[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I think that any phone that you buy right now can be regretted. This includes Iphone, Symbian, WebOS, Android.

There is always something to crave for from other phones and you think to yourself maybe the other OS + phone is better.

iPhone = fast, and friendly + best games

Symbian = often comes with amazing cameras, and speakers, and good platform for 3D games that iPhone isn't capable of [such as Brothers in Arms] without lagging

WebOS = fast, and even more friendly, but that's about it

Android = cool interface, but rugged design, will improve

WinMo = the most PC-like interface and software you can get

So when will we get something with the best games, the top camera, the most hi-fi speakers, the fastest interface, and the most futuristic interface, with a PC like functionality?

And please don't even talk about Call of Duty 2 in WinMo.... it's just too slow and terrible graphics... check what symbian can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85EHsky5Li0
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Well, I didn't have any problems in the small cities in the countries I visited as well. The X1 has good reception. It is not the best, for example, my N95 has way better reception. That doesn't mean the X1 has faulty one.

NO. iPhone may win the award for CRAPPIEST games, if I'm generous.

You do know that there are 2 version of COD2 for WinMo right? The normal one and the accelerated one. The latter has much better graphics and is very smooth.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
iPhone games win hands downs. They are often short and all and don't last hundreds of hours of game time such as AOE or the tycoon game (I havent played it yet) but the iPhone games are like a bunch of mini-games except they are much funner. Furthermore, we know any other OS can support the same quality in graphics, but it is a fact that there are hundreds of more games with pretty good graphics then there are for Windows Mobile, Symbian S60, and Android albeit all of these games for all phone OS are boring.
[XPERIA X1 General] Psycho Dave:
I regret getting the X1.

I want a phone that works and don't develops cracks.
[XPERIA X1 General] pageleft:
I am about to shelf my X1 unit for a new mobile device.

This is my 3rd WinMo phone and it is by far the best phone I have ever used. The software (thanks entirely to the XDA community) is great and very flexible.

The only two problems I am having is that it's been less than 6-months since buying this device and the hardware keyboard (one of the main reasons I decided to buy this phone) has been playing up for some time. A lot of buttons don't work and I need to always press extra hard on on them. This in-turn causes duplicated letters in my emails and text messages which is really annoying. In terms of productivity, it has really decreased that for me.

The second issue is how battered the device looks. It is almost embaressing to show it to anyone because of the peeling paint etc.. Most of the other flaws I think people have covered (e.g crappy speaker, weird screen etc....)

While I am aware these are repairable faults, I feel I should mention them to emphasize the poor build quality and what you might experience in less than 6-months from the time you buy it.

All-in-all, it is one of the better phones I have owned and though I can't say I regret buying it, I would have liked to read posts like these before forking out $1000AUD.
[XPERIA X1 General] soljd19:
It was a very expensive mistake for me.

The MAIN requirement for the phone was internet browsing, which is where it let me down the most. It wouldn't keep the GPRS connection for more than a couple of minutes. I had to end the connection and let the browser restart it before I could continue. I don't know if this was the fault of the poor signal, vodafone, or winmo, but it was unuseable.

The keyboard was the main attraction, however, In use it was sluggish and unresponsive. Typing text messages usually involves a 3-4 second wait before it finally caught up, usually followed by a lot of bleeping. (From me!) After a few glasses of wine typing became near impossible and required the recipients of my messages to use an Enigma machine to decipher my texts.

The peeling paint was the final straw. I don't know what HTC did with this build, but my Diamond (which I've switched back to) has a much better build quality, is faster and more reliable, but lacks the all important keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 General] brym!:
@Xperiance: Thanks for this thread, I was definitely going to get one next week but after reading about the negative X1 points from the replies, I must hold to my cash. Not worth the premium price tag.
[XPERIA X1 General] human75:
dont buy.Otherwise you ll be regret after 3 monts usage.Terrible phone that i can tell you mate.
[XPERIA X1 General] some8:
I have used X1i few months now and before used HTC HD. Major reason for me switching from HD to Xperia was 1. battery life and 2.lack of D pads. Having no D pads became pain in the rear especially when I was browsing internet.

It really depends on what you want. For me, although it has up and downs, I can't find any device does the job as X1i can deliver. It has AGPS + WVGA screen. It has flash for the camera and physicial qwerty keyboard. Above all, it is winmo device. If you try to find one, there aren't many devices under this specification.(probably none other at present time)

Most software issues can be worked around. Winmo 6.1 is not very finger friendly, but you can always get pannels for it to over come the issue. Just becareful with SPB pocket shell. The latest one (3.0.1 I think) drains battery and lowered my signal receptions. When I tried older versions like 3.0 or older, it fixed battery and reception issue, but switching from landscape to portrait took like 3 secs for transition.

Sure qwerty keypad isn't nice as the one on Blackberry but you get used to it. The bigger problem is the reception issue when you hold the phone. Simple cure for this is a screen protector or some kind of case. As long as you can keep your bare hands from touching the back of the device(metal parts) you won't have problem with it.(it worked for mine.)

Mine has latest SE firmware installed + SPB weather 2 + advanced config tool + Tweak2k2. That's it. Once you start pile things on top of it, you will get into all sorts of stability issues like I had. With this setup, I find mine to be very stable and responsive. I only recharge my battery once in 3~4 days, except when if I use AGPS, I need recharge it more frequently.

If qwerty keyboard and D pads aren't necessary, you have other devices to look at. But if you want all the goodies in a package, Xperia is as good as it gets.
[XPERIA X1 General] Darkrider114:
Neverrrrrrrrrr!

I don't know why u guys are pissed of with this great device except for the cracks in the case.

Here r some positive things about Xperia:

1)You can extremely customize your phone to the deep with great roms.

2)You can view unconverted movies right on your phone if you have a

Coreplayer. I mean all most all the formats.

3)You have got Qwerty keypad which is really useful at times.

4)Xperia is the king of connectivity with Gprs,Egde, 3G HSDPA, HSUPA, WIFI

and BLUETOOTH.

5)Optical track pad which is very useful while browsing with IE,Opera,Opera

Mini(Try with it, simply awesome)

4)You can try many user interfaces like SPB SHELL, POINTIU, WISBAR

ADVANCE, TOUCH FLO 3D, WINMO 6.5 TITANIUM.

and the list goes on..........

But its the fact that some of you are not pissed of(not all) even if the iphone doesn't have bluetooth sharing capability, video recording(not abt 3.0), camera flash, hefty price tag outside the contract for the ridiculous hardware except for cpu and screen..

Cheers.....Be content with what you have got..
[XPERIA X1 General] Hannigan174:
... :( ...

Seriously?

Give me a break

WVGA Resolution,

Quadband with 850Mhz 3G/HS(U/D)PA,

Full QWERTY Keyboard,

Usable Camera (It's even got a flash WOW!)

Fully customizable OS,

And it's problems?

Recessed screen hasn't been anything other than a minor issue

Speed and reliability very good,

Cracks... I have a hairline cosmetic crack, seriously I am not gonna cry about this,

Screen sensitivity is very good (90% of where iPhone is)

For all the people that bought this phone and thought it was like magic, what were you thinking? It is still WinMo, and you should expect to mod to get the most out of it. After all, you are here. Even out of the box it's good, SPB Panel and PointUI Panel are awesome.

So please, stop the illogical hating. I would recommend the moderators close all of these threads because they do not help anyone, and just degenerate into fanboy flamewars.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Screen Sensitivity isn't good. It has the best screen sensitivity for a resistive screen, no doubt. But capacitive screens don't need you to apply pressure.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Resistive > Capacitive

It is not my opinion. It is the universal truth. Research it.
[XPERIA X1 General] littleenglish:
Haha, the same thing happened to me! Otherwise I would have never bought an xperia. Oh well.. I'll have to spend more wisely next time
[XPERIA X1 General] human75:
i think you dont understand point.Yes all this features are good if you can use.But if the phone breaks down every week after 3 months usage and the official SE cant fix the problem on the phone and if they keep the phone 1month in service what would you say?I hope your phone wont break down if it does you ll understand what i am talking about.You know what i bought my xperia with contract and i pay 50$ per month and my phone is not my hand.Do u think this is fair?Every phone could break down but when u send service they should fix the phone not like what SE does to me!Sorry .Cheers.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franculito:
hi!

I have a small wish:

I would like to avoid that people in my office hear when I dial a number in the sound Normal profile.

If I go to Settings/sounds and try to diminuish the System Volume (on the bottom of the screen) also the Rings volume will change?

If I use the Vibrate profile, fine no problem there is no sound. But that is not what I would like.. :confused:

Maybe you have an Idea :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekksman:
hi, if you go to phone/ menu / options "keypad" change "short tones" to off
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Man.:
Hey, if you use the volume rocker on the side you have the option to decrease the system volume and ring volume.

So decrease the volume on the rocker and then look at the top of the screen... click "System" and decrease the volume to zero.

Hope that helps
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flight23:
If you just wanna turn off the sound when dialing a number go to settings => personal => phone. There you you should find an option to change the behaviour when using th edial pad (nothing, vibrate, short sound etc)

Is it possible to have game input like wolfenstein on the iphone?

The point is that the game tracks finger touches for steering at the same time as pressing the soft button to shoot in the other side of the screen.

Is it possible on a standard htc magic ?

I know you could use the track ball instead and so on but that isn't the point.

Yesterday I decided to try and update from Cyanogen's 3.4.6 to 3.5.2. When I did this, and booted into 3.5.2, a lot of my apps could not open and didnt have icons nor the right name. I had made a nandroid backup right before this (while on 3.4.6) so i restored with that but my apps are still messed up.

My question is, do i have to reformat my sd card each time i update to a new rom? if not how do i make it so it doesnt screw up like that?
[G1 General] gonintendo:
i use gparted to format my ext2 partition. you just right click, then format and it's do it automatically, no need for a command prompt.

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[G1 General] gonintendo:
also, if youve never used it, burn the iso to a cd and the boot to your cd drive. you can also use it to make your swap bigger/smaller and the same w/ your apps 2sd (the ext2 partition)

PS, it will default to your hard drive, to get to your sd click on the big button on the top left of the window and select the drive that is your sd

I want to configure UC to customise my phone after flashing and ahve read the UC thread but it is very advanced. I understand I need to make a SDConfig file to install cab files which is fine. Several questions:

1.) Where does the file above go?

2.) How is it run (Does it need a program)?

3.) If I wanted to set the email options for example, email address, name, password, save password option, only download todays messages, nothing over 50k. That sort of stuff then how do i go about that. How do I get my current settings, what do i do with them?, what file do i put them in, where is that file placed, how is it run?

4.) Same questions as above but how do i do it for settings in 3rd party apps like S2U2?

5.) I use PDA Status on my today screen. How do I copy a file of themes for it from my storage card to the correct destination on the device?

6.) How can I change the settings of PDA status so it only shows speciifc icons

7.) How do I turn on and off speciific today screen plugins?

8.) How do i reorder the today screen plugins.

9.) How do I set a WM theme as the current theme (.TSK file)

I think thats all for now

If someone could write short tutorials for each section it would be most appreciated as a whole load of links to other pages with tons more info is soooo much confusing and you can never find the right part.

I don't reformat, but I always clear out my ext2/ext3 partition on the SD card when switching between ROMs. Too many problems happen if you don't.
[G1 General] TooSlo:
I admittedly haven't been keeping up with all of the new ROMS that have hit the scene lately, but wanted to at least check out Exchange support and if it's even worth trying.

I have seen that there is something called Nitrodesk Touchdown, which I may try out if the Android Exchange client is terrible, but I'd rather not spend any money currently.

Situation: My work has put a hold on new phone activations, and I'm absolutely sick of my Blackberry currently, though it has email and all. I'd prefer carry around a single phone if the other is that steaming pile.

I temporarily need Exchange support on my G1 if I'm going to make due with a single phone until my company finally opens up AT&T upgrades and I can finally buy an iphone for work/exchange support/media device.

So, my question is thus: What versions of ROMS are you using currently that have Exchange 2000/2003 support?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DomSim:
short answers then you will need to read the thread. all the info is there, how do you think we learned?

1.) files go where ever you want, you specify the location in the sdconfig

2.) the perticular rom needs to be UC compliant, then it is done automatically

3.) use rapiconfig to extract the info for email from the phone, you will make an .xml file that is ran from the sdconfig

4.) export reg entries from phone or with ceregedit again giving you an .xml. to find values you need, you can make a registry backup with ceregedit, make the changes you want to backup, then run a compare with ceregedit

5.) you can use the cpy1, cpy2 command to copy single files and xcopyce to copy files

6.) see answer 4

7.) see answer 4

8.) see answer 4

9.) sdconfig can set a theme with the TSK: command

again read the thread, all most all your answers are in the first few post. and no you dont need the SleuthProvisioning.xml file, that is his personal settings
