WHY I WILL NOT BUY THE X2:

after being salivating for the X2 quite a lot, I have decided I will not buy it because:

1- SAME ARCHAIC PROCESSOR (528MHz)

Many brands (HTC, Acer, Toshiba...) are releasing 1024MHz phones while Sony is STUCK with a two-years-old processor (???)

2- 8 MEGAPIX CAMERA

Why not include the Idou/Satio 12 MP cam into their flagship ??

I don't like this "get a great camera-phone or a great smart-phone but not both" politics

WHY IS SONY NOT RELEASING A LEADER, KING-OF-THE-HILL PHONE ???

THEY CAN, BUT THEY WANT ME TO BUY TWO PHONES INSTEAD OF ONE ???

nah...

a LEO with keyboard would be DA BOMB

As for oct 2009, and Besides the crappy quality, HTC is da way to go
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well, the quality is a very important factor...
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
the reason why they are using the 8 mp sensor and not the 12 mp is because the 8 mp sensor is better quality, the 12 mp is just the highest mp to keep up with samsung/lg.

because of this mp war the sensor has the most mp squashed into the sensor what looks good on paper (specs) but the picture quality is poorer that the 8 mp camera which is very good (SE C905).
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
just buy a DSLR for awesome pictures, sheesh.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I don't care about megapixels. Just give me a camera that can take good pictures INDOORS. I paid $840 because I wanted a phone that could do it all pretty well, and Xperia is basically useless as a camera indoors.

I think I'll probably have to wait 1.5 years for such a device, however.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
very true. but how i see it is a 8mp camera would be great to have, saves me bringing my digital camera (which will still probably do better pics even though its only 7.2mp) for taking pics when u are going about your daily business, when u are not expecting to be taking pics (as a 8 mp will give great quality) and like u say when u want to take proper pictures DSLR cameras are the way to go.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
agreed. obviously an 8mp sensor would be excellent on the X2, especially if it's as good as they say it is.

We'll just have to get hands-on feedback from any of the members in XDA that actually get the phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well, it so much depends on needs!

For my purpose it's perfect to carry one device with multiple functions

instead of two or more (camera, mp3 etc..).

Today's phones make significant pictures as compared to 3, 4 years ago.

For blogging and documenting your life, it's sufficient or even a bit more.

If you want to be a photo artist but yourself a real camera

with full mechanical optics...
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
One of the reasons why I wont be getting it is that SE seem to treat end users in different countries differently.

Like Korea get top end support, website, downloads and just overall better treatment.

The uk has to settle for a crappy out-of-date site and other countries cant even get the cracks fixed on their X1 as SE wont cover it even though its their fault.

Why cant they offer the same level of support throughout, I can see this being the same for the X2. Another thing is that The X1 will not be able to run X2 panels unless the X1 gets an update, im talking official through SEUS not by having a custom rom or unoffical .cab's. This means officaly there are only a handfull of panels and the handset is well over 12 months old.

NOT FOR ME
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
They actually want you to buy 3 phones. Camera phone (C-series), a music phone (W-series), and a smart phone (X-series).

SE users have been clamoring for a great camera AND music phone for years. But they still intentionally put crappy cameras and camera drivers in walkman phones and crappy speakers and music software and drivers in Cyber-shot phones. Guess what the X1 has? Yep, both crappy camera and crappy music, compared to their other phones.
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
Probably because SE's corporate structure is more bottom-up and devolved rather than top-down and centralized. SE Korea is a totally different company that SE USA or SE UK or SE China.

To think it's an amalgam of a Scandinavian and Japanese giants.
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Someone here at this forum said that the X1 in Korea is as famous as the iPhone here. So that's why they support it there...I mean, all that panels and program cost them licenses...

Still - it sucks and it's a reason not to buy SE anymore. I'm looking for some AMOLED devices now. Samsung is ahead in this technology...
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
... not to mention that samsung is going to release devices with 1ghz omap cpu (codename hummingbird) rather soon. I guess x3 is se's only hope.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jablko:
X3 is supposed to have a larger screen and also the snapdragon processor.
[XPERIA X1 General] mkdeveloper:
hahaha. there actually IS an Xperia Pureness: Xperia Pureness and actually, yeah you could be right - though I think it`s cool that there`s so many possibilities now.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nyirzsij Csuá:
I'm very dissapointed in x2, same outdated spec., same price. Small screen, **** processzor.....
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
still no solid reason to treat the korean market with better support than other regions...does apple release extras to the usa with extra stuff than other regions?

SE will realize their mistake with the x2 next few months...i hated TF3D with a passion, now im seeing the new TF3D UI on the recent devices from htc, and boy that looks sexy, im swaying more to HTC this xmas :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] szlevi:
Are you sure about this? I'm not really blown away by my X1's photo PQ... and I am reading great things about Satio's new 12MP PQ.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
the test models are being sent out, so we will soon know how good the camera is. i know the put a 3.2mp in the x1 instead of the 5mp they had for the same reason.
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
The more stuff they have to cram into the phone (GPS, Wi-fi, CPU, graphics CPU, touch screen, RAM, flash/internal memory) the less they have for a CMOS/CCD sensor. I have no doubt the Satio has a really great camera, because most probably it has a better sensor. An old Sony Alpha 14.1 MP dSLR had a sensor as big as the XPERIA's LCD screen. That one had really great PQ.

Compare the k850 and X1's PQ. Same megapixels, light years of difference in quality.
[XPERIA X1 General] itje:
I made some photos of the x2
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
@itje:

can you please confirm X2 has a 528MHz processor onboard ???
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawfalah:
Hello all

i have found itjes old tf3d dialer. was wondering if anyone can give me the new cab?

thanks
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
cant anyone help me out with this? i went through the AT&T fuze tutorial online yet it still cant connect.

i dont think its because my device is a -82 vs the newer -85 is it? i got this phone with the understanding that the -82 will work but not at full 3g speed. thanks!

ive downloaded/installed the proxy patch 2.1 and att wat medianet and mms cabs...to no avail
[Touch HD General] NotATreoFan:
Is the phone running a stock HTC ROM? If so, just run the HTC Connection Setup Wizard from Start -> Settings -> Connections. It will detect your AT&T SIM, and configure the MEdia Net connection correctly.

Oh, and moving out of ROM Development.
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
yea i have that set with wap.cingular access point and it cant connect still....no usernames or passwords or domains.

this page to be exact

http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&solutionId=KB95893

got up to the proxy part since there is no proxy program thing my t8282
[Touch HD General] NotATreoFan:
When you look at the advanced setting of the connection it created, make sure that under Proxy Settings only "This network connects to the Internet" is checked. "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" should be unchecked.
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
I've used the T8282 on ATT and am currently using T8285. Both worked without a problem. Is the phone detecting your sim card? Is ATT network set-up, but your just showing now service? Look at your phone settings and check to see if a band has been selected ie GSM 1900/2100, auto etc. I don't recall the stock rom as well, haven't used it in 6 months, but if I recall, go to settings tab in manila, select the phone, wifi, internet etc. option, then select phone. You should find an option that says change band. Select it and see what band your phone is set to. If anything, check auto, and see what happens.
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
yes those are done.

if it doesnt detect the sim card i wouldnt be able to call right? i can call. phone functions fine (cant send txt messages though for some reason but can receive).

im looking under settings > phone

Current network: AT&T Wireless

network selection: automatic

band: both network and GSM/UMTS set to auto
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Did you say above that there was no username or password set in the settings->connections->connections? In other words the required username and Pass of Medianet?
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
yes those fields are left blank as per atts support page i linked
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Go ahead and select "manage connections" under Media Net. On the next screen choose edit and go through until you can add the user and pass

All caps

Username: WAP@CINGULAR.COM

Pass: CINGULAR1

I had to fill these in manually when I first received my T8285. My data worked thereafter.

You're configuring your unlocked HD via the set up of a carrier based ATT Fuze. I think may be some of the problem. I configured the settings on mine seemingly a hundred times, but never in the manner suggested by the linked support page.
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
yea i was reading that and just checked this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=447648

and did what you said....no luck

tried wap@cingular.com and wap@cingulargprs.com too

this is stupid. haha shoudltn be this hard. thanks for all the support, i appreciate it

lady at att did say this plan took effective 1.5 weeks ago so even though i called in today to change my plan to a data one...it should be working...

probably be easier if i could screenshot my phone....
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Mine is WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM. Out of curiosity, did you input it in "all caps"?
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
yep tried:

wap@cingular.com

wap@cingulargprs.com

WAP@CINGULAR.COM

WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

my sim card is really old...can that be a problem??

phone should be "dialing" wap.cingular correct?

i wonder if there are problems with my phone because i cant send text messages either and if i go to settings > phone > services tab > voice mail and text messages.... it cant get any info from the network...
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Yes indeed. Mine is two years old. Some that still have the cingular card have had issues. I guess the quickest way to find out is pop someone else's sim in to see if it configures your setting properly. When you go through set up initially, your ATT settings should be populated automatically. I'd like to see you get this working.
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
well my sim card is way beyond that. it was before att changed their name to cingular (and apparently back to att again now). got it when i got the sony ericsson t610 when it was first released...2003???

i wonder if this truly is the problem and i wonder if i take it into a store will they help me out since i have an unsupported phone.

phone when i got it new was able to call right away when i first got it and first popped in this oldie sim...so as far as settings are concerned, its working in that aspect
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
A sim that old could most certainly be the problem. ATT should support you. If it's the sim, then it's a service related issue and not an issue with the device. It may be that you just run by att and have them pop one of theirs' in and see. Another thought, after inputing the username and Pass, are you soft resetting?
[Touch HD General] gsvnet:
I've used this cab on some devices (e.g. xperia) to get the AT&T data to work.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67434&d=1201326345

see if that helps for you. I believe it's designed for the Tilt but shouldn't do any harm on your HD...
[Touch HD General] b-16707:
ok i finally figured this out after going to the att store. it turns out it was indeed my sim card that was keeping me from sending text messages (back in this old thread i started http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=515288&highlight=send+text+messages).

the online issue was due to 2 things. the att lady told me she had added a data plan but turns out when i went to the store the dude there checked and there was no data plan. second was again because of the old sim card.

my sim card was from back in the days of the sony ericsson t610 back in 2003 before att became cingular (and now back to att again).

so hopefully this thread can be future reference for others that may have trouble with their blackstone! woohoo!! i am connected now. feels good to have internet everywhere i go.
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Hi,

I'm trying to root the wifes new G1.

Now I've done this before with my own and now my HTC Hero.

However when I hit power and camera I get a quick message saying 'no image file' before it goes to the rainbow screen??

I have the Dreamg.nbh on the SDcard.

I tried to root using the flashrec.apk but when I type 'SU' in terminal it says permission denied, so I'm thinking it hasn't worked, however it did install Cyanogens recovery.

Confused on how to flash the Dreamg.nbh as I can't get into bootloader.

Has the process changed for cupcake builds?
[G1 Android Development] Teh Dust:
Make sure you format the SD card as FAT32

The cards normally come as FAT and when you format the default option is to format as FAT, you just need to tell what ever you use to format the card with to format as FAT32 or you will get the no image error.
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I did, HOWEVER I have partitioned it in advance as EXT3 and Linux swap in preparation, could that be the issue?
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
ya that's prob it !!!!:D let us know
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Wow... happened to have the same issue being that I bought my wife a G1 today! Solved my problem... whew, this question was right on time!
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
That was it!!!

DON'T partition your card to save time, it costs you more... :rolleyes:

Thanks guys.

Hi everyone...

I've tried to cid unlock my artemis but I wasn't able to do it...

any clues?

When I trie to install a rom (oficial Portuguese 3.14) it gives me Invalid vendor ID...

What could I been doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] raving_nanza:
i had trouble cid unlocking my artemis, i dont know what i did but i done it, this is what i did tho.lol

download Uspl - mine came with these cab files so i installed them on the phone.

''Cert_SPCS''

''EnableRapi''

link to pc and get active sync connection.

run ''start_uspl'' (on pc which opens a dos screen)

phone screen will go off into white or black screen.

(should see a penguin)

after that ''ROMUpdateUtility'' will automaticy start.

*cant remember if you need soft reset or not - think you do so active sync is enabled again, try with and without soft reset!

click through untill it starts to update, your phone will go into bootloader mode showing a usb connection. it will automaticly go into a gray screen with a loading bar.

SPL;1.11.0000 should now be displayed at boot

if this does not work try hard reset on phone and reinstall active sync on pc.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] raving_nanza:
use uspl cmon to flash any rom..

spl 1.11.cmon
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] XirXes:
New thread and update!

I decided a while back that I didn't like some things in PhamQuangs roms so I set about learning to cook. This is the first rom I've created that I was satisfied with. I intend on updating this with the newest com3 builds as they arive. Please post your issues in the comments so that I might attempt to fix them.

I updated it again, cooked in user customization. I also got rid of that awful blue and orange topbar wherever I could. I cant guarantee that UC will work but its worth a shot.

Version 4 loses UC, but customization finishes successfully now. Finished getting rid of MS' terrible color scheme. I probably wont update again till I get Notification and home screen task manager working. The clock now autosets from your carrier. Email setup wizard is now in, plus HTC's animated bootscreen.

Version 5 is now up! I got camera and homescreen taskmanager working. The reason why the phone doesn't restart after customization is because htc's connection setup is broken. To set up your data if the MS one doesn't autostart (I've had mixed results with that one) go to Settings\Connections\Connections and on the first page is a link that says Automatically Configure Connection. Tap that and you'll be golden. Version 6 will have HTC's Audio Manager, as that's my next goal to fix.

Version 6, contrary to my previous statements, does not have Audio Manager. It does however have the volume keys fixed, and HTC's Connection Setup now operates, tho not automatically. I'm not yet willing to claim that its better than MS' but now you have the ability to use either.

Version 7 will be coming soon. Auto connection setup now works. Mega notifications now works, is not mapped to the entire top bar tho. where the start menu used to be it gives the 6.5 default zoom thing. Phone canvas now has its position fixed and its scroll bar is gone. I went down to 23053 and it fixed the dialogue buttons and made poutlook stable. the new message button on the message tab now works. I wanna get this version with all the stuff I want in it so that the next version will just be bug fixes.

Version 7 is now ready to go. I ended up going back to 23060 so I fixed the dialogue buttons and got everything working. Audio Manager works now, as does USB to PC popup. User customization is now cooked in and does make the customization screen take a little longer but is very worth it. If you have issues with customization put this file on your SD card, it should fix it. I'm fairly sure I've gotten rid of the most of the brokenness but please post any issues you have.

I know the homescreen weather doesn't work, it has to do with the way it finds out your location. The attached cab sets the weather to show whats on the screenshot along with the registry info so you can set it to what you want.

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jonrulezz:
are there any bugs? just wondering if its serious i won't flash it...also, is the battery draining fast? what applications are included?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] XirXes:
I don't recommend this as a main rom just yet. Its fast but its missing some stuff and the camera doesn't work yet. As for battery life I've been running it all day and I'd say its doing better than Pham's roms with battery. I plan on working on it more tonight its just that my Opal is my only phone and with all the flashing I've been doing I've missed a considerable amount of calls.

hopfully we can try it tom. :)... wanna c how that is... looks kool... kinda like it makes me wanna stick on touchflo instead of titanium... cuz i mostly use titanium..:)..
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] TheRem:
i tried it... some buttons are missing in the Dialog Box (or i think it's called Message Box) and some of the TouchFLO's buttons are not functioning like in the SMS and settings tab.

tho i like it coz the unnecessary apps like yahoo go, opera, google maps etc. are not included, so storage space is good.

it's also having a hard time connecting with ActiveSync, dunno why... maybe because of the Rom version which is BesFen??? :D

thanks XirXes! :)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] XirXes:
I haven't experienced any activesync issues, either to my desktop or to gmail. Did you HR when you installed?

Is anyone else having issues with the email tab in touchflo? Every time I go to it touchflo crashes, I'll try to fix it tomorrow but I'm tired.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] TheRem:
yes i hard reset... it can connect via ActiveSync but i can't transfer files but i guess it's a PC problem, i'll check it out.

something is very wrong with this ROM this is the sixth time its doing customization.. rests then again it says tap the screen to setup.. going back to old rom!

I'll get rid of its customization, it was there to try to get UC to work but I don't think it does. I had that problem twice but it went away and I ignored it. I'll have version 4 up tonight
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] XirXes:
Yeah, It doesn't work on our phones yet, I might take a stab at mortscript to get it working but its not a priority of mine. I'm gunna make a list of stuff that's broken and put it in the second post so people don't have to flash the rom and realize something they want is broken; and so that I'll have a check list.
