[HD2 General] Ouzo:
Just in case some people are reading this and are a bit confused (as I would have been if I were using a stock European ROM still ; ) I think HTC simply changed the way their camera app works. For example, in the current official WWE HTC sim free ROM (1.66) for European handsets, there are three flash modes available; off, auto and always on. With the latter it is literally always on meaning you can see what you're about to shoot in a dark room. The flash will still fire in auto mode in a dark room of course, but the resulting photo is inferior to the one where everything was partially illuminated first. In more recent editions of the camera app, the 'on' setting works more like the forced flash mode on a proper camera. For the reasons people have already pointed out, I think this is a backward step. I wish ROM cooks could be persuaded to use an earlier version (if compatible of course).

Hey guys,

hope you can help me out by sharing your experience with me. I'm currently trying to find a good device holder for my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. I'm planning to use it on my bike for sport cycling trips.

Do you have a list of recommendations for a good device holder? Which products do you use?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferlanero:
I'm interested on this thread too. How can I get the Xperia on my bike?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmiguel:
OtterBox 1900

I've made a test, in Portuguese, with a few more images, at PocketPT.net forum.

Hope it's allright to post the link, as it is in PT, and certainly not a contender to xda. :D

If not, Mods are wellcome to remove it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
Nice report, vmiguel: just how energetic can you get with your mountain biking and your Xperia on the handlebars? Is the xperia made to absorb such vibratin? ;)

And does the protection create visibility problems with the reflection of the sun?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmiguel:
Well... it's all in the test, really... but not everybody reads Portuguese, eh? :P

OtterBox has a proper bike suport to attach this case, but I do not have it. Instead, I use the original hand/arm neoprene band around the handle bar. It stays there *almost* all the time. Only in really bad terrain it tends to rotate downwards. But never falled out of the bike.

Regarding vibrations, the case isolates the pda from them. The pda sits between a neoprene band that forces it to the rubber screen. The pda does not touch any hard part. So, no problem there.

The rubber screen works well, but surely creates a visual barrier, but nothing major. Can not eat the cake and keep it also, right? For touch operations, it's pretty good.

Maybe you can try google translation on the test, it will not be 100% right, but maybe enough. ;)

Anyway, I'll try to answer here any specific questions about it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrene:
Thanks for your help, will take a closer looks at Otterbox. It looks really heavy.. how much is the weight approximately?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmiguel:
0,32 kg :D

the bicycle mount i use for my experia
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabian1112:
if you need something advanced this one is good too, tested it, xperia fits into it the case is waterresistant its from ortlieb if you need one you can contact me we own a bicycle store and sell both models i prefer the first one cause i never go biking when it rains and i'm able to use the touchscreen while this is not possible with the ortlieb case
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathmo:
I can back up how AWESOME the OtterBox has been for me, I've had a couple for my work when I was a bike courier.

As a bike courier I would go through hell and back, several times a day! Never ever ever had water troubles, or even shock damage! And I've been run over by cars, trucks, buses more often than I've had hot meals! No problem, get up and brush myself off and it is still working fine! Not even a crack in the case.

The case is very lightweight, adds nothing really to the weight... just bulk. I'd strongly recommend not getting the one linked to earlier.

Get the smallest you can, I've used this:

otterbox.com/pda-cases/1600-series/1600-gps-cases/ (can't post links as a new member, but you know what to do.... ctrl-c ctrl-l ctrl-v enter)

(although I was using a PDA about double the size of the Xperia X1, and I still had heaps of space. Good for keeping the spare battery then packing in the rest of the space with sponge cushioning to keep it safe from crashes)

I'd wear it on a medium length single loop over my shoulder and across my chest, then clip the case to it. Would just hang there out of the way until I decide to flick it up with my hand to look at it.
[HD2 General] jimbojack_uk:
Hi, and thanks for any help in advance.

I've searched long and hard for the solution to this problem and I can't even find reference to it. I have however tried several stock/custom ROMs and they all have the same feature.

When I set ActiveSync to sync my google calendar using exchange, WiFi is permanently turned on in standby, this is the case with all sync options except manual. This is killing my battery pretty fast.

Ideally i would like to continue using ActiveSync and revert WiFi back to it's on demand state to save battery.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah. Freaking ****. Divx/Xvid support is really whats still missing here. Where is the promised Divx support from HTC? It was just a rumour I guess. I dont care about 720p recording or encoding. But having native divx/xvid would rule for me. TV shows on the phone without the need to transcode.

Actually it does really take less then 5 minutes to transcode one. But that's still time and sometime you don't even have that.
[Desire General] mijanous:
Guess it would be in that update from HTC, or ?

what are u using to convert at that speed?
[Desire General] craigcrawford1988:
An NVIDIA or ATI GPU can hardware encode a whole movie in pretty much under 10 minutes.

My i7 with hyperthreading on and overclocked to 3.5GHz can utilize all 8 threads and have a DivX movie converted to MPEG2 ready to play on a DVD in less than 15 minutes. Heck, I've even converted a 3 hour blu-ray movie to H.264 at full resolution on my i7 and it only took 4-5 hours.
[Desire General] kazgor:
you know that gives me even more reason why my still running but rather limp PC needs a full upgade.. i've been thinking of the I7 for a little while.

Shame about no native divx support.. its the one major thing i miss from my Omnia HD, lucky i still have it for my hols.. can't see an update coming to the desire :(

So has anyone got any dates for 2.2 release, even for the N1? I'm sure once it's up and running on a N1, it sureley won't take the fine hackers on the forums to figure out a way to install it on our Desire.

Thing that I still dont understand is the "Move to SD card" feature for installed application.

Does it mean that it will work just like "backup" ? After moved, you cannot run it.

Or, after moved to SD card, we can run the application straight away from SD card ?
[Desire General] rolfd:
Once it's moved you can still use it as normal.

No, it's not like a backup, you wll be able to run the app. They showed it during the keynote

Now we should all write to HTC when they will provide update.

If HTC Evo will have Android 2.2, then I think we should get update at that time. Also Flash 10.1 is available only for Android 2.2 and since it was officialy announced that Desire will get Flash 10.1 , I think we will get it with Android 2.2 :)
[Desire General] Phil750123:

[Desire General] EroThraX:
No one has said it will have 2.2 but Google said they were giving every Google I/O attendee a free Evo. Hopefully they are doing this to get 2.2 out there so people can see it, meaning that HTC could possibly have working 2.2 builds ready.
[Desire General] wihandw:
Okay seems like i could've been mistaking about the Evo google is handing out that has Froyo,i though why would they hand out phones for developers to start using Froyo but the device doesn't have Froyo loaded???...WEIRD.

It's not even been released by google to any of the non sense non customised phones running Stock Android and you want it on the Desire now?

It's just been dropped into the AOSP meaning that people can start working on it and developing for it, it'll be a while before we actually see it commercially released.
[Desire General] speedking34:
It's obvious that I'm not asking for Froyo tonight, this very second. The only goal of this message is to try and get through to HTC and get a reaction from them. I DO NOT want another Htc Hero fiasco, so I will try and do the little I can do makes things go faster. Plus, the fact that google just released the source doesn't mean HTC can't release an upgrade soon, they could if they wanted to. Moreover, being very close to google and its dev team, I suspect HTC to have had the froyo sources for a while.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] johamot:
OK so here's what I want to do.

I'm currently my Hero as a kar kit by plugging it in via my cars aux input. I also permanently use my phone to play my favorite tunes via the aux input. So when I get a call the music pauses and continues when I'm done talking.

I'm now interested in buying a bluetooth speakerphone as the hero does not have echo cancellation and audio calls echo's back horribly in my car.

Will I be able to pair the bluetooth speakerphone/headset and have music playing via the 3.5mm jack at the same time? Will calls be handled via the Bluetooth device or the audio jack?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cauli:
Maybe you could ask a Mod to move this to General -> Q&As? It isn't Hero specific & you could get a bigger audience. You should mention what version of Android you'll be running though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] johamot:
Ah ok, thanks for the tip.

I went ahead and bought the Bluetooth speaker without knowing the outcome. When the phone is plugged into the 3.5mm jack a headphone icon is displayed. When the bluetooth device is connected, a different bluetooth paired icon is displayed.

So what happens is exactly what I wanted - When listening to music via the 3.5mm the audio is played via the car stereo. When a call comes in the music gets paused and the audio get routed the bluetooth speaker.

Inexpensive and simple car-kit solution. ;)
