[XPERIA X1 General] crava:
I agree with that. Yesterday I was in a place with poor signal, and while my friends could surf the internet with their phones, my X1 kept loosing the signal :(

This is a real drawback :mad:

edit: and btw, it was locked in gsm mode... hsdpa wasnt nearly possible there.
[XPERIA X1 General] anaadoul:
... and you use your X1 in the bathroom for? :p

anyway, i'm experiancing same issue, but somehow after trying the new radio (v1.14.25.55) i noticed that it's a bit better, i now less dropped calls BUT, this one is really battery hungry when WiFi is on (with better wifi signal reception).
[XPERIA X1 General] ziTney:
haha, just msn or listening to streaming radio, or just to browse the web:p
[XPERIA X1 General] glancy:
I thought it would be to view those certain website that use lots of images, and you were complaining about the weak signal so it takes longer to load

lol :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] 9761217:
dude,X1 is not only weak in signal,but also in vibrate,I can't feel vibrating hardly.........
[XPERIA X1 General] Trudi:
Same for me, good if the signal is Ok, but sometimes the signal drops for no reason even where all my mobiles are just perfect.

And same problem with the vibrating, if you have a loose pocket in your trousers, you just can't hear it (because of its poor loudspeaker) and can't feel it vibrating.
[XPERIA X1 General] elee888:
Crap signal here too. My old iPhone 3G held onto calls better than my X1a. That's pretty sad, when the iPhone is usually at the bottom (in terms of reception quality).
[XPERIA X1 General] alex_mib:
my X1 is worse than any other phone in my home i have or had: SE S500i, SE K790i, SE P1i, Samsung i8510.

It would often look for the signal being on my bedside table, while others have 1-2 bars...
[XPERIA X1 General] fairclothsimon:
Same here, has anyone come up with a solution for this?

I'm on R3A

O2 UK

Radio version 1.14.25.55
[XPERIA X1 General] Hannigan174:
I don't know what radios you guys are using, but I get much better reception than I did on my Kaiser.

I get HSDPA in a larger area than I did with Kaiser, and no dropped calls. I don't live in a metro area so I presume my signals are very average. I do drop to edge, but very infrequently. I suspect that there are other factors affecting your reception.

As far as vibrate goes someone did make a fix, don't remember where I saw it, but I think it runs the risk of damaging phone because it increases power running to vibrator beyond what it is designed for. Could be wrong about this, just trying to recall from an earlier post. Frankly I am fine with vibration level.
[XPERIA X1 General] Xperrier:

probaly a problem of the Metal case

then did someone try to have better connection without the metal cover?, if so, how to have another cover? make one, made of ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hedphelym:
Hi,

I'm developing a simple application for my winmobile phone,

the application is to controll (for now) winamp with the phone.

(Also gonna add support for other apps).

I got tired of not being able to controll it from anywhere in my appartment,

so i started developing this solution.

Now i search some info on how to make a simple Today plugin for my app,

so that you don't have to have the full gui open all the time..

Anyone who has some good links for some tutorials?

(I code in c#)

Screenshots is attached.

If people here want's the apps, then let me know..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blazingwolf:

Today screen plugins can only be done in native code, so c++. But there is a wrapper for .net. Kinda old though.

There is this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms879585.aspx for info too. In some of their examples they have a today screen plugin. here

I know one major difference:

It is 0.4 closer to WM 7.0 :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:

Well, i found my blueAngel and charger, so ill flash it and see what its like! (If the phone still works =D )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
cool man!! do up some screenies so we can see :) oh and if you have Grabit or some app like that try making a image of the rom off your phone if you can we might be able to work with it then :)

Keep up the great work Super Cooks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FactionOne:
Rats! My mint condition Blue Angel with original ROM still in place is 260 miles away.

...In fact, this has got me thinking about the BA again. If only I could hard-wire a GPS receiver to it somehow (so I wouldn't have to mess about with Bluetooth and two car-chargers) my Kaiser wouldn't be on TomTom duties - the BA's mahoosive screen would be so much nicer :)

As soon as I'm within arms length of my BA I'll try the flash...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Mines on its last legs, backup battery is 100% dead, and the screen only works badly, but even then the finger scrolling works really well.

I cant get IE8 working, as It wont sync with my computer to put the files on.

the screen is so ugly compared to my Hermes though :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Philux:
Where you able to do a Rom Dump? Is the reason you could not sync do to Windows 7 or the BA?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silentP:
Inside the file were 2 folders. One was the blue angel ROM, the other was add-ons. One of the addons was IE8. i couldn't get it to work either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yea i couldn't get those to work on 6.1 build either.. still looking into it dude.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Windows 7, I had to do some iffy driver screwy to get it to flash, like vista, and It wont connect atm.

Ill fix it with time. Just not tonight :P

Did you try the cab as well?

Also, I cant find a SD card reader, so im a bit screwed for dumping the rom atm :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
dude run the 128 or 64 meg one.. after you dump just hook the ppc to your computer and copy the .bin file

IMPORTANT NOTE (thanx MDAIIIuser)

YOU MUST NOT put it back into another device!!!

YOU MUST LOCK THE SD CARD FIRST!!!!!

or read the SD with card reader on your desktop PC.

Otherwise, you will rewrite the dump with your own rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bingo1010:
Check this

Tons more like it, then Im getting a new laptop and installing REAL windows 7 beta

And BTW do you all have windows 7, its free from Microsoft's webpage available as beta and you have to download it to your comp & burn it to dvd and then install it from the DVD, so far I need a faster comp because mine is just slightly above the requirements right now.

So I made some cool backgrounds in the meantime

be well!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] burkay:
By the way I checked the provided video and if that is a plain vanilla version of 6.5 then we can say that there are some great interface improvements. Well, this is only natural due to the amazing version jump from 6.1 to 6.5.

Some key improvements seem to be

* Today screen: looks like something I have seen in the Tornado forums.

* Touch scroll: in almost all components of the UI

* Better Device Lock: also known as slide to unlock

* different today screen modes? I am not quite sure about this one. the video is quite blurry

All in all, this update seems to be a major one. This is going to bring new excitement to our Hermes devices.

Woah guys! It seems you're getting pretty busy on this pretty fast!

I'm not sure how much use I could be, but if you need someone to be brave during early flashing, I've got three Hermes and so long as at least one of them has a stable ROM on it I'm not too worried about what happens to the other two in the short term...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] burkay:
I hope that doesn't turn into a big hoax.

As I said earlier, the UI in the video is one that I am familiar with from my Tornado. I don't remember its name but it is a very famous UI for smartphones. I can only assume that somebody from MS ported it to PPCs. Also the touch effects can easily be achieved with existing software. But built in support is always welcome of course.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Too unstable to be officially leaked in my opinion.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Philux:
I read in the other device forums that the kernel is still a 6.1 kernel. Any validation to that?

Anyway, keep up the great work Josh!!!

have it ported to my HD but didnt get the nice UI as shown in video, also build not stable get random freezes and etc. Its a fast build but not stable .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silentP:
Well, that would explain the ROM download had the .cabs attached to it. I think it was to try and pretty it up. Did you try the cabs?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silentP:
You know the ****ter of this is, we will have to use so much of later builds (21109, 21014, etc) to make this stable, we're not going to be much better of than what we are now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Dutty!!! Welcome to the hermes hood.. it's a honor seeing your posts here man! yea this build is not very stable.. too many files to replace to make stable... i'm gonna have to do deep analasys on rgu's to see what is different to port components.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] skippyd:
Thats because there are cab files that turn that on.... there not in the Kitchen...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
ok thanks for claryfing this UI bit up, but the strangest thing I saw with this build was although it ported ok and booted, it didnt show the first splash screen and also didnt run configuration so it seems a lot need to be done, I flashed back to my older build didnt test the pie sorry
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
hi bro no worries, i just saw that I need to install cabs to get the nice UI so I will have one more play tomorrow. good luck with the port. this build is not the latest 6.5 build so probably why we are having trouble with it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] burkay:
any chances that we get our hands on the cab files for the UI? or did I miss a link here? I would love to have that lovely smartphone UI which is much much better than the stock windows mobile today screen.

manila is extremely taxing for hermes, htc home is old and dull.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Im trying out the cabs atm, If they work, ill let you know.

Edit: I have installed them all, all they have done is make my phone very slow, and break ie, so, seems they wont work without a rom based on WM6.5 (no surprise), not atm anyway. Hard Rest time!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
i have got a copy on my raph and it seems to be working ok. it is nothing really special, no real difference to 6.1. hopefully there are a couple other builds coming out in the next couple of days. someone here will get their hands on it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yea somthing cleaner and more stable too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anryl:
As said in Raph forum the ie crap its faster a litle bit touch response is better a bit but thats it folks the build is so f@@@g BETA it is no use to port it yet

Leave it for the next releases from better devices as the BA the source from BA its working but .............. for ................ what ?

Last usable builds were 21109 - 21014

U have to use Da_G port then port it to 96dpi his SYS will boot just fine

after screen alignment u have to soft reset then u will get the wm65 to see and can install the cab of ie8 . the other released cabs will freeze the device.

Til now just wait and see what Da_G says :D
