[Xoom General] SS2006:
I know that most videos cant play when thrown on xoom and must be converted and what not

but i wanted to ask has anyone tried playing untouched vids (mkv, avi) etc..

on Rockplayer or QQplayer (from market) does it work? (even 720p ones)

EDIT: Ima answer my own question here using an atrix 4g (same processor)

and its no (atleast for true 720p video, around 4 mbps bitrate), it stutters

the players arent optimized yet.

HOWEVER, converting in baseline profile for the xoom/atrix, you can do ANYTHING! (using badaboom)

even a 10mbps, 1920x1080p video, plays flawlesslY! what a beast (vid is below if you wanna test)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blagus:
I've made bundles for FlashTool, for X8i and X8a, with basebands 006 and 015.

Kernel and baseband are related to each other, so if you have baseband 006, you'll have 2.0.2.A.0.24 kernel, and with baseband 015 you'll get 2.1.1.A.0.6 kernel.

If you try to flash latest kernel to phone with baseband 006, you'll get infinite boot loops. This can be fixed by simply flashing correct bundle (kernel/baseband).

This will NOT wipe userdata!

All basebands are in Xperia X8 folder on Mediafire.

Currently, these basebands are available:

X8i - E15i

Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24

Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6

X8a - E15a

Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24

Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6

Every baseband version is: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534040xy where xy is either 06 or 15, depending on which baseband you flash.

Update: jerpelea's CM7, racht's ports, as-mario's MIUI and ponanovn's MiniCM port are all made for latest kernel and baseband 015. Nice to see that, thanks ;)

Enjoy, and be careful, don't brick the phone, and if you do, don't blame me, you're doing this on your own risk! ;)

what is the advantage of this?? not meaning to be rude
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] oisteink:
The advantage is that you can change baseband as it please you. Why you'd want to I have no clue :)

hi i did yesterday flash the bundle for x8i

Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6

but the setting says that i have kernel

kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24

and baseband 015

but i dont have any looping like you said. did i do something wrong!

how i know that my phone is i or a! i have a E15i!!!!

now i installed the mini cm and its working? why, my kernel was not on the newest version.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] aldee_s:
He said "If you try to flash latest kernel to phone with baseband 006"

not to flash latest baseband to phone with old kernel. this is your status, you flash the latest baseband to old kernel.

what blagus said about infinite bootloops is when you flash the latest kernel (2.1.1) to phone with baseband 006, your case is the opposite. understand?

I try to flash the whenever i flash it says driver error to reinstall driver in flashtool folder, PC Companion run ok and install gordon gate also show i got latest driver,

but still got driver need to reinstall, what is the problem expert
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
Does PC Companion get your device into flash mode? If so, then redownload flashtool. If not - get your X8 connected and go into hardware manager of your computer, find your connected phone and erase all the drivers, then reinstall PC Companion for new drivers.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lim_ryan:
done that, uninstall everything and driver,

start all over again but result still the same,

keep asking to install and reinstall driver from driver folder

My X8 firmware is 2.1 update 1 with baseband 06 build version 2.0.2.a.0.24

I have an infinte loop when using this file "Baseband 006 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_006.7z"

EDITED:

when i use "Baseband 015 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.7z", i have my baseband in 015, but the build number become 2.0.1.a.0.47.

if i want to upgrade to 2.1.1.a.0.6, what baseband should i use? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] rdoggsv:
Hello guys, just one quick question, why is it that upgrading to baseband 15 from 06 the phone requests the sim network unlock code?

I am using the same SIM card, and the sim card belongs to the phone operator, so i don't understand why is it asking for network unlock code if it is the same sim.

I have found a couple of threads here on xda that recommend to click on the Dismiss button, but if i do that, i don't get any signal.

I have donwgraded again to 06, when i did the upgrade to 15 i also installed floyo 1.0 via xrecovery and everything loaded perfectly except that i have no signal, so it is useless.

I have tried going manually to the settings of mobile networks, but it says that it is not able to register on the network.

Thank you for any tips,

Regards
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] biscoitu:
Did you tried flashing your phone by SEUS to upgrade this directly from SE???
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] rdoggsv:
Thanks for replying biscoitu, the phone came with 1.6, so i changed the SI because mine was not ready for 2.1. The new software that was updated via PC Companion is:

2.0.1.A.0.47 with baseband 06, 2.1-update1

And it is working fine, but now the pc companion says that its up to date, and it is not updating to the latest baseband, so i downloaded the ones included in this thread and flashed with flashtool, when i reboot i get asked for the network unlock code, if i dismiss it does not work.

I don't understand why it asks for it, if it is the same sim card. I have visited a couple of websites that sell codes for the x8 but when i confirm with my IMEI they say that they don't have available.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] biscoitu:
Do you have e15a or e15i device?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] rdoggsv:
it's an e15a, thank you
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] biscoitu:
It seems that you have a locked phone. Which files did you flash on phone?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] rdoggsv:
The phone is working normally with the "Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24", but if i use the flashtool and flash the "Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6", when i reboot the phone it asks for the sim network unlock, and i am using the same sim card that came originally with the phone. So what i did is that i flashed back the "Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24" and it works again.

Pc Companion and also SEUS, state that the phone is running the latest version, i believe it is due to the SI that is updated only to that baseband/kernel.

What i don't understand is why flashing the new baseband and kernel will give this type of error, i am not trying to put another sim card, i am using the same that the phone should detect as the sim card that it is locked to.

Thank again for your help.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] biscoitu:
when I upgrade my phone, I did the same, flashed new baseband and new kernel, but my phone came with 2.1-update 1 already, I don´t know if it makes any difference Then I rooted my phone, and flashed the files with flashtool, and it works like a charm. I really don´t have any clue about this issue :/
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] rdoggsv:
Well i even went ahead and flashed one of the FW in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9863588 , with flashtool i selected "E15a android 2.1.1 SI 1243-9502 Sony http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U4FWILXI (2.1.1.A.0.6)"

And i receive the same error, that it requests the network unlock code, then i reflashed again the baseband 06 included in this thread and it is working fine again.

I am considering to keep the kernel of 2.1.1.A.0.6 but to upgrade only the baseband, do you know how this could be done?

I was reading that the kernel included with baseband 06 could work with the baseband of 15, but not the opposite. So i am looking for a way to upgrade only the baseband but can't find how to do it.

Thank you

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
Hey guys, i thought id share an app i found on the market with you guys since i dont really hear much mention about it here. Its called "quickpic" by "alansw.com". It has immediately become my favorite photo/video viewer ever. Its extremely fast loading and excellent quality. Its probably what mediascape should have been. Anyways, in my opinion it has every other app of its kind beat hands down...go ahead, download it and try it out...i think youll be impressed to.

:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mayazcherquoi:
Thank you :)

Am liking it already, except for the non pre-thumbnail loading of images when browsing :-/ Although removing such a feature does speed up application launch, no doubt, I'd just prefer if it did :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
It does show thumbnails previews while browsing....check in the app settings. :)

I Just seen the Elocity A10 listed on tiger.

64GB $699

32GB $599

4GB $449 the 16GB not even listed on tiger

WLAN N

Claiming true multi touch this time for A10's

still ships with 2.2 froyo

Looks like the same pointless 1.3mp cam and still front facing(yes I know web cam)

with all the extra space you would think they would switch to full size SD

I truly have nothing against the elocity. I have an A7 with the 1.3 dex mod loving it, but wife wants it so I'm gonna spring for a Enspert Identy tab E201U. Looks promising and very comparable.

I am soo tempted right now to take my A7 back and get this A10 for just an extra 100 dollars to spend. I wonder if it is even worth it. If SteamTV can't release a fix for the sdram issue or at least add upgrade to gingerbread, I'm going to A10.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] EnOleEikka:
Hi!

I know that there is no multitasking on WP7 currently. However, I noticed that on HTC WP7 phones, there is some settings to control the ring tone volume. Things like, turn it off if the phone is turned upside down or make it ring louder if in pocket. I have Omnia 7 and I don't have such settings.

So, obviously, HTC has been able to write a program that is running in the background and monitoring the sensors (and based on that, change the sound levels). Or have I completely misunderstood what they do? :confused:

And the real question is then, how can I do the same? :D

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jonkong:
My understanding is, "normal" developers can't do such things. HTC can because they are device manufacturers and as such are "allowed" to make native/un-managed calls to hardware, like LG can with their augmented reality app. :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mupets_revenge:
Yeh, if your not an oem or big time customer you have to write in c# managed code and don't get any direct access.

can someone modify the facebook app to allow the places function to work in south africa?

[Desire General] davebugyi:
Same here. Possibly in the new version. IDK about modifying.
[Desire General] eden2812:
You really would have to wait.

The last time I tried "Places" for my country on my HTC, it was unavailable, but BB and iPhone users could do it.

As of today (or actually, the middle of last month), apparently now all smartphone users in Singapore (not here though :( ) are able to use Facebook "Places".

I'm not sure how reliable any of this information is, but apparently there are a lot of factors to consider when using places, such as your phone model, and even your carrier - which apparently, relates to your ISP??

Apparently some carriers are recognized by Facebook, and some only after some updates from Facebook.

I quote this guy's blog.

With the new NFC module updates that came in with 2.3.3, I think this might be a cool idea.

So basically, the card acts as the key to get into my Nexus S.

Hey guys,

Last friday I bought the POV tablet and I really love it.

I've got MoDaCo rom on it and it works neatly.

However I do have one small issue, I can litteraly see the battery percantage drop 2% per minute. I'm not pulling this out of proportion. This means I can only use the device for an hour or so! When the screen is dimmed, the battery doesn't drain at all.

Now if I had owned this tablet for a year it would've been fine, but I only purchased it last friday!

What's wrong here?

Thanks!

Nice layout

No sprint bloatware

Overclocked Kernel preferably EB13 (Don't know if this has been done yet)

Bluetooth for music functioning along with voice (using a motorola roadster for my car)

Few if no force closes

midNght v4.1 ... has all of what you're looking for.

It has all the standard apps as separate flashable zips. So you start off with a very bare ROM and build it up yourself.

It uses an overclocked kernel 1.2 when using setCPU

It is solid and speedy

its EB13 as well.

(no matter what rom you choose; you should start off by using odin and the eb13 tar that already has recovery and root in it; thread is in the dev area)
