[DISCUSS] Apps running for no apparent reason - Xperia Play General

Anyone know why Setup Guide seems to insist on running all the time? Every time I check to see which apps are running it's there, why ?

Me too, and xperia play, multimedia server, and a lot more.

You can't. Need to wait for root
If you can handle it I found a Factory reset seemed to stop Moxier being active and I got almost instant results.
See the Power Use thread for more.
You can't uninstall from the phone - not sure if you can just delete the thing from the SD card though - it may cause it to fall over...
Hi all, thought I'd ask SE for help on this one.. and this was the response.. I'm going to try it and see...
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson X10 handset.
We can confirm that you can not remove any application that came preinstalled on the Sony Ericsson X10 handset. Therefore Moxier mail can not be removed. We have however included some steps which should enable Moxier from starting up when not in use.
1. Go into your menu and select settings.
2. Select Applications
3. Select manage applications
4. Select Moxier mail
5. Select clear data then select Ok
6. Then go down to Coontrols and select Force stop
This should disable the Moxier mail.
Kind Regards,
Emma Anderson
Sony Ericsson UK Customer Services
I click on Force Stop and nothing happens ...
@ SE...
I don't think anything will visibly happen.. it's more about what shouldn't happen!! ie Moxier starting up on its own!!
Ok, then SE needs an UI (or is UX) guy there to tell them about the feedback the user should receive after taking an action ...
SE support really are hopeless... I've just tried this (with startup auditor switched off.) and guess what.... moxier started up when I switched the wifi off... and so I killed it.. and it started again when I switched the wifi on.. back to startup auditor I think!
Startup Auditor won't help with that because Moxier Mail starts up when Data Connection Change event fires (ie whenever you switch from 3G to WiFi or vice versa), and that's an event SA doesn't autokill apps at.
I've alerted the developer and he's going to add it back in so long as it doesn't cause issues.
Hi guys,
New poster here but have been lurking for a while. I too have been having the same issues as others with Moxier Mail so got on to SE Support to help. My first email was greeted with the same response as one of the posters above so I responded with the following:
Me said:
Hi Emma,
Thank you for your prompt response but I regret to inform you that the method you suggested for disabling the moxier application only works for 5-10 seconds until another data connection is made or another call is received. This ridiculous piece of software is ruining what should be an amazing phone. Whoever thought it a good idea to let it run the way it does should be given a stern talking to at the very least.
If you or anyone else in your technical department have any suggestions on how to get rid of moxier to make my phone last longer than 8 hours without needing a charge, even though I haven't used it, then I would be greatly appreciative.
Kind regards

Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson X10 handset.
Could you please confirm when it is exactly that Moxier is enabled on your handset?
Is it when you receive a message or any other sort of notifications?
And what exactly happens when Moxier is enabled?

My response:
Me said:
Hi Emma,
I should have said in my last email, but I don't have moxier set up at all. I have entered no settings in to it to activate it, nor do I intend to.
It seems to start up as soon as any data connection is initiated. Be it turning on wi-fi or turning it off and going back to GSM or 3G. It will initiate on resuming from sleep mode and when a normal phone call is made. I know that I am not the only person with this problem. It is literally happening the world over according to the numerous fora dedicated to the x10 that I have found.
Kind regards,

Now we shall see what the techs supposedly have to say. I will keep you informed if there is anything useful in their next email.
Apologies for the long post but I figured it might help and also might be an idea if we all get onto the SE Support on this issue.
Thanks.
Thanks DBSS - I've replied with a similar comment when I got their first hopeless response!.. No reply yet.. We should compare solutions as they arrive!

I am having to use android task killer to periodically kill moxier. I have never done anything with it either and my battery was down to 50% within an hour or so after it had been on charge overnight. Since using task killer its been much better.
Only had X10 about 3 days and impressed with most things but very annoyed for the general consumer who would never use an exchange server but forced to not be able to uninstall moxier stuff on an other wise Flagship phone. maybe Sony can supply a firmware update which allows us to remove or disable it.

Most definitely im_iceman.
For what it's worth by the way I am on O2 Ireland with this phone, locked to them.
Seems we all are having these issues with the freaking Moxier. My solution is Task Panel all the way and adding moxier to the Kill section.
Cant wait to root and forget about this little thingys that are screwing up the total enjoyment of this expensive device!

Looks like this is going to be the only way. I just called Sony Ericsson's help desk and got put through to a vegetable. He advised that there was no way to shut it off, even though i didn't activate it, Sony wouldn't come up with anything to alter it as it's part of the phone and it does that to make switching easier (after i told him i hadn't used it and never planned on using it), and there was nothing they could do.
Gotta love customer service lol
Does anyone know if it can be updated to the latest version at least? Everytime I do the update, it says I have the latest version which is not true. Thanks in advance.
Why do you need to uninstall Moxier ? Just because it is in the kernel stack does not mean it's using any resources...
I use Moxier daily and it has little effect on my battery.....

That's a good point.. I was wondering about it myself today.. I don't use moxier, but there seems to have been a wave of mistrust developing about the app...I've currently got Startup auditor and task manager keeping it off.. but actually not run any tests to see if it's a problem... tell you what.. right now at.. 2217.. I'll take it out of Startup auditor and task manager and see what happens.. will report back later!

ooh.. do you know what.. I can't remember exactly what happened now.. but I've got startup auditor and task manager both trying to keep moxier off.. so it must have seemed like it got worse!!.. I'll run another test... see what happens.

[Q]Advice on X2

Hi, I am an Android user(HTC Desire that is) and my cousin is selling her Xperia X2.
I played a bit with it and damn it is so slow so much that i got tired playing with it. But one thing i want it from it, the front camera(damn Desire dont have this, why!!!!).
So i have a few questions regarding this cuz i might buy it from her just for that video call function.
1) the video call is really functioning right? cuz my main point of getting it cuz of that, so i dont want to waste my money if it is not going to work properly.
2) can i have the windows phone 7 on this? if yes, whats the procedure of it?
3) How do i know if her X2 have MR1 or MR2?
3a) How do i get to MR2 if she have MR1?
4) Any other issues i should worry about? and is there any fixes, patches to overcome it?
5) Most importantly, I will mainly use it for messages, and calls and most priority goes for video call. and thats it. cuz i have my android phone for everything else.
Thanks!
=)
as far as i knw..u cant have wm7 on x2...just update using sony ericson update service..
thanks for the reply. any clue on other questions above? i dont mind if no wp7, just that it'll be great if its possible.

For video calls you need the latest firmware upgrade.
2) can i have the windows phone 7 on this? if yes, whats the procedure of it?
Windows Phone 7 will no run on any existing Windows Mobile devices.
3) How do i know if her X2 have MR1 or MR2?
Start > Settings > System > Device information?
The official way is to use the Update Service software regularly to check for new firmware regularly.
3a) How do i get to MR2 if she have MR1?

Actually I have X2 and recently got X10.
And I think I will sell my X10.
Mainly because of keyboard and need of logging in to Google to use Calendar.
Some things on WM 6.5.3 are still better like C & P.
And Android 2.1 does not support Flash, X2 does!
i wont cry. i have my htc desire with me. this one is mainly for video call only. strictly for that.

Hello doministry, still stuck with x2? firstly I missed the keyboard and video call too. But now not anymore. I have other alternative. Actually I just bought x2 again from my friend just for experimenting uninstall the slideview (read from x2 thread) can improve the stability. But for me just the same. Always freeze and slow. Oh yes. And no push email.
But I have to spend more money for my phone bill because of the internet connection of my x10. So sad.
Now my x2 is only for my nicest collection.
For me, wm 6.1 is better. Any idea to downgrade to wm 6.1 like x1? Thanks senior.

Just to set things straight ... the X2 (at least with MR2 -- not sure about MR1) has push mail ... used at my last job and it worked well. When you use an exchange server for the email and turn on Microsoft Push Mail (in the manage connections screen) it works ... uses more battery though ...
Also, I disabled Slideview -- much better battery life -- and I never used it.
I also use the overclocking ... been using it since September without any problems ... and the phone is very stable (only problem that I have is that is will freeze up when playing certain mp4 videos -- CorePalyer plays them but without video).
I am very happy with the X2 ...

Did you set the notifications for MMS and text messages? There are under the sounds and notifications ... notifications tab ...
I have mine set for a sound / visual / and vibration ... and it works and notifies me when messages come in ... but I have seen on the forums that some have the notifications go away after some time ... but mine seem to work ...
It rings just part of the music and stop.it resume after we turn on the screen.

Is X10 stable in you opinion?
Sure stable. Never freeze, smooth. Browsing, chatting, messeging, calling, everything is so stable and smooth. And fast too.

___________________________________
Theme support, available under 'Display' settings or with a long-press option on the home screen. Still limited to a handful of SE themes but if you always wanted less blue in the menus it's now an option.
The Gingerbread CRT-off animation makes its first appearance!
The widget overview accessed with a pinch on the home screen now has the widgets floating about. Shaking the phone sends them flying. Pretty and smooth animation but it makes the overview practically unusable IMO, I'll tap SE about this.
Several ring tones have disappeared, among others the one I were using (Digital Phone). Not a big issue.
I'm finally able to set a silent alarm! Previous firmwares allowed setting the alarm sound to 'None' in the list but always defaulted back to the last set sound anyway. This is now fixed.
Setting the alarm time now entails spinning dials instead of clicking. Faster but less precise.
Various UI text is now smaller and sharper.
Additional bloatware, of which some can be uninstalled without root.
'Connected Devices', a more intuitive and cleaner version of the DLNA media server software.
The address book looks a bit different, I think. Unfortunately it's still impossible to change the sorting order of contacts.
The photo album offers a few more options when you call up the menu.
Digital zoom available at all camera resolutions. Only for images though, not video.
Compression levels of still pictures remain overly high.
xLOUD option to significantly enhance audio output strength from the rear speaker. Almost painfully loud IMO.
Using the HDMI mirroring feature now forces the home screen into landscape mode for a better fit with widescreen TVs.
There is also the Keyboard option for International (full keyboard or Phonepad !)
Minor updates:
Video Editor
Data Monitor
Contact Widget
Timescale extension search
Friends & Music
Setup screen has been changed
Nice Update Center
Etc.
They introduced
New weather widget
New layouts for background theme management
New Xloud benefits
Etc
Enjoy!

The wifi does have a weird issue when you first boot it from flash. you have to restart it again it will work correctly. I am not sure if you meant if arc "can" disconnect itself from wifi. i currently tried to disable it and turn it back on it works well. perhaps could you explain it again? sry my english is bad haha
Thats great! Well, I am not sure really, but if you have root explorer installed you can access your system folder.

Xperia play update 4.0.a.2.368

So i just updated my phone to 4.0.a.2.368 and i noticed a lot of really nice changes. Since there aren't any official notes (or at least not ones i can find) i will be posting changes i noticed here along with personal opinion on some of them without a particular order...
xLOUD-The soundspeaker loudness is greatly increased and the sound is so much better.
Media Player-When you play a song the backround of the player changes to a color most noticable in the album art
-looks great
Infinity Button Upgraded-You can now search for artist on wikipedia,lyrics on google and karaoke videos on youtube.
-Finally the button is useful
Lock Animation-It is changed to an old-style tv turn off
-It looks great and kinda gives nostalgia
App Refresh on Reboot-Before i updated my phone every time i rebooted it I had to let it ''sit'' for 5 minutes so it loads all the apps from the sd card and if you opened the menu you would have to reboot it again...but now it shows an icon on every non-loaded app that quickly refreshes to give the real app
-yes yes yes my brother always said its the worst thing about this phone so now i can rub it in his face
Themes-Basically like wallpaper but changes the background of some apps like Messaging
Messaging-Now it opens up so much faster and has a different boot animation
Call handling-You can now manage what calls you receive and block
-I was always wondering why wasn't this already included,i mean all my older phones have it
Timescape-Doesn't freeze when you move the widget and scrolls a lot smoother,in addition Extension Manager has been added so you can get more content to Timescape from more sites and you can also see calls and messages.
Wireless Radio-It seems like its power is increased and you don't get disconnected from older routers altho i haven't been able to test this longer than 30 minutes.
Status switch Widget-The old 4x1 has been replaced with a new 3x2 one
-It looks ugly and it messed up my perfect widget arrangement
Weather widget-Pretty self explanatory
-Now i can delete space-consuming Weatherbug

Umm... you never need root for updating your phone,just connect it to your computer and install SE Pc Companion and you will be asked to update it

Well it is sort of better but you don't get disconnected when the signal gets under 20% and i have noticed i can play zinga poker now where in the last update it would disconnect me from wifi as soon as i started playing,but now it runs great
I got the update via OTA today (Philippines) and I still have root. Rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20.
OTA for UK now also
preys this fix the ****ty wifi issues *finger crossed*
Bad news for me, the OTA udpate fails on the fourth dot.
Does this mean I deleted an app that it checks to see if you are on stadard build>? Do I have to go back to Uk Generic and root then ota?
thank in advance
Update is available to R800a users. I'm running Generic usa I think.
79mb ota.

Try it one more time. But did you delete a stock app? I just froze all of mine and the update was fine.

My fails to update as well should I unroot first then update?
@nelly_boy & Xplay. If you have uninstalled anything from your phone after rooting. The ota update will fail.
As you have said nelly_boy you will have to reflash to 2.3.2 to get the stuff you deleted back then root then do the ota to get 4.0.a rooted.
@Xplay. You dont have to unroot to ota update. The whole point of updating using ota is to keep root.
How about the camera and video recording? Any improvement?

That will be in the 2.3.4 update.
But I believe they enabled stereo sound recording for video.

[Q] Lots of Apps not functioning on N10

It seems like a lot of the apps that i try don't function properly on the Nexus 10. The ones that don't work that bother me most are the TiVo, Netflix, NFL Mobile, and Draw Something. I have tried a couple roms(ASOP by Craig, and Modaco), and the apps didn't work with either. Is there any mods or tricks to get these apps to work? It's enough of an issue that I will probably be selling my nexus 10 in the very near future if this isn't rectified. I just feel that a "Google Nexus" device should be the most compatible android device on the market, and not the one with the most issues.
Draw something works on a stock n10. Rooting seems to break it. Probably something to do with the way rooting works with the new multi user stuff in android 4.2. Most of the apps that I use that have had problems on the n10 have been receiving updates recently to add proper android 4.2 support.

interesting.. I wonder if Draw Something will work if I set up another user account and use it on that? If it works it'd be worth the trouble. Because, root doesn't work [SuperSU] on anything but the main user. I hope it works because I was looking forward to using a tablet for Draw Something again.. just to find it wouldn't work.
Edit: didn't work!
What issue have you been having with Netflix?, I just watched Sleepwalk With Me on my N10 tonight through it without issue.

It opens to the all red screen that says netflix and has the spinning loading icon and nothing after that.
