[Imagio ROM Development] hdokes:
I have purchased windows based smartphones since it was the ONLY player in the market with Windows CE 1.0. I have probably purchased 12 to 15 different variations of a windows based smartphone over the last 10 years. I have developed apps left and right for win ce and winmo. The fact that Microsoft has created immediate obsolescence on every winmo 6.5 phone by not allowing forward migration is the final straw for me. Particularly with an OS that effectively will have NO support when it's released for 3rd party apps. I really believe microsoft has lost what ever clout and status they had in the pda market for good. I will NEVER purchase another MS based smartphone again. Bill Gates can sit on them and spin. In the end I have to say that the Imagio, while giving the promise of longevity, expandibility, and all around blissfulness, has turned out to be the worst, bar none, pda purchase I have ever made. And I am still stuck with 14 months left on this *&*^*) assed 2 year verizon contract on it.

Purchased my first Droid the other day. The Droid X. MAN what a beautiful pda! This thing does mega circles around my Imagio and winmo. With the 60,000 plus apps available for it... my ability to build apps around it as well... and the shear elegance of the unit... this may very well be the last pda I ever purchase.

As the Imagio fades into "paper weight" status... Homer Dokes rides off into the sunset with his Droid X at his side.... tomorrow will be a good day!

Wow

You must of had some Really Great phones before the Imagio if that is your worst one ever! What were they?!!! I want to get one!

Hey,

I'm having trouble getting my phone to mount the SD card through USB. I've tried windows and linux computers. I've tried different cords. I've tried rebooting the phone and the computers. The phone will charge off the USB, but it won't mount or notify me to mount it. I can't get it to work.

I'm running:

Cyanogen 4.2.14 on G1

Apps2SD with linux-swap space

Windows vista and Ubuntu

Any help would be appreciated

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tdt1345:
you have to go to recovery mode and press the usb toggle and it should show up on your computer then just reboot your phone and then you'll start getting the notification

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSmonkey64:
Hey, Sorry to spam with a general question.

My current phone is on it's death bed (SE P900). I want to upgrade to an X1a (via rogers in canada) but i'm a little worried if I should or wait it out for an X2. I'm over all very keen on getting either an X1 or X2 (due to an actual keyboard and a stylus based touch screen, I just can't use an iphone touch screen at all, plus the OS pisses me off). I'm also looking to maybe do some xperia panel programming on the side (mostly making some small simple games with some simple use of 3d).

I think I could wait it out for an X2 but i'm worried it's going to be a long 6-8 months+ before it's available in canada. Not to mention I expect the price to be a little too high for a while. Yet if I get an X1a now, my wife is not going to let me upgrade again for another 2-3 years. =)

So should I wait or just go a head and get an X1 now?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akay_7:
if you want to wait i suggest you hold out for a snapdragon powered device that you prefer. If you dont want to wait just get the X1. The X1 and X2 share the same hardware apart from certain differences, so your not really losing anything hugely important
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoAssasin:
Not sure what price your getting from rogers, but i got my x1a just awile ago for $1 signing a 3 year contract so i pretty much had nothing to lose upgrading. I usually do a hardware upgrade every 1-2 years and sign a new contract with a better plan each time. I highly suggest talking with customer relations as only they can give you better deals than whats advertised.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydock:
How much is Rogers letting you upgrade the phone for? I think I'm getting ripped off through customer relations...

PsychoAssassin: When did you sign the 3 year contract? I did mine last week and it was absolutely nowhere near $1...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSmonkey64:
PsychoAssasin,

What is your current plan? I'm kind of happy with my plan that I got 6 years ago.

Back durring christmas, if you signed a 3 year contract they were giving away a X1 for only $1.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
personally I would get x10 or the newer android models

as wm7 is likely to be closed land for other wm devices

and wm6.X is a dead platform
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydock:
I renewed my contract and chose the $50/month plan with a couple of freebies on top. They're charging me $149 + $35 administration for the X1 with a $50 "hardware upgrade" mail-in rebate. The site says the phone is only $99 for a 3yr term, so what's the deal? Does the hardware upgrade rebate take off the $50 I was supposed to be saving to begin with? Something doesn't sound right, but the lady I spoke to told me that was the price that was showing up for her. I'm defnitely going to call back to see if there's anything I can do, since I like this phone. I'm still under the 15 days grace period.

PSmonkey64: How much are they charging you for the X1? I definitely want to get a better price for mine.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akay_7:
hardware upgrade prices can and will most often differ from new contract prices. But recently Rogers has changed their hardware upgrade policy to now say that all clients are eligible for new customer pricing after 2 years. So Rydock if it has been 2 years you are eligible to get the X1a for $99 + $35 admin fee. On top of that you can use the $50 mail in rebate to effectively bring the cost down to $49.99 + $35 admin fee. This policy doesnt apply to corporate customers, which is why I had to pay about $300 (without signing up for data) for it about 2 months after it came out on the rogers network

regarding the grace period, remember its 15 days or 30 mins of talktime whichever comes first.

PSmonkey64,

if you are dead set on getting a sony ericsson Xperia, Rogers will be getting the X10 in Q2. If you were to wait for an xperia let that be the model of choice
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydock:
Yeah, I've been with Rogers for over 3 years, and they were asking for $149. I'll give them a call tomorrow to sort this out.

I haven't put my sim in the X1 yet because I've just been playing around with it to see if I liked it. I've decided to keep it, so I'm just trying to figure a way to get all my contacts from my razr to my X1. Also, I want to use the new sim since my old card is all beat up and scratched. How do I go about doing this, or do I have to call Rogers?

To the OP, sorry for the thread hijack. I'd say the X1 would be totally worth it because of the low price and supposed slightly stronger units. Also, there is tons of support here.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akay_7:
yea the rogers xperia has a slightly new build which helps prevent cracks, but i did manage to develop one right beside the power bottom, but i would blame myself from the numerous times i dropped it.

your best bet for contact transfer would be to use the moto software to sync contacts with outlook and then sync your x1 with outlook.

for the sim card, call rogers, they will/will not deal with it as im not sure on their policy towards that.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Hmm, why so negative?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
I just feel that as it is looking right now

android is a safer bet then wm

wm7 seem to be more a evolution of zuneHD then old wm

and don't think the classic app store from ms will improve too much with more focus being put on wm7
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Well, I kind of disagree on that...

I mean we can only guess but I don't imagine

WM beeing really not open in some way and competitive.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
My feeling is that MS will drastically cut the price of WM 6.X to manufacturers, so that there will continue to be a big base. I think we'll continue to see no-frills but nice hardware phones like the LG Expo start to come in at the $400 price range and below. The WP 7 phones will get all the press and be the headline phones for the carriers and cost $600-$800 unsubsidized. I think MS will just gradually improve the finger friendliness and look of WM 6.X with a few more releases. As processors and hardware improve, it should become a fast and lightweight OS. Not a bad outlook, in my opinion.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSmonkey64:
Well just to note an update.

I end up coughing up the extra $$$ (and convincing the wife) and buying an X2. The reason being I saw one on ebay being sold by a person only 10 mins away that was barely used.

So far i'm loving it. I do have a question for anybody who might know, How do I get the X2 to auto connect to my home's wifi when i'm home? Messing/configuring the phone i've had to restart it a few times and every time it starts with wifi turned off.

Now to figure out how the hell to setup the xperia sdk (the emu isn't properly running, also it seems I can't debug opengl ES with it?).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truelied:
take a Toshiba TG01. it's much cheaper.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa7640:
Both X1 and X2 use legacy CPU... I think you may consider other alternatives...

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dre4402:
ok i been using the basic txt/pic messaging app installed on the phone but it seems as if i dont get all my txts or pik messages. Even if i do get pic mail i might not be able to open/download it. so do i need another messaging app if so what do you rec????
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
Chompsms and Handcent seem to be the most popular third party messaging apps. Be sure to disable the notifications on the stock messaging app if you decide to go with a third party app.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dre4402:
but will i be able to recieve majority of my txts/pik mail or be able to open them
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
I use Handcent and receive all texts and mms.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johndoehizzle:
Chompsms n handcent r both great apps.

Sounds like ur havin an mms problem.where the download button will appear n it wont let u download the pics....if so,u gotta do the sprint ruu....try these apps first though......im assuming thats the problem,i was havin this issue a few weeks ago,where it wouldnt let me open/downoad the pics.....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mistamike17:
I'm having this same issue with gbhil's Donut rom. I get a gray "Downloading" message on the one picture message I've actually received since I switched. Other messages that I know have been sent either aren't coming in at all or aren't being recognized by the stock Messaging app.

johndoehizzle, can you go into more detail about "u gotta do the sprint ruu"?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Darkshneider:
I thought Donut ROMs didnt have MMS.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mistamike17:
This would certainly explain the confusion, but it goes against several of the posts I've read that say that some have MMS working... while others, like myself, are left without it. :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Darkshneider:
So its pretty much like the SMS issue, some got it, some dont. I feel you though, I got the SMS issue when using Donut, sucks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johndoehizzle:
yeah man,i had this happen once n the sprint people didnt know or couldnt fix it..this other time,it was kind of happening again,but it fixed itself...not sure,im thinking its like a sprint network "fart" or somethin lol....

download the sprint RUU here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=608434

this thing basicly wipes EVERYTHING off your phone,leaving it like brand new,like the first time you power it on when u take it out the box.make sure to backup/sync your contacts top your google account....this will erase all your downloaded app's....it sucks doin this,but it fixes that mms issue.....you just have to re-root your phone and install a rom again...you can try to make a backup of your current rom that you have and restore it.that could work.i didnt wanna do this cause i was afraid that the backup was bad and i was gonna have to deal with the same mms thing and have to do the sprint ruu..hopefully i made helped/ made sense.lol...
[G1 Android Development] gadget421:
I must of spent hr and hrs trying roms to find the easiest and fastest roms out there. But when you find one that flows nicely and without fc's. How to test which one is faster. I downloaded setcpu and tried to understand it. Now after flashing a rom, I set the phone the exact way for each rom. Exept hero roms( slow) and flashy. I dont need that , my option. I did some tests using setcpu. 10 tests at 528. 384 works great for battery saving(sleep,charging) w/10mb hack.

cyanogen 4.2.14.1 fast avg .... 6.60ms

fasttest 2.3 faster avg .... 6.50ms

fasttest 2.6 fastest avg .... 6.25ms

i'm using task killer,lock,weater wiget,battery widget,setcpu,htmtouch input all ignored. task killer avg 30m

mytouch 3g

I thing this a simple way to test these new rons on who is the fastest. My option.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
There are many changes you can do to get a lower or higher MS, hero roms usually have a lower MS than a donut ROM. So this isn't full proof.
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
Dwang 1.17.1: best 571 ms; worst 591 ms

There's no competition, this is the ROM you want if speed and stability is your thing. It's so good Dwang hasn't updated it for a while (there's nothing to improve IMHO).

P.S. this test is not 100% relevant, user experience is the ultimate test but that's hard to compare.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Its personal opinion. I personally love Super D. I stick more with his and Openeclair ROM's so yeah.

..personal opinion.
[G1 Android Development] freekyfrogy:
Open Eclair 1.2.2 is the fastest eclair ROM i've ever run... ever. It's as fast as CM! but it's not out to the general public yet, lol. but yeah just a heads up, grab it as soon as it's out!

P.S. I found it. The TRIAL can be downloaded from synorate.com (since I am a new user I cant post a link). My guess would be that we have to pay for the full version, but I am not sure, the website doesnt say anything about it. I will try it and post up w/e I find out.

P.S.2 It could be bought from their website and the price is $14.99

Now im wondering how long does the trial last...

Anyway if some1 finds a free program please post

P.S.3 Its a 30-day trial
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Iceman692:
lmao. I wonder how many idiots they get that lock their files and then realize that their trial ran out so they have to buy the full version. Ingenious. lol

Here's an app that I just stumbled upon that I think will do what your looking for. Details and cab below..

JFJ Software - WM Passwords

WM Passwords is a secure windows mobile application where you can store and organize all your passwords. All password information is store in a secure encrypted file and can only be accessed using your password. You only need to remember one password to access them all! The program automatically shutdown if idle. Requires .NET Compact Framwork 3.5

Application website HERE
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
I use a directory on my PC with hundreds of passwords and I want access to it on my mobile without fear of someone getting access if I loose the phone.

So far the only method I have found is a password protected .RAR

This means I can update it on PC or Mobile and just sync it up.

I find all these password programs that store passwords for you a missing this sort of functionality. it would take me hours to add them all to a new program.

Still, we could do with something stronger than a .rar.

Something like pgpDrive would be great.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afiellerddr:
I feel I've made a terrible (and stupid) mistake. I decided to unroot my phone from cyanogen roms. I read a how to guide that I guess was outdated because now I have android 1.0 firmware. The guidw was [how to] unroot by tubaking182 (absolutely zero offense to him, not his fault, I'm stupid, etc etc.) So I now have stock version 1.0. There's no check for system updates under about phone in settings so I can't do that. There are file manager apps that I could use to rename the necessary updates into update.zip, but there's no apps available like download crutch so I can download them. I also can't enter recovery. It gives me a triangle with an exclamation inside next to a image of a phone and that's it and I have no idea how to install an update without recovery mode. As I'm sure you've noticed by now, I'm the epitome of newb and feel free to laugh at my failure. I just really need someone to help me and would be eternally grateful.
