Just got the one in post eight from eBay UK. It is a great quality unit and does not vibrate, much better than my last which had a bendy arm.
[Touch HD Accessories] Fallen Spartan:
Ordered this under your recommendation on post#8 and got it a few days back. Very impressed so far. Sticks well and holds firm to glass. HD fits well into holder, and all buttons and ports are clearly accessible. Tray can easily removed and re-attached to the arm. Arm is easily bent and adjusted at the two joints. Once set to your required angle, it will not loosen or bend on its own.

Hi!

I am wondering if there's a way to change the time until the poweroff.exe is run when pressing and holding the power-button. Haven't been able to find anything about this on google, only how to re-assign the utility that is executed in the end.

Anyone have any ideas? Hardcoded? ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
Good question. I asked 1 1/2 years ago if anyone knew how to disable that yes/no popup when you press the power button. I don't want it, I've never accidentally hit the power button for several seconds yet.

Interesting that you can change the entire shutdown program that is executed - that would solve my problem if I could find a good replacement. Do you have any good links on that?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] smuppy:
Hi!

After reading a bit more on the subject I dont think that reassigning the exec'd app applies to Athenas... You can switch the file into some other "shutdown-app" though by switching \windows\poweroffwarning.exe.

Thats what I know so far. Google XDA for "long press change power" (without quotes) and you'll find a few posts on the matter.

Still no clue if its even possible to lower the time for the long keypress... :-(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cyberjak:
yes i've just read your post and while i'm searching for the answer at moment i can tell you this much button assignments and time out periods are usually a function of the registry. so what you both were looking for is going to be a registry key. now whether it's a modify an existing key or create a key that it recognises is yet to be seen so either start researching the registry or keep eye's open as i'm still searching...

New: found this thread which i think is a better option then trying to modify the power buttons defualt timeout's and suggests that really if you have a diffrent power manager for shutting down etc.etc. that's better then use their binary

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] smuppy:
Hmm... Not really what I was looking for. I dont want to replace the PowerOffWarning.exe, I just want to shorten the time for it to start. I just mailed a friend of mine, works at MS. Will get back with the answer.

[XPERIA X1 General] slash_5150:
if it really gets announced on may 28 hopefully it gets released end of the yr when my contract ends. then ill hv another phone to consider aside from Idou. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] aksx1:
wow.. i am waiting for idou and x2..
[XPERIA X1 General] dogans:
I'm very sceptical..

Sony Ericsson is losing a lot of money and the X1 wasn't really a bestseller :/
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
saw this and made a thread a while back.

its the annoucement on the 28th of may, dont think any phones will be released on that date.

they are sure to show the x2 and idou (these are near definate) + some other phones / phone related stuff
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
oh god.. I spent tons of money on my X1 already.

I sure hope the X2 has big improvements..

eg. Casing, AMOLED sceen <- WOOO lol, nvidia tegra?, improved cpu speed, HD video recording, 5mp camera, RAM is quite good, but more wouldn't hurt ;). Last but not least, better speakers!

yeah, quite a wishlist there lol
[XPERIA X1 General] £thereal:
WOOW ITS NICE TO HERE FROM NEW SERIES OF XPERIA AFTER THE FUSS ABOUT SONY'S MISTAKE (i realy didn't belived it myself) but i'am

pretty sure that it wont be availble till 4'th quarter of the 2010 , i waited for x1 about 8 months to be released and bought it the day it released in uk. if anyone has seen any image leaked please post its still good to know how the phone looks like ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I do not believe it. It would be good, but I don't think they will make the announcement so soon.
[XPERIA X1 General] dogans:
Aino, Yari and Satio (Idou) was released today.

[XPERIA X1 General] slash_5150:
i read on esato forums that theres one more unannounced model. could be the new xperia...

dunno when but i definitely got my eye on Satio to replace my X1 come end of the yr. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] WhyBe:
The X1 is lacking on the software side, not hardware. How is coming out with a new X2 going to solve the X1 deficiencies? We don't even get proper updates to the X1. :(

I hope SE sits on the X2 for a while and get it right instead of rushing out another unfinished phone like they did with X1. IOW, hold the X2 until WM7 hits.
[XPERIA X1 General] Imdking:
Fark WM! I say go S60, and see some success come back to Sony Ericsson.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
LMFAO !!!!!!

WinMo >>> all other mobile OSs.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Not only is WinMo better, but Xperia was the first phone that SE made that didn't have a crappy average joe loser interface.

Seriously their phones are like using phones from 2005 and earlier.

Xperia is their window to advancement.
[XPERIA X1 General] sms2000:
WinMob is much better then Nokia's Symbian (SimByan?) and Android and Linux Mobile and BREW. It's so easy to make applications for WM...

But more important I know excatly what a desperate feature I need in X2!

It's just a little hole in the battery cover to make SoftResets without removing the cover!

I'm thinking to drill a hole in X1 for myself.

Hi Everybody,

is there a way to prevent picture dithering in TF3D on the Diamond2?

I have very nice looking background pictures, but TF3D dithers them very strong, so they look terrible.

I know, that WM 6.1 only supports 65k colors, but the same pictures look very good, when I look at them with a picture viewer on the Diamond2, but not so in TF3D as a background image.

Does anybody know how to turn this behavior off or how to prepare the images right, so that they look as great as with a dedicated picture viewer?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
Similar problem with the contacts pictures. What started out as a nice sharp image ends up as a blurred mess when TF3D's finished with it. Any hints on improving this would be welcome.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tatsch:
Contact Pictures:

Don't start within the contact. Start with the picture album, use there the menu to add to the contact. Works better. And sharp.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1CEP:
Have you taken you contact pics using your TD2 camera in contact picture mode? mine come out perfectly!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
Thanks, guys, I'll try both. I don't tend to use "contact pic" mode with the camera, 'cos I don't know in advance it's going to be a contact picture, if you see what i mean!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loadstone007:
You have to choose the picture from the contacts. Add a favorite contact, and from there add a picture. This results in a very sharp image.

Adding an image through Outlook and syncing it results in a blurry image. Have no idea why. This device has plenty of bugs.

I used it as my primary navigation on my N95 8GB and currently use it on my Diamond2. Works great. They are working on a version so you can download maps offline.

When you turn off the phone option, it will turn on again if its done within 5mins, but it wont turn back on if you leave it off for lets say 30mins. You need to soft reset it for the phone signal to be enabled again.

Is this a common prob with the BA and is there anyway to fix it, Im using wm6. Also enabling the wifi conn takes quite a few attempts after a soft reset.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jilaxzone:
Hi,

for Wifi, I'm also experiencing the same thing when activate wifi via comm manager.

I thought it may be the ROM that is unstable or have some bugs. I'm myself using WM 6.1 made by xplode.

May be you can try to activate wifi via Start->Settings->Connections->Wifi

If I activate wifi via Start->Settings and so on, I didnt need to do soft reset, the wifi just run fine. Try it. Hope it helps

Why can my inbox only contain 25 SMS at the maximum?

Is there any way to increase this as my Sent Items has everything i've ever sent!
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
are you sure that the 25 texts aren't from your sim (sim cards can usually store 25 texts). The HD can store a 'limitless' amount of texts (it continues to store it on the ROM, so as long as you have free space, it will continue to keep storing them...we're talking bout thousands of texts). Otherwise I'm not aware of a setting which limits the number of inbox texts on the HD. Does it erase the oldest text when u get a new one, or just not store the new one? Also, can you make sure you're looking at the right inbox?
[Touch HD General] icystark:
Nop, your in box can contain a limitless number of sms (right now I have almost 200 sms).

When you go to messages you have a limit to 25 displayable sms in a single conversation (i think the system roughly associate every message from a contact to the same conversation).

When you go beyond this limit of 25 sms, on the top (before the older message displayed) will appear a link saying older that will access you to the older 25 messages page. The only strange thing I noted is that sometimes is necessary to click many times to go to the others "page".

Anyway I don't know where are stored the message, but would be interesting in order to manage them in some other way.
[Touch HD General] D'rath:
25 is limit of sms displayed by TF3D: in inbox there isn't a limit (I have 1402 sms).

You can try HDTweak 0.54: Messages SMS/MMS -> 2.3 Classic View and in SMS tab choose "all"

Hi brothers and sisters,

im using O2 zinc with crumzz wm6.5 for around 1 month (with 3 or 4 hard resets). I all of sudden have my mobile continously vibrating with orange led always on, when the fones in power on. Is it a virus, OS problem or hardware problem ? I did not bang nor did the mobile have any rough falls before the problem started. After keeping my mobile off for some hours and then power on, the the vibration dont take place until a key is pressed or something. The led is always on orange. I tried hard reset (clearing storage). The vibration continues even while hard resetting and after.

Any solutions ?????????
[General Questions and Answers] warea:
Now i have a little improvement. The vibration happens only when connecting with the usb or charger. The led orange is fluctuating and led yellow is blinking from background.

I also re-installed the os. no difference.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
re-installed OS meaning flashed a different ROM? if so, it might be a battery issue.

if you didnt' switch a ROM.. you should try :)
[General Questions and Answers] warea:
i flashed the same rom. What could be the battery problem ? no problem with battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
can't exactly tell you what the problem is..

and i suggest you flash a different ROM to see if it still vibrates.. if it does, it's your device, if it doesn't, it's the ROM.

Dude this find is Sweet!!! Think this should be Stickied because it's simple, easy, and it works.

I will be making several different wallpaper CABs with this for my device so I can switch BG whenever. It would be sweet if there were a moile version so I wouldn't have to use my PC to make the files and CAB's Either way this is a 10 out of 10.

Note: In the program you have to go to 'Config' and set 'Profile Name' to 'Manila v2/v3 Default (No Compression)' or else it will not work.

Edit: One problem. The home Wallpaper is not changed even if I select Default wallpaper. Intresting. I will look in the other thread for an answer when I get back from camping.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] woelv:
yes, you have to set the (home screen) wallpaper separately, and you actually dont even have to set it for the tabs after installation - it just works, different from the touch hd (as far as i read this, i dont have one)

but thats fine for me, i wont change regularly, i am just glad to avoid that boring black background :)

Havent tried this yet. But it sounds sweet...

Just a few noob questions.

Does it require a cooked ROM ?

And can you uninstall the changes if it goes wrong?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] fBx:
There are no cooked roms for TD2 yet as there is no HardSPL available until today. So it is assumed that this works with official roms.

my rom is original and branding-free (and it worked flawlessly). there seemingly were issues using orange branded roms with touch hd.

this cab just replaces a few picture files, there is obviously no risk in it but losing these files, so you may want to backup them.

It's great to know that you're interested in MDA Compact V and I appreciate your choice of phone.
