i just had my 3rd crack (2 old), i called SE and they gave me an RMA number and spouse to send my phone in tomorrow. i hoping that they will cover the issue and if they do not cover...then im gonna file the same compliant.

this is a really bad move by SE, if a company trying to release a whole new product line ( i.e. Xperia brand) at least make sure your first generation USER are happy with the product so they can come in the future...

for me personally, im done with SE and will never buy any more product from them anymore. i paid 782 for X1a and i expected more from SE alto i am happy with the style, design and hardware spec of the phone, i did however expected more quality. from now on....its all HTC (the only place for real quality windows phone)

so, the main reason for this post is

a. to bump this post up

b. to support your fight against SE..
[XPERIA X1 General] rambalu80:
I received my first X1a back in January 2009 and all was fine until it started developing a hairline crack on the flimsy side of the battery compartment where the battery cover crimp is supposed to hold on to the phone. At this point the cover was getting pretty loose and was beginning to fall off. This happened in July 2009 and I got an RMA number and sent my phone in to PTS Electronics in Bloomington IN. After over 5 weeks, they replaced the phone, pasted an IMEI sticker that bore the PTS Electronics name and had a build date of sometime in Feb 2009.

I used the replacement phone for about 4 months and a couple of weeks back, I had the exact same issue, not to mention that I've probably opened the battery cover about 5 times between when I received my phone in Sep 2009 and the 2nd week of Jan 2010. Tomorrow will be the 10th business day and as of now, the status is still Work In Progress. I hope the fix it and send it back soon and hopefully it won't crack again.
[XPERIA X1 General] sdemon:
I'm not in the US either..... But over here in the Netherlands the service is good thankfully. Just had my phone sent back for the second case replacement. Could also be due to the fact I got my phone from T-mo and send it back through the shop.

is anyone having problems with the keyboard? I need to press very hard some of the keys to type. Is it only in my phone?

taking some power back from SE

After a few phone calls and seeing I was not going to get anywhere with the denial approach from SE regarding cracked case, I decided to Super Glue the crack as there was quite a bit of play occurring in the case each time I opened up the keyboard.

I used the gel so as not to have any glue "runs" into the phone. I gently forced the crack open, squeezed in a little of the glue and held it for a minute and hey presto!! Been a couple of months now and has not re-cracked, no more play in case when using keyboard and you really need to look hard to find the crack.

This in no way lets SE off the hook, but when you are farting against thunder and things are getting worse, sometimes you just need to do something positive to take back the power.

SE have lost another loyal customer in me (P800, P990, X1) and will be going HTC or similar from now on.

while on this self repair note, Irbpereira mentioned how steelwool/brillo would clean up the back cover of the black X1 to remove horrible scratched look - this really works and you are left with a dark metal buff finish that looks the part and will never suffer those scratches again, cheers!
[XPERIA X1 General] talipo:
The scratched black cover is still under warranty?
[XPERIA X1 General] sean0r:
I don't think anything can be more awesome than my spare X1 developing a huge crack... WHILE IN STORAGE.

Yes, this phone has been sat in its packaging from the repair centre tucked safely into a dark drawer at room temp.

I was amazed to see the giant crack considering the phone has not been handled other then for the initial 10 minute or so over a year ago.
[XPERIA X1 General] matthewpapa:
Its been a while since ive been to this part of xda. i saw this thread and figure id share my experiences

i sent mine back to SE for cracks a long time ago back when mine was in warranty. They sent it back unfixed and claimed there was water damage even though i cant recall it ever getting wet (or even close to water for that matter).

When they wouldnt fix it I bought a housing off the internet for around $60. it worked until i got the dreaded ribbon cable failure

i didnt realize other people were having ribbon cable failure in addition to me

Bottom line is im through with SE, the F'ed me bad bc i paid full price for this phone. It wouldnt even last me a whole year!

Since then i had bought a tilt2 and now a captivate and couldnt have been happier with those devices
[XPERIA X1 General] Medulla_Oblongata:
I super glued mine when I disassembled the phone to clean the keyboard. I wasn't pleased when I noticed the big crack :/
[XPERIA X1 General] aloysius987:
Mine was pretty cracked when my dad gave it to me, i hate my keyboard, so stuck to touchkey all the time, eg spb keyboard. mem card began un responsive, even if putting in fren's phone. but everytiem i charge or give the phone/mem card a electric surge it comes back to life... LOL. but help with the mem card issue...
[XPERIA X1 General] Jejking:
Hmm my X1 developed two cracks to plus a bunch of little scratches. Also in Holland, I'm going to dig up the warranty + receipt. I doubt I'm in the position but I'm considering demanding an other phone without these stupid issues..

Nope, you're not the only one. Here also the touch sensor went like dead a month ago.

Edit: is there something like a mass / class lawsuit? I'd like to join in the queue.
[XPERIA X1 General] Garena:
SE HELP suck they dont help me whit my phone.

I was helped by XDA.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 100thMonkey:
I'm not sure how much this may or may not apply to others but I thought I'd share my experience.

Prior the Pure, I had a Treo 850/Pro, which worked great out of the box with my exchange server and PhoneFusion's visual voicemail app.

Well, neither worked with either the Pure ROM nor a few cooked ROM's.

After some hunting, I've got both satisfactorily licked.

The problem, as has been otherwise identified, with SMS interception interfering with programs that need to intercept them is Manilla. By using TiGER's 28011 clean, I am able to have all the new style with the programs that I like to use. No matter how pretty it is, sucks if I can't use the things that I need to.

Regarding exchange, for some reason I didn't have any intermediate certificates when using custom ROM's. I was able to export a similar certificate as the intermediate one on my Treo from IE 7 on my PC and then was able to successfully connect with Exchange. So for anyone that tried a custom ROM and lost the ability to sync to Exchange, it might be worth looking into..

So, I'm pretty thrilled. not perfect but good enough for now
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumAround:
more plain English, please.... especially the 'sms interception interfering with programs that need to intercept them is Manila' part. in short, any solution you'd be willing to share? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 100thMonkey:
yup, not using Manilla at all. I tried several ROM's with HTC messaging. The original Pure ROM with 2.1, Dutty's with 2.1 & 2.5, Shadowline's 28011 with 2.5, PDAViet's with 2.1. The only one that works is TiGER's clean with no HTC messaging installed at all.

Maybe SMS's could be successfully intercepted by other programs if one disabled HTC Messaging and still chose to use Manilla, but then, its like WTF...Manilla is cool because its all there, when one starts removing its parts, it loses some luster, IMHO
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumAround:
cool, thanks. :)

now why what's working (sms-wise) in manila 2.1 cannot anymore in 2.5?

do you mean that TiGER's clean version removing ONLY the HTC messaging, or the Sense/Manila altogether?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 100thMonkey:
:-)

TiGER's clean ROM's are freaking clean. Absolutely minimal and only basic MS services and apps. Nothing custom, clean slate, tablua rasa if you will

the sms intercept didn't work for me in either 2.1 or 2.5. The authors of phonefusion visual voicemail also noted that it didn't work with the stock Pure ROM.

And really I'd be reticent to try the HTC messaging disbaling because it seems to be complicated and frought with issues. until HTC can make their skin plan nicer with other proggys, then I have to pass.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumAround:
lucky you, my friend, i'm one of those suckers who try to live with Manila (now, Sense) with some of its luster(s) lost. guess I live in an sms limbo, thanks to geniuses at HTC. :eek::eek:

Hi everyone,

I've been searching for a VNC client for the HD2 for controlling my home desktop remotely, preferrably one that allows me to zoom in and out as well. I've done a Google search and haven't been able to find something that works well with the HD2, at the moment the closest I can find is something by Mochasoft, but I can't figure out how to zoom in and out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] glenner05:
mochasoft VNC cannot zoom in or out. however, it's a very good VNC client, i'm using it for years now on all my HTC's... but since my HD2 it's very hard to use it due to the capacitive screens (can't use fingernails or stylus). However, there is a way to pinch and zoom with VNC. install BSB Tweaks (latest version) found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589305

Then run it, press menu, then Pinch to zoom, and select any program you wich to pinch and zoom in! Mochasoft vnc was not in my list, if that's the case just go to options, add application and follow instructions... that's it. Now you can zoom in mochasoft VNC, i use it all the time....

how to use password??

i opened the app after installation then i selected the trial version then i entered my IP but where can i get the password? will i get it after registering at vnc?? thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mideel:
I think you dont know what VNC really is and how it works. You need to start a VNC-Server on your Desktop-PC. There you can set a password.

There are already several threads for this topic, the .NET VNC Viewer (http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/) is the one I worked with and I only can advise it :)

Hi Guys,

I've been looking for a cheap place to grab sync cables for the HD2 but to no avail. I bought a few ones from a seller on Ebay except they seem to only just charge the phone but no syncing occurs.

Does anyone know a place where cheap sync cables can be found??

cheers,

It depends on your location, if you are in EU fastest and cheapest way to go is this

[General Questions and Answers] plasmadragon007:
Are you sure your G1 is rooted, cause you shouldn't be getting a OTA update threw your provider. It's up to you weather or not to update your phone, my opinion is that rooting makes the phone as good if not better than the phone's they are coming out with this year. You might be on RC29 or RC27 depending if your in the U.S. or in Europe, so you rooted but I would load a custom rom. You can go over to this forum in Xda, http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448 . I really enjoy cyanogen's mod but you can test them all out based on your needs or wants in a rom.

Just wondering if anyone is messing with any of the CECT mini-phones? I just got one and think hardware-wise it's fairly capable, but the OS is lacking and kind of flakey. I think it'd be a rockin' little phone with some upgraded firmware. I inherited a Wing from my son and have been very pleased with the firmware re-flash I've found on this site... I'm assuming the developers on this site would be able to come up with something if there were interest???

can any body tell me how to remove encryption from the card keeping in da same device or any other way of reading encrypted cards in my device.

i tried my card in another phone n it says the memory card is corrupted.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] LaurieBoutte:
Hi all,

Please be gentle. I am rather new to all this, but seem to have a problem with my new hero. :( I have googled and had no luck, so I was hoping someone here could help. I watched the video on the adobe sight showing a hero playing movie trailers on movies.yahoo.com and games on addictinggames.com. When I try all I get is a white screen with a "F" in a circle with an explanation point.

I have had to do a hard reset to get the SMS messages working at one point. I did not have to redo the firmware update after the hard reset, it still showed software version 1.56.651.2 and when I tried it said there was not firmware update. It did wipe out my apps from the market, but I did get them back. That made me believe it was a true hard reset.

Sorry to ramble on, just not sure what information to give anyone.

[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Added SMS/MMS function to the left action button :D. Bug is still there though (see first post) :(.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Updated.

1.1:

Didn't know that github files were incomplete. Fixed.

Added new drawables for the SMS function.

Re-wrote SharedPrefs portion. Bug with Dialer not reading settings should hopefully be fixed now.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
1.52:

Fixed a FC bug that some people reported. Thanks to regunus for the logcat, and a friend of mine for testing :).

1.51:

Added the drawable for navigation (by me, I suck at graphics but hey :P.)

Fixed a small bug with Navigation showing even if Maps installed does not support it (non-issue really, everyone should be on 3.3.1 by now).

1.4:

Implemented function to clear all call logs of a particular name or number.

1.3:

Implemented a menu item to show total call time so far. Also added a prompt before call log is cleared.

1.2:

Call log now shows actual time instead of relative time.
