Well I had my X1 for over 2 weeks and I am utterly impressed, I got touchflo 3d working flawless no glitches, and the keyboard is brillant, I can type like lightning on the thing and when i look at the long paragraphs not one mistake hehehe, I am still getting the next gen mid 2009 but will keep the X1 till then, its a beauty, and one thing I love on it I can watch my videos with a2dp and the videos dont judder just run smoothly, which was my concern b4 purchasing this, A+ the build is pure quality, Whybe you was correct, even the small light on the power button ( I bet nobody noticed that lol) leave usb plug in and take battery out =battery fail light
only thing to get now is the invisibleshield for it,

as for me, I want/like phone that feel like a phone. When I hold it, it feels like ordinary phone, but it is a powerhorse and you can do everything with it.

I like a small formfactor so that I won't feel that I'm carrying a scientific calculator in my pocket.


Try SE G900

I'm still not convinced there will be an X1a because...

The current X1 is X1 and not X1i
The X1 is shown on the US and Australian SE product pages as X1
The X1 has 850/1900 mhz frequencies available to choose
I've read a few reports that these frequencies work fine

hence, no real need for an X1a



I've noticed that too! However there are few ppl in the USA having X1's and not getting 850Mhz 3G connections in states like NY where 850Mhz is exclusively used. I'm wondering if the ROM its set to 850Mhz and yet the hardware isn't capable of it??

To sync with Lotus Notes, I highly recommend Commontime mNotes. There is a 30-day free trial available at http://www.commontime.com.

One word of advice - read the installation instructions carefully, and follow it exactly.

I'm using mNotes Desktop right now and it is very smooth and seamless.


Interesting. You may be the odd man out on this particular situation. I've noticed you mentioned desktop sync - so I'm guessing your work uses RSA HardToken Code for iNotes, right?

This is probably going to be a really stupid question, but when you plug the wall charger into the phone, is it supposed to charge automatically? Because when I plug it in, nothing happens. I've either missed something REALLY simple, or I have a faulty charger, because I can charge the phone fine through the computer......

it will charge automatically. you should see the LED blinking (a mix colour) to indicate that it is charging.

Good to see SE seem to have gotten this one mostly right. How's the video/multimedia performance on the X1? I had a Tytn II previously and it was, famously, very poor for video or anything like that. Now I have an Iphone and it's a complete contrast - brilliant video and graphics, but with a little less of WM's general utility (although the Appstore makes up for a great deal of that). Anyway, I'm sure the X1 is a big improvement on the old Tytn II, but is up to or exceeding Iphone levels for video and gaming?

I'm waiting for the X1a announcement and/or AT&T carrier before making my final decision of which version I'll have.

I never doubt about getting this phone because my logic is: If it works well for someone that means the people complaining are doing something wrong.

Hi,

I'm really sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on how to get some decent quality video playback on the X1.

I have a series of videos that when watched on my laptop are very good quality. I have tried converting these to all sorts of formats, WMV, MP4, FLV, 3GP, etc but anything in WMV format seems to barely play on either Media Player or Coreplayer, and anything else just seems rubbish quality.

Even when watching the converted videos on my laptop they are good quality, and thats on a much much larger screen, so it can't be my conversion software.

Does anyone have any ideas or software they use to convert videos for good quality, speedy playback on the X1? The one key thing I need is the ability to trim the videos (i.e in my existing converter I can set the start and end points if I don't want to convert the whole video).

Any help would be great!

What bitrate are you encoding the videos at and what resolution?

I've tried bitrates of 1500 down to 512 and all seem the same. Have tried resolutions of 800x480, 640x480 and 480x270

Posted by Ratti3
hmmm I don't have a X1 myself but 1.5mbit at 800x480 should work.

This is based on my uses of WM devices.

I have a 4 year old Ipaq HX4700 with a 600Mhz processor that has a VGA screen. It runs 1.5mbit fine via core player. The file is MP4 and was encoded with Nero using 2 passes, 25 keyframes.

It would be interesting to hear if anyone else has done some encoding.

Hi all,

For those of you that are still concerned about Video playback on the X1 as i have said before this was one of the things that X1 really impressed me with. As with properly converted material the results are nothing short of stunning IMO. I also don't really think there is any need to add a 3rd party player either as the built in player plays things perfectly.

Anyway i use a program called Movavi Video Converter 6 which i had already purchased and used with previous devices. All that is needed is to set up a custom profile and enter 800x480 as your custom settings and then the program enters all the other settings for you. If you want to try it you can download a trial version that will allow you convert 30% of a file to see how good it is. Below is my previous post with all the conversion settings that it produces.

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.

Dogmann, do you play the videos that you convert using the above method through Media Player? Because when I convert a video to Mp4, it doesn't seem to even display the file on my phone

Fundamentally speaking, as any OS grows in sophistication, it too will become more sluggish. Thus the need for faster processors to accomodate. Android is new and lean and probably not as feature-rich as the older OS'es.

Look at this programming code for a Hello World program written for Symbian, iPhone, Android and WM.

As you see, WM seems to win in the development simplicity department.

@Whybe ... strange how you didn't mention to read the comments. I'm curious of .Net 3.5/Ruby/Py60 (Python for S60) would reduce the code needed in both WM & S60 respectively.

EDIT: So news states X1a will be available next month

The actual in stock date as of now is December 7th.

You need to download a program to edit the Registry. I recommend PHM RegEdit. Once you've installed it on your phone, you need to go into the editor and go to HKEY_Current_user, then Software, then Microsoft, then Inbox, then Settings, and finally select the OEM folder.

You will then see an option at the bottom called SMSInboxThreadingDisabled. You just need to change the value to 1 (should be 0 at the moment), restart the phone and it should disable the threading for you.

You barely know this neighborhood and already more than 10% of all your post are focus on me. Thanks.

If you haven't read all my previous posts let me tell how I am.

You actually don't even have to restart the phone. Just make sure the SMS/MMS-application is not started when you do the change.
If you use Task Manager 3.1 you can close that application before changing the registry. Task Manager 3.1 is also quite good for registry editing in my opinion.

I only wish there were a way to use threaded messages while seeing the entire timestamp for all messages.

Hi there,

Unfortunately it is a bug, and I'm hoping someone on XDA Developers will fix it soon, as I'm also use TF3 (mentioned it in my TF3 review within this topic).

In the meantime, to get around the issue, create playlist on your PC and transfer them through ActiveSync and WM Player 11, to your X1.

I have not, I understand it still have a few glitches and a bit slow, Maybe you want to wait until it is reported 100% stable. Some people prefer SBP Mobile Shell it's free from Sony-Ericcson and comments say it's not as beautiful as TF3d but faster and less clicks to access apps.

Hmmm,

Slow... not at all! In fact it's faster and slicker than SPB shell, I've tried both and it's definitely faster, yes a few bugs which I've mentioned, no freezes.

Could someone tell me where it's slow? As I don't see it, and I've been happily testing and running it for over a week now. I might be able to help . Initially it might show some lag, but once cache'd it flies, which is why I don't understand random slow comments.

Currently I am testing increased cache settings, etc.

For those that have freezes, as I've mentioned before, it's more likely to be a memory problem - not necessarily TF3 issue. Many are using it, and report no errors and freezes (like myself - so far ).

As for review/comments on TF3, see my earlier post on this forum.

Installation:
1. download the .cab file to your x1, click on file, go make a cup of coffee (takes approx 30-40 mins).
2. "install it on the X1 "not" on a memory card. This could be the reason, others have seen freezes, but I've only tested it installed internally.

For other comments on TF3 check out xperia1.net forum also.

If you don't like it, you can always uninstall.

You might also want to try Wisbar Advance which gives you a cascading start menu, just like on the desktop version of Windows.

Hi all,

I've had my X1 for a couple of weeks now (so according to Vodafone) I guess I'll have to keep it after my 14 day cooling off period, lol. Well I'm more than happy to do so. However Windows Mobile 6 errors strike again!

My Windows Live email account seem unaffected, but I've had to delete and add my yahoo email account 3 times now! As it fails to work for no reason... or so I thought...

The emails error a few have mentioned are down to a good olde Windows Mobile 6.1 BUG! Yes that means "all" Win Mobile handsets are affected.

After re-adding my Yahoo account a couple of times, as a work around, I thought a "cleaner" and easier fix might be around. Well just tonight I've found this BLOG from someone else that seems to confirm the issue.

For those interested:
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk[....]windows-mobile-6-1-smtp-issues

According to the author (Matt) he has had this BUG confirmed by Microsoft themselves. Apparently a fix is in progress and Matt will keep those interested informed.

Chris

p.s. at least it's not an Xperia BUG, I suppose...

wisbar is pretty cool actually - you can also click the taskbar items to minimise or maximise any open program.

Microsoft has posted a fix for the Windows Mobile Send Email bug which affects POP3 and IMAP email accounts. You can search and download it from Microsoft Downloads.

Bloob, the patch and link is also on a separate posting on this site.

I'm also curious why everyone seems so obsessed with TF3D. I also have a Touch Pro and found it pretty poor. I admit it looks GREAT but once that wears off, the reality is:
1. The Today screen can't be configured to include your favourite apps.
2. The Today screen shows tomorrow's appointments before today's so you only see today's appointments if you have nothing on tomorrow!
3. Tapping on the Calendar on the Today screen always brings you to the Windows PIM even if you install a 3rd party PIM and have made it the default.
4. Favourite Contacts kept disappearing and had to be set up again.
5. The Outlook account icon kept disappearing from the Messages screen of TF3D (even though the account itself was still there and when unread mail was synched to it, the number of unread messages would increase). The only fix was a hard reset.
6. The volume settings when using the TF3D media player were totally inadequate. The only volume buttons available were the hardware buttons on the side and on the Touch Pro, the minimum setting was OK on the tube train but way too loud in most other situations (admittedly I use very sensitive ear phones - Shure se530). On the Windows Media Player, there is a separate volume control on the bottom right which could also be adjusted to take into account the sensitvity of the ear phones being used.
7. On the TF3D music player album artwork did not appear on some albums but did for others even though they appear on all when using Windows Media.

These are just issues I remember off the top of my head so there are lots of others I've forgotten. You can see why it puzzles me when you all seem to rave about TF3D. Is this a case of the grass being greener.........

Hi Bloob,

Firstly not everyone is obsessed with TF3, so each to there own. Others like SPB, some like the default panels. So it always surprises me when someone attacks a product, without seeking help or clarification on the problems they have. Many of us will and can help (if you're interested) but if not, no worries either. Obviously your experience is not a good one, but others (as you've said) do not share your problems, with the same device... question should be why? Or is your view the only view? Like I said, we might be able to help - if you'd like it.

Just a thought: maybe you have an old version of the TF3 conversion? Where did you download it from? As there is more than one version floating around.

In repsonse, :
1. Not at the moment, but this is being worked on, check out XDA=Developers.
2. I use appointments, and my screen displays them in order
3. I have tried other PIM's and this is a Windows mobile issue, a registry change is required for it to be used as the default program. Much like Internet Exploder over Opera Browser.
4. Don't have this issue at all.
5. Don't have this issue at all.
6. Your statement doesn't make sense? It's not loud enough, or it's too loud? Most would be extremely happy to hear it's too loud - as you can always turn it down. Hardware buttons - and the problem is?
7. Don't have this issue, what is your recording format? I have both MP3's and WMA's running and displaying album correctly through the TF3D player. I even have some music in different folders (my documents, music, my_music, etc.) and it still picks up the album art correctly from them.

So once again, here to help, but if it's still not for you, that's ok. That's why we have a choice.

Chris
