[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch14:
you can just go to settings>buttons and assign either keft or right soft key to screen rotate, easiest way IMO
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
No i cant..there is only the left and right softkey button. Nothing else..and i could not setup a long press this way.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
x1ButtonMapper, already tried that?

cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannigan174:
I use AEButon Plus on my X1a and I am thrilled with it. It doesn't have much (if any) negative effect on performance on mine.

Have you tried it on the X1?

Also for End Key there is a program called "Long Press End Key" I think. It is nice, and cooked into a lot of ROMs.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
hi m8, he's trying to replace it with an alternative app...as stated in #1 :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
Havent tried that yet, can it do what i want?

I guess i could use mortscript for rotation, long press is obviously possible.

But what do i use as fast taskmanager? Can i start the built in taskmanager as application? And what can i use to password lock my device?

Edit: seems i loose the TAB key with X1ButtonMapper and the EndCall button isnt inclueded...thats bad :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
Is there a way to change some of the keys directly in the registry?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
have a look here, didn't check, just searched (doing your homework btw...)

advanced config - menu (button) - more settings - key mappings
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
Mobile Magic doenst support the buttons i need. No longpress for End and no support for the OK button at all..that was the first program i tried.

To bad the options for the End key are grey in Advanced Conifg.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandie:
X1BC should allow for a lot more options than mx X1ButtonMapper. I think there is also a second application from the same author called X1BH or something. Check that out.

X1ButtonMapper is pretty lightweight actually. The most overhead involved will be by calling the script functionality but that is done asynchronous, meaning that X1ButtonMapper doesn't wait for the called application or script to finish - it just launches it.

I didn't remap the red and green phone buttons because they can't be easily remapped and I think they are central buttons which should keep their original functionality. I think remapping them will cause more bugs than you will gain functionality. With X1ButtonMapper you already gain enough options for the remaining keys (each with short and long press) which should be enough for most applications. You can also reassign the missing FN+key combos on the keyboard.

I did use the Tab key as Ctrl substitude because I think Tab is not important for Windows Mobile. It is substituted in most dialogs with the right/left keys so use these. You can get the original Tab function when pressing FN+Tab for the few situations where you really need it.

I am using X1ButtonMapper for a long time now and havn't had any stability issues - maybe that's the trade off for having less features.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
X1Button manager somehow didnt react to my OK key. I allready have a standalone taskmanager mortscript could run but Ok didnt do anythink. Longpress of the softkeys to rotate the screen worked nicely though.

Longpress delay is a little longer than im used to but that not a big problem.

The longpress of the End key has allready a keylock function as standard setting (wich i find totally stupid because i turn the device of with the switch on top). There must be a registry setting that i could alter so it would run the password lock instead.

I will check into X1BC...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurps:
X1BC works thank you...and i like it much more than X1BM because i can setup everything to my likings, longpress timing, vibration on/off and wether i want a Control key replacement.

I could even use the panel key to lock my device if reprogramming of the end key button is not possible.

Does anyone know wich program i have to run to password lock my device? Maybe its possbile with mortscript..i should check that...

Basically, when I leave wi-fi on my phone has incredible battery life. If someone has already mentioned this feel free to bury this post, but to my knowledge it doesn't seem this has been posted yet.

With wi-fi off and 3g on

- Battery lost 5-6 percent per hour

Wi-fi on

- Battery lost 1-2 percent per hour (sometimes less than 1 percent depending on what your doing)

Right now after having my phone on for 34 hours my battery is still at 70 percent! I'm fairly certain this is because it disables the 3g radio altogether which apparently is a real battery hog. That or maybe my phone is just a fluke. I really don't know.

This also seems to be tied to the htc sense rom (correct me if im wrong) but if i remember correctly battery drainage increased when wifi was enabled in the stock rom. Currently, I'm using the latest htc sense rom from modaco, I'd really enjoy hearing if enabling wifi helps others extend their battery life.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
your having better battery life with the Desire ROMs? that odd, my battery life with a Desire ROM was 20-30% worse compared to stock.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Actually, it's a well known fact that 3G uses more power on most (every?) phones than Wifi... so you're not alone. ;)
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Hey when you say WIFI on..do you mean WIFI and EDGE or did you completely disabled the radio?
[Nexus One General] amlwaycooljr:
I never would have thought having wifi on would extend battery life to such a great extent though, in most of the latest cell phone reviews and what not everyone recommends to have wifi off saves battery life but in this case just the opposite is true. I kinda knew the wifi was more efficient but I never expected such a large benefit from leaving wifi on all the time.

@ram130 I haven't actually touched the radios at all so I expect them all to be on or at the very least have edge on, I am able to receive and send calls and txt so I'm assuming at least some cell radio has to be on. All I did was use the htc sense rom and enable wifi.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
The cellular radio is still on, but 3G/Edge (data) are disconnected. I don't know how Edge compares to Wifi, but 3G is a battery killer in comparison.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
In other words you have "use 2G networks" checked right?

I'm gonna try this is now. I'm currently at 3hr 32m unplugged with 80% left. I have wifi enabled and on the stock rom. So I'll post back when I wake in a few a hours and see how it goes.

My only problem:

Wifi seems to disconnect alot during the hour regardless if sleep policy is set to NEVER. My wifi signal is -78dBm to -86dBm in my room and on channel 11(used wifi analyzer). Any suggestions why?
[Nexus One General] neoranga:
I have the same experience at home, I enable Wifi and leave the phone stay home for a couple of days and battery still 40%, when I go out and wifi is not connected, 3G kicks in and battery drops much faster.

I'm using cyanogen 5.0.4.1
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Interesting. Did not know this!

I guess I won't feel so bad about leaving my phone on Wifi all day!

Also, does anyone know how much power is used by not having a radio signal and letting it constantly search? That seems to destroy my battery. But sometimes I am in an area with wifi but no radio access (deep within a building).
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
It's too bad this phone doesn't have UMA - that would make up for T-Mobile's lack of indoor coverage (at times), and probably improve battery life a lot in some cases.

But I have to say that on another phones I've used, especially WinMo devices, using WiFi instead of 3G seemed to always use more battery. But, it could very well be different on this phone...I'm definitely going to give this a try.
[Nexus One General] superg81:
im not sure about the percentage but i agree,the battery drain is considerably more when searching for radio.im in a building most of the day and it doesnt take long.miss the UMA i had on my bberry.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
I also Get. About 25% better battery on wifi
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Well after 10hrs of the phone being on stand by I woke up. It was at 46%!! my god. Anyway I checked my email, read an article all taking around 15mins and guess what? I had 30% left!. I put it back to stand by for 3hrs and took a look at it and had about 16% left...

It is now charging after one hour with just 10min use of downloading apps ..Can ANYONE tell me why my battery is draining so much on wifi? When its on EDGE for the night after 10hr I would have around 70% left from a full charge. Anyone can help me out here?

I shall be getting a replacement battery for free Tuesday.

Stock android.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Did you set your phone to only use 2G networks also? If you're not charging, wifi will probably disable after not being used for a while..so it's probably rolling to 3G if you haven't disabled it.

I'm not saying it's convenient to constantly switch back and forth... but this explains why it may not be a good test of the battery life the way you're running it.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Well yes I have it on 2G only. Any thing else could be contributing to it dying so fast?
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Well I found a way to use my laptop as an AP. So I connected my N1 to it and getting full bars(-41dBm) in my room now. No wifi disconnects so far!(maybe it was my linksys before ?).. So far the battery is at 86% with some 3D games, been unplug for 1hr 50min now. I'll put it to stand by now and see how it looks after 10hrs.

I'm on a stock firmware(not rooted). 2G only selected.
[Nexus One General] drak0:
The way I understand it is as follows:

Phone is on STANDBY:

3g==2g* which are both more efficient then wifi (that's why the default wifi policy turns wifi off if it's not being used)**

Phone is ACTIVE:

wifi is more efficient then 2g/3g because:

1) It's waaay faster and thus causes less battery drain* and

2) The AP (router) is much closer to the phone then the cell tower so in theory it doesn't need to use as much power to talk to the router.

*http://code.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/CodingLifeBatteryLife.html

4:45min into it there is a power usage chart and 3G/EDGE idle power usage is about the same - also somewhere else in the video they talk about wifi vs 3g usage when transferring data.

** http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/wiki/NewStandbyTechnique

States that 3g standby is more efficient then wifi
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Someone needs to test this ok. :D...already testing wifi
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Ok I'm at 11hrs 30min on wifi and its at 67% with light usage(checking email, news for 5min)..improvement? kinda, because since turning off my laptop it switched back to getting low signal(-81dBm) from the router in the next room. Weird? I'm still thinking.:D anyway I'm heading out so gonna use the phone more today, lets see if it gets me through the day.:confused:

Still no where near the thread starter 30hrs!! Maybe stock really sucks? bad battery anyone??
[Nexus One General] amlwaycooljr:
@ram130 I'm not sure how my battery is lasting as long as it has so far. I'm up to what would be an insane number, 65 hours 36 percent left .. this battery just wont die. I haven't the slightest idea how it's lasting this long I just leave wifi on all the time and turn wifi standby off. If anyone could explain how leaving wifi on more than quadruples my battery life I'd sure love to know.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
It guess it depends on whether you're in wifi range a lot of the day or not. If you're outside wifi range (as I am outside the house for example) you'll be using 3G and still have the wifi radio on so drain will be worse (not that I've ever found the 3G drain to be that bad.. I can and do last a couple of days between charges with it on).

It's worth a try.. when I first got the phone I found the wifi drain to be quite bad but there have been a few firmware update since.
[Nexus One General] :
The first time I used wifi on the desire rom, the phone turned off my radio completely. I didn't notice until I tried to make a call and realized I was basically in airplane mode.

Odd thing is, that is the only time it did it. Any other time I toggle wifi, my radio stays on now.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Ok well to update, I finished the day with 20hrs uptime on battery life on 2G and wifi at home....my battery officially sucks!:eek:

Anyway I'm getting a replacement for free from HTC in a couple hours..hopefully that works better.

ANY BATTERY CHARGING TIPS YALL CAN OFFER ME??

Wanna send me your battery? :cool:

Can you tell me if you had turned your phone on the first time you got it or did you charge it right away while its off before first use? And how do you charge your battery, with the phone on or off?? Do you even over charge it or as soon as its green you take it off??? I don't wanna mess up this new battery thats coming :D
[Nexus One General] maedox:
Take a look at what I wrote here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5769060#post5769060

That is my opinion on batteries and charging.

And I gotta say, leaving wi-fi on even when the screen is off really pays off! I have great wi-fi coverage at home, and moderate at work. With my normal usage pattern it probably decreased battery drain by 30 %.

The fact that wi-fi is way closer and a lot faster, combined with the undervolted kernel (kmobs oc-uv .33 latest as of 14/03) I have installed really pays off. Some engineers at Google/HTC/Qualcomm really did their job very well. :D
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Yea thats true maedox. Well my replacement battery just got here, just waiting for both to charge now. Will update you guys again if its any better.

Just to make sure, charge it off right?

anyone know why settings are not remembered ?

...because the developers haven't written it in the software... it doesn't remember settings on reboot

i was hoping the dev's would further develop this app, but it has been at 3.0.8 for months now... so i think it has been deserted.

does the job though...

Quote from the site:

BTW, I'm the developer of MarketAccess.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] peadarog:
Thank you for doing this! I have a stupid question, but I have to ask it, because I don't know how MarketAccess works.

Can you (or anybody) confirm that only the market is fooled? By this, I mean, I want to be sure that neither my telco nor the telco I'm spoofing will charge me for roaming and that any data I actually download while spoofing my location will still go through my normal APNs?

Thanks for your answer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CrazyCoder:
MarketAccess emulates SIM numeric of the chosen operator. My local provider APNs continue to work fine with no extra charges when I have T-Mobile emulated.

However, it may affect other applications which also depend on the SIM numeric. For example, the APN Settings dialog will start to show the APNs valid for the emulated provider (SIM numeric = MCC+MNC in the APN settings). To be on the safe side remove the APNs for the emulated provider or change the APN server to your local one, but with the MCC/MNC of the emulated provider.

In theory it may alert such application as WaveSecure and SIM Checker. But I have WaveSecure installed and it seems to live fine with the emulated SIM numeric. One user reported that SIM Checker also works fine.

If you feel paranoid, then just disable the GPRS/EDGE/3G using APNdroid or Toggle Data and buy/download the applications via WiFi. Once downloaded, restore your original SIM numeric and enable data transfer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] peadarog:
Thank you for your comprehensive answer!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ajejee:
SIM Checker dev here. I can confirm that there are no problems with MarketAccess, since the SIM numeric value is not used to determine if the SIM card has been changed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] D_Toma:
ok i get what it does but what special apps do you need this to get?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CrazyCoder:
You need MarketAccess to buy any application from Market in the countries where paid applications are not listed in the Market. Is that the answer you were looking for?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] D_Toma:
so being in the us there is really no need for it? or are there specific apps that can only be seen using this
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CrazyCoder:
Developers can choose where to distribute their applications. So we can guess that there are some apps limited to certain countries. I don't know of any specific examples.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] D_Toma:
thats more of what i was looking for was specifics

Hey,

Before anything, thx for the program, thx to ppl like you I can enjoy my phone even more.

Now, I had an issue with Market Enabler that completely broke the Google Chrome to Phone. After the first time I used, I couldn't make it work anymore, cause the whole APN thing... now, does your apk does the same thing? Any reports?

Thx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Igor 3:
Sorry for bringing this topic out of the dead. I have Market Enabler 3.1.1.2 that you can download from the market. Its good, but only problem is I cant see apps (paid apps, or top paid...), i must search apps by their name and only then can I see them (paid apps). Is Market Access better, i cant find it on the Market? And this version of Market Enabler 3.1.1.2 when was it released, are devolpers still updateing this app.?

hi there.

shortly-i have this phone with no orig. usb cable and with no wall charger. it was friend of mine phone actualy. given to me with dead battery (i am not sure but i have trouwn it away long time ago)

first I did was to wait until friends of mine from china had sent to me 2 batteries compitable with the phone. what i discovered is that a normal ordinar usb cable cant charge the phone's battery it only can connect to the pc.

second what i did is this: i found my old charger from a very old panasonic cell phone and had a try to make the charging process with the simply contacting corresponding pinouts of the battery to the +&- of this same charger (somehow i dissasembled the plug of that charger and it became more "comfortable" to get in touch to the pinouts of the specific cingular's battery)

that unordinar way i did discovered that i can charge these batteries even not sure how much appropriate that other brand wall charger is. It seems its pretty much the same as a power characteristics.

Meanwhile (as i dont use this phone) i had some free time to search the net and to have better idea about that strange unordinar power charging matter with that model of a phone. The situation is that i cant find a place nearby me to buy a cheap usb and wall charger and become using this nice device finaly.

And also i dont want to buy these cable things before clearly understand why this happens ..

I did try also to charge this phone with a HTC brand wall charger but no sucsess again cause it seems this wall charger is for other htc phone (even same mini usb plug and same characteristics)

What i need is to have answers by someone very informed about that matter and let me know what exactly is the specific power charging matter (need explanations i mean) with this phone. If sharing some good ideas about how to remake others usb cable or wall charger for geting it work along for me in such a case , i will appreciate this very much

thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dozzen:
charge

hi ! please forgive me for my bad english! in this case you can charge your phone in 1 way! you need to procure a motorola or any charger with same socket but attention the charger must have 6 volts and no less than 500 mAh(milli amps)! you cut the wires and one wire put on the + of the battery you will see the signs on the battery an one wire at the - no matter which one. and you need stay with the wires 3 - 4 minutes on the battery ! then you put the battery on the phone it will start and then you cand fully charge it with the usb cable ! good luckk ! i hope my inf will help you!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nikohs:
no

no it doesnt work that way.

what i need is the simple answer : what is so special into the pinouts of htc cingular 8125 wall charger?

thats what i need only. Then I might figure out how to proceed

Thanks anyway
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rhapdog:
I don't know if anyone else has had trouble doing what I have done, but I've got the Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard 100), which is also known as the HTC 8125.

1. I bought a car charger at a convenience store for $6 that had the mini-USB plug. It worked like a charm. Never any problem there.

2. I also bought a standard USB to mini-USB cable from the local computer store, because I had lost mine, and it also worked fine for both synchronization and for charging.

3. I bought a second wall charger, buying a standard mini-USB wall charger sold pretty much everywhere cellular phone chargers are sold. It's a common charging port, and this generic worked for me as well.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had problems with these types of devices not properly charging the unit.

Even my USB cable for my portable USB hard drive will power my unit.

EDIT: About your problem with it not charging. I had that problem about a year ago, when my battery got extremely old. It wouldn't charge even with the original charger. I just needed a new battery. The batteries get old and stop taking a charge after a certain amount of use. How long this takes depends on how heavily the batteries are used. They, like car batteries, do not last forever.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sirocyl:
I had this problem when I had my wiz too. The battery died and drained, and my phone refused to charge it. I took it to an AT&T service center, and they had no clue what the problem was, and they wanted to issue me a replacement (it was a G4, I had a G3, I wasn't about to fiddle with that at the time.) So I asked to borrow a demo device they had there to fix it. I charged my battery on their demo device no problem, got it up to 3%, and finished charging it through my USB cable in the car socket.

It appears to be a sort of one-in-every-few-or-so type condition, but I got hit with it.
