^^^ I don't know what you want to check, the RAM or the version of Voice Command. I think 30fps capability is a given though

Either way, point me to a free screen capture app and I'll upload a pic or two.

...and, by the way, the RAM part was sarcasm too

Ok... just the RAM i meant to check...

Well, since I took the pics, here ya go:

Im sorry if this has been brought up before. But how, if possible, do you transfer your contacts from an w910 to the x1?

Posted by WhyBe
I went from p910 to X1 by way of Outlook syncing.

Posted by marran
hmm, that might be hard to do. I'm using ubuntu, not windows. Therefore no outlook. :/
Any other way?

Posted by WhyBe
^^^ Yeah, one-by-one...that's guaranteed to work.

I would go borrow someone with a Windows PC and do it the Outlook way. Or maybe you could go to where you bought the phones and have them do it?

Posted by Jabe
or you can copy them to SIM and then from SIM to the new phone. But this only works if you have one phone number per contact, all other info is lost.

Posted by MyP910
thanks to whoever suggest the pocket music for pocket pc. it is so good as a replacement for windows media player. highly recommended.

@whybe

I have same voice command version but surprisingly the option list is different.

edit: just checked the option, only the tittle is different which is email instead of messaging, but the content still same. after I uncheck the option for high priority message, now the program reads all the incoming sms...

thanks.

Gonna jump in here guys, just a quick question, would appreciate your replies.

I tried MS voice command several weeks ago, but had an issue with my battery discharging a lot faster than usual. I wasnt using voice command much at all, but the problem seemed to go away after i uninstalled voice command.

So, could anyone using it, please tell me if you think it uses more power than an X1 without it? By that i mean, without it i was going a couple of days before charging, and when installed, it was like 3/4 of a day, and i was getting the low battery alarm.

I would love to have this on my X1, so would appreciate the input from fellow X1 ers.

Thanks people.

By the way Whybe, Nice shot with the 384 ram thing. Made me laugh.

Merry Xmas all, and stay happy.

Posted by WhyBe
I'll try doing that today. Voice Command was the first thing I installed, so I can't tell the difference it makes in battery life, plus I'm using the phone all day too.

I imagine the speech recognition and text-to-speech are probably CPU intensive, but otherwise, I don't see how a dormant Voice Command would be excessive drain on the battery.

haha, maybe I'm doing it wrong, but one by one doesn't work either. x)
copy to SIM is unfortunatley out of the question. Guess I'll have to fire up that old vista junk.

Posted by WhyBe
One-by-One is universally cross-platform. It works between any two cell phones ever invented.

Posted by marran
haha im gonna have to try that again then. x)

Edit: Did it the outlook way, thanks for the help!

which software do you use for encoding videos from PC do XPERIA?

Posted by Creid
Ref. Voice control, if you install batteryStatus today-plugin, you can see the mA or mW usage

since installing MVC my battery is running out suprisingly quick !

GOM encoder. It is easy to use but you can adjust all the settings if you wisha and it is free.
But it is not the only one, there are many more, both free and commercial.

whats best settings on gom for x1? thanks



Posted by Jabe
CODEC TAB:
mpeg4 avc
1 vbr pass
keyframe interval 5
video quality 100
baseline 1.3

VIDEO TAB:
no change to everything (unless you are converting HD, then set resolution to 800x)
you can use deblock or sharpen if necessary


But you can save a lot of space by choosing quality 50 and the video is still very good. quality 100 is of course better but far from twice as good.

example:
original file 350mb (tipical tv show)
quality 100: 240mb
quality 50: 150mb

I have to correct you, GOM is not free, you can download trial version with demo limitations only

Posted by Jabe
Well, you are right, but I did not find a way to buy it and there are no real restrictions. The only thing is the GOM logo encoded in the first ten seconds of the movie. But you are right, it is released as a trial.

is anyone else having problems playing wmv files with windows media player?
every wmv file i open with wmp is super lagging. the audio is gd only the video lags alot.
to think wmp should be able to play wmv files smoothly...lolz.
even with coreplayer it lags..

Posted by WhyBe
^^^ For WMV files, keep the bitrate to 384kbps or lower. That works for me.

Use the guidelines documented here under Video Codecs.

So my Xperia came today!
First thing:
I added Opera Mobile and Google maps to Xperia panels.
Without any installing new things just looking around,
OperaMobile and Google maps disappeared from the Programs!
It's on the popup menu where you have 7 programs displayed,
but not on the programs manu, and now instead of shortcuts I see question marks!
What the heck??

Posted by doministry
I got it.
Programs which are on the popup menu are not anymore in the programs page...

Posted by masseur
you can use file explorer, or windows explorer when you have the X1 connected, to move the shortcuts to wherever you want them, i.e. to the programs menu


Posted by doministry
So, if my ROM is 1.02.931.3
I don't need to update??
P.s. How to set photos to be stored on Memory Card??

Posted by masseur
thats the firmware I have and I haven't seen any newer yet

as you might have thought, the setting for photo location is in the camera settings

start the camera, click the spanner, then click the down arrow which appears in the same location as the spanner, then on the left click the top left icon for general settings. The middle bottom option is "save to" so click that and select either Phone or Memory Card

Posted by Mizzle
Can't believe the new one isn't out yet. It was finished twenty days ago.

Posted by Astral1
Are you allowed to say anything about what fixes/improvements/additions might be in it, Mizzle?

Please?

Please?

The arrow!
I didn't see it, it's ok now.
I have this little annoying thing that each time I exit camera, Transcriber appears on scree.

Mizzle,
good to know the new FW is ready!
Is it BETTER??

Posted by Astral1
Doministry,
Hope all goes well for you with your X1.
You were a symbian user, werent you?

I love the phone, warts and all, but i came from a k800i, so might not be so bad to learn, for me.

I am steadily finding all the bits and pieces that do things my way, rather than SE/Winmo's way, and it is getting better week by week.

Love it!

I was an UIQ user and loved it, regeret the death of it.
But just now WM looks great too in the shape of X1 and I'm also hoping for good.
Looks and feels great!!!

One more question: after upgrade, the phone also looses it's settings, right??

Posted by masseur
windows mobile firmware upgrades wipe everything so that when you turn it on after the upgrade, you go through the same steps you did the first time you started the phone

Posted by Astral1
I would reccomend you to run a backup before you run a ROM upgrade, if thats what you mean.
I'm new to winmo, but i would assume that with a ROM flash, the phone would be "factory reset", and all those personal settings would be gone, yes.

I would also assume that, restoring a backup should put them back, unless something in the new ROM is redically different.

I will let the Winmo regulars correct me if i'm wrong, hopefully, as i will be in that position soon, if Mizzle is correct.

Why can they not release FW R3 when it is ready?

Just wanted to be sure since WinMo on X1 requires much more personalisation than UIQ3 on P1 and will be pain to set it manually again.
How do you backup than??

Posted by WhyBe
^^^ I didn't even know there was a version 2 firmware. What was fixed?

As far as backing up, I use spb Backup and it has a ROM update option. I haven't used that feature yet, but, I think it takes into account that you are restoring files to a newly updated firmware.

WhyBe

Thanks, I'm so new to WinMo.
But already falled in love with X1.

Posted by Astral1
Wow!
Thanks again, Whybe.
I use SPB backup, but didnt know about the rom update thing.
You are sure learning this stuff faster than me. hehe.

Trouble, now is, with Mizzle mentioning the new ROM, we'll all be impatient till it comes out. I trust Mizzles information, so it can only be a matter of time.

Ah well. At least i can experiment a bit more with some 3rd party stuff, knowing a hard reset (ROM update) is on its way, if my X1 gets a bit flaky.

Stay happy, all.

Posted by doministry
Dear advanced X1 users,
please tell - does it go slower over time??

Posted by WhyBe
I haven't noticed it under normal day-to-day use, but it can happen. Nothing that a soft-reset doesn't fix.

It has happened when I am having a field-day, installing, uninstalling apps (especially freeware), seeing what I like and don't like. I mostly blame major malfunctions/slowdowns on poorly written apps or tweaks--not Windows Mobile itself.

Some things I do as a habit:
1) Soft reset daily. It doesn't appear neccessary, but I do it because it can only benefit.
2) Don't close programs after they are run the first time. Let them remain in the task manager.
3) If you absolutely are not going to use the program again, THEN close it fully.
4) In Settings->Task Manager->Button, I have "Enable the X button to end running programs" checked and "End programs by tapping and holding X" selected. "Enable Quick Menu on Today" is also checked.
5) Keep my X1 fully backed-up (with spb Backup) just in case a new app really screws up the stability. I can always go back to where I know everything worked perfectly.

Superb, so it works fine!
I have the same settings of Task Manager.
I understand soft reset as just rebooting the device, right?
P.S. So, spb Backup does nicely backup also settings??

Posted by Astral1
Are any of you using any of the touch-flo 3d cabs, as a panel, or otherwise, and if so, are there any stability issues?

I tried both XDA cabs, early on, and found my X1 would freeze when changing panels.

I would like to have Touch-flo 3D, but not if it is going to be problematic.

I read on XDA people having mixed results with it, so thought i would ask here. I value your opinions.

Cheers.

Posted by MyP910
I have Touchflo 3D as a panel... and so far I don't have any problem with it.

But, I don't use that panel anymore since it can not render in landscape mode, and sometimes you need to scroll many pages to get what you want...

therefore, I'm using Sony Ericsson panel and very happy with it.

I would recommend anyone to try S2u2 software, which is slider to unlock software like iphone.
I like this software for two reasons :
1. It will automatically lock your phone and switch off the screen when you talk on the phone.
2. the incoming call contact picture is big.

Posted by doministry
I would never try TouchFlo.
Tried it on HTC Pro (had it for few days),
And for me SE Panels are 100 times better.

Posted by doministry
Interesting:
X1 supports ClearType which beautifully supports clearing all the edges,
but why only on horizontal mode??

@doministry

I'm glad you like your X1. I love mine too I have discovered something disturbing today... The paint on the batery cover edges is wearing thin After 3 weeks!? I'm treating my Xperia like a little baby and I'm just wondering what would happen if I used it "normally"?
