Depends on the program. It should be explained on the programs' site
Posted by l337h1um
Most software you can install on the card or on the phone. Do you realise that the phone's internal persistent storage is actually much faster than the external memory card's? I keep this in mind, generally above storage space considerations, whenever I install new software.
Personally, I install everything that I use every day on the phone, so that it loads as fast as possible - like all Today plugins, all programs I have running at startup, all UI extensions and all panels. Stuff that's big or that I don't use regularly, I install on the card.
So for example I would install XperiaTweak on the card - if I installed it at all - because you don't run it very often. XperiaTweak is actually pretty crap - try Advanced Configuration Editor, it offers like 20 times as many options. Most games and other miscellaneous apps I keep on the card. But because Batti is a battery meter that you run all the time, I'd keep it on the phone, along with Today plugins, Spb Shell, Spb Pocket Plus, and other OS enhancement stuff.

Looking for experience opinions with ICE-40 case.
I read a few places that the magnet on the case switches screen orientation when putting the phone in. Any truth to it?
The phone is fantatstic. Only had it about a week, but it truly is a much more capable device than my C902.

Hey all, been a while since I posted. My Xperia is getting worse and worse... It's still locking up and freezing up every other day. I have to soft reset it or remove the battery every other day when it freezes...
Also my Xperia started cracking a little less than a month ago and now has two massive cracks on each side of it's back, one next to the volume rocker and a matching one next to the usb port on the opposite side... I baby all of my electronics, and even bought an expensive case for it too! EVERY SE phone I've ever owned has had a serious hardware defect (both my t610 and k800i developed joystick problems that rendered them almost unusable after only a few short months of use, while my w850i's dpad started cracking and falling apart after only a few short months of use). This is the last time I will ever buy one of SE's ticking time bombs!
Also I have to say that the clock on my second SE panel is an hour off now (slow), and I can't seem to fix it...
This last Sunday my phones alarm never went off, finally getting up about an hour late I looked and noticed that my phone said that the time had changed because of day light savings (stupid archaic US practices!). Since the time change it's been an hour slow from the time displayed in the top tool bar, and I can't seem to fix it... I've gone into the clock adjustment screen and tried everyting I can think of without any luck, short of a hard reset, which I don't particularly want to do...
All in all, I'm not very happy with my purchase, and have serious buyers remorse. This will definitely be the last SE phone I ever own. I honestly can't wait for the N97 to come out so I can unload this dud on someone else.
Man your brave! they don't like problems being reported in this thread!

Has anyone tried the 2 new panels (SPB Traveller and SPB Weather)? They seem ok, but are chargeable after a trial period - you can buy the two bundled together for £35.91. Seems a bit steep to me
Posted by augie7107
I haven'tried them because I saw download/buy it on the SE Fun & Downloads link.
I'm happy with accuweather for free.
Thanks for verifying they are not permanently free.

I won't be able to try the new panels for a while. My X1 is in the UK for repair. And there is a delay in getting parts to repair it. And they have no idea how long it will take to get them in.
I am getting quite frustrated.

Enlightened me!
The TyTN2 was a decent phone in its day, back when the iPhone was just a very expensive ipod with no third party apps, no Exchange email, no real comparison to the smartphones I was used to. But the iPhone 3G left it for dust, and it's still light years ahead of the X1 for all the same reasons! It'll be pushed even further ahead in June when OS3 hits, when all X1 users have to look forward to is obsolescence (and perhaps one last massively expensive panel to add to the meagre collection).
Sorry to be so negative, but I really think the X1 is an expensive lesson to all concerned. SE need to drastically improve their smartphone game (what there is of it) and the customers need to be a hell of a lot more wary of whatever comes next.
Who was Johnny X btw? Anyone care? Thought not.

Geeky businessmen would disagree with you Boinng. iPhone is more mainstream so it would always appeal to more people.
Posted by Scorchio
The Iphone is absolutely RUBBISH at multitasking and therefore for that simple reason; it os NOT better than the X1.
Iphone is nice but only just qualifies as a smart phone when it comes to running many apps at once which I do.
That must be why I'm still using a P1
Incidentally to all those iPhone geeks out there... I did use an Iphone for a while.... It went straight back into the naff box it came in. It's a nice sexy midrange phone and very well put together but it is far from the powerhouse that it is advertised as.
IMHO

Nothing to add.
And SE X1 rocks...
There's no aspect where iPhone can battle that, in some ways it's not even close to it.
But that was discussed 100 times..
Let them love it for any reason...

Johnny X is more important than, say, Steve Jobs.
Don't remind me - I already know that the above sentence is idiotic but I just couldn't hold back.
Posted by Tigershark42
Hmmn, I dont know. The fact is, both devices have their own characteristics. Neither is better than the other, but each is the more competent in certain areas. Be aware though, that sim free, the iphone is very expensive also. Also, if the X1 was provided with the massive number of apps which the iphone has backing it (for free, not the WM trial or $$ rubbish), then there would be no question which is better. IMO, there is very little that the X1 can be criticized for, as a device (barring wm faults, of course). Mainly, I'd just want it to be faster and to have a more sophisticated mxp, and a better speaker would be nice, too.

@Tigershark42 seconded, in my country iPhone 3G (SIM free) retails for around $1,100.

For the average user who doesnt know what is what...it is fine to use... when you can write a better software then call it crap...lol... I personally use it over advanced config. because I dont have the time to mess with all the different settings it has,which MOST people will never use or understand anyway.

Good news for X1 owners:
WM6.5 upgrade policy has been changed! Now Microsoft will leave it up to vendors to decide whether they will release new devices with the new software only or whether they will offer upgrades to existing devices. You need 128MB RAM and 400MHz processing to be able to upgrade. This could be a pretty crucial upgrade for the X1 IF SE decide to make the X1 upgradable. Otherwise, you will need to go to XDA Devs for something new >D

I was going to make this point too. How much cheaper is an unsubsidized iPhone? I thought it was $599. I got my X1 for $35 more.
Also, if the X1 was provided with the massive number of apps which the iphone has backing it (for free, not the WM trial or $$ rubbish), then there would be no question which is better.
I don't understand. There are tons of free WM apps available.
IMO, there is very little that the X1 can be criticized for, as a device (barring wm faults, of course). Mainly, I'd just want it to be faster and to have a more sophisticated mxp...
There is a new MXP panel available on XDA (doesn't work for me though). It's from the upcoming R3 ROM update.
[ This Message was edited by: WhyBe on 2009-04-01 02:21 ]
Posted by Tigershark42
Yeah, but I hear that this new Mxp still doesn't provide some core functionality like folder support (and is it just mine, or do other X1s also take a long time to load contacts in Mxp?). I just can't wait to see WM6.5 running on an X1 because it definately helps to remove that archaic look from alot of the basic screens (IMO). But again, what I want most is for the X1 to be faster somehow, without the need to uninstall programs.
BTW, in my opinion WM apps just don't have the support that the iPhone apps have. The freeware for WM is far less robust, and as far as I can see, much of the newer software of significant use for newer handsets (such as the X1) is 'homemade' by XDA members, etc, rather than more commercial developers. At least that's the way I see it.

Im so glad that there may be the option of SE offering WM6.5 as an upgrade. I absolutely love the Titanium today screen (im using itjes 6.5 rom) and couldnt go back to the standard today or a panel. I have suggested to many devs on XDA to develop a Titanium plugin or panel for 6.1 - especially for the X1 as the longer screen makes it an absolute dream to use.

Hello All,
I just got my black X1i UK Vodafone and its AWESOME.
I am too lazy to go through all the post. So I've got a couple of humble questions and I am sure there would someone who could guide me in the right direction.
What if I de-brand the phone thought DAVINCITEAM? Will it make the phone much better, as this Vodafone branded is a kind of annoying?
Will de-branding/flashing make this phone unlocked?
Regards

I don't think a firmware update would fix that. It's not normal at all - you should return your phone.

I'm using wm6.5 rom from itje... (not the latest build)...and very satisfied with it...
the most amazing things is the battery life. I think, the power management for 6.5 is better than 6.1. With 6.5 my battery can last two days !. Previously, I have to charge my phone every night (before sleep)...but now, I can charge every two days....
The only limitation is the memory consumption. The boot up memory usage for 6.5 is about 40% compared to 28% for 6.1. I think, the OS is not optimised yet for the memory management.

First things first: write properly.
The X1 will read SDHC cards just fine. I have a 16GB card in mine and it works fine.
You should try formatting your card. Put it in a Windows or Linux PC and format it as FAT or FAT32.

okay... and I've just changed to wm6.5 RC1... and it is much much better. veryyyyy fast, smooth scrolling, fast in changing panel, fast in potrait to landscpae and vice versa. In short...its damn fast.... and the memory usage seems lower than before....
Good stuff !

Previously I used wm6.5 beta1 ROM for about 1 week without single crash. The only problem is after 2 days, the phone becomes slow (I think this is due to the memory management problem). Once you restart the phone, it is fast.
Then I changed to wm6.5 RC1.. and been having bout 3 days until today also without single crash. The memory limitation seems gone and the phone is constantly fast.
in short, the RC1 much much better then beta1... and to me wm6.5 much much better than 6.1 in terms of finger friendly, fast, no lagging and smooth scrolling.
Posted by spine6
I agree that WM6.5 is much better than WM6.1 even though its just a RC1....
