[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Identity Fraud:
So, I have the default ROM, the only thing I've ever really done on my phone is remove bloatware and instal HTC Home to give my today screen a fresher look. I heard that when you update to Windows 6.1 that the start menu should now appear on the bottom rather than the top left. I'm running 6.1 now and the button has not moved.

Also, my friend has a WinMo phone, on his phone using IE he can go to this website: http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/dfttsmobilesdk.php and use the text box to enter words and have it synthesized into a sound file that is played through the media player. On my device the text box and drop down buttons never get rendered. His phone has nothing modified to it, at all. So I'm not sure what my phone is missing that his has...

Also, random... even though I don't use the default today screen, I did notice something odd. The top bar that list the date also listed the time. How could I get the phone to just show the date? Or is that just somthing the HTC Today cab did in order to let it function properly?

Thanks!

Edit: As of my last post, I discovered that the text to speech site will render correctly IF I'm connected to my computer via USB/Active Sync. But if I take out the USB and exit out of IE then try to load that site, I again find it never loads correctly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dancj:
I don't know where you heard that. The Start Menu is still at the top in WM 6.1

You can change this with KaiserTweak or PocketToolman.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Identity Fraud:
I forget what website it was, but it listed that MS moved the start button to the bottom. I'll look into the tweak software to edit stuff further.

Now for the issue with IE. Is it missing some sort of Java plugin?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Identity Fraud:
Hmm update.

I've discovered that the only way I can get this site to correctly render is when the phone is connected to my computer through Active Sync.

But when I remove it, close IE and reload it that page no longer renders....

So I hope that helps someone figure out why it's not working when disconnected from USB.

So does this mean theres some setting that I'm overlooking?
[Touch HD General] loadme:
hey there,

after i installed Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 from the official MS homepage, i softreseted my device

my touchFlow is gone..

phone seems to work properly, but there is no touchFlow after booting.

does anyone knows help?

greetings
[Touch HD General] loadme:
i uninstalled it, and my touchflow returned.

but since there are some hints, to install 3.5, because many software needs it,

is there any solution known?
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
My TouchFlo stays enabled after installing the Framework. Maybe you can just activate it again (Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items) after installing the framework once again.
[Touch HD General] loadme:
i figured out, that it doenst seems to be the framework

after changing registry values myself everything is fine

after a soft reset those changed values take effect, work properly (f. example "geo-tagging @camera" and "4 icons each line in program tab")

but my touchflow is disabled

if i undo my changes in registry, touchflow comes back instantly

i ll reinstall the framework again and test this thing out

i've managed somehow to delete 3 of the panels on my x1.how can I restore them without soft reset?
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
deleted as in removed them from the panel screen ?

in which case you can just readd them

if you deleted the binarys themselfs you can reinstall them

[XPERIA X1 General] emigi:
i think i've deleted them completely.i can't re-add them.and they are not listed in the link.i think the one i need is called "sony ericsson panel" the one with the colored light.i've also deleted the fish panel but it's not a big problem.
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
this doesnt ahve the original se panel.. ive been looking for the last hour!

can you please post the link for the se panel please??
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I've given you the link for the original SE Panels already.

There's no cab for them in the roms. Jack built a cab of each of the panel folders in the rom!

we are talking about this right?

1. X1 Panel package to add panel back (divided into sub cabs)
[XPERIA X1 General] Ruudfood:
How do I remove a panel? There are 2 SE panels, which is 1 more than I really need. Can I get rid of one of them?
[XPERIA X1 General] emigi:
that's right.
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
Im making this thread in the hope that we can make a joint list and things can get crossed off-

edit: i will add anything that may be possible to be corrected by software fixes. whilst things like " you have to open the case to get the sd card/soft reset are very valid, there is nothing we can do im afraid!!!

Here are a list of the main things that really annoy me:

1) It takes ages to open up the SMS inbox/missed calls, sometimes a few seconds

2) there is a delay between someone calling you and your phone ringing

3) Videos are very jerky and not smooth unless i convert them and all that stuff which i shouldnt need to. i assume this is because we cant make use of the hardware acceleration?

4) no good games- emulators dont work.

5) Ring tone too weak

6) vibrate too weak

7) when im on the phone and i get someone else on call waiting, the party i am speaking to cant hear what im saying

8) The close / ok button on the top right are way too small.

9) no official flash support for youtube...

10) opera keeps on crashing
[XPERIA X1 General] mo.ammi:
8) When using the keyboard, just a small nudge on top of the screen turns it into portrait mode, annoying when sending a text.

9) The close / ok button on the top right are way too small.

10) Have to open the case to remove the SD-card
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
11) Lack of updates, news, panels, etc. from Sony Ericsson... not a single screenshot, news or anything since release

12) Hidden softreset button
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
") no good games- emulators dont work."

with wvga fix i have gotten all games i used on my old himalaya to work just fine

with x1 but of cause if you dont cound wvga fix

"10) Have to open the case to remove the SD-card"

yeah thats a problem

"other general responsive and delay issues"

seem to be a general windows mobile issue

at least i had them with all wm devices i had
[XPERIA X1 General] Xkan:
13) no official flash support for youtube...
[XPERIA X1 General] michaelthemage:
I don't think the removal of the back is a 'problem' but surely a fraking INCONVENIENCE.

I agree with all those points so far and could certainly list even more but unless this will become a 'rant post', makes no sense for me to post this. But if one looks at all the posts in here and all those problems that are posted, one will find that there is very much that is wrong with this X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
well any that you add, i will add to the first list, so hopefully in time we can get them resolved... hopefully
[XPERIA X1 General] mo.ammi:
Well it sure annoys me!

I find the lack of support and / or updates annoying too

I've gained new found respect for Nokia being used to Nokia Beta Labs.

+ The loud HangUp tone.

I'd like to find the person who came up with that and just smack him in the face!

/rant
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
id like to punch in the face the person that decided to have a 3 second delay in answering and hanging up the phone!!! what the hell is the point of that.
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
also no problem here. try a different ROM perhapst?
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
the amount of complete fools who seem to have bought one just because its the latest SE phone, without bothering to research it.

Then become seemingly incapable of reading the manual and instead ask the same basic questions over and over again.....
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Couldn't agree more. e.g. Someone come to a "developers" forum and complaint no "offical" youtube support :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] mo.ammi:
Well, at least you can change that with Advanced Configuration Tool.

cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
well thats hang up only
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
or where to change the ringtone: arrrrggghhh!
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
But ""developers" forum and complaint no "offical" youtube support" is actually right,

as well why SE oficially didn't install bloody FlashLite 3.1 on it (as well as HTC's have it).

I mean - it shouldn't be my job to instantly tweak an expensive smartphone, right?

Anyway, one thing annoys me is OperaMobile 9.5 crashing in some situations.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
You mean other than in settings/sounds and notifications??
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
I bet he was joking!
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Nobody's perfect, no phone is perfect, but my SEX1 is the BEST OVERALL PHONE AROUND TO DATE

Please beware: MOST of your complaints are related to windows mobile and NOT the phone itself.

KEEP IN MIND: "windows" UI was designed 10 YEARS AGO for slow, low-mem PDAs with 320x240 screens. TEN YEARS later we are still using the same archaic obsolete UI (eg. white, simple background, tiny soft-keyboard, 2-options-on-each-tab menus for setting, no thumb-driven UI...). WM UI is a dinosaur and that's why HTC develped TouchFlo3D as a "mask" for windows´s ugliness and user-unfriendlyness, BUT the widespread windows platform lets many people develop apps, innovations, tweaks etc and that´s what this is all about

If I want to compaint, well, I can allways find something about any phone to complaint about...

Still want my 2 cents??

The lack of a REAL dedicated VOICE-REC button is killing me,

but that's only me, my usage, my world, my way...
[XPERIA X1 General] toucam:
Still remember the time when I was counting the day until SE release an "official upgrade" for their firmware for my P900 on their website. What a completely joke!

I'm not sure why you even bothered mentioning Nokia's support for their handsets, if you have a Win Mo device you are having access to the best support in the world.

Have a look around, upgrade your ROM because the stock ROM, be it your operator's or HTC's is crap, then you wouldn't have had the performance issues in the first place.

The X1 is easily the most stable device I ever had, and had owned quite a fair amount of XDAs in the past years, starting with O2 XDA ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well there are two different stories:

1. X1 state out of the box

2. X1 and WM world

---

1. X1 out of the box is good but I think should be better

2. WM gives endless possibilities.

As for me, issues are here, but yes - it's absolutely great device anyway.

Top.

P.S. I don't use any other ROM's than the stock one, and it's my way...
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Did Sony lie to you and say that Flashlite is installed and support?

If you don't satisfy what's being built in and don't want to take time to tweak, go buy an iPhone or Nokia, and you should not buy an WM phone in the beginning. The beauty of WM is easy to free and easy to customize no matter it's a cheap Gigabyte M800 or expensive X1. Will you complaint Microsoft or Dell if you PC is not preloaded w/ flash player???
[XPERIA X1 General] colourblind:
EVERYTHING... i regret buying this phoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Oh you're so damn right jackleung, this is what makes WM special (those who complaint should try customizing a nokia or iphone) I love this forum.

Hmmmm... please let me disagree:

YES I would complaint if my new "Windows 7" PC shows up with the same UI as Windows 3.1, and that's exactly how I feel about WinMo 6.1: the UI has not evolved in 10 years !! Same UI from my very first ole HP jornada back in year 2000 !! :confused: AIN'T ??

@Microsoft: "future" is written with FINGERS, not a stylus
[XPERIA X1 General] kitsVA:
To me without TF3D cabs for Xperia, everything about it annoys me.

I waited almost forever for the US version to come out as it looked damn good from pictures. Once I had for few days I was getting it ready to be returned. Then I decided to give it one last chance when I ran into XDA-Forums. The TF3D helped me give a longer life to it. Still not sure if I will keep it as I am wondering why not just get an HTC phone with TF3D as nothing from HTC is as expensive as X1.

Most annoying things about X1:

1. Opening the battery cover couldn't have been any worse.

2. Several months after the X1i release SE didn't seem to talk of any new panels or any upgrades to X1. This gives me a feeling that they decided to forget about X1.

3. Coming from SE W910i, I find it weird that there is no simple single button way to browse All Calls, Incoming Calls, Outgoing Calls, and Missed Calls. This feature is there on almost all their non-smart phones.

4. It takes almost forever to fully charge the battery.
[XPERIA X1 General] nixx-X1:
I agree with WM being crap.

the X1 itself is great :D

Had an Iphone before this .. my first and last apple device.. sure.. fancy looks, nice (and better) touchscreen feedback.. but very limited options to 'make it your own' and rebuild stuff freely.

and as for stability... the X1 with WM overrules the iphone..that thing is sensitive!
[XPERIA X1 General] mybeat:
2 things annoy me the most

1. Screen that wobble when in closed position

2. Not X1 by itself, but opera that crashes, no history of opened pages(like on desktop if it crash and you open it again all your tabs are saved.), and when opening a link in a new tab, and new tab becames active.

Any way to change tab behavior ?
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well, you don't get it. It annoys me that this device is not having things other WM, HTC originated devices have. It's not about lie, it's about stupid inconveniece. In a very expensive device.

Instead of criticizing me, better find an answer why the hell this Flash was not installed by SE if it's implemented easily by tweak and present on other HTC's.

And of course I would not be here if I'd not take X1 as generally one of the best smartphones ever had in my hands.

What doesn't mean I can't express critial opinions too, that's forum. Especially this thread.

As I wrote, the most annoying thing is Opera crashing sometimes, however I still remember it's beta.
[XPERIA X1 General] lashger@hotmail.com:
I wish i had bought HTC HD :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] GOF007:
Disagree.

What you called dinosour UI is just a basic UI that everyone can operate on(remember it is "Windows"), if you want something more you can just add it up, unlike iPhone which you cant change any UI. Flexibility is the strong point of WM.

For the personal openion, for me TF3D is no so capable and I consider it cripple my device. I can do anything in one screen with Pocket Plus and some other plugin(which TF3D cant). The limited flexibility of TF3D make it difficult to personalize the usage.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Yeah, for me Panels rule. As for functionality.

I'm happy SE didn't go the TF3D way.
[XPERIA X1 General] rotsu:
Im sure iv looked up advance config many times. could not find anything related to that. where is it ?
[XPERIA X1 General] khyguy:
Ahh the things i hate about this phone:

1. Button press is awful (feels annoyingly like a keychain game)

2. Sony Ericssons utter abandonment of anyone who bought this phone(read no new updates)

3. Clunky

4. Battery cover is already scratched

5. Bought the phone in Dubai and they still dont have screen covers for it.

Wish id bought the Bold instead :(
[XPERIA X1 General] monnom:
-Earpiece volume is too high, even in the lowest position.

-Backspace in opera is the back command. It is not possible to delete something in a form?

-Very bad touch keyboard (yeah, I know, you can use the touch HD keyboard. But shame on SE for this)

-Bluetooth bug: Bluetooth disables every 3min. SE says its a feature.. embarrassing support.

-weak (and loud!) vibra

-bad keyboard, bad layout
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Media Panel is not showing all the pictures, I mean one of them is shown as damaged.

However in Pictures is fine...
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Today after changing many times the background of Today, X1 refused to open any panel besides default today. Had to reset.

After that, all the pictures are correctly displayed on Media panel....
[XPERIA X1 General] anheuer:
the camera..

nothing is good about the camera.

the rest i like (i didnt before i flashed to custom rom)
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
If you think the Xperia camera's bad, you should play around with the Nokia E71-2. Even after the latest firmware release, the Xperia's camera is still better.

The most annoying thing to me about the Xperia is the lack of voice commands. (At least the version I bought does not have voice commands.)

Spending close to $800 on a phone and then having to pay for voice commands is annoying.
[XPERIA X1 General] anheuer:
Personally i don't see anything software related to be a weak point.

i always use a custom rom and my issues are fixed.

For me all that matters is hardware.

and the only thing i don't like about the hardware is the camera..

ooh and that the mini usb does not have the audio support like the touch.

now i cant use my htc wired remote anymore :(

and i cant find any wired remotes for audio jack.
[XPERIA X1 General] human75:
*no com button.

*no inbox(message)button.

*no voice record button.

also too much crashing is annoying me also there is no ctrl and left-right arrows in qwerty keyboard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] charlie71:
I've found a lot about the keyboard fix issue where the symbols are incorrect. But my question is this:

Is there a way to change just one character on my keyboard? For example, FN-Q gives me the symbol ~

but I never use that. I use the quote symbol all the the time, but have to open up the symbol screen to get it. If I could somehow edit the registry so that when I press FN-Q I got the quote symbol, that'd be GREAT!

I'm using the AT&T 8525, with CRC 13.3 ROM

thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gsand:
There's an easy fix for that.

1. Open Device Update

2. Install Schaps Advaced Config.

3. Open Advanced Config

4. Go to Input > Keyboard Layout

5. Select AT&T/Cingular

6. Tap "Done"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] charlie71:
Customized, NOT standard Keyboard

The Standard AT&T Keyboard layout is what I have already. I'm wanting to change it, or just change 1 key, the Fn-Q key. Is this possible?

thanks.
[Touch HD General] deyanp:
Hi,

Are there noticable speed improvements when comparing a HTC Touch HD with the initial stock ROM (I think it is 1.14) and the latest cooked ROMs like the one from Dutty or Laurentius, etc?

I am asking because we tested today the phone of a colleague with TomTom 7.450 and iGo 8.0 and not updated ROM 1.14 but with SD Card tune, AGPS disabled etc. and both navigation systems were quite slow, quite a big GPS lag, there were also freeze problems (my colleague says the htc freeze fix was installed, but as he was not sure he tried again and it says incorrect version now). In fact when I compared the navigation system/GPS performance with my old HTC Magician with external bluetooth GPSSlim236 with TomTom 6, the difference was so much in advantage of my old phone ... I cannot rely on the the HTC TOuch HD to reach a destination ...

I wanted to buy the HTC Touch HD so much, but now if the device/GPS is so laggy I guess I must wait for another 1 year, until the HTC Tegra phones come out ...
