make sure your BT device is connected before starting tomtom, i noticed mine coming thru phone instead of car stereo speakers yesterday and I had started tomtom in the office before leaving to check it new the address i was going to, hence the instructions came out of the phone and not my BT device.

Use "Xperia tewak" or "Advanced config" to increase the font size
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
jeah i know that but its all to buggy ... yet ^^
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
are u sure its just that? i'm pretty sure that his other font sizes are not that big (sms for example)
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
you can change the popupfnt and menufnt seperately to the main font sizes.

and make them italic... although I like the new curly font from windows 7..
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
ah great! that solved my problem (popupfnt) :)

i never seen this option before.

I have an Universal bought from Ebay, couple month ago.

In December, the flex cable died, so I bought a new one from Ebay. Today I recieved the new flex cable, and I replaced the faulty one, EXACTLY as described in the original service guide.

After I installed it, I swithed on the Universal , and everything seemd to be ok, UNTIL I used the keyboard.

Now, I have a very strange faulty keyboard. When I press the following keys: soft key 1; soft key 2; P ;O ;I ; and L, it looks like I'm pressing that key, followed by one I haven't pressed ( after left soft key '=', after right soft key 'p' ; after p 'right soft key'; after o it switches to phone menu; after l '0'; and after delete, backspace it goes to main windows menu.

I tried several flashes, but the error is the same. By the way, since I have the problems with soft keys, I cannot make a cold restart.

Before changing the flex cable, everything was ok with the keyboard.

Also today, after having this problem, I dissmantled the universal again, to the last screw and I assambled it again. The problem persisted :(

Please, if you have any ideea but buying a new keyboard PCB ( btw, I don't find one on ebay) let me know about it. Also, buying a new keyboard PCB along with the PCB would cost more than costed the entire Universal.

Thank you very much,

Waiting for your ideeas/opinions
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bulldog:
I think you have bended the keyboard by assembly. The board is very easy to bend and I have the same issues after my dis assembly. You could try to flatten it and make sure you screw it symmetrical.

keyboard is available here but is not cheap : http://www.shope2.com/Product.php?cpath=1_381_388
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bogdantimar:
Thanks a lot !

That solved my problem.

I dissambled the Universal, then I tried to unbend the keyboard as much as i could. Then, when I fastend the screws, I didn't tight the screw on the faulty half as the others.

Now, my device is working perfectly.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Perilay:
Hi guys,

This is my first post so please be gentle with me!

I have an HTC Diamond and have just bought a Bluetooth motorbike helmet, the helmet has 1 button on it. If i press and release the button the helmet tries to connect to another helmet (disconnecting from my phone). If i hold the button for 2 secs it dials my most recent contact.

Is there any way to make the diamond launch MSVC instead of dialing my last? I know there are various hacks to swap from voice dial to MSVC, but these are no use to me as the helmet never launches voice dial.

Thanks in advance!

P.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] snoopy20:
I bought a Motosonic device on ebay for my helmet. I have a separate button for connecting to another helmet (3 buttons in total). On mine, one button calls the last if held for 1 second or inits MS voice command if held for 3 secs.

This is without touching the phones settings, therefore it's an issue with your controller, namely not having enough buttons to do the feature!

I guess firmware could swap the button so it doesn't dial last and inits voice command but I'd try the manufacturer for that one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndyCr15:
I have two interphone units on my two helmets. I can connect to my phone and then use 1 press to active MSVC recognition or I hold it down to connect to the other helmet.

What type of BT helmet have you bought?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Perilay:
Thanks for the replies.

My helmet is a Viper RS121.

If I hold th button for 5 secs it turns off, haven't tried holding it for more than 2 and less than 5.........hmmm...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Perilay:
....bugger:( anything between 2 and 5 secs dials last....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] snoopy20:
It has to physically support voice reg over the hands free / headset profile.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Perilay:
Voice command works fine through the helmet mike / speakers. I just can't activate it from the helmet. I have used VITO voice2go but it's not as accurate or easy as voice command.

I use a Starcom and their BT unit with mine. More expensive solution but gives you other functionality as well

I've been looking for a bit, but haven't yet found any summary of how all thse power-saving options in Advanced Config work. I was hoping for something that gave a roundup of :

1) How much each option really saves

2) What the performance tradeoffs are

For instance, if you turn on power saving for SD, does SD access slow down? Does battery life improve measurably? Is there a momentary lag on SD access but it's fine when it gets going. -- and that's just one option of many.

Or for some of the protocol power-saving options -- do any of them interfere with service or cause problems with apps that poll for updates/downloads (like mail)?

Hello everyone,

I have a HTC Touch Cruise which is in Dutch. I have tried flashing several WM 6.1 ROMS (3+) and all have failed when the progress is starting, at 0%.

The error was the same : 260 unable to connect

I have tried from XP+ActiveSync and from a Vista notebook, with the same errors.

Do you have any thoughts?

Thank you.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] padvou:
When you plug the usb cable does it say connected in windows mobile devices center?

If not you should try disabling the windows built-in firewall or any other firewall installed. Disabling the antivirus application could help too.

Also take a look at this and this.

Hope it helps...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mrobert:
It is connected (both in Windows Mobility Center under Vista and Activesync under XP).

Antivirus was killed in XP, and the Vista one had no firewalls or AV.

Thanks for the tips :)

Hi folks

When I type in a phone number, it will be listed like e.g. 123456, but as soon as I dial that number it will be formatted to 123-456 by HTC's dialer.

Is it possible to remove this formatting so it will simply show up as 123456?

Thanks for your interest :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] khals:
Solved!!

I managed to fix this by changing my "Regional Settings" from the "English (United States)" to "English (United Kingdom)".
[XPERIA X1 General] mbworldz:
Is there a software or something to make it get better signal. I don't want to switch to another carrier for now. Sometimes if I am lucky, I get 1 or 2 bars, but mostly 1 or none. I have to walk around to find the good spot.
[XPERIA X1 General] c_legaspi:
You can just place the phone on edge mode.
[XPERIA X1 General] Aleemz:
The X1 has poor reception. My signal level has dropped down from HSDPA all over my home and city to mostly GPRS after switching phones to the X1. Often I find my phone with no service and searching for a signal in certain locations of my house.

Even when it shows the H symbol, when I try to browse the web, most of the time the phone then drops down to Edge or GPRS.

When I pop the sim card back into my other phone (HTC Polaris/Touch Cruise) I get and connect to HSDPA without any connetion problems whatsoever.
[XPERIA X1 General] randy_c:
That's one thing I hate about this phone... poor signal. Hope Sony will have an update sooooooon

I have a feeling the poor radio is a hardware issue rather than software, but I do hope I'm wrong.

Are you guys picking up 3G on ATT? My reception has been steady on the X1i. I'm connected on HSPDA most the time. However, I'd like to know whether any X1a users have picked up 3G on ATT's network. Some bloaks have posted pics of the X1is picking up 3G in the States.

I have an X1a in US with ATT. During the day, the area that I am in has a weak signal but I have always been able to receive and make calls from this area, however, my X1A drops the calls in the Auto setting. When I change, the settings in "Settings"---> "Phone"--> "Band" to "Select your network type from Auto to GSM and GSM/UMTS setting from Auto to UMTSA(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900), I am able to receive and make calls without a problem, however, the phone stays in the "EDGE" mode. I am unable to get the 3G once I go into the city...The Xperia helpline was totally clueless...Can anyone assist me with this problem...? I would hate to have to change the settings each time I leave this area. :mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] randy_c:
Have the exact same problem. When I contact Sony they act suprise to hear about poor signal. I posted what they respond to me some where here.
[XPERIA X1 General] macklobell:
:eek:That's because technical support is in Canada and only familiar with Rogers Wireless. I called corporate headquarters in NC and complained today. Hopefully, they will be more receptive to US users on the ATT network...In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions to avoid changing these settings? Does updating the Radio software solve this on the X1A?
[XPERIA X1 General] THESpideyWVU:
My reception and call quality is absolutely amazing...
[XPERIA X1 General] randy_c:
This is for X1a and problem was when connected to internet trying to get 3G or whatever.. The respond I got from sony:

Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Xperia Support.

We don't have a list of the newest updates for this phone, but I have heard nothing of your issue before, it is worth trying a reset if there is no update available.

Try resetting the hardware. To do this, hold down the two keys on the front with silver "-" signs. While you are pressing them, take the stylus and press the reset button through the top opening through the casing of the stylus.

What I also suggest is resetting the phone software via "Clear Storage".

To do this, select Start icon, then Settings, then tap the System tab. You will see Clear Storage in the top right corner.

1. The Sony Ericsson Update Service is a free download that can be found at www.sonyericsson.com, after you click on "Support" and then choose your phone model.

2. Select your country and region.

3. Under the section titled”Software and Set Up” choose, “Sony Ericsson Update Service”.

4. Download the application to your computer and install the program.

Once you have installed the program and run it, it will give you instructions on how to install it on the computer and how to run it on the phone afterwards. Please make sure the phone and the USB cable are not connected to the PC throughout the installation process. The Update Service is meant to update the software on the phone.

If you require more information, or have any other questions, please visit our website at SonyEricsson.com/X1 or call us at 1-877-7XPERIA.
[XPERIA X1 General] themgmt:
Same, reception is excellent and the first time I heard a call on the x1, the quality floored me.

I'm on AT&T and have the x1a
[XPERIA X1 General] ohiosux:
Defective?

This may sound nuts but, back in November when I originally ordered the phone, I remembered calling a Sony Style store in my area in hopes to expedite the process. I got an employee on the phone that told me they had the phones in the store but were told by Sony Corporate to send them back and not sell them. When I attempted to confirm this on a visit to the same store, the store manager was very evasive and denied that was the case. I could tell that his response seemed a bit "defensive".

Anyhow, I was relatively fortunate and got mine on December 8; purchased online from Sony. After that, I don't think the next batch made it out until mid January.

So, my conspiracy theory is that people who received the X1a prior to mid December are proud owners of handsets that STILL have whatever problem Sony recalled them for. This would seem to explain the differences found in GPS/signal quality being found by the variety of people either complaining or praising the phone. Oh, and BTW, I can confirm that contacting the Xperia support line is a complete waste. I got a female on the line that wanted me to do a hard reset on the device for the poor GPS signal. She then went further to say that I would need to subscribe to the GPS service of my phone provider to fix the problem. I had to hang up on her to avoid verbally dessimating her.
[XPERIA X1 General] jhoffa:
I have one of the "original" first batch X1as ordered on the day of release. I haven't had any of the gps problems (apart from one from using advanced configuration tool, which I posted about in your gps thread) and my reception has always seemed to be at least average or slightly above.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
The reception problem is operator (location)-dependant, seems to me.

AT&T has not implemented it's network at the same level around the whole country and nor even in the same frequency band

You shall remember several companies have "merged" thus incorporing a tower-signal puzzle. I guess those who luckily have a 3G-upgraded 850MHz tower nearby are performing better since the 850MHz freq tend to span signal over a greater area than the others
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] patlabor:
Hello together,

have my Raphael since a few weeks, had a prophet before.

now i noticed some strange behaviors that i did not had in my prophet and hope there are fixes.

1. Randomly Closing programms

sometimes (most of the time) programms are closed at random om my raph. for example i am having slickim open, and use opera to surf. when i want to check slick i go to home via hardbutton to use htc task manager but find out its closed and opera with it.

next time i have some progs open and put the cell aside and when i come back a while and all progs are closed and i am back at "today"

this renders all things besides phoning quite useless cuz i can not come back later and pick up where i left.

2. a2dp headphone only contolling htc musik/ wmp

i am using some sony ericsson bluethoot headset. i have to press play/pause to get my headset connected what starts the htc audio player and plays the first song. i no have removed the "musc" tab now wmp starts with the same behavior.. since i mostly listen to podcasts and audiobook i need bookmarking. so wmp is rather useless to me but i love mortplayer. but i allways have to get wmp stop playing musik quit back to today start mortplayer and use the touchscreen to play/pause cuz play/pause on the headset starts wmp again.

so for mp3 raphael is also quite useless and i use a dedicated mp3 player right now.

3. back button behaves "uncalculatable"

sometimes the back button works as ok/back button in the "normal" wm programs. the next time it behaves like a close button and brings me instantly back to "today" somtimes just putting the progs in background sometimes closing them compleatly.

so i dont dare using the back button cuz i dont know what he will do but use my fingertips to actually operate the "ok/x" button in the upper right corner. quite annoying

4. cant flash rom/hardspl

when i try to install hardspl every thing wents fine (incl. activesync connection)till ruu tries to find my rom version. there i get an error telling me that some important communication services could not be started and i should reboot my phone and try again.

i hope anyone can help me with my little problems and i can start enjoying my raphael.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
I had the same problem. Read the Wiki page carefully, especially note 2. Once i ran the SSPLmanual file everything worked correctly.

Cant help with the other points yet, only got my Raph today, and not had enough time to get to grips with it yet!

Why dont they make a flash tool that plugs into your micro usb port or replaces the battery cover, so we can finally take pictures with a flash?

I dont believe this would be too hard..would it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] darfri:
Using flash takes away all shades and your pictures will look like 2D drawings. Applies to any camera off course
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] kilrah:

I know NOTHING of programing these phones, but from a mechanical stand point, I'm not too bad. Is there anyway to trigger something out the USB port when the camera is ready to pop? Something so that the light doesn't have to be on constantly, but can come on only when the camera is ready to snap, like a standard digital camera works? I can probably fab up a back cover with a flash built into it...
