[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
I don't understand why people dislike the TP2 so much in comparison to the X1.

The only true reasons X1 is better:

3.5 mm Headphone Jack

LED Camera Flash

LED Notification

Frontal D-Pad

Looks Way Better than TP2

Optical Joystick that makes scrolling so much easier than with the stylus

The other "subjective" reasons:

Panels are better than Touch Flo 3D

Touch Flo 3D is better than Panels

Similar Traits:

CPU and RAM and ROM

Internal Battery

On the other hand TP2 has:

Bigger Screen

Louder Speakers

Better Speakers

Call Muting

Tilting Screen

Accelerometer

Keyboard and Number Row with Arrow Keys and Ctrl Functionality

FN and CAP Indicators

Zooming Bar

Anyway, if HTC combines both of the Pro's from both devices and atleast a 800 MHz CPU, I would buy it for sure.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fr@:
Ok, up to me actually X2 > X1 > TP2 > TP1

But, I'll introduce a wild card that in my opinion is better than all those abovementioned: Samsung Omnia Pro. Really looking into it when it will be on the shelves.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
its not that i dislike the tp2 but that its almost the same phone as the x1 and was released 6 months after with very few extras and it does not look as good and has some things missing that the x1 has (3.5mm jack etc). i also dont like touchflo but thats only my opinion.

but compared to the x2, the tp2 has nothing that the x2 does not have and the x2 has lots of stuff better (3.5mm jack, 8.1mp camera).

so if you were to buy one of the 4 handsets (and did not own and of the above, maybe if u owned tp1) the x2 would be the best handset by some distance.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
im not saying the samsung omnia pro will be bad but i have never had a good samsung phone (tested about 4 different ones including the tocco ultra).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
TP2 was a downgrade, so X2 is more of an upgrade to the X1, compared to TP2 and TP.

Now to the OT stuff lol:

- yeah, if someone combined the X1 and the TP2, it would the greatest phone ever.

- lol @ Omnia Pro. It is good, but not good enough to be mentioned in the same thread as these devices. Plus, I have had only bad experiences with Samsung devices previously.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
What are the advantages of the X2 over the X1 that can make you buy the X2?

PROS:

1) 8MP Camera (Image Stabilizer, Face Detection)

2) .2 Inches more screen

3) Accelerometer that doesn't support auto rotate

4) Windows Mobile 6.5

5) TV Out

6) Built in XVID support

CONS:

1) Same processor as the X1 (Qualcomm MSM 7200 528MHz)

2) Same amout of RAM (256MB)

3) Still no Hardware Acceleration (no ATI Imageon Drivers..)

4) NO RADIO

5) More plastic

6) Looks less elegant than the X1
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
1. the accelerometer will rotate the x2 in the final version but not of the tile panel. (this probably will come with a option to turn on or off)

2. x1 has hardware acceleration on the panel manager so x2 will have it too. from what we have see so far its likely that the x2 also has the ati drivers too.

3. looks are a matter of opinion.

4. there is more plastic in the x2 but i guess this is because they dont want the signal problems that the x1 has (caused by the metal in the casing).

5. the final version may have a radio (we will have to wait and see).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Well, I can add more cons, byt let me tackle those pros lol.

1 - Anything more than 5mpx is for pro photographers only. You will not notice the difference between 5 or 8mpx. It comes down to the hardware. A good 3mpx camera can shoot better pics than a crappy 8mpx.

2 - Good. I would prefer more, but that's not the point.

3 - Gimmick. I always keep it off on every phone that I had. No use at all for it. Rotates the screen when you DON'T want it too lol. The games are a pathetic notion, because when you turn or swivel, you loose eyesight of the screen, or are forced to tilt your head haha.

4 - We will get that for the X1.

5 - Yup.

6 - I'll reserve judgement for now.

To sum it up. We get the same device with a makeover (looks uglier lmao), they take stuff out (radio) and give us two minor upgrades - 2 inches of screen (who will notice this?) and TV-out (1 out of 20 people uses it twice per year).

I'm on the verge of calling this a downgrade rofl...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
1 - A gimmick.

2 - Conjecture.

3 - I loled.

4 - C'mon, don't try to reason their cheap design ;).

5 - Not relevant, yet.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
SE fail... again. they tried to outperform Apple's Iphone by doing minor upgrades. But they still managed to upgrade more of the hardware than Apple did, and still, Iphone 3GS is more popular because of the minimal upgrades, lol.

Well SE, i would have upgraded if you kept the same X1 formfactor and housing and just added multitouch.... or maybe snapdragon... only one innovation is needed to keep us satisfied, the more is better of course, but X2 seems... just a melting pot of a bunch of devices, wich already seems out of date....

btw, i have a tp2 right now and i love it, so moooooooore responsive then the xperia with the skiniest rom. Actually, i am using a rom with tf3d2.5 and the difference, speedwize, is remarkable. really gorgeous big screen, much greater sound quality, the speaker is also much louder and clear, much better reception, really, i can now make calls eveywhere in my house, where xperia just let me down, down, down.

i'm sorry, i just couldn't help myself bragging about the tp2right now, but it's just so much better.

right....let the flaming begin... Orelsi, you're up first...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I wish you staying happy TP2 user!

No problem. My Xperia basically is great and I read many contrary opinions.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
1. may be a gimmick but its still there and works (the guy said that it was disabled, but its not).

2. most people think the x1 is not accelerated but it is and the x2 more so.

3. i prefer the x1 too but like anything in life people have there opinions (like yours with iphones)

4 it may be a cheaper design but i would rather it be make from plastic if i have good constant signal (at the mo my x1 looses signal every time u go to text what is a piss take).

5. i suppose it depends if u really want a radio or not.

also your point about the 8mp camera is true but i have heard the sensor on the x2 is like the one on the top cybershot phone (C05 i think its called), they did not put there 12mp sensor in what is probably because its not as good as the 8mp sensor. i dont think anyone could complain about having a better camera even if u dont need it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
did they??????

x1 - x2 = same cpu, same ram, better camera.

3g - 3gs = doubled ram, new cortex A-8 cpu (not only running 200mhz faster but the cpu itself is in a different league) better camera.

if u dont know these simple facts its hard to take your opinion seriously.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Well I'll happy of having 8mpx camera on my device.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
I won't complain about the cracks, or the recessed screen, or even the slow speed (especially video playback, otherwise its good enough). I mean every device has it's own pros and cons. I like my X1, but what I am most dissapoinded in it, is the keyboard. I bought this device for his qwerty keyboard, and it is not very convenient. Ok than I can get used to it, but it started to have keys which need to be pressed really hard to get the letter from it. And that is really annoying and make my KB much slower for writing.

So how do you find your X1 KB? Do you have the already standard KB problem - some buttons needs to be pressed hard, other just get the double letter?

Do you find the TP1 and TP2 keyboards more convenient? Anyone testing omnia pro (the sliding version)?

In the end I'll either clean the KB by myself, or take it to SE for warrany (once the buttons stop working at all). But you know I had a custom SPL, so I need to revert this too. And I've spent more than $800 for this device.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
No issue for me with my X1: no cracks: no double letters, no need to press hard on keyboard

The only issue: when I press on one key of the keyboard, it take a little time for the letter to appears on the screen... (sometime, the last letter of a word become the first letter of the next word...)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_TLS:
One of the things that steered me toward the X1 was the hardware keyboard, but I hardly ever use at all. It's like brand new. :)

I'm glad I don't rely on it judging by some of the posts on here with all the drama it can cause.

Installing the xt9 software and using sktool to make it the default after a reboot etc more or less made my hardware keyboard redundant. Occasionally I'll use it, but not often.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
It is perfect for me. Works flawlessly, never had any issues with it, very convenient and comfortable.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargoyle_g45:
I had the same problem.

some keys needed to be pressed real hard, while others place 2 letters.

So i went back to the store.

First time they cleaned the inside.

still...

Second they replaced the KB and the cabel that connects it to the processor.

still..

third time they send it to Sony ericsson, where multiple parts we're replaced.

still..

at that moment i got took a insurance at the store, this was possible because it was testes bij SE.

and with this insurance, i got a new one from the store^^

so my problem is solved.. for now..

i have had the keyboard problem on 2 of the 3 x1s i have had. hoping when mine comes back from repair it is sorted. although the keyboard is very annoying and slows writing down alot, its the cracks that really rune the x1 as a phone (in the sense that even if u get it fix its very likely to crack again. every times this happens u have to send the handset back to repair which take 2+ weeks).

I also had the kb problems... at first it is only the space bar... since the space bar is long.. i cannot trigger the space bar efficiently using my right hand.. sometimes it double taps and sometimes it doesn't tap... so i switch to pressing the spacebar with left hand...

then the "." key.. most often times it double presses... then i lost my phone...

(guess what) i still bought an x1... :) as of 1 week. the kb still doesn't show up..

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_legaspi:
when i first got my phone and started to use it, i was really dissappointed with just about everything... but in the end, it turned out to be a pretty good phone.

i was looking to get the tp2 for its bigger screen but i dont think i would like it without the scroll pad. plus i didnt want to buy another phone with just a bigger screen and same specs.

in the end... no need to upgrade when the x1a that i have is doing everything that i need it to do.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel the boy:
i have the exact same problem...

my only 3 keys that seem to get...stuck all the time are the I O P

sometimes even the backspace, it does get annoying, and plus if i get it to go at one hit..it would double the letters...

i guess its time to change to the x2 :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel the boy:
where do you get it repaired btw? its just that i bought my phone in indonesia unlocked, it has its warranty and everything, but i'm in canada now...do you think a carrier would want to take in that warranty?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicman:
I had the kb problems after 6 months of use as well, double/triple letters and keys were needed to be pressed harder to register. Had no warranty to get it fixed so I worked around it by installing the XT9 software.

Learned to type with the tips of my thumbs rather than at the base so the keys registered and the double keys issue was taken away because of the predictive txt. So I'm happy with my X1 despite it's kb problems hehe
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arowanasilver:
I had the same problem at day 1 I received the phone. At the beginning space bar not responding if I pressed at the center, left thumb press space works fine. Weeks later, fn key and caplock started crazy. I regret sold away my TP getting this useless phone :mad:

2 weeks ago really can't live with it, so send to SE and within an hour new keyboard replaced. It works very smooth, I guess it is the new batch key pad so I would recommend you send back ask for kb replacement.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
Thank you man. Maybe that's the best thing, to give it back to SE. All I have to do is to replace the SPL with the original one. And be ready to wait. Btw how much time did it took for SE to fix this problem in your case?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierGr:
I couldn't agree more with the topic starter. I bought this phone mainly for its keyboard, only to discover that this is the most dreadful part of the device.

After 3 months of usage the keyboard started to miss or double register keys. I was furious about it but fortunately I found this very helpful keyboard cleaning guide and now my keyboard is as good as new (only time will tell for how long though).

Don't get me wrong though, even with the keyboard behaving correctly it is still a pain to use it, because it is quite unintuitive. Keys don't have the proper feedback and the top row is quite problematic to type to.

Overall though I like my X1 and having in mind that the dreaded Qualcomm SoC is still being used on newer Windows Mobile phones, I am not motivated enough to upgrade to something else.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limlin:
The unintuitive keyboard is almost the common problem of sony ericsson phones. I wanted to get a SE phone and then I searched the comments about SE. Most comments are about the keyboard. When you click and it will react after a few seconds. It's terrible when writing a message....So I got HTC. But sony ericsson phone is good at media functions really.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifsrob88:
I must admit when i received my X1 I loved it. Then there was a kb problem. The reason I bought my X1 is because I lost my Fuze on a business trip. I had the same kb problems and eventually gave the phone to my wife. I ended up getting another Fuze (TP1). One of the best keyboards is the TP1. I will be getting the TP2 soon and not the X2 because of my disappointment.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelWalker:
I have no idea what you guys are talking about the x1 keyboard is amazing, it's so fast and easy to use with convenient shortcuts. the only thing it lacks is arrow keys, but i just use the dpad for that and there's no problem.

i dunno wtf you guys are talking about "unintuitive" have you ever used a keyboard before? it's a frigging qwerty keyboard what do you want from them?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquestar.7:
Seems like I spoke too soon...

I loved the phone when I forst got it, and any software issues I had could be fixed thanks to the people on this site, but now, less than 2 months with the phone and the keyboard's giving me sooo much trouble. It honestly is a pain to type now. The list of keys that are troublesome now includes:

1. spacebar

2. period

3. questionmark

4. backspace

5. I

6. O

and growing by the day. Interesting to note they're all on the right side.

And like most other X1-owners, the main reasons I chose this phone was because it had a physical keyboard and because I thought SE stuff was good (first time it's letting me down). Definitely not getting the X2 now.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
The same thing here :( I will not risc with SE anymore. Now I must send my X1 to service for kb replacement. I hope everything will go smooth, but I'll be with no phone for some weeks (at least one).

SE support.

Huge marketing presentation for the panel interface and zero development.

SE relied on programmers to build panels instead of providing people with new ones.

When people didn't develop them due to difficulty, SE should have gotten their act together and developed some.

What makes the X1 different from other winmo phones?

Not much aside from panel interface.

I still enjoy my device but I'm dissapointed with weak ROM upgrades and no 6.5 on horizon for X1.

Unless you did a Nandroid backup or some other method of backup prior to flashing Hero, your previous settings, app preferences and data, and stuff of the like are gone. If you have Apps2SD, the apps themselves should still be there. Contacts, Calendar, etc. are saved in Google usually.

Soft reset and the old autocomplete that we all know and love is back, e.g. a small box with all the suggestions.
