[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
yes the p910 was very good actually, forgive me, its been a while since i had one! lol. it was the update for the p900 and a massive improvement. the extra ram and keyboard helped a lot. i did prefer the p990 though, it had better screen, higher resolution, better keyboard, the slide keylock on the side was genius (wish the xperias had one!), just the firmware was flawed and ruined it. it was better after the final update. still a few tiny bugs but nothing major. as a phone i thought the p1i was the peak of the series. it was fast, stable, a decent size (the p9xx where a little big werent they lol), very stylish. i cant think of any bugs or glitches, was a bit slow if you had more than 100 texts to scroll through but other than that it was spot on. i was dissapointed to find out that they then decided to stop the p series. just when it felt they finally got it right.

the p1i worked better than the x1 as a phone but the x1 was much better for applications. i suppose its slightly unfair to compare them since the p1i was a smartphone - its a phone first, applications where second. whereas the x1 was a pocketpc - applications first and phone second. whenever i tried to ring or text somone on the x1 it always felt like it was an afterthought, just another application on a pocketpc. possibly thats the fault of wm6 though. on the x2 the phone is much better, ive never seen wm6.5 but i take it thats where the improvements come from. now it feels more like 50:50 phone - applications. a nice balance between a phone and a pocketpc.

i think theyve crammed too much onto the x2 though, youve got the panels, the tilewave interface, the spb screen, the mstoday screen, the slideview. ive nothing against the different panels but they should be different applications not 5 or 6 different ways of doing the same thing! its like the old saying, jack of all trades but master of none.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
P990 was my favourite in terms of construction,

with all those keyboards and hardware controls.

Was a real phone + computer...

I've used it for 1,5 years...

P1 was very nice and handy.

It plays a role in District 9 movie ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
yes i spotted that too!! lol. sad but i was very excited when i saw that. haha. its also in "dont mess with the zohan" in that film you can see that its not actually on when he uses it.

there was also a film where they used the p800. think it was one of the mission impossibles, bourne or bond movies. was definately some kind of spy film anway. that was another one where the phone wasnt actually on when they used it. bit cheeky that :P i think it was mission impossible 2 actually.
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
how gd is the HD2 compared to the x1 because i really want one!
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Check in with Bronx. He's got both, I think, and he loves the HD2. I'm also very very tempted.
[XPERIA X1 General] mbernstein:
I know this should be a difficult question, but... Does anybody have both the HD2 and the X2? :)

If so, how the photos compare and how is the adaptation to HD2's onscreen keyboard vs X2's hardware keyboard.

In case no one has both, which is likely, how is the comparison between the X1 vs HD2 as asked above?

I'm also starting to consider the HD2... :(

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
if youre considering the HD2 then this sounds interesting...

http://www.phonenews.com/htc-hd2-for-t-mobile-to-see-romram-increase-10022/

might be worth holding on for a while before making judgement. with a decent firmware upgrade the x2 will be a worthy contender. at the moment its probably too buggy to recommend to anyone other than diehard sony fans.

also theres the google nexus one to consider. i heard thats good...
[XPERIA X1 General] mbernstein:
Thanks, that's interesting.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Does anyone know:

If HD2 is upgraded to WM 7, will it then be capable of high-definition video recording?

Currently it is not capable, but this is a WM 6.5 limitation; the Snapdragon is able to process HD recording.

Perhaps it just depends if HTC includes the capability in the firmware update.

Hello everyone;

I was wondering how difficult it is to, say, port an eclair app to cupcake. Does it just involve some minor modifications of the source code, or a full-fledged rewrite?

Thanks;

Andrew
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
If you have the source code, you need to compile it against the appropriate sdk, though depending on your dependencies (how much you rely on the core framework), you might expect a fair degree of compatibility over a range of versions.

If you're writing for cupcake, compile against 1.5, if you're doing it for eclair, then it's 2.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AychTeeSee:
How would one compile against 1.5 from AOSP eclair? I'm a java noob :)

Thanks,

Andrew
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
AOSP has nothing to do with the Android SDK per se - AOSP is the actual Android source code itself (i.e. the OS), and the SDK is the toolkit that allows you to build applications to run on top of that OS.

In order to build applications for Andrioid, you need to use the Android SDK, and this will allow you to compile for the various different targets (1.5, 1.6, 2.1 etc).

Broadly speaking, 2.1 is a superset of earlier versions - i.e. it will contain additional APIs not present in earlier versions. If you make use of those APIs in your application, it will not be possible to make it backwards compatible to earlier versions without replacing the missing API calls.

Regards,

Dave

Default Battery Meter

Hi All!

Bored I couldn't find any replacement for the battery icon compatible with 6.5...I've created mine after some hours of work!!!

I have to thank the work of EvilPati which has put me in the right direction!

Attached the cab that will only replace the battery icon and leave as standard all the other icons....I've used the battery icon from the Misfortune Taskbar!

Hope You'll Like it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] sesame0816:
thanks for your help, schimi!

Thanx!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheParadox:
Thinking of Buying a Xperia X1 what do you guys think of it? In terms of build quality and durability as well as everything else. :D:confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
Its good, but had i been in ur place, i wud reconsider X1 for X2..X2 is better actually..but u take the pic..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hofo_mofo:
The X2 does look good...but the X1 is a fantastic machine. Plus the price now is a lot cheaper than when first launched. The only problem I can foresee is trying to find a new one...I could be wrong of course
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
You can buy one here in Poland.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasand:
If I were in your shoes i wouldnt bother. Im on my 4th Xperia in 13 months!

I cannot comment on the X2 but personally would wait for the X10 or choose the new nokia.

My own opinion ;)

To give advice i would suggest to stay away from SE until they get their act together.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noONExda:
If i'd buy a phone today, it'd be the HD2... sure no hardware QWERTY, but with that 4.3" screen you get one hell of a on screen keyboard.. =)

Other than that it's so much more powerful and has more features..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
I've had my Xperia X1 since February, and the only problem I've had with it was the slight wearing out of most-used keys on the keyboard. And even that was replaced when I sent it in to SE Repair.

If you want an Xperia, and you'd rather go with a device that has a lot of support and is much, much cheaper, I'd say the X1 is a good idea for you. I plan on selling my black X1i (lightly used, I figure 300ish isn't bad) and getting the X2a when it comes out, for US 3G support, because I absolutely love the new keyboard and design. Plus I just like keeping up on mobile phones :P
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
well, since you've asked about build quality and durability - stay away! i own this phone 11 months and it's been in repair for 2 months and 1 week...

you can read in this forum about it:

- hw-keyb deteriorates over time (buttons either don't work or act like pressed 3 times)

- cracks in case

- battery cover (black) scratches very easy

- buttons under the screen lose their shiny finish through usage

- in my case a part of the touch-monitors most upper layer faded (no scratch!)

- monitor cable inside also seems prown to be faulty

also it doesn't get any software-updates anymore. "final" firmware dates from march 2009. and there are still bugs left, especially in performance (lag when playing it's own videos...) i've read somewhere that the new x2-panels don't work on x1 officially. x1-panels are too few to make good use of them.

and if you want to use custom roms (with manila) or the goodies from x2 be prepared for a neverending story of flashing, bug-fixing and waiting for new releases by the cooks. cooking yourself is even more time-consuming.

at the moment stay away from SE. and if you don't want to spend the money for something like a hd2, i'd recommend an htc touch pro 2. same hardware as x1, but a better software-foundation than the x1. plus manila and official update to winmo 6.5.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Well, buy it if you like it.

My Xperia works since Dec 2008 and it's the best SE phone I ever had.

The crack appeared when device hit the floor hard.

So for me build quality is good.

As for HTC TPro 2 - well, as for "software foundation" there's no difference between this and X1.

Some people love TF3D, some - like me - don't and I just love panels.

In reverse HTC has ****ty hardware buttons while SE gives you all the options.

So in the end it's all about subtle differences.

For me the whole X1 concept works.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobile of Sorrow:
caliban is saying everything you´ll need to know..

nice phone,crappy quality

some Plastic will kill your Fun ,believe me

-a lot of problems....

save a little bit more of money and buy a touch pro 2....

oh...and forget to buy some other SE Devices...big company,big quality problems at the moment,dood !
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
If I were in your shoes I'd get the LG Expo or HD2. Caliban is accurate above but I actually think the X1 is a very good device - after tweaking my only big complaint is the sluggishness - it just can't be fixed. Pretty soon all software will be designed for Snapdragon or faster processors, so I would jump on that bandwagon.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Do not get it. Just don't. It's a phone that comes to be luxurious and high-end. But it ages it quickly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyzone:
The device is Pharos137 with 512M ROM.

I am trying to cook a ROM for this device and it fails to boot if add any file larger than 5Mb to OEM folder.

When Google Map cab(which is less than 4Mb) is added to OEM with out any changes to XIP and SYS every thing goes well. Device boots up and installs the cab.

But when I try just adding Skype cab or Copilot or any other cab larger than 6Mb, device fails to boot and struck at spalsh screen!

Is there a setting for IMGFS size? Where is it stored and how do I change it?

Having ROM size of 512M and unable to cook IMGFS larger than 90M is stupid I think. But such is my problem!

Can any one please point me to a solution?

BTW I have gathered various tools and put together into a kitchen. So I might not be having all the tools! I have also ported XIP and SYS and successfully created a ROM that boots. But when I try adding larger files to OEM it fails to boot.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyzone:
Not even a single reply!:confused:

Question:

Am I really stupid asking this question or no one knows the answer to my problem. So which one is it folks?

Now that we are officially started hosting discussions on non-HTC phones, may I ask you to at least post your thoughts on this issue please?

BTW I've read in some place that IMGFS size information some times coded into NK.EXE module. Is this true?

Many thanks.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hahahh:
I have the same Q..

device rom 128M,cooked rom limit 48.9M .when cooked rom more than 48.9M,device halt on the first splash screen.

:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
You have to take in to account things like the radio ROM, XIP, etc when looking at the size of the OS.

What kitchen are you using to build the OS? Many of the tools can resize the IMGFS partition. You may be using up space that's reserved for ImageUpdate, which will be hard coded, but can be resized (tadzios bigstoreagemode resizes the reserved space).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyzone:
I am not using any kitchen per say since it does not exist for Pahros137. I have put together one my own by using OSNBTOOL, and other IMGFS and XIP port etc.

My device has 512M rom size and when I cook any thing larger than 98M device fails to go beyond flash screen!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
This is more of a quick fix, but just split the bigger cabs like skype into smaller packages. Or, don't use cabs and see which apps you can run straight out of windows. It will save storage memory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyzone:
Yes I can split the cabs and/or install them once windows loads. But my main aim is to cook new TouchFlo into the rom.

So what are my choices now?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
Why do you need to put it into a cab? Can't you just cook the manila files (you're talking about manila, right?) straight into the rom?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyzone:
yes that is exactly what I want to do but ran into size limit. So i was experimenting with various cab sizes to figure out the limit.

I do not think new Manila can be made into a cab!! I have heard many people saying there are many dependencies in creating a cab and has be cooked into ROM unfortunately. Did you try making a cab of manila?
[Nexus One General] Freezey:
To start off Iam no stranger to android&to the Iphone/Ipod touch OS(used to own an ipodtouch)

Iam truely brickwalled on deciding if I should switch to a nexus one or a Iphone 3g on tmobile. The reason why I'm still considering an iphone with tmobile is because for 1 my bill will go down a bit&I ll save near 200 on the phones purchase via ebay.

I do love android&the nexus one seems to be what I have been waiting for yet I don't want to be left out in the dark with 500 dollar device. By that I mean it not getting many android software updates. The only thing I can say I don't like about android 100% is the app market( I'm a sucker for games)

But all aside I just don't want to make the wrong choice as ill be starting my college classes in mid march&I need a new phone to see me thru. Currently I'm on a tmo g1&I havehad it for a year now. Its been dropped a few times&has its scares&I have maxed it out to my taste with custom roms.......but the time has come for a new device.

I welcome all help&opinions(esp if you have used both devices)
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
Firstly, the iPhone won't get 3G on T-Mobile bands.

I myself upgraded from a G1, and while I miss the hardware KB (mostly for SNES) the upgrade is great. All the things the G1 could technically do, this thing can do while running 5 other apps without any lag.

You're pretty much right about the games, but Polarbit has a handful of cool ones in 3d now that run great on the Nexus, and really show it off. Armageddon Squadron (dumb name) is a great WWII flying game where you can even dogfight online (though nobody ever seems to play). However, SNESoid is pretty much crippled right now :( that took away a lot of the gaming potential.

Eventually, however, it will have Flash 10.1 support, which will unlock a nearly infinite catalog of games online. Granted, Flash games aren't the most engaging.
[Nexus One General] True2TheGame:
I've been playing HomeRun Battle 3d on my nexus all day, so hard to put down.
[Nexus One General] nicknowsky:
you cant compare a Nexus One and iPhone 3G but u can compare it to a 3GS, i would go for that if u decide to take the iPhone route, the 3Gs is soo much better than the 3G

anyways i was in the same boat, i wanted the 3Gs but I was dying for and Android device, passed on the Nexus one ofr now, and saved 300 bucks and got a myTouch3G instead, i am still gonna in the market for a high powered ANDROID device but this is fine for now. SOmeone just put it to me like iPhone is for Paris Hiltons nowadays, its glamor. All the smart DEVs use the ANDROID platform
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
Well said... the glamour bit.
[Nexus One General] samawil:
I have 2 phones, a nexus one and an iphone 3gs.

IMHO, the nexus 1 is where the iphone was about a year ago, ie it's missing some functions (although you can add most of those through 3rd party apps and of course, the cooks are always making it better.)

HOWEVER, I love both phones. The thing with the Nexus is that once you root it etc, the possibilities are endless, just like when you jailbreak, but jailbreaking is easier than rooting (again imho) but you really get to know and love your phone once you have to figure out how to do things like fastbooting this and terminal into that etc...

There is one thing to keep in mind, the next phone is always around the corner and there could be a completely new iphone announced soon. Apple is having an event on the 27th of Jan, so maybe hold off on deciding until you hear what Stevy has to say :)

Either way, I think you'll be happy with either choice you make

Lou
[Nexus One General] nmesisca:
jailbreaking an iphone is easier than running 'fastboot oem unlock' ??
[Nexus One General] Freezey:
Also is it true that if I were to buy a jailbroken unlocked iphone 3g(3gs too exspensive)

&upgrade firmware that I would need a an at&t sim to activate it to rejailbreak then unlock it again?

If true that seals the deal&the nexus will be my choice
[Nexus One General] corys00:
To jailbreak my iPhone I pressed a button that said "make it rain". Both a pretty easy, but the Blackra1n app is easier for newbies.
[Nexus One General] samawil:
That's what i meant...download and click

I'm not saying it's better..just easier :)

L
[Nexus One General] hassan:
There is no solution to jailbreak new iPhone 3Gs hardware released after 11/09. Blackrain will jailbreak but when switch phone off and back on again it will be in recovery mode and to get out from that phone need to be connect to the computer and run a blackrain again.

Even rooted N1 can be updated to new firmware without any problem.
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
Why are you so worried about not getting software updates? Android has had quite a few updates for only being out 1 year. If you're worried about updates on the Nexus itself, it's only been out for 2 weeks. . .
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
If your network is T-Mobile, Nexus One hands down. If your network is AT&T iPhone 3GS hands down. If you mean iPhone 3G and NOT 3GS, I would still go with Nexus One on AT&T.
[Nexus One General] marra2:
I'm an ex iphone user and htc hd2 (pants) and the nexus one is by far the best phone i've ever had and i've had loads !!!
[Nexus One General] jacksonj51:
Nexus one hands down!

My favorite among many is... ask an iphone owner to take a picture in the dark! Oh nevermind!

But without making this an iphone vs N1 battle... Android is the future

Don't let all the bad publicity about the Nexus sink in... it's all overrated, this is an awesome phone
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
Not going to adress your whole wall-of-text, sorry about that. Just a little note, a 16GB card does NOT cost $100, it's under half of that.

And as a little counterweight: I must say I enjoy Win7 and Android a lot more than OSX and iphone, but that might be just me. Also I'm not a devout follower of any computer software and I will never convert to anything. If I think it's better for my needs, I will use it (having had WM phones, ipods, iphones etc etc). I still use a ipod nano 16GB as my mp3 player because it's small and has a nice screen (although without itunes).

People saying they are converts to computer software/hardware well... too bad for them imo
[Nexus One General] jim256:
Hey, thanks for the input. Would you mind dropping a link to a 16gb card cheaper than that? I have always been surprised they were so expensive, guess I have just been looking in the wrong places.

As for the convert issue...I agree. For example, I was going to drop my iPhone and move to the Nexus One until I tried one out, and discovered that it's 3G will only work with TMobile, and only in the US. What I meant by convert is...right now I have OS X and I have Win 7 ultimate, and I have an iPhone and have had many HTC phones and...

In my experience

, and

for my uses

, Apple products have proved time and time again to be vastly superior. But the second the "Nexus Two" comes out and beats the latest iPhone...I'm on board :) I've really always wanted an Android phone, and really always thought it would conquer. However for the time being, the 3GS 32GB jailbroken has proved the top of the pack for me.
[Nexus One General] human_error:
Just wanted to address this - the 3G on the nexus will work fine outside the US - some carriers like those in canada dont necissarily use the tmob US frequencies but the whole of europe (on all carriers) and significant parts of the rest of the world does.
[Nexus One General] jim256:
How sure are you about this? From my understanding, even T-Mobile in other countries doesn't use the T-Mobile US 3G frequency. I was under the impression that T-Mobile US alone used their 3G frequency.

Can anyone help us out here?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
For someone that sells smartphone for a living... Europe runs on the 2100MHZ and 900MHZ band for it's 3G. At the moment, mostly the 2100MHZ is being used in Europe/Asia, perhaps a few have shifted to 900MHZ in select markets(a la AT&T moved it's 3G from the 1900 to 850 bands in many markets).

So, the Nexus One, with 2100, AWS(1700MHZ) and 900 has both of the European/Asian bands, and thus is 100% compatiable with 3G outside the US/Canada.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
yes. most carriers in europe use T-Mobile USA's 3G Frequency. In fact its AT&T who is the odd one out.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Tmo uses 1700. 3G frequency and its only used on Tmo USA and on WIND Mobile in Canada

2100 is used in EU.

EDIT: actually Tmo uses 1700AWS UL and 2100AWS DL, but both are still not compatable with EU 2100IMT band thats use in Europe

N1 has all 3G fq. for USA, Canada (wind), and EU.
