[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchan78:
I'd much rather they improved the CPU speed than add a crappy accelerometer into the X1/X2/X3... the only times I've wanted to rotate the screen sideways is when I've wanted to use the keyboard... in which case, sliding the keyboard out rotates the screen, so why do I need an accelerometer?

As SE said, this is supposed to be a premium business phone, not a toy, I doubt they had games and such in mind. If it has it, so be it, but I couldn't care less if they had an accelerometer in it.

Let's see faster CPUs in these devices. Can you imagine, HTC is releasing NEW phones with the SAME CPU as the existing phones. What joke is that? One of the BIGGEST problems with these phones is the CPU/lag. Everyone complaints about how the Panels don't slide very fast or don't rotate smoothly, etc... or how the screen doesn't rotate instantly when you slide out the keyboard... these issues can pretty much ALL be solved with a faster CPU (and faster RAM, if that becomes a bottleneck eventually).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaadoul:
i think i have seen something like that, you can build your phone like you build a Desktop PC, that would be nice but hell expensive!

plus you get one thing, expandable phone :D, now i don't want accelerometer but who knows next month?

Faster CPU doesn't solve the problem, i have

NEVER

seen my phone running @ 100% CPU Utilization! the whole problem is still (and will still be) the Video drivers.

nothing consumes much processsor not even VOIP softphones.

games always require a good graphics adapters but not much CPU.

RAM is quite good.

btw, HTC has only Engineered the board, they didn't put the specs of the X1 nor built it. all done by SE which got the diagrams from HTC (as per a guy i know in HTC).

X1 is a great phone, Accelerometer would be nice (along with much more features missing like Video Out and USB Host... etc) but who really cares.

i have an HD now, i'm happy with that one. although it doesn't have a TV Out or USB Host. but it has an accelerometer which is nice (but not much)

HD Doesn't have a Sliding KB, so browsing without rotating the screen is hell, also sometimes when i'm in a car my HD Goes crazy and rotates alot (nice roads we have here :P)

anyways, faster CPU, More RAM... etc are just an addon cost for me i think. i don't want to pay more for something that is unneccessary!

once i have a software that requires more than 528MHz i will start looking for other phones which will have more processing speed.

btw, i have one Server that Runs our corporates website (700 MHz PIII)

the phone is just an assistant, it can never replace your laptop, nor your desktop.

X1 is a great device, HTC are making really quality devices. if you think this is not good, get a Nokia Express or iPhone, WM is for People who love to do things their own way, not the manafacturer way ;)

cheers mates
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecmobility:
I have been using now for a while a BB Storm with the accelerometer. I can say that several times during a day the screen turn in landscape (or even worse: 180 degrees) with no apparent reason. I would rather stay with no accelerometer but, maybe, an icon or software button to turn on landscape.

If I were SE I would skip the accelerometer and I would rather invest on more battery power, internal memory and optimization of multitasking to get the phone stable and fast. If you use it in a business environment (like I do) you can really be resource demanding.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
WTF? Really? Mine is at 100% most of the time I'm using it :confused:.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randolph2000:
using accelorometer is somewhat useful esp for eye candy media players. :P esp in games too.. but when it comes to everyday work you wont use it. :P

i prefer a good ang sturdy xperia :P so that this phone could last long.

*scratch scratch*
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmonsushi:
In my opinion, X1 is aimed at more professional/business type of consumers rather than teenagers (even though many teenagers liked it and bought it). Suposedly, these people focus more on digital organizer functions rather than games. As mentioned by some members, sliding the keyboard tells the device that you are using it in landscape (through some machnisim related to magnetism) and therefore having an accelerometer is unnecessory, and without it will cut cost. However, more users (like the one who started this thread) demands a accelerometer - perhaps for gaming purposes. Therefore X2 is likely to include it just to match the preference of consumers.

Who would buy X2 just because there's an accelerometer?

- Those who didn't buy X1 because there isn't an accelerometer.

But out of curiousity, how many games on windows mobile with WVGA resolution actually require an accelerometer? If you REAALLLY want a phone with accelerometer so that you can play games that need it, get an Iphone. (not advertising, but X1 isn't so much for gaming in my opinion... best game on X1 would be Xtrakt)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
I wouldn't buy it just for accelerometer but 1 thing I would buy it would be a 1 gigahertz cpu with Windows Mobile 6.1....THAT'S ALL I NEED!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmonsushi:
And what's sort of battery life are you expecting?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
Frankly, accelerometer isn't something that I would need so much. I have it back with the N95, but I can't say I miss it with X1. Maybe it's better with it, but it isn't a big deal at all. I can always slide the keyboard out, if I need landscape, and usually in that case I need the keyboard too. As for games, I don't play much on my X1.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitzie:
An accelerometer is definitely useful for HDWobblehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=522179

An absolute must for the business user:)

My life has not been the same since installing it. I know that you can use it without an accelerometer, but it's just not the same.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akay_7:
htc's touch pro which was almost identical to the xperia in terms of specs, only sold better because it wasn't marketed as a luxury device and didnt carry the insane price tag the xperia carried.

and a g-sensor isnt really useful to the market sony ericsson targeted with this device.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DatDereX1:
unlocked touch pro was almost as expensive as x1. just sayin'
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euroman28:
Firstly I payed 300 Euro for device which isn't pricy compaired to other devices.

two things about X1.

1) The screen I wish it had been closer to the Iphone-standard. By that I mean more touch sensetive and less plastic like.

2) the fatness of the phone. I wich they had made a slimer X1 with a bigger screen. Like the Nokia N97.

That would have been great.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
What do you expect? Resistive screens are designed for pressure and for precise applications such as productivity software and photoshop-like applications.

Also, you can make the Xperia more sensitive, so now that you know, go look it up and tweak your phone

And even more also, X1 is slimmer than N97. What kind of bias is this?

Xperia X1 110.5 x 52.6 x 17 mm

Nokia N97 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm

Xperia is praised for being the slimmest slider phone. The only thin bar phone worth mentioning is the Touch Diamond but obviously that phone is below standards and it doesn't have a keyboard.

So what kind of bias is this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sms2000:
If you have a g-sensor you can disable it. You have no g-sensor you cannot enable it.

A pity.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Having the phone freeze and resetting it is less reliable than using a power Hungry CPU.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enseeess:
Might be a nice feature, but I just set up the right button so I can switch to Landscape mode quickly. Easier than tapping the screen, which doesn't work or have that option in some applications.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
same! acceleromoter would just be annoying
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizztje:
It should be possible to add a digital compass and an accelerometer to the X1. G1 is using Asahi's 6-axis AK8976A chip that has both. We just need to make a very small daughter board with this chip and connect it to the I2C bus (that supports multiple devices on the same bus), which should be available on the keyboard connector of the X1. Problem is getting the pinout of that connector, and writing the drivers, and of course reserving a lot of time for this project :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipporek:
Huh? The accelerometer issue is still being discussed? Well, think the answer should be obvious now, right?

SE avoided adding an accelerometer in the X1 so that... they could include it in the X2 and sell that!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] colonel:
sorry if this will upset some Android devotees, but does any one know if there are there any roms or projects to put WinMo that run on the magic.

I love the hardware, and it would be great to be able to run some of my WinMo programs and sync. with Outlook on it.

i used to use WM. why you would ever WANT to put that dog on a phone amazes me. so slow. M$ needed to get off their butts about 5 yrs ago!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Joost39:
LOL - same here - why???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] w3rw01f:
that have been discussed here already
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Actually I don't think that WinMo supports Capacitive touchscreens! correct me if I'm wrong...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xray84:
There are a plenty of reasons for windows mobile and against android. But I think there are 2 or 3 major problems with porting it to the magic.

First, I think getting the drivers for the touchscreen is almost impossible

Second, wimo does not support the magic resolution of 480*320

Third, Finding someone who is able to create a wimo rom from scratch and making a stable Version for an unsupported device

Android is ok, but it still feels like a big public beta software test ;)

I did play around with my friend HTC TOUCH HD with winmob os.............no thanks,it feels..............old,:eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MPerki:
Just to add my tuppence worth......

I've been using WM for 4 years through Wizard to Touch+ to Diamond and to be honest I was sick of it. I have flash roms, designed dialler screens and spent alot of time with Pointui.

IMHO Android is very good and must run a close second to IPhone. The slick UI is what we have all been waiting for with WM and it has never happened.

I was considering a Touch HD/ IPhone / HTC Magic. In the end the integration with google and the good interface made me plump with the Magic and I am very very very happy.

I am a business user and leisure user and it really is a breath of fresh air to have a phone that actually works.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] colonel:
thanks for the considered response

I was not really asking for "which is better", just the straight question about whether there is a project. It seems not.

I didn't realise the magic has a capacitive screen. thats going to be fun, my magic is coming today or tomorrow.

I have a diamond 2 as well, so i will be able to compare, hopefully 6.5 soon to android.

I don't think the screen resolution is any problem, but your third point is valid.

Google really need to get outlook sync. out of the bat. Apparently androids sold in asia have exchange sync already as they are "not google branded". hopefully google will pull its finger out soon!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bunny0007:
Why??

Android where never ment to be used with outlook sync and exchange.

Exchange might be good to have, but i think outlook sync are pointless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] colonel:
every device that claims to be a pda needs to work with the current most popular contacts and calendar desktop software

winmo, palm, iphone and s60 do
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bunny0007:
Yep but also smartphones have moved away from the old pda type as we know as palm and other devics.

Since most devices now are phones or in other ways seem to connect wireless, the defintion of pda moved to be static sync devices where you need to ged hold on you sync station, to now being making sync ota.

I will never being missing the cable sync.

[HTC Excalibur] nakiko:
Is there a way to use MSN, AOL, Yahoo messagers using the unlimited messaging plan? The play says it allows it, but the Dash (6.1 upgraded) only wants to do it over data (wifi or data plan). I know normal phones have the messager apps that work over text plan.

Thank You.
[HTC Excalibur] nakiko:
Sorry, another question

For some reason I am unable to send MMS to email addresses. The keyboard seems locked to numbers. Is there any way around this or another MMS client I can use for sending?

Edit:

Found a work around, you can select an email address from your contacts and send that way. Odd.
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
In response to your first question, I think those apps are very operator specific because in most cases the operator has to have a gateway for managing SMS to the IM server.

There is (I think in the Wiki) a version of a messenger utility that uses SMS for T-Mobile USA but presumably the phone number to send the messages to is hard-coded so unless you can change it, it's probably fairly useless.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eranyanay:
My diamond has original ISR Orange rom.

I managed to backup the four parts raw files and the spl.

I want to make sure a few things.

Does it mean the radio has been backed up as well? Or the change of radio version is seperated from rom upgrading and spl?

I noticed that in here its claimed that spl file is .nbh, while the guide I followed in one of the posts here, of how to make full rom dump and spl, the code line using itsutils was

pmemdump.exe 0xa8000000 524288 SPLdumped.nb

My file is .nb, does it matter?

After I'll cook this raw files into a flashable rom, does it mean that in the future, when I'll restore to that rom

And return to this SPL, which i also made a backup of it,

I'll still have my warrenty?

Does the details appearing in the Settings > Device information will be completely the same?

Sorry for the newbie questions, Its new to me and Not every single question has a full answer somewhere :)

I bought on the market the Android7AVIPlayer. I copy on the phone the movies i want to watch, in avi format, the program see the movie but doesn't start them. The weight of these files are about 750 mb each one and on the sd card there is a lot of free space. There is also a lot of free spece on the main memory of the phone. Is there someone that has the same problem? Is there a freeware to convert the files to a different format so to have an easylier access to them??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Draxter:
The Android7 team is one big mess. They make paid apps that don't work, a document reader, a PDF reader, a flash viewer, etc...

You'll have to convert your avi to .mp4 with a PC app, I use "Any Video Converter".

[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Welcome back snapvue, old friend. :) I'm also using it on Thaihugo's shift age of reason ROM.

EDIT

After installing snapvue AND THEN unticking all items but snapvue in settings>today>items, I had performance issues (freezes).

So I would recommend NOT changing the settings>today>items checkboxes.

EDIT

I had the same problem after installing snapvue alone. I am positive this problem is down to an individual hardware defect in my Shift. Shame because I love the Snapvue screen.
[Shift Development] mdkia:
done it too Flanimal, but seems not to play havoc with performances
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Mdkia, did you mean to type that it DOES play havoc with performance?

I ask because since installing Snapvue and unticking the other settings>today>items I have had performance issues (freezes).

What's more, uninstalling Snapvue and re-ticking the settings>today>items does not bring back the old today screen as it was.

So I'll change my previous post to recommend NOT unticking the settings>today>items after installing snapvue.
[Shift Development] Lyvia:
I just reboot and havent any performance problem. Like snapvue as today item too;)

Someone install it on a HTC TouchPro 2 ? *g*
[Shift Development] mdkia:
It does NOT (for me) Flanimal
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
That's good to know. I think my Shift has a minor hardware problem on the WM, evident by the occasional corrupt 'chequered' screen freeze. This snapvue cab seems to excersise my Shift's hardware defect so I'll have to continue without my favourite today screem of Snapvue for the time being.

Hello there,

after finally repairing my nikes screen, i upgraded to one of those new wm6.5 roms (the ones from NemanjaLO ). Everything works great, except one problem with typing on my 16-key nike: if i type a letter, and remove it before it gets unmarked, it will appear again as soon as i try to continue typing! other people confirmed this issue, however we seemed to be ignored / no one had a solution.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] slim:
I have a Mda Vario III, and I have never unlocked it, neither have I ever modified the rom or boot loader.

The problem I am having is that I have forgotten the password, and I can't get in.

I can see a timer on the screen just on top of the box where I type my password in, the timer starts from 9hr 6min.

I have tried to hard reset the Vario but no success, I know I am doing it right because I have done it before (Press and hold both soft keys and with the stylus press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone ) but this time it refuses to hard reset instead the Vario III just restarts.

I can go into bootloader mode without any problems. If I could find a non modified rom for T-Mobile UK MDA Vario III would I be able to install it in bootloader mode? Even though I can't seem to find the original rom on the net.

I thought I'll just wait for the timer to reach zero and then see what happens, but the timer stops when it goes to battery save mode.

Anyone knows how I may put this device back to factory default?
