Problem solved!!! :)))))))))

First of all, i guess you'll got me a little mistaken... I ment wen you hold the phone vertecaly, than not on the battery it self, no, over it... there is the GSM antenna which is JUST A STICKER... and yes... the antenna IS the sticker!

So, bottom line, i bought my self a new antenna (very BIG thanks to jasonchan ) and thank to my dumbness, now we all know thet the sticker that is on the antenna plastic is the GSM antenna and i really suggest to all of you, DONT REMOVE IT ...

BIG thanks for the support, you guys. Don't know what i would done without you! :rolleyes::D:p:rolleyes::D:D:D:D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mradlmaier:
Hi,

I have seen several apps, which will rotate the screen, i.e. Gyrator. So far that works nice.

But in some cases, i like to switch screen manually and override the automatic sensor.

Is there a way to do this?

If not, is there a tool, which lets me manually rotate the screen, same like in my old Trinity?

Best regards,

Michael

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Celso Marques:
Hi guys!

I'm from the Elfin forum and I'm decided to buy a new phone, so I'm confused to choose between XPERIA and Omnia.

After search about both phone specs I was surprised to know that XPERIA is HW 3D capable and that it's almost or fully capable to run M2D 3D:eek:, so I'm almost sure to buy a XPERIA phone instead of Omnia.

I would like to know from you (people that really use this phone :D) how is the phone on day by day use, with games and emulators, etc in overall aspects.

Sure about your help, thanks a lot!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaosstorm:
Are you serious gonna buy a phone because it has manilla 3d? :rolleyes:

Ok manilla 3d runs same as on the htc phones.. but this qualcomm cpu aint So good for other 3d purposses like games :P

If you can get a cheap xperia x1 sure go ahead but dont pay top price for it..

Since most of the xperia's will eventually get cracks or other problems..

you could also look at touch pro 2 it has bigger screen, tv out, g-sensor and 1 row more keys. (altho that one has the same cpu and tp2 is way more expansive)

you could also wait for other phones with the qualcomm snapdragon or nvidia tegra cpu's those 2 should come out soon i guess.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Celso Marques:
I'm in Brazil guy, on the local providers the most advanced phones are iPhone (isn't a smatphone), HTC Diamond, Omnia and now XPERIA.

I thinked on XPERIA cause the HW 3D and physical qwerty, and after for M2D 3D that's pretty cool interface.

The price for these phones on the Brazil providers it's about $700, are you think it expensive?

You sure, there are phones most capable, with g-sensor, tv-out, larger screen..., but about these I did mention, in your opinion, how is the best?

About the games, how it was?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
No, most will NOT get them.

OP get the Xperia and be happy with your life afterwards (or happier).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzalert2k:
Yes, that is very expansive. Check ebay. I got mine for $270 in fairly mint condition.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaosstorm:
Well ok mine didnt get cracks but the screen is going blue when sliding out :P (after repairs..) (before repairs it went out when sliding open)

So yes .. the phone has weird problems altho not every one will experience these :rolleyes:

(yes i know a cable is loose and giving wrong colors but hey.. its a stupid problem because i didnt drop it ..)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Celso Marques:
Hi guys,

I had checked the ebay and the offers are about $500 for new phones, and $350 for used ones. In fact it's not so different of the prices in Brazil's operators:p

I readed something about cracks in some devices, but maybe it's a fault in some of first manufactured lot or else bad quality material that was used, that certainly already was changed on new manufactures.

But I want to know about the overall performance, if the device is really fast as the Diamond or Omnia (that are my other options of buy).

In truth, I'm discarding the Diamond because it has no SD slot, so I can't expand its memory.

Considereing the Omnia x XPERIA, I'm loosing a 5 megapixel camera, g-sensor, a little more speed processor and a little more large screen? But on XPERIA I'm getting a physical qwerty that maybe more useful that g-sensor, the 3.2 mp camera that is already more efficient than the 2 megapixel from my Elfin, double RAM and ROM, and the rest I think are equivalent.

What you can say about the day by day use?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kersey247:
I'm using both the Omnia and Xperia at present, but am prefering the Xperia...

Even though the Omnia has a 5mp camera, the X1 3.2mp is more than sufficent for random pictures, obviously not something you'd take holiday snaps with.

The lack of G-sensor is a blessing, it really annoyed me on the Omnia and usually I turned it off as the screen would change orientation when least expected.

Even though the screen on the X1 looks quite a lot smaller compared to the Omina, the quality is far superior in both touch response, colour and resolution, you can really tell the difference after using the X1 and then going back to the Omnia.

As for speed of use, I'm using the PCTECH WM6.1 custom rom which is amazing. Very responsive, speedy and with NO bugs or crashes I've come across from using for the last 3 weeks. It really does make the Xperia a joy to use.

Using the hardware keyboard is a joy from using the onscreen Omnia keyboard, now I can write so much without typos. My friends now know what I'm trying to say when I text them.

...but there are downsides to the Xperia v Omnia...mainly the sound that comes from the X1's speaker. The speaker quality is awful, the sound is very tinny and quiet. Without tweaking the Xperia to increase the ring volume it's almost unhearable, as for listening to music from it don't even bother, where as the Omnia's speaker quality is very good. It's loud and of great quality.

There also seems to be an issue with video playback on the X1, in that unless you downsize the resolution of the video's it's very choppy, where as the Omina is spot on.

Internet browsing for the X1 is MUCH faster than on my Omnia for some reason too.

Also I like the Xperia as it's more substantial when in your pocket. It's heavier and thicker than the Omnia but at least you know it is in your pocket. A lot of the time I wasn't sure if I'd lost my Omnia from my pocket due to it's slim size and light weight.

It's really what you want out of your phone as to which one to get.

I at present am enjoying the Xperia as my phone of choice rather than the Omnia, it just depends whether the ring tone issue bothers you that much.

Both are great Win Mo phones so either way you're getting a good phone which is highly customizable ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefall!:
I am X1 owner for half a year. The phone is very good regarding functionality and design, however it is rather slow. I am using official R2A firmware, I have read it gets faster with the newest R3A or custom ROMs - haven't tested it. And I must say I cannot compare it to other WM phones since I've never had any. For me it is a very basic requirement to be able to listen to music, have my RSS Reader App open and load a page in Opera and switch between these apps rapidly - the X1 doesn't manage this very well, gets stuck and you have to wait for some time. But as I've said, I don't know about other WM phones and to be honest I don't believe they are so much faster. As for gaming, the X1 is definitely not a gamer's choice. You can play NFS and stuff very well but there aren't so many cool WVGA games. I had big trouble running emulators. PS1 emulator works but with about 2 FPS, GBC emulator is almost well-playable without sound. That's it. If you want a phone for playing games, the X1 is not the right device for you.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
from my opinion, xperia is neaerly a year old. x2 is already coming really soon, well, within the next few months then, furthermore, HTC leo is more powerfull, but most probably lacks a hardware keyboard... so... if I were you, i'd wait a few more moments... look around on different websites to see new phone previews etc. etc. and for games... well, maybe you shouldconsider an iphone 3G, wich, is also a year old and may be much cheaper now, but it let's you play games for dayzzzzzzz

the screen!

dude! dont forget the screen! i cant believe noone mentioned this before!

yea the omnia screen is slightly larger, but the xperia screen has MUCH higher resolution!

omnia is a measly 400x240 while xperia is a whopping 800x480!!

considering screen size/resolution,, the xperia has almost 5 times the res of omnia! pair that with coreplayer and xperia is a hel of alot better to watch movies on!

also the media panel is great, smooth flick scrolling and amazing sound quality add up to a great music device.

go for xperia dude, definitely

although 700 is too much, it goes for 450 now brand new in lebanon.

ehjoy!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkyfin2000:
Hi Guys,

Forgive me as I am a new user of the HTC Hero and I am trying to get in to the Market place. It asks me for a googlemail account, which I put in and my password and then it says it will connect to google and set up (may take 5 mins)

I am connected to my home wifi and all connections work fine otherwise.

It basically tries for a minute or so and then gives me:

"This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer service"

Any ideas?

Rich
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sawkes:
Did you wrote your gmail account under first setup?

You need to go on 3g (atleast in Denmark) first time u log into market, then just go wifi :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkyfin2000:
Yup my username/password in there, I also tried to sign up for a new account and still doesn't work!

Will try and do it via data connection when out and about rather than use my wifi! :)

Let you know how i get on!

Rich
[Hero, G2 Touch General] d0ca:
i had the same problem. only way i could fix it was to do a factory reset of the phone and then right at the very beginning when you are setting it up to enter all the details.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkyfin2000:
Interesting....does factory reset clear address book?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
yup, factory reset clears address book. Obviously you can't back it up to google just now - but you could back it up to an exchange account, or you could use htcsync to back it up to outlook... i'm sure there are marketplace apps to do this also

I had this issue, I skipped entering my google details during initial setup

after the factory reset, I was able to sign into google in the inital setup phase, using wi-fi
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkyfin2000:
frymaster - thanks for this, just need to find out how to do a factory reset now!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkyfin2000:
thanks everyone for their help this has indeed (doing a factory reset) sorted out the issue! Excellent :)

Love hero to bits except for one thing- sometimes, there will be a notification claiming that the SD card has been unmounted. Sometimes it says this on boot, occasionally at just random times. Obv solution is to open the case, pull out the card and pop it back in, which always works BUT is a little annoying.

Is this happening to anyone else? Any possible causes to look out for?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
Never happened to me... maybe a faulty SD card? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Plattendoktor:
I got the same problem with the SDHC-cards i tried.

The HTC service wrote me:

"Sehr geehrter HTC Kunde,

das Geraet HTC Hero muss die Micro SDHC Speicherkarten ganz normal ohne Kapazitaetsbeschraenkung erkennen koennen, aber HTC empfelt die Transcend oder SanDisk Speicherkarten zu benutzen, dann muss es auch klappen.

Bei HTC sind keine Probleme bekannt, dass wegen Betriebssytem werden die Speicherkarten nicht funktionieren."

In english ... try cards from Transcend or SanDisk.

Since i use the stock SD-card delivered with my hero i had no problems and never thought to buy another card. (Im not interested to spend more money when it is not nessecary.)

But you can try it with the card mentioned above if you want. Please tell me your experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chiz65:
I'm just using the standard 2GB Sandisk which came with the phone. No idea what's the cause then, but its not happening often by any means. I've got a couple of other SD's lying around which i'll try if it happens much in the future, i guess. thanks though!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kiz:
This just happened to me. It is an 8GB transcend Card. I brought my phone out of sleep and as I was flicking past the music player I noticed it claimed there was no SD card mounted, so I went to mount settings and it says there is no valid partition and only gives the option of formatting the card!

I rebooted... and thankfully all was fixed, but it certainly startled me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nikomach:
once it happened to me also. What I did was remove sd card and put it back, like you did. I'm using 8gb a-data card
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sausageman:
Not the same issue, and sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I've been having issues with the new SD card i got on ebay. It's unbranded.

When I try and add a lot of music, there seem to be a lot of errors when I disconnect from my pc, and it constantly says preparing sd card. When I restart the phone, it says I need to reformat the card. It is also a bit temperamental when dragging and dropping folders across.

Is this the result of a dodgy card, or common for 8gb class 6 sd cards?
[General Topics] Digital.Diablo:
Hi People.

First off, sorry for not posting this in a specific phone thread, but I believe this is an issue on a range of WinMo devices at different builds.

When travelling around (particularity around Spaghetti Junction in the English Midlands) I often get a message along the lines of:-

I believe this to be dodgy parts of the cell network not doing proper hand-off's to the next one, as its consistent every time I go through a particular area, and I experienced it with my Athena from WM5 through 6.5 and now also experiencing it on my Topaz in WM6.1 and 6.5 IN THE SAME PLACES!

Whilst this doesn't affect me too much as the phone will reconnect somewhere down the road, I get a flupping annoying popup box which goes to the top layer and doesn't seem to clear without pressing the button. This is fine during normal use, but it even appears in front of TomTom meaning that its difficult to see the navigation buttons.

So... Does anyone know of a way to disable this popup box, or at least make it hide itself after say 5 or 10 seconds? I've done lots of searches for a solution, but there's just nothing.

TIA! :D

Is the G2 the same as the Hero or can I flash the firmware to get rid of the Tmob stuff?

Can someone tell me in a nut shell what 'rooting' is?

Is the web'n'walk browser on G2 the same as the original HTC on? I thought it was meant to support full flash but i can't get some things to work?

Can you set individual ringtones and ring volume for each scene?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
Flash apps build targeting the newest flash technology aren't supported. Apparently this will be rectified in October (although when HTC will push this update on to us is unknown, at least it should be available in custom ROMs)

In a nutshell, rooting allows you full control over your phone. Linux systems are built around strict access control policies and the Android is locked to only allow you default user permissions. "Root" is the name of a profile common to all linux distributions, with the highest permissions possible - a super user that can do anything. Rooting your phone allows you access to step your permissions up to root level.

This is useful for doing things that you are normally locked out of - changing core parts of the OS. For now, there isn't much useful to do with it (app2sd is about it) and deleting packaged software from the firmware that you don't want. This will change as Android becomes more popular and there are more interesting things to do.
