I've been finding my way around my X1 for 24 hours now and I absolutely love it. Just one problem so far... I can't seem to receive anything by bluetooth. I have tried sending files from three different phones but it fails every time. Sending files from the X1 to another phone worked fine, but I can't receive anything. Any ideas anyone?
Goto start->settings/connections/bluetooth. Then click on "Mode" tab, select "Make this device visable to other devices".
Once the device has been paired, you can uncheck the box, if you like.
Chris.
Already did that before I tried, but no joy. Any other ideas?

TouchFlow 3D Review update for those interested:
==================================
The Good:
- excellent look and feel
- increased font size and buttons (one for you Marc  )
- full customisable options and settings
- weather panel that links to a website to give you information on the sky
above in your area, for the next 5 days. It also can retain information for
upto 6 other cities around the world
- excellent music player with clean interface (better than WMA player & SE
own) Album art is also displayed. "Audio Boost" for those who wish to add
Bass and dilute perfectly well recorded music
- excellent "people" panel, where you can put your favourite contacts, so
you can easily phone/text/email them. It can also show an enlarged
picture of your favourite contact
- fast panel response for message/emails
The Bad:
- slow to install
- bit slow to load panels with lots of information, like the Music panel.
However this improves when cached, and album art retrieved (so be
patience  )
Others have reported X1 crashing, but that has not happened to me. I think that'll be more to do with memory management - basically too many apps installed or running at the same time. To preserve battery and memory I always close down running apps that I'm not using. Why wouldn't you?
Any questions about it, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer.
Regards,
Chris

Hmmm, never had any problems with it, switch if off and back on again, don't try to connect to anything for about a minute (I've noticed Bluetooth takes time, active on phone sometimes). Then try re-pairing devices, from the X1 to the other device. I use passkey security.

Download .cab file to your X1 and click on it, it will self-install. N.B. Do it when you have some downtime (takes 30-40 mins to install!) so don't interrupt it, to prevent problems.
It has one speaker phone, which is standard.

Here are some questions for X1 owners: when playing music with the X1, can you go to another panel or any other part of the phone and continue listening? Can you use hardware keys to control the player? How do you go about changing music, and locking the phone if its in your pocket?
Also, is it true that everyone can hear a call when the call speaker is on?
What about regular Java based software (games and apps) that A1 and A2 can run? Can the X1 run those (allbeit in a smaller area of the screen)?

After about 24 hrs using the phone, I'm getting used to windows mobile OS (this is my first winmo device). I'm happy that the phone is fast because this is the main reason I hate P990.
Since using P800, I'm used to handwriting recognition using stylus.... and quite scared if the handwriting recognition of X1 is not as good as the P series.... Luckily, after trying several handwriting options in the Xperia, I found out that `letter recognizer' format is most similar to P series handwriting recognition where you have three separate area for capital letters, numbers and small letters... and it works nicely. Well done !

Hopefully some of you have been using WM devices for a long time, so here's a quick question. On X1, you can use your finger to scroll through menus and lists in the WM interface. For how long has that been possible with WM?

WOW! What a gang! It was just a comment.
I wasn’t expecting so many helping hands
Thank you guys
@Masseurvery strange, I find it almost impossible to type the wrong
key due to the error correction, and everyone I know with the iphone, and
those who have posted here on Esato in the iphone discussion have
aclaimed the error correction on the keyboard as near perfect Hi Masseur,
I’m listening to you man. I’ll pay attention to virtual keyboards. The iPhone
was my first experience. It felt I have to pay attention to too many little
things (key pops, little boxes etc) instead of just typing. Perhaps I’m bias
against iphone. (half phone). With respect to iPhone owners, I call my
brother an idiot for buying that stuff)
@Myth®I don't know, if SE have added a Keyboard which provides
a similar onscreen typing experience to that of the iphone, but if you
believe that it is not the best but closest match for your needs, you may try
Resco Keyboard: http://www.resco.net
Looks great maybe better than the IPhone it seems to have more options:
Stylus, different layouts, skins, math. I have only one question, will it work
on WVGA? Landscape?
@The_montI've had the X1 for 5 days now, and whilst I used to
type extremely quickly with one hand, using T9, I'm now happily typing
quite fast using the keyboard.
Obviously some people love virtual keyboards, but personally I like to feel
keys. I think the keyboard is good, and keys travel sufficiently to know
you've press them.
Only thing missing is a bunch of smiley's, lol.
Chris I’m happy for you Chris,
It’s always feels good when someone reassures what we believe. When I
get my Xperia the very first thing I will do is put my fingers on it and feel
that keyboard.
Thanks.

Yes, it works in both modes and I have no idea how it will look on a VGA or WVGA screen, but it should work.
Maybe someone here can try it out and tell us how it looks on a X1.

Hi MyP910,
Thanks for mentioning "letter reconizer". I was discussing above virtual
keyboards. I remember now when i had a Palm Pilot similar to what you
mention. It was fantastic I was able to write down a conversation or
conference without ever looking at the device without missing a word.
Thank you for let it me know, there more typing options in the Xperia.

I have been travelling around in Sweden and Germany this week and have finally been able to try its reception.
My verdict: Sony Ericsson definitely need to sort the problems.
While my Nokia N82 remain connected with my operator did X1 lose it way too many times to find it unacceptable.
WiFi as I have mentioned before is not particularly good and it's also slower than than all phones I have tried.
Other issues worth to mention are the Opera browser which is very sluggish from time to time and occasionally gives me error messages.
SMS typing is slow and with any media player activated, it's a pain to use.
Some received MMS just wont open unless I change to portrait mode.
One can guess my dissatisfaction about this product which I consider not being fully completed.
I don't know who to blame in this case? Is it Windows or is it Sony Ericsson?
I hope any Sony Ericsson or Windows representative is reading this. | |
