**agree**

Ok, first of all its not the device that is causing the issue. Edge is a type of data connection that caps out max speed at about 384 kilobytes a second. Skype needs a faster connection speed than that in order to stream the voice data packets. 3G/ HSDPA is approx 1800 kbps. If you do the math, that makes edge more than 4.5 times SLOWER than 3G ( these are of course maximum theoretical bandwidth speeds in optimum circumstances obviously).

You will NEVER find a phone that can make the edge antennae miraculously make edge jump from 384 kbps to 1800 kbps, as at this point , thats the bottleneck ( the phone antennae as well as the tower )

Its literally like trying to take a 56k dialup modem and stream high quality video which would require a broadband connection........ it just cant handle the data packets in a timely manner.

If you need further assistance in understanding the simple concept of speed and connection type, i strongly urge you to use Google.

Hope this helped you in understanding

dealing with my old hermes 200 I connect to skype and I can even use the call option with PC users only problem is that they hear me but I could hear them
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
That again is due to the network not being able to sustain the data speeds necessary for VOIP. Just because it connected doesnt mean you had it working. I use skype all the time. If I am on 3G and drop to an edge signal, the call quality drops to inaudible breakups.

I answered your question in detail..... I dont see why you are trying to argue a point which makes no sense . If all you are trying to use skype for is typing chat, id look at some other messenger alternatives for skype that would work with edge ( try out fring )

I have tried different roms. The network icon from the upper bar is a little bit different from the original one. Some times it is ok, but most of the time, the H icon looks like strange. Does anyone know the possible reason? the attachment is the home screen from my HD which shows the strange network H icon.:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Carty:
That is the dll file which holds the icons of task bar is changed. You can find the standard one and replcae it to the current one or find better ones too.

Regards,

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] desgo:
I have tried both dutty's and L26's roms. Both of them use the same icon. Why do they change the icon? And actually sometimes the icon became to normal. is the dll file is changed when sometimes it changed back??
[General Topics] pour:elle:
can the option call of "skype beta lite" for symbian work without using a GSM mobile as skype beta for windows mobile ?

personally, I download on a N72, but I did not even call the icon, and in the section of the help it says that "skype" is not yet available in your country? I think I should send the link by sms to someone who is in the country where it already exists, and ask him to send it to me via the Internet? so I call the icon, but I do not know if it will work? and if I could use the call without GSM network ! :rolleyes:

what do you think?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] blasteryui:
Okay so every custom rom I have tired landscape does not work! Is their any custom roms that are good like NSfans but have landscape? I ask because the keyboard is way to small on portrait.. but on landscape the keyboard is large but the screen is smaller, the way it SHOULD be when typing a msg..
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Thats a long known issue with custom ROMS using the TF2D interface, portrait and landscape (as well as many other items) are within the Manila.exe itself and not something "Extra" per se'

I would suggest a workaround I use and google the SPB Keyboard version 4+ (versions less than 4 dont work let alone install) and how to make it "work" fully on your phone with a TF2D custom ROM (if you catch my meaning) then you can obtain the extra skins that work and look best to you and it allows a full screen landscape mode keyboard operation while texting, word, etc in landscape without any known issues I have found so far

Just a suggestion

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] blasteryui:
Okay could you provide me a link with a good keyboard and could you help me install it! I got tsfans custom rom also.

Hello, ive problem after upgrading my dopod 838 pro to wm61. crc 13.3 rom normal, my battery very fast draining, I try also many rom, its still the same. if i make a video call my phone suddenly shut down, i think my battery run out 5% to 10 Percent every minutes. After full charge of my battery only can use around 5-10 minutes. the most worse if my battery full charge i only can acess to internet not more then 5 minutes.

Firstly i thought my battery is dead. when i bought a new battery still the same problem no change.

Please help me..any idea.

* it is possible if to downgrade my official rom wm 5? btw i upgrade my SPL V9 2.60 too.

im panic now, please help me. what should i do???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] level380:
try a different 6.1 rom... I've seen this before... or a hard reset. Sometimes a program is installed that chews up the battery.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rvr74:

[G1 Apps and Games] santaninja:
what steps do you need to take to change a android app to the G1?
[G1 Apps and Games] speoples20:
What exactly do you mean? Android is the OS and the G1 is the hardware.
[G1 Apps and Games] khoaitaychienvn:
did he mean "install" instead of "convert"? :D
[G1 Apps and Games] santaninja:
i have a app that a German company made for the android os , early in the year before the G1 came out and i cant just install it like an app i have to change something, I'd like to know what that is?
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
The app was probably made using an outdated and unsupported version of the Android SDK. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is wait until the developers update it (unless you have the source and are willing to manually review it)
[G1 Apps and Games] santaninja:
i could post the APK
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
The thing is, the source code can't be extracted from an .apk file. It's like taking an .exe on windows and then trying to edit the source code of the program itself. So unless the developer updates the program or provides the source, you're SOL.

Sorry.
[G1 Apps and Games] rhedgehog:
have you enabled the G1 to install applications that are not from the market?

Settings> applications > unknown sources?

of course, this will allow you to install it, but if it's out of date and the programming needs updating, you're still SOL.
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
I'm a T-Mobile rep and my G1 screen died after about ten days of moderate use. I was at the store doing some web browsing when the screen stopped responding to touch. Closed the keyboard and opened again and the phone froze. Hard reset and phone started up, slip open keyboard and screen went black. Hard reset again, no dice. Tried recovery mode, nothing. Called my phone and it rings and I can answer.

I'm guessing ribbon cable. Played about sliding the keyboard half way in and out, etc and occasionally screen backlight would show for a moment. Investigating further, sliding mechanism had pushed back the "s" ribbon cable causing the problems. The ribbon cable was actually folded back. There is very tight tolerance there. This is probably the reason for our other two G1's returned to our store for screen problems. This is a serious design flaw that will affect many G1's over time. The sliding mechanism will catch the lip of the ribbon.

The good news is that my replacement has a fix to the problem. T-Mobile and HTC has apparently quietly made a revision to the design. My new G1 has some teflon tape running from far left side of the slide channel all the way to ribbon cable. This helps prevent the slide mechanism from catching on the lip of ribbon. Checked co-workers with older G1's and they didn't have the longer piece of tape. Sold one today to customer, checked in the slide channel and bingo, longer teflon tape.

Just a heads up guys. The boxes don't have date stamps like most of our phones so you won't know if it has the fix until you open it.
[G1 General] d00m:
Kind of a bummer since I got mine on ebay soon after it came out. Is this something I could fix myself by opening it up or do you need an "expert" to do it?
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
You should be able to be proactive before damage has been done. With phone upside down and keyboard open and facing you look in the groove that the slide mechanism goes. On the side facing you, you will see where the ribbon cable attaches to the wall. It will probably have 1/2" or less of a white teflon tape at that point. On the revised G1, that white tape runs from the ribbon all the way to the edge of the screen width. Basically the new tape is half the screen width wide.

You could probably use a teflon or other slick surfaced tape to cover the area the sliding mechanism tracks. That yellow cellophane-like tape that comes with temp sensors for computer components would probably work good as it is stiff enough to wiggle it where it needs to go without having to take screen apart.

I would take pics but my camera has shot craps.
[G1 General] d00m:
This?
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
No, hold phone with screen facing you and upside down so usb port it at top. Open screen. Look down at screen assembly where it looks hollow or a channel. Do you see the slide hinge assembly and ribbon cable now.
[G1 General] d00m:
Oh like under here? I added a little padding to fix the creek so I think I'm fine.
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
Wish I had a pic. Take that picture you just posted. Now rotate phone 90 degrees counter-clockwise. USB should be on top. Now tip the phone towards you. You are now looking at bottom of phone, you should be looking directly at the charge port. Look directly left, you'll be looking at bottom edge of the slide out screen, right. Do you see how the bottom of the screen looks hollow, about 1/2" deep channel, inside is the hinge and ribbon cable. Sorry to confuse.
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
DING DING DING!!! We have a winner!!!:p Thanks for the picture so others will know what I'm talking about.

Do you see where the ribbon cable is adhered to the inner wall, that is the weak point.
[G1 General] d00m:
Well I see like a piece of metal with the ribbon sliding back and forth as you open it.
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
When you barely start to open it you'll see how that "piece of metal" slides over where the ribbon cable affixes. There is a tight clearance there. What can happen is that "piece of metal" starts to get hung up on the edge of the ribbon, eventually peeling the ribbon back. They fixed the problem by placing a tape over where the "piece of metal" tracks thus removing the edge to get snagged on. I suck at explaining things.
[G1 General] slaveonepunx:
Great picture as it shows the ribbon cable in question. The area in question is where the cable is affixed on the right side as viewed in the above photo.
[G1 General] d00m:
Hey thanks for the heads up (and the repeated instructions). I inserted a piece of electrical tape over the metal part so it will move more smoothly over.
[G1 General] phantom1260:
Hi there i was just wondering what if the damage has already been done. Unfourtunatly the ribbon cable on mine has already been damaged. Now i took it to a repair shop and he said he could not find the part anywhere. I'm wonder can i tape up the old cable and get it to work... or where can i find a new one. Btw I am in Canada i bought the phone off some person so i do not have any warranty. thanks for anyhelp in advance
[G1 General] speoples20:
I've never seen this issue before at my store. I'm sure it could happen but I don't really see this as a huge issue, yet. Our store displays get abused so much and constantly slide open and closed and they show no signs of problems. I will def. keep an eye out for this issue.
[G1 General] phantom1260:
--------bump.
[G1 General] Luca_Dream:
How do I tell if I have the tape? What color is it?

P.S. I am looking in the right spot so don't tell me where to look
[G1 General] moussam:
can someone post a picture of the white teflon tape on the original G1 and the revised G1. Here is a picture of my phone, from what I read I am guessing I have the old phone prior to the fix, but I am not sure...
[G1 General] kmetz:
Two more pictures, I guess this is the revised version with the long tape.

Edit: just links to the jpegs: first, second.
[G1 General] Proxin:
This might be a stupid question.. but do you actually have to take apart the screen to get that piece of tape in?
[G1 General] d00m:
No you could just slide it in and push it down with tweezers
[G1 General] phantom1260:
Does anyone know where i can purchase a replacement ribbon cable from?
[G1 General] TheDudeOfLife:
Looks like I fell victim to this too. Just called t-mobs an have a warranty unit on the way. My screen would jiggle (phantom touches in the multi touch kernel), not recognize the right touch coordinates in the stock rom, and general chaos (deleted sms/emails, accidental apps launches/exits)
[G1 General] marioiscoool:
I'd want to put place the tape from the white thing towards the keyboard right? or is it away from the keyboard, towards the top of the phone when opened. i cant quiet tell from the second picture.

also, do i place the tape when its fully open or semi opened?

thanks
[G1 General] Dharkaron:
http://www.cellulardr.com/products.php?cat=513

Not sure if they have just the ribbon cable and their prices seem high too. But maybe this will help you find the right part numbers to search ebay or elsewhere for.
[G1 General] phantom1260:
Thanks for your help Dharkaron i've checked this site before i didn't find any ribbon cable there. Is the ribbon cable the same thing as flex cable? if so then i could just get the flex cable along with something else.
[G1 General] Dharkaron:
Yeah ribbon cable or flex cable. Looks like this: http://www.cellulardr.com/G1SlideFlexBlk.htm

or this:http://www.cellulardr.com/G1MainFlexAsmbly.htm

is what you need. Im thinking its the first one but its hard to tell if the second has the right cable included.
[G1 General] phantom1260:
Thank you SOOO much Dharkaron now i can finnally get my phone fixed and use it again
[G1 General] pinetreehater:
Interesting. My Dev1 phone seems to be touching the ribbon where it connects, too. I can see where tape would prevent it from happening.

I also see where it only touches when you "torque" your screen while closing. At least on mine.
[G1 General] weezie95420:
wea do i put the electric tape at cuz im having dat same problem. like point a arrow at the spot.
[G1 General] weezie95420:

@MODS and all users:

A PANEL development SUFORUM should be a great place to share SONY PANELS SDK info and experiences

As with other HTC phones, I have seen apps and ROMs populating the forums, but we are omitting the whole idea behind the XPERIA CONCEPT: PANELS !! I know it is a novel concept (panels itself), but XDA DEVS should lead the pace Ain't ?? ;)

I have seen some excelent panel-developing posts starting to pop up recently, like THIS ONE, but a DEDICATED PANELS DEVELOPING SUBFORUM would boost production thru the typical xda-devs knowledge exchange and sharing

Please consider this possibilities, share your ideas, and thanks for reading

:)
[XPERIA X1 General] gtaz:
Yea I agree, I would like to get back into a little developing but an area where everyone can share Panel development tips/experiences etc would be great.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
That's what I mean: a place to talk just pannels
[XPERIA X1 General] mo.ammi:
I think it would be a very logical subforum.

Mods?
[XPERIA X1 General] nixx-X1:
Maybe not only for panel development but for all software dev/tweaks.

the current (non rom) forum is too cluttered with non-dev questions, cracks in cases etc.

it's getting harder by the day to get proper tech information and problems solved..
[XPERIA X1 General] scar45:
I second that!
[XPERIA X1 General] gtaz:
Yea I feel the same. I have read the X1 forum on here since it started and have found it very helpful. It does seem a bit cluttered with noob questions etc, to filter out the general discussion from the Panel/Software development would be really helpful.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I'd rather have the standard Apps and themes, panels can intergrate into that happily. Then this first one can be for people who forget that this isn't a helpline.. I meant for general questions.

It's a format that works across the site so why not change what works?

I've not seen enough discussion on panels to say it merits a subforum yet. Maybe a couple of stickies would suffice for a while?
[XPERIA X1 General] nixx-X1:
If you need an extra (sub) mod for it, let me know..
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
I'd really like to have a nice place to discuss about panels (and apps?) DEVELOPMENT only

Other forums (check blackstone) DO have separate sub-forums for this purpose

Thus, general questions go to te "general" Blackstone subforum and not in the "DEVELOPING" subforum

But what do MODERATORS think about this ??

Tnyynt ? Alltheway ? Equinox ?

What do you think about my proposal ?

IMHO, I think it's time for the XPERIA to have a PANELS AND APPS DEVELOPMENT subforum
[XPERIA X1 General] Ethermind:
it's will be very useful place
[XPERIA X1 General] xhaz:
I think it's a great idea, especially considering the present state of panel development. imo anything that can be done to help facilitate developers should be.

It can only be a good thing, right?
[XPERIA X1 General] Maedhros:
Yupp. I hope their are ppl who actually want to do this though.
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
awesome idea !!

first project suggestion - modify the Media Panel to incorporate a home screen, weather and messaging. Would be great to have an SE version of TF3D :)
[XPERIA X1 General] scotchua:
I think that a Software, Themes, & Panels sub-forum is definitely possible. I think it's very unlikely that there will be a whole sub-forum devoted to it. Additionally, i'm not convinced that as far as development goes that a stickied thread wouldn't suffice if it was designated for developers. I of course could be wrong, but seeing as how TF3D doesn't even have a sub-forum, i'm gonna say it's unlikely that panels will.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Yes I had that same idea:

Why port TF3D when a similar Xperia panel could be created ?? :rolleyes:

I've been trying (trying...) to learn a little about panels, but I really miss a dedicated place/thread/subforum/whatever to READ MORE and LEARN MORE and share knowledge -INPUT, I NEED INPUT :p

I'll start a thread in the mean time
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of years just grabbing the odd file here and there. First I had a Universal, then a Polaris and now an X1. I've found myself getting a lot more involved with the technical aspects of my handsets and Panels was a contributing factor in my decision to get the X1.

I have a basic introduction to programming and yet I came up with a launcher panel in a short time today. Okay, so I had to use the "compiler" at mysonyericssonblog.com but it was almost no effort to come up with a HTML launcher for an application along with it's panel graphics. If a relative novice like me can come up with something, then we're going to get snowed under here with custom panels in very short order.

I agree with gtrab about TF3D... X1 owners should run it as a panel because "our" phone has the ability and we're giving ourselves the option to change the interface in a few seconds. I personally think the cross-pollination of Blackstone apps/interfaces with the X1's can only lead to good things.

I think somewhere for discussion about panels and launchers is a very good idea. If we don't get all the panel discussions collected together, we're going to lose them in the tide of people after free tech support for their shiny phone. I don't mind trying to help out where I can, but I spend more time poring through the XDA-Dev forums than all my other "daily" sites combined. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] nixx-X1:
At the moment I spend most time rebuilding (not only reskinning) the tfl3d interface (which is indeed a panel!)

By know I know there are 3 places of this forum where there is info about it :D

-Development and Hacking

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260

-Themes, Applications and Software

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474

- and burrried in the x1 forum

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=436

the blackstone fora does have a 'themes, applications and software' subdevision which separates the crap from the useful things.

if we could get one of those (with the same name) we can separate the creation and alterations from the problem solutions and daily chit chatter.

please..please..please :P
[XPERIA X1 General] fracmo2000:
I would also like to see this at some point.

Still nothing on the SE site regarding new panels...plus the total lack of games/apps that work on the x1.

Its a real shame, dont want to compare it to the iphone...but it has such a wide variety of games & apps in such a short time. I understand its diff for winmo (due to different handsets, specs etc)...but I notice some winmo apps are setup so it automatically goes full screen...which gets me thinking why arent they all like this?

Again, I know apple check all the apps and anybody can make apps for winmo (which is party a good thing)...just seems a bit of quality control wouldnt go a miss.

I also read somewhere MS is setuping up an app store similar to apples...reaaaaally looking forward to that!

Currently I only have a few actually useful apps on my phone

TomTom

Core Player

GAlarm

The rest just seem so...meh!
