[XPERIA X1 General] buzz83:
You should be able to get GSM reception world wide (quad band GSM) on either phone.

If you want 3G reception in the US go for the X1a, it also has UMTS2100, so you will be able to get 3G reception in many other parts of the world too.
[XPERIA X1 General] bluespire:
Is that a garaunteed 3G Freq in the rest of the world? Can you give examples of where it would be used? or is it like 1900 in the US, where only major cities will broadcast on that Freq?
[XPERIA X1 General] AlexDem:
I haven't problems with my SEX1 on Russia (my country) 3G, EDGE, GPRS, and in Europe (UK, Germany, France)
[XPERIA X1 General] bluespire:
Do you have the X1a or X1i? My question is specifically about the X1a Freqs.
[XPERIA X1 General] AlexDem:
Oops, sorry, my official russian SEX1 exactly X1i

But I think difference between X1a and X1i only in ROM, you can change it to worldwide edition.
[XPERIA X1 General] bluespire:
I know for a fact that what you just said is wrong, there is a hardware difference. Specifically, the radios are different.
[XPERIA X1 General] AlexDem:
Sorry, I can't catch a problem.

You can compare spec from Russian and US official SE sites

No difference
[XPERIA X1 General] bluespire:
The English version you linked to is indeed the X1i (900MHz), and not the X1a (850MHz).
[XPERIA X1 General] bluespire:
Bump!!

Please, read my OP and let me know what you think.
[XPERIA X1 General] bluespire:
Sorry to keeps asking this, but I really need a satisfactory answer before I choose which one to buy.
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
I recently purchased an additional Xperia, an X1i, to test 1900 MHz 3G proliferation in my part of the world.

In most of the area that I live, work and travel, the X1

a

got a perfect 3G signal and the X1

i

would only get EDGE. The only place the X1i picked up a truly usable "H" signal was in DC itself. As soon as I got outside the DC metro area, the phone would start using EDGE. Even if it showed an "H" it would immediately move to EDGE when I started to make a voice call or when I started to use data.

I do not think that most users of the Xperia are going to be happy unless they have an X1a. If you live in a metro 1900 MHz area that was developed in part of the older AT&T 3G rollout and you will seldom leave that metro area, then perhaps the X1i will work for you. Otherwise, I think you should spend the extra money for the X1a.

As for your overseas travel, perhaps people could be of a little more use to you if you could tell us what countries or major metro areas you'll be travelling in.

Most of Europe is using the 2100 MHz WCDMA frequency, if that helps. Your US edition X1a would work fine on that frequency.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands <--If you scroll down you will see the UARFCN settings for the UMTS frequencies. If one of your friends overseas can use fieldtest.exe from a Windows Mobile phone, they can check to see what channel they are on. :-) I know the UARFCN will show up in the "3G Neighbour" screen. Cannot remember if it shows up elsewhere.

I have a question

I have the game "Worms" on my device. To specify it's on my storage card.

Today I made a hard reset.

Now I want to make a link to the .exe from Worms. Cause now I hae to go through file-explorer and I want it like it was before the hard reset. There was a link in my games folder before the hard reset under programs...

How can I do this again ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] killerscene14:
resco file explorer is your friend
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hammellose2:
Sorry, but I don't unsterstand this....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] schneid:
It is being suggested you download and install Resco Explorer a pay-for app that does have a free trial. Resco allows you to Click/Hold an .exe file and Send To a StartMenu shortcut which are trying to do.

You can do it the hard way with Notepad but it is a pain.

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/

Total Commander, I think will do it too, but I own Resco and am familiar with it. It is FREE.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] polystirenman:
Hi

If you use Resco File explorer you can create shortcut to any exe file.it wil be placed to your start menu.but you can do it manualy too.without useing Resco FE.

1. Open Notepad

2. Place the entire path to the file in the first line of the file, including the .exe file. You must use quotation marks if it resides in a directory with spaces, such as “\Program Files.”

3. Count the number of characters in the command line, including spaces and quotes, to get the length of the string.

4. In the .lnk file, the format for the line is

<length of string>#<command line>

5. Save the file and copy it to the "\Windows\Start Menu" directory on the Windows CE or Pocket PC device. This places the shortcut at the top level of the Start Menu.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rlsmith999:
You don't need a 3rd-party explorer or notepad. Creating shortcuts is very simple using the built-in file explorer.

Step 1: Start file explorer.

Step 2: Navigate to the folder the EXE is in.

Step 3: Highlight the EXE.

Step 4: Copy the EXE to the clipboard (Menu | Edit | Copy).

Step 5: Navigate to the start menu folder you want the shortcut in (typically \Windows\Start Menu\Programs).

Step 6: Paste a shortcut to the EXE (Menu | Edit | Paste Shortcut).

Step 7: Rename the shortcut if desired.

The shortcut will now be in start menu programs. You can now move it to and from the top-level start menu using Start | Settings | Menus.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hammellose2:
First of all thanks to everyone for posting...

But I have one question....what do you mean with "highlight the EXE?"

I hope you can help me ^^
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rlsmith999:
When you navigate to a folder in File Explorer, the first file in the folder is highlighted (selected). Highlight the the executable file to which you need a start menu shortcut, either using d-pad down, or tap-n-hold with the stylus. This will be the file copied to the clipboard in step #4.

Note: I use the term "highlight" rather than "select" because selecting the file implies tapping on it, which will open the application. You don't want to start the application.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Dane Austin:
Do a search. There are many tutorials that can walk you through this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DennisN:
Hi guys,

I have a Wizard G3 with:

Rom: CR86 Touch HD v1.6

IPL/SPL: 3.08

Radio: 2.69.11

Network: Vodafone (NL)

And the problem is when I try to send a text message I get an error: "Your text message cannot be sent". It's not always and when I got the error I can still make phonecalls and recieve messages.

Can someone tell me what causes this problem. Has this got to do with my Radio?

Thnx

btw, excuses me for my bad english: I'm dutch ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] P0ll0L0c0:
Anyone know how to create a shortcut to the page with bluetooth settings?

To be specific, I get there by tapping start, settings, connections, bluetooth. But I'd like to be able to get there with one click from my homescreen or programs folder. I know this was possible with previous versions of Windows Mobile - by creating a "bluetooth.Ink" shortcut. But I was unable to get this method to work with my Touch Pro - the shortcut must be different.

To be clear, I'm not looking for a bluetooth toggle - but I'd like to get to the page that shows bluetooth devices, with fewer clicks.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Xda-dev commnity made a Bluetooth.exe file,which is able to do lot of trick using different commandline arguments. For me is the most important to have toggle off/diiscoverable. Try to search for it,I wrote it here several times already.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] P0ll0L0c0:
Thanks! I'll search for that bluetooth.exe - and see if it can do what I'm looking for.
[General Questions and Answers] TllEWL:
Bit of a noob question for my first post - sorry

Bought myself an SPV M5000 (remember them??) running WM6... didn't realise how big this thing was till it turned up :rolleyes:

Anyway - the issue - in standby alone I seem to be getting about a days worth of battery out of it before it dies. This is not acceptable.

Running radio version 1.18.00 (Dunno if the rest is important, but ROM 2.07.00 WWE, Protocol 42.54.P8)

Now I've found some archived threads about rolling the radio version back to help solve this - was 1.18.00 one of the problem versions (should have fixed it by now surely??) and if so, how far back should I be looking?

Anything I could/should try before this? and...being really lazy now...could anyone post/show me to an idiot's guide for doing this

Thanks (and I promise to contribute more on future posts...if I don't just bin this paperweight first) :p

Welcome to the forum

I would recommend you to enter to Universal forum and read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=267448

I have heard that some radios drain the battery fastet than others, I´m using 1.08 and my original battery from 2005 last me day and a half using a lot of calls and some BT and WIFI

Good luck and don´t forget to vote!
[General Questions and Answers] TllEWL:
OMG! Soo much information

Thanks for the steer to the Universal section (may have found that eventually, but god knows how long it would have taken)

3hrs later, I think I've established that although I don't have the randomly dying battery (still going at .... 21%) Radio 1.18 works for others, so I probably do need a new battery - the phone's still got its protective screen covers on it, but that's not to say that the battery was new.

I'll switch back to my Treo (7days+ with use) for now and just use the brick for the SatNav till I get a new battery.

Don't think I'm gonna be able to spare the time to read up on how to do all this flashing stuff safely so hope the new battery works :o
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Yes a new battery is the best solution, try to get the original!

On Universal forum there is a member called Dukenukem that sells the original ones at good price

You actually don´t have to spend so much hours reading and it´s worth!

Cheers and don,t forget to vote!
[General Questions and Answers] Bulldog:
First: Yes Exec is a brick and Since I have it, I have given up to carry my 45 Magnum. HTC Universal (Exec) can do the same job :p

Be Frank IMHO Exec had never good battery live.. I hear some people saying they can last 1-3 days with it, but in my case: Push mail 80-100 mails, calls, a lot reminders and PIM use it has never lasted full one day.

My suggestion to stretch your battery live:

1) Low Phone Signal increase the power connection:

2) Radio Version depends on your service provider or Country.. In some countrys or locations the 118 has no problem but in others it leads to high power consumption or even device freezes. The best thing you can do is try different version and observe your phone Signal; call Quality and Battery live. Here you can find most Radio versions to download: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/Radios/

3) Changing frequent location (Driving) also decrease Battery live.

4) Set your Phone Band Manually to GSM or 3G dont use the setting "Auto"

5) Set your backlight settings to min brightness. ( in my case only to first line!!! Lower then that is Darkness)

6) Set Your Beam off to Incoming Beams

8) Backlight Time.. Set to min time ( in my case is 1min after that bcklight goes off)

9)Turn off device if not used... (In my case time: 1 min)

10) Find the Right ROM.. According my experiences some ROMs have high CPU usage.. even though nothing is active but CPU is running high. In most cases Shell32.exe leading to high CPU. ( My current ROM is Tomal 8.5 standard. very happy with it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=454906 )

11) If you don’t use push mail or don’t Sync. Kill the process repllog.exe. Again in Some ROM the Activesync. runs even though there is nothing to sync. (Push mail or Desktop Sync.) That leads additional CPU usage and also unnecessarily memory consumption.

At the end you will find out that you might need one more spare battery or one with higher capacity as it has been discussed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432099.

Furthermore if you plan to carry the exec on your belt you may also need one of these:http://www.suspenderstore.com/susu60.html :D
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
Oh boy, that link does not carry well across the water, it conjures up totally different images here in the UK.
[General Questions and Answers] Bulldog:
It was not my attention to indicate to the guys with less hair.. it should be protection for not losing his pants.
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
Has to be said that comparison isn't a huge amount better, :), UK pants are under garments, the outer ones are trousers.

And i am missing the guys with less hair connection, suspenders in the UK are a female lingerie item.
[General Questions and Answers] Bulldog:
Thanks for the “Pants” correction in British English.

According the Dictionary it seems in American English meaning of Pants can be also trousers. But hey how I would know..English is just my 4th language.

However Somehow I start to miss your connection to female lingerie items. Frankly speaking it appears to me that you did not see the suspender pictures in the link that I have given or else you would have seen those are the one of two straps worn over the shoulders to hold up trousers (pants). I believe to have seen that such suspender are also worn by Skinheads which some call them “the guys with less hair”

In Order to make it short, I suggest after you seen the pictures in the link, if you would still insist that such suspenders are in UK under the category lingerie items then I might need talk to the Web Company that sells those. They have somehow categorised that suspender under “BIG & TALL GUYS suspenders”????

Anyhow you have a Great day
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
I didi look at the link and hence my comments, i had missed the reference to skinheads, what is being sold as suspenders are called braces in the UK.

Hello, having read, read and read again this forum I now have WM6 on a (spare) G3 mini s. The process went without a hitch. This is totally due to the invaluable info I found here. So, just briefly, I wish to express my gratitude to vippe for the excellent tutorial, mestrini for the WST and mfrazz for the rom, and indirectly through them to the many folks they acknowledged in their posts. Next step - my 'everyday' phone, a G4 mini s! Thanks all and best regards from a noob.

I did the same thing...went from WM5 (dull and boring) on a Cingular 8125 to TNT WM6.1

With the amount of info (btw I remembered the FIRST rule when upgrading a ROM --> ''READ ALL YOU CAN BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING'') found here, the process took me 45 minutes and now I'm a happy owner of a ''brand'' new 8125.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to create all the ''How-To'' lists

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] duttythroy:
Hi all first and mostly I want to apologise for not giving you a ROM, but due to recent activities here I decide to stop my work here and stop making ROMS for now.

For People who dont know already I was asked to cook for X1 and was donated a device which XMOO sent to me.

I also was working on HD AND WAS CURRENTLY TIED UP IN making a ROM FOR IT. I was also working on X1 ROM, but didnt have time between both devices and I stopped for awhile.

Since my last HD ROM ALot of stuff , issues, etc arise here on XDA and I was the main attraction, long story short ,

I given up cooking at the moment and I feel bad not making a rom for u guys, The rom I have still needs work doing and I cant support it if I release it as I have a lot of personal stuff I need taking care of.

I contacted XMOO about sending the device to him so you Guys can decide what to do with it or give it to another CHEF, ETC,

Once again my sincere apology especially for all those who believe in me and all my supporters but whats happened here has really put me off.

If there are any better advise on how to donate the device back to the community just let me know.

Thanks Dutty.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tjex:
Sorry to see you go Dutty, best of luck with you and your family!

On a selfish note though, any chance you can release what you already have for the X1? Would love to try it, bugs and all, knowing that you wont be supporting it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] THE GRIZZ:
sorry to hear about this. this is a real loss to the community. hope you change you mind soon

any chance of convincing you to to realease your unfinished rom at least the cooks over hee can build on top of it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] THE GRIZZ:
oops....just noticed tjax reply
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Like many others I was looking forward in trying your ROM for the X1.

With an ackward eye did I follow the stuff going on in the Blackstone forum and respect your decision to leave the forum, although it breaks my heart a bit.

Best of luck to you and your family!

Maybe we'll see you in the future....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ZenithUK:
If you could release the kitchen /sources to the X1 community, then maybe some other enterprising chef could pick up where you left off. I'm interested in learning the process behind creating a ROM but I'll be honest and say I wouldn't know where to start, even after reading some guides here on XDA-Dev.

Thanks for at least considering making a community ROM, and good luck with what you go on to do Dutty. :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jtoyz2:
Goodluck to you and hopes everything turns out for the better. I know everyone was looking forward for your ROM here, and some just couldnt wait and start saying things they do not mean. All in all thanks for your effort...my suggestion regarding the X1 KEEP it until maybe one day you can bless us with your work.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Bxsteez:
The device should be sold and everyone who donated should get their money returned.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
Its a sad day and I hope to see Dutty back in XDA asap, but **** happens...

Maybe XMOO should PM everyone who donated for this, we could see together over PM's if there is someone else who we would think would benefit the X1 community so much, that we want donate the device to.

If we are talking abotu selling MAYBE I could be interested, but just maybe at this point... I would rather see it go to good use...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] LFCFredda:
I was one of the donators and my suggestion is to sell the phone and donate the money to xda.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
Well Im not 100% behind that... I have donated to XDA with my two usernames and will donate in the future, but this was meant to other use...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Arju:
Been following your work Dutty eventhough i own a Raphael.. well sad to see all the hecticness that were around. Well the best thing you could to is to take care of personal life first... xda forum will allways be here... good luck bro.. keep an eye on devs here so they don't go on wrong paths .. they might need your knowledge some times.. well anyway take care of your self first ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smaberg:
Well Dutty all are behind you on this... about the X1 let Xmoo decide.

but i as all cooks here are very interested in your blackstone rom 1.9 and if that can be ported to X1, please please please contact me or any good chef out there and make a final contribute :D

that would be like, well lets call it religous :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BIG-Stan:
hey Dutty!

Im really sorry to hear that you're leaving. A sad day for the xda community!

I just wish you all the best and hope you'll return one day or if you're moving somewhere else let us know!

Thanks for your great roms!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
So much has been said on the whole "Dutty Dilemma" (Someone should write a book about it! :p )

My first and last comment on it: Too bad it happened, Dutty has been wronged.

On the device, I'm not a donator, but I'd say let him keep it after all the crap.

If people strongly feel it must be sold, I'm a potential buyer.

Still hoping for Dutty to change his mind and put the X1 he got to use though. ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
im somewhat sure he needed one for siassambly reasons. to check hardware etc.

id rather have android on my hpone anyway but since i donated nothing ... let the donaters decide

@dutty

well to sad, ive never seen any of your roms since this is my first winmopho. but still, GL and have fun out there :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Bxsteez:
The sad thing about it is that it wasn't the people on the xperia thread that were giving him so much hell. The people that donated the device to Dutty supported him the whole way. I would say at the least the people who donated the funds to get the device should get his beta rom.

Thats my last two cents :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
you need to take a small vacation... maybe you will get your appetite back.

everyone has the freedom to do what pleases him...

I wish that we will find X1 roms soon on your site..

hope that things will go back to normal...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rosebud:
My opinion Dutty,

Keep the phone, quit the HD scene and come to the xperia scene.

you are an amazing cook, and I for one will be upset if you leave the scene completely.

I have nothing but respect for you, and have every faith that any decision you have made as a mod was done for the right reason.

I dont care if your profiting out of the scene... you work really hard and make a lot of people happy.

if it comes down to it, lets have a vote with all the people that donated just to make sure they are happy with any decision that you make.

I have always followed and used your work, (tytn2, Diamond and well was hoping xperia :P)

I know you have taken a lot of insults from people but please take it with a pinch of salt, I read on your profile you are a manager - me too and we all know what people situations we sometimes have to deal with :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
If you have not donated to the device you should restrain your opinions conserning the matter.
