Which would have worked brilliantly....had I been able to get to the settings tab in the first place.

With Sense freezing, I had to run the 'change my background' option from 'Getting Started' to get into the Today options and disable Sense. Then use the tips in this thread to get the Settings folder back on my Start Menu. Normally I would have used the All Settings option, but couldn't in this case, and it's funny how much you don't realise is missing from a start menu....until you need it!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashzflashz:
Hi everyone,

I just got my X1 recently. I read alot on forums about the problem of paint peeling off from X1, esp on the edges.

Does anyone have good ways to prevent paint peeling or at least cover the whole X1 body and delay the peeling for at least 1 year?

Does BodyGuardz, InvisibleShield, SGP, Clear-Coat, or even GMask cover the entire X1 body, especially the shiny edges?

Appreciate any comments on the above, thanks:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
GMask covers everything, the rest ~90%.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashzflashz:
thanks rickysio, any idea how much it cost to get X1 done with GMask?

I read in another forum that the GMask in Singapore Bishan Junction 8 had an incident of scratching a customer's phone >_< and initially refusing to admit liability until the customer made a big fuss out of it, does anyone has a good experience with GMasking their phones esp SE X1 ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
(Most) Small shops in Singapore mostly refuse to admit liability. Cause most owners are asshats.

Heard that BodyGuardz covers ~95% however.

I heard that GMask SG charges $39.90. My Xperia is still going about free willy, however. ;D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashzflashz:
Does GMask covers the screen too? I just got for my X1 Martin Fields screen protector, would be a dilemma if i need to remove the screen protector in order to get it GMask >_<

If i add on GMask on top of Martin Field, not sure if it will be too think for the touch screen to work, though that would be 'double protection' :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
You can ask them not to cover the screen. GMask... Hmm, I have conflicting reports from users and the GMask website. One says it only covers the body (consumers) and the other says everything (GMask)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashzflashz:
Thanks for the info rickysio :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brohlin:
I use for my X1i the InvisibleShield. I think it took me about 2 or 3 hours to put it. The apperance changed a lot, is more shinny now (not in a good way). The InvisibleShield come with screen protection also, but the problemm is that the peel is a bit to big (about 0.5 mm in both ways) and this is the reason why on 2 edges is not perfectly sticked.

I also have 2 peels that i didn't have a clue where to put them :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
InvisibleShield is terribly grippy. Had one on my iPod Touch - had it changed a RACEShield, which is a similar product, but was formerly automobile only - it felt way better to the touch.

Both however, had gaps. :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashzflashz:
Has anyone tried using soft silicon cover together with screen protectors? Any downside to this set of protection?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
Aside from added bulk and lint loving silicon being a bad match with pockets, the only drawback would be that some particles could get trapped between the silicon and the case and scratch the hell out of your phone - happened to my 5700. :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelWalker:
Whatever you do don't get an invisible shield. what a piece of garbage from a garbage company
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shey.py:
Then, the avergae suggestion would be to leave the X1 as is and take care of it? I've a got a screen protector, and was wondering about the GMask, InviShield and such products... From Brohlin's and rickysio's experiences, I guess I just made my mind :p
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysio:
Actually I was probably going to GMask my Xperia soonish, but then I found out that I chipped the chrome somehow prior, so I can't be bothered any more.

I just applied a screen protector and stored it in a Oakley pouch. :S
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tot2013:
My X1 is naked. Lol. I really don't care about the wear and tear of day to day use. I love my X1 and its "battle scars!"
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenx1:
Invisible shield isnt a bad company but there prolly are companies that off the same quality for less money. I have it on mine and no problem i also recommend it to my friends.

I dropped my phone the other day and it decides to leave ALL the impact to the upper left corner so now its cracked and shipped :-/

The most important spot to protect is the corner, which i dont thing film styled skins do
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shey.py:
Sorry to hear that mate..

I'll have to agree on that.. however, the other bug rubber skins are so ungodly hideous... Anyhow. I think mine's gonna stay naked for now... I just wouldn't like for the back plate to get scratched.. it just looks so nice :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenx1:
haha i meant "chipped" btw not "shipped"

I really dont want a rubber skin either, they should make a paperthing strong alloy casing lol
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haroonazeem638:
i tried skinomi.

you can get it for $15 using the 25% discount coupon(google it)

its really good. It's same as invisible shield but this one fits PERFECT.

The only thing is that it makes your phone shiny, its not that bad. The back battery cover has that metallish look, but after putting the skinomi, it's unnoticeable and it just looks like a shiny fone.

and have some patience after applying it. give it about 2 days for all the bubbles to disappear. THEY DiSAPPEAR FOR SURE.

I like skinomi. Also, make sure you use a clean dust free environment.

Also, it's really hard to remove it from the screen, once it sticks. so if u plan to remove it some day, make sure u do it very carefully, as u can easily damage the screen while removing it.

Until WM 6.5.1, it was possible to end/kill apps by touching the X-button. I'm talking about the "End programs by tapping X" option on this screenshot:

This option is available in the current 6.5.1 rom i'm using on my Diamond, but it doesn't work. When running the taskmanager, i can see apps running in the background which should be closed. I tried several 6.5.1 roms, but they all have this "problem", so it isn't related to the rom i'm using at the moment.

Is it possible to get this to work on a 6.5.1 rom (perhaps with a 3rd party tool)? I know there are tools that can kill all running apps, but i think it's easier when they automatically ends when tapping the X-button.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dickenz:
It's a known issue with 6.5.1 - There is no way to fix it however Showcase will do what you want plus some more nifty things. You can find it over in development and hacking.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hacker01:
Luckily, holding down the X button will still fully close out the programs. It takes another second to close apps, but it does the job. Showcase is also helpful :]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] God_Lx:
Showcase does what you want, no need to tap and hold, just change the registry key to close on tap.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emresumengen:
Well, which registry key??? You could be a little more informative, I guess.

Watch out, WebKit! Gecko's coming to storm the scene.

As horrid as the test version was on WinMo, I'm not holding out any serious hopes.
[G1 Apps and Games] kilaclwnjuggalo:
whats that like firefox mobile
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
yes.........
[G1 Apps and Games] kevo:
It cant be much worse than the old WinMo version was.

And with webkit generally being quicker than Gecko, and with firefox's main bow of extensions not really having a place on a mobile (with current memory constraints at least), I'm not really that excited.

Here's hoping though!

Opera Mobile on the other hand......
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Opera can just die.

Does it actually work on ANY website? Or is it *absolutely* worthless?

[G1 Apps and Games] f8al:
as am I. considering that the non-selling points of addons in the past was memory constraints, and now with the advent of being able to install the app directly to the sd instead of the phones internal storage through android, this could work out very well.

we'll have to just wait and see :)

I think the key part of your statement was "wimo"... which basically excludes the possibility of anything actually being *good*.

I keep hearing that the Opera browser works on most sites. Well, it doesn't work very well on many sites. I have even Opera 10 with turbo and it is limited. Now the Skyfire browser isn't so pretty but it works on most sites. I hope some of these browsers for mobile get it together.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Opera is a *terrible* browser -- on ANY platform.

From time to time I look at it, but it is cumbersome, and tends to just *not work*.

Honestly I downloaded the official nightly pre-alpha build of Fennec and I'm quite disappointed. For starters the APK is 11mb and installed using CM6 Froyo APP2SD it showed installed it took up 18mb. This is the largest app for Android I've seen yet.

On top of the bloat it won't run at all on my G1. I just get a black screen. Considering Fennec is written for Android 2.1+ and uses the NDK it's probably built like Flash using Snapdragon specific optimizations that are incompatible with previous generation Androids. I'll probably keep an eye on it, but I doubt it will ever work on anything older then the Nexus One.

Hi all.

At one point i changed the date/time on the phone while to alarms was set.

That ****ed something up on the phone so now the to alarm rings every evening at 20:00 and 20:30 even if no alarm is set at all.

Anyone know what to do without doing a hard reset?

Thanks

Hi,

I've noticed that when I get new mail, I get the little mail icon at the top of the screen. I tap and get the notification manager. When I tap on the new mail item, nothing happens. It's just an annoyance because normally I wouldn't bother and just go straight to the inbox, but jas anyone else come across and know of a solution please?

Cheers,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] piannetta:
Hi there,

Just wanting to check in to see if anyone is having this problem.

To recap, when I tap on the notification area and get the list of notifications, if I tap on ANY notification (whether mail, SMS or reminder) nothing happens. All I can do is exit from the notification manager or dismiss all.

Anyone else seeing this please?

Thanks,

Pete
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mwrood:
thats how it is with the stock rom im pretty sure...if you download something called the "topaz notification" it will enable you to do what ur trying to plus go directly to more specific settings directly from the notification manager...i used it on stock verizon...try it out...hit the thanks if it works

Also had that problem. I just figured it was caused by one of the programs I had installed. After removing several programs and resetting the device to default status, I still had the problem.

Does the Tilt 2 have a feature like Visual Voicemail on the iPhone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hchavarria:
It does not out of the box but I have been using an app from Market Place called Fusion Voicemail and it has been working pretting good. Although it there is room for improvement it overall works as expected. When a caller leaves a voicemail, the Fusion Voicemail app will launch and show you visually who left a voicemail, if you click on it, it will launch Media Player and play the voicemessage through the speakerphone. If you need to listen to the voicemail in a more private way (through earpiece instead of speaker) then you need to call the voicemail as you would traditionally. This app will also allow you to receive faxes to your Tilt2 which I thought was pretty neat.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JBabey:
I looked into this and sprint charges 20c a minute for "voicemail" forwarding. I hope googlevoice comes up with a slick windows mobile app soon that will include it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
Is Fusion the only thing currently available?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JoeWilcox:
The best solution in my opinion is Google Voice. Sign up for a beta invite (it took me 2 days to get mine). Once get you in, add your mobile phone. Then set your mobile phone's voice mail number to your Google Voice number. Boom! You now get 100% visual voice mail for free and it kicks ass.

You can have it send you emails or sms. No extra application, no monthly fee. I'm loving it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crachel:
I do this is as well. Set Google Voice to "Do Not Disturb" and be sure to uncheck any numbers you have in "Forwards to". This will only add 1 ring to your existing number of rings before voicemail, which is reasonable.

The transcriptions aren't 100%, but its easy enough to call your GV number and listen so I couldn't be happier with it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jank0023:
+2 This is what I use but I still would like a real google app to support, would be great to integrate into a panel on WM6.5, Manila or SPB 3.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ptgptg:
try youmail. It's free, sends me an email and a text message. You can configure it multiple ways and I can play voicemail through my email or dial the number and listen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JoeWilcox:
Youmail is free as long as you don't want transcription.

still waiting for my googlevoice invite
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
Check your mailbox. Sent you one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
thanks. I took the option of using my own tele number rather than a google number. i don't think I need the other services. I then programmed the google vm access number into my phone so now when I press the VM icon in SPB it takes me to the GoogleVM rather than the ATT provided VM.

So, now I will get text msgs. of each voicemail. This is cool but I was under the impression that I would have a running list of numbers on my phone, numbers of callers in the VM (EDIT: THIS DOES OCCUR IF YOU USE THREADED SMS) and that I could access them individually, in order or otherwise. I can do that but I have to be on my internet googlevoice account to accomplish it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
Yeah i wish there was a native App for this !

Someone please come up with one. :) PLEASE.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] legreh:
Try One Dialer..you can call and sms numbers from your contacts via you Google Voice account
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] legreh:
How do you get the option to use your own number?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
I just want the voicemail portion ... does it have it ?

Actually i just went to see it... it looks horrible... (and their web site is hideous...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
when you sign up it gives you the option of using your original number or taking a google number. The google number is what allows all of your numbers to ring on all phones...home, office, cell, etc.... I don't need that.

GoogleVoice syncs with Outlook so when i get home tonight I will sync it and then the text messages should actually display my known callers (in my address book) by name rather than just number.

Now, what is funny is that I get 5 to 10 voicemails a day, normally. Since I installed GV, my phone has only rung one time and I answered. No voice mails. It is working though because I tested it with a call from my office.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] t69broken:
Google Voice

Man already had Google Voice and didn't do this, set it up and finally visual voicemail.:)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ptgptg:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lowspeed:
They just added this feature like today.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
So, now I am noticing that my voice mail icon does not register VM's when GoogleVoice is handling my VM. I know I have them because I am getting the text msgs. I use SPB MS 3.5 as a shell so I now have to figure out why this is not synching and correct that little twitch.

By the way, the transcription is computer generated and is not accurate, espec. if the caller has an accent or talks fast. I don't really care. Just nice to know who is leaving me a VM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jank0023:
I've had google voice for some time, are you saying now that your google voice numbers IS your cell number? I can have SMS and Voicemails forwarded to my cell number, is that what you mean or are you saying when you signed up for google voice they now setup the account with your cell phone number almost as if you were porting a number?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
I am not even sure I understand what you are saying but you can go to GoogleVoice and there are a couple of FAQ's and some videos which probably can explain it better than I.
