Anyone know of any good voice/sound recording software?
Also when it crashes/freezes is there a way to reset it without removing the battery?
EDIT: Also anyone know of a good screen protector. Still got the original cover on atm.

Hi all,
I've spent a bit of time today looking at topics on the website http://www.xperiax1.net/ and found some good Win mobile 6 programs, and good advice.
Top two:
1. utility to change multi-threaded messaging to single-standard view. Some might like the Windows continuous feed, but I like to delete messages I no longer need. Must be the house-keeping IT person in me, lol. For those interested it's called "settings+" and can be downloaded from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-settings.html
2. For vodafone users: You CAN easily get rid of the Vodafone Live panel, if you so wish. I'm not too bothered by it at the moment, but apparently when it's gone internet access is even faster. There is a set of steps but someone has written a .cab to do the tricky bits and replace it with the google panel. Obviously you'll have to be careful re:warranty, but this guy has thought of that and backs up the Vodafone live panel, so you can replace it, so it's all good. If you want to know how, I'll put it here, but had to shutdown my laptop earlier, so can't remember exact link.
Slowly customising and finding my way, next thing to find out: a way to use mp3's for text message alerts. Ringtones are easy.
BTW to increase the size of the font on Opera Browser, just double tap the screen, found out by accident, lol.

Hi!
for those that used, not just looked at on the internet, a TyTn II!
Why is the X1 better than the TyTn II?
I played with one in CWP today, and checked out panels, fish etc etc !
It felt sturdy and the keyboard slid out smoothly... Yes, it felt really good...
but, in your opinion, why is it so much better?
I think they said £549-95 ? for sim free.

TytnII is plastic, X1 is metal (almost). X1 has 800x480 resolution, Tytn 320x240. X1 has more RAM, etc. I don't get the question?! O.O |

Guys i need your help. I have got my Xperia today, this is the first time every i have used windows mobile. For past couple years i have been using k800i, probably thats why i find xperia bit hard to use.
First of all on xperia can i set a short cut which takes me straight to write a new message like on my k800i it was when press left on joy stick.
2. Text messages are stored as a conversation, which i dont like i want it to b like as it was in my k800i.
3. My friend sent me a pic msg, The pic was very small, probably thats because of the high resoultion of the xperia, how can i enlrage the picture?
4. On screen keyboard is prety small for my fingers can i increase the size of it.
5. The phone book is displayed by last name, First name i looked through the settings to change it to First name first. Can it b done?
After a day of use these are they main problems, i might have some more in coming days, meanwhile your help will be appricitaed.

Hi all,
Re the what bands does the X1 work on user cpuz over at Xperia X1 Forum has just received his X1 and this is what he has reported.
Guys,
OK after checking and checking again and despite being told that the X1 supports 850 and 1900 3G the device turned up today and guess what? It does not so I can't get Rogers 3G out here in Canada!!!!!!!
Going to the phone settings shows that the device can be switched into the correct mode but doing this seems to have no effect.
I can only guess that the device has the software to support the band but the hardware does not.
So be careful folks, while you will get great Edge coverage you will not be able to get 3G!!!!!!
You have been warned!!
P
Sorry if this is not what many of you wanted to hear but it does seem like you will indeed a X1a to be able to use North American 3G/HSDPA.
Marc

I wouldn't be too hasty, just on one user's experience so far. It could be a faulty unit. First thing he should be doing is checking it out with his supplier before posting what basically is just his assumption.

Not only that, the panel is a software thing - anything a cab file can do to your phone, a master reset can undo. There is no modification to the firmware installed on ROM.

@masseur,
if you've updated your TyTN II to 6.1 then really the difference is screen size/resolution, panels and overall size.. and the fact its and the quality of build and feel is excellent
thanks, as regards the TyTn II, I don't think the overall size is that different, because I held them side by side today, but I do take your other points on board.
@norti
TytnII is plastic, X1 is metal (almost). X1 has 800x480 resolution, Tytn 320x240. X1 has more RAM, etc. I don't get the question?! O.O
Why don 't you get the question ? X1 vs TyTn II
but, in your opinion, why is it ( the Xperia X1 )so much better?
I think easy question !
@pinguino2
thanks for that.
Throw me a harder question. This is too easy
OK I need Chinese and Japanese support for email, web and need to have input too. CE-Star has it's limitations. Asukal's cabs do too and hard buttons are often disabled.
Question for you is, what do you recommend to get perfect Japanese and Chinese input? Download sites and any registry edits would be useful too.

height and width I agree, not alot of difference, but certainly in depth its noticeable, especially in your pocket

@Max
You are kidding right i mean you can't be serious this user has imported into Canada a X1 from the UK gone into the settings and changed it for the bands he needs it to work on 3G/HSDPA in Canada and it doesn't work.
Common sense dictates that if SE is offering two version of the X1 and the X1a in particular to work in North America plus they have said that the X1's are quad band GSM and only dual band UMTS. That despite all the wishful thinking that the X1 would support quad band UMTS it doesn't.
I would say this users experience is more likely to be right than those hoping the X1 does support quad band UMTS which lets face it seems extremely unlikely in the cold day of light. After all this is the first person that has actually tried it and it hasn't worked. Also i have yet to hear from one user in North America that has reported it works on North American UMTS as yet which says it all really doesn't it?
