Hey all,

I've been tossing up for weeks between the two, and it's driving me nuts.

Any suggestions, comments or recommendations?

To give you some background, my main quarrels are:

Touch HD

- No hardware keyboard

- Much lower video quality

Xperia

- Much smaller screen (on this point, can anyone tell me whether or not the size difference makes a significant difference to web browsing? although the resolution is the same, the actual physical display makes a difference, so you would have to zoom in anyway on the xperia)

- Resistive touchscreen

Any thoughts?

There are MANY threads already that go into great detail about this. Use the search function on the top menu line and let google do the searching. Search for 'hd vs x1' or something like that, and you'll have a multitude of xda forums to look through. Good luck!

Use the searchoption...

Touch HD Vs Xperia

I've been doing so, for a very long time now. I've owned a tytn and a kaiser, for which I sampled a great range of roms - the flashing and troubleshooting of which I learned on my own through extensive research, reading and experimentation.

I've never asked any stupid questions, nor have I asked anything which I didn't feel was a necessary question for me to move forward.

I've done google search upon google search upon google search, and nothing seems to really give me a down to earth, practical answer. I'm at the point where I'm rereading reviews, forum posts and video reviews.

Sure there may be many answers to many questions, but I still haven't found the answer I want presented in a clear, concise manner (and no, "answer I want" doesn't mean "what I want to hear", but rather "hitting the nail on the head").

I've been tossing up for a long time - and this involves a whole heap of research.

Any help from people who've been using either or both for a decent amount of time would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, so you say you have done your research. Hasn't it occurred to you that there are some threads where people have said they own both at some stage or still have both for example xmoo on this thread

Why not PM these people if your aren't getting your answer and ask them nicely why they exchanged one for the other or why they are going back to one etc etc etc
[Touch HD General] charbz:
What exactly did you type into your search, because that's the first time I've seen that thread.

My apologies for the inconvenience, although I can genuinely say that I've put a lot of effort into finding infomation in general... I ain't noob posting (intentionally anyway).
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Just typed in a mixture of different search options i.e. Xperia X1, Touch HD, Touch HD Vs Xperia X1, hd vs x1, etc etc etc

Not sure which one it popped up in! :(

May also be due to date thread started and when you did your searches
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
using AND between words when one search makes sure it only give results where both search terms are included
[Touch HD General] charbz:
Thanks for your advice and timely responses guys.

I pm'd the guy with Touch HD issues and am waiting on a reply now - good idea. I'm going to keep doing some reading, and if anything out of the ordinary pops up, I'll report back here, just so that this thread is at least somewhat constructive. :)
[Touch HD General] Nightstalker79:
On the touch HD, I can type at a moderate pace with the on screen keyboard, also the T9 give input suggestions so texting is pretty fast.

To be honest I hate the camera on the HD, it just is slow and not worth a damn dime(either the quality is really bad in low light conditions or it so slow that I missed a lot of special moments, kids just don't stand still if you know what I mean), would be much better if they implement a good and fast 3.2 megapixels sensor than a slow 5 megapixels one.

I had a couple of hours with an xperia till I finally decided that I didn't like it at all. Its all personal perceptions, but the panels interface felt really sluggish, its one of the very first batch so it could have been fixed by now. It didn't have the accelerometer so you have to flip out the keyboard to get it to landscape mode and no games like resco bubles or teeter.

The experia didn't came with opera but instead uses the sluggisch internet explorer, I thoroughly hated the internet experience, it was slow and pages didn't load properly if they load at all. The screen was wide but so small you need a magnefying glass to read it.

The keyboard felt cramp and didn't give any good feedback, I would not suggest using it for a prolongue period of time on it or you might develop RSI in your thumbs.

I really wanted to like it cause I had good experience with SE, it looks stylish and has a slide out keyboard that is slightedly tilted, but the small screen is a big turn off, never regretted getting the HD over the xperia.
[Touch HD General] PRAP:
Both have resistive touch screens

The difference is that the one in xperia is "recessed"

I prefer the Touch HD because of the bigger screen.

It is great to the web (here the size is very important:)), videos, etc...

The video quality is also very good! (after converting using a program in this forum)

I would choose the Touch HD.

For me the physical keyboard isn't so important...

And the Xperia doesn't have accelerometer.

Welcome to the wonderful hospitality of XDA developers, were you must never voice your "subjective opinions" or ask what individuals may "deem" as a daft question. Course the Irony is in the time it takes to moan an moan about a question, it could have been answered in half the time with a poilite

"oh by the way i found this by searching the forums, might save you a bit of time next time hay, an save duplicate threads! bye for now!"

but anyway

Touch HD, i wouldnt jump up an down about video quality being bad, with the last few Dutty ROMs 2.4-2.6 ive been able to play back xvids and H264 videos without the need for converting them with perfect playback, the interface is smooth and very plesent to use, the keyboard is fine to use, if you have big fingers then turn it on its side. The only thing on this device that is trully crap is the camera, its very slow (all be it slightly better on latest Dutty ROMS) quality is good, but the time from click to megabytes is way too long

I found the X1 to be quite shoddy on the build quality front, the keyboard which i thought was going to be amazing from the reviews wasnt that good but by no means bad, overall, i got the X1, didnt like it, flogged it off on Ebay then used that money to by an HD and ive never looked back.
[Touch HD General] charbz:
Wow! No regrets whatsoever in asking the question! Thanks for the great feedback guys, this is exactly what i've been looking for! Touch hd it is! I can't accept my webbrowsing on a screen which isn't practical, and i guess that's what my main problem was now that i think back to it.

Thanks again everyone!
[Touch HD General] brucewilsonpa:
Good decision IMHO! I owned the Xperia X1a for 2 months and although I highly commend its build quality, great screen, and even like the panels (although never found much use for them), I concluded the screen is just too small for me -- I now have the THD and love it! I believe the key parameters for such a decision (and when the Touch Pro 2 vs Touch Diamond 2 come out this will arise again) are: do I need a keyboard, which is more important - room on the screen (size of the things on it) or size in my pocket ---- THD suits me very well.

I keep being asked what's the best software to use to get into developing for winmo (as if I'd know ;) )

But I did notice that www.dreamspark.com is giving away visual studio

Alas as I'm not a student (any more) I can't get a version, (although I'm waiting for them to do a charity deal on it) but MS are giving away free copies of loads of software for students..

Of interest here is Visual Studio professional, which is key to developing for winmo, and with the SE panels SDK you can code away to your hearts content.

there's also an entire list of what is available for developing here

The problem is that while connected to wifi i CANNOT use PIe or Opera for web browsing.

[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
Hi guys

quick question

has anybody managed to get the X1 work with streaming sites that link to files placed on youku? it doesnt seem to work for me at all ... the same is true for sports streaming. Plus, I downloaded the TVu winmobile player but it doesnt seem to work at all. If I try to follow a tvu link I get an error message, if I just start tvu and select a channel I can see it buffering, but once it reaches 100% nothings happens.

any ideas? are there winmobile versions of other known streaming apps like sopcast or tv ants?

thanks for you help guys

Does anyone have TomTom working as the default navigator???

Your screen is stuck in the top right corner. Try to see if there's some dirt there (maybe stuck between display and casing).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Either thay or the digitizer is gone... I believe the Hermes was dropped and the digitizer damaged at that point. Thats why it was sold. It has a point being repeatedly pressed. You'd have to replace the LCD and digitizer together.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
This issue has been covered many times before - though it is probably buried amongst lots of screen alignment and digitizer threads.

Applications close

Start Menu appears

Depending on whether you are in portrait or landscape.

It may be the screen is getting pressed, and this was thought to be the cause when the problem was first seen. However I do not believe it's a simple case of cleaning under the bezel. Erratic digitizer behaviour is now generally attributed to the digitizer connections, the lcd to d'pad flex cable or poor chip contacts on the d'pad board

Ok, I've read all the comments about similar issues in this wonderful forum, but none of them seem to be similar to my issue (and I've tried plenty of fixes).

Bit of Background:

I've recently got an O2 Exec from a friend (swapped for 2 blu-rays no less) and have swapped the sim for my BT To Go sim card.

WIFI was working fine on my home hub when I first set it up on Wednesday. It's standard WEP encryption with a standard code.

I've been tinkering (and this is probably bringing up warning signs, I know) and added the SDHC card CABs (SDHC.CAB and SDHC.777 at first, but then after reading some forum topics, I uninstalled these using Remove Programs and installed psidoc_sdhc instead).

Since then the WIFI works in that it connects and shows in the top bar that it is connected, but IE doesn't work, just tells me the WIFI timed out.

Installed Hitchhiker to better manage the WIFI and that connects fine and shows status as connected.

So far I've tried:

Removing all SDHC drivers

Removing all WIFI settings and re-adding

Installing Hitchhiker

Tearing out hair.

But none of these work.

Any ideas/suggestions from the forum?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pblive:
Self Diagnostics.

Right, I swallowed my fear of having to reset everything and install all my software again and then hard resetted.

Worked fine after this.

BUT...re-installed psidoc CAB and this is where it all went wrong again. So it must have been this to blame.

Anyway, removed the program and it still doesn't work, even after soft reset, so it looks like it'll be a hard reset again.

Anyone got any SDHC CABs that do work and don't muck up my internet? :)
