i am switching. not to the hd though:)

i am switching to the iPhone 4 white, as soon as it will be available
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
I bought the phone, not because of the OS, so it still X10 for me...
[XPERIA X10 General] zyexx:
I must say it looks pretty sweet, I would only think of it if it had a 850 3G band or even a quad band 3G. Specs look really nice
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
Well in my opinion, since I have been using many phones.. Esp htc phones, I have been accustomed to the general openness and customizability.

this is my first SE phone to be true and since it is locked down to the core, I think I have gotten bored because its now just a smart phone.. No experimentation is possible on this phone..

Thus out of getting bored im for sure jumping to the desire hd..

Otherwise than this reason, I love the x10..

Performance wise also the x10 is great...
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
In the same boat as you, brother. It's rough being a Canadian!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Megahertz don't mean anything. They stopped meaning something years ago. Just like megapixels don't mean anything anymore. They're just numbers. (Like 1.6 and 2.1 ;) )

Would you rather have a 3.2 ghz Pentium 4 or a 2.2 ghz Core i5?
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
I would rather have a 1.6ghz Core i7! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] maverick2345:
I just (april) bought an X 10; two weeks ago bought an Leupold Mark4 riflescope and a Heckler&koch SL7 in .308 win. And now I ordered the Desire HD. So were is the problem. The only thing is you have to have a good explanation for your wife why you need all this things. That's all. Come on let's get creative. I was..... :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
I will switch when a new generation of hardware becomes available. The differences between the X10 and the Desire HD are not big enough to me. Windows Phone 7 looks very interesting too, to be honest. Maybe my next phone will be one of those :-x
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
Same reason you spend your money on lifting your Jeep...Different strokes for different folks

Although I think it would be kinda annoying and stressful upgrading your phone every couple months to stay on top...
[XPERIA X10 General] bmw-boy:
Totaly agreed with you

I have the same issue
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
Seriously until phones with dual core snapdragons and 4g networks are common place, there is no reason to 'upgrade'. Until next generation hardware is available, any performance upgrade is marginal at best.
[XPERIA X10 General] soldiers33:
you sold your x10 for a nokia? You really are crazy. The symbian os is so crap, I rather have an outdated android os, and 2.1 is coming next week too.
[XPERIA X10 General] POLO_i780:
I just love my X10 :D its beautiful, great to hold, fast, huge quality display, great audio quality, excellent camera, the OS despite being old is great, im getting great battery life, its unique, its powerful etc...i just cant get enough of it, its going to be my 3rd month with it now and with the upcoming update adding great features including some 2.2 Froyo features im just so happy with it so NO, i wont get the Desire HD, it doesnt have much over the X10, im only going to leave my X10 when Cortex A9 dual core Androids are released.

My upgrade will have:

- A9 Cortex at 1GHz

-ATLEAST a 1500mAh battery

-atleast a 4inch display with ATLEAST 854x480 res

-HD1080p video encode/decode

-HDMI

-ATLEAST a better 8MP camera than the X10

-Beautiful design

-and great audio quality. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Yup, except for the beer the country sucks ;)

Not to go OT too much but another phone I have my eye on is the Dell Thunder. I figure that they'll have an 850 model for AT&T at very least and 1700 for all of the new carriers in NA. Would be great to see an 850/1900/1700/2100 model.
[XPERIA X10 General] zyexx:
Now that I think about it am not too fond of sense UI...but I guess there are always workarounds
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You know, at this point, it probably doesn't make sense to buy a new phone until LTE rollouts are started in your country....

Like me! I'm not going to bother with a new phone until Docomo finishes it's LTE rollout next year. Why bother buying a new 3G phone when I can have 4G?
[XPERIA X10 General] csoonp:
I really really wanted to change my phone to htc desire hd, but don't have the money.. darn..
[XPERIA X10 General] C3LL0PHANE:
I cannot wait to get another phone besides this X10.. I am just waiting for the update to see how much better Sony can actually make it.

As much as the love the perfect size, the fact that it is Sony and all other things... it's straight up a POS phone.

I love Android and everything but being with Rogers I don't have much of a selection of phones right now so I may have to end up getting the iPhone 4... but at least that phone doesn't freeze when texting like this POS x10. But my x10 is so pretty.. I just don't know what to do :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
Same is the case with me. As much as I hate SE snail pace in bringing up to date with their OS version and some features like 16M colors, multi-touch, I can't for life of me find a better looking phone than what SE has. Sometimes, I just feel like opening my brand new still sealed W995a which I bought as my collectible SE treasure.

HTC's are mostly as ugly as Dell hardware. Samsung's, they don't have their own identity. Just copy-cats and I hate how ugly their brand name looks on the phone. I'd rather see a carrier name on the phone than SAMSUNG.
[XPERIA X10 General] aqeelhaider:
Well i have used so many phones by HTC, and recently purchased X10 after using TP2. I must say that X10 has good hardware but poor software support by SE. But i have no plans to go for Desire HD as there is marginal HW difference. I will wait for a better HW and next Android version before i ditch my X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] brunswick000:
My buddy has a legend and the seamlees aluminum body is pretty slick, so imo the desire hd is a pretty sweet looking phone. Id love to jump ship it for cause not only is HTC better with updates, but you can be sure the team at Cyanogen will be supporting this device. Unfortunately im with Rogers and its pretty unlikely we're gonna see this phone any time soon...... or ever. Annnd, paying $800-$1000 on one outright is just redonkulous.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
I will not change to Desire HD has it looks so much like Leo/HD2, I dislike the fact that the shape is the same and with the same protruding camera which my previous HD2 suffers a lot of scratches on the chrome area surrounding the camera when you put it on the table.

It is pathetic for a phone which is bigger in terms of phone and screen size to be using same battery as HD2, lithium Ion battery with a capacity of only 1230mah though they are using the new 1Ghz processor which is supposed to consume less power but HTC phones always have bad battery lifespan.

After using a few HTC phones, I have notice that HTC has very bad voice quality over Bluetooth with car head unit compared to SonyEricsson.

Though our X10 is smaller in phone size and it is already using lithium polymer battery with 1500mah and it can last longer than all my HTC phones even when the battery reaches the last few percentages, it will never drop as fast as HTC batteries.

Guess that is the difference in the technology as Bluetooth and lithium polymer technology comes from SonyEricsson.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamtheater39:
was an interesting read....and i feel i've been through the same cycle! one very distinct feeling is why the device doesnt behave the way its defined on paper. with all the specs, the galaxy s should literally be flying, but somehow isnt the case.....its most probably the file system, or who knows could be lack of optimization from samsung's side on the drivers or adaptation.

Froyo update comes with a load of expectations and i must say im not as excited as i hoped to be with the leaked builds. they seem very mediocre in terms of what was expected. seems more like a features update build rather than a build aimed at really "stepping up the game" by bringing in some real optimizations and performance enhancements.

anyway, only time will tell ;) and i hope samsung will do a good job in keeping this huge fanbase that they've created happy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johcos:
I have the same feeling with you my friend only a little bit worse.

I'm almost disappointed from my decision in buying this phone. My previous phones were HTC diamond and HTC HD2 which I still have and apart from the screen which is obviously better in galaxy s, android and the processor everything else is worse compared with HD2 and if you see here the first video for desire HD I believe you will also have the same feeling.

The software that comes with galaxy S is very poor and even useless (worse than OEM). I have the phone for a month now and I have deleted nearly everything that samsung has to offer and still haven't decided what widgets to put in my screen. Wouldn't have this problem with HTC sense.

Another thing that I'm very disappointed and I don't see anyone talking about it is the crappy camera which although the video is very good, when you try to take a picture (in good light conditions) and zoom a little bit on that picture you'll see that picture quality is very low and you could only compare it to a 2MP picture. (Its the worse camera I've ever seen, even diamond with 3,2MP camera took better pictures).

Also I can't believe that a multi national corporation like samsung cannot come up with a fix for the GPS and get rid of RFS. I'm using now JPH and I can tell you that lagfix is a must. (I think they don't care)

I new that samsung's phones (look Omnia and Omnia 2) were not to good softwarewise, but I bought this phone because I had no other choice as I could not compare it to desire at that time. Now I think it would be better if I bought desire.

This is definitely the only samsung phone I'll ever own and won't bother to look again in what samsung has to offer even if it had a quad core processor.

I hope I was not too boring and if someone has a different opinion I would love to hear it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roushdii:
please i have a problem

i install any theme successfully but it doesn't appear even after restarting the mobile

and every time i try to change the wall paper i chose one from wallpapers then it doesn't appear also

please someone help me
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
first welcome on xda.

Secondly with some more information it was easilyer to help, but here we go.

mostly themes are package in a cab file, so you download it, copied it to your Sd where ever you will, navigate with your explorer (from your device) tho the path on your sd where you storage the cab file, press on the cab file you will install. You will see a new window open who ask the installation path. select internal memory (do always this fore themes/skins) after installation do a quick restart of device and that's it.

about the wallpaper, go to the setting tab, select background & wallpaper, navigate to the image you would, and select it. that's all.

if you will have a wallpaper fore each tab make use if CHT

in case of something isn't clear contact us again, and give some more information about what you will and problems you have.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roushdii:
first of all thanks alot for your help

now themes are good cuz i was installing on storage card , but now i install on device memory and it is okay

the problem is that i can't change home wall paper ,,

i tried to change it from sitting , home wallpaper ,,,, but it doesn't respond ,, i mean every time i chose a wallpaper it makes no change
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
the actually state is it black ore the original one?

also do you use CHT? (cookies home tab)

Do you have install a other application fore background?

One thing is sure, problem is by user ;) it's just finding out what it is :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roushdii:
yes i installed cookies before but i removed it now and still the wallpaper nochange
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
I see what you mean, it's because you remove the CHT there is a parameter who isn't present now.

Tree way's to restore.

- Restore CHT

- Install bg4all or hq wall patch.

- soft reset

I recommended the first option.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sewez:
I have bought an Xperia X10 about a month and a half from now, since day one(even with low in-call volume) i noticed little distortion. It was Build number 014 i guess.

When i updated my phone to R2BA026 the in-call volume increased so do the distortion. Distortion only exist when call volume is set to maximum( pretty noticeable ) and when i decease it one level distortion kinda disappear.

I'm wondering if anybody got the same problem or it's just my device? (so i can go and replace it at SE support center)

Sorry for my bad English. :o
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
I would say return it to where you bought it or SE service centre. Mine is fine even on full volume.

Good luck.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sewez:
Just making sure, do you have the latest update? 026

you know they give in-call volume slight pump in this update
[XPERIA X10 General] akshaysuri2000:
my call volume is still very low after the update R2BA026. I HATE SONY
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
Ive had 3 what do it.
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
im running fw 26 and the sound sounds pretty clean, and no low in call volume for me
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
After flashing 026 version for about ten times, I have noticed that every time the in call volume has been different. Since last time I did it, I have been stucked with the lowest volume ever so there is something different even in flashing the same firmware over.

I hope the 2.1 will eventually fix this issue/

FAQ

Q: How can I control VLC?

A: You have to activate the http remote interface in the VLC settings.

Go to tools then preferences. At the bottom check the "all" under "show settings". Then expand "Interface" and then click on "Main interfaces" and you can enable "HTTP Remote Control interface" from there. Then restart VLC. Maybe you have to configure your firewall that a local connection is allowed.

Installed it on a Verizon Touch Pro 2 with energy rom 6.5 and Windows 7 64bit. Mostly working good. The physical keyboard on the tp2 works good and the mouse control is fine. opened media center fine.

Couldn't control vlc, seems to lock the vlc control screen if you press a button and it does nothing on the computer. first time i was able to hit ok and it went back to the main control menu, 2nd time though, it didn't and i had to stop the server in order for the phone to start responding properly again after it timed out the connection i guess.

Overall though, pretty decent, didn't try with media player or anything else, I have office 2007 so i will try that out for you and ill get around to media player soon. Sometime when i boot to linux ill try out my virtual xp setup with it. Speaking of, any chance to get the server operational on linux at some point?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigMani:
hi

thanks for the feedback.

I just realized that I forgot to explain that the "HTTP remote control interface" from VLC has to be enabled as the server is communication over this interface with VLC (it is in the settings of VLC). I'll try to make it more stable when the remote control interface is not available and bringing a hint for this.

the server backend is using some windows API functions, I have no clue how to do this for linux, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matspe:
hello,

First of all, thank you for sharing

I will test tonight on my HD2 rom sfr / Vista 32

and for French members,

here is my small contribution: the french translation for .ini file

as cited in the first post, rename the file "language.french.ini" to "language.ini"

voila!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fordry:
Ahh, that worked. For anyone out there who doesn't know where to find this I'll tell ya. Open VLC, go to tools then preferences. At the bottom check the "all" under "show settings". Then expand "Interface" and then click on "Main interfaces" and you can enable "HTTP Remote Control interface" from there. No other settings, though I had to restart vlc in order for it to trigger the Windows Firewall to ask how to handle VLC so you will probably want to do that to get it setup with your firewall.

Another thing I found, I am using english and it shows english in the main server control window, but if i right click on the server icon in the system tray, its all still german.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigMani:
@matspe:

can you translate the server language file as well? then I'll include it in the next version.

@fordry:

I've added your introduction to the FAQ. thanks.

I see there I forgot the translation. I'll fix it in the next release. thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radzi:
Using it on HD2 Tomus and WinXP sp3 and working perfect!

tried and worked perfect with: Powerpoint 2007, Winamp 5.56, MediaPlayerClassic 6.4.9.1, mouse, keyboard, actually I'm writing this from my phone jaja :)

in Mouse mode will be cool to se Page-Scrolling for up and down like notebook's mouse...

vielen dank!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chal:
really funny i'm working on the same right now but with something like config files for each programm so every user can remote control every program

but i have some problems with the server (it crashes every about 30 mins lol)

testet on HD2 with c2 duttys v10 or 11 windows xp sp3 and winamp 5...

the only thing i noticed are crashes when using the keyboard

a sroller would be nice yea and a search function in winamp and album art display
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjollyroger:
Very nice app, thanks.

I'm typing from my HD2 keyboard and I've an issue about letters: to write in small letters I've to set the keyboard on capital letters :confused: and viceversa. EDIT: when restarted the app the capital letters were ok

both on pc and HD2 I have random crashes when typing , the error message is in german though I followed instruction to change the interface language.

could you please explain how to use the media players feature? it's not clear to me

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fordry:
I haven't used any of the others yet, but for vlc, you need to enable its http interface which i explained how to do in one of my posts on the 1st page. Then you need to open vlc manually and once open the controller can control volume, play/pause, stop, and it looks like it has a little playlist management though i didn't play with that at all so im not sure what its capable of there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrm99:
Thank you for this app!!!

Xperia X2 - works great! I've been looking for such a piece of software for a long, long time... Thanks God I've found one that is good for me!:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Symondo:
Seriously impressed with this. I had G remote previously which i found was good although i struggled to set it up - then it just killed my network connections with the amount it was sending/recieving data.

However - after spending the past 15 mins trying to suss out why it wasnt working... I turned the wifi on on my phone lol

Worked first time, no issues and seems very light to use with no lag.

I do get an error message pop up but its in german after about 5 or 6 minutes which then closes down the client software.

My Suggestions: Can you build in landscape mode? would be very handy for the keyboard and possibly the media player.

Unsure how feasible it is but if you could make Swype work with this typing on the pc may actually become redundant.

Running on an HD2 with win mo 6.5.3 and Sense 2.5.2018

Edit:

It appears after using the keyboard after about 5 minutes the error message that appears in german (thanks to google translate) says: The connection to the server has been disconnected

Then the program closes. This doesnt happen with the mouse part of the program. It reconnects with no issues but unsure if theres an error within code which may cause this - hence reporting it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matspe:
Hi BigMani

I would have wanted to translate, but I have not found the same lines, it is not in the file. "ini" :confused:

in the German file perhaps? :rolleyes:
