Hey, I'm in the UK and just did an OTA update. Think it's dated March 29th. Anyway, now there are only 4 apps in the recent app section of the app drawer and it's really bugging me:. Anyone else have this?

Hi everybody. My Z Ultra was bricked after I accidentally connected a cheap OEM magnetic charger the wrong way round ("reverse charging" - I'm not the first person to do it) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/damage-to-z-ultra-magnetic-charger-t2806392 Power button produced a...

Did you try flashing the modem/BT partition like on the first page? I'm wondering if that works for us or just the people with the 02:00:00:00:00:00 MAC addresses

Has nobody found a fix? I really like my Moto Z but I need Bluetooth

I'm having a similar problem with mine, except the WiFi still works and the MAC addresses for the WiFi and Bluetooth are only one character apart. That's weird, isn't it?

Hi, I've got an old Z Ultra that I'd like to use as a tablet. It's the perfect size and spec for me. I can use it for browsing at home and then slip it in my pocket if I wanna take it with me. There's a problem though - there's a screen lock on it and I can't for the life of me remember the...

Hey everybody. I'm thinking of buying this tablet but I first want to know if it can use wifi and 4g at the same time, like the Download Booster feature on recent Samsung phones. This is a big deal for me as my internet connection is very poor (wifi signal is fine so things stay connected but...

Hey, I know it's cheeky but if it's still going, I'll have it :P I'll even give you something for it

Deleting VZWINTERNET APN Hey everybody! I've been using this phone for a while. Managed to root it thanks to Kado. Learned how to add APNs and all had been going well. However, I recently switched to Vodafone (which apparently owns Verizon) and I can't get a data connection at all. The...

possible workaround I've installed Handcent to replace the stock sms app and it seems to be working well so far. As far as I can tell, replies are successful and the number doesn't default to +44

I'm having this problem too, on a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere 2 that I imported from America (it's got a slide-out keyboard, we don't have them over here), also rooted and running on the three network. I've changed all my +447 contacts to 07 but texts only send successfully when I start a new...

Hello I live in the UK and am considering importing this phone (there aren't any recent slide-keyboard phones over here) BUT is it possible to use this as a wifi hotspot? So I can tether my other devices to it? This is very important for me but I understand that US carriers are a lot more...

Could you please try this method and see if it works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045754 ---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ---------- Also, one last question: is it possible to use this phone as a wifi hotspot, for tethering? This...

Hey everybody, I live in the UK and I'm desperate for a relatively new slider phone (we don't have any over here) Of course I would like to root, but I'm more interested in unlocking the sim. Is there a way to unlock it? I saw in another thread how to unlock the Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G for...

Hey, My Xperia Mini Pro (sk17i) is on its last legs and I need a replacement. However, I'm quite fond of the slide-out keyboard, which no recent UK phones seem to have. So I'll need to import one via eBay. Here are what I'm considering...

I'm a bit embarrassed to keep bumping this thread but I'm just checking for signs of life. Also, I was wondering - I've figured out how to get to the recovery menu (recorded here for posterity): (1) unplug everything (2) power off (3) hold power and vol(-) simultaneously (4) let go of the...

Any chance we can get a separate forum for the Archos 80 Cobalt? It's got a very large (mostly non-tech-savvy) userbase and it really needs the attention (hardware is great but the software is super-buggy)

Okay, I know how annoying it is when you google something like this and all you find is questions, so here's how I fixed it. I found this post on archosfans, by bluesmanuk: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=99&t=67881 +++START QUOTE (in case it gets moved or deleted)+++ Whilst trying...

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble rooting my Cobalt (Win7 Starter) I run runme.bat and it sticks at "daemon started successfully" I don't know whether I've installed the drivers properly. USB debugging is definitely enabled but when I plug it in to the USB port, it installs a few drivers...

Title says it all really. I know we can use WOTAN to do it, but is there any way to do it for free?

Are you seriously saying that having the bluetooth constantly switched-on and paired to the earphones gives a BETTER battery life? That's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The amps inside earphones are tiny and hardly draw any power at all. If we were talking about big home...

I've heard a lot of people say that the notification LED doesn't work but I've just updated to .587 with Wotanserver (generic central europe 3 - no ICS for the UK yet) and the LED works fine. I'm using an app called Light Manager.

Thanks for that. Will I be okay to use that on my UK mini pro? It says Central Europe. Also, what's the difference between Central Europe 1, 2 and 3?

Here's my homescreen. Just the stock mini pro home with custom icons from the market (metrostation) and the icon changer app. I think the icons would be better spaced if the stock home allowed 5 rows but hey ho - maybe I'll figure out how to edit it one day.

Thanks but I listen to music a lot on my phone and I can't spare the battery life. It's definitely a non-standard 3.5mm jack on my mini pro. I know because I've tried other earphones with it and the sound is distorted. Similarly, I've tried the pre-packaged earphones in other devices and there...

Hey everybody, I'm a bit fed up of waiting for ICS to be released for my mini pro (SI 1249-4852 - UK generic) I've rooted my phone and can edit the build.prop file to trick SEUS (or whatever it's called now) into downloading an update, but what should I change my SI to? Are there any generic...

Do you guys know of any in-line remote control earphones that work with the mini pro? I've been searching the internet and apparently, the mini pro has a non-standard 3.5 jack. If you plug some regular earphones in the socket or use the pre-packaged earphones in another device the sound gets...

Kinda off topic, but what sort of performance are you getting with the 64GB card? Are there any problems with compatibility? Would you mind running some speed tests on the card and posting the results?

Hey everybody! I love my Mini Pro but it seems to be running really slow lately. I notice it gets hot sometimes (especially when tethering) and I'm starting to wonder if the heat has damaged my phone and slowed it down... Using AnTuTu Benchmark Free (v2.9) I get a score of 2918 Using Quadrant...

Hi everybody. I have a UK Mini Pro with the SI number 1249-4852. It was bought from the Carphone Warehouse group on the 3 network, but came completely unlocked and free of operator branding (like all phones from Carphone Warehouse) Anyway, I'm desperate for ICS. It seems like I've been...

I have to agree with the OP. GPS on my mini pro is terrible. My old LG Optimus (the very first one) could get a precise location in seconds, but my mini pro sometimes takes 5-10 minutes, and has trouble keeping up with all the turns. Most of the time it only tells me to make a turn after I've...

Hi everybody, I'd like to boost 3g reception on my Mini Pro I removed the little black sticker near the rear speaker: And there was a little gold connector which looks a bit like a CRC9 connector (used by mobile broadband dongles, etc): So what is it? I've noticed that there's some empty...

Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I think I'll wait for ICS and then root it. No point going through all that hassle only to have it un-root. Also, I'm very security conscious and Flashtool seems to contain a virus. I know everybody says it's a false-positive and that the...

Hi everybody! I've tried clicking the search button but it's not working for me How do I root my 0.62 firmware Mini Pro, and will I still be able to get the official ICS release from Sony?

I really like the battery for this. Charges up really quick and lasts (for me) the full day. I think a better alternative to buying a higher-capacity battery would be to just buy a second official battery and keep it in your watch pocket (the little pocket on the front-right of your jeans) in...

I find the stock firmware pretty great, personally. The only thing that lets it down for me is the app drawer and the inability to delete/hide the pre-installed apps, so I'm using LauncherPro now. It's a shame I can't just use the LauncherPro app drawer and keep the default UI :(

Thanks guys It fixed itself after a reboot, strangely ---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ---------- Also, just in case he reads this part of the forum, I've got to give my thanks to Mur4ik for creating the rom - it's running better than ever now :)

I've just installed the latest version (RC4) and upon reboot everything was in Russian. I managed to change the system language to English by navigating blindly through the options but still half the apps in the app drawer are Russian! Any suggestions?

Hi Unixseb, I'm not sure if you missed my post (on the previous page) so here it is again :-) ...................................................................... "Hi Unixseb, I love the wallpaper, but is there any chance you could include an option to make the moon orbit more slowly? I...

Hi Unixseb, I love the wallpaper, but is there any chance you could include an option to make the moon orbit more slowly? I like the earth to rotate slowly (seems more realistic) but every few seconds the moon will come whizzing past and it ruins the effect. Also, it would be nice if we could...

Brilliant. Thanks for that. Although I prefer the sliding silencer of my old rom.

Hi, I'm running Mur4ik's Swiftdroid 1.8 and I'm mostly very impressed. HOWEVER, I can't figure out how to silence incoming calls. My old ROM let me slide right to answer the call and slide left to silence it (and slide left once again to reject the call). I can't figure out how to get this...
