[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
I think when speaking of user friendlynes, the touch pro 2 can be that. I mean, you are talking about advantages of the d-pad, sure, there are some, though i don't have chubby fingers, d-pad on xperia is sometimes a horrible design mistake. left and right d-pad is ok, but up and down, you can't hardly press it without pressing on the optical pad. what's the use of an optical pad anyway, i hardly use it, only for up and down for the forementioned problems with keypad. i don't use it for scolling webpages since opera, and in fact, the whole OS, is already using kinnetic scrolling.

no flash on tp2. Yeah, like having a led flashlight really makes a difference, but the vga recording @ 30fps is a nice addition to xperia though, if only it would not capture to 3gp format, cmon, 3gp in twothousand and f*cking nine?

Every phone has it flaws orelsi. Xperia is also not perfect, especially not if you were buying it for the hardware qwerty and the so called arctic slide, nothing special about that either.

But I agree, sometimes your posts can be rude, as i have notice myself before.

As i know the thread starter from mobile-review and he happens to have an iphone, i suggested him a device equally matches the screen size at least. Because the 16:9 aspect ratio of the xperia doesn't make it per se a better user experience.

Anyway, i hope we can help the topic starter for his quest for a good winmo phone.

ohh, and possibly most anoying is the recessed screen, where the tp2 is flushed.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
trust me. having a flash is making a difference. the one in xperia is strong enough and even low light pictures are quite nice quality. it is true about not so great quality of videos though.

arc (not arctic :) ) slider is a very nice feature. previously I had tytn 2 and tilted screen was less neat. on the other hand, flush screen on tp2 is better.

d-pad is not the bestest one, but tbh one can get used to it and it's better to have one rather than have none. optical joystick is also great for precise operation.

so.... x1 have it's flaws, but for many of us it's a weapon of choice. no other device have those looks with all this greatness inside with it's compact form factor.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
lol wut?

If you aren't satisfied with the 'up" and "down" keys and aren't using the optical pad, then turn of the optical one and be happy with the hardware d-pad. ;)

I use the optical scrolling all the time for browsing, scrolling through menus and most importantly through e-books.

Also, there are many games and some apps that require a D-Pad. Better to have one is what I say.

It is not a small difference. It is especially noticeable in dark places. The TP2 won't be able to make a pic, while the X1 will take one. Now, you tell me what's better - to have a certain (arguably not perfect) ability or to have no ability at all?

Have I ever said that the X1 is without flaws? I have pointed its flaws repeatedly.

Do you mean the "arc" slider? That is just a form factor, although the curve helps a little bit when typing.

Everything is in the eye of the beholder.... get it? ;)

The bigger screen and better speakers are the only two things the TP2 has going for it. I can't honestly call that an upgrade (unless we are talking apple lmao). The 16:9 ratio is pretty good for movies though :D.

Indeed.

OP my advice is to get the X1 or wait for some other phone later in the year.

Agreed 100%.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
i think, not any manufacturer wil make the perfect device for us. just near close to keep us hungry for more and more...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Yeah, if they make the perfect one, who would bother buying their next device haha. That's why the X1 lacks an accelerometer.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
Thanks all for the feedback it was very helpful.

In it's bare-bones state, in other-words without altering the ROM or putting other UI's on it how do the panels perform, are they more of a gimmick than an actual useful addition.

I have heard that the X1 UI is less customised than something like the TP2 & you encounter raw WM6.1 more often & with the screen/font size that it can be tricky to use without applying the stylus?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
there is mobile shell from spb, i don't use it though, but it also can keep you away from the inner wm6.1 ui, for a while though. check spb's website about it, it's free for xperia, as a panel, so decide wich panel suits your time of the day :-)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oobly:
The X1 rocks! I got mine a few days ago and simply love it!

The stock software isn't too awesome, though, and the up button of the D-Pad is hard to press (but I don't use it anyway since the optical joystick works beautifully). Personally I like the keyboard feel, not too mushy for my taste. No G-sensor, but I find them irritating anyway (again, just a personal preference). In all other regards the hardware is fantastic. Fast and small, great display, full qwerty, optical d-pad, Wi-Fi, gps with a-gps support, etc..

I have flashed a few ROMs (6.5 and 6.1) and am very happy with Smaberg's Touch X 10.1 EXTREME final ROM (WinMo 6.1, Touch Flo 3d - not sure which version, but it is smooth and touch-friendly). Stable and very fast. Makes for a much better experience than stock and smoother than all the 6.5 ROMs I have tried. It's been around a while and there is good support in the ROM thread. Don't have to delve too deep into 6.1 guts, interface is great.

My advice? Definitely buy one and flash it with the Touch X ROM. :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp-x1:
I had to reboot my Nokia E90 every few days, it also took about 10% of battery to get the thing to a usable state after reboot too, hence why i had a second battery for it.

They also broke the BT functionality with their official flashed OS. It made it unreliable to boot.

This is why I'm here and have an X1 in my hand. If its going to be unreliable, I'd rather have a smaller, lighter, more configurable device.

i won't go on to say it is perfect, as it isn't. The E90 was built like a tank, went swimming several times and was dropped on an almost weekly basis, but still worked.

The X1 I have has been dropped and has been swimming, and it still works, but the case has cracked :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdhweg:
First of all The perfect allInOne phone does not exist (even the iphone doesn't hehe) ...

i had nokia n95-8gb, samsung i550, samsung f480 and a lot more... now I'm with my xperia...

If you are an multimedia fan use a sony ericson w series phone ... if u like to have great amount of software u can use the xperia or any other winmobile phone BUT the xperia has a nice design and a good quality case... The camera is enough for snapshots and the gps is great - no compare with n95 this one has a crapy gps... so there's a lot of + and - it depents on what you personally need. if i could find "my rom" so it is the perfect phone for me because i don't listen too much to music but i want an rds radio a tmc and a good gps device so the nokia couldn't give me that ... Maybe the samsung omnia hd is an alternative one but rember it very depending on which rom u are using - hop it helped...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
I have my Kaiser upgraded from Abusalza ROM v7 to v10.

It works like a charm and I'm loving it so far until now.

The battery is dead and when I plugged in either usb charger or power charger, the notification led lit up solid orange/amber like it supposed to and then it blinks.

I checked and later found my phone isn't charging at all. Is this related to bad battery or is it because of incompatible radio?

Oh, and when I tried to switch on the device it just hang. Perhaps it doesn't have enough juice to boot up.

Anyone got same problem with me? Please advice how to fix this.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WillardZ:
If you have already cleaned the battery terminals, I would suppose it is new battery time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] One Hype:
Well, I was sort of having a problem similar to this running the same ROM series. For me though, the notification LED would blink, even if it wasn't plugged in and there were no notifications. I would also get it when plugged in at times. This was intermittent, since it would randomly happen for some unknown reason. To fix it, I just killed all running programs, and reset the phone once or twice and it went away.

For you, if the ROM worked fine before, but isn't working now, a bad radio would not cause your problem. An incompatible radio would have caused you boot up problems and such from the moment you flashed, not later on. Don't know exactly what to tell you, except try a new battery. Get back to us after, and if it doesn't work, we can figure something else out. Hope your problem gets resolved by the battery. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
Keep in mind that my phone is currently out of juice i.e. dead.

So, supposedly by plugging in the charger I can restore the battery but in this case that didn't happen.

I guess I would better off go to the shop where I bought the battery and ask a replacement. The battery was new and not even 1 months old.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for the advice guys.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] One Hype:
Does the LED light up still, even with the battery dead? If so, wait about 20 min for it to recharge, even though I am assuming you have already done this. If it is completely drained, it most likely won't power back until it has enough power to do so on it's own, even with the charger connected.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
At first it blinking and then I pulled out the battery and reinsert it into the phone. Now it lit amber light and then in few minutes turned green. Tried to switch it on and the screen loading fine until at one time it show loading icon and then shutdown.

You assumed it right though, I've been letting the phone connected to the charger since last night and still no juice pumped into the battery I presume as I can't turn it on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I agree with WillardZ

There's a technical term for items which fail very early on called infant mortality - this may be whats happened. See how it goes with a battery swapped in the shop. If you can get it to work by putting in a fully charged, known good battery but the recharging function doesn't work (or you get a flashing red light after a few minutes again), also try cleaning the spring terminals with IPA or contact cleaner applied using cotton buds. If that still doesn't work but you can boot the device into windows (with the shop borrowed battery), perform a hard reset before the battery goes flat/below 50 % and test again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
okay, I found my other battery which is I know work fine and put it in the device.

I charge it to full and now turning the device on.

While loading the touchflo, the loading icon just hang and I can't do anything.

Nothing works except sleep button.

Can you advice me how to reset this thing?

I know that battery isn't the problem here and I can't seems to do anything since it hung on me.

Oh, I tried turning the phone on without SIM and memory card and still hung.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
hmmm, wonder why you didn't try that at the first hint of a suggestion it's a dodgy battery:confused::confused:

I can but it'll encourage others to ask without searching first and given there's already a wiki here that covers Kaiser Resets perfectly well (and the Kaiser users manual that comes with the device - let me guess, you don't have that), you'll need to read the wiki and help yourself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
Not to sound rude but I did said that I 'found' my other battery which is previously misplaced whereas I said earlier I'm going to get a replacement for the dead battery.

There is an instruction of how to reset the kaiser but is there a way to reset it while it is OFF or HANG?

I honestly apologies if I sound like I asked question without searching first but I honestly did not found what I'm looking for. The pda is still hang no matter how many times I restart it and I'm out of idea.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
duuuuudddeee....the page you linked to above describes a way to do a HARD RESET for your EXACT requirement...read it again.

also, if it is OFF to begin with, then powering it up (even if it hangs ultimately) is equivalent to a SOFT RESET. if it doesn't complete startup and always hangs, then a HARD RESET is the way to go.

and if by "reset it", you mean "flash a new ROM", you can search for that also and you'll find plenty of guides and tutorials and FAQs...but go one step at a time and do a hard reset first (remember, you will lose all data and non-default programs after the hard reset).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
:eek: Thanks!

I just noticed the part where it says power+camera+stylus.

Appreciate that a lot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
You've found the right section but just the hard reset section will be applicable. You don't need the bootscreen (which is what that button combination is all about), just a hard reset (making sure the battery has a decent charge of at least 50% before starting).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyunyu:
Thank you for all the help.

I've managed to reset my phone back to OEM and then flash 3.34 hardspl and radio and abusalza v10. Looks like it back functioning.

Will monitor it to see what could be wrong in these few days.
[Touch CDMA General] ibanezbass:
Is this possible? I'm a GSM user but my cousin is trying to join on to the android project with a Vogue. So with a GSM u would unlock it and use the sim however i dont know if you can unlock CDMA since it has no sim... can someone tell if i can and how? thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] gjbnh:
I have A CDMA USCC phone, which I had to unlock to upgrade the radio for better GPS. Just read thru the very good instructions in the unlocker thread in the vogue upgrade section here and post any followup questions to this in the unlocker thread. Just be sure to read, as the more you know the better off you are.

And remember, search is your friend :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Obelix_A:
Hi all!

so many threads about software - so many comments on them, that i'd like to introduce my calendar project to you.

it's a WM5 (and above) software displaying a month overview over your appointments (week, day and list also available).

many settings (e.g. show/hide a list of all appointments below the month view, colorize categories, set background image, etc, etc...)

you can download a free version (which was a development state) from here (german version only. the zip package can be grabbed from the bottom of the first posting)

the official version - currently 2.1 - can be downloaded from here. you can switch the software language to english by opening the settings (cyan button with gear) and use the last page "Sprache".

i give german support on http://www.pocketpc.ch/mvcal-support/. for english support simply open a new thread ;)

hints:

- you need .NETCF 3.5

- to switch to the next/previous month, simply slide your finger from left to right and vice versa. (up/down switches year).

- the list supports kinetic/smooth scrolling.

i hope some of you will give it a chance :)

best regards,

Obelix

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Gnitrops:
Hello,

I'm using Diamond with EnergyROM, which I recently acquired.

I have some SMS on my old phone (a Sony Ericsson K800i) which I'd like to move to my Diamond. However I can't see how to do it efficiently.

With the SE K800, I can save all the SMS in a single .CSV file. Is there a way to import them to the Diamond?

I considered sync'ing too. Is there any software that can sync my K800's SMS with the PC, and then the PC with the Diamond?

Lastly, I considered copying the SMS to the SIM card, then switching the SIM card to the Diamond and copy the SMS's to the phone. However, I want to keep over 100 SMS and my SIM only takes 10 each time. Also, if I copy the SMS's to the Diamond from the SIM card, they don't seem to "stick" in the phone; If I remove SIM and turn Diamond on, the SMS are gone! (Even a SMS I received while copying, that was stored directly in the Diamond, was gone!)

Is there any light for me, or I will just have to accept that I'm losing all my messages?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] emugpp:
I've noticed that the Galaxy has the same keyboard as the Vodafone Magic, but the Magic keyboard can handle accidental presses better..I think because it recognizes two thumbs

The Galaxy just get completely wonkers when you accidentally touch the keyboard with two fingers..like letter "a" and "k", it will wobble to "g" or something..

I was wondering if there is any distant hope to get the code from the Magic onto the Galaxy to handle the keyboard press' better?

thx devs for some insight on this!

just deselect touchflo 3d from items in today settings. that disables the manila UI and gives you winmo std. if you select windows default that usually brings up titanium home screen! you can add all the items you want without windows default and touchflo 3D ticked.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
A friendly forum member provided me with some files to install for applications included in most roms available... voicedialer and footprints.

I succesfully installed VoiceDialer.apk by following these commands..

1. adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/local/tmp

2. adb shell pm install /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk

3. adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk

Tried it right away, and it indeed worked. I usually just install apps from the downloaded file manager but figured I'd expand my horizons and try it this way. I don't recognize this way of doing it, I thought it was basically adb push /system/apps_s (or something like that), but this is all I could find quickly on how to do it.

None the less, I tried the same thing with Footprints, and was given this error via adb..

"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]"

Google result..

"Installation return code: this is passed to the IPackageInstallObserver by installPackage(android.net.Uri, IPackageInstallObserver, int) if the new package failed while optimizing and validating its dex files, either because there was not enough storage or the validation failed."

All chinese to me :D

So I tried installing Footprints via linda file manager.. and get the genreal "footprints could not be installed on this phone"

I also have .odex files for both the footprints app, and the footprints widget app.. i don't know if odex files are necessary though, as the system might create them on their own

Can anyone help me with how to install Footprints? I Don't understand why Voice Dialer installed but Footprints is no go..

Thank you.

edit: forgot to mention.. voicedialer does not seem to work quite right. I tell it exactly what to do.. "call joe blow on mobile" and it still pops open an option screen for joe blow, and if i click on one of the options it force closes. But saying "open calendar" seems to work. Just not phone numbers i guess?
