[P3600 General] L1ndon:
I got this error message a few days back, and I've tried everything I can find on the forum (re-flashed Rom - Radio changed camera.exe etc - taken battery out for 15 mins tried it with no sd card) - it seemed to start when I changed from Schaps Rom to new 6.5 Rom

Has anyone ever successfully fixed this? Is it most likely hardware (as Ive re-flashed everything else?)

If its hardware then fine - just wanted to check in case there is a solution that I can't find on here

All help appreciated,

Lindon

Hey all,

I am pretty anal and are always clearing my SMS inbox, on my old Nokia I could sort messages into folders so I would have one for important messages that I could put them in and not delete by accident while having a clearout. Is there any such functionality on the Hero either with or without an app?

Thanks

Russ

The following app is able to backup SMS messages to Gmail (It's free)

Also, if you do a search with keyword 'backup' in Market, you would find a few apps which could backup your data (more than just SMS) into SD card.

its real ,and he hits the week points of SE
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
"Real innovations have been substituted by dreams. As a consumer I'm offered rapidly aging and overpriced phones that have no future on the market under the guise of 'state-of-the-art solutions'. Another manifestation of the company's dishonesty was when Sony Ericsson tried to persuade me via weak PR and advertising that these were marvelous products."

end quote.

Well, this guy is nailing it! Spot on! Dishonesty is the right word. Persuasion and promises without any real world backing.

"oh looky looky the X1 with the AMAZING panels that are going to change your everyday live" - oh yeah, it's one year after that and there are a handful of them. I haven't used any of them in months.

"oh looky looky the X2 is simply amazing cutting edge device with the fantastic tile panel" - oh yeah, very amazing with the pathetic old hardware and the annoying panel that is nothing more than a gimmick and is impossible to use on a daily basis.

Haha...
[XPERIA X1 General] ncee:
Damn!! This guy's got it spot on!

@nevermind: What was that u said, SE won't be phased if they loose me as a customer? Reality check, u guys are loosing it.

Imagine a current X1 user upgrading to a X2 and realising a couple of hours down the line that he just bought a re-glorified plastic encased X1 with an 8mp camera. lol

I really digged SE but as of late I've, and apparently more SE fanbois really felt as if though we've been cheated with the X1.

So, whatcha gonna do?
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
With have been cheated with the X2 not X1. Also, nevermind =/= SE.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
the thing is how much we are annoyed with the x2, there is not any good phones coming for wm in the foreseeable future and the more i look the more i thing the x2 is the best looking most functional (with its keyboard) and although it lacks the cpu of some devices like the htc leo, the htc devices are so ugly i would never buy it.

it seems that if i get a x2 as a free replacement for my x1 i will be happy but if i dont i am happy to keep my x1 for now as the rest of the wm phones are not as good overall.

i dont really see the need for wm6.5 on the x1 as i have used both and dont think 6.5 is that much better but a r4 firmware update with the new drivers would be nice (although mine x1 is now tuned to be super fast and smooth apart from some games and videos).
[XPERIA X1 General] Hannigan174:
Keep your X1, I wouldn't bother with X2. I find it a little insulting (at least if the reports of its pricing are true).
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
lol. i did say i would only get a x2 if they give it to me as a free replacement so it really does not matter how much sony decides to sell it for.
[XPERIA X1 General] hyellow:
Major anouncement: Sony Ericsson renamed x2, to x1.5!!1
[XPERIA X1 General] sx1-doc:
lol where you get that???

xperia 1.5....

why not 1.8 for the 8 mpx camera.

haha sounds funny

look here

[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
lets try not to be childish
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
Please provide proof and links!!
[XPERIA X1 General] hyellow:
it obviously was a sneer to SE. Not real! but seriously, if they really called it x1.5 , i would consider buying it, because it'll probably be the only phone to have such a model name/number. And perhaps, x2 is not worth the x2 name, because of the minor improvements over x1. But..... x1.5 was just a joke, c'mon...
[XPERIA X1 General] paul c:
I spent a few years with SE's UIQ phones, and a similar thing happened there. Since Sony Ericsson WAS in practice UIQ (apart from one Motorola I think), not only did they terminally underspec the UIQ terminals, they actually killed the UIQ interface, which was a real shame, since it was a very stable and efficient phone OS.

Déjà vu...

If you look at the UIQ forum on my-symbian.com, you will see similar complaints, letters published to CEOs etc. There must be some serious disconnects in SE for this to happen with their flagship range(s).
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
It's called greed. Also, providing as little as possible and pricing it like a NASA prototype...

...and the poster with the 1.5 was OBVIOUSLY joking...
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
I hope sony respond positivley to this letter and turn their act around
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
When has an Internet campaign lead to anything? All these letters, petitions and campaigns are utterly pointless.

The only exception is the bringing back of Jericho, but is just the exception that proves the general rule. Plus, they annoyed the TV execs with the real world sending of nuts and other stuff. Maybe we should send something to SE. Hm... something smelly perhaps?
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Well its their loss - we only want to help >.<
[XPERIA X1 General] Stalix:
Do you guys really believe they will ever exchange a broken x1 for an x2? I highly doubt it. I would love to get a x2 that way but i think it will never happen.
[XPERIA X1 General] Chaosstorm:
Well maybe they will, if the x1's keep falling appart or have other weird issue's like mines that turns blue'ish when sliding open.. the screen cable gets a bit loosy when i slide it open. ( its already been in repairs once for that issue but back then it went off instead of turning blue.. )
[XPERIA X1 General] ncee:
...aGREED!!
[XPERIA X1 General] nevermind:
OMFG, another pathetic letter, same as many before. Such people should really get:

a) a life

b) laid

c) choose another brand which gives them what they want and are probably missing at SE. Saves also much time than writing pathetic letters. In fact, they don't need to write it anymore, just COPY&PASTE it..

/OMFG
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
^^^ lol agreed 500%.
[XPERIA X1 General] ncee:
that's why I'm choosing option C. who else are willing to vote with their wallets?
[XPERIA X1 General] nevermind:
I don't still quite understand what they want to achieve with writing a letter. So, they are disappointed with SE. OK, that happens, life is full of disappointments. So they will likely change the brand (most people are addicted to the fetish SE<>Nokia). OK, that happens. But hell, when you change the brand, WHY do you feel you need to write such pathetic letters? I wonder what's going on inside their heads. Do they think that CEO will cry after reading such pathetic letter and beg for not leaving for another brand? Oh c'mon. In my whole life, I've NEVER experienced such pathetic people. I've been using Nokia, Samsung, Siemens, HTC, Ericsson, Sony, Sony Ericsson.. But for example when Siemens was in really deeeeeeeeeeeep sh*t, nobody felt like they must write letters. I feel this is like a virus, among SE users. Honestly..

Don't like SE? Fine, leave and choose much better brand. But please, have mercy and spare us from such pathetic letters.

Oh that reminds me of people who want to commit suicide and they call the police, 911 and say "please come, I'll commit suicide"...

Now I should cool down a bit and go meet my friends, who are at least normal.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
well said.

reminds me of children that cant get there way.
[XPERIA X1 General] PoisonWolf:
nevermind,

I think when you have 100,000 (and quite possibly more, much more) people who turn to you for advice pertaining to cellphone technology, it gives you that much bigger of balls to write such letters. He has the potential power to sway tens of thousands of people away from SE. Think about it.

But say, someone like yourself: whiny, ignorant, and a nobody (who feels the dire need to cuss out on someone who is trying to help SE users behind his back inside a forum). You see, if you wrote a letter, then what you said would have applied.

So until you have that kind of status in the cellphone world, why don't you keep your "OMGWTF-WHY-DO-PEOPLE-DO-THIS"-comments to yourself? Because as I've said, you're a nobody.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X1 General] nevermind:
I am working for SE actualy. So yeah, I do not have that kind of status in cellphone world as somebody from an internet magazine. That is so correct.

If he has power to sway tens of thousands of people away from SE, why doesn't he do it? I am sure that if there are tens of thousands unhappy people buying products from my company, they can leave for another better brand. Where is the problem?

I mean all the time - "you don't like it? Fine, then choose much better brand than SE. But please spare us the pathetic letters"

And as also said, such people are only around SE users. Have you ever heard of similar pathetic letters to Siemens, Benq, Nokia, Samsung, Alcatel, Sagem,...... etc? Never. Sometimes I feel that SE products are sold to whiny people, or to be more exact, whiny people buy them

By the way, such letters started to appear after X1 was released. And trust me, there were worse phones than X1 (like S500, C702,.....). So it seems to me that few "wanna be geeks" bought an X1 and realized it's too complicated for them. Now they are trying to blame others.
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
I'm going to get the leo for my next phone unless sony get its act together in time for a X4.

Nevermind the x1 isn't too complicated, it's the lack of support, few panels, ages before firmware updates and the default interface wasn't very aesthetically pleasing. For a £500 purchase (i bought sim free) i expected something a bit more.

Don't get me wrong i love my x1 it fits my needs now due to the people here at XDA developers but the x2 seems to have not improved on the x1 which im slightly disheartened by :(
[XPERIA X1 General] safdl:
I like your enthusiasm mate, you work for the firm so your obviously backing them up.

A few things you need to bear in mind though....

The stock X1 is ****!! fact. XDA forums have made is useable/bearable.

They single handedly kept the phone appealing through their hard work and dedication to tweaks and apps.

Sony havnt done anything, in all the fw releases hardly anyone has noticed anything major thats changed.

Incase you didnt know whats wrong with it heres a small list.

Cracks in the case

****ty slider that gets loose easily

Ultra **** camera, point, go make a brew and then it snaps

****ty keyboard (good concept but the keys are sticky, you cant really type fast as some keys need to be pressed hard and others soft)

Poor video

Poor sound

Speaker on the wrong side

Standard UI

3/4 of all developers have spent an eternity on making TF work on this phone....why you may ask??? because the UI is ****.

Panels feature - useless... by the time you open a panel you can open a link in your browser (so some panels)

Buggy panels

I could go on and on.

Good thing about the phone

---------------------------

It looks fantastic, feels quality. Had a flash and on the face of things we assumed a decent camera which later turned out to be wrong.

I think users have a right to be pissed off at sony, if i paid 500 pounds (half a months wages for a substandard phone id be pretty cheesed off too.

Does writing letters help?? you never know, if you create a storm then these kind of things get put into monthly management meetings and somebody does get a kicking for it. But whether it creates enough interest remains to be seen.

Rant over!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] maherladsak:
my opinion on x1 issue

I dont see any problem with the phone at all. Focussing on X1 I(not on the letter, ok), then heres my opinion.

We people seems to be never get satisfied. We even think that cooking ROMS will make the x1 usable. Its already usable, and its windows. What else would we expect from it, it cant give us magic. Cooked ROMS are just buggy as hell. Have you seen cooked ROMS (tested by many) of less than 50pages? none. because of the never ending bugs and unresolved issues. Some even says, the original ROM is pretty faster with only minor and right tweaks, and m one of those. If you will just accept the fone as it is, then its on its perfection i guess. But because we know we can tweak them, then we tried, and its where all the issues starts. Can we do this with others phones? NO. and since we know we cant, so we just accept the others the way the maker delivers it to us.

Cracks in the case

'thats answered to newer releases. http://forum.xda developers.com/showthread.php?t=536186

****ty slider that gets loose easily.

of course, all phones with moving parts can never stay as intact as it used to be after several use. besides, people dont keep phones perhaps in 2 years. long enough. or buy brick type.

Ultra **** camera, point, go make a brew and then it snaps

huh, its 3.2, its taking decent pictures. what do you expect from it? ultra fine pictures?

****ty keyboard (good concept but the keys are sticky, you cant really type fast as some keys need to be pressed hard and others soft)

i doubt that. its every ones preference after all.

Poor video

its already VGA, lets not shout for more.

Poor sound

fine. but you can always choose sounds that plays loud enough. I use WAV file for my alarm. and its waking up my flatmates.

Speaker on the wrong side

I dont think so, in fact, this is one of the few SE phones that utilizes the side part of phone for	speakers and not the typical back part as the later always gets blocked when placed on flat surfaces or	even on your pockets.

Standard UI

even TF3Ds still can never fully facelift winmo. lets just accept it. its windows. and will always be.
[XPERIA X1 General] Mopral:
Yes it is VGA but I think that MP4 would have been a better choice than 3gp...

But it is just my opinion...
[XPERIA X1 General] PoisonWolf:
nevermind,

So people like you are the ones who work for SE.....that explains a lot. Alright then, thanks, at least now I know why things are the way they are now.

That explains why your rationale for everything thus far has been more ad hominem than anything else (if there was even any substantive base to begin with).

I'll put it up front right now, the way SE handled the creation process of the X1, without even properly testing it (never ending cracks), makes me wonder if you guys even test the phone for more than 5 minutes at a time per person.

Why take the rash road when there the first step is to obviously try and see if things can get better? If everyone thought like you, our whole damn world would have gone into World War 3 by now.

Way to go man. Way to support your company! Way to give a good impression here as to how employees in Sony Ericsson value their customers!

Please, in the future, try not to get so butthurt when someone says Sony Ericsson is a pile of manure. Okay? It's just one person's opinion. If you don't like it, don't read it. Please spare us your pathetic complains as though you're all that.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X1 General] emuneee:
I used to work for SE. To be honest, there are some really, really talented engineers at Sony Ericsson. I think the issue is (or was) on the management and portfolio planning side of things. But seeing how they cleared everyone out (NA VP, CEO, etc.) I wouldn't be surprised if SE started making some really cool things again. The talent is there, it justs take some bold people to really make something innovative.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Anybody who wants to write letters to SE - let them do.

Their right of expression.

If somebody feels cheated - one's own right.

But I don't think that *****ing about nevermind here makes any sense.

Do you really think he's responsible for all the bad?

Bull****.

PoisonWolf

Man I uderstand you're unhappy,

but you sound exactly like a hurt baby,

I mean so much effort to use all the differet fonts to show your anger

to a wrong person?

And I also agree - X1 out of the box is absolutely user-ready.

At least in my case.

I'm not saying that SE is all fine,

no,

but I see so much crap from other companies....

And even more.

It could be endless *****ing...

I think that Eldar's letter is his subjective moaning.

In intelligent form he acts like a great market analytist - laugh.

He's not.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Both of you guys have points, but neither whining, nor insulting would help. Writing letters is useless, but so is SE's customer servive.

X1 - Great.

SE's support for the X1 - Sucks.

X2 - Sucks big time.

Yes

No

No

Haha NO

Yes

Yes

Um... The problem is that there is only one speaker, not its location.

Huh?

Yes

No

Yes, if you want to use it only for calling...
[XPERIA X1 General] PoisonWolf:
D,

Don't get me wrong, this is not redirected anger. This is not even anger at all.

He calls out extreme rude things (a person who writes letters like this needs to get a life, etc) to a person who is trying to help the people who still have faith in SE. To make matters worse, he works in Sony Ericsson himself. How saddening and pathetic is that?

He shows no professionalism, acts like a complete douchebag and is even arrogant to a point of even indicating that he has influence in how SE handles their business. Look below.

If he even had any real power/say/influence over SE, he wouldn't even be in this forum right now, would he?

And for the record, I'm not unhappy with SE. I don't even own an Xperia. I just feel really bad for the many people who suffer with the issues of the phone (SE screwed up on the physical design, in terms of structural integrity, of the X1 and they want the consumers to swallow for it). What I disagree with is how someone comes here and verbally assaults a person behind their back as though he knows better. If he really disliked the purpose of the letter, he could have e-mailed Eldar Murtazin himself rather than coming here and acting like a teenage drama queen and trying to rally people in a fan club.

At least he's doing something. How about you? Sitting here and acting like you're the better person? Get over yourself.

Good day.

P.S. Choosing to write with emphasis is no crime. Just because the majority doesn't do it doesn't mean I'm putting a lot of effort into my writing. Get your philosophy logic right before you come at me again.
[XPERIA X1 General] nevermind:
Oh right, backing them up. So, m8, go through all my previous posts. I did NEVER backup SE. Yeah I work for them, but hey, there is something like freedom of speech and freedom of thinking. So go through all my previous posts in here (not just this topic) and you'll see.

And right, as always.. Stock is ****, custom is always better. So yeah, me and others are using just **** and they use it as a toy. Hm wait, I was satisfied with my stock 6.1 ROM and with my stock 6.5ROM. I use my device for work, not playing and changing ROM every day.

So you can blame me for anything, except backing SE up. Cheers ;)

PoisonWolf: really, this is too funy. You're ridiculous. Seriously. Probably you don't understand my English, as you're writing total nonsense and replying to somethign I did not say. Making things up. It's no problem to me, you can write it down again in German, no problem for me. Or if you want, I can write it in German to you again, as you don't seem to understand written English, what I wrote in English. Ich kann es auch in Deutsch schreiben, als es besser fuer mich, dich und uns alle hier wird.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Oh please. Are you telling me how I use my device?

My device out of the box on stock works very well,

on many things. Quite heavy usage.

So don't make things up.

Weren't you saying you don't use custom BTW?
[XPERIA X1 General] paul c:
I personally don't feel the X1 is a bad phone. A custom ROM resolves 99% of problems.

If I were to design it, I would go for VGA resolution, can't be bothered watching movies on such a small screen. For me VGA uses the screen real estate much better. Video reproduction? See previous comment.

Plenty of memory, (2nd production batch) reasonably well made. OK SE could have gone the extra mile to put a g-sensor, capacitative touch screen tea-maker etc, but every device is a compromise.

SE Customer service? You must be crazy to use it. Everything from ROMs, fixes to applications designed by the community, is right here.

Anyway, the letter linked to post one is a poorly written, generalistic whine fwiw. How do you think a CEO would react to something like that?
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
How about me?

I help here as much as I can.

As for SE letters I just think it's not working,

that's it.

My philosophy is logic, you're just emotional.

As for Eldar, especially, I have a great distance to his "work",

especially seeing his particular connections with some manufacturer.

So the letter from him I treat like that.

It's not a really good work.

Vote with your wallet.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Express your thoughts clearly next time.

You said "user-ready", which means a device with all the programs pre-installed and ready-to-be-used. WinMo needs 50+ apps to be called that.

Now, what you meant is "user-friendly", which means a device that is fast, smooth and bug free out of the box. Yes, I use the Generic ROM, because it answers those points pretty well (with some minor tweaking).

So, next time, before accusing me of "telling you how you use your device" and "making things up", review your own posts and think if they represent exactly what you want.

For a person claiming that "my philosophy is logic" your vision is quite clouded. Spite maybe?
[XPERIA X1 General] Raith:
It amuses me the SE fans saying move to another company if you dont like us.

X1 was made by HTC for SE as they could not do it them selves, then they rebage it and add a UI and say its there work.

X1 support has been crap as stated by most users on the forums of all HTC using site and only reason we have the phones we want from the X1 is the HTC forums ROM builders. TO them I have to say a big thank you.

X2 makes me lol so much, SE have taken the X1 given it to 2 companies in partnership that at the beginning of the year looked as if they were going to fold and asked them to make it cheaper that HTC. The only interesting part was them getting a new camera for the X2.

I know poeple will see that I am only a resent member to posting and probably rip into this but I have follow the industry for many years having own many phones and pda listed on the forum and many not. I also an IT and electrical engineer and have work for Siemens for past 8 years and as a company that made huge mistakes on phones SE need to get its act together, one bad highend phone can have big issues.

Any truth (aimed at SE workers) that the X3 is being built by HTC again due to SE thinking X2 will fail even before launch.:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well, I thought we have some obvious things here on forum.

There's probably no user ("power user") who does not install tons

of software to enhance the device's abilities.

So, it's pretty much identicall on all platforms.

So I was referring to claims that "X1 stock is crap" out of the box:

meaning buggy, slow etc. compared to cutom.

What, I said is not true IMO and apparently IYO too.

My "logic" sentence was actually pointed to PoisonWolf.
