[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
I saw marginal difference on the signals between these 2 radios. I have very good reception in my city all over...

I went back to 1.06.25.29, device information shows the correct radio version. I used the normal Radio Update Utility. Or what did you mean?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
Carrier/operator/provider's signal strength and coverage has A LOT TO DO here. Thus, results will differ for each user

I have posted some fieldtest results ("radio's" thread) but I ain't no good comparison point because my operator has strong signal and coverage: Full-bars always for me, wherever I go whatever radio I flash (except for the Diamond Radio 1.09.25.23 of course, what a crap - at least for me)

@Xmoo

Conclusion: I think this is a very personal decission and you should take a chance and throw the dice, run your odds
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Hkt:
Yeap.. my device is security unlocked.. I have successfully upgraded my ROM Radio...

Maybe Gtrab is right.. and every Radio depends of the Country, Carrier, Antennas and lots of stuff.. maybe the Radios are not going to solve all our reception problems.. (at least not mines :p)

I forgot to ask.. has anyone tried those Antenna Booster (As seen on TV) :P Stickers?? Does that really works on the Xperia??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Hmz mayb the bad signal is a hardware issue then???
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
How did you do that?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smaberg:
i dont think so, ihad 3 xperias, and 5 of my friends got it, and all are the same, crappy signal, but when turning off 3g the gsm reception is GREAT almost as good as my SE905C, maybe crappy 3g chip for some frequences.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] boi ninja:
metal case???
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
NO WAY !!!

I just received my X1A, inserted my ole SIM and YAHOOOO !!! "H" icon came up !!! Now I have both X1i and X1A, X1i picking GSM/EDGE and X1A picking WCDMA/HSDPA from the same 850MHz carrier

BOTH SHOW 4 (four) FULL BARS (both on radio 1.06.25.29)

ONLY DIFFERENCE is the sweet HSDPA SPEEEEEEED: boosted from 107 Kbps to 2,156 kbps !!! :eek: (and this was a "raw" out-of the box test, let me optimize and tweak please, yipeee)

I LOVE my carrier !!! :D

PS: I'll test in other areas around the city later and get back to tell ya
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
I find that the original phone dial pad is rather dull, so I modified it (see attached) and would like to share with other users. If you like the new dial pad do the followings for installation.

How to install?

A) Find the 5 files below in \windows directory and copy to a another directory (just in case) using Total Commander (or others)

a) Assets_Dialer_Normal.bmp

b) Assets_Dialer_pressed.bmp

c) Dialer_Bkgnd_Port.bmp

d) Dialer_back_key_press.bmp

e) Dialer_back_key_normal.bmp

1) Unzip the attached file -> gives you 5 files as above

2) Ensure that the 5 files is a system file (attributes system - checked)

3) Copy the 5 files above into your \windows directory

4) Soft rest

*** In case it does not work in your set (very unlikely), just copy the original files in step A) above to \windows directory.
[Touch 3G General] ukmapleleaf:
this is a great mod - but, the bmp files are set in rom according to the file properties when viewed in total comander. So i cant rename or delete them nor can i overwrite them with your new files. I have jade 110 with hard spl rom flashed with HTC oem rom.

any ideas how to overcome this or am i doing something wrong

TIA
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
I am not sure why. I've copied the files to a few different sets (stock rom, though) and they work fine. The files are not in rom. It could be due to your rom.
[Touch 3G General] xtremez:
however, if want to change back to the original keypad how ah?
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
As far as I understand it you have to copy back your saved original files.

By the way: I can not find these files on my Jade (with TotalCommander).
[Touch 3G General] xtremez:
Owh..ic ic...thanks for clearing that up. Does anyone has those files? Just wanna keep incase.
[Touch 3G General] xtremez:
I changed to a new skin, and the original one kinda looks better with the skin. But i think i accidentally replaced them. Can someone assist me please?
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
I'll post the original files later.. on the move right now. the files are in my notebook at home.
[Touch 3G General] xtremez:
Thanks dude :)...PM when u do so then..
[Touch 3G General] xtremez:
Just alittle note about the condition in my Touch3G, i tried installing a various Iphone dialpads...and the software can't be removed even though i deleted it in the registry, plus when i don't use the default windows dialpad..all i get is a white screen with blank boxes..@.@ (freaking me out)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SiemensLover:
Hallo,

1 question please.

i had Flashed Olinex SPL 1.40 a long time ago, and i flashed many ROMs (without SPL and Radio).

Can i now flash my Diamond with the new shipped ORIGINAL HTC Rom 2.03 (inclusive SPL and Radio) or do i have to do some things before?

i.e the ROM is ORIGINAL SHIPPED HTC ROM.. untouched!

Thanx in Advance

WBR

Hey all,

I've been an avid user of TomTom from V5 upwards. I currently use V7.

I only have experience with TomTom and have always stuck to it as I've had no complaints. Easy to install, easy to customise etc..etc..

I'd like to ask you to vote which you use and why.

PLEASE CAN WE JUST GIVE REASONS AS TO WHY YOU USE WHICH AND NOT START ANY ARGUEMENTS WITH ANY OTHER POST!

Keep your reasons simple and to the point.

Many thanks

Wayne

edit: If anyone has any other nav software they use, I will amend the Poll accordingly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jouh:
I have tried Tomtom 7, Navigon and iGO8.

Quickly removed both Tomtom and Navigon when I got iGO8 running. Both of them had much more noticable lag.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tomj333:
Im using TomTom too.... but it does have lag, does igo8 have less?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jouh:
MUCH less.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twisted-pixel:
I'm using tomtom, well that is to say I have it on my phone as I have in car satnav, but I use it to scroll through maps etc and find the place I'm looking for prior to getting in the car.

As such I'm not really worried about the lag issue (in fact I don't think I've even used it as satnav since I've had my HD).

I did try IGO8 but I immediately installed the tomtom skin as it's what I'm used to and I like the layout of tomtom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] triniboi:
i' using garmin.i think it better that tomtom.way more options, but guess they all do the same at the send. :)

sat nav

I have the Garmin in my car but atm haven’t got on my phone but I would like to put it on. Can anyone tell me if I can use the software from my car one and if so how do you put it on. Alternatively where do you get the satnav software from and is it special one just for phones.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigdeal88:
strange no one mentions about mapking... i'm using mapking though i prefer the background of garmin. but garmin searching can be a real headache
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danum:
Like the OP, TomTom. I have used several versions over several years. Very easy to use.

There is a lot of scope for personalization and custom of map colour schemes and system menu screens etc.

The supported .ov2 POI files are common and easy to install. Voice alerts area easy to create and install for all POIs including safety cameras.

Having said the above, iGo8 for example has a more comprehensive map set and impressed me when visiting the UAE. I found the display and interface unfamiliar, but I would consider prolonged use with a TomTom skin.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrRalphMan:
TomTom here as well.

Mainly so I can use my Speed Camera Database.

igo is the way to go

i have a Touch HD with both TomTom and Igo8 on, i was trying to use TomTom but found it lagged and was unreliable in getting a fix( a big prob with the HD) but when i put Igo on it worked first time and every time since, and i must admit it looks much better with the topography in 3d mode, its very nice, so i WAS a TomTom fan, but now im a Igo 8 convert.

I use SYGIC (Mc Guider) 7.6 because it´s easy to handle and it works in landscape perfekt.

Ive tried CoPilot, TomTom and iGo8, and I've stuck with iGo. It seems to update the quickest, the instructions are very clear and the display is excellent.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SiliconS:
TomTom for me.

My wife bought me a full retail TomTom package a couple of years ago including the software + their GPS device at a total cost of GBP200 (~EUR180). When I (inevitably) upgraded my phone five months later I was unable to transfer the licence to the new machine because I'd gone up a version in WM and my TomTom software wouldn't install. All of that money we'd spent on the retail version was immediately wasted, which was very annoying.

I was forced to find and use a cracked version instead of my legal and perfectly good version simply because TomTom designed their software for one specific operating system and wouldn't do anything to help me.

I have bought lots of legal software for my PC and for my PDAs (and have donated to this site) and fully support the anti-warez policy on XDA-Dev, but out of principle now I will always use a cracked version of TomTom in revenge for TomTom's policy. TomTom will never get another penny from me.

BTW, this is a useful site for downloading free POIs for most software, thought it may be useful!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rolud:
Tried Navigon MN 7, iGo 8 and Tomtom 7...

I'm using Navigon MN7, just because it has the nicest look (maps...) when you drive...

iGo 8 is also very nice to use, unfortunately the Tele Atlas maps are not so accurate, compared to the much better NavteQ maps used by Navigon !

And Tomtom, for me, has the World ugliest display when you drive, AND the not so accurate Tele Atlas maps ! IMHO, definitely the worst navigating software you can use... ;-(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sir.B:
TomTom, simple to you simple to set up

and i can't dish out $ just to try other software

i'm not quite sure why you use TomTom then?

if you have been using it for a few years

You would need to buy/pay a new Major Release anyway

buy a different navi software

don't continue to use and crack software that you denounce

IGO 8.3.2 wit newest Q3 Navtec maps... it is apsolutely the best navigation for customization(skins,cars,pois).Also speedcam database for Europe is the most completed one.:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] roger18:
I'm currently testing also some GPS nav. SW with my blackstone

I tried TomTom 7.

The "+" : excellent POI data base, lot of options/customisations

The "-": no text to speech, no landscape mode (i did not try with Girator), no realview Pro. But the worst thing for me is the efficiency of the navigation. I tried to find a station in a small town a few days ago which i never found using the SW. I did compare with Navigon and it found it very quickly.

I have tried Mobile Navigator 7.

The "+" : excellent maps, user friendly interface

The "-" : poor POI data base. I still did not find the way to update regularly the data base freely (there is POI warner but it only handles radars infos). I tried to find a restaurant that was around 5 km, without success, whereas it worked like a charm with TT 7.

I have donwloaded the trial version of Garmin mobile xt but i've still not made up my mind. The user interface is very close to my Zumo 550, so i belive i will like its functionalities.

I've read a few comparisons over the net, and sometimes, the conclusions are very different. So the best is to try them and make your own opinion regarding what you find the most important features for you :)

[XPERIA X1 General] afrobunny:
Hi,

I have a Bluetooth OBD key which I want to connect to the Xperia but it seems that it doesn´t allow me to create Com ports in bluetooth which is needed.

The text under COM ports states:

"After pairing with a device, to set up a COM port tap New Outgoing Port." but the Net Outgoing Port text is not available so no new port can be created.

Is this a fault in the firmware ? Can I work around it somehow ?

I have used this with my previous Touch and it worked well with that one.

All help appreciated.
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
When you paired your OBD Key device,, did it show Serial service was available for this device?? If not you need to go back to the OBD Key, on your x1 under bluetooth devices. Select it and rediscover (refresh) the "services" it provides!!

Good Luck,

Stuart

Did you try to just leave TF3D on the weather tab for 5 - 10 mins to see if an error message eventually popped up. I know that sometimes my weather tab will say updating for a while then give me an error message.

Been awhile since I had a chance to check this thread but thanks for responding. I'll try Weather Database and see if that does it, because it's been an ongoing problem since my original post. If I figure it out I'll post the solution here.

Thanks again guys.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jouke74:
I had the same problem. The weather tab changes the server while looking for another one if the original is currently not available. Just use the program Weather Database. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408918&highlight=Weather+Database I think it was just opening the program, enter the menu, click on safe settings or ok.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Stasheck:
Hi there,

I have HTC Universal and Dell BH-200 stereo bluetooth headset.

Situation:

- WM5 ROM (for example newest KDSkamal) - after a bit of fiddling A2DP works, also HS profile is working

- WM6 ROM (for example Tomal's 8.5, 8.2) - A2DP works after fiddling, unfortunately HS profile's not working - headset turns itself off after 5-10 second of call, during which nothing can be heard

- WM6 ROM + Broadcomm stack - A2DP works flawlessly, HS doesn't.

From what I know, no WM6 device works correctly with Dell BH-200. It's interesting though, that WM5 devices appear to work. Also, I've read here that Broadcomm stack doesn't support HS profile, so out of luck here.

Now, I was trying to just overwrite WM6 BT stack dll's with ones taken from WM5, but it didn't work either - maybe that's because I was doing it rather randomly, without solid knowledge of the matter.

As I see many skilled hackers here, maybe someone would take his/hers time to help me out a bit and figure what has to be done to have working WM5 BT stack on WM6 device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Stasheck:
So I've done some primitive hacking, here are the results. I've been using files extracted from newest T-Mobile WM5 ROM, on my device there is Tomal's 8.5.

First, I just used every bth* dll file I could find and overwritten ones in Windows folder:

bthutil.dll

bthusb.dll

bthuniv.dll

bthuart.dll

bthsc.dll

bthlink.dll

bthidsvc.dll

bthhid.dll

bthcsr.dll

bthasplugin.dll

bthamb.dll

BthAGPhonebook.dll

btdrt.dll

btd.dll

btagsvc.dll

btagext.dll

After this, Uni wasn't even able to turn on GSM - no idea why.

Then I tried with just

BluetoothSetting.dll

btagsvc.dll

btagext.dll

Much better stereo - it works now, before there were lots of noise; also, headphones no longer switch off when receiving phone call; unfortunately, no handsfree support.

Will try more...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Stasheck:
OK, false alarm - just found out that I need to force pairing from the headset (using Play/Pause button) and the A2DP works, even without replacing btag[svc|ext].dll. After this sequence A2DP works, but Handsfree doesn't (but at least it doesn't turn off the headphones)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Mathyass:
maybe some reason

i have special infomration ..

I have TOmals ROM and i found this ...

if i will turn first bluetooth on my Uni and then i switch on my headpohones - everything works great. Also in my car parrot works perfect - A2DP and also i HF ...

If i will start bluetooth after bluetooth in car or headphones ... then A2DP makes sound pause ... and HF is not so clearly as usually ...

i dont know why .. but it works like this ...so try to switch BT on pohoen first and thne accesorries and youll see ...

Bye
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Stasheck:
I tried that, but to no avail.

But now the fun part started: if I extract files from Tomal's ROM nbf, they are in different size that the ones _from the same ROM_, just installed on Uni. Even better, if I overwrite installed ones with extracted ones, radio, SD, camera and so on stops working. I wonder where is connection between SD, camera, USB connection and bluetooth...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Stasheck:
Now I replaced only btagext.dll (however, I think that all this replacing effects only in disabling replaced dlls...) and best thing I achieved is that

- A2DP works almost flawlessly with Dell BH200 (if I keep correct order of switching devices on)

- HFP works with second device, Sony Ericsson HBH-PV708 (had to disable HFP profile in BH200)

Audio switches when receiving phone call.

Obviously, that's not the best solution (far from it), but it's at least something...
