• handskriftsigenkänningsfunktioner som t.ex. Blocktolk,

Translation:
Using handwriting functions
- Click on the icon and select method of writing (short translation..)
- If you need help with ... Letter recogniser or Transcribing, click question mark.
And the second part goes on the same way.
************************
Now that indicates to me that letter recognition and transcriber is supposed to be there somewhere !
And I'm fairly sure I've seen these functions described on some SE web page. Will look into it...

Hey guys, as you know I have been awaiting for my SILVER X1 since Sunday from Carphone Warehouse on orange 45pm 18 month contract, it finally arrived this afternoon via citylink, got to say for those who doubt CPW, i thought their service was wonderful
.
I have an n96 as well which came two weeks ago and didnt really have much attention from family members, mainly due to the reason it looks like an ordinary phone. But once my X1 was unboxed my family has been over it like a swarm, they love the uniqueness of the phone, the slide out keyboard looks modern, the silver makes it look like an expensive watch whereas if i had the black one it would look ordinary and bland.
and for the software itself my oh my, compare the wi-fi to n96, my x1 browses internet faster than my computer does (not really but u get the drift), so fluid and sexy, whereas the n96 was slow and always lost connection. theres no lag at all between the panels only when switching from landscape to portrait. i did think that because the slide out is so small i thought it was a fake :rolleyes: lol but its really nice compared to htc touch pro cos its smaller, what else erm ill have to play with it more after my dads stopped with the google maps lol, oh and its so easy to browse the net just touch and scroll compared to n96, oh please lol
for all the early adopters, have you updated your x1 via the sony ericsson website or is there no need?
also those who love their x1 please feel free to babble on like me, again i will show pics of the silver x1 to show how sexy it is compared to black. but whatever colour we got ITS AN X1 for heavens sake lol

why does the x1 uses sd instead of m2?

because its a windows mobile phone and thats standard for WM devices, especially from HTC
to use memory stick, SE (or HTC) would have had to develop windows mobile drivers

The Fish panel isn't (completely) useless!

Well, if you should mail the X1Support on this subject you will probably get an answer that it's an error in the manual. I have found that most things I have asked them is either Microsoft Windows Mobile's fault, or an error in the manual.
You can take a look in one of the folders that came with the phone. The one that describes the radio panel.
There should be two buttons on the radio panel, one for alarm settings and one for other settings (I assumed RDS settings).
I mailed the support about this and got the answer that it was unfortunately falsely described in that folder.
And I also found out that the only RDS function the radio supports is frequency switching.

Hi all,
This problem is really starting to bug me and I searching the web, I still can't find a solution. Basically it's an age old problem....
When I transfer my contacts from via bluetooth from my PC using Outlook Express 6, the "File As" order on the phone is "Lastname, Firstname". Whilst on the Outlook Express it's displayed as "Firstname, Lastname".
How on earth can you change the default on the X1 Windows Mobile to be "Firstname, Lastname"?
I've seen a solution for "full-blown" outlook (http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/FileAs.html), but not sure if this fix would work on the Outloook Express version.
At the very least, is it possible to highlight all contacts and do a mass change on the "File As" field?
Many thanks in advance, all ideas/solutions welcome.

T9 keyboard installed with swedish language.. (and 14 others)

Marc,
What's Seven? Can't you use Exchange push email?
Also, the softkeys at the bottom of the display showing different things to what the hard keys underneath them do is not a bug. That's by design.
I have been concerned about text size since I saw the specs of the phone. I've been wanting one of these ever since I saw it, it's just gorgeous. Do you think you could do me a favour? If you still have your X1, could you see if you can see individual pixels? If you can, do you reckon you could set the font size to default, and then count how many pixels high an uppercase letter like I, T, J, M etc is?

A VERY important observation you should ALL pay attention to.
The Japanese and Chinese use a different part of the brain for speech unlike other cultures and languages. They focus on the creative side of the brain, the part for pictures. This makes communication VERY efficient if you learn it fully.
this is probably a first step in GUI for all OS's.

Hi,
I received my Xperia yesterday, but there is no actual manual in there, just a load of leaflets about the panels, multimedia, etc.
Is there supposed to be a manual in there, or is it on the disc?

I haven't opened the disk yet but the label on the disk just says wayfinder.
I also received the same leaflets that your're talking about but I tend to just download the PDF manuals from the support site these days anyway

I have converted an episode of Dexter and the Simpsons to 800x480 MP4 using Movavi Video Converter 6 which i use for all my conversions for the different devices i use.
The only difference between this and my Bold settings is the ratio it still converts the files to a default setting of
Video
800x480
25fps
698kbps
Audio
AAC Profile LC
198kbps
Sample rate 48,000
The files produced using these settings give full screen video with no black bars and the quality is excellent no stutter or lag and perfectly in Sync.
Video playback and Music playback where the two areas that i was most interested in seeing how the X1 performed and IMO it performs very well indeed and i am more than satisfied with the results from both.
I really only have one thing left to do now with my X1 before it's review which is to add my Seven always on Push E-Mail. But so far the only bug is the not changing names on the shortcut buttons and the only slow thing is a Panel as it updates from the static image which suggests to me that the panels are just shortcuts and not running all the time. To be honest with SPB Shell the only panel that i find is getting any use from me is the Media panel the rest IMO are kind of pointless and just replicate what's already available.
@Masseur
I know what you mean whilst the X1 screen is nice and wide it does indeed seem not very high although it actually is as high as the Bold screen but i think due to the extra width it just looks and feels shorter.

Could you kindly confirm whether you are using coreplayer to play back video on the X1, I dont seem to get as good results as you. Have you run benchmark results on coreplayer?

I don't have an X1 (yet) but it's WM6.1 and it comes with SPB shell that lets you do this. What it does is give you a picture of your contact. Touch to call, touch and hold to get options including send SMS. It's pretty easy to do.
[ This Message was edited by: VinnyP! on 2008-10-29 10:04 ]
Posted by masseur
in fact you get a screen with 16 possible contact pictures, or just the name if you have no picture.
touch the picture or name and another screen pops up showing
the picture
a button to dial the mobile number
a button to send an SMS -> this takes you directly to writing the text message with the mobile number already filled in
a button to dial the work number
a button to dial the home number
a button to open the full contact details
the buttons only show if the appropriate number for that button has been entered into the contact details
instead of pressing the picture or name on the main screen, if you press and hold you get a popup menu that offers:-
replace
recent call
spb contacts
edit
remove

Is there a voice recognition software that lets you SMS by voice? Dictate SMS by voice and have received SMS read back to you. I thought I saw it somewhere.
Posted by masseur
I've seen software that will read your text message to you, but not any that will allow you to write the text message by voice
the voice control I have seen (the voice command on some imate and HTC models), and Microsoft voice command, is generally limited general control of the device, initiating phone calls from contact names and choosing media to play by name

Seven is currently still in free Beta and one of the very few Push E-Mail solutions for non business users as well as business users that works with Hotmail/MSN accounts. No as a private user i can't use Microsoft Exchange Server without incurring serious costs.
Sorry the X1 is back in it's box and I'm not going to run set up again i couldn't see individual pixels and the screen is excellent but nothing i could do would increase the text size enough for my taste/needs.
@anath
No i was using the built in Media Player as i don't see why i should have to spend $30 for a 3rd party player the inbuilt player should do this well enough. I used just plain old MP4 as opposed to H.264 or H.263 and as i said those settings produced really stunning results with the inbuilt player and great screen. I had no complaints with ether the Music player or Video Playback on the X1 and they exceeded my expectations.

Hi all,
Eureka!!! On my above issue.
Just in case anyone else has this synchronisation problem, after trailing the web for a couple hours I found this brilliant little program that installs on your X1 and sorts your contacts address book into your required format (mine being firstname, lastname obviously).
For those that are interested it's free link below:
http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=contact
Obviously backup and install at your own risk.
Good job I'm a glass almost full kind of guy
.
Now I can start playing with it properly...

No problem, at all, that's what were all here for
. After it bugged me yesterday, I found a bit of free time after work, to find an answer.
There are ways to re-order using "file as" on Outlook, but that doesn't work for beamed contacts.
Now I get on with reviewing it, though I must say I don't think it's going back

Thanks but qwerty and quad band are important to me as well. That slider deal with Experia just isn't cutting it. I could never understand why
would make a high end phone and not put quad band on it. It is just basic.

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has already been asked....
My Xperia is nearly up and running, but there is one thing I absolutely HATE, and I'm really hoping someone can help. The message threading, where it links all the SMS and MMS together in a conversation like manner.
I've looked online, and it says to use a registry editor. I've located the value I need to edit, but it comes up with Access Denied. Is there anyway to disable this in the phone, or anyone else been able to edit it OK?

@dogmann, that's a shame about the text issue. Like masseur, I don't have an issue with the text size. I'm surprised that a person with 20/20 has such an issue but if that's what you prefer then I accept it's a legitimate complaint.
I have my i780 running in REALVGA mode with similiarly sized text and don't have any problems. Infact I've always considered on a small device like a phone that the smaller the text the better, as it effectively gives more room on the screen. For example websites with small text show more of the page (so less scrolling in full page view), pages of text don't have to be scrolled as often etc.
Good luck with your next phone! Are you going back to the Bold?
Posted by mode
Well, waited for the X1 for a while now, thought it would be my natural upgrade from a P990 but then I've always felt there was something missing in the X1 eventhough the specs seems like the best SE has to offer. It's due to the fact that other than the branding, I can't feel it's difference from the other devices of its class out there. Therefore I'm probably going back to a feature phone, particularly W902 which is a departure from the usual SE stereotype. I've never had a Walkman phone anyways so... I guess I'll still be waiting in the SE smartphone department.
