Correct me if I'm wrong but does T-Mobile even operate in Italy? If so, I don't think there would be a ROM for it.
[G1 General] neoobs:
don't believe everything you see on ebay.

I am not sure we even have "different" roms yet... we have 3 versions 2 in the US and 1 in the UK and that is only because they use different services in the different countries.
[G1 General] Deedend:
I confirm that there is no italian rom... I think in near future we will see an "european" ROM with all the languages included, and some branded software because in Italy I have heared that the carrier will be TIM.
[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
I want to buy the black Xperia which is only available in the international version. Is there anything I should be aware of in purchasing the international version.

Will it work with ATT's 3G HSDPA frequencies. Are there any other major differences in either hardware or software that i should be aware of.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] outie:
AT&T uses both 850/1900 for their 3G HSDPA, and only the X1a supports the both 850/1900mhz 3G band. You will need the x1a for the best 3G reception for the AT&T network.

That's the only major difference between x1i and x1a. The other difference is x1a in US can only capture VGA video @ 15fps, while x1i can do 30fps.
[XPERIA X1 General] THESpideyWVU:
The fact that SE turned off video calling on the X1a pisses me off. I'm more than aware that no US carriers support it, but turning it off is retarded.
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
Cant this be fixed in a reg edit? The hadware seems to still be on the x1a.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Regarding video-call:

I'll flash the UK ROM to my X1A

I'll report what happens
[XPERIA X1 General] THESpideyWVU:
Thanks man, sounds good. I'm sure it shouldn't be hard to fix. Skype's lack of video call support for their mobile version upset me.
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
I still think its as simple as a reg edit.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
I used "Advanged config" to tweak the video-call registry setting; it was set to "disabled (defaul)" I thought it was going to be a piece of cake but nope the video call didn't show up... Could be on the ROM (different dialpad skin) or on the inner guts (as with the 10fps-limited VGA video rec)
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
OK GUYS just flashed UK ROM into my X1A

video-call is there !!

I'll test it later, but the icons and menu options for video-call seem to work properly
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
nice. whats the major difference with the uk rom vs. the US rom? If you have an x1a and flash to the UK rom, will it disable the US 3g bands?
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
UK X1i ROM ON X1A

DIFFERENCES:

- Coooool, I'm still gettin' full 850MHz HSDPA bling bling god speed :)

- Only missing feature: "TTY" in settings -> system

- "AT&T auto-operator configuration" is still there

- Video call icon and menu added to dial pad

- Slightly slower than NAM ROM ?? I had this same impression when flashed NAM ROM into my UK X1i... barely noticeable but curious BTW

I can't call any of my pals with 3G phones right now :(

Hope to see 'em late night TO TEST my new toy :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
nice again!!! Now, how about the 15fps in VGA video vs. 30fps in VGA video on the x1i.
[XPERIA X1 General] jtoyz2:
I use the X1i black on ATT network and i also use the ATT Fuze and theres nothing you need to worry about highspeed 3G and all that works fine, great actually i believe its even faster than my Fuze...and when the Xperia is on Edge its alot faster than the Fuze network wise...of course the Xperia is alot faster all around over the Fuze. You have any questions regarding it just PM ill give u my best opinion on it
[XPERIA X1 General] prking07:
to the op, about the black xperia, i have a black x1a, so x1a do come in black. my service provider here in puerto rico is CLARO, and we run the 850mhz band both for gsm and 3g network!! hope that helps!!!

ps: yes mine is a x1a, and i do have video calling as well on mine straight from factory and works exquisite!!! :)
[XPERIA X1 General] lildogg:
i thought the x1a was only in silver? did you buy it from your provider or get it unlocked?
[XPERIA X1 General] prking07:
i bought it from my provider, and this x1a records video at 30fps!! i just tested it, recorded a video, loaded the video up on any video converter, and the video showed up as 640x400 at 30fps!! dont know why those dimensions but thats what it showed!! i thought the x1a only recorded at 15fps or something liike that!!
[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
Thanks for the feedback. Will buy from Amazon. I was really worried about the 3G due the 1 band 850Mxtz. I prefer the black color to the Silver.
[XPERIA X1 General] prking07:
man! here in latin america our x1s are special or something! i just checked bands and this thing has quadband gsm + wcdma 850,1900,2100 and 1700! plus video call, and 30fps recording! all in a x1a +3( a+ x1i!!
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
As AT&T continues to roll out various 3G services farther out from the metro areas, and develops new areas not previously covered with 3G, you'll find that the phone will need to be on 850 Mhz in order to have 3G services, whether they be UMTS or HSDPA.

In the DC Metro area, you'll have 3G with 1900 MHz on your X1i.

But as you travel farther out, let's use Warrenton as an example, you'll notice that you're on EDGE with an X1i, and on 3G with an X1a.
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
Are you sure that you can actually use all those frequencies?

I didn't know that HTC had access to a radio that would bring in all four. That's great if they do...I'd just never heard of it.
[XPERIA X1 General] prking07:
well theyre there to select, buti cant check if they work cause my service provider onlu uses 850. here we also have att and tmobile but only claro, my sp, has it available!
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
Are you sure you have an x1a and not the x1i? My x1a is def only 15fps. No way video lags that much as 30fps. This is ofcoarse using the stock camera/video recorder.
[XPERIA X1 General] prking07:
it is definitely an x1a, it says so on the back inside battery compartment! mine has a spanish stock rom so maybe features are all rom dependent. thats my take on it, i think all x1s are the same, just different roms unlock different things. oh by the way, i think my rom is a generic spanish rom, since all phones here come with generic software.
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
So, if the UK rom allows all the US bands to work on a x1a then I sappose the video is only ROM dependent and SHOULD work at 30fps if you flash to a UK rom with a US x1a. Intereresting.... I still wanna know what other differences there will be between the UK & US rom's...
[XPERIA X1 General] prking07:
well it should, like i said, the only difference bettween my x1a and others here is the rom,and i have everything, viseo call, all bands, 30fps recording etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
Funny cause this thread says differently. They claim that its a hardware limitation not only for the bands but also for the vga video recording.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3186596#post3186596

I posted an update with your findings and a link to this thread.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
OK here we go again:

I have both X1i and X1a

I have flashed the UK X1i ROM and the NAM (north america)X1a ROM on each one and viceversa

Whatever ROM I flash, I always get 8 fps on X1a

Whatever ROM I flash, I always get 24 fps on X1i

I'm not just wondering, I have REALLY TESTED this

The only difference so far is that UK ROM enables VIDEO-CALL option on X1a dialpan, but I have not made any call to confirm hardware support for this

Since some latinamerica users are reporting "30 fps video rec",

I will flash the LAM (latin america) X1A ROM onto the NAM X1a today.

Will report later
[XPERIA X1 General] benjampm:
video call on x1i in US

I'll save you the trouble. A friend and I both have X1i phones and tried to make a video call. In the US AT&T switches the phone from HSDPA to Edge when you make a call. You can't do video calls in Edge, so no video calls...

[XPERIA X1 General] trsoghier:
George,

Trying to decide whether to purchase X1A or X1i in the DC metro area. I was on the phone with AT&T for about 20 minutes today and they're telling me the whole area has 1900. My experiences with the agents on the phone over the last year have been pretty bad so I don't trust them. I live in Germantown MD and commute to DC every day. Do you know if there is a website where someone can go and look to see which areas are covered by what frequency? I really don't want to drop to Edge but at the same time really want an X1i if 1900 truly IS all over the area.
[XPERIA X1 General] lunguyen:
I don't know about your guys X1i, but my X1i has both 1900 and 850 bands..... so I don't need the X1a to pick up 850 in outer areas..
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Yes, but the 850 band is for GSM/EDGE only, not 3G UMTS/WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA
[XPERIA X1 General] canpel:
I just flashed my X1A with UK generic rom. Everything went very smooth and

I am able to make video calls on Rogers network in Canada.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Nope. As I have reported before, the UK ROM won't change anything (except for the "tty" option in settings -> system) and YES you´ll still pick 850MHz HSDPA bleeding edge zoom zoom
[XPERIA X1 General] williamn:
Get the X1A if you're using AT&T. 3G will soon be running more through 850, and edge to 1900.

[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
So I went with the X1i. It's a great phone. Love it more than my ToucPro. It's amzing that they are made by the same company.

The key thing though is that down here in downtown Atlanta, I always get HSDPA 3g.
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:

[XPERIA X1 General] Experiaenjoy:
Hey I live in G-Town also and commute in and around DC everyday and have the X1i, I get 3G(H) in G-Town and in DC but edge sometimes like at work but i think its because of the building i'm in but for the most part its all 3G.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
@canpel:

Good news:

You don't need to flash the whole UK ROM to get videocalling anymore

Now it's been simplified to a CAB install THREAD HERE

Hope this helps canadian users and those who are waiting for AT&T to implement videocall soon

I had the UK generic ROM flashed on my X1A for a couple of days, and I can bet HSUPA was there too...
[XPERIA X1 General] turnstar:
This is getting confusing, Every thread I've read up until now has concluded that getting 3G over the 850 band on an X1i was impossible due to hardware limitations, now on this thread some people are saying you can? Can this really be possible, which specific ROMS are enabling it and for those of you that have it working on an X1i in the US what settings are you using in your phone options? I'll be very grateful to finally get a definitive yes or no on this issue.
[XPERIA X1 General] michaelthemage:
I think the above statements are that you can get 3G with the 1900(!) band.

The X1i has NO 850 3G!

By the way, T-Mob has a frequency of 1700 (!) ? Is there any phone in Europe that has that?

I read tmob uses 1700 and 2100 and the X1i has 2100. So, anybody could receive 3G with 2100 and tmob in the US of A ?
[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
ATT uses 850 Mhtz band for HSDPA which the X1i supports. There is no debate that the X1i supports 850 for HSDPA, hoever please post some documentation if you feel otherwise. Mind you ATT is migrating to 2100 for HSDPA.
[XPERIA X1 General] themgmt:
nevermind.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
T-mobile uses 1900MHz for GSM/EDGE

T-mobile uses BOTH 1700 (up) plus 2100 (down) for 3G (WCDMA)

A "2100MHz" phone will not work

A "1700MHz" phone will not work

Has to be "1700+2100" to work

BTW, T-Mobile is the only operator in the whole world using such a "martian" band :p

Only a few bunch of (T-mobile ordered) phones adapt to such a strange frequency band: Nokia 6263, Nokia 3555, Samsung T639, T819, Behold, Sony Ericsson TM506, and their flagship G1 which all support the WCDMA 1700MHz plus 2100MHz frequencies.

PS: NO: THE X1i HAS NO 850MHz 3G. PERIOD.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
NO: don't missinform please !!!

THE

X1i

DOES NOT SUPPORT 850MHz 3G (WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA)​

Period
[XPERIA X1 General] Experiaenjoy:
yes i did mean that i get it with 1900 band....and not with 850 but I was replying to the other post about in DC and surrounding area
[XPERIA X1 General] turnstar:
So just to be clear here with ATT and X1i in the USA:

850Mhz HSDPA (3G)

1900MHZ UMTS (3G)

Currently I'm using T-Mobile but my contract will be up soon, If the above is correct I will certainly be making the switch.

EDIT: Sorry, Didn't see gtrab's rebuttal before making this post, I will continue to assume 1900 yes 850 no till I see compelling info to suggest otherwise.
[XPERIA X1 General] dneal:
The x1i does not have 850mhz 3G. The x1a does.

x1i and x1a both have GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

x1i has HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100

x1a has HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
[XPERIA X1 General] williamn:
Total BS! Where in the world do you get your mis-information???

ATT uses 850 or 1900 for 3g/HSDPA

Tmobile uses 1700/2100

If anything, AT&T might be moving more 3G onto 850 because of it's range. X1A all the way if you're in the US!
[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
I have an X1i here on ATT in Atlanta. It aquires HSDPA for 3G. Being that I have the phone and get 3G on ATT. Please post links and docs to prove my hallucinations.

I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong on facts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
You are not hallucinating, I guess you are just confused

1- Check which band are you linked to. I bet you are picking ATT's 1900MHz band BUT DEFINITIVELY NOT 850MHz. You can check your band/reception launching fieldtest.exe from /windows/ folder or by dialing *#*#364#*#*

2- Or... you have the X1A (remove the battery, it says "X1" or "X1a" in the white label under the battery)

I will donate US$20 to xda-devs if I'm wrong :cool:

[XPERIA X1 General] turnstar:
The option shows up on my X1i as well, but having a line of text that claims it works and having it actually work are 2 different things. I think that's where a lot of this confusion is coming from.
[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
Well! I stand corrected. I am on the 1900 band.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
STOP MISINFORMIIIIING !!!

I spent two months testing the X1i and X1a, so please, don't post if you are not sure of what you are doing...

Showing your phone list of bands prooves nothing, yes I KNOW it is listed but not USABLE because it has a different chipset (Qualcomm 7200for X1i and Qualcomm 7201 for X1a)

GO TO FIELD TEST AND POST THE UARFCN OR STOP CONFUSING PEOPLE

BTW: 3G 850MHz Freqency uses UMTS Oerating Band "V" (roman "five" number), the corresponding channel numbers (UARFCN) can be found HERE

PLEASE edit your previous posts: Somebody could visit XDA-DEVS, find your wrong info and BUY the X1i and then complaint to XDA-DEVS for wrong information
[XPERIA X1 General] alabij:
In field test under what group is the UARFCN value?
[XPERIA X1 General] turnstar:
gtrab: what kind of speeds do you get on the 1900Mhz band 3G? are they good?
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
The band has nothing to do with the speed. That's operator-dependant.

Speed depends on which HSDPA UE category your provider chose to implement

I am on a 850MHz network (latinamerica)

My provider currently offers category 6 HSDPA, which means I can reach up to 3600 kbps (optimum conditions of course: near a tower, early morning, etc) My signature pic was taken from an actual speedtest performed on my Xperia X1a :)

"Real-feel" speed ??

My X1i picks EDGE and my X1a picks HSDPA

HSDPA seems 10-fold faster to me :eek:

Well I've spent the last two days searching high and low and nothing I've read has been the solution.

I have a HTC Tilt with PDACorner 16(WM 6.1) and when I connect to usb the phone will say connecting, authenticating user, then user authenticated and display that it is connected however WMDC will say not connected. Below are the steps i've taken. I do not use MS onecare.

I added all the appropriate ports to my firewall

on the computer:

disabled the firewall altogether

disabled antivirus(symantec endpoint protection)

disabled windows defender

removed the driver, updated the driver, reinstalled the driver

on the phone:

disabled advanced usb connection(on my phone its labeled as fast usb syncing, without this disabled the phone wont connect at all)

re-flashed the device

finally, I have synced the phone with other vista machines and xp machines which worked flawlessly.

I cant figure out what I am missing, any help would be very much appreciated! I swear I've searched this forum and all of google high and low and none of the solutions have worked for me.

edit: i forgot to add that the usb connection that I am getting now is good enough that the RUU program has no problem running and flashing a rom its just WMDC which will not connect with the phone

Looks like SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe is not working for IMATE SP5 or QTEK 8310. You can get it unlocked by doing the following:

see attached files, and follow the steps below to get it unlocked.

Step 1: copy the SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab to the phone. Then open File Explorer and go to the location where you stored this file. Simply click on the file and run it. It should say (succesfully installed) after you run it

Step 2: Run the HTCUnlock-CVS application, keep clicking next during the installation process until its finished.

Step 3: Now run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe and I promise you IT WILL WORK, and it will NO LONGER says (this phone is unlockable). It will UNLOCK IT!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vanshmack:
Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of creating a suite of elements for a next-generation TF3D ROM. The ROM itself is currently in development, but there is an application that I need themed to the ROM. Secondly, a brand new Manila theme will need to be created to spec.

Basically, here's a high-level overview of what is needed:

1) A specifically themed G sensor calibrator to replace the app shipped with the Diamond/Diamond Pro/HD units.

2) Highly customized TF3D elements, which would include a specific clock and icons, as well as a major change to the way these items are displayed on the home screen.

I have no illusions about the amount of work involved in this enterprise. This will take some commitment on the part of those who volunteer. I can't offer much (my ROMs are freely distributed), but you will receive credit for your work in the ROM itself, and, after a short period of exclusivity for my ROM, you will be able to offer the items you design independently in any manner you see fit.

If this sounds interesting to you, or if you have comments, please let me know.
