WiFi works fine for me too. Installing stuff from market worked fine over wifi too, couldn't get connected over 3g tho. Spotify installed fine and ran (without sound, as the speaker ain't working). That's good, considering the installation process of spotify is known to cause problems on "real" androids ;)

Serious slowdowns and lockup after running longer than 20 minutes. Batterydrain is really serious. Never had my phone as warm.

problem on Batterydrain can be solve with some changes on STARTUP.txt :

1. changes clock-7x01A=528 with this clock-7x00.a11=528 <--- this is our processor speed

2. changes lcd.density=210 with this lcd.density=240 <--- for getting anti alias screen

Im having a problem with running the haret program.

I get an error saying that the application was unable to find the "rootfs.img", but the file is under the X1_andoidOS directory.

Thanks for the help.

no...don't inside the X1_andoidOS.

just extract all file in the X1_andoidOS into root folder.

/initrd.gz

/rootfs.img

/system.ext2

Thanks Fatsal for porting Android 1.6 from the Raphael branch.

I am having difficulty getting GPRS/3G data to work (WIFI is working fine) on AT&T in the US. I have changed my STARTUP.TXT values for ppp to be ppp.apn=wap.cingular ppp.username=WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM ppp.password=CINGULAR1 and does not appear to connect (the APN properties in Android itself appear to be correct also).

Is there a way I need to manually connect a 3G connection or should it automatically connect if I am using the browser and WIFI is not enabled?

Thanks again.

-Paul
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatsal:
hi paul,

you can added APN from

Setting -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names

and then click menu (silver button on top of panel button), click New APN.

you can fill your configuration cingular in there.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karthu:
There was actually already an APN named ATT in there with the correct details for AT&T when I first booted into Android (is there an auto configuration utility similar to the connection wizard in Windows Mobile 6.1?). I tried recreating the APN and it still does not recognize a connection in the browser. I see a 3g connection icon in the top bar, but the up and down arrows are not lit (are they supposed to be if there is a valid connection?).

Note that I am on an X1i in the US so perhaps it is trying to connect on the wrong 3g data band. I do not see a way in Android to set the frequencies that the phone is connecting on (similar to Options -> Bands in Windows Mobile).

Any other thoughts or pointers on how I might be able to make it connect would be appreciated.

Cheers,

-Paul
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
I've tested it too. Looks nice. What I saw(in first version, without night build):

Can't get rid of "locked screen" if my X1 is without SIM-card.

Some applications have wrong coordinates to show their windows. For example - try to run "lunar" game, where you need to land a spaceship. The game window is wrong displayed... Same thing is if we slide to the left on the standby screen(right desktop will be opened). Desktop's coordinates are wrong to X1's screen.

Can't connect to my secured Wifi point in the office. Entered the passkey, but can't connect. It says that the point is in range, signal is fair, but after few tries, WiFi status is "disconnected". I believe it's due to MAC issue.

Can't use "fn-keys" on my hardware keyboard. I.e. can't use this blue key in the left bottom corner of our keyboard.

How can I close applications? I've always used OK button, but it seems it just minimizes it, because after few programs were "closed", my Android became very sloooow.

Confirm PIN issue: can't enter OS while PIN-lock-on-boot is activated.

After running camera couldn't do anything but press on onscreen camera key. Had to make soft-reset.

No sounds in OS. Volume control works fine with hardware volume keys, but there is no sound at all. As when somebody calling me, as when I use mediaplayer to play some mp3's from my SD-card(song's time is counting, but no sound made)

Sometimes GUI blinks. And I've managed to see that it's console which sometimes comes over GUI and then GUI comes back.

Hope you've checked all console messages while Android is loading, because there was something that was not loaded(console said that before loading GUI, for example "failed to access tty, job control is turned off", etc.)

Wishes:

Please, do something to make available manual reboot. I'm telling you that when I extracted your files NOT in SD-root, but in the folder, and then run it, I've got some error and possibility to enter console commands. After I entered 'quit'(or 'exit' - don't remember exactly), console gave me an exception and in few seconds my X1 rebooted by itself.

Please make possible to flip Android screen by 180 degree to normally use the device.

Please, make separate thread in this forum and always update its first post for new version. Just like our firmware creators always do. It will be more convenient for you and for us - your fans :) (advice: just after thread is created, you can make about 3 new posts to occupy space for some useful info about your builds).

Please keep doing what you do, we really need it! ;)

Thank you very much!

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karthu:
Has anyone worked out how to use Superuser Permissions app with the Terminal Emulator yet? It would be nice to gain root access to perform actions like reboot (for which there is no key yet).

From what I understand and have read, the Superuser Permissions app, once started, is supposed to prompt when you attempt an action that requires root privileges. But after I have started it, I return to the home screen (X panel button), start the Terminal Emulator, type su, and I still get permission denied.

I tried searching the Raphael thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577736) and associated wiki's which do not seem to discuss it, and also expanded my search to google for all related Superuser Permissions app topics, to no avail.

Cheers,

-Paul

Edit: I have answered my own question to some degree. I enabled the running processes in dev tools to watch what was going on and it appears no matter how I attempt to get to the Terminal Emulator app, as soon as I navigate to the home screen from the Superuser Permissions app, it closes before I can open the Terminal Emulator. I guess my question should be - any idea how I keep the Superuser Permissions app running in the background?

There are a few "bugs" that i came by;

1. The programs do not close when pressed either X panel or OK button.

2. Screen alignment, I just have a feel that it is not right, also the app does not work.

3. Wallpaper setting behavior, I have not yet managed to get full resolution bg there. How to?

4. No way to shut down.

5. No way to put device standby.

6. No sound.

These have been discussed, (not 3.?) I know. Only wanted to bring up things that prevent ME using this daily.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
Good afternoon, dear fatsal!

I wonder if you saw my post with bugs found by me in your Android build. Just to inform you if you didn't.

Plus I've tested your upgrade and found some more:

fn-keys are working now. Maybe it didn't work only in terminal console, when I couldn't run Android(when unzipped in folder, not in SD-card root).

No hardware keys backlight!

No new upper-bar indicators(always clock,battery and GSM). Turning on/off wifi, GPS doesn't affect upper bar. But turning charger/flight mode successfully changes GSM icon.

Settings -> Adjust brightness doesn't affect screen brightness.

Screen backlight never turns off.

File browser can't enter in any directory if I use screen to navigate! It works if I use joystick.

File browser crashes when I'm trying to open any txt-file. Is there a way to save text message and then read it from WM? I didn't find it.

I've found why screen blinks sometimes: when it's locked(on the main screen), the menu-key(left softkey of X1) not always can unlock it! Sometimes after I press it, nothing happens for 1 second, then screen blinks(console opens, then GUI is back). I assume that it's some kind of error outputted to console. You can reproduce this behavior by going somewhere in menu(contacts, for example), then leave it till it locks and try to unlock: press menu-key once and wait for 5-6 seconds looking on the screen.

Scrolling by finger isn't accurate enough. When I'm trying to scroll, I always select some item. It's hard to scroll, because I need to do it real fast...

How to play Lunar Lander? :) It reacts only on left/right keypresses :)

Where to find terminal emulator commands list? Typing "help" doesn't work.

Thank you in advance!
