I just cannot find it. How to multi-select some picture either in phone, camera or storage card?
I can only 'beam' ie. 1 picture, file. In my P990 whenever I select 'mark' then in front of all files/pics come a box up in front to select some of it.
With my X1 I cannot get to that. Its hopefully there....

If you multi-select files, the options to do anything with them (Bean, Send) are greyed out.

I've mentioned it a few times but I'm happy to say it again
On WM, you can multi select just as you do in Windows
either in file manager or the pictures and videos program, select the first picture you want, then popup the keyboard, press the control key, then select any other images you want and this can be contiguous or non contiguous
also, similar to windows, if you want to select a contiguous range simply select the first image, press shift on the keyboard and select the last image in the range

Thanks, that's good to know. I use the transcriber and Resco Keyboard, never bothered to mess with the standard WM keyboard. |

I have both those too. resco is my preferred file manager and simplifies the multi select by having an option in the edit menu for "Multi-selection mode"

Thanks to mention this 'again'. Much appreciated!
However, the thing with the 'shift' key works.... but really, WHAT is that Control key?
We should have the same keyboard on our X1. I have the win-key, tab-key shift-key, Sym-key (whatever that is), a 'blue-dot'-key (comes as FN key up) and on the right side the Del-key, enter-key and ok-key.
Where and what is that ctrl key?
Thanks

sorry, when I said popup keyboard, I meant the virtual keyboard. its the bottom left key highlighted in the pic below
unfortunately the physical keyboard doesn't have a control key

It would be great if we could remap the keys on the slide out keyboard. I would turn the 'au' key into a control key. Makes me wonder if the X1a will have an 'au' key or not? |

Guys,
You don't have to press any keys. You just put a stylus on one of the pictures and while keeping this on screen just DRAG a stylus around and mark what you want.
But, still in this case all the "Beam" options are greyed out! |

The question, is being able to multi-select non-contiguous files. This apparently can only be done with the default WM on-screen keyboard or third party software.
I think AEKmap will allow us to remap one of the keys on the slide out keyboard to 'Ctrl'. The trial version does not allow you to program that functionality though, so I'm not sure if it will really work. |

YES, you are correct - the beam option is not available so isnt the send. What a crap phone. Even my P990 can do a multiple bluetooth, send, etc.
By the way, anybody knows how to make the phone go connect automatically First to WiFi, then to Operator Data? Like the P990 has the Group accounts where is first tries to connect via WiFi and then goes to Data, Dialup or whatever.
And also, somebody knows how to make the X1 Disconnect from Data automatically after you close the brower? Like my P990.... what can I say!
Thanks

Okay, update to the multiselect...
I have now Resco Explorer installed and CAN INDEED multiselect AND Bluetooth multiple files.
So, Resco Explorer is the way to go....! Damn SE makes us always buy additional third party software to even 'keep' our abilities we had with previous phones (in my case the P990i).
At least and as long as we can find those its liveable. But we should not tolerate that SE gives us LESS for MORE... heck, we don't even have voice control unless we intall Voice Command.
And we should not car if this is due to "Operating Systems". I paid 900$ for the P990i when it came out.... I paid now 900$ when the X1 came out. And with the last one, many of us even get some nasty CRACKS for free with it.
I guess most of us 'just fall again and again' for SE devices!

In this case it is not SonyEricsson that makes you buy additional software, it is Microsoft. |
