I just did this, myself. Broken LCD, and all. It's a fun project!

I have found that the *easiest* way to do a SIM unlock, is to pay a vendor to generate an unlock code for you. In fact, there's a user on this forum who offers unlock codes, for a modest fee. Jockey.

The *cheapest* way to do a SIM unlock, is to appeal to TMobile, and have them issue you an unlock code for free. I am also on ATT, and TMobile unlocked my phone...but I am wholly unable to get TMobile service in my area, so this may have been a special case. YMMV

The other forms of unlocking are free...CID and app. Just use this forum's search feature, and you'll find them in no time.

I also found a whole housing available from a Chinese retailer site. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15829 Hopefully this doesn't violate any forum rules, but it could be a useful link for the forum members.

Hope this helps you get started.

[HTC Excalibur] bigboibbp:
thanks for that, it was very helpful and did kinda give me a confidence boost.

can u tell me how to set up the phone so i can use att internet, or will it automatically set its self up?

whats your fave rom?

and thanks, ima probably pick up that housing after i get the cradle

and what does sid and app unlock actually do?...

well thanks again, cant wait till my screen arrives
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
You have to app unlock if you want to flash a different rom and use third party apps, cid/sim unlock is if you want to use a different carrier besides tmobile.
[HTC Excalibur] bigboibbp:
kool... thanks.

any advice on what rom to use?

cool tweaks and apps?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Test all the ROMs wont take 15 mins each to get set up as base, the choice is personal and you will find the ROM you like, there are threads about the apps we use & tweaks, please use the search & take a look @ the WIKI :)

Also many site can be found via Google with smartphone app's.
[G1 General] jaboswell:
So whats the big deal with the Class of SD cards...

I have read here and other places about not being able to use anything below Class 6.

If I understand correctly a Class 2 writes at 2mb/s, Class 3 writes at 3 mb/s, Class 4 writes at 4 mb/s..and so on up to Class 6....

So i understand that everyone is basically saying you need to be able to write at 6 mb/s....why is this and why cant I use my 4GB Class 2 Sdhc card to store caches and/or apps....I paid $7 for my 4GB card but didnt pay attention to the Class because i didnt think it would matter...

Thanks...
[G1 General] Dharkaron:
From what I understand you should be fine using it to move apps to the card. People say if you move data or cache you will experience a slowdown. Id say try it if you want, at worst you just undo the data/cache.
[G1 General] Darkrift:
I tried using a brand new 4g class 2 card, and massive failure. I purchased an 8g class 6 on newegg.com for $17 shipped and the same install worked perfectly. My g1 now has 250+ apps and runs just fine with 40+mb free space on device (I left my data on there)
[G1 General] mannyb:
Apparently a good Class 4 card is good enough, but to be sure you really should go with a Class 6 one, or you might experience a lot of lag.
[G1 General] savethechicken:
My class 2 all I did was run the apps off the card everything seemed to go good and then I wasn't able to update themes anymore any theme I tried to update said bad and would abort. And then my phone began to freeze all the time and apps began to force close or not ever launch. It work great for about a week and then all that started to happen. I picked up newegg the 8gb class6 about 2 weeks ago and have since to have a problem!
[G1 General] mariod1269:
i have an 8gig class 4 and when i moved apps to the sd card my G1 became really sloooooooooooooow. apps took a while to open, and when i was finished with an app and hit the "back" arrow or the home button it would take 3-4 seconds for the home screen icons to show up. it was quite annoying.

i have gone back to running the apps from the internal memory and i'm back to top speed. i'll probably try again with a class 6 sometime soon.
[G1 General] jaboswell:
well thanks...I will make sure to buy a Class 6 than...didnt think it was a big deal and couldnt find any others who did fine with other classes...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] THE GRIZZ:
i cant really say im a big fan of subforums like this one. but since this forum in now finally up i think the mods should transfer the applications & themes topics that are scattered in the ROM and general forums over here.

btw, why are just getting this now? why wasn't this made when the original x1 forum created?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] guap:
the staff can't imagine what kind of success a device could have :)

give them some time
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
LOL

my experience with them is not good..

i need to change

- battery cover ( faded )

- casing ( cracks )

My camera button is crazy

Keyboard is wierd

sigh
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
Best of luck mate....tell me when that keyboard gets better because mine is fcked too :(
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
My spacebar is quite unresponsive, have two cracks, and my slider is wobbly as well
[XPERIA X1 General] deepmenace:
how long have you guys had your phones' for?

i'm just starting an 18month contract so this doesnt bode well.

anyone with an launch month x1 that is still in full working order?
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
GL man. SE sucks.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kakaan:
GL

@deepmenace

I had my phone since christmas and its working very well no cracks, no troubles :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Jiggarome:
me too

ive had man just over a month and no cracks or build quality issues.

The signal is still garbage compared with my k800i and i already have the latest firmware.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
back ..

they changed my battery over and the horror begins!!!

keyboard, camera button, NO STOCK

cracks in cover, will be charged around 60 usd NO WAY

i think this IS my last SE phone.. will try to jump ship to touch hd or something asap
[XPERIA X1 General] Mopral:
Don't forgot X1 is made by HTC...
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
yah but its SE service
[XPERIA X1 General] superweijie:
Wobbly is standard and I am used to it. But the rest are unacceptable.

dadeadman, I am also Singaporean. Wanna go Service Centre or Small Claims Trbunal together? The SE support most likely won't give us much help. ALso, even if they did, the problems will come back again. I am really not fond of this crap.

Force them to give you a exchange.

So? HTC was making the phone for SE. Anyone else think that HTC was trying to mess with Sony Ericsson? All the delays even though a prototype was available very early on? And now after the phone is launched, so many problems.

Nah, the above is just pure speculation.

Soon countries have better service, such as those in Europeran countries I believe.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
it is so tough to find a good phone !
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Word! I'm so fraid that my phone is going to be fcked up soon as well...
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
How many times has your X1 cracked? Won't Small Claims Tribunals cause lots of hassle?
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
is the touch hd good btw??? anyone knows.. if not what is the best keyboard winmo?
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
Every phone will have its own prb
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Small Claims Tribunal!? That's a little exaggerated, right? Doubt you're gonna get anything out of this. Ain't exactly illogical of them to be claiming any exterior physical defects to be due to wear & tear. After all, not everyone who bought the phone has gone back to them to complain. We're probably just the unlucky ones (my X1's more or less ok except for the wobbly slider and paint chips on the battery cover).

As for better service in other countries, well, think it all depends. After all, the service centre here is outsourced.
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
ipporek, got yours fixed?
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Went to the service centre (both Wisma and Junction 8) a couple of times with regards to the wobbliness and always got the same answer that it is normal. As for battery cover, got it replaced once cos of a 'hump' in the middle when I first got it, but even with the new cover, I'm still getting the paint peel. Am considering buying an extra battery cover.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
what? they gave u a new one and it peels again???????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chlind:
If you are experiencing one of or all of the problem above (in my opinion they will all happen) :eek: , then check if you are installing CE-Star(language expansion pack program). If you are, then check if it is already registered.

How to solve:

Register your CE-Star.;)

Cause:

It seems that CE-Star is halting itself and causing error in date system (date format). This explain missing date from your home and why you can't set the date format. I don't know why, in turn, it also cause error in your clock/alarm software.:confused:

CE-Star didn't show any notification when you need to register :mad: . You still can use the chinese / japanese input mode.

Hope my experience helps... :cool:

THANK YOU OPERA! ! ! !

No really, this is great. I can't wait. All browsers on WM have their vice's (including Opera), but still, every time I keep coming back for Opera Mobile goodness.

I checked out the Turbo function on the Opera 10 Alpha, and its pretty good. I hope the rendering is faster and more effective, since that (processing power) is still a weak point on WM devices.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Calvin H:

All I ask for is Opera Bookmark sync. Hopefully this will be included.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
I've also been searching for a possibility to edit the Opera-Mobile-bookmarks on the PC to get kind of sync. And I found a - I have to give in not very comfortable - solution.

All you have to do is to edit your 'opera6.adr'-file. You can either replace the one on your X1 with one made by Opera on the PC or you can also open the file with the Editor on your PC and edit it how you want it.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] elee888:
>>> I already tried this and I noticed that the bookmarks are not in the same order as they are in pc browser. I also noticed that when typing in web addresses in Opera, that there is a lag because I think it searches through all my bookmarks.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] fishb:
really excited to the opera 9.7.

Hope the flash problem really solved in the new version
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] tsponge:
my biggest problem with current version of opera in that you have to "zoom in" to click on links, as aposed to selecting them in the "zoomed out" mode. You get what I mean?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] sjefske:
yeah, know what u mean

i really really want adobe to release a decent flash plugin (or opera should come up with another solution;))
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] D-fens:
Hope the new one can play youtube movies directly from the website they are buildin. Watching www.pocketnow.com I can only see black boxes with "play" sign on it. When there's no link to www.youtube.com its hard to find the one.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] therealreddavid:
It's probably not going to happen. Turns out, Opera are quite prone to simply giving up on software and never getting round to releasing new versions. It's as if they have some attention deficit disorder, except on a company scale.

Iris is probably better, anyhow.

using my hardwarekeyboard opera always opens the softwarekeyboard so that the whole screen is covered with buttons. is there any way to bypass that?

and moreover, do I have the chance to get my Touchflo3d internet tab to launch opera 9,7 on klicking the globe?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] fracmo2000:
If you find out how to change the internet tab to use 9.7 AND to get rid of the soft kb...please let me know :D

I have read people mention about mortscript...maybe that would stop the software kb coming up in landscape...but keep it available on portrait. Can anybody that uses mortscript let me know if this would be possible?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] toosas:
yes, software keyboard seems like a problem for now as well as the internet tab issue. it's a beta after all, but let's stay tuned
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] orelsi:
I finally got my smooth scrolling back :). I don't what happened to my old Opera but when I zoom and start scrolling (reading text or w/e) instead of the smooth movement there is choppy "jumping".

The new Opera is as smooth as.... well you get the picture :D.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] TheNicoT:
Well... for me, flash is working fine!

Just installed opera, and - tadaaa! I can watch youtube videos etc. direct through the browser. Only problem: Watching is a bit laggy.

My Question: Is it possible to configure, that the Volume Up/Down buttons work as zoom? I liked that feature. One zoomstep is not enough i think....
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] FrezoreR:
opera.. that's where I work =)
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Baxxx:
Hi!

just installed, too, seems to work quite well!

One Question: is there a way to change the behaviour of the scroll-pad of the x1 to the old "SE-style"

9.7 default: gliding on the infrared joystick steps between links ald starts scrolling page if no links in reach.

old 9.5 SE: gliding scrolls page, DPAD steps between links

in opera:config i didn't find the right setting to change, but i know there is a config area to change the behaviour....

thanx in advance

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] charmzZ:
when is the original opera 9.7 coming out? i can only find the beta version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Is this remotely possible, I find that HTC finally got it right with the All People part of the People Tab.

I really have no use for the tab itself but just go their to use the all people which has the contact/favs/call history simular to iContact so what I would like to do is use GreenButton to hook All People to the Green Send Key.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] koen_bas:
I would like this "all people" to link to the left soft key on the homescreen. I know how to remap the key, by changing HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila\HomeLSKPath. But I don't know what to put there... :( Does anybody know the original command for the "all people"-screen???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vgunmanga:
Try creating a shortcut with

"\Windows\ManilaShortcut.exe" people

Then you can set it to a button. Works for me, hope it helps.:)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrew-in-woking:
Create link in Start Menu

Hi iggy

You need to create a .lnk file shortcut in the Start menu folder and then use the buttons setting to map it to the long press green button. A .lnk is just a .txt file with the extension renamed to .lnk.

The start menu folder is:

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

Copy this command into a text file:

44#"\Windows\Manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people/browserlayer/peopleAll.page

Rename the extension to .lnk and copy into the start menu folder.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] icke:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila:HomeLSKPath->"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

Don't forget the quotation marks...it's really important

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila:HomeLSKText->Name it, what ever U want

Restart Manila...be happy!

Works fine for me...:)

ReRemind V1 Config Tool

Requirements :

.NetCF 2.0!

Overview :

a little proggy i coded just now to config ReRemind V1 :p

When the app loads, it lists the defaults value in the boxes, so just change it according to your needs :)

Download Link :

see attached

Ps. excuse the image, its my irfan's view setting, i forgot to change it, and im not in the mood to run the Emulator again, as my device is currently busted ;/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
thanks ather for the config tool
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
@thx, does this work for sms too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DANDANA:
@ather90

i think your conf prog will mess up few keys from dword to string..

or i'm doing something wrong...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ather:
hmm, my app just reads the default values, and lets u replace them, dont know about them messing them up :o

as i said, i only tested in an emulator, not a real device ;/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DANDANA:
Well, initially all the keys are dwords except the SoundFile witch is string. After using your conf and press set all keys except HourInactivityStart and NotifyInterval are changed to strings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlockbusterF:
If it could also remind me at unread SMS/MMS messages this little tool would be perfect.
