@romeo0119: nice to know other people think the same.

@gtrab: Obviously you never used the panels before. The concept is okay, but even the Sony Ericsson default ones don't fit into that very concept (e.g. radio panel) And they are slow.

The comparison with the Ferrari: If the Ferraris had as many issues as the X1, every seconmd Ferrari would have its paint coming off in the carwash and cracks in the steering wheel after a week. AND Ferrari would say they know nothing about it. See, I don't blame SE for my broken headphone jack, that can happen. But I do blame them for the sticky thread about the cracks (20+ pages).

And about the 1000 dollars: Here in Switzerland (Europe, Google it), everything is more expensive but usually we also earn a lot more money. So 1000 is okay with me.

I just wanted to say SE did essentially nothing, all the work comes from xda-dev or HTC, so why should I buy from SE again rather than support HTC which really push the WM market?

(don't mind the mistakes, I'm writing from my X1 =))
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Hmm, just a remark - xda work is for HTC and X1 too, in fact HTC does not offer anything substantially more than X1 in any way.

As for Ferrari, actually these cars have amazing amount of issues besides their amazing engines, including buttons and controls falling apart in their control desk/interior...

I understand you somehow, however I use panels and consider them ultimately best for me, better than any UI solutions....
[XPERIA X1 General] emuneee:
I disagree with most of your points but a couple. I was at the Crackberry forums and have seen the Blackberry storm receive or have leaked about 5 or so official firmware updates adding new features and fixing bugs and enhancing peeformance. We have gotten exactly zero in a longer duration of time. Now the X1 didn't have all the problems the Blackberry Storm had, but its not perfect either. I don't expect any firmware updates...SE software support isnt as good as RIMs. Luckily there is so much you can do with Windows Mobile out of the box.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Yes, we have lack of upgrades so far and that's no good.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Indeed, there's plenty of ROM upgrades

CHECK HERE

Many ROMs to choose from... and this is just the beginning

Don't know if there's such a customization level on let say, a Blackberry, Nokia N97 or iPhone

I think of my Xperia as my Vaio laptop: I've never seen an upgrade, but it's a windows powerhouse and I keep cumstomizing it all the time. I don't care about "upgrdes", maybe because I've nad no problem at all
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
of course there's custom roms, some working really well but not anyone whitout issues...

I think that at least SE shoudl release an update (for normal people who don't want to mess with custom roms and breaking it's warranty) to at least fix the bluetooth issue... do you think it's normal that I can't use my X1 with my bt car handsfree made by SE?

and yes, the vaio seem like a comedy... my mom got one last year and since then no updates, no bios... no drivers... we'll never get a VAIO again... we'll go for a dell like the one I have, lot's of updates, new drivers, always improving things and enhancing features.

**** SE... why the can't be like SCEE that release lot's of PS3 upgrades?.
[XPERIA X1 General] ruddsamuppet:
Don't agree. Had one now for 2 months and not much wrong with it. In my humble opinion the phone goes well. You must have got a dud.
[XPERIA X1 General] GOF007:
For me, X1 is the best WM Phone to date, no problem at all.

I really... and completely dont care about official update. I'll use only customized ROM anyway, cus it can go beyond any official ROM can do.

Only thing I care is how will they repair my phone when it fu.ked up.
[XPERIA X1 General] fhsieh:
I understand where OP is coming from, but let me just say this: Sony Ericsson support might suck, and the X1 may be plagued with all kinds of small problems, but you shouldn't automatically expect HTC to be any better. You should judge the phones themselves, because there are a number of problems with HTC phones too (and HTC support can also be pretty bad at times).

The only actual difference between SE and HTC is that SE has only released 1 (WinMo) phone -- whereas HTC already has dozens -- meaning the X1 alone is speaking for all of SE. It is fully possible for SE to release a X2 which completely blows everything else out of the water; if they're smart and fix all the mistakes they learned from the X1.

If you want to be rational about it, you ought to say that you'll never buy the X1 again, and just leave it at that. Depending on your expectations, it's still possible that HTC's own phones might not be good enough, at which point, several months later, you might be in the HTC threads telling everyone to boycott HTC and instead support the iPhone. :p

(Just kidding)

It might sound like I'm nitpicking, but rants seldom get us anywhere so it's good to take a step back and try to look at everything objectively.
[XPERIA X1 General] xperian:
Alright, you have a point there. Three things:

- SE support was fine, I got it back repaired after 3 weeks (christmas time, so 3 weeks is okay)

- I'm not telling to boycott SE. I am merely wondering why almost everything usable comes from these forums or HTC rips. I think it would be more fair to actually buy a HTC device when using all the TouchFlo stuff and things.

- The hardware itself is about the same with HTC/SE, but I think it's the software that makes it or breaks it... I hope SE will put more effort into it with the X2.
[XPERIA X1 General] GOF007:
As HTC produce X1, I think HTC also responsible for firmware development on X1 too.

It is not so difficult to understand why support on HTC branded products is better than on X1, X1 is not their brand and X1 is their competitor.

It is not good for HTC to make X1 equal or better than their own products.
[XPERIA X1 General] ookiller:
Meh, I have owned over 5 Sony Ericsson cell phones so far and have had no problems with them that is until I got the Xperia:mad:! Why is the most expensive Sony Ericsson phone I have owned the worst I have ever had? This phone is not worth the $1,300CAD+ that $147 import fee I paid for it. I have waited a while trying different roms and programs before saying anything bad about it because I had hope Sony would get their act together :confused: but now...

Like its embarrassing when one of my friends are testing my Xperia out and it freezes up on them when i tell them how much I paid for it lol... I’m wondering how many times have you guys had to hard reset your Xperia’s? My Xperia works great! When I’m not using it...

Hi guys, well not to make a short story long, i cut down a few images some of you might reckognize, to fit the xperia screen res and just thought that some of you might find them useful... enjoy!

i just noticed that i put this in rom dev; could one of you mods move this to the general x1 forum please? my bad;

ok so i added a few more, just because i got bored and didn't have anything better to do... enjoy :)

and where are the wallpapers? only these four?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] grayme:
How many bananas before you have a bunch? :)

One, a couple, a few, a bunch, many...? :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dimushor:
i would say that four walls this is a few wallpapers, a bunch is a little more. this is how i understand the word "bunch":).

just to rest your case i will therefore change the topic of the thread to make it more appropriate :> also, apologies for those mislead and lured to read this thread by an empty promise of 5+ wallpapers :)

It's still misleading; a few is three and you've got four....:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skycamefalling:
I suggest googling for eee pc wallpapers -it has the same screen resolution as the x1 and there are hundreds of nice pics around the net.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] elite-fusion:
here are a few more guys

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mikebem:
and a few more ... :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
more ??

That's a BUNCH more wallpapers, ain't ??

:D :p

PS: Attached goes my banana, I just love this image so much I copied it from the ROM and exported it to JPG. I use it as my splash screen instead of the freaking green windows image

[Touch HD General] Pytagoras:
Haven't done this benchmark myself, but your write speed seemed very low. Try tnyynt SD TuneUP.cab, give it a search (tuneup).
[Touch HD General] kkchan:
Hi,

I have installed this cab. Storage Card only benchmark show extreme fast performance. However, Main test File System show slow. I guess Main Test is testing ROM/RAM instead of storage card.

EDITED: I have kaspersky mobile security installed. Do you think it slow down my gadget? I ever try to stop it real-time protection and re-run the benchmark. It has 10-20% improvement, but still not as good as benchmark posted from other site.

[Touch Pro CDMA] daiviien:
Hello,

Is anyone else having problems getting their phone to charge when it is plugged in?? I always have the hardest time to get it to charge while I am talking on it. Some times it works but then it will just stop charging and the only way to get it charging again is to hang up the phone, unplug, replug the wire in and call the person back.

Also, is anyone having problems with the touch screen where you will be typing a text message with the on screen keyboard and the screen goes off on you?

Thanks

D
[Touch Pro CDMA] gpuckett:
Yes, I have been having a similar problem with my TouchPro. On Friday's I have back-to-back calls. The last two weeks, my phone has completely run down even though it was plugged in the entire time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] glewis101:
Hi,

I recently had my diamond return to me from HTC (screen repair) and as part of the normal process they flash the latest rom when they return the device.

Now i have the latest 2.03 rom and 2.03 SPL (did not know there was a 2.03 SPL)

Now for the problem..... I cant seem to flash to a hard SPL ie 1.24 or 1.40, i have tried them all and i have tried the manual method (no luck).

Prior to me sending off my diamond i had flashed the 1.24 spl with no issues.

I have looked all over the forum and i can't find any mention of a 2.03 SPL and i am wondering is this new SPL prevents you from flashing to any older/other SPL versions.

If any one has any ideas please help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] darckreign1984:
:)_)_?_:?

problems because of the SPL?

There is a good part to the new SPL?

could someone get this SPL? for a separate installation?

thanks :d
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] glewis101:
Yeah it is strange i had no idea there was a new one until i tried to flash and it shows spl 2.03 on the boot loader screen.

If someone knows how i can get a copy of this SPL off my device i will post it for all to look at.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] glewis101:
bump...Loads of people have looked at this, no one with any ideas ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littlej:
if i remember corectly i had it on my phone also, but i could change it...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] glewis101:
ahhh interesting..... which SPL do you now have on your diamond ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] K69:
You have to use SSPL.

Just flashed HardSPL 1.24 over 2.03.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] darckreign1984:

y want to instal spl 2.03 to test a modified room:)
[Shift General] jinvox:
Is there any news about HTC making a revamped model at all?

I'm really curious as to waiting for the Shift to really drop in prices ($1000) in this state of the economy is asking a lot but hey at least this model can still woop the Sony Vaio P-Series anytime!

I personally would like to see one in an MID form like the Gigabyte m528 or the upcoming Velocity Micro m5 and hopefully it'll use an Intel Atom Processor like the newer ones and heck throw in a Moorestown chip for the phone side! And yes please have it make calls out of the box **wishful thinking**
[Shift General] fadimck:
No Sir

nothing in their plans for 2009, the only one is the advantage not Shift
[Shift General] StarTAC Fan:
Looks like it's a one off, dead end product.

Let's admit the obvious. There will be no Shift 2.

Further developement of the Shift has been halted because it didn't sell well enough. Of course, that is traceable back to HTC themselves in poorly implementing what could have been a really good idea and brining it to the market far behind its competitors.

The bright folks here at XDA have done a better engineering job, aftermarket, on the Shift than HTC has.
[Shift General] Pfeffa-rah:
Well... at least the shift can make phonecalls now!!

We "just" need BT for our headsets and acces to the SD card and then it will still be the very best device out there. Even with slow CPU and low mem :)

grtz,

Pfeffa-rah
[General Questions and Answers] fcordas:
Boas.

Preciso p.f. e de forma urgente de uma ajuda com o meu HTC TYTN. O que se passou foi que tentei instalar uma ROM do WM 6.1 e deu buraco nos 47%.

Depois disso tentei retirar a bateria e voltar a iniciar o activesync mas o mesmo nunca mais estabeleceu ligação com o pc. Agora não lhe consigo tentar instalar mais nenhuma ROM.

Gostaria que me ajudassem pois já tentei fazer o Hard Reset (vi como se fazia neste fórum) bem como carregar no botão da câmara e de seguida no power mas mesmo assim nada resolvi.

Agradeço desde já e antecipadamente toda a ajuda que me possam dar nesta matéria. Obrigado!

[Touch HD General] afhstingray:
Hi,

im just wondering if you guys who have touchHD's have experienced any problems, in particular with games, being compatible due to the complete lack of hardware buttons?

im considering making this my next phone, but am worried about this

thanks
[Touch HD General] mcano:
it's not compatible just because of lack hw buttons, it's also incompatible because of wide resolution. I'm having hard time with almost every software, not just games.
[Touch HD General] afhstingray:
oh man, seriously??

does the software just show in part of the screen or will it not run at all??

what about the buttons.....what kind of stuff have you found that cant be played/used since it lacks them?
[Touch HD General] afhstingray:
ok, i just found the sticky on programs compatible with the touch HD.....

seems like quite a lot of stuff works, but quite a lot dosent as well.....

:(

what i need to know is, are there any current HD owners who wishes they bought an xperia or diamond instead? not hardware wise but in terms of application compatibility..
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
There's a wiki on software compatibility which you should consult.

On Xperia you'll have the same problem, as it uses the same resolution from what I remember.
[Touch HD General] jonajuna:
no

watch a movie, surf the net, work some spread sheets and so on

then say whether youd rather have some buttons or that huge screen

if you want both, youll end up with a laptop not a palmtop

I'll sacrifice some games (as this is all we are really talking about) for the excellence elsewhere

any ways, i have a psp for gaming
[Touch HD General] afhstingray:
true, i havent played any games on my touch dual for the past year...i suppose its only games that would be affected. and going through the list i see enough games which look appealing anyway.
[Touch HD General] crashDebug:
furthermore being it a new device the software just still isn't there... but it will come :)
[Touch HD General] afhstingray:
well that depends on the popularity of WVGA...i reckon VGA is the standard....WVGA might take a while to become mainstream, if at all, no?

would be cool to see some driving games like on the iphone that take advantage of the G sensor lol....

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Kevbodian:
Download a file (found here) called Diamond TF3D Config. It will allow you to change your tf3d to english. It should work on your raphael as well (raph is x05ht, diamond is x04ht.

If you want an english rom, flash hardspl and then the rom of your choice. This will void your warranty, however, so if possible do lots of reading and then make backups of your phones ipl spl etc so that you can restore it in case you need warranty work.

Warning: if you install an english rom, you will have a hell of a time getting your MMS working again. But if you are on the packetfull you could just use gmail.

Alright, I might as well prove mods don't know it all. I'm thinking about purchasing a new Vogue and going with Sprint. I've got a few questions here.

1) I think I've gathered that GPS capability is on this phone...it just has to be activated with proper settings or a new ROM. Will someone set me straight on this?

2) What are your thoughts on battery life?

3) What are your thoughts on call reception and service?

4) How is the build quality?

Radio Shack is getting rid of the last ones for $19.95 w/a new contract. Though I don't like the idea of getting an older phone (I've had a Wizard for 3 years now) I love the form factor and as long as XDA is around and these things are upgradable, I'll probably enjoy it.

Dang, this board is dead...I guess we'll just have to close it up, hehehe.
[Touch CDMA General] manifest3r:
1) The Vogue DOES have GPS capability, it will work with or without a data connection.

2) My Vogue's battery life usually runs a whole day (24 hrs) with heavy usage, with light usage it runs about 2 days-2.5 days...

3) In my area its pretty good reception, and I commute to my school, which is 25 miles away, and I get really good reception in that area :)

4) I think the build quality is really good. I've dropped the phone on concrete more than twice, and pretty hard too, and the only thing that happened was the case came off, and the battery as well, but its just like legos, put it back together, other than that just minor scratches...

I recommend a screen protector :)

Hope that helped! Didint wanna leave you hanging lol
[Touch CDMA General] jwzg:
Thanks for the response. Though I'd like get a Touch Pro, I'd rather have a device that won't cost an arm and a leg with most of the capability.
