[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
Yea, Samsung has nice camera sensors, the super amoled is just crazy and from what i hear their CPU is better than the snapdragon but i just don't like the idea of not having at least a led for the camera.

Also, i'm in doubt about last Samsung phones which are considered failures by some people.

I wish i could find more pictures taken with X10.

Thanks for the link, I've been using that keyboard (and can verify it's made of awesome) and the X10 skinned one just looks miles better :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afhstingray:
well the alternative is to stick with the going to be extinct WM6.5 or wait till WP7 comes out a the end of the year.

looks like MS is chasing the iPhone market, you might find WP7 too "basic" and consumer oriented for you, android is almost like a spiritual successor to WM. Same flexibility

this is a good thread about how to get push hotmail, also i did a quick google search and found some push email applications for android that support hotmail

I know I have posted this in the Q&A section, but I am making an assumption that there are many people who only look at the Development forums, so I wanted to post here too.. Hope no one minds.

Does anyone know if it is possible to make the font in Google Maps larger to make it easier to use as a satnav ?????

Thanks all

[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok guys, let's be fair.

I have X1 for 17 months and this device is a really great companion.

Reliable, working, stable, powerful, all fine.

Now it's few days after X2 upgrade and I'm sorry, but right now this is a disaster.

Whether I don't get something or this device is a biggest shame I've seen in my life.

Basically this is unpredictable, unstable, unfinished and not proper

piece of ************* crap I've used.

Current behaviour of X2 is like a first firmwares I've seen on P990,

few years back.

After upgrade I've had like 6 freezes through 48 hours - WTF is that?!

Freezing without any reason - just with normal, ordinary actions I do!

The software is completely not optimized at all, looks like a ****ing BETA!!!

I just can't believe it. Just can't believe

they really released this piece of crap.

Unbelievable. This is constantly crashing device.

Once SlideView crashed. Once camera stopped working - soft reset.

Now it crashed after playing a movie from the Total Commander.

It's even more **** - today I opened default WM image gallery and

used it's basic edit functions - used automatic contrast.

Wanted to save and what! Bum - the device cannot save it! Maybe after cropping it,

the device says.... Like a lack of memory!

I mean - I know what software is, always has it's glitches, right.

But what is happening to X2 is like really really bad joke!!!!!!!

Guys, do you think that the problem may be in a wrong upgrade?!

I don't believe it.

So, in fact the 600 Euro piece behaves like a beta stage.

Definitely, the X2 goes back to SE, I want my money back.

You won't **** with me anymore.

Unacceptable. Too much.

I was a fan of SE smartphones (used P800, P910, P990, P1, X1)

All of them served well.

This X2 not. Over. Never gonna buy any SE in my life.

And I think they'll never learn. Never.

In the competitive and tight smartphone market, they are rude enough

to release something like that. And stupid.

Of course I'll not leave it this way. I'll spread the info around.

P.S.

As regarding X1 people experiences were very different,

but generally feedback was good and deserved.

X2 has huge negative feedback right now and I'm not alone.

Besides xda forums, just look at

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produc...able/#comments

What is there is amazing. 90% of negative comments after upgrade.

This device didn't bahave like this before!!!

What about you guys?
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
I'm absolutely agree with you.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 is a nice piece of Hardware, but is a complete mess in terms of Software.

Maybe calling Tech Blogs to post this news would help SE to fix the phone.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
What Tech Blogs??
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Installed YouTube panel,

wanted to choose it than - phone restarted.

Plugged charger - phone didn't react until I entered battery settings...

haha, starts to be fascinating!
[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
It's really terrible for you guys. It is very arrogant of SE to do this. They don't have their act together, and they need to pay the price. I like the suggestion above. You might somehow try to get this whole debacle picked up by the gadget sites like Engadget, though I don't know how. I know their editors browse these forums. They might run it on a slow news day (remember they ran the X1 "cracks" story, and they run firmware stories all the time).

It's a frustrating time for WM fans, because there are very few cutting edge choices for us these days.
[XPERIA X2 General] coloboxp:
I dont know whats the cause but when i left the phone alone for a while and then i try to turn on the screen, it stays black, if i slide the keyboard the keys get illuminated but the screen is still off.. so i have to reset for 15th time…

Also i get a lot of troubles with the memory card, sometimes it works and the phone detects it but sometimes it takes several resets and ejects/inserts of the card to make it work…

Whats going on!?!?!?!?!?:mad:
[XPERIA X2 General] Low_Down:
I feel exactly the same. it's the worst phone i ever had.

i will not buy any more **** from SE. The X1 was a really nice device but this???

No more. and i am sure that SE is in here on XDA and reading to get some feedback and to you i have just one question:

how can you sleep at nights?

Low_down
[XPERIA X2 General] pashax1:
SE totally lost its way with smartphones after P910 PERIOD!!. Each new device after P910 was worse than its predecessor. When i thought P990 was unstable and slow (skipping P1i that was too little too late and with its own downgrades), along came X1 which i found out to be even worse than P990. I dont know what the reviewers were smoking when they tested X1 out starting from bad build quality & durability (cracks in casing, keyboard issues etc), hardware (useless camera, speakerphone and illumination gimmik) and right down to software (Windows Mobile, worst call audio i've encountered in any mobile phone i've used so far, video playback and the list goes on)!!

Its quite clear to me that at SE there's no such word as "improvement" and "lesson learnt" anymore. Instead of rectifying their issues with a jewel of a platform like UIQ (which would have been much cheaper and more productive for both SE and Symbian) they choose to sleep around with every other slut of a operating system they can find out on the street. SE is nothing but a lost cow now. :mad:
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Heh funny

but I feel bad because of different reasons!!!

After P990 which became usable after half a year

P1 was a pleasurable experience.

And than came X1 which is the best of all of them

working beautifully for the last 17 months on stock ROM!

So encouraged by that I bought X2.

And received a massive slap in the face,

I mean this time collectively almost all of the X2 users

agree - this is beyond acceptance.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
i thought sony hit their peak with the P1i. near perfect phone in my opinion. i had it over a year and sold it to a friend and hes had it ever since. still going strong and faultless. a joy to use... only took them 6 generations of P phones to do it but then they ditched the series and started again with the X phones.

as to the X2, i firmly lay the blame with microsoft not sony... the hardware was designed by sony this time and is top notch. but all the problems stem from the WM interface. sony try their hardest to hide the limitations of the operating system but it still shows through. i do like WM and the variety of customisation available, but that strength is also its weakness. same as with windows on a pc. because it can be customised so much its impossible to avoid conflicts and bugs. no two X2s are the same. we've all got a different selection of software on our phones with different options and settings. its near impossible to test for all combinations. they fix one bug and another is introduced somewhere else as a result. i dont think its any coincedence that for the X10 and other proposed X phones theyre not using WM anymore....

a new bug that ive spotted thats really annoying:- my phone now randomly turns off! either that or it crashes to a black screen. i have to remove the battery to be able to restart it. done it 4 or 5 times now...

i do like the X2, when it works its brilliant but when it fails it fails immensly. my only hopes are the the next update fixes the **** ups of this update...or someone figures out how to make custom roms and fixes the problems..
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
I agree. I am designer. I will design a beautiful poster for This Xperia-X2 best stupid phone and publish it on my Facebook address.

I can't stand anymore to this phone. Now I am afraid if I have miscalled or sms. The phone freeze. Damn. Soo... what is X2 for? a telecommunication or decoration?

I remember X1, first release and got bugs too. but we can use tips and trick to custom it. just 1 thing in X1 that I don't like. The volume is too soft. But X2? Huh! what can we do to this stupid phone???
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Of course, when it works it's a marvellous piece.

It freezes or refuses to perform basic actions every one or two hours.

I have only 3 or 4 apps installed...

I disagree on the system - I fully blame SE for this incompetent

rude behaviour.

How many other devices on market work on WM 6.5?

Many!!!

If the OS is ****ed - you don't release an update to the customer until it works, as simple as that!

We don't talk about some bugs.

We talk about a basic inability to WORK.

-------

Now it's all clear.

They were ****ed and late with the device from the beginning.

The first version did not operate some hardware planned features - radio, videocall.

Why? They were late, incompetent and poor.

Now, the new release, BESIDES those huge problems

REMOVES some present before functionality like autorotating.

Why? Because they cannot deal with this.

Because they're incompetent.

They remove the games.

Why?

Because:

1. They use motion sensor so now you cannot play them.

2. They implemented too little memory in the device (idiots!!!)

to leave the games WITH added videocall and radio.

There's 3% possibility that I'm wrong

but my theory is:

X2 will never be OK.

It's probably ****ed exactly the same way P990 was.

I can't believe I was such an idiot and believed in anything

they do.
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
I agree with doministry
[XPERIA X2 General] coloboxp:
They maybe got confused and packed a pre pre pre beta as the final release.. :D hahaha

seriously, I want my +$500 phone working SE :mad:
[XPERIA X2 General] spikegotti:
lol its funny to see the blog is down too with the complaints doministry posted lol
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Yes mam! :D

I've never felt so pissed.

I was waiting patiently for 2 weeks or more for an upgrade

not posting any negative comment.

But what happens now is beyond me.

I also wrote to WmPoweruser and Engadget mobile about this.
[XPERIA X2 General] spikegotti:
lol now i dont feel so bad of waiting on the hd2 to drop its price or buy the htc evo this summer :D

the p1i was more than perfect even the body build is still the best... the P1i IMO was the best smartphone SE ever made
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well personally I'm even more happy with X1

really.

P1 was a masterpiece though.
[XPERIA X2 General] nguyennghiep:
SE,Xperia X2

I has use HTC TynT.ll Kaiser

SE.Xperia.X1

and SE.Xperia X2

I feel exactly the same.X2. it's the worst phone i ever had.

i will not buy any more **** from SE. The X1 was a really nice device but this???

- Weaking Signal than HTC

-X2 also can't Download any city Maps from TomTom Navigate ,even 1 free city ( X1 can ,and working with TomTom Navigate )

- X2,camera with 8 Mega Pix sound good but Blury,no good picture.

- Not good technical Suport .just seat and waiting some one find and fix trouble for them , this is bad.

I say. I will never ever buy SE phone again

This make me remember when Sony CO come out Beta Video Tape,all it bad.
[XPERIA X2 General] harveydent:
Wow. For a while I thought that doministry's account got hacked since he was the #1 person who'd argue with people who had anything negative to say against the x2 (even x2 users)

If that's not case, glad to see you're man enough to admit you're wrong, mate.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Hah :D

Harvey, when facts are abosolutely CLEAR

and yuo cannot help it in any way,

you have to admit what the truth is...

The worst part is that

before the upgarde the device was working..
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
OK. After I installed HSPL and mistakenly installed the 1.43 ROM i thought it was just OK. So I let it go until it reach 100%, after that the phone just went completely off. It won't start, it won't charge and it won't turn on. I try to do a hard reset but same thing nothing works. So right now its completely no working. Do you its still fixable?
[HD2 General] project92si:
nope... you'll have to wait and see if one of the brilliant devs come up with a work around. till then you have a very nice paper weight. If you got it from t-mobile you might still be able to warranty it but you run the risk of them finding out that it has the HSPL on it.
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
Yes I got it from Tmobile. I just got it yesterday and I went back to the store and they're going to give me a direct replacement. I'm just trying if it might still be revive. I know it can be done but i think its difficult.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if it was just a bad/wrong rom you would be able to boot to bootloader and flash a different rom.

problem is that the official roms also include a radio, and it is the radio from the 1.43 that has bricked your phone, not the rom.

no one has yet managed to start their phone from this kind of brick.
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
I know..hopefully one of this days one of the developers will be able to crack it and find a cure for it.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
There is no cure I can think over other then pulling the actual radio chip and putting in a new one. I would think it would be like killing a BIOS chip on your computers mother board.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no replacement? it's still under warranty....
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I agree. I don't think that there will ever be a cure for this kind of flash.

Question, though... I know HTC has some ways they can directly patch into a phone's hardware. Would it be possible for them to see the data on the ROM section?

I ask, because this would probably be the only way they could detect a Hard SPL or cooked ROM, I think...
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
They're going to replace it but the store that I bought was out of stock when I went there. They said in 5 days they receive their new HD2 and they will call me.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
I think he is just talking in general.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
sometimes a rookie mistake can ruin your life..or your phone just next time you flashed it read the whole post atleast 3 times and if you dont understand something read it again or google it so know what it means thats what I do all the time. flashing a rom takes time you cant really rush it and it happens to alot of us.
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
I really understand whats the do's and don'ts of flashing a ROM. I read it very carefully. It was just I'm so excited with it and didn't even read what I am clicking in my computer. I just hit NEXT..NEXT..NEXT. But what I am going to do the damage is done and there is no point of blaming my carelessness. As what most people say "learn from your mistake".:)

Go into the browser

Type about:debug (I am not 100% sure this is necessary)

Go to Settings

UAString

Change to iPhone

Load bbciplayer website

Try playing something.

I can't get it to work because it says streaming is only available to Vodafone and 3 customers and I need to switch to wifi (which I don't have).

Theoretically it should work and may be better than beebplayer.

May not have tried to use the feature that causing you an issue. What is it and I'll give it a try.
[Desire General] chiefmcbeef:
Unable to even get about:debug or even about:config to load anything other than a white page :confused:

This was over wifi
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
About:Debug doesn't load anything, it just enables extra options in the menus and settings.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
You can but it would be nice to see if this way actually works and produces a better picture.
[Desire General] cvdbout:
i tried this over wifi and nothing happened, no error, just didn't do anything
[Desire General] RXP:
You can't play the iplayer's mp4 streams from BBC iplayer on the Desire. The video plays fine but there is no audio. yxplayer plays them but without acceleration so it's not very good quality.
[Desire General] PianoSam:
I downloaded beebplayer on the 10th watched a show on website then triedagain last night. it seems to have gone bang for the desire.

Have installed it.

I think that the content of the market is very immature at the moment

hey all

pls be gentle im not very familiar with this amazing htc hd2 ..

before posting this thread i was searhing for answers in the forum but didnt find any...

i installed some games and apps , but some icons are in the start menu and i would like to move them into the games folder , and inside the games folder to create a subfolder .

how do i do these things ????

tnks !!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matmaneyre:
The easiest way is to move them manually as they are only shortcuts (.lnk files) anyway.

I use Total Commander. Navigate to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\", press the "ctrl" button at the bottom of the screen (allows you to select multiple files). Once you have selected them, click "File>>Copy\Move", then click "Tree", navigate to the destination folder (in your case, "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games") click "OK" and then "Move"

Job done. You can also do the same with File Explorer using the same method in theory, although its cut and paste instead and I believe since kinetic scrolling was introduced in WM, its impossible to select multiple files. I may be wrong though...haven't used it for years! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] shokouhi:
Use resco explorer then go into windows, start menu, programs, there you will see all the app ext. then cut it and open the game folder and paste it in there. You can do one at a time or more than one at a time.

Their RMA is actually a nightmare, they can loose a device for months, and return it "repaired" what actually means: dirty and parts still loose..

But nevertheless, good luck, hopefully the device will find it's way back to you.
