Nevermind, I got it to work. There was another additional key entry that had to be deleted that had wap.cingular.com:80 too. Thanks for the help guys! This forum is awesome. I only have one other issue to work on and thats the HTC messaging.

I am using the newest Energy ROM and when I go to send a SMS it uses windows mobile SMS program instead of the HTC one. However, if I open a incoming one by double tapping on the main screen it will go into the HTC one. Any ideas?
[Touch Cruise General] tintertui:
Hello, firstly i hold my head in shame by being one of those owners of a bit of kit that should have been given to my teenage son, but however i'm 34 years old and in somewhat of a pickle. Here's my dilema and if anyone can help i would be grateful for some light at the end of this....

Ok I have genuine O2 Xda Orbit 2 handset, just got the £20/month 12 month contract sim, internet works fine, voice calls fine alas no video calls, always says failed. O2 assure me that it's all tickey boo their end and it could be something to do with the previous owner messin with the handset settings, they seem relutant to support me with handset problems seeing as i'm just a contract sim 'council' customer. I did however get talked through some rom updates only to be told O2 don't support video calls on this phone. If anyone could suggest anything else other than a hammer or me reverting back to Asda pay as you go .......

Once again HELP!

I've had it for like 4 months now and i keep trying to convince myself its a good phone but reality is it has NOOO ADVANTAGES over Iphone WATSOEVER... its slow as ****K and i can't even sync it with my pc anymore, theres no good games for it AT ALL, NO good applications, NO good panels, the housing cracked even though i take care of it like my eyes, The volume buttons stoppd working 5 minutes ago out OF NOWHERE... REALITY IS PEOPLE WANT IT TO BE GOOD BECAUSE ITS A SONY ERICSON... SORRRYYY this phone is pathetic... waste of 3 billz...
[XPERIA X1 General] emuneee:
haha, man you should have just bought the iPhone. There are days I feel like this though. :p
[XPERIA X1 General] matejdro:
- There are many advantages over iphone (just hints: flash, multitasking, costumization etc.)

- If you install proper rom, that phone can be really fast

- What games would you want? There are many great games for WM i think you just dont know to search.

- No good applications? Stop kidding me.

- No good panels? OK i cant say about that one because i dont use panels.

- Im currently lucky and i have no hardware issues (cracking, buttons etc.) so i rather say nothing.

- I buyed that phone because it was best Windows Mobile phone for reasonable price and not because of brand (i prefer Nokia over SE).

P.S.: Why are everyone judging phone by comparison to iPhone? This is like comparing saying truck sucks because its not as fast as race car. iPhone is made for joking, there is no costumization and walls are everywhere, while windows mobile phones are not as awesome out of box, you need to costumize it and make it like you want. If you want everything out of box and walls, buy iPhone, else stick with WM.
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
let's hope you stay that lucky with your hardware - mine's been to repairs for 8 weeks in 11 months...

and please, stop putting lipstick on the pig called "x1" - it's firmware is bad. sw-support by SE is nonexistent/dead/dropped since end of march 2009. it's build-quality is evil. it's a phone which had high potential, but never had a chance because of the manufacturer. and by the looks of it, they're trying to pull the same stunt with the x2. games?! well, there would be some, yes. but without accelerometer this put's some limits to it these days? oh, did i mention the crappy graphics-driver? it's supposed to support opengl es 1.1 - well, sometimes it does, sometimes not.

the threadstarter uses harsh words, but he's still right.
[XPERIA X1 General] Concentrate:
I agree completely about the build quality. WTH is up when the phone starts cracking for no apparent reason!

Panels are useless. Games, don't know about this cause I've never found mobile games fun at all.

If we're not comparing it to the iphone, we could compared it to the touch pro 2, which I think seems better.
[XPERIA X1 General] bgeorgi:
Im currently running Nrgz rom its heaven compared to stock... i want SOME games that the iphone has, good graphics good gameplay, but the biggest limitation is tha since x1 isnt multitouch screen it can't play majority of those games, i've played need for speede xperiment 13(best of all, but not really action), xtract, and THATS ITT thats all the xperia games specifically made for xperia, i've played star craft its not bad but ofcourse it'll get boring, right now im playing monopoly the most... but my friend crushed my world when he showed me the monopoly on his iphone... its beautiful LOL no homo, 3d smooth gameplay etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] c_legaspi:
just be done with it and get the iphone. dont agonize yourself anymore. i too wanted an iphone but i sure wish it had a better resolution.

keep the x1 as a backup to mess with.

im not into gaming so the x1a does everthing i need it to do. no cracks (had it about 1-1/2yrs), dropped it twice (still no cracks, just a few scratches) and still using the original rom. the only thing that i dont like on the x1a is the small screen.

ive had some good luck with my phone and winmo (rarely any lockups or freezes). i was seriously thinking about getting the hd2 for my next phone but since winmo seems to be changing their operating system, ill just hold off for another couple years if my phone last that long.
[XPERIA X1 General] flamingsamurai:
I love how every third thread in this forum is about how bad the X1 is.

Somebody start one about how much people love it :)
[XPERIA X1 General] imperiallight:
No other device competes with the iphone for usefulness primarily because of its app store and cydia.

Big advantages of the X1 off top of my head:

- Keyboard

- Slimness

- Camera Flash

- Flash mobile

- Metallic build

- Screen resolution

- User replaceable battery (I max out my iphone battery)

- Win Mo/Android/Ubuntu all in one device

- X panels is pretty neat IMO.

- Emulated games in Morphgear using hardware keys

Try Valkarie Leo firestorm ROM. Its really good and stable so far. I do know what you mean about slowness in some ROMS.

As for basic programs alot of them are good: web, PDF, Movies, Text etc For more advanced and exotic apps you need an iphone or a pocket computer :) Although opera mini is so fast you can use a lot of web based apps.

Better still get an X1 and cheapo Ipod Touch 2nd gen JB. Battery goes down like hell using iphone for calls and everything else.
[XPERIA X1 General] anothadave:
no matter how much the X1 pissed me off i still wouldnt of resorted to the iphone. its the phone equivalent of those tattoos every other girl has got on her lower back. lol. they look ok at first then you realise that everyone else has got one and theyre common and skanky!!
[XPERIA X1 General] at45:
I think you're right that people who can't type properly and who don't know (or want to know) how to set-up their WinMo phone to suit them are more suited to the iPhone. Same for people who think that writing in capitals makes their comments stand out, when really people just laugh at you shouting at the world.

This could be good for you though, since you'll either have to learn some things or put up with something you don't like.

Saying that everyone bought it for the SE name is pretty retarded, since neither Sony nor SE have much of a reputation left in their respective fields. I can't stand Sony: it's a HTC phone which SE commissioned and made a loss on, but it's a great phone if you set it up right.

What were your reasons for choosing the X1? Sounds like either you didn't have any, or you don't have one and you're one of those stupid teenagers who troll around shouting about how great the iPhone is hoping to have some influence on the world: like the ones who try and persuade you how to vote for by making up propaganda. Luckily for the world, most of you outgrow it by 25.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
He must have needed a reliable keyboard. The keyboard is not reliable.

He must have overestimated the screen size (I thought 3 inches was big, but boy I was wrong).

He must have never used Windows Mobile before, you either love it for the way it is or hate it for the difficulty of use.

He must have wanted a device that did not crack and that was resistant to wear and tear.

These are my reasons. Being that everyone said that the keyboard was amazing, I bought it. Being that everyone said the screen was huge. I bought it. Being that the X1 broke my Windows Mobile virginity, I expected it to be appealing and easy to use as if a little child can learn to use it; but no, now I am considering a different OS...probably Android because I love simplicity but require the complexity of windows mobile. Being that every reviewer stated the build quality is the BEST OF THE BEST, I never expected it to crack and loose keyboard sensitivity, let alone the loosened battery cover that several others have reported.

The true lesson is, do not listen to ANY professional reviews, because the reviewers usually just review it for a few months. You need to wait 1 year and a half to truly get the actual details for the long run.

And the best way to finally decide if you want the device or not is to listen to people like him; well not him, people like him except who explain in detail why the phone is not for them.
[XPERIA X1 General] yaboistarr:
My opinion

I believe that i was as hype as everyone else was when the x1 was introduced with its great intro campaign and website. but the main issue is that sony abandoned it. i think( my opinion) that the x1 would be as great as the i phone if wm had a great app store with apps for everything even the useless stupid but fun apps and if they worked hard on making the panel concept the next big thing. i only change my panels when i want to change my theme easier. other then that every program can be opened without the panel thingy. i still use my x1 and havent switched to the i phone probably only because of the developers on this site. its even more sad to say that it seems that sony realized that there traditional wm stock phones cant compete with iphone that theyve changed the title and he entire ui for wm7, which will not be availible for x1 or x2. the x1 and all the availible roms are still great for now but i believe (my opinion) that Iphone will reign supreme for numbers of years to come even without screen resolution, flash, emulating and all the other things we use to make ourselves feel better. The backbone of X1's aare the developers on this site, not sony.
[XPERIA X1 General] Viper89:
It's sad to read thread like this. I absolutely love my X1 and have not regraded buying it. The only thing that annoyed me was the freezing when I first bought it but flashed to 6.5 and that has stopped. Cracks: I've dropped my phone many time so I expect cracks. Screen Size: Coming from the Moto Rokr E6 with a screen size of 2.4inch with a res 240X320, the X1 screen is big upgrade and i love it. Speed: Try Touch it Roms or Rostrain Blaze roms, I've never tried the rom your using nor do i want to by the way your describing the speed;). Aslo for Speed have you tried the Teksoft Speed Booster APP,Advance Config 3.3 ,BsB Ram sweeper 2, and SK Tools?, They all works well in my phone. Games: Have you played Assassin Creed HD, Asphalt 4 HD, Call of Duty 2(only works for 6.1 roms sadly:() or even the PS1 Emulater(FpseCE0.10)? Pm if you want a good site for games;). And as graphics go have you tried different Video drivers like Driver Pack 3, X2 Video drivers, SJ SamsungOmina_Driver_D3D? I run them all in my phone except the Driver Pack 3 because of the 6.5. Like people said if you set your phone up right then it is a real joy to have. Also Keep in mind This is my first WM phone ever(Lots of people warned me not to get WM) and I had my phone for 5 month and my Keyboard works fine never had an issue. Man if you wanted the I-phone to begin with then why didn't you just get it? You should of known that I-phone and the X1 are 2 complete different phones and Having hopes that the X1 was supposed to be like the I-phone was silly.
[XPERIA X1 General] imperiallight:
Assuming you use the X1 in landscape with Opera Mini beta 5 full screen you will be getting 95% of the screen estate of iphones safari web browser (because of all the headers etc). Similarly holding the phone a bit closer increases the magnification. No multitouch for sure but scrolling with the D pad at the side is fun when consuming webpages.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
The phone isn't that bad if you have a high tolerance for the technicality.
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
i have to agree that this phone is ****. I really do.

But im not gonna compare it to the iPhone because thats like comparing apple and banana. iPhone and Xperia have their own segment and target market.

Now that that is straight, the phone is an utter **** because the way SE package the whole thing as a premium phone. I had mine on January 09 and expecting the device and CS would be good, instead the device keyboard lost sensitivity after just 2 months, keyboard cracked after 6 months, and SE pulled the plug on the software after the R3A.

To me, that is just crap. Their Customer Service is just so dumb that i don't want to see them anymore. Don't know about other country, but they simply crap in my country.

I asked them to replace my cracked keyboard and initially the CS said that i will lose all my data. Since when replacing and cleaning keyboard needs a hard reset huh? after that, the CS asked me to leave the device in their custody until the next stock of keyboard comes. They ran out of it when i went there. They told me to wait for around a month or so. A full month without my phone. Crazy.

After lengthy verbal argument, i got them to order the keyboard while i still keep the device. They will contact me when the keyboard comes. This was at the end of November 09.

guess what?

they never called. Nothing .I still am waiting for their call.

bunch of liars...lucky i sold my phone in december. I had enough of it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Viper89:
Wow reading that post, that's Bullsh!t how they played you like that. I haven't had to deal with CS yet I guess I'm lucky...... so far;).
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
@poetryrocksalot:

of course reviews are only made after weeks of usage, not years. And it's not them to blame about the cracks - admit it: the phone seems like high build quality compared to other slide smartphones. F.e. a guy in my class who owns the iPhone always says how nice the metal feels like. Compared to the Nokia N97 which is crap, the SE Xperia feels solid. Feels better than an iPhone imho.

But if you wait a year if that phone really is a good one before you buy it, than its old and what you get is a solid phone with old software...so make a decision what you want =)

@mr_sheen

this story is really sad. I talked to SE service in Germany last Thursday and sent it in Friday. The parcel has not arrived at their repair centre, but they told me already they have something like the 48 hours policy. Once my phone arrived they'll look after it and then it back no later than 48 hours (2 days) what absolutely is acceptable. Hopefully they make it true and also replace the housing (cracks in 4 different places...droped it once but not from a high place...). Phone still looks like new...and also they told me Id lose all my data and I had to go back to stock ROM and spl what was a pain in the as*...

But I think that has nothing to do with the Xperia. Every manufacturing says you'll lose data even if they only change hardware (or are supposed to do so..) maybe I even get a new phone..Thats what I still hope =)
[XPERIA X1 General] Sera_6969:
X1 is the best phone i've ever owned. And i say that knowing how crap SE handsets have become.

It's just so much fun to play with and getting more versatile all the time. And after 12 months ownership and hard usage, i still have no cracks or hardware issues :D

[Nexus One General] kesi:
Hi, I had a few questions about how to apply the update to my rooted Nexus One

I followed these directions to unlock my bootloader and root my phone using Amon RA and Cyanogen's N1 addon

Now I am unable to get the update manually or automatically. So, from what I understand, I have to flash one of these images but I'm not sure which one to use.

Questions:

1. Which of these should I use to get the update + root access?

2. Will this wipe all of my apps and settings and, if so, is there a way to back those up?

Details:

Firmware Version: 2.1

Kernel Version:2.6.29-bacon1\shade@toxygene #1

Build Number: ERD79

Let me know if you need any more info and thanks!

That really doesn't answer either of my questions since it talks about going back to the stock unrooted rom...
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
You will want to follow this for a 100% stock update ROM, except it can be flashed to a rooted N1:

http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/

If you want root, follow the link provided in the first post to add root to it.

If you want better descriptions, sorry, but that is about as point blank as it gets.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
So youre trying to go to the stock rom update2? If youre rooted you should really try cyanogen or similar they will provide some pretty cool options that wont be in the official roms. Just sayin if youre rooted might as well take full advantage.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

So I rooted this morning, went well, no problems along the way. Immediately installed this Android Wifi Tether application (linked above) and it isn't working right.

Any computer I connect to the phone will get an IP assigned to it, it sees the gateway (phone) but it cannot ping it, cannot ping out to the internet.

IPConfig output looks like this:

IP Address: 192.168.1.103

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.2.254

I've tried following the FAQ on the site, tried reinstalling the config files whatever, no help. I've also tried enabling/disabling WEP security, makes no difference, the computer still connects and sees the network as unsecured. :wtf:

If there's a different application I should use let me know. I'm just wondering if there are other settings I should be playing with.

Are you on the stock ROM or a custom ROM?

Stock rom.

I think its one that has a pre1 in it

You should have a custom ROM to use that, I recommend MoDaCo's if you don't want your phone to change that much. Also, give mine a try :)

On MoDaCo now, working fine, wifi tether works flawlessly.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jmhalder:
although there was something in the stock rom that interfered (that most custom roms dont have), it DOES work with the pre1 version that was mentioned and posted... you do not HAVE to upgrade to a cooked rom.

Hi Guys,

You should download the 1.70 pre2 version. It will keep your phone from heating up so much like the earlier versions did. I've been using it on Fresh 1.1, Gumbo 1.5b, and the various 2.1 ROMS lately, all with great results.

yeah if u read the Seven services print and all it tells u that it uses International texting everytime u have to Setup a new account. But thats the only time.

The way to stop this is to just turn off phone portion and connect via Wifi, create ur account and then continue like normal.

i haven't had any good times with Seven, i loved xpress mail and still used that till i saw Gmail has its own server u can use activesync to connect to for push mail. i just redirect all my mail from all places to gmail and get it instantly on my phone =)
