My xperia is in bad shape right now. Chipped chrome, chipped plastic, chipped D-pad, 1 or 2 microscopic, scratches on the real screen, battery cover is scratched.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikado:
oh wow. how long have you had it for..?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
I've had it for 6 months
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
I would buy a new one just to be sure that everything is ok, but hey it is your decision :).

Mine came with 2 gigs, but I bought an 8 gig card on the spot and I'm planing to upgrade to a 16 gig one soon.

I have had mine for 7 and a half months and have no cracks, no chipped chrome or D-Pad. Only some scratches near the USB, but that is my fault haha. I don't have a scratched back cover. Interestingly I have never used a case or any protection except the screen protector that I bought recently :).

MMS works just fine with EDGE connection. I had Nokia running EDGE and was able to MMS.

If Fido used UMTS 850/1900 band then you'll get the 3G speed on your X1i since it does support tri-band HSDPA 900/1900/2100 (but you'll probably get less 3G coverage in the rural/suburb area).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaosstorm:
I would say buy an Touch pro 2 ... way better then xperia in every way.. no cracks and other stuff.. altho touch pro 2 is pretty big.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
The Touch Pro 2 is NOT repeat NOT better than the X1. Check this out, because I hate to type the same things again and again and again:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikado:
Appreciate all your input guys :) everything helps on my decision!

Judging by pics alone the xperia x1 is so much more attractive then the Touch pro 2! It's design is mostly the reason I want this phone so much. Before this phone though, I wanted the iPhone, but it turns out that adding a data plan to it was mandatory and it put me in lost hope until i found out about the experia :o

Seeing as how there is still a chance I might not buy it from the guy (since he hasnt answered me yet, i hope he hasn't sold it), I agree that I would LOVE to get one completely new... but don't have that extra 2 bills.

-Do you guys know if vendors will have it for around $600CAD (which is $512 USD dollars for you guys)?

-I have a couple of vendors/shops here i'll visit soon that sell unlocked phones, but their prices vary a lot (cheap to expensive). I've heard a few months ago the cheapest for the x1 was around $710CAD ($606 for you guys). If this is the case, should I spend the extra $200 to buy it new?

-Since it has been a lot months since I heard this cheapest price from the vendor, do you think the price should have dropped? In whatever currency, what do you think is the average buying price at your typical vendor/shops (not from carrier stores, no online)?

Sorry bout the massive questions lol! going to look in a few days :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
eBay sells it for under 500 USD.

X1a should cost 700-800 dollars brand new

X1i should cost 500 dollars brand new

X1a should cost 400-500 used

X1i should cost 350-400 used
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
I'm attempting to remove as much OEM crap from my ROM as possible (AutoShortcut, AutoRun, MyCPL, etc etc) and I've run into a snag with MyCPL. I would like to be able to have custom control panel applets, but it seems that unless the program came with a *.cpl file the only way to do it is using MyCPL.

It seems that MyCPL is a type of pointer that allows you to have executable files listed under settings (like Device Info, USBtoPC, etc etc).

I would prefer to do it the Microsoft way, but it seems I would need to have a cpl file for each program.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
Yikes, I guess that is why HTC created MyCPL? I suppose, it allows them to avoid having to create control panel files for their applications.

Well, If I have to simply copy shortcuts to \Windows\Start Menu\Settings and have it all show up in System I guess that is better than resorting to MyCPL. =(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr. Makk:
even i wana know how to edit mycpl file. wanted 2remove a few shortcuts.

hope sum1 knows a soln.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mr.jaguar:
have you guys looked at no2chem's cpl app? he might be willing to work with it a bit, or who knows what else.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
Thank you for the tip. I was more or less looking for a way to install control panel applets the same way as Microsoft, not using a 3rd party program (like MyCPL). I was hoping that there was some special way to reference programs in the registry that would allow them to show up in Settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

MyCPL works just fine, but it seems the correct way is to create a CPL file for the application. HTC loads programs like DeviceInfo and TVOutSettings into the control panel using MyCPL rather than creating actual control panel files (DeviceInfo.cpl for example).

As it is, I will just have to be happy copying shortcuts to Windows\Start Menu\Settings.

Thanks

I have a windows m 6.5 rom on my att tilt and when i hit the blue FN and hit a : i get %, or if i hit a number i might get a weird character. How do i fix the layout for this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdwilson:
Whose 6.5 ROM are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] One who observes:
Use a registry editor.

HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD change CWSLayout from (1) to (0)

make sure CurLang is set to (1033)

This is for QWERTY keyboard.

All I can find in the Artemis forums is the 1.etc version.

I know there are 2.5+ and 3.0 versions but I can't find any for the Artemis. Is it that they don't exist or I'm missing a trick? Post links with the answer.

Also can we let this topic the point of final answers for future questions on this matter?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DJ_Enigma:
I think I an but I really just wanted to be 100% sure before I do it....Can I use the charger from my Kaiser on my new Rhodium?

I know the conection is the same, I just don't want to mess it up cause it's awesome :)

Thanks,

DJ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DJ_Enigma:
p.s. how quick does this thing charge!!!!!! It charged from new in 1.5 hours. (with supplied charger which I've left at work)

Cheers,

DJ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
The reason why it charged up very fast from new (if it was the very first time you were charging it) was because the battery arrived partially charged so you were not really charging a depleted battery. My last charge from less than 10% to full took about 2 hours 15 mins on the charger, with a USB cable to the computer, it should take nearly twice as long due to lower power on the USB ports.

And the chargers should be interchangeable - I've been using the same charger since my O2 XphoneII smartphone to charge every PDA I have that has the mini USB (type A) connector, including Dopod 818Pro, D810, HTC Touch, and now Touch Pro2.

When in doubt, check the markings on the chargers: their Outputs should be identical (at 5V, 1A).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mallman:
yes i believe the kaiser charger will work just fine
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] weenween:
It should be able. After all, I have been using my Motorola charger (for my v3) all this while for my Universal, Touch Diamond and now my Touch Pro 2.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jgb:
Can't believe I've spent all afternoon on this board. I need to flash an .image to my X1; cannot use my SD card b/c volume button is broken, so must use WMDC.

I have the RUU_Kovsky downloaded; what do I need to do to the .image file to accomplish this?

I'm sure this is relatively simple, so please write out a few sentences & don't just link to a thread. There is no discreet answer in any thread I've seen.

There are multiple stickies on how to flash from the microSD card; understand that. Would be great if we had one how to flash using ActiveSync/WMDC, explaining .image & image.nbh.

Many thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:
Copy the APP_SW_X1a_GENERIC_NAM_CDF1219-1224_KOV_R2AA008.image (or whatever version you are using) file into the RUU_Kovsky Utility folder...rename it to RUU_signed.nbh.Click on the ROMUpdateUtility....follow the instructions on the screen....can't get anymore simpler of an explaination for ya....

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jgb:
You rock, broseph! All that trouble to learn I already had the latest SE ROM installed.

Now all I need is a way to enter bootloader w/out using the volume switch & I'm all set.

Many thanks again.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:
Your welcome....That one might be a hard one to sort...lol...

Regards,

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dutchflea:
It is not that hard to sort actually:

Apart from the power + volume down button combination you can also press the power + camera buttons. So first press and hold camera button, then keep the power button pressed until you see the bootloader screen.

It's the same as with many of the HTC devices, actually (after all it's still a HTC phone ;))

I suppose you have installed the weekday.cab. You gotta install the attached file to get rid of your problem. It worked well on my German HD.

Take care.
[Touch HD General] Novice Gadget Boy:
Yes. I have installed the weekday cab. I used your cab, however the issue is still there...
[Touch HD General] docnomore:
You sure did a soft reset? Cause the cab doesn't ask for it. My app only worked after a reset. But it is possible that the manila.cab only works on german systems. In this case I'm awfully sorry.
[Touch HD General] Novice Gadget Boy:
I looked this file up in the windows directory. It is a german language file for manila. Thanks anyway. I am looking for the file responsible for english translation for calendar tab in manila. Thanks, anyway :)
[Touch HD General] docnomore:
You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't really help you :(. Hope you'll find a cab in your language.

Thats okay. I appreciate any type of help. Cheers :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
I'm cooking a Hermes 6.1 ROM with Bepe's old Hermes ROM kitchen using Tadzio's tools, and when the .bat file gets to the last nbmerge command it throws an error: Could not open input file -conservative.payload.

The instructions when using nbmerge state "In -conservative mode, <os-new.nb.extra> must exist". How do I write this command in the .bat file to get it to build the ROM in -conservative mode. I'm trying to leave the ULDR partition in place.

Help anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Bumpity bump bump... I'll refrain from using the mod powers to sticky this until I get an answer. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NRGZ28:
From what I can see... you're not supplying nbmerge with the right number of parameters. It thinks "-conservative.payload" is the input file name. I'd say you need to supply it a file name... most likely "os.nb.payload" and THEN pass it that conservative switch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
That's what I thought. I know that os.new.payload.extra has to be there, but I don't know where it goes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] B4PJS:
ImgfsToNb imgfs-new.bin OS.nb.payload OS-new.nb.payload -bigstoragemove

thats what I use for imgfstonb if that helps... (Cant get conservative to work with this though :()
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
The -conservative parameter MUST be used in the nbmerge command line if it is also used in the imgfstonb command line. The idea is simply to find out where os-new.payload.extra fits in the command.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] B4PJS:
NBMerge

-------

Usage:

NBMerge -hermes|-kaiser|-titan|-sp|-wizard|-athena <os-new.nb> or

NBMerge -hermes|-kaiser|-titan|-sp|-wizard|-athena <os-new.nb> -conservative

or

NBMerge -data <payload-chunk-size> -extra <extra-chunk-size> <os-new.nb> or

NBMerge -data <payload-chunk-size> -extra <extra-chunk-size> <os-new.nb> -conservative

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you ran ImgfsToNb with -conservative, you also *must* use -conservative with NBMerge. Similarily, if you ran ImgfsToNb without -conservative, you *must not* use -conservative with NBMerge!

Adds back in the device-specific extra data, creating a properly formatted <os-new.nb> file. The names of the input files are derived from the output file name - for example, if you call NBMerge with os-new.nb, then os-new.nb.payload is used as input file.

Just like NBSplit, NBMerge does nothing for Wizard and Athena.

The -data <numer> -extra <number> format is explained above, under NBSplit.

If -conservative is not given, the extra data is generated internally. (This currently only works for devices which have an extra-chunk-size of 8, like Hermes, Kaiser, and Titan.) In this case, <os-new.nb.extra> is not needed.

In -conservative mode, <os-new.nb.extra> must exist.

As the last step of creating <os-new.nb>, the resulting file is checked for bad NAND block markers (only for Hermes, Kaiser, and Titan). If any are found, a warning is printed and an errorlevel > 0 is returned. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
When written as above, I got the error. Please follow with an example.

Also, if <os-new.nb.extra> must exist, where does it go?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] B4PJS:
I was just quoting from the readme.txt found in my \tools\imgfs folder. I am guessing that the .extra needs to be in the same folder as the .payload. I have attached the readdme just in case you dont have it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Thanks. I actually have this, but I'm just still needing clarification on how this nbmerge line should read or why it's asking for conservative.payload.

We'll figure this out if I can get ahold of Bepe or one of the others supergods.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NRGZ28:
How about...... "NBMerge -hermes os-new.nb.payload os-new.nb.payload.extra -conservative" ? Better yet... upload the batch file u use here so I can take a look see...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Here ya go. This is the original and I know that it does not copy OS-new.nb.extra into the temp folder as well as call for it in the nbmerge cmd line. No matter what I do, for some reason nbmerge thinks that -conservative is a file. I'm using v. 2.0 rc1 I think.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Bumpity, bump, bump....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Double bump!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dcd1182:
batch looks just fine to me.... os.nb.extra is not needed :) why are you using imgfstools 2.0 rc1?

edit: whoops, um, i know how to read....

well i was going to test for you with .nb.extra there, but i cant seem to trim my stuff down to fit within -conservative. can i ask why you want to use -conservative mode anyways?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Well, I don't know why I was using RC1 but I have it fixed now. It seems I dumped the RC2 tools into my Kaiser kitchen.

Basically, I needed to put in a copy command to get OS-new.nb.extra into the temp folder. It worked, and now my device isn't dropping to 9mb of RAM available after 30 minutes. ROM release upcoming soon.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dcd1182:
i am glad you got it working

i am still curious why you dont want to use bigstorage, and im very surprised that your device booted with the improper nb and ate RAM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jwzg:
Well, I was using bigstoragemove, but I wanted a perfect port. I'm wanting to keep the ULDR partition due to the fact that device update is currently being developed on another thread in this subforum, and I may be interested in using it. I ported my build directly from the 19214 build from the Tilt using Bepe's first Hermes kitchen and his kitchen used the RC1 tools.

Hello to all on this great website. I first joined a bit back when i got a hp 6815 and have got great knowledge and information from here.

I have been through at least 50 different mobile phones over the years but craved for more power in my hand, i have tried many and found some ok but most of them totally boring really for features. Don't like java games, prefer good quality games you get on ppc's. I have been impressed with Q3 loading up on my m3100 and the ps emulator working on ppc's. Resident evil and other top games playing smoothly with FpseCE. :). Just a pity cod2 won't play because of m3100 not being intel. It played good on my 6815.

I had a mad day yesterday installing about ten wm5/6 roms. most of the lite versions but also official ones too. Mainly to test Q3 on, lol, it played, but was jerky and could do with tweaking somehow.

So with all what i have learnt from you all, thankyou very much and i will be a happy member of this site for a while to come. I will also help others when i can, but really i am a newb still.

Hi, Great forum, and I am much enjoying the hacker's atmosphere & the insights and software, and I am busily downloading, organising and learning.

All I really want is high capacity SD enabling, otherwise winmob 5 is fine. Have Hermes300, Wizard200, Acer N310, Pin570.(v dodgy that)

I live as a tramp, in a tent, camped on a wooded roundabout, and am using my Hermes or public library computers to access.... I write PIC stuff & use pdas because compact & solar/bicycle rechargeable...

Have some obstructions:

T Mob isp seems to obstruct downloads of unblock softwares (surreptitious ?)

On McDonalds WiFi their net nanny kicks in to block "porn pages" like "Soft SPL" or "Hard SPL"....

The public library's high speed computers download published ROM images very fast but I have dificulty accessing XDA developers.

Am looking forward to spending a week at Cambridge UK netcafes to do bulk downloading onto SD cards, images & web pages. Will also enrol on paypal & give money to contributors then.

May buy a netbook computer Linux, & study to develop Linux for pdas & HTC, if can find enough power sockets to plug them in. (woodlands are deficient in such facilities..)

Thanks for your enthusiastic contributions!

Peace

Peter

Thanks Mike! Yes it was I that was responding but somehow my 2 post got put together. I my finger must have clicked the "quote" instead of the "reply" as the first part of the post was toward steini79 & aeok18109 which as stated was just plain good old fashion sarcasim. The balance of the post was what quoted ther was from Huayra. I was so afraid because I had allowed my Email to be accessed by all members & I was so very hurt.
