[XPERIA X1 General] paul c:
This thread reminds me of those late-night talk (shout) shows, where a subject is chosen which has no solution, and provides plenty of controversy. :D

My 2 cents: I bought the X1 mainly because of the support available - on this forum. Acceptable hardware/features/ergonomics out of the box - still. Add a custom ROM, and it becomes a very good package. Definitely no implied commitment from SE to upgrade OSs into perpetuity. Thinking about the cracking cases, well SE apparently fixed that early manufacturing problem - as you would expect any company to do.

Phones have an exceptionally short lifecycle, so in order to keep sales going, SE and all other manufacturers have to build better (= more saleable!) terminals - that is where their focus has to be. Beyond the statutory guarantee, there is no further commitment required, or given.
[XPERIA X1 General] timi22666:
when SE announced X2 with WinMo 6.5 i never expected them to give x1 a 6.5 upgrade because it basicly the same phone it just looks different if they gave x1 a 6.5 upgrade then all you have to do is go on ebay get X1 for $350 upgrade it and you basicly got the same phone so if SE actually wanted to make any profit of x2 they would never give x1 an upgrade + x1 never actually made enough money anyway by the time it came out anyway why you people complaining for because when you bought the phone,it said you where getting WinMo 6.1 i never heard anyone promise me a WinMo 6.5 and yes you can make it as fast it shows in the video maybe even faster just go tweak the stupid thing.
[XPERIA X1 General] vynz:
Just my 2c

When I took the plunge and spent £500 on by brand spanking new Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 early on this year I could not have been happier thinking about the amazing piece of technology I had just acquired. Happy thoughts ran through my mind of many years of blissfully reading and replying to emails, surfing the net, texting, chatting with my mates sipping Malibu on the beach watching the sun go down. This is what I expect when I spend as much as a new laptop on a mobile phone. Call me naive but this is what i have become accustomed to from my Nokia 6820, my Samsung i320 and my HTC Touch Diamond.

Alas! It was not to be! The X1 proved so slow, the panels were useless, it was touch unfriendly, it was slow, it hung all the time, it was slow, it was hard to use, it was not well made and it was slow. Then i put it away for a month while i went back to my Diamond, and when i was ready for it again, the keyboard wouldn’t work.

It is quick to blame SE for this state of affairs, but it is the way all mobile phone companies are going. In the mad rush to develop, phones are released full of bugs and underdeveloped. It is expected that the customer would just accept the short comings and live with it, and in most cases this happens. I have come to expect at least 50% of a newly released handset to not work well. However, and this is a big however, some people actually buy a ‘high end’ phone to actually use its features and not just brag about megapixels and horoscope applications. It is we, everyone who comes to xda-developers who suffer the consequences of the general lackadaisical attitude of the majority of the phone buying public.

As such, we rely on this little community to support each other where the manufacturers, in search of more profits and the need to get the next model out quickly, let us down. Quite frankly there is NOT ONE phone company besides possibly apple that actually supports its customers adequately, although that in itself is subjective.

What I have learnt is to forget brand loyalty, because they don’t care about you. Don’t adopt early, those are the suckers that the phone companies try to catch out. Most importantly don’t expect too much, pay accordingly, and you will be happy.

I in the meantime have gone back to using my trusty Diamond and will probably be purchasing a used HTC Touch HD2 next year or so when the price I pay will allow for 50% of it not working well.
[XPERIA X1 General] writinggirl:
Funny, I had a similar history, coming from the Diamond. But in my case, the X1 gave me that little extra I was missing on the Diamond. However, the first thing I was getting rid of was the panel manager as it just didn't fit into my user profile. Instead I was using SPB and it just works like a charm. Fluent, fast, trouble free, resources saving - hey, I use it for aviation navigation and it never lets me down. Also my special ERP apps. Compile, run, use WiFi, done. No strange things, no errors, no black screens, it just does exactly what it is supposed to be doing. One of these rare "mission accomplished" devices.

Yepp, X2 might be this or that, it is new, (it has a better form factor) but I don't live on "new stuff" all day, I live on "working stuff" and 6.5 for me doesn't offer more functionality nor more stable resources, it is - in my way of looking at it - just another GUI so why mess with new errors?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Hunter_I:
Hi All,

I did some search, but it seems there's no Error 270 topic for a Touch Diamond. And surprisingly that's the problem I have. Here's the deal.

For a whole duration of the day I've been trying to upgrade to 2.03 ROM, which would my first ROM upgrade. I tried the ROM from the phone's importer site, the HTC site, xda site, all lof them with the same result. After the RRU reaches 100% the mobile goes to Tricolor with "Upgrade ROM code error" message and the RRU shows says Error 270.

I searched the forum and saw that some of the people suggested to burn different HardSPL versions, so I tried burning the 2.03 with various HardSPL versions, 1.24, 1.30, 1.93 are the few I remember, there were more, both signed and unsigned, the last is SPL-1.93.OliNex unsigned -> all of them installed nicely, with a clean reset after them but the following upgrade to 2.03 failed every time the same way, Error 270, as usual.

I use an original USB cable and an XP OS that, at the moment of RUUing, runs nothing but the RUU.

By the way, I also tried doing the upgrade from the internal storage. I renamed the ~100MB file to the name specified in the Noob Guide (DIAMIMG.NBH) and put it at the root of the storage device, but the bootloader gray screen says no image found (or something similar and goes directly to trying to find a USB host).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Hunter_I:
OK an Update (for whoever gets this problem after me).

I'm not sure why the installation from PC failed time after time - this is something for smarter people to find out.

I solved it by eventually managing to copy one of the numerous RUU_signed.nbh I tried, to the Internal storage, renaming it to the DIAMIMG.NBH and running the bootloader procedure.

Why didn't this work for a 6-10 times I did this before, I donno, the important thing that now it did, and I'm going to enjoy my diamond starting this moment.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Hunter_I:
Hello,

I'll be happy to help to the extent I can.

But can you please specify where you stand right now?

I mean, what steps did you take already and where did you stop?

For example,

Do you have Hard SPL installed already?

What's the ROM you currently have?

Can your phone boot up correctly? Can it sync with your PC?

Is your phone locked?

Let me know some details.
[General Questions and Answers] Tribulattifather:
Does anyone know of an app that I can run from my device (Tmo Wing w/WM6.5) that can extract the cab file from an exe file?

I don't have a desktop computer and I have a lot of executables that install through the pc that I would like to install on my device.

Or is there another way of installing these types of files?

Or can I just change the file extension?
[General Questions and Answers] nhvoltagenh:
exe files that run from your pc, actually store the cab on your pc and transfer it.

most files you need are probably in cab format on the web already.

the exe wont help if you rename it.

what it does is extract the files to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\app name
[General Questions and Answers] Tribulattifather:
Unfortunately, I don't have a computer at the moment. Had to send my motherboard back to the manufacturer to be repaired.

So I am not able to do it the way you mentioned. There's gotta be a way install with pc executables..

The main reason is I have the full version of Fade (ppc game) and I don't see it as a cab on the net anywhere.

If anyone would be willing to share the cab with me, I would be greatful.
[General Questions and Answers] wapvirus:
Get 7zip for ppc unpack the exe same as you would on desktop ;)
[General Questions and Answers] pongothemagnificent:
Download UniExtractor, it can extract most of the .msi,exe.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hi there, try what the guys have said above. Also please do not ask someone to provide a cab for a paid app/game, its against xda rules.

Be careful if your doing this, dont distribute the cab if you manage to extract it.

Cheers.
[Touch2 General] todel:
i just realized that my windows media player won't start and i don't know why... any one else has problems like that? If i set mp3 as ringtone it won't play, mp3 won'r play at all and media player won't start no matter what ... no error, it just won't start. tryed to soft reset didn't fixed it. any sugestions ?
[Touch2 General] morpheusdj:
So, just to make things clear, are you trying to set an .mp3 file as an alarm, or is the media player not working at all?

As to your first problem, you can't set an .mp3 file as an alarm sound with the stock alarm application, it only accepts .WAV files. There are 2 solutions: you convert the .mp3 file you want to .WAV, or you get a third party alarm application, that can play .mp3 files.

If your media player isn't working at all, I really have no suggestions here except a hard reset.
[Touch2 General] todel:
Seems that the problem is caused by connecting the phone to computer using usb disk mode and then soft reset... if any1 can confirm that please do so.

If it's true, anyone found a fix for that (besides hard reset) ?
[Touch2 General] xkaiser:
SOLUTION : see my thread HERE
[Touch2 General] iogrea:
Htc has a patch for touch2 that solves this problem. With the path you can set mp3 as sound.
[HD2 General] peter7:
Normally I`m using Navigon but Copilot is much faster and is getting quicker a fix...but it always stopps when the HD2 - after 1 minute - stopps. With Navigon it doesn`t stopp - do I have to change it in Copilot software or at HD2 ?

How content are you with Copilot generally?
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you mean it goes into standby, you can turn that off in the settings in Copilot. (It's in menu, settings, backlight).

If you don't mean that, can you explain a bit more?
[HD2 General] peter7:
Great - sorry I missed it !

Another question:

How do I get more POI`s ?

Are you content with Copilot =
[HD2 General] Archer:
To be honest, I've only used it a couple of times. I've always been a TomTom user, but Copilot is so cheap that I'm probably gonna get it. I don't really use POIs either. I simply use it for getting from A to B!

For that, it's nicer than TomTom. It looks better and seems more accurate (despite the fact that accuracy is probably very little to do with software, and more the GPS!)

I also like the pinch-to-zoom in it. It just looks really nice.
[HD2 General] peter7:
Copilot is much better than Navigon and of course TT !

How about your experineces ?
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Sorry to hijack this thread slightly (!), but can Copilot be used for navigating on foot?

I am a TomTom user via PNDs in vehicles normally, and would only ever really use my phone to navigate if I was on foot - for this TomTom is no good with.

Also, on a related topic, does Copilot make use of the built-in electronic compass - ie. does it know which way you are facing before you start moving (again a key thing when navigating on foot!)?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] omneity:
Yes it can, also by automobile, motorcycle, bicycle and RV (whatever that is).

I don't think it does work with the built-in compass, which is probably no bad thing as the compass is not that accurate.

I've been using CoPilot Live for two years now and I find it excellent. On the HD2 screen it's brilliant and is very smooth with the fast processor. Don't forget to also download CoPilot Central Live which is a desktop application that lets you plan your routing on your PC and send it to the phone & vice versa. You can download it for free HERE although you'll only get the most out of it if you have CoPilot installed on your phone. Have a look at the CoPilot User Manual HERE[url].

For the money, it's a superb bit bit of software.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake. You could do planning on version 1 of CoPilot Central but it seems they've removed that on version 2. But you can still plan journeys on the desktop using Google Earth and import them via CoPilot Central version 2 though in KML format..
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Purchased yesterday, and for the price, cant fault it.
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
CoPilot 8 Live Au

I've been using it for 2 weeks and like it. Pinch to zoom is great and the graphics are better than TT.

The trial allowed me to download an Au map but unfortunately I can't purchase it here in Aus so I've loaded TT7.

Will buy Copilot 8 when it becomes available here if the price is right.

Copilot 7 was outrageous at over $200Au.
[HD2 General] pgamble:
Had co-pilot since 3.5 days.

It has always had odd issues just as Tom Tom (I used the latter when it was Palmtop Route Planner and City Maps for Psion and Palm) has ... dodgy post codes and some addresses and sometimes very odd routing.

It is a shame that they have removed the old desktop s/w ... but given I have the full CPL6 ... I still have that.

In 8, it also appears that the free traffic camera integration from PocketGPS is missing ... I think they are going to charge for that when available in the UK.

I love the fact that in 8, you get speed indication for the road you are on. It probably isn't completely accurate ... but a nice touch.

It is prettier ... but slightly less configurable than previous versions.

Lock with the HD2 is incredible ... 7 satellites in my study when I used to struggle for a lock with the TyTNII ... not sure how HTC have managed that.

As someone else mentioned ... for the cost .... it seems mad not to enable it. I have 7" Sat Nav in both my cars ... so I don't need it unless I'm in someone else's car ... but it's still worth it for planning routes.

Perhaps the best thing is it's ability to have multiple stops. This can be used to guide CPL not to use stupid routes.

Paul.
[HD2 General] nb1962:
Hi

Sorry to jump in here, but can anyone who has Copilot for Europe tell me if the Canary Islands are included please?

Thanks
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
QWERTY and Contacts search?

I'm agreeing that for the price it seems like a winner. I too am a TomTom user and have sat nav in all the vehicles I use regularly, but well always a nice-to-have!

Two things that I can't figure out with it though:

1) How do I change to a QWERTY keyboard for address entry etc?

2) When I'm searching my contacts - it doesn't actually search - I seem to have to type it in exactly.. can this not be changed?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Trig0r:
I want to know if you can change it to QWERTY too.

For the price, you'll struggle to beat it, however I do prefer TomTom, the quick/shortcut button on the screen on TT7 is damned useful..

Also can you change how it plans your route, speed/distance etc the same as on TT?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'd love to get a QWERTY keyboard on Copilot too! It does bug me when apps have their own keyboards in them. I can't see it happening though. REALLY would love to be wrong in this case though!
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
I've got a question about CoPilot.

How the heck do you remove it? There is no uninstall option in the Remove Programs :confused:

Can you just delete it from the storage card and remove the icons? This seems a bit ham fisted. :eek:

I need the space for my TT maps :p
[HD2 General] appelflap:
1. According to the faq on the website of CoPilot the querty keyboard is planned for one of the updates of CoPilot 8 in the future.

Quote from the FAQ:
[HD2 General] Shockwave Pyrotechnics:
I bought and activated the trial of Copliot 8 that was on my hd2, and I like it.... I've run it alongside Tomtom too and it sometimes chooses slightly different routes, but it's not failed to get m eto my destination yet. For £24.99 you can't go wrong. However There is a problem that I can't add custome poi's such as the gps pocket camera database... seems to be a bug with a specific version of 8, which is a little annoying.
[HD2 General] fards:
I bought it when it first appeared in the early beta roms...

I really like it, although bicycle mode does seem to want to send me on some bizarre routes and round the wrong way on roundabouts.

and some streets don't seem to have house numbers (mine included)
[HD2 General] arturobandini:
I tried Copilot several days in Paris.

What I can say is that this software is really really bad.... Except you like to be lost or are fond of wrong way streets. :mad:
[HD2 General] terepo:
I have contacted the customer service about this question and they told me that canary ARE present in europe map.

Are you planning holidays in canary? Me too I'm ready to go in about 15days for 3-4 months in Fuerteventura

[HD2 General] sunking101:
Ovi maps sat nav on Nokia phones is BY FAR the best I've tried, followed by Tom Tom. This Co Pilot is *rubbish* - I've used it three times now. Once with no problems whatsoever, but the route was simple and impossible to mess-up. The other times I got taken drastically off-course and the software was telling me to turn the wrong way down one-way streets and telling me to turn left at junctions when I should be turning right etc. Useless!
[HD2 General] witNer:
Same problems with me. Found the display to be nice and clear but the route planning needs a lot of work.

Recently it tried to take me south somewhere instead of North where I should have been heading. Checked the destination and also that I hadn't set any waypoints and surprise, surprise nothing wrong there....just the stupid software thinking it knew better! Not relying on it again and just want either TomTom or similar to release an HD2 version.
[HD2 General] arturobandini:
Yes, exactly the same happened to me. If only I could uninstall this damn useless Copilot.

Never tried such a bad one...:mad:
[HD2 General] bigsro:
Where can I get TT for my HD2?

Sorry found it - some reason I couldnt find this through Google...hehe oops/ - though the Navigator 7 software is compatible with the HD2 according to the website...its £89.99!!
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Anyway :) , pinch-to-zoom and drag the map around with your finger to get more information is nice. :D
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
Brilliant! so you can see in great detail how lost you are :D Hahahaha
[HD2 General] omneity:
I've been using Co-Pilot for two years now and not had any real problems with it. I use it most days.

One thing I have noticed is that the weather animation shows the leaves blowing from the east even when the wind is clearly blowing from the west. I'm sure you could run with that for your next whinge about the HD2. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] sharpey:
:D ROFL :D
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I hardly think complaining about a £500 phone on which I can't reliably send or receive SMS, can't make a call without experiencing tinnitus and can't use the sat nav because it's RUBBISH could be classed as 'whingeing'. Perhaps you HTC fanboys have never owned a working phone before. Maybe you accept mediocrity. Who knows.
[HD2 General] fards:
I'm beginning to suspect you don't actually have a HD2.. if yours is really as bad as you make out then you would have returned it and stopped bloody continually moaning all the time!

but as it is Im beginning to suspect you're here just purely to act as a troll..

If you have an issue then send it back and go and get something else, and let those of us who are enjoying using our HD2s to get on with it!
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Oh I'm sorry to report that I *do* own an HD2. I can't swap it as O2 currently have no stock. I am ringing every day and am due a replacement. Perhaps if you read the threads a little more you'd notice that several people have the same issues I do, so I'm not feeling too confident that my replacement - when it comes - will be any better.
[HD2 General] jakem:
Do you ever do anything but complain and why is it that nothing you touch ever works?
[HD2 General] Mad Jock:
I just got my HD2 and it came with copilot already installed but when it came to activating my 15day free trial it said there was no maps installed and to go to the website to get them, so off i went but it says i have to login which i can't cause it's a free trial so now what? How do i try out the trial if it has no maps and i can't get them? :confused:

Cheers......Mad Jock
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Nah, it's just my HD2 that doesn't work. Most other things I own are fine. What ON EARTH is wrong with some of you guys??? Am I supposed to be in awe of my HD2 when it fails to send & receive SMS, is near-impossible to type on and the call quality is abysmal? Am I to think it's fantastic and faultless just because it has a big screen and a large processor? What good is all that if the basic - and MAIN - functions are not working correctly???

I bought this phone for presumably the same reasons you did - ie the screen and processor. I didn't expect all the other features to be faulty! Half the 'tweaks' floating around this forum do nothing to alleviate the problems. I joined-up here to see if there were any fixes. I have wasted HOURS of my life scouring through these threads, hoping to happen upon some mystical fix to make my crappola HD2 actually work properly. None found yet. Go bully some other guys who have the same problems I do. Have you heard me 'whinge' about the camera or the fact my super-duper processor makes my phone take an age to boot-up? Or whinge about the fact I can't have 10,000 SMS in my inbox without the messaging app slowing down? No. I am complaining merely about the fact I can't use my phone as a phone without experiencing extreme difficulty and frustration.

[HD2 General] Trig0r:
3 days left on my free trial, its got me the few places I needed to go so far, and it is cheaper than TomTom...

The HD2 also comes with GoogleMaps, between the two of them surely you cant get lost?
