Guys I’m having some issues with the wired head set.

I don’t know if with the implementation of the topaz ported version or what but is like if some noise cancelation is running or something

When I’m not speaking there is a lot of noice but when I speak the noise disappears

Any of yo having the issue, I’m goin to try with a original rom to see is is my head set or the rom but I would like to know I any of you notice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
More info....

We could probably be more helpful if you tell us what ROM you're using and when the issue started. If you haven't had an issue until you've flashed a certain ROM, then there's your answer. If the issue started without any changes whatsoever to your device, then that's a different story ;)

If it is ROM related, you really need to post this in that ROM's forum, so other users can let you know if they have the same issue with the same ROM.

hi guys

the rom that i actually have is 2.07 Gen. y WWE

Hi all!

I’ve got a big Problem with my Diamond :mad:

The combination of 2 small Problems making a very big one!

1. Problem)	Since a while I dont get any connection to the PC over the USB-Port. Charging and Headset are Working.

2. Problem)	I flashed a ROM that have a Problem with the RADIO – Now my Diamond isn’t starting anymore, its only vibrating.

I see no chance for me to flash another ROM!

Does anybody know where I can get a new motherboard?

It would be cool if someone has an idea for my situation or know where to buy parts!

Thanks for reading!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:
can you get it into boot mode....

if so you can flash another rom/radio

boot mode (Hold Volume down and back button, then press reset)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] themlee:
I can get it in the boot mode, but on the internal memory is the worng DIAMING.nbh and there is no chance over the USB-Port!

Thanks for the Idea!

Hello everywhere!

As you can read in the title, I need a program to switch between those two signals.

I´v got an internet flat, but the city i live in doesn´t has enough signal strength for 3G / UMTS, so i changed it back to GSM, with that the signal is much better to have phonecalls. But then i only have GPRS left for internet, so i need a program to change that easily. I once saw a communication manager which had this function, but never found it again. Can anybody help me?

Thx an advance,

Steffen

P.S. Sorry for my english! :-)

[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I've been hearing people in Europe are getting high end windows mobile professional devices and high end phones for free as long as they pay a very minimal contract (probably less than 50 american bucks).

Is this is true?

Over here in America we have to pay 900 dollars for our phone and over there you get a good contract and a freaking free Xperia? Are you ****!@# kidding me?

Like, seriously, in America if you want a free phone you get these POS:

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/free-phones.jsp

And also why does all the good phones get sold in the UK? The best windows mobile devices in the USA is Touch Pro 1 and iPhone and that is freaking subpar. Why is the UK getting good phones with good contracts like the N95, Xperia, Touch HD, etc!

I am freaking shocked!
[XPERIA X1 General] dekeijzer:
I got my experia for free with a 30 euro a month contract.

Allthough I added 10 euro a month internet and 5 euro a month for unlimited (1000) text messages.

Oh, and I got a second sim and phone (samsung touch something) with it that share the same contract.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
While what you say is true to some extent, most companies offer you a free phone with a contract if you have been a customer for the past few years. I got mine without a contract and paid 650 euros IIRC for the phone and 16gb micro sdhc. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] creamy:
My contract is £30.00pm for a free xperia (silver, black would have cost as it was the more popular at the time) unlimited internet, calls and txts.

This is all good aside from the fact that i'm now tied into the contract for 18months......this is the catch ;)

Infact i think most if not all providers have abolished the 12 month contract for any type of handset.

I also greased the wheels a little on the deal as i have been with the company for some years now and demanded a top end phone or i would leave, as soon as i requested my porting number they knew i was serious and put me through to customer retention who basically gave me everything i wanted to stay (i even milked them for a bluetooth earpiece and 8GB memory card)

I know many people who have done this to get a high end phone and succeeded.................hehe no shame :)

Creamy-Goodness
[XPERIA X1 General] rwholden:
but its worse in the US, since if you do get a phone on a contract here, not only do you have to pay to get the phone, you also have to sign up for a 24 month contract...

Deals are most certainly better in the EU...
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Ture. I guess it is the huge number fo providers that lead to this. Competition is good for the customer :D.
[XPERIA X1 General] Hallz:
In the UK, Dec08 I got a X1 Black, free on £35 (700mins, 250 txt, unlimited landline, 500mb internet) 18m contract. After 9 months you can also start to drop the monthly cost by £5 a month if you can live with lower bundled minutes/texts.
[XPERIA X1 General] exabart:
In The Netherlands, I got my Xperia X1 for EUR 35 / month with unlimited HSDPA internet (3.6 Mbps) and 350 mins / month, with a 24 month contract on the Vodafone network.
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
I got my phone with 100euros and a 45e/month contract with Bouygues.

It has unlimited calls on weekend and after 9, unlimited internet, and 3hrs included extra.

And poetryrocksalot you shouldn't complain...sure you get expensive contracts but you have really really cheap electronics in general, cheap cars, cheap gas and the list can go on.

I loved living in Houston :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
I had been with my company for a couple of years... they kept pestering me asking me if I wanted to upgrade... I kept telling them I was happy with my Kaiser/TyTN II and they finally offered me a free (black) X1 with 1000 texts, 600mins (any network, any time) and unlimited internet (in reality about 970 Mb) for £35 (so about $55ish) a month...

[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
The UK is seriously behind in terms of electronic devices. USB drives and memory there cost more than in Asia. I once saw a USB drive (forgot the size) last year going at nearly 80 pounds when i could get it for like 60 SGD back home. The US was ahead at the iphone and Gphone release dates, but most other phones are released earlier abroad as well.

Welcome to our corporatocracy - it's the most rotten form of this so-called "capitalism", literally based on megcorps dictating EVERYTHING for legislative and law enforcement bodies and getting away free with the most abhorrent market abuses.

This US "market" is completely rotten, corrupt and literally ONLY supports big corporations.

PS: we have no real competition, period.
[XPERIA X1 General] azkid82:
Europe and the US

Without going into detail...the US Mobility companies compared to the European counter parts have ENTIRELY different business models. These business models are initial decisions and factors used to create revenue for the respective corporations, be it Free Phones, but requiring a long term 2 Year commitment, or Free Phones by adding more monthly cost services without commitment. There are far too many factors that you and I don't understand as a consumer that goes on with phone pricing...
[XPERIA X1 General] michaelthemage:
Yeah, whatever! Fact is the 'free' phones you get with US Providers and we have only 2 major GSM anyways(!!!) the rest are obsolete crap like Sprint / Nextel, etc., those free phones are the bottom of crap! Nobody get any high-end or not even mid-end phone for free!

And another major factor when comparing prices/plans:

IMCOMING CALLS IN EUROPE ARE F R E E .... correct?!?!

No such thing in the U.S. of A.! We pay when the phone starts RINGING, no matter if incoming or outgoing!

So, yeah.... there is something not just smelling rotten...!:cool:
[XPERIA X1 General] audino:
Yes incoming is for free, but you dont get everytime a free phone, only if you pick a high package of a contract (per month>40€) you get a phone like x1 for free.

Tanke a llok here

http://www.mobilejoker.de/handys/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-steel-silver.htm

First value is the per month price and the second is the price for the phone with this 24 month contract... Above youre able to switch between providers...
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
I got my X1 for £96 on an 18 month £35/month contract (600mins/1000txt/unlim.web).

I wrangled a loyalty discount out of them to get tariff dropped by 30% to £24.50 a month.

TCO over the 18 months was originally £678 and I got it down to £537 with the discount. An earlier poster said that 18 month contracts were the new standard now and some contracts are being pushed for 24months (iPhone for example).

In the UK, we only pay for making calls. We don't pay to *receive* calls as that is the business model the main mobile providers decided to use when the market was still taking shape.

The networks use GSM900 (O2, Vodafone) or GSM1800 (3, Orange) and use EDGE, 3G or HSDPA to provide internet connectivity depending on signal and coverage.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
40 to 60 euros are a really good deal for a free phone u guys. I hope you guys know that....

For 80 US dollars per phone, Americans could rarely get good phones.

Take a look at iPhone, you have to pay like 200 for the phone and around 80 dollars a month and iphone is crap.

I got my xperia free for 27.50 a month (first 6 months 5 euro's rebate)

Caskback deals in UK

in the uk you can get a really expensive contract (£45-70p/m) and a free phone and then get cashback from the shop you bought your contract/phone from. sometimes this means it works out free:eek:! (or at least a couple of months 1/2 price line rental). dunno if you guys have this over in the USA

but being on pay as you go i got my phone off ebay :D

If your wondering how the shops can pay you back your money, i think they invest the money you pay from your contract, and then pay you back.

or instead of cashback, we can also get free "gifts" like laptops, PS3, Wii, and stuff like that
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
Holy sh*t thats real cheap. w/o contract mine was 800USD

[XPERIA X1 General] newwave19:
i got mine for £35 a month, but after i had it about a month or 2 i started experiences problems with the network that seemed as if my mic wasn't working, but this happened on 2 other phones i tested, and ONLY ever happened in my house. So after a month of arguing with them to find out what they were going to do about it, they finally decided to let me out of my contract. I was with them 3 months for that, now i'm sitting with a sim only deal (30 day contract) for £20 a month, 600 mins, 1200 texts and unlimited web
[XPERIA X1 General] Szadzik:
I am paying 56$ (currency converter used) and got my xperia free withan 18 months contract.
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
€37,50 for a 12month contract with T-Mobile Netherlands, 300-minute calls (+100 free), unlimited internet access within the country, but just 25 texts. I chose 25 because I don't use it often but rather call people.

A free phone is nice, but if you lose/break your phone without insurance (that you pay your network for) you'll still keep paying for your contract. And that's always a scary thought to me. Last night for instance I dropped my phone by accident, it gave me a fright but my X1 survived it perfectly (probably thanks to the noreve sleeve that at that moment justified it's overpriced hide)

In the USA, your phone is within contract in the entire USA right and not just individual state? Because that really is a big drawback here in the EU, our countries are relatively small and if you want to go on a trip to a sunnier setting or want to go your neighbouring countries, you're calling/texting/using internet outside of your contract. So that's extra costs on top of your normal bill!

Because the USA is so huge and you probably don't have to go abroad that often for holidays/trips, I'd see that as a plus.

I really hope someday, a telephone contract is something that works on a global scale without change. But I guess that's only going to happen when the entire planet unites under one flag, in other words when the aliens arrive :D

Hey Brussel, are you listening? Let all EU networks act as one so I don't friggin double my bill when I go to Berlin!
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Wow that makes me so mad....

Xperia costs me 900 dollars total. and I have to pay for a seperate contract.

Xpera costs you nothing, and yet you have to pay for such a low fee: 55 USD...

You guys are practically getting everything free. If you think about it, even if your phone breaks, all you need to do is get another contract with another free phone! So you are still better off than us Americans!

In America, if you pay 55 USD per month, and get a free phone, chances are that the best phone you can get are the crappiest phones you can get.

Szadzik, I have a question... perhaps your phone is free because you are sticking with vodaphone with a continuous (5+ year) commitment. Possibly vodophone made a good offer to you so that you do not switch company/carrier. Is this the case?
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
This will quite likely be a factor. Mobile network operators have discretion to apply a discount to either the handset or the tariff if you're a "loyal" customer with more than 1 consecutive contract. I'm on my 4th consecutive contract with O2 and have a 30% discount on my tariff.
[XPERIA X1 General] szlevi:
Well, everyoone else is bettedr off compared to you - you are with the most epxensive yet ****tiest provider in America (AT&T, that is) - what do you expect then?

Your 3G is a joke compared to any EU service but even to Sprint 3G - and you pay almost twice as much as I pay with TMO USA right now (had enough of AT&T's false billing ripoffs)...

...I seriously think that anyone sticking with this disgusting, utter PoS AT&T, he deserves to be @ss-rammed by their bills every month.
[XPERIA X1 General] lyriquidperfection:
I got my xperia x1 for free on uk vodafone and I get 600 minutes to any network, unlimited texts, unlimited internet and only £40 per month!

Forgot to mention, I get 3G and HSDPA data rates too! :-)
[XPERIA X1 General] jhendra:
That's not true. I'm using my X1i with ATT 3G service and I'm quiet happy with it. I can't imagine using EDGE on the X1 and paying TMO for $25/m (or $35/unlimited text) where you can get 3G coverage with ATT MEdia Net for $15/month ($10/m if you have an unlimited family text plan).

I bought it off craigslist brand new for $400 here in the DC area. The X1i has become cheaper and cheaper now. Forget the X1a. The 850 Mhz UMTS band is a joke! All you need is 1900Mhz and you're all set!
[XPERIA X1 General] uiflorin:
It's a different business model in Europe...

I'm from Romania and over here everything is more expensive than in the rest of Europe, recovering from comunism country, corruption and such...you get the idea. Despite all this, the mobile communication market is booming. For every 10 euros spent on calls you get 1euro credit (points), which can be redeemed for paying the bill, getting a new phone, accessories, etc. The phones are subsidized in a percentage depending on the value, low end phones are for free with a new contract, while the smartphones valued for 300+ euros can be subsidized with 50-100euros with a new contract. But the important thing is: the phone (device) is not tied to a compulsory contract or plan. The customer can choose whatever it wants, new contract or not, subsidized phone or not, whatever plan it wants. I got a new Xperia from a small vendor for 385euros (the phone was not subsidized by any carrier at the time) and I upgraded the plan I used for 5 years (a cheap 3 euros plan with 50 minutes included, I don't really talk on the phone, is more like an emergency device) to a 200 minutes calls inside the network and 60 minutes outside network, 500MB of data traffic in the internet and free wap traffic on the carrier portal, all for 10euros/month. With the Xperia I realized the 500MB/month is quite enough for browsing, email, even youtube, because I don't live my life online, i only need the internet mobile when I'm away from home or office, usually during commute.

Before saying that europeans get everything for free, let me tell you some things about mobile telephony in Romania.

A little explanation here is required. In the US the calls are charged by distance, local calls usually are free or a large number (1000+) of minutes are included in the plan. The same concept worked also in Romania until the mobile telephony got ready to the public. Now the concept is changed to local calls inside your carrier network and long distance calls outside the network (applies also for land line telephony). There is no unlimited calls inside the network, a minute call can cost from 2cents to 20 cents, depending on the plan (the more minutes included you get, the more expensive is the plan, and cheaper are the minutes extra). This is the reason people are careful in choosing the carrier, because is cheaper to have the same carrier with family and close friends. That is why you can call your next door neighbor as long distance call and you can talk with your mom like local call even tough she's 400 miles away. There is also the possibility to use prepaid cards, especially useful for kids, students away from home, or any person that uses the phone seldom enough for not justifying a plan and monthly payment. SO, there is no free lunch, but a snack from time to time. We don't spend that much on telephony, but electronics are the cheapest in the US.

Free phone? Why is the fee so cheap? Why do you get free data plan? 3G costs more than 19 pounds or euroes in the U.S..... this has got to be a joke
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
I think it's because each European network has invested a lot of resources into upgrading the network to 3G/HSDPA. They can offer 3G as standard across the board.

I also think poetry is on a tariff called "Simplicity" which offers low cost billing with 30 days notice. The unlimited data is likely to be a bolt-on for £7.50 a month.

correct but the bolt on (which cost £7.50) comes free (u get a choice of one free bolt on).

you dont get a phone, just contract (good for people like me who have a x1 and dont need a upgrade).
