[XPERIA X1 General] digital_elysium:
It's pretty safe to say that one of the bigger drawbacks of the Xperia over the likes of the iPhone is that isn't particularly finger-friendly in it's stock form.

I've installed iContact, which is fantastic, and has made it very easy to scroll and select contacts with a finger. The Media Experience panel, while not perfect as a player, is pretty useful for finger-friendly media browsing, and S2U2 is great for iPhone style slide-to-unlock finger control.

But the main thing I am still struggling with is SMS messages. Are there any iContact equivalent programs available for messaging? What do other people use?
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
Personally I use Spb Mobile Shell and it's integrated contact manager thingy. If I want to send a SMS, I click on contacts, type in the first few letters, click the contact and select 'Send SMS'. Then you just start typing and click 'Send'... Done. I think it's pretty finger friendly.
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
i use phone pad it's good for writing sms's with
[XPERIA X1 General] satchef1:
Try Resco Contacts :) It's still in Beta but it's really, really good. I was using iContacts for my contacts manager but switched to this because it's faster, better looking, smoother, and has all of the phone features integrated (including the SMS that you're after).
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
I have tried the Resco contact manager but find the sms application need too many steps to close the SMS and exit out to the main screen.

One bad point is the Dial Pad when you press the call button on the phone, it will bring you to the Call History and you need to press the keypad then you can key in the number to call out which is a tedious process.

I am using Inesoft 4 instead which offers better functions and user-friendly.
[XPERIA X1 General] fracmo2000:
I downloaded both Resco & Inesoft 4...so will give them both a try...thanks for the advice! Can you setup a program to be used instead of the windows method? Like say in TF3D points to a prefered app?

I did download a cab called "INGChangeFont" which allows you to change the size of fonts. Makes some buttons easier to press (pop-up windows) etc...but it doesnt seem to work for all fonts in windows.
[XPERIA X1 General] pimpmydragon:
You're saying that Inesoft is more user friendly? No way! The buttons are smaller than WM6, and although it's more configurable, sending an SMS is impossible. Start>Programs>Standard Contacts>select contact>Send text message. My old phone was Down>select contact>more>send message so pretty much anything more than that is epic fail in my book. Next, i try Resco, and if that isn't much better, back to the default WM interface. (I wanted to get the purdy picture dialing like HTC, but without the bloat)
[XPERIA X1 General] dingolino:
Which version of iContact

burt or subro?

dingolino
[XPERIA X1 General] Szadzik:
Haha,

I have it as a plugin on Today scree, it is just a click away. Why would you not use the plugin? Why go to stantdard contacts if you have the built-in application in Inesoft?
[XPERIA X1 General] gadgetdude:
Hi,

I've always used SMS-Chat (from a company called VITO Technology i think) - it's really good if you don't use the stylus and so far (i've had my Xperia a week) it seems to integrate perfectly.

Regs.
[XPERIA X1 General] ANULADOO:
vito sms chat is the best for me

till now
[XPERIA X1 General] pimpmydragon:
Because when I went to a contact, there was no option to call/sms/email them... kinda used to the SE standard and WM interface I guess. I didn't know you could use it as a plugin though... i'll have to give that a shot later hehe
[Touch HD General] noris08:
i have noticed that the battery metter is completely unreliable

for example it shows 28% left (btw, i installed FInixNOverBattery for percentage indication) and after a soft reset it shows 41%

or it shows 50% and after soft reset it shows 31%

in this way i can never estimate how long the battery will last

does anybody faced this issue? any solution fot it? (i also tryed to calibrate by completely drain the battery followed by complete charge withe the device turned off)

thank you in advance!
[Touch HD General] Valynor:
noris08,

it is completey normal to experience big jumps in % after a reboot. The battery % is just a representation of the actual voltage of the LiPoly battery, which usually recovers (rises) quite a bit when there is no load on the battery (even for a short time).
[Touch HD General] noris08:
maybe what you say it is true, but i never experienced this behaviour with any of my previous phones. and i had a few, including wm for a few years

and variations of 10-15% - i find them too big
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
I noticed the same thing. Any explanation for this? Or it is just that FInixNOverBattery is not reliable/compatible/accurate ?
[Touch HD General] stepw:
Voltage may vary/jump around due to environmental changes and power consumption or voltage sensor may be insufficiently accurate to provide reliable voltage readings for 1% steps. This is one of the reasons why many battery drivers in WM only provide remaining charge percentage in 10% steps.

In this light, voltage on its own is not a sufficient indicator of remaining charge percentage. Other parameters, such as voltage deviation and other factors, such as power consumption and temperature may need to be taken into account to obtain a more accurate evaluation.

Windows 6.5 Picture Gallery

Summary of points noted:

* Most likely to start appearing in Q4 of this year

* New lock screen, The idea behind the lock screen is that there's a notification box for each type of notification -- email, text messages, voicemails, and so on -- and dragging the appropriate notification with your finger will take you straight to it when the phone unlocks.

* New home screen - Left and right swipes move between calendar events, for example. (pictured above)

* Still uses the X to quit apps etc

* New honeycomb menu/homescreen...scrolling fairly smooth

* New version of IE mobile, scrolls, renders pages better

* New virtual keyboard

* My Phone..syncing over the air

Personal opinion: Looks like the same old Windows Mobile youve come to love and hate. They added a today screen plugin and a new menu system and a cloud program woop de doo. Oh and they updated their SIP...first time in 5 years. Looks like HTC once again has to fill its shortcomings...

Sure, it's not brilliant but it's only a stop gap until WM7 comes out. MS obviously needed to do something before next year and I'm sure it was at the request of the phone manufacturers.

I'm also sure that this will be another fantastically tweakable and skinnable OS. Love it or hate it you can't argue that WM is very customisable.

hi there,

i managed to run quake 3 but WITHOUT 3D opengl acceleration.

anyone suceeded running it with accel.?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
Was it playable?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocMAX:
yes about 5 fps. but hardware accelerated is about 30 fps!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykCer™:
Can you give us details?;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maedox:
The Xperia runs most optimized movies at 20-22 fps, so I don't think we'll be able to run Quake III at a usable framerate anytime soon.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
Could you make a guide of what to install and in what order etc? Maybe upload some files so other could do it?

Obviously dont post any game files or links to game files as this would contravene the anti-warez rules, but perhaps any custom config files if there are any.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
Ok, it worked, even in landscape if i start q3ce while the keyboard is out. In this case, the menu is messed up, but you are able to guess where to press.

It's running at 4-5 fps with low graphics, I think. Anyway, thanks for the config file! Maybe someday we'll have a better optimized quake.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tylwith:
dont forget that q3ce has been program to run on intel 2700g so it's not optimize for our qualcomm with ati graphics

The conversion isn't working properly for me.

After the pakconvert I end up with a 123mb pak0 file (correct according to the installation manual). the 123mb file can't be manipulated though, I get errors when trying to copy, zip or do whatever with the file (so I deleted it.)

Anyone encountered this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Alright, now I've gotten the convert to work, but my X1 keeps telling me that the execute file isn't a valid ppc application!

I've got the original Q3A files, who can send me (/point me towards) the proper PPC files (the non-illegal ones)? I think mine are broken ^_^ (googled).

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tylwith:
you have to remove the libgl.dll and sometime have to softreset for the program to lauch
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Strange thing is, it sais that the executable file doesn't work on my x1! I get the error that it's not a ppc file. And yes, I downloaded the PPC files.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Thanks, that did the first part of the trick!

It's now starting, but always locking up before I actually get into the game.

I'll try a few tricks, already using the config file uploaded before.

EDIT: Deleting the libgles.dll and gx.dll solved part of the problem, but now it gets stuck at the actual loading screen. Any advice?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
I've compressed my pak0 file to 124mb. What size is yours? I'm not sure if it's working correctly (as it keeps locking up at game startup).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tktoby57:
can help me post link this game
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
You have to buy the official Quake III Arena to get the files and then download the q3appc 1.1a files, just google it (and read this thread).

---

I've gotten it to work with the earlier supplied config file. It does lock up a lot, runs at 4 ~ 10 fps and the mouse is inverted (can't find the config line to change that!) and landscape is broken, but it works. :p

It's a nice proof of concept, but nowhere near playable yet. Has anyone gotten better results yet?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tylwith:
for the inverted mouse just change the setting using the setting option of the game.

fps are a bit better running it in vga using wvga fix.

i know it's not really playable ...

as i said it was written for the int 2700g maybe we can try to use the 2700g wrapper .

[XPERIA X1 General] domyue:
I'm running jack's ROM v2.

I've set the screen-lock to automatically activate when idle for "0 minutes". I expected this to mean that if my phone dims, then it'll screen lock.

But the problem is, after 30-60 secs (I haven't counted), it will screen lock. I've set the screen to dim at 3 mins, but the lock comes on a lot sooner.

Anyone have any ideas how to change the registry so that I can make the screen lock only when I press the screen-off button at the top of the phone?? Or at least make it screen-lock only when the phone naturally dims at 3 minutes??

Any suggestions would be great

THANKS!!
