One info to the thing with the My documents and so on and why they aren't German:

I was wondering why some names in German ROMs stay English. So I asked somebody from T-Mobile my grandfather knows very well. He showed me a Charmer. The ROM on it was version 1.0 and everything was German. Including Program files, My Documents and so on. And then he flashed a aku 3 ROM to the phone. Everything was still German. Then he flashed a English aku 3 and back to the German again. Then some folders were English. They don't know why but they know the problem exists. And they can't fix it.

I write that here to tell you that there may is no fix. But maybe you'll find one.

Hope that was a good information for this forum.

Hello.

in Programme, multimedia folder newsms link is in english (in version2).

have a nice day
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] swampy395:
Hi mate Thanks

The folders can be renamed in the boot.rgu:D that's easy. BUT if you do so then only 100% german software will run on your device:confused:

people that build software test it with emulator and that has the english named folders, So there software would look for "say my documents" not the german name.

So i'm gona leave it like emulator;) then people can use all software's:D

I think the multi lang kitchen is finnished now it's about 98% german just some extras like net config and ietools that there's no german versions of :(

best regards

swampy395
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ChrBeck:
Tell me which extras. I have some time tomorow. Maybe I can translate some for you.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] swampy395:
hi mate

net config and ietools ??
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ChrBeck:
Can you give me links to the English versions? Google doesn't find any usefull things. I'll try to translate them then.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] swampy395:
Hi mate there in the OEM of the kitchen I posted. Thay don't even have english *.mui's, Don't think for 2 programs it's worth the bother? But what would New_sms b in ger?

regards

swampy395
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ramrod:
Hello.

New SMS is "Neue SMS" in german.

i think it´s not so bad that´s 2 programms are in English.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] swampy395:
Thanks mate

regards

swampy395 Kitchen?;)
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ramrod:
a kitchen would be great. :D
[Touch HD General] JLowe:
Does anybody knows the direct link in Startmenu to "All settings"?

The link is also seen on the settings Tab (left softkey).

Perhaps someone knows the link from the registry.
[Touch HD General] crajee:
Since settings is not a "Folder" in real sense no shortcut possible.

You can however try the control.exe from utils.zip in this post and create a shortcut for it.

Control.exe
[Touch HD General] JLowe:
That's not true because in Duttys Rom I remember there was a shortcut in startmenu.
[Touch HD General] Dubh Llas:
Hi JLowe, you are correct about duttys rom. The shortcut on the programs page has a registry entry.

When I can get to my pc I'll post the contents of the keys for the entry. May take a day or so, unfortunately I don't have any screen capture soft on my HD.

Regards, D.
[Touch HD General] Dubh Llas:
Hi again, just checked the link and it leads to the TF3D settings tab not the all settings page. I'll still post the reg info though as this may prove useful.

Regards, D.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ellork:
I’m so sick of this phone, that I’ll change to Nokia after only 4 month.

My issues:

Keyboard sucks: They fixed it 3 times and after two weeks other keys started with malfunctions…

No reset button, but it hangs all the time…

Lousy quality of the shell… the sound issue and a terrible handsfree mode…

I had many phones from htc and o2, but this is the worst. It’s called a business phone, but all it is in business is a big obstacle. I need 5 min for a sms due to the keyboard problems. It’s faster without the qwerty keys. I don't even answer to emails anymore.

Plus all the time I invested for configuration, looking on this site for solutions, installing a new update and start from the beginning…

Therefore there is no choice than Good bye.

I guess symbian is not supported here. Xda-developers is a great community with really friendly people that try to help. Without this site I probably would have changed after 1 week already… Therefore thank you very much and good luck with your EXPERIAnce...
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
sad to see a fellow member of the X1 community leave us.

enjoy your new phone!
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
wow, are you sure you bought a new x1 or a second hand x1 that the previous owner bashed? lol this is hilarious :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Tobi As:
xperia has a reset button
[XPERIA X1 General] Ellork:
Hi Tobi As,

thanks for the farewell...

Reset button,

are you refering to big one,the one you relly have to press hard? So hard that it's advisable to put the phone on the floor and jump onto it. Well, than it has one.

But seriously if it really hangs your only option is the battery...
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
I think the X1 is an acquired taste :)

I love my phone and once you tweak it and fiddle with it, it works like a charm.

I even love the keyboard, which I did find usefull. Granted, it's not as fast as the P1 keyboard....but a good feature none the less.

Sorry to see you go dude!

PS. The hard reset button is under the cover. You have to take out your stylus and once you take it out you should see a hole on that stylus shaft. There's the hard reset button. Which "really big one" are you referring to?
[XPERIA X1 General] MattiasSod:
The reset button is placed beside the battery, its the small hole down at the right. Remove the back-shell and use the stylus to reset.
[XPERIA X1 General] marlitolimpin:
i would like to note that your experience, really is one of a kind and an isolated case. being an individual who had the opportunity to use symbian-based cellular phones, i have to admit the windows mobile have strengths that symbian doesn't have. i wont consider nokia's symbian also solid when we come to talk about their OS. hangs and all, all OS in the market have their share. all phones have their own issues. at the moment i have x1, i do am planning to check iPhone to become my future business phone. application wise, you have a lot of choices if you do have an iPhone. what makes me sad is the sluggishness of microsoft to innovate and please their market. at the moment apple has undeniable advantage in terms of marketability and straightforwardness of their gadget - all inclusive (iPhone, iPod, Macbook, etc.)

i hope you enjoy your experience with Symbian. good luck, buddy.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ellork:
Well, I agree, all the systems might have two sides... Nevertheless, the symbian users I know, don't complain about hanging at all. And the N97 sounds really like a x1 destroyer... Anyway, if anyone would like to have a feedback, drop me a mail. I guess after 2 or 3 weeks I can tell you wheter I regret it or not.

My user profile:

business, lots of emails (keyboard is a must be), pictures, movies, conference calls (handsfree), skype, bluetooth, internet, navigation

So long, thanks for your support and feedback...
[XPERIA X1 General] Seafal:
It really is a phone which is not perfect out of the box... apart from that i can only say that, if configured correctly, the phone fits perfectly to your user profile, as mine is the same. i tried many phones before, even the iphone and xperia is still the best of them all.
[XPERIA X1 General] alexnessie:
Actually, I'm on my second x1 now after my first got ran over by a car (don't even ask!) and the keyboard on it is utterly atrocious.

I've not dropped it or anything, it's always in a hard case in my pocket, and yet most of the keys don't actually input anything after I press them, they have to be pressed harder into the phone, so if you are trying to type fast and move between keys after hearing the click, it's not actually inputting anything, also the spacebar is crap too, it'll constantly do double or triple spaces with only one press!
[XPERIA X1 General] Sapa13:
X1 is my first windows mobile phone, and till now i was "symbian freak", and only thing that i could say is i dont know why i didn't transfer sooner on windows...yes, there is some problems, but i never had better business phone...
[XPERIA X1 General] rogatsby:
I agree that the X1 is an awesome business phone. If you are looking for something super simple and low maintenance, the X1 is not for you, nor are any of the other Winmo smartphones. I see so many people who don't know how to customize, setup and properly use smartphones, and claim they are crap.

The iphone sort of combines the best of both worlds, with smartphone functions and simplicity of use. But IMO, the iphone is too simple and is not a good business phone. It doesn't multitask, there is no physical keyboard, you can't attach documents to email, etc. It's great fun, though, with cool games and apps. But there is no way that an iphone can match the X1 if you need a phone for serious business. If you know how to properly set up the X1, it has adequate speed, is stable and functions great. It is also a beautiful phone with great audio quality (from earphones, not speakers), great Internet connectivity and decent camera.
[XPERIA X1 General] rothariger:
my x1 has all the problemas that Ellork has enumerated plus cracks in the case... in a couple of days im sending to support...
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
The Xperia is the best HTC Device, except for the new ones that are coming out Rhodium and Topaz. But I got to tell you, my phone used to hang 20 times a week. Then it hung 15 times a week, and then 10 times a week. And now? Guess what it hangs no more than 5 times a month (but that's because I am always testing new software).

If you switch to Symbian DO NOT GET A DAMN N97, I say sacrifice the stereo speaker qualities for the Samsung OMNIA HD. The omnia has much funner and better features but its only loss I would really say is just the speakers.
[XPERIA X1 General] friend'scatdied:
The OmniaHD has better hardware, but Samsung is never going to truly back the phone. The company has so many damn high-profile phones in their portfolio coming out every month that their post-release support for any of them is nearly non-existent. Besides the fact that the OmniaHD lacks a hardware keyboard, and once you get bored of TouchWiz you won't have anything else to fall back on.

I am confident I have tried the best that WinMo has to offer in the XPERIA as well, but I'm on the fence too. I love how pretty and powerful it is when tweaked out, but at the same time it'll never reach perfection while perfect stability and ease-of-use are always tempting.
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
hit the road Jack...

well... I think completely opposite, but maybe I'm just another lucky guy who never have problems with x1 and I am more than happy with how it is build, how it looks. with mobile shell 3 I love it even more.

ok.

bye now.
[XPERIA X1 General] rp-x1:
I did

the exact opposite.

The firmware issues I had with the E90, Nokia's 'Flagship' business phone, i.e. the firmware breaking the bluetooth connectivity, the reboot every day, the speaker cutting in and out, the screen starting to go after 6 months, the random wiping of the memory card...

I could go on!

I have mucho respect for the Xperia, it actually works, and haven't needed to reboot in 5 weeks!
[XPERIA X1 General] nguyenkhanhhoang:
As I used to post before. We can clean the hard keyboard once after 02 days and that will make it works better. For me, after doing like this about 02 months, my X1's keyboard works very well and i just need clean it once a week. Try it and feedback to everyone
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I am really sorry, but you are wrong.

Keyboard is perfectly fine on my X1.

There is a reset button. Plus, my phone never hangs. It needs tweaking in the beginning, but once you get the best of it, it is perfect.

I never had any cracks, scratches or w/e.

The speaker is terrible. The headphones are pretty good though.

Never had any issues with handsfree.....
[XPERIA X1 General] alexnessie:
My keyboard isn't dirty, it's perfectly clean, it's just really, really crap.

My first X1 was fine, but this one? Not so much :(
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
High profile phone? I don't think so.... Samsung OMNIA HD is the only 1.
[XPERIA X1 General] friend'scatdied:
Okay. I'll mail you one of my kidneys if they haven't stopped support of the INNOV8 since the OmniaHD came out, and if they won't forget about the OmniaHD entirely once the i7500 gets out the door (even if the i7500 isn't high-profile, according to your estimations). ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] toucam:
I love this phone but seriously thinking of getting a Nokia E71 and never use WM again.

It's a great phone but everything is so damn slow, text typing with the keyboard is a real pain now, words take ages to appear, the same goes for opening a text or an email.

I have to press really hard on the space bar and M, "," keys now to get it registered.

Everything on the Xperia just runs slow in general, I don't think there's anything wrong with my phone, I used WM mobiles long enough (since the day of good old O2 XDA) to know how to tweak it a little bit but it's still too slow for my liking. Unless I'm missing something here, can anyone suggest some tweaks which can improve responsiveness of this phone?

I was playing with my friend's iPhone the other day and how on earth Apple manage to get that thing run so responsive and smooth? I will never get an iPhone myself but just wondering.

I'm running itje's Touch-IT v7 - Final Build 21043.1.6.2.

This community is the best thing has ever happened to WM platform and it would be very very sad indeed if I had to leave it :(
[XPERIA X1 General] nguyenkhanhhoang:
Yes, you can see it very clean on surface but there is frequently dust under keys. You should blow it or something like this. I'm doing like this and absolutely briliant result.:D
[XPERIA X1 General] WhyBe:
What's up with all of these non-working X1's??? Are you guys buying 2nd hand lemons from eBay?

There's no denying the slowness of WM compared to iPhone, but I was messing with the Storm and Omnia a few days ago, and iPhone beats them in responsiveness also. You can actually type fast on the X1 keyboard, it just lags at displaying the characters but it is catching all of them... I tried turning off word suggestion and auto complete, but that did not make a difference. What's weird is that I don't remember the X1 echoing characters so slow when I first bought it (R1a ROM).
[XPERIA X1 General] human75:
i thing i am also not really happy.my front panelbuttons are dead sometimes.i mean green answer buttons,red anwer button,panel button,ok button even touch pad is getting dead.you have to reset ten times it turns normal for 3 or 4 day and it gets dead again.now i am sending my x1 to service and i am thinking how am i gonna explain them this problem.because it happens randomly.i am getting pissed off.i am really disappointed about x1.
[XPERIA X1 General] alexnessie:
No, there's no dust, it's very clearly a quality issue. Other than the keyboard I love my X1 though :)

Nope, both of mine have been brand new straight from O2.
[XPERIA X1 General] sms2000:
i bought X1i for my wife as a birthday gift for her (and a learning tool for me, silently).

Now after about 10 weeks or so usage she has forgot completely her previous love - those dumb Nokia. My wife worked in Orange for about a year as a returning phone technician and she was of very good opinion of Nokia.

As talking about myself I do know those Microsoft products are long way from ideal and will never be. But Symbian? Boo.... Android? LinuxMobile?

I want all the spectra of Windows applications. Tons and tons of programs for everything you need and more.

I still have to "not find" anything I need when playing with my wife's phone.

I have a few friends with N95 and newer Nokia dumbphones and the only reason they stay with Nokia because it's free for them.

Desperately waiting for my birthday. 10 weeks more... I want X2.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
I have to say, I think the keyboard is the weakest feature of the X1.

The problem is I had a HTC Wizard before and despite being slow, I could type a LOT faster on it due to the keyboard being excellent. The X1 keyboard sadly suffered, like the screen has, with the X1 being too narrow. It meant they crammed the keys too close together. Likewise I think the poor tactile feedback/response is due to trying to keep the phone that 1mm thinner.

Basically, they did what Sony always do. Sacrifice functionality in favor of looks.

The "lag" when typing however is purely a software problem. If you have more than a few saved messages, particularly if you leave the default conversation style messaging turned on, it lags horribly. That is why I always delete old messages and switch it back to old-style messaging with Xperia Tweak. I imagine it could be problematic with e-mail though which I do not use as I was having problems getting IMAP to search the correct directory on the server.

Despite all that, I do like my X1. It could be better, I would have preferring it being a little wider for a less cramped keyboard. But I get that many users cannot handle such a wide phone in their pocket so they wanted to keep the X1 as small as a normal phone with the functionality of a PDA.

Thing is though, if you need a better keyboard then there are plenty of other HTC phones to choose from and there certainly is no guarantee the N97 is any better, unless you got to test it beforehand.

I was sorely tempted by the iPhone but the lack of support for playing FLAC files, you have to pay $99 to write applications for it, lower resolution screen (although I discovered that probably is a none-issue as the pixels are so small on the X1 so you don't really get the benefit for web browsing, although it does look nice even without antialiasing turned on which is cool), poor camera (I never understand the complaints about the X1 camera, it seems pretty good to me and in fact handles indoor lighting a lot better than my Canon), lack of keyboard (although again it sounds like the touchscreen is so good it works better than the X1 keyboard), the list goes on.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
The keyboard is almost perfect. The only thing it lacks is a dedicated numbers row. It is nice to type with and mine has not given me any hard time so far.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
LOL

Orelsi

I would say opposite:

The numbers ROW is less usable than a current setup.

All the people working with numbers like in offices

use numbers set in this order, not in row...
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
LOL

Are you saying that a dedicated numbers row is LESS useful than the current setup? The current setup with its BIG ASS BLUE KEY that you have to press

EVERY.

SINGLE.

TIME.

when you use the numbers?

People who use the numpad on PC KEYBOARDS do that, because they don't have to press the BIG ASS BLUE KEY. Half the people don't use the numpad at all. Fail logic :).

Imagine a similar (slightly bigger of course) layout to the one we have now + a dedicated numbers row. :cool:
[XPERIA X1 General] hofo_mofo:
I just bought this phone (new) during my recent trip to Singapore (May 31st, from the Sony Style Singapore store at Paragon Mall)

Yeah it is different...yeah it has it's drawbacks - having to open the battery compartment to get access to the memory card slot and to hit the reset button (hole).

The keyboard takes does take require some patience, but before you know it you will be pounding out messages.

I am coming from a Qtek S200 (which died (phone wise) kinda while in Singapore) so this machine is lightning fast, and when you flash to R3A, well I don't know if I am the only one, but man this device moves like it did a kilo of speed mixed with crack! Furthermore as I just returned to Ottawa now (where my Outlook is), for a week and a bit I was referring back to my Prophet to get info and such and man everytime I turn on that screen i want to vomit...this device's screen blows it out of the water, and my brother's iPhone as well.

Yeah I wish it was a bordlerless screen (and other things), however I've never experienced that before, so I can't miss what I never had - nor can I say the same thing about an accelerometer. But I do wish for a wider screen, but hey, I will take what was dealt to me.

Whether or not the X2's specs are true or not that is left to be seen - OLED [Organic Light Emitting Diodes] are still bloody expensive to mass produce, and the quality has yet to be perfected. Also with the rumoured specs indicating the highest possible tiers for the components, that gets my spidey sense tingling, furthermore if you think the X1 came out expensive, if indeed those specs are the truth...bwhahaha, yeah be prepared to sell a family member into slavery.

But yeah, it is a shame to see a person leave the EXPERIAnce, but alas it is ultimately what you want, if this was not it then so be it eh.

Good luck in your hunt!
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Orelsi

What? What "every single time"?

If you want to use some bigger numbers just LOCK the numbers with blue button.

But you say a dedicated, alone numbers...

Well, no, personally row is worse as for me.

I like current setup....
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Well that's your personal preference :). Most of the time though you have to type numbers AND letters so you have to hold the blue key every time you need to input a number. For example this: bfji2i45bh435 45h3h45b :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kerm:
i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.

Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution

thanks

kerim
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?

If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs?? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kerm:
its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.

Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kerm:
any ideas, i need to get this working urgently
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away :eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dcbrowne:
Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcuppens:
had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kerm:
doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jurar:
I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.

I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.
