperia's. It's all about money. Why would they update to ex. 2.2, if se can advertise new phones with brand NEW firmware that other phones won't have.

If you want to have your xperia updated you have to try richt roms.
[XPERIA X8 General] tinanim:
First post!

I think they dont update because they want us to buy new xperia phones..

But also wouldnt gingerbred be too much for our 600mhz xperia?
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
In X10 dev section, there is 2.3.2 google android ROM :p

Perfect :p:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 General] JasoX:
This is false. I asked the same question at the Official SE forums and they say this is false information.
[XPERIA X8 General] bnight:
You can test 2.3.2 by yourself I did test it and it`s too much faster then 2.1 that we currently have so basically no it`s not too much is too much that SE don`t give us better software or access to the boot loader.

But if you wish you can use 2.3.2 it`s your chose.

Big Thanks to racht !!!
[XPERIA X8 General] EL_BELLACO:
What Rom can i use that have:

Spanish, or English, Android 2.2 or 2.3, full GSM Call, camera works, 3,5 jack work, bluethoot, well hase to be fully functional!

Sorry for my bad English :(
[XPERIA X8 General] booro123:
None,they are all still in development
[XPERIA X8 General] JasoX:
Indeed they are. We need to be patient and wait for the developers to improve the roms.
[XPERIA X8 General] EL_BELLACO:
Thanks man, i will be waiting!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] Sully.E:
I don't think that there is a major difference between X8 and X10 mini/pro

if they are going to be updated with Gingerbread , So X8 can have it too!

BTW , Sony Ericsson Turkish support said they are planing to release froyo for X10 in 2011 Q2

I know it's too late , Probably there will be android 2.4 in Q2 , but at least it means that they are not give up with X10 although they are very lazy! but I think updating X10 means there will be update for min/pro and X8 too
[XPERIA X8 General] tiptipz:
hope x8 will get update in future =/
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
People are still buying x10 and x8 models so if you are right we will get froyo.
[XPERIA X8 General] booro123:

Big tnx to racht
[XPERIA X8 General] CaptainZap:
Don't get your hopes up, because the only way X8 will get a fully working froyo rom is that racht finds out the missing drivers in his roms... SE has abbandoned us even from launch, X8 should have had Eclair fresh out the factory not the lousy Donut. Anyways except for the crappy back cover X8 is pretty good even with eclair.
[XPERIA X8 General] Sully.E:
racht will find out finally ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] pandza94:
I wish I could help Racht but I only know how to root the damn thing!

SE will not I repeat will not publish a 2.2 version for older Xperia phones.:confused:

Anyway SE has good phones in their lineup but the software is pretty much lousy??!

Example x8 versus LG GT540

LG with the 2.2 little better than x8 with 2.1

x8 with 2.2-Galaxy S owned:D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmay20:
hey,

I usually listen to Pandora in my car on my N1 , i have the aux cord so you know it goes to speakers. but when i get a phone call i have having to unplug the aux cord just so they can hear me. I can hear them fine through the speaker in my car. I guess its like this because N1 assumes i plugged in a headset and cuts off the internal mic. how can I use the internal while I have a aux or just plane headphones plugged in.

Thanks

PS im running CM7 build 31 nightly
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
When I use pandora with the aux cord and a call come in, I just talk like normal, they can hear me and I can hear the caller on my car speakers. How far away is the phone to you? Mine is mounted only like a foot away from me.

i put the phone right to my face haha
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princebabyeater:
I have the same issue, I think its because of how far the phone is, however I usually just use the speaker phone, then once the call ends the music resumes

How do you change the ua string on the stock browser on the dl 30 leak?

The old way of about:debug doesn't have the option listed. This is semi a pain now that we have flash but no way to force the desktop version.

I do not want to use anything other then the stock browser.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I was looking for this yesterday and couldn't find an answer anywhere. If you find one please post it here.

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] Pfredd:
What is the UA string and why would I want to change it?
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
The UA STRing setting allows you to set your phone's browser to be android, iOS, desktop, etc... basically allowing you to make websites think you are a home computer.

This allows you to bypass the mobile versions of websites which is preferable on certain sites. Especially if the mobile version is lacking features... or in Hulu's case, completely blocked.
[Fascinate General] Pfredd:
OK - Thanks for the info!

While I love it that many sites have "mobile" versions that work better on a phone, it does tick me off that many of these mobile sites are gimped down and don't offer all of the content that the full sites do (Comedy Central is one).
[Fascinate General] sealpuncher:
Yeah if someone can figure this out it would be great. Many mobile sites take away the core functionalities of the website which is extremely frustrating.
[Fascinate General] mguindon10:
A round about way is to type about:useragent in the address bar and it will come up.
[General Questions and Answers] assafb:
Hi all,

Recently I got a problem with my HTC Desire.

I can search and pair with other Bluetooth devices (laptop, other cell phones, etc.) but I cannot connect with them (I use to connect before - but now I can't).

I've already tried "Hard Reset", installed Bluetooth file transfer, remove and add the devices.

However, nothing seems to help.

Does anyone have an idea?

Help please!!!

(and thanks in advance)
[General Questions and Answers] men$hoot:
Do you think factory reset would make it work again?
[General Questions and Answers] cemce:

[General Questions and Answers] assafb:
Problem solved

Hi,

Just to update:

I installed ADW Launcher and noticed that some applications I used to have and disappeared - appeared again (I thought it had something to do with the hard reset I did).

Anyway, I figured I might try to connect via Bluetooth again and it started to work!!!

Something in the HTC sense launcher (or the ROM I had - which came from the shop...) caused this problem...

Hope this could help others.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kyo Kenshin:
So now that Handcent has released skin packs I've been trying to find a way to basically rip open the skinpack APK and replace the images and whatnot to create my own skins. I haven't found a solution thus far and I was hoping the experts here could help me out. I've opened it up in APK Edit and attempted to swap images but it won't install. I'm not sure where I went wrong but I'm curious on how one of you would approach the process.

I assumed APK Edit would resign the *.apk file but maybe that's what I'm missing. I'll keep pecking away at it and see what I can come up with but any assistance would be aweome.

Haha, oops. Thanks for catching that. Think I fixed it... But dont think it shows up with the same formatting on my phone, so I cant tell.
[Droid X General] angryjello:
<-- n00b

So I rooted my phone and tried to install a rom with rom manager and nothing happened. I tried manually and no roms appeared in the boot menu. Soooooooo my question is, do I need the bootstrapper app in order to install roms?
[Droid X General] zwade01:
Yes, you do.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I think if you press on "flash clockwork" that you dont necessarily need bootstrap recovery, as it is built in.

I personally only use bootstrap recovery as you can still do backups/restores, and install themes and Roms. Just one less step in my opinion. I just manually download the ROMs or themes and move them to my sdcard.
[Droid X General] angryjello:
alright so i downloaded a rom from romManager but it won't load it from the app. I located the file on my sd card:

clockworkmod/www sephtin.com/rubix/rubiX.js

Now can i just zip the rubiX folder and do a manual boot to it?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Um... I'm not super familiar with ROM manager, as I don't personally use it to download ROMs, but from what I know, that looks like a javascript file, and not a .zip for a ROM or theme installation. This looks more like a script that sephtin may have written... I'm not sure if maybe ROM manager calls a javascript file to install the ROM or not, but to my knowledge, if you download the ROM from within ROM manager, it should be able to install it.

Here is my suggestion (I'm assuming you are trying to install Rubix 1.9.7...

Download the ROM from here:

http://bit.ly/hw6rE8

Then connect your phone to your computer via the usb cable. Put the phone in USB mass storage mode and copy the file you downloaded to your SDcard.

Before installing the ROM, use one of the free apps from the market to backup your SMS messages if you don't want to lose them. Also download Titanium backup to backup your applications and data if you don't want to lose that as well. As for your contacts, if you don't have those backed up to your google (gmail) account, then those will be wiped out as well with the Rubix installation.

Then if you haven't already... download Droid X bootstrap recovery and install it. Open the app, and press the top button to hijack the boot process. Then press the "reboot recovery" button to reboot into bootstrap recovery. When the phone reboots in bootstrap, use the volume up/down buttons to move the green highlighted selection, and the camera button the phone to make your selections. Go to the option that says "Wipe data/factory reset, and do this use the camera button to select this (this will wipe out all the downloaded apps and user data on your phone). Next, use the back arrow button on your phone to get back to the main menu if necessary. Browse to install .zip from sdcard, then locate the Rubix file that you copied to your sdcard and use the camera button to select it. This will then install the Rubix ROM. when it finishes, it should bring you back to the main menu, but if not, use the back arrow button on the phone to get back to the main menu. Choose the "reboot system now" button and it will reboot normally.

From the first reboot after installing, it may take SEVERAL minutes before the phone actually boots up, this is normal; give it some time and let it do its thing. If it does not boot up after 15 minutes, something is wrong, and you should post back here for more help (or browse on the forums and google, they are both your friend).

Good luck!

z4root running exploit and avg question

I have followed the excellent advice in this post and successfully ran the "adb install z4root.1.3.0.apk" command.

BACKGROUND INFO (don't know if it's relevant or not):

After installing z4root, AVG antivirus on my phone popped up and alerted me of a problem. I could click "fix" to essentially uninstall the app, or click "OK" in which case, I guess, it ignores the app. I clicked OK.

(this also happened when I downloaded and installed the "Wireless tether for root" by Muller,Lemons,Buxton app from the market onto my phone - the first time I clicked fix and it walked me through uninstalling the app. Then I re-installed the app and clicked ok when AVG popped up that time. I haven't run the tethering app as I don't yet have root - see below)

ISSUE:

Now, when I run z4root and press "permanent root", it says "Running exploit in order to obtain root access..." and the timer just endlessly spins. I read on another post here to just restart the phone, try again, and it's supposed to work. I have restarted the phone several times, but the z4root app does the same thing. I have let it spin for more than 30 minutes. Your post says it will take a while... what is the average time - 5 minutes? 1? 30+? :o

Should I uninstall AVG and try again? Is it interfering with the root exploit?

I'm also running LauncherPro. Would that cause a problem with rooting?

I'm also concerned because I haven't been able to backup the phone yet, as I still have to get root, install the bootstrapper and then run titanium in order to be able to perform a backup, correct?

Thanks for any advice!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Hm.. interesting. I would try uninstalling the AVG antivirus. I personally don't use one, but I would think that anything that tries to interact with the system would get flagged by the antivirus.

Try uninstalling it and running z4root again. It should only take about 5 minutes and then reboot your phone.
[Droid X General] HighTechGeek:
After about 5 or 6 times, I was running z4root and while it was running, I hit "home" and started playing around with trying to close LauncherPro and uninstall AVG. I eventually closed LauncherPro and went back to Motorola blur and was thinking of uninstalling AVG when, out of the blue, z4root popped up a message about completing successfully and it was initiating a reboot. I was surprised (I assumed it had closed), but happy. The phone automatically restarted and I had root! I never did uninstall AVG. The only thing I can think of that made a difference was that I closed LauncherPro...

The time from when I launched z4root until it popped up with it's message of success was 15 minutes.
