Xperia signal is very bad !

Hi...anybody there have issue that X1 signal is very bad?? I've compared with my Nokia E71 with the same card (provider), same place, same time, my E71 give the full signal when X1 just give 1 bar and sometime will lost it.

I have upgrade to the new X1i GENERIC UK R2A (1.03.931.8) ROM and have same issue when use the old ROM.

If there is a way to optimize the X1 signal, please post it

Thanks.

Something very wrong with XPERIA radio

Fully agree!

There is something very screwy with XPERIA radio. I have full 5 bars with UMTS on my Polaris while under exact same conditions X1i struggles with 1 bar or, more commonly, drops UMTS altogether in favor of GSM which also has mediocre strength (irrespective which Rom I use: WWE R1, WWE R2 unofficial , R2 NAmerican, Vodafone R2 Roms - I have tried them all ). Lets make it clear: we are talking of outdoor, unobstructed, good signal areas. Definitely SE people have to get their act together with a new upgrade. I suspect this is the reason the WWE official upgrade is held back for so long. After all WWE represents their biggest customer basis. If they don't want to loose it to Nokia they better think something up fast!

but how do you use the wi-fi then, because all the personal ID certificates have been wiped, my wi-fi or bluetooth dont work now. the only certificates that are on my fone are root certificates.

thanks for the reply any way.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jas0607:
I think it may actually have more to do with hardware than the radio. The materials used for the outside of the device, and the thickness of the phone are blocking the signal in my opinion. I've mentioned in a previous thread that years ago I got some nice metallic clip-on covers for my old Z600. My phone went from full strength signal to 0-1 bars and unusable just by putting the covers on!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] loke_kc:
Thanks ! i try that and see.

fm radio

anyone tried the fm radio, i tried putting headphones in, on the last r2a rom update from here, and it would not detect the head phones, im just wondering, have i forgot to put somekind of adapter in first, as it just looks like a 3.5mm connection, regards.

X1i GENERIC UK CDF1215-1832 R2AA010 (1.03.931.10) RELEASED !!! :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nik40:
Brilliant!

Now a more sober thought: is this any different than the pre-release, posted here (5-2-09) UK Rom or, more to the point, do we all who have upgraded with the unofficially released UK R2 have to go all over flashing once more?

Great job Pavel
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Darth Sith:
Thanks Pavel.

It's an exe. Can you post the img please?

I have linux, and I prefer to flash from sd card...

Very thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Darth Sith:
....all the file are exe!

I'm crazy??

How can I flash befor???

ok i'm crazy....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PavelX1:
You just download exe (it's self-extracting rar archive) and it will unpack .image file to your windows based computer....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fulgore69:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Thanks again Pavel!!!

Thank you very much .... again, for the new / updated upload of generic_uk. Comes up the question now, is this just for EMMA again, or will SE this one release to the public?

Czech ROM

Pavel, there are some rumours about Czech ROM, could you please check it, if is it true? Thanks a lot.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wearwolf:
@Pavel

Finally.. after 70 pages.. the end is in sight. Now just gotta wait for the Image to finish downloading UK ROM from Rapidshare :D

Let's hope SE doesnt put us through the hoo-ha again of waiting for another ROM update. And if it does.. it'd better be WinMO 6.5

Thanks again Pavel... :cool:

But I only see .exe files in here.

Help!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
At last!!

Thanks a lot

can you elaborate more if there are any differences with the previous releases

For those who tried it ... please post your feedback and experience
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] czyno:
There are no differences with the previous - only longer filename :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PavelX1:
u wrong, previous version or R2A GENERIC UK was 1.03.931.8 (was not officially released for service centers / seus and the new one, released today (even for seus / service centers) is 1.03.931.10 , so for SURE there are some changes...

Regards Pavel
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Darth Sith:
I have flashed and it is a R2AA008, NOT R2AA010.

mah....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] czyno:
for me both files are the same - I've compared them binary :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nik40:
What sort of comparison was that?

Just use winhex or any other hex editor in text mode & you will see @ offset 200 that the new one has written 1.03.931.10 and the old one 1.03.931.08

Besides, they are unequal size!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
With the latest R2AA010, still have a problem with the call forwarding icon, it doesn't save the settings...same with R2AA0808... back to R1 firmware for me...ugh

Doubt???

hi guys i`m new on xperia i`m confused. i have a Generic UK xperia. them i have to install the hard spl to update???? and if i install a rom like win mobile 6.5, i have to make a hard spl????? tankssss a lot:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] foksie:
xperia BE rom

I've just flashed my new xperia with the new BE rom and it's thanks to this that I can finaly send and receive Sms messages, before there was an T-Mobile rom present and it was not possible to delete this cause it was the default. Thanks to Kovs files I could do the cooking myself and now I can enjoy my new Xperia, it is just a pleasure to use.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ventura8:
i have the same problem. just flashed my x1 and it says it's R2AA008, and i am sure that i downloaded the right stuff : APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R2AA010

the image haves 203 mb

what is the deal?!?!

i've downloaded the rom from megaupload
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nzryan:
I just downloaded the mega upload one. there is a problem with it it seems to be 1.03.931.08

The exe file name says R2AA010, BUT when you double click it the extractor says is contains 1.03.931.08, and if I extract it the extracted image is the same size as 1.03.931.08, I did not flash it, as I suspect it is the same rom.

ok, SO I just downloaded the rapid share one now, same exe name but the extractor says it contains 1.03.931.10 and the extracted imaghe file is difference size to the 1.03.931.08 so I believe this is the correct image for 10.03.931.10

Pavel did you somehow update the Mega Upload file incorrectly?

Thanks

Why would I run to SEUS if I can just download the file to the SD card, put it into loader mode and BAM, in less then 5 minutes flashed!

No computer, no internet no crap from SE flash program. Thanks again Pavel !!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chris28j:
Anyone find any differences yet between the .8 and .10 version of the Generic UK rom?

I'm using the .8, just wondering whether flashing everything again is worth the while.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wearwolf:
Well one of them i can guarantee you is the updated Xperia Media panel. at least it reads photo's properly based on their dates and filenames. Also doesnt read any system graphics files; which makes it 'cleaner' in viewing other files...

But it'd be nice if there was a change-log somewhere....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] czyno:
Well, on rapidshare is R2AA010 but on Megaupload is R2AA008 with new name ... So it is better to download from rapirshare :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] norti:
Media Player cab is the same as in R2AA008, it can't be different.

Only the following files has been changed in the ROM (compared the two versions with WinMerge):
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Darth Sith:
Rapidshare get R1AA010, instead megaupload R1AA008.

However there is again the bug in video.

Media Xperience panel play well all the video, but not video taken with camera. Damn...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PavelX1:
@all who have had problems with megaupload - it was nasty bug uf megaupload upload process (not mine), but now me fix it, so even the megaupload link is fine now (real R2AA010)

Check and see if you've manually set a DNS server.

I had one set up, then did a spirit backup, upgrade, then restore and nothing connected.

Blanking out the DNS allowed me to connect. I haven't tried re-entering the DNS Server yet. It's on the aqenda but I'm just happy to be up and running right now.

Nope, they are in the right order. Which PIMBackup version are you using? 2.8?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] matthewpapa:
yea, I am. As far as I know it is the latest version too.

Hmmm I guess I will give it another try.... This definitely isnt the first time ive had this problem iirc.

All of your messages were restored in chronological order in their respective threads, right?

mmm interesting,

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
had a further look and unless my R2a08 kitchen was really messed up this r2a10 has a load more files in the sys/os folder..

can anyone using r2a08 let me know whether there's a ddraw.dll and a d3dm (not d3dm_ati) in windows?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wearwolf:
@ Norti

apologies.. i never used R2AA0008... Was always and was still in UK R1AA017. So the jump from R1xxxxx to R2AA010 was/is a massive update for me. I used SEUS to do the update. So the Sony XPERIA Media panel has noticeable improvements compared to my earlier R1. It didnt display all the extra windows/system JPGS like the earlier ROM. Maybe update could have affected somewhere else.

I'm happy at least i dont have to sift through so many folders.

S'ok. Not anybody's fault but SE right now; 'cos i still cant find a bloody Change-Log file anywhere :mad: . Except all these word of mouth updates....

NOTHING what I found, and I played with 08 since it was posted here! However, I updated anyways since there must be something.... . don't you think... 08...10...! Even if its minor to some, perhaps its more to others. Since SE has become "Sony", they won't let us know the changelogs anymore (as Ericsson did!).

actually, is EMMA still showing v8? Presumably if it is, there isn't anything "wrong" with it. Perhaps it is only some kind of silly branding or customization differences?

Used the SD card upgrade method, no HardSPL, no issues.

However I notice that WiFi does not turn off now when I press the Power Button (sleep?) to save power overnight. WiFi stays on no matter whether the device is sleeping or standing by I presume.

Is that meant to be or is there a setting I can't seem to find? Anyone else notice this?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Midi_Amp:
I'm using R2AA008 generic Vodafone UK, and currently downloading the R2AA0010. If my past Sony Ericsson user experience is correct, then, any visual distinguishing feature will be very very slim if at all. Usually it's the second number after R that will denote major upgrade, front end wise and back end wise. However, suffice to say, there will be some minor back end changes according to the usual firmware naming... If my experience is correct though :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Shadowdh:
I made the effort and I am very glad I did, as Midi_Amp suggested there is not much different in looks but the feel is certainly much faster and smoother... thats pre-tweak too! after tweak is even better... well worth changing...
