[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
I have a Deji, and it's good. I've used it for 9+ months now and it's a good stock replacement. Performance for the 1st few months were great, but now it can only last 17 - 20 hours. before it could do 24ish.

The Deji quality looks better than the crap you get on ebay and it looks like a legit china battery brand. Comes in a metal case and some warranty cards.

Who cares of the numbers are fake. the battery isn't that expensive anyway. it's atleast as good as stock.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] naero:
about two month ago, i bougt a deji bst-38 battery at dinodirect and i can agree, that u have more battery-performane.

my experience is, that the deji let my x10mini pro about 4h longer online than the original battery of se.

and for this price. WOW!! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stodgybread1504:
Thanks for the tests, bought mine Deji today..

vlissine, the batery autonomy is better than original.. past few days.. ?
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Hi everyone,

I just got a router today and set it up with a hidden SSID.

I have no problem connecting to broadcasted SSID, but it won't let me connect to this hidden SSID router.

Steps taken:

1. Remembered the SSID

2. Entered the WPA password

What happens next is the Aria just keeps scanning for available wifi. It doesn't connect automatically to the hidden SSID (home). Neither did it allow me to manually connect by clicking on 'home'. Instead, it gave me an option to

Forget

the network if I click on it.

I noticed there are several threads that belongs in other forums in XDA but none of them answers this question.

Any advice/suggestions? Greatly appreciate it!

Thanks everyone!
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Update:

By the way I read a thread that we have to add the device MAC address to the routers' filter. Did that but still won't connect automatically. Neither does it allow me to connect manually.

Clicking on 'home' just gave me the same options:

1. Forget network

2. Change password

If only it would give me a third option:

3. Connect

That would be great!
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You did not mention which Aria ROM you are using.
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
Did you type it exactly the same? Its case sensitive.
[HTC Aria General] bunky213:
I've turned off MAC filtering because some routers have a max that can be in the list, preventing the later ones from connecting. I've had no problems connecting to both my Westell (home) and Netgear (work) routers with hidden SSID's after turning off MAC filtering using stock ROMs (2 & 12)
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
I've used mac filtering before with a hidden ssid and never had any problems connecting. I'm guessing maybe he typed the ssid wrong. The devices don't care if it's hidden or not. What matters is it it's typed correctly and that it's in range to see it.
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Thanks for the enthusiastic response everyone!

Sorry I forgot to mention my ROM. I'm using Liberated R12 here.

I've undertaken all these steps:

1. Case sensitive SSID is correct (all lowercase which is correct)

2. password is 100% correct

3. wifi is in range (sat right next to it) - I'm using D-link router

These happened:

1. Range not found

2. Can't connect manually

So anyway, I've decided to broadcast SSID and password protect it instead. Also removed MAC filtering. No problem now.

However just for future reference, let's get to the bottom of this!

By the way, I noticed that the Aria is receiving weaker signals than the iPod and Blackberry that is also within the same range distance. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again guys!
[HTC Aria General] kip1010:
Greetings all,

I just purchased the aria and am having a

variation on this problem. I have successfully

gotten my aria to connect to my hidden SSID

network. However, if I leave the range of the

and then return, it will not connect automatically.

If I try to add a network of the correct name, it

will suddenly find my network. I have version

2.1-update1 on my phone and I suspect this to

on the phone end since my wife's phone does not

have this problem and they were purchased at the

same time. Thank you for your time.

Keith
[HTC Aria General] tnik:
Very well could be your phone. On stock rom and even cm6 I had no problem connecting to a hidden network. It was with the cm7 nightlies that I had to turn SSID broadcasts back on.

I got my DHD on Monday. I cant get over how brilliant it is. Admittedly I upgraded from a touch diamond 2 running windows 6,5.

The speed, android, the apps, fast internet, its just brillaint. The user experiece is better than Apple.

I didnt need to transfer my calendar contacts, because I used gmail. It just works!!

Amazing!!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebee2:
So, the problem again:

hd2 htc calendar hangs in week-view

- does not hang in any other view of HTC Calendar, I've been using them all previously.

- MS (orig) Calendar still works. (I do not want to use that one. Besides, I do not like the idea of having a freezed-out application running all the time on my phone)

all other apps are running

htc calendar does not respond to any "tapping"

Do not know what to do with it. Soft reset does not change a thing, when I hit the Calendar icon on home screen, I get the bloody hanged application again.

Is there a way to change the view "offline"?

I would like to change to month view that way and never touch the "week" view option again.

Any other ideas?

Thx in advance

it's solved.

I switched from an Android phone to WP7 last week.

The main reason was speed/responsiveness of the os; I never thought android was particularly slow until I used wp7. I do miss some of the apps I had on android, but so far the speed, ease of use, and overall feel of wp7 is more important to me than any missing features.

It's only been a week, so that could change; I tend to get bored and change phones fairly often. I don't think I'd go back to Android though, I wasn't loving it. I loved the palm pre I had before my android phone, If HP puts out some sick hardware in 2011 I could be tempted to go back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dccorona:
I switched from an iPhone 4 to an HTC Surround (still have the iPhone, so I can switch back and forth), and I'm very impressed with WP7. Although there's a lot missing, everything there is so detailed and polished that you don't think about what you don't have. Also, I was surprised by the quality of the screen, considering I was coming from an iPhone 4, which is widely considered to have the best smartphone screen. I didn't notice a decrease in quality, and the colors actually seem more vibrant on the HTC
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mobiplayer:
My previous phones were: Nexus One, HTC Hero, Blackberry Storm 2, Nokia N900, Palm Pre, Acer Liquid, iPhone 3GS, HTC Dream. So I'm switching handsets and OSes often but I was in love with Android, now I think I'll stay with WP7 some months. At least until we get cut&paste + multitasking.

The problem is that I'm in love with the HTC HD7 and the Samsung Omnia 7 but I've got a Trophy :( (happy with my Trophy but I want 4").

I like the responsiveness (smooooth!) of the UI and also the multimedia capabilities + Zune Pass :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] cutegigi:
im switching from android 2.1. Mainly because just want to try new platform. so far i like WP7. even with all its short comings.

One thing I personally feel is that somehow WP7 feels more like a phone, while android feels like super mini tablet. not really sure why.

I also love the speed and responsiveness of the phone. definitely better then my old android maybe. although to be honest hardware difference might also played a strong influence.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mr mystery:
I have my Iphone 4, my Optimus 7 and an Acer Liquid. Can't stan the lag with Android so it's rarely used my Iphone 4 is used solely for my iTunes library now (basically iPod touch) but this is only due to my lazyness in switching my library to Zune. Once I do that I may just sell the iPhone. We will see after the January update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
I have the epic 4g, im switching because i dont like android and wp7 looks like something new and fun
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sk17z0:
My wife had a G1 (white) and she now has a HD7. She liked what the Win7 had to offer and Netflix was a plus for her. I had a G1 (black, rooted) and now I have a G2. Im sticking with Android because it gives me plenty of options.
[Windows Phone 7 General] goemonate:
I have been a Windows fans for some years, but I am now an Android user. I Tested the HD7 at a HTC roadshow last week. my feeling to WP7 is that it is far from the current standard of a smartphone. it lacks of a lot of elements to be a "all-in-one" device.

I will keep my Android for some while.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
My girlfriend got a galaxy S vibrant and my buddy has a Nexus One. My other buddy has an Iphone and after playing with all those phones, I went and got a HD7.

I will not be looking back as I am a patient man and trust that MS will make those updates work for us.

I mean, they managed to save Vista right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] chaoscentral:
Switching from a Vibrant to an HD7 myself soon. I'm getting it mainly to test some applications I've been developing. But the speed and UI, as well as unified updates has pushed me over the edge.
[Windows Phone 7 General] akachay:
i switch from android (samsung captivate froyo). i like to tinker with new OS. i love them all. ps, for those with so call lagging android, they don't know what they're doing. switching to wp7 from my captivate was a step down especially in apps and speed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] greener88:
I had a samsung galaxy s (running 2.1, rooted, with lag fix) before switching to WP7. Granted there are a lot of things android does better than WP7, but it doesn't come close in terms of speed - even with the lag fix.

This is my opinion anyway. So in your opinion I don't know what I'm doing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
then why did I have to root and install a lag fix on my buddy's vibrant? He couldn't understand why his real android phone worked worse than my hd2 running android from the card....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Theguru1:
well i switched last just yesterday from iphone 4 to hd7. I must say i'm very impressed. It is fresh take on any OS and for what it is worth it beats all of them hands down. Ok it doesn't future some bits and bobs but mostly they well come with an update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I switched and I am eagerly waiting for my venue pro. going back to android from wp7 I found myself growing impatient and frustrated at android's seemingly snail pace and lack of fluidity in the ue department

the ability to try programs, the zune experience, and the overall ue experience really makes for an excellent OS and microsoft should be proud of their progress thus far
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Switched from an iPhone about a week after launched, I got a new Focus. Truth be told, when I went to the AT&T store (only went because I actually lost my iPhone) I had planned to buy an iPhone 4, but decided to look over the WP7 phones in person. I'd read some reviews that praised the OS but otherwise essentially said "wait for the update," but once I got my hands on the device and was able to play with it side by side with the iPhone 4, there really was no contest, and I bought the Focus.

So far WP7 isn't perfect. I'm sure we're all aware of the obvious features missing, and the fresh, new app store is far from what Android and iOS offer. But that said, there are so many things just *right* about WP7 that I really can't complain, especially hearing that the first update coming in January should fix a lot of those minor issues.

I look at the bright side of the platform's "newness": I've got lots of goodies to look forward to. It's just like when I first got an iPhone, except faster, sleeker and far more useful :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] ew4936:
currently on android (htc desire z), will switch to wp7 when there is more support for the OS. From what I've seen though, wp7 is making a lot of progress despite being in its early stages. Hope MS can give consumers an OS that will leave me with no regret when I switch over from android. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jennan88:
I'm tossing up between getting another android or a WP7 device, probably an HTC trophy. The things that **** me about android are the jerky, jumpy scrolling, bad browser experience and horrible implementation of pinch-to-zoom. It's annoying having a play on my brother's iPhone and realising how much better it is, but WP7 seems to be a genuine competitior
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
I will soon be another happy switcher when my upgrade comes up in Feb. By that time a lot of the kinks will be addressed. My problem with Android is the sluggishness you get at times. Nag all you want about the iPhone or WP7, but they have smoother experiences. I'm sick of my phone having jerky scrolling and just plain FREEZING! Android is starting to the have the same problem as WM6.5, except Android has a more successful app store, and has better hardware and developer support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hungry81:
Nope I dont want a iphone clone. I wouldnt consider touching an apple product so ill stick with my Xperia and HD2. HD2 is an awesome phone, so much versatility. Get sick of 6.5 switch over to android and vice versa. Microsoft made a big mistake in trying to copy apple.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
um other than having to use the marketplace for apps in what way at all is wp7 like ios??? ios is just apps on a grid i see no grids at all on wp7 i see hubs and they rock, its hard to explain why until you use them and it all makes so much more sense. Android is so much closer to ios then wp7.

regards switching i would say if you like to mess with how the phone works stick to android but if your looking for a fast smooth phone with the right features not just a mash up of stuff thrown together, or if you like a great music expiriance or xbox live then wp7 is for you. Just remember that there is a couple of holes that are getting fixed in january (though if your still in the thinking stage this should not be an issue)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anthonok:
jumped ship from iphone to android then back to iphone now im on WP7 and loving it way more!
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
may i ask... what made you jump each time? what did you like/dislike and were these deciding factors for your jump?
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Switching from Android to WP7 next week. Android is pretty awesome but I prefer a smoother OS and the multimedia options absolutely destroy Androids.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anthonok:
well the jump from iPhone to Android was due to being bored with iPhone after 3 phones doing essential the same thing. I had gotten the newest model each year from 3g and up. The iPhone 4 was great. The screen being the best feature. I felt in the long run it was just time to change. So I returned it and got a Samsung captivate. I really had no problems with Android in general but the non working GPS on the phone is what really made me return it. I then picked up another iphone 4 (my gf wanted one so i used it until wp7 was released) i would then use my little brother's line(my family is on MY plan im 22) to get my focus and give my gf the iphone(that got stolen from the car in downtown Orlando the night after i gave it to her). I can honestly say that i love my wp7 device and i know things can only get better from here out with the OS. I may pick up a Nexus S if an ATT version is made. Like i said I've got no real issues with android but that wouldn't be my "Main" device. Wp7 All the way. I love having Xbox live on my phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ianken:
I got an HD7 via work. I will probably go back to my N1.

It's no more "faster" than my N1 running cyanogen 6.1, that's for sure. Yes, there's graphics that zoom around but...

1) no background tasks: hey, lets wait for every app to load and pull down data. On Android my RSS feed reader (FeedR) is always up to date, and I can see its status in the widgets. This is my biggest beef. Yes, the 3D bling is nice and fast, but app load times for anything other than the native MSFT provided apps is weaksauce.

2) Music streaming? Not even ASX works, how sad is that? Go to sky.fm and try to stream WMA. "windows phone does not support asx" Fail. Zune marketplace streaming over 3G "works" but does not buffer aggressively enough to be used on the move. It drops out more than xiialive on Android. They need to follow the Pandora model here and buffer way ahead WHILE PLAYING. Pandora works on Edge.

3) No support for custom ringtones. FAIL.

4) The app store is a trainwreck. goto "apps" and search. Oh look, music. Nice.

5) UI customize-ability: Oh, you can change some colors and move rectangles around. Your app list is a long list. Big whoop. Cannot touch widgets and folders for keeping your phone tuned to your needs. Sorry.

6) Unified contacts: what a mess. I have it sync to exchange, gmail and live. for some contacts they are in all three buckets. Only names and phone numbers are unified. I get three identical email addresses and street addresses for everyone. STUPID. Facebook sync brings in ALL my facebook "friends" even the ones I've hidden. Take a queue from Google: only bring in FB data for existing contacts.

7) Bing maps is good but it'll be a cold day in hell I pay $10/month for telenav. Bing needs to add turn by turn.

8) Landscape support is a joke. You can tell a user is on a WP7 device by the way they're constantly rotating the phone.

Ok. the good:

Netflix: this works AWESOME.

Exchange: Ditto. The client is excellent.

Zune Client: Streaming issues aside it is still awesome

Zune PC software: also good, but not great.

compared to wp7 the iphone really looks old. a few downsides are present, but overall wp7 is much more fun to use than iOs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
*Laughs*

Translation: A stock HD7 is just as fast as an N1 with a ROM modded for speed. But the HD7 also has zoomy graphics.

Translation: I like how the HD7 native apps do indeed run in the background, but that battery life is enhanced by third party apps suspending when I'm not looking at them. I also like the way the live tiles receive push notifications so the app doesn't need to sit there in the background polling servers and further draining my battery. I love the way the native apps load so quickly and all the 3D bling is nice and fast.

Translation: I stream music over 3G all the time, paying a small fortune for the privilege. After all, with the average data cap being 500MB per month, I know that I can stream this many songs per day;

500MB * 8bits/byte = 4Gbits/month / 30 days = 133Mbits/day

I song (@ 128Kbps) = 4MB = 32Mbits

Therefore 133Mbits / 32Mbits = 4.

Yes, 4. So to listen to streamed music over 3G I like to give the phone companies all my cash.

Translation: I don't like any of the ringtones provided and I'm going to stamp my feet and throw my toys out the pram until my phone makes the noise I want it to. Oh wait, it's coming in January?

Translation: I had no idea the search button is currently generic in the Marketplace.

Translation: I like phones that are so crap I have to customize them.

Translation: I keep all my contacts in three different mail systems and then get upset when there are duplicates. This isn't my fault it's Microsoft's.

Translation: Some idiot told me Telenav was available in the app store and that it's $10 a month but failed to mention Bing maps is getting turn by turn in January. Wait, Telenav is operator provided? Oh.

Translation: I wanna see portait-orientated stuff in Landscape! Just 'cos!
