Hello everyone.
I'm a happy user of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i. And ofc, when you get a phone like this, you will install lots of programs and that.
Now i have installed some programs, but now when i'm going to Android Market, then it's working like it should except for one thing.
When i go to the info on one program, then i can't go back without having to start from the beginning on the scrolling on the program list.
I know this wasn't happening right after i had reset my phone some few days ago.
So does anyone have any idea on what the problem can be?.
I really want to find out what the problem / issue is, since it sucks to scroll way way down and then have to start from the beginning only because you wanted to see the info on a program and then goes back to the program list.
Greetings from Tom-Helge.
I found out that there was something messing up my phone, so i just restored my phone. So i don't have this issue anylonger now.

I can be on this website, or any other, and EVERY time I slide out the keyboard, instantly my device closes the websites and go back to the Today screen!This is a replacement 8125 because the one I had replaced did the same thing, and now this one is doing it, too.Any info please!HELP!Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1
Did you install any additional software on the device?
Does it close everything on your device or does it only shut down the Internet Explorer? You can check if it was clsed completely in START -> SETTINGS -> SYSTEM -> MEMORY - Please open another application and then start IE, slide out the keyboard and check if all running programs were closed or only minimized.
My first question would be about any additional software that's been installed, too. I've never had that problem with my 8125 and can't replicate it, either -- by using the ActiveSync passthrough connection, EDGE/GPRS or WiFi.
What third party software do you have installed??

Actually after closing from the internet, it does go back to the Today screen no matter what I open from the start menu. Settings or Programs will not stay and the internet was minimized. I have several 3rd party apps installed. How do I know which one/s are giving me this problem?Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1
List what software you're using so we can do a comparison and see which one might be the offending program. It's either that, or uninstall them one at a time to check it out.

After doing a soft re-set to fix, I opened file explorer which is factory installed, and not 3rd party, then I opened the internet back to here, slid out the keyboard, and the device still converted to its landscape mode and went back to the Today screen, and nothing when tapped stayed on. Do I need to uninstall everything and re-try the keyboard?It has to be somewhere in the keyboard, because I slid out the keyboard from the Today screen, nothing was opened, pushed the keyboard back in, tapped on settings in the start menu..did not stay, went back to the Today screen. I pushed the red phone hardware button out of curiosity, and was able to have settings or whatever to stay on after that.If I don't slide out the keyboard, the device works fine.Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1
Just out of curiosity -- how much storage memory and program memory do you have??

20MB of each.I have 85% of everything on my 512MB storage card.
use Task manager, or Move 3rd party application to your SD card
You can try by moving all your third party application to your sd card(one thing you have to remap your registry setting to the new location). Then switch off your phone, remove the sd card and then switch on the phone. now almost your 3d party application are stoppped. while on it will give some link not found error. in My cases when ever i am facing problem with 3rd party application i am doing this, But this is at your own risk.
One oter method. Install Batery Pack Pro. With Which you can see the minimized process In the top by taping downward arrow.(if the process minimized)(This one you have to buy.It is not Freeeeeee )
Or Use Task manager with which you can activate the minimized window.
My optionis 3 or 2 one.
Well,
I would do a hard reset on my device, then installing every single application step by step and check afterwards if internet will work before I install the next one! That seems to be the only way to figure out what application causes the problem!
A soft reset won't really help because of some programs start with the device or at least they start some services!
If you can safely back up your device I would say go for it and try to find that app what screws up your device! After you located the program do not install it anymore but try to find a similar program what does the same job! Nobody wants to have faulty apps on his device! And if it does something like shutting down your running programs ... - ... who knows what else it does!
BTW: It could be a 'non-really-harmful' virus which might stick in one of your apps ... depending on where you downloaded your programs from! Since you have exactly the same issues like on your previous model ...
After a lot of troubleshooting, I discovered a 3rd party software called Today Player by MBRO, found at FreeCabs.de had the virus that gave me this problem. I re-installed the other programs I un-installed, and now my 8125 is working like it's supposed to do. THIS IS A WARNING.. I WOULD NOT INSTALL TODAY PLAYER BY MBro. if I were you! I want to thank everyone that took their time and concern to help. You're a bunch of great guys!!Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1
I think your initial post gave us all a clue that it would be software-related -- especially since this was a replacement for a phone that did the exact same thing.
Glad you were able to isolate the problem!!!

Yeah,
and I wouldn't even say that it is a virus (unless you downloaded it from emule or so?) - can also be a 'dirty programming': people write an application, test it on a WM5 PPC and it works fine, so, they go ahead and release it for all WM5 and higher. The main thing they often forget, is, to write a clean code following the Windows API!
Hey everyone,
I'm new here, attracted by my purchase of an X1 last week. I was disappointed playing with it at first, but after installing lots of things from here I love it - you guys are wizards, thanks!
Anyway, I've hit a problem and would be grateful for some help. Something I installed in the last few days messed up my screen layout - in some menu items the text was slightly shifted to the right, meaning the last word or two was actually chopped off the screen. I tried uninstalling a few things, but nothing helped, so I thought 'factory reset'. This was successful in resolving the issue, and I installed all my apps and panels again.
However, strangely, Messenger was no longer there. My phone is an O2 handset and it was there originally. So I installed Windows Live, only to notice that it ships from Microsoft with no IM installed. So I had to get it from a link here, and it works perfectly. But now, there seems to be a lack of integration with the app and my phone, e.g it does not show up on my Microsoft Live panel (I only get Live and Sync, with the 3rd 'space' empty). Also, I'm sure there used to be an 'instant message' option on the menu of a contact - that's no longer there. It's mainly the shortcut on the Live Panel I'd like back though, any ideas?

Hi guys,
Been searching around but can't find answers, please if you know this question has been asked, just point me in the right direction.
I have a Vodafone Magic (yeah, yeah, I know, stupid right? Fancy wanting an android phone that the supplier will never upgrade past 1.6) But I didn't have that knowledge at the time. While I'm not happy with the phone generally, I have a more specific question.
I have always been happy enough using the stock broswer, although I have tried others too. But Just yesterday a problem turned up, that even using alternate browsers does not help with. When I go onto google site, and into preferences (settings) for google, which goes basically to the same page regardless of browser, I have always been able to save my prefernces, Ie safe search (other than moderate), save location, save searches etc. But yesterday, and since, every time I change a setting, save and then go back into settings, nothing I changed has altered.
Basically rambling, but say I change safe search to strict, press save, goes back to google page, go back into settings, and sure enough safe search is back to moderate.
This used to happen only when I cleared cache.
What the hell have I done to the phone to cause this, it's really quite irritating.
I have turned phone off and back on. I haven't done a factory reset yet, as hoping there is a solution that doesn't invole reinstalling all apps etc. I haven't done a soft reset, because I don't know if one exists.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
"have a Vodafone Magic is stupid right?" I don't think so haha
Hi all,
First, I am new to this Android thing and I don't know where else to post a such question.
But anyway, now on to my question.
I understand that rooting my device may brake the warenty, but if there is some other solution to the below problem, that would be great!
I am visually impaired and therefor me and others who are in the same situation rely on screen reading software, such as Spiel and Talkback that already exists in the market and they can be activated in the accessibility preferences of the phone after they have been installed.
In order for them to work, some text-to-speech engine has to be installed and the voice data for that as well, like Espeak.
The phones we have to use are the ones with physical qwerty keyboards and the ones that have physical arrow keys or a trackball. But now to my question.
Each time I have to do a factory reset of my Samsung Galaxy 5510 I must get someone sighted help me set up my Google account and then I can login to the market and install Spiel/Talkback and with some assistance enable the accessibility preferences.
This is really anoying. SO my question is, would it be possible to integrate these programs into some rom or maybe backup the phone so that I can restore it from a PC or maybe with some application that can be launched from the phone and then I select the image file, like a backup program and then all my settings are back.
I really apologize if this is the wrong forum, but any help is really apreciated since I know that several others are facing the same problem.
What do you think?
Could this be something to look at?
may I ask why you are doing a factory reset so often?
or do you just mean you upgrade to a new rom?
anyway, it should be really easy to have these apps installed by default in any rom. I doubt they would work in the setup procedure but you could skip the setup and then add your accounts later, when the text to speech apps are running.
No, I am not upgrading the ROM and I am not doing a hard reset that often, BUT, if i would have to do that it would be great if the screen reader service, such as Spiel could be launched by default and I don't know if this phone can be upgraded.
So everthing was fine till yestarday, this morning I open the market place to see if there is something new or exiting that I should buy. Suddenly I noticed I have only two options to choose from either; samsung or all. before it was;
samsung
games
apps
maps
social
etc
How the hell did they downgrade to this. Right now all the games and apps are mixed up. Anyone has any idea how to fix this.
Thanks

Have you changed the language or region settings on your phone? That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this kind of behavior.
Does the phone auto update the market based on where you're located?
Might try relocating yourself with the settings. Might have been a GPS error.
This might have been when the marketplace was down, experiencing errors though.
