My phone is with all original apps, and nothing is added or removed. Crashing and hanging constantly. I'm now having my business-number ringing in the great k800i. Now i can be sure that i wont miss any calls...

I did not manage to bring my phone to the SE-service centre on friday, and upcoming week i wont have the possibility to do it either, so i have to wait one week before i can drop the phone for checkup..
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok.

Right now I'm extensively testing X2 when using ONLY

standard WM Homescreen.

No TileWave Panel in usage.

SPB and City & Growing Panels removed..

So far so good.

Will report back....
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
New solution??

I have now tested to turn off the advanced battery option where the phone switches off the screen after eg. 2 minutes, and put it to go into standby in 40 seconds. This has not crashed the phone at all during the last 2 hours!

I'll tell some more if the phone is still alive tomorrow morning!
[XPERIA X2 General] sx1-doc:
i got random freeze and slowness on my x1, my old asus p525 and a lot of WM pda,

AND 99% was the problem a corrupted sd card (so i change or formated the card) and all my problems were gone.

hope that will help
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well OK, these things happen too.

However there's a specific pattern when these freezes appear.

So it doesn't look like that really.

The amount of users experiencing IDENTICAL issues

is significant. I mean I didn't find a person

who using extensively X2 would not find all of the descibed problems.

So sorry, I don't think we all have memory card problems collectively :D
[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
Here's my theory, for what it's worth:

- Because SE had the X1 made by HTC, they were assisted 95% by HTC in creating WM software that worked

- For some crazy reason, they switched to a manufacturer that, to my knowledge, does not make WM phones. Now we have SE, a company that knows very little about WM, + Foxconn, a company that knows very little about WM. Not a good combo.

- Now SE is on it's own to make the software work. That is, there are 3 college grad Sony software engineers sitting in cubicles trying to translate a copy of "Visual Studio for Dummies" into Japanese. Good luck.

If SE had stuck with HTC, the X2 could have basically been the HD2 slide, and it would have been the best smartphone on the market. It's easy to second-guess, but their leadership does not look good.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
yes but if HTC had made the X2 then it would of fallen apart by now lol. im glad sony ditched them. anyway, sony wrote the software for the X1 not HTC.. so it wouldnt of made much difference if they had used HTC again. even with its bugs, the X2 is still far more stable than the X1 in most aspects, especially the phone side of things.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Excuse me but what are you talking about?

X2 is the only device I had which can freeze 10 times in 10 minutes.

X1 freezed maybe 10 times in total through 17 months.

And always BECAUSE of something.

I agree - it's better HTC did not manufacture this,

however on the software side: it would WORK!
[XPERIA X2 General] cristidotro:
I hope you guys receive your Custom roms soon. Maybe chefs will iron all the bad stuff from SE.

X2 seems to be a nice looking brick right now. I'll buy it after custom ROMs appear.

But guys, look at the good part, it doesn't have SOD issue :P.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
No no no.

Custom ROMs may be my choice or not, it's our personal thing.

************* SE has to do it right when I pay for

the ************* product.
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
I bet the problem with X2 is that S-E decided to make too many phones with different systems.

"Let's make Windows Mobile smartphones! And Symbian phones! And Android phones! And continue to make dumbphones*! Well... we also have to watch our costs, so let's not hire additional engineers and testers, let our great marketing make for out lousy software development!"

*Which work the most flawlessly.
[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
Yup, exactly right. Specialization is the key to quality nowadays.
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
I know this is not relevant to the post, but does anyone has facebook panel working on the X2 after MR1? also does anyone have a copy of the CNN Panel they could send me?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Nope. I don't have the CNN....

And I think - as was posted on SE Blogs - WM 6.5.2

has some changes inside which probably disable those Panels.

It's also ridiculous each time we get LESS Panels,

not more!

I remember the panels competition some time ago

but never saw the awarded ones available!
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
Yeah I remember that competition too, but wasn't that for the X1? Ah well, so much for the 16 Panels that were supposed to be available for the X2.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Exactly. Now we have like 10?
[XPERIA X2 General] alesmatusek:
I don´t understand why panels from X1 is incompatible with X2... (e.g. Skype panel doesn´t work). I thought that panels are new standard through all Xperia phones, some kind of unification solution... But SE think differnet.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ah well, I assume WM 6.1 and 6.5.2 makes difference.

But I may be wrong...
[XPERIA X2 General] sonus:
I would assume Skype has problems on the X2 because of the fact that the panel version of Skype was made specifically for the X1 so as to not output voice through the speakerphone as does the generic version of Skype for all WinMo phones.

Regarding disappearing panels... yea a lot of them have come and gone from SEs site, only to never be seen again. For example, I don't think the SlideShow panel is there anymore, and the SPB Mobile Shell version 2 panel is no longer there on SE USAs panel site if my memory serves me correctly.

Finally, regarding panel general panel incompatibility, the the X1 and X2 have different panel managers. SE in its infinite wisdom decided to fragment the Xperia line by offering different panel manager versions in all its winmo phones (X1, X2, and Aspen), and of course not offering any kind of official upgrade path to keep them all in line with each other.

Ohh well Sony, you're only pissing off your most loyal customers... Which happen to be all you've got in the smartphone sector, as I've never seen another person in the US with an Xperia phone, and I sincerely doubt I'd see a non-SE fan with one ever.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
@sonus

Quite true. I was always surprised how the panels disappear

as it was one of the big X1 and X2 features.

And they are still not compatibile with each other...

Very unclear strategy indeed.
[XPERIA X2 General] coloboxp:
:D

"X2 is like a Playboy bunnie, beautiful looking but you cannot expect any intelligent response from it, period!"

[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Something positive....

Well when I started relying only on WM Homescreen

I didn't encounter a single freeze.

When using X2 normally.

Today I wanted to switch from the stock 4GB to 16GB card.

Connected X2 to MobileDevices Center on my laptop.

Copied all the content from 4GB to my laptop.

Than disconnected my X2, took off 4GB

inserted 16GB, copied all the content from laptop to X2...

Than just resetted..

Well we will see further,

but everything went absolutely smooth.

All the media content was updated in SlideView.

But what was a shock:

I copied also all the Program Files of the programmes I installed on my 4GB

before.

Guess what?!

I didn't have to install again those apps!!!

So after JUST copying these files, all the programs work!

Just like that.

So that means after upgrade I won't have to install anything again,

everything will work immediately!

Including icons in menu..

I don't know if this is possible in other OSes.

This is so good - saves so much time and hassle.

After changing memory card in Camera files stopped beeing

displayed by date but first are pictures, than videos.

New pisctures are displayed on top...

P.S.

This device is more responsive on Portrait than Landscape...
[XPERIA X2 General] sonus:
Here are some of the "lost" panels that I found on this personal SE X1 fan page.

[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Heh, Mytopia or OnThe Road....

Like started and never finished projects....
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
I created a Facebook-group for those who are unhappy with their X2 and it's quality & performance. Please join: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110270035673269
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
Got mine on VodafoneUK this morning. Ordered online, picked up from local store as my postman has got sticky fingers.

Got home all excited, switched it on. There was an icon with a green circle and an arrow pointing down on a black screen. It then switched off, restarted with a white screen and just 'HTC' on it. It then restarted again, this time with 'HTC' and 'quietly brilliant' underneath. It then just restarts with that last screen over and over again.

Of course, Vodafone are now out of stock, I will then have to wait until they get more stock in, process it and send a new one out.

To say I'm a bit disappointed is an understatement.

As a last resort, any suggestions on what I can try? I've tried a hard reset already.
[Desire General] irkan:
have you tried charing the phone before turning it on??
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
that circle with the arrow was the initial rom loading.

do a hard reset

turn the phone off

hold the volume down button

press and release the power button while still holding volume down

when the white screen with the skating androids appears, let go of volume down.

As per the instructions on screen, use volume down to move the highlight to clear storage and press power to select it.

it will hard reset the phone and after a little while will reboot automatically.

it will take about 3-4 minutes to go through the full boot process, but it should hopefully help
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
Fully charged with a green light.

Done the hard reset, took about 5 seconds before it said it was ready to reboot then it does the same thing....

White screen with just HTC

about 10 seconds... resets

Makes a chime noise, white screen with HTC and 'quietly brilliant' this time

then resets.... over and over again

Oh well, another week with my Sony Ericsson K800i it is haha
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
So after looking at it switched off, I refused to give up.

I managed to create a GoldCard using an Ubuntu Live CD and Hex Editor. (Took a lot of effort to create one due to not having a working device)

I put that in my phone and flashed it with the latest Generic ROM.

Hey presto, my Desire is now working!

I couldn't be happier :D
[Desire General] cez10:
haha lol get on, i wanna install a generic rom but cant make myselft to try make the gold card lol

have you got a pink tint issue? check the sticky topics
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
Pleased to say there doesn't seem to be any hints of pink. Just greys and whites.

The hardest part of the Goldcard was getting the CID for the memory card. Once I had that, it was a breeze. With a working phone, I understand getting the CID is very easy...
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Well it looks like T-Mobile will be getting a call from me today for a return. For absolutely no reason my rear speaker decided it no longer wants to work. Which means no ringer. I will admit I'm normally rough on phones and I know to get insurance when I got this one I didn't. How ever since this is clearly a hardware failure over the phone being abused I should have no problem. Just makes it a pain. I guess I can use the Fuze for a few days or just have no ringer till the new one comes in.

Ugh now the job of returning it back to stock form,LOL:mad:
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
i got mine early from walmart and the speaker died the next day. luckily was able to go back and get their last one.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Well since I had gone through WireFly I had to go through them for a replacement. That made it a bit rough but with a bit of *****ing I was able to get a reasonable deal with getting the replacement shipped out. They wanted the phone to be shipped to them for inspection first and then ship a new phone all the while I would be without service. Or I could have one shipped one day air if I payed for the phone again plus a 250 shipping guaranty and they would give me the 250 back when they received the old phone and keep the 99. What?!?!?!?!? I'm not buying the phone twice! I quick talking to and I get them to do 99 shipping guaranty and recredit once the old phone is returned.
[HD2 General] parmakr:
i also had this problem this weekend. i had my phone for two weeks and the loud speaker just gave out for no reason. my phone performed like a charm thought i was one of the lucky ones with no lags or freezes ever! even after i installed quite a few apps. had to go to local tmobile store luckily they had them in stock but had to pay again for the phone while they reimbursed me for the first one. just takes about three days to see it back in my bank account. kinda sucks but im hoping this issue doesnt come back again. is this happening alot from other users?
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
My replacement hasn't had the same issue. KNOCK ON WOOD,lol.
[HD2 General] shanedd1123:
i had the same prob after i did the update...this might sound a lil crazy but all i had to do was push the reset button under the battery cover
[HD2 General] parmakr:
god wish i would of tried that before taking it back. i havent done the upgrade to rom 2.13 just yet kinda waiting it out. also, would that be considered a hard reset?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Pushing that tiny (red or yellow) button under the battery cover is just one of the ways to do a soft reset. Doing a hard reset would wipe the device completely and return it to the most recent "stock" state (last time a ROM was placed on the phone, stock or custom)....and that takes different steps than a soft-reset ;)
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Ya well that wasn't my issue. I did soft and hard resets. New ROM, old ROM, stock ROM. Nothing did the trick. Also when you smack the phone and you get sound then a second later it stops for good is a pretty good indication that it's hardware.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Mine went out all of the sudden too. It was out, then it worked again, then went out again. I took mine into T Mobile and my dude there checked it out and determined it, in fact, didn't work. They were out of stock so they ordered me one... Didn't have to pay a dime. Got it in 3 days. I had to live without a speaker for 3 days but it wasn't too bad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Father L:
Hi,

Does anyone know if the HTC Hero apps are available as install files?

One I would dearly love on a rom that I have tried is Footprints, but it has not been cooked with it.

Many thanks.

I think we should have a thread just to list everyone who has the phone.

Please Post your network and location (if you haven't already done that in your profile) and what phone you came from.

Please don't post anything else here (questions, answers comments or other stuff) and don't post until you actually have the phone.

If anyone is interested yesterday I ordered a Zagg Invisible shield for my Desire. £14.63 free delivery from here:

http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/AZJ37/-EV-HTC-Desire-Invisible-Shield&cat=627

Does show a pic of Nexus One but was assured by guy on the phone it's for the Desire. Will post how I get on fitting it late tomorrow :rolleyes:(if it arrives
[Desire Accessories] Matt2887:
I'd be quite interested to see how this works / how good it actually is when you get it.
[Desire Accessories] Snusmumriken:
I would also be very interested to see if it is indeed a Zapp for the Desire and how it fits. I always like to protect my devices from scratches.
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Funny that the ZAGG website doesnt have it... thought they are the manufacturer?
[Desire Accessories] hasanybodyseenjc:
Hey guys, i run Morpeth Mobiles and just wanted to let you know that i received my own Desire late this afternoon and have found that it is indeed different to the Nexus one protector. We do now have some Desire specific protectors on order to arrive next week but there will be a delay with any orders already placed. Just wanted to give you a heads up really. If anyone wants to cancel an order please either reply to your order e-mail or send me a message and i will reply directly.

My apologies and thanks for your understanding

Chris
[Desire Accessories] lewyharvey:
so the one you are sending me won't fit?
[Desire Accessories] boge:
I have asked ZAGG about this few days ago, and they gave me a link to fill in our device type to know whether there are enough demand for invisibleshield on HTC Desire.

Here is the link that they gave me http://www.zagg.com/hotgadgets/index.php.
[Desire Accessories] Snusmumriken:
Of course it is different from the Nexus One - It is a different phone!
[Desire Accessories] nerdo:
No invisibleSHIELD for Desire....yet

Like boge said above ZAGG haven't made a screen protector for HTC Desire yet.

The following is the email I got from ZAGG in response to my query re the same:

I would recommend clearprotector as they use same material with same lifetime

warranty but for less $$ ( I used both)

Their screen protector will be available within 2 weeks ;)
[Desire Accessories] hasanybodyseenjc:
We arent sending any protectors out until we have the actual desire ones in stock. Everyone who has purchased one already will receive an update e-mail on Monday and we will add a pre order notice to the site with expected delivery date. We have already received notification that the desire specific protector is in production and the turnaround from Zagg is usually very quick.

Thanks

Chris
[Desire Accessories] lewyharvey:
You have sent me one, it's right in front of me now! Will be sending it back Monday for a refund. Will include note with explanation
[Desire Accessories] james00000007:
Dunno if this has already been posted? Looks like its out for order....

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-desire-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Ordered mine :-). Enter the comp for the ipad on the home page and you'll prob get discount code. I got 30% off
[Desire Accessories] unclesomebody:
Thanks for the tip. I got a 40% off code. Now trying to decide between ordering the full body or the maximum coverage option. They are the same price so surely going maximum coverage is more sensible? Are the front and back pieces the same in both kits?
[Desire Accessories] james00000007:
Click on the different options and its shows you the outline of the shields. I went for the max, as i worrry about the sides of the phone which i didnt think full body covers fully....
[Desire Accessories] Matt2887:
I too got the 40% off and will probably go with the maximum coverage based on the fact its the same price as full body.
[Desire Accessories] Odin1979:
Cheers for the tip on the competition, i got a 50% off code! :D

Just deciding on which one to get now.
[Desire Accessories] philjohnson77:
I too another 40% discount code So many thanks for the tip james00000007 . Ive ordered 2 one for the misses also . Went for the full body in the end as it would appear max coverage may be a little tricky and I dont really need it all just want the screen really . Anyway £23 for both delivered 1st class:)
[Desire Accessories] cvdbout:
Where did you all get the codes?

I'm thinking of buying one of these, what is it made of? I quite like the fact it's not slippery in my hands just now
[Desire Accessories] philjohnson77:
as james00000007 said in an earlier post log onto Zaggs main website you will find an icon in the bottom right corner to win an Ipad all you need to do is click on it register your email address and they send you a discount code. All the info on the material is on their site .Hope that helps
[Desire Accessories] cvdbout:
oh, never saw that, whoops.

i guess a more accurate question would be how does it feel? grippy, smooth etc? does it make your phone shiny all over or it is matt in parts?
[Desire Accessories] lambrospower:
i just oredered mine too. i am wondering if the touch quality will be the same
[Desire Accessories] sh500:
It seems a bit fiddly to me, the most I've ever done is to put on a normal screen protector. I have seen a few people with the full/max coverage on their iPhone and after a few months it you can really start seeing the 'join' lines etc.

Would be good to see pictures of this put on the Desire ;)
[Desire Accessories] Odin1979:
Hmm.. i think i might hold off on buying the Zagg ones. There's some unfavourable reviews on Youtube and a couple here of the Nexus shield - http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...One-Full-Body-SHIELD/Product.html?source=9593
[Desire Accessories] Jasand:
Has anyone had a delivery yet? I just got 50% off zagg so works out to about £10 for the shield but dont want to go ahead if the shield is naff.

Any reviews?
[Desire Accessories] :
I used a Zagg on my previous phone a Nokia 5800 and it was excellent, yes a bit fiddly to put on but I never had problems with corner lifting and the 'feel' when using the touch screen was actually better than the bare glass. In fact the only problem I had was that once applied it was just a tad too bulky for the crystal case I had but after 6 months of using just the Zagg the phone was still pristine.

I would also like to see some pictures of one on a Desire before I order just to see the coverage at the corners and how many pieces it comes in, there are alternatives such as Ghost Armour or CaseMate Clear Armour but again none of these are available to purchase... yet.
[Desire Accessories] ragmanchu:
I placed an order last night, I will update you lot once it arrives, i will also try to post some pics

All shields are a faff to fit so if your worried about fitting a shield cover then i guess you can get a case and your problem is solved lol
[Desire Accessories] Jasand:
I am going to choose a different case but i do have a 50% off code for zagg.com if anyone wants it please pm me. First come first serve

Sorry voucher already gone.
