[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
Firstly, I live in Singapore.

Our phone/home numbers have only 8digits...

Whenever i make a new phonecall, the first 3 digits would get "bracket-ed" and "dash-ed"

Example:

Im dialling 12345678

and on the X1, it would display

(123) 456-78 after I've pressed call.

Anyway to remove the bracket and dashs?

Thank you.

Also, when i end call, there is a "teet teet teet" that sounds werid(from the speakers) is that normal?
[XPERIA X1 General] ericmateo:
do you have a third party software installed that has something to do with phone calls or contacts like resco photo contacts, because some have settings on how phone numbers appears when somebody is calling you. anyway i also have that "teet teet teet" sound after ending a call so i guess that is normal
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
As for the "teet teet teet"

Do anyone know how to disable it? (or play it through the earphone speaker instead?)

It's very irriaiting.

Just how imagine how much inconvience it would bring if you were having lessons, your phone rang, and after you managed to secretly answer calls to tell your friend that you're having lessons, it ends off with a loud 'teet teet teet', causing your teacher to find out you've just used your phone.

Or worse, when you're in the movies, and had to call someone for some important issues, to find youself ending your call with a loud 'teet teet teet' that caused everyone to get your attention.

Any fix or methods/way to disable OR to route it to the earphone speaker?(so that it would not be loud)

Thanks!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valicore:
Dude, take the battery out and put a fan or something on it to let it dry. The more you use it the more you risk a short. It sounds like your phone might be OK, but let it dry overnight at least.

Good Luck!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sino8r:
I've done that to 2 phones in the past. The deal is the phone may work for a couple of days and die out for no apparent reason. The more you use it the worse it with get. To dry out properly means putting it in a windowsill for 2 weeks to insure complete drying with the battery and sim card removed. But corrosion and rust can still take place and your phone will never be the same. BUT... you can save it with 90% success rate if wanna take it apart. It's risky but with the right tools it can be done by anyone.:D What you need is a G1 manual from HTC here (here ya go... www.mikechannon.net and a torx screwdriver. Take it apart following the pdf disassembly guide and dry out what you can with a dry rag and then clean it out with isopropyl alcohol and an old toothbrush (just dip the brush in the rubbing alcohol lightly). Just be care with disassembly and all the ribbon wires (they break and tear easily). And if the screen has condensation, I would consider taking it apart also (that part was somewhat difficult and yes I have done it for fun, lol!) Good luck!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meltus:
taking it apart is an excellent idea. i did that when i dropped my sony erricson K750i in the bath (lol ><), left the pieces on a radiator on low heat for about 3 days and it worked fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavell491:
thank you for the responces but.....

i did let it dry for about 3 weeks i was hoping it could be software related since it gives me those application closure pop ups:(. otherwise it works fine i might just go back to my trustworthy dash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharkaron:
Have you done a factory reset? If not try that and see if the problem goes away.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioiscoool:
let it dry, once its dry get a replacement ;)

just make sure you say you have no idea how it stopped working, if you say it got wet they will probably charge you for it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnkzDomain:
Well, if you open up the back, there's a little dot there beneath the battery. That's there so that T-Mobile can tell if you got your phone wet. If they find out that you did, they will bill you for the new one.

The best thing to do would be to try using a teeny tiny bit isopropyl alcohol on the dot to see if it changes back. If not, you should take it apart and swab most of the nonelectric pieces.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
i've done this to a few phones but i can usually have them up and running in less than an hour and they work perfectly, what i do is take the phone apart to every component, completely submerge each piece in ethenol, isopropal alcohol works too but i can get ethanol for free, the alcohol is highly volatile and will actually absorb water and evaporate with it, after taking the pieces of the phone out of the alcohol i scub it with a toothbrush for 5 or so minutes making sure that each part of that piece has been scrubbed from every angle, then i place the parts of my phone on a dry microfiber cloth and move to the next piece. when i have dipped and scrubbed all pieces i run them under a hair dryer on high for ten to fifteen minutes and put the phone back together. all my phones still work and one took an hour long bath in a lake, i had to go snorkeling to find it and thought it was a lost cause, the only reason i bothered to fix that one was to win a $100 bet that i could.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekedw:
Keep the phone together

get a plastic freezer bag and fill it with dry, uncooked rice

place your phone in with the rice and make sure the phone gets submerged under the rice.

Let it sit for 24 hours.

I've seen this fix phones that had dr pepper spilled on them, dropped in toilets, even washed.

And hell its easy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rich0:
In the summer I've rescued a phone by putting it on top of an air conditioner vent to dry out. The key is you want to bathe it in VERY DRY air - you want to dry it quickly. You don't want too much heat - but you need it to be very dry.

The isopropanol suggestion is probably good, although I'd be a little concerned that it might damage some of the plastics. You're basically washing off the water with another solvent, and that other solvent will dry off much more quickly. Isopropanol and ethanol are relatively easy on most plastics - I'd avoid anything like acetone as that is more likely to fog your screen/etc. Solvents that aren't miscible with water (ether, toluene, etc) won't work.

Oh, and those solvents need to be fairly concentrated. Many household solvents are more water than anything else - you're not going to get as effective drying if you're using something like 30% ethanol (it is still 70% water).

Above all, take out the battery IMMEDIATELY after getting it wet. Once the battery is gone your only real concern is rust, and that takes a while to build up.

Oh, if you get it wet with salt water you might want to wash it out with clean water first (again, remove battery first). You don't want salt deposits left behind. Do that before rinsing with a solvent - the solvent isn't going to effectively remove salt (depending on the solvent).

With proper care (and assuming no serious shorts already happened) there is no reason you can't dry out a phone. Half of those components were probably washed with water during manufacture anyway. As long as you get rid of contaminants like salt, prevent rust, and make sure there is no residual water when power is applied you will probably be ok.

Homer says "Doh!"

Well I washed my G1 in the laundry last night for 10 minutes before I realized where it was. (Thank you Thank you for the <insert stupid group here> nomination...)

I removed it from the laundry, removed the battery, soaked up all the water I could with paper towels, put the vacuum cleaner on it for several hours (moving from hole to hole to try to pull all the water out).

It booted this morning, but there was a fine film in the display and I had the same problem as the thread creator turning the screen on after it timed out.

So at work I put it in a vacuum chamber for several hours today.

Now the screen and rest of the phone looks perfect, all radios, touch, gyro and other hardware widgets work fine and all software seems fine.

But, I still have to hit power several times to get the screen to turn on without it either turning itself back off or it washing out to some random color (red or green or blue or white).

I think it is actually turning on quicker now, so maybe it will completely recover. Fingers crossed. Once on it seems to work fine.

WET PHONE - my two pence worth

WET PHONE - CLEAN WATER is the best hope you got (not going down the toilet route!!) :-

(( NO HEAT, unless really good air flow!! ))

1 - hold vertically upright, give fluid chance to run out ((pref opposite from where it came in!!))- WHILST - removing MAIN battery ASAP

(even the internal one - if you know how,) and can do it quick (can 'O' air!), aswell as, remove the covers <<Disassemble IF YOU CAN>>

((( NO HEAT, unless really good air flow!! )):)

2 - centrifugal force ! <swing in one arm, around afew times> forcing fluid out wards (BETWEEN BOARDS!'"

"give fluid chance to run out ((pref opposite from where it came in!!))",

say 2 times with top outermost, then say four times with the bottom outermost -

arm outstreached fully infront of you, and go FAST "like winding a 6 foot wheel" think of ball on record player.

3 - small tin of "silica gel satchets", get them in lots of packaging <keep them:D or (or DRIED pasta, rice, peas)> mines in

attic next to entrance hatch, Tape box shut to keep agroscopic properties until needed, during, and after using!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:

never personally had to do anything else **most times skipped 2**- maybe rest may help you !!!

a - compressed air (can / keyboard cleaner 'AIR') < never had a compressor / gone to the garage > - blow the EXCESS fluids out -

<<BEWARE screen, speakers, mics, DON'T LIKE THIS>> but under S.M.IC's, "connectors" (ribbon/wire) and (brown/see through) ones only (not the tri coloured foam stuff 4 LCD's!!!

b - internal battery maybe still powering things, while still wet=(short circuiting parts/portions of parts) starting the corrosion

c - if you try to use it before completely dried, will probably cause, either/both of:-

<"corrosion" of (circuit board) or (full/part -component) which is RUST!!> This will extentivly shorten the life of, and WILL eventually kill it

<instant failure of some components> due to short circuit, ( HOW MANY <replaceable> FUSES ARE IN YOUR PHONE ? ) - :mad:

(( NO HEAT, unless really good air flow!! )) THEME running through this!!:p

hey guys, I have been wanting an Xperia for a while and I finally have enough money to buy one but I was just wondering where was the best place (located in the United States) to buy one? I am on T-Mobile USA so 3G doesn't matter, an X1i will be perfectly fine. I am trying to avoid the 700-800 dollar premium price as I have seen many for 600-650 new.

The best place atm in my opinion is...

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1234846501&sr=8-1

Just a question though, do ALL xperia's come with a 4GB MicroSD? Amazon doesnt specify what the package contents are. I can only be sure of the phone,manual,ac adapter,etc...

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shidell:
Hi all,

I wanted to start this thread to answer some community questions regarding the Vogue. Thanks to very gifted individuals, new versions of Windows Mobile have been ported to very old handsets--including replacing 2002 on some old, old models with 6.1. Quite an impressive, and admirable, feat.

The release of 6.5 has everyone excited with the same anticipation that it will eventually be available for all pre-existing models as well. I'm hoping that others with more experience and knowledge in the field can actually comment on their thoughts and opinions.

Specifically, I've read some comments regarding available memory and video acceleration drivers which are a concern in certain contexts. Is the Vogue plagued by such concerns? Are there updated drivers for this handset?

Just looking for input from those with both the knowledge and the willingness to share it for everyone else to read. I know these questions are bouncing through every Vogue owner's mind, so your thoughts are appreciated.

If others have additional/related questions, please feel free to add them to this thread. Perhaps we can answer maybe questions all at once.

Thanks for your time. :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I've stated this before, but I will say it again. Hardware video acceleration is not possible on the vogue, unless htc releases an updated display driver (DDI.dll). The Kaiser or Polaris drivers cannot be ported either, due to our ddi missing required functions.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] focusedonsound:
So whats the bottom line here for all the people here who do not understand the tech Jargon.

1. Will windows mobile 6.5 eventually be able to be ported or not?

2. Is the only hope for any types of OS upgrades to our phones going to be to port to Android?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bzo:
Wasn't there some hope that the release of the Verizon Touch Diamond would solve this problem since its hardware is more similar to the Vogue?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] derekwilkinson:
It's not. There will never be a driver for the Touch/Vogue. Ever.

WM 6.5 should work, but I'm not sure about the speed. We will just have to see.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I will port WM 6.5 once it is released officially. I'm not even going to bother with the ****ty half-assed partial betas in chinese.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shidell:
NFSFAN,

Again, many thanks from the community for your work on ROMs--it's extremely appreciated, as is your insight. I believe the concern regarding Windows Mobile 6.5 running on MSM7200/7500 hardware has been laid to rest; 6.5 has been demonstrated running on various platforms (e.g. Touch), so I'm confident you'll be porting solid ROMs when the day comes.

Where I am left a little blank is in regard to 3D Acceleration. I understand that there is a lack of 3D Acceleration in the 7200/7500 series because there is no functional ATi Imageon driver. How is this negatively affecting the Touch, other than restricting TouchFlo 3D capability? Is it also affecting scroll speed and smoothness, for example?

This is particularly confusing because HTC released an 'update', which for most of us was the first native 6.1 ROM, which was supposed to enhance graphical and media acceleration. Was this akin to a codec that works better with their chipset, and not really true acceleration at all?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
I think I'm just going to have to sit tight and wait for the official release and for NFSFAN to build us yet another wonderful rom. :)
