Hehe. I bought a pack of screen protectors from Carphone warehouse when i picked up my memory card.
I am finding i enjoy using the stylus more for writing messages and stuff, and the screen protector is showing a lot of scratching.
The phone screen is fine underneath, tho.
So, I cant tell if the phone screen picks up scratches easily, cos mines been covered from day 1, but what i can say is
DONT GET SCREEN PROTECTORS FROM CPW. Theyre crap.
Anyone recommend some good ones?
I was hoping for the invisible shield to be announced soon for this phone.

Yowza!
Just checked ZAGG's Home page.
X1 full body shield is listed at $24.95.
Just need to get 1 shipped to UK now.
Happy Chappy.
Found out Zagg ship overseas, so just ordered. £20.42, with fast delivery to UK.

Hmm, do you think that a screen protector is necessary? Anyone got scratches on their screen yet? 
What do you people do your screens?! I've had a number of P-Series phones, and I've never used a screen protector.
I've had my X1 for almost 3 weeks, and my screen is absolutely fine. The only thing you need to do is wipe it from time to time, as you can't avoid that.

@The-Mont
I work in the Landscaping/Building industry, and some form of protection is essential for my phones.
I am always finding sand/grit makes its way into my pockets, and i have to carry my phone, as we are regularly making/receiving calls accross noisy sites, etc.
Although i have always kept my phones in cases, scratches are inevitable in this environment.
Trust me, Flip phones are impractical in my job! 
So.. . . . . . Hoping the invisible shield does what it says on the box, and my X1 will remain as good as new.

Hi everyone,
I need a bit of help.
I seem to have two issues with my X1 at the moment.
The first, is that it seems to have the worst signal in a phone I've ever had. My phone before this was a P1, and I've had 8 other SE phones since I've lived in the same house. My signal on the X1 just keeps going, and then it takes up to half a minute for it to even find the signal again. Are there any settings that might be affecting it at all?
Finally, I am having some problems with picture messages. Everyone I have received makes the picture enclosed absolutely tiny. It's just a very small square in the middle of the screen. I've looked at the settings and tried changing the picture size to VGA and leaving it as original size also, but everytime I receive one its always the same tiny size. I know it's not the other persons phone because I tried to send one to myself as well, and it has done the same thing.
Any ideas? |

Playing around a bit with me phone, as you do, and was wondering. . . .
should i be able to sens and recieve files between PC and X1 using Wi-Fi?
X1 connects with my wireless router, fine, but i dont see anything else happen.
Now, I am totally new to Wi-Fi, so please be tolerant. Do i need to pair the devices, like Bluetooth, or have i to set up a network connection in Vista, or something else?
Any info/help mucho appreciated.
Thanx.
EDIT Just had a go under Vistas network window, add a wireless device, and it doesnt find the X1, even tho the X1 says its connected to the router.
Any suggestions, or derisive laughter at my ineptitude welcome.
Thanx.

Mine is a CPW 02 but unbranded X1.
Think there was some discussion about this on xda developers X1 forum, but i cant remember the details, sorry.

Guys, do you all know does the X1 has a "ctrl" button on its keypad??? Cas I wanted to multi-select, it seems that I cannot do it...For eg, choosing many songs from a list and ommitting some in between... |

@s32bauer
mine works fine - fits to screen. Are you running a branded firmware? have you changed any of the settings at all?

@tai020381, there's no ctrl key on the physical keyboard so y9ou have to use the ctrl key on the virtual keyboard if you want to select multiple files that are not next to each other

No, you have bluetooth and USB for that..
X1 connects with my wireless router, fine, but i dont see anything else happen.
What exactly do you expect to happen here ?
Browse the web, check your e-mails, IM your buddies, etc and enjoy
If "dont see anything else happen" means that you are unable to perform any activities, you may check if 'mac filtering' is enabled in the firewall settings of your router. If yes, you'll have to enter the mac address of your device in the mac filtering table of your router.

That's odd. I have a CPW 02 unbranded X1 as well. This is very odd. Oh well, one function down..... |
