[XPERIA X10 General] dx.varun:
Hello,

I have a serious issue to discuss...

I owed a second hand Xperia 10 (months before) ... It got dead for strange reason.. was without warrenty ... had to be sold for dead that time.. ( i was also new to android that time) .. Had worst experiance..

Then I bought a NEW X10 now with warrenty...

touch wood .. Uptill now .. I have no issue with the phone .. But ..

My biggest worry is that with 5 months warrenty left..

WHAT TO DO WITHOUT WARRENTY?? SE doesnt extent warrenty..!!:mad::mad:

So i think we shud be prepared ... for the worst (which happened to me) ..

Is there any alternative way to buy a new motherboard from any other site??

coz SE sells motherboard for almost the same price of the phone..!:eek:

or even doesnt care about their phone which are out of warrenty...

Secondly, Is our motherboards are of LOW Quality ..??

coz there are hundereds of users faceing motherboard problems .. same issues..

rebooting.. bla... bla!!:(

Lastly..

The thread have 4 main issues..

1. Where to buy cheap motherboard replacement for our lovely X10 if SE board goes bad..

2. Isnt the Board repairable AT ALL..:eek:

3. Why we all have been shipped with a poor quality motherboard.. for a phone for $500+

4. What to do after warrenty ends.. ( selling off is the last option..)
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
ebay

amazon

they almost have evrything of x10..body,digitizer,motherboard...just take care of the phone it wont die just like that...probably the 2nd hand x10 you bought had a problem and thats why its previous owner sold it ...

As some of you might have noticed, the Amazon Kindle App is quite good.

Unfortunately you have to pay for ebooks which are usually available for free on the Internet (e.g.: Programming Windows Phone 7, sold for 22.53$ :mad:, available for free on: http://www.charlespetzold.com/phone/).

So I tried to convert it to the used prc format, et voilà it's working.

So here's what you have to do:

Download http://www.mobipocket.com/en/downloadsoft/productdetailscreator.asp or any other Program, capable of converting pdf to prc.

When the conversion is done, apply the registry hack, so that your phone will show up in Windows Explorer. (http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/18/use-your-windows-phone-7-device-as-a-portable-usb-drive/) Remember to close Zune. Otherwise it won't work.

Copy the newly created *.prc file to your phone. If not already done, install TouchXplorer and go to My Documents\Zune\Content\0400\03 and cut the newly created file (It will be renamed to*.z)

Paste it to Applications\Data\48195FB4-EE0E-9264...\Data\IsolatedStore\kindle

Now rename the file so you will remember the it (e.g. programming.prc).

Start up Kindle and the newly added book should be available.

Let me know if it works for you too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Pdauser92:
Works perfectly.... thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jplayer01:
Works fine, thanks. However, would be nice if you linked the USB hack in your post. Also, (this confused me at first) the storage doesn't show up if you use WPConnect or have Zune running.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Audio:
It works fine but the book (i tried the Programming WP7 one too) isn't really readable. The text is all over the place and it's also alot larger than the other books (despite my settings being smallest font possible).

Is there a way to make it more "Phone Friendly"?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bleui:
does it only support prc format?

edit: nevermind, it supports mobi too apparently
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] varunverma:
worked ... flawlessly

thanks Bro..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Instead of TouchXplorer, you can use Advanced Explorer - it supports doing this automatically. It can both copy files to your phone from the PC (without the PC registry hack) and can sideload .mobi files for you (or you can use the copy-paste functionality just like in TouchXplorer).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] atmonline:
Advanced Explorer for mobile or pc? where i get it? is it work with samsung focus?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
It's a homebrew phone app. You can find the link right here on this forum. You ned developer unlock of course, as with all these other options.

Samsung suppport is in progress, but I don't know how far along it is.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mlekas:
Why can't you just email the PDF to your @kindle.com account? That's the standard way of getting free books in PDF format to your Kindle, and then it's available to all your Kindle devices as well. I mean I get following this hack if you want to convert non-PDF files, but for MSWord, PDF and MOBI files it's automatic.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k2land_trans?nodeId=200505520

[EDIT] - Following the instructions from Amazon above, I see they give you a download link to the converted file. You still need to copy the file to your Kindle or Phone, so this hack is still valid. However, if you do mail to your @free.kindle.com email address, you can get it in native (.azw) format.

anyone has stock or a JS3 based rom installed and is able to use MVNOs (bob, yesss, 3, ....) without enabling data roaming?

now i have installed Darky 9.2 and it does not work with data roaming disabled on mobile virtual network operator "bob" in austria. i would like to know, if it will work on stock or Doc`s rom before i try it and have to install all again after a wipe.

here is one report that it should work, but it is the only one i can find via google:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3499#c132
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbal:
Hello,

I'm on a Belgian MVNO network, and i'm able to use 3G with data roaming disabled on stock JS3 (APN manually configured).

We have only 3 operators here, but at least 15 or 20 MVNO's :D

Don't know if it will work for you in Austria, but here it works :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paratox:
thanks for replying! so i think darky`s 9.2 isn`t really based of JS3 or only partly, cause u have to enable data roaming for MVNOs. i will try doc`s, or if this doesn`t work the stock one and deodex it for theming.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmost:
Hello to all members,

I am totally new to this forum and I love it from the very first impression.

I am noob and I know nothing much about android, however I have started to read a lot on this forum. Thanks to all those nice helping guys around.

I am about to buy an android mobile, And, in my budged Sony Xperia X8 and LG Optimus One fits best. I am in great confusion about which phone i should buy.

What i think is X8 is definitely not going to get 2.2 update. But I liked it`s music quality. And in some review, i read that internet browsing his smoother on it than O1. Is that really true?

I want to use lot of internet and music. Please can someone help me out with this?

I done much googling on this, and finally created this thread.

So, in short i wanted to ask you guys to please help about following-

1)can I use those android mobiles as modem, i run windows XP

2)Is it better than symbian s60 ? I am using nokia n72 from past 4 years. Should I switch myself to android?

3)considering internet experiance, which mobile is better?

are there any good browsers available there for more better experiance?

4)according to your experiance, which one should i really buy?

I am waiting eagerly for your responses as I had lot of panic in deciding between these two mobiles. Also, if you know any mobile within same price range let me know.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Wireless/USB Tethering, i guess. Most new Android phones come with this :) Though I'm not sure if this applies to Eclair (2.1)

I would say yes. Android is much more open and customizable than Symbian. However, Symbian devices require much less CPU and RAM. And in case you ask me, I'd go for Android.

Both of them have a 320x480 resolution, so as screen readability is concerned, I think they're the same. Both don't have flash. There are many browsers are there designed for different kinds of goals. Skyfire, for instance, aims to be able to play those flash videos, even though the phone doesn't have flash player.

By the way, I think the X8 doesn't have multitouch, so no pinch zoom. Pinch zoom is important for me :) O1 scores here.

O1, since we're going to get (hopefully) Gingerbread soon enough. + multitouch (though buggy), it's newer, bigger RAM and internal memory, etc. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaylapeno:
It pretty much answers itself when you post the question in optimus one forum lol, personally I was also considering x8, but since I'm a techie, one look at the ram on x8 (I believe its 128mb) compared to 512mb on optimus one, it was a clear decision.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmost:
Thanks!

Thanks so much for your reply AzNxJoHnNy. Yeah, As you said, I am almost about to buy O1. I think I will come to know more once I got my own hands on it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmost:
Thank you so much!

Hey kpbotbot, Thank you so much for your efforts and a VERY quick reply. I think I should go for O1 now. Are there any more mobiles you can suggest? just asking.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Nokia 1100

Google it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
No problem. That's the power of being stuck at home lol. Anyway, here are other phones I considered in the same price range:

1. HTC Wildfire - didn't choose because of screen resolution (240x 320, too low).

2. Samsung Galaxy Spica - I thought there was no multitouch, is old (yeah, for me), no official Gingerbread (considering the fact that the decision was made last december 2010)

3. Galaxy 3/5 - Screen resolution, no Gingerbread.

4. Optimus Chic - I couldn't wait for the release. It was a good decision on choosing the O1 though, since there is no Chic subforum here in xda afaik.

5. Maybe I forgot some other phones. These were my best choices last December :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Motorola defy is the next step forward from these phones. Google for it's specs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] anotherloony:
The only + X8 has over O1 is headphone audio quality. O1 is pain for ears, even with good headphones.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sirkula:
What do I have to do, install, change or what ever so my PC Companion recognizes new update. I'm always last one to get it :-). New update (2.1.1.A.0.6 build) is available for a few days now but PC Companion still showing that my phone is up to date. I don't care losing languages and settings etc. for my country, I just need english :-)...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Buddha:
Find it here on xda and install it :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
You are not the last one. I have German generic firmware, and it takes me long time to receive the update. And unfortunately, although I also use English, I HAVE TO wait for German version because of the keyboard layout.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] beppefusilli:
Hi all,

just to add my experience on this. I was like, I couldn't receive any update on time.

But if you try to run PC Companion with Administrative rights (in Vista and Windows 7), it'll pick the update.

Or try using SEUS (and run it with Administrative rights).

I got the latest update the next day when it was launched (it was a week ago or so).

Also, if your phone is locked by a network, you have to wait for the network to approve the update. My phone is Factory unlocked (unrooted!).

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I have an unlocked (no provider) phone in Germany and it isn't out here yet.. so your not allways the last person.. and to think.. some people still havn't got 2.1 update yet!! so you shouldn't complain. :p

And I was really excited about getting ANT support :rolleyes:

not in too much of a hurry for this update.... doesn't offer me anything new (and all my Xrecovery install Themes won't work) I'm happy to stick with .24 for a while longer.

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sirkula:
Not very helpfull answers :D ...but I found a solution for rooted phones:

With Root explorer copy attached build.prop to /system folder also recommended to backup "keyprint.xml" in system/usr/keyboard-config for keyboard layout. then restart phone start PC Commpanion -> Update - > Repair and you'll have 2.1.1.A.0.6 build. :D

you can read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944244

and this for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826875
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
they're releasing it by region i guess. give it a few more days or a week. :)

you can try SEUS since that's the one that i've used and it detected the new update.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
That is a helpful answer.. and its what a lot of us did to get original Nordic 2.1 last year.. but I just don't think this update is worth screwing with my build.prop, it would just mean installing JIT again.. and then trying to get it back to my Region once its released here.. I Agree.. if you really really want 2.1.1.A.0.6 then go for it.. (and enjoy your ANT features :p) I think I can wait.

Thanks for mentioning this method anyway, good to teach the noobs :)

[G Tablet General] SaxDude:
I'm new here - I just bought my g-tablet last week.

I installed Clockwork, and then Tnt Lite. On Saturday, the capacitive buttons stopped working, both in Clockwork and on the running system.

- anyone else have the keys stop working?

-Is there any fix for the buttons?

-Is there any way to get clockwork to use another input method besides the home and back keys?

I saw a reference to draining the battery - I tried that to the point the rom didn't have enough power to finish booting, but couldn't figure out a way to completely drain it.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] powercrazy:
If your buttons stopped working out of the blue while in TnT Lite I could put that down to a problem with your install of the ROM but because you have said that they've also stopped working in clockwork (which is a completely different piece of software) I'd probably say you have a hardware fault/problem. I would honestly recommend that you bring your tablet back for a new one seeing as you only have it a week.
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
For the Running System (while in TNT) "Button Savior" you can use that to navigate around the OS.

Also "AnReboot 1.2" which will allow you to reboot your device or reboot into recovery mode. I uploaded these apk's for you below.

As for while in Recovery mode I tried to see if the power button worked as input but it didn't.

All I can recommend is restore to a previous backup via ROM Manager (if you have it installed as an app on TNT). If all else fails you may want to try and return it for another one but you need to remember your warranty is now void because you altered your device. With any luck the vendor won't check to see if the device was messed with.

Good Luck
[G Tablet General] SaxDude:
I tried the AnReboot - and it didn't seem to help. I also tried ROM Manager.

The problem is that recovery mode always brings up Clockwork, and I can't use it without the buttons working. I saw instructions for removing clockwork, but they have you do some steps in CW!

I found some NVFlash stuff by Roebeek, so I hope that wipes everything, and gets me back to plain TnT before I return this thing.

Someone at work suggested there might be a root detector onboard somewhere that disables those buttons - does that sound plausible?
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
If there is a so called "Root Detector" it hasn't spotted my rooted device, so I'm guessing said detector is not prevailant in the GTAB.

I'm not sure but you might be able to flash a ROM Via the ADB method. you will need to set up your pc to detect your device via USB and you will need to learn how to use ADB.

GUIDE ADB for your GTAB on Windows

GUIDE ADB for your GTAB on UBUNTU

I'm guessing you have a challenge before you, and that is figure out how to either fix your GTAB, or get it back to OUT of the BOX Stock.

Search the forums on here, they are OVERFLOWING with info on how to do just about anything you want to the GTAB.

Good Luck!
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I guess your friend was probably referring to a rootkit? But since the buttons don't work even when you're in CWM, that'd mean that it'd have to have booted before recovery itself.

When you're in CWM, you can ADB into the Gtab. If you can do that, maybe someone on the IRC channel can help you try to determine if it's even seeing button presses, e.g., by looking at dmesg output or something. A long shot tho...

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I'm curious. How do you flash via ADB?

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I don't know the answer to the question that I'm about to ask, but does CWM work w a USB keyboard? It wouldn't be too hard to test, and if it does work you could then flash that way?

Jim
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
I mean to say I'm not sure if it is possible,

I'm just trying to help the guy, how about contributing instead of taking shots??
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I apologize if my post sounded that way :(!! I really was just curious if there was a way to do a flash using ADB...

Sorry about that!

Jim
[G Tablet General] SaxDude:
OK - I was able to reflash the tab via APX from Roebeet's post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

The post has instructions and all the executables and NVflash images you need. I couldn't get any of my windows boxes to recognize the APX device, so I had to boot my Linux box to run the linux apps - it worked perfectly with that.

It restored it to factory TnT firmware, but appeared to leave my user info intact. Buttons still don't work, so I've wiped out the user info and I'm sending it back today.

Kudos to Roebeet!

Dear all,

It seems that a new ROM is appearing on KIES this afternoon. Several Dutch people have claimed the following update notice:

I9000XWJS5

My firmware version is JS3/JPY/JS3, the official dutch 2.2.1 update that was removed from Kies a few days after i installed it.

The FUS server still says the newest version is JP2 (froyo, cause 2.2.1 was removed).

Bit weird...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kunjar:
This is definitely a good sign, samsung pushing out updates for its current flagship model, then again 10+ million sales is good motivation for such.

However when S2 arrives and is publicly announced, i hope they dont forget about us 10 mill users. SGS is a powerful piece of hardware and im sure whatever they throw at the S2 our GS will be able to handle also.

Hats of to sammy for pushing out releases. Obviously they are working hard at fixing bugs :)

Can somebody post the build date of this ROM if it's known yet?

I'm hoping it has some nice improvements in browser for instance and that Doc will make a new version :)

Also, it's possible that if this release has a newer kernel than the current JPX or JPY kernel, that Samsung will release the new source code.

But more likely that it uses the same kernel and has other improvements to system, but we'll see :)

Overall I'm pretty happy with my SGS but I wish it had two things: better reception indoors, and better battery life :)

How are you guys "Tweaking Kies" ? I thought you could not spoof the region code in Kies 2 and that the Kies hacker on the forum no longer worked.

No need to tweak Kies, just flash back to JPA and you can update your SGS to JS5.
