[Desire HD General] mattyhagar:
The USB cables are all the same and have no effect on charging current. The charging current is determined by how the two data lines within the cable are terminated in the charging device. If the data lines are left open ciruit, the phone interprets this as being a USB charger and will therefore only draw a maximum of 500mA to prevent damage to a PC's USB port. Chargers that are capable of delivering more current (such as a wall charger) connect the two data lines together. The phone then interprets this as being a charging device which is capable of delivering a higher current and will draw greater than 500mA. If you look at "Menu - Settings - About phone - Battery" it will state either "Charging (USB)" or "Charging (AC)" depending on what you are charging from.

Any help?

Hi, it's just that i want to change the font colour of my rom (it's still is in beta mode and i haven't post it, but it'll soon come). My rom is based on the framework of the nexus s and its systemui.apk so everything is the same, but when im at any place and i press the button left to the home button, and it displays the extra options, the extra options are in the same colour as the font (black) and i can't see it. I would just copy the xml files on the nexus s framework (i suppose it's located there), but its far better if i learn how to change it myself. I'm a bit noob at rom cooking, and i know the basics, how to edit the framework, edditing apk's appearance, cooking it, making it into a flasheable zip, but the thing i don't know is how to this.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 00.ante:
If I'correct then in twframework in /res/values should be xml file color.xml and in there should be color hex code with most colors used in theme or in /res/drawable is quite few xml files for some menus. You edit xml with some better editor. Hope this can jelp a little rrst will theme modders add

[Nexus One General] HelloWorld3:
Hi everyone. I've had a nexus one since Jan. when it came out, and I was still back with T-Mobile. Skip to June, the iPhone4 comes out, and I get drawn in by all the hype. I signed a 2-year contract (unfortunately), and now I'm stuck with AT&T.

Problem is, iOS is just really not for me. I really miss Android and my Nexus One. I miss it so much that I bought a microSIM adapter and I use my Nexus One instead of my iPhone4 even though I can only use the edge network.

So yeah, I'm basically looking for someone who is looking to switch over to T-Mobile (Their prices are great! I would if I could!) and also has a Nexus One that they would like to swap. My Nexus has signs of wear, but it still looks beautiful. Nothing is broken, it still works exactly as if it were new.

If nobody wants to do the trade, can someone at least tell me where I would be able to find someone who does?
[Nexus One General] jdmoore81:
I would but how can we do this I got shafted on my last trade
[Nexus One General] HelloWorld3:
Oh God, I didn't think about how tough it would be to exchange phones online.

I'm not sure how well Norton Security "locks" the phone, but we could both use the app to lock the phones until we've received the other phone. It lets us GPS track it and everything, so if anyone tries anything funny, we would at least have an address.

[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
I think there'll be a message from Sony which says: The information from SE Brazil is wrong, there won't be any updates.

But it would be cool to get that update.
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
doesn't 2.3 require 512mb ram?
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
There's a 2.3 custom rom for the X10, so it works fine with less than 512MB.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not positive, but at least the regional branches are being receptive to the idea.
[XPERIA X10 General] peligo:
This answer is a little vague... there will be updates, but it is not clear if it is going to show up on X10... maybe they are talking about Xperia arc...
[XPERIA X10 General] tr0llica:
no, android 2.3 hasnt got any official requierments

512MB ram was just hoax
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
The Arc is coming with 2.3, so it wouldn't be updated to gingerbread. Also, the SE response it to an X10 owner not happy about not updating to 2.2.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
A long way off. But it would be nice if they confirm that 2.3 is still on the table and being discussed.
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Let's see how it ends :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] Darkinho68:
I think it's not real
[XPERIA X10 General] reptile64:
until Nov 2011 we will have cracked bootloader and Android 4.0 LOL :-D
[XPERIA X10 General] FabricioGS:
Wow.. I'm from Brazil and I didn't see that.

It really says "We reported that Sony Ericsson will not release the 2.2 version of Android, but the 2.3 which is expected in October 2011" but I think this is 100% bull**** from the PR person just to shut the customer complain down. Most companies does that on this site.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
"...but the 2.3 which is expected in October 2011..."

I really, really, really, really doubt this. Like, why such a random month like October? It's 8 months from now till October, so wtf...
[XPERIA X10 General] creage:
Well, you know it took about 4 months to release 435 FW, with crappy Mediascape pinchzooming and calendar...

So I don't surprised if it would take a year to rollout a 2.3 for SEX10. But I would really surprised if they do this ever :)))
[XPERIA X10 General] Darkinho68:
Amazing surprise
[XPERIA X10 General] soldiers33:
although im becoming happier with my phone every time i use it. I would love to get 2.3 on here.
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
After analyzing this, I have a conclusion: it isn't real.

I have some points to say that.

1. SE says that X10 running 2.1 delivers a full good experience for the users, so they'll rather to keep it in that way. They'd supposedly have problems developing a 2.2 version (I think that's just an excuse but... meh), so working in 2.3 for X10 means even more problems for them. They just won't make the effort.

2. I think X10 will be supported only until june or july. Then SE will start to work in the possible next Android version (2.4?) BUT only for Arc, Neo and PlayStation phone. But, in case that an update comes in Q4 of 2011 for X10 it won't be Gingerbread for sure, most likely another ROM build version with some improvements.

3. I don't know about any company to be interested on upgrading a phone that originally came with 1.6 to 2.3, no matter if the phone could be capable to run it. SE won't be the first.

So... Sorry guys, but this will not happen. I had the little hope too when I saw the new.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Ok Macgyver. Yesterday you were a musician, today you're a investigative detective. What do you mean it isn't real?
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Im a musician, not a detective :D

Let's just see the reality, mah friend. That just can't be possible. If we think that'll be true, when it doesn't happen a lot of ppl will be very frustrated.

I thank you for the new, as I said, I had a hope, but in this case is hope vs. logic.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Was only joking with you. In another thread you were pushing for this. People are already frustrated. Just goes to show posting comments in the right places, rather than just whining in these forums can get SE's attention. I too am very skeptical, but at least there is hope.
[XPERIA X10 General] aosi:
they said no multitouch xD so lets wait
[XPERIA X10 General] admad:
November, woow. Amazed. J & Z alone already did pretty stable 2.2 and 2.3 within few weeks, and without bootloader. I wonder what on earth devs in SE are doing? Playing games?
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Then, hope this becomes real. Im crossing my fingers right now.

:)

Im thinking on writting a letter to SE or something like that in a very kindly way and trying to explain my reasons why I think X10 would be better with 2.2/2.3 in the most understandable way I can , but I don't know where to send it. Any idea?
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Log on to their website, at the bottom right of every page is a drop down box where you can select your location. Used the contact info in there for your local branch. Any support emails will also go to your local branch. Also, consider posting in a SE public place, like this guy did or on any of their online advertising.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
It would not happen before the Arc is released or right after. They are in the business of selling phones first and foremost.
[XPERIA X10 General] Avin1973:
Reclameaqui (complain here) is a well known website.

If there's an answer there is from SE Brazil... if it will be real or not, I don't know.

Maybe after all the #sonyericssonfail trend they changed their minds...
[XPERIA X10 General] wing_zero8556:
Yeah if they released gingerbread for the x10 now it would give us no incentive to get the arc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prosafe:

[XPERIA X10 General] yvaditya:
Not updating their current x10 would give us no incentive to get another Sony Ericsson. ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Until there is proof, I'd say this is yet another urban legend which gives people high hopes and anticipations, only to get backlash after realizing it will not happen.

Hope you guys don't fall into this trap.

Anyway, this is the logical flow:

Stop giving upgrades = rich kids abandon 2.2 X10 to get 2.3 Arc

Give upgrades = sensible or stingy owners sticking to 2.3 X10 instead of buying 2.3 Arc.
[XPERIA X10 General] anjo2:
X8 = X10 mini

X10 can be the same as Arc

I explain, if they are working in 2.3, the UI for 2.3, drivers for 2.3, why work too in 2.2 for X10? They can migrate 2.3 from Arc to X10, without so much work, only if Arc comes out with 2.2, the X10 can receive 2.2

Very Strange, in that site, in comments someone said that Google Earth dont work in no one xperia, it works on mine X10 very good.
[XPERIA X10 General] lostsouls:

[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Um, it's 2011 now. That's 9 months. That must have been one hell of a New Year's party....I want to party with you. Lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not that I am trying to compare, and I know how sensitive some people around here are about the word Apple, but that's what they do. When our contracts are up in 2012 or when we do buy a new phone we would be more likely to get the Arc or their next device. Ultimately, we'd be more likely to be brand loyal.

Everyone already has low expectations. I look at this as a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. I brought my umbrella because I'm expecting rain, but my sun glasses are in my pocket just the same.... Hey, I am a poet and didn't know it. No need to be so negative. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I'm thinking these really long wait times for new OS on our devices might be becouse SE made our bootloader unchangeble therefore SE has to rewrite the very core of every android OS version they want to implement. Instead of the other way around.
[XPERIA X10 General] muratbaizhanov:
i think until that time Z & J will port android 4.0 to our x10s =)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
And everyone else is using generic/vanilla Android. SE customized 2.1 with Timescape, Mediascape, Face Recognition, UI, messaging, calendar, phone book, etc.

Makes me think of a beautiful song, "What's another year, for someone who's lost everything.."

[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:

Get a grip, guys. We are forever s tuck with 2.1. Stop giving yourselves false hopes.

[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
I alrady thought it. But 2.1 with some mods it's good enough for me...

But hey, 2.3 would be better ;)

Sony Ericsson could do more for their customers, they let us down, will be buy a SE again, when they don't support the devices????
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
I will, after my X10 dies. After all, no existing android phones are as pretty-looking, and no other better multimedia players than mediascape and timescape. 3rd-party multimedia players are a waste of space.

And we should all bear in mind that whatever version is supposed to come with the phone, it's pretty much what we get. If we have upgrades, it'll be a bonus.

I'm not a brand-loyal person, just that I always prefer the nicest-looking stuff.
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
updates are not bonuses, we pay for the phone and for the upcoming updates on your phones. those developers dont work for free
[XPERIA X10 General] Meraklis56:

why would they say that x10 will be updated to 2.3 when they havent even confirmed?

[XPERIA X10 General] pedromr:
I don't know what is wrong with SE. They really think not updating my barely 1 year old phone will make me buy their new "flagship" phone? Tell you, if x10 had decent support, I would buy Arc or Xperia Play on launch day. As is, I don't feel like buying a SE phone. Never again. From now on, HTC or Nexus branded phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
you are half right. We pay for the phone. And nothing else. Those developers don't work extra for your measly $1088. And I don't see any legal form of agreement that they should give us relentless updates.

If there is, chances are you'd be suing them in court instead of whining online and still doesn't get what you want. =)

Maybe if you paid them $10880, then I'd say yeah... they can live off you for the next 2 years.

I really hate it when kids don't know how the world works and just whine and whine for what they themselves want -_-

The cost of 5 X10s might not even be enough to pay a programmer/developer/engineer.

If you think I'm bluffing, go ask your parents or any working adults. The handset's money don't all go into Sony Ericsson itself. Parts of it go to the production cost, materials and parts, acquiring of licensing etc, not just the staffs' pay.

And actually, they make losses by replacing faulty phone parts for free for warrantied phones.

These people are not like the hackers here, doing stuff for free to get attention and self-gratification (and occasional 'donations'). Those staffs are working for honest-to-goodness pays in order to support their families and lives.

[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:

lazy to do the math. Wahahaha. But I guess you and some others get my point. Just that those kids thought just buying 1 set makes them gods to Sony Ericsson, which is not.

Like you said. 50-100 (really??? I really SHOULD calculate). Not 1 set. To feed 1 staff.

Really get irritated by those kids' mentality of 'I paid alot for this phone so I expect what I want".

They should get an ihavealotoffreeupgradesbecauseappleisfrigginrichPhone instead.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Please, put SE devs in a shrine, you really touched my heart with those words!

And thanks for calling me a kid, you made me feel young although Im older than 20 :D

Don't coddle SE, we know their salaries are enough to have a decent life. I understand the part of the production cost, materials, parts etc. but after all, selling phones is a good business with great money rewards, and the proof of that is SE has more than 10 years in the market. A business that is not really a business simply won't work and the headers would be crazy if they keep investing on it when there are only bad results, no sales and lost. But SE is NOT the case, we have recently seen their financial reports and an increase has been detected in the past 2010. So no, they aren't suffering, the other way around, they're in a really privileged position and I won't deny that's thanks to some good work they have done. My point is that SE sometimes acts with a rude and 'squared' mind and they don't see beyond than their own conclusions.

But I won't get into a debate with SE defenders again. It's very pro vs. different opinions from not SE lovers.

And hey, watch your words, buddy. As far as I remember I haven't whined like a kid saying "damn SE!" or "I will never but a SE phone again 'cause they fail at life!". Read my posts. I know my english is deficient but at least I try to argue when is required. And according to my experience, only 13 years old kids or younger put faces like -___- or =X (no offense).
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
My numbers are in US$, but let's see. If you figure full retail price of $1,000 each for 5 phones that's $5,000 a year salary or $100 a week or $2.50 an hour with 2 weeks vacation without pay. McDonald's pays $8 hour. That means 50 phones at $1,000 is $50,000 a year which is an average starting income in the USA for an trained programmer. I'm guessing average retail price is really around $500, so that would take 100 phones. Also remember that SE sells the phones at wholesale and in bulk lowering the price to around $250. It's the retailer who then doubles the price and resells the phone at retail, so the number of phones per developer's salary is probably over 200 per year. Then remember they have been working on the X10 for almost 2 years, so that would double it again to 400 X10's.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
This. Very wise, bud.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
There's ALOT of things missing in that calculation. You're entirely forgetting taxes for one thing. Id say more like 800-1000 X10 per employee.. To make it go even. Looking at their sales of it, they broke that and quite beyond that too.

Perhaps also worth mentioning in this is that in Sweden where SE main office is, they're actually being sued for this atm. The case is currently in "preparation" as in the courts have been notified that a lawsuit will be turned in shortly. The claim in the lawsuit (draft) isnt that 2.3 was promised, but that support is ending far too quickly. Swedish consumer rights law demand 3 years of service for a product designed to hold atleast that long. And a cellphone has previously been ruled to have a lifespan of more than 5 years. Smartphones might differ but no ruling on that as of yet, hence this lawsuit. While SE isnt saying they're ending support, the lawsuit however brings up that SE only have a 2 year aim of support, but also takes up that fullfilling 3 years of support while refusing to update the system to fix the bugs that exist, isnt actually supporting it at all. Im gonna keep a close eye if they ever finish that lawsuit (my guess it'll be settled outside of courts before it even begins but hey).
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I know, it was just a basic illustration. Very interesting info on the lawsuit. Surprised this isn't all over xda. I don't know the correct terminology for civil court, but they would have a witness list a mile long if they looked here for evidence.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
All this is assuming that SE makes only 1 phone.

But guess what - a developer could work on more than 1 project.. also a lot of the codebase is shared among SE phones. I work in a similar field( graphics cards) and I can tell you that there is no way SE will make a loss by providing 2 years of support. It is just a matter of how big a profit margin they want.

Edit: Wanted to add that 9 million Xperia phones were sold in 2010 (including minis and X8). Now obviously we have ignored the money needed for R&D, marketing, production costs etc. Still, 9,000,000 is a big number
