[XPERIA X1 General] vector4agn:
I agree absolutely with you. I just don't know anything about the support Blackberry or HTC are providing in terms of speed and commitment. I am not comparing Xperia to iPhone but SonyEricsson to Apple. And imho SE are trying a lot considering they have to work on winmo 6.1, which are relatively old, not exactly finger-friendly and not very good in media playing. Don't forget Xperia is their first winmo device.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
As far as my experience with other devices goes, I can put almost every other manufacturer above SE in that department. The only company that is worse than SE is Motorola. HTC has been up to good standards for some time. I have never had a Blackberry though. Their design creeps me out :D.

Agreed on the "first WinMo device" part. I have cut them some slack in the past. That is why you will not find many negative SE comments coming from me. The free pass I gave them expired though. From now I'm expecting quality updates regularly :).
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Yeah but the question is also - is X1 such a useless crap that you whine about this upgrade all the time??

I mean I agree - it's expensive, SE should work on it etc.

But I wouldn't exaggerate with this upgrade fever. I have an impression many users scream here about it just because they're bored and need entertainment constantly...
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
well said;)
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
ORLY?

Did I say it was crap??? No, I didn't. Have I ever said it was useless? Nope....I have actually said the exact opposite.

First - Go back and re-read what I have written. Reading comprehension ftw. You have ABSOLUTELY missed my point.

Second - Maybe you think of it that way? Don't project your own feelings on other people's opinions. Debate doesn't work that way.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
This is awesome what a way to spend my time waiting for R3A!!

I must say thank you as this is making my wait very enjoyable, I mean what a debate/argument:D

Keep up the good work guys you never know I may get involved :p
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
oh my god... what a bunch of whiney little girls we have here... for goodness sake se have delivered updates and look like the will continue to do so... I mean holy cow just because they dont do it right NOW because you want them to doesnt mean they are giving up on the x1 or are slack... good god some of you remind me of my kids who harp and whine about getting the latest new bauble 5 mins after getting the next to latest new bauble...

Now take a breath and say Ommmmmmmm relax wait and ye shall receive...

The want it right now attitude is exactly why the crap has hit the fan now...
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Cheers :).

:eek:

Again. Listen carefully. You missed the point. YOU MISSED THE POINT. Go back and read it again. Instead of throwing another tantrum, try to read the damn thread next time. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
No tantrum there... just some fatherly "shut up and wait" suggestions... reading your previous post you expect the se crowd to come to your house to feed you and so forth... holy cow mate... just because you bought a decent device doesnt mean you get to dictate the terms to the company... heck I have a few "high end" devices that dont get regular updates... does this make them or the companies that make them derelict??? hell no... just wait, we have had some movement re updates already... I would rather they get an update right than make them rush because I was too impatient to wait... perhaps though as you suggest we are missing your point... if so perhaps you could clarify??
[XPERIA X1 General] BIG-Stan:
Actually, given SE's past record of support people tend to be negative and its their right. SE ****ed up BIG time with that whole p990 fiasco and its cool that some folks dont care about it and forget it...but some dont.

I rather be more negative towards SE than be more positive so in the end I "MIGHT" be surprised by their actions...

Sure they provided 1 lousy update...so what? As I already wrote, how much are they doing by themselves? The OS is MS, hardware is HTC...whats left?

Panels? The few skins the made for the dialer?

I dont ask for anything since xda is here but the performance of the panels is horrible and its been almost 1 1/2 year since they presented them...
[XPERIA X1 General] Tez2000:
I just miss the good old days when stuff leaving the factory and hitting the shelves were actually complete and ready to use.

Nowadays selling the stuff is somewhere halfway the production line, and the customer becomes a paying betatester.

Clever, i must say.

I am saying this as an ex P990 owner. When they abandoned working on that device it was far from being bugfree. Some people might remember what i'm talking about.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Are you joking or what??!!

Man you're over-emotional.

That was general comment of this reappearing question, nothing to you personally,

so calm down.

I love my X1 so actually piss off ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Oh yes, I had P990 for 1,5 years.

IMO that was the best smartphone regarding it's form factor.

They screwed this big time.

However my P1 was exactly ready out of the box.

My X1 still has R1 and woks good.

So it's not that bad.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Exactly.

Well, it is generally accepted throughout every forum in the Universe that if you haven't quoted anyone, your post is directed towards the previous poster.

I AM CALM!!! :D

I love my Xperia from here to the Sun and back. Best device ever. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Trudi:
I enjoyed the R1A.

The R2A came out, and I enjoyed it even more.

I don't care to have a perfect software, as the hardware is not perfect. And no manufacturer will never build the perfect thing, because the one who will do it will be ****ed up in his future marketing strategy (what to invent if the perfect smartphone is already done ?)

So I accept using my R2A with its limitations, but for sure I'll enjoy if they have a R3A new improvements. No matter when it'll arrive. :p
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Trudi

Fair enough! X1 generally "rulez"....
[XPERIA X1 General] clubx1:
X1 is most definitely a good device. I would say as a customers of a premium phone we have every right to bicker and ***** about the phone. We the consumer need to constantly be unsatisfied otherwise the companies would have no incentive to better themselves and their products. I must agree as well this a very fun way to wait for the official release of r3a. Im just baffled as to what they are working on still, i have downloaded all the R3A cabs and panels and they work fine... so my thing is what are they waiting for to release it?
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
well, SE probably still have some more goodies up their sleeve that they are working on ;)

or i should say, they BETTER have some more goodies up their sleeves for the R3A...

U never know, they might surprise us with another growing panel or some sort...

Slim chance,but i can hope while i wait...
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
R3 is still coming.

I think SE are trying to make it bugfree..

I guess everyone would rather wait to get a rom that's bugfree.. ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I'm waiting for RA537 to have a personal teleporter, or I'm throwing my device out the window !!! :D:D:D
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
:D

the best joke i heard all day ;) this made me giggle

Was a joke right? :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
I'm waiting for a flamethrower, as stated in my sig :D
[XPERIA X1 General] clubx1:
But in all seriousness does anyone have any idea or speculation when it might be released haha? we strayed a little far off topic....
[XPERIA X1 General] korval:
I thought it R3A would of been released by now... Oh well, hurry up and wait!
[XPERIA X1 General] moleculez:
I agree no one come out with FM as the way SE does. But why do u forget that we have payed double the price for this handset and its our right to get it functioning properly. Not to mention the case cracking and poor reception quality and phone heating etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
I really hope its coming out soon because my phone is at a point where it badly needs a hard reset.. its slow and the media panel doesnt work properly any more and it has a series of other little bugs - do definitely hard reset time :P .. however I m trying to be patient for the new update to come out first so that I can do it all at once so come on SE!
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
My thoguhts exactly. In my case i messed by installing a stupid today plug-in and the phone got unresponsive and started to restart on itself every couple of minutes. I put it in safe mode and deleted the stupid plug-in, but now it is slow and has some annoying glitches.... Time for a hard reset and a Firmware upgrade at the same time hehe.

The aplications that messed it up is called "battery pack", so you better stay away from it :D. The most annoying side effect is that when i scroll through a page in MS reader, the articles in my rss reader or in a random pocket pc page, the page doesn't "pop up" like it used to, but opens sequencially from top to bottom. One god damn line of text after the other. It is slow and irritating :mad:.

Give me the update NOW!!!!! hehe :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Glithramir:
WM6.5 is rumored to be released Q4 this year.

But maybe the R3A will not be based on WM6.5?

Windows Mobile 6.5 out 'by the fourth quarter'
[XPERIA X1 General] bobbanswe:
R3A will not be based on 6.5 which is too bad. But of course we will have custom roms which will include the full version of 6.5. Thanks to all the good rom makers at this forum! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Is a hard reset necessary for updatin to R3A?

How was it with R2A? Since it was not really useful to install that update I did not update it. Is it worth to update to R2A?

Greets
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Your phone will hard reset as part of the update process to R3A as with R2A... and yes it is worth updating to R2A...
[XPERIA X1 General] shithead:
So "an update" is actually a full rom.
[XPERIA X1 General] str4d4:
my wish in R3A

- stable...of course

- sounds more louder....of course too

- minimalize the bug...
[XPERIA X1 General] SerGTR:
any proof?

I am just curious what really makes you day so? Because According to the latest articles and rest of them throughout the entire X1 development we have been promised to have something special on X1 comparing to other HTC models released at the same time. Plus looking at fact that Microsoft is willing to upgrade of some already released phone I am 100% sure that at this point it is up to Sony Ericsson whether they want to get the upgrade for X1 model or not, but SE as well have been trying to get the latest, most advance WM code from MS a time of X1's development, its a fact. I am not saying that I am 100% sure but I am 100% hoping that we aren't getting dropped by Sony Ericsson's development team besides the upcoming R3A.
[XPERIA X1 General] aksx1:
my wish in R3A -

1.stable

2.fast

3.wallpapers instead of colours in sony ericsson panel

4.equalizer in media panel and option of colours

5.media panel player should not stop while changing panels as in music shouldnt stop

6.DivX and XviD video support in media panel

7.more useful panels

8.multiple panel interface

9.more thumb friendly interface

10.more options in media panel as i feel it can be more enhanced as sony is the one of the best in it like senseme, shakeme, picture folders, album art should be large size rather than small.. etc.

11.autoflash in the camera
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
Walkman

Media pannel?? what was the point.

SE have an exellent Walkman brand name with amazing products with superior sound quality why not have a Walkman pannel on the X1?

OK media pannel combines multiple ui: video, music, pics and now radio but when you select music the ui should be just like the Walkman.

I would love a Walkman pannel. Can you tell :p
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
Probably because the phone's name start with an X and not an W :P
[XPERIA X1 General] itje:
how about a X-man??
[XPERIA X1 General] chrcad:
Where do you have this informations from? I would be interessted read them by myself.

Tnx for your Informations
[XPERIA X1 General] aksx1:
ya thats what i meant by improving the media panel.. i want a walkman panel.. it will be awesome.. i just love sonys walkman players and walkman phones.. since they have advertised the phone as all in one they should include the walkman and cybershot softwares.. they can do much better than what they do..
[XPERIA X1 General] madxtreme:
omg walkman and cybershot in one device O.o

this would be awesome :D i loved my K800i and my W810i^^
[XPERIA X1 General] johnchan78:
I cannot speak about the other items, but based on the camera app that someone extracted from an early R3A ROM (and which I have also installed), autoflash IS INCLUDED AND IS WORKING.

This was one of my BIG complaints before, and I am happy to say, it is working smooth. You can set flash ON, OFF, or AUTO. In Auto, as it says, it will detect the surrounding light, and just flash when it needs to. Beautiful.
[XPERIA X1 General] Chainy:
I don't quite catch the point of making a Walkman panel..

You have a perfectly good and running media panel from before.

It's an awesome panel which includes a music program, a radio, a game case and such and such. Why start asking for a Walkman panel?

Buy a SE phone which includes it.
[XPERIA X1 General] aksx1:
ya i know that but i am waiting for the official rom to come.. what are your other BIG complaints.. ?
[XPERIA X1 General] aksx1:
x1 is a sony ericsson phone and it is top of the line thats why we want both walkman and cybershot softwares in it.. media panel doesnt include equalizer, senseme, shakeme, etc..
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
and how do you expect shakeme to work on a phone without a g-sensor?
[XPERIA X1 General] aksx1:
i was just telling the features of walkman and cybershot..
[XPERIA X1 General] crabby09:
Is there any new news regarding r3a release date? We seem to have had alot of it in ROMs for a while now and I would have thought someone would know something. Seems strange that it's just dried up.

crabby
[XPERIA X1 General] de Wolfe:
I just can repeat myself.... The German SE-Support told me, that the new FW won't be out before the end of June. And if you look at the bugs of these leaked parts of the R3A, this date seems to be very realistic for me.
[XPERIA X1 General] michaelthemage:
Yeah, makes sense. I remember that we had R2A posted from Pavel several weeks prior that one even announced. So we can presume safely that unless SE has changed their posting habits on EMMA, we won't see anything on SEUS (officially) unless we (or Pavel better said!) find it on EMMA, either as beta or RC if not final.

All this nonsense with 17 of April (because of new panel releases, etc.) is just that.... nonsense and gossip :rolleyes:

As soon as Pavel is posting 'unoffical' releases of R3A... we are in business ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
hopefully soon, Windows Mobile 6.5 is coming out soon too right?
[XPERIA X1 General] bom1337:
im downloading the r3a at this moment with the new update service (v2.9.5.16) from germany...
[XPERIA X1 General] AaronUK:
I've just checked, nothing here in UK. It says that I already have the latest software (R2AA010).
[XPERIA X1 General] bom1337:
it's ready.

I've started the update service again and it now say that I've already R3AA007.
[General Topics] 0ge:
Sorry for the title...

Anyway, this is my last try. I've been looking very hard for a note-taking application that does what I want, which is quite a lot, I suppose. I've narrowed it down to this:

Support for text and handwritten notes

Ability to include a photograph, taken directly with the camera or from storage

Search function. If you can search handwriting, even better!

Format text

Pictures, ink and text should all be visible at the same time when looking at a note.

My top candidates are

PhatPad/PhatNotes - What I'm currently using. Ink and text are separated and when inserting a picture in text-mode places it as an icon and when inserting in ink-mode it's used as background for all pages

Evernote - Would be perfect, but you can't see your notes... Has all the features, but you need an internet connection to look at them (very ridicules). Don't know about releases prior to 3.x though?

I know this been asked before, but I just can't find any, and this is my last attempt. If people here doesn't know about one, then there really isn't one. Peace of mind is priceless, so I will sell my PDA to buy the app if I have to.

[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
I'm currently using my own taskbar icons, combined with WKTask to add some functionality.

Now I've heard about WisBar Advance, including its capability to change the taskbar (and softbuttons) skins. This is a feature that greatly appeals to me.

Who uses (or has used) this application and can give me some information on what to expect?

- What's the memory usage?

- CPU usage?

- Will it work with HTC's new start menu (TF3D2)

- Is it easy to configure?

I've already read that it won't work properly with panels, but that's np for me.

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] nixx-X1:
- What's the memory usage?

Don't have exact figures.. but it's not that much

- CPU usage?

I used to turn it off when playing divx files in Coreplayer.. does that tell you enough? :D again.. no exact figures

- Will it work with HTC's new start menu (TF3D2)

no idea :)

- Is it easy to configure?

Yes it is.. just make the right size bitmaps and it will work.

I did use it for a while but found it to give troubles when using panels.

When you're in a differrent panel and use an application and close it wisbar makes you return to your home panel again instead of the one you were in before opening that app.

This was a killer for me.. plus performance does suffer a little.

Also I had some issues to get all icons and fading "press button" colors to my liking (wanted to use bitmap for the fading which isn't possible)

All in all I did like the options.. but the program does need some tweaking for me to actually buy it ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
The last time I tried WisBar Advance, it didn't seem very compatible with TF3D. Not sure if any difference in the newer versions.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Hmm. Guess it's not what I need then, can't have something that's just aesthetic to slow my device down too much. :)

Thanks for the info!
[HTC Excalibur] zjsfire:
ok so used the WM 6.1 rom on the site that kavana released and everything works flawlessly except for on thing, when im in messanging the key board layout is weird. When i type i must click the number keys over and over until i get the letter i want :confused: which becomes quite annoying when you have a phone like the dash/Excalibur that has a full key board.

In note pad all i had to do is hit the alt and space to to get it right but i am unable to do this in any messaging on the phone any advice people?
[HTC Excalibur] zjsfire:
Ok i have it to the point where everything except messaging is working lol help me please

[General Questions and Answers] nisk916:
I have been looking for a program like I had on my old Q9c for my HTC Mogul. It was in the bluetooth tools preloaded on the phone. It would sync both Windows contacts and Calander from vista. It worked independent of activesync and outlook. I have been striking out so far on finding this I wanted to see if anyone out there may have this ported over, or a CAB like this. Thanks in advance!-noah
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
Good afternoon to the G1 community. I just purchased my G1 yesterday through Tmobile and I have a couple question.

I just came from using a wing so I am pretty savy with wmo rom flashing and whatnot, but android is completely new to me. Now, of course i want to get the most out of my device. I must say, out of the box it is by far the best device that I have used. Even so, i know that there is some stuff that i am missing.

I have done some reading here in the forum, and i do know how to search, but im not clear on a couple things. For starters, I have been reading about Rooting my device. Now to be totally honest with you, i've read through the Rooting Thread but only walked away with I would love to have autorotate for my screen! I mean, truely what are the benefits to rooting the phone? Will i loose access to the "market" or loose any other functionality of the phone as it is now? Future updates?

In a perfect world i'd love to have the auto rotate feature.... the ability to change the way the program list slides up to maybe sliding panel, and an onscreen keyboard (such as chompsms) when i select a line to type in (whether im in the browser or anyother program.)

I Love the phone as it is.. so all in all, what functionality would i gain, and what would i loose? besides warranty of course :)

I apologize, i realized i may have put this in the wrong section!
[G1 Android Development] AroundTheWorld:
1. Rooting you phone allows you to basically use it to the best of its capabilities. For example, you can change themes, boot image, auto rotate, multitouch, etc. You won't lose the market or any other functions after you root the phone. (To my knowledge, I see paid apps and such just fine on my phone.) You will continue to see future OTA updates, but if you download them, you will lose root access for your phone.

2. The "Cupcake" OTA release is planned for April (As has been discussed on the forums, may be true, may be false. TMobile is claiming its false, but Google controls the updates) If we ever recieve this update, then we will be able to get things such as an onscreen keyboard.

3. I'm not sure about changing the order of the way the apps are presented on the slide-up menu, but there are apps like ahome or dxtop that have alternate home styles, such as the "Iphone" style horizontal scrolling or multiple menu tabs.
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
Thanks, I do appreciate your prompt response!
[G1 Android Development] m4ntis:
if you want the best out of your phone root it.. but thats completely up to you.. when you root you'll be able to get the latest builds from JF anyway soo you'll never be out on whats new.. if anything you'll be a couple steps ahead of regular g1 users at all times
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
Just to verify.... The market is still available for apps after rooting.. Now I will loose root if I download from the market or just the "OTA" updates for the phone?

Also, i was going through the instructions for the process and got to the point where you upgrade to the latest build. So, i assume RC33 is US Tmo vs RC8 being for UK. What is ADP1.1? So is my choice between ADP1.1 and RC33?
