[XPERIA X1 General] XuOne:
is it me, or does the phone look bigger? ... or is it the hand that are smaller..:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] hypedupmonkey:
Hey guys,

I recently got a replacement Xperia from O2 after my old one had a severe backlight bleed, however, one thing stands out for this one with me.

The slider seems very loose, so loose that when you close an application by tapping 'X', the left side of the screen rises about half a millimeter.

Also, when the phone is opened, the screen is loose, e.g. shaking the device slightly causes the screen to 'Flap' in a sense.

I can't remember if my original had a loose slider, so fellow X1 owners....Is this common? Is it worth ringing O2 again?
[XPERIA X1 General] Elusivo:
hi

well, i have my xperia for some 2 months and the screen is also very loose, when i open it i can see that the right metalplate that holds the screen moves about 1mm up and down, the left one is steady in place tho... when it's closed i can even insert my touchscreen pen in between the screen and keyboard... it's that loose... i figure it happens over time... i never let it fall down on the floor and i always use a hard leather bag on my belt to carry it. It's a bit annoying tho, the phone doesn't feel nearly as solid as when i bought it. But the thought of having to send the phone for repair and have to wait i don't know how long to have it back, is holding me from doing anything about it...

But maybe it happens with all or most phones...?
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Well, according to the staff at the service centre here, the looseness is cos of the curved sliding mechanism. Asked if they could tighten it and they said if tightening it would cause the keyboard to get scratched.
[XPERIA X1 General] Elusivo:
lol that's such a lame excuse... it was tightened when it was brand new lol
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
Mine may be a little loose, but it has not gotten worse since I got it a few months ago. It is as I expected from a slider phone. It still feels tight and top quality.

It's difficult to discuss things like this without trying your phone and vice versa. I guess if you feel your phone is too floppy and not as tight as one can expect, you should definately talk to the service guys again.
[XPERIA X1 General] Swetom:
Mine is loose too

Since I got my X1 at the end of Oct 2008 the slider has become loose compared to when it was new and I have compared it to other new X1's in stores. I found that the backplate of the slideout, at the exposed long side of the phone, between the two "tracks" has come loose from the actual top part and this is causing allowing the slider to move. In the new X1's i checked this parts was firmly attached to the top part and the slider was very nice and firm. I think SE may have a manufacturing problem here and I've turned mine in for repair. It will be interesting to see if they fix it or come back and say "abuse". I use it professionally and I have a original SE beltpouch for it.

Apart from this little problem I love the phone and it's functions!
[XPERIA X1 General] snomed3:
no kidding. my P has a little scratch from the slider being too tight.
[XPERIA X1 General] KHPatel:
apologies for bringing this thread back from the dead.

I've encountered the same problem and just had a word with the the dedicated XPERIA line in the US. I purchased my phone from Carphone Warehouse in the UK.

What they said was that they would need to verify the purchase of the phone. Once that is done, I can send it in to the service center and have it repaired. Not too sure if they're going to do anything about it, but they said it could take up to 60 days (!!!!).

Anyone had any luck fixing this without sending it in?
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Have brought my phone to the service centre twice, both times with regards to battery life issues, and had at the same time mentioned about the loose slider, but never had they done anything about it.

If you're trying to watch youtube on windows media player you're out of luck. I suggest you get another player, you can use TCPMP , Kinoma Player, Core Player. USE THE SEARCH feature and you'll find it.:)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jschramm97:
I've updated to DCD 4.1.2 and when i install HTC Home and reboot my titan locks up before i can input my pin to unlock it.

Anyways the only 2 features i really use in HTC HOME are the contacts and application launcher, are there any other today screen plug-in's to accomplish this?

I've searched but have only found apps which cost money.

Thanks,

-Jim
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
Use HTC Home Customizer instead, it should download the correct version of Home and then it shouldn't lock up anymore.

It's at least worth a try.

I use Manilla with iContact and between the two it works very nicely, but eats a ton of ram.

[General Questions and Answers] tonyfuntime:
Hi everyone, i just got an unlocked htc fuze, running elite rc2.

It's been working just fine for the past week and now it's doing something a bit unusual.

When my phone rings, when i grab the phone in my hand, it answers automatically, i made sure that auto answer after a few rings was off, i made sure that i wasnt accidentally pressing any buttons, but it always does it, the second i hold it, it answers.

It's really frustrating because when its in my pocket, i cant see whos calling me and by the time the phone is out of my pocket it already answered.

If im already in a call and another line rings, it will answer automatically, completely cutting off the other person.

If anyone has had the same experience and has anyinfo or help, please let me know, thanks Tony
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
lol. did you install an application that answers the phone according to the movement of the accelerometer?
[General Questions and Answers] tonyfuntime:
i really havent installed anything, since i got it, i dont know much about modding the device, i installed my first them yesterday and it didnt even work, anyways, do you know what and where i can check if something like that is installed
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
hehe. it is very unprobable.. I hope someone knows more about the Fuze so you can get your answer.
[General Questions and Answers] kosherpig:
I do not know how different is US Pro from an EU Diamond, but maybe the on-screen buttons are pressed by mistake? If so, use Answerkeys Disabler from the Diamond Applications forum.
[Touch HD General] sschrupp:
Ok, so now that I have the device to end all devices, I'd like to start donating a bit here and there for all the great, hard work many of you here are doing. My problem though is that I've never done that before.

My question is, how much is proper to donate? $1? $5? $10? What's a common amount to show your appreciation? I don't want to come off as a cheapskate, but then I also don't want to be giving away all my money if a few dollars here and there would suffice.

Thanks in advance for your input!
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
An application for sale usually avergaes for about $22. So if you felt it was a full blown app, donate that much. If it was a small utility app then$10.
[Touch HD General] SiliconS:
For many of the people doing this stuff I think it's the acknowledgement that you recognise the work they've put in which is more important than the amount.

If you're a wealthy person then donate lots (EUR/$ 30). If you're poor then donate little (EUR/$ 5). Just by making a donation of any amount you'll be in the minority.

Be aware though: I've donated to several developers in the past who haven't acknowledged my contribution in any way. I find that disappointing and it discourages me from donating to them further. Donating is not always a satisfying process. :(
[Touch HD General] tunppi:
I think any DONATION is appreciated.

donation is always donation, if you like someones program really much then give him much. Some people ask just for cup of coffee or beer, so its up to you. No one will yell at you if you just give 2$.

Free money for them and they didnt even require it.
[Touch HD General] sschrupp:
Ok, thanks for the tips everyone!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jerry980:
And so... my Diamond is showing me that I have one sms in my inbox, but i don't. It's not so big funtional problem but it's anoying allways thinking that I have sms. Anyone with the simillar problem and how to solve? :confused:

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] djwarden:
have u read the message from TF3D ? also look in the inbox, mine shows a new message if iv only looked in the inbox, after reading the message from the TF3D Tab its goes away
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jerry980:
I have deleted all sms on Diamond and he is still showing me that there is one left :confused:. Don't know where to look anymore. What now? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sgerinckx:
maybe an unread email ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jerry980:
nope, I deleted everything, mails, sms - inbox, outbox, sent, draft - everything and still there it is... ONE SMS. I don't want to go to shop (for now) and use my warranty, still hopping it's some banal thing.

Thanks for suggestions...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cloudedhopes:
stupid question - but have you tried a hard reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jerry980:
Yes, tried, but it's still there...

Seems that I'm the only on with this curse...

But I'm not giving up, I will solve this... Hope so...

Still waiting for new suggestions from people here. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] l3v5y:
It might be an SMS on the SIM card that says it's unread but isn't being displayed...

Alternatively, it might just be a registry flag that hasn't been reset.

[HKCU\\System\\State\\Messages\\sms\\Unread]

"Count" should equal 0.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vector-SS:
Wow, I had the same problem happen to me. I also deleted all my inbox, but to no avail.

It's actually still there even after a hard reset? - quite persistent.

I'm almost sure mine just went away after a couple of days all alone.

Which ROM are you using? and are you using touchpal?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] robust88:
I had the same problem of "1" showing on sms, but this tweek works...Thanks for sharing...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] robust88:
I am still having the same problem of "1" showing...Any ideas of solving this problem?

Hi,

I would like to remap one of my softkeys to this little app which pops up after clicking the "alaram" icon in the taskbar on top which is shown when there are notifications, reminders, etc. I mean this app which show the possible events as "magnified" symbols. What is it called?

EDIT: What I am looking for is the app which is call "Systemstatus" in the German version. Please refer to the screenshot to see what I mean. It would be great to fire this up with one of the softkeys.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littlescott:
Read the MSDN library about minimising/closing .net cf forms. The MSDN library shows you a little image of a device for methods/properties etc that are supported, minimize is not.

Be aware though that form's by default are minimised and not closed when pressing the X in the corner. I've never tried this nor recommend it but see what happens when you call form.close() method in the load, it may minimse the form or it may crap out all together. What are your reasons for doing this?

Take it from someone who develops on these devices for a living.., programming the .net compact framework can be a very frustrating effort at times. You work with a much lower subset of functionality than in the full framework, you have to take caution to how much memory you use, some things don't work the same way as they do on the full framework and the most recent discovery I've had is that the same framework on different os's can have very different behaviour, i.e. control events firing when hiding them.

Good luck :)
[XPERIA X1 General] P the Photographer:
Hey guys, I probably have a very good deal, but I just wanted your opinion on this before my 14 days is up.

I got my X1 as an upgrade with O2 in the UK, I paid £100 for the phone itself, then my line rental is £20 / month for 600 mins, 2000 texts and unlimited web, for 18 months. The tariff itself is very good but I am still not sure if the £100 is too much I have paid for the phone itself since I have agreed for a 18 months contract, I was sort of expecting a free phone... but then I had to pay £100 for my old SE W960i which i sadly lost a couple of months ago... And I realized the X1 is quite an expensive handset... what sort of deals do you guys have? Like how much you had to pay for your X1?

Thanks I am indeed having loads of fun with this new toy!
[XPERIA X1 General] ChesterZZ:

[XPERIA X1 General] creamy:
I'm with O2 UK but through Carphone Warehouse, I told them i was leaving and requested my porting number at which point i was offered the phone for free along with unlimited txt's, calls and web access....all for the grand total of £30pm for 18 months :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
mhh very good deal !

I signed a 18 month contract with vodafone (uk) in November only a couple of days after the phone had been released.. 900 free minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited web, free phone for 50 pounds a month ..

turns out it is actually way too much .. unlimited texts is pretty cool but I hardly use half the minutes that I ve got .. they told me I ve the option of changing my price plan to something cheaper after 9months so I m probably gonna do that.

did u get your deal online or in store? sounds very good for vodafone ...

unlimited data for €2,50

for 2years

total €30
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
At those prices, I'm assuming you got it directly from O2 and not a reseller like CPW.

I got my X1 directly from O2 retentions on an 18 month contract for £24.50/month and a handset price of £97. That includes 600mins, 500txts doubled up to 1000 as it is an online account and unlimited web bolt-on. You've done okay yourself. I'm guessing you've been with O2 a year or two longer than me and built up 40% discount (I only built up 30%) as you seem to have a very similar deal to the one I got last Thursday.

One thing I would recommend though.... make sure you've got insurance for your phone! If your home insurance doesn't cover it, then contact O2 about having your handset covered. I think it is something like £7-£8 a month but covers accidental damage as well as lost or stolen and the excess is £25. I broke the screen on my old XDA Exec a couple of times and got a replacement within 2 working days each time.
[XPERIA X1 General] P the Photographer:
I guess my deal is actually very good in the UK market then. Yes I got it directly from O2 retention. This is my 5th or 6th contract with O2 now, so I was told I am getting the absolute max discount I can get. I was trying to knock the price down for the phone to 50, but of course they wouldn't do it, unless I go onto the 45 / month plan which I would end up paying more in 18 months time...

They were gonna give me 21/month with 1000 text, I said no, switching to Orange (I made up a plan that I was being "offered" from Orange), then they said OK, they will match it, this is why I got 20 / month with 2000 texts. Not much different as 2000 texts is way too much... can't even do 500.

I was looking at my old records, I did get 15 off a month before (I have always been on the O2 35), but for some reasons, they didn't give it to me last year, it was because I wanted a 12 months contract, so an extra fiver a month or sth, but worth it, or I would have had to wait for another 6 months for the X1...

Zenith, I got my phone on the same day as you, the first day they said the phone is back in stock, been waiting since Dec last year... now it's out of stock again... lucky us!
[XPERIA X1 General] t_abedin:
27 pounds a month

I got mine at 27 pounds a month with 50 pounds handset price on an 18 month contract last november. Sadly after that I could not get a similar deal for my brother as it got out of stock the very same evening. Just today, I got another 27 pound deal for my brother, thats almosyt 2 months later.

I have been an o2 customer for 12 months and got a 40 percent discount through retention.

[XPERIA X1 General] SamAsQ:
Hi Guys, my deal was a shop purchase upgrading after two previous 18 month contracts with uk vodafone. Initially they offered the same deal but the handset was £35, but when I kicked up about being a 3-4 year vodafone customer with a £40 bill every month they worked their magic and gave it to me. Im guessing the fact that I've spent between £1500 - £2000 with them previously gave me a good deal :D
[XPERIA X1 General] P the Photographer:
Hey, how long have you been with O2 and how much you pay roughly for your bills? If you don't mind me asking! Seems you have the best deal I have ever heard of. Are they still doing free weekend calls? Coz they won't give it back to me.

Just a quick question since I cannot find a definative answer anywhere - not sure if there even is one...

When does the heat generated by a mobile device which is connected to wifi become a concern? I'm using my HD to listen to internet based radio more frequently recently, and was wondering is there any likelyhood of long term damage by leaving it connected, say, overnight?

I've never seen any warnings or guidelines about how long is safe continuous use is, so I presume you could stay connected as long as you like?
