[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockiano:
---------UPDATE------02-03-2011--------------

Today after some time i noticed when playing with the camera a little response to the touch but it seemed random after that i ran the align screen program and after a few tries it seemed to work correctly, this is estrange since i had previously run the program quite a few times without any result.

I will continue the testing and inform you.

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

Hello guys I just got a xperia-x1 to play with, but when i turn it off the screen is not working when i touch it either with my fingers or the stylus.

My first reaction was a hard reset of the phone which didn't work, then i tried installing android but the rom i installed asked me to touch the screen to start so i was stuck at the same place, after that i have tried flashing using some roms but the screen is still dead.

I think this is a hardware problem but is there anything i can do to verify it?

And what part should i get to fix it?

Unfortunately i don't know if the device has been in any kind of accident.

Thank you for your help.

Im not a troll.....or promoting. Just answering the most asked question with a easy to use rom. I titled this hoping itwould pop up in noob searches.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
Yeah, I can see that. However, IMHO, to know which one is suitable you all need to test it yourself.

I tried most of all available roms here, and I experienced that some rom works some dont (even if others said it works).

You will know what is "best" rom suitable for you after you testing it ;)

Cheers...

Don't you think the title of this thread is a little bit offensive? I'm absolutely on your side, because you are right, those people who are always asking "what is the best ROM?" and "which one is the fastest" are annoying me too. But I'm pretty sure no one likes to be called a noob :D

I am a noob and was just looking for how to run Android on my HD2 and came across this post. Good timing. Sometimes it's like running a gauntlet just trying to find a simple answer or instructions. There just seems to be SO many threads.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
What do you mean by iPhone? Tbh I like it. I'm not a huge Apple fanboy (or else I'd have an iPhone) but this ROM gives you the best of both worlds. What both OS' do very well. I just arrange all my apps into folders. I'd rather that than have a long scrollable list. :p

The MIUI backup is also a great feature too. :D

This is the Q&A and General forum....not sure why mods on this forum even let these threads stay up...that's my 2 cents. Hence the thread is neither a question or a answer but a comment and opinion, and just clutter IMO barely even general.

It's general too. Where else would it go? Development? NO WAY. Themes and Apps? No as it's neither of those so it has to go here. :p

Whenever I'm charging my captivate. The charger is loose and does not stay tight.

If I move the charger a little bit, it stops charging or recognize it as USB...

I'm using the standard charger that you get along with your captivate.

Are anyone of you experiencing the same problem? Is there a solution?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
Same thing is happening to me, I don't k ow why.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d34thp1ng:
I found this usually only happens when the door covering the usb port isn't opened all the way. Make sure yours is open all the way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivy26:
Make sure u slide the charger cover all the way open is only thing I can guess might be wrong
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aglebot:
Make sure the sliding door is all of the way open. It tends to stick, and then the connector doesn't click in place. If the door is all of the way open then the connector will stay in place firmly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Yeah that's the normal issue (the door not clicking open). Also, the stockcharger has little hook/protrusions that tends to hold it a bit better as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
I always had my sliding thing fully opened.. the charger just doesnt seem to stay in place.. for ex. When my phone is on the ground charging, and if i pick up my phone, the charger tilts to the left which causes my phone to think its a usb..

Should i just get another charger? Any recommendation for one?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikonomi:
Yep, my OEM charger eventually became so loose that it would fall out unless the phone was propped up vertically. I read about crimping or adjusting the socket itself with needle nose pliers, but this didn't work for me. The only solution I found was to purchase another micro USB cable. So far my third party ones all fit fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubgray:
yeah likely the door or the cable
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burstaholic:
I think it's partly the Samsung adapter and MicroUSB in general. Mine's not that bad, but third party ones do seem to hold better, if not as well as some other connectors.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnJr2233:
Its the stock adapter you get with the phone. After a while the prongs wear out. Third party chargers are excellent and a made more heavy duty and tight fitting. Thus they last longer.

Hey everyone!

First post, woo-hoo!

Anyway, I am still rocking a Motorola RAZR v3 and currently looking to upgrade. The HD2 seems to be everyone's favorite phone around here, and the flexibility looks awesome. My question is, will AT&T force me to buy a data plan? Can I turn off EDGE? (I know I can not access 3G, but wifi is fine).

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Used to be on AT&T and they will not force you on a data plan as long as you don't tell them you are using a smartphone. Just make sure to get an unlocked HD2 and slip your RAZR SIM card into the HD2 and you should be good to go. You will only be in EDGE and not have access to 3G. Not sure if you are able to turn off EDGE. 3G you can turn off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
i just did this yesterday.. i went out and bought a cheap 15 dollar go phone

that had internet on it and just slapped my sim in it and of course no internet

so had to call them and they set me up with the 10 dollar unlimited plan

from the 25 dollar smartphone plan

the funny part was the guy kept saying do you have a blackberry i was like um no i have a fuze and this cheap samsung a197 ..he says the imei is coming back to a crackberry

so i read off the a197 imei and he got it registered ..so im thinking the hd2 shows up as a crackberry so just dont call them LOL and yes only edge works and make sure you check use only 2g network
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Emoslayer8:
Ok so heres the deal on this. I was to cheap to buy data plan when i had my iphone. I bought it off a buddy. so when i got my hd2 and unlocked it thru some website. i slapped my sim card into it. still did not have a data plan. it connected to edge and updated weather horray.....not so much. so now i was dreading buying a data plan.

well i went on line to check what my options were and my phone was not listed. it says i have some old ass nokia. legitly.....(i think this is becouse its a t-mobile IMEI number or sumthing) non the less i went on to the add a plan online. and it offered me the 15 dollar a month unlimited data plan for all att crappy phones!!! YESSSHHH

i was so happy.

The only complaint i have is that the US Tmobile branded HD2 the one i own, has the same freq for edge(2g) but a dif freq for 3g. sooooo if you are using this phone on att. you will never ever have 3g service, the hardware wont even support it. there are HD2s that support it but not the tmobile ones.

Best of luck. and i hope my deal with att isint a fluke, it makes sence that They dont have the IMEI. Like how they can track iphones and smartphones and rape you for cash. but they cant with a tmobile phone.

haha
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mtwaldman:
I am on ATT and you can have them BLOCK DATA for you

If you own your phone outright and it is not an ATT phone, you can request them to block data(and texting if you want to). I have been using my HD2 for about a year with the data plan blocked and wifi only for data.

I recommend going into a store, I have found them to be very helpful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
its dead easy to turn off data completely, (and leave mms working)

most roms have a power widget which has a data toggle, or you just delete the apn.

For networks that use single data/mms apn's, just change the APN type to only say mms, so it only uses it for mms, and perhaps delete the username/password/apn entries so that it cant connect even if it tried, but leaving the mms settings intact.

For networks with one apn for data, one for mms, just delete the data one.

However, when you are only getting edge, the network handles it more like voice rather than data anyway, (think dialup vs broadband) so they wont mind as much that you dont have a proper smartphone plan in the same way they would if you had hsdpa clogging up their network.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] koekiemonsterjr:
I just switched to AT&T from T-mobile, Only cause i call mexico a lot, and they're the only ones to offer a decent plan for mexico. Anyways, I had an HD2, i went with the Inspire, cause it's basically the same phone just with soft keys, and a better camera, but if i'm not mistaken, everything under the hood is the same. It comes with Android, and should you ever want data, it's there.

But, I'm pretty sure you out to be able to just buy one and put your sim in it, and they'll never care right? I haven't priced them, i bought my inspire while switching over. But then you just tell it to only use 2g networks and you should be fine i would think
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
nope if you bought a inspire locked to att it will automatically register as a smartphone and they will nail you with the 25 dollar 2 gb plan

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tomsqualm:
Hi,

I would like to ask if it's possible to add, customize the Call apps and Contacts apps (which are default) in Android.

My idea is that when you open the Contact list, click on someone there, the screen will display information (Number, Call, SMS now) and I want to add another button under all, so that when you hit, it'll call the user via VOIP or do some function ...

Is it possible to customize the default apps? is there somewhere that I can have the source code of these apps?

What I really need is to add some more function into the Calls apps and Contacts apps but I really don't know where to begin it

Someone can help me?

Thanks in advance

No, it's not in the Samsung kernel yet
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
As far as I know Samsung took a **** with their Gingerbread ROM.

ROM-problems/bugs/killed features:

-RFS filesystem still

-No optimization for CPU AT ALL (compared to Nexus S or CM7)

-TW3...not even 4

-No TV-shutoff animation

-Some apps are not compatible with this Gingy build (mostly games)

Now the Vibrant-specific bugs is my bet:

-Terrible battery (there isn't source for this so it likely won't be fixed soon)

-Wifi likely to not work (though likely fixable)

-GPS won't work (though likely fixable)

-Hardware keys messed up and/or not working (fixable with source?)

-Camera won't work (though likely fixable)

-Audio problems of all sorts (fixable)

Not to be a downer but without source to work with, there simply are too many bugs with this is my thought. Just one of these "bugs" is enough to kill it for me for using this...and there's a long list in here. Using this as a base to make a daily driver ROM is probably not happening without the source. And the source is not coming for about a month likely.

Not to mention Samsung just massacred some of the coolest user features of Gingerbread (TV shut off, CPU and speed optimizations). :(

But good to know amazing devs are working on this. Perhaps a source leak may change hearts. Either that or a new CM update that fixes battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:

since the screen off animation is in framework, can we just bring it over to a 2.2 rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
nonononononononononononono
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
from what i can see in the anim folder inside the downloadable framework....theres 75 files.....whereas the 2.2 roms include 70....

so maybe those 5 extra files control the screen off animation

these are the extra xml files:

cycle_interpolator

lock_screen_enter*--i would imagine its this one

priority_alert_enter

priority_alert_exit

zzzzz_tw_cursor_controller_menu_show

could these be the ones controlling the screen off animation?

since in one of the OP's it said that in order to get the screen off animation, copy the framework and push it via root explorer....so yeah, that leads me to believe that this will work....let me know what you guys think
