[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADeadlySpoon:
Hey everyone,

I know I have a Galaxy S but this isn't for me.

My friend has the Desire (stock everything and bought on T-mobile contract) and is having problems with SMS and internet connectivity

Some SMS's aren't sending to certain numbers, and there was another problem where texts were sending to wrong people and now they aren't sending at all to certain numbers, saying "message error" according to her.

She also says that it says "connection error" when trying to the internet at times.

Now to me this sounds like it's a problem with the signal/network, could changing the radio work? Isthere one that would work better with T-mobile?

What do you people that use the Desire think?

I put in my desires as a size comparison.

I just got this home. It was a lot bigger than I expected or wanted, but I ordered it because my ultra small one broke.

It works fine though. It's a bit of a tight pull though, so hold on both sides of the wheel when you extend or retract it.

It also transfers data, besides charging.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Keirnoth:
Hey guys.

Had a weird thing happen with my G2. It seemed to have rebooted on its own, then it was OK for a few hours. However now I'm looking at a G2 that won't even turn on.

I did the whole nine yards, switched batteries, manually charged the battery, used a different charged battery, made sure the USB cable is plugged in with my charger.

The part that bothers me though is that even if I plug the charger cable in, no light comes on indicating it's charging. I did use those Chicotech batteries and I did notice that whenever I pulled the battery out, the battery contacts on the phone side looked a little bent. However, I haven't touched the battery in several days, and the phone was working just fine.

If it's an issue with the contacts (which I suspect it is), I'll probably have to do a warranty replacement. I purchased that "extended" warranty plan, so I should be good, only problem is I don't know if I want to turn my phone in. Will they care that I rooted the thing? I'll probably switch out the miniSDHC card that's in there, but since I can't unroot the phone (because the damn thing won't turn on) I just want to make sure nobody will be asking me questions.

I used to be able to briefly press the call button briefly on my headset to do voice dialing, now not working. The Starburst ROM dev has not heard of this issue. Any thoughts? All I get now is a 'beep' in the headset like an error beep when I press the dial button, rather than 'speak now'.
[Desire General] angusc:
Can you still voice dial using the device hardware button? (long press the magnifying glass button) in home screen?

Not sure but maybe you have changed the default action by installing a thirdparty app?

Sent with LeeDrOiD 2.3d
[Desire General] DroidBois:
Nice one... well something weird happened then, a message popped up saying my voice search language has been changed to English UK, then a spinning white wheel thing for a while, then voice google search. I don' tthink that's the same as the voice dial I had though.

I reconnected my BT headset and pressed 'dial' and I get a short high tone, followed by a longer low tone as in "bip-beep" and no phone response.

Weird.
[Desire General] angusc:
I think you need to go in to settings/applications/manage applications then scroll down to the voice dialer and open in. Next scroll down to "launch by default" see if you have an option to reset this.

I suggest that you do Nandroid back up first before testing this out. You can also check out some of the other applications related to phone dialing and their launch settings.

[Desire General] DroidBois:
I can only find Voice Search, no Voice Dialler app, unless it is 'Voice Search'?
[Desire General] kuroneko007:
Voice dialler and voice search are two different apps. Your rom probably doesn't have the voice dialler, so you may need to download it again. Alternatively just using voice search, say "call fred flintstone" and it will search your phone book and make the call.
[Desire General] DroidBois:
can't find a voice dialler app in the market except for third party apps.

[Desire General] DroidBois:
I have a weird recent issue where some contacts are showing up as '614...' rather than '04...' or '+614...', so they don't dial, even though the stored number is '04...' which dials fine. I noticed with one contact that if I de-lined Facebook it defaulted back to the actual stored number of '04...' - any thoughts? The Starburst ROM dev has not heard of this issue.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's a known Facebook sync issue

[Desire General] DroidBois:
Thanks guys! The thread is about HTC Sync corrupting Email Addresses in Outlook 2010 though, I searched Android Forums and couldn't see one about Facebook sync error, do you have a link handy or is that actually the right thread?

It seems to effect some contacts with phone numbers in their Facebook profile, that over-rides my contact details with the '614...' number that doesn't work. So i have to de-link Facebook for those contacts.
[Desire General] DroidBois:
message deleted, wrong thread.
[Desire General] celestialspring:
Here is what I did, this is only a partial solution:

De link the accounts.

Now select the account on your phone which has the correct number and now link it to the FB account. I think the account which is chosen first overrides the info in the "linked" one.

OR

You have to do this everytime you have such a contact:

dial the number from facebook. hang up once the dial screen comes into play. Go to your "call history", long press the contact, select -- Edit number before call (I think this facility is only on sense based roms, correct me if I am wrong), punch in the correct number and now you can dial.

kinda sucks but this is my workaround.
[Desire General] DroidBois:
sounds like I'm not alone. so first of parent account overrides?
[Desire General] DroidBois:
Tried going in to primary correct contact and linking, didn't work, will try the other way around.

edit, didn't work either, facebook always overrides.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Try this, works for me (but not in the Sense Contact widget)

- Edit the contact in question

- Change the original number from mobile to fax

- Save the changes

- Back at the main contact view press and hold the 'fax' number and set to primary contact

- Edit the contact again and make it a mobile again

- Save changes

This should then show the correct format and allow you to ring the contact

If only Facebook would allow people to enter the number as they want, with or without international dialing code
[Desire General] DroidBois:
Well as a workaround that actually works, thanks! At least I can hobble along now until this Facebook sync problem gets fixed. Any idea what's causing this or if it effects only some phones?
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
Another one here with the same problem. It's so damn annoying!

[Off-topic] LXXIII:
I'd like to make the final push and fully switch over to DoubleTwist from iTunes but one thing is keeping me. when I try to add my one and only podcast subscription to DoubleTwist, it says "Failed to subscribe".

the podcast is Rush 24/7 (Limbaugh) and the address is http://rss.premiereradio.net/podcast/rushlimb.xml (or at least this is what it shows in iTunes when I right clicked the podcast and select "Show Description").

I'm never prompted for a login/password. could this be the issue? or is it possible this podcast can only be subscribed to from iTunes?

EDIT: wow... Smart Playlists don't even exist with DoubleTwist... even if I did get this working I wouldn't be able to switch over
[Off-topic] perosredo:
I dropped money on AirSynch due to a high recommendation and I swear it's like some hokus pokus snake oil that doesn't work: can't adequately select what to sync and even worse, when it comes to actually sync'ing that beautiful lifesaver just spins and spins but nothing ever gets moved.

I like how they invested some thinking into the marketing and surface-level UX, but come on, the application is 15% complete. I feel ripped off.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scribbling001:
Hi,

I have a problem with upgrading and wondered if anyone could help, please. I have searched the forum and couldn't find an exact answer to my problem.

In November my wife broke the usb on her X10i and hasn't been able to upgrade to 2.1 because of Sony's lack of OTA updates.

Is it possible to root and flash 2.1 on the X10i using the SDcard only instead of connecting the phone to the PC through usb?

What is the best way to root and the best 2.1 rom to use when flashing a pay monthly O2 X10?

Thanks for any help in advance.

The model is an X10i

Firmware 1.6 (obviously) :o

baseband 1.0.16

Kernel 1.6.29

Build R1FA016
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
1. Search & download Z4 root to your sd card (use google, can't miss it)

2. Download BUSYBOX from the market

3. Follow the instructions on this link to install XRECOVERY:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

After these your phone should be ready to be flashed, it's just a matter of what you want to flash it to.

Hope these help. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scribbling001:
Thank you, I'll try your suggestions.

A standard 2.1 rom that works on an O2 x10i is fine to flash to, doesn't have to be customised or fancy. Any suggestions on the best and most stable rom to go for?

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
I think you will be fine with the Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 build. (Thought I had the link to the zip file but I must have deleted it, I used the flashtool exclusively for 2.1 and I used xrecovery when I started to use froyo.) I've only had my x10 for a little over 2 months, flashed it to 2.1 after a few days of getting it then I switched to 2.2 betas since the new year but I was happy with that 2.1 version the short time I had it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scribbling001:
Thank you very much :D

A couple more annoying newbie question though.

I rooted the phone but couldnt install busybox from the market, does Z4 root install it when it roots the phone?

I can't move the three xrecovery files from my sdcard into the system/bin folder on the phone. Do I need to install Root Explorer from the Market to access and write the 3 files onto the phone system folder?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
No problem I have a few things I still need to learn myself so no worries.

First, when you run z4 root does it say that its rooted?

Did you get an error when installing busybox or are you saying you can't find it in the market?

No, z4 doesn't install busybox.

Yes, you'll need to install root explorer before you can push any file to the system/bin folder/ on the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scribbling001:
Z4root worked, i chose permanant root, when I try to install busybox I get the message

Your Phone is rooted.

Busybox was not found.

The app failed either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount.

I installed Titanium backup to check the phone is rooted and it says it could not require root priviliges either.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Sounds like z4 root didn't work since 2 different apps does not see your phone as being rooted. Uninstall z4 then search and download for Universal Androot 1.6, that's the other root app I've used in the past.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scribbling001:
Thanks.

Phone rooted, busybox and root explorer installed.

Xrecovery files moved.

Can't get into the xrecovery menu at startup :confused:

My rooted Orange San Francisco is looking like a good buy now. I'll give up on messing with the phone. Thanks for all your help and time, my wife gets a new phone in year and it will probably take me that long to get it working and for SE to release 2.2 :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
hi there, dont give up now, you are getting so close!

you dont really need to use xrecovery menu at all. the idea for you would be the following:

1. root the 1.6 phone - done

2. install titanium backup/my backup pro and backup your data - done (i think)

3. download the 2.1 flashtool from the following thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793 (choose the appropriate ROM - if unsure ask questions! i would recommend the latest X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL)

4. run the flash tool and update phone to 2.1

5. reroot phone with z4root and reinstall backup software

6. recover all backups and you are now done!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
i should clarify also.....the reason i have recommended you NOT to use the xRecovery menu is fairly simple. If you are not planning on constantly flashing new ROMs and booting into other ROMS, then its simply not necessary for you.

The benefits of xRec are that you can take a complete backup of your phone, flash it with something else and then recover the backup when you are done. Its a simple way to flash new roms quickly, but as i said, not really necessary for you.

Flashtool is very easy to use, all the instructions are provided on the screen, and it is done in 5 minutes :) also, there are lots and lots of tutorials posted around the place too.

good luck!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
You are on point MRTIM, I can't argue with what you said. But like he mentioned on his first post, his wife broke the USB on the phone that's why he is doing it the long way. :)

@Scribbling Are you pressing the back button on the phone as soon as you see the white SE screen?

If you are still having trouble there is another way. One thing I failed to mention is the new version of xrecovery 0.3 is an actual APK file. That means you can just download it to your PC, transfer to your SD card, browse to the location on your phone then tap to install it. If you need a browser you can use ASTRO FILE MANAGER from the Market which is free. :)

PLEASE NOTE AND I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. If you are going to try and reinstall the xrecovery APK package, make sure to uninstall BUSYBOX then pull any xrecovery files that you already pushed to the phone prior to installing the v0.3 APK.

Let us know if you have any other questions. I agree with MRTIM, why stop now? You are almost there.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scribbling001:
Thanks.

Broken Usb is the annoying bit :D

I'll try installing Xrecovery as an apk.

Ugh..... Xrecovery could not be installed to this device. I'll try Xrec 0.2 later, if I can find the will.

Yes this is how it works, if you want to check your available space download from market application Quick system info
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonasbry:
Thanks, I had seen that in some roms, like starburst it showed the total space in settings. Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
It does not depend on the rom but on the script that is used to move stuff. On Leedroid it's A2SD+ and on starburst its data2sd (or a variation on that name).

Si tu ne parles pas des Anglais ce site n'est pas la meilleure source d'information pour toi. Je comprends Francais, mais mes compétences d'écriture sont limitées .. alors, en Anglais:

Imho, due to the limited memory capacity of the Diamond it is not very handy to use Android as a "productive" OS with many apps.

Afaik, current Android ROMs for it do not include any NAND solutions either, so you need to run a kind of bootloader called haret.exe
