[XPERIA X1 General] amitagrawal:
Hi,

I am on contract with O2 in the UK and whenever I connect to mobile web, the connection is either Edge or GPRS. within the same city at work i get Edge and at home I get GPRS... Wondering if I can control the connection and specify which one to use..

I dont know much about which one is faster. Can someone please explain which is better and if there is a way to get the best connection rather than a random one...

I use Fring and although the clarity is super for international calls it does break a lot and I loose the voice...

thanks a lot...

[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
You really want HSDPA or 3G. If you aren't seeing H or 3G on your phone anywhere you might want to give O2 a call to get a new SIM. Edge and GPRS are way slow.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
if your sim is a few years old then you will need to get a new one for HSDPA etc.. also make sure that HSDPA is enabled on you phone in the settings or by using advanced config...
[XPERIA X1 General] amitagrawal:
that answers it.. i need to call O2 to give me a new sim.... thanks for all your replies guys. much appreciated...
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
No probs... same thing happened with mine... even in the Middle of London I couldnt get H... now I get it in many places I didnt know I could... its awesome...!!

[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
lol.. i've never clicked it and i have no idea how to get it back.. but just throwing something into the air.. maybe you should search the registry regarding "USB to PC" and see if there's a parameter key which you can change.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuanlong:
I was wondering if it is possible to downgrade back to the original panel manager, and if anyone has the installer for it? I recently downloaded and installed the R3A panel manager, and since then, my X1 has been freezing having errors much more often.

Can anyone help me out here?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
It should be possible .. panelmanager only occupies one folder in program files .. replacing all the files should work. Rename the old dir to avoid deleting active EXE.

However I don't have the old files anymore.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-Styla:
I want to do the same.

Where can I find the old Panel Manager?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMNZR:
Sign me up for this as well! Frustrating to get a "we're sorry" all the time.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
as far as im aware you just uninstall the updated pannel manager and all will go back to normal.

i too dislike the updated version.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMNZR:
You just uninstall it? Doesn't that remove the x-panel functionality?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostis60:
pm me a mail so i can send you the old panel manager (folder). You only have to terminate the posses and then replace the folder.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
sorry guys, but what's exactly wrong with the new one? I have no problem with mine and it actually works faster and more fluently.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMNZR:
After installing the new one, my phone gives me the "we're sorry" screen, and continues "a problem has occurred with PanelContainer.exe"

Ends up with the phone freezing completely, and a soft-reset is required.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuanlong:
Yes, if you unistall the panel manager, the panel interface is gone too.

The problem is, it seems like every time I push the panel button, the thing freezes, or it comes up with a slew of errors, as about 3 programs crash.

Honestly, who put that stupid 'upgrade' here? It's hardly stable at all. What is it, an alpha version? If it were up to me, I'd remove it from the site, because it's more trouble than it's worth, and has nearly made my X1 unusable. I'm considering a hard reset to get things back to normal.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostis60:
Probably you don't read before installing something. Go here and read: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=498934

You have to install ActiveX Deployment first...

lol... look junior... this thing works perfect. do as guy above said. damn... You should be more grateful for having so much extra stuff for free.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMNZR:
Anyway, at least I installed ActiveX_Deployment_signed.CAB before the new panelmanager. The attitude ain't helping, "senior".
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
:D

ok

the thing is that he should READ MORE before moaning. come on. why so many people cannot live without spoonfeeding????????? why should we agree to read his rants??
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuanlong:
I DID install the ActiveX deployment, thank you very much.

It does not work 'perfect', just because one person out of many doesnt have constant problems with it.

If you dont have something helpful to contribute to the topic, dont bother replying. What exactly is it that we're supposed to be reading. I got it from this topic here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=498934

The first post has nothing but a download link, and the 2nd has about 2 lines saying that it's been tested (hard to believe) and urges people to upgrade in caps lock no less.

We're not a bunch of idiots who cant read. And we're not moaning, but if shell out a good deal of money for a smart phone, and you install some update that screws up half of the features, you'd want some answers too.

install it in device then soft reset ....

stock R2a panel manager ......:D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x1Kofi:
I think if this worked then people wouldnt be looking for the R2A panel manager.

I had same problesm as many getting the new R3A cabs to work, and as a result had to just hard reset the phone, after this the phone has been working pretty stable. The Media 2 Panel didnt install, and to be honest until i can easily make playlists it crap to me.

Another thing, I dont know what it is about those that have been on the forum a long time compared to us noobs. Theres no need to talk down to other people, just because a person has made 3 posts, doesnt make them an idiot.

This whole R3A stuff thats come out, probably works fine for those experienced in developing etc... but for those that arent it is difficult for them to get working, like myself. And although this a forum is for the hardcore developers, and not noobs like me, please understand that many like myself really appreciate the work you do here.

If werent for this place, I'd have sent the phone back already and waited for the Idou. So keep it up and be kind to us noobs

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostis60:
The second post has to lines ,but it also says that you have ti install ActiveX deployment FIRST. I was just trying to help

Also noone told you to do this update. Those cabs are not SE official updates and there are beta too. It is up to you to take the risk...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuanlong:
I did install the ActiveX thing. I read and understood the post just fine.

Part of the problem is, I had no idea if it was official or not, if it was a beta, or anything. Had I known, I likely would not have installed it, or at least not been surprised when I had problems. If it's beta, or if it's unofficial, it should that instead of "DEFINITIVELY WORTH UPGRADING!!!" Then all of us who read the post as you all keep saying to, would know. It's obviously misleading, I bet a lot of people thought they were getting a stable piece of software.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykeChester:
It's Stable on me...:cool: obiously, if you came here at the XDA to learn you would know that it came from a leak R3A ROM...but if you came here just to get some free stuff...think again...think hard.

It's stable on my R2A Generic UK ROM.

Might it be that people with non-UK ROM's have problems?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amnesia180:
I think the OP is being slightly childish about all of this.

The cab isn't perfect, I'm running an UK X1 and I am having problems with the new panel manager.

The camera update is fine, but the panel manager isn't and yes, I've installed it properly. It could be linked to 3rd party software (such as SPB).

Hopefully, with our patience and the great guys that are spending their time putting this together, we will have working updates soon.

Stop being stubborn and offer support!

Been having the problem with the new panal manager even reset the phone to an old backup at one point. I have recently got the R3A panal manger to work by uninstalling the xperia tweak program. Hope this helps
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanthai:
May be it have to be cooked in?

I use Touch-IT 5 and found that the new R3A Panel Manager is very responsive and less freezing my phone.

Try some custom ROMs and find out yourself.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
i dont have any probs. I copied and pasted the new files into the panel manager folder.

maybe its the cab install version thats causing probs?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Childish? Are you kidding me? He just want to restore to a working panel manager. Once you uninstall it, it's gone. And btw, I followed the steps, install activeX and then panel manger. It does not work. Then I followed another step to tell you to uninstall, then install SDK certs and then activeX and then panel manager.

IT DOES NOT WORK

But why is he childish, he obviously wants the installation for the old one.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xuanlong:
I'm not just a noob here for free stuff. I'm an intelligent person, I read everything before downloading and installing it, and I reread it before posting for help. All of these things you say that I should have read or known ARE NOT THERE. Learning and finding the solution is the reason why I have posted this.

But how am I supposed to learn anything here? I read the full topic before downloading, and end up unknowingly downloading some shady beta. I post a respectful request for a solution, and everybody tells me it works fine, and to stop whining. I apologize that I cant psychically predict the future or know information that is not posted anywhere. Is that what you mean by "remember that you are at the XDA...everythings possible"? Because so far, this has turned out to be one of the least helpful, and most unpleasant communities I have ever encountered.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
XuanLong, there is nothing you can do about it, as I can't do anything either.

That's why I had Sprite Backup preinstalled and prebacked up before proceeding. I reverted back with no problem.

Whether you have money or not, I suggest you purchase the full version of Sprite Backup now. It even works after a ROM a change, atleast official ROM changes.

Also someone posted a R2A Panel Manager for you, have you tried it?

i too downloaded and installed the new r3a panel and having problems with it. not the one that is mentioned.

i downloaded it bec i really like how it retains your preferred panel when you reset the phone and not always go to the today screen. however after installing r3a the quick menu on the task bar has vanished. even after the "show quick menu" on the task bar setting is selected. personally for me this quick menu thing is very important.

i think ill miss the feature that id like the most in r3a. i hope they fix this soon.

thanks a lot man!!

you made me happy ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
I just thought I'd echo the sentiments in this thread... the R3A panel manager makes my phone completely unusable. It slows things down, freezes every now and then, and completely locks up if you use the phone for more than a few minutes.

I have tried it in many ways, on generic UK rom, baked in to various custom roms, and added to various custom roms. All of them show the same symptoms, although some not as extremely as others.

So it is far from being bug free for everyone, that much is sure.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wandry:
Please send me original Panel Manager

I have install R3A panel manager which said to be better and faster but it turned out to be the opposite, the panel manager is slower and less atractive than the original plus the task manager is lost, i install it according to the step (install the ActiveX_development.CAB first). I try to uninstall the new panel manager but it make me lost my original panel manager also T_T. Please help me, send me original panel manager installer or the files folder with the instruction because I dont understand how to replace it. Please help for anyone that know how to fix my problem.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuri_2k:
Thanks for the R2a.cab, it fixed almost everything right up! There is one annoyance - Today panel has the Windows 6.1 image instead of the X1 Panel...

Could anyone upload the original Xperia Today Home Panel Images, preferably the Silver Version. I'v looked all over the net and cant find the original Panel images, I really don't want to Hard Reset.

Thanks guys!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-Styla:
The problem about the new panel manager is that it doesn't kill the process when you leave a panel, so if you don't use the task manager the device will slow down after a while. The old panel manager really closed the panel when you leaved it. Everything else is better on the new panel manager, but till they fix this problem I will use the old one.

Thanks for the cab. Do I have to uninstall the old panel manager frist?

Hello everybody,

as you can see in the attached photo, there are strange blurs appearing on my photos and on the display when taking these photos!

Is the lens broken?

Could you give me an advice?

Thx, Sebastian
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
if you mean those black spots-- then I think your lens is dirty!!!!

Remove the back panel and try to clean the lens with a soft cloth!!
[Touch HD General] Broetchen:
Hey Kristaps,

the lens is clean... I cleaned it several times!
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
The lens is probably broken.
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
but looking at the pict it seems like something is on the lens... maybe its behind the first protecive layer! is this problem with you from the start or just now!! and one of those black thingies in your pict. looks like a leg from a bug :d
[Touch HD General] Broetchen:
It appeared some weeks ago - at the beginning, there were no bug legs...
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
you were probably in some harsh conditions(dust...) with your HD and something got in beetween the lens and glass!!

warranty service!! :D
[Touch HD General] Rozenthal:
If it got in under normal conditions, then it means it can get out as well.

I suggest you remove the cover and try blowing out the dust / hair particles by blowing the camera box with a hand-powered blower (you know, the rubber egg-shaped blowers with a pointer at the top).

Do NOT use compressed air cans or your mouth.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jewstie:
When one clicks a message in TouchFlo/Manilla de Contacts-smstab opens, i would like it too just start the good old sms app from windows. Mostly because auto-capital letters at the beginning of a sentence are supported, but also because i've just gotten used to it and its just easier to use. Anyway, I would guess that it is some registrychange. Am I right? Something like defaultsmsapp or something. I looked around with regedit but couldn't find anything. Anyone got an idea?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LilCrys:
Hi,

I just got my HTC Touch Pro about a month ago. So, far I love it and it's ability to customize. But there is one thing I cannot seem to fix. The temperature for my city on the weather tab is always about 15-20° colder than the actual temp. The 2 closest cities to me are right on. When I click on more and it takes me to the accuweather page it's correct there. Why wouldn't it show the same temp at the webpage? This is quite annoying, I'd love to use the weather tab, but as of right now it's useless.

Thanks for any help you can provide. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] johnfoam:
I need to ask the obvious question - For the city that is problematic, did you check to make sure that you've got it set to celsius or fahrenheit (whichever you use)?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] allthatinny:
i sec that
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jayt2008:
mine is set to celsius and my city is way off..its ridiculas. cant seem to find a fix.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LilCrys:
Of course. If that was the problem the other cities wouldn't be right. ;)

I do understand the need to ask such remedial questions, but this time it's not the case. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] variablex:
I believe weather pulls from yahoo weather or weather.com, i forget. Check there to see if the temperature is the same. If it is, it's a server error.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LilCrys:
Pretty sure it'S accuweather, and it's accurate. So, how do I fix?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] johnfoam:
Sorry, I thought you could set it individually for each location. Nonetheless, my next question - is this a custom city that you added with the weather database editor program, or is it one of the preloaded stock cities? If it's a stock city, then I have no idea. If it's a custom city, then all I can say is that I had issues where the temp was off and the time was messed up, but only on my custom cities (i.e. it would show the wrong temp and a moon in the middle of the day). Doesn't help much, but figured I'd share to maybe get you down the right path.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LilCrys:
Well bummer. It is one of the programed cities. I tried adding it manually into the registry and it didn't make a difference. Thanks for trying though. If anyone else has any thoughts I'd be glad to hear em.

...or even a suggestion for a decent weather program I can use in it's stead. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dust2Dust:
This is right, so besides from only checking temp-settings in the panelsettings you might also check your regional settings, just to be completely sure.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LilCrys:
Nope Regional settings doesn't offer a C/F option. Not to mention the temp conversion doesn't match up.
