I've been using SuperSnap for the last year or two.
it works perfectly and gives several different methods for triggering the capture

Hi, I've never really used the internet on a mobile before, so forgive me for my lack of knowledge. Basically, could someone explain the differences between the various data connections? I've noticed that sometimes when I connect online, I have a G (GPRS, 3G) in the corner, and other times I have H (HSDPA). Could someone explain which connection is better? And why does it keep changing from one to the other? Are there other connections I should be aware of?
edit: oh, and one more thing. After I've updated my RSS feeds, should my phone continue to stay connected, or is the connection supposed to just shut off itself?

Not sure if anyone notice this on the xperia, whilst I was uninstalling the buggy touchflo 3d manilla interface, My phone locked up so I unpluggled the battery whilst the usb charger was in and notice a red light on the powerup button which I thought was quite groovey, So this looks like a warning light for batter fail

ricster2000 I am using the hsdpa data plan from t-mobile, and depending how your coverage is I see no difference between my wifi lan connection and hsdpa, the hsdpa account need to be activated for you to use it authenticates with their server, I had it enabled in the advanced connection properties, before I had the hsdpa account with T-Mobile I had the H notification displayed but couldnt connect, So after ringing technical support, They enabled my hsdpa account then bingo, It does drain the battery though |

Hey all - been playing with my X1 for a couple of days now and overall enjoying it, as people have mentioned a few issues here and there and I hope these are addressed in updates. I have a few questions:-
1) Bluetooth - when I pair from my laptop I only get 3 services, unlike my P1 where I have many more. On this point I cannot send a file to the file over BT as I dont have the service to do this but the phone says it supports it! I believe I read others were having BT problems - any cures?
2) Registry Editor - I tried to install a couple of free ones but they didnt see compatible, what are others using?
3) Smileys - I dont see any way to add smileys apart from typing out the symbols. Any nice utils to enable point and click addition like on the P1 for example?
4) Sync - Struggling to find any software to allow me to sync say my diary from Lotus Notes and contacts from Outlook (work and personal!) does this exist outside of ActiveSync?
5) Case - any nice non-bulky cases/soft bags yet I can only find large bulky leather ones.
All in all a gorgeously well made device that I think should only improve with some software additions and firmware updates 
Many thanks

re: the megapixel debate.
The hubble space telescope is basically the most powerfull digital camera in the solersystem - it has 4x 0.6mp detectors - yes thats a wopping 2.4mp camera.
Good example man.
MP has nothing to do with image quality per se. It has more to do with image size than actual quality. For example a 2MP image will be smaller on a computer screen or 1:1 print out than a 5MP image. But the quality itself depends only on the performance of the image sensor.
For example my Dad's 2-3 year old 6MP DSLR with APS sized sensor takes far better quality pictures than the cheap 12MP compact I bought the other day. The DSLR has a sensor size roughly 10 times larger than the 12MP compact. Because the Sensor is so much larger each photosite (pixel) is larger and is far less prone to noise.

3G means fallback to the slower 3G (up to 384Mbps) when you can't get a solid HSDPA connection. So 3G is good, (better than gsm fallback) but HSDPA is better ie: faster

Try Total Commander. It's a file manager (improves on the inbvuilt one) which also includes registry editing function and lan browsing. It works well on WM 6.0 should work fine on the X1.

I'm still not convinced there will be an X1a because...
The current X1 is X1 and not X1i
The X1 is shown on the US and Australian SE product pages as X1
The X1 has 850/1900 mhz frequencies available to choose
I've read a few reports that these frequencies work fine
hence, no real need for an X1a

Buggy? What problems did you experience? I have been running TouchFlo 3D for a week now, no crashes, no freezes, no sloweness, no problems .
I've been tweaking a few settings, based on XDA Developer tips, but not for any performance reasons. Actually once running (and it is the only panel I use) it's speed puts SPB shell and the default panels to shame... seriously.
I wrote a report early in this thread, and will follow up with my tweaks, even though it's obviously not your cup of tea.

does anyone how i can get the battery status on the tool bar on the x1. at the moment its vey fiddly to keep refering the settings / battery to see if there is enough power to last the whole day
thanks in advance
I have SPB Pocket Plus... with that you can have a few diffrent batterysymbols with the clock.
Just to add there are many versions of the battery monitor available, I don't need a mini-clock/time in my title bar, but an actual percentage of battery usage, definitely .
I use this one:

If you like, you'll need to install the sdkcerts.cab file as well, as the X1 won't work without it. This cab is also available down the above link.
It's a long thread, but you only need page 1. If you don't like it, uninstall using the "Remove Programs" under the Settings->Systems tab.

if there's no x1a, then, will 3G still work in the usa?

^^^ Yes, as long as the 3G frequencies of your provider matches the X1's UMTS frequencies. There was a video posted a few pages back showing the X1i using 3G on USA AT&T.
I think the manufacturing delays may have something to do with the non-announcement of the X1a.
I wonder what specific component is holding things up?  |
